OMAHA. Neb., Nov. ga special
meeting of the city council tonight wound
up In = big row, in which three council
men severely pounded each other. The
spectators present had to separate them.
There has been bad blood for some time
between Councilman Specht, Moriarity
and Blumer on account of the charges of
boodIing.
After some words Blumer grasped
Specht by the throat and the latter re-
taliated with II sledge hammer like blow,
which drew blood from Burners mouth.
The men grappled and fell, when Morisr-
ity rushed up and began kicking Specht.
One of the spectators objected to his
kicking a man when he was down, aud
when Moriarity did not desist the OBJ
jector laid the ~belhgerent kicker low with
a blow which cut an ugly cash in Mortar
ity's chin. By this time the other coun-
cilmen and spectators rushed in and sep
arated the men and the meeting adjourned.

InduIged In a Whipping Contest.


LEBANON, Conn. Nov. 2s.-Spencer's
grocery store was the scene of one of the
most unique contests on record the other
evening. Last week two Young men who
have plenty OF sand" were bantering
each other on their grit, when one called
the other to a whipping contest" The
challenge was accepted, and the men met
each other at Spencer's, Each carried a
long whalebone whip, and at the word
each began to ply the elastic gads about
each others body. Both men faced the
music with great courage, The cruel
blows fell thick and fast, and the swish of
the whips as they cut through the air and
the snap of the little lash as it struck had
a cruel sound. and could be heard across
the street. Never since the whipping
post has been abolished did two men ever
receive such a fogging, aud, had not by
ISLANDERS irterferred, blood would have
been drawn, as each was warming up to
the contest, and each blow seemed to be
more vigorous than the one preceding it.
They vehemently protested against inter
ference. insisting that it did not hurt "a
little bit, bat those who witnessed the
contest doubted the statement, and took
the whips away. The next day both men
were terribly distressed aud carried black
and blue welts across his body and legs.

ZINC GRAND OLA MAN Tnlks.

LONDON. Nov. 2S.-Gladstone was
today a participant in the exercises at
tending the formal opening OF the hall
at Port Sunlight. near Birkenhead. He
made an address of considerable length,
devoting much attention to reviewing
Salisbury's argument in his Birmingham
speech, and declared that Salisbury
seemed ignorant Of what was going on in
the British empire. Salisbury had called
the home rule capsuled medicine.
Doubtless he was an authority on
physic, as be had had TO take several
nasty doses in recent years. like that at
the Motion election. Salisbury had talked
of the coming massacres and cruelty in
Ireland il the home rule bill passed. The
premier was like a silly nurse maid who,
when unable to pacify the child by ra
tional means, tried to brighten it with
stories of hobgoblins. let the people
dismiss such imaginations. They must
he patient till Lord Salisbury gave them
an opportunity of deciding the question.
Then they would nee such bubbles
blown into the air and a reign of Justice
and good sense restored In politics. Two
reasons for placing home rule in the van

land aud the necessity of clearing the
road for other legislation. Speaking on
the labor question, Gladstone said the
problem could be solved only by sound
civil, secular and Christian feeling. and a
respect for mutual rights.
The profit sharing was attractive, but
there was the question as to what to dc
when there was a loss instead OF a profit
Strikes were only adapted to what he
might call a rude state industry. Much
might be hoped from the cooperative DIS
tribution and production towards the so
luton of the problem, because this
would give the laborer the same posi-
ton and feeling as the capitalist. In an
eloquent perorstion. Gladstone appealed
to his hearers to give the workers besides
an increase Of wages and a de-
crease of hours. a sense of
common feeling with their en-
ployers to establish a brotherhood of
man and man; to look to heart and
conscience as well as to appetite and
ambition for the solution OF these difficult
ties. and above all to look to the Provi-
dence that shapes our ends and r~ecollect
these sacred words: Behold how good
and pleasant a thing it is for bretheren to

The Standiford Bank Failure
Growing Worse.
NOTHING HEARD OF THE BANKRUPT

Believed Now to Have Got Away with
100000 The Reports That Money
Was Lost on the Board of Trade Dis
credited-Friends and Others MuIcted
with Great Impartiality-Reward Of
fered for the Capture of the Fugitives.
CHRIsMAN, Ills, Oct 3-This little
town is still in a furor of excitement over
the absconding of the Standiford brothers,
bankers. Nothing else is talked about
1t is now thought the brothers are ahead
all the way from $3.50 600 to 800, The
county will offer reward of $500 for the
arrest of the brothers, and to this the
losers by the bank failure will add like
amount if they can scrape together that
sum from their depleted exchequers. This
will be for the arrest of the brothers. They
do not ask for arrest and conviction.
They will see to the latter if the hands Of
the law can be laid upon the late bankers.
Were Not at All Partial.
The Standifords treated friend and foe
alike in their fleeing game They spared
neither the rich or the poor, the old or
young. and among the victims are the
rich farmer, hard working tenant, school
1t is severe blow to Chrisman, and it
will be years before the town will recover
from it. In July last the west side of the
square was swept by fire and the work
of rebuilding has been going on for sever
al weeks. The major part of the insur-
ance money in the burned property wIs
placed in the Standifords' bank, and now
that it is gone the work on the buildin ps
will be stopped.
Very Much Misplaced Confidence.
The Standifords stood high in the COM
munity and the greatest confidence was
placed in them and their business ability
The sixteen years they have been engaged
in business here gave them an extensive
acquaintance with the prosperous farm
ers for miles around, and enabled them to
reap harvest. The people here do not
believe the bankers lost anything by spec
ulation on the Chicago board of trade, but
think they have left the country with not
less than $4,000, and possible twice that
amount.
Lost Nothing on the Board.
B. F. Waldruff says that he and Standi-
ford had been dealing upon the board of
trade for about two years. Standiford
first came to him and suggested that
Waldruff allow him to use his name and
that he would do the trading and furnish
the money Standiford did not want to
use his own name as it would hurt his
standing Waldruff was not to lose q
cent but was to get half the profits. Ac-
cording to the statements sent there by
the commission merchants at Chicago he
is confident that Standiford did not lose
cent, but, on the contrary, he must be
from $4,000 to Si5, 900 ahead

Chicago Detectives Hunting for the
Chrisman, Ills, Financier.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3--The present address
of exBanker A. B. Standiford, of Chris
man, Ills, is what the detectives, the peo-
pie of Chrisman, Chicago board Of trade
firms and many others all along the line
from st. Louis to Chicago would like to
know. 1t is claimed that Standiford and
his brother, who together ran private
bank at Chrisman, have absconded after
losing $4,000 of their depositors' money
in grain speculation. 1t just a week
ago that the Standifords disappeared.
The Safe Probab ly Empty.
While Chicago is being raked over to
find the Standifords, special grand jury
at Chrisman is prying into the secrets of
the failure, and crack safe operators are
trying to get into the big vault, which is
feared to be empty. The Standifords have
a brother in the president of the ILterna
ttonal Press association, at All Dearborn
street, Chicago. 1t is claimed that the
bankers have about S25, 900 stock in that
association. This fact brought an agent
of Bibo & Co., bankers at Paris Ills,
here to attempt to save a portion of the
S2S, 600 of which they were bled by the
Standifords.
Seems q Real "skin Game"
The board of trade houses with whom
| the defunct bankers did business include
Logan & Co, Lamson Bros, Hibbard &
Co., Schwartz Mccormick. and possibly
others. These different firms tired of
| their methods because they forwarded or
ders for alleged depositors without send
| ing on the cash for margins. They did
not catch anybody mapping at this end of
the line but the howl from deuositors ut
Chrisman, Paris and elsewhere grows
| louder each day as it appears more evil
dent that the bankers were in a real skin
game.

very good quality and broken to proper

Since the siding was put in on Rail

stone has been received from the crusher
at Blue Ridge, all of which has been re-
lected as being too large. Assistant
Engineer Houston informed TIMES

Some mac?dam was laid on Robertson
