ber 1 the system of figuring stock rates by
the carload and on the snmo day substituted
the 100-pound rates , which , according to
the findings of the secretaries of the Hoard
of Transportation , wan really nn Increase.
The railroads made a similar change in
1S97. hut were forced to restore the old
rates by nn order of the Hoard of Trans

the railroads and they nro subject to a fine
of not IOSK than $500 or more than $5,000

lifttor from Smyth.
Attorney General Smyth today filed the
following communication with the pecre-
taricB cf the hoard , requesting the press to
give It the date of December in :
LINCOLN. Deo. 19.-To the Hoard of Sec-
rotation St.ite Hinrd of Transportation :
Oontlotnon- You , through your rlmlrmnn ,
IIMt J. W. Kdgerton , have stated to me
that the rnllroud companies doing buslnej-s
In this state tilmniloncd on December 1 i-.ir-
Inul rates and on that date substituted for
th"tn rales per 100 pounds and thereby very
rot.slderiHy Inercated rates In that re-
Bp'-rl. that during tin- Hummer of KIT the
Mime rompun'es made an attempt to make
the same elmiige ; thii ! complaint WIIH made
to you by the shippers of the slate , that
you lnvestlgato < l the matter , all the com-
rlink's being prefont nnd partld ] > .itlng In
the Investigation , and that , as u result of
that Investigation , you made nn order di
re , t'.ng ihc maintaining of the carload rates
nnd foiblddlng thp companion to substitute
for them rates per 100 pounds ; that by the
nttlon of Ihe companies on December 1 , re
ferred to above , that order has licen violated
lated nnd Is now being violated and you
ask me what remedy , It any , the state has
In the premises
The statuti- seems to provide but one
remedy In this case. Section 9 of article vlll
of chanted Ixxll declares In effect , that l
any railroad company shall refuse to obey
un ord .r of Ihe board It shall be subject tea
a line of not less than $300 or more than
J3.0V ) for c-nch violation of the order.
Section 10 provides that where the com
pany refuses , after luivlng received notice ,
to answer and an order of the board is
imade- . thai an Injunction may be obtained
to prevent the disobedience of the order.
Section 17 provides that where an order
Is made by the board adverse to the rail-
load company nnd an appeal Is taken by the
company to the district court such order
may lc made by the court as the law shall
warrant.
In the case now under consideration 1
think that the. only remedy which can be
availed of by the board is that provided by
section 9 , to-wit : An action to recover in
the name of the state the line Imposed by
that section.
Therefore procure , If you have not al
ready done so , the evidence showing a vlo-
lallon of the board's order , lay that evi
dence before me and this ofllco will take
m-llon promptly to recover the penalties 1m-
jiobed by the statute. Very truly yours.

Governor Poynter has Instructed the
prosecuting attorney of Sarpy county to
begin proceedings against the two soldiers
of Fort Crook who wore Implicated In the
shooting of a deserter several wcoka ago.
If his instructions are not compiled with
Governor.Poynter will again bring the case
'before the altornoy general nnd will prob
ably request him to commence criminal
proceedings. The authorities of Sarpy county
have shown no disposition to prosecute the
soldlern and It Is qulto probable that the
latter course will ho resorted to by the gov
ernor , as ho does not propose to let the men
go without a trial In some civil court. At
torney General Smyth has decided that the
men cnn bo held for criminal prosecution ,
but ho had made no recommendations that
such proceedings bo Instituted.
The recent decision of the supreme court
In the case of the Hartley bomlsrjen opens
the way for former Deputy Attorney General -
oral 13il P. Smith to get In his graft again
for a big fee from the state If allowed to
assist li the prosecution of the suit in the
district court of Douglas county. When Mr.
Smith was micceedcd by W. D. Oldham last
January It was supposed that ho would
receive no further Income from the state ,
but when the state's en BO against the bonds
men was brought up for trial In Omaha
during the summer ho was employed to as
sist the attorney general nnd his claim for
$ G25 for the wervlcea rendered was after
wards approved by Smyth and Governor
Poynter nnd allowed by Auditor Cornell.
Deputy Attorney General Oldham was at
the same tlmo receiving a salary of $1SOO
per year and entertaining visitors at thu
department of justice In the state house.
Mr Smith was In the city yesterday and
whlln here hold a consultation with the
attorney general relative to the next trial
of the bondsmen case In the district court

Nothing seems to stand In the way ol
the erection of the $75,000 library buildIng -
Ing which will bo given to Iho city of Lin
coln by Andrew Carnegie. The donation
was niado as the result of the efforts of S.
L. Gclsthnrdl of this city and Congressman
Mcrcnr and It comce at a tlmo when It will
be best appreciated by the people of Lin
coln. Since the destruction of the library
several monthn ago members of Iho library
board have been looking about for a new
location , but the gift of Mr. Carnegie has
solved the problem. No definite Information
concerning the conditions attached has been
received here , but It Is supposed that they
will bo similar to those Imposed with the
gift of $100,000 for the construction of anew
now library building In Atlanta , that the
city furnish $ fi,000 per annum for the pur
chase of books and the support of the In
stitution , In addition to furnishing a site
for Ihe building.
By an act of the legislature of 1877 the
city council can make nn annual levy of
only. 1 mill for the support of the library ,
which , according to the present valuation ,
brings In a revenue of about $ . " ,000 every
year. U Is thought this will pay all neces
sary expeuees and leave a good balance
every year for buying new books.
Several sites In the downlown portion of
Iho city have been 'ftggested for the new
building , but no selection will be- made until
moro definite Information Is received from
Mr. Carnegie.
Daniel G. Wing , who has just been ap
pointed receiver of the Globe National bank
of Boston , la a former Lincoln citizen and
Is well known In financial circles In Ne
braska. He was asclstant cashier of the
American Exchange National bank until ap
pointed special bank examiner for Boston
by Comptroller Dawes. Frcm the statement
given out by Mr. Dawes at Washington It
appears that the condition uf the bank was
discovered by Mr. Wing In tlmo to secure
such action on the part of the directors
ae will probably prevent Inlllctlng heavy

Depeuty Coroner E. E. Skinner has received
a letter from U. C. Noleman , nn atlorncy-
at-law of Alliance , Neb. , representing the
relatives of the late Mrs. Lomey Carmlchael ,
who perished In the Wceott wreck Decem
ber 1. Full details of the Inquest are re
quested and It Is also desired to learn where
the remains are interred , and whether they
can bo exhumed nnd shipped elsewhere for
burial. No Inquiry as to whether funds were
found on the person of the deceased Is made ,
but the letter speaks of Mrs. Carmlchaol
as having had several thousand dollars In
her possession at the tlmo she left Ne
braska. Her last place of residence was
mentioned as Marysvllle , Cal.
AH only about $250 was found on the body
of the dead woman the whereabouts of the
missing money Is extremely uncertain. It
may have been banked at Maryvllle , or the
unfortunate woman may have bad It In her
stateroom at the tlmo of the disaster. If
such was the case It now lies nt the bottom
tom of the ocean , for the quarters which
Mrs. Carmlchael occupied on the Ill-fated
craft were demolished In an Instant. Nolo-
man hns also wrltlen a letler lo the Messrs.
Scvler , attorneys of this city , but the nature
of the contenls is as yet n mystery , as they
have not yet received It.
At the tlmo Mrs. Carmlchael's son was
handed the money found on the body of his
mother ho made no mention of her having
any moro In her possesHlon , but In a casual
way remarked that they were Intending
to start In business here. Carmlchael U
now In Fcrndale , but as the letler nion-
lions his mother as being a close-mouthed

throw any light on the whercabouto of the

EVANGELIST MOODY IS DEAI

Dwlght I , . Moody , the evangelist wlnsi
fame was world wide , died at his home lion
at noon today. Ills family were gathcroi
at his Lcslde ! and thd dying man's las
moments wore upcnt In comforting them.
Early In the day Mr. Moody realized thai
the end was not far off and talked with hi :
family at intervals , being conscious to tin
last , except a few fainting spells. Onct
ho revived nnd with a wonderful dlsplaj
of strength In his voice said In a happj
strain :
"What's the matter ? What's going on
hero ? "
Ono of the children replied :
"Father , you have not been quite so well
and so we came In to sec you. "
A little later Mr. Moody talked quite
freely to his sona , saying :
"I have always been an ambitious man ,
not ambitious to lay up wealth , hut to
leave you work to do , and you're going tc
continue the work of the schools In East
Northflctd and Mount Herman and of the
Chicago Hlble Institute. "
As the noonday hour drew near the
watchers at the bedside noted the approach
of death. Several times his lips moved as
If In prayer , but the articulation was so
faint that the words could not be heard.
Just as death came Mr. Moody awoke as
If from slumber and said with much Joyousness -
ousness :
"I see earth reccdlpg ; heaven Is opening ;
God Is calling me , " and a moment later he
expired.
Dcntli Not IiU'\n' ! | < Meil.
The death of Mr. Moody was not unex
pected , although his temporary recovery
from illness was hoped for by his relatives
and friends. The cause of death was a
general breaking down of his health , due
to overwork. His constitution was that
of an exceedingly strong man , but hit
untiring labors had gradually undermined
his vitality until that most delicate of or
gans , the heart , showed signs of weakness.
Ills exertions la the west last month brought
on the crisis and the collapse came dur
ing the series of meetings at Kansas City.
An early diagnosis by eminent physicians
mndo It evidenl that Mr. Moody's condition
was serious , and cancelling his engagements
ho returned to his home In East Northfield.
On reaching hie home the family physician ,
Dr. N. P. Wood , took charge of Mr. Moody
and for some days bulletins as to the pa
tient's condition were issued , all having an
encouraging tone seemingly , but unerringly
pointing to the fact that the evangelist's
work on earth was about finished. Last
week -change for the worse prepared Im
mediate friends * for what was to come.
This week , however , the patient Improved
steadily until yesterday when he appeared
very nervous. This symptom was accom
panied by weakness which much depressed
the family who were anxiously watching the
sufferer.
Last evening Mr. Moody appeared to real
ize that he could not recover and so In
formed his family. During the night the
patient had spoils of extreme weakness and
at 2 o'clock this morning Dr. Wood was
called at the request of Mr. Moody in order
that his. . symptoms might be noted , . * j >
Family nt Illi Dcilnlde.
A hypodermic Injection of strychnia caused
the heart to beat stronger. At 7:30 : thla
morning Dr. Wood was called again , and
when he reachced Mr. Moody's room he
found the patient in a semi-conscious con
dition. Then It was that the family were
called to the bedside , where they remained
until death came.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been completed , but the services
will bo held next Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock In the Congregational church. The
burial will bo In the "Round Top. " This Is
a spot on the seminary grounds near Mr.
Moody's homo lot , which has become famous
for its summer meetings , conducted by Mr.
Moody. On this account It seemed to the
family fitting that the burial should be at
that spot.
The Northfield , the summer hotel con
nected with the Moody schools , will be
opened for the accommodation of friends
coming to attend the funeral service , the
hour of holding the latter being governed
by the time of arrival and departure of
trains. All three of the Moody schools
are at present closed for the Christmas
celebration. Telegrams of condolence have
been received from friends , admirers and co-
workorn with Mr. Moody In all parts of the
country.
KANSAS CITY , Dec. 22. Dwlght L.
Moody , the evangelist , was stricken with
heart trouble in this city on November 16
last while holding revival meetings at Con
vention hall. Ho was compelled to give up
his work hero and on the day following
started for his homo In the east in the care
of a physician.
Mr , Moody probably addressed the largest
crowds hero' during his stay that ho ever
faced. The meetings began on Sunday , No
vember 12. The crowds were Immense ,
thousands of people filling tbo hall afternoon
and evening each day. The strain upon
Mr. Moody wao great. Ho preached bis
last sermon on Thursday night , Noverabci
1C , fully 16,000 people listening to an earnest
appeal that many stated was nno of the
evangelist's greatest efforts. Ho wae
stricken the next morning at his hotel , but
laughingly declared he was all right and
that ho would be able to preach that after
noon. Ho grew woroo gradually , however ,
and It was doomed best to start htm for his
homo the next day , although the physician
stated Mr. Moody's condition was not neces
sarily serious.
