LINCOLN, March 80.—(Special to The Bee,)—Governor Crounse expressed consider- able surprise this afternoon upon being In- formed that the case started by himself February 6 to test the constitutionality of the law requiring the Investment of the permanent school fund In registered state warrants had not yet been submitted to the supreme court. The case was in the nature of a mandamus requiring the stato treasur. to purchase a state warrant presented by the governor. The treasurer declined to pay the warrant out of the permanent school fund and a friendly case was arranged. Attorney General Hastings prepared the papers for the governor, while the treasurer is repre- sented by J. H. Ames of this city. The governor has been under the impression all along that the case had been submitted to the supreme court, and when informed that the supreme court records did not show such to be the fact he instituted a littlo investi- gation on his own responsibility. He was assured by the attorney general himselt that the case had been properly sub- mitted and that he (the atorney general) had an intimation that an opinion would ba handed down by the court in a very briet time, The governor then visited the clerk of the supreme court and found that accord- ing to the records in that office the case had not been submitted. e then went to the docket which always reposes before the chief justice when the court is upon the tonch, The docket contalned nothing to show that the case, which involves so much to the taxpayers of the state, had ever been brought to the officlal notice of the court. So the matter rests. Either the attorney general Is mistaken or the case has been presented and no record made of the fact on the docket. Chief Justice Norval informed The Bee this evening that the case had not yet been submitted, and he certainly believed that the attorney general was laboring under a misapprehension. Attorney General Hast- ings was asked by The Bee as to his recol- loction of the matter. He sald he was posi- tive that the case had been submitted. Tho chief justice eame In during the interview and informed the attorney general that the court did not consider that the case was before it. According to mutual agreement the case will bo submitted when the court assemblos next Tuesday morning. Chief Jus- tico Norval says that in all probability the court will be able to hand down an opinlon at the next regular sitting after next week's sesslon. Governor Crounse Is quite indignant over what at first appeared to be an unnecessary delay in submitting so important a case to the supreme court. He Is extremely anxious to enforce the law requiring the Investment of the permanent school fund in state war- rants and only commenced the test case after the State Board of Educational Lands and Funds had failed to arrive at any de- olslon in regard to the law. The law has been on the statute books for three years and no attempt has been made to enforce it until this winter. Its enforcement would have saved the state many thousands of dollars by way of interest. INVESTING SCHOOL MONEY. A seml-officlal proposition has been sub- mitted to the State Board of Educaiional Lands and Funds for the sale of $500,000 of the recent lssuo of government bonds. Governor Crounse stated to The Bee this afterncon that he favored the purchase of United States bonds {n the absence of any other form of investment. He stated that the watetr had boen Informally discussed in the meetings of the board, but that no definite consclusion had been reached. The point had been raised that if the board in- vested the idle money in the schoool fund in United States bonds it would have no funds with which to purchase county bonds bearing a lilgher rate of interest. The su- preme court of the state has made a deci- slon covering this point. It has decided that the board, having once invested in any class of securities, has no authority to sell those securities in order to reinvest the money in a class of bonds bearing a higher rate of intorest, or to exchange them for bonds bearing a higher rate. The governor was of the opinion, however, that the board would bo perfectly safe in golng ahead with the purchase of United States bonds and asking the leglslature at the next session for authority to sell or exchange them for other bonds bearing a higher rate. INCENDIARIES AT WORK AGAIN. A third attempt to burn the large bullding of the Wesleyan Mothodist, University Place, was made by an unknown Incendlary late yesterday afternoon. Shortly after 5 o'clock one of the students went to the basement of the building on an errand and noticed a strong odor of smoke. Following the smoke he mado the discovery that a fire had been started in one of the water closets in the corner of the basement. A five-gallon can of kerosene ofl had been placod within a few inches of the fire and the whole covered with an old mattress. The fire was quickly extin- guished, but had it been discovered a few minutes later it would have developed into a conflagration, as the explosion of the large can of oil would have given the flames a start that would have given the university people a great deal of trouble. The building is in- sured. As yet the village of University Place has no facilities for combating fire, although steps are boing taken for a system of water works. There is no clew to the fdentity of the'man who is trylng to burn the build- ing. The Halsh manual training school was first destroyed and three attempts have been made within the past thirty days to burn the large building. WILL PAROLE THREE CONVICTS, Warden Beemer today approved the bonds of three convicts who will be given their Iiberty within the coming week under the parole law passed by the last legislature, They are McCann, the Lincoln hackman, who shot and wounded a fellow hackdriver on the 13th of last July, and who was sen- tenced to one year In the penitentiary; Fin- ley, sent up from Douglas county for rob- bery, and Herring, sent up from Battle Creek for train robbery. McCann will go to work for Forbes, the well known Lincoln liveryman, Finley will work on a farm near Malcolm, fn this county, and Herring will find employment with a farmer near Mad- ison, in Madison county. Under the pro- visions of the law the employers give a bond for the good conduct of the men, and the men themselves are under bond to port to the warden once ev month, giv ing that official & statement of the amount of money they earn during the month and the amount they spend. Warden Heemer approved the bonds today after thoroughly satisfying himself that the employers were all good men. He paid a personal visit to all the proposed employers. McCann will be released tomorrow, while the other two will be liberated Tuesday. When they are at liberty they will increase the number of convicts out on parole to nine. There are at present about fifty convicts in the state penitentiary who are eligible for parole. Warden Beemer states that the men already paroled have been steady and Industrious, and all have forwarded thelr monthly re- ports with rogularity. The warden is much {mpressed with the excellent workings of the law. * SENTENCE DAY IN COURT, This was sentence day in the criminal division of the district court. Walter Clarke, the aristocratic young clothing thief who was last week brought to Lincoln from Boston, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to sixteen months In the state penitentiary. He made an eloquent plea for mercy, alleg- ing that he had a wife and child in Boston and that he had been living an honest life in Boston for the past twg years. His mother and sister also wrote affecting letters to the court. He has agreed to pay the exponses of returning him o Nebraska and when he does so the court has agreed to quash the other three informations wgainst him. Isaac Wittman was given elghteen months in the stale penileutiary, His attornoy asked for a suspension of sentence for sixty days in order to give time for an appeal to the supreme court. Charles Johnson, the well known hot tomollie man, who has been a familiar figure on Lincoln streets for several years past, was given two years in the pen for a folonious assault on a man named Ballard, SOME BANK HISTORY. The time in which creditors of the de- funct Nebraska Savings bank of this city could file claims with the recefver expired last evening. The claims of the eight Lin- coln banks which came to the rescue of the Nebraska Savings bank when the depositors made the first run on the institution were refused by Receiver Morrill, which brings out the following facts in connection with the history of this institution: The depositors made a.run on the bank on May, 11, 1893. The officers applied to the other banks of the city for assistance, and after o hasty discussion the eight solvent banks of the city advanced $50,000 in cash in the hopes of tiding the shaking institu- tlon over its peril into smoother fnancia seas. This big bunch of $50,000 was the one' 8o ostensibly flourished in the faces of the exclted depositors by C. H. Morrill, now the recetver of the bank he proposed to save by so brave an exhibition of greenbacks In order to secure this $50,000 the Nebraska Savings bank signed notes for tho amount, one-halt of the entire amount being due on January 1, 1804, and the remaining half on July 1, 1894, For the purpose of securing payment of these notes for $50,000 the Ne- braska Savings bank deposited notes and other collateral security with Richard Mil- ler, cashier of the Lincoln Savings bank, as trustee. The collateral notes amounted to $55,279, of which the sum of $9,158 has been collected and applied pro rata upon the amount due the Lincoln banks from the de- funct institution. Finding that they were likely to fall short of the amount of their claim, the banks presented to Receiver Morrill their claims against the defunct bank in amounts as follows American Exchange National bank, $6,702; Columbla_National, $6,702; German Natlonal, $6,697; First National, $6,702; Union Sav- ings, $6,702; Merchants, $5,701; Lincoln Say- ings, $5,701; Industrial Savings, $5,085. Recelver Morrill declined to admit these claims and declined to lssue receiver's cer- tificates therefor. The matter was pre- sented to the State Banking Board and that body justified the refusal of the receiver to allow the claims on the ground that the collateral already held by the bank was suf- ficient to meet the notes given by the defunct bank. The banks are not dis- posed to rest the matter where it is, but have engaged the services of Hon. G. M. Lambertson and John H. Ames to prose- cute their claims before the supreme court. The banks wish to give up their collateral and divide pro rata with the other creditors of the defunct institution. SIP AT THE STATE HOUS Chief Clerk D. A. Campbell of the preme court went to Omaha today. The city of Blair registered school bonds to the amount of $5,000 with the auditor this afternoon, Articles of incorporating the County Abstract company were filed with the secretary of state this afternoon.

Weiss, attorney for ex-Treasurer Werner, appeared before the Board of County Commisaioners and re- ported that a committee had been appointed which had examined the books and had re- ported that the shortage was but $2,814.56; that an item of $2,535.18, which was in the form of county jail warrants, which Wer- ner's predecessor turned over to him four years ago as cash and was 80 receipted and counted as cash, has in error been chargod to Werner twice. The commissioners agreed with the attorney that Werner is entitled to & oredii representing the warrants re- terred to. Mr. Werner further contends that ho 13 also entitled to a credit of $562 from the state for over payments made. He was given until April 21" to make his ac- counts good. It appears that the matter can only bo satisfactorily settled In the dis- triet court. Cards are out announcing the wedding of the well known and popular soclety members, W. H. Frame and Miss Effle B. Leach, to be celebrated April 4 at noon. The affalr will be awaited with much in- terest.

ANUSEN There Is an up-to-dateness about Herr- mann's performances that cannot fail to please, instruct and very often mystify the most blase of theater goers. Although this king of necromancers has been an annual visitor to Omaha for years, he never comes with a spiritless or uninteresting entertain- ment. His brilllant mind is always at work for new and sensational features, and he came to Boyd's last night with the very best performarnce he has given on the local stage. Many of his new features are suf- ficiently startling to arouse the wildest en- thusiasm, while the serpentine movements of Mme. Herrmann are the apotheosis of grace and beauty, Among the many novel acts the prince of conjurers introduced the th of the Flag'" “After the Ball, cape from Sing Sing” and the mysters ous swing quite easily cap the climax for bewildering effects.
