- P SIXTEENTH YEAR. THE OMAHA DALY BEE OMAHA. COINCIDENT WITH KISSANE. Tyrer's Expose the Rensation of the Hour at the National Capital, ANOTHER MAN WITH A RECORD. Washington People Protest Against the Proposed Elevated Railroad— The President to Take Another Jaunt—Capital News. The Tyrer Expose, roN,June 12.—| Special Telegram The eensation of the hour is of the criminal record of the vice president and manager of the American Telephone company. The history of this man has been known to a number of news- paper men in Washington for some tima, but as he seemed to be engagea in legitmate business there was no disposition on their part to Injure him or his prospects. 1t was only after it became known that the company was engaged in question- able operations that it was declded to print the truth about the organizer. Events have shown that the story came out just in the nick of time. The local papers today are fuil of the affair and the offices along ‘“‘News- paper Row” have been beseiged by scores of Rovernment clerks and others who have either Invested or who were about to do so. The alluring circulars prepared by Tyrer were well timed. They were distributed among department clerks Just before the sami-monthly pay day and it is learned that a great many employes of the government proposed to invest a part of thelr salaries on the 15th, The publications made yesterday and to-day will doubtless check them. There has been a ereat deal of talk about libel suits and last night one of the directors of the company annonnced that one of the local papers to-lay would printa thorough vindication of the character of the accused. Instead of a vindication the paper referred to printed half a column which is as severe as any of the storles which have been sent. out. ‘Tyrer cannot be found to-day. Itis learned that hetook a night boat to Norfolk last evening, and it is not likely that he will be present at the meet- ing of the directors whick has been called for to-morrow morning. Major Butterworth, president of the company, has been tele- graphed for,and will doubtless be here in the morning. It is reported that there are sev- members of congress who have it by the oily tongue of Mr. Tyrer. ator Sabin, of Minnesota, who knew of his prison record, had a great deal of confi- dence in hisefforts to retrieve his past, and it1s said that he encouraged Tyrer with money as well as good ice. Washington's vated Road. WAsmNGTON,June 12.—| Special Telegram tothe Ber.|—It is stated that efforts will be made this winter to induce congress to grant a franchise to an elevated railroad company, and that it is the purpose of the corporation to put in operation a complete system of ele- vated transportations. I have mentloned the scheme to a number of property owners here and politicians who will have to do with it when the mgtter comes before congress, 1f it ever does, and with one accord they speak diseouragingly of the project. ‘There is no place in the country where it is so diflicult to et the right to occupy the streets as in Wash- ngton, It will be remembered that a very able attempt was made by well known citi- zens to get a charter through congress last winter for the construction of a cable rail- way, and that it failed. People are com- plalning that the streetsare already too much cut up and disfigured by railroads and tele- graph companles to put all their wires under- grouud. With this kind of sentiment it is not at all likely that the property owners will subinit to having the streets and avenues dis- figured by elevated railways. Gossip About Gould, WASHINGTON, June 12.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEr.|-—The presence of Jay Gould's yacht in the Potomac last week created something of a sensation, It was re- ported at first that he was ill and had come out to get an airing. When he and his fam- ily made an appearance in a carriage on the streets, however, this 1upression vanished and then it was reported that Mr. Gould was here to do something with the inter-state commission and had the stock market and railroad consolidations in view. Now that Mr. Gould has sailed down the Atlantic coast it transpires that he was only on his little outing and saw no person ‘about business while in the national capital. It has been surmised that Mr, Gould will have an in- terest in the new hotel about to go up at Fortress Monroe, but of thaj uoIlipg desniio <4 by lsaracds Cleveland Wants More Exerc W ASHINGTON, June12.—| Special Telegram tothe BEr|—Gentlemen who have talked with the president since his return from Saranac belleve that he will soon be off again on an- other jaunt.

It was peculiarly fitting that the ceremony should take place at this historical associa- tion, for Miss Revere is a descendant of one of the oldest families of New England. She is the daughter of Major Paul J. Revere, who was killed in the war of the rebeilion, and ho was a erandson_of the famous Paul Revere of revolutionary fame, the hero ot Longfellow’s poem.

This excess of temperature has been the greatest in the corn and wheat regions of the northwest, where the average daily excess ranged above normal from 4 to 8 degrees, conditions most favorable in the present stage of crops. During the past six weeks, which have been important, especially for the grain growing districts, the temperature has been steadily in excess over the corn and wheat regions, which must have been miost beneficial to crops. Rainfall— During the week the rainfall has been slightly deficient in agricultural districts, ex- cept from western Pennsylvania southeast- ward to Arkansas and the” Indian territory, where a slight excess has fallen. Showers have been numerous and well distributed save in a few sections of local hmportance only, General remarks—Over all agricul- tural distriets the weather of the week apparently has been favor. able for {mportant crops, & marked deticiency of temperature occurring in local sections of secondary importance as regards ataples. uth of the thirty-ninth parallel, Wwhero presumably grain harves general, the weather has been favorable for that work, as no general rains have fallen, or high winds occurred, while sunshine has been at or above the lverure.

THE CASHIER TOO VIGILANT, One of the Criminals Caught, and Their Kit of Crooked Tools Falls Into the Hands of the Officers, Attempted Burglary at Cortland, CORTLAND, Neb,, June 12.—([Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—An attempt was made last night to burglarize the State bank at this place, which resulted in the capture of one of the burglars. Yesterday, when the Union Pacific freight from the north arrived, two young men got off and stopped at the Com- mercial hotel, where they registered as Charles Chase, of Nebraska City, and Francis Canen, of Grand Island, Neb., one man reg- istering for both. Last night about 12 o'clock Mr. Ballard, the cashier, who sleeps in the bank, was awakened by some one trying the window. Raising up in bed he frightened them so they fl ed, lcaving their lantern Inside. Mr, Ballard gave the alarm, and in searching found the tools out- side the window. It being very dark, no search was made until this mosning, when by the soft condition of the ground they were easily traced to the old school house, one-half mile south of the town, where they had slept, but had got out early and gone. They had returned toward town and Chase was found at the hotel and arrested and lodged In jail. The other has not yet been, captured but there is no chance for him to get away as several men are close after him. The outfit captured leaves no doubt as to the intentions of the men, the lantern being one of very small size and made expressly for carrying in the pocket. They visited the various stores during the evening, trying to purchase a revolver. ‘The man in custody refused to say anything only that they have no proofs against him.

A Des Moines Judge Says the Whole- sale Separations Must Cease. DEs MOINES, la., June 12.—[Special to the Brg.|—This city has become unenviably con- spicuous for the laxity with which it has treated the marriage relation. Probably it is not the city so much as the courts that should bear the blame. Judge Kavanaugh of the diswrict court of this county has de- termined to call a halt in the rush forgdi yorces on the slight grounds of incompati- bility and other insufficient reasons. He de- livered an opinion yesterday in refusing an application for a decree which contains some sound advice as well as some startling fig- ures. Since January 1, 1557, there have been issued from the clerk's oflice 241 marriage licenses, but durine that time, according to the judge, there have been pending in his couit sixty-four applications for —divorce. Forty-two'of these were commenced since the 1st of January. One-third at least of the decrees granted are immediately followed by second marriages. He declared: ‘“I'his conduct differs from the Utal system not in priuciple but in method,” and public opinion will say he was right. Sixty-four appiica- tions for dlvorce pending in tive months in one court is occaslon enough for comment and serlous reflection. —— An Insect Plaguo, TRENTON, Mo,, June 12.—This town and vicinity has been infested for the past week by an insect, a description of which agrees fully with the #pecies of cantharides, Span- ish fly, as given in the United States dis- pensary, The insects come In perfect Swarms and not only devour vegetation with avidity but their vésicating power on the buman body Is equal fully to cantharides.

SuErMAN.” e A WONDERFUL EMPEROR, An Enghshman's Description of an Audience With Franz Josef, Vienna Dispatch to London Times: The Englishmen who attended this morning’s sudience at the palace obtained an iunsight into the methods by which the emperor of Austria retains such a strong hold over the atfections and loyalty of his subjects. The ante-chamber of the audience roomn was crowded with generals and noblemen who had come to thank his majesty for promo- tions or decorations. But mingling with these were authors, Inventors, professors. widows and orphans seeking pensions, and a number of very poor men and women who had petitions to present, There are few countries in which persons of this last category would ever get a chance of secing their sovereign; but in this empire anybody who has anything reason able to ask of the emperor is sure of an audi- ence, On one or two days a week his majesty receives all comers who have ap- plied to be received, and he recelves them alone. Every applicant takes his turn. A master of the ceremonies opens a dour, the visitor walks in and finds himself face to co with the emperor, who 18 unattended. ‘The door closes, and the petitioner may say to the emperor what he likes.

Only a Very Quiet Business Transacted in Share Speculation. A FEW SENSATIONS DEVELOP. The Public Taken By Surprise By the St. Paul's ' New Departure'—Un- important Movement in Rail- road Bonds—Money Easy, Aniong the Bulls and Bears. New York, June |Special Telegram to the Brg.|—The events of the week fur- nished some of the features of interest in share speculation, but, excepting occasional spurts of activity here and there on the list,business was very quiet, and, in fact, positively dull at intery Something approaching to a sensation was created at the opening by the unexpected announcement of the proposed fssue of £10,000,000 additional St. Paul common stock for the purchase and exten- sion of lines. As everyone knows, the policy of the St. I'aul directors has for a long time been to issue bonds for such purposes, and the sudden departure from this established practice naturally took the public by surprise. It was a dreat card for the professional bears and room traders generally, who were work- ing on the short side of the market, and the most was made of it to bring about a lower range of values, an operation in which somne assistance was received from London, where an unfavorable view was taken of the proceedings. A heavy pres- sure was brought to bear against the stock, and subsequently, in turn, upona number of other leading shares, and for a time a very feverish and unsettled teeling prevailed, sometimes being intensifled by sensational rumors regarding individuals— Gould having been reported verv ill and Em- peror William dead. The impression made on prominent stocks ranged from 1 to 2!¢ points, which, under the circumstances, was not wholly satistactory to the bears, some- thing more having been expected from the efforts put forth. “As the week drew to a close it was evident that insiders had sold St. Paul in advance, and they covered with stock which the street afterward sold. In fact quite a little bull feeling was engineered by Armour, who bought freely, and then came out very effectively in defense of the new issue, This started a general covering movement all along the line, and the market rallied, some stocks recovering partially, others wholly, and a few selling higher than before. ‘The fluctuations in the special- ties were confined within a much narrower range than usual of late, and about the only wide change was in St. Paul & Duluth, which first broke 5'¢ and then advauced 6% points, the rise having been due to reports that a compromise had been reached whereby the common stockholders would et something to represent past earnings. The position of individuals is practically un- changed. Tosum up the situation ina few words, it ean be sald that there fs no cam- paign in sight for the immediate future, only such reactions and rallies as nave occurred of late, and the public are anxivusiy waiting for something or somebody to lead the mar- txlct out of its present unsatisfactory condi- on. The movements in railroad bonds were far less important than of late. The changes in the majority of instances were conlined within ‘narrower liwits, aud dcalings were comparatively light. Taken altogether, the issues which declined early in the week sub- sequently rallied, a fact which is partly due to the improvement of the share list.

The Carnivorous MIrute Attacks a Waiter at the Richellen. Sarah Bernhardt and her pet tiger cub “Minette” had a royal time on Thursday afternoon, at the Hotel Richelieu, which was notso pleasant for the other parties con- cerned. After wrestling with the startling and artistic emotional ecstacies of ‘*Fedora,” at the Columbia, Mme. Bernhardt gathered her feline pet in her long, graceful arms, and entering her carriage with Maurice Grau, was driven to the Hotel Richelieu. Here she had ordered for herself and party a sumptuous dioner to vary the monotony of western railroad fare, which was served according to her lavish and expens- ive stes, “'Minette,” the pet infant tiger, was mnot to be overlooked, and the madame, calling the artistic ‘‘chef” of the hotel to her side, ordered a special dish of “consomme and poached eggs” for the snarling littie brute which was attached to her wrist with a golden chain, and_was gaz- ing with hungry eyes at the tempting viands upon the daintily spread table., The accom- modating ‘“chef,” to win the favor of his il- lustrious countrywoman, prepared the “con- somme’ in most delicate fashion, and with his own hands, an honor he seldom voueh- safes to the wealthy patrons of the Michigan avenue hostelry. hile this dish was in preparation the young tiger, with protruding tongue and snapoing eyes, could hardly be restrained from mounting the table and de- vouring the unpronounceable dishes upon which the madame and her party were gayly feasting. When the *‘consonime’ apémlrud in a silver tureen, borne by a trewbling and awe-stricken waiter, named Frank Logel- man, the hunglv young tiger made a spring and fastened his teeth in the arin of the ter- rified attendant, which: caused him to utter a howl of agony and hastily deposit his as- sailant’s dinner on the richly-carpeted floor, This little episode, artistic in its natural gracefulness and_emotional in realization of suffering, diverted the atten- tion of the madame fo) moment, but, find- ing her pet uninjured, she langhingly re- sumed her repast. ‘Tho bitten waiter rushed from the room, and In a short time his wound became so painful that he was put to bed and & lpluwlci‘m summoned to at- tend him, and v ay Le was un- able to perform his duties, Thinking to pacify the madam, Hugo Zieman, the head walter gallantly offered to take charge of Sarah's amiable pet, and as he reached out his hand to take tae chain, a warning “take care,” in madam’s most dramatic tones, was heard, and the terrilied Hugo stepped back just in time to escape the sharp teeth of the snarling animal. This ‘'was enough menagerie for one afternoon, and no one could be induced to offer any further eivili- ties to ungry “Minette,” When train time arrived Sarah gathered up her voluminious wraps and fondly caressing her delightful, though somewhat carnivorous pet, feft the hotel and was driven to the depot without as much as an inquiry after the welfare of the noor fellow who was groaning with pain in another part of the botel. It is said that Zogelman's injuriesare quite serious and blood poisoning is feared, its painful SCRAPPING BOCIALISTS, A Desperate Affray at a Picnic Near Uniontown, N. J.

When Winn ‘returned to the picnic grounds he scaled the fence, but had scarcely done so when the socialists, many of whom were armed with clubs, swarmed around him. Winn drew & revolver, but was disarmed before he could use it and was horribly beaten. When his assallants tnoucht that he had been sufticiently punished lhe?' hurled him bodily over the fence. Willlam P. Willburger, of tha Hoboken police, tried to rescue Winn, but was himself assaulted, ‘The outeries attracted the attention of the crowd on the base ball grounds, and they began hurling stones at the picnickers.
