Fageley was finea $5 and costs, amounting to §11.00, for disturbing the peace on Avenue A, pear 'I'wenty-first street. The charge ‘was preferred by Miss Katie Kvho, a musio teacher, who stated that Fageley was under the intluence of liquor and abused her most shamefully for some imaginary trouble caused by small children. Fageley's wife ‘was present at the trial, and threatens to re- te with several counter suits, one of ‘which will be for slander, Upon inspection it has been found that the money which C, P. Swanson tried to pass was not money at all, but merely an adver- tisement of & firm in Blair, Neb., gotten up to resemble a 8 bill. Ivis not believed that he is connected with the silver dollar counter- feiters who have been playing the motor line for some time past, but the authorities are . certain that he can be sent to the pen, as Lie attempted to pass the bill, which, in the evening, might easily be taken for a genuine greenback.

THOSE CHIMING SABBATH BELLS, The New Pacific Reopens Its Doors ~A Blood Thirsty Husband—A Serious Runaway—Chau« tanqua Notes. The Other Side of the Story. The story of the Ella Morgan case, in Omaha, which appeared in these columus yesterday morning, caused quite a little ripple of excitement in this city, owing to the intimate connection with the case of Dr. F. P. Bellinger, a resident physician, and the alderman from the Second ward. The report of the suspicious circumstances attonding the case, and the statements mude by a sister of the unfortunate girl, intimat- ing that an abortion had been attempted, led a reporter to look up Dr. Bellinger yestor- day, to hear his side of the story, He was found at his office, No. 614 Hroadway, and stated, in answer to the scribe’s queries, that he had heard of the tale which had appeared in the pavers, but had not read 1t. He was shown & copy of Tue Bee, and carefully perused the artice in auestion. “Well,” he coolly remarked, as he spread the paver upon his knees, ‘‘that makes quite an interesting article, and aside from the simple fact that there are many more m statements than actual truths in_it, I should not object to it in the least. Yes, indeed, 1 sball be very glad to give my side of tho case, but I will tell you in advance that there are no rare or sensational feutures connected with it, at least not from a physician’s standpoint. s just such cases are brought to our knowledge every day. 1 will also state that, so far as 1 kuow, there was no attempt made to procure an abortion on the girl. b st that I ever saw or know of Miss Ella Morgan was about five months ugo, when she came here to my office and state that she thought she was in trouble, and wanted me to help her out of it. She was not positive as to what was the matter, and 1 did not make an exumination. From what she said, I was positive that she had leucor- rhoeal trouble, and I gave her medicine for that. Shortly afterward I went to the springs and did not return until about eizht weeks ago, when she again visited me and told me positively that she was pregndnt, and also told me what she intended to do. She wanted me to give her medicine tiut would cause abortion, which I refused to do, and told her that the result of such action as she intended would probably be attended with fatal results. She said that she was unmarried and would be ruined forever if she gave birth to an illegitimate child. I then advised her to go home and make a ciean breast of it to her mother, and then go away to some other pluce where she could seck shelter in a hospital until after confine- ment, then make some arrangement for the care of the child, after which she could re- turn home, and in this way her reputation would not be lost. “In a few days she came over again and said that she was troubled with her feet and and limbs swelling, and _several other symp- toms that indicated kidney affection, and L gave her mediclue to correct that and to put her in as good condition for confinement as possible. That hus been the extent of my treatment.” “But her sister says that you visited tho house, gave personal directions about the mediclnes, which, it is alieged, you charace terized as rank poison, and éven advised briuging her to the Bluffs for treatment,” interrupted the scribe, ihen I must say that her sister son of remarkable imaginary powers,” as- serted the doctor. “I never saw her in my life that I am aware of, and would not know any of the family except Miss Ella 1f I was to see them. 1 never visited the house in my Iife and did nothing to treat the case on that side of the river. Of Dr. Soloman’s connec- tion with the cuse I know nothing. The statement made by Miss Morgan put words in my mouth that I never uttered. 1didinothing iu the case that I would not do again under similur circumstances. As for the prescrip- tions, they show for themselves. The con- tents of one Las already been published. 1f you will accompany me to Morgan’s drug store we will see what the others contained.’’ The drug store was visited and the doctor produced it, It was as follows: “For Miss M. Tint. cihbhona, 2 ox. ; tinct, aloet, 1 0z ; tint. gentian com., 2 oz.; Cascare cordial, quantity sufficient to make 8 oz One teaspoonfulevery three hours in a little water. Dr. Bellinger.” The other one referred to was No, 2322, ““I'here must be some mistake about thal remarged the prescription clerk, *as No. 2322 was tiled as far back as 1570." “Iv don’t make any difference what the pumber is,”’ said the doctor, *if they will send over the bottles I will tell them all the contents without the necessity of referring to a chemist, for 1 know what I have given, The clerk here will tell you whether I give much of these medicines, and also about my Omaha practice.” The clerk being again appealed to, said: “All I know about it is that Dr. Bellinger's prescriptions are frequently similar to this, as can be seen by referring to them, He has a number of Omaha patients, and many of them get their prescriptions filled here.” “Many of them get their prescriptions filled here and some 1n Omaha,” again inter- rupted the doctor, ““but that dosen’t affect this case. Now then, you have seen this prescription, and 1t will' be equally easy to B all the othersif you will just get the num- ers from the bottles, As far as my attempt- ing to procure an abortion is concerned, I want to say this: Iu the first place I would not attempt it under any circumstances; then, the parties were strangers to me; again, if I would have done o under ordin- ary circumstances, i this case the time of confinement was too near, and it would have boen extremely dangerous; lastly, there could have beéen no inducement for my at- tempting it, as aside from the fact that they were strangers, they were not in a situation to pay for it, and it is generally understood that doctors who do this work want ample compensation for it, The father of the child is claimed to be u general roustabout, and [ formed the impression that he was a packing house employe. He paid for one or two pre- scriptions, but not for all of them. Butif there is any doubt as to what was given, and whether there was any attempt at criminal practice, I hope that the case will be care- fully investigated, as it is & matter that can be easily sifted out, and all fuots 1n connec- tion with it clearly established. I am ready t give avy assistance that les in my power. 18 & per- S Tue Famous cash bargan house, 200 Broadway. ——— Moontight on the Lake., Don't fail to take in Lake Manawa and Manhattan beach during the moonlight even- ings.

John Scharnaw, a farmer living on the Keeline place, twelve miles east of the city, met with a severe accident yesterday after- noon, He was driving down Broadway when his horses became frightenca and started to run. The wheels struck against the motor track, near the corner of Pearl and Bro: way, and Scharnaw was thrown with terri lfm::i‘e to the grapite paving, striking on his head. He was picked up and carried in a semi-un- conscious condition to Keating’s drue store, where Dr. Seybert attended him. A terrible scalp wound was found to be the only injury sustained. Half the forehead and the entire front portion of the skull was laid bare, the scalp hanging in a large strip to one side, leaving the bone clearly exposed for a space six inches squure. By rare good fortune, the skull was not fractured, and after the wound was dressed the man was able to be removed. It was @ very close call, and tho wonder is that the man escaped alive. The horses were stopped a few rods further down the street without doing any other damage. ] —_— Dissolution Notice, The partnership heretofore existing be- tween Puce & Schnid is this day dissolved by mutual consent, John Schnid retiring.
