| | g THIRTEENTH YEAR. ARTHUR'S ARRIVAL. The President of the United States ir Omaha. He Passes Through Without Any Stop-over at AlL The Start trom Chicago and the Trip Across Towa and Hiinols. The trip to the Yellowstone park by President Arthur and party has been talked of for some weeks past, and yes- terday's telegrams announced the fact that he left Chicago on time and would arrivo in Omaha at 4 a. m. to-day. At this unseemly hour it was of course impossible for the pwriotic citizens of Omaha to give the chief executive of the nation any public reception, and the whole scheme was consequently aban- doned, The following dispatch was received by Hon. Charles F. Manderson last eve- ning: Dewrrr, Towa, Aug. 3, 1883, Hon. Charles ¥, Manderson-— The President wishes to express his thanks for the welcome tendered him at Omaha, and regrets that he will have to pass through at four o'clock in the morn- ing and that to name a more convenient hour would ' necessitate changes in the arrangements made for his journey which cannot be made without great embarras- ment.

A delegation of citi- zens of Peoria called on President Arthur last evening, and invited him to be present at the opening of the Peoria fair, September 5th.

Last night the president accompanied by a reception committee, including Mayor Harrison, Hon. C. B. Farwell, Collector Spaulding, Postmaster Palmer and John B. Drake, arrived at the hotel and an informal reception was held in the parlors, where the president met acquamt- ances and friends.

Cm1cAco, August 3.—The three lines botween Chicago and St. Louis, viz. the Wabash, Illinois Central and Chicago & Alton, made a rate between these points to-day of $6.50, the rate heretofore hav- ing been $8.

Kawsas Cray, August 3.—The belief is current amonyg Irishmen here that O'Don- nell, who Kkilled James Carey at Port Ehzabeth last Monday, is identical with Capt. Thomas Phelan, of this city. Phelan left here for Dublin about two months ago, ostensibly to look after a legacy left him by some_distant relative. But little is known of his subsequent movements except that he arrived in Dublin during the progress of the Phanix park trial. 'I'he description given of O'Donnell by Cape Town corres- pondent, tallies exactly with that of Phe- 1an, being six feet tall, about 45 years of age, dark hair, blue eyes, and with slight paralysis in one hand. He has residel i this city about 25 years; has taken an active part in local politics and has been known as an avowed nationalist and man of remarkable courage and withal an expert with a rifle or pistol. He has given some public exhibitions in that direction and received a wound in the hand spoken of upon one of these occasions. He served as a Union soldier during the war, being captain of Co. L. from this county. The matter, although talked of among Phelan's friends, has been kept quiet and nothing of the sus- picious has yet appeared in the news- papers. An intimate friend said to-night that while he had no actual information, he felt contident Phelan was the man who killed Carey. He said it was under- stoud before Phelan left that he should travel under the name of O'Donnell. THE TELES 1 STRIKE. A COMING BLOW AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, Cuicaco, August 3.-—The reported grand movement on the part of the strik- Tiig operators, talked about & good deal sterday, has sofar failed to materialize. hie men continue to shake their heads ominously. When spoken to about it they it may be made at any minute. Each man professes profound ignorance as to the nature of the blow about to be dealt, but it is emphatically asserted that when the blow is given it. will preclude all possibility of further con- tinuance of the strike. The feeling among the strikers is very bitter against those half dozen aen who renounced the Brotherhood and returned to work the past two days. Members of the board of trade are beginning to get exasperated over the existing state of affairs. In an interview one member of the board of trade said, *‘We don’t want a settlement of this difficulty to come around soon; we want it immediately. Our business is prostrated for want of prompt coro- munication. Unless some sort of a settlement is made presently there is going to be a mighty big kick here.” General Superintendent Clowry received a card from Superintendent Tinker, which states that 26 strikers have re- turned to work in New York up to date. Two more strikers returned to work in Chicago to-day. THE CIGAR STRIKE ENDED, New York, August 3.—A number of the striking cigar makers returned to work to-day, the difficulties between them and employes having been settled. The remainder go to work Monday. e — The Ku-Klux in Georgia, ATLANTA, GA., August 3.—A large and enthusiastic meeting of the best citizens of Banks and Jackson counties was held at Maysville, to take some action in re- gard to raids of a lot of lawless persons upon negro houses, whipping and shoot- ing negroes, Strong resolutions con- demning such violence were passed. It seems that for some time past, there has been a gang of Ku-Klux molesting negroes in the vicinity of Ma; ville. Numerous outrages have been committed in the last two weeks, such as giving 175 lashes to Cad Bush, unmerci- fully whipping Mancy Prickett. Re- cently about 20 kluklux visited planta- tions and committed numerous outrages. e —— Striking Deserters, Cuicaco, August 3.—General Super- intendent Clowry received a telegram this morning from Charles A, Tinker, super- intendent of the eastern division of the Western Union telegraph, dated New York, which reads as follows: ‘‘Six more operators came in from New York strik- ers to-Gay, making twenty in all here, and over one hundred have r« turned since the strike in this division. The reports of further withdrawals from our forces in any direction are false, as all are sensa- tional reports daily circulated through the channels of the strikers.” Suicide ofa King's Son. Cicaco, August 3.—Gay Norden, a finely educated young Swede, was found lying dead in the dish Lutheran church at Englewood, near this city, yes- terday, having committed suioide, The morning papers claim the young man had been identifie itimate son of King Oscar, of den, and that he was ised in a family of the sister of the king, During his stay in this country he has been engaged as instructor in a private school. On a portable black- board, back of the pulpit, he written “the dead cry never.” No cause is as signed for the deed. £ m— A Commission on Duties. New Yoik, August 8.

POLITICAL CRIME Mississippi Democnats Efeetiely Vel ing, “The Republicans Mast Go.” The Recent Lynchimg of a Promi. nent Politician — Tweedism Breaking Out Again in New York—Other Crimes. ‘THR RAPUBLICANY MUST Go." Kroxkvk. Ta., August 3.—Captain D, W. Pressell, lynched in Meyeraville, Mississippi, for alleged rapo on a child, was long a resident of this The Gate City says editorially: “*Wao have not the remotest belief, not the shadow of a belief, that Captain D. W. Pressell, whom we have known for years, was guilty of the alleged crime. Wo do not believe the crowd that hung him thought he was, but he was a republican—an in- telligent, active republican, and that the Mississippi crowd of cutthroats hung him for that and nothing else. The accusation is absurd. The solemn statement made by him, “So help me God, I am not guilty of the accusation,” was, we have no manner of doubt, as true words as were ever spoken in this world. But he was a republican and had helped republi- canism to win in his part of Mississippi. That was his offense and for that he was hanged, and if ever the truth is known as to this matter that will be found to be the truth,” TWEKDISM IN NEW YORK, New York, August 3,—Some two months past it was discovered that the comptroller’s office of the city of New York had been robbed of about 115,000, The examinaticn of the books showed the thefts had been committed by the confidential clerk in the receiving dep: ment named Carroll, who died previovs to the discoveries. - Carroll’s father, one of the largest land owners in the state of New York, strenuously denied his son's guilt and refused to moke any settle- ment. The difticulties growing out of Carroll's defalcation finally led to the resignation of Allin Camp- bell as comptroller. The grand Jury of the General Sessions court to-day made a presentment in_court to- day regarding the coupon frauds of ten years ago. The presentment recites the history of the issue of the bonds, of which fifteen million were printed by the National Bank Note company, by order of Comptroller Richard Connelly, of the Tweed ring fame. Andrew H. Green, succeeding Connelly to the office of Comptroller, refused to use these bonds because they bore on the coupons the printed signature of Connelly. Green consequently ordered the issue destroyed, appointing _three of his mostresponsible employes, Messrs, Earle, Storrs and Cady to count and burn the bonds. In his affidavit to the grand jury Green testified he witnessed the burning of the bonds himself. It would seem that all coupons attached to the destroyed bonds were not burned with the bonds; that Carroll, as receiv- ing clerk, fraudulently cashed large num- bers of these coupons for outside swindlers, knowing their bogus character; that coupons being cashed by an employe of the city renders the cit; lisble for the loss. The gran jury recommend thorough examina- tion of the comptroller's oftice by skillful men outside of the office; also recommend that hereafter payments of city coupons be made by some responsi- ble bank as a protection to the city against further fraud; thatlaws should be immedintely passed prohibiting any issue of city indebtedness other than in regis- tered form; recommends the conversion of all ontstanding coupon bonds into reg- istered bonds. They also believe the system and method of book-keeping in the comptroller's officeshould be changed and improved. Mayor Edson has appointed Seth H. Grant, his private secretary, comptroller, to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of Comptroller Allan Campbell. For many years Grant was superintendent of the produce exchange. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN, Kansas Crry, August 3,—In the Stein case, Judge White to-day overruled the motion for a new trial and sentenced the prisoner to twenty-five years in the pen- itentiary, A stay of execution of sen- tence was granted until Monday in order to permit the defense to file exceptions for an appeal to the supreme court.

At Kampsville work was done in excavating the lock pit and in con- structing a coffer dam. During the pres- ent year the unexpended balance of the last appropriation 200,614, will be ap- plied to furnishing the lock foundations at Lagrange and Kampsville, purchasing stone for the Lagrange lock and laying the same as far as the funds on hand will permit. It is belicved that the money now available will complete the lock at Lagrange during the present session and should the necessary funds be appropriated for continuance of the work during the next year the entire plant will be transferred” to Kampsville and construction of the lock at that point will be begun. the entire improvement was £850,000; of this $673,000 has been appropriated, of which $88,600 was expended in the pur- chase of a dredging outtit. It is osti- mated that to complete the work $35,- 000 will be required and it is thought $350,000 can be profitably expended next year. The engincer rccommends a special appropriation for carrying on the work, the coming scason, of sur- veys of the Hennepin canal, and the en- largement of the Illinois and Michigan canal, The engineer reports the esti- mates prepared for compl surveys ordered by the provision in the river and harbor act of 1882, were trans- mitted to congress and printed in Octo- ber, 1882, Of the $30,000 appropriated for making these surveys, he reports $10,- 084 unexpended, July 1st, 1883.

Two Pale Faces Run Off with the Cash Box—Arrest it One of the Suspects. For the last two days a band of Indians have boon encamped on a vacant lot near the fair grounds, They desived to give original entertainments, consisting of war hoops, war dances and horrible music. They promenaded the principal stroots every day advertising the affair. Consoquently large numbers of people, out of curiosity, if nothing more, visited the grounds. Shortly after 6 o'clock last evening two half-breeds” rode up to two officers on Farnam street and notified them that two men had run away with about $40 of their money. They had followed the fellows and saw them in the street car. Seeing they were pursued. they jumped off and ran away through a garden out of sight. The Indians gave a description of the thieves (or robbers) to the police. The night police force were notified before starting out on their beats. About ten o'clock ofticer Metz captured a young man auswering the description of one of the parties near the **Dine Musoum” on Douglas street, and with Captain O'Don- aghue conducted him to the station house. The fellow was about ‘twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, wmedium height and respectably dressed. He was flushed and much excited. His first re- mark was, *1've done nothing, and these men have arrested me.” A razor was quite prominent in his vest pocket. Juiler Gorman searched the prisoner and found €26 in bills and eighty cents in nickels. In his upper coat pocket was found three English walnut shells, well ‘nmun\hcd. M who was | present, said, **What are you doing with these?” The prisoner evinced some sur- prise at fist, but afterwards safd his partner gave them to him. The marshal said, “You're a thimble rigger.” “No, sir. 1 never wasarrestd before, and 1 swear (vaising his hand) that I never was behind a prison bar.” The prisoncer said that his satchel was at the Dime Museum, with a fellow named Duncan, and gave his name as John Hawkins. He was locked up and the officers went after his satchell return- ing in a_fow minutes. On opening it, nothing but a coat and underclothing were found A reporter of TaE Bee had an inter- view with the prisoner. He was a} par- ently very much dejected and anxious to be released, leaving his money aa securi- ty for his apj nee in court, this morn- ing. He said the name he gave was his his own, and that his home was in St. Paul, Minn. He came to this city about four weekn ago and went to board at the GreenTree house. He had no money, but about two weeks ago got a job as brakeman in the Union Pacific yard. He He worked eight days when he was dis- charged as there was no work. With his wages he had settled with the propri- etor of the hotel, and since thai had boarded around at different restaurants While here he formed the acquaintance of Duncan and a fellow named Carson. Yesterday the latter talked with one of the half-breed Indians who are vecustom- ed to give exhibitions and then take up a collection, that they could make more money by renting the fair grounds and chargingadmission than with a collection, They made arrangements to do so and Carson was to have 40 per cent. and the the Indians 66. They went tosee Ex- Mayor Boyd about the fair grounds, but he refused to rent it fearing that it would injure the track for the state fair, They then got the grounds mear by. Carson hired him (the prisoner) to work for one half or 20 per cent. which ho ac- copted.

Moulton, of the St. Bernard Commandery, Knights Templars, returned to-day from San Francisco where he went to complete arrangementa for the pilgrimage of St. Bernard to the twenty-second triennial conclave. Moul- ton reports that the most satisfactory arrangements for the entertainment of the commandery were made. St. Ber- nard Commandery with friends and ladies, the whole numbering over 300, leave Chicago August 10th on a special train over the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, composed entirely of palace coaches and hotel cars. he first stop will be at Kansas City, thence at Denver, where they remain a day, thence to Ogden and Salt two days, at Reno a delegation of fifty California Knights will meet the Ber- nards and escort them 350 miles to San Francisco, arriving on the 18th inst Moulton says any other knights or friends who go with us may be sure of a right royal welcome. The St. Bernards will take along the champion banner won from the Roper commandry, which be- long to the St. Bernards now, the time limit having passed without a challenge. 'he St. Bernards will enter the list at the triennial prize drill, in which five trophies are offered. The trophies are among the finest specimens of workmanship.

Moulton says the visit of the Knights to California ‘will be one continual round of hospitality and that reprosentatives will -be present from [nearly every commandery in the United States.

Prof. Aughey ougnt to have aguardian appointed to protect him from insulting Iis reputation for good sense and bring- ing himself as well as the high position he holds into ridicule. All friends of the university must blush with shame when they see this professor’s name bandied a- round in the newspapers attached to » certiticate of the properties ®f a quack nostrum. The professor in his kindness of heart doubtless intends thus only to do the proprietors of the compound a good turn, but how he could overlook the hu- miliation and disgrace he brings . upon the university, himself and the position he holds by this singular action is inex- plicalle. Siico writing the above we notice that the (maHA BEE yesterday devoted a long editorial to a vigorous denunciation of Prof. Aughey’s action in this nostrum sponsorship, The Bk being an Omaha institution is, as a matter of course, spite- ful and splenetic toward the state univer- sity, but the institution’ sfriends have no chance to defend it against the slanders of its numcrous enemies so long as itsattach- es furnish them so many opportunities for SUELAGAbIS ARk Tl e Eous HAsfEt a1 to copy Prof. Aughey'snostrum certificate which it does, to make out its case be- yond question. L Doing the Bridge. A new thing excites the interest of en- terprising boys—the Brooklyn Bridge. Their expeditions westward to huntbears and catamounts and fight the Indians,af- ter the manner ‘of dime novel heroes, have been discontinued in favor of doing the Brooklyn bridge. Two Wheeling boys—one ten, the other eleven years old, lately did it sucoessfully and were happy. One stole 860 from Ylis father's pocket and the other procured two suits of clothes, one for each, on his father's credit, and they started. They saw the bridge, walked across it several times and viewed it from all sides and ends. It took a day to doit, and then they returned to Jersey City to take the next train home, but they were detained by the police un- til some of the old folks came from Wheeling to take the truants home. e —— To Omaha Byclists. Blair Pilot. A couple of young ‘‘bloods” came up from Omaha (thirty miles) on bicycles one of the hottest days last week, leaving there about 9 o'clock a. m. and nrrivinfi here about 2 o'clock p. m. They tool dinner here¢ and started on their return trip. If either of those young fellows had been asked by his mother to saw and split a fow sticks of wood to bake & batch of bread, or cook his dinner with, the Pilot ventures the assertion that he would have declined in a most emphatic manner. And the chances are, that while they were making this trip their mothers were splitting wood to cook for them or heat with, water to wash their dirty clothes HUDS SMSAPARILLY pared extract of the best remedies of the vegetabloe kingdom known to medical scie ence as Alieralives, Blood Pusiders, Diuretics and , Buch us Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, Stillingia, Dandelion, Juniper Berries, Mandrake, Wild Cherry Bark and other selected roots, barks and herbs, A medioine, like anytilng else, can be fairly judged only by its results, We polut with satisfaction o the glorlous record Hood's Barsaparilla has eutered for itself upon the hearts of thousands of people in New England who have personally or indirectly been ro- Lieved of terrible sufferiug which all other remedies falled o reach, ‘ Isa carefully p o Moars. €. 1. oo & Co.: GentaTlease seud me PO A Yo pee o worked wondery In the “I o, W been troubled with sick he o or years.
