Mr. Wachtler went after them and when he returned home, not understand- ing the directions, he mixed them together. | Mrs, Wachtler discovered the mistake after | two doses had been given the child and told her husband about it. He uppeared to be much worried over it and said that the girl would surcly die, and that if she did he would die too. He went to the physiclan, who told him that nothing serious would résult, but Wachtler still persisted in the belief that the child would die and expressed the fear | that the police would arrest him for murder.

For some time past the congregation has been confronted with what secmed to be a burdensome debt, and, in fact, the rumor has been freely circulated in some quarters that the church eould not keep up under the burden. From the reports of those in charge of the finances, it would appear that the congregation had raised in the past year nearly $5,200, almost $100 a week, or an average of nearly $30 a member for the 184 members. This, puts matters in such shapc that the people feel greatly encouraged, and, in fact, are enthusiastic over the outlook. A committee of nine was appointed to take fn hand the securing of a pastor. Three trustees were elected, Messrs. G. S. Benewa, B. Boyd.and W. A. Bowman. The three lawyers of the congregation, J. H. McCul loch, William Baird and G. F. Gilmore, were appointed a committee to revise the charter in_order that some of the women might hold the position of trustee. R. A. Finley was elected treasurer and A. G.

Dr. Marshall's Interes Lecture at the Castellar Church, Notwithstanding the storm Wednesday evening a large audience greeted Rev. Thomas Marshall, D.D., fleld eecretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, who is at present in the city delivering a course of lectures to the students of the Omaha Theclogical seminary, in the Castellar Street Presbyterian church. Rev. J. M. Wilson, D.D., pastor of the church, presided. Rev. W. W. Harsha, D. D., had a seat on the platform. After a short song service, prayer and scripture reading by the pastor and Dr. Harsha, Dr. Marshall was introduced. He poke of the Chinese wall, saying that he had walked two miles on the top of the same. He referred to his visit to Aden, a coal- ing station. The loading was done by the na- tives, who used baskets suspended on a pole and carried by two men. American engineers were slow to believe that men could do this, but when told how they did it they believe the statement. He referred to happenings around Cairo early in the present century, about eighty years ago. Three little girls sat at their father's feet in England one day, when he read to them the story about finding the rosetta stone. Before then the language of Egypt waa not known; nobody could read it. It looked like hooks, birds and varlous ani- mals. The language was written on great monuments and coffin lids, the coflins contain- ing their mummies. The rosetta stone was the color of ordinary slate and was covered with inscriptions, written in three languages. It attracted a great deal of attention. Two of the inscriptions were altke and could be read. It was supposed that the third lan- guage was the same, though they found hiero- glyphics repeated. Dr. Marsball spoke of the massacre of Ar- menians in 1860 by the Mohammedans. There were 11,000 men_ killed, 20,000 children left orphaned and 4,000 women widowed. The work of the British Syrian Mission was tonched upon, and then that of Mrs Henry Smith, who took up the work of her sister at Beirut. He deseribed climbing the pyramids, where blocks of stone were piled upon blocks of stone, each so high that one could not get his knees upon the top. e Beindorff Gets the Contract. Charles F. Biendorft has been sclected by the execulive committees of the Driving Park association and State Fair assoclation to plan and superintend the erection of the necessary buildings to occupy the grounds of the state fair at West Side. Rather than have different styles of architecture scattered over the grounds, the committees having this matter in hand decided upon a perfect ensemble and Mr. Biendorff has been selected to erect the buildings within the amount of $100,000 set apart for the structures and the It is intended to make the Art building as near fireproof as pos- sible, in view of the nature of the exhibit anticipated, not only throughout the fair, but at other times during the year.

Justico Edgerton Meing Sued on an' Old Score—Other Cases. 1f Justice of the Peace Charles W. Edger- ton does not sympathize with litigants who appear before him in their tribulations it is not because he has not had a large experi- ence himself in their positions. The late grand jury indicted him for em- bezzlement, and he is now under bonds to answer the charge. Yesterday the trial of a civil sult was begun against him before a jury in Judge Hopewell's court. This is the third trial of the case, which was twice decided in his favor, but was remanded for another trial by the supreme court. On December 22, 1886, Olive H. Helm commenced a_ replevin suit against John D. Thomas, in the court of Louls Berka, who was then a justice of the peace. Edgerton was a constable then. Olive Helm filed a bond, which Thomas clalms to have been worthless, and Edgerton delivered the goods to her. A change of venue was taken in the case from Justice Berka to Justice Lee Hel- sley, who decided In favor of Thomas. By this time the goods had disappeared. The victorious defendant afterward found that the bond might just as well have gone with them for all the good it was to him. He bethought him then of the constable, and commenced suit for $105. In this amount he includes the value of a cooking stove which Edgerton took possession of but which did not belong to the case in any way. He says fn his complaint that Edgerton con- verted it to his own use, and refuses to glve it up. the witnesses who testified against him, Judge Scott ordered the county attorney to draw up an information against Woolridge, charging him with contempt of court, at the same time ordering the clerk to issue a cita- tion for ‘him to appear before the court and show cause why he should not be punished.

City Blectrician Schurig Is preparing a new electrical ordinance, which makes some im- portant additions to the regulations that now govern electrical construction in this city. Under the old ordinance, public in- terests in the inside wiring and other In- terior construction fs fairly well protected, but no particular rules are laid down to govern the construction of outside lines. These will be supplied by the new ordinance, which will be submitted to the council at an carly date. The quality of poles and the manner fin which they must be set Is covered In detail, and it is provided that all poles must be ex- amined by the electrician and approved be- fore they are set along the streets. No two lines can be constructed on the same side of the street, and no two lines for the same general purpose will be allowed on the same street. Another section provides that all poles end wires must be plainly marked at the points of attachment with the name of the corpora- tion to which they belong, so that when in- spection is desired the electriclan can tell at a glance the character of the circuits. Each company that has lines laid along any of the streets of the city must also submit a report at least once a year, in which shall be indicated the location and condition of all the poles and wires, and for what pur- poses they are used. Preparations are also belng completed in this department for a more satisfactory test of lighting circuits than has previously been attained. The great difficulty with the photo- meter tests has been that of muking accurate readings in the open alr, where the wind and other influences have often materially affected the volume of lght. There Is & dark room connected with the office of the electrician fn the city hall, and this Is being transformed into a sort of laboratory, where all tests will be made hereafter. Wires have been laid In there from all the electric light- ing clrcuits of the city, and two sides of the room will be occupied by the various in- struments used in measuring and testing electric currents. One side Is occupled by & rack, on which arc and incandescent lamps may’ be hung and connected with the clr- cuifs for testing purposes. The photometer may be located In the middle of the room and as all drafts and outside lights may be excluded, perfect readings may be taken This method will also be utilized in testing various sorts of carbons and other attach ments, to determine whether the varlous companles are providing the best. If electro cution was to come Into use In Nebraska all that Mr. Schurig would need would be a chair to be the possessor of a first cuting plant. he current that comes into the laboratory over these various lines would be sufficient to perform all the ofices of the exccutloner, and could be regulated to any degree of power by the converters, S Report Wus “remature, The statement published in a contemporary that James Babbitt, foreman of the late grand Jury, had fled an information with Justice of (he Peace Bartlett, charging a rural editor with eriminal Jibel, was pre- mature.

For several days past the time of a jury in Judge Ferguson's ccurt has been taken up with the case of T. Bancroft, Sons & Co. of Orange, Tex., against Charles M. Dietz of this city for $1,683.41. The plaintiffs claim that on December 19, 1881, they sold to Simpson, Perkins & Co. of Dallas, Tex., ten car loads of lumber and on Febriary 8, 1892, the latter firm shipped nine car loads of this lot to Dietz, valued at $1,083.41, and afterward transferred thelr account agalnst Dietz to the Bancroft firm, which commenced this action. Dietz alleges that when the lumber ar- rived it was found to be entirely different in size and measurement from what he had ordered, and was worth several hundred dol- lars less than the plaintifts claim, and that furthermore, by not recelving the kind of goods ordered, he was damaged in a greater amount than the original price of the lum- ber, and, therefore, owes Bancroft, Sons & Co. nothing whatever. Another allegation which he makes is that Simpson, Perkins & Co. sold the account against him to the Merchants National bank of Dallas, which made a demand on him for payment and which had never given him notice of its having withdrawn its elaim, He therefore wants the case dismissed.

While but few cases of real distress and suffering have found their way into public notice recently, one was discovered yes- terday that was sufficiently distressing to command attention. It came to the notice of the city authorities through the health department, to which it was reported. Dr. Towne visited tlie house, which is situated on wenty-eighth avenue, ‘not far from IFar- nam sireet. It is occupied by a family named Anderson, consisting of the father, a grown- up son and a l6-year-old daughter. The latter is dwarfed and bent from a curvature of the spine, and suffering from a severe attack of pneumonia, When the physician arrived he found her lying on a bed in a small room and suffering greatly, There was no fire and scarcely enough bed clothing to afford any protection from the frosty air which crept in through the cracks and openings. The girl lay shivering and suffering, apparently, without care or attention from any one. There was a fire in one room, at the other side of the house, and there father and son were sitting, A powerful play is “The Girl I Left Be- lind Me,” which comes to Boyd's March 19, 20 and It originally produced at the Bmpire theater, New York, where it ran &« year and a half.
