Rajah has been in this country one year and is gradually becoming clvilized and accustomed to the ways of th, American circus. The circus posters this summer will say that Rajah is “‘a veritable oly tread makes moving mountain, whose s writer of circus the earth tremble,” and the literature has not stretched his elastic imag- ination much in making this statement either. Rajah s without doubt the larg clephant in captivity anywhere. He Is two inches taller than the late lamented Jumbo was in life and weighs 8,000 pounds more, The reporter didn't take the agent's state- ment for this, but measured the big brute himself, and can therefore speak as one hav- ing authority. Rajal’s kecper, Frank Fisher, stays by his side night and day and the two are as much in love with each other as a newly married couple. Irank is an old-time elephant trainer and is loaded to the muzzle with interesting stories of the habits and in- telligence of the “big uns.” He has been with the Lemen show about a year and has been connected with all the big shows at different times.

The julges of the district court, or at least all of those who were in the city, were upon the bench yesterday hearing motions, al- lowing defaults and in a general way clos- ing up the business of the February term, which adjourned last night. In the criminal section a number of the prisoners from the county jail were arraigned, while those who were oat on bail appeared and renewed their bonds until the next term, which con- venes tomorrow morning. The garbage case of Henry Coombs and others against Alexander Macdonald and others was due in the court presided over by Judge Ferguson, where it is to be ar- gued and submitted on affidavits, but owing to the absence of the judge the proceedings went over ope week. In the meantime the attorneys for the plaintiffs will flle addi- tional affidavits, tending to show that the contract was secured through fraud and that the garbage and the dumps are not be- ing attended to in accordance with the con- tract now In force. Some months ago Anna Sammons filed a petition asking that the courts divorce her from her husband, William, she alleging that the husband was a bad man and that he had treated her in a most brutal man- ner. g Yesterday William filed his answer, in which he alleges that it was his wife and not him- self that was the brute. In making his showing he avers that ever since entering the marriage relations with Anna he has been an exemplary husband; that he has worked carly and late on a dray wagon, trying to gather sufficient money to support the family, consisting of him:elf, the wife and a brood of small children, ‘While he has been doing all of this he maintains that his wife has been striking him in the face, calling him foul names and associat- ing 'with obnoxious people. Moreover, -and to help along with family affairs, he declares that he has swepl, wushed, ironed and cooked. Now he wants the decree of separation and the custody of the children, The American Bank Building company and the American Loan and Trust company have commenced suit against the following named insurance companies to recover the following amounts: Milwaukee Mechanics, $1,000; Mercantile Fire and Marine, $1,000; People's, §1,000; Concordia, $1,000; Hanover, $1,000; Queen, $1,000; Niagara, $1,000. The plaintiffs were the owners of the old Boyd opera house at the corner of Fifteenth and Farnam streets, and which was de- stroyed by fire during the afternoon of Oc- tober 2, 1803. The defendants carried the risk on the building and have failed and re- fused to pay the losses. In the divorce case of Rebecca agalnst John Alperson the plaintiff has applied to the court for an order allowing alimony dur- ing the pendency of the suit and until the issues can be passed upon. Louis Slobadisky sued the Ihoenix Fire Insurance company of Hartford, Conn., and the Phoenix. of Brooklyn some months ago to recover the sum of $6,500, the amount of the policles which were carried upon his buildings at the time when they burned, which was on February 21, 1893, Today the insurance companies filed their answers, in which they alliege at at the time of the fire the buildings cre unoccupled, which relieved the defendants from liability. Judge Walton came down from his home at Bluir and was on the bench for a short time, disposing of some ex-parte matters which were upon his docket, Speaking of his health, the judge said that it had fm- proved very materially since his return from Hot Springs and that he would enter upon the work of the next term of court* feeling better than he had for several months, Judge Ambrose is still in the cast, whither he went to regain his health, but advices from the members of his fa mily to friends in the city are to the effect that he is much better than when he left and that he will return during the first of the week, pre- {mrwl to take up his work on the jury docket n om No. 8, llie Cavanaugh, administratrix of the tate of Patrick Cavanaugh, has brought sult in an action to recover $5,000 damages from the Cudahy Packing company of South Omaha. Cavanaugh was working for the company, and on February 14, 1804, he was struck by a falling pully and killed. —-— Mutes Will Vicaie, The deuf mutes of the city have been granted the use of the southeast corner of Hanscom park on July 4 by the park com- missioners.

The meeting was the outcome of the agitation started something over a year ago by Terrence V. Powderly, Joseph R. Bu- chanan and a few other labor leaders of national prominence, The call was fssued by Buchanan and was in part as follows: “The most seriouk phase of the present situation Is the unorganized condition of the labor movement itself. Our unions are. scattered and sundered, and in some cases are wasting their energles in warring upon each other. There must be a thorough unification, a close alliance of all organized workers, without regard to creed, occupa- tion, sex or nationality. “Not being connected with any organiza- tion in an official capacity not the slightest question can be raised as to my motives in calling this conference. The aim of the con- ference will be not to digplace or weaken any existing organization, but to strengthen and increase the power of each.” Something over sixty authorized delegates attended the conference, nearly all of whom were men of national note in labor circles. Some dissatisfaction was noted on account of the date of the meeting being fixed when the executive board of the Knights of Labor was In session in Chicago, and a few of those present thought that it was a scheme to keep the authorized representatives of the Knights out of the conference, but before the deliberations began J. G. Schonfarber, the editor of the Knights of Labor Journal, appeared with his credentials and showed a willingness to say what he thought of the measires advocated. John B. Lennon of the Journeymen Tai'ors union, A. W. Wright of the Knights of Labor and M. M. Garland of the Iron and Steel Workers union were appointed on credentia After the conference had been organized Mr. Buchanan took the floor to explain the objects of the conference, which he did in a very able manner and at great length. He said that the agitation for a union of all the labor forces had been going on for some years past and that if the leaders of the various labor organizations would not take up the matter and push it to completion the rank and fle would soon see to ft that leaders were chosen who would carry out the wishes of the workers. Mr. Buchanan declared that the time was ripe when, the toilers should bestir themselves in an’ effort to arouse the workers of all trades and callings from their lethargy to {mmediate, positive and far-reaching action. There would have to be radical changes be- fore labor would receive its just reward. He thought that this meeting would be product- ive of good results if all present would work in harmony and do their best. The toilers should combine to protect themselves against man's natural selfishness. He favored po- litical action as the one remedy to lead the workers to success. P. J. McGuire of the Brotherhood of Car- penters and Joiners was not so positive of this being the right way to go at reforming the country, *but” was willing to give it a trial if so many others thought it would produce the results desired. John B. Len- non spoke heartily in favor of the plan and thought that an overwhelming majority of tho members of his union in the country favored some such a scheme, whereby the workers of all classes might be joined to- gether to protect themselves and the govern- ment. R Samuel Gompers, president of the Federa- tion of Labor, sald that this plan was the only feasible ‘one and that the federation could not be reorganized unless the knights gave up their trade assemblies. No other plan of unification would work. The Federa- tion of Railroad men should also come into the Federation of Labor. A. W. Wright of the Knights of Labor thought that the federation should make concessions to the knights that all mixed organizations could be organized under the knights, in consider- ation that the trades assemblies go into the federation, Mr. Powderly thought that the members could easily belong to both, and cited the fact that the brewery workers now had charters under both the federation and the Knights of Labor. J. G. Schonfarber, the authorized repre- sentative of the knights, then addressed the conference. He said: “I come here represent- ing the general executive board of the Knights of Labor with explielt instructions. I certainly cannot take any action favoring Mr. Buchanan's-idea or ari on a committee where the resolution is approved. I favor unification_on economic and political lines, but am surprised that Mr. Buchanan should recommend the breaking down of the trades assemblies of the Knights of Labor to build up another order.” This declaration stirred up considerable “trouble, which it seemed for a time would end in'a split of the con- ference, but finally cooler heads prevailed and while nothing definite was decided upon, a committee was appointed to further investigate and see what could be done to- ward the objects sought. Delegates were present following organizations: The of Labor, The Federation of Brotherhood ~ of Locomotive Firemen, Cigarmakers International union, Central Labor unions, United Hatters of America, Garment Cutters union, Amalgamated Lace Curtain workers, Bridge Workers Interna- tional union, Tailors union, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, United Garment workers, Bricklayers and ' Masons union, Cutlery Workers union, Hotel and Restaurant Eni- ployes alliance, United Green Glass Workers, Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steci workers, Clothing cutters, Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, Brewery Workmen's union, Carriage and Wagon Workers union, Barbers International union and Interna- tional Coopers union.

The eight and ten-ifnch rolling mills of the Pennsylvania Bolt and Nut works, and the wills of the East Lebanon Iron company at Lebanon, Pa., have resumed at the reduced scale of wages. The Lebanon Iron company resumed at the compromise rate of $2.75 per ton for puddlers and a proportionate scale for helpers and laborers. The Cigar Makers Journal says: “Many dealers in cigars have a habit of stating that Key West cigars are union made, but that for divers reasons—which arise accord- ing to whim—the blue label of the interna- tional union is not placed upon them, while, as a matter of fact, the Key West cigars made in Key West, Fla, are not made by members of the internafional union, and are not entitled to be covered by the blue label. Friends and well wishers of union labor and the blue label will please take notice.” DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. One Man Steals While Anotl Has a Button Sewed On His Clothes. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon two men went into the merchant tailor shop of R. Kalish, 315 North Sixteenth street, when one of them approached him, and reaching into his pocket drew out 10 conts and hand- ing it to Mr. Kalish said, “I would like to have you sew a button on my pants.” Mr. Kalish invited the other man to a chair, while he sewed on the button. He then took the man into the rear of his store to do the sewing, and when he returned he noticed that the man he had invited to a chair had Qisappearcd. He further discovered that three bolts of fine cloth had disappearcd with him. Mr. Kalish at once said to the man for whom he sewed on the button, *“Where did the other man go and where are my goods.”” The man replied he did not know anything about the other party; that he was not acquainted with him, and he knew less about the goods. (Kalish teld him he would hold him for the goods, as he thought he knew something about them and where the other man was Hkely to go. The fellow appeared to be astonished that he should be taken for a thief, but he got out of it in this way. He told Mr. Kalish that it would be a good plan for(both of them to go at once and search for the man and the goods, one going one way and one going the other. To this Mr. Kalish partly assented, but said they would go together, and he held a firm grip on the man’s coat. To the corner of Sixteenth and Chicago streets they went and looked up and down, but no man was in sight. Kalish then commenced to ask the man where the other had gone and some other questions, but he had occasion to look away a moment, /When the man broke and ran, leaving his coat in Mr, Kallsh's hands. “Phere was nothing:in the pockets to indicate who the man was. . The two men were seen to meet at Fifteenth and Webster stroets, at least it was supposed to be them, as one had a bolt of cloti under his arm, and the other was in his shirt sleeves, but as the theft was not then known no arrests were made. an ‘The ouly Pure Cream of Tartar en in enforced idleness for 11, have Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, *PRIGE’S 1894 ~TWENTY PAGES [ AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Doings of a Day in the Oity to the Sou:h, MEETING OF A DRIVE WHIST CLUB Events and Happenings that Go to Help The Drive Whist club held its last game of the series at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D.

He was too drunk to give an ac- count of himself. The dress has been worn but very little. On account of the fellow’s shabby appearance the police are of the opinion that he stole the goods. An investi- gation developed that Smith had fallen out with"his mistress in Topeka, Kan., and when he left there he brought her wardrobe with him. He was fined a nominal sum for drunkenness. Last Night's Concert. The concert given under the auspices of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor at the Presbyterian church drew out a fair house Friday night, and the enter- tainment was well received. Miss Myrtle Coon of Omaha was warmly received, and sang so charmingly that she was repeatedly encored. The playing by the Magic City orchestra was fine. The Trocadero quar- tet was one of the hits of the evening. James Smith’s comic song pleased every- body, and the piano playing by Prof. Sig- mund Landsberg was highly complimented. In fact, each number on the program was good, and the society may well feel proud of the result of its efforts to give a first class musical entertainment. Gashed with a Knife, Jack Smith, an employe of Cudahy's pack- ing house,* met with an accident Friday which came near costing him his life. He was at work on an elevated platform with a large sharp knife in his hand when he slipped and fell a_distance of several feet. The knife reached the floor first and ingtrying to brush the blade from under his body as he fell Smith's wrist was gashed frighttully. The palm of one hand was also seriously cut. The unfortunate fellow lost a large amount of blood before medical aid could be secured. He was taken to Dr. Thomas Kelley's office where the wounds were skillfully dressed and two hours later he was removed to his home. Odatellows' Entertainment.
