An Aged Employe of the Un- ion Pacific Killed by the Cars, After Passicg the Alloted Three Score Years and Ten in Safely The Coroner’s Inquest and Verdict of the Jury, A terrible accident o 2 o'clock yesterday aft yards about the Uaicn Pacific shops, resulting in the death of an old man named Thomas Gilbert, who had pass- led Gilbert lived on Eleventh street be- | tween Cass and California, snd had a family consisting of a wife and six \dren, three of the latter being quite emall. He went to work for the th year. . | company two weeks ago to-day, b cmplosod ia the oil room cleaning a:d distributing the lamps. He perfor + usual Sonday mornin house to go to the ehops, his little wirl ng his scarf about bis ears bafore he left. It is said that he wasa liule bard of hearing, and this with the slownees of motion natural to a man of his sz accounts for the fatal result of his last trip to the shops. Heen tered the vard from the north and passed down the foundry tracl Short distax 1ce, when ke stopped a mo- | ment where a line of cars lay on paraliel switch. About this time an engine pushing three box cara in front of it entered the yard from the North western depot and rus down the dry track at the rate of perhaps s wiles an hour. Jus: before they reached the spot where Gilbert was stauding he was observed to stop upon the track as 1f to cross. The en; ueer, John Fogerty, the two switch- men on tap the cars, Warren Hu:lburt 3. W. s, saw him, and the and at the ssme es, aud gave the snal to stop. Adolph Dorer at the transfer, was standing a few feet away, and he foo called at the old man, who turned about and, secing the danger, started - |as if to retrace his steps, but before hie could do so the bumber struck him, hurling him on his face upon the irack and beneath the moving cars. The wheels did not pass overhnn but the brake rod caught in his clothin and whirled him about and rolled him over several times, and the second car acted much the same way. Fogerty bad reversed his engine at once on re- ceiving the signal, aud the train was stopped within thirty or forty feet distance and the unfortunate man taken from beneath the cars. He was, however, dead when removed, his life ing mercifully been taken from bim almost instantly. He probably never knew anything from the moment of his fall. The remains were placed in one of the cwrs and a messenger dispatohed for Corner Jacobs, who on arriving conveyed them to his undertaking rooms on Farnam stroat, where an in- quest washeld at 7 o'l ck last even- ing. A coroner’s jury was empaneled, cousisting of Wan. Neligh, (ommm. C.H D\-wx-v, Charles RlDD, J l:\( i A, Griffin and W. H. Kent T)m parties named as seeing the effair gave their testimony, and o also did W, Keechan, the fireman of the engine, and Mr. L. Lacey, a car- pouter, who was riding on the foot- board about the tank when the accl- dent occarred, the facts elicited be- ing as stated above. A verdict was rendered ‘‘that the said Thowmas Gilbert came to his death ou the 14th day of November, in the U. P. shop yard, by a train of cars sc- cidentally ranning over him, no blame being atfached to anyone,” The remains were subsequently re- moved to the home of the stricken femily, and the funeral will be post- poned until the relatives of the de- ceased in Jowa can reach hers, tele- ams having been immediately sent em. Mr. Ed. Gifford, aleoa U.

Oa November 7th, the Zither Club, which was organized three wocks ago, gave its first concert at Metz's Ha'l, which was well rttended and was a grand success in every respect. Above {all, the club must be complimented for ita exactness of performance, which justly earned the hearty encores it re- ceived after each of the two piccos— ng March” and “Concert " plaged with seven zithers and two gultars. The zither solo, *‘Con- t Faotasis,” and eong, by Mr. Louis Bohmrich, were well rendered and encored. The zither duelt, “Sounds from Home,” by Mesers. J. Festner and E. Ackermann, was re- warded with an encore, to which they responded with *“Tyrolean airs.” Mr. Julios Festner's soio, “Secret Love,” was admirably rendered and : | he was the recipicnt of threo hearty encores to which he responded with ¢Forget Me Not,” “Chiming Bells,” and “Last Rosa of Summer.” Stetnhauser’s or- chestra played *‘Damo Blauche” and “Mendelsshon’s Wedding March” in fine style.

It is safe to ssy that they will draw large crowds at both places, for their popularity is unques- tioned and they will give a raro good entertainment one may be sure. We are glad they have taken steps tokeep up the organization. WEDDING DELLS.

A Short Talk With a Repre- sentative Mormon, From Whom a Few Interest- ing Facts Are Elicited, In conversation with Bishop Staines, emigration ngent of the Morman charch, who left for home Saturday, we learned some interesting facts con- cerning the work being done by that | = peculiar people. The squad of 250 converts who pissed t'Tough thie city laet Sunday night, beund for Zion, was the last of tho season, during which over 2500 converts have goneto Utah, or nearly 1000 more than last serson. Tho ac- cossions made, of courre, incrosse from year to yew, but the largo in- crease this year Mr. Stainesattribuets to the influence of Secretary Evarts’ Lotter, which was an advertisent for them, calling public sttention to their work, Of the converts who came froui Europedn covntries to join the charch of the Latter Day Saiii‘s, Mr. Staines says at least one-third are Scandinais fans, and of the other two thirds, the largest proportion are Scotch, with eome Hollanders; a few French acd about thirty Toclanders. The Biskop, who is a very ploasant old gentleman, says his people aré greatly misrepresented about po my, which is not practiced now by over one fifth of the Mormon people. | Hoe explained the theory of th most okbjectionsble teref, aud mw tioned incidentally that th v popu’ tion was doubled once ev.ry (\wrly-} five years by propeuaticn aloe. He| says they are not afraid of the governs | ment, which can never seri usly iti- terfere with them, and grows more powerlees each year to doso. Tie Mormons arealreadya political power which is constantly increasing nut1 ¢ willbe at no distant day quite formid- able. When asked to explain how it is that the Mormons are all democrate, Mr. Staines replied that he could not account for it; he said he knew that they suffered most underthe two dem- ccratic administrations preceding 61, but that, witheut knowing why, he was himeelf a democrat, and regrotted exceedingly the defeat of that party. Ho sald tho republicans were very shrewd politiclans and hard workers.

Morrill, HOT WHISKY Is What The Fire Demon Un- dertook to Serve up Sat- urday Night, Few of our oltizena know how nesr the clty came Saturday night, at mid- night, to being visited with another one of those disastrous fires of which we have had several during tho past yeor. The fire started on the inside of Wagoner's cooper shop, which is con- FPURNISHED Rooms for reat, at Doran House, opposite Bee (il 2 furnished rooms over Mer- E. Cor. 16th and %0.

The night watchman eaw the flamee, and gave the alarm by blowing the steam whistle of the distillery, which unusual noise at that hour of the night awoke the slumbering citi- zens of South Omaha, who seon gath- ered in considerable numbers at the distillery, dreadinga repetition of the Boyd's packing house fire. The Willow Springs hose company tarned out, and aided by a couple of | men with Bsbcock extinguisbers, soon had the fire subdued and all danger averted. Une of the latter men, Bill Umpherson, of the U. P., slipped on the wet roof of the cooper shop and fell to the ground, but being light in build he was not much hurt. The demage is believed not to ex ceed 860. The origin of the fire is entirely unknown. No alarm wes sent in to thefire depar'ment of the clty, for which the boya will probably bo duly thankful, as it is a bad run, and was a cold night,and the roads sro in bad shape down that way.
