That Oregon corporation has struck a new keynote when it invitos its in- vestors to appoint a supervising com- mittee on the beginning of its work in this state. In view of the fact that people have been investing money in all sorts of schemes and then appointing their investigating committees after the companies have gone to smash, to find that tbeir money is lost, it is refresh- mg 1o note one concern which does its business in a manner so open and above Dboard as to invite and pay the expenses of a standing committeo of supervision.

Noth- ing else is talked of and business 1s neglect- ed. Preparations are veing made for the removal to their howes of the dead and such of the injured are in condition to be moved. The underrakers areull busy pre- paring the twelve dead bodies and removing such traces of the terrible manner of their death as will yield to the devices of art, Rbout all but,two of those injured will re- cover. The two ave Miss Blanche Beardslay of Eaton, Pa.. and Mrs, Johanna Healey of Morvis Run, Pa. Miss Beardsley has a frac- ture of the skull, interual injuries and is frightfully cut and broised about the body. There is only the faiutest hope of he . Shbe spoke this morning for the first time since the uccident. Sne 1s conscious and unconscious by turns. She does not know the fate of her mother, who was picked up dead upon the platform of the same car on which Miss Beardslay was found injured. Miss Johanna Haley has a bad fracture of both logs. Someof the local physicians thought the amputation of one leg would bor 'y to save her life, but Sur- geon General McLean of the Michigan Cen- wral, who has been looking after the injured said this morning aftera consultation” wi the several physicians that it was thought it might be avoided, Mr. Jumes Sloan of North Brookfield, N. Y., is an addition to the hst of injured re- ported yesterday. She is hurt in the hip and abdomen. She was the only person injured in the train that = pulledby Inginecr Whalen, She was mthe second ear behind the engine and was caught in <ome way in the timbers, Her husband escaped through the window of the car and lifted her through the same apperture, They aro at the Hibbard house.

Sentenced to » wix Years Term Behind the Bars. A couple of months ago Arthur Bowman, a Sixtecoth street merchant, was gomnk to his home during the early hours of the even- ing, and as bo was going up Dodge street and in the vicinity of Eighteenth, a man named George Price and A confederate jumpea from the cover and, vointing a couple of revolvers at his head, demanded his money. Bowman was not in favor of disgorging just at that time and so informed the highwaymen, after which he jumped a feuce and flea toward a house near by. As he made the dash both of the men fired, but their bullots went wide of theie mark, and down the street Price and his pai ran, with Bowman in close pursuit At Sixteenth they separated, the unknown ndividual jumping over the fonce that s rounds the government block, while Pri ran into the alley in the rear of the postor- fice building and hid under a vehicle, where he was held until the arrival of the police, who arvested und took him to jail. On the v 1 Prico was convicted of tempting to commit a highway robbery and also of shooting with intent to murder, Yesterday he was brought into court and itenced to u term of six years in the peni- tentiary, at- Mr, E n's Latest Acase that recalled the World’s Methodist conferenc city during tho summer of 1802, and at a time when the noted divines of the Methodist church met in convention as- sembled, was up for hearing in Judge Scott's court yesterday, It was the case of Henry A, Eastman, erstwhile proprietor of the Paxton hotel, against John L. McCague, lirastus Benson and a dozen other gentlomen, who at that time constituted a committeo on en- tertainment, In his petition tho plaintiff alleged ¢ the defendants, as the representatives of a general committee, contracted for the board of numerous bishops; preachers and laymen, Wwho were entertained at the Paxton until their bills ), which amount ne alleges the defendants agreed to vay. Of this sum he that $1,700 was paid, but that tho ba was never liqui- dated. “To recovor this amount the plaintift brought suit iu the distiict court and to the petition some of the defend claiming that as rvepreser o citizens meeting th versonally respousibio for the bill, was this demurrer that was _argued, and in passing upon the point at issue, the court held that the defendants wero acting as a committee for the payment and collection of all bitls that were incurred. In doing this the Jaw would hoid them just as responsible, individually, as though tliey were acting for themselves. This decision resulted in the overruling of the demurrer, and when the case is reached on the docket it will be tried on its merits, Bastman_claiming that he did ali that he agreed to do, with the d fendants maintaining that he failed to live up to the requirements of the contract cn- tored into with the citizens of the city. Settled a Point in Divores Law. Judge Walton disposed of a case yesterday that settled a fine point of law. or at least that w the verdict of the members of the legal fraternity, During the year 1876, at try tewn in Kansas, S, I united in marriage and for well, but in 1801 he and his wife removed to this civy, where here, he avers, he dis- covered that his wife Alice was not true to her’ marviage vows. Soon thereafter he commenced e proceedings in the courts of this county, charging adultery. In those days there were fower juages on the beoch than at the present time and it was some time before final action could be secured upon cases. This was true with the Brigham case and long before the trial could be reached, the two people were living together again, though the divorce procoedings were never dismissed nor brought to trial, As time rolled along another separvation followed and Brigham sought to secure the divorce under the provisions of the otd petition. To this the wife demurred, alleging that as she and Brigham had participated in the rela- tions of husband and wife subsequert 1o the commencement of the suit, action in the original case had been barred. In handing down the decision Judge Wal- ton held that the position maintained by the wife was correct, and that Brigham had waived all vights 10 a decree under the old suit, taim, echoes of the o, held in this o Little coun- Brigham was, rs all went Big V'rico for u Lo By his father, Henry Michels, an 11-year- old lad of South Omaha, has brought an uction in the district court by which ho hopes 10 recover a judgment of $25,000 agaiust the Union Pacific Railway compiny for the loss of u le The plaintiff alleges that one day during the month of May, 1582, he was erossing the company’s tracks in the vicinity of the Swift packing house, when o switeh’ engiue came along and amputated the leg. As a cause of action,the plaintifalleges that at the time the accident oceurred the engine was running ut # much greater rate of speed than provided for by the ordinances of the city, and that conséquently the nccident was wholly due to the carelessness of the railway compiny and its empioyes in charge of the engine. Appointed Another Receiver, Judge Dundy seemed to like the receiver appointing business so well that he found it impossible to quit yesterday mornineg,and sup- plemented the naming of three receivers for the Union Pacific and two for the waterworks yesterday by the appointment of Unitod States Marshal Frank White as receiver in the case of W. 1. Hoopes vs Deler Sholes The receiver wis appointed on the cross.bili of A. J. Hunt, und the proporty consists of a lot of mortgaged real cstate.

The total membership in the state is about 15,000, scattered in over 50 socie tics. Unity is the watchword of the organi zation and the various societies are united in county, district and state unions. The men bership of tho socivty is farly divided among the different chircnes, In Nebraska the Christian church 102 socioties, the Congregational ninety-four, the Presby tevian ninety, and other denominations in less portion, Sunrise Meeting, The enthusiasm which pervades the ranks of the Endeavorers is signified by tho fact that fully 300 delegates were present at the ‘sunrise’ prayer meeting conducted by Miss Etta Duland of Norfolk at 6:30 o'clock this morning. he forenoon session opened with Rev. T, . Cramblet of Omaha in the chair, and_de: votional excrcises were led by Rev, W. D Hellings, also of thiseity. Mhe first regulur business of the session was the report of General Secretary I, Cook of Lincoln. Hestated that a special effort nad been made to collect a statistical report of the condition and progress of the society in Nebraska, bnt tho failure of many of the districts to respondhad rendered it impossible to collect aperfectly aceurate r port. Reports from ten districts showed a total membership of 12,563 azainst 8,561 at the close of last year. Of these 8830 were active members and 3,633 associate members, Two districts remained to be heard from, bringing the total membership to about 15,000, There were 457 societies in the state, a main of 93 during the year. Two hundred and twenty-five of *these societies hau been heard from ana reported a net gain of 2411 members, It was worthy of notice that the idea of co-operation was rapidly gaining ground, The district and county organization had doue much to bring the societies closer to- her, but much still remained to be uc iplished in this regard.
