A vacant house belonging to a man named Milledge, who works for John Flageolle, burned yesterday morning at 4:30 o'clock at 1320 Sixth avenue, It was totally destroyed, but the damage did not exceed about §100. It was undoubtedly the work of incendiaries. [ox, alias Webb, alias Baxter, has askea for a continuance of the case in which he is charged with having stolen Mrs. John Met- calf’s diamonds, The continuance will re- sult in the postponement of the trial until the last of next month. Thereis a suspicion afloat that it is his intention to get free in this way, as the charge will be three years old and over by that time and consequently outlawed. An inquest was held yesterday over the remains of Frank Saunders, who was killed Saturday night in the Rock Island yards. Awong those who testitied was James Burns, the engineer on the switch engine. He stated that only the night before the accident he had told Saunders not to chmb on the engine, as it was not in his line of work apd there was no necessity. On the strength of his evidence, the jury returned a verdict finding that the deceased met his death by an accident, for which he alone was to blame, and exanrrated the railway company from all blame in the matter. 'L wo of the prisoners attempted to saw out of the city jail h‘unda‘y night. They wore dis- covered with a lot of blankets piled upin fron of the door leading from the front corridor to the back, which is always kept locked. Their ‘suspicious attitude, together with the fact that they had kept up a reat racket all night long, led to an uvestigation, when it wus found that they had sawed off one of the heavy iron bars in the door and in & short time wouid have gotten into the back corridor, from which it would bave been easy for them to force their way through the brick wall to the juil yard, The two fellowe who did the work are not confined in the steel cell.

BOTH ARE IN DANGER OF DYING NOW Wiatt Suffors Severoly from the Stabs Re- ocelved, While Crafts Is jonten and Bralsed Terribly—Their Chance to Recover Is Slender. Offiders Wiatt and Crafts of' the police force were badly hurt in their Bast Omaha encounter Sunday night. and although the chances are that thoy will recover, there is enough uncertainty about it to make their condition by no means a pleasant one. Wiatt was stabbed twice in the back, one of the wounds being on the shoulder and the other in the back about midway between the spine and the shoulder biade. The latter wound is a very bad one, the knife blade en- entering about three and a halt inches. It causes him great pain at every breath. Wiatt says that ho and Crafts were simply overcome by force of numbers, the toughs being about twelve or fifteen in number. OCrafts' injuries are if anything more seri- ous than Wiatt's, T'he toughs got him down and kicked him and stamped upon him. Al his wounds are about the head and face, which look as though it wouid not have taken much more to make it a case of out and out murder. One eye is entirely closed and the other almost closed, while his entire head and faco are one mass of bruises, lx\v()]lon and mangled almost beyond recogni- tion. Dr. Macrae, Jr., who is attending them, says there isa good chance for their recov- ory, although it is impossible at present to teil’ positively what will be the outcome, The hot weuther may bring about blood poisoning or somethimg of the kind, but aside from that possibility he thinks their chances for pulling through are good. Oficer Wiatt thinks he put a hole through one of the desperadoes. He shot three times, the first time squarely at the breast of one of them, and nhe thinks the ball could not have Dbeen entirely wasted. He knows the face of the man that did the stabbing, and has furnished a description to the police. LOWER THAN A BRUTE. Cowardly Cur Distributing Polson to Kill Valuable Dogs, The dog polsoning industry has taken on new vigor recently on Park and Glen aveaues in the vicinity of the High school building. Within the last four days five dogs have tufned up their toes as the result of the doings of some unprinci- pled scoundrel to whom the owners would like tohave a chance to administer some of his own medicine. Two of the dogs be- longed to R. L. Williams, and oue of them was a fine Newfoundland whose master vulued him highly. Robert G lost a 50 Irish seter and L. Kirscht an ani- mal for which he had lately refused an offer of 75, in the same way. T. A. Cavin's pet pug followed in the footsteps of his" brother unfortunates. Yesterday morning G. M. Washburn found ‘a viece of meat rolled up with poison inside it and tied tozether with a piece of white bread, the morsel having evidently been prepared for Wasburn’s dog. The parties interested have a suspicion as to the identity of the guilty one, and will make an effort to give the police court judge a job. Justice Field aeported a peculiar case in the same line yesterday. His dog and an- other dog were playing about the yuard with the samo bone. After they had enjoyed themselves awhile the other dog sud- denly lay down, heaved a few sighs, and gave up the ghost. A moment later Mr. Field's dog did the same thing, all but giv- ing up the ghost. Mr. Field pumped him full of lard in order to save his life if possi- ble, but it seemed to do mo good, 80 he seized a spade ana made the preliminary arrangements for a first class funeral. On going back to the corpse he was somewhat surprised to find that it had vanished. The lard had done its work and the dog was skirmishing around looking for more bones with strychuine. Mr. Fields has an attractive grave which he will sell cheap. MOTHER AND SON HURT. Serlous Result of a Runaway Accldent on East Broadway. Mrs, B. S. Harrington and her 9-year-old son Claude met with a terrible accident, and one that came very near being fatal for them both yesteraay morning. They were driving from their home on Elliott street to East Broadway when the horse's good sense was overcome by his animal spwits and he commenced to run, A short distance from the Keeline place there is a deep gully running alongside the road and a -vashout, running nearly six feet in front of the approach of the iliott streot bridge over the gully. One of the wheels of the buggy in crossing the bridge fell into this washout place and the vehicle immediately slid down into the gully. The horse was going at u terrific pace, and in an- other instant the buggy capsized, landing the occupants in the gully with the buggy on top of them. Some men happened to be working not far away, and they ran to the rescue, ‘The little boy was unconscious and as limp as & rag when he was picked up and carried to an adjacent house. It was at first thought that his injuries would prove fatal, and the report was'circulated that he would not last until noon. He later showed signs of improvement, and it is now thought will recover. Mrs. Harrington was less fortunate. She sustained a compound fracture of the shoul- der bone and collar bone, and it is thought that one hip and several ribs are also broken. One ankle was sprained and she is suffering terribly from the effects of her ex- perience, The accident is likely to cost the city a good round sum in damages before it is allowed to be forgotten. The place has been noticed before as one likely to be the scone of a serious accident, and the only wonder is that the looked-for accident has not oc- curred before, Mr, Harrington annouaced his intention of bringing a suit for damages against the city for its negligence in allow- ing such u death trap to go without looking after, Ouce Too Often, John Brodine and Charles Douglass vio- lated the well known law that hightning must not strike in two places, yesterday, and they paid the penalty of their folly, Several days ago they did wup a resident of this ty for $0 by a stale confidence trick. The trick was turned in Des Moines, and when they argived in the city yesterday it vas with a view to finding more worlds to conquer. Their vie- tim saw them and recognized them, but did not introdvee himself. On the contrary, he put an extra shade of ver- dancy on his countenance and putting him- self in their road, waited for the suckers to bite. They bit, and before the afternoon was over they were .latded. They made a date to meet him at the Ogden house, but when they arrived they found Oficers Murphy and Wier there. ‘They were landed in the calaboose, aud when searched a bogus check for §500 was found in their possession, together with a lot of receipts, showing that they had sent packuges by express to I coln, Des Moines and other pla The Council Bluffs man is glad to renew his ac- quaintance with them, and announces his in- tention of seeing that whatever is right is done by them.

Deunis Johnson had a collision with a coterie of small boys Sunday afterncon, and s now laia up at his home at the corner of Avenue H and Thirteenth street. He has been having asgood deal of trouble with & number of the small boys of the neighborhood, and the | 10 between them on Hunrh\{ was whether or not they should be allowed to run loose through his garden. Johnson thought rot, and went after the boys in no very gentle manner to convinco them that he meant what he said. One of the boys suddenly wheeled around let a piece of brick fly at his pursuer, striking him | on the side of the head, 'Johnson fell to the ground and had to be picked up and carried into the Mouss, His head is badly swollen on the side where the brick struck and the fact that he was seriously hurt was attested by the fuct that he ha had bad spells of vomiting ever since th affair took place, TONIGHT HE WAS HELD UP: Conduactor Duncan Has an perience and is Frightened Halt Denth, “Quick! Lot mo hide! let me hidel” 1t was 1. Duncan, a motor conductor on the Main street line, and H. A. Baird, in his store on Broadway, was the one that wi spoken to. It was nothing but a harmless newspaper mun that was following, but Dun- can thought it was & train robber, and he wanted to hide. Four men got on board his train at the corner of Pearl and Broadway, and rode down street. On tho way down Duncan claims that one of them pulled a gun on hhllJ and pointe it at him, with the evident purpose of holding him up. Duncan made one wild jump off his train and ianded in the middle of the street in front of the court house. 10 Spetmun's store and shelled out his money into the hands of the pro- prietor, beggin; him to keep it until morning. The motor man ran the train to the end ot Main street and back, Duncan catching it on the return trip. He rode up to the upper end of Broadway and back, and when he arrived at Pearl street again & reporter for a local sheet geton board to interview him about his experience. Then it was that he thought the train robber was after his scalp again and he made a wild break for Baird's store, He was kindly allowed to take refuge in the cellar, where he stayed for a little time. When he came out he was again accosted by the same reporter. who reached into his hip pocket at the same instant for his note book. Duncan thought he was aftera gun, and let out an ear-piercing yell that could be heard fogblocks. In the meantime word had been sent to the police station that an attempt had been made to hold up a motor train and Marshal Templeton and Ofi- cers Kemp and Peterson went out to find the guilty parties. Near the Wabash depot they ran across four fellows who looked as though they might hold up a train, and they were ran in. At the city jail they gave their names as John A Dressler, D, . Wilfong, William J. Grifin and W. H. McFadden. Nothing sus- picuous was found upon them, and the only thing that could possibly have been taken by the terrified conductor for a revolver was a pair of horse clippers. Appearances indicate very stronely that either it 1s not the right crowd that is now in custoday or itis a clear case of being frightened half to death on the part of the conductor. It is certain that a man is seldlom so badly frightened s was Duncan without finding himself a fit andidate for the lunatic asylum. Those who witnessed his actions sa that he acted more like a crazy man than like one in full possession of all his facult S 4 new man on the road, and had evident], had his imagination wrought up to the very top notch by the frequent reports of train robberies in various parts of the country and especially in this vicinity. Struck and Ran. J. A. Murphy met George Rudio on First avenue yesterday afternoon and dunned him for some money he claimed Rudio owed him for making the fixtures for a saloon that Rudio formerly ran. Rudio did nov have the money, or at all events refused to pay, and the canversation between them waxed warm. Finally Mur- phy applied some epithet to Rudio which did not seem to please him. Murphy was sitting in his buggy with his elvow on his knee and his head resting on his hand. He did not think Rudio would have the courage to hit him, and so did not put himself on the defensive. But Rudio fooled him, and struck him twice before he could put nimself in po- sition to fight. Remembering what a valuable assistant discretion was to valor, he then put one foot before the other several times with a great deal of alacrity. Murphy got out of his buggy, hitched his horse and put chase. Round the block they went and finally Mur- phy caught up with Rudip, but he suddenly remembered it vas unmanly oto fight, and after giving Rudio a chance to hit him again, which that gentieman did not care to do, he declared the seance at an end. The spectacle created a vast deal of amuse- ment for the people who happened to be within seeing distance. Snowball Wanted a Gun, Snowball, a well known darky boy whose real name is Willlam Chesney, is in jail, Up to within the last few weeks he did odd jobs for Sheriff Hazen. A day or two aRo the sheriff missed a revolver that had been left in the officc desk at tho Jjail. Snowball had not been working for him, but he had been scen loafing about the placo, and suspicion accordingly fastened 'upon him. Doputy Shoriff O'Brien wont to hin and by means of judicious threats made him pull the gun.a large Smith & Wesson, out of his shoe. He declared that he had merely borrowed it to kill a dog with, but he had_evidently not killed the dog yet, as all the shots were still init.

Avominations Devoured at the Average Dining Table. “ eat in the dining room of a popular hotel the other day,” remarked an emi- nent physician to the New York Ledger reporter, ‘‘and took note of the articles which some of the people were eating. I had but just come in from attending the e s of & graduating class in medicine, and it struck me with a sort of grim humor what a delightful coin- cidence there was between the two occu- pations, I had been taking part in the graduating of a large number of medi- cal students, and now I was absorbed 1n the contemplation of their future sources of income, and the outlook for the students seemed a wonderfully bright one, for there were seeds of suf- fering in nearly every order that the waiter took from most of the guests. “‘One party in particular atforded mo no end of amusement, not, however, un- mixed with disgust, for even though prosperity for my profession lay in theiv conduct, I was s0 shocked at their lack of sense that I think if there had been a sudden call for a physician Ishould have sat quietly by and seen them suffer any amount of pain rather than have an- nounced myself as a disciple of the heal- ine art. The number of abominations that these people devoured was some- thing startling. I use the word ‘de- voured’ advisedly, for there is no other term that will in any way fit the case. “There were raw shell-fish on ice, al- most boiling-hot sdups, with enormous draughts of ice water, probably to cool off the parched throat, wines of various sorts, the richest, heavier meats, vege- tables highly seasoned and relishes in quantity. These were followed by rich pastry, cake and confectionery which were largely composed of sugar and oily substances, and _ice cream, water ices and the like, followed by nuts, raisins and various tropical fruits. It scemed that there must be either a special prov- idence or a digestion of an ostrich to en- able these people to assimilate such a conglomeration of almost indigestible materials. I wonder if peopls will ever learn that fruit and vegetables grow in the summer to be eaten fresh. 1t is bad enough to live onaneats and rich food in winter or when the fresh products of the garden are not to be had, but to pass these by and satisfy the uppetite with made-up dishes is really something dreadful. The conduct of these people was in striking contrast with that of a couple with whom I dined on the following day. They have a pretty little country house with grounds, a latge garden and a very small daivy. The vegetables wore sim- ply porfect. The luncheon wus served with the statement that it was entirely outside of the conventional. I re- marked that if the conventional was what I hed witnessed the day before, I was glad to be not only outside of it, but out of sight and hearing of itas well. We sat down at the table, and freshly picked greea peas, new potatoes, with bread, butter and tea were served. Fresh lettuce and erisp radishes were a part of the meal, and little trays of olives were placed within convenient reach. For a dessert there was a large dish of red raspbernies and a plate of home-made sponge cake. Thera wasn't the faintest suspicion of meat about that meal, and I think it would be impossible to make anyone understand how deli- cious it wi “While I appreciate the advantages which the membersof my profession de- rive from the diet of the human family, 1 do earnestly wish I might sce a more rational, sensible fashion of living. It is really distressing to realize that all of this means the most acute suffering, not alone of the foolish persons themselves, bnt to their unfortunate and innocent children. If they alone could sufler the penalty of their folly I would make byt little objection; but that cannot be, therefore I feel called upon to make a vigorous protest.” ——— Piies of people nuve pies, out De Witt's Witch Ha: salve willcure them. i e e TAKEN FROM A MUMMY, The Strange Scarfpin Owned by a Seattle Man. A well known gentleman of Seattle tho other day handed to a reporter of a local paper a curious looking scarf- pin, the head of it being of the size of a small marble, such as is used by boys. In color it was a peculiar reddish amber and seemed to contain a strange lifelike heart, from which a drop of blood appeared ready.to fall. “A heart of fire bedreamed with haze,” < “What is it?" asked the reporter. “It is an eye taken from a mummy,” was the reply. “Where was it taken from?’ was asked. “T was at Arisa, Peru, 1n 1882 and took it from a mummy myself,” was the reply, A numbor of young men and myself one day were out for sport and dug up half adozen mummies for the suke of secing what they had been buried — with, We found money, pieces of pottery, ete., but did not strike a gold mine. Nearly all the better class of mummies seemed to have these eyes in them, and I took this from one of them. I could not learn what it was. Some people in Peru con- tend that it is the natural eye preserved and hardened in’some manner, while others think ivacfish’'s eye. They do not bother their heads much about it down there, however., The fact that these eyes are found in mummies is suflicient for them. I have never heard of any tradition cdnnected with them, “I took the eye to a jewelry store in San Francisco and tried to get it pol- ished, but could net, although half a dozen men worked onit. The powder ising from it while they were at work would make them deathly sick and also get .n their eyesund blind them tem- porarily. You see, that it has scaled off in places. I finally had it set in this pin as you see it."” 1 ——— Piles of people ave pues, put De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure them, e e A Would-Be.

For the next five days the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific will undoubtedly do the westbound business, the Great Northern having sustained o great less in the burning of a bridge on river, which nas tied up affairs on tho Sage of St. Paul's line of raus since July 4 and which will take until July 15 to rebuild, But the moment the road 18 again open for travel i is reasonuble to expect that Mr. Hill will make the first class west bound rate trom Missouri river and S Paul to Portland 20, second class $15. Then just as soon as his competitors are in a posi- tion to meet these rates he will cut the fir class rate to £15 and second class to $12, and 80 the fignt between these heavy woights of the transcontinental territory will likely go on all summer. But with the completion of the Canadian Pacific into St. Paul August 1, a much more formudable rival will appear'in the fields than even Hotspur Hill has met in tho past and everybody is kept guessing s to what effect tho entrance of this new system will have upon the transcontinental situation, Mr. Lomax, speaking about the nebulous condition of transcontinental affairs, said “Naturally the position of the Great North- ern is tome much more ominous than the discussion of matters in the Western Vas- senger association. In meeting the rates made by Jim Hill on westbound business from the river only the most aggressive policy on the part of a competitor could have brought about such u condition. Of course the Gr Northern has everything to win in this fight. Hill has a new d and res to build it up and popularize it, so ‘tish to his net.’ Howe: fic will shortly take a hand in the matter, and no man knows what its po- sition will be in this connection.

Cuicaco, July 10.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The railroads have thrown a crumb to the publiz in the way of reduced World's fair rates. At the meeting of the Western Passenger tion today a plan which has been under consideration for scv- eral days was flnaliv adopted. It provides for four excursions from points within the territory of the association. These excur- sions will be run July I 4 and 31 and Au- gust7 and passengers may return cither fcur or eleven days after the going date. The territory within which there is the keenest demaud for low rates to the fair will not be benefited at all by these excur- sions. It is provided that round trip tickets will be sold at one fare. But there is the important provision that the minimum rates in the southwest and west shall be 215 and in the northwest §13.75. This means that the territory between Chicago and the Mis- souri river and between Chicago and St. Paul will not be benefited at all. 1t is only points west of the Missouri river and west and north of St. Pavl that will receive any benefit from these excursion rates. Some Furthor Prohibitions. The excursion tickets will be good only for continuous passage on definite dates and they will not be good in_ sleeping or parlor cars, except that those tickets to and from Montana, Utah, New Mexico or Arizona may bo honored in tourist or immigrant sleepers where regular lines of such cars are now in operation. The railroads are prohibited from running extra cars even of the immigrant ¢'ass, Re- ducea rates for one-way continuous passage tickets will also be made on the dates of these excursions on a< basis of $1.25 loss than the existing special continu- ous passage one way rate. The members of the association admit that they are simply experimenting with the World’s fair trafe, They are working on the theory of muking the rates all the traffic will stand. Before they adjourned today they agreed to meet again July 28 to see what effect these oxcur- sions were having and whether they could longer stand out against the demand of the public for reasonable fare to Chicago. Cut on Pacific Cotst Rates. The Western Passenger association today took up the matter of Pa coust rates, and authorized the Union Pucific to meet the rates of the. Great Northern and Northern Pacific, by putting in a rate of 33.60to Chicago from the Pacific const, via Omaha and the North- western road only. The rates will apply from Kansas City, Leavenworth, St. Joseph and Atchison by adding the southern rates to those points to the Western Pussenger as- sociation southern rates to them. The rates are to go into effect at once. In addition to the regular bi-monthly meeting of the Central Traffic ussociation for the lines tomorrow, a meeting of the gen- eral managers has been called. The most important matter they will consider is the action of the Grand Trunk in placing its tickets on sale in several cities in violation of the association rule: The eastbound shipments, except live stock, amounted to 45,749 tons last week, against 47,400 tons the week before and 51,708 tons the corresponding week last year. The gross earnings of the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul for the year ending June B0 was §33,907,554, ngainst §32,358,508 for the previous year, Henvy Saits Against the Northwestern, CEpAR RAvIDS, Ta,, July 10.—[Special Tele- gram to The Bee]—Five shippers brought suit in the federal court in this city today againsy the Chicago & Northwestern, two for §100,000 each, one for $50,000, one for $10,000 and one for §.000.
