Kranxey, Nob, Aug. pecial Tele m to Tur Bee,|—An informal mecting of nber of commerce, real est change and citizens was held at the eity hall this ovening to diseuss the question of urg- ing the B. & M. to build a cut-off to Hold- rege, a aistance of thirty miles, which would place Kearney on the main line. A 1iver of gentlemen spoke in favor of the proposition, and pointed out the advantages that would accrue to the city and the B. & M. if this cut-off should be built. The dis- tance from Hastings to Holdrege is less than thrco miles shorter than by way of Kearnoy. Another proposition was that a councction from the north main line coutd bo made from Broken Bow to Callaway, a distance of _six- teen mi thenee to Kearney over the Kear- ney & Black Hills, thus saving the long haui of Denver freight by way of Aurora. 1Lp v the general expression ol alpfio business meu present that the schome AGutd ve of incaleulable benetit to all con- feerned.

R:ctor Gibsoa read the service for the dead, but his voice was drowned in Thoroughgood’s pitenus appeals to hoaven, As ho wiiked ne kept bis eyes straight above bim. shouting, “Glory to God.” He was assisted up the steps to the seaffold, avertiug his eyes from the noose. After every preparation hac been made for the drop Rev. Jackson asked, “Did you do it: you know what [ mean (" The nogro, on the verge of eternity, replied, “I am not guilty.” Just as the black cap was drawn over his head Thoroughgood shouted, “I am not guilty, thank God, and as I stand here on the sedfold I declare to God I have nevee done injury to man or woman hving have marey on my soul.’ Scarcely had the words ated away when the hatch fell and as the doomed man shot through the trap there was some muscolar contortions, but his neck was broken and he was pronounced dead in six and one-half minutes and cut down in tifteen minutes.

Impossible as yet to Judge the Effect McKinley Bill from the Other Fore News, ol the Pigures Given eign Benriy, Aug. 7.—Consul General Edwards has just finished his statement showing tho value of doclared exports from the Berlin consular jurisdiction to the United States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1501, Tho Berlin consulate general comprises the consulates at Berlin, Bromen, Breslau, Brunswick, Chemnitz, Dresden, Hamburg, Leipsic, Madgeburg, Plauen and Stettin. It is interesting to note figures and compare some of the most important items with those of the preceding year, especially as the Me- Kinley bill has been in force auring the last nine months of the fiscal year. A syuopsis of the exports from the Frank- fort cousular district will also be given below, but us the Frankfort cousulate gen- cral issues only annual roports at the end of each calendar year it is possible now to give only the statistics of the first six moriths of 1501, Tho total exports from the Berlin con- sular district during the year euding June 30, 1501, amounted to §39,753,201, as compared with §06,056,457 for the preceding year, thus showiug a decroase of nearly §5,500.000. Among the more important items are albums, of which $501,431.44 were exported this year, as against $15,643.16 the previous year. On the other land books and printed matter on which, just as on albums an_increased tariff s placed, amounted to §1,020,770.71, thoro is an increase of &351,045.04 over the previous year. Butions and 'button covers showed ouly #44,157.70, as against $I57.183.70 in 185 90, a decrease of almost e and piece goods fell from #5.71 15%0-00 10 &4,045,005.50 in 150)-1. Gloves and hosiery show heavy decreases, the latter especiaily ‘in_the Cheinnitz district. fell from $15,2 T o S11,658,356.42, creuse of over 4,100,000, Tobacco about held 1ts own. 7 The Frankfort consulate general comprises the consulates of La Chapelle, Barmen, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frankfort, Kehl, Mann- heim, Muyence, Municn, Nuremberg, Sou bore, tuttgart and the commercial ageucy at [uerth. In the Frankfort consular jurisdiction the valuo of do- clared oxports during tho six months ended June 30, 1501, was $15,400,301.87, as aguiust §21,507,000.07 in_the corresponding six months of the preceeding year. Braids, bindings and trimmings decreased from 2i%5,518.53 o $614, Bronze powders und leaf metal were exported to the value of F112,041.80, $145,651.97 less than in 1800, Of chirta, glass, porceluin and stonoware over £700,000 worth was exported, only a little less than last year, Of eu de cologne 5,000 worth was exported as agninst $10,000 in 1590. Dies, drugs and chemicals amounted to $4,105,525.60, an increase of $:5,472.30. Fancy goods and toys were $61,i85.80 less in value than in the first six months of 1500, Plate glass, window and mirror gla also fell f 1,000,000 1m 1590 to $200,000 in 1801, America imports from south- ern Germany §I85,000 worth of hair and over 00,000 worth of hops. The lutter article bas increased about 33 per cent this year. Iron ware, steel and cutlery have fallen from $1,(40.545.54 to $002,365.0%, u de- crease of nearly 50 per cent. Linen, cotton and woolen goods amounted to £1,807.056.11, an apparent increase of $219,284.24, butas the item of cloth bas disappeared from this year's statement, whereas last year it amounted to over §00,000, this increase is only a seeming one. Music and musical in- struments were exported to the value of 3120,268.43, Silk goods, velvat, ribbons and braids fell from $1,114,258.45 to §2,041,611.03. Of wines, brandy, beer and liquors Awmerica took during the- last half year §725,460.5 worth. From this mass of figzures it is, however, next to impossible to draw any definito con- clusions as 10 the workings and affects of the McKinley bill. Some apparent decreases m the value of the exports are due to the strict regulations of the department us regards the invoicing of goods at their place of origin. Sucar, for instance, was formerly all in- voiced from Magdeburg by the sugar brokers there, no matter whether 1t came from Ger- wany or from Austria, Now the Austrian sugar must be invoiced at the proper consu- late there, hence the seeming falling off in the exportation of sugar. The increase in the value of certain imports is also always due to increased values. Where formerly in many places a system of depioravle looseness prevuiled and invoices were accepted “ai way," there is now the strictest discipline and watchfuluess. To Consul General Edwards much of the credit of this achievement is aue, Ho started his reform in spite of all opposition and car- riod them through. He was manifully as- sisted therein by overy consul In his distriot. In the southern districts under Consul Gen- eral Mason a similar spirit prevails. Besides the reasons given above other ex- wraordinary civcumstances provent the possi- bility of judeing the effects of the McKinley bill by tho figures given. In anticipation of its passage shipments of all kinds of goods were rushed across the ocean, the American market was overstocked with ¢oods cousequence the first year of the istenco will show a decrease in the exports from Germany to the United States, JULLAN STORIES' TROUBLES. arges That He Hypnotized a Girl to Marry Her.

The keen and growing interest taken in Londou in the fai renders it probable that an iuvitation from the mayor of Chicago to the lord wayor of London, asking him to inspect the site an. proparations for the fair this year, would fin~ acceptance. The queen is discussing among the mewmbers of the council whether the lord mayor could take a protracted leave of ab- sence from offize to go in state to America, Precedents for visits of the lord mayors of London support the proposal. If the pena- ing arraugements result favorably the lord mayor will be enabled to see Chicago ext spring, probably in a semi-privato capacity, and his visit will be a prelude to the presence in state of his successor in 1843, ‘The three weoks naval manmuvres just concluded in the North sea have been keenly watched by every government in Europe.

The banks are enjolned from disposing of bonds and notes, pledges with the bank by Backer, Tho cases in which injunctions wera granted today show strange conduct on the part of Backer, who failed for $1,000,000, and gives currency to the rumor that criminal proceedings may be taken agaiust him, It appears that Myers & Brothers of viin- nah wero in the habit of sendinz Backer notes to be discounted. They sent him notes aggrecating less thau #2000 and sout bonds, uotes and stocks worth 72,000 col- lateral, Instead of using the collateral he bad the notes discounted on the strength of Myers & Brothers creait. Ho informed thom, it is averred, that the collateral was plediged for discount. He, however, pladged the collateral on his_own account aid pock- eted the proceeds.
