THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1891. STERLING MORTON ISN'T IN IT @overnor Has His Resignat'on From the World's Fair Commission, JUSTICE COBB SUSPENDS A SENTENCE. Fortune n Fighting Over a tn the District Court—-Suit Which Omaha Parties Are Inters ested—Linco'n News. Lixcory, Neb,, Dee. 10.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—J. Sterling Morton's resigration as a member of the Neoraska World's fair com- mission was placed in Governor ‘Thayer's hands today for the first timo, although it has been in possession of a gentlemun in this city sinco some day last week. Governor ‘Thayer does not wish to make the contents of the Letter pubiic, however, until he has had an opportunity of conversing with Mmr. Mor- ton on the subject. ‘The governor says he re- grots the fact that Mr. Morton has seen fit to withdraw from the commissic Mr. A. . Suwyer, the gentloman who has had the letter in his possession until toda, is a warm personal friend of Mr. Mort He says that Mr. Morton states as his reas ous for withdrawing from the board that he is not in favor of expending the people’s money for such an exhibition, ete. It {8 believed, however, that there wero other reasons, whether the latter states them or not. Governor Thayer states that he will not consider che namnes of possibla successors to Mr. Morton until he bad con- versed with that gentleman. Further than this he declined to discuss the matter, Judge Cobb Suspends : entence. Today Chief Justice Cobb issued an order suspending senteunce in the case of William Tippy, convicted of manslaughter in the dis- trict court in and for Saline county, until further ordors, and also oraering that Tippy be released ou bail, his boods being fixed at £5,000. v 'The crime for which Tippy was convicted was committed at DoWitt, in Saline county, on the evening of November 14, 1501, and was the culmination of a saloon quarrel. Tippy is the proprietor of a suloon in DeWitt and on the evening of thoe day in question Georgo Plunknett wandered into the placein an intoxicated condition, Tivpy and Plunk- nett became involved in a quarrel, and Will- {am Halfacre, Tippy’s bartender, also took a hand. As the quarcel waxed wirmer Tippy ordered Halfacre to throw Plunknrett out, which be did by first striking him soveral heavy blows with his left hand and then kicking him out onto the sidewalk. Plunk- nett died within a fow minutes. When tried for the cvimo both Tippy and Halfacre were convicted of marslaughter and sont to the penitentiury for ten years. Both filed notice of thelr intention toask the supreme court to interfere, but Halfaére withdrew his notice. Notional Guard Commissions, ‘Today Adjutant General Colo 1ssued com- missions to the following rocently elected National guard officers : Captain W. L. Frew, Firsy Lieutenant W. l H. Franklin, Second Lieuteaant Gi. L. Chap- man, all of Company A, First infantry, stationed at York. Captain Fred . Bourne, First Lieutenant Gilbert Palmer and Second Lieutenant Jo- seph A.

Remiogton, Com- pany E, Sccond nfantry, at Chadron, Second Lieutenant D, Aldrige of Company G, First infantry, at Geneva, ‘Lhe following persons have been appointed to vacancies on General Colby’s staff: Allen G. Fisher of Chadron as brigade commisary with the rank of captain. O. L. Green of Kearney as aide-de-camp with vank of first lieutenant. Fighti Over a Fortune. A contested will case involving a snug little fortuune of about $30,000 has baen on trial in Judge Hall's court today. Two years 8go Mrs. Jeunie May, a wealthy Lincoln lady, died. In her will she bequoathed the sum of $20,000 to the African mission cause and to other charitable institutions. The balance of her fortune was to be dividod up amopg three sisters, a brother and two or throe nieces. As a matter of course they contested the will uvon the ground that a woman who failed to divide her whole fortune amoog a miscellaneous assortment of relatives must necessarily be wsane. The contest was first brought in & probate court, but after Judge Stewart had hstened to all the evidence in the case, ard the trial lasted a month, he declared the will good, The heurs.took an appeal and the case is now on in the district court. Nebraska's Silver Anniversary. At 8 meoting of the Lincoln Real Estate exchange lust evening, H. M. Bushnell called attention to the fact that the twenty- fifth anviversary of Nobraska's udmission into the union was rapidly approaching and that it would be fittiug and prover for the city of Lincoln to get up a celebration of the- event and invite the people of tho state gen- erally to participate. He offered the follow- ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the presidentof the Real Estato exchange uppoint a committee of five from Lts meniborsh i, of which the. president shall be one, to net with alike comnmittee from the Board of Trade, the two connittees to comprise a generul sommitie whos duties (v shall be to arrange for a proper colcbration in the oliy of Lincoln of the twenty-fifth anni- versary of tho admission of Nebraski to-tho union. Lincoln's Real Estate Exchange. The Lincoln Real Estate exchange held its annaal meeting last evening and elected ofticers for the ensuing year, Seoretary Gil- lilan's report was an interesting document, He alluded first to the establishment of the grain inspection department at Lincoln and then of tho progress of tho city’s manufactur- ing industries, and finally of “the importance of securing beet sugar factories for Lincoln, Seven dircetors for the eusuing year were elacted, as follows: J. H. McClay, J. J. Gil- Ilan, H. M. Bus nell, A, E. Kennard, A. D, Kitohen, M. L. Trester and \W. E. Stewart. The directors then held a mecting and re- elected J. H. McClay president, H. M. Bush- nell vice president, J. J. Gillilan secretary and A, E. Kenvard treasurer. Another County Seat War. The records of the supreme court are again cumbered with the voluminous documeonts of another dreary and interminablo county seat war, This time iv is Dagota county. TLast August tho comrmissioners of that’ county called a special election tor the relocation of the county seat. A numerously signed re- monstrance was presented which the com- missioners refused to heed. Tue district court sustained the commissioners and now the people who do not want the couuty seat relocated are asking for the interference of the supreme court. Omaha Light Guards, ‘There are no new developments in the pro- ject to unite the Omaha light guards with the Nebraska National guards, although the national guard officials are extremely anxious to bring about such a consummation. Adju- tant General Cole today spoke in bigh terms of the efficiency of the Omaha guards, He said he would like to see an appropriation made by the next lezislature suficiently large to organize and equip another regiment, and further that he would like to see the new regiment made up at Omaha as far as F:lliblo and an armory built and maintained ore. Omaha Parties Interested, An important case in which about thirty firms and individuals are interestod, is on trial in Judge Fields' court. Last February, Heyman & Deiches of Omaba fmled in business, and a number of creditors filed claims against a branch store in this city. Sheriff McClay was appointed receiver, and after selling the steck of the Lincoln store and paying all necessary expenses, ho had a balanee of uearly $,000 to divide among the oreditors. The case before Judge Fields is instituted for the purpose of insuring a just and equitable division of the amount. They Had a Pretty Scorap. Dr, O'Connor has an office, or a room, or something of the kind wa the Barr block, on O street. His personal relations with Colonel Barr have been somewbat strained for some time, owing to certain reckless tions made by the colouel agalust the immediate ancestry, Last eveuing two gontiemen met, aud tue doctor pro- cooded not only to dofy the allegation, but to lick the allogator, and in o fow moments the colonel's classic features resemblod @ topo- graphical survey of the Rocky mountains.

The result dis- closes the fact that thare are 4,516.61 miles of railway lines all told 1u the stato. The as- sessed valuation ol the various lines 1s $30,- 035,215.64. There are 13,352 persons em- ployed in this state in various occupations in- cideut to railway servico, There is $10,525,860.61 in cash distributed every year in Colorado as a grand total dis- bursement of wages paia by the various rail. ways. During the year there have been only two strikes of importance on railways in Colorado. One was the sympathetic strike of Burling- ton switchmen, April 10, to sustain the Lin- coln switchmen. It was unsuccessful. The other was the strike of the Union Pacific brakemen at Trinidad, April 21, fo-increased pay. It was successful. The average monthly wages paa in the various branches of employment of railway labor are: Train service—engineers, 3120 to 8150; firemen, 375 to $5; conductors, passon- ger, $100 to 3120; conductors, freight, $35 to 8100 brukemen, $08 to $95. Telegraph serv- ice—dispatchers, $105 to $125; operators, $50 to 800. Station agents—largest stations, $125 to $175: smaller, $10 to$35. Clerical labor is paid from 50 to $50 per month, and is tho poorest paid of tho ralway service. ‘This is on account of the greut number of clerks who come to Colorado for their nealth, and who, in order to secure a position, worlk for bavely enough to live on. ——— The Howescale took first premicmat Puila delphia, Paris, Sydney and other exhibitions Borden & Selleck Co., Agts., Chicago. - SERIOUS CHARGES.

While they caunot longer deuy that the boycott hns been @ dismal failure, they urge that the end it was intended to accomplish ha becn arranged by other anda better means, W now proposo s that & combination may be formed botween the eastern and westorn roads whereby an equitaole division of all the busi- ness can be made among all the roads repre- sented in the combination and each agree not 1o pay commissions in the territory of the other. ‘The proposition has been re- ceived by ‘a nuwber of the westeru roads with a good deai of favor. Burhington Secured the Prize. Arrangements have been completed by the Burlington road for the transportation from Chicago to Denver next August of St. John's commandery, Knights Templar, trom Phila- dolphia on its pilgrimage to its triennial con- clave. This commandery will act as es- cort to Most Emioent Grand Commander Gobin of the grand commandery of the United States and a superb special train composed of Pullman sicepers, aining, ob- servation and baggoge cars will be furnished for the party, which it will occupy as its home during tho entiro period 1t (s on the pilgrimage, The party will go from Phila- delphia to Cleveland over the Pennsylvania, from Cleveland to Detroit over the Michiean Southern, from Detrolt to Cbicago ovér the Michigan’ Central and fron; Chicago to Den- ver by the Burlington.

Democratic Factions at War, The democracy of central and southern Tlinois is in bad shape. It is rent and torn by factional warfare that is greatly aiarming party leaders. The wore immediato cause was the refusal of Congressmen Forman, Wike, Fithian and other frienas to support and 'stand to tho last by Conuressinan Springer in the Iate race forihe speake General Palmer has strained_eyery ne ring the warring cliques and clans together. he trouble is said to be the outgrowth of a “printing combine' whicn oxisted in Spring- fleld some years ngo. Springer was charged with being 1interested in the combine and made an enemy of Forman, then a voung state senator. When Formah was elected to con gress he determined to *1ay" for Springer. The opportunity came when the lutier got the speakership bee in his bounet. Forman combined witn Morrison to defeat him, and the result is that central aud south- crn Tlinois is cut clean aad clear in two in the middie, Crusade for Free art, Artists and sculptors, critics and lovers of art have signed an apoeal to tho reprasenta- tives in congress for the abolition of the tariff on art after Miss Kate I'ield’s earnest and forcible speech at the Chicago athen® um. Resolutions were adopted asking in behalf of the artists and art lovers of Chi- cago, “‘thav all obstructive measures to the introduction of urt and its ideas into the United States, being hurtful to the general welfare of its peonle, shoud bo removed by entirely abolishing 'the existing tariff on works of art,” Odds and Ends,. E. Judge Tree of Chicago regards the elec- tion of Mr. Crisp as a_personal victory and as without important significance on ques- tions in which the party is interested. “I do not think that the victory of Mr. Crisp is significant as to the position of the party on the tariff, the silver question or can- didates.” said he. ' “In the northwest [ be- lieve there is a strongly growing sentiment in favor of a reform iv the tariff, and that Grover Clevewnd will be the democratie can- didate.” ‘There is a hitch in the sparrow bounty Taw. Not a cent has yet been paid by the county in conformance with the law, and ncarly 4,000 heads have beeu presented at the city clerles office. It 13 now stated thav the county board may refuse payment on tue ground that the sparrow law is unconstitu- tional. A jol delivery occurred at Galesburg, 1L, last night, cleven prisoners escaping from the prison. There seems to have been outside assistance.

VT *UGAR, Pert nent Remarks Concerning braska's Growing Inductry. When the Lineoln Board of Trado was dis- cussing the proprtety of holding a beot sugar congress, Mr. M. A. Lunn of Cranc Island, made the following speech which, as much a8 anything, caused the decision to hold the congress called for December 17, My, Lunn said: This industry has become an established reality in this state and is no longer a legiti mato subject for conjecture. The essential and mater *ts have been unquestionably demonstrated which prove conclusively that the naturat condition of soil and temperature of the stata of Nobraska are more favorable for the production of beats having a higher saccharine richness than any other country in tho world. The commercial importance that it will be 10 the people of this state to manufacture the sugar that 15 used by them cannot b esti- mated. A slight cor.coption of the most direct benefits that woula accrue were this the case, can only be partilally imagined when we reflect by comparison the amount of sugar thut is annually consumed by the United States. According to the best statistics ob- tainable wo find our importations amountad to 3,4 vounds, and that the produc- tion in the United States was i0ss thaa 20), 000 tons. This would indicate a total of 5,005.703,835 pounds, but we musv reatize that some of the importations are, aftev refining, exported.

Ot this amount d eight pounds per capita of _‘Tie annual cost of sugar to each individual'in the United States would be $2.6), based upou these conservative fig- ures and comuufed av43{ cents par pound. This would amount to 5 cents per week, or 57 of a cent per day for each individual. 'Tn- significant as tiresd figures may seem to be it will amount to&275,106 for the peaple of Nebraska, with a popnlation of 1,550,910, Ior Douelas county, which has the largest population of any county in the state, it would amount to over $100,000 annual money encugh to ‘estaplish eight n banks with £50,00) capitul each. For Lancaster county it would amount to nearly $200,000, or enough to capitalize four national banks 6f &,000 each. Fov Gage couiily, the third largest in the state, it amounts tg §55,000 anbuatly. The erowth of tho beet sugar industry has been very rapid during the last thirty vears, whea 1t was fivst thken thoroughly inhand. 'The world’s output. of beet sugar for the years 1860 and 1531 was, according to M. Licht, 387,000 tons, whereas for the years 1390 and 1891 it is gompited by the same au- thority at 3,650,000 tons as ugainst 234,000 tons of cane sugar, a total of exactly 6,000,000 tons, an excess of Deet sugar over cano of 1,820,000 tons. 3 As Germany, France ond Austria are the largest producers of sugar from beets we will give the aver 203t per acre of rais- g beets in France in the following de- tailed tigures furnished by M.

The charge of harves! ing is very low from the fact that the top- ping of the beets is performed by women and children whose average wages do not exceed 15 cents per day. muca less than the estimates call for in this country, while the charge for fertilizers is much greater than we shult need on outsoils for some years to come. Tho averago yield per acre obtained by Dulay is Lwenty-five tons, showing the value of 1ntensive rming. It will be notived that the cost of fertilizers applied to the ground, tozether with rent and taxes, amount to £0.025 per acre, We are of the opinion that if an equal amourt of money is expended in tha state of Nebraska per uere for labor, ground vont ane taxes, that is expended in France foe tertiliz- ers. vent and taxes, that the vesult will be an equal g0 tonnugo per acre, und when we again compare tho percentuge produced in Nebraska which tus *maintained an average of about German in this r per cent with those of E'rancea: v, we have still a greater advantage spect.

Several farméi’dt Grand Island have grown from fiftédif'to twenty-one tons of beets per acre this year, at an average cost or about $30 peracre, the contract price of which was $ per ton.

Formation of the Zllverein with Germany as the Center Atout Completed, COMING OF THE INDUSTRIAL SEDAN, Prince Bismarck's Sententions Proph- ecy Heing Realized—Funeral ot Dom Pedro—Mystery o Boulevard du Temple. [Copyrighted 1891 by James Gordon Bennett.] Paus, Dee, 10.—|New York ITerald Cable —Special to Tur Bre.|—An event of Incal- culable importance has just occurred in k rope. Germuny has signed treaties of com- merce with Austria and Italy hostile to I'runce mnd Russia, The vast commercinl union, of which Germauy is the inventor and tho pivot, and to which her wilies are the first adherents, has been strengtiencd by the admission of Switzerland and Belgium, who have signed trontios with Germany and Aus- tria. Negotiations have also been begun between Austria and Turkey, Bulgaria, Roumania aud Servia. Germany is negotint ing with Holland, who has made proposals t Belgium, and Belewm will soon bave signed treaties with Denmark and Germany. The latter country has moreover already made advances to Denmark and Tur- key. “This zollverein will thus embrace the whole of Buropo cxcopt Krance, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal und Greece. But Spain s on such bad torms with us that she will no doubt soon adhero to the new leazve, and grave fears are still entertaed lest England should do likowise, 1f her interests demanded it. France in a Bid Way. Such are the plain facts with which the French parliament finds itself confronted at the close of the debate on the tariff, It is, thanks to our vrotectionists, that Beleium has joined the zollverem, and that Spain may imitate her. By treaty with the United States Germany is assured of a market for her sugar, Her object in the presont movement1s to develop her industries. She will now be able to wage bitter war against the industries of rance, which until now she has combatted by fraud and adulteration. Despite all this the French chamber continues its rulnous protectionist policy. Bismarck ouce said: *France must have hor ndustriai Sedan.” It begins %o look as though the ~ex-chancellor’s prophecy bad been realized, and as politics are less a mat- ter of sentiment than of interest, and the in- terests of most Buropean powers bind them to Germany, it nust be feared that by our own fault we havo lost three-quarters of tho beefit derived from the entente with Russia. Burial of the mperor. The funeral of Dom Pedro 11 took place vesterday. Unbappily it rained, and tho bad weather kept many people at home who would otherwise have attendod the faneral. Troops were massed around the Madcleine during the ceremony. The body, which was conveyed 1o the church in the night,rested on a bag containing some Brazilian earth, which the late emperor had orought with him to vemind him of his native land. An immense crowd filled the building. Among the mourners were the diplomatic corps and the leading members of the Bra zilian colony. The ceremony lnsted an un- usually long time, but had nothing charac- teristic about it. 'The cardinal archbishop of Paris gave the ansolution. On the way from the caurch tothe Gare @'Orleans many thousands had turned out to pay a 1ast tribute of respect to tho emperor. The appearance of the Russian military at- taches ‘in the cortege was greeted several times on the way with shouts of “Vive la Russie.” ‘vhe members.of the imperal family fol- lowed the nearse in conches, This hearse had done duty uiready at tho funerals of the duc de Morny and M. Thoirs, The imper al insignia adorned the bier. Much curiosity was uroused by the uniforms of the ex-ofti- cials of the Brazihan court in the procession. Gor the Wrong Man. It now seems that the police made a mis- take yesterday when they arrested a man on suspicion of being the author of the murder ou the houlevard du Temple. The whole affair grows more and_more mysterious. It is now suspected that the crime was not of an ordinary kind, ana that the authorities will have to riddle out a sensational private darama, The debate on the religious question took an academic turn in the senate today, The leaders of the various political groups made speeches. n reply to one the minister of justice said that in the existing laws the gov- crument had all the arms it needed to insure its supremacy. Nothing serious was likely to compel 1t to adopt exceptional legislation against the church. If any ecclesinstic showed disrespect to the soyérnment of the republic, bis allowauce would be stopped. In o very vigorous speech M. de Freycinet added that the government would rever abandon the last conquest con- cerning the educational and military la JACQUES ST.

The rear end came thundering toward the city and made the teip in a very few minutes. One car jumped the track at Division street and erashed into Jobn Crowl's house, fully ten rods from tho track. The house wus badly wreciced but Mr. and Mrs. Crowl were only thrown out of bed and severely bruised. They thought aterriblo cyclono had struck the city. A second car and the caboose wero set on fire and were ull afame when they jumped the track. Thoy brought up in u heap against the house of Alexunder Emerson and_set it on fire, also the adjoining residence. Tho in- mates of both dwellings barely escaped with their lives and with only theéir night clothes to cover them. Several freight cars are piled up in splinters.

Heretofore the roads have given these farmer representa tives o hall rate, no questions being asked, out this year it was decided to make the til- lers of the soil who came up to Indianapolis 1o uttend agricultural meetings pay full Tare. The wovewment against the railroads has been set going by the ule makers' association adopting resolutions scoring the trafic asso- ciation and demanding the legislaturo pass a cent law. A committeo was appomnted Lo carey the matter before the legislature. 'The various other industrial organizations which followed tho tile makers will take up the question, and the Stato Board of Agricul ture will lend its influence towards “getting evew’ with the railroads.

STy AM MENT: In times past we have had musical come- dies and we have had comic uperas, and now we have a product of combined musical and dramatic effort which the managers fecl called upon to labe! “a musical comedy, not a comic opera.” Of this latter day inven- tion is *Uncle Celastin,” which opened an engagement at the Boyd 'last night in the hands of one of Rudolph Aronson’s com- panies. The advertisoments | great, stress upon the music by the distinguished | composer Auaran, and the performance by an opera company from a theator devoted to overa, until the too confiding newspaper reader might well be excused if he exvectod acomic opera. Heneo tho label serves a useful purpose, besides preserving the pride of the composer. ‘'ho basis of the affair is one of those amus- ing complications the French aro so clever | at contriving. ‘The Pontaillacs, supposing they have inborited a fortune from an unclo who kept an_inn near Paris, started out to cut a dash, only to learn that in order to got the lesacy they must conduct the inn them- selves for six montns. They had alread mado overtures to Count Accacias for an al- liance between their daughterand a debauch- ed young sprig of thut noblo family They decide to run the inn in disguise, but ive it out that they are going to Switzer - land. The Accacias gnnounce uan intended tour of Ttaly, but they go to the same inn to remain quistly durmg thewr supposed ab- souco. The Lwo famiiies exchange lotters through foreign postoftices, and tho opportu- nities for - amusing siluations may bo imagined. On account of their disguise tho Pontaillacs are un- able to prove their identity, and e fortunc is declared lost to them. In the final act a bust of the dead uncle, which had been cherished by Clementine of tue house of Pontaillac, is broken and reveals a codicil to the will bequeathing the entire fortune to the girl who had loving thoughts for the old uncle. The noble but impecunious Acca are incontinontly snubbed, and Clewentine secures the lover of her own chol Uncle Celestin'’ contains the basis for a highly successful entertamment, from the box oftico point of view, and Omaba i3 favored with one of its earliest performances 1 this country. The music will not add par- ticularly to the laurels of the composer of “Olivotte’ aud e Mascot,” but it is tuno- ful and will, no doubt, receive touches and additions of tue Yankeo flavor, which will add to its ‘humor, if not to it art, 1t does not call forsingers of extraordi- nary ability, but iv the Aronsou combination it finds capable interpretors, and it is notico avle that the company carries a chorus wuch lurger than the demands of the performance would seem to require. The chief sin part, that of Clementine, is borne by Aunie Meyers, who has a clear, flexible, well trained voice that is not taxed to show its capacity. Tu the com iy tho honors ave carried off by Jeiferson Do Angelis, whose Pontaillac is u Ho uas excellent deliciously droll creati assistance from Max Freeman, representing a humble friend of tho family, Miss Jennie Reiffert us Madame Pontaillac, Henry Me- Donough as Count Accac Miss Jeunio Weathersoy as Countess Accacias and Maur- ice Abbey as their son. The comedy is worked out logically ana really makes a very clever entertainment, though one may im- agine dozens of ‘‘gags" and topical verses which will come to it by accretion and tickle the risivilities oftener.
