Lightning struck ana killed Patrick Ross, a.colored man, at Lincoin: park this morn- ing. He was at work l6Ading a wagon with hay when the storm came up suddenly and before he and his fellow workers could take refuge the fatal bolt came, striking a mule which was hitched to the wagon and passing from the animal to Ross, who was standing with his hand upon the bridle bit. Erneet Sexton was rendered unconscious by the same bolt but soon recovered. Cleared of Murder Cha Earnest Visel, accused of being the murd- erer of George Hollinger, was discharged @t the conclusion of his preliminary trial this afternoon. Vieel first entered a plea of guilty but his attorney substituted for this the plea of not gullty. There were many extenuating circumstances in the ct id the county attorney did not conceal his intention of discharging the case if it reached the district court. The killing was committed & week ago and was sald by eye- Witnesses to have been merely an act of @elf defense. New Corporations.

B Watson, deputy labor commissioner of the state, is in Omaha today in confer- ence with the raliroad and real estate off- clals conceérning desired amendments to the laws relating to collection of statistics. As the statutes now stand, the laws on this subject are decidedly immature and ineffec- tive. There is no punishment provided for talse returns, and not emough provision for ® varlety of statistics. Among other things suggested Is collection, in the future, of statistics relating to births and deaths in the state. Ever since the bureau of labor has been established, those at its head have suffered from the handicap of inadequate laws. The successful fight of Mr. Watson this spring to get the assessors of the & to collect and qubmit erop statistics is still fresh in the public mind. More elaborate returns are desired, together with stringent provi lons against false returns.

Information received at Burlington head- quarters Indicated a heavy downpour along the line from’ Ravenna to Pacific Junction None was reported west of Denton, however. It is belleved that in southeastern Ne- brt the rain did untold benefit to parch- ing crops that were in a threatened condi- tion. All the state house employes on duty were shocked beyond measure this morning. At about 11 o'clock, when the first rain be- gan to fall, a viclous streak of fire struck an elm tree on the east side of the capitol grounds, a few yards south of the east en- trance of the bullding. It shivered a big splinter off the north side leaving only enough standing to bear the weight of the overhanging limbs. The streak of lightning was plainly seen in every office in the state house and the electricity felt by everyone | in the bullding. Many at first thought con- celved the idea that the capitol had been struck. ] VERDICT NOT SATISFACTORY ing of Coroner's Jury in Hartung e Meets ' Disapproval of Dead M Family.

MAKE A DASH FOR LIBERTY Two Dawson Oounty Prisoners Bind the Jailer and Escape. THEIR CELLS UNLOCKED AT MEAL TIME to Overpower the Aged Succeed in LEXINGTON, Neb., Aug. 20.—(Special Telegram.)—Two prisoners escaped from the Dawson county jail last night at about 8 o'clock. Harry Koehler, awaiting trial on a charge of forgery, and John Barnish, for burglary, succeeded in gaining their liberty, for & time at least. Sheriff Lincoln belng out of town, R. 8. Haskins, the jatler, took them thei» supper and, as had been his custom, placed the food in Koehler's cell in order that they might eat together. They both ate a hearty upper, after which Haskins, who I8 & very small man, sixty-five years of age, started to return Barnish to his own cell. Just as they passed the door of Koehler's cell Haskins turned to lock the same, when he received a violent blow behind the ear, which knocked him to the floor. He was then dragged back into the cell and beaten into quietude, after which he was bound hand and foot with strips of a bed blanket, which had been already prepared for that purpose, showing that the plan had been premediated. The prisoners then left the jail, as there was no locked door to prevent their escape. From indications, they went northeast to the farm of Oscar Middlekauft, the man whose name had been forged by Koehler. Here they stole a couple of horses and a saddle and continued their way eastward to Blm Creek, where the horses have been located and at which place the men took & freight train going east. Sherift Lincoln feels confident of cap- turing the men as descriptions have been sent In every direction. When Haskins came to himself he was lylng bound in Koehler's cell. He suc- ceeded in using his manacled hands so far as to extricate a knife from his pocket and liberated his feet, but could not free his hands. He went to the store of Able & Hiser, in the next block, where Mr. Helser cut the band that held his arms. Haskins is still suffering pain from the effects of the blows he received.

TIME OF SETTLEMENT NEAR Oity Official Exprosses Opinion Some Move in Btrike is Neosssary. DENY STATEMENT OF Company Asserts That with Them Has B ol in the Most Minute De CAR BUILDERS Asreement rvea e time is near when the eitizens of Omaha must and I belleve will undert a settlement of this Union Pacific strik: said a city ofcial and active business man yesterday. “I am willing and anxious. to do anything I can to settle the differences existing between the company and its men and restore normal conditions. This course will, I believe, be adopted betore long. The strike is hurting the city and hurting the business men; it has been hurting the com- pany and hurting the strikers all along, and there is every reason why It should and could be settled. I think a mase meet- ing of citizens will be called very soon, at which the question may be fully aired and some method of procedure decided on.” It 1s admitted that the company and the strikers are equally averse to making the first concession, but the sentiment is grow- ing that either side would be willing to take the second step, and o it is “up to" some diplomatic peacemaker to get the con- tending factions together. The action of the Real Estate exchange yesterday in ap- pointing a committee to offer its services of mediation has been commended and it is thought may lead to a solution of the problem. Officials of the Unfon Pacific stated late yesterday afternoon that thus far they had not been approached by the committes of realty men. Deny Onr Men's Claim. The claim of the Union Pacific car bulld- ers who have struck that their action was due to the company's violation of an agree- ment it entered into with the car men July 7 is pronounced the merest subterfuge by officials of the company. Superintendent of Motive Power McKeen, who Is closest in touch with the situation, defends the company by emphatically denying the charge of bad falth made by the strikers, contending that the company has lived up minutely to every detall of the agreement, and that the only violation of faith hi been on the part of the car men in strik- ing after signing an agreement, through their committee, that they would accept the provisions of that compact and remain at work for the period of time specified therein. All the officlals of the Union Pacific whose positions connect them with the strike situation afirm Mr. McKeen's state- ment and hold that the oar bullders struck, not because of violations of agree- ment by the company, but through sym- pathy for the other strikers. “That of itself might have been all right,” sald an official, “but why do the men not udmit that they struck through | sympathy and not charge the company with falling to keep its contract with them? “The claim is made by the car buflders that since the adoption of this new agree- ment some of them have been materially reduced in wages, that forelgn scales have been Introduced and that foremen have practiced discriminations between certain workmen, Now our statement of the case is simply this: The company has not violated its agreement, no cuts in wages have beerd made, me discriminations have been practiced and no forelgn scales intro- duced. These are the facts In the case and merely denying them does not alter them in the least.” Exonerates Mr. Langford. Tt was suggested that the claim had been made that the cuts in wages were made by the new plecework inspector, Mr. Lang- ford, and that until his arrival the com- pany kept its agreement and the men got the wages promised them. “This is the worst sort of absurdity,” exclaimed an official. “It is positively rid- fculous and the men ought not to make such unwarranted assertions. Mr. Lang- ford has nothing whatever to do with the wages paid In the ehops; he was employed as plecework Inspector and could not if he was so disposed, make any cuts in prices of work. Those things can be done only by the superintendent of motive power and even he would not act arbitrarily in the matter. To come down to the precise question of prices having been cut, I wish to say most emphatically, that the prices for car builders in the Omaha shops where the strike occurred, are exactly what they were July 7 when the new scale was adopted. Not a price has been changed. The other day when the men were getting ready to quit Mr. Barnum overheard one of them say that certain prices had been cut. He asked the man to mame the price and the car bullder could not do it. He then asked him or any others to polnt out a single instance where wages had been re- duced or discriminations practiced and no- body could do it. TI m¢ imply had made up their minds to strike and they re- fused to listen to reason. Officials of the Union Pacific were asked regarding a statement In the Rallway Age of August 15 that the company had placed an order with the Baldwin Locomotive works for 120 new engines. Won't Dise the Statement. “We cannot say anything about the mat- ter just now,” all the information ob- tained. It was mot denied that the com- pany had placed such an order. Superin- tendent McKeen sald he was unable to give out any information regarding the elghty new engines ordered shortly after the strike began. Speaking of the company’s motive power it wae sald that seven engines are now awaiting at Cheyenne for crews, that the business being transacted by the company was 8o great in volume that it had become an ordeal to get enginemen and crews enough for the trains. John Quinn, associate editor of the West- ern Laborer, an old shopman, made & trip through the local shops or run the block- ade, as he says, Tuesday and succeeded in completing his tour of inspection before he was detected. Quinn Tells of His Visit. “I went in,” said Quinn, “dreseed as one of the men, at work (and this involved the dofing of my shirts) and everybody who saw me thought of course that I was & cab’ and consequently I was not inter- red with until I reached the machi: shops, after having been through the bofler and blacksmith shops. In the machine shops I was arrested and taken before the captain of the guards. I knew it was all off then, but I had already seen enough.
