Watson Piokreil of tho bureau of animal industry of the Department of Agriculture &t Washington was in tho city yesterday. Mr. Piekrell is one of Secretary Rusk’s as- sistants in this oranch of the work, and looks after the branches of the bureau in the west. His visit to South Omaha was for tne purnose of arvanging for the microscopal in- spection of pork av the G. H. Hammond company’s packing vlaut, which will be put in operation avout the middle of October, or s00n thereafter. The bureau is proving a great success and is ove of the beneficial pioces of legisiation enacted by a republican’ administration. Ics Kgroat usetulness is bemg fully attested each day, and the marvelous increase in the ex- vort trade of the packers is the proof, The inspection of all pork for foreign consump- tion has made 1t possible for the packers in this country to fiud a ready market in_tho countries of the Old Worid, where Lwo yvars ago all American pork was suspected of being wfected with trachina” and it admis- sion 10to those markets was denied. The m- spoection has wrought about a chanwe in tho order of things and tho export trade is grow- g each day aud is reaching dimensions of un extensive nature. Organized a Democratic Club, The much advestised alid tAlked of meet- for the purpose of organizing & democratic club was held last evening at Blum’s hall. Twénty-two adherents of democracy wero present, and the three factions managed to getin under the hat and' each captured an officer. W. S. Shoemaker and A. S. Ritchio talked for a short timo to the few in the hall. When the speakers had finished a motion to elect officers was made und there was a gen- erul awakening of interest all over the room, aud the democratic hope for oftice was once again buoyed up. Councliman Jack Walters, as cheerful democrat as _ever presided over & forlorn hope, was elected prosident, Eli H. Doud, secre- tary and Joun McMillan, treasurer. The club then concluded it would be nice to con- fer honors upon each member present and proceeded to elect four vice presidents as foliows: P. L. Monahan, John Franck, F. W. Brockewt and John [rey. There not “eing enough to go around aboutone dozen committees wero appoiuted, and when all present bad secured an nhonor of some kind the meeting adjourned. The clud will meet this evening av Twenty-fourth and N streets toatrend tonight's rally at Exposition hall. Will Prosecuto Saloonkeepers. A.H. Milier proposes to prosecute all saloonkeepers who have billiard or pool tables in their places and pormit boys to play. Mr. Miller states that the practice of boys playing in the salcons of the city is almost universal, and that no attempt is made to prevent, tho suloon men encouraging the youngsters. ' Last ovening Mr. Miller found a number of youthful billinrdists in a suloon at Twenty-fourth and L streets play- ing, una he promises a prosecution will fol- low.

THE eutenant Peary and His Party Arrive at Philadelphia. VERHOEFF'S MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE very Me; is ber of the Party The Exy the Result Expedition, Thinks That He Satisflod the Dead- with rors ot Priaveienia, Pa, Sept. 23, —Uleutenant Rovert, Peary, the explorer, and Prof. An- welo Heilprin, commander of the reliet party, expressed satisfactivn with the results which had been achioved to crowds of their friends, fellow sciontists of tho Philadelphia acud- emy, and reprosentatives of uewspapers, many of whom steamed down the Delaware in tugs to meet the returniug explorers, Tha Kite arrived at tte state quarantine at 8:30 . m., and after nalf an hour's examination by the port’s physiclans steamed up to her dock at tne foor of Christian street. A con- unual ovation from steam whistles and bells on every craft in the harbor greeted tho Kite, When the dock was roached an eagor throng of waiting rela- tives and friends o: tho membors of both parties at onco swarmed the decks, A vecep- tion committes from the academy was already on board, having met the Kite some milos bolow the city. _Miss Verhoeff, a sis- tor of John M. Verioeff, who failed to return with his fellow-explorers, being reportod aead, accompanied the reception committee with'her aunt and uncle. T'hey discredit the theory that the missing mineralogist was accidentally drowned, and firmly believe that he 1s even now exploring the iaterior of Greenland, having voluntarily remained behind. Young Verhoefl's Disappearance, Lieutenant Peary himself refuses to say anything concerning Verhoeff's disappear- ance, but what has already been mentioned 10 these dispatches. He donies, howover, that differences existed between himsell and ho independent, but ambitious Kentuckian, lembers express ignorance of any diffor- ence between the two men or Verhoef's in- tentton to explore for himself. William E. Mohan, the botanist of the re- lief party, said that tho search for the min- eralogist occuvied seven days and that every member of both expeditions was engaged in it. 'I'races of Verhoeff had been found on the sixth day near a large uumber of crey. \ 1nto which there was every reason to believe he had fallen. Vernoef’s uncle and cousiu give as their reasons for supposing him alive the fact thut he went away on a trip for minerals to an Isquimaux viliage, stating that ho might be ¥oue two days, but telling his fellow ex- plorers not to be alarmed it he staved four. He took with him an axe, Colts’ revolver, fifty cartridges, an oilskin ' suit and com- pass, appurently preparing himself for any emergency. One Chance In a Th Peary himself thinks there is not one chance in a thousand for Verhooff being alive. Ifhe s living, however, the lieucen- ant declares he can _comuunicute with his frieads by whaling vessels, which visit Mc- Cormick’s bay 1 Novemver. Supnlies for eighteen months have been left where the lost man can reach them. Langdon Gibson of Loug Island Clty was tho last man who saw Verhooff alive, and Miss Verhooff plied him with questions. Gibson wes one of the sailors, He said toa reporter that he had seen Verhooff at Rob- ertson’s point and that ho'had enough cloth- ing and food to last longer than a few days. “I thik he is dead,” said the sailor, “though [ aid not tell his sistor. He was right near the Esquimaux ana they will take care of him if he is alive.” Last Seen of the Missing Man, The following are the facts surrounding the disappearance of Verhoefl as far as could be learned from different members of the expedition : Verhoeft was last seen alive by Landon Gibson August 13, the latter being en- camped at the head of McCormicks bay shooting birds to add to his collection. Ve hceff told Gibson he was goingto takea trip to Keekere:, an Esquimaux settlemert, and might not be back for two or three days. He did not return and Gibson went to the appointed placa and after a search was uoable to find him, and returning, he reported the matter to Peary aud plans wore at once begun for searching for him. A diligent, thorough search was made for him, but no trace was found. The search was abandoned after a week as hopeless, as he bhad only taken five days’ provisions with him and was thinly clad. VernoefP’s actions from the time tho party reached Greenland are described as peculiav and as pofuting to an intention to stay and live with the Bsqui- muux. Itis said that he continually wore the scantiest kind of clothing and that al- most every day he would go into the water naked where holes had been cut in the ice, He would protest tuat he was not cold and did everything 10 his power to inure him- self to the hardships of the climate. These facts, taken in connection with mysterious feslers put out during the winter as to the probability of Lieuten- ant Peary letting nim stay up nortn, led somo of ‘the party to the conclusion that he may have takeu & notion to stay with the Esquimaux in hope of making & journey to the furthest north point yet discovered and 80 win fame, In speaking of the fate of Verhooff, Lieu- tenant Peary sald he had no right to indulge 1n surmisns but he gave the impression that he believed Verhoeff was dead. Belleves Hor Brother is Alive, An interview took placo this atternoon be- tween Miss Verhoeff and Lieutenant Peary in regurd to Verhoefl's probable fate. After the interview Miss Verhooff said: “My in- terview with Lioutenant Peary this after- noon was most unsatisfactory. Mr, Peary’s treaument of me was far from what it shoutd be under such sad circumstances, and oaly strengthens my belief that he poted n any but a kindly mauner toward my brother and his companion, who was his equal, if not his superior, lnstead of gving mo all the ae- tuils of the loss of my brother at once, he compelled me to wait several hours bofore he would permit me to call on him,” said the little woman ‘with tears in her'vowe, but none in ber eyes. “Do you now believe your brother 1s ale?” **More than ever since talking with Lieu- tenany Poary, who oertainly does not think him dead, butnow pelioves as 1 do, that he voluntarily left the party so that he might continue further north as Mr. Peary should bave permitted bim, and as he had agreed vefore the expedition started.” ‘‘What reason did Mr. Peary give for not fuifilling that agreement " A very poor one, Mrs. Peary, who should never have been permitted to go with the expedition, needed & nurss or a body guard, aud my brother, who contributed largely to tho cost of the ‘outtt, was com- pelled to porform work that any or meumber of the crew could have aone," ‘‘What excuse do you subpose Mr. Peary wave for bis treatment of my brother !’ usked Miss Verhoeff. “I will tell you, he was sur- prised to learn from me that my brother was posssssed of such & scientific” education or desired to go with him further uorth for the purpose of scientific research, I have al- ways understood this was a commander’s duty to understand his men, and 1 consider M. Peary's explanation & very silly one, Stigmatized as & Deserte: “‘Mr, Peary said that if my brother was alive he was a deserler, and that, as he understood the law, neither,the government nor the Academy of Natural Sciences were under obligations to send out a searching party.” But little information could be galned from Lieutenant Peary, Mrs. Peary or mem- bers of tae expedition in regard o the scien- titic results of the journey. Members ure pledged to silence. The lieutenaut pointed out that the most importaut work accom- phishea by the expedition was the discovery of e great bay named Independence bay on the east of Girecnland and the practical outline of the entire norihern coast of Greenland, settling the question as to whether Greenland stretehed Beross the pole on & frozen mass or not Greenland, as the waps now all show, is a Kreal island resobiug from its present known position to little above 835% latitud “The upper part of Gireenland,’ g vory much like its soutbern end.
