Nennaska Ciry, Neb,, Aug. 26— [Special to Tue Bree.|—When Governor r promised in a letter to Jonn C. Wat- son to locate tho Grand Army of the Republie cncampment in Nebraska City and later on named Grand Island as the place he knockea the organization in this cit into & cocked hat. Nebraska City had tho hest drilled and largest as well as the best organized company in the state. When the boys learned they had been shut out, it created considerable confusion and disorganization. T'here is now left only a corporal's guard, but Nebraska City will probubly be vepresented at Grand Island just tho same. Colonel Bills of Fairbury was hero tonight. Company C was called together and aftec a long session it was agreed that the local company should make a sort of a representation at the encampment. Captain Harris has left the state. His successor, General 8. H. Morrison, has not yet quali: fied and says be will not on account of being unable to attend. The first lieuten- ant has never taken the oath of office, conse- quently Johu L. Patterson, second lieutenant, 18 tho only commissioned officer in charge hero.. Patterson is a mail carrier ana cannot possibly leave his post of duty, in fact 1f company C of the Second regiment 15 represented in Grand Island, 1t will be at the expense of tho citizens who donate money to tho membe of tho company who cannot afford to leave thoir work. Fyrthermore, they are disgusted with the manner in which they were treated. Colonel Bills made o speech to the members in exccutive session tonight ‘and another mee will be held tomorrow but it is ng doubtful if tho company goes unless they are ordered to move by absolute e BODIES FOUND. uthority. SIXTY-ON ind of the Search for Dead in the New York Building Wreck. New York, Aug. 26.—The work of looking for dead vodies in the Taylor building con- tinued all night. From midnight until 7:30 a. m. ten bodios were recovered, making a total of sixty. Up to 10 o'clock two more bodies were found. It was impossible to identify many of the victims, as decomposi- tion nad set in. Mayor Grant has appointed a_reliof com- mittee, and money for the dead has com- Tas been roceived . ownor of the building that collapsed. She sends a let- ter, saylug sho wished sho could give more for'the familios of the dead. Tho coroner will bogin an inquest next Monday. The mayor this afternoon received a lottor from tho widow of Thomas Williams, 135 Varick sireet, ouc of the vietims of the dis- aster, in which sho says shois too poor to pay the expenses of her husband’s funeral, The mayor wrote to the Commissioners of Charities and Corrections directing them to provide u coflin, hearso and carriage and to bury the body in Calvary cemetery. The announcement that the search was concluded and the last body had been taken from the ruims had its effect upon the crowd, which with morbid curiosity had elung to the vope that formed the five line. Most of the people wert away and the overworked police breathed signs of relief. Tae Bureau of Incumbrances kept up its work of remov- ing the debris from the streot until 5 p. m., when all work stopped. There stili remained about the spot several desolate women, whose dead bad not been found and who re- fased to believe that there had been a cessa- tion of work of the searchers, Indeed it was a matter of wonder to all that there was so largo a pumber of missing who could not be accounted for, The theory was advanced that owing to the flerceness of the flanios which raged several hours, some of the bodies were entirely consumed, At last the dread uncertamnty 1s over, Every inch of tho black forbidding spuce, whero once tho fated building stood, has been gone over: every bit of debris removed, even to the sand under the flooring of the sub cellar, Tho complete list of the bodies positively tdentified up to midmght is as follows: Leounrd Cole, 45, Brooklyn; John Gibbs, 40, New York; Sarah A.

On Monday GITIY rly of Couny morning she received a letter through the mul from her husband, stating that he woud not be back. The only way she can _ account for his actions is that his mind is deranged. Otners say that speculation caused his down- fall. The amount of his defaloation stated by the bank to be $),000. It has since leaked ouv that 1t will reach much larger proportions. The latest estimate is $20,000 in money and twice that amoant in securi- tes. The bank ofticials are very reticent about the matter, Itis belioved they do not vet know the exact amount of Alberton’s pecu- lations, was first [Mr. Albertson was until & _few years ago engaged in business in Courpil Bluffs.

His wife's parents live in Council Bluffs, and they had heard motbing about any such occurrenve, and hence thought there must be some gross mistake. Some who knew Albertson best have ad- vanced the theory that he must have been attacked while closing the bark, and been cither murdered or abducted by the robhers, thus accounting for the disappearance of both money and cashier, Albertson’s career in Council Bluffs was' such as to establish the greatest confidence in his integrity, and reorts of his wrong doing will not get ready credence. | RALN S — MAKING EXPERIMEN While the Ofticitls Are Satisfied Texas People Are Skeptical.
