A line of hose was laid, but_before the water could be turned on Mrs. Baraett had ceeded in suppressing the flames. The fire caught from a gasoline stove. Mrs. Barnett was using the stove, the upper burners for ceoking dinner and the lower for heating wash water. The boiling overof a dinner ot extinguished the two upper burn 'he accident was not noticed anda 1 quantity of the inflammable fluid escaped and ran down into the dripping pan at the bottom of the stove, The oil became iguited by the vapor coming in contact with the lower burn- ers and the kitchen was filled with a sheet of flame.

Another information was also led by the same person charging him with the more serious offense of sending obscene and profane writing. The offense that the wretch has been guilty of fs of such & nature and so unnatural that the law does not cover it, and to prose- cute him upon the cl named is about the best thing that can be done. It has been shown that he was not content with lurking wround the place and scMbbling his vile stuft upon the walls, but had written a large num- berof the most shocking notes to the young girls, Belgin is a low-browed, coarse-featured, repulsive looking brute about twenty-three vears of age.

A Desperate Blacksmith Attempts to Kill His Wife and Then Himselfl THE UNION DEPOT PROJECT AGAIN. Horsethief Caught—Willlams Didn't Steal Sand—Minor Mentlon and Persons Elaborate preparations were made for a dreadful tragedy on the Row Monday night, and if there had been nothing t interrupt the proceeeings there would have been two people less in the world toda, All the events that transpired in connection with it transpived at a house known as No. 119 Pierce strect. [t is a disreputable place kept by a woman known as May Scott, alias *‘Red- headed May,” *“Big May,” and several other pseudonyms that denote the character of the woman and distinguishes her from other denizeus of the street. The woman has been married and her husband's name is Me- Roberts, He is a blacksmith, and for some time past has been working at his trade in Dakota, while his wife remained here, as he supposed, in respectable quarters, main- tained by the money which he says he regu- lavly sent her, He was kept in_ignorance of the true cnaracter of her employment until he arrived here on Sunday evening and found her at the place stated, The evidences of the business she was engaged in were too promi- nent to permit deception and the husband went away after a stormy scene. {esterday morning at an early hour he re- ned and endeavored earnestly to dissuade his wife from the course she was following and prevailed upon her to return to Dakota with him. She refused, and the man in desperation drew @ revolver and leveled it at her head. Before he could fire the weapon & girl named Peterson knocked it from his hand. It fell to the floor and sle seized it and ran out of the room before he could ve- cover himself. He then left the house and did not return until vesterday afternoon. He left a message for his fallen wife, informing her that he would leave the city and she need fear no further trouble from” him. To the girl to whom he delivered the message he said it was his intention when he went to the house to kill his wife and then himself. Deputy Marshal White was called to the house shortly after the attempt to murder had been made, but McRoberts could not be found, Continu el ion of the great clearing salo at THE BOSTON STORE.

No deflnite information seems to be within the reach of the public, and for mouths there has been nothing gained by in- quiring of those who are supposed to huve the matter in charge, andto be fully ac- quainted with the situation. The general assurance is given that the project is all right, and that a union depot will be built sometime, but this has cea to be satisfying to the curious and anxious inquirers. The recent move of the Clicago & North- western railway in securing the right of cer- tain streets and alleys in the vicinity of the local Broadway depot, has revived the con- jectures and predictions. Some look upon it as the euterinvg wedge which will break up the union depot schemo It is said that the Northwestern is planning on building o fine loca! depot, of which there is great need, and that the building of this will prevent the road from joiningin the union depot. On the other hand this is denied, as the ofticials of that road have already signed an agreement to join with the other companies whenever a union depot is built. The North- western realizes the great advantages which it gains by having alocal depov on Broadway, on the line of the motor, forit catches thereby a great deal of business. It is said that what- ever may be the result of the union depot scheme this local depot will be maihtaned anyw It " is n out that the Northwestern stands ready to put its money into the union depot at any time when the others are ready. It is not expected that the proposed improvement of their Broadway site will be made before spriug, by which time the fate of the union depot will be pretty well determined. If there is to be no union depot, then the North- western will put up a much ' tiner local depot thau it otherwise would, Another prediction heard in various circles is that the recent move of the Northwestern and the passage of the ordinance vacating certain streets, are really steps for the ulti- mato locating of 4 uuion depot on o uear Broadway, in the vicinity of the present Northwestern depot, instead of the site in the southern part, of tho city. It seems that the railway companies, while agreeing to the union depot project, are not anxious for the depot to be built, and while not outwardly opposing it, are still in fact killing it by dilatory measures and by caus- & complications in the arrangement of final details. One excuse is said to be that the time is not good for the selling of bonds. None of the railways care to excite the oppo- sition of the public by open opposition to the union depot, but such open opposition is not necessary, where there are so many ex- cuses aud objections which can easily be ut forth for an apparent justification of de- ay. It is conceded that if the railways wanted the union depot very badly they would soon get it, as they get the streets and other advantages which they chance to covet. The business men are getting impatient over the apparent juggling, and ave no longer 10 bequieted :al beiug told that it is & great enterprise, wi wany details, wud that the | hibits completions of arrangements must neces- sarily bo slow, In the meantime the local depots are a dis- | They would not be tol- grace to the city. erated in any healthy country town, Hon, W.

AnotherDeadlock in theSchoo1 Board The board of education held a special session ldst bvening for the purpose of pass- ingupon the numerous applicants for the position of superintendent of the city schools to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Prof. McNaughton, All the membe: were present, but noneof theapplicants were Before the matter was taken up the architects’ final estimates of work done by the contractors on the new school buildings were presented aud ordered paid. Wickham Brothers received §2,500, J. A. Murphy $1,300 and Herman & Brown 81,200, The board then got down to the gvork for Which the meeting wascatled. A Iist of all the applicants had been presented to the members written with a typewriter, filling a page of legaleap paper. A cart load of reccommendations of the verious candidates was presented butnov tgken up, the members having familairized them selves with the con- tents, There was uothing to indicate a coming storm, and when Mr. Blaxsim mildly suggested that it would be proper to proceed by ballot to select a superintendent, aud moved that an informal ballot be taken the suggestion was readily acquiesced in and the motion carried. The informaiballot resulted in Prof. J. L. Snyder, of Allegheny City, Pa., receiving two votes; Prof. A.O. Schotts, of Stuart, Ia., one; Prof. J. A. Leonard, of Youngstown, Ohio, one; Prof. A, Jackson, of Mt. Pleasant, Ia., one; and Prof, Ballinger, of Council Bluffs, one; The bourd then proceeded to a formal ballot. Prof. Leonard received three votes, Prof. Ballinger one, Prof. Schotts one and Prof. C. D. Rakdstraw, of Nebraska City. one, There was no choice, and another ballot was taken, with the same result, only Prof. Rakestraw was dropped and Prof. Snyder was substituted, On the third ballot Prof. Leonard received three votes, Jackson two and Ballinger one, Mr. Schoentgen, as chairman of the teachers’ committee, upon the request of the board, then made'a report strongly recommending Prof. Leonard, and informing the other mem* bers that the teachers’ committee had given the matter the closest personal attention, and of all the applicants forthe position they were convinced that Prof. Leonard was the most desivable and would give the greatest general public satisfaction. Another vote was taken, but Prof. Leonard did not suc- ceed in getting any more than the three votes, which were those of Messrs, Wells, Schoentgen and Hunter. Mr. Wells, as soon as the result was an- nounced, arose and moved that Prof. Leonard be elected by acclamation, Before the mo- tion was putho presented a number of very strong endorsements of the Ohio gentleman, written by prominent business men living at Youngstown, where the professor is well known and has long been counected with the public schools. Many of the letters were spontancous and all were highly commenda- tory. Mr. Wells stated that the letters were, many of them, answers to inquiries he had sent’ to prominent business men whose names he had obtained in @ com- mercial wa; and none of them from men named as reference from the pro- fessor., In fact, Prof. Leonard had not fur- nished any references or even made an ap- plicarion for the position, but Mr. Wells had heaed of him and written to him asking him if be would accept the position. When he had announced that he would consent to come the teachers’ committee had written nim_inviting him to come to Council Blufts, telling him that the board would' make ~no contract _with _any person until they had seen him. Prof, Leonard had responded to the invitation and had spent several days in the city and had created a very favorableimpression wherever he went. A vote was taken upon Mr. Wells' motion after ho had finished reading the letter and making the statement, but it showed the same deadlock that has attracted so much promiuence to the board since the present school year begun, After the vote was taken it was evident that thers was no hope of agreeing upon a superintendent, and a motion to adjourn was made and carried, The regular meeting oc- curs a week from Friday, and if thsre is not & compromise effected in - the meantime, an- other attempt to break the deadlock will be made then. It was not quite 10 o'clock when the board adjourned, and after the meeting another private session was held, but not in the school house, at which nearly all the mem- bers were present, It is swd that a_compro- mise was agreed uPull, and when the board meets again there will be no deadlock and a superintendent will be elected, It is inti- mated also that it will not be P rof.

They were four of a kind, they being the State of Iowa vs the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney, Chi cago & Rock Island, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago & Northwester railways. The petitions were drawn by At- torney General Stoue, and they asked for an order of court requiring these railways to comply with the schedule of freight rates established by the railway commissioners. The petitions™ state that the railways have been charging more than these maximum ratos, at least the petitioner is so informed.

The case of the state against Martin Will- iams, charged with hauling sand from the land owned by J. W. Paul, was called it Jus- tice Barnett's court yesterday afternoon. ‘The complaint had been filed by J. E. Hunt, agent for Paul, and the prosecution was- brought to arrest the wholesale appropriation of sand from Mr. Paul's premises near the river on this side. The state was represented by Emil Schurz, and the defense by Paul Seabrook. The case was tried to a jury and occupied a large part of the afternoon, There were many witnesses to testify for the de- fense and a fow for the prosecution, but it was clearly established that the defendant had taken the sand, It was shown by him in defense that he was only fol- lowing a general custom and that he land from which it was taken was not fenced and there vas nothing to indicate that Mr. Paul objected to having the sand hauled away. ‘The complaint charged malicious mischief, and the defense made o strong pomnt of the admission of the prosecution that no warn- ing had ever been given to tresspassers. The court room was filled with the friends and sympathizers of Williams, who is & poor man, and the prosecution had up hill business from the start. After the testimony was all in and the ar- guments concluded, the jury announced the verdict of acquittal without leaving their seats, It wus a splendid looking jury, com- posed almost entirely of business men, The case against Hughes will probably not be pushed. The prosecution has called suf- ficient attention to the fact that Mr. Paul siders his sand banks of sufficient value to protect them, aud there will probably be further depredations and no moresand hauled away without his consent.

King, the young man who precured a saddle horse from Paul Bouquet's livery stable on Broadway Monday evening for the purpose of viding down Main street, and for- got to return within the hour specified, was arrested yesterday at Glenwood by Sheriff Delashmutt. The arvest was made after the sheriff had read in the morning Bee an ac- count of the theft and a description of the thief. The sheriff had heard that a man an- swering the description of the thief was in the village offering to sell a saddle horse. He was arrested before the sale was consum- mated. He had given the name of King, and said he was from Omah; The ofticers in this city were communicated with by tele- phone, and the sheriff was ordered to hold the fellow until an ofticer could be sent after him. The horse was fully identified yester- day afternoon. Deputy Marshal Fowler will go down today and bring up the thief.

He said things were being carried on in a high-handed manner in some of the departments of the city, especially in the health department, “The sanitary commis- sioner is reported to have said that some people were throwing garb- age rin their wells,” said M Lowry. “If such is the case the sanitar missioner should have such offenders a Lowry roasted the sanitary sioner and the city physician in turn Mr. Wheeler also had & word to s He presented the analysis of the water from the well in question, and also of water taken from a fire hydrant, showing that the quality of the wuter in the condemned well, for drinking purposes, was better than that taken from the city hydrant. Mr. Morearty championed the cause of the city attorney. He said he believed in relying | awa upon_ the opinion of tne city physician in health matters, as he did upon the city attor- ney in legal inatters, “That's all right,”” retorted Mr. “and I would too if I thought the city physician knew as much about health and wells and water as the city attorney does about law. Idon't think he does,” " And then Mr. Ford branched off iuto a general dissertation upon the value of well water as a beverage and his opposition to physicians on general principles he whole matter was referred to the board of health for further investigation and consideration, There were two reports on the claim of C. B. Squires for street sweeping for the months of August, September and Octobor, Messrs, Shrver and Donnelly of the committee on strects and alleys presented a report stating that they had examined the work and had found that the streets were being fairly well swept, and that the work was bel di better than prior to the controves The members found also that a share of the blame for the poor work be- longed to the city oficials who had failed to proverly supervise the work. They recom- mended that Mr. Squires’ claim for the thre months be paid. Mr. O’'Connor presented a minority report, in which he alleged that the street sweeping contractor had grossly violated his contract with the city, and that the streets were in a disgraceful condition and a lot more things of the kind. Mr. O’Connor recommended that the claim for August be allowed, but that the bills for September and October be radically cut down, The reports were accompanied by letters from tho city _engineer, the chairman of the board of public works, and rom Mr. Squives, These communications varied as widely as the reports presented by the comwittee, Mr. Tilison said the work of Mr. Squires was all right, and M. Birk- hauser said it was all wrong, and the council had its choice, Mr. Kierstead of the board of public works also made a statement de- tailing the entire dealings between the board and the contractor. He expressed himself as satisfied with Mr, Squires’ work, and con- curred with Mr, "Tillson’s report. Mr. O'Connor spoke awhile and called a few people liars. Mr, Squires asked permission to reply to O'Connor's abuse, and the rcquest w granted. He had not gone far with h - planation when Mr. Blumer interposed an obiection and Mr. Squires was compelled to withhold his exp! ion, Mr. Birkhauser explained at length his rea- sons for opposing the paymeht of Squire's clayms. He said the machinery used by the coutractor W inedequate, and that the work in general was poorly performed. After a fearfully lengthy discussion the mi- nority report was rejected and_majority re- port adopted by a vote of 11 to 7. Mr, Olsen made an effort to have the report of the special committee appointed to investi- gate Sanitary Commissioner Morrissey's con duct of his office, taken from the committee of the whole. A protest went up from several of the members and the matter was shelved for another week. In the matter of grading California street the city engineer was instructed to have the grading contractor build a culvert required for the completion of the work. By resolution of Mr. Whecler the mavor was requested to appoint a committee, con- sisting of four members of the council and five citizens (the mayor to be chairman of the committee), to consider and report to the council such amendments as may be deemed necessary to the present city charter. On recommendation of the committee on claims the supervisors of registration were allowed 6 per day each for their scrvice This action requires the paymentof near 2,000 for regstrars’ services for the recent general election. An invitation to the mayor and council to attend the laying of the corner stone of St, Joseph's hospital on Sunday next was re- ceived and accepted. The muyor's veto of the ordinance granting the Union Pacific right to lay its tracks across Sixth street on Jackson, on account of omissions in the ordinance, was sustained. A. Dorn’s claim for 2,000 damages to prop- orty by the grading of Franklin street be- tween 'l'hlrtf'-film and Thirty-sixth streets was rejected, the city attorney holding that the claimant’s source of remedy was in tho district court. City Physician Gapen presented a com- munication to the council calling attention to the fact that a great many unfortunate peo- ple ave arriving in the city from the west ina sick and destitute condition and calling upon the city physician for food and medicine. He has been sending them to St. Joseph's hos- pital at the city's expense, but finds the plan an unnecessarily expensive one. He asked that the council make some provision for the aid of these needy and worthy applicants, The matter was referred to the committee on judiciary. The supervisors of registration will sit on November 21, 22 and 20 to receive the ad- ditional registration for the city election on Ford, December 2. The places of registration and election are the same as at the general elec- tion. William Hatch presented a claim of #3100 for injuries sustained by falling through a de- fective sidewalk on Burt street near Twenty- soventh on October | “The fire and polic mmission was author- ized to purchase the required hose carts and apparatus for the equipment of tho new engine houses, Awmongthe ordinances passed were: Grant- ing a franchise to the Ballou electric lamp manufacturing compauy; granting the Union Pacific right of way on Jones street across Sixth; making appropriatfons for the pay meunt of liabilities incurved ; grauting the Ne- braska telephone company the right to lay underground wires, O .~ “Albright’s Choice.” e e 1602, Sixteenth and Farnam streots Is the new Rock Islund ticket office, Tick- ets to all points cast at lowest rates IGRATION, Aerival of the Congressional Committec in This City.
