WILL TEST THE LAW'S CONSTITUTIONALITY Rallway Companies Object to the Joint Freight Kates Established by the Com= missloners-—-A Dusl Between Two Colored Men—Oue Wounded, A number of citizens interasted in the pro- tection of the river bank yesterday went to tho scene of action to view the sitaation. There were in the party Mayor Lawrence, Congressmau Bowman, John W. Paul. Gen: eral Test of the Nonpareil, M. K. Rohror, jeorge W. Hewitt, J. N. Casady and H. W. Tilton of Tue Bee. By invitation R. S. Berlin of the Missouri River commission ac- companied the party and Kindly answered gueries and axplaived the work. The gentle- men expressed themselves as highly pleasod with past, presout and future. The as- surance was given thom, both by the expla- nations given by Mr. Berlin and by the ap- parent condition of the work, that the river bank will be in a permanent and safe condi- tion when the work is completed, as com- pleted it will be this fall. ‘I'ho boats ure being repaired and put in readiness for the work to commence as soon as possible, and it will be crowded to a finish hetore snow flies, T'he commission has £35,000 with which to repair one or two slight breaks in tho work of last year and to complete the rip-rapping clear to the pro- posed site of the Nebraska Central oridge. Mr. Berliu is confldent that the money al- lowed will complete the work and make it lasting \When thus finished this fall there will be in all 4.8 miles of the river bark at this point firmly established beyond ull dan- wer of cutting, Fickleness of the Missourl, * The fickleness of the Missouri isso pro- vorbial, aud so many chauges have becn wrought here at different times, that the citi- zens uro naturally and cbrouically apore- heusive. A visit to the work and the accom- panying explanations of Mr. Berlin will serve as a pleasing sedative to any whoso nerves ars overstrung in regard to it. Being thoroughly conversant with the peculiarities of the Missouri, the statements made by him came with an authoritativo tinge, otherwise they might seem cifficuit to believe. Among otber facts stated inci- dentally by him yestarday was that it had .boen figured out that the Missouri river car- ried each year and emptied at its mouth 250,000,000 "tons of freight in the form of sand foating in its current, to say tothing of such local traflic as picking up a sandbar and carrying it along fora few miles and then dropping 1t. Another singular fact in regaid to the Missouri is one that engineers are rather slow to concede, as it seems not easy of ex- p'anation. Ivis this: Whenever the river takes a straight shoot, cutting off some bend. it ulways makes some other turn to take it: placo. ‘The Missouri has established the policy that one good turn deserves unother. In thic last few years the river has cut off cuough bends to_shorten its course forty- saven mil s, but"sull tho river is as long as ever, the aistances savad being lost in new turns. This bad led engineers to look with disfavor upon any attempts to straighten the channel. Auother peculiarity of the Missouri is that where it makes fills it does not stop at high water mark, but often the sknd is piled three feet above whero the river in its greatest ambitions ever touches. This is explained in part by collateral pressure of the sand and 10 part oy the drifts made by the winds. EXCHA D SHOTS, Two Colored Mon Engage In 8 Ducl—One of Them Painfully Wounded. A fusilade of ten ravoiver shots startled the peaceable residents of North Main street and vicinity Wednesday night at about mid- night. W. A. Brown, a notorious character of the city, and Oscar Dixon, & well known colored man, had been engaged in a gamo of cards in Price Gibson’s saloon. Brown, ac- cording to the statements of bystanders, was loaded for bear when he entered the saloon, On sitting down at the card table he pulled from his hip pocket a huge revolver and slapping it down on the table said, *Now, don’t let mo have any rrouble with you.'t Dixon, who 1s considered a very peaceable fellow, was even mora than usually willing to get along without any trouble when he saw the gun, The game was finished aud Brown was beaten, Dixon told him to set up the drinis, but Brown refused to do it. From words they were about to resort to blov when Brown puiled his gun on Dixon. The latter at once snrrendered, and ordered the drinks at bis own expense. Ketur with a Gun, Dixon left the place, but returned a few minutes later, and this time be, too, bad a gun and was prepared for iroutle. Brown happened to see him coming, and, whirliag, sent a bali st Dixon that took him in tho left shoulder, I7ive shots were fired in quick succession by each of the men and two of Brown’s took effect 1n_Dixon's rigbt tand. Noue of Dixon’s tcox cffect, although Brown had one narrow escape. Dixon had his gun nointed at bis adversary’s back aud pulied tho trigger when it was hardly a foot distant from the mark. The gun failed to go off, and to tuis fact Brown owes bis ability to draw bis oreath vow. When the sbooting was over the men vamshed through different doo Dixon went to his room over the saloon, where an examination was made and bis injuries were found to bo painful but not serious. The last motor car had left for Omaba, so toat Brown could not get away, He nungaround town during the night and about 7 o'clock 1n tho morning orepared to board a traiu bound for Omaha at the corner of Avenue A and Twenty-first strcet, But he happened to pass Officer Woir, who was on his way to breakfast. The oflicor placed him under ar- rest and he was locked up in the city jail. An hour or so luter Dixon was also urrested. Well Kuown to the Police. Brown is well known 1n police circles. He is & brother of Theodore Brown, wno was tried for the murder of William Spears, but escaped conviction on uccount of the absence of one link in the chain of evidence that was iu all other respacts conclusive. Since bis brother’s departure he has been considered one o' the most worthless charactors to be found in the city, Dixop, on the other hand, has always borie a good reputation. He is janitor for two bunksand bis employers have tio greatest contidence in his honesty.

Mrs. Warren Hough of Crescent met with serlous accident yesterday sfterncon while driving on Washington aveuue near the cor- ner of Seott. Tho horse became frightened sud started to run, overturning the buggy aud wmmnwh. Hough to the ground, to- two nephews, aged 10 and 8 vears respectively. Both the boys were scratohed up and bruised pretty badly, but tho worst of the accident fell uvon Mrs. Hough. The buggy passed over her back, seversly strainine it. and sho sus- tnined a numner of bad bruises about the bend and face. She was picked up almost unconscions and taken to the residence of Mr. Duubam at the corner of Scott and Washington avenue, where several physi- cians were called to attend her, She was put under the fnfluence of opiates and last nignt was still sleeping, 1t is not thought that her injuries will prove to be very sorious, although she will be kept in the house for some time. JOINT FREIGHT RAT Rullway Compantes Will Test the Constitu- tionality of the Law. The fight between the railway commis- sioners and the five groat trunk linos operat- ing in the state, which has been penaing for the last two years, 1s now on again in the distrigt court. Judge Deemer held a special session of court yesterday for tho purpose ot hearing tbe arguments of the attorneys in what are commonly known as the ‘joint- rate'cases, Peter A. Doy and Spencer Smith of the raflway commission, were pres- ent as spectators, and John T, Fish, attorney for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, ap- pearcd for his road. Smith, McPherson and J. N. Baldwin appeared for the other road: and Attorney General J. Y. Stone repre- Jgented the state und the commissioner: The ronds engaged in the litigation ar the Chicago & Northwestern, and Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Chicago, Rock Tslund & Pacitic, the Chicago, Burling- tou & Quincy and the Sioux City & Pacific. Against each of thess companies, oxcepting the last two, sults have bsen commenced, onn by the commissioners and one by the state, “there being some uncertuinty as to who shouid appear us platiff. But against the Sioux City only ono suit was com- menced, The litization grows out of the action of the leglslature in ' passing a law in 1800 giv- ing the state railway cymmission authority to establish a joint freicht rate for the trans- portation of treight over two or more roads. Until 1888 the rauroads had a system of joint freight rates in vogue, but when in that year the legisiaturo passed its max- imum rate bill, the railways abrogated their joint rate system aud refused to carry freight over uwo roads excepiing for the sum of the two separate rates, Now thoey raise ob- Jections to the joint rate law and cluim that the commission has no rignt to establish a scheme of rates, oven though they refuse to do so themselves, The law provides that they shall carry freight for not to exceed S0 per cent of the separate rates. Tho railways claim that the power thus given to the com- mission 1s unlawful and the case is pow brought into courton o demurrer. The arguments will be apt to take several days. Hear Prof. Wulter E.

SHOT IN THE NEUK. Teamster John Sharp Seriously Wounded in n Saloon Fight, A shooting scrape which may yet result futally took placalast evening at about 10:30 o'clock. Several men were collec'ed in the saloon keot by J. Beomer, near the corner of Broadway and Thirteenth streei, drinking and baving a general good time, when a quarrel arose as to which of them should pay for the drinks. During the quareel one of the mon, Johin Sbarp by name, bit a lamp chimney and knocied it 10 thoe floor, braakinz 1t. A new feature was then added to the quarrel, and things became lively. Aftersomo hot words had been passed, Beemer, who was tending bar, seized his revolver ana levelng it at Sharp shot twice, Both the shots tooi offcct, one landing 1n Sharp's neck and the other grozing the top of his head, Both were evidently aimed with fatal intent. Sharp fell tothe floor, but alter a fow seconds recovered bis consciousness enough to crawl out of the door. He was helped to his feet and taken to his home at the corner of Broadway and Filteeuth street, wheroy Dr. Seypert was called to attend bim. Jus, how serious his wounds are cannot vet by ascertained, but according to the statementy of eye witnesses to the encounter the firs shot could not_have missed his jugular vein by any great distance. Beemer was arrested by Officer Martin and taken to the police stativn. No charze was placed against him and wonc will be made until it is learned how serious Sharp's injuries are. He was seen by a re- porier, but it was with cousideravle difti- culty that he could be iaduced to talk avout the affray. Ho finally admitted, how- ever, that he had done the shooting, but stated in dcfense that Sharp and & number of other compauions have beeu in the habit of making bis place their heaaquarters and that they ontored the saloon on a number of occasious und broke the furniture and com- mitted other pieces of luwlessness, He made up his mind to put astop to their fun and commenced to shoot. After Sharp had gone home the pcople in the suloon, Becmer among them, 18t and stood on the sidewaix in front, Bert Craig, a young man who had been in the room, stated that Beemer again brought his gun 10to requisition and fired thres shots at him. Noue of them took effect, ulthough it was evident that Beemer meavt they should. e Get tickets for the ox, day evening. F 1 vecital Tues- ne program.

ITWAS A GOOD BEGINVING Ycurg Republicans Jubilant Over the Suc- cees of the Crand ‘Tsland Meeting. BUBBLED OVER T“WGH ENTHUSIASM Harmony Markod thh froceedings and Characterized the Aetions of All the Delogutes—Westarn Democratie Hendquarters Bstablished, Grasp Teraxp, Neb., Sept. 1.—[Special to Tur Bre.)—It was the unanimous opinion of all who attended the convention of the Young Men's Republican clubs that never in the history of Nebraska has a political cam- paign been opened with such a genuine out- burst of harmonious enthusiasm as that which characterized the convention *hela Wednesd ay night Nota word of dissatisfaction was heard today from any source. Everybody ap peared to ve delighted with the resiits of the convention, and more happy and con- fidout voung republicans departed for their nomes today than ever loft the scenes of a political conventiou befora in the his- tory of this state. There were so many pleas- ing features connected with the groat gather- ing that it fairiy bubbled over through good feeling. In the first place thers was no strife be- tween the Douglas and Lancaster county delegations, a thing that some feared up to the very hour when the convention was catled to order. When Mr. B, H. Robinson of Omaha arose in the convention, fmmedi- ately after Mr. Thurston’s specch, and nominated a Livcoln man, Judge Lansing, to succeed himself as prosident of the state league, the convention becans u veritable love feast, and scarcely a motion was offerod from that moment to the close of the meot- ing that was not carried by a chorus of ap- proving shouts that must have been heard blocks awa; v, Thurston’s Great Dit. Those who have heard John M. Thurston many times seem 1o think that he never de- livered a more effective speech than this be- fore the republican clubs of Nebraska, It was a masterly combination of nard, solid facts, thrilling “eloguence aud cuptivating wit. 'Mr, Thurston appeared to catch un- usual inspiration from the earnest and thusiastic audience ana some of his climaxes wera superb, His pasaago and olimax upon the so-called “force bill” was considered especially fine, and the applause that marked its conclusion lasted several minutes. In the lighter vain Mr. Thurston touched upon the Omaha Fake Factory,alias the World-Llerald, o the great satisfaction of the vust assem- y. “Mr. Hitcheook's attitude upon political matters,” said Mr. Thurston, *'is very amus- fog. Pick up the World-Herald coday and vou will find & leading editorial in it sup- porting tne democratio party, tomorrow you will find an_editorial indorsiug the now found ally of the democratio party, the peo- ples party, and the next aay you will prova- bly read something ia the same columns that appears to bo for both and don’t say much for either. The editor of the World-Herald reminds mo of the man who had been pominated for ofice and had solicited the * support of the church members of his town. The church :oplo sentn_committee to wait on him in orier to get his views about certain religious matters before they would agree to support him. They asked ‘him to state his oelief with regard to the existence of heaven or hell, °I shall decline o express my views on that subject,’ said the' nominee, ‘beoause I have friends in both places.’ " A thousand voices were turned loose just than, and the yelling uidn’t stop for nearly five minutes, Another remarkablo thing about the con- vention was the fact that the speakers all covered different phdses of the political arena now thrown opeh. Every man callod out had something pacaliarly applicable and titting for the oceaston. Such a general un- corking of A 1 oeatory hus probably never been listened to before in a political conven- tion in this state. ‘I'ne Hastings Glee club, the Juvenile bana from Kearney and the Thurston Drum corps of Omaha each contributed to the success of the cccasion and helped to round out the pro- gram, ANYTHING BUD HARMONY. Fifth District Demoerats Endorse MoKel- ghan After a Fight. R:p Croun, Neb,, Sept. 1.—|Special Tele- gram to Tug Bee]—This morning’s train brought in a large oumber of aclegates to the democratic enagressional convention of the Fifth gistrict, which was to be held un the opera house in this city today. Promptly at 10 o'clock In the morning the convention was called to order by Chairman Cowgil, Chase, Dundy, Gosper and Perkins coun ties were not represented. After dinoer tho temporary organization was made porma- nent, R, B. Walquist of Hastings being chosen secretary. A motlon was made to proceed to the nomination of & democratic congressman, and then the battle opened in earnest. James Ray of Phelps county was placad in nomination. It was then that R. A, Batty of Hastings secureo the floor. He begaun by saving that ho was a democrat and afier speaking for half an hour he placed the nameof W. A, McKeighan before tho convention. Hisses and groaus were heard all over the roowm, and it was clearly igent that McKeighan had a large number of policical enemics in the house. Mr. Holmes of Clay county sec- onded the nomination of McKeighan in a few remarks that were not at all flattering to the independents saying that the democrats boped in time to be able to make good citizeus out of the members of tho calamity pavty. Kally of Furoas county said: “We have some- thing here today that you hardly ever see und that 1s a corpse at its own funeral. Detocrats should put up a democratic ticket and stay with it all the way through the fight.”” "He said that McKeighan had suubbed the party several times and he, for oue, was for throwing him over. Judge L. E. Hughbes asked that McKeighan bo brought in the room and made to state whether or not he was witling to endorse the Chicago platform. But of course this was not done. F. P. Shields, editor of the Leader of Blua Hill, tola_soine things to the convention concern- ng McKeighan. He showed him up 1n his true light, and bis speech caused quite & commotion. He st00d ready to prove that McKeighan bad already promised the Red Cloud postefiice to six different persons In caso Cleveland was elocted. Ho was bitterly opnosed to McKeighan, but it was no use, as thetirst ballov showed McKeighan bad 57 and Ray 25. A motion to make the nomination unanimous was checked by several aelegates Jumping to their feet 1"" protesting, but he was declared the nom- nee, o Calls for McKeighan caused some of his democratic friends td'go out for him and when found be wentup to the entrance of the hall and then stepped into an ante-room and was seen no more while the excitement lasted. L ing republicans bere in this city are not at all discouragea &t the turn things have taken, but on the nov‘:ury are feeling ia extra good spirits togight.” A great many delegates, and especislly ' from tho western part of the state, will not suppor® the ticket.

The conference was goneral its character and was for the purpose of obtain- g from reprosentative men the exact po- litical situation and the necess'ties of the case, and the action required in each doubt- ful case.

Bourke Cockran, Sen- ator Mills, Coungressman Springer, Hon. William R. Morrison, Seaators Ives, Voor- hees, Palmer and (forinan and Congrassman John R.
