Now and then one appears who has n there before and begs that an inquest be held as soon as possible as the body 18 be- gluning to decay. Coroners’ deputies go out on their sad mission, each with a list of from en to twenty places to visil, Above all the commotion can be heard the almost constant ringing of the telephone bell, each ring pre- ceding the news of another death.

WasHiNGTON July 18.—|Special Telegram to the Bek. | —President Cleveland as a letter writer is becoming more and more a failure, A short time ago there arrived in Washing- ton by way of the Pacitic coast from New South Wales an artist named A. Roberto Pullin, He had been commissioned by an artists’ club of Sidney, composed of some 8ix hundred members, to present to Mrs, Cleve- land on their bebalf a painting illustrative of Australian scenery. On coming to Wash- ington Mr. Pullin wrote to President Cleve- land stating the facts and asking that he ac- cept the painting for Mrs. Cleveland. In the letter Mr. Pullin took occasion to sveak of the respect which the people of Australia en- tertained for the people of the United States and expressing the hope that the two coun- tries might become more closely united in their friendship and become more and more ablessing to the world. Imagine the feelings of Pullin when, after L 3 waiting a week, he received a cold, formal reply trom the president declining the pres- ent, the tone of hig letter being about the same that Cleveland would use toward an office secker that was trying to bribe him with a present. The artist could not do oth- erwise than sit down and write back how greatly mortified he telt that an act intended to draw the respect which a foreign associa- tion entertained for the peonle of the great Awerican republic should be so coldly treated, Le felt sure that his fellow Austra- lians could mot do otherwise than teel put out by the snub administered to them.

WASHINGTON, July 18.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.|—Ofticials of the department of state say that there i3 not a remote prospect of the establishment of a protectorate over the Hawail islands by any European power. ‘They base this beliet upon the knowledge that not one of the powers would submit to the acquisition of the islanders by any of the others, ‘These gentlemen say that the inten- tion of the revolutionisis is not to depose Kalakaua entirely and therein they are thought to be wise, under the existing state of affairs in the islands 1t would be impossi- ble that they could be admitted into the United States, ‘The state department people think that there would be no objection raised to this on the part ot any of the Euro- ean governments, but the only manner in which the islands could be taken into the union would be either as a full fledged state or a territory with a representative govern- ment, as the population is composed to a larve extent of ignorant natives, Chinese and Portuguese, with only about 500 whites It would be inst the volicy of this coantry to admit sueh a population into full citizen- ship.

WASHINGTON, July 13.—The commissioner of patents has rendered an important deci- sion in the case of the application to recister o trade mark fordistilled spirits in which the woras “Knights of Labor” and “K. of L.” distillery appear. ‘I'he commissioner states that there 18 no pretense that the manufa turers of this particular brand ot whisky who seek to rocister the trade mark are Knights of Labor or are engaged in business with them or under their auspices, yet the distine- tion voints to this labor organization or to members as a class fas the origin of the own- ership of the article to which it is applied. In other words the proposod trade mark is in the nature of false represantation and de- coption as to the general public, possibly in- ducing them to purchase an article under the bellef fhat it is manufactured by a society in which they have a friendly interest.

[} THE HAVELOCK DISASTER. A Coroner's Jary at Lincoln Making a Thorough Investigation. WAS THE RED SIGNAL PUT OUT? One Brakeman and the Conductor Say it Was, While Enginecer Bowser and Another Brake- man Declare it Was Not. Conflicting Testi Lixcory, Neb, July 18.—|S Tele- gram to the Bee |—The coroner's jury re- sumed work to-day in the examination of witnesses concerning the recent B. & M. wreck near Havrelock east of Lincoln. A large number of people were present as in- terested spectators and the Inquiries were closely made by Judge Mason. M. Hall, one of the B. & M. attorneys, and Superin- tendent D, hompson, were present dur- ing the morning hours of the session. The fireman of Engineer Bowser's enzine was on the stand for some time and his testimony corroborated En- gineer Bowser in every particular. He testitied positively that there was no signal light o stop out at Havrelock when the en- kine passed the station and that after noting 1o signal he put more fuel in the furnace. He thought that as soon as Engineer Bowser located the headlight in front as_an l||prum'hln§ train, that he used every effort to stop. He also agreed with the others in testitying that the car that caught fire was the one occupled by Dr. Ran- dall and son, and it burned. so rapidly that it was impossible to assist the man on ac- count of the heat. The tireman testitied that the air brake on the encine was not in good working order, and that Bowser had called Attention of Salisbury, who has charge of the Lincoln round house, that the brake would not work well, ‘The forward brakeman on this train was injured in the wreck, but he was brought to the room and gave his testiniony, which con- tradicted & good deal of the rest.” He agreed with the engineer and fireman in testifying that there was no red light displayed at Havelock. He was positive of that. He had betore reaching Haveloek, noted the head- light down the track, but supposed it was a train on the siding. ' After passing Havelock aud seeing no danger signal he went from the top of the train into the engine and was there when the train struck. He did not think the engineer shut off steam or whistled for brakes. “This testimony agreed with the engineer and lireman’s, that there were no signals out, while the operatorand boy 1n the oftice testified that the Signal was outand the conductor and rear brakeman testified that when the way car passed the station the red signal was out. It seemed to be a quite general opinion that the sivnal was turned after the engine had passed and before the way car reached the depot, or to those who have not formed conclusions the testimony the operator on duty for the hrst time on the road and the young man in the oflice with him is to be weighed against the en neer’s testimony, a wan of seven years’ ¢ erience as an engineer on the Chicazo, Bur- ington & Quincy line, supported by the further testimony of his'fireman and head brakeman. During the forenoon the jury called back & number of the ‘wit- nesses _ and questioned them re- garding@ the hours work they had to do and how_hard they were worked by the company. The evidenco was meagre in that respect and ‘Trainmaster Bignell was placad on the stand for the same purpose. Mr. Bignell's testimony was that trainnien were naver overworked, that some of tle way frelght runs kept crews on duty twelve or thirteen hours, while other runs were much shorter. Mr. Bignell could not remember of any train crews that were worked longer than th c. 9 In f: neineer Bowser's testimony of the day before was that he went on duty at omaha at o'elock at night, ran to Lincoln —and nad iifty minutes ofi then returned to Omaha reach- inf there at 10 a. m., after sixteen hours out the trip before the one he was running when the wieck occurred, havi been off duty that day from the time of reaching Omaba at 10'a. m. until 5 p. m. when s got ready tor the night run when the accident happened. An_engineer in_commenting on the fact, said that the pay roll of engineers and fire- men i busy times would show that they made some runs of a great many more hours duration than stated. *The testimony of the trainmen on the regular traln that Dr. Ran- dall and his car were on, stated that he with his car was taken on at Chico, Sarpy county, and that he had a_common coal oil lamp in the ear. The conductor and forward brakeman both testind that they had tried to get Randall to ride in the way car, but he preferred staying with his horses that were frightened. 'The forward brake- man stated that he ealled Randall’s attention 1o the fact of the ger of fire from the lan- tern in case of accident. None of the train men appear to have seen the boy who in the car with his father. Judge Mason told the jurf that it would devolve upon thein to detérmine whether Randall's death was from negligence on his part, for if it was the com- pazy would only bo lisble for eivil damagcs, At noon the jury aajourned to take further evidence at 7:30 p. m, Seduced and Deserted. NEBRASKA City, Neb,, July 18,—|Special to the BEE.|]—Some tline during last Feb- ruary there arrived in town a number of emigrants direct from the ‘*‘Faderland.” Among them was an intelligent and bright young German girl about twenty years of age, who seemed rather out of place among the common lot of emmigrants. To the few acquaintance she made she claimed that she was married to an officer in King William’s army, but still used her maiden name— Gretchen Von Monhause. She was well supplied, seemingly, with money ; but through & number of successive misfortunes she found herself shortly without funds or friends and was compelled to seek refnge in the home for the triendless of Lincoln, where she gave birth to a boy. As soon as she was able to travel she returneda to this city, and the child was adoptea by Mr, Woolsey, of Gireggs- port. Inatew davs the chila sickenad and died, and was taken to Ilamburg, Ia., for in- terment. And now comes the romance of the story. ‘The young girl again returned to Lincoln, but before leaving the city, in one of her despondentimoods confided her story to a lady, from whom the account comes. ‘The old, sad story of love and folly on one side and the devil on tne other, Her father, she claims, is a wealthy government official in Germany, and of a highly respectable family. She met and loved a dashing ofticer of the army and fell a victim to folly, Her parents sent her from home nnl‘I her lover sent her to this country to hide her shamo, grommng to follow and make her his wife, he Las been waiting for him for six months, but in vain.

The building was of frame, dry as powder, and in five minutes was a mass of flames thut spread to the wing of the building where the oil was stored. When this took tire there was no hope for the store- house and attention was given to surround- ing buildings and lumber, e fire depart- ment found it almost impossible to get water and one of the steamers was called into use before adecent showing was mads in tighting the flames. In thirty minutes the entire building was gone, but owisg to their being no wind and the department’s work with the water the flames were then easily brought under control. The building was very heav- ily stocked with supplies of all kinds, and the loss s varlously estimated at trom $50,000 to $15,000. It is imypossible to-night to learn the wmount of insurance, but it is theught it will cover the loss, and it has probably been vlaced by the castern management and not locally in this city. No certain cause is assigned for the fire, but it is the current opinton that it was incendiary, growing out of the recent switehmen’s strike at this place.
