OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 29.-For eighteen
centuries the Jewish people have shoul-
dered the responsibility of the crucifix-
ion of Jesus Christ, and, though theolc-
gians have from time to time attempted
to palliate the act, it has remained for
the pastor in charge Of the Jewish
church on Twelfth and Howard streets,
in this city, to trumpet forth to the
world that the awful event. supposed to
have taken place on Calvary, is all a
myth. This morning, when addressing
his congregation at the regular Sabbath
day services, Rabbi Alexander broached
this remarkable theory, and undertook
to prove, further. that it was Simon
Peter, and not the Savior. who met the
imnominious death recorded IN Holy
Writ. To say that the members of the
congregation were astonished but family
expresses their feelings. They arose
and advanced on the rabbi with such
energy that he barely saved himself by
a hurried exit through the back door.
Then his flock fell to arguing the point
among themelyes. A general fight en-
sued, and the church furniture was cir
culatng freely through the air, when an
officer entered and placed all he could
get hold of under arrest on the charge
of disturbing the peace. The rest es-

WHAT KIND OF LUCK?
A Cow That May Bring Sabin Good

LITTLE FALLS, Dec. 29.-To-day Capt
Leon Houde, police justice of this city.
purchased of J. d. Hatten, of Little
Falls, for $50, a red COW four years cid,
having three horns and five legs, the
extra horn and leg growing from pro-
tu5erance upon the shoulders. The
horn is about three inches. and the leg,
which has two joints and regular hoof.
is eighteen inches long and hangs down
the shoulder blade, this abnormal speci-
men of the genus bovine was raised upon
the farm of Hon. C. 3. Buckman, the
gallant leader of the Sabin forces
in the Fifth district. The extra honor
may possibly have lent Scripture like
inspiration to the senator's late cam
paign, while the leg will probably en-
able him to walk off with nearly all the
political honors. Senator Sabin should
be thankful that Buckman is farmer,
and that it is possible for him to raise
such a specimen of Quintuple-legged
stock. Capt. Houde declares that he
would not sell the COW cent less than
$500. The COW was led through the
streets tonight on the way to the cap
tain's farm, and created much wonder
and comment among citizens.

MURDERED AND MUTILATED.
Imitators of Jack the Ripper Do
RjOOdy Job at Bradford.

LONDON. Dec. 29.-The mutilated
body of a boy was found in an onthouse
at Bradford this morning. 1t was lee
ognized as that of John Gill, eight years
of age, who when last seen alive was
sliding on the ice with some compan-
ions. The boy had been brutallY mur-
dered. His legs and arms had been
chopped off in rough manner and tied
to his body; his ears had been cut off;
there were two stab wounds in his chest,
and his heart and entrails had been torn
out. The remains when found were
wrapped in a rough covering. The po-
lice believe. from the clumsy manner
in which the body was mutilated, that
the crime was the work of drunken
lads, whose imaginations had been in
famed by reading accounts of the
Whitechapel atrocities. 1t is supposed
the murder and butchery were COM
mitted in some other place and the re-
mains afterwards carried by the perpe-
traitors to the outhouSe in which they
were found. The crime has created the
greatest excitement at Bradford. A
milkman has been arrested on suspicion
of having committed the crime. The
murdered boy had occasionally accom-
panied him on his rounds. The prls-
oner was the first to recognize the re-
mains. Ii is certain the body was
placed in the outhouse between the
hours of 4 and this morning.
The accused milkman, whose name
is Barrett, was taken before the magis-
trate this afternoon and charged with
being the last person who saw the boy
alive. The boy when last seen was in
the prisoners company. and when he
was missed the milkman was asked If
he knew anything about his where
abouts. He denied any knowledge of
him. A bloody sack and knife fitting
the wounds in the boys chest have
been found in the prisoners lodgings.
He has been remanded for trial. The
murder has created 4 sensation equal to
that produced by the Whitechapel
butcheries. 1t appears that the lad was
in the habit of accompanying the milk
man on his morning rounds. On Thurs
day he went with him as usual, with
out having had his breakfast. Later
the milkman returned without the boy.
Mrs. Gill inquired as 10 the whereabouts
of her son, and was told that he was
coaSting with some other boys short
distance away. The milkman'S answers
to subsequent questions were very
evaSive, ana aroused suspicion of foul
play previous to the discovery of the
boys mutilated body. 1t is believed by
many that the child was murdered to
prevent the discovery of another crime,
of which he was witness.

propose to march by: ,
"In the track of REFORM" he says "are

the despair OF those who fail in the march,
But there will be neither despair nor dead

The policy the majority of the ways
and means committee propose to follow
is to reject every alluring overturd
and every deceptive compromise"
They are still full of fight. They do

Against Transportation Com

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, To-, Dec. 29.-Since the
saloons were closed in Sioux City. over
a year ago, liquor has been plentifully
supplied from Covington, Neb.. just
across the river. and to facilitate this
trade no less than twenty transporta-
ton companies were incorporated under
the laws of the state, the object, as set
forth in their articles of Incorporation,
being the transportation of goods" and
merchandise between COviDgton and
Sioux City. Each of these companies
has an office here, and they are doing a
thriving business in delivering beer in
any quantity from a bottle to barrel,
claiming all the time that the interstate
law protected them in their traffic.
Last night notices of actions for injune-
tions to restrain the companies, on the
ground that they are public nuisances,
were served by the Law and Order
league. Its attorney says the proceed
ingS will be the same as were had IN
closing saloons, and the progress of the
suits is anxlously watched by both
sides. Liquor men interviewed express
the opinion that the league has them on
the hip. and they expect to be forced
out of business. The result of these
suits will have an important bearing on
the liquor question in all border towns
of this state.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The treasury
department bas no information touch
ing the reported seizure of the stained
glass window imported for the Catholic
cathedral at Dubuque, To-, by Surveyor
Mclaughlin, of that port, and is not ad-
vised as to what theory the surveyor
bases his action upon. 1t is customary
for the secretary of the treasury to issue
orders for the free admission of works
of art or church regalia, as be is author
lied to do by statute law, and in the
present case the secretary has so far eX-
ercised his discretion as to permit the
transportation under bond of the stained
window from the port of entry to that
of delivery. Beyond this the treasury
department has not gone, and the re-
ported utterances of Surveyor Nc
Laughlin is a matter of surprise to the
treasury officials.
