James Stevenson, of the United States geological survey, died in New York on tlio 25th. H. W. Moore's bond in the adultery case at Topeka, Ivas., for S5(K) was for feited on the 23d. JIauuison understands the situation Mn honest, intelligent man governed by good common sense. The senate of tho U. S. seems dispos ed to appropriate some of tho public money for homo defence. Randall still continues to improve in health. On the 27th u'lL, arrangements were making for his leaving to go to his own home. James G. Blaine is to arrive in Now York soon and ho will bo received by erhaps the largest crowd that ever greeted an American citizen. Gen. M. E. Patkick, governor or the National Soldiers' Home Tor disabled volunteer soldiers, died at Dayton, O., on the evening of tho 27th nil. One day last week tho steamships Amalfi and Rhaetia, from Hamburg and the La Bretnagne, from Havre, landed 1,287 immigrants at Castle Garden. Some of our exchanges are eagerly awititing Mr. Cleveland's letter of ac ceptance. We confess we are anxious to know how ho will explain free wool and taxed sugar. Many places in tho country the demo crats are deserting President Cleveland on the tariff question. It appears to a casual observer that his "good luck" is about to depart. Fkemont Emmons, who committed tho brutal murder of Bertha Schultz, at Pawnee City on tho 2Cth ult., it is said, now claims to have been insane when he committed the deed. Eight hundred thousand citizens outside of New York-city have already made application for places in the line of reception to James G. Blaine on his arrival in New York. A telegram from Idaho on tho 23d to Denver says Editor Moore and Mrs. Norton, arrived there Saturday morning and are living at one of the summer ho tels as man and wife. Editor Moore and Mrs. Norton the eloping couple from Topeka, were seen and recognized on a train at tho Santa Fe depot,Coli,by a person well acquaint ed with them, on the 27th ulL A disastrous rain and hail 6torm was reported at Sandusky, O., last week up rooting trees. Corn and other crops were damaged, while the fruit crop is literally ruined. The damage in Huron county will be 6100,000. T. E. Hoge, of brotherhood fame, and Mrs. S. E. Hoge, have each commenced libel suits in tho district court at Lin coln, claiming damages each of $25,000 against the Lincoln Daily News, for in- tiaiating that Hoge and his wife were blackmailers. A tariff conference of republican senators was held at Washington on tho night of the 25th at which a conclusion was reached that the finance committee shall prepare a tariff bill as a substi tute for the Mills bill, and that it then shall be reported to the senate and tak en op and passed, regardless of the length of time this may require. The Mills tariff bill is so inconsistent and special in its provisions of protec tion and revenue that democrats have become disgusted with it They cannot comprehend the justice of taxed sugar and free wooL Those interests to the citizens of the United States aro of great rslue, and the difference made in the -ttw articles in the Mills bill shows "briefly e injustice of the measure without gfting into lengthy detail. 'Democratedo jo approve of it and will 'JotwTpport demand, who recommend ed it Onn neighbor county, Merrick, is go ing to have an interesting time over the collection of tho deficit of W. H. Web ster, one of their ex-officials. His bonds men for two terms have been officially notified that suit will be brought against them at the next term of the district court for the recovery of tho amounts due the county the first set, S19.274.47, the second, 34,611.98. The Courier says that it now transpires that at his first bi ennial settlement with tho commission ers he was utterly unable to produce the money which his books called for, but that instead ho gave in as tho assets of tho county a large assortment of notes more or less secured by mortgages on various chattels throughout the county. In other words, he was at that time guilt- of embezzlement and tho com missioners knew it, but permitted him to go on through his second term, run ning the county still further lxhiiid and getting himself deeper into tho mire. J. T. Bohison, editor of tho Humph rey Independent, was a candidate from this district for 'float representative two ears ago. Our people remember him. Ho came U) the court lionso when the convention was in session and made us a speech. As to 1 ho speech we will say but little, but it made him no votes owing to its weakness. Ho was a rip roaring Van Wyek man then, but defeat caught him. Now ho" has another bee in his bonnet as he is out howling himself hoarse for Manderson and tlio excuses ho makes for his Hop aro awful to hear. And thus says the Schuyler Quill, but why so very unkind! Bro. Hobison is an exceedingly modest man, and h:i3 not even intimated, so far as known, that ho has any ambition to sen e his constituency in the stato legislature. England has sent seventy-live thous and Cleveland campaign bnttons to this country and they had to tarry in tho custom house until they had paid their tribute to the robber-barons of industry. Down with the despotic tariff! Why should not Cleveland campaign buttons bo manufactured in English shops? Does not England manufacture idols for India, Josses for the China trado and all sorts of fetiches for her friends and clients in Africa? Is this country to put up a Chinese wall against the importa tion of these great civilizing contrap tions? Bandanas and campaign buttons forbid! State Journal. Never in the history of the country, says a Nevada paper, has there been so dry a season as the present. Streams in Alpino county, which in tho past ten years have carried a good head of water, are now jis dry as a powder house, and tho Carson river has less water than ever was known at this time of tho year. Many of tho farmers of tho valley have already cut their grain for hay, because it is impossible to get water enough to mature it. The loss to the mining in terests and every one dependent upon river water for either motive power or irrigation is also beyond comprehension. Patent Granted To citizens of Nebraska during tho past week, and reported for this paper by C. A. Snow & Co., patent lawyers, opposite U. S. Patent office, "Washington, 1). C. J. E. Benjamin, Hubbell, churn; J. Dion, North Bend, welding bench for plows; W. II. Phillips, Lincoln, reversi ble trestle; W. II. Predmore, Walworth, calf weaner; W. T. Vandorn, Lincoln, toasting pan. The six story brick shoe factory of Krippendorf, Dittmau A- Co., of Cincin nati, was burned mi the morning of tho 24th ult. The loss on stock, manufac tured goods, machinery and building amounts to $310,000, which is total. Five hundred and fifty employes are thrown out of employment. No one can tell the origin of the tire. Rudolph Leiiic, of Chicago, a gun smith, was arrested on the morning of tho 2th charged with being the man who furnished the dynamite to tho con spirators who intended to assassinate the throe law officers most prominent in tho Hay-market prosecution. He is now behind tho prison bars, under bonds of S7",ooo. Hon. John Peters, of Albion, will bo a candidate for stato auditor, subject to tho action of the stato republican con vention. Mr. Peters has acquired a good name among his republican friends or Boone county, has served them as county clerk for twelve years, and was a mem ber of tho hist legislature. All doubts about Mr. Blaino's recep tion in New York on his return from England have been cleared up by a letter direct from tho distinguished guest, in which he says: "I am pro foundly gratified by yonr most kind and generous tenders of welcome, but I hope all will bo as simple and inexpensive as possible." A report comes from Vienna on tho 27th ult., that nineteen emigrant agents have been arrested at Cracow for incit ing natives of that district to emigrate to America. Bonds representing 1,000, 000 ilorines were found in their posses sion. It is said that other agents have been arrested at Brady and Czermowitz. Later dispatches from Kosloy, Wr. T., on tho 24th ult. states that the entire business section of tho town was totally destroyed by fire. Only a few small houses in tho outskirts were left stand ing. The loss will reach about S450.000. Over 150 families are left without homes, food or clothing. A statement comes from Qaeenstown on the 24th ult. that O'Connell, clerk of the New York court of common pleas, has lodged complaint .vith the authori ties there, in which he Bays his steps are constantly dogged by detectives and asks to be relieved of this unwarranted surveillance. A brief special to the St. Louis Post Dispatch under date of the 24th ult. says that one of the negro officials of Crittenden county, Ark., was hanged by a mob at Marion last night; that the nice war has broken out afresh and that a terrible stato of affairs prevails. On the 26th ult., a fire destroyed a frame house at Maynards, twelve miles west of Martin's Ferry, Ohio. The building was occupied by William Prosser, his son, John, aged ten years, and William Morgan, twelve yea of age, were burned to death. A volcanic eruption of Bandaisan, 50 leagues from Yokehama, has destroyed several villages and killed a thousand persons, including one hundred visitors 1 at Thermal Springs. A fresh crater had formed and the eruption on the 27th ult. was still active. DESERTING tiROVER.' Recruits for the Republican Ranktx New York special, 14: Everybody knows the firm of Thurber, Wyland & Co. to bo the greatest grocery house in the world. When they buy for man facture the raw material comes directly from the fannor and producer. Four years ago Horace K. Thurber, special partner in the firm, was, to the surprise of his friends, a strong advocate of the election of Grover Cleveland. Today he is as strongly opposed to him. To a re porter who yesterday sought an expla nation of his change of front Mr. Thur ber said: "Yes, it is true that I was in favor of Grover Cleveland four years ago, and I then gave my reasons for it. Now I believe it would be suicidal to vote for him or.rather, for the platform which ho represents. I would not vote Tor my own father if he favored tho de struction of American industries. I am an American and desire our country's best interests first, last and all the time. I am no politician, and have no axes to grind, but I am strongly in favor of a protective tariff because I believe it for tho good or our country and those who earn their bread in it. If the tariff is reduced, tho time and cost of importing is also reduced through the aid of steam and electricity. With the carrying trade of the ocean in the hands and under the control of Europe, what must be tho re sult? A reduction of pay to the Ameri can workmen in order to produce the same goods at tho same market price as European manufacturers do. Europe, if tho tariff be taken off, will be enabled to convoy our raw material across the ocean, manufacture it abroad, and return it to this country, made up into articles which we consume, much cheaper than we can do it ourselves. The result would bo a stoppage of work here or compulsory reduction of wages. Do these American workmen desire to place themselves on the same plane with the poorly paid workmen of Europe? That would be the result of the removal of tho tariff. I am desirous for the welfare of the American workmen before those of any other country, for their success would be mine, and I cannot see that the Mills bill, which has been endorsed by the St. Louis democratic convention and by President Cleveland, will be for their welfare. lam, therefore, opposed to it, and the president who favors it, not withstanding the fact that I supported and voted for him in 1884. "When every European paper hailed President Cleveland's message with de light, as tending toward free trade, it convinced me it was not for the best in terests of this country that he should be re-elected. Tho only way the wage earn er of this country can be protected is by protecting himself with his ballot. If the American workman desires that his home and homo comforts shall be on a par with tho impoverished working classes of Europe, he will vote for free trade. If otherwise, he will decline to vote for President Cleveland and the measure which ho represents." Buffalo, N. Y., special: Richard W. English, of Buffalo, who was democratic city auditor when Mr. Cleveland was mayor, has leen traveling this way. He says: "I shall take off my coat and do all in my power to aid tho election of Harrison and Morton. I know hundreds of democrats who voted for Blaine in 1884 who will do as I mean to do this year. On tho other hand, I know many republicans who voted for Cleveland who regret that they did so, and who desire to make amends by voting for Gen. Har rison. I am opposed to Mr. Cleveland because I know ho is untrue to the principles of American protection. Dur ing the campaign of 1880, when tho Gar field procession was passing through the streets or Buffalo.hundredsor democrats inarched under the republican banner of protection. I stood with Mr. Cleveland watching tho display. Pointing to tho democrats in tho ranks, I said: 'You 6ee now the results of a doubtful tariff pol icy.' ' Well,' replied Mr. Cleveland, 'it's all right isn't it? Free trade and sailor's rights isn't that right?' " Canton, O.: A prominent resident of Stark county, Horace G. McDowell, cashier of the Farmers' bank, of this city, and an extensive sheep owner, has re pudiated tho party of free trade, ne says he has hitherto been a Cleveland democrat, but ho is such no longer. Ho does not believe in free wool and is sending circulars all over tho country showing that the effect of the passage of tho Mills bill would be to ruin the wool industry of tho country. He says he has letters from all over the country show ing a sentiment almost unanimously against free trade, the Mills bill and Cleveland. St. Louis special: H. Clay Conde, rec ognized in St. Louis during the presi dential contest in 1876 as the relative and financial agent of Gov. Sam Tilden, the democratic condidate for president, has renounced his allegience to the dem ocratic party, and declares his intention of voting for Harrison and Morton in November. His disgust of democracy and its candidate for president rests, he says, on the tariff question and the fact thaj, he is not pleased with the manner in which Mr. Tilden was treated by President Cleveland. Mr. Conde pre dicts the election of the republican standard bearers this year. Columbus, Ind., special: The fact be came known here today that Samuel Cuteinger, a very prominent democrat and influential citizen of Edinburg, ten miles north of here, had severed his al legiance to the democratic party and joined the republican ranks. Mr. Cut singer is the owner of the large starch works at that place, and announces as his reason for the change that he is not in favor of free trade. Mike Lynch, of the same place, who has heretofore vot ed the democratic ticket, also says he will support Harrison and Morton. Buffalo, N. Y., special: Jonathan Sco ville is a manufacturer of car wheels, the possessor of plenty of moneys bach elor and a democrat. He was twice elected mayor of Buffalo by the demo crats, and once a member of congress. Ho says he thinks the policy of free trade, to which the democratic party iB pledged, is blamed foolishness, and that he will vote as he thinks. finlfina. HI., special: Wm. Scheerer J says: "Have always worked for the dem ocratic ticket, but connot conscientious ly do so any longer. Am .especially op opposed to Cleveland because of his con tempt for the soldier as shown by his pension vetoes, and on account of his free trade ideas, the aaopnon or wmen would prpye ruinous to 'American labor." Chester, Pai, special: Dr. J, L. For wood, a democrat of long standing, the acknowledged leader of his party in this county, president of the board of trade, and mayor for twelve years out of the last fifteen, has cut loose from the free trade ranks and announced himself in favor of the party of protection. Judge George W. Smith, of Herkimer, N. 1'., who has abandoned tho democ racy on account of its free trade policy and pledged his support to Harrison and Morion, was a friend and jmlitical associate of Samuel J. Tilden. It will be remembered that Mr. Cleveland never was a Tilden democrat and never had the confidence and support of tho sage of Gramercy. Eldora Herald: "Walter Harned, a lifelong democrat of Steamboat Rock, has declared his intention to vote for Harrison and Morton. He says he is go ing to vote for his old brigade command er, even if that vote should turn the election." Wheaton, 111., special: G. Mener, a lifelong democrat, says: "I have always voted the democratic ticket, but I am going to vote for Harrison. I knew his grandfather and remember his cam paign." The report of the director of the mint at Washington shows that Tor tho year 1887 the product of gold amounted to 833,000,000, and of silver to S53,:L77,000. The coinage of the mints during the calendar year was 860,379,151. Edward Pouscir, an eighteen years old lad of Columbus, Ohio, one day last weok while engaged in playing base ball was struck in the temple by a swift pitched ball and so badly injured that he died in a short time thereafter. The ball caused concussion of the brain. NEBRASKA XOTKS. Dr. Porter, who assaulted Mayor Saw yer of Lincoln, has been bound over to tho district court to answer to the charge. Mrs. David H. Figard and daughter, of Seward, were thrown from a carriage on the 26th ult., and seriously injured. Tho horse was frightened by another runaway. Miss Daisy Tylo, a llyears old daugh ter of Mrs. Jennie Tylo, of Beatrice, died suddenly in the afternoon of the 25th while in the cars, en route to Blue Springs. The cause of tho young girl's death is believed to be heart disease. John Miller, a farmer living near Hastings, was found dead in his wagon on tho afternoon of the 25th. He was returning homo from Hastings, where he had been and sold a lot of hogs. An in quest will be held which may ascertain the cause of his death. Fremont has passed an ordinance pro hibiting tho pasting of signs and hand bills on the telephone poles. It is believed that tho city council was prompted to tho act because it thought the proper place to advertise is in the newspapers. Samuel Dutson, Willie O'Brien and Jacob Heim were drowned in the Mis souri river at Omaha on the 26th ult. Tho lxys ranged in years from eight to fourteen. The bodies of Samuel Dutson and Willie O'Brien had been recovered at the time of making the report. Davis, ono of the youthful Waco bur glars, has been held to answer the charge before the district court in the sum of 81,000. The strongest point iu tho evi dence against him was a box found in the cellar of the Davis house, which con tained a note and other stolen property. Fremont Emmons, of Pawnee City, on the 26th about 7 o'clock in the evening, committed the horrible murder of Miss Bertha Schultz, by plunging a knite in to her breast and ieuetrating her lung. She lived only about twenty minutes. The cause for the deed was the refusal of Miss Schultz to marry him. Mayor Sawyer of Lincoln, one evening last week, while passing along the street to council meeting was attacked by Dr. Porter, who knocked him down and kicked him severely. The mayor is se verely injured. The trouble was about Potter's application for a position on the police force, which had been refused. George Johnson, colored, of Lincoln, has made complaint and had arrested on tho 24th nit. Robert McReynolds, pro prietor of Funk's opera house, and Wm.

Par ker, who left the position of the San Jose National bank, six years ago, taking with him 86,500 of stolen money. Par ker went straight to Canada and settled down to business. The son of W. J. Townsend of Beatrice was sent out into tho country about three miles after a load of cobs where they were shelling corn. The boy was standing by his team while the wagon was being loaded. He was suddenly taken ill, turned black in the face and fell to the ground. He died in a few- minutes. He had not lately been sick and no cause is assigned for his sudden death. William Stanbro, of Syracuse, as he was returning home on the night of the 23d was outrageously assaulted by Beven or eight masked young men with horse whips. Mr. Stanbro's face is terribly lacerated from the effects of the blows. Arrests are talked of and should they get the right parties, citizens believe there will lie some interesting develop ments made. James Johnson and A. G. Street with their wives, of Weeping Water, were re turning the other night from camp meeting; the team of horses became frightened, turned suddenly and over turned the carriage, throwing the occu pants to the grpnnd.

Johnstown, Neb., July 29. Special Telegram to the Bee. -The Bee corre spondent went out to Mr. Kenyon's to day with the expectation of finding John Anderson, who was imprisoned in the well nine days. On arrival he found that Anderson had gone home, two miles distant, where some of his neighbors were harvesting his wheat, which, owing to his accident, was needing it very much. Proceeding to the wheat field, Anderson was found walking alone to tho house to get something to eat, re marking at the time that "The man who boards me for tho next few days will not get rich very fast." He walks slowly and looks pale, but otherwise has chang ed try little. After appeasing his ap Ietite Anderson told tho story of his imprisonment. His story is given in almost his own words, and is as follows: "On" July 19 I went into a well belonging to R. H. Hall to clean it out and repair tho curbing. Tho well, which was 150 feet deep, w.is a very dangerous ono, and I felt as though I ought not to work in it but as I had made for myself a repu tation of being a good Avell digger I did not wish to impair it. Fifty feet down was where tho curbing needed most re pairing as at this point the old curbing hsfd given away and about a foot of sand all around tho well had caved in. After taking measurements I came out, put my curbing together and lowered it. suspended by four ropes to where I wanted it. Of course this curbing was smaller than the other and would have to be made fast. This I did by going below and nailing on tho old curbing 2x4 inch stuff. In tho new curbing I had laid three boards across the bottom letting them rest on the 2x4's which supported the curbing, thus forming a kind of box. I was in the box stuffing hay in behind preparatory to filling in the small cavity with dirt which I was going to have lowered to me and I was about ready to leave the well when I saw it beginning to cave above me. Jump ing into a bucket I called for those above to pull me up quick, but before a move could bo mado the sand and boards had completely closed in on mo and I was 'i prisoner. For tho first Tew minutes or my imprisonment words cannot express my feelings. That my time had come I did not doubt in tho least and the thought of such a horrible death as I would have to meet was terrible. After collecting my thoughts a little I discov ered I was held, fast in the bucket by two or three loards, but by a hard struggle, I managed to extricate myself from this position and dropped down into the box. From the bottom of the box it was three and one-half feet to the lioards above 'which, in falling, had formed themselves into an arch and pro tected me from the sand. The box was so crushed by tho pressure of tho wall that it was only nlout two feet square. Thus in the space allotted to me there was not room enough to stand erect, get on mi knees, or sit down, but I had to stay in a crouching position the whole time I was in tho well. "Aliout tho first three days of my prison life I got along very well, but after that I began to want water badly. The fourth day when it rained I heard what I thought was water slowly drip ping. Feeling around I found it and holding my mouth open I managed in this way to get about a dozen drops of water, which gave me much relief. I had no difficulty in breathing until the well below me came so near being filled up by sand, occasionally caving iu caused by the diggers above. I had breathed the air over so much that it had become impure, causing me to feel a smothering sensation, but about this time the res cuers got near enough to me to let in air from above. By having a good supply of chewing tobacco, I did not suffer so much for food as might Im expected. "From the beginning I could hear a good deal that was said and done above. I heard the wagon when it started to town for lumber, and heard some one say, 'Tho man is dead,' and the order given to try to pull my box out. When they began pulling on the ropes I knew that unless tho ropes broke there was great danger of tho boards above giving way and crushing me. For my own safety and to give evidence of being alive I cut the ropes and heard the ex citement that prevailed when it was discovered by the cut ropes that I was alive. It was music to me, and from that time on I was hopeful of being rescued. "Alioiit tho sixth day I felt something crawling on my hand and found it to be a bluebottle lly. I thought from this an opening had been made from above. I was correct, for soon Henry Archer had tho opening largo enough te pass a wet rag to me. In reaching me it was all covered with sand, but no honey ever tasted better to me than that wet rag. Soon a bottle of water and a piece of bread was given me, and I was truly thankful. From this time on I began to gain strength, and by helping my res cuers the time passed quicker than one would suppose. When my feet, which are badly swollen, are better and I dare to eat a square meal I will be all right. I am very thankful to my friends for their persistent efforts to rescue me and feel grateful for the sympathy that I hear has been given me." Washington better. From our regular correspondent. Washington, July 28, 1888. Senator Sherman called up, and tho senate passed, on Saturday, the bill to reimburse the depositors of tho Freed men's bank for losses incurred by the failure of that concern. It would be but an act of justico for tho house to pass this bill. Senators Chandler and Teller made speeches against the fisheries treaty last week. The Mills tariff bill was passed by the honse on Saturday, by a vote of 162 to 149. Only four democrats, Messrs. Sowden, Merriinan, Greenman and Bliss voted against the bill. One republican, Nelson, and one man elected as a repub lican, but who has since gone over bag and baggage to the democrats, voted for the bill. It now goes to the senate to meet its death at the hands of the friends of American labor and industry. All hopes of an adjournment before September have been abandoned by members of congress, and not a few of them say they are likely to be here in October. There's a pretty little row in the dem ocratic national committee, to begin the campaign with. Mr. Brice, vvlio pur chased the chairmanship of tho execu tive committee by making a campaign contribution of 8500,000, nnd Mr. Bar num, who was made chairman of the national committee for the purpose of trying to prevent tho f roe trade platform ; adopted at St. Louis, stampeding the protective democrats, are both hopping mad; they say that Cleveland and Dan Lamont have taken everything in their own hands, and that they (the chairmen) are only figure heads. Let them quar rel, it only makes the election of Harri son and Morton more certain. The river and harbor bill, with tho canal amendments dropped, has been passed by the house, and is now in tho hands of the president. It will probably be signed, unless Cleveland shall go back on the promise ho made early iu tho session, to gain votes for the Mills tariff bill. In view of two occurrences here last week, it is not to le wondered at that we are likely to have a solid north against a solid sonth this year. First, two invita tions were sent by the chairman of the committee in charge of a literary gath ering at Atlanta, Ga., to Senator Col quitt, one was addressed to Speaker Carlisle, and the other to Representative McKinley. Senator Colquitt delivered the first, and returned the other to At lanta, together with a letter saying that he would not deliver an invitation to a republican, and that republicans had no business in Georgia, and should not go there if he could keep them away. And yet we call this a free country. Second, on Friday in the house, while the bill appropriating S25,000 to aid state sol diers' homes was under discussion, Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, speaking against the bill, said that it was tho duty of the government to care for its own paupers. Mr. Spinola, of New York, replied as follows: "The brave men who took the field to save the Union, the men who marched, bivouacked and fought for tho flag of the country, have been branded as paupers by tho gentleman from Texas. I hurl the assertion back into tho throat from which it emanated. No man shall stand in his place on this floor, and brand the northern soldier as a pauper without my resenting it." The bill was passed by the house, and having al ready passed tho senate, now only needs Cleveland's signature to become a law.
