Capable of covering 600 miles in six days he has not labored very hard to cover the 400 miles which will be given to his credlt to-night.

This evening the price of admission will be 50 eents for the first floor and 25 cents for the gallery. The contest will close to-night at 12 o'clock. O'Leary On His Muscle. At 13:30 o'clock this morning at the expo- sition building Dan O’ Leary objected to the scoro glven Herriman, and claimed that the scorer had pushed the latter pedestrian two miles ahead of his rightful distance. The scorer replied that he hadn’t done anything of the kind, To this (' Leary responded that the scorer was a lfar and a thief, and when the scorer returned the compliment, Jumped on the stage with a chair. The scorer wasn’t looking for that kind of a lap to be made and ran behind the board. At this Juncture Jerry Murphy got hold of O’Leary and led him to his dressing room. Then he undertook to give the doughly pedestrian some advice and O'Leary heeded it by knock- ing Murphy off his chair. Then Dan grabbed the wine bottle, drank off its contents, and threw the bottle at Murphv. Manager Schriver appeared on the scene at this™ juncture and quieted matters, O'Leary Imme«llnlelr resumed the track and was off as if his little break had refreshed him as much as a twelve-hour sleep. The race for second place Is now close betwecn O’Leary and Herriman, and each vows that he will'stay on the track continuously until midnight. Leavenworth Defeats Hastings.

The Future of the Boat Club. 1t seems to be understood among the mem- bers of the Omaha Rowing club that they Can never expeet to accomplish the object of their assoclation in Cut-Off lake. There are two feet more of water there now than ever before, and yet the weeds come Up 80 “high a8 to. make it impossible to row: through them. In the opinion of Mr. Hudson at least $2,000 would ba required to dredge the lake, and that, per- haps, would have its effect but for a couple of years, when the sane expense would again liave to be {ncurred. The financial condition of the club is not such as to warrant this riodical outlay. When there is a cer- alnty of a motor line to Lake Manawa, which fact will be determined in a few days, the club will decide as to whether or not it Wwill build its house at that place. Shooting Practice, To-day and Monday there will be a gen- eral practice of the Omaha Gun and Le- fevreclubs at the new grounds, by way of preparation for the forthcoming tournament.

CHICAGO, June 10.—The attempt of the Bricklayers union to arbitrate the differences with employers has failed. The bosses this afternoon declined to arbitrate, and the end of the lockout is lp}mranlly as far away as ever.

AFTER A VERY BUSY SESSION The Lutheran Synod Will Reach an Ad- Journment This Af.crnoon. THE BIG WORK OF YESTERDAY A Souvenir of Omaha—~John follen- der’s Death—Hock 1sland Ma; nates — Contractor Fan- ning Talke—Local. The Morning Session. The morning session opened with devotional services under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Ort, the president. The con- eideration of business began at half past nine o’clock. The board of education was authorized (o draw upon the treas- ury of the genmeral synod for funds needed in the execution of their work The chairmen of the several delegations were instructed to oall the attention of their synods to the importance of raising the money needed for this purpose. Rev. J. D. Severinghaus read a report of the condition and work of the recently established German theological seminary at Chicago, Ill. During the past two years this institution has sent out ten young men into the ministry. The re- ceipts of the seminary treasury were 1,348.08. The report answermg inquiries of the hymnbook publishing committee was discussed by Rev. Dr. Baugher, Rev. Dr, Billheimer and Mr. J. W. Rice ‘These inquirtes arose by reason of the fact that a recent edition” of the Sunday school hymn book contained the apos- tles' creed with difierent punctuation from that found in the book ot worship. An amicable difference of opinion ex- isted between the hymnbook committec and the Sunday school hymnbook com- mittee, and they desired the synod to de- fine the authority of the standing com- mittee, The decision was that all publications concerning the doctrinal teachings of the church must first be approved by the general synod. The hymnbook publishing committec was declared to have no au thority to alter or amend the subject mat- ter prepared by any other standing com- mittee until so ordered by the general synod. A proposition from the United synod of the south asking for the nl)pointmum of a committee to act with a similar com- mittee on their part to secure not only a common service, but a common hymn book, was referred to the standing com- mittee on common arder of service. Rev. E. J. Wolf, D.D,, read the report of the committee on the re-establishment of the office of deaconess, declarcd that this oftice has the sanction of the apostles and the approval of the ~ early churceh, in which tho- deaconesses exer- cisea the functions of this oftice. The committee did sce. their way clear to authorize its immediate restoration in the churches, but they recommended con tinued investigation of the subject, which should be reported” upon again at the next convention. The report was adopted and the com- mittee continued with the addition of Rey. J. H. Harpster-of Canton, O. Rev. Dr. Baugher presented a resolu- tion that the general synod having no%®r- gan for the publication of its views ex- cept its own official minutes, wishes it distinctly understood that for whatever else is published by editors and contribu- tors, the individual writers alone are re sponsible. 5 The report on correspondence with other ecclesiastical bodies showed that fractional relatious exist with othcr de- nominations. The committee on Lutheran union had accomplished nothing and desired to be discontinued, which petition the synod granted. The resolutions appended to the home mission report which had not been previ- ously acted on were considered. The one recommending the appropriation of §45,- 000 for the home missions during the next two years was adopted. The dis- cussion on the remainder of the report occupied the time until the hour for ad- journment. 2 The iuflomn'f standing committees were announced: On Deaconesses—Rev. G. N. Wenuer, Rev. A, C. Wedckind, Rev. E. J. Wolf, D, D., and Rev. J. H. Harpster. Torevise order of business of the gen- eral synod—Rev. W. H. Dunbar, Rey. A. S. Hartman, Rev. H. S. Cook. On Foreign Correspondence—Rev.

Rumple, esq. n of Formuls of Government— Rev. W. M. Baum, D.D., Rev. C. S, Al- bert, 8. D. Schmucker, esq. AFTERNOON SESSION. Rev. T. F. Reeser, of Polo, Il., made the opening prayer. ‘The consideration of the remaining” resolution in the home mission report was resumed and the en- tire report - adopted. The unfimished business of the publication society claimed attention, and resolutions of the report of that board, which were unfav- orable to the publication of a Lutheran eyclopedia were still further discussed by Key. Sylvanus Stall and Bev. T. W. Con- rad, D.D. Dr. Conrad was in favor of publishing the work because it 18 needed by our families and ministers on general princi- ples. Any church needs such a work. he Lutheran most of all, beeause of its age and numbers and the numerous countries in which she is found. Also be- cause the use of so many languages in this country and the rapidly increasing anglicised population arising from this source. Other cyclopedias and theologi- cal dictionaries misrepresent the Luther- an church, and to publish a eyclopedia of our own is the only way to prevent the Rcrpct.u:xtl’on of these mistakes. ‘he doctor ave many in- stances of how?” Whe had ~ often been obliged to correct these misappre- hensions in his association with leading men in other churehch. He hoped that the timidity manifested by some of the brethren would not be felt by all, Inasmuch as under the instruction of the society the board had gone on and had prepared a plan for the work, a halt shouid not be call at this time. The book might not! pay immenhntulr, but we need books that do not pay. He referred to the other great works, such as “Schmidt’s Dogmatik,” that had not brought great money returns, but were still of incalculable yakie to the church. He went onto say that few men pos- sessed the necessary qualifications to be the editor. Providegce sometimes brings such men forth. Fouryears ago I would not have known where tc tind a man fit for this work. A man who is put upon the track will never leave it until he comes successfully to the conclusion of the work. Here he pointed to Rev. ;{ 5 vanus Stall, giving the reasons why Mr. Stall would be able to obtain the co- o{nrution of leading men in all branches of the church, and saying farther: W hat if it does cause great expense?! We have the money, and this would be the best use we can make of it. Do not be afraid to venture. Where is your fmth and our hope? The publication society is {hs only one that is able to do this work. A bold venture is half the victory. Rev, Mr. Stall said that he had no per- sonal interest in the matter. He did not know whether he could accept the posi- tion of editor, and wished the decision to be reached without anyone being influ- enced IBrthmkmg of him. Rev. Pr. Baum replied to Dr. Conrad, calling attention to the fact that during the sessions of the synod, whenever there a disposition to object to the action of any board. sober second thought con- vinced the synod that the board was right. They had given mature thought to these matters, and therefore, follow- ing this precedent, the action of the board should be sustained. After further remarks by Mr. Stall, Mr, H. 8. Bauer, the superintendent of the publication hnusc, and Mr. Joseph Stulb, reasurer of the society, the resolutions were approved and the entire report adopted. ‘The committee on revision of constitu- tion of the publication society presented their report, which embodied a new con- stitution, which was discussed article by article. ‘The discussion was anterrupted by the secretary of the board of church exten- sion, Rev, J. C. Zimmerman, who an- nounced that since the general synod had been in session the board had come into I)olsosflon of church sites in the city of Jmaha valued at $10,500. Two located 1n Shull's addition, valued at $3,000, were donated by the Shull heirs, and one in Leisenring’s addition, valued at £2,500, was the gift of P. S. Lemsenring, M. . The members of the genera! synod re- ceived this announcement with gfeat ap- plause.

The resolutions asked that the general synod endorse the college and recommend it to the support of the church and synods on its territory.

Smith, There remains on the docket several items of business to be transacted, but it is probable that a final adjournment will be reached to-da A Souve of Omaha. Yesterday afternoon the members of the general synod all received a beauti- ful souvenir of their visit to this city, with the compliments of the Omaha board of trade, enclosed in a tastefully printed en- velope, was a handsome sheet containing an address from the board of trs The address began with the words, “The gate city of the west welcomes the visit of your illustrious pody," and closed with the wish, “May the growth of your or ganization be coextensive with the ro- Quirements of the groat west.” The sig- natures of the officers and directors of the board of trade, together with the seal of the corporation, were appended to the address, “The inside of the sheet con- tained statistics of the population, growth and business of the city of Omaha, A Sunday Rest, This morning at 10 o’clock a number of gentlemen who have been in attend- ance at the Lutheran general synod will start on the B. & M. railroad for n fow day's visit to Denver and the Rocky mountams.

Thoy will all attend church at the Lutheran Mis- sion church in that vlace, and after rest- ing until midnight their car will be at- tached to the train arriving in Denver on Monday morning.

In the United States circuit court yester- day morning the case of Ayres vs. the Sloman brothers was on hearing before Judge Dundy. DISTRICT COURT. Henry A. Iddings commenced suit yes- terday morning against J. A. Horbach, Saliie llurhack and Sophia Ran. He claims that the defendants filed in 1850, upon the northwest quarter of see. 15, township 15, rszn 18, by virtue of the preemption actof 1841, Thisland, at that time, as shown by the maps, was platted as the Omaha L‘i!y com- any's addition to Omaha, t is alleged that Horbach caused the stakes of the platting to be pulled and caused the same to be replatted as Horbach's first addition to Omaha, which is now located north of Nicholas and east of Eighteenth streets. It includes lots 8ix, seven, eight, nine and ten, of the Omaha City company's property, which now comprises lots llxirli' thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three, ot forbach's ad- dition. Several alleged 1llegal transfers were made, notably to a man named Teavitt and another named Rafforty in- stead of to James C. Megeath. Finall the property wasreconveyed to Megeat! and now the plaintiff asks that Horbach be compelled to disclose the identity of lots six, seven, ecight, nine, ten and be prevented from disposing of the same until the matter can be adjudicated in the ccurts. An important suit was filed vesterday afternoon in the district court by Parke Godwin, in favor of Samuel I. Valentine, one of the clerks of the auditor’s oflice of the Union Paciflc and against the city of Omabha. It is for $15,000 damages. Val- entine who is a young man,has been dis- abled for life from injuries sustained by adefective sidewalk on the corner of Farnam and Twenty-seventh streets. At that intersection on the night of the last 17th of March, there was a dangerous hole in the side- walk at the place mentioned, occasioned by the partial removal of a plank a short time before. In going home that night, Valentine stepped on the end of the plank and was thrown forward, on his side, oyer the curb mto the street. He sustamed an injury in the right ankle and the same has now extended to his thigh, and surgical experts claim that it will result in Kermlnont injury. Itis al- leged that the dangerous ‘walk was known to the city and that one of the city officers had been of- ficially notified of its existence. Val- entine is now compelled to use crutches. Dr. Sloman’s case against Jeweler Jonasen on the corner of Thirteenth and Harney stroots was cemmenced yester- day mornlnnbhelom Judge Grofl. ~ Jona- sen was robbed some time ago. He had Dr. Sloman suspected of being im- plicated in the robbery. The latter now brings suit to recover $10,000 damages. S. 8.

Fanning Says He is Saving the City $1,1,00 Every Month. “I want to say, in_answer to some- thing the BEE published a few days ago,"’ said Charles Fanning, of C. E. Fanning & Co., yesterday, that the people of this city do not know that we are saving money for them in the sweeping of the streets of the city. They don't know, but it is a fact, just the same. The BEE says our bill for last month’s sweeping 1,700 onght to be investigated by the board of public works. If it should be investi gated, this is what will be found. We are sweeping 1,881,200 squarce yards in four sweepings. This costs the city $1,674.26, The last contract swept only 1,179,000 square yards, nearly 700,000 square yards less than we sweep now, at a cost to the city of $1,768.50, or $04.24 more than we get for sweeping 700,000 square yards more than he ever swept. On a basis of 1,881,200 square yards, the saving to the city per month is $1,147.54, or #13,770 per year. And then we have suffered more from dirt upon the street from careless grad- ers and builders than any contractor ever did before, and we bave had no as- sistance from the city in the enforcement of ordinances to keep the dirt from being s0 disposed of.” BROWNELL COMMENCEMENT.

THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL A Detroiter Thinks it Will Be Re- pealed. Philo Parsons, of Detroit, is at the Paxton. He 1s accompanied by hi daughter, Miss Parsons, whose first visit has recently been made to the Pacific coast. Mr. Parsons is interested some- what in Omaha realty, and believes i the future of the Gate city. He said: “The best indieation of the prospects of your eity is in the faces of men whom I see in your hotels. I sce gentlemen here from every quarter of the country, and I find that nearly all of them who arg known at home as careful investors and shrewd business men are placing their money in real estato. The reiult 1s they will improve their properties if enough improvements are not made by persons who permanent Iy reside there. They have bought to sell,’of course, but they will not allow their property to lie unime proyed if the annot scll at a profit without the erection of buildings. Whoen you get brick and stone structures on property it has something more than speculative value. There is tangible worth about it which cannot be taken There is also the fact that for ry brick or stone or stick of timber somebody’s money has been paid to soma and every contractor has paid somebody §2.50 or #3.50 per day which has quickly found its way into the circu- lating medium of the city." Mr. Parsons believes that the inter- state commerce law will be moditied b; the coming congress. He hasfound such radical opposition to it on the Pacific slope, and especially to the long and short haul clause, which opposition per- vades the entire west, that he concludes it will be impossible to retain that clause. The Rock Island Magnates, R. R. Cable, president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, three direc tors of the road, and W.R.Wilcox, tirst vice president of the Jacksonville, Talahas. see & Key West railroad, were the passen. gers of a'special train which arrived in Omaha at 11 o'clock last night. The train was maac up of two coaches, being the private car of Mr. Cable and also tho private car of Mr. Wilcox. The train alted at the depot but two minutes, and proceed on its rapid run to Chicago. The party have ted Kansas City and Den- ver only. They made a rapd run from Denver, leaving there yesterday morn ing. The train is provided withall need- ful accommodations for a long trip, curr)‘ing both day and night crews. Mr. Cable stated that the Rock Island roads in the west were doing an in creasing business, and that cverything was found by the pirectors to be in first- class shape. NOTES. The break in the track of the Omaha road above Blair, where 1,000 feot was washed out by the recent heavy storm, has been repaired, but some anxioty was entertained last evening regarding the eflect of the copious rainfall of yesterday. A meeting of the freight agents was held in this city yesterday, Among the attendants were - Messrs.” Monroe of the Union Pacific, Miller of the B. & M., Garrett of the Missouri Pacifie, and At- Wwood of the Rock lsland's Kunsas lines. The object of the meeting was a sottle- ment of live stock tarifls on & basis satis- factory to ali the line ixcursion to York reat auction sale of lots for the efit of York college of the Nebraska Wesleyan university. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of sale of college lots at York during commencement exercises, June 13th to 18, on page 8. he special auction sales to be the 15th and 16th. Now 1s the time to investigate. Consider and determine where to send your boys and girls to school the coming” year. We hope that parents having children whom they desire to educate, and thus leave them a legacy far better than money or lands, will” try and attend the comin exercises of the college fxdz and and ¢ for themselves as to the managemeut and efliciency of the school. York offers special advantages as a place for the education of young men and young ladies, Among these are low rates of tuition and boarding which is an item of economy we should all recognize. ‘Thon there are no saloons within twenty- five miles; and this is an argument which will not fail to have a great influence with parents having Lkoys in school, York is also a city of churches as well as schools. Its church buildings are large and fine and well filled. The M. E. church has a membership of over six hundred and fifty. The whole com- munity is always ready to help the stu- dents, and throw around them a con- tinued good influence in morals and manners, Heretofore York has been somoewhat restricted in regard to its railroad ad- vantages, but with three new trunk lines which will be in operation by the begin- ning of the next school year, there is hardly another town in Nebraska so centrally located, that has better rail- road faciiities. President R. N. McKaig with the eflicient aid of the other mem- bers of the present faculty have done effectual work for the past year. He has also by hisenergy and enthusiasm, helped the board of trustees to raise the debt which has been accumulating on the college, and secure much for an _endow- ment; among the latter is the 120 acres of land which will now become a part of the city. p These lots are finely located on high ground and within a” few blocks of the college campus. Again we sy, we ad- vise all who can to visit York, attend the commencement exercises and purchase some lots, for by so doing they can save their excursion fare and entertainment, and obtain property which will rapidly increase in value apd also helps to endow one of the best educational institutions in the state —— After the Kenegades, BENSON, Arlz, June 10,—Last pight at dark Lieutenant Johnson was only half an hour behind the reds, but during the evening the Indians threw him off the track.
