The electric light power house in Walioo was burned the other morn ing. Loss about $4,000 with no insur ance. The fire, no doubt, was an acci dent. The plant belonged to S. H. Jones of Wahoo and the loss falls heavily upon him. Nearly all of the machinery, switchboards and connec tions were ruined. Nearly forty of Grigsby's rough rid ers from Nebraska and South Dakota arrived last week. C. R. Larimer, from Raymond, this state, says that at least one-third of the regiment are on the sick 1'st.

A company has been organized with a capital of $10,000 and will commence work at once on buildings, kilns, etc. All varieties of plain and glazed tiling will be manufactured. The clay, of which there is an In exhaustible supply, has been given a thorough test by men experienced in the manufacture of tiling and has been pronounced of excellent quality. A inte weather crop bulletin says: The rainfall has been above normal in all except the extreme northeastern , counties, where it has been light— from a quarter to half an Inch. In the southern half of. the state It has exceeded an inch, and in most of the counties smith of the Platte river it has ranged from two to five inches. A little snow fell in western counties on the 9th and 10th, melting as fast ns it reached the ground. Captain Alien O. Fisher and a num ber of men, members of Company H, Second Nebraska regiment, returned to t hadron from Omaha, where they nave been in camp since leaving Chlckamauga. The men are on a thir ty days’ furlough, after which they re turn to Omaha to be mustered out. The return of these soldiers was made a holiday in Chadron and a demon stration never before equaled in the city marked the occasion. All the railroads centering in Oma ha report good rains along their re spective lines. The Burlington re ports rain along most of its lines in til’s state, with snow along Wyoming branch. The hardest fall of rain re ported by the B. &■ M. is at the follow ing points: Plattsmouth. .42 inch; Omaha, .32; Ashland. 5; Sehuvler. .30; Seward. .70; Grand Island. 1.25: Kear ney. 1.25: Rulo, .40; Nemaha. .55; Ne braska City, .45; Tecumseh, .75; Hick man, C5. A. T. Riley has returned from Okla homa with a carload of fresh material which is being placed in the exposi tion. It comprises grains melons, corn, fruit, cotton, minerals and sam pler of products generally. Among the apples are pippins, some of which are between fourteen and fifteen inches in circumference. A rarity is what is called prehistoric corn, it is c.f a chocolate color and the samples here are from corn that went sixty to seventy bushels to the sere. Judge Cornish, in the Lancaster dis trict court, rendered a decision in which he holds that the act of the last legislature, known popularly as the deficiency Judgment law. is valid The act created a great deal of interest at the time it was pending and its opponents contended that it waR in valid in that it effected contracts by depriving the creditor of his ritrht to recover the full nmount of his' debt when the mortgaged property did not bring enough to pay it off. Judge Cornish holds that the act merely gives the mode of procedure and does not. prevent the creditor from bringing an action at law on the notes and recov ering full judgment. Captain Baxter, quartermaster of the Department of the Missouri, U. S. A., has received a teegran ’rom the Mar department officially L forming him that the Twenty-second infantry has been ordered to Fort Crook. Flans for the reception to be tendered to the regiment are delayed by a lack of knowledge of how and when the men will return. If the Burlington road should secure the contract for hauling the regiment the soldiers will not come through Omaha. The trains will cross the river at Plattsmouth and go from there directly to Fort Crook. If any of the three other Chi cago lines handle the business of the soldiers will pass through the Omaha l nion depot, and an opportunity for a demonstration there will be af forded. At a meeting of the directors of the Decatur creamery it was decided tosus pend the making of butter for a while Some dissatisfaction has been existing among the patrons of late, the chief complaint being not enough money is being paid for butter fat.

One of the cars in train was a large furn iture car and crowded against the platform in such a manner that his left arm was broken. m«S' FI I Dili. I The Cabinet Shifts the Responsi bility of a Revision. UNABLE TO GET TOGETHER. ACommUsIon Appointed by the Minister of Justice Will Do Over the Papers and Decide Whether a lietrlal Is Justified —Cabinet Changes Likely. P uns. Sept. Hi.—At a meeting of the cabinet ministers to-day it was decided | to submit the documents in the Drey* | fus case to a commission to be selected I by the minister of justice, M. Sarrien. The minister for war, General Zurliu den, and the minister for public works. Senator Tillaye, left before the coun cil adjourned, which is interpreted as meaning that they do not agree with their colleagues in this matter and that they intend to resign. The council met at the Elysee palace at half past 9 o’clock, President Faure presiding. According to a semi-official note the minister of justice said that nfter having examined the papers he felt unable to decide upon the ques tion of the proposed revision of the Dreyfus case until ho had taken the opinion of a special committee of the ministry of justice. The cabinet there upon authorized the minister to sum mon a committee (or the purpose. It is reported now that the portfolio of minister of war will be offered to General Lebrun or M. DeFreycinet, and that if thev refuse to accept the office "Nl. brisson. will assume the du ties of minister of war, in addition to the premiership, and M. Vallee will be appointed minister of the interior. The reason that a retrial is so dreaded by the French military chiefs is that it may prove Dreyfus innocent. This would he a shock to the prestige of the army chiefs who convicted him. A retrial would also make public se crets connected with the French spy system; it might show that Russia was not the implicit friend of France and it might disclose general incompetence in the army management. Official circles and the public gener ally are in no way perturbed by ttie news from Fushoda. On the contrary they appear to he indifferent. Much greater excitement prevails respecting the Dreyfus affair. A curious story is published that a passenger steamer which, while pass ing Devil's Island approached closely in order to enable the passengers to see the habitation of Captain Dreyfus, was fired on four times by cannon on tlie island. It was learned afterwards that all vessels venturing too near were similarly greeted. DEATH CLEARS O’BRIEN’S LIFE. At SanHnjo the Hoind.iU of the Homeyn Court IMiirtl.il Were Wiped Out. Washington, Sept. 19.—The death of Lieutenant Michael .1. O'Brien, ut Santiago, is reported here. Lieuten ant O'Brien was a principal in the no torious O'Hrien-Koineyn court martial at Fort McPherson, Oa., last year. The lieutenant was appointed to West Point from Massachusetts seven teen years ago, and was an honor graduate of the infantry and cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth in 1893. Such was liis record that he was de tailed by the government to observe the Chines* Japanese war and report on it. On the parade ground at Fort Mc Pherson last year he publicly accused Captain Henry Homeyn, a vcderan of the civil war, of slandering his wife. Homeyn slapped O'Brien in the face. A court-martial followed, in which O'Brien preferred charges against Homeyn. A nest of scandals was un covered at Fort McPherson and Homeyn was retired from the service. Charges of drunkenness and conduct' unbecoming an officer were then brought against Lieutenant O'Brien. To escape trial he resigned from the army last fall. At the outbreak of the war lie re entered the service and died doing his duty at Santiago. If Ail All Medicines XpcpMury, Washington, Sept. iu.— Major Ily sell, chief surgeon of the Second divis ion.

Sept. lu.—The Philippine general assembly was inaugurated at .Malolos yesterday with great enthus iasm. There were thousands of visit ors from the province, and a great dis play was made. Aguinaldo, who was received with cheers and also with cries of “Viva America!” by the large crowd of natives inside and outside the hall, read a decree convening the mem bers. who included several Spaniards. He next read a message eulogizing the army, and thanking the friendly na tions which had set the historical ex ample of liberty and had assisted a downtrodden race. Continuing, Aguinaldo urgently and eloquently exhorted the assembly to “follow the noblest principles" and in voked the “spirits of the martyred Filipinos.” The assembly then ad journed for the day. During the afternoon many Ameri cans , and Europeans arrived and Aguinaldo was kept busy receiving visitors, including the American con sul. Aguinaldo professed entire ignor ance of the autonomous system in vogue in the Hritish colonies, of pro tectorates and of American state autonomy, lie said he was unable to understand the idea and only under stood “absolute Independence.” Per sonally, he believed a protectorate for the Philippine islands was desirable, but he feared that the people would lie disappointed in this. He had not studied political economy and knew nothing about the various forms of government. He inquired whether Australia was an American colony, and said he had never heard of a .Malay protectorate. Continuing, the insurgent leader said there was no need for protection for the Philippine islands, because the Filipinos were uble to cope with any army. He admitted that be had never seen a foreign army, with the excep tion of the garrisons at Hong Kong and Singapore and he had never seen these troops on parade. AguinahUj refused to discuss the American army nnd protested his un dying gratitude to the Americans. He said they had come to the Philippines to fight the Spaniards only. and. now that they had finished the task, it was to be expected that they would return to America, lie was unwilling to be lieve that the Americans would de mand a reward for an act of humanity and he declined to admit the necessity of a quid pro quo. The Filipino leuder expressed him self confident that the newly founded government would build a navy ulti mately. In the meantime, he said, the great nation should protect and aid a young nation, instead of grabbing her territory. If the Americans should refuse to withdraw, the national as sembly, he said, must decide the policy to bo pursued—a policy which lu de clined to forecast. BODY OF JONES WAS GONE. Victim of Lynchers Heroine Subject for Dissecting? Table. Liberty. Mo., Sept. 19.—There has been talk for two days that the grave of Benjamin Jones, who was lynched Sunday night for criminal assault on little Annie Montgomery, was empty, and that the body had been taken to Kansas City by medical students. One of the sons, M. \V. Jones, came here from Randolph yesterday, and going to the cemetery with Sheriff Hvtner and Deputy Thompson, had the grave opened. The box and the coffin were there, but the body was not. The coffin lid was on, but not screwed down. Jones' sons guarded the grave two nights, but Wednesday night no one watched it. They say they will try to recover the body. GEN. HASKELL DROPS DEAD. One of the Heroes of El Caney Falls a Victim to Apoplexy. Coi.i’MBi’9, Ohio, Sept. 19.—Brigadier General Joseph 'T. Haskell died sud denly at his home at the Columbus post about 4:HO yesterday afternoon, lie was stricken with apoplexy, the excitement through which he had passed during tho day, in connection with the home coming of a part of his command, being the imme diate cause of the attack. General Haskell commanded the Seventeenth infantry at the battle of El Caney and was twice wounded, in the left shoul der and knee. He came home about a month ago and was rapidly recovering. 1'nymanter Was a Negro. Washington, Sept. 19.—Paymaster General Stanton has turned over to the President all the papers relating to the recent unpleasantness growing out of the refusal of a Texas regiment to receive pay from Major Lynch be cause he is colored. The President has taken no definite action beyond ex pressing approval of General Stanton's course iu sending a sharp dispatch to the commanding paymaster of that department, stating in effect that as Major Lynch had been regularly com missioned by the President as an army paymaster, the troops must take their pay from him or else go without pay. Thus the matter stands, with the pa pers before the President. W'll Drive French Out. London, Sept. 19.—A dispatch to the Morning Post says General Kitchener has absolute authority to claim Fash oda as Egyptian territory and to ex pel the present occupants forcibly, if necessary.

PASSED AWaY IN IRELAND. Trouble With III.* Church II td Marred the Closing Year—He lVa« « (ireat Social Favorite—Ills Wedding Fees Amounted to IS.’SO.OOO a Year. Belfast, Ireland, Sept. 19. — The Rev. l»r. John Ilall ot New York died this morning at Bangor, county Down. He was planning to sail for America shortly to take up his work as pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church of New York. Nkw York, Sept. 19.—The death of Dr. Hall comes just at the time when the troubles that clouded the end of his long pastorate of thirty years over the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church of this city were clearing. Dr. liali's connection with the church began in 1Sc7, and eight years later ids mem bers built a church costing #1.000,000 at Fifth avenue and Fifty-first street. Dr. Hull s trouble began last summer in his support of Herman Warszawiak, a Jewish missionary of the church. Warszawiak was found guilty of mis conduct by the session and was ex pelled from the church. Dr. Hall's sympathies were with Warszawiak, and his attitude at that time antagon ized the members of the session. Dr. Hall resigned in January. His friends declared the trouble over the Warszawiak incident had nothing to do with the resignation. The trustees refused to accept it. but there was so much dissatisfaction expressed over the action that they resigned in a body. A new board was elected, but Dr. Hall was retained. His rigid adherence to Calvinism was not in accordance with the views of his people, but the vener ation felt for him was too great for his people to let him go. He was, there fore, given a vacation, which has just ended with his death. Dr. Hall was born in County Armagh, Ireland, July 31, 1829. He was of Scotch descent. It is said that his wedding fees often amounted to S30.000 a year. He gave a great deal of money to the poor. An attempt was made on his life by John G. Roth, an insane man, seven years ago. Roth tired at him three times, hut missed hi in. Socially, Dr. Hall was a great favor ite in New York, and it is said that his polished manners won him a suc cess with his fashionable congrega tion that intellect never could have done. He was in disfavor with the Vanderbilts and some of the other rich members of the congregation in the last few years because he per formed the marriage ceremony for weddings of which they did not ap prove.

Santiago i>k Cuba, Sept. 19.—The thieving of the Cubans was shown Thursday, when fifty Cubans, who had been employed about the docks, were placed on easier work by Lieutenant Hanna To his surprise, they struck. They were discharged. They have been paid in rations, and the oppor tunity to steal at the docks was too at tractive to be resisted. The products of their thieving they would sell to the small dealers, thus adding to the legitimate results of their labor. Plenty of food renders the ordinary Cuban indisposed to work.

GENERAL SHAFTER'3 REPORT, Washington M-.tkvs It I’uhllo Through tho Tress. Washington. Sept. 10.—Oeneral fdiaftcr's report of the campaign which terminated in the fall of Santiago has been made public He briefly recounts the organization of the expedition amt its ombarkment. and then devotes thf main body of the report to the activq operations about Santiago. The general goes into lengthy detail over the landing of troops, the battles fought, the surrender of Santiago, etc., all of which is already well known to newspaper readers. Nothing is made public of the Scovel incident, or the alleged misunderstanding with General Aiiles or of the tilt with Garcia. In closing he says: “Hefore closing my report I wish to dwell upon the natural obstacles I had to encounter, and which no foresight could have overcome or obviated. The rocky and precipitous coast afforded no sheltered landing places, the roads were mere bridal paths, the effect of the tropical sun and rains upon the unacclimated troops was deadly, and a dread of strange and unknown diseases had its effect on the army. “At liaiquiri the landing of troops and stores was made at a small wooden wharf, which the Spaniards tried to burn, but unsuccessfully, and the an imals were pushed into the water and guided to a sandy beach about 200 yards in extent. At Siboney the land ing was made on the beach and at a small wharf erected by the engineers. “I had neither the time nor the men to spare to construct permanent wharves. In spite of the fact that I had nearly 1,000 men continuously at work on the roads, they were at times impassable for wagons. “The San Juannnd Aguadores rivers would often suddenly rise so as to pre vent the passage of wagons, and then i the eight pack trains with tho com mand had to be depended upon for the victualing of my army, as well as the 20,000 refugees who could not, in tho interests of humanity, be left to starve while we had rations. Often for days nothing could be moved except on pack trains. “After the great physical strain and exposure of July 1 and 2 the malarial and other fevers began to rapidly ad vance throughout the command, and on July 4 the yellow fever appeared at Siboney. Though efforts were made to keep this fact from the army, it soon became known. “The supply of quartermaster and commissary stores during the cam paign was abundant and notwithstand ing tlie difficulties in landing and transporting the rations, the troops on the firing line were at all times sup plied with its coarser components, namely, oat bread, meal, sugar and coffee. There was no lack of trans portation, for at no time up to the surrender could all the wagons I had be used. “In reference to the sick and wounded I have to say that they re ceived every attention that it was pos sible to give them. The medical offi cers, without exception, worked night and day to alleviate the suffering, which was no greater than invariably accompanies a campaign. It would have been better if we had more am bulances, but as many were taken as was thought necessary, judging from previous campaigns.” Dreyfus Revision Is Certain* Paris, Sept. 16.—It is now taken for granted that General Zurlimien, min ister for war, will resign on Saturday, all the efforts of his colleagues to per suade him to accept revision having failed.
