' WAsmNGTON, Feb, 11.—([Special Telegram to the Bee.1—Much Interest just now cen- ters about Chairman Sawmuel Jj. Randall of the house committee on appropriations. To his committee have been committed the var- sous measures for coast defenses and it lies ‘within his power to have almost any of them smothered or passed. He can have any of them reported at any time, taken np or ‘passed, or can prevent action in committee. - There are conflicting statements as to what he intends doing. He refuses to talk upon the subject himselt, The republican mem- ‘bors of the committee say that he does not in- tend to permit auy action at all and that his . excuso is that this is but a republican trick i %o get the surplus out of the treasury. All of mnnflhu on the appropriations com- and nearly all in the house, are fora liberal coast defonse appropriation.

Gallagher, the noted fine worker who was for some time Schwartz’ cell mate in Cook county jail. Both men are from Philadelphia and are old acquaintanees. 1t is said “this story constitutes the largest part of the valuable service rendered the state by Gallagher, as mentioned by States Attorney Grinnell when the rrlmnnr maile a Pem Wednesday and received his light sen- nce of one year for forging eity warrants. ANOTHER ARREST MADE, Newton Watts, the bageage master of the Tobbed train, is under arrest for alleged com- plicity in the erime. He has been missine since Tuesday night, but not until this after- noon was it definitely known_that he had been taken into custody. Wednesday he was conveyed to Morris ba a detective, In company with the Joliet chief of police the two paid the brakeman, Henry Schwartz, a vigit at the jail. They remained in the cell with Schwartz three hours, during which there was much stormy talk. Watts was extremely vigorous in his denial of certaln statements sald to ave been made by Mrs. Mayhew, Schwartz’'s mistress, d corroborated by Schwartz. The 'master _paced the #loor excitedly, and claimed the whole pro- ceeding was an attempt to ruin nim. mrlfl!. the Mny'l:fiv xl»m;r'\‘.’ n{;d ltl‘m de- ve were repeatedly bran him as falsifiers. The whole matter ended by Watts being returned to Chicago, where he s now closely confined. There s no longer any -wtn: made that Mrs. Mayhew is also under arrest. — SHUMAN TALKS SHERMAN. A Ohicago Editor Pushes the Ohio Benator Forward. CuicAao, Feb. 11.--[Special 1elegram to the BEE.]—Andrew Shuman, editor of the Chicago Journal, and who has always beenin the inner councils of the republican party, writes a signiticant letter to his paper from Washington, in which he expresses the be- lief that John Sherman and Joseph Hawley will be the republican candidates for presi- dent and vice president in 1883, Mr. Shuman says: ‘‘Thege is much speculation here con- cerning the next presidency among men of both volitical parties, and the fact is recog- nized by all that the candidate who is most likely to carry New York will be the most likely to receive the nomination. While the republicans can not as yet agree upon any New Yorker to head the vresidential ticket, the recent defeat of Warner Miller by Mr. Hiscock, assisted by Levl P, Morton's friends, for United States senator having added new elements of division and confu- sion to the situation in that state, yet it is claimed by some wvery clear headed men, th in d out ‘of New York, that John Sherman would be more likely carry the state than any other man who is not himself a favorite son of thé state itself. ‘They say that the finan- cial and mercantile classes, men of commerce and finance, and those engaged in the in- dustrial pursuits, would he virtually a unit for him, without respect to political party considerations. If this claim is correct, John Sherman will loom up a8 a candidate in the republican national convention next year and ought to, Pennsylvania would support him for election if not” for the nomination, and the west could be or ourht to be safel. counted for him. I say this not as a special admirer of Sherman, but as one who is ex- eoedlx‘nfigly desirous of republican success. One thing the republicans as well as all others might as well at once make up their minds to, namely: that Grover Cleveland will be the noinlnee of the democratic party next year for re-olection. That may be setas a forezone conclusion, and we mizht as well face the fact; and, furthermore, it is need- less to add we might as well at once face the robability that he will be a formidable can- idate if nominated. I recognize the fact here as elsewhere that he Is continually growing I popularity iu his party.” ST END OF THE STRIKE, The Knights Officially Declare the Great Struggle Over, NEw YoRK, Feb. 11.—It is now an open secret that the strike on the East river water front is’ practically at an end. One of the officers of union No. 3 to-night unhesitat- ingly confessed that more than half of their 2,400 members had declared their intention of resuming work to-morrow provided the managers of the companles would allow them. ‘The World says tnat the executive board of district assembly No, 49 has declared the great strike at an end. 1ts reasons for so doing are contained In a statement issued by the executive board, which I8 1n effect that the Reading employes are threatening to strike 1t the terms are not made satisfactory to dis- trictassembly No. 49, The receiver of the coal company decided to open the Elizabeth- L wnrgs in a week, promising to pay the hichest wages and agreeing to submit the differences to arbitrators chosen one by cach side and a third to be called if they two disa- ireu A secret meeting of the Knights of abor was held at which these terms were ac- cepted and it wa3 resolved that all coal handlers except those at Hoboken, Port Johnson, Weehawken, and Perth Amboy shall return to work. e v Failed to Materialize. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The order calling on enginvers employed on steamship and rail- road piers to 2o on a strike so far as the piers of the river front are concerned, has proven a dead faflure. A visit to the docks this morning failed to discover a single in- stance where a statlonary engineer Lad quit work, A visis to the breweries showed all the employes at work, and the men stated that they had positively refused to obey the order to stop work and join the army of strikers, e Refuse to Take the Old Men Back. NEW YoRk, Feb. 11.—The freight handlers formerly employed on the New York & Northern railway sent a delegate to the rall- way agent asking him to take them back in a body. He said they had struck without glving warning and could not come back, as the new men bad been promised permanent places. At the Mallory steamship dock the old men were refusad work.

Feb, 11.—The local floods this morning are about in the same condition as yesterday. In the southwest district the river was rising slowly and the surrounding territory was heavily inundated. Consider- able damage to property is reported on Blue Island avenue,from Eighteenth street toWest- ern avenue, and on the cross streets adja- cent to the river. The overflow at the docks of the McCormick factory at 8 this mnnflnfl measured a_little over three feet, but did not prevent the running of the factory. The situation in_the northwest section was more hopeful. The rain was less general there and the river was fall- ing. Still there were large areas covered h{ water. The rain which had been falling in this eity yesterday turned into a driving sleet and snow storm last even- ing, and continued to prevail all last night, This morning the temperature was 50 de- ees above zero with a strong wind prevail- ng. The telegraph wires are working badly in all directions and local telephone service is entirely crippled over certain portions of the city. “The telegraph service Is such that only a'few wires are working either to the east or northwest. In Michigan, DEeTROIT, Feb. 11.—The Evening Journal’s special from Lyons says: The flood here is simply terrible. A panic has seized most of the people, and it is impossible to get an es- timate of the losses. The water is tour feet deep in many residences, and the same state of affairs prevails in stores. Everybod; 18 moving or preparing to move. Lasl night was the most exciting the village ever nad. Up to last night three buildings had been washed away and demolished and many others badly damaged. A family named McFarland are sick and_gare cut off from as- sistance. The Herald oftice has been boated to higher quarters. At Luir the same serions condition prevails and merchants have aban- doned their stores. A slizht abatement of the flood was hoticed last night, but it burst forth again in all its fury this morning. The rain fell in torrents about midnight, when it changed to where it is now, and by daylight ully eight inches had fallen. There Is a I'lzfulm‘ northeaster, witha twenty-mile wind. The water has risen two feet In the last four hours and is still riising. The people are working night and day to save their property. Maple and Grand rivers both unite hers and both are raging. At 11:30 it is impossible to give an estimate of the damage done. Should the Lansing ice reach here before the gorge gives wa{ all business places on the north side of Maln street will be washed away, A rough estimate _of the aamages makes it aggregate between $75,000 and $100,000. Specials to the Kvening Journal from other points are to the same effect. Fred Winters, ot Charlotte, was drowned while crossing Ephorn Apple river, Three Rivers is sur- rounded by water. All the shops have been closed at that point. The immense lumber sites of Roberts, Thorpe & Co., and those be- longing to Vosburg are afloat. The Lake Shore railroad track is in great danger of being washed away. At Owosso six inches ?‘t Iunow fell last night and the river is still sing, ‘The Journal’s Monroe special says: The river has been slowly rising for ‘the last twenty-four hours, but the ice was broken, giving a free passage to the lake. The banks of the river are lined with immense walls of ice and snow, rising eight or ten feet above the present high water mark, and great fields of lco of the same thickness fill all the streets adjacent to the river. e ATTLE CREEK, Mich., Feb. 11.—The water in Battle creek and Kalamnazoo river continues to rise and the lower portion of the city is submerged. The water was.never known so high before. Some houses and bridges are iu danger and some mills and manufactories have already suffered con- siderable loss. - In Indiana. Cnicaao, Feb. 1L.—A Fort. Wayne, Ind., special to the News says: The Maumee and St. Mury’s rivers raised five feet last night, and the flood now threatens to surpass the one ot four years ago. Many families have removed to the upper stories of their resi- dences or abandoned them altogether. Great distress exists among families in the flooded rtions between Toledo and Kort Wayne. 'he water is rising six Inches per hour, and the city must shortly be cut off from wagon communication from the north. Wild Winds in Ohio. CANTON, 0., Feb, 11.—One of the most severe wind and rain storms that ever visited Canton struck the city about 8 o'clock this morning and lasted half an hour betore it rnssed off. No serious damage was done here, but at Louisville, five miles east, a cyelone struck the town with territic force and did considerable dnmnlza. Fences and trees were mowed down like reeds, houses unroofed, shutters and_gates torn from their nicges, window glass broken and ehimneys blown down. The slate roof of the larze Catholic church was badly shattered and the roof of the convent school adjoining was lifted off in an instant. ‘The damave done the town will amount to between $7,000 and ————— SOME ONE HAS LIED. lowa Weaver ‘Which is Denled, WasniNaroN, Feb, 'was emphatic and given to Manning orally, but would be reduced to writing andde- Makes a Statement 1L.—Representative ‘Weaver, of Iowa, states that he nas to-day reeeived word from the president that he had directed Secretary Manning to obey the law concerning one and two dollar United States notes and to issue the same; that the order - used for purposes of worship are nhot inter fered with.

Crrcaco, Feb, 11.—[Special Telegram to the Beg.|—There Is a prospect of a lively tel- phone fight in Chicagosuch as occurred in Indiana some months ago unless the rate bills in the legislature are shelved in the near future. The telehone company is buckling on the armor preparatory to fight against the measure which its officers claim will destroy it. This is Senator Cantwell’s bill limiting the charge of telephone companies to 84 per motth where one instrument is used, and $3 each where there are two or more, The tele- phone people claim that they are doing the work now as cheaply as it can be done, and thata reduction, especially one so swmplnf; as that mm!em‘\lnml by ‘Senator Cantwell, would compel them to go out of business just as the Central Union company of Indiana did.

CANNON? Oircumstances Point to the Temple at Logan as H{a Hiding Place. On board the eastibound Union Pacific train from Ogdenyesterday morning wasja business man named C. S. Wilcox, con- nected with one of the largest jobbing houses of Cliicago. ; He had been out to Utah and had traveled that territory from the middle to 31! its boundaries. He had & great deal to say concerning the relative attitude of the Gentiles and Mor- mons,some of which were decidedly novel and interesting Not the least novel was the theory advanced as to the where- abouts of John Q. Cannon, the Mormon leader. This man, as, is well known, is an able and fearless expounder of and believer in the doctrines and practices of Mormonism. He is.iti reality the leader of the Mormon chuch,,because the age and infirmity of Taylor, the president, in- capacitate him fer -tne arduous nature of the work of leadership'of the church under existing circumstances. It will be remembered that early in the summer of last year, when the prosecution of polyfi- amists was being carried on by the fed- eral authorities, an indictment for lygamy was found against Cannon. fore he could be arraigned he fled the country, and was subsequently arrested in Nevada by the United States marshal, When on his way to Salt Lake, and be- tween Corinne and Ogden, he jumped from the car and attempted to make his escape. He was pursued and retaken, and tried to make it appear when cap- tured that he had fallen from the cars. At Ogden he was met by a force of United States troops, who were detailed 10 do escort duty, lest the Mormon pop- ulace should attempt violence upon the federal officers. Cannon was brought to Salt Lake, and pending trial gave bonds for $40,000 for his appearance at the ensuing term of the United States court, Cannon remained around for some time, but when he was summoned to court could not be found. His bond was for- feited, About the same time President Taylor aisappeared, and since then the whereabouts of neithor the latter nor Canuon have been discovered. Detec- tives have been ungn{ieu upon the case, but without being able to dispel the mys- tery which seems well’nigh impenetrable. ‘There are a number of theories of late, however, concerning this disavpearance, and that which Mr. Wilcox says obtains among many Gentiles in Salt Lake City, isthat Cannon is concealed in the basement of the magnificent granite tem- ple in Lo&qn. Utah. There are good rea- sons for this belief. This place is con- stantly watched, and of late the rules with regard to_ wisitors are more rigid than before.

ANOTHER L1E EXPLODED. The Typographical Unlon Committee Makes a Statement. Messrs. W, C. Boyer and J. R. Lewis, A committee of Omaha Typographical Union No. 190, have returned to the city. They pronounce the editorial statement in the World that they went to Lincoln to take any interest for or agamst the new charter as false in each and every particular. These gentlemen were there on business of aa entirely different char- acter. The following speaks for itself and explodes another malicious lie: ‘To the Editor of the Ber: The delegation from the Omaha Typographical union was not sent to Lincoln ‘for the purpose ot ex- pressing opinions or signifying any_desires for or against the city charter bill, “We had nothing whatever to do with the city charter’s proviso in regard to the city printing; nor in fact concerning any other part or parcel of the said charter.

At 9 o'clock last night over a hundred local patrons of the manly art were crowded around an orthodox ring in a small room on one of the principal streets. The attraction was a twolve- round glove contest between Sam Ste- venson and Jimmy Lindsey, two well known local light welghts. The occasion of the meet grew out of an'affair over a girl. Stevenson, it appears, took his best girl to a dance, and, after a lovers’ quar- rel, went home, leaving the girl alone. Lindsey came to the rescue and escorted the girl home. This caused a quarrel, which the two adepts agreed to settle in a “friendly bout'’ with four-ource gloves. The meet was acoordingly arranged. At 9:30 o’clock the men appeared in the ring. Stevenson was scconded by Jack Hanley, while Paddy Norton supported Lindsey. Both men were stripped to the waist. Stevenson wore white trunks without hose. Lindsey wore dark blue trunks with black hose. At the first glance Lindsey appeared to have the best of the match in the point of physique. He, at 135 pounds, outscales Stevenson by & ounds, and is heavier chested. He has had little or no training, however, and was soft and easily winded. Stevenson, who is an old hand at the business, made up for s lack of weight in hardened muscle. After the usual delay, Charles Moth, the wrestler, was chosen referce, and J. Roach and Johnny Lamountain time- keepers. Although the attendance was large, the best of order was maintained and no disturbance whatever was created by the match, which is given by rounds as follows: % First Round—A¢t the call of time both men were-on their feet and sparring for an opening. Lindsey appeared alifihfly rattled and frequently in this round, as in those following, turned his eyes from his antagonist to the audienco in a half frightened manner. After a good deal of cautious work Stevenson opened with a body blow and got a clean clip on the jaw in return. The men then got together and did some give and take blows, Stevenson forcing the fighting and clos- ing the round in his favor. econd Round—Stevenson bobbed up with a cold-blooded look in his eye to meet Lindsey, who was flushed and ex- cited. Lindsey forced the fighting in this round by rushm%at his antagonist with head ducked. Each rush ended in a clineh, in which Lindsey, by reason of superior weight, had the “advantage. Stevenson met Lindse{'s third rush by giving him a terrific left-hander in the aw. The blow st red Lindsey, but Stevenson was too badly winded to fol- low his advantage and the round ended in a clinch, in which Stevenson’s fore- head was skinned, showing the first blood of the match. Third Round—Both men come up puff- ing, Stevenson haviug the advantage of being cool-headed. After a walk around, in which both men left their guards drawn, they rushed together and were separated, as time was called. Fourth Round—The fighters worked for wind in this round, exchanged a few pleasing epithets, and closed the round with a hugging matinee. Fifth Round—Both men had recovered their wind and came up smiling. Lindsey opened with a rush and delivered a ring- inglloft-lmndur on Stevenson’s neck and dodged the return. He followed up his lead and had the best of the round for a second. He, however, made a rush at Stevenson and, ducking, caught him by the legs. Before the referee could reach the men Stevenson gave Lindsey an upfmr cut in the jaw that loosened his hold and started the claret. The round ended with hard hitting. Sixth Round—Lindsey again forced the flghLin;i and in a rush caught Stevenson by the legs. At the referce’s command to break, Lindsey sprang up and gave Stevenson two blows, one in the face and one on the neck. He attempted to press his advantage, but was swflpod by a full straight arm in the face that staggered him and covered the floor with gore. The round closed with some heavy hittin, and left both men covered with bloo and exhaosted. Seventh Round—Lindsey recovered in the best shape and ogennd the round with a neck blow and dodged Stevenson’s return. He repeated the dose and started to follow his lead, but was staggered by one of Sievenson’s left handed jaw breakers. Kighth Round—Both men looked groggy and came up reluctantly. Ste- venson got his wind first and forced the lighting, which was as lively as two ex- luustefi men could make it. ~ Stevenson tinally made & rush and by some nifty work succeeded 1n getting a knock-down in his favor, felling Lindsey with a left hander. lindsey recovered quickly and was saved further punishment by the call of time. Ninth Round—The men almost crawled into position for this bout and were able to but little more than push exch other around the eing. Lindsey got in a blow that sent Stevenson to his knees. He re- covered as time was called, Tenth Ronnd—Stevenson opened this round with & rush and did most of the hting, driving Lindsey all around the ring and knock! % him against the ropes several times. Had he commenced his work earlier in the round he would have won the fight, as he had Lindsey knocked out, to all intents, when the round ended. The fighting ended with this round. Both men came up exhausted for the eleventh round. Lindsey made a rush which was dodged, and the round closed without a blow. The men refused to come together dutl%cum twelfth round and the match was declared a draw. e —— DAN'S DISCIPLES, The Last Debate of the Webster So- ciety of Oreighton Oollege. In the last election of officers the Dan- iel Webster society chose J. McCarville, vice president; J, Furay, secretary; G. W. Mercer, treasurer; P. Burke and N censors; James O'Gorman, E. Furay, H, Cotter, H. Town, committce on debates; Mr. J. O'Gorman, sergeant- at-arms, The president is not elected. Another debate ou a historical question passed off with considerable spirit in the meeting of the juvenile orators of Creighton college. Harry Cotter showsd that Waterlos wes » emall fight compared in numbers slain with the battle of Tam erlane, the Great lu(ul (A D. 1402), in which 840,000 Tarks and Tartars bit the dust. Mr. Cotter has a powerful voice and piercing tones adopted for harangue; he spoke with the inflections of a born orator. Harry Town ridiculed the 1dea that 340,000 gory corpses make the greatness of a battle; and he thrust a brawny hand on the table with a fixed gaze, asif clatching that host of corpses determined to shake all the argument out of them, The object of the battle, he said, makes a battle great; and at Waterloo, & nation was overthrown, and the destiny of all civilized nations was trcmbling in the balance. M. Town is remarkably cool and full of good humor, his ridicule is seasoned with & bland gracious smile, and _he makes the most of an argument. Robert Shannon de- clared that greater destinies were at stake in the battle of Hastings (A. . 1066) and at Tours (A. D. 782) when Charles Martel saved Europe from the Saracen in- vasion and the yoke of Mahometan bar- barism. y He described his favorite battles in ele- gant and telling sentences; his clear, sil- very tones attract attention to his argu- ment, but need more combativeness and vh~nc\ty for success at the bar, unless ho shapes his course to becomo a very learned judge, Benjamin Hollo grappled the ?ueslion in its pith from the be- ginning, Never were vhe generals and the armies so well matched in skill and fame and experience and bravery, as well a8 in numbers and determination to crush one another; this was Waterloo— viclnr{ poised in mid-air for nine hours over the toughest battle, while eye and nerve of every soldier bore one continued strain, charging and resisting, marching and falling back, breaking and forming line; till, in one favorable moment, Wnl\lnmnn oaught the eye of the winze:i oddess, and with a breath of command urled back the imperial guard in over- whelming confusion between the English cnn\lrr and Prussian guns. And the invincible guards were conquered; and the conqueror of Europe was a lnz‘th‘u; and the horrors of French revolution, that like a swollen river threatened to rage over the civihzed world, fell back and shrank cowering within their native barriers. The debaters are learning to keep their best strokes in reserve for the second at- tack. This is favorable to extempore spunkln[{; when all parties are excited to warmth by the first speeches and irritated a little by retort. It was noticeable that the mewnbers are not quite up in parlia- mentary practice. An embarrassment was caused over a committee report that was moved to be recommitted. In voting, the motion to recommit was lost, and yet the adoption of the report wns also lost, and so the matter stood. Yt seems that some of the members present failed to vote. The chairman remarked on this fact at the close of the debate and reminded the members of therule for voting. A few other trifling circumstances were out of order, but, as trifles that may happen in any society, they are noticed only in a friendly spirit, to encourage the young men to learn the parliament- ary rules, that ere so seryiceable in all meetln}zs for deliberation, that a knowl- edge of them 18 enough to bring a man to the front.

This time the complan- ant was Mrs, R. C. Bloom, a good look- ing woman under middle age, who came here from Chicago a few days ago to visit her whilom husband. Her story 18 to the effect that about a year ago she was di- vorced from her husband in Chicago, the court decreeing that Bloom should give a part of his earnings each month to the support of his child, of which the woman was to retain the possession. In August last Bloom came to Omaha and entered mto the employ of a well known retail dry goods store. Since that time the re- mittances for the benefit of his baby have been irregular and Mrs. Bloom has been put to some trouble to secure the allow- auce ordered by the court, She says that last week Bloom, in answer to her re- peated requests for money, wrote to her that 1f she would come to Omaha he would fix the financinl matter all right. Suj posinfi that she would be better cared for in Omaha, she came to this city at once. She ar rived here on Saturday and went with her husband to the Paxton house, where they remained until yesterday morning, when the pair came to an understanding. Her divorced husband, so she said, picked up his grip yesterday morning after breakfast and, in & manner that left no doubt ot his earnestness, told her that she would have to hustle for herself,as he was going to leave the city. She at once commonted an investigation, which proved that be had kept his word. Sev- eral lots which he had acquired since he came to Omaha had been disposed of ata sacrifice. Bloom had also resigned his position with his firm and had disap- rcnrud. The woman will return to her home in Chicago o — Perronal Paragraphs. F. Zan, of Zan Bros., Portlana Oregon, is in the city. Chat Morgan, banker and lawyer of Sidney, Neb., and always popular in Omaha,arrived in the city yesterday on a business trip. Mrs. M.

He then learns the fearful tenacity of its giip and the utter powerlessness of the ordinary remedies to give relief. Probably to no disease have physicians given more study, and none has more com- pletely baffled their efforts to provide a spe- cific; and until Alhlovlmn)u was discover~ ed there was no medicine that would surely cure theumatism, neuralgia and narvous sick headache.
