THE POT BEGINS TO BOIL. Manifested Anxioty and Increassd Activity Among Politiclans, DISTRICT JUDGESHIP GOSSIP, Hon. Richard Berlin Throws Himself Into the Breacn—Jeff Mageath's New Happiness— Pointers on the Situation. Local Politics. The contest over the brogans of Judge Groff has created quite a stirand buzzamong the lawyers. The elevators inthe New York Life building are kept running every ten Ll nds with messengers, and whispering caucuses are being held in e ridor. The bar association meeting to discuss tho merits of claimants will be held on Saturday evening. Up to Monday night only four candi- dates were in the field, viz: Lee Estelie, C.F. Breckenridge, H. J. Davis and GeorgoW. Ambrose. Yesterday morning anow candidate whas sprung in the person of Jospeh E. Clark- son, who, it 18 said, has been persuaded to allow his name to be used in this connoction. This may complicate mutters very much. With the bar association divided amony five candidates no one jable to receive n ma- ority or even a respoctable plurality, If the ar ussociation splits up the fight will be transferred to the parly conventions with a reasonable probability that if the republicans do not nominate a man of fair sunding and ability an independent candidate will be forced into the field with a fair prospect that such a candidate will be elected. “The probabilities ara that if the bar agrees upon an available and competent republican of good character he will be endorsed by all conventions, There 18 a possibility that Governor Thayer may have something to say ‘with regard to Juage Groff's successor, but it is doubtful whether he will do anything until he hears an expression of the bar asso- cintion, The fight over the collectorship of customs at this port 1s still waxing warmer. Intrigue End underground work are the order of the ny. T, C. Bruner claimed that he had a “sure thing” on the vacancy that would be created by Collector Jordon’s resignation, conse- quently the surprise thrust upon him when he read in that W. H. Alexanaer would undoubtedly be recommended for the appointment almost set him wild. There are doubts, however, about Mr. Alexander’'s chances. Senator Manderson said the other day that he favored him, and Congressman Connell thought a majority of the delegation would be willing to recom- mend him for the place, but at that time they did not anticipate that ‘the matter would de- velop into u red-hot fight. Mr. Phillips, who was an aspirant for Jor- dan’s place, hias dropped the fight and agreed to accept the deputy collectorship. ‘With this state of affairs to take advantage of the Hon. Dick Berlin has boldly leaped into the breach and de- clared himself an aspirant for Jordan's job. In doing this the handsome Kichard nec sarily takes himsell out of the race for reg- ister of deeds; consequently, Jeff Mageath’s navpines has been increased. 1t is reported, also, that Jeff and Dick bad a mutual under- standing before the lutter fully made up his mind to seek the government sit. Beriiw's withdrawal leaves J. B. South- ard a clear field for the republican nomina- tion for register of deeds, unless there aro candidates who have not made themselves known. Mageath inagmes he will have no trouble to defeat Southard. But there are no signs indicative of an absolute cortainty that Richard will capture the collectorship. Just where the main fight in the impending campaign will center is difflcult to predict. It may ve on the oftice of sheriff both before and after the conventions. Billy Coburn,the present incumbent, wants a third term, but Mike Lee is bitterly opposed to breaking down what he terms un established precedent and is doing everything in his power to se- cure the republican nomination. Mike Maul has also been mentioned in this connection. Maul's candidacy depends on the wish of his partner, Johun Drexel, who desires the demo- cratic nomination, though it w stated that he did not care to £o 10 unless the re- publicans_seleot Lee. If they renominate Coburn, Drexel thinks he can get wlong two years more us coroner. Councilman John Boyd is auother dom- inating spwit in the democratic ranks anx- ious to succeed Coburn, George Heimrod and John Groves are the only republican aspirants for treasurer, while the opposition talks about Adam Snyder, Truman Buck, Buclid Martin, W. A. L. Gibbon and Jacob Hungate. Jim Allen, of the Eightn ward, and Arthur Briggs, would like to try their hands in the county clerk's office. Mike Roche contends that he will be renominated by his party, though Pat Ford argues strongly against him. Pat wants his son-in-law, John O’Brien, to have that oftice, and will consent toany kind of a trade to get him there, The county judgeship seems to be in dis- repute, though there has been some ta'k that Louis Berka desires promotion from the foul smelling precincts of the central police station to more congenial and better quarters. It is altogether probable, therefore, that Judge Shielas, who is sure of the democratic nom- ination, will have un opportunity o measure strength with “'his honor.” Then comes the election of commissioners 1n the Second and Fourth districts, now held by Mount and Corrigan, democrats, both of whom want to be re-elected. Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. Ben Knight of the Ninth ward, it is tnought will be put up by the republicans todown Me. Mount. Over in Corrigan’s district, Jim Walsh, Pat MeArale, John Bicke and John Lempke, have designs on his scalp, The coroner prediction forecasts a very protty fignt for that office. Tt will be a battle with physicians and cofiin dealers arrayed aginst each other, and may be fought with an immense amount of cutiwg, slashing and embalming. The doctors argue that a great many inquests can be prevented by holding post mortems. On the other hand, the under- takers assert that a post mortem costs the county three times as much as an inquest, but the cofiin shop has had the coroner pat- ronage 80 long that they ought to give the doctors a chance for at least two years, William Neve, of the ond ward, will go into the dJemocratic couvention against Mount for the commissionershi John Paulsen’s death created a vacancy in the Sixth senatorial district, which must be flled at the coming election, Senator Manderson dictated a letter yos- terday, recommending W, H. Alexander for appointment as collector for the port of Omaha, which was forwarded Lo the presi- dent.

STEVENS, Ticket oftice 1805 Farnam, Gen’l W. A, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1880 UNWARRANTED ARREST, Peter Goos ©alled to Account for a Mistake, Poter Goos was very much surprised at noon yesterday, when Detective Pat Horrigan slapped his hand on his shoulder and re- marked: “You are my prisoner.” Goos is the proprietor of a hotel, and s an oid citizen, On the 20th of this month he gave Oity Treasurer Rush & check for 8504, and received & city tax receipt. Rush held the check for about twenty-four hours, and after deposit- ing it learned that it was protested as Goos had no money in that institution—the Bank of Commerce. Goos suys that at the time he wrote the check e had over $13,000 on deposit, but that the next day he drew & check for $15,403.90, “I' did not know," said Goos to a BEw reporter, “that the Rush check had notbeen paid. In fact did not think of it after giving it out. 'The first indication I had of the affair was when I went home at noon. Rush had been there in_the forenoon and told my wife that if the matter was not fixed up by noon, he would have me arrested. 1 only had 250 in cash 1n my pocket and I immedi- ately sent that up to Rifsh, telling bim that I would pay the balance this afternoon. o response was a policeman, 1 will settle the matter at once.” Gnos waa arraigned and gave bail in the sum of £1,200 until to-da Tn tho after- noon Goos returned the receipt to Rush and the prosecution was dropped.

ONE DOLLAR PER MILE, The Railroads Would Tranpor: the Kkers at that Price The latest proposition made by the Mis- souri ific and the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Councit Bluffs regarding the bankers' train is to run a special at the rate of $1 per mile each way, 1o tickets to be sold. Th distance would be 400 miles which would n. cessitate au outluy of $400 for transporta- tion. Iuelid Martin, president of the board, was given these figures but saia that thatbody could not afford to meet them. The delegation of Omaha bankers selected to attend the national couvention which meets on Thursday, left for Kansas City last vight.

It attracted the attention of many peonte and it wus thought fora time vhat nothivg woutd avert bloodshed, A herder named Henry Robinson, mount- ed, was auictly watching near the inte tion of Sixteenth and Corby, a numver of cows which he daily tends for people resid- ing in that neighborhood. Across the prairie came a buggy, rolling heavily and luden, it is alleged, with three boozy mortals who had been over to Cut-Off island on a dual engagementof drimking and hunting. When they approacbed young Robinson they deliberately droye off the road and into the herder’s horse. The latter was saved LY An iNStANLANCOUS movemont - response to the rein and he wheeled, Robinson swung his great lash in the aiv and brought it down with a resounding crack upon the head of one of the brawlers, In the buggy was a gun. It was hastily graspea by another of the two who comi- menced to load it with the greatest hasto, Robinson put spurs to his horse and gal- loped like the wind, He was followed by the carriage, but had rounded the corner on to Sixteenth from the alloy between Sixteenth and Fifteenth before the gunner could take aim. He flow to his house, procured two loaded revolvers and started to find his pursuers, I t to meet_ them now,” he said, “and we'll see who'll pet the worst of it.” The others, meanwhile, tried to track him. They drove up and down Sixteenth, Fif- teenth, Ohio, Lucas and Corby streets, down on the bottoms and all through the vicinity, but failed to fiud him, At tue same time he was secking them, without the same succs The dual chase atiracted great attention. Women stood with bated breath lest the parties should meot, because nothing could avert bloodsbed and loss of life. Finally Oficer Everle, who, by the way, has a beat of Thirty-two blocks, arrived on the scene, whereupou the carriage roysterers departed. He telephoned to central station to head them off, as they went to town, but the achievement was not accoriplished.

When the visiting bishop—a large, kinaly-looking gentleman with a very bald head—arose to speak he was greeted with great and prolonged applause. When silence reigaed, he saud that he pur- posed discussing some (uestions interesting surictly to Methodist Episcopal church mem- bers, and he would like to remind others that such was really the case. After throw- ing out this pointer, the bishop paused. “0b, well!” coutinued the bishop, with a nervous rub of his hunds, “I of course do not > understood as being narrow- » and te immediately procecded with rded disquisition on the sin of narrow-ming ness, He said that it was a bad thing for a man to desert a cause by 1 dislike for the personnel of He had his opinion of a man who would go back on the United states because Benjamin Harrison occuvied the pres- idential chai The moral quali- ty who gives when he he preacher and withihoids when it is ise, he thought to be bad, very bad.
