— EIGHTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1888 THEPITTSBURG. MINE HORROR Additional Incidents of the Terrible Explosion. IDENTIFYING THE DEAD. Borrowfal Scenes at the Mouth of the Shaft-Heart-Broken Wives and Mothers Weeping Over Their Mangled Doad. Death in the Mine. 87 Louis, Nov. 11.--Dispatches from Pittsburg, Kan,, give the following as some of tho incidents of amine horror at that place: For hours after the explosion had snuffed out the lives of nearly a hundred men, the scene at the pit was distressing. Poorly clud women with babies clasped to 10 their breasts came through the darkness by the light cast by the bonfires, like hag gard, uncanny beings from another world. Some shrioked above tho storm ard mut tered as they fell helpless on the shoulaers of stronger neighbors. Others were mad in thewr despair, and tore their har and garments and would have dashed headlong into the tomb but for the strength exhibited by the miners from other shafts. One poor woman whose husband and two sons were in the pit, lay her three youngest children be- side the bluzing fire and then fell in hysterics among them, She lay unnoticed in this posi- tion till morning when she was removed to her home & raving man iac. At one time the crush of women and children was so great that it was feared that violence would be necessary in order to clear a way for th rescuers, The poor creatures fought each other in_their despuir and in in- stances inflicting severe punishn night wore on the work of recovering the bodies continued until the floor of the engine house was strewn with mangled men. Their bodies were placed in_rows upon the ground where the rain and snow beat upon them. Most of the victims were shockingly muti- Jated, sonic being so horribly disfigured as to be unrecognizable, All were covered with blood and dust. and many were almost stripped of their clothing. There was noth- ing left of the first man_brought up from the dreadful hole but a_bleeding trunk, for his extremities had been blown off. Many of the searchers fainted. As fast as the bodies were brought to the surface there was @ rush made to identify them. A dozen women in many cases being engaged at one time scanning the bleeding fuce of some un- fortunate. There are still ubout fifty bodies in the lower levels. Some of the victims were found buried beneath immense weights of slate, while others were discovered in groups and in all kinds of positions. Two men who had not been identified were so tightly locked in each oth arms t was with great difiiculty that they were torn apart. Their eyes had been blown out by an explosion, and their faces were so horribly crushed that thew bones were ground into the flesh. Coroner Fisher afternoon and allow: mains of the dead, mpaucled a jury this them to view the re- 'he mquest will begin at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. It will be a long onc, as every cffort will be made by both company and men to as- certain the cause of the awful calamity with the exception of two or three who will bo buricd by relatives, the victims will be Iaid to rest with but one service, The com- pany will have full charge of the general funeral and will see that the men are given ckristian funeral. The bodies have been cleaned up as well as possible and placed in neat fling ~ ready for the solemn services to-morrow. W. W. Allen, superintendet of all the Santa Fe mines, arrived at noon, and began an in- vestigation into the cause'of the explosion. Superintendent Robert Craig said he was more than ever convinced that it was due to the ignition 1 dust follow- ing_an_ over overcharge shot produces & flame which puffs back and pathers up the dust and ignites it. Better ventilation would have made niore terrific the exploslon in casc of dust, because of o plentiful supply of oxygen. Mr. Craig stated that every morning before work two men were sent through the mine to examine it for gas. On Friday, tne day of calamity, they reported no gas as usual, and he was of the opinion that the explosion (if caused by gus) would certainly have oceurred before 5 o'clock p.m., as 164 men were working there all day with naked lamps; but it did not take place untii 5:10 p. m, when they began firing their shots. This convinces Mr. Craig that it was dust explosion. 'Iie miue can be pnt into condi- tion for work in three or four days, and the money damage is only slight, Mine In- spector Iindlay's views coincide with those of Superintendent Craig, but many of the old miners express opinions directly op posite. The relief subscription fund already amounts to §1,000 and it is constantly grow- ing. The ludies have been ministering tothe wants of the wounded and the care of the widows and children. Farmers’ wives have come in for miles with food, clothing, bau- dages, cte., and all the citizens have been un- uring in their efforts to alleviate tho suffer- ing. - AN OUTRAGED BANNER. A Harrison Flag Hauled Down—Puab- e Indignation ac the Outrage. Grexrock, Wyo., Nov, 11.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Beg.|--A large and costly American flag, which was made and pro- sented to this town last Fourth of July by the ladies, was yesterday suspended between the postoftice building and the bank it honor of the elcci‘on of Harrison, Last night some miscreant 0. miscreants cut down the flag aad removed it, In consequence, the town is intensely excited this morning. The flag has not been recovered, nor the names of the per- petrators of the deed discovered. All day yesterday thrats that this would be done were uttored on the streets, but they were not credited. Rewards ha been offered and publishicd and the reward fund bhas al- ready grown boyond the sum oftored.

Material for the new flig was not at hand in town in sufticient quantities and donations cume in from private sources, contribating the regd, white aud blue sure cuough, but of vastly different shades.

LORD SALISBURY'S DINNER TALK He Sneers at the Methods of Amer- ican Politiclan [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.) LoxpoN, Nov. 11.—[New York Her ald Cable—Special to Tne Bee)— -Lord Salisbury has informed the world that all is peace, and the sky of England 1s all sereno. This is doubt- less the proper thing for prime ministors to say when they are dining with the lord may but the latter part of the speech, dweiling with great emphasis on the necessity of Eug land's making greater naval and military vreparations, contradicts the former vart. For he is well aware that the sky, instead of being clear, a good many ominous clouds init. How about the position at Suakim, over which Lord Saiisbury passad so lightly? Is there no amnger there! The English force is small and the enemy are accumulating with a speed which gives no light anxiety to experienced English oficers. This very morning it is aunounced that Gen Al Grenfell is in favor of a policy of pas- sive resistance at Suakim. What does that mean, excopt that the English force is not strong enough to cope with the Arabs. Are we in for another Egyptian war, which can bring no possible advantage to English peo- ple and will inevitably lead to larce sacrifi ce of life and expenditure to drain the treas- ury? So it would seom. Lovd Salisbur, zives out word that the English do not mean to rctire from Egypt just yet. They will have to pay dearly for staying there. That much may be inferred from the past, for fresh troops will have to be sent shortly unless the rebel- lion collapses in an uncxpected manner. I venture to doubt whether the nation will see those movements with satisfaction. Next comes the little disagreement with the United States. It may be doubted whether Lord Salisbury’s reference to that was at all judicious, for he expressed no regret for the highly mischievous interference of Lord Suckville in the domesiic politics of the United States. He doe s not deprecate the act but contents himsclf with a snecr at the electioneering methods in America and utters an ill-disguised exultation over the fact that President Cleveland and his party have been turned out. Well, is that wise, especially as Lord Salisbury has made up his mind not to renew diplomatic relutions with the United States for some time to come! ‘The side which undoubtedly put itself in the wrong at the outset has not much right to show resentment, even if it receives an affront. The affront is a part of the con quence of its own act. Lord Salisbury evi- dently takes a different view of matters thinks Lord Sackville was not to blame, the sole responsibility rests with President Cleveland’s government. Is that the view which is taken by most Englishmen or by a majority of the house of commons? There are very good reasons for doubting it. Per- haps the question may be brought to some sort of test before very long. =Xia Removing the Remains. Rarip City, Dak., Noy. 1L.—[Special Tel- egram to Tur Bse)—The remains of s E. Pendleton, George W. Jones, rqubart and J. W. Patterson, the four men who were murdered by Indians near Rapid City in August, 1876, were to- removed from their place of burial to Evergreen cemctery. ses of an im- posing order accompani ent, and were attended by the survi neers of the Black Hills, s8 of the day was made by D. R. Hughes, editor of the Journal, a 'iber. The procession to the cem- etery was one of the longest ever seen in this town, The affair was conducted under the auspices of the city and county. —————— AMUSEMENTS, ‘The anuouncement that Gilmore’s wonder- ful band would give two perfor.nances, mat- inee und evening, drew large audiences to the Grand opera house. In their anticipations the public were in no wise subjected to the slightest disappointment. ~ Gilmoro gave two complete and cminently successful demon- strations of his great capacity as a caterer or p ublic favor and the efforts of himselfl and assistants met_with unstinted applause from an audience that were prodigal in their favors but somewhat exacting in their de- mands for eucores. Gilmere's artists ap- pearcd yesterday with all tho triumphs of their ~ pust successes thick upon them, and the muny “catchy” features of their work as instrumentalists were supplemented by the presence of a very sapable quartette of vocalists. In addition to this the caunon accompaniment was troduced with m uch effect at certain st; of their performance, The solo work by Sig- nors Raffuylo and Stengler on geuphonium and. clarionet, togothor with M, Sax, who received a double encore for his flate obli- gato and sclections from Gounods) opera of “Faust,” furnished abundant p%ur of the capacity of the orchestra. AThe band displayed all its old-time precis- ion of execution. At no time was there the stightest uppearance of lack of harmony, and the great maestro, more, kept his ~ forces thoroughly in hand, weilding the baton as only Gilmore can do, thereby securing a perfec- tion of erscmble so necessary for perform- . such as those of yesterday. Consti- s Gilnorc's orchestra is, every man un artist in himself, “great expectalions” were formed. Ferfect faith was kept by the performers, and the public went away de- lighted, In the selection from “Chimes of Normundie” nothing could be finer than tho oxecution, and o cleverer rendition of lanquette’s” music could not have been obtained. The delightful piquancy with which the movements were commenced and carried through a succession of intricate forte and piinissamo passuges was per- fectly delightful.

Some of the Benefits to Be Derived From Harrison's Election. REPUBLICANS' BRIGHT PROSPECT dvantages of Controlling the Reapportionment of the Congres- sional Districta—Harrison's Private Secretary. Wasmixarox Buneav Tir Ovana Ber, l 513 FOURTEENTIU STREET, Wasniveron. D. C, Nov. 11.) There 18 one feature of the victories at the polls last week which does not seem to have fully dawned yet upon the minas of the act- ors, but which is being discussed with a great deal of concern by some of the demo- crats of the south. That is that the control of the two houses of congress will give the re publican party the control also of the appcr- tionments under the eleventh census, The ecleventh census will be taken in June, 1500, and the reapportionment of congressional representation will follow during the session of congress succeeding. The suppression of the colored vote in the south will certainly lead to a curtailment of the number of repre- sentatives in that section, and a correspond- ing increase in the representation of some of the western states, notably Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota, which are naturally republican. ‘This, together with the admission of four new states with at least twelve electoral votes, in 1802, will change the status of the next campaign to a considerable degree, and will be likely to have a marked effect in maintaining the ascendency of the republican dynasty. Southern men profess to believe that their section will lose at least ten electoral votes in the new apportionment, which they natur- ally infer will be added to the strength of the republican states of the northwest. —If this is done and the new states admitted prove to be republican in sentiment there is reason to believe that the solicitude of the southern democrats is well founded and that some at least of the clements of uncertainty will be removed from the next grand contest, Iepublican succoss this year also means that the control of the United States su- preme court is no lonzer in danger of passing out of the hands of the republican party. President Harrison will, in all probability, have the appointment of four, and possibly five, associate justices during his term, and that will insure the control of the highest court in the count.y for the generation unless the mortality among the members of the court is much heavier than it has ever been before. On the whole therefore the republi can party has increasing causes to congratu- ate itself as the signiticance of last Tue day’s victory becomés apparent. FORR TIHE PRESIDENT'S PRIVATE SECRETARY. The correspondent of the Detroit Tribune sends the following to his paver to-night: “The Washington correspondents are miore interested in the appointment of a private sceretary to the new president, perhaps, than in any other chango which will be le upon the inauguration of President arrison, and when it appears likely that one of their number will be chosen for th it place, their interest becomes still more keen. It is generally thought here that Mr. Perry S. Heath, for seven years the correspondent of the Indfanapolis *Journal, will be selected for this pluce, and it speaks volumes for Mr. Heath's popularity that the suggestion of his name meets with the heartiest commendation of every man on Newspaper Row without a - single exception. The position of private secretary to the president is an executive one and very difiicult to fill. Hav- ing business with the executive ofice a suc- cessful private secretary must have a wide acquaintance with public men. He must boe thoroughly familiar with the routine duties of the white house, as well us a knowledge of . ftairs in both houses of congres So- sinlly ho must huve the qualitications neces- sary to take u great deal of the routine from the executive shoulders, and he must be a man upon whom the newspaper correspond- ents can rely for accurate and not misleading information. Mr. Heath is thirty years of age. He has resided in Washington for seven years, and 18 positively one of tue most populur in the corps of correspondents. His intimate knowledge of matters before congress would make him a val- uable advisor to the president when called upon to consider measures which might or might not be shuky. Mr. Heath was one of the first newspaper correspon. dents here to start u boom for General Har- rison and during the latter days of the cam- paign he has been at the general's side. He is still in Indiana and as he knows nearly every politician in the Hoosier state he will, if appointed, relieve the president of the po- iitical work of the state. Mr. Heath has travelled extensively in Europe, and besides Tis newspaper writings hus written an inter- esting little work on RRussia, which was pub- Lished this summer under the title “A Hoosier in Russia.”’ A few years ago Mr. Heath wrote a series of letters upon the duties of the various executive departments which were the best papers of the kind which have yet appeared. Colonel Alexander, formerly fifth auditor of the treasury, has been mentioned 4s a possibill in this place, but Colonel Alexander told your correspondent himself on Wednesday last that he had no intentioa of appearing as a candidate for the position in any way, and further, he said, that in his opinion Mr. Heath was the best man for the place, and the one most likely to be selected by the presidont-elect. A FUND FOR MRS. GENERAL SUERIDAN. A schedule of General Sheridan’s estate has been filed in the court and foots up $65,- 000, including his real estate here and on the island of Nantucket, his library, his valuable swords and other ralics of value. As most of the property is unproductive, Mrs. Sheri- dan will be left with a very small income and a few friends have undertaken to raisea fund of $100,000 for her benefit. They ao not appeal to the public, but are quietly passing round for signatures with great suc- everal gentlemen, among them George Anthony Drexel of Philadelphia, President Morton, Joseph Pulitzer, 'shall Field, George M. Pullinun, P. D! Armour, and General Alger, of Michigan, have subscribed 5,000 each, and a number of others have contributed £1,000. It is believed that the sum desired wil be raised without dificulty or much delay. INAUGURAL BALL. in this city have already got into a squabble about the arrangmeents for the inaugural ball, The Republican league took the initial step mmediately after Harrison's election was assured, and ap- pointed o cornmittee with General Edward I, Beale as chairman, to set the machinery in motion. This league is a political club, which embraces in its membership nearly all tho ofticials in the District of Colunbia, ‘and they nuturally would like to display their ardor as early and as often as possible, but the prominent citizens who do not belong to the club have elubbed together against this ssuinption of authority, and have calle meeti which a° committee of citi will b pointed to charge of the ball and raise moncy to pay the expenses. In arder to settle all di as to the chair- manship of this committee, Scnator Quay has been asiked to select 4 wan, and he has named Colonel A. T. Britton, & prominent lawyer, who was the largest coutributor in the " Distriot of Coluibia &0 the republican campaign fund ——— ther Indications.

DID HE MURDER M8 CHILDREN? Evidence Connccting a Canadian Minister with a Tercible Crime. MONTREAL, Nov, 11.+~{Special Telegram to Tug Bee.|—In June last the community of Danville, near here, was startled one morn- ing by the finding in a milkpond at that place the dead body of Miss Lily Powell, the handsome daughter of Rev. Dr. Powell, & Congregational minister residing at Shor- brook. Investigation showed that the girl was undoubtedly murderod, George and Fred Allen and a woman to whom the latter was paying attentions had been acquainted with Lily Powell, and the night before the latter's body was found the four had attended a Salvation Army celebra- tion. The Allens were arrested. Fred Allen and the woman proved indisputably that they were not noar the scene of the murder, and George Allen proved an alibi by the testimony of the murdered girl's father, Dr. Powell. All the prisoncrs were dis- charged and §1,000 reward was offered for the murderer's appreliension. Detectives from Montreal were secured on the case. As a result, two woeks ago George Allen and the woman were rearrested and indicted for the murder of Lily Powell. A strict watch was also set over the father of the murdered girl. The trial began on Thursday, but no evidence directly conncet ing the Allens with the case was adduc until this morning, when Mrs. Schenevin, neighbor of the Powells, was asked if George Allen had said auything to her about Lilly before the latter was murdered. She said she had been told that Rev. Dr. Powell paid A man 300 to kil his daughter. It scoms that Powell’s wife when she died left #0000 to a son and daughter, Powell went sailing with his son one day and the son never re- turncd. The father said he fell overboard and was drowned. It is now believed that Powell killed his son and had the daughter murdered so he could get their money. The case is still being worked upon by detoctives, and the trial goes on. ~ Powell is under sur- veillance, U THE CLEARANCE RECORD. The Financial Transactions of the Past Week.

New York, Nov. 11.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee)—A Journal special from Washington says: Through the medium of his pretty aaughter, Lord Sackville has re- venged himself against President Cleve- land in truly English style. Miss West went out shopping yesterday with a well known member of the Italian legation, for whom the young lady has of late shown a decided partiality. The two entered a big dry goods store un Pennsylvania avenue and were talking over their purchases when the president’s carriage drove up to the curb and Mrs, Cleveland alighted. Miss West and her Italian [riend saw this but affected ignorance of the tact that the president's wife was in the store, Mrs., Cleveland approached them, The young attachee raised his bat. Mre, Cleveland acknowlodged the salute and spoke to him. Then with a smile she ex- tended her hand to Miss West. But that young lady would have none of it. With a supercillious air she looked at Mrs. Cleve- land from head to foot as if she were some important beggar, ' ‘With a well studied dramatic action s shrank from the ex- tended hand and fol@ing hers in front of her, turned her back the president's wife. Mrs, Cleveland blanched for a moment. Her position was very embarrassing. Half a dozen of the store employes had witnessed this incident and Miss West's Italian friend wore a stolld look of preocupation as if he were careless of the insult offered. Mrs, Cleveland's face flushed, her lips contracted and her eyes flashed. Her equanimity, however, was very soon restored and with- out saying another word to either Miss West or the Italian, she passed on to a neigh- boring counter and transucted her business quickly and left the store. Inasmuch as the twa ladies have often been seen together of late the incident bas provided great food for the gossips. Thé prevailing opinion is that Lord Sackville's recéat discomfiture ought never to have influe his daughter’s good mauuners. To an intimate fricud she ad- mitted that she keenly felt being snubbed, not so much because the British minister's daugnter had snubbetl her, as for the reason that she had hoped td leave Washington for- ever with nothing but pleasant recollections of the place, ' e Rousing Ratification at Grafton, GRrarrox, Neb., Ngv. 11.—[Special to Tur Bee.]—A rousing ratification was given in this place last night'and Harrison and Mor- ton was in every mofith, There wag firing of anvils, blowing of| horns, ringing G1 bells, men, women and &bildren marching aud singing, in short & “might made lideous.” Such demonstration \us indulzed in for over an hour, when the Jrocession marched to a huge pile of baled hay saturated with oil, and with broper ceremonies the largest bon fire our people ever say was started, Then fol- lowed the speech making which was of the very best, beeguse, it came dircet from the hearts of puch old soldiers as Cap tains Keal und Bargett, Mr. Toller, Georg H.

Steamship Arrivaly. At New' York-+The Alasks, from Liver- »ook WON BY THE ANTIMONOPOLIES The Thirty Thousand Iowa Railroad Votes Fail to Materialize. THEIR CANDIDATES ARE ROUTED While the Anti-Corporatton Candi- dates Rolt Up a Tremendous M ity,and the Republicans Sw the State Like a Cyclone, ajor- op A Political Tidal Wave. Des Moives, Ta, Nov. 11.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Ber|—The political “tidal wave' has struck Towa in full force. Har. rison and Morton have carried the state by more than 30,000 mnjority, aud every candi date on the republican state ticket is tainly elected. The battle has been fought and the victory won by the auti-monopoly element of the and the 0,000 railroad votes that wor 1St against the repub. lican ticket did not materialize on election day, or were more than offset by the votes of old-time greenbackers and democratic farm ers, who flocked to the republican stand ard on account of the bold pesition taken by the last state convention in - favor of the control of corporations. The 60,000 majority called up for Smth and Campbell for railroad_commissioners over Wills and Dey, the railroad candidates, attests in some degree the popularity of thése officials. C. L. Lund, the other democratic candidate, seems to have been lost sight of in the deal, but he is quite likely behind the party vote many thousand. The railroads “appear to have made no effort to elect Luna. Every ono of the tickets so industriously peddled on election day by their heelers and strikers had the names of Wills and Dey instead of Campbell ann Mahin, but little "effort being made to beat Smith. The scheme to get Wills name on the union labor ticket seems to have succeeded in many places and Dey was suvported by them almost to a man, The city of Dubuque, & union labor strong- hold, gives Dey more than 4,000 majority over Makin The raiiroad and the anti- monopoly elements vied with each other in cutting Makin and voting for Dey, and he has come very near beiug elected.” Makin's ¢ is not more than 2,500, and may be wiped out by the ofticiul returns from Fremout, Pottawatumie, Carroll and other strong democratic countics The republicans of this county (Polk) were completely dozed by the completeness of their victory. To carry this county by 1,000 was the highest expectations of ~ the nost sanguire, and when the returns showced more than 2,000 majority for Harrison and the clection of the whole state and county ticket, they could hardly realize it. Among the residents of Des Moines are a large number of hoosiers who have taken Horace Greely's advice and ‘“gone west,” and their enthusiasm was unbounded. Everyone of them, so far as known, voted for Hurrison, and their intluence contributed largely in piling up the magnificent majority for the state ticket. Another result of the election is the utter rout and discomfiture of the so-called independent republicans. This element, which favors high license rather than prohibition, and was able to muster eight or nine hundred votes, last year, was_ squarely defeated. Phillipps, their pet candidate for prosecuting attorney, though endorsed by the democrats and supported by by the union labor party, was ‘beated by Macomber, the republican and prohibition nommee, by-sqmefeur hundred majority. This means that the pronibitory law will nforoed for the next two years to the very letter, so far-as this ofticer is concerned. The prohibition candidates for [ustice of the peace and constables are all elected i _the ecity, with a singie exception, and the question whether or not the prohibi- tory law can be enforced in a city, the size of Des Moines, will have a fair trial during the coming two vears. The defeat of Weaver and Anderson for congress was a surprise to all parties. The heavy vote polled in the district, the excite- ment of a presidential campaign, the defec- tion of leading old-time greenbackers, and the determination of the democratic leaders, 1o unload Weaver at any cost, were the main elements that contributed to the defeat of the greenback statesman. The republicans bought the greenback papers in his district, and either suppressed them or turned them against their chief. Every prominent old- time greenbacker who had deserted the party was placed on the stump, and rmier . Caine,” the union labor candidate for governor last year, openly op- posed Weaver's election. ~ Davis county, Weaver's home, only gave him 600 majorit) a loss of nearly five hundred from two years ago. The defeat of the great chieftain and lead- ing exponent of the greenback theory means the death of that party in this state. Tho Streeter votes returned this year only foot up from six to ten thousand “against 15,000 votes for the party at the last election. Then there are factions in the party striving for leadership and masquerading with the demo- crats for personal advantage, and another year will wituess a still further reduction of their voting foroes. The defeat of Anderson in the Eighth district was a surprise to the most astute re- ublicans. His own county (IPremont) 18 argely respousible for the result. His major- ity of about eighteen hundred two years ago completely melted away, and Taylor county, which gave him seven hundred, now goes about four hundred for Flick. Anderson was not defeated because the people of his district repudiated the “Imogene platform” on which he was first elected, but rather be- cause the republican party has dethroned ““Hepburnism,” and made the leading prin- ciples expounded by Major Anderson a part of its creed. In other words, thousands of anti- monopolists voted for Flick because they believed he was [just as strongly in favor of correcting corporation abuses as Auderson. One of the most gr: fying results of the election was the com- plete vindication of the poliey adopted by Governor Larrabee in regard to the control of corporation: The magnificent majority of 60,000 for Smith and Campbell for railroad commissioners may be taken as the measure of the governor's popularity. It is safe to say that thisemphatic endorse- ment of the people will not only encourage he railroad commissioners in doing their duty, but will also allay the fears of timid partisans who dread the power of the ra roads in politics, When Judge Hubbard through counting the votes Wills lacks of a majority, if he is wise he will advise the Northwestern that hereafter it had better attend to its legitimate business of trans. porting freight and passengers and keep out of politics, especially in a state where the people are as determined as they re in lowato correct corporation abuses and secure relief from railroad extortion, ‘Fhe curses of the average democratic ol tician at the course pursued by Chairman Hunter are both loud and deep. Tf their memory does not fail them, it will be many a year before theg will allow themsclves to be drawn into another corporation combine to defcat the will of the people, Rex, Columbus Will Celebrate Corumnus, Neb., Nov. 11.—|Special to Tur Ber.|—The election of Harrison und Morton will be celebrated by a grand jollification Monday evening.

The Effect of the Presidential Elee tion on the Country's Trade. Cnicaao, Nov. 11| Special Telegram to Tur Bee, | —The same features that were ob- served in financial circles during the pre ceeding week largely prevailed during the vast weck. Money was in good demand from the local grain trade for the purpose of handling cereals hore and at interior points where there are stocks accumulating. Coun try bankers are also asking for liberal lines of discounts, aud the demand for mercautilo purposes has been good, and also by many jobbers whose collections are cash. Sales were materially curtailed by neglect of bust ness for politics, and now that the election is over business will elaim more attention, and the demacd from that source is expected 1o subside; the decrease, however, will be more than balanced by enlarged calls from other lines of business instead of diminution indemand, It islikely to still furtherex pand and’ although banks ure strong in funds they will unquestionably find the sup ply of paper secking discounts quite as large a8 they care to provide fo Tuterest rates were firmly 6 per cent on call and 634 8 per cont on time loans, and borrowers need not be surprised to see slightly suffer prices within the next few months. Such, at_least, is the opinion of some of the best banks in this city, unless, however, there is enlarged foreiga demand for gold 'to settle our trade balance, which unfortunately has been materially inereased by the refusal of Kurone to take the average or contage of our broad stuffs. “Thero is little reason to look for an comfortably close money market during the next six months, Shipments of money to this country wore moderate. New York ex change has heen barely active at 25¢ discount to 25¢ premium per §1,000 and closed at par. Foreign exchango was stronger and higher. Documentary sterling sold at 1,82 iy, closing at #4.83. Jobbing trade in dry goods and miscellancous lines of merchandise was slow, but prices for nearly all leading arti- cles were steady, and markea changes in val- ues are not anticipated in the near future. Merchants who are in_a_position to select their customers say that collections are fairly good, but some houses compluin of slow payments, though hope for better results in the near future. The New York stock market was dull during the carly part of the week, as Wall street operators devoted more attention to political affairs thun to speculation. The first two days wel devoted to evening-up trades, ns shorts fearvd a sharp advance here' was also a disposition on the part of oom traders to buy for & small bulge. A firmer feeling was developed and_prices’ ad vanced moderately. Tho market opened strong_and_higher after the holiday and the “lougs" took advantage of the advance and sold freely and secured fair profits. Outside support proved inadequate to sustain the an preciation and @ sharp recessiou in values followed, and wbout all of the gains were lost.

This, however, had little effect on values. Vanderbilts were steady and relatively stronger than other trunk line stocks, owing to a report that they were e ing more than their present dividends. The closing days witnessed increased trading. Taking the market on a'whole, it was o narrow and nervous one. The total sales on the New York stock- exchange: for the weok ending Friday wero (40,783 shares. Business in produce circles has been more scttled and the excitement attending the presidential election has died away. Specu lative trading has been only mioderatel active. Neither buyers nor sellers were up parently willing to irade to any extent but were rather disposed to even up their trade, Among shippers there was_more inclination 1o forward grain castward bofore the close of navigation, consequently there was a lit- tle more life n shipping circles. Receipts of grain at all western markets have been moderately freo, and shipments well maintained, especially 'from lake ports. Considerable grain also has been moved from the interior points on through rates of freight. The prices which have raled were somewhat_irregular, ruling higher on some cereals and lower on others, Export movement of corn has stimulated that article and oats have sympathized slightly. Seeds have shown a little more ss, but,_improvement in prices was siight, Provisions were stronger and pri more fayorable to scllers, due to light re ceipts of hogs, Receipts of cattle and sheep were well maintained.

Nov. 11.—(Special Telegram to Tue Bek.|[—The Morton county farmers are greatly excited over the wholesale norse stealing which has been 1n progross there for several days past. Morton is situated on the Indian Territory line. Friday might twelve desperadoes headed by the notorious outlaw, Bill Doty, came up from No-Man’s- Land for the purpose of driving off all the horses in the southern part of the county. They began with Captain Milton’s herd of thirtcen thoroughbreds, which were released from the stables and started in the direction of the territory. The remainder of tho then visited every ranch in the township and took posscssion of every horse of value, When they reached the farm of James L. Horton he and his sons showed fight, and withi three shotguns and plenty of ammunition they made it warm for Doty's crowd. The desperadoes were too numerous, however, and Horton and his sons were finally cap: tured. The three prisoners were tied to o fence with heavy rope and were compelled to remain in this position until discovered seven hours later by a ncl bor, when they werc released sud found that every horse on their m had been driven away. Over sixt; head of horses were capturea by the guo, and “driven toa point three miles bolow the territory in No Mun's land. Here the gung congregated yesterday with their srses and started for the Oklahoma country, hey had gone but a short distance when they were overtaken by a posse of Morton county farmers. A desperite fight ensucd qaring which George Hill, one of the horse thicves, was seriously wounded and his crowd was compolled to take to flight, but managed to get away with twenty head of horsos, The farmers arc organizing a vigilance society and will be prepared to meet tho gung when they put in another uppear- maintained at —~— A Farewell to Rev, Copelan rewells usurped toe pls of the us:al Subbath evening services in the Unitarian church last night, and members of the con- gr n crowded uround to say good-bye 10 the pastor they had listened to for years, To-night the Rev.

Simply, yet strikingly, was Mete' hall decorated yesterday, but the red and black colors of an: hism took the place of the na tional flag, as th portraits of those who, & year ago, explated upon the gallows the crimes their teachings had led others to commit. Arounl the walls were pictures emblematic of tho growth of ane archistical doctrines, interspersed with Gors man mottoes, and below the portrait thay adorned the stage was one reading, “Our He roes Against Tyranny.” Thoso in German were of the usual nature, calling on works ingmen to awake and know their wight, and urging them to “Down with tyranny" Anarchy still lives. Ladics were among the audience, listening quietly to the _declima- tions of the orators, and altogether there was an air of quietness about the mecting that seemed at variance to | preconceived notons of what it should be like. Otto Von den Stein took the chair, and after briefly recounting the incidents they led upon to memorize, introduced the fiest speaker, Andreen Afilens, of Cou cil Bluffs, who said it was not the first_tim he had addressed an Omaha audience on a somewhat similar occasion, and referred to the killing of ' Arm strong by the militin Some yoars ago. He smd they were aceused of ‘bemg revolutionists, and yet a capitalistic paper in Omaha had sau, the day after clection, that events wore pointing toward an aristocra or arevolution. It was not considered erime for the press to make that statement, but it was for them to do 80 as socialiste Look at society as it is now constituted, and you will see that a few want to control the many; they want to say what you will eaf, drink, wear, or do, but wihen the question is to better your condition, they leave it a blanl, Look at Nebraska, where they talk about and then look at things a8 should study socialism, the German citizens, Many would like to know whether socialists are numerically strong or not, and all such should refer “to Vietor Hugo's immortal work “Les Miserables.” Every class und cevery age has had its martyrs, Luther was one, Gallico was one and ihe men that died in Chicago were the martyrs of to-day, but® the principles they wdvoeated have not died with them, The disciples of anarchy uro found wmong the pocts and writers. Longe fellow wrote it, aud Proctor read it among the stars. It reached from California to Maine, both above and below ground. It is found wmong the professors, teachers, me- chanics, miners, and_even among the churches (“So help me G—d, T know of them in_Council Bluffs,” "the speaker suid). Anarch, had no wish to disturb the religious beliefs of any, us it taught frecdom of thought to all. A few weeks 0x0 o lecture on behalf of the Inights of Labor stated that members of that body were not anarchicts, and the latter could thank God that the statement was true, for in time of trinl tho knights had stood idly by and saw the martyrs hanged. They had stolen their ideas from the anar- chists, and from them learned theé doctrine that the railways should be owned by tha state. They were instructed to cefrain from interfering with politics, on the pan of for- feiting their charter, and yot how can they bring around reform if not by the ballotd If it's not the ballot, it must be revolution The knights do nov meddle in pobitics and look to the ballot for reform. Neither do the anarchists meddle with the ballot—they look to revolution for reform. And if they are revolutionists, what is going to be done aboutit! He had been to the halls of the convontion in Philadelphia, and had scen enough there to warn the workingmen of Omaha to come out and join_the socialists and leave Powderly “aud his _crew to paddle their own canoe. Silence is good, but was it right to remain silent while martyrs hanged! That is what the knights had done, and it was to keep Spies forever silent about a transaction, in which a banker was discreditably ciated, that he was made a victim of leg murder. One of the planis of the prohibi- tion party platform was to abolish, or make elective, the semate or ' the American house of lords, and yet the same wish had always been among the dreams of the German socialists. The prohibitionists were manlier than the other parties, and it is right to give even the devil credit when he deserves it They were men of convictions and they did not hesitate to announce them, although it put them ou the same level us the much abused anarchists, who sought the same reform. It was u cus where the extremes of both partics met on & common platform. Anarchy cannot be stopped. Its principle is_one for all and all for one,und it will come whether it is wanted or not. Omaha is & young city and has not feit the hunger and want that is known in Chicago and New York, but the time is coming when it will feel it, and then it will be found that anarchy 15 not dead-not even in Couns cil Bluffs, Mr. Short, also of Council Bluffs, was tha next speaker, and_addressed the **brothers and sisters” from the stundpoint of an “Irish Fenian.” He claimed to b an “American Fenian,” as well as Irish. He was glad to be amohg such men as he saw before him, bo- cause they carried such nobie principles, and they should look on the deccasca anarchists as being true American citizens. He had been nineteen years in Council Bluffs and had never heard such noble principles. ‘Tha pranciples for which men had becn executed in England and Ireland and Chicago were the pranciples of humanity, where humanity should be governed in its own bost iutorest, "The principles for which these men died ox- tended around the world, and traced to land- lords and railways the misery of the world, There were some who said that saloons wore the cause of the misery, but the spenker denied it. He had beeu in the business iime- self, and he knew there were noble souls in it, looking for the bencfit of their fellow men. Ho would not say what he Lud dong in the past, for it would not be hecoming, but the question was, hore we are and to wiom does the and belongl Po the few or to the whole nation? If it belonged to the fow, the nation was poverty stricken, and if io was, the population was ' necessarily 10’ The poverty of Ircland was cinsed by the land siipping from the peopla into the hands of the few, That question wiis now before them, and he would like to every man and ‘woman, feniuns. The women could help their husbands as they did inthe battle of Limerick, where they turned an Buglish victory into defout.
