He became more indisposed, al- most unconscious, but finally rallied but only for a few moments. He was then suddenly overcomo and dropped to the floor and died from an apoplectic stroke. - The lioutenant had boeen in the city about two wecks, having come from Fort Du . Chesno to serve with Dr. Tempany and Mr. Hughes, of the aepartment headquar tors, 'upon a horss board for the purchase of thirty-five horses for the Ninth cavalry. Owing to the inability of the coatrac- tor to provide horses for tion by this board, work of selecting the animals been delayed and it scemed if it would require several weeks more in which to fimsh the work.

CRUSHED BY A CAISSON. since private service us . Horrible Death of Hugh McGrievey at the Shops. Hughey McGrievey, a laborer at the Union Pacific shops, was killed whilo at work yes- terday morning. Six men were opening a large iron caisson which had been taken from one of the old bridge piers. The heavy band which holds the two halves together was out and when the foroman gave out the cry, “Look out!” ail tho men escaped except McGrievey. One of the halves, which weighs three tons, st.uck and knocked him down. Ho fell on his left side and the heavy shell rolled from his ankleto s hip, crushing him fright- fully. The blood was forced to his breast and head at a terrific speed, and it 18 & wouder he was not killed instantly. The force of the blood did not break the skin of his face but it bulged h1s eyes from thoir sockets for almost an inch, The victim_was rational for thirty minutes after the accident, Dr. Galbraith, the Union Pacific surgeon, hastened to the shops and rendbred immedi ate aid, but pronounced internal injuries to be fatal. I‘ather Hielman, of the Holy Family church, also repaired to the scene to offer words 0f consolation, McGriovey was a single man, about 23 yeurs of age, and was a physical power, He lived with his parents at 2637 Blondo street. Ho had only been employed at the shops since the first of the present month, In loss than an hour after the acpident Mc- Grievey died. Corouer Drexel summoned a jury and held an inquest at the scene of the accident. The testimony of a dozen witnesses was taken, showing that the deceasod was work- ing under the castinz when it broie in_two and fell upon him, inflicting the injuries from which he died. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. Mr. Curtls Speaks a Gracefal knowicdgement to Omahn. Just before leaving on the train Sunday night Mr. William Eleroy Curtis,spacial agent in charge of the Pan-American jcongress, ailed a represeatative of Tue Bex and saic “'T shall fecl greatly obliged to you if you will convey, through the columns of tho press, the warm appreciation which the, visiting South American delegates have of the gen- erous hospitality extended to them by your city and its press. Tho exlibit of-western civilization and culture and of warm-hearted Omaha hospi- tulity was a revelation to all. The visit to Tk Beg building was ospocially enjoyed, us it was the first opbortunity that most of the visitors had had ‘or seeing # motropolitan daily on its travels from the composing room 10 vhe folding room. “Iwired Mr. Bizine this evening that our receptions had changed from an exhibit of manufacturing industey to a series of enthu- Siastic ovations, so that we had little time to do anything but to recoive the hospitable at- tentions of n generous and hospitable people. 1 ndded that perfect woather was adding pleasure to our trip, and that the United States were creating s mosy favorable im- nrossion in every section upon the guests of the nation, We leave Omaha to-night after ono of the most thoroughly enjoyable visits of our en- tire trip, and the continual hospatality of your people and your; eenerosity 1n making tho visitors the guests of the city and_meet- ing all charges, will not, T assure you, be for- gotten loug aftor those who participated ave left this country.” Ac- AMUSEMENTS, “Mamma,” the new farce comedy In which Amy Ames and Frank Deshon started out starring together five weeks ago, had its tirst production before an Omaha audience at the Grand opera house last night. It is funny, and is in the hands of a splendid cowpany, Miss Ames dropped out at St, Paul on Saturday, but her part was given to another clover woman, Miss Julia Aiken, and sho never will be missed. Mr. Deshon isa clever comediau, though he tries to imitate Francis Wilson too wuch. In comic stage business and as a singing organization the compaoy is strong, Wil H. Sloan plays the part of an Irish policeman very well, and ¥red C. Palwer, as Far Rockawsy, makes that 1'huruclcuu t what it is inteanded, an ideal tough, May Duryea, Miss Anna Jaldwell and Miss Gussie Brosch form about as fascluativg trio of stage loveliness as uuy one can wish to adinire, and they enjoy tho advautage of being very pleasing artists Miss’Caldwell and Miss Brosgh have excel- lent voices and know how to use them. Iu fact, the parts were all well playea, the plece went with & dash and was well re- coived. 1t kept the large audience in an up- roar from beginning to end and nearly every vocal number was eacored three or fous times. Considering the fact that this was Miss Aiken's first struggle with the princi- pal star part, that of “Mamwa,” she de- serves grout crodit. The same may be said of Tom Dayoall, who succoeded Jako Hen- ;n_::.l,yu acAllister Sherry, a swell law. Deserving of Confldence, —There 1s no articlo which so richly deserves the eatire con- fidence of the commuuity as Browu's lron- chial Troches. Those suffering from asth- watic and bronchial diseuses, coughs or colds sbould try them. Price 2 cents, WHY HE VETOED IT. Mayor Broatch's Refusal to Sign the Viaduct Ordinance, Mayor Broatch Lias vetoed the ordinance giving the Union Pacific $150,000 tn bonds for vinauet and depot purposes, and in a communication to the council this evening will explain his reasons for 8o doing. “The matter stands this way,” said Mr. Broatch last night. ‘'L have consulted with the city attorney and wo have agreed thet as the ordmance stands the city’s interests are mot suMciently vrotected. This is not a question of policy atall, but in the interests of the city. I cannot explain at length this evening, but in my communication there are reasons that, I am certain, will satisfy the public that tho right steps havo been taken. The company wants the city bonds placed I the hands of a trustee, and will guarantee $200,000 in security, 80 the officials say, but_in this case 1 want o be absolutely sure that everything 18 all right.” NO REGISTRATION. The City Hegistrars Decline to Obey the Council. In conflict with the registration law, the council at its last moeting ordered tho regis- trars of election to sit every day this weck at their respoctive registration headquarters to record voters for the forthcoming election. Under the statute, registration may take place this weck only on Friday and Satur. day. 1n a canvass of nearly all the wards of the v, it was found that the council’s resolu- tion had not been obeyed and generally for the reason that it was thought it would be vetoed to- night by the mayor. ‘The rogistrars at the first precinct of the Third ward, and the first precinct of the Fourth ward did not open their books yester~ day morning and;will not until Friaay next. said they had not been notifieq to ro- ceive registrations yesterday and the under- standing was that the mayor had vetoed or would veto the ordinauce authorizing the books to bo opened this week. ey aro also of the opinion that but httle over a third of the voters can register upon the remaining days. Captain Jones, who is one of the registrars of the Third ward in tho second preeinct, stated that inasmuch as the mayor would veto the action of the council and believing that the action was illegal he and the other members ot the board decided to sit as regis- rars on tho days specified by la Tho regmstrars of the Second ward led to 1t inan appearance at tho designated place. Inthe Fifth ward the registration books were closed, Several persons calied to re- cord their names but were refused. The board considered the ordinance passed by the council as void, as it _was in direct con- flict with the state law. There was a free ox- pression of citizens about the room, however, that the registration law was unconstitu- tional. The mayor has written his veto of the council’s resolution and in it says that their action 1s clearly in violation of the state law, which designates the duys upon which regis- tration shall bo observed, and those days on He also takes the ground that it is not within the power of a municipal government to puss upon the validity of a state law. Too Late for Action. The quo warranto proceedings instituted nominally by R. S. Hall and Charies Ogden agawmst the supervisors of registration mn the second precinct of the Fourth ward, will be heard by the supreme court on the h day of November, Sheritf Coburn received sub- paenas yesterday morning for Alexander Mclntosh and C. V. Hannan, the supervisors against whom the proceedings were insti- tuted, ordering them to appear beforo the supreme court on the day named. This settles the matter so far as its effect on the county election is concerned, as the registration law must be observed until a decision as to its constitutionality is reachod. FIRST WARD REPUBLIOANS, The Political Situation {s.Intelli* gently Discussed. The republicans of the First ward met in Hoffman’s hall on South Thirteenth strect last night. In the absence of President Cornish, Lee Estelle presided. George Heim- rod, candidate for cvunty treasurer, when called upon to, speal stated that the only point which he desired to impress upon the members of the republican party of the First ward was. the necessity of voters registering, so that o falr expression of the people might be obtained. *‘WhileIam a canaidate,” he said, ‘I am not afraid to let the people say whethor I shall or shall not be elevated to that position, I am willing to abide by the decision of the people.” Mr. Heimrod was greeted with & hearty ap- plause, Peter Boysen and Charley Mack were placed on the list as candidates for constable, and William Dahl as candidate for assessor. Judge Lytle took the tioor and discussed the political situation at some length. He turned his attention to the prohibition move- ment, and said: “A great many people are in a quandary. I have heard some of them say that they are afraid to vote the ropubli- can ticket because it means pronibition, Now, Iwant to say to vou that we are not advocates of prohibition, 1 feel contident that Douglas county will, when it comes to a test, give a rousing majority ugainst prohi- bition—prohibition that does not prohibit; probibition that menaces the wdustries of country and clogs the wheel of progress. 1t we have prohibition, so_sure will we have vacaut houses and vacant stores that are mow occupied 1n this city., Our banks will have less capital, and thoy would need less, becauso our business transactions would ve seriously and aanger- ousiy impaired. Now, L move that this club place itself on record, 1udividually and col- lectively, as being unaiterably opposed to prohibition.” The motion was unanimously passed. An adjournmont was then taken until hursday ovening uext, when a grand rally will be held, to which all the republican clubs in the varwous wards of the city will pe invited. Good speakers will be present on that oc- casion. Seventh Wara Republicans. The Soventn ward ropublican club met at Toft's nall, at 1213 Park avenuo, last even - 1ng, with Mr. C. L. Thomas in the chair and Dr. N. L Benson acting as secretary. The matter of visiting the Seventh ward republican club on Thursday evening came upand was discussed at length ; full arrango- ments were made, and on motion of Mike Lee all the members were requostod to moot at the headquarters at 7 o'clock Thursday evening and go ina body to the Sixth ward club moeting. A motion was made and_carried that the Seventh ward band be iuvited to accompany the club on that trip. In response to numerous calls, Mike Maul, caudidate for corouer, came forward and made a_characteristic specch. Mr. R. A. L. Dick, chajrman of the First ward republican club, made a stirring speech, urging the members of the club to vote for the nomi- nees of the republican convention, paying each candidate o glowing tribute. On motion of Mr, House a vote of thauks was extended 0 Mr, Dick for his able effort Central Buergerverein, The central club of the buergerverein will will hold a mass meeting next Wednesday at 8 o'clock in Kessler's hall. Invitations will be sout to all the ward clubs as well as to the candidates. The main object of the meeting will bo to deteramine whou the club will sup- pol Opposes the Cut. Maria C. Beecher secured an order from Judge Walkeley yesterday the restraiuning city and the Omaha motor and street railway companies and Hugh Murphy, coutractor, from carrying out the ordinance passed by the council two weeks ago changing the grade of Burt street from Pleasant street to Thirty-sixth street, The petition filed in the case is & very voluminous one aund recites that the ordinance ordering the change was passod without the wishes of the property owners on Burt street havieg been con- sulted. The argumonts for @ permaueut re- straluing order will be heard on Wednesday. MAIL FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN On November 17 It Will Fly With Lightning Speed. FORTY-FOUR MILES AN HOUR. The Effect of the Recent Understand- ing Between the Postmaster General and the U. P.and 8. P, Roads-—Notes From Shore to Shore. For some time back a deal has been pend- ing between the Union Pacific and the South- ern Pacide, whereby & fast mail routo was to be cstablished between Omaba and San I'rancisco and between Omaha and Portland. Several months ago the deal as far as the government was conzorned was closed, but the arbitrary stand taken by tho Southern Pacific has delayed the consummation of the deal. After closing nogotiations with Postm: tor-Genoral Wanamaker for a fast wail cirouit, Assistant General Manager Dickin- son, on behalf of the Union Pacitie, went to San Francisco, whore he sucoecded in gain- ing the censent of the officials of the dila- tory road to the through fast mail project . He returned to Omatia and submitted the matter to Vice-President Holcombe, A duy orso ufter his return, however, a_telegram came to the effect that the officials of the Southern Pacific desired to reconsider their action, The matter again assumned a doubtful ap- pearance, But, late Saturday afternoon, & dispatch was received to the effect that the arrangement was at length satistactorily ad- Justed. Asa consequence, two fast mail trains, to be known as No. 3 and 4. will be put on, run- niog solid between Omaha and San Fran- cisco and Omaba and Portland. These trains east-bound will be scheduled at the remark- able speed of forty-four miles per hour be- tween the Pacific co and this city, and west-bound will be scheduled at forty miles per hour between Omaha and the Pacific coast. Under the new time-card, to take offoct November 17, Nos. 3 and 4 passcnger trains of the present schedule will be abolished. I'ne through Chicago-Denver service will be continued and, #s 80on as proper arrange- ments can be made, the through seryice will be extended to include all points between Chicago and the Pacitic coast on tie line of the Northwestern, Union Pacifio and tie Central branch of the Southern Pacific. Another important move connected with the new time-card is the putting on of an ad- ditional passenger train between Lincoln and Sioux City on the Columbus division. ‘This will give the patrons of that road a double daily train service, there being only one train operated on the division at the present timo, The following is the new !lllllei‘lll'd which will take effect November T Nos. 3 and 4, passonger between Council Blufts and Ogden, abolished. West-bound trains—No. 5, the Chicago- Denver train, will leave Council Bluffs at 0:80 a. m., Omaha 9:55 a. m., instead of 10:05 & m. as at present, arriving in Denver at ¥ a. m, the following day. ~This train will handlo all the local business between Omaha and Denver, west bound. No. 1 will be known as the Overland Fast Express. It will leave Council Bluffs at 7:30 p. m., Omaha p. m., arrive at Ogden at 10 a . the second morning out, and at San Francisco at 945 p. m. the third day out from Omaha. It will also mak nnections for Portland, arriving there at 6 p. w. on the evening of the third day out trom here.

Last-bound trains—No. 2 with connections from Portland and Denver will arrive here at7:10 a. m. No. 4 fast mail will leave San Francisco at 6:30 p. m., Portland at 7 a. m, the following mopning,arriving in Omaha at4:15 p. m. This train in addition to throngh day coaches will also have Portland end San Francisco sicep- ers, No. 6, the Denver-Chicago express will leave Denvor at 8 p. m., arrive in Omaha at 8:45, p. m. and Chicago at 5:40 a. m.

Thisschedule ‘will be carried out to the letter,and,n the lan- guage of the ofticials of the Union Pacific, will render both the local and through ser vice most complete, ‘l'his is the last move in connection with the establishment of a through mail service between the Atlantic und Pacific oceans. Under the terms of the agroemeut, the mail in transit from New York to San Francisco or vice versa, will be trausferred but twice, One transfer will be at Chicago and the other at Omaha. Captan W. H. White, superitendent of the railway mail service, says that under this change the time of passage of mail east bound, from ocean to ocean, will be reduced forty-five hours, and west bound twenty-five hours and thirty-five minutes. In addition to tho mail cars each ot these tramns will have two Pullman sleepers, one destined to San Fraucisco and the other Portlund. They will be separated, of course, going west, at Green river. The Milwaukee Has Withdrawn. General Agent Nash, of the Milwaukee road, states that the through sleening car arrangements that existed between his road and the Union Pacific were brought to a close by the Milwaukee road taking off its car. He also stated that the action of the Milwau- kee was owing to the trains on the Union Pacific being joccasionally late, under wh cireumstances the former would have to de luy its departure or go without u sloeper, Raliroad Notes, Two new engines are out of the shops for service on the main line of the Union Pacific, 1.

Cuicaco, Oct. 28.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bes.| The Ohio campaign is a hum- mer,” says Hon. Wilham 1. Mason, the Ch cago congressman, who has just returned from a speaking tour in the Buckeye stute. The Standard Oil company wants to get Payne back in the senate, und as a result the democratic campaign fund is full, The in- terest manifested is shown by the fact that 1 the eities where each voter is compelled to register the registry is almost as highas during a national contest. In Columbus the total vote is registered with the exception of about sixty. The fight made against Kora- ker, and which, it is claimed, will 10s¢ him lots of votes, 1s because he 18 running for his third term, but while the democrats were howling about how many votes he was going 1o lose in consequence, I did not see or hear a single republican make that point against him. The only ones 1 heard say it were dem- ocrate, and they would not vote for him any- way. Party hoes are drawn very close, and I am satisfied from what I hear that Foraker will lose a few votes in Cincinnats from the saloonkeepers. His gains, however, n other parts of the state will be large and it will be in localities where the democrats are not suspecting 1t. 1 heard the democrats suy that Campbell, the democratic candidate, will lose thousands of votes for taking Allan 0. Myers around the state with him. Allan G. Thurman, the democratic god in Ohio, is very mad at Campbell's actious, and says Myers ought to be in the penitentiary. I will say that if the election day proves to be o bright, clear day Foraker will be re-elected by 15,000 majority. My reasons for thinking 80 wre that a ‘still huat’ in Ohio means democratic victory, while a loud, blustering campaign, such this one is, meaus a re- publican victory with a roiusng majority. - Boulanger's Succossfal Rival Dying, Panis, Oct. 28.—|Special Cablegram to Tug Bre.| M.

Tuk Bek.]—Until Saturday it was a subject | of general comment that the present politi- | cal campaign has been the quietest this city has seen for many years, But on Fri- day night John K. Cowen, leader of the in- dependent democrats, announced that there would be an cxpose on tho following night of several men whom he had been accusing for vears as ballot-box stuffers, and on ac- count of which charge® he had beon callod a libeller. Expectation ran high, and there was quite a scené in Concordis hall, when the great crowd present saw seated on the stage on eithor side of Mr. Cowe Goodman and Bill Harig, who have cently been among the most notoriot® ward boelers 1n town. Cowen presented first William Harig, a confederate soldi Harig cnarged United States Senator Gor- man with buying votes at $2 api and pro- curing the escape of convicts from the stute prison to do nis dirty political work. One man let out on Gorman's influence was Burke, the noted bank robber. Harig him- solf had repeated scores of times at Gor- man’s direct orde; Charlie Goodman, who was introduced as aunion soldier, is a wit as oll as a tough. e toid in a very quaint way how, a8 n gen- eral, ho had sent his army of répeaters Lo Elkridge Landing and cacried a republican precinc for Gorman in Novewber, 1574, He said 1 went to Elkridge Landing with instruc- tions. Arthur P.

Next morning at 5 o'clock I_told the men to band at the polling place. I was told that at the least calculation 200 negroes had formed the night before at [ron Ore, The uegroes formed in line to vow, 1 strung twenty men on one side and twenty men on the other, and the negroes were in the center. ‘Then we picked a quarrel among oursclyes and tho lic passed between us. Wo_pulled out our pistols and commenced to shoot at each other, but we shot negroes accidentally on purpose, and the conseguence wus the negroes ran, Wo ran them into Baltimore county, and according to the history of that county'--Howard county—not a negro votod that day, and we all went there and repeated twice and we elected Gorman over Orson Adam: *‘Every mayor of Baltimore since 1875 has been elected,not by the citizens of Baltimore, but by the roughs and toughs of New Yorlk, ;\'llmy\nuwu, Del, Washiogton and Alexan* ria,’ until re. BURIED IN EFFIGY. Pecullar Services for King Luis by KRhode Island Portuguese, PROVIDENCE, R. L, Oct. 28,—|Special Tele- gram to 'ue Bee)—In a little wooden church, heavily hung with black and re- lieved only by the colors of the ensigns of the United States and Portugal, a curious ceremony was performed yesterday in a for ign tongue over an empty coffin. It was & rvice in wemory of King Luis of Portugal n Father Serapa's church of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the chiel obscrvers were the Portuguese beneficial societies of this city, The brethren haa assembled at their ball neurly a mile from the church and marcned thither, ~escorting & hearse drawn by six horses and preceded and followed by outriders, The cofn was @ costly wooden casket, covered with broadcloth, No portrait of King Luis and no suitable uniforms could be procured us de- sired, 60 tie bior was without the lnsiguia of royalty, otherwise the appointmonts were complete. A baud playiog a dirge led tho line to the church, but the casket was not taken inside until after mass. ‘The bier was then carried forward to o place before the altar, and was there raised high above the Leads of the nudi- ence, BSix great candles were placed about while the altar b Leld two more ut the head and avother boy bLetween these two held aioft a cross. The funersl service followed. It was in- troduced by prayer, aul tten Kev, Fatber Seraps pronounced s eulogy upon the life of Luis. Prayers for the dead, the swinging of the ocensor and responsive singiog by the choir followed. After the coremony the hearse and bier were escorted back Lo the society’s hall. U. 8.
