Rocks and Wrecked.
BosToN, Jan. 2l.--Captain Blair, of the tug
Morse, started from Boston last Saturday for
Vineyard Haven. He was en- route to Port
land with two barges AT II p. m on sun
day, when the tug Morse was off Race point,
she encountered a terrific hurricane with a
heavy snow storm, and her decks were swept
by u high sea. Soon after 230 this morning
she struck on Harlin's ledge. When the tug
went ashore the barges Josephine and Run
van, in tow, dragged heavily and soon the
ropes parted and tho tug foundered and the
Josephine went ashore also. a fireman
named Carleton was drowned in attempting
to reach shore in a small boat.

seventeen in the rigging, and shot life line

The Josephine, after striking on Harlins
ledge, was lifted by the sea, and drftcd with
great rapdity toward the shore. Passing
over Bug Light bar, she was driven with tre-
mendOus force against the breakwater on
the southeast point of Allert6n hill. and in u
few moments was dashed entirely to pieces
on the great lodges that line the coast at this
point. Two of her crew of four men were

thus far this winter by the heroes of Hull.

TRAGEDY OF "A DOCKET.
How MIR. Chambers Failed to Get
Whnt He Went Af;er.

/
lii every well-regulated Office of clerk of
the United States court is an appearance
| docket, in which the clerk enters the DEGREES
| and judgments of the court. Such docket
| is kept in the Office of Elmer d. Frank,
| clerk of the United States circuit court IN
| this city.
When transfer of real estate is made, the
| purchaser is interested to know whether
| there are any judgments hanging over the
realty, and it, therefore, devolves upon an
abstractor or an attorney to gain this in
formation in making an accurate abstract of
the property.
With such an object IN view, John M.
Chambers, an abstractor, called at Mr..
Franks Office yesterday and requested the
docket.
81 shall have to refuse your request, sir"
replied the young lady who has charge of the
docket, in the absence Of the CLERK at Lin
coin. My instructions are to permit no one
to see it. If you want any information, l

which hung en- the wall, signed by Attorney
General Garland, wherein it is stipulated
that the clerk is entitled to Ii cents for

Suiting the action to the word, he stepped

cover the docket.
you cannot have it," growled Chambers,
'and if you take it it must be by main force,
which will amount to assault and battery"
Not dismayed, however, the lady ran
to the Office of the United States
marshal and summoned him to her
assistance. Mr.. Blerbower Immediately
complied when decidedly hot interview be-
tween the two men occurred. Chambers at
tempted to bluff the officer as he had tho
lady, but finally succumbed and left the
officer in disgust.
Only last week the deputy clerk with
out ceremony took the docket from Cham
bcrs, who had called and was consulting it
without permission.

says, consists of seven different funds and
the county tax Of about the same number.
Every one of the different state funds, eX-
cept the school fund, is for tho support of the
state government and its institutions, and
could be collected and disbursed much easier
ohroueh one general fund.- He also advises
that the state tax be apportioncd among the

Insurance Men Alarmed.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 21.--[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. The opposition of insurance
companies to legislation is increasing. 1t IS
now certain that they propose to fight all
Legislation not to their liking. Some twenty
or thirty lobbyists have been laboring with
the house to-day to defeat the following bill
Section 1. Whenever any policy of insur-
ance shall be written to insure any real prop
erty IN this state, against loss by fire, tor
nado or lightning, and the property insured
shall be wholly destroyed without criminal
fault on the part of the insured
or his assigns, the amount of the
insurance written in such policy shall
be taken conclusively to be the true value of
the property insured, and the true am cunt
of loss and measure of damages.
Section 3 This act shall apply to all poll
cies OF insurance hereafter made or written
upon real property in this state, and also to
the renewals, which shall hereafter be made,
of all policies heretofore written in this
state, and the contracts made by such poll
cies and renewals shall be construed to be
contracts made under the laws Of the state
Section 3. The court upon rendering iudg
ment against any insurance company upon
any such policy of insurance shall allow the
plaintiff a reasonable sum as an attorneys

LINCOLN, Ncb., Jan. al Special to THE
BEE.l-Senator Lindsay says his committee
is not quite ready to report on the bill for the
submission of prohibition amendment. 1t
is known, however, that the committee will
recommend the passage of the measures.
The vote will be Lindsay. Hurd and Shanncr
in the affirmative, with Ransom and Boards
ley opposed.
'Eightcen senators are known TO favor
submission" said MIR. Lindsay, land three
or four are doubtful. We need twenty votes
to carry the bill. In my opinion this legisa-
ture will pass either an act to submit or a
prohbitory law There are in the house
flfty-six members for submission, which is
within four of enough votes. l think there
is an understanding that if the bill for sub
mission fail the fight will be for prohib-
itory statute, and when "A lot of men banded
together like that cannot carry their primary
object there are good chances of catching a
few votes on an alternative. Yes, sir,
think 1t will be submission or prohibition"

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan, 2l.--TSpecial to TIE
BEE. The Cady bill for the appointment of
an examiner of county treasurers accounts
is attracting considerable attention. The
author of the measure says:
II have lived in Nebraska twelve years,
and for twothirds of that time was in the

opportunities for learning of the shortages

think half the counties OF the state, at one
time or another, have had grave irregulari-
ties in their financial affairs. On the spur of
the moment can call to mind Adams, Buf-
falo, Sherman, Valley Howard, Merrick,
Platt Madison, Knox and ColfaX Mind
You, do not say all of them have had finan-
Cial losses, for in some cases the treasurers
or their bondsmen have made good the de-
hcits. Instead of growing better there
seems to be more laXity than ever BY far
the larger number of these shortages is not
the result of dishonesty They are of grad
ual growth and due TO an entanglement of
the accounts. Most of our county treasurers
are farmers or mechanics. They are not

methods of their predecessors. If errors al
Ceady exist in the accounts they are unable
ito detect them, and others easily creep in.
yIhe only report treasurer now makes is to
dhe county commissioners, who are gener-
ally farmers and not accountants. They
merely "check mp" The report is
an abstract of the treasurer's
books and of course il checks with itself 1t
. rs not strange when you carefully consider
. the conditions, that there are so many irreg.
ularitics in our financial affairs. My bill
contemplates, first, a uniform system of
books AT present there Is no uniformity,
and the labor of an examiner would be ex-
ceedingly difficult. The next object is the
appointment of an expert accountant TO OK
anime the books of every treasurer at least
once year, There is nothing in the bill TO
prevent more frequent examination OF the
accounts of Il man who may be careless or
ignorant, or dishonest. With such an exam
inaton it would be well nigh impossible for
the irregularities now SO common TO exist,
unless the treasurer were designedly dishon-
est. Take the case of Merrick county The

loaned out the county funds TO individuals,
but couldn't gather IL in in time for settle

happened with the proposed examination.

IMPAIRED DIGESTION, DISORDERED LIVER;
ADJUSTMENTS. \

Mr.. and Mrs w j. Florence appeared at

! The story makes n heroine of young lady,
| Lucy Robins, who is accused of stealing
| bracelet robbery which has been COM
mitted by her father though the commission
OF the crime, by him, is not so well cstab-
lished as TO lead TO melo-dramatic effects.
This character OF Lucy was admirably por-
traycd by Miss Annie Mayor. As the lover
and unhcsltating supporter. Harold F1-
, ralph who was cssaycd by Archibald Cow
per, was Clcverly represented. Mr. William
Herbert, with but little to do, made a very
successful DR.. Chcttle. AS Lady Clarissn
Fit1ralph, Mrs. r. l.. Davenport was equal
to the requirements, admirably rendering II
character which, the close, oaly, displayed
the more enuoDlng characteristics OF u
womans nature. The other members of
the company satisfactorily sustained t osc
roles essential To the plot
Tho piece is not one IN which Mr. Flor
cnce may shine And yet, he assumes
dual role, that of James Robins and Daniel
Robins.
Florence is both comedian and Il charac-
ter impersOnator In "iioart of Hearts" he
has but a few scenes in which TO display his
wit and humor, and still fewer opportunities
in which TO appear as u dcincatOr of CcCCn-
trio character. Nevertheless, what he does
do, he does well; and yet, in Daniel Robins,

Mrs. Florcnca is known to Omaha thcator

sumcd, in the Mighty Dollar This is TO
be regretted. In that piece, hers is Il char.
acter of vulgar peculiarities. She plays il
well, but cvokcs little sympathy from her
auditors. In Heart of Hearts" She illustrates
a character which is full of comedy possibil-
tiles. Ever" ono of these Mrs. Florcnrc EN-.

she excels her husband. The chasacter is
not rcpulsivc, thoush somewhat Econgruous.
1t is a creation into which Mrs. Florence has
infused new life, and which she could have
maintained in life without the aid of her
wardrobe, which is the marvel of every
woman

An AutOpsy Held.

The remains of Colonel Forbes were
removed to the establishment of Drexel
& Maui, where, last night, an au
topsy was held by Doctors Parker
Mason and Hueston. 1t resulted in the
discovery that the entire brain was de-
ranged; the skull cracked on the left side
from the center of the head to the base OF
the left ear. The brain was liberated and
two abcesses were discovered in the recesses
of the eyes. The physicians stated that the
injury from the start was necessarily fatal.
The manner in which the accident oc-
CURED Is mystery as yet. May Darling,
who was with him at the time stated
TO Coroner DreXel yesterday that
when the accident occurred the horse was on
rum and that in SOME way Forbes fell out
of the carriage, and she having hold of his arm
was pulled out with him. But as this con-
hicts with other statements made earlier, but
little weight is attached to it.
Dr. Parker states that the frontal bone of
the deceased was of unusual thickness and the
brain larger than the average. No arrange
ments have as YET been made for the funeral
the delay being occasioned by awaiting a
reply from his brother IN New York. II he
is not heard from by noon to-day the remains
will be inferred at this place.
