His Democratic Documents Which Are Full of Blunders, TON, Sept. 2.— [Sneclal Telegram J—Senator Kenna's prophetic soul seems to have hinted to hm some months since the ungrateful task he had zaken on his shoulders in accepting the «hairmanship of the congressional commit- see, but he must be satistied now that the half 15 not told him or he would have adhered 10 his first intention of refusing to accept the responsibility Charged with the 1k of furnishing the dem- ocrat masses with pabulum and putting words into the mouths of democrat orators, ir. Kenna found himselt with nothing to draw upon. A campaign book was one of he first demands, forlt was the only way that under the civil seryice laws money could ‘e raiged. 1t was shovelled together, not from the achievements of the party in power, but from the alleged non-achievements of the party which retired eighteen months ago. “he book, at the low price of one dollar, is 10 go into the departments, and the govern- ment employe, from the charwoman to the ehief, who has notat least five of these upon Jus or her shelves, may expect early relega- tion to private life. But Kenna had not thou It of the possibility of some badly in- formed person becoming imbued with the idea that the book w de to read, and only a strong democrat paper qnoted some ex- tiacts and hinted that it sounded much like “rot.” Mr. Kenna's next effort was the issue of & financial statcmeit of a vague charaeter, such as he had seen done in former times by the republican committee, He neglected to state, however, whether it was the view taken by Mr. Morrison or the one endorsed by the” administration, and in a couple of days some meddler picked up the monthly debt statement and showed that a better state of things tinaneially would have existed if a small boy had been put in the treasury departinent to sweep out and cash checks that had resulted from the “manage- ment” 8o highly laude But Mr. Kenna's latest seems to prove his worst. He has issued a statement, compiled from ancient history, published a few days since, which he terins *“Defaleations Under Republiean Rule.” He places the amount lost at a little over $12,000,000, and in this he includes every dispited aecount every apparent liubility, every unsettle udgment in which even the debtor himself has not yet heard the amount due from bim- self o {L\e government, and then adds to it ull\lu[nlmnn and charges made by intere arties whether it appears upon ihe books of he government or not, He neglects to com- nare the percentage of these diretectlons dur- ng republican rule with those under previous democratic administrations, and has left his whole statement so full of fHaws that it is al ready being picked to picces. Three days after its issue he was compelled to enter an explanation, and it seews as if it would re- quire his whole time for this purpose. To tell he truth, the past eighteen months has been avery ba period for & eampaign commit- tee, and it can do but little, aithough it has the power and books at its back, but thresh over the old straw upon which the democrats grew tired along of feeding. e A Light Reduction.

The latter two have been on a big hunt north of Grand Is- land, and report a good time, although the pot-hunter had evidently been among the chickens before the legal time. Gon- eral McCook and Colonel Hawkins re- mained over to dine with Mr. Shelby. Messrs.

The Middle-Weight Giants. Yesterday a report reached this city Al Marx, who is in {raining to box Michuel Fitzgerald on the 8thinstant had been thrown from a buggy and seriously injured. Notwithstanding the rain Colonel FKorbes hitched up his old Dexter, and drove out to Marx’s training quarters. He found that the “Texas Cowboy” had been thrown out of a buggy as reported, but he had sustained no injury whatever, but on the contrary was in the vety best of condi- tion. e is confident of his ability to down the young Irishmen, and as he has the “‘hurricane lighting” ‘tacties and is several pounds heavier than Fitzgerald he will undoubtedly make things lively for Michael. The latter came up from Bellevue last night to order anew belt—the star and stripes above the green. He looks like a young giant, and as he expects to have amateh in Chicago very soon and has to return to Utah to fight iwk Murphy, a Rocky mountain champion, he says he wishes his match with Marx was to come off at once. Fitzgerald depends mainly on his science for victory on the 8th, and seems to have no fear of the result, He returned to Bellevue this morning, and will continue his training untilthe eve of moeting day.

A Chicago man named Martinovich, who says hie is a native of Montencgro and was born about eichteen miles from Sofia in Bul waria, tells the Chicago papers that Prin Alexander is really very unpopular amor the Bulgarians, who are full of gratitude to Russia. 1t is only necessary 1o observe that Sofia is more thai two hundred wiles from the nearest polnton the Montenegrin bor- der. In a matter of so momentous import- ance itis well that the truth should be known, Martinovich is not a Chieagoan. He belongs to Omaha. Here his veracity has never be uestioned, Neither have his opinions, The one has alw: been respocted and the oth have always beon sought by a knowledge-thirsty world, - The fact that Martinovich was born not nearer than two hundred miles to the Montenegrin border in no wise in- capacitates such a man as he from ex- Im- ing an opinion as regards the popu- rity of Prince Alexander, the more cs- pecially so that thousands of, and not two iundred miles, separate him from the land of his birth. The Board of Trade Meeting. An adjourned meeting ot the board of trade was held last evening to further consider the proposition for the ercetion of an additional story to the board of trade building. Mr. Sidney Smith, chairman ot the committee ap- pointed to collect subscriptions for the purpose of adding the story, reported that the committee had seenred )\.-.l«,u-s amounting to §3,600. He said he l’]ul not think there would be any trouble in rais ing the desired amount. . A miscellaneous talk was indulged in ive to the proposed improvement and the committee was instructed to continue the work of solicititing subseriptions and also to get the consent of two-thirds of the members of the board to the issu- ance of the proposed bonds. The board then adjourned to meet at 8 o’clock on Saturday evening to receive the report of the committee. For Travelers' Conyenience. ing a visit to the railroad offices yesterdsy a reporter for the B had the pleasure of witnessing a most excellent device for the accommodation of passengers in getting on and off the vlatforms of railway coaches. It isso ranged that a brakeman can, before ving the platform, pull a lever, or after swepping down on the ground turn asmall crank, which will cause an adai- i step to extend down from under- h the lowest permanent step and about cqually divide the distance be- tween tne ground and the regular step thereby making it more convenient for passengers, especially ladies, to get on and off the cars withsome degree of com- fort. The device simply constructed, and in pomt of safety, durabihty and wpness of construction scems to carry its own recommendation.

When her psence became prolonged beyond n soniable time, anxiety suggested a search, but notwithstanding the fact that all places where she might have visited id all the outgoing trains were watched, no tidings of the missing one were found There is a vein of sensation in this disap- pearance. Some three years ago the Rev. Mr. Hammill adopted the little girl with the full con- sent of her mother, who was left a widow in very poor circumstances in New York City and with six chidren to care for. Her husband was an extensive dry merchant in the metropolis, and while on a visit to the Montreal ice carnival in 1882 he contracted a cold which devel- oped into pneumonia, which resulted fa- tally. After his death it was discovered that all his money had been inve his business, and further examination showed that there were 1o a - ever for the widow and children, It was at this time the Rov, Mr. Hamml took the child, Fannie, and provided her with the best of homes, that affection could suggest was pro vided for the little one.

The mother subsequently remarried a mun by name of Edwards and moyed to Kan- 1 City. Rey. Mr. Hammill and fam- ily came here, the former to assume the rcs‘)(msillh- position of rector of Trinity cathedral. The mother never visited her clald in until about a fortnight ago she asked l'uermwsinn to call at Mr. Ham- mill's on her way, s she alleged, to San Francisco. This was readily granted and the meeting took (place, the child, of course, after the abseuce of so many years, and considering her tender age, not ognizing her ,mother. Nothing was then said as to any change in the nhome of the childibeing made, nor was there the least suggestion of any inten- tion on the mother’s part to take the child, Mrs Edwards left, apparently to continue her trip to San Francisco. The disappearance of Fannje yesterday makes Mr. Hammill morauy certain that the woman remained in the city or had an agent here, and that the little girl has been taken away, Mr. Hammill can’ account for." her absence in no other way, -He' will leave no stone unturncd “to "ascertain Fannie's whereabouts.
