THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUE DAY, JUNE 6, 1893. HOW NO. 7'S MEN MET DEATH Qoroner's Inquiry Into the Fatality at the Bhiverick Block Fire, CAPTAIN COX ACTED WITHOUT ORDERS Testimony Exonerating the Department OMcinls from Blame for the Death of Thelr Men—Claim that the Fire Was Not Caused by Lightniog. The Inquest on the bodies of Captain Cox and Pipeman Ouray of hose company No. 7, who were killed by the falling walls of the Shiverick building Saturday night, was held in the police court room yesterday after noon. No verdict was returned, as the jury determined to wait a week or two and sco if some of the injured men would not recover in time to add their testimony to that which was available yesterday. The first witness called was M. J. de Neen, driver of No. 7. His company responded to the general alarm and ho assisted in laying a line of hose from the hydrant in front of the Omaha National bank building through the alley to the rear of the Shiverick building. Ho then went out and laida second line of hose and coupled 1t on the water tower on Farnam street after which he returned to the alley. On his return he assisted the No. B's in running their hose up on the rear of the Maurer building and was standing on the roof about five feet from the rear when the west wall of the Shiverick building fell. Cox, Ouray and Morris of his company, to- gether with two other men who did not belong to the department, were further along on the roof and were caught by the wall. Gray and Morrell of the b's were on the roof with him but jumped. He stayed whero he was and opened up No. b's hose and turned a stream on the debris in order that if any of the imprisoned men were still alive they might not be burned to death. Cox Solected Mis Position. In roply to a question the witness stated that it was customary for the captains to select their own positions when they at a fire without waiting for orders from the chief. He had apprehended no danger when he went on the roof as the wall seemed per- fectly solid. He considerea the roof of the Maurer building as the place where Cox would naturally have gone, as it offered the ‘best point of vantage from which to throw a stream upon the roof of the Shiverick build- ing. The center only of the west wall fell 8t the time the men were killed. A huge smoke stack which stood at the northwest corner of the building held the wall up at that point and saved the lives of the men who were on the rear. Acted in Opposition to Orders. John J. Ormsby, driver of hook and Jadder No. 2, arrived in the alley just before Captain Cox went on the roof. He swore positively that ho heard Assistant Chiof Barnes teil Cox not to go on the roof, but to remain in the alley and play upon the rear shutters of the Shiverick building. This occurred ten or fifteen minutes after the alarm was sent in. At that time he could see no reason why the wall was hkely to fall Assistant Chief I statement of the pr that Cox asked him if he should not, line of hoso on the roof of the Maurer building, but he told him to stay where he was and warned him to keep tg the north side of the alley so that his men could get out of the way in caso the wull feil in. He had done this, not because he thought there was any danger, as the walls seemed per- fectly sound, but because he could not sec how it would do any good to get on the roof. At this time the floors had not collapsed, but the wall.and floors came down together 8 few minutes later. Chief lligan's Evidence. Chief Galligan was the next witness called. He said that he was in front of the Paxton hotel when he saw the fire and was on the spet before any of the apparatus arrived. Assistant Chief Salter had churge on the Farnam street side and Barnes directed the movements of the firemen in the alley. The ‘witness was on Twelftn strect, half way be- tween Farnam street and thealley, when the wall fell. He went on to the alley and was told that some of the 7's had been hurt. This was the first time that he was aware that any one had gone on the Maurer building at all, He did not see Cox at all during the fire, and as far as he knew, no orders had been given for men to go on the roof. He consid- ered iv foolish to go there, as there was no good to be accomplished. Tho only reason that he could see for Cox to go there was that he might have thought that by gotting on the roof his stream could reach the roof of the Shiverick building through which the flames were then bursting. Says the Bullding Was Unsafe, The chief stated that the floor joists on the west sidoe of the Shiverick building were scarcely charred when the walls fell. The west wall was sixteen iuches thick as far as the second story, and from there to_the top was only twelve inches thick. It should have been four ipches thicker on the first and second stories. It was his opinion that if the wall had been properly coustructed it would not have fallen at all and would have stood for two hours at loast after the fir broke out. As it was 1t was not over twen five minutes after the alarm was turned in when the wall went down, Fire Was Not from Lightning. 1. E. Loomis, driver of hose company No. 5, was called and said that he was ordered to g0 on tho roof of the Maurer building by Chief Salter. His company had just suc- reeded in getting its hose to the roof when the wall came down, Up to the time of the catastrophe the wall appeared safe, aud he had no idea of dan, The remainder of Loomis’ testimony com- bated the theory that the fire originated from lightning, = His company had come at the first alarm and was stationed in tho alley. His men turned their stream into the elevator shafi through the rear door of the . Shiverick building. He testified posi- tively that the basement was afiro at that time, which would huve been extr: ordinary had the blaze originated in the sec- ond story as was claimed. At the time his y left the door to go on the roof of building the floor of the second story was intact and he was certain that the floors had not fallen in beforo the west wall went down. Oficer C. C. Rouser testified that Captain Cox called on him to help him got his hose en the roof. He aid soand went back up the alley a few minutes before the wall #fell, He was positive that no one had ordered Cox 10 go on the roof in his presence, At this point the inquest adjourned indefi- nitely, ey FUND FOR THE FIREMEN, Mayor Hemls Will Kecelve Donatfons for the Beneflt of the Familles, A movement was started Sunday to raise a fund for the benefiv of the families of the dead and injured firemen. Rev. T, J, Mackay, rector of All aints Episcopal church, took the initiative in the movement and at the close of the morning services made a special plea in behalf of the families of the firemen who fell on Saturday nigh The result was a collection amounting to £50 ‘which will be devoted to this worthy caus estepday afternoon Chief Galligan of the | @épartment received & telegram from ex-Mayor Cushing, whois in Los Angeles, stating that he would give $100 to a fund for the families of the firomen who fell in the performance of their duty. will invite the assistance of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners in making the proper distribution The mayor spoke feelingly upon the matter yestorday, and said: “This is a case where we should proceed conservatively, and do that which will afford needed relief, and at the same time express our apprecia- tion of the valiant services of those brave men, who sacrificed their lives in the per- formance of a public duty. A fund should be created, and it should be placed in hands that will sec it is directed to the purposes in- tended. First let us ascertain the exact condition in which the loved ones are left, and then what is required can be better de- termined. Devote whatever amount is needed for immediate use, and the remain- ing should be invested in a manner that will return well upon the investment. Let some honest, upright, sensible business man place it where the families will derive benefit from it, and make of it a source of revenue to them that wiil not disappear forever in & short time, “I will receive whatever relief is desired to be placed in my hands and as the presid- Ing officer will invite the assistance of the ‘)nlx_l'l‘ commission in attending to the distri- bution and disposition of the same. What- ever we do should be done well. Our ap- preciation and feelings should be shown in a lasting manner, and not by a mere contribu- tion and then forgotten.

Private Baxter on Trinl for Killing & Com- rado—Other C: The taking of evidence was comploted at 11 o'clock yesterday in the case of Burwell Baxter, the soldier on trial in the federal court for manslaughter, and the attorneys were each given an hour and a half in which to present the two sides of the case. The prosecuting attorney had the identical knife with which the accused stabbed Eli P. ‘West, a fellow soldier, and in the presence of the jury he opened tho knife and proceeded with the argument, showing the jurors that the blood of the deceased which was found onthe blade of the weapon when Baxter was arrested had become a rust spot. The weapon is a eommon pocket knife which ter purchased, he says, to cut kindling wood with. When West attacked him he was carrying a basket of clothes across the parade grounds. He told West to keep away, but the aggressor kept on pounding him on the back so he took his knifo from his pocket, opéned it and struck the fatal blow. Work of the Grand Jury. ‘‘There is a whole lot of stuff brought be- fore United States grand juries, ” said one of the members of the recently impanneled federal grand juries to a BEE reporter ‘“‘that never ought to be permitted to take up the time of busy men or to pile up costs which the government is obliged to bear.

Inspector Gllbert Says the Company Can Not Make 1ts Clalms Good, The efforts of the Nebraska Fuel Gas com- pany to secure a franchise in this city has precipitated a lively row in the council and among city officials generally. Councilman Sauaders is fathering the ordinance grant- ing the franchise. He believes thatif the company is given the right to construct and operate a plant the fuel question will be solved in Omaha. He pictures a great re- duction in the prices of fuel, and is fully con- vinced that the company is responsiole and will inaugurate the movement, Before introducing the ordinance he paid a visit to Maysville, Ky., where a plant is in operation. The system is known as the Harris_patent, and is the property of the Consolidated Fuel Gas company. The Ne- braska company is an offspring of the former, and its officers claim to have the option on the western territory. Mr. Saunders found a number of plants 1 _operation in the cast- ern and southern states,and he 1s an en- thusiastic supporter of tho proposition to give the company a franchise hicre. The feelgs of the Fifth ward councilman were not contagious and some of the othe: members were not imbued with the same. They were somewhat dubious and lingered between doubtand certainty. The flattering expressions of what the company could do did not have the desired effect, and they held back. Itwas then suggested that if the fuel gas was such a good thing the compuny should the expenses and permit s Inspector Gilbert to pay a visit to the Maysville plant and make a test of it. The proposition met with favorat the hands of the ofticers of the compauy and the trip was made. Mr. Gilbert arrived there ono week ago today and remained until Wednesday. He mado the desired test, roturned homo and prepared his report for the council. It was to have been submitted at the special mecting Saturday afteroon, but a quorum was not present and that made it impossible. The gas inspector maintained silence as to what he discovered. 1t was all mcorporated in_ his report, and was not to be known until the report was d to the council. It did not remain silent, lowever, and fell_into the hands of some of members of the council, and was given away. Mr., Gilbert was not at all pleased over the fact, as he had denied any information to the press out of courtesy to the council and would not say anything until this morning. “You may say.” said he, “that I did not find what was represented to he the case. The company is not manufacturing the gas as cheaply as it claims to be and it cannot do s0, unless you call air gas. and I donot be- lieve that it will burn. They claim to manu- facture 1,000 2ubic feet of gas with one and a half gatlons of oil and fourtecen pounds of coal, The first day I was there 50,000 cubic feet were manufuctured, and it re- quired 6950 gallons of oil and 28 49-50 pounds of coal for each 1,000 feet, Into this was pumped 39,000 feet of air, ac- cording to my calculations, A root blower del eight feet a revolution and there are ninety-four revolutions a minute. Fre 1 took off 16 per cent from the temper: and reduced the amount in that w That was the first day’s test. The second wis far worse, and tho: I will give to the council, 1 do not eare to say more just now, but will fully explain e ything when re- quested by the council,” The ordinance granting the franchise will probubly be up for pussage tomorrow night, If it is not reached a special session will probably be held to consider it.

[unchers whousoand up one end of thefr run n this city wiltgo down to assist in the fes- tivities, Destroyed Wy Riro and Agnin at Work, The Price Baking Powder company of Chicago, whish is known throughout the country for the superior excellence of its bakingvpowder, met with a_serious loss on the morning of May 18, in the nearly total destruction by fire of its factory and effices. No sooner had the flames been subdued than the work of restoration @ommenced, and the comp- any by prudent foresight, having had stored in outside warchouses duplicato machinery, labals and supplies of raw materials’ in- preparation tor any emer- gency was cenubled by energetic management to resume manufacturing within a very few days after the fire, thereby causing its customers but a trifling delay in the filling of their orders, Had the company not been &0 prepared the del would required months of time to get new machinery. It is now forty years since the goods manufactured by this company were first placed on the market, to Dr. Price boing due the distinction of having pre- pared the first cap of Cream of Tartar baking powder ever manufactured in any country. It was a great dis- covery, supsrseding as it did the old method of using cream of tartar and soda separately, to say nothing of salo- ratus, with which the biscuit of early days was embittered. The Price Company has no connection whatever with any other baking powder company or manufacturer, notwithstand- ing representations to the contrary made by other manufacturers whose sole aim is to deceive the public, and borrow the good name and fame acquired by the Price Cream Baking Powder, which is known all over the world as the pur- est and ‘‘most perfect made.” — RINGLING'S CIRCUS. Big Show Surpnsses Former Efforts in Every Respect. People with wild, barbaric blood coursing through their veins are never so happy as when a circus is in town and a parade is on the tapis. Judging from the number of people on the streets yesterday morning the strain of barbaric plood was predominate in thou- sands of anatomies for thestreets oyer which Ringling Bros.’ big show passed were thronged with citizens and their country cousins bent upon seeing the ‘‘elephant and wild kangaroo,” with tho other features ad infinitum, Ringling Bros. give a mighty fine parade, and, asa real circus sky added to the pleasure of the morniag, there was little that the most surfeited porson could desire. Omaha has seen lots of circus parades, but in point of excellence, compactness and now- ness Ringling Bros. excel any similar pa- rade made in this city. One feature of the procession was particularly remark- able, the absence of ' grotesque features on the tops of the vans, which have detracted from the real merits of parades in the past. Bright new paint and gold leaf have made the vans look like things of enduring beauty, while the heavily carved chariots shine resplendent in a joyous June sun. The absenco of cheap and tow- dry trappings were also remarked, the whole aggregation of vans, dens, chariots and horses, to say nothing about the riders, being in fine dndition, reflecting a broad ana hberalopolicy on the Messrs. Ringling which in these days of catch-penny features is as delightful as it is surprising. Whether the circus of these latter century days is just as startling and as meritorious as the circus was in days of boyhood and girlhood, to those who have touched the middie periods of life, is a much mooted question. The old timer talks of Van Am- berg, Robinson and Dan Rice's “‘aggrega- tions” with roseate glow on face as he re- calls the callow d: of his circus-going career, but nonc of these, when ull is said, ean in anywise compare to Ringling Brothers' show which played to two big houses yesterday at Twenticth and Paul streets. There is snap and go about the perform- ance given by these well known showmen, and all the acts are worthy of mention, but where so much is given that is excellent, the only thing to do is to pass upon the ensemble ‘and let it go at that.” Taken in its entirety the performance is much better than that given by the Ringlings last year, more acts being introduced and a greater v of “turns” being interjected. C Fish heads the list of riders, followed closely by the Reno sisters, May and Blanche, whose art is particularly graceful and attractive. al- though theré seems to be a studied attempy on the part of modern equestricnnes to tear down all the idols of the long ago, for the no sisters are riding in silken skirts in- ad of the tarleton costumes of tho afore- me.

The old Springfield rifles will be replaced by the new implement of destruc- tion and the Springfields will be stored for cases of emergency. Speaking of the matter today an army officer said: “It will be possible for the state militia com- panies to secure the use of some very good guns, no doubt, within a few years. When the regulars are furnisned with tho Krag- Jorgensen guns they will lay aside the Springfleld rifles they now carry, und these are good guns, The stock of old guns may come in very good playin case we should want to call for a good sized army of recruits at any time, The Springfield gun is a good, all round gun, but competent men seem to be convinced that the new Krug-Jorgensen gun is better.” —_—— Don't forget to take a few bottles of Cook’'s Extra Dry Imperial Champagne with you on your summer outings, p?
