The rumor of » serions wreck on the Rock Island road last night, which occurred to the train that left Omaha Thursdsy morning, was talked of con- siderably on the streets yesterday, but nothing definite was known by tho general public, and the ofcials, if posted, were reticent on the sub ject.

Windows were broken it. a8 quicklyas possible and people re- moved from the car and taken to o place of safety. In all there were about twenty pussengers in thfa car. In the revolution which the car mado down the embankment thestoves were hurledfromtheir placesand thebarning wood scattered in every direction. Mrs. Kirby, sylady of 50 years, who was seated in the rear end of the ear, fell a victim to the flames. Her cloth ing was burned from her body, and it wae with great difficalty that she could be handled, as the flesh was ready to drop from her bones. She was finally removed to the Tiskilwa Hotel, but her barns were so_serious that she died this morning. She was accompanied by her daughter, a lady of 30 yoars, and they wero on their way to Nevada, The conductor was severely burned about the hands aad by inhaling the flames in rescuing tae passenger Thomas Gorman and wife, of Dallas, Towa, werein the burning car.

Lincoln is just now euffering from the presence and activity of a gang of professional * pick-pockets who ply thelr calling at the opera house, hotels, depots and elsewhere. Hon. William A. Paxton, of thiz clty, was among the wuffererz Thuraday. Hié pocket-book contsiningabout §1200 in notes and a small sum of money, was stolen from his pocket in the Opera House, where the balloting for United States Senator was going on. In addition his railroad passes were stolen, being in thesame receptacle. Notrace ot the thief could be found. From a gentlemsn who came up on the noon train to-day we learn that eight robberies were committed yes- terday in the Opera House alone, one of them being that of a valuable diamond esr ring, which was actually elipped out of the lady's ear ss she was leaviog the hotise. Postmaster Keckley, of the house of representatives was relieved of his pocketbook while entering the Opera House. It was taken from his inside cost pocket. Fortunately 1t contained nothing but pipers, having deposited his cash on hend in the First National bank a few hours before.

Fierce Conflagration During the Storm of Wind and Snow Last Night. About 8 o'clock last evening & bright light was discovered in the di- rection of Oalifornis and Thirteenth btreets, which raptdly grew, until & broad glare lit up the eky and, magal- fied by the reflection on the snow which was falling, formed a most alarmiog sight. Those who first saw it +an to tho store of Mr. T. O, Brun- ner, corner of Capitol avenue snd Sixteenth street, and gave the alarm of fire from box 15, wlich was in- stantly responded to, but owing to the fire being in én entirely different neighborhood from the box palled, the drivers were confused, and were some little time in striking the route. It looked as if & whole block was burnitig, vletred froi the centfe of town, but after facing the gale which, loaded with snow, was driving square- ly from the north, the fire was reach- edand found to bo confined to two small dwelling houses on the south elds of Califorala beiween Tweltth and Thirteenth streets, which were owned by Mr. John Johnson, the real estato dealer, No. 1324 Farnam street, and occupied by a couple of Swede familtes, Thé buildings were of framo, one-story, and evidently old, and they burned like paper. From the time the flames burst forth to that oocapled by out foporter ln funnitg five blocks, one of the houses was to- tally destroyed, and the other devoured all except the frame and & portion of the roof. The occupants had barely time to save 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 chebked whent the firemen gotatit. A singular phenom- enon was witnessed In the appesrance of a reflection cast into the air from the fite. It was broad it the base end extended to the fenith where it culminated in s point, like an elongat- ed pyramid of fire. It waa very much like a brilliant display of tho riorthern lights. The fire was soon eatinguished snd by 9 o'clock tho groat crowd that had assembled at the spot had dispersed and the nelghborhood was once more quict and deserted. Inquiry us to the origin of the fire elicited nothing farther than that two little children had been left alone in the house where the flames started, and that they es- caped safely and were taken caro 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 Juue Next. Not only our firemen, but the citi- zans generally who enjoyed the tourn- sment given In this city two summers ago, will be glad to know that they will be enabled to witness another great foto next June, in tho grand tournament o take place at the city whose hospltality Omaha has o re- cently tested and enjoyed.
