LINCOLN , Aug. 12 , ( Special to The Dec. ) Qcorgo Davis , the negro suspected of wrecking the Hock Island train , Is mill con- flncd In the city Jail. No complaint has as yet boon filed ngnlnst him , and It will de pend largely on the verdict rendered by the Jury nt the Impiest whether this will bo done. This forenoon Harry t'ooto , the brakcmnn of the Ill-fated train , called at the ntatlon and wns allowed to talk with the prisoner. Davis persisted In sticking to his Btory that ho heard the crash while he was In the negro club rooms and started for the Bceno of the wreck. Kooto tried to laugh Iilm out of sticking to this story , and whether he succeeded only ho and Chief Cooper know. After the brakcman had talked with Davis a llttlo while In the presence of Captain Ireland he seemed to think that ho had htm on the point of confessing. Chief Ccopcr was called tnd the two entered his cell and talked with Davis over an hour. After they had finished tha chief declared that Davis still clung to his old story , while l'ooto refused to talk about the matter. The chief said that ho talked very reluctantly nnd In a hesitating manner , but said ncthlng to Incriminate himself. Phllpot and Altschuler have finally been chosen by Dav s to defend him , though It looked for a whllo that the scenes of yester day among the attorneys would be repeated. Attorney Courtnay came In and wanted to talk with him. Colonel I'hllpot was there and objected , and the chief asked the prisoner which ono he vented to look after lila In terests. After much hesitation ho said he would Ilko to love Phllpot and his partner and this wns accepted by Courtnay as llnal and ho withdrew his request to consult him. I3r keman I'cote uas handed a photograph of 1 > . II. Zernccko this morning and after examining It lie declared It was the likeness of the man ulio got on his train at llalani. This leaves no doubt that Zcrnecke perished In the wreck. Whllo tlicro has been much talk on the Btrect corners no threats have as yet boon inudo against the negro and ho rents in com- paiatlvo case in his cell As there are no female prisoners nt present in the Jail he has been placed In the female apartment and faros much bettor In rcgird to con veniences than any of the other inlsoncrs. The mayor cf University Place telephoned the police station this morning that Will Itoso had been shot at Havulozk whllo at- jtemptlng to steal chickens last night He es caped , but was captured on the state farm and Is now In custody at Unlvcrs.ty Plucc.

Ho began life ; without n dollar , nnd Is now worth not less than ? oO,000,000. In n ch.it which I hnd with him n cuple of years ngo he gave mo some very Interesting details of his early life. IU was born , ho told mo , near JJolvlclero , N. J. , In ISO. ! , the descend ant of a Scotch Covenanter , who came to this country In 1710. Ono of his nncestors helped to found Princeton college , nnd was afterward its vlcj president and ono of Ha piofessors. "My futher , " said Mr. Illnlr , "died when I was 14 yearn old , nnd from that time on I wns compelled to shift for myself , nud contribute to the support of my mother , seven brothers and three sisters. The first money I ever earned was by trapping lab- bits and muskrats and selling tlulr skins. I got Jl for sixteen skins , and felt richer in Its possession than I ever have since. When I was 10 } cara old I became a clcik In the store kept by n cousin of mine nt Hope. I remained with him for seven years , .mil then set up for myself. I removed to what Is now Blalrstown , but which was then al most a wilderness , and opened n gciurnl store. I had managed to bave a few hun dred dollars , and the balance of my capital was loaned me by my mother and coiisjn. " PROSPERED FROM THE FIRST. . Mr. Blair prospered from the first , and was In n few yenrs the owner of u chain of stores , established ono by one and man aged by his brothers The building of a small rallroid In Warren county , In which RlnlrsUwn is sltmted , disclosed to him n new source of wealth , by which he was not slow to profit. I'he greater pirt of his vast fortune was made by railroad building In Iowa. Ills general plan was to organize a company to build a reid thrcugh an unde veloped bcctlon Then he would pcrstiiMlo the people l.vlng along the proposed line to issue count ) and city bonds suiHcIenl to pay for the building cf the road , the work being Invariably done by a construction company , which was John I Blair In another form.

He built the town of'DlalrBlovn into a solhlly prosperous place. Trt get to and from Blilrs- town ho constrlicti'fltftlie Blalrstown i-Jllroad. the chief business of which ims always been to carry John I. Blair back and forth. Mr. Blalr'a hbtts1iave alwas been simple and unpretentious , arid he is known to every man , woman nnd child In Illalistown as "plain John I. " Ills garments are always plain nnd usually Ill-tatting and shabby , while his silk hat giVes every evidence of having seen service long before the wa- . Through out his long lift he has boon a hard worker , und until his present'sickness could be found atat his desk at n50 'in the morning , and this at all seasons of ( lie year. It Is his boast that he hns never " S"n > cuhted , never attended a horse'raco o"r uase ball came nnd has only once been to n theater. " His business methods are original and often eccentric. At one time , he was a partner cf John P. Alley , but differences ] | arose and they separated. Then Alley sued for something like $2,509,000. When the case came for trial Mr. Blair was not ready and requested an adjournment. There was n small army of lawyers employed In the case nnd a hot war of words ensued. The Judge , In the end , granted a postpone ment , but oidercd that n bond for double the amount of the alleged claim should be filed. A ? 3 000,000 BOND. "The bond required will bo $5,000,000 , I understand , " said Mr , Blair , when this de cision had been reached. Alley's lawyers promptly assured him that ho had not over stated the amount. "I expected th're would bo something of the kind necessary , " Bald Mr. Blair In his quiet way , "and so I brought this along" "This , " proved to be a small black bag ' which ho had brought with him into the court room. Ho now opened It and spread before the judge ? 5,000,000 in government bonds. "These will answer , I suppose ? " he In quired. The Judge , when he had recovered from his surprise , said ho thought they would. "But , " ho went on , "I will make you cus todian of them , with the distinct under " standing that none of them shall be used while It Is part of the bond. " "Your Iloncr need have no fear on that score , " was Mr. Blilr's reassuring response. "I only brought In a few this morning for this purpose. There nre some that I will have no use for while this matter Is pond- InK.

No matter how good his "hands" were he was sure to be beaten The gnme had gone on for some time when a messenger came to the door nnd Inquired for Senator Plumb , salnK he was wanted on Important business. The senator excused himself and said he would be back ptesently While he was gone his frlciuls jokingly con spired to put up a "hand" on him. They ar ranged it so that Plumb would get four jacks and Fnrwell four queens. Know Ing that the former was n stiff player , they anticipated the heavy beting with inueli glee ami the senator's crestfallen relief when they would subsequently explain the piac'lcal joke played on him Senator Aldrlch was the dealer. The Kansas senator returned In a verj short time and resumed his place at the table. The others all wore their mos' serious aspect. The cards were dealt as arrangc'l ' by the senatorial conspirators Senator Plumb held three jacks "pal" and called for one card Aldrlch dealt him n Jack fiom tlu bottom of the pick , and Senator Plumb saw It.

Perhaps no barbarous ruler , bereft of power mid overwhelmed by the advance of the fnucaslnn race , over met n more pa thetic fate than that of Lo Hengula , saya the Now York Sun. Ccitaln flagrant viola tions of utago and brutal dlsicgarj for every dictate of humanity sealed the fate of the king. On two occasions , during the hostili ties , It is probable that further bloodshed and untold suffering might have been avoided If shameful injustice had not been done to him. In the first Instance n deed was committed vvhlcli most people would regard ns a crime , though nn Investigating committee bus declared It to bu merely a I blunder. Iho second case was an act of brutal treachery hard to paiallel. The war had hardly begun when Lo Ben gula sent three ambassndois to the com mander of one of the military columns of the 'South Africa company. Unarmed and with out escort , they walked Into the white camp , but the message they brought from the king was never delivered. Two of them were ahot dead In their tiacks nnd the third escaped Into the bush. The respect shown to n ling of truce In civilized warfare was denied to the envoys of a barbarous king. No one has been called to account. The committee of Inquiry has defined the occurrence as an "unfortunate misunderstanding " If this be , ) , the tonlble deed should be Included In the category of those blunders that are vvorso than cilmcs. After the wr.r was practically over nnd Lo Bcngula and thousands of h s people wcro retreating to the north the king de cided to throw himself upon the mercy ot his conquerors and beg that the killing cf his fallen tribesmen might ' Bopped He sent ono of his ch.efs with a le.ter addressed the ccpimnncler cf the white forces , In which he said that his great desire was to surrender and prevent further bloodshed. evidence that he vuis sincere and submissive n missive ho sent with the chief an o\ wagon containing ? 5,000 In silver , a present to the British leader. The envoy had nearly So reached his destination when ho wnb met two English soldiers , who demanded his business , The simple-minded black man told thorn all there was to tell , und fol lowed Implicitly the direct ! us they gave him. They charged him to return at once the king. They would deliver the letter and the present at headquarters and tha answer ot the white commander would boon sent to Lo Bengula Those two soldiers then committed the heinous crlmo of destroying this message of peace and submission , willing that massacre suffering should continue If only they might enjoy the Ill-gotten silver. The blood Major U'llson and his fiylng column Is letwa the hands of those men. It was after Lo was Bengula had tendered his surrender and boy when vainly awaited the answer that Wil son's pursuing party was slaughtered to a en mini. Then the king pushed a little do'por n the the wilderness toward the Xnmbesl and with women nnd childen ! dying around But not , he , too , succumbed to his grief and privations.
