LINCOLN . Nob. , , Ian.2i. [ SpecialTelegram
to Tun Ur.n. ] The resolution looking to the
impeachment oT Governor Crounso for ap
proving tlio special bond of tbo Capital
National bank was tbo sensational event of
today's legislative session , although it was
on tlio toards in the liouso but a ininuto be
fore going over for'a day under tbo rules.
Tbo stir created by it was inoro on account
c f Its naturo'tban because of any apprehcn-
loti as to tbo result. Tbo republicans arc
not at all worried by it , wliiio even tbo in
dependents don't expect anything to coino of
it , and some of them have expressed them
selves as sorry that tbo resolution was
introduced.
Ho far as tlio Impeachment part of it Is
roneerned , Governor Crounso treats it
lightly , but bo feels keenly tbo situation in
which the Htato funds have been placed. lie
said this evening that bo eould not have felt
worsts if tlio money had been bis private
fund ! ) .
Does jfot I.lkn thr liiw.
It may lie stated in tills connection , and in
justice to tbo governor , that ho was not at
all satisfied with the law with regard to the
furnishing of bonds in eases of this kind and
would not consent to tbo acceptance of the
Capital National bond until the sureties bad
qualified , which was something the law docs
not require. Not only that , but ho recom
mended tbo drafting of additional
requirements to govern such mat
ters , and insisted that inasmuch
as tbo law was so lax the banking board
must take such action an would protect tlio
Interests of the state. Ho further urged
that no bank should bo allowed to have moro
than $100,000 of tlio state funds on deposit
at ono time and counseled immediate action
along that line. This was his position before
tbo failure and ho still adheres to it.
The plan of some of the leading bankers of
the state , limiting the amount of state do-
jHjslts in a bank to ! H ) per cent of its capital
Htock , meets witli his approval , and he will
send a special message to the legislature
urging the amendment of tbo law in this
particular. Tills plan will put all banks on
nn equal footing and at tnc same time make
provision against tbo laxity of tlio law.
Who Will lin Krrtlvcr.
There is an interesting little contest going
on over the appointment of a receiver to take
charge of the affairs and business of the de
funct Capital National bank. It has brought
on a light between the two syndicates of
local bankers , both of which have tbo same
object in view , as it is thought that it will
bo to their respective interests to nave a
friend named for tno place , as bo would
have nit opportunity to divert a consid
erable portion of tbo business of
tbo bankrupt concern to such banks
us ho might name. The candidates who
have developed are C. II. Hoggs , Kent Ilny-
dcn and 12. K. Drown. The first two named
represent tbo syndicate headed by the First
National bank , while Drown is tlio preferred
candldato of the American Exchange Na
tional crowd. Tbo reciprocity feature of the
control is shown by the fact that Hoggs'can
didacy is being managed by ex-Judge Allen
W. Held , whoso congressional light during
the late campaign was managed by Air.
Hoggs.
Moro I'owor Tor I'ncliloclt.
Tbo matter was forced into politics this
evening and it is stated that the appoint
ment will bo dictated by Senator Paddock ,
who promised to wire tbo comptroller bis
wishes regarding it. Neither Hoggs nor
Brown are acceptable to tbo creditors. They
hold n mealing this evening and discussed
the situation and unanimously decided to de
mand that they bo consulted in tbo naming
of tbo receiver , but it is not at all likely
that they will bo allowed to liavo
nnythlng to say In the matter ,
us the political phase of it has tlio call. It
is stated that the senator is not at all iucr.se
to having it this way , as It gives him a leverage -
ago on tlio Lancaster count v delegation in
the Ipglslaturo. It is a well known fact
that this delegation as a body is not com
posed of Paddock men. and the faction that
will have the most Inllucneo witli the mem
bers and can eomo nearer turning them over
to Paddock will undoubtedly have tlio in
side track on the appointment of tbo re
ceiver
Nut On thn llouil.
It was stated Sunday evening that
Lminder CiIrani of Columbus was on tbo
bond of Treasurer Hartley , but ho states
that this is not the ease. He is an inde
pendent and for political reasons , if for no
other , would not sign tlio bond of a repub
lican official.
There is considerable discussion as
lo the constitutionality under which
the slate funds were on dc | > oslt In llio
broken bank. It is maintained bv several
lawyers that the law is unconstitutional and
will not stand the test of tlio courts. A
inovo Is already on foot to secure a ruling on
that i > oiiit ami ttio judiciary committee of
the liouso will be called upon by that body
In the morning to formulate a query to the
supreme court , asking for a decision as to
tlio constitutionality of the act providing for
the. depositing of state and county funds in
banks , approved April 8 , IMU.
dunning for Mustier.
A little sensation was created today , when
Milton M. White , an ox-employe In the oftleo
ol the auditor of state , who la ono of tbo
victims of the broken bank , started out on
the war path with a gun , on the trail of C.W.
Mosher , president of tlio bank. IIo was
finally taken in charge by some of his
friends , and the gun was taken away from
him. Ho was temporarily insane , but recov
ered after being restrained for a time.
Tbero arc countless rumors of coming ar
rests and suits in connection with tlio bank
failure. It Is understood that Cantaln H. O.
Phillips , \\ho is on his way homo from Colorado
rado , has already wired ahead dliucttng the
arrest of Mnslicr and some of the other
parties prominently connected with the
management of the bank.
Several of the stockholders and directors
arc In an exceedingly wrathy frame of mind
nml saying uny number of savage things
about what they proviso to do- .
Kx Attorney General U-ese stated this
evening that ho would take tint case of the
state against tlio broken bank and would
agree to recover the full amount on deposit
with 7 per cent lnteiv.it or charge no fee for
his servlcca. With the possibility of recourse
en the bond of "the treasurer- there is a grow-
ng feeling that the state will not bo n loser
by the failure.
AmcnilliiK the Drponilnry l.uxv.
Ono of the first amendtncnds that Is likely
to be proK | > sod to the new law relating testate
state depositories ii oiiomakin ? it a criminal
offense for a treasurer to doimslt In any one
bank moro than 8 ( ) per cent of Its capital
stock. It in argued that no bank doing a
conservative and legitimate business eould
afford to handle a larger percentage of the
state dcK | > sits. This fact , it is urged ,
is happily illustrated by tbo failure
of tlio Capital National bank. Al
though tlio bank has boon prac
tically insolvent for the past three months ,
Treasurer Hill placed In its keeping nearly
100,000. or an amount equal to Itscntlre paid
up capital stock. How no could have been
Induced to entrust so largo a block of state
funds with such an Institution is only to bo
accounted for on the assumption that tic
was receiving a higher rate of interest from
tlio bank In question than other banks
would pay. The bank olllcials who liavo
been hanging on tlio edge of bankruptcy for
some tlmo were enabled by the faulty con-
Htructton of the new law which
went into effect witli tlio incoming adminis
tration to place themselves in a position
where they could demand and receive as high
a sum as .SV/iO.lKX ) from the state treasury.
No legitimate banking business can , it is as
serted by such well known .bankers as Presi
dent Hamilton of the United States National
and President Murphy of the Merchants Na
tional of Omaha. President Ueitrieli of the
German National of Hastings- and other
prominent financiers , afford to handle a
greater percentage , and they urge that an
amendment similar to tlio one suggested will
Insure a moro equitable distribution of the
state funds and reduce the liability of loss to
the state to a minimum.
I'lMvrrHiinil I'lKlilork Vet.
The senatorial situation is unchanged.
The outward development of the feeling be
tween Thurston and Paddock has simply
put another nail in the hitter's political
coffin and made it apparent to all that his
election is out of tin1 question. This Is con
ceded tonight by some who liavo up to this
time maintained that the senator stood a
fair show of succeeding himself. It may
hasten icsults a little , but the indica
tions still are that Paddock will make bis
big spurt and uncover all tbo strength ho
may liavo about Thursday.
Tbo independents still stick toPowers.and
it was stated this evening by oncof the most
prominent of their number that there was
no other man in their party on whom their
full strength could bo concentrated. There
is talk of attempting to agree on Edgerton
for their caucus nominee for awhile in order
to allow him to try to solve the difficulty ,
but the proposition does not meet with suffi
cient favor to warrant tlio holding of a cau
cus on the matter tonight.
Powers said bo was satisfied that tbo in
dependents would stay by him for at least
ono mere day. The night caucus is re
garded with disfavor by some of llio popu
lists , as it gives the papers an opportunity
to tip off their plans in advance , and possibly
allow the opposition to suspect them , and
for this reason some of them are urging that
all action for the day bo formulated at a
caucus in the morning. The plan of ballot
ing in each house today was upset this morn
ing. after several oi the objectors bad been
convinced that a failure to so b.iilot would
not invalidate the election of a senator.
Indulged Some IVrgomil Views *
A very interesting interview took place be
tween Senator Paddock and John M.
Tliurston , when the senator sought to ex
press to tbo latter bis thanks for Thurston's
withdrawal from the senatorial race.
"You are under no obligations to me , sir. "
curtly replied Mr. Tlurston , "and you un
doubtedly knowit as well as I do. "
"I want to toll you that 1 appreciate It , "
continued /Mr. Paddock , overlooking the
coldness and apparently determined to molify
liis late rival , "and 1 want to say further ,
that if I can do you any favor , or render you
any assistance in any way , cither now or at
any future time , I shall bo more than glad to
do it. "
"There will never bo a time , either in this
world or tlio next , " was the stinging retort ,
"when I shall desire any favor or assistance
at your hands. "
"Let mo tell you , young man1 asserted
the senator , "that when there was a vacancy
in the general soliciiorship of the Union Pa
cific 1 interested myself in your behalf , and
went to Mr. Gould and urged upon him your
appointment to the place. "
"And let mo tell you , sir , " replied Thurs
ton , with icy deliberation , "that any state
ment to tlio effect that my appointment was
in any way duo to Mr. Gould is a falsehood.
At the time of my appointment Mr. Gould
did not know there was such an Individual
as myself in existence , and when ho did
bear of mo I was tlio general solicitor of tbo
Union Pacific. "
The situation was rather embarrassing
but did not continue so long , for tbo senator
retired with as little ceremony as comported
with tbo dignity of bis official jiosHion. The
story leaked out through some of the inii-
mate friends of the interested parties and
there has been a visible widening in tlio
breach that separates tbo Thurston and
Paddock men.
Charged to tinI.lttlo I'npplo.
Ancnt this state of affairs , it may bo said
that some of the inside history of the with
drawal of Thurston is beginning to see tbo
light of day in the Capital City. It is stated
that not only was Thurston forced off the
track , but that tbo squeezing process was
put in operation through Major Joseph W.
Paddock , who is ono of tbo government
directors of tbo Union Pacific and a cousin
of the senatorial candidate for re-election.
Several prominent Omaha , democrats also
figured in the deal and assisted in bringing
pressure to bear on tlio Union Pacific direc
tory to get Paddock's most formidable rival
out of tlio way.

VIENNA , Jan. 21. An explosion of fire
damp occurred today in theJFortischrlttmlne
at Dux , in Bohemia. It is known that eighty
miners were killed and many injured. One
hundred men are still entombed In tbo mine ,
livery effort Is being made to rescue them.
The accident In the Fortlschrltt mine was
more serious than reports this afternoon in
dicated. Dispatches from Dux tonight say
that eighty m inert were killed and scores
were injured.
The explosion occurred this morning when
tbo shifts were changing. A cage full of
miners had been lowered half way down the
shaft when the ground trembled , a loud
rumbling reiwrt was heard and llio cable
attached to tbo cage gave suci a lurch that
the lowering machinery broke. Air and
dust , and tlio sound of crashing timbers and
tlio cries of the men in the cage gave warn
ing to those above of tbo extent of the cat
astrophe.
Help was summoned , and the sliaft was
repaired , after a delay of half an hour , and
the cage was raised. Ten of the occupants
had been killed Instantly by the shock , ten
had suffered fractures from which they can
not recover , five had broken limbs and in
ternal injuries , but will live. The men were
nearly suffocated from the gas rising In the
shaft.
( 'ruslmd ami Suffocated.
An hour later tlio superintendent of tlio
mine and live miners from the night shift
went down In tlio cago. They wore unable
to go moro than 100 yards from the shaft
into the gallery , but they found fourteen
dead bodies. Of tbo fifty men who were
waiting for the cage , ten had been killed
and forty bad been partially crushed by fall
ing limbers or half suffocated by Ihe foul
air. A short distance from the shaft tlio
superintendent found four todies which had
been crushed beyond recognition by a falling
beam.
Tlio bodies and the injured were taken to
the top , where the whole mining settlement
bad gathered to watch the work of rescue.
The men who had been brought up from
the bottom said that a few minutes after llio
explosions they bad beard cries and groans
from tbo mouth of Hie gallery about : MH )
yards from the shaft- There was heavy
timber work at this place and they believed
that the men in Ibis gallery had been im
prisoned by llio falling beams. They believed
that some forty men had been at work there.
Shortly before the cage came down they said
the cries ceased.
Another rescue party went down at once ,
and after three of thorn had been carried
back to tbo shaft unconscious , penetrated to
the entrance of tbo gallery. Tbo entrance
was completely blocked by tlio wrecked
woodwork. The rescue party could see sev-
caaldead bodies on tbo other side of the
timbers , but were unable to get at them , and
returned to the top empiy-bandod.
No llopu for the Im ; > rlioiicil Men.
It is believed that all the men In the gal
lery were suffocated or killed by the shock
ol the explosion. Twelve miners , who
worked In the extreme Interior of the mine ,
and who had not started for tlio shaft so
soon as their companions , are also believed
to bo dead.
Despite the apparent hopelessness of the
situation a rescue party is still in the mine
and thousands have gathered at the pit's
mouth. When tbo extent of the disaster
began to become evident the women of tlio
dead men's families attempted lo mob the
mine olllcials , accusing them of carelessness
in llio management of the mine and ol in
difference as to tlie falo of their husbands
and brothers below. The mine ofllcials sent
to Dux for police , and three companies of
soldiers arc camped in tbo fields around the
pit's mouth tonight. The miners' families
are still on watch and probably will remain
in the fields all night , despite the inclemency
of Iho weather.

argument was unfinished.
M. Barboux said that the payments made

in which his father had so long been. held.
His urre.st lud caused a feeling of stupltlca-
lion at Home and abroad. As to any fault
which might bo found with the plans

out tbo conflict between the opinions of
engineers on the subject , some advocating a
level canal and others a lock canal. What

llio face of iheso recommendations
of equally eminent engineers ! The

a clerk in the cominlsslouhouso of Scbroiner ,
Flack & Co. , this ovtnlng shot and probably
fatally wounded his swqetheart , Miss Alice
Bruce , at her home on McNair and Sid
ney streets In the southern part of tbo
city. A little later tbo iwlico looking
for the would-bo murderer found his
dead body in an alloy near tlio scene
of his first bloody deed. Henscliel was tbo
betrothed of Miss Bruce. Ho called early
this evening , and a few minutes after a cry
followed by a shot called tbo family to the
room , whore they foJnd the girl lying in her
own blood , flowing from a wound made by n
revolver ball , Just below tbo right ear. Tbo
bullet passed through the throat anil came
out at the back of the nock , to the left of the
spine. There is only a slight chance for : he
girl's recovery. An open door showed that
Henschcl had fled ,
The police immediately began a search for
him and found him as already stated , dead.
Ho bad placed the niuzzel of the revolver to
his forehead and blo\yn out ills brains.
Hensehel , so far as known , had no cause for
a quarrel with Miss Bruce. Friends , there
fore , knowing him to bo a slave to tlio cigar-
ctte habit , are of the opinion that ho com
mitted his bloody work while crazed by the
effects of that habit.

NEwYoitKJan.2l. There was qultoa little
flurry in tbo Stock'Oxchango yesterday over
tbo announcement that tbo pool which has
been manipulating the stock of tlio Distilling
and Cattlofecding company bad decided to
wind up its affairs and dissolve the pool. In
consequence of the announcement something
like 200,000 shares of stock were unloaded on
the market , knocking the price down live ,
points. It closed , however , within two
points of Hi opening figure. STiO.CO.
For a time all sorts of rumors were cur
rent. Chief among them was ono to the
effect that the organization intended to
issue now stock. Apropos of this , Mr.
Grecnbut. president of tbo Distilling ami
Cattlefeedliig company , said tonight : "Tlio
rumor that wo are going to issue now stoclc
is absolutely false. No such Issue has even
been contemplated. It is absurd. That
would necessitate calling a meeting , and no
such meeting has been called. The pool has
been dissolved though , that Is a fact , it was
decided upon at a meeting held Sunday.
As a result all-tbo stock left In the pool at
tbo tlmo has either been sold or is now in
the bands of members who are able to carry
it , and who would not think of selling it at
tlio present ridiculously low price. "
Concerning the causes that led to the
sudden change of policy among those In the
pool Mr. Grcenhut bad llttlo to say. "There
was dissatisfaction , " was the way bo put It ,
and refused to bo moro explicit
Concerning the effect of the dissolution of
tlio pool , ho said : "I think that the pool
has done moro injury than benefit to Iho
stock , and that it would , without any manipu
lation , have reached as high a figure as it
has at any time during tbo past few months ,
The stock is undoubtedly worth considera
bly moro than Its present market price , on
its merits , as the company was novcr in
hotter financial condition or had greater
earning power than at present. There Is no
question of its being able to pay its dividends
in tbo future' without interruption. Irre
spective of what the stock Jobbers may do In
their speculations , the company will bo able
to continue doing a profitable business and
pay a dividend to its stockholders. "
