Deadwood Laborers Stranded in Omaha—The Investigation of the Plumbing Inspector's Affairs ~Other Local News. Another vietim of an accident in the rail- road yards lios al Heafey & Heafey's under- 4 taking rooms, and & young companion lies at S\ his home with his scalp frightfully torn and lees soverely brulsed, yet happy withal, be- cause by the merest chance, hoescaped a hor- rible death under the merciless car wheels The accldent occurred ing on the B, & M. swit the west .end of tne Union Pacific bridge, whe switch engine No. 172 struck George Rembkos and a boy named W. M. Fantnant, and the former was fnstantly killed. It seoms that Remkos and the boy were walking down the main track carrying large pleces of sheet iron on their heads, and the engine with a cor of cinders was oing in the same direction on what 18 known as track No. 8, but which runs parallel with the main trask and opens upon it just below the bridge. As th o came up behind them they were seen on the other track, and just then the fircman, on whose side they were, step- ed down from his seat to shovel some coal nto the firchox, A few seconds later, the engineer saw o piece of {rom ‘he other side of the —ahead of the foot-board on the front end of tho engine. It was apparently be- ing carried by someonv, and al- though the engineer immediately reversed his machine, the man was struck before the engineer could soe him. Tho man fell squarely across the track, with his neck across the rails. He was pushed a fow feet and the engine and car then rolled over him, the last wheels of the rear truck of the car beingon bim when brought toa stop. The car was pulled ahead a few feet to clear the body and the coroner ‘was notified, The switching crew wa Staulters, foreman; B, S ¥d. Shriner, fireman, and_Thomas Stolicker and John Sammon, brakemen, all of whom weére subpanaed to attend the inquest. From the stories of those present atthe time of the accident, together with such infor- mation as could be gathered from the boy in his naturally confused state it is supposed that the two thought that the train was com- g up on the same track on which they were walking, and to avoid it they stepped over to the other track just as it was upon them. They did not look behind them owing to the load's they were carrvinz on their heads, as well as sacks of old brasses and old metal of various kinds which they had. was alittloahead and stepped on k, while tho boy was apparently ust about to cross the rail when the foot- hoard struck him and knocked him out of harm's wa He did not appear to be ser- fously injured, and was removed to his home near the corner of Pierce street just east of the tracks, whero tho company's physician was ealled to attend him. Remkos was completely decapitated, and the headless trunk was rolled several feet be- yond where the head was left. The rpper portionof the trunk was badly crushed and tho hands and forearms mangled, ‘The wheels passed over the back part of the head arushing it 1o 8 jelly and seattering the brains along the track,while the flesh was torn from one cheels, leaving the bone bare, Tho deceased was a Bohomian, thirty-eight yoars of age, and leaves a wife and five chil- ilron. They reside nour the tracks, between Pacific ana Pierco streets. News of the avful sffairreachod the eurs of the poor woman before the mongled remains of her husband had been removed, and she hurried to thespot, leading three of her little ones, the oldest of whom was not six years of age. Several of the rallroad men and others who bad been attracted to the place tried to keep her back, but_sho fought her way throug the crowd, sobbing and moaning most piti- fully. Shehad almost roached the corpse when a policoman kindly but firmly barred her way, and a number of sympathetic neigh- bors fiually induced her to return home, The remains were taken in charge by the undertaker by direction of the coroner, who will hold an inquest as soon as he is through with the Bori.stein case. mado upof J.

A plcturesque crowd of some forty Cana- dian day laborers in toboggan suits drifted 1nto the city yesterday in search of some one who would send them to Chicago, Their story was briof. They said they had beon working on the Eikhorn railroad, near tho Black Hills, had becomo dissatisfied over various matters and had been shipped as far 23 Omaha on their way back to their home, Wwhich they located in Chicaxo. They tackled Mayor Cushiog ashe was on the way to bis office, and asked him if ho couldn't **fix” them. He answered tnat thero were no funds in his possession available for charitable purposes, and referred them to Poormaster Maboney. Failingto find that wentleman in his ofice they drifted down tho bill and toward the lower part of the city. These gentlomen formed a part of the crowd that_attempted to take an Elikhorn traln from the track near Deadwood o fow days ago, becanse the managers of tho road refused to carry them to Chicago. THE MAJOR'S FEES, He Looks for Them First and the Plumbing Afterwards. Promptly at9 o'clock yesterday morning the council committeo appointed to mvestigato ©ho affairs of the oMiceof the plumbing in- pector convened in the oflice of Mr, Morearty, chairman of the committee. Major Dennis not being present, the members concluded to beara the lionin Lis den, and adjourned to the office in busement of the court house.” There the major was found. He at once went upon the witness stand, and explained that in some instances hehas received fees before the plans for plumbing were in his hands for inspec- tion, and at other times not for months after- wards. ‘Havoyou any authority, major, to take hold of theso plans until the feesare paidi” asked Mr. Tuttle, %0, yes; the ordinance lets me have authorily to axamine the plaas either before orafter they are subwitted to the board of health. Somctimes the fees are paid when the plans are apuroved and sometimes before, If a man wants to pay I take bis money.” “You don't pretend to say that you take in- spection fees before the pluns for the plumb- ing in a building are approved by the board of healtht” asked Mr. Morearty, “Certainly,” responded themajor, “Ihave not exacted a feo until after the approval of the plans, but if the party wanis to pay, 1 never refuse the monoy. You may think that I collect close up, but Ido not. Thero is the case of theunion depot. The plans were submitted tast November, but I have not collected the bill yet. There is the Bush- uan building down in the eastern part of own, 1 inspected the plumbing there two mltl.t‘.hl 4o, but have not collected the fees yeo 10 way todo business for tho city,” remarked Mr. Tuttle, SIf this man should refuse to pay this bill, 'what would you do with bim, Dennis " ques' tioned Movearty. ‘Arvest him, promptly responded the in- speotor, as bo thambed a bundlo of papers ho held in his hand. “Rats!” exclaimed the three members of the committee in one volce. “You can't ar- rest & man foraebtand you are an old enough man to know that. 4 ‘About old buildings, major,” continued Mr. Morearty, “‘there is no record of such inspectious in Jour offce, unluss you simply mado an entry In your cash bool."” “Thatis the condition of affairs, but I am not to blame for this, for in such cases the ordinances aro at fault and a thorough lnves- tigation will show this,” and here Dennls entered into an extended discussion of what ordinances relutive to plumbing matters he would pass if ho was & member of the coun- cil. He then branched off outo other plumb- ers ana said: “There is Bob Duncan, and he is not such a saint as some people imagine, Ouly & few days ago he came for 4 permit to . open thastreet, and upon an examination I found that the work had been completed long before the permit was applied for.” “That has nothing to do_with the present tnvestieation,” interposed Mr. Donnelly, “Those plumbers made iots of trouble," continued Dennis. **Sometimes the build- ings aro mearly compiote before I get the plans for tho inspection.”® “They are on file with the secrotary of the bourd of heaith, and you ought to know 1t, as you are a member,” answered Mr. Donnelly, They are not always there,” responded two of the major's inspectors as they rushed to the rescue. . “Yap gentiemen are not on trlal," retorted M, Tuttle, as the two men attempted to take another hand in the investigation, and turn- ing to Dennis he said, “here are a lotof lot- ters simed in biank by Clark Ga- pen, s _ secrotary of the board of health, What are they for?” “Why, we get them and after the examin- tion of the plans, Tfill out the blanks over the signature and they go through,’ said the malor, in reply “That's a fraud,” responded Mr. Tuttle ; tyou, nor no other man has a right to fill out siich s paper. Gapen might be in China and any person could get hold of these papers and they would be legal.”” Tt has been done,'* concluded the major, The committe concluded that there was no more evidence avallable, andafter expressing the opinion that the office had been run in & loose and careless manuer, adjourned.

Regarding the report publishod yesterday afternoon the memvers of the convention state that thero was an error. The trouble refarred to was brought up, discussed and disposed of at the convention held at Lincoln one year ngo. They -also state that the object of the or- ganization is not, as has been stated, for the purpose of advancing the prices on marble and eranite, but for the better acquaintance of the members and the protection of their patrons from irresponsible dealors who, by misrepresentation, impose upon tho public by selling inferior material and furnishing poor work, representing it as being first class, They clain that the most grievous offense any member can commit is toin any way take orders or make contracts by any misrep- resentation or fraud, The convention will resume its labors this morning, finish its business and adjourn this afternoon, San i ged s Nover neglect a constipated condition of the bowels, or serlous_results surely follow, such as piles, impure blood and many chronic i Burdock Blood Bittersis the e il County Court.

Some Sensational Testimony Adduced Yesterday Afternoon, Tho inquest to determine the cause of death of Nathan Bornstein was continued at the Hotel Casoy yestorday aftornoon. A large number of curiosity seekers were present. Mlles Gard, an_expressman, wis tho first witness called, Heo had heard a conversation Tuesday morning at Fourteenth and Douglas streets concerning the burning of a building There were present John Eich, Isaac Gard, the witness, H. J. Boury, George Russell and one or two others. Russell said a party tried to hire him Saturday to set fire to a building. The witness could not remember whether the building meant was Klein & Spelglo’s saloon or not. He did not know how much had been offered. Russell gave the name of the party who tried to hire him, but the witness could not remember what the name was. The witness was intoxicated and proved very stubborn, vank Pennell of 2314 North Twenty-sev- enth street, & blacksmith, was called. He had a conversation at Fourteenth and Douglas streots yosterday afternoon with ~Georgo Russell. ” Russell remarked that there was 00 in sight for any one who would testify at the inquest concerning the burning of the buildmg. This money, he said, the insur- ance men would pay for good testimony on this point. That was all the wituess knew about the matter. John H. Eich, an expressman living at 2601 Cassius street, was called. Ho was prosent at the conversation referred to by Gard, at Fourteenth and Douglas. The party was standing there talking about the fire when Russell camo up. Russell said ho guessed bo could tell as much about that_us any one, He said some parties had tried to hire him to burn a building. The conversation had oceurred on Cuming strect and Russell said he supposed it was the build- ing of Klein & Speigle which was meant. The witness could nov. remember the name of tho [)llrly Russell said made him the proposition, Russell is a helper on moving wagons and lived somewhere near Bedford Place. Isaac Gard was called. He is an express- man and lives on Cassius street. Ho was present at Fourteenth and Douglas stroets during the conversation referred to by the previous witness. The witness had two con- versations with George Russell. At the first one Russell said he had been offered $500 to set five to a building. Tho witness advised him to go to the insurance men and tell them about the matter, At the second conversation Russell told him the name of one of the par- ties who bad made him the proposition to burn the buildiag was Dennis Lane. The offer was made him a few days bofore the fire at Klein & Speigle's -occurred Russell said Pennell was with him when the offer was made. He said also that the man who had made him the offer did not tell nim what building it was which was to be burned, but said he would tell him later, ‘Che witness saw Russell and Pennell on Tuesday and they said they would be willing w testify “if there was anything in it.” Mrs, Sarah Preisman, wife of the second- hand furniture dealer next door to the saloon of Klein & Speigle, was the next witness. This was the party who John Cane had testi- fied told him, 1mmediately after the fire, that she saw a man run down the alley from the buck of the store just after the explosion. She denied this story flatly and said she was not at the back part of her place the evening of tho fire. She had kaown both Klein and Speiglo for several yearsand had not seen either of themsinco the fire. Did not see either of them Sunday afternoon. She testi- fied positively and repeatedly that snhe,had not talked to anyone about the fire, either at the time it occurred or afterwards. ‘The coroner stated that he saw the witness talking with Kiein Sunday evening, but she denied this, It developed that the witness was a niece of Klein, aud she was promptly excused. George Russell was called. He lives at Thirtieth and Emmett and works at the ex- press business. He testified that ho had a conversation at Sixteenth and Cass streets last Friday evening, about 9 ¢'clock, with Dennis Lane. Lane came up to the witness and asked him if he didn’t want to “make a little boodle.”” The witness asked how that was to be done. Lane said the witness could make §500 by setting fire to a building. Wit~ ness asked what bulding was meant or whereit was, but Lane did not tell him. Frank Pennell was with the witness just before Lano spoke to him, but was_in'tho saloon while Lane was talking. Pennell came back after Lane had gone and witness told bim what had been said. Pennell went upstairs to the ofice of Justice Shaw, where Lano was, and when he camo back he told the witness that Lane would not. talk to him about it, but would see him the next day. The witnoss testified that he_had often seen Lane loafing about Klein & Speigle's saloon, Aleck Speiglo was put on tho stand_again and testified that he did not know Dennis Lane at all and had never seen him to his knowle Dennis Lane was subpenaed on Tuesday, but, tad not appeared at the inquest. In view of the testimony of Isaac Gard and Russell, it was considered highly important to have the testimony of Lane. ~An officer was sent aiter Lane yesterday afternoon, but could not find him ‘at his usual haunts. He was reported sick, but as he had been seen in the morning riding in & buggy his illness was evidently not serious. An adjournment was taken until 8. p. m, today in order to give the police time to hunt for Lane. The jury also desired the presence of Frank Pennell, who is suspected of “hold- ing out" consideruble testimony. e Mrs, Winslow's Soothing Syrup for chil- dren toething is the {amily benefactor. 25 cents a bottle. e SOUTH OMAHMA NEWS, The Run on tho Bank Is Over.

On Thanksgiving day, 1884, Small started on horseback for Blunt, a town fiftgen miles west of Harrold, Iis road was over a rolling prairie sparsely settled. Small failed to return after soveral days and altnough . inquiries were mule as to his whereabouts, it was o full month before it was suspected that he had met with foul play. Rumors were current that he had ab- sconded and had been arrested for land frauds, which rumors \Y o traced to Bell’s authorship. The latter was re- garded as a bad man and had once made an assault on o weak minded young man with a hatchet. Beunett, an accom- plice of Boll's, who had sudacnly disap- peared with Small, was arrvested and told the story of the murder which ted to the recovery of Small’s body buried in plowed ground near the Dalkota Cen- tral railroad. The skull was literally hacked to pieces with a shingle hatchet, After the confession of Bennett, Bell was arrested and taken to the Dierre jail for trinl. The next morning a mobh appeared before the jail, effected an en- trance and demanded Bell. Sherift Harris refused to deliver up his pris- oner. The mob then broke into Bell’s cell, dragged him out and hanged him to the flagstaff in front of the courthouse. Sydney Bell, who is now under arrest at the city prison, came to P’ierre short- 1y after the lynching of his brother, He represented that he was a telegraph op- ator and came to settle his brother’s es- tate. Although Bell has been identified as tho same porson whose brother was lynched in South Dakota, yet he denies that he was ever in the state. Lheiie bl Lawsnit About a Postage Stamp. Pat Hickey, one of the attaches of the Tremont, who was here before the fire, told this: ““When the vpost-office stood on the block below there was a man who kept anews and candy and tobacco stand in the front. His name was Roach. Idon’t recall his given name, but no matter. An Englishman went in and bought a postage stamp, Roach also sold stamps. The Englishman threw down three cents, one of the pieces being Canadian. This Roach refused to take. The Eng- lishman said he had no other and he had by this time used the stamp. The two men wero stubborn. It was the same old fight—English vs. the Irish, and the Irishman had the better of it and insisted on hiz 'way. Roach sued the Englishman and a ingering lawsuit was the result, in which Roach won, but it cost him quite a sum of money; I think the expense of the suit on both sides amounted to about $400. Roach is not living here now, 1 believe, and the Englishman left long ago. Roach brought the suit to recover the one cent, and that is the smallest lawsuit on record, 8o I am told.”” Implictt Trust.
