ONCE He WAS WEALTHY.
Death Of a Pauper and His Unfortunate
Career

OMAHA, Neb.. Nov. 13.-Col George. a
we'll -known character in Omaha. died last
night at st. Joseph's hospital The de-
ceased had somewhat checkered career.
While he died a pauper, he at one time
was up in the thousands and possessed d
legnthY credit system in the rating Of
Bradstreet.
About twenty years ago the deceased
was the proprietor of the Metropolitan
hotel, at St. Paul, MINI. The property
then, which was from membranes, was
valued at $50, 900 He conducted an eX-
tensive hotel bushes, and through his
congenial ways managed to obtain large
patronage from the transient classes.
About 1875 he found himself independently
on his banking house for 100000
and it would have been hon
orod. But the time was not far distant
when things took decided change. The
colonel, like many others, speulated in
wheat. In the fall of 1876 ne started in
buying shorts, and when the bottom fell
out of the market he found himself COM
pletely tied up but financially ruined. He
issued his notes in payment, which were
soon followed by mortgages, and
in the following spring he
was dispossessed of his entire es-
tate and turned out upon the cold charity
Of the world, financial wreck. He finally
left the city and came to Omaha. While
here. and for the past three years. he spent
the night reposing in an armchair in the
rotunda of the Garfield House, being I'M
1oled out by benevolent friends who knew
him when he was in different circum-
stances. He was 60 years Of age at the
time of his death

HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT OF A COL
ORED MAN

MONTICELLO, Fla, Nov. 13.-The most
horrible affair that was ever perpetrated
in this county occurred last Tuesday and
has set the people wild. About a month
ago fracas occurred in a mill house at
Lloyd station, west of here, in which John
l.. Bryan was seriously cut with knife,
and for some time it was thought that the
wound would iprove,.fatal There was no
positive evidence as to VINO did the cut

Houston, j. l.. Bryan and Arthur
Dunkin repaired to JudsOn Cason's
residence and enticed the man from his
home under the pretense that his presence
was necessary at Lloyd's station. AS soon
as he had crossed the county boundary
line he was notified that he was a pris-
oner and under arrest. His hands
were tied behind him with rope, and
he was then taken to Lloyd's and
delivered TO MIR. Gus Simmons, who
said he would carry him to Monticello in
the morning. He was placed in the depot
warehouse and a guard placed over him.
Early in the night the man was placed in a
wagon and conveyed to the Minnobukle
Sinks, two miles distant, and there mis-
body was found on Thursday morning.
The body had been fearfully cut up,
aud five or six rocks tied around ii

though the wounds were frightful aud
sufficient to evidently cause death. John

ADAMS EXPRESS EXTENSIONS.
Routes to BE Established Throughout
Europe.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 13.-On November
Is the Adams Express company will be in
operation over the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railroad, according to President
Hoey, who is in the city. The suit
instituted by the United States Ex-
press company against the st.
Paul road for breach Of contract,
claiming that, according to the pres
ent agreement, that road was compelled to
allow the United States Express company
the use of its lines for another year, has
been settled in favor of the railroad, and
thus the United States company loses 5000
miles of valuable territory, which hereafter
will be operated by the Adams Express
company.
Several new changes have been inaugu-
rated as a result of the move, J. thinner
man being appointed as super
intendent OF the Northwestern di-
vision, with his headquarters at
Chicago, and numerous route agents ap-
pointed for northern and southern points.
The officers Of this DIVISION known as the
western division, will remain unchanged.
W. II. Damsell of st. Louis, acting as Su-
perintendent.
Among other projects Of extension now
entertained by the officials OF the Adams
express company is the establishment
OF the companys Offices throughout
Europe. President Hoey has but
lately returned from that coun
try, where he has been perfecting all
the necessary arrangements for placing
their cars on fast through trains from
London to Dover, Liverpool to London,
Calais to Paris, from Paris to Berlin, and
between nearly all the large cities of
Europe. Thus it will be possible for per-
son in this city to ship direct to the prin-
cpal cities of the old world with the
assurance of the quickest delivery possible.
President Hoey has officially stated that
the service would be in operation by
spring.
1--WE want" he said, "an Adams car on
all express trains and will have them if
we carry only one package day. At first
the business would be a through express
service between prominent cities, such as
Liverpool, London. Hamburg. Bremen,
Berlin, Brussels, Vienna, Calais, ETC., but
will ultimately be extended into all parts

THEWHlTECHAPEL MURDERER.

| lie VIII ECH2FEI MUNOeRGR'
| NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The New Yorker
Zeitung of today contains cable from
Paris from their regular correspondent,
telling of possible clue to the White
chapel murderer. The correspondent says
that years ago. when he was in Paris, that
city was startled by series of murders
by man who was called the Saver of
Lost Souls" This mans name was
| Nlcholaus Wassilyle. In the year 1872 there
| was movement in the orthodox church
OF Russia against some sectarians, which
caused good deal of excitement. Ncho-
lauS Wassilyie left home and wealthy
| parents and fled to Paris. He spent all
| the day in his room studying and spent the
nights wandering Though the streets
until morning dawned. He devoted his
time trying to reform fallen women.
When mere words had no effect he
paid them large premiums to be virtu
Gus, and when this failed he threatened
them with death. Throwing them down
and kneeling over them with knife, he
compelled them to swear solemn oath to
reform. One evening he met in the Rue
de Richelieu beautiful girl with an elf
like figure and beautiful blue eyes. This
girls look seemed to make deep impress
sion on him. He spoke to her-she was a
lost one, tOo-but not with brutal force;
with kind sympathy he touched her SO
deeply that she told him the whole story of
life Wassilyle for the first time in his
life. fell in love- He procured her place
fer her support, although he made
her believe that she was supporting her
self. For several weeks the girl, who
had some regard for her protector, kept in
the path of virtue, but one day she left a
letter for him in which she said that
though thankful TO him for all his kind
ness. her life was now too ennuyant for
her and she preferred to be left alone
Wassilyie was in a fearful mood after this
attracting the attention of the con-
stables by his actions. Eight weeks
afterwards he disappeared. At the same
time, Madeline, the woman whom he
supported, was found murdered in the
quarter where she had formerly led life'a
life of shame Two days afterward in a
quiet side street of the Fauburg st. Ger
main, the corpse OF another murdered
woman was found. Three days afterward
pyhrne of the Quarter Mouifetard was
butchered at night All the murders were
perpetrated in the same horrible
way as those in Whitechapel. jew
els and everything of value on
the corpses remained untouched. Five
more victims were found butchered in the
ACCOMPLISHMENT Des Pantheon, between the
boulevards St. Michel and De Hospital
Then in the Rue De Lyon an attack was
made on a street girl, who had the chance
to cry for help before she was strangled. A
throng gathered, the police arrived and
the would be murderer was captured. 1t
was Nicholaus Wassilyie. The mob wanted
to lynch him, but he was protected. When
his trial was in progress, his lawyer,
Jules Glaunier. claimed that his client
was insane. The jury decided that such
was the case and Wassilyie was sent back
to Russia after short stay in the private
asylum of Bayone. From Tiruspol he
was released on January l, of this year
Is Wassilyie the Whitechapel murderer?
He is in the possession of considerable
wealth.

ARKANSAS.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 13.-It is i'm
possible to give the result of the election
in the first and second congressional dis
tricts, for the reason that only about two
thirds of the counties in each of the dis
tricts have reported the official count
Featherstone, Wheel candidate in
the First, who charges innumerabie
frauds by the Democrats in the
negro counties, alleges, even admitting the
Democratic figures, that he is elected over
Cate, Democrat, by 200 or 800, while the
Democrats maintain Gates election by up
wards of ], 200 votes. The same state of
affairs exist in the second district, where
Clayton, Republican, and Breckenridge,
Democrat, were the opposing candidates.
Both Clayton and Featherstoue say they
will contest before congress if they do not
receive their certificates Of election.
The facts relative to the Second district
are as follows: Official returns from ten
counties give Breckenridge majority of
$3.50. total for breckenridge of II 1856 and
Clayton of S,406.
In regard To the other counties in the
district Democrats claim GOO majority
for Breckenridge in Grant, 400 in
Cleburne, 2S3 in Van Buren, and
225 Ia Faulkner They give CLAYTON
3, $50 in Jefferson and in Conway. This
would elect Breckenridge by from 600 to
oUO majority. Inc RepdDlcdnS, however,
deny the claims, and refer to a stolen bal
lot box in Conway comfy and charge
osher things throughout the district.

returns are in from eight counties, out of
seventeen, and they give Cate. Democrat.
