HOW NO , 7'S ' MEN MET DEATH
OoroncrB Inquiry Into the Fatality at the
Bhiverick Block Tiro.
CAPTAIN COX ACTED WITHOUT ORDERS
Tritlmnnr Kxoncrntlng the Department
Omclnls from Itliuno for the Death , of
Their Meu-Clnlm tlmt the Tire Wni
Mot Cnuicil by Lightning.
The Inquest on the bodies of Captain Cox
nnd Plpcmnn durny of how company No. 7 ,
who wcro killed by the falllntr wall * of the
Shlvcrlck building Saturday night , was held
in the police court room yesterday after-
noon. No verdict xvns returned , ns the Jury
determined to wait a week or two and see If
Eomo of the Injured men would not recover
In time to add their testimony to that which
was available yesterday.
The first witness called was M. J , do Neon.
driver of No. 7. IHs company responded to
the general alarm nnd ho assisted In laying n
line of hose from the hydrant In front of the
Omaha National bank building through the
nlloy to the rear of the Shlverick building.
Ho then went out nnd laid a second line of
hose and coupled it on the water tower on
Farnam street after which ho returned to
the nlloy. On his return ho assisted the No.
5's In running their hose up on the rear of
the Maurer building and was standingontho
roof about flvo feet from the roar when the
west wall of the Shtvcrlck building fell.
Cox , Ouray nnd Morris of his company , to
gether with two other men who did not
belong to the department , wore further
along on the roof and were caught by the
wall. Gray and Morroll of the 5's wcro on
the roof with him but jumped. Ho stayed
Where he was nnd opened up No. 5's hose
nnd turned n stream on the dobrls In order
that if any of the Imprisoned men wcro still
nllvo they might not bo burned to death.
Cox Selected 111 * 1'osltlon.
In reply to a question the witness stated
that It was customary for the captains to
select their own positions when they arrived
nt a flro without waiting for orders from the
chief. Ho had apprehended no danger when
ho wont on the roof ns the wnll seemed per
fectly solid. Ho considered the roof of the
Mnurcr building as the place where Cox
would naturally have gone , ns it offered the
best point of vantage from which to throw a
stream upon the roof of the Shiverick build-
Ing. The center only of the west wall fell
at the time the men wcro killed. A huge
emoko stack which stood nt the northwest
corner of the building held the wall up at
that point nnd saved the lives of the men
who wcro on the rear.
Acted In Opposition to Orilors.
John J. Ormsby. driver of hook and ladder
No. 2 , arrived In the nlloy just before Captain
Cox went on the roof. Ho swore positively
that ho heard Assistant Chief Uarncs tell
Cox not to go on the roof , but to remain in
the nlloy nnd play upon the roar shutters of
the Shiverick building. This occurred ten
or fifteen minutes after the alarm was sent
in. At that time ho could see no reason why
the wall was likely to fall.
Assistant Chief Barnes corroborated the
statement of tlio previous witness. Ho said
that Cox asked him if ho should not take n
line of hose on the roof of the Maurer
building , but ho told him to stay where ho
was and warned him to keep tq the north
Bldo of the alloy so that his men could get
out of the wav in case the wall fell in. Ho
had done this ] ' not because ho thought there
was any danger , as the walls seemed per
fectly sound , but because ho could not see
how It would do any good to got on the roof.
At this time the lloors had not collapsed ,
but the waiUand floors came down together
n few minutes later.
Chief GillllKan'o I'vldonco.
Chief Galligan was the next witness called.
Ho said that ho was in front of the Paxton
hotel when ho saw the fire nnd was on tno
spot before any of the apparatus arrived.
Assistant Chief Salter had churgo on the
Farnnm street side and Barnes directed the
movements of the firemen in the alloy. The
witness was on Twelftn street , half way be
tween Farnam street and the alley , when the
wall fell. Ho went on to the alley and was
told that some of the 7's had been hurt.
This was the flr&t time thnt ho was aware
that any onohadgono on the Maurer building
at nil.
Ho did not see Cox at all during the flro ,
nnd as far as ho know , no orders had heen
piven for men to go on the roof. Ho consid
ered it foolish to go there , ns there was no
peed to bo accomplished. The only reason
that ho could see for Cox to go there was
that ho might have thought that by getting
on the roof his stream could roach the roof
of the Shlvorlck building through which the
llamcs were then bursting.
Buys the IlulUlliig Wai Unsafe.
The chief stated that the floor Joists on
the west side of the Shlvorick building wore
scarcely charred when the walls fell. The
west wall was sixteen inches thick as far ae
the second story , and from there to the toji
was only twelve inches thick. It should
have boon four Ipches thicicor on the first
nnd second stories. It was his opinion tlmt t
If the wniniad been properly constructed it
would not hnvo fallen nt all and would hftvc
stood for two hours at least after the lire 3a
broke out. As It was it was not over twenty'
llvo minutes nf tor the alarm was turned In
when the wall went down.
Flro AV'na Nut from UglitnlnET *
I. E. Loomis , driver of hose company No. 5
was called und said that ho was ordered tc
f o on the roof of the Mnurcr building bj
Chief Saltcr. His company had Just sue
ccoded In getting its hose to the roof whei
the wall came down. Up to the timo. of the
catastrophe the wall appeared safe , and hi
bad no idea of danger.
The remainder of Loomls' testimony com
bated the theory that the flro originatci
from lightning. His company had como u
the llrst alarm nnd was stationed in tin
blloy , His men turned their uticam Into tin
elevator shaft through the rear door of tlu
Shlvcrlck building. Ho testified posl
lively that the basement was nllri
nt tlmt time , which would have been extra
ordinary had the blnzo originated in the second
end story ns was claimed. At the time hi
company loft the door to go on the roof o
the Mauror building the lloorot the scconi
story was intact nnd ho was certain that tin
floors had not fallen In before the west wal
went down.
Onlcor C. C. Ilouser testified that Captnii
Cox called on him to help him gut his lies
en the roof. Ho aid so nnd wont bark u ]
the nlloy a few minutes before the wull 'fell
Ho was positive that no ono had ordered Co :
to go on the roof tn his presence.
At this point the inquest adjourned indcfl

IN THE FEDERAL COURT.
Private Hnxtcr on Trlnl for Kllllug n Comrade -

The taking of evidence was completed at
11 o'clock yesterday in the case of Bunvoll
Baxter , the soldier on trial in the federal
court for manslaughter , and the attorneys
wore each given an hour and a half in which
to prcsent-tho two sides of the case.
The prosecuting attorney had the identical
knife with which the accused stabbed Eli P.
West , a follow soldier , anil in the presence of
the Jury he opened the knife and proceeded
with the argument , showing the jurors that
the blood of the deceased which was found
on the blade of the weapon when Baxter
was arrested had become a rust spot. The
weapon is a common pocket knife which
Baxter purchased , ho says , to cut kindling
wood with. When West attacked him ho
was carrying a basket of clothes across ttio
pnrado grounds. He told AVest to keep away ,
but the aggressor kept on pounding him on
the back so ho took his knife from his
pocket , opened U and struck the fatal blow.
Work of the Grand jury.
"There is a whole lot of stuff brought bo-
forc United States grand juries , " said ono
of the members of the recently impannelcd
federal grand juries to a BEE reporter
"that never ought to bo permitted to take
up the time of busy men or to pile up
costs which the government is obliged to
bear. At the session last week , for in
stance , there wcro several matters that took
a deal of time , and when they were all
sifted down they amounted to nothing but
miserable family quarrels in which some
people had acted in a very hateful manner
but there was no crime of any serious nature
connected with the affairs. It seems to tno
that the district attorney or the commis
sioner or somebody ought to have the au
thority to squelch such t-ivial things with
out bringing them before the grand jury. "

NEW GAS ORDINANCE.
Inspector Gilbert Hnys tlie Company Can
Not Aliiku ItH Claims Uooil.
The efforts of the Nebraska Fuel Gas com
pany to secure a franchise in this city has
precipitated a lively row in the council and
among city ofllcials generally. Councilman
Saunders is fathering the ordinance grant
ing the franchise. lie believes that if the
company is given the right to construct and
operate a plant the fuel question will bo
solved In Omaha. Ho pictures a great re
duction in the prices of fuel , and is fully con
vinced that the company is responslolo and
will inaugurate the movement.
Before introducing the ordinance ho paid
a visit to Maysville , ICy. , where a plant Is In
operation. The system is known as the
Harris patent , and is the property of the
Consolidated Fuel Gas company. The Ne
braska company is an offspring of the former ,
and its ofllccrs claim to have the option on
the western territory. Mr. Saunders found
a number of plants in oporatiun in the east
ern and southern states , and ho is an en
thusiastic supporter of the proposition to
give the company a franchise here.
The feelings of the Fifth ward councilman
wcro not contagious nnd some of the other
members wcro not imbued with the same.
They were somewhat dubious and lingered
between doubt and certainty. The flattering
expressions of what the company could do
did not have the desired effect , and they held
back. It was then suggested that If the
fuel gas was such a good thing the company
should pay the expenses and permit
( jas Inspector Gilbert to pay a visit to the
Mavsvillo plant and make a test of it. Tlio
proposition met with favor at the hands of
the officers of the company and the trip was
made. Mr. Gilbert arrived there ono week
ago today nnd remained until Wednesday.
Ho made the desired test , returned homo
and prepared his report for the council. It
was to have been submitted at the
special meetinc Saturday aftoroon , but
a quorum was not present and that
made it impossible. The gas Inspector
maintained silence as to what ho discovered.
It was all incorporated in his report , and
was not to bo known until the report was
read to the council. It did not remain silent ,
however , and fell into the hands of some of
the members of the council , and was given
away.
Mr. Gilbert was not at all pleased over the
fact , as ho had denied any information to the
press out of courtesy to the council and
would not say anything until this morning.
"You may say. " said ho , "that I did not find
what was represented to bo the case. The
company is not manufacturing the gas as
cheaply as it claims to bo and it cannot dose
so , unless you call air gas. and I do not bo-
Hove that it will burn. They claim to manu
facture 1,000 cubic feet of gas with ono and a
half gallons of oil nnd fourteen pounds of
coal. The first day I was there 50,000 , cublo
fret were manufactured , and It re
quired 09-50 gallons of oil and
! i3 4'J-r > 0 pounds of coal for each 1,000 feet.
Into this was pumped 119,000 foot of air , ac
cording to my calculations. A root blower
delivers eight feet a revolution and there nro
ninety-four revolutions a minute. From this
I took off 10 per cent from the temperature
nnd reduced the amount In that way.
That was the llrst day's test. Thosecond was
far worse , and those figures I will give to the
council. I do not care to say moro just now ,
but will fully explain everything when re
quested by the council. "
Tlio ordinance granting the franchise will
probably bo up for passage tomorrow night.
If it is not reached a special session will
probably bu held to consider it.

llrothers1 Hlff Show Surpasses
rornicr Kfl'orts In livery Ilespoot.
People with wild , barbaric blood coursing
.lirough their veins are novcr so happy as
vhcn a circus Is in town and a parade Is on
, ho tapis. Judging from the number of people
m the streets yesterday morning the strain
f barbaric olood was predominate In thou-
amis of anatomies for the streets oyor which
tingling Bros. ' big show passed wcro
.hronged with citizens and their country
: ouslns bent upon seeing tlio "elephant nnd
ivlld kangaroo , " with the other features ad
iiflnltuin.
Hingllng Bros , give n mighty fine
parade , and , as a real circus sky added to
ho pleasure of the morning , there was little
hat the most surfeited person could desire.
Omaha has seen lots of circus par.ides , but
in point of excellence , compactness and new
ness Kingling Bros , excel any similar pa
rade made In this city. One feature of the
procession was particularly remark
able , the absence of grotesque
features on the tops of the vans , which
have detracted from the real merits
of parades in the past. Bright now paint
and gold leaf have made the vans look like
things of enduring beauty , while the heavily
; arvcd chariots shine resplendent in a joyous
Juno sun. The absence of cheap and tow-
dry trappings were also romanced , the whole
aggregation of vans , dens , chariots nnd
horses , to say nothing about the riders ,
being in line condition , rellccting a broad
ana hberalopolicy on the Messrs. Hlnpling
which in these days of catch-penny features
is as delightful as it is surprising.
Whether the circus of thcso latter century
days is just as startling and as meritorious
as the circus was in days of boyhood and
girlhood , to those who have touched the
middle periods of life , is a much mooted
question. The old timer talks of Van Am
berg , Itobinson and Dan Itice's "aggrcga
tious" with roseate glow on face as ho re
calls the callow days of his circus-going
career , but none of these , when all is said ,
can in anywise compare to Ilingling
Brothers' show which played to two big
houses yesterday at Twentieth anil Paul
streets.
There Is snap and go about the perform
ance given by these well known showmen ,
and all the acts are worthy of mention , but
where so much is given that is excellent , the
only thing to do is to pass upon the ensemble
"and lot it go at that. " Taken in Its entirety
the performance is much better than that
given by the Kinglings last year , more novel
acts being introduced nnd a greater variety
of "turns" being interjected. Charley
Fish heads the list of bareback
riders , followed closely by the Ucno
sisters. May nnd Blanche , whoso art
Is particularly graceful and attractive , al
though there seems to bo a studied attempt
on the part of modern equestriennes to tear
down all the idols of the long ago , for the
Jtono sisters are riding in silken skirts in
stead of the tarleton costumes of the afore
time. A troop of Arabs under Hassan Ben
All give a fine exhibition of tumbling nnd
pyramid work , while the Vernons startle ono
with their feats on the Hying trapeze. The
races wore spirited and terminate a per
formance of exceptional merit.

There seems to bo something wrong with
the manner in which the canteen at Fort
McKinncy has been conducted and Captain
Crowdor has gone up there to investigate.
Stenographer Lowe accompanied the cap
tain on the trip.
The recent decision of the special commit
tee appointed to make an examination of the
different kinds of rifles manufactured tor
army use in favor of the Krag-Jorgcnsen
gun will cause a general change of small
arms all through the army within the next
few years. The old Sprlnglleld rifles will bo
replaced by the now implement of destruc
tion and the Springlleias will bo
stored for cases of emergency. Speaking of
the matter today an army ofllcer said : "It
will bo possible for the state militia com
panies to- secure the use of some very good
guns , no doubt , within a few years. When
the regulars nro furnished with the Krag-
Jorgcnsen guns they will lay aside the
Springllold rifles they now carry , und these
nro good guns. The stock of old guns may
come in very good play in case wo should
want to call for a good sized army of recruits

knowledge of the mysterious herbs with
wulcu they euro radically many formid
able diseases which baffle the greatest
physicians of the woild.
Those remedies can now bo obtained of
any druggist or wholesale dealer. The
Klckapoo Indian Sngwn IB ono dollar per
bottle. Six for five dollars. The Cough
Cure Is fifty and all the oilier remedies
twenty.flvo cents per bottle. In using thcso
remedies you may bo absolutely coriuln
that they aio puicly vegetable , thnt they
cpntaln no aclilH or mlncinl poison" , because -
cause the Indians know absolutely nothing
