AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE. The Fitzgerald Block Oatches Fire in the Third Story. RATES REDUCED BY THE ELKHORN Mr. Porter and the Board of Trans- portation — A Heavy Verdicts Agninst the Burlington—The Township Law Invalid. [FROM THE NEE'S LINCOLN DUREAU.] At 2. m. yesterday morning a family liv- fng on the second floor of the Fitzgerald block on Tenth stroet were aroused from sleep by the discovery that the ceiling above them was ablaze. Word was sent to the de- partment at once ana the boys soon had a stream on the flames, which were quickly smothered, but not until the household ef- fects of the family were well nigh ruined. The ground floor of the block is occupicd by Mayer Bros., extensive whholcsale and retail clothing house, und the third floor of tho building was occupied by company D as their mory. It was on the third floor that the fire orignated. Company D had & meeting there in the evening and left a brisk firo in the stove, from which the floor becamo ablaze. In the morning Mayer Bros, found that water had done considerable damage, in places comig through the ceiling, and esti- mated their dwnage at $1,000. They carried 20,000 in insurance in twelve of tho leading companies, and_the damage dono to tho building oned by Mr. Fitzgeraid s ful covers The latter damago will not excee THE ELKHORN TAKES A TUMBLE. There was a great deal of comment in the city yesterday when it became known that a new Chicago-Lincoln rate had been ordered to o into offect dating yesterday over that line of road. It is very évident that the agi- tation of the past few months is bearing fruit and that the fear of the new Lincoln, Red Ouk & Des Moines road has not boen without good results already, The reduc tions ordered from Chicago to Lincoln on the different classes are as follows, by classes 138345A8 E m.l rate......100 84 57 41 85 40 35 28 25 921 New rate B0 65 44 B4 28 23 28 28 2015 19 This s something that will undoubt- edly make up the other lines entering Lin- colin und will materially enhance shipments over the Elkhorn line toward Lincoln, POTTER REFUSES, A communication was ree d from T. J. Potter, vice president of the Union Pnum' at the board of transportation rooms day, in which he refuses to comply with tho recommendations of the board in regard to the Waterloo overflow case. The board meet Thursday, and will take action to see that their order is enforged and obeyed. AN INTERESTING CASE. sting case in equity s on hearing. in the district court, The suit is brought to remoye a cloud on some valuable property in the city known us McNewtry's addition. The case is over the taxes in tho land that have been levied by both the county and the city for n number of years and have been allowed to go by default or have been paid in an ir- regular manner. The taxes are u perpetual lien against the property and the suit is to determine just how much is back on the tract 80 that the present holder can make them good and make deeds without a cloud to the title. The tract is a part of the original property of Luke Lavender that, in_tne di- vision, was described by notes’ and bonds other than the government lines and the as- S08S0TS for yeurs ussessed and taxes have been paid on the |rra;{ulurly described trusts until at the present time it is difticult to determine upon what parcels taxes are yet delinquent. The present owner of the tract, Mr, McNewtry, has bean through the books and at his calculation some $500 are yet de- linquent. hese he offered to pay, but the county treasurer was not satisfied that they would meet entirely the requirements of the law and hence the case in equity was brought to have the court go over the entire grounds and the old tax lists and determine just the amount due for a final settlement. As this would occupy a week's time it was mutually agreed by both sides in interest that the ma- ter be referred to Deputy Clerk Churchill, he to make examinations and report his find- ing of fucts at the next term of the court. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Chapman in_district court to-dey rendered a_decision he case of Hull and others against the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney railroad involving somo $10,000 worth of Lincoln lots that were taken, practically yvithout leave or license, by the road for $izht of way pnd trackage purposes. The judge found that thé plalitifts were ent ml to recover from the road the valué o property taken. THE LAW INVALID. Attorney General Leese in looking up the law and the amendments in regard to town- ship organization finds that the amended law passed last winter is void and useless. The partof the law that has puzzled the town- ship treasurers is in_chapter 27 of the cc piled statutes of 1857, In looking up this law Attorney General Leese finds that the bill was entitled *‘House Role 150, introduced by Mr. Cannon,” that it passed the ho reached the ' senate in ameud sections 02, 63, 70 and 85, and as such was read the’ first time. March 25 it was read the second time and referred to a committee. 1t came back from the com- mittee as ‘‘to amend sections 63, 70, 89, 9 and 97." and on final passage it was reported in the correct form, but when the president of the senate and governor signed_it, though it amended sections 63, 70, 89 97. Hence the attorney general find is void and without semblaicy Aun intel t the home r Tha; in this city yesterday dis lurwd the 'ml llmt the governor was on the gain from his recent sickness and indications were favora- ble for u speedy recoves v, although it will be several days before he can oficially at- tend to business in the executive ofice.

About four months ago, one Mrs, Werth, who resides ut the corner of South Fifth and Dorcas streets, was arrested on the churge of insanity, preferred by reltives, and for . soveral days was incarcerated in the county I THE jail. From this place she was released a few days later, the sherift becoming convinced that the charge was & wrong one dictated by malice, and that her arrest and imprisonment was brought about by the cupidity of her relatives, who sought o gain possession of the property owned by her, The specific act mentioned by her accusers, which tended to show that she was of unsound mind, was that she threw stones at boys, and afterwards the ad- ditional charge was made that she violen ussaulted the officer sent to arrest her. wus absolutely true, but on investigation it ‘was shown that the hoodlums living in the neighborhood had for a long time been in the habit of persecuting the poor old lady after her son had left for his work. They stoned the house and ussailed her with the vilesy of Innguage, 0 that ot lnst she lost her temper. and sought to rid her of her persecutors by orous assault upon thom. was hurt, but the bovs were thoroughly frightened and ceased- their persecutions. That night a deputy sheriff calied to serye & warrant for her apprehension, but being a stranger to her Mrs. Werth resisted the officer, and this was also referred toas an evidence of her insanity. Tt now seems that this arrest was a part of ascheme to defraud the lady out of her home and that her own son is thie instigator. Sheriff_Coburn states that the houso on Fifth and Dorcas stroets was purchased by Mrs. Werth and her son. Fred W. A. Werth; that Mrs. Werth paid $200 down on the place, through her son, supposing that he also paid # like smount aud that the loed was made out in their joint names. It was, however, mado out to Fred Werth and a few days ago he sold the property to Frank Dworak. ~The new owner has given Mrs. Werth notice to vacate and the poor lady does not know what to do, as she is liable to be sot into _the street any day. She applied to_the sherift yesterday and to him poured out the tale of woe, but asshe had trusted in her son to have the deed made out meerly and he had deceived her there is little chance of her being able to recover anything. Mrs. Werth claims that her son has treated her shamefully in this matter and she feurs that she will be sent to the poor farm. . e PRTENN Sick headache readily cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which tones and regulates the digestion, and creates an appetite, e FARNAM STREET WINS.

This Amount Saved From the Ruins ofa Burnt Vault. Chicago Mail: Over 81,000,000 worth of valuable papers and money were re- covered this morning from the iron vaults in the ruins of the Phelps, Dodge & Palmer shoe factory, and a dramatic scene accompanied the safe finding of the valuables, and a big sigh of relief escaped each of the partners in the great shoe house when the climax was reached. At 7 o'clock the three members of the firm, accompanied by a half-dozen clerks and several workmen, arrived in front of the bare and shattered walls, Anxiety was deeply depicted on the faces of all the party, and a clerk who entered the ruins, followed by a brawny blacksmith with a heavy chisel and mal- lot, was told sharply by Mr. Phelps to “hurry nlnufz. there.” Bang! went the workman’s hammer, and for a hall hour the heavy blows fell on the strong lock of the lower vault, made doubly difficult to break because of the warping of the iron. The little party closed up around the safe, and scarce room enough wag given the workman to swing his stout arms. When at last the bolt cracked and the ponderous door swung open in obedience to & heavy pull from many willing arms a rush was made for the inside. Adense volume stoum_ stopped. their hasty progress, and a wait wus an enforced necossity. When this was clearcd away hlr Phelps said anxiously: ‘“‘Isevery thing nuh ? It is,” came the short but reassuring answer frgm one of the clerks inside the vault, who was busily enguged in looking over the les ot books and choking himself with steam and smoke. *Aside from a slight wetting the books, papers, and monu are untouched,” he added, }\1 ousl; “Just § &l)uhond " muttered the head bonkkwpsr, pum,hlng a blue- conted policeman in the ribs, making the latter gasp for breath and laugh in turn. Then the work of removing the valu- ables began. A line was formed to an express wagon standing on the side of the street, and slowly the precious load the wagon was to carry was passed along the line. First came a pile of insurance papers without which it would be next to 1mpossible to collect the insurance. They were slightly dampened by water. The receipts of the day's business trans- acted before the fire broke out were next lit upon. There were several tin boxes full of paper, gold aud silv mony, in all amounting to several thousand dollars, although the paper money could not be counted because of its water-soaked condition. The books of the concern were next taken out, and the vavlt was closed while the express wagon and its precious lond, under guard was driven around to the tempo- rary quarters, where the books, paper and money were spread out in & well- heated room to dry, and afteyward sent to the bank. “We knew there was something val- unble in those vaults,” said a fireman engaged in tearing down dangerous walls, “*and on the night of the fire we just sonked the whole affair pretty thoroughly, the water seop(ng through the bricks at the top. If we hadn't lit- erally drowned it the iron walls would have heated to a white heat, and the contents would have been destroyed. We always look out for the safes and vaults in that way.” i “When we_two parted T felt thatI hiad taken cold,” said Thomus Takein- time, ‘‘and next morning I was hoarse indeed. But a 25 cent bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup fixed me up. Contentious women are slaves to head- ache; but twenty-five cents spent for a bottle of Salvation Oil will restore har- mony in the household. ——— Story of Pioneer Days. San_Francisco Correspondence New York World: In the superior courfat Oakland yesterday, during the trial of the suit of Nicholas Bee: who re- turns from South America after twenty years' absence to _recover n portion of the Livermore valley, which hus passed into the hands of his stepmother, w wit- ness—James B. Costillo—dropped the thread of an inlm- sting tale. He test a chest of guld was buried on the uuu'h of Dr. John Mar: in 1854 by the doetor and a Me servant. Dr. Marsh was the father of Mrs. W. W. Cameron, of Oak land. He was murdered in 1859 by robbers, who waylaid him. Accord- ing to the testimony given by Mr. Cos- ello, the chest containing the treasure was buried about one hundred yards from the site of an old adobe dwelling house. Mr. Costello subsequently said to the World correspondent that the exact lo- cation of treasure was known to himself alone. He said that in the early days. Dr. Marsh was troubled by robbers. One night they came to his house and ‘took #300 from him. They saw an old iron chest in a corner of the room, but on upmml),' it only nails were ex‘x)ued o vi Had they seraped aside the nails they would have found gold. How- ever Dr. Marsh was taught a lesson, and the next day, exacting a vow of secrecy from his servant, they buried the che Two years afterwards Dr. Maran was murdered and in 1860 the servant also died, contiding his secret to Mr. Cos- tillo. Thomas Av later came into possession of Dr. Marsh’s property after the latter’s death, but would never per- mit Castello to search ‘for the hidden treasure. W. W. Cameron, a son-in-law of the late Dr. Mursh, while not placing credit in Castello’s ability to find the treasure, there is no doubt that $20.000 or $30,000 is buried somewhere on the ranch. Dr. Marsh, he says, located on the ranch in 1837, and was robbed in all eleven times, which experience induced him to bury his money e S He Was Shown the Lavatory. Detroit Free Press: ‘“Have vou a awth-room in the house?” asked a Boston guest of & western landlord. ‘A what?” “A bawth room, a—a—lavatory,” “Blamed if I know what you're driv- ing at.” “He wants to clean up.” said a by- stander, better versed in polite lan- guage. ‘*Aw, that's it?” said the landlord. “You'd orter to of snid so at first; come along with me.” And he led the man from Boston out into the back yard, where there was a rusty tin pan and a pail of *‘roily”” water on the stump of a butternut tr > ye ai he said proudly; er mind to.
