Before the flro department had fairly finished Its work at the blue barn yester day morning It had to respond to an alarm that came In at 3 o'clock from the corner of First avenue and Twenty-sixth street. The lumber sheds of MacConnell & Green were on fire , and the extreme dryness of the ma terial of which they were made caused them to burn with terrific rapidity. When the firemen arrived nothing but the skeleton re mained , nnd they were unable to da any good. For about two years the sheds had been empty and the owners had neglected to make any arrangements for preserving their Insurance policies by means of a vacancy per mit. They carried policies to the amount of $2,500 , but these are Invalidated by the neg- rect , which makes the loss total. The sheds were the finest In the city , nnd their value Is estimated at not less than $4,000. The cause of the fire Is not known posi tively , but It Is thought to have originated , cither by accident or purposely , from a gang of horse traders which has been In camp In the vicinity for some time past. About halt an hour before the first alarm was turned In a burglar made an unsuccessful attempt to break Into Mr. MacConuell's house on Third avenue near the ccrner of Ninth street. Mr. MacConnell was away and his wife and the two servants were the only occupants of the house. The lady was awakened by a sound of whistling near the house and a few minutes later she heard some ono creeping stealthily up sta rs. At the head of the stairs the fellow stopped and lit a match , nnd n second later entered Mrs. MacCcnnell's room on hands and knees. She uttered a cry for help which sent the burglar out of the room on n mad chase for the open air. He had taken the precaution to light the gas down stairs and departed by the same window by which he had entered. He had unlocked the window from the out side by means of a knife blade slipped up between the sashes. As he left the house he ran past Mahlon Brown and E. D. Patton , who were sitting on a fence on their way home from the first fire. They didn't get a very good description of him , however. The people of that part of Council Bluffs have been very nervous for several days past over the midnight prowlers who have ap parently been locking fer a place to get In their work. At an early hour Friday morning some one attempted to break Into the residence of E. A. Troutman , In the same neighborhood , but was frightened away just as he had opened the blinds of one of the windows. UKLKCJATES. Tlmy Go Through th < > Motion * of I'rcimtrliif ; for thu Cniupnlin. The populists of Pottawattainle county met yesterday forenoon at Liberty hall for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state nnd Judicial conventions. ' L. Klnnehan called the meeting to order , and A. M. Hutchlnson of Council Bluffs and G. N. Hemlngton of Ncola were chosen chairman and secretay. Committees on credentials , permanent organization and resolutions were appointed , nnd the convention then ad journed until 2 o'clock. At the afternoon session the report of the committee on resolutions came up for con sideration. The resolutions presented were on the pattern of those usually adopted at such gatherings. They denounced the re publicans as monopolists , which they claimed was shown by the fact of the republicans selecting a corporation attorney as chairman of the state convention. They denounced Congressman Hager , denounced the use of troops In the recent labor troubles , and de nounced pretty much of everything else. They carefully abstained , however , from de nouncing anything of a democratic nature. A great deal of wind was wasted when the question of selecting delegates to the two conventions was brought up , but the thing was finally gotten out of the way , and the following are the delegates who will represent Pottawattamle county : State convention C. D. Dillon of Neola , Eugene Stuffel of Hardln , William Speers of Mlnden. M. B. Lynch of Norwalk , n. V. Churchill of York , Ed Ward of Keg Creek , L. Klnnehan , Rev. George Muller , A. M.

AViun't Looking for \\Yilillng. . W. H. Toy of Omaha arrived In the city yesterday morning for the purpose of lookIng - Ing up some of the particulars of the mar riage of his daughter lo P. M. Stokesbury , the Wabash railway employe , which was an nounced In The Bee yesterday. Ho pointed to n copy of the marriage record , which gave that young lady's age ns 18 , and stated that It was all a mistake , that she was only 15 , In spite of her assertions to the clerk at the court house. Mr. Toy says that his daughter has an Intimate friend In Mrs. Atherton of Red Oak , and that while visiting there she -Stokesbury , who Is Mrs. Atherton's brother. She never gave her relatives any reason for supopslng that anything more than a mere acquaintanceship existed be tween them , and when the marriage was an nounced It came like ft thunderclap. The young left home Friday , saying she intended to visit friends on Walnut Hill nnd would return at 4 o'clock. She did not return , and her father spent all the evening until mprn- Ing trying to find her. When The Bee came out yesterday morning he read In It nn ac count of the wedding and was at first natur ally rather Indignant at the deception that had been practiced upon him , but he finally cooled down and decided to make the best of It.

To The Editor of The Bee : Complaint comes through an Omaha paper that the examina tions of Superintendent Burton are too severe. This complaint Is encouraging and Is a compliment to Mr. Burton , as It Is evidence that he has Inaugurated a reform In examinations and In granting certificates. As ho is not accused of using tricks or "catches , " It ! s safe to presume that none will complain except those who fall to re ceive certificates , or who receive certificates of a lower grade than expected. The super intendent has simply carr ed out hlspurpose , announced pome time before the institute convened , of raising the standard necessary to obtain a certificate , and those who have failed have only themselves to blame. It Is conceded by nearly all who attended the institute net closed that It was the most productive of practical knowledge to teachers of any held for several years , In this correction I will express the hope , probably felt by nearly all , that the High school of Council Bluffs may attain such excellence that It cannot be said , as recently Intimated by a member of the board and the city superintendent , that competent teachers for certain grades cannot be found among Its graduates.

Fatal Accident on fho'Bailroad ' Tracks Near CHILD KILLED pn > FATHER INJURED MlMotirl 1'iiclflc iixprrnn from the Bouth Dhl the Work-t. h r Itally Mou. tiny Mffht-Othcr Mu.lo City Nu\vi ( . A fatal accident occurred at the railroad croslng In Albright at 7:15 : o'clock yesterday , the victim being Mary Wagner , a child only 10 years of age. Frederick W. Wagner , father of the child , waj also 'painfully bruised and given a severe hock. Mr. Wagner and his daughter were In n light wagon nnd were on their way to South Omaha. Mr. Wagner did not see the approaching preaching train until It was almost upon him. Ho whipped up the horse , hoping to get across , but the engine struck the rear end of the wagon and riddled It. The father and daughter were hurled from their seats and sent Into the air. The child never re gained consciousness. She wns carried Into n neighboring building nnd nttended by Dr. Berry nnd Dr. Slnbaugh , but In forty-five minutes death came and the girl did not rally sufllclcn'ly to realize what had happened. Mr , Wagner was more fortunate and although he Is bruised nnd Injured painfully his wounds nre not considered serious. His scalp wns gashed and one hip was con siderably brulfed. As soon as attended to by the physicians he was taken to his home at Thirty-fourth and X streets. The remains of thd daughter were taken to Brewer & Sloan's Undertaking rooms and the coroner sent for. He arrived at 11 o'clock , but will not hold the Inquest until Monday at 2 o'clock , on account of not being able to get witnesses. The people who reside In Albright nre In dignant at the railroad company for not keeping a flagman at this crossing. They say It Is impossible for a person driving east to see nn approaching train , as was the case with Mr. Wagner. Howland & Brad ford , lumber dealers , have built their shed closs up to the roadway and one driving along could not see nn approaching train for these sheds. The citizens of Albright claim that they have repeatedly asked for n flagman to be placed at this crossing , but the railroad companhs pay no utte.itlon to their pleadings. It Is quite likely that In the future a man will be stationed at this point by the different railroad cimpinlcs which pass through. The fright and shock had much to do with the death of the child , nlthoiigi It is likely she was hurt Internally. There nre no bruises or fractures visible , but she suf fered Intensely while life lasted. Once or twice she attempted to speak , but her mutterings - terings could not be understood. Mr. Wagner is employed at Swift's packIng - Ing house and has lived In South Omaha fcr n number of years. The train was the ca'rly morning Ylrtourt Pacific passenger , whch | arrivss abut 7 o'clock. Mr. Meyers was the conductor nnd C. Miller the engineer. Those who saw the accident claim that' ' the engineer old not blow his whistle or Mng the hell until the train was upon the Victims. The train men , however , deny this and sny the whistle was blown and thdt Mr , , Wagner did not ap pear to be looking for passing trnlnb In any direction. It Is claimed , however , by people ple who live In Albright and tee the trains every day that the trains dash tver this crossing at the same rate of ipeed they do when ten miles In tlje pountry.

"Well , how's crops ? " queried Stokos. "My corn's boaa"clqusly rulnt , " replied Crowder , dolefully ? " "I tried that 'ere scheme o' your'n "atld1 It's a humbug. I sealed the corn and scattered It ono day , and the next mornln'il went down to the new gronn' to see how It worked. " "Found 'cm drunkiliih ? " "Found nothln' .
