THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. Aug. 20, 1896. RESULT OF THE HOT SPELL II HEW YORK AND BROOEYF. 1,000 DEATHS FROM HEAT. Undertaker OTrteed and Cemeterie Almost IJaable to Farnlsh Sufficient Graves Grave Digger Work Vlgbt and Day Nearly 1,700 Death la On Weak Weather Record. New York; An?. 18. Though the forces of grave digger were largely Increased and the men worked night and day, grave could not be sapplled to fill the demand at the cemeteries yesterday. There was also a shortage in hearses and it was necessary to borrow thirty elx from New Jersey town and twelve from Philadelphia. There were 400 Itinerate in New York during the day and over 200 in Brook lyn. These were greater than on any day in the history of the tiro cities. Friday, Saturday and yesterday saw more burials than any seven days of 'which cemetery bookkeepers can find any record. Children and aged people were comparatively little affected, for the number of children and old people among the dead had never in the hottest of weeks of any years been as small as last week. The average age of the persons in terred was 47 years. There were nearly twice as many men as women buried. All yesterday Father Costello stood in the tiny chapel at Holy Cross cem , etery and pronounced benediction for the dead. The funeral trains ap proached the chapel in double lines, the hearses massed around the en trance. Of the total number of dead in the two cities and vicinity since August 8, nearly 1,000 of them were directly duo to heat prostrations. In the Charleston, S. C, earthquake there were H deaths; in the great bluzasd of March, 1836, 100 people perished; in the blizzard which swept over the West January 11, 1888, 100 were killed; the Chicago fire caused 203 deaths; the St. Louis tornado of May -7 last, killed 838 people. These figures look small when compared with the 1,000 stricken here by the heat. In the same period the total deaths in this city and Brooklyn were 3,039, more than ever recorded in America in twice that period during times of the worst epidemic Of the 1,910 persons who died in this city last week, nearly 6u0 died Thurs day night, Friday, and Saturday. In Brooklyn in the same length of time there were 87S deaths. Hot Weather In Oklahoma. Guthhik, Okla. , Aug. 1 a The heat has been intense over the entire terri tory for ten days, ranging from 104 to 110. The late crops will be somewhat affected, but there is not enough of these to materially affect the genera result of an abundant yield. RIOTING IN BELFAST. Nationalist Stoned by Opponents Speara Used Police Wield Batons. Belfast, Aug. 18. This morning there were several processions of Na tionalists in favor of granting am nesty for the Irish political prisoners. They were finally merged into a large procession, headed by bandsmen armed with spears. The procession attracted immense crowds of people and stone throwing was begun. This enraged the Na tionalists and their bandsmen at tacked the crowds with their spears, wounding many people. The police charged the rioters and used their batons freely and several persons were hurt before order was restored Grave Robbers at Work. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 18. Now that the medical colleges are getting ready to reopen the grave robbers are beginning to operate to supply the demand for bodies for the dissecting rooms. One night last week ghouls visited the Ricket cemetery, five miles north of Harlem, in Clay county, and stole the body of Ralph H. Woods, 20 years old, formerly a clerk in the em ploy of the National Security com pany of this city, an auxiliary 'of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust company. The body was recovered on condition that no arrests should be made and no questions asked. Am Aeronaut Banged by a Tree. Dallas, Aug. 18.

Stbomsbubo, Neb., Aug. 18. S. D. Clifford, an intellectual farmer who tills the soil a couple of miles from here, has recently astonished citizens with a story that has caused local Man chausens to turn green with envy. According to the tale that Mr. Clifford nnfoldsa pair of red-headed wood peckers took up their abode in a hol low tree in front of his house in the early spring. Four eggs had been laid when a colony of bumble bees took possession of of the tree and drove the woodpeckers forth into the world to hustle as best they could. Although the bees had treated the woodpeckers in a very scurvy manner, they showed more regard for the eggs that were left behind. In the course of time they succeeded in hatching them. No sooner had the four young wood pecks opened their eyes to the world than the bees began to hustle food for them. It was no uncommon sight, says Mr. Clifford, to see six or seven patriarchial looking bees heroically carrying an immense worm to the expectant and always hungry little woodpeckers. In fact the colony of honey gatherers deserted the flowers altogether and engaged in a hunt for slugs, beetles, grasspoppers, and other delicacies so dear to a young bird's heart. The woodpeckers at length grew big enough to fly, and when they finally left the nest there was much mourning among the foster parents. , The bees are now working overtime & order to make up for the valuable time they lost. Mr. Clifford is of the opinion that despite their remarkable handicap they will accumulate a respectable store of honey before the days become teo cold for further effort; GRAND ARMY REUNION t the Ground Beady to be Dotted With Thousand of Tents. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18. J. H. Cul- ver, department commanaer oi me Grand Army, visited Lincoln Saturday to consult with members of the local committee which has been making ar rangements for the reunion. During the afternoon he inspected the reun ion grounds, accompanied by Adjutant General Gage, O. E. Goodell, who is is one of his aides, and, and J. B. Fur guson and other local committeemen. The grounds were found in good con dition. Three thousand tents will be pitched this week. A great many bands have usually at tended the reunion. This year the commander and local committeemen have worked hard to secure transport ation, but it is likely that the number of bands to be carried free will not ex ceed ten, and the railway officials will probably have something to say about their selection. The western passen ger association has refused to carry bands free and any concessions made must come from Nebraska roads. Tried to Break JaU. Plattsmouth, Neb., Aug. 18. Low ell Adair, a young one-armed man con fined in the county jail here on the charge of burglarizing the B. & M. depot at Greenwood last week, made an unsuccessful attempt to break jail night before last. Sheriff Holloway uspected that he would attempt to get away and so placed a guard out side the iaiL Adair broke one of the iron legs off the bedstead in his cell and pried off several bars from the iron door. Just as he was in the act of crawling through the opening the watchman fired a shot from under the window, nearly scaring the young man out of his wits. He will probably not make another attempt. Pound by the Roadside. Stbomsbubo, Neb., Aug. 18. The other evening as H. G. Lowe was driv ing home he discovered a wrecked buggy by the Bide of the road about a mile northwest of town. Further in vestigation revealed Mrs. Charles Quist and baby in the weeds by the roadside. Mrs. Quist was badly injured about tha face and back. The baby was un harmed.

The Clark Bister Weaken and Hake Confession Eyster Was Brought Dragged Claim Bagey Bald Ha Going to Have the Old Han's Money, Lincoln, Neb., Ang. 19. Mande Clark and her sister confessed last night in the presence of the county at torney, the coroner and the police of ficers who have been working on the mysterious murder of w. F. Eyster, that, to the best of their knowledge, Cliff Uagey administered the drug which resulted in Mr. Eyster's death. She says that Hagey and Eyster came to her house and shortly afterward Eyster showed symptoms of being vio lently sick, finally falling over onto a bed in a stupor from which he could not be aroused, that while Maud was out to call her sister the robbery was committed; that they were thoroughly frightened and ordered Hagey to re move the man. They claim that Hagey at first refused to do so, but when they threatened to call the police, he took Eyster out and deposited him in the alley, where he was found later. They claim that Eyster was drugged before the parties came to their house. The police are very certain that the girls have told the truth. The time when they state the body was carried out tallies exactly with the time the tinner, Bullard, testified he saw it done. It is not thought that the man was drugged in the Clark resort, as it generally takes an hour or more for morphine or drugs of a similar nature to act. Eyster was not in the house altogether more than an hour. He was probably drugged on the outside and suspicion falls most heavily on Hagey as the man who did it. I. The coroner's jury , sitting on the case decided yesterday noon that Cliff Hagey was the man who administered the poison to Eyster which caused his death. Maud and Laura Clark were held as accessories to the deed. The county attorney will soon draw up the complaint. The complaint will charge murder in the first degree by poison. The Clark women will be charged with being accessories- after the fact. TOO MUCH RAZOR An Omaha Colored Man Ban Amuck and Carve a Woman. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 19. Early yes terday morning Julia Lanksen, a col ored woman, met a razor which was held in the hands of Bert Lamb, also colored, and she is now nursing a very sore head as a result. , She received three cuts, one in the forehead, anoth er on the cheek and the third in the back of the neck. After an examina tion, a physician decided that none ot the cuts were fatal or even serious. Lamb has been infatuated with the woman, but she had not returned his love. Recently she had taken up with another and he decided to do or die and went after the woman with his razor. Lamb went to the house where the woman was and upbraided his love, but as his words apparently pro duced little effect he seized the woman in his arms and proceeded to disfigure her.. He then tied and has not ye been captured. Town of Dannebrog Born. St. Paul, Neb., Aug. 19. The vil lage of Dannebrog, nine miles south west of here, was almost wiped out by fire about 3 o'clock yesterday morn' ing.

Among the heaviest loosers were the Uannebrog Estate bank, J. Jensen, general merchandise, Carl Christensen, furniture, C. Diercks & Co., hardware, and the Danish news paper.
