NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Serious Tire at the Iowa Fohool for the Deaf end Dumb, HARD FIGHT TO SAVE THE MAIN BUILDING Ierole Work of the Firemen Dangerous Work of the How the Fite Start mato of the L At 2 o'clock yosterday afternoon un alarm of fire was raised at tho Iowa school for the deaf just southeast of the city. A telephone | message was sent in to the Council Bluffs fire department and the hose compunies were so0n on thescene, A fire had sturted in one ccrner of the dry- ing room in the laundry st the south end of tho main buildingi how, no one so for has been wble to explain, Thedry wooawork of | tho Inundry oburned like tinder and the flames could be seen for miles around. When the firemen arrived they planted the escue steamer at a convenient distance from the building and began to get ready to fight the flames with it. But before it had gotten up steam one of the voils suddonly collapsed and the engine was powerloss, Av effort was made to repair the mischief, but it soon became evident that more would be lost than gained by spenaing time in this way. 1o add to the confusion, the reservoir from which the institution gets it water sup- piy tad bLaon ailowed to run low, as it was the intention of the managerment to clean it and repair 1t in a day or two, 80 as to bo ready for tho opening of the new school vear. Meager Faellities for Fighting Fire, The fucilities for fighting firs at the school wera found to bu of the meagorest deserip- tlon, A few small hydrants scattared about the ground, with a few sections of swali hose, more suitable for watering o grass plat than for saving & burning building, wers all that could be found. The water from ths rasorvoir was So0n exhuustod, and the firamon had to fall buck on a water supply from an artesian well. I'he 1most rigid cconomy had to be used in the matter of water, and, although hanai- capped in almost overv conceivable direc- tion, the Council Blaffs Kire department, under the dircetion of Chief Nickolson, did most heroic and effective work. The fire 1 the laundry was finaliy extin- guished and tlien the most strenuous offorts were put forth to keep the flames from being communicated to tho rostof the building. The ice house, which was of wood and stood udjoining the laundry, soon canght fire and the ciuders which filled tho air and alighced on the root of the surrounding buildings made it necessary thata force of men bo kept constantly ‘at work to prevent the demolition of the whole structura. By this time a large number of poople had come out from the city and they wers organizad into a Hre-fighting force to assis the firemen and the employes of the institu- tion. A line of men with buckets was formed and water handed along from o ncighboring well tothe men cn the roofs, who used 1t in_extinguishing the small putches of flame that sturted here and tnere. Heroie Efforts of the Firemen, Tt was not until nearly 5 o'clock that the two-story frame icehouse that stood in angle form by tbe south wing of the main build- {ug and the burned annex fell to the ground and removed the probubility of the destruc- tlon of tho entire institution. It was a tall building with but littlo ice fn it and the timbor of which it was composed was thoroughly scorched aud dried out by the earlier stuges of the fire in tho annex. It barved with a fierce heat, blistering and scorching the wooden cornice and window frames of tho sbuth wing and the main vuilding. Only the herole efforts of the members of the city firo departwent and some of the em- ployes of the institution kept the fire from tho mamn building. TI'he exposed winaows were covered with blankets and these were Kent drenched by the bucket brigade which passed water through the chapel to the men whio endured thie iatense beat in the building and threw the water from the inside. Other and still moro dariug men stood on the roof of the south wing envelofed in wet blankets und poured wauter on the cornice. They were in a heat so intense that the woodwork at their feet would ignite and biaze, ana the water they would pour upou it would flash up into steam. T would climb up tho sharp ridge of the slate roof, get a breath of cooler air and return with another oucket, constantly in 1mminent danger of being stricken down by the uwful heat or muking o nisstep und falhing beadlong to death on the pavement below. These men were the real herces of the day, and deserva tne thanks of tbe people of Jowa more than all others that the magnificent building is not now & mass of binckened ruis. All of their names could not be ascertained, but three of them were members of the Council Bluffs fire department—Robert Huntingt Charles Watts and Chartie Couley. One of the ottiers was E'. W, Balluf, the engineer at the institution. They are the men who saved the building. But they did not escaps un- scathed. Hutington is baaly burned avout the head and face. His hair, evebrows and hie were burncd and his neck and d. Mr. Watts suf- d the samo fate, but although he re- waized at the dangerous post longer than anybody else ho was not quite as badly burned as Huntingtcn, OF all tho men be, erbaps, deserves the greatest praise for his coeluness and brav , although the other men did not flinch even when the avalancho of flame swept down upon them. The Supreme Moment of Danger, Near the icebouse stood a tall, partiaily completed derrick to be used in the con- struction of another artesian well, This was blaziug from top to bottom and was sending showers of spurks over the build- ings., When it fell it crushed down the ereater part of the icehouse, and then was the supreme moment of danger to tue wain buildicg. The flames leaped up a bhundrea feet above the roof and were carricd by the south wind over the south wing and the main tuildiog. Iv drove the firemen and the men at the south end of the root temporarily from their posts and when they returned covered with their wet blankets the window frames and cornices were ablaze, but they bravely fought out the fire as they bad been doing for an hour. In & few moments tho blaze diea down and the wind cowa no longer carry the flames to- ward the buildings, and? the exhausted heroes came down from their perilous station ana bathed their blistered hands and faces, The waolen suits of every oune of them were scorched, aud their biackened faces and crisped bair inaicated the condition of the awful furnace in which they had been stay- ing. More Hrave Fire ¥ . On the roof of the main building was another party of equally bravo men headed by J. A. Murohy, Joun Cappin and A. B, Mair. " They were not exposed to such territic heat but they were on & steeper and wore dangerous ruof, five atories above the pavement. It was a tin roof, but it haa been conted with inflammabie tar, und this was ablazo in & dozen places at once, Murphy stood on the cornice in the smoke ninety fest from the ground and pulled up pail after puil of water with o long rope. The buckets would catch on these stone copings and window caps as he drow them up, and no one but & man with iron nerves and a clear brain could bave kept his balance a momont. Mauy times their clothes were on fire, and the little water thoy could get up went but little way toward suppressing the blazing tar. They did the most execution by beatiug and stampiog ont the little patches of fire with their coats and feet. The question of the adequacy of the fire protection furnishod by the lustitution itself was carofully inquired iuto by many . of the people there, and the absurd lnadequacy, so apparent to all, caused the management to be severely eriticised. The worst rattied man on tne grounds wis Superintendont Rotbert himself, and unless some oue more competent 10 ouuage u fire had been present the entire structure would bave been destroyed, no watler what meaos Lhe state hag provided to mem the buliding. Oaly the presence and otter juagment of Chief Nicholson and the the mewbers of the Council Biuffs fire de 1 THE OMAHA partment prevented complote destruction as it was, Estimate of the Loss, 1t is difficult to estimate tho loss, as no one coula be found who seemed competent to fix the value of the destroyed machinery. The annex, which was completely destroyed, con- tained tho laundry. the engine rooown, boiler rooms, coal houses and eiectric lighting plant.’ Only the ragged walls were left standing, acd they will have to be pulled dowp, The whole structure was filled with expensive machinery and nota thing was saved. The loss will probably reach §20.000 or §25,000. Rothert could give no informa- tion about anything or ve induced to answer civilly a single question, Tho fire leaves the institution in pretty bad shape, with the autumn term almost ready to commenco and the whole working parc of the structure totally destroyed, All the pupils, teachers and employes of the institution, who were living in the main building and dormitories, carried their ef- fects out and the handsome lawu was cov- ered with trunks and household goods. — Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for chil- dren teething rests the child and comforts the mother, 250 a bottie, Greenshields, Nicholson & Co. have choice bargains in improved and vacant residence property in all parts of the city for cash or on payments, See them before buying. POLTAWATTAMI DEMOCRATS, They Hold Thelr County Convention and Select Delegntes. The Pottawattamie county democrats held thoir couvention vesterday nfternoon, There wero no candidates to put in nomination and only one candidate that was thought enough of by the locul democracy to give iastruc- tions for, and no poiitical questions o cause resolutions. Almost the ouly thing before the convention was the eiection of delegates to attena the state, judicial and congres- slonal conventions, Consequently, the con- venticn wasa quiet affair, barring a few times, when the natural democratic tendency for all to talk at ouce and get as mixed up as possivle on pardamentary usage iusisted on cropping out. Temporary Offiners Sclected. The conveniion was called to order by Chairman S. B. Wadsworth of the eounty central committee, and J. R. Dietrich was elected temporary chairman and O. H. Marsh of Oakland temporary sccretary. T'he following committee on credentials was then appoiuted: Dr. Harvey of Neoia, D. Walters, W. A. Groueweg, G. Died- rich of Avoca, J. B, Joaansen of Walnut, As soon as the committee hifd retired from the room W. H. Ware moved that the chair- man appoint a committee consisting of one member from each voting precinct in tne county, whose duty it should be to select delegates to attend the state, congressional 8nd judicial conveations, Some discussion was caused by this, and amendnents to the amendment were made until tho question before the house became a matter of some uncertainty, The dificulty was finally ovorcome by Ware's motion to table all the amendments, which was carried. The committee was: O. H. Marsh, Be! knap township; George Thomas, Boo George Dye, Curson; William Curri cent; John R, ma Garner; Pri EBm- mons, Grove; James Shields, Huzel Dell; A. B. Perkine, Kog Creel:z A. B. Cuppy, Knox; J. B. Johansen, Layton: R. C. Williams, Lewis; Max Reimers, Lincolu; S. Dye, Mucedonia; James Crow, Minden; G. E. Ferguson, Neola; John Day, Pleasant; O, H.

Whittlesey, Kane, Second: John Plumer, Kune, Third; J. J. Shea,. Kane, Fourth; N. O’Hrien, Kane, Fifth; W. B. Fisher, Kane, Sixth. At uoou u great debate took place as to whether the convention would adjourn for dinuer, or only take a recess, and on this great question amendments, substitutes, poiuts of order, and other devices for killing time were thrown in for about fifteen min- utes. By the end of that time the chairman and the members were in a baa confusion, Atlast some one rememoered that a motion to adjourn was always in order. The con- vention seized the idea eagerly and drifted out of the door: Delegates Selected. After dinner the dolegates assombled again, and after hearing the report of the committee on credentials the following dele- gutes were chosen Lo represent the county at the coming conventions.

That is what Council Bluffs {s to have within the next six manths, according to the agreement which has been entered into bo- tween Willlam Malouey of Essex, Ia., and a number of the citizens of the city, Mr, Ma- loncy has been in tho agricultural implemont business at Essex for some time past, but he bas found that place not adapted for any large institution, and he has consequently been casting about for some place to move to where he can carry on the manufacture of what is known in the implement business s “spring goods.” A committee of the busi- ness wen of the ci'y has been currying on negotiauion with him for some time past, and Mr. Maloney has been greatly taken with the city as a location for the kind of business in which hu expected to embark.

SOUTH OMANA Probability That the Talked Of School Levy Will Vet Ite Made, That much discussed school levy of 121§ mills is liavle to bo mude yet this year. Tho Board of Elucation, atthe June meoting, declared it necassary to have more baildiugs and reported to tha county commissioners that a levy of 12!{ milis would be required 10 ercct buildings and purchase sites, Upon an opinion from County Attorney Maboney the commissioners refused to make the lovy holding that the city council of Sol Omaha is the proper body to muke the lov Attorney Farnsworth of the school board held a different view ana began mandamus proceedings to compel the commissioners to make the levy. Judge Irvine heard the ar- pguments in the case and has handed down his decision. The judge bolds the school Dboard of South Omaha ie working under the charter of a city of the socond-class and that the county commis- sioners snall make the lovy for scheol pur- poses aud not the city council. He refused the application for & mandamus to compel the commissioners to muke the levy on the ground that the report of the Board of Kdu- cation 1o the commissioners was_irregular. The report was faulty in thut it did not state the amount in dollars end cents, and instend named a 12!5-mills levy as the amount re- quired. The judee also held that the school board could filo nn amended report with th commissioners and they could make the lev yet this year. - Tho aniendod report bes been fleld. Yroperty Owners Ohject, At a recent meoting of the city council an ordinanco was introducad granting to the Rock Island the right of way over Urleans street in Jetter's addition, from Twenty- sixth to Twenty-eighth stroets. The ordi- nance was referred to the ordinance com- mittee and that committee has been looking into the matter. 'The railroad company wants the use of that streot to putin a switch to Jetter's brewery, but has said nothing about paying any damages to the preperty owners. The citizens who own property on that street are not anxious to have the right of way granted without receiving damages and claim that instead of one truck being placed there, three or four will bo put down aud that the company's scheme 1s to gain entrance tothe Union stock yards. The ordinance will ve repocted upon by the committee at Monday evening’s session of the council and the report will probab'y noc be favorable to the ordinance. Arrest of n Wife Benter. A sad-faced little woman with tear-dimmed eyes came iuto the polico station last even- ing, and related a story that, if true, shows her husband to be more of a bruto than a man. ‘The woman’s namie . is Mrs. John Gro- gan and she resides with her husband at Thirty-sccona and [ streets. She suys her husbaud is emploved a portion of the time at the Cudahy packing house and that tho rest ot his time is occupied in_drinking and abus- ing her. Last mght he came homo and by way of amusement broke turee chairs over her hoad and shoulders. Tho poor woman's head aud faco were badly bruised and swollen, Grogan was arrested aud will ap- pear before Judge Fowlor today. After the Loufers, ¥ Councilman Wood is after the loafers who adorn the area rallings in different parts of the city and make a nuisance of themselves every day the weather will permit of their being there. He says thay must go and the owners of the buildings must assist in the good work. A rosolution or ordinance by the council compelling the owners of build- mgs to placo buros om the railings is his remedy, and he proposes to see it is done, and the other councilen say they will help, The edict will go forth, and the streat cor- ner oruament in tho person of the loafer must go, and all South Omaha will rejoico that it is so.
