It la believed his name was A. Kssper.
Jack Williams, laborer on ths Union Pa
cific, was arrested Saturday morning as a
.suspect In the killing of ths unidentified
f man at Ninth street and Capitol avenue
Friday night by Detective Devereeso and
t Pntrolman Crow.
Williams was found wandering- aimlessly
"round the scene where someone slipped
dirk knife Into the body of a stranger and
Jft It sticking there. He waa arrested on
i the snot, which Is In the proscribed dls-
J tflct. A knife cat In Ma ten shoe aroused
the suspicions of the officers. This Is
fart that attracted the attention of the
officers to him. When taken to the police
J station Captain Mostyn and Captain Bavage,
ctilef of detectives, piled him with questions
t regarding Ms movements on the night be-
fore.
Williams said be had been employed In
yiae Dolly ft Moody camp at the TTnlon Pa
stflc cut-off and waa drinking Friday night
'.'i' Burke's saloon at what kt known as
(Uie ."gravel pit." near Tenth and Daven
Syert streets. He said he eould not place
ph time of the night, but that he left
trthere and. went to a saloon which by Its
description waa recognised as Goldsmith's,
.at Ninth and Capitol avenue. Staying there
''tot a time he went out and walked north
on Ninth street.
" " Saw a Ha Following Him.
"I noticed a man was following me," he
teM, "and I said to myself, If that man
Is following me, then It's a case of him or
;m, whichever gets there first.' The fel-
low kept efter me and after a while got
right In front of me. I said to myself. "Now
:1s the time' and etruck him down with my
i fist and kicked him. He tried to grab my
leg, but I Jumped over him and ran Into
the rallrpad yards, where I hid for an
; hour and a half until everything was quiet,
v- when I came back and went to a lodging
; house for the night. I ran Into the dark
t yards because I thought a man across the
4 st reet might be his pal and get after me.
Taking the prisoner between them Mostyn.
T and Savage visited the district, and Wil
liams pointed out the Goldsmith saloon.
Then he walked to a point about MO feet
;6rth of Capitol avenue on the west side of
: Ninth Street and said, "Here Is where I
knocked him down." Directly at this spot
the blood trail began that led to Meadlmber
?& ColweU'e saloon. x
'- geea Blood aad Alters Story.
Williams saw the blood also and then
thanged hlSyformer story, saying he did not
i run Into the dark yards to avoid the other
man. but Aack Into the light and Into one
Jot the houses.. Then his first real anxiety
was manifested and he said:
J "Gentlemen. If I can prove to you that I
waa In a saloon all last evening where
' there were twenty men, from I until 11
I o'clock, will you believe 1 am not the man
typu are after?"
Before this ho had' maintained utter
'jjnb'rance of the time and the police had
.;not mentioned the murder to him or even
""ntnted at what he was suspected of having
Jone, He' waa questioned regarding the
Jflgtit, but strongly denied he had used a
knife and. said he used only his fists. De
fectives have gone to the camp at the cut-off
with, the weapon In the hope of finding
someone who can Identify It as the prop
ter!? of 'Williams. - '
The murder was committed about t
"'o'clock Friday night and so far as known
"there were no other witnesses than the
'principals. The victim ran excitedly Into
, Meadlmber ft Colwetl's saloon on the north-
yvott comer of Ninth street and Capitol
''avenue, calling "Knife, knife." and trying
to call attention to a murderous looking
weapon, the handle of which still protruded
' from a point In his back, between the
shoulder blades. Meadlmber called up the
.police station and in a short time the
patrol wagon arrived with Dr. Harris.
; Bleeds to Death.
The wounded man was found to be nearly
djead. having bled profusely and he passed
away In a few - minutes without having
j tittered a word to explain his condition or
.-trll who he waa Lew Goldsmith had run
across the street and helped support the
fainting man. but no one dared remove the
knife from his back and It remained until
pulled out by the surgeon.
The coroner took charge of the body and
found a wound on the breast, Indicating
he had been In a fight A handkerchief
with the Initial "F;" a collar with , the
laundry mark "AKI;" a hat with the name
of a Denver haberdasher; a Jackknlfe and
a few pieces of silver, were the only things
found by which Identification might be
established. He was apparently about ft)
years old and had the appearance of a
laborer. Coroner Bralley probably will
hold an Inquest on Monday. -

The annual banquet of the Omaha Metho
dlnt Episcopal union was held at the ban
quet hall of the Millard hotel Friday night
and was attended by sbout H persons,
composed of ministers of MethodWt
churches of Omaha and suburbs and their
wives and church members. The Omaha
Juvenile orchestra furnished excellent
music -dining the banquet. After the ban
quet was over the spesker of the evening,
Rev. Malhew S. Hughes of the Independ
ence Avenue church of. Kansas City, was
introduced by President Bt urges. His re
markr were confined largely to what he
conceived to be the church's duty In solv
ing the problems of the largo cities.
"I am an optimist," he said. "I believe
every rising sun shines upan a better day,
and that with all of Its sin snd crime the
worst of Our . modern cities Is a paradise
beside any olty that Jesus knew. We
hsve no Rome, where every third man met
on the streets was a slave, as was the con
dition In the time of the Apostle Paul. In
those days the dishonest business man was
held In high esteem, snd debauchery waa
a religious rite. It takes the highest order
of statesmanship to deal with municipal
questions. Among the serious problems of
modern city life Is . the tenement house,
which I consider a festering sore to society.
Only t per cent of the people of New Tork
City and 18 per cent of those of Boston
own their own homes, snd that Is far from
being a healthy condition. Our churches
are doing a great missionary work In China
and all over the world, but we are not
doing enough mission work In out awn

As In other branches of trade ths only
drawback is ths uncertainty supplied by
the unfavorable weather and tkua far this
tact haa caused no cancellations of conse
quence. frtres Of cotton goods are still higher, In
response to the. strength of raw material,
ana manufacturers receive an Increasing
volume of orders, many of which must be
refused because satisfactory deliveries can
not be made. Speculative purchasers are
not encouraged, but actual scarcity fre

shews a further advance. Worsteds open

and prices show no definite trend. There Is
a fair demand for serges on about the same
basis as last season, but in all sections of
the market it is a conspicuous fact that
higher prices have not checked business
when the goods were needed and lower
quotations failed to attract much interest.
Conditions are unchanged in the boot and
shoe Industry, prices running steady at ro

In the cow hides that have been In larger

of rain In ths cotton belt. . This has made
for a more opthnlstlo feeling aa to ulti
mata yields snd future trade In the sec
tion enjoying even a small share of sea
sonable weather, but the great majority
of cities, snd particularly those in the
eastern half of the country, complain of
continued alow trade and collections. Thfse
unfavorable conditions are In turn re
flected In mors general complaints of the
sbsence of the expected volume of reorder
business from jobbers snd manufacturers,
who are also beginning to re-echo the re
ports of accumulating stocks of light
spring and summer fabrics. Reduction
sales are more in evidence In retail lines
and the feeling Is that soma of the trade
lost In the last two months will not be re
gained. On ths other hand, the reports
as to fall trade are quite satisfactory, a
reflection possibly of ths fact that retail
stocks of heavy goods were well cleaned
up laat winter. 1 Crop uncertainty and the
fact that reorder business this spring has
been practically absent In many linen,
however. Indues oonaervstlara sa to future
ordering and there Is less disposition ts
embark freely In future commitments un
til the situation becomes clearer.
Pig Iron markets are quiet, but furnaces
are sold so far ahead that producers nrs
not uneasy over the absence of business.
fw business in steel rails Is of moderate
bruuoi Uous. demand for structural tun-
terlal Is only fair, thouph some large Or
ders arei said to be pending. An impres
sion prevails that orders for cast Iron pipe
will be reduced, owing to the high level
of prices. Sheet as well as plats pro
ducers are In a position to make better
deliveries. Demand - for tlnplate is not
quite so active, but the mills are very
well fixed with orders. In the west de
mand for steel bars Is still heavy. Coke
continues weak, production being above
demand. Electrolytic and -casting grades
of copper are easier in price and domestic
business is light.
