The Omaha train, due at 1 0'clock, camo inat 1:10. A crowd was at the depot, all eager to get a glance at tho woman, A groat many were ladies, and they pushed and jammed toward the gate, brushing mon aside in their haste. From the last Pullman car, aftor most of the other passengers had alighted, stepped a stoutly built gentleman. As he touched the plat- form he turned about and extended his hand to a plump, round faced puny woman, appar- ently about twenty-five yoars of age, She was dressed in mourning, Although her face was uncovered, she grasped the ex- tended hand and jumped lightly to the plat form.. *There she is,” “That's her,” were 1ons heard on all sides as the lady ort neared tho iron gatas of the depot, but the lady in mourning was Miss Biechler's sister. The gentleman handed the lady into an omnibus. A reporter fol- lowed, and the driver whippea up his horses for the Sherman house. . *‘I am Miss Biech- ler, but not the lady you reporters were ex- pecting,” she said in a very sweet voice, aftor the reporter had apologized for intrud- ing. - “Mrs. King, my sister, wished to avoid the crowds and the reporters at the depot, and so she got off at Western avenue, while Tdonned her mourning clothes and rode down here to face the reporters.” “How 18 your sisteri” “She1s quite ill. ~ You know she has not had the best of health for two years, and the tement incident to the trial has not im- ed her condition.

Boecher, ex-tronss ury agent, and twelve against Quincy A, Brooks, for stealing from the government. The records and accounts have been thor oughly overhauled and presented to the grand jury by government ofticials especiully sont from Washington by the treasury department in January, to make an investigation of the many charges proferred Dy the press and public. = The records wera examined for a year back. Tho first thin found was that vessels had been overcharge in entrance and clearance, and private re- ceipts issued. The government receipts cama out of what 18 known as the ‘‘blue book," and muny leaves of this had been destroyed and private roceipts 1ssued jnstead. By this method vessels were swindled out of small sums which aggregated many thousand dollars in each year. In other places it was found that vessels were charged in some ine stances hundreds of dollars more than creds ted. Two_ thousand government receipts were found in a mutilated condition, cone cealed in various parts of the office. The largest steal discovered was in_duties paid on a cargo of the British burk Made from Liverpool, last June. Six thousan Another Ocean Horror. QuErxstows, April 12.—The Inman lino steamer City of Chester, from New York to Laverpool, which arrived here to-day,reports that April 8 she passed the Danish steamer Danmark from Christiana for New York. The Danmark had been abandoned by her crew. Her stern was level with the sea, and her bow stood high out of water. She was apparently sinking. The Danmark was a vessel of 2,200 tons, and belonged to the Thingvalla line, New Youk, April 12.—A dispatch from London was received at the maritime ex- chunge this morning saying the steamer Danmark from Christiana was scen April 8 abandoned inmid-ocean. She s said to have 650 passengers on board, mostly Scandina- vians, Funch, Edye & Co., agents of the company here, say they place no reliance in the dispatch, but have cabled to the agents in London and Copenhagen for further infor- mation. The greatest excitement prevails in ship- ping circles over the loss of the Danmark. The Thingvalla line is probably the largest carrying immigran: line that plies between this port and Kurope. The Danmark had on board when she left Christiana for New York, March 25, 650 passengers, presumably immigrants. The crew numbered forty men.

K > agents'bf the latter line, had the vessel put in conditign for passenger traffic, re- christoucd her the Danmark and transferrd her to tho, Thingvalla fleet. This was the vessel's first trip from the other side under her new colors. The New York agents of the Thingvalla line this afternoon said that the steamer Danmark had been overhauled, and it 1s thought by all that she was the best of the fleet. There were on board at the time of her departure from 710 to 775 people, of whom 650 were passengers, The Daninurk was com- manded by Captain Gudson, an_old scaman, known for his courage and presence of mind, and he is not a man to abandon a ship to the mercies of the waves when there is one chance in even a thousand of getting her into port. No incoming steamship to this time reports any lfe boats or rafts thav might have belonged to the Danmark. Even if the Danmark had been abandoned she had sufticient means to accommodate all passen- gers and crew. Further particulars of the sighting of the abandoned steamer Danm Ek by the City of Chester_have been slowly arriving since noon. The Danmark was rapidly sinking when the Chester saw her. There were no visible signs of a collision. No wreckage was floating about. The boats were all gone from their davits, and nothing indicating haste and panic was noticeable. No answers to cables sent by agents in this city to London and Copenhagen have been received up to 2 o'clock this_afternoon, Ex- attle holds a receipt for 1,600, and $3i8 is credited to the government for the entirq month. After Harned was dismissed over £12,000 was found in various parts of tha oftice, secreted under carpets, m Hower pots, pigeon holes and other plices. The records of the daily receipts during tha latter part of Beecher's time are also iniss- ing. In addition, other records up to Har- ned’s dismissal last November are gone, making it ivzpossible to accurately determing the amount_of the deficit, Brooks is short §15,000 in addition to illegal fees collected, amounting to $15,000.

The Danmark was floating directly in the track of transatlantic steam- ers and we believe beyond peradventure that the passengers and crew were taken off some time, possibly as far back as a couple of days before the City of Chester sighted the wreck, since the Danmark, having left Christiana on March 26, should under ordin- ary circumstances have ' advanced considera- bly beyond the position found in. If the wrecked passengers and crew had not been icked up they would naturally, even if em- Parked i boats und on rafts, have remained in the ncighbornood of the 'wreck, the pres- ence of which would bo much more likely to attract passing steamers than_ small boats or rafts would. The city of Chester evidently did not find chise to the Northwesun, now the Chicago, Minneanolis & Omaha road. The land grant was held intrust by the first incorporators who claimed that. the property was free from taxation. This land is found to be tax- able. Several similar cases are pend- ing and altogether some hundreds of thous ands of doliars are involved. e German Advice to Harrison.
