Now that Gould has consolidated the two principal telegraph systems of the country he will have to enlarge his water- ing-trough. Joun Bricut seems to contract sadly a8 he grows older. Once the champion of freedom, he is now the mouth-piece of oppression. He has just written o violeut letter against the movement for home rule in Ircland., TurRre was a time when the Washing- ton papers could not say anyihing too mean about ex-Governor Shepnerd. Now their comments upon him fairly reek with tafly. Yet Mr, Shepherd has not changed, he simply bronght about a boom in real estate. THE visit to Omaha this week of the Knignts of Pythias will be one of the most interesting events of the year. It is expected that fully ten thousand mem- bers will be here during the session of the grand lodge, and the parade of next Wednesday, with most of these in line, will be an exhibition long to be remem- bered. The order is one of the strongest and most honorable in the country, and is steadily growing. It is a beneficial order, and in that character does a vast amount of good which 18 not paraded to the world, The Kmights merit and will receive the most cordial hospitality from the citizens of Omcaha. Tur corn palace at Sivux City was a unique project *that has been a most gratifying success. Nebraskans will de- rive special satisfaction from the fact that this state carried off the, honors for having the best exhibit, and to Cuming county belongs the glory of having main- tained the ropatation of Nebraska as bo ing first among the corn-producing 8tates of the country in the quality of that grain. The enterprising farmers to florts this result is due are Mr. : iraham, of Wisner, and Mr. R. F. Kioke, of West Point, and we take pleass ure in according them the credit due their meritorious work. Such ‘' examples of patriotic interest in advancing the fame of Nebraska cannot be too warmly commended. Tue New York Wortd, ruminating upon the present tour of Mr. Cleveland, allows its memory to roll back the cur- tains of tho past and dwell upon the time, thirty-seven years ngo, when Gen- eral Winfield Scott made a trip among the people, ostensibly in the interest of a soldiors’ and sailors’ home, but really to promote his cause as the whig candidate for the presidency. It recalls that he was cverywhere enthusiastically re- ceivea, until he became impressed with the belief that his election was assured. But he carried only four stutes and re- ‘ceived but forty-two electoral votes. The Wurld.lu-vun to inference the application of this reminiscence, but 1t is so plain that error is impossible. History records that the chief mistake of General Scott was a too liberal dispensation of “taffy.” The ‘*rich Irish brogue" and tife ‘‘delightful German accent' made altogether too strong a dose for the stomach of that time, which was being fed very froely with know-nothing pabulum. Mr. Cleveland has been dis- tributing some taffy, but itis of a less nause ating kind, —— THE sixtes nual convention of the American Bankers’ association will assemble at Pittsburg to-morrqw. The secretary of the association reports that there are about nine thousand banks and banking institutions in the country, but ounly a very small proportion of these will be represented in the convention. The truth 18 that these assemblages thus far have represented the views of only a fraction of the bankers of the country, and these chiefly of the east, For this reason the influence of the association has been less than it would otherwise have been. The chiet object of the com- ing convention is to get into compact form the banking history of the past year, and to discuss financial and banking methods. One paper which will be of considerable jnterest will be by Comptroller Trenholm on the increase in the number of new banks in the country during the past year. He will show that there have been more banks started than in any previous year in the nistory of the coun- try, that the south and west have re- ceived the larger proportion of these, and that more than usual bave becn na- tional banks, Keep the Judiciary Pare, The judicial convention of the two parties whoee business 1t is to nominate four candidates for judges of the Third district will convene in this city next Monday. If these conventions act upon the recommendations of the bar, three of the judges who now occupy seats on the district bench, namely: Wakely, Groff and Hopewell, will be nominated by both conventions. Such action would be in accord with public sentiment, which is opposed to dragging the judiciary into the mire of political contention. Con: ceding that the republican party has a round majority in this district, it would be very shortsighted and impo- litic to rule out as able and honorable a judge as EleaserWakely because he is a democrat. Itis a matter of history that he was originally ap- pointed to the place he now holds on the bench by a republican governor, at ghe urgent request of leading republicans of all factions,and this action was endorsed by the republicans at the last judicial election. 1 it was proper for a republican gov- ernor to appoint Judge Wakely, and a republican convention to place him on its ticket, there is no reason for raising the partisan bar against his joint nomi- nation this year. To do so would only force hundreds of republicans who be- lieve in sustaining a pure judiciary to scratch their tickets, ‘The clamor which comes from certain quarters in favor of nominating a straight republican judicial ticket is inspired chiefly by candidates who are utterly unfit for places on the bench. and will never be elected as against Judge Wakely or any democrat of known integrity and high rank in the legal profession. Much a8 republicans may desire party su- premacy, thousands of them are too conscientious and self-respecting to be draggooned into the support of any can- didate for judge whose asseciations are with the vicious aud criminal classes, or who a3 A lawyer has sold out or swindled his clients, or who lacks the legal knowledge and experi- ence in law practice which 18 essential a8 a qualification for a competent judi- ciary. The unscemly scramble for nom- inations to the district bench by men who oaght to know that they cannot run the gauntlet of an open campaign, is simply aggravating. A blacksmith who would persist 1n tinkering with watches, or bricklayer who would ‘e out to do cabinet-work, would be no more out of place than 15 a man who has neither a legal mind or the practice as an attorney to push himself on the bench in the metropolis of the stat SEe———— The Telegraph Deal. Notwithstanding the statement of Mr. Garrett to the contrary, there.appears to be no reason to doubt that the absorp- tion of the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph lines by the Western Union 1s an accom- plished fact. There was an intimation contained in the reported interview with Mr. Garrett on his arrival from Europe that he had something to say before the transaction could be completed, and as he had not been consulted regarding the deal would in due time be heard from. It 1s not at all likely, however, that Mr. Gould and the astute manager of the Western Union have made any mistake in connection with this purchase, and they are authority for the statement that it has been made. The oflicials of the purchased property have been somewhat reticent, but there were good reasons why they should be. ‘The deal has been desired by the West- ern Union company for a long time, and is in keeping with the well-known policy of that organization. It has been the Ansconda of American telegraph compa- nies, pursuing a steady policy for the suppression of all competition and the acqusition of the entire field of tele- graphy in this country. It is not likely under its present management to change this character. In gathering in the Bal- timore & Ohio it has nid itself of the most dangerous rival it ever had. What the railroad built up by theelder Garrett, and which has recently passed into the hands of a syndicate, was to the other trunk lines, in compelling them to maintain a continued contest for business from which the public derived no inconsiderable benefit, the telegraph of the same corporation was to the West- ern Union. It forced that company wherever it entered into competition, and it haa reached out to nearly all the great centers of telegraphic communica- tion, to give the public a degree of cons sideration which as a monopoly the Western Union would not have accorded. The creation of the Baltimore & Ohio lines was the beginning of a reduction of telegraph rates which has saved the business men of the country many mitl- While directed by the er who established it the contest was maintained with never a show of weakness, and were his successor a man of equal ability it is questionable whether Mr. Gould would now have possession of it. Butthe son falls far short of the father in finan- cial rapacity, and under his administra- tion the grent properties whose control he inherited became unprofitable and haye passed into other hands. What is to be the result of this deal is the question which very closely concerns the public. The United and Postal com- panies are the only remaining opposition, and these are less formidable than was the Baltimore & Ohio. The oflicials of the Postal company expect to be bene- fitted by the deal, as thoy look to securing a geod share of the business of the Balti- more & Uhio, and where this competition extends rates will probably not be in- creased. On the contrary it may become the policy of the Western Union to still further reduce them in such territory, in order to the more speedily bring this remaining opposition to terms. But it is hardly to be supposed that where the Western Union has now obtained com- plete control it will fail to advance the charges for its service. There is some security for the public, however, 1n the fact that this wust be done with great caution, since any excessive exactions would be resented and would invite com- petition into the now monopolized ter- ritory. The people have learned what telegraph service can be done for, and they will not readily sfbmit to any at- tempt to ro-cstablish the extortions of a past period., The Western Union man- agement may be influenced only by considerations ot immeliate results, but if it shall shape its policy in such a line it may mot be able to long enjoy unchallenged the advantage it has gained in swallowing up its most formidable comvetitor. In any event the deal is in the dirce= tion of monoply, aud therefore hostile to the public interest. This may not be« come at onoce apparent, but it ie hardly possible that the ultimate effects will fil to show it. The tendency will very likely bo to direct popular attention more strongly than ever to the gnestion of governmental control of the telegraph, a policy which already has many strong advooates and which would undoubtedly be widely endorsed by the people. — Still ac the Orib, The tax-eaters are still at the crib. The exhibit presented by the September ap- propriation ordinance affords ample food for reflection to the pcople who bvay taxes in Omaha. Unless the council can be induced to put a stop to the inexcus- able waste of the people's money on su- pernumeraries, needless deputies, and deadbeat hangers ~on, the bottom will drop out of our city tiea- sury one of these days, and we will be in the condition in which Mem- phis was when she had to scale and re- pudiate her debt. W hat excuse is there for allowing the city clerk and city treasurer three deputies each, paying a pest house keeper who hus had nothing to do for two years, and running a street commiseioner force under five bosses, some of whom draw double pay by hiring their teams to the city? What need of an army of Inepectors when half of them have nothing to inspect? All this waste and extravagance arises from the trades and tie-ups among councilmen. . TuE redoubtable Higgins, he who pro- nounced the civil service law a humbug and has contemptuously ignored the order of the president requiring office- holders to attend to their duties and let politics alone, is looking higher than the position of appointment clerk in the treasury department. Higging wants to be doorkeeper in the house of represen- tatives, and he points with pride to his party dovotion in support of his claim, It is the fruits of this devotion whicii have caused the democratic revolt in Mary- land, but it would not be surprising if Higgins secured a considerable support should he earnestly push his claims. Doubtless a great many democrats who will be 1n the next congress sympathize with his attitude. But the oflice of door- keeper will not go begging, and as there are several aspirants who have been quite as devoted to the party as the hold repudiator of Mr. Cleveland’s pet policy it is pretty safe to predictthat he will not get the position. — ACCORDING to Mr. McShane's paper Hascall and the republican majority of the council gave the BEE a black eye by ordering the registrars and judges of election to publish their notices to voters inthe Herald and Republican. This is not much of a black eye to the Bie, The entire advertising will not exceed one hundred dollars, or about what nn% one of a dozen Omaha merchants pays this paper in a single day. But itis anim- position on the voters and taxpayers, who are entitled to notice through the best circulating medium. Hascall and his tin-cans of the council knew very well that the notices through the Herald and Lepublican will not reach one-third of the voters which can be reached through any issue of the Bee. They have again exhibited their petty spite, which shows what small-calibre material some republi- cans of the council are made of. TaE republican members of the council are not anxiousto elect the republican county ticket, These small-bore states- men have made the democratic paper, which 1s delivered in Omaha by thirteen carriers as against the BEE's forty-five carriers, the medium through which yoters are notificd about places and time of registration, which the law requires to be done through two daily papers.

AN ENGINEER COOKED ALIVE Horrible Fate of Oharlis Hoohsteiner Oansed By an Explosion. DEATH ENDS HIS SUFFERING, Poor Plumbing Responsible For tho Terrible Affair—Another Chap- ter on Lynoh and Lutz— Local News, A Frightful Accident. The alarm of fire sounded from box 48 at 10 o'clock yesterday morning was ocens foned by the bursting or displacement ot the steam}piping connected with the boler at Rosenmund's restaurant, 1013 Furnam street. The services of the fire depart- ment. however, wero unnecessary, owing to the peculiar churacter of the accident, yot the damage resulting from it was quite extensive, and caused the death of one man. The flange or rim at the point where the stcam -pipe connects with the boiler gave way, al- lowmmg all the steam and heat with which the pipes and reservoirs within the building were filled to burst out into the engine room with terrific and disastrous forco. Mr. Rosenmund had juet left this department, and his escape from denth or serious injury was extremely narrow, a8 Charlie Hoehsteiner, the engineer, was caught in the deluge of ‘steam and heat and almost literally roasted alive. The probabilities are that he was in close proximity to the boiler when the bot air and steam burst through the dis- rlnncd pipe upon him, He wuas dashed back against the rear wall amidst a de- bris of mortar and brick, but scrambled to his feet, and with a scream ,of terror and pain rushed into tne hall way, where he fell to the flod He was lifted up by o number of the attaches and carried to one of the rooms up stairs. Here a hasty examination revealed that his hurts were of the most horrible and dangerous char- acter, His face and hands were blackened and scalded, his* hair was blown back in his head 1n a hideous way, and his ctothes stripped in rags. He pres sented o horrible snectacle, as he lay writhing upon his bed in the most ex- cruciating agony. The flash fell 1n strips from his forearms and hands, while the skin on eaeh check and his forchead was burned and curled up like thin shavings. Several physicians were called in, but for some inexplicable reason none were permitted to adminis- ter to the sufferer, it being announced by some of the attaches about the lace that they would wait for some particular Ger- man doctor, who had been dispatched for. He was temoved to the hospital in the afternoon, and death ended his suflerings about 6 o'clock last evening. He was asingle man and had been in this country about five years. The cause of the disaster, itis learned from reliable authority, was that “there was not suflicient connection between the cylindrical shells of the boiler to msure due equilibrium and inadequate allowauce made for ex- pansion in the piping, with a mixture, probably, of poor plumbing. The boiler was a Rowe patent upright base burner, and was only put in new last spring. Mr, Rosenmund says that there was but three pounds of m on at the time of the accident, bu this would be hardly suflicient to force the heat throughout o building, the vressure must n much greater. T pacity of the boiler is 150 pounds. Standeven, the cily boiler 1nspector, made an immediate investigation, and determined that the cause of the trouble was exactiy as has been detailed above. Rosenmund’s loss is nearly $800, principally in orang lemons and other goods, which w stored 1n apartment adjoining the iler room and were spoiled by the low ater and steam that poured in upon them. SATURI An Lxpose of the Persons Who Fig- urea In ft. Mrs, Lutz, whose paramour will be consigued to a grave in the county burial ground to-day, spent yesterday alone in the hittle cottuge 1225; South Thirteenth street, looking out the win- dow at the passers by. The house is sit- uated 1n the vear of a saloon, the part of which rests upon the hill which skirts the street. Still further up the uc~ clivity is the Lynch-Lutz cottage, at one of the front windows of which the Lutz woman took her lonesome scat yesterday. A Bee reporter called in the afternoon. All - outward evidence of the strugele had been oblhit- erated in the rain of the night before,and nobody approaching the doorstep would have noticed anything which would give ny mdication of Saturdy « tragedy, Mrs. Lutz receive with euse and composure, dressed in black,and her features showed the effect of sadness long-experienced, rather than that which might have been occasioned by her husband's latest deed. The interior ot the cottage consists of three small rooms, all neatly kept. The furniture is new and of imitation of old oak. Over the bed hangs a picture of a beautiful young woman with a veil of black ace thrown negligentiy yet I)ecolninglg over her head after the manner of a Spanish lad, Mrs. Lutz was asked whose pictore it was, and re- phed it was one that Lynch had brought from New York. It ‘was evidently an enlarged and colored crayon copy of a photograph, which Lynch had evidently used in soliciting orders for that kind of work, On a rack on the wall was a num- ber of cheap books, novels and the hke, and among them bound samples of vol- umes such as book canvassers employ. These in & measure showed that Lynch had in all prohubinty, at one time been a book agent. In the back of one of these volumes which contained sample pages of the bible, several his- tories, a work on coins and several other volumes, were four pages of an album in one of the openings of -which was a pic- ture of Lynch, which showed him to huye been a bright and not unattractive young man at the time the photograph was taken. In the rear room of the cottage were soveral shelyes of preserves whic Mrs. Lutz had put up: an ice-che eral other articles which might be nd in a well supplied pantry,together with & chest of small drawers, such as are used by jewellers, upon which Lynch had worised the night before the murder. He was evidently a workingman of con- siderable ability, and his samplo in this case showed hiin to be rather litied for the more ekilled labor of “finishing" or cabinet work than for the rougher labor of the ordinary carpenter. Later, from © geutleman in this city who claimed to know Lyneh, it was ascer- tained that he once kept a chair repuir shop on Twelith street, betwgen Harney and Farnam strects, and fhat among others he did repairing for Shiverick, the Farnam street furniture man, It is told, also, that at that time he was living with & woman, and with whom he professed to pe very religious, going to church almost every Sunday night. This continued for a short time when it is claimed the wowman with all her sanctity forsook him {t was not long, however, before ho wen Bek's informant and told him that he was now living with a woman from who had plenty of moaey. THE MURDERER SHOWN U . @Mrs. Lutz was in a communicative mood and rceiterated, though more in detail, the churges of crueity aguinst her nusband, She acknowledged having | lot him and further, that it was not the first time she had done.so. She had run away from him and remained away ns long s ndysar. during whioh time she supported horself and sent money to her children, while her husband was a source of terror to the neighborhood and in- dulged with license his basest of pas- sions. When she returned to live with him it was upon the understanding that he would lead & re- formed life, and he kept his resolution for a time, only to renew his cruelty and conspire toward her de- basement and that of ber children.
