Said he: “I know mothing about it. Tho first intimation I had of it was what I saw inthe papers. 1 can think of no reason why such action was taken, I have given the matter considerable attention and have been caroful to do my duty fully. No membver of the board has spoken to me about the matter, and I have received no notice from the board that my services had been dispensed with." One of the members of the committee on special teachers was asked why the commit- teo had made the recommendation referrod to. Well,” said ho, “there are reasons, Tho first is that Mr. Kummerow has not attended to nis dutics in the way he should have done. "The other is that the committee thought the instruction could be just as weil given by the various teacners, Tho excreises are very simple and the teachers know as much about, itas Mr. Kummerow.

A large crowd quickly surrounded the place, and in the confusion the man who had done the shooting made his escape. It was learnoa that he is a printer from Davenport, la., named Ji Haley, and ho 1s doscribed as being a short, very thick-set man, with dark complexion and very heavy black moustache., He is about twenty-eight years old. The patrol wagon once called and conveyed O'Neill to St, Joseph's hospital. Ed Rothory says the two men were in his place earlior in the evening, and O'Neill asked Haley to *‘set’em up.” Rothery told him not to ask that, as Halay was a stranger to him (O'Neill). They soon went out without having had any quarrel or dispute. Later, Rothery says, he was behind the bar, when he heard a pistol snapped twice and some one exclaim, ““Don’t shoot,” followed by a shot, and O'Neill staggered' in the door. All at- tention was directed to O'Neill, who was bleeding profusely. Another version of the affair, and proba- bly the correct one, as given by an eye wit- néss, is as follows : ‘The two men, O'Neill and_Haley, were in the saloon for some time during tho ovening. O'Neli had been trying to persuado Haley to “'sot 'em up,” and spend s money. Haley refused, and n heated argument ensued. Cousiderable feeling was displayed by both sides and finally Haley started for the door. He stopped at the door with one foot on the step outside and tho other inside tho saloon. He then pulled his rovol- ver and fired at O'Neill, afterwards malking his escape out of the door. At the hospital O'Neill was attended by a physician, who, after examination, an- nounced that the ball had struck directly on top of tho head and had passed around back under the scalp, coming out about three inches from where it entered. The skull was not fractured. The man was very weak from loss of blood, but the doctor was of the opinion that he ‘would soon recover. At midnight he was resting easy, with good prospecis of recovery. At last accounts Haley had not been ap- prehonded. Republican Central Committee.

None of these gentlemen have arrived yet, but those who come will come will get in on to-day's trains. It is not expected that there will be afull attendance of the committee, Too little attention atiaches to the matter. As the convention only nominates candidates for one or two positions, it lacks in political exeitement and will vrobably not be held until late. The only contest is between the cities wanting the attraction. Lincoln, | tings and Fremont seem to be the princip rival points, with Lincoln first, H second and Fremont third in the names of Beatrice, Nebraska City, Grand Island and Kearney may be presented. MARKSMEN MOUNTED, The Cavalry Competitio at Bellevue, The first day's prelimary practice in the cavalry competition of the departments of the Platte, the Columbia and Dalkota, com- meaces to-morrow. The shooting will take place at the nfle range at Belle- vue, which has just been va- cated by the infantry rifle competitors of the department of the Platte. This 18 the first cavalry competition of this kind which has been held and its working will be watched with interest by soldiers throughout the country. So great has provement in i the infantry that it has been thought advis- avor to introduce the same efil- b small arms in the mounted service] of tho army. In the latter, rifle practicc hus thus far received but little stimulus, As a con- sequence tuere is some uncertainty as to the standard of excallence which this contest will develon. There is Itttle doubt, howev- er, that with successive competitious and studious practice on the post ranges that the cavalry produce as fine mounted marksmen thing consider discovered among the foot soldie The weapons to be used are @ modified carbine and revoi- ver, 'The former is somewhat shorter than the Spr 1 rifle and with 1t tho cavalry has become more or less familiar. With the revolvor, however, but comparatively little shooting hus been don Yet, it is admitted that accuracy in using this weapon is as great a desideratim in the cavalryman as 18 almost the knowledge of the use of his sabre.

It was clainod by the property owners thattne horse car company was carrying out a “dog in tho manger” policy, and while refusing to extend its own line wostward was 80 occupyibg that part of Leavonworth stroet cast of Park avenue as to provent any other company from enjoying the use of that important thoroughfare. § Astrong effort was mnde to induce the Omaha Motor company to construct a doublo line of tracks wost from Park avenue, with the right guaranteed on the part of the prop erty owners that the courts would pormit the jomnt wuse of the tracks of the Omuha Stroet Railway company eastward along Leavenworth street. Hofore rrangements with the mother company could be perfocted, a “truce” was declarod and the old company agreed to extond its lines in accordanoo with the wishes of the preperty owners. Under tho arrangoment, as now made with the Omaha Street railway company, that road is to extend its double track on Leavenworth streot as far west as the tracks of tho 13olt line within sixty days, and during the season of 1500 compiote tho same as far west as the Holy Sepulcher cematery. — G.

Kimball, of the Union Pacific railway, concerning a unioun depot for Omaha, published elsewhere in this issue, was read at the council meet- ing last night and met a very favorable re- ception. It was referred 1o the cowmmittee on viaduets and _railways, with instructions to report an_ordinance at a special meeting of the council to be _held this evening, de- claring the necessity of building a viaduct across the railroad tracks on Tenth street, and instructing the city engineer o prepore plans for and an estimated cost of such a viaduct. It was argued that such a step ‘would enable the ratlw companies to make a definite proposition that mizht be consid- ered by the council and the people. The other business of the council was of a routine character. Too Many Mortgages. H. K. Hendee has filed a complaint in the volice court ugainst George -H.
