CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Prof. Warren X.
Moorhead delivered an illustrated lee
ture this afternoon at the Field Column
bisn museum on Prehistoric Man in
Ohio. The lecturer spoke of the Hope
we'll group of mounds in Ross county,
Ohio. 1t consists OF 90 mounds. which
have recently yielded valuable archeolog'
ical treasures. Excavations reveal that
the pre- olum bian man was q manu-
facturer OF rough grades of cloth and
copper utensils and carried on trade
with California, Yellowstone park, Lake
Superior and Florida. One pyramid in
Southern Ohio is only 60 feet lower than
the highest of Egyptian construction.
Gravel appears to have been an excel
lent preservative of the human body.
One Uranium was found in which every

separate graveyards were assigned to
men, women and children.

THE DESTITUTE IN NEBRASKA
Shameful Negligence of the
Relief Committee.
Many Carloads of Supplies Un.
distributed.
Railroad Yards in Omaha Full of Con-
tributions. But No One to
Handle Them.

OMAHA, Feb. 3.-A Bee special from
Lincoln says: The Legislature has been
compelled to recognize the complaints
from all parts of the state OF the inactiv.
ity OF the state relief commission to dis
tribute aid to the destitute, and ia exs
pected to take measures at once to re-.
organize the commission. The commits.
sion has made little progress in distrib-
uting food, fuel and clothing The fol-
lowing report Of a committee composed
OF Capt. w. H. Hunter and DR.. s, s.
Sadler OF Alma Nsb.. to the legislature,
is sample of the way the substance
contributed is being lost:
Lincoln, Neb.-Today we visited the
railroad yards and were informed by the
agent thst ~ cars. loaded with supplies
for the destitute, were then in the B. &
NJ. yards and about three carloads
were in the freight depot, be-
sides what was then stored in other
warehouses. We proceeded to build
ing belonging to Buckstatf Bros. There
We found, from statements made by the
party in charge of said building, sixty
carloads of supplies, which the men in
charge said had been there from one to
two weeks. The supplies were com.
posed OF flour, wheat, corn, oats, corn
meal, beans, potatoes, kraut and large
amount of groceries and clothing. The
potatoes, about one carload, we're frozen
hard. The krsut was in barrels. some
of which had burst and were leaking
badly. We were informed that one car
load had been shipped out of this ware-
house on January 30th.
We then visited another warehouse
owned by Kendall 4 Smith. There we
found two carloads of supplies, mostly
clothing, few quarters of fresh beef,
unsalted and packed away with the
other supplies. This lot OF supplies
showed plainly that the proper care and
attention was not being given to them.
We we're informed by the Burlington
and Missouri agent that no more free
billing could be had of his company, but
on visiting the Union Pacific freight
depot we found that company loading
supplies on free billing orders, and that
there was then in possession of the
Union Pacific company one carload Of
supplies on the track in its yards, and
from statements made to US by those in
charge we found " carloads in the hands
of the Burlington and Missouri COM
pany. The parties in charge stated their
company was ready and willing to ship
these supplies whenever ordered to do
30, and with these unprecedented cir
cumstances existing, hundreds of letters
are arriving from the west daily. many
of them written in the most heart-reld-
ing language, asking in the name of God
and suffering humanity that provisions
may speedily reach them and their des-
titute people.

A SOLDIERS FUNERAL.
FIELD MARSHAL CANROBERT OF
FRANCE AT REST.
Imposing Military Displays - DIstiu
guished Army and Navy Officers
As PaIlbearers.

PARIS, Feb. 3.-With state honors the
remains OF Marshal Csnrobsrt, the last
Of the marshals Of France, were today
inferred in the Hotel des Invalides. The
funeral OF the great soldier was made
the occasion OF imposing military dis
plays. Rue d'Marignan, the street on
which the Canrobsrt residence ia situ-
sted, was guarded by sailors and depu-
tstions from various regiments, while
the route to the Hotel des Invalides was
lined with troops of the Paris garrison,
under command OF General Saussier,
military governor of the capital.
The funeral car, which was richly dec.
GRATED, was drown by six horses. The
coffin waz covered with the tri-
color. Generals Billot, Negrier,
lamont and Boisdeffrs and Ad-
miras Duperre and Rieuner were the
pallbearsrs. The band OF the Repub-
lican guard played funeral march. A
salute Of II guns announced the start
ing OF the procession to the Hotel dee
Invalides. The son OF Marshal Cam
robert was the principal mourner. He
walked directly behind the hearse and
was followed by the ministers and a
large number OF generals and officials.
Along the entire route was q dense
crowd, all the members OF which stood
in respectful silence with barred heads
as the funeral car passed slowly along.
The coffin was borne into the church OF
st. Douie and deposited on a lofty
cstsialque.
In the caurch we're representatives OF
President Faure, Queen Victoria and
other sovereigns. Cardinal Richard,
arch bishop of Paris, attended the ser
vices, but the curate Of the parish oele-
brated mass, after which the coffin was
taken to the court OF honor adjoining
the church. Here General Zurinden,
minister of war, delivered an GRAFTON.
He referred to Sebaetopol. where, he
said. the blood shed by two chivairous
adverssries was destined to terminate
the sentiments of mutual esteem that
unite France and Russia today. Gem
eral Zurlinden gave glowing descrip-
ton of Marshal Canrobert's valor and
heroism and asked the army to follow
his example. Upon the conclusion of
his address the troops rendered the
final honors to the dead and the coffin
wac deposited under the chapel. Not a
single jsrring note marred the cere
mOny,

AT FOLSOM PRISON.
Lsgisiatators Visit the Prison and Eva

Lsgislatators Visit the Prison and Evans
and Sontag.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 3.-Nearly all OF
the members and attaches OF the legis-
lsture who remained in Sacramento
over Sunday today accepted the hospi-
tally of the citizens of Folso m, who
provided Especial train and paid all the
expenses of an excursion to their town
and to the Folsom prison.
Over 400 people. large number OF
whom were ladies. joined the party. The
whole party, men and women alike.
were admitted to all parts of the prison,
where they were allowed unusual free
dom. The crowd was not long in To-
eating the cells of Evans and Sontag,
who were peeped upon through the
small holes in their cell doors and asked
all manner of senseless questions.
sontsg appeared rather to enjoy his
unenviable notoriety. Evans, however,
refused to talk and turned his back upon
the curious throng.
The great dam above the prison and
the wonderful water power were also
inspected. After a cold lunch had been
served in the prison to all, the party
was taken to the town OF Folsom, where
another hour was spent.

A HUNDRED LIVES LOST
DETAILS OF THE BURNING OF
FERRY TERCIERA.
Attempt of the Captain of Another
Vessel to Save Life Prevented
by Passengers.

Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 6.-Via New
York, Feb. 3.-Following are the details
of the burning of the ferry boat Terciera
and the loss of over hundred lives, a
brief account of which was cabled to
the Associated Press at the time Of the
disaster:
The Terciers, with over 800 passen-
gers, left the Rio side Of the bay al
about p. m. San Domingo was one
of the points of disem barcstion, where
it landed perhaps 200 passengers and
received on board SO others.
Soon after backing out OF the dock at
San Domingo and turning toward Praia
Grsnde, point on the Nictheroy side,
1t was discovered that the Terciera was
on fire and burning rapidly.
At the time the ferry boat Quinta left
Prsis Grsnde in the direction of San
Domingo having aboard a large number
OF passengers. The alarm seems to have
been given first from aboard the Quinsa
by means of her steam whistle. The
master pilot of the Quinta steamed
quite Close to the Terciers, now almost
entirely ungovernAble. He intended to
run alongside near enough to save the
passengers. who were in danger of being
burned. But when nearly in striking
distance of the burning wreck he was
prevented by the cowsrdice of the pas.
sengers of the Quints, who. in a large
crowd, went to the pilot house and with
drawn revolvers compelled him to aban-
don the people on the burning boat, who
were thus allowed to burn to death or
throw themselves into the bay.
A large number OF launches and other
craft hastened from the Rio side and at
tempted to save the drowning men,
women and children. and many were
thus rescued, but over a hundred livss
were unnecessarily lost.

MISTAKE AND A COINCIDENCE
CALIFORNIA; Little Baroness Not
ON the Elbe.
Brunson and His Titled Wife Are
Safe.
Two Passengers on the Inflated Steam
or Bore Similar Names and
Were Drowned.
spacial to THE HERALD.

Special to THE HERALD.
New YORK, Feb. "a mistake in
the cablsd passenger lists and a mos,
remarkable coincidence in names have
been made. II seems that ]. M. Brun-
son of Oakland, CAL. who married the
little baroness, Ida Won Barnekew, and his
wife were not lost on the ill-fated Elbe.
From information received here it is now
almost certain that the lost passengers
are not the Brunsons OF California, and
this will undoubtedly be shown when
the mail passenger lists arrive on Satur-
day.
The couple lost on the steamer Elbe
were j. M. Brunsen OF Bridgeport,
Conn, and his sister Ida. A strange
fact is that the only difference in names
ia in the spelling of last sy liable of the
family name. The Bridgeport man
spells il "Brunsen." and the California
man spells his name "Brunson.
Still stranger ia the fact that Connec-
ticut Brunsen's sister should be named
Ida, while the little Baroness Won Barr

in the identity of the two is very easy
under the most unusual coincidence OF
names. both as regards initials and the
name OF the sister Of one and the wife
Of the other.
The following dispatch settles the case
almost positively, though it is not likely
the lost passengers were Caliiornis
Brunsons, even ii the message from
Bridgeport did not seem so clear.
BRIDe SPORT, Feb. 3.-One of the pas.
ssngszs lost in the Elbe disaster was
J. III. Brunsen, employed by McElroy
Brothers of this city. Brunsen recently
went to his native place on leave OF
absence. A letter received by McElroy
Brothers today announced that he would
sail on the Elbe, accompanied by nil
sister, whom he was bringing to thil
country.
By the passenger lists and details by
mail that will arrive on Saturday thu
case will be proved.
