THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: GARNEAU-MOORE CASE HEARD Decided Two Points and the Honors Were Divided. BOTH PARTIES WILL APPEAL AT ONCE Perional Lixpenses of the Commissioner General Amounting to Several Handrod Dollars Will Not Be Pald Until the Voucher Is Revised. Liscons, Oct. 30.—[Special to Tre Bre.]— Tho controversy between Auditor Moore and Commissioner General Garneau passed its first legal stage this forenoon when Judgo Strode of the district court in and for Lan- castor county handed down his opinion in the cases brought by Garneau to compel the auditor to issue his warrants for a number of disputed accounts. Mr. Garneau brought two actions, one to eompel the auditor to issue n warrant for the amount due Henry Dibble & Co., the furniture dealers of Chicago who had a claim of 5,228 for furnmiture, etc., placed the Nebraska building. In thiscase Judge Strode held that tho ‘vouchers were sufficient and in proper form. He decided that the commissioner general was an independent state officer in charge of the Nebraska oxhibit at the World's fair and that therefore his official acts could not be questioned by the auditor unless fraud was charged. In this case no fraud was charged and therefore the court held that it was the auditor’s duty to issue his warrant for the payment of the amount of the claim, He directed the auditor to issue the warrant at once, a motion for a new trial being re- fused. In the other case Commissioner General Garueau asked the court for an order com- elling the auditor to issue to him a warrant for §22.78 for personal expenses, ete. In this case the court held that the vouchers were insufficient and that the auditor was Justified in refusing to pay the claim. He therefore dismissed the case. Motions wer made in both cases fora new trial, but in both instances the court overruled. Forty days were grantea both sides in which to prepare bills of excoption and take the cases to the supreme court. Auditor Moore was absent from his office today and consequently could not be seen for an expression ofhis views upon the future of the case. He has held all aloug, however, that he simply wished to 1o his duty in the matter and that he had no personal feeling ‘whatever in the cases, Brockway Adjudged Insane. O. H. Brockway, the man whose inordinate passion for liquor drove his young wife to commt suicide in this city one week ago, was tuis afternoon adjudged insame by the oard of Insanity and taken to the State tal for the [nsane near this city. The o of insanity was preferred against him by R. S. Johnsan, proprietor of the Capital ho Brockway has made his head- quarters at the Capital ever since the final in the tragedy of last week and last ¢ afternoon he made an ineffectual attempt to end his own life by swallowing a quantity of ether. He rested ecasy during that night and yesterday, after a consulta- tion, his friends determined that the only course open to them was to place him in the asylum, where it is believed he will soon recover the full use of his mental faculties. He has many friends in this city who main- tain that heis simply mentally unbalanced through drink and the tragedy which took place at his home last Monday night. Sewell's Oaso Postponed. The case of the state against W. D. Sewell, who is charged with having been one of the contractors who defrauded the state in the matter of furnishing supplies to the state insane asylum, was to have been culled in tue district court this afternoon, but the state secured a continuance. It is stated upon good authority that the state does not desire to go totrial until another jury can be empaneled or another venire selected. Sewell is not likely to be defended by the same array of legal taleat that was brought out at the Dorgan trial, but he boasts freely that his acquittal is certain and that his trial is only a matter of form. ‘The charges against Sewell are very similar 10 those against Dorgan. He held ‘the con- tract for supplying flour for the useof the asylum during the years 1801 and 1892, with the exception of a few months in esch year. He is charged with collecting pay from the state for large quantities of flour which he did not deliver.

Davesrort, Neb., Oct, 80.—[Special Tele- gram toTne Bek, | —Last Monday the State bank received a letter from a firm, signed C. T. Rosenfeld & Co., written on a letterhead bearing their name and address at Chicago and St. Joseph, purporting to have oftices in both cities and their business as that of dealers in foreign and domestiz wines and liquors, ete. The letter stated that their traveling representative, Mr. H. A. Rosen- thal, would be in Davenport in a few days and that they had sent him their che for $85. As he was a stranger in this p of the country they enclosed the bank his signature that he might have no trouble in obtainining the money. Monday morning Mr. Rosenthal stepped into the bank and presented his check,which was duly paid. The che was drawn on the Saxton National bank of St. Joseph and was protested by the St. Joseph banlk, they stating that they knew of no such firm doing business th and that this check and many others like it, which they had re- ceived, were bogus.

Splendid Yield of Sugur Heets. toxT, Neb., Oct. 80.—[Special to Tme —Superintendent Allen of the Standard attle company reports that the results of the tests made of the different kinds of soil on which their 500 acres of sugar beets were produced give the palm to the soil known as gumbo, and is the lowest of all Platte valley lands and which were heretofore considered alwost worthless. The product on that soil was the almost unprecedented yield of over twenty tons of high standard beets to the acre, And when it is considered that this very land, until the ditches of the vast fow years wero constructed, was under water several months of the year and pro- duced nothing but the most worthless grasses, one may realize the immense benetit the system of drainage that has been 8o earnestly advocated by many Nebraska farmers.

Secretary of the Eccles unts the Davis Prosecution XD I8 ), Neb,, Oct. ~To the Edi- tor of Tue Bee: The congregation of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church of this city has chosen me to present through your columns the true status of the case of the Trinity Metuodist Episcopal church against w. Having performed the duties of of the ‘court before which this case was brought, and having the records at my hand, T shull deal only with facts as they have daveloped and be- came a matter of record. On the 23d dayjof September, 1503, the official board of Trinity church ordercd the drafting and service of a bill of charges on the avove W, J. Davis, which was done, and the service made oun the morning of the 25th. A substituted bill a8 drafted and served on the 28th citing him 1o trial on the 17th of October, The charges were: First, “Defamation,” fivo specitications; secona, “Criminal As- sault, ; third, “Fraud and Dishonosty pecification: During the interim between the service of the original charges and the substituted charges, Mr. Davis filed a letter of with drawal from the church, which the ofticial board refused to consider, holding that he was not in good standing and he could not honorably withdraw without meeting in some way the charges against him. These he must either meet in trial, refuse to notice and ve tried for in his absence, or witharaw under the imputation that they are Rev. J. W. Robinson of Central C was appointed by the presiding elder s president of the trial, and according to ap- pointment the case came to a hearing. President Robinson selected his commit- tee to try the case from pastoral charges outside of the city of Grand Island, which gave the defendant the advantage of a trial by intelligent and unpredjudiced men. After the preliminaries of opening the case the defense offered objection to the president of the court on the ground that he could not bavea fair and impartial hearing before him. It was shown that the aefense had had from the 25th o1 September until that time to correct that difficulty, 1f such ex- isted, and that he had taken no exceptions to having it brought before the said J. W. Robinson. Objections were overruled. De- fense then filed a plea of opposition to the Jurisdiction of the court, claiming to have ‘withdrawn prior to the serving of the then existing bill of charges. The plea was denied by the court, the court holdin g that the defendunt could not withdraw without the consent of the official board, which consent was not given because the defennant was under the orig- inal bill of charges at the time of filing his letter of withdrawal. After vassing upon other technicalivies of a dilatory nature the defense secured and presented a notice from J. R. Thompson, judge of the district court, calling President Robinson before him to make answer why an iojunction should not issue restraining the ecclesiastical court from taking any further procecdings. At 2 o'clock p. m., October 16, whilo the case was before Judge Thompson, President Robinson made known to the church that he had been applied to by the defendant., Davis, for withdrawal from the church ‘‘under charges.” The official board was immediately sum- moned in special session, and for the purpose of expediting matters (as was said) the members of the board were asked to rescind their former action bearing on Davis’' with- arawal. This they refused to do. A resolu- tion was then offered and adopted permitting Davis to withdraw “‘under charges,” which resolution was shown to Davis’ attorney in Davis’ presence, whereupon Davis' attorney dropped his vroceedings for an injunction, and Davis went out of court and out of the ohurch *under the charge and specifica- tions then on file, and which now constitute a part of the church records of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church of Grand Island. While comments are entirely out of order in this letter the reader will read- ily see the difference between the two applications, and that m accepting the sec- ond all was gained by the chureh that could have been gained by prosecuting the trial to a fimsh. Attention 1s also called to the fact that the chureh did not in any way make overtures to Mr. Davis looking to a compro- mise of the matter. These facts, as above stated, have become a matter of record in the archives of the church, and Mr. Davis' relaticn to the church is no vetter than it would have been had he been expelled upoy every charge and specification made.

The measure was desizned to benefit some logging and saw mill companies in Ari whero there are immense tracts of timber lands which are only valuable for the timber upon them.

He evinees o knowledge of American history one would s ly expect in a man_isolated a8 Mr. Adams has been—for Norfolk isiand is out of the line of transoceanic travel and is only visited by English men-of-war and whaling vessels. Despite the great disad- vantages of his youth Mr. Adams appears, what ho doubtloss is, an cducated gentle: man. He has many interesting stories to rvelate of the sottlement of Norfolk island, not the least entertaining of which is one utobiographical. Mr. Adams is ndson of Alexander Adams,one of the mutineers of the Bounty. In 1790 the Bounty, » ship of some 200 tons bur- then, was fitted out by the British govern- ment, placed under the command of Lieu- tenant Bligh and dispatched to the Sand- wich islands for a cargo of breadfruit trees, ped thence to the crown bosses- n the West Indies. It transpired m urse of the Bounty's ill-starred voy- s that the commanding officer was a ty- ant and martinet of the first order. Putting the men on half allowance and curtailing the rations of the under officers were events of common occurrence. Such treatment could only end in one thing, and that came to pass. The subofficers and crew mutinied and set Licutenant Bligh and his favorites adrift in an open boat. The Bounty sailed thence to the Sandwich islands, and, taking on board a small num- ber of native men and women, began a quest for a secluded island home. This they found eventually on Pitcairn island “The limits of this article ave too narrow for an extended narrative of the lives of the Pitcairn colonists. They lived in_Acadian simplicity for some thirty years before th retreat was discovered. In the agitation of the numerous wars in which (ireat Britain was engaged during that period the mu- tineers of the Bounty were forgotten. So when the colonists were discoverea and their history related to her majesty’s ofti- cers the latter had nothing but sympathy for their isolated condition. The muny stories that reached Europe of the settlement on that lonely island in the fur away Pacific finally enlisted the interest of the British goverument and steps were taken to improve the colonists’ condition. It was represented to her majesty that Pit- rn island was too small for the constantly increasing population and that either the colonists must be removed to a larger do- main or eventually perish by starvation. It was then that the queen selectea Nor- folk 1sland, which had formerly been a con- viet camp, but was then abaudoned. In 1856 the descendants of the Bounty mutineers were removed from Pitcairn island to their aew home, where they have since resided and prospered. Mr. Quintal Adams carried a walking stick, the knob of which was covered with seal skin. He said the stick had a curious hi tory, though there was nothing in its ap- pearance to indicate that it was more than an ordinary cane. It was made of white mahogany and was excellently presorved. Mr. Adams said the stick was given to his grandfather by one of the native chiefs of the Sandwich Islands, who had in_turn re- ceived it from his forefathers. In the re- mote past the cane had been the visible sign of a treaty of allinuce between two tribes and was presented to the chief of the stronger by the chief of the weaker tribe. It hap- vened. however, that whoever used the cane was eventually attacked by leprosy, so that in time the stronger tribe became the weaker and fell an easy victim to its pre- tonded ally. Their object achieved, the knobof the cane was covered to prevent further contagion, and covered it has re- mained ever since. ~Mr. Adams said that after his visit to the World's fair he ex- pected to continue his tour to London and pay a visitto Queen Victoria. He would present the'cane to the British museum, at which place he had no doubt the mystery of the discased and poisonous knob would be elucidated. —_————— DesenviNe Ce ENCR. —There 1s no ar- ticle which so richly deserves the entire con- fidence of the community as Browx's Brox- cuial, - Trocues.
