( Jet UlK Contract In lliirmnh.
LONDON , May 9. Replying to a question
In the House of Commons today as to
whether the Indian government had given
on order for the Goktlck viaduct In Bur-
mah to an American firm , and why prltlsh
manufacturers had not been asked to make
a tender , the secretary of state .for India ,
Lord George' Hamilton , replied that , jhe
Indian government had nothing to do with
the contract. It was given , he said , by
the Hurmah Railways company , which in-
vltcnl six English and two American firms
to make a tender. Four of the former re
fused tb bid and the most favorable En
glish tender received required three years
for completion of the work nt a cost ot
116,000 , while the best American- tender
proposed to complete the work In ono year
at a cosr of 60,125.The company had , In
thcsa circumstances , accepted the tender of
the American company. Lord" George Hamil
ton added that the Indian , railways always
gave preference to British manufacturers ,
but ho was sorry to gay that this was not
the first contract In which there was a
marked difference In the prlco and time of
delivery between British and American
tenders.

and several hundred members of the order
from different sections nf Nebraska were
pro/cut to add their finnl testimony of regaru
for the brother with whom they had served
so many years. The services wore almost
entirely under the supervision ot the Masons.

of n century , was mentioned and high en
comiums were paid to his devotion to his
work. The speakers were his friends , were
veteran Masons with him and knew from

MRS. HOPKINS' ADVhNTURES
Her StrnnKc Story HntortiiliiM .Indue
Gordon In the Vagrancy Cn e
of W. I , . DitvlH.
When the trial of W. L. Davis , accused
of vagrancy , took place yesterday afternoon
Judge Gordon listened to as strange a story
as ho has heard in a long time. The only
witness examined was Mabel Hopkins of
1037 Decntur street , who testified that she
met Davis last summer in a park and ho
asked her to marry him. She declined because -
cause she was already married. To his ur
gent plea to accompany him to Denver ,
however , she did not turn a deaf ear. She
packed her valuables and they started out.
At Fremont Davis said they could Iravel
moro reasonably If she would don some
of his wearing apparel and she did BO , As
a boy she was quite a success and they man
aged to get to Denver without the loss of
tlmo and nt very llllloexpense , in Denver
Davis Induced her lo work in a dance ball.
She slood It three nlghls , but It was too
tough and she gave H up. Afterward they
went to Victor , whore she tried two nights
In ft fiance hall. A friend of hqr family
came along and recognized her. A scolding
followed. She turned repentant , tbo hard
Ufa she bad led aiding in opening her eyes ,
nnd when the friend supplied her with
'clothing , in which she was lacking , she left
Davis and came homo.
This was not moro than three weeks ago.
She found that her husband bad obtained
a dlvorco during her absence , so she must
shlf.t for herself , She obtained work In n
restaurant , but had not been there long
before Davis reappeared. His arrest fol
lowed on the ground that ho was a sus
picious character. Judge Gordon , however ,
dismissed tbo case , the city prosecutor si
lently acquiescing.
BtST RESERVED FOR LAST

" ( Inn A'nillN. "
As the best Is alwavs reserved for the
last , the lecture of Hev , J , E. Itellly at
St. Mathtas' Episcopal chapel lost evening
was no surprise. Thn series Is ono of the
best that has been heard In tbo cltv and
tbo wonienWho had charuo of then ! are to
bo congratulated upon tbo success they
achieved.
The illustrations given of "Quo Vadls"
and tbo magnificent lecture of Mr. Itellly
make a combination It would be bard to
excel. Without bis lecture tbo pictures In
themselves would furnish an excellent en
tertainment for nn evening. With his leo-
turu one is given enough food for thought
to occupy him for some timo.
From the opening Illustrations of the fa
mous book the Interest Is Intense. Ono fouls
that ho cannot wait for the Illustration of
the particular portion of "Quo Vadls"'to
which the speaker IB referring. From the
meeting of Lyela and her lover to the
crucifixion of the Christians the attention
of the audience Is Intensified with each
successive Illustration , The death of Croton
at the hands of the giant , Ursus , and bis
subsequent consignment to the river with
the "agonizing eueponeo of Clillo furnished
one strong view. The departure of Nero and
llinumerabld caravan of'courtiers , slaves
and wild beasts , bis feasts nt which each
drank himself into unconsclouvnesB. and the
rctiirn to see the city of Homo aflame , tired
the Imagination of thetaudltors UK tbo story
was recited , Nero posing at the entrance
to tbo eternal city , waiting for the Inspired
god to fill bis enfeebled wind with words
appropriate to the occasion finds himself
.cursed by the rabble , which threatens to
attack the guard that surrounds bis august
person. I'ctronlus comes to his aid and
offers to go among the populace and quiet
it. The burning of the city Is laid at tbo
door of the Christians and Nora promises
the most extreme punishment , The feeding
of the thrlstlnns ! to the lions nnd their Im
palement upon crosses furnished a rich
theme for the speaker and excellent views
of these events were given. The most PX
citing ot the contests depleted In the arena
is tbo struggle between Ursus , the giant
Lyglan , nnd the maddened bull , to whosfi
horns Is strapped the naked form of Lygla ,
the barbarian's queen. His muscular form
seem1) ) to gain In strength as ono gazes nt
thf struggle and Its result Is awaited with
feverish Interest. The departure of Peter
from Rome and his meeting with Christ Is
given. The "quo vadls , domlne , " of the
aged apostle Is 'fittingly illustrated. Nero
passed as the whirlwind and left destruction
and suffering In his path , but near the sccno
of the Savior's appearance to Peter a little
chapel stands today bearing the words ot
the apostle , "Quo vadls , domino ? " i
DRUNKEN MAN WITH A GUN

ClljHOII.
A drunken man with r. shotgun kept bis
neighbors at Oltsoh besieged for several
hews In their homes Tuesday night , not
daring to venture out after aid for fear of
being killed.
The man's nnnio In Louie Scbwak- The
neighbors saw him IssUe from hU house ,
gun In hand , and ehoot nt the first person In
view , ll-ycur-old Anton iMartnek ; then they
took refuge tn-doore nnd peeping from be
hind curtains they watched Schwak parad
ing the streets , brandluhlng the ehotgun and
daring somebody to como out and make a
tarket ot himself.
The father of the 'Martnok boy was first
to attempt to pass Schwak's picket line and
ho applied to the pollco for the drunkard'ij
arrest and for medical old for his wife , who
swooned with fright nt her boy's narrow cd-
capo from being ahot.
If the atory told by Anton Martnok bo
true , some of the leaden pellets from Louis
Schwnk's gun must have whizzed through
little Anton iMartnek , jr.'s Uilr.
How the child escaped being killed Is
miraculous , ilia mother , who was standing
near , fainted when she saw what a clofo
call her Tjoy had nnd was carried Into the
house. When Schwak became quiet some of
the braver residents of the vicinity per
suaded him to part with the gun and be
led Into bis home , 'where a watch was kept
over him until the pollco arrived.

1S9S , to March 31 of tlio present year , In
full of Interesting facts nnd the figures show
that the city Is doing an enormous business
and Is growing all 'the ' time. While the city
la growing its Indebtedness Is also forging
ahead. In connection with the methods nt
pteecnt in vogue Kxpcrt Beck has this to
sav :
I cannot find that any report has ever
boon made to the council ot the nmount of
tbo floating Indebtedness of tbo city , nclthei
Is there any record kept where the same can
bo foilnd without an Immense amount of
labor. Tbo city clerk keeps a register of all
warrants Issued by him , but docs not cancel
the same when they nro paid by the treas
urer ni receipted voucbeis.
"Tho treasurer also keeps a register of all
wan ants presented for payment which nre
stamped 'not paid' for want of funds and
when these warrants are all called In the
same nro then canceled on the warrant reg
ister , but there tuny be warrants Issued thnt
nro never presented for payment until the
money Is In the fund to pay the same. I
would therefore recommend that n suitable
book bo secured under tbo directions of ( tie
treasurer for the purpose of carrying for
ward the monthly statement of the outstand
ing indebtedness of the city nnd that the
same bo made a part ot the treasurer's
monltily report to the council. Mr. Broad-
wull 'has ' exercised all proper care nnrt
prudence in thp conduct of bis office nnd 1
found nil ( its records properly nnd neatly
kept. "

Mniiiifauliirl.tK In tlie Midwest.
The Commercial club was entertained last
night by an address from G. M. Hitchcock
of Omaha. There was a good attendance
nnd the utmost attention wns paid to the
speaker's remarks. Mr. Hitchcock had boon
requested to p cak on "Tho Mid-West as
a Manufacturing Center , " and it was upon
these lines that bis remarks were directed.
He said , in opening , that a generation ago
the eastern states contained the manufac
turing establishments of the country.
"Year by year , " said tbo speaker , "a
change has been going on , however , In tbo
direction of equalization of the situation and'
It cannot now bo said that the cast has a
monopoly of American manufactories. The
first manufactories to bo established In the
west were naturally these which could consume -
sumo 'western products to n good advantage
or thosCj wherein freight charges cut so large
a flsuro that It was more economical to
rtianufacturo In the west for western con
sumption than to manufacture In the cast
and pay freight charges. We lu the west ,
who originally depended alone upon agrl-
culturp , have become largely imbued with
the conviction that manufactories are neces
sary to the proper development of our re
sources and to the Increase of our wealth.
While agriculture Is a permanent source of
wealth , It Is not the rapid source ot wealth
that manufactories are considered to be. It
takes a largo farm to raise , In the course
of a year , $3,000 worth of produce , but avery
-very small factory will turn out three times
that value of manufactured goods. Without
in any way rellectlng upon the desirability
of agriculture , wo In the 'west have como
to look upon manufacturing ns Important to
our welfare. We view the construction of
a great manufacturing plant with infinite
gratification , because wo realize that the In
stitution will employ labor ; the employment
of labor means the payment of wages ; the
payment of wages means the distribution
of money in tfio community , a natural in
crease In population , nn increase in the value
of neighboring property , and , In a word , a
benefit to everyone living In the neighbor
hood of the manufacturing Institution ,
whether a land owner , n merchant , a lodg
ing house keeper , a lawyer or n doctor. "
After illustrating his points with word
pictures , the speaker continued : "This
strong and natural desire for manufacturing
institutions has led to the growth of a
sentiment in favor of patronizing homo In
dustries. We are taught to believe that
If wo spend our money among our neighbors
the money remains In tho. community In
which wo are interested nnd benefits us ;
whereas , if wo spend It in Chicago or Now
York it toes into circulation In tboso com
munities and is taken out of circulation
from among us. The result of these two
sentiments has contributed largely to tbo
growth ot the west lu manufacturing in
dustries. "
Mention was made of the great benefit
the packing houses are , as they take the
raw material and manufacture It into a
finished product which is then shipped to
nil parts of the world. Hundreds of people
nro employed by these " great Institutions ,
said Mr. Hitchcock , "and tbo population In
the vicinity certainly appreciates the benefit
to the community. The speaker assorted
that In contemplating the great manufac
tories wo were too much Inclined to over
look the hundreds of small Industries. These
ho considered of vast Importance to a com
munity. The Importance of small factories
should not. In the opinion of the speaker ,
bo overlooked , for In time these same small
factories grow into gigantic affairs.
A list of the manufacturing establish
ments of Omaha and South Omaha was read
by tbo speaker , and in conclusion be said
that ho had found on Investigation that the
manufacturing Institutions most needed In
South Omaha were a tannery , paper mill ,
button and comb factory , flour mill , planing
mill , canning factory , iwoolen mill , foundry ,
cooper factory nnd a beet sugar factory.

Coroner Swanson has decided that there
Is no need of .Tn Inquest on the remains of
Mike Gregory , who was scalded to death nt
Armour's 'Monday ' night. The remains will
therefore be sent to Chicago today for in
terment. The Armour-icompany , through Its
manager , R. C. Howe , telegraphed to Chicago
cage to relatives of the deceased and re
ceived a reply requesting that the remains
'bo ' forwarded. Gregory was engaged In
skimming grease from tnnhs when the acci
dent occurred. Ho was walking along above
the tanks on a ten-Inch 'board when In
some manner bo missed his footing and fell
Into a scalding vat. Before he could bo ex
tricated the lower part of the body was
badly scalded. The deceased -was a single-
man and had no relatives In this part of
the country. After Coroner Swanson had in
vestigated ho decided that the accident was
unavoidable and consequently no Inquest was
necessary.
