Father Albcric , elected abbot of New Mel-
Icray monastery lit June last , was Invested
today by Archbishop Hcnncssy , The ceic-
mony witnessed In the monastery chapel this
molding \ tailed the ( solemn blessing , and
It differs from the ceremony attending the
consccra Ion of a bishop solely In the partlcu.
lar that the unction , or oil , Is not used. The
ceremony of consociation took Its name from
the circumstance that It Involved the use
of the ) holy oils. In the day * of &U Augus
tine all the blnliops dwelt In monasteries and
each had as his diocese the country con
tiguous to Ills monastery. An abbot of the
present day Is a bishop with Jurisdiction con
fined to the monastery within which ho Is
supreme but without which ho has no Juris
diction. In the case of his solemn blessing ,
as In the case of the consecration of a bishop ,
he celebrates mass at the side altar while
the conaocrator pontificates at the malu altar
and each has hie train of attendant priests.
Llko the bishop he receives the mitre , the
rape the crosier or pastoral staff and the
pectoial cross , the symbols of the episcopacy ,
but. unlike the blohop's , his croos and crosier
'
are of wood , not gold , 'and , unlike the BCCU-
lar priest , raised to the purple , he retains
the habit of his older. He receives a berretta
during the ceremony , but does not wear It
thereafter The sermon Is a feature of the
ccre.iiony Tnu discourse this morning was
delivered by Very Hov. P. J. McQrath of
Charles City. Custom requires that the
blera'ng be given by an abbot of the order
but , there being none In this country , It was
found necessary to apply to Homo for a dla-
rcnsatlon and much time elcpscd before this
was received.

ST LOUIS , Oct. 28. A movement Is on
foot among St , Louis manufacturers and
other largo consumers of coal to operate
mines and get the product at first hand. As
o result o ( the strike among Illinois miners ,
the mines from which the supply of coal
for St. Louis Is dug are closed and there Is
a great scarcity of the bituminous article
here , It has been proposed by James A.
Heat-don , a well known business man , and
one of Ilici largest consumers of coal In the
city , that tlm manufacturers get together
and operate mines for themselves. By that
method they would not only free thcmselvei
from thei trust , but would be able to pay
the minors good wages and still obtain their
coal eiupply cheaper than It could bo pur
chased In thu market. The Idea Is in eat Ing
with considerable favor , and Mr Ileardon
confidently predicts that a number of the
big local coal consumers will soon be taking
out their own coal from their own mines.

NEW YORK , Oct. 28. A dispatch to the

The outgoing authorities have struck a
heavy 1 blow at autonomy by permitting ( to
use an unprejudiced word ) the killing of
General Castillo. He was betrayed by a
j Cuban ( guide and captured on last Friday.
On Monday he was shot. It was more satis
factory to shoot him than to treat him as
a prisoner of war. Castillo commanded Ha
vana province and was beloved as a noble
and brave general by every Cuban under
arms.

lying 111 with fever In a secluded spot when
the guide betra > ert him. The exhibition of
his bsdy has aroused Indignation even among
Spanish officers. Side by side with him
In the morgue was the body of a man who
had starved to death. The two presented a
plain Illustration of General Weyler's meth

A manifesto will be circulated and signed
by President Capote and Generals Gomez

the plan of securing the 'Incorporation of
their town ac a village. Yesterday a petition
was filed , abklng the county commissioners
to 'Incorporate the town. The petition Is

The Bensonltes attempted to have their
town Incorporated over a year ago. They
filed a petition with the Board of County
Commissioners , but the latter denied the ap

OMAHA , Oct 28. To the Editor of The
BeeIn the latter part of your article In
this evening's Bee entitled 'The Most Ef
fective Answer , " you give the wrong reason
whj the olllce of George Helmrod as county
treasurer has Just been examined by tne pres
ent state treasurer examiners.
The law says , "There shall be an examina
tion of the books , accounts and affairs , of
each county treasurer's ofllce In this state
made not less frequently than once every two
years. "
Our predecessors In office were republicans.
They examined this county on March 5 , 1894 ,
and should have examined It again not later
than March 5 , 1896 , but they retired from
office In January , 1897 , without having ex
amined It again. Some other counties were
left still longer. Because of their failure to
comply with the Ijw this county has remained
without the benefit of an examination for
about three and one-half yeacs. It was there
fore our plain duty to examine this cilice as
soon as we could get to It , . This we have
done 'In the regular course ; of duty and not
for political reasons.
You are wrong when you say that "an at
tempt was made to hold the report back over
clectlrn " The truth Is th\ > the holding back
of the report a single moment after comple
tion was never contemplated. Our report
slows that the bookkeeping In the olllce of
Treasurer Heimrod Is gooxl , .It 'also , and of
necessity , shows that oyer , $ CO,000 of the
money belonging to the county , which should
now bo subject to check. , Is tied up by the
failure of the German Savings bink and of
the Midland State bank.1

that no more of the checks ; will show up.
Had Elliot succeeded In pawing any more

they would have undoubtedly been received

General Manager Dickinson of the Union
PacificMs Just returned from St. Louts ,
where he had a conference with President
S. II. II , Clark of the same railroad regard-
ing matters concerning the futuie of the
Union Pacific. Slnco his return there Is a
further | belief among attaches of the Union
Pacific ' and some other railroad men hero
that S. H. II. Clark will bo the president of '
the t : reorganized company and that Edward
Dickinson , will be the first vice president
and general manager. The probability of
these selections is not now , but that they |
will bo made Is a belief that is growing
moro general as the reorganization comes
closer.
Regarding the health of Ptesldent Clark ,
General Manager Dickinson yesterday
said that excepting a disease of the left eye ,
which bothered him considerably , Mr. Clark
appeared fairly well. He was Inclined to betl
, lleve J , ho would be present on Monday next
to see the sale of the railway property.
l , With the continued Ill-health of President
Clark , It Is believed the- operation of the
railroad , its management and many executive
matters . in connection therewith would be
left J to Mr. Dickinson. It Is argued by many
In and out of Union Pacific circles that from
an Omaha standpoint no better selection
could bo made , as they contend that the
lojalty ' of both Clark and DlcklnsJn to
Omaha . Is unquestioned. It Is maintained '
that this Is especially desirable because of
the necessity of the construc-ilon of a Union
Pacific passenger station here.
That both officials named favor the Ninth
and Farnam street location for n passenger
station Is known It Is believed that one
of the first steps taken after the reorganisa
tion will be toward such a structure.
It Is a fact that Mr Ames , n member of
the reorganization committee , In his recent
visit to Omaha , spent much time In In
vestigating the question of a new and suit
able station. The sc ( of the Burlington's
new structure , as seen from the walls now
built up to the first story , It Is said , docs
not appear ample for the accommodation
of any lallroad except the Burlington. All
Indications point toward a revival of the
Ninth and Farnam project won after the
reorganization , and this belief is strength
ened by the groivlng belief that Clark and
Dickinson will bo at the head of the new
company.
A director of the Union Pacific not long
ago f ald to The Bee "I believe that steps
toward the * building of a new passenger
station at Ninth and Farnam streets will be
taken by the reorganized company. It Is
well known that Mr. Claik Is hcartllj In
favor of that location. I believe there Is no
doubt that the Missouri Pacific and all of
the roads of the Northwcvtcrn system would
come In. It Is probable that the Milwaukee
would also. The nock Island , like the
Burlington , Is a through cast and west
line , and might prefer to remain at the
Burlington station. Stock In , terminal com
panies Is a good Investment , and with the
icvlval of business I believe the matter cai
bo successfully accomplished The flnanceo
of a terminal company would bo entirely
apart from those of the railroads using the
station. The roads might go Into the hands
of the receivers , and yet they would have
to have terminal facilities and the terminal
company would continue to nay. "
Asked about the settlement of the Union
Pacific-Short Line troubles and whether any
now agreement concerning constructive mile
age allowed the Short Line by the Union
Pacific had been made , General Manager
Dickinson said. "Everything Is now settled ,
and I think satisfactorily. The construc
tive mileage feature of the Interchange of
business has been entirely wiped out by the
row agreement. Business was so good during
the time that we were out wlth _ the Short
Line that any difference In the amount of
traffic was scarcely appreciable at this point.
The business of the road Is very good now ,
and with the settlement of the Short Line
question everything seems to be all right.
It now appears certain that the road will be
sold on Monday next , but wo get most of our
Information on this matter from the newspa
pers. "
