The New Order of Things to be latroduced by the Railroads To-day. NO MORE FRE!GHT BLOCKADES. What Jobbers and Shippers in Omaha Think of It—Belief That it Will Expedite and Convenience Trafllo. The demurrage regulations which will Ro into effect September 1 on all the rail- roads centering here is not much of a hob-goblin to the business men. Iudeed, with an amazing candor, they admit that circumstances are such that the roads are forced to the adoption of some such plans for their own protection. That this city has suffered repeatedly from a freight blockade, and the responsibility for it placed on the railroads, is a fact that cannot be gainsaid. The charges of demurrage will go into effect September 1, and the charges will be imposed on all cars remaining loaded forty-eight hours after delivery. The business men, however, look at it with- out any upparent fear, and many of them frankly admit that the companies have been imposed upon time out of mind, and cannot be blamed for kicking now. The Howell lumber compuny comes in for a rvund share of abuse, and 18 charged with being the cause of the regulation. It is claimed that this com- pany have had at one time as high as 300 cars in their yard at one time, many of them staying there for nearly sixty days. A reporter for the BEE called on & number of merchants and asked them for the facts of the case. Somo were wary and refused to express themselves, while others talked freely, and with a singular unanimity admitted that they had ¥m- posed on the companies in the past, and would continue to do so if they could without cost themselves. A few were found who laid the entire blame for this using of cars for warehouses on the rail- roads and said the companies could not handle their freight consigned to this city. .{ A. Wakefield, said: ‘I can't blame theroads for adopting this course. Lumber men here have been in the habit of hold ing cars from thirty to sixty days; and our company has at times had as high as 400 cars in their yard at one time. ise people tried to run their lumber yard on wheels and the company had just cause to kick. Agent McClintock, the coming commissioner of this demurrage bureau, damned this ~ lumber company for not unloading cars, and dumned the railronds for allowing them to use them at their own conyenience. have done the same thing, but I don’t believe the blame is entirely onme. The company does not deliver cars as they are shipped. I have n capacity of un- loading ten cars a day, and, order my shipment wiih their arriving here in lots to suit my ability to unload them; but the railroads allow the cars to heap on the road and finally drop down on us with as mang' as seventy cars in one day, thereby blocking my tracks as well as their own, Robert Easson, of Paxton, Gullagher & Co.—*'Most demurrage charges are no more than right. Take for example the lumber and coul men; they get in a lot of cars here and let them lay around in the yards, taking up the switching room to such an extent that the other merchants cannot get their cars switched. This de- murrage will not hurt the trade of Omaba. It will merely compel the lum- ber men to unload cars on arrival here and reload when they are ready to ship tointerior points. Personally, we will not be affected by the rule. It will rather be a benefit to us, as we will unload cars so as switched. Most demurrage charges are customary in Chicago and other pownts. it 18 only right to do 1t, while it is an accommoda- tion to the lumber men, it is an injustice to the other merchants and I am opposed to it. McCord, Brady & Co.—We don't see why we should ‘object to the railroads making such charges. They make a rate to deliver a car of freight here in Omaha, and when it arrives that road has aright to charge for the detention of its property. We never ask the roads to hold any cars for us, The trouble here is that we ean't get the cars here. The roads claim the cause for this is their inability to get the cars in owing to the blorkade of the yard facilities by parties refusing to unlond cars. W. A. L.Gibbon—There has been a great deal of trouble here in the Omaha yards ocaused by the lack of yard facilities of the Union Pacitic road. THey can't handle the freight they receive, and the Iowa lines are kicking at the detention of their cars. The right to charge demurrage has been questioned, but 1 think there is no question about the legal rights of the companies to do so. If wo leave our goods in the cars after 4 reasonable time we are imposing upon the company by using their property as storeage ware- houses. Asa mstter of fact, however, the merchants here I don’t think have been doing that: they are too anxious to get their goods. The fault rests entirely with the Union Pacific road, whick does the transfer business for the city, and have not the yard facilities to deliver the cars promptly, for { have known of cars sometimes being on the track here from one to two weeks before we can get them. This is a great inconvenience to every merchant having business of this character with the company. ‘The com- pany cannot collect demurr: under these circumstances, because freight is not delivered until it is at our door. This town has outgrown the capacity of its railroad facilities. That is the truth in a nutshell. Jeff W. Bedford—This scheme of de- murrage charges is criminal for the pur- ‘)oso of expediting the unloading of cars. t is right, because the companies have been imposed upon to a great extent. They claim that the coal and lumber merchants use their cars for warehouse purposer, But the truth is, it is the job- r8 of other commodities that is doing it. Every large merchant here will be effected by it. It will decrease the com- merce of Omaha fully 83 per cent.; it will increase the number of our em- ployees, and gompetitive cities. will rean the benefit. “Cars are shipped to us in such irregularity that we cannot handle them promptly on arrival. This matter is a serious question, but we business men can stand it. Itisn't ours, but the consumer’s funeral, Yet 1t seems to me it will be impossible to enforce this rule, The lumber men will suffer the most, and the ywill west 1t in the courts. I am only carrying coal enough to supply the de- mand of customers. A. L. Nieles, of D. M. Stecle & Co.—1 don't know but that it is simply just for the roads to charge dimurrage. T roads have been imposcd u coal and luwber men. We never any trouble in housing our goods within twentv-four hours after arrival. 1 doubt if the company can collect the zes after they are imposed, but that makes the charges none the less just. The ha- bim{ of the company for the loss of goods by thieves and “fire is admitted until the goods are taken from their cars, and I surely think they should be enti- tled to some sort of protection, We have no trouble with any of the roads and our relutions have always been of a pleasant character. OUmaha Coal and Coke company—The companies claim the dealers have been using their cars as storehouses, We sup- pose they bave been imposed upom tw some extent, but we think they take e cepiional ¢ases and make a general rule of them. We suppose the lumber and coal men will have to stand the brunt of this thing, and have the responsibility put upon them. We think the dealers are inclined to act in harmony with the roads 1n expediting the] unloading of cars, because we think 1t {s going to work considerable hardship with us, " It will so effect the jobbing business here that 1t will transfer that branch of the trade to distributing points_ecast of us. Don't quote my name, for I am not dis~ posed to be interviewed. Louis Bradford—The organization of this bureau was caused by the holding of cars for an unreasonable time by the con- signee. It 18 an outrage on the compan- iesgand the eonM\fiuence 18 thatthe tracks are blocked. It will be better for all if we are compelled to unload cars in forty- eight hours after we get our cars. It will have no detrimental effect on the busi- ness of the city, I have now 125 cars somewhere nround here, I would unload them if they were convenient. This Mornin, Session. The attendance at the conference yester day morning was quite large. The absence of many of those who had been assigned to read papers caused several changes in the programme. Dr. Taylor of New, York, who was president of & convention in that state composed of all the county superintendents of the poor in New York and was at that convention elected a del- egate to this conference, made a detailed statement of the workings of the conven- tion, It consisted principally of recom- mendations as to sanitary regalations about poor houses, supplying them with water, etc. F. M. Powell, M. D., of Glenwood, Ia., read a paper titled ‘‘Note on the Care and Training of Feeble-Minded Chil- dren.” . In this paper the various types of de- fective mentality were specified and de- fined. The differences between idiocy, imbecility and demenlia were stated. The superintendents of American 1nsti- tutions for feeble minded persons, in their session of 1878, submitted the fol- lowing: ‘‘Idioey and imbecility are cou- ditions in which there is a want of natural or harmonious development of the mental, acting and moral powers of the individual affected, usually associated with some visible defect or infirmity of the physical organization, or with func- tional anomalies, expressed in various forms and degrees of disordered vital action. There is frequently defect or absence of onc or more of the special senses, always irregular or uncertain volition and dullness or sensibility and rception. The term ‘tesble minded’ s sanctioned by modern usage, it being much more nccemabfis to arents and friends of the afilicted. It as only been in the present century that an active measure was instituted to care for this unfortunate class of humanity, Their lot before that time was one of misery, want and loneliness. In the or- ganic laws of regulating schools in Mass- achusettsand New York, epileptics, par- alytics and others properly belongi to the asylum wards; explicity avolding custodial charges, so prominently con- sidered in our institutions to-day. It is due to the pioneer workers that they be be credited with early recognizing the claims of the non-improvables as indi- cated by some of their earlier reports. The numbers of this iarge army of de- pendents as indicated by the census of the United States in 1830, was 176,895, of which 2,420 were in training schoo's, 1,141 in hospitals for the insane, 5,429 in alms houses, 241 1n benevolent institu- tions, and 41 in jails, leaving a remainder of 67,200 at home, or in private care. "In the care of dependent children, educa- tion is the chief consideration. In all in- stitutions, pupils are being taught the elementary branches of the Eunglish language, with o fair show of success. Physical training forms the basis of all well directed efforts for the education of idiots. Kor this reason gymnastic and kindergarten exercises enter largely into traming schools, not 8o much or‘rhy- sical benefits a8 & means of mental disci- pline. Through this medium the most valued attention and imitation lessons are impressed. Numerous devices are used to cure the lack of power of atlen- tion, so marked in this class. Mechani= cal means constitute a reliable fuctor for developing the senses, the simplest kind of labor with many, are valuable lessons in fixing the attention and inculeating will: power over the defective nervous organizations so uniformly present. Numerous ‘“psycological puzzles'’ were described, who are living in nstitutions for the feeble minded. “'If we would aid in restoring the lost harmonies of the universe, we must seck for ourselves and our children that uni- form culture of the whole being in its true nature, physical, mental, and moral, which in its completeness shall conform to the lines of perf mmetry without excrescence or depressivn, When every man and woman secures such culture, transmitting it to their seed after them, there will be no further need of hospi- tals for bodily or mental diseases or prisons for moral offenders.” Afternooa Session. The attendance at the afiernoon ses- sion was not large,but the exercises were of an interesting charactgr. Promptly at 2 o'clock President GWes called the nlBl’filw to order and ntroduced Prof. A, O. Wright, chairman of the commit- tee on penal and reformatory nstitu- tions, He explained that three papers were exnncwll to be read under this head, one by J. W. McClaughrey, war- den of Joliet penitentiary, but he “is also president of the Illinois Veterans’ asso- ciation, which is now in session, and he is in attendance. His paper was on Registration of professional criminals. Recently the wardens of the various state penitentiaries held a convention in Detroit and Mr., Claughrey was elected the national president of an association then formed, for the purpose of keeping a list of professional criminals, that they may be known from the occasional or accidental ones. Another paper on *‘The Prison Con- tract System from the Manufacturer's Standpoint,” by W, T. Lewis, of Wiscon- sin, president National Anti-convict Con- tract association. Why he did not at tend is not known. ‘The third rapnr is by Colonel F. J. Reis, chief of police of Mil- waukee, on “The Police System of Mil- waukee, W Rev. Hill, of Oregon, was then intro- duced, and he read the last mentioned paper, which was chiefly devoted to the civil service system of conducting police affairs, eliminating politics. \William H. Murray, of St. Paul, vig- « #1y protested against the methods of condueting the business of the confer- ence. Too much time was taken up with reading papers, and more than half of those who were listening were unable to understand what was being read, Many m, rs would like to discuss and criti- » papers, but had not the nerve, 1ly the ladies, to stand up unpre- and argue against the few who prepared the papers and appeared to do all the talking at the conference. He favored the printing of all papers in ad- distributing them among the del- s and thus avoid the loss of time in reading them, Therr titles simply need ba read. He said there was a Axw con- vention last year, it had fallen off one- half this year and next year the few who were doing all the talking wignt find themselves alone at Buffalo, Mr. Sanborn heartily endorsed Mr. Murray's remarks and asked that they be embodied in a resolution and subnutted to the'conference. Mr. Wheeler, a member of the state board of Michigan, discoursed on *‘Inde- terminate Sentences.’’ That is where a r(;srsuu is convicted of a crime and sent prison there to remain until some power pardons him or he dies., He fav- ored the adoption of such a policy toward incorrigible criminals who appear to se- oure their release,gu'y to commit crime anew. At the suggestion of Mr. Wines a con- versational meeting was held, talks bein, limited to five minutes and any one al- lowed to ask sugh questions as were deemed vroper, (! General Brinkerhoff stated that snch a systom as absolute lindeterminate sen- tences was not priiticed at any place in the United States,though, in a~ modified form it was recogfi. n Elmira, N. Y., and in Ohio, Mr. Hunting fayoyed the legislative adoption of this kind of sentences, Rev. Mr, Tate wns, opposed to it, es- pecially where the ¢convict labor contract system was organized, as in Nebraska, on account of the degradation to convicts and the cupiaity of wardens and others in power, who would never relesse a good workman or skilled mechanic, if once released. Several others participated in the dis- cussion, The committee on organization re- ported as follows: President, Charles 8. Hoyte, M. D. Albany, N.Y.; Rt. Rev. Gaorge D. Gil- lespie, Grand ‘Rapids, Mich.; Re. John Ireland, St. Paul, Minn.; Rev, G: Byers, Columbus, O.; Ravbi S. Son- nenehien, St. Loms, Mo.; Prof. Edward Illwhoocl'c. Ambherst Mass, SECRETARIES, Rev. H.

Last Night s Sesaton. Alarge gathering assembled in the opera house last night to hear the clos- ing exercises. Some formal business mattors were attended to. Charles E. Kellogg, of New York, read the report an the organization of charities. Secretary Hart called che attention of the conference to tho National record, also to the annually published report of the conference, which is sold at $1.50 per copy, bound in cloth. Rev. Dr. Wines read a paper written by Mrs, Charles R. Lewis, ot New York. Various other papers were read, and short dis- cussions had on various topics connected with the conference. Rev. Mr. Gillespie subscribed copies of the National Record. Mrs. General Wolverton addressed the conference on the benefits of a friendly visiting committee. Also the value of teaching saving habits and the art of keeping out of debt. A paper by Mrs, James J. Putnam, of Boston, on friendly visiting was then read, ulso a paper by Mrs. E. B. Smith, secretary of the asso- ciated charities of Boston, on the same theme. President (iiles then closed the conference declaring its labors at an end. A member offered 8 vesolution thanking Governor Thayer, Mayor Broatch, Judge Thurston, Edward Rosewater, the board of trade, Omaha'y ‘citizens generally, Rev. Gillespie, Mrg!

A Small Riot, Thers was a pleasant party in Harry Hagan's shebeen, at the corner of the alley on Eleventh street, between Far- nam and Harney streets, last night, and the ruby flowed in unruflled currents as the guests held their surcingles up to the bar and quaffed the landlord's eternal good health, About midnight the wine ran out, and Hagen, anx- jous to keep up the prosperous tide of trade that had struck his place, deputized one of the revelers to run down the alley to Pat Desmond’s and have the demi-john loaded with some of “the best” The individual acoepting this little commission was ‘‘ Reddy " McCrea, a gent with ‘short cropped, tinted locks, amiable temper and cul- tured thumping capacity. ‘' Reddy" seized the demi-john, slipped out of the back door and put off down the alley in a hurry. Scarce three jumps had he tauken when a voice in front of him broke out with a distinct, “Halt, who goes that?" “Who goes that, indeed and it's your affair to find out,” rejoined Reddy not the least dismayed and running on with an effort to pass the obstruction with a voice. “Halt, [ say,” camo the cautionary summons again, this time in quivering tones, “I'm an officer of the la' and will take yez in, surve, ef yez don't tell me yer name an’ ockipashun.’ “Well, you can’t get action any too quick,” defiantly retorted Reddy, drop- ping the demi-john and reaching out into the dark. His hand fell on the person of Police Oflicer Jimmie Brady and the next instant found the two men at it, cudgel and stave, cleaver and axe, with Reddy win- ning a steady advantage. They fought up’ the alley and down again until they stumbled out on Eleventh street and into the light shed by a friendly lamp post. On the opposite side of the street, seated on the front piazza of the Emmett house, was ex-Ofticer Jerry O’Grady, smoking pen- sively as he thought ‘d— it" of Chief Seavey and the ‘fell commission. His quick” eya caught the trouble at this stage, and recognizing his former com- rade in distress, he bounded to the resoue. “Howld on wid both two of yer handas, Jimmie Brady- till I jine yez he shouted en eouragin%:y. and the nruxglmg Brady lifted s bulging eyes in thanks as he caught Reddy’s thumb in his teeth, and shifted grips on his throat. Simultaneously, co-incidently, or at the same time, which is better, another party was repairing to the scenein seven- league boots, 1t was Putsy Horrigan, the detective, who had just thrown up a rough shadow on burglarious looxing gentleman who turned out to be a report- er, and was standing at the Farnam street corner chewing a toothpick and thinkin, up_ clews. @, too, saw the battle an gallantly galloped to the relief. It is a curious fact that katsy and Jerry are brothers-in-law and maybe that’s why things happened as they did, “Kua‘g l!our hands off that prisoner, Jerry O'Grady,” was Horrigan’s first remark as on reaching the scene he beheld his relative trying to pull Reddy off of Brady’s frame. Now this was more than O'Grady,for the honest heart of him, could bear. so he left Brady to Reddy’s savage uattentions and addressed himself with violence to Horrigan. A moment luter the datective was spilled over the cobble pavement of the alley with a rap on the jaw from his brother-in-law’s gnarled and knotted fist, “Ye will, Paddy Fresh, will yez? Yeo'll monkey wid a life-sized gentleman,” yelled O'Grady, cutting a wing-step, with his dukes in position, as Horrigzan siowl, and painfully put himself together an tested his bones as he rose. Horrigan made no_reply but limped away with a threatening shake at which O'Gragy gave him the ‘“‘Ha, ha;" and “The terrier afraid of a rat,” and such sorts of offensive gibes, Meanwhile Reddy had finished his business with Brady and made his_es-. cape. With many an oath and stifled frouu Brady limped off with Horrigan, eaving O'Grady in undisputed posses- sion of the alley. ““Now, it'll be the likes of Paddy Hor- rigan to come back here wid a posse come-and-tuke-us of police. Will Jerry O'Grady be arrested? Naw, not in a thousand years,” and Jerry tnus solilo- quizing armed himself with a drayéxin and took his stand in front of the - mett house. He was right in his surmise that Horri- gnn would return, and with plenty of acking, for barely a minute had passed when the patrol dashed up and outleaped the detective, Captain Grean and three ofticers. “'Stand back! What does yez want?"’ challenged O'Grady as the party ad- vanced upon him. “We want you, O'Grady,’’ returned Captain Green in firm, determined tones. “Then come and take me." That is precisely what they did but not until after a fight which in point of brutal stubbornness overtops the Sunday prize- mill as the mountain outrises the sand hill. The clubbing o which O'Grady was submitted was terrible. His face and scalp were cut to pieces us the four policemen dealt him blow after blow, his own weapon had been snatched from s hands, the blood drenched his cloth- ing, he roared and shrieked with rage and pain and fell at last on his kn Then into the patrol wagon he was thrown, where re- gaining strength to struggle again he was tramped under toot and choked into submission, In this disgusting, almost appalling, condition, Jerry O'Grady, once a well accredited oflicer of the (orce, was thrown into a cell of the station and shortly sunk into coma or sleep, it mat- tered little. These events created the greatest ex- citement among the police und a dilli- ent search, so far ineffectual, was made {ur Reddy. —_— Fatal Boiler Explosion, FLINT, Mich.

About one o'clock yesterday afternoon two unknown sncak thieves entered the jewelry store of William Neve, No, 604 South Tenth street, and succeeded in bagging about $800 worth ot goods. The room to the rear of the store is occupied as an office by Judge Brandes, and both he and Neve were away at dinner at the time of the theft, The judge had forgot- ten to fasten the window in the rear of his oftice, and 1t was through this that the thieves effectod their entrance. The trays in the show oases were carried back into the oftice and stripped of most of their contents, Among a number of watches takon was a fine chronometer worth $200. Besides this there were twelve 1d and filled watch cases, be- sides n&;-slx solid rings. In their haste the thieves left a few rings in the trays. To avoud being seen by the workirgmen in Jor- gensen's cigar store the thieves clamb- ered oyer the coal shed instead of going around it. They were observed by some of the employes of Krug's brewery as they jum, from the coal shed and ran towards Eleventh street, and the only de- soription the workmen could give of them is that one had on & dark and the other a light coat. From about 10.830 up to the time of the robbery three men, two of whots i nnulwur the ld:xiacri tion, were engaged in playing pool in Krug’s beer hall, the bnofl exit oF which opens on the rear of Neve's store. Thete men disappeared about the time the burglary was committed and wore later scen tak- ing the train tor Iowa. SUNDAY BUSINESS, Startling Invocation of an Old Law by Omaha Clothiers. The Clothing Salesmen's association, through its attorney, W. J. Connell, filed information yesterday, against M. Gold- smith, Harris & Som, Edward Olsen, D. Altman and Julius Bambergers for sell- ing clothing on Sunday. The action was instituted on an old territorial law that drifted into the state code when Nebraska was admitted to the sisterhood of states. An effort was never but once made to in- force the law, and that was under the old territorial government, and during the mayorality of J. M. Kellum. In those days Omaha had buv one barber, and two butcher shops. The second Sun- day the law was in force the barber be- came disgusted and removed to Council Bluffs, and the men of Omaha had to go over there to get shaved, or wait tor the boat to come up from St. Joe. That week the two butchers held a consulta- tion and concluded to sell no beef during week days unless allowed to do so, also, on Sunday. Mayor Hellman was ob- durate, and waged his war for about three months. Then the citizens rose and, at & mass meeting held in an old frame building that stood about where the B. M. headquarters now are, ordered the mayor to ‘‘strike colors or ride out of town.'” No warrants have been issued for the arrest of the parties complained of yes- terday.

That Tired Feeling The warm weather has a debilitating effect, especially upon those who are within doors most of the time. The peculiar, yet common, complaint known as “that tired feeling,” 1s the result. This feeling can be entirely overcome by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which gives now life and strength to all the functions of the body. “1 could not sleep; had no appetite. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon began to sleep soundly; could get up without that tired and languld feeling; and my appetite improved.” R.
