Masox City, Ta., August 4.—(Special ‘Telo- gram to Tie Bre,|—The now famous Brown case, which has attracted 8o much notoriety, was brought to a culmination to-day by th arrest of Mrs. H. . Brown, charged with mingling poison in the food with intent to kill her husband, Hiram E. Brown. The com 1 plaint was in the form so as to make the hus- band’s testimony admissable. Although Mr. b Brown has furnished the necessary money to i employ a detective in working up the case, 4 when it came to making the complaint he weakened and declared that he had rather die. His brother, Walter K., who has been prominent in his endeavors to solve th mysterious affair, filed the necessary in- 3 formation and upon that a warrant for her E arrest was issued - Mrs. H. Brown was found at the sdence of her uncle, Judge George ermilly a respected and promi- nent citizen of this city. ~ She manifested no surprise whatever, having for several days understood that a warrant was soon to be issued for her arrest. She was brought before Judge A. H. Cummings, and on consent of the parties the case was con- tinued to next Thursday. FHer bonds were placed at £3,000, which she readily secured. At the time of the coroner’s inquest, con siderable comment was occasioned by the persistent_effort of Mrs. Brown to fasten the guilt of ihe crimo upon her husband. A short time after the investigation was com- pleted, she went to Barrington, IlL, for tae purpose of visiting her parents. Whila there she reccived some _confidential communications from a friend here, through which _ she learned that the casc was being investigated by detectives, and that she had best be careful. She was evidently alarmes disclosures, and immediately made prepara- tions to leave. She left suddenly that nicht, telling her friends that she was going to Mason City. Her baggage and he showed that her destination was I worthy, Ta. That fact was inmediately raphed and an “operator” started to shadow Bor. Sho arrived thero in thonight and want to the house of herold friend, Miss Bessie Miller. Her movements were closely watched, all her sayings and doings carefully noted. and her letters intercepted, all of which co tained very damaging testimony against her. In a letter written to her old friend, Mi: Bessie Lake, about the time of the coroner's inquest, she says that she meant to put it on to &‘lirum and end the miserable life she was . Some of the damaging letters wero Mr. Brown last evening, and he ~identified them as being those of his wife, but said he could not account for much of the contents, While Mrs. Brown was at Monticello she ‘was confronted by the detectives with the evidence against her and was charged with the murder of her son Jesse and her father- w in-law, Hiram L. Brown, and the attempted murder of her husband and son Henry, and after she had been told that all her move- ments were known she broke down, saying : “There were no eyewitnesses, and you can't prove it.” The officers claim to be Pos- session of evidence of Mrs. Brown’s pur- chasing diluted prussic acid and Rough on Ruts in the past year without the knowledge or consent of her husband, and further that she was skilled in the uses and abuses of all the principal poisons. The persistent_efforts of Mrs. Brown in her evidence before the coroner's jury to fasten suspicion on her husband and inducing Poterson to assist her is a strong point e against her in the case. Added to this are X the facts of her hatred for the family and the A * unhappy relations existing between them, and her utter indifference at the sickness and death of her child and her father-in-law, during the entire time never having been seen to shed a tear or heard to express a re- gret. —— Solid for Harsh. 4 CrestoN, Ia., August 4.—[Special Tele- P gram to Tur Bee.|—Five wards of Creston have elected instructed delegates for J.

There are soven ys entitled *Pools Filled with Water,” “‘Glimpses Into Frensh Literature,” *‘Genius and Religion,” *‘Genius and Morality,” “History in Literature,” kepticism of the Heart,” “The Decline in Art.” It is a very remarkable book written by a new writer of great power. It makes enjoyuble reading by its clearly defined ideas, the originality revealed in the unexpected relationship = of certain ideas; the daring yet dogmatic expres- sion of opinion, the vivid impression produced by an extraordinary command of the English language and above all the authors’ inexhaustible enthusiasm and delight in study. It will afford a mental stimulus of lasting power and value, and is a noble vindication of the claims of philosophy in a liberal educa- tion. T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadel- phia, have just published an ontire new and cheap edition of **Nana,” by Emile Zola, to sell at the low price of twenty- five cents a copy, retail, making 1t one of the largest and cheapest books for the price ever published. They also publish a new and complete_edition of all the works written by Emile Zola, in twenty-one volumes, in paper cover and alsq in cloth. Messrs. Frederick A. Stokes & Bro- ther announce “The Life of Grover Cleveland,” by William O. Stodda the author of the other volumes in thei series of “Lives of the Presidents of the United States.” Mr. Stoddard has given the greatest poseible care and labor to this work, and 1n_view of this fact, as well as its timeliness, the publishers expect that it will receive much atten- tion, and meet with a very large sale. It wili be well illustrated, and is to be published in a variety of editions. No.50f the Manhattan series lished by A. L.

In this connection we will say that Mr. Burt’s plan to produce the works of American authors exclusively doserves the cordial support of encour- agement of Aw an readers. The latest addition to campaign liter- ature is the " Log Cabin Song Book” of 1840 revised for the campuign of 1888, All the appropriate songs are reprinted from the famous campaign book of 1840, revised for 1888, und published by the ‘suct]‘t‘saOI' of the publisher of the original hook. —_—— Red Hair Hated Long Ago. How are we to account for the popular prejudice against red hair? 1s it con- nected with the tradition that Judas Iscariot was red-haired, or is it of earhier origin? So strong was the sen- timent against it in the middle ages that one of the chroniclers denounces it as “a burning brand of infidelity.” It may very well be that the hatred with hich William Rufus was regarded awed an extra dash of intensity to tho olor of his tawny locks. Not a fow mous personages, however, have heen ndowed by ure with hair of this atal hue f\\’hit‘h their flatterers, no doubt, persisted in deseribing as au- burn), for instance, Anne Boleyn (M Froude speaks of **her fuir hair flowing loose o beth or her shoulders”); Queen Eliza- r Richard Baker describes hers nelining to pale yellow;” Fuller uses the convenient epithet, ‘‘fair’); Columbus, the poet Camoens, and Marshal Ney. One does not like to think of red-haired poets; but the reader will find that auburn, which has at least & warm tinge on it, has not been uncommon among *‘the brotherhood of the tuneful lyre,” Shakspere’s hair and beard were auburn, if we may credit the original coloring of his bust in Stratford’s church, and Milton’s **hya- cinthine locks” were of a similar color.

Democratic Bookmakers of New York Not So Sanguine as They Were— The Republican Tarifl Meas- ure—Miscellaneous, The Federal Court Bill. WasiiNerox Braeav tie Oyana Ber, 513 FounrTeENTH STREET, Wasningron, D. C., August 4, To-day the bill providing for the terms of the United States district and cireuit courts at additional points in Nebraska was sent to the president for his signature. The Ne- braska delegation say that it will be promptly signed and that it will become a law within a few days. The house receded from its dis- agreement to the senate amendment striking out Kearney, and the bill, as it will become a law, will provide that terms of the courts shall be held at Omaha, Lincoln, Norfolk and Hastings. The Nebraska delegation in con- gress, as well as the citizens directly mter- ested in Kearney and North Platte, made all the efforts vossible to have these cities named in the bill. The delegation from North Platte, as mentioned in my dispatches to last night's BEE, ure yet in the city enjoy- ing themselves, notwithstanding the factthat their mission, from a business point of view, will be fruitless. It required a great deal of effort to convinee the senate that Norfolk and Hastings should be added to Omaha and Lincoln for terms of the courts. Judge Dundy did a great deal towards prejudicing the senate committee on judiciary against the proposition and some members of the senate committee referred to the application of the Nebraskuns for an increase of terms as “putting the court on wheels.” Tt re- quired a good deal of effort, also, to convinee the house committee on judiciary but it was necessary to have the three additionol places which the bill mentioned as it passed the house. Messrs. Rodgers of Arkansas and Henderson of North Carolina, the con- ferees on the part of the house said to-day that it became evident very soon after the conference committee met that the gen- tlemen acting for the senate were unyieid- ing und that it would be a simple waste of time for the house to try to convince the sen- ate that it was necessary to reinstate Kear- ney in the bill, cand so the house confers yielded and th DEMOCRATIC GAMBLERS W Gentlemen arriving here from New York report that the betting in the metropolis ou the approaching presidential election has al- most ceased. The geneval trend of public opinion toward Harrison and Morton has checked the enthusiasm on the other sice to such an extent that the book-makers have almost closed up_busin Then the an- nouncement that Mr. Blame intends to de- ote all his time, beginning about the 5th - of this month, to aking for the republican ticket has' disheartened those who have been placing their money on Cleve- land and Thurman. Instead of two to one as were given a month agzo on Cleveland the best offers of odds that are being made now are £1,000 to £300, or £10,000 to 5,000 in tavor of the' democratic ticket. Some bets were reported in Wall street yesterday of $5,000 on Harrison and Morton to £5,000 on the demo- cratic ticket, and a Montuna miner was searching to get even bets on Cleveland. The reticence of Chairman Quay and the great flood of visitors ta the republinan com- mittee headquarters placed a mystery around the situation, and those who were betting w0 to one on_democratic success a month ago, now decline to place money because they have, they say, no information as to how the campaign is going, and they don’t propose to jump in the dark. THE SENATE AND TIE TARIFF, Senators Allison and Hiscock were in con- sultation to-day in the room of the commit- tee on finance with a number of gentlemen outside of congress on the tariff bill. The measure is practically*complete so far as the sub-commitlee is concerned, but Senator Al- lison stated this afternoon that it would not be ready to report to the senate before the latter part_of week after next. There are appropriation bills and the fisheries treaty which will oceupy every hour of the sen- ate's time till that date, and inasmuch as these measures must be disposed of before the tariff bill is taken up for debate, the mem- bers of the committee on finance say the no ‘need to hurry the tar bill. A limited number of copies of the incomplete measure were printed some days ago, but they have been kept under a pledge of secrecy in the hands of about a dozen republican sen- ators and three or four republican members of the house committee on ways and means, They say that if the details were published at this time innumerable annoyances would come to the committee, PRESSURE FROM THE OUTSIDE, They do not care to injure the trade of the country by any unnecessary agitation. When their bill is done they will submit it and have it passed just as it comes from the committee. They point to the recent deci- sions of the treasury department which are bewng stubbornly insisted upon and which are based on ambiguous phrases and stern technicalities for the purpose of forcing pub- I opinion in favor of the Mills bill, and which are bringing about great in- justice to manufacturers. ‘Those who have seen the bill say it will reduce the incomes of the government more thun the Mills bill. The reduction on sugar is 40 per cent, 25 in the Mills bill, and the dut, baceo is fixed at 75 cents per pound, and fillers at 15 cents. It is said that these rates will be to the decided advantage of growers of leaf tobacco throughout the country, and will allow them to drive out and the other inferior grades, whil the same time the low rates on fillers will allow our manufacturers to import with advantage from Cuba and clsewhere. With the fine Amierican leaf and Cuba fillers, smokers will get better cigars at lower prices than at present. Although the senate comumittee has ally ugreed to $14 a ton for steel rails, finally fix the rate at $15.50. There is minstion to have the bill as perfect as possible before its contents are authentically made public. MISCELLANEOUS, Second Licutenant HBenjamin M.

Periy S, HEaTi, e THE FISHERY THEATY DEBATE, Why Republicans Objected to an Exe- cutive Session, WasniNGToN, August 4.—{Special to Tur Ber,j—"“We had a very hard tusscl,” said one of the oldcst republican senators this morning in discussing the pending debate on the fisheries troaty, “to secure open doors for the cousideration of the lisheries ques- tion. ke republicans wounid net have in- sisted that tho treaty shou'd bo discussed with cpen doors Lad it not been that the sec- retary of state and the president wero back- ing up the democratic senators 1 an offensive line of polioy—a policy of greut offense tothe republican members of the committee on foreign relations. They were insis.ing that it was pure cussedness wioving the republi- cans in their oppositiou to the ratificution of the treaty. This charge was made so repeatedly that the country seemed to be arriviog st the con- clusion that the opposition to the treaty was not based purely upon’ equable and just grounds.

The treaty of 1818 gives us far more right in tho Cana. dian territory than the treaty now pendin, in the senate, and inasmuch as the treaty 1818 I8 allve on the law books of our diplo- matic department nly requires enforce- ment, thero is no sity whataver of our surrendering the right§ very much needed. “A few days before the vote was taken upon the proposition to disekss the treaty in open doors,"” continued the senator, ‘‘an official statement was given to the public by demo- cratic senators to the effect that in reality the republicans were npp;&ml to open debate on the treaty, because i{ would expose their partisanship, and the weakness in their posi- tion, and that the democrats were all fight- ing for an open discussion. Had not this an- nouncement been made it 18 quite probable that the treaty world not have been openly debated, because the republicans were arriy ing at the conclusion that there might be some indiscrect thing said, from a diplomatic standpoint, during the debate, and therefore it would be better to discuss the treaty in the usual way, behind closed doors. As soon as the democrats assumed this false position before the public a special caucus of the r publicans was held, and a vote was at once taken upon the proposition to throw open the doors, Only three senators—Edmunds Cnandler and Hale—voted against open doors.

The people probably recognize that the Omabas are putting up a very fine and bril- liant game of ball just now. Threo weeks ago they occupied sixth place in the pennant chase, and to-d stand third, with but a fractional difference separating them from the leaders, Out of the last fourteen games played they have won thirteen, a record that has not been surpassed by any of the West- ern association teams, and in their present condition u continuance of this grand work can be confidently looked for. They are particularly strong just now in the box, Lovett, Clarke, Shaffer and Moffett consti- tuting a quartette of pitchers that any of the big league club would be glad to possess, and to face this excellent rotating talent they have & brace of buckstops in Wilson and Nagle that ave hard to equal and impossible to beat.

Now the cranks and the croakers must —and asseverate is no siouch of a 1—that the Omaha's wouldn't support Lovett. That will be i conson- ance with thelr programme so far. But lot’s sco how it happened, anyway. The Highland songster was_ the ‘first man went out from Fors- ter to Fuller tephens attempted to stave in Annis’ ribs with the ball and I sent him to first. He stole second. then took his position at the plate, and after ejecting about a half pound of well masti- cated “Star” from that fountain of sweet sounds of his, he smashed the spheroid out against the right fleld fence for a sack, Billy galloping home, Crooks also pilfered sec- ond. O'Connell hit to Forster, who made a sitors four, and Omaha's were r, Burns and Annis both double play, and P. O. was safe and Crookson third. Of course there was a melodious out- burst from the 1,200 spectators there. Cooney now came forth. He never said a word, but lin: the ball out to where Mr. MecAlser was tramping down the clover, and O'Connell and Crooks chased each othier name. Cooney, much elated with his good luck, essayed 10 reach sccond, but was caught on the throw in. That was too bad, the people do so love to see the boy The Beer Jerkers failed to score. In the second Loveuwt went out on @ high spring chicken to War- ner, but Miler got his base on balls, By the way, did you know that Miller's home run hit in Thursday’s game struck Jeff Bed- ford’s “Hit Me For Twenty-tive Dollars,” way ovt i deep center! Not Well, it did, and Jeff gave him a check for that amount lust evening. - ; But as we were saying a_moment_since, Joo got his base on balls. He went down to second on Nagle's fiy to MeAleer, third on a wild pitch and home on IFoster’s fumble of the Poet's grounder, That is the last run Omaha got. Butit was plen ‘The visitors failed to score until the fourth, then they got in one little, emaciated, cuda: verous tally, and that was all. How'd they manage to do it! Why, after Forster had tlied out to Burns, Sir Joseph Strauss, from Covington, Ky, hit Mr, Lovett beautiful three bageer, and made home ller's out from Crooks to P, O. 's about all the was of it. From this point on out it was an uninterrupted row of goose egzs for both sides, Some lit- tle additional interest may be derived from the ofticial score. It is appended : OMAIIA.

He Delivers a Wild Harangue to His Democratic Followers. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SCARED. His Powers of Vituperation Given Full Swing and Justice am} Reason Thrown to the Winds. Voorhees' Bitter Attack. Tenrne Haute, Ind., August 4. —The demo- cracy of this city and vicinity held a mase meeting to-night and Senator Voorhees mada the opening speech of the democratic cam- paign 1 Indiana. The following is a synop- s very movement in the machinery of the government set in motion by the republican leaders and managers has been to swell and bloat the gains of the rich and incrense tho burdens of the poor. The republican con- spiracy to fasten the fangs of the mone, power in the struggling body of Am n labor took its first great step in authorizing legal tender curreucy in 1802 Greenback, the immortal and glorious greenback, was diseriminated against and made non-recely able for duties on imports and for interest on the bonded debt. No finan- ¢ WEASUTe WaAS ever more opj ivo and destructive to the rights of labor in its results than this, he senator declared that this act enablod the “bullionists™ of Wall street to realize a profit in “naked speculation” with the bonds and currency of the uution of nearly on thousand million dollars. He said: *1do not believe any other people on tho elobo would have submitted, unless restrained by force, to the monstrous act of congress of March, 1860, By one dishonest sty dishonest pen, guided and held by dishonest leaders of a great party, the debt wh to pay was swollen 25 por cont. © then quoted a letter written | Sherman in 1808, wherein Sherman said: 1 thivk the bondholder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kin of money he paid for bis bonds.” “Why, asked the speaker, “should not the procss back come to the front at this time, and & all times, when the interests of the laboring classes are und consideration. Persist- ently stigmatized and cari as o rag baby, for years den a8 dishonest money, a fraud upon the business and com- mercial world, yet it stands to-day with a PUrchasing power as great us the brightest 1d dollar. The republican candidate for prosident suggested in 1573 that an idiot asylum ought to be erected for be- lievers in the greenback. 1 believed in the greenback then and do now, and i take my place alongside of you under Gen- cral Harrison's sweeving, o iutolerant, brutal eriticism and denunciation. He can vassed the state in 1878 as the candidate of his party for the senate, as I did as the can- didate of mine, aud the people of Indiana de- cided by more than thirty thousand majority that he was nearer a tinancial idiot than I was, and that I should go back to Washing- ton. " Senator Voorhees then entered upon the tariff issue und recounted the history of mod- ern tariff legislation. No relief, the speaker declared, was afforded 1o labor by a vresort to the domestic excise system, On the contrary, this system was made the pretext for still further encroachmwents on the part of monopoly and greed against the rights of those who toil. The two acts of congress of 1562 and 1304, by which protective duties were made to ascond to a Pike’s peak altitude, werce demanded on the expresssground that the manufacturer should be compensated for the amount of his internal tax. On this point the speaker quoted extensively from Senators Morrill, Allison and others, and said that for nine- teen years the republican party has caused the people to pay the manufactvrer at least £100,000,000 a year in consideration of a tax aid by the manufacturer to the government. gloucy kings have thas far rosisted overy effort to reduce the mountainous tarift duties by which they have drained the earn- ings of the people. utor Voorhees then discussed the labor question and surplus. He declared that the labor interests of the country need in circula- tion every dollar that can be spaved from the expenses of the government, and yet, there is piled up as a useless surplus enough of the L.hm—ing people’s money to pay dow h more than “200 for every day since tae birth of Christ. Touching upon the republican internal rev- enue plank, Senator Voorhees n this Christian _land and age men sometimes spoken of as Christian statesmen have nothing botter than free whisky and tobacco to offer the people in rosponse to their cry for relief. The slave holders of the south once belonged to a class which composed the money power. They once were the monopo- lists of cheap, underpaid labor. The most bitter and implacable supporters of slavery thirty years ago, w in fact, the most suc- cessful and efficient abolitionists of the nine- teenth centur, 3 ok too far, and their blows came back to destroy them. And 80 it will be with the purse-proud, msolent aud misled tax leaders of the present day, By making no concession to the overtaxed people, and by refusing a single dollar of re- duction on the nccessities of life, but on the contrary insisting that whisky and tobacco should be free, the manufacturers have done more to promote ideas of free trade in this in the jast few months than the cloquent and gifted tongues and pens of Frank Hurd, flenry Watterson and David Vells.” The speaker {ouchad upon the part General Hurrison took in suppressing the riots in 1577, and closed by suying us attorney for on comwitted a crime against the state by declaving in the dismissal of Blaine’s suit azainst an individaul paper that justice could not be obtained in the state. el A Lively Dakota Convention.
