A CASE OF MARITAL MISERY. Tho Unhappy Domestic Life- of a Hawkeoye State Bello. PERSECUTED BY HER HUSBAND. After Their Separation Ho Seeks Her Out and Kidnaps Her Two Child- ren—Capital City News and Notes. LINCOLN BUREAU OF Tm OMATIA Bem, 102 P Stueet, } Laxcory, April 10, Five or six years ago Jonn Mclatyre stood 8% the marriage altar in one of the beautiful rural towns of lowa and promisod to love, cherish and honor & comely maiden, rich in everthing calculated to make home attractive and her husband happy. It scems that Mcln- tyre, too, stood well, so well that he was honored with a seat in the legislature of that state. All went well for a time. Husband and wife were happy. In due time two chil- dren were born to them; and the tes of mar- riage ought to have been cemented more closely than ever. The reverss, howover, proved to be the case. The demon, jealousy, took possession of the husband, and he be- came altogether too playful, knocking his wife down without provocation, and othel * wise manltroating her. This tho wife and mother stood until forbearance ceased to be a virtuo, and during the abseace of her husband, one day nearly @ year ago, she quictly took her children and loft him, coming to Lincoln where she has since lived. During the first two or throe months she did sewing for a living. Subsequently, however, she sccured a position in New- man's store, where she has done work, and won the estecm o and the confidence of her employer, Mclntyre felt secure from oncros from her husband, for she left no clue as to where she was going when she left him, and has abstained from correspondence with nearly all of her lowa friends. But, in some way, Melntyro got track of the whereabouts of his wife, aud he camo to Lincoln last Tuesday, not in search of her, but in scarch of his children, and he located them at the home of one of Mrs. McIntyre's friends, who lives three miles south of the city. He 108t no time when he was sure of their iden- tity, but played the Charley Ross act and Ieft'for Towa with them Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Mclntyre was well nigh distracted when she heard that he had secured posses- sion of the children, Acting upon the ad- vice of friends here she consulted attorneys, and has brought suit for divorce and the care and custody of the children, So the matter will be tested in the courts, The children will be taken by officers of the law if they can bo found. The facts of this story have Just beeome known, Supreme Court Proceedings. The following cases were continued: Kir- H. dall vs Shorey; State ex rel Satterlee vs . In the case of the State ex rel Evans vs Phillips, a peremptory writ was awarded. In the case of Dunham vs Courtnay, the referce's report was confirmed nud judgment given to the plaintift, In the following cases rehearing was de- nied: Shufeidt vs Gaudy; Carmichael vs Dolan; Child vs Baker;' King Bros, vs, Juckson; Stephenson vs Ravenscroft; Holt county and Konk vs Tooth. The motion was sustained in the case of Veith vs Howard, except as to the abstract. Court adjourned to Thursday, May 2, at 1:30 o'clock, for the purpose of pronouncing Judgments only, Wants Damages for False Arrest, On the 3d day of March a forged checic ‘was passed in this city whereby Mr. Charles S. Jones was swindlod out of the sum of $10. The injury done to Mr. Jones' feelings was. more serious that that sustained by cketbook, and he sent Detective Pound on he track of the forger. This officer ar- rested Mr. Peter Worthington at some point in Iowa, He was brought to this ci i was at once released unon Sones' declaration thet e was not the man wanted. Then a brother by the name of Sam was arrested and tried for the offense, but was acquittod. This happened in the latter part of March, and now Mr. Peter Worthington comes back Bt Messrs. Pound and Jones with a suit, which was begun in the United States court to-day, for $5,000 damages for false arrest. Celestial Intatuation. The father of the girls, whose infatuation for a couple of hard looking Chinamen has brought them into notoriety, was in the cap- jtal city to-day. His name is George ndrews, and his home is Omaha, From ll’x‘:ll the story of the escapade was learned to-day The girls' names are Mattie and Minnie, the former being twenty-four years old and the latter eighteen. Neither is regarded of of first class character and, last January, the younger was arrested in'a joint in Oinaha, After that both girls thought tney could male fame and fortune on the stage, and en- tered the chorus of a company which was playing “A Dark Secret.” The company jeft Omaha all right, but went to picces be- fore it had gonoe far, and the girls went back %o the company of the Chinamen. Their parents supposod, all the time, that the girls were with the theatrical troupe, though they had not boen ignorant of their doings previ- ous to that time. The girls came to Lincoln and put up ai the Depot hotel. From there they went to a laundry on N street. They stayed here a day or so and then went to 832 North Twelfth streel By this time the officers of the city were aftor them, but they departed Wednosday Just in ume to escape _capture. They went, s 1t bus been found since, to the laundry &gain and spent the night there, buta search on the following day failed to reveal them, and it is not yet known where they are. The Chinaman, Fong, whom the young girl wanwd to marry has skipped for parts unknown. The father has sworn out a war- rant_for the girl and Fong, on the charge of fornication, and the police are still looking for them and will probably find them within 8 day or as it is quite certain they have not left the eity. It has been found that when the girl gave the county judge the ad- dress in Or she claimed was that of her father ly gave the address of & Chinese laundry, 1220 Harney street. Pointed Oklahomaward.

When the hearing of evi- dence closed Judge Groff informed he attor- ys that they must complote their argu- monts, giving two speeches to each side, within five hours, Rather than to be limited they agreed to submit the case without ar- gument, and it was given to the jury. The jury soon returned with a verdict of acquittal Volmer shot and killed a man named nis Quinlan, on the night of May 15, at Mueller's beer garden. The case was on trial two days before Judge Groff. It was the second trial. Last fail Volmer was tried and convicted by the jury. He re- ceived a twenty years’ sentence in the peni- tentiary. He got unew trial, aud now he breathes the air of freedom.

Thursday, Judge Savage, who represents the defendant, demanded the right to make allenges of jurors as obtained in itorial days, when nine men consti- wted a full jury, and when the law allowed cach side one-third as many preempto challenges as tho number of jurors. H claimed that the increase to twelve had not changed the rule of challenges, but dJudge Hopewell rofused to make a decision which would change the estabhished custom. Bofore offeriug evidence, Mr. Miller's at- torneys asked the court for an order hold- ing that the burden of proof, for the reason that malice did not exist] in the publica- tions in question, rested wholly with the defendant. Judge Hovewell refused to grant the re- quest, stating, in_substance, that the plain- tff had been criticised as a public officer; that in his petition, he alleged libel, and asked damaves in the sum of §25.000 there- fore it ed Wwith him to prove that the publications were fulse and with the jury to determine whether or not malice was the moive of such publications. As the point had nev er been raised before, Judge Hopewell o the statement of the plamtifi's attornc that his ruling ended the case 8o far as they were concerned, asked that he be granted until yesterday to examine the authorities before scttling the question, Whon court convened his honor said that ho had failed to find anything which would cause him to chango his opinion. The de fendand’s answer to plaintifl’'s potition de- nies that ho had any malice, therefora the plaintiff said the judge, *“must first introduce testimony to prove the falsity of this claim. To this ruling, Miller's lawyers took ex- coptions, simply’ introduced their petition and rested The defendant’s attorney _thereupon moved that the jury be instructed to return a verdict for their client. ‘The plaintiffs entered an objection, but the motion was sustained, The instructions were given accordingly, and the jury re- turned its verdict for the defendaut, “The plaintiff at once filed a motion for a new trial, alleging s his grounds that the court improperly instructed” the jury, re- fused to properly instruct; also an exception of the ruling throwing the burden of proof on the plaintiff, William O.

BishopO'Connor's Pastoral Suggest ing Prayer for Their Enjoyment. THE CENTENNIAL INAUGURATION A Menace to Our Institution Which Calls for a Serious and Prayer- ful Observance of the Grand Occasion. Bishop O'Connor's Pastoral. To the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of Omaha—Dear Brethren: On the 30th of this month the people of this country will celebrate the centennial of the imauguration of the first president of the United States. On that day, besides the civil demonstra- tions in which they will take part, and which, no doubt, will be worthy of the great occasion, they will assemble in their respective places of worship to thank God for the loving providence with which he has watched ower us, since we becamo a nation, and to invoke his blessing on our in- stitutions in the future. There is, indecd, much for which, on that day, we should feel grateful to the giver of all good. Whilst yet living in weak and scattered colonies, he enabled us to throw off a yoke that had be- come intolerable. He gave us a vast domain, safe from foreign aggression and abounding in cverything that goes to make a nation rich and powerful. He has sent us from abroad millions of toilers to cut highways through ait, to clear its forests, to break its prairies, to open its mines, build its facto- ries, devolop all its resources, and swell its population to the seventy millions that now dwell here. He gave, and has preserved to us, civil and religious liberty, one of his best &ifts to man, and given it in a degree un- known in other times and in other lanas.- He has enkindled in the hearts ot our citizens, whether native or foreign born, a patriotism that makes them ready for any and every sacrifice 1o uphold our institutions and defend the integrity of our territ ory. Once, only, . our history, has domesti o peace been disturbed within our borders, but the good results that followed the disor- der that time have fully compensated for the ovils that attended it. For these and count- less other blessings bestowed on us dur- ing a century of self-government, we should return heartfelt thanks ou the great festival we are about to celebrate. And whilst doing o, let us not fail to pray that the favors vouchsafed to us in the past may be continued to those who are to come after us. We live in no apprehension of immediate danger to the republic, and yet there aro vis- ible around us certain indications of trouble to come, that cause no little anxicty to thoughtful lovers of their country. The pmorican home s, "thank” God, atill christfin and pure, but family discipline has been gr relaxed amongst us of late years. Few children are now trained to hab- its of traint or obedier The great majority of them are allowed to come and go us they please, to read all sorts of lite ture, to associate with whom they pl “This is not the way to make the young be good christians or good citizens, or to pro pare them for the great struggles they will have to make, or the dangers they must en- counter, in after life. An inordinate desire of gain is fast taking possession of all classes of the community. It is not yet the sordid passion of the miser, but it will soon become such, if not re- strained. It is turning men’s minds and af- fections from higher and better things, to what ministers to mere sensual enjoyment. We all know the power of money at our elections, in our legislatures, in our munici- pal bodies, and, alas! even in our courts of justice. Money, not votes, now clects our public oMcials, from the highest to the low. est. Without it even just and necessery legislation cannot be secured. ‘I'he desire of it is banding the rich together to oppress the voor, and enkindling iv the hearts of the poor jealously and hatred of the ricn. How is all this to end? Badly, beyond doubt, un- less this questof gain be kept within due bounds. Ior, “many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thercof has been their ruin,” And “they that will bo- come rich, fall into snares of the devil, and into many unprofitable and Lurtful desircs. which drown men in destruction and per- dition.” Our dangerous classes are on the increase, Our tramps, alone, now form an army of evil-doers most danizerous to the peace of the community in times of public disturbance, There is ‘another army, which I shall not name, more numerous than they, more intel- ligent, more influential, which, if one-half we hear of it be true, is the greatest apos- tolate of libertinism ever seen in this or any other land. Our labor associations, though not o be classed with such men as these, may, at_any time, under the inspiration of demagogues, bring the trade and business of the country into serious confusion, and thus open the way to still greater evils, ‘We are a christian people. We live under laws dictated by a christian civilization. In point of morality, we compare favorably with the people of any other country. Yet unbelief is becoming provalent amongst us Pantheism, in ene form or other, agnosti- cism and the shallow, vulgar infidelity of the French encyelopedists, are making very noticeable inroads on all classes of the com munity, Comparatively few, as yet, antag- onize christiunity, still fewer hate it, but too many lost faith in it. Infidel literature has a circulation in this country, only a little less than that reached by works of fiction, and thousands of well-dressed, well-to-do people, in all our cities, pay their dol throng to hear shal quins | against truths held sacred by their fathers, A lady who moyes in the most fashionable circles, in one of our eastern cities, told me Jthere was no young lady, or young married lady, of her acquaintance who be lieved in christianity. One of the chief causes of this, and of many other growing evils in this couniry, is the ‘neglect of religious training in our schools. Not receiving it in our schools, v few of them will, or can, receive it clséwhere. The great majority' of parents are unablc or unwilling o give it to them, and the *unday schools can do but little to supply for their neglect in this matter, Tho consequence is that our children are grow- ing up without any knowledge of even the fundamental christian doctrines, and with- out the convictions and virtuous habits based on christian teaching. The unsec- tarian morality which some people suppose can be taught in the public schools is an un- thinkable abstraction. It should ignore every revealed teuth, for there is no truth of rovelation that is not denied, or questioned by some scct, or, at least, by doists, athelsts or Jews, all of whom have a right to send their children to the public schools. A tran- scendental morality of this sort would have less effect in restraining the passions than of ancient ormodern paganism. It would exclude every motive, every correct idea of auty in life, and would proclaim “gate ajar’’ for all in life to come, If a belief in christianity, and in the sanctions it makes known to us, fails to keep the great majority of men in the right way, what would become of a peo- ple who had lost all faith in botht Material prosperity alone cannot make a nation happy or great. It 1s often the fore- runner of its downfall. Sodom and Gomor- rha were “as a paradise of God,” when firo and brimstone rained upon them from heaven. No, “it is justice that elevateth a nation, aud sin that maketh a peopie miser- able.”’ “Unless the Lord keep the city, they labor in vaiu that keep it.” God has often sent famine and pestilence and the sword to chastise and destroy nations that had for- ken him, and be will do so again. ‘‘He that recedes from theg shall perish.” “Woe to the sinful nation, & people laden with in- iquity, 8 wicked seéd, ungracious children; Ahoy have farsnken'the ‘Tord, they have blasphemed the Holy one of Israel, they have gone uway backward. * * Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire, your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by encmies,” Kyery nation carries within itself elements of decay sud dissolution, which, if not held by an overruling providence, would bring it to utter ruin. And who that such forces may not now be at work even here in the United States! What has been, may be, If, for instance, within our memory,sectionsl 1nterests and sectional prejudices were able to precipitate urnn us & rebellion that threatened to wrest from us the fairest portion of our territory, why cars b PRI AT A e SR .

And if another ro- bellion were to receive trom Kuropean powers the aid they Kad intended, but do- layed too long to give to that of the southern statos, would we have no fear for the rosult! United amongst ourselves, we might,indeed, defy any combination foreign powers might malko against us. But, if they come as allies of a new South, or of New England, or of the states on tho Pacifio coast, against tho contral governmeut, couid we foel quito sure to hold any one of these sections in the union. But a far more imminoAt danger than this lies in our presidential and state elect ions, Our great political partios are now pretty ovenly balanced. Their majorities in the two last_presidential elections wero very small. Neither party has confidenco in the intogrity of the other. Charges of bribery and of gaud in election returns are made by both, n® without roason. In a presidential olection, especially, party spirit and hope of “the spoils” excite the feelings of the m w the highest point of tension. Should the defeated party atsuch a time, smarting under the sense of a real or sup- posed wrong, take tho law into its own hands and commit some overt act of viol against the constituted authorities, o civil strife would be likely to ensue, compared with which the late rebellion would be an affair of only trifling importance, Nor is 1t_beyond the range of probability that even a state or municipal election should under like circumstances, lead to the same lamentable results. A struggle, local at first, by arousing party prejudices and pas- sions all over the country, might easily bo- come national and thus drive the whole pop- ulation to arms for mutual destruction. 1 have thus, my brethren, called your at- tontion to some of the dangers to our institu- tiqns that appear on the surface of our socie ty, not to diminish in the slightest degre the joy you will naturally feel on the ap- proaching centennial, but to emphasize the duty that will then devolve on you. *‘To im- plore,” in _the words of the president, *‘the favors of God, that tho blessings of hiberty, prosperity and peace may abide with us as a people, and that His hand may lead us in the ighteousness and good decds.” r of an entire nauon for such an object cannot be unavailing. Let the oceaston, then, be one not of rejoicing only, but of se- rious thought, and of prayer as well, On tho morning of the centennial, at half- past 10 o'clock, mass—wherever possible, high mass—will be celebrated in all the churches in this diocese, this pastoral will bo read, the prayer for the authorities will be recited, and the service will conclude with a Te Deum, JAMES O'CONNER, Bishop of Owmalia.

Yesterday at Union Pacific headquarters, an order was received from the Boston offl- cials discontinuing all work both in construc- tion and repairs on the road. Accordingly a forco of men aggregating 200, wgetter with acrew of thirty men ‘on the construction train was discharged yesterday. This is the force that was to have beon employed in ballasting the main line between Council Bluffs ahd Nor:h Platte. The fact that the sum of 8150,000 had been sot aside for this purpose by the executive board of the Uuion Pacific leads to the opinion that the management ig about to turn over the system proper to a recciver. The company has already gone to considerable expense i locating gravel beds and equipping a construction train for that for that purpose. Inquiry at headquarters was made, but nothifiz could be learned asido from the fact that all construction and track improvement on the Union Pucific had been ordered discontinued for an indefinite time. It is stated that the growing hostility of tho inter-stave and state railway commission toward the railroads_is a matter which se- riously affcets the Union Pacific ring in no light degree, and that if the latter docs not reliquish control of the road, no further ex- penditures will be made in repairing the main line of the road. A Reduction Expected. As regards the report published in Tue Bez of Thursday concerning the 10 per cent reduction circular which is said to bo forth- coming, nothing additional could bo ascer- tained yesterday, aside from the admission by a large number of employes that such a circu- lar bas been expected for some time, Tho “leading oficial” quoted in a morning paper as denying the correctuess of the report, is mythical, The fact is that no official of the Union Pacific of more importance than an auditor was in Omaha last night. Vice President_Holcomb, General Managor Kim- ball, Assistant General Manager Dick- insor and General Trafic Manager Mellen were absent. It is mot expected that any of these would even be cognizant of the circular unless it might be Holcombe, as the reduction theor originated in Boston. However, the cut is expected and if reports be true, a general walkout at headquarters will follow. Vice President Holcomb returned yes from the west, but would offer no’informa: tion on the subject. Four clerks in the department of na accounts, under Auditor Wing, were re- leased at headquarters yosterday. A roport was put in o fon that fifty clerks at headquarters would be let out May 1, but nothing definite in this respect could be loarncd. 1t is stated that the statistical de partment is to be abolished, and the work will revert to the auditing department. This would result in letting out about fifty clerks. The matter is one in which Auditor Young's word is final. However, it is given out that no clerk excopt such as are absolutely required will be retained, and as a cousequence about May 1 several depart- ments will in all probability be reduced. senger Railroad Notes.

Poppleton says ho is “dead sot” against any scheme proposiug to convert the exposition building into o market house. Ho owns four lots of ground on which the build- ing stands and declares most emphatically that tho association will never get his con- sent to either sell or lease them for any pur- poso, and especially a market house. 3ut it is claimed,” suggested u reporter, “‘that under the present charter the city can condemn grounds for public use and will do 0 in this instance if you rofuse to lot your lots go int" *“Well, I don’t think I can, The city will find'me & long liver and hard fighter. Ihave always objectod to parting with those lots and always will. They were the first prop erty I ever owned in Omaha. 1 lived there several years, havo an _attachment for and pride in them which makes mo desire to leave them to my heirs.’ he judge spoke rathor freely and fool- ingly on this subject. “It is no vlace,” ho said, “for a market house, and if the association or the city, either, attempts to outrage me by confiscating, condemning and_appropriat- ing my property, thoy will have considorablo trouble doing it. In the first place,” he con- tinued, 1 leased those ots to the exposition people at very nominal figure, with the un- derstanding that they were going o put up something that would not only be an ornament, but a credit to the city. What was the result? A structure that is an eye- soro to the public and an elephant to its owners, 1do not propose to let them injure me in an attempt to get 1t off their hantds, If the lots were vacant I would improve them handsomely. I would erect a hotel there ata cost of not loss_than $300,000. The city needs such an institution worsa than sho does a market houso, The location for a big, fiue hotel, is, 1 think, an excellent one, and the ground is all I have suitable for business purposes. Furthermore, 1 am against having a markot house in tho center of the city. When we gevready for an enterprise of that kind, there should be two of them—one out on S Mary's avenue and the other in the north part of town, somewhere on Cuming street.” At their annual meeting last Tuesday night. the airectors of the Exposijion Building association considered a proposition and agreed that they wouid offer Exposition hall and the Grand Opoera house, which are under one roof, to the city for a public market place. The prico to be demanded was fixed at §0,000. “Now,” said ono of the inter- ested parties, “if Om: wants & good market place, centrally located, it can’t find a cheaper property so well adapted to that purpose.”” This disposition of property, however, cannot be mu v out some trouble, because L. M. Crawford, who hasa lease on the opera house which does mot expire until May 1 of next year, threatens to oppose such a transfer. 1. W. Miner, who represents him as local manager and agent, said that Mr. Crawford would not consent to cancel his lease, “The directors, however, may be able to satisfy him, but I don't believe they can. He bas already booked alarge number of attractions for next season, therefore to shut up tho house would mot only cause him an immense amountof trouble, but doubtless some of the companies might attempt to hold him for damages. This new scheme, which if consummated, does away with the Grand, has alre caused consid ble stir in theatrical — circles. It scems to be enerally conceded that a new theater is to be built. Who will build it! is the question. Two weeks ago James B. Boyd, Thomas F. Boyd, E. L. Bierbower, D. W. IHaynes and Charles Ogden organized an opera house company and filed s of in- corporation. It was supposed that they had in viewy the erectionof a new temple ot amusement, though_when asked about the matter Mr. James I3. Boyd declared that the city had not reached suflicient size to justify the expenditure of $200,000 or more in'u new temple of the muses, Another member of the corporation intimated that much de- pended on the turn of affairs. and admitted that they had their eyes on two or three good sites. “‘Omaha,” said he, s big enough to nave a ground floor theatre.” It is well known too that other men are figuring and consulting. The writer learned yester- y that William H. Green, the real estate agent, has been making strenuous efforts to occupy the field. nd lost $1,700, but this season, Miner says, 1t is ahead, consequently Mr. Crawford belicves that next season he will be uble to make some money. cid Phosphate, jons, Horsford's Beware of Imit CENTENNIAL ARRANGEMENTS, All the Details Completed With Har- rison and His Cabinet.
