NEBRASKA CITY, Feb. 20.—(Speclal to The Bee.)—Rey. Father Corbett of Palmyra, of whom s0 much has been written, was In the city last evening. In an interview with The Bee correspondent he exprossed himselt as believing in the truth and justice of his cause, and said that while he may lose his case, he will bear the cross and is confident that God will take care of him. In response to a query concerning the letter published by Bishop Bonacum as alleged to have been received from Mgr. Satolli, Father Corbett said “Mgr. Satolli s a father of charity. Should e ask me to put my hand in a bed of liy- ing coals 1 should obey; I have that much faith in him. He never wrote that letter as published by Bishop Bonacum, in the face of what he has written us. I have al been an obedient son to my father at Ron because he was a father. I believe Mgr. Satolli to be the same to me and to e priest in this country. Well does ever downtrodden clergyman under every de. potlc bishop, from the Atlantic to the Rockies and from the lakes to Dallas, Tex., understand those words.

FUNKE OPERA HOUSE THREATENED, Basement of the Building Wrecked by Flames and Water. LINCOLN, Feb. 20.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—A few moments after 7 o'clock this evening a dense volume of smoke was seen pouring out of the basement of the old Funke opera house at Twelfth and O streets, and almost at the same instant the plate glass windows in front of the dry goods store of Block & Coln, who occupy part of the first floor of the opera house, burst out with a crash. A general alarm was turned in and in a few moments every fire company in the city was at the scene. The fire proved to be in the basement under Block & Cohn’s dry goods and M. Ackerman's wholesale mil- linery house. The basement was packed solidly with goods and the fight between firemen and flames was exceedingly stub- born, Twelve lines of hose-were laid and both' steamers were in action for two hours. Not until 9 o'clock did the fire department get control of the burning basement. At no time, however, did the flames burst through the floor. The hottest fire was in the basement directly beneath the stage of the opera house, and had the flames burst through the floor the entire building would have burned in a short time. Losses will be heavy, although they cannot be estimated. M. Ackerman, proprictor of the Famous millinery store, did a wholesale and retail business. He carried a stock of $23,000, with $12,000 insurance. His stock wil be almost a total loss, as hoth the first floor and base~ ment were flooded with water. Block & Cohn carried a stock of dry goods valued at from $35,000 to $30,000, with $32,000 insurance. The exact amount of insurance cannot be determined, but the loss from fire and water will be heavy. W. R. Pennis, hatter, occupied the store next to Block & Cohn. His loss will be heavy, but will result entirely from thrown into his smoke, as no water was room. None of the occupants of the bullding Know how the fire originated, but from every indication it started in th furnace room. The opera house Itself is on the second story of the block and was uninjured by fire or water, The building is four stories, sev- enty-five foot frontage and 125 feet deep.” It was erected in 1576 and belongs to the es- tate of the late General Otto Funke.

Conklin has been in poor health for some time and un- able to provide for his family. His parents, esiding in the east, are wealthy, and ‘onklin applied the county commis- sloners for transportation. The board, how- over, objected to furnishing him with a ticket, as his family would have to remain with no visible means of support. Conklin, then, it never before, realized that his family was a burden, and filed sult for divorce against his wife, alleging cruel and abusive language toward him while he was sick, Church Parsonage Burned, BANCROPFT, Neb., Feb. 20.—(Special to The Bee)—Yesterday morning about 8§ o'clock the parsonage of the German Lutheran church about five miles southwest of this place was entirely consumed by fire.

THE MORSE DRY GOODS CO. SELLING WALKER’S BANKRUPT STOCK. NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Lincoln People Finally Conclude to Make Extensive Improvements, LAWYER CHARGED WITH CROOKED WORK H. . Blodgett Called Into Court to Explain Alleged Questionable Methods Which an Old Man's Property Was Secured. LINCOLN, Feb, 20.—(Special to The Bee.) —It Is finally settled that Lincoln will have a new high school building. The matter reached a settlement only after a bitter con- tention among the friends and opponents of the profect. Some weeks ago the school board adopted plans for a new building. Then it was discovered that the plans pro- vided for a very expensive and ornamental structure and the scheme was vigorously assailed by prominent citizens. The columns of the local press teomed with let- ters bristling with statistics. Public meet- ings were held and finally the pressure upon the members of the Board of Education became so strong that they succumbed. They have now adopted new plans providing a building which will cost about $75,000. The former plans contemplated an outlay of from $95,000 to $135,000, according to the sentiments of the men who published the estimates, The new building will be 76 feet deep and 245 feet long, four stories high with a high basement. The plumbing, heating and ven- tilating will be given especial attention and it is proposed to make the building a first class one in every respect. The city has the cash in hand with which to crect the struc- ture and work will be commenced as soon as working plans and specifications can be pre- pared. CHARGED WITH CROOKED WORK. H. H. Bloggett, a well known attorney and real estate dealer in this city, has been called into court to answer some very serious charges. Some weoks ago L. N. Teachman, a man in his employ, died, leaving a wili in which he left $1 to his wife and $1 to each of his suryiving children. The balance of his estate he left to Blodgett and appointed him administrator. Something of a disturb- ance was raised by the dead man's family at the time and Blodgett offered to pay over the entire estate to the relatives of the de- ceased it they would settle the debts against it. The relatives were not satisfied with this and today commenced a suit in the pro- bate court to set aside the will. They not only charge that Blodgett exercised unduo influence to induce Teachman to draw the will in his favor, but that he induced him to drink intoxicating liquor and then had him draw up and sign the will while he was drunk, LEGALITY OF THE OCCUPATION TAX, The legality of the occupation tax as re- gards forelgn corporations doing business in | Nebraska is to be settled by a caso argued before the supreme court this forenoon. The city council of Fremont passed an ordinance lovying a tax of $150 per year on the busi- ness and occupation of all companies which received and transmitted telegraphic mes- sages from that city to points within the state of Nebraska or from points in the stato to that city. The ordinance expressly pulated that all messages which might be classed as interstate were not i ed within the comprehension of the act. he Western Unlon Telegraph company refused to pay the tax and the city undertook to collect it by dis The case was resisted and the district decided in favor of the city. It was appesled to the supreme court and argued this forenoon. City Attoraey Dolezal appeared for the city of Fremont, while Judge Davis of Omaha represented the Western Union, The principle points elaborated upon by Judge Davis were: The legislature has not invested the city of Fremont with the power to tax the business described In the ordi- nance; that it is not in the power of the leg Islature to delegate to one municipal cor poration the power to tax a business which is not carried on within the limits of such corporation; that the tax I8 vold because it 15 & burden upon Interstate eommerce. On behalt of the city of Fremont City Attorney Dolezal contended that the license tax in this case I8 not a tax on or a regu lation of interstate commerce, and that the ordinance levied the tax only upon that bust | ola ness of the telegraph company which is done within the city. AGAINST OMAHA'S STREET RAILWAY. The supreme court today decided that the Omaha Street Railway company must pay the damages sustained by reason of the Injuries of Matthew W. Clair, who was run over by the cars of the company in Omaha on the evening Bt December 24, 1883. On the date mentioned Clair was passing along Fourteenth streét and 'at the intersec- tion of Fourteenth and Dodge was struck by an east-bound car. . He was thrown to the ground, and getting up in a dazed con- dition, started to get away when he was again run down, this time by a west-bound car. He was struck by the gearing under the car, some heavy bolts being forced through his leg at the knee, and was dragged and rolled along the ground for about seventy feet. He was confined to his bed for 'six months and was made a cripple for life. He sued the street rail- way company for $25,000 damages and se- cured a verdict. The company brought the case to the supreme court and that body today affirmed the judgment of the district court. WILL BE PROSECUTED. Indlcted for Hanging in Efgy Morton and His Son. NEBRASKA CITY, Feb. 20.—(Special Telegram - to The Bee.)—The Otoe county grand jury promptly and thoroughly investi- gated the hanging In efigy of J. Sterling Morton and son and found only two persons Two M implicated, Zack T. White and Henry W. Hocrath, one a constable and the other a painter, They have been indicted under the statute for what all term a dastardly act. The dction of the grand jury is heartily endorsed by all, regardless of politics. M. Morton and his estimable famiiy are held in high esteem in tiis community. The gullty parties had no other motive tnan that of pure cussedness in committing the out- rage and perhaps were not aware that the laws of Nebraska could reach them. Minden Merchant Dies Suddenly. MINDEN, Feb. 20.—(Special to The Bee.) —V. Abrahamson, cashier of the First Na- tional bank, died very suddenly about 3 o'clock this morning of heart failure.

Maud says she often at- temptd to leave, but that she threat ened with harm it she did. Jones says the girl was merely a domestic and that she was not benig compelled to re main against her wishes.

Throughout most of this time there have been more than the needful 197 members within sight from the speaker's desk, but many of the refusing to answer to their names when called. Outside the hall, but in the city, there have been more than enough members in favor of the bill, it its friends had all rallied, to have put it through last week. It was said today that there were fifteen free silver members in the city who were absent from the capitol. It Is not strange that under these circum- stances the democrats, and particularly the supporters of the Bland bill, have been chaf- ing under the rules which permit almost end- less filibustering, particularly as they know from past experience that so long as the present rules remain unamended the repub- licans will continue to compel them to muster a quorum for the passage of any measures distasteful to the minority. With Mr. Reed in the chalr the tactics which now obstruct legislation were impossible, becau of his mecthod of recording the members present ‘but not voting. The logic of cvents, so think the republicans, Is forcing the democrats toward the alternative of re- sorting to these rules or acknowledging their “helplessness. iThe refuge toward which democrats are turning seems to be the adoption of a rule for fining members Wwho refuse to vote when they are pre: There are two proposals before the house. One is that of Jjournal Cierk Crutchfield, who has drafted a rule for fining members the amount of one day's pay. The other was emhodied {n the resolution of Repre- sentative de Armond of Missouri, intro- duced yesterday, for calling the names of delinquents ®three times, then summoning them before the bar of the house an dimpos- ing a fine of $50. The more thoroughly the fining members is discus: does it find because of its lack of practica bility. The weak point in this plan lies in the ‘inherent good nature of the house, for even the Dbitterest political enemies are warm personal friends, There is a strong feeling of comradeship among the members of the house which makes it unpopular and difficult to force any penalties, Judge Holman of Indiana, the father of the house, said of the proposal I would like to see a rule adopted for fining a mem- ber who refuses to vote, but I'm afraid it is Impracticable. 1 have scen hundreds and hundreds of members fined, but the fines are never collected, The house always relents after the heat of the particular battle is over and remits the fine so that the fines are dead letters, here I8 & standing rule on the books re- quiring the sergeant-at-arms to deduct from the salary of the absentee, but this rule has never been enforced, One member suggests proposition for the less favor that it shall be amended so that when a member has failed to respond to his namo a certaln number of times the seargeant-at arms shall be Instructed tv withhold or day's pay from his salary. Without definite Instructions that official will not carry out the rule, as he has no official knowledge of the absence of members. A resolutlon was introduced in @& former congress by Mr Balley of Texas for fining absentees, but it was referred to some committee from which it never saw the light Republicans are pleased with the situa tion because they consider it a vin jon of the famous Reed rulings. When ex Speaker Reed was asked what he thought of the de Armond resolution he replied in his usual terse manner: ‘“That is impractic able for two reasons, if not more. It would be a rather humiliating spectacle to b fining members when the only object to be attained s to learn that they are present but not voting, Information which the speaker could obtain if he would merely open his eyes. Moreover; roll call would be & matter of a week, more or loss, if th name of every member not voting called three times. And in the end nobody would pay his fine. Members would go meekly from the bar of the house, not with a sense of loss of pocket, but of person humiliation. Even those democrats who are opposed to the Bland bill recognize the need of compulsory measures to compel members to vote. Representatives Cockran, Tracey, and others said today that they would favor a rule to fine delinquents, but they realized that there were obstacles in the way of its enforcement and he wished =ome more effective means could be devised.
