RESIGNATION OF MR. PECK.
Why the Talented Attorney
Left the Santa Fe
System.
Made the Pack-HorSe by Every
Official Who Did Not Know
His Duty.

TOPEKA, KANs., Aug. 26.-United States
Judge Henry Caldwell in an interview to-
day explains why George R. Peck resigned
the Santa Fe general solicitorshlp. He
said:
.The reason Mr.. Peck resigned was be-
cause, he being thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the system, which he has
been with SO long, every one connected
with the company or receivers went to Peck
when he wanted anything and he was over
worked, and it was only question OF
time when he would break down. He was
made the pack-horse of every one con-
nected in any way with the operation of
the system and he could not stand it. That
was all. He would have broken down if
he continued in the position.
"Then, too, the general solicitor of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul had died,
and the president was determined to get
Peck. He went to him and made an offer
which Mr.. Peck could not refuse. He was
probably offered more than the Santa Fe
will ever be able to pay him under any cir
cumstances. 1 do not know, however,
what his salary is to be. / am not sur
prised that Mr.. Peck accepted the posi-
ton. The Milwaukee is a solvent COM
pany, which is having no trouble to pay
its operating expenses; the mileage is
much less than that of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, and the road is new to Mr.. Peck, and
his work will be very much lighter.
''There has never been any disagreement
between Mr.. Peck and the receivers. On
the other hand, there is not single man
now connected with the system. or who
expects to be, that does not regret the loss
of Mr. Peck. The relations have been
always the most cordial, and I would not
agree to accept Mr.. Peck's resignation
until he promised that he would look after
the affairs of the company until its busi-
ness is wound up and is taken out of the
hands of the receivers

ditions that City Counsellor McDougal
gave notice that the contract was Cancelled.
The deal was then made with the National
Water-works Company, whereby the city
obtained the plant and $4,000 more for
the bonds than was offered by the syndi-
cate.
The Boston syndicate will probably sue
the city in the Federal Court for from
$500, 900 to $500, 900, the profit it would have
realized if it had obtained, the bonds.
The claim will be made that the city failed
to tender the bonds before canceling the
agreement to sell them. 1t will also be
urged that the bonds were in the custody
of the court and that the syndicate was
ready to pay them as soon as the city was
ready to deliver them. R. NJ. Snyder OF
this city, who sold the original issue OF
$1,000. 900 water-works bonds and who con-
Quoted the recent negotiations for the
Boston syndicate is much chagrined over
that the syndicate has been unfairly
treated.

DROWNED IN THE RIVER.
Sad Fate of a Singer and His
Lady Friend in Ne
braSka.
The Couple Attracted Much Atten-
ton by Their Songs While
Out Rowing.

NORTH FORK, NEBR., Aug. 26.-The
North Fork of Elkhorn River claimed two
victims last night. A. j. Gabler, of Waco,
Tex, who had been travelling about the
State as singer and banjo-performer for his
brother, who was selling electric belts and
appliances on the streets, together with a
Mrs. Ada Vennum, whose parents reside at
Blue Springs, Nebr., took boat at the foot
OF First street and rowed to the Methodist
camp-meeting grounds.
They arrived there safely, but while row.
ing back to the city after services their
boat in some way not known upset and
both were drowned. No one witnessed the
accident.
The bodies were not recovered until 10
o'clock this morning, at which time they
were found within six feet of each other
near the river bank. Some parties return
ing from the campground last night heard
the singing on the river and stopped to
listen, little thinking how soon the singers
would be called upon to face that judg-
ment regarding which they sang so well.

composed of a dozen negroes took Harri-
son Lewis (colored) from Jail here last
night and hanged him to tree in the
courthouse yard. They attacked the Jail
and demanded the keys of Jailer Smith,
who having been warned that they were
coming, escaped and took the keys with
him. The mob, nothing daunted, repaired
to the neighboring blacksmith-shop, pro-
cured a sledge-hammer and other tools
and began battering down the doors. It
took three hours hard work to, reach the
victim, but the determination of the mob
never wavered.
Promptly at o'clock this morning the
prisoner was taken out and hanged. No
resistance was offered.
The crime for which Lewis was lyrched
was a most cowardly murder. Last Friday
night he went to the house of Joe Brooks,
also colored, and told him that he was
looking for the man who had been too in
innate with his wife. BROOKS told him the
man was not there, whereupon Lewis fired
upon Brooks with shotgun, killing him
instantly.

SIOUX CITY, iowa, Aug. 26-Hazel
Hammond, aged is, was shot through the
head at o'clock this morning by Max
Noak, laborer from Marcus, Iowa. The
shooting occurred in disorderly house Oh
Pearl street,
When Noak saw his victim fall he put a
ball through his own head, inficting in
slant death. A lamp which had been over
turned set fire to the furniture, and the
fremen, when they entered, were the first
TO discover the tragedy.
The girl was not dead, although not yet
able to make any statement. Noak was
not identified until this afternoon. He
had been in town two weeks. It has been
learned almost certainly that the Ham
mond woman was Noak's wife; that he
had been endeavoring to induce her to re-
turn to him, and that her refusal so enraged
him that he fire d..

right name is said to be, is reported to have
come from Central City, Nebr., where her
parents are alleged to live. 1t is reported

brother and by others that he was her hus-
band. Noak formerly worked at Grand

STRUCK By Il STEAMER.

Had a Narr0tU Escape.

Il
Had a Narr0tc Escape.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 26.-Broker
Robert W. Inman and three guests on his
centerboard sloop yacht Adelaide had a
narrow escape from drowning tonight.
The yacht was run into off Nortons
Point by the iron steamboat Per-
seus with such force as to throw
all those on deck into the water. The
Perseus left Coney Island at $40 O'Clock,
and rounded the point twenty minutes
later. The passengers noticed the yacht
right ahead. The Adelaide showed no
lights, it is said, although it was getting
dark. Five or six persons could be
seen on deck. Suddenly she turned and
ran right across the bows of the
steamer. There was not room for such a
maneuver and the PROV of the Perseus
struck her slanting blow amidship. The
Adelaide careened and those on deck were
thrown into the water. Then the yacht
righted and moved on out OF the way just
as badly frightened man, the cook, ap-
peared in the door of the cabin. There
was panic on the Perseus.
Then over the side of the steamer came
man. It was Mate Herbert Dorm of the
Adelaide. He had jumped and caught
hold of the steamer just at the point OF
collision. As soon as he had got aboard he
rushed aft and began tugging at the
hawser, which was floating behind. Then
it was seen that there was woman cling
ing to it. Others went to her assistance
and she was soon on board. She was one
of the guests of Mr. Inman.
In the meantime the Perseus had been
brought to and lifeboat lowered. 1t was
not needed, as schooner, seeing the
accident, had put out and picked up Mr..
Inman and the other man and woman
who had been thrown into the water.
Examination showed that the Adelaide
had not been seriously injured. The
names of those on the yacht, except that
of the owner, were not discovered.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 26.-W. w.
Kettle Of Washington, D. c., shot and in
stantly killed himself at Hotel Wiley, on
Sixth street, at 1866 this morning. Mr..
Kettle was probably 3Oyears of age. Little
is known about him. It is believed that
he was connected with the War Depart
ment at Washington.
On Saturday morning last Colonel Ed
ward Frey, clerk in the paymaster-gen-
erals office, called at the Record pension
division. He explained that Kettle was to
have been married last week and failed to
appear. but vouchsafed no details.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug 26.-This
afternoon some of the details preceding
kittle's disappearance were learned at his
boarding house. Here he formed the ac-
quaintance of Miss Wvlie, the 20-year-old
daughter of the landlord. Kittle was al
most constant in his attention to the
young lady from the first. and they were
engaged to be married. The wedding day
was fixed for last Saturday, all arrange
ments having been made to have the cere-
nony performed that day.
Dir. Little surprised his sweetheart Fri
day night by telling her that the wedding
would have to be postponed for short
time, because he was broken down in
health and had obtained a seven days
leave of absence from the office and in
tended going away for short time to try
and recuperate. The young lady protested
at first. but seeing her entreaties were with
out effect. she reluctantly consented TO the
proposed trip. He left Washington Satur-
day night, going direct to Pittsburg, and
the sad news of his suicide in that city was
the first word that Miss Wylie has received
of him since his departure.
