The impression that Judge Caldwell has overruled the orders of this court is wrong, as you may see by a v of the dispatciies In The Bee here. The wages question has mot been brought up before Judge Caldwell, and his some- what peremptory order to Thurston does n in the least effect the slatus quo of (he wages question. My order still stands, and will stand until it is reversed. The whole sitnation can bes expressed in n few brief sentences. The receivers made an order r ducing wages on certain schedules. They brought the order to me and I approved it. There {8 nothing in my approval of tho order to prevent the receivers from restor ing the old w aw fit to do 50 They can do 8o now i chose. “Judge Caldwell's is unusual in this that in a private conversation with the solicitor of the Uuion Pacific, he orders the receivers of that company to re store the old rates. e does not not make the order in the shape of a decision an- nounced from the bench. As it is, all that Judge Caldwell has done is to order the re- celvers to temporarily restore the old wages pending a settlement. His order places no new aspect upon the situation as far as the court 1s concerned. Of course I cannot tell what the receivers will do In the matter.” Suppose the receivers do not consider Judge Caldwell's order to be mandator. and leave the wages where they arc under the schedules approved by yourself, will the ¥ asked The Bee representative. “Why certainly,” responded Judge Dundy with o sigmificant twinkle in his eye. “Of conrse they have the right to strike in the that they have the right to quit work and go home. But If they atiempt to—well if they attempt Lo raise a row, they wil find that the orders of this court are very much in force, today’s order of Judge Caldwell to the contrary notwithstanding.” NOT DO’ SUTTING.

MILWAUKEE, Feb, 15, — An application was made in the United States court this afternoon by the employes of the Northern Pacific road, through their union leaders, for a modification of the famous injunction is- | sued by Judge Jenkins, restraining the men | from leaving the employe of the road, as | such an action Wuld hinder the operation of the road, and thus prevent the men from striking. Judge Jenkins has set February 24 as the date for the hearing of the motion, which is in behalf of th grand chiefs of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the conductors, the Telegraphers National asso- clation, the Brotherhood of Trainmen and witchmen's Natlonal Benefit assoc ation. The officers of the ations state in the motion that they ich em- ployes of the Northern Pacific only as be- long to the organizations named, It is 1oved to strike out all that part of the in- netion issued December 22, which re- ined the employes from striking or pre- paring to strike The object of the motion was to bring to a direct issue before the court the question whether courts can grant injunctions to restrain employes from strik- ing. It will be a test e of national in- ter and of vital importance. The petition asks for the modification of the injunction of December 19 by expunging the words: “And from combining and con- spiring to quit work without notice the & of said receivers, with the object and intent of crippling the property In thelr cus- tody, or embarrassing the operation of said raiiroad and from so quitting the service of said receivers with or without notice as to cripple the property or prevent or hinder the operation of said Iroad.” It is requested that the supplementary in- junction, - which is much stronger, be amended by expunging the words: “And from combining or conspiring together or with others and jointly or separately or as committees or as officers of any so-called labor organization with the design or pur- purpose of cansing a strike upon the lines of the railroad operated by said receive and frem ordering, recommending, approving or advising others to quit the service of the receivers of the Northern Pacific Railway company In January, 1804, or at any other time, nd from ordering, recommending or adviging or instructing or otherwise the em- ployes of the Northern Pacific railroad to join in a strike in said January, 1894, or at any other time, and from ordering, recom- mending, or advising any committee or class, or classes of employes of said recelvers to strike or join in a sirike on January, 1894, or at any time. W Judge Jenk AT OFFICIALS SAY. Do Not Think Judge Caldwell's Action Settles the Matter. On account of the absence af so many of- ficlals of the Union Pacific from the city it was impossible to get an expression of opinion from those remaining to look after the interests of the company, regarding the order of Judge Caldwell, made Wednesday when Judge Thurston asked for a hearing ative to the conflicting orders in the dis 't courts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nes braska. The officials at their desks were dazed when The Bee representative gave them the news from St. Loufs. They were inclined to doubt ifs genuineness, but the order seemed so straight that they at last relucts ntly admitted that the Union Pacific had received another knock down, but as one man said, “the winter is not over yet.” There was an opinion prevalent, how- ever, that Judge Caldwell's order did not settle the matter, only grant- ing the employes of the system their day in court. It was contended that the etiquette of the bench was so well established that Judge Caldwell could not make an order diametrically oposed to Judge Dundy, unless the former was sitting with the latter in the district. “Until we see tho order and find out its exact scope it would be useless to speak of the situation,’ said a Unlon Pacific official. “The order as [ read it does mot prohibit the putting in of the new wage schedule March 1, but intimates that the proper thing for the receivers to do is to wait sixty days and then after proper publication the receivers are to attempt to decide with the men upon a fair schedule. If no agreerient can be reached Judges Caldwell and Sanborn will come to Omaha_and attempt a solution of the problem. Now, that is all the order, it an order has béen made, amounts to. Judge Dundy has not been reversed for a reversal contemplates a hearing and no helir- ing was had. It is all foolishness to think that this settles the question, for it doesn't, but it is idle to speculate until the order is seen in its entirety. Judge Thurston will probably throw new light on the mat- ter when he returns from St. Louis and until he does return there is no one about licadquarters authorized to speak.” ALLEGED RATE CUTTING, Reported Radical Cut on Round Trip Pacifle Const Tickets. Representatives of the lines centering in Omaha were in fighting mood yesterday over the rumor that the Union Pacific was permitting brokers to manipulate round-trip tckets to the Pacific coast. A telegram re- celved from yesterday stated that Omala brokers were greatly disturbing the transcontinental rate by selling round- trip tickets to San Francisco for $63 and single trip tickets for $30 on the rebate play, reading ov \on Pacific. The lines doing business west bound from Omaha imwediately commenced an investi- gation, but met with little satisfaction. At leadquarters of the Union Pacific it was claimed that everything was ‘steaight and above board, and that if brokers were cut- ting the rate they were doing it simply as a fiyer, as the books of the company showed that no ticket had been sold for less than tariff rates since the $65.50 rate became ef- fective. But the denial of Mr. Lomax that e was a party ‘o the rate-culting did not suffice, and the representatives of the Bur- lington, Rock Istand and Northwestern pr coeded to investigate the charges made from Chicago. Mr. Lomax left for Chicago last take o hand In the rate contest, say the least, iy precarious. The breach is growing wider every day and a rate war of formidable proportions is undoubtedly bre ing. Mr. Lomax will endeavor to bring order out of chaos, but he is not at all sanguine of In the meantime the brokers are doing the business night to which, to success.

CHICAGO, Feb, 16,—The federal grand jury ran agalnst a snag today in its investigation of the charges of fllegal rate cutting brought by the Interstate Commerce commission against the Lake Shore road and the other lines In the Central Traffic association. Gen- eral Freight Agent James of the Lake Shore and Gordon McLeod, general western agent of the Merchants Dispatch, a freight line, who were called upon to testity, refused to iswer many questions which were put to them. Tomorrow Judge Grosscup will be ked for an order compelling the men to testify. If this order is granted and the ralioad men do not obey it, he will ask the court to commit them for contempt. The officials who have already appeared in th ud jury room and have reft to give desired Information _inelude besides Mossrs, James and McLeod, President John Newell of the Lake Shore and G. R. Blanchard, commissioner of the Central Trafflc association. To make matters worse, Mr. Blanchard and others failed today to obey the subpocna issued directing him to produce the books and files of his office for inspection and the others to testity. A com- prehensive order, fntended to compel the pro- duction of records, will be asked from the court. Railrond WILL GIVE NOTICE. ion Pactic Employes Will Be Informed t Any Contemplated Action, DENVER, Feb. 15 —Attorney George L. Hodges, counsel for the Union Pacific em- ployes, today received the following dis- patch from Judge Caldwell: *‘No action will be taken that will effect the employes on the Union Pacitic without notice.” J.N. C vloy porations, ia their efforts Lo erush organ tions of employes, have simply fortified the employes in their vights, and a generous pub- lic is goiug to help maintain them. Working- men engaged in interstate commerce bus- iness who now elect to go on a strike in preference th contesting their rights in the forums established by the people deserve to be defeated in any sich attempt.” Henry W. Hobson, counsel for the Denver & Gulfroad, was notified today by Judge Caldwell that, “Petitions for rehearing of the orders in relation to the Gulf system will be filed in all the districts in which orders reluting thereto have been made, and these petittons will be heard before both the ecircuit judges at Omaha at a time to be fixed, of which all parties in intevest, including Mr. ‘F'rumbull, will have due notice.” Have Sent in Thelr Keport. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15.—The officials com- prising the commission sent here to examino the railroad bridge now being built by the Burlington has adjourned. Major L. Mc- Kenzie, one of the engineers, stated that the boavd has come to an agreement und its re- port has been sent to the secretury of warat Washington. He thinks that ofticial will agree with the commission and issue an orvder for the work to be resumed. It was stopped because it was claimed the draw was not over the chanue gers Keceiving the Benefit, CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.—Present indica- tions are that the worst rate war the city has seen for many years is imminent. For six weeks tickets have been selling to New York for §13, first class and $10, second class, the cut having ben inaugurated by the Baltimore & Ohio, whose action was soon followed by the Erie and Cheasapeake & Ohio. Although the last named today re- established the old rate it is safe to say that forty-eight hours will find every line of this city selling not only at a $13 rate, but less than that. . President Debs in Kansas Clty. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 15.—President Debs of the American Railway union is in Kansas City making preparations for a general mass mecting of employes to discuss the wage question. Pending his return to Omaha all petitions signed protesting against the re- duction of section foremen and section men by the western branches of the Union Pacific will be held. The meeting will be held at Cheyenne, February 22 IT WASN'T A CIRCUS. It Was Only n Business Proposition—But it Was a Good One. Early this morning that which looked like a clrcus parade was scen coming up Farnam street and attracted no small amount of attention from the passersby, who hardly knew what was coming. Old residents said it was a colony of prairie schooners who were making their way to the Douglas county beet sugar fields—but as the long and solemn-looking procession came nearer it proved to be neither a circus parade nor a fresh invoice of Poles, but every wagon, seventeen in number, bore the legend, “Omaha Merchants Dispatch.” An inquisitive individual, after an investigation on his personal account, satisfied the curiosity of the crowd as to the contents. avery box, case, bale or package in that long string of wagons was marked for the Morse Dry Goods Co. This is a part of the first shipment of their purchase of the famous J. H. Walker stock of Chicago, which Mr. Osgood bid in last week. This afternoon nearly as many more dray loads will be delivered at the store. It is said that this purchase contains almost ev thing from a collar button to a sealskin cloak. The Morse people say they will begin selling this stock next Saturday. O ) hot His Brother-in-Luw, PRESCOTT, Ariz, Feb.

Several mem- bers stated that if tho congress decided any questions which affected their political party they would not abide by the decision. Others expressed opposite views. After a uning debate of an hour or two the reso- lution was laid on the table. At the afternoon session St. Louis was selected as the next meeting place, Denver withdrawing before a ballot was taken. The report of the committee on resolutions then read. The committee submitted resolutions memoralizing congress for many river and harbor improvements in the Pacific coast states, which were adopted. Among the improvements asked for is the construction of a ship canal at Seattle connecting Puget Sound and Lake Washing- ton, and for the construction of harbors for deep water vessels at San Pedro and Port Harford on the southern California coast; also for adequate coast defense on Puget Sound. Another resolution was adopted memoralizing congress for appropriations for the permanent and complete improvement of the Mississippi river from its source to the Jetties. The most spirited debate of the session then followed on the Nicaragua canal ques- tion. The committee on resolutions reported a_memorial asking the prompt construction of the Nicaragua cana’ under such condi- tions as provided in the Morgan bill or under any other measure that wil insure the speedy completion of the enterprise. This resolution was the one offered by Captain W. L. Merrick, a delegate who s a stockholder in the present canal company W. J. Thompson of San Francisco moved that the clause referring to the Morgan bill be stricken out and the Insertion of the following: “This canal be constructed, owned and operated by the United States without the intervention of a private corporation.’ The convention was unable to agree, and the matter was made a special order for tomorrow. When the convention assembled this even- ing a report was received from the special committee to consider the silver question. The committee reported a r lutio de- manding the reopening of the United States mints for the coinagerof silver. ~The read- ing of the resolutiom was the signal for tremendous applause. 1~ After it had been agreed that a vote shall be taken on the siiver question tomorrow, addresses on tho subject were made. con- tion rti- B APOLLO CLUB CONCERT. ookt Emerson in one of his serious moments said, “The man‘ls only half himself, the other half is expfessidn,” but Emerson did not have the hongr, of Leonora Von Stosch’s acquaintance presumably, else he could with perfect sincerity have remarked that woman is ' two-thirds expfqgflon, in view of the solil, heart, possessé® by this young artist, who made her appearance last evening at Boyd's under the auspices of the Apollo club. The triumph which the young violinist won was even more pronounced than when she was seen In Omaha last with Sousa. In appearance Leonora von Stosch has the ad- vantage of many favorites of the stage. She is tall, with a finely rounded, graceful figure, a face that shows depths of inteiligence and very prepossessing, her broad forehead surmounted by a deep battlement of golden brown hair, ~which gives her a most distinguished appearance. But it is not as the beauty or soclety devotee that she is to be considered, but as one of the leading violinists of today, whether man or woman= In fact no young player of the age combines so many strong characteristics which go to make the artist a universal favorite as this unassuming, but deeply in earnest, young woman, who won by sheer ability last night a trfumph that was most deserved. While not so strong a player as Camilla Urso, Miss Von Stosch has a wonderfully developed technique, which was seen to ex- cellent advantage in the “Faust” Fantasie and the Russian airs by Wienfawski. She rounds her notes with a brilliancy that is captivating, while her bow is like a featler in her supple hand. Her ornamental runs were taken with consummdte case, the little fiiger of the left hand showing what constant practice will do in assisting to finished execution. In the Reverle by Vieuxtemps Miss Von Stosch suffered in contrast with Mr. Brodsky, who played the same number with Damrosch, her opening notes being somewhat marred by a certain muffled manner, which she was able to sh off, however, before the Reverie had pr ceeded far. It is such an exquisite compo- sition that only a broad, resonant tone will reflect the mind of the master who gave the composition to the world. But it was in the airs of Russia that the violinist appeared at her very best, her work being upon such a high plane that the artist was reflected in every movement of the aifficult composition an_encore she played the intermezzo from “‘Rusticana,’” realizing the grand beauty of the theme, which stands almost alone in the world of music. The work of the club was generally quite worthy, although the singers seemed to feel the presence of a new conductor and were a trifle timid about letting their voices rise to the occasion. There was observable a certain repression which the members will have to obviate before a new standard of excellence Is attained. The best number of the evening was the Kaster hymn by Mas- cagni, with soprang solo by Mrs. J. W. Cot- ton. e chorus warmed to the work and quite surprised the audience, which was very large, with a ' ghow of careful training, the phrdsing being particularly good. Mrs. Cotton' wis in fine volce and sang the solo most agceptably in view of the fact that it wal her first attempt in the part. Mr. Wikins was Leard in the “Ave Maria,” by Apt, supported by male chorus, his solo bafpg h pleasing feature ot a very pleasant 6vering, musically. Mr. Pennell, who madg fis first appearance as a conductor, deseryds congratulation. Tl had the club well ji hand and dirceted with ability. If he will'oply now pay some at- tention to voice bujldifig there seems to be no son why thg Apollo club, under his direction, may. ngt ;rfse to still greater heights in the field of concerted effort - AWESTERIIY'S DEAD, Colonel 1.1, Stephenson.

Stone Ind., Feb. 15— expiated his crime on the gallows in the prison house at 12:08 this morning. The sextuple murderer kept up his air of bravado until the last moment. The death warrant was read to him by Warden Patten at 1 o'clock yester- day afternoon. During the reading Stone preserved the same stoicism that was char- acteristic of the man during his stay in the prison. His spiritual adviser attempted to bring him to a realization of his near approach to death, but in the langunge of tho warden, “he tried to the last to bluft God Almighty and everybody else.” Stone walked to tho gallows without a tremor and met his doom without a word of excuse for his horrible crime. The animal in his nature was exhibited to the last mo- ment. His neck was broken by the fall and there was no movement of the body after he passed through the trap. The crime for which James E. Stone, or Bun Stone, as he was familiarly known, was convicted was committed near the viliage of Glendale, nine miles east of Washington, Ind., on the night of September 18, 1893, and was the peculiarly atrocious and bloody mur- der of Mrs, Blizabeth Wrattan, her son, Denson Wrattan, apd his wife “and three children, All were killad instantly, with the exception of a little girl, Ethel, who lived several days. Arming himself with a corn knife, Stone went to the home of his victims at a fate hour on the night of the crime and observing that they were awake, Denson being confined to his bed with typhoid fever, Stone knocked on the door and being an- swered by the younger Mrs. Wrattan, asked for medicine for the toothache. As she turned to get the remedy, he struck lier a blow on the head with a c knife that rendered her lifeless, then in turn he killed the helpless children, and, when he had finished them, went to where Denson lay abed and dealt him a blow that ended his life. The elder Mrs Wrattan slept in an adjoining room. Finding her door locked, Stone kicked in the window and en- tering finished his bloody work.
