New ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-Divers were
ut work yesterday evening removing
freirbt from the wreck Of the Empire
when the cabin bloke loose and the bo-
dies entangled in it were doubtless
swept away, including the Aemper
family and all others-women, CABIN
boys' pantry-men, walters, etc. An IN

Donation by Train.
OMAHA. Nov. 1S.-Georye Francis
Train rives a number of town lots
in this city, embracing 400 acres, to
Omaha for public park, on condition
that the city assume certain mortgages
and taxes about due. The indebted
ness is about 800 900, while the pro-
perty is valued at FIVE times that amount.
Mr.. Train makes the offer to the City
Council in characteristic letter, writ
ten from the " Hermit House." Mil
ler's Bath House, New York. One of
the conditions is that there shall be no
vote of thanks or monumental compll-
ments. He says ne don't want to do
any death-bed advertising, like Aston,
Peabody and others, but follows the ex-
ample of Mr.. James Lick of San Fran
cisco, and considers that property in
Communistic times as unsafe to hedge
against the coming storm by twisting
out of the minds of the community that
he is rich. Corporation lands and. mo.
nopolist:c reservations will soon be re-
turned to the people. Reputation is
pointed out over the financial horizon.
Startling changes, wiping out Church
government, society and marriage are
not far off. The proposition will soon
be considered by the City Council.
