NEw Yonk, August 12.—When the news reached this city this afternoon that the ry had found indictments against the New Yorkers who had taken a hund in the prize fight by aidingand abetting, there was consternation among tihe sports and it was deemed expedient to take some decided stand on their ‘rights” ns American citizens. It was suid lato this afternoon that the udherents of both Sullivan and Kilrain had agreed to raise a flag of truce, shake hands and see -each other through. One scheme reported was that the party should o south and surrender to the governor, but the scheme most favored was to engage emi- nent counsel and make a big 1ight before going south, It was suggested that Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, Daniel Dougherty and Hourke Cochrane be retuined. 1f such a trio could be secured to defend them they hoped that Governor Hill, after hearing the facts, would refuse to Houor Governor Lowry's requisition, 1t is learned that Sullivan and Kilrain have been indicted on three or four different counts—prize fighting, assault und battery, gambling, etc. The indietnents may not be presented to the court until late to-morrow afternoon. o ey Visiting Senator Hale, Krisworrs, Me., August 12.—President Harrison, Scoretary of Stute and Mrs. Blaine, Secrotury of the Navy Tracy and Mrs, Wilmerding, Private Secretary Hal- ford, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge, Walker Blaine, Miss Blaine, Lioutonant and Mrs, Mason, Major and Mrs. Palmer, Charles .

Des Moixes, Ia, August 12.—|Speeial Telegram to Tne Bee |—Delegates to the state convention are arriving in great num- bers, more having come to-night than on any corresponding night for ten years. Allof the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor are here, and their active workers are opening the campaign. The leading can- didates have open parlors at the Savery house, and their rooms are oonstantly thronged by the visitors who cail to pay their respects, Captain Hull's parlors seem like Grand Army headquarters. Flags are beautifuily festooned around the room and on tho wall is a picture of the captain when, as a beardless boy, he entered the army. At one side of the room is & long strip of a fag which was carried by the Indiana delegation at Chicago and presented by the Hoosiers to Mrs. Hull after Hurrison was nominated. The Hull men think it will be their mascot. The headquarters of Mr. Wheeler and Sen- ator Hutchinscn have no ornaments other than the occupants of tho rooms. Mrs. Wheeler has accompanied her husband, The delegates from southwestern Iowa wear a sprig of blue grass in their button hole s snigestive of the blue grass palace at Creston. It is hard to say who has most of the new arrivals, but the Wheeler men are very numerous aud the Hull men very enthusiastic. Senator Hutchinson expects the most of his supporters in the morning. Mr. Crapo, of Burlington, is on hand, but his vote will hardly exceed that of his own county, Indications are now that the fight to-morrow and Wednesday will be very lively. A Frightful Death. MasoN Ciry, Ia., August 12.—[Special Tel- egram to Tur Brs.|—Joseph Dingman, for- merly of Belvidere, Ill, met with a terrible death to-day.

The C., St. P, c! l( ©. Wants 1t for Missouri River Points. Cmceaco, August12.—[Special Telegram to Tns Bee. | —Chairman Walker, of the inter- state commerce railway association, to-day heard the argument of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railroad to apply the St. Paul low-commodity tariff to Missouri river points. The hearing camo up on an appeal from the refusal of the association, and it was thought the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City would drop the matter. Chairman Walker must render a decision in ten days, and no matter what he decides the Chicago, St. Paul & Kunsas City can, ten days subsequently, lower the rates under the rulesof the asso- clation. General Manager Kgan to-day said this was what the road would do, he having no hopes that Chairman Walker would favor the road in his decision. The application of the St. Paul low commodity tariff to Missouri river points will have a paralyzing nfl'ocv. on western rates, lowering them from 25 to 50 per cent between Chicago and the Missouri. Set Aside By Gresham. INpIaNAPoOLIS, August 12,—In the United States court ti-dsy Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of the circuit bench, of his own motion peremptorily set aside the order mado last weok by Judge William A. Woods, of the district federal court, creating a re- ceivership for the Indianapolis, Daocatur & Western railroad, and appointing R. B. F. Pierco ' recciver, Judge Gresham held that_ sufficiont cause for tho receivership had not been shown, and that thero was no propriety in the fiction and probably no jurisdiction. The order for the receivership was, after the usual custom, entered in 11lin0is, aftor it had boos made by Judge Woods, in Indiaus. Juige Gresham's .order likewise is made for both states.

STILL ALIVE AND WORKING. 0 The Board of Tyade Committee on the Tnibn Deport. A very intoresting meeting of the hoard of trade was held 'last night. Railroads and the shabby treatmeht they are at present ac- cording to Omilha monopolized the major portion of the e¥éning. The union depot and Merchants' week, were also dwelt upon briefly. In the matter of tho live stock committee, Mr. Boya, the sevretary stated, had promised to have a report feddy for this meeting, but it was uzderstood that Mr. Boyd was out of tho city, New Orleans wints anavy yard and re- quesls the co-operation of all cities on the Mississippi and its tributaries in secaring it. A communication addressed to tho Omaha board of trade was reforsed to the memorial committee. At a meeting of the commeroial exchange, of Atchison, Kan,, held on July 20, 1t was resolved to invite the cities of the Missouri valley to send delegates to a confereace to beheld in Atchison Wednesday, Angust 14, to consider and discuss the discriminations made in freight rates by the raiiroads of this section. It is said that the discrimination is notorious, and the grievance of long stand- An examination of the froight tariffs od by the various ronds at it ranges from 15 to The Atchison commercial licves that the cities inte take actlon that will abolish these unjust dis- criminations, Five delegates from the Omaha board were therefare invited attend, and President Euclid Martin_ap- ponted the following gentlemen: Clark ‘Woodman, Samuel Rees, Edwin Davis and John I, Clark. A request from the chamber of commerce of Sault Sto. Marie, Mich., that the Omaha board participate in a convention to be held there on the 25th inst. for the discussion of restrictions at present imposed upon inter- national railway traftic, was read. A com- mittee of three was named, as follows: Jeft Bedford, Joseph Garneau and Mr. Metz. That vexed and vexatious matter of Coun- cil Bluffs' advantage in the matter of freight rates was illustrated by Mr. Wheeler, who said that the ouly way for Omaha shippers 10 compete with those of the city next door was to haul their goods over the river by n and ship from there. Then it was expluined that the roads had answered a demand for a charge that would E:VO fair play to Omaba by saying that the Jouncil Bluffs rates were those dictated by the lowa commissioners, and were ruinous to the roads. In accordance with this condi- tion of things, therefore, no relief could be given local shippers. Mr. C. O. Lobeck rose to say that while absent from the city he had heard much about the grand parade to be given on Wednesday of Merchants’ week, and was surprised that the board of trade had not been accorded a place in line as a body. To get the matter discussed, Mr. Lobeck moved that the board ask for a position and come out asa body. Mr, E. Rosewater said it wasn't feasible, Ninety per cent of the members of the bvard are merchants, and would desire to be in the line with exhibits of their own. As a result, ouly & very poor showing could be made. ‘I'ne resolution vas referred to the di- rectors. At this juncturé Mr. Martin reminded vhe board that its president and secretary had but recently réwurned from a it to Ogden, Utah, where they had been called to witness the opening of & new union depot. +“Phe only reason why I speak of it," he re- murked, that we have none in Omaha. Some four months ago,” he continued, “a committee of this board was appointed to work in this matter, and they have not yet reported. Something surely ought to have been learned by this time. When Chey- enne and Ogden and every little city along the line can have union depots 1t seems time that Omaha was doiug something.” For the committee, Mr. W. A. L. Gibbon explained that they must have more time, and even as he spoke a low laugh emunated from sundry spots in the cirele. The com- mittee, he said, was yet alive and working. Mr. Wheeler suggested Mr. Rosewater as one of the delegates to the Atehison conven- tion, but the latter gentlemar declined, say- 10g that as this was to be one of the most im- portaut meetings of the year, only heavy job- bers and shippers ought to be sent. 'Those who go should be men who know exactly where the shoe pinches. President Martin doubred 1f it would be really a representative convention. Mr. Wheeler expluned that the size of the town had no bearing on the matter. Atchi- son had probably been chosen because it lay midway between Kansas City and St. Joseph. Sald Mr. Rosewater: *“I think. as the president of the Kansas City board of trade remarked at the banquet here, that Kunsas City was not the place to complain of the railroads, because she was gotting about all she wanted from them. 'Therefore, the fu is thut Atchison is a better place for such a convention than the larger city named. Omaha might well go there and see how to Detter herself.” Founzht With a Mo torman. George Kennedy, a colored man, who has a paperbanging and kalsomining establish- ment near the corner of Sixteenth and Cum- ing streets, was arrested Sunday night for assaulting H. J. Carter, a motorwan in the employ of the bridge line. Kennedy was riding on the front platform of the wotor car, on the other sideof the river, and re- fused to go back into the car when requested to do so by Carter. Kennedy says he had about §7 in his band and was searching for change to pay his fare when Carter told him to got off tne platform. He refused to go back, saying there was no room. Carter then attempted to put hm off, and in the scuflle both men fell from the car. Kennedy says Carter got his hand on the money Ken- nedy had in his hand, und snatched it from him. They were separated and the car pro- ceeded to Omaha. Kennedy came over after- wards and met Carter again on this side. He approached him and asked him for his money, whereupon Carter struck him with the iron bar used in opening switches, Thoy wore again separated and & warrant sworn out for Kennedy’s urrest. rter claims that Kenuedy was the ag- or, and shows @ mark on his right cheels whero he says Kennedy bit him, He denies taking Kenuedy’s money, and says ho struck Lim in self-defense.

Views and Interviews On aht in Hotel Oorridors and Elsewhere, 1t is snid by those who olaim to know that Hon. James B. Boyd will begin the erection of a new theatre in Omaha noxt yoar, so as to have it ready for the ovening of the sea- son of 1501, One of the ramors afloat Is that he has opened negotiations with a well- known architect for plans, and various eligi- ble sites are now under consideration. The most serious difffculty encountered is to find lots doep enouwh. It appears to be almost out of the queation to think of building a ground floor houso only 123 feet deep. Thay much space would not give enough oftice and foyer room i front and muke an auditorium as large as that in the present house, Mr. Boyd said yesterday that he had con- ceived & plan which would enable him to eroct n $900,000 thoatre, and to make it strictly first-cluss, Nothing less than that amount, counting in what the ground would cost, will build it. He proposes to purchase the site himself, then issue 125 bonds of §1,000 each, running ten years, at 4 per cont wntorest, aud let men with money, who ure interested an seeing such an improvement made here, take them. John Ellis, a well-to-do business man of Beatrice, was in Omaha yesterday, and being solicited by & BEE reporter for an in torview, said that his town was preparing for tho most exciting time this fall in its his- tory. “Last Thursday Gage county held an election and voted bonds to the IKensas U & Beat railway. On Saturday our pri maries occurred, next Thursday comoes the republican convention to mominate co oficers, and it promises to be a circu hottest fight is on the tre; thore are three or four candidates. Mr. Ellis predicts a great future for Beat- rice. Work will be commenced on the new railroad to-day, and the company proposes to push it through as rapidly as possible. The next move will be for un extension to Omaha. Unless this city makes an effort to get that road Kansas City is sure to draw a great deal of trade that ought to come here.

Through Unfortunate Circumstances the Parents Cannot Bury it In response to a letter announcing a “‘sad case of destitution on Twelfth ana Nicholas streets,”” & reporter, during tbe rain yes- terday, knocked at the door of John Neil's humble dwelling. The house, a little un- painted frame, with a tar-papered sunex, stands low, down in a soggy, muddy hollow, walled in by new made grades, where the water of each succceding rain soaks grad- away, cultivating slime and scattering broadcast the sceds of disease frail lovking woman with a kindly, motnerly face, though now very sad and careworn, came to the door. A clean-looking bad stood in one corner of the little room, a home-made cup- board in another held a small assortment of clean, polished, cheap piates and dishes, and a carefully blackened cooking stove with its few well polished untensils stood in the cen ter of the room. “Come in,” said the woman, while her chin trembled and tears started to her eyes. The roporter entered to find just back of the doors extended across two hairs and hidden under a white sheet, the dead body of a buby. Three little children, the oldest not moré than six years of age, stood around the body with tear-stained faces, and one kind-hoarted neighbor was trying as best she could o comfort the be- reaved moter, In a resigned way and occasional away a tear, the beart-broken wou her story. They sen living in their present houso only about two weeks and had no friends in the city. Her husband had saved enough to buy ‘the house and had it purtly paid for, though they did not know it was 0 bad till the rain came. He had bought a team and wagon subject to a mort: wago and was doing well till bad luck came all ut onco, He worked two weoks, she sud, for the grader, Souer, at $t a day and Souer left and paid him nothing. Then another man beat him out of two more weeks’ wages and his money was all gone and a payment was due on the house and horses. He got two days’ work last week for six dollars and on his way homa highway robbers took it from him and he was loft destitute, with food for neither horses or ciildren and no one to whom he could ap peal for aid. Then the baby took sick and they earried it twice to the doctor, but last night the littlo one died, asking Lis fatuer to taise him down to see the river, “My husband is uptown now trying to scll his team. 1 don’t know what we shall do then, but he does not want t k for charity and 1 suppose it must be doe, for the child must be buried this afternoon” With a promise that they should not be held up as objects of charity, the reporter loft one of the saddest scencs he had ever witnessed. T'ne attention of County Agent Mahone; was called to the case andhe visited t Neils, offering such aid as the county pro- vides. He was told that they had 4 tittle money, enough to provide for immediate necessities, but, supnosed it would be nec sary toaccept the proferred assistance.

The Milwaukee Oitizons' Committeo Gives Up in Despalr. ACOURTEOUS BUT FIRM REFUSAL The Rallroads Say That One Con- cession Would Lead to Another, and Wonld Only Ena in Disaster. The Sub-Committee's Roport. Cnrcago, August 12.—(Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]-The Milwaukee citizons’ committee on the G. A. R. encampment has finally given up all hope of obtaining & further reduction In rates from the railronds. To-day the following report was made to the exccutive committee of the encampuient by the sub-committee: The undersigned, appointed to visit Chi- cago and consult with the managers of the Central Traflc and Westorn States passen- gor associations in regard to the lowering of tho transportation to the encampment, have to report that they visited Chicago on Tuesday last and held a lengthoned inter- view with Mr. Blanchard, chawrman of the Contral Traflo ociation, and Mr. Abbott, chairman of the Western States Passenger association. The sub-committee presented the reasons for the change in tho rate in the strongest possible manner and presented all the arguments they could to in- duce a reconsideration of the present condi- tions. [u reply Messrs, Blauchard and Abbott made separate statements to the sub- committee, giving at some length the reasons 'which bad brougnt about the adoption of the single fare for the doubls journcy us a minimum for excursion rates. they claim that the adoption of that rate wis i absolute nocessity on the pari of the roads to save them from financial loss and that the sumo business prudence which had diotated the oriemal agreement demunded that no concession be made even in the exceplional circumstances now exist- 1ng, 48 oue excoplion would inevitably lead to a demand for others which it would th be practicably impossible to resist. ‘I stated that anvfexceptions to that rate, which had occurred in the Contral Trafic districts had been brought about by rouds not connected with either associations and over which they had no control; that the question of an exceptional rate for the encampment had been very fully discussed by the associations at different times and the arguments presented by this sub- committoe had already been so fully con- sidered and acted upon that there was not the slightest chance for o rehearing result ing in any change of rate. They expressed their sympathy with the position m which this city z 2 encampment ar renion, but stated. conld not see any rate could now be mad their witlinguess to br before the managers of the Weste Passenger association, but as it require a unanimous 'vote to onsider the previous decisions they could not give the slightest hope that such recon- sideravion could be effected. Your sub-com- mittee continued to urge upon these gentle men every argument which the nocessit. and propricty of the case could sugges were reluctantly forced to the re is no hopy whats of unani- s siction on the part of the association w0 change the rate of transportation. The sub-committee was inforined of the various rates of fare now prevailing in the central aud castern disiricts, which furnish rates of transtortation ut even less than 1 cent u mile, und of course it is quite possible e ) States would this_demoralization of ratos may spread further in the course of the next few wecks and thus lessen thy om other parts of the country. The Jmmitteo et with the greatest courtesy from all of the gentlemen connected with the romds with whom they came in contact, and now having discharged tho duties wmposed upon it to the very best of its ability can only regret that its labors have been fruitless,” it o) THE CONVENTIONS, Helena Remains the Temporary Capi- tal of Montana. HEeLENA, Mont., August 12.—The commit- tee on suffrage reported back without recom- mendation the proposition to subwmit woman suffrage as a separate proposition. Warren moved to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution as a separate proposition. The motion was lost on a tie vote and the question was postponed. The substitute to submnt the location of the capital, i admission in the year 1802, to a vote of the people, was amended by Luce to read thay the temporary capital be Helena ntil such election takes pla arried, Thus Helena remains the capital until 1592, A Curlous Amendment. Bissurc, N. 1., Agust 12.—The commit- tee on revision and adjustment bas com- pleted its work, and the complete constitu- tion will be submitted to the convention to-morrow. Many amendments are recom- mended, and in all probability several of them will be adopted. Among thesc is one to strike out the section wuich provides that no corporation can blac klist 10 Drovent iaborers from securing empl oyment. Tt is expected that large committees from disappointed towns will arrive to-morrow to attompt to change the voto on the capitul when it comes to the final adoption of the constitution, und some lively scenes may be witnessed. Woman Suffrage Snowed Under, OLyyria, Wash,, August 12.—The day has been spent in o fight over woman suifruge, which has been kept out of the constitution and will not be submitted to the people until next yeal Iridge moved to strike out the word *‘male” from the first section of the ar- ticle on electi hts, prescribing who shall have the right of suffrage. His motion was lost. The convention being in comumitice of the whole, an effort was made by Dundar to leave the question 0f woman suffrage o the lgsiature, but this was strongly opposed no the ground that it would continue a disturb- ing element in party politics.

That Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is tho best cure for Indigestion, oven when complicated with Li 18 proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Josoph Lake, of Brockway Centro, Mi “Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hard] had strength to drag myself about, All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all.

This idoa seemed to strike Grifiiths favorably, and he moved that the legislature should scttle tho wholo ques: tion, but this was so broad that it might let 1 both Indians and Chinese. The motion was badly snowed under. Dunbar's motion was finally lost. An offort was tnon made ta deprivo women of the right to vote at school elections, but it was defeated. The question whether woman suffrage shall bo submitted at the same time as the constitution in Octo- ber of next yoar was made a distinct party ficht, the democrats trying ta have the question submitted this yesr and the republicans to postpono it The democrats were beaten by 20 ayes 81 noes, and the whole matter goes over until Novombor, 1500, An offort was also mada toincorporate a soction giving women tho right to vote in tho convention, but the mo~ tion was badly beatet o= =y SicK HMIALH They alsoroliove Dis. tress from Dyspepsi Indigestion and T Ieariy Eating. & ner fect remody iox D neas, Nausea.
