He Arrives in Omaha—-Death of Mrs. Gardner—Police Pointers—a Stab at the Doctors, etc. More Sensations. One of the most sensational affidavits which the celebrated Smith-Lowy suit has yet brought ont was filed in the United States circuitcourt yesterday The document is a thoroughly interesting one and tends to make the case look a trifl dark for Haiman Lowy and his son-in- law, Lewis Cole. It is a sworn statement by Loyal Smith, taken before notary public in Chicy setting forth addi tional chicumstances concerning the efforts of Lowy to hush up (him) Smith The affidavit sets forth in substance as follows: The afiiant, L. L. Smith, met, by appointment, Lewis Cole, Lowy's son in-hw, in the Royal hotel, Hamilton, Ontario, on the 19th day of May Mr, Cole stated that his obj: prevent him (Smith) from giving further testimony in the suit ag Lowy. Cole said that the old man, meaning by that Haiman Lowy, had empowered him to see Smith, and do whatever he thought best in the way of preventing Smith from giving any further testimony in favor of the eredi- tors. Mr, Smith goes on to state that af- ter Cole showed him a_letter from Lowy authorizing him, as aforesaid, he offered that if he (Smith), would not tostify, ho would sce that the £10,000 note, which Low given onthe sale, (and which was still unpaid), should be paid in full at once, togeth with £25,000 in cash beside: Y Smith declined. Cole then Smith would keep out of the way and not testify for the creditors, Lowy would give him the whele of the money in court in Omaha less the amount which had been aid out for _ expenscs, which e eaid was §17,000. Cole said that he proposed to swear to anything to save the old man (Lowy), even if it landed him in the penitentiary. Smith, uccording to his aflidavit, refused to ae- cept this offer, and informed Cole that he would not the money lying in the Omaha court and $100,000 besides — Cole then admitted that Lowv had not used him_(Smith) right, but they had gone 80 far now that they could = not back out; that they had always told ‘Woolworth and Thurston that the sale was genuine and the consideration fully paid, and that if they snonld now tell them the fctual facts they would nn- doubtedly drop the case. = Smith then told Cole that” there were several wit- nesses who knew the facts counected with the case, and who would testify on the nted, to tho and tl which Lowy him (Smith) was immediately rveturned, and that ne did not _get o ickel for the whole stock. 'The conversation then and and there ended. Smith then goes on to state in his af- fidavit that subsequently, on about the 10th day of June, he met' Cole again in Chicago, when the latter renewed his offer, ‘in order to prevent Smith from testifying further in the case. Smith again declined. A fow days afterward, while at Montreal, Smith received an- other dispatch from Cole as follows; “want (o meet you at Rossin house, Toron- to. Wire me here when you will go. L. Core.” The originul of this dispatch and of others Smith offers to produce in sub- stantiation of what he say: Still another aflidavit is by David N. Miller, which simply confirms the state- wents which have been sworn to by Smith. g0, More Afidavits. Thursday afternoon the attorneys for Haiman Lowy replied to the aflidavits from Loyal 8. Smith, filed some three or four weeks ago, with a series of ten counter-aflidavits. ‘Lwo of these, from Lowy and his son-in-law, Cole, arc very lengthy. The others are mamly from Chicago people, and bear directly upon the actions of Lo\v_". T. J. Crank, clerk of the Matti house 1 Chicago, under onth befor notary, declares that he knows & and Lowy; that in his eapacity of clerk he is 80 "situated that he ean view all persons who enter the hostelry or depart #thercfrom; that during the month of February, 1885, when Smith stopped at the hoh-fi he (Smith) and Lowy never had any conversation, and that they were not acquainted during Smith's stay at the house. This is intended to refute an afli davit which asserts that the two men met at the Mattison in K lrru:lrf’ previous to the flight of Smith. Mrs. Sophia Prenzlaner, who keeps a boarding-house on Calumetave in Chicago, avers that Mr. Lowy and his family boarded in tier house for some time; that during the month of February, 1885 Lowy’s little son was very sick; and that during the {llness of his boy Lowy was home all the time. Herman™ Prenzlauer, husband ot Sophia Prenzlauer, substantiates the statesmonts of his w Dr nile Sin- cere, o practising physician of Chicago, tostifies that he gave his professional services toason of Lowy's who was ill with scarlet fever; that the boy was sick during the entive month of Febru- ary, 1835 Joseph Biefield and Nathan Greenwold testify to minor ncidents bearing on the actions of sev- eral persons, all of *which counteracts eertain ncidents alleged in the opposi aflidavits.

Theouly business of public 1m rt transacted, which may now be pub- ed, wus the selection of the second ednesday in June, 1887, as the time of meeting of the grand lodge one year ce, and of Omaha as the place. The cers of the grand lodge, so far as de- ed upon up to a late hour last night, * are us tollows: G M., Charles J. Cou nt, Omaba: D. G, M, Miton J. Hull * Edgar: G. 5. W., Geo. B.

The report of the grand master was showing, among other things, that uring the past year dispensations uuthor- azing the holding of new lodges had 3 n issued to Custer lodge, Broken Bow ‘ubiys lodge, Cumbridge lodge, Valpai iso lodge, Ewing lodge, Liberty lodge” vergreen lodge at Pierce, Davenport, , Hartington lodge, Valley lodge at ilsonville, Silver Creck and the Chad- e ! &5 '|xl1 . The session o .. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1886. tions during the year amounted to $361. The grand master was petitioned by a bare majority vote of Nebraska lodge No. 1 at Bellevue, for a dispensation to move to Omaha. But the petition was not granted, because the grand master felt it was only tie grand "”f which could enable such a change to be made. Besides, the lodge was a landmark, and Omaha was growing so rapidly he felt it would not be long before it would be necessary to have a lodge at Bellevue, The offer of the directors of Masonie hall of an office for the secretary of the grand lodge, free of charge, was accepted The report of ‘the grand treasurer chows about 12,000 on hand. The grand master recommends that this sum be cut down to about £3,000 by returning the surplus of $3,000 to subordinate lodges upon a basis of a eertain amount for each member of the fraternity This would put the money where 1t is most neec and at the same time would not cause the grand lodge to suffor. He also recommends that a custodian or depository be selected for the orphan educational fund, which now amounts to $15,490.17. At present no bonds are given for the faithful account- ing of this sum. He favors making the hond in the sum of at least £30,000, and that the fund be loaned at the highoest legol rate of interest to be secured by first mortgage on improved farm lands, and the amount loaned in no ense to be more than one-third of the aporaised val wation of the mortgaged property, and at no time exceed $1,000. The present condition of the laws of sonty in this state renders them Jrac: ically worthless in their present form I'hey should be simplitied, so that the decisions and enactments on a given sub- jeet may be found. The procedure m the formation of lodges under dispensation has been found annoying and a_source of delay. It is ordingly suggested that all petitions sceking the establishment ot lodges be sent to the grand seerctary, and they be not forwarded to the grand master until the necessary demits, certificates, en- dor l-uu-nl.fl nd recommendations are made. Compliments are paid to B. I, Rawalt, grand custodian, and Grand Scere- 'y Bowen of y, the latter of whom has suceceded in getting his oflice into admirable ovder, The report of C.

Mr. Ben Folsom, of Buffalo, cousin of Mrs. Cleveland, @ the president’s wife, arrived in Omaha yesterday and will remain here several days to attend to some business matters in relation to the Folsom estate, of which heisthe executor as well asone of the heirs. Mrs, Cleveland, it will be remembered is oné of the lega- tees of her grandfather, Col. John B. Folsom, of Folsomdale, N. Y., who be- sides his own estate had an undivided finterest in the e of Ben R. Fol- som, father of *‘Cousin’ Ben Folsom. In this way Mrs. Cleveland securos an interest i the Omaha Folsom estate! which consists ot valuable eity property, estimated to be worth from $350,000 to 500,000. Grandfsther Folsom's estate ywever alone amounted to more than this. 1he Folsom estate in Omaha will not be disturbed at vresent as some of the heirs are minors. Besides it n profitable investment, us Omaha 1s grow- inl]’ and property is rabidly increasing in value Mr. Ben Folsom, who has acquired con- siderable pleasant notoriety i connection with the Cleveland-Folsom union, is a ¢ plensant young gentleman. He is a er by profession, and his home is now in Biftalo. He was formerly aresi- dent of Omana, and is well known to many of our citizens. Of course Mr. Folsom enjoys the paragraphs that h been hurled at him through every ne paper in the nd he thinks of hiring a private secretary to compile and keep a s book for him. “Some of these phs 1 y funny,” said Mr, plsom, *‘but the one that ae mo of wearing & searf-pin ns big as a half-dol- lar, with a red rooster with green feath- is a_monstrous exagr can say ‘offieially’ that 1 have too mu taste to wear a searf-pin of that Here is the pin You will sce that it is no larger than a ten-cent piece, and is simpl, Florentine mosuie,”” Mr. Folsom also exhibited to the repri tive of the Bk a photograph of Mrs. cveland taken about a year ago.

The Death of the Douglas County Medical Society. OwmanA, June 18.—To the Editor of the nowing you to be a lover of jus- tice and always in favor of fair play, 1 take the liberty of making a few remarks in the columns of your valuable paper concerning the premature death of the sickly infant known as the Douglas County Medi ocicty. I think the diagnosis of its death pub- lished in your issue of yesterday is im- proper. (Perhaps cholera infantum wa the cause of the infant’s departure.) It certainly is a wonder that in a city like Om and over 100 ph) rious fact that the m ans are men of infer y, graduates of one-hor: who have the mption to ope prescribe for diseases of which they have no knowledge whatever. I claim know what I am talking about, and I will_stake my reputation as a law-abiding citiz i more ben- efit to said city than the existence of said society), that two-thirds of these medi adventurers could not pass a proper met ical examination in a citylike New York. It1s time that the legislature would make some moye to endow a state med- ical college and compel every physician in this to pass an examination in said college, and if he has not the ability to pass then prolubit it from practicing medicine. We have a Law and Order league, e object is very good, and to take the of "this defunct infant which has just passed away, I would advocate the Tormation of a new organization, known as the Omaha Life Preserving Guards, so place of business will be in th and whose b pal business will y ing of rails, ar and feathers, and whenever one of these medical blood-suck comes to town, give him a fi de out of town on the rail and a new suit of the tar and feathers. I the logislaturo fails to do anything for the lives ot our citizens, then let the “Guards” do their d and we will not need so many cemeteries in Omaha, as the excess of ‘Lum»m the city is caused more from improper medical” treatment than from disesse. w the death of this unfortunate in- tant can be simply diagnosed as this: Physicians of abilityand cducation won't nd don’t propose to congregate or with men whoso medical ability is far below the ndard, and consequently the infant died not totally from lack of attendance, but it was choked to des ive ignorance, which respe ans refused to enlighten.
