Landvolght, chief of the classification di- vision of the Postoffice department, today presented his resignation to Postmaster General Payne. The resignation was requested by Mr. Payne as a result of the investigation by the inspectors of the charges growing oul of the employment of Mr. Landvolg son in the General Manifolding company ot Franklin, Pa., which had a contract for supplying patented reglstry books to the de-‘ partment. Mr. Landvolght was chief of the registry divislon of the department prior to his comparatively recent transfer to take charge of the classification work of the department. Mr, Landvolght, prepared his resignation this morning and presented it to the post- master general In person. It was brief and merely called attention (o the fact that the only criticism of him was the employment of his son Arnold with the company. It was made to take effect at the pleasure of the postmaster general. Mr. Payhe ofxpressed his regret at the' necessity of the action, but stated that the employment of the. son invelved a:principle which ;must:be enforced. : M, .Landvoight has been in the postal service about twen- ty-nine years.

The Bonaparte- Conrad report recently submitted to the president, it'can be sald, deals with things rather than with persons. ‘The president desired from the speclal ittorneys merely that they should report upon the accuracy of the Tulloch charges.

Later on the president will transmit to congress all reports made to him concern- ing the postal investigations. Those por- tlons of the Bonaparte-Conrad report to be ‘made public will' contain the findings of the attorneys regarding persons who have not ‘been Indicted, but whose offcial actions have been irregular 1f not criminal.

FIRE DOES REAVY DAMACE Partially Destroys Kirsohbrana & Sous’ Howard Street Ba.l.ing and Btook. FIFTY THOUSAND LOSS FULLY INSURED Blase Originates in Rear During Early Morning from Unknown Causes—Spec- tator Sees Man. racture Fire entailing a loss of approximately 160,000 to the firm of Kirschbraun & Sons, 12091211 Howard street, was discovered at 3:45 Thursday morning. The loss In stock and lamage to bulldings s fully covered by insurance. Charles Kirschbraun was asked regard- ing the Insurance carried and said: “We had between $125,000 and $160,00 on the buildings and contents. - This is divided between several companies. I have not yet had time to go over the insurance papers and cannot give you, a moré de- tafled statement. I think our loss 1§ fully covered. The fire broke out in the rear of the bullding at 12i1 Howard street, the fist floor of which Is occupled by Robert Purvis, who s In the commission business and deals in butter, eggs, frults and farm products. Mr. Purvis carries no extra or reserve stock and had on hund only five barrels ot apples and a case and a half of eggs Wednesday night which had been left over from the sales of the day. His loss was therefore nominal. The second floor of the buflding at 1211 Howard street contained the butter process plant which was operated by the Kirsch- brauns. This plant, which was installed at a cost of $,600, 1s a total loss. The third and fourth floors of the bulldings were glven over to storage of perishable goods and upplies, Mr. Kirschbraun stated that fully $10,000 worth of supplits went up in smoke. Practically no damage was sustained by the buflding at 1200 How- ard, a three-story brick, which is occupled throughout by Kirschbraun & Sons. There will, however, be a considerable loss in perishable goods, damaged by the smoke and water A large refrigerating plant which was kept in constant operation to preserve the stocks carried in both buld- ings was incapacitated. Efforts are being made to get fn working order and If this can be done an additional loss in perishable stuft will be circumyented Loss Only Nominal, In addition to the large stock carrled in the bdllding at 1209 by the Kirschbrauns, the commission firm of Perry, Bauer & Erinls, 1213-1216 Howdrd, had 25,000 pounds bf butter and ‘2,00 cases of eggs stored on the second: floor. The value of this stock was slghtly In excess of $5,000. The stock only was damaged and Mr. Perry, who was scen regarding the firm's lo stated that ‘It would“not be great, as the butter and ¢ggs could be @old, but neces- sarily at a reduced figure. : The origin of the fire 18 a mystery. Mr. Kirschbraun * nothing to offer In ex- planation of it. Chief Salter also s In A quandary over it. - Assistant Chief Windham states that the entire four stories of the buflding at 19211 Howard were oh fire when the department arrived. A large volume .of smoke was pouring out of the rear windows of each story and the Interior of the bullding was lit up as bright as day by flames which were t spreading in every direction. In the opinion of the assistant chief the fire originated in the basement and worked its way up to the roof through a large elevator whatt which is r_the south- east corner of the building, and Which was used to convey stock to the,floars: above.” /The “first alarm, the chief sald, came in at 3:45, and was followed by a second, ‘Whicli came in six minutes later. The fire was fought from the front and rear of the building simultaneously and six lines of hose were playing on It at one time. It was one of the hardest fires the depart- ment has had to handle in months, the chief said. ‘ While the bullding in which the fire originated is not & total loss it is evident that it will cost considerable to repair it. The floors are almost entirely burned away and what s left to indicate where they were, {s a mass of charred and blistered timbers. The walls of the bullding do not appear to have suffered from the flames, but the Interlor framework was scuttled. Actor Discovers Fire. The fire was discovered by Mr, Gould, a member of the “False Step” company, which Wednesday night closed an enga; ment at the Krug. Mr. Gould was returning from the Krug to the 8t. James hotel, when he saw bright lights in the upper storles of the Kirschbraun bullding. He told the night clerk at the hotel and an alarm was turned in. Mr. Gould also told the night clerk that he was sure he had seen the f| ure of a man flit across in front of the win- | Qows of the third floor. He could see, he sald, by the bright light caused by the flames which were then burning flercely on that floor. Mr. Gould left yesterday wjth his company for Chicago and his story eould not be ‘verified. The firemen are engaged in pumping water out of the basement of both build- inge, which were filled nearly to the joists of the first floors, The police ha guara thrown around the burned bulldin; John Mangel, driver of hose No. 4, and John Engel, driver of engine No. 4, were carrying a line up the front of the bullding and were at the fourth floor when flames broke from the second. In descending Man- gel jumped from the ladder and fell on his leg, sustaining injuries which took him from work ‘and may possibly confine him to » the house for some time. Workmen were engaged at 3 p. m. yes- terday to tear down a portion of the fromt wall of the west bullding, which was con- demned by Bullding Inspector Carter. A brick cupola with stone capping, which surrounded the front wall and which had been cracked for its entire width of twelve feet, was removed and & part of the main wall taked down for about a oot below the coping. Yesterday afternoon the insurance agents representing the companige with which Kirschbaum & Sons were insured visited the scene, but did not attempt to estimate the loss. Such: estimate will not be made for several daye. Chief Salter persounally supervised the draimng of the basement of both bulldings, which was completed by § o'clock.

DOUBTS, BUT WISHES STICKNEY SUCCESS Says All Roads Must Co-Operate to Perfect Ucheme—Cornelius V; derbilt and John Jacob Astor with Fish, “President Stickney of the Great Western has a great big proposition on his hands in this city,” sald President Stuyvesant Fish of the lllinols Central at the depot yes- ferday. “I am inclined to ihink that he is going to have trouble in carrying out hik scheme, unless he recelves the cordlal support of all the other roads emtering Omaha. My bellef is that there Is more in aha than there is in Mr. Stickney. 1 et Mr. Sticknéy in Chicago Guite a time 8go and I advised him to take his road further west, but he said he was content to make Omaha the terminal and establish a grain market in this city. That is a hard thing to do unless he receives, as 1 say, the ent.re support of the competing roads.” President Fish and party came in this morning over the Iilinols Central in a Special train, it being the annual tour of Inspection of the directors of the railroad. in the party beside Mr, Fish were Sec- ond Vice President J. T. Harahan and di- rectors, Colonel John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chailes K. Beach, John W. Aucliucless, A. G. Hackstaft and O. W. Bolsseoaln, The party occupled a train composed of three private cars and one combination car. The private cars were Marian, belonging to President Fish, Marelnette belonging to Mr. Astor and Cuchilio belonging to Mr. Vanderbilt. The train was in charge of B. Gilleas, superin- tendent of the Dubuque division of the lllinols Central, and Trainmaster F. 8. James of the Omuha division. President Fish has just returned from a four months' stay at the coast and on ar- riving at Chicago sent his wife on to his home in New York City and joined the party of directors which left the Windy eity Wednesday evening. A stop of five hours was made in this ¢city, during which time the visitors were shown about the city by John R. Webster of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company. The train arrived at 7 o'clock and departed at 11 over the Illinols Central bound for New Orleans. Completes Four Months' Tour, John Jacob Astor was the eolonel of the New York regiment which went to Pcrto Rico and served in the late Spanish-Ameri- can war. He s delighted with the west, but aside from making this sssertion he was not very talkative. President Iish, however, was very con- genial and talked freely about Omaha and its future. “There is no question but that some day this ity will be the greatest grain market of the west,” he @eclared. “It has the proper, logation'and desetves to be the cen- ter. I am highly pleased to see such beau- tiful wide rtreets, and from what I have been able to observe of the city this morn. ing on our brief tour It strikes me that the people are wide awake and progressive, If 1 had my way of planning a city, thougl it would be on the prineiple on which New Orleans {8 laid out, with the large grass plot in the center of each street and the car tracks on either side. This saves con- erable paving and less expensive to the poorer property holders, then it is only a small matter to have the grass kept In condition.” 8 No Extenslons. When asked It his road contemplated any large improvements or Chlflm in this ter- titory, he replied; “Our line proper runs to the Missouri river, and it has been there for thirty-three years and will be there for as long a time to come. We contemplate no extension of the system, but & number of improvemerits will be made In this section during the next year. At present we are having a large amount of grading done over in Iowa, and as soon as this is finished the usual num- ber of men will be laid oft for the winter months, as has always been our custom. “Nothing has been done to relieve the ocngested condition of our frelght yards by. the board of directors, but ten new gn- gines were ordered this week and a large number of cars. Last year we bought 11,000 chrs, and this year I think the number 15 somewhat larger—I do not recall the exact figures. 1 would like to see President Stick~ ney accomplish his point, as he is a man deserving of support. Whether he will or not I refuse to say.” Stiekney's Cut Rai The fact that the Chicago Great Western s golng to put into effect a new propor- tional rate of 9 cents on wheat and flour and 8 cents on corn has aroused the freight traffic men of-all the railroads entering the eity. The announcement in The Bee came as a surprise to the majority of them, as it was not expected so soon. A number of the freight officlals knew that a scheme of this kind was on foot, but never dreamed of it being sprung now. It is understood that the new sheet will g0 Into effect October 24, and the matter was being kept under cover so that Presi- dent Btickney might make the official an- nouncement of the new rate himself. Milwaukee and Missouri Pacific officials think this & wise thing and are very eager to see it put into operation. Freight of- ficlals of the Northwestern 8on't see the benefit to be derived from It. One tal remarked: “Stickney Is going to have ble before he goes very far with scheme.” As soon' as the fact became generally known among the rallroad men the freight ofticlals immediately wired their general of- figes in Chicago and are now awalting an- ors. —_— Parks Gives Himself Up.

Yesterday marked the close souri Valley Unitarlan conference which cpnvened on Tuesday for a three-day ses- slon, The morning a short sossfon opened with address on “The Young | Perple's Religlous Union,” by Rev W. 8. Vall of Wichita, Kan. Then followed an address of about an-hour in length upon the subject of “Sunday Schools,” by Rev. J. Lewls Marsh of Lincoln. He dwelt particu larly upon the necessity of religlous train- ing and bible study in the home, as & stim- ulus to children becoming interested in the Sunday school, and to awaken in them a spirit of reverénce for things sacred. He | belleved it was as essential to teach chil. dren a reverence for the bible as it was to teach them arithmetic and grammiar. Dr. Marsh's address was followed by an interesting discussion, and the morning closed with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. John W. Day of St. Louls, Dinner was served by the women of the church to the delegations in the lecture room of the church. During the afternoon Prof. W. H. Car- ruth of Lawrence, Kan., presided and Rev.

Powell of Ord, Neb., opened the session with an Interest- ing talk on “Philanthropy,” which was followed by Rev. Hawley of Chicago, who spoke for twenty-five minutes on the sub- ject of “Mission of the Unitarlan Clurch in Solving the Social Problems.” Rev. Hawley said that the tendency among Christian people to classify themselves according to some trivial difference of creed -or scriptural interpretation was growing less. He sald: “If- we all do our very best there would be no social ques- tions; they would solve themselves. It wa woul spend half the meney that is used to maintaln our courts of justice, police departments and military estab- lishments in alding the poor and unfor- tunate children®of our citles we would ertec3. great change In soclety.” Rev® J. D. O. Powers madé the closing address of the conference. Referring to the evolution of religlous Ideas, the speaker sald: “We are sifting out the per- manent and making it a part of our lives. Consjderable of the old, cargo has been thrown overboard.
