2 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, ' TUESDAY. APRIL 13, 1836. THEY WILL INCORPORATE. The "Omaba Manufacturers'’ Trust Oom- pany"” Materialized, BUSINESS MEN IN SESSION. Articles of Incorporation Adopted By the Board of Trade and Busi- ness Men Last Night—Cap- ture of Larcenists, Business Mens' Meeting. Anadjourned meeting of the board of trade was held last night, the principal object being to meet business men and capitalists of this city and confer with them as to the advisability of organizing a stock company to assist in building up the manufacturing interests of Omaha Although not a large number were pres- ent, those there were composed of men who are well known as being greatly in- terested in the welfare and advancement of the city. The articles of incorporation submitted at the last meeting, although having been revised by legal authority, were laid aside, and a new set submitted and approved. The aflidayit plan of voting was taken up, and new plans proposed, but nothing was done beside showing that it was a system detrimental to the interests of law. and that the present system should be abolished. Mr. C. E. Mayne, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to have the articles of incorporation revised, reported that the; had attended to that duty, and the cler! read them as corrected. Mr. E. Rosewater here arose and stated that on first thought he had been favor- ably impressed with the idea of organi ing a stock company for the purpose of aiding manufacturers who desired to comé to Omaha, in loaning them money and furnishing property on which to build works. *‘But,” said he, ‘‘on more mature consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the incorporation articles submitted to this board last week are im- practicable. Should such a stock com- pany be organiz h stockholder would not only be responsible for his own stock, but if this company should at any time (and this is undoubtedly what they would do) invest in the stock of any other company, they would also be liable for the losses of that company. Now, you know that many people would come to Omaha, should such a scheme be carried out, to start factory projects. Some would be perfectly feasible and successful; others might fail. Since the last meeting I have considered a plan that would be mo Y ticable than the ono proposed by M ne. 1 have drawn up articles of incorporation for a company to be called the “*Omaha Man- ufacturers’ Trust Company,” which pro- vides a certain amount_of ' money sub- seribed be used in fostering manufictur, The main point in this ation of atrust comparn it will be to solicit, reci and convey lands which property owners may desir to donate as a bonus to parties who will establish mills and factories in Omaha The owner may designate the partic- ular manufaciory he desire encourag or ° he may it optio with the company to choose what "‘CY deem most desirable. The company will 20 into no partnership with any one, but will only act as trustee. The capital raised will bo nominal, The company will cn\YIo some man competent to complle nltxc facts with regard to our resources and advantages as a manfacturing center, and describe the various lots and lands which f fered as a bonus to factories, mills, ete. We shall also want to employ a good lawyer to' invostigate titlos, druw ‘con- tracts and papers and make legal inquiry into the financial condition of parties who may apply for substantial aid. The outlay need not excced %3,000 a year. There is no risk to stockholders in such a company. The trust company will ply convey lands which may’ be offered as a bonus and raise money at low inter- est for manufacturers who need finaneial aid. An enterprising man coming to Omaha, and wishing to start into busi- ness, but not having suflicient capital becomes embarrassed and goos away, be. cause he cannot borrow money at a low enough rate of interest. Now, my plan is that we hetp such men by procuring loans at such a rate of interest as wi ake 1t advantageous to them. This any will nave for directors seven men, good, capable business men, whom we can trust implicitly. They can keep a correspondence with e n capita ists, and by exercise of proper disci tion can readily ascertain who and who is mnot to Dbe assisted. To be sure no person can be directly benefitted by becoming a member of the company, but the whole city of Omaha will derive material benefit in the end, As my plan scems to cover the ground intended by the other and remedies the errors in that, it secms to me more feasible.” The following are the articles of incor- leave is poratio Articles of Incorporation of the Omaha Mantfacturers’ Trust Company. THE STAT County AW The undersigned selves together and dec with our associates and su shall be a corporation, u and by virtue of the statutes of the stato of Nebraska, by the nume and style of the Omaha Manufac- turers’ Trust company, ARTICLE IT, ‘Tho prineipal place for the transaction of the business of said corporation shall be in the ity of Om: the county of Douglas and state of Nebraska.

W that possibly ‘it would be better to charge more than $25 for each share, but after some argument it was decided that the article was as nearly correct as possible, and by unanimous vote the members approved the new ones. The question of allowing people to yote on an aflidavit_was spoken of by Mr, Gray. He said thatit wasa very bad practice. Last year the affidavit plan was irregulrrly carried on, and this year it was almost, if not quite as bad. There were many illegal votes cast, and he stated that he had witnessed the ballot box grossly, outragoously cheated, o thought a revision should be made of the law. The question was argued at length. Mr. Gray suggestedas a good way to get out of the difficulty that the judges, or even the two contending parties, agree to a set of questions to be asked of and properly answered by an apolicant to vote without having regis- tered. After some little other work the meot- ing adjourned. SELEOT KNIGHTS, Institution of Omaha Legion No. 6, A.0. U. W. On Saturday, April 10, 1886, Deputy Grand Commander A.

The W. C. T. U. Backingham hall was the scene of a rousing meeting Saturday night, it being the regular Reform club entertainment. A large aundience was present of both ladies and gentlemen. After reading of scripture and prayer the president of the club introduced Mr. Powell as the first speaker, who addressed ihe audience in well chosen words of ad- vice and encouragement, urging all the young men to join the Reform club and work with the W. C. T. U. in the grand fight for the home. His remarks were listened to with close attention. Mr. C. J. Holt, who was present by invitation of the club, followed, giving an account of the rapid advance of the blue ribbon army in the different parts of the state in which he had worked as organizer for the W. C. T. U. during the past months, The Reform club has been a success, and has been the means of the overthrow of the saloon power in many _towns in the state at the late elec . The temperance people of the state are looking to the Omaha Reform club for grand things in the temperance work this year. Lhe in- jury to the cause could not be estimated should the work stop here at the Buck- ingham. ~ Mr. Holt paid a deserved tribute to the press of Omaha for tho liberal space that had been giyen to re- ports of the temperance work done by the W. C. T, U. in the city, and the great good which has been accomplished thero- by, the reports being copied not only by the press of our own state but of others. Mr. F. A. Proctor then gave a recitation, the meeting closin{g with a_speech by Judge Edmund Bartlett, during the course of whose remarks a number came forward and signed the pledge. A Robbery Frustrated. Officers Matza and Whalen arrested James Kelly, a suspicious character, Sun- day at about 8:30. It scems that Kelly, who has been in Omaha for some time living off his wits, had, Saturday, in- duced a young bootblack named George Abel, to go in with him on a schemo to rob Annie Wilson’s house, on Douglas street. The plan was this: Last even- ing atabout8 or half past, the two were to go to the house and get in the back yard, where Kelly was to open & window and assist young~ Abel o gain an en- trance. Then, while the boy was “going through” the house, Kelly was to stand guard on the outside, and take the stolen goods that the boy would hand out, Abel seemed perfectly delighted, and made Kelly think he had_canght a bonanza, sure.” As soon as Kelly left, however, the boy huntedup a_policeman v he whole snap. He was told to acquiesce fully in the plans and allow himself to be "arrested. He did this, and Sunday night at the hour named, on getting into the back yard, Kelly was dumbfounded by the two policeman tell- ing him his “name was Dennis” this trip. He was tocked up. The boy was also taken to the station-house, but was not locked up, being kept merely as a witness. Kelley was found guilty in police conrt yesterdyn and sentenced to thirty ys imprisonment, and to : fine ot ) and costs. He tried to deny having formed any plot to rob the Wilson man- sion, but upon cross-examination broke down completel Violating the Sabbath. Sunday afternoon Lena Rivers, one of the demi-monde inmates of Nelhie King’s house on - Capitol avenue, went out to have a good time:—While a she met .o commeéreial 'tratelér, whoso name, however, could not be learned, and together they started out for a buggy ride, stopping at every sgloon to imbibe more ‘red lickker.” At about 8 o'clock that night they were both decidedly in a you-so’’ condition, and while a short way out of town the team became frightened and ran away. The man had no confrol over the animals, and they stopped suddenly against a board fence. Both occupants of the buggy were thrown out, Lena getting decidedly the worst o f it. Rumors were rife that she was gilled, but investigation brought out the fact that she was not seriously hurt, although terribly bruised. Nothing is known about the results on the man, as he imn tely left. The woman was bronght home and a doctor ealled. Her face is terribly scratel and it will be some time before ill desire to paint Omal y- other color. None of her friends knew the fellow or how she got acquainted with him, but think that while out, they met, and being of convivial natures, determined to sce the hant together. When brought home unconscious, and nothing could be learned of her about the matter. Sent to the “Pen."

Mr. Bitldr Conduots Another Suc- opssful Meeting. | pe— A CALM APPEAL TO INTELLECT. Nearly 1,500 Péople Gathered in tho Exposition Baflding to Respond to the Evanjelist's Eloquent and Fervid Appeals. “Redeeming sonls from sin,” “Heed and your souls shall live,” read a huge white banner stretched upon the cross beams ot the exposition building last night. “‘Sing ‘All hail the power of Jesus’ name’,” said Rev. Mr. McKaig, as he looked at the quotation. Nearly 1,500 people were prosent, em- bracing all sorts and conditions of men, Old men and boys were seated side by side, protty girls cast sly glances at the handsome young men ensconced at their side. Religiously inclined women sat in rapt attention drinking in every word spoken, and crying amen at every pleas- ing expression. Some came for curiosity, some for pleasure and some from a sense of duty. 1t is an indubitable fact, however, if thoughts can be read in countenances, that all present went away with better and more exalted feelings than they had before the meeting began. The stage, which was placed in the south part of the hall, was well filled with ministers of nearly all denominations who did their utmost both by prayer and exhortation to stir up the emotions of the audience. The choir, which was placed behind the row of clergyman, was superfluous, as the people present grere intont uport singing, which thoy did in the most hearty manner. “The Lily of the Valley” called forth their efforts. “It makes no difference,’” saud Mr. Bit- ler, “whether you know the words or not, We don't want words, its melody and volume that we are looking for.” He started the hymn to the air of o well known plantation song and the refrain was taken upin such a hoarty manner as to make the building ring. “We've got three workers here from Lincoln" said Mr. Bitler, “and will twenty-five moro on Wednesd; asking for the usual collection the ovangelist thanked the Lord for the money that had been contributed but did not deem it necessary to descend from first causes to immediate agents, and express his gratitude to the real giver: A few minutes of silent prayer, when every head was bowed, was then hid and (‘Dnclmlt'(l ith a fervent amen from “God has put bis stamp est Brother Bitler. on this work,” said the speaker, ‘‘and its imprint can plainly be seen.” In speak- ing of Sam Jones, e said that in Chica- o the battle ljad flready been prepared for ‘that manof God,’ but that Omaha could be congratulpted on the success of the meetings being held. He said that he was not afraid. of the ministerial breth- ren upon the platférm. He did not mean to state that it'svas because their functions were purely thinisterial, but his remark was open to that cpnstruction. *‘Jesus only?! were the words which he used us_groundwerk upon which he built up his sermon. His words were carnest and fervid, I many men,”’ said he, *‘the &himélis getting the better of the angle of théfr being.” “A manmay be sick of sin and yet stop at some~'of the ordinances without having his heart made loyal to LGod,” were the words with which he condemned the religious formalists. have seen men,” he continued, ‘“‘carried away by floods of wickedness and for whom there seemed to be no hope, completly saved by the grace of Go He said that “men used Ingersallism to stifle the pangs of their consciences so that they could enjoy their debauchery and revelry to the fullest extent. He mentioned & man who used to be in the habit of getting up at daylight for the sake of gotting imto the saloons that opencd the carfiest, and who to-have four or five drinks of whi before he could eat his breakfast. ‘““The lash of the devil,’’ continued the speaker,*‘was not a scourgze powerful enough to ' cause his complete ruin. By God's help he over- came his fatal appetite and became a sober, industrious man. How licen- tiousness, like an awful storm, is sweep ing over the country,” continued he, speaking of another great evil. “God’s ace can save us from our :\p}\elil 3 and 1s the only thing that can. Human resolutions are too weak to stand against the frailties of human nature.” Mr. Bitle appeal to the audience to accept the sublime tenets of Christianity was made in an eloquent manner, and was listened to with great attention. He alled upon all Christians to their feet, and out two- of the audience left Those who desired to be Chris- ns were then ealled upon to aris about twenty responded to the invitation. Mr. Bitler madé no e verts by appealing to the hearts or emo- tions of theaudience. He said he wanted the people to act with deliberation and calmly ohose whather. thoy would bo on sod's side or against him.” The converts wero then invited to take places in the front row of seats. Two pretry little girls about five years old were the first to respond. A young man, with te in his' eyes, next came forward, accom- panied by a_friend who knelt by his side in silent prayer. This example encour- aged others, and while the cong sung “The Glorious kountain,” the of seats he carly filled. The min- - d from the platform and indiyid pleaded with the conyerts. Their cfforts met with hearty responses, and the meeting one of the most successtul which the evangelist has cver held W LAW AND ORDER. The League Takes a Hand in Licgpse® Question, The Law andOrder League filed-a doe- ument with the] lidbnee board Saturday evening denounoing the way thatlicenses have been grantod saloon-keepers in the past. They saycthat it is not in accor- dance with &% fihd order that non- property owners should be taken as bondsmen for i$aloén-keepers, and wish an investigatjon ”ud revision of this practice. They say:’ The league wotldfurther represent that herctofore it had Berw customary for bonds- wen to be on more than one bond—a plain Yiolation of lay wihich should bo - in the future. 1% Uil we call especial tion and request that an examinatio made of bondsmen produced by applicants ense. interests of our citizens demand that le of intoxicating liquors should be coufined to reputable business men ana not usted to lawless, reckless individuais who sceek to secure license by wisrepresentations, perjury and violation of law, ~ Your honor- able board has full control in the premises and a fair regard for the good nameand pros- erity of Omaha demands careful and ‘con- selentious action on your part. Nothing less than this will satisty our law ablding citizens or the large business interests which this league represents. Al Three in Jail, “‘Mrs. Murtagh, Michael McCabe, lar- ceny,"” is a register on the police book for last night. It scems that Mrs. Mur- tagh was chief laundrywoman at the Millard & short time .ago. Somé few weeks ago McUabe, who s her brother, was night steward at the same hotel. They have bad some family troubles the lately, as McCabe could not get along with Mr. Murtagh, the woman's hus- band. On Saturday Murtagh had Me- Cabe arrested, but his sister got him out. Then the two causod Murtagh's arrost last night. This made him mad, and he told the police that his wife and McCabe had stolen a lot of things from the Mil- lard. A search of the house revealed a large amount of stolen goods, such as shirts, pillow-cages, dresses, silver knives and forl ete., aggregating, it is esti- mated, §200 worth. The woman and her brother were arrested, and the trio will have a chance to plead to-morrow before Judge Stenberg. THE LATE OTION. The Battlo and Its Results Pointed Out by “A Workingman." To the Editor: 1In the editorial columns of Saturday's BE is an article headed “Boyd and Bechel.”” On this subject I wish to say a fow words. We have been told by the Herald that the democratio party failed to elect their candidatesin the interest of good government. Mr. Boyd failed to receive the indorsement of law abiding citizens at the polls for the rea- son that he failed in his pledges and promises of a year ago, when he pledged himself to handle the interests of this city as if they were his own. The eciti- zens' nomination for mayor a year ago was a failure and a disappointment, and will have to be admitted as such on all sides, even by its most sanguine friends. The action ot Mr. Boyd in t ing to blackball and rob an honest man of his character when he could not re- move him from office for no other reason only that he was an offensive partisan, and he could not use him as a tool, has called forth the condemnation of all good citizens. It called into life the Law and Order league, which to a man was bound to support the marshal in the perform- ance of his duty. Tom Cummings has been the most faithful and honest man in this position that ever held the oftice in the history of this city, and he has the support and good will and respect of all law-abiding cisizens. A word, now, regard to Mr. Bechel? He has been a firm friend and adyocate of the marshal, henco the opposition of Mr. Boyd to him. Mr. Bechel has been faithful'in the discharge of his duties in the past, and he will be faithful to the trust reposed in him in the future, doing his duty without fear or favor; and he rec uf the indorsement at the polls that he richly deserved. The writer does not think that Mr. Goodman will allow himself to be made a cat's-paw to drag the Boyd-Miller chestnuts out of the fire. He has too much good common sense for that, His record in the council during the last y speaks for itself, and he will be true to his principles and party, and also to the men who elected him and intrusted their honor to_his keeping. In regard to the newly clected republican members of the council, Mr. Kasper needs no introduction from me to the citizens of this city. He is well and orably known as a faithful and_eflic officer while a_membor of the police force, and he will be a faithful and efli- cient' member of the city council, per- forming his _duties fearlessly and un- flinchingly. Mr. Cheney has grown to manhood among the boys of the Union Pacific shops; he is a young man of sterl- ing qualities, honest, sober and tempe! ate, loved and respected by all who know him. Heisaman who™ cannot be made a tool of under any circ. umstances whateves, an his olection was a compliment to himself and his friends, and a proud victory for the'republicans of the Fifth ward.” He will be an honor to his party in the council. The member from the Sixth ward, Mr. Manville, is an honor- able and réspected citizen and a repre- sentative working man. He has been our assessor for several years—honest and faithfnl in the discharge of his_duties, treating rich and poor nlike. The dorsement he received at the polls s tor itself. The cowardly action of paid loafers calling themselves m ers of the Plasterers’ union in tr, ing to down him at the polls called forth the indignation of the honest worki men of the ‘d and rec i rebuke. Idon’t think tl Tlicse are'the same men who, a yea as the hi s of a certain into a workingman’s convention as d gates and made all the efforts that lai power to prevent that body from ex- ing itself or making a choice. Th Z men of the sixth w disgusted with the action of these dis fellows and we would the Plasterers’ union that h ter as Boyd factor it would be well for them to keep tnei 1t home, for the whole thing wa city wish to return thanks to John B Furay and his associates in the council who stood by their prineiples, and we will not forget them inthe near futur We are happy to think that the enacted in the old council will not be re- peated in the new, and we sincerely hope that harmony and good feeling will 1. A WORKINGIAN. ey Last Meoting. The old city council held its last meet- ing at the usual time and place last night. The only business transacted was the ofli- cial canvassing of the vote east at the last municipal election.

Meeting of the Irish National League —Views of the Speakors, Tho above organization was called to order Sunday afternoon in Cunning- ham hall, on Thirteenth street, by Pres- ident pro tem E. D. Brennan., Very fow were present, it being such a beautiful day that people seemed to prefer to be out of doors instead of there. After some preliminary business, speeches were in order. Mr. Moriarty spoke at length on the 1rish question and the vie- tory now almost won. He said: “Things are now transpiring in England that give us hope of better days for the Irish and Ireland. Only a few days ago Mr. Gladstone, ‘that grand old man,’ as he is called, introduced in the British parlia- ment a bill providing that Ireland shall have a parliament of her own—made up of Irishmen, and that they shall make laws goyerning all that 1s Irish in its na- ture. The introduction of this measure to which I have just alluded— 1 say 1t again, a parliament for the Irish, with power to regulate the af- fales of Trolandets a great step toward doing what all of us have been trying to do these many years, oven should it not pass. It is more than we could hope for. It is the lrish sentiment of not only the poulple of Ireland, but America, where perhaps there is not a man through whoso biood llows not some little pure, heaven-beloyed Irish blood, that has i scoms to be getting a strong foothold in England, so strong that Gladstone’s bill is - more than likely to pass. I do not believe that Gladstone would have presented the bill had he not been sure that it would pass. The result, lhowever, cannot_be forcast. There may be objectionable foatures in the bill, but taken as an entirety, is a God-send to Ireland and lIrish people. But do not forget one thing. And that is if this bill does pass it will be through the efforts of our dard bearer—Parnell. He has stated that he believes it will confer sub- stantial benefits to Ireland, Ho has gone 80 as to state in the British parliament that with a few clauses stricken out the bill will have the unanimous support of of Ircland. Isay that it is the best thing that could pass for our people.’’ Mr, Larkin then made a short address, of which the following is a synopsis: ‘1 am not prepared to make aspeech to-day. I am fecling to unwell, But were 1 sick in bed, without the power to moye my hands, 1 would raise my voice in t Eorb of Ireland. There is one cauty about our fight. It is not Catholi 1t is mot Irish, but it is humanity and right. It is not counties, or religion—it is a united Ireland. Gladstone'’s bill seems to be to me one of barter and sale. It is the same thing over again that the 1 colonists had to stand in the ays—taxation and no represen- tation. That man who had been laying down_ his life for tne ause-~ Parnell—will do his best, however, and finally dear old Ireland will be freed from the bondage she endured so long.” Mr. Mahoney wished to suy a few words mn n-funl to the great Irish victory. “It has been something wonderful, “When Parnell and a few others took the reins and the championship ot this eause, not s0 yery long ago, they were denounced, both in England ana America. They were called *Obstructionists.’ It was said that their only desire was to ob- struct legislation. They had no moncy, and no influence. What has the end been? A great and glorious vi(-,mr?v. 1t matters not whether Gladstone’s biil is passed ornot. If it is not, the victory i lessened, but nevertheless some- the world o to hail with joy. man in Omaha, and the whole country, ought to feel happy over the great victory in England—and they do.”" A beautiful steel engraving of the origi- nal of Tom Moore's ha s d the league It is a very beautiful picture, the original of which is in thehands of Geo.

PEARLINE 15 wanulactured ouly by JAMES PYLE. NEW YORK: ASTRONG ADVANCE IN WHEAT That's the Way the Market Opens, But It Takes a Tumble. THE CLOSE DEEPLY DEPRESSER- Corn, Oats and Provisions Symps thize Strongly With the Leading Cereal-The Cattle Market Lower But Easier, CHICAGO G MARKET. CuicAao, April 18 Special Telezram] = Wiigar—Wheat opened strong and highee this morning, and for May delivery it ad- vanced from T8e to T8%c. Cables were rather botter, the surrounding markets folt bullish, and news from the seaboard was of an encouraging character. The estimates of the decreaso in the visible supply jumped 1,400,000 bushelg, and there was a continua- tion of the bullish export talk heard on the floor Saturday. The temper of the crowd was bullish, but the bears were out in force and contested every inch of the ground vig- orously. Socalpers were working the long sido early, however, and besides thero was a very persistent buying by strong commis- sion houses, whose brokers followed the market but did not seem disposed to put on the pressure, their policy sceming to be a repressive one. Judging from surface appearances, Tho strongest bear card of the morning was the news from Minneapolis thatthe milling capacity had been reduced materially on account of Inability to find a market for any but the bost grades of flour, stocks of in- ferlor grades having accummulated on millers hands to uncomfortably large proportions. Some traders were uncharitable enough to associate the shutting down of the mills with the reports afloat during the latter part of las t week that the northwest had gone short in this market 45,000,000 or 50,000,000 bush but others took no stook in that sort of gossip, as the scalpers were quick to selze upon the news from Minneapolis and use it for a down turn. From 11 o'clock a. m. until 1 p. m, the market was woak and at times nerveless. The prico for May was down to T8}¢@781{c several times, and trade grew dull. Shippers of wheat were quiat and apparently indifferent to the course of events. They were not trying to do business, and gradually the bull talk about export shipments and foreign absorption of stocks ceased. The sentiment of the room traders began to change, and the drift seemed to be again downward. *‘We must have steady and large depletions on locals or wheat can't advance, and we can’t have an essential re- duction if there isany let up to the foreign demand,” said an active trader, and the oft repeated assertion was applauded. The clos- ingat 1 o’clock was at 783ge for May and 80@s0}ge for June. Just beforo the ending of the morning session it was reported that a foreign order for 200,000 bushels had been filled. but it could not be verified. Mixor GrANs—Corn and oats were in a rut to-day, and cash as well as speculative business was almost at a standstill. Quota- tions scarcely moved, and the market scemed asleep. ProvisroNns—Pork declined 73@10¢, and lard and ribs 24c up to 1 o'clock. The scalpers had fun with each other in pork, which bobbed about vivaciously until toward the last. The market was heavy as a whole, with offerings In excess of Inquiry, AFTERNOON BoArD—On the afternoon board wheat broke ’¢c, and the close was very weak at 77ic for May, and 79%c for June, One boat load was reported taken from New York for export, and the fecling was one of great depression locally. Corn and provi- sions slid down a peg or two in sympathy with wheat. 2:40 p. m.—Puts on May wheat, 76}¢c; calls, Ti3e.

Tho decrease in the visible supply of wheat s ¢s- timated at about 1,400000,” During the latter part of the morning session the bears tried to break wheat on report that Minneap- olis mills had closed, but the statement was not credited.
