THE ENGLISH ELECTION.
Seventy Precincts Yet to Vote-The Re-
suit Still in Doubt.

LONDON, December 6. The latest re-
turns show that 313 Liberals, 243 Tories
and 20 Parnellites. have been elected.
Seventy constituencies are yet unpolled. OF
these twenty-five are English, one is Welsh,
four are Scotch and seventeen are Irish. A
careful estimate of the probable results in
the unpolled districts by the News Associa-
ton shows that the House OF Commons
will almost certainly be composed OF 331
Liberals, 255 Conservatives and 81
Parnellites.
The political situation tonight is one OF
perlexity to all parties. The Liberals close
the week with tie with the Tories and the
Parnellites combined. There are, however,
enough constituencies yet to vote to make
the whole issue one OF absolute untertain-
ty. The liberals have elected 313 candid
ates, the Conservatives 243 and the Par
nellites TO- While Gladstone has therefore
20 majority over the Tories, they and the
House Rulers tie him.

The matter may possibly be adjusted
when the incorporators see the necessity Of
making it Public Exchange, letting the
original subscribers into the enterprise on
an equible basis, with the right to control
and vote the interest they have subscribed.
As it stands at present, thirty-five men
have subscribed $50 each to furnish the
hall and pay for the banquet, and yet have
no voice in it's management. One indignant
gentleman offered to sell his privilege this
morning for $40. Another on being asked

began. Superintendent Law arrived in the
city from Pittsburg to-day and the strikers
laid their grievances before him at noon.
No action, however was taken. Several
attempts were made to send out trains
but they were frustrated by the strikers. A
stock train consisting of thirty.f cars of live
stock arrived from the west this morning and
was stopped by the strikers, who would not al
low it to move until permission was granted
bp their committee to transfer the train to the
Wabash road, which was done end the train

minor officials of the company, with

CINE and ran it to Grand Rapids junction, a
mile from the city, where two trains were
stopped yesterday by the strikers who still
stand out, and attempted to re couple the
trains. Notwithstanding that the police were
present, the body of strikers followed upon
another shifting engine which they had cap
tured, and upon arrival at the junction
coupled the two shifting engines together,
compelled the officials to dismount and after
securing the links and pens carried out by the
officials, brought both engineers back to the
city, leaving the officials to walk back.
No violence was used upon either side and no
arrests were made. The outcome of the
strike cannot be predicted; the strikers appear
quiet and orderly, but as deter mined as yes

PAT FoRD'S ADVICE.
The Advice Of n Councilman Given
to n Discharged Policeman.

Tuesday the city council, to a man,
with the exception Of Pat Ford, voted to
diacharge Tom Rusne from the police
force because Of his assault upon Officer
Buckley q few days since. AT the time
of the investigation before the committee
on police Ford tried in every way to
shield Ruane, and give to his eide of the
case o plausible light. In this he was
unsuccessful, and last night when the
matter was brought before the council
that body decided to dismiss Ruane and
retain Buckley.
This nettled Ford greatly, and when
they were leaving the council chamber
Ford and Ruane went down the stairs
arm in arm and City Marshal Cummings
was close behind them. The marshal
could not but hear the conversation
which passed between them, and Ford in
the course of his remarks told
Ruane that eff hs (Ruane) was
half tbs man that he (Ford)
took him to be, he would knock HI out
of these fellows" ut the same time apply
ing a name to them which il is not proper
to place in type.
Marshal Cummings followed Forddown
upon the street and asked him if he meant
him Cummings)when he use dthat expires.
sion2 Ford said no, but that he referred
to Maurice Sullivan, the police captain.
This Is the kind Of advice which Is
given by o member of the city council
and also q member of the committee on
police, to an officer who had been dis
missed from duty because of q great breach
of discipline, If Ruane takes Ford's
advice some fun is likely to follow, as
Maurice Sullivan Is not man to be fooled
with to any great extent.

A QUESTION OF POSSESSION.
Curious Developments In the Lennon
Kincafd Case.

Yesterday in the county court the re-
plevln suit of William Kincaid vs.. Judge
Gustav Beneke and William O'Connor,
was tried. The evidence and arguments
on both sides were finished, and Judge
| McCulloch took the case under sdviss-
ment. He will render his decision to.
day.
The circumstances of this case, which
has been pending 30 long in the local
courts that it has became notable, are
rather peculiar.
During the latter part Of June, 1884,
William Kincaid, a railroad contractor,
came to Omaha, having in his possession
some $500. For some days he was
engaged in spreeing. AT length, on
June ~, he met John Lennon, who was
at that time living in a small house on
Tenth street, and who was q carpenter by
profession. 1t seems that Lennon In
some way became cognizant of the fact
that Kincaid had plenty of money. Be
that as 1t may, certain 1t Is that Ktncaid,
at Lemons request, spent the night OF
the 9th in the Tenth street hovel; and
that, furthermore, he was In q highly In
toxicaued condition when he retired.
When he awoke the next morning, he
discovered that his money was missing
He Immediately asked Lennon about the
matter, and that individual, 1t is alleged,
replied that he had taken the money for
safe keeping, wishing to prevent him
(Kincaid) from squandering the whole
sum. On the Goth of June, Kin
caid swors out a complaint sgainst Len
non charging him with grand larceny.
The officers upon entering Lemons
house found him asleep, and examining
the premises, discovered a curious comb
nation of circumstances. A trunk be-
longing to Lennon had been cut open, Q
section of the cover having been cut out,
aud the piece placed in the bottom Of
the trunk. This circumstance, o.
course, would have given colol
to Lemons statement, had h,
said that he hal placed the money In thu
trunk for safe keeping, and thai 1t had
bsfn stolen by some enc. Under tn
bed, also, was discovered a pocket book,
different FROM Kincaid's stolen purse, bu
containing money which Kincaid identi
fed and claimed as belonging to him.
Lennon died in Jail on the third day 0
July. The money was taken possession
of by Judge Beneke, who has since he'll
it as the property of The dead man, Len
non. The SAM was claimed b
KincAid, who avers that he was robbie
while asleep, by Lennon; --and Is ais
claimed by the relatives ana aiministrs
tor Of the dead man, wLo affirm wit
Omaha daily bee., 1885-01-15

Equal rtoutness that Lennon had re
ceived the money from a Gale of property
in Bloomington, Ills. In evidence of this
certain express packages were produced
With various sums marked on them, in
which it was claimed that the money had
been sent. Upon careful examination OF
these packages, however, it has been dis
covered thai they had been tempered
with, end that certain erasures and add
tions had been made, which fact, of
courre, destroys their valuo 30 far as
proof is concerned.
The case is a curious one, and will
doubtless 60 through further htages OF
litigation before It Is settled.
