The Damnable Outrage mated—The Villians on Trial, LINCOLN LEAFLETS, POLITICAL, Special Correspondence of T BRE, Lixcory, March 16, 1884.—The poli- tical pot is boiling in the liveliest possi- ble manner in the state capital to-day, and the fact that the prohibitionists are going to take a prominent part in the spring municipal election makes matters 8till more interesting. The principsl «pflicials to be chosen this yearare a police judge and members of the city council. The republicans have already entered the present incumbents, Ben Cobb and D. G. Courtnay, not the oarsman of Union Springs, but the ‘‘roarsman” of the ring in the sacred precincis of Salt creek. Courtnay is now chairman of the county committee, and has to be rewarded for his services in securing the nomination of Ed Sizer clerk of the court and the termination of the Barr family’s career a3 officials in Lancaster. He is as indus- trious in political work asa bee on a blossom, sand if he goes into the cam- paign for himself with half the spirit he does for others, he will come out ahead sure. The Red Ribbon club, the Light Brigade of prohibition 1n Nebraska, in- tends to run Henry Hoagland for police judge. His campaign is in the hands of ¢‘Bishop” Shinner, the reformed livery stable keeper of Lincoln, and William Q'Shea the ‘‘Boston book binder.” lliam is a “‘red hot” Irish nationalist, g taken active part in the Fenian prising in 1865 and 1867 by being sctually on the ground, not firmn;( the Jremy with paper péllets of the brain, like 80 many Omaha Brian Brohns at a four thousand ‘mile range. O’'shea swears he will pull 'Oagland through, but I think when the sun goes down on election day, O'Shea’s lament will be “Ennery, 'Ennery veres yer 'auds?’ Who the Democrats will put up it is hard to say, but probably Doc Childs the well known pharmacist, at one time of Omaha, but now the Bar- tholdi statue of the Lancaster democracy. He is the dernier resort of the ‘“Bour- bons” in more ways than one. They are always willing to put him up forany- thing and everything. Talking of Childs reminds me that there is going to_be a regular knock-out- in-the-first-round contest here in the near future between the saloon keepers and the pharmacists. It will be DRUGS V8. DRAMS, and the contest will be as bitter as the liquids dispensed to a foolish patronage by both parties. You see there are eleven saloon keepers in Lincoln, and they are kept by the temperately inclined officials of '.E.il goodly city ug‘m the strict letter of the Slocumb law. They have to plank down their $1,000 at once in order to get ® license, must give the very best $5,000 bonds, must close at 10 o'clock pracisely every night, dare not open on Sundays, must keep their window cur- tains raised and use no screens or other obstructions, 8o that a person from the outside can see clear through their ex- tablishment as easily as one can look through a candidate's casual call on the eve of an election, and, in fact, as the temperance folk have ‘‘lookers-on in Vienna” all the tiwme, the saloon man’s lot is not a happy one by any means, Hence it is no wonder that he objects fo0 a person opening a drug store right next to him and under the pharmaceutical exception to the general provisions of the law sel- ling villainous whisky at all hours and to whom he pleases. Just think of Tom Kennard, the greatest secrotary of state since the days of Seward, running a pharmacy! Those deft and nimble fingers that have handled so many important public papers, and that Bismarck brain that has decided on so many questions of moment are now fooling around the mortar and pistil and engrossed with the manipulation of pills and patrons. The aaloon keepers and their friends will make it hot for the druggists here one of these days, every one of whom withver: few exceptions are violaiing the Slocuml| law every day and a hundred times on Sunday. There is no reason whatever why -they should escape unpunished, Here's where Skinner's Ribbon men should direct their guns and give the sa- loon men & rest for a while, A CAUSE UELEBRE. time young Abbott asked the parental consent. An aflirmative reply was given, “‘:mvided she answers my purpose,” which old Abbott explained meant pro- vided she could attend to his household aud dairy work. The young couple wore marrind and came here to live. Tt soon became evident toat the new daughter- in-law could not do the work, although the evidence showed she tried her ut- most to do so, and it was not to be won- dered at, because several able-bodied women had been hired for the same em- ployment and failed. Then commenced a most damnable conspiracy. The young girl was ordered io go home, and as the evidence produced on the trial showed if was arranged that she should be dis- graced, and in such a manner that in she ever applied for support or alimony from her cowardly young husband that she would be unable to get it under the statutes. There was a big, burly negro doing farm work at Abbott's and he was made a principal instrument in the devilish work. From the field he was breught to the house and placed in the society of the young wife as much as pos- sible. Finally matters culminated in the final outraging of the woman one morning just as she was packing her trunk to obey the oft rapent«i orders to go home, The negro, whose name was Murphy, threat- ened her with instant death if she should say anything about the matter, and he kept close by her until she was safely on the train on her way to Burlington. On arriving there she immediately informed her relatives of the outrage commit- ted upon her, and a brother came on here to investigato matters. He found that the diabolical outrage had in fact been committed by the negro, and that Abbott had undoubtedly employed him to do so, facts which were duly corrobo- rated on the two trials which grew out of the crime. The negro was duly tried, promptly convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for a number of years for rape. Old Abbott's case as an accessory, took up the attention of the court lest week, the jurly going out Friday night and being still outat this writing. For a long time they stood 11 to 1 for conviction, but a solitary vote will prob- ably defeat what, in the opinion of this entire community is justice in the strong- est meaning of the term. Abbott’s tes- timony in the last case differed material- ly from that given on the first trial. He said among other things that he was an eye witness of the criminal actions of Murphy and still he said nothing about it, nor did he move a hand to save his daughter’s disgrace. Then, again, he swore that Murphy told him all about it, and they laughed over the mat- ter. In fact the clearest proof of his having known all about the abuse of his irl was adduced. The cowardly sonand usband ran away as soon as the matter became public, and has not since turned up. His father has probably sent him to & variety show to learn morality. To make matters worse, the old reprobate could not content himself with the abuse of the girl here, but he wrote the vilest letters about her to herrelatives and friends in Burlington, and out of thishas grown a suit against him for slander, the damages beiughllid at $10,000. This is another of the cases occurring in this vicinity thal are surreptitiously kept from the public. Had it not been for the little News the matter would never have appeared in local print here; and even \vfian Murphy’s trial was in progress, the people did not recognizs or in fact know anything of the enormity of the crime. They do now, however, and I tell you Lincoln is no place to advocate Abbott's case now. e is a prominent member of the church, which has gone a great way in saving him from that pub- lic ostracism which is his due. He is moderately wealthy, and of course he is supposed to come into court with cleaner hands than the poor, honest laborer who may be accused of evil doing. The trial of R. C. Parrott, accused of embezzlement while in the cashier’s of- fice of the Burlington & Missouri railway company, is set for Wednesday. This is & clear case of the downfall of the dude, for Robert wanted to live like a lord and enjoy champagne dinners and sich on a nljnry that would not legitimately per- mit such extravagance. KENDALL'S KOMMENTS, The little brush of Tue Bee's wing in Saturday's edition brought Land Com- missioner Kendall in a card this morn- ing, notwithstanding the fact that he says he took a solemn resolution never to appear in public print in reply to com- ments on his official conduct.” "He says that he would like to have any editcr or lawyer point out a statute authorizing the collectjon of this compound interest. He is respectfully referred to Section 10, Article 1, Chapter 80, Pape 481, Com- i)ilsd Statutes of the state of Nebraska. f he cannot intepret its meaning in the type in which it printed there, why, 'Hr. BLE may possibly please the com- missioner by reproducing the section. Mr, Kendall, while stating tnat he and Attorney General Dillworth were of opin- ion that there was no law authorizing these collections, still the state kept on doing so because it was customary, and although the question was raised about two years ago, it has never been authori- tatively decided yet. If thestate has no ight to collect this compound interest, why has it been done in some cases and omitted in others? Is it honest to take a mi money when he is ignorant as to his rights under the law? Above all, is this question not of sufficient importance to have the attorney general's decision, either pro or con? ~—On the first of the coming month the lease held by Ed Churcn on the opera house expires, and there is a movement on foot in certain quarters to get some other party to take charge of it.

Cuicaco, March 16.—A sparring ex- hibition was given at the Natatorium in this city to.night, at which Mervine Thompson, the Cleveland man, was the attraction, being pitted against a local boxer named Brennock. Three thou- sand people were packed in the building, all that it would hold safely, to see Thompson. His appearance was greoted with some cheering, but the crowd guyed him a little after he had made a fow passes at his antagonist on the theory that he was no equal for Sullivan in spar- ring skill. He allowed Brennock to ad- minister a number of sounding blows, re- ceiving them good naturedly and only retaliated once, putting ina body blow which sent the young man against the ropes and compelled him to sit down to be fanned. When the fourth round end- ed Duncan. C. Ross announced he would match Thompson against John L. Salli- van or any other man for a glove or bare handed fight for $5,000. Pat Sheedy, a local sporting character, immediately atated he was authorized to match Sulli- van for $5,000 a side. Ross at first wanted to make the match for §2,500 a side, but finally conceded to make the match for 85,000 a side, and both men put up a deposit of $500 each for a fight t finish, within three months, either with or without gloves. The papers are to be signed next week- THE PRELIMINARY PALAVER, Special Dispatch to THE Bek. Cnicaco, March 16.—Duncan C.Ross, the backer of Mervine Thompson, of Cleveland, says in reply to John L, Sul- livan’s insinuation that the match is pro- posed merely as a bluff, or for a gate money affair, that he doesn’t want any, crowd or any gate money, and that if Sullivan or his backers will make a match for $5,000 a side, he (Ross) will be glad to have THE FIGHT IN A PRIVATE ROOM with only four or six men on each side present. 1n reply tolSullivan’s proposi- tion that the fight be under the Queens- bury rules, Ross says he is unwilling to make a match on these conditions; that his challenge is for the championship; that no championship match in the his- tory of the prize ring was ever fought under the Queensbury rules; that all he demands is the ordinary conditions—that is to say, A SQUARE STAND UP FIGHT, under the Eunglish prize ring rules. Ross would prefer naked fists, but if Sullivan 1nsists on it, rather than not get & match with him, he (Ross) is willing to have the fight be with small gloves. Ross continues: “I propose that Sullivan shall fight or take a back seat. I have remained over here all day in order to arrange this matter, neglecting my busi- ness.

BRUISERS ON A BARGK, New York, March 16.—A prize fight for 8500 was fought to-day on a barge which was towed out into East river to escape the police. The principals were Tom Hogsn snd Jim Barr, both from Green Point. Four rounds were fought. Both were severely punished, four of Barr's teeth being knocked out the first round, and in the fourth he was knocked senseless, Hogan was declared the win- ner. SULLIVAN'S REPLY, Los Axaries, Cal., March 16,—John L. Sullivan, in reply to the challenge from Mervine Thompson, of Cleveland, says he will fight him, under Marquis of Queensbury rules, for $5,000 a side, or any match which Sheedy can make with Ross. He says he believes Thompson wants a gate money affair, like that of Robinson in Ban Francisco.
