|FROM YRSTERDAY'S THIRD EDITION, BRUSSELS 1S GOOD ENOUGH Aldermanic Feet Will Not Tread Expen- sive Wilton Carpets, CONDITION OF THE CITY'S FINANCES Comptroller Olsen Submits a Statement to the Councll- Money in the Different Funds—Eievonth Streot Viaduct Re- o PAIFS Discussed—Other Business. Last Tuosday night when the council ad- journed the members repaired to their re- spoctive homes, baing fuily convinced that the time was not far distant when they would stand upon Wilton carpet in the coun- cil chambor, ‘Thoy will, however, do nothing of tho kind, for the Wilton, which was ordored at a price of §690, has gono glimmer- ng. When the council convened last night, Mr. Specht was about the first man who caught the eyo of Mr. Chaffee, who held the position of president pro tem. Ho ut once moved to roconsider the action of the council in vrdering Wilton. He said that he did not think it was the propar thing to make a par- lor out of the council chambver, The council, he thought, could purchase a good five-ply Brussels and save the oity just $346, and that tho carpet would last five years. There was some talk, and when the vote was recorded it stood 8 to 5 in favor of re- considering. T'hat settled it, and then Mr. Munro moved that the comptroller bein- structed to enter into u contract with the lowest bidder on Brussels. Mr. Tuttle moved to amend by substitut- Ing matting. That did not suit, so the whole mattor was referred to the committee on public property and buildings. Comptroller Olsen’s Report, Comptroller Otson submitted the following roport upon the condition of city finances: CITY COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, OMATIA, Sept. 2,—To the Honorable Uity Council: Gentle- mon--Tno charter demands that I shouid, from time to time, communicato with yous honorable body in regard to the condition of the finance of the city, and I shail state to you the condition of the various funds as they appear to mo after seven months of this year have passed by. The firo fund, potice fund and library fuud aro all in very good condition, it no oxtra heavy expeuses occur for the remainder of the year. The city entored into u contract for the cleaning of the streats, and if the contract iv carried out thero will ba & shortage in the curb, gutter and cleaning fund of about 81,600, aven if no other expenditures are charged to this fuua. “Tho sewer maintaining fund has been drained neavily through unavoidable ex- penditures, and there will be shortage in this fund no matter kow carefully it is con- dueted. *“I'he park fand proper 1s in & most excel- lent condition, only a little over £,000 having been expended so far out of a fund of over 45,000. In the park fund for the purchase of park lands 15 still a balance of about 177,000, A o judgment fund has boen heavily dramned; outo® a fuad of over §38,000 there 18 oniy left $3,000. *If the wator rout for the last half of the goaris vot greatly increased there will be some £10,000 or §12,000 left. “In the paving bond fund remaius $5,511.75 after wnot I have certitied to for intersec- tions. And in the sewer bond fund remains $13,496.66 after what I have certitied to. In the city hall fund will be left fully $20,000 after all contracts enterec into are provided forand such various things pro- vided as I think necessarily must be dono, such as architect fees remamning unpaid of about §7,000, if his oills are allowed, zbout 8500 for globes for electric lights in city hall, avout $3,000 for changing the entrance, car- pots about, 5,000, blinds $900, gates £500, and say ubout $2,000 for little extras. “Tho dog fund 1s in a most excllent condi- tion and at the end of the year there ought 10 pe from §1,500 to §2,000 loft. “The Board of Hoalth fund was ot the beginning of tho year $,208.57 and thore is remaining to date only $2158.08, You will see it will necessarily run short. “In the lighting fund thero was st the beginning of the year about 46,000, now only remaining about 815,- 000, and even if the expenses of this fund are nou increased, which they are, it would leave shortage of about 5,000 &t the rate we have been paying neretofore. Condition of the Sub-Funds, “Now as to tho various sub-funds of the general fund, the mayor's department will have money left, as no clerk was en- gaged unul last month. The city council will be apt to run short a few hundred dollars of the fund set aside for its expenses, even with the most careful management. The fund set amside for the comptroller's department will hola out, us a clerk has begn aispensed with since April, and will be done as long as it possibly can be. With very careful management the fund of the treasurer’s department will hold out with the present allotted force, either by ordinance or cesolution. T'he city clerk’s de- artment will necessarily run short about 00, caused by the stenographer being charged to tnis aepartment this year, whereas previously it was charzed to a special stenographing department. The legal departent will keep within the fund set aside for It, and very likely have a swall ce at the end of the year. “There remains in the engineer and sower department fund §12,150 81, and according to the estimate of the city engineer it will cost about §15,000 to run the remainder of the ear, leaving & shortage of about $3,000, 'bis not including the reconstruction of the Leavenworth street sower, which will be about $300, that should be taken out of the alreaay heavily drained sewer maintaining fand. “‘I'ne Board of Public Works department may, by careful managemeat, manago to get along with the appropriation et aside for it and the sidewalk inspector. ‘As for the street commissione: depart- mont, for which there was set aside alto- gether §25,000, tbere remains in the fund $4,- 200.69, and 1% is evident that it will have to cut its force very materially if this small amount must carry it through the prescnt ear. 4 “In the fund of the superintendent of building and plumbing there1s only $4,200.86, and the superintendent estimates the ex- nditures for the remaining five months at ,500. This would leave a shortage of about #$1,300, but I think by cutting down the force in both departments this might be avoided. As s matter of fact, for the first seven months of 1891 there were 831 building per- mits given, with fees amounting to $1,929.50, and 10 1893 for the same timo there were issued only 816 pormits, with foes ot only $1,743, and the salarios paid = for iuspection . in 1801 for this time wore §3,046.15, and in 1802 for the samo time were #5,750.02, thus show- ing an expenditure in saluries for the first soven months of 1892, in excess of 1801, of $704.47, notwithstanding that a less amount 2 permits were issucd and less fees wero re- celved; bowever, I shall romark that auring this time the city bas suved the salary of an assistant arohitect for the city hull,” which work bas beeu performed by the superin- tendent of buildiugs. Where s Saving Was Made, “Of course, In the plumbing department there has been @ saving in suluries on account of the two oftices belng consolidated, *“I'he police court fund, voiler inspector’s fond, license luspector's fund, veterinary fund, appraisers’ fund, sergeant-at-arms’ taud, bospital fund and feeding prisoners’ fund are all in good shape. ) thu gas luspector’s fund will be left , and il this official is ullowed 335 per month for horse hire, without which it is impossible for him to properly do his duty, there will still be money left in the fuad. “lo the advertising fund, rent account fund, mm?lllnw tax listfuad, suverintendent of cfty nall fund, there will be money left at the end of the yoar If DO exira €xpense oc- ours to drain these funds, “In the fund forelection expenses there onlv remains §3,025.55, wud tbe city clerk computes the expenses for the fall election &t §16,000; this would leave @ shortage of over £11,000, but he, however, in his comput ures 0 for esch registrarat eacn day's sitting. “'In the balauce of the s lefv out of over §i, eneral fuud there ouly §52,000, and THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1892- -3IX'EEN PAGES ' out of this amount we have to consider to bo | takn thee shortaze in 1he lichting fund, at the very least #5,000; the shortage in the various sub-funds may be made up from what will be left over from some of the othei but there certainly will be a shortage amdsanting to a good many thousands of aol- s in the election fund, no matter how we figure 1o pav the registrars, And if the Eleventh street viaduct mast be repaired this year thore will be another expenditure of probably $15,000. ‘1 have also to date certified to grading contracts, of which the city’s share amounts o $5,806,04, and the city's share for new eiection booths will be #2,118.50. It wovld heip vhis fund, of course, if we could collect the long overdue road fund tax coming to the city from Douglas county, and wa have also coming from the Nebrasks Central railway for election expenses in the neighbornood of #3000, which shoald be collected. Taking it as a whole, 1 hove we can pull through with- out making an overlap, but the city will huve to be vory guarded ana careful in all expen- ditures to do so and be able to collect what is coming to us, otherwise we must run short.” 4 Eleventh Street Viaduct Repales. The committee on viaducts and railways submitted a report approving the action of City Engineor Rosewater in closing the Eleventh street visauct. The report urged speedy action in repairing the structure and recommended the adoption of the engineer’s report, in which he favored the repaving of the floor with creosoted wood. Mr, Lowry thought that, temporary ar- rangements could bo made’ by which the bridge couid bo keot open. The matter was raferrad to the conmittes on finance and the comptroller to see if funds could not be Jocated, which could be used in repairing the viaduct. he city engineer and the city attorney were instructed to roport an ordinance look- ing into the opening and widening of Fif- teenth street from Valley street to the north line of Park Forest. Mayor Bomis named Joseph Baiiey as as- sistant boller inspector for the American Casualty Insurance company. The appoint- ment was contirmed and his bond in the sum of 3,000 was referred. George W. Ames and T. A. Creigh. having resigned as appraisers to assess damages arising from the proposed construction of the Fifteenth street viaduct, H. G. Clark and George J. Pau! were appointed to fill the vacaucies. The ordinance ordering the grading of Toirty-filth avenue, from leavenworth stroct to the north line of [Elus place, tne city to pay the one-halt cost, came up for passago, Mr. Monroe raised the point that there was 110 money in the gradicg fund to pay the expense untii such time as the county turned over tho city’s share ot the road fund. The ordinance then went back into the hands of the comuaittee, to be held until tne roaa fund question was settled. The ordinance ordering the change of grado of St. Mary’s avenus, from Twenty- fifth to Twenty-sixth street, at a costof £6,500, was recommitted to the finance com- mittee ard the Fourth ward delegation. By resolution the city offices were ordered closed all day next Wednesday in order to allow the officials and employes to attend the State fair. . Mr. Milton Nobles enjoys the rather un- usual distinction of writing all his own plays and of baing reasonably successful both as a player and a playmaker. If not a genius he 18 versatile and the public bas & snug corner in its estimation for him and his. At the Boyd last evening one of his new plavs, “A Son of Thespis,” was presented to Omabans. Most of the members of the supporting company were just getting ac- quainted with their roles and stumbled in their linos. 'I'he action was a bit tedious and some of the scenes seemed interminable, but these are defects which time will cor- re Mr. Nobles carries the role of a tragedian famous before the war, who marries a Now York banker's dauzhter and becomes his secretary. A forgery is committed, circum- stances point to the secretary as the guilty man and he ealists in the army under an as- sumed name. He forsakes his wife, whose faith in his innocence wavered, and at the close of the war he wanders iato the west and becomes a baru-stormer. 4 Eighteon years after his disappearance the drama brings the tragedian, his wife and a daughter (born after his disappearance) to the same.mountain summer resort in Now England. The voung girl persuaaes the strolling actor to take part in an amateur performance in honor of her lover's birth- day. For that purpose the tragedian uses a sccue from a war drama he has written, which paraphrases some of his own d history. in this play within & play he represents a coiouel who has come home to be coufronted by his forsaken wife and a daughter ho knew not of. His truo wife, who 1s in the little audience, recognizes him on his entrance, assumes the place of the amateur in the mimic play and is reco nized by her husband. the tragic colonel, who 18 overcome by the sho2k and thrown into & delirium. Of course he has recovered in the lastact and bacome reconciled to his wife, and the forgery 15 placed at the door of the real eriminai, Villaitiy has fittle place in the drama be- yond giving it its origival motive, and the action of the play 15 almost as quiet in its development as the pastoral scones among which most of it takes place, Itisromantic, with a byplay of love and dashes of comedy, but after ali the fate of the unfortunate tragedian is the dominant element. The role as interpreted by Mr. Nobles is pathetie, but gentle and at no time harrowing. In his characterization of the tragedian whose memory lives in happier days, he escapes the temptation to curicature and presents a character study admirable in conception aua excelleat in portrayal. It is really wonderful how well dainty Dolly Nobles retains her youtbful freshness all these years. Her role was that of the 17- year-old daugoter of the tragedian and she played the ingenue with charmiog vivacity and eraceful, girlish sprightliness. Mr. Nobles seems'to have a company of compe- tent people, who will give him adequate sup- port when familiar with their work. The plsy is touching without being violent, and, whilo not remarkably original or powerfal, reaches tender sympathies, and is calculated 10 please the averago audience. —————— TWO TRUSTIES ESCAPE, Short-Time Prisoners Levant from County Jall Vis a Conl Hole, Last evening between 9 and 10 o'clock two prisoncrs escaped from the county jail via the coal hole route. One was H. Kruger of Valley, Neb., serving a thirty-six days’ sen- tence for petit larceny, and the other was W. 8. Duicher, a United States prisoner ar- rested at Hooper, Nev., not long since for countarfeiting. The two men wera considered ‘‘trusties” and for several days past had been assigned to the laundry and steam room. Lheir duty was 10 keep up the steam for the laundry and to run the heaters for beating water for the morning scrubbiog. Consequently thoy were allowed to sleep in the basoment near the engines in order to keep tho furnaces golng aud so s to have ot water by 4 o'clock overy morning. Deputy Ernest made his rounds at 9 o'clock and the men acswered to the call. Then Jaller Beunett arrived and he und the deputy put the prisoners to bed. While this duty was being performed the two ‘‘trusties” proke the staple from the lock of the coal hole aud after lifting the iron lid they emerged into fresh air and freedom. ‘After locking up the prisoners another trip was made to the steam room and the discov- ery was made thut the two birds had flown. Word was at once sent to the city juil and every officer on & beat was given a descrip tion of the escaped prisoners and ordered to koep & sharp lookout for thom. e East Omaha Republicans Organizing. The Republican club of East Omaha, organ- 1zed two weeks ago, mot last evening aud elected permanent officers as follows: F. Crawford, president; K. L. McFayden, secre- tary; D, Young, treasurer; execulive oom- mittee, Crawiord, Young, Sidener, McFayden wnd T, Anderson, Nineteen new members were earolled, makiog a mewuorsbip of forly-six for b6 club. A committee was appointed to arrange for yally sud sacure spaaiers for the occatlon. The rally will probably be held some time vext wook. The commitiee on pole raisin, reported that the plan suggested was feusi- ble, and that the president, secretary and treasurer solicit funds to bear expenses. It was decided that no dues be charged to mem- mers, but that expenses be met by contribu- tion.

Members Bulla and Jones were absent from the Board of Education meeung last night. The committes on supplies reported that they had done nothing as yet, although sevoralchairs, clocks and other articles ara needed for the schools bofore they open Tuesdav, President Cheok thought the committee work of the board was very poorly attended and there was altogather too much dilly-daily. Pearl of the committee was in- structod to pirchase the nocossary supplies. The members of the board resolved them- selves into a roasting committee, and C. M. Hunt received the benefit of the major por- tion of the deliberations, Mr. Hunt has leased tne board a building at Twenty-fourth and H streets for school purposes, and prom- ised to ropair the building and grounds. A few repairs have been mane, but the general arrangement and condition of the premises are anything but satisfactory, Janiior Me- Auley was 1nstructed to see Mr. Hunt and request him to make a few needed improve- ments, The coal question came up and was dis- cussed at lengtn, The dealers will be in- vited to offer bids for furnishing coal for the schools for the year, aud all coal purchased will hereafter be \eighed upon tho city scales. ‘The estimate of the amount of coal needed is about tive tons per week for the High school, 2,500 pounds euch for the Brown Park and Fourth ward schools, aud four tons for the Third ward. The Albright, Missouri avenue and H street schools are heated with hard coal and no estimate was made. Hereafter all adjourned moetings of the board will be held Monday evenings. ‘The World's fair educational committee sent in a communication calliug attontion to the Columbian national memorial celebration to be held in the schools of the United States October 21, and urged the board to securo somo merchaut to furnish the badges for the scholars, o design of which nas been adopted by the committee, G. W. Raworth was elected janitor of the H stroot school. This school is for first grade scholars north of J and eastof Twenty- seventh strect. In Error, As Usual, An up town evening papar prints & para- graph which says that the masous employed upon the new buildings at Swift’s went out on a strike Thursday night, demanding 5 cents per hour increase in their wages, This statement is untrue, and probably originates from the fact that a small number of the men employed upon the stonework were laid off Thursaay evening, and a few more ceased work to secure other work which will Jast longer. ''here have been smployed about fifteen masons upon the foundation for the new addition o the slaughter house, but as that is nearly completed the reducing of the force was a necessity, and there has been no dispute, whatever, raised in regard to wages. The statement that the yards aro closely guarded oy officer;s and no one 15 allowed to approach is denied by Chiet Garrett of the Swift police force, wio says no guard is placed there and no one is molested, unless be be a loafer, who has no business there. Pleasantly Eatertained. The Masonicv hall was crowded last even- ing with a thronz of peoplo upon pleasure bent, aud they found it in large quuntities. The occasion was the social and entertain- ment given by Alphalodge, Daughters of Re- bekah, and 1t was a success in every detail. The evening's entertainment was opened by the carrying out of a well prepared literary and musical program. Refreshiments were then served, and all turned to wi'h a hearty will. The lodee hall was cieared of obstruc- tions, music was on haud and all who de- sired found pleasure in & dance which lasted until late, Mischevious Youngsters. ‘Warrants have been issued for the arrest of Fred and John Bedura and Joe Hop, three young boys who reside with their parents in rown park. The complainant is Mrs. John Gramolich, who lives at Twentieth and M1 roy streets. She says tho boys have bothered hera great deal of late, and have almost completely ruined ber garden and yard. She wauts the boys arrested and taugnt a lesson that may be beneficial to themselves. An ofticer has the warrants and will serve them today.

We count not age by years: He whose heurt beats quickest lives the lonzes Lives inone hour more than In years do some, Whose blood siceps as, it siips along thelr veins.' The question that men as a rulo are not as attractive physically as men were twenty years ago is one of great importance. You may say that we are citing young men whose age would indicate that time will rem. edy the nurrow chests and lack of height But is not the rrame the same at 20 as at 40+ Iucrease of flesh may cause a bulky change. but that is not desirable. Coluwmn after col umn is written to the ladies how to increas® the charms of person and mind, but why should not the young mer of the day who find that nature has not been lavish with her giits of personal attractions endeavor to cui- tivate by proper exerciseand care that which they may possess! Exercise of the right kind is most conducive to physical develop- ment. Ride the wheel, it will increase the length of limb; row, it will give increased breadth to the chest; exercise with dumb bells, it will increase the size of the biceps; above all, don’t neglect to take long walks, it keeps down undesirablo and surplus flesh. Ana as for the muddy complexions, so ofton noticed among young men of the day, nothiog is so beneficial as the Turkish bath. Don’t be afraid of hot water—it1s your best friend. But let me whisper a little secret to you. boy: A woman will forcive a ereat lack of pbysical charms to one who possesses the divine art of being cheerful. A pleasant smile will beautify the homehest face. Smiles are the’ silent and universal language of good nature. Should we by chance be stranded upon an unknowa shore among peaple whose tongue was foreign to our ears. smiles or frowns would teil us enemics from friends. A cheerful man has alwags friends.

The court said somewhat signifi- cantly thatit did novcare to discuss the question, although it was raised 1o the case at bar. The defendant in the case is & convicted horsethief trying to get outof serving a term of cight years. He makes tho point that women were not called to sel on the jury which found him ewlty. The coart answered that if a grievance exists it is with the women themselves and not with the prisoner. Women have served as jurors but once since Wyoming became a state and then only in police court where a servant girl sued ber mistress for wages. In the old territorial days women were jurors In crim- iusl cases quite ofton. The large art schools of the country Rig- nificanuly ingicate the direction art is taking, writes Mrs. Susan N, Carter in the Norih American Review. Among them the wo- man’s art school of the Cooper Union affords a suggestive example; and 1ts sister schools throughout the country tell the same story of the broadened intellectoal hfe of women. When we allude tothe schools of Boston, Philaaelphia, San Fraocisco and Washing- ton and mention the new buildings that have lately been erectea for museums and schools in Minneapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago, and speak of the art departments connected with Harvard or Yale, in which women have equal opportunities with men for study; to say nothlog of the studios filled with art collections at. such women's colieges as Vassar, Wellesley and Smith, we see how largo @ field art now occupies: without counting the myriad children now learning to draw 1o tne public schools of the Uanited States. Not even the change of season can affoct the popularity of the shoulder cape. In sum- mer it is a flufly thiog of lace, with a flutter- 1ng of ribbons at the peck. in the winter it is of fur.

New Yonrk, Sept. 2, —Thers seems a prob. ability of a clash of authority arlsine bo- twoen the federal government and the state authorities represented by Dr. Jenkins. The recent order of the president forbids any vessel carryiug immigrants to enter port until twenty days quarantine. Dr. Jenkins sald he would use his discre- tion about keoping a vessel in quarantine for twenty days. If he saw fit, he would quaran- | tine a vessel more than twenty days, or less. He claimed that he had full authority, and that the president’s order could not affect him, or cause him to do othorwise than his judgment induced him. “I don’t want to be understood as defying the chief executive,” said De. Jenkins, *'I snall do all in my power o assist the national authorities to keep cholera from ontering the country, but I certainly think I have the right by virtue of the authority delegated to mo as health oficer of this port, to decids on the number of days that a ship shall be kept at quarantine, I realize my responsibility with reference to the city of New York just s much as the president realizes his rospon- fibility to the country. Conditions might be such that a quarantined vessel could safely be released in five days, ana again if disease kopt breeding, she might be detained a vear.” Federal Power Will Prevall, Collector Hendricks said he did not think Dr. Jeukins would bring on & conflict be- tween the federal and state authorities, If suck a thing should arise the federal power would prev4il. No vassel can land pass- engers or cargo until the vessel is entered at the custom house, and Collector Hendricks will act according to instructions of the Washington authorities. The first symptom ef the overriding of Dr. Jenkins’ orders was when tho custom house officers were withdrawn from the steamer ty of Berlin shortly after her arrival in tho early afternoon. The withdrawal of the fed- eral officers naturally prevented the declara- tions of the cabin passengers being made, all of whom Dr. Jenkins had intended should be allowed to land today 1n the same manner as those of the Lahn on previous days. There was some discussion over the matter at quar- antine, but in Dr. Jenkins' absence nothing further was done. At 4 o'clock the Thingvalla steamer Ice- land, which had arrived ic_the forenoon, was given her clearance by Dr. Talmadge. She had arrived from the ports of Copen- hagen. Christiana and _Christianlend, with fifty-eight cabin and 571stevrage passongers, The latter wero all Scandinavians and had not been near any infected port, so after toeir fumigation on board the vessels she was allowed to proceed. At 5:45 she returned, having only reached as far toward her dock as Liberty island, where she was stopped by the revenue cutter and returned to quarantine. Dr, Jenkins was still absent and shortly before his return to quarantino the revenue cutter returned to quarantine, released the [celand and placed officers on board the Gallia, with orders to allow the cabin passengers to declare their baggage and land in the barge that would be sent down touight. Under Orders from Secretary Spaulding, The rescinding of the port collector’s orders was done, owing to & communication from Assistant Secretary Spaulding to that effect. Toere was, of course, much discus- sion as to the action that Dr. Jenkins would have token had the lceland and Gallia not been released. Dr. Jenkins said to the representative of the Associated Press that having once granted a vessel pratique, he should not grant her a second, and thav if the col- lector choose to return a vessel to quarautino for twenty days, it was the duty of the general government to look after it and take charge of them, He said he thought, how- ever, that the circuier of the prosidont had been mlimwrfmwd‘ by the collector and many others, It specially stated that it was not to conflict with the state rezulations, and that it was chiefly meant for certain ports where there were no stato authorities, and where the ports were in chargeof the marino hospital force. A report from the Moravia late this after- noon states beyond doubt that the health of all on beard 1s excellent. Thera has been no sickness of any nature on the vessel since she arrived. Health OMcer Jenkins, Quarantine Com- missioner Allen, Deputy Sanborne and Drs, Milliken and Salikup visited Hoffman and Swinburn islands this afternoon and reported evervthing moving along satisfactorily at both places. Up to the present the efforts of Dr. Byron to obtain bacteria from portions of the foul hinen taken from the infccted steamer Moravia have been unsuccessful. Awaiting Their Coming, As the sitaation is now, tho eyes of the quarantine officials dre constantly wrned seaward, awaiting tho arrival of tho Normanma and Stubbenhuk, both from Hamburg, the Rugia from Havrs and the La Bourgogne from the same port. Several other big mailers are due tonight and tomorrow from English ports. They are regarded with suspicion. Itis feared that the four vessels from Hamburg and Hayre will havethe cholera on board. If they do not, a weight will be lifted from Dr. Jenkins’ mind. The steamnea Veendam, from Rotterdam, has been released from quarantine, The Norta German Lloyd steamers, like most of the other lines, will not handle steerage passengers. ¥resh Cases at Berlin, Sept. 2.—No fresh case of cholera bas developed here during the past twenty- four hours. Precautions and proparations against a possible choleraic outbreak, how- ever, are not relaxed. The government has puechased its entire stock of portable hos- pitals from the corps of the Red Cross society and, notwithstanding, is unable to meet re- quests from all parts of the country for hos- pitals. Comparisons of Hamburg death rate figures for different days show that of those persons attucked witn cholera, three days 8go, one out of two died, while now only one out of five dies Toledo, In., Citizens Excited Over a Fatal Shooting Aftair, Cepar Raris, Ia, Sopt. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—There is great ex- citement at Toledo.

D, Sept. 2,—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|—William 8. Dany camo into this city today, bringing with him sev- eral thousand dollars worth of zold nuggets and & number of specimens of ore fairly bristling with particles of go:d. Dany is @& prospector and clalms 1o have found the celebrated “Lost Cabin’ mine, of which so much that is romantio has been written &nd printed in every modern language. His story is that two weeks ago, while hunting in the western purt of the Black Hills, he stumbled iuto what he at first supposed was a small cave, but which, upon subsequent investigation, proved to be a room 20x30 feet and ofan average helghth of seven feet, rudely hewn outof solid rock by huwman hands. This room he first discovered to contain the skeleton of a human being which, exoit- ing bis curlosity, induced a search that was rewarded by finding gold nuggets of an ag- gregate value of $25,000. The place was many miles fromsettlement and he remained unul 8 week sago, searching for the mine from which the nuggets came. He claims w have foun it and states the ore he has was taken from it. The fact that Dany had so much gold with him lends plausibilivy to the story, which isjcre- allog @& great deal of excitement and will ©8USE LUWErOUs Prospectiug parties Lo SLart out tonight. It {8 not probable they will find the mines, howover, as Dany refuses to lo- eate it any more definitely than by saying it is about fifty miles from Derdwood, 1n tho western part of the Black Hill: flbitadd ~iolks ey OFFENDED HER MAJESTY.

York city charged a gang of youug feliows who had been bothering and stoning them and killed one of them, Michaol Broderick, aged 17 yoars, as he was climbing a fence, there was no thought of serious complications, but now it appears that Broderick's father {s a British subject and the boy was under British proteciion as a minor, Tbe shooting stirred up intense feeling in the neighvorhood where it oc- curred. Bitter speeches, it will be recalled, were made at the mass meeting held to take uction upon the unfortunate affair, The investigation now bolug made by the coroner is being closely walched and great pressure wiil certainly be brought to bear upon the authorities to make tho investiga- tion. District Attornoy Quiniey has an nounced it as bis opiuion that the shooting was unjustifiablo homicide and has signifiea Lis readiness to prosecuto the soldier who did it if he can be identified. Some of those who have takon up the Brod- erick caso will bring the facts to the atten- tion of Sir Juilan Pauncefote, British minis- ter ut Washington. [t s probable that he will submit the faocts to his government and the killing of the boy may thersfore become an cident of international importance. stz iy CAPTURED AN ALLEG#£D FORGER. George G.
