THE OMAHA DAILY. BEE: BARN BURNERS AT LINCOLY. )zc:ndinrieu Making It Very Lively at the Capital Oity, EIGHT FIRES IN FOUR NIGHTS, KLonsulting Over the Women's Indus- trial Home—How Policeman Ell rvin As- sault—-Lincoln News, IFROM TIE BEF'S LISCOLN BUREAT.| The people of Lincoln are awake to the fact that barn-burners are in the midstof them pursuing their incendiary work night and day, whenever favorable opportunity presents itself. As a direct ine of evidence in this regard, eight barnless citizens are now gazing on the ruins incendiarism has wrought for them as individuals. The department record #shows that not less than eight barns have Deen burned 1n the last four days, and nsuccessful attempts have been made two others. The last of these bonfires, which called out the firemen at about midnight on Friday night, was the most scrious in results, the loss reaching about $2,500, with light insurance, and 1 one of the buildings destroyed it was impos- pible to get stock out and save them from the flames. In this fire also several fine residences escaped cremation only by the hardest kind of work on the part of the fire boys, and it is only a question of time under present proceedings until more perious damages will be recorded. There are several reasons ad- vanced in the discussion over the general reign of incendiarism, nll of which are tennable in the line of explanation. It is well known in all po- Jice cireles that gangs of petty thieves, ‘burglars and fire bugs lay low to strike a city when a new administration shows its reformation qualitics in discharging allits old and tried policemen and puts raw recruits in charge. The wholesale rge of the former eflicient poli ce ers in_Lincoln Jins been in the line of ion to the toughs, and they now D ng a temporary home in Lincoln, Familiar faces that have been run out of the city in former times are now visible and the natural conclusion is that they are not here for their health, Another cause for present torch work is given by several citizens to be in the foct, that of the dozen or more tramps that have been in custody, who wouldn't work and were put on the streets with the ball and chain, tive of them have very easily made their pe from the present vigillant police ce and are at large again with any- thing but love for the place. That these are gelling even with the town is a con- usion many reach in seeking a cause in muswer to the lurid condition of the city Mt present. THE INDUSTRIAL HOME. The executive committeo of the Wo- men’s Christian Temperance Union of Nebraska, met by special invitation the Associated Board of Charities of the state at the Cavital hotel Thursday after- noon, for a mutual conference in rela- tion to the Industrial home for penitent women and girls, for the building of which an appropriation was secured at the Last legislature. Mrs. Holmes spoke on behalf of the W. C. T. U. and of its arnest purpose to co-operate in the uture as’in the past, in the effort to socurcly establish and endow the home. Inquiry being made as to plans for buildings, Mrs. Dinsmoor gave consid- erable information as to the arrange- ment and plan of similar institutions in other states. An arrangement wus then made by which committees from each society met the commissioner of public lands and buildings atthe capital at 10 a.m. Friday. At such meeting, Mrs, Dinsmoor, of Omaha, and Mrs. Russell, of ‘I'eccumseh, representing the state board of charities, and Mrs, Clark of Omaha, and Mrs. Woodward of Scward, on be: half of the W. C. T\ U., had a very pleas- ant and_satisfactory consultation with Commussioner Scott. Accordinq to the provisions of the bill, bids will be ac- cepted for the securing of the location of the home by the board of public lands and buildings, atter July 1, 1837, SLI GETS THERE. Ono of the most amusing of the many amusing acts of the present police force was perpetrated by Policeman Eli Bates, who, with all the authority in the world, arrested Deputy Sherff Langdon, an was getting ready. to land him in the cooler when Sheriff Melick arrived. It seems that Deputy Langdon was en route from the train with a crazy man, who was giving him a great deal of trouble, compelling the deputy to use forcein coutrolling the man. Policeman Bates saw glory at a glance, and proceeded to arrest the deputy without knowing or evidently caring whether he was an ofli- cer or not. The spectacle was appropri- nte for the present force. TIE MARVIN ASSAULT. The family quarrel between a man named Murv{n and a woman named Mrs. Berry and her son promises to be a cuse of more than simple assault when the arties have final hearing in the courts, 'his is the case published in the dis- patches as a murder, blu{ustordny morn- ng Marvin, who was hacked up with a hatchet, was out on the streets, although his physician said his skull was cracked and his fly!nfi declar- ntions had been taken. eing poor and without means the police judge yes- terday paid 2 man for caring for and watching Marvin in the court rcom at the engine house and keeping him quiet so that, if nature would allow, he could re- cover notwithstanding his cracked skull. Mrs. Borry, one of the assailants, had quarters through the night and yesterday in a cell in the cilr jail, and "her son, young Berry, was found in the night and ransferred to jail. County Attorney Stearns was out of the city in the morn- ing and the cases wero continued for hearing at a later hour. FOR FELONIOUS ASSAULT. Thore was a dance—a mazy whirl of raiety down 1n the vicinity of Y and Twelfth streets Friday mnight at the Ackerman residence, The Stevens family reside near at hand, and before the police judge yesterday morning the elder Stevens appeared and swore out a complaint agninst David Ackerman, charging him with felonious assault upon Joseph Stevens. ‘The side of tho o Iaid bare in the com that Ackerman pursued young Stevens with & kuife, striking at him with it but missing his aum. Failing to become an exceationer with this implement of war, he siczed an axe and continued the chase with that, The story of the prosecution goos 1o show that the elder Ackerman stood in the doorway of his humble habi- tation and urged ou the warfare. The ense on trial, however, as is usual n these felonious xeeanlt matters, may de- velop us grovious a case cf parsecution #t the present as the pape:s in case recited in the abuve, Cr a colored wpman, rep in the ity juil yesterday awaiting her tiial for felonious assauit upon the person of bLucy Rich- ards, a colored grl.

The pay, however, stopped, and Mrs. Cross st onse set in peration the most atringent tastics of eviction which culminated in an uifr-vnhnx case of usanult. J. H.

P, Rog- gen, tekes possession of the ital hotel and henceforth will be the genial landlord, as he has always been the genial, pop- ulsr servaut of the people in his {urs of life in public service. Mr. Roggen knows the traveling public and thei wants and he proposes to oitinyp son that the Cavital hotel shall always be a home place with home comforts and the best of everything in the land. Captain Heddleson ~ will be the chief clerk, and is well and favorably known to the traveling public. ~ R. C. Wright, of Steamboat Rock, Ia., will be cashier and book- keeper, and the culinary department will be under the immediate supervision of William Brown as stewart, who was for several years with the Briggs house, Chi- cago, in the same capacity, and who has also been steward on one of the Palace const line steamers in and out of San Francisco, Mr. Roggen in the Cap- ital hotel 114 roums‘?ur guests and in ad- dition has thirty-five rooms in the annex, all of of which will afford ample room for the public, THE NEBRASKA CITY BRIDGE COMPANY. Amended articles of the Nebraska City Bridge company were filed with the sec- retary of state yesterday. These amended articles recite the business of the corporation to be the building and main- taining of a bridge across the Missouri river at Nebraskua City, that shall be both for railways and wagon trafiic. The capital stock is fixed in the amended articles at $350,000, and the incorporators are O. P, Mason, W. E. Dillon, G. B. Scofield, J. Sterling Morton, James Sweet, Joseph E. Lamaster and David Brown, IN BRIEF. The board of public lands and build- ings meets on Monday next, at which time steps will be taken to advertise for the construction of new buildings at the Kearney industrial school, the plans and specifications for which have already been prepared. Chief Newbury, of the fire department, is laid up with a badly sprained hip, the result of a fall from the hose cart while en route to the fire Friday cvening. The warden, however, went to the fire not- withstanding his fall, and saw it out. Mrs. Stella Jerome Prager, Lincoln's favorite artist, has her studio now in_the front rooms of the Potvin block. Mrs. Prager has some handsome work in pro- gress on her easels. J. R. Nickol, the steward of the Nor- folk asylum, is i the eity arranging for the furnishing of the building ready for occupancy. At T MASTER OF THE MAILS. Mr. Coutant Retires ani is Succeeded by Mr. C. V. Gallagher. All day yesterday was spent by Mr. C. V. Gallagher 1n checking up the property of the postal department in the govern- ment building at this place, for which he becomes responsible as postmaster of tlis city. This property includes all the stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards, postal letters, furniture and apparatus now in use in the postoflice. In the evening, about 8 o'clock, just before the office employes left for home, they assembled in the office of Postmas- ter Coutant. Mr. Coutant was engaged in checking up the special stamp business 1n his private room when Mr. Gridley. superintendent ot the money order de- vartment, called him into the apartment nlljmuin‘i: in which were gathered both lady and gentlemen clerks of the office. Mr. Coutant did not know whetier to take a seat or stand. He preferred the Iatter, oslmch{lly because his appearance led, on the partot Mr. Gridley, to the fol- lowing address: Mr. Coutant: After having served for nearly four years as our chief officer and, now, that you are about to retire, we, the emr]oyuun of tlis office, wish to make you a iittlo present, as a testimonial of our rezard. For this present we have selected a cane. Some might prize it for its market value, which is something, or, for its beauty of workmanship. But, sir,'to you, it should be of far greater value for the sentiment which it represents. Now that your official duties are about to closa, and you go forth in the full vigor of manhood, to assume, once more the active duties of & business lite, this may not attract from you more than an occasional thought. Bug, sir, should it be your fortune to live to that ri old age when all cares have been laid aside and, at times you to entertain your mind with pleasant recol- lections of the “days gone by” lot this cane remind you of this occasion and of those whose gift it was, and to your aged and weary [lmbs let it bé a staunch support. Now in behalf of the employees of this oftice, L tender you this, with their best wishes. Will you accept it? Mr. Coutant accepted the present and in a speech characterized with good scnse and a reasonable amount of heart-felt sympathy thanked the donors, remarking that the event would long remain in his memory and concluded by wishing all his em- loyes health, happiness and prosperity rn whatever occupation they might here- after engage. At the instance of Mr. Fred Iickens, three cheers were then given for Mr. Coutant, also the incoming postmaster, Mr. Gallagher. The counting of stamps and other property then continued and did not con- clude until toward midnight, when Mr, Gallagher accepted the property and responsibility of the oflice. To-day, the patrons of the place will doubtless call around and ‘“'shake’’ with the new official, THE GAMBLING HOUSES. Some Pointers Which Show How the Wind Blows. Despite the general prediction made two or three weeks ago that the Soder- strom-Morrison quarrel would ciose the sporting houses of this city long before the new law went into effect, all the houses are still open. The establishment at 1202 Farnam street has been re- opened, though under a slightly different management than before. Mr, Brucker has retired from the tirm and announces he will not turn another card so long as he remaimns in Omaha, Inquiry atthe other gaming houses of the city devel- opes the fact that they are all running and are not making an move toward closing up. The establishment at 1308 Douglas street has been repurchased by Mr. Harry Burbridge, the former propietor. In conversation last night with a reporter, who asked him what course local sporting men were oing to pursue with regard to the new aw, he said: "' would rather not say anything about that. For one, I shall simply await developements. [ have purchased this house and I intend to ran t square as long as [ can. The fact that this house was accused by certain parties of having a brace box 1a it has hurt its business & good deal. I don't believe that such was ever the ease.

The fact is that thece arc not two men in Omaha who can deal “bracs,’’ For one, 1 propose to ruu my_houss on square, honest principies. Honesty is the best policy in gabling as well as everything else.” - Piifering From a Peddler. Jue Brown was arrested last might on the charge of grand larceny, preferred by Jacob Levi, the proprictor of a peddlers’ supply depot on Tenth street. Leviclaims that he was about to emp'oy Brown when he missed $60 in cash, two watches and two suits of clothes. Ho vharged Brown with the theft of these valuables and cansed his urrest.

THE SEVENTH WARD RALLY. A Political Conspiracy — Sporting News—Coutant Caned—The Gam- bling Houses—A Musical In- novation—Other Local. Stock Ship pers Aronsed. Some of the gentlemen interasted in the South Omaha stockyards, and the institutions closely allied with those* yards, held a meeting last night in the oflice of John A. McShane. The meeting was called for the pur pose of discussing the discrimination of the railroads against Omaha, and the best way to remedy that evil. Among those present were John A. McShane, William A. Paxton, J. M. Woolworth, P. E. Iler and J. Y. Boyd, superintendent of the stockyards, besides a number of South Omaha commission merchants. The ovils of the descrimination against South Omaha was fully and extensively discussed. It was de- cided that something mnust be done, and that at once. It was generally conceded that unless the evils could be remedied, South Omaha must give up all hope of future greatness as a stock market. After the matter was thoroughly talked over, Messrs. W. A. Paxton and J. A. MeShane were appointed a committee to go to Chicago next week to meet repre- sentatives of the different Towa roads, with ew to securing the ne y commissions, T gentlemen are in possession of the necessary facts to lay before the railroad men, and will en- deavor to present them in as strong a light as possible. “What roads are engaged in diserim- inating against Omuaha markets?' was asked of one of the gentleman, after this meeting was over, “*All of them," he replied. *“The North- western, Rock Island, Burlington, and St. Paul.” “‘Can thev remedy the evils of the tarift without appealing to the inter-state com- mission? “Yes, I believe they can, if they so de- ive. And I believe they will if the mat- is properly presented to them,” ipposing the tariffs are allowed to remain as they are ¥ ““Then the result must inevitably be disastrous and perhaps fatal to the South Omaha markets. Something must be done." It waslearned last night by a reporter for the Bek that Hammonds packing house has just sccured a substantial vic- tory over the railroads, which will re- sult of course in advantaze to the other packing houses of South Omuha, For- merly the rate on provisions (or pro- ducts) of the packing houses, shipped from Omaha to Chicago was 28 cents, while the rate from Kansas City to Chi- cago was only 25 cents. The manager of Hammonds house served notice on the St. Paul road that no more shipments would be made over that line unless the rate was reduced three cents, Within a day or two. that road weakened and an- nounced the 25 cent rate. The Burling- ton followed suit, the Rock Island fell in line and finally the Northwestern gave in, The 25 cent rate now prevails, The Republican Meeting at the Park. ‘The republican rally at Hanscom park last evening was a quite enthusiastic and well attended meeting. It was held under difticulties. Two conspicuous features of the occasion were a strong wind and darkness. There was a facitiousness in the introductions which the chairman, W. J. Eller, Esq., indulged in when he said in presenting various candidates who appeared to speak, *‘for the purpose of your looking at them.” Before the meeting was half over the Chinese lan- terns which, on the start, illuminated the scene had been blown out. The band had, as aids in reading their musie, three fhckering torches, and an oil street lamp without any post afforded uncertain light for the newspaper reporters to take their notes. It view of these unfavorable conditions and despite the chairman’s rather d torial methods of following the printed programme to the wearying of the audience, the enthusinsm which was shown was remarkable. It was also indicative of the spirit which actu- ates the republicans of the Seventh ward and their interest in the coming city elec- tion ‘The speech of the evening was the last one, made by Senator Mand substance Re “When I was by the committee to appear evening I stated it would be necessar late before I could arrive.

A lew years ago the only auditors a man would have would be the chipmonks. It is astonishing that a political meeting should be held at this season of the 3 This is the time when the prudent house- wife does her spring cleaning. You are here to do municipal housecleaning--- to exchange democratic rule for the rule of republicanism. 1 am i hearty accord with you to change the administration of James E. Boyd for tl of Captain Broaten. Whethe ens or politi- ciang, Captain I beheve, Iargely the superior. ¢ Uaptain el to be greatly the superior of Mr. landerson spoke fayorably of John Rush, Mr. Long, Mr. Berka and other candidates. He said also that he bolieved his interests and those of un-x'f other citizen would be protected by Mike Lee. Not a word can be said even by the op- ponents of our ticket against it. ~ All that the Herald can say against the repub- lican candidate for mayor is that he is too good. [t1s to the eredit of any can- didate that he is in favor of law und order, and when the gentlemen who con- trol the Herald charge Captain Broatch with being 1n favor of order, they en- dorsed him to the heart. The speaker referred to the ery upon which the na- tional administration had gone into of- fice. The voters of the country had been deceived by the charge of republican corruption. The books had been opened but no where had the democrats been able to find one instance of cor- ruption. Mr. Wyman, who is now & citizen of this municipahty, when he was United States treasurer, at great cost, he counted the millions of in the treasury. A shortage was a shortage of just one-half cent, r was there such aninstance of false pretenses as that under which the demo- cratic party went inf wer. Even Eng- to lish stateson bave pofi:tud to this coun- | try as an example of pure government. As a first pro| iop it 1s sater to trusta republican than. a democrat. The re- publican is worthy of trust because he is both true to his party and also to public trust. Grover Cleveland's administra tion is one of hyvocricy. 1t isone of do- nothingdom. It is an administration that means the stoppage of all treaties— the opposite of the aggressive poliey of that noble leader, Jumes G. Blaine. It means that the administration 18 doing nothing except -traflicking 1 oflice to keep Grover (Cleveland in or put Gov- ernor Hill or some other democrat in the presidential chair, The great ship of state is moving on, to be sure, but it is simply the momentum whi¢h was given it by the republican administration be- foreit.

We want nothing to impede the progress of this thriving city and Captain_Broateh knew thi and “understood it thoronghly, The shn-nko.r knew both Broateh and John Rush from many year's association with them. They arc both liberal and honest men. “Beware of the temperance crank,” said Mr. Hawes, *‘‘and beware of loonist who is a communist.

He said that the repub- w8 were in a solid phulanx and ching on to victory. The speaker present at the time of the excite- ment on the floor of the house of repre- sentatives in 1881 when the question of submission of a prohibitory amendment so narrowly escaped being carried. The chief opponents to it were Mesars. Broateh of Omaha, Wheedon of Lincoln and Frank Ransom of Otoe. By his written l.mu«o against a call of the house Mr. Jroateh pro ited the resolution at one time from v "he coming election was to be an honest one. Illegal regis- tration had been attempted. The republican central committ had engaged o detective service for the day of clection and every fraudulent voter would be spotted and prosecuted to the extent of the law. Hon_ J, L. Webster made an eloquent and stirring speech. His point was that the growing metropolitanism of Omana demanded officials to be elected who were of known ability and integrity Such men were Broateh, who was e perienced in public life, and as unswery- ing in his_integrity as he wa ienced. The only thing Mr. G friends could say in his pru that he was a nice young man. On Friday night ~ Mr, 1arneau had appearediat a meeting of colored citi- zens and had solited their votes. Yet not a man believeld that after clection day Mr. Garneau would extend a courtesy to a colored man. He came bere two years ago and no one hyd en him until he appeared at a horse race. e had been fed from a golden spooun all his life. In St. Louis he was known as one of the greatest sportk. ‘Phe speaker said of the Herald tha it had preached prohibition between eamp: and for free why, on clection day, Captain Broath was introduced and cheered. He promised that he would con- duct the aftairs of the city if he should be honored by an election as or so that no person would regret having supported him, At the conclusion of his speech he was given three cheets and three more were given for the whole ticl Mr. Louis Berka, candidate for police Jud Mr. E. K. Long, the candidate for auditor, and Mike Lee, candidate for councilman at arge, all made addresses which were full of straight talk and oceasioned great erthusiasm. Mr. Long said he had been called a barnacle and a crank, and pleaded gutilty if to_be barnacle meant twelve years service on the school board without com- pensation; and if to be a crank was to refuse to pay unjust bills. Mr, Lee said that a democratic mayor, because be could not accomplish the removal of republican officials, bad served notice on the republican city council that they would have to assume the responsibility ot the government of the city. He added that the republicans in that council took pride in accepting that responsibiiity. Leavitt Burnham and Isaac N. Hascall, candidates for councilmen at large, fol- fowed with excellent speeches, Mr. Hascall believed Omaha was only on the starting point of its growth, Mes: Woodman, Counsman, Unitt and Alex- ander also spoke, Lee Estelle made a ing specch in which he af- firmed that the election of a demo- cratic mayor would caunse John A. Me- Shane's heart to flutter hike the heart of the voung girl who listens to her first proposal, as 1t would give him an oppor- tunity to control the machinery of the city government to the end that he might be Senator Manderson’s suceassor. If Mr. Alexander's speech lust evening was a criterion of his capabilities he will, if ele ward councilman, take high rank as alker. The Union Pacific band furnished ex- cellent music during the evening. Nearly all of the 300 or more who were present remained during the lohg proceedings and kept the ball rolling to the end by frequent applause of ev point made. Despite the uufavorable reumstances connected with the meeting it was in other respects a success. ring- A Political Conspiracy. Tt is pretty certain from facts now at hand that there s a deliberate scheme—or, more properly, & conspiracy—among the democratic registrars of this city to shut out republican voters. It is to put re- publicans on their guard agmunst this conspiracy that the BEk publishes some salient facts conebrning this scheme. A secret meeting of the democratic central committes™was held a few nights ago at which the matter of registering democratie voters was discussed. In- asmuch as = the entire machin- of gistration, through ir- n appointments made by the mayor, is in the hands.of the demoerats, it was determined to ron the machinery di- rectly in the interests of the democrats and against the republicans. It is under- stood that measures were taken to in- form the demoeratic registrars that they were to facilitate in every way the regis- tration of democratic voters, at the time that they were to throw e stacie in the way of repnblicans r ing. Furthermore, steps were t: ave three or four men in_eac rmish through the highways und by- for unregistered democratic votess, hut the democratic registrars are car- rying out these instructions there is but little” doubt, In the first dis- trict of the Second ward Mr. Don- nelly's queer behavior is noted in a communication printed elsewhere, In the third ward u worse state of affuirs exists. Republicans who have lived in that ward or fifteen years are put to the greatest annoyance in registering their nan; though they are perfectly well known to the registrar. Democrats, on the other hand, are given every possi- ble chance, many of them being sworn in by proxy. Republicans in the other wal it 18 said, are handicapped in a similar manner. Voters of the repn can party should be on their guard against this conspiracy, which, if vot “‘headed ofl,'" may prove suvceseful, PUNDT'S “PLACE| Being the N. E. }of the S.
