Grading for a New Railrond- Paying the Indians - Robbed an In- Jured Man-Other State News, Liscors, Neb, May 6.—[Special to Tne .]-~The third day of the Sheedy murder trial has passed and no jury yet. The monot- ony of the proccedings had the effect of thin ning the audience, but this afternoon there was a sprinkling of ladies among the specta. tors for the first time, Mrs. Sheedy was ac- companied by her two sisters, sitting between them as on previous days, and in cntering and leaving the court room she leaned upon the arm of her uncle, J. W. Biggerstaff, of Boise City, Idaho, who has come on to give ner the benetit of his wealth and friendship. I'he fair prisoner's composure, which has been the subject of so much remark, was dis- turbed this morning. Her feelings mastered her will and several times sheapplied a haud- kerchief to her cyes to wipe away the silent tears. She made no audible demonstration, and her demeanor otherwiso was so quietand demure as to disarm eriticism and comment After several tlemen had failed to pass the gauntlet of ques- tions by the opposing attorneys this morning the jury box was filled for the first time by the seleetion of 8. A. Groyer, a Bennott b as the twelfth man. Per- emptory challenging being thea in order the procecution claimed the right to make twelve challenges. ‘The court o 1the motion and allowed the state six challenges and each of the two defendants sixteen Juror Ring was excused by the defense and James Hurdman was selected to take his place.

At the vate of progross made today it will take two or three days yot to get the jury, as the defeuse is expected to exhaust its chal- ges to get the bepefits of its innumerable The eieven jurors are in the custody of an officer and cut off from com- munication with outsiders, This is said 10 be the first time in the history of the county that such care has been exercised witha ary. i) The day passed without anything of a sen- sational nature. Kven the opposing lawyers failed to lighten the monotony by a passage At arms, Lut the counsel relieved each other by alternating in the movotonous quizzing. Among the jurymen let out on a peremptory challenge was one who had been convicted of murder in Wisconsin, but the verdict was af- terwards reversed, Grading for a New Road, HarmiNGroy, Neb, May .6—[Special Telegram to Tue Brk]—Graders have commenced work on theextension of the Chi- cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha at Bloomfield. They follow the line recently lo- ted by the surveying corps that has been sho field there, but whether itis for a focal spur or permatent extension cannot be Jearned. Contractors say that instructions frow the railrond company are to grade one mile ouly and as the survey to either Yank- ton or Niobrara would take the same course for this distance, the commencement of work would not interrupt or intorfere with nego- tiations. The reported activity of Sioux City & Northwestern surveyors, n new road that is seeking the same routs to the Black [lills country, is given as the reason for this precipitate rush of actual work on the Bloomtield line. If this is truethe work commenced 1s that of a permanent extension, but, tue secret is weil guarded. It is certain that local railroad ofticials know nothing of the real intent of the railway company's pur- pos Iuterested individuals n competing wns, Yaukton and Niobrara, are equally ignorant and both cities are in a fever of painful suspense awaiting future dovelop- ments, he Crop Outlook, Kransey, Neb,, May 6.

Mr. Blaine intimated 1o tns gentleman that bo felt Le had given the administration much more than he haa received, and resented oeing disci- plined in this manner by the youthfu! scion ot would-be royalty.

PROBABLE RESULT OF AN APPEAL, Democratic Candidates for the Speak- ership Ready for the Contest— Mills and Crisp Appar- SOURTEENTH Wasiixaros, D. C., ) 3| The ousting of Governor Boyd by the su- preme court of Nebraska was somewhat of a surprise to political circies in Wasbington and was the topic of considerable commeut today. The impression has prevailed in judi- cial circles during the contest that Boyd's citizenship would not stand, but inpolitical quarters it was not thought he would go out. The supreme court is expected to get notic of the appeal within a very few duys, but i will not be determined before the October session, as the court expects to adjourn for the summer (when tho associale justices go upon their cireuits) on next Monday. In fact, the court on last Monday announced that it would not hear further arguments before ad- journment and 1s now completing decisions upon arguments wlready heard, and when they are delivered on next Mouday formal adjournment until about next October is to bo taken. Associate Justico Brewer, who presides over the Bighth judicial circuit which embraces Nebrasks, may possibly take up the case and order a stay of execu- tion of the work of the supreme court of the state, but that is uot thought likely. This 18 occasionally done in criminal cases, Theim- pression iu court circles here tonight is that Governor Thayer will b in the chair at least till the supreme court convenes next fall, It nas been suggested that this apveal may properly come before the new circuit court of appeals which was created by an act he last congress and which is to oreanize for that district at Chicago on June 16 next, and tnat it would receive earlier attention there. The circuit conrts of appe: have jurisdiction of cases of this chavacter, namely: Questions of citizonship of the Inited States, or the various states, or con- struction or application of the constitution of the United States or the states, The news- pagers of Washington paragraph the ex- governor variously. ‘The Post this morning had these three editorial mentions, o0d morning, ex-CGovernor Boyd.” s morning Hon. James 1. Boyd of Nebraska fiuds himself in a | i pathize with Hon. Henry W. Blair of Ne Hamuoshire.” “Hou. James E. Boyd no doubt realizes by this time that the supreme court of Nebraska is larger institution than old vox populi.”” THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST, Representatives Bynum, Springer and Mc- Millan are all in the city and the speakor- ship contest is again growing warm. Al.are active candidates for the place. Mills and Crisp appear to be close together in the lead, with McMillin - next behind them and Srringer and Bynum {n the order named. illan openly states to his friends that he not expect to get a large vote on the start, but to come in at the finish when the leading candidates have offsct each other's strength. His forces expect that while p and Mills are stubbornly con- testing the ground and each stopping the other's progress, McMillan will slip by and secure the victory. It appears that Springer and Bynum have been working upon the assumption that there might be a sentiment against giving the speakership to a southern man, As there are more northern than southern democrats in the next house it would be easy to elect a man living north of the Mason and Dixon lie if there were any sectional feeling on the subject, but nono can be discovered so far. It is expected that the speakership will ‘be given to the south, as tho prosidoncy is not open to her, the north being given control of the committees. ‘'hus far in the canvass Mr. Springer has 1 handicapped somewhat by being ill and unablo to take an active part.

Losvox, May 6.—A later received here from Romw s some facts in regard to the riots which took place on say day. Accord- ing to 1t public oficials as well as the people have been in a state of panic for a weei or two. This state of affairs, it appears, is due to several causes, the most important of which are the fall of the myjuistry headed by Minister Crispi, the accedsion ot the Rudini ministry into power, the strong puolic de- mand for an equalization of tho expenses and receipts without fresh taxation, the diplo- matic troubles which have arisen between Italy and the United States, and, finally, the explosion at Pozzopantalo, which caused so much damage and alarm in tome and vicini These incidents have tendad to bring about the fecliug of panic which, as already stated, exists among tne public officials and the in- habitants generally at Rome. In spite of the denials and official statements made to the effect that the explosion at Pozzopautalo was not the work of socialists or anarchists, the Romans ave convinced that the explosion was the work of anarchists, and it will require considerable argument to the contrary to convince the people that they are mistaken. So deeply is this convistion rooted in the public breast that they live in daily expecta- tion of hearing that thers has becn an ex- plosion in another powder magazine or that some public building has been blown up. As this was written before tae fire yesterday, which destroyed the bmevacks and store houses of the Carabieria and which createa so much alarm at the vatican that the entive force of Swiss guards was kopt under arms all night, the fecling now existing in Rome can be ‘easily imagined and especially as the fire currently attributed to the socialists or aumrchists, The feeling of panic referred to in the letter from Rome is thus apparently justified, or at least it has received a sufficient amount of con- firmation to euable the pes nists at least to sav “I told you so.” Conjinuing, the letter says that the crisis bas undoubtedly caused collapse of speculative enterprise, which state of affairs has in turn thrown thousands of workingmen out of employment and in this state of jdleness they . aaturally became dissatisfied with their eumioyers, with the government and the sysiem under which they live, 1In this frame of miod the work- ingined become ready prey for the agitators who are continually digjing away at - the foundations of popular =utent. On Mav aay, this letter says, the Naiional soclety of workingmen was worked hip to fever heat and the wildest repor's . cireulated by those who had everythibg to gain and nothing to lose by & poprlar disthroance. These rumors grew in mportance until it was actually believed thuu It was true that a revolution was impending. These rumors were continually maznifled and nowhere was the panic greater than at the vatican and among the various religioys societies of the city. In this city 1t was stated that these religious bodies had hurriedly stocked their headquarters with five dags p that the inmates had been strictly confined within doors. Ina word the religious com- munities were so alarmed at the socialist taint in the air that they had prepared to stand a seige in the event of a wholesale up- rising upon the part of the masses. But this panic was not confined to the religious bodies. The richer families of the city were also so seriously alarmed that they adopted the same tuctics as the religious institutions and also stored provisions in their. houses and made other preparations to face a serious riot and perhaps an attack upon their residences.

D., May 6.—|Special Telegr to Tne B Another blunder of the last legislature is occasioning the assessors of the state not a little trouble, as the exemption of personal property was so large that a great deal too much escaped. The naw revenue law piaces it at €25 in section 5, but in section “Provided, howoever, that any person, company or corporation in making up the amount of personal property required to be listed for himself, company or corpora- tions, shall be allowed to deduct from the gross amount thereof any indebtedness of himself, company or corporation if the same be ownea or held within this state,” This would go a. lunf ways in annuling the other sections of the law and would virtually result in that little or no per- sonal property would be taxed. As soon as Auditor or had distributed the law with his instructions over the state, letters from assessors commenced piling in on him as to the meaning: of section 18, The states attor- ney of Kiugsbury county came all the way to Pierre to wvestigate it. The auditor did not feel like making a decision inadvisedly, and the supreme court did not cave to make one when called upon. The attorney general in an opinion thinks that it means that debts may be deducted from credits, When Go ernor Melletie returned from his western trip Auditor Taylor roferred the matter to him and he bas made a formal demand on the supreme court for a decision of the question, This will probably be the most important d ision that the supreme court has ever bee alled upon to render. The constitution in articlo 11, sections 5, (G and 7, states that only chureh property and persoanl property, not exceeding §200, stall be exempt from faxa- tion, and all laws rd contrary shall be void, 1f thelaw is sustained in its pi ent form it means that nearly all the the personal property of state will go unas- sessed.

Ho imagines himself the vice president of a band of world reformers, styling themselves as Christ Kol lowers, and to be doomed to carry out the decree of the order, The man's nawme is Charles Dixon and he comes from 1’ueblo, Colo., and the method of his madness is shown by the following story of his campaign against tho Wall streot millionaire: It was vesterday morning that [uspector Byrnes received a telegram from Mr. Gould's house requesting him to meet the railrond magnate at his Wall street ofice, “The inspector went down as requested and soon after his arrival Dr. Munn, Jay Gould's physician, came in. He told the inspector that & man “who calls himself Charles Dixon had come to his house the night before with an introduction from a friend in Pueblo and told a long story, Dixon bad said he belonged to an ovganization known as Christ Followers, very powerful in this country, and had been made a deputy by the counsel to kill Jay Gould. e thought the matter might be fixed. In the year 1888 he had been engaged by a certain newspaper man to carry copy and through this employ- ment he got into the order. At theend of a vear or 50 ho w ked to take the last de- and did so.

Its purposes was the equalization of monoy and property, there beiug too many rich and too many poor people in the country. Its methods, as will appear, were original. On April 15 Dixon was ordered to proceed to New York, obtain by hook or erook an inter- view with Jay Gould and demand $1,000,500 down, §,000,000 in ten ye the rate of £00,000 & year, and still another £5,000,000 in the decade unless Mr. Gould died in the meantime. In case of emergency Dixon was to demand that he provide in his will for part of his entire fortune for educational and charitable purposes, all except $1,000,000 for each member of his fawmil Lhut was the limit, Dixon said that unless Mr. Gould consented to pay the money he would ve killed.
