j satchel and disclosed to the view of one
j of the clerks a valuable bonnet which
I had been stolen from the store nearly
a year ago. lne proprietor was in
formed of the fact and in due time the
young lady was accused of the theft.
She admitted her guilt and on making
restitution, was permitted to return
home. Today Chief llershman went to
Virginia and arrested her on a charge
of having stoleu valuable trimmings
from the store of Begole & Van Arsdale
about two months ago. She broke
down and confessed to the charge, was
arrested and brought here for trial.
She was arraigned before Judge Enlow
and as a plea of guilty was entered no
trial was necessary. The court assess
ed a nominal fine and restitution of the
property, which was paid. Miss Sev
erence lives with her parents at Vir
ginia and the fact of her arrest caused
a big commotion. She says she does
not know why she stole the things.

So fas as the Westover-
Bartow case is concerned, it is practi

populist candidate. The referee ap
pointed to take testimony reported to
the supreme court today and the case
was argued. It was shown that West
over has a clear title to the ' office on
the face of the returns, and Bartow
concedes his election. The proceedings
in court, however, cut down Westover's
plurality from eleven to 6ix.
In the Welty-Norris contest case the
supreme court granted the application
for a writ of mandamus to compel the

gued, submitted and the writ allowed
as prayed for.
The State vs LI ill.
A supplemental answer has been
filed in the case of the state against
ex-Treasurer J. E. Hill, whose trial is
set for December 2. This answer is in
the form of statements from the prin
cipal, Hill, and six of the bondsmen
sued for the 230,000, alleging the fol- j
lowing facts, which have occured since
the previous trial of the action:
That on or about the 4th day of Sep
tember, 1395, Joseph S. Bartley, treas
urer of the state of Nebraska, acting
in his official capacity as such treasurer
and under and by direction of the state
of Nebraska, commenced against Kent
K. Hayden, receiver of the Capital Na
tional bank of Lincoln, Neb., in the
circuit court of the United States for
the district of Nebraska, an action to
recover of the said receiver as the rep
resentative of the said Capital National
bank, which had heetofore gone into
the hands of said receiver for liquida
tion, the identical money sought to be
recovered in this action, to-wit: The
sum of S236.361.83, with interest there
on at 7 per cent per annum from the
20th day of January, 1893, being the
identical moneys appearing as a credit
in said bank in favor of the plaintiff,
and the same money sued for in this
action.
Attached to this is a copy of the pe
tition in the action commenced in the
United States circuit court at Omaha.
House Chairmanships.
New York, Dec. 2. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
"Representative Dingley of Maine is
to be chairman of the committee on
ways and means and leader of the
House of Representatives. Mr. Reed,
who has been very secretive as to his
intentions in regard to committee ap
pointments, has allowed this informa
tion to get out finally. It is of the
highest importance as indicating that
( the new speaker does not intend to be
influenced so much by seniority of
service in making up the committees
' as by the fitness of men for the places
which he has to fill.
'Other important chairmanships
that are understood to have been
definitely decided upon by Mr. Reed
are: Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, committee
on foreign affairs; Henderson of Iowa,
appropriations; Mr. Hepburn of Iowa,
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce; Walker of Massacdusetts,
committee on banking and currency;
Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania, com
mittee on postoffices and post roads;
Mr. Boutelle of Maine, committee on
naval affairs; Mr. Milliken of Maine,
committee on public buildiugs and
grounds; Mr. Hermann of Oregon,
committee on rivers and harbors; Mr.
Da niels of New York, committee on
' elections; Mr. Harmer of Pennsylva
nia, committee on District of Columbia,
j "As Mr. Reed's selection as speaker
was a foregone conclusion, he had am
ple opportunity during the recess to
block out the committees and decide
'upon the various chairmanships.
I The members themselves generally
; wrote to him their aspirations. It is
believed that before he arrived here
almost all the important places had
been decided upon. It is understood,
! though, that a few of the important
assignments are yet in controversy.
It was for a time proposed to make
Mr. Payne, of New York, chairman of
the ways and means committee, and
Mr. Dingley had consented to give
way in order not to embarrass Mr.
Reed. Now, however, that plan has
been changed and Mr. Dingley will
have the place of honor, with Mr.
Payne second."
THE U. S. ARMY.
WESTERN EXPOSITION
Never Tn Its History Has Its Present
1 Fine Condition Ueen Surpassed.
Washington, Dec. 1. Secretary cf
WTar Lamont has submitted his annual
report to President Clc ind.
The report shows that tue expenses
of the war department for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1695, were
937.7S0. The appropriation for the
current fiscal year is 840,466,571, and
the estimate for the following year is
551,945,643.
The secretary calls attention to the
reduced appropriation for the pay de
partment for last year, which left the
paymaster general without sufficient
funds to meet the aimy pay roll for
the last month of the year. The sec
retary gave his personal note to meet
the deficiency of $2 4,000, and recom
mends an appropriation to reimburse
him.
"The army," says Secretary Lamoat,
"is better fed, clothed and housed
than ever before, and the policy zeal
ously pursued of promoting the per
sonal comfort of the otlicers and men
has resulted in a devotion to the ser
vice which is everywhere apparent.
It -can be said with confidence that
never in its history has the present
condition of the army been surpassed."
The number of enlisted men in the
army, as shown by the report, is
25,35a, and the efrective list is placed
at 20,584.
Secretary Lamont renews his recom
mendation of last year that the Pres
ident be authorized to appoint ten
cadets at large to the Military Acad
emy at West Point each year, to fiil
vacancies caused by the failure of rep
resentatatives to appoint.

A SCIENTIST FOR WAR.
Professor Marcos Baker Favors Fight
Ing Instead of Arbitrating for Alaska.
Washington; Dec. 2. Professor
Marcus Baker of the coast and geodetic
survey, who went .to Alaska for the
United States in connection with the
boundary dispute, in a lecture on
Alaska before the National Geogra-
pnists society in the rooms
of the Cosmus club, last night,
scouted the idea of arbitrating
the question of England's claim
to the 5,000 square miles of territory
between Portland canal and Beam
canal on the southeast border of
Alaska, and said that the only arbitra
tion admissible was the arbitration of
battle if the British claims should be
insisted upon. The sentiment w-s
loudly applauded, and at the close of
the address Mr. Baker was invited by
a popular. vote to repeat the lecture in
a larger hall.
Did for New Battleships.
Washington, Dec. 2. When the
bids for building the two big battle
ships authorized by the last Congress
were opened at the navy department
to-day, it was found that the Newport
News, Va., Ship Building Company
had underbid all competitors, North
and West, and that Mr. Cramp had of
fered to build two battleships with
armor for the hulls and throw in an
other ship of like type, but without
armor, if allowed to use his whole
plans, for the sum fixed upon by Con
gress as the ultimate cost of two ships.
These boats will really be larger than
the Iowa, the largest of the present
battleships.
The Trans-Mississippi Congress. ,
Omaha, Nov. 30. At the Trans-Mississippi
congress held in this city reso
lutions were adopted in favor of a con
gressional appropriation for defending .
tiie harbor of San Diego by water ves

congress be asked to take such steps as
may be necessary to hold a Trans-Mis- '
sissippi exposition in Omaha in the '
months of August, September and Oc- J

ries in congress be requested to favor

such cases to assist in carrying out this !

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.
Hundreds of Millions Wasted Evry Year
In America.
Washington, Nov. 23. The road in
quiry bureau of the Department of
Agriculture has received returns from
about 1,200 counties, showing the aver
age length of haul from farms to mar
kets or shipping points to be twelve
miles, the average weight for a load
for two horses 2,002 pounds and the
average cost per ton per mile twenty
five cents. Estimating the farm pro
ducts at 219,824,227 tons in weight,
and making estimates on other arti
cles carried over the public roads, it is
calculated that the aggregate expense
of this transportation in the United
States is $04o,4l4,6C3 per annum.
Reports have been asked from the
United States consuls abroad of tho
expense of hauling where the roads
are good, so as to render possible a
calculation which will show how much
of this vast outlay is due to bad roads.
The estimate is ventured, however,
upon information in the ofiice, count
ing the loss of time in reaching mar
kets, the enforced idleness and the
wear and tear to the live stock and
hauling machinery caused by poor
roads, that two-thirds of the cost
might be saved by improvement of the
roads.
FREE SILVER DEBATE ON.
The Trans-Mississippi Congress Unable to

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 2a. The Trans
Mississippi congress elected ex-Congressman
W. F. Bryan president late
yesterday afternoon and listened to

The congress consumed part of to
day's session in a discussion of the

tancy was exhibited about provoking
a discussion on this topic, but when
the ice was broken the delegates be
came quite voluble.

Fourteen Miners Crashed to Death.
Carmei,, N. Y., Dec t. An acci
dent resulting in the loss of thirteen
or fourteen lives occurred at the
Tilley-Foster mines a little after 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Fore
man Patrick was descending into the
pit to take the time of two gangs of
laborers, numbering about thirty-five
men, who were working at the bot
tom, when a vast weight of earth and
rock slid with the force of an ava
lanche from the mouth of the pit to
the bottom, a distance of 300 feet.
The earth crashed over the men with
tremendous force. Out of one gang
of eleven only five came out alive, and
three of the men employed in another
gang were taken out dead. Several
of the workmen were severely injured.
Many accidents have occurred at the
Tilley-Foster mine, but none has been
attended by so great a loss of life as
this.

Review of Trade.
New York, Dec. J. R. G. Dun A
Co's weekly review of trade says:
Business has not improved, though
there is very little change except in
the shrinkage of prices which a period
of inaction naturally causes. After
the extraordinary buying of the sum
mer and early fall a marked decrease
was inevitable and it is yet too early
in most branches to judge how far the
future was anticipated in purchases.
Retail stocks are still reported full in
nearly all branches, with delayed
distribution in many on account of
unfavorable weather. The movement
of crops is only fair, both cotton and
wheat being largely kept back in the
hope of higher prices, and there is a
prevalent feeling that foreign imports
will fall off.
