THE STATE HOUSE MUDDLE. All Misunderstandings About to Be Amicably Settled. THE ARCHITECT'S STATEMENT- Bt. Francis' Total Abstinence Society the Federal - New Nebraska terprises, —~Proceedings | Court 1020 P Stieer, LixcoLy, controv LaxcoLy BUreau or tie Ovana Bee, } Jan, 28 between the r habita The so-called governor and the suprem tion rooms at the state house now seems to be in a fair way for amicable settlement. It is said, at least, that the board of public lands and buildings can act the matter without fear of wounding the feelings of either party to the muddle, Architect Wil cox is hiere, He sustains the governor in the matter and says that “squattor rights’ wore not unwarrented under the circumstances 1t 18 now given out that the board sent a rep- resentative to St Paul to examine into the matter, to prevent, if possivle, any unplens ant duties that might devolve upon it, and it seems to have been a wise move on its part, The petition of the supreme court was not uncortain in tone, and the complication was ray court oy peculiar in this: Governor Thayer had taken possession of the rooms in controversy, © and upon the assump tion that they were intended for the execu tive department. He had the word of the hitect and plans on file in the office of the mmissioner on public lands and buildings to guide him in his actiou. The supromo court based its elaim upon an alloged inten- tion of the original plans of the capitol build- ing, scaled by the legislative enactment, and altogether tho situation was particularly em- Darrassingd to the board. There was but »ne way to settle the controversy intelli- gently, and the alleged original plans, if any, svere called for, and upon them the board docided to base its findings. Lot ithe under stood that the word of the board of public lands und buildings is law in all such mat ters, But the whole story is told in the langige of Mr. Wilcox in_a ‘word: “The governor now _occupies the rooms intended for him in the original plans and specifi ations, They arc on file in the com missioner's office. While they are not the competitive plans, they are the plans origin ally adopted, and it was the ntention then and now to put the supreme court and the principal law library on tho third floor: Therc is an item or two in connection with the competitive plans that might lead w0 a slight misunderstanding about this matter, but it amounts to nothing her shall tako pleasure in-explaining the whole subject to all persons most interested in it In the architectural sense the governor is on the first story floor, and this would put the supreme court on the second floor. The en- tranco to the capitol building is on’ the bu ment floor, which is not the first floor, as generally understood, and this leads to con- fusion and possibly the misunderstanding that has existed. 'This is all that I have to say about the matter.” BT. FRANCIS' TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY. The regular monthly meeting of St. Fran cis’ Catholic Total Abstinence society was held yesterday in Fitzgerald's hall, and was well ‘attended by members and others in sympathy with the objects of the society. The Hon. Patrick Egan occupied the chair and strongly recommended the members to uso their united and individual_efforts in strengthening the organization. He thought one of the chief obstacles which withstood the success of the society at this time was the fact that sinco the transfer of the Rev. Father Kennedy, they had no sviritual di- rector, and suggested the advisibility of ap- pointing a new committee to wait on the ishop with the views of obtaining his ¢ operation and influence in aid of the socict and also that he may assign one of the clergy @s spiritual director, The chairmurn ap- pointed as such committes Charles McGlave, Jumes Farrell, L. S. Gillick, Miss Waters, and on special invitation the Hon. John Fitz- geruld expressed his pleasure to accompany the committee, notwithstanding he said that he was ot yet a member of this society, but would join at the mext meeting. Ho would lend all his influence to encourage the growth of this society. He had been an ardent counsellor and astrict practitioner of temperance since he was seven years old. Mr. McGlare, who has a long and prac- tical experience as a temperance advocate, vividly portrayed the sorrowful scones ho had witnessed in the temporal ruin, brought on by frequent relapses into this predomi- nant vice, but the ultimate rescue of the vic- tims by persevering in the renewal of their plodge. The chairman announced_that at future meetings there would be a diversity of en- tertainments apart from the regular routine business of the order, and for that purpose he would appoint a committee, consisting of Miss Flanagan, Miss Hughes and Mr. Con- nolly. ‘There was much applause and enthusiasm manifested when the seeretary road a long list of propositions for memborship, among whom were the Hon, P. O'Cassidy, Dr. O'Gorman, P. W. Tarpy, J. W. Mullen, Dennis Ryan, £. 0. Cassidy, Dave Fitzgor. ald, E. J. Flaherty, Neil McDermott and Jotiu Fitzgerald, of the League of the Cross, abtor which the meeting adjourned to meet February 10. THE PEDERAL COURTS. The case of Walthers vs The MeCormick Harvester company occupied Judge Dundy's timo to-day. 1t was given to the jury, how- ever, this afternoon, and judging from past precedents, a verdict will ‘be reached some time next Wednesduy. The judgment and verdict in the Samuel F. Paul vs Michael funkner ejectment case wus st aside and a new trial ordered. 1t will be remembered that this is the regular order in such cascs. It is snid that an arrest will be mado in this city to-morrow that will surprise the natives. Several charges have been made Against @ prominent citizen, and the chances are strong that the proof is in hand to make them stick, KEARNEY CONPORATIONS, The Kearney Pickling and Canning com- pany and the Kearncy Horse company filed for record articles of incorporation in the oftico of the secretary of state to-day. Article 2 recites that tho business of the eanning compuny shall be the preserving, canning_and pickling of fruits, vogetables, syrups, moats and food products, and also to perforin and carry on all other incidental in- terests found to be necessary or convenient in its management.

Lodge ot Sorrow” Established by the Elks of This Country. In compliance with an order issued several weeks ago by Exalted Grand Ruler Leech, all lodges of Elks in this country devoted one hour yesterday afternoon to memorial services in honor of the dead brothers. Omaha No. 39 made the cvent especially in- teresting and impressive. There was a large attendance of members and invited friends. Zxalted Ruler Hulott called the menting to order av 3:30 o'ciock, and on the platform with him sat General J. C. Cowin, eulogist of the day, and Dean Garduer, who presided as cheplain. Grand Deputy Iixulted Ruler H. W. Hyde occupied the station of esteemed leading knight, in the absence of Brother Miner, who is reported as being ill. “The ceremonies were very impressivo and boautiful, After appropridto responsos, ro- ferring to the work in hand from the various stations, Dean Gardner read n R i and offered prayer.

Sunday night a burglar entered the resi- dence of Mrs. Clark, 1512 Chicago streot, but was discoveaed and chased away before he had a chance to steal auything, It seems that the fellow first entered the cook’s sl ing apartment at the rear of the buildinz,and made a noise, which called the wouwan's at- tention to his presonce. She gave an elarm and the thiof took a header under the bed. A gentloman who happened to be making @ callthere at the tiwie, took matters in hand, pulldd Mr. Burglar out, gave him a few solid blows right from the sboulder, and then let hum go. Cowplaint is made that a number of petty ts have recently been committed i that y. The fellow had nerve enough to asis o codk whoo she first saw him for a 1v-cont oan, Ll Children Cry for Pitcher's Casteria. When Baby waa sick, we gave her Castoria.

The Paxton rotunda Sunday was alive with visitors, among whom were many back number politicians, as well as politicians of the prosent time. Among them was Brad Slaughter, the present clerk of the house in the legislature at Lincoln. Ha was inona flying visit, one of the objects of which was, of course, to look after his little boom for United States marshal. Mr. Slaughter has boeon looking for this little oMce he received the information thas Harrison had been elocted president. has fortified himself with a petition wh contains & number of names, which,togethor with tho assistance which _he is supposed to endered Senator Manderson is sup- ed to have made him solid for the position. Ho considers, however, that ho has some op position, and enumerates among those who like to wear his scalp,Jake Dew, of Te. cumsch, who was formerly a county clerk of Johnson ; William MeBrier, of Sterling, who is styled the old soldier candidate; Major Hastings, of Hastings, who is well known not less bocause of his connection with the escape of the murdel Mat Zimmern some time ago, at Kearney, through machinations of a certam attorney who w afterwards punished by the courts; Allen, Marshal Bicrbower's present_capable deputy, whom Slaughter considers his most formidable opponent. Mr. Slaughter says that Mr, Bierbower, the present incumbent, is not a candidate for reappointment. ‘The position is one in which the incumbent is paid by fees, the maximum allowed being £,000, The income, at present, owing to the cutling off of a certain class of cases from the United States courts, now fails to reach half that sum, but Slaughter wants it, not- withstanding. J. C. Swartl a member of the house from Columbus, was also a visitor, He is a farmeriiving a few miles from the town, and a member of the committees on county boundaries, fish culture and appointments, He has not yet been able to give vel attention to the work usually devolving upon such committecs, becauso that all-important subject of supmission las engrossed the at- tion of nearly ail the members. He is especially interested in the subject of fish- cuiture, ‘upon which he has some infor- mation, because in the vicinity of his town there are several ponds upon which in winter ice is raised, while in summer th aro utilized for tho raising of fisn. It wi the ice from these ponds which, last sum- broke the ice combine in this city, which en- over sinoe General He deavored to run up the price to $2.50 per hundred pounds. The proprictors of these pouds have overcome the difficulty they at one time had of keeping water in them, owing to the sandy nature of the bot tom, and are now hopeful for an excellent supply of fish for next season. The showing for lust year was oxcellent. were originally missioner, M, These ponds supplied by the fish com- Swartly considers that through the agency of the state association, fish raising in aska may become u great industry. Mr. Swartley is a democrat and uncompromisingly opposed to prohibition, and will vote agalust submission in the house. Mr. Braucht, the houso member from Clarkson in Colfax county, a stock raiser, also secn. He is 0pposod to prolubition because he is satistied it does not prohib John Novatny, county treasurer of Colfax, with residence at Schuyler, was_also on hand, on his way home from _Lincoln, where hie had paid to the state treasurer 82 the '87 taxes. He says that he has ¢ for that year 92 per cent of tho tax, which he considers, under the circumstances, a very good showing. Mr. Novatny is the gentleman who succeeded John La Pache, who, it will bs romembored left his bondsmen to pay up his deficits, which amounted to_about eight thousand dollars, this sum, however, was divided among so many bondsmen that none of them felt the duty of paying a very heavy one. The evening train brought in a number of other logislators, among them the stately Ruusom, of Nebraska City, whose chair is in the senate; Bill Canada, who hustied around with wonted activity; - Representa- tive Towle, of Niobrara, and Speaker Wat- son, of the house, who Secmed to bo greatly in demand by haif a dozen people at the same moment. This was_the penalty ho paid for the honors of speakership which had beon thrust upon him. Besides these Senator Ijams, Representa- tives Berlin and Snyder miugled in the swim. THE CASTLE IN THE AIR. Which the Boomoars Want on Jefferson Square. An air of quiet luxuriance and lassitude, in equal quantities, hung and about the cas- tlein the air of the Jefferson square boomers, in the Ware block yesterday. A Ber man made several visits there, but the utmost dibgence failed to deveiope anything startling or sub- stantial. The chamber of secret consulta- tion, room No. 23, was wpell littered up with scraps of lettors and secret documents, and pieces of Lone Star and Spear Head, while the atmosphere is still heavy with the fumes of cheap cigal There is every indication that some mighty transactions "have been wrought here, but this afternoon the chamber was painful! 1lent and di d. No, even Jim Creighton, who it is said is never happy now unless he is engaged here in dopioting the beauties of Jefferson square, or patroling the sacred precincts of the lot itself, failed to show up. The reporter, however, caught frequent glimpses of his graceful fizure as ho hobnobbed around Boyi's corner, button hol- ing everybody that passed. The keeper of the Jefferson Square Alaska Seal, custodian of the castle in the air, and Lord High Exe- cutioner, . W. McArdie was found at his desk in' the reception room, intently on- grossed in sticking clippings {rom Tuz BEE ina b ap book. “How's she going, my lord duke?” ven- tured the seribe, The Great Seal glanced up, and failing to recognize his caller he said: “Oh, lovely; we're sure to win—every- thing points that way.” ¢ “How muchof avote will it require to give us the hall on the square, lord " “Well, that's bard to say,” said he. “There’s 15,000 voters in the city, but it de- pends on which side has the rustiors to get out the votes, and I think we control the gang." “On a voluntary vote, then, we couldn't win,” “Hardly, but we ain't a goin’ to take no hances: we're out fo “Phe stuff” suggestingly interrupted Tae Bee, **Not exactly, but were out for the city hall on Jefferson square and we're goin' to get them,” “*Where is Mr, Furay!” *‘He's rustlin,’ 'l be back though soon and you can talk to him.” Here Tug Beg bid the seal keeper good day and rotired, “Nine times the space that measured day and night to morl man, he lay vanquished, thus quoted J. B. Furay to-day as he stopped to shake hands with a newspaper reporter. “‘What's that got to do with the city hall business " asked the news gatherer. “Two fold,”” auswered the Jeffersonian ex pounder. *In the first place, we may quote it *eight times the space,’ et¢., and_apply. it to Mr. Rosewater. It's only eight days, you know, until the clection. Perhaps you don't knowat, but the little learning I have ac quired T learned from Protestant schools, and there we were taught 1o quote poetry 150 learned of the beauties of poetry and art there that I am now able to make a~ practic able application of it and point out the artistic advantages of the Jefferson square site over the one on Farnam street.” A Bre reporter in conversation with a well known insurance man this afternoon in- quired what he thought about the probable location of the city hall. It should remain where 1t is beyond any doubt," said ne, spiritedly, “‘but I don't think citizens in tny position should bave any volce in the matter.” “Why nott" “Simply because I am not a taxpayer, don't own a dollar’'s worth of property iu the city, and it is an injustice to those who do."” “But I hardly think your class of citizens will bother themselves muoh about the com ing election,” *0h, don’t you fool yourself. Outof every ten mén who' vote for Jefferson square, about uine will be men who haven't a dollar's worth of intorest in the city. I know tiis to be true, from werking upon," e he Jury Disagreed. 8.

There are evidently two factions in the church, and one of them, led by Harwack, is saild to have attacked Bernstein, . Words of a violent nature passed between the parties, and it was alleged that the Hurwack faction fell on Bernstein, beating him and kicking him The jury disagreed after two hours' consid eration.

The City Hall Project Not Countes nance 1 by the Knights of Liabor. A rumor has been to the effect that the Knights of Labor were to meet and decide upon the site for the new city hall. All the available locations for a meeting of this kind to be held was visited by & reporter, but nothing of this character meeting of Thirteenth could be discerned, aside from a that body in their quarters on and Doulas streets, at_which nothing but matters pertaining to the order were dis- cussed, A member of the Knights of Labor, when questioned concerning the matter, re marked: “What have the Knights of Labor got to do with the city hall matter! It does not_con us asa_body, and individually we have our own opinion n in favor of Farnam street, while others that 1 know favor JofTorson square, but that is not a mat ter for the Knights of Labor to consider, and when you hear of a moeting of that kind'hav- ing been held, you may be sure it is a fraud. It would be taling interest in a_movement the people the boomers are| entir foreign to the order, and, in conse- quonce, we would not bo jnstitied in such work, We are organized in the interests of labo: we mect as a court to arbitrate our griovances, and our eve transaction must be in matters concerning labor which gives us enough to attend und look after without meddling with matters that do not concer) our order in any sense.” Vestibuled Trains to Washington, The only vestibuled trains to the na- tional capital ave those run via Balti- more and Ohio railrond from Chicago and Cincinnati.

On account of but few individuals putting in an appearance no meeting for the discus- sion of the city hall on was held at Metz' hall on South Thirteenth strect last night. It is stated that fully 90 per cent of the inhab- itants in that scction ave in favor of the Far- nam street site and will wield their nfluence on election day in that direction.
