The Victim of the Gilmore Accident ~A Child Dies from Swallowing a Screw. I* will be remembered that a few days since a man named R. B. Kid- doo was brought into Omaha and taken to the Harney street hospital, suffering from eoncussion of the brain and other injuries received by jump- ing from a train near Gilmore, on the Union Pacific. Kiddoo wasa well to do citizen of Syracuse, Neb., owning, together with his brother, a large stock farm, about twenty miles from Nebraska City. He was 61 years of age. He came to Omaha on some business, and had started for home when the accident occurred, taking Union Pacific train No. b, which leavea Omaha at 5 8. m., and which on the morning in question was followed by the Missouri Pacific train in two sec tions, Arthur Allen, the grocer in Barker's block. was a passenger on the same train. When near Gilmore they noticed that the train following them was approaching them rather rapidly, and fearing that it would runm into their caboose, went out on the rear platform, prepared - to jump off if necessary, though their train was at the time running at the rate of about seventeen milés an hour. Eventually they did jump, and Mr. Allen hurt his arm and received other slight in- juries, while Mr. Kiddoo fell, strik- g his head on a - cross tie, and received the injuries which roftlted in his death at'10 a. m. yes- terday. After they leaped to "the ground the locomotive struck the ca- boose, injuring i;, and proving that their fears were not groundless. A brother and sister of the deceased are in the city, and an inquest will be held at Coroner Jacob’s st 10 o'clock this morning, afcer which the remains will be buried here. SWALLOWED A SCREW. A little meventeen months old son of Mr. 8. B. Seydell, resid- ing at No. 1715 California street, died at 11 o'clock yesterday from the ef- fects of having swallowed a screw an inch and a half long on Friday last. A physician was called in, and suc- ceeded in forcing the screw down into the stomach from the throat, in which it had lodged. It was hoped that this would save the child’s lite, but after lingering for two days the little one at length expired, DEATH IN JAIL. A Young Man Succeeds in Sulcide at the Third Attempt. About 7 o'clock Saturday morning a young man named Spiegel, a brother of Henry Spiegel, the second hand dealer, died from theeffsots of an over dose of arsenie, taken with suicidalin- tent, It appoars that the deceased was a drinking man, and had made two pre- vious attempts at suicide, one by shooting, but was unsuccessful wntil the present, Friday evening he went to Titus drug store, on Thirteenth Jones streets, and pur- hased fitte en centa worth of arsen- io, on the etatement that be wanted ittokill rats.

At 5:30 Saturday Deputy Mar- shal McClure called on hiw and found him still feeling badly, Ho wanted to see his brother, who was according- sent for and Dy, Leisenring wis telo- Ehuned to come to the jail. The rother of the unfortunate man ar- rived and had a talk wiih him after which he left, and at 7 o'olock fel- low prisoner called out to Officer Jacobson, who was on dul)‘ that Spiegel was dead. He died in great ageny during a convalsion brought on by the poison. Coroner Jacobs was at once notified of the death, and the body removed Jto s establishment where an inqubst was held at 3:80 Saturday, amnd a verdiot found in accordance with the facts. Much indignation is expressed at Henry Spiegel’s lack of feeling, and his treatment of his brother, though it is probable that he did not fully realize the danger in which he was, He had several times tried to brace him up and set him going in business, but each time without success. It is likely that the young man had dissi- pated until there was no hope for him, and he is well off in having shuffied off 80 burdensome s life. ANOTHER INQUEST- Jack Graham Dies of Alcoholism in the City Jall. After a soason of unusual dullnes in the coroner's business things are get- ting lively again. The death of young Spiegel was fullowed by that of Kiddco yesterday morning, and of Jack Gra ham last evening about 6 o'clock, boti demanding an inquest and one being fixed for 10 and the other 11 o'clock this morning. Jack Graham was a man well known in this city. Having reached the age when gray hairs were more numerous than brown, he could boast of having served his country twenty-two years, and escaped the bullet, as he had also escaped the cholera, the small pox and other similar dangers, but Omaha whisky got the better of him. He was intelligent and a pleasant talker, good natured and harmless, but ad- dicted to the excessive use of ntoxi- cating liquors. At the breaking out of the small pox in this city last winter, Graham, who had had the disease, was em- ployed as nurse at the pest house, and remained there until recently, when the disease had run its course and the hospital closed for want of pa tients. Since then it appears he has been on a continued spree. At 10 o’clock yesterday morning he was found in a ‘‘paralyzed” condition near the corner of 17th and Cuuuing, and officer Kasper put him in & wagon and brought him to the city jail. He was unable to speak and was put in a coll where he slept all day. ~Shortly before G o'clock Officer Flynn and and Deputy Marshal MecClure to secure an obstreperous prisoner in the dungeon, and heard Graham snoring. Fifteen minutes Iater they went down and he was dead, lying.on his back, face upturned, they had left him. The coroner was notified, and the body was removed to Undertaker Jacobs” establishment, where the inquest will be held at eleven o'clock to.day, There is no doubt as to the cause of the mans death, but it was entirely unexpected to the ofticers who had been in and out of the jail all day, and saw noth- unusual in his appearance. A Presentation at the New Art Palace Baturday Night, About 9 o'clock Saturday evening the handsome place just fitted up and opened out by Mr. Joe Blake was the tcons of a pleasant presentation to the proprietor from his many friends as a mark of their appreciation of his ef- forts in fitting up & palace of this kind, During the day the matter was quietly worked up, and at 9 o'clock a party of Joe's most tntimate friends assembled at No. 214 South Eleventh street to give hun a pleasant surprise.

On Wednesday next, May 24, be- ginning with sunset on Tuesday even- ing, the Israelites of this city, in com- mon with their brethren throughout the world, will celebrate the Feast of Weeks, called in Hebrew Shebunoth. It is of peculiar significance, being a double celebration of both the ingath- ering of the harvest and the promul- gation of the law on Mount Sinai. The Feast of Weeks derives its name from the numbering of the Omer,that is, the counting of seven complete weeks by evening services for forty- nine nights in the synagogue, the object being to impress upon all the value of time, particularly at this pe- riod of the year when time is of the highest value to the husbandman, for in Palestine, the summer being much earlier than 1n this country, the wheat and barley were ripe at the| Passover season, and the corn was all reaped when the Feast of Weeks had arrived, 80 that from every town and village in the Holy Land came to this festival the farmer laden with the | first fruits of the harvest as an offor. ing in the Temple of Jerusalem, with sound of music and the voice of song acknowleaging God as the source of all good. But now, though this feast can present but a shadow of its former beauty, the sons of Israel are forced to content themselves with the adorn- ment of their synagogues with choice plants and flowers, as 8 memorial of bank, we Murphy, of Grund I with the Omaha & St. Paul pay car last night and registered at ths Withnell.

An Omaha Industry That is Growing to Immense Proportions. Nestling modestly on the hillside, at the southwest corner of Fourteenth and Jackson streets, a BEE reportor in his rambles a fow evenings sinos came across the headquarters of one of the most important and flourishing industries in Omaha. This is the Omaha safe works, conducted by Messrs. Andreen & Valien, ir. which fifteen to twenty wmen find employ- ment at good wages the year round, and which turns out annually about two hundred safes, which are sent out to become the repositories of the weaith of Nebraska and its sure safe- guard against the encroachments of tire or robbers. A person who has not visited these works can have no idea of the rapid growth of this industry, which was such as to compel the firm to build an addition to their shops and increase their facilities generally. They now oocupy large, convenient and hand- some quarters, from which the ring of the hammer resounds all day long. An enormous amount of work was turned out last year for the state and county officers, and for business firms, ineluding vault doors and safes and iron work of all kinds. Among the regular patrons of this firm are the Burlington & Missouri river in Nebraska, and Union Pacific railroad companies for whom they have mude safes and done vanlt work; they slso made the vault doors f r the Millard block on Harney street, and the vault and iron work cn the Millard hotel, as well as putting in the big vault for the Nebraska national bank, doing all the shutter and vault work on Paxton’s wholesale grocery house, contracting for the shutter vault and wrought iron work for the new Millard bank and other importaut jobs too nu- merous t0 mention, but showing that they are up tothe work of tho best eastern factories and possess the con- fidence of the most influential com- panies and business firms in the west, the practical proof of which is the re- ceipt of their patronage, Since the enlargement of their works the firm is enabled to meet all orders promptly, and have started in on the manufacture of iron fencing, wire goods, iron shutters and all kinds of house work and castings. An iron foundry is located in connection with the safe works, "and the facili- ties for doing good work could acarce- ly be bettered, Safes have been sent out during the past year to every part of Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, and in faot to all parts of the country where the name of Andreen & Valien has ever gone, A splendid safe was shipped to the Bank of Genoa a few drys ago, and York ceunty purchased the magnificent vault doors, Tne Bee reporter noted a large stock of safes on hand in every style of completion, from the rough and un- couth frame work, to the beautifal and complete safe, which, after pass ing through the various hands, and receiving the delicate mechanism which opens like the 1obbers’ cave, only to a magic Sesame, comes out at last with a polish like ebony and painted so that it would ornament a queen’s boudoir. By the way the painting is done by Mr. John Lang, who is & first class iron painter and doea some “‘daisy” work.
