MAY. RESORT 'TO VIOLENCE.
l'he A; P. A. Leaders Talk of Using Force
to Put Their Board In Control—The
City Excited, and Trouble Is
. 'Apprehended.
OMAHA; Aug. 12.—The city is becom-
tng more and more inflamed over the po-
lice scommission fight and coolness and
judgment will be required to prevent
what may prove a serious conflict.
The district court yesterday afternoon
rendered a decision “ in the controversy.
The court holds that the old board is le-
gally in possession until further legal pro-
3eedings may show it is not properly in
power. IThe court, however, refuses to
make permanent the injunction restrain-
ing the A. P. A. police commission from
exercising its functions. The decision is
in the nature of a compromise, and it re
mains for the A. P. A. board to go to the
supreme court to have the case decided on
its merits. The important points of the
decision are as follows:
“In the light of these decisions the de-
fendants appointed as fire and police com-
missioners under the law of 1895 now in
force must be held to have the apparent
right and to be entitled to the offices in
question. Such being the case, a court of
equity will not restrain them from claim-
lng such offices or from preceding in 31.
possession thereof.
“It has been suggested in argument
that if the injunction prayed for is not
granted there is danger of a conflict be-
tween the contending parties, to the detri-
ment of peace and good order. There is
no allegation in the petition that the de-
fendants will use force and violence or oth-
er than lawful means to gain possession,
and the court will not assume that it will
be done. On the contrary, I have too
much confidence in the people of Omaha
to believe that such a contest vi et armis
will occur.
Should anything of the kind happen
the responsiblity will be with those who
' precipitate or incite it, and I' take occa-
Sion‘ to say here that notwithstanding the
views herein" expressed as to the rights of
the defendants to possession and occupa-
tiOn 0 he offices in question, yet the
pl _ t ye the right to remain peacea-
my I_ éfision and to execute the func-
tionsxof said oflices until otherwise order-
ad in a proper legal proceeding.’
-The excitement was intense when court
convened. The room was crowded to suf-
'Eobation. Every aisle was jammed with
spectators; and every available seat was
taken. Many prominent politicians and
afiiceholders were on hand. Judge Hope~
well reviewed the evidence leading up to
she present contrdversy. He spoke of the
exhaustive citation of authorities which
had been presented for his consideration
and stated that he had given the ques-
tions, legal and otherwise, which are in
iispute his careful attention. Title to
Dflice, he said, cannot be decided in this
suit. The question, he said, is, Will the
:ourt by injunction protect the old board,
thus obliging the defendants to bring quo
Warranto proceedings.
The regular police commission will re-
main in power until the supreme court
hears the case and for an emergency has a
ietail of special officers at the police sta-
tion and city hall to resist any force the
A. P. A. board may place in the field to
take the city property. Many members
at the A. P. A. have asserted they will
now 'take possession by force. though no
lemand has yet been made by the A. P.
A. commission for the city property on the
31d commission.
Many A P. A. leaders argue that since
Judge Hopewell has dissolved the injunc-
tion there is no need to wait for a writ of
)uster and now talk of force. So far, how-
ever, there is no evidence of this.

OUAY A_N____D HASTI
The Former Beats the Lattor’ s Forces In the
Montgomery County Primaries.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12. —Senator Quay
Saturday in the fightb for delegates to the
state convention to be held in Harrisburg
on Aug. 28, elected 15 and possibly 17
delegates out of a total of 24, which repre<
sents the five counties in which primaries
were held- and the one county convention
which was held in Schuylkill. Primaries
were held in J uniata, Adams, Perry, York
and Montgomery counties.
In Schuylkill county six of the state
delegates chosen are pronounced Quay
men, while the seventh is noncommittal,
but will probably vote with his delegation
for the junior senator. The Quay follow-
ers claim the solitary delegate from J uni-
ata, but the Hastings faction will not con-
cede his election. The two delegates from
Perry county are pronounced Hastings
adherents, while the two from Adams
Beaver statesman. There was a bitter
fight in York county, and it is exceedingly
difficult to tell just where the delegates
stand. The Hastings people claim the
whole five, while the Quay forces make
no claims, but point to the fact nearly all
the delegates who supported Maj or Loucks,
a strong Quay follower, for sheriff will be
in line for Quay 011 the day of the conven-
tion.
The greatest surprise of the day was the
defeat of the administration forces in
Montgomery county. The Hastings fac-
tion had been working like beavers in this
county and confidently expected to secure
at least five of the seven delegates to the
state convention. They concede the de-
feat of their delegates and admit that Quay
will have from 80 to 60 majority in‘ the
county convention, which will insure him
all of the delegates.
A PRETTY TOUGH YARN.
If the Lord Loves a Cheerful Liar, This One
thst Be Happy. .
MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Twelve
years ago Hiram Hornbcck, then 17 years
of age, residing in the town of N eversink,
Sullivan county, quarreled with his par-
ents. He left home and went west, (101
claring his intention of becoming aminer.
Nothing was heard of him until last Tues
day, when he stragglcd into his home, rag-
ged, penniless and penitent. The parents
gave him a cordial greeting, and the meet-
ing after his long absence was a happy one.
Shortly after Hirani’s arrival a terrific
thunderstorm passed over the farm, and
lightning struck and killed a calf 111 the
barnyard. From there the same bolt on-
tered an open window of the house, hit
the family Bible lying on the parlor cen-
ter table and opened it at the fifteenth
chapter of St. Luke, leaving a black mark
opposite the twenty-third verse, which
reads:
And bring hither the fatted calf and
kill it, and let us out and be merry.
THE OOLUMBIA’S SPRINT.
Uncle Sam’s Fast Cruiser Makes English-
men Feel Somewhat Uneasy.
LONDON, Aug. 12.—T110 fast voyage
which the United States cruiser Columbia
recently made across the Atlantic from
Southampton to New York is still a topic
which is causing a great deal of discussion
in naval circles. The leading service" or-
gans, The Army and Navy Gazette and
The United Service Gazette, comment up-
on hor performance as one of more than
passing interest.
The Army and Navy Gazette says, “The
Columbia came out of her trial splendid-
ly. 7 l
The United Service Gazette remarks:
“The Columbia’s performance proved her
to be the fastest fighting ship in the world.
Eleven minutes under a week in crossing
the Atlantic is thought to be very remark-
able time for a warship. There will be an
uneasy feeling here until the Powerful and
Terrible are finished. We have no cruiser
which could maintain a like speed for such
a continuous 11111.’

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.—Fitzsimmons
and Corbett met shortly before midnight
Saturday in Green’s hotel, and the result
was one of the liveliest fights seen in this
city recently.
Fitzsimmons, who stops at the house,
had returned from the Winter circus,
where he gave an exhibition of bag punch-
ing and was getting something to eat in
the cafe when Corbett, Brady, his mana-
ger; John McVey, his sparring partner,
and Joe Corbett, the Champion’s brother,
entered.
Corbett played baseball here in the aft-
ernoon, and his party were in hilarious
mood. Catching sight of Fitzsimmons,
Corbett walked over toward him in a
threatening way. The lanky Australian
was perfectly sober, but resented Pompa-
dour J im’s‘ manner and placed himself. in
an attitude of defense. At this Brady
picked up a chair and struck at Fitzsim-
mons, who snatched the chair from him.

“Well, you’re shooting off your mouth

cycle race and that you will pull my nose.
Now, I’ll do the nose pulling,” and with
this remark the. big champion gave Rob- !

two men clinched, but before any damage
was done they were separated.
Fitzsimmons then turned upon Joe ,
Corbett, who had grabbed the lanky fight-
er and attempted to butt him with his ;
head. Joe broke away from Fitz, at the ;
same time saying: “You big ———- —— ;
