A team belonging to “Dandy” Dunn with a hack attached ran away yesterday morning about 5 o'clock and landed in a ditch on East Pierce strect near the Canning cut.

Woodward Bros., the architects, Everett block, have just awarded the contracts for a beautiful $10,000 residence for Hen, L. E. Williems at Glenwood, Ja. The design is Romancsque and is the first of the kind to be introduced in the west. The exterior porch cornices ard the beautiful Roman ornamentation, which has made the design of anclent Roman buildings so attractive and substantial. Could one of the architects of ancient Rome see the building he would fe:l for the moment that years had not passed, leaving his work lost to the world. In looking through the building you note the easy access to all parts of the house, the beautiful Moorish stairway, old colonial fire- place with seats on each side, the heavy, massive finish, and ceiling cornices similar to the white house at Washington. It will b: one of the fine:t residences in the state and reflects great credit upon the originality and genius of the architects and refinement of its wealthy owner, who has provided a home for himself and family that will al- ways be an object of interest and beauty. A Great Crush at Veoulso 3 1t looked for a while last night like the police would have to be called to prevent tho eager crowd of bargain hunters crushing each other in Bennison Bros. store. The speclal attraction was the cut dress goods sale, when all of the finest fabrics in the stock, #ilks and all, were being sold during the evening at helf the former prices and away below maker's cost. Unmarried men were lured into buying rich and fine fabrics, who seemed afterward puzzled to know what they were golng to do with the goods Mr. Frank Bennison said it was the most sweeping sale he had ever made during all his experience in the dry goods business, and (he most successful in point of the amount of goods sold. He was about half inclined to repeat the experiment again Mon- day, just for the fun of it. The entire day wos several bundred dollars better than the best day's business last year. Jail Birds Kecaptared. Ed Bird and Willam McDanlels, the Oak- land burglars who escaped from the county Jail at Avoca Friday night, were captured be- fore morning by Deputy Sherift John Stubr. Their escape, it was discovered, was made by means of a wooden key. It was a clumsy affair, built by the two prisoners out of a remnant of an old hardwood chair, but it did the work. A posse was formed as s00n as the escape was learned of, and the whols community was thoroughly scoured. Stuhr went to Oali that the fellows win) was found at th near Oakl: rightly conjecturing eck thelr pals. Bird se of Giles Puryea 1d, and Daiels was found in t town. Puryear nn] ‘r-n nafed Brown are implicated in m‘ g list of burglariss charged up to the account of Bird and Me- Daniels, and it is said they could not be convicted without the testimony of the two men who escaped.;(T'he shetiff and his force are consequently considerably elated over their speedy recapture. -U Zoller's Chrmmtmas Prices, This Is what cash ey will do. a large stock, and it must be sold. 28 Ibs.

Keating, an engineer for the stock yards company, who is employed at night and sleeps during the day. Mr. Keat- ing lives at 2414 P street. At 5 o'clock last evening Mrs, Keating stepped out to go to the store, leaving her two children in the Kitchen. She did not expect to be gone but a moment, and as it was about time for Mr. Keating to gel up she did not feel any hesitancy in leaving the little ones alone. The moment Mrs. Keating left the rocm the 4-year-old son, Daniel, stuck a newspaper in the stove, and as soon as it began to blaze pulled the paper out, and in dolng so .set fire to Mis clothing. The screams of the child brought Mr. Keating to the kitchen in one bound. In trying to shield the little one from burning to death the engineer was badly burned on the right hand and a little on his left. The boy's body was frightfully burned, but Dr. Mc- Crann says he will likely recover. Another painful_accident occurred at the Hammond plant. The victim was S. R. Kal- fant.

When the wa:- rant was issued for Taylor the woman swore that he had assaulted and robbed hef. The evidence yesterday was that Taylor did not touch her, that she cut her wrist by smash- ing out a window pane, and that she was not robbed at all. Taylor was promptly dis- charged. The case aginst Jesse Jones, who was ac- cused of aseaulting Bert Campbell, was dis- migsed by Judge Christmann last evening. Jones and Campbell got into an altercation over the address of a woman, when Jones shied a small plaster ornament at Campb:Il's head. The case has b:en hanging fire for two weeks. A half dozen women have re- peatedly appeared as witnesses to testify, but Campbell failed to materialize. Disappointed the Children. A very grievous disappointment was vis- ited upon the larger portion of the pupils who attend school in South Omaha by a stranger Friday afternoon. Through the as- sistance of some lccal influence he had it announced in every school in South Omaha that if the pupils would go to Bauer's hall on Friday afternoon and bring with 10 cents in cash they would draw a prize from Santa Claus for Christmas. 1In addition to this there would be a first-class entertainment. It was 6 o'clock before the man put in an appearance, and then all he did was to perform a few slelght of hand tricks and glve away half a dozen very cheap prizes. The hall was packed with children, and the scheme worked to perfection. Found Dead In Bed. Bern Nelson, a laborer, was found dead in his bed at John Matsen's louse on Twenty- seventh street ~yesterday afternoon. The man had evidently been dead for several hours. Yesterday evening he had a fit and was: taken to his room. He appeared to rally from the attack, and nothing more was thought of his condition until he failed to get up at noon. The room was then entered and Nelson was found dead in his bed. Coroner Maul was sent for. It is supposed that the man had another fit in bed and died from exhaustion. He was undressed when found.

HONOLULU, Dec 14.—(Special Corre- spondence of the Assoclated Press, Per Steamer Arawa, via San Francisco, Dec. 22.) —The talk of the town this week is the un- earthing of an alleged royalist conspiracy. On last Saturday evening the polics went to the house of John E. Bush and arrested him and E. C. Crick on a charge of conspiracy against the government. Upon searching the house seven rifles were found. Soon after being lodged in jall, Joseph Nawahi, a native lawyer, called to see them and was arrested on the same charg2, About midnight W. F. Weed and Emil Klemme were also arrested, the former as an accessory to the conspiracy and the latter for having arms in his posses- sion unlawfully. Several houses of suspects were searched on Sunday, but no arms found. On Monday night a thorough search of the house occupied by Crick brought to light four rifles, two pistols and 150 rounds of ammunition, all of which were concealed under the floor. The prisoners are confined in separate cells and will be examined on Monday next, bail being required in the meantime. Bush has been publishing a small sheet daily in native and English, in which he has been scoring the present government and assuring the natives that the queen would surely be restored, Crick is an English chemist and was implicated in the alleged Walker-Sinclair conspiracy of a year ago. After his arrcst he appealed to British Commissioner Hawes for protection, but was told that nothing could be done for him. Government officials are very reti- cent about the case, but claim to have abun- dant evidence to convict the principal con- spirators. There have been several shocks of earth- quake on the Island of Hawail and one in this island during the past few days.

He pleaded not guilty and his case was set for January 2. The case of Claus Blixt, the self-confessed tool of Hayward in the matter of the crime, was taken up again by the court and was reset for the same day as the Hayward trial, Hayward had lost none of his strange non- chalance as he came into the court room to be arraigned and entered his plea in a manner which indicated that he considered the whole affair but little more serious than a joke. The arralgnment was so planned as to'throw a large crowd which had assembled to see the event off the track, this caution ing been taken on every oceasion when Harry Hayward hias been brought out of his cell. The general feeling, however, fs more of curiosity than retribution. It has appeared up to this time that each man would attempt 10 clear himself at the expense of the other. —_— Gillette Kurrenders and s Out on Bull. UTICA, N.
