BODIES RECOVERED.
Remains of the Men Smothered in
the Cleveland Tunnel Taken Out

Cleveland, July 15.-The bodies of the
ten remaining victims of the water
works tunnel disaster were found by a
rescuing party today. The bodies were
blown back a few feet from the face
of the drive by the explosion and were
but slightly burned. The explosion had
blown down a portion of the unbricked
roof of the tunnel, the damage however
being slight. The bodies were brought
to the shore end, about 5000 feet from
the tunnel head in a hand car. The
scene when they arrived at the surface
where an enormous crowd, among
whom were many relatives and friends
of the victims, had gathered, was in
describabIe. The large force of police
had all it could do to control the almost
frantic people.

auxiliary cruiser Harvard having on
board ZOOS Spanish prisoners arrived
in Portsmouth harbor this morning The
port physician boarded the vessel and

surance Commissioner Webb McNan is
again figure in the federal court.
Last night Judge Foster granted an
injunction restraining McNan from
carrying out the order made some days
ago revoking the license of the Con-
necticut Fire Insurance company to do
business in Kansas. The application
for the injunction was made by Judge
Horton as attorney for the company
The hearing of the application was set
for September 8.
Commissioner AIcNalI revoked the
license of the company because of its
refusal to pay for an examination by
E. W. Tatman and D. o. McCray. The
examination was ordered because of the
failure of the company to pay a loss in
full that was shown to be total loss
In the application the insurance COM
pany alleges that the examination was
not ordered in good faith by Commits
sfoner McNau, but was for the pur-
pose of procuring money for his own
benefit.

Troops at Camp Thomas Anx-

Rico.

Chiekamauga Park, Tenn, July IS
The departure of Gen. Brooke for
Washington, there to make arrange
ments for the expedition into Porto
Rico, is the main subject of interest at
Camp Thomas today. The men of the
regiments in the first corps are await
ing the outcome of the general strike
with especial interest on account of the
fact that they will accompany him on
the Porto Rican invasion. The first
corps is ready to move at any time.
The weather is again unfavOrab1e for
steady work today. Frequent showers
interfere with the drills and the men
are kept in camp the greater portion of
the time.
Fifteen car loads of suppIies-an en-
tire train-are being unloaded at the
camp today. The amount of supplies
now on hand is enormous, but more
arrive daily
Since the soldiers have been encamp-
ed here no less than from 50 000, 900 to
IS, 600 900 worth of quartermaSters sup
plies have been issued the various COM
mands OF Captain Mccarthy. This does
not include the enormous amount of
clothing and equipment handled through
the Office of Captain Zalinski in charge
Of these supplies as a separate depart
ment of the quartermaster depart
ment. The returns of Captain McCar-
thys Office will be the largest to go to
the war department since the civil war.
From official figures furnished by the
quartermaster, it is seen that at least
$1,000 900 worth of stock has been han
died since the mobilization of General
BrOOke'S army.
According to statistics in Captain Nc
CarthyS office there are now 10000 head
OF STOCK scattered over the great military
camp. There are now two regiments of
cavalry, two extra troops of cavalry and
ABOUT 50 batteries OF artillery, and several
thousand horses are attached to the com
mandS, while the remainder are used in
aInouIance trains and officers mounts.
captain Mccarthy estimates that the
mules and horses are about equally d.
Vided as to number. This stock consumes
an enormous amount of forage in month
much more than could be furnished in

days show that not less than three and a
half million pounds of oats and four and

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE
Leads Ransome Gordanier to I'm
prove Farms for His Brothers
Benefit.

Ransome Gordanier and his wife,
Elizabeth GOrdanier, of Republic coun-
ty, have brought suit in the United
States circuit court against Irving
in California, to set aside a mortgage.
The petition in the suit recites a, story
of a family agreement and brOtherly
confidence.
Ransome Gordanfer states that in
1874 at the instance of his brother
Irving, he agreed to the sale of the
family homestead in Erie county, Penn
sylvania, the proceeds to be turned over
to his brother, and his brother in turn
to deed him a farm in the west. The
homestead was sold and RansOme
GOrdanier moved to a farm near Bea-
trice, Neb., which was to have been
decided to him by his brother accord
ing to the terms of the contract, but
this the brother failed to do. Ransome,
however, believed in his brother, and
was content to simply occupy the farm.
Three years later Irving Gordanler
asked his brother to give up the farm
near Beatrice, representing that ne
could sell it to advantage, and instead
take a farm in Republic county, Kan.
RanSOme agreed and moved from Ne
braska, to Kansas. A deed to the Re
public county farm was promised, but
although year after year passed with
out the promise being carried out the
trusting brother felt no uneaS1neSS ana
went on improving the farm with the
intention of making it his permanent
home.
But not long ago his brotherly con-
fidence received a severe shock he
discovered that as long ago as 1894 his
brother had mOrtgaged the farm which
he looked upon as his own, for Sl,5O0,
and that the mortgage was now near
ing foreclosure. He brings suit asking
that the mortgage be set aside, hoping
to save his home The farm is worth
q 5O0
