TO AID NEBRASKANS. STATEMENT GIVEN OU f BY THE RELIEF COMMISSION. Abont 240 Car Loadu of Provisions and Clothing Raised—Local Distributing Committees at Work in Twentysix Counties —A Double Suicide. Work of Relief. W. N. Nason, President of the Nebraska State Relief Commission, has made the following statement in regard to the reorganization and work of the commission : “The commission is not a one-man concern at all, as. in addition to myself, the following gentlemen are members of it: Rev. L. I*. Ludden. Secretary ; J. 11. McClny. Lincoln. Treasurer; Rev. Joseph T. Duryea. Omaha: C. J. Ernst. J. W. Hartley and A. J. Sawyer, Lincoln; Henry Sprick. Fontanelle; and S. B. Thompson, Broken Bow; making in all nine members composing the commission. \\ e have an auditing committee, and a record is kept of everything that is received and paid out. and the auditing committee audits all the accounts. At the last meeting of the regular working majority we authorized Rev. L. P. Ludden to incur incidental expenses, the principal item of which is the salary of one stenographer. All the bills are to be submitted to the committee for approval. “When we first organized the commission we had nothing to dispense ami our idea was to get people interested in the movement to raise funds without soliciting aid or advertising the State adversely, and we have been successful in obtaining large contribution- in this way. We decided that we would try to organize Omaha in a quiet way and get our people to do what they can to aid sufferers. We do not w ant to prey upon the citizens of Omaha, as they have so many charitable causes that they are taking care of now. but we merely wanted to stimulate the movement. “We do our work in a systematic manner. and wherever a county has applied for relief we have uniformly required the people of that section to call a public meeting and appoint a central committee, comprising two members of the county board and from five to seven citizens satisfactory to the people of the section to constitute the central committee, with whom we trrnsaet our business, and that central committee appoints a committee of throe in every pr • inet whore there is destitution, and this last committee acts as a visiting committee. We hive effected organization of committees in this way in twenty-six ano it s. ‘•Among others who have already given us relief from outside points are: Mrs. C. L. Burrows, of S-ivaana, 111., who has donated a cnr-l«> ul of coal. We have just received a check from William 11. Allen, of Boston. Mass., for $l5B, and t'ae other day the same gentleman sent vs a cheek for 1 e<id< < a lot of good clothing F. 11. Hummel has sent us $25. and the proprietors of a coal mine at Athens 111., have promised to send us the output for a half day of their coal mines, which will amount to about fourteen car-loads of cool, and the Burlington Road has consented to transport it free. “We have already’ distributed about 200 car-loads of p’ < vjsi ms. coal and clothing, and about forty car-loads r.re now in the tours-• of transportation. I should estimate that we have already disbursed about 511,500 for the relief of the sufferers. This is the amount of cash paid out up to date. It was arranged at the meeting last we k that there would be one or two members of the commission in the office at Lincoln from now on so as to attend to the prompt distribution of supplies.” HUSBAND AND WIFE DIE. Destitution »n a Nebraska Family Leads to a Double Suicide. As a result of destitution and their helpless situation among hundreds of starving people. John Harris and wife, living near Paxton, Neb., committed suicide with a razor. Mrs, Harris was found lying on the bed entirely nude, with her throat cut from ear to ear. and the bedclothing saturated with blood. John Harris, the husband, was found lying on the floor near the foot of the bed with his throat likewise cut. The couple had only moved to their present place a month ago. The house in which they lived was a sod dugout, situated, seven miles southwest of Paxton. The surroundings of the place went to show that the pair were in very poor circumstances. No motive can be given for the deed except that the wife was expecting soon io become a mother and was on the verge of starvation and suffering. They were probably 100 proud to beg. The following letter was found, written by the husband in a clear and steady hand: “Dear Old Parents—We have decided to end our lives together. Ida took sick before daylight and it is now 7 o’clock. Ida cut her throat and I cut mine. I would give the world to see my poor old father and mother. It seems like a year since I saw any of my folks.” The country round about Paxton has produced goad crops in times past, and will undoubtedly do so again, but the failure in 1893 and again in INM was almost complete, and the situation is most pitiable. Among the different families in Keith County now in a state of destitution there* are between 500 and 600 children. The commissioners Confess their inability to cope with the situation. LOSS MAY REACH EIGHT MILLION ■ Pierce’s Victims Said to Be More Numerous than Supposed. Information received in Yankton. S. D., from London regarding J. T. M. Pierce’s swindling transactions show that the aggregate British losses may reach the stupendous sum of $8,000,000. A letter from a London firm of solicitors says that not a quarter of the fraudulent transactions have yet come to light. It is stated that the receipts by Pierce at his London office were limited only by his ability to issue bonds and mortgages and other paper often exceeding SIOO,OOO a week, and it is alleged in Ix»n<U>n that he received no less than $500,000 during his last week there. It is owing to his gigantic transactions that his victims expect to receive an offer of compromise after the matter shall have cooled down. To make these losses known would impair the credit of the losers, and also make them an object of ridicule, therefore they prefer to bear their losses in silence. One million four hundred and four thousand dollars of forged bonds, mortgages and tax deeds an i now in possession of agents of creditors of Pierce in Yankton. They have been sent there as claims against the estate of Pierce, but this estate will not sell

far enough to pay the attorney’s fees. ■ The claims which are accompanied by the spurious security are as follows: American Mortgage Trust Company, London, Bedford investors, S2DOiMMI- Belfast investors. $150,000; Glasgow, Scotland, $250,000; Huddersfield, Eng., $100,000; J S. Fagan, Brooklyn, $76,000; W. S. Johnson, London, $50,000; real estate frauds in Yankton, $75,000; total, sl,404,000. INSURANCE FIGURES. Lohhum bjr Fire in the United States for the Year 1894. I he Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin says: The fire loss of the I nited States and Canada for the month oi December, as estimated from our daily files. amounts to $10,321,000, and the total for the year is therefore $128.--16.400. The following comparative table exhibits the losses by months: Jan ... $17,958,400 $ 10.568,4 H» iob ... 11,914,000 9,919.900 11 Meh .. 10.645.«M»0 Apr... 11.559,800 14.669,900 11,54<UMX> May .. 9.4*5.000 10.427.100 10,777,800 June .. 9.265.550 16.344.950 5.252.:;u0 J Ily .. 11.530.0tW> 12.1 IS 700 1<L.307.000 Aug... 10.145.300 13.222.70*1 10,432.800 Sept . 7,879.-800 10.50.700 10.149.900 Ort ... 13.349.200 11.014.7*10 S. 186 7* 10 Xov ... 12.008.700 11,493.0**0 12.135*800 Dec ... 12.354.450 12.105.475 10.321,000 Total for year $132,704,*00 $156,445,875 $128,246,400 A glance at the table will show how* much less the losses of 1894 are than those of 1893 or even 1892. When the increase in insurable value in the country, and particularly the decided and general advances in fire insurance rates, is considered. it is not strange that the fire insurance statements now being published should confirm our predictions of last month as to liberal profits. A large portion of the fire loss of the country is preventable, hut there is a deplorable apathy of public sentiment upon this point. In spite of the fact that this apathy is responsible for fire loss and resultant expensive insurance, poor or crooked fire marshals are permitted to be appointed, political “combines" sell inefficient water works to municipalties, fire chiefs get a commission on rotten hose and defective engines, incendiaries are vovertlj admired, if nut applauded, as “slick.” electric wires are recklessly installed. and worse than careless insurance companies insure suspected firebugs and dangerously constructed property Fully half the fire loss of the United States is chargeable to the combination of carelessness and crime, and a proper understanding of this fact by the masses would result in some reform at least. Who can doubt what the effect would be if the factors which make insurance costly were given with their respective proportions in detail in the agent’s bill instead of the mere lump sum of the premium? Supposing fur a $lO premium the bill ran: To natural and unprevcntabh: hazard. $4 00 To un:.voidable incendiarism 75 To crooked ui Incuiupeteut lire marshals 75 To dishonesty in purchasing fire appliances 50 T » political job in water-works 50 To recklessness of electrical companies SO io carelessness of underwriters 50 To taxes given away to exempt firemen 20 'I o other State or local raxes or fees. . 25 To poor or corrupt building inspectors 50 To owners not enforcing care iu building 25 To commission to agent 1 50 Total $lO 00 Were every premium payer to have the cost of his insurance analyzed for him. just as he was paying his premium, the needed reduction in fire loss would soon be brought abont by a wave of public sentiment. It is wonderful how what might be called the “wrongness of a wrong ’ stirs the righteous zeal of the populace when the nerve running from the pocket to the moral sense is agitated at its lower extremity. If every male citizen in the United States were this month openly and specifically subjected to a tax of $1 to make up for the unnecessary fire loss of 181*4 there would be a general move m the direction of reducing the fire waste to reasonable proportions. DYING IN A MADHOUSE. W. J. Scanlan* Once a Leading Comedian* Is Now Near Unto Death. Wm. J. Scanlan, who was a universal favorite on the vaudeville stage, is reported to be at the point us death at While Plains insane asylum. New York. He first began to show signs of paretic insanity two years ago, and was sent to I > r/ A ) - WM. J. SCANLAN. Bloomingdale asylum. This actor had a kv.u k of always pleasing his audience, whether by word or gesture His wit was clean and quick, and was due partly to his Celtic .origin. His failing mind and incarceration was a cause of deep regret to thousands of his admirers. Scanlan wrote quite a number of popular songs. “Molly O” was the one that had the greatest vogue. Scanlan’s career has been a strangely romantic one. When a boy he was a boot-black in New York, and here he first displayed his talent by amusing his patrons. When the dreadful malady came on him he was the leading Irish comedian in America. Congress to Legislate Sunday. The law compelling Congress to adjourn sine d'o at noon on March 4 will coitapel that body to legislate on Sunday this year. Our national lawmakers will remain in session all Saturday night and pretty much of Sunday. There will be an interim for sleep. From Sunday afternoon both branches will remain in continuous session until noon of the following day. This was the case at the close of the Fiftieth Congress, during Harrison’s administration, and also at the close of the short session during Hayes* administration. Edward J. Phelps. ex-M mister to England, has returned to New’ Haven to resume his course of lectures before the Yale Jaw' students.

SHOW UP THE SOUTH. PREPARATIONS FOR ATLANTA’S GREAT EXPOSITION. Arrangements for the First International Exhibition Which the Cotton States Have Ever Held—Shew .o Open Next September, Site and Buildings. Atlanta, Ga., correspondence: When in the face of hard times, with cotton a drug on the market at five cents a pound, Atlanta said, “Let us have an exposition,” people X were thunderstruck Y with the audacity us f 4 __ nJHB the proposition. When the Queen // City of the South AjfiiL F/ \ went further, and PilHHh * said, “Let us make ° Ur ex I ,os^'on na ' /i /a* tional—yea, interna/lr / tional—in character z ' f trr aut l scope,” th< n the X. w tr was a mammoth c. a. COLLIER. joke. But Atlanta has gone on with the project, and as a result all those who once laughed so loud at the idea have been struck with awe by the wonderful success which seems as sured for the Cotton States and the International Exposition which will open its gates to the world September IS next, to clone them on the last day of IS‘JS. There is every prospect that the Cotton

1 /r A k. - ATLANTA, LOOKING SOUTH FROM THE EQUITABLE BUILDING.

States and International Exposition will be ahead of the Centennial Exhibition in splendor and usefulness. Even with its excellent exhibit at the World’s Fair in 1893 the South could not hope to bring as prominently as it wished before the world its advantages in the industrial and agricultural fields, and so a fair for the special reason of attracting wide attention to these things will be of especial utility. And if superior organization were all that were needed to insure its success that is a foregone conclusion, for the men and women in whose hands the management of the exposition has been placed stand at the head of the business people of the South. AH things of a purely local character have been put in the background as far as Atlanta and Georgia are concerned, and the aim of the exposition will be the advancement UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING, of the interests of the country in general and the South in particular. Site of the Exposition. Piedmont Park, the site of the exposition, is located two miles from the geographical center of the city. The 189 acres within the exposition enclosure stretch over immense hills of gentle acclivity and vales of surpassing loveliness. The landscape gardening, rich in the profusion of Southern foliage and flowers, which will form part of the display, will be one of the most pleasing attractions. A beautiful artificial lake, to be navigated by electric launches and gondolas, will be to the exposition what the lagoons were to the World’s Fair. The main buildings, with their dimensions, are as follows: United States Gov- ( T rnment Building. 180x260 feet; Manufactures and Liberal Arts, 216x370 feet; Machinery, li)0x500 feet; Minerals and Forestry, 80x220 feet; Agriculture, 150 x 300 feet; Transportation, 126x413 feet; Woman’s Building (according to the original plans to be 124x134 feet, but these dimensions will probably be materially increased): Fine Arts, 100x245 feet; Negro Building, 100x300 feet. One of the novelties of the exposition will be a building, as above mentioned, for the use of the negroes and to contain

X, •

exhibits for their benefit. The negroes of the South will probably form no small part of the attendants at the exhibition. and the forethought of the management in thus providing for them is to be commended. A different plan as to the construe-, tion of the exposition buildings will be followed from

that adopted by the MRS. Thompson. World’s Fair managers, for the buildings are to remain after the close of the fair to adorn the park and form one of the future attractions of this city. Georgia pine will be the principal material employed. the inside of the buildings being for the most part finished in yellow pine. The exposition will not be without its Midway Plaisance, that part of the grounds devoted to such exhibits as were to be found on the Midway of Jackson Park in Chicago being known as the Terrace. The principal features of the Chicago Midway and many others will be there to furnish amusement to those surfeited with sight-seeing of a higher order in the other parts of the grounds.

Washington special: The Carli <e currency bill, which has been under debate in

the House for about two weeks, was ignominiously ditched Wednesday. It had not strength enough to surmount the first parliamentary obstacle placed in its path.

The Committee on Rules, in obedience to the decree of the Democratic caucus on Monday, brought in an order to close general debate and proceed under the five-minute rule until Saturday, when the final vote should be taken, but tie supporters of the bill showed lamentable weakness. They were unable to order the previous question, the demand therefor being refused, first by a rising rote of 92 to 101, and then on a yea and nay vote of 124 to 129. The advocates of the bill were dumfounded when they discovered that they had been beaten in the parliamentary skirmish, and the order was withdrawn. This was the first reverse the Committee on Rules had suffered in four years. An analysis of the vote showed that all of the 124 votes in favor of the motion were cast by Democrats, while 82 Republicans, 39 Democrats and 8 Populists voted against it. Mr. Bland and others loudly protested that the adoption of the rule would cut them off, Mr. Outhwait rejected all suggestions for amending the rule and demanded the previous question. The Republicans voted solidly with the Democratic opponents of the measure against ordering the previous question and it was defeated on a rising vote, 92 to 101. Among the Democrats who voted against ordering the previous question were Cockrell, of Texas; McGann, of Illinois; Hooker, of Mississippi; Ellis, of Kentucky; Money, of Mississippi; Bailey, of Texas; Bland, of Missouri; Hall, of Missouri; Holman, of Indiana, and Conn, of Indiana. Mr. Outhwait hurriedly demanded the yeas and nays and the roll was called. The roil call was watched with intense interest, but announcement of the result of the vote only confirmed the defeat of the advocates of the measure. The supporters of the bill made a desperate effort to secure a majority of the votes, but the previous question was again rejected, 124 to 129. The advocates of the bill had suffered their first parliamentary reverse. The failure to order the precious question threw the special order open to amendment. Though there wu-s no demonstration from the opponents of the bill, its advocates were panic-siri. kJn realizing that the vote given probably sealed the doom of the currency I J’. - Outhwait immediately arose and wi-to drew the special order.
