GRAND ISLAND, Aug. 25.—(Special to Tha Bee.)—Preparations for the big state reunion are already practically completed and tomor- row the grounds will be thrown open for the usual Sunday inspection by citizens and vis- itors. A thousand tents are pitched, and hay, straw, water and other necessitics pro- vided in ample abundance, and next week’s visitors will meet with every accommodation it Is possible to give them. There will be a large crowd, that being assured, owing to the fact that Quartermaster Harrison has already received applications for every tent. The usual number of booths are erected and the railroad companies’ baggage rooms will ba crected by tonight. Visitors are thus en- abled to check their baggage from any point in the state direct to the' grounds. A number.of veterans have afready arrived by team and a number of the populist del- egates will remain over for at least one or two days of the reunion. The city Is also providing for the big week. Owing to diffi- cultles between the council and the lighting company, Grand Island has for some time been without electric light.

Officer Malick returned from Omaha today with Lindsey and a man named Spellman from Omaha, who was willing to go on Lindsey’s bond, but as he could only qualify for the sum of $1,500 and as County Attorney Travis had been in Omaha this morning looking up Lindsey’s father-in-law, Bdward Lynch, who signed the bond yesterday and found that he had misrepresented his financial standing, Judge Archer could do nothiug but again consign Lindsey to the jailer's care.

MRS, STANFORD AS PLAINTIFF Pcsition of Parties in tho Central Pavific Qase Will Bo Roversad, NEW METHOD OF PROCEDURE PRIPOSED Possibllity that the Government's Sult for the Collection of the Debt Against the Pacific Roads May Bo Settled Early Next Session. WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—There is a pos- sibility that steps may be teken by con- gress early next session to relieve Mrs. Stan- ford as speedily as may be of the embarrass- ment placed in the way of settlement of Sen- ator Stanford’s estate by Attorney General Olney's claim against it on behalf of the goy- ernment for the Pacific railroed debt. A new method of procedure not contem- plated has been outlined at the suggestion of Representative Maguire of California, who has advocated the enforcement of claims against the personal estate of the four great directors of the Pacific railroads, and has been ome of the strongest opponents of any plan for an extension of their debt. The proposition, briefly stated, is to authorize Mrs, Stanford to bring suit against the United States, and thus cause an immediate adjudi- cation of the government's suit. Under this proposed method of procedure, Mrs. Stanford would become the plaintiff, and the govern- ment the defendant for the purpose of the sult. So long as the government suit is pend- ing the trustees of the estate cannot make a distribution of the funds of the Leland Stan- ford, jr., university, which are in a certain measure affected. In the regular course of litigation the attorney general’s proposed suit could not be tried until the bonds of the road on which default is inevitable have matured Senator Hill, however, introduced recently a bill to require the prompt prosecution and speedy determination of the claim of the United States ageinst the estate of the late Leland Stanford, which would make the attorney general of the United States to cause to be instituted in the circuit court of the United States for the ¢ strict of California such sutts as may be nec..sary to enforce the im directing the court to give such suits prece- dence over all others, and also directing the attorney general to first prosecute the cl in the state court if that may be nec When Representative Culberson, chairman of the judiciary committee, brought the bill up in the house yesterday, Representative Maguire says that he objected to the bill be- cause it was loosely drawn. Afterwards he told Mr. Culberson that he would draw a bill under which the same object might be accomplished partiaily. The Maguire bill will enable Mrs. Stanford to bring suit against the United States in the United States cir- cuit court of California to determine the validity of the claim. It will contemplate a sult of the same character a8 the procesdings In equity which a real estate holder might Institute to quiet the title agalust a party who asserted a title to his land. Mr. Maguire will probably mot introduce the bill him- self, but says he will see the measure is an ironclad ome in its protection of the govern- ment's Interests. FIRST STEF TAKEN, Ship Cpaal from Luke Erie to the Ohlo is Now Within Sight, WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—The project of a ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohlo river has had advocates for many years both in and out of congress and has had oppo- nents as well. The first practical step toward a solution of the engineering scheme is taken in the river and harbor appropriation act of this year, requiring the secretary of war to appoint a board of army engineers to mi & survey of the different routes proposed and to report to the next session of congress a8 to the practicability of the project and its cost. Three routes proposed are from Erle 0 Pittsburg, from Cleveland to Marietta, 0., and from Toledo to Cincinnati. ready existing an all-water way for canal boats over each of these routes. The cost of widening and deepening the channels and putting in locks so as to accommodate vessels of 280 tons burden is what is sought to as- certain. While the floating of the vessels without unloading from the lakes to the gulf is a fascinating conception, the opponents of the expenditure urge that the vessels built 50 as to navigate the lakes would be helpless after getting into the Ohio river. On the other hand it is argued that an all-water route for the Michigan iron ores and the Pennsylvania and Ohio coal supply is the only thing that will enable the western Penn- sylvania and Ohio iron manufacturers to com- peta with the fast developing industry in the There is al- south. Advocates of the project see pros pects of an enormous growth of the water traffic it the canal is completed. One au- thoritative settlement of these conflicting opinions is hoped for from the work of the commission to be appointed. Assistant Attorneys Appointed. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—The following appointments were today made by the at- torney general: James A. Marshal of Salt Lake, special assistant United States at- torney for the territory of Utah; F. D. Kel- sey of Sitka, assistant United States at- torney for the district of Alaska, e Big Deal in Nevada, CARSON, Nev., Aug. —It is reported here that the Tahoe Lumber and Flume com- pany has sold out to the Sierra Lumber and Flume company. There are many conflict {ng rumors in circulation. Oue is that D. O, Mills wanted to scll his rallroad interests to the Sierra company, which is owned by the Hobart estate. but that the Sierra com- pany refused to take the Carson & Colorado railroad at any price. Another version i3 that the Tahoe Flume company has pur- chased the lumber interests of the Sierra company and that General Marlett has sold his interest in the Sierra company. It s said that D. L. Bliss will be at the head ot the new company, while others insist that Joseph Overton will be the new manager. S el L Demoralizing the Price of Raisins. FRESNO, Cal., Aug. 25.—A dispatch from San Francisco confirms the report that esst- ern jobbers have secured agents to pick in this country and cut the prices of raisins be- low the standard fixed by the combine.

Com- At the regular meeting of the county com- missioners yesterday afternoon action was taken looking towards the opening of South Thirteenth street from its present terminus south to the site of Fort Crook. This mal ter had been under consideration by the members of the board for several days, and the ground was examined with a view to ascertaining what the probable expanse of the contemplated improvement would be. At yesterday's meeting a_ committze con- sisting of Herman Kountze, John Rush, Ben B. Wood and Thomas Swobe and repesenting the property owners Interested appeared be- fore the board and urged that some action be taken In the matter at an early date. They stat:d that they had had an estimate prepared of the approximate cost of the undertaking, and it had been thought that $5,000 would pay for all the work neces- sary to be done In Douglas county to grade and open a road twenty-five fet wide and sufficiently substantial for any kind of light traffic, At this point Commissioner Williams fn- troduced a resolution by which the county clerk was directed to communicate with the Sarpy county commissioners and ask them to meet the Douglas county oficials at a joint meeting to consider the question of opening the road. This was adopted and the commivsioners assured the commit- tee that they were unanimously in fayor of the proposition, and that it was likely that more definite action would be taken as soon as they had come to an understand- ing with the Sarpy county officials. Another complaint against Justice Charles Brandes was read and referred to the finance committee and the county attorney. The complainant was John Lubbe, who asserted that the wheels of justice had been 50 manip- ulated by the accused as to deprive him of his liberty and money in a manner entirely contrary to the usual operations of law. Lubbe cleimed that about a week ago Brandes appointed Willlam Wilde a special constable to arrest him and bring him into court. Although Wilde gave no bond he proceeded to carry out his commission and finally arrested Lubbe and brought him to Mauer's ssdoon, where he sald the justice was waiting to take his bend, The Justice did not appear, so Wilde allowed him to go on the deposit of $3.90 as security that he would appear before Judge Brandes at his office on Fourteenth street, near Farnam, on Monday morning. The complaint goes on to state that Lubbe appeared as desired, but as the justice again falled to put in an appearance, Wilde took him to the oMce of Albert Ritchie, in the Karbach block, where he was made to pay $2.60 as court costs and $5 for ate torney’s fee, without any trial or sn ape pearance before any legal tribunal. There are cne of two other complaints of the same general nature now in the hands of the committee, and it is understood that they will be tsken up together as soon as Commissioner Paddock returns from his v cation. City Engineer Rosewater and County Sur- veyor House were instructed to take a trip to the Platte and ikhorn rivers and make an estimate of the number of cubic inches of water in the flow of each of the stresms. Bids for the construction of the bridge on the Military road were opened and referred unti} the next moeting. The inviiation of the Central Labor union to participate in the exercises on Labor day was accepted.
