CAPT. BRANNON AND THE CARPETS. One Branch of the Veather Bureau Inves- tigation Closed. ©DDS AND ENDS OF GOVERXMENT PROPERTY SAID TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN—prsKs UsED BY OFFICIALS AT THEIR HoMES—pnor. MINGTON AND HIS ASSISTANT MAKE MENTS. wan- STATE The investigation into the lors of property from the weather bureau was closed yesterday afternoon. Gen. Colby will now make his report, which will be submitted to Secretary Morton. The charges made by J. B. McLaugh- lin will be formulated ina few days and then the investigation on this line will be began. The testimony yesterday showed that seventy- eight yards and five pieces of carpet were miss- ing and further implicated Capt. Brannon. Prof. Mark W. Harrington, the chief of the bureau, Mr. Rockwood, bis assistant, and Mr. Smith, the chief clerk. all testified. The first witness called was William Wash- ington, a laborer at the weather bureau, who had oceupied the position for twelve years. He saw Capt. Brannon cuttinga new roll of lino- Jeum as he happened to pass through the room atthe time. What Capt. Brannon had done With the linoleum he did not know. CAPT. STONE RECALLED. Capt. Stone, the dixberaing clerk, was recalled and presented the inventory asked for on ‘Monday by Colby regarding the carpet hand at the burean and ths record on file the account books. The report showed a shortage of seventy-eight yards and five sepa- tate pieees of carpet, the sizes of which were notknown. Sixty-eight vards of carpet were returned to the department yesterday morning by Capt. Brannon when the inventory taken. The return was made at the suggestion of Capt. Ston nor could be find out, what had become of the mixsing carpet. On his own behalf Capt. Stone stated that in Tegard to the $5he received for the stone that he had never conv: -d the money to his own use, as the government finances were kept separate and he had never taken a penny from that box for his own purposes. If he received the money it was still there and he had placed $5 on the debit side of his accounts yesterday. Mir. Geo. 3. Gartrell asked Capt. Stone what right he had to authorize Capt. Brannon to take the earpet to bis house. Gen. Colby, however. had aizeady dealt with this matter and did not desire the disens-ion to become general. ‘Mr. Perry recalled Mr. Van Auken to show by Bim that Branp among those whose names were mentioned ax co: ected with the theft: was the only one who was at the bureau whi the transfer was ma: At the suggestion of J. B. McLaughlin Gen. Colby drew from Capt. Stone the statement that his daughter used typewriter which he had taken to his house in swering the letters he receiv ‘constituents™ on peusion matters and other things. Capt. Stone. in reply to a question by Gen. Colby, said that he kad given Brannon the privilege of taking the carpet to his home for | Use during the G.

He said his work was chiefly of an executive character. He could not ay in detail what Prof. Hazring- ton had told bim regarding the thefts, but in a general way it was that be “desired to get to the bottom of this matter and root the ulcer ent.

Brannon to remove articles to bis house?” “The privileges of an administrative officer are and should be greater than a captain of the | watch.” Mr. Perry then desired to introduce testi- mony to show that this practice held in other departments aud thai in these departments the Tefuse matter was seld without condemna- n. Colby said he did this was so. and if it was true it was a Pernicious practice, which ought to be cor- Fecied. Gen. Colby then ennounced that this part of the investization was cloted and that due notice of the investigation of the charges more directly involving the higher officials would be given. Mr. Perry tried to make arrangements so that the future proceedings might be held be- tween 102. m. and some hour in the afternoon, rather than 4 « as bas been done. Though nothing detinite was decided on, ment will probably be reached. P were then adjourned subject to the eaii of Gen. Colby. The Rechabites. Cammack Tent, No. 56, 1.

PLACES NAMED AFTER COLUMBUS. An Ingenious Map Which Will Be Exhibited at Chicago. Although America was not named after its rightful discoverer, the shades of Columbus | need not be grieved away because of base in- | gratitude. A very generous disposition bas been shown in the United States to atone for this past deficieney in appropriate nomencla- tare by naming cities, towns and counties after | the great discoverer. In this direction Colum- | bus bas received far more honor than George | Washington. Dr. G. Browne Goode of the National Museum, who has charge of the government exhibit at the world’s fair, has prepared an ingenious map that well illustrates the extent to which this has been done. _It is to be set in a largeand elegant frame and hung in the Convent La Rabida at Chicago with the interesting relics of Columbus, which form a part of the Spanish exhibit. This convent is an exact reproduction, so far as pos- sible, of the original one of that name in Spain, from which Columbus set sail to discover America. a A duplicate of this map was on exhibition at the Madrid exposition, just closed, and was awarded a gold medal.’ It hung in the famous Columbus room in the gallery of Columbus traits collected by Mr. W. E. Curtis of the partment of State, who had charge of the Latin American exhibit, and excited much fa- vorable comment. i It is prepared from a large-sized map of the United States, with adjoining parts of Canada and Mexico.” It is found that the remaming portions of North America have not been par- ticularly mindful of Columbus’ name. In fact | the territory settled by the Spanish people alone remains entirely without Columbian names. ions are des:gnated on this map. Wherever used a b us peg with large fiat head is i serted.

To sixty-nine of these places Uncle Sam sends mail, which undonbt- | edly eanses more confusion in the Post Ofice Department than the forty places by the name of Washington. ‘There are twenty-five Columbia villages equally distributed among the people and nine- teen Columbia or Columbus townships. The older and more thickly settled states are gener- sily found to have the greatest profusion of lumbian names, although this is not always true. Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island have none, and one may well ask why this should be, sinco it is not the case with any other state east of the Mississipp every state and territory in the Union excepting ten have from one to twelve Colmmbiau names.

Holman of the whaling schooner Leon S. Swift of New Bedford, Mass., has reported the loss of the schooner at the Island of Mayo, Cape Verde Islands, February 19. ‘The first mate, Edgar Crapo of New Bed- ford, the second mate and nine men were lost. The schooner had been away from her home port since November 14, 1892, and has had poor luck. In running down between Mayo and Santiago in a fog one night the vessel struck the breakers on Former Island. A boat was lowered and five men and Mate Crapo jumped in. They had not gone two boat lengths from the schooner when # breaker capsized it, and a moment later’ the second boat, with four men, also caperzed, All were drowned. ‘The Swift was pounded in-shore and the waves dashed over her ten feet high. When she had brought up, wedged in between two big boulders, the crew cut away her masts and using them as bridges crawled ashore. The crew saved nothing excepting what they had on. They were taken to the American consul at Port Praya, and were cared for. The Swift was owned by P. H. Mye and others of New Bed- ford, and valued at $17,000; partially insured.

W. ASTOR'’S PURCHASE. He Buys an Ancestral Estate From the Duke of Westminster for $1,250,000. William Waldorf Astor has bought the splen- did estate of Cliveden, on the banks of the ‘Thames, England, from the Duke of Westmins- ter. The sum paid is stated to be $1,250,000. Cliveden is at Maidenhead, Serks county, and is one of the ancestral seats of the duke. It is the finest place on the Thames, although its de- lights have been diminished of late years. Be- ing so near London it has become the favorite hunting ground of the savages who hire launches by the day, while on Sunday it is the haunt of a large section of “society.” The Duke of Westminster bought Cliveden twenty-four years ago. Afew months afterward the house was burned to the ground and « very fine collection of old furniture was destroyed. The present splendid mansion was then built from designs by Architect Barry. ‘The mansion at Cliveden, though somewhat heavy aud formal, is imposing and magniticet The center portion is a revival of the de: for old Somerset House, and is extended to wings, which, together with the terrace, are made’ to harmonize with the new building. Just abote is Hedsor Park, the seat of Lord Boston; the other neighboring property is Dropmore House, built by Lord Grenville, George III's prime minister, and long the favored resort of himself, his great-cousin, Mr. Pitt, and William Windham. The grounds of Cliveden are comparatively small, about 135 acres. It is a little less than forty mijes from Putney bridge by the River Thames. soo ‘The Last of Her Race. From the Jacksonville Times. Old Jennie, the last representative of the famous Rogue river Indians now living in this country and quite advanced in years. is making a burial robe, after the custom of the distin- guished members of her tribe, in which to be laid away when the summons shall come and she shall pass to the happy hunting grounds, where the white man is not and firewater is unknown. The groundwork is of fine buck- skin and is superbly decorated with the various kinds of money used by the tribe for pete tions past and richly ornamented in a pleasing and skillful manner with jewels, pebbles, beads and other valuables used and admired by the tribe in the past. The robe when completed will weigh fully fifty pounds, and asa relic or reminder of the peculiar customs and practices of a nation of people now practically blotted from existence is most valuable and should be preserved. With this commendable pu: in view Mrs. Rowena Nichols, who-has been em- ployed by the world's fair committee to paint ‘the Table Rocks, has procured a number of ee this interestin, — and rad int a life-size picture of old Jennie wrap Irhee gorgeout cerements, and thus happily preserve a sacred custom about to for- ever into oblivion.

A large number of miners were at work at the time and the explosion caused ter- ible havoc. ‘The exact number of lives lost is not known, Dut it is known that 300 miners are entombed in the mine. The engine house isin flames and there is the greatest fear that hundreds may have perished. The rescuers who went down were driven back without being able to bring ‘up more than five of the dead and the fate of the other miners is in doubt. *The most agonizing scenes were witnessed, and throngs of men, women and children, rela~ tives of below, were crowded about the mouth of the coal pit. The worst fate is feared for hundreds of miners. The pit is worked in sections. one seam being above another. The fire resulting from the explosion broke out in the eastern section. From this section seventy men succeeded in reaching the surface through the main dip working, led by a miner who knew the roads. ‘They had a terrible struggle to get ont, forcing their way through fire and smoke. Many of them were scorched and all were terribly ex- hausted when they emerged to safety. ‘They Lag mo good news as to those who were le hind, but, on the contrary, expressed their dread that all those in the mine had per- At 9:45 o'clock last evening it was impossible ‘to obtain more than meager details of the ac- cident. The first alarm was given at 2:30 yes- terday afternoon. ‘The flames spread to the woodwork, and finally ignited the inflammable gas inthe seam. Flames and smoke gave to the 200 men at work in the seam the first ws ing of approaching danger. All ran toward the landing. Many were overtaken by the fire and smoke, fell, and were left to their fate by their comrades in advance of them. Compara- | tively'few of the men in the seam at the time of the explosion reached the lmding. THE WORK OF RFSCUE. A rescuing party was formed by the pit sur- veyor. ‘The party got as far as the landing at the seam where the fire started, but were driven back almost immediately by the denso smoke issuing from the seam. ‘The surveyor took his men back to the surface. After a half hour’ rest they went down again and forced their way ten yards into the workings. They found four dead bodies, which they brought back with them: Attempts to go further into the workings were vain, as the woodwork was burning and large masses of ruins were falling incessantly from the roof, One of the rescuing party who ventured too far was killed. ‘The men who saved themselves immediately after the fire broke out were too much con- fused and frightened to observe the positions of thei ir fellow-workingmen, They are unable 9 any clear account of the distribution of the miners, and the work of rescue must, there- fore, proceed under all the difficulties of un- certainty, Not only were scores of miners’ families at the mouth of the pit, but also the miners ho were saved and the men of the other shifts. There were numerous volunteers to undertake the work of rescue as soon as it became pos- sible. There was little donbt that most, if not all, of the men left below had been suffocated or burned to death. At midnight the fire was again burning in all sections of the mine near the shaft. The serv- ice which was used to pour water into the mine burst. The difficulties of quench- ing the fire have increased greatly and the res. cus of the men below is regarded as hopeless. Another attempt to enter the fire seam proved resultless. Although the rescue party saw several dead bodies they were prevented by smoke and heat from reaching them. too ITALY'S FINE EXHIBIT. A Collection Vained at $500,000 Now Being Landed for Chicago, ‘The Italian transport Eridano, which was placed at the disposal of the Italian exhibitors at the world’s fair by the Italian government and which arrived at Portland, Me.,on the 10th, has 900 tons of exhibits destined to the Colum- bian exposition at Chicago. There were so many applications for space that the capacity of the Eridano was not equal to the demand and the government was obliged to cend 2,000 packages more by the | Kaiser Wilhelm, which is now discharging, and ; general | the shipment will be forwarded to Portland in order to consolidate the exhibits. ‘The transferring of the packages from the teamer to the trains will be under the direct supervision of the commander of the Eridano, and each train will be accompanied by a de- tachment of marines, to look after the exbibita while in transit and see that they are safely de- livered at the world’s fair grounds. "The Italian, it is said, is the most valuable of any foreign exhibit at the fair, and meiudes many rare specimens of Italian paintings and sculp- ture and bric-a-brac and also the roval fam- ily’s inces of Italy, which are said to be the finest collection in the world and are valued at $500,000 but could not be replaced at any cost.

WIS SALARY DIVIDED. Congressman Sibley Will Give It All to Farmer Interests. Congressman J. C.
