A DISASTROUS WRECK. The west end of the Burlington yards, near A street, was the scene of a very disas- wrous wreck last night. Train No. 78, drawn by engine No. 242, came from the westat o high rate of spoed, and near the Salt croek bridge crashed into switch engine No. 216, which had just pulled to that end of the yards to throw some cars onto the iron Works switch. Dan Creedan was the en- gineer in charge. The two engines met with 8 terrible crush, both goiug over the embank- ment and eight or ten cars following. Creedan was slightly hurt about the leg, and . C. Swineford, 8 brakeman, serlously in- Jured, although not daugerously so. The oars were filled with horses, cattle, hogs, ete. Tho sceno of the wreck was visited this morning by hundreds of people and was well worth a visit. The fields on either side of the track are strewn with the carcasses of animals, some orushed to death, others dis- embowelled, and one fine horse was lying faco downward across a barb wire fence whilo on his back lay a truck. The cars were badly smashed. This morning while the big wrecking derrick, placed on tho track was at- tompting draw up a tender, it became overbalanced and went down the embank- ment with a crash. Trafic was temporarily topped. as the track was not cleared until afternoon, The passenger trains transterred their loads. The wreck will cost the com- pany about §25,000, A SAD STORY. Two pretty young girls, apparently about sixteen years 6f age, called at police hoad- quarters last evening to secure the assistauce of the ofticers in finding the mother of one of them. One of the young women told Captain Gardner that she had _been lving for some six or soven years with her grandparents in Des Moires, and during that time had not seen or heard from her mother. A fow woeks 8go she learned that her mother had been cook in a restaurant in Omaha, and with her ung friend she started to that city to find r. They were informed that hor mother was in Lincoln. They came down yes- terday, but could find no_ trace of the woman, and were finally directed to rouu headquarters. As soon as Mr, Carder earned the mother's name and the daughter’s description of her, he recognized her as tho keeper of a notorious house of ill-fame near Eighth and L streets. After consultation ‘with Captain Miller the news was broken to the girf, who was greatly affected on hearing of her mothers lufamy. Sho utterly de- clined, however, to have anything to do with her mother, and she “would as soon as possible return to her Des Moines home. As -Beither had any money they were taken to the Women's Christiau association home on South Eloventh stroet. AN AGED WOMAN FOUND STARVING, Mrs. Anderson, living at 1001 South Sixth strect, reported to the police st evening that B uldurli' lady who was apparently crazy ‘was making a disturbanco there. The matter referred to the county authorities and Deputy Sherift Hoxie found the old lady in &0 unoecupiod house at 717 H street in a very bad coudition, with littie clothing and noth- dog to cat. She was taken charge of. She gave her namoas Helen Gretchen, and from marks on her clothing it was learned she came from Beloit, Wis, She can speak very little English, and being nearly eighty years old, is rather childish. DISTRIOT COURT DOINGS. Eli Surgeon was given ten days to decide whether he wanted to prosecute school dis- trict 112 for $2,000 damages because his boy's eye was put out by a playmate, the district negligently allowing stones to remain around the school house. 9, Frederick A. Sierth has come to the con- clusion that he didn't mean it when he an- swered the petition of his wifo for divorce, and now asks the court to let him takeit ack. Edwin Wright would be_happy if the court would refer his divorco case to J. B. Archi- bald, 50 that bo aad Ella could be two hence- orth. The Lingoln City electric railway is in a burty 10 decupy the line at Twolfih and B streets, and this morning asked the court to dismiss the injunction case brought by John Sheedy, s there was no plaintiff in tho land of tho living, but the court allowed no snap judgment, and rovived the action in the name of the administrators. CAPITOL TOTEL IN NEW HANDS. This morning Sheriff McClay resumed tho offering at public vendue of the furmshings andleaso of tho Capito} hotel, Tho only bidder was the fitm of Harwood, Ames & Co., which offered $,000 and assumed certain obilgations which it is claimed virtually amount to between £4,500 and $,000. Both Colonel Roggen and Mr. McDonald express a feeling of reliof at having _disposed of their interest in the hostelry. The hotel is not the gold mine that it was_years ago, when it was the best hostelry in the city, and the managers of lato years have not realized tho enormous profits that Mr. Imhoft and others made years ago. 1t is belicved thatin a year or two the structure will be toru down and a more modern building erccted, 1t is conceded that the location is one of the best in the city for hotel purposes. THROWS FROM IIIS HORSE. As Sammy Ivers, tho young son _of W. J. Tvers, was riding south on ‘Wenth street this morning his horse commenced bucking at O street and throw the boy violently to the ground, It was thought at first that he was killed, but it was found that he was merely stunned. Officer Palmer seoured a hack and sent thelad w his homo at W1 J stroot. Medical attendance was summoned and it was then discovered that his collar_boue was broken. Nono of his injuries aro thought to be serious. A DEPOT WOULDN'T PAY, The answer to the application of T. A. Arneal and others for a depot at the crossing at Armour, where the Kansas City, Wyan- dotte & Northwestern rallroad intersects with the B. & M., was filed with the board of fransportation today, The original request was for & depot on the B. & M. at the 1nter- scction of tho two roads, The B. & M. ans- wors that the business of that community does not warrant the maintenance of a depot at that point and that the time tablesof through trains will not pevmit the losslof time that would be entailed by stopping at said point. ODDS AND EXDS. Henry Carter reports that some thief in- vadedh'is barn near Eighth and Ninth streots last night and stole b, Thieves broke into J. J. Pennington's house at 1336 T street last nightand stole a gold ring, $3In_greenbacks and a number of valuablo papers.

S THE WOLFE CONFIDENCE GAME. The Arrest of Three Men Leads to Interesting Developments. Another interesting chapter was added to the C. E. Wolfe confidence game story yes- terday afternoon by thearrest of Patrick Keyes, theman who drew Wolfe's money from the bank, Jim Norton, recently em- ployedas watehman by the Swift packing company and formerly superintendent of tho street sweeping gang, and J. A. Ennis, a private detective who has been about Omaha for some time. The men were found at the Drum saloon, and Keyes and Ennis were considerably in- toxicated, When brought face to face at the police staon and questioned about the affair, Keyes told tho whole story. He said that Knnis came to him and said that he was working for Chief Seavey and wanted to got hold of Wolfe's money to give it to Mrs. ife. Hesaid Wolfe had defrauded his wife, and they wanted to get the money away from him _so that they could give it to Mrs, Wolfe and then scare Wolfe out of the country. Keyes said that Ennis offered him 82 if he would help do tho job, Ho accepted the offer, be- lieving all the time that the money was to bo turned over to Mrs. Wolfe. When they suc. ceeded in getting the money, however, Koyes says that Ennis then said they would ‘simply divide the pile and leave Mrs. Wolfo en- tively out of the deal. Ennis took $22 and offered Jim Norton $25 if he would assist Keyes in getting Wolfo out of the city, They were in the Drum saloon at the time, and it was but a few minutes after Keyes had gotten the money from the bank, Norton said he would do it, being consider- ably intoxicated at the time, and Ennis paid him $10 in advance to get Wolfe away. Norton admits that he got the $10, but says that he was intoxicated and dia not know the real nature of tho case. He left the Dram saloon and went to Wolfe's boarding glmm just as Angell was sending the team ack to the livery bam, and overybody about the house was excited over tho discovery of the confidence game. Norton decided “that it would not be safe to meddlo further with the affair, sohe went back down town and had a good time with the $10 that Enuis had given him. Enris was too drunk yesterday afternoon to say much about the case, but while Keves was telling the story Ennis called him a liar several times, so it" is quite evident that he will give another version of the business. ‘The sheriff from Ashland came up yester- day with a warrant for the arrest of “Wolfe upon the grounds ¢f adultery, From what he said it appears that_the anthorities at Ashland wanted to get Wolfe back there with his money in his pockets, They would have then had an opportunity to get it away from him for the benetitof the wife he de- serted, It seems that Ennis was ostensibly working with that view, but he changed the deal before the Ashland people had time to get a hand in the pot. Ennis had the superlative sudacity to telegraph Mrs, Wolfe Friday afternoon, after he aud Keyes bad all the money 1n their mckeu, that she must send them'a check for &0 to holp pay expenses, or Lo would be obliged to drop the case before the money was gotten away from Wolfe, Wolfe was arrested last evening and will be held as a witness, Norton and Ennis were released upon bond but Keyes is still in jail. The arrests were made by Detectives Savage and Haze, e Board of Public Works, The board of public works held a meeting of five minutes’ duration yesterday after- noon.
