Several peti- tions were then read from the best busi- ness men in the city, requesting the council to ba slow in its action of accept- ing Mr. Creighton’s resignation. Mr. Anderson then moved to lay Mr. Creigh- ton's communication on the table. Mr. Kaufman then took the floor and aaid & great many thonght he was opposed to Mr. Creighton, but he was not, bat on the other hand Mr. Creighton was op- posed to him (Kaufman). He did not want to see Mr. Creighton resign and had atated this fact to many who had come to bim, Mr. Hascall next said he was opposed {o the acceptanca cf the resipnation. Creighton was a good executive officer and although he might be a little “thin skinned” he is the best man for tho place to-day. Mz. Leeder arose and acked who knows Mr, Creighton’s business best, Mr, Creigh ton himself or the council. The council had seen flt to whitewash him after he had seen it to kick out behindlike a cow. 1f he wanted to resign, accept his resig- nation, Mr. Ford then expressed his views in a few short remarks and was followed by Redfield who satd Crelghton was under obligations to the council as he had given his bond, $15,000 to serve in his pres- ent office and if it were not accepted he would have to go on with his duties. Mr. Behm said Creig] and had sentin his resignation in good faith and asked the couneil to vote upon it. When the matter came before the council he would vote to accept it. M. Furay snid he would, as he repre- sented a constituency in this city, vote against the rerignation. Mr. Creighton hud been educated to what he now is, and his services wero of great value to the city, The amendment was lost and the origigal motion was carried by a vote of vight to four. F¥rom J, W, Harrls and others, that Turner Hall, Buckingham theater and Adams' place, are reported disreputable houses, and asking that they be investi- gated and if found to be go, to have them suppressed. Mr. Ford eaid he was opposed to the committal of this communication, as there wero many other places much worse that those above mentioned, andato sin- glo these out was not right. Mr, Furay called upon him tormention them, and he would have these places listed with the others. Mr, Ford did not refer to any but spoke about the Sunday night dances in Bohemian town, and that many pros- titutes were now coming to Omaha from Des Moines. He afterwards referred to the the saloon on Capitol Avenue and Eleventh street Mr. Leeder then referred to the bad administration of justice in thia city, A man found on the streets with one drink too much is taken before the police judge and fined §13 65, while others who com- mit greater crimes go free.

The Beliefless Bob Tells What He Knows About “‘Orthodoxy."” A Fascinating Fusilade Fornenst Our Faith, The largest lecture audience ever as- sembled in the Boyd greeted the princo of orators and the master of Englishstyle, the Hon. Robert G. Ingersoll, last even- ing. The poople assombled there were the leading minds ot tho city and thoapplauso roturned to the orator's keen thrusts at orthodoxy was long and frequent. At twenty minutes to nino the speaker appeared upon the platform. Ho was groeted by prolonged and continued clap- ping of hands, and without any formal introduction began his lecture entitled “Orthodoxy.” MR, INGERSOLL'S LECTURE, Most people imagine that what they be- lieve is going to last forever, They think they have found the absolute truth, This isa world of perpetual change of birth and deaths of CORADLI AND COFFINS, Only a fow years ago the peoplo be- lieved in the supernatural. Ouly ashort time ago the astrologer existed, now in his place wa find tho astronomer,and the world has lost nothing by the change. There was a time when the prophet could read the leaves of the future. in his{stead we now have the philusophor who reads the things of the past, and the world has not lost by the exchange. The preacher will sooner or later be sup- planted by the teacher and the world Aftor passing the usual appropriation ordinance and the electric light ordinance the council adjourned.

This is a world of change: the planets are dy- ing, groater nations than ours have gone down to decay. Even language dies. On one side we sce the cradle of a word and on the other its cemetory. We all re- member the dear old doctor, the bleeder and blisterer, who took on the end of a lancet his patient to the vergs of eterni- ty and then spent his time in bringing him back. There is only cne thing that will keep the mind from thinking, and that is fear. Fear is THE JATLOR OF THE MIND, the bastile of tho soul. “I am,” said the epeaker, *‘ doing what I can to kill the jalor.” Religicn dies hard, but that is because intelligence is a creature of slow growth, One great reason why Protestantism does not die is because the preachers do not tell their doubts. ‘I wish,” said the orator, ‘* that ministers would tell their doubts. 1 think doubt is the bud of an idea, and let it blossom and it will fill your brain with the per- fume of sense. Doubts are the smartest things about you. They are the wings of the intellectual eagle; let her fly.” Ministers are taught to sit under the tree of knowledge and pluck off every green leaf to keep the tree dead. PROTESTANTISM DIES HARD, is dying of two things—softening of the brain and ossification of the heart. They begin to believe as as did of the dogma of hell,which he would fight as long as there was a flame, a coal and even as long as the ashes were warm. This doctrine has burned the world fora thousand years in- to a very hell. No good man or woman should give a dollar toward teaching this terrible end. There is enough trouble in thig world without borrowing from an- other. He had never talked with a minister about his religion who was not ashamed of it, A few years ago the Congregation- alists conluded that their creed needed a reviston, and some old superannuated ministers, upon the backs of whose ideas moss had grown, and from whose brains could be blown the dust of the middle ages, were appuinted to do the work. Mr. Ingorsoll here took up_ the | 850 All joy comes from the conscinusness of doing right. You cannot love your fel low man hecause you are commanded to love roses from the soullike pertume from the flower. According to the Bible (God stards over poor, weak, fallon man with a club and says, ‘“love me or I will knock you INTO HELL IN A MINUTRG' The speaker here took up the subjoct of miracles and discussed their attributes, *‘What is a miracle!” said the speaker, “it is something that never happened. Fraud is always a silont partner of a miracle, The new testament is as much worse than the old as bell is worse than slavery. In the old, when a man was dead his troubles had ended, but in the new they have {ult begun,” Ho then analyzed the threo miracles, tho conception of Christ, his erucifixion, and the resurrection, There is one thing worse than to be eternally lost, and that is to bo eternally saved without a heart for those who loved you. The best men this nation ever had are in hell. Franklin, Jeffor- son and Payne are there. The men who loosened tKo shackles from 4,000,000 souls are wearing their Jchains in hell. Diderot, who attempted to compile knowledge so that the peasant could be on an intelleotual level with the prince, has been in hell for more than 100 years crying for water? LINCOLN IS IN HELL, a fiond and the slave of God. He ob- jected to the bible because it denied human love. If there is to be a resur- rection, and he could not see those who had loved him here, he would say, “ Gabriel, let me alone.” He would rather be in hell with those he loved than in heaven without them. “In conclusion,” said the speaker, ““ we read that Orpheus went dowa into hell after Buridyce, where he played so beautifully with his harp that Sysephus stopped rolling the stone, and Tantalus ceased for the time to pursue the ever- flecing waters. The gods had promised him if he could GET HIS WIFE to the sunlight without looking back, she should again be his. After ropeated trials he abandcned his eflorts, and so truth isfcontinually slipping away from us, but sooner or later this fickle goddess will be brought to the sunlight, where it will remain forever.

When he arrived he found that ICaffe had taken refuge in the cellar of his house, and defied any one to get him out.

A Thief Enters General Lowe's Hougse and Surrenders at the End of a Revolver, Last night about 12:30 the slumbers of General Lowe wore disturbed by foot- falls in his dining-room, and the sound of dishes dropping upon tho floor, He rose from his bed quictly, and, in- forming his hirod man that something was wrong below, told him to stand by tho window of the dining-room on the outside. Mr. Lowe then went into the apartment where the noises were heard with pistol in hand. The room was dark and nobody was seen. Thinking some- ono might bo there ho commanded him to hold up his handsand the reply came from a man in the darkness that his hands were already up. Mr. Lowe then told him to open the window and get out. So soon as the burglar had put his head through the window he was seized by the hired man and’a desperate struggle en- sued, The burglar was finally secured hand and foot by the two men. The cries of the women who heard the encounter were heard by Policomen Bellamy and Whitmack on the corner of Dodge ana Sixteenth and by Officer Cormick in the police station, who ran to Mr. Lowe's as- sistance and afterward brought the burg- lar to the jail, where he gave the name of James Ruggan, The burglar is one of the tramp spe- cies, and when caught had on nothing but shirt and breeches. His face was bleeding considerably from cuta received in the struggle. Tho jailor says his face is familiar and that he has served a term for vagrancy in thd county jail. The burglar, to effect an entrance, had broken out a pane of glass, and unlocked the door from the inside. After entering he ralsed a window as a means of exit in numo will bo the snyonym of hono-ty and re- or, [Applause’] Wa believe, in Illinols, that the mautle of Governor Tilden has fallen, and rightly falle, and rests _gracefully upon b atni e Vot B rovee T OISR} [Ap- planse ] We believe that the last closing words of that_great lottor from our grand leader, whose brain is yet as cleas g o bell, though A mighty (iod has permi to bo palvicd and hix voice to be o Bst still— we lwliuvu that that utterance of his, that the cry_ of the democratic party this fall must and shull be “Reform,” ~ [Cries of *“Good!” “Good!” aud renowed applause], and we ha no doubt that Mr, Cleveland will give us re- form. Gentlemen, we are here to deliberate, I do not want to nominate Mr. Cleveland if we cannot e'ect him, They tell us we cannot. Factional fight comes and says he has enemies, Where does the fight come from? They say that A GREAT CHURCH will oppose him, on religious grounds, T know that church never 1t ity minister’s voice bo hoard in the pulpit. [Cheers.] And the cry that thut chorch will not t Mr. Cleve- Jand to be clocted is a sl er upon a church that has in hisjemploy some of its best and most noble standard bearers, They sy that the Irish will eut his throat, that they will kvife him.

L ——— Yesterday's Base ssall, Yestorday's afternoon’s closing game between the Union Pacifics and the Chi- cago Reserves was witnessed by about 300, The visitors presented Crosby and Depanger for thoir battery, and the Un- ion Pacifics Salisbury and Dugan. In the first inning the home nine mase three runs and whitewashed their opponents. The Chicagos were unable to overcome this lead but fought stub- bornly to the finish. In the fourth in- nig, Salisbury being unable to pitch longer, was replaced by McKelvey, who pitched the r«mainder of the game, in a most acceptable manuer, retiring Hillery on strikes in the fifth inning. Baudle played second to the finish, his place in right field wasfilled by Jamison. 1In the fifth Whitteley, in attempting to slide to first base, sprained his ankle and was re- placed by Carr. The gamo was almost remarkable for its heavy batting, The brilliant feature of the game, and the finest play ever wade on the ground, was Lee's running left-haud catch of Baudle's line ball to loft center.
