JERSEY CITY, Feb. % On a train that
left here this mornIng were two young and
pretty girls. accompanied by an old lady,
whose wrinkles and decrepit movements be-
girls we're in tears, but the old lady sat up
right in the seat of the emigrant train and
stared vacantly out of the window. The
old lady was Mrs Kenan Bruce. the girls
her daughters, May and Judith. The
father, and Albert Merritt, the sweetheart
Of Judith, had gone to Hastings, Neb.
where they had bought land, and cabled to
the family to come over.
When the steamship stopped at Queens =
town Mrs. Bruce was i'll, and during her ILL
ness became delirious Her constant cry
was that her husband was dead, and in her
delirium she said that she saw him lying
alone in big field with no one near
On the same day Kenan Bruce was riding
young horse acress the farm. How it
happened no one will probably ever know,
but while his wife. on the big steamship at
Queenstown, was declaring in her delirium
that her husband was dead, the young horse
came rushing madly toward the Nebraska
farm house without his rider.
Yesterday the Berlin's Storage passen-
gers were landed, and when Mrs Bruce had
passed the registry at the barge Office she
was handed two kilograms The first one
read: "Kenan was thrown from his horse
and killed; come on at once" They had
railroad tickets and all the money neces-
sary, and went over to the depot They
however, missed the train and were forced
to wait until this morning During the
long wait Judith caught sight of the second
telegram, which they had neglected to open.
The girl quietly took the telegram, and
standing up to be nearer the light, calmly
opened the yellow envelope. 1t seemed less
than half minute before she was lying
senseless on the floor of the waiting room,
with the yellow paper tightly clenched in
her hand. When the grasp had been loos>
ened, TIM telegram was straightened out
and read. 1t was as follows: ALBERT Mer-
rift died of heart disease last night. Don't
delay. Come on" signed by man of whom
both Mr.. Bruce and Merritt had often
written as one of their best friends in Ne
braska.

A USEFUL OFFICER ON PARADE
But when Indians Were Around Cap
tain Cat1ey's Heart Failed.

OMAHA, March 19.-The first witness
called in the court-martial of Captain Cat
ley this morning was General Wheaton.
He testified that Galley did not accom-
pany the command into the held from
Pine Ridge, and witness did not believe
him capable of commanding under fire.
The captain had been once court-martialed
for cowa-dice in the face of Indians in
Idaho, and found guilty, but the finding
of the court was reversed by President
Hayes and Galley reinstated. The ac-
cused cross-examined General Wheaton
and asked him if he (Wheaton) had not
been once court-martialed. After objec-
tons and a lively wrangle, General
Wheaton replied that he had never been
arrested and tried. Captain Galley then
asked the court to send for witnesses by
which he said he could impeach General
Whcaton's testimony and show that they
would not believe him under oath, but the
court refused to comply with the request.
Lieutenant Turner testified that the officers
of the Second regiment believed Galley un-
reliable and incapable of commanding the
company off the parade grounds. Ad-
journed until tomorrow.
