A couple of wealthy capitalists from the east are in correspondence with local parties with a view tolocating a harness factory here which will employ in the vicinity of 100 men the year round. They have a capital of £50,000 which they aro willing to invest in the enterprise in casoa man of the right kind can be found to go in with them, furnish a share of the stock and undertake tho management of tho business. They have been led to look up Council Bluffs as a pros- pective location on account of its excellent railroad facilities, and according to the state- ment of & prominent implement dealer the only thing that now stands in the way is their inavility to interest local capitalists in the plan, It is to be hoped that the scheme will uot be allowed to fall through, There are only two harness factories of any size in this part of the country, snd almost the entiro supply has to e brought from the cast. There is plenty of room for an enterprise of this kind, and what is waiting for the men who engage o it may be judged from the case of a Omaha firm which ensbarked inthe business eight or ten years ago with a capital stock of pothing but push and is now rated at §70,000 by tho commercial agencies, e How are your awnings?

WILL MAKE SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES Lumber for the Additions to Be Made to the Company's Property Already on the Ground — Other Local News Notes, The Burlington Railway company 18 mak- ing preparations for improvements in tho freight depot which will enable them to fur- nish their patrons better facilitios. The tre- mendous amount of business which is being done in the implement line renders it impos- siblo for the improvemonts to be made at once, but they will be begun as soon as the spring rush is over. The frelght depot, which is in two sections at present. will bo brought to grade and thetwo sections united, the whole beiwng sarroundad by a platform, which will be about 100 feet lonigor on each end of the depot than it now 1s. ‘The road which encircles tho depot will be paved, so that the heavily laden wagons will not sink out of sight in the mire as they have done 1n the past, The lumbver for the platform is already on the ground and work will be commenced as soon as possible with- out interfering with the freight traflic. With reference to a now passenger depot, matters are at a standstill. W. J. Daven- port, freight agent of the company in this city, states that the officials of the company are all ready to build a new local depot as soon s it is decided defimitely that Council Bluffs is not to have a union depot. He has been trying for many months past to induco the company to build without waiting for the othec matter to be decided. Theoffcials, howaever, are not wiiling to spend §10,000 or £15,000 on a local depot with a probability of having to spend 35,000 or $o on & union depot,soon. Incidentally it might be mentioned that the construction of the Northwestern local depot is to be commenced at once, word to that effect laving been received from head- quarters. Tho officials of this road stato that the erection of a local depot will have no effest, whatever, on their connection with the union depot scheme, either for or against. They are so situated tuat a local depot will be a necessity to tholr business, and they still consider themselves bound by their contract 10 g0 1nto the uuion depot scheme when the other roads are induced to fulfil their share of the contract. GOLD CUR The Blanchard Institute Ready to Cure the Vietims of Whisk, and Tol With more railronds than any other city in the west, with nearly 100 passen- ger trains coming and_ going daily and the largest and finest hotels in the Mis- souri valley, the wonder has been for months past why a bichloride of gold cure institute has not been established here. No city in the west affords such opportunities” for people to slip in quictly and take a course of treat- ment and get aw without the annoyance of publicity, It is not sur- prising that while local physicians were making elaborate arrangements for oponing a big establishment, shrewd parties from abroad should perceive the opportunity and quickly take advantage of it. 'Ihe field is now fillea. Com- mencing Monday the Blanchard insti- tute will be able to take carc of all who desire to break the thraldom of alcoholism, the opium, morphia and tobacco habits, Oftices have beon fitted up on the sccond floor over thea'‘Corner” hookstore, opposite the postoffice building, and Mr. Blanchard and his assistants will be glad to meet any and all'the unfortunates who desire reitef. He will guarantee a_quick and safe cure of all those terrible habits, and will insure a disgust for the pernicious stimulants that will be an effective and permanent preventive. During the coming week he will treat alimited number of patients free of charge to show the prompt and wonderful effact of the cure. Handsome and cozy offices have been fitted up and they will no doubt be visited by many people from western Towa in the future. —_— Reiter, the tailor, 310 Broadway, has all the latest styles and newest goods.

The follov7ing parties were sentenced yesterday S.D, Viers, $175 and thirty days; Charles Glarlk, 300 and ninety dags: Charles Rhoades, £250 end forty days: W.~ W.

The case of the United States against Har- lan Thompson was tried and occupied nearly the entire day, it being given to tho jury just before the hour for the evening ‘adjourn- ment. Thompson is & young man of 16 years or thereabouts and " is charged with onfering a building last Soptomber at Nodaway, which is used as a storo and post- oftico combined, and stealing $1.50 from the cash drawer of the postoftice. Detectives were put upon his trail, and it was not long before Thompson was arvested, the clew by which the crimewas fastened upon him being a mavked Canadian 50-cent plece which it was alleged he had pasiea on a mer- chant of the town. A number of witnesses were introduced and all wers put under o searching cross-examination by Attorney James McCabe, who appeared for the de- fenso. Assistaut District Attorney Howell of Kookuk managed the prosecution, the prosecuting attornoy, Lewis Miles, naving eft for his home in Corydon ycsterday morning. After a short absen co the jury returned a verdict of not guilty and Thompson was dis- charged. ——— We have our own vinoyards In Califor nia. Jarvis Wine company, Co.

H. Freuch presented a petition asking that the county take steps to Srmm the en croachment of & washout on the road near Loveland. The vetition was refused, the board haviog no jurisdiction in the matter. This decision was in wccordunce with the re- port of the county attorney, to whom the matter was referrad for aavice Mayor Lawrence and the finance commit- tee of the city counecil paid a visit to the board in the aftérnoon and spent some time discussiug the Cut-Off island case. At the conclusion of the conference the supervisors decided to make an appropriation of $300 as their sharo of the amount needed to carry on the litigation. In the case of Demme & Dierkes against R. Morgap, io which & judgment was ren dered two or three weeks ago in favor of the plaintiff for $131.95 An execution was re- turned yesterday unsatisfied. The plaintiffs made application for an order of court to have the defendant and his son, C. A. Mor- gan, brought in for an examination as to their property. The order was issuea and the case will bave a hearing this afternoon at 2 0'clock in the superior court, —— Nlacksmith Shop Burglarized, A blacksmith shop belonging to John Ahles, the redoubtable socialist, has been made the objective point by a gang of thieves for some time past. It is Jocated on Broad way between fourteenth and Iifteenth streets, and the damage is supposed to have been done by some of the people living in the neighborhood. Nearly ail the tools in the shop were stolen early in the week, and vesterday it was found that the side of the huilding had been broken in and the building itseif almost demolished. The«latter seems to have been done ovt of pure malice, pltiebsh -l AMUSEMENTS, The retirement of Edwin Booth from the stage, which promises to be permanent, leaves America without & great ‘‘Hamlet,” but there are several younger men striving to become worthy the successorship of that eminent actor. This aspiration 18 wholly commendable and is the justification of any earnest, intelligent effort for its realization. Mr. Robert Mantell has entered the lists for the coveted honmor, and Omaha was afforded the opportunity at the Boyd Jast evening to test his powors and measure their promise. The re- sult 18 hardly reassuring to the citical ob- server. Mr. Mantell brings spirit and ntel- ligence to his work, and in some of the pas- sages of stormy emotion sweeps away criti- cism, but by far the greater ime his acting is palpable. His posing is too obvious, his falsotto too sybillant, his reaaing too decla matory and his subtloty too elusive. Despite theso faults Mr. Mantell presents an inter- esting interpretation, which finds uch favor with the general audience. Miss Charlotte Bolrens is an act ress of moderate powers, who has the good sense to keep within hor limitations, and sha presented a graceful and acceptable characterization of “‘Ophelia.,” O the bal- anco of the company hittle can bo said in vraise. Their merit was indifferent 1f not wholly wanting, but their use may be justi- fied in the assumption that tho ambitious star must employ such agencies as he can afford. —_—— TIRED OF LIFE. Jnck Conway Secks Surcease from Life's Tu- multuous Stri John . Conway, better known as Jack Conway, the brother of “Tim the coun man,” attempted to commitsuicide last even- ing by shootine -caliber ball through his left lung at his room at the corner of Six- teenth and Corby streots. Young Conway had been drinkicg heavily all day. About noon Conway remarked to his land- lady, Mrs, Stevens, that he would rather dio than live, but no attention was paid to his talk as he was pretty drunk. About 6:30 Mrs, Stevens heard a pistol shot up stairs over the saloon aud alarmed the men who were in the saloon below. ‘Tue door leading into the room oceupied by young Conway was locked, but was broken down. Conway was found lying on the bed with a bullet hole in his left breast just above the heart. A doctor was called and after an examination ordered a removal to some hospital. This was objected to by his friends, He is badly hurt, the doctor says, but the chances are favorable for his recovery. — Discussed Parks and Dirty Streets, A meoting of the Real Estate Owners as- sociation was hela yesterday afternoon in its quarters in tho New York Life building. In regard to the deplorable condition of the streets the following resolution was passed: Whereas, The taxpayers ana people of the ity have wated far beyond what could reasonably be expected of them for the city contractor to sweep the streets and Keep them in decent condition. Therefore, Kesoived, That in our judgment the time has come when It Is the duty of the city of- ficials o settle the question whether business men und_other citizens are to suffer from the neglectof contractors or whether they have rights which contractors are bound to re- spect. We are in favor of vizorous, immedi- ate and imperative nction on the part of the mayor and city officials which will place the streets of the city in the proper con lition un1 s0 keep them. If there are uny differences between the city and the contractor for sweeping strects the place to adjust such dif- ferences Is in the courts. Meanwhile the streots of the city should not be neglected. There is a very gricvious wrong belng verp trated upon our citizens by the shameful con- dition of the streets and we call upon tha proper authorities to correct the evil without delay. A committee of thrée, composed of Messrs. Taylor, Reed and Bedford, was appointed to act in conjunction with a similar committee of the council in devising some means to remedy the unequal assessment on taxable property. The park question was also informally dis- cussed. Mr. Boggs said thut the city needed inside parks for the poor people who could not afford every evening to expend their savings in street car fare to go away out. Mr. Benson, who thinks that the price of the parks, as accepted by the park commis- sioners, Is excessive, said that the owners of one of the accopted parks was, a fow weeks ago, trying to sell him the identical picce of projerty for one-balf the amount of money that the city will pay for it. Mr. Benson would not montion the park or owner to whom he referred. In relation to the Nebraska Central rail - road’s bond proposition a committee com- prising Mossrs. Benson, Taylor and Hicks was appointed to confer with J. H. Dumont and A, L. Reed, who will in detail explain the proposition of the new company.

An open laber mieeting will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Barker block. The meeting will be in the interests of painters, but tho Central Labor union ex- tends an invitation to all tradesmen to at- terd. Thursday night Organizer Musser of the central union organized the electricians with nineteen _charter members. There are about 120 electrical workers in Omaha and Council Bluffs, and it is thought the majority of them will join the uniou, As soon as the organization was ef- fected a charter was order from the National Brotherhood of Electricians of America, which bas its headquarters at St. Louis. The charter is expocted Monday. At the next meeting of the local union threo dele- gates will bo elected to represent 1t at the meotings of the Central Labor union, o Arrested the Attorney. Attorney Willlam Simeral enjoyed the ex- perience of being arrested in Council Bluffs Thursday on a charge of embezzlement. He went over thero to cause the arrest of Emil Schurz, a B luffsattorney, on a similarcharge, and was successful. His own arrest was the result of Schuvz’ attempt to retaliate. It seems that Schurz cellected $49.15 aue Milton Rogers & Son from IR, L. Williams, and refused 1o turn it over when the demand was made. He claimed that be was about to collect it on execution even after it was in his possession, and when Simeral went over on the first of the month and in- sisted on a settlement Schurz gave him 8 check on the Citizens bank in part pay- wment, The check was protested when pre- sovted for l{mnlll at the bank. Schurz al- leged that E\' iams did not pay the full amount of the judgment and tbat when he (Schurz) refused Lo receipt the docket in full Williams 1structed him not to turn over the money. Williams, however, denied this and showed Schurz' personal receipt for the full amount. Simeral decided to act, and bad Schurz arres The latter filed a complaint alleg- ing that Simeral had collected a unote for §25 and withheld the proceeds. Simeral states that be did not collact the money, but ou the contrary returued the note to Schurz some time ago. Hoth defendants were released on bail in the sum of $300 each. Simeral states that Schurz’ assertions tothe effect that the matter will be settled and prosecution dropped 1s without foundation, as he proposes to push the case o the end. _— The Nebraska Futurity, The Nebrasks Futurity stake of §20,000 has been secured aud such horses as Palo Alto, Allerton and Axtell have bien nomi nated.

WON A DIPLOMATIC VICTORY England Seores 'a Bnocess Against France and Russia fii Bgyptian Matters, OBJECTING TO AN IRISH PARLIAMENT Hot Talk at a Meeting of the Ulster De- fense Committees appenings in Partin- ment—Teetotalers In Manchester— Mrs, Maybrick Interviewed., [Copyrighted 1892 by New York Associatel Preas.] Loxnos, April 8,—Lord Salisbury has scored a victory in the diplomatic contest with France and Russia over the firman of investure of the khedive of Egypt. The po sition has for a past woek harassed and per- pioxed the foreign office, perhaps more than even the Bering sea question ever did. 'The sultan stole a march upon Eoghsh diplo- mats in sending & firman so phrased as to oxclude from the Egyptian frontier the whole Sinai peninsula and part of the Red sea which hias been held by Egypt for half a century. Before the firman was drafted the Eoglish ambassador at Constantinople, alive tosome action of this sort, demanded that tho.document snould not introduce any ques- tion concerning the frontier and received assurance that the firman should nou touch the khedive's rights, Suspected Duplicity. When the sultan’s envoy, Aoub Pasha, ar- rived at Cairo. the British minister, Sir Evelyn Baring, suspecting some duplieity asked for a copy of the documant, and when Aoub Pasha refused to communicate the con- tents of the firman until after the investure Minister Baring advised the khedive not to procoed with the ceremony. Aoub Pasha then disclosed tho substance of the firman, the nature of which had baen known to and approved by Franco and Russia before the missive left Constantinople. The consuls general at Cairo atonce ar- ranged themselves on two sides, the Italian aad Austrian representatives meeting at tho English embacsy and the French and Rus- sian diplomats at the residence of the Turk- ish plemipotentiary. The Italian squadron, which was about to leave Alexandria, got orders to stay and the officers on leave wero recalled to their ships, including the admiral, who was junketing at Cairo. Yesterday the British and Ttalian ambas- sadors at Constantinople sent & note to tho grand viceroy saving that the firman mus be altered or Aoib Pacha recalled. There seems to havo been no mistaking the em- phatic and peremptory character of the note and there was an immediate resalt. A tele- gram was received by the : khedive from the sultan toduy, saying that the firman would be modified, omitting the definition of the froatier. It transpires that Aoub Pasha had two documents of investure. one setting off a portion of Egypt and tho other consonant with Lord Salisbury’s view. Tonight's Cuir dispatches say that the statement has excited the great- est satisfaction there, The foreign oftice 13 reticent, except that it confirms the statement that the difticulty is on the point of solution, although the day for investure of tho xhedive is not fixed. Meeting of the Ulster Defense Committee, ‘I'ne meeting in Belfast of the Ulster de- fense comuwittee, the mayor presiding, to provide for & convention, went a degree beyond the recent Ulster commissioner’s ‘gathering 1n tho violence of their tirades.” The pretense of secrecy of the proceedings enabled the speakers to 1ndulgo 1 war-like trumpetings, aud the resolutions recorded Ulster’s determination to have nothiug to do with the Dubliu Parliament, which 1s certain to be controlled by men who are responsible for the crimes of ' the land league, crueltics and boycotting, aid mere tools of clerical domination and an attempt to set up such a parliament will inevitably result in disorder, violence and bloodshed to an extent that has been unknown in Ireland for a century. Major Saunders denied that tue British Parliament hud any right to hand them over to another legslature which they would never obey, and the sentiment was received with cheering. T, W. Russell predicted a ten-fold increase of trouble in reland under the Dublin Par- liament. Finally an_executive committee was ap- pointed on the public sen<e of the danger and purport of this agitation. Over 100 nonconformist ministers have agreed to bo doputies for the Ulsterites and stump Great Britain to arouse & religious animus. g The Irish unionists in the House of Com- mons aflirm that their policy of resistance to the Dublin Parliament 1s limited to a refusal to pay taxes and that an active armed op- position from the people is inevitabie. The home rulers in the house consider Lhat their best policy is to minimize the 1mportance of the movement, and have so far ignored it. Happenings in Parlinment. Goshen, the chancellor of the ox- chequer, will issue his annual budget on Monday. Before the house adjourns on Tuesday for the Easter recess, the only gov- ernment bill near will be the small bolding bill, this being the barrenest record for many woeks sitting ever known, 'ho labor sandidates who refuse obedience to tue liberal electoral executive are every- where disappearing. Mr. Scnadhort's agents have succeedod in inducing the district com- mittees to oust the independents, The executive has approved twenty labor candi- dates, most of whom ave certain of clection. The payment of the labor men selected {s sccured partly by the general and partly by locat funds. Mr. Gladstone had promised to vote in support of the Scotch local veto bill, and tho government has decided 1o remain neutral. The passage of the weasure, which aMirins the local option principle, will bea triumph for teototalers. Its practical application until the new Parliament is elected will be impossible. Out of 219 English burroughs forty-four have rlected teetotal mayors, and this’ result was duly celebrated in Man- chester. The specches then made pointed to municipal authorities using certain influ- ences against the liquor trade, The great cotton spinning lockout will begin on the 15th st. There is no sign of employers giving way. Most of the mills are heavily stocked and the storage will be advantageous to them, An agent of Baroness Roques has just visited Mrs. Mayvrick in Woking prison, Mrs. Maybrick, who 1s just recovering from an attack of inflygnza and who is still very wenlk, 8ays sho receives every consideration from the authorilies. MURDERER IN COLD BLOOD, Dr. Dr, ¥ wki, n Distinguished Ecclesiast of Posen, Assagginated by Anarchists, Bent Aprili 5.-~A story comes from Posen that Dr. sPoninski, a high Polish occlesiast, was g6t upon and assassinated by four men, He resisted desperately and killed two of the men.' The other two suicided. Coards were fouid on the bodies showing they were anarchists selected to kill Ponin- sik. The causa {s,unknown. Further details,regarding the murder of Dr. Poninski show that the first report was inaccurate in some respects. It now appoars that_Dr. Poninski was sitting in a room When the four assassios appeared at the house and requested to sce bim. They were ushered into the presence of the aged doctor, who asked them their business with nim. Inreply he was handed a red card on which was prioted 8 command, signed by the “Commiltee on the Polish anarchists,” calling upon him to surrender all the money he bad 10 his possession, for the benefit of anarchists, The card stated thut if he re- fused to obey the commund he would be killed. From bis position 1z the church the doctor bad large sums of money, and this fact was well known and ta'ten advantage of by the anarcuists. Dr. Poniuski, wbo was fery infirm from old age, was startled from the message baudea bim, Heran to o window and Jumped to the garden. The anarchists followed bim to the window, and before he could reach @ place of safety they poured o volley of bullets into biw. He fell dead aud the assassins fled, but the alarm was given, and the owuer of IKoschiclege castle, a brother of Dr. Pouinskl, and twenly wen, at once armed themsel ves, and mounting horses started in pursuit of the murderers, Death of the Murderers, They were soon overtaken by the band of pursuers. A desperate battle followed. The pursuers fired u volley into the group and one of the murderers fell dead. The band then realized that their pursuers wore deter- mined to avenge the death of Dr. Poninski and, ono of them seelng that all hope of es cape was out off, turned his weapon against himself and blew out his brains, The remaining two fired upon their pur suers again, fortunately not hitting them, and thay were roplied to with anothor volley that kilied another of them. Then the fourth man, rather tban surrender, shot himself fatally. The oficials of Koschieloge have mado an investigation and have alroady learned that the four men were residents of Borlin and they camo purposely to murder Dr. Poninski: Tho names of two of the mon were Pela waskiand Urbianik. Some persons claim that the men were nothing but common rob- bers, who took advantage of the prevailing fecling caused by tho anarchists’ oul rages to preparo tho card for the pur- poss of frightening Dr. Poninski into surrendering his money to them. They claim 1t is hardly reasonablo to suppose that the committee of Polish anarchists, if there 18 such a body, would send four men to rob and murder an old _man, when one, or at most two could have committed the crime equally as well, with far less chance of de tection. The wholo affair scems to have been bung lingly arranged from the first, and nono of tho facts thus far learned go to contradict the assertion that anarchists are to bear the blame of a crime of which thoy kuow noth- ing. The autlioritios are, however, search ing in every district, und if iv should prove true that the assassination was really the work of anarchists, 1t1s thought the wholo baud of conspirators will soon be arrosted. it TALK WHICH DIDN'T COUNT. Sweeping Contract Dis- ussed by the Board ot Public Works, The stroet sweoping controversy was bo- forejtho Board of [Public Works at the sos- sion held yesteraay afternoon, but it was not settled by any means. Major Furay pro- duced a copy of Tue Bre, from which he rond the correspoudence that passod between Mayor Bemis and Contractor Squires, After concluding ho turned to Mr. Squires with the remarl “Is this final and conclusive?"” “The mayor and myself are attending to this matter at the present time,’ answered Mr. Squires, airman Birkbauser explained the con- dition of affairs ard what brought about tho writing of the two letters. He denied that he hud any personal feeling in the matter. *What vou have talked don’t count,’” re sponded Major uray, “as1tis the contract that speaks now.’ He was of the opinion that Mr. Squires should ve allowed extra compensation for cleaning some of the streets. “While that may be true.” answered Chairman Birkhauser, “you must take into consideration that the city has paid for cleaning at its own expense, eight miles of tho worst streets in the city.” Then Mr. Squires spoke. He said that if arunning conversation was going on, he would meake a few remarks. When he went to work last season it was with a string tied to s coutract. He had spent £4,000 and had reccived $%00 in return. 'This spring he had been usked to clean streets whero broakinz plows and wheel scrapers would do better work than sweepers. Major Furay asked what streets were in that condition. He was informed that North Iourteenth Harney and West Dodge streets were burie beneath the mud that had been dropped b graders. For months he had submitted, bu did not propose to do so any longer. Mujor Furay stated there was considerable truth in the remark, and said that some streets had been thrown out that should have been paid for. g Mr. Squires told that had washed dirt ubon the strects after they had beon swept. There had been times when the streets had been swept cleau and a rain would come on before the inspector had gone oveor the work. In such cases the streets were invari- ably rejected. Chairman Birkhauser replied that that was something the boara could not help, as ex- about storms ) City Engineer Tillson had refused to send an inspector out Lo follow thesweopers, Colonel Egbert suggested that the tali did not count, and immediately it was cut off.

The figure represents Wallace clad in a suit of mail and brandish- fog his sword. Tho left hand on a shicld, part of whick: is con- cealed behind the figure. A Scottish horn, like the one with which Wallaco summoned his clansmen, is swung at the side. The bearded face bears an oxpres- sion of determinationand courage. The whole figure is full of spirit. The statue is un exact reproduction of the national monument to Wallace's memory which stands on Abbey Craig, a mass of rugged stone near Stirling, Scotland, It was designed by D, W.
