Yesterday afternoon Sheriff O'Neill at- tached about forty head of standard bred horses, harness, road carts, sulkies, ote., the property of C. E. Mayne, of Omaha, which have been located at Union Driving park for some time. It is understood that the attach- ment was issued in the interest of Omaha parties, who are interested in a settlement with the Bank of Omaha, which failled some time ugo, and with which Mr. Mayne was connected. About two months ago, it was reported that Mr. Mayne was about to send over about seventy-five head of horses and colts to the park, to be broken and teained, and then put upon the market. About for head were .t over, aud have been he since that It is alleged that the training idea was all a myth, however, as a number of the animals have been in a pasture near Cres- cent City, belonging to Mr. Mayne's uncle, w .

Yesterday afternoon the corner stone of the new Fifth avenue Methodist church was laia in due form. The startiug of this church enterprise was somewhat experi- mental, but sufticient financial backing has been secured to make it no longer an experi- ment. ‘The ceremony of the laying of the corner stone proved an interesting one. There was a goodly sized audience. Among those present were about thirty divines, a number of them being from Omaha and others being of Iowa, and en route for the annual conference at Denison. Rev. W. T. Smith, D. D., presiding elder of this district, presided at the exercises vesterday, He read the ritualistic pream- ble, after which a hymn was sung, the choir leading consisting of Messrs. Prouty, Mrs, Roff and Mrs. Evans, with Mrs. Campbell as organist. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. S. Hooker. Appropriate selections of scripture were read by Rev. T. McHenry Stuart, of Corn- ing. Reyv. T. B. Lemon, of Omaha, read a hymn, which was then sung. Bishop Warren gave the address. He wilderness and traced along the history of corner-stones, gradually connecting them with Methodism, and theun giving some facts concerning the wonderful growth of this denomination. Rev. Mr. Alexander, the pastor of the new church, read the contents of the box, which was placed in the corner stone, and gave a history of the organization, The box cou- tained the Methodist Discipline for 1888, the M. E. almanac, 1830, the Central Curistian Advocate, the Northwestern Advocate, the circular and invitation to the day’s sel icos, the statement of the church orzani tion, names of trustees, city papers, District Methodist. ‘The church organization was effecteda in January, 1889, In June the bourd of trustees was incorporated, consisting of S. S. St John, J. Stockdale, C. B. Howard, A. Mitc ell, A. R. Highsmith, W. W. Cones, D. L, Harcourt. The stoue was placed in position by the contractor, Mr. J. P. Weaver, and the dedi- cation of the stone was made in due form, A collection was taken and the services closed with the doxology. The new church is to have a brick founda- tion and a frame superstructure. It will cost #,000. The plans show it to be a very attractive looking structure. It will have a main auditorium and three_smaller rooms which can be opened or closéd at will, thus making the seating capacity of the church conveniently elastic. There has been sccured for the church building about $2,000 in subscriptions, and the church extension society wili lend §1,200. The remaining amount needful is now being sought for, and the subseription list is going the rounds with good prospects of having the whole amount raised before the building is completed . . —_—— Kerr & Gray, real estate, 505 Pirst avenue. dadesl S.

It will be very much more pleasaut to have & uumber go from this city, and the mapagement of the corn palace promises.to muke special arrangement to en- tertain them. As they have now had two years' experience there is no doubt but that their promise will be fully carried out.

As is the custom at this institution, Deputy Warden Carl Barr at noon made the count of the prisoners, which was found to be correct. As it was bath day, and Winters did not put in an ap- pearance for his toilet, suspicion was aroused and his whereabouts sought for, de - veloping the fact that he was missing. A vigorous search was made, the wall guaras were doubled, and large fires built about the walls to aid the parties searching. The search was continued until 7 o'clock next morning, when the warden determined to make a personal investigation of each cell, It was not long until Winters was found in conviet Clark's cell under the mattress sweating vigorously. He had left his prison clothes and shoes out- side the cell house, and put on another suit of stripes from the line, intending to convey the idea that he had citizens clothes and had made his escape. Both _were immediately taken to the dungeon.

More Discriminations, Des Moixes, Ia., Sept. 10.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.)—The railroad commis- sioners reccived a complaint to-day from the shippers of Davenport referring to certain alleged discriminations by the Burlington, Cedar Rapias & Northern aiid the Rock Island roads against Iowa cities and in favor of Chicago. They charged that local rates over beth lines were used instead of one joint taraff, and that these two locals were greater than the percentageof the interstate joint rate which Chicago enjoyed.

LEMags, Ia., Sept. 10.—|Special Telegram to T Bee.]—Since the organization of the Law and Order league several ‘*holes in the wall” here have been raided and booze captured by the city marshal. A few days ago the degjocratic mayor, Priestly, and two democratic memuvers of the city council se- cretly addressed & communication to the marshal, instructing him to leave the holes in the wall alone and not try to enforce the state law, but to collect the dog tux and see after the sanitary condition of the city and leave the other things to the sheriffs and coustables. The sanitary condition of the city is perfect, and the marshal bas never neglected auy duty, 8o this instruction by the mayor to the marshal to violate and defy the state law has brought a storm of indigna- tion. from law abiding citizens, and democrats join with the republicans in de nouncing him, A majority of the council are in favor of enforcement of the law. An effort of Mayor, Priestly to withdraw the avarchistio document failed; 80 it was printed to-day in the Sentinel, & republican paper. The Billings Case.
