TO STRIKE OR NOT T0 STRIKE The Very Sorlous Quastion Agitat- ing Union Pacific Employes. A RAPIDLY GROWING INFANT. Oommencement Exercises of the Wes- leyan University — The Asylum for Ineurably Insane — Three Times Tried. Srreer, LiNcouy, June 18, To strike, or not to strike, seems to bo the grave question inder consideration by Union Pacifio employes. Tt will bo docided, doubts less, in n day or two. It has just been reli- ably learned that the brotherhood of brake- men and engincers, and the Knights of Labor have signed articles of confederation, stipu- lating that they shall stand or fall together whenever the emergencyarises, The arti- cles are esteemoed significant in this: “In union there Is strength.” In coaversation with a vrominent Union Pacific employe, he expressed himself strongly in favor of tak- ing the extreme unless tue oMicials of the road made favorable concessions. *'You nced not hesitato to say,” he said v Tue Bee man, that the chances for the auticipated strike are even, The Lincoln brotherhood and Knights of Labor have banded together and the decisive step may bo taken any mo- ment. It is said that a confederation will be formed throughont the west, and if the striko is attompted you will find the best or- anizod set of strikers that ever took the bit etween their teeth.” Apropus to this, it can be said that a strike is not considered imminent 1n business circles here, and officials of the road are seemingly altogether at ease. But for all that, troubla certainly brews if the bed is not made wide enough to hold two. The brotherhood scems to be a unit, and their demuuds, generally known to the pub- lie, have not been made to create a great ‘blow about nothing. Lixcorx BURRAU or Tie OMANA Han, } Wesleyan Commencement. Examinations were continued to-day. On the whole they are provipz very creditable. The art reception was held at 2 o'clock, this afternoon, and attended by a large number of the friends of the institution. This was Aollowed by the annual meeting of the board of trustees, Reports and subjects considored indicate a healtnful condition for the rapidly rowing infant. The inaugural jubilee was eld at St. Paul’s church at 8 o'clock, this eveniug, The spacious church was crowded 1o the utmost. 1t was highly interesting and auspicious in every sense. Bishop Warren delivered the address, Tt was a brilliant ef- fort and listened to with marked attention. Asylum For the Incurab’y Insane. Dr. Stone, superintendent of the hospital forthe incurable insane, Hastings, is in the city. The doctor in a general way stated that the institution was fittng up rapidly, and would soon be ready for the reception of patients. He anticipates a large draft from the first. It is understood that the incura- ble insaz e of both the Lincoln ana Norfolk hospitals will be removed to the asylum at Hastings at the earliest possible date. The Lincoln asylum will send nearly two hun- dred patients, The doctor also stated that a good deal of the furaiture was already in place, but he was unable o fix upon the exact date of the opening, But it is safe to say that it will be within the next six weeks. The Supreme Court, James L. Gandy vs the state is the title of & case that again appears upon the records of the supreme courtof the state. This time it comes up on error from the disurict court of Pawnee county. It will be remem- ‘ered that Gandy was first tried and con- vieted in Richardson county, on the charge of perjury, and sentenced o a term of years in the state pen. The case came to the su- prome court and was reversed and remanded. On a change of venue Gandy was tried in the courts of Pawnee county, on the same charge, and upon conviction was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of five years. Again his attorneys appeal to the supreme court, and, pending the action, their client lies in the county jail. This is the third time this mun bas been tried, convicted and sen- tenced on criminal charges, and each’ time has temporarily escaped the penalty of the law because of his position and riches. John Simons et al vs D. B. Sowards also pends in the supreme court oun error from the district court of Boone county. Scbuyler National bank vs Neil R.

Tho scheme for a meating of business men from every county in Nebraska at board of trade hall, in this city, on June 25, 18 taking like wild fire everywhere. The indications are now that thero will bo at loasy 400 dele- gates here. W. C. Fenton, of Stockville, has arrived already to represent Frontier county, and he says that nearly every town in his part of the state will send from two to five mon. “I think the movement is just what we have long wanted. Its objects cannot, fail to bring forth good results. Frontier county is twenty-four miles wido by forty-two long, and fully 75 per cent of the land could be lized tor agricuttural purposes, Tha re- maining 25 per cent is as good grazing as can be found anywhere. We have room for threo times as many settlors as are thero now, and want to get them if we can, Tho crop prospects. were nover better. 1 think our wheat and oats vield_this year wili be larger than ever before, and the corngis sim- ply immonse.” Mr. Fenton came down to visit friends until the convention meets. Ho is secretary of the Stockville board of trade. Hon. A. R. Graham, of Wisner, is among the visiting Masons, and takes a prominent part in the grand lodge proceedings. Mr. Graham says the business men of his town are heartily in sympathy with the Omaha board of trade movement to do somethmng that will bring emigrants into the state, and they propose sending a strong delegation to the conven- tion. *‘Cuming county,” said he, **has room for a great many more bpzople than reside there now, and would gladly welcome them. The prospects for a good harvest are very flattering. The dry weather in April and May injured smull grain somewhat, but re- cent rains have brought out and insured to us the heaviest corn crop we ever raisea.” C. F.

REPTILES ON EVERY HAND ““They Heard Your Protestations of Love,” Oried the Girl, “and They Will Hear Your Dying Breath.” Polson for Polson. Bleecker street was, nearly a century ago, says a writer in the Cinecinnati Enquirer, one of the aristocratic thor- oughfares of New York city, and many of the best families Gotham had at the time were residents of it. As recent as 1848 the street was occupied by a class of people who would dislike to be scen there today. There is now a large business house on a block where there formerly stood an inn lkopt by a Span- iard known as Canovas De Rosa. It was here that a tragedy was committod one night that is probably unparalleled in the criminal annals of this country, the details of which never reached the general public. Canovas was a man who had accumu- lated considerable money by catering to the wantg of the weary traveler that had made the then lengthy trip from Philadelphia. In the rear of hisinn was a barn like apartment in which he kept a wolf, a bear and a few reptiles. He added to the collection whenever an opportunity presented iteslf,and asa consequence he had in time quite a menagerie, which was the means of at- tracting to his place people who, while looking at his collection of beasts, spent considerable money. The man wasa widower and bad no family. He had come to this country early in the thirties, and brought with him the only child of his brother, who had developed into a beautiful girl. Rose De Rosa had all the attributes of the Spanish maiden. She had picked up English when a mere child soon aiter she arrived, and was probably more of an attraction to the inn than the menagerie. Rose,a: e was famil- iarly called by the habitues of the place, had instilled into her mind that the companionship of the average young man of the day meant ruin and destruction. Canovas was not slow to realize that THE GIRL'S BEAUTY would some day bring to him a fortnne. The hones he indulged in were selfish from their origin. He frequently in- formed her that she was safer whon au the mercy of the beasts in the barn than in the company of the young gen- try of that day. It was not an unusual sight to see the girl, when just entering her teens, ¢ company her uucle to the barn to fur- nish food for the ferocious beasts con- fined there. The latter had become accustomed to the young girl’s pres- ence and would perform antics at hor command that both pleased and aston- ished the customers. Canovas saw she possessed _some influence over the beasts, and rendered all the assistance in his power for the development of the talent. He increased his llection and added a few native snakes. The latter acted like kittens in the girl’s hands, and her fame asa charmer of venomous reptiles spread to such an ex- tent that crowds would assemble in the barn to observe her take the slimy creatures from their gl case and coil them about her person. It was at this period that a young Russian Chafe Jurge was introduced to Canovas. The young man’s mother had been & Spanish girl who had made a runaway match with a Russian, the fruits of which were a child and a life of misery. The young man was edu- cated abroad and sent to this country by his father’s relatives to negotiate with American capitalists regarding an enterprise that promised great results. It was generally known that Chafe would eventually be the possesser of an immense fortune, and, being young and hendsome, was naturally much sought after. He had neard of Rose, and ex- pressed a desire to see the girl. Cano- vas knew the young man by reputation, and visions of a match between bim and his ward came to his mind. Chafe drove to the Bleeker street inn one day and was served with wine. Rose was present and saw tbat his wants were properly attended to. His manner wasdifferent from those of young men visiting her uncle’s house, conse- quentlf‘ it was not surprising that a mutual attraction sprung uv between the voung people. It was almost imme- diately ripened into love. Chafe took up his abode at the place, and it was in time looked upon by Canovas as the FUTURE HUSBAND OF THE GIRL, He had encouraged the suit by every means in his power. Chafe would pass hours in the barn watching the girl feeding her vicious pets. During one of these performances he remembered that his presence was required ata hotel kept by a fellow-countryman, where an invalid friend was stopping. “Come with e, Rose,” he whispered, leaning over the girl affectionately. *‘I wish to introduce to him my future wife.” An hour later she was on her way to visit the sick friend of the man she loved. Darknesswas just falling as they entered the gate sf a place standing on what is now known as Bowling Green. Chafe took the girl’s arm and led her upstairs. They entered a chamber handsomely furnished, but unoccupied. A table standing in the cepter of the room bore fruits and wines. There were chairs placed for two. Rose started back at not seeing the friend whom they had come to visit, but Chafe ex- plained that the gentleman had proba- bly gone to drive with his physician, and under the circumsstances it would be proper to remain until he returned. It wus the old story, over which tho sands of women have shed sufficient tears to form an ocean. A story told so often and in so many parts of the world that it has become familiar. The power of the wine, the influence of their ar- dent love, and, in the passion of the mo- ment, forgetfulness of the future. Chalfe left the girl at her uncle’sdoor. An hour later she had a note from him, in which he said he had decided to take up his quarters elsewhere, Rose passed the next day in the barn with the animals. She astonished Can ovas by the reckless manner in which she made the reptiles go through their tricks. She delrbernwly allowed half a dozen rattlesnakes to come out of their cases at one time, and laughed at her uncle’s fright when she saton a chair with a trio of DANGEROUS PETS IN HER LAP. The summer came and went, and Chafe was still absent. Rumors reached the inn that he was pudyin‘ attention to ladies. Canovas could not understand his prolonged absence, and wrote to him.” The answer threw him into a pas- sion. It was only a few lines in Spanish, written in pencil, at the bottom of a note sent to him: “1 liked Rose bacansa sha is beautiful. i 2oy s d i but never thwib&d marrying her.” The words burned into the girl's brain as her uncle Mnded them to her. She placed the noté'in her pocket and repaired to her fi¥érite seat among the roptiles in the barn, 1t was here that she decided on a plan of revenge as horrible as it was appalling. She wrote to Chafe, begging him to come to the 1nn. The ankwor contained the statoment that he was soon to wed, but that' Rose could be to him all that a Wife could be without bearing his nam It was the last straw. She immadiately wrote a letter couched in the most endearing terms, consenting to his vile proposition. “‘Grant me one request,” she pleaded ‘before all is over. Uncle is confined to his bed, and cannot disturb us. Spend one hour with me at the barn.” He protested, but finally consented. It was then dusk. 1In less than an hour she was unlocking the door of the place in which he had first spoken words of love to her.» He followed her in. The soven months that had elupsed since he was there had not worked many changes. A sofa and a chair were o fow feet beyond the cases containing the snakes, all of whom appeared as harmloss as lambs. No thought of danger entered the man’s mina. Rose walked over tothe case con- taining the reptiles and threw back the door. “‘For God’s sake, don’t take them out!” he exclaimed. *You are not in condition to handle them to-night. See how their tongues dartout! Do not touch them, Rose.” *Their tongues do not contain as much poison as some human beings,’” said Rose, as she lifted the largest of the wrio of rattlesnakes from its warm blanket and returned toher position on the sofa. JUNE 19, 1889 SIX'I‘E'EV P. showed what an awful tragedy had been committed. The girl stood with her arms folded and a resolute expression on her face. It was in this position that Canovas found them. Ho had heard the noise, and, dressing himself, came ont. The Eiri did not show the least surprise at is presence. ‘‘He ruined me!” she exclaimed, !\olnung to the wretched man on the loor before her, ‘“‘and I have been re- venged.” Canovas took in the situation ata glance. He ran to the door, and, reaching the strect, sped for the near- est physician, When he returned Chafe was dead. His face was a horri- ble spectacle. Rose was standing in the same position as when he had left. The physician looked at her a moment and shook his head. ‘‘She has lost her reason,” he said. “Nothing can be done for her.” Within three months she died, and her body was interred in the old ceme- | tery at Havlem, over which a row of brick houses now stands. o Took All His Pains Away. A. M. Chisholm, of No. 24 Stoddard Streot, St. Lous, Mo., write “During my long residence in Canada I suffered for years from severe pains i my back, across the region of the kidneys, and by the constant use of ALLCOCK'S PLasTens invariably obtained reat relief. Upon ro moving to St. Louis, I was again troubled with the same complaint, and was advised to use Magnetic and other kinds of plasters, without being relioved of pain, so fell back to my old friend Arnrcock, who gives me moro rolief than any other that I have ever tried. 1 always recommend them to my friends and all who suffer from pains and aches of any kind.” “I loved you once,” the girl ex- claimed, as the reptile coiled itself in a kuot on her lap—‘‘loved you with all the passionate ardor of a young girl’s heart.” **‘And don’t you love me yet?” *No. My hate for you now is as strong as my love was one.” Chafe turned pale. He realized that the girl’s reason was affected, and the bringing of him here, was simply the fulfiliment of a part of a deliberate plot | for revenge. “Rose, why did you bring me here?” *'T0 SEE YOU Digl” The girl hissed the words out between her clenched teeth with so much vehe- mence that Chafe rose te his feet. “*Yes,” she continued, ‘'l enticed you here to punish you forthe wrong you have done. You know the blood that runs in my veins—you know that it calls for your life for the great harm you have ! done me.” The girl rose to her feet as she spoke. The serpent dropped to the floor with a thud and raised its head in a threaten- | ing mauner. Chafe leaped to the chair on which he had been sitting, as the snake glided past.him to a dark corner. Rose trembled with suppressed passion ! as she stood before the man who had blighted her young Iife. She ran to the case containing the two other rattle- snakes and tossed ‘them toward him. The body of oné struck him on the breast and fell to “the floor, where it gave forth its ominous rattie. “You cannot escape them,” the girl sereamed in her passion. “‘They heard your protestations of love, and they will hear your dying treath.” She leaned over another case and had ed o huge blacksnake, Chafe real- ized vhat his only hope of escape lay 1n subduing the girl, Keason was out of the question. Al socond more and he was on the floor and raised the chair in the air. It fell with a fortunate girl, who uttered a moan and sank to the floor. The chairhad strack the one light the place afforded and ex- tinguished 1t. Total darkness prevailed, a darkness more intense from the fact that poisonous reptiles were loose about him, If ho could but reach the door he might escape. A few steps would bring him there. He took one and heard the rattle of a snake. He could feel their presence within an inch or two of his y. The thought flashed through his brain that if he remained perfectly still the deadly creatures would probably re- turn to their cases. A cold sweat broke out over him. The suspense wasawful. He could hear the blacksnake drag- ging itself along the otherside of the apartment, A thought came to him and he at once acted upon it. He knelt down and felt along the floor as far as he could reach in the direction of the door. He dragged himself on his knees and had wraveled nearly half the distance when his hand came in contact with the crawling body of a snake. He drew back suddenly as he heard the awful rattle of the reptile. Another instant and SOMETHING STRUCK HIM IN THE FACE and dropped to the floor. He shrieked aloud and rose to his feet. It made no difference if a dozen snakes were about him. They could do him no more harm. He had been bitten. Rose recovered consciousness at about, the time that the unfortunate wretch felt the fangs of the reptile piercing his cheelk., At last.” she exclaimed with a hys- terical laugh. ‘“You poured poison into my life, and this is my revenge.” The man paid no attention to her words; he was pounding heavily against the locked door. The girl arose, struck a match and re- lit the candle. He turned as she did 50, and presented a spectacle awful to behold. Blood was trickling from the wound on his face, which was alread beginning to swell out of all propor- tions. The strange glare of his eyes showed that the insidious poison of the re})ma was doing its deadly work. ‘My God! save me, save me,” lhriefied the unfortunate wretch. He approached her and knelt at her feet. The snakes had cyawled back to their blankets, and only the upturned chair and the condition of the man St e A STATUE TO GIORDANO BRUNO. Unvelled at Rome in Honor of One Burned to Death For Heresy. For Humanity sweeps onward ‘While the hootiug mob of yesterday in silent awe return To glean up the scattered ashes into History's golden urn The citizens of Rome viewed yester- day for the first time the unveiling of a statue to an arch heretic on the spot where nearly three centuries ago he was burned to death by order of the in- quisition, says the Chicago Tribune: It is enough to make the bodies of all the dead members of the holy office turn in their graves with horror. It has shocked the living oves, and the erection of the monument was hitterly opposed from the beginning by the pope, who counsidered it scanda- lous in the highest degree. But the Italian government does not believe that the church is infallible now, or that it was so in the days when it was dealing with Galileo and other teachers of new doctrines. The idea of commemorating this great Italian who met his death in the cause of re- ligious liberty was conceived by Ital- ians who, while thoy may not share his views, y to rvecognize his sin- cerity, high-mindedness, and devotion to what he believed to be the truth, The statue is the work of Ettori Fer- rari, an eminent sculptor and a mem- ber of the Italian chamber of deputies. It is placed in the Campo de Fiori, not far from the banks of the Tiber, where Bruno was burned. Giordano Bruno was born in 1548 in the Neapolitan city of Nola. His father was a soldier, and perhaps of German parentage. When ten or eleven years old he was sent toan uncle in Naples. At the age of fifteen he entered a Dominican monastery and became a novice of the order. His baptismal name of Phili‘ he changed for his me in religion” of Giordano, by which he is alw known. In this monastery he rem: fifteen years. Even while a novice he was accused of sy because he had abandoned de- votion to pictures of the saints contented himself with a cruc alone. This charge was smothered, but in 1575 new complaints were made, and he left Naples and went to Rome. The next two years were spent in school teaching in the morth of Italy. Then he went to Geneva, where he got work in a printing office, but Calvinism was abhorrent to him, and he journeyed on to Paris, where he taught and wrote and gained the friend- ship of Henry IIL. Next he went to England, lectured at Oxford, became in- timate with Sir Philip Sidney and Fulke Greville, and won the favor of Queen Elizabeth, whom he called the ‘“Diana of the Nymphs of the North.” In 1585 he went to Germany and spent quiet years at Wittenberg. In 1591 he was unwise enough to go to Venice. A false friend denounced him to the Inquis sition. He was arrested, and in was turned over by the Venetian government to the Papal authorities. He was tried for heresy. It was charged that he taught the eternity of the universe, a plurality of inhabited worlds, and many other false doc- trins. Some of the accusations made against him he denied, some he ad- mitted to be true, but refused to recant. After seven years spent in prison he was found guilty and was turned over by the inquisition to the “‘secular arm,” the order reading **heseeching you so o mitigate the severity of his sin with respect to his body, that there may be no shedding of blood.” This gentle phrase meant that he should be hurnt. Burnt he was February 17, 1600, in the presence of a large and enthusiastic auaience of Roman citizens, According to the account in a news letter, ‘‘he was slowly roasted, and may now, in those other worlds which he imagined to exist, tell how blasphemers and heretics are punished at Rome.” To-day his statue is unveiled on the spot where he died and the church is powerless to prevent it. Swirr's SPECIFIC has a brisk and constant sale with us, and the universal verdict is, that as a blood medicine it has no rival. Laxgrorp & TOYMAN, Drumiisu.
