Dr. E. K. Folk, of Tennessee, sald the people should give to the church the money given to Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. The Baptists should give thelr money to the church and work exclusively while there was need. A resolution to that effect was adopted. Dr. Holt, of Texas, sec- retary of the home mission board, had always kreatly aided that state, but yet there are eighty-seven counties where they have neither preachers nor churches. The Baptists number 160,000 white and 500,000 ‘colored commiunicants. “The recent drought had effected many por- tions of the state, but the frontier work needea assistance and must have it. Rev. J. 8.

Of these 75,000 are_civilized, 141,316 citizens dress, 38,901 read the Fnglish language, and 50,000 children of school age. The territory comprises an area of 64223 square miles, 79,791 Indians and forty-six tribes. There are t hree missionarles and 7,000 Baptiets, but we need more workers and more help. We call upon this board earnestly to come to our ald.” i Joe Mulhatton Outdone, CiicAGo, May 9.—The .published state- ments relaling how Walter Ridgeley, an eastern college graduate and wealthy planter near Texarkana, Ark., had Kkilled six memberers of a family of.desperadoes named Murphy in defending an Inoffensive drummer from injury at their hands.

To be sure that the af- fair had been correctly reported a tel of inquiry was sent to” the mayor of ‘Tes kal le replied by telezraph that there never was any such man or any such affair in that part of the country. Further Investi- gation showed that the original story was the invention of a drummer who Is an ardent adwirer and disciple of Joe Mulhatton. —_— - Labor Troubles.

Resolutlons similar in tone to he speeches were enthusiastically adopted by the meeting, and cablezrams tolling of the proceedings were forwarded to Gladstone and Parnell. e British Grain Trade Review. LoNpoN, May 0.—The Mark Lane Ex- press, in its review of the British grain trade during the past week says: Vaiues of English wheat are against buyers. Im- provincial markets there is scarcely any on offerand an advance of 6d@ls is asked. Sales of English wheat during the week were 60,492 quarters at 33s 2d, against 65,050 quarters 31 5d duging the corresponding period Iast year.

TAKEN UNDER IS WING. The Board of Trade Adopts the Freight Bureau Stripling. IT WILL BE FED WITH $3,600. Propositions For New Enterorises— The Olty Council Makes its Official Canvas and Boyd Gets In—In- teresting News of the Day, The Board of Trade. The board of trade took the freight bu- reau under its protecting wing last even- ing, and will hereafter chaperone that branch of ©®mana’s business machinery at the maximum expense of $3,500 per year, The board met in regular session in the restaurant hall in the new board of trade building, at 9 o'clock. In the absence of vresiding oflicers A. . Jones was nomi- nated hs president. Mr. Wheeler moved that a committee of three be appointed to report at the next meeting on an order of business, which, when adopted, shall be the order of business of the board. The motion prevailed and D. H. Wheeler, C. 8. Chase and John A. Wakefield were appointed. Mayor-Elect Broatch's resignation as chairman of the committee on the soid: iers and sailors reunion was received and accepted. Edwin Davis was ap- pointed as a member of the committee and it was determined that the commit- tee should select its own chairman. Mr. Gibson reported that the commit- tee to select grounds for the soldiers and sailors reunion had secured proper grounds at Cut-off luke, _ A letter was received from S. W. Mer- riam, manager of the Times at Marshall- town, asking if some reliable person could be secured from the board of trade in Omaha to send to the Times dzily, the grain and stock markets of this city, It was referred to the committee on trans- portation. The letter says: ‘‘lowa ship- pers are beginning to inquire after the Omaha markets, which the Associated vress slights.” A letter was read from the milling firm of D. Shellabarger & Co., of De- catur, slalmfz that they would be unable to put in as large a mill as wus desired by the Omaha board ot trade. W. J. Welshansstated that he knew the firm of Shellabarger & Co., aud re- garded them as one of the most prog- ressive milling firms in the country. He regarded them as very desirable people tosecure. The letter was referred again to the committee on manufactures, A communication from W. J. Roder- baugh, of Des Moines, asking for assist- ance to open a coal mine at Runnels, Ia., which covered 60 acres and make Omabha the distributing point, was re- ferred to the committee on meteorology. J. Krait & Co., of Galesburg, 1ll., wrote that they have wholesale dye works and indigo print works which they will move from Galesburg owing to a lack of water at that point. They desire to come to Omabha if they can “get suitable induce- ments, The communication was referred to the committee on manufactures, The reference to the communication of Shellabarger & Co, to the committee on manufactures was reconsidered and the matter was refered to W, J. Welshans and W, E. Clark to give it their personal attention. A provosition from John J. Ross, of the New York World, to come to Omaha and write the city up d.\.ecripfl\'ul,\' and pictorially was referred to G. M. Hitch- cock of the Omaha World, who at the last meeting stated that he was formulat- ing a plan for the proper advertisement of Omaha. letter from N. F. Ben- The followin nett & Son, of Wayne, Neb., was read: *‘We have just returned from Yaunkton, concerning railrond matters, We feel satistied amost beyond a doubt that a road from Omaha to Yankton will pe built this summer if we work 1t hard enough and raise the bonus. We expect committees from along the proposed line to meet your Omaha bhsiness men in & very short time in Omaha, The parties who are furnishing the money will meet us at the same time, and we see no reason why a definite conclusion cannot be ruucg’ed and a set of engineers put on the road and keep them there until the location is completed. A survey should be started atonce. Thisis the fceling in Wayne, Yankton and Cedar counties, and we want the balance of the route to feel the same way if we ever expect aroad.” The cominunicatoin was referred to the committee on transportation, The report o' the freight bureau spe- cial committee, which was the chiet business before the meeting, was then taken up, and gave rise to earncst dis- cussion. Champion S. Chase antagon- 1zed the whole project. He beiieved that the constitution ang by-laws of the board of trade would not permit the incorpora- tion within it of an institution which should have nnlimited access to its treasury. The milk in the cocoanut was, he said, that after ten years of struggles tho board of trade had succeeded in {e!' a build- ing and property wort! ,000, and everybody wanted a piece of it. That was the whole thing. He believed a very respectable number of members of the board of trade would en{oin any action which might contemplate use of the money of the board toward the benefit of the freight burean. The bureau had been unable to live of itself. It now wanted the support, the financial back- ing, of the board of trade. He did not believe that the board was pursuing the proper course. He would be 1n favor of taking $500 or $1,000 or even $3,000 out of the treasury of the board and help the freight bureau, but he was decidedly op- posed to allowing the latter to come in and make unlimited drafts upon the treasury of the board, Mr. Wakefield took an opposite view to Mr. Chase. He regarded the freight au as a valuable auxiliary of the business of the city. It was proposed, b the report of the committee, to make all members of the board of trade members of the freight bureau without cost to themselves, or, to give them the benefits of its services gratuitously. In return for this the board of trade only assumed responsibility for the expenses of the freight burean and had all receipts from membership in that bureaun of all persons who were not members of the board. Mr. kred Gray referred to the particu- lar section in the rulee of the freight bu- reau committee which waa objectionable as being rule 10 and reading as follows: *‘The expenses of the bureau shall be paid out of the treasury of the board of trade upon vouchers signed by the chair- man and secretary of the freight bureau committee and approved by the anditing committee.”” He suid that he had grave doubts concerning the right of the board of tradoe to delegate such unlimited an- thority to any committee, and he was in- clined to side with the chair in the latter gentleman's opinions, Considerable discussion followed upon each of the sections of the report and va- rious amendments of an important char- acter were adopted. The result was that the following rules of government of the freight burenu of the Omaha board of trade, were finally adopted: 1. The name shall ve the Freight burean of the Omaha board ot trade. 2. The object of the bureau shall be to give the railroad and transportation companies such information regarding the varions lines of goods it represents s shall insure their proper elassification; to secure freight rates to all shipping poiots that shall in no case discriminate lfilnfl Omaba; to assist in adjusting claims for losses, damages or over- & charges; an4 to render its services to members individyally and collectively in all matters pertaining to the transporta. tion of merchandise and the extension of the trade of Omaha, 8. The generM tanagement of the affairs of the burgaw shall be under the direct control of m gtanding committee of nine members of the board of trade, the chairman of whigh shdll be a member of the board of ditectors of the board of trade, and said coinfiittee shall be known a8 the fruifm bur%w,commim». 4. The ireight bureau committee shall elect its own chairman and adopt special rules for its govetnment, subject to the approval of the botird of directors of the board of trade; provided, however, that the secretary of the board of trade shall be ex-oflicio secretary of the freight bu- reau. 6. A commissioner thoroughly com- roh'nt and conversant with railroad reight rates and other transportation matters shall be employed by the freight bureau committce with the consent of the board of directors to conduct the bus- iness of the bureau under the direction of the freight bureau committee. 6. Shippers who are not members of the board of trade may uffiliate with the freight bureau by subseribing to the rules prescribed by the treight bureau com- mittee, and paying annual dues provided for in section 9 of these rules. 7. Subscribers to the freight bureau shall be clussified under three heads, ac- cording to the nature of their businesa aud the extent of benefit derived from the bureau, and shall be denominated cluss A, B and C 8. The classification of subscribers shall be determined by the freight burcau committee. 9. The annual dues of subscribers other than members of the board of trade, to the use of the frenfiht bureau shal! be: Class A, $48; class B, $36: class C, $24, payable quarterly in advance. 10. The expenses of the bureau shall be paid out of the treasury of the board of trade urmn proper vouchers as provided under the by-laws of the board of trade, provided, also, that such exvenses shall not exceed $3,500 Iwr annum. 11. All dues shall be collected by the secretary of the freight bureau commit- tee, and be by him deposited with the treasurer of the board of trade, from whom he shall take a receipt. The board of trade then adjourned. THF OFFIOIAL COUNT. Mr. Gibson Counted Out By Boyd— The City Vote. The city council met last night for the purpose of canvassing tho vote cast at the last city election. All of the council- men, except Mr. Schroeder and several councilmen-elect, were present. Presi- dent Bechel appointed W. R. McKenzie and George Hess as clerks, to aid City Clerk Southard in the canvass of the votes. The returns of the judges and clerks of the various wards were then taken up and examined. In the first precinct of the Firstvhrd and one or two other precincts, the,gflicers of election failed to make any. xeport of the vote cast upon the bomds and franchises. The entire vote w 8.000. The city hall bonds ##d the sewer and paving bonds were ‘all carried, but all of the franchises failed to secure the re- quired majority of all the votes cast and were consequently defeated.

Boyd, Mr. Hasgall received 4,481 votes, the largest number of votes pol for any one candidater He was closi seconded by Mike Le@with 4,465 votes. The council was décupied until after midnight completing the official count, an abstract of whighis herewith pub- lished. THE CHIEF OF POLICE, ‘Who 18 to be the Choice of the Com- mission?—Curbstone Talk. The question that agitates $he members of the police force and a good many others just atthis time is: Who will be chief? Monyhan, owing to his politics, is not likely to secure the favor of the commission, it 1s said. Whatever may be the action of the commission regard- ing the men on the force, it 18 regar as certain that they will not consider th u}vvoimment of a republican at the head of the police asimproper. Besides, it is claimed that Monyhan has no especial abilities to fit him pre- eminently for the place. ‘‘He has been identified with the detection of criminals and not with a metropolitan police force such as we will have in Omaba,’ said an old police otlicer, who 18 not a candidate for any place himself, last evening. “It will not require so much a man who is sharp and shrewd as one who is of reputable, established char- acter and who has some knowledge of how strictly he needs to keep the whole force in hand besides allowing each man to feel that he is an oflicer for the city and must not be an arresting machine e ho other candidates are Thomas Pier- ronet, Captain Fitzgerald and John But- ler. Each has friends and some capa- bilities, o Charged With Cruelty to an Infant. Ayoung and pretty woman named Jen- nie Lynn spent the night in the Central police station, where she was taken by Special Officer Clark, of the humane so- ciety. She s charged with cruelty to a three months old baby which she took from the poor farm when it was two days old and which she has cared for sinc The specified acts of cruelty are pinching the child until it is black ana blue, hiting it, and slapping it severely. She endeav- ed to secure her release last even- ing, but Judge Stenberg exacted $200 bonds, which she was unable to give. To a reporter as well as to the police of- ficials the woman denied having pur- posely hurt the baby. She said: *“‘[love her as I love myself. My husband has been sick several weeks and I was down- hearted, and so whensshe (meaning the baby) eried I ulappud he! er little legs; but I didn’t pinch her nor bite her. I wouldn't harm a ha@r"of her head. love her as well as if she was my own chiid.” Then the prisoner cried and the hardened newspaper man had business elsewhere, If the woman did what she is accused of she oughg to be under ar- vest. But it don't seefnnatural. An Unfortunate Lady. Mrs. J. F. Ahlquist, wife of the well- known hardware merchant, is an object of solicitude by not only, her family but also the neighbors whe geside in the vi- cinity of her residencey gn Twenty-third street near Cass, SingasJanuary the un- fortunate lady has baer¥ suffering from mental aberration caused by the shock inflicted by the death of a little daughter. Last evening she ran out of her house and made such a disturbance on the street that an officer was telephoned for. She was induced to return to her home with some ditliculty. Her hallucination is that someoue 15 endeavoring to poison her and,she refuses to eat, having in eon- sequence become greatly emaciated. Her nervous difliculty increases, as is natural, with the loss of physical powers. She will probably be taken away for perfect rest and constant treatment. Tribute to the Government. The revenue ecollections yesterday amounted to $8,337.85. Some cases of evasion of the revenue law are bemng in- vestigated by special agents in Dakota, and may bring forth some interesting developments, GETTING INTO N QUARTERS, The Fire Ohief and the City Offices to Soon be at the Exposition Annex, The days of climbing the hill from Fifteenth street up to the old city hall are nearly over, so far as business at that particular place is concerned. The of- fices of the city dignitaries and the cen- tral station cells sre approaching com- pletion at the annex. The superintendent of public buildings, city marshal and chief of the fire department will be able to got into their new quarters this week, and next week the jail will be in shape for the accommodation of guests as will algo be the police court. The councilmen appreciate their new uarters, probably as highly as do any of the city ofticials. Their hall 1s roomy and well ventilated, It gives seating room for 250 spectators, which will be also appreciated by the public. Upon occasions of interest, especially, those who are present will have room to sit down and breathe at the same time, which has been impracticable for some time. The exposition annex as a cily hall is & decided improvement. The Omaha Motor Company. A mecting of the OUmaha Motor com- pany was held at the oftice of Dr. S. D. Mercer yesterday afternoon. The meet- ing was with closed doors. At its con- clusion a member said that they had de- cided to go ahead with laying the track until stopped legally. What effect the canvass of the vote by the council last evening, which showed the defeat of their franchise with the others, will have it is not possible to say. Base Ball Notes. The Omahas left 1ast evening for Hast- ings and will play three consecutive games there this week. Brimblecon, Bandle and O'Leary remain here.

THE QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR. The Visit of an American and What He Saw at Her Majesty's Court. With uncovered head I was escorted across the court-yard to a_large arched doorway, says Lieutenant Shufeldt of the United States army, describing in the \'outh‘x Companion a_vyisit to the queen of Madagascar. Under its arch I was met by a handsome young man dressed in white uniform similar to that of the Austrian guards ang top boots and spurs. He whispered to me that he was “Adri- anisa-twelve-honors-ofticer of the palace and aide-de-camp of her majesty.”’ He led me into the audience room, a very large apartment called the ‘“‘throne room.” A full length painting of Queen Victoria hung facing the door, and on all sides of the audience room were vor- traits of the dead sovereigns of Mada- ascar, From halt way up the walls to the ceiling on all sides of the room were large mirrors, and the floor was of high!y polished wood. ‘Lo the left, as I entered, were ranged the ladies-in-waiting of the court; to the right the great oflicials of state, officers of the army, and high civil dignitaries of the kingdom. In two ranks in front of the throne stood the princes of the blood T oyal. ‘Tha court ladies wore Parisian dresses of almost every date and color, whi the men wore gorgeous umforms of a most every nation and branch of service. The scene was certainly dazzling in color and novelty. With *‘Adrianisa” I stood in front of the ranks of the princes of the blood bowed low, and on raising my eyes saw a high throne, with steps on its three sides, covered with crimson velvet. From the four corners of the throne gilded pillars supported a crimson can- opy, under which was seated a slight, light-complexioned and beautiful girl, whose steady, xuiet glance never turned itself to me, but seemed steadily directed at the other end of the great room. If was Ranavolona 111, the girl queen ot Madagascar. e THE LICK OBSERVATORY. Frogress of the Work—Work Which the Trustees Have Yet to Do.
