MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED Many Buildings and Several Valuable Horses Burned at Linooln, ENTIRE FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT Star Livery Harn and Adjacent Structures Consumen with the Greater Portion of Thelr Contents — List of the Loss Laxcors, Neb,, April 11 Special to Tne Bre Last night's fice in this city was un questionably the most disastrous that has occurred in Lincoln since the destruction of the big plant of the Lincoln Paint and Color company a year and a half ago, It occurred in the block bounded by Eighth and Ninth and R and S streets, and the buildings cover- ing nearly one-half of the block were con sumed. The fire originated in the roof of the Star livery barn at 525 North Ninth street and although the alarm was quickly given the flames sproad so rapidly that ail the efforts of the entire fire department of the city were unavailing to prevent the loss which was entailed within an hour and a half. The Star barn was filled with horses the flames spread so rapidly that the ple first on the ground were unable to the animals from the burning building. In upite of the most strenuous efforts of the firemen the flames quickly ad to Bohan an's hack barn just across the alley to the south. The barn was filled with fifty head of horses and a large number of men entered the bluzing building and excrted themselyes to the utmost to bring the thoroughly fright encd animals to a place of safety. They only and peo get succecdea in liberating a few while the rest were loft to their fate. In this barn were also o large num- ber of cattle, but most of them per ished before help could arrive. Fifty-tw horses and cattle were consumed in the flames of Bohanan's burn, while in the Star barn twelve more were burned to death, making the total loss of live stock sixty- four head, * Ngrth of the Star barn, where the fire oriffuated, were located a grocery store conducted by a Mrs. Schlass, a blacksmith shop belonging to Charles Archer, another blacksmith shop run by Adrain Swansen. Allof the buildings were one-story struc tures, and all were burned to tho ground ex- cept o part of Swansen's shop. A small building occupied by a Chineso laundry was burned on the south side of Bohanan's barn, butat this point the flames were checked “The Peoria hotel had a narrow escape, as it very nearly joined the laundry building. Walter Bohanan says that his two ings were worth £5,000. The barn was 55x150 and two stories high. It was insured for £2,000 with Clark & Leonard, but he did not know in what company. Ho says he had twelve head of horses burned, among them a fine trotting gelding worth £00, named Tul huild- lavere. The total value of the horses he had burned he figures at £1,650. There were also three horses belonging to Hargreaves, one to Ed Friend, two to Tom Carr, one to C M. Keefer' and one belonging to L. K. Holmes was kept in the barn by Dr. Cosford. These eight horses were worth perhaps 81,000, Bohanan also lost buggies, sleighs, harness, saddles, and other appu tenances of the business of the value of $1.000. Bohanan's total loss will reach £6,000 if all of the horses were lost that he claims, | had three head of blooded cattle tha There thirty-cig d at were also in it heaa of ¢ ). rear of his arly all ( the ttle, n had just arvived from Peoria, I11., arn 110- av auction. They were the property of Woolner & Son, wealthy dis- tillers of that city, and were worth about #3,500. 1t is not known whether or not they were insured. All of the buildings in the north half of the block belonged to N. C. Brock and are valued at §1,200. There was no insurance. The Star barn was occupicd by 8. B. Lil- lard, who loses nothing but about 0 worth of hay. There were twelve head of stoek in the barn, one of them being a very young colt. Five of them belonged to Dr. Queen and were worth about #00. A hors buggy belonging to Weyant, the gr ‘worth $150, a pony belonging to Jack wood worth about 830, a horse, cort and har- ness belonging to Pat O'Hara' worth 8125, a team belonging to a man named Malloy worth 8100, and a horse aud cart belonging to a stranger worth, §5 were consumed in this barn, Mrs. Schass thinks that her grocery stock was worth £1,000, and it was not_insured. Charles Polsky figures nis loss at §00 on his unk shop. Probably £400 would "cover the 0sses not herein mentioned. The total loss tigures up about $16,600. Died of Iiis Injuries Thomas Moore, the man shot by a f tramp during & fracas in the Rock Is rallroad yards late yesterday afternoon, died of his wound at St. Elizabeth hospital at 1:40 o'clock this morning. The doctors did everything in their power tosave the unfortunate man's life, but their efforts were unavailing. Late last evening, after probing unsuccessfully for the bullet, they performed an operation upon him. Cutting open the abdomen they found that the bul- let had penetrated the intestine in five places aud had penetrated the spleen. The intestines had bled freely, The operation is said to have been most skillfully performed and the man's life considerably prolonged thereby. One of the physicians present says that Moore made n statement before he died exonerating O'Brien from blame, saying that he didn't intend to shoot him, Dr. Crim summoned a jury at 2 o'clock this afternoon to hold an inquest upon the re- muins, which are at O. W. Heaton's morgue. O'Brien claims that he had had _trouble with the wen in the morning, had_ been se- verely beaten, had armed himself and re- turncd to the place and had only shot when someone hit him with a coupling pin Johnson demies that anyone hit O'Brien, but says that the latter acted liko a crazy man. O'Brien claimed that Moore was the man who hit him. The dead man came from Wilmington, Del O'Brien is held for sheoting with intent to kill, but Chiiet Otto will file 4 warrant before o justice of the peace charging him with murder. Johnson is held as a witness, All of the others escaped. ) No Scramble for the Places. The legislature provided in the closing days of its session for two traveling auditors, whose duty it should be to inspect the books of the county treasurers in the state, investi- gate their system of bookkeeping and_other details of thoir oftice work, ‘with a_view to providing a uniform system of bookkeeping for all these officials. The commitiee on ways and means appropriated $1,500 apieco for the salaries of these two officials, but utterly failed to make any pro vision for the payment of = their traveling expenses. Auditor Moore has therefore informed all the applicants for the places that if they accept the appointment they will be expected to pay all their own traveling expenses, including railroad fare und hotel bil This announcement has dampened the ardor of & number of the men who have been working for w they be- tieved would be nice, easy berths. There have been but few applicants so fa of these has withdrawn his appheation since he has learued that his expenses will have 1o come out of his salary. Among the men who had applied for the positions were Na than Foarea of Cedar Rapids, and Captain Phelps Paineof this city, What the Attorneys Ask. It is given out today that the three emi nent attorneys who have been cngaged to assist the managers of impeachment, Judges Doane und Pound and W. L. Greene, have B0t the price of their services at §6,000. In asmuch as the legislature only appropriated 815,000 for the entire expenses of the im peachment trial many peopie who visit the state house are wondering just where the witness foes are to come from .

In this way the railroad need not d stroy the spring nor the existence of the spring hurt the road. 1t is but a question of expense, and ativeslight oue,which the city council might appropriate if its a tention were drawn in that direction. It hardly lively that the railroad would object, if this is done before its track is put to use. Dr. Mercer, while at Potash Sulphur Springs, Ark, said that these Omaha springs were much like those. 1f o they are worth too much to waste. M. H. SR Muarder and Arson. Mitiviiie, N. J.

Senator Roach's Wasnixaroy, D, C., April 11.—The demo- cratic majority in the senate decided early in today's session that whatever business was to be discussed or acted on it should not be done in public, but behind closed doors, and 5o at the very moment thata motion could be made, Mr. Gormanas the parlia- mentary leader of the majority, moved to proceed to the consideration of executive business. Senators Hoar and Chandler, with a sohd array of republican senators behind him, resisted the motion in vain. The journal of yesterday having been read, Vice President Stevenson stated that before the senate was the resolution for the admission of three senators appointed by the governors of Montana, Washington and Wyoming.

The Roach case came prominently to the | front in the executive session and was the cause of some rather plain talk on both sides of the chamber. The republicans propounded an inquiry to what the other side permit the as meant by refusing to committee on privileges and i elections to report a_resolution relative to | the centest of Mr. Martin's seat by Mr. | Ady, & resolution that had been agreed upon | in the meeting Saturday, and, further, why they had exhibited what appeared to be bad faith in the Roach decision, a resolution | which, republicans contended, had been agreed to by democrats on the floor of the senate. his at once precipitated a_discussion in | which it was developed that the democrats were oppnsed to tie taking up of the Roach case at this time and wanted to postpone any further action until the next session of | congress. 1t was declured by democratic leaders, as had been stated by them before, that if the Roach case was to be gone into, there were others that should be taken up as well. The republicans retorted that they were afraid of no investigation concerning any other members, but they insisted that some positive action ‘should be taken in this par- ticular case. Tho democrats said that they were willing the resolution should be modi- | fied 80 as to instruct the committee whether | or not it had the authority to make the in- | 'stigation concerning the previous acts of | | | a senator, but the republicans urgea that this did not go far enongh and insisted that the committee should be still further author- ized to go ahead and make the inyestigatio if it found it had such authority.

Albert H Hopkius of Towa, who, during | ion of congress, created some: ir and considerable notoriety by 7 for the adoption of a bill making the the national flower, is creating con- ble uneasiness at tho Interior depar Hopkins recently wrote to the d nission to go out among the Indians as the Messiah foretold by Sitting Bull and other chiefs. Permission was declined, but today the department re: cgived word ' from him in North Dakota, saying he intended making a tour of all the western_reservations whether the govern ment allowed him to do so or not.

Judge Lamoune of North Dakota has ar- | rived and threatens to make trouble for Senator Hansbrough of that state if the lat- ter does not stop the tnreatened-investization into the private character of Senator Roach of North Dakota. 1t is stated th ator Gorman, in trying to defeat an investigation into the charges of Roach’'s defalcations, is only shielding himself; that Gorman secured Roach’s election as a senator, knowing of the dishonesty of the transaction of the North Dakotan here, and now herdoes not want ex- posed the part he (Gorman) took in Roach election.

C., April 11.—Secretary Morton's attention was called today to cer: tain criticisms for his removal of Robert L. Blaine from the position of chief of the quar- antine division of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry. The secretary says when he took charge of the Derfartment of Agriculture he found Mr. Blaine occupying a position with practically no duties to perform, and araw- ing a salary of $2000 ver annum. It was one of the most evident sinecures in the department and he could not, con- sistently, allow it to remain, although tne incumbent happened to be the brother of the late James G. Blaine. If he had been the brother of President Cleveland the result would have been the same. The only posi- tion which could be taken in the interest of cconomy and good government was to abol- ish this division,which consisted of one man, and assign the clerical force connected with the stations to the divisions of field Investi- gation and miscellaneous work at the burzau of animal industry, which it had really done during Mr, Blaine's incumbency. The quar- antine stations, he said, will be maintamed and conducted as they have been heretofore under the dircction of the chief of the bureau ot animal industry, without the least detri- ment to the public service. Inestimable ; Value The discovery by Dr. Prics of a new process for extract- ing from the true fruits their natural flavor will be of inestimable value and benefit to the consumers of flavoring extracts. By this process the flavoring principle of the fruit employed is brought out so perfectly that when used to flavor cakes, creams, ctc., it imparts the delicate and delicious taste of the fruit itself, Thousands of pounds of the costly Mexican Vanilla Bean are annually consumed in the manufacture of Dr. Price’s Delicious Extract of Vanilla. Ladies, try Dr. Price’s flavors if you “wish nice desserts. You will nevet be disappointed in their use, PAGES.
