Inaxp Tanaxn, Neb,, Sept. 4.—|Special to Pue Bre.) —Notwithstanding that the sham battlo was announced for today, a number of people left the camp for their homes this morning. Last night the wind was intensely cold and this morning a light crust of ico was found in water that had stood out of doors, It was pretty generally believed that tho time for camping out, .vith pleasure, had come to a close, and that a good bonrd house n emereency fire were things in future to be groatly desired. By tomorrow noon the camp will have been deserted. The troops will leave for their respective homes as brown as berries with limbs toughened from exereiso in the open airand with n much greater knowledge of military lifo than they possessed when they went into camp. It is conceded on all sides that at no en campment, of the National guardsof this state has so much been done to ralse the militia above the plaine of what has boen de- nominated “‘the tin soldies They have, so far as routine duties are concerned, been leading almost the life of regular soldicrs, though there has beon a certain laxiiy with t to enforcing their presence in camp dusk. As a consequence large numbers of the men have been absent without leave, and it was not until this freedom had almost occasioned trouble that the commanders thought it necessary to curtail the liberty which they had praviously allowed. [t is also admitted that in the Iirst and Second regiments there is to be foand as good soldier material us can be discovered in any regiment in the Uuited States, Almost a Disturbance. Today a hasty order was issued to a couple of compaues of the Secoud regiment to pro- ceed immediately to Steridan avenuo und hold themselves in readiness to repel an at- tack which it was claimed was_coutemplated upon a big “muscum” situated there. Tho companies responded in double time, [t secms that several of the soldicrs took exception to the character of the show as also to the ac- tions of somo of the performers, and notified the proprictor to leave the grounds before 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The owner met this order with a revolver in his hiand, but tho speeay arrival of the comvanies in question brought hostilitics o a close. Last night the boys took offenso at the ako” of the potrificd womun and notified the fakir to remove before this afternoon at o'clock. The fellow did not wait until today, howover. He loft after dusk last night C. L. Van Ostrom of H company, Second rogiment, left camp today for his homo in Telamah’ on receipt of the sud news that his father had been groved to death by « bull. This morning at tho headquarters of the Sons of Vetorans ull the members of that order wera presented with o button hoto bouquet by the Woman's Relief Corps. The resentation address was made by Mrs, Bochne, past department president of this city. Governor Thayer was tendorad a recoption in the beadquarters of tho Woman's Iteliet Corps, about 200 members of the corps being present. He was welcomed by Mrs. Tisdell and responded in a most happy manner. Tho payroll of the Nebraska National guards wis made up toduy. Adjutant Gon- eral Cols will check to oach captain tho amount due each company, and_the latter officer will then pay his men. The amount required will bo about &10,000.

Fred- erick for the benefit of creditors. The assots as scheduled, consist of stocks for §205.000; tonds for W03 and a numbor of out- standing accounts. Thoe labilitios amount 10 $100,000. ‘The assignment was caused by tho recent faiture of the Columbia O1l comi- pany, which was orz anized three monthe ago with a capital stock of 1,000,000 for the pur- pose of buying out the B.

When the Page compauy ceased to do business it was discovered that the ac- counts would not cover the indebtedness. When the Columbin Oil company failed on account of inability to place’ its stocks and bonds the assets of the Page com- pany were tied up and it was consequently pushed to the wall.

All the morning the people tlocked to the court house and when the doors were opened all that could bo seuted in ‘any manner were cro wded into the eourt room, while in the corridors and around tho doors and windows were packed hundreds who were willing to endure any hardship for the chance of hear- ing even a word. Judge Woolworth of Omaha followed for the opponents in an ablo plea of two aud a half “bours, after which Jfudge McHattan read his charge and at 6 p. m, the case was given to the jury. A great deal of interest is manifested as to what the verdict will b, both from the amount of woney involved and the cetebrity of the leal giants who are engaged in the case.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. o Rusk has today been in receipt of telegrams from different portions of the United States, congratulating him upon the success of his efforts toward securing the admission of American pork into Germany has achieved. The nature of these telegrams the secretary says, demonstrates the wide and deep intorest taken in this matter and their faith that the markets of the country will be ultimately benefited thereby. The first in- spection made under the act of March 8, 18 began about June 28 last and shortly there- after Sceretary Rusk Wddressed ‘through the state department & letter to the Gerinan government, enclosing copies of the act of congress and the inspection regulations by the department nd informing that government that the first shipment of the inspected product would be ready to be made about the 1st day of Sep- tember, Since that time frequent corre- spondence has been had between the Ameri- uand Gorman governments, which finally culminated 1n the agreement entered into at Cape May Point about ten days since. T'ho agricultural department at this time is inspecting about 1,600 hogs per day for ex- port, Secretary Rusk says there can scarcely bea doubt but that the market for our sur- plus pork products will in time be greatly improved by the action of the German gov- ernment. In 1881, the last year this couutry enjoyed uurestricted trade with Germany and France, so far as meat products were concerned, the total yalue of pork ex- ports to Europe was $70,000,09. Tn 1850 the value of these exports was, only £39,000,000, Sceretary Rusk today also expressed himself as havini very littlo doubt that whon fully informed as 10 _its merits as a food article, our corn will find great favor as an article of food in Germany, as a substitute for rye. The German army and the German™ peas- antry—the German peoplo in fact—as a whole, are large consumers of rye bread and, 1t is confidently believed by Secrefary Rusk, that none of our cereals, except corn, will prove acceptable as a substitute for the arti- cle, Secretary Rusk has written to Hon, W. H. Hatch of Missouri that the thauks of the farmers of this country are due to him for his efforts in their behalf, and especially his advocacy before the house of representatives of the Iifty-tirst congress of the meat - spection bill. Not Bised on Reciprocity. CArE M.y, N. J., Sept. 4.—'he president this afternoon appointed % 'S, Durham of Kentucky minister resident and consul gen- eral to Hayti. Mr. Durham is now consul at San Dowmingo, and is a colored man of educa- tion and ability. This transfer was made also on account cf the necessity of dispatch, owing to the presence of yellow fever and the revolutionary troubles. United States Senator Watson C. Sguires held a long conference this afterncon with the president. Private Secretary [Halford gives out the following: Tho negotiations which ended with the withdrawal of the prohibition of the importation into Germany were concluded at Suratoga and not at Cape May Point. The conclusion was reached while the president was at Snratoga by General John W. Foster, representing the United States government, and Count von Munn, ¢charga d’affuires, rep- resenting the German government, and was approved by the president. The removal of the pork restriction has nothing to do with any question of reciprocity, but it is based upon the acceptance by the German gover ment of the inspection of imported meats this government under the law of the last congress. SECRE His Armour's Opinion. New Youk, Sept. 4 —H. O. Armour, in an interview today regarding Germany's action In removing the vostrictions against Amer- ican pork,said: “The effect of opening anothsr markot for our pork products will probably bo to raise the price, though hogs have been pretiy high lately. But too much importanco should not be attached to the commercial ef- fect of Germany’s action, for Gertany was never of specially great value to the Ameri- can pork producer. There may be a little flurry, however, amonz the speculators over the present situaticn however small may be the general effect on tho market.” How it Effects the London Market, LoxDoy, Sept. 4.—The report of the Ger- mau regulations agninst hog products has strongly affected tho Liverpool provision market. The leading merchants are reluctant to seli pending an expeoted vise. The hopo is expressea that France will iow remove her restriction on American pork.

KAxsas City, Mo,, Sept. 4.—Ths history of the gallows tells no more hideous story than that of the execution of Louls Bulling, the St. Joseph wife murderer, at Savanvah this afternoon, Just before the time fixed for tho execution the doomed man shot himself ina vain effort to commit suicide and finally died on the gallows shrioking for mercy and cursing his executioners. Up to a few days ago Bulling seemed cheer- ful and hopeful in the face of approaching death. He had twico before cheated the gal- lows by jail breaking. Ho reasoned that that ehanco still romained and to it might be added two others--commutation of sentence and suicide. One by one these chances faded away. Jarly last week it was discovered that Bulling had planned to break jail the third time, Steel saws were found in his cell and they were taken away from him. Perpetual guard was kept over him aund all visitors were searched before being permitted to enter. ALl means of escape were cut off. Governol # Would Not Interfere Then the doomed man sent for his father and mother und pleaded with them to appeal to the governor' for n commutation of sen- tence. The faithful parents went to Jeffer- son City and had several personal interviews with Governor Francis, but the governor was firm in his decision to not interfere. Still the parents did not lose heart. They made another call on the governor yesterday and pleaded for their sou’s life. The governor would not interpose. Then Mr. and Mrs. Bulling telographed their son the governor's decision and followed the message to Savan- nah. They had an affecting parting from the doomea man last nignt and nover saw bim again in life, When Bulling’s second chance for life dis- appoared he broke duwn completely. When he received from bis pavents tng message that the governor wes obdurate he faiuted, and_was with difficulty revived. Ho wasa confirmed opium eater, and during the night last night he was given large doses of tho drug. It failed o have its accustomed effoct and tho condomned murderor slept less than two hours during the entire night. Vainly Pleading for Mercy. Rev. August Lavake,during Bulling’s wak- g hours spent the tim» in reading the bible and praying, exhorting Bulliug to confess bis sins and Teceive baptism. Sheriff Barry bad set the hour for the exe- cution at 10 0'clock this morning. When he went to the cell at 6 o'clock to prepare the doomed man for the scaffold, Bulling pleadea so pitiful for an extension of a few hours that the sheriff yielded and gave him until 2 o'clock to live. Bulling ate a light breakfast and spent tho rest of the time in pleading with the sheriff for mercy and attending to the religious exercises con- ducted by Rov. Lavake. He still nad faint hove of a commutation, but at noon submitied to the baptismal ceromouny and received the sacrament. Attempts to Cheat the Gallows. When 2 o’clock arrived he renewed his sup- plications to the sheriff and pleaded for “one hour more.” He fell on his knees before the sherifl and begged mteously for mercy, The sheriff granted his vequest. Then Bulling asked for brandy and the sheriff gave him a pint. Injections of morphine were admin- istored, but neither of the drugs had much effect. The sberiff then retired, leaving the murderer with Rev.

The sheriff ran to the cell. Tho priest lay prostrate on the floor. At his side lay Bulling, weltering i his own blood, which flowed from wounds in his breast. He had shot himself twics with a revolver. Tue priest had faintad. A hasty examination of Bulling's body showed that one of the bullets had entered the loft breast, and, glancing from a rib, had passed around his body and came out of his ack. The other bullet had inflicted only a slight flesh wound in his left side. A Horrible Spectacle. He had not lost consciousness, and when the sheriff ordered four deputies to carcy him to the scaffold he cursed and swore at them m a horrible manner. The deputies dragged the struggling man to the court’yard and lifted him upon the allows, He refused tostand and they placed him upon a chair. As ho sat there he presented arevolting spectacle. He was dressed only in shirt and trousers. His hands and face ro covered with blood, which also stained hirt, and blood was' streaming through shoes, whence 1t had run from the wounds in his breast, and formed dark pools on the floor of the scaffold, dripping theuce to the ground beneath. Shricked and Cursed in His Terro Ho cursed and swore at the deputies, cried and screamed for merey, and shrioked in his torror. Tho' sheriff gave him a largo glass of brandy and ho swallowed it at ono gulp. Finally he was told to #ot up and stand upon the drop. He refusod, and four deputios beld him up while the rope was being ad- justed. ho black eap was placed over his head and, yelling, screaming and blasphemin shot “through the opening at exactly o'clock. His neck was broken by tho fall and he died almost instantly. Rev. Lavake bas been arrested for giving Bulling the revolver with which he al- temptod to commit suiciae. Rov. Lavake de- clinos to be interviewed. Bulling’s cell was thoroughly searched last night and no_weapon was fouud. The only persons aduitted to the coll since that time wero @ newspaper man, tho deputies und Rev, Lavake. Suspicion rested upon the lutter and ue was arrested. Who Gave Him the Revolver? Rov. Layaka was interviewed by a reporter this evening vegarding Bullings attempted suicide. Ho said he did not give Bulling the revolver and hud no idea where 1t came from, o wus on his knoes praying, be said, when Bulling fired the first shot. He opeiied bis oves and saw that Bulling had shot himself. ‘e muscular contraction followed the pass ing ofjthe bullet into Bulling's body, he suid douless caused Bulling to dischargo tho re: volvor accidently and the ball whizzed by his head aud flattened itself agaimst the cell door. The priest thought at iirst that Bulling was attompting to murder hitm, but now ho says the shot wus doubtless fived nccidentally. “A third shot from the re- volyer caused Builing's second wound Just before Bulling was hanged and whilo he was being held over the drop by the depu- tios, tho sheviff held a whispered consulta tion' with him regarding the attempt at sui cide.
