The next evidence introduced was a cortifi- cate from the recorder of decds to the effect that he had been unable to find any record of the attachment on which the land had been sold to Helfeustein, Gore & Co., or tho re- turn of the sheriff on the same, The same objection of irrelevance was made.

At the opening ot the afternoon session a sherill's deed, purporting to have been is- issued on October 19,1868, was offered in . This deed shows that on the day mentioned, Thomas L. Sutton, who was then sheriff of Douglas county, con- veyed the landin question to Helfonstein, Gore & Co, The introduction of this deed in evidence was objected to by the defendants' attorneys on the grounds thatit does that an order of attachment was ey by the court in favor of Helfenstein, Gore & st Robert Shields; that it does not show that any execution, levy or sale was ever made; that it does uot show that the a leged sale was ever confirmed by the court that it is void, because no notice of the iss: ance of the'deed was ever served upon Shiclds ; that at the time of the alleged sale theftitle té theland in question was in the United Statesind was not subject to lovy and sale; that the deed does not contain the no- ticerequired by law; that the alloged sher- if’s deed does not show whether or not the land was redeemed from such alleged sale. The deposition of Mary L. Kintzing, widow of Charles S. Kintzing, Who was a partner in the Helfenstein firm, w introduced in evi- dence. As the deposition was meroly for the purpose of showing heirship and nothing more, 1t was admitted without’ objection, Mary L.

The deeds t they were executed during the years 1558 and 89, Ono peculiarity of these deeds is that in each the consideration is I, alleged to have been paid by Helfenstein, They each convey Charles 8.

Other quit claim deeds from the other part- nersof the Helfenstein-Gore firm to Hu‘ffll)- stein were offered, and like the others, the consideration was shown to be §1 in each, This morning the plaintiff will continue the antroduction of documentary evidence and Will probably consume most of the day. MISS LUDINGTON'S HEROISM. The Burglar Who Occasioned it on Trial Before Judge Clarkson, ‘What is parhaps the most sensational burg- lary case in tho history of Omaha was put on trial yesterday morning beforeJudge Clarkson in the district court, The notorious Tom Carroll was the prisoner 8t the bar, The principal witiess for the state is Miss Mary Laudington, a charming young lady and daughter of Dr, Ludington, residing at 2008 Burt stroet, where the burglary was perpe- trated. Miss Ludington’s almost unprécedented Aisplay of daring which fod to the capture of Carroll was the talk of the eity for weeks. The affair occurred about 4 o'clock on the afternoon of March 81, Carroll walked boldly into Dr. Ludington’s residence by the front door, went into the dining-room, took from the sideboard a great qumnl( y of silver, bundled it up, and started to leave the house, ~As he was going out the front door—his boldness seeming to know no bounds—Miss Ludington appeared in his path, and (ru bbing ‘him_ by the arms, commanded him to stana and deliver. “I'll do neither one,” hissed Carroll, “and 1f you don't let go of me I'll shoot you dead." “No you won't shootme dead!" shouted Miss Ludington, reaching for the bundle, As she did so, the nervy hewine gave the dave- devila twist that nearly downed him, and at the same timo uttered several piercing sereams for help, ‘While pooplo were hastening to her assist- ance, sho gave the desperado what he after- ward acknowledged to bo the most surprising tusslo of Lis lifo. She pinched him black and blue, pulled his hairin a painful manner, and continued ympeding his flight until a crowa of wore than twenty-five neighbors and passers-by were attr d to the spot. As two men ‘m;--.xnl'- 0 the door—Miss Ludington having succeeded in keeping her prusoner upon the landing of the steps-—Car- roll jorked away from lis fair captor, and selziog & bar of iron stood off the s, swearing he would brain the first oue who laid bavds oo bim.

When he struck the g on the opposite side James Kelly, a motor car conductor, who had led in the chase, wias upon his back, The dare devil had met his mateh, Carroll had dropped his murderous weapon. It was a man to man struggle now,and during its continuance Carroll, who Is strong as a giant, worsted hisopponent. As he rogained his feet and darted away he found D, C, Calla- han's panting breath in his face. Witha terrible side cut Carroll felled him to the carth and continued his flight. But Callahan was out for the man, and jumping to his feet again was soon at his side, Xl{i\l". this time with a terrific blow with a beer bottle which he had picked up, Carroll made Callahan bite the dust. The blow seemed to have act- ed upon Cailthan's chest as though upor rubber ball. It felled him but only for a mo- ment, for no sooner had he touched the earth than lie bounded upand with a powerful blow knocked Carroll flat upon his face, then getting a lock hold upon the fellow kept him in the dirt until a private detective who hap- pened along put a chain on one of Carrol's wrists. Flaving done this, he shouted to Cal- t him up, I've got him fixed " Supposing that the detective knew whe was talking about and that he had both Carroll's wrists, Callahan let his man up. But nosooner had this been done thun Carroll staggered Calluban with another wicked blow, jerked loose his pinioned hand and got av Even no him, Fairly 1 determination, flew overtook him, struck him on k of the head with his fist, and then the fellow could tiso ramed ‘addi 1pon him that resulted in transfe him into a lamb in the hands of his assai and captor.

He Doesn't Take Much Medicine and Advises the Reporter Not To. “Humbug! Of course itis. The so-called science of medicine is a humbug and has been from the time of Hippocrates to the present. Why the biggest crauk in the Indian tribesis the medieine man,” “Very frank was the admission, especially 80 when it came from one of the biggest young physicians of the city, one whose prac- tice isamong the thousands, though he has been graduated but afew years,)’ says tho Buffalo Courier, *‘Very cosy was his oftice, too, with its cheerful grate fire, its Queen Anne furniture, and its many lounges and casy chaivs. He stirred the fire lazily, lightod a fresh cigar, and went on.” “Take the prescriptions laid down in the books and what do you find! Poisons mainly, and nauseating stuffs that would mako f healthy man an invalid. Why in tho world science should go to pasons for its remedios I canuot tell, nor can I findany one who can “How does a doctor know the efféct of his medicine? ho asked. ‘““Hocalls, prescrihes, and goes away. The only way to judee would be to stand over the bed aud watch the pa- tient. This cannot be done. So, really, I don't know how heis to tell what good or hurt he does, Sometime ago, you remember, the Boston Globe sent out a reporter with a stated set, of symptoms, He weik te eleven prominent physicians and brought back eleven different prescriptions, This just sllows How mucn science there is in medl- cine.” There are local diseases of various charac- ters for which nature provides positive reme- dies.

GaACA iy gy INTERRUPTED THE ORDINATION. A Former Rector Calls a Oandidate for the Priesthood a Liar, At Trinity church in Grand Rapids, Mich., the other day during the cere- mony of the ordination to the priesthood of the Rev. H, H, Johnston, a highly sensational scene occurred. At that point in the service where the bishop challenges the people to declare what- ever moral impediment may be in the way of the ordaining of the candidate, the Rev. H, S. Woodford, formerly rec- tor of Trinity parish, stepped into the chancel and “said: “In the name of God I come forward to protest against the continuance of this ceremony on the ground of the habitual untruthfulness of the caudidate.” Bishop Giilespie demanded that the protestor immediately malce his sp cations and produce his witnes the spot, says a special to the Chicago Tribune. Woodford declared himself unable to do this, sxl*'ing that ho had learned certainly that the ordination was to oceur today, but the bishop insisted that the trial occurthen and there. Woodford asked for only a fow hours’ delay, but it was denied him, He stated that this action had not been taken without the bishop’s knowledge but had been done with his tacit approval, but this the bishop de- nounced as false, when pressed by the bishop to name the witnesses, Woodford declared that he had talked with no one about it, and therefore could not tell what they would testify to,but he named a fow who could if they would testify to certain things. The witnesses were all absent, and the bishop called on them to come forward and unlg that unless they did so0 on the instant, the cercmony would go on. So the ceremony went on and Johnston was ordained.

O'Neill, tho North Ninth street plumber, walked out yos- terday afternoon and have not yet returned to work. The men say that Mr. O'Neill re- fused to abide by a law of the union relating to the number of jobbers employed.

FHe therefore caused awarrant to be issued for the arrest of John Doe et al., claiming that they were playing at poker and other games of chance. The warrant was served about 4:30 by Marshal Melick, Sergeant Miller and Detective Malone, and ' nine men who were coquetting with fortuno at the card table wererun in. They gave their names at the station as William' Allen, Chatles Jones, John Williams and John Swanson, which fictitious names cover the identity of a hardware mer- chant, a pavement contractor, two or three gamblers and other well known men about town. There was a hustling around for bail, and after a long wait all were released in their personal recognizance of $20 to appear at 9 o'clock this morni The majority of them were present, but Bradeen was not as eager to prosecute this morning as ho wi last night, and consented to a continuance for o weelk.

Anna Smith, & coal black negress, acdom- panied by a bright looking little girl, was arragned on the charge of distnrbing the peace in the neighborhood of Seventh and L streets. Anna explained that her two neices came homo from church last night, one of them suffering from & cut admunistered by another girl. The offender was hunted up by the other neice, and it was to prevent them from destroying one another that Anna interfered. As a consequence she was thrown out, and afterwards arrested. The court dis- charged her. George W. Bradeen, the gambler, has re- plevined the paraphranalia taken from his es- tablishment by the police, It is said that Mrs, A. B.

Mrs, Gerrans went east a fow months ago with the avowed intention of studying music, butit seems that she too has been lured to the tootlights, e The Therapeutic Smoking Plpe, An impreved form of smoking pipe has been introduced in England to the notice of the medical profession, pri- marily to provide a means of combating the smoker’s habit and to do away with the injurious elements in it, to which its baneful offects are due, by abstracting the noxious constituents” of tobacco smoke, while leaving the aromatic prin- ciples unaffected. It is hoped by this means to make it available for daily use by delicate orinvalid smokers, to whom prohibition would often be little short of punishment. Secondly, it is suggested that the pipe may be made useful as a means of utilizing the habit of smoking as an adjunct to treatment by inhalation of volatile medicaments, so that the vapor of the remedy employed may bo directed to the affected surfaces. An- other possible usé of the pipe is that of an insufilator, for which its construction specially fits it. i Quaint Old Religious Titles, . In the time of Charles I, and of Crom- well we find the most amusing titles of books. Thusa pamphlet published in 1626 is called *A Most Delectable, Sweet Perfumod Nosegay for God’s Saints to Smell At.” Another is *'A Pair of el lows to Blow off the Dust Cast Upon John Fry,” und another is entitled **The Snuffers of Divine Love.” Cromwell's time was particularly famous for title pages. A book on charity is ‘‘Hooks and Eyes for Believer's Broeches.” We also find “High Heéelod Shoes for Dwarfs in Holiness,” and rumbsg of Comfort for Chickens of the Covenant.” An im- prisoncd Quasker published “A Sigh for the Sinners of Zion, By out of a Hole in the Wall of an Known Amoag Men by the Samuel Fish.” About the same was also published “The Spiritual Mus- tard Pot, to make the Soul Sneeze with Devotion, ™ “Salvation’s Vantage Ground of a Louping Stand for Heavon- ly Believers,” and “A Shot Aimed at the Devil's Hendqnarters Through the Tube of the Cannen of the Covenant.” The nuthor of the lnst work speaks ¢ rectly to the point. Then comes “‘A Reaping Hook Well Tempered for thoe Stubborn Ears of the Crop: or Biscuits Baked in the Oven of Charity Carefully Conserved for the Chickens of the Chur the Swallows of the Spiri the Sweet Swallos “*Seven Sobs of a ¢ ful Soul for Sin, or the seven Poenitentinl Psalms of the Princely Prophet David, whereunto are also annexed William Humnis' Handful of Honeysuckles and Divers Godly and Pithy Ditties, now Newly Augmentod.” The great question of the day “How to keep the Irish dynamite excitement in ageable condition.” Easy enough.
