Senate, WaAsHINGTON, April 14.—The chair laid before the senate a letter from Senator Jack- son, saying hehad accepted the United States Judgeshiv of the Sixth cireuit, and his seat in the United States senate had become vacant, and requesting the president protempore to 0 inform the executive of Tennessee. The chinir said the information would accord- ingly be sent to the governor of Tennessee. he chair also laid before the senate the memorial of the Wool Growers' convention, held at St. Louis, complaining of the prop sition to place wool on the free list. ferre Mr. Morgan said he had been instructed by thie commiftee on_foreign relations to give notice that he would to-morrow, at 2 o'clc 2o into exceutive ses tion of important matte Jolph_gave notice that on Friday he woulil ask consent toaddress the senate on the Indian depredations.

Mr. Riddleberger submitted as a subst for the pending resolution relating 1ive sessions, a resolution providing “th amatters, other than those relating to tre: should be considerad and acted upon by the senate in open session.”” It was ordered printed. On motion_of Mr. Blair the senate took up the bill reported by him from the committee on pensions for the relief of soldiers of the late war honorably discharzed after six months’ service, who are disabled and i pendent “upon 'their own labor for sunport, and the dependent parents of soldiers who died in the servicoor from disabilities con- tracted therein, Mr. Blair snid the bill was y lly the same bill that thie senate at its last se: had failed in the houso of representatives. At2o'clock the matter went over for to- day, and the inter-state commerce bill was 1aid before the senate. Cullom detailed the provisions of the measure at great length. Mr. Palmer said he would vote for the bill not because he thought it all that he would approve, but because it looked in the right direction.

The Wife Alleges and the Husband Denies, Judgo Stenberg has 1ssued a warrant for the arrest of a man by the name of Ned Philbrick for beating his wife. 1f the story of the woman be haif true, the fellow is nothing less than a brate in human form. Mus. Philbrick’s story a8 told to Judge Btenberg is pitiful in the extreme. Sho is but 28 years of age, and has been mar- ried to Mr. P, for seven years. For the , has been abusive, cruel, and has failed to provide support for his family. Mrs, Philbrick says that for the last four d mnothing to eat but water, and that when she askod her husband to bring_home some meat he struck her down. Their young- est child is an infant still in arms, ‘and so nearly starved is the mother that she is almost unable to m it.

Philbrick when arrested had on his per- son §20. He has been bailed out and his trial will come off’ this wee The above is from last e and is in substance what the said. The following is Philbri nial: He denies nlmest everything alleged by his wife. Philbrick admits that shedid go to the Women's Christian Aid society and get food, but that it was entirely unnec: essary, s he has always provided food for his family. He says a little family tilt started this, and that the woman— whose mother is at the bottom of the whole thing—is making as much trouble as possible tor him. His wife, he an denies that she made the above allegn tions in the police court, but he is doubt- ful on that question. As to asking him to get meat, and he knocking her down, he says that, instead of anything like it, she threw a pan full of meat at him at the time.

Yesterday the gang of workmen in the employ of Contractor Fox, who are doing the grading on Seventeenth and Harney streets, “walked out.” It seems that about noon the work was down to one small point, and having thirty-six teams at work Mr. Fox decided that he would lay oft'six of them, as they could not all work to an advantage, the dump being too small. Only nine men were kept on the dump, and they could not handle ali the dirt. He gave ordersto his son to lay off these teams, naming only one man med O'Dell, an agigator—who must £o anyway, and told the young man to use his own discretion as to the rest. This was done. O'Dell, alias “the Mayor of Council Bluffs,” influenced the other men to leave work and support him, he wishing to goto work again, Mr, Fox went up there about o k. found all the men on a strike. the facts to the men, and te: fifteen teamsters returned to work. These, how- cever, could not keep the workmen—some ninety in number- v, 50 the contrac- tor ordered all work stopped for the day, and that all, except O'L n~fl, who wanted 10 go to work n could do so this morning.

The coroner's jury which held an in- quest over the deadinfant of Mrs. Vance, whose case was mentioned in Tuesday's BEg, returned a verdict to the effect that the child was born dead,owing to canses which could not be exactly determined. The general opinion is that the drunken and dissolute habits of the mother are partially responsible for the death of the child. ~ Yesterday Vance called at the BEe office and made an indignant protest because the witness who first odged the complaint against him was not examined at the inquest.

The Oanse of W. D; Carpenter's Untimely Demise_8till a Mystery. WHO PURCHASED THE MORPHINE A Complete Investigation of the Facts of Oarpenter's: Alleged Suicide Brings to Light Some Pecne liar Facts. Something New and Interesting. The cause of the death of the late Wil- linm D. Carpenter, which occurred la woek Thursday, is still shrouded in mys- tery. Various theories have been ad- vanced to account for it, with more or less degree of plaunsibility. The coroner's jury, after a cursory examination into the facts, returned the verdict that the deccased “met his death from a dose of poison administered by himself.” The nature of the poison, so says the verdict, was unknown to the jury, butfrom the evidence was supposed to be morphine. This verdict, uncomplete as it is, was unsatisfactory to the friends and rela- tives of the late Mr. Carpenter, as well as to the goneral public. No blame is attached to the coroner, but it is thought that under the existing circumstances a more thorough investigation might have been had. The younf( man’s father en- tirely discredits the idea of suicide, but is unwilling to state what he believes to be the true theory in regard to his death. In view of these circumstances a re- porter visited the scene of the young man's death yesterday afternoon and ascertained certain facts which may pos- sibly throw some light ufmnflm matter. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter live in a small, one-story, two room house a few rods south of the shot tower. Tho house 15 sur- rounded by a growth of underbrush and is accessible only by abridle, path being back about forty rods from the main rond, A Gorman family who cannot speak English live next door to them, and aside from them they have no neight bors.

Where she obtained the money to purchase the house and the lot upon ~ which it is situated she does , mnot state, but friend of hers claims that she made the purchase out of her carnings 1s a seam- stress. A thorough investigatian would show. From her own and the testimony of her friends Mrs. Carpenter is a much worried woman. Sheis rather above the medi- um, and neither stout nor slender. She has a dark, sallow complexion and black es with small pupils, which, how- ever, dilate wheh she is in a staté of ex- ement. Her first husband was a man by the name of McKinley, by whom she had a daughter who'died sbout two years ago. Ed Hartshauxnext sustained the 1 al relations with her, and after him came a man named Kendall. MeGregory and Green are also fentioned as being on intimate ' terms with he but whether or mot the wedding knot was ever tied is uncert: That s s married ina bona fide man- ner to Carpenter is, however, proven be a doubt -as she has & marriage certifioatnsigned last Febrt by a well known justice :of the peace’in Council Blufis. Mrs. Carpenter has a friend named Annie Nicholsons who according to tho people-in the vicinity has become es- tranged from her parents and is inclined to b a little wayward. She is rather a pretty girl about 18 years old, with eyes that speak volumes to the intelligent ob- server. When seen by a reporter for the BEg, she was seated at a sewing machine in Mrs. Carpenter’s house, hemming n white skift. By her side was a_dull, phiegmatic looking man named Bruce, wholives in the neighbortood. The girl was subjected to a volley of questions which she answered in a ealm, matter of fact manner. She told the story of seeing Carpenter take something from under his mattress, — he was in bed at the time,—a few minutes before his death and place it un- der the bed covering. Just what this as she said that she did not know, as at this point she went out of the rdom to call Mrs. Carpenter, who was feeding the ckens. She said that she heard “hi wilk across the floor. The theory advanced at the time, and which was " accepted by the coroner’s jury, was thatthe package removed from the ‘matiress contained the morphine which caused his death, and that when he walked acr the room he placed ti paper containing the powder in the stoye. The bed in which he was lying was in the front, and near it was an ordinary flat-topped kitchen st The girl stated that she did not hear him open the doors to the stove or re- the lids, althongh she could him walking across the floor. per such as that used by druggists apping up powders could at the time be discovered, but the next day Annie found a serap about two inches square under the bureau., The corones however, who examined the premises at the time, could find nothing.

Fhe next morning he stated that he went with him_ to the drug store of R! Rassmusson, No. 1501 Ventor street, where Carpenter procured 25 cents’ worth of mgrphine, paying for it with a silver dollar, which 'he took from s vost. poglict He says that the drug was put up by Mr. Rassmusson him- who divided, a¢1into four powders, apped it up in'a piece of paper, and told him to take one powder at a dose. Rassmusson iscone of the most highly respocted men in-South Omaba, and bis hbors say thgt his word can be de pended on implfeitly. He told the re. Jast nightithf Carpenter was not In his store thie morning of his death, and that moreover he!naver sold him a grain of morphine. Hielerk, who was also en, said that iewas out of town on the day in questiop jand that he had never given Curpenter the soporific He stated, however, that Rassmusson's predecessor in_the drug store told him that he had often dispensed bottles of morphine to Mrs. Carpenter, whom he 100k to be & vietim of th iit.

Thoy left botween 11:80 and 12 o'clock, and according to the statement of Flannery, who saw them depart, were both perfectly sober at the time. Car penter’s wife, however, asservated time and again to a Bek reporter that her hus- band eame home between 11 and 12 o’clock in a state of beastly intoxication The distance from the saloon to his house is perhaps a mile, and, if tho wife's statoment is true, during the not more than half hour ocennied in traversing it he became so much intoxicated that he was unablo to stand up but was brought home by one of the neighbors named Paulsen, who assisted her to put him on the bed Annie Nicholson stated that Carpenter and his wife lived on happy terms with each other and as far asshe knew did not quarrel, Mrs. Carpentor, how- ever, admitted that they had numerous family rows of mere consequence. ‘The neighbors state the same. Mrs. Carpenter does not deny that she lived on terms of intimacy with her hus- band for a long time before the marriage vows were performed The neighbors agree to this statement. Mrs. Carpenter admits that her hus: band was of a _jealous disposition and that she partook of his rature in this respect. The m‘ip]hl)on stato that this was tho fact according to their observation.

Yesterday afternoon at about 5 o'elock the Glencoe mills till was taken out of the oflice. It seems that for a half an hour a couple of fellows had been hang- ing around the mills, but conducted themselves in such a manner as to excite no suspicions. The mills proper are in the rear of the building, with a small office in front. The money is kept in a till in this office, and as they have had no trouble heretoforé¢, not much attention was paid to it, sometimes no one at all being in the office. Theso fellows were awaro of this, probably, and while the office was yacated, at about the hour namet, they walked delibe y in and one fellow took the till under his arm and ed outof the building.

A New Speaker Last Night—Scenes and Incidents, Ten Chinamen sitting near the pulpit looked very wise and solemn as the choir opened the revival servico [at the Exposition building last night. Their song was “Have You the Garment of White?" and the Mongolians appeared to join in the music. though it is much to be doubted whether half of them knew what they were singing about. Another song followed in swhich the rod-faced young man who handles tho baton got woefully out of time, and man- aged to keep three or four swings behind the choir. Still he struggled manfully on. A vel mall infant in one of the front rows intermingled its prattling with the “amens” and “Lord, grant its" which accompanied the opening prayer by Rey. Broderick, This circumstance did not in the least wise annoy the divine, who made a most powerful plea for the de- scent of the Holy Spirit. More singing followed, the collection was taken up by a small army of ushers, and then Rev. Harris, of the First Baptist church, led in a fervent prayer. Mr. Bitler advanced to the edggof the Pl:lllorm, and in a fow words introduced his friend and former co-worker, Rev Nor. Creighton, of the St. Paul M. E. church, the speaker of the evenin, He commenced by alluding to Mr. Bitler's work in other cities, which, he said, had been a good one. *The worst town (but one) I ever saw,' he said, “‘was Gallipolis, a river town on the Ohio. 'he one city I refer to is On n\,‘ ‘Well, this city on the Ohio was a wicked place, with a bad reputation abroad. 1'2 was the centre for river trade and a sort of headquarters for the gam- blers, and other disreputable characters. I worked with Brother Bitler in Galli- polis, and a most glorious work complished—600 souls being converted. At Circleville, Ohio, Brother Bitler worked in the revival, and 540 conver- sions followed. At Lincoln, where Mr. Bitler came out to help me at_my solici- tation, there were 800 conversions, Ncw 1 don’t believe Omaha is any worse than Lincoln and what God can "do there he can do here. 1 believe you are going to v at revival here, something the ou never saw before. “‘Now the first thing'weneed, to have a great revival, is to get ‘loosencd up.’ 1 don’t mean anything rude or crude, or anything that won't bear criticism. We must have a free and casy spirit among us that will enable us to work with and lead the sinners to Christ.” The speaker said that in his church at Lincoln there were deep earnest prayers being made for the revival in Omiha. “*A constant incense of intercession is going up to heaven for the success of the work m this city,”” he remarked. The reverned tlen remarks were rather rambling. he recog- nized himself half apologetically, us he d, looking towards the réporter table, “I am afraid that it this speech is reported correctly t it will makea vather poor showing.” Creighton then spoke briefly of the ssary element of conversion. “You must have humility,” he said, *‘must be ready to humble yourself before God. When Henry Clay ‘v dying a_clergy- man was called in to pray with him. He started ofl’ by praising the dying man by telling God w reat, good, glor ous being Henry C ‘Stop that,’ said the dying man, ‘God will damn us both.” "The wise, old nding on the brink of the grave, knew that ho must humble himself before God.” The reverend gentleman devicted very strongly the terrors of sin, et out of the way of your life of iniquity,”’ he cried. “Give up yourself to God, and get from under the million mountains of sin which are tumbling upon you. Think of nity, and if you don’t tremble you not _a thinke: By the height of ven, by the depths ‘of hell, by an awful eternity, 1 you to think—think on the momentous subject of the salva- tion of your preciou: ul, “If God should do the very best thin he could do for you—I'll tell you what it would be. He pentence, N and give you a thousand souls is my carnest prayer.” As on the previous evening, Rev. Bitler invited all those who were secking Je: to come into the inquiry room after the service. An invitation was extended to all who were Christians in the audience arise. About nine-tenths of those ent stood up, including the Chin. men, who after looking atonc another in- quiringly for a moment, rose in a body, They appeared to be_very much pleased about something. Ever and anon they would nudge one another, and laugh leefully. uppose now,” said Mr. Bitler, “we have a good, old-fashioned time of mdshaking and ex- hortation.”” His suggestion was readil, complied with, and the congregation began to “circulate.” Christian shook 1 with Christian, and the sinngr came in for his share of encouragement.

Whilo speculation was bulling the market for forward delivery the railroads and local elovators have been chidk- ing the cash trado to death, the former by maintaining pools which operated against Chicago, and the latter by exacting higher transfer and storage charges than is the rulo in other cities. Tired bulls having laid down their loads, Chicago has dropped to a point relatively below any other market in the world, and the bears insist that there aro depths to the ocean lower than any solnd- ings have yet disclosed, and that theat must get there before the market widens and perma- nentimprovement and relief can be hoped for, he market opened to-day at a loss from yes- terday afternoon of 1-6c, and not long after- ward May was quoted at 70%e. The official figures give T}¢c as the lowest,but the trades on stop orders were made ¢ cheaper in sev- eral cases, it was said in the pit. “Thls is the lowest point ever reached for May op- tion,” said an old trader, stepping out of the crowd.
