HAS INGALLS HAD HIS DAY? The Caustic and Iridesoent ~Statesman Shelved by the Young Bioods, 80 SAYS A K'NSAS POLITICIAN Btory of a Newspaper Scoop and the Seooped ~Private John Allen Touched by & Long Sermon—The Abolition of the stand, WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—(Special)—"1 do not think that John J. Ingalls will ever again be sent to the senate by the republi- cans of Kansas,” says ex-Governor lsaac 8harp of the Grashopper commonweaith. “You see Ingalls had the senatorship for eighteen years. He has been out four years; that makes a total of twenty-two years since he started upon his career, You will observe that a new generation of strong and ambi- tious young men has grown up and taken | metive intercst in. political affairs during those years. The young republicans of Kan- #as are now in charge of the political ma- chinery. They all feel that Senator Ingalls had long enough lease of power and fame, and they do not want to stand aside for him any longer. They realize that Ingalls Is a great man, but they do not feel that they owe him homage.” “When Scnator David Davis of Tllinols was marricd,” says Charile Murray, now of New York, 1 was here representing a Pitts- burg paper, and went, with a number of other correspondents, to Fayetteville, N. €., to report the wedding. 1 learned from the telegraph operator that he had never handled large batches of correspondence, When I told him that 1 would want to file 2,000 or may be 2,500 words on the evening of the wedding, and that the other correspondents would want to do the same, he neurly fainted. 1 helped him out and did myself a Eood turn at the same time by Wrilng my | ¢"op, democrats do mot act upon the bill at description of the country, the appearance of the bride, her wedding dress, and a descrip- tion of the bridesmaids, eariy in the after- noon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—There is & strong nndercurrent of beliet among members of congress that the Nicaragua canal will re- celve very earnest consideration during the session of congress which begins on Monday. This feeling is especially pronounced at the house and at the capitol, and prevails par- ticularly among southern members. Even those who, like Mr. Bailey of Texas, opp the bill on cunstitutional and economl grounds, concede that the question is one which will receive early attention at the hands of congress and most of them are of the opinfon that the prospects of its success are good. Some express doubt about the expediency of an effort (o pass upon a qu | tion of such importance at a thrie months' session, while others think it fs just the time to act. Mf Cooper of Florida, whose state has ever been an enthusiastic sup- porter of the canal scheme, today said that the democratic party could do nothing which would do more to restore its popularity than authorize the construction of the canal. The fact that we were defeated at the late election finstead of causing us to lie supine during the remaining days of our | power, should,” he sald, “cause us to work | with all the greater determination. The democratic party is the party which add:d the Mississippi valley and the Pacific coast to our national map and it is the party which should provide for this great enterprise. It the party will do this during the short ses sion of congress and provide for a more elastic_currency and the appomtment of fed- eral officers upon the recommendation of a majority of their constituents as shown by actual votes cast, 1 infer it will not long be out of power." Representative Livingston of Georgla en- tertains similar views in regard to similar action at the present session. He says that the next session the republicans are sure to take it up when they come into power and take all the credit. He says that it has be- come evident that outsiders want the cont:ol of the canal. Mr. Livingston says there was a tacit understanding during the last :ssion that the bill should have attention at the short session and he thinks it will, and in all probability be taken up by the house and THE_OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1894.

Miss Buchanan, the able afternoon. L. Grifith is a motorman in the employ of the street railway company, and is father of the girl in question, who is less than two years of age. Some time ago Griffith and the mother of the girl separated. The woman went to the poor farm and was an invalid there until October 24, when she died. She had resisted all efforts of her husband to get possession of their child and shortly be- fore her death gave the little one into the keeping of Mrs. Amanda St. John, who liv out on Decatur street. Mrs. St. John gave the child to a family named Horton, who were about to adopt it. Mr. Grifith married again and a few days ago went to the Hofton residence and asked to be given the child The little one was ill at the time and Grifith summoned a physician, who forbade the re- moval of the baby on account of her illness. The Hortons were ready to give the baby to its father, but Mre. St. John could not see it that way and she went at once and re- moved the baby to her own home. Mr. Grifith then filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus for the possession of the child, alleging his ability and willingness to take the child and furnish her a home. The application was granted and Mrs. St. John cited to appear hefore Judge Scott on Monday to show cause, if any exists, why sh: should not surrender the child to its father. DO NOT WANT A NEW TRIAL.

These papers that are read from time to time are work the Musical department is doing. aside from entertaining the audience by leader, has interested the department in the development of music and the use of the dif- ferent musical forms. Miss Clara Hawlay, who s fast overcoming the nervousness which formerly troubled her, illustrated Scarlatti’s music by two plano solos, & bur- lesca and pastorale, both intelligently and effectively rendered. Mr. Thomas Kelley's promised paper resolved itself into a most delightful address, reviewing and analyzing, not so much the life of Haydn, as the works of that great composer. Modestly walving all claims as a speaker Mr. Kelley showed Wednesday that he thoroughly understood bimself, his audience and his subject, three necessary qualifications of an interesting speaker. Miss Munchoft sang the recitative and aria “With Verdure Clad" from “The Creation." Miss Munchoff has a fresh soprano volce of good quality, and her rendition of this dif- cult selection reflected great credit, not oaly upon the young lady herself, but upon Mrs. Cotton, with whom she is studying. Miss Munchoft recefved such warm applause that she reappeared and charmingly sang an old English ballad “Love Was Once a Little Boy.” Mrs. Charles Morton was heard by the department for the first time in Char- ninade’s “Ritournelle,” a number well suited to her voice. She, too, received an encore, and sang a plaintive Norwegian song by Loge. Haydn's Trio No. 1 for piano, violin and violincello was delightfully rendered by Mme. Hess-Fuchs, Miss Allen and Mr. Litorsky, three performers who are great favorites with the department, and so well known to the public that it seems unnecessary to comment GENERAL MEMBERSHIP ON THE INCREASE Preparations for the State Federation Meet- ing at Lincoln in Janoary—Journeymen Makers and the Local Combine Do Not Agree.

State Federation Meeting. The officers of the Nebraska State Federa tion of Lab.r are beginning to make prepara- tions for the next meeting of the state fed- eration, which convenes at Lincoln at 2 o'clock p. m. Saturday, January 19 The meeting was ealled for Lincoln with the intention of holding a mammoth state labor meeting with accredited delegates froun all the industrial organizations of the state, which might exercise some influence with the members of the legislature toward the enactment of lab r laws htat are demanded by the working people. The constitution of the state federation provides for represent- ation from any legitimate industrial organi- zation in the state of Nebraska, which in- cludes all central labor unions, Knights of Labor aseemblies, trades unions, farmers al llances, industrial legions, citizens’ alliances. granges, etc.. each local organization being entitled to one delegate and an additional delegate for every fifty members or major fraction therecf in grod standing. Inasmuch as the legislature will then be in session and many of the farmers of the state will desire to visit the law makers it s expected that a large number will come as delegates to the state federation meeting and swell the attendance to large propor- fons. The per capita tax to the state feder- aticn has been fixed at 2 cents per quarter for the members in good standing, which can be pald to the secretary at the opening of the meeting The officers of the state federation will spend some time in pushing organization in the state before the Lincoln meeting. Any organization in the state that does not now affiliate with thie state tederation and de- sires to have delegates o the Lincoln meet- ing should at ifs next regular meeting take up the question and procced to the election of representatives and notify State Secre tary Charles Mathews of Omaha, who will enroll the new delegates preparatiry to the meeting.

The fire was diccovered by a cclored walter shortly before 6 o'clock lesuing from the shaft of a dumb waiter. He attempted to extinguish the flames with a bucket of water, but the fire had gained such headway that the water had no effect.

For a long time he lived on a farm in Tishomingo county and re- celved only a common school education, the best to be had then. He was no mere fond of Sunday school and the church than he was of leaving his play in the fields and go- ing to day school, and he was nearly 10 years of age when he first attended the country Presbyterian church with his parents cne Sunday at the conclusion of the week of prayer. Communion services were held that morning. Little John was unfamiliar with the way he should conduct himself. He says: “It was a long sermon that morning, and at the conclusion 1 was pretty well worn out and tired. The sermon was over at last, however, and the elders.of the Presby- terian church were distributing the bread and wine. Not knowing that such things were only for members of the ohurch, I partook heartily of both arti- cles, much to the trepidation of my father and’ mother. Still I did not understand for what purpore these things were done, and, boylike, 1 recelyed the piculiar impression that they were served as refreshments to be partaken of after long sermons. Thoroughly imbued with this idea, when the elder came around again 1 accosted him thus: ‘Say, elder, you haven't got a little cheese, have you? "It is only necessary to add that my parents were greatly mrtified, and it took & good month of tall talking to their friends to explain my ignorance and innocence.’ “The corridors of the capitol were oc- cupled by men and women who sold pe cakes, cigars, tobaceo, trinkets and apples, says Hon. Thomas Cavanaugh, late deputy sergeant-at-arms of the house of representa- tives. ‘“Speaker Reed sent me one morn- ing and told me’'that he wanted the corri- dors cleared of these public nuisances. I told him the people ought to have some time to get out, as they had long been in posses- slon of their niches and were dependant upon them for their livelihoods. Mr. Reed said that he belleved they should have ample time to make changes which would not leave them stranded, and suggested sixty days as sufficlent time for them to remove their stands. He thereupon ordered the corridors cleared, and directed me to carry out the order. I at once notified every individual to be affected by the order, and told tlem that no amount of influence could change the determination of the speaker. They re- Tuctantly acquiesced, all but a lady’ who kept a clgar stand. Her husband had been there for several years, and had recently died, leaving her that cigar stand near the main door of the house as her only means of sup- port. She objected, and called upon her numerous friends to protest against the or- der. They went to the speaker and pleaded: with him to make an exception in her case, but Mr. Reed sald that there must be no ex- ception. He said that if one were excepted others would demand the same exemplion through their friends Finally, several gentlemen proposed to raise a fund to buy out the cigar stand, so that the widow would lose nothing. Thereupon I made an in ventory of her goods*and found them to be worth something like $700. I gave the in- ventory to the speaker, and he called the con- gressmen who wanted to buy her out to his rom, and told them that he would head the list with a subscription of $50. ‘When they found that the total was $700 and that they would have to contribute $50 each they all declined, and that ended the objection to tho order. whose name was -Jennfe, was the most tractable of them all. She smiled her as- sent, and the others followed suit. At the conclusion of the sixty days notice all of them moved out and the capitol corridors have ever since been free from little stands | of that nature. They were an eyesore to the place and Mr. Reed deserves commenda- tion for having issued the order. There were a pumber of lady typewriters in the The keeper of the ple stand, | gon, there may be allowed with the approval of the secretary of the interior for the sur- vey of lands heavily timbered, mountainous or covered with dense growth, rates not e: ceeding $25 per lineal mile for standard and meander miles, $23 for township and $20 for section lines.” This provision was incorporated in the last bill and was accepted by the senate without oppositicn. But it appears that in engrossing the bill the provision was omitt~d and as it was signed by the presiding officer of both house and senate and the president, the bill became a law without the provision. When the surveyor general of the states came to make contracts it was found there were no surveyors who would engage to survey the lands described in the omitted provision at the regular rates. Complaints were made, and upon investigation It was found to be purely a clerical error. It fs understood that steps will be taken to have the error cor- rected in the urgency deflciency bill, which wilt pasa probably before the holiday recess, and contracts can be made for surveys to the full amount of the appropriation. PASSED TO TUE SUPREME COURT. Appeals of Havemeyer, Searles and Sey- moar Flled Yesterday. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—The demurrers to the indictments of President H. 0. Have- meyer and Secretary John F. Searles of the American Refining company and Broker Al- len Seymour for refusal to testify before the senate Sugar trust investigating committee were filed in the district supreme court today. They are based mainly on constitu- tional grounds, holding that the indictments do not show that the requests for the infor- mation or the data sought are within the jurisdiction or authority of the senate. It s claimed that the indictment of Secretary Searles is bad because it fails to show that the questions which are quoted as unan- swered were asked by the committee with its authority; and the indictments failed to show that the questions came within the authority of the senate or the senate com- mittee; that the power to punish for refusal to answer cannot be delegated to a court, nor the determination of the facts be com- mitted to a jury; that the indictments do not charge the defendant with having knowl- edge or information necessary to answer the questions or the right or authority to obtain information frcm the books of ‘the Sugar trust.. President Havemeyer asserts that his indictment does not show that the re- quest was made by the committee or with its authority. In Broker Seymour's demur- ver, It is claimed that congress has no power to make the refusal of such witnesses to testify a crime nor the right to delegate to courts the power to punish for contempt.

Pat O. Hawes was sup- posed to be counsel for one of the prisoners and the trouble growing out of the case landed Hawes in jail on a charge of con- tempt lodged by Judge Scott. The case finally went to trial, and the jury In its wigdom acquitted the accused of the charge of burglary and found them guilty of petit larceny, fixing the value of the stolen goods at $10. When the verdict was returned Judge Scott criticised the action of the jury severely and stated that the verdict was not in ac- cordance with the evidence, and that if the defense would move for a new trial the verdict would be set aside. But the de- fense was not looking for a new trial. The intimation of the court fell on heedless ears, and the attorney for the prisoners cooly an- nounced that he was ready to allow the ac- cused to take their medicine under the finding of the jury. The court had no option in the matter, and proceeded to fine the prisoners $100 each under the verdict, telling€ them that he was sure that they were guilty of bur- glary and were dangerous men in the com- munity, but he regretted that the jury had let them off £0 much lighter than they de- served. The prisoners managed to keep their faces straight while the sentence was being pro- nounced, but it was easily seen that they were the happiest men in the court house. Two Years for Steallug Hens, Madison Milburn was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary by Judge Scott yes- terday, having been convicted of burglary. The prisoner Is a cripple, and was arrest-d a year ago on the charge of robbing hen roosts, but escaped conviction by a techni- cality. He was arrested again a short time ago on the charge of having broken into a barn in the morthern part of the city and stolen a bunch of fine chickens. As the barn had been locked the charge of bu:- glary was lodged against Milburn, and the jury found him guilty with a recommendation that the court show him mercy in passing sentence, “While you are a cripple and entitled to sympathy,” said the court in passing sen- tence,” you are an all round chicken thief. No man is safe in trying to raise chickens while you are in the country. You be- longed to a gang that was making chicken stealing a business. Burglary se:ms to bs the prevailing crime In this city. It is getting so that a man can not leave his house for twenty minutes without expecting a call from your class of people. That kind of business must be stopped. The jury has recommended you to the merey of the court, and that saves you several years at Lincoln, otherwise I would give you the limit." Milburn was sent up for two years, Hetzel Keeps the Stock, After a trial lasting ten days a jury in Judge Keysor's court returned a verdict yes- terday afterncon in the case of Frank J. Hetzel confirming Mr. Hetzel's claim to the grocery steck at the cornér of Twenty-fourth and Cuming strects. The case has been a long and\ badly tangled one. In 1892 the creditors of Levi Hetzel jumped upon him and clos:d up two or three stores he was running. Rood and Leonard of Perry, Ia., bought the stock at Twenty-fourth and Cum- ing and sold it to Frank J. Hetzel. The creditors of Levi Hetzel replevined the stock, alleging fraud in the sale, The cas: was tried before Judge Scott and a verdict rendered for Hetzel. Judge Scott set the verdict aside on the facts and a new trial was ordered. The jury disagreed and the third trial of the case was completed on Friday, the jury returning a verdict yester- day for Mr. Hetzel. The amount invelyed was about $10,000. Not Keady to Pass, Attorney B. F. Morearty was in the crimi- nal court yesterday, expecting a decision on his motion for a new trial.
