Blake, owner of the Lee hotel at South Omaha, and Nicholas Martin were arrested last evening, charged with arson and murder, being designated by the cor- oner's jury as the partles who probably set fire to the Lee hotel last Friday night. It was expected that the coroner’s jur: would not make a report until this morning ag that was the time to which it adjourned after the hearing of the evidence was com- pleted, but Coroner Maul went down to South Omak last evening and, calling the jury together, received fts verdict, which was: “We find that J. E. Smith came to his death on the 21st day of April, 1894, in the city of South Omaha, by reason of the burning of the Lee hotel; that sald fire was of incendiary origin. The undersigned mem- bers of the jury do further find that from the evidence before them there is reasonable cause to believe that said fire was feloni- ously set by J. W. Blake, aided, abetted and assisted by fck Martin.” The verdict was signed by a the jurors and caused no surpri ular picion has from the fir: the two men now under arrest Not long after the verdict was rendered J W. Blake was placed in jail. Later Nicholas Martin, who was one of the jurors, was found by Captain Van Wie at his room in the Pivonka block and arreste TESTIMONY THAT HELD THEM. The most damaging testimony against the two men given before the coroner's jury was that of Mrs. J. P. Haller, wife of the bar- tender at the hotel, at whos: house Blake majority of for pop- pointed to roomed, and that of Mrs. Kate Carnell, the cook. Mrs. Haller testificd that Blake and a man whom she afterward found to be Martin came in and went to Blake's room only five minutes before the fire was dis- covered, and that when the alarm of fire was given it was fifteen minutes before she could get them to go out and help. Mrs, Carnell testified that she had been warned that the hotel would burn down and some of the witnesses stated that Mrs. Carnell had sald that Blake told her this. Testimony was also offered that Blake and Martin were in a house of prostitution until shortly before the fire broke out Last Friday night the Lee hotel was found to be on fire twice, the first time about 12:30 and the last’ time shortly after 2 o'clock. The first fire was discovered and put out. The later one proved more serious, for the hotel was destroyed and J, B. Smith of Missouri Valley, Ia., was burn>d to death. The fire was started in the Kkit- chen in the southwest corner of the house, and within three minutes the whole house was full of smoke and bursting out in flames appar:ntiy in every part, Just after daylight Chief Fred N. Smith discovered the body of a man, afterwards identified as J. E. Smith, Mr. Smith had gone to South Omaha to meet his wife on her way home from Cali- ggnin. Failing to meot her when the train afrived he went to the hotel and was' ns- signed to room 27, on the third floor. When the, body was found it was seen that the feet and ankles and the hands and wrists were burned off, the head, face and neck badly burned and terribly disfigured, while the balance of the body was not even burned or disfigured, even the Lair was not burned off the body.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 26.—The Northwest- ern Miller says: The Minneapolis mills in- creased their output 19,000 barrels, turning out 182,815 barrels, against 179,240 for the corresponding week in 1893, For April the output promises to be 765,000 barrels, a full average. The weakness in wheat in other markets made buyers indifferent, and it was most difficult to induce them to take hold, even at such quotations. As to export trade, there was a fairly good call for bakers’, and some firms have as much sold as they can make during May. Patents are held too high for much exporting.
