* 4 x ol THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1894 Y. M. C. A DEFEATS GATES Remarkably Olean Game of Foot Ball'Won by the Omaha Ohristians, EVENLY MATCHED IN ALL BUT SKILL Visitors Not Up to the Fine Points of the Game -Omaha's Dacks Do Some Fine Work—Line Was Also Good. The Gates College Foot Ball team played a game of foot ball yesterday afternoon out at the Y. M. C. A. park with the Christian | eleven and was defeated by the score of | 82 to 0. The two teams were very evenly | matched as to welght, but the home team had far the better of it in skill and knowl- | edge of the game, and the work of their backs was superior to those of the visitors. After the line of the Y. M. C. A. team got down to work they were much better In both blocking and offensive play, while the Gates line had several weak spots, es- peclally between center and left guard. During the early part of the first half meveral Gates men broke through and made tackles behind the line, but they could do so rarely after that, and they were somewhat weak in breaking up inter- ference. The game, on the whole, was a very fair one, and, what [s of as great importance, it was a very clean one. There was no un- geemly squabbling, as has occurred very often. The Gates boys appeared 1o be geri- tiemen, every one of them, and played a gentlemanly game, and the same must be Bald of the Christians, The captains did all the talking and there was very little Kicking_against the decisions of the offi- fals. There was no fouling. It was the ind of a game a foot ball enthusiast likes to See: A hard game, for the Gates boys made Omaha work hard, despite the score, and one that was not disgraced by un: seemly acts and language. WORK OF TF Gardner played in the coaching to be hool he will make a very s running s hard and fast and he is a yery hard runner to down.

For some rea- on his kicking yesterday was not good. fSuraick maket the other of u very Bood ir and_he also played a good game yes- lerday. Van Camp was slow 1o find a hole and he did not follow his Interference. When he got started, however, he made me very good runs, one in particular of ty-five yards. The backs on the other side had & hard iine to buck against and could make only small gains, The work of the quarter was good, He tackled well and got his man frequently behfnd the line. Of ‘the line men Waltemeler did the best work, breaking through often and getting his man, and it was very rarely that the ?xnn!r dould get pass him on elther side o LAYERS shape. With .’ larger good back. leman also played an efcellent game at ackle, both in blocking and ~getting through, and when he got the ball he ran very hard, but hardly low enough, and always made good gaind. He made one beautiful ‘ru between rignt tackle and uard for sixty yards, and also scored a ouchdown. On the other line the right end, ree, who was hurt in the secomd half and retired, played an excellent game. OMAHA SCORED QUICKLY Gates won the toss and chose the south goal, Gardner kicked off.

BUILDING WAS A REGULAR FIRE TRAP Lodgers Were All Supposed to Be Out of the Bullding Untll After the Fire Was Extinguished—Bodles Only Identi- tied by Their Location. SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 27.—Eixteen per- sons—ten men, three women and three chil- dren—were burned to death in the West Street hotel early this morning, The bodies thus far identified are: F. BOLMAN. M. M'SORLEY. ANGUS M'DONALD. C. WILSON. ANDERSON. ANDREW OTTERSO MRS, OTTERSON, Andrew's mother. MRS, HUFFMAN AND LITTLE SON AND DAUGHTER. MRS. J. H. HANCOCK of Rolfe, Ta., and lier three children, two girls, aged ¢ and 2 years, and a boy, aged 4. C. GRAHN, a laborer, The bodies of four men, one woman and one child are unidentificd. All were o badly burned that recognition is almost im- possible. The West Street house occupicd the upper floor of a two-story corrugated iron building that covers a quarter of a block of ground at Columbla and West streets, one block from the Northern Pacific depot and near the business center of the city. The building was a mere shell® of wood, covered with fron. There were scv- eral exits to the streets, but they were nar- row. the halls were narrow and the rooms small. A wholesale business house occu- pled the ground floor. The hotel being near the depot, and a cheap but reputable house, was much patronized by country people. The fire was undoubtedly caused by the ex- plosion of a lamp in the kitchen in the rear of the house. The proprietor's son was aroused by the noise about 1 o'clock, but be- fore he could investigate the flames seemed to have spread all through the house. The corrugated iron sheeting kept the flames hid until nearly the whole interior was a furnace. The thin partitions were of resinous pine covered With cheesecloth, and burned furiously. It was not until the flames were seen burning in the windows by people in the streets that an alarm of fire was turned in by a policeman. When the firemen. & rived the fire did not present an alarmin aspect. The people at the windows were rescued with ladders and boards, some ¢ caping with hardly any clothes. A woman who was carried down by a fireman screamed out that her baby was in the building and a fireman went up a ladder and brought it down. D. B. Glass, Bdward Havlin and C. B. Johnson jumped to the ground and were injured so badly that they were taken to a hospital. All will recover. The crowd In the street then supposed that the lodgers had all escaped. GUESTS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ESCAPED. The firemen played water through the win- dows and were rei:forced by the fire boat ere the bullding being only a short distance from | the water front. At 2:45 o'clock . m. the fire was under control and the firemen were able to enter the shell of iron. At the hea of the stairs at the West stree entrance they found the body of a mar pinned to the floor by the ruins of a bed. He had apparently just heard the alarm and was dressing when overcome by the smoke and suffocated, for the only clothing he had on were his trousers and boots, He was carried to the foot of the stairs by the firemen and taken to the North- ern Pacific depot, wrapped in a comforter. The body was horribly burned. Continuing their search, the firemen discovered corpse after corpse, until at 4 o'clock they had counted fiftcen. Subsequently another was found. Most of the bodies were left where they lay until daylight, in the hope that the pro- | prietor might (dentify them by locating the rooms on the register, for all the bodies ex- cept two were charred beyond a possibility of recognition. One poor fellow was caught in the rush of the conflagration near the top of the West street stairway and sunk down svercome with the smoke and flames. The firemen fought to keep the fire away from his body, but were driven back. In one of the hallways a body, charred black and without a vestige of clothing, was found. A little farther on in the same passageway was an- other body, evidently that of & woman, face upwards and hands outstretched as If fight- ing for her life and appealing for ass| which never came. There was little lefl of the woman’s form, for part of the body was charred and the burned bones lay around it. In another hall or passageway was another body. It was evidently that of an aged woman. Her body was fearfully contorted and her face was upward and the form pre- sented was that of one who had died in the most violent agony. The burned arms and hands were uplifted, and in one blackened hand was a handful of hair, as if she, in her agony, had clutched it in despair when the fire came upon her. SADDEST SIGHT OF ALL. The saddest sight of all was found in an inside room off the passage which led to West street. There, calmly lying in a charzed and blackened bed, was evidently an entire family. The father lay on one ide, the wife next to him, and a little burned and blackened arm, the flesh falling in shreds from it, the small fingers clutched, showed that a little child was among the’ victims. In an adjoining room was a still more horri- ble sight. In a corner of a small inside room two charred and naked skeletons met the gaze. The flesh was burned from each, and the first, that of a man, with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be fighting an impending danger. Immediately beyond hi also boldly upright and clutching his waist, was the skeleton of a woman. Startled, they had risen from tireir couch, the smoke and flames had rushed in upon them, and before they had realized their awful danger, | they were overpowered and met the most horrible of deaths. In a portion of a hotel where the flames did not destroy the wood- work, the bodies of two more were found One man was completely dressed and the other was In his night clothes. They were suffocated by smoke. In cne of the ruined rooms at the end of &.parfow hall under a broken window, where one man was found dead, is a white streak ©n the wall un- touched by fire, untarnishied by smoke, kept thus by the upraised: arm of this victim, where an arm rested agaigst the wall, when, in a last struggle, he reached upward *for help in als awful agony. In the corner of a room where the upper paris of the walls are burned away is an unboried spot upon the floor and on both the corner walls.

Most of the bodles were wrapped In stained and dirty bed glothing from the store rooms of the burned hoel. Some of them were so badly burned that only the wrappings held the body and trunk from falllng asunder. As the rigor of death had long before set in, it was almost impossible to straighten out the distorted limbs of some of the dead. One corpse, that of a man whose head was burned entirely off, was bowed up ain.ocst as if tied in & knot. He had died on his hands and knees, with his face buried in the bed clothes. The bodies of two of the little girls were naked and were distorted inlo shipes hardly human, Their iitile bands and feet were entirely consumed, and only the ends of charred bones of legs and arms remained.

COAL DOCKS BURNED, Sparks from an Engine Started a Fire Which Consumed Much Valuable Propsrty. PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct. 27.--Fire today destroyed the coal shutes belonging to the Export Coal company, and the Immense warehouse of the Louisville & Nashville rallway and valuable property situated on the Louisville & Nashville coal docks. The fire caught on a warehouse from sparks from the hoisting engine which was at work disckarging a cargo from the Norweglan bark Amity. It had been burn- ing some time before an alarm was sent in, and the flames were furiously licking up the wharf and buildings when the fire de- partment reached the scene. 1leets of tugs lessened the danger to the shipping by haul- ing the vessels out in the bay. The Loutsville & Nashville owned the w house and coal shutes and several smaller buildings which were destroyed. One-half of the dock was burned, together with twenty cars, some loaded with coal and others empty. The warehouse contained 500 tons of salt, which 1s a total loss. The Norwe- glan bark Eloise, which was lying at the dock, had most of her rigging burned, and was only saved by being towed out into th stream, and the bark Amity was also con siderably damaged. At 11 o'clock, while fire- men were working on the warehouse, several barrels of oil exploded, seriously, if not fatally injuring Chief Baller and a fireman named Briston. A sailor on board the bark Eloise was killed and another badly injure by a topmast which was burned so it fell, knocking him overboard. The fire is now under control. The damage is estimated at from $100,000 to $125,000, —_—— FAOM SOUTH OMAHA, Sensatlon Among the Wholesale Grocers in Philadelphin. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.—Something of a sensation was created among wholesale gro- cers of this city by the acton of the large wholesale firm of Trimble, Sides & Co. In cutting sugar prices one-third of 1 cent by selling 1,000 barrels of granulated sugar at 4% cents per pound, less tho refiners rebate, | which is three-sixteenths of 1 cent on 100- barrel lots, with an additional trade discount of 1 per cent for cash. There Is an agree- ment among the Wholesale Grocers and Importers exchange not to undersell the | rates quoted by the refiners. When the news of the action of Trimble, Sides & Co leaked out considerable feeling was mani- tested. yme of the prominent members of the exchange claimed it would break up the organization. It s sald in Chicago, Detroit and one or 0 other western c.ties | that granulated sugar, which costs 4 cents per | pound, plus the freight charges, had been selling at 4% cents. A member of the firm involved says there Is no cause for bad f ing in the matter as the sugar sold was stoc his firm had bought some time ago when refiners were selling at 4 cents, and he made the sales to well known jobbers in 100-barr lots at 4% cents, with the usual discount and an agreement that they would not sell at less than the regular charges made to the wholesale grocers by the refiners. He anticipated a drop by Monday to 4% cents and concluded to make a profit.
