This law authorises the governor to designate some bank In New Tork City as a state agency for the payment of bonds of counties, school districts and cities. The law also requires the bank to file a bond with the secretary fit state. The only bond ever filed waa by Kounu Brothers In 187(1. Mr. Searle figures there Is constantly on hand In the New Tork bank at least 150,000 of Nebraska money to pay off bonds and coupons, and by re pealing this law and establishing payment anywhere In Nebraska would keep this money at home. During the last year village bonds were Issued to th amount of 2.1S0; achool district bonds were Issued to the amount of 1 54 1.7 1 G ; county bonds to the amount of $3,18,917, making a total of $5,211,781. He estimates the outstanding school bonds In addition to the Issue of last year, amount to 12.600. 000 and tha village bonds outstanding In addition to the Issue last year amount to $10,700,000. The fiscal agent receives as compensa tion one-eighth of 1 per cent fit The money handled; the county treasurer one-fourth of 1 per cent for paying bonds outside of tha. state, and the postage and mailing expense la estimated to cost ona-olgbth of 1 per cent, making the total expense far handling the money pne-half of 1 per cent. This, would make the total cost rf handling the bonda about 151,000. Mr. Searle figures the money might Just as well be spent at home,' and ha dertaln It would make no difference in the tale of bonds Usued by any county, school dis trict or city lfi the state.'

While, soma of .the seamen held back tbs frantlo passengers by brute strength, others were preparing lo lower the life boats and rafta. Shrieks of pafn drowned the roar of the Inrushlng water. Despite tha existing pan demonium, the women passengers were placed In lifeboats, the male passengers and the crew selecting the unprotected rafts as their places' of refuge. Life Boats Ussrkel. . Captain McVey ordered all Ufa boats and rafts cut away an dbefor stepping Into his own boat he stcod on the, upper ?eck a moment to see that his order was exe cuted. SThcn he ordered that his boat, the largest on board, be, cleared sway. Befr.ro the men had an opportunity to loosen the tackles the bottom of the bat rested on top of the surging sea which was raging ver tho hurricane deck and for a moment It seemed as though the Ufa boat would be dragged down before she could be - freed from the doomed .steamer. . Every hand In the beat was too cold .to handle a knife and cut the ropes, which. however slipped through the tackles . and set the boat adrift Just as the vessel be came submerged. The passengers' dircom fort was Increased greatly the moment they, had launched their boats. Every wavs sent Its dash of spray over them. Boon a thin ccatlng of Ice enveloped every one.

Ths man's body fell to the bottom of the boat, whars it remained unheeded.

But tho boats we hravr:n4 the menfwt the oars were Wenk. -The boats and rafts moan became 'separated 'and. the only dstalls th. disaster,. which .could, be learned here were' given when Captain Mo- Vey's brat -came ashore. Not a man on board waa . able . to talk. Their feet were froxen so badly that the life savers car ried the survlvers bodily to the Ills savins station. ; Captalrt McVey, shortly after his arrival, said he had on board his ship between ISO and 200 passengers and a crew of fifty. Later, he said there were between fifty and seventy-five passengers on board the steamer when the Vssl wnt down. Tho latter figure, however, is far below the estimate made by the officials of the Joy line at Providence, who estimate the num ber of passengers at not less than 160. Ths exact number of passengers "was given In a list "Which wss harSJed ths purser Just before the Larchmont started on Its fate ful Journey, but It Is believed that It was lost When the ship went down. Exposed to Storm mtcs Hoars. Captain McVey said that had his crew been able to make progress against ths northwest gale they would havs landed at Fisher's Island between 12 and 1 o'clock. Ths wind, however, was too strong to be overcome, and there was nothing left for ths suffering seamen but turn around and head for Block Island, fifteen miles away. It was shortly after 11 o-clock when tha captain of the boat cut away from the sinking steamer and It was not until f:30 o'clock In ths morning that It arrived at Block ialand. Captain McVey declared that the crew of ths schooner was responsible for ths wreck. Hs said that had tha sailing vessel held true to ths course which It waa sailing when It-waa atghted there would havs besn no possible chance for an accident. The schooner, however, however, suddenly luffed and crashed Into ths port side of the Larchmont, almost beTore tbs helms men' had ported their wheels. ' Haley Blalmea taeLarchmoat. Captain Frank P. Haley of ths schooner Horry Khowlton, which was in collision with the Larchmont, stated that ths acci dent waa entirely due to ths steamer. Hs said that his lights were burning and hs held, to his course, with the expectation that ths steamer, having Sighted, him, would pass him with plenty of sea room. When he found that the steamer would not turn out. Captain Haley said It was too lato to avert a collision. His explanation of the collision follows: "I shall never quite understand how this accident occurred. Ths night was dark, but starry. We were . bound for -Boston from New Tork and were making fair progress through ths sound. A long Urns before ths accident happened we had stghtsd ths Larclrmont steaming wsstwsrd. Borne of ths orew were on deck a while and ws spoke of ths ploture that ths Larchmont mada all lighted up. Then ws saw that ths steamer seemed to be heading directly for us. "I remember that I looked up at eur lights, which were burning all rlgfct, and of course I expected that the steamer would lookout for us. But It kept right on. Boms of us shouted a warning and ons member of ths crew blew a horn con stantly. I scarcely knew what to do. I did not dare attempt to tack, to clear the path for the steamer because I thought It would turn out for us. When It wss light ahead there was nothing for us to do but hit It. The blow waa a very bad one. I thought we wen going down at once, aa ths schooner quivered and then reeled back ward with tha bowsprit, ths Jlbboom and ths rigging forward carried away. Ths water rushed in st once. Ths steamer lurched badly to starboard when we struck It and then continued on Its way. It did not soera to bs badly damaged." Vmrtf -Tares Bogles Reeverea.
