"Without n moment's warning , ntO:30 : o'clock yesterday morning , Charles Bowman , a car penter , working at the American National bank building , now in course of erection at the northwest corner of Fifteenth and Dodge Btrcets , was called to moot Ids Maker. li'or eight months Bowman had been work ing for Contractors Arthur & Herd , nnd boarding nt the A'ulloy house at Eighth und Lcavenworth streets. Yesterday ho was Instructed to frame some timbers linino dlately In front of the south oa- trnnco to tbo building In question. IIu WHS busily engaged at bis work-when suddenly there was a sound of breaking stone , nnd before any ono had time to realize what hud hiiDpcncd , the largo stone bracket , Biiiportln | } ! the eastern end of the stone portico tico , that extends over the entrance , fell , striking Howmati upon the head , felting htm instantly to the ground. Ills fellow-workmen rushed to him , picked him up ami carried him into the building , where ho was gently laid upon a pile of shav ings.The The doctor was summoned , but his services wore not needed , na poor Bowman had died before the inedL'pl man arrived. Laving expired , without a struggle , and within two minutes from the tlmo ho was struck hy the brack ot. The cause of tno fatal accident Is a mys tery , as the contractor la chureo of the stone work examines every stone hoforo ills put in place , mid when this stone was laid it was considered both well placed and free from Haws. The stoaowas a lion-Id instrumentof death , being a rough nnd Jagged affair , weighing about tliroo hundred pounds , und as ono cor ner of It struck Bowman squarely upon the top of the head , it crushed his skull as though the latter had been an egg-shell , scat tering his brains about , the limners upon which the poor man had bcca working. As wortl went out that a man had been Wiled , u curious crowd soon gathered about place nnd blockaded thu streets so as to sus pend travol. Sergeant Slgwart was placed in charge of a Rqmul of police and at oneu cleared the prem ises , whllo tlio coroner was notified. Papers in the dead man's pocket showed that his parents live in l.urned , Pawnee county , Ivan. , and telriram was at once sent to his father , M J. llownmn , conveying thnsad intelligence and asking what dispo sition should bo made of tlio remains. Bowman was a single man about twenty- filx yearn of age nnd had no relatives In this pltv. Ho lived in thoVullcy houso. At II o'clock yesterday afternoon Coroner Jlarrignn selected n Jury and the taking of testimony was commenced. David Miller was thu lirst witness railed. i IIo test I tied that ho was nt work near llow- rx * lima and looked up Just as the reck struck fclm ; did not know the cause of the rock bracket falling , but thought It must have been caused by the settling of the front wall. Thomas A. Murray , the stationary en gineer who has charge of the hoisting engine , saw the shadow of the rook as It fell from its place In the wall , Ho saw Bowman n moment before the accident , and thought ho was lu the not of going after some lumber. Thomas Hurd , ono of the contractors , had examined the bracket before It was set Into tlio wall and found it perfect and free from flaws. Ho testified that the bracket \vasof\Vyonilngsaud stone and was con sidered strung and tough rock. Tlio stone ' Mind been in the wall three weeks. IIo thought tbo hreulc was caused by .tho settling of the will. will.William William Arthur , anothcrof the contractors , had examined the stone , both before mid nftcr It was set , nnd was sure it was perfect nnd five from flaws. Benjamin Mclnulst , ono of the stone con tractors , testified thattbestoiiowasof a good quality , well laid and sulllclently strong to hold the stone porch. Ho could not under- I stand , why the bracket broke off. Herbert Uoynolds , the architect of the hulldlng , was called. Ho testiiicd as follows : IIuvo examined the break ; tbo rock wis nor- Ject rend was tested before being laid in the wall and was found capable. of stand a pressure of 10,000 pounds to the square Inch , ilostatod that thu bracket extended three foot In the wall and was anchored inside. He could not explain whv the stone broke off , as the platform ubovo { t had been leveled and the pressure was the aainc upon this us upon the other brackets , of which tbero were tlireo. This ended the testimony nnd the Jurors vtora given an opportunity of going out to cxanilno the stono. An adjournment was then tafiea until A o'clock this afternoon , at which time Archi tect Cleaves will bo called for the purpose of testifying as to facts In relation to the strength of stone , and If possible to throw Boino light upon the cause which produced the accident. _ Look I UK I-'or Wildcats.

The Sclf-Stylctl City Guard Inn Ar- rnlgncil bj Ir , Onpeii. City Physician Oapcn was asked what progress the board of health was making to ward improving the sanitary condition of the city , n subject which received so vigorous n stirring up by the hoard some six. or eight weeks ngo as n , result of startling discoveries raado by TIIE BEE as to the filthy condition of dairies In the wcstorn portion of the city. "I am in about the same state ot mind as the mayor a few weeks ago , " remarked Dr. Oapcn with emphasis. "I nm almost thor oughly discouraged 03 to to the board of health being able to do anything whatever. " Hero the doctor paused , and after rubbing his hands together very vigorously and giv ing his moustache n. pull or two , continued : "I consider that the time has como for mo totalkopcnlv nnd plainly on this matter , and to tell you the real and the only reason why the city of Omaha continues to reap little erne no benefit whatever from its board of health ; to tell you why , after the board has gone ahead and after much careful and very wide research has completed all of Its preliminary work , It llnds Itself utterly powerless to go nhe.id nnd do tor Omaha as Is so badly , so seriously , needed to bo done. "Thoonound the solo cause of the block- mlc to all this Important work Is D , II , Wicelcr , chairman of the finance committee of the city council. "I will start at the beginning nnd make the matter as clear as I think It possible for words to do. "On tno first day of January last , whllo Chicago appropriated $ tl'X)0 ( ) for sanitary matters , Minneapolis and St. i'nul $ JO,000 nplece , Denver $70,000 nnd Kansas City fit- Ow , wo nskcd the city council to give us JIL',000 for the same purpose In Omaha , Immediately Mr. Wbecler'a hands went up nnd his mouth flow open in holy , or unholy , horror. As chairman of the ilnunco committee all the other council- men looked to him as n guldo In matters call ing for the expenditure of monies. Mr. Wheeler gave vent to a perfect tiv.ulo of ex pressions Indicative of his horror that the board of health .should askforso 'stupendous' ' n sum for health purposes in our city. The result of "Wheeler's talk was that the sum was cut down to 1,000. This staggered the board , In view of its Investigations , but what could wo do } Simply nothing. But wo went ahead and did the preliminary work of getting up ordinances , rules , etc. , for governing every phase of sanitary needs , Then T\O asked for money to analyze the death-dealing milk and watcr whlchiicarly the entire population of Omaha was and is using. AVcaskcd for some inspec tors to investigate the horrible dairy out rages which were then and nro now being perpetrated In Omaha. "What did Mr. Wheeler , chairman of the council llnanco committee , reply ! Let the business men of Omaha note well his reply. Ho told us to go ahead and make analyses , appoint Inspectors , eU * . . send the bills in to the council , and , mark you , 'If they were all right and mot the approval of the llimuce committee and the council , then they would be paid. ' "Now , is thcro a business man , n taxpayer , or Anybody in all Omaha , who supposes or has the least idea that the board would llnd it i > ossiblo to get work done under such an agreement ! "Thero is not a person in Omaha who has a spark of business about him who will con sent to work under such circumstances I "To show the utter hypocrisy of this man Wheeler and how evident it is that ho means o hold back even that paltry jy.OOO for the 'urtheranco ' of some pet scheme of his own , or for the payment of some Improvement , in which ho is to get a big slice , lot mo give you an instance. "Thinking to myself that I would put the nan to the test , I employed , in strict accord ance with a resolution passed by the board , a > crsou to keep the records. For work for hreo months and a half by a clerk so en gaged I put In n bill of only $70 all told , What did Wheeler doi Ho lejcctcd it flatly and entirely. "In n conversation with Wheelorsomo time ago , and to show him the probabilities , to say nothing of the possibilities of what a board of health might accomplish , I cited to him the fact that at the time of the establishing of the board of health at Nash ville , Tcnn. , the death rate thcro was seventy seven to every l.OVO of population. Thirteen nouths after the board of health was estab- isliedand was given funds to do work with , the death rate was but thirty-live per thous and. What do you suppose that Wheeler re plied. His reply was : " 'It would have beeu a good thing if they had all died. ' " 1 thoii asked him if ho intended to apply such comment to Omaha and ho replied : " 'Well , perhaps not exactly. ' "I have Just ono more thing to add , namely , : liat the people of Omaha are continuing to bo served with diseased milk , with horribly impure water and they continue ) to breathe deadly poisonous vuu ra from thousands of ' tilth-covered spots In'Omahn , and from cess pools. Marie me , I know just what I nm talking about. I have not p.iintod the pic ture one whit too black.

A FIVE-ACRE ttffl IN ASHES. The Largest Feeding tfouso la tla World Destroyed at Qllmoro. MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. A Description of the Structure JIow the Employes Fought tuSavo It The Insurance IJOSH llcacti- ca Nearly1 $180,000. The Union Cattle company's feeding plant at Ulltnoro , four miles below South Omaha , wiscntlrely consumed by flro at 11 o'clock Thursday night , entailing a loss of $180,000. , This feeding plant was tbo largest in the world. The main bam wn ? an Immcso affair. It contained -1,000 stalls and covered over llvo ncres of ground. It was built of wood with a foundation of brick. The interior was of oak , except the lloors , which were of matched plno laid water tight. lu the roof them were 0 5 ventilators 0 feet by 1) ) , containing over two carloads of glass. This building- contained 2,500,000 feet of lumber. In addition to this Immcnso structure , there were two very largo elevators , a mill , an engine house , a boiler house nnd pump works vlth n capacity Of tliroe million gallons a day. n superintendent's house and employes cottages. The lira was first seen by tlio night watch men about H o'clock , being discovered , creeping up the side of the foundation on the outside , near the engine house. The inea gave tlio alarm and all the employes of the plant turned out and began fighting Iho llro ns best they could with wati-rpaiis. The engine pump had been so injured by the tlmo the men reached It. that thcro was' no oppor tunity to utilize the U.OOO . feet of hose with which the yards were cini Ipped. The men could not keep the flro hack , and the immense ) wooden barn , the elevators and engine and pump houses burned so rapidly that they were entirely consumed \vithiu two hours after the lire was discovered. Superintendent Walker and two assistants narrowly escaped doath. They were lighting ; , the tire on the roof when the walls gave wnv nnd let them down into the flames. They happened to bo so near the cdgo that they could jump out with abound nnd in that way escape with n few blisters. The origin of the flre is not known" , but there Is a theory as to how It started. Dur ing the day inenhad been employed repairing the roof and were burning tar for that pur poso. This flro they extinguished or thought they had , nbout4UOinthoaftcriiooiibutlt : is now supposed that a few embers smouldered nnd later the coaH were fanned Into ilatiio and so the feeding bam \vas ignited. Tlio buildings saved wore tbo superintend ent's house , the boarding house , the eiu- ploves cottages and the horse barn. Fortunately the barn was empty , the ship ping season not having opened yet , but n sulllclcnt number of cattle was expected next Monday to flll the barn. Tbo loss , therefore , was conllticd to the buildings. The Insurance amounts in nil to about Jit- HOO. It is controlled by II. A.
