D. . Day, living at 714 Y street, was awakened this morning by something which pulled and tugged at the bod covers. Put- ting his hand toward the floor he encount- ered the hairy ‘back of some animal too small to be a_cat and not large enough to be a grizzly bear. Before he could get a light the animal had sprung upon the children’s bed and attacked the two child- ren, biting them severely about the limbs. Mr. Day then caught the unknown intruder and held it until his wife could strike a Iight. Then it was discovered that the in- truder was a raccoon, weighing about fifty pounds, It Is being held to await an owner and in the meantime Day is calculating the damage to his feelings and to his children. LINCOLN IN BRIEF. C. W. Mosher was granted thirty days in which to take an appeal from the decision of Judge Tibbetts yesterday in refusing to dissolve the attachments against his real and personal property. E. Stitzman was arrested this morning on the charge of stealing a keg of whisky from the B. & M. railroad. He was taken to Plattsmouth for trial. August Haas, a German farmer living near Amberst, in Buffalo county, was today fined $50 and costs for mailing an ob- scone letter to a friend in California. YOUNG THIEVES CAPTURED. Plattsmonth Police Apprehiend Several Mem- bers of a Tough Gang. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Jan. 81.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The police have ap- prehended and placed behind the bars the outfit of young toughs who recently broke into a B. & M. freight car at this place and stole a keg of kimmel which was consigned to a druggist at Aurora. The fourth and last of the crowd was caught this afternoon on the Towa side of the river, after a chase of over four miles through the timber. The work was performed during the night time and from this it is judged that the lads will soon: be subjects for transportation to the state penitentiary on the charge of burglary. It s announced in rallroad circles that the B. & M. will goon commence the erection of a steel bridge across the Platte river just above this city. The one fact which gives credence to the account is that C. P. Olson and D. C. Woodring of Lincoln, who are at the head of the B. & M.’s bridge and build- ing department, were at the river today tak- ing soundings and making estimates as to tho required depth to which the piers must be sunk. The company will expend several hundred thousand dollars on the structure and in this regard it will be the costliest bridge which spans the Platte. Railroad men infer that the intended erection of the new bridge at this point explodes the theory heretofore advanced that the Burlington was contemplating running its main lne trains via Council Blufts and the new draw bridge at East Omaba. The polize nabbed a pair of crooks today who had stolen a cloak from the Herman dry goods house, and this afternoon they oped shortly after their incarceration that they were guilty of the theft of a suit of wore given ten days In jail. It was devel clothes from the Wescott Clothing store. WAS A GRAND SUCCESS.

FREMONT, Jan. 31.—(Specal to The Bee.) ~The Fremont Choral society, with the ald of some of Omaha's musical talent, gave a very dolightful entertalnment at Love opera house last night. This society w recently organized by Prot. Kelly of Omaha and its initial entertainment last night proved that it is of the right material for a brilliant career. The musical program was assisted by Mrs. Elta Matheson of Omaha, whose elocutionary gems were among the most Interesting features of a delightful evening. The barn of Mrs. F. D. Smith, living about fifteen miles northwest of the city, was burned Monday with its entire contents, in- cluding three horses, six cows, twenty hogs, 400 bushels of corn and some farming uten- sils. Mrs. Smith was recently left a widow with six children and this loss renders her almost destitute. ~ There was no insurance, No clew to the origination of the fire, which occurred just before daylight in the morning, can be obtained more than that suspicion rests on a man who sought lodg- ing at her house the night before and was refused on account of {nconyenience. A case §s now being tried in the district court involving the responsibility for the death of James Olsen, who was killed by the caving in of the sewer ditch last fall under the contract of MecDonal, Penfield & Co. The widow sues the contractors for $5,000 damage.

Some months ago a decision was rendered by Judge Taft in the United States circuiv court holding that the company’s right to the use of most of the principal strects had expired.

WILL INVOLVE DEMOCRATS Methods of Favoring Corporations in the Wilson Bill Oausing Trouble. SOME GREAT SCANDALS ARE EXPECTED Corruption Funds of the Various Trusts Cal- culated to Prejudice the Interests of Those Organizations That Pre- fer Honest Leglsiation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—(Special to The Bee.)—It will be strange if there are not some great scandals exposed before the Wil- son tariff bill is finally acted upon. The trusts are boasting that they will have this and that thing looked after, in spite of the ‘policy of the majority to the contrary. 1t is known that for some days the mar- ket value of Sugar trust securities has been maintained by the belief that the trust would be able to recoup itself from losses sustained by the house action when the bill comes before the senate. It is openly asserted that the sugar, lead and whisky trusts have set aside large sums of money for the purpose of subvert- ing in the senate the action of the house in striking down all protection granted to sugar refiners. It is stated that the trust people have been sustaiuing the market under the belief that they would be able to control the senate. The work of the republicans to defeat the tariff bill has in a number of places been frustrated by the early work of the lobby. And this work of the lobby and the reports about what the trusts are going to do, together with the prima facia showing made by them already, have undoubtedly prejudiced the interests of hLonest industrie ONE IMPORTANT INSTANCE. For instance, a number of men in the house who reaily believe that there should be protection given to the sugar industry in this country, voted against any duty being placed upon the crude article and for the abrupt and complete repeal of the bounty law. They believed that after this feat had been accomplished the rebuke to the impudence of the trusts could be the bet- ter delivered. The whisky lobby has arrived in full force. Most tmpudent of all, it makes the announce- ment that there will be a large increase of the tax on whisky, and that the goods in bond will not have to pay the additional tax, and that there will be either a great lengthening of the bonded period or a bonded period without limit. The lead trust will try to have the senate change the Wilson bill 50 as to directly favor it without favoring the miner of lead and the owner of the mines. Thus the cor- poration is to be assisted while the laborer and producer are to be overlooked. HAVE BECOME VERY BOLD. It is known that the influence of these corporate institutions is being felt in the two houses of congress, and the representatives of honest industry here are being greatly em- barrassed by this fact. The trusts have be- come 50 brazen as to handicap those who are working in the interest of factories and mills and laboring men. It would be hard to concelve, under the conditions, how the senate will be able fo give any protection to sugar refiners. The louse struck down all of the duty on re- fined sugar because a majority of that body is opposed to any protection and favors a tariff for revenue only. There was imported Iast year only about a couple of million dol- lars' worth of refined sugar, for there was less than $165,000 of duty paid upon the article. If the senate should refuse to place a duty upon crude sugar for revenue it could not possibly be consistent if it added a protec- tive duty to refined sugar, as it would be refusing protection and encouragemont for the producer and giving both to the great- est monopoly in existence. If the senate should add a duty to raw sugar it would be for the sole purpose of raising revenue; otherwise the action would not be iolerated by the people. ~With a duty upon crude sugar for revenue only the addition of any discriminate or protecfive duty upon re- fined sugar would make the other action re- diculous and destroy the excuse that a duty was placed upon the raw article for rev- enue only. TRUST CAPPERS AT WORK. There is no revenue worth mentioning derived from refined sugar; and besides, the sugar refining in this country, demo- crats as a party argue, is fully developed. Thus is their eagerness to strike down the great beet sugar industry in this country, the free traders are forced to cut the throat of their pet trust, the great sugar refining monopoly. And representatives of this trust are here, loaded down ‘with corruption, determined to bribe the senate for the protection of its own interests and to force it to follow the action of the house in destroying our domestic sugar industry. Of course this and other trusts ‘will find friends among democrats in the upper as well as the lower branch of congress, and when they cast their votes in favor of the trusts, about which they have been prating so much for years, and at the same time refuse to afford any protection to popular industries, the question will nat- urally arise in the minds of those who un- derstand the source of influence, “Why will free traders favor monopolies, which have corruption funds, and refuse protection to the farmers and laboring men, who have only principle and thanks to give in return.” PERRY S.

J. Dallas of Topeka, representing the Union Trust com- pany, appeared before Judge Dale of the United States district court today and asked for the appointment of receivers for the Santa Fe lines in Oklahoma.

Gaongs B HUNT, Local Forocast OMclal BEE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1894, [WILL DECIDE IT 0N FRIDAY After the Tarif the Ourrency Question Will Be Taken Up. HOUSE COMMITTEE AND STATE BANK TAX Vote to e Taken on Representative Cox's Bill for Unconditional Repeal—Gossip About Allen Laborers and Un. / confirmed Nominations, WasHixGTON, Jan, 80.—The question of the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues, which has boen agitated by a large contingent of southern and western meom- bers, will be brought to & focus in the houso committee on banking and currency Friday. Several bills involving this step are before the committee, but it has been decided to take a vote on the bill drawn up by Repre- sentative Cox of Tennessee, which is for an unconditional repeal. This question was discussed in the com- mittee throughout last session and the vari- ous bills were explained by the authors. It developed in the discussion that the com- mittee is very much divided on the banking question and on the votes of one or two members whose position is in doubt depends the fato of the bill in its first stage. Judge Cox says that the bill will certainly ve re- ported either for the uncondizional repeal of the tax or repeal with somo limitations. After it has been reported he says 1t will be vushed in the house as soon as the right of way has been obtained for it. This bill will bo the first important measure emanating from the banking and currency committee in this congress. Chalrman Springer of the committee has embodied in the form or a bill his scheme for a uniform banking sys- tem, but has done sorather to bring the whole matter before the committee and effect an expression . of views, than with the expectation that his ideas will bo crys- walized into legislation Alien Labor Circular. Superintendent Stumpf of the immigra- tion bureau, with the approval of Secretury Carlisle, has issued a circular concerning the arrest and deportation of alien contract laborers: It directs that immigrant in spectors shall carcfully inspe all cases of violations of thealien contrs labor laws which shall come to their knowledge by ob- servation or complaint and report the sme with all the facts and circumstances con- nected therewith to the superintendent of immigration. If in the latter's judgment the case is sufficiently established, the see- of the treasury will be asked, within one year after the landing or entry of the immigrant, to order that said contract laborers return to the country from which they came at the expense of the owners of the vessels bringing them here, but from an adjoining country at the expense of the per- sops contracting for their services. The cireular is of course intended for gen- eral application, but its provisions are ex- pected to apply particularly at this time to the Spanish alien contract cigar makers who recently came from Havana to work in the Key West cigar factories, Superintend- ent Stumpf has been waiting for the names of these men before preparing formal war- rants for their deportation. One list which came to hand today brought the names of about 120 men and another list is expected inadav ortwo. It is expected that the larger proporti>n of the men wiil be ordered deported o Havana, although final action in the case has not yet been taken. Delay in Confirmation. That the senate committees are now ex- amining with more deliberation than usual the nominations sent to the senate by the president is evidenced by the fact that there are about forty of these which were seut to the senate before the Christmas holidays which yet remain unacted upon —nomina- tions which were made during the extra ses- sion and were again made at the beginning of the present session. Of the forty ap- pointments upon which the senate has not yet acted fifteen are for oftices n the state of New York, two in Missouri, two in Tennes- see, two in Pennsylvania, two in Maine and one each in various other states. The New York appointments which have been held up are the most important. There are known to be protests against contirmation growing out of local causes in some of these cases, but the impression is gaining ground that senatorial opposition is responsible for the delay in many cases. Reports on some of these older New York nominations are unquestionably delayed in committes at the request of the New York senators, and the samo is also true in the case of some of the other states. Senators say that the delay is to be attributed to a desire to exercise a due precaution in making reports. Waiting for a Full Bonch, Probably the most important interests af- fected by the delay of the senate in giving a full beuch to the supreme court is the settle- ment of titles to miveral lauds along the Northern Pacific railroad. By its charter this road was ziven the alternate soctions of land forty miles each side of its track, ex- cepting the mineral lands. But the question has arisen in numerous law suits whether the titie was for these sections which were icnown to-contain mineral deposits when the grants took effect or also for all lands in which mineral deposits have since been dis- covered. Circuit court decisions have placed the first construction upon the grauts, and this has been a test cose against the Northern Pacific before the supreme court for more than a year. This case has been once ar- gued, but is now sidetracked to await the confirmation of a ninth justice. Upon its decision depends the title to all the recently discovered mineral weaith along the North- ern Pacific forn eigh ty-mile belt across the whole width of the state of Montana and part of Idaho. Of Interest to Inventors A bill of interest toinventors has been introduced by Mr. Hall of Missouri by re- quest. 1t provides that two or more patents may be obtained for an invention whether it is capabla of division mechanically, or on physical Jines or the applications differ merely in the form or scope of the claims presented, provided that the patents be issued on the same day orif notthe later oues shall bs for the unexpired term of the former. \Where two or more patents, differ- 1g in form or scope of claims or otherwise, have becn issued, the entee may waive somuch of the term of tho later patents as extends beyond the expiration of the earlier, s0 that allshall expire together and the validity of the later shall not be effected by the existence of the earlier patent. e Bound and Gagged by Robbers. Cuicaao, Jan. 81.—Banker E. P, Robinson and his wife wore bound and gagged by three men in their home at Maple Parky fifty miles from here, last night ana the house rausacked. At dinner time last night the men appeared at the house, and, cover- ing tho banker and his wife with revolvers, bound and gagged them. The robbers only socured 820, A posse Is scouring the country for the robbers. AMUSEMENTS, The “Black except the title, was last evening. The ook," with everything new presentea at Boyd's revival of this master- piece of stagecraft was welcomed by an ap- preciative audionce which placed the seal of approval upon one of the most elaborate pro- ductions of spectacular magniticence ever witnessed in Omaha. Eugene Tompkins' excellent company, with 100 people in the cast, introduced a series of protty stage pictures, a number of up-to-dato spocialties and a wealth of other attractions, including the ramnbow ballet, cobweb dance, and Bort- raud’s latest success from the Alhambra. The transformation scene of the seven ages was the climax of elittering array of scenic splendor. Plots as a rule become lost in such a labyrinth_of tinsel and shapely forms, but George Morton's proficiency as Hertzog and the sweet simplicity of Annie Haines as Amina maintained an active in- terest in the schemes of the aged sorcerer. Milton Lipman as Rudolph was satisfactory, but was evidently suffering from o severe cold, as he spoke his lines with ovident difi- culty. Thomas U'Brien as Greppo and Louise Montrose, a clever soubrette, who played Carline, wero prime conedy favorites. Gr Tabor, as Stalacta, the queen of the golden realm, was iu popular favor. She has the form of a Venus and is possessed of ood dramatic ability. The choruses were excep- tionally strong, and tho costumes were fully in accord with the general standard of excel- lence that characterized the entertainment. The specialties were sirong features of the evening and included Staccioni and Mlle. Bartolette, premiere danseuse, Sig. Biancifiori, a premier danscur, who is a veritablo human top, and Mardo the marvel. The ballets of popular airs, in- cluding a life-like production of Bowery," were heartily applauded by a de- lighted audience. TRt NEWS FOR THE ARMY.

Yesterday a strange man came to the res- idence of J. H. Moss, 2011 Paul street, and inquired for Mrs. Moss. He told her that her husband had sent him to get some money from her, as he (Mr. Moss) needed it buv could not leave his work long enough to come home for it. The man's manner did not create suspicion, and Mrs. Moss inquired how much her husband had sent for. “Why, he tola me,” said the man, “to bring back $2, as he wished to use it for a particular purpose right awn, I'tic money was handed to the stranger and he disappeared north on Twenticth street at a rapid rate. Mrs. Moss did not stop him, asshe thought he was gowng to catch the cable to take the money to her husband. _ Evening came and Mr. Moss returned home. His wife asked him if he had re- ceived the money she sent him. It then turned out that the caller in the afternoon was a rogue, us Mr. Mess had sent no one to his house for money. P A s Only Stalwart Democrats. TorEkA, Jan. 81.—United States Marshal Neely, who is expected to take his office, has written a prominent democrat that he has not appointed Representative Ryan (fu- sionist) of Crawford county as one of his deputies and, furthermore, that he will ap- pownt only stalwart democrats. The gentle- man who received this letter from Mr. Neely says that appoinunent was obtained following a pledge of this natuve, e Indicted Bankers Give Bond. Kaxsas Crry, Jan, 3L.—W. P.
