Ho had a deep scar on the right leg and
on the back ot the right hand from a burn
received two years ago ; tlio forefinger of the
right hand was crooked , and ho had but one
good tooth In the upper Jaw. She had never
given permission to any ono to open the grave
and take the body. At this point the state
became a little dramatic and Introduced as
an exhibit a portion ot a coat , which Mrs.
Albert Identified as the one her husband was
burled In. ,
A number of relatives also gave descrip
tions of the marks on the person ot the de
ceased , and his slstcr-ln-law swore to pinning

him out ho had noticed the marks described
by the previous witnesses , and also a peculiar
formation of the lect , the toes being
peculiarly pointed. Ho had accompanied the
officers to Cotncr university , and he was very
positive that the body found on the dissecting
table there was that of Otto Albert. He
would not swear that It was Albert's , but
It had the came marks and the feet wcro
peculiarly formed. The hair was also the
game , although a part had been removed.
Tha skin had also been taken off the face ,
hands and that portion of the leg covered by
the scar , but the effect of the latter on the
inusclo could be seen. The body was nudo.
On a canvas stretcher near by , were pieces of
glass.

testified to having covered up the coffin when
the burial took place , and that he had first
missed his private mark on the grave on the
Sunday following the Thursday on which the

LINCOLN , Nov. 30. ( Special. ) The re-
> ort of State Auditor Eugene Moore for the
ilennlum ending November 30 , 1894 , has
> een prepared and wilt be submitted to Gov-
rnor Crounso tomorrow. The report , In Its
penlng , calls attention to the revenue laws ,
which. It Is claimed , are grossly Inadequate.
t Is very difficult to raise revenue enougli
o cover current appropriations. During the
hrce past biennial periods there were ap
propriated $7,090,000.41. The total tax levloa
'or the same period were $7,453,030.58 , or
513,009.81 less than tha appropriations , Icav-
ng an average delinquency of .0506 per cent
of levies made , or an average rate of 0.953
mills on the dollar.
milT
The present biennial average valuation ot
ho state Is | 189 , 225,311.75 , with an average
tax levy of G.GC mills on the dollar , produc-
ng $2,521,003.72 , of which $2,208,910.26 were
appropriated by the last legislature , leaving
an excess ot levies over appropriations of
$312,063.46. :
The appropriations of the state have ex
ceeded < amounts derived from taxes of th *
past eight years by the sum ot $737,033.33.
or an excess of $230,946.37 In appropriations
over total tax levies. In the opinion ot tha
auditor. ] he Is warranted In the
conclusion that no less than 10
> er cent ot state levies for the ensuing
jlennlum will bo delinquent. Modification
of revenue laws Is urged to Increase the
rate of levy possible by the State Board of
Squallzatfon. or , as an alternative , enforce
assessment of property at nearer Its real
value. It Is considered by the auditor to bo
too low at present. Rigid economy must
obtain In all departments In order that rev
enues may pay expenses of the state. Much )
valuable Information has been collected
.ouchlng the revenue laws of sister states.
The auditor also recommends that legislation
should be more specific In form of appro
priations by particularizing full amounts ana
purposes
The statement of mortgage Indebtedness of
the state Is Incomplete , as-the officers charged
with making these returns have failed to do
so. Laws concerning the printing and dis
tribution of books , blanks , etc. . It Is recom
mended should be amended to define the exact
formsto be used.
SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY.
Many errors of long standing have been
corrected and a uniform system of accounts
Is being Installed. In Several Instances-
flclencles have been detected. The auditor
calls attention to the enormous expenditure ?
of legislative assemblies , and urges economy
In the future. The session of 1891 cost for
officers , members , employes. Incidentals , etc. ,
$143,833.35. The session of 1893 cost for the
same items $119,807.16 , or $24,026.19 less.
The session of 1891 cost over $1,001.45 for
each member , or $763.65 for Incidental ex
penses and clerk hire for each member , and
$317.80 for salary and mileage. The session
of 1893 cost $902.31 , or $317.16 for salary and
mileage , and $585.13 for Incidentals and hire.
In the opinion if the auditor the Insurance
laws of the state should be repealed and
others enacted. Life and accidental Insurance
methods he considers mperfect. Bonds of all
classes aggregating $1,935,007 have been
registered In the auditor's office during the
past two years , and $200,000 worth of bonds
refused registry owing to legal defects. The
present banking laws are touched upon and
a vigorous law recommended covering bond
and Investment companies.

In a recent newspaper letter Joe Howard

rears ago In New York. The amount stolen
rras : $1.450.000 , and the affair was a big sen
sation at the time. , >
The men were arrested , .convicted and sen
tenced to prison for ten years. They were
cor on circumstantial evidence ,

Ten years later the two prisoners were dls-
harged. In the warden's1 offlco stood a
toauttful young woman who had Just been
released after .after . serving a terra lor rob-
lilng her mistress. The three stepped Into
the street together , and the younger of the
two men , a man of 40 , proposed to the girl
that she should masquerade as his wife , but
bo treated as hla. sister , for a few months
or a year , receiving In the meantime a good
support | and $10,000 In cash at the end of
her service. The proposition was accepted , and
ill three made their way to Brooklyn , where
the , elder disappeared and the younger man
hired a suite of rooms for himself and his
companion. .

ceived a letter from Ills older comrade ,
ma from a town In the Interior ot Con
ne < . The woman was Instructed to go
° Hartford and Inquire at the postofllce for
letter addressed to Mrs. Dlank. In that
letter she would find her orders. She obeyed.
and following the Instructions In her letter
received a trunk from an unknown parson ,
which she carried to her pretended husband
Brooklyn.
That trunk contained $1,450,000 In money

The two men then gave Mary , as they
called the girl , $10.000 , a handsome outfit

sworn never to utter a word about their re
lations.

NEW YORK , Nov. 30. William Stelnway
ins contributed aomo ot his personal recol
lections of Anton Rubinstein to a musical
journal , which will bo published tomorrow.
Referring to the visit of Rubinstein to this
country , ho says :
"Ono day Mr. Rubinstein came 'to me ,
learlng in his arms a largo bag ot gold and
sliver. He then told me that having heard
n Europe that the majority of the people
, n America wcro 'rascals' and that their
paper currency in most Instances was not ,
: oed , ho had exacted in his contract that
Ills money should bo paid to him In coin , ?
semi-monthly In advance. The flrst two
weeks' salary he was holding In his arms , and
did cot have the least Idea what to do with
It. I explained thp depreciated currency to
lilin. told him that the system was ut any
rate better than In Russia , where It was at
a discount ot CO per cent , and advised him
to promptly sell his specie.
"Before lie left New York for his tours
through the country he called at Stelnway
hall one afternoon about G o'clock for his
mall. A bulky registered letter had come
for htm und It contained letters from hlj
children , a long letter from his wlfo and
newly taken photographs of his family.
Tears came Into his eyes as ho unit ! to me :
'Friend Stelnway , I feel BO happy that I
must play for you. '
"Meantime It had grown late and every
thing was closed for the day. Four other
musical gentlemen whom ho personally knew
had come In. Tbe doors were closed and he
sat down at the grand Stelnway piano to
play for us. Twelve o'c'.ock at night found
us there spellbound , ter such heavenly playIng -
Ing tfo had never heard before.
"Then and only then I realized what four
celebrated men could do. Goethe , who wrote
the poem of the 'Erl King ; ' Franz Schubert ,
who had composed tha melody ; Franz Liszt ,
who had transcribed It for the pianoforte ,
and Anton Rubinstein , who could play It.
At the risk of being called sentimental I
must say that on that memorable night It
appeared to us as If we heard the voice ot
the little child , the clattering of the horse'n
feet , the wild entreaties ot Erl King as
plainly as if wo had witnessed It all our-
selves.
"On Wednesday , September 14 , 189 ? , I
visited Dresden and received an Invitation
from him to call and see him at his hotel ,
He received me In the most friendly man *
ner , and said : 'Now , friend Stein way , let
us have a chat about America , the great
country which I have never forgotten , and
from which I receive almost weekly tokens
ot friendship. '
"After describing to him the Immenta
progress In America toward appreciating
really good music , and that especially to thu
reflwrnunt and culture of our American
ladle * was duo the lilKh state of art and
taste for music , I was staggered by Rubin
stein's reply.
" 'Well , friend Stelnway.1 said he. 'I think
ladles ought nuver to study muslo as an
art. At least they ought not to take up the
tlmo of teachers who are able to teach and
mnke true artists. And I will tell you why , '
he added. 'There Is no question but there
are twenty musical ladles to ono musical
man , and my own experience Is that they
learn more quickly , have more poetry , and In
fact are more diligent pupils than men , nut
what Is the Invariable
result ? Wbeo a
young lady has become a perfect artlit some
handsome mustache comes along , and inn
chooses the htndtom * mustache in Drefer-
enco ta her art. "
