The doctor oxnmIncd nil of the voucher * and then tolil the court that ns fnr as his knowl edge went nil of them wcro correct. Ho nail checked them with the coal hills and hail not found any discrepancies ; after that no approved them nnd they went to the lloani of Public J nn-ls and Hulldlngs , "Who transmitted these deficiency bills to the legislature ? " nskcil Mr. Webster. "I tie not know , but I know that they got ' " ' Do yon know If they wore Investigated ! " "Only by hearsay. " . , "When you approved the vouchers had you compared them with the books ? " "Y s , sir , I had , and they wcro correct so far ns 1 could learn. " . "When you loft the asylum were those vouchers showing the hniount of coal re ceived ? " , . "Thcro wcro duplicate vouchers showing the number of cars , but I don't know the present whereabouts of the books and pa pers. " "Did you examine Sowell & Co.s flour vouchers before you approved them ? " "Yes , sir , I did , but If they showed no special corrections , I did not examine them soclosnlv ; ! novcr approved tiny voucher without I believed It to bo correct. If 1 did not do so myself I always caused them to bo oxnmlncd before approval. " "Did you over know , during 1SU1 , that coal was being slolunt" "Yes , sir ; from the switch , nnd men wcro placed there to stop It. Men wcro driving up to the cars , loading the coal into tbolr wnjrons nnd then going away. Tills was dur ing the winters of IS'JO and IS'.U. " "What alterations were made In the boil ers to reduce the consumption of coal ? " "Nothing that 1 know of. " "What do you know about the resetting of the bollersl" "Nothing. " "When you loft the asylum who would have been the custodian of the supplies ? " "Tho steward or bookkeeper. " "Did you make n report to the commis sioner of public lands and buildings ? " "Yes , sir ; in December IbUO , 1 made the seventh biennial report. " This report shows that the doctor had confidence In the competency and honesty of the subordinates at the asylum. Mr. Lambortson objected to the record on the ground of Incompotoncy. Judge Pound suggested that the re port was made before the respondents went into ofllce. ' The report was admitted. . Thcro was nothing moro that Mr. Webster desired to draw out on the direct and so an nouncing ho turned over the witness to bo cross-examined. How Hln Ilrpnrt Wm Mmlo. "Doctor , in making this report you do not show the deficiency ! " asked Mr. Lambert- son. son."No , " replied the doctor , "that would have gone Into the next report. " "Then there should have been W.030 added ns the amount paid for coal ? " "Yes , sir ; I think so. " "In commending the skill and Integrity of the board , you referred to the members of the Boanl of Public Lands and Kullilings and to the gentlemen who preceded these respondents ! " "Yos , sir ; for tticso men wcro not then in oflleo. " "The saino Is true with reference to Lauer and Pass ? " "Yes , sir.

" "Did you go out and check the car num bers ? " "No , sir ; usually the vouchers for coal had on them the number of the car in which the coal came. " The witness was shown a larno number of vouchers which did not carry car num bers. "Why did you not require the car num bers to bo placed upon the vouchers ? " "I can't recall any special reason. " "Why did you require car numbers on Dotts & Weaver's vouchers , and novcr re- nulro any car numbers on the vouchers of the Whitobreast Uoal company ( " "I can't say. " - "What is your memory about being suspic ious of the vouchers ? " "I think I was. " "What did you dot" "Instructed the dealers that mlno welchts would no longer bo accepted. " . "That's not what I'm talking about ; I want to talk about car numbers and not mine weights. " "Well , I don't know why. " "Ix > ok at this bill , " said Mr. Lauibertson , "is there any date on it ?

" ' 'Yc ' § , sir ; they wore , " "Did .you call tlio attention to the board of your suspicions ? " "No , sir. " "Then you approved the vouchers when you were suspicious ? " "I trusted to the steward , leaving n good donl to his judgment. " "Did you not take some of the deficiency vouchers and turn them over to the legisla ture ? " "Not to my knowledge. " "Did you confer with the railroad people about these cars without numbers ; " "I telephoned them.

" Hull IliniiVlllini ; to KTplnlii , "I never was asked to go ; I was anxious to appear and nxplnin , hut was not called. " "Did you arcopt mlno weights on coal ?

" "What is the heating surface us compared "About the amo , " Dr. Hay. who , from 1870 until ISM , was Ito assistant superintendent ut ttio asylum , was sworn and testified. Mr. Webster showed witness n flour voucher nnd nskcd : "Did you approve that voucher ? " ' Yes. sir. " "Did you bcllovo that It was corrcctl" "I dlii. " Witness was handed n coal voucher which ho had approved and tra.wmltted to the board , "Did you bellovo It was correct ? " "I thought It wns. " ' 'Doctor , do you remember these vouchers ? " nskcd Mr. I ambortson , on cross- examination , "Only ns I see my name on them. " ' 'It was not your business to sign them ? " "Only whrti Dr. ICnnpp was nhscnt. " At this point Mr. Webster offered the Dond nnd official oath of Dr. Knupp in evidence. Thcro was no objection. After this there was the bond nnd oath of ofllco of .1. Dau Latter. Mr. Webster offered the bond of .1. W. Bowman. Mr. Lambertsou objected for the reason that Ilowman had nothing to do with the case , but before the court ruled the objection was withdrawn. ( lOTcrnor Tliayor In I'vldcnce. Jo.icph It Wobstcrfor the respondents said that ho had Homo documentary evidence , which ho wanted to Introduce. Gaining Ills feet Mr. Wi'bster road from the message of ex-Governor Tlutycr , in which document he commended the management of the hospital and showing the low death rate out nt the institution. Mr. K-imbertson stated thatas far as the Issues were concerned , It did not make much difference what tlio ex-governor thought. Justice Maxwell replied that the passage referred to could ho marked and it would bo looked into. John I * . Webster hoped that the court would understand that the respondents did not suspicion the subordinates us being .dls- honcsti especially those who wcro endorsed by high oniclals. I'rldmirn of tlio I'liglnonr. Engineer Mohtcr of the hospital testified that ho went to the Institution sometime lu ISS'J. ISS'J."When wns the now boiler put into the green liouso ? " nnkcd Judge Hay ward for the respondents. "How largo was this now boiler ? " "It was 10 feet by fi2 inches , while the old boiler was 11 feet by ! " > inches. " "Did this add to the consumption of coal ! " "I should say about " 0 per cent. " "What change was made later onl" "Tho bailers wcro reset. " "How much greater was the consumption of coal after the boilers wcro reset ! " "I saved coal. I should say ! > per cent. " "That's nil , " said Judge Hayward. With a smile Mr. Liunbcrtaon entered upon the cross-examination by asking , "What was the consumption of coal during the summer months ? " "About four and a half tons per day , or whatever I told Mr. Kewicl : . " "What amount did you consume per day in all of the boilers after some of them wcro reset , nnd how much was consumed in 1801 as compared with 18UJ ! " Mr. Webster thought that was not cross- examination. Justice Maxwell waz of a different opinion. Replying the witness said ho made a test nnd that lie found that in IS'.tl ' the amount consumed was about 30 percent creator than in K'J'2. "How much would that bo in tons1 ? Mr. Wi'bster objected on the grounds that witness had not made any computations. "At whoso request did you make the test ? " "At the request of.Dr. Bowman and to him I made my report. " "How much did you over burn In cold weather ? " asked Judge Hayward on redi rect. " 1 know of ono time that with four boilers running wo burned a carload in twenty-four hours. " WolHtor HUH n I'Ism. Governor Crounso when called to the stand was asked If ho could produce the record of the Board of Publlo Lands and Buildings with reference to the investigation of the asylum. "No , sir ; I have made a search , out amun- able to find it. " Mr. Webster said that in calling Governor Crounso ho was laying llio foundation for something that would come later on In the trial. What ho proposed was when the time comes to show by evidence that when the respondents received notice of fraud they at once commenced an Investigation. l-Ol.I'O.iMl ; IX VTAll. How the Law Is liclng Ulircjrnrdoil AT.ocnl 1'upor'n Story. SALT LAKE , U. T. , May 13. The Tribune 1 printed an article this morning directly Intimating - timating that the reason that there have been so few prosecutions for polygamy and unlaw ful cohabitation for many months past , is , because the olllcials ifrnoro offenses of this kind and refuse to prosecute them. It gives a long list of polygiimists who have their plural wives , as alleged , Just over the line in Idaho and Wyoming , begin ning with the case of Bishop Oscar Dunn of West Millvlllo. Caeho county , U. T. Ho was , it is stated , arrested by n deputy mar shal on the charge of livlug in polygamy with Jane A. Walsh , and she was about to become - come a mother. The deputy then reported to the headquarters of his district in Ofidc-n. On his return homo the deputy madu the fol lowing report to the commissioner : "I am instructed by Cassin not tosubpo > iin the wit nesses in that case. Tlio chief deputy saya wo have been trying to lay a golden egg in this territory and now you are trying to break it up. " The article proceeds : "What is meant by the Koldeu egg ? No ono appears to know. No explanations cun bo drawn out , but in view of what the officials are doing , It probably means that It is intended to win over thii Mormons to the republican party for the purpose of making tills u republican state , through winking and ignoring all cases of violations of the hiws touching boastial practices of Murtnonkm. " In the case of Dunn no witnesses wcro subpoenaed , anil when the bishop appeared for trial ho was so delimit and undue-ions us to tell tlio commissioner , that "the deputy told mo that ho would not subptuncn the witnesses and that I need not briiiR mv plural wlfo to the trial , " and so the case had to bo dismissed. The nrticlo then adds : "Now , that wo are to have a change of otllcials from the repub licans back to democrats and a party which has been boasting for the past four to seven years that 'wo prosecuted and convicted moro Mormons than over did the repub licans , is coming into power , the lovers of good Kovernn'ont will 'anxiously watch the results. It has been pretty loudly whispered that the bourbons are just ns anxious for the Mormon votes as the republicans , and that the policy of the present administration will warm up the situation with many sweet promises and will go further than have the republican ofllcials toward winning ovur the saints to their party. Wo shall soon see what is to come. " Tlio article then goes Into details nnd mentions tlio names of a number of Mormons in Utah , Idaho and Wyoming who have from tivo to tlvo wives. > : nrmitu to Sovr York , HAVANA , May 15. 1'ho Infanta Rulnllo and her husband Prince Antoinc , embarked at 4 o'clock this afternoon lu the steamer Maria Christina , for New York.

THIRTY TO ONE SHOT WINS Diablo Pulls Off the Rich Brooklyn Handi cap at Tramendoua Odds. ' LAMPLIGHTER ONLY GETS THE PLACE . lln Carried n Ton of Money , Imt Couldn't Have HI * llnrkera Thirty Tlimnnml plo I'lirnly/.ecl n I'Jnter'x IVrCiirmitiioe. Nr.w Yonic , May 15. Amidst n deep nnd oppressive sltcnco Diablo , the aged son of Kolus nnd Grace Darling , won the rlcit Brooklyn handicap nt Gravosond this after noon in the presence of .TO.OOO persons. Lamplighter , the favorite , who went to the | K > st carrying n ton of money , was second end nnd Lconawcll third. The winners time was 'J:0fl : , made fractionally as follows : Quarter , ! i5 < 4 ; half , 61 ; three-quarters , l:10j : mile , IMS' ' . , " , uillo and n quarter , 2:09. : The reason for the chilly silence with which Diablo' * victor was received Is rather ilinicult of explanation. Kvcn though the winner was an extreme outsider , which fact , of course had Its offcct , the raeo-Rolng public are too generous to allow that to weigh in the balance and generally give applause whcro applause is duo. Tlio probabilities are that the people felt Instinctively that they had in a measure been the victims of what is termed a grand coup. Diablo wns regarded ns being In the Hint ilutht of lies two and three-year-old form , but nftor his third year his legs became - came shaky. Since then ho has been re garded simply as n high-class selling plater that was likely to break down permanently In any rnco in which ho started. The homo had raced three times nt the recent Elizabeth meeting , winning once out of throe starts. Kacoland and Charade , two horses that ran in the handicap today , were tlio winners of these races and beathim silly. His wonderful Improvement In form today waf therefore , all the moro stunning In Us effect. The Brooklyn handicap rim today was the seventh in the history of the event and was guaranteed worth S'jn.OOO. Of this sum the winner gets $18,000 , the second norse $5,000 and the third horse W.OOO. " It Win u llorxomnii'H Day. The day dawned bright nnd fair , much to the delight of the many thousands of per sons that had determined to see the rich stakes contested for. As the day advanced and the bright weather prospects of the morning wore fully realized , pcoplo set their faces to'vard the race course nnd soon the different dnvownys and railroads load ing there assumed nu animated appearance. By 1'J o'clock n few hundred people ple had reached the course and these eagerly sci/.eil upon the best points of Viiutage. which places they retained at least until the event of the day was decided. At noon several thousand lovers of the sport of IciiiKS had entered the enclosure and from that time until the bell rang thu first race the crowd was gradually and steadily aug mented. When the lirst race was called it was difllcult to move about with any degree of comfort on the lawn or in the bolting ring , while the club house and grind stand were filled to overflowing. At handicap time at. least 150,000 persons were present. The scenes in and auout the track wcro both picturesque nnd exciting. The stand itself presented a charming scene , the bright nml varied colored toilets of the ladies show ing in vivid contrast to the somber and sub- ducJ-lookiug clothing of their escorts. Tlio betting ring presented a wild nnd boisterous scene. The jam was something awful. A mun would go in smiling and looking spick and spau , but no would come out still smiling and happy , perhaps , but with hislincii wilted ank his clothing torn and bedraggled. Crazy to Hot. Men rushed madly about looking for the odds they wanted and shaking greenbacks in tlio faces ot the bookmakers when they found them. Rushing , pushing , jostling , shoving and hauling , there was plenty , but j it was taken good naturcdly , for the crowd ] | expected it. The lirst thrco races on the card wcro a mere relish to the spectators , only serving to whet tholr appetites for the bier ovcnt of the day. When therefore , the bugle called the horses to the post for the big event , excitement was on tiptoe. It was just ono minute past 4 o'clock when the horses' were summoned from the haddock. Fldello of William Daly's string , was the llrst to appear and was quickly followed by his ctablo companion , Tcrrifier. Then came Banquet , Nomad uud Haceland , Michael Dwyer's candidates. "Old Bonca , " as Uaccland Is affectionately called , was loudly cheered , as was Jockey Garrison , who had the mount on Banquet. Charade wns next to come on the traalc , and following wore .iudgo Morrow , the winner of last year's Brooklyn handicnp.and Ultimotho only representative of the west in the race. ,1. A. nnd H. Morris' representative , Mars , was saddled on tlio other aide of the truck and did not pass tiio stand. Lamplighter , Diablo , Pickpocket and Lconawoll wcro the hist to appear and went to the post together. Lamplighter was enthusiastically ap plauded , the ovation showing whcro the hopes and dollars of the public wero. The usual parade was dispersed with , the horses goin ? to the starting point as they do in an ordinary event. Here Are tlio Starters.

After several futile attempts to got them hi line for u start , Starter Howe finally , at 4:1' : ' ) , gave the horses the flag to an almost perfect start. Judco Morrow. Loonawell , Terrlfliir and Fidelio were n little in the lead , with Lamplighter. Charade , Pick pocket , lllumo and Mars lu a bunch in the rear. Terrilior , true to the Daly tac tics , immediately shot to the front and sot a clinking pace past the stand and into the back stretch. Hero Lconuwoll , who had been struggling for Ills head , passed Terrillcr and took a load of two lengths. The race nil through the back stretch wns an exceedingly pretty ouo. All of the horses wcro running well together nnd within striking distance of the leader. At the fnr turn Txsonawell slightly increased Ills lead and a shout went up from his ad mirers. Their Joy was short-lived , however - over , for turning Into the homestretch stretch , Diablo , Lamplighter. Judge Morrow , nnd lllumo moved up and Joined the louder. A desperate nnd highly exciting drive en sued , tlio horses running almost head and head all through the stretch. Less than u quarter of a furlong from the wire Diablo began to draw out and , soon getting clear of the others , won a grand race by u length and a half. Lamplighter beat the tired but pamo Leonwell a nnck for the place , ll lumo , who was third , a nose away , was lapped to the withers by Pickpocket and Chnrudo , who had come from the rear In the last fifty yards. It IMralyzud tlio Crowd. Taral , who rode the winner , was placed on the scat of a floral horseshoe and carried in triumph from the judge's stand to the pad. dock , A flowl horseshoe was also placed about the nock of the winning horse us ho was led from the track. Scarcely a ripple of applause greeted these ceremonies. As good as CO to 1 against could bo ob tained about Dlablo's chances in thu early betting , so little wcro his prospects of win ning the race considered. Straight mutuaU on him , of which only twelve were sold , paid $294.50.

The oxcrclst-s wore held lu the -cccptlon room , which wns adorned with lumcrotts clusters of beautiful red roses , vhlt'h Imrmonlrcd offcctlvoly with the sub- liuxl similes of the other furnishings. The audience was remarkable moro for character than numbers. Thcro wore scarcely n hundred persons In the room , but I imong them wcro several who had bcon ! dotlllcd with the history of the Institution j sltico its first inception , who had helped to ! illot It through the snoals nnd shallows of ess prosperous days , who had lent their aid vhcti U seemed that It must succumb to the ircssuro of adverse circumstances nnd who ou this occasion met to oxchntiRO reminiscen ces of those other days ntulcoiiBi-ntulntoeneli other thnt their hopes nnd efforts had not aon lu vnln. Bishop WorthIngton presided , nnd n'ftor a * ow wonls of explanation , announced a solo y Miss Amy Barker ns the llrst number on tlio program. Miss Bnrkcr snug "To Seville" excellent Judgment , her clear soprano r displayed to good advantage in the .v.'ll known melody , . Historical Ueniiiilscencos" of the school wcro read by Mrs. Philip Pottur and revived unny memories until then hnlf forgotten by , hose who listened. Thcro were rccollcc- .lons , which provoked sallies of Inughtcr mil others which brought tears to the eyes of some of those who hnd been connected with the school in the days which wcro brought to mind. Mrs. Potter compared thu ircscnt occasion to n similar ono held iwcnty-flvo yonra ngo when the institution ivtts Just reaching out toward the future and i success which baa since become a ccr- ininty. Only u few of those who had been present on the former occasion had lived to sec the school In Its present condition of use fulness and prosperity. ( ir.uimtcil ! tlio First Cluss In Thu speaker called attention to the fact that Browut-11 hull was the first .school in Nebraska to graduate n class nnd expressed the hope that the day was not far distant when a diploma from the institution would Iw mink-lent to admit a pupil to any college in the United States. In the muantimo there wns scarcely ouo of the older families of Omaha whoso children had not , in p.ii-t , nt least , profited by the cducntinonl facili ties offered by thn school. Mrs. Potter reviewed innn informal manner ' the history of the school during the quarter of n century of its incorporated existence and paid touching tribute to the memory ot I ninny faithful te.iehers who had made the , ' advancement oMts Interests their life work , ! and had boon called away before they wcro : able to sec the ripened fruit of tholr oxor1 ] lions and sacrifices. She recalled thfl llrst time thnt n class was cnnilmicd in the hall I nnd depicted in tones that trembled with I emotion the scene when the bishop formally i consecrated the cln-ss of young women to tlio I protection of the church. Ono of the earliest memories recalled was I I the night that the news wns received that ! i Ulcliinond had fallen. The school was then ' in its infancy , but the old hull wns ablaze with lights , discipline wus relaxed nnd nil Joined in the Jubilation over the triumph of the flag. There were two pupils ulonu wno did not join in the general rejoicing. They wcro from the sunny south and the news which filled the hearts of their companions with triumph wus call and worm wood to thnm. They dressed them selves in their most mournful attire and all the evening long walked arm in arm up and down tlio walks outside , refusing to enter the building uutll-tho lights wcro out and the merrymaking wns over. Original Iiicorpnrutor Talks. In closing , Mrs. Potter announced that some of the alumna : , wishing to express their remembrance of Browncll hall , had formed a scholarship which would bo for mally tendered today and which , it was hoped , would be the means of affording the daughters of needy clergymen an opportu nity to enjoy the advantages of an education. Thcro are four of the original incorporators of the school who are now ainonjj the trustees. They are Hon. .1. M. Woolworth , Judge John I. Hedick , Judge George W. Donuo nnd Colonel Clement W. Chase. Judge Itcdick nnd Mr. Woolworth were present last night and Bishop Worthingtoii called on the former for additional contributions to the former history of the school. Judge Hedick suid that lip wns proud that ho hnd been connected with the origin of such nn institution us Urownell hall had bo- come. When ho and Judge Woolworth and several others determined to inrorx | > rate the school It was regarded ns a visionary idea. The school was first hc'4ln a small building which had originally been used as u hotel , and ono not of the best reputation at that. It was situated nearly three miles from the city ami thu young ladles had to bo hauled back and forth in nn omnibus. Ho referred lo some additional facts which the occasion brought to mind nnd related sev eral humorous incidents which wcro evi dently much , enjoyed by his audience. Dr. Goodnlo. who was at an early date connected with the school , was called upon and spoke briefly. Ho bad como to thu hall in ISOli , when there was only ono brick block in Omaha , nnd when the present thriving city wns but a dream of thu hopeful. At that time there wcro about forty boarders ut the hall nnd n few day scholars , nnd the speaker remarked with much earnestness that there was moro money made out of the day scholars than from the boarders. - Another of liriMvnoll'M r thorn. Judge Woolworth said thnt the occasion brought to him mlnglod emotions of satis faction nnd of melancholy. There was much of which to bo proud In the prospcrty and work of the school , but ho thought of those who had worked and suffered for its welfare and hnd long since passed away added a tinge of gloom to Ills rojoioiiig. Ho dwnlt at sumo length ou the characters and sacrifices of some of the first teachers in the hall , nnd alluded in glowing terms to their loyalty nnd faithful service. A letter of regret from Mr. George Bolts of Louisville , Ky. , nud Hov Canon Doherty mndon few remarks relating more especially to tlio growth of the school during the past so rented ! years , whieh represents his term of service in connection with the institution. Miss Kstollc Thorpe of Dnvid City , Nob. , sang ' 'Parla , " by Arditi , rendering the very trying selection in a most pleasing manner. After the program was concluded the ro- muindcr of the evening was passed In renew ing old friendships and associations. lo- ( frt-sliments wuro served nnd it was not until u late hour that the gathering was broken up , The business meeting of the alummo will bo held this morning nnd the remaining exercises pertaining to the colouration of the twenty-fifty anniversary of tlio lOpiscopal dioccso are as follows : Tuesday May 10 11 a. in. , celebration of holy communion at the cathcarul ( corirarato communion of uli'iiimu , Canon Doherty , celebrant ) ; a p , m. , annual meeting of Women's auxiliary ; JJ to 11 p. in. , reci'tlon by the bishop and Mrs , Worthinoton at Browncll hall ( kindly placed at their ills- l > osul by the rector ) to the visiting bishops. the delegate * from the riatto , the members tltl the illoi'esaii council nnd churchmen ot the city and state generally. tln Wednesday.

A batch of bills for current expenses was presented and allowed. Morris Morrison called attention to the fact that there was an Item in the list for electric light. In view of the fact that the board was sitting in partial darkness ho thought the bill for electric light ought to bo cut out. The board decided , however , to pay for thoAm-il lighting , which tnis spoola'l bill called for , nnd trust to the honesty anil fair ness of the ek'Ctnc liiiht < oiiij > uuy for an equitable adjustment of the bill for May.
