THE OMAHA DAILY BEE EIGHTEENTH YEAR. e ———m———————- ] OMAH TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1889, NUMBER 357 MUSCLES THAT NEVER TIRE. Bteam Engines Clearing Up Dobris at Johnstown. HOWLING OVER THE GRAVES: Dogs Make Night Hideous in Pros- pect Hill Cemetery—No Fear of an Epidemic—The Banks Openin g. Working in the Rain. Jonxsrows, Pa., June 10.—The tenth day of the work of clearing away the wreckage opened with a drizzle which made everythmg wet and slippery. About 9 o'clock the down- pour became so heavy thatit interfered ser- jously with the work, and the men were called to shelter, but as soon as the rain be- came less heavy all went to work again. Arraugements have been made by which a much npeeded supply of fresh meat will be furnished. The great quantity of dcbris which has been loosened from above the stone bridge and floated down stream, has formed a gorge opposite Cambria City,and a number of men were sent down to remove it, as it closed the chan- nel, stopping the flow of water and render- ing very difficult the work of removing the ‘wreckage at the stone bridge. The visit of Governor Beaver to this sec- tion yesterday has given renewed hopes to the stricken people, and on all sides the ac- tion taken yesterday is being favorably com- mented on. After Wednesday, Adjutant. General Hastings will have entire charge, nd this scction will be strictly under mili- tary discipline. ‘The I'irst National bank has ovened up for business, and the fact is appreciated by all, as much trouble has been occasioned by the mability to get money here. Much suffering is occusionea by tho wearing of gum boots by the men employed here. Over sixty of them were obliged to quit work, to-day, owing to the fact of their feet being terribly Dblistered, and many are at work in their bare feet. Sixteen bodies were recoveded this morning, aud but five were identified. They are a_ son of C. Elcessor, unacrtaker; Mrs, Kate Neery and Mary Jane Nugent, seamstresses ; David Creed, grocer, and Blanche Hanniche, The unidentitied were seven females and four males, the bodies being very much de- composed. ‘There will not be any further work for the undertakers after this evening. Rev. Father Trautmeiu, pastor of the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, reports that out of a congregation of 950 he has lost 113, and thinks the number will reach 150. The medical director in Minersville re- ports that the prevalence of measles is be- coming mild, and there is no apparent im- mediate danger of malaria, Only a single case of typhoid pneumonia was reported there. Two hundred axmen from Michigan arrived this morning. They were at once ut to worlk on the heavy timbers above the ridge. These timbers are being piled up, and as soon as suficiently dry will be burned. The progress of the work at the stone bridge to-day has been more satisfactory than on any day so far, The stationary en- fl““ on the bridge is doing good work, uge masses of broken and bent iron and immense timbers that the men have been trying to move for days, were lifted from their places and moved with ease. Kourteen more of these great helpers have been sent or. A heavy charge of dynamite was exploded to-day and did a great deal of good. It dem- onstrated that heavy charges must be used in order to do any good. Three bodies were found to-day near the stone bridge, and ten or twelve were found in thav vicinity. All the commissary stations ‘were kept busy at Cambria. A vast amount of provisions and clothes have been distrib- utgd. Long Lines of sufferers stood in the heat and rain waiting their turn. No one is furnished without an order, und every de- artment is under the strictest discipline. 08t excellent work is being done here. The same good work is being done at the Ameri- cus club commissary and other places, ‘The hurried burial of the dead in Prospect Hill cemetery is causing the residents of that beautiful suburb of Johnstown a deal of annoyance, and may cause much sickness. The bodles were placed in cheap coftins and noLe were secure. ‘The odor from the decomposed bodies aris- ing to the surface attracts a pack of dogs who make night hideous by their howling and pawing over the graves, The coffins were put only three feet under srnund, as there was no time to dig graves oper, 1t was found necessary to place uards in the little cemetery, containing two undred graves, to drive the dogs away. To-day Dr. Millerinstructed the American club members, who are 1 camp near the cemetery, to secure disinfectants and place it on the graves, thus killing the odor. The first funeral of aflooa victim, that might be truly called such and in which the corpse was taken to the cemetery in a con- vevance, was held to-day. The body was taken to the cemetery in a wagon accom- gnnlcd by mourners in a carriage and & urial service held. There were thirty-five Lodies recovered to- day—cleven of them at the stone bridge. Those taken out of the wuter were in a much better condition than those found among the debris. The latter were not only horribly bloated and distorted in the feat- ures, but decomposition had set in, aud the n!finuh arising theretrom was almost unbear- able. The list of the “unknown” is growing as tho meaus of identification become more ob- scure. The report of Dr. Sibbel, addressed to Dr. Groff, may be given in bricf as follows: “Fourth ward school house wmorgue, June 8.—Boaies received, 219; Pennsylyania railroad station morgue, 182; Mooreville morgue, 128; St. Columbia church morgue in Cambria City, 83; Hayes morgne, 13; Mill- ville, 57; Grandview chapel, 118; Old Ni- nevah (Indiana county) morgue, 56; Ninevah vropor, 2335 total, 1880, ‘The ofiicial bulletin of the state board of health issucd to-day say: “The reports re- ceived last evening from the inspectors of this board show the favorable condition stated in the first report continues. No con- tagious disease of any kind prevails, There are a few cases of a mild type of measles, There are no signs of any epidemic. The bodies still in the wreck ape so covered with eartn not to be dangerous to health. There is every precaution being taken to prevent contamination of the water supply for the towns below Jolinstown. There is no ground whatever for alarm in this matter at present. The weather is cool and favorable, Though destruction of life has been appalling thera is :xln'; any present occasion to be discour- aged.” Mr, Bcott said this afternoon: “Work will continue as it has unul Wednesday, when it will be handed over to the state. Wo have flnally brought sowe Kind of order out of chaos. The work of relief will have to contino until the people can take hold for themselvy When the Cambria iron works and other mills resume, the people will be able to parn sowe money, ‘The great alm at present is to give the survivors work." Mr. Munden, who is in charge of the re moval of the bodies frow the ruin's, says that up to this date he bad found $5,000 in money in the pockets of the victims. ‘The largest sum was §114.° Private Dalzell has written a letter to the Associated Fress, in which he says widows and orphans whose husbands or fathers were drawing pensions on the day of the ereat calanity are entitled to the ucerued pensions due the soldiers at that time, and no more.

Help Needed at Lockhaven, Lockuaves, Pa., June 10.—-At a meeting of citlsens beld to-day @ resolution was adopted, asking md in clearing the oty of debris and filth, Disinfectants are badly needed, and nothing will save the city from a frightful epidemic unless help comes vromptly and generously. Snrgeon-General Hamilton's Report. WasniNGToN, June 10.—Surgeon-General Hamilton, who went to the scene of the late disaster, at Johnstown, Pa., in obedience to the orders of President Harrison, returned yesterday, and immediately reported the result of his observations and inauiries. His report was, to-day, made public. In the report Dr. Hainilton says there is no danger whatever of a general epidemic. Tn conclud- ing, he stated that the charitable people of the country ought not to cease their contri butions of money for some weeks yet. prelthed oadiity ARISTOCRATIC FISTICURFS, The Marquis, ot Atlesbury and His Wife's Paramour Fight. Ponrswovtn, June 10.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Bree.] —The Marquis of Ailesbury has been ordered off some race courses, but the prohibition of the clubs did not stand in the way of his appearing on the course hero to-day. Not long since there stood or the court records a divorce suit en- titled, “Ailesbury vs. Ailesbury and others,” the others including one Riley, once an offi- cer in the army aud now a private gentle- man; but her ladyship made a faux pas to- day. Mr. Riley, who was concerned in the di- vorce suit managed to conduct her ladyship to the grange races, and the Marquis got scent of it. Lord Arlesbury was having luncheon with Major Hesketh, in his car- riage, when he saw his wife and her friend. He watched them quietly and then mixing with the shifting crowd and taking up his post av their outside limits he walked across the course and so got into the member’s pad- dock. 'There were two or three blows struck. Then came a rush to the member’s prom- enade, and the combatauts were surrounded by more than a thousand people. The cue was caught up by the crowd and a multitude rushed to the spot. ‘*‘Police” was the next cry but when the police did arrive they were hustled and jostied by the mob who would rather have been drowned in the moat than sco 8o distinguished an encounter cut short. The marauis was standing on the defen- sive, and if the combatants can arrange a private little ring, I dow’t mind laying aown 0dds on his lordship. Had the combatants a place in anocher part of the field, it might have been fought out to the bitter end. The lords and ladies were terribly shocked, and the police put out their force just in time to prevent the crowd rolling down the moat. Then the marquis demanded his wife, and walked through the crowd, he looking pale and excited and she ditto, though to a more modified degree. Riley was immediately ordered off the course, but the marquis and marchioness were cioscted in a private ayartment until the excitement wore down, and they wero conducted off by Major Dolbear, one of the stewards, They were led to a cab, which drove them off the course. To the press men, who met him at the exit, his lordship gave permission to desc.ibe just what they saw, and to the stewards he cheerily announced that he had brought the mecting into promiaence. et AMERICAN OYCLISTS IN LONDON Received With Distinguished Honors and Sumptuously Entertalned. [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpoy, June 10.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tk Bee.]—The party of thirty American cyclists who landed at Cork, May 27, arrived in London to-day from Ox- ford, and are well quartered at a cozy hotel in Bloomsbury. They report a most cordial reception all along the line, At Birmingham a delegation of sixty local cychsts met them outside the city and the mayor ordered the streets cieared of trafiic to facilitate their triumphant progress into town. At Oxford the wholo party were enter- tainea sumptuously by the under graduates. They will remain here a week, during which their every day is engaged for somo enter- tainment by the local cycling clubs. s Gladstone Bangs the Unionists.

Fruitless Attempts to Wean Her From the Opium Habit—The Bisel Affair—Other Wash- ington News, 513 FOURTEENTA STREET, Wasnivarox, D. C., June 11. Representative Burrows is the first of the speakership candidates to announce his in- tention of making an actiye canvass immedi- ately for the speakership, but the others have been on a still hunt for some time, and it is not probable that-any one of them has allowed any particular amount of grass to grow under his feet. Thore is every indica- tion that the contest for the speaker's chair in the ['ifty-first congress will be so flerce that General Nathaniel Banks, on his re- return to the halls of legisiation with this congress, will be reminded of* the days when he made the fight for speakership, with the aid of Horace Greeley, and at first against what seemed to be overwhelming odds. There is every indication that tho contest will be long drawn out, and no one can say, to-day, whether Burrows, MoKin- ley, Reed, Henderson or Cannon will win. In fact, the claims of the supportors of each of these gentlemen leads to the belief that each will go into the race with very strong backing. The situation has led to more talk about dark horses, and while Farquaher and one or two other northern and western men have beon suggested us possible contestants, tho southern republicans have not been in- active, and there is a decided dis- position to urge & man from their section as o compromise candidate. They argue that the election ofa southern republican as speaker of the house would be a decidedly strong political move and that it would in all probability be fol- lowed by the capture of nnumber of seats from the southern states in the succeeding congress. Represontative Brewer, of tho Fifth North Carolina district, is talked of among these gentlemen for speaker. In #pite of the fact that his district is naturally democratic he carried it in an off year and again in the presidential campaign. Mr. Brewer represents an intelligent constituency and is himself a man who has, according to the claim of his friends, all the clements necessury to make an excellent presiding officer. It s argued in his be- half, too, that he took a leading part in behalf of the Blair bill and that althougn the inter- nal revenue bill which at one time scemed as if it might pass the house, was credited to Cowels, of North Caroling, that Brewer was the man who conceived the idea of substitu- ting that neasure for the Mills bill, and he did more than y one man to advance it as far as it did_go beforo congress adjourned. Mr. Drewer's sclection in the event of a long drawn out contest is by no means out- side the pale of probability, and his selection would certainly increase the republican ranks in North Carolina as well as in other districts in the south where the repeal of the iternal revenue laws are regarded as one of the foremost needs of the age. THE SABIN TROUBLE. The small sectionof vhe social world in ‘Washington is having a great deal to talk about since the announcement in the morn- ing papers of the beginning of divorce pro- cecdings by ex-Senator Sabin, of Minnesota. The ne omes in the nature of o surprise to most people. Yet it was not in the least surprising to those on terms of sufficient int macy with Mr, Sabm as to give them an in- sight to his private affaivs. So long ago as during the senatorial campaign in Minnesota last winter there were hints at unpleasant marital relations, and the senator’s friends were afrad that the outcome would be pub- lications which would be 1njurious to him, but it scems that, contrary to the usual cus- tom, the newspapers have not printed any of 'the details up to the pres- ent time. Mrs. Sabin was an opium eater when she was married. Her husband discovered her penchant for the drug soon after and did all in his power to break it up. He filled the house fuil of her friends, and 1t was on_this account as much other that he concluded to adopt the entire family of the late Delegate Raymond, of Dakola. Instead of curing the discas: for such it was considered, Mrs. Sabin scemed to grow worse and within the last two years has developed a strong mania for intoxicating liquors as well as a morbid de- sire to purchuse everything she saw. It is reported that on one occasion the lady visit- ed a dry goods establishment in this city and ran a bill of about £1,500, which her husband was compeiled to pay and the goods which she purchased are still uncut in their Minnesota home. There is enough to supply the entre family for the _mext few years and still have a surplus sufficient to stock an ordinary dry goods store. Sev- eral months ago it was decided that all at- tempts to break up this habit would be use- less without the employment of strong measures, After a consultation it was de- cided, poth by the senator and Mrs. Sabin, that the best plan would be for the lady to enter an institution where she could have the best of treatment, One of the best known places in the country for the cure of incbriates and those addicted to the opwin habit is located at Flushing, Long Island, It was to this place that Mrs. Sabin was sent. For a few weeks everything secmed to along very smoothly, but it was soon o covered that the chances for nitimate recov- ery were exceedingly remoteand it is sup- posed that on coming to the conclusion that his wife could never be restored to her nor- mal condition, the senator ‘decided that sep- aration was the only course open to him, BISEL WILL BE LIBERATED, It is saxd in official circles that the young man, Otte Bisel, who recently visited Ger- many in company with bis father and was at once seized by the Germaa police authorities, wilt be released immediately. It is stated that some correspondence has passed be- tween the state department and the Ameri- can charge d’ affairs in Berlin and that a satisfactory explanation has been secured and the release of the young man made certain, The authoritics assert that the ar- rest was o mistake on the part of the Ger- man subordinate ofcials, FLOOD REMINISCENCES. The terribie flood disaster at Johnstown has diverted public attention from u great many other matters which will come up for more or less cousideration at an early day, Among other things the report of the de- partment of agriculture on crop prospects for the month of Juue is likely to be widely read. Visitors to western New York and rorthwestern Pennsylvania report that the heavy frost on the night of tne 20th of was far more disastrous in the apple region thao was at first supposed. It is said that in tho heavy orchard wistricts of Chutauqua, Cattaraugus, Erie, Allegheny and Wyowing counties in New York, the freeze was 80 great that more than 90 per cent of the apples were killed. It was expected that the dumage to grain and grass wil also be very heavy, and that the result will be that instead of very heavy crops in these pro- ducts, which were expected two or three wecks ago, the fiulhurmg will be far below the wyerage, and the prices, especially of ap- ples, in consequence, much higher. Mr. J. O, Kerby, correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, lived for several years on the farm adjoining the dam above Johnstown. He said to-day: ‘The dam broke once before. It was about the time of the war, but I can not fix the date exactly, The damage then, however, was not great, as the break was gradual. The water rushed down through Johnstown, and its mostly ghastly effect was the washing out of the cemeteries, bringing the bodies to the surface. ‘Tne fisbing club rebuilt the dam, but did not do as good work on it as the state did, ‘I'be lake is near the top of the moun- tain, its waters low down the Couemaugh WismixaroN Bureau, T Owana Bre, } through the AllogbeT. Ohio and Missis- sippi rivers to the Gulf ot Mexico. Within o gun shot of the lake the streams take their start that flow eastward through the Susque- hana into the Atlantio. The lake is on_the divide between the two great valleys. Half a million people between the lako and the Ohio river derive their Wwater supply from the Conomaugh and $he streams with which it mingles. I dd not understand," said Mr, Korby, “whore réom is found to bury the victims of this catastophe, the cometery at Johnstown on the flat ground is crowded. Johnstown s between two mountains that riso with perciptions walls, Tho ceme- teries have been flooded and washed out by floods. Mrs. Morrill, tho wife of ex-Con- gressman Morrill, was 80 prostratod by the ghastly effects of a flood that washed out the graves, that she died. CONCERNING NEDRASKA. Senator Paddock is expected to arrive hero during the present week. Senator Mander- son is still on aeck, but Nebraska does not seem to be getting any very great number of federal plums, 1t is barely possible that on the arrival of the junior senator the dam which s been formed through the drifting of upplications into the departments may be broken. Nebraska peoplo now here gener- ally believe that the appointment of Egan as minister to Chili is disastrous to the hopes of the more active republicans in that state who desire to represent tho United States abroad. They claim that Egan's services, while valuable to the re- publican party 'as a whole, were not par- ucularly valuable to the state of Nebraska, and that the state could have_been carried for the republican ticket if Mr. Egan had nover set foot upon its soil; furthermore, they hold that the charging of a minister to astate like Nebraska is likely to displace three consular applicants, at *least. Of the twenty registers and receivors in the state only tivo have thus far been changed, It is believed thut upon the arrival of Senator Paddock arrangements for transferring at least half of the others from democratic to republican incumbents will be perfected.

What the Returns to the Department of Agriculture Show. WasmiNeroN, June 10.—The returns of the department of agriculturo show buta slight increase in the winter wheat arca sceded, but the area harvested may be possibly one million acres more. The condition of winter wheat still remains comparatively high, though it has fallen three points during the last month, and aver- ages U3 for the country. Followineg are the state averages: New Yorlk, 907 Pennsyl- vanin, 953 Virginia, 973 Ohio, 88; Michi 90; Indiana, 903 1liino Missouri, Kansas, 08; California, 08, Theurea of spring wheat has apparently increased about 8 per cent. The prelminary estimates show u 10ss.0f 8 per cent in_ Wis- cansin and in Minnesota, and a gain of 1 in lows, 8 in Nebraska, and 7 in Da- kota, and _ an _ increass in the mountain region, Further investigations lose the changes of the year more The coudition of spring wheat is cept in parts of Dalkota, where it has : d from drouth. ‘The averages are as follows: Wisconsin, 86; Minnesota, 033 Da~ kota, 833 Nebraska, 93 lowa, 3.

The area of barley is about tho same as last year, zud its average condition is 95. Ryo miude 1o percentible ad- vance in area, and its general average con- dition is 95. RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE. The General Supcrintendent Deter- mined to Improve It. WASHINGTO! June 10.—The following general order was issued, this evening, from the postofiice department: ‘In conncction with the future management of the railway mail service, the general superintendent wishes to convey to those engaged in 1t his determination to advance its efliciency and usefulness, the accomphshment of which can only be attained by the earncst and intell- gent co-operation of the superintendents and postal clerks. Every one attached to the organization will be expected to perform his full duty, closely observing and obeying the postal laws and regulations, as well a8 the orde and instructions that from time to time are 1ssucd for his informa- tion and guidance. The partial enforcement of the discipline of the service will not be satisfactory, neither can excuses be & cepted for neglect of duty, for irregularities resulting from carelessne: for inatten- tion, nor for misdemeanors of any kind. Clerks are required to keep themselves posted upon ~ distributing assigned to them, to be familiar with the schedule of connections and with the book of instructions; to study the weekly bulletin or general orders prepared in each division, and to closely examine and note the special orders issued by those who have au- thority over them. It is a prevalent belief that iustructions relating to the checking of errors are not strictly followed, and it issup- posed in many instances that clerks have agreed among themselves not to cheek each other, thus defeating the purpose of one of the most essential methods which has been instituted for the better- ment of the general service. It should be understood that measures will be taken to sl ain who disregard these orders and to rerlace them with those who are more dili- gent aud faithful, “To those who perform their full duty and by thieir capability and interest merit ad- vancement every cousideration will be given in filling advanced positions, Particular at- tention in sclection for promotion will be paid to the records for efficiency in distaibu- tion and obeyance to orders and general character, I LAw “General Superintendent.” Oberly's SBuccessor, ‘WasHINGTON, June 10.—The president this afternoon appointed Thomas J.

Nothing Done at the St. Paul Meet- ing to Arrange Rates. BAD BLOOD I1S° PREDOMINANT. Low Freights Wil Rule Until the Close of Navigation—The Trouble Likely to Extend—The Alton is One Anhead. The St. Paul Convention, Cnicaeo, Junoe 10.—|Special ‘lelegram to Tie Bee.]—Absolutely nothing was accom- plished at the St. Paul meeting called to consider the chaotic condition of Northwest- ern rates, except to stir up additional bad blood. As a consequence, the 28-eent pro- portion of the through rate applies between Chicago and St. Paul. In other words, the New York merchant can ship freight from Chicago to St. Paul on a cont basis, while it costs the Chicazo merchant 60 cents. The discrimination is so apparent that the Bur- lington & Northern this morning gave notice that it would put into effect local rates be- tween Chicago and St. Paul, basedon o 45- cent bass, Commissioner Inglehart, of the Chicago Freight bureau, which represents the board of trade in railroad matters, says thoe relief caused by the 45-cent rate will not be sufii- cient. It must be lowered to, af iocnst, 88 cents, The interests of the merchants and the railroads are so nearly identical that the 88-cent rate will probably be made volun- tavily. If not, the freight bureau can easily find means to_compel the reduction. Com- missioner Inglehart said this was tho fiest time in the story of thoe freight bureau that it had asked for a redu rate and only asked now for an equalization of rate: ising the through rate to its proper pro rtion would be equally satisfactory to ago. Irom the amouunt of 1ill feeling existing, he did not think there would be an tto again raise the through rate until navigation closed. One of tho best railroad authorities in Chi- cago said to-day: “The railroads have brought this whole trouble on themselves The St. Paul had no business to try meet the lake rates. It would be mon: the pockets of the rail lines it they would simply ignore those Superior virates, or even allow them the blackmailing differential they demand. The situation is very ous, and is liable to extend to all the Missouri river and southwestern points. No one can fore- sce where 1t will end. Rates are adjusted so nicely that a lijtle hiteh will throw the whole thing out of gear.” e The Alton Gains a Point. CiicaGo, June 10.—[Special Telegram to Toe Bee.|—Is division of trafiic pooling? Chawrman Walker and Midgley, the execu- tive board of the Interstate Commerce Rail- way association, have decided thatthe St. Panl road must divide up its live stock traflic with its competitors, 1f possible, giving the surplus traffic largely to the Alton. Part of the decision reads as follows: ‘‘It appears that the St. Paul road has, during the cur- rent year, obtained a proportion of the live stock trafiic from Kansas City, largely in ex- cess of the share which it should receive in order to effect an equitable distribution, The methods by which these results have been obtained are not important for present pur- poses, 'Fhe principles by which this associa- tion is governed, require that said Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road should ~ restrict its live stock traflic to an an amount mnot exceeding two train loads per week, until the unequality is corrected, of which notice will be given. For the present all other lines will remain open to shippers without change in rates or facilities, 5o far us the division can be properly controlled the benefit thercof should be given, for the time being, to the Chicago & Alton rozd.” The decision further recommends that a joint agency for hundling the live stock traf- fic be organized by the roads interested in the division. It also hints that it may be necessary to make higher rates for the ro: getting too much rafiic. Nog St. Paul officials in Chicago were authorized to state what action their road would take on the decision. A promnent official of the road said recently, howev that the St. Paul people had worked hard for their pres- cut trafiic and they proposed to keep it. A Northern Facifl Cn10aGo, June 10.

Nronrara, Neb., June 9.—[Special Corre- spondence of Tue Ber.]—The character of a country tends greatly to influence capital to develov it. The development once attained is largely sought by the adjacent marts, each having its influence to urge upon these local- ities, thrift and enterprise. Northorn Ne- braska has had many a bright hope smoth- ered by inactivity, and her present growth is greatly due to her people's untiring faith in her rosources. Standing between two com- mercial centers, with Yankwon knocking at the door for recognition, northern Nebraska and South Dakota look towards Omaha for future relief. Tue Bee correspondent has taken exten- sivo circles throughout the north part of the state and South Dakota during the past fif- teen years. He has scen both sections in their virginity and in their present develop- ing state. At those catly times, with grass- hoppers devouring what drouth had not already destroyed, it took strong men to cling to a country they persistently claimed was “God's country, and would come out all right.” The wisdom of such foresight is now proven, and the development that these pioneers have made should be rewarded by the best and casiest markets. Omaha cannot afford to lose sight of her opportunites. She has at least two. Hartington, the county seat of Cedar county, is located in one of the best sections of Nebraska. The Bow valleys are not to be surpassed for fertility. The country be- tween Hartington and Yankton is well sottled by =& thrifty class of Ger- mans, and the distance being mot to oxceed thirty miles, leaves but a trifling gap to be filled by the Chicago,St. Paul,Min- neapolis & Omaha line. The Missouri river reached, and one of the most beautiful citics in all Dakota is found in Yankton, Then up the Jim river which has its headwaters away up in North Dakota, oue of the finest valleys in the world is found. Iandolph is & young town situated in the southwest township of Cedar county, at which point the Wayne branch of the Omaha line for the present terminates. It has been surveyed through a portion of Knox county. In this scction the land is largely owned by HAS HIPPOLYTE CONQUERED? A Rumor that He Has Taken Port« au-Prince. MEN One of His Generals Said to Have Burrendered Five Thousand Soldiers—1wo Conflicts ing Stories, LEGITIME'S DESERTING. A Letter From Port-an-Prince, NEw Yonk, Juno 10.—A letter from Porte au-Prince, dated May 80, gives the followings “Itis stated on good authority that vhe army of Hippolyte is within two miles of Port-au-Prince, and there 1s no douby that in afew days the war will be ended, with the army of the north the victors, Legitime's men are deserting, and at the Grand Daline one of his generals, command= ing 5000 men, surrendered all his force t Hippolyte. It s impossible to say when Hippolyte's army will fall on the town and massacre everyone in it Legitimo has hardly any men to guard the place, and it will be an easy matter to cap- tare it. Most of Legitime's navy are lying in the inner harbor, being afraid if they venture out they will be captured by Hip- polyte's ships. Another Account. NEW Youk, June 10. ~The steamship Allsa, from Port-au-Prince, arrived this morning. The first officer told a reporter he heard nothing of the reported overthrow of Le- gitime. A statement was made to him by two officers of Legitime's that Hippolyte's forces were within seven miles of Port-au- Prince, but the opinion was expressed that there would be no decisive fighting until fall on account of the bad condition of the roads, The Ailsa carvied transferred mail from Hayti, which left there May 80. By this mail advices were sent to a local firm by its Haytien representative to the effect that Hippolyto was within twenty-one miles of speculators who bought it in an early day as “offered” land, paying at the rate of $1.25 per acre in cash or scrip, somo of the latter not being worth more than 40 cents on the dollar. The state ulso selected sowme of its Dest lands in this region, which have been sold or leased, and quite a scttlement has gathered in he The Yankton, Norfolk & Southwestern- has already located through this country, and it is cxpected that the Ran- dolph line will push through that territory very soon. But of all these points Niobrara stands in a position to be of more benefit to Omaha than any other point. At the confluence of two great watery her location for future aid to thestate’s metropolis is beyond dispute. The I'remont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad for the present, terminates at Ver- digris, twelve miles from Niobrara. Oppo- site us, across the Niobrara river, is gaotner garden spot of Nebraska = yed wild oxcept what little has been donc by a bandful of Poneca Indians and white relatives. To the north of us, in South Dakota, a beautiful country and all settled by a torifty class of farmers, is wait- ing for railroad development. On almost a bee line north the Chicazo & Northwestern railroad has a road from the north termivating at Huron. On the east the same company has a road terminating at Yankton: - On-thesouth three roads—Har- tington, Rancolph and Verdigris—stand still with a beautiful country between yet un- occupied. Take the map and it will be seen that the Northwestern system has the key to the situation. By pushing its Huron branch south it would pass through a beautiful sec- tion of country to Niobrara and parallel with no other line. By filling up the gaps as men- tioned in the foregoing list, its connection with Omaha would be complete by two routes, with a country that hasuo superior. ©The people of this section were never in more need of railroad facilities than now, and never felt the need more. The country has so rapidly developed that doubt no lonwer should exist as to the benefits Omaha would re its connections with the vast ¢ between here and there, and still ond, completed. Omaha’s influence is needed, = g JAIL BREAK AT #REMONT. Six Prisoncrs Escape and Only One Recaptured So Far.

Both men were notoriously bad characters.

All of Bessemer Consoliduted company’s mines have aiso been closing down, owing to lack of ready cash. A large number of men are made idle along the Gogebic range by the above suspeusions. - A Foolhardy Desperado. Sr. Louvis, June 10.-—Information comes from Carthage of a desperate battle between the citizens of that place and an unknowa desperado who entered the town armed to the teeth and mounted on a fouming steed, announcing he had come to take possession of tha place. He tired at a number of citi- zons without hitting any ouc, and then rode out of town. A posse followed and captured him, after killing his horsc aad seriously wounding the desperado. e The Agrarian Congress. Pamis, June 10.-The agrarian eongress opened hero to-day. Mr. Saunders was elected American secretary. Henry George made an address, in which he referred to land reform as the starting point of the social reform, clected Lonorary president. Mr, George wus unauimously | Port-au-Prince and that Legitime is still in power. ‘The news brought by the Ailsa leaves the outcome of the Haytien troubles still in darkness, A cablegram from Lon- don, dated May 81, stated that adispateh had been received there from Hippolyte saying he had defeated Legitime, occupied Port-au Prince, and proclaimed himself provisional president. It is considered unlikely. All this ocourred one day after. Hippolyte was twenty-one miles from Port-au-Prince, as stated in the advices already mentioned, and the report fifteen days earlier that the armies were separated by soven miles, makes the matter appear still more confusing.
