NEGLIGENCE AT THE ALMA WRECK. Colonel A. P. Martin, a former traveling man, at present in the real estate business in this city, came through Alma shortly after the recent wreck there, and says that the in- jured were shamefully neglected by the com- gnny. He states that Charles Eaton, the raveling man from this city, was not decently garegd for from tHE time of the wreck Friday morning until the arrival of his wife the day following, and that the blood was not cleaned from his face in the interval. Eaton is ina very critical condition with a broken leg, a Droken collar boue and one side of his face laid open to the jaw bone, with other cuts @nd bruises on his head. It is evidently a case demanding the most rlfld Investigation.

Tipton was pass- ing up Broadway his attenti>n was attracted 10 605 of Crockwell’s display windows, and what was his surprise at beholding his own face, as natural as life itself, standing before him. It is a crayon, and is the first work completed by Mrs, Tipton. In the hands of Mrs. MoNsughton, the pupil has proved a most apt one, for the picture would do credit to older and more pretentious artists. Mrs. McNaughton has the true artist instincts and succeeds well in conveying these to her pupils. This face, in pose, model and general finish is superb, in which fact the subject, ar- tist and teacher are to be congratulated. - Inden-Booth. A happy event occurred last evening in the union for life of Miss Pauline Booth and Mr. W. . Inden. The ceremony was a double one. At 7:30 the couple were united by the Rev. T. J. Mackay, of the Hpiscopal church, at the home of the bride's parents, and at 8:30 the union was solemnized by the Rev. Father Adolph Wesselling, at the German Catholic church. The relatives and intimate friends alone witnessed the ceremonies, An elaborate wedding supper was spread at the home to which ample justice was done by the invited guests, Many presents were glven as mementoes of the esteem in which the young couple are held R Still They Can't Agree. The school board met again last evening with all members present. A vote was taken on the question of adopting any of the plans presented, resulting in a tie vote. On motion it was decided to reject all plans sub- mitted and try another course. A letter from Mr. Foster, of Des Moines, was then read, asking permission to exhibit plans to the board. Some of the members were opposed to granting the desired permission, but it was finally carried and Mr. Foster will be granted an audience next Friday evening. —_——e Walked Into a Trap.

Yesterday five companies of the Second infantry stationed at Fort Omaha, went to the range at Bellevue to practico for six weelds at target shooting, by way of propar- ation for the annual department rifle contest which is to take place next August. The men were under the command of Major Butler, Licutenant Arrs, acting as adjutant. The several companies were commanded by Cap- tains Catlin, Haines, Ulio, Daggett and Mo- Keever, Last year this wing beat the right wing, the latter clauming that the left had better weather for shooting, because their work was done later in the season. The season oceupied by the left lnst year is given this year to the right and will begin six weeks hence, when the left wing will have finished their practice. GENEHAL JOIY I, DROO Genoral Breck yesterday received a telegram from General Brooke, who succeods General Crook as commander of this depart ment. The dispatch stated that the latt would to-day leave Fort Shaw, Mont., where he is in command, and take up his journcy to this city, arriving here probably on Friday or Saturday, on w latter day General Crook will leave for Chicago, General Brooke has not been apprised of tho banquet tendered General Crook by the citizens on next Friday night, and it is thought that it would be a dictate of courtesy to inform him of the fact and invite him to be present, whieh he ce tainly would be pleased to do,'in view of the fact that it would afford him 'an_auspicious obportunityof meeting many of tho friends of his retiring superior, The distance from Fort Shaw to Omaha by the most direct route is 1,512 miles, a distance which could casily be traveled before Eriday noxt, os. lly if the general should be invited by raph to be in attendance at the board.

Exposition Hall Crowded to tho Utmost Last Night. FULLY 2,600 PEOPLE PRESENT, He Scores the 0. B. & Q. Stockholders and Urges Organization—A Tell« ing Speech Faull of Facts and Humor—The Parade. A Big Labor Demorstration. The labor demonstration announced two wooks ago took place last night, twelve or- ganizations taking part in the march and about 2,000 men being in line, The music was furnished by the A. O. H. and People's theatro bands. M. T. Black of the carpen- ters' union acted as marshal. Mayor Broatch and P. J. McGuire, the president of the cen- tral Jabor union, and also secretary of the carventers’ assoclation, rode in one of the hacks, The procession was witnessed by hundreds of people and greatly admired, nearly all the associations carrying beautiful and symbolic banners. The procession, after parading shrough a number of streets, dis- banded at Exposition hall at 8:30. At 8:30 the doors of the exposition building were thrown open and the vast crowd that had been walting outside surged in. The hall was filled in less than twenty minutes, standing room being at a premium. The platform was tastefully decorated with flags and banners and was occupied by thespeaker, Mayor Broatch, the presidents of tne various trades unions, and the representatives of the press, Assoon as quiet prevailed Mayor Broatch, in a fow appropriate remarks, intro- duced the speaker. Mr. McGuire is a man !nut the meridian of life, but is a forcible, ogical talker, with enough humor to make his efforts amusing as well as instructive. His remarks were in substance as follows ‘It gives me great pleasure to witness such & demonstration as the one just ended, for it convinces me that the organized laboring ele- ment of Omaha is not riotous, disorderly or Inw-brealing, but represent.the cream of the bone and sinew of the city, I wish before proceeding further to state that this demonstration is not one organized b the bricklayers' union, as stated by some, ut is one gotten up by the carpenters, I see by this gathering that there 1s energy in the west, and that this great and growing section is alive to the im- portance of labor receiving a just recompense or its services. The planks of the platform upon which labor stands should be solid, and a8 the principal one is union, Isee by this gnificent display that you are not noglect- ing the mainstay. I feel to-night what every American laborer should feel—that we should use every means in our power to better our condition, make our homes happy, and be- come not only a credit to ourselves but to our country. How are we to do this! We know that labor is the foundation of civilization and the corner stono of society. Thé power that labor has and the privilegesit should en- joy we are all acquainted with. Labor will olear the forests of timber and erect homes; will build railroads, telegraph lines, will dive into the recesses of the earth and by uniting the forces of steam and electricity accumu- that wealth which is made by many and en- joyed by few. Labor has not had just recog- nition at the hands of capital, nor has its pace kept up with wealth. It is for this reason that we assert our right to a fair dsy's pay for a fair day's work, and insist that with machinery to assist us the hours of toil should be reduced. We do not oppose machiery, but welcome everything that will lighten our burdens, but insist that we re- ceive an equal proportion of the benefits. In 1878 the amount of wealth produced was gver $7,000,000.000, and of that amount labor, which represents seven-tenths of our paptila: tion, ot $1,500,000, the remiainder golfg to the three-tenths who represent wealth. Men fix the price of cveryrfiommoduy in advance for the next year. e farmer sends five bushels of corn to market and gots pay for three. The producer and consumer ar8.sep- arated. Working men on railroads who t; ?e their lines in thoir hands, engineers, firemén, brakemen and switchmen, ate ground doiwn to the lowest possible notch by sfockholdérs who go to church on Sunday and boW thely heads in prayor and cut wages on Monday, Lam in sympathy with the men on tho Chi- 6NSC are holders had any s they need have had no strike, but they are like the Irishman at Donnybrook fair. ey think wfion labor's head is raised “thué must hit it.” They do not want t0 arbitrate, but think they can keep men at cheap rates gud can buy them as cheaply as they can congressmen gr members of 1dgislatures. They call in by the power of many a band of Hessians, armed to the tedth, an organized band of rowdies and murderers —Pinkerton pups, who are asa nuf too lazy to work or too fond of a row to keep still. We want laws passed prohibiting this dction, The great couflict between labor and capital is not as flerce a strife as between educated and uneducated labor. When men are defeated in a strike it is nearly always done by men who betray their fellows for a few paltry dollars, Here the speaker compared the gon- dition of the labormg man to slav- ery in the south and aftér relating several matters in conuoetion, concltided by stuting that this auestion would be settled without 1oss of Blood or property. That the laboring man was the warrier between an- archy and capitol and would protect the former from the latter but at the same time asked a just recognition of his merits. Mr. McQGuire then resumed the history of strikes and the eight hour law and urged the trade unions to stand by the bricklayersin th struggle for right. The “Republican” Sold. The interests of 8. P.

A correspondent, who gives her name and address ane declares her statement to be true in every particular, sends the Liverpool Courier the following nar- rative of her criminal of her eriminal experience: am the daughter of a poor nason, who, 1 am soiry to say, used sometimes to get drunk, then return home and abuse his wife and children. For some time the former bore with moekness the rough treatment of her spouse. but ultimate she, 100, sought todrown her cares in liquor. With }mreuu who both quaffed the intoxicat- ng cdp, is 1t any wonder her children (three girls and'a boy) went to ruin. Tho son went from one degree of uniq- vity to auother till ultimately Le ended his deys on the gallows for the murder of his sister. Of the two wo- men then igft, one of them was trans- ported for life for burglary, oft-repeat- ed; and the other (i e., mysel]) fast fol- lowed in lier footsteps, but succeeded in s oscaping with a few months’ imprison- ment for each offense, until the last of my parenfs wae laid in tife grave. About s week after I wept one maght and stealthily opened the dvawing-room window of a widow lady, the witd of an earf. I entered the room and stole money, together with many valuables, to the amount of about £100. As I lived near to this residenge and my character being well knownthe lady, on discover- ing l‘\lnr loss, at ofhce hastoned to my poor abode, and wae not long in finding part of the money~—for 1 had willfully nt about £20—and mostof the jewels. She at once brought mo by forde to her home, made me follow her upstairs to an attie with only a chair and wooden bed for furniture, then sho gpoke to me serious and kindly about this and other misdemeanors, and told me she would uot give me into custody, but I was to remain in that room for two months, be fed on bread and water, and she would come three timesa day, at morning, noon and night and ad- ministor the birch with her own hands. At first I felt inclined to_ rebel, but after all T thought anything better than aol. The next morning after break- 'ast, which was given to be at 6 o’clock, 1 was brought into an adjoining apart- ment; where I was striped of all my clothing by the lady and oune of her servants. Then I was stretched on a cushion as soft as down, after which my hands and feet were securely fastened by means of leather straps, so that I was utterly unable to repel the strokes of the rod, which fell swift and smart. At fivst, although J was whipped till T eried (for my lady would never cease the chastisement till the tears came to my eyes in cm'nest}.whon T was released T atonce declared I would leave and go to rl'iuon, when the lady said she was quite willing I should do so if I preferred it, but I dreaded gaol too much from my former experience, so decided to con- tinue as was; but after the punish- ment I began to give a mock laugh and thank my lady ironically, but whenever T did so 1 was always again refastened and repunished, which was repeated once as often as three times Another time I resisted and would by no means allow myself to be so treated, when two more female servants were called up and I had tosubmit. The servant who helved always went away before the puniuhment, ~Ultimately I used to undress and lie in position myself, ad the lady after that came alone, though the whipping was as severe as ever, When the two months were oxplred T was roleased, with much prayer and good advice, and I never after stole anything to the value of a pin, aud I am now the wife of a respect- able mechanic, and bless God for the oxperience of those two months. I was at the time 23 years of age. 1 relate this circumstafice, as I believe if the t‘eat” is beneficial in preventing men from committing astrocious brimes, that castigatiob mightalso be performed with good results on the female prisoners by some of the female warders. —_——————— A.

New Orleans Picayune: The massive ruins of the ancient citics of the Central American regions will ever be sulfj of interest to the student of American au?qulties.

Thess testimonials have not been taken from mythical persons, but from woll-knoywn citizens of the city, citizens who are known far and wide, and who give their testimony volun- tarily, Most of theso patients were people who had been treated before by different physicians who did 1ot bevefit them in tho least and had tried patent medicines to no end all in vain, and as & last resort hud come to this physictan, where they obtained notonly a relief, but a radi: cal and permanentcure, The physician referred te is Dr. J.
