MADE THINGS Frank Hownrd Collier of Chicngo Re- wins 1 £in th affer Ca Frank Tloward Collier, a well known, hough decidedly eccentric attorney of Chi- cago, has been In the eity for the pust two or three days. He injected himself into the case of Shaffer against the Manawa Rallway company yesterday morning as attorney for the plaintift, and by his queer antics brought in the first ray of sunshine that has il- luminated the gloom for a good many days. He had not been retained by Shaffer, but that made no matter. A. W. Askwith, Shaffer's attorney, s on good terms with him, and so raised 1o objection when Collier wanted to come in. Collier handed his card to Judge Thornell, telling him that if presented at any saloon in Council Bluffs or Omaha, ac- companied by a nickle, he could get a glass of beer, or 15 cents would make it a cocktail. Judgoe Thornell's well known prohibition pro- clivities, of which Collior knew nothing, were what gave a tinge of humor to the scene, One of the witnesses put upon the stand by the defense was George A, Holmes, who had been pald $25 for his legal services. After Holmes had told his story Collier took him in hand to give him a cross-examination. Holmes was compelled to admit that he was an attorney, but ol aid so after the closest questioning. He also admitted that the money was paid to him for his legal servic “Now, Mr. Holmes,” said Collier, impres- sively shaking his fist at him, “do you think you earned that fee?" ‘I do,” was Holmes’ reply “Well, we don't. Mr. Holmes, that'll do; you may get down.” In conversation, Coliler stated that he had already received $250 in the morning, and would have another $250 before night, as a retainer. He would also receive $125 a day for the time employed in the trial. In the afternoon he went out driving with James Wickham, however, and Askwith had to look after the case by himself. During the day he propesed matrimony to a young lady in the court room and was accepted. A number of years ago Collier of the brightest lawyers in Chicago.

INTERESTING, was one WORK OF THE C COUNCIL. Specinl Meeting Aceu Disposes of Much ted Business. Tho city council held a speclal meeting last evening. All the members were there, but it was too hot weather for them to take up any very exciting items of business. The petition of Augusta Davidson for a sidewalk on Benton street was granted. The claim of W. Martin for $76 for a horsa was rejected. The petition of Oficer & Pusey for exem tion of certain lands from city taxes was not granted. The clerk reported that he had been served with a notice of injunction to restrain the city from Interfering witn the right of way of the Rock Island Railway company on Seventh street. Referred. Mrs. A, Pralor was given permission to keep a saloon at 1323 Broadway. A petition was read from property owners in Bloomer street citing that two years ago the city had passed a resolution to reduce the width of the street from sixty to fitty feet and to put the street into passable condition, but had never done anything else. They wanted the city to carry out the plan as set forth in the resolution. The petition was referred to the committze on streets and alleys and city engineer. After passing an ordinance providing for new sidowalks in varlous parts of the city the council adjourned until Monday, the 16th, and then reconvened as a commitiee of the whole. Electrician Bradley stated that the gong at the Upper Broadway enigne house refused to work. Several times of late when an alarm has come in there was but one tap, instead of a series corresponding to the numter of the alarm box. Fortunately the fires were very small, but there was no telling when this laziness on the part of the bell might do some damage. He wanted a new gong pur- chased at a cost of $150.

FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, 401-403 Broadway, Council Blufts, TRIED CHEMICAL EXPERIMENTS. Efforts to Play a Practieal Joke that Might Have Been Serious. Some one whose knawledge of chemistry was rather crude tried some experiments at the High school Sunday afternoon, which, but for the lucky arrival of Janitor Peterson at 5 p. m., might have done considerable damage to the bullding and prevented the opening of school on schedule time, The perpetrators had evidently heard that nitric and sulphuric acids “burned” things, and they tried them. The janitor Is not in the habit of visiting the building Sunday afternoons, but he made an exception last Sunday. When he opened the door he smelled smoke, and on going up stairs he could not see across the assembly room, on the third floor. On looking for the cause he found a pan filled with waste and cotton, which were smouldering away at a lively rate. One or two coals had falien out of the pan and scorched portions of the floor. In several places large wet places on the floor showed where the contents of the nitric and sulphurie acid bottles had been spilled. Down below, in Principal Eastman's room, on the first floor, was found a pile of waste and cotton and an old feather duster, which had also been set on fire, All three of the fires were soon extinguisied by Peterson with a few pails of water, and no serious damage was done. The theory of the school authorities is that the work was done by some boys, who knew that by pouring acids on the floor they could make a stench which would cause an ad- journment for a_day or two, and thus prolong vacation. Mr. Eastmen does not believe that the boys intended to burn the building down.

The old law pro- vided for the drawing of a grand jury the first of each year. The new one made mate- rial changes in the manner of drawing the jurors and went Into effect with the August, 1895, term. The court held, however, that the old jury having been drawn for a year might hold over until January 1, 1896. When court convened all the prisoners objected to the jury on the ground that it was improperly drawn.” The objection was overruled and many indictments returned. Now every per- son Indicted has moved to have his indict- ment quashed on the ground that the jury had no right to return them. If overruled all will appeal to the supreme court.

Use Pozzonl's Com- piexion Powder, DAILY BEE: TULSDAY, STUDVING CHINESE RIOTS Joint Commission Gets Down to the Actual Work. DISTRICT IS NOW PERFECTLY QUIET g and Ameriean Consuls Arrive at the Scene of the Ku ¢ Atrocities and Negin Taking of Testimony. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. §.—Private letters from Shanghai just received here announc that the commission appointed by the British and American governments to investigate the Ku Cheng massacre of August 1 arrived at Foo Chow on August 13, at Sulkow two days later and at Ku Cheng on August 17, without a shadow of molestation from the barbarous hordes alleged by Chinese officials to have established a relgn of terror through the province. The commission consists of the British con- sul, Mr. R, W. Mansfield, the American con- sul, Colonel J. Courtney Hixson, the British vice consul, E. L. B. Allen, from Padoga anchorage, Licutenant Evans of the United States steamship Detrolt, Rev. W. Bannister, representing the English Church Missionary society and Dr. Gregory of the American Methodist Episcopal misslon and an escort of but 100 of the viceroy's ill-armed and poorly disciplined soldiery, a circumstance which supports but feebly the Chinese contention that the massacre was entirely beyond official prevention owing to the country being in revolt. This defenwe is regarded by British and American residents in Chinese territory us quite as farcical as the commission, un- supported as it was by any display of British or American force. Indignation runs high at the apathy of these governments in regard to the massacre. It is argued that the official defense is totally untenable, as under the Chinesa law a system of mutual responsi- bility prevails, all public officials being held personally responsible for the commission of crimes within their jurisdiction, whether they are legitimately blamable or not, and they are visited with the penalties attached in the event of their falling to apprehend and punish the criminal in person. The commission had at last advices re- ceived the statements of threa witnesses, Dr. Gregory of the American Methodist Episcopal mission at Foo-Chow, Rev. H. E. Phillips and Miss Harmon of Ku Cheng, the latter two having been eye witnesses of the fearful scencs of August 1. WATCHED THE RIOTERS. Rev. Mr. Phillips tells how he was awakened at 6 in the morning by shouting in the di- rection of the steward's house. He at first thought it was children playing, but soon recognizing the voices of excited men he dressed hastily and ‘went over. “I was met a few yards from my dwell- ing,” he said, “by a native friend who, while throwing his arms around me to detain me, told me the vegetarians had come. I shook him oft and went on and oon came in sight of the house from whence forty or fifty ban- dits were carring loads of plunder, their leader holding aloft a small red flag. I could see nothing of our Europeans, and, as I was in fuli view of the rioters I crept up a hill into the brushwood and concealed my- self behind two trees, from twenty to thirty ards from the houte. There I could see everything and not be seen. As I could see no foreigners [ concluded they had escaped, and as to go down was certain death I thought it best to walt where 1 was. “After a minute or two the retreat horn sounded and the vegetarians began to leave —first, however, setting fire to the houses. Ten minutes after this every vegetarian had gone. 1 came down and looked about the front of the house, but could see nothing of any one. I feared something dreadful had happened, as 1 heard the vegetarians as they left say: ‘Now all the foreigners are killed “I just then met one of the servants, wWho told me the Chinese were in the house in which Miss Hartford of the American mis- sion was staying. I found Mr. Hartford's daughter, Mildred, with a serious wound on one knee and another severe cut. When I washed these, I turned to Mr. Stewart's son, who was fearfully hacked and cut every- where, Then Miss Codrington sent me a mes- sage that she, too, was in the house. I found her in a fearful condition, but with cold water and rags we managed to stanch the bleeding. She begged me not fo wait as she thought Topsy Sanders was still alive. I then rushed to the back of the house and found the bodies of Miss Sanders, Miss Stew- art, Miss Gordon and Miss Marshall. The latfer was awfully cut, her head being al- most severed, but beyond the wounds given in the struggle the bodies were not mutilated. Later I found Miss H. Newcomb's body at the foot of the hill in front of the house where it had evidently been thrown. “As then I could see no signs of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Miss Sanders and Lena, the nurse, we hoped they had escaped, and I returned to the house where the Stewart children and Miss Codrington were. Pres- ently Miss Hartford arrived. She had re- ceived a cut under one ear, but had been saved from death by a native Christian. I learned later that the five women of the Zenana Mission soclety, - who lived in two houses which form the Ku Cheng sanitarium, after a futile attempt to escape, got out of the back end, but were immediately sur- rounded. Some of the vegetarians were in- clined to spare them, but were ordered by their leader to carry out their orders: ‘Kill and spare not.’ Had they been able to escape into the brushwoed there seems little doubt they may have been saved. KILLED GETTING OUT OF BED. “A great misfortune was that only two were dressed. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were killed as they sprang from bed. Lena, the nurse, died while protecting the baby, whom Kathleen managed to carry out of the house, though not before the baby's eyes had been cut out. Miss Nellle Senders was also knocked down at the nursery door when going to help the children, and as we after- ward found the remains of a burned body there we had little doubt that it was hers. For a long time we thought Mr. and Mrs, Stewart had escaped, but later I found their bodies, or rather ashes, in what had been their bedroom. “The Hua Sang people seem to have had, as a whole, no hand in the affair, though doubtless four or five vegetarian families were concerned. The natives say the vege- tarfan band came from the east road of Ku Cheng city, many from Yang Long and Adeng Bang, within thirty or forty miles of Ku_ Cheng. Miss Hartland says the whole terrible af- fair was over in thirty minutes, and that the attacking party numbered about 100, well organized, under one leader. Her terrible ex- perience she relates thus: “I heard shouts and yells on the streets, and, putting on my clothes, I rushed to the door, to be met by a man with a trident and spear, who yelled: ‘Here's a foreign woman.’ The man pointed his spear at my breast, but I twisted the weapon to one side and it Just grazed my ear and head. He then threw me to the ground, and beat me with the weoden end of the spear, but a servant :ame, wrenched the weapon away and told rie to fly. I jumped down the embankment and ran along the road. Tha servant followed and pulled me along until I got up to the side of the hill, where T lald down ‘to get breath. After resting twice, I reactied a secluded spot and lay there. . ALL WERE ENGLISH SUBJECTS, “All this time the yells went on and the two houses were burning. After a while the yells stopped and we supposed the vegetarians had gone. Then the servant went to see how maters were. He returned in half an hour, telling me to cme home, and that five women of the English mission had been killed and some of the wounded were at my house. This was a native house and was not troubled at all.”* Dr. Gregory tells how the news was first brought him by a messenger from Rev. Mr. Phillips, and how he went at once to the yamen and found hundreds of people already gathered there. “The district magistrate, Wong, told me he would immediately go to Hwa Shang,” nar- rated Dr. Gregory, “taking some sixfy sol- diers with him, and at 3 p. m. I left under an escort of thirteen soldlers and arrived at Hwa Shang at 8, to find that nine adults, all Englishe subjects, had been murdered, ‘and that all those alive at Hwa Shang had been severely injured. I at gnce set to work to make the Injured as comfortable as possible and found my task was Indeed a difficult one." After describing the extent and nature of SEPTEMBER 10, 1893. the Injurfes infileted Dr. Gregory says: “The massacre was undoubtedly committed by some members of the secret soclety known as_vegetarians and the murder was done to order, deliberately planned and executed by a party of elghty men armed with spears and swords, and showing emphatic evidences of military’ discipline. The members of the mission band had no suspielon of the attack which was swift and terrible, the whole affair being over In much less time than it takes me to write it Though Dr. Gregory does not hold the na- tive officials” responsible as being directly concerned in the massacre, he believes they had knowledge that it was contemplated, but remained inactive owing to_their dread of the vegetarians' power. For tho same reason he says that unless Great Britain and the United States assert themsclves with earnestness the affair will go no farther than an inquiry that will result in nothing more than a recital of facts already too well known and perhaps an expression of official regret—small reparation for the Christian lives destroyed There was the usual rush to the circus grounds yesterday, when Ringlihg Bros.' big show gave two performances, which were in some respects superior to any that the same proprietors have given in previous years. The show has been enlarged, and a tendency toward improvement in the character of the attractions noticeable. The hold of the show on the public is ap- parently unbroken, and the two big crowds that attended the performances yesterday expressed their approbation as heartily as though the spectacle was an innovation. The performances were preceded by a con- Liberati’s band, which was fully equal to the reputation of the leader. The ring speclalties were much the same as every first class circus ofters. and were fully equal to the best. Only one feature is worthy of especial mention a being superior to the usual run of circus performances. This was the acrobatic performence of the Eddy family, which was undoubtedly the best of its Kind ever seen in Omaha. The aerial performance of the Dacomas was es- pecially favored by the crowd, and the some- what novel entertainment furnished by Mons. Natalie's trained pigs furnished un- limited amusement. is Pain's “Vicksburg” will open again to- night after a two day's lull in the sicge, and continue for the rest of the week. New features and set pieces will be added each night, and special evenings will be given, the cnly one of which is yet decided upon being Saturday evening, which will be Grand Army of the Republic night. Owing to the length of the program on Jubilee day but a few of the directors of the State Fair association were abie to occupy the boxes set apart for them, so the man- agement will reserve the boxes for them again for Wednesday evening. Roland Reed, after an absence of two years, returns next Sunday evening and will entertain the patrons of Boyd's theater dur- ing fair week with three of his best plays, “The Politician,” “Lend Me Your Wife" and “Innocent as a Lamb.” Mr. Reed is seen to great advantage in all these plays and brings with him an admirable company, in- cluding that charming actress, Miss Isadore Rush. Mr. John Griffith, supported by a company specially selected to support him, will appear at Boyd’s theater the last three evenings of the present week in Sir Henry Irving's version of Goethe's “Faust. Those who witnessed Mr. Grifith’s performance in the character of Mephisto here last season can testify to his adaptability to essay this great roll. Mr. Grifith has had a professional rearing in the best of surroundings, of which his work at the present is the best evidence. Since the-announcement that “The Charity Ball” will be the attraction at the Creighton theater for the last three nights of this week there has been an unusual demand for seats for this occasion. It is hardly neces- sary to recount the plot from which this play is written, it being familiar to all classes of theater-goers. One epeclal feature of the performance s the care with which every detail will be looked after, and the dresses of the ladies are said to be of unusual beauty and design. Bach individual member of the company has been specially selected with a view to a perfect interpretation of the role entrusted (o his or her care. 039900523000993 SOUTH OMAHA NEWS There was a lot of lobbying before the meeting of the city council last evening. It had been resolved at the last meeting to take up the city printing matter at this meeting. This notice was the cause of all the whispered consultations held on the sidewalk and about the council chambers, Wlen the matter came to a vote the lowest bid, that of tho Drovers’ Journal, was re- Jected. Special ordinance No. 98 was read and referred to the judiclary committee, Ordit ance No. 653, providing for grading bonds in district No. 26, was read and sent to the Judiclary committee. An ordinance creating the office of city auditor and authorizing the mayor to ap- point such an officer was read. The rules were suspended and the ordinance passed. In connection with this ordinance the mayor explained that if the ordinance was passed it would not cost the city a cent. The auditor will probably be some member of the council. This action was deemed neces- sary as under the existing laws the special committee, of which the mayor is chair- man, has no authority to examine the books of any of the city officials. Mayor Johnson has not as yet announced whom he will ap- point to the position. The council will meet on September 21 and 23 as a board of equalization to hear complaints from grading district No. 26, The mayor was authorized to employ eight special policemen to do special duty during fair week. The city attorney will draft an ordinance for the placing of an electric light at Twen- tieth and Q streets. Bids for the repairs of the L and Q street viaducts will be adver- tised for by the committee on viaducts, streets and alleys, The committee on fire and water will advertise for bids for feed for the fire depart- ment horses, A committee consisting of Blanchard, Walters and Franck will walt upon the Union Pacific people and request that the railroad company pay for the light at the crossing at_Twenty-seventh and N streets, Hyland moved that the bid of the Drovers’ Journal for the city printing be accepted at the rates named in the bid and that the Drovers' Journal be declared the official paper of the city of South Omaha. The vote was: Ayes, Blanchard, Hyland and Ryan—3. Noes, Bulla, Mies, Mullaly and Franck—4. Walters was not present. Successor for Marshal MeCarty. W. C. Buel, chalrman of the Board of Trustees of the village of Bellevue, has is- sued a call for a special meeting of the board for tonight. The meeting is for the purpose of taking such action as may be deemed necessary in the matter of Vic MeCarty, who is the city marshal of Bellevue, It is understood that the trustees will declare the office of the city marshal vacant and then proceed to elect a person to fill the vacancy.
