ANOTHER RUINED HOUSEHOLD A Beautiful Woman Charged With & Heinous COrime. SHE WAS MARRIED WHEN A CHILD. Councilman Bedford Disgusted With Public Life—The Packers' As- sewbly—Doings in the Courts—City News. A Sorrowful Tale. Another ruined home, another sorrowing wife, another revengeful husband and chil dren smirched with the grime of shame! Mrs, W. P, Welch, the wifo of & real estate agent, and sort of catch-as-catch-can business man, who resides at 1706 Davenport street, is a remorseful prisoner at the police station, charged with adultery. Mrs. Welch is more than un ordinarily pretty woman, of medium stature, but with a form that is the picture of grace and symmetry. Her hair is dark— black as the raven's wing—and inclined to wave, while her eyes, under beautifully arched brows, are of that indescribably en- ticing gray of which poets are wont to rave. She is an intelligent little woman, too, and told her unhappy story to a Bk reporter with that air of refinement that always de- notes a certain familiarity with the better les of life. She said: was married when I was but fourteen i now I am thirty-eight. My parents resided here in Omaha, and the man whom I have called husbaud for the past fourteen years was a boarder at our house. My parcnts were very strict with me, in cspite the fact that I was an only child, ill-treated and abused me, for some in- explicable cause, from_my infancy. 1 never knew the love, the solicitude and watchful care of a mother, for it was she who was es- pecially cruel to me. Mr. Welch was kind to me in those days: he talked and advised with me, in fact made love to me and finally induced me to run away from home and marry him, However, when I did finally con- sent to take this step 1 knew no affectioa for the man; it was simply a rcn‘wdful re- gard, and the hope that in him I had found afriend who would protect me and give me a happy home, We were married at Platts- mouth, and went to keeping house there We lived peacefully and happily, as happ ness goes with those who have been so ill- starred as to have never known what real contentment meant, until after the birth of my second child. I have but two children, and sweet children they are, t0o, and I love them with all my heart and soul, but I can not sec them, in truth 1 do not know where they are. Butto goback: After Jennie was born, my husband began to abuse me, and while he mever struck or beat me, he made me work to support him in idleness, and made our little home a hell on earth. sometimes, when in ill-health myself, our condition was really @ piteous one. ~ Often there wasn't a bite to .eat in the house, and myself and children would certainly have starved had it not been for the generous intervention of neighbors. A Jeat or s ago w came to Omaha, and I took n boarders, my husvand refusing to con- teibute to my own or the children’s support. Mr. Seward was one of our boarders. He used to bring things to eat to the house, for myself and the ckildren, and was very kind in other ways. Mr. Welch became jeal- ous and finally accused Mr. Seward of evil designs and said he had come there to break up our home. He left, and then my lot became a harder one than ever, my board- ersone by one departed, until I found myself in & position of abject want, One day in my dclpernflan 1sent for Mr. Seward. Imeant k him for aid. He came and my hus- ban met him, shook hands with him and asked him to smy with us. But he refused. After he had Mr. Welch called me all the frightful \ nnmen he was capable of, and I think be can use the vilest language that ever flowed from human ips. I left him then, and went to Mrs. ngreen’s on Sixteenth street, and took in sewing. Ho took the children from me, and kept up such & systematic course of perse- Flon that I was obliged to leave here secretly. I went to the corner of Ninth and Harney, and under the assumed name of Mrs, Stewart, again supported myself with the needle. I changed my name in order that he might not find me. Oh, yes, I saw Mr, Seward in the meantime. He was a true, good friend of mine and advised me to return to my husband and childrenand make another attempt to live happily. 1 did not do this—I knew that it was useless. No, God is my witness, there nre no improper relations existing between Mr. Seward and myself. I hardly think I would marry him were I released, but he has my undying gratitude. I declined his advice, to resume my story, and instead applied for as divorce in the courts here upon the grounds of non-support and extreme cruel Mr, Rich- ard Hall is my lawyer. On my taking this -u-’p Mr. Seward left Omaha. He went ackson, Mich. His mother was not ex- pected to live. Mr. Welch had threatened to ill us both, but Mr- vard did not leave through fear of him. He is a bully and a coward, of course, and no honest man need have any fear of such creatures as he. . Seward returned last Monday. for him to come to the Cozzens house, I have been residing for the past seve weeks, the change being made necessar, my husband ferreting me out at my previ- ous abode. I told M, Jnlhm. clerk at the Cozzens, asked to be protected from Mr. \\t‘lth ‘Well, Mr. Seward called on me. 1 told him my Situa- tion und he said he would see me through my troubles at any cost. Monday evening, while Mr. Seward and another gentleman, and three other Indies were in my room at the .hotel, my husband, with a policeman, ap- peared upon the scene and arrested us—that s, Mr. Seward and myself—upon a foul charge manufactured by that man.” uch ~ was the story of Mrs. Welsh, The husband’s narrative, of course, varies from the ubove, and in substance was as follows: “My name is W. P. Welch. s . E. Seward, a brakeman on the Union Pacitic railroad, is the name of my wife's seducer. They are both here under arrest. The day after Thanksgiving my wife abandoned her home and children and went off with this snake in human gui He took her to a ate boarding house on Cuming street, but boarded himself at the Cozzens hotel. The people at the Cuming street house put my wife out when they learned who and what she was, and she then went to the Cozzens. 1 took Oficer Johnson there last night and had them arrested on a charge of adultery. My wife's maiden name was Sarah Jane Beard. Her father wasa well-to-do farmer. 1 married her when she was a young girl. She was very pretty and 1loved her dea 1 made a good support for her and we were happy until Seward en- tered our home. He led my wife as honored my name und my children's and broke up my home. I should have killed him wonths ago. The world justifies all such killings, And I came very near murdering them both once. It wason the 19th of June last. Icaught them in the wine room of u saloon on Six teenth street. Her own father told me they were in there. 1went in with a club, but when I was about to strike them, I thought of my dear little boy and girl. Who would be left to for them! The thought un- manned me ? . 1 ve years vy stuble at the corner of Thirteenth and Howard streets. No, there is no possible prospect of a reconciliation between me and my wife—she has gone too far. 1 pity her. Being through with Mr. Welch the report sought out Mr. rd in his cell. He is rather a fine looking fellow, and seems in nowise disconcerted over the position in which he finds himself. He fully corrobo. rated the wife's story, and was emphatic in his denials of illicit relations with her. On being arraigned Mrs. Welch and Sew- ard both pleaded not guilty, and ready for trial the: pla bond of $00 each for their appearance next Friday afternoon, This bond they furnished and were released. BEDFORD DISGUSTED. Why He Has Been Prevented From Leaving the Counc A reporter for the Bee called yesterday on Councilman Bedford and playfully him what percentage ‘of the fifty por cent de manded by the councilmanic boodlers for voting aflirmatively on the gas bullu ex- pected to receive, Mr, Bedford swilod and said that he didn'y oy of the amount. . Thie i charge di him. He wasn't ' doin, that kind of business. The stand he h taken upoh the gas question had aiready tieen stated in the papers, The contract with the was company had been made by a preceding council. 1f the city owed the gas com- pany #I6,508557 Why the city should pay _thet am But as it appeared from the records, or at least from the showing of the city auditor the city owed only #2000, He favored the payment of that sum, and if the gas company held that more was due them they could take the mat- ter to the courts. That was the proper place to adjust the dificulty. That was why he favored the payment of the amount upon which there was no dispute. Mr. Bedford further said that on the ques- tion of the city hall he favored leaving the hall where it was originally intended to lo- cate it. He then said: *1 am tived of this business. 1 got tired last fall and if 1 could have done so would have resigned. But I could not do it without putting the city to the cost of ke to City Attorney and was told that it was his opinion if I resigned, as been elected at large, it would require another election all over the city to elect my succes- sor. That would require judges and clerks in every polling precinct in the city. Abouat that time, you kuow, we held u bond election, and T asked Mr. Webster whether the judges and clerks in that election could not act in a similar capacity in the clection of my succes- sor, and thus save cxpense. He said he did not think it could be, done. Tn othe he inclined to the belief that an of clorks aud jndgos should bo employed. Now in March we are going to hold_another election; this time, for bonds, and I had thought that at the,same time an_election could be called to seloct a successorto me,but 1 fear from Mr. Webster's opinion, the thing can’t be done. It is just like this [moving his hand back and forth], as to whether I re- main in the council. Last fall I got disgusted with the business. _It interferes with my pri- vate affairs, Now that I have taken the stand, I felt bound to take on the gas bill, if the gas company sees fit to do so, they may discontinue their relations with me, because Iscll them their coal.” D. T. Mount was present during the con- versation and held strongly to the opinion that the council could call a special_election for a successor to Mr. Bedford at the same time as the bond election in March, and_that the judges and clerks who'should officiate at that clection could act in the matter of the successor of Mr. Bedford at large. s hatey THE PACKEF \RSH.\IBI:Y. Sllnlh Omaha Meat Men Will Join the New District. For some time past a movement has been on foot to organize a district assembly of the Knights of Labor with headquarters at Chicago to be composed entively of packing house employes from that city, Omaha, St. Louis, Sioux City and Kansas City. The movement has been a successful one so far and although the members n this city are somewhat reticent concerning the matter a Bee reporter obtrined information yesterday morning that a decision had already been reached inthe matter by the local assem- blies in South Omaha and at the proper time all members employed in packing houses would withdraw from their local assemblies and ask for a charter for a new one which would be attached to the new district. The organization in South Omaha is especially strong, nearly nine-tenths of the men em- ployed being members. The object of this movement s to unify the interests of packing house men and by placing the control under one head so arrauge matters in the event of any difficulty arising concerted action may be relied upon. At ano very distant dato an eight hour working day will be decided upon and a movement inaugurated in its favor. The object cannot be accomplished without a struggle and in order to successfully cope with the difticulties in the way organization is needed. The final result in the matter may be ex- pected in a week or two. Th Wworkman will in_all probability be chosen from the Chicago de'egation, while it is un- derstood that Omaha and Kansas City each have a candidate for district worthy foreman and secretary. A St. Lowis member is also understood to be a candidate for master workman. The name of the new district will be “The Packers of America,” District No. ——.

Arise and Go Thy Way. “I say unto thee, arise, take up thy bed and go thy way into thine house, and immediately hé arose, took up his bed, and went forth before them all.” The audiences assembled at the Grand opera house during the past few weeks have been forcibly reminded of this vassage of the holy wri they saw one after another of the lame, halt and blind seek the powerful aid of Dr. French. What his gift of healing i what power he possesses cannot be factorily explained, but the sense of hearing cannot be denied, and those who were present saw evidences of a healing power they could not comprehend. Cripplés unable to walk have often laid aside their crutches, and the deaf whose ears had not heard in thirty ye haye been made to hear o whisper.” Eyesight has been restored, and the most excruciat- ing pains have been relieved. The great wonder is that Dr. French per- forms his cures publicly, and all are in- vited to witness them.

B Miranda's Luck, Miranda Hawkins, a servant girl employ of the Ixchange hotel at Omaha, came to the city yester o'clock to do some shopping. savings of nearly four wonths, amounting to £32, ina purse which she carried in o small hand bag. On her way down Teuth street the bag became opened and the purse*fell to the ground. It was notuntil she reached Farnam street that the poor girl discovered loss.

That's What the County Commis sioners Ask the Voters. PERSUADED BY COUNCILMEN Who Go Before the County's Legisla- ture With Tales of Woe and the Story of Their Ex- travagance. A Depleted Fund. Councilmen Hascall, Lee, Ford, Lowry, Manville and Kierstead, by way of prelude to their conference with the county commis- sioners yesterday in reference to voting £50,000 in county bonds for grading purposes, held a little tongue set-too regarding munici. pal affairs, and there was considerable loud talk engaged in, which was finally silenced by Chairman O'Keeffe ringing the bell on them. Mr. O'Keeffe said that as he under- stood the object of the mecting it was to hear from a committee of the council in reference to grading. Mr. Hascall replied that he did not under- stand it that way. It occurred to him that he had read it in the newspapers that the commissioners contemplated a call for an election for voting $50,000 in bouds for grad- ing purposes. Mr. O'Keeffe responded by saying that the commissioners had contemplated nothing of the kind, and furthermore they had never spoken on the subject. - He had been con- sulted by Councilman Lee in reference to voting on the bonds, and he (O'Keeffe) had said to Lee that there was no legal obsta- cles in the way to prevent the commissioners asking the legal voters of the county if they desired to vote the bonds. Councilman Lee said that the general fund of the city was exhausted, and that the coun- cil came to the commissioners as o favor. If any grading was to be done th arit was desirable that the county should stand her share of the expense, and it was his opinion that it would be a good investment, County Commissioner Turner was of the belief that the county had about all the ex- penses it could stand, and he couldn’t see how the county was to be benefited by grading in the city. Councilman Manville r(‘p(‘ntfll Cou Lee's statement that the city finances were somewhat depleted, and if any grading was to be done thi: ar the county would have to the council out. Councilman Hascall ridiculed and ¢ sed the people who had framed the city charter, alleging that they did not have the financial experience ne ry for such an undertak- ing. He alleged that the coun- cil would have to give up grading unless the county came in and helped them out, and he was positive that it would revert to the benefit of the county. For the council to stop grading would be a disaster to the city, and not a pleasant one to anticipate. The council, he confessed, had got themselves into a muddle over the city hall matter, but they expected to get out of tlw mire lh(‘\ had fallen iuto. Councilman Kierstead mlul that the grad- ing of streets would lead to improvements, and he knew of two streets that would put up $100,000 in buildings if they were graded. He thought Omaha could go a little deeper in its bonded debt, and he was confident that if the voting of $50,000 was submitted to the people it would be unanimously carried. Chairman O'Keefe was in favor of voting £0,000, as he thought that sum expended in either grading in or out of the city would be a benefit to the property owner and laboring man. He also took occasion to give the ex- travagant councilmen an underhand slap by saying “that it was true that the county got its work done cheaper than the city."” The councilmen went off on a new tack by talking upon the proposed $300,000 bonds for the Omaha, Yankton & Northwestern rail- way. Manville congratulated the commis- sioners for going slow, and Ford said that $100,000 spent in improving the county would be of more value to Omaha and Douglas co\\R!.v than would $600,000 spent on a rail- road. Dr. George Smith thought that the county should not stand in with the expenditure of money for city purposes. It occurred to him that living in the west end of the county, %\lm\m;{ within or up to the corporate limits, vould be of no benefit to him. Councilman Hascall responded by saying that the doctor was actuated by sympathy for people outside of O , whom Mr, Hascall had alw had a desire to reach. The only ‘way that this could be done was by grading and the expenditure ofmoney. More pro- gressiveness should actuate the people of Omaha and Douglas county and they sbouldn’t be afraid to spend a dollar. Dr. Smith denied that he was opposed to improvements, Far from it. The idea he wished to convey was that the city charter gave the council authority: to speid money and make levys for street improvements, which included grading, notwithstanding that the councilmen maintained that iv did not. Councilman Hascall insisted that the doc- tor did not have a correct knowledge of the stipulations of the charter. uncilman Kierstead spoke+in the same n, and was anxious to have the bonds vote Commissioner Turner confessed that he was at sea, and inquired of the councilmen if they did not have power to make a levy for grading. Councilman Kierstead replied that tho cost of grading was paid out of the balance inthe general fund, butthat owing to an overlap the council could not fall back on that this year. The councilmen then took their leave, and the commissioners began the umildmuuon of the proposition. Commissioner Mount submitted the follow- ing resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of this board thata proposition be submitted to the legal voters of Douglas county as follows: *‘Shall bonds of the county of Douglas be issued_in the sum of #50,000 for th cilman the resolution be referred to the committee on judiciary. This was seconded, but. before i vote could be tuken Mr. Mount arose and said that on account of the fact that he had proposed it and was chairman of the judiciary committee, he favored its going to some other committee. On his motion it was turned over t0 the finance committee, and the commis- sioners adjourned District Court.

' Soon after the disappearance of the sharper Raymond discovered that ne had been duped and immediately took steps to have the payment of the check stopped at his bank. BIG FRANK'S P. William Crawford. w] rged with complicity in the highway ml)l’u'! of which Frank Jones was convicted, comes up for trial this morning before Judge Groff. Police Court. Yesterday was the lightest morning for over a grear,but one drunk and no vagrants. There were several cases on warrants, however, among which was that of Dan Perkens, for larceny. He was fined £ and costs. Frank Rush and Joe Rich were up for fast driving. They were mulcted in the sum of $12.50 each. County Attorney Simeral conducted the case of the state vs James Murphy, who was arraigned before Judge Berka charged with attempting to cor- rupt a witness, Frank Field, in the case of the state vs Frank Jones, alias “Big Frank,” for highway robbery. Murphy, Field and Jones were all inmates of the jail. Field be- ing held as a_witness, and several days be- fore “‘Big Frank's” trial, Murphy ap- proached Field, and told him that if he would not testify against ‘‘Big Frank” he would seo that 'he, Field, got his watch and 850 back. This is the property Field was “‘heid up” for by Big Frank. This all came out in the latter's trial, and on Murphy’s re- lease from jail this morning he was rear- rested on the charge above stated. He pleaded innocence of any inteutional wrong, and begged to be allowed to go. The court, held that he was old enough to know right from wrong, and besides this was a consort of desperate criminals, and bound him over in the sum of §300. Real Estate Transfers.
