MeKibben was in Chicago last week en route to Omaha, but div d, it seems, t| this exposition of his career was coming and returned east. jeneral Manager Dickinson saw him there and at his request secured for the young man from Chicago to this city. At that time he made anxious inquiries regarding the situation of affairs here and what was being said coucerning him. The Omaha Nest. Out on Fortieth strect, near Farnam, in the best neighborliood in West Omaha,stands MeKibben's new residence, now being’ con- structed. When completed it will be one of the most delightful residences in all Omaha. In style of architeeture it is semi-colonial. Tt is large and the elegance of all its appoint- ments is very noticeable. There are two full stories, an attic and a basement. The roof is pitched high, with a long slant from which - protrude dormer windows of varied shapes. A broad verandah entirelos the front. and the southern side half way back, while a narrower piazza runs around the remainder of the south side and the rear. There are fourteen large rooms with high ceilings: there uro bath rooms and every convenienco imaginable. ALl the floors are of hardened and polished wood, the stairways are broad and the balustrades unique. Immense arched windows, from wlich a magnificent view can bo obtained of the surrounding country, formy the front of the house into an ob- 5 an immense carriage arch and all the conveniences and appointments of a mod- ern house perfect in its arrangement. McKibben values this property at $35,000, its actuul cost, but has authorized his agent 10 sell it for $22,000 cash. The Council Bluffs Nest. Mr. McKibben resided at 223 South Seventh street, Council Bluffs, The building is a small brick, two stories high, and contains flats for three families. In the most south- erly of these, the ex-purchasing agent re- sided. The structure has stone trimmings and is otherwise ornamented, the entrance to the McKebben home being an alcove of unique design. The house was furnished several months ago, everything from the white owl mantel- piecce to the clothes pins in the laundry having been purchused at the time. As a consequence, when Mr. MeKibben loft all the goods wore almost as fresh as when they were purehased, The doors of the resi- dence wero locked, the curtains were pulled down, the servants were discharged and for a time desertion held sway within the walls, In the meantime, however, corresponder haa passed between Mr. McKibben and B I Darling of this city with the result that the latter wus authorized to sell the furniwure at auction Accordingly, on Saturday last the salo b wan under My, Darling's - supervision, Hui Trwin of the Bluffs being the auctioneer.

Yesterddy these trunks were scattered through the rooms and the only part of the furnishing which remained unsold wero the carpets. ~ These were of all styles aud rauged from the softest velvet, on " which the heaviest footstep would fall noiselessly to cheap cotton stuff which did service [n the sorvant's apartment.

Mr. Darling was consulted on the subject through the telephone, The doal 014 not seem satisfactory to him becauso “he thought the carpets ought to bring him a higher price.

CROKER- FAKES THE STAND. Tammany E@lfi Leader Appears Before the Fassett Committeo. N — HE LOOKS WELL BUT SEEMS WORRIED. Mayor Grant's Oash Presonts to Little lossio Aéknowledged But a Do- nial Made of Any Previous Utderstanding. New Yong, June 23.—The Fassott senate committoe held a spoctal session here today to take the testimony of Richard Croker, the Tammany hall leader, There was a large crowd preseut. Patrick McCann_and his wife, who is a sister of - Mrs. Croker, were in the audience. Croker did not display much evidence of illness, but looked much worried. He was at once called to the stand. e said that he had come from Europe, contrary to the advice of his physicians. Lawyer Choate read part of McCann's testimony about the money which he said Croker had in his satchel to bribe aldermen 1o got a contirmation by them cf Grant's ap- pointment by Mazor Edson for commissioner of public works, Croker said it was absolutely untrue in all particutars, Ho had gono to McCann's storo about that time, but had not carried a satchel nor any large sum of money. No such sum had been raised for such confirmation nor any since, nor had Grant raised $30,000 for cn purposes, He said he had visited Me- Cann’s about the time referred to and asked McCann if he had heard mything about a rumor that $30,000 had been raised to keep Hubert O. Thompson in the ofice of com- missioner of public works. McCaun thought that Tom Adams, who was intumate with Alderman _ Pierson, might know something about it. He had mot Adams in MeCann’s store by appointment subsequentl but Adams knew unothing of the rum They had noothar conversation. Tammany hall was doing all it could at the time to fight against the reappointment of Hubert O. Thompson and he desired to defeat any efforts made by Thompson to nrrange for a confirma- tion. It was also understood that witness was to get 10 cents on every barel of cement used by the department of public works pro- viding Grant got the nomination He re- membered that Grant had stood as Godfather for his daughter Flossie and had given her $,000 on two occasions in bills as @ present. It was not given by reason of any prlor understanding with Mayor Grant. {The money had been invested 1 October, 1887, in a house for the benefit of the child. = During the cross-examination by Ivins a document was shown wit- h one signature cut out. Croker ad- his signature to it. 1t was an agree- ment signed by a number of aldermen, in- cluding Croker, who swore that they would not as aldermen vote to confirm any” one or pass any bill of moment_without consulting . Ganet, Thomas J. Cremer, Mi rton, G. W. McLane and ‘roker said he did not know whose signa- ture had been cut ont. but presumed it was the name of the man who had possession of it before Ivins got-it, Croker admitted that Florence Scanncll, the murdered brother of John Scannell, was also @4 member of that board of aldermen. Objection was made to this line of ques- tioning by Lawyer Choate, and Ivins made the astonishing statement: “I want to show that the tag ens of politics in Tweed’s time now rule our politics, I will show that John nnell, brother of Florence, is now a mem- of Tammany halland one’ of its moncy sers. 1 will show that James Barker was also a member of that board and w closely connected with Crocker and Tammany until recently convicted of assault. I want to show where part of the money raised went." A recess was taken at this point. After re s took up once more Mayor Gr: to Ilossie Croker. The first : testified, was pre- sented in the ¢arly part of 1885, Did the prescnt create any surprise on your part?" - “Well, of course I recognized the fact that Grant was doing u very generous act. Mrs. Croker took the envelope containing the muu(\[)' from Flossie and put it in the safe.” “Did you buy that safe?” “No, it was bought for me by Mr. Flack.” Croker says he did not invest the money right away because he owned some property which he was trying to sell and he wanted to add this money to that he had before buying any more property. Senator McNaughton said the committee had no business inquiring into Croker's trusteeship of money given by Grant to Flossie Croker. At this rep! plauded vigoro Croker declared that no tax was levied on uny oficeholder for election purposes. The expenses, however, in the various districts were very heavy. Croker did not know what contributions had been made by Judge Book- staver, Mayor Grant, Mayor Hewitt, and other candidates. Mrs. Croker was put upon the stand. She denied that she ever told Cann that Croker had gone to Europe and left her unprovided for, that she had ever said Mayor Grant gavo Flossie $25,000, or that she eversatup all night to guard $180,000 which had been raised to secure Graut's 'appointment as commi sioner of public works.

None of the Passenger Coaches Leave the Track—The Cause of the Accident Unknown—Tho pgineer's Story. A fatal wrock occurred on the Wabash near Silver City, efghteen miles southeast of Coun- cil Bluffs, at 11:30 yosterday morning. The incoming passenger train No. 7, due at 12:15, was ditched about one and u half miles south of that place by the breaking of a flango on one of the driving wheels of tho engine. Tho engine, mait and baggage car went down the bank, but the rest of the train remained on or near the rails, which at that point arc on a fifteen-foot, embankment. Itis a mystery just how tho wrock oc- curred, the engineer, W. D. Rodgerson, being of the opinion that the engine jumped the track and that the flange on the driving wheel was broken oft afterward, The train had just passed over a bridge and was rua- ning about twenty-five miles en hour. En- glneer Rodgerson suys he realizod that they were off just as they left the bridge and im- mediately applied tho air. He then rushed for the tender, so as to get out of the way when the crash came, but instantly turned bacl again and “Sserewed her down tight after which he again sought the tender. When the cn- gine jumped into the diteh the tanik was dis- connected and turned end over end. Rodgerson was thrown high in the air, and when he fell he struck the driving wheels on the upper side of the engine, and onearm passed between the spokes. Had' the wheel been revolving it would have torn oft his arm and probably killed him, but as it was he escapod comparatively uninjured, lis side being bruised and_one hand som what mjured. He will not be laid up for any great length of tiwe. The fireman, Andrew Christ, did parently t death. “The not ap- ble s he cantot, imagine what the firen doing or why he did not try tojump. After the wreck Christ got out of the cab of the engina and walked as far as the baggage car, where he fell.
