A Loved Comrade Gone.

Charles Z. Whitney. for many years
connecten with the Times Democrat. and
lately Its city editor, expired last night
at his residence, No. 1873 Calliope street.
Who would have thought when. hardly
q year ago. Mr.. Whitney walked the
streets In his peculiarly easy, graceful
way, and with the manly bearing 50
characteristic Of him. that he would be
fatally attacked by an inexorable mals-
dy (cancer) which showed itself in that
delicate organ, the throat.
1t was In February last that the dis.
ease appeared, and Mr.. Whitney felt no
illusion as to it's gravity. With true
fortitude he bore his sufferings bravely,
and was as patient and as kindly dispo-
sed ss ever.
Charles 4. whitney was born AZ years
ago in Boston, Mass. His parents re-
moved to New Orleans when he was a
mere babe. He was Of delicate consti-
tuition In his early years and was even
threatened with consumption. Mr..
Whitney studied law in the Office Of Viii
taker, Fellows & Mills, and graduated TO-
wards the close Of the eos, from the
University Of louisiana. He then enter.
ed the Office Of the late William H. Hunt
Secretary Of the Navy. under Garfield.
He practiced law with success for some
years, and eventually drifted into jour
nalism. He was writer of wonderful
versatility anb Of unquestioned talent.
The columns Of the Picayune, Bulletin
Democrat and Times-Democrst have
borne witness to the genius Of Charles E.
Whitney, as Q wielder Of . facile and
brilliant pen.
In 1865 Mr.. Whitney married Miss
Frances E. Upton, daughter Of Mr.. R. C.
Upton, . prominent lawyer. She died
several years ago, leaving q son, Miles
Whitney. who has nearly attained his
majority.
A little less than two years ago Mr..
Whitney and Miss Louise Renaud, q
young L. q. .sianian. were we'd
ed. 1t was truly love match, and the
devotion Of the couple, each to the other,
was touching and edifying spectacle to
their friends. But, alas! they were sepa-
rated BY death scarce twelve months a.
ter their marriage; and the babe innocent
cause Of the mothers death, was taken up
by the father and tenderly nurtured.
The child still lives, we'll and hearty,
with Mrs. Whitney's sister.
And now, Mr.. Whitney has gone to
meet his beloved ones the Land Of the
Blessed. Let 1t be hoped that they are
once moro united, and that their bliss
will be eternal.
Mr.. Whitney's funeral will take place
this afternoon at 1 o'clock-N. O. City
Item, June 10th.

How Painters Fill Their Pockets.

lCOpyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.1
BRUSSELS, April 3.-GNew York Herald
~Cable-Special to the BEE. THE owners of
picture galleries and collections in America
will have need to overhaul their alleged Jan
Van Beers. AT Bruges yesterday Judgment
was given against the latter in the correc-
tional tribunal. 1t teaches a warning. It
seems'that last summer he, while at Ostend,
noticed in a shop four pictures bearing his
signature, which he pronounced counterfeit.
He brought action against the dealer. The
pictures were seized and found to
be the property of a dealer at Ant
werp, who brought forward witnesses
to prove that they were genuine. At the
trial a witness for the defendant, Eisman
Semanowski, stated that he had worked for
several years at M. Van Beers studio in
Paris, making copies of his pictures, some
times painting originals which were touched
up by Nj. Van Beers, signed by him and sold
as his own. He recognized the four pictures
IN question as his own work, touched up by
Van Beers. M. Paul De Wit, another wit
ness, stated that nine years ago an associa-
ton was formed in Paris under the direc-
ton of M. Van Beers to manufacture his
picture.
Then Van Beers was called as a witness.
ne ISSJlllGu, anu Oh CEOSS tAdHlluuJlOH du-
mitted that "He done what many of the
ancient masters had done-he finished pic
lures painted by others, and that the two
witnesses had worked for him. He had al
lowed his name to be signed on an u~nsatis-
factory picture, but that was only a joke and
ought not TO have been made public. He did
not deny that the mandatory of pictures
had existed, but he claimed that the four
pictures before the court did not come from
it,"
Then the public prosecutor said: ~ have
only allowed the trial to proceed in order to
give the plaintiff an opportunity to contra
dict the facts imputed him He has not en-
tirely done so, and the prosecution must be
abandoned" 1t was limited in court that not
only were Replicas sent to America, but that
other artists did not dlsdain on the quiet to
practice this Van Beers business.

SLOAN GOT THERE.
The South Omaha ''Citizens'" Ticket
COmpIeteIY Showed Under.

~ ~
The election passed OFF quietly in South
Omaha yesterday and the result was a com.
plcte surprise to everybody conversant with
the political workings of this city. That
Ennis, the citizens candidate for mayor,
would be defeated by Sloan, the law and
order candidate, was conceded long before
the closing of the polls, but never was it
thought that Ennis would be showed under by
such "A majority as was the result
of yesterdays voting. The supporters of
Ennis assert openly that he was sold out by
certain cliques that promised and even
pledged him their support. On the contrary,
the admirers of Sloan state that it was the
still voting by the representative element,
composed principally of business men, that
prompted his defeat. However, the law and
order element regard the outcome as being
something that could not have been other
wise without a reflection being cast upon the
sacred right of the ballot. The
total vote cast will not reach much
over 1,200, which is away below
the estimate placed by all parties. This is
accounted for by the muddy condition of the
streets. On an informal count, Sloan's ma
iority in the four wards will aggregate about
1850, while the entire vote cast for Ennis
will not reach over $50. The result in the
contest for mayor was a surprise to
of the aldermanic vote in the Fourth ward,
when Mayor Savage, the present incumbent,
received but sixteen votes out of ITO cast.
The aldermanic contest resulted in the cleo
ton of four democrats and two law and
order candidates. The former consists of
Messrs. Bayliss, F'enner, letter and McMil-
Ian; and the latter Messrs. smith and
O'Rourke. The plum attached to the office
of city clerk was carried off by Hector demo
craft over Shannon Claw and order)
by about $50 majority. For city treas
urer Geary leads off with a small
majority in the Second, Third and
Fourth wards, and should he maintain his
expected strength in the First ward, he will
be the victor. In the latter ward consider
able scratching was done aud the exact re-
suit could not be ascertained at the hour of
going To press. as regards the treasurersaaiip.
One arrest was made on the grOun.as of ire
peating." James Foley was rna, IN by Officer
Dixon, who claims 20 have seen him
deposit .as ticket but a few moments
previous 1T another precinct. The
victory OF the day is about eyenly divided be-
tween the democrats and the law and order
element.

LONDON, April 3.-[New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE.l-An evening
paper of repute, in its money article this
evening, said: "The stock market this
morning presents an atmosphere of surprise
at the business that has been done in Ameri-
cans since the closing on Saturday, necessi-
tating the American exchanges keeping open
all yesterday, when a considerable amount Of
buying was INDUCED in by the frequenters of
those institutions. This morning there was
a great deal of regret that the wrong things
had been bought, and a somewhat obvious
desire to get out of purchases. There are
many members of the stock exchange who
are prepared TO declare their belief that the
fall during the latter end of last
week in Americans is only the com
mencement of the wholesale col
lapse, and the insignificant expressions
that are leaking out from different well in
formed quarters would seem to show that
there is something behind the movements in
these shares. Cool headed men are de-
termined to keep aloof from Yankees no
no matter what tempting n form they may
assume for the moment. Since Saturdays
closing the falls seem heavy, but they are
comparatively better than they were yester-

inattention, and many of its biggest sup
p%orters, who for reasons best known to them
selves, have discontinued extensive dealings.
L immediately endeavored to discover the
reasons best known to themselves and saw
several old habitues. They were willing to
give the reasons, provided they were not
named. Two had been dealers extensively
in Americans. Enough to say, they all
named the Wizard as the recent marplot, and
the absolute growing belief in the rottenness
OF the stock exchange, spectators, and even
the railways that continued to tolerate his
disreputable dealings. Said one, Now that he
has begun to throw stones will no one break
his own glass house, This remark came
in consequence of the long cable in
the Times, reporting the Wizards re-
cent letter. Those who remember the
effect in Capel court of the Sickles-
Barlow exposure and the subsequent Wa
bash theiving, say that the new Missouri Pa
citic revelations have produced q far greater
distrust of American investments.n
To-morrow's Financial News, in abiding
to the loss of confidence and the reasons, will
say: $50 great is the distrust of this man
that the fact that he is connected with any
property is enough to depress it far below its
intrinsic value in the market" In another
part of the Financial News 1t will observe:
according to New York advices, Mr.. -
(meaning the Wizard) has been expressing
his opinion about the New York Herald.
Well, the prisoners opinion of the police
officer who catches him in the act of house
breaking is not usually of much value or i'm
portance."

THE BALL
Grounds in Good Condition for the
Opening Games.

The exhibition season of 1888 will be opened
on the home grounds next Saturday after
noon with the D%ubuques, who will also play
Sunday and Monday. The boys, Annis,
Wilson, Burns, Cooney, Messitt and Walsh,
spent yesterday at the park in practice.
They report the grounds in fair condition,
and think by next Saturday, the weather re-
naming favorable, they will be in first class
shape. This will be the initial bow of the
new Omaha team, and as the Dubuques are a
good, strong nine Il large crowd should honor
the occasion. Following the Dubuques the
st. Pauls will be the next team seen upon
the local grounds, they being booked for
games on the Nth and 18th. On the oath,
25th and 18th the Omahas play in Daven-
port, and if they get two games out of the
three they will be exceedingly fortunate, as
the Davenports will put up a strong game.
The Omahas will return home on the 9th
and on the next day %inaugurate the regular
championship season with the team from
Minneapolis.
O'Connell, Miller and Doran will arrive
to-day, and on Wednesday Lovett, Flynn,
Burdick, Cassian and Sowders will be on
hand. Thursday afternoon the boys will re-
port at the ball park at 2 o'clock for their
first practice altogether on the Omaha
grounds.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Afternoon papers pub

grand secretary of the order of railway con-

managers of various railroads. The report
is made up almost entirely of a bitter de-
nunciation of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. An extract of the report says:
should, in every instance, oppose this organi-
cation in its demands of rail
way companies, because every time you aid
the engineers you iniure your own standing,
prospects and probable increase of remuner-
alton. 1t is time for the conductors to teach
the railway officers what the engineers them
selves already well know and are anxious to
conceal, that nine-tenths of the conductors
of the United States are capable and trust
worthy engineers. To-day the engineer re-
ceives pay for the intelligence, knowledge,
skill, experience and responsibility of the

Abyssian Troops Disbanding.

LONDON, April 3.-Massowah advices say
the Ayssinian troops have d%isbanded, with
the exception of 10, 900 men who are watching
the frontier. The Abyssiniaus do not intend
to attack the Italian advance. The heat in
Massowah is intense, and the sanitary condi-
ton of the place is deplOrable. 1t will be
necessary for the greater part of the Italian
expedition TO re-embark for Europe.
