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;

ingthe lire. Cluet A e berry and Ins te

V. K. 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.

WOMAN
of
Shsllenberger Acquitted
the Charge of Murder.
Lincoln, Nov. lit. 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.
