VICTIMS OF ASPHYXIATION, Three Young Women Rescued From Death. DIDN'T TURN OFF THE GAS. Futile Efforts of Chlefl Seavey to Pro- tect Prisoners—Estimates Allowed For Eighty Thousand Dollars of City Improvements. ¢ Close Call to Death. The house occupied by Frederick W. Leo, No. 208 Ninetcenth street, was the scene of a sensation at an early hour yesterday morning. For a time it was thought that the iives of three young flrlu had departed, and even yet there s no certainty that the dark messenger will not call them to the shadowy shore before many hours. 1t was a case of asphyxiation, the usual ‘‘gas-turning on’’ in a bed-room causing the trouble. * The names of the girls are Anna Bloom, ‘Tlllie Seaberg and Tillie Bloom, The first two are servants in Mr. Whitney's family, who occupy apartmentsin the house. The latter, a sister of the first named, came here on Saturday from Sulton, Ia., to visit her sister and to scek employment which she would have received to-day. She had been sick for several weeks and to this is attributed the cause of last night's close call to fatality. The cir- cumstances of the cace are these: Be- tween . three and four o'clock Mrs. Charles 8. Whitney heard moaning and grounn from the lower part of the house. he awoke her husband and he descended He found that the from the servants’ bed room which is about 8x8 and located in the northeast corner of the house. Mr. Whitney rapped on the door, but receiving no reply burst it in. There a horrible sight met his aze, The three young girls were on the Hoor apparently dead. The room was full of gas. In the meantime Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Lee came down stairs, ‘The three windows in the room were thrown open, and Mr. Havens, a near neighbor, was called, while Mr. Whitney ran for Dr. Dysart, who lives in the next block. Upon the argival of the doctor the three girls were taken into the dining room, just across the hallway, and efforts made _to restore them to consciousness. Dr. Dysart desiring assistance sent for Dr. Denise. The physicians and others at hand worked for four hours when Anna Bloom and Tillie Seaberg began to show signs of life, After another hours’ labor Tillie Bloom wus somewhat restored. Application was then made to the Chuld’s hospital for the reception of the girls but _owing to its crowded condition only one could be taken. Tillie Bloom being in the most precarious state was re- cvived and she liesthere now at the point of death. She is kept awake by stimulants, but the physicians think she will recover. 'lillie Seaberg was taken to the home of her brother, John, who 18 a clerk in A. D. Morse's shoe store, and resides at the corner of Davénport and “Thirty-first streets, The latter two girls are out of danger. Anna Bloom is the only one who as yet gives any account of the affair. She says she remembers turning off the gas before the three re- tired. During the morning she heara a noise and started to get out of bed, but fell on the floor. Her opinion is that her sister got up in the night-time and endeavored to light the gas, but being unused to 1ts working failed and left the jet open. When the girls were found Anna Bloom was ir alf recumbent i to the basement. noises came a osition, her head lying én her knees, illie Bloom was lying with her fnco ainst the wall, and Tillie Seaberg was lying on her back with her hend negr the oor. The girls had evidently made an effort to get to the door, but fell uncon- scious_before they could acomplish it. Mr. Lee is absent from the city on business. Mrs. Lee says she did not know that her domestics had & visitor, because they returned late at night. Had she known it she would not have permitted the three girls to have slept in the same room together, but would have provided other quarters for the visitor. ~ All of them are young, ranging in age from sixteen to twenty years. PUNISHING PRISONERS, Bomething About Blankets and Arrests by Special Policemen. Some time ago Chief Seavey notified the council of the necessity of heating the jail, now that cold weatheris ap- proaching, but the notice so far as the chief is concerned was ignored, though it was learned that some of the members of the council had calied upon A, L. Strang and that that gentleman had fur- nished an estimate as to the cost of heat- g the place. This estimate has not yet been acted upon and it is said that a wait is being mude to receive another esti- mate. Inthe meantime the prisoners are now suffering at night. In consideration of this fact the chiet yesterday made a requisition on Comptroller Goodrich for about twenty-five blankets and half a dozen cots. ~ With these, he thought he could make comfortable some of the r wretches who are now dragged in at mghg, scantily clad and some without coats or vests, But the requisition was not honored, on the ground that one of the committees of the council would have to take action first. Thisleaves the chief with but half a dozen dirty and disgust- ing blankets to protect his prisoners dur- ing the cold at night. Some time ago a screen was requested by the chief to hang on the iron lattice work which separates the cells from the “juil office. This was done to keep the wind from rushing from the outside into the cells, as also to hide from the prison- ers whatever might transpire in the oflice. For the reason above specified the request was refused. The chief cannot tell when he will be able properly to protect the unfortunates who mghtly come under his charge. Yesterday morning the following order was issued by that gentleman: From and after this date all block watch- men and special policomen making arrests without & warrant will, instead of calling tiie trol wago or bringing their prisoners to the all turn over their prisoners to the nearest Tegular police ofticer on his beat. It will be the duty of the police ofticer to thoroughly investigate the matter and unless he has rea- .80n to believe that the prisoner has com- mitted afelony or that the brisoner was violating tho laws of the state or ordinances of the city in the presence of said special po- liceman he should be immediately dis- charged. 1f on the other hand the regular Imhce officer thinks the prisoner should be locked up, he should take “the name, locauon and residence of the svecial policeman (if arrest is made in the night time) and inform sald special policeman that he must appear at the police court the following morning atYo'elock as complaining witness, The regular police officer shonld then send the ?l‘lwner to the jail and immediately report ully to the captain in court and in regard to the matter. Captains and seigeants will see to it that this order 1s strictly enforced. By order of W. 8. SeAvEY, Chief of Police. By way of explanation of this edict the chief said to & BEE reporter that it was absolutely necessury, The block and special ~ policemen had had full sway in their districts, They were hired by saloon and garden kecpers and business men 1n blooks,and could patron- * ize the bars as frequently as they felt -disposed, and get full and thus incapaci- tate themselves for business. When in thig condition, they frequently made arrests from which no conviction ensues sud from which u great deul of expense and trouble ensue. Yet, these men are under the chief’s orders, but cannot be seen as a rule, because they are nerally on duty at night. The order referred to, will, the chief thinks, in a measure bring them to realize a part of their duty. ——— BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS, Nearly Eighty Thousand Dollars For City Improvements.

Among the substantial business enter- rises of the capital city the Bankers Life Insurance company of Nebraska is rapidly advancing in popular favor wher- ever the merits of the company are pre- sented. The company comprises some of the wealthiest and most substantial capitalists of Lincoln, the management being in the hands of W. A, Lindly and the Richards Bros. Their plan of organ- ization ana method of writing vpolicies give full guarantee life insurance with old time security at co-operative cost. The fact that old "time insurance is re- garded as 'tqo expunsive, operative insurance lack well known, and the Banke; surance company of Nebraska has been organized with the view of avoiding the weak points in both the old line and as- sessment plans. This company proposes to collect eac! r just enough and no more to enable it to pay its death losses d provide the necessary rescrve to ke the payments of its policies an ab- solute certainty. The company hasthree funds. The mortuary fund is for payment of death claims, and can be used for no other purvose, The reserve fund and its accumulations is to meet claims of any that may arrive in excess. in other funds. The expense fund is the amount paid to the company for con- ducting the business. In this company he expense premium is less than one- fourth than like cost in old line com- anies. The policies written by the ankers' Life Insurance company, of: Nobraslm have-no conditiopal clauses by which % cotn anys evade paying the policy in full ‘at death, The policy is a guarantee to the holder for the tull amount for which it is written. The table of rates show that the expense of insurance 1 this company 18 less than one-half the expensein old line com- panies. Premiumsare payable quarterly and tie policy is renewed and extended with each quarterly payment. Every effort has been made by this company to reduce the cost of insurance to the low- est figure possible that guarantees abso- Inte safety to the insured. The company Lelieves that 1t has the best, cheapest and most equitable plan of life insurance that can be produced and invites the closest scrutiny asto its merits, The company has secured as general agent Mr. R. L. Livingston, a gentleman of large experience in life insurance work and thoroughly posted. Labors of the Board of Education. In conversation with a reporter yester- daymorning,Prof. James, superintendent of schools, stated that when the new school board came into existence it had a herculean task beforeit. There were new buildings to be provided, new teachers to be selected—in itself an arduous un- dertaking—new methods to be adopted, when necessary, and, in fine, a host of matters, both in general and in detal, that seemed almost insurmountable. But by united effort, harmonious action and dividual disposition on the part of each member of the board to do the utmost that in him lay, a result has been at- tained of the most gratifying character. ‘The teachers, one and all, are in accord with the board and asa consequence friction has been reduced to a minimum and the schools are in excellent working condition. ‘I'o accomplish this the superintendent says, required an incessant amount of labor, so much so that every night in the week, except Sunday, the mdnight oil could be scen burning . the rooms of the board. Yet other tedchers are to be employed until 190 instructors shall be furnished in furtherance of the city's cducation. Already the major portion of the dilliculties has been swept away, and it i3 fully expected that the results will be seen soon in a manuer that will not only redound eredit to those who have the schools in charge, but in a way which will be welcomed by the parents of the thousands of children in attend- ance. Are You Going East? The Limited Express of the Michigan Central, “The Niagara Falls Route,” which leaves Chicago at 3:10 p. m, every day, is in many respects the favorite train East, on account of its splendid equipment, admirable service and fast time, for which no extra charge is made. It carries superb Wagner Palace Sleep- ing Cars, running through without change to Toronto via the Canadian Paciiic, to New York via the New York Central & Hudson River, and- to Boston via the Boston & Albany railroads. Ni- agara Falls is vassed early in the morn- g and the train halts several minutes at Falls View, where the scene is un- rivalled, ———— A Notavle Trio. ‘The morning train for the west carried H. F. Farney, the celebrated sketch art- ist of Harpers,’ Charles H. Neihaus, one of America's great sculptors, and O. P, Aukeny, the well-known mine superin- tendent of Deadwood. . The first named goes to the Pacific coast to make “'pictures” for the great publication he is connected with; Mr. Neihaus is called to San Francisco to consult with parties there regarding the proposed Lick monu- ment, and Mr, Ankeny 1s on his return from a big speculative tour in the east.

What the Knights of Pythias Propose w0 Do, An imposing feature of the reception of President Cleveland in this city, Octo- ber 13, will be the fraternal greeting to his excellency on the part of the Knights of Pythins. The president has been & member of this order for several years, haying been introduced to the mysteries of knight- hood in Buffalo, N. Y. It is the intention to request Mr. Cleveland to review the Pythian procession which occurs in this eity during the ses- sion of the Nebraska grand lodfe and on the day of the president’s arrival, The programme has not been fully de- cided uvon but the skeleton already pre- pared will give a slight idea of the pro- ceedings, The president's party is booked to arrive here at 11 o'clock in the morning but _earncst efforts are being made to 8o alter the arrangements that the distinguished guests will reach here at 10 o’clock. If the president aceepts the invitation to review the knights’ procession, and 1t is very probable that he will, the visi thousands will have an excellent oppor- tunity of seeing the chief exccutive and the leading lady of the land. Previous to the arrival of the presidential train, the several divisions of the uniform rank, Knights of Pythias, and members not belonging to the uniform rank, will be formed in a single column from the depot up Tenth street. Atdhe depot the. guests will be met by the committees appointed by the board of trade and an escort composed of the chief officers of the uniform rank, mounted, will conduct the distinguished party up the long line of gallant knights to the east steps of the court house, from which the procession will be reviewed. The knights are acting in conjuuction with other committeces appointed by other powers and by no means desire to exhibit any selfishness in the reccrtion of the president. It is however, thought by many, that nothing could be more x\prru\)ri)\tl‘ than that the organization of which Mr. Cleveland 1s an honored member, should be accorded the rivilege of taking a great share of the ead. The appearance of the knights upon this occassion will be one of splen- dor, and the entite number of knights in line will probably be 5,000. I'he Omaha and Nebraska No. 2 regi- ments will alone have a body of at least %0 in line, while the number from other states will be plentiful. At this time it cannot be stated the exact number which will be in attendance from other states, but it is an assured fact that Illinois will furnish 150, lowa 250, Kansas 100, Indi- ana 85, Ohio 55, Colorado Wyoming 27, Missour1 165, 'The promise is made th d of thirty Sir Knij, be p t from New York City, and also one from Albu- querque, N.

DURBIN, Nothing has been heard from John E Durbin, whose home is at 1703 Harney street, since the thirteenth of last July. He was then on his way to a district in Illinois to secure evidence to enable him a pension. Mr. Durbin is about years of age, five feet ten 1nches in ight and his place of business was in a feed store on Fourteenth street, oppo- site the Paxton, CARTER. The ten-year-old son of Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, who resides at Twenty-seventh and Dodge streets has been missIng since the sqldicrs’ re-union, when he wag: en- gaged 1n sclling peanuts on the tamp grounds. He has dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a scar over one of the latter. —r 3 New Infirmary and Hospital. After October 1st the Omaha Medical Institute will occupy mew quarters in the block just completed at the north- west corner of Thirteenth and Dodge streets. Dr. McMenamy, the proprie- tor, will establish an infirmary and hos- pital in connection, and add many new feutures to the business. An establish- ment of this kind has long been needed, and is a good move on the doctor’s part. o —t———— Bigotry on Shipboard. Captain O'Donahoe has just returned from Ireland, having left here August 9. He reports a pleasant trip, although the voyage home was rather rongh. The captaln says that he came over on the Cunard steamer Aurania, and that there was considerable xcitement on board owing to ‘the of- ficers refusing to allow any one but a representative of the Church of England to hold religious services on bourd. A Catholic priest and a Methodist and Presbyterian minister were refused the privilege of doing so, and the conse- quence was that the passengers held an indignation meeting when they reached New York, Coming to Omaha, Messrs® Meagher & Sproat, general agents for Diebold Safe nnd Lock Co,will on Oct. 18t open their store in 1415 Far- nam st, and will be fully prepared to fur- nish safe and bank work of all kinds, Skipped the. There was quite an excitement on Cum- ing street Saturday night when it was discovered that the Hale brothers, graa- ers and excavators, had left for parts unknown, leaving anumber of creditors. Their employes are the principal suffer- ers, the amount due them "heing over three hundred dollars. The lnst work the Hales did was excavating a cellar for Edwin Davis, corner of Fourteenth and Davenport streets. On Tuesday last they sent their teams into lowa and on Satur- day they drew their money from Mr. Davis and left with their families, Mr, Davis has consented to pay the men out of his own pockel Collsion, About 11:30 Sunday night, a party of toughs got on street car ilo. 20, which was standing on Tenth street near the upper Union Pacific crossing, and let the brakes loose. There were no horses attached to the car, and it ran down the street to the lower crossing, where a_collision occurred with a freight train. The result was a badly smashed street car. Fortunately no one was on the car, it being left on the street while another car was being placed in the barn, The smart young men made their escape through an alley leading to the street. ————— Going to the Wedding. Colonel Chase, Mrs. James M, Wool- worth, Miss Menie Woolworth, Miss Fannie Butterfield, Mr, Paul Horbach and several other Omahans left for Santa Ana, Cal., last night to attena the wedding of Clem C.
