Pretty Bessie McNott Is lying In a new-
made grave In a Yankton. S. D. , cemetery
today. Bessie Is a stepdaughler of a prom
inent Soulh Dakotan named George Brown ,
nnd she Is also known ns Bessie Brown.
She died In Omaha last Saturday of mor-
phlno poisoning. Her demise was sudden-
very sudden , so it Is claimed. Some pcoplo
hlnl that it Is a oaso.of suicide. Others say
that she died from the effects of an overdose
of morphine , and that she was accustomed
to taking iho drug ns iv remedy for head
aches. Saturday she was enjoying apparently
good health In this city. At 0 o'clock that
night thca.r.gol of dcathn had spread his
dark wings over her young life. On the day
following her sudden taking-eft ( Sunday ) her
remains wcro forwarded to her slepfalhor In
Dakota.
Several months ago Bessie , who was a
bright , accomplished blonde of prepossess
ing appearance , arrived in Omaha and made
her homo while Hero at a rcsldenco lu North
Omaha. Later on she visited Iho family of
Major John B.Dennis at ! ! 218 Grant street.
Since then llmt place has been her home.
Miss McNott , the name she was known by
hero , had many friends and admirers and ns
she was a beautiful young lady of about 20
years , attracted attention wherever she
went. She went In good society. By her
charming , obliging and charitable manner
the- young woman formed many firm friend
ships.
'I heso friends have missed her since
Saturday night , and on Inquiring at the
Dennis household have been shocked lo
learn lhal she was dead and her remains
had been sent to another state for interment.
While silling out in tbo yard at her
Omaha home Saturday evening Miss McNott
was seen falling to the ground. Friends
hurried lo her nssislatico and discovered
that something was wrong. They did all
they could for tbo girl and then sent for Dr.
Impcy.
Case of Morphine I'olnonlnff.
The doctor had Just stepped off a Twenty-
fourth street car and hurried to Iho side of
the girl. Ho saw at a glance that she was
suffering from a severe caseof morphine
poisoning. He applied all the restoratives
and antidotes known lo medical science , bul
nfler a slrupglo of Iwo hours between life
and dualh Iho girl breathed her last.
The stepfather of the girl , George Brown ,
Iho proprietor of a large cafe at Yankton ,
Was at once notified and before morning he
ordered tU.it the remains bo sent to Ytiukton
for burial.
The girl never recovered after the doctor
arrived nnd the cause of her death seems to
have been carefully guarded.
On the afternoon of her death , Bessie
seemed as cheerful-us usual and evinced no
desire to leave this world. She had been
talking of friends and , according to the
story of n friend , she walked out into the
yard where she seemed to bo seriously think
ing of something. Shortly afterward she
became unconscious and died. Dr. Impoy Is
positive that death was caused by a largo
dose of morphine , but she was to far gone
when ho arrived to bo resuscitalcd.
Her Cllt Kxprenncil Wish.
The death ccrtllicato was handed to Cor
oner Maul , who prepared Iho "body , and
Sunday morning bur remains were for
warded lo Yankton on order of Major Den
nis , who exhibited a telegram purporting to
bo from the girl's stepfather. Her oft cx-
nrossed wish was to bo buried by her
" "
mother , who Is said to be buried in Yankton.
The sudden death of Miss McNott and tlio
meager details , caused some comment among
her friends and various rumors are alloat.
A reporter for Tin : Bcu visited the residence
of Major Dennis last night and was in
formed llmt nil Iho family , with the excep
tion of the young lady who responded to the
reportorhil Knock on the door , won ) absent.
Shu was asked about Miss McNott's dcalh
and she replied that the girl died from
apoplexy of Iho brain. The young lady
said death came very suddenly and had
proven a great shock to all Iho members of
tlio family.
"Why , " said the young lady , "Bessie hiul
I were like two sisters and 1 really loved
her. Shu was so kind and of such a happy
naturu thai no ono could help loving her. She
had been at our house for more than four
months and had greatly endeared herself to
mother and me. Her sudden deatli was a se
vere shock to us nil. "
Ton I.ntu to Help HIT.
The dose of morphine was a largo ono and
It had been given time lo purmcatu her sys
tem before medical aid had been summoned.
The family with whom she was living ex
plained that she had been taking morphine
HI different times for thu headache. They
think she took an overdose of the drug by
mistake , bin do not explain why they relate
that the cuuso of her death was from apoplexy
plexy of the brain when Ihu physician says
U was from morphlno poisoning.
The unfortunate young lady is alleged to
have passed through quite a romantic
career , although shu was only -1 years of '
ugo. She was beautiful , bright , accom
plished and of good physique.
Her beauty attracted many admirers ,
among whom was a traveling man from Chi-
rage , with whom It is said shu became in
fatuated. It Is asserted by an old South
Dakotan at present in Omaha , thai the
traveling man persuaded Bessie to elopu
witii him to an interior Nebraska town ,
when ) tt is said shu was married and after
wards cruelly deserted. Then she went to
Sioux City to neck employment as shu did
not caru lo luturu home.
Hcsulu was engaged to work for Will
Heck In a Jewelry btore. Thu man know her
father and wrote him about thu girl. Before
lie could arrive she disappeared and shortly
Afterwards came lo Onmhii.
Since comlug to Omaha Bessie has lived a
most exemplary life and It is Drcsumcd by
tome I hat her past troubles have so preyed
upon her mind that she determined to end
It all via the morphine routo.
Looks l.llio a Suicide ,
W. L. Oakley was killed by No , 8 , Union
Pacific train , nt Mlllard , Neb. , at 'JUS
ti'clock yesterday morning. The remains
were brought to Omaha last evening and an
Inquest will bo held today. The man was !
seen standing on the tracks talking to two
companions just as the train was approachIng -
Ing and the two men stepped aside , tolling >
Oakley to got oil the track , The man seemed
to hesitate with sccming indltTcrencu to his
danger and paid no attention to his friends , ,
or the signal , The engineer saw that ho
was going to strike the imm and applied the
nir brakes with full force wnllo ho reversed
the engine.
U was too late , however , and the : ! s
crushed him In a horrible manner. His ift
irg wan broken and almost savored , Ills
head was crushed and baCk broken , causing
instant death. The man was a stranger in
the vicinity where ho was killed and was
Ulentltlud by a letter of recommendation
showing ( hat ho was a bookkeeper und ac
countant , Ho had a letter from I. R Tr.nrey
d ted January : i , IbW. written In Now
York City on a Chicago , Hock Island & Pa

left them to seek health in the western

comptroller's office lu New York City , ed
ID iM'l ' , stAtliig lip hAd worked there for
years tt in1. w s a iciliblv man , Nothing
could be learned of Oakley's family or rela
tives or where ho resided. As the railway
company is In no wise to blnmo for Oakley's
death It In not likely that an Inquest will bo
held. It looks as If Oaklc.v stood on thu
railroad track with suicidal intent and de
liberately courted death ,

Jack Listen , ono of the most irapulnr
switchmen In the employ of the Union
Pacific road , lies dead at the homo of his
mother at 1211 Pierce street , whlttier ho
was taken Just after midnight.
About 11 o'clock Listen , who had been
attending n meeting of Division No. 4
Ancient" Order of Hibernian ? , nt
Center and Dorcas streets , came north
on Thirteenth street in company with
Block Watchman Jerry Murphy , Pat Line-
ban , William Kelly , Thomas Barrett and
Philip Ten-Ill. As they came up Thir
teenth si reel one of the party made
n facetious remark which caused Lislon
lo laugh heartily and ho hailed at the edge
of the walk to have his laugh out , while tbo
others walked on. Seeing presently that
Listen had not followed them , Iho other men
turned back , to Hud him leaning up against
a telegraph post , clutching blindly for it ,
and tollcrlng on his feet , A
couple of his friends came to his
assistance , and the others ran to telephone
for a cab , but almost before the cab had
been called , poor Listen lay dead in the arms
of his friends. IIo was at once taken to the
drugstore at the corner of Thirteenth and
Williams , and Dr. Kartcn and the coroner
were sent for.
Dr. Kartell soon arrived , and afler a hasty
oxamlnlion pronounced it a case of apoplexy
plexy or heart disease , he could not stale
which. Mr. Welch. Coroner Maul's repre
sentative , turned Iho body over to Heafey &
Hun fey , who took charge of it. It Is not
likely that an Inquest will bo held.
The dead man was about 'Jti years of age
and was ono of the best liked switchmen in
the employ of iho Union Pacific , for which
road ho worked in Iho upper yards. Hu was
sober and Industrious and the solo support
of his mother , whoso grief , when she was
called to see tlio remains of her unfortunate
son , was pitiful lo see. Division No.1 ,
Ancient Order of Hibernians , to which Lis
ten belonged , will take chnrgoof the funeral.
Listen's mother stated that her son had
complained of headache for a day or two
and to ono or Iwo of his friends he mentioned
that his stomach was out of order , and that
on Monday he got some medicine from Dr.
Galbraith lo relieve aim , but last night ho
was cheerful and apparently happy and
made light of Ills apparently Insignificant
ailment only a short time before ho was
overtaken by death.

since ho has been in Oimibn says that there
is no doubt but that he committed suicide.
This acqunlntancn says that Stellmacbor
was an ofllcer in the Prussian army during
the war of 1871. After the war was over ho
married and moved to Denmark , after which
be secured a divorce from his wife.
Ho removed to Norway and married again.

Tlio jury held to the grand Jury the follow
ing people : D. II. Burnham , director o
Edward Murphy of iho World's fair fir
dopaitinont ; J. B. Skinner , president of th
Hercules Iron company ; L'harles A. Me

K < l ward \V. Murphy ho held to the grand jur
for criminal neKllirenco , and there- held until
discharged by dim course of law.
Fire Marshal Murphy was apparently
much affected by the result of thu investi
gation.
"I think It unjust and uncalled for , " ho
said. "I was neither negligent nor was I
guilty of misconduct nt thu tire. "
President Skinner said the verdict was
ambiguous. The tire department and our
selves cannot both bu guilty In this case. It
must bo ono or the other.
There was no order of arrest made follow
ing the verdict. All four men will bo asked
to furnish bonds tomorrow morning , how-
ever.
The evidence on which Director of Works
Burnham was held to the grand jury is that
ho was aware of the faulty construction of
the building and still permitted it to bo oc
cupied within the exposition grounds. Skin
ner and .McDonald are hold because they
built the building , and Murphy because
evidence was given that ho did not fully in
vestigate Ihu II ro before sending Ihu men
into Ihu fatal lower. Murphy himself
swore that the men wore already In the

there by Captain Fitzucrald ,

An attempt has been made by the British
minister to induce the Chilian government
to favor London banks In its ar
rangements for the collection of the duties
on nitrates from the Tar.ipaca bank. The
law requires the tunic to guarantee
first class bills in payment of altrato
duties. The deposit of suftlcient security
uy the banks for the payment of the duties
Is rcqulreil to ha made. The bank o'f Tura-
[ jaca , which controls , through Colonel North
a majority of the nitrate concerns gave
security for only a small sum In comparison
with that given by the national
. banks. The Chilian government demanded
that the securities bo increased and
then the Tarapaca hank offered to deposit
the required security in London , the plan
the British minister asked tlio Chilian gov
ernment to adopt ; but the minister of foreign
affairs refuses to look upon the British min
ister's i suggestion as anything more than an
informal ' one. The Chilian government main
tains the attitude that it has the right to
direct Us llpanclal affairs in its own way ,
unembarrassed by foreign intervention. *

-Special to TUB Bcn.1 At the court mar
tial today Commander Hawkins-Smith and
Lord Gilford both declared that Tryon
slated to them that the collision was all his
limit , all his doing.
1 heard it stated outside the court that at
the moment before the Victoria disappeared
Tryon was seen entering the door of the
chart house , from whicli he could not hope to
escape.
Captain Bourku this moraine resumed the
stand in the court nmrttai resulting from the
slnklngof the British battleship Victoria , off

catno : aware of tho'danger of collision almost
a. soon as the Victoria began to turn. Ad
miral Tryon had consulted nobody about the
maneuvers. It had bcoh customary to use
thirty degrees helm , but Tryon changed it
tt twenty-eight degrees.
Lord Gllifordllair ! lieutenant of the squadron

Tr.on said to him : "H was all my fault. "

the vice admiral been afthu cerlaiuly would

When asked to explain how it 'was that

Iho vice admiral had virtually assented to

CIIICAOO , July 18. [ Special.Telegram to
Tun BIE. ] Thcro was a well attended
meeting of railway presidents held hero
today to consider what was to bo done in I
reference to freight rates In Nebraska in con
nection with the maximum freight rate bill
which soon goes into effect. The president
of nearly every road In that state was
present and the whole matter was gone over
carefully. All thought , of resisting the
application of these rates was abandoned
and the result of the meeting was the in
struction to the freight agents to go ahead
and prepare a new freight schedulc.b.iscd on
the requirements of the Nebraska law.
Not u Light Tusk.
The preparation of that- schedule em
braces a peed many dlfllcultles , and the .
freight agents who took up the problem this-
afternoon in the general meeting have be
fore them a complicated task. The law pro-
vtdes-for a dctlnlto mileage rate , and ono of
the troublesome complications that follows
the putting such law Into execution is the
difficulty of equalizing the rates on the
roads running to the same point , but reach
ing It over varying mileage. The question
arises as to whotheror not the longer line
will put lu the rate based on the mileage
schedule provided by law , and thus have a
higher rate than the shorter line , or whether
It will Ignore that schedule nnd meet the
rate of its more direct competitor.
.Settled In .Hovcrul Wuy * .
That question was taken up by the presi
dents and was decided in various ways to
lit various cases. To some points the longer
lines will put in rates even lower linn the
law provides so ns to meet the competition
of the shorter lines , while in others com-
petltivo business will bo sacrificed and no
rates lower than those made absolutely nec
essary by the law will be put in force.

CIIIOAOO , July 18. The Illinois Central ,
Louisville & Nashville and Queen & Crescent
lines have Joined in a call for a meeting to
be 1 held hero on Thursday of this week for
1t
the t purpose of considering World's fair rates.
The roads are not in favor of putting down
the ( rates any more than can bo avoided
and the meeting will 'probably spend more
time ti t considering ways and means of proven ting -
ing i the advent of cheap rates into their ter
ritory than It will spend in the consideration
of cheaper rates to the World's fair. The
southern roads have been kept very busy of _
late In handling their summer tourist busi
ness and as long as they can do a largo busi
ness at the present rates they naturally see
no reason for immediate reductions.
The proposal of some of the western roads
to establish one-faro rates , as outlined
yesterday. Is booked to meet some decided
opposition when the meeting convenes on
Friday. AH the roads agree that the re
duced rates will come at some time , but that
they will not come on Friday is practically
assured and it may bo August 1 before they
are in effect. The opposition to the rates'
was more pronounced today than it was
yesterday.

In the Dop.irtmcnl o. .luhlco loilny 11 was
a mailer of gossip that Attorney Genor.il
Oluey of Massachusetts would bo appointed
to the vacancy on the bench caused uy the
dctilh of Justice Blutchford of New. York.
U Is known lhat Mr. Olney Is dissatisfied
with his present position because tt pur-
takes too much of politics. Mr. Olney Is a
fine lawyer and would make a good judge.
Ho neither likes nortindcrstands thu politics
of his present office.
President Cleveland likes Mr. Olney and
has great confidence tn his legal ability , and
would like to appoint him to a place on tlio
bench. The chief drawback Is the fact lhat
Justice Grity also halls from Massachusetts ,
and It Is not regarded as very probable that
n second Justice will bu chosen from that
stale.
A sirong pressure Is being brought to bear
on the president to cause him to take the
new ( Juslieu from some of Iho easterly slates
ol the south. Tho. south complains , nnd
Justly , that she is not properly represented
on the supreme bench. She has but ono of
the nine Justices composing tbo court Judge
Jackson of Tennessee.
If the new justice should bo chosen from
ono of the southern siaics east of thu Allo-
ghenles ho is apt lo be either Judge Alvoy of
Maryland : , now chief iustlce of Iho court of
appeals of the dlslrict , or Major Joseph
aihi . Ctimmlngs of Augusta , Ga.a very able
lawyer. Should It go to one of Iho southern
states west of the Allcghenles the choice of
the president would probably fall upon Sen
ator Lindsay of Kentucky. Senator Lindsay
would undoubtedly accept the position wcro
it tendered to him. Hither ono of these
gentlemen would adorn the supreme bench.

Nr.w YOHK , July 18. Comptroller of Cur
rency James 11. ICchcls was a guest of hi
predecessor , ICx-Comptrollcr A. D. Hep
burn , nt dinner nt the Union league club
this evening. The affair was stated by the
distinguished diners to bo a pjroly social
one , given as n compliment to the now comp
troller and for the purpose of enabling him
to meet the Now York bankers.
The gathering of so many of the leading
financiers of the country , and the presence
In this city of the
comptroller of the cur.
rency , attracted much attention , and the
meeting between Mr. Kokels and thu bankers
was regarded more as a conference on the
monetary situation and the prospective
measures for Its relief than as n purely
social meeting.
As Mr. Hepburn Is not a member of the
Union League club , the dinner was given In
the names of Henry W. Cannon , president of
the Chase National bank , and Fred D. Tnjv
pen of the Gallatln National bank. Presi
dent George B. Williams of the Chemical
National hank and president of the Clearing
House association , presided.
Comptroller KcltelN * ICemnrkB.
CotiiDlroller Kckels , In response to a few
words of welcome from his host , Comptroller
Hepburn , said :
"When I accepted the Invitation to bo
present this evening it was that I might in
dulge myself in tlio personal pleasure of
meeting some of the representatives of the
great financial institutions of your city. I
did not then , nor do 1 now , Intend to make a
formal address , hut there are one or two
things that may not bu inappropriate to the
time or occasion.
"The condition which confronts the Ameri
can people requires thoughtful at
tention of every citizen who has at heart
the interest of tbo country. It Is not a
time of panic , because wo have passed the
period in our history when a panic is a
possibility ; hut it is ono of slow liquidation ,
the result of undue speculation and
unwise financial legislation , Nothing *
is to bo gained by taking on
a fright that is unwarranted by
the immediate past or the immediate future.
What the American people ought to do in
the midst of the failures that have occurred
is not to give way to uncalled-for alarm butte
to study the character of the institution !
which have failed : thu causes which liavo.
produced them and thu localities in which
they have occurred. After .such a study let
them view thu solvent Institutions every
where about them and the conclusion that
must irresistibly follow is that tbo legiti
mate life of tbo country is not threatened ,
but instead , it will come out of the present
turmoil the stronger for having passed
through it.
Flndi 1'ault with the. Wot.
"In conservative business centers thp fail
ures have boon few cither in banking or
other lines. Bad banking at such times la
dangerous and must inuvitabily bring dis
aster Upon those who engage In It. Tha
present stringency has simply hastened the
closing of some banks , because they worn
Inherently weak. Others have closed as a
resultant cfl'cct of having kept alive the
operations of speculators in the extreme
west and in portions of thu south. The art
has not boon discovered of making some
thing out of nothing and the financier who
stakes his all upon an unbuilt city reaching
out Into thu Waste places of the earth , must
bring about the ruin of his own kindred in
stitutions which liave trusted in him anil
pinned their faith to assets yet unborn.
"Disasters have fallen upon the specula
tive institutions of Doom cities of the s.atcs
of Washington , California , Colorado , Kansas
and Missouri , which have in turn injured
solvent ones , but the states uf New ICngland
and the cast and the middle states , and
those of the northwest not less than of the
south , have thus far escaped ; and , why ?
Bcciusu the foundations upon which they
are built is rock , aiuUnot sand. Such a re
view as that I have Mmlicatcd cannot but
result In quictim ; thofears : of iho timid and
encouraging those who-havo thus far main
tained an unswerving faith In the speedy
coming of Better times. It ought to check
those who Invite disaster by withdrawing
from solvent Institutions the money which
depositors cannot possibly use.
Micmlil Trout Hi" Itnnlis Hotter.
"The pcoplo are hoping and asking much
from the bunks of the country. In turn the
banks have the right of considerate treat
ment from the peoplo. Lot those who have
so long transacted business with thu bank ,
ing institutions have sufficient conlldcnca
in them to know and feel that if In years
past they have proved sale , that they are
likely so to do in the present emergency.
Huns upon hanks but destroy thu interest ,
which otherwise would ho protected , and
those who indulge in them cause to coma
about the thing which they say they wish lo
avert.
"In conclusion , permit mo to say that I In
dulge neither In extravagance of speech or
suggest a course to bo followed by the banks ,
but the steps through the past stress have
been such as lo commend them to the good
wishes of the public. They have displayed
a courage that has mot every emergency and
thu financial condition of affairs on thu part
of the hanks has been a constant source ot
Inspiration to all the country. "
Mr , Charles M. Prcslon , superintendent of
thu New York state banks , was the next
npo'ikcr. He confined his remarks lo otuto
buukjng and deprecated the Idea of removing
the HI per cent tax on stain banks unless
some uniform system of regulating the cur
rency bo adopted by every state in the
union ,
13acH of the other gentlemen present spoke
briefly and Informally , and Mr. ICckuls was
given a very good Idea of what the Now
York bankers would like the government to
do in regard to the treasury's action and
legislation of the approaching congress.
