Tho Fire Fortunately Discovered in Time to Prevent Serious Damage, Prompt and Eficient Work by the Fire Department, The usual quiet which reigns about Tur Ber office on Sabbath morning, was yosterday broken by the roar of heavy wheels, the clatter of horaes feet, the clang of fire bells and sonorous whistling from the pump house of the city waterworks, the cause being the alarm of fire turned in from box 5, at No, 2, engine house, just in the rear of Tue Bee buildings. As usual the work in the office was suspended when tho evening edition of Saturday’s paper was worked off and the holiday which lasts until Sunday noon was begun. The counting room was closed by 10 o'clock and the doors lead- ing into the two buildings were locked, the establishment being loft in charge of tho night watchman, Nothing outside of the or- dinary courso of events transpired until toward morning, when the watchman no- ticed a man prowling about the prem- isos, appronching four times and as otten rotreating, Not suspecting anything wrong the man wont to sleep and was awakened some timo later by cries of fire to find the upper story of the brick building on fire. THE DISCOVERY of the flames was first made by Mr. Thos. Mulhall, the watchman at Louis Drad- ford’s lumber yard, who, about half past five o'clock, saw smoke issuing from the windows in the sccond story and ran to No. 2 Engine house from whichthe alarm was turned in. Instantly the whistlo at the water works was sounded,followed by the tolling of the bell and in less time than it takes to write this the entire fire department was speeding in thedirection of the spot indicated as the location of door forced open, the appearance of the stranger at &0 unusual an hour and to threats known to have been made by reckless and irresponsible enemles and boycotters of Tur Bee. Sufficient proof exists to war. rant & thorough inquiry into the facts by compatent officers and such will surely bo made and the guilty parties overtaken and punished, Of course Tie BEE was not seriously inconvenienced, though the annoyanco was great, and comes out on time as usual. This is the OND ATTEMPT to burn the Bk office, ihe first one be- ing succossful, At shout 5 o'clock on the morning of June 11th, 1871, the Ber office, then loca*ed in a frame building on Twelfth street, just north of the Met- ropolitan hotel, was discovered to be on fire and in a fow minutes it was tolally destroyed, there being only one page of tho paper eaved. The material of a Ger- man paper and a Bohemian paper, loca- ted in the same building, was destroyed. The outfit of the Bre was almost new and the insurance was light, Two men caped with their lives. Robert Anderson, formerly employed as a book-keeper of Tur Bre, was ar- reated on suspicion of having fired the building, buv the district attorney con- sufficient, and the indictment was not prosecuted. Subsequently Anderson was arrested for setting a fire to the Church ment Anderson was convicted and sentenced for two years. served out his term, and wards died in Des Moines. learned that in connection with Ander- son's incendiarism, certain parties were contemplating starting another evening not evidence enough was obtained to take action agalnst Anderson’s assocl- ates. | mm— @ A.

These same gen- tiemen were here last October for this same purpose—taking the depositions of several of the officials of this road. The testimony now taken in these cases ‘s very voluminous, amounting to thous- ands of pages, and all has not been sub- mitted, These gentlemen finished their Iabora Saturday and left the same even- ing for Washington. Mr. Wilson, the Washington, is quite noted as an attors ney and has served the United States in several important capacities, having once been a memb v of congress from Indiana, Ho is a law partner of Shella- berger who appeared before the electorial commissions in 1878, was coun=~ sel for Brady and Dorcey in the star route trials and was made a member of the Poland investigation committee, appointed to investigate the Credit Mo- bilier. Mr, Blair represents the depart- ment of justice at Washington, having served in that capacity for eight years, and has been counsel for the govern- ment in several very important cases. Furniture for the New Court House, About seven wecks ago Mr, H. T. Leavitt, the county clerk, forwarded to Mr. E. E. Myers, the architect of the new court house, and who resides in De- troit, Michigan, the rough plans for the furniture of the new court house. Mr. Myers promised to prepare the plans and specifications for the same and return them to Mr. Leavitt within three weeks. Since that time Mr., Leavitt has made repeated efforts to secure the plans but has not been able to do so. He says that the new building might have been ready for occupancy but for this annoy. ing delay. Mr. Leavitt is fearful that an effort is being made to give the work of building the furniture to parties outslde of Omaha and he is very anxious that Omaha men should have an opportunity of furnishing the building. He thinks that there are several firms in the city who could do the work just as well as anybody and just as cheap and hence should have the job. — ———— Religious Service Will be_conducted in the Danish language lecture room of the First Baptist church, corner of Fifteenth and Davenport streets.
