BURIED AGAIN.
The Body of jefferson Davis Given Final
Resting Place at Richmond.


RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-The Jeffer-
son Davis funeral train arrived here
yesterday morning and was saluted
by artillery, the firing continuing until
the body rested in the capitol. From
the depot the casket was escorted by
the L. E. Lee camp of the First Vir-
ginia regiment, the march up the hill
and through the capitol grounds in the
early morning hour being most impress
sive.
As was expected would be the case,
flowers were strewn along the route in
front of the catafalque and the sight
indeed was pretty one. Women and
little children performed a large part
of this feature of the parade. The bells
of the town were tolled while the pro-
cession was in progress
The display of veterans was I'M
doubtedly much greater than at the
unwilling of the Lee monument, and
never since the war have so many con-
federate soldiers been seen in one body
in Richmond.
Many distinguished men were in the
procession, and after the ceremonies of
laying the body in the tomb at Holly
wood cemetery, the column moved to
Gettysburg hill and decorated the
graves of the confederate dead.

CLAM0R0US CLAIMANTS.
A Rush to Gobble Up the Choctaw
Funds.
1t Is About As Bad As a Run Upon Shaky
Bank - Payment Suspended
Gold Reserve Slowly Melt
ing Away.
Hungry Claimants.


WASHINGTON, June Sit is not i'm.
possible that an unpleasant scandal
may develop within a few days in con-
nection with the payment of SS,OOO,OOC
to the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian
nations, as authorized by a clause in
the Indian appropriation bill of the
Fifty-frst congress.
When President Cleveland, a few
days ago, approved and accepted the
deeds, nothing remained to be done
but to put the warrant for the payment
of the money through the routine chan
nels at the treasury department In
stantly, as if by magic, the lawyers,
lots by lots, strikers and leeches of all
sorts congregated in Washington.
Everything started out smoothly, and
when the treasury department closed
Saturday, there was every indication
that the vultures would be able to seize
their prey, as Secretary Carlisle, just
before leaving the city, ordered the 81,
900, 900 warrant to be issued.
The warrant was drawn by Chief
MacLennan and sent to the Office of the
first comptroller of the treasury, to be
paid to the proper representative of the
Indians. But the warrant was not de-
livered, and its payment has again
suspended. As soon as the treasury
doors were opened the chief benefciar-
les of the big claim were in the treas
ury corridors and the others were
waiting at convenient points within
hailing distance outside
In addition to the direct benefciarieS
there were subcontractors in the per-
sons of boarding house keepers and
small merchants of various kinds, who
had liens upon the cash in the shape of
due bills. The entire crowd were thun-
derstruck when the word came out that
payment had been suspended for a
day or twountil the return Of Secretary
Carlisle"
1t was difficult, indeed, for the law
yers and lobbyists to understand this,
because it was Secretary Carlisle him
self who gave the order for the pay
ment of the warrant. They soon
learned, however, that Acting Secretary
Hamlin is the man who, notwithstand-
ing his chiefs order, gave orders that
the warrant should remain upon the
first comptroller's desk for a day or
two.
Investigation developed the fact that
Mr.. Hamlin took this action because of
his knowledge that President Cleve-
land is now engaged in investigating
the charge that this vast sum of money
has been heavily discounted to the law
yers, lobbyists, etc; that if it is turned
over to the persons now authorized to
receive it there will be little left for
the Indians who sold the lands.

Fatalities at Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb., June 5.-This city re-
ceived dual visitation from the ele-
ments Saturday evening. All day rain
had fallen intermittently, the storm
blowing from the east. Shortly before
Z o'clock the wind chopped about to
the north and in few moments the
city was submerged by one of the most
DISASTROUS floods ever experienced. Rain
was accompanied by heavy electrical
display and high wind.
And in the midst of the food came a
fire that entailed a loss of nearly a
quarter of million, with the addi-
tional horror of four deaths and many
persons injured. The dead now known
are: George Coulter, b. j. Morris,
Cox, - Morrissey. All of these are
iremen.
When the storm was at its height,
flames burst from the fifth story of the
building occupied by the Shiverick Fur
niture Co., on Farnum street. In re-
Spouse to the general alarm all the COM
panies of the city department respond
ed, but the fire was beyond control 1t
entailed a loss of fully 100000.
West of the Shiverick building was a
two-story structure, occupied by Ed
Maurer's saloon and restaurant. On
top of this building six firemen had
gathered that they might better fight
the flames. While they were there the
west wall of the Shiverick block fell
outward.
Two of the fremen heard the cry of
horror from the crowd and leaped from
the building, only to be buried by
bricks on the sidewalk. They were
quickly rescued from their perilous pre-
dicament. The falling walls crushed
the two story building like an egg shell
and the fonr fremen on the roof were
carried down to an awful death.
