LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 26.—Though the Agams Express officials denifed that a Burlington train was robbed of a pack- age containing- $40,000 in currency, while standing at a depot in this city last week, the local manager of the com- pany, J. A. McCulloch, 10-day acknowl- ecdged that the robbery did occur sub- stantially as reported, aithough he re- fused to*rtatc the amount lost. The daliy papers here to-day contained the following announcement: “The party who took a package from the Adams Ex- press Company Monday evening, Novem- ber 17, will save himself serious trouble if he returns it to the undersigned. No questions asked.—J. A. McCulloch.” McCulloch sald: “Yes, there was a robbery, but I do not care to place the amount of loss.” According to a story from an authori- tative seurce, the company believes the package Whs snatched by some one who did not know its value.and that it has been “planted” without being examined. ‘While the express company is sald to expect this “want ad”. to secure the re- turn of the package the police do not look {er that result. It is said that the fact there had been a robbery was care- fully suppressed by as it showed carelessness on the part of thelr employes and they feared to let the public know to what extent. The package is said to have been left in the doorway of the transferring car while the express messerger went for his receipt book. — e e ADVERTISEMENTS.

Its songs have been sung, played and whistled for more than a decade, yet strike the ear as| kindly as on their first hearing. Every one knows the story, vet its “almost Shakespearean quips and turns strike sparks as bravely as ever. The opera | has never been better done even by the Bostonians, which no doubt in part ac- | counts for its continued grip. The en- | sembles in particular are thoroughly sat- isfying,.both In the concerted work of thle principals and in the choruses, that arc models of choral accomplishment.

The engage- ment is unique in many of its features. The concerts are to take place in the | Mechanics’ Pavilion, that has been ex- | cellently adapted for the purpose. The | echoing caverns of space in which so much good music has gone wrong have | been cut off, and a fine sounding-board | erected. The place has been decorated in | bandsome fashion and has taken on the air of a winter garden, with a fine cafe | and other luxuries. All the seats will | be reserved and the season is to last for five weeks. The band is \ne of the finest of mili- tary bands, and its conductor, Rivela, one of the foremost artists of his pro- fession. The band itself is practically composed of soloists, among whom Pal- ma and De Mitris may be particularly mentioned, and its fine achievements of last year under Creatore have given it firm plaee in the hearts of local lovers of music. The first concert of the season will take place on Sunday evening next and con- certs are to be given every evening af- terward with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. deeper . .

The last of the first series of the Zech symphony concerts at Fischer’s Theater took place yesterday afternoon with a good audjence in attendance. The pro- gramme contained the Symphony No. 4 of Schumann, the prelude to “Tristan and Isolde,” the symphonic poem, “Lamia,” the work of the director of the concerts, aud the Grieg “Peer Gynt”.suite. The or- chestra was heard much at its best in the “Lamia” number, that from the fact of its being conducted by the composer and its fuller rehearsal—this being its second performance during the series—was more fortunate in its handling and interpreta- tion. The composition is dignified, inter— esting and sincere. It is thoroughly well made, the orchestral eoloring ingenious and varied, and in the matter of theme, though not strikingly original, it is yet characteristic and pleasing. The number was warmly applauded, Mr. Zech grace- fully sharing the applause with his or- guaranteed. n . HEINE PIANO Co., Heine Hall, 235237 Geary Street. H?): ;ss 3 Steinways. §185 to §20. ce.

KNISER ATTENDS KRUPP FUNERAL German Emperor Re- bukes Gunmaker’s Accusers. The Oortege Passes Through Lighted Streets Hung With Black. \ ESSIN, Prussia, Nov. 26.—The presence of Emperor Willilam at Herr Krupp's burial to-day was designed by his Ma- jesty to show his absolute disbelief of the accusations in regard to the gun manu- facturer's death, A statement was is- sued that the Emperor was indignant at the cruelty and malice of the Soclal- Democratic charges and he is sald to have personally expressed his feeling in the matter to the Rey. Mr. Kilgemann, who delivered the first of the two funeral ora- tions, By Emperor William's side were the de- ceased’s cousin, Arthur Krupp, and Gen-, eral von Bissing. Liveried servants bore behind the hearse, on velvet cushions, the orders conferred on Herr Krupp by sov- ereigns all over the world. The city was hung in black and the street lamps were alight and hooded with crape. At the cemetery, as the coffin was low- ered into the vault beside that of the de- cecased's father, Emperor William saluted and a great chorus of workingmen's sing- | ing societies chanted a requiem. Then | followed two funeral orations. The Rev. | Mr. Kilgemann, superintendent of the| | synod, the highest ecclesiastic of the | state church in the province, said: | “‘Friederich Alfred Krupp was a good man. The heritage of a good man fell into good hands, He was of unusual pur- ; ity of heart and simplicity and amiability | of disposition and had fine moral feel- ings."” Manager Director Roettger, referring to | the charges against Herr Krupp, said he | thanked the Emperor for his presence at | the funeral, adding that it would “be a | shame if a German could be found who was influenced by the base inventions of | foreigners."” After the burlal Emperor Willlam talk- ed with Rev. Mr. Kilgemann, express ing the hope that all of Herr Krupp's| benevolent enterprises would be con- | tinued. Before departing for Berlin the Kaiser addressed the directors of the Krupp works and a deputation of workmen atmtha railway station. His Majesty said: I feel I must express to_you how deeply I am affected by the death of Herr Krupp. The Empress sends to all an expression of the same sorrow and she has already expressed her feel- ings for Frau Krupp in writing. 1 have often with my wife enjoyed the hospitality of Herr and Frau Krupp and I felt the influence of the deceased’s charm and amiabilif In the course of years our relations became such that I may describe myself as.a friend of the deceased and of his house. 1 therefore felt that I could not but attend his funeral, for I considered it my duty to stand beside the widow and daugh- ters of my friend. ‘Those who were Intfmately adquainted with the departed know with what a delicate and sensitive nature he was endowed, and that of- fered the only point of attack through which he might be dealt a mortal blow. He has been the victim of his unassallable integrity. A deed has been done in German landsgo base and mean that it makes all hearts shudder and must have brought to the cheek of every German patriot a blush of shame at the dis- grace cast upon our whole nation. The man who was German to the core, who lived always only for others and for the wel- fare of the fatherland, above all for his own workmen, had his honor assailed. This deed with its consequences is nothing less than mur- der, for there is no difference between him who mixes and presents a polsenous draught to another and him who from the safe sheiter of his editorial sancturh with the polisoned darts of his slanders robs his fellow man of his honorable name and kills him by the men- tal tortures he inflicts, Who were they that committed this shame- ful act upon our friend? Men who hitherto had passed as Germans, but are now unworthy of this name. Men sprung from that cl of the labor population which owes so_in- finitely much to Herr Krupp, and of which class thousands to-day in the streets of Esscn bowed their last farewell with weeping eves 10 the coffin of their benefactor. TELLS OF FATALITIES FROM VOLCANIC ERUPTION Gustav Eisen Confirms Published Re- ports of Casualties and Destruc- tion in Guatemala. James M. Taylor, who is connected with the Spreckels Sugar Company, is in re- ceipt of a letter from Gustav Eisen, for- mer president of the California Micro- scopical Society, briefly destribing the ter- rible volcanic eruptions in Guatemala, Eisen con s the published reports of the fearful loss of life. Eisen was in Guatemala for the purpose of collecting specimens of insect and animal life for the University of California, and, judging from his letter, had a narrow escape from death. He was on his way to the volcano when the eruption took place. The letter says: The last terrible eruption has totally de- stroyed sixty miles square of the finest coffee plantations ‘In Guatemala and has killed be- tween and 10,000 people. The eruptions continue, the crater having opened at the base of the old volcanio Santa Maria. The country is covered with sand, ashes and lava seventy feet in depth. Only the tops of the trees ara seen. Houses, cities | and plantations are covered with one deep mantle of lava and in the territory devastated all vegetable and animal life has been de- stroyed. I was on my way to the place when the ‘volcano broke out. The detonations were terrible and country was enveloped in darkness for fifty-six hours. I will be glad If I get out alive. —_————————— Colored People’s Charity.

R PARIS, Nov. 26.—The Ellen Gore drama reached a fitting climax to-day in the mournfully picturesque funeral at the American Church in ‘the Rue de Berrl. The occasion was marked by a notable demonstration of sympdthy not only on: the part of the. Americans but by the French middle classes, artists and other babitues of the Latin quarter. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the street ir. front of the church was packed with students in unique costumes and as the cortege approached they uncovered their heads. The hearse was preceded by a uniformed functionary wearing a_ blue sash and a cocked hat. The hearse was Lung with black and bore the monogram. of the deceased. The oak casket was covered with a pall. It was followed by three State carriages but, excepting the first, they were empty. The first carriage was occupied by M. Paquet, representing Consul-General | Gowdy. There were no pall bearers and no mourners. The interior of the build- | ing was crowded, chiefly with women. | Artists filled the aisles. One of them stood sketching ‘the scene. i The casket rested on a high catafalque | in front of the altar and was covered | by five superb wreaths, one of them be- ing from Mr. Gowdy. The others were from anonymous donors. The Rev. Dr. Thurber officiated. The service included a reference to the proverb: “Evil com= munications corrupt good manners.” Dr. Thurber refrained from mentioning the tragedy. The cortege after the services proceeded to Bagneux Cemetery, where there was a similar brief and simple cere- | mony. The official report of the commission of the American doctors which made a,post- mortem examination of Mrs. Gore's re-| mains at the instance of Mr.'Gowdy is | not expected to be presented before Sat- urday owing to sickness in the family of | one of the members. Mr. Gowdy is con- tinuing thé taking of depositions in the case and will forward- his report to; Washington next Tuesday. RECEIVES MRS. GORE'S WILL. Aunt of Deceased Woman in Posses- sion of the Docu- ment. ALAMEDA, Nov. 26—Mrs. P. T. Dick- inson of this city, aunt of the late Mrs. Fllen Gore, received to-day from the New York attorney of the deceased a copy of her will and business letters re- ferring to the estate of the deceased, which consists of property in the City of Mexico.
