THE OMAHA DAILY BEEZMONDAY, NOVEMBER 1 THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERANS Coming Eession of the North Platte Gonfer- ence of the 8ynod. THE OPENING MEETING THIS EVENING. | | lev, . G. Grifith, Pastor of Mark's Church, Preaches an Able Sermon on A The North T weheal Lutheran Wy’ sossion at te conferonce of the n- synod wiil hold a three t. Mark's Lutheran church, gornerof Thirty-first and Burdette streets, Deginning this evening. The first s 20 have been preachied last night by Rev. J. N. Lenker of Grana Island, but he could not reach Omaha in time and Rev, I. G, Grifith, pastor of St. Mark’s church, preached a ser- that which Rev. Lenke “A Church Home,' The nddress was very practical and ex- plicit. Hesaid a church bome did not mean achureh building, ncoessarily. It is a place where God meots his people and where peo- ple meet for worship and fellowship. God anay be worshiped anywhere, but he also de- sires the children of men to have special places to worship. A church home is a place of rest from the busy cares of hife, a place of sweot relief from the turmoll of a rest- Jess world, It s right that there 'should be a chur building and 0 good one, esp h o view to the convenience g comfort of those who desireto wor other, Christins should take p peautifying the house of God and make it de- fighttul and inviting. “I'he reverend gentleman said there were necessary in securing a church ffort, a united effort and ering effort. Where these ure made dnearnest a congregation can soon have a chiurch home that they all fecl proud of, Ho then referred to the benefit a church is to the community, andsaid that the citizens could z0t offord to let churches suffer for support _and suffer or go down. A church is a lasting benefit to those who wosidein the community, no matter whether they attend it or not. "I'te_speaker then talked a few minutes nbout the programme that will be followed Wy the North Plavte synod and invited every- Body to attend the meetings. I'his evening will be what1s called “Luther Day Services.” Addresses will be given by woveral of tho leading pastors of the church in tho North Nebrasku conference, The conferenco will meet both morning and evening, and everybody is invited to atiend, i Ly AMUSEMENTS, ““The Midnight Bell,”” Hoyt's very natural and clever comedy, dealing with New Eng- Jand life m what Idgar Saltus would call **a Massachusctts village,”” began n four nights’ engagement at the Boyd last evening. There is an episodic charm about the play thav is irresistible. It is full of quuint) human touches which never fail of enthu ustic recognition at the hands of an audience, 10 matter in what section of the country thé play may be produced. It is & breath from another world, than the teeming, bustling city life where all is rush and turmoil; it Is & picture of home in its rustic setting, sweeter by far than that ever limned by a Corot or 8 Turner. Tt would be dificult to imagine a prettier sleteh than the school room scene, for which Mr. Hoyt has contrived some extremely clever and novel incidents. School room scenes always “go” with an sudicnce, but the author has managed to be scholarly and uneonventional. A 0ld deacon, one of the school trustess, its the children and puts them through & “course of sprouts.” He is extremely ignor- ant_of book “larnin’” but is @ hostin prac- ticality. He is invited to question the geo- graphy elass which he proceeded to do, to his own satisfaction at least. “Which 1s the largest city in the world 2" e asks. “Chicago? comes the mnswer very quickly. Tiis grently perplexes tho good deacon aud looks for enlightenment to his lawyer Triend. “Tknow Chicago Is tho largest city in the world,for a Chicago man told me so,” persists the pupil. ““Don’t you ever believe what a Chicago man tells you,” responds Deacon Tidd with a Knowing leer. “The plot of a “Midnight Bell” is its worst foature. Itis conventionally melodramatic, hinging upon tho theft of some bank notes and the discovery of the thief with the bonds Wwhich he has sewn into the cushions of the pew fu the parish church. The old deacon who has unintentially locked himself in the organ loft, Is the unconscious means of bring- fugz tho offender to justice. Tho thiof in the church with the bonds; the deacon in order to liberate himself, rings a mdnight bell; the villagers come flocking into the church, the villain is discovered, and—there you are! ‘There have few changes been made in tho cast since last scen in Omaha, and as the characters comeon, they wero roceived with epirited recognition by “the sudienco, whictr most have been very delightful to the peo- ple vlacing them atonce in sympathy with hose in front of the footlights. Thie clever acting of Eugene Canfleld, as a boy with avoicothat is just changing, won much appreciation. George Richards as Dezcon Tidd was won- derfully true tonature, wonderfully so be- couse Mr. Richards isstill a_young man. 1t i5a most unctuous perforraance and qaite overshadows anything he has done since he s been a member of Hoyt's forces. Miss Percy Haswell, a very pretty and de- mure young woman with lots of ability, who was séen here last season with “Shenan- doah," played the minister’s sister, Dot Bradbury, very acceptable indeod, quite real- wzing the author's intention of making it an ingenuo role, not a soubrette. Miss Mario Hart is_delightful as the old maid, Lizzie Grout. J. W. Hague continues % play the villian, Stéphen Lurabee, and lays it very well, which may also be said of 'rank Lans in the role of Napier Keene, the cllg lawyer, ut the entire cast Is good, and “The Mid- “night Bell" is deservedly a second edition of “The 01d Homestead." ““The Pearl of Pekin'" was the attraction at the Grand last evening, playing t a very good house, Had the opera been announced at the start ns being by Messrs, Gilbert ana Sullivan it would have achieved a triumph among their namirers. The very fact that some of the music is suggestive “of two eminent writers ‘would have made it all the more interesting, and the absurdity of the plot, tho brightuess of many of the lines, would have carried it to certain success, As for tho musie, which is set downas being by Gustave Kerker and Charles Le- ©ocq, thereis nota dull passago .n it, and one melody after another, songs, dances and choruses follow in that delightful succession W'hlch Is best illustrated by the flowing of wine, But the company which produced the opera 1ast evening is the inferior of the one which gave it its original presentation in Omaha, Mr. Edwin Clapman, who sings Mr. Har- rison's part of the Tyfoo, while just as able awusiciau lacks the lutter's humor, especially §s this noticeable in the second act. Miss Lillie Westis avery bright and interestin, Pearl of Pokin, and this may also be said of Miss Fisch as Finnette, Mr. Edward Weed, the tenor, sings well, but his acting is painfully mechanical. Mr. Girard is the Sosoriki, ana barring & tend- seyto greggurte the part is very accepts able. ‘Tho chorus, while not large, slug very well and if we had not seen so excellent a presenta- tlon 0 the opera lust year the present per- formuuce would be considered remarkavly it A Counductor's Desperate Act.

Shortly after his arrival in California he struck a rich lead and was in a fair way to become wealthy, He confided to arelative his good fortune, but shortly after fell a victim to & plot instigated by this man and carried fnto execution. With the aidof agangof con- federates, on a forged certificate of insanity he was immured in the California state insane asylum and for seventeon years was buried from the world.. He had no friend who knew of his condition and the years' during which he was mourned as dead were spont by himin this living tomb. Only a fow months ago he succeeded in communicating with his brother in Wisconsin, and the latterlost no time in going to San Praucisco and affecting his un- fortunate brother's release.

The democrats were having a jollifi- cation meeting and firing au anvil when Tom Uttley, a negro of unsavory reputation, came up and ordered tho celebration stopped.

A Successful Inangural of the Series of Annuni Banquets by the Builders' and Trad- ers' Union. Tho first annual banquot of the Builders' and Traders’ exchange, a brief report of which appeared in yesterday's Ber, was given at tho Hotel Barker last Saturday night. It proved to be one of the finest events of the kind ever given in this Ib was at- tended by il the leading builders and imnle- ment dealers in the city, as also by a number of distinguished citizens who were the guests of the associati The table was spread in & most tempting manner, several symbolic picces of pastr work of the cuisine of the Barker, being es- pecially attractive and beautiful. Richard Smith, president of the exchange, satat the head of the table, baving on his right William H. Sayward, secretary of the national asscciation of builders, aud on his left BEdward Rosewater. Near athand were the chaivs of Governor-Elect Boyd, John L. Webster, George W. Whitlock, building in- spector, Chialrman D. W. Birkhauser of tho board of public works, Martin Tttner and N B.

To factlitate the_execution of this plan he had seen to it that a glass of “Barker Hotel” punch was beside cach plate.

Boyd, the democratic can- didate for governor, was 1,000 votes ahead of Powers and that he was still increasing the lead. The appreciation of this news was most demonstrative, It resulted in three rousing cheers for the nomineeand acall for a speech, to which that gentleman responded in a few choice sentences. After tho banquet had been disposed of President Smith opened the forensic pro- gramme by a short address, saying: “Gentem As president of the builders and traders exchunge of Omaha, itis my privilege to extend & welcome to you on this occasion. “White I might be pardoned should I use this oceasion to express many of the thoughts which this meeting suggests, 1 assure you that such is not my intent: forunder the guidance of our toast mastor, I shall ask you to listen to what others may have to offer for your information and entertainment, I cannot, however, rofrain from express. ing my gratification, notonly as president of this organization, but also as an individual member, at seeing gathered together at our firstannual banquet so many of those whose interests, both as business men and citizens are closely connected. 1t is indeed & huppy moment, because social affais of this nature bring us nearer togother and help to make possiblemany of the results for which we ave working, “ft wives me particular pleasure also to greet in friendly welcome those who are present as vepresentatives of other interests, who find themselves here on our invitation to unite with us in emphasizing the truth that whatever tends to strengthen eny particular interest in the community is of common con- cern and value to all, ‘0 all such guests 1 give a most hearty welcome from the Builder's and Trader's ex- change of Omaha, I know that I voice the opinion of every individnal member, when 1 1y that we hope to make our association the source of much pleasure and pride to all citi- zens of the city with whose wellare we feel ourselves to bo most intimately connected. “Finally, it is a pleasure to me to extend a welcome 10 the secretary of the National as- sociation of builders, whose official visit to us as one of the filial boities of thut organization gives us opportunitics to show our apprecia- tion of his efforts in bebalf of the builders of the codatry, und our belief in the value of the national association to every local body in the countuy. = *“To each and all, I theréfore bid a hearty welcome. { “Ihave now the pleasure of introducing Mr, Hussey, president of the plumbers asso- ciation of Omaha, who will act as toastmas- Mr. Smith's remarks were greeted with cheers. Mr. Hussy considered it important to state that the organized national body of builders probably represented more capital than any other body, and was secondto none in in- telligence und all that poes to make good citizenship. He-prodictod a boom for Omaha and decided to introduce the man who he thought was most instrumental in driving away the cloud of prohibition. He then intro- duced Hon. John L. Wobster,who, in describ- ing the resources of the west the prospects of Omaba and welcoming Mr. Sayward the national secvetary said: “Mr. Tonstmaster—By your kindly intro- duction I'learn that I am o speak words of welcome in_behalf of the Builders and Traders exchange of Omaha to the worthy secretary of the national sits at my left hand.

Mayor Cushing, who had b s was unable to be present and sent a letter of regrets. Mr. Jules Lombard then sang with exquisite tatse “Are You Sleeping, Mary warmly encored, responding with a musical apostrophe to “Rum.’ Mr. Euclid Martin was to have spoken on Nebraska and the World's fair, but was absent, Mr. Edward Rosewater of Tue Bee was called upon to speak for ““The #ress.” The gentleman was received with a triple round of cheers. He said that ho had ccme thero late, having been detained by profes- sional business. He noticed that hLe was ex- pected to talk on *Tho Press,” and smd that he would do 80 as.well as he could. He saia that the press had been largely instru- mental in educating the people to a taste for architectural beauty and in advocating the construction of hindsome and substantini buildings. In the matter of substantial buildings in_Omaha he would take credit to himself for having done something in that respect. Ho had erected on the spot where he had resided for more than twenty years, and where his children had been born, apuilding which would challenge compavison. It was a jobof which nobody necd be ashamed. Every one who had Had anything to do with that builling had Something to be proud of The efforts of the exchange should be devoted to the work of providing Omaha with a scries of build- ings of the same kind. He expected tosee the time when Dougrtas, Farnam and Harey streets would be Tined with such bnilding: Somebody had. pyblished something showin Omaha with buildings eighteon stories in height, Ho thought there was nothing too great in o structure of that kind to be erected, and if they did not see them liero eventually, they would certainly find them in Chicago. ~ In conclusion he hoped that build- ers and traders would strive to compete in good workmanship and good material, and that they would charge zood prices for their work and pay good wages to their workmen. [Applmlsed Mr, W. H. Sayward, secretary of the Na- tional Builders’ and Traders' association, said it was his duty to be here and it was hi: privilege tobe in their midst. It was h pleasure also to be cheered by the royal wel- come which had been given ‘him by the rep- resentatives of the tens of thousands of citizens of the progressive city of Omaha. It was his pleasure tosit ot the board with the men who had helped to build up Omuba, aud when he should go to Colorado, and down to Kansas City, and off to Chicago, he would speak of this city and the welcome he had received as seeond to none which he had ever received. He would say to them as a representative of the vlder civilization of the east that the people in the east were proud of them and their civilization, and what, they were doingin the great work of building up the country. It had been Lis privilege to land in Omaha when the streets were ringing with the voice of individual liberty, which was the prerogative of every citizen. in favor of the great achievement in destroying pro- hibition. When the right of individual liberty died then would come that decadence of the people which would be unusually deplored. The speaker then discussed the merits of the national builders' association and con- cluded with an apostrophe to patriotism. Mr. Harry Lawrie spoko upon architects and coutractors, showing the difficuity the former class experienced sometimes in ~ deal- ing with dishonest contractors and the good the association of builders and traders could do in weeding out the uureliable.ones. Mr. James Creighton delivered a few vigorous remarks in which he denounced the mechanic*s lien law as robbery. He claimed that the feature of tholaw which readared it possible for a lien for anythiug save labor to put upon a job of worlk encounaged dealers to sell to irresponsible people who should not. he encouraged. Thero was Lo reason why a material dealer should sell to a party who could not pay than that a grecer should trust a customer in whom ho could not place reliance. Mr. I'red McConnell delivered a few re- marks, in which he stated that % per cent of the school children of Omaha and 95 pér cent of the graduates of the high school were the children of parents who guined a livelihood us artisans or 1n some of the other divisions of labor. Mr. John Jenkins spoke upon labor and took Ihe}zruunfl that striles vesulted to the benefit of neither'employer or employe. Governor-elect Boyd was again_called for and received with ‘repeated cheers, After scbung forth his avession to making a specch, hesaid: “I suppose I know as much about Omaha as any man in it. 1 have been here as a resi- dent for tnirty-foir \years. 1 lLave seen it grow from a littlé’hdinlet of 450 people to the most hundsome city (én the Missouri north of Kansas City, 1bavid always worked for her advancement and haye always rejoiced in her prosperity. 1 hml,ll{ g refused o have uny- thing to do with po) {| cs.

That's wihat Mrs. A, Stroble thought last night asshe was taken to acell in the city Juil with her slecping five-year old boy in her arms. Mrs, Stroble’s husband is foreman for C.A. Morrell, the contractor at Twenty -sec- ondand Cuming streets, and the brand of do- maostic felicity that has passed currdnt in the Stroble houschold for a year has been badly tainted with gall and ¥ ceptiblo mixed with wormwood. Three weeks awo Stroble and his wife seperated and MiS. Stroblo went to live with Joe Poterson in a flat near Bighteenth street between Harnoy and St. Mary's avenue, Yesterday Stroble went to where his wife and Peterson live and begged of her togo back with him to their humble home ana they would proceed to blot gut the past and open o new ledger of life on joint account. Mrs. Stroble refused towo and_they bogan to quarrel about the matter. Pelorson dropped in about that time, and svhen ho saw the husband of his charmer on the premiises he made hasto to find & police officer. He_hailed Officor Ellis [ avenue and told him that there wae o man’ up where he-poarded beating his . Ellis and Peterson hurried to the scene of atleged craclty, but the wife beating story was_found to be untrue. The ofticer lingered about the place long enough to seo that it was only a warof words and then went about his business. When a block away from the house where he left Peterson aud the two Strobles, Ellis heard a shot, and hureying back be found Mr, Stroble lying on tho floor with one finger shot off and Mrs. Stroble rushing frantically about the house proclaiming to the neighbors in the block the fact that her husband had been shot. Peter- son, who fired the gun, had disappeared. Stroble and his_wife were taken to jail and a search was begun for Peterson, The Strobles have been married seven yoars. Mrs. Stroble begged piteously not to be put in jail with her innocent boy but she had to go behind tho bars to be held as a witness, poriiond-sednooi BONN STORY. He Tells of the Cruclties Practiced by Barttelot. Loxvoy, Nov. 0,—The Times this morning published a three column article, the signed statement from Bonny, who opens by rogret- ting that Barttelot's brother forced the dis- closure of ashameful story. Bonny say Stanley only heard of the poisoning suspic- ions from him on Octobor 20, that Barttelot and Jameson, after questioning the Arabs belonging to Stanley’s previous expedition, as to the fate of Poceck and others, expressed the opinfon that Stanley would poison anybody. He admitted rumors to that acffect were current in urope but nothing had ever been proved against Stanley. Bonny confirms the report that Barttelot asked him for tasteless poison with Which to vemove Tippo Tib's nephew, Zelim, with whom he had a quarrel. Bonuy hid all the poisons. Barttelot did not make & fur- ther attempt to poison Zelim. Bonny oo firms the statoment, that Barttelot delil ately hit & woman, For this Barttolot would have been lynched if Bonny had not rescued him, Bonny has not the slightest doubt that the boy Soudi died from the effects of a kick by Barttelot. He contirms the statement that the boy, John Henry, whoacted as interpreter, died from the effects of 300 lashes, He did not de- sert as stated, but was left on the road. He ‘was afraid to come back because he had sold Barttelot's revolver to buy food, The major recaptured the boy and had him publicly sen- tenced to be shot, not, mtending o carry out thesentence, The whole camp threatened to desert if the sentenoce was carried out. Bartte- lot then exclaimed: By God 1 will give him 300lashes,” Henry became insensible after receiving thirty lashes. The scene was the mosthorrible he (Bonuy) ever saw. Mor- tification set in and the flesh of the vietim fell in pieces to the ground. His body swelled to twiceits ordinary size and he died in twenty-four hours. Bonny tells ofthe unprovoked stabbing of Chief Tnguh g, by Barttelot with a penknife, He declares the best feeling prevailed in thevillage till the major arrived, when he immediutely caused troubles by extravagant demands and threats. Bonny confirms sev- eral other stories told beforo about the cruclties practiced by Barttelot, and tells about the killing of Zanzibari by Barttelot, who after beating the man frightfully with a a asled his skull with it, Barttelot projected an expedition of his own to 1 Casatia and not go to Unyero.

Illinois made 2: per cent of the total in 1850 and 19.44 per cent in 1890, Ohio’s share in 1880 was 9.42 per cent, and in 1890 10 per cent. In'1880 thére were but eleven plants for the manufacture of Bessemer steel in this country, while now there are fifty- three works equipped for the produetion of Bessemer—Robert-Bessemer ov Clapy- Grifiiths—steel, and the output of these products has increased from 985,- 208 tons in 1880 to 8,877,030 tons dur ing the current census year, an increaso of over 203 per cent. The production of Bessemer ingots and rails, including Robert-Bessemer and Clapp-Grifiiths, ing the census year 1800 was as fol Rails. 177,110 Ol West Virgin: w Yor! A AR e ) 030 The Clapp-Grifiiths and Robert- mer process, both of which are modi tions of the ordinary Bessemer methods, were introduced into this country during the past ten years, the former from Great Britain and the latter from France. The first steel made in this country by the Clapp-Griffiths process was produced in Pittsburg on March 25, 1884, and the first use of the Robert-Bessemer process was at Springficld, O., in September, 1888, The report calls attention to a very sigrmificant feature of the Bessomer stecl industry in these words: “The increase in the number of establishme ducing Bossemor steel has the result almost entircly of demand for steel in forms other than rails, All of the eleven Bessemer steel plants th were completed in 1880 had been built to manufacture steel for rails, many of them being added to i iron-rail mills, Of s stecl plants at 1880, only fourteen made steel rails during that year, and of the total quantity of rail produced over 90 per cent was mads by ten of these works, Thus, while the pro duction of steel rails has nearvly trebled in amounts since 1880, the number of os- tablishments engaged in their manufacture has shown but lit- tlo change in ‘ the ten youvs, although many of these works have greatly incrensed in size and ef- y. The competition in the manu- facture of Bessemer steel rails has com- pelled many of the rail mills to_convert alarge partof the steel produced by them into forms other than rails, the production of rails to any considerable extent at the present time being possi- ble only in works favorably located fov poly of cheaj ted under the proved methods of manufacture.” The number of plants for the man tnre of open-hearth steel has ine from twenty-five in 1550 to fifty-el 1890, and the production has inc: during the same period from 84,302 tons Of the totgl production ng the census year 1890 Pennsylvania 2002 s und Ohio 61,232 tons stoel iudustry has shown 85 8inco 1880, the produc- tion ia that year amounting to 76,201 tons, as compared with 55,336 tons in the census year 1800, Thenumberof cruciblo steel plants has inereased from thirty-six to forty-seven during the decade.
