There was a sensation of large mag- nitude in Judge Wright's court yee- terday, which resunlted in & witness being transferred to the police cour. and becoming a defendant herself. The case on trial was Reed vs. Boone. Miss Lizzie Reed brought suit against Ralph W. Boone for $50, for money loaned and for nursing him during sickness, The defense at. tempted to prove that the plaiatift's character was very bad and that she had been the caase of consia- erable expense and suffering to the defendant by having eommunicated a bad disease to him, One of the witnesses was Miss Car- rle Mullen, who lms figured in the police court several times as a woman who believed In maintaining her righte ‘‘vi et armis” She once as saulted a sporting man on the corner of Thirteenth and Douglas, and subse- quently “layed”’ for others In the samo vicinity with a handful of mud with which she proposed to plaster them. She is the quoon cf the Omaha demi-monde, 80 far as beauty is con- corned, and but fora few traces f dis- sipation it would be hard to match her face and form anywhere., She is as rich in temper as in good lcoks, and she showed up in cours this morning with a full hand, As Miss Reed was testifying she was asked as to Miss Mullen's character and declared that she was was & woman of the town, and inti mated that the young man had ¢b tained his troublesvme sicknees fron her. Upon this Miss Mullen rprang trom her chair like an enraged tigress and with one bound reached the wit- nees. Sho seized her by the hair, which fortanately was false on top, and pulled it off in a hurry. She went for the Reed woman like all possessed, and Constable Dutcher and and another man interfercd, fearing that the plaintiff in the cae on trial wonhrbe killed. In the course of the row Constable Datcher had one finger hurt, which he claims was done by Carrlo's teeth, but this she denier. He separated the combatants after a fierce stroggle, and the belligerent witnees was taken to the police conrt, where a compiaint was filed agniust her during the day for disturbunce of the peace. She claimed that the young man was her intended husband, and that Miss Reed had been follow- ing him about, keeping him from work and blackmailing him genhtently. “‘T ought to have whipped er long ago,” she eaid, ‘‘She shan't follow my man around and blackmail him.” Her eyoa flashed and she set her lips as she spoke as if she could eat up a wagon load of women or men either, After.this interruption the case pro- ceeded, and the court rendered a ver- dictot $30 for the plainiiff, who was represented by Mr, N. J. Bornham, who tried to keep all mattera like that which caused the fight from coming out, but was unsuccestfal, though suc- coseful in getting a verdict for his client, It was about as big a sensation as hus occurred lately and posaibly is not entirely over yet. e — O'CONNOR-DIFFLEY. A Pleasant Wedding at St. Philo- mena's. The nuptials of Mr, John J, 0'Con- nor, the well known and popular young attorney of this city, and Miss Nellie Difflay, the neloe of M.

Have we delighted in the social festivities? Haye we had great pleasare in the good things of our own tablea? or have we been greatly absorbed in making moneyf or in any any way sought scifish gratification! This is the season for abstinence, Why such abatinence! Because it is “sulted to extraordinary acts and exercides «f devotion”—that we may have more time for prayer and self- examination, that worldly thoughts may not crowd in upon us, when we kneel at daily prayer at church or at home, ana furthermore that we may have more to give at Easter for the work of the blessed Savicur among men, But then we shall not be fulfilling our whole duty. A part of this time ought to be used in exer‘ing a per- sonal i1 flaence upon members of our own families or friends towards bring ing them to buptism, confirmation or holy communion, not because these aro soflicient of themselves, but the holy ordinances represent the mor- tifying of evil and corrupt affac. tiona aud the daily progress in virtue aud Godlinees of ltving. What & glorlous Esster for us if we can feel that all these dutles have been heeded, and eepeclally if we can lock back sand see some one brought, through our influence, to the avior, % May the Holy Spirit sanctify these fow words to your good, is the prayer of Your Affectionate Pastor, Fraxx R Mitisraven. —n o B HarinDal, ORDER OF LENTEN SERVICES, Daily prayer — Wednerdsys and Fridays at 7:30 p. m; other week days at 4 p. m.

These are the unsolved, the insoluble problems of mortal life and human destiny, which prompted the troubled patriarch to ask that momentous qaestion for which the ceuturies have given no answer: ‘Tf & man died, ehall he_ live again?' Every man is the centre of a circle whoeo fatal circumference he cannot pses, Within its narrow confines he is potential, beyond it he perishes; and if immortality is a splendid but delusive dream, if the incompleteness of cvery career, even the longest and most fortunate, be not supplemented and perfected after its termination bere, then he who dreads to dreshould fear to live, for lifo is a tragedy more desolate and inexplicable than death " e Buried Troasura.

FURTHER PARTICULARS, Love Ciry, Neb, Febroary 2. — Since the formation of Sherman county nothing has ever so excited the pecple ss the tragedy which occurred here yesterday. For quite a period C. E. Waite, the uherifrf‘of the county, in addition to his'cfficial duties, has been the clerk in the Massasoit hotel, kept by Mrs, 0. E Ryan, a widow. She hud deen married several times, and although forty-five years old was a comely locking woman, Walte, it seerus, fell in love with her and watched her attentions to others with a jealous eye. A chort time einse a man with some little money appeared at the hotel and made love to the widow and the at. tentions and passion were recipro- cated. The eheriff during a conversation with the widow yesterday found that his hopes were blighted, and that the widow loved the other man, This knowledge enraged him, and notwlth- standing the fict that he tried by every mears in his power to haye Mre. Ryan retura to him, she turned a deaf car to all his entreatics, Wrought up to a fury of desperation Waite drew a heavy pistol, and as the woman was about to leave the room, he leveled the weapon at her and fired twice. She f.ll to the floor with a bullet through her head and another through her body. As she fell the in- farlated man held the pistol to his own head and fired the sbot piercing his brain and killing him instantly. A crowd (f the oltizens aroused by the noise of the discharge came flock- icg to tho hotel and the wild rumors ot murder and suicide were quickly confirmed as the bodies of the ill-fated man and woman wers seen lying stark and silent upon the flyor as they had tallen in the throes of death. Waite had been well raised and it is consider- ed here that his infatuation for the woman was very unfortunate for him even if ithad not led him to have committed the crime of both murder and suicide.
