St Yy 10 MAKE NOSHER TESTIFY First Logal Skirmish Over the Oapital Na- tional Bank Failure. TRANSFER OF PROPERTY QUESTIONED Attaching Creditors Secure Fifteen Days in Which to Submit AMdavits Showing the Details of the Whole Afuir, Lixcovy, Neb., Feb. [Special to Tue Bee. | —The first legal skirmish over the Cap- ital National bank failure took place in dis- trict court this morning, when the motion of Mosher & Outcalt to dissolve the attach ments secured by creditors against the lands and lots they had transferred to D. E Thompson, Os F. Funke, Henry Mans feide and W. H. Dorgan came up for hear- ing. The grounds on which the motion is based are that the facts set up are not suffi cient to justify the court in continuing the attachment and that the allegzations therein are untrue for the reason that the transfers were not made with iutent or de- fraud creditors. The attaching creditors asked days time to submit afidavits to pr they were made for the especial pu ] defrauding them, but Attorney Whedou ar. gued that was too long finally cut it down to fifte attorneys for the order of court to co ne be fore it and submit te examination as to the details of these transfers as well as tell something about other matters in connection with the suit that the creditors were yearn- ing te know. Mosher's attorney argued long and lus against such a procedure, and claimed that it could not be done, the statutes providing that such cases shall be heard and submit ted on afidavits only. Decision was re served on that point. 3 ‘This afternoon Judge Tibbetts is engaged in taking the deposition of M.

The introductory prayers at the mission services in Trinity cathedral are short and very solemn, and the hymns are some of the | old standards used by churches all over the | world. The prayers and hymns used are bound in a small pamphlet, copies of which | are handed to each person as he enters the | churcti. The whole of each service is prac- | tically given up to preaching. Atthe service yesterday morning there was a goodly turnout to hear Missioner Crapsey’s doctrinal instruction. He took for his subject “God.” He said that he would not attempt to prove the existence of God, as that was a self-evident fact to any one who took the trouble to think about the mat- ter. He believed in the philosophy of com- mon sense, and God's existence was a matter of common sense. A man need not be a the- ologian to love God. Many an ignorant per- son loved flowers and yet was not a botantst. The noonday service for business men, held in the New York Life building, was | very attractive yesterday, and there wasa | much larger attendance than before. This | service is a very short one, beginning promptly at 12 o'clock and ending as promptly at half past 1 Yesterday the missioner took as his text, “Justified by the spirit.” He saia that men were men and not mere money making ma- chines. Surely man ought to have some- thing more noble than money as his object in life. There were, he said, three things that money could not buy: A good digestion, a clear brain and a quiet conscience. Men se- cured a good digestion by adherence to the laws of health, they acquired a clear brain by heeding the laws of intellectual development, and they could only secure a quiet conscience by a strict adherence to the laws of God as pro- claimed to the world by Jesus Christ. In a burst of eloquence he paid a glowing tribute to the energy of Omaha in building such a splendid city on a spot that was prairie thirty years ago, but we cculd build nothing equal to the pyramids, which now contain the mumified bodies of their builders. He earnestly entreated his hearers not to make their business their god, but to give some time to religious affairs. Business was right in its own place, but it could never take the piace of religion. Services will be conducted as usual in all the parish churches this morning. In the evening the parish churches will be closed will be services in Trinity cathedral as follows: For children at 3 p. m., for and for men only at at all of which Missioner Cravsey will preach.

Dexver, Colo., Feb. %,—An evening paper prints the following: There is a big deal on on the Santa Fe system of railroads. The entire army of employes from Chicago to California are laying plans to establish a vast confederation, including every order or workmen on the system. The place set for the deliberation which it is hoped will con- summate this gigantic confederation is Wichita, Kan. The gathering will contain delegates from all orders connected with the line—engineers, firemen, railway teleg- raphers and brakemen. The boys are quite reticent over the affair and shake their heads when questioned as 10 the object of the confederation. They say it grand movement all along the line to combine for mutual protection, the better to cope with the management. ‘When asked if there is any dissatisfaction that is likely to end in a strike or » demand for increase of wages, the men say no. Neither will they allow that the death of President Manvel has anything to do with the enterprise. The utmost secrecy attends the move- ments of the parties in interest. Last night a delegation of Denver Santa Fe men, repre- senting each of the orders—enginecrs, fire- men, railway telegraphers and brakemen— packed their gripsacks and quietly boarded the cars for Wichita. It was impossible to ascertain the names of the Denver represen- tatives. It is supposed on the outside that the move means something of more than ordinary interest, and some confidently pre- dict lively times on the Santa Fe within a short period. el KILLED BY THEIR SISTER.

W. Osgood, man- ager of the Morse dry goods establishment. taE map yesterday Mr. Osgood had the misfortune tobe a passenger on the ill-fated West Shore train that jumped the track and came to a stand- still in a terrible wreck near Palmyra, N. Y. “Our train was behind ti continued Mr. Osgood, “and the engineers were trying to make it up. We had two engines on and were flying across the country as only a be- lated express tram can fly. In comp with three other gentlemen I was en; ina game of cards, and we were the only occupauts of that car, which was the re sleeper. Ome of my panions had be worrying all morning because he had let some accident ivsurance expire, and we had been jesting consider about the matter. He kept saying that he felt as though something would happen to him befc got through to Chicago. Suddenly the train left the track aud after bumping along on the ties fora short distance our car rolled over on the side, hurling us against the win- dows in a state of eral confusion. Fortu nately we four escaped with but slight in juries, but & horrible sight met our eyes when we extricated ourselves from the wreck. A foreigner who had been in one of the coaches ahead of the sleepers had at- tempted to get out of the car at the door as it rolled over. The poor feilow had been caught between the cars and literally cut to pieces. It was difficult to imagine that the shreds of fiesh add pieces of bone that were strewn along the ground had ever composed a human body. “Another horrible sight was that of two brave fellows who were taken out from under another car with their left arms torn off. They were sittiug on the lower side of the car when it went over, and as the cars were dragged along their arms had doubtless gon through the window and were torn off. Oun of the engines was overturned and the engineer was piuned under it with his leg broken. The fireman saved himfelf by jumping. T were on the second engine The foremost cugine did not leage the track it was supposed that the rails spread e the first engine was passing over, and ocond engine took the pitch down the embankment. +*Our friend who had let his insurance ex- vire escaped without a scraich, but he was an Omaha Man cipated in d to be was any number of am ing incidents. vns tried to pe ful and caused much merriment.

M., Feb —One of the most important, as well as one of the largest lana cases, ever tried in the United States has been settled by the United States court of private land claims in session here. It was the case of Earl B. Coe, petitioner, against the United States of America, respondent, and involved the title to the Algodones grant of over 60,000 acres of the most productive land in southwestern Arizona, worth at the present market value over §12,000.000. Mr. Coe won the suit and his title to the land is now perfect. This is the second trial ot the case.
