. THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1894—TWELVE SS PAGES. LATE NEWS BY WIRE|ONE MoRE case TODAY|FINANCE AND TRADE Fatal Fire in a Beef Packing House, TWO FIREMEN BURIED IN THE RUINS Half Loss Probably Over Million. —s> OTHER BUILDINGS BURNED eS OMAHA, Neb... November 2.—Just as the men were going to work in the big beef house of tle Hammond packing plant at South Omaha, at 7 o'clock this morning, flames were discovered in the second floor and quickly spread to the third and fourth floors. As soon as the fire was discovered the private fire department of the Ham- monds started to fight the flames, but it was discovered that the pressure was 80 light that it was impossible to accomplish anything. Word was at once sent to Omaha and all the available apparatus was hurried to the scene, for, as a high wind was blowing, the fire threatened to spread to the house of Swift & Co. and to the stock yards. All the efforts of the firemen were confined to keeping the fire from spreading, as there was no possible show of saving the big beef house, a four-story structure, 200x200 feet, which originally cost $200,000, and was filled wath valuable machinery and a large amoynt of beef. ‘The efforts of the firemen to confine the flames to this house proved successful, but orly at the cost of three lives. At 11 o'clock one of the walls of the burning building fell and two firemen, be- longing to the private department of the packing company, were buried under tons of burning timber and red-hot brick. CHICAGO, November 2.—At the Chicago office of the Hammond Company it was stated that In the burned beef house 600 or more cattle were slaughtered daily, and as the place was well stocked today it was es- timated that the loss on that building alone would amount to close to $500,000. The hog slaughter house’ 1s built a short distance. from the beef building, with the other portions of the plant grouped about close together. ‘The insurance on the entire Hammond plant fs placed at $1,500,000. Other Losses by Fire.

To Be Imprisoned Nine Years and Six Months. Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. * MARLBORO’, Md., November 2.—Asa Hamilton Tucker, who was tried and con- victed- here last week of the murder of Lloyd Vermillion, was sentenced here today to nine years and six months in the Mary- land penitentiary. His counsel, who made @ motion for a new trial, withdrew it to- Benjamin F. Lawson, who is in the Bal- timore jail for safe keeping, charged with striking the blow from which Vermillion died, will be tried at Rockville, Md., at the rext term of court. > THE BARBOUR-HEISKELL CASE. The United States Attorney to Take Charge of the Prosecution. Another step was taken late this after- noon in the mutter of the recent alleged tampering with certain jurors sitting in the trial of Barbour ageinst Heiskell. Mr. Henry Wise Garnett, attorney for the plain- tiff, moved that the court question each juror whether communication by any means was had with him touching the case before the jury was discharged. ‘The defendant's attorney, Mr. R. Ross Perry, opposed the motion, and sugges:ed that any inquiry in regard to the matter should be made by the United States at- torney. Chief Justice Bingham thereupon ordered that notice be given the district attorney of the contempt cited, with di- rections for him to take charge of the prosecution. —_-—> — Death of Rev. W Duncan. The Rev. William H. Duncan, treasurer of Georgetown College, died this morning as a result of an apoplectic stroke suffered some time ago. He was a prominent mem- ber of the Jesuit order. Prior to entering the order he was vice general of the dio- cese of Mobile, Ala., and for twenty years pastor of ©:. Mary's Church, Boston, Mass. James Brown, a Suspected Case, Has the Smallpox. Lived on 16th Street—Believed to Have Contracted the Disease From Mary Thomas. Another smallpox patient was taken to the hospital today. This patient is James Brown, a colored man, apparently twenty- five or thirty years old, and Br. Beall, the smallpox Inspector, says his is a serious case. This is one of the suspicious cases reported two days ago and which Dr. Beall concluded was not smallpox. Brewn is a domestic In the house of General John Moore, surgeon general of the army, re- tired, No. 903 16th street northwest. Wed- nesday, after James had complained of feeling unwell, his employer visited him in bis room and concluded that he had the smallpox. His diagnosis of the case was reported to the health office and Dr. Wood- ward sent Dr. Beall, the Inspector, to the house to see the patient. There ‘he saw Brown and also consulted General Moore. The result of the visit was a report that the man did not have the smallpox, and so the ambulance was not sent to the house. Yesterday Dr. Beall made a second visit to the house, but the pustules were not advanced very much and still he was not satisfied just what was the matter with the sick man. This morning’s visit to the house con- vinced him that Brown had a severe case of smallpox, and he at once sent for the ambulance and had him sent to the hos- pital. - All this time Brown has been Isolated from the other persons in the house, ce- cupying a room on the top floor. As soon as he was taken away the condemned bed- ding, clothing and other articles were re- moved and Dr. O'Malley conducted the work of putting the place in a good sani- tary condition. ‘The action of the smallpox inspector, Dr. Beall, in failing to diagnose the case when it was first reported, caused some comment about the health office today, but Dr. Beall told a Star reporter that when he first saw the patient there was no eruption what- ever about him. Yesterday he said the eruption was just beginning to appear, and today when he saw him he had pot the slightest doubt about the disease. Surgeon General Moore did not know where Brown had lived during the sum- mer while his family was out of the city, but it wes stated that he lived on Capitol Hill. This information, however, could not be verified this afternoon. Dr. O'Malley, who was seen by a Star reporter this afternoon, sald that all the other cases had been traced to the Coston family, and felt certain that such would be the case with Brown. Taking Precautions. Precautions are still being taken at the Interior Department for the prevention of smallpox. The department will be closed tomorrow at noon for another thorough fumigation. Secretary Smith did not at- tend the cabinet meeting today, not, as he sald, because he was afraid of carrying contagion, but in order that there might not be the slightest uneasiness. Rumors Denied. “There are no cases of smallpox in the city,” said Health Officer Woodward today, “other than those which have been reported. There are at present elght cases in the city, all of which are isolated at the smallpox hospital, and all are doing well. ‘The reason I say this is because ridiculous rumors have been circulated exaggerating the existing state of affairs, and even going so far as to hint that the health office was concealing from the press the true conditions. “The public know as much about the small- pox czses In town as the heaith authorities do. There is absolutely no suspected case in the city now to my knowledge, and none have been reported in the past forty-eight hours by either physicians or others. The case of James Brown, who was removed from #03 16th street to the smallpox hospital this afternoon, has been under observation for three or four days, properly isolated, and surrounded by safeguards to prevent contagion. His case is directly traceable to the Cos- ton case. He is a cousin of Mary Thomas, who was removed from 243 14th street rortheast to the smallpox hospital, and ad- mitted today that he had visited her while she was sick. He denied up to this time that he had been exposed to contagion, and persistently concealed the fact. The conditions now are very favorable for the complete eradication of the disease; and the general health of the community ts good.” At the Hospital. Dr. Nevitt reported this afternoon at 3 o'clock that all of his patients are doing well, with the exception of Samuel Mundell, the man who attempted to escape yesterday morning. His condition, owing to exposure, is regarded es serious. _ ° THE FIRST STEP. Preparing Maps for the Proposed Ex- tension of Streets. An important step in the preparation of the map which will give the official exten- sion of highways in the District of Colum- bia has just been made. It will be recalled that Congress at its last session passed an appropriation of $6,000 for the preparation of a plan for the ex- tension of a permanent system of high- ways, which stipulated that $3,000 of that amount “shall be expended by the Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia for the preparation of sketch plans and report by Frederick Law Olmstead of the extension of the streets and avenues of the District of Columbia.” The Commissioners at once put them- selves in communication with Olmstead, who enjoys a national reputation as a land- scape architect. Mr. Olmstead recently no- tified the Commissioners that he was about retiring and could not undertake the labor incident to such a large piece of work. He suggested, however, that his firm do the work. Lut this of course could not be done, as the law on the subject was plain. Mr. P. C. Olmstead, a member of the firm, called recently upon the Com- missioners, and desired to inform himself on the situation. He was referred to En- gineer Commissioner Powell, who is in charge of this important work, and the captain spent several days with him going over the plans. One day was devoted to the survey of the land. He examined with interest that por- tion of the general plan which was drawn with a view of extending the Rock Creek and Zoological Park down stream to Ly- on’s mill, and the opening ef the magmuti- cent boulevard on a line of 25th street, con- necting these parks and the Potomac Park or reclaimed flats. He also had described to him the park boulevard that the present plan provides for, the extending along the line of Piney branch and Spring road being nearly on an east and west line, and con- necting the lower part of Rock Creek Park and the upper part of the Zoological Park on one hand with Soldiers’ Home on its western side. ‘Ana of another grand avenue opposite the Soldiers’ Home entrance of the Spring road boulevard, with a park supposed to be laid out in the future along the upper park of the Anacostia river or Eastern branch. Also an avenue magnificent In proportions ccnnecting the upper part of the Rock Creek Park with the upper part of the Anacostia Park. Mr. Olmstead explained the situation with great interest, and made some important suggestions. He requested the engineer department to prepare certain maps and send them to him. He will then carefully consider the mat- ter subject, ard meke bis report to Mr. Frederick Law Olmstead, who tn turn will make a repert to the Commissioners. As soon a3 this report is received the Com- missioners will declare the maps complete and file thera. It Is expected that Mr. Fred- erick Olmstead will visit Washington short- ly to better acquaint himself with the situa- tion. ——__ Mr. Morton's Coachman. ‘The case of Coachman Howard is under- stood to have been again brought before the President at the cabinet meeting this afternoon, but with what result cannot now be stated with certainty. ee gee Damages for the Plaintift. In the suit for damages brought by Martha Allen against the B. and P. Rail- road Company, the jury in Circuit Court No. .1 late this afternoon returned a ver- dict in favor of the plaintift for #40. oS ee Effect of the Czar’s Death Was Gen- erally Discounted. FOREIGN SECURITIES FIRM IN LONDON ————— Sugar Was Again Active, Opening Lower. Nor GENERAL MARKET REPORTS oni Special Disparch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 2.—Early London cables reflected a slightly firmer tone in the market for international securities and encouraged a continuation of yesterday's covering movement on this side. The steady tone of European markets generally proves that the death of Russia's monarch had been previously discounted in financial circles. The volume of business shows no signs of improvement, and the supremacy of the room element is undisputed. Election pos- sibilities are the absorbing topics of discus- sion, as Was frequently attested throughout the ‘session by the complete inactivity of the ticker. Reading was strong at the opening, but reacted on realizing sales and some opera- tiens for the short account. The balance of the regular list was dull and irregular within fractional limits. Sugar was again active, opening at a re- duction from closing figures and selling down 3-4 per cent on selling for both ac- counts. Covering later in the day, inspired by bull tips from the pool brokers, marked the price up beyond initial figures, only to be forced back on the marketing’ of hun- dred-share lots. The weekly report of the operations at the subtreasury reflects a loss of about $1,000,000, The last hour’s trading was dull and pur- poseless, prices being inclined to yield frac- tionally from last figures. ———— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
