Night before lust she was visited by two bold burglars, who entered her house through the kitchen window, ransacked ~ every room ex- cept her own sleeping apartment, and apparently took possession of the premises. About 2 o'clock Mrs. Bubeock was awalened by hearing waier running., She got out of bed, looked about, and on going to the bath roomn found the'two scoundrels occupying it. Ono of them had his clothes off and was reveling in the, to him, thrilling sensation of taking a bath. They quietly informed her to keep quiet and_leave them alone. In. mortal fright the old lady rushed back into her sleepiug apartment, locked the door, barred the transom and re mained there uutil moruing. After the fas- tidious ' tiieves got through enjoying themselves they put in the balance of the but did not find anything that would be of use, and went away empty banded. AMUSE » ENTS. Robert Mantel opened his engagement at Boyd’s last night and played “Monbars” to an audience that filled the house. He is supported by a well organized though not great company. His leading lady, Miss Charlotte Behrens, is a very handsome. graceful woman, . and sustains the fart entrusted to her, that of Diana, well enough, perhaps, buv she fails to encom- ass 1ts full scope. Marie Sheldon as adame Blanche seemed to impress the au- ditors - much more . favorabiy, artistically speaking, though . Miss Behrens' work was not withiout interest. - On the other hand, 1t had many commenduble poinis. However, she lacks in magnetism and. power. 1t may be, though, ~that her position certain restraints thrown _ about it which forbias greater effort. Such is often the case. Among the male support Kendall Weston, a very young looking actor, attracted ‘unusual attention. In the char- acter of Louis do Meran he showed himself to be posessed of unusual brightness, a pleas- ing manner, earncstness and eothusiasm. But the intense interest was centered in Mr. Mantel's periormance as Robert Monbars. Only when “he occupied the stage can 1t be said that the piece carriod with 1t the undivided ®ttention of the par- quet, dress circle and gallery, His presence and action seemed to have an effect not often produced and was 8o impressive as to iuvoke 'comment. He is one of the most powerful and at the same time consistent, natural and easy actors of the emotional school that Omaha people have over bad the pleasure of seeing. Thero is some question as to whether ‘Monbars" can be considered exactly suited to Mr. Man- tel's peculiar talents, but he certainly finds in it materwl out of which to construct a very artistic and entertaining orformauce. Kverything he does ears the stamp of itelligent conception, splendid judgment und careful study. At end of every act he was called before the curtain. Milton Nobles and his charming wife, Dollie Nobles, gave a repatition last night at the Grand of uheir opening bill, “Prom Sire to Son.” Counter attractions, caused quite a fulling off in their busiuess, still they drew a good audience and were well receivea. Mrs. Nobles has been sufferiug from iliness for several days, andin justice to herself ought to remain quiet, but bemg anxious to make their engagement here among old friends and admirers, she has shown pluck and endurance by gomg on and carrying her part as though she was enjoy- ing the best of health. Fatal Accident in the Bluffs, About 1:30 o'clock this morning an un- known man was killed by the cars in the Rock Island yurds in Council Bluffs, Sev- eral cars passed over him, completely sever- g the head from the body, aud otherwise frightfully mangling bim.' The man was about eighiteen years of age, aud is supposed to bave been a tramp looking for a chance to steal a ride. The corouer was notified and took charge of the remains and will hold an inquest this worning. ——— The 1. 0. O. ¥. Ball. The hall association of Goodrich ledge, I 0. 0. ', gave a grand ball at their hall on Saunders street last night, which was well attended and a success every way. Ex- cellent music was furaished by the Patri- arch's Militant band and a thoroughly enjoy- wble thue was bud by all. CAUGHT BY FALLING WALLS. A Lincoln Fire Which Nearly Ended in a Calamity. BRICK BUILDINGS COLLAPSE Six Men Injured, But All of Them Rescued Without Any Fatalitios ~A Boy Killed at Ne- braska City. Buaried In the Debris. Lixcoy, Neb., Sept. 5.—[Speoial Tele- gram to Tre Bee.]—The Kelley building, oceupied by McArthur, the druggist, and Barr, the jeweler, on O streot between Tenth and Eleventh, caught fire last night a few minutes after 11 o'clock. Owing to the dense volumes of smoke that welled up from the cellars of half a dozon buildings it was some time before the fire could be located, as every man was sure that his building was burning. When the firemen finally entered the Kelley building they tound the fire burning on tho joists under the first floor, and creep- mg up the walls between this and the three story _ building adjoining on the east and occunied by Parker as a boot and shoe store. The building west of tho Kelley building s occupied by Tommy Noonan as & saloon and was slightly dama- god on the partition walls, Tho fire was soon believed to be subdued and the department returned to headquar- ters, leavime a couple of men on guard. About 11 fire was again discovered, the smoke issuing from _ the building and the one ocoupied by Purker's shoe store, The department ogain responded and the Hire was soon extinguished. Just as the firemen were leaving the two buildings collapsed with a frightful crash. Loud cries and groans were heard, and for a time it was supposed that a number of per- sons were caught in the ruins, A rescuing party was organized and all except Dr. keum who slept on_the second floor, wore soon relieved from their perilous position. ‘fhe doctor was rescued about two hours afterward, badly bruised, but not seriously injured. The following is & list of the injured: Dr. Kelso, badly bruised about the body. Captain Preston, of the fire department, bruised about the body and head cut n sev- eral places, A. B. Hosman, fireman, head, chest and body badly bruised. George R. Sloat, fireman, slightly injured. Fred Stration, fireman, chest bruised. E. Fleming, olerk in Barr's jewelry store, badly burned. Several other persons’ received slight in- juries. No person is seriously hutt. The work of clearing up the debris which resulted from the collanse of the Cameron and the Kelley buildings this morning, has b pushed vigorously all day with- very :eptable results, Even yet the losses can only be esti- mated. Kel s building was insured for $1,500, which is half what it was worth, McArthur & Son estimate their stock at from £3,500 to $4,000, which they had insured for $2,50. Mr. Barr says that he has insurance to the amount of $4,000, which is but a small part of the value of his stook; however, much of both the above stocks will be saved. Mr. H:;rr had all of his finer goods in two heavy safes. A Mrs, Johnson had a dressmaking shop upstairs, and suffered some loss. The Cameron building was insured for £,500, Mr. Parker, who operated the shoe store therein says he has policies on his stock for $14,000 or $16,000. He can’t tell which the papers are in the ruins. His stock was worth more than that, but some of it may be saved. In the second story there were several offices and in the third & hall occupied_ by the Knights of Labor, the An- cient Order of Hibernians, the Hodcarriers' union and one or two other societi: Very little of the furniture or paraphernalia can be saved. ‘The two-story brick next east, owned by J. & D. Newman, was considerabiy damaged, nearly the entire west side being torn out by the tumbling timbers which rested on the partnership wails, ‘The total loss is estimated at fully $40,000. The irjured are all resting well this evening and no serious results are anticipated. Paying Off the Soldiers. CAnp Crook (Fort Robinson), Nev., Sept. 5.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The first of the field manceuvres took place to- duy, the troops going out in different direc- tions to meet usupposed enemy, They re- turned this afternoon and met a real friend in the person of Major Baker, paymaster, who is busiiy engaged disbursing the coin of the realm to the nation’s defenders at Camp George Crook, and will be so occupied all day -morroy ack train from Cheyenne arrived and will be the only transportation used in future field work, General Brooke has kindly consented to allow next Saturday us a day of sports, which will take place on the race track on the south edge of the camp. They will consistof horse races for the cavalry horses, foot races and other athletic sports. Mr. W. Avnin and family have ar- rived. Major Whipple came in yesterday, but his money has not arrived here yet. ' Miss Mamie Fitch came in yesterday on a special car and is the guest of - Mrs. Captain Hughes. Weather splendid. Division drills are the order of each day this week. There is anoticeable improve- ment each day over the - preceeting. one as the veteran officers brush up their memories of the d. when divisions were moved as compames are now and it all comes back vividly 1o them, as some of our long forgot- ven school day lessons appear” before our mind’s eye. And as the young officers, with a spirit of emulation characteristic of - “the cloth” bone up aud become pat in division tactics the drill smooths out its wrinkles and the different parts ol thé great whole glides along with less and less friction. The morning drills ~ are bearable as they take place before” OM _Sol gets settled down to business, but the after- noon exe 8 are aggravating. The sun beats down mercilessly and the wind usu- ally gets on a rampage and kicks up such a dust that when the command *‘right dress” is given it's hard to keep one's eye open long enough 'to see whether one is on the line or not, Another thing, in the afternoon the grass is 80 dry and Alppery thab it is almost impossible to keep dressed while marching in line. By the way, why would 1t not be a good idea for General Holabira to ue creepers to each soldier for use during summer eucampments on the froutier? “I'ie Robiuson troops bave a littie the best of the others in the way of vegetables, as they haye their company gardens to draw on daily, The troops from Omaha and Nio- brara have the advantage of the balance of the foreign coutingent 1n being n direct rail section with their posts, They huve rden sass’ shipped to them by the car- loud.

Hamilton Places Himself in the Hands of His Friends. THE WOMAN IN HARD LINES. She Oan Be Sent to the Penitentiary On a Half Dozen Obarges and Breaks Down When She Real- izes Her Position, A Complicated Case. Nrw Yonx, Sept. 5.—[Special Telogram to Tie Bre.]—It was the common opinion in the clubs and down town to-day that the brightest thing Robert Ray Hamilton has done of late was to ‘‘place himself inthe hands of his friends"—especially of his legal friends. When bis troubles were first. made public some of his old associates went immediately to Atlantic City to help him out of the scrape. To their surprise Mr, Hamilton refused to see them for some time, but at length e seemed to come to the con- clusion that his alleged wife was not all his imagination picturea her to be, and that possibly he had made more or less a fool of himself. Then he consulted the law firm of Root & Clarke, and let his friends gather about him. In an nterview to-day Mr. Clarke sald the marringe of Mr. and Mrs, Hamilton would certai :ly be made void, He had no doubt personally of being able to prove that the woman had been murried to Mann, Mr. Clark said that Mr. Hamilton would not aid the woman in the trial for as- sauit, but_would leave her to look out for herself. The charges under which she could be held and punished outside the ussault were many, said the counsel. In the first place, the substitution of the child came un- der section 151 of the penal code, where the punishment for counterfeiting an heiress is not lese than ten years in the penitentiary. The crime of larceny could also be estab- lLished against the woman, and both Mrs. Swinton and Mann could be held as acces- sories. Bigamy, t0o, could easlly be proved against her, and the other two were evidentiy acoessories to that orime. Inspector Byrnes had Mrs. Swinton and Mann bofore him more than an hour to-day. Of what went on there he would notsay a word, but he remarked later: ‘I know the mother of that baby. It is not Mrs. Hamilton. I know whero she lives and can get her. Iknow also its father. He is not Robert Ray Hamilton.” Later on the pair were arraigned in the Tombs polico court and remanded until Fri- day, Mr. Hamilton is stopping in New York with s friend, Charles A. Peabody. Mrs. Hamilton Grows Nervous, Arpantic Crzy, N. J., Sept. b.—|Special Telogram to Tre Bee.|—When Mrs. Hamil- ton was informed of the arrest of Mrs, Swinton and Joshua Mann on the charge of iracy in palming off on Mr. Hamilton own offspring a baby that had been bought for the purpose, she fiercely de- claimed against Mr. Hamilton’s friends and asserted that they concocted this story to alienate her husband from her. ~Subse- quently she calmed down, and upon learning that her confederates had made a confossion broke down completely and, throwiug her- self upon her bed, moaned and sobbed for two hours. Then 'she suddenly startea up and demanded writing material. Page after page was quickly filled and ns quic stroyed. Finally she returned to her bed, where she prostrated herself and apparently ‘was in a condition of utter nervous exhaus- tion. The Chain Complete. New York, Scpt. 5.—Inspector Byrnes' chain ¢f evidence against whe Robert Ray Hamilton conspirators is now cowmplete, the last link in the shape of the identification of the $10 baby, by the midwife who sold it, having been weided to 1t to-day. Joshua Mann told the inspector that Mrs. Hamilton had showed him @ will her husband had made in her favor. It proved that_in_tho event of his death bis money, family jew- elry and_plate should go to her and’ the child, and she was to be the custodian of the cnild till it became of age. “‘Ray once fell from his borse and broke his leg,” she remarked to Joshua. *He may fall again and break his neck, and then, Josh, L will marry you."” To'the mind of the inspector this indicates that Eva was not married to Mann. The in- spector will not give the name of the mother of the bogus Hamilton baby. He says she is, and was whon the child was born, a married woman moving in good so- ciety. s SR DESTRUCTIVE COAL FIRE. Twenty-five Acres of Anthracite Lands in Fiames. ScraNTON, Pa., Sept. 5, —What threatens to be one of the most destructive fires that ever oocurred in this region is now raging No. 2 colliery of the Delaware & Hudson C nal company at Oliphant, where several acres of anthracite coal are ablaze nearly two hun- dred feet below the surface. About three weelks ago there was an_extensive cave-in of the roof of this mine, followed by a tremen- dous explosion of fire damp, It is thought that fire was then communicated to the gas blowers which rush through the coal fissures and that the authracite was igaited in that way. Caving-in bis been eoing on steadily since that date until the caved-in area is nearly twenty-five acres in extent, It was not until yesteraay that the full extent of the fire became known and gangs of ex- Dert miners were at once detailed to fighv the flames, This 15 dangerous work owing to the rapidly accumulating 2as that may come in contact with the flames at any time and re- sult in & disastrous explosio; ——— SIMPLY NEGRO BUTCHERY.
