CIVIL STRIFE At OMAHA
There Are Now Two Rival
Boards to Control the
Police.
Central Station Doors Barred and
the Old Regime Remains In
Power.

OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 2.-The situation
respecting the police muddle is critical to-
night, yet there is little likelihood of open
violence on the part of either party to the
controversy. The State appointing board
met at Lincoln to-day and appointed A. C.
Foster, w. J. Broatch and Paul Vandevort
to be police commissioners for the next
four years.
The City Council at 4:30 O'Clock met in
special session to approve the bonds of the
new commissioners and install them in
office. Judge Hopewell of the District
Court, sitting at Tekemah, wired a restrain
ing order forbidding the council to approve
the bonds of the new appointees. and the
order was served on the councilmen as
they took their seats in the court The
order, however, was utterly disregarded
and the council proceeded to the business
it had in hand. 1t is the purpose of the
Mayor and the old board of commissioners
to secure the arrest of every councilman
who by his vote violates the order of the
court, and the Sheriff will proceed at once
to arrest them.
The new commission did not demand
that the Police Department be turned over

due the peaceful condition of the city to-
night. One of the new members said to-
night that no decisive action would be
taken until the commission could meet
and determine upon a plan. Thus the
matter stands.
Omaha has two Police Commissions, one
acting under the old law and the other
under the new. The old commission has
control of the police force and will resist
any attempt to dislodge them. The offices
in the City Hall are under strong guard,
the central patrol alarm station is barred
and bolted and a strong detachment of
officers is held at the central police station
for any emergency. One hundred special
policemen were sworn in this evening in
support of the regular force in order that
any attempt to get control of the depart
ment may be successfully resisted.
The new police board met tonight and
elected W. J. Broatch president and Paul
Vandervoort secretary. 1t issued an order
requiring the Police and Fire departments
to recognize it as the legal board, but took
no other steps. Judge Hopewell arrived
here tonight from Tekemah and issued an
injunction and the case will come up in
the District Court before him tomorrow at
10 o'clock. Very likely the new board and
council will pay no attention to it. The
City Hall is heavily guarded tonight, but
no one seems to want to modest it.

CLEVELAND, ONO, Aug. q There
were four events on the card for to-day
grand circuit meeting. One was post
poned race from yesterday. 1t was the
last regular day of the most successful
meeting in the history of Glenville track,
and the horses were called at 1890 o'clock,
an hour earlier than usual, in an effort to
finish the programme.
In the 2:17 trot and the 2:10 pace the
heats were so split up and there were so
many accidents-such as thrown shoes,
etc.-that but one event was finished.
Beuzetta won the 2:13 trot in straight
heats. She was an even money favorite
against the field in the auctions, and those
of the talent who burned up their money
on Robert yesterday got the ashes back
on the speedy little chestnut mare.
The unfinished races and the 2:15 trot
will be run off tomorrow. The attendance
to-day was about 1000.
Postponed race, 2:17 class, trotting;
purse $1,000.

wealthy cattle-dealer, and her three chill

oscar Hellman, who had been in the
army, was his clerk. 1t became rumored
that the clerks relations with his employ
er's wife were not what they should be,
and this reaching Heinz's ears he told the
clerk he would not be needed after the end
of the year. The clerk, talking to barber
a few days before last Christmas, asked
about strong poisons, and in a few days
purchased arsenic from a druggist, in a
neighboring town. The cattle-dealer be-
came Ill December 8, 1894. His wife was
seen to give him some kind of white
powder, mixed in water. She told her doc
tor, whom she called in, that her husband
had fallen on his head and was never well
thereafter. The man died on the last day
of the year.
he had been poisoned. His body was ex-
humed ON January Is, and before the
autopsy the widow and Heilman disap-
peared. They met in Breslau, and sailed
from Bremen together IN the Wittekind.
Arriving here with the woman's five-year-
old child, they went to live on One Hun
dred and Eighth street, where they were
located by United States Marshal Bern
hard, after the German officials had cabled
to their representatives here, but before he
could arrest them they had disappeared,
and were found some time later in Phila-
delphia, where they were arrested and
brought here. After short explanation
the Commissioner adjourned the case until
2 o'clock on Monday, when he will proba-
bly, make known his decision.

THEY RELY ON WHISKY.
One Plan Is to Tax All Papers
Used for Commercial
Purposes.
NO RAISE ON THE BEER RATES.
But Last of All Expenses Can Be
Met by Using Borrowed"
Money.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2-The
question of raising sufficient revenue is
still demanding the attention of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury. 1t is
understood that there is a decided re-
luctance on the part of both the President
and Secretary to resort TO an additional
tax on beer, and it is not probable that
either party will take up that proposition
in Congress.
The recommendation of the President, it
is believed, will be that tax be put on
domestic wines offered for sale, upon pro-
prietary medicines and cosmetics, and
upon notes, checks, drafts, mortgages and
all sorts of papers used in financial tran
sactions. 1t is calculated that this would
add about SIC, 100000 year to the revenue,
and it is hoped that the income from
whisky will grow, so as to make this
amount of new revenue sufficient.
About the only reliance of the treasury
for an increase of the revenue without leg
islation is in whisky. 1t is calculated that
this fall there will be heavy Withdrawals
from bond, and that from about Septem-
Der there will continue to be heavy with
drawals. If the most sanguine h0pes
SuOulu US TetllZ6u IQS increase WOulQ De
about SIG, 100000. The Withdrawals during
the past year were about Sc, 600, 600 short of
normal, and the increased rate OF tax
would add about $10,O00000 at normal
withdrawal for consumption. The in
crease may not come anywhere near this
amount. It is maximum estimate. Yet
it is about all there is in sight. or even in
the range of speculation. to give hope of
substantial reduction of the deficiency of
about $42,000,000. There appears very lit
tie prospect of anything being accom-
plished through legislation. About the
only thing that can be relied upon is "sur-
plus" cash, which represents part of the
new bonded debt. 1t is calculated that
this surplus" of borrowed money is sufi-
cient to meet any deficiency likely to oc-
cur in the receipts for two years, and that
at the present rate it would take that long
to completely bankrupt the treasury. So
that if there is no legislative relief the
treasury can get along for while on bor-
roWed money,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2.-Infor-
nation received from Mrs. Waller, the wife
of the ex.Consul to Madagascar, who is
now lying in French military prison near
Marseilles, states that she is indebted To
Mr.. Woodford, an American gentleman
formerly employed as civil engineer in
the Transvaal but now residing at Tama-
tave, for her escape from the island. Mr..
Woodford furnished Mrs Waller funds
sufficient to bring herself and four children
from Antananarivo, the capital, to Vatra-
mandi, on the coast, a distance of 300
miles, thence to the island of Mauritius.
Mrs. Waller is now at Port Louis, Mau-
ritius, without penny. Her husbands
attorney, Cammand Kennedy of this city,
has notified Governor Morrill, of Kansas of
the facts, and it is believed that sufficient
money will be raised in that State to bring
Mrs. Waller and family to America. Mr.
Kennedy authorizes the statement that
any funds which it may be desirable to
contribute to the support of Walters fam
lily may be sent to the State Department at
Washington, when they will be promptly
forwarded to her

WEALTHY MEN CONVICTED.
The Taylor Brothers Must An
sWer for Killing the
MeekS.
Terrible Crime Committed by a
Banker and Farmer to Silence
Two Witnesses.

CARROLLTON, Mo-, Aug. 2.-After be-
ing out two hours and half to-day the
jury in the Meeks murder case brought in
verdict Of guilty against William and
George Taylor. The verdict finds them
guilty of murder in the first degree.
The crowd began to applaud vigorously
and William Taylor half rose in his seat
with look of terror in his eyes. The
Judge and Sheriff raped for order but
the crowd appIauded and the Judge, rising
on the bench, shouted to the Sheriff to ar
rest any man that applauded. Then be-
gan a rush for the doors, and dozens of
men ran to the telegraph office to send dis
patches to the people of Browning and
Milan. The crowds gathered in the court
house square and on the streets and dis
cussed the verdict. But one ballot was
taken by the jury.
William Taylor is banker at Browning,
Linn County, Mo-, and his brother George
is farmer near Browning. Both are mar
ried and wealthy. The crime for which
they stand convicted was the murder of
Gus Meeks, his wife and two children, in
May, 1894. Meeks had shortly before the
tragedy been released from the peniten-
ttiary, and was an important witness for
the State in the prosecution Of the Taylor
brothers for an alleged fraudulent cattle
transaction. On the night of the murders
Meeks and his family were taken in a
wagon by the two Taylors from their home
on the pretext of sending them from the
country. The next morning the half
burned bodies of Meeks his wife and two
of their children were found in straw
stack on George Taylor's farm. Little
Nellie Meeks, aged 8, survived her injuries
and gave the alarm. The Taylor brothers
fled, but were captured.

Cause of the WithdratcaJ of Tast ISssnus o.
Gold,

Gold.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2-Treas-
ury officials were surprised this afternoon
when informed that a demand had been
made on the sub-treasury at New York for
a considerable sum of gold for export.
The amount exceeds two millions and
opens up another gap which the Morgan
Belmont bond syndicate may feel called
upon to fill. One million was called for
by the Bank of Montreal and upward of a
million and quarter by coffee importing
houses. This withdrawal does not appear
in the statement issued to-day, as the
treasury has not been officially advised of
the transaction. According to the official
figures issued at o'clock this afternoon
the reserve stands at Si07 ,11S, ,251, loss
since yesterday OF Sis, ,251.
Acting Secretary Curtis SAYS the with
drawal indicates nothing more than de-
sire on the part of American importers to
pay their debts as they fall due, the export
of gold at this season being occasioned by
the liquidation of foreign accounts. The
information came to Acting Secretary Cur
lis by long-distance telephone. The ship
ping of gold to the Montreal Bank is not
the Secretary says, an unusual occurrence.
The bank has large credits in New York
and this call for gold is, he thinks, on ac-
count of a demand for settlement. Mr..
Curtis scouts at the idea of any attempted
run on the treasury gold.

there was no concealment OF the TACT that
the proposed club will owe its organization
to desire on the part of many prominent
gentlemen to perpetuate and dignity horse
racing.
The idea to inject a social element into
turf features is a development OF the re-
cent formation of the Westchester Racing
Association. which holds its inaugural
meet August 10, and which will renew the
popular stakes made famous at jerome
Park and continued at Morris Park.
Under its charter the Jockey Club cannot
indulge in racing, but the. Westchester
ASSOCIATION and the proposed new cluD mas
the full sanction of the organization.
Unless the club can be formed among
wealthy turf enthusiasts, the future OF
racing in this section is considered ex-
ceedingly dubious. The statutes which
prevents all revenue from the bookmakers
make the continuance of the sport almost
impossible, unless the interest OF society
people of wealth can be aroused and the
support of the track assured by them IN
much the same manner that the opera is
maintained annually in the city.
Among the well-known gentlemen who
may be expected to indorse the project are
these: James r. Keene, Gideon E. Knapp,
August Belmont, J. Otto Donner, j. ].

SPRINGVIEW, NEBB., Aug. 2.-J. M.

others started for the Sioux reservation
last evening for the purpose of recovering
100 steers. The steers were let out for the
season by the Reliance Trust Company of
Sioux City, Iowa, to a squawman, who, it is
said, has gotten away with the last one of
them. Some of this same outfit of squaw-
men were among the parties who captured

who stole Amspoker's cattle some time ago.
This bunch of cattle is worth about $5000
