CIIICAOO , 111. , Juno 0. An investigation
into railway management will bo com-
nonccd by the grand Jury on Monday next.
This promises to be the most far-reaching
nnd thorough Inquiry Into the affairs of the
jig railroad companies that has ever been
undertaken by the Inters tnlo Commerce
commission nnd it is said the present In
quiry Is to bo begun after a diligent survey
of the situation by the commissioners and
iVttornoy General Olney ,
Some ot these on whom subpmnn ? have
l > ccn served , are : G. 11. Dlnnchard , chair
man Central Trafllo association ; F. C.

J'raflle association ; IJ. W. Cnldwoll , chair

ison ; C. S. Crane , nssistnnt passenger ngcnt
of the Wabash railroad ; J. Charlton , gen
eral passenger agent of the Alton ; Major
W. 11. Smith , manager Laden wanna lino.
Nor is this all. The Ticket Brokers asso
ciation has nlso been served with notices to
bo In attendance. Complaints of both pas
senger and freight discriminations have
been made to the commission , it Is said ,
about the eastern , western and southwest
ern lines. New York was said to bo profit
ing nt the expense of Chicago and western
points , llntcs between these two points
favor eastward t rattle , and it is charged that
some of the passenger agents are selling
blocks of return tickets .good from Chicago
cast to brokers bore. Immigration business
will nlso bo a subject of inquiry and the
rates fixed by the various fnst freight lines.
The attorney general has sent A. G. Snfford

Augiint 1.
CIIIGAQO , 111. , Juno U. There will bo no
World's fnlr excursion trains from the west
before August 1. Whether there will bo any
after that tlmo depends on circumstances.
This applies only to the lines in the Western
Passenger association. The Atchison and
Alton may run excursion trains before that
time. The matter of cheap excursions to
the fair wns the only thing considered at
the association meeting today. It waa
agreed that no cheap excursion trains
should bo run before July U3 and that
If no agreement was reached at a meeting
of the association to bu called at that time
the roads would bo free to take individual
action in the matter , provided any road
wishing to run cheap excursion trains shall
give live nays notice to all competing lines.
No notice of such an excursion can bo given
before July 215 , and that moans August 1 be
fore the lirst excursion can run from the
west to the fair , unless it comes over the
Atchison or Alton. These two roads
have been awaiting the action of tin
association and are not prepared to say at
once just what they will do. The result ol
thu conference ever cheap excursions is not
exactly what is expected , though it is a de
cided movement for the bettor , considered
from a railway standpoint. It has disposed ol
the last obstacle in tlio way of tin
adoption of the revised agreement ol
the Western Passenger association ant
prevented a general demoralization o !
business throughout tno west. Il
wns a far more peaceful outcome of the long
and protracted meetings which the nssocin
tion hns held.of late .than was expected
Tlo agreement as it now stands will give
the roads ample opportunity to learn wbcthci
people of the west desire to travel on regulai
trains or on cheap excursion trains whicl
consist of coaches alone. The assoclatioi
agreement wns ndopted , to become effective

' 'All this claim about rain making
about on a par with the so-called psych
cal phenomena said to bo produced 1

much has recently Iwon written in bo :

of bcfontifio attainments yesterday. '
BOO by THE HICK thut the latest pr
tender in the artificial rain fake 1ml
from Tojwka , Kan , Prof. Nowcomb
tlio Naval observatory knocked that pi
tension in the head , nearly u year ag
with the simple remark that raolstu
cuiiuot bo produced by noiso'and , wit
out moisture you cannot have rain. In
vestigation into all the rainfalls alleged
to Imvo been caused by I'rof. Dyronfurth
lust summer in Texas showed that in
ovury instance the ruin was the result of
nattirnnl causes , nnd commonly extended
over vnstly larger areas than these covered -
orod by the rain-making experiments.
The notion rolled upon by those quasi *
sctctiUllo people nroso originally from
an allusion in I'luturch that a belief ex
isted among the Konnuis that ruin fell
after heavy battles , but the would-
be rain-makers seemed to overlook the
fact that gunpowder wns not used by the
Koinatif , and Plutarch explicitly states
thnt the superstition referred to was
based upon the idea that the gods sent
the rain to purify the corruption
produced by the corpses of the
slain lor the purpose of preventing
n pestilence. It was not supposed that
the clash of nrins had caused a humid
condition of the atmosphere. The au
thor of a recent work on war and tlio
weather , written with n view of bolster
ing the idea of making ruin by means
of explosives , could only show that of
U.'JOO battles of the American civil war
rain followed but 7 per cent of them.
Yet he imagined that ho had made out
his case , just as the Hindus in charge of
the great pagoda at Tanjoro inform the
traveler that the edlllco 'casts no
shadow , ' Insisting upon this pious decla
ration oven while ho sees the shadow
us plain us Indian sunshine can make it.
The intricate operations of nature
which result in the production of rain
you may bo sure are not to be duplicated
by bomburdlny the air. "
An Atchlson lawyer , says the Globe
of that city , wus recently plnccd In u
somewhat embarrassing position in
Omaha , tie und his wife were regis
tered at the Puxton. Ho went out in
the afternoon to attend to some business ,
when Lee S. Estello , the well known
lawyer , sent him u note asking him to
call ut his room. Ho signed himself
. -"Estollo. " The lawyer's wife got hold
of the note , and the lawyer mndo the
best speech of his life in demonstrating
that lOstcllo wns the name of a nmu.
"Tho commercial world has but very
little occasion for feeling alarmed ever
the alleged financial crihis thnt wo hearse
so much about , " said President Gibbon
of the Omaha Commercial club to a BKK
reporter. "As a matter of faot there is
a good , healthy tone to business , par
ticularly in wholesale nnd jobbing lines ,
and all that is needed to make this n
prosperous season is the confidence of
the people. The pan icy f col ing we hoar
about is the result of a , fearful imagina
tion rather than the effects of any realer
or threatening1 danger. In financial
matters , as in mutters of physical health ,
a good deal depends on the imagination
und the confidence of the people con
cerned. A man can worry himself intu
a sick spell if ho permits himself ui
brootl ever imaginary ills.
"Tho most damaging tlnng'to business
that can bo inspired is the circulation ol
groundless rumors with regard to the
standing of banks and other financial
institutions. This invariably frightens
the small depositors and they im
mediately draw out the surplus thnt
they have deposited in the bank. While
these deposits are not largo , indjvidu-
ally , they camount to n vast sum in the
aggregate , and when this is drawn from
tlio bunks it is not put into circulation bj
investment in any other line of business ,
but is curried to the private homes ol
the people and laid away to become a
temptation for thieves and a source ol
anxiety to the owners. This bus a very
detrimental olTect on business , for it h
just that much money actually wiped
out for the time boing. It is of no use
to anybody so long as it is hoarded up ii :
the ciosots and old ubrcau drawers all
over the country. You can imagine the
oll'pct of taking u lot of blood out of u man1 !
veins without giving him any nutritious
food to help replace the life lluld voi
have taken away. Well , thnt is jusl
about the clTect that this absurd scare
has upon the business of the countrv
when small depositors begin to honrt
their savings instead of letting then
remain in circulation.
"All this conntt y needs at present t <
make business first class is universa
confidence on the part of the people am
1 believe that this will bo established it
u very short time and the npparon
financial panic will disappear entirely
You will notice that the banks of tin
country uro in the main all right. The
institutions that liavo actually fuilei
have been these that were not ongngci
in the legitimate banking business. Tin
Omaha banks are especially llrm unc
much of this is duo to the faot thu
banking in Omuhu has been carried 01
in a safe and business like manner
Omaha bus been fortunate in having a
tlio recognized head of Us bunking inter
ests ono of the safest und mostcarofu
bankers in the United States. . It i ;
not necessary for mo to name him
Everybody acquainted with the leading
financial interests of Omaha and tin
west knows to whom I refer when
apeak of the recognized * head of tin
banking business in Oinahu. His udvie
und tlio intluenco of his example havi
permeated the banking business of thi
city for a quarter of a century and n
man can measure the substantial olTect
of Ins having been a citizen of Oinuhn
I believe that the banks of Omaha wil
pass over these somewhat panicy time
in perfect serenity and the reputatio
for solidity which this city now enjoy
from ono end of the land to the otho
will only bo strengthened by the event
of the year in other localities. "

The news of tho-dtanstcr flow like wildfire -
fire through the jlty nnd soon anxious
relatives added -W these who wcro
drawn td the scene bv sympathy or curiosity.
In a short time bodies were being brought
out so fast that they qould not bo attended to

slderablosufforing forwantof attention extr.i
vehicles were brought and the wounded
wcro taken to the hospitals , which worn
soon overcrowded and the sufferers were little -
tlo better oil than at the scene of the disas

sccnoand took charge of these least seri

S. S. Uaker escaped with a bad scalp
wound. lie was at his dcsic en thu third
lloor front. The crash came , ho said , with
out a moment's warning. Half stunned and
d.izod , ho found himself In the ccllur pinned
down by debris and covered with plaster ,
furniture anil chairs. Ho extricated himself
as best ho could ana crawled out of ono of the
windows. It was fully half an hour before
ho recovered himself and oven now can
hardly account for his escape. His coat wns

Account ot nn KyinvltncM.
Mr. S. Dana Lincoln , who occupies a room
n the Atlantic building , facing the rear of
ho theater building , gives this account nf
ho scono. Ho wns sitting at his desk at the
imo of .tho giving way of the lloors ,
Ho said ho heard a noise ns though
of dumping of bricks in an alley. Ho looked
out ot his ofllco window and saw clouds of
ilust rising to the top of tno building. 1m-
inedlntely lit every window do/ons ot heads
rotruded , wildly calling for assistance. It
seemed ton or llftcou minutes before the
llromen appeared with ladders , which wcro
Immediately run up to the windows. In
reality it was only a few moments. The
liremen rescued all these who had not es
caped by Jumping from the windows.
The last man taken out of the building
allvo was Captain Dowd of Indiana. Ho wns
found near the southwest , corner of the
building covered to a depth of two or three
oot with brick and mortar. Ho had lain
ihoro for three hours , buta falling beam had
odgcd near him In such a position as to
break the fall of the brick ami timbers nnd
when lifted up ho raised his hand , showing
that ho was conscious. When ho was lifted
into the Garllold hospital ambulance the
crowd saw that lie was nlivo and cheered
again and again.
A * the Tnjuroil Were Jtomovud.
The ambulances wore kept busy carrying
away the dead and injured. The faces of
many of the victims were covered with
pieces of cloth , an old coat , a newspaper or
whatever else could bo had , but some of the
mangled bodies were carried out with their
faces exposed to the gazoof the eager throng
that surrounded Uio"building. During all
the long hours w'hilq the workmen wcro
working with all , their strength to rescue -

Into the buildintr. '

talc of how some weru.taken and others left.
Desks wcro scan .half toppling over the
brink ot the broken floor ; others stood up

gathered up and saved , Many of them wore-
spotted with blood. ' '
Crush oil Out of llumnn Semblance.
That any ono should liavo escaped with
his life seems the work of a miracle. As
they were brought forth they presented a
spectacle that no one seeing it will over for
get. In many cases the semblance of human.
ity wns gone. It seemed as though the
helpers wore carrying out moro bass of mat
ter , smeared all over with blood , fllthy with
dirt , dirt ground into them , blood on their
faces. A wife could not have recognized her
husband in that condition. With such ten
derness ns rough and excited men could sum

the stretchers nnd carried to the ambulances
that llllcd the space from E to l ;
street. All the doctors could do for
them was to clear away some of
the dirt , plaster and lllth from the
faces of the injured men. In many cases the
dirt was ground into the eyes , noses anil
mouths so that without such attention men
might have suffocated. Many were uncoiv
scious and could not h'avo helped them
selves. With a clang of the bell iho ambu
lances started off for the hospitals. These
were soon overcrowded. Drug stores were
turned into temporary hospitals. People In
the neighborhood of the accident opened
their doors right gladly nud the dead anil
the wounded wcro hurried in.
When the accident wns over nnd before
the rescuers could got inside to their rellof ,
there wcro injured men who wore caring for
their worse injured brothers. There were
men who did not rush for the street to save
their own lives. Hcg.irdlcss of the fact that

A man whoso arm was crushed used hi :

and rafters that bore down upon their fol
lows. They upoku words of cheer whoi
their struggles wcro in vain.
When the first of the relief corps cntorei
it wns struck by the silence that pro
vnileii. There were no cries to bo bean
from beneath the debris. If any eries wen
made they wore stilled by dirt am
mortar that made almost a solid lloor 01
which men might walk. Alcn did not wall
upon it moro than they could help , howovci
for no one know but that ho might be stnnd

dying men. Nervously nud excitedly the :

task. Men worked like demons , with swoa
pouring down their faces. The dust nnd th
dirt lay thick upon their faces , so that on
could scarce toll the color of the man. Th

This afternoon the flro department turned
a stream of water Into tbo building. This
was dona to lay the dust so that the work
of clearing away could bo bettor accom
plished , A dled-ln-tho-wool
- - - government
clerk objected to this procedure , because , ho
said , the place was stored with Important
government pnpfirs , which would bo ruined
by water. A man who was standing besldo
him shouted back excitedly : " \Vo don't care
n d d for the pnj > ers of n government that ,
lots its clerks work In such a trap. It's
men we're trying to save not papers. "
At tbo morgue the sight was ono horrible
to behold. The little building , in which was
ono Ice chest nnd n dissecting table , 'vas not
nearly Inrgo enough to hold the dead bodies
brought from the wrecked building. When
the morgue was llllod the stable ! was turned
Into a reception room for the bodies.
Dlankots were spread on the lloor nnd the
remains were laid out as respectably as pos
sible uudr.r the circumstances.
Hlood from the bodies formed a largo pool
on the floor , and crushed skulls , In-oken
arms and legs , made the scene * Indescribable.
Then thcro wcro some of the victims who
linil not been crushed. They had been
smothered , nnd the discoloration of their
faces nnd necks gave visible evidence ot the
cause of death.
The president was Informed of the sad
event juat as ho reached the entrance of the
white house , by ono of the clerks and ho nt
once Intorcatcd himself in relief measures ,
learning with .satlsfnctlon what had been
done by Assistant Secretary of War Grant.

An examination of the ofllulals shows
that the Insecurity of the building was
brought to the attention of congress in a
pointed manner as far back as 1SST ) . Atten
tion was then directed simnly to the army
medical library and museum. The protection
of human llfo was not especially brought In
the question.
Mr. S. M. Stockslagcrof Indiana , who was
chairman of the committee on public build
ings and grounds in the Forty-eighth con
gress , made a report In favor of I he construc
tion ot a now building for the museum an'l
library In place of Ford's theater , then used
for that purpose. "Tho building now used
by the medical department for its library
and museum. " ho said , "is not only too small
to contain the records of the library and
museum , but it Is unsubstantial and dis
posed to destruction by lire. "
11 Insecurity \Voll Known ,
When the bill was before the house for Us
consideration , Fobrunry 10,1SHT ) , Air. Slorlt-
slagersald : "There Is a medical museum ,
the most complete in the world , the result of
the grc.it war , which Is now kept , in the old
Ford theater building , a building totally in
adequate to Us safe keeping , a more tinder
box , surrounded by wooden huildimrs nnd
liable to bo destroyed by llro at any time. I
visited it a short time ago in company with
the surgeon general and fouiul the building
in an absolutely dangerous condition. The
building was originally nut up under a con-
trnct in ninety days and wns very badly con
structed. The east wall is more than twelve
inches out of plumb. The southwest corner
of the building has given way until there Is a
great crack in the wall and the oftlcers in
charge have been prohibited from putting
heavy articles into the upper story for fear
of pressing out the west wall. It is , indeed ,
in a tumble-down condition. "
General Sloeuni , who also visited the
building in the course of the same debate
said : "My attention was directed to the
importance of this proposed building by
visits to the building where the manuscripts
and books and specimens are now kept nnd I
do not bulievo that there is a gentleman on
this lloor who would hesitate to vote for this
bill after going there and seeing for himself
the value of the contents of that building
and the danger to which they are now ex
posed "
Ilntl No Thought for-lliiiniiu I.lfo.
Congress acted upon these statements to
the extent of removing the inanimate con
tents of the museum to a now and safe
building , but congress and the War depart
ment thought proper to expose governments
clerks to risks from which they shielded
skeletons and medical books.
From a responsible gentleman who yester
day took a look nt the work going on under
the doomed building , this statement is ob
tained : "As 1 passed the building Cap
tain M. H. Thorn , chief of the bureau of
supplies of the War department , seemed to
bo directing some work and I stopped to see
what it wns. There was a bride wall run
ning from the buck of the building to the
middle of the lower lloor. which it supported.
A number of workinpmen wcro excavating
under this wall for the purpose , ns
I wns told , of putting in nn
independent electric light plant und
they were preparing to support it by under
pinning. It now seems very evident to mo
that ns they undermined this brick wall the
first lloor gave way , the second lloor , being
supported by columns rested on that lloor ,
collapsed nlso , nnd that the third lloor col
lapsed In like manner. "
As soon as Secretary Lament returns to
Washington stops will probably bo taken to
thoroughly investigate- cause of the dis
aster and to llx the responsibility if the
coroner's Jury does not anticipate the de
partment In that direction.
The collnpso of the building had excited
earnest attention to two other great public
buildings believed to bo in an almost equally
unsafe condition ono the government print
ing ofllt-o , where l.SOO people are em
ployed ; the other Is the rickety shell
known as the Winder building , also be
longing to the War department and oeeupled
by hundreds of clerks of tliut department
and the second auditor's olllco , This place
is notoriously dangerous , and the lloors nro
overloaded , all of the facts bolng known to
congress for years , but receiving no atten
tion ,
IJulldinp Inspector Entwlstlo , who has
two assistants , was on hand shortly after
the accident occurred. Ho said that last
week application was made to him for u
permit to underpin the bulldlmr , but ho do-
cllncd to give it , as it was a government
building , nnd came under direct supervision
of the federal officers. In fact , ho Imd no
Jurisdiction over the government buildings
nnd was prohibited by law from in
terfering. The cause of the whole
nffnlr , ho said , wns undoubtedly duo to
the underpinning. The workmen dug
under the heavy upright columns which sup
port the building and the collnpso followed.
One of the workmen , a colored man , who
was employed In oxcavntlnjr the collar , and
who escaped with only slight cuts says : ' !
told them yesterday that thu archway would
fnll , for every time any ono wnlked ever the
lloor It would bend. "
Jt is thought thnt when the debris la
cleared away all the papers of value will be
recovered.
Hiivi ) tlio llndloK All Out ,
The laborers did not ccaso their efforts
until ntiout 7 o'clock , lly this time
they had reached the bottom of the oxra va-
tion in the basement and further se.in-h
seemed useless ns the debris in nil
parts of the building had been entirely
cleared away. Some hold thnt two laborers
who were nt work in the basement at tin
tlmo of the accident were still missing , but
ns the search had been so thorough , nothing
to warrant its continuance could bo shown.
Hut one body , that of Dr. Nelson , was found
during the lust novcn hours of the search
nnd these In charge of the work think it Im
possible that moro remain In the ruins. The
work wns therefore stopped , the streets
roped close to the building und u police
guard stationed thcro for the night.
Various plans for the relief of the suf
ferers are on foot. At a meeting of citizens
this afternoon ? 5f , > 00 was subscribed ,
President Cleveland , who had bout

whole generation , as Unto is counted , has
passed away between the occurrence of the
awful tragedy which brought the odlllce
into world-wide nato and the hardly less
shocking catastrophe ) In which It figures
today. The date of the assassination was
April II , 1805.
Tlio building stood on the east sldo of
Tenth street W. . about midway between E
and F streets N. It was a plain brick struc
ture , painted dark brown , throe stories
high , having a frontage of sevonty-ono feet
and a depth of 10'J feot. Originally It was a
church , nnd then n theater. The building
was closed by Iho government limneklatoly
after the assassination , and twelve months
later it iwns purchased by congress fur
$100,01)0 ) for thu purpose of an Army
Medical Museum , to which it has
been applied , at the suggestion
of Surgeon-General Joseph 1C. Dnrncs , who
wns the founder ot the institution. The in
terior was taken out , remedied nnd made
lire-proof , leaving no tracing of tbo exact
scene of the assassination.
A Irent Loss to Sclmicc.
The museum was on the third lloor , and
was a unique. Institution , having no counter
part in America or Europe. It obtained
great celebrity and was visited by thousands
ef people , mostly mcdicnl men nud students ,
every year , who came from all parts
of the United States and abroad.
Visitors of every class were allowed
to Inspect its immense collections.
An attendant was at hand whose duty it waste
to answer questions relating to objects of
special interest. The iloor was well lighted
in front nnd roar nnd by a Inrgo central sky
light which also lighted the lloors
below through oblong openings. The speci
mens were arranged in cases and otherwise ,
divided into six sections , and numbered
10,000. The sections wove thu surgical , mod-
ic.il , microscopical , anatomical , the section
ot. comparative anatomy and the mis
cellaneous section. The museum was
founded in the interests of sci
ence , and its eolloution was the
finest of the kind in the world. The original
dcsiu'ii of the museum was the collection of
specimens illustrative of military surgery
and camp diseases tor the education of med
ical men for military service. Its destruc
tion will be a heavy , if not irreparable , loss
to the entire civilized world.
Vuluiihlo Itciordx Iuiniiiil. :
On the first lloor ot the Army Medical Mu
seum , ns the building has been called , wns
the pension nnd record division of the sur
geon General's department , where the
clerks employed numbered overlOi ) .
The majority were engaged upon matters
concerning the settlement of pension appli
cations. The hospital records stored on this
floor exceeded 10.UIK ) volumes , and as the pay
ment of pensions is based upon Information
received from these records the work of the
pension ofllco for some time to oonio is
likely to bo seriously impeded. The
alphabetical registers on this lloor , over
10.000 volumes , contained about t 1100-
000 names of the dead of the uriny
and besides these were the papers bulonuhig
to thu military hospitals and monthly
sick reports of the army during the re
bellion , 1SI51-0.1 , and these since received
from tlio various posts of the regular
army. The registers , in all , contained
the names of over 7,000,000 of
sick , wounded and deceased soldiers ,
and Hourly half the names were arranged in
convenient foim for overy-dny reference.
\nien roi'ovorod from tin' rains a largo portion
tion of this innnenso amount of v.ilunblo
military information as well as the records
of the civil war , which were preserved bo-
sidn it and very complete , is only too likely
to bo in n badly mutilated condition , and
much of it may hu irreparably destroyed.
TliuluiHitU nl" Mudleul Volumes.
The scco-.id lioor contained the library of
the surgeon general's- department , which
was considered to DO the largest and
best collection of medical books in
the World. In the cases wcro over
50.000 volumes and nearly seventy
thousand pamphlets , &omo of thorn very
ancient. They wore in man.\ languages , and
constituted n thorough history of medicine
nnd surgery , from the earliest times. The
library was used free of chnrgn by phy
sicians nnd was much resorted to , many
members of the profession going from dis
tant parts ot thu country to consult Us r.iro
and precious books.
On the north side , in the rear of the build
ing , wns n smnll wlntr , oecupird by tbo mu
seum workshops , nnd in front , on thn
south sldu. was another wing , used
by thu chemical labor.itory nnd the
ohiecr-s on duty. The laboratory .was charged
with the examination of alleged adultera
tions of medicines nnd hospital supplies , nud
other investigations of n similar nature
which come before the surgeon-general , who
has the cnio of the health of the army.
Among the most pn/.ed articles in the
museum were Illustrations comprising over
IiO.000 specimens taken from llfo ami arranged -
ranged in syslcmiUI,1. series. It was a very
interesting exhibition , even to the nonpro-
fesslonal. and furnished many instructive
object lessons. The display of surgical
implements and appliances was very largo
nnd Included the ancient ns well as the
modern , and thorn wns a Inrgo collection of
models of bnrrauks , umbulancns , railroad
cars for the sick nnd wounded , ect. A grunt
deal of pains wns taken with the museum ,
nnd yearly its unsurpassed collections have
been considerably inn-eased.

There's a woman In the caso.
Yesterday inoining TUB HEI : printed n ills-
patch from l-Yemont , giving the particulars
so far ns then known , of the killing of Au
gust Gotham by Charles Corlton. Only from
what Carl ton told the sheriff of Dodge
county on giving himself up was anything
known of the crime , oven the Identity of the <
murdered man being covered ny throe nil-
dresses found and the gonorat statement
that ho was a tramp. From what was de
veloped yesterday H Is safe to assume that
the tragedy was ab.itit the last In u llttlo do
mestic affair that will bo all cleared up be
fore the end of the trial.
August Gotham recently came to Southl
Omaha from .Norfolk , his family coming
with him , nnd the household goods were
established nt ,1 and Twenty-third streets.
Now , Gotham was about ! . " > years ot ago and
had four children , the oldest a boy of Hi , the
youngest a boy of 7. Ills wife had been
dead some time when ho met nt Norfolk a
young woman , or rather a girl of IN. Fooling
the nocii ot a wife ho mailo inatrlmonlnl
overtures to Iho maiden , and thev accord
ingly went over to lovv.i last November and
were married. When the Gotham family
left the Norfolk homo for South Omaha the
young stepmother started with the others ,
but somewhere near Fremont she disap
peared , and from that time till his death
Gotham saw no more of her.
limiting Spun of Mule * .
Last week a span of mules belonging to
Gotham strayed , and on Wednesday ho
started in search of them. Quito nntur.illv
hu concluded they had beaded for Norfolk ,
ami so ho started In that direction. Uoforo
leaving ho gave to his son , Louis , S185 and
left him in elinrgo of the fi.mily. With him
the dead man took some $110 , most of which
sum was found on his person nftor his
death.
The next heard from Gotham was the report -
port from Fremont of bis death. At the
coroner's impicst yesterday U came out that
ho had found his missing wife. On reaching
Omaha from Norfolk , limilo. the oldest of
Gotham's sous , disappeared , and It was sus-
jM'ctml that ho bad returned to Fremont and
joined his stepmother. This suspicion is now
removed from the youmr man. According tote
to th : > testimony of Mrs. Gotham , she was
married last week at Tilden , Nob. to Charles
Carlton , who is now charged with killing her
lawful husband , .lust , how Guth.im made
the discovery will probably never bo known.
It is known that he met the man who
killed bun , and after a short conversation
with him wns shot.
