Charges of Bribery and Embezzlement Freely Circulated. + New York, March 27. - [Special Telogram to the Bee.]—The Herald, in an interview ~~with E. L. Andrews, one of the counsel for the Denver Pacific bondholders, does not mention Jay Gould by name, but calls him the “Corsair,” or *‘George Gould’s father.” Androws said: “For two months past George Gould -has been making continued “efforts to negotiate a settloment of this mat- ter. He sentdifferent financiers and law- yers to see us for that purpose. Our reply ‘was, of course, that we would always pe willing to let Mr. George Gould’s father _comply with the terms of tho law which en- ubles him to make restitution of the property he is accused of having embezzeled. If he ‘wanted to arrange a basis of settlement this + " way would always be open to him. As these .. megotiations progressed, George Gould en- .+ @eavored to bribe the counsel for the prose- cution by offering them large fees on condi- - -tion that they would sacrifice the interests of their clients. In other words, if they would abandon the case against Russell 1 Bage and the Corsair, Here Mr. George Gould’s father was named. These offers ¥ ere made by George Gould in person. They were promptly réjected. Mr. Geo. Gould * offered §30,000 in one sum to one of the coun- sel, he also said he would buy the district y¥atorueys Parties are ready to make affida- © yit'to ail the circumstances connected with (£ these negotiations. The most important in- ~ terview in connection with the negotiations . foolk place botween Mr. George Gould and myself, or between myself and a_prominent lawyer, who s intermediary in the matter, ‘was busily engaged upon it for several weeks, swe supposing all tho time that they intended restitution. I shall withhold the nume of the prominent lawyer for the present. He is not of the corsair’s regular counsel.” The Sun’s interview with Gould credits him as saying that the paper is the Herald, and explains the hostility as dating back when the clder James Gordon Benneit had hisson elected director of the American cable company, which was a part of the Western Union. ~ “Young Bennett immediately de- manded that the Herald’s news should 'have precedence over other papers and lower rates. 1 thought the company a busines con- cern and all papers should be treated alike, “Mr. Bennett continued to demand, and said ; ‘11 it was not complied with he would start a Tiew company. He was dropped as a director «-and hunted up John W. Mackay to build the Commercial, which has not proved profitable, "Chis is tho history of the animosity of the aper. .+ In speaking of the proposed indictment #iGould said: * “Before 1 went to Kurope many suggestions and overtures were made ‘“to mo that might settle the case. I would s mot, My principle through life has boen not “to give one cent_for blackmail but millions for defence, I declined all propositions for settling the matter. My son George was left %o face these people. I hadn’t got_ fairly on before the leading counsel for the al- bond holders called to see George. He ‘was modest_enough to say the whole matter xould be settled for $500,000." “What did George say {! “Told the visitor he hadn't that much ~money himself, that he couldn’t communicate with me and that he did’t see very well how " the matter could be settled, as it was in the _ hands of the district attorney who had to do his duty, and if Mr. Sage and 1 were guilty ‘there could be no possible settlement of the _.case. George was notified later mn the day ““that if he did not settled before midnight the wWwhite flag would be pulled down and war de- clared. George saw the white flag go down. They then tried to have Mr. Sage settle and offered to do the business for him in good for $100,000." s “Why did they reduce the price to Mr. WOh, 1 suppose becauso they know his monoy doesn’t run as swift and easily as the falls at Niasgara. 1 can't understand” to this day why they wanted meto pay §500,000 ;while Mr, Sage, my co-trusteo, was to be let Off with §100,000.” it yr—— 1he Anti-Poverty Orowd. ° NEw Yonrk, March 27.—[Special Telegram ;80 the Bre]—The anvual antipoverty ‘h:mwtmg was held at Cooper union last even- ! fpg.

AFRAID OF POOR ENGINEERS. Omaha Switchmen Give the True Reason For the Strike. BUT VERY FEW CARS MOVED. Four or Five Scabs Go to Work —¥ard- men at Lincoln Quit—No New Developments at Other Points. Al of Them Out. Last night brought out few new develop- ments in the switchmen's strike on the B, & M., but there is a decided difference notice- able in the number of cars handled. For- merly there was an average of 120 cars re- ceived daily and about the same number sent out. The numberisnow reduced to less than twenty-five each, Yesterday ohly twenty- three: cars were sent out, and the thre trains that came in had altogether only five cars, these being all way cars, A leading switchman was asked by a Ber repbrier last evening as to the number of switchmen who had struck and whether any of them had re- turned to their posts. He replied that there were twenty-five who had quit and not one of that number had weak- ened. Some four or five scabs had been hired, who were mainly farmer’s boys from fifteen to nineteen years of age. All were inexperienced. Only one switchman of any experience had been hired and that, he said, was George W. Ross, who in December had been discharged for beating his wife, and also was expelled from the Switchmen's Mutual Aid association for the same offense, The switchmen also stated that the report that the open which had caused the wreck South Omaha had been 8o fixed by the switch- men was untrue and that it was positively done by men outside of the ranks who were evil disposed toward them. Another one of the boys, upon being asked as to what the general feeling among the switchman was as to the real cause of the strike, replied that it was on account of the present incompetent set of engineers, whose blunders were at any time liable to prove fatal to the switchmen. All the switchmen at Plattsmouth, South Omaha and in the Bluffs are also out. The Strike at Chicago. Cnioaco, March 27.—One train load of stock came into the stock yards this morn- ing over the Burlington under a guard of twelve Pinkerton men. Policomen are pa- trolling about the tracks. There was little change apparent beyond the arrival of & number of switchmen from the east to take the places of the strikers. 1t is said that sixty men came in last night from the Reading rond and_that they have been distributed in the yards here and else- where. The company is endeavoring to haul such freight as requires immediate attention and is stil receiving freight for purely local points. The lumber district in this city is in bad condition and as it is a_busy scason lumber- men will lose considerable trade. No trouble was experienced in any part of the city to-day. A large number of specials as well as city police were guarding the yards, crossings, ete. The company to-day announced its inten- tion to postpone indefinitely the restoration of the rates ngreed to take effect April 1. The ostensible reason is that owing to the switchmen's strke following close upon that of the engineers and firemen, the company’s patrons have not had the opportunity to en- Joy the advantages of the cut rates given by other roads. The Illinois state railroad commssioners to-day were waited upon by a_committee of business men from Aurora with a complaint that the Burlington was employing.incompe- tent engineers. The commissioners agreed to hear witnesses at a special investigation to be held Tuesday next. The Switchmen State Their Oase. CuicaGo, March 27.—The striking switch- men issued a statement to-night in which they claim they had repeatedly warned Su- perintendent Bessler they could not continue to work with the incompetent engineers and firgmen now employed. No satisfaction could be had beyond a request for them to ‘“have patience,” and finally they quit work in the same way they had warned the su- perintendent—as - individuals. The switch- men of the the entire Burlington system were in the same condition as the Chicago men and acted in the same manner. The statement concludes: *Inasmuch as the en- gineers and firemeu, before their strik since, and now offered to submit the whol matter to u committee of three managers of any of the three first class roads running into Chicago, we cannot see the justice in asking men to sacrifice their limbs and lives upon the altar of any man’s petty pride or self- importance.” Lincoln Switchmen Strike. LixcoLy, Neb., March 27.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.}—The strike situation was added to to-day by a portion of the switch men going out in the Burlington yards. Those stepping out were not roplaced during the day and business in the yards was light and of an unsettled character. The pros- pects are that all switchmen will retire at this point and un effort is being made by _the company to secure new men. A letter from Creston, Ta., to the brotherhood here under date of the %th relates the exploits of the Pinkerton men in _that place. The letter states that the night before they stole a bar- rel of whisky out of the freight house and got drunk. They then practiced shooting at each other until six of them were arrcsted and lodzed in jail. A Red Cloud dispateh re- lates the long experfence of a scab in stop- ping along the road trying to get steam enough to haula few empty cars. It also states that the preachers were preaching ser- mons in favor of the men, Thirty switchmen, employed in the B. & M. yards, went out to-night. This includes the entire night force with the exception of one man. The day force will probably refuse to work to-morrow. e L THE BURLINGTON'S OBSTINACY, It Threatens to Again Precipitate a Rate War. Ciieaco, March 27.—The general mana- gers of the western roads met to-day to a cuss the conditions imposed by the Burling- ton & Northern in agreeing to advance rates, Many of the roads present opposed granting any such terms and an adjournment was had till to-morrow.

Benuix, March 27.—~The empress, replying to the addresses of associations of which she is patroness, says her foremost and most sucred duty will be the care of her suffering husband, At the same time she is reminded that she has other social duties. The moral and intellectual education of women, the sanitary condition of the laboring classes and the improvement of the facilities by which women may earn a livelihood, will constantly be before her. The noblest vocation of u princess, she says, is untiving activity in the work of ameliorating the suffering of the masses. —~— Elevation of a Powder Mill, Douss’ Ferky, N, Y., March 27.—An ex- plosion of powder occurred at Stickney's powder factory, near Ashford, shortly after 8o'clock this morning, wrecking the works and killing Mverll&mnl& The explosion was felt throughout Westchester county.

An Attempt to Blow Up the House of a Contractor, Dururs, Minn., March 27.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—A dastardly attempt to blow up the powder house of Contractor Fitz- patrick was discovered to-day. Had the at- tempt succeeded many lives must have been lost and many people injured. itzpatrick bas been used to explosions for twenty years and until the last few weeks in Duluth never had an accident. It will be remembered by many that in February a mysterious explo sion occurred at these works on Fourth street by which four people were killed and over thirty mjured. This was followed & few woeks later by the demolition of a pow- der house with condiderable dynamite by which three people were hurt and nearly two hundred houses suffered considerable dam- age, end since then small quantities of dynamite havo been missing from time to time. On Saturday & new powder house was stored and locked up, and the men left for the usual Sunday holiday. The severe storm of Monday stopped work until Tuesday afternoon, when the men re- sumed operations. The man who takes care of the powder and dynamite went to the building to get sufficient material for a blast, and on reaching the place saw a number of foot marks in the snow about the door, and the hinges wore wrenched off. This made him extremely careful, and the door was ro- moved. Upon entering the floor of the building was found to be thickly strewn with broken pioces of dynamite, and several ‘boxes of cartridges and powder were broken open. A stove used in the building for thawing and drying -the stuff was found to have dynamite in the ashes, and the stove p:‘pe had been taken apart and sticks of dynamite arranged in such a manner that a slight poking of the fire would have caused an explosion. Iyerythmg pointed to a fear- fully diabolical plot to destroy the house and imperil the lives of the seventy workmen and the people living in the vicinity. The building has been carefully searched and all danger removed, and the place will bo watched day and night after this. Suspi- cion already is dir to some discharged ‘workmen and if they are found to be the c\l}{)rlu they will undoubtedly receive swift and summary vengeance, asthe people are considerably excited over the discovery. FIFTIETH CONGRESS. Senave. WasniNgToN, March 27.—In the senato to- day Mr. Blair called up the question of the second reading of the bill introduced by him to give preference to disabled confederatd soldiers as between men who have been dis- loyal in appointments to the civil oftice. Mr. Edmunds opposed the second reading of the bill vigorousiy and without disposing of the question th. senate took up again the house bili to_provide for the purchase of United States bonds, the pending question bein, the amendment offered by Mr. Short author- ing the deposit of gold or_ silver bullion and the issuance of coin certificates therefor. Mr. Teller said it was not because of over- production that there was such a wide diver- gonco between, silver and gold, but it was cause of the demonetization of silver. On motion of Mr. Sherman a committee of five senators to attend the funeral of the late chief justico at Toledo was ordered, and Sen- ators Sherman, Allison, Evarts, George and Gray were appointed. The Bond bill went over on a motion by Mr. Palmer to recommit it. Adjourned. House.

After afew remarks by Mr. Outhwait, of Ohio, the bill went over. A number of measures were reported from committeees, among them the bill to: provide for ascertaining the propriety and feasibility of constructing a gulf and lake waterway, also for the election of senators by the legal voters of a state. The military academy appropriation bill passed and the general public land bill was calledup. An amenament by Mr. Smith of ‘Wisconsin, providing that all deposits of coal and iron shall be reserved to the United States and no further grant or patents held to include such deposits was left pending. Mr. Felton, of California, moved to amend by permitting a person who has declared his intention to Dbecome a citizen to enter upon lands. Nelson, of Minnesota, opposed the motion. He was out of patience with the sentimenzation which had grown up since the anarchists bad made their little raid in Chicago. The policemen who had been shot down and the sheriff who hanged men had also been foreigners. He was tired of the maudlin sentimentality which would revolutionize everything because a few crazy lunatics took the course they did. Chicago had had something worse than those lunatics. It had had Carter Harrison, who had mused them and made them believe they could do anything except be respectful to the American flag. The motion was lost. Mr. Payson, of Illinois, offered an amend- ment providing that no patent to mineral lands shall issue, except to a citizen of the United States, Pending action house adjourned, National Capital Notes, ‘WasniNaroN, March 27.—The house com- mittee on Pacific railroads this morning listened to the conclusion of the argument of Counsellor Tweed, of the Central Pacific railroad company on the Huntington bill providing for the refunding of the Southern Pacific debt.

To the Editor of the Bee: The charges against myself, as published in Tuesday's BEE, concerning my sale of two lots to Mrs. Ambrose, are false in every particular, and calculated to place me in a false light before the public, W. S. Book was not at that time engaged in business with me. The lots were not sold for $2,800, but for less than onc-half that amount: and, instead of paying $1,300 cash, she paid less than one-half that amount, and 'the lots to-day are worth at least $1,400, instead _of only $500, as alleged in her peti- tion. The lots 7and 8, in block 11, Jetter’s addition, were sold and represented to her exactly as they were shown to me and as they appear on the maps and plats of South Omaha and Jetter's addition. DAvVID ANDERSON. The Brandt Concert Off. The lovers of music who had expected to hear the peerless Fraulem Marianne Brandt to-night at the opening of Max Meyer's new hall, will be sadly disappointed to know that the concert has been: postponed indefinitely on acco unt of the singer having contracted a severe cold that has settled in her throat. Yesterday she could not speak above a whis- per, and it was with the greatest reluctance both on her part and that of the managers that this musical festival was cancelled.

S Picking Up Tigers by the Neck. From Three Years of a Wanderer Life: Ionce saw three young tigers, larger than Newfoundland dogs, loose on the deck of a British India steamer crowded with several hundred Mecca pilgrims. The cage in which they wero confined was large and barred on each side, with a partition running along its middle, which had a drop door. The man who had charge of the animals would drive them over to one side of the cage, close out the partition, and clean out the other side at his leisure; then barring up the clean side,he would open the partition and drive the tigers back, whilé he went through the same performance on the other side. One morning he neglected to put u the bars on the side he had finished, and so drove the tigers out of the opposite side of the open ecnge. The animals on obtaining their liberty took different directions, and crouching in the nearest corners,lay snarling and exposing their teeth, showing unmis takable signs of a most dangerous _fear, That side of the deck was desarted, and the erowd gazed in interestat a respect- ful distance. Mr. Fleuse, the third officer, the second officer and the keeper cach placed himself before 2 tiger, bar- ring their exit should they ‘ntem};t to move away. Fleuse inquired if the tigers had been fed that day. They had not; they had always been fed on living fowls. Fleuse called for three chickens from the hen coop. Taking these he threw one in the face of each tiger., The chickens seemed simply motionless, glued to the spot, so instati- taneous was the fixing of teeth and claws. Fleuse then went deliberately up to atiger, coolly took the loose skin of the back of the neck with one hand and the root of the tail with the other, and putting eut his full strength, dragged the heavy brute along the dock to the cage, and forced it through the open bars. The chick.n diversion acted perfectly, The brute had no ob- ject but that of retaining its prey. I growled fearfully; its eyes blaz teeth crashed through the chic unsheathed claws clasped and pierced its quivering body. Red-hot 1rons would hardly have made it loosen its gaip of the bird. Then the keeper and jhe others helped Fleuse in carrying the remaining tigers into the cugs BALY'S SKIN AND SCALP Cleansed, Purified and Beautifled by Cnti- cura Remedies.
