At West Point Judgo W. F. Norrissentenced Leo Pflueger, the man whomurdered his wife about a year ago,to be imprissoncd in the pehitentiaryfor the rest of his life. The judge im-

posed the full limit of the law in hiscase. The sentence of the jury lastweek was that of murder in the seconddegree. After the sentence had beenpassed, the murderer spoke for the firsttime since last October. The substanceof what he said was that his wife hadbeen untrue. Pflueger had been ad-

judged insane in February. isy2. andwas about to be taken to the insaneasylum, when he escaped from a deputysheriff.

The case of Private P.urwcll IJaxterof Fort Niobrara, charged with manslaughter, Is on trial in Omaha. Thedefendant is responsible for the deathof Private West, and the killing wasdone with a pocket knife. Accordingto the story told of the affair, therehad been trouble between the two, andI'axter was endeavoring to get awayand avoid any further hostilities. Hisopponent followed him and was strik-ing him as he ran. Uaxter drew aknife and struck backward, but insiststhat he could not sec whether he struckany one or not. He did not imagine hehad struck a fatal blow.

The destructive results of yesterday'sstorm, says a Sutton dispatch,are muchgreater than first supposed. In a trackof a mile wide north and east of here acloudburst literally flooded the face ofthe country, accompanied by hail andwind that destroyed the crop, brokeglass in the farm houses and leveledwindmills. Mrs. Henry Hull, her sonand two horses were instantly killedby lightning as the lad was bringinghome the stock for the night. East ofhere two cows were killed and a girlwas severely stunned by the lightning.The hail, twenty-fiou- r hours after thestorm, remained in the drains and wasso destructive as to kill calves and otheryoung stock.

Floy Caldwell, daughter of M. Cald-well of University Place, near Lincoln,was killed by a bolt of lightning lastweek during a heavy storm. She wasstanding in the sitting room, readingan essay she was to render at a sociyentertainment at Wesleyan universityat 8 o'clock the same night when thefatal bolt descended and she fell to thefloor. Her pulse continued for twohours afterward, and every effort wasmade to revive her, but to no avail.The top of her head and her face werebadly burned and there "was a burnedand blackened mark down one side ofher body. Her sister, not more thanthree feet away, was uninjured, aswere the father and mother in an ad-joining room.

AWFUL CATASTROPHE

SUDDEN COLLAPSE OF THE OLDFORD THEATER.

Fire Hundred Employes of the PensionDepartment In the Fearful "WreckTwenty-tw-o KnOwtt to be Killed andVwtce as Many More Injured, Some ofThem Mortally Ghastly Scenes at theMorgue.

A Veritable Death Trap.Washington; June iq. Another trag-

edy, less "national in character, but in-

volving the loss of many more lives andtnuch more human suffering, has stainedthe walls bf the oia Ford theater, Wash-

ington, where Abraham Lincoln wasassassinated by John Wilkes Booth inApril, 1863.

It is a coincidence which will go intohistory that this second . tragedy oc-

curred on the very llay when the re-

main's of the great tragedian, whoselife was so darkened by his brother'scrime that he never visited Washingtonafterward, wfere bein'ff )ai'd lii-rfes- inMbnt Vernon cemetery, Mass. Thehouse in which Lincoln died, on theother side of the street from the thea-ter in which he was shot, and whichIs Jlill sentimentally kept in tact, asit was that fatal night, looked-dow-

today upon a scene of agony, excite-ment and grief which even the greatcrime of 18(55 could not parallel. Amithe hol'rors of the scerie were by n8means lessened by .the knowledge thata blunder, surely in this case almostworse than a crime, had caused thedeath of from twenty to thirty persons,at least, and injuries upon fif ty or sixtymore. The evidence as found in officialrecords appears conclusive that os longago as 1SS3 this building, which thegoverndient purchased after the assas-sination and used as an army, museum,was officially proclaimed by congressan unsafe depository for the inanimateskeletons, mummies and books of thearmy medical museum, for Which a saferplace of storage Was provided by act ofeohgrcss. But notwithstanding thefact that in the public p'ress and in con-gress also continued attention wascalled to the building, 'walls of the build-ing and its darkness and general

and unsafety, it continuedto be used for the daily employment ofnearly 500 government" clerks of the pen-sion record division of the War office.

With a refinement df discriniinatioh,howeVer, between what could be re-

placed ahd what could not be easilysupplied, the clerks were trusted in theunsafe building, and the original rec-ords were retained in the substantiafire-pro- of war department buildingproper. So the comforting official as-surance is given that while thirty clerksmay have been killed the pension rec1Ords are all saved and uninjured.

At the mdrguc the sight is horrible.The blood from the bodies formed in atool oh the floor and crushed skulls,

arms and legs made the sceneindescribable. There were some of thevictims who had been crushed. Theyhad been smothered, and discolorationof faces and necks gave visible evidenceof the cause of death.

Four more persons arc reported dead,whose names are probably confusedwith those of victims or their identityconfused with some of the bodiesthrough physical resemblance. Twopersons whose names were included inthe list of the victims taken front theruins, escaped uninjured.

The number of injured reported isabout fifty, but many persons, whowere able to proceed to their homes,were hurt more or less badly. The following list of the dead is as correct ascan be made at this time.

S. WOOD.F. M. WILLIAMS, Wisconsin.JOSEPH B. GAGE, Michigan.M. F. MULEDIE, Louisiana.J. K. CIIAPIN, South Carolina.The building fell before 10 o'clock.

I here were at the time 334 clerks inthe building. Scarcely any escapedfrom injury. The injuries, from thevery nature of the affair, are very se-vere crushed bodies, broken limbs andinternal injuries. Thousands sur-rounded the scene, and the excitementspread all over the city.

Every hospital in the city was calledon to care for the wounded. GeneralSchofield ordered two troops of cavalryirum rort .ueyer, just, across the river,and two companies of infantry to thescene. The secretary of the navy or-dered out all the naval medical officersstationed here and opened tlie navalhospital to receive the injured. Thecommandant at the navy yard was or-dered to render all assistance in hispower.

The cause of the collapse is supposedto be from digging under the founda-tion for the purpose of putting in anelectric light plant, but as near as canbe ascertained the top floor gave wayfirst, carrying the others down with itFortunately the entire building did notcollapse, as in that case the loss of lifewould have been much greater. As itwas only the front part went down,leaving more than half of the floorspace intact. Because of this manylives were saved. Some of the clerksat their desks were left sitting on thebrink, while the desks at which theysat went down.

The collapse of the building had ex-cited earnest attention to the two othergreat public buildings believed to be inan almost equally unsafe condition-o- ne

the government printing office,where 1,S00 people are employed; theother is the rickety shell known as theWinder building, also belonging to thewar department and occupied by hun-dreds of clerks at that department andthe second auditor's office. This placeis notoriously dangerous, and the" floorsare overloaded, all of the facts beingknown to congress for years, but re-ceiving no attention.

WON'T BOW TO WALL STREET.Meaning of President Cleveland's State- -

(meht fon tlib ripnticlal Situation., WAihufoloN", Jtine h. PresidentCleveland's frank statement in regardto the date of calling an extra sessionof Congress was the subject of politi-cal gossip. The President wrote thestatement himself and sent it to thepress association, and everything indi-cated that the President lmd made uphi!) mind t'd make the statement aftera conference with some of his high po-

litical advisers. Secretary Greshamdrove to the White House and remainedwith tho President a while. Althoughit is not positively known, it is be-lieved that other members of the Cabi-net were there also and that th"V gavethe President their advice On the nro-priet- y

bf the statement.The tneaniiig of the interview, as it

is generally regarded, is simply thatthe President wishes it to be "under-stood that his. administration willtake no action, such as the issuance ofbonds, until after Congress has metand had a chanco to legislate on finan-cial affairs.

There are some who doubt the wis-dom of the President's entering intothe general discussion oh this subject,claiming that by so doing he Will aidvery materially to the feeling df finan-cial unrest, espcciallj' in the West.They fear that the President's state-ment, admitting as it does the dangerof the situation, will occasion the sub-tracti- oa

of a number of deposits frombauks and possibly the failure of sev-eral of these institutions.

Chinese Complications.WAsiiixgtox, H. C., June 7. The

Treasury department for some time hasbelieved that the Chiesc were using affidavits of authentication for illegiti-mate purposes. Some, taken out here,were sent abroad and sold to China-men; in other cases the Chinamenwould dispute of them after reachingChina, and, in both cases, the law wasviolated. Under the law, Chinese mer-chants who decide lo leave this countyto visit China have lterctofore been fur-nished with papers which, when en-dorsed by the United States consul atthe port of debarkation, to enable themto re-ent- er the United States. ActingSecretary Hamlin thinks the abuseshould be stopj't'd and has addressedthe collector at Boston a letter on thesubject to that effect.

The state department will probablynot interfere in the case of the steam-ship Danube at Portland, Ore., wherethe captain appealed to the Dritish le-

gation for relief from the order of thecourt which required him to bring .'5."0

Chinese passengers before the court toanswer its habeas corpus, llic captainwas willing that the Chinese should an-swer, but he feared to assume the heavyresponsibility of preventing the escapeof the Chinamen when they were onceashore.

Sir Juliah Pauncefote, the British am-bassador, called at the state depart-ment toda-- , probably to present thecase to Secretary Gresham. It is

the department that there willbe no difficulty in complying technicallywith the order of the court, while avoid-ing any posibility of the escape of theChinese. This could be done if the mar-shal should serve his writs on board andleft a deputy in charge of the Chineseuntil the court passes upon the case.

Nebraska is on top, favoreft by per-

fectly delightful weather, and in thepresence of an enormous crowd Nebras-ka formally invited the world to acceptthe hospitality of her state building.From nn early hour Nebraskons beganto assemble and Cbinihi.-sitm-er Generalt'tarrtean, Scth Mobley ahd Dave fJar'tafi,who were ill eaflyon the ground, werebusy men, welcoming visiiofs nnH an-

swering questions. Governor Crounsecame out at 10 o'clock and met hun-

dreds of his friends. At 11 o'clock ahand was he'drd, and iu a fev Momentaa parade, such as has never bceh i6eflin Jackson Park, filed past the Nebras-ka building. Colonel Cody rode a mag-

nificent charger at the head of the Unit-

ed Stitcs cavalry which formed thegovernor's guard of honor then camefill the Indians in f till warpaint, severalchiefs ill carriages itnd the cowboys andcavalry of all nations.

Cdmtnissionef General Garneau es-

corted Governor Croulis!: to the castporch and when the strains of "Hail t?the Chief" had died away, turned overthe building to Governor Crounse. Thegovernor accepted the gift and in turndedicated it to Hie people Pf ftll nations.

Governor Crounse spoke as follows:As I behold the splendors of this vast

exhibition of human achievement fromall corners of the globe, it seems almostthe height of audacity for our youngstate to venture to take part. If Colum-bus had kindly delayed his discovery afew years, or' if thii settlement of Ne-

braska had been started ii quarter of acentury at pace she has already set, I have ho doubt She wouldhave stood high in rank ambng hercompetitors. But time has not yetripened the fruits of her industry, norhas age matured the creations of en-

self.While Nebraska boasts of having one

of the largest smelting and refiningworks on the globe, has two of the sixbeet sugar factories of the United Statesand has already set her streams to themusic of the cotton spindles, yet it isessentially an agricultural state, aridwe do not boast of great cities nor placeon exhibition many products of thebusy factories. There is one industry,however, in whidi we excel. The wholepopulation, including sonic of the bestrepresentatives from the old Pine state,the Empire, Keystone. Buckeye andother eastern states, together with theGerman, the Britain and Scandinavian,is engaged in it. It started somethingover a quarter of a centnrj ago, atldalthough its development has beensteady and rapid, it is even yet in itsinfancy. It began on the Missouri riverwhere the early settler was confrontedby the descendant of the tribe who firstgreeted Columbus when he landed fourhundred .years ago, ahd has extended tohear the base bf the Rocky mountainson the west and from Kansas on tilesouth to the Dakotas on the north.
