Yesterday mornine Mrs, King arose bright and early. She told the attaches of the Jail that she had rested quite well during the night, and, aside from a s t heudach she felt in her usual health, She sat quietly in her cell during the forenoon after break- fast, and kept her eves the major portion of the time riveted on the iron gratiugs of the corridor. Shortly before noon she brooded slightly over her predicament, but the te that were in the recesses of her huzal eyes were gradually absorbed and she again assumed a nonchalant appearance. As is customary, religious service was held in the corridor of 'the building, and while it was being conducted the prepossessing form of Mrs. King posed in the doorway of her cell hefore the assemblage.

She was more restless duri Tate part of the afternoon, and when porter called she was not disposed to dilate on the affair. She informed one of the at tacl of the jail t she did not reully re gret the manner in which the affair termi- nated as regards herself and Harry, but again asser that she did not come here for that purpose. MR, SCOTT INTERVIEWED. How He Came (o0 Be So Closely Con- nected With the Affair. Mr. George Scott, who represents a large boot and shoe factory doing business in Rochester, N. Y., and who figures so promi- uently in this terrible tragedy, was spoken to yesterday afternoon by a reporter and a few interesting particulors elicited from that gen- tleman touching his connection in the King murder case. Mr. Scott most emphatically denies that he ever met Mrs. King No. 2 before he saw her in the office of the Paxton hotel on Saturday morning, Mrs. King “Q" route, while he cu Milwaukee road from BuYS “When Iarrived n Omaha, contrary to my usual custom, I walked up ta the hotel. I generally take the “bus.” When I entered the oftice of the Paxton I took up the pen to register, but noticing that a lady was imme- diately hehind me, I gave way to her; I don't suy she registored herself; possiv’y the clerk entered her name, I proceeded o my room and changed my cuffs and collar for” clean onos, and then stood debating n my own mind whether Ishould get shaved 'before I breakfasted. Idecided not to do so. I then proceeded to the breakfast room and took a seat nearto the entrance. The waitor who attended upon me was very slow and delayed getting my meal for nearly ten minutes, Just s he hud placed the dishés on the table I heard the first shot, and without a second of hesitation I rushed out, and ran up to the first floor where the murder occurred. It had all been done when I got there, and what little courtesics I afterwards showed the unfortunate woman were such as any man with a spark of humanity in his heart would display under the circumstances.s That's all I know about the affair, I would like to say now that I unwillingly ap- ear in connection with this deplorable mat- ler owing to what I can honestly call a va- riety of unfortunate circumstance, When [ was in St. Paul I intended leaving that place 80 28 to reach Omaha on Friday. 1 ost one clear day through missing a train. When I got to Sioux City my frieuds were anxious for me to stay over Sunday with them, but I insisted upon leaving so @8 to arrive in Omaha Saturday morning early, 50 as to do busin2ss, So you see [ came to be on hund at such an_inoppor- tune mowent. That wasn't all; because if I had rode to tho Paxton instead of walkmg | should have been away before Mrs, King. And then, to make mutters worse, | wasted what I now realize were precious moments, fooling about my toilet. And then again, 1f ruy appetite had not got the better of my de- sirc to improve my personal appearance, | wonld have been {n the barber shop when the shooting occurred. And then that blamed waiter keeping me so long—oh,well, it’s no use compluining now. But it puts me’ on record as being connected with the King murder, very much against my inclination, indeed.’ Mr. Scott is under “bonds of §1,000, and ke is considered as a very material witness by County Attorney Simoral. Mr. Scott now occupies room 165 at the Millard hotel, He left the Paxton house on Saturday evening, County Attorney Simeral was scen yester- afternoon at the Millard hotel. Mr. Sim eral had nothing to say about the murdoer further than this, that ou thoe 1st of Decen ber next the state would in all probability be reudy to proceed with the trial ‘1% it true, Mr. Simeral, that the prosecu tion of Mrs. King will be undertaken jointly hy the state and Attorneys Wooliworth, Thurston and Hall(" “I don't know nu{)}hlnx about the gontle- men you mention as baviug been retained for the prosecution beyond mere rumor.

The Mysterious Woman Who With Mrs, Beechl Cuicaco, Nov. 18.—[Special Telogram to Tur Ber, ] ~Interest in the King murder has increased here to-day, but not a_great deal luabke information has yet developed in tion with it. Your correspondent allod again to-day upon Miss Ada, the mys- lous young lndy who is now occupying the Cass street apartments of the ‘“Beech lers.” This young lady, by the way, bears a most striking resemblance to Mrs, leach ler's portrait, which stands in one corner of the room, with the exception of the mouth, but strenuously dey v rolationship. Ste asscrts most positively that sho is a book kecper in a store down town: that about three weeks ago she advertised for apart- ments, and that Mrs. Beechlor answered her advertisoment. Deing pleased with the lo cation, she took up her residonce there, and beingalone with Mrs. Beechler, with the exception of the servant girl, naturally they became quite confidential, Mrs. Beechler told her that the reason she answered the tent was that hoer husband had er about s week before without means, and being at a loss for subsistence had taken this chane to lighten her expenses. Miss Ada is markably keen young woman, and has 8o far paflled the efforts of all reporters to learn her name or antceedents. Her secretiveness sheexplains by saying that she does not de- sive to become mixed up n the case m any mauner. She scems wonderfully familiar with Mrs, Becehler's story, and expresses belief that she and King~ were married—at jeast by a common law marriage. The only time she appeared in the slightest degree emburrassed was when | suddenly asked her how it was, inspealking of King or Becchier, that she referred to him so familiarly as “Harry,? She was slightly staggered, and Nesitated a mowent before replying that it was on account of hearing Mrs. Beechler spealc of him 80 often, and always that way. Most positively she reiterated that she her- self had nevor seen the man, aud had never met Mrs. Beechler beford before coming to the Cass street house. Talking in a gencral way about the murderess, she said ; “Mrs. Beechler is of a very gentle, lova- ble nature, and exceedingly ladylike 'in her deportwment. She is of home habits and had o callers of any description. Since 1 came liere we have spent the evenings at home by the fire together, sowing and chatting. She hus only been out twice of an_evening since 1 Lave been with hier, Once she went with me to thetheater, and last Monday night she went to see ‘Nudjy.' " Nothing could induce Miss Ada to tell who her escort was, but carcful investigation clsewhere leads to the beiief that Mrs. Beechler went that night to **Nadjy” with Henry W, KKing —not tho murdered maz, nor his tather—but o man of the same name, a young coal merchant at 252 Nlinois street, who boards at 827 Chicago avenue. Mr. King was found at the Union club by the reporter. He is a rather hand- some young mau, with a large, black mous- tache, prematurely touched with white, He instantly denied having visited the theater in Mrs. Beceller's company at any time, but he was visibly up said that he knew Mrs, Beechler well, had often seen her, and had been with her tor the last time on Wednesday night. She was then greatly ated about Harry King's marriage in Omaha. Asked whether he had been intro- duced to her by the desd man, he declined to reply, but said that he seldom saw Harry King, @ad, although he knew: him well, be had not mét him in six months. “Did Mrs, Boechler claim to you that she was Harry King's wife “She always did. She said she was mar- ried to him by a common law marriage.” pouDid she throuten him when you last saw her ' “No, but she tressed.” He manifested reluctauce further on the case. — AN ATTORNEY'S STORY. What He Knows of Young King and the Beechler Woman, Cuicaco, Nov. 18.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—According to the story told by Attorney Johnsen, who, it is said, has been employed by King, sr.; to make settlements of several of Ha scrapes, the young man became acquainted with the Beechler woman about two and a half years ago. He said they lived in Quincy some time, when they were seprrated through the influence of Mr. King, sr. dohuson added: ‘‘Harry, T am certain, never had any intention of marrying the girl. She went to Cleveland to ses her folks, and the first person she met when she returned was Harry. The result was that their old relations were renewed and they started life in a North Side flat. A month ago Harry wus sent to Omala. Mean- while he had become betrothed to Miss v.

But she hadbeen to see him and had talied to hin of going back to Cievelaud and ')ek'uunm{]u good girl. In the gooduess of his heart he believed her. She turned from her interview with him to take an early train for Omaha. As for her talk about bigamy, that is nonscuse. The boy had no intention of wurrying her. He has written to me four or five times denying any thought of marriage, und I was reading one of the let- ters when I got the news of the murder.' The Father's Stoi Curcaao, Nov, 18.—[Special Telegraw to Tue Bre,|—Mr. King, sr., when asked about the interview the woman had with him, said that when he was in Omaba a fow days ago Harry told him he had some complications with & woman in Chicago which he was anx- ious to have gotten out of the way shoit, that he had been keeping a woman herc as a wmistress. He denied having made any engagement to marry her, and Mr. King put the mat in a lawyer's hands. ~ Friday morning she alled at the office and demanded to know when Harry would be in Chicago. He told her he did not know. She said sho was going to Cleveland on the evening train and would be back the forepart of next weel, and then wanted to see the young man. This, Mr. King claimed, was substantially all the conversation between th Nothing was said to him about the lawyer's story of the womun promising to be good, ete. A local paper asserts that it is understood, though not from Mr. King, that the sum of $1,500 was paid to the Heechler woman at the inter- view Friday, and that in consideration thereof she signed a paper relinquishing all claims of every kind on Harry King, jr.

The Remains of the Late Henry W. King Sent to Chicago. The funeral of the lato Henry took place yesterday afternoon from the undertaking rooms of Drexol & Maul. The remains were enclosed in a magnificent cas. ket of red cedar, with copper lining cased in black brondcloth and silver tips. They looked as if in repose, not a single feature Deing disturbed. They reposed upon a bed of satin and were robed in a suit of black. The hands were crossed upon the breast. Muny of the most intimate friends of the decensed took a farewell look at the remains, after which the casket was borne totho Tiearse by pall bearers as follows, selected from among the employes of the house of Browning, King & Co., which the deccascd had established ! C. O. Rinehart, I, Mason, J. Benson, C. W. Jean, W. Canfield, C. F. Hureman and N. W, Nicholas. Just before leaving the morgue, a most beautiful_cluster of red and Lafayefte roses, oxpressive and imposing, was placed upon the casket of the deceased. This token of all that had been contributed, alone was allowed to_appear upon the case, bocause it was the votive offering of the distracted wife, who at Intervals only scemed capable of realizing the extent of her bereavement. The romains were borne to the B. & M. depot, whither they were attended by a large nuwber of the leading merchants of Omaha who had learned to appreciate the personal aualities and business ability of the de- coased Afts W. King the remains had baen placed upon the train at the depot, Mrs. King, the widow of the deceased, was escorted to the place b, Mr. Wilcox, the manager of the house in this city of Browning, King & Co., and Mr. and Mys. James Snyder, the latter being a cousin of the widow. Mrs. King was dressed in mourning. She vas supported by Mrs. Snyder and Mr. Wil- cox. She moved with the unconscious grace of a queen, her beautiful face losing little of its attractiveness through the heavy crepe which veiled it, or the tear-dimmed eyes which shoue through the sombre covering. A 8ho was entering the oar sh burst into ed every heart, It wasa lament for her murdered husband and a wail against the exaction of her friends who had not permitted her to gaze upon his features. In the car she and Mrs. Snyder were led to the stateroom. There, before the starting of the train, overything was done to distract the bezutiful lady's’ attention, but without avail. At times she was hysterical, but even when not giving expréssion o uncon- trollable emotion, there was an expression of grief upon her beautiful features which was painful to behold. She seemed perfectly oblivious of what was transpiring around higr, and her story and listlessness brought tears to many eyes. "I'he train started without perceptible jar, and before anybody on it was aware of the fact the great line of cars were movingz in funeral order with the remains of Henry King, jr., on to Chicago, Lew Hill, the most intimate friend of tho deceased in Omaha, was one of the escorts of the remains to Chicago. ——— ytien Republic Confiscate: Rk, Nov. 13.—The Haytien legation received this information: ‘“Phe prize court of Port-au-Prince, after'a trial, has condemned the American steamer, Haytien Republic, to confiscation for violting the blociade of the port of St. Marc and for act- wely participating in the vebellion of the northern districts of Hayti.

AN INCREASE QF TEN THOUSAND, The Young Voters Coming, Too—The Railroads Get in Some Pine Work ~Democratic Dey Their Protege. Back to the Fold, Drs Motrves, fa., Nov, 15 1to Tire Bes,|—The ofticial election returns are not all in yet, but the result, from semi-official sources, is known to a cortainty. The mbjority for Harrison 500, and may foot up to 31,000, gain of over 11,000 in four years, and indi cates that the republican party is gradually swinging back to her old timo majorities, A glance at the returns from each precinct ahows that the gain has beon general and uniform all over the stal with the excop tion of the counties bordering on the Missis sippi and a few interior counties lilke Car rolland Crawford, largely populated with foreigners. The gain does not come from the return of the Germans and others driven from the party on account of prohi bition, but is chiefly made up of young voters and old time groenbackers, who have come back to the party on account of the bold stand it has taken on the corporation ques- tion. Two § e will roach This ears azo the union labor—which is the greenback party under a new name- polled 15,000 vo nd the returns from the recent electiofdo not indicate a vote this year of more than 9,000. The 6,000 votes un- accounted for were undoubtedly given to Harrison, as his inoreased majoritios in strong union labor counties will prove. In Cass county, for instance, there is an in crease of nearly 500 in the republican ma- jority and acorresponding decreass n the union labor vote. In Davis, which formerly gavean opposition majority of over 1,000, General Weaver's majority is less than 600, and Cloveland's loss than 300 In Mahaska, where the union labor party for several years polled from 1,000 to 1,500 votes, and where the combined opposition vote nearly equaled the republican, the vote bas fallen to less than 300, and the republican majority increased to nearly 1,00, In Dallas, another county, where the greenbackers have polled as high s 1,700 votes, and in combination with the democrats haye reduced the republican ma- Jority to less than one hundred, the party ha disbanded and the republ n ity has swung back toits old time figures.” In Polk counly which has often given a vote of 1,000 or more to straight groen- Back candidates, notwithstanding it is the home of K. H. Gillette, one of the most popular leuders, and editor of the state organ, the party could scarcely master 150 votes for Streeter, and the republican gains were surprisingly’ large, footing up on the national ticket to almost 1,700. In Dubuque county, where the tmion labor party devel- oped s gueatest strength, and soriously threatened the supremacy of the democratic © party with its ‘more than 3,000 mujori over the re- publicans, the voto for Streeter will not exceed 500, and may not be over 300. There the voters seem o have gono back to the democrats, for that party seems to have slightly increased their old-time majority. New Wine township, in Dubuque count may justly claim thes ban s the most in- tensely democratic stronghold in the state, if not in'tho whole deuntry. It 1s reported as giving 142 votes for Cleveland and uot a sin- &le one for Havrison. RACE BETWEEN DEY AND MAHL The closest vote on state officers ever known in this statd is between Dey and Makin for raiivoud. commissioner. For a week after election the returns showed a ma- jority for Mahin of from 100 to 2,000, but cor- rocted and semiofticial returns roceived in tho past few days indicate that Dey will have a_ majority of from 200 to 500 Errors in the transmission of fig- ur may stll ele Mahin, but it is hardly probuble. So far the official fig- ures by the secretary of state show a smail majority for Dey, and the fourteen uare- ported counties can hardly increase the esti- mates sufficiently to put Mahin in the lead. The majorities rolled up for Dey in the river counties was simply phenomenal. Com- mencing at Keokuk, Lee county gives Dey 1,050, Des Moines 1,350, Muscatine 800, Scott 50, Clinton 1,900, Jackson 1,150, Dubuque 1528, Clayton 830 and Allamaikee 160, making over 14,000 in these counties. Mahin was also cut heavily in-every railroad center. In this (Polk) county he ran 1,500 benind Har- rison, and in Linn county, although Harrison carries the county by over %00, Dey carries the county by 640. ‘Thisis no doubt largely due to the active purticipation in politics of the general officers-of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad, who, it is un- derstood, are very bitter against Mabin, as well as Smith ‘and Campbell, The ‘fine Italian hand of Judge Hubbard, of the Northwestern, whose home is at Cedar Rapids, may also be seen in this vote. The northwestern lobbyist was equally successful atother points along his road. Wright county, for instance, in which Bagie ve, o division station of this hne, is situ- atued, cuts Harrison's magnificent majority of 900 down to 173 for Mahin. Fort Dodge, another railroad town, also boomed Dey at the expense of Mahin, for which Hon. J. ¥. Duncombe, the Illinois Central attorney, is undoubtediy responsible. The city gave Harrison niue majority, but Dey carries it by over 300. And thus it goes in every rail- road conter in the state.- But the railroads alone were not able to elect Dey. Hundrods of anti-monopolists, fearing for the success of Smith “and Campbell, traded votes for for votes for these candidutes, thus 1g them an immense majority, approxi- mating 75,000, The effort of Judgze Hubbard to elact Wills resulted in a sigual and over- whelming failure. His pet candidate runs behind Claveland in every county in the state, oxcept # few vailroad centers, from 100 to 1,000, and is beaten outof sight.” Campbeil's majority will reach 60,00) over Wells, and may touch 70,000, while Smith’s s even greater, THE DEMOCRACY REFORMING. The democratic party in this state has_de cided to go into the reform business.

The new Young Men's Christian associ tion building stands in a most commanding position at the corner of xteenth and Douglas strects. The site is admirably chosen, being elevated most advantageously. In addition to this its location can be de- scribed as thoroughly central, The building is & most clegant specimen of what may be described as the Romanesque, with a touch of the Gothic here and there, introduced without interference with the general harmony of the design. When it is known that the structure covers an area of ground 132 fect front by G2 feet deep, some idea can be formed of the imposing dimen- sions of the various internal divisions. The main en trance is on Sixteenth street and ac- cess is gained by means of a splendidiy con- structe d Gothic entrance with double swing doors, that lead immecdiately to a flight of stairs, broad in the proportions and of a pitch that makes travel up them exceedingly pleas- ant. Reaching the first platform,called the sec- ond story, to the left is found the lecture hall, B0x44, where prayer meetings, lectures, cte,, will be held; at the west end of the room 18 a platfor. for the speakers, and upon it is found an excellent organ used at the various servi Adjoining this room are found the committee rooms, 30x10, used exclusively by the board of directors, Turuing to the right, entrance is gained to & suite of rooms most elegant in construction and finish and em- bracing reception and reading rooms, two parlors and a library. This suite of apart ments are all connected. By this plan the Y. M. C. A, are in possession of rooms for the entertainment of their friends excelled by no club house in Omaha. The measure- ments are as follows: Regeption room 24 reading room 35x44, No, 1 parlor 18x18, No. 2 parlor 18x17, library 53x18. The division lines Dbetyeen the various rooms are marked - by tastefully selected ‘‘por- tieres,” and appropriately hung, adding much to the ensemble of the surroundings. Here are also found cloak check rooms and al oftices, The lighting of these rooms is ample, An abundance of daylight 18 sccured by souie fifteen large windows, and at night gas will be used and aistributed by means of twelve six-branch brass and lacquered chundel ot a tasteful design. On the third floor are found chess rooms, lavatories and a very spacious concert room, #2xp3, capable of seating 600 people. On this Hoor the gym- nasium superintendent has his office, a bath rooms are placed very advanta 3 to the gymnasium. The latter contain two tub rooms and & large tiled necdle bath room with nine small sprays and one large ater douche, The tiles in the spray room are of the most expensive character und cau- not failto be exceedmgly pleasant to the unshod bather's fe The fourth floor contains the gymnasinm proper, und the varions lockees, 500 in num- ber, that will be used by the members of Prof. (iwathmey's classcs, The physical de- partment of the association's work will re- ceive speoial attention. To that end a por- fectly fitted up apartment Las been arranged. The gymuasium is 37x55 in_sie, and it has a galiery built uround it that may be util ized for the accommodation of visitors upon exhibition nights, but is desigued specially as a race track. The track is laid with & pad ding of oakum covered with felt that dead ens the sound of pacing pedestrians, and it takes exuctly thirty-two laps to make one mile. The apparatus in the gymnasium in- cludes ten standard chest weights, buck and vaulting lorse, parallol, overhead, horizontal, vaulting and chest bars, abdominal mat and sternum elevator, lat t expande wrist inercostal, rowin iine, und thigh d¢ lorizonal wrist roller, flying and trav 3 , hitch and kick, medi cine ball, two st bags, paddle machine, two bufalo home trainers, neck machine, set Jumping sgandards, knotted rope and ladders, Split hundfe glant, speing board, mats, wands, Indian eluws und dumb bells, ete. © It will be easily seen that the equipment of this department is as nearly complete us it 18 possible to have i, The tifth tioor hus a variety of class roows, 10x12, which will be used for educationa purposes.
