THE OMAHA DALY BEE SIXTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL THE COMMONS [N AN UPROAR Hard and Hot Words Indulged In By Mem- bers of Parliament. SAUNDERSON ON THE LEAGUE He Characterizes It as Composed of Murderers—Healy Calle Him a Liar and 18 Suspended— Sexton Wrathy. An Exciting Incident. (Copyright 1567 by James Gordon Bennett.) LonpboN, April 13,—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.]—One of the most exciting incidents during the present session of parliament occurred £0on after midnight, ‘The debate on the second reading of the crimes bill proceeded decorously enough until Colonel Saunderson formulated a charge against the Parnellites, saying they were associated with crime and criminals, He named among the criminals Patrick Ford, P. J. Sheridan and Patrick Egan. Mr. Healy rose to a point of order. 'The speaker, responding to the ap- peal, observed that the colonel’s charge was undoubtedly serious, but it had been In such aformas to be duly met in debate. He therefore did not call upon the gallant gen- tleman to withdraw nis accusation. Mr. Healy then declared that the only course open tohim was to call Colonel Sanderson a liar. He was requested by the chair to withdraw his expression, but he declined. The speaker thereupon named him* Mr, Smith moved that he be suspended. 'The house was now In astate of great excitement. One hundred and elghteen members voted for suspension and fifty-two against, the minority being mainly Parnellites,but Includ- 1ng a few radicals. The division was taken in a rather thin house. Mr. Gladstone and Lord Randolph Churchill, who had been present early in the sitting, were not in at- tendance during this occurence, nor was Mr, Parnell. HEALY BUSPENDED, Mr. Healy, who himself voted againstthe motion, returned to his place. He was di- ected by the speaker to withdraw, which he did, bowing to the chair. As he retired his compatriots rose in a body, waved their hats, and cheered him lustily as he walked down the floor of the house. Dr. Tanner shouted: “This is for telling the truth.” MR, SEXTON TAKKS A HAND. Mr. Sexton then demanded that Colonel Saunderson should withdraw the statement that he had been an associate of murderers. ‘The colonel demurred. Mr. Sexton then, in excited tones and looking toward Colonel Saunderson, shouted: ‘‘You are a wilful, cowardly liar,and if I had you outside the doors of this house I would thrust the words down your throat.” “I'he speaker promptly directed Mr. Sexton to withdraw the offensive expression, inti- mating that otherwise he would be com- pelled, with great pain, to take the same course as he had done in the case of Mr. Healy. Mr. Sexton replied that {f Colonel Saun- derson would withdraw his charge he would withdraw the language he used. The speaker having apnealed to the colonel, the member made an explanation which satisiied Mr. Sexton. SAUNDERSON RESUMES HIS SPEECH, Colonel Saunderson then went on with his speech. He observed that when Mr. Sexton was in America, he saw Patrick Egan elected president of the “Clan-na-Gael Murderers’ Association of America.” Mr. Sexton jumped up and declared that Colonel Saunderson was repeating calum- nies. He knew nothing about the Clan-na- Gael. Dr. Fox said that he was present at the eonvention and he wished to brand Colonel Saunderson as a cowardly liar, ‘The speaker took no notice of the interrup- tion, he being presumably intent on bring- ing about a settlement of the previous diffi- culty. After some delay Colonel Saunderson consented again to withdraw his words. THE LEAGUE DENOUNCED. He denounced the National league and quoted from the Irish World [an account of the supper in celebration of the Phanix park murderers at which Patrick Egan presided. Egan, he sald, was presented with a service of plate, to which Parnell, Sexton and Dillon subseribed. Uvon this there were loud chocrs from the conservative benches., Mr. Sexton contented himself with declar- ing that he never before heard of such a sup- per, and moved the adjournment of the de- bate. 1le thus secured the right of resuming on Monday. 'Vhese circumstances will upset thearrangement arrived at of taking a divi- sion on the second reading on Mouday. 1t may be added that the Times, in an edi- torial, strongly backs up Colonel Saunder- son. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. LoxvoN, April 15.-8ir Willlam Vernon Harcourt, resuming the debate on the coer- cion bill 1n the house of commons this after- noon, said the present alliance between the liberals and Parnellites was based on the liberal recognition of the fact that the wisest policy in Irish affairs lay In the acceptance of some form of Irish government which wounld tend to satisfy the Irish people. He twitted Lord Randoiph Churehill and Cham- berlain with having secretly consulted Par- nell,secking to make an alliance with him for their own purpose. The proposal to make the bill permanent Sir William characterized o8 & breach of the fundamental conditions of the union between Ireland and Great Rritaln. Major Saunderson, conservative, said the National lcague was supported wmainly by criminals, dynamiters, murderers across the Atlantie, He did not charge the gentlemen opposite with fmbuing their hands in blood, but did charge them with associating with men whom they knew to be murderers. Healy rose to a point of order and sald if Major Saunderson reterred to him he had no hesitation in saying Saunderson was a liar, This remark was greeted with rousing Par- nellite cheers. ‘l'lm speaker called upon Healy to withd tha expression, Healy replied: *'1 am only able to meet the charge in one wnx. If "you rule Major Saunderson in order, my expression is equally in order. If you rule him out of order, 1 shall withdraw my expression.” ‘The Speaker—'That's not so. Saunderson made a charge of the gravest nature, The respo is l{lu duty to prove it if hecan. [Cheers| But | cannot allow the expression you used. Healy repeated that Saunderson was a liar. A:ren{ uproar arose. ‘I'be speaker called upon Healy to withdraw. Healy refused, ‘The speaker thereupon named himand W, 31, Smith, first lord of the treasury, moved that Healy be suspenged.

CuicAGo, April 15.-—-About twenty-five creditors of Clapp & Davis, the wholesale jewelers who failed yesterday, had an indig- nation meeting to-day, during which numer- out intimations were made that the allezed failure was a bare-faced swindle, The fact that the notorious ex-gambler, Mike Me- Donald, was the bondsman of the obsure individual appointed receiver, and that Daniel Loring, of “Fund W” swindle fame, was a_prominent ’]udzment header, is re- garded as extremely suspicious.

IN MEMORY OF THE MARTYR Exercises Commomorative of the Death of Abraham Lincoln, THE HISTORICAL ADDRESS Description of the Laborofthe Guards of Honor in Protecting the Presi- dent’s Remains From Vandal Hands, The Twenty-Second Anniversary. SPRINGFIELD, LiL., April 15.—The twenty- second anniversary of the death ot Abrahain Lincoln was commemorated in the hall of representatives this afternoon, the service being under the direction of the Lincoln guard of honor. The exercises continued over two hcurs and were largely attended. Addresses were delivered by Bishop Sey- mour, of the Springtield diocese, and Ilon. W. H. Colling, member of the house of repre- sentatives. Clinton L. Conklin, a member of the Lincoln guard, read the historical paper deseriptive of the labor of the guards in guarding the remains of the martyred president azainst vandal hordes. After the memorable journey from Washington City to Springticld, the body of President Lincoln was deposited in the receiving vault in Oak Ridge cemetery on Thursday, May 4, 1865, One weok from that day the National Lincoln Monument ciation was organized. Their firs$ work wastobuild a tomporary vault on the ground secured for the monument. T'o this vault the body was removed on Dacember 21, 1885, and there remained till Saptember 19, 1871, when it was placed in the monument. Upon each occasion the remains were identilied by a member of the monument association. Atter- Oth of October, 1574, the re- B red to the marble sar- Jophagus in the catacomb and were again identitied. Hero the body remained undi: turbed till the night of November 7, 187 when an attempt was made to steal thé coffin with its contents, The thieves succeeded in breaking open the sarcophagus and in partially removing the coftin, but being dis- turbed 1n theiv work the attempt failed and the remains were restored to their former resting place. Members of the monument association, feeling the inse- curity of the situation, and fearing a renewal of the attempt to carry away the remains caused them to be removed from the sarco phagus. and, on the evening of November 15, , the three members of the executive com- mittee of the association, with some addi- tional assistance, secretly conveyed the cas- ket into one of the inner recesses of the monument. No further steps were taken until November, 1883, when public attention was aroused by events occurring in New York city. ‘The members of the monument ssociation, being persovally unable to un- ke the work rmluired to be done, left the entire matter 1n the hands of gohn T. Stuart, chairman of the executive committee. He requested John T, Bower, custodian of the monument, to select several persons whom he could trust and with their assistance to place the body of the president where it would be secure. He selected Gustavus Dana, Jasper N. Reece, Joseph P, Lindley, Edward 8. John- son and James MecNeill. On the night of November 18, 1878, these gentlemen removed the remains to a more remiote recess beneath the monument, to a place immediatel uth of the present crypt, and there buried them. Every possible precaution was taken to re- move all traces of the work or indications of the place of burial, which was deemed the more necessary because of intimations re- celved about this time that another attewmpt would be made to steal the body. This place was known only to those taking part in the transaction and to those ofiicers of the monument association by whose request it had been done. In order to more fully carry out the wishes of the executive com- mittee of the monument association, ex- vressed Hon. ohn Stuart, its chairman, and toprovide for the continued satety of the remains, the gentlemen above named, to- gether with Noble B. Wigeins. Horace Cl riu and Clinton L. Conkling, on Februa 2, 1886, formed an association under the laws of the state of Illinois, the cerporato name being the “Lincoln Guard of Honor.” ‘I'he ostensible object of this association was to hold memorial” services upon the anniver- sary of Abraham Lincoln’s death. Its real object was to keep secret his place of burial and to protect his remains from desecration. Thus the Lincoln Guard of Honor becamo the immediate guardian of the dust of Abraham Lincoln. 'U'his trust they continued to hold until April 14, 1557, when the coffin of the marlyr president was raised from its resting place and formally transferred by the Lin- coln Guard of Honor to tha Lincoln monu- ment association, By direction of the latter association the casket was_opened and the face exposed to view. The familiar features were recognized by those present. The casket was again sealed up and removed to the vault recently prepared beneath the cen- ter of the marble floor of the catacomb in the Lincoln monument. By his side were de- posited the remains of his wife. Over and around both caskets is & solld mass of ma- sonry and concrete. 'T'he following certifi- cate attests the identity of the body and the last act in this histor: We, the undersigned members of the Lin- coln Monument association, of Springfield, 1llinois, do hereby certify that on the 14th day of April, 18¥7, we saw the cedar and lead cofling which contain the remains of Abraham Lincoln opened iu our presence in the memorial hall of the monument. The remalns were somewhat shrunken, but the features were quite natural and we could readily = recognize them as the features of ~ the former illustrio president of our nation and that they are his remains, and that they were again resealed in his said cotlin and deposited in the vault baneath the floor of the catacomb in our pres- ence, (Signed) James O, Conkling, George N.

Des MoiNes, In, April15,—| Special Tele- gram to the Bee.|]—Fully 1,000 people wit- nessed the second of the Omahas serles this afternoon. The weather was cold, which made it very disagreeable, Des Moines pre- sented Campbell and Sage as their battery and Omaha Healy and Krehmeyer. Nearly everyone expected to see Omaha win, but the home team went out feeling coufident. The hore team opened and were retired in one-two-three order. Omaha came to bat and Bader flew out. Walsh and Dwyer crossed the plate. The next two went out from pitcher to first. In the second Des Moines was white-washed in fine shape, none of them reaching second. Omaha came up for their share and met the same fate. 1In the thira Des Moines started to bat and LaRocque and Sage crossed the plate. Omaha went in to win, but the Des Moines boys were too much for them and they took their seats without a run, After thiis Omaha failed to score and their pitcher was pounded unmercifully. They made every effort to score, but could not reach second. Des Moines piled up five runs in the fourth inning. In the fifth they re- tired withouta run. In the sixth Sutelitf made a home run amid the cheers of the spectators, In the seventh they ot two men across the home plate. Omaha failed to score in the fourth, ufth and sixth. In the seventh they managed to get & man on second and one on third, where they died. The eighth and ninth were disastrous for both sidos. ‘The score by innings was as follows: Des Moines 00250220 0-11 Omaha.. 20000000 0-2 The features of thojgame, were the battin, and base running of LaRocque, Sutclitfe an: Whiteley, and the wdrk of the home battery. ‘I'wice was LaRocque given his base, once by being hit and once on balls, The Omahn club played a very poor gawne, and it was evi- dent to all that they were outplayed. Their ficlding was loose and their throwing to bases was bad. Bittle, of the home team, umpired and gave entire'satisfaction, not one kick being made against his decisions.

CircAao, Avoril 15.—~To-day, in copying and renewing public records partly burnt during the great fire of 1871, an employe of the city clerk made a sensational discovery. It was nothing less than a deed to the city of the twenty-foot strip of property which now forms the south dock of the Chicago river, stretching from State street east nvarly to the Lake, a distance of about half a mile thiough one of the most valuable districts iu the bus- iness portion of the city. Before the fire no dock existed on this part of the river and mnuch of the strip was under water, while the remainder formed a narrow, lane in an unfrequented locality. After the fire the river was filled in and gradually docked at the present line, the owner of adjacent prop- erty erecting tall warshouses and manufac- turing establishments extending to the bank. In the confusion atten«ing the destruction ot the city, the zovernment’s tronsfer made in 1554 was lost sight of, its existence being known only to a few persons not directly in- terested and there being no record of the transfer on file. To-day’s lind, it is thought, will enrich the city at least several million dollars, in which sum the present holders will ultimately be multched. ‘The city au- thorities are extremely reticent concerning the matterand the details cannot bo learned. ———— News KFrom Emin Boy, ZANZIBAR, April 15.—A Smali trader from the Uganda country has arrived here bearing adviced from Emin Bey.

A LARGE AREA DEVASTATED Many Buildings in St. Clairaville and Martin's Ferry Completely Devas- tated—The Loss Over a Miilion Dollars, Tasted a Tornado, WierLiyg, W. Va, April 15, ~The first genulne eyelone ever witnessed in this mediate vicinity was experienced this after- noon and wrought devastation over a section of country extending from St. Clairsville, O., ten miles west, to a point as far east as this city. Little damage was done here, the high hills on both sides of the river sheltering the houses, but the commotion in the upper air was noticed and a few roofs were damaged. The storm first struck St. Clairsville, demol- ishing twonew brick louses belonging to Colonel Patton and Judge Coeliran, west of town, and a frame house belonging to a man named Coleman. A large mansion on the corner of Marietta and Main streets was cat off clean at the second tloor and the walls and roof scattered in fragments. The First National bank block and C. Trall & Sons’ dry goods stors were almost swept from their sites, onl a portion of the lower walls being left standing. Benjamin Park- hurst’s fine old brick mansion south of town was totally demolished, likewise the United Presbyterian church, a large brick edifice. The loss in 8t. Clairsville will reach 200,000 The Western Union wires and poles are all down. Horses hitched in the street were blown about like chaff and vehicles demol- ished. A scantling sailed through the air for a mile and cut as clean a holein two walls of a brick house asa cannon ball would. Shingles were driven through weather boarding like arrows.
