DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT. The City Council Holds a Busy Ses- sion—Burglars Repeat Their Calls —~General and Personal News Notes. The Pro er Who Shoots, The interest keeps up ia the trial of Rev. Mr. Helmick, charged with murder in the second degree. Yesterday's proceedings opened with the recall of the witnesses Oli- ver and Hardman, for some further slight examination, but nothing of special interest was thus revealed. The first new witness of the day was Kali- her, & brother-n-law of Hardman, who was visiting at the house of Hardman the night of the shooting. The two heard the shot, and run to the scene, and found Helmick standing holding his horse and a revolver in his hand. The witness testified mainly in support of the state’s theory that the night was not so dark but thav Helmick could have identified Palmer. He also testified as to what Helmick said right after the shooting. According to his recoilection Helmick said: “If Tdidn’t kill anybody I wish I had.” There was some discussion as to allowing Kaliher to testify, the defense objecting on the ground that they had no sufficient no- tice of What tho witness was to testify to. The state’s attorney showed up a recent de- cision of the supreme court to 8upport his position, and this seemed to startie Judge ‘fhornell, He remarked that he should rule in accordance with this decision, and that he did not elaim to know more than the su- preme court, but still this recent decision was just the opposite from fifteen or more previous decisions of the supreme court, and really aunulled a portion of the statutes, as well as ran contrary to the practice of years. After the witness testified the same re- quest to strike out’ his testimony was re- newed. The witness had been asked as to his employment. “I'm keeping a restaurant.’” “An lowa restaurant!" asked Attorney Sims, laying a prohibitory stress on “lowa,” and thus intimating that there was a saloon attachment. The witness answered ““Yes.”" Attorney McCabe then jumped up anda asked to have the testimony of this witness stricken out. *The state has imposed on us. They gave us notice that they were going to introduce this man as an honest, farmer.” Bailif McFadden’s jack knife rapped loudly to quiet the laugh which went round. Mrs. Porter, the mother-in-law of Palmer, was introduced, Her testimony was to the effect that the Rev. Mr. Helmick had inter- fered with the attentions being paid by Palmer to her daughter, and sought to break off the match. Mr. Helmick was the pastor of the church of which she was & member, and to which her daughter belonged also. She thought that even for a pastor he was interfering too freely in her family watters, but had not told himn so. She admitted that at one of these family confer- ences he was present at her own solicita- tion. She denied that she had opposed the match, said she had never seen Palmer drunk, denied that she had ever told certain sisters of the church and Rev. Mr. Brewer that she was ushamed of Palmer and that he was a worthless fellow. She denied hav- ing signed a petition for Rev. Mr. Helmick’s revurn to Neola as pastor. Mrs, Palmer, the widow of the man killed by Helmick, appeared next in the witness chair, She is a very comely woman of about. twenty-one years of age. Her testimony was to the effect that she was with Palmer early in the evening and that he was not drunk. When he reached home after the shooting 8he had examined his clothing and found no weapons, there being in his pocket only his bunch of keys and a pocketbook. The de- fense did not ask her a single question and she stepped down, At the opening of the afternoon session the defense began on its part of the case, the state resting. The first witness called was Rev. Mr. Brewer, pastor of the Methodist chu at Glenwood, by whom it was ex- pected to prove that Mrs. Porter, instead of being in favor of Palmer marrying her daughter, was opposed to him, and had uttered ~derogatory remarks concerning Palmer. There being some legal objections to the testimony because sufticient ground had not been laid for unpeachment, Rev. Mr. Brewer stepped aside for a few moments while Mrs. Porter was recalled for further cross-ex- amination by tne defense in order to prepare the ground for such impeachment., Mrs. Porter reaflirmed that she never said she and her husband were opposed to the marriage of Palmer to their daughter. Rev. Mr. Brewer then took the chair. He 'was present at a conversation had between Mrs. Porter and Mr. Helmick. i'rom the drift of the talk he gathered that Mr. and Mrs. Porter were opposed to the marriage, but could not give the language or details, John Grendel of Neola was next sworn. Hardman, a witness for the state, had sworn he was at his home that evening. Grendel testified to seeing Hardman in a crowd down town in company with the others who after- wards engaged in the egg-throwing. He con- tradicted Hardman in several other import. aut matters, the tendency of his testimony being that Flardmun was of the same gang as Oliver, Graver, Sweeney and others. The witnesa also contradicted Oliver, Oliver told him that Palmer bad asked him (Oli- ver) to atuy by him, so that if he got into a serape with Helmick he (Oliver) might pro~ tect him. Oliver had told witness thau the nignt of the shooting he and Palmer had in Helmick’'s barn an iron bar two feet and a half long. Erick Peterson was the next witness, The defense attempted toshow that Peterson was subpaenied for the prosecution and that the state would not put him on the stand, The court would not permit this to be put in evi- dence. Peterson heard the shot and on reaching with Helmick, while Hardman and his brother-in-law were out in the alley. Peterson was with Helmick when he was looking over the barn for bullet marka He heard Helmick make no such remarks as Hardman testitied to. In either detail he contradicted Hardman, He heard Helmick say something about shooting, out did not hear 1t all, James Powell, now of Woodbine, was in Neola the evening of the tragedy. He had heard numerous threats mmade by saloon men against Helmick. ‘I'hey said that if Helmick ot his nose in their business there would 0 another Haddock case, The witness told Helmick avout this and told him he had batter look out.

Although well advanced in years and suffering poor health for » num- ber of moaths past, neither his friends nor the public were prepared for the announce- ment of his death, and ¢he news was start~ ling aod was the cause of widespread sor- row. He died at his resideco at 9:30 yester- day forenoon, Death was the result of the gradusl weakening of the vital forces, lncident to the progress of the dis- easo from which he has suffered for many years. He passed away peacefully and calmiy, econsclous to almost the last the lust breath, surrounded by all his fami with the exception of one cuild. lu char- acter he was & representative of the best citizenship and manhood aud impressed his individuality snd integrity upon @& wide cirele, Sawuel Clinton was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, in 1818. He studied law and completed bis course at Ballswon-Spa, N, Y., e e e e e e - after which he removed to the west and set. tled at Sheboywan, Wis., where in_ 1843 he was joined in marriage to Miss Mary A. Wheeler. In 1858 thev moved to Council Bluffs. Here Judge Clinton has lived co tinuovsly ever since. His first law partner- ship was with Judge Baldwin, The combi- nation of logal talent and manly merit was continued until the uscension of the latter to the bench, when Judge Clinton becamo as- sociated with Colonel Sapp, and afterward with the firm of Hart & Brower, He filled an unexpired term as district judge. from which he derived the title which he bore until his death. In 1861 Lie became captain of a company of home guards, which was one of three raised under act of the state legislature. From this official position he received the title of captain, ‘I'nree children were born to him and the wife who survives him. These are Mrs. I B, Hart of Minneapo'is, I C.

All of the aldermen were presens, and President Lacy occupied the chair the absence of Mayor Rohrer. A petition to abate a nuisance in the shape of a house of ill-fame at the corner of Broadway and Twelfth street, was referred 10 the mayor. The petition of A. S. Bonham for the re- fund of paving tax on Broadway on a por- tion of the street used by the motor com- pany was referred. as_wore similar petitions ot E. Huntington, A. Hall and J. R. Bell. Petition for sidewalk on avenue B was re- ferred. Petition of Alex Woods for opening of a street was referred to committee on streets and alleys. Petition of D. J. Rockwell for refund of tax on erroneous assessment was referred. Bond of A.J. Tullick Bridge company, with Nick O’Brien and Dan Carrigg as sureties, The sureties were objected to by Aldermen Everett and Lacy, but the boad was accopted, Weaver, Waterman, Bel- linger and Knepher voung aye. Controversy between Georgo F. Smith and W. W. Cones regarding sidewalk con- tract was decided in favor of Mr. Cones, who was awarded .he contract. Bond of James Galvin on sidewalk con tract was approved. Petition of Mynster, Lindt & Ssabrook, attorneys, for settlement of a judgment against the city for money in hands of the city treasurer, which was forfeited as ap- pearance money by saloon-keepers and pros- titutes, was objected to by Alderman Ever- ett and a lengthy discussion ensued. Some of the aldermen were 1 favor of paying it, but Everett and Lacy objected strongly. The discussion brought out " the fact that it was understood by some of the aldermen that ghere was a kind of compromise effected, by the terms of which the injunc- tion now pencing against the allowance of the aldermen’s fees as members of the board of equalization was to be withdrawn, provided the judzment was quietly paid, Alderman Weaver jumped to his feet and announced 1n very vigorous language that he was opposed to any compromise and re- sented the intimation that the council had been making any compromises, He did not want any inference to be obtamed by the people generally, aund said that if he could not collect his fees by law he didn’t want them. Mr. Lacy also had a word to say. He thought that if a judgment had been se- cured itcould be properly collected and he didn’t believe in allowing any attorney to come in and run a bluff on the council. John Lindt was prescut and took an active part 1n the discussion, but he could not ring the council to his way of thinkiag. The claim was finally thrown out and it was de- cided to instruct the city attorney to use all meuns in his power to have the judgment st aside. Petition of ["anny L. Prescott for refund was referred. The committee on the city’s claim of $22 15 agaivst the engineer's department for dam- ages resulting from & mistake reported that 1t resulted from the confusion in the oftice attendant on a change of officers, and that the engineer should not be held responsible, but recommended that the officers or full pay be required to devote their whole time to the city. The report was concurred in, Alderman Kuepler voting no. Alderman Everetu then wanted his ordi- nance that was introduced on tha previous evening regulating the salaries of city marshal and chief of police and fixing them at 1,500 each, in licu of all fees, brought up. for its second reading. This brought on a discussion, and Alderman Waterman kicked on singling out one officer to be cut down. He wanted to introduce an ordinance he haa prevared, cutting down the salaries of all the city officers. Alderman Everett's ordi- nance was passed to its second reading, and at the request of some of the aldermen he amended it so that the clause referring to the chief of police was stricken out, A motion to pass it to its third reading was oot seconded. Alderman Lacy was in favor provided the council had the power to pass it, and the marshal could not collect his fees by law, but he did not want to raise his salary from $500 to £1,500 and let him have the fees the same as at present. Alderman Waterman's ordinance was then introduced. It fixed the officers’ salaries as follows: Mayor, $600; auaitor, $300; treasurer, £500; $1,950 and au assistant at $600% mar- and fees, as at present; engineer, y clerk, $500, and another §500 as clerk of the superior court: deputy clerlk, $750; chief of police, $340; patrolman, $720} aldermen, §250. The ordinanca was receivea with derision, and Alderman Everett stated that it was eviaently introduced for spite work or to em- barrass the new administration should it be passed. He said that it was ridiculous to expect competent men to accept the offices at any such fizures, Other members of the council stated that none of the oity officers were receiving too much money, but on the contrary several of thew should be raised. Alderman Lacy recommended increasing the salary of the treasurer to $1,200 and increas ing his bond to §150,000. After a very lengthy discuss the motion to pass the ordinance to its second reading was lost, and Alderman Weaver's motion to uppoint Alderman Knepber, Lacy and Everett a committee to prepare an ordinance reguluting the salaries of offivers to report ut the next meating was carried, After transacting a little minor business, the council adjourned.

On Thursday a weel ago, as the light- ning- express passed through the sub- urban town of Oak Park, near Chicago, Mollie O’Brien, a young girl in the em- ploy of Mrs. R. H. Salter, attempted to cross the track. She was accompanied by a Scoteh collie, which was a great pet in the family, says the St. Louis Re- public. The young givl reached the op- posite side 1n safoty, and turned to see where the dog had gone. Seeing that the dog was in imminent danger of being run over, she started to suve him. The crowd on the opposite platform screamed for her to go back, but she heeded not her own danger, and us she reached the steps slippbd and fell just as the great iron monster rushed past. The train did not crush her, but the driver on the wheels of the eugine broke her neck instantly. People rushed to her assistance, but it was too late. Placing her on the plat- form, kind hands and curiosity seekers crowded around her, but the great, noble dog she had tried to save kept all away from her. Placiug himself by her side, he licked her poor, bruised hands, and 1n every way tried to awaken her. No one dared touch her, und not until an old friend of the fumily came wpuld he leave her for & moment.

We wont do it because we can make money elsewhere,” Does Judge King Hold Over? *Do you construe the city charter to mean that you hold over for another vear?’ was asked Judge King yesterduy after he had patiently listened to the tale of the four offenders brought before him and had dis- posed of their cases. “According to the charter provisions it is plain that I must run again,” answered the judge. “But in common with others I have my doubts about the right of special charters to legislate an official out of ofiice when once elected according to the statutory laws governin cities of the second class. Nevertheless, will have an opinion from high authority in a few days and then I will know better what T will have to_do. If I am advised by this authority that [ must run again, ot course I will abide by the advice.” Polico Judge King was elected a year ago for a two years' term, but_according to the provisions of the charter govern- ing next month's election & new police judge must be chosen, There is a strong disposition among men of both'parties ta allow the present incumbent to step into the office again unobposed 1n the event of & new election being necessary. Judge King has made an excellent dispenscr of munici- pal justice during the last eleven months, and has earned the conrndence and respect of all elements. Cora’s Broken Limb. Cora Lee i8 a high-kicking damsel who has been wont to charm the attendants at the ‘fneatre Comique. Cora, in abbreviated garments, warmed a chair i the first part, and without changing her clothes worked hard the rest of the night for percentages in the wine-room. Cora’s occupation is gone for a time. Wednesday night she slipped on the street, near the corner of Twenty-seventh and N streets, and fractured her highest kicking limb. The Theater Comique will suffer a temporary snuffing out of oneof 1ts shining lights, Pleading Be! It took about half an hour to dispose of four unfortunates 1n Judge King’s court yes- terday. They were a very penitent-look- ing quartette and in each instance acknowl- eaged the shortcomings entered against them on the jail record. Frank Clements was too drunk when brought in to remember his right name, so the stereotyped *‘John Doe” was applied to him for the nonce. He admitted the charge of drunkenness and was taxed up'¥3 and costs. He boasted a bank account, but pre- ferred to work his fine out in the county jail during these dull March days. M. P. Williams, a gray-haired old stock- man, fell by the wayside. He admitted the charge and paid his tine of $3 aud costs with- out a murmur, i Dr. W. C. Wardner looked upon the wine when 1t was red. He gazed so long and steadily that s weak limbs could o longer nold him up. Officer Hughes took pity on him and placed him within the four walls of Pat Rowley’s whitowashed cellar, better known a8 South Omaha's place of incarcera- tion. He was taxed tho same amount, §3 costs. James Sullivan, a plain, every-day vagrant, will assist in puiting a new coat of white- wash on the walls of Pat Rowley's cellar aforesaid. He sccured a two days’ sentence. Death Amiast Poverty. There is a pitiable case of destitutionin a household on Tweuty-ninth street near the L street viaduct. The family is named Strenard. The father has been on a sick bed for some time. A few days ago the mother gave birth to twins. One of the babies died afow days ago and will be buried by the city. The desolate house is without the ne- cessities of life, with both mother and father lying sick in bed. The charitably disposed people of South Omaha can find in the Strenard home plenty of opportunities for alleviating distross and suffering, The Mcthodist Revival. The revival meetings now in progress at the Methodist church on the corner of Twenty-second aud N stroots are attracting ful. Mrs. N. E. Roberts of Lincoln is as- sisting the pastor. She is a forcible and ef- fective speaker.

The army circle at Fort Yates is greatly agitated over the coming trial of Licutenant Steele, who outvageously assaulted and caused the imprisonment of Private Dell Wild, sa a Bismarck, N. D..dispatch to the New Nork World. The court-martial at which the soldier received his sentence was a farce from beginving to end, and the two officers who took the rvesvonsibility of giving justice to ‘poor Wild have been long noted for their tendency to inflict the severest punishment upon their un- fortunate subordinates. Capt. Fechett of the Eighth cavalry has a disagreeable record in this respect and is not at all Jiked by the soldiers. His hands are already dyed with the blood of a luckless private namea Dugan, when he nearly pummelled to death during the Fourth of July cele- bration at Bismarck lasy year when the captain narrowly escaped lynching by the indignant citizen He was spir- ited away by his friends’ and, when the excitement abated, was formally ar- rested. He went through what ap- peared to be a trial before the city jus- tice. Private Dugan of company G was iutoxicated on the Fourth of July and in an ugly mood. Fechett ordered him to sit down, which the private refused to do, whereupon the captain grabbed a gun from the hands of a soldier and struck Dugana terrible blow on the head with the butt end. The blow split Dugan’s right ear in two, nearly fracturing the side of his head. He presented a sickening sight, and it was a quarter of an hoar before he regained consciousne; The affair caused great excitement and effectually put a damper to the colebration of that day. The vast crowd needed only a leader to have strung up Capfain Fechett without merey. It is no wonder then, when one considers the e ng relation of rank and file in urmy life, that Private Wild had all the odds against him and no possible show for a faiv trial. It is the general impression among officers at Fort Yates that Lieuten: Steele will be severely dealt with. licutenant and wife are well known Bismarck, and always the best of society. in ys have moved in Their astounded over the developmenis. and friends are it is believed that other revilatioas of asimilar nature will be disclosed Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a feeble constitution is ill adapted to encounter a malarious atmosphere and sudden changes of temperature, and the least robust are usually the easiest vie- tims.
