THE OMAHA DAILY BEE . THURSTON'S CHICAGO RECORD. | How He Opposed Nebraska's Break For Harrison. SECONDED BY CHARLEY GREENE. He Nevertheless Bobs Up Seren and Claims Cre it Act That Rigntfally Belongs to His Colleagues. 1y for an Ro‘m Johnny's Nerve. Lixcovx, Neb, Feb. 24.—|Special to Tue Ber. |—The story that John M. Thurston swung the Nebraska delegation to the sup- vort of Harrison in the Chicago convention, is the subject of The first votes Harrison wot fr were cast by Delogates Bak nd Einsel Representatives Baker relates the stances under which he made the first br and his statementshows that Thurston u # most determined fight against it. “[ jeft home a Gresham man,” says Mr Baker, *‘but when I got to Chicago I found a magnificent 1ot of men representing Haarison and my sympathies were turned to him. We soon found that Thurston had traded off the whole delegation to s temporary chairmanship, but I could stand that for awhile. On Saturday [ told the boys 1 was going o vote for Harrison. Thurston and Charley Greene o after con siderable k 1 agree o v with them for that day, b no nomination would be mudc Monday morning 1 told the boys I going for Harrison, and I asked Greene, who was chairman of the deiegation, to nounce my vote, Heo said he wouldu't and I told him I would poll the delegat he didn't. T know how 1 wanted to ‘Thurston and Greeno we hai and tongs, and we had an seussion for an hour. After we had ¢ wn 1 offercd to vote with them_ for once more. After that ballot 1 siid he, 0o, would vote for Harrison. Charley angrily said he would not announce his vof and Einsel threatened to poll the delegation. The other fellows finally concluded we were in earnest. Thurston remarked: ‘Well, let's gather in the patronage before you vote, and he left the crowd in a rush It was ' quite cvident at that time that Har- rison was going to be nominated. Consider- ingall the circumstances, it is absurd for Mr. Thurston to claim the credit of hav swung tie delegation to Harrison,” Apropos the question raised as to the in- fluence ex-Senutor Saunders will have with the new administration, an animated cony sation between several preminent politicians this afternoon is in point. “I have it an unquestionable anthority that Governor Suunders went to John C. New at the Clicago convention and said be would not ask to control the federal patron age of Nebraska in the event of Gen eral Harrison's nomination and el tioh,” said one. “But he did not say he Svouldn’t ask for an office,” was added with @ significant look Y may talk all another, “but Saunders patronage if he wants to. were in the senate together. That was how their families became acquainted and led to the marriage of their childaen. Saunders is a level hoaded man. Harrison knows that and learned to respect him. In view of all these things, don't you think the president would rather have the advice of a man he knows than that of strangers? You can’t make me believe Saunders will not wield a great deal of influence with the new administration. He may not openly dictate the distribution of the spoils, but his whisper will be heard a long dis tance.” “1 don’t know much about Saunders’ in- fluence,” broke in a third, “'but I know that Russell Harrison has intimated thi he would like to have wie sign the old gentle- man’s petition for the internal collector- ship.” . “Speaking of young Harrison, to_change the subject,” remarked auother, *I would ot be surprised to see him bob us a_senator from the new state of Montana. His resi- dence, you kuow, has been at Helena for four or five years. He is interested in a big cattle ranch out there and now has full swing on that Helena paper. It gives him a ood deal of influence and prominence, and e is a clever, capable fellow. Just watch my guess, will you!” Here Charles Greene, query, said; “T'think you will fiud that the president will dlvide his favors between the two fac- tions in Nebraska. Another Prohibition Bill. LixcoLy, Neb., Feb, 25, —[Special to 'Tug Bee.]—Mr. Everett, of Burt, introduced a bill to-day to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, including ale, wine and beer. The bill is in substance s transcript of the lowa law and retams all the harsher features, including the provisions for summary closiug of buildings used for saloon purposes by injunction. anthor hardly intends to press the measure unless the sub. mission bill now before the supreme court should be declared unconstitutional. In that casc the radicals will muke every cffort to ush this bilt through or use it as a club to orce the doubtful members Lo support a new submission bill. The introduction of this measure is not the result of any concerted action on the part of the prohibition members, but is the product of the ingenious *little man from Burt,"who belicves in being on the safe side in this emergen Such a bill cannot pass the house in any contingency by at least a half dozen votes, as the republicau members do not feel them- solves pledgod to vote for any measure of this kind, and tho democrats will fight it to a wan, ridicule here n Nebraska considerab! circum ak, General cure his ted, and ieving On lo it. on if vot Allison you want to," said will _control the Harrison and he in response to a “Our Dick's" Message. LixcowLy, Neb., Feo. 25, —[Special to Tue Bee.]—*Our Dick” has a message he would like to have conveyed to his Omaba consti- wents. It is this: “Do your fighting at hot and don't handicap your representutives by briuging your quarrels to the legislature.” He has just received the resolution of the Omaha city council asking thav the deed of the high school grounds be made to city, and he expects a delegation from the board of education who want the title in the name of the school district. The city is ahead at present, as the bill in its inlerest. has passed the senate, and the original grant was in its favor. Hon. Charles Greene has arrived on the scene of action, aed says: ‘There are only two wavs in which the city can be deprived of the high school prop erty. One is by agrcement of the grautor and grantee. The other s by an act of the legislature trausferring the title and direct- ing the courts to sustain it. 1 was not anx ious for a fight, but I am as ready for it now a8 I ever will be.

A FAREWELL DEMONSTRATION, The City Gaily Honor—Se Decorated In His nades, Speeches, and an Enthusiastic Escort. The President.Elect. Isp1aNaroLis, Feb, 25.—Many buildings in the business portion of the city are gaily decorated with flags and bunting, while from every building floats the stars and stripes in nonor of the departure this afternoon of President-clect Harrison. Quite a number of country people have come to town to wit ness the departure of the general. Trunks and parcels have been leaving the house ever since 9 ock and by noon the family had about finished their packing and were ready for the jour- v. General Harris time was pretty well occupied in r g constant stream of people wiho came to say good-bye, At 10 o'clock the gene rived S, Quincy, president of ercial and Traveling Men's R ub, of Chi- cago,who called to present an elegant grinsack donated by the club. Quincy r presenting the handsome present, made a brief speech General Harrison feelingly responded and thanked the club for sheir support_and the kind remenbrance. During the morning some venerable colored wan of local celebrity sere- naded ral Har i his family with aunique and orig musical instrument, playing several p C airs As the hour of 2 o'clock approached the streots began to fill up and Pennsylvania venue was soon thronged with thousands 1xious to participate in the farewell d stration to the presic At 2 o'cl sharp Governor v and Mayor Denny drew up in front of the Harrison residence behind a pair of larze white horses drawing a handsome carriage. Geueral Harrison met them at the door and cordiaily shook hands. The ceremony was catirely informal. Gov- or Hovey said they had cowe to perform the very pleasant duty of escorting the gen- eral to the station on his eventful trip to Washington. A crowd of one hundred or so of people stood on the sidewalk and in the yard watching the acparture of the dis- tinguished party. Shortly General and Mrs. o' Harrison emerged from the house, preceded by the governor and mayor. The general occupied the first carriage with Governor Hovey and Mayor Denny, and Mrs. Harrison ad Mr. and Mrs. MeKee occupied the next arringe. A string of carriages and a thous- and or more people followed down Delaware street, The greatest enthusiasm prevailed along the route. In front of every residence were groups of people, who cheered enthusias- tically us the carriages drove by, the zeneral constantly tipping his hat and waving his hand farewell to some old friend whom he recognized. When Ohio strect was reached the throng was innumerable. Here the veterans of George H. Thomas post were in line, among them being General Lew Wal- lace and many other well know= men. They were accomy v a_military band, and as the gencral's carriage drove up th opened raunks and a cheer went up from a thousand people that was heard for many res. Krom this point to the station i 1 impenetrable throng. The buildings ck with people. At the intersection arket and DPennsylvania.streets the members of the legislature were drawn up in line and the carriages passed through the open files, the lawmakers checring lustily. They then fell n line and escorted the gen- eral to the station. It was 3 o'clock when the party reached the station, where a crowd of fully ten thou- sand awaited them. ‘The general and party were escorted to their car.” The president- elect presently appeared on the rear plat- formi, occompanied by Governor Hovey, who introduced him to the crowd and called for order, which, being partially secured, Gen- eral Harrison said : “My Good Friends and Neighbors: 1gan- not trust myself to put in words what I Teel at this time. Every kind thougnt that is in your minds, and every good wish that is in your hearts for me, finds its responsive wish fand thought in my mind and heart for each of you. Ilove this city; it has been my cherished home. Twice before I have left it to discharge public duties and return with gladness, as I hope to do again. is @ city on Whosé streets pompous displays of wealth are not seen. It is full of pleasant homes, and in these homes there is an unusual store of contentment. The mem- ory of your favor and kindness will abide with nie, and my strong desire to hold your respect and contidence will strengthen me in the discharge of my new and responsible du- ties. Let me say farewell to all my Indiana friends, For the public honors that have come to me I am their grateful debtor. They have made the debt so large that I can never discharge it. There is a great sense of lone liness in the discharge of high public duties, and the moment of decision is one of isolation, but there is one whose help comes even into the quiet chamber of judgment, and to His wise and unfailing guidance will 1look for dircction and safety. My family unite with me in grateful thanks for this cordial good-bye, and with me wish that these years of separation may be full of peace and happiness for each of you.” The speech was received with “cheers, Ay its conclusion the general re-entered the car and at 3:15 the train left Indianapolis amid great enthusiasm, Ricimoxn, Ind., Feb, 25, —~When Kuights. town was reached, where is located the sol- dicrs’ orphans’ home, the train stopped for a moment. A crowd of five or six hundred gathered around the rear platform and gave cheers for Harrison. Asthe cheers way, General Harrison said: iy fricnds, 1 thank you for this cordial gathering and demonstration. 1 can detain the train but a moment, and I only stopped at the request of the superintendent of the sol- diers' orphan home, so that the children might have au opportunity to see me, and that | might wish them the bright and pros- perous future which the sacrifices of their fatbers won for them.” Richmond was reached at5:02 p. m. The run from Indianapolis, sixty-eight miles, was made in one hour and forty-two minutes, in- cluding numerous stops, Fully four thou sand people assembled at the station and the crowd was very demonstrative, cheering at the top of their voices, while cannon boomed and whistles blew, making a din that was deafening. General and Mrs. Harrison ap- pearcd on the rear platform of their car and ere greeted by a mighty shout from the crowd, which was a very noisy vne. Finall when the tumult had” partially subsided, General Harrison spoke as follows : 1y friends, I huve so long had my home among you that | cannot but feel u sense of regret in leaviug the soil of Indizna. 1 go with a deep sense of inadequacy, but I am sure you will be patient with my mistakes, and that you will all give me your help as citizens, in my eflorts to promote the best interests of our people. 1 thank you for this cordial greeting." [Cheers. | As the train passed along the track out of the city it was accompanied by the screcch- ing of whistles and the boom of cannon. While the train halted a profusion of flowers were carried into the car sud presented to Mrs. Harrison. Gduoeral Passenger Agent Deering fitted out the entire party, from General Hurrison, 10 the colored porter who accompanies him 10 the white house, with tickets for the tri ul reguiar rates of fare, The gentlemen rej; resepting the press did the same us the otuors, sud, like the gentemen of old, **paid as they went." ‘Tue car, May Wood, was not victualled un til Richmond was reached, and the service rru\‘mud for the car of the Associated Press and its guests was drawn upon 10 aid in comforting the iuner man of its occu- pants.

Foraker d fout, “This s our next presi- dent.”” and General Harrison, bareheaded, bowed an acknowledgement to the cheering of the thousands as the train moved out. From Pigria to Urbana the train ran_very rapidly, reaching the latter point at 6:50 p. Here another large crowd welcomed the ssidential party, but the stop was sho time on dense darkness covered and prevented the occupants from judeing of the size of the crowds. At Westville the glare of a number of pine knot torches were flashed into the car win dows as the train dashed by. Corvsnrs, O..

Nearly the entire membership of ths legislature went down with the Foraker club, but were all lost sight of in the geacrul rush, It was the v tention to have several songs from a gleo club, aud also listen to a speech from Geu- eral Harrison, The former was almost en- tirely eliminated from the programme, and less than fifty persons heard anything the president-elect had to say. Peovle standing wittin ten feet of him could see his lips, move as if in the act of making a specch, and that was all There was a sore lack of management in the whole affair, und no_person is deserving of any credit for the manner in which the reception was carried out, except the entire mass, who were bent upon giving the presi dent-clect an ovation of the old_ time kind. As soon as the gencral left the platform the crowd began 1o grow less dense, though the train_was surrounded by people until it pulled out. ——e————— CLASPED IN HER ARMS, Mrs. McCaulley Asphyxiates Herself and Two Children. Cuicago, Feb. 25 —[Special Telegram to TAE Bee.]—The last act of a sensational drama took pluce here to-day. On December 24, 1887, & reporter for a Chicago mornng paper, called at the West Side residence of William McCaulley to ask an interview with that gentleman concerning a divorce suit which Mrs. McCaulley had just filed. The reporter’s ring was answered by Mrs. McCaulley uerself. She said her husband was at home, and the caller was conducted to the sitling_room, where Mr. McCaulley received the yisitor, and to ascer- tain his business. ‘The two retired to an adjoining & room - “and the interview was in progress _wben the door was suddenly burst open by the wife. Belore cither of the two men were aware of her purpose, she fired a revolver point blank at Her husband. The shot reached a vital part, and the victim aied without a word. Mrs. McCaulley’s frenzy continued for hours after the terrible deed. She raves like a maniac, and gloated over her bloody act, ex- pressing no remorse, yet protesting her love for him she had slain, It was his_infidelity which had goaded her to the awful tragedy, his alleged intimacy with her own sister. On the Tuesday following the tragedy the coroner sat upon the case. After hear- ing the testimony and listening to the prisoner’s story the jury discharged her, declaring her insane. But later an attempt was made_to get the grand jury to take up the case, McCaulley’s mnther coming on to urge an indictment. This attempt failed, as did an attempt to influence the disposition of the dead man’s estate. This morning it_was discover2d that dur- ing the night Mrs. McCaulley had killed her- seif and her two children. She was found in her room in bed firmly holding in her tecth a rubber tube, one end of which was at tached to the still flowing gas jet. The tube ran from the jet under the bed clothes which were drawn over the faces of Mrs. MeCaulley and the children. Asphyxiation was seen at a glance to be the cause of their death. Her children, a_boy three years and six months, and a girl one year and six months of age, were clasped in'‘each arm. The story of the 'trazedy was told by Mr. Furness whose house Mrs. McCaulley lived. “Mrs. McCaulley had been in the habit of coming down to breakfast ou time,” he said, “and when at 10 o'clock this morning she had not appeared, my wife naturally sup posed that something was wrong. Accord- v she went up stairs and called Mrs. McCaulley. No answer came, and smelling gasmy wife supposed that somethiug was wrong. She burst open the door and found the mother and children dead, iying in each other's embrace. There was a singularly peaceful cxpression on the fuces of the three, The bed clothing was pulled up'over their faces, and Mrs. Mc- Caulley had probably taken this precaution to prevent the failure of her plans. As soon as I saw the situation I notified the police,” ~Had Mrs. McCaultey intimated that intended to commit suicide No, not to my knowledge. Ever since she killed her husband she had been of a retiring melancholy disposition, Of late she had been ulmost querulous and peevish. But 1 didn’t suspect anytbing of this sort. Sune seemed much wrapped up in her children Mrs, McCaulloy has a brother in Brooklyn named Joseph Mackin, —— BANISHED (0 SiBERIA, A Naturalized Am-rcin Arrested by the Russian Authorities.
