At tho mooting held at St. Mary Magdo- tene's Catholic church, Tuesday, to considor the advisability of organizing a genoral con- ference of the St. Vincent Do Paul associa- tion, the following churches wero repre- sented: St. Philomena’s Cathedral, Holy Family, St. Mary M 's, St. Josoph's, St. Paul’s, St. Cocilia’ esoan's, St. L.

Prospeots of a Pagsenger Rate War Which Will Cut: Prices Between Chicago and Omaha — A Howard's Market the Scene of Some Expert Work—Ed Parratt Has an Experience with Footpads. ® Ono of the neatest jobs of professional safe blowing over done n this city was revealed yostorday morning at the Prize moat market, run by R. H. Howard, at 1216 North Twouty- fourth street. Not only were the oracksmen experts but they sccured about $63 in money. and a lot of privato papers belonging to Mr. Howard to reward their labors, They effected an entrance by forcing o rear window, tho instrument used being evi- dontly a heavy mcn ana o half chisel, by means of which they pulled out the hook with which the ~window was fastencd st tho bottom, Ouco insido thoy directed their attention to the safe, which was in tho offico, & 5x10 apartment shut off from the market proper by & coiling and glass partition, Two quarter-inch holes wero drilled in the lower left-hana corner of tho door, about four inohes from the edge and five inches from tho bottom. The oxplosive used was nitro- glycerine, and it won't require a post-mortemn 10 tell what is the matter with that safe door, It was a beautiful job of disscction, even if it was done in a hurry, Tho entire inner portion of the safo door ‘was blown from tho outer steel plate just as slick as a whistle, and it couldn’t have been done any smoother 1f tho whole thing had n checso and the oracksmen had goue at it with a knife. The cighteen beavy rivets that held tho door proper to the lining wero cut off ns neatly as you please, and thoe lock was completely demoralized. 50 far as safo-blowings are concerned it was a0 olaborato success, aud the contents of tho safe wero at the mercy of the marauders. Thoy helped themselves with the greatest Lberality. Tho chisel was again called into play, and tho arawers and their contents “-~were soon in their possession. They pried out the steel mouey chest, aud took it away bodily, together with a drawor containing Mr. Howard's private apors, although the latter raceptacia. was ound empty this morning in the back yard of a residenco across tho alloy, where it had boen thrown by the oracksmon, who nad apparcutly departed by way of the alley to ‘wenty-fifth street. ‘T. A. Brown, who is Howard's employer, lives in the rooms over the markot, and was awakoued about 8 o'clock in the morning by s0me noise, probably the explosion, but could mot locate' it HIs' wife also heard it and callod bis attention toit. He made up his mind that it was caused by tho shifting of 1c0 in the fco box on the foor belo Ho had gotten up twico on previous ocon- slous Lo investigate noises coming from this source, 50 did not pay any moro attention to it othor than to listen’ for somo time, but heard nothing except & man who seemod to be passiug aloug the sidewalk whistling, Ho now believes that the whistior was one of the burglars, who was stationed outside for the very purpose that ho served so well A two-months™-old bull pup was chained in onu corner of the market, and Brown says be listened for a loag time to hear the pup whine, which he was certain it would do if thero was anyouo in the market. Ho can ouly account for the dog’s quietness on the theory that one of tho burglars petted it while anotber did she work. It is perhaps just as well for Brown tha @1d not go down and interrupt the proceed- shgs, 88 0 largo steak-kuife was found lying n & shelf near the safe, where it had uu- bedly been placed for use in case of an wuexpecled (ntrusion. It had been taken r the other side of the room where it _~" &ad bean' left the night bofore with all. the other kulves and cleavers, and had not beon used in auy way by the burglars. A gas Jot was loft buraing when the mar The market was burlarized some time ago when the callers got through the same win- dow, but they did not make such a success- tul haul as in this caso. Burglars also attompted to enter the rocory store of Hotzel Brothers, un Cum- ng near Pwenty-fourth, but ware frightened away by the family living upstairs who heard them as they were at work au a rear window. There were three of the men, and it is sup- posed to b the samo gaug that later visited Howard's place. Met a Footpad. Simply becauso ho is tho possessor of & pair of good trusty legs, Ed J. Parratt is alive and is onabled to tell of an experience that ho had with a footpad Tuesday night. Pazratt rsides at 2621 Farnam street and just bofore midnight ho was on his way home from the council meeting, where he attended as a spectator. Ho was walking along the north side of Farnam street and was just passing the Hitoheock flats, between "Twenticth and Twenty-second 'streots, whon a heavy-sot, masked man jumped from a doorwav, and, with an oath exclaimed: *There he is,) Parratt turned around and faced tho fellow and as he did so, the masked man struck at him with o knife. Parratt let out an un- earthly yell, dashod into the middle of the stroot and started for home at a breaknock speed without waiting for a formal introduc- tion to his assailant. When once safely locked in his room Par- ratt made an inventory of his injuries and found that they consisted of a deop cut in the loft shoulder of his coat. While the biade of the knife did not penetrate the skin, Parrott states that for several hours he imagined that ho had been stabbed to the hea Another job was dono by some ‘‘strong arm" men, who held up J. C. Williamson at Fourteenth street and the Union Pacific tracks and rolieved him of a watch aud &7 in monoy. AlL'of theso cases wero reported to the po lico, but the chief denied all -knowledge of thein, while his underlings protosted that no such work had beon done. e e How well wo remember grandmother's attic, so fragrant with medicinal roots and herbs!

Chairman Finley of the Westerg Passenger association is expected to render his dec n on the Alton’s request for a $10 rate to Kan- sas City this afternoon.

A SOCIALISY DETECTIVE. . T. H. Garside, the ‘*‘detective’” mentloned in a dispatch from Philddelphia yestorday as Lhe man who was sevbrely beaten while try- ing to arrest & man sy sed to be Marsh, the fugitive president®¥® the Keystone bank, was woll zuown In certain circles in Chicago. Garside was the leadér df the rabid anarch- ists of New Yoek and came to Chicago in 1833, bearing letters from the radical socwal olubiief New York, of which he was a leadlog member. Hoe was raceived by the Chicagedocialists with open arms, but was too rudical for Tommy Mor- gan, and being in the minority finally left the city. FIANCIS MUKPHY ON PROFIBITION, Francis Murphy, accompanied by his wife, on his way to Spokane 'al stopped in Chicago long enough to say: *I despise pro- hibition and every one counnected with it The movement has stunned every section of country where has been started ana it has injured the cause of lemperance incal- culably, The methods used by the agitators of prohivition uro despicable.

At a meetng of the world's fwr dircctors the supreme MURDERED TO PREVENT PUBLICATION OF PACTS, The murder of Editor W. J. Penrose of tho Daily Journal at Butte, Mont., is still en- veloped in a mystery which seoms no_noaror solution thau it did on the morning after the tragedy occurred. And this notwithstanding the intense public interest taken in the case and the widespread detormination to bring tho guilty parties to justico. Mr. Josoph D. Yonart, for some time man- aging editor of the Helena Journal, and later connected with papers in Butte, says that of all the theories so far advanced the most roa- sonable is that the editor was assassinated to prevent the threatened publication of facts which would have ruined the reputations of somo prominent peoplo. overal peoplo who stood quite high in busiuess and political clecles woro peraanally interested in~ keoping from the public tho facts about certain timbor transactions out thore,” said Mr. Yonart. “Penrose invosti- gated tho subject, and it was to prevent the publication of the story about the steal that ho was shot down. Of course this is only a theory, but thoso who aro best acquainted with "the real condition of affairs out thore aro of the opinion that it is the truo ono.” POLITICAL POSITION OF TIE MORMON. “The Mormons are neithor dead nor sloop- ing, and the talk about the disbanament of tie people’s party 1s all humbug. This is from Manager P, H. Lannan, of tho Salt Lake Tribune, who has been attend- ing a meeting of the world's fair board of control, of whioh he is a member. ‘“The Mormons are the same peoplo-they were when they canfe to Utah in 1847, 30 far as ideas and purposes are concerned,” he con- tinued, *and this talk about the dissolution of this party is only & new subtorfuge. Thoy aro after statehood, and have hit upon this disoandment scheme to secure 1it. “Mind you, they don’t want statehood any longor, 80 thoy suy; tho _patition must. come from the outside.” The scheme is liko this: The people's party will apperently go to pioces, snd if the liborals also soparate and form ' the old party lines, part of tho saints will o into ' the repub- lican camp and part of them will swear fealty to the democratic cause. Then each party will be confidentially in- formed that it may have Utal's threo elec- toral votes in case statehood is secured. Then probably Judge Judd and Parloy Willinms and somo other good democrats will carry the petition for statehood to the democratic house and Judge Bennett might load a simi- lar delegation to the ropublican senate Statehood once secured, the Mormons would have things in their own nands, for they have a majority in the neighborhood of 20,000, and although the old party distinctions of ro: publicans and democrats might_bo kept up, BAf tho republicans would. be Mormona. and half the democrats of the samo faith, und everything from the governor's office down would be controlled and operated by tho saints, You can imagine what a pleasant place Utah would be for the gontiles, We should sim- piy have tho old conditions of things back again with the very serious difference that there would bo no longer the veto of & gov- ernment appointee to ckeck any contemplated outrage in the shape of legislation. “Ivis bard to believe that men, who for over forty years have never dared disobey the leaders of the church, have suddonly bo- come independent, or that these leaders who have ex-communicated Mormons for daring to think for themselves, bave voluutarily re- lonsed control. It is not common senso or common_experieace, and 1o sano man in Utah bely it, Some few may be led away by an itch for office, but the great body of the liberal party will see its true interest in sticking together and disregarding party lines." WESTERN PEOPLR 1N CHICAGO, Among the western people in Chicago today wero the following At tho Grand Pacific—A H. Merchant, —_— STOPPED BY INJUNCTION. Property Ownors Diffor About the Grading of Eighteenth Street. For the time being all work in tho way of arading South Eightoenth street from Loav- onworth to a point 400 feot south of Mason stroet has boen stopped. This contract was lot to McKinney & Hall and tho intention was to have had the job completed by Satur- day night, but an injunction that was issuod by Judgo Wakeloy this morning somewhat changes the plan. The potition that is on filo cites that Catiorine Laue, Holon R. Clark, Mary McGinty, Clementina Mittauor, Anna Olesen, Joseph Clobrella Swanson, Mary R. Cook, Edward Draste, Dora Shipporoit, James Richard and Goorge Kolloy are the plaintiffs. They allegn that the grade of tho et was ostablished in 1552; that at groat cxponse to tho taxpayers, water mains and sidowalks have boen put down; that a sewor has been put undernoath tho street. In ad- dition to this thoy recito that if the grading i3 continued their property will bo ruined, as their housos will bo up in the air like dovo cotes. The plaintiffs urgo that they are the owners of 1,701 foot of tha front along the proposed grade, and that Joseph Micheal and K. B. Richter, who ropresented to the council that they owned 27 feot frontage do not own any property on the street. "Tho hearing has been sot for next Satur- day. Partios on the othorside of tho fight are up in arms and claim that tho petitioners are obstruotionists. Thoy claim that when the grade is comploted ns established 1t will bo one of tho finest streets in the city aud that the hill will bo but five foot to the 100, ‘There was another object in having the streot graded.
