Clr. NEBRASKA CITT, June 27. (Special Telegram.) There was a row at the Mattes Brewing company's garden last night and because of a general mlsunderstaLdlng one man was badly injured. A large crowd was attracted to the ground by the band concert, and everything was quiet and orderly until nearly 11 o'clock, when three young men, H. Hall, F. Foster and J. M. Francke, who have been here representing a Topeka nursery, began scuffling among themselves. George Thomas, a special policeman on duty In the garden, came up and told them tbey woul 1 have to desist. They then began to argue the matter with Thomas. Francke, who was standing to one side, came up and demanded to know what Thomas had to do with it. Without show ing his authority the officer pushed Francke away and told him he wanted no interfer ence from him. A fight ensued. In which the officer appears to have got the worst of It, He finally pulled a gun and struck Francke three times on the head, knocking him down. He then called for help and started to take him to Jail. When about two blocks from the garden Francke's strength gave out and he fell to the ground. He was then turned over to his friends, who called a hack and had him taken to a hotel. A physician was called and dressed the wounds for the injured man. He was only semi-conscious during the night and at times he was attacked by severe convulsions. Today he la resting easier and it la thought that be will come around all right. Had the officer known that the men were but fooling, or had they known that be was an officer, the trouble would have been avoided. Francke's father waa telegraphed for and will probably bo here tonight. . FIRE TAKES BOYS' DORMITORY Flalay Hall at Bellevwe College Entirely Destroyed ky Fire. la BELLEWE. Neb.. June 27. (Special.) Flnlay hall, a three-story frame building, sued as a boys' dormitory at the Bellevue college, waa totally destroyed by fire this morning. The building wss being repaired to be ready for the reception of students next fall, the fire being discovered by some men who were shingling the roof. It wss then confined to the attic, but with the limited facilities for fighting fire, the men were unable to extinguish the blaze. Just how It started no one seems to know. Some of the men had been In tbe attic, where the blase originated. Just a short time before, but aay they had nlether light nor matches and spontaneous combustion or rata and matches Is the most probable theory. The planoa and most of the furniture In the building were removed and Lawrle hall, which stands near the burned struc ture, was saved by bard work. The build ing was insured for $8,000, and the loss Is somewhat in excess of that figure.

SMITH OF IOWA OPENS THE DEBATE Mark taaalannaa Coaaent legislation ia Hoaae la Blocked by Mr. Moon of Teaneasee, Who Makea Objectives. WASHINGTON. June 27 The house today began consideration of the contested elec tion rase of Horton against Butler, from the Twelfth Missouri district. In this case the majority of the committee found that the election esse was so tainted with fraud as to make it Invalid and recommended that the seat be declared vacant. The minority recommended that Mr. Butler, the sitting member, had been legally seated, and that he retain his seat. Three hours debate on a aide were allowed. The speakers today were Messrs. Smith of Iowa and Bartholdt of Missouri, in favor of the majority, and Mr. Bowie of Alabama in favor of the minority report. The vote will be taken tomorrow. Some odds and ends were cleared up dur ing tbe early portion of the session. Re quests for unanimous consent, for which there is always a great demand during the closing days of a session were sud denly blocked today by Mr. Moon of Ten nessee, who told his friends that he would object to all such requests until he wss recogniied to ask consideration of the bill to give the Indian Territory a territorial form of government. The house disagreed to the senate amend ments to the general deficiency appropria tion bill and sent ths bill to conference. Mr. Alexsnder of New York ssked if a separate vote would be allowed on the Buffalo exposition bill. Mr. Cannon replied that he had no power to prevent a vote, and if the aenate was in earnest in Insisting on the exposition amendments he bad no doubt the house would be called upon to act. He said, personally, he would oppose the acceptance of those amendments. Messrs. Cannon of Illinois. Barney of Wisconsin and Livingston of Georgia were appointed conferees. A resolution was adopted calling on the secretary of war for Information as to tbe number of appointments to the army since April 1. 1898, together with the num ber of officers who have been retired within one year of their promotion, and the addi tional cost of such retirement at tbe higher grade. The senste's request for a conference on the Philippine civil government bill was agreed to, and Messrs. Cooper of Wisconsin, Payne of New York, Crumpacker of Indiana, Jones of Virginia and Maddox of Georgia were appointed conferees. Moon Blorks Legislation. Half a doien requests for unanimous consent met with objection from Mr. Moon of Tennessee, who announced quietly to his friends that as long as he was a member of tbe bouse he intended to object to every request for unanimous consent until he was given recognition to move the pas sage of the bill giving a territorial form of government to the Indian territory- He thus blocked the fond hopes of many mem bers and they crowded about and appealed to him not to atand 'n the way of pet measures. A bill was passed to amend the revenue laws ao a lo place perique tobacco on a similar footing with other tobaccos regard ing packagea. Mr. Taylor of Ohio then called up the contested election esse of Horton against Butler, from the Twelfth. Missouri district. In which tbe majority reported that there was no valid election and In favor of de claring the seat vacant. Mr. Richardson raised the question of consideration against the case and stated, despite the speaker's ruling, that the mo tion was not debatable, that Mr. Butler, tbe contestee, who is a democrat, was alck In bed. He appealed to tbe other side to vote against considering the election case In the interest of pension legislation. On a rising vote the house decided to con sider the case, 114 to 88. The ayes and nays were demanded. The bouse voted 142 to 111 to consider the resolution. No agreement was made for a final vote. Mr. Smith of Iowa opened the debate on behalf of the majority report to declare tbe seat vacant. After reciting the conditions of the elec tion Mr. Smith asserted that to allow such sc election to stand would be to serve no tice on the people of St. Louis that their efforts to purify the ballot box are futile. At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's remarks it waa agreed that debate on tbe case should continue for six hours. Mr. Bowie of Alabama then opened In behalf of the contention of tbe minority of the commit tee that Mr. Butler, the sitting member, was elected and entitled to retain his aeat. He declared that there was no competent evidence in tbe record which remotely tended to invalidate a sufficient number of votes to make Mr. Butler's majority even doubtful. Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri, the last speaker today, aupported the majority report. Without completing his speech he yielded the floor and at 5:15 p. m. the house adjourned. CONDITION OF THE WEATHER.
