The death of John M. Bulger, which oc- curred in Hitchcock county February 3, was at that time reported to have been caused by suicide while insane as the result of los- Ing money that he had deposited in the broken bank at Trenton, Neb. But when the body of the dead man was sent to hia old home in Canton, O., his friends refused to believe the sulcide story and an investiga- tlon was made by four prominent physiclans of that clty, These dociors have now made adavit golng to show that the wounds were not self-inflicted. In their afdavit the phy- siclans say: “Upon examination of the body of John M. Bulger we found contused wounds of the face and neck that had all evidence of having been made some time before death, The bul- let wound over the heart and back had all the appearance of haviug been made with a small bullet, No, 22 or Judging from the nature of the wounds, their position, relation, etc, we belleve that John M.

Polico Commissioners Knew All About the Rules of Evidence. In speaking about the instructions given to County Attorney Baldridge by Judge Scott, Commissioner - Coburn yesterday said that there was nothing in them that was not known to the majority of the members of the board. “It Is a pretty well established fact,” he said, “that the board has no power to compel witnesses to attend meetings and tes- tity except when sitting as a license board, We knew that all along. And the other fact that the members havo no right to ask for testimony given in the grand jury room was also known, although at first the majority of the board thought otherwise. After can- vassing the matfer, however, the board came to the opposite conclusion. ' I do not think that thes things will affect the investiga- tion, although at the néxt meeting it will be decided whether the investigation will be continued. Contrary to the opinion held by the ma- jority of the public the board has not started the nvestigation during the two executive essions. County Attorney Baldridge was in- vited to be present simply for the purpose of advising the board. The aiscussion was en- tirely general, and was concerning the plan or method of the proposed investigation. All that has been done abont the investigation itselt was public and consisted of the two resolutions Introduced by Commissioners Smith and Strickler.” Commissioner Hartman said that the board was aware of the fact that it had not the power to compel the attendance of witnesses except as a license board and that the grand Jurors had not the right to disclose testimony of witnesses who were in the jury room, al- though it was at first thought it had. *We will probably decide next Monday night what will be done,”” he sald. “If an investigation is to be held it will be public, for an ac- cused police officer will be given' the right of a publlo hearing, although in the past we have dizmissed men without giving reason The board has that power. Arrested on Another Charge. John Collins was yesterday - acquitted of the charge of having obtained 85 cents worth of goods from Druggist Lanyon under false pretenses. He entered Lanyon's drug store on the night of March 3 and purchased 85 cents worth of quinine and whisky. In payment he presented a check for the amount and signed it 1. 1. Jackson, claiming to be the Jackson who owned a livery stable on Twenty-elghth and Harney streets, Prose- cutor Shoemaker falled to prove that Collins' name was not Jackson and did not have an interest in the livery stable. Collins was discharged, although no defense was made to the charge that the check was worthless, Collins was immediately rearrested on the charge of forgery. R Coutd Not Prove the Tharge. Charles Madison was tried yesterday on tho charge of expressing without a licens Ho had been arrested at the instance of Li- cense Inspector Hurst. Madison claimed that he was hauling for a friend and had not charged anything for doing the work. Hurst claimed that Madison told him that he would move some goods for him at the rate of 75 cents per load, but as he could not prove that Madison had received any- thing for the load he was moving at the time of his arrest, he was discharged. —— Prof. Gould Goes to Chicago.

Prices are down to bed rock on the Wood & Co.'s shoes. Thousands of people evidently thought so, from the ovation they gave us yvesterday. It was a contlnuous stream of buyers from early morning till late at night, and there was no urging needed. Many bought as high as a half dozen pairs, because they realized that this is an opportunity that will in all likeli- hood never come again, when a fine stock of shoes, recognized by ail shoe wearers as ab- solutely the finest stock of shoes ever sold by anybody, could be had for almost the asking. People were astonished at the real value; shoes that t' ey knew Wood got wo an1 thres times as much for were placed before them without a murmur at in finitesimal prices. We will be in better shape tomorrow; we will know just where to lay our hands on a bargain you came for and more help will be secured to wait upon you.

The quarterly court-martial convened at Fort Omaha yesterday. ~There was noth- ing before the court, however, of any public interest, outside of the ordinary cases of enlisted men. From other departments it is observed that large numbers of men are being dishonorably ~discharged by courts- martial: for offenses which formerly meant service in the military prisons. This 1s construed by army people that officers sitting on courts-martial will not administer pun- ishment by sentencing men to the post guardhouses and fill up these places with undesirable characters. It is the result of the policy adopted by the War department— the abandonment of the military prison. Many. of the officers of this department think that In course of time this indiscriminate discharge from the service will induce breaches of discipline for the sole purpose of securing a release from the army and will have a most demoralizing influence on the service. Among the late army orders is one trans- ferring George J. Newman of Company G, Seventeenth infantry, to Company C, Eigh- teenth infantry. The senate's resolution makes it a misde- meanor for any person, but to whom it has been awarded, to wear the medal of honor, authorized by the acts of July 12, 1862. The penalty is $100 fine. Lieutenant Colonel Merritt Barbour has been officially notified of his tramsfer to Chicago. In speaking of his promotion yesterday the colonel said he would leave Omaha with exceeding regret. While it means a notch nearer the top, his friends here are many, and his attachment for them is strong. He further sald that in all of his experience as an officer of the army he had never known such delightful quarters as those in The Bee building. et VERDICT FOR THE FULL AMOUNT. ury Lyons Recovers Damages from a Rall- Wiy Company. The jury in the case of Mary Lyons against the Missouri Pacific Railway com- pany for $5,000 damages on account of the death of her husband while in the employ of that company yesterday brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, finding for the full amount asked. In 1893 George Lyons was employed as a switchman In the Missouri Pacific yards in this city. On June 11 of that year a box car was sent flying through the yards with- out anyone attending to the brakes. It was supposed by the foreman of the crew that it would stop when it had reached its destination at the other end of the yards. George Lyons saw the car coming, and fear- ing that it would collide with a switch en- gine standing on the same track, ran to warn the engineer. That run cost Lyons his life, Before he could get out of the way the car knocked him down and fatally mangled him. He left a wife and three small children in almost destitute circum- stances, The court room during the progress of the trial was crowded with rallroad em- ployes, interested in the outcome of the case. Over forty switchmen, engineers and yardmen testified on both sides, FOUND THE CREW American Barkentine Sends rovisions to Suffering British Suilors.

Recelver Bicrbower on the Bills of the Water Works Compan. The action of the American Water Works company in presenting the back bills for water consumed in the city hall and in the library building is eausing a good deal of comment among city officials and others. This is regarded by some as the beginning of a policy of retaliation for the refusal of the council to allow the bills of the water works company for hydrant rental, on the ground of insuffictent fire protection. This idea is emphaticdlly ‘denied by Receiver Bierbower and Superintendent Hunt of the water company. Mr. Bierbower said yesterday that there was 1o ‘animus i his action beyond the interpretation of the !duty of the receivers In their relations ‘to the business that had been entrusted to their hands by the courts. Long before the present suit of the com- pany against the citywas begun, they had considered whether they could consistently furnish free water to these buildings, which they wére mot bound to do by ‘the contract. The question had: beenssubmitted to their at- torney, and he had .decided that, there could be no question: but. that’ the city was bound to pay ‘these bills. At that itime he had instructed his subordinates to see how much water was used in the city hall, and if the amount was not excessive, he had mno in- tention of presenting any bill. But later on it was represented that a vast amount of this free water was being wasted, and they had concluded to send in the bills, which was done. In this connedtion it cropped out that Mr. Hunt had handed a bill to Councilman Specht some time last year, but that the Sixth ward statesman had for some reason neglected to turn it over to the council. In regard to the reported curtailment of the improvements which ‘had been contemplated during the coming season, Mr. Bierbower said that the company would undoubtedly be compelled to abandon some of the work that had been proposed. This was not a measure of retaliation against the city, however, but a plain business proposition. The refusal of the city to pay its bills for the past year had de- prived the company of $85,000, which it had expected to be able to devote to these im- provements. For this reason he had can- celled the order that-had been given for the material for the new twenty-four inch main to connect the Florence main with the Wal- nut Hill reservoir. The construction of this main_represented an outlay of nearly $60,- 000, and it was not to be thought of under the' present conditions, With regard to the down town Improve- ments, Mr. Bierbower said that such of them as were considered necessary would be carried out. A new twelve-inch main would be put In,on Sherman avenue next month to replace tho present four-inch pipe. In the business district, such mains as were too small to glve an adequate supply would be reinforced, but the reinforcement as recommended by the recent investigating committee would not be carricd out. Engineers had decided that many of them were wholly unnecessary, as in the case of the Douglas street main, which was considered amply sufficlent for ail pres- ent purposes, The bills for the water that has been used in the city hall since its occupation were presented to the council at the meeting of January 29 and referred to the finance com- mittee, in whose hands they still remain, The document consists of four separate bills as follows: From June 4, 1892 to December 17, 1892, §115,89; from December 17, 1892 to Décember 16, 1893, $304.37; from December 16, 1893 to December 17, 1504, $1,138.92; from Décember 17, 1894 to January 17, 1895, $94.04, Total, $1, Chairman Taylor of the finance committee said that the members of the committee have as yet been unable o reach these bills on account of the large amount of work which they have had on hand, but that they will recelve attention at an early date. It had always been his understanding that the city was not supposed to pay for its water, and he would make a thorough investigation before he made any recommendation. If the water company proposed 10 retaliate on the city, the council would undoubtedly have something to say. There was Bo.question but that the council had authority: to regulate the rates to be charged by the company, and so far as the matter of improvimg the fire service was concerned, there could.de but little doubt that in the light of the findings of the investi- gating committee the eity would find means {o see that (he interests of the city were pro- tected. e Tudicted for IndMbng Hoys to Crime.

A Short History of One of Omaha Basiness Houses, Twenty-four years ago C. H. Frederick opened his hat store. Since that day to this the establishment has been the leading hat store of Omaha and it has always kept the best hats and caps manufactured in the country. Its success was caused by Keeping the best goods, fair dealing and being prac- tical hatters, know the value of the goods they offer, and can conform and shape all hats to fit the head comfortable. In addition to their fine Dunlap and Stetson's hats they now have opened a lower priced line of hats suitable to the present hard times.

COLUMBUS, March 9.—The Ohio Nationat Guard Military commission appointed by Gov- ernor MeKinley to inquire into the shooting of certain citizens at Washington Court House by Ohlo troops under command of Colonel Alonzo B. Coit while defending a negro pris oner from being lynched, sustained Coit, Governor McKinley has endorsed the report. The governor, in his endorsement of the finding of the court of inquiry, says: ‘“The crime which was the pretext for the unlaw- ful assemblage and the riotous conduct which followed was revolting in the extreme, and merited, as it received, the condemnation of law. The crime, horrible as it was, was, however, no justification for the acts of lawlessness and violence which were per- mitted by those who, in passion, sought to add to one crime still another, and whose plain duty as citizens was to preserve, not to_break “the peace of the country.” Tho governor then outlines the affair at Washington Court House October 17. The prisoner was being taken from the jail to the court room to enter a plea of guilty when the mob interfered. Having reached the court room with the prisoner, and he having been sentenced to twenty years, the full extent of the law, the officers of the county and the militia’ remained there, be- sieged by the mob, until the shooting fol- lowed, on account of an attempt of the mob to break into the building. “The unlawful emblage,” says the governor, ‘neither heeded the warnings of the officers nor of the citizens, which were repeatedly given,” nder this grave provocation,” continues the governor, “Colonel Coit and his command benaved with rare prudence and forbear- ance."” It is further stated by the governor that thd troops were present at the request of the sheriff, and that it was clearly the duty of the sheriff and troops to protect the pris oner. “The law,” says the governor, “was up- held, as I believe it always will be in Ohio, but in this case at fearful cost. “‘Lynching, says the governor, ‘“‘cannot be tolerated In Ohfo. The law of the state must be supreme over all, and the agents of the law, acting within the law, must be sustained.” The endorsement closed with a strong testimonial to the prudence and judgment of Colonel Coit and h to the SLAPPED THE Anna Gould's Husband Was Once Chastised for Insulthig a Woman, CHICAGO, March 9.—It was the hand of Trilby, the “1492” Trilby, now at the Colum bia theater in this city, that smote the face of Count de Castellane and caused his noble blood to surge all over his outraged counte. nance. Trilby says she slapped him, and slapped him good and hard. Trilby, to be exact, Is Miss Gertrude Corey, and she posey as Trilby in a living picture in ‘“1492." “Iv was not on account of myself, but of my chum, Ninette Burduins, that I struck him,” said Miss Corey. “She was always a delicate girl, and somehow I fell into the habit of defending her at all times.” Miss Corey here stopped to explain that her friend, Miss Burduins, is now at her home in Albany, where she is sald to be dying of consumption. Continuing she said: ‘“‘He made an offensive remark to her, and it occurred in my rooms. I asked him to repeat, saying I thought I did not quite understand him. He repeated it, and I, well, I have a quick temper,” she said, as if in extenuation, “‘and quick as a flash I slapped him on his left cheek, His face flushed scarlet, and he said, shutting his teeth very tight: ‘If you were a man I would kill you." Play 1 am a man if you like,’ I said, but so long as you admit that I am not & man you must take for granted that I am a lady. These are my rooms. If the people ‘nere do not suit you, there is the door.’ What the count said was really not so bad, but I really think I took offense because he was a count. You know we do not care for that sort of thing here, We may be Bohemians, we don't claim to be anything, but we are Americans and we are independent. After I struck him,” she continued, coming back to her sub- Jject, “he began looking for his hat, and as he went out of the door Ninette threw after him a big bunch of pink and white roses, three dozen of them, which he had sent up in the afternoon. We had had a little dinner party, as we often do after the theater. But the dinner was over, and the trouble was because the count thought %hie ought to have all the attention, I suppose because he was a count, and my friend did not care for him, and turned her back to talk to one of the other gentlemen. After it occurred, the men who were with him, an attorney and two Englishmen, stayed and tried to chat a little with us, as If nothing had happened. Then they left,” she concluded. e COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, Routine Business Transacted at the Meeting The meeting of the county commissioners yesterday afternoon was for the most part devoted to routine business, A petition was recelved assoclates of the Mission Savior, requesting that a pointed at the county jall.
