8 2 & Doty SEVENTEENTH YEAR OMAHA, MONDAY MORN ING, e e e e e — OCTOBER 31, 1887. NUMBER 135 THE WRECK OF THE VERNON |: None of the Crew or Passengors Yet Heard From. THE STORIES OF TWO CAPTAINS. Moran, of the Superior, and Williams, of the Joseph Paige, Tell What They Saw on the Fatal Night. New News of the Missing. MiLwavkee, Wis,, Oct, 80.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—The wreek of the passen- ger propeller Vernon, in the terrible gule which swept the lake involves a greater loss of life than any of the previous disasters on the lake this scason, not pting that of the propeller Champlain which was burned n the spring oft Charlevoix, drowning twenty-four persons. A most singular coin- cidence is that the Vernon was the vessel which took the pla Northern Michigan line and had only on the line since August 1. She the finest furnished passenger boats on the lakes and had a valuation of §8,000. Moran, of the steamship Superior, which ar- rived here at 8:30 o'clock, brought the first news of the wreck.

Thes W- ever, have been more of them lying down in the boat. The three we suw were on seats. One of the men was standing oar with his coat swinging to attract atten- tion. Their hearts must have been glad- dened in their expectation of help from us. How inhuman they must have thought us ip holding his when we pussed them by, and, within a mile too, without even turning our vessel towards thelu. But with our stecring gear disabled us it was we could not steer our vessel, and there was nothing for us to do but hope ' that some of the vessels coming up the lake astern of us might discover them and pick them up. “There is a possibility that a large three and aft schooner coming up the lake after us may have picked up the persons in the boat. She waus three or four miles astern of us and I could sce through my glass that she was heading towards them, But she wmay b been bound for Manitowoe and could haye passed without secing them. There was lit- tlo possibility that she could have ta men off rafts and it is even doubtful if s could pick up the yawl in such a sca. 1f she could get close enough to throw them a line as she scudded by and they held on to it, there might be a chance for them tobe saved, It was us heavy a sea us I ever expericnec in all my life on the lakes.

These qualities have probably not served so well with the professional managers of the democratic party, many of whom have been scandalized to find that their candidate actually meant what he professed, but Mr. Cleveland will to all appearances live down the disaffection of a section of his supporters as he has lived down the rancor of his op- ponents, If the democrats wish to score an easy victory next year they will nominate him agaip for the presidency. 1f they fail to do so the chances are that he will be nomi- nated, possibly even elected by the inde- pendent men of all parties 4Tt 18 to be hoped that a personal acquaint- ance with President Cleveland will have a beneficial effect on Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. There is a certain similarity in the career, if not in the character of the two men. Both are mugwumps, i. e., men who have broken away from strict party lines, although Mr. Cleveland fs not so much a inug- wump himself o the nominee of mugwumps. They are both by training municipal politicians and both have become prominent party leaders. Beyond this point the parallel becomes a contract which it would notbe kind to Mr. Chamberlain to pursue.

Magnificent Reception at Castle—The Hunt. [Copyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett.] WERNINGERODE, HARTZ MOUNTAINS,Oct. 20, —[New !/ork Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—The ka hunting trip to Count Zen Stalberg's Werniugerode castle s been in eve 1yway asuccess. After the reception dinner there was a general illumination in the valleys of the villages overlooked by the castle: next day the hunt during which his nty-six head of game; finally ture on Wednesday. Finally we Stalberg sl to ninty-one year old tune, much to his sat- isfaction, if looks and a stay of a day longer than was arranged prove anything. Monday evening came the kaiser just at dusk in Wer- ningerode. E other man and boy belongs toa drum band. Every band was at the station to din a welcome into imperial ears. ‘The kaiser ran the musical gauntlet without any apparent injury to his nerves; certainly with bravery, for,so far I could see, he did not one wince. As his mbjesty stepped from the train the cannon of the castle on the height above the tower began to thunder, At the same moment a red light was 80 burned as to give a view of the whole castle outlined in flame. Grofe Stalberg and his oldest son met the kaiser, the former re- turning in the imperial closed carriage, which with a bed had been seiit fiom Berlin, the latter with Prin William in an open carriasge. As the carriuges wound away areund the hill on the sumuiit of which the stle is, there was a continual discharge of mon with a clever use of bengal five to light up that portion of the wails for the mo- ment i view, Inside, an the court yard, the count’s huntsmen hid been waiting fora half hour, At the top of the castle tower a wan hild the imperial standurd ready’ to be flung out and up, as the kaiser -came. Iuside the walls opponite, flapped the cotnt’s blick and yellow binner. Below lackeys 'inYlack and yellow ran about carrying orders and a crowd of people, mainly the wives and daughters of Count Stalberg's descend- ants, lined the steps of the gallery leading 1o the castle chapel. Many bright uniforms filled the quaint old court yard, but it was a simple crowd for all that, ‘“‘Anna," called one of the count's officials, and “Anna’ having been fougd, some family details were arranged between them there without anyone smiling at the incident. The foresters threw aside their gray overcoats and stood in their green and gold uniforn Thereupon rushed down an anxious wife to insist that her gray-haired husband should wear his overcoat which, by the way, he did. Outside, the military band began to play, ‘‘Heil der Im Seger Tranc.” A little girl danced to a window clapping her hands with excitement. Inside the castle the guests, in- cluding half a dozen princes and princesses and a dozen counts, slowly collected. At the main courtyard entrance up went the im- perial stan the ved fire flamed out suddenly, the huntsmen began their loud bugle greeting, and two mounted torch- bearers, with flaming torches, came clatter- ing through the high arched entrance. Be- hind them was a four-horsed coach with out- rider. Ina moment both carriages were be- fore the door and Prince William had sprung out, throwing his cloak to a servant who stood near. while Count Stalberg helped the kaiser to alight. Altogether it was as quaint a piece of medievalism as could be hoped for. So successful, in fact, that, although I had been warned to notice the forest call which the foresters were bugling within ten feet of my ears, T not only failed to catch the note of the air, but in addition disgraced myself by not knowing, when asked, that they went on bugling when the kaiser had entered the court yard. At 6 came the dinner of fifty-six covers. There were more candles than silver, very pretty fower decora- tions and excellent music. Be- hind each two chairs stood @ symphony in black and gold who condescended to pass the dishes. The chicf symphony even wore a genuine sword and looked quite capable of using it on his subordinate waiters instead of on the beef. As the kaiser rose from dinner a cannon shot caused the lighting of fires on every hill in view. The castle windows, as the castle is high up, look out over therolling, thickly inhabited foothills of the Hartz mountains. The view can be imagined when each hilltop was erowned with a big bonfire and every village and town, for miles around, brightly illuminated with candles at every window. For two wecks sixty men had been at work under command of Count Zen Stalberg's foresters putting up fences and netting to force the game to pass before the hunters' rifics. On Tuesday before daylight 100 men were already busy getting the game well in hand in the big forest fields into which the animals had been driven two weeks before. At 11 Prince William and all except the kaiser had already had an hour's shooting in one part of Grof Stolberg’s 200,000 acre hunting estate. At 12 the rendezvous for the kaiser's party was crowded with hunters, huntsmen beaters, and dogs before a big open air fire, Prince William, with twenty-two comrades of his morning’s hunt, were seated on convenient little stools which folded up into walking sticks when not used as seats. Next them the foresters were gathered with their bu gles ready; a little further off a pack of hounds yelling and fighting whenever their chains and the whips allowed. The emperor drives up, is greeted by bugle blasts which cause every dog in the pack to howl, and by cheers, of course. He then stops for a moment to be photographed, sit- ting wrapped in fur in_ his carriage, with the background of hunters and huntsmen's dogs. Afterwards he moves on to his hunting sta- tion, while the other hunters string out in all directions to their places. Each hunter stands behind a low screen of evergreen with him. The men load his rifies and locate his wounded game. The kaiser, however, stands under a canopy of evergreen boughs, The game, decr and wild swine, is hunted out of the big entrance by the beaters and dogs, passes through one of two gates, in front of one of which the emperor stands, while at the opposite gate is Prince Wil liam's stand of fences and mets at cither edge of a half circle to keep the in bounds. It runs the gauntlet of su rifles but the succession of shooters from two to three hundred yards apart keep the game from escaping too quickly behind the hunters where two half circlesof shootersmeet. The game coming in opposite directions is forced behind all the rifiemen. The hunte of course, shoot only towards the outer circum- ference of the circle. Altogether it is a good deal like the hunting scene in the ordinary theatrical version of Faust except that the animals, in their wild rush, do not make a full cirele There is a bugle call answered from the shooting stations as a dozen ventursome wild boars, hoping for better acorns, are making a rush together, The kaiser fires as fast as his leibjager can hand him guns, One big pig drops in his tracks with a crash; another rushes on for a few yards and then drops head first, ripping up the earth with his tusks. The foreshoulders of a third are badly wounded and he dodges behind the line of shooters, but is noted by Chief For- ester Mueller's quick ear. Accordingly he is later dragged out und added to the kaiser's trophies. A couple go back to try their luck at a more favorable point. The rest, scared out of their piggish wits, are beyond sight drawing the next hunter's fire, Before the aved away a deer follow: ing past at such arate that a quick and steady arm are both ne y if they are to be stopped in transit. Fiving becomes general all around the circle, Every once in a while comes the frantic squealing of a wounded or dog-bitten pi; where is heard the shouts of the hunters. Thehounds get nearer the scared animals left in the en- closure.

In private life he seems to beCharles Orton, and to-day his wife was suing for a divorce on the grounds of her husband’s de sertion and adultery. There was no defense beyond the pleading of the petitioner. It scemed she was married to the respondent in July, 1879, The respondent was an actor, and a month after their marriage told his wife he had got an engagement in Australia aud that he was going out there to fill it. Ho was to write to his wife and send her monoy when he settled, but never did so and the peti- tioner being without means of any kind went on the stage herself.

She saw him, but could get nothing sutisfucto from him and afterwards finding he was liv. ing in Salisbury street, Strand, with a woman by the name of Jesse Bowden as his wife, she instituted this suit.
