BROUGHT DOWN A BURGLAR. Young Frank Hummel Painfully ‘Wounds a Midnight Marauder. HE PROVES TO BE ED WILLIAMS, The Police Track Him By the Trail of Blood and Effect His Capture— . Funeral of Mrs. Helen Howard. Had a Hot Reception. In the future the family of Dr. Hummel opn sleep the sleep of the just, conscious that hereafter all burglars will carefully boycott their residence, at 8013 Leavenworth street, on account of & warm reception given a mem- ber of the craft at an early hour yesterday morning. There have been a number of bur- glaries in that vicinity of late, but no clue to the perpetrators. About 4:30 yesterday morning Dr. Hummel was awakened by the noise of one of these housebreakers in his parlor. Awakening his son Frank the two slipped upstairs and loaded their shotgun. The doctor cocked both barrels and handed the weapon to his son, who, by the way, is a great hunter and splendid shot. Frank was to slip around to the front window through which the burglar had gaiued entrance and stand on guard. The doctor armed himself with the ax and stood near the folding doors, on the other side of which stood the burglar trying to open them by soft and continued pressure, Unfortunately in_going through the back door Frank allowed it to shut with a slam, and the thief, taking ularm, jumped through the window and over the fence. As Frank slipped from behind the house he saw the game escaping and jumped over the fence in pursuit. But in getting over one of the ham- mers struck the fence and one barrel was exploded, The report of ‘the gun added speed to the flying burglar's feet and he paid 10 attention to Frauk's cry of “halt.” Young Hummel then fived 1 of agony fol- Jowed from tho thief, who, dropping his boodle, consisting of lace curtains and a rug, darted off in tHe darkness with the speed of the wind. Frank next went to the police box on the corner of Leavenworth and Park ave- nue, got the key and called the patrol wagon. 'This action of Young Hummel was instru- mental in an carly capture ot the burglar. A squad of officers were dispatchied to the scenc in the patrol wagon. Meanwhile day had commenced to dawn and the tracks of the burglar were piainly marked in the newly fallen snow, accompanied by a trail of blood, The ofticers started on this trail and followed it over hill and ravine until it stopped at a shauty on the corner of Twenty-sixth and Capitol avenue. Inside were found two negroes in bed, both of whom claimed they had not been outsideall night. On_examin- ing the coat of one of them, named Ed. Will- fams, the tail was found to be riddled with shot. Williams was told to get out of bed and he trembling obeyed. ~His back and Jower limbs were found to be a mass of minute wounds. One of the oficers remarked hout the strong smell of kerosene, when illams’ room-mate remarked, “Ed’s been usin’ kahsene on them woun's. Las’ night I buufhtn gallon of it an’ this mawning they aln't enough of it left to staht the flah.” The cers told Williams to go with them and ey would get more coaloil for him. He was taken to the central police station and Dr. Ralpn was sent fo Armed with a pair of pincers, the doctor turncd Williams on his stomach and commenced to squeez out the shot. As cach grain was thus removed the fact was heralded throughout the jail by a howl of pain from the darkey. No less than thirty shot were removed, some of them from his right hand. When visited by the reporter lliams was found still lying on h very much subdued by his ex- rience. ‘The police think he_is résponsible orall the late burglaries in Dr. Hummel's peighborhood, as his room mate says that ‘Willlams has been in the habit of lying en his bed at night without taking off his clothes, and still later getting up and disappearing for hours at a_time. ~ Williams is the step- father o Mattie Woods, the colored courtesun who attempted to kill Editor Green, of the Truth, some few months ago. HELEN HOWARD'S FUNERAL. Ryan's Victim Laid at Rest in Forest Lawn. Three carriages and a hearse drew up in front of the building No. 416 North Sixteenth street, about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, where a gaping crowd of men and boys stood stamping their fuet on the snow-covered flags. A rosette of crape pinned to the street door; leading to the upper floor swayed to and fro with the wind, and intensified the dreari- ness of the surroundings, Every now and then the door swung on its hinges, to admit girls and women of various ages whose evi- dent object in visiting the place was to sat- {sfy their feminine curiosity, for it was in the building mentioned that the body of Mrs, Helen Howard, the unfortunate woman slain last Friday night in a wine room by Frank B. Ryan lay in a coffin awaiting the final oftice of the undertaker. In a room right off the head of the stairs rested the coffin that contained the corpse of the woman. A large skylight admitted the light, which fell on the pale snd distorted features of the wvictim whose untimely and sensational tak- glg off has shocked the community, robbed a usband of a wife and an aged father and aother of a beloved child. As the hundreds women passed the bier and looked upon $he face of the dead, tears streamed from ir eyos and stitled sobs broke in upon the #tillness of death. The only floral offering was a wreath of roses, the gift of the family, #nd which rested on the lid of the coftin. Shortly after 2 o'clock Rev. Mr. House, of the First M. E. church, arrived and read the burial service, after which he delivered a short but impressive address. Mr. House dwelt on the uncertainty of life, and im- ressed upon his hearers the importance of ing prepared to mect the summons of the Supreme Ruler. He referred to the tragedy the lesson it teaches others to shun ::unu of vice and sin, and the company of sinful and designing men. A number of women were overcome by the impressiveness of Mr. House's remarks, and a number sobbed outright during its delivery. After offering the benediction, Mr. House took his leave, there having been no vocal or instru- mental exercises. Next the family took final leave of the re- mains. The bereaved husband came first, and as he gazed for the lust time on the com- Panion of his joys and sorrows, his face be- came suffused with tears, and with a bound and sigh of anguish buried himself from gaze in an adjoining room, Willie Scott, the half- sister, was also visibly affected. The voor ld mother, bowed down with the weight of er sorrow and misfortune, sat in the kitchen and was consoled by nymrn(mz‘mg friends d acquantances. She did not look upon @ corpse, as her mental and physical powers were 80 shattered that it was not thought best for her to undertake i Funeral Director Drexel conducted the obsequies, and shortly before 8 o'clock the 1! was screwed down, and the face Helen Howard was forever shut out from the light of day. Then the pall-bearers,—who gwere L. 8§ E:;lne, Patrick McGahen, M. Soule, George mson, John Callahan, Henry Hartner— jped the handles of the coMn and carried down stairs, followed by Mrs. Scott, weep- Ing and moaning, leaningon the arm of her nl:—in aw, Mr. Howard, Willie Scott and step-father, Dr. Webber and other friend: the family, The carriages were quick and the cortage moved slowly to Forest jwn where all that was mortal of the un- rtunate woman was counsigned to mother s CONGRESSMAN McSHANE. What He Has to Say About Legisla- tion For Omaha. Hon. J. H. McShane returned to Omaha after several weeks' absencc in his congressisnal duties at the national capitol, - Jt conversation with a Bree reporter last eyening he expressed himself as highly with the work done by Nebraska's at Washington the present session. i spoke very hopeful of Omaha's securing than $400,000 for ner new poetoffice. matter, he said, was now with the con- A U &Vl A AN 8 AN 1 Lo B AW SR 1K s 1 b, . ferente committee, and they intend to take advantage of their privileges by putting their report in such shape that it can’t be besten in the house. This conference commttes con- sists of six members, threa from the senate and three from the house. The members from the house were named by Mr. McShane, and of course are partial to Omaha, and those from the senate ho says are also favorable. Mr. McShane related in an interesting man- ner the way the bill was gotten tfimu.h congress, and gives the entire Nebraska del- egation credit for hard and faith- ful work in securng its _passage. It passed the senate very readily. To secure its early consideration in the house Mr. Mc- Shane got it well up on the calendar. He in getting it in so early, as as only one bill passed after nfior 200 bills presented only twelve passed. One thing that helped its quick passage through the house, was the fact that it was passed on the day on which the consideration of such bills ended and the other congressmen who had similar bills and were impatient to have them reached that day helped hurry through the Omaha bill. In speaking of the proposed removal of Fort Omaha, Mr, McShane said that Gen- eral Sheridan had told him that he was in favor of a rermmmm and strong fort near Omaha, but he wanted it further away from the city. It was necessary for the discipline of the troops. In its present location he was not in favor of spending a single dollar upon it. Mr. McShane says that Omaha will have to demonstrate to the house of representa- tives that the government will not be out anything by the removal of the fort. The probable appropriation for its removal will be $200,000. The house must be made to understand that the present grounds can be sold for that i vided up into lots and sold it can be disposed of for about that amount. If sold in the bulk, as has been suggested, to the fair and exposi- tion company, it probably will not bring near that amount. If the fort is finally located near Omaha its removal will not be above ten mil When Mr. MeShane was asked as to the rumored changes in the editorial department of the Herald he looked consider: prised and said that he knew nothin ever about, them and that the rumors were ill-founded. AMUSEMENTS. The Carleton Concert at the Grand Opera House. The Carleton Opera company gave a concert to.a large audience at the Grand opera house last night. The programme consisted of six- teen numbers and introduced all the principal vocalists of the organization. The main ac- companiment was by the Musical Union or- chestra, the work of which, in its overtures as well as accompaniments, was very good. Mr. Murray sang “Let All Obey” in a very acceptable manncr. Miss Tellula Eyans warbled Solomon’s bird song with excellent taste, displaying more flexibility in her voice than had before been noticed in her efforts. Mr. T. Carleton’s first number was cador,” which was sung with force ing and with excellent voice, secur- triple _recall. His “The Psalms,” was the ~ same magnificent Mr. J. C. Taylor sang “Dreamiug” in sweet and full voice and was warmly recalled. C. H. Drew experienced similar *treatment for the easy rendering of Offenbach's “‘Pretty New Stewpan.” Miss Alice Vincent's lul- laby fromy “Ermnic" was sung very sweetly with a hidden chorus and was warmly re- called. The other featuresof the programme were mainly a repetition of those referred to, and retained the audience which was most demoustrative until th MUS.

Mrs. Howard's Slayer € ion at the Jail. jall immediately, Ryan has Such was the message re- ceived by Dr. Ralph, the city physician, while preparing to retire about 10 o'clock last even- ing. The doctor hurriedly redressed, gathe ered together some einetics, sprang into his curriage and furiously dushed towards the central station. Meanwhile there was o hurrying and scampering of feet and for once the usually sleepy crowd of officers lounging about the central station curtailed their cat naps, and put a little activity into their move- ments. A mattress was laid out in the corrl- dor of the jail and the slayer of Mrs. Howard was picked up from the floor of the death cell and varried out to the cot in a fainting condition. ~ A bucket of water ~ was brought and the officers bathed his head in hopes of resuscitatin, him, while the bleared and dirt begrimed inmates of the various cells crowded up to the bars and peered furtively at the prostrate woman-slayer. In a few moments Ryan opened his eycs and officer Shoop, who was bending over him. askad him how he felt. *'Oh, [ feel bad!” he replied, and before the officer could again say anything Ryan continued, *'Did that funeral take place to- day? Yes," replied Shoop. “Oh, my God is it possible! TI'll swear to heaven that [ did not iutentionally kill her, even if they hang me to-morrow for it.’ And he again closed his cyes, Ina short time Dr. Ralph arrivgl and examining the pupils and eyes of thestricken man asked him 1f he had not taken morphine. ‘'No,” said Ryan, “not to-day.” ‘The doctor, however, was incredulous and forced a powerful emetic down his throat. A severe fit of vomiting ensued, and the doc- tor, upon examination, thought Ryan was right in his assertion that he had taken no poison. The physician again subjected him to an examination, and a BEE man who stood near asked: “Well, doctor, what Is the matter with him " ““He is suffering from a severe attack of nervous prostration,” replied the doctor; ‘‘he has stood the strainy on his ves about as long as he can and he has now lost control of himself and gone to pieces. 1 do not think he has taken any poison.’” The doctor, however, stayed with the sick man until about midnight and then left, giv- ing orders to the police to telephone any changes for the worse. At the time Ryan was stricken he was sitting on a bench in his cell, when the police were suddenly startled by a groan, followed by the sound of his fail- ing body. BACK FROM Tllfi“ JAUNT. The County ' Commissioners Return From Jail Visiting. Yesterday the county commissioners, Messrs. W. J. Mount, L. M. Anderson, Richard O'Keeffe, W, R. Turner and Jacob Corrigan, returned to Omaha after a week's jaunt among the leading cities of the west and an examination of the different jails in each. The cities visited were Lincoln, Kan- sas City, St. Lows and Chicago. As the re- sult of their trip they returned home satis- fled that in cleanliness, discipline and economy the Douglas county jail is ahead of anything they saw in their absence. The only disadvantage that this jail suffers is insufficient space for the inmates. Mr. Mount says thatthe St. Louis and Chicago jails aro larger considerably than Omaha’s, but the management of them falls behind Sheriff Coburn and his assistants. The Kansas City jail, he says, is the worst den he eversaw. It is filthy, cramped, and utterly without discipline. The prisoners were yell- ing and whooping like I[ndians, as tho there was no one in charge of them. The o prison was the best he saw during The,place is well kept, even to_the hich aro adorned with' white pillow and sheets. Kach prisoner there costs the county but 221§ cents aday. The ex- pense of each at St. is 40 cents per per head, and at Kansas City the s At the Chicago_jail the commi: the Chicago boodlers, and young Lee, who recently murdered his stepfather. ‘At St: ;‘..ul.la they met Maxwell, the murderer of Preller. Mr. Mount is in favor of cnlarging the Douglas county jail as soon as possible by adding another story and extending the building. Jailed a Soldier. Samuel Hess, one of the boys in blue, while drunk yesterday afternoon gotinto trouble with Katie Bell, one of the occupants of the Bank’s block, and drew his revolver, threat- ening to kill her. As he wore asharp- shooter’s pin, sh e was afraid he might be able to carry out his threat, and therefore ran into the street calling for the police. A passing ofticer responded and the belligerent warrior was disurmea and locked up. Special to the Shoe Dealgrs. The H. T.

Kansas City Star: As weather proph- ets who hardly ever go astray in their prognostications, the colored people ead the world—civilized and savage. Their storm legends are without num- ber, and although there is no literature peculiar to this class, the old supersti- tions are handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation and faithfully preserved in the memories of these credulous folk. One old colored ‘“‘uncle” who lives just beyond Westport, but who does odd jobs about the city aided by a dun col- ored mule, appeared the other morning with his feet tied up in_the usual allot- ment of gunny sack. His pedal extrem- ities were warm, and the old man as a natural consequence, felt comfortuble and talkative. On the sidewalk, near the head of Main _ street, wh VIgorous capers showed that the dilapidated shoes illy protected his feet from the cold. Pulling up his mule witha *‘whon dar you!” the old man leaned towards his neighhor with the inquir *Mo'nin’, Mis dem gunnysackin’? **Ain't got nun, no mo’.” “What you dun wid dem?” “T dun frowed dem away two wecks ago.
