THE OMAHA DAILY BEE RSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895 AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA The Mahoney Block Totally Destroyed by an Early Fire, SAME OLD STORY OF NO WATER PRESSURE Gambling Establishment Suddenly Closed Without the Ard of the Law—Banks Elect Thelr OMcers for the Year—News and Gossip, Yesterday morning an early fire totally de- stroyed the Mahoney block near the northwest corner of Twenty-fourth and N streets, is estimated that the total loss will be about $8,000. The occupants of the building were J. Donavan, paints and wall paper; Thomas Lamb, restaurant, and George Deaver, saloon and gambling roome. From the best accounts obtainable it seeme that the fire started in the restaurant from the explosion of a gasoline stove, which was placed near the dumb waiter shaft. The flames shot up the dummy shaft and inside of | two minutes smoke was pouring from the up #tairs windows. An alarm was sent to the engine house and in an incredibly short space of time both hose companies responded and had streams of water on the blaze. At first Chief Smith directed his efforts to the fire in the chop house, but sceing that the flames were spreading rapidly upstairs and breaking out at the rear the chief at 6 o'clock sent for .the Hammond packing house fire company ‘With this additional stream stationed in tho rear Chief Smith hoped to confine the flames to the Mahoney block, and in this he was successful The building was an old two-story frame structure and was erected a good many years | ago. George De above the s aver, the gambler, occupiel rooms and was in bed asleep when the flame: t through into the second floor. He was awakened by the gracking timbers and the smoke and had barely time to es- cape before fire broke through the windows of the room he had been oceupying. As the well dried wood caught great clouds of dense black smoke arose and then fell, making it dificult for the firemen to get about, as they could hardly see one anothe When the fire finally ate its way through the roof and the supports fell there was a crash and a great shower of sparks and flames shot up fully fifty feet above the building. A gallant effort was made to pour enough water into Donavan’s paint shop to prevent the ofls stored there from catch- ing fire, but the building was doomed from the start, nothng could have saved it. The second floor soon fell, and it was then that great apprehension was felt for surrounding buildings, for huge clouds of sparks, some as large s a man's hand, filled the air and fell upon the frame cottages to the north, Fortunately none of these caught fire, though 10 be on the safe side the familics occupying them hastily moved their goods to a place of safety. The whole south front of the building fell, and the firemen holding the nozzles had a narrow escape from being struck by the burning timbers. Hundreds of men on their way to work in the stack yards and pa ing houses stopped to watch the progress of the fire, and for a time N street and the west side of Twenty-fifth street were black With people. Mayor Johnston and Council- man Mels were on the scene early and re- mained until the fire was under control. Between the burned building on the north and the adjoining structure was a stalrway and a heavy double plank wall. Chief Smith placed a line of hose at this stairway and by hard work the firemen prevented the adfoining building from catching fire, though it was hard work. Brewer & Sloan, the undertakers, —occupled one of the stores. Thelr stock of caskets and undertakers’ sup- pliés was damaged by water and smoke, but thelr loss is fully covered by insurance, Next to the Mahoney building on the east stands a three-story brick structure, the McGinness block, and the store room on the west of this block is occupled by the Drovers Journal. A slight loss by water was the only damage done to the Journal office. The basement of the McGimness block rapidly filled with water. Donavan carried a stock worth about $4,000 and $1,600 insurance, Tom Lamb, 'the restaurant kecper, lose about $500. Deaver carried $1,000 in- surance on his saloon stock and fixtures and will lose about $1,000. The fixtures in the gambling rooms and in Deayer's apart- ments were not insured. In speakirng about the fire this morning Chief Smith sald: “This is the third fire in_this building in the last three years, Each other time we caught it before any great damage was done. The building was an old rattle trap and when the flames got a start I knew we could not save it.”” Mr. Mahoney carried $3,000 insurance on the building, which is a total loss, will Banks Elect Oficors, An election of officers of the South Omaha National bank was held yesterday after noon.

ADVISES BALLOTS INSTEAD OF BULLETS Grand Master Maler Would Exhanst All Honorable Means in Securing Rights Be- fore Resorting to Extremoe Meusures In Dealing with Strikes. % A meeting of engine men was held Tuesday evening at Anclent Order of United Workmen hall, Seventeenth and Farnam streets, called for the purpose of listening to the objects of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemep, as ex- pounded by W. Maler, third vice grand master of the organization, whose headquar- ters are at Peorla, 1ll. In the audicnce were the members of the joint Protective Board of Locomotive Firemen the Unlon Pacific, now In annual in this city, and a number of old-time engincers who were out on in session to hear Mr. Maler. For twelve years Mr. Maer held the position of fireman and engl- neer on the Missourl, Kansas & Texas rail- road and two weeks ago secured a year's leavo of absence to take up the work for which he was selected by the convention. His territory includes eighteen states, British Columbla and Mexico. Mr. Maier is an Interesting talker and has the faculty of making himself perfectly un derstood. He stated that the brotherhood was organized December 1, 1873, at Port Jervis, N. Y., with cleven members, Today the or- ganization numbers 25,000 and through its influence with railroad managers it has been able to raise the wages of its members from 40 to 70 per cent. 'The object of our or- ganization,” said Mr. Maier, “is to make men better, We believe absolufely in arbitration and will exhaust all honorable means to se- cure our just rights before resorting to ex- tremo measures, which of course means strikes. That we have had only two strikes in twenty-one years, the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy and the Lehigh Valley, shows how conservatively our organization is conducted. We firmly believe men should study the social and eco- nomic questions in order that not only them- selves, but their families may be better in every way. And we also teach sobricty and industry. of our organt: to say, believ from our membe ation. The public, I am sorry that the money we collect s is used to further the in- terest of strikes. There is nothing farther from the truth. In the last thirteen years we have paid out $1,000,000 on deaths and bility claims. I am pleased to say that relations with railroad companies are ex- pleasant. ~ We teach our members our tremely that an agreement between a railroad com- pany and our organization means something more than the paper it is written on. We ask from railroad companies our rights, and having once sccured them, we ste that the concessions are not violated. My busine here is to Instruct men in order that they may be better morally, socially and intel- lectualiy, and that wherever they go they will be able to reflect the best thought of our organization, We believe it to be for the bast interests of labor to organize, but that organization must be tempered \with con- servation."” 5 Mr. Majer was emphatic in his statement that the saloon was not the place for labor- ing men and he looked to the balot as the readiest weapon to right the wrongs of labor. “As for the other labor organizations like the engineers and trainmen and conductors, they are doing much the same work as we are and are materiajly assisted in raising the standard of labor throughout the country.” Mr Maler left yesterday for North Platte and will meet members of his organi- zation at Cheyenne, Laramie, Pocatello, Og- den, Salt Lake, en Toute to San Francisco. The firemen at thelr meeting last evening elected the following officers for the Union Pacific_system. Charles A. M. Petrie, Ellis, Kan., chairman; Fred Lehman, Denver, vice chairman; S. H. Donehower, North Platte, secretary and treasurer, During the evening a large number of them paid a visit to The Bee and took a look through the building. e, Remember a pint of Cook's Extra Dry Imperial Champagne ‘“after a night of it” makes the new day bright. pty Hayden Bros', ad. is on page 5.

Strawn Disparages Namo a Fame of the Great Englishman, OMAHA, Jan. 7.—To the Rditor of The Bee: In a recent editorial upon Gladstone Tho Bee deprec: the tone In which the court organ referred to him and the cele- bration of his $5th anni ry. Are you aware that the organ spoke the truth of him and estimated the man at his true value? Polticall he has ever been a failure, and his blunders in political life have been numerous as his opportunities, There has hardly been a question In the politics of the realm upon which he has not one or more times changed front. The present governs ment in England is composed of men who combined with him for the sake of office only, and lacks the confidence of the greater part of the best people of the nation, It never had any principles for a basis, and like the mushroom bodies that send Peffers to the scnate, has no other foundation than t of opposition to the established order of things. The talk about abolishing the House of Lords is the sheerest nonsense and the extreme of political dishonest mere catch-penny efforts for the votes of the ignorant—the incipient communists and anarchists of the country. 1t Is no secret that men like Bryce regretted the neces sity of taking office under it, and that Har- court has repented of it and is more than restive under the false position in which he is so often placed—that he made the ruinous mistake of his life in joining with it; while the politic acity of Cham- berlain led him to refuse any endorsement of the government's political plans and determined opposition It is with no small regret that a sincere friend of The Bee sees it lauding him under his fraudulent namo of the Grand Old Man. A pretended lover of liberty and opponent of slavery, he bent his encrgies to breaking up the union and establishing a slave power in_tho rebellious states; so that no true lover of our country ean properly think well of him or regard his pretensions to be the friend of the people as anything but a part of his often exposed hypocrisy. = So let not Hartington to join actively in Tho Bee lend its aid to glorifying one- of the greatest of political frauds, and not always a consistent fraud at that. Of course, we do not depreciate his abili- ties as a literary character, but even those abilities have never been directed in a chan- nel to benefit the mass of the people. But aside from his literary abilities, the man is a political failure, his ‘“policy” lines swing in the extreme, and were disastrous to humanity long before as well as since the sacrifices of Gordon in Soudan and the in- terests of Armenian Christians to preserve the sultan as a power in Europe.
