A DARK NIGHT IN OMAHA. The City Left Without a Supply of Gas. bt GOING TO BED WITH CANDLES. Hotels and Churches Partially Left in Darkness— Resorting to the Tallow Dip and Depend- ent on Coal Oil The City Without Gas. The gas works people broke the sanctity of Sabbath yesterday in an endeavor to abide by the commands of the Great Creator is- sued some years ago regarding “Let there be " In the primitive and by-gone days of orders there was mno intricate machinery, damaged and warped by fire to combat the ingenuity and patience of man, and consequently the matter of bringing forth light was then much casier accomplished, as will be verified by the gas company. Saturday's fire demoralized the plant on Eleventh street, and shut off the supply for the street 1lamps and the patrons of the company. For few hours on Saturday night the company tried diligently to furnish the illuminate, but without avail and long before midnight gave up the task. No time was lost in repairing the damage, and long before the charre blackened ipterior of the works had gteaming and smoking a army of men put to rk on the bent and pipes and fire scorched apparatus. The men worked with & will throughout the night and all day yes- terday with the expectati at the furnaces could be lighted and the gas in turned on into the mains. But the task was beyond their best energies and when the shades of night began to gather it found the city with- out a supply of the illuminating commodity, and never before in the history of Omaha have candles met with such a profuse exhibi- tion of revercnce and coal oil deemed a pretty was the city left in Churches, ment were greatly embar s Pax proprietors being possessors of their own electrie light plant experienced no- difficulty in lighting up_the rotunda and dining room of the building, but when it came to furnishing & glim _for the rooms of their guests considerable trouble was experienced. Tallow candles were resorted to, und us cach guest stepped up to the office desk to get his key he was handed a candlo with instructions how to use it. Many laugh- able remarks were exchanged, and the wicked and story telling drummer took ad- vantage of the occasion to reel off a y It is understood that the Paxton proprietors in- tend to fortify themselves against future ac- cidents of this description by extending their electrie lights to every room in the house. The Millard proprictors did everything in their power to overbalance the annoyance, od pretty well. As Clerk Daven-: port refused to loan his diamond for a head- ight in the dining room two strong and pow- erful clectric lights were put in, and another ed in the rotunda, The guests had to with candles in their rooms, Can- also used at the Arcade, Windsor, and the other hotels. In business places where gas was used solely, the proprictors took precau- tions to locate candles and lamps on the shelves as a guar burglars and stationed their clor stores to wait upon nocturnal customers 4 ‘welcome them with a dose of cold lead if the circumstances demanded. The German theatrical performance ad- vertised for Boyd's opera house was post- poned owing toa lack of gas. Ticket pur- chasers were informed that they could cither have their money refunded or come again Wednes cht, when the play will be pre- sented. The house is sold to-night for “Dixey,” and if the management find by thi morning that gas cannot be furnished, they will put in incandescent lights in time for the entertainment to proc Manager Jones, of the Grand opera house, 18 on the alert and assures the public that the house will be lit up to-night, gas or no gas. Locomotive headlights and calcium lights will he the illuminators. The_usual Sunduy night entertainments took place at Metz's and the People’s theatre, these halls being furnished with the electric light. Services were postponed in the most of the churches, but the congregations of the West- minister' Presbyterian and First Baptist churches prayed and praised by the aid of oil lamps. The newspaper and telegraph oftices also came in_for their share of trials and tribula- tions. Coal oil was substituted for the v departed gas in the BEE establish- ment, and this paper wi aid of the wick and the At alate hour last night a reporter visited the gas works and was assured by the men in charge that there would be an abund- ant supply of was to-night. The pipes and machinery have been re fires have been lit in several of the furnaces If necessary, gas in un unpurified form could have been furnished last night, but the man- agement decided it best to hold off and give their patrons the pure quill to-night. Re- pairs on the building will go on without delay and no more trouble is looked for. Ao THE PRESS CLUB. A Large Meeting at the Barker Yesterday—Furthér Movements, The enthusinsm manifested by the active workors of the Omaha press in favor of a permanent press club was demonstrated yesterday afternoon at the meeting at the Barker hotel. There was a large number of nowspaper men present and each one had valuable suggestions to offer. The interest manifested was most gratifying and within the next month the club will undoubtedly bo quartered in as fiie rooms as those occupied by any similar organization in the country. The constitution and by laws again came up for argument aud the interpretation agreed upon was, that to constitute an active mem- bership & member must be cither a regular salaried employe of the public press of Omaha or a regular contributor to the local papers. Local correspondents to foreizn papers, if not regularly employed on local journals are ineligible to membership. The board of directors was elected and con- sists of the following gentlemen. Mess Gregory, Snyder, King, O'Brien, The board are empowered to finances of the organization and look after all matters pertaining to the welfure of the club. All lcases and contracts must be andited by them, A committee consisting of Messrs. Riley, Pomeroy and Hallett, together with the divectors, coustitute the rooms committee, They are to make a final report at the next meeting. In all probability club rooms the new Paxton block at the corner of § teen and Farnam streets will be selected, as Mr. Paxton has offered the most liberal of terms. The financial condition of the club is in a most excellent condition. A labge amouut of money is already in the treasu and many of the prominent gentlemen of the city have sent in liberal contributious. There will bo no lack of funds, as every merchant and citi- zen in the city are heartily in favor of a press olub. By its maintenance the people of Omaha will have better newspapers and the pewspaper men will be more watchful than ever of the city’s interests. Mr. E. C. Suyder, of the Excelsior, is the secretary of the club and all applications for membership or communications must be ad- i By a unanimous vote he is v reject the applica- tions for AllL eligible to ‘become charter members must sigu the con- stitution and pay their initiation feo of § on or before Wednesday, November 18 ftor @ vote of thanks was passed to Mr, Blfifl'h for courtesies exténded an adjourn- nt was taken until Sunday upext.

A couple of anarchists living on Twenty- sixth street, near Harris & Fisher's packing house, elevated on their shanty yesterday a red 7, draped With crape, in mourning for the four executed anarchists, The flag had been up but a short time when a large crowd gathered, mainly toughs, who began to make preparations to raid the house with brick bats und clubs. Some of the more sober- minded ones telephoned to the police station about the impending trouble, and the patrol wagon, with a squad of six policemen, was sent to the scene. On arriving on the spot the officers determined that the best way to avoid the threatened row was to remove the cause. Accordingly they climbed to the top of the house and took down the crimson rag, amid the loud cheering of the crowd, For o few moments their delight over the supposed harmony of sentiment of the police caused them to act more like madmen than rational beings, and they almost trampled each other under foot in their efforts to rush forward to aid in the arrest of the anarchists. It with diffi- culty that the police tinally drove the crowd back. When it v discovered there were to be no ar , the disgust of the would-be mobbers was expressed in the most emphatic terms, and was a source of great amusement to the police. The red flag was taken to the police station and stored among the relics. SOUTH OMAHA NEW James P. Hill, of St. Paul, Ne friends in the city. Henry Morgan, of Rawlins, Wyo., is at the stock exchange.
