THE OwMAHA DALy BEE et FIFTEENTH YEAR. A TANDEM CANVASS A Picturesqne Campaigu in tte Wood- s'ock Borrngh in Eogland, Oxzonian Beanties Buttonholing for ths Candidates, The Slanghter ¢f London Ianocents for the Insurance Money—Com-~ ments on the Insanity Dodge, A PETTICOAT RALLY, THE CAMPAIGN OF CHURCHILL AND GRANT IN WOODSTOCK. Special Telegram to The Bek, New York, July 8,—The Sun's special from London says: The most picturesque canvasa for the parllamentary election that has been made for a long time is now in pro- gress in the tiny borough of Woodstock over the question whether Lord Randolph Church. ill, the new socretary for India, shall be re-elected or shall give way to Corrie Grant, a young lawger whom the liberals ssut down from Loudon to opposs him, It is a ladies’ battle on both sides, The campaiga was he- Tm by Lady Randolph Ohurchill, nee Miss ennie Jerome, Iast Siturday evening by driviog a tandem team through the main streeta of that picturesque old town with a skill and grace to ba expacted of the daughter of the founder of Jerome park. The hberals quickly resolved to meet their fair adversary on herown ground, and securod the services of Misses King and Adams, two 1ovely young gradvates from Oxford, The famous’ university city is only a few milcs from Woodstock, and Oxonian iofluence is strong in the latter, Thadelightful canvasa- ing of the lady graduates captured the popu- Jace, and the tories began to give way. Lady Churchill lost none of her courage and en- ergy, but she saw something must bo dome to effect the influence of the pretty girls from Oxford, and she summened reinforcements, She obtained two charming lieutenants, Liady Kvelyn and Lady Edith Carson, yotiug daughters of the earl of Low, and sent them forth to dazzlo the electors, The latter, getting more and sweetor hlan- dishmeats than they ever droamed of before, arein a dilemma as to which of their fair tuitors to favor. Grant is on the ground and is working night and day in his own intorest. The liberals say they are already sure of ths support of a sweeping mojority of 1,084 yoters on the registry list; the torics are nervous and imploring Lird Kandolph to show himself to the electors. Randy hes thus far proved cbdurate, and his inertness strengthena the report that he has bargained with his wife, ehe is to do all the work and have all the glory of his campaign. The re- sult will not make the slightest difference to the new secretary except as & matter of senti- ment, for it is nuderstood one of the sitting members from a strongly conservative constit- uency in_tho city ot Rasaitaall ready to resign in Lord Randolph's favor, if need be, and will be rewarded with that prefix of *sir,” which is dear to the heart of every city magis- teate in 1ogland, There has been unusual activity about tho foreign office during the past few days, and 1t is rumored tho marquis of Salisbury will have urprise o offer 10 parliament when it re- assembles next Monday. Quidnuncs are par- ticularly excited over the frequency of the visits of Count Karolyi, Austrian ambassador, and Waddington, French ambassador, THE VITAL STATISIICS OF LONDON show a fearful rate of mortality amiong in- sured infants. The books of the insurance companies show that deaths rats among in- fants who insured is much greater than the fannnl death’s rate for the same nges as pub- lished in the government reports. The latter Include, of course, both insured and unin- sured infants. Tfthe two classes could be separ- ated in the official reports so they could bs compared, it is believed it would be shown that the mortality among insured is 50 per cent greater than that among tha uninsured. 'These facts strengthen the suspicion into con- viction that many infants are deliberately murdered for the sake of the insurance ou their lives. Insurance companies which ac- cept risks on infants’ lives will insure none but healthy children and conseqently the mortality among them should naturally be less than among the general average of children, Some 1nsurance companies seem to accapt the conclusion that children murder is the cause of this anomolous condition of affairs compla- contly and only seek to secure their own pro- fits under the additional riek by increasing their premiums, This operates as a hardship upon the honost parents who insure their chil- dren’s lives from worthy motives of prudenca, The note of alarm has been sounded by the actuaries of more respectable insuranco com- panies and echoed by many physicians, It nas now been taken np by several medical and Jegal nowspapers, which are imploring patlia- ment to devise some remedy for this growing and horrible practi THE IN ITY DODGE. Tha recent number of the Laucet has rome comments on the result of the trial of Mras, Yeeult Dadley for shooting O’Donovan Rossa which differ widely from most of the com- ments of Koglish day journals. The latter have rejoiced that A convenientexcuso was found for acquittiog the woman, whoso only offanse was shooting an Liizh blatherskite, and have hava not questioned or cared whether sho was really ineane or not. Tho Lancet, on the other hand, decides, on calm review of all the evidence obtainable, that Mrs, Dudlay was quite sauo enough when she fired her shot to ba perfectly responsiblo for her act, and it deplores the growing tendoucy to regard the plea of insanity as an exouse for crime or & method to avert its punishment, 4 p. m,—1he eleciion in Woodstock to-day resulted in the return of Lord Randolph Charchill, Cyrus W, Fieldwill give al dioner in this city to-morrow - the Fourth —and among the romient gontlemen who will be present are Eoontor George ., Edmunds, Dr, Henry D, V. , and Professor Sir William Thompson, OMATIIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1885, NO. 13 shortly befora 9 o'slock this morning, and an- nounced his intention ot being dressed at once. This was done, and before 10 o'clock he was on the porch, Hs strolled on veranda, and then sat in the chair enjoying the bright sunshine and clear air, The gon- eral's movements wers firmer this morning and his strength seems greater than at the beginning of the week, Some of the gener- al's family this morning expressed the belief that he might live until autumn, Those near the patient feel not a little encouraged to-day Between 2 and § o'clock in the afternoon Gen, Grant waa wheeled on his chair _to the hotel, His appearance was the signal for » general rising and salute irom the guests on the veranda; which he returned briskly After being wheeled arourd the hotel he re- turned to the cottage. A BLARSIED BNGLISH LIE, UTR INDIAN OUTRAGES TRACED TO A BENSA- TIONAL RANCH SCHEME, Special Telegram to The Bek. WasHINGTON, July 8. —Adjt. Gen, Drum bas received & report from Gen, Augur, dated Fort Leavenworth, Kas,, June 26, in regard to the reported outbreak of Ute Indians in Colorado, Gen. Augur eays that Carlisle, from whom most of the sensational telegrams emanate, is agent of an Eoglish cattle syndi- cate, not one of whom, he ia informed, is an American citizen or intenda to be, He ia also informed that the syndicate does not own the land upon which its cattle range, and that it is public land. Gen. Angur incloses extracts from the Rocky Mountain Nows, . of Denver, which says that the stories about ~ the Uts out:ages, if mnot entirely without foundation,j are greatly ex- aggeiated. Possibly thers has been some troubloe, the general thinks, but there is every rearon to believe that it has been brought on by the cowboys, who have bean spoiling for a fight for eome time and; probably;resolved to shoot all the Indisns found away from the reservation. The report that whites and In- dians have been killed lacks confirmation, The Indian office has received no dispatehes from the agent at the Ute reservation in Col- orado, touching the threatened outbreak at that place, Commissioner Atkins is inclined to regard the publishad reports as grosa ex- aggerations of tho facis circulated in farther- ance of a schemo to drive the Ute Indians from the coveted rescrvation landa, The following telegram relative to the Ute Indiaps was receivedat tho war department this afternoon from Gen, Scofield, Gen, Augur telegraphs the following from Col, Bradley: ‘‘Col. Swain telegraphs that the chiefs promise not to make any more reprisals for the killing of the Uto family on the Dolores, He says full rations should ba iesued immediately to those In dians to prevent their laaving the reservation to bunt, In epite of the intention to mediate the necossity for feediug these Indians so as to provent them leaving their reservation is imperative, It is impossible to pravent trouble batween them and tho cowboys if they laave the reervation to hunt. Lx-Delegate Ouray, of Arizons, and Mr, Hughes, of that territory, called upon the commissioner of Indian affairs to- day to urge the disarming of the Indians of the San Car- los reservation in Arizona, They expressed the belicf that this mea-uro if sdopted would prevent the conflict that seemed to be im. pending between the Indians now on the reservation and the white settlers, Com- missioner Atkins made & requost and proposition that the cowboys also be dis- armed and then proceeded to expound his views upon tho Indian question at some length, He said he failed to see any reason why cowboys shou'd carry arms when Iudians were disarmed, and added that it was entirely improper for any person, white, black, or red. to be_permitted to ride around the country the proposed features of the dinner is to have telegraphic communication made with Wi vgton, and when the toast to the resident of the United States ia offered, to ve President Cloveland's answer traus- mitted to the guests seated at tho dinnor, GENERAL FORBIGN NEWS, A PARNELITE PRIEST BESTORED; Rouk, July 3,—The pope has received Father Murphy and restored him to his posi- tlon] from which howas removed for sup- porting the Parnelites.

The police captain askod the men for their shovels and on their replying that the foreman had locked them up, the polica commenced nsing their clubs and several of tho gas works employes wero terribly boaten, some having their heads split open, 0:30 A. >, —Under the protection of the en- tire reserve polica force of the city the six cars gent out by the West Division raitway suc ceeded in making their way into the busioess part of the city and encountered 1o opposi- tion beyond that mentioned at Hoyne strest, which proved not very eerious, Cara wore filled with policemen and in fact the entire thoroughfara is lined with policemen, and west of Ashland avenue no veh of any kind are allowed upon the street, The police have made already more than one hundred arrests of persons suspected of an inclination to impede the progress of the cara or who ro- fused to obay the injunction of the police to quit the thoroughfare, These were carted off rapidly in patrol wagens to the Dalice, atations.

The police, however, assummed the offensive and arrosted everybody makiog the first sign of desiriog to craate a disturbance. The fav- orite cry of on-lookers a3 the cars were pass iog appeared to be “rats,” but everybody indulged in the jeering ory and detected it was imme- diately placed under arrest. It was gener- ally understood that the police had orders to oot which made the crowd, if it had any' intention of becoming unruly to hesitate about atticking. ‘When the cars began their return trip Mayor Harrison appeared on the scene at the corner of Halsted and Madieo, on his gray charger, where he drew his horse to a standstill in_the middle of the street, and waving his hand to the crowd, began to make a speech. The polics_have only been compelled to make one serious rush so far at Hoyne ave nue, while clearing away the barricade erected there, the crowd became very noisy, and aggressive, A number of gas pipes, huge boulders, barrels, beer kegs and every avail- able sort of debris were uswed in ob:tructing the track. The applause became so graat that the newly employed drivers began to flse from the cars, and the strikers began to close upon them before the police ran to their defense and Captain Bonfield clubbed two of the strikers severly over the head. One of the injured men, Pat Conway, is eupposed to have had his skull crushed. Immediately after this incident Capt, Bonfield cried, “Shoot the first man that throws a ttone; that's the order,” There were scenes of ex- citement all along the route on both the trips made by the cars. Six men were sighted on a one-story blacksmith shop, wh appearanca was deemed threat- ening, and the police charged through the building, carrying them off to a moan, although they claimed to b merely spectators, Great crowds had gathered at various strast corners, but by simply making «a show the streets were cloared by the polico without using their clubs, At Leavit street, Lieutenant Laughlin, with about twenty men, made a detour on the pu trol wagons and surprised & lot of active sympathizers placing obstructions on the car tracks, Theso busy people, how- over, caught sight of the blue coats just in time to make their escape, Some excitement occurrad at the Desplaines street station, where the prisoners were locked up.

Some of the Crocked Work He Has Been Djing for Years, Went to Oanada Once Beforo—Six Months Ia Jail At Boston— More Attachments, Etc. Notleing the name of a Boston gentle- man on the Paxton hotel register yester- day whom the Bek reporter knew conld tell him something of the late L. L. Smith’s past career, an [nterview was eought and cbialned. The sum and sub. stance of this gentleman’s story ie, that ever aince Smith left home, when only 18 yeara of age, he has been playing the role of an expert trickster, and has more than once been the perpetrator of stupendcus fraude. Some years sgo he went to Atchlson, Kansas, with a heavy Boston firm backing him up, to open an {mmense boot and shoe house, but remained there only a fow months untll he collapsed to the tune of about $75,000, sold out and flew to the Domin- ion of Cauads. Through an Ingenlous plsy however, the young man was in- duced to vislt Datroit, where a detective arrested him. He was taken to Boston, lodged In jall and remalned there six monthe. The detective learned thatSmith was at Windsor, waiting for a woman to follow him from Atchison, and a bogus letter, purporting to have been rent by this woman, was mailed to Smith, asking him to meet her in De- troft. Eventnally Smith’s frlenda suc- ceeded in effecting a compromize with the Boston firm and got him released from jall. From Boston he went to Chicago and engsged, as has heretofore been stated, In the bucket-shop business and was very successfal, though it is pos- itively alleged that he carried on a skin game, belng with the celebrated Flem- fog and Moerism gang of crooks. It will be remembered that this man Fleming, with another scoudrel named Loring, were arrested about a year ago for abusing the United States maile, trled, convicted and eentenced to serve a term of three years each, In the penitentiary. Bat by some manipulation unknown to any but thoss engaged In it, they were pardoned before belng transferred to the peuiten- tiary. When this trouble came up Smith opened a joint of his own at 84 La Salle street under the firm name of Johnson & Co. While there Smith recelved Iarge consignments of flour and graln from the country, which he sold and forgot to pay for. The firm of Johnson & Oo., falled, after which Smith went in with F, W, Pallan & Co., and later with another outfit on River street whose sign read H. P. French & Co. All thls tlme he was amassing quite a large pile of ill goiten galns, The mills of Gordon, Baker & Co,, at St. Louis, were worked for a $7,000 steal which they trled to recover by bringing sult in the courts but failed to get anything, About that time Smith qult operatlons there and came to Omaha, He had a female companicn with him here, but not more than two or three people in the town knew it, She left Omaha on Tnursday before Smith went, and it issald that the money he bagged, or the moat of It at least, was carried away by her. This woman was of small stature, pretty face, dark eyes, lack halr, and attractive, styllsh figure. They were never seen together on the street. She lived In a secluded part of the clty. and was very quiet In all of her movements, Attachments on the stock of goods which Smith turoed over to Haiman Lowy & Co. here continue to come in, The following were put on yesterday: Julius Stein & Co., Chicago. $ 226.50 Mauhattan Cloak and Suit Co., N, Y, 1,750 00 Miller & Leemee, St. Louis 15,48 Samuel Bunting & Sons Co + 1,095.00 Wright, Leas & Co. 1,029.60 The Manhattan Cloak and Saft com- pany also served on H.
