o WAS ENTIRELY T00 FRESH, Walt Seeley’s Officiousness Re- oeives a Merited Rebuke. BOUNCED HIM OUT OF THE CLUB. Lincoin Republicans Elect Delegatos to the Omaha Convention—A Ite- ward For Moeller—A Dead Man Found. Secley's OMclousness Rebuked. Brsserr, Neb, March 8—(Correspon- sfence of the Bee.]—An enthusiastic meeting of the Bennett Republican club was held here last night, in which the special feature was a merited rebuke to Walt M. Seeley for officious interference in the affuirs of the club. *_ At a former meeting a delegation to the state convention of republicans clubs to be held in Omahiw March 15, was selected, con- aisting of D. H. Harrs, G, W. Egleston and ' Walt Secley, and was so reported to the Lin- "“epln Journal by the secretary, but Seeley sent in a different report to the same paver, in which he placed his own name at the head f the delegation instead of at the foot, and e some other variations from tho facts /r"Which did not suit the club. So, at this meeting a resolution was passed unani- mously rebuking Seeley’s action, and direct- the secrotary to send his roports here- r.to the Lincoln News for publication. ot deeming this enough, the club then re- considered its former selection of u delega- fon to Omaha, and elected a new one with ley’s name left off entirely, and Samuel iiton in bis place. The other members of the delegation were unchanged. It is re- ported that Seeloy will try to organize an- other club to send him to Omaha, but where he will get the members {8 unknown. Prominent republicans here say that the action of the club will make twenty-five votes in the precinct which Seeley has driven out of the party by similar acts of unwarranted sssumption in the past. s A Deaa Boay Found.

They uncovered him sufficiently to see that he was about thirty grears old and very thinly clad, with only a ‘thin cap, an old worn black coat, blue over- alls, light brown hair and short and thin curly beard. The presumption is that he was some poor fallow looking for work who was overtaken by the blizzard of January 12, no “‘one being heard of as missing from that neighborhood. vidently he is from some distance. +* 1 GeNOA, Neb., March 6.—[Special Telegram ““to the Bee.]—A man was found this morning dead in a hay stack about seven miles cast of Genoa.

Kavsas City, March 6.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.—Dave Fisher, a colored ruffian, was arrested at Independence, about ten miles from here, about midnight yester- day, for brutally outraging Mrs. Libbie Heb- erlin, a respectable married woman,employed in the Merchants hotel at that place. Last night when Mrs. Heberlin started home she inquired about her husband, whom she ex- pected to accompany her. Dave Fisher, who was loafing around the hotel, told her that her Lusband was down at the stable, hurt, and at the Instance of Fisher she accompan- ied him to the barn, Upon arriving there, instead of finding her husband, asshe ex- pected, she was outraged. Fisher attempted to repeat his crime, when Mrs. Heberiin re- covered and screamed for help. Some persons ‘who were in the vicinity =~ came to her rescue and succeeded in capturing the negro. Happen- ing late at night, the offense was not gen- erally known until to-day, when the excite- ment ran to fever heat. The officers became alarmed for Fisher's safety, and_deciaed to remove him to this city. This became known and & crowd began to gather at the jail. Soon after Fisher, guarded by five officers and & dozen negroes, emerged from the jail and started for . the ‘depot. A rush was made by the mob to gain possession of the fiend, and a hand to hand fight ensued all the way to the depot between the mob and the guards. Fisher was finally gotten aboard the train, however, and arrived here to-night. He asserted that the woman is of bad character, and the deed was not an out- rage, but the finger marks on Mrs. Heberlin's throat and the bruises on the person, show this statement to be false. Mrs. Heberlin is in a precarious condition, but it is thought she will survive, . pe CHARGED WITH ABORTION. A Secnsation at 8t. Joseph- Which In- volves a Prdminent Physician.

New Recrults Desert the “Q."” KAxsas City, March 6.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—1t seems to be the inten- tion of the brotherhood to continue its pres- ent mode of warfare on the Chicago, Bur- Imgton & Quincy, and until the road shows more evidence of victory than at present it is not probable that any more radical meas- ures will be resorted to. The local commit- tee men state that the conference that is in session at Chicago was called, not for the purpose of agreeing upon. any measures to force the strike, but for the purpose of bring- ing.to Chief Arthur the local heads of the or- ganization that he might get a better grasp on the runs of the brotherhood to enable him to act more promptly and effitiently in case of an emergency. The men declare that the road is gaining no ground, and that the outlook for the cause is brighter than ever. They claim that it would be impossi- ble for the road to run all its trains according t0 schedule even if it had a sufficient number of men to do so, as the danger of filling the road with trains all run by new men would be too great for the road to incur. The rail- road officials continue to assert that the road is rapldly getting back into shape and that, far as the Burlington system is concerned, rike 18 over. The trains continue to arrive and depart with about the same regu- larity as during the past few days. No.8on the Kaunsas City, St. Joseph & Council Blufte? and No. 15 on the Haunibal were marked “'abandoned” and most of the other passengsr trains were from twenty minutes to two hours late. A freight was _ sent out over the Kansas City & St. Joseph this morning. ~There has been . no trouble in the yards since yesterday morning. The Rock Island had two savitch engines haul- ing its cars this morning. The Rock laland ofticials say that matters have been satisfao- torily arranged with the strikers and that they anticipate no more trouble with their engincers in the yards here. The strikers are very active in watehing the yards, and everything that looks to them at all suspi cious is at once reported to the committee for mvestigation. The local committee holds two regular meetings a day and many called meetings. Some engineers and firemen to take the places of the strikers came in from st this morning. They wero at once in hand by the strikers and several ‘of them promised not to go to work. One' of them said ay “1 came to Brookfield with twelve others from Freeport, Iil Seven of tho purty wero eugiiears gnd six were firemen, but they h: not been working on locomotives for some time.

MeNDoTA, IlL, March 6.—One . of the new Burlington engineers -went over ta the strikers to-day, and in consequence the . frain on the branch which should have left at 7 a. m. is still here to-night. Four freight trains were run into the yards this evening with orders to wait until morning be! proceed- ing further. A number of traveling men who stopped over to-day expecting to reach Galesburg to-night were disappointed, as the train which should have arrived at 8:10 p. m. was abandoned and consolidated with one which passes at 1 a. m. ‘Workingmen, Stand Together. LixcoLxs, March 3.—To the Editor of the Ber: I wish to say a few words on the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quiney strike as I see it. Though not the largest strike, I consider it the most important that ever ocourred in this country. Shouid the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy be, successful in freezipg out the bratherhood men I cousider it a death. blow to all labor organizations in this country. 1t should be remembered that foreigy eorpo- rations are the most oppressive monopolics in this country. They have no sympathy for or interest in their employes and weuld re- duce them to serfdom if they could profit by 8. Ihave, howev“{ L\:o much confidence in the honesty and 1\1:5 of the business men and the people gersarally to believe that they will ever accomplish $heir purpose. Should the Chic: Burlington & Quincy become masters of pituation, there will soon be a reduction of wages whore foreign capital predominates. IA reduction of wages means a decreas® of ' business and less grom. on small’’ mnunenb.

The latter élass are sometimes forced to work fiém ten to thirteen hours and receive no extra'édhpensation for the ex- tra time. The laté Olivrles O'Conor said “‘a corporation is a ththg 'without a soul to save, & hell to shun or a hedven to gain.” The con- duct of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy would confirm O'Conor's defimtion of the word corporation. I have too much confi- dence in the honesty, charity and executive ability of T. V. Powderly and the willingness of Mr. Arthur to repair the wrongs of the Reading trouble, as far as in him lies, to al- low the enemy to divide the ranks of the la- ‘boring men. United we succeed, divided we sleep the sleep from which no labor organi- zation awaketh.

INVESTIGATING TRUSTS. Report of the New York Legislative Committee. ALBANY, March 6.—The general laws com- mittee which has been taking testimony in New York recently on trusts of various kinds, made its report to-day. The report says: ‘‘However diffcrent the influences which gave rise to these combinations may be, the main purpose, management and effect of all upon the public is the same, to-wit: Aggregation of capital; the power of con- trolling the manufacture and output of vari- ous necessary commodities; the acquisition or destruction of competitive propertics, all leading to final and conclusive rurpn!es of anibilating competition and enabling combi- nations to fix the price at which they would purchase the raw material from producers, and at which they would sell the refined pro- duct to consumers. In any event, the public ateach end of the industry—producer and consumer—is, and is intended to be, in a cer- tain sense, at the mercy of the syndicate, combination or trust.” The report recom- ‘mends new legislation, and that the attorney general proceed against the violators of law. e MRS.

What reaches me is to the following effect, which rominds me of the plot of a novel or drama: The duke is known many years ago to have formed 8" desp nttachment for a lady under, cirgumstances which gave rise to a general impression that some form of marriage ceremyony had taken place. The Indy had Mved tn'great snclusion, and after a time, was at last forgotten by those who had frequently. apeculated on her relation to the duke. Sintéthit period the duke is known 10 fiave been reticent on the subject. One fact was frequently remarked by his intimate friends that he was naver known to acknowl- edge in any shape Henry Manners as the presumptive heir, although never denying the apparent heirship of his brother, Lord John Mannerss ¥ Verious causes were assigned for this, but o one ventured to address the duke any 1hquiry on so delicate a suoject. It was, however, universally felt to be strange that the next heir in tho ordinary course of events ~for his father had reachod the scriptural #pah of Tifo—should receive no recognition direct or fndirect from the duke, particularly as Henry Manners—now by courtesy, if the prestimptiveheir,the Marquis of Granby—was of ‘irreproachable character and had long filled a position of trust and responsibility as firat private sécretary to the prime minister. But an explanationof tho mystery is now given by the rumor and if it is true it is amply sufficient to account for the duke's re- serve toward Henty Manners, It isjsaid the rightful heir to the Dukedom is forthcoming in the person of the eldest son of the late duke by his secrot marriage with the lady with whom many years ago he fell in love. His existence, it is authoritatively said, has long been suspected by Lord John Manners, and now communi- cations have been made which leave no doubt that the claimants will shortly appear on the scene. I am told, however, that & great doubt exists in the minds of the Man- ners family as to the validity of the marriage in question, and that their rights will certainly not be aband- oned without a struggle. It may e the question will have to be decided by a law suit before the house of lords or that a private settlement may be arrived at. duke's exclusive kunsfolk. After the funcral on Friday there will not be much probability of either & new writ must be moved for to fill up the seat left vacant, if thero be o true transfer of Lord John Manners to the peers, or else any®elay in moving for the writ would Indicate that the claiment was about to take steps to make good his pretensions and and that the posi- tions of Lord John Manuers and his son Henry were doubtful. e QI.JERTIUN TIME. secrecy for A Curious Feature of Parliamentary Life—King Jaw Jaw. (Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, March. 6.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—In the mem- bers’ lobby to-night there were many eager inquirics and some curious reports were afloat. Who is to have Lord John Manners’ office or will anybody have it. Strange sto- ries are in the air. Some of them are true. Lord John will not yet pass to the upper house at any rate. The survivor of the youug England party, the life-long friend of Dis- raell will not leave us just yet. Then thero is much gossip over Lord Ran- dolph’s probable iineon Thursday night. - Is he going to attack the government over its estimates fire a broadside into the system of which they are the product. In either case he cannot fail to make some very damaging diselosures concerning the extravagance and folly of the English army administration and if the government defends the system they will be seriously damaged. Then it isknoxn that a great scandal in connection with con- tracts will be brought before the house by two or three independent members. Alto- gother, Thursday night will be full of inter- est. Perhaps something more than a knowl- edige of that fact would alone have caused to- night's proceedings to have fallen very flat, even if the subjects under debate had been of a far more exciting character thau they were. Question time produced a little incident or two of transient interest. At this particu- ar hour ministers are put upon the rack and made to disclose their ininost thought, unless they are cleveres than the questioners. It1s the custom to hand in the inquiries a day or two before hand and they are printed on the orders the of day, In addition to the printed questions -others muy bo put, though the to answer volley rattled of the ministers. war or ministers’ are not obliged them.

Ja Ja's cause is vig- orously espoused by William Redmond, who asked 80 many questions about him that at last Mr. Smith got up and protested that nothing was to be talked about to-night but Ja Ja, who s now better known in the house as King Jaw Jaw. However he was at last bustlied off the stage though he is to make his appearance again every night until farther notice unless a new turn of affairs should arise and snuff him out finally. One hour having boen spent over private bill and s good deal more over the questions, at last we got to the business of the evening, further alterations in the rules of the houso. The Scotchmen asked for a grand committee to look after their own affairs. Someo tories saw in this an insid- fous design to smuggle in & scheme for home rule for Scotland. Once start that here and it will run for hours, It bounded along at a spanking rate until dinner time then Mr. Gladstone checked its mad career. He laughed at the idea 0f home rule being con- cealed under such an innocent proposition. He referred to himself as a Scotch member, the last capacity, he said, in which he was 1l to appear in the house and then, as if unwilling to limit the possibilitios of his own future carcer he added: I mean the latest in point of time.” That loft every- thing judiciously open for another charcter- istic bit which fell from him. He said he had tried to get the Scotch business bettor looked after. “In that work I have exerted such ingenuity as nature or practice may have given me.” This modest allusion to his parliamentary ingenuity, which has never been equalled, produced a burst of laughter and cheers. After that furthe speech was in vain. The leader ofr both sides went away to dinner and the speaker retired to scramble down the mutton chop on which he is traditionally supposed to dine. Every night from 3 o'clock till 12 this is the only respite lre can get and it lasts only a half hour. The remainder of the night was spent in further discussion and a gentle dull- ness premeated the place.

The stor appears under the head ‘A Big Spud,” reads as follows: ‘‘There fs a big potato on exhibition down at the Conti- nental hotel bar that is perhaps the most immense vegotable grown in this conntry or any other. It was raised by A. Lapelle, teu miles north of this city, and measures 11 feet in length, 3} feot in diameter, and 9 feet in circumfer- ence, and when weighed on a_pair of hay scales was found to tip the beam at 838 pounds. When Mr. Lapelle was digging his potatoes last fall and came across this monster he thoughtat first he had struck the root of the giant yamahe- tus,a tree of the eucalyptus order.now ex- tinet. Further investigation, howeve oved it to be a potato. It took thr men and a span of horses a day and a half to dig this potato out of the ground. It was then swung upon a big logging truck and brought to town. Though it ; seem curious, this potato is as fine grained as its smaller brethren, and when sliced up and fried cannot be dis- tinguished from an ordinary potato of good quality. The above figures may not be exact, as the editor lost his notes on the subject, and is compelled to rclf on memory, but they are near enough for all practical purposes, and offer a weighty argumentin favor of the pro- ductiveness of our Pacific soik.”” ‘Are the bhest months in which arcn: e blood.

Cnicaco, March 0.—(Special Telegram to the Brr.]~There was not much interest in the wheat market this morning. As for sev- eral days past the corn deal was much more attractive to local traders. Wheat prices run along with very slight variations from day to day with everybody waiting for something to turn to get them out of the rut. wheat opened at $03(¢ and directly sold down to 80};@80%¢c, turned Lackward and on the up turn touched Sic,fell to 803%c and for the remainder of the session held between 803 @803%c and 803¢c, closing at 1 o'clock at 803/@S03e. June wheat opened at 810, sold up to 81%¢ and closed at 81}5c at 1 o'clock. May corn opened at 53lye, which was lower than last night's close, under the in- fluence of larger receipta than was expected, but the bearish-minded scalpers were disappointed agnin. There were plenty of buying orders and when the price began to advance eatly, the sellers were the sharp- est bidders and there was a steady advance to 5dc, when the balance turned the other way and with more sellers than buyers, a down turn began, which, with lively fluctu- ations 1n the meantime, finally brought May delivery to 53%@b3lge, but thore were not more than one or two transactions at that price and the 1 p. m. close was at biig@53%o. June corn opened at 52]gc, sold early atb53% @ 52340, then up to 53%@53lgc and closed at 1 o'clock h3e. The volume of trade was large and outside speculators appear to have taken hold of eorn. The short interest is largely of the kind that runs to cover and presontly tries it again, at a higher level, and is no therefore at any time elminated from the market. The same cause which brought about a bulge early in the winter, namely short crops is talked about as au inducement 0 present good buying, but probably a stronger influence is the railroads strike, and the belief that it will spread and out oft receipts in this market. The present re- ceipts, however, are not small, and even the Burlington road brought in some corn to-day. Hutchinson was one of the principal corn buyers to-day. There was quite an active trade in oats, and prf vanced in sympathy with corn. The prices of May and June oats was identi- cal, Both opened at 317¢e, sold up to 824c, and closed at 32'¢c. July oats wold up from 304c to 8030. August onts were nominally 2. Provision trade showed increased strength. In the absence of any concerted action upon the part of the old bear element the market recovered somewhat from yesterday's de- pression. Speculation, however, was slow, and excepting the buying of one or_two pork shorts and improved cash demand for tho product the days business was featurcless, Pork led in interest in future trading, and at 1p. m. was be higher than last night's clos- ings.
