FORCED INTO MATRIMOMY. Eaven R. James Wants to Be Ro- lieved of His Wife. PISTOLS USED AS PERSUADERS. A Mysterlous Case of Polsoning and One of the Witnesses Hastily Gets Out of the Way ~Other Local News, A Forced Marriage. On the 25th day of January, 1858, the nup- tial ceremony of Eaven R. James and Minnie A. Day, daughter of James H. Day, of this city, were celebrated. It was not a public wedding. On the contrary, the ceremony had but two witnesses and they were the father and the brother of the present Mrs, James. Neither of these witnesses, notwithstanding their close la- tionsnip to one of the contracting parties, was arrayed in wedding garments, but something they did have on their persons were forty-four calibre revolvers. The wed. ding created no little comment, but at that time the acquaintances of the newly wedded couple were ignorant of the *y that was brought to bear on the dict to enter into the contract A petition filed with the district clerk terday by Attorney J.

Da that the defendant resides with her father, James H. Day, in the city of Omaha, and that she has a brother named George I. Day. Prior to the 25th day of January, 1588, the defendant pretented to be an unmarried woman but this plaintiff alleges to have been untrue, as he believes upon good information that she lived for years in the ¢ of Buffalo with one Somers, was then recognized as his wife and so represented herself to be. Early on Sunday morning, January 27, the defendant gave birth to achild, The plaintifft 8t that time boarded with the defendant's parents and did not know that the defendant was encient He had always behieved her to be a chaste womaun, and had never even heard of anything derogatory to her charac- ter. At about 3 o'clock in the morning of the date mentioned above George F. Day came mto plaintiff's room and awakened hin, James was asked to dress and follow Day. This he did and was ushered into the room of defendant, who was in bed. George Day then pulled down the bed clothes, and showed to plain- tiff a new born babe and asked: *Is this your work,” * James denied being the father of the child. Then the defendant’s father, who was in the also became violently abusive and threatened the life of plaintiff, whom he red with effecting the ruin of his daugh- . In vain James pleaded his innocence. Both the father and brother were evidently ina great passion, and swore that if th plaintiff refused to marry the defendant, th would kill him. Then they took plaintiff and locked him up ina sccu room, where he spent the night. Next morning both the father and brother of the girl renewed their threats, and told plaintiff that if he refused to go with thamto the office of the county judge and secure a marriage license they would kill him. Plain- tiff being in great fear of either death or great bodily injury, consented. The license was secured and James and the girl were married at noon of that d: As s0on as possible James made his escape from the Day house and has seen none of that family since. He prays that the court deciare the marriage null and yoid, inasmuch as he was forced into it through excessive ear, Other District Court Cases.

The Supreme Court Saves Omaha From Hundreds of Law Suits. The supreme court of this state Wednesday handed down an opinion in the case of Schal- ler va the city of Omaha. This is a rather important suit in that upon its termination depends the result of thousands of cases which, under nearly the same circumstances, were brought against the city. The plaintift is the widow of the late Mr. Schaller, whose property is situated on the corner of Twenty- fourth and California streets. Both thorough- fares were so graded as to leave the house of the plaintiff about twenty feet above the streets, and almost inaccessible. Suit for €,000 damages was brought in the district court in August, 1885, The cause was tried before Judge Wakely, whose son Ar- thur appeared for the plaintiff. The jury returned a verdict that no damages whatever had been sustained on the ground that the property had been 80 benefited as to be a stand-off to the damages claimed. Upon this the appeal was taken, and the syllabus pub- lished recites that *in awarding just compen- sation for property damaged for public use, general benefits shared by the public at large cannot be considered, while special benefits to the property damaged may be. Mr. Wakely, the attorney for the plaintiff, was qsked by & BEE man as to the meaning of the *quotation and replied that it was not vel clear to him, and he would be compelled to send to Mr. Brown at Lincoln for the text of the opinion, Mr. Connell, who at the time the suit was brought officiated as city attorney and fought the case, was seen and asked to explain the phraseology of the syllabus. He said he had seen people who had read the opinion, and thought he understood the matter himself very vell. It was, he said, in effect, the rec- ognition by the supreme court of the rule lating to damages laid down by the district court in the Peabody, the pioncer case of the that kind against the city, which is that as against the cost of changing the property so as 10 make it conform to grade, it is proper to take into account special damages to prop- erty by reason of grading, but that it is improper to consider benefits of a general character. “‘What then is reversed by the opinion?" asked the reporter, “The reversal is on the ground that the evidence did show that the plaintiff was en- titled to some damages, whereas the jury al- lowed none whatever."” ““What eftect will the opinion have upon the city " “*No effect whatever. ' “What cffect would a contrary decision hav e “It would swamp the city. There is not a lawyer in the city who has not almost a similar case and some of them have as many as fifty. GOMPERS' MISSION. How Will He Be Received by the Knights of Labor? Tne announcement has already been made in these columns, thut on next Saturday a man named muel Gompers will address the working people in the exposition hall, to which admission will be free. It is claimed that this man is vice president of the cigar- makers's union, as also vice president of what is known as the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers, it is claimed, re- sides in New York, and some of the papers published there which have preceeded him do not give nim an introduction which is cal- culated to make warm friends for him among all he meets. A recent number of the Ray, published in Troy, details the attempt made by the state workingmen's assembly and the New York state branch of the Federation of Labor, to_effect a consolidation of the two bodies. A committee was appointed by each organization, with this end in view. Bach committee made a number of propositions as a basis upon which to build the new society and which when adopted tobe reported back to the two organizations. One of the propositions made by the representatives of the American federation of labor was ‘‘that all Knights of Labor assemblies shall in the future be denied admission.” Of course the provosition was rejected. ‘Thereupon the Ray speaks of Gompers alleging that he is an expe'led member of the Knights of Labor, and who, after his expulsion, it is claimed, betrayed the signs of the order to children working in the cigar factories. It further claims that he was denounced by Powderly upon several very important grounds. Gomper's visit to Omaha has been made under the auspicesof the Cigarmakers' union, asalso for the purpose of placing upon o solid fonudation the branch of the fedration of lubor, “Omaha is a pretty strong Knights of Labor town,” said a workingman yester- day, and many of the members of that~ order do not feel that they are indebted inany man- ner to Mr. Gompers. Whether they will take part in a rceeption to him, or further his scheme here, is doubtful in my mind. The local assemblies will meet to-morrow night, howev in the Knights of Pythius hall, immediately east of the Millard, and I would not.be surprised if there the cousre to be pursued by the knights will be determined upon.” GONE SOUTH.
