Edward Davis Joins Robert Downing's | Company in Oouncil Bluffs. | MRS, DAVIS IN ''THE DEVIL'S AUCTION" Former Clergyman Bel De More Good by Ac “From the Pulpit forms an luteresting chapter in the career of Rev. | Edward Davis, who after preaching the gowpel for five years, forsook the ministry to become an actor and yesterday joined | Robert Downing's company in this city. | Rev. Edward Davis, when but 20 years of age was pastor of the Central Temple to the Stage,’ in Oakland, Oal, one of the largest con- gregations on the Pacific coast. He waj a strikiug figure in the pulpit and his theatrical style af preaching attracted at-| tention. He was widely advertised as “The | Poet Preacher,” “The Talmage of the West" and “The King Richard 111 of the Pulpit.” One of the leading New York papers de- | scribing the young preacher sald,: “Rev. | Edward Davis is an actor-preacher, a word | painter, a patron of the waltz, a eponsor | for ‘bean’ poker, and the most popular preacher on the Pacifiic const.’ After three years in the church, Rev. Davis decided that for him to continue to fll a pulplt would be to lie. He realized that while he belleved fn the Divine Deity, be was better fitted for the stage tban the pulpit of the church. He had reached the age when he commenced to think, and the result of this thinking showed him his unfitness for the minisiry as it existed Talking on the matter of his leaving the church for the pulpit yesterday, Mr. Davis sald “I Jeft the ministry because I fully real- ized that the sermon was entirely im- potent to the sufficient couviction of men, and 1 assuredly believed that the religlous stage producing such plays as “Faust,” “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray” and the “Quo Vadis” will produce more lasting result than a homiletic exposition of rhetoric. Three years ago 1 refused a call to one of the largest churches in Australia at & salary of $2,500, and in my determina- tion to go upon the stage, reallzing that I bad ability in that direction, went to New York, where 1 secured a position in a stock company at $10 a week. Although 1 went by my right name of Edward Davis, I have always carefully concealed my identity a8 the formec preacher. I wanted to gain recognition by my merits alone, it 1 po- sessed any, and not by any freo advertis- ing. 1 later joined Charles Coghlan's com- pany and last season was leading man in Frohman's company, playing “The Ad- venture of Lady Ursula.”” Two weeks ago 1 recelved an offer from Mr. Robert Down- ing to join his company and here I am.” When Rev. Davis quit the pulpit to be- come a Thesplan, his wite, who is a daughter of M. H. Kingore, a leading busi- ness man of Denver, decided also to go upon the stage. Today she is leading lady in “The Devil's Auction” company, appearing under her maiden name of Margaret Kingore Rev. Davis has just completed writing a play, which will be produced soon by Mr. Downing and his company. Gravel roofing. A. H. Reed, 641 Broadway. Davis sells palot. CITY COUNCIL REFUSES CHECK. Five Thousand Dollars Juvelved in Dispute with R way Company. The city council last night fially d cided to refuse to receive the check for $4,999.40 deposited by the Omaha, Council Bluffs & Suburban Railway company for the cost of the paving on South Main street between and one foot outside of the track recently laid by it on that thoroughfare. This check, which represents the amount that 18 to be refunded to the abutting prop- erty owners, who have long ago paid for this paving, has been in the hands of the city clerk since November 1 last. Up to last night the council refused to take any action regarding the check for fear of com- promising itself in reference to the dis- puted right of the motor company to lay a second track on Main stree The law provides that the cost of the paving should be deposited with the city treasurer and by him distributed to the property owners entitled to it. This the motor company desirous of doing, but City Clerk Phillips refused to part with the check unless on orders from the city coun- cll. City Treasurer True has announced that he will refuse to distribute 1 cent of the money unless on orders from the coun- cfl and this the council refuses to do. In the meantime the property owners who de- sire to get back the money which they paid out for the paving have to wait until some agreement is come to between the al- dermen and the motor company. been seen since the days of Mary Ander- . son, this being the verdict of the preas Dan Carriggs Wants His Share. {hroughput the south and cast: In “Parla| The matter was brought before the coun- n 1793, a pretty ‘renc! comedy, 4 = Powning aimiren. an oportunity o dispiag fo1.

The only satistaction he got was to be informed that the eity council had abso- . | lutely nothing to do with the check and he was referred to the company attorney. The iscussion that followed developed the fact that the motor company had asked to be returned the check, but the city clerk had declined to surrender it without orders from the council. In order to dispose of the matter so far as the wWas con- cerned Alderman Clark moved that the councll _refuse to accept the check and that it be returned by the clerk to the motor eompany. As soon as (ae matter of the check had been disposed of Alderman Brown intro- duced a motion to the effect that the motor company be notified to take up Its track on South Sixth street between Ninth and Six- teenth avenues. He withdrew the motion, however, when informed by the city so- lcitor that the Injunction restraining the company from removing its tracks on that street, secured by H. I.

' The father, they say, is willing to con- vey the farm to them, but their mother is of a different mind. They ask the court {0 have the title in the property deereed in them and their parents ordered to con- vey it to them, and in the event of their ro- fusing to do so that a commissioner bo appointed by the court with authority to make the conveyance. Ohjects to Atterney’s Absorption. The hearing before Judge Thornell of the arguments in the Oficer & Pusey bank case had to be postponed until today, as the hearing fn the suit of Spencer 8mith and others against Holloway and others occu- pled the entire of yesterday in the district court One of the witnesses for the defense in the latter while under examination yesterday, caused considerable amusement by remarking, “What {s the use of a per- #0n bringing a sult in court if the attorneys are to be allowed to absorb all the judg- ment obtained?” The suit at bar is to se- cure an accounting of the attorney fees as taxed. Both sides claim them. The “‘tax ferret” injunction suit of Shinn against the Board of County Supervisors bad been set for this morning in the dis- trict court, but as the Officer & Pusey bank case has the right of way it will bave to be postponed.

SHERCLEFF SERVED BUT SEVEN YEARS Sentenced Whick He Was Convicted a Hold One—Donbt ax to fis Tdentity and Conmection with ¢ DES MOINKS, Ia, Jan. 21.-(Special.) There was always some doubt in the minds of many persons conversant with the facte surrounding the trinl of Frank Shercleff for the Pollock diamond robbery as to his iden- tity with the robber and his relationship to the gang of thieves supposed to have profited by the theft. This doubt was what culminated in the release of Shercleff from prison after sevving about seven of the seventeen years for which he was sen tenced. Shercleff had been fully identified by the victim of the robbery, but there were evidences of doubt in the minds of many persons at the time of the trial. It was supposed he was the notorious “Kid' McCoy, or Ed Burke, well known in the western cities, but this may never be known. The crime for which Shercleff, ar he said his name was, was convicted wa that of robbing William C. Pollock, a trav eling man for a diamond house, on a traic from Omaha to Sioux City on the evening of November 4, 1882, near California Junc tion. Pollock had been showing goods in Omaha during the day and was followed tc the train by a man whom he had seen in ® Jewelry store in Omaha. When the train crossed the river at Blair the stranger approached Pollock and struck him over the head with a bag of shot. The bag burst and scattered the shot and did not do injury to Pollock to prevent him from immediately rising in his seat ce $hots Are Fired. The robber fired three shots from a re volver at Pollock, hitting him in each arm and in the br but not doing serious injury. The passengers in the car were panic stricken, and not one arose to help Pollock. In fact, the passengers did not know what was going on and were unable on such short motice to tell what they should do. The two men fought together in the car aisle up to the front end, where the robber demanded Pollock’s money. In his testimony later Pollock said he was on the point of getting his pocketbook wher the robber thrust his hand inside Pollock's vest and drew therefrom his wallet, con taining the diamond samples, valued at $15,000. Then the robber broke away, and running to the rear of the car pulled the alr brake and in the darkness jumped of into the weeds. x The robber made good his escape, &nc Pollock, who was pretty badly used up, was taken to Omaba and placed in a hospital fc treatment. In due time Pollock recovered and a reward was offered for the conviction of the robber. Pollock was unable to give a good description of him. ldentifies the Robber. Some time the next summer a man was arrested in Leadville, who was Identified by Pollock as the robber. He gave his name as Fraok Shercleff and said that his pa rents lived in Pittsburg. He was indicted in Harrison county, Towa, in September, 1893. In the meantinte a gang of safeblowers was under arrest in Terre Haute, Ind., and one of them, Frank 'Bruce, was charged with being the Pollock robber. Pollock went to Terre Haute and declared that Bruce was not the man. In spite of this an attempt was made to have Bruce indicted in Harri- son county. On the trial of Sherclefl two women swore positively that he was not the man who had committed the robbery on the train. One John Hollensworth of Lead- ville testified that he had known Sherclefy well in Montana five years before, that he saw him at Aurelia, Ia., In October, just before the Poiiock robbery, that Shercleff went from there to Leadville, and that he was in Leadville on the day the robbery was committed. This and much other sim flar testimony was discredited as an at- tempt on the part of Sherclefl's pals to get him out of trouble, He was convicted, and on September 22, 1893, was sentenced to seventeen years for the robbery. Shercleft always protested his innocence, and on being sentenced pleaded for leniency because of ill health. The dlamonds were not recovered Smallpox St 8 ding.

Irwin of Stoux City this morning fled a printed argument in the Titus amendment case with the clerk of the su- preme court, in which he contends that the supreme court fs without jurisdiction as far s declaring the amendment void s con- corned His argument is divided into three parts, viz: validity, jurlediction and interpreta- tion. Under the second head he contends that the court is without jurisdiction, in that it cannot go back of the records of the wenty-elghth general assembly, the duty f which body it was to fully investigate and determine upon the validity of the omendment as passed by the previous leg- {slature before it passed Its resolutio Mr. Irwin holds that inasmuch as the twenty-eighth general assembly approved the cts of the twenty-seventh that it had no authority for acting in the premises and that as it did approve such action of the twenty-seventh general assembly the su- preme court of lowa cannot now go back of the twenty-eighth general assembly. Under the first head of the argument Mr. Irwin_ contends that: the amendment was’ properly enrolled; that entered “on means to spread upon the records and that en- tered means less than that and, therefore, means only referred to in the record. Under the last head it fs claimed that al- though the amendment was properly n:l]nplrd that it must be translated liter- ally.

Today he brought several jars of butter to town, and the fact of sickness existing there caused an investigation, This disclosed that several members of the fam- fly were suffering from smallpox.
