Both Parties Fined.

In the police court yesterday morning H.
c. Park, who endeavored to conceal his
identity by giving the name OF II. c. Curtis,
was arraigned upon the charge OF disturbing
the peace, Mrs. Maroney, the woman who
smashed him over the head with the hard
end of her umbrella. was also arraigned on
the same charge. Each was fined SIS. 20,
but the sentence OF the woman was sus-
pended provided she would leave the city
and return at once 10 her home in Fairfield
la. This she was perfectly willing TO do,
but stated that she was without means. A
proposition was made to raise the money
necessary 10 pay for her ticket by subscrip-
tion. II was a popular suggestion and
enough was raised in a few minute 10 pay
for her ticket and get her dinner and sup
per. She was detained al the city building
until time for the evening train on the Bur
lingtOn and was then taken in a carriage
10 the railway station and put aboard the
train. Park settled his fine and was re-
leased.
Mr.. Park called at The Bee once last
night and made a statement Of his side OF
the case. He says the woman has tried to
blackmail him on several occasions; that at
one time, in Burlington, la, he did give
her money in order 10 prevent just such a
scene as the one enacted here. Since then
she has persistently followed him, and has
given him no end Of trouble. He denies
ever having lived with her. and says his
great mistake was in not prosecuting her
instead Of trying TO get rid OF her quietly.
Since she came TO Omaha, he says, he has
twice given her money to go home on, and
both times she spent IL. He came with
her to Council Bluns for the purpose OF
buying her a ticket to Fairfield. as he did
not feel like trusting her with the cash.
While talking in front OF the hotel she hit
him with the parssol and he ran. as he did
not want to be mixed up in the affair he
knew would follow. When arrested he was
advised 10 plead guilty.

Association Meets for the Purpose OF
Promoting City Affairs.
After the meeting of the council last
evening the Business Mems association held
a brief session in the council chamber. AL
though the association has an active mem
bership of sixty-nine. a long and tedious de-
lay occurred while waiting for the appear
ance Of enough MEMBERS TO constitute a
quorum. The first order OF business was
the admission of new members, and Alder
man Shubert and D. J. O'Donohue were ad-
mitted.
The committee appointed to confer with
the railway managers in regard to encourag-
ing summer excursions to Council BLUFFS
asked for more time before making its re-
port. The resolution presented at the pre-
vious meeting changing the bylaws for the
purpose of permitting ten members instead
Of fifteen to constitute a quorum, was
adopted.
The association took up the fight against
the removal Of the office OF United States
Marshal Bradley. The following resolution
was adopted: That the Business Mems
association regrets to hear OF the proposed
change of removing the office of United
States Marshal Bradley from our city. and
that We use every honorable means to pre-
vent such removal; that the secretary be
instructed to communicate with Hon. A. l..
Hager, congressman from this district, and
ask him to use his influence with the at
! torney general and urge him to have the
order for such change rescinded."
A committee was appointed to circulate a
petition to be sent to Congressman Hager
to strengthen the appeal of the association.
The question of circulating the trade pa
per printed by the association brought out
some discussion and the fact that the news
paper that had printed the journal had con-
tracted TO circulate $500 Of the whole edi-
ton OF 5000. leaving but 500 for the use
of the member
In furtherance Of the plans of associa-
ton to assist in preventing the removal Of
Marshal Bradley's office 1t was agreed to
appoint a special committee to communicate
with the mayors, prominent lawyers and
judges of all principal cities in the western
part Of the district, asking their co-opera-
ton. The committee consisted OF ]. f. Hol-
lenbeck, John Gilbert and J.. c. DeHaven.

BISHOP rHoBuRN sCoLDs.


Cleveland, MAY A-Bishop Thoburn
took occasion in the sermon which he de-
livered at the armory today, to lecture
the delegates 10 the Methodist confer
ence for their indifference regarding
missions. Some day." he said, I'VE shall
all stand before the Great White Throne
and we shall be asked why. when we were
in Cleveland for four weeks, we did not
do something for the mission cause The
only answer We can make will be that we
were SO busy with previous questions
questions OF privilege, points OF order and
laying things on the table. that we could
not attend to missions
The bishop said that he had come to
this country from the missionary field of
India expecting something TO be done
and If the Methodist church would only
act. the other Protestant denominations
woull follow. IL might b. possible. with
proper effort to save one million souls
year in India. but even at that rate, II
would take two hundred years TO Chris
tisnize the country.
Bishop Thoburn's sermon has given
rise to talk TO the effect that a motion
will be made tomorrow 10 reconsider the
vote by which it was decided TO elect no
mere bishops. in order that an assistant
for Bishop Thoburn may be chosen. The
bishop said tonight that he did not care
so much for an assistant Since the hard
times began. the money supply OF the
missions has Salien of TO such an extent
that II VIII be necessary TO send home
from India one Of the six missionaries
now there. Bishop Thoburn has been
quoted as saying tina; he would resign II
the conference did not afford him help.
He denies that. He Gays. however. that
II financial support rs not provided by the
conference. he win remain in this country
and eadeavor TO raise the money needed
by personal effort.
