SPAIN WITHOUT A FRIEND.

The Spanish Government has earnestly
hoped within the last week that some Of
the European Powers, and more likely
Austria or France, would take the initia-
tive. without waiting TO consult the de-
sircs OF this government This hope
has proved vain, however, and It is stated
to-day, on high authority, that recent ne
EQUATIONS in Europe have disclosed posi-
lively that while the sympathy Of some
OF the Continental Powers was toward
Spain, no one OF them stood ready to
espouse her cause. by mediation or by
arms.
ARMY AND NAVY SECRECY
The greatest secrecy prevails in many
OF the bureaus Of the War and Navy De-
partments IN regard to the various pro-
Jects of defence and naval movements
now going on. and the officials in many
cases positively refuse to make public
steps that have been determined upon.
The most notable instance of this kind
probably, is IN the Navy Department
where Captain Crowninshield. of the Bu-
reau Of Navigation. has issued an order
forbidding subordinates TO make public
any information, except on permission
from himself.

/ SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. |

About week ago John Hurley, alias RED
Muzzle," we'll known character here, was
showing off with a giant fire cracker when
the thing exploded and blew the end Of one
of his fingers off. DR.. Furay dressed the
wound and Red Muzzle went to work to
drown his sorrow at the loss of his digit
by imbibing freely OF red liquor. A day
or two after the accident Hurley was sent
to the county hospital and his supply OF
liquor was shut off. The other night when
the thermometer was lowering around zero
Hurley awakened DR.. Furay to tell him how
he had been treated at the hospital. He
said that the attendant put him in a room
full Of snakes and it was only by hard work
that he had managed to jump out OF a win
dow and get away from the reptiles. Hur-
ley had walked from the county hospital
to South Omaha without any underwear OF
shoes. and besides having a bad case OF
tremens his feet and hands were quite
badly frosted. The doctor gave the un
fortunate man something to drive away the
snakes and then hunted UP a place where
he would be cared for. Hurley had TORI
the bandages from his hand and the wount
is in bad shape from being exposed to the
freezing atmosphere.

SUIT FOR DENVER BANK STOCK
Judge Munger Listens to the Details
QG Deal In EluanCe.

Judge Munger Listens to the Details
of n Deal In Finance.
In that section Of the United States court
presided over by Judge Munger a jury Is
considering the issues involved in the case
Of John W. Schofield receiver of the Union
National bank Of Denver, against Edgar NJ
Morsman, wherein suit Is brought to recover
on stock that Morsman originally owned in
the bank.
Prior to 1894 the Union National bank was
one Of the financial institutions of the noun
tain city. 1t was capitalized for 81 900 900,
Morsman being a stockholder to the extent of
$4,000. During the close times of 1894 the
bank became pressed for money, and, in
order to straighten out its affairs, the Treas
ury department allowed 1t to wipe out $780,
600 of bad debts by reducing the capital
stock this amount. This was done and the
stockholders turned in their old stock and
received a new issue in just har Of the
amount. Instead of Morsman taking his
new stock in his own name, he had 1t issued
to his 15-year-old son, Frank, who at the
time was in school. Later on the bank
became insolvent and a receiver was ap-
pointed. Among other acts the receiver
sued on the stock, making Edgar NJ. Mors-
man, the original owner, defendant. alleging
that the transfer to the son was without
consideration, and consequently was void.

CITY Omcer. In New quarters.

Everyone around the city Offices was
busy yesterday getting settled in the new
apartments. In the afternoon Chief Carroll
moved the Jail and council chamber furni-
ture to the new rooms and by tonight the
last vestige of city property will have been
taken from the Redick block. Building In
spector Dunscombe was directed by Coun-
Gilman Barrett to deliver the keys OF the
old building to Judge Redick in order to
prevent any trouble like that which was
brought about when the move from the Pi-
vonka block was made. The city now owes
Redick five months rent. and it is possible
that suit will be commenced by Judge Red
lex to recover this amount. In few days
everything in the city offices will be in
apple-pie order.

work VIII Go Over to Spring.

Copies of the resolution pertaining to the
repairs to the l. street viaduct, passed by
the oity council at the special meeting Mon
day night were mailed yesterday by Clerk
Carpenter to Superintendent Baxter Of the
Union Pacific and Manager Kenyon Of the
Stock Yards company.
In speaking about the matter a railroad
representative said yesterday that in due
time the city council would be made aware
of the position taken by the railroads in
an official communication. II was further
stated that the railroads would not hurry
themselves about the matter, but would fix
the bridge when they got good and ready.
The kickers in the council caused delay when
everything was ready to commence work and
now the bridge gangs have been sent else
where. BY the time the bridge builders
return the weather will be too cold and
consequently the work will most likely go
over until spring.

WOMEN on CURRENT TOPICS
Postponed Program Finally Carried
Out and the Numbers Enjoyed
by a Good Attendance.

Nature has not been kind to the Woman's
club OF late and Monday of last week was
the second occasion since Octoben when
blizzard prevented the regular meeting OF
that organization The department OF cur
rent topics would have furnished the pro-
gram on that day could it have had an au-
dience and by request 1T gave that pro-
gram yesterday. The first hour was de-
voted to the news of the week, reviewed by
the leader, Mrs. w. H. Garratt. Mrs. Creigh,
Mrs Beden, Mrs. Howells and others
touched upon topics Of political, commercial
and scientific Importance The program
was devoted to the general topic Of War
and Peace and was mainly occupied with
Creigh respectively.
Miss Scott presented Snap Shots at the
| War" giving a series of pictures which were
| interspersed with humorous stories. The
common incidents OF these later months
| those which have become household words
everywhere-were developed so effectively as
| to make them seem fresh, and the paper
closed with q tribute to the soldiers wife.
Mrs. Creigh admitted that her point Of
view differed from that Of many In regard
| to the necessity for war, but she withheld
! no word Of praise for the wonderful results
| that have been achieved by it. where can
you" she said, "ind another country which
can declare war. enlist, equip and send to
| the field an army of 250,000 men, fight In
foreign land under a tropical sun an enemy
strongly entrenched, destroy two great fleets
with the loss of but two men, utterly defeat
the enemy and compel him to sue for peace
and all in hundred days" After dwelling
for moment upon the favorable results OF
the war, Mrs. Creigh passed to the consider
alton Of the future and to the perils which
| will be incident to the establishment OF
peace at this time. She closed her paper
with some strong arguments against expan-
| sion. -
Mrs. Elizabeth Marney Connor. principal OF
| the Buffalo School OF Elocution, was a
guest of the department and she contributed
a recitation entitled .s'The Coward by
| James Newton Matthews, to the program
She also gave a second selection In re-
sponse to the enthusiastic demand Of her
listeners Miss Allen, without whom no
current topic program Is complete, whistled
| as charmingly as ever. Her selection was
| "Mauzanilla," and she responded to her
encore with a gay little polka.
