(LD STIFFS PAY FOR STUDY How a Btudent at the State Medical School Mot His Tuition Bill, AN OLD GHOUL STORY REVIVED, Motion for a New Trial in the Cole- Miller Case—A Pointer on Smith's Latest Movements—Capi- tal Mention, 1FROM TIE BEE'S LINCOLN BURBAU.| Lincoln people will readily recall the excitement aitendant upon the discovery of a stolen corpse last fall, and the inves- tigation which followed, during wlich the instructors and professorsof the med- ieal school swore they knew nothing of how the subject got there. The Bek now has good reason to believe that the body was procured by astudent at the school in pursuance of a contract with the - ulty by which he was to furnish subject in payment for his tuition. On the morn- ing after the discovery this student, who for the present shall be nameless, told two or three intimate friends that he and n brother searcher after anatomical knowledge had put the body in the room, and described the whole transaction. Two days before, he said, having heard that an inmate of the hospital for the in- sane had died and was buried in the cem- tery attached to the mstitution, they bor- rowed a team of horses and drove out there. Not knowing the exact location of the grave they inquired of an attend- ant, and on bein, ked what they want- ed {o know for, replied they weré tomb- stone agents, This quicted the attend- ant, and the student and his partner, hav- ing in their mind’s eye marked the spot, came back to town. ~Two days later they got a horse andwagon, and loading in the necessary tools rted out about 10 o'clock at night. shed th etery all right, but opened the grave, and were afr it they had misdirected. l"inull_Y they struck the it one, and when the box was reached the student’s accomplice was so over- rome by the odor that he near pinted, and’ was revived only by the uso of stimulants. The body was brought to town, and driven up to the front of the dissecting room on enth street. There one of the ghouls took it \is back and was carrying it up the s on the outside of the building when it slipped out of his %r sp and rolled down to the sidewalk, T 0 d an old man living there, who window and looking down on the horrible scene, fell back paralyzed with fear. Together the student and his assist: boosted the corpse up the st: and de- posited it in the room, well ied with iheir night's work. The above is in bricf the story as told by one of the participants in the affair. Being warned by his friends to keep still about it he beeame apprehensive, and to all questions bearing on the case after- ward entered a general denial. The fact nains, however, that on the night the grave was robbed this student and another man were seen by a lady to load some_shovels in_n wagon, and subsec- guently he exhibited to various people a piece of human scalp which he said w l: n from the same corpse. The Br [nformant has further signified h willingness, if necessary, to make aflidavit to the matter as related. A POINTER ON SMITH. The counsel for the defendants in the Cole vs Miller case have filed a motion for a new trial, which will probably be Hghcd by Fndia Diibtys Aoy aliope misconduct on the lp:u‘t of the lfYn' y, and various errors in the trial, which they think entitle them to a ncw hearing. In connection with this litigation a number of stories relative to the late lamented Loyal L. Smith, and his flight from Omaha, have come to light. One of the most recent and best is that told by Mr. Rhodes, the financial agent for A. S. (in‘;e & Co., of Chicago, who was attending the trial as a witness. Mr. Rhodes says that before going to Omaha Smith had'a love affair with a sporting woman at Albany, N, a remarkably handsome brunette, of rich and eminently respectable family. After Smith had plu his dupes and gone over into Canada to join the innumerable throng, he sent for this woman, who met him at Toronto, when they were married. Both are Promscd}y anxious to rveform and lead good lives. To do this they think it nocessary to again become resi- dents of 'the United States, or *“God’s country,” so to speak, the moral atmos- phere “of the Dominion, laden as it with the breath of 80 many crooked ex- iles, not being conduciye to_any lasting desire in the right direction.” But the army of merchants whom Smith deluded into the belief that he was the Stewart of the west, stand ready to cry, “( us our money, or go to jail!” And so Smith and his wife Jinger on the other side, while an attorney at Albany, acting for Mrs, Smith’s family, is endeavoring to make a settlement “with the creditors, The negotintions were begun a short time ago, and have not progressed much yet, most of those interested wishing to await the result of the trial before naming any basis of settlement. f the Vefendants won, Smith stock would up. If they lost, it would go down, and twenty-five cents on ehe dollar would be an objoct, where in the former instance three times tha amount would not be taken, The de- fendants have been beaten, but the prin- cipal ones are still full of fight, and will not listen to terms of compromise until the case is fought to and determined by the courts of last resort. Mr. Rhodes, in figuring up Smith's indehtedness, snid it was much larger than the record shows. Attachments to the - gaount of $125,000 were placed on the stock, and it is ests- mated that claims footing up $45,000 more were held by parties who realized that they were too late to protect them- selves, and didn’t want the world to know that they had been taken in and done for, BRIEF MENTION, ‘I'wo_young men, ar \r\'unl in cowboy “togs," and trying to act fike tough men, sted by Officers Fow turday night.

A party of Union Pacific oflicials took a run from Omaha to Lincoln Friday after- noon to test the working of the Boyer gpeed recorder, a new velocimeter which is said by railway men to “fill a long felt want.”” The machine consists of alog chain running from one of the axles to an apparatus in the ear which records on a ulri‘p of paper the number of miles traveled. The paper is ruled into spaces representing various periods and being kept in motion, the recording pencil, shows accurately the rate at which the train is moving. 1t will very likely be adopted on the Union Pacific.

At 9 o'clock Si#turtay morning Officer Matza was summoneéd to the corner of Sixteenth and Mason streets, by the startling news that a woman living in that neighborhood was trying to strangle her husband. He hastened to the place, and was confronted at the door by a woman, who, as 8oon as he showed ?\is face in the house, Tushed at him with a butcher knife and fork in her hands, uttering demoniaeal yells, as she made the onsiaught. Matza bravely refused to back out, but after a hard struggle suc- cecded in getting the knife and fork from the woman. He held her until assistance came, when she was placed in the patrol wagon,along with her husband and year- old baby. The woman who gave the name of Mrs, Heintz_was at once arraigned before Judge Stenberg and questioned, through an interpreter, as she could not speak a word of English. She denied having tried to kill her husband, although she acknowledged that she wa i cause he did not proy L for her and her child, Heintz, who is a cobbler by trade, said that he had been out of work for some time, and had had nothing to_eat for days, except what the Woman's Christian association had given him.

Philndcl&lhla Times: The late John B. Gough told a story as well in private as in public. The following are r bered among some of the experiences he used to relate. “On one occasion,” he aid, I had made an_appomtment in a 1town in Massachusetts and rode everal miles to fill On arriving I found no one to receive me. I asked a middle-aged rustic if he could tell me where Icould find the president of the temperance societ ‘I reckon I'm him’, he replied,laconi- ally. “¥Ah! well, my name is Gough, I said. “*‘Wall, I calkilate it's about time to skin in.’ “In we went and I'sat in a_pew until he came to_me and said: T guess it's time to begin.’ “‘Is there anyone to offer prayer,’I asked. **‘No; the parson’s away.’ **‘Is there no deacon?' ‘I *speet I'm deacon.” « ‘Well, can’t you pray?’ “‘No; I reckon I mever speak in meetin’.’ “As I passed into the pulpit he beneath it and ealled out to the audi ‘Mr. Gough is in de desk an’ he's a-gwine to lectur'.! “I proceeded to ‘lectur’ as well as I could, and when I had finished and taken my seat at the back of thuplatform my agricultural friend called out from be- low: *We will now pureced to take up a collection for the benefit of the lectoorer.’ He then ‘purcesded’ to pass his hat around among the people, who had be- gun to rapidly Teave the church as soon as they heard the ominous word collec- tion. “When he had completed this task he dumrcxl upon the table in front of the pulpit the contents of his tile, and, shuk- ing the lining, said to me: ‘Thar! That ‘ere 15 all fur you. Iain’t a-gwine to take nothin' out for the lights." “The amount did not excced $1.50. “*T don't want it,’ 1 said. “‘Wall, I swaw!
