He had temi-educated tough to which his gold eye rought in. the r of n glasses contribated. o wore a pair of dark pants, with stripes of a lighter shade, a dark vest, & chinchilla sack coat, white shirt, and 8 blue and white scarf loosely tied. His com- plexion was 4 shade between brown and swarth and the hair was as black as that of an Indian. The teeth were pearly whiteand readily attracted attention. The lips were shaped somewhat like those of a negro, but were by no means 8o thick. The hair ‘was low cut and reached over the forehead until within an inch of the eyebrows. From this forehead, the cranium reactiad abruptly ups ward, the crown at the top being abnor nally high and round.

Ho said that he bad been n Omaba a couple of weoks ago wtd had bought some of the jow- olry there, Tho shoriff asked him if he did not say he had bought all of his jewelry there and Neal #aid he did not say anything of the kind. He insistod that ho had ad mitted having bought some of his jewelry there, but tho rest had been bought else- where, “Where wero you in South Omaha lasti” #[ was never in South Omaha.”! “When did you ever pass through iv!” “I was never in it.” | “Did you not buy o ladys' watch there?” Where did you buy the lady’s watch you pawned (" “1 bought it in Denver." “Wheret " “Well, 1 ain't going to say anything until 1 see an attorney.’ He then turned woward with ill-feigned simplicity, was murdered (" he sheriff was silent. “Was there any one murdered?” Neal ugzain nsked, and noticing that the sheriff felt disposed to make 10 reply, he said: “Yes, I know there was somebody murs dered, because T saw it in the paper.” MNeal's breathing was heaty and his eyes Bought other directions thau those of the correspondent's. Otnherwise, THE FELLOW WAS UNMOVED, He could not be induced to talk furtber. He asked ibe sheriff when he expected the people from Omaba and was told they might arrive tonight or tomorrow. He then handed the following mnote to the shoriff, which was addressed to a Mrs. Wil- son, a landlady with whom he had been boarding. 1t shows THE SCOUNDREL'S CONSUMMATE COOLNESS in making preparation for his journey to the juil or perbaps gibbet as 1f he were going to his bridal: “Mns.

Neal's Transtormation From a Cow- Doy to a Dude Explained. Additional facts concerning the move- meots of the wan Neal i ihis city were learned yesterday. A% about noon of the 7th, the day on which he bought the watcles snd small jowelry at the pawnshop, corner of Eleveath ava Farnam streets, be weat into the ofice of Stepte s:n's livery barn, Tenth und Haroey, wud asked if be might vae the ¢t e @ communicate with South Omana. He was intorwea by C. ¥. Willinms, wa employe of the bars, aud the only oue in W the office at the time, that he might, providing he pald the 10 cents toll which was charged up against tho ofice for messages going out- side the city limits. Neal paid the dime and stepped to the telephone. His attempt to use the instrument was, however, very awk- ward, and showed that “e knew little or nothing about it. Finally ne got it partially to working, but suddenly became so nervous ns to appear to Mr. Williams to have lost almost entire control of nis voice. Then he asked Mr. Williams to telephone for him, asking him to call up the Transit house, South Omaha, and ~say that he, “‘the man who left word there,” nad sent for the trunk, and wanted it sent to the Ci hotel instead of the Cozzens house. A rep! of *'all right"” camo back and Neal went out. So far a8 can be calcvlated it was only a few minutes later when Neal went to the City hotel, opposite the stables on Haraey, registered and took dinner. The person be: hind the desk at the tume was Peter Hahn. Mr. Hahn says that when Neal went to rogistor his name he was ter- ribly excited ana apologized for the trem. bling of his hand. Ho_registored as “E. D, Livingston,” but put down no place of resi- dence. The writing is almost ideutically tho samo as that in which he endorsed his name on the cheek ho received in payment for the cattle, and the fac-simile of which appeared in Tiue Bee a few days ago, together with that of the bill of sale, A schioolboy would detect tho fact of the signa- tures having beon made by the same person, The one on the register is somewhat more scrawly than any of those made previousiy, thus dicating that the effect of the fiend's crime was jutensifying iu its action upon himself. In @ brief, passing convorsation with Mr, Hahn, Neal sud ° that he had fordered his trunk and satchels sent to tte Coz: ns houso first, vut finding that it was closed he bad cencluded to try the City hotel. After he had eaten his din- ner his trunk and_two tan colored satchels came. Neal was in the hotel office when the luggage came and ordered it put down in one corner of the room. Then he askod to have it all taken up t ‘@ room, a8 he wanted to change his clothes and didn’t like to open his trunk and_satchels in the ofico before everybody, Mr. Hatn told him there was nobody around to take the things up. Then Neal said, "Oh, well, never minds give me a koy to a room.” A key was given him. Then he picked up the valises aud went up stairs. ‘When he entered the hotel Mr. Hahn says ho was dressed in a rather rough style, hav- 10g on & suit of old *kind of gray” clovaes, a dirty looking handkerchief around his neck and his feet encased in farmer looking boots, His general make-up gave Mr. Hahn the impression that he wasa stockman or something of the kind. He scemed, how- ever, to have just had a shave and a hair cut. While he was up stairs Mr. Hahn had oc- casion to go up. and in passing the room which he had given to Neal he elanced in, the door being partially open. Neal saw him and remarked: “I won't muss up the bed any, a8 1'm not gowg to stay all night. 1 only wanted the room to change my clothes in.” He reappenred in the office abouta quar- ter of an hour later—''a completely changed man,” as Mr. Haho puts it. He bad on & new sack suit of black clothes, a derby hat, shoes of the congress gailer style, white stirt and standing collar, haudsome necktie, cuffs, etc. Mr. Haho said had to look at his Ruest twice in order to assure hiwseif that it was the same man. Neal went straight to his trunk, and, standing with his back to the desk, proceeded to hurriedly open the trunk and ove of the satchels, take the o1d clothes he had cast off from the lat- ter and throw them into the former and then lock botn with a bang. Then he went out upon the straet—probably, according to a close calculation of the time, directly over to the pawnbroker's 0 make the purchases of jewelry. About half an hour later, or about 1 o'clock, he returned to the hotel accompanied by an expressmun and wagon. He paid his bill, had the trunk and one satchel loaded into the express wagon, caught up the other satchel &nd flew out, motioning the driver to g0 south on i enth street. After being wone a couple of minutes or so Neal returned. say- ing he had forgotten his umbrells, which was ‘immediately handed him from behind the office desk, and he again disap- peared. Mr. Haho s the umbrella had & silver or oxidized handle of a somewhat fancy pattern, He says the trunk was greenish - tinued, and bad heavy wrought iron or'metal corners. Mr. Hahn said that while Neal was out" he thought the trunk was somewhat, in the way aund he lifted it around a hittle. In aoing 8o he discovered that iv was 80 light that ho thought at the time there couldn't be scarcely anything ‘n 1t The fact that Neal did not put both valises int) the express wagon gave Mr. Hahn the wlea that ho .must have something very precious iv the one he carfied, and it seemea very heayy for him to carry, Both the man in the tivery office where Neal telephoned, Mr. Williams and Mr. Haho at vhe hotel say that the man tallied to & dot with the description of Neal, as now definitely known and frequently pub- ushed. Neither of them noticed his hands, except that they were yuile large snd rough, After learning the above facts Tue Bee reporter who secured them questioned number of expressmen: who make u _business of waiting at various points within a radius of four blocks of the hotel «for jobs, whether they had hauled any such bagzage as that desoribed, ou the 7th, but none of them could recall so doing. Several clothing stores were also visited in the hope of find- ing the ane where Neal bought his new clothes, etc., but without satisfactory re- sults. It was found thut since the fact of Neal haviog beeo in Omaha has become so widely and_thoroughly known, many people are strikingly averse even to trying to re- call whether they have met, and particuiarly whether they have had dealings with the as- sassin, and carry this dislike to extremes that are seriously aggravating as well as hinder- ing® at times. The idea of such persons seems Lo bo that if it should becoms kno wn that they had spoken to or dealt with bim, it might hurt their business, An amusing little incident in this connec- tion was met with oy the reporter yesterday afternoon. Entering a well known business house on Farnam street, the reporter asked if tho proprietor was in. He was, and came forward, “Can you tall me whether a roughly dressed young mav about 5 feet 7% inches tall bought u suit of clothes (describing them) here on the 7th of this month, or can you as a special favor tell me whether any such clothes wore bought at your store here on that day?" The old proprietor's face clouded as it he had becn dunned for @ big bl he bad - pad thirty days ago, and after eyeing the reporter sharply for a moment, he replied : * Well, 1—I—1 don’t know—that 1s—fact s 1don’t want 1o say—but no, I whink not— pretty sure nat.”’ “Shatl I quote you as saying yes or no? " “You'll not quote me at all, for I shall not tell you my name—I won't have my business hurt by being mixed up in this murder case." Smilingly turaiug on his heel the reporter walked out, and glanocing up over the door read in big letters the name of that same desperately cautious merchaat, Took Him for a Yahoo, Oficer Josse Newman was watching the m he was making his purchases of jewelry at the pawn shop, corner of Eleventh aad Faroam. After the fellow had departed the ofticer steppod in the shop and observed to the clork: “That fellow seems to be stuck on your cheap jewelry—he bought two watchos, ropliod the clerk, ‘‘he's some coun- try jay who has just sold some stock, sud he don’t know what to do with his money. But dou't run him in~—for if he's arcested you will know be bought the stuff here.” ‘The oficer says the wan, who was about five feet, seven or eight inches, seemed un- usually fidgety and norvous, but supposing it Was some farmer bupng his first gow-gaws he aid not suspect him.

PROGRESS OF THE STRUGGLE. Each Uity Still Continues to Be the Only Place for the Exhibition —The Omaha Appro- priation, House. Wasninaroy, Feb. 2L.—It was resolvol that when the house adjourned today it should be to moet Monday. The regular order being demanded, Mr. Hooker of Mississippi proceeded to address the house upon the world’s fair bill. He spoke in favor of Washington as the site of the fair, it being the seat of governmont, Mr. Mills of Texas said this was a busincss matter. Thero was something besides patri- otism in it. Cities came here hurrahing for the old flag and appropriations. This was a proposition to make mionoy. It New York twanted the fair sho could organize it on business prineiples, and bold it, So it was with Chicago and St Louis, they were business cities and knew how to manage business enterprises. In the district it was proposed to issue bonds to pay the expenses of the fair; the people were now taxed and governed to death, He ok it for wranted thatthe fair would be held; that congress would go on interfering with the rights of the people und 1t would bo charged to patriotism and Columbus, He would have to do as the rest did; he would have to vote for n site aud represent his peo- ple, and he would vote for Texas’ neighbor —St. Louis. Mr. Morse of Massachusetts said he would vote against the bills. First, because his democratic brethren had predicted in ad- vance that the first acts of the majority of tuis house under the new rules would be to wipe out the surplus and empty tho troas. ury of tho United States. One of these, and the one likely to pass, called for the issue of bonds by the District of Columbia to the amount of $15,000,000, one-half o1 which at 1sast the government would be hela for. It i8 supposed the country would get backa part of this sum from foreign visitors and exhibits, but he thought 1t would be safe to say that this proposed world's fair wherever held would 1nvolve a loss to the treasury of the United States of several million - dollars It was far better to expend $15,000,000 in es- tablishing o postal telegraph _throughout the country or to take the tax off sugar, a prime necessity of life, a tax that bore oppessively upon every laborer or mechanic. 5 Mr. Peters of Kansas said it was almost a hopeless task to try to stem the ti‘e of pa- triotic feeling, but before congress com- mitted itself it should seeif the government could afford it. The regular esumated ap- propriations for the next fiscal year wero $106,000,000. The miscellaneous appropriations made during the special session were $10,- 000,000, and during the long session the amount would certainly not be less, In ad- dition there were at least §250,000,00 in defic- iencies, making the grand aggregate of the appropriations $442,000,000. There were only — $450,000,000 ~ of estimated rev- enue with ' which to pay them. These figures did not take rivers and bar- bors into consideration. Mr. O'Neill of Penusylvania argued that there was too little time remaining to ar- range for a world’s fair in 1802 Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana argued 1 favor of the fair but did not speak gfor any particular locality. Mr. O'Ferrall of Virginia and Mr. Gib- son of Maryland favored Washington as a vlace for the fair. > Mr. Houk said to have the fair anywhere excuptat the national capital would take from it the most of its importance, Let the nation inherit the buildings which must be constructed here for the fair..;They would be, they were now needed for bubl use: Mr. Wilson of West Virginia said we.had had a series of centennials duriug the past fourteen years. Their influence for good could hardly be overestimated. We snould show to the old world the grandest sight of earth—n great nation built upon the corner- stone of liberty. It necessarily followud that the only right and proper place for the fair was at the seat of national government. Mr.Vandever of California argued in favor of St. Lows. If it was to bs s Soancial transaction purely, why not advertise for bids and give the fair 1o tbe city offering the most money. He be- lieved the mnext exposition wouid be beld in California, and therefore he favored the claims of St. Louis as a. recognition of the strength and groatness of the west. Mr. Carlisle swid the exvosition was to give the people of the old world not an n sight into our great manufactures and indus- tries, but to show them our greal country. Ho would vote for St. Louis and next for Chicago. He disapproved of tho. bills pro- sented by the committee. Congress had no authority to hola the fair elsewbers than in the District of Columbia or the territories. He opposed an appropriation of $1,500,000. It @ state wanted a fair its citizens had only to incorporate themselves and hold it. = He would vote for the bills only after they had been amended to meet his views, Mr. Kinsey of Missourihdvocated that the fair be beld in St. Louis. Mr. O'Neill of Indiana believed his con~ stituents’ interest would bo best sorved by holding the fair in St, Louis. Mr. Wilson of Missouri also argued in favor of St. Louis. Mr. Forman of Lilinois was for the fairnot a8 an accommodation for foreigners, but as an educational aid to the people of this coun- try. He was for St Louis because it of- 1&3:001 the best guarantee of success for the Tair. Mr. Hatch of Missouri pleaded for the fair to be held ‘at St. Louis, the great center of the trade sud vommerce of this country, Continuing, Mr, Hateh ridiculed New York’ site. He described Forest park, St. Louis, with its magnificent groves and its 1,880 acres, whore, said he, “you could pick up your hittle purk and dump it down three times iv u day.” Mr, Oothwaite of Obio said the celebra. tion should be held beyond the Alleghenies, Obeying the joint resolution of the Ohio legislature and his own Lmpulses he favored Chicago. Mr. Mason of Nlinois made a strong speech for Clicago. Our southern brothers charged republicans with unkindness and too severe, criticism in political matters. They in tura cbarged the southern people with the same faults, and bitterncss was aroused, How could this be stopped better than by meeting on common ground in a4 commnon caus Come to Chicago and see whether her ho: tality differed much from Georgis, Missi sippi or Kentuoky. Mr, Gear of lowa spoke of the glories of Chacago. It had pluck and push and energy and would make the fair a success. Mr. Korr of lowa believed & fair held in the east would not exhibit vhe true wealth of the country. It should be held 1n the greut wost and 1 Chicago. Mr. Owen of Indiana said if any place had earned the fair it was Cuicago. Logic, geo- graphical location, popular feeling, all in- clined to choose Chlcago, Mr. Springer dwelt upon the great ex- nse of holding the celebration in New Cork, He referrcd to the failure of New York to complate the Grant monument. De- duct $5,000,000 for buildings needed av New York and but 85,000,000 would be left of the Albany appropriation. Compare that with Chicago's position, $10,000,000 in - money and asite. Chicago would ask but $300,000 or $600,000 from the gnvernm&uk and that for its owu oxhibit. Iu referring to the coutest at Albany he quoted the docluration of one of the state senators that to him the bill was crow, and he woald east his share. If the fair was located io Now York in all proba- bility it would be a fuilure. 1t was the opin- ion of the ablest lawyers of New York that the Albsoy bill was unconstitutional énd that the taxpayers could successfully resist the imposition of the charge. Mr. Flower said that as the zentleman had questioned the value of the bonds New York proposed to offer he was himseif ready to take all of them at par. Messrs, Fiteh, Dunphy, Lausing, Spinola, Wallace, Rawes, Turnor, MeUurthy and Farqubar spake for New York. Mr. Chandler closed the debate in @ few words, saying the country could safely trust the bouss to discharge its full duty and bo boved fur & fuvorable couclusion upon the question next Monday T'ae hovse then 100k » recess. The bouse b its evening session passed forty private,gension bills and adjourned until Monday. Senate. Wasmixaray, Fob, 21.—In tho senate to- day the conférence report on the bill to in- crease the pensions of totally disabled pen- sioners was agrod to aftor the explanation that under thg act of 1880 it had been pro- vided that totally disabled pensionors then drawing 850 a mauth should receive $72; that the increase did not apply to those who were pensioned tnpreafter; that the bill as it passed the senatd was iotended to correct that omission | that tha house had amended it 80 88 10 aJlow arvears of pensions in such casos, and tho result was practically the adoption of the senate bill s originally passed, no arroars being allowed. Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar were the following: For the establishment of a pure food division in the department of agriculture; to provide for the establishment of s gun _foundry for the finishing and assembling of heavy ordnance on the Pacific coust. Mr. Edmunds introduced a bill to punish crimes against officers of the United Statos while in the discharge of their duties, and, by request, a bill to reorganize the rank and pay of the personnel of the navy. Referred. I'he senute then proceeded to the consider- aton of the house bill to provide for town site entrios in Oklahoma. A number of public building bills were passed, including ono for Kausas City for 2,500,000 aud one increasing the limit of the cost of the Omaha building to §2,000,000. The bill to amend the law relating to copy- rights having boen reached Mr. George ob- jected to its consideration. Mr. Platt moved the house bill as nn amendment to the senate bill and the bill was laid aside. Adjourned ment to Peod BilLL WasHINGTON, Feb, 21.—Senator 1’addock from the committes on agriculture today re- ported an amendment to Faulkner's pure food bili to take the place of that part of the original bill stricken out by the committee. ‘The amendment provides that the secretary of agriculture shall provide for the inspec- tion und DOt mortem examination of live stock to bo transported to uny other stata or territory or forcign country for consump- tion.

An Increase in the Number of Com- Plaints Regzarding Slow Collecs tions—1he Pittsburg Iron Market Weaker. The O tion, W YORK, al Tolegram to Tne Bee.]—R. G, Dun & Co.'s weukly re- viow of trade su, While the prevailing impression in busi noss circles is rather loss confident than it was a week ago, there are several sigus of improvement. Cooler weather has caused a little more, activity in some lines of trade. Wheat is a little stronger and without a clearly defined reason thero is a firmer tone in the eastern iron markets, whiie the ro- duction in the Bank of Kngland rate from 6 to b per cent, with its largp gain of §,315,000 in gold during the past week, diminishes tho mercial Situ chance of inconveniont demands from abroad. On the other hand, general trade I8 not increasing in volume or in profits, and while its soundness is indicated by the occurrence of fewer failures than many expected as the result of phenomenally unseasonable weather, the complaint of slow collections 15 common and rather jncreasing. Wool sells slowly. coal is very dull, hardware dull, the liquor trade fair, tobacco quiet with slow ¢ lections and the grocery trade generally de- pressed, with collections very poor. At Chicago grain receipts exceed last yeer's and receipts of beef products and lard are nearly or quite double, with a gain of 50 per cent in cheese for the iweek and some improvement in hides and wool, but uo change is seen in clotbing, though the dry ®o0ds trade compares fairly with last year and the shoe trade 1s only fuir. Clevelaud notes a fairly good trade, but the bad condition of country roads affect collections, though in some liies they grow better. Detroit observes fewer failures than wero apprehended from the mild weather, but at Milwaukee extended time has been given on many large accounts and cold weathor has come too late to clear the stocks in many country stores, IPair reports come from Omaha, St. Paul and Denver ‘and 1ndeed from most of the western and _southern points, but at Kansas City trade s rather inactive and at Pitts- burg irou is weaker because of the increasea southern competition, with a duller coal trade, but good business in glass. ‘T'he foreign trade of the country is not as favorable as it was two months avo, 1In three woeks of February the exports from New York show scarcely” any increase and the imports an increase” of only 3 per cent, ndicaling thus far an excess of imports. Wheat exports are still much above lust year's and the price has risen 21 cents, with reports of injury to the growing crop. Corn exports largely exceed Iast year's and the vrice is }fc lower, with oats 3¢ lower. Pork products are steady 4nd moving out- ward fairly. Speculation in coffee 18 stronger at 20 cents, but sugar has not changed. Itis difi- oult to account for the better tone which clearly exists in the iron market here and.at Phuadelphia, unless it1s dus to the hope that southern iron, which is now moving from Shefileld av §2.50 per ton to Pittsburg and selling somewhat largely, may hereafter affect the western rather than the eastern markets. ‘The local money market has been easy at unchanged rates, although the treasury has taken in since last Saturday $2,400,000 more than it bas paid out and interior exchanges with some cities is adverse. [t s hardly to be expected thut the banks will be able to guin in strength until April, but the decline 1n foreign exchnnges to $486% puts further away the possibility of gold exports. ‘I'he business failures accruing throughout the couatry duriug the last seven days num- ber 271 For the same week of last year the figures were 270, i £ e P CATI1LE CONVEN! 1ON.
