Tho Beautiful Nebraska Villas Suffers Heavy Damage. YoitK. Neb., Noy. 20.--X disastrous lire broke out at 7 o'clock this morning in Sinick's billiard hall, in Union block, and before noon the Union and Masonic blocks, containing seven stores, one hun dred feet deep, had gone up in flames and smoke, involving u loss of over 100,00i). The whole south side of the blocii facing the court house is laid waste with the exception of tho opera block. The buildings were owned by Anton Simmerer, of Nebraska City, ('. J. Nobcs, Hamlin Uros. and M. D. Eiiw!, who have only a partial insurance. Tho heaviest losers are the owners of the building and the following occupants: Carl Simmerer, general meixh 111 lice; Uarr liron., furniture, F. D. Whedon, postoitice; W. C. Frank, news and books; Smick's billiard hall; Vail fc Greene, boots and hIkis; S'nger Manufacturing company, sewing machines; Kwin Hut ler, dry goo Is; Coles oc Thomas, groc r ies; W. H.

Williams clothing; leader Iiros., & Co., confectioneiy; Ira A. Smith, jew eler, and th-; Citizen's Stat-; bank, oceu pants of the opera block, are jIs heavy losers on account of moving their stocks into the street. All the county offices were in the opera building and narrowly escaped being destroyed w ith all the val uable county records. The loss falls very heavily 011 some of our most entcprising md nublic-spirited citizens. The blocks lestroyed were nearly new aud comprised the best business front in the city. The origin of the fire is as yet unknown but is believed by many to be accidental A prominent physician reports that he was returninir from the country at 4 o'clock this morning and saw a light and men playing cards in the billiard hall. As the fire started in this room, it is the generally accepted th 'ory that ome of these men dropped a cigar stub that ignited the building. There is a widespread opinion in fav or of the theory that the conflagration was the work of an incendiary. The ar gument in favor of this theory is that after the fire had gained headway in the Masonic block a blaze was discovered in the district clerk's office in the opeia building which must have be;n set by- one who broke torough the back window. which was found broken open. Post master Whedon saved all the goycrnnu nt jroperty and mail matter in the postof- tice and has the office located in another room and will be open for business to morrow morning, it it impossible to night to arrive at the amount of the in dividual losses or the insurance, .but it is believed that the insurance will net cov- r more than -lOper cent, of the loss. i'iie city was almost wholly without wat er, the city water works being only fairly egnn, leaving the firemen with only a :.-v cisterns for a water supply. The leaviest losers take a philosophical view f the calamity and will probably all reMmu at once. A Fire at Stuart. Sitaut, Neb., Nov. 21. A disastrous ire stai ted in the block occupied l y J.

The alarm was sounded and in less than j thirty minutes the building, which us j 00 by 200 feet and two stories high, was ! entirely consumed. The fire originated j from the explosion ot a lantern (rallied by a watchman in the horse building, setting fire to the hay and straw. He fore the first sdarm ceased sounding the w hole building was enveloped in flames and no one dared approach it, being fearful of the crazed animals. Three elephants were burned up and thirty-six broke from their fastenings and dashed through the sides ' f t!i3 burning structure.

The Final act in Nebraska City's celebrated murder ense has ended, and Mrs Shellenbergcr is a fre? won. an. The- district court room woas crowded all day to witness the last hours of the trial. The defence had a large delegation of ladL's fromN- braska City summoned to testify to the character of the defendant and her treatment of the murdered girl. Several of ths state's witnesses, who had been subpoena -d to appear yesterday, were not on hand end last evening the judge issued attach ments for them, tiie officers returning from Nebraska City this morning with the delinquents. Mrs. Thomas Wyman, Mrs. Ollie Ihuebraker and Miss Edna Gilson were ladies among the number brought 0:1 attachmci&ts. In the giving of this testimony a noticeble fact was that numbers of the witnesses evidently desired to make the testimony as light as possible against Mrs. Shellenberger. The last evidence was given early in the afternoon and the arguments con unv d the time until 4 o'clock'. Judge Chapman charged the jury at 5 o'clock aud the twelveoien retired. After be ing out three hours they returned a ver dict of not gnil'.v. The crime for which Mrs. Si.ellenl e - ger was on trial was the murder of lu r little daughter. Her hushand. who h id already been convicted of the same of fense, it will be remembered, was lynched ,t Nebr.isk 1 City last spring by a mob of neighbors. el1.IT - mnis FKOM 2. TO $10. J0C. V.
