OMAHA, Neb., July 3.-Five badly
frightened individuals occupying
murderers' cells at the police sta
tlon, a residence resembling in many
respects slaughter house. and the
unaccountable absence of John Sell
Jan, are the features of a peculiarly
mysterious tragedy which is engag-
ing all the Omaha police and detec-
tlves tonight. Seljan is the supposed
victim, while Mr. and Mrs. Mate
M1kan, Anton RuckovitZ. John Uban
and John Drubnitz are the prisoners.
Robbery is the presumed object OF
the crime, but the feature most con-
fuSlng TO the police is the unex-
plained absence of the corpse. No
lou Pierce street, a boarding house,
is the scene of the crime A hasty
examination of the bedroom in
which slept the man supposed to
nave been murdered showed signs
Of bloody conflict A great pool
OF blood was located near the head
OF the bed, and the bed clothes were
saturated in several places with

wall and floor were stained in sew
eral places with blood. A razor, a
pocket knife and an iron crowbar
about two and one-half feet long
were found in the bedroom, which

weapons in the struggle.
DISCOVERY OF THE CRIME.
The strange demeanor of the in
mates of the house was such as to
prompt the detectives to place them
under arrest. Several of the per-
sons had blood on their clothes. All
concerned are Poles. On Monday
the missing man secured 81, GOO from
the old country. To obtain this
money the crime, it is thought. was
committed. The police are of the
opinion that, after the murder was
committed, the clothes of the mur-
dered man, which were found on the
river bank, were placed there for
the purpose of leaving the impress
sion that the man had committed
~ III wv L1llS- lie
diate discovery of the clothes and the
early appearance of the police at
the cottage prevented the murderers
from carrying out the further ar.
rangement of removing the tell-tale
clotS of blood, blood stains and the
bloody bed clothes. The body, it is
believed, was removed some time
during the night, judging from the
fresh wheel tracks directly in front
of the house, which indicate that a
wagon was backed up to the side
walk. The condition of the blood
on the floor indicates the killing
could not have been done much later
than midnight The fact that Sel<
JAMS clothing and suspenders were
soaked with blood is taken to indi-
cate that he was killed soon after
he returned home last night, and af-
ter he had undressed.

it has not yet been returned, al

ed suggestions. Under the head patriotism
and Pensions, he says: "Those men who en-
listed eaIly and fought the battles of the war
were not moved by mercenary considerations,
and unless actually disabled, did not show
the haste in applying for pensions manifested
by those who enlisted near the close Of the
war for large bounties and did little actual
service, and who are now the noisest in clam
oring for more pensions. AS compared with
the latter class, the real soldiers of the war
have been modest in preferring claims for
pensions"
The commissioner Gays that many disreputa
BILE and incompetent men are engaged as pen
sion attorneys, and suggests that none but re-
putabIo members of the bar be allowed TO
practice in pension cases.

reporters who wrote them up for some
of the evening and morning papers OF

these enterprising journals had cuts
prepared in advance of the lynching OF
the boy in this city, which they imagin-
ed was inevitable. The dreams about
Sheriff Palmer (who has no jurisdiction
in Alexandria) arming men with Win

is this city never was more quiet than
during the past forty-eight hours,
as all newspaper men were aware
while making their rounds. 1t
was especially so in the neighbor-
hood of the jail. Inside the building
one attendant was on duty and not the
slightest arrangement was made to re-

violence was apprehended, nor is there
the remotest probability of such a
thing.

THE RUMoRED acknowledgment
tendent of Motive Power r. d. Wade,
of the Southern Railway system, in al.
interview in Washington yesterday
with p representative of the Richmond
Dispatch said that it was the purpose of
the company to build extensive shops
at Alexandria, but he laughed at the
periodical rumor of the removal of the
shops at Manchester to Alexandra.
This, be said, was absolutely absurd, as
the plant in Manchester was valuable
TO the company, on account OF its COM
plete organic ltiop. high state of eff
ciencV, and central location. He ad-
mitted the purchase of the land along
the Midland tracks near Alexandra
and the purpose of the company to
build, but he said they could not afford
to abandon the shops in Manchester, as
this would put them to untold and I'M
Necessary expense in the transportation
of engines and rolliDg-stock needing re-
pairs from Richmond and West Point all
the way round Danville, and then
over the Midland road to the
shops at Alexandria. This would
be distance of nearly 500 miles
over their own road, and it is only 100
miles from Richmond to Alexandra by
Ghe Richmond, Fredericksburg and Pa
tomac Railroad, over which the South
ern road Railway had no control, and
perhaps never would have. 1t was
preposterous, then, to think of aban-
doning the shops at Manchester, which
were now SO well equipped ami
SO conveniently located. | sug-
gested that the Southern company
had shops already and now in active
operation in Alexandria, and Superin-
tendent Wade said that was fact, but
that the enlargement of the system has
so Increased its demands that the pres
en5 chops were utterly incapable OF
performing the work required to be
done at Alexandria Hence it was
necessary to build new shops, and it
was the purpose of the company t.
proceed with their erection as soon as
all the necessary arrangements could
be made. A full set of railroad build
ings, including machine, car and other
shops, round houses, SC, would be
substantially built, and we'll equipped,
aud they would have all the work they
could do without interfering with the
work of the shops at Manchester.
