ton of manager of the same, which he
was obliged to decline.
At the reorganization of the Benning-
ton and Rutland Railway, in 1877, he
was elected director, and since that
time has had general oversight of il, and
has labored hard to place it in the first
class condition that it now is in.
Although not a church member, he at
tended Zion Episcopal church in his own
village and gave generously for its sup
port. He was always one of the first in
promoting everything that tended to i'm
prove the condition of his. fellOwmen,
and what he did was cheerfully and
pleasantly done.
June End, 1863, he was married to
Helen NJ. Clark, daughter of the late A.
&. Clark, of Manchester Centre. One
child, daughter, has been born to them,
who, with the mother survives him 4;
sympathized with by many friends. His
disease was diabetes, from which he has
suffered for several years. Last fall he
went to the Pine Woods of Michigan in
the hopes that this disease, as well as
the lung difficulty that troubled him,
might be checked, but no lasting good
came of it. Since his return he has grad
ually failed until the end came, which
was peaceful and easy.
Such is the record OF an active and
busy life, one that has been passed in an
intimate contact for good with his fell
lowmen, and one whose memory will be
kept green in the hearts of those who
knew and respected him. 1t is an i'm
perfect tribute to the memory of friend
of years, one who now rests from his la
bors, but whose good deeds will live
after him, for

NEBRASKA JUSTICE.
some Queer Methods for Getting at
1.-THE Barrett Scott and HOltOn
Ranch Lynchings.

Omaha, Neb., Mch. 20. - Attorney
Churchill and the attorneys for the de-
Tense have reached an agreement and all
the prisoners will be turned over to
Sheriff Standiford, of Boyd county. They
will be placed under bonds of $4,000
each to appear before the district court
at Butte, Neb., to stand trial for the MUIR
der of Scott. 1t was agreed in the con-
ference that the prisoners would waive
examination and the amount of the bond
was also agreed upon.
Attorney General Churchill has gone to
Keyapapa county to look after the lynch
ing of Mrs. Holton, near Brocksburg.
THE HoL1oN RANCH AFFAIR.
Omaha.A special to the Bee from
Springview says: An attempt was made
yesterday at the Holton ranch to force
confession from Hunt, who is under ar
rest for lynching Mrs. Holton. While
the preliminary hearing of Hunt and Mil
Ter was in progress, County Attorney Lear
took Hunt into room, apparently for
private conference. just after they en-
tered the room there were dozen revol-
yer shots heard outside, mingled with
shouts and curses. Lear jumped and ran,
locking the door of the room and leaving
Hunt alone. In moment Lear returned
and announced that vigilants had killed
Miller and were now hunting for Hunt.
Hunt was almost frightened to death but
the expected confession was not forth
coming. He swore if the vigiants had
killed Miller they had slain an innocent
man. Officers are not satisfied they have
the right men aud are still on the lookout
for the murderers.

Detroit, Mich, Mch. 22.-General Philip
st. George Cook died at his homo in this
city yesterday. General Cook was a ma
tive of Virginia and was IS years of age.
His career has been identified with the
army since his admission to West Point,
when only IA years of age. He was also
a member of the bar of West Virginia
and has written several interesting works,
among which are volumes on cavalry
tactics, "Scenes and adventures in the
army" and "New Mexico and California"
General Cook has seen services in every
field where American valor has been dis
played for fifty-seven years. In the
Blackhawk war he was leading officer.
He was in high command in the conq nest
of California and New Mexico. He dis
persed the Lipans in 1858, and later led a
raid against the Apaches. He was com
mander of the department of Utah when
the rebellion broke ont in that land.
Upon the breaking out of the rebellion,
unlike most southern officers, including
his son, and his famous son-in-law, Gen.
j. e. B. Stuart, he cast his sword for the
Union. He became commander of the
cavalry VI tuo uTLDy VI tuo LOuOulhC, anu
participated in all the important events
of the peninsula campaign, at Gaines Mill
directly opposing his son-in.law. He after
ward superintended the recruiting service,
and in 1866 took the department of the
Platte. He was breveted major general
for his splendid service in the war. In
1874 he was retired, after forty-six years
of continuous service, with the rank OF
brigadier general. He has lived in
Detroit ever since.

WAGON TIRES.
some Facts Official Relating to a
subject OF General Interest.

Washington, Mch. 22.-The agricultural
department has issued bulletin com.
piled by Roy Stone, special agent in
charge of road inquiry, containing in
formation concerning the use of wide
tires on wagon wheels. Mr.. Stone re-
CARDS it of special Importance in the
maintenance of public highways that
the vehicles used on them shall have tires
of greater width than are now in general
use. Extracts from the state laws re-
speoting the width of tires to be used on
vehicles are given, some of which offer a
rebate of a portion of the highway tax on
wagon rims or tires not less than and
81 inches wide. Ohio makes it unlawful
to transport over mecadamized, gravel
or stone roads in any vehicle having tire
of less than three inches in width, bur-
den of more than 1000 pounds. In
diana has law against hauling on wet
gravel roads of over 1000 pounds in a
narrow tired wagon or over $500 pounds
on broad tired wagon.
Kentucky makes distinction in favor
of broad tired wagons in fixing toll rates.
The results of experiments with wide
tires in various states are also given.
The bulletin, in concluding, prints ex-
tracts from the consular report concern
ing the width of tires prescribed in var
ious foreign countries. In France every
freighting cart is said to be road maker.
Their tires are from three to ten inches
in width, usually from four to SIX inches.
The German law prescribes that wagons
for heavy loads such as coal, brick, earth
and stone must have width of tire at
least four inches. Switzerland requires
wagons to be provided with wheels hav-
ing tires of width proportionate to the
largest loads admissible.

EVIDENCES OF REBELLION.
The Spanish Authorities in Cuba Try
ing to Keep the Truth from
the Natives.

Tampa, Fla, Mch. 22.-The incoming
passengers by the latest boat from Hav-
ana report that the sympathlzers of the
Cuban rebellion arrested yesterday dur
ing the disturbances, have been released
from Havana prisons. They are watched
and should they be re-arrested will be
confined at Matanzas. The object is to
clear the prisons of Havana 80 no evil
dences of rebellion shall be observed by
visitors. Gen. Sanguilla, the revolution
ist leader in the Havana district, who was
arrested before the uprising took place,
is said to have collected $26,500 Thurs
day night preceding his arrest.
A passenger just arrived says the in
surrectionists have discovered that San
guilla for about eight years has been re-
ceiving 5000 per month from the Spanish
government to keep it advised of plots
against the government by Cubans.

Cleveland's "Present."

San Francisco, Mch. 22.-The Honolulu
Advertiser, which has just arrived here,
clears up a mystery which has long puz-
zled officials here as to an entry in ex-
Queen Liliuokalani's diary, stating that
on the day specified President Clevsland's
present had been received by her. It was
at once denied here that the president had
ever sent present to the ex-queen. Tho
Advertiser now explains that Mrs. Domi-
mis- received copy of the report of the
board Of public works at Chicago for the
year 1898. Some one had taken the trouble
to cover it handsomely in cloth, and had
also secured the personal cards of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr. Gresham. The cards,
the paper says, were placed inside the
volume with a suitable statement of re-
gard in forwarding it. The ex-queen did
not doubt the genuineness of the present,
it seems, nor suspect that some practical
Joker had been at work, and accordingly
made the entry in her diary.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Miss Mary Delaney, of Milwaukee, was
arrested at the Elsmere hotel to-day,
charged with having attempted to fire St.
Dominic's and st. Patrick's cathedrals
yesterday with kerosene and paper. She
answers to the description of the tall
woman dressed in black seen in both
churches. She is about 35 years old and
came here to lecture. She claims to be
Catholic and to have spent much of her
life as hospital attendant in Milwaukee.
Her sanity is questioned.
AMERICAN INTERESTS IN CUBA.
There is feeling in some quarters that,
kept separate from other matters and
considered upon its own merits, the pro-
position to buy Cuba would develop
great strength in this country. The buai.
ness relations of the lower Atlantic coast
with the islands are intimate and for
some years have been profitable, while
New York and Philadelphia have gradu-
ally been increasing their sales to the
Cubans. The commercial opportunity
is regarded as exceptionally good. Ameri-
can capital has been making its way
there and many valuable investments are
reported. The complaint, however, is on
the part of the natives ana the American
residents, that the Spanish rule is op-
pressive and serves to retard progress,
and it is for this reason that union with
this country is so earnestly desired. But
if the Cuban proposition should become
connected with Hawaii, or in any way
with the Nicaragua coast, some of its
friends will despair of seeing it poll it's
strength. An excuse, they think, would
be given to mon timid about the foreign
policy of the government, to hold back,
upon the plea that the project in its en-
tirety was too big, and would involve the
United States too deeply at one time.
collision take place between congress
and the executive over Hawaii, and they
want that matter disposed of before Cuba
is brought forward.
It is stated by those entitled to be
heard that Spain would rather part with
Cuba to any other country than to tho
United States. Officials in Madrid have
been led to believe that all the lnsurrec-
tions on the islands have been planned in
this country and pushed to the very verge
of an open infraction of international
law. They look upon Mobile, New
Orleans and Key West, on the lower
coast, and on New York, Philadelphia,
and even Boston, on the upper coast as
resorts of Cuban plotters, where Ameri-
can assistance and sympathy are freely
extended. The purpose of all this, as
they believe, is to force Spain to part
with Cuba. 1t is, in their eyes, Yankee
method of clearing" the market for
Cuban soil by helping to foment trouble
oa the island and making it expensive
for Spain to maintain her authority there.
