Omaha Meets the Great Novelist's Son in Theater and Club. Charles Dickens appeared last evening at the Grand opera house before a large and cultivated audience. He read a number of chapters from “David Copperfield.” and tho famous trial of “Bardell vs. Pickwick.” Mr. Dickens is not an elocutionist in the sense of the term as it is understood in the present day. In many instances the modern clocutionist is a machine, His greatest power lies in his voice, He may thrill you with a whisper, or frighten you in a roar. Mr. Dickens is not such a reader, There is nothing metallic in his voice. It is soft, and lacks resonance, sut it is dominated an intelligence which, like the soul, a homely faco. He secms hortcomings, and his pru denoo prevents 1 1 tions beyond his poy AS & consequence there arc none of his sketches, it matte how_little soever they fail to realize one's ideal, which do not readily appeal to the warmest kind of appreciation. In ‘‘Copper- fleld” he was almost irresistible, and his pic ture of the shipwreck which made poor Ham a victim to the battling waves and laid the scoundrel Steerforth dead, like the ark upon the sands, was life-like and forcible, despite the vocal peculiarities to which reference is above made. In the trial scene Mr. Dicke displayed wonderful versatility, and all the v nown characters were succ ively received with langhter and applause, There is an ineffable charm about Mr. Dickens both as a gentleman and a reador, and the longger he appears ih one’s presence, the more he is appreciated. At the conclusion of the entertainment ho was tendered a reception by the Omaba Press club in their rooms in the Continental Dlock, and two hours of most social intimacy and interchange of thought were experi- enced. e — BENCH AND BAR. District Court. SUITS FILED, John H. Bechel yesterday filed a suit against the Fremont, Elihorn & Missourt Valley railroad in which he claims §2,000 dumaigos by reason of defendants forcibly en- tering his premises and laying track upon Which trains are now being run without any condemnation proceedings. NAUGHTY MAN ORAYIAM. Hattie Grayham applied to the court yos- terday to be divorced from her husband, Charios W. Grayham, to whom she was mar- ried in Scott county, state of Iowa, Septem- ber 14, 1875, _She alleges that she hias been a true and obedient wife to Charles, but de- spite this she says ho has been unfaithful. Added to this he hias been cruel, and hurled profane and abusive epithets at her. WANTS POSSESSION AND DAMAGES. William G. Chambers in his action filed yesterday against William J. Connell, alloges that he is logally entitled to the possession of lot 1, block 101, in the city of Omaha, but that the defendant has, since the 10th day of May, 1584, unlawfully kept and_still keeps it from him. Chambers alloges that since the time specified, Connell has collected rents from said property in the sum of 5000, and he prays for a judgment in that amount and \[ possession of the premises. JOIN SVAXCIA IN TROUBLE, A transcript sent in yesterday by Justice of the Peace Read states that John Svancia has been held in bail in the sum of 81,000 to appear for trial before the_district_court on the charge of perjury made by Charles S. Higgins. It is alleged that Jobn gave false testimony oin @ law suit in which Higgins was the defendant. PLEADING FOR PREEDOM. The unusual scene of a lawyer vleading be- fore a judge and a jury of twelve of his own fellow men to be released from the stigma of being an embezzler, full particulars of which has_appeared in the Brk, was presented by David E. Van Etten in tho district court yes- terday afternoon. He pleaded long and fer- vently in his own defense, and_shortly after 5 o'clock the charge to tho jury was read by Judge Hopewell and they retired for deliber- ation. They were still deliberating when court adjourned. County Court. A JUDGMENT RENDERED. Judge Shields yesterday rendered a de- cision in favor of the plaintiffs in the case of Paul Platz vs Myer Hellman, for §220.82. This was a suit brought for payment for moving a house. LED AT LAST. The Rothacker-Rounds difticulty was yes- terday decided by Judge Shields, Mrs. Rounds withdrawing the charges made by her ugainst Rothacker some weeks ago, and the latter petitioning the court to appoint Mrs, Rounds guardian ‘of his children. X WILL PROBATED. The will of Mrs. Elizabeth M. Denuis, de- ceased, was probated yesterday, with George L. Dennis as exccutor. CHAPTER TWO. Lon George's Divorced Wife Tells Her Story. There are two sides to every story and the case of Lon George as described in yesterday Bek is no exception to the rule. Yester- day Miss Jessie Taylor, the divorced wife of George, called av the Bee office and gave her version of the affair. Miss Taylor says that four years ago she was married to Lon George in Council Bluffs, the ceremony being performed by Mayor Vaughn. She says that since her marriage to George she has not been in Council Bluffs, and that at no time has any move been mude on the part, of either herself or George to again take up life together, Miss Taylor says thatitis true that George 18 now at the home of her mother, 606 North Fifteenth street, and the reason for his being the: is because he had no other place to go to recover his lost health, His wants are attended to by her mother and she is not connected in any anner with his present oxistence. Miss vlor says her little boy, of whom Lon George is the father, is cared for by her wother and George has paid the expenses of his keeping. That further than this there is no mutual interest betwoen the two. Miss Taylor states that the allegations of weeping wife” in regard to the mann h her ruin was secomplished are edly transparent. That instead of ( following his present wife she hounded him and persuaded him to marry her, Miss Tay- lor states that at one time the present Mrs, Ton George was a “‘beer-jerker” at Jack Nugent’s and will be : remembered by many of the frequenters of that resort as ‘‘Sade” MclIntyre, She further says thatthe pres- ent Mrs. Lon George is the Alice Clark who a few weeks ago was taken to the station for hurling a rock through one of Higgins' win- dows. If Miss vior is to be believed the present Mrs, Lon rge is an opium eater, an habitual drunkard and s far from being like Civser's wife, According to her version the idea of Mrs. Lon George being ‘‘ruined”’ at any date in very modern times is a hugh joke, To use the expression of Miss Taylor, Uithe present Mrs, Lon George is an old timer whose virtue departed with her teens, and long before she met her present hus: band.” "~ Viewed from either side tho entire tale is one of such nastiness and domestic unhappiness that it is to be sincerely re- gretted that the name of wife or mother must be dragged through its slums. e Carpenters Will Strike.

STRIKERS GROW DESPERATE. A Night of Terror in the Yards at Kansas City. HANNIBAL SWITCHMEN GO OUT. Monnmental Competency of Artiatic Railway Scabs—A Pinkerton Badly Pummeled — Strikers Arrested on Serious Charge®, They Hate the Scabs. Kaxsas Crry, Mo, April 17.—[Special Telegram to the Brr.)—Last night was one of terror in the Hannibal switch yavds, in which work for the Burlington is done, The “'Q" strikers say it was not the acts of their own men, but the sympathizers who are growmg more desporate than the me During last night trains were, wrecked, switches misplaced, engines fired into and a car of hay burned. These accidents hap- pened to the proporty only of the Burlington. By the misplacing of switches two ' trains orailed. As the Hannibal freight, No. rossed into the deep cut near the bridge, it was fired into by four men who were seon to run from it. Twonty feet further a large boulder ecrashed through the cab window, The officors on board replied with shots and a short fusilade was kept up by the marauders and officers, About 7:80 o'clock last night an_unknown man threw a switch just as the B, & M. train was backing out of the yurds. The train was thrown off the track and the passage of the Fort Scott and Santa Fe trains obstructed for some time. The engincer of tho train saw the man draw the switch lever, but it was too late to stop, John Anderson, a Swede, was arrested by Railroad Policeman Junkins on the charge of attempting to wreck a train in the yards of the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs road. Anderson is only eighteen years of age and has been employed cleaning couches in the Council Bluffs yards in this city for the past two years. Ho does nov conceal his acts, and says that he is not a striker, but he desired {o assist those who struck. Scveral employes saw him misplaco the switch as well as throw an_iron coupliug-pin intofa cab of a passing engine. Thirty-eight switchmen employed in the Hannibal & St. Joe yards here quit work to- night, the alleged cause being the refusal of the company to remstate a switchman dis- charged for assaulting the night yardmaster. A meeting of the switchmen was held late to-night and it was resolved under no cir- cumstances to return to work. Business in the yards is completely suspended. A Scab's Struggle, AURORA, 1L, April 17.—Mr. Perry, one of the new Burlington engineers, was set upon by a crowd of roughs last night. He drow his revolver and fired, seriously wounding Chris Hester, one of the strikers. Perry was arrested. Assaulted the Scabs. St. Joskri, Mo., April 17.—Two new Bur- lington men wero assaulted here last night by a rough and badly beaten, One may die. Sond i MONUMENTAL COMPETENCY. Ruin Stalks Abroad on the Burlington Line. WymoRre, Neb., April 17.—[Special to the Ber.]—The past three days have been crowded full of accidents and wrecks on the B. & M. system. Friday night six break- downs, accidents and collisions occurred, and on Friday two collisions on the Kansas City road, while Saturday night a collision oc- curred at Beatrice between engine 4, switch- ing in the yard, and the Edgar freight, that completely demolished engine 4 and did other damage to the rolling stock. Sunday morning at about 4 o’clocka collision occurred at Kesterson, just west of Endicott, between train 77, going west, and train 40, the cannon ball, coming east at the rate of thirty-five milos an hour, that absolutely demolished both engines, one having completely mounted on top of the other, and obstructed the track 80 that the trains Sunday were run via Ed- gar and Chester to get them by the wreck. No one was killed outright, but anumber are more or less seriously hurt. An accident near Falls City disabled an engine so that she had to be towed in for re- pairs. Eleven disabled engines are now re- ported here, and when the last duy’s disas- ters are brought in a *‘locomotive bonegard’ will have to be established. This is the work of the ‘“scabs,” about which the Lincoln Journal is so loudly prat- ing just now. The damago done by incom- petency since the strike began is enormous and surpasses anything in the previous his- tory of railroading inour state. . The striking engineers and firemen have just been paid for the month of March. They are firm and courageous, add deter- :]nin;fll to win this fight if it takes a year to 0 it. The B. & M. railroad candidates are begi ning to bob up here and there for the legisla- ture. “Our own and only’” General L. W. Colby 18 '.hulr"llrofolred candidate for the state senate.

Officer Raworth Makes Loud Threats and s Seriously Assaulted. George Raworth, arecent graduate from the police force who has joined the ranks of the Pinkerton importations, got nto trouble with a couple of striking engineers last cven- ing and was badly used up. Raworth is said to do his drinking, while on duty, at Dick Burdish’s saloon, on the corner of Tenth and Davenport streets. A number of ex-engin- ecrs and ex-switchmen also make this their rendezvous, and it is said that Raworth has, on a number of occasions, in a Fallstafilan manner, told them what he would do with them if they attempted to_interfere with the *'scabs.” Last evening he grew v inso- lent and blatant, and Pat Ford, who was near by, told him he must not provoke the boys to_a fight and led him away across the street. But a few minutes later he re- turned in time to see a fellow named Malloney point to a passing train and say: “There goes six d—n scal Kaworth stepping up sald: “You black- quard, I want you to leave those ‘scabs’ alone, Iam here to protect them.' “This brought on some hard words between the ofiicer and the engineers, and_Raworth, drawing his revolver from his pocket, said: HIf you —— — — monkey about me Il kill one of you." The words were hardly out of his mouth vefore Malloney, springing forward, wrench- od the revolver from Raworth’s hand. He then beat the Pinkerton proselyte over the head with the butt end of the weapon, in- flicting an uncanny gash over his loft' eye and a couple on the side of the head. While thus pounding the officer the revolver was _expl Malloney, _ thinking that Raw to his heels and has not_been seeu since. Raworth was taken to his home and his wounds dressed. No trace of the bullet was discovered und it is thought it did not strike him, and They Called Him “Scabby."” Edward Goody and C. Moore, a couple of B. & M. ex-switchmen, were arrested yester- day on the charge of assault with intent to kill. The cowplainant is J, W. Fox, a union switchman who has joined the scabs. Goody and Moore were first astonished and then ‘amused at the charge agwinst them. ’Uw_v say they cannot account for anything they have said that could be distorted into even a threat. l‘nuy admit they have hailed him as ‘‘scabby’’ a number of times, and on one occasion they remarked to him that if the scab engineers should blunderingly run over him it would be no loss to the commu- nity. Fox got very angry at this, and the boys suppose that his charges must be based ou this, Heavy Mortgage Filed.

From Mr. James B. Horton, a stockman from Bloomington, Neb., a B reporter learned of the actions of a man who gave his name as Charlie Curtis, and who claimed to be a cattle buyer for the Swift Packing com- pany at South Omaha, On Tuesday last Curtis, who is a young man perhaps twenty-five years of age, alighted at the station at Bloomington and at once began making inquirics for partics hav- ing cattle for sale. He was directed to sov- eral, among the number being Mr. Horton. Curtis visited several parties huving cattle for sale, all of whom were offercd very lib- oval prices for their stock, which was to be delivered on Thursday at the station, Curtis stating that the B. & M. had agreed to furnish him all the cars required, o stated that all cattle would be weighed at the depot and the money paid over as he was not purticular whether the cattle were in first class condition or not, the owners were in high glee at tho prospectof fingering such large quantities of ducats and early on Thursday mornmg the hired men rounded up the stock and drove them to the railroad, According to all accounts the cars required to load the stock would, if put in one train, have reached half way to Beatrice. Steers, bulls, cows, heifers, oxen and calves all mingled togethor in' o neighborly fashion. When several hundred head had been col- lected it was discovered that no cars were there, then it was learned that none had been ordered. It was also found that Curtis was not present and their lamentations and_pro- fanity filled the atmosphere. After working until nightfall the stock was driven home and now the cattlemen in that vicinity take turns in parading the station platform with a shot gun hoping that chance may send Curtis in that direction, but as yet their wishes have not been gratifie Two great enemies—Hood’s Sarsap: rilla and impure blood.

Stovx Crry, Ta., April 17.—[Special Tele- gram to the Brr.|—A scheme for evading the Towa prohibitory liquor law took form to-day in the flling of articles of incorpora- tion for the so-called Sioux City and Coving- ton (Nebraska) Transportation company.

WarerLoo, Ia., April 17.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—The morning session of the thirteenth day of the Billings trial was largely spent in the introduction of evidence of threats made by the deceased against the defendant, Some of the threats were not threats at all, but only expressions of dislike for a man who had attempted blackmail on him, and whom he had been able to foil. If the testimony introduced is to be believed, however, Kingsley was more coufidential with the dregs of creation who have already sworn to Kingsley’s threat that he wonld settle Billings with something like a 8$2- calibre and other kindred expressions. A notable exception to this class of witnesses, however, is Mr, Husted, an attorney of Wa- terloo,to whom Kingsley stated that he would send Billings to the pen, or to hell. A lurge number of witnesses were intro- duced this afternoon to show that Billings' deposition was not cruel ‘or vindictive, or malignant, or merderous.
