Paxton, of thiz city, was among the sufferers Thursday. His pocket-book { containingabout 81200 in notes and o small sum of money, was stolen from his pocket in the Opora House, where the balloting for United States Senator was going on. In addition his railroad passes were stolen, being in thesame receptacle.

Fierce Conflagration During the Storm of Wind and Snow Last Night. About 8 o'clock last evening a bright light was discovered in the di- rection of California and Thirteenth btreets, which rapidly grew, until a broad glare lit up the sky and, magnl- fied by the reflection on the snow which was falling, formed a most alarmiog sight. Those who first saw it *an to the store of Mr. T. C. Brun: ner, corner of Capitol avenue and Sixteenth street, and gave the alarm of fire from box 15, wkich was in- stantly responded to, but owing to the fire being ih &n entirely different neighborhood from the box pulled, the drivers were confused, and were some little time in striking the ronte. It looked as if & whole biock was burnitig, vle'ed froiit thie centfe of town, but after facing the gale which, londed with snow, was driving square- ly from the north, the fire was reach- ed and found to be confined to two small dwelling houses on the wouth elds of Califoraia between Tweltth and Thirteenth streets, which were owned by Mr., John Johnson, the real estate dealer, No. 1324 Farnam street, and occupied by a couple of Swede familos, Thé buildings were of framo, one-story, and evidently old, and they burned like paper. From the time the flames burst forth to that oecapled by our fuportef In idunisg five blocks, one of the houses was to- tally destroyed, and the other devoured all except the frame and a portion of the roof. The occupants had barely time to save a few of their goods and escape with their lives The wind swept the flames across an open space In the centre of the square soas to threaten a disastrous conflagration, but thid was soofi checked wheu the firemen got atit. A singular phenom- enon was witnessed In the appesrance of a reflection cast into the air from the fite. It was broad at the base end extended to the genith where it culminated in a point, like an elongat- od pyramid of fire. It was very much like a briliant display of the riorthern lights. The fire was soon extinguished snd by 9 o'clock tho great crowd that had assembled at the spot had dispersed and the neighborhood was once more quict and deserted. Inquiry us to the origin of the fire elicited nothing fucther than that two little children had been left alonein the house where the flames started, and that they es- caped safely and were taken care of. The names and whereabouts of the people thus cruelly turned out in the storm, 1t was impossible in the con- fuslon to obtain. A FIREMEN'S FETE. A Grand Tournament to Take Place June Next. Not only our firemen, but the citi- zans generally who enjoyed the tourn- ament given In this city two summers ago, will be glad to know that they will be enabled to witness another great fote next June, in the grand tournament to take place at the city whose hospliality Omaha has #o re- cently tested and enjoyed.

MORE DEYILTRY, In the police court this morniog two of the Davis boys were up on the charge of grand larceny and were sommitted to the acunty jall to await further examination. This case was skilfully worked up by Officer James Donahee, the youngest man on the force, who exhibits considerable abi ty in bis profession. He detected the two men trying to dispose of a ladie gold watch, two gold chaine and some other srticles; said to havé been foretbly taken from a womau. The boys resisted the arrest and Andy Borden and Charles Helwig were call- ed on befozo the two could be subdu- ed and marched off to jal melee the watch was i some myster- ious manner dlsposed of, but notwith- standing this it is elieved that there fs a clear case againat the prisoners.
