THE ROCK ISLAND DISASTER

The Coroner's Inquest-A Suspicious Char
acter Arrested-PossIbly Twelve Killed
Killed.
LINCOLN, Neb. Aug. 12.-The coroner's
inouest on the bodies of the eleven VIC
tins of Thursday nights railroad dis
aster began yesterday and continued
until late last night, when an adjourn
ment was taken until 10 o'clock Mon
day morning. But three witnesses
were examined, their testimony being
very complete and substantially the
same as already recited in the United
Press dispatches. The cause OF the
wreck formed new theme which will
be gone into very thoroughly.
The chief interest yesterday in con-
nection with the disaster centered in
the arrest of George Davis, a negro
who is charged with no less crime
than being the author of the catas
trophe. He was captured late Frida.
night by City Detective Malone, ant
.ircumstantial evidence is strongl.
against him. The police declare tina
there can be no possibility of thei
being mistaken.
Davis tells conflicting stories, an
has a bad record. A rumor circulate
tonight that he has made confessio
cannot be confirmed. 1t has been def
nitely ascertained that the list OF dea
numbers eleven, with the possibility
twelve.

wagner's Shipwreck.

Richard Wagner, the great German
composer, once put to quick and excel
lent account an experiment of his own
in a shipwreck. When he was young
man, very poor and struggling for fame,
he boarded sailing ship, on the coast
of Denmark, that was bound for an
English port. Out at sea terrible
storm came up, the vessel was friven
far out Of her course, and on the wild
shores of Norway went to pieces on
rock, young Wagner barely escaping
with his life. A few months later, in
his cold, bare garret in Paris, Wagner
composed one Of the greatest OF his
operas, "The Flying Dutchman," thu
wonderful music of which is full O
sound of winds and waves, OF thu
thunder, and the roar of the surf enc
the cries of drowning men, all recolieo
tions of that most dreadful experience
Of his life. Perhaps in no other music

Weather and Crops.

During the past week the tempeiA'
ture and sunshine have been efficient in
sll portions OF the State. The rains in
the northern districts were seasonable
In amount and beneficial, but in the
central and southern counties too much
fell, affecting crops more unfavorably
than otherwise, although in places the
rains will be OF benefit in filling out
ears Of late corn. Crop prospects in
Northern Mississippi are at their best.
Cotton and corn are laidby. The former
crop is beautifully fruited and gives
every promise of large yield. Very
little shedding is reported and no
worms. Early corn is showing only fair
yields, but the late corn will yield
bountifully, Judging from present indi'
cations. Nice rains during the week
have favored the planting Of turnips
the second potato crop and fall gardens
Very little hay has been saved yet, bu
dry weather little later on will insure
a good hay harvest In the central ant
southern portions Of the State the heav!
rains have been the only source of com
plant. Potatoes and pcas are looking
we'll, and fall gardens, cabbage and sec
ond crop Of Irish potatoes are beinI
planted.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
Tho Special Warrants.

jackson, Aug. 10.-There is noth'hg
new in the Especial warrant" case. Gov
Stone has been back for several days.
but aside from . social visit Special om'
Ger Burns has not called on him. Az
that time nothing whatever was said
about the warrants. Prior to the gov
ernor's return it was understood ofhcer
Burns was waiting here specially to see
him, and that he would personally de-
mand all of the unsigned warrants he
was informed, however, soon after reach''
! ing here by Auditor Stone that all OF the
warrants had been signed and sealed.
This fact and the further fact that the
case has assumed an entirely different
phase since Mr.. Burns left Washington,
owing to Mr.. Carlisle having placed the
matter in the hands Of the st. Louis
district attorney, has in all probability
Aaused Haxen to change his mind about
demanding the warrants. It's believed
that Mr.. Burns is still looking up in
stances where the bills have passed as
money, SO as to strengthen the conten'
tion Of the government as to their simi'
larity when the case is called for trial.
Special Officer Burns is an exceedingly
pleasant gentleman and has made fine
impression ON all here with whom he hal
tome in contact He is very pruden
and has done so little talking that hi
mission here can only be conjectrred
There is no question but he was sert IL
tho first instance to demand the un
signed warrants, but, az stated, ovini
!. to subsequent developments since hi
. leaving Washington all that has bee
changed, and he is evidently workin
!: under later instructions.

Important Tax Suit.

jackson, Aug. 1o.-ThursdAy leu-
n,ents commenced before Judge j. b.
Chrisman in the case OF Writ Adams,
State revenue agent, VS.. the Illinois
Central and Mississippi Valley Railroad
Companies. 1t is an important case, and
involves at least 100000 of taxes claim
ed to be due the State and counties by
the Louisville, New Orleans Il Texas
Railroad, merged into and now a part OF
the Mississippi Valley Railroad system.
The railroad commission assessed the
Louisville, New Orleans & Texas Rail-
road for the taxes OF 1892, bat the road
refused to pay, claiming exemption from
taxation. 1t is for both the ad valorenl
and privilege taxes of this year that the
suit is brought. The points are similar
to those in the case Of the Georgia Pa
ci6c Railroad Company, decided in favo
Of the revenue agent. 1t is claimed OF
the part of the State that when the roat
was purchased by the Illinois Central
lost the exemption that it unluestion
ably had before that period. The rail
road company denies that the lllinoi
Central Railroad purchased the Louis
, Vile, New Orleans & Texas Railroad a
: matter Of fact; that the transactio
was only stock purchase, and that tn
two corporations are kept separate an
D distinct. The question, 1t seems, wi
hinge on the fact whether or not tt
: transaction was bona fide purchase
: the former road by the Illinois Centra
1t is very important case, and involv
not only the taxes Of 1892, amountin
as stated, to upward Of slo0, 900, but al
