Nearly a Whole Life Wasted Trying to Secure Justice. THE HOWL ABOUT FREE WHISKY. Misrepresentations By the Democrats of the Republican Platform — Changes in the New YorkCongres- sional Delegation—Capital Gossip. Red Tape Injustice. Wasmixaroy, July 21.—[Special to Tae Bee.|—There aro in Washington a great many men employed in the departments or waiting for something to turn up, who have just and valid claims against the government, which they have spent years of their lives in trying to have adjusted. Occasionally oue of these men dies before he secures the justice which is so long in coming to the claimants against the national government. The case in point 18 brought to mind in the death of Prof. Casimiro Ginesi, who was buried on Tuesday last. Mr. Ginesi was an ofticer of the Italian army, who came to this country shortly after the close of the civil war, and married the daughter of a wealthy merchuut in New York. Mr. Ginesi was engaged to represent his father-in-law at Savaunab, Ga., where the latter had an extensive establishmeat for the sale of fertilizers. But the Itatian officer knew little of American institutions and American methods, and still less of American jurisprudence. He gave the impecunious planters of Georgia all the credit they asked, and had great dificulty in collecting the woney due him. In several in- stances when he sought to recover what was his by rights, he found that not only every member on the jury was indebted to him, but the judge himself was among those who bad failed to puy for the goods he had used. Consequently, his efforts to collect his debts, were futile. He had an estate in It or forty thousand dotlars, He concluded to £0 into business for himself, and in order to do so made a voyage to his native land, sold out his cstate and invested the greater por tion of the proceeds in wines, brandies aud preserved goods, and champaign in Bordeaux and Lyons. This he shipped to Sa vannah; but some way or auother his goods arrived in New York and were stored in the bonded warehouse there for months before he had discovered what had become of thew. Then he demanded that they should be shipped to Savanuah as originully ordered. Ou their arrival st the latter port he found that great quantities of Jiquids had been surreptitiously removed from their package. Champaign bottles had been Iuppm& by the aid of the sharp point of an ice pick, and the wines caught in- vesseis by the custom house cmployes who, no doubt, enjoyed their stealing braudies of rare old vintages w have contained bundreds of gallons found to have been relioved of nearly all their contents. Mr. Ginesi asked the privi- lc‘w of paying duty ouly upon those goods which avrived in Savaunah, but the customs ofticials decided that ho must pay sccording to the New York sopraisment. This he de- clined to do, and tried for a long time to se- cure a reversal of the order through the treasury departinent. But in this he was un- successful, After waiting several years the bonded 500\!» were eventually sold for the unpaid uties, and # sui of $1.000 or $5,000 {n excess of the amount of taxes due was realized from the sale. For nearly twenty years Mr. Ginesi has been tiying to seeure the woney which wus so evidently his right, but through the red tape processes which have always provailed In the treasury department, overy attempt has been without avail, H 1e to Washinglon several years. ago valued at thirty 08 living for some time as i teucher | of |u some of those who had south secured a place for iltural department, where of #0 a month, being signed to the labo roll, yet he per- duty of ti ator, going over all anish and Italian publications cetved at the department, and doing work for which othier more favored proteges of C oner Colman were paid comfortable About a year ago he was trans- ferred to the war department at u salary of about $1,200 a year. [t was the intention of the department authorities to organize a burcau of military information similar to the naval bureau of information which is 1n existence in the navy department, It was intended to give Mr. Ginesi an important position in this bureau, as his military ex- d ability as a linguist would have great service to the government in position. But the n 'y funds purpose have ney rth- nd the proposed bureau has not yet 1 established Some time ago the Italian minister, Baron Faya, interested himself in Mr. Ginesi's aim and for awhile there was talk here of retaliation by the Italian government, unless the United States extended justice to the late citizen of Ita nd reimbursed him for the mou g so frauduletly taken from him, but the matter dicd out and nothing has come of it, and now Mr. Gines is under the sod, and his family have a claim against the United States which will proba- Dbly lust them for several generations, of languages. known him in t i the a * “There are two or three features in democratic howl about the republicans advo cating 1ree whisky that fairly makes my uche,” said a republican member of thie ys and meaus this s we do_not_pro- \ember, *'to abolish the al tux on whisky abolished all oth this upon our industu: directia o indicate to say that we are in favi hisky, I do not think that any tarift onist or auy temperance wan or wolnau would be in favor of retaining the heavy internal tax on whisky and permitting such a reduction on our import duties as would impair our industrial wterests, In the second place, if we ubolish the internal tax on whiskey, with a view to maintaining the protective features of our import systeu, nearly every state in the union will impose upon the whiskey in- terest a tax which will be s onorous as the one now levied. The state legislatures can mpose a tax upon the manafacture of whiskey, which will be as heavy at levied by the federal government at sy r they can make it heavier if they wish.

If the incomes of the government sbould continue to be so greal us to necessitate the abolition of the taxes on whiskey after all other internal taxes have been abolished and the import duties reduced to the minimun, the temperance question would in no way be affected. Tam a prokibitionist, but one that belioves the temperance question shouid be fought upon its own ground and notbe mixed up in polities. I believe that the national prohibition party is baeked by democratic ry existence is planncd 'ats, und that all of the leading caundidatos wiil not ouly be dic- tated by democrats, but will have their ex- penses paid from the funds of that party. 1 understand that the object of the democrats in establisning a branch of the national com- mittee in Indiana—if indeed that is done ~is to boom the prohibition ticket with a view 1o taking woters fromn the republican party, because four-fiftts if ot nine-tenth the (u'nhibilwn votes come from republican ranks. But this is not the point T intended to make. Tt is this: that the abolition of the oral tax upon whisky will not increase intemperence or be a disadvantage to the temperance cause.

S.P.MORSE & CO STRANGE SUICIDE AT HOLLAND A Woman Swings Herself Into Eter- nity Without Apparent Cause. VICTIMS OF THUNDER BOLTS. The Coroner's Jury Still Investigat- ing the Causes That Led to Mrs, Harry’s Death-—More Rail- road Extortion. 1020 P Stieer, LiNcoLy, July 21. Accidents and fatalities have been numer- ous in the city of Lincoln and vicinity dur- ing the past two days. While in the midst of the inquest examnation into the cause of the death of Mrs, P. A. Haney yesterday afternoon, a summons came for Coroner Shoemaker to come at once to view the body of a suicide near Holland, about twenty miles south of the capital eity. Oficial du- ties here, however, compelled delay, but he went down this morning and on return fur- nishgd Te BEE reporter the following sad story: Mrs. Tetje Bauma, a_Hollander by birth, aged fifty years, committed suicide by hang- ing herself. For several months past the lady had not been in good health, but seemed to be cheerful and of sound mind. Yester- day at noou her husband came m from his work, but complained that he was feeling badly, and at the carnest solicitation of his wife laid down to rest. Fceling better be- tween 2 and 3 o'clock, he arose and went to the barn and discovered his wife hanging by the neck, cold in death. She had got upon box about eighteen inches high and thrown arope over a rafter, adjusted the noose around her own neck and swung herself into eternity. No causes, aside from ill-health, could be learned to explain the rash act. Family relations proved to be of the most Jleasant character, and she usually soemod happy, cheerful and contented. Mr. Bauma and family came to this country about a year ago direct from Holland. They were poor people, but highly esteemed. The husband, two sons, and one daughter, all grown, are left to mourn the tragic end. During a severe thunder storm this morn- ing, while livid flashes of lightning were striking right and left as though hunting for victims, a little girl by the name of Lind thirteen years of age, living on Q stre tween Twenty-second and Twenty-thir struck by the'electric fluid and lay paralyzed for several hours. Fortunately the little girl was playing in the stroet near home, where she was tenderly carried soon after she was prostrated, and medical as- sistance immediately summoned. But the chances are that she is maimed for lite. She lies in a critical condition and possibly even now is beyond the pale of human help. The rrent that prostrated the little wirl ked down a horse and span of mules and driver but they escaped without scrious injury, Another accident of a like character is re- ported having occurred a few miles west of the city but particulars could not be learned. WAS IT CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS, R. B. Graham, N. C. Brock, Neal John- son, L. K. Jeany, W. M. Herdman and Alba Brown, the coroner's jury impaneiled to in- vestigate the causes that led to the death of Mrs. P. A. Harry, mev at 8 o'clock last even- fice "of Sherifft Melick, Several were examined but the testimony elicited was 8o contradictory that an ad- journment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning. Testimony was adduced to show that aload of hay was standing by the side of the track, so obstructing the view that the engineer could not see the unfortunate lady. But this was so bitterly contradicted that further investigation was deemed nocessary. It was also stated that the horse was run. ning away, from which Mrs. Harry sought to escaps, when she attempted 1o ‘cross tho track in front of the ongine anl was borna t0 her death, This o LiNcos BUREAU o¥ Tie OwATiA Bar, } , was as one 8.

Messrs, Allen and MeArthur testify that they held the horse down aud that they were backed into a ditch_and that n. was in front of them. The facts sc show that the engincer was devoting his time to “snorting and pufiing”’ his engine, as one witness put it, instead of watching whither he was flying, and for the pur of frightening the horse into runnin Some witnesses also testified that che body of the unfortunate woman was dragged from thirty to forty feot, while the engineer was certain that, ne stopped the train on the instant and within four feet after he applied the brake, The testimony adduced to-day tonds to prove that the lady was teying to escape the wheels of the backing buggy, and that she was between it and the engine when she tried to cross the track. Mr. Eskew tosti that there was no load of hay obstructing the sight of tho engineer, and that there was none in sight. The investigation is provok- ing_consideravle interest, but it will pro- bably conclude to-morrow. MORE BAILROAD EXTORTION. ideuces of railroad extortion and rob- continue to multiply before the state board of transportation. When one studies the appalling facts continually coming to light regarding excessivo railway charges, there is little wonder at the wail that comes up from allover the state, asking and praying for necessary and legitimato redress, wid such laws as will fo preclude the poss bility of futuro exactions so abhorently just. The very ltest comes from Buskirk, of Aurora. He says: wish to ask thoe board if there is any redress for me under the following state’ of facts: I am receiving threshers from the J. I. Case fac- tory at Racine, Wis. They arc shipped to Lincoln, a_distance of almost 600 miles, at o car load rate of about 20 cents per hundred pounds. A thresher rig complete weighs about 8,000 pounds. From Lincoln to Au- rora it is seventy-four miles. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad company charge me #34.96 for trausporting u rig seventy-four miles, while they haul it nearly six hundred miles for less than §20. Again, on a steam_engine and horse power outfit, which the railroad company cluims weighs 25,000 pounds, they charge less than 70 trom Racine to Lincoln, and from Lincoln to Aurora-not %o great a charge as in the first instance, but still too great_ a difference between seventy-four and 600 miles. The railroad company do not touch these goods; they are loaded and unloaded by consignors and consignees. 1 have the vouchers setting forth these facts.

This occupied some time, but he finally select8d the fourteenth chaps ter of Revelations and the third verse as the groundwork for his rather dis- cursive remark The words of the text were: “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts and the elders; and no man could learn that song but the 144,000 which were re- deemed from the earth,” The speaker announced that he was on a “lecturin tower” to raise $17,000 to pay for his church in Richmond, which was to cost 21,000, *an’ de indiwidual wat had d’at job on his han’s had a good deal of hard work befo’h him.” He then paid his respects to the people who came to church. Some, he said, came to be religiously instructed, to learn how to get to heaven and to come close to God. Some came ‘‘ter show dereselves off, an’ ter look odders w'at was showin, derselves off.” Some came ‘‘becuz dey had on a new dress an’ wanted eberybody ter see how it was fixed,” and WS some who come dere on’y ter criticize, an’ dose could make de st ob it dey fum dis sarmon.” He then Ty the tour beasts, and said: ron was a terror to all men, an’ 'y animal dat z more’n enuff could wuz de ers gave He' then athan,” which I heep ob de ob God.” After giving a rather exhaustive history of the animal kingdom 11, Brother Jasper reached He announced that he did not know how long God had been God, but he knew he was going to be God for all eternity.
