Thayer promised In n letter to John C. Wat
son to locate the Grand Army of the Republic
encampment In Nebraska City nnd later on
named Grand Island ns the plncc ho
knocked the organization In this city
Into n cocked hat. Nebraska City
had the best drilled nnd largest
us well as the best organized company in iho
stato. When the boys learned they had been
shut out , It created considerable confusion
nnd disorganization. There is now loft only
n corporal's guard , but Nebraska City will
probably bo represented tit Grand Island just
the same. Colonel Bills of Fnirbury was hero
tonight. Company C was called together
and after n long session it was agreed that
the local company should make u sort of n
representation nt the encampment. Captain
Harris has loft thu stato. Ills successor ,
General S. II. Morrison , has not yet < iuali-
fled nnd says ho will not on .account
of being iimiblo to attend. The first lleuton-
unt has never taken the onth of office , consequently
quently John LI. Patterson , second lieutenant ,
Is the only commissioned oftlccr In charge
hero. . Patterson Is n mall carrier nnd
cannot possibly leave his post of

the Second regiment is represented In Grand

Kiiil of ( lie Scorch for Dead In the Now
York Itnildint ; \ \ reck.
New You if , Aug. 20. The work of looking
for dead oodles in the Taylor building con
tinued all night. From midnight until 7:30 :
n. m. ten bodies were recovered , making a
total of sixty. Up to 10 o'clock two moro
bodies were found. It was impossible to
identify many of tbo victims , ns decomposi
tion had ct in.
Mayor Grant bns appointed a relief com
mittee , and money for the dead has. , com- .
innnnot * w rtil - * * w * - aia
lias been received from Mrs. Cruin , owner of
Lho building that collapsed. She sends a letter -
tor , saying she wished she could give moro
for the families of the dead.
The coroner will begin an inquest next
Monday.
The mayor this afternoon received a letter
from tho' widow of Thomas Williams , 11)5 )
Varick street , ouo of the victims of the dis
aster , In which shu says she is too poor to
pay the expenses of her husband's funeral.
The mayor wrote to the Commissioners of
Charities nnd Corrections directing them to
provide u coltln , Hearse and carriage and to
bury the body in Calvary cemetery.
Tno announcement that the search was
concluded and the last body had been taken
from the ruins had Its effect upon the crowd ,
which with morbid curiosity had clung to
the rope that formed the flro lino. Most of
the people wcr.t away ana the overworked
police breathed signs of relief. Tno Bureau
of Incunibranccs kept up Its work of remov
ing the debris from the street until 5 p. in. ,
when all work stopped. There still remained
about the spot several desolate women ,
whoso dead had not been found nnd who re
fused to bollovo that there had been a cessa
tion of work of the searchers. Indeed it was
a matter of wonder to all that there was so
largo a number of missing whu could not bo
accounted for. Tlio theory was advanced
that owing to the fierceness of the flumes
which raged several hours , some of tbo bodies
were entirely consumed.
At last the dread uncertainty is over.
Every inch of the black forbidding space ,
where once the fated building stood , has
been gene ever ; every bit of debris removed ,

sub collar.

thus accounting for the disnppearanco of

at Hand.
, Pn. , Aug. SO. Tno session
of the national convention of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America this morning wns n
secret oco. The question of admitting col
ored members into the order consumed the
entire morning. A number of ballots were
tnkon , but each ono resulted tlio same , ! > 9 in
fnvor of the admittance of colored members
nnd ,11 ngalnst It. Most of the opposition to
the elimination of the word whllo from the
constitution comes from the delegates from
Illinois nnd Ohio , who voted nsaunlt against
It. A four-fifths vote of the entire conven
tion Is necessary to mnko nny alterations In
the constitution of the order.
The Importance of the question before the
convention , the breaking down of the color
line , to which the order hus steadily ml-
bored , wns plainly evidenced by the full nt-
teudanco of the delegates. The question
como up on n motion to strike out the word
"white" in the constitution relating to the
qunlillcation of members. Common Council
lor Stephen H. Gibson of the Seventh ward ,
and n member of Washington camp , No. T'Jl ,
of this city , composed of colored men , wns
accorded the privileges of tun floor , and for
ono hour mudo a powerful and eloquent ap
peal for the recognition of his race. The
sentiment of the convention wns strongly in
fnvor of admission , the Pennsylvania
delegation being unanimous in the
colored man's favor , but an arbi
trary clause iu the constitution
requiring n four-fifths vote to annul or
change the constitution , enabled the oppon
ents to defeat the measure. A vote on the
motion found sixty in favor nnd thirty-four
against , out before the result was announced
two members who voted in the aftlrmatlvo
changed their vote from yea to nny In order
to enable them to vote for n reconsideration.
Prominent among these who spoke elo
quently in favor of the colored man's nd-
mission were J. II. Williams of Colorado ,
Colonel Robertson of Illinois
, ex-Congress
man Drum Schuylklll , nnd ugnlnst this ad
mission Dr. E. P. Murdoch of Chicago and J.
A. Kilton of Colorado.
During the progress of the debate n tolc-
grntn from New Orleans wns received whlcn
conveyed the sentiment of the Lonislanans
on the subject. The dispatch , which was
signed by the officers of the state encamp
ment , read : "Wo desire that the national
encampment at least postpone action on the
color question ono year. Further discussion
will bring mcro light uud n bettor under
standing of the real conditions in the south
to our brethren of the north , who can thou
act more advisedly. "
At the evening session a motion to recon
sider the question of admitting colored men
was made , but was lost. The tabling of the
motion without n vote was the work of tbo
members in favor of admitting colored mem
bers , whorooy this loft-tho question still
opou. The question will probably bo called
t3 again tomorrow. , , ji , ? - . t

President Baldwin's Address Other
DetailH of the Meeting.
BOSTON , Mass. , Aug. 20. The fourteenth
annual mooting of the American Bar associa
tion opened hero this morning , nearly two
hundred members bolng present. After
President Baldwin had culled the assemblage
to order n welcome was extended to the vis
itors by John Lowell , president of the Bos
ton Bar association. Projidout Baldwin re
sponded nnd after a few brief remarks ho
proceeded to deliver the annual address.
President Baldwin In his address spoke of
the great diversity of matters treated by the
federal and state governments end reviewed
the acts of congress and of the legislatures of
the dlttorout states. The wild whirl of
hurry and excitement which has coma to
mark the closing days of ovury congress nnd
which throws almost despotic power into the
hands ol n few of the leaders is greatly to bo
doprocatod. Of 4113 pages of conornl legisla
tion , which constitute thu work of the last
.session of the Fllty-llrst congress , 2sl pages
are covered by enactments of the closing day
and liJ'J ' only by those of the three months
precedlnu. Tbo opportunities for "log-roll
ing1' which sucli n condition of things
involves nnd the ready oicuso it offers for
evading responsibility for nny measure In
the shnpo U llnully assumes , nro obvious.
Speaking of the work of statu legisla
ture. * . Prof. Baldwin Mild : "Tho * presi
dent of the asbociatlon last year reported
that fourteen states nud territories hud
adopted the Australian ballot system. The
number has since grown to twenty-nine. W o
still observe iu legislation 30ino lingering
echoes of the war. Three moro southern
states , Alabama , Arkansas nud Goorcln , nro
taxing themselves to pay ox-conlederatu
soldiers , and Tennessee has ndoptod n simi
lar law , applicable to her s > ons who fought
on the other side. Florida has made Jeffer
son Davis' ' birthday a legal holiday. Congress -
gross has provided for the purchase of a
largo tract of land comprehending the Chica-
manga battlefield for u national military
park. Arkansas bus Incorporated a sfito ox-
con federate association nnd n similar organ
isation Is chartered In Alabama. There is
noticeable in legislative proceedings of many
states n want of respect for the spirit of their
constitutions , while adhering to the
letter , which ono cannot but regard
ns n serious menace to the perpetuity of
our Institutions. There , is no necessity so
imperious ns that of supporting the constitu
tion , to which wo are doubly bound by our
oaths as citUeus nnd ns members of the bar.
Its formalities. Its delays , its limitations are
the best fruits of a uiousand years of Anglo-
Saxon history. The omnipotence of the
British parliament our lathers refused to
reproduce on American soil , and u belongs
to us to keep it In subatanco ns it 1 * In
form. "
At the close of the president's address HJi )
now members were admitted. A recois was
then taken.
At the afternoon session an Interesting nd-
dress was delivered by Frederick M. Judson
of St. Louis on Individual Liberty of Con
tract Under Pcllco Power , " and by William
