THE POLICE JUDGE HEARING, Yesterday the council committee, Messrs. Br , Billingsby and Pace, as- sembled themselves together at the coun- cil chamber to hear:the evidence in the chiarges preferred by certain izens ' against Police Judge Parsovs. The par- s i3 110 making the charges were represented by \h:s»rs. Courtnay and Sgrodes, and Mr. C. E. Magoon appeared for Judge Parsons. The specilic charges against the police judge are that at sundry and divers times in the year 1886 and spring months of 1857 he levied finés upon cer- tain gamblers and assistants and that the fines so collected monthly were in some instances wholly, in other instances in part, never made a matter of record on the judge's docket and never were paid overto the prover parties to receive fines collected from such sources. In support of these charges the parties bringing the swt filed u list of specitied times aud amountt not accounted for and had these tigures compiled by an expert who has been investigating the police judge's docket for several weeks. The other charges against the pol udge were that fines collected in cases heard by him outside of city business haa never been paid over to the county treasurer as the law requires done in ten days, and the expert raported something like $200 in fines of this character shown on the docket but not turned over to the county treasurer, At the time the expert dis- red this fact the jmlgc aid into the treasury a portion of the back funds and the BEE was informed that the balance of the back funds were paid yesterday to the county treasurer, How the council committee will construe the restitution of the funds as they! accumulated for the past year or co, will be divulged in their findings. At the hearing so far as 1t progressed yesterday, the expert, Mr. White, who went through the docket of the court, was the principal witness and his testimony was in regard to what the docket shows and its failure to show records of tines that the complamants state were collected from them by the judge. he examination was only well under way when the hcaring was ad- Journed until Tuesday. AT THE STATE HOUSE. Governor Thuyer was at home at the itive office yesterday after several absence in the southern part of the state. Charles O. Bates, of Beatrice, adjutant on the stafl of Brigadier General Colby, was at the state house vesterday looking atter the preliminaries of the coming state militia encampment, Articles incorporating the bank of Nelson located at Nelson, Nuckol: county, were filed with the sccretary yesterday. The capital stock of the bank is $50,00¢ Articles 1ncorporating the McCook Telephone company were also filed, Capital stock $10,000, with Sam L. Green and others incorporators. TO INVITE GROVER.

LI AMUSEMENTS, HAVERLY'S MASTODONS. Haverly's masterdons closed their en- gagement at the Boyd Isst night, highly entertaining a large audience. The most noticeable feature of the programme was the equilibristic act of Hilton, the chimax of which was bis picking his handkerchief oft the stand upon which he had placed two chairs on the highest rung of the back of each of which his legs rested. While thus situated, he grad- ually bent backward a distance of nearly nine feet and picked up the handkerchief as ubove indicated. It was a dangerous act and was most skillfully performed. GERMAN THEATRE, This evening there will be an excellent performance given by the Baureis & Puls German dramatic company. The piece will be **Schuster,’’ with an accom- panying moral of “Shoemaker, stick to your last.”’ The piece abounds in musical Seléctions and will introduce all the lead- ing members of this now popular com- pany. ; Mr. John Brandt, well known as the late manager of the Stadt theatre, and the man who has done a great deal in building up the German drama in this city, has returned from his European trip with s brother-in-law. He was absent about two montbs. Mr. Brandt is in the best of health and speaks in the happiest terms of the pleasure which his trip afforded him, Mr. August Uhlig, one of the best nem- bers of Baureis & Puls’ German dramatic company, has severed his connection with that association and joined the Ger- man company as McVicker's theater in Chicago. He left on Wednesday last to spend a few weeks at Columbus with relatives. He will then go to Chicago to open his engagement, which will con- tinue throughout the’ year. Mr. Uhlig has made many friends among the Ger- man people of this city, and his actin, was univerulli\‘{ admired, as much by his associates on the stage as those in front of the footlights. THE OLYMPIC. This theatre was filled again last night, As it has been 80 many times before, thus itensifying the fact that a good variety theatre in thiy city may be sure of draw- ing patronage. The performance was a rich and varied one and was highly en- tertaining till the closing hour, PHOTOGRAPHEKRS WAR. The Trouble between Messrs. Cronyn and Eaton, For some time there has been difficulty between Wm. W. Cronyn and Edric L. Eaton. Both are photographers, and the question between them is in reference to the gallery on Farnam street near Four- teenth. The case has been ventilated in court,jand was published in the BEg from time to time. It seems that Mr. Cronyn, tired of litigation, moved out of the gal- lery a day or soago. Yesterday the rumor was circulating that he had left town. An inspection of the abandoned studio roveals a condition of total wreck within. Every article of furniture and item of apparatus has been removed, and the oeilings, walls and floors look as though some one had been practicing upon them withan axe. On the third foor there re- main thousands of negatives which accu- mulated during Mr. Eaton's years of work. Some of these haye evidently been tossed into & corner, where they lie in & mound of crushed glass, The report was current last evening that Mr, Cronyn had left the city. Somewhat in corroboration of this theory, a call at.us residence. No. 822 South Six- teenth street, failed to discover him.

MODERATE DEMAND FOR MONEY, Currency Sent to the Country for the Shipment of Grain—KRe- sult of Crop News on the Markets. Western Financial Affairs, Cricaao, August 6.—|Speelal Telegram to the BeE. |—Loeal financial affairs remain in about the same condition as noted durinx the past two or three weeks. The demand for money was only moderate from all sources, and the markot was easier in a general way, though interest rates were ded only in special cases. Bankers are well supplied with loanable funds and all parties able to present good collaterals experience no difi- culty whatever in obtaining all the favors asked for. Less money than usual was loaned to pay for grain and provisions deliv- ered on the first of the month, consequently the inquiry fromn the speculative element was limited. Orders from the country for cur- rency were somewhat larger and an increased amountot money was forwarded to grain districts. Lumber dealers have been light borrowers. Wholesale merchants have pre- sented some paper for discount, but chiefly to pay bills of goods received. Some goods for the fall and winter trade are being forwarded to more distant distri- buting districts, Rates of interest were quot- able at 53¢@6 per cent on call and 6@s per cent on time paper, depending on theamount of money required and the standiug of the borrower. Very little paper was presented on the street, and rates of Interest range at 4@7 per cent. Money in eastern financial centers was quite close early in the week, but ruled easier again within the past two or three days, owing to the prospect of the treasury departinent disbursing considerable money in the way of anticipating interest on bonds, Rates of interest ranged at 5@7 per cent. Advices from abroad indicated a little mora activit y in monetary atfairs.

The Bank of Kngland rate advanced to 3 per cent. This 18 partially due to a specula- tive movement in securities in the London murket. New York exchange was in good supnly and the demand was limited, 'Che market ruled dull ana drag- glnu throughout the week. Sales between anks were made at 50@70c (lh(cuunl'yer 1,000, and the market closed easy at (e, Foreign exchange was offered rather freely and the demand was srestricted. Exports of breadstuffs and provisions were moderately free, and shippers sixty ‘hf! documentary bills on London were dull and dragging. Sales were made at $4.51@4.8114, and the market closed easy at $4.50@4.50'. The New York stock market exhibited more activity during the week just closed, but the feeling was somewhat unsettled and prices ruled irregular. Early In the week there was more pressure to sell many of the leading stocks, and the wmarket ruled weak and prices declined inaterially, At the de- cline there was a little more inclination to purchase and prices rallied again, and closed comparatively steady. ‘The “shorts” bought rather freely at the declines,whichassisted to some extent fin checking the ward tendency of the market. street operators traded (l\lile treely and out- side spoeculators traded only moderately. Chicago parties limited their operations to small quantities. Advices from abroad in- dicated an easy feeling and lower prices in that quarter early, but showed more steadi- ness near the close. The earnings of the leading railroads are not quite so large as during the past month or two, Sales on the ork stock hange for the week ag- greizated 2,166,000 shares, ‘The leading grain and provision markets attracted considerable attention dyring the week just closed, notwithstanding "the un- usually hot weather and the fact that it Is the dull season of the year and the time when heavy operators enjoy a season of vacation and rest. To a great extent, the course of prices has been regulated by the report of the weather condition in the south and west, A GUTTED TREASURY. A New York Syndicate Cleans Out an Ohio Railroad. CINCINNATI, August 6.—[Special Telegram to the Brk.)—It has become known to a lim- ited circle that the treasurry of the Cincin- nati, Hanulton & Dayton railroad ‘*has been completely gutted” under the Ives-Stay- ner management. The words quoted are from a stal ent made by one of the road’s directors. Christopher Meyer, of New York, when asked as to the amount that had been abstracted from the treasury, replied that in cash and securities of branch lines, it would probably exceed $3,000,000. The money which Ives and Stayner had thus raised had been used, he said, in déals in which they had been engaged. ‘the meeting Tast evening was called by local stockholders. A resolution was adopted settiig forth that the new: }mners ave oohteined statewments which have injured the “road's securities In the ovinion of the public, and declaring that a committee ouglit toche appointed to make an investigation.; Such committee was ap- inted. The plan finally decided upon was 0 retire Stayn@r from the position of presi- dent, and Mr. Lves from the position of vice president, and to vacate the seats of both Lese gentlemen in the board, as well as_the seat of one other Now York man. 1f Ives yields and retires, taking Stayner and the other New York man, who "has not been named, with him, all will be well and good. t he retuses to withdraw there will be a light. Latedast wight Lves had not decided upon hig course, He snid that to retire under such circumstances would mean finan- clal ruin to him, He turther said he shoukd be able to return to the company all that it may be found he is in debt to it. No confi- dence was placed in this statement. C!

No action grains. Dry and hot weather in 'was taken on the pronosition to release the Ft. Wayne road and guarantee its stock, all that being postpoued until the present com- plications are settled. President Stavner was not present, but sent a telegram declin- ing to resign. NEW York, August 9.—The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton stock was quoted at the corn belt of the west has retarded the growth of that cereal and Inflicted considera- ble damage in some sections, though frequent showers in some portions of the country tributary to the Chicago market have tended to revive the plant fo some extent; and, while the prospects of an unusually heavy crop, as anticipated six weeks ago. are out of the qnesticn, there is little doubt but a fair crop in the aggregate will be secured. Re- ports relative to the yield of small grain are somewhat conflicting, but the majority lean to the conclusion that the rro uction of wheat, oats, rye and barley will barely reach the expectations of one month or six weeks Ago, though the quality is cencrally good. Foreign markets have shown considerable weakness, yet the low prices ruling for flour and wheat have encouraged mer- chants to purchase rather freely in a quiet way. The eastern markets have ruled easy and have not sympathized much with advanced prices for some articles gained here. The shipping demand for both grain and provisions has been quite active, though some of the purchases were not made on the 0{)&" market. 'I'ne movement of grain to the leading markets, both east and west, was moderately free and shippers quite liberal, considerable grain being distributed througly the eastern and middle states. The stocks of new grain are gradually enlarging, The supply of provisions is moderately large, but somewhat lighter than a year ago. The recelpts of hogs have been lighter atall the principal markets of the west, and the quality is not as good as previously re- r(lllml. The packing of the wast continues 0 decrease as compared with last year's re- turns. The arrivals of cattle are quite large, with prices tavoring buyers. §1.20at the close yesterday; at the close to-day showed a decline of 70 points and was quoted at 50, NEwW YORK, August 6.—1t was reported to-day that Henry S.

Up 10 the hour of closing this aftarnoon no as- xl'finmsllt had been filed in the county clerk’s office.
