GOSSIP AT THE STATE HOU B. E. Hines of Gage county was this after- noon appointed receiver of the First Com- mercial bank of Odell. This bank went into the hands of the State Banking Board some time ago, but the stockholders agreed to wind up its affairs and pay oft all claims. They have undertaken to do so, but internal dissensions have prevented them and the State Banking Doard has decided again to assume control Andrew Debney, the Fullerton man who was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged May 4, apr to the supreme conrt this afternoon for sus- pension of his sentence until he could pre- pare papers for an appeal to the supreme court for n reversal of the verdict. Judge Post signed the order granting the suspen- slon. Governor Crounse today honored the Tequisition of the governor of Kansas for the return to that state of one Frank Buker, who 18 under arrest at Fremont, for the crime of assault_perpetrated on Delia Drake, a 16- year-old girl living in Labettc county, Kan- sas. charging was _ se ernor of Mi under arre wI of Plattsmouth Defeat Mifls "ommissioners’ P’ N , Neb., March 8.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)-The business men of Plattsmouth have closed a deal whereby a free ferry is to be operated across the Mis- sourl river into Towa and opposite this city. The ferry will commence operations in a few days and the local merchants confi- dently expect that the coming hither of Towa farmers to trade will have a consider- able effect upon the city’s commercial in- terests. The successful issue of the project is the result of the arbitrary ruling of the county cominissioners of Mills county, Iowa, who attempted to destroy competition in the, ferry trade by giving one ferry an ex- clusive license for ten years. Just at present Cass county Is indulging in the somewhat expensive luxury of a grand jury, the first in ten years. The jury has been in session since Monday evening and witnesses have been summoned before it at an alarming rate, the number reaching over 200. As yet nothing is known as to the investigation, and indictments, if any are found, will not be returned until the jury is ready to dissolve. The suit of the Burling- ton against the city of Plattsmouth, wherein the railway company sought to recover some $5,000 paid as taxes to the city on the water and lighting levies, came up for trial before District Judge Chapman and a jury yester- day. The demand which the company pre- sented to the city treasurer and city council for the return of the money was introduced by the company attorney, but the city a torney objected on the ground that the de- mand was not explicit and failed to state Just what levies had been lllegally assessed. This question was argued at some length and resulted in the company being nonsuited, as'it was on this point that the entire case hinged. The railway will appeal to the su- Business M. N Preme court. COSTLY DIVORCE CASE Both F. Winch of Omaha Threatened with Important Litigation. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., March 8.—(Spectal Telegram to The Bee.)—General J. C. Cowin of Omaha arrived in the city last evening and the same train brought Seth F. Winch, also of Omaha. Mr. Winch several years ago commenced divorce proceedings against his wife in the district court of Cass county. Mrs. Winch is a resident of Providence, R. T, and it was the Intention of Winch to obtain the divorce without publicify. Service upon Mrs, Winch was had by publication in a newspaper at Weeping Water, and the notice falling under the eye of an acquaint- ance of Mra, Winch the paper containing the notice was sent to her at Providence. Mrs. Winch at once retained an attorney and made preparations to contest the case, In course of time the case was caMed in district court, and after a rather exciting trial a divorce was granted to Mrs. Winch, together with a generous slice of Seth's earthly possessions. Two weeks after- wards Mr. Winch was married to another woman at Council Bluffs. During the con- test in the courts General Cowin acted as councll for Winch and personally conducted the case before the district court, and now he wants his pay, some $2,400, and has com- ewtnoniced an action to recover that amount. The object of his visit to this city was to obtain depositions from parties here relative to the value of his services, and it is just probable that when litigation Is ‘at an end Mr. Winch will conclude that a Cass county divorce s a rather expensive affair.

Under a recently adoptod rule the court refused to consider the case without a complete record of-the trial from the district court. By the time Mr. Sloan can procure this from the district court reporter and present it to the supreme court, White will probably have served out his fine in jail ro Webraska G. A.

The friends of Charles W. Mosher, the Capital National bank wrecker, are making an effort to secure his pardon. The corridors of the federal bullding have been haunted for several days with certain attorneys who have asked Scip Dundy to al- low them to look over the Mosher indict- ment. Recently several open letters have appeared in the Lincoln papers favoring ex- ecutive clemency for the bank wrecker and seeking to placate the depositors of the “ap- ftal National bank by stating that the down- fall of that institution was due to unfortu- nate speculations and heavy losses on the penitentiary contract. The rumor has becomie current around the federal building that this was simply a por- tion of a prearranged program to secure a presidential pardon for Champagne Charley. The news of a well organized movement to ure the desired document h: been kept in strict secrocy, but it has leaked out. A gentleman of prominence, who s not ad- dicted to the habit of chatting through his chapeau, said yesterday that such a plan was on foot, and that Mosher would be pardoned within two years. It is e lent that Mosher does not anticipate a speedy release from Sioux . A van load of furniture was sent there the other day, billed to his ad- dress. Whether he contemplates fitting up his apartments in the pen in luxurious style or whether his family will remove there is still a matter of conjecture. Charles Whedon of Lincoln, who was Mosher's attorney, is in the city and called at the federal building during the day.

D., March 8.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Two murder indict- ments were disposed of in circuit court today. The Indictment against Frank De- belloy, charging him with being an accessory to the killing of Maggie McDermott, was dis- missed on motion of the state's attorney. It was for this killing that Mary Yusta was this week convicted of manslaughter in the second degree. Debelloy gave the fatal re- volver to the Yusta girl, and formerly lived with the McDermott woman. The indictment against Dr. A. F. Naul- teous, charged with killing Clem Spurling in this city in October, 1892, was quashed on a technicality involvmg the records of the court under the former judge. Naulteous was ordered held to the next grand jury and his former bond of $5,000 was declared to be still in force. The jury in the case against John Wheeler, charged with robbery, has been out since yesterday afternoon. Removed the Bridge. CHAMBERLAIN, 8.

The ice yet remains firm at this point. e — IN THE IRON TRADE. March’s Opening Week Has Not Broug ht Any Great Amount of Satisfaction. CLEVELAND, March 8.—The Iron Trade Review this week says: It cannot be sald that the orenng week in March has brought any encouragement to the iron trade. Quiet- ness prevails at centers usually most acttve. The reaction from the spurt of a few weeks ago, that gave rise to so many predictions of betterment, has been complete, and there is evidence that prices have slipped below the point maintained previous to the ad- vance. If the buying of the past week were taken as a criterion it would be said that the drift was backward. From every plg iron market in the country the report comes of limited transactions and a disposition t wait and feel the way. Pig iron stocks ac: cumulated somewhat in February on foun- dry and forge grades, and the tendency is ‘still in that direction. Opinions differ as to the effect of the low prices of ore outside the soft steel market, but it Is apparent that the new basis will at least draw the line more closely on southern irons, and favoring frelghts will not cut so large a figure in marketing the product of that sec- tion. Pittsburg reports further weakness in Bessemer pig and billets, There Is a short- encd demand for both, and a round lot of Bessemer pig was sold at $10.15 during the week. It is reported that several thousand tons ‘of billets have been disposed of at $15.25 at the makers' mills. pathi S A Secured r Divorce. BOISE, Idaho, March 8.—A decree of di- vorce has been granted to Florence Martin Miller from Willlam B. Miller. Mrs. Miller is a daughter of the late Colonel Henry Cooper of Milwaukee, who was a consul in Italy under President Grant. Her mother 1s now Countess Sargardl of Venice, who holds a half interest in the count’s estate worth $15,000,000. HEWOULDN T PLAY A Jealous Guard Packs His Knapsack and Goes Home, There was quite a flutter of excliement among the gallant young men and fair young ladies who assembled at Exposition hall last night, and this is what it was all about: The guards had just been put through their courses by Captain Mulford and had retired to see tho young ladles (who are to take part in the ‘Merchants' Carnival’ to- night) do thelr drill. The skill and grace with which these soldierly maidens executed the intricate maneuvers given them was such as to elicit the frequent applause of some of the laity who were present. The boys in blue didn't seem to mind this until some one remarked that “Give the girls the same show the boys had had and they would double discount them. This seemed to pro- voko the ire of a young “Mars” standing near, and he indignantly inquired which one of the Merchants' Carnival girls would dare meet him in competitive drill, The answer was that most any one of them would hustle him on points. But he insisted on having the particular one designated, so he was told “Pond Lily Cream” girl would be a brigadier general before he ever became high private. Oh, wasn’t he mad! He turned on his heel and walked away, mutter- ing something about a glrl all covered with Pond Lilies and bottles being called a better soldler than & man who had drilled twice a week for three years. It is probable that Captain Mulford will coax him back and that he will appear with the guards and the pretty giri soldiers in the Merchants' Carni- val at Exposition hall tonight. The manu- facturers of Pond Lily Cream have forwarded a bottle to tho aggrieved soldier, aud his ruflied feellngs will no doubt be smoothed by tonight. DATLY BEE<“FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1894.' WHATS THIS?
