Yesterday morning the atmosphero of Creighton was rather blue, but it cleared off and a desperate resolve was made to carry out the programme if 1t had to be done on rafts. At 11:30 thetown was again deluged, this time with humanity. It seomed that what had been looked upon as a aisaster, had really been a bonefit, s the rain fall- mg quickly had run oft with- ont souking up the roads, and the hot sun had soon made them passable At noon the parade formed, which consisted of the speaker, city council, oddess of 1ib- erty and forty-four young ladies on horseback reprosenting the forty-four states, Grand Army of the Republic in carriuges, civic so- cioties, ministers, business men’s carnival. Seventy-nino firms were ropresented and fol- lowed by 216 wagons and carriages contain- ing citizens on the ground. In the afternoon ex-Licutenant-Governor Meiklejoln made one of the most masterly orations ever listencd to in this county, It wns by long odds the most profound in thought und in expression ever listened to fn Creighton. 1t was non-political in its char- acter, and breathing such purity of patriotism and devotion to the country, it scoms that the entire audience caught the infoction and will stop cussing the government long enough to catch a breath anyway. The races on the fair grounds were de- @ clared off on account of the condition of the track. The third game of ball was played between the Browns of Niobrara and th Athletes of Creighton on the grounds, and wis won by the Browns in ascore of 11't0 14 the three runs necessary to win being made in the last half of the ninth inning.

The gatekeen imated the attendance at 11,500, While the wenthar has been most #nfavorable, the old soldicrs’ reunion at Creighton this year will go down 1 history as & success, and while there are many goo towns in Nebrasks, the fact was daemon- strated that there s und can bo but one Creighton, the biggest littlo city in the state. st ter HAIL AT TILDFA.

Two Farmers Drink an Aconite Co pound with Fats NasnvirLe, Tenn., Juty 5.—john Beasley 4 and Azariah Kimbro, two prominent and wealthy farmers, residing threo miles from Murfreesboro, Rutherford county, drank a solution of aconite last evening, thinking it was whisky. Boasloy died soou aftorward sud Kimbro is at death’s door. Kimbro Dbought a bottle of horse medisine fow days ago and on the samo day obtained a bottle of whisky irom lis_mother, usiug a_portion of the whisky Iu diluting the medicine. The bottle of whisky was seut back the samo day, but this fact was not known to Kimbro, who, while preparing to go on a fishiug expedition with Beasley, placed tho bottle of medicine in his vockot, thinking it was whisky. Going 1o Boasley’s residence Kimbro produced the bottlo and suggestod that they take @ drink. Both men drank some ot the contents of th bottle, Kimbro taking a less quantity than Beasloy. In o few minutes Beasloy com- plained ot a burning sonsation in his outh and throat and took somo salt and mustard mixed in waier. Kimbro aiso drank some of tho emotic. Shortly afterward both began to suffor greatly and Dr. Rucker was summonod 10 their aid. Beasley sank rapidiy and died in two bours in_terriblo agony. IKimbro was somewnat relieved by the aid of Dr. Rucker, butis in a very precarious condition, Dr. Murfrea made an examination of the con- tents of the bottle and found that it cou- tained aconite, which hud been diluted with whisky. Beasloy leaves a widow and fou childron. His eldest daughtor, who arrived home today from a visit to relatives in Faxus, knew nothing of her father's death vt her arrival. Beasley was ono of the soading farmers in his county and much sympathy is felt for nis family. ~ Kimbro was one of the best known men in this section. - WILLIAM AT WI DSOR, Breakfasts with t'he Royal Attends Divine Service.

Covvsnus, Ind., July 5.—Thora was a most Qustardly attempt at murder at Hope, this county, lastnight. George Rothrock, 3 young farwcr, well known and respsxcted and re- cently married, was shot three times while in his own residence, three miles east of that place, by William Bullard, who is a very tough character. Bullard drove to Rath- roclc’s residence at miduight, and, on @ pre- tense that some friond was sick, asked him to accompany him to Hope. Raturock disbe- lioved his story und refused to accompany him. Bullard turned to leaye the residence ard Rathrock retired. Bullard then roturned to & window near which Rathrock slept, and which was raised_but the shutters closed, and opened fire. Two bulls took effect, one in the loft arm and the other in the neck, making flesh wounds. Springing from his bed, Rathrock ran from his residence 'and was et at the door by Bullard, who boped to completo his murderous work, and who again opened fire upon him. This’ time the ball entered Rath- rock’s face, below the right eye, and ranged downward and could not be found. This stot knocked young Rathrock down, and, think- ing he had fimshed his work, Bullard fled. Neighvors were summoued, and u farmer by the name of George Huffmaster sent for a physician. Bullard was in o buggy and Huff- inaster was taking across a fleld. Not know- ing Bullard, he asked a ride to town. On the way he' made known his mission, when Bullard drew his revolver and began to fire. Seeing his dungerous position, Huffwaster krabbed his hand and, by so doing, saved his life, but received n builet through his left arm. o tho scufife Bullard received from bis own pistol, either purposely or ac- cidentally, & ball' through his left lung, but the wound is not futal. The wounds of Ratbrock uro thought to bo fatal, as two balls are in his neck and cannot be probed for. While the wound of Huffmaster is very paiu- ful, it is not aangerous. Nothing in all the history of Hope bus so thoroughly ~aroused the citizens thero as last night's bloody work, and os there was a bitter feeling nlready existing against Bullard, 1t is thought he will be lynched. Bullard has boen in bad repute in his home town for some time; and talk was loud against him at the time of the late fires at that place, and sowe very dam- agivg evidenco was secured against him, He is ubout twenty-three years of age and addicted to drink, wnd when und i cuce of it hus always been couside dangerous man, not that he was bold with his meanness, but that he was sulking and deceitful. He is at the residence of bis par- ents, and closely guarded by officers, who will ot permit of his escape. He was' @ re- jected lover of young Rathrock's wife. —-———— MILE RIDING AN ELEPHANT. Frightful Fate of a Child in Its Moth- er's Presence Dexver, Colo,, July 5.--[Spacial Telegram w Tn .] - very distressing accident occurred at Manhattan Beach, a new subur- ban resort near this city, this afternoon. The managewent have an elephant and some other animals on exhibition and a balloon ascension was also being made. 'There was a very large crowd and tno .children were being amused vy allowing them to ride on the elephant, seats for three on each side having been ar- rauged by strappiug them to the animal's back. At last the elephant was led some tnirty feet of the balloon, which was bomg filled, when he suddenly bogan trampling ' and showing signs of foar. The keeper attempted to calm the boast but was struck over the head with the animal's truok. A panic en- sued, during which the elephant ran up among some loose timber near the cages, where one of the children fell off and before be could gt up tho beast turned and placed oue of his ponderous feet upon him crushing out his little lifo in an instant, The other children fortunately escaped unhurt by Jjumping. The child who met so terrible a fate was George W. Eaton, the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Prosley Eaton.~ To add to the horrors of the accident it occurred right be- fore the eves of the pareuts who were agou- 12ed with griof.

E)NISA\' M()RN—IN(L JULY ¢, WORKED THE LECISLATURE, Story Told Oonosrninz the Passags of the Hastings Doficiency Bills TEST WATCHED OViR THZ MEASURE. What a Member of the Ways and Mcans Committoe Tells About the History of the Littie AfTair, to Tue 13 being Hastings Avneny, Nob., July Bk |—The investigation made into the ma nant of asylum for the insane, has, of course, at- tracted a groat deal of attention he A few days ago, a membor of the legislature, commenting upon the story of the passage of the doficiency appropriation for the institu- tion i question, characterized it as a stoal of Keoat proportions ST saw," sald he, *in Tur Bee that least two mambors of the committse on and moans of the house had been bribed. T think the story istruo. If Tie Bue {nvosti- wates the matter still farther, it will find that even more of the membars of thut committes were influenced,’ Tur Bee man asked for more information and he was givan it as follows: *I was a mem- ber of the house committee on ways and means, We bad eleven mewmb Sometimes we wereablo to have a full mesting. Some- times we worn't. 1 can recail all_the names of tiie committes except two. There were Nichols, of Buffulo, chaivman; Gillilan, Lan- caster; Cram, Jofferson; Shryock, Cass; Gafin, Adams; Storms, Nemiha; York: Soderman, Phelps, and Stevens, Fillmore. All these wera present at the meeting at which the committee decided to recommend the passage of £4,400 to pay the deficiency which had been occasioned during the first year of the management, At the first meeting of the committea when the deficit appropriation was reached, I demanded an itemized statement of the deficiency. We were asked formerly 30,000 aud I could see no justification in voting for sich an ex- penditure unless I could be convinced that that amount of money had really been ox- ded, or rather that such a_debt had been contracted in the interest of the state. **Dr. Test was then present. He did not soem prepared for my aemand, and, in an embarrassed manner, said that' he did not have such astatement with him, but that he could easily procure one, und would have it brought from the asylum iside of two days. “Well, we held another mceting. There were nine members of the committe: present. Test was there. 1 made a demand again for an itemized account of the deficiency, but Test simply smiled, looked significantly at a certain member of the committee, and at the same time some ircelevant question wus in- troduced. As @ consequence the demand made upon Test was forgotten, and in a min- ute the matter of allowing the deficienoy ap- propriation for the Hastings asylum was put to the vote of the committeo. Several mem- bers of the commitiee who had bucked with me agninst the appropriation, I was sur- prised to find, at the last moment voted for what I now consider to have been a steal.” +Our side wus outvoted. We resolved to fight ngalust the appropriation on the floor of the house, not because we were not willing to give the fnstitution what it required bt be- cause we wanted to be within the law. The law you know insists that the legislature shall make no appropriation for a deficiency unless because of u catastrophe, and even then an itemieed account is aemanded. We could not get that statement. I concluded there was something wrong and voted against the appropriation. “When the appropriation came upon the house, those who had fought it in committee fought it there also. We showed that the superintendent was afraid to muke an item- ized account, and yet this statement was contradicted by oue racmber of the commit- tee, who said he had seen such a statement. I can produce you four of the eight members of that committe who were present at the last mecting who never saw such a statement. I understand, however, how that was accomplished. We heard that there were a couple of meetings of the committeo hela of which we were not notified. At these meetings there may have been an alleged showin of items, but if so it was to a crowd who had been ‘influenced.’ It was never shown to us, even when we demanded it. “‘We got about fifty votes in the house, but we could see where the manipulators got in their work.” “How large an appropriation would you have favored !’ “Not a penny without a showing. I ex- amined the records of the auditor myself and, to save me, I could not find that the in- stitution had run more than from $18,000 to §20,000 behind. And yet Test asked for ,000 and got it. He worked the deal him- self, although [ think he had a couple of cap- pers with him. 1 know where they dropped some of the boodle that was raised to lobby the thing through and where they. gave away the smap. Here, in my mind, was a deliberato steal of §5,000, tozether with the assessment paid by the Hastings merchants, and you can readily see how much of the sinews of war they worked with, “Dllsay this more, there wus no appropri- ation rushed through with more haste than were those of Hustings. They got what they wanted, Dr, Test, I can safely say, was down there four days and nights a week. And I said a number of times that it the asylum could get along without him for that length of time for two or thre months, I couldn’t see the necessity of hav- ing a superintendert av all.” “Did you ever learn what had occasioned the deficiency " *Yes. When the asvlam was opened, the appropriation was intended to care for onl; 100 patients. It becamo necessary, howove: to shelter 160, The approprintion, 'as a cor sequence, was inadequate. Besides, some of it had_ been expended to provide 'sleeping rooms for attendunts und in other ways to keep the buildinfi from falling down. Not- withstanding [ am satisfied from $15,000 to £20,000 would have sufficed. Yes, I am satis- flod members were fixed and you may refer to me thos® who may think they are sus- pected. 1 am not surprised that a munage- ment so full of trickery and deceit has at last been found out.” —_—— Tennessee Negro Lynched. Trextoy, Tenn., July 5.—News reached hers yesterday that a negro had been killed at Dye, a small town several miles south of here, by a mob of white men. The details of the affair are as follows: The negro, whose name was Thompson, had a quarrel with a white man named Taylor about au sccount presented by Taylor to the negro, who de- nied the account and abused and cursed Tay- lor, threatening violence to him.

A ADJUSTED HIS DEBTS, s Conmection with Washington National Bank. rw Yonk, July 5.—John Silver statos that he has adjusted aud. paid his indebted- ness on the Washington National hank, and in connection with the matter says: “The re port circuluted that I controlled the executive committee and board of directors of the American loan aud trust eompany and am thercfore responsible for the failure of that compuny is absolutely false aad every mem- berof the board knows it to be false, It is not true that [ am responsible for d:bts mad by the trust company to Messes, Bolden and McTicho, who had the contraet for the con- straction of the Decatur, Chesapsake & Now Orleans road. Nor is it true that that railroad company borrowed #800,000 or any other amount from the trust compaay. Tho contractors, Messrs, Belden and McTighe, borrowad that amount on the bouds and stocks of the company. 1t wasnot till then that I became identified with the road and my object in becoming identified with it was to protect the trust company. A close money market last fall prevented the completion of the road, but negotintions are now pending for its complevion, aud there is no doubt that tho trust company will receive all moneys ad- vanced it. [t has boen reported that I was conneetod with Simmons, Classen & Bell in their dealipgs with the Sixth Nuational bank. This is absolutely false. I do not know either Simmons or Classen and never had any dealings with them directly or indirectly. The ouly business transacfions I ever had with George H. Pell was when he wns a member of the firm of Grovesteen & Peli. I wus a costomer of the firm and loaned them money on some of the bonds of the Rome & Decatur road and the Kust & West railway of Alabama, and, like many others who made similar loans' to them, T lost some of it, 1 was not identified with them in the construction of either of those roads. It is not true that I was rejected as u bondsman for George H, Pell in u civil suit brought against him by afirm of brokers. I very reluctantly went.his bond temporarily until” he could procure & permanent bonds- wuan, I was accepted and subsoquontly notified Mr. Pell that he must substituto somo one else in my place, which was done.’” — e THEATRICAL BLAZE, the St. Paul's Popular Amusement Place Timpletely Des royed.
