excellent citizen and a veteran of two
wars, was shot and instantly killed by a
worthless fellow who intruded himself
jvhile his victim was eating his dinner

grandchildren; but for the prompt action
of the police in securing the murderer,
the crowd that gathered would soon
have put an end to him. ' Gen. Miles

Speculations relative to coming legis

The Chicago Inter-Ocean does not

old soldiers, but remarks that the
South should understand from this
the feeling of the North towards her
old soldiers. . This is said in defence

Bad crops in Western Nebraska

The Seaooast Railroad Office Broken Open
The Thief Caught.
A negro known as Tom Mackenzie
was arrested yesterday for breaking into
and attempting to rob the Princess
street depot of the Seacoast Railroad.
Thursday morning Mr. Phil Thomas,
conductor on the road, went into the of
fice to get his satchel. Not finding it in
the place where he left it he looked
around and saw a negro under the desk
with the satchel over his shoulder. Mr.
Thomas started towards the man when
the fellow jumped out and ran; but in
passing through the doorway the strap
on the satchel caught on the door-knob,
and at the same time Mr. Thomas seized
him. The negro jerked away, however,
and made nis escape, leaying the satchel
dangling on the knob. Upon further in
vestigation it was found that the rob
ber had left his hat and overcoat
ia the office, and that an attempt
had been made to break open the desk
of Mr. J. K. Collier, the ticket agent of
the' road. Shortly after these dis
coveries were made the same negro re
turned to the office and said that some
one had stolen his hat and overcoat,
and he had heard that they had been
left at the office. The raan was after
wards taken into custolyKf 1 his house
on Princess street not far from the rail
road office.
A letter was found in one of the pck
ets of the overcoat, addressed to "A.
Moore," in which the writer cautioned
Moore to be careful as to who did his
writing, or he might get both into
trouble: The letter was postmarked
"Brooklyn Nov. 20th," and is supposed
to be from Mackenzie's' wife, who is
living North.
The prisoner was fully identified by
Conductor Thomas as the man he en
countered in the office.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.
Pleasant Entertainments at Luther Memo
rial Bnilding Free Concert for Sailors
The Frost Q,ueen Cantata by the Lu
theran Bundav School.
Luther Memorial Building Christmas
night was crowded with seafaring men.
A free concert and refreshments were
given for the benefit and enjoyment of
the seamen in port. Rev. Mr. Peschau
delivered three short addresses, in three
different languages German. Scandina
vian and English. There was a fine
piano duet by Miss Maggie Peschau,
and three fine vocal solos by Misses
Annie Stalter, Rosa Zeigler and
Linda Peschau. A pleasant and
laughable song, entitied "Mixie by
Sixie," was sung by six young ladies. A
very pleasing song was sung by Master
Chas. Schulken. Each piece played and
sung was most heartily applauded. Mr.
MacZilke, a German ship officer, render
ed a very fine piano solo. Prof. Miller
and his sons added most delightfully to
the evening's entertainment by playing
some German and Scandinavian airs and
Christmas melodies.
Last night, at thejitttfren's Christ
mas Cantata, Lutheran Memorial build
ing was not only crowded, but crowded
to overflowing, by an interested
audience to witness the -rendition of a
beautiful Cantata, called the "Frost
Queen." by some of the scholars of the
Lutheran Sunday School and to the
handsome Christmas tree and its fine
adornment. There were recitations,
solos, quartettes arid choruses. Miss
Maggie Peschau presided at the piano
throughout the Cantata. Miss Kate
Bremer personated the "Frost Queen,"
and with her fine elocutionary powers
delighted the audience.
Two of the choruses were especially
fine, and a duet by Louisa Strauss and
Elsie Ortman was sung well. Christine
Hinze sang a solo splendidly, and most
of the. participants did exceedingly well.
At the announcement of the "Frost
Queen," "Santa Claus" appeared in the
centre isle with a beautiful little team,
absorbing all attention. Through him
gifts were bestowed upon the children
under the brilliant light of the hand
some Christmas tree. The audience
was highly pleased.
Master Ferdinand Peschau, the four
year old son of Rev. Mr. Peschau, was
called on to make a speech while wait
ing for some of the participants, and
was introduced by Mr. Strauss, the Su
perintendent of the Sunday School, as
Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, Jr., and favored
them with a recitation entitled "Hang
up the Baby's Stocking," and he was en
cored most heartily.
POLICE OFFICERS' POWERS.
Have They the Bight to Make Arrests for
Misdemeanors Without Warrant.
The trial of a case involving the right,
of a police office to make an arrest for
assault and battery or other misde
meanor without a warrant where the
officer is not an eye-witness of the oc
currence was tried yesterday afternoon
at the City Hall before Capt. John
Cowan, Justice of the Peace; the case
having been removed from Mayor
Fowler's Court on affidavit of defen
dants through their counsel, Mr. Mars
den Bellamy.
Investigation of the case before the
magistrate showed that two citizens
Thursday evening about 6.30 o'clock
became involved in a difficulty on South
Front, near Market street. One of them
struck the other several blows and
broke a walking-cane over his head. The
latter leaving his assailant standing on
the street, met a policeman three or four
minutes afterward and demanded that
the officer arrest the man who had struck
him. The policeman accompanied the
man back to the place where the diffi
culty had just occurred, and (according
to the testimony of several witnesses)
told the man who struck the blows to
consider himself under arrest. The offi
cer was asked if he had a warrant for
the arrest and replied that it made no
difference, and the citizen then defied
the officer, and seized him by the collar
of his coat at the throat. The
officer ordered the citizen to release his
grasp, and drew his club as if to strike,
when the club was seized by another cit
izen. While the parties were scuffling,
another police officer came up and re
leased the hold the citizen had on the
officer, and the citizen and his friend
submitted and agreed to accompany the
officers to police headquarters, where
charges were entered against them
for resisting an officer in the perform
ance of his duty. The police officer
who first attempted to make the arrest
made a statement a little at variance
with the above details, claiming that he
did not tell the citizen he was under ar
rest until he (the citizen) had defied him
and seized him by the collar; that he
simply told the citizen that his arrest
had-been demanded by the man as
saulted. The case was argued by Mr. Marsden
Bellamy for defendants; that the police
officer had exceeded his powers and had
no right to attempt an arrest without a
warrant; not being a witness of the
affray or assault. And Mr. Du B. Cut
lar. city attorney, argued that the police
officer was justified in his action and
NO
that it was his right and duty to make
the arrest under the circumstances.
The magistrate's decision was in favor
of the defendants, and they were dis
charged. The case of assault and battery which
led to the arrest was continued on ac
count of the absence of witnesses, until
Monday.
