Sung Sums Realized for Destruction OF

Sung Sums Realized for Destruction OF
Spanish ship.
New York, Sept. 5-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says:
From the official report of Ad-
miral Montejo, commanding the
Spanish fleet sunk at Manila,
there were 1875 persons on board
the ships under his command.
The Spanish fleet was of inferior
force to the American squadron,
aud Rear Admiral Dewey's men
will therefore only get 500 for
each person.
1t is estimated that the aggre-
gate amount due the Asiatic feet
AS result of the destruction of
the Spanish force amounts to
SlS7 800, which Congress will be
asked to appropriate during the
coming session. One twentieth
of this sum belongs to Rear Ad-
miral Dewey, as commander in
chief, and he will therefore be
S9375 richer than he was before
the war.
Rear Admiral Sampson ha
realized snug little fortune as +
result of the war. AS Command
err n-chief of the North Atlantic
fleet he will get one-twentieth of
every prize taken in North Allan
tic waters and twentieth of
the head money allowed for yes
sells destroyed off Santiago and in
Cuban ports. 1t is estimated that
he Will finally receive about
$4,000 as his share of the prize
money.
In determining the amount OF
head money due the officers and
men it will be necessary for the
department to decide whether the
vessels destroyed were inferior OF
superior to their antagonists. II
the latter, the Americans will be
entitled to 5000 for each person
on board the enemy's vessels. OIL
course, this will swell the amount
of prize money due the rear ad
miral.
1t is estimated that, including
the Mercedes, sunk by the Massa-
chusetts at the mouth of the har-
Dor of Santiago, there were 249l
persons on board the Spanish
fleet destroyed by Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS command, which was
superior to the enemy, and the
amount of head money due the
fleet will consequently aggregate
SZl9, 200.

GEORGE E. CHENEY IS KILLED
Fatal Accident Refals the Well Known
Banker Of Creighton,
STEPS INTO AN OPEN ELEVATOR SHAFT
Wanting To GO TO His Room He opens
the Door and steps 10 His
Death-Snd End of nm
Excursion,

George L. Cheney, a well known banker
OF Creighton, Neb.. met with an accident
last evening which resulted in death While
talking with his wife in the corridor OF the
Drexel hotel he walked into an elevator
shaft and fell to the basement floor eight
feet below, sustaining internal injuries and
a fracture of the knee from which he never
regsned consciousness
Mr.. Cheney and his wife were guests Of
the hotel. About o'clock. after returning
from trip up town to watch the Shriners'
parade, Mr.. Cheney complained OF fatigue
and remarked that he guessed he would 20
UP to his room. He then summoned a call
boy and asked for a pitcher of icewater
and as the boy left to execute the order he
suggested to his wife. Let's step into the
elevator and wait till the boy brings the
water" Mrs. Cheney assented and the
two walked to the elevator door. Mr..
Cheney was in advance and the door being
unlatched he slid it back and stepped into
the shaft before It wRs discovered that
the car was not there. Mrs. Cheney's
screams brought Manager j. II. Hart OF
the hotel and the night clerk to her as
sistanCe at once
Mr. Cheney was unconscious when help
reached him. He was carried to his room
on the second floor and attended by DR..
w. ii. Christie. but medical aid was OF
little avail and he died in less than an hour.
The elevator door where the accident oc-
CURED does not catch in i1s iock. Tho latch
has been bent or broken and the door can
be easily opened from the outside. Directly
above and behind anyone entering tho ele
vator is bright electric lamp. When the
door is closed. and the car removed. the
corridor of the hotel is reflected in the glass
of the door so that to one looking at the
reelection, it seems exactly as If he were
looking through the glass into the elevator
car 1t is not improbable that Mr.. Cheney
was deceived by this reflection.
Coroner Swanson was called later in the
evening. He and DR.. Christie examined the
body, finding severe confusion at the base
of the skull. and evidences of broken ribs
and internal injuries. A jury was impan-
| eled and the inquest will be held today.
Mr. Cheney with his wife and daughter
Flora arrived in the city yesterday morn
, ing at 1855 o'clock. Miss Cheney went to
visit at the home of friends, while her par
ents registered at the hotel. Mr.. Cheney
was Ga years old. He was lawyer OF the
firm Of Cheney G. Adams, in Creston, Ia, be-
town he has lived several years, where
James Cheney, his son. is now vice presi-
dent Of the Creighton bank. Word was sent
to the son but no reply was received. 1t
| Is supposed that the message was not de-
! livered, as ii is known that he planned to
come to Omaha by an evening train. The
| first news of his fathers death will prob
| ably be learned when he reaches the hotel

school Indebtedness.

ASHLAND, Neb., Sept. 15.-(Special)-
Hon. Hibbard II. Shedd president of the
Board of Education OF this city, says that
the indebtedness of school district No |
OF Saunders county, in which the city of
Ashland is located, has been reduced about
one-half within the last year. One year
ago the district owed over So, 900, while to-
day the amount approXimates about 81, 500.
This is due to two or three causes. People
are paying their taxes little more
promptly and the levy, which is now %
mills under the new law, gives a larger
amount than heretofore. One important
factor in the reduction was the excess Of the
bond fund, which has Just been turned over
to the general fund by the county commits
sioners, and which amounted to over 81. .OOO
President Shedd expresses the belief that
reduction OF nearly sl.50O will be shown
In the next year. and that by 1900 the dis
