New York Mail and Express: Mr, Lorenz Reieh, of this city possesses an autograph album that he values at over $100,000. A reporter passing up Fifth avenue the other day, dropped in to in- speet the wonderful album. Mr, Reich took it out of his safe as a mother would 1ift up her infant from the cradle, very carefully and tenderly, and placed it gently “upon a table. It is a vrge, ledger-looking book, — with probably 200 or 230 folis in it On mnn{ of the pages the hand- writing of same of the foremost men of these times and of the last generation is visible just as they wrote at that period ‘The large, bold and legible signature of General Grant was the first seen upon opening the tome. It was put there some years ago when he was in the full enjo ment’ of health and vrosperity, A few hages b the peculiar signature of forace (irm-lv\" sprawled across the folio, and almost opposite the riant autograph of wrlow Weed stands out like a colossus over looking the more deheate mes above and beneath, he poet Whittier's name ig modestly written in his usualsmall and beautiful handwriting. Hundreds of other signatures appes among them senators, poets, statesmen, philosophers, divines, physiclans, authors and setors. Among the doetors is the late Dr, Frank Hamilton's dashing autograph, written some years before his fatal illness, It is a peen et that several eminent phy- sicians who attended General Grant in his last illness have their autographs in the album, written long before they ever surmised that they would be called” upon to administer to such a distinguished man. ‘The familiar signature of Chester A. Arthur is in close proximity to several noted editors. Mr. Reich never permits the album to leave s sight when he has it out of the safe. He said emphatically that money could searcely buy the book. POWELL LANDED 1IN JAIL. He Is Bebind the Bars but Refuses to Talk of His Oase. GRITTY BUT POOR JUDGMENT. The Council Still Intent on Opposing Scavey—The Grand Army Prepe arations for Memorial Day— Chusch Services To-Day. Powell Returned and in Jail, A. F. Powell, the peeudo tle man who obtained $4,500 from the Commer- cial National bank in this city on a spusie ous draft which was endorsed by Dr. D. C. Dinsmoor, was brought to this city last evening by Detective Moynihan, As soon us the train arrived he was arrceted a warrant by one of the police oflicers cn to the county jail, Powell was sought in the jail by two newspaper reporters, but he refused to alk ng that he did_not propose to ny more material for newspaper Hie will be urraigned on Tuesday. A FOOLISH MOVE, Obstructing the Police Commis- sion, There was a secret caucus of the coun- cii last night, at which nearly all the members were present, As nearly as can be ascertuined the object of the caucus was _ to de- vise a means of preventing Mr, Seavy from acting as chicf of police. Members of the council, after the caucus, boldiy claimed to a Beg reporter that Mr Seavy never would b in that capacity. They claimed the coun- cil had a right to decide upon what rules should be used for the government of the police, and in the exercise of that right might’ indicate to the police commis- sioners, among other things, how long it would be necessary for a party to reside in Omana before being eligible to the office of chiof of police. As suggested to the reporter, the term of residence would probably be set at two years. A DANGEROUS PLAYTHING. The Vicious Act of a Oolored Lad Hurts a Little Boy. Nathaniel Travis 13 a colored lad who may be put down as a bad boy. He put a stone in a blank cartridge pstol last evening, placed the weapon against the head of Charles Jensen, three years old, and pulled the trigger. The little boy's hat was perforated and his sealp was cut deep for two inches. His father, Jacobef Jel who lives at Eighth and Marcy streets, is anxiously looking for T'ravi If the (.x\mn had been discharged in the little fellow's eye he would ha cen killed. Young Travis is aceredited with a good deal of gencral cussedness, and needs a vigorous application of a barrel stave. Decoration Day Preparations, The last preparatory meeting of the Jjoint eommittees of the Grand Army of the Republic posts of this city on me- morial day was held at the Arcade hotel last evening. The programme for observ- ance of the oceasion in an appropriate manner was carefully revised, and it was found that all of the detals had been properly attended to, More than was reported to be in the hands of t committee on finance for defraying the incidental expenses. The various com- mittees reported that they had been as- sured there wonld be a large attendance of civic societies, and also that 300 child- ren of the Band of Hope would form striking part of the procession, with gay’ tricolored eaps and sashes. 1t was determined that the contingency of rain should not prevent suitable ob- servance of the occasion, as the services will be held in some hall, probably the exposition, to be designated by the com- mittee. George A. Custer Post No, 7will appear in parade with one of the finest banners ever exhibited in the city. In 1ts center Custer will be represented on horseback.

Major-Gen. J. E. Smith and Captain F. E, Munn, aid to Col. G. B. Abbott, ot the Illinois division of the Sons of Veterans,were selected as judges, A largoe number of ladies and gentle- men were present and witnessed with vleasure the creditable showing which the fifty lads, ranging from between 9 and 14'years of age, made in the exmbi- bition of the company movements and manual of the lance, ‘T'he judges found they had to decide as to individual merit and selected the four best drilled boys, William ‘Thomp- son, son of Colonel Thomson; Robert Al- lee, son of Captain Allee; Vinton Sawhill, son of Captain Sawhill, Michael Clark- son, son of Major Clarkson. These they subje to a competitive drill. At the conclusion of this Robert Allee, thirteen yoars of age, was awarded the prize. "The prize consisted of & gold and silver medal surmounted Ly a spread eagle, over which are crossed muskets sus- pended from a bar, The following officers of the company hen appointed: Robert Allee, cap- tain; William Thompson, tirst licutenant; Vinton Sawhill, second lieutenant; Wil- liam O'Neil and wrge Hurley, color sergeants; Michael Clarkson, orderly ser- geaunt. At the conclusion of the drill the mem- bers of the company wera addressed by General Smith, who praissd them warm- ly. They then gave three cheers for their instructor, Major E. R. G. Sattes. “The sons of veterans will parade in full uniform and will make a creditable dis- play. Among the incidents of the prepara- tions may be mentioned the voluntary contribution yesterday of a liberal sum by an ex-rebel soldier, He refused to give his name, but planked down the cash with the remark: “We are all right now. You fellows were right before, but we didn’t think so. Instantly Killed. Samuel P, Fineh, a laborer employed at the waterworks, was instantly killed yesterday by being crushed with 4,500 weight of iron pipe. A car load of iron waler mams was being unloaded 1n front of the city waterworks, The switch leading up to the works is a steep grade made of sand on which a track has been roughly put down. The action of the waters during the recent flood displacea the grade somewhat, A switching engine pulled out the for the purpose of getting at another beyond. The workmen engaged in unloading the pipe staid in the ear until it should e replaced ng the cxr back to position it was necessary to assume a high rate of speed to got up the grade. It too much for the treacherons grade, and the bank began to erumble, the ear jumped the track and finally rolled over and down the grade.

Mr, claims that the wmhtter should be investi- gated. License Agaia Refused.

A Discouraging Picture of Life on the African Coast. Indianapolis News: Dr. Ralph W, Perry, whose recent return from Liberia has ‘been noted, is still beached, as the result of his long wrestle with Africa or coast fever, but he is gradually recover- ing his former vigor, and he proposes to begin the practice of medicine in this city. He had a rich and varied experi- ence on the African coast, and not even the ambition to suve a heathen from end- less torment will win him back. He went out in the employ of Episcopal Mission board to be in charge of the hopi- tal, and of the two who accompanied him one died with coast fever within three wecks after arrival, while the other was driven insane from a similar cause. Monrovin is the capital of Li- beria, being named in honor of President Monroe of this country, and it is a town of about 5,000 people, of which number eloven are’ white and the remuinder of mixed biood, but largely native. The business ot the town isin the hands of less than a hundred persons, and the re- mainder of its population lives off them. Common labor ‘is poorly remunerated. There is no plantation work, save in the coffee picking season, and the ne- groes who were exported from the south some years ago lead shift- less and forlorn lives, not much improved upon the native black. There is no money, and in payment of wha ever labor there is to do the laborer is compelied to take out the price in what- ever is offered him. Flour, costing $1 a barrel in New York, retails at §15 per barrel; muslin of ordinary quality 25 cents per yard; milk the same price per pint, and small pints at that; and every- thing else in proportion. ‘I'he steamsnip interests are controlled by Belgium and rman firms, and the agents that are sent to Laberia to look after their com- mercial affaira are under con- tract to remain three years; but few last that long. No ‘white man escapes an attack of African fever Iuseized Perry after he had been there but a short time, but thanks to a sturdy constitution he wasgble'to fight off the first attack, and a sqebid and third, but it kept returning every month or two, until'it finally wore himout.

A Small Boy's Revenge on a Bank Teller—Frothing Beer Guzzlers— Civil Service and Other Wash- ington ltems, WasniNaToN, May 28.—[Special Corre- |~ Lieutenant General Pl Sheridan, our highest military ofticer, is growing very stout. During the reunion of the army of the Cumberland in Washington a few dayssince he was around with the boys two or three days, reviving war experiences and having a good time, and his corporosity was more visible than ever before and was often remarked. “Little ’hil” is just below the maximum height for the army, and were he applying for admission to it would be barred out, He 18 shorter than five feet six,and weighs about two hundred and hfteen pounds. He fairly rolls when he walks, but he is nimble, and could go into the tield and do as active ser- vice a8 any man b the ey, and would doubtless withstand more hard '4|l|{l! than the reat bulk of young men. But the general s not old. He is in his early fitties, and is as lively as a youth, He is very fat 1 the face, his eyes being surrounded by great rolls of ‘flesh, On a hot day he looks something like a boiled lobster in color about the face, and on a very cold day is a perfect purple. But he s the very essence of good humor and 1o one can come in contact with him without admiring him. He is slow In speech, and careful of what he but when e says or does a thing it is said or done: there is no erawling out of it. He has the nerve and disposition to stand by Lis words or acts. 1t has beén said that General Sherman can- not make a speech, True, he is not given to taik, but he can talk, ana well, too. \ hat he says and does shows the character of the late General Grant. 1hs ideas were very like those of the chieftai. General Sheridan, like General Grant, has the highest apprecia tion of personal honor. His word is as good a3 his bond.

Perny S, HEATi, —— STORY OF A CRIME. Two Some years ago.” said the old attorney, as he tilted ack in his chair and put his feet on the table to rest himself, “there was a mur- der trial in Harrisburg. and I was as- signed with another attorney to defend the men on trial, They had killed old farmer—a most unprovoked and ¢ murder, from which they reaped no plunder—and while we defended them to the best of our ability, the evidence was against us; they were convicted and sen- tenced to be hanged. Just before the exe- cution one of the men confessed the mur- der to me, and told me that while he was one of the active participants, awful job had been put up by ' h demned purtner and a man who was at large in the streets of Harrisburg. He told how the fellow who was not arrested had planned the murder, arranged all the p; liminaries, and then sent him and his companion to do the crime. Furthermore, he told me that this same man got off the train late at night into a wagon on pre- tense of taking him to the place he was secking, and instead of doing so, him across th al bridge at Market steeet, kno 1 him on the head, robbed him and then buried the body 1n Cam- eron’s woods near the poor house.

The beautitul actress, Jane Hading, has left the conju- gal roof, retired to the house of her mother, and_demanded a divoree from her husband, M, Victor Koning, the manager of the Gymuuse, on the ground of incompatability of tember. Those who look forward to scandalous revelations on the occasion of this trial will be dis- appointed. Mme. Jane Hading hasnever displayed any taste or aptitude for galante aven- ture. Born on the stage and having heen on the boards from her tenderest child- hood, Jane Hading has, 1 imagine, { but one love, the love of her art, and but one aflection, her affection for her mother, Beautiful as a statue of Phidias, and gifted with but a moderate share of natural talent, Jane Hading, by dint of continuous work, has become aremark: ble act , and has conquered the eri cal public of Paris and London.

But the manager, fearing to separate his fortune from the rising for- f the beautiful star, insisted upon 1e Harding aceepted; and, y Catholic and he was a Jew, 1s celebrated in London and compli- acted without love on the wife's side, and with a husband whose passions have never blind: him to his maternal interests, the marriage not proved happ, iy and finally becama jealous of his wife's love for her mother, and on her side the wife grew to hate her husband so violently that the catastropho has come at last. We are now assisting at the unedifying spectacle of the calum- niation of the wife in newspaper ar- ticles inspired by her husband, who, being of the school of Balzac's Mercadet has doubtless some new manageria scheme in hand which will be facilitated by the outcome of this divorce suit.
