. {HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. CLOSED BY HIS CREDITORS Polack, the Olothier, Fails for One Hun- dred and Twenty-Four Thousand. A VERY UNEXPECTED EVENT. Unprofitable Branch Stores and the Credit System the Cause of the Break-Down — Mr. Polack Explains, A Financial Crash. Yesterday the starthing rumor was afloat about the city that Alexanaer Polack, the well known clothing dealer, had failed. 1t caused quite a commotion among the business men of this city, and 88 the rumor spread it caused the ut- most surprise wherever it was heard. Polack is one of the pioneer business men of Omaha, having been here twenty-two years. As his business grew in propor- tions here he started branch stores. The first one was at Cheyenne, and jn March, 183%, he opened one at Huron, Dak. Everybody sup- posed that Polack was doing a money- making business, and s downfal! was theretore a great surprise. The first public information of the fail- ure was made when his Farnam street etore was closed under papers secured by Thurston & Hall, attorneys of the mortgagees. Mr. Polack was interviewed by a Ber reporter last evening and made the fol- lowing statement of facts: “I have had no trouble 1 Omaha, but they jumped on me at Huron, Dak. Of course I knew that this thing was coming on, and I have done all that I could to hold it off. In the first place I secured all. of my confidential mone; bly putting itin my stock here and in Huron. The store that 1 had an interest in at Cheyvenne I sold a few days ago to my partner, L Greentree, and the store is still open and will pay all liabilities.”’ The clnsinpi rcreditors, who had mort- gages, are as follows: Merchants’ National bank,Omaha. . 841,500 00 Huron National bank. 00 Seligman, May & Co., N Howard bank, Baitimore P. J. Gerhardt & Co., New D. M. Stein Chicago.. i Jacobs & Sachs, Ci “The above,” said Mr. Polack- “‘makes the total amount due to confi, dential creditors about $64,000. Outside of that 1 owed nearly #%60,000. As I stated, the confidential money is all se- cured, although I am unable to state how much money my entire stock will estimate at. I tried to pull through, but it was impossible, and I thought it best 10 quit while 1 could settle my contiden- tial money. *‘There are several causes for this fail- ure. When 1 started the Huron store I went east and purchased my goods on credit. The crops failed in Huron and vicimty, there became a dearth of mum‘,}'. and the store did not pay. have to pay out big interest money in Huron, in New Yurt and this city. 'The branch stores have bee an utter failure, and it has been through them to a large extent that my failure ensued. Among the other main causes for the failure has been my inability to collect outstanding accounts, naturally were incurred through the credit system which 1 unfortunately es- lablished.™ The Failure at Huron. Hunoy, Dak., Oct. 9.—(Special Telegram to the I —The failure of A. Polack & Co. at Omaha carried down their branch house here. Late last night a local bank filed a mortgaze for $4,000, the Merchants’ National bank of Omaha filed one for $41,000, the How- ard National bank of Baltimore one for 84,000 and several other smaller ones in favor of private parties. The failure at Owaha i3 #aid here to be for $150,000. The Huron man- ager expects to open by the 1st of November. FOUND DROWNED. A Floater Found in the Missouri But Not Yet Identified Yesterday evening about as a B. & M. freight train was approach- ing the city a short distance above Gib- son, one of the brakemen, William Mar- tin, noticed a dead body lying in the river a short distance from the bank. The train was stopped and Martin and the other train hands, by means of the ashes seraper, drew the remains to the bank, Coroner Drexel was notitied and re- paired to the spot. The body was de- composing rapidly, the head being badly swollen. An inquest was held and a ver- dict returned thatthe deceased had prob- ably come to his death from drowning. The body was encased in blacd pants, a gray vest and a checkered coat. He wore a black felt hat drawn tightly over his head. His mustache wus red. The body was that of a young man but the age could not accurately be determined. In one of the pockets was found half a dozen advertising cards of Rasmussen’s restaurant, on South Seventh street: a silver-plated baage, on§rnn--l ‘Freight Brakeman, C. & N.W. R. R..,” with a long braid used to attach the same to a brakeman's cap; a bunch of bra one used for a caboose door and evidently a switch key, and stamped with the letters of “C., B. & Q.;” an oval badge of German silver, with a cross en- closed. The oval was inscribed with the words, “*All Saints’ Choir,” and on the cross was engraved the name **James E. Nelson,” Besides, there was a pocket knife, a number of small buttons and other articles of no value, In the choir of All Saints’ church there is or was a boy named Eschol Nelson, and the badge above referred to evidently belongs to him, though it is mnot thought that he is the party who found dead yet, itis thought to be a relative of his or a member of the s ly, because associates of young Ne in the vicinity of S neighborhood of which the dee must have frequented from the ke railroad badges found in his posse The remains will be interred by the county this morning. President Cleveland's Time-Card. The Chicago, St." Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway issued a special time- card for the train which will bear the presidential party from Minneapolis to this city, ‘Tho train will leave the former city at 8 o’cluck to-morrow evening, and will arrive at Sioux City at 7 o'clock Wednesd: morning. s train will have the "absolute right of the track over all other trains, and the latter will not be allowed the track thirty minutes prior to the special train, 1t will make no stops between Minneapolis and Sioux City except for water, fuel, and at cross- ings, and the rate through stations will not_exceed six miles®an hour.

There will be an attempt made {o- night to pass the cu{ waterworks ordi- nance at the council meeting. It is understood that to-.day the con- tractors will begin grading N street from the railroad to %wemyaluurth strect. ‘The ghooting match was poorly at- tended yesterday and but small scores were made. Charles Allen, the boy who was hurt Inshwcck by a B. & M. engine, is almost well, ‘The travel on the dummy trains yess terday would hardly pay for the service. William Weaver, of Muscatine, la., was in the city yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Weber, of Davenport, Ia., were calling on friends Suuday. Charles Hensen entertained a number of friends from Omaha yesterday. ‘The brick block on the corner of Twenticth and N street will be ready for occupancy about the last of this week. Jen Thorwald, a Swedish resident of this city, employed in one of the padking houses, recently received from Stockholm $7,000 as his share of a fortune left by the death of a relativ. Some of the boilers for Swift's packing house were put in position last week. A two round fiasco took place on the streets last night between a couple of business men. No damage was done. H. Zimmer, Fred Landes, Adolph C. Lutz and Kugene Gehring were the guests of Judge Reuther Sunday after- noon and all had a very pleasant time. PYTHIAN PREPARATIONS, Nearly All Arrangements For the Weck's Events Completed. The various committecs of the Knights of Pythias, which are making arrange- ments for the events of the coming week, met at the ofice of French & Clark, Douglas street, yesterday morning. There was a large attendance, and Chairman French presided. The various revorts of committees showed that allof the various arrangements were coming to a culmi- nation in a gratifying manner, and that everything pointed toward the affair as a big success. It was decided to offer pr for the best drilied Omaha divisions, and were set $100 for the first 50 for the second and $25 for the All members of the various com- to meet in full ntal headquarters ¥ third, mittees were reque uniform at the regim to-night. Restitution and Release. At the Union Pacific depot last night, just before the arrival of the west-bound overland train, Officer Dempsey arrested Fannie Carroll and her husband on com- plaint of Emma Betcher, and Mrs. Stein, who charged the prisoners with at- tempting to depart with dress material which Mrs. Carroll had undertaken to make up for the complainants, he de- fendants were on their way to Portland, Ore. As they had their trunks shipped ahead they cluimed thut they could not make restitution until they reached their destination, and as a pledge that the dresses woula be returned Mrs. Betcher was given an old watch and some money. Mrs, Stein received about $11.50 in money. ‘The couple was released and they boarded the train and left the city. Jailed As a Crook. William Bruner, who claims to be a farmer, but who is alleged to be a crook, appeared before Judge Berka charged with forgery. He was heid over to the district court under #$1,200 bonds. Bruner visited Woodbridge, the music dealer, Friday and decided to buy a $500 Knabe piano. Woodbridge thought that he had made a good sale, and _in con quence he took the supposed purchaser up to his house, entertained him during the remainder of the day, and gave him a soft couch to rest his weary head upon auring the night. Saturday Bruner came 1nto Woodbridge’s store and asked for paper for the purpose of writing a letter. He got one of the firm's letter heads and wrote a letter asking for en- tertainment elsewhere, and purporting to be written by Mr. Woodbridge. He was caught in Kis crookedness and cons sequently arrested. ‘The Metropolitan Cable. The Metropolitan Cable company has at last commenced to move. President Underwood has been in New York during the past month making arrangements and contracts for the manufacture of the necessary material, and the building of the lines. A large portion of the mute- rial is now on its way fo this city, and will probably arrive here to-morrow. President Underwood is also on his way to this citv. The oflicers of the company will not stafe what street they intend to open on, but they recognize the fact that the limit of their franchise will close in less than forty days from date, and that if they do mnot commence work before that time their franchise will be void. It is stated on good authority that the company will put in considerable con- struction work before frost sets in. e Newsboys and Bootblacks. The plan of the Omaha City Mission in changing the time of entertaining the boys seems to have been an admirable one, At 4:30 yesterday afternoon about twenty-five were on hand, Charlie Rey- nolds addressed the boys. They listened attentively and seemed to be impressed by the advice giv The subject of seeuring a newsbo and bootblacks’ home was proposed to them. A desire was exp ed by all that one be pro- vided. As soon as the mission can ascer- tain whether there are enough to warrant the eflort it will prosecute the work to completion, For fear of losing a_day’s work, many persons put off taking physic until S: urday. The better plan is not to delay but take it as soon as needed, it may save you a hard spell of sickness, 'If you want the most benetit from the least amount of physic without causing you any incon- ) loss of appetite or rest, take ick's Pills, Their action on the ive and vigor to the whole ystem and act in harmany with nature, i Brevities, Tom Murray, the builder of the par- tially completed hotel on Fourteenth street, has been arrested for violation of the city ordinance by obstructing the sidewalk with building material.

To the shadowy past, a tradition, is relegated the old valunteer fireman for he has sur- vived the necessity of his use and pro- gress would have to recede instead of advancing could the day of his prowess and valor be recalled. He will long live in the grateful memory of posterity for his bravery was heroism, and his life and limb were ever risked in the sa his fellow citizen's property and person without one thought of anticipated ward. © He is growing old now, is the old fire laddie, and time has stolen trom him hie supple vigor of limb and muscle of old, but for all that his fire 15 not con- sumed, but rekindled into tlame 28 bright as the polished brass on the old machine when memories of his red-shirted days of glory are recalled. He forgets his rheu- matic pangs, reminders of long forgotten colds contracted from over-heated fire races, and spins with vim his yarn of the days when the No, 1 and the Big 6 met on the level, neck to neck and the rival companies, with every energy bent and every muscle strained to its' utmost, sped on like the wind with but one ambition n the world, to be the first to reach the beckoning tlames. He will point you to the old trumpet hung upon the wail like the warrior’s sword, and regard it with pride, for through 1t he otten yelled the cheering cry that led to victory, ‘‘jump her; jump her, jump her down.’” A MIDNIGHT FLAME is discovered along joist and lumber.

The organization of THE FIRST FIRE COMPANY IN OMAHA “The Pioneer Hook and Ladder,” was founded upon necessity and effected by 1ts charter January 17,1861, T'he forma- tion of other compantes followed and their efforts in the protection of vrop- erty are matters of history, redounding in their credit, for bravery and self-sac- riti Still as viewed in the light of to- 's events, the old volunteer depart- ment was a crude affair,and that Omaha, which was thena wooden city, was not consumed entirely by the visita- tion of a great tire was more due to Providence in preventing it, than the ability of the firemen to cope with it. citicsin the perfection pir fire systems and the institution tments of professional tire- ime and attention distrs its led to new discover- 1 contrivances for the led the Omaha peo milar organization.

Wis the cuse in most of tie other cities country, 1t was hard for the old fireman to relinquish his hold upon the engine, diflicult to persuade him that machinery and horse-power were sup- plementing his use. Here, as elsewhere, he suceumbed at last to the iron disci- pline put upon him, and reahzed in time that the new order was by far the better. So he gradually dropped out, his_gratui- tous services eiu% rformed by paid nien, who made of his old pastime a trade, and the nucleus of the present department was formed, i asing with the city's growti until it has attained its present existence.
