A BITTER CITY FIGHT.
Omaha MunicipalRefOrmers and
A. P. A. Are Warning.
The New Chief of Police to be
Arrested.
1T WAS AN A. p. A. PLOT.
4. P. A. Relies on Sectarian
Prejudice for Success.

OMAHA, Neb., July s.-The difficulty
between the A. P. AS and the munich
pal reform element reached sensational
proportions yesterday when the de-
tails of a plot were made public by
which Martin J. White, the new chief
of police, who was employed in Chi
cago last week to reorganize Omaha's
police force, was to be arrested for i'm
personating an officer, and Mayor
Bemis and Police Commissioners
Brown and Beaver for violating the
antisPinkerton ordinance in employing
White.
The developments have created quite
political sensation in the city, and
intensified the feeling between the A.
2. A. faction and the municipal reform
element, the latter representing the
business class of Omaha. The first
intimation that an attempt was to be
made to prevent White from acting
as chief was in the shape of a rumor
that the plotters had arranged with
District Judge Scott, who is reputed
to be one of the leading spirits of the
A. P. A, to release the first persons
arrested under order of White on a
writ of habeas corpus on the alleged
ground that he had no authority to
make arrests.
It was discovered that the plan
would be ineffective. Even if Judge
Scott should grant the writs, the chief
would still file complaints, as this was
the privilege of every citizen. The
A P A. leaders finally conceived the
| idea of issuing a warrant for the ar
rest of the chief of police for impersOn-
ating an officer.
If the chief could be disposed of thus
for thirty days they expected that
through the operation of the new law,
Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers, in favor of the A. P. A, they
would be able to get a chief of police
! in sympathy with their purposes, who
would assist in making the police de-
/ partment a sectarian organization in
! which the A P A. would swing on the
| inner circle. The plot included the
| proposed arrest of Mayor Bemis and
| Police Commissioners Brown and
| Deaver on the charge of violating the
! -Pinkerton law. The papers for
ready and liable to be fled at any mo-
ment.
An immense meeting of all citizens
in favor of municipal reform was held
at the chamber of commerce last
night. They are confident the new
1 scheme of the radical A. P. As. can
only result in the further defeat OF
! the element who depend for political
success on sectarian agitation The
! Municipal league ridicules the idea
that the anti-Pinkerton law has been
violated in the employment of Mr..

officer and was chief detective for the

Texas, few weeks ago. married Miss
Anna Cobb of Fort Worth, went to
Mexico on a bridal tour and came to
Dallas about ten days ago and took a
room at Captain McCoy's. At 2 o'clock
yesterday morning two pistol shots
were heard, but nobody could locate
them.
Yesterday afternoon an examination
of the room occupied by Sanders and
wife revealed a horrible sight. The
couple lay on the bed with their faces
all swollen and black and the bodies,
the bed and the floor deluged in blood.
An examination OF the bodies dis
closed bullet hole in the right temple

Sanders left letter saying that the
cause Of the action in killing Anna and
himself was that he had discovered
that she did not love him, but loved
another man, and would bring dis
grace upon his name. He therefore
thought it best that both should die.

LOVE FOUND THE WAY.

A LOEe-strlckeR Travelling Doctor Tries
Hard to Prevent Wedding.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, July DIR.
Hunter, of Chicago, travelling doctor,
with an advertising company, drove
sixteen miles through the mud to this
city yesterday afternoon to prevent the
marriage of A. J. Bunce of Topeka and
Miss Ida Guernheart of Omaha and
created sensation which resulted in
his arrest. The young man and woman
were leading members of his company
and they came here to get married.
The doctor, who, it appears, loves the
pretty young woman, arrived at the
Huntington hotel with his silk
hat, broadcloth clothes and white
shirt all despatched with mud, just
as the ceremony was to be performed.
He entered the room where the off,
ciating judge was waiting for a. wit
ness, drew a pistol, and attempted to
shoot Bunce. The two scufded, but
the prospective groom was finally
compelled to fee for his life. The
screams of the female patrons of the
hotel attracted 500 people who, seeing
Bunce running hatless, supposed him
to be the offender and pursued him.
He was captured three blocks away in
hiding in the grain room of a grocery
store. After proper explanations he
returned to the hotel escorted by the
city marshal and the ceremony was
performed. The doctor was later
found and arrested.

A GREAT GATHERING.
Fifty Thousand Delegates at the Christian
Endeazor Convention in Boston.

Fifty Thousand Delegates at the Christian
EndeavOr Convention in Boston.
Boston. July S.-Next Tuesday there
opens in Boston the largest religious
gathering that has ever assem- bled in
America. There will be more than
so, 900 delegates present during the
festivities of the Christian Endeavor
convention July 10 to IS, representing
every state and province in North
America, and no less than seventeen
different nations. Over 200 addresses
will be delivered.
The largest auditorium in Boston
will not hold a fifth of the delegates,
so in addition to the immense Mechan-
les fair building, two mammoth tents
have been made for the convention,
and these will be pitched on Boston
common.
The convention opens with twenty
simultaneous meetings in as many of
the large churches of Boston on We'd
nesday evening. Thursday afternoon
the convention will split up into a
number of lesser meetings, the mem
bers of each denomination going off by
themselves to hold a rally. On Satur-
day the delegates will repair to Bos-
ton common, where a monster open
air good citizenship demonstrate is to
be held.
The speeches will be made from the
hill on which the soldiers monume nt
stands. On its crest will be located
the chorus of 5000 voices to lead the
singing of patriotic hymns. The in
strumental music will be on a CORES
pondingly large scale. DR.. Smith,
author of America has written an
original hymn, which he will read on
this occasion. The principal speakers
| will be Governor Greenhalge, Mayor
Edwin U. Curtis. Francis E. Clark,
D. D., founder and president of the
Christian Endeavor society; Rev. DON
aid McLauren, D. D., of Detroit and
Hon. S. B. Capen, president of the
Boston Municipal league. This will
doubtless be the largest religious dem
onstration in favor of good citizenship
that has ever been witnessed in Amer
lea Another feature of the conven-
ton will be the Fellowship meeting
on Friday night, when Christian En-
dOavor in all it's forms and in all lands
now numbers 10000 societies and
| 2, 400, 900 members
The missionary cause will occupy
the attention of the delegates on Mon
| day. The Christian Endeavorers will
assemble at the close of each morn
| ing's session and, dividing themselves
into groups of twenty or therea bouts,
SO far as possible by state lines, will
| hold services in stores, shops, factO-
ries, halls and car stations. Each
morning at $50 there will be score
/ OF sunrise PRAYER meetings.

FAIR HEIRS WANT A TEST.
A Test of the Validity of the wills Wanted
at Once.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 3-The attorneys
and trustees and heirs under the Fair
will are said to be DESTROYS of testing the
validity of the trust clause of the docu-
ment first presented for probate. 1t is
argued by the attorneys and heirs under
the Photographic will that the trust to Sc
cure the first will is illegal and much
time and money would be saved By OBJ
tanning a legal decision on this point.
If, for instance, the trust should be de-
clared void, then there would be no OBJ
lection to the document if the heirs
would not object to its probate and would
at once enter upon their patrimony. Thus
all litigation would be at an end. If. on
the other hand, the trust clauses should
be sustained, the action could be had di =
rectly on the genuineness of the will and
the contest would be clear of entangling
collateral matters.
1t is claimed that an agreement has
been practically reached that the valid
ity of the trust clauses should be tested
at once.
