riTTSBURO , April 22. Almost the entire
ouilness portion of Duquesno Borough , oppo
site McKecsport , on the Monongahcla river ,
jvas destroyed by a flre of supposed Incendiary
origin which broke out at 4 a. m. The loss
will amount to $ J3,000 , the buildings being
all small.
The fire started In Peterson's grocery
store on Railroad street and within thirty
minutes had spread over the entire block.
The borough Is wholly wltliou fire protection
and a bucket brigade was the only resistance
lo the flames. From Railroad slreet the
town runs back over a hill of considerable
steepness. About the time the flames began
to spread a high wind came up and drove the
lire up Ihe hillside , with the result thai
everylhlng In Its path was destroyed.
The following Is a partial list o ( the losses ,
many residences and business properties not
being enumerated , as their owners and occu
pants are BcatUrcd :
Peterson's grocery , the First National bank
building , a new lliree-slory brick struclure ,
the Duquesno pharmacy , the Eagle phar
macy , Iho postoince , McClurc's shoe store
Qcrst'.s grocery. Dr. Keyset's olllee and res | .
dcnce , Howard L. Black's real cslato ofllco
and residence , Phleghert's drv goods slore ,
Wake & Co.'s general slore , Dr. John Black's
office , residence and drug store , L. & I.
Bedell's wholesale liquor store , A. It. Illlt-
man's clothing slorc , Spearang & Bonner's
general store , several barber shops , two
hardware stores and a butter store. The
town Is now panic slrlcken and It Is im
possible at present lo secure an accurate estl
mate of the Individual losses. By reason of
the lack of water and fire apparatus but
lltllo Insurance was carried by properly
owners In the burned district , as Ihe in
surance companies were chary of taking
risks and the premiums wcro set so high as
lo bo aboul prohlblltve.
The Allegheny U-s&cmcr Steel works were
shut down as soon as the extent of the Ore
was apparent nnd Iho workmen were or
ganized Into bucket brigades to fight the
flames. Owing lo Ihe rapid headway of th
fire and Ihe high wind Ihelr efforts were
wholly Ineffectual.

SCHOOLS OBSERVE THE DAY.
Treofl I'liintoil mid Appropriate Idol-clues
Are Hold.
The twenty-fourth anniversary of Arbor
day was conduclcd with the usual cere
monies of Ireo planting and Juvenile feslivlly
In Omaha yeslorday. The elements soeme <
well disposal toward the Nebraska holiday am
the clear skies , bright sunshine , springing
grass nnd freshly budding Irces seemed I
Indlcalo that the Supreme Ruler had taken
tha occasion under his especial palronage.
In all of Iho public schools of Omaha n
porllon of Ihe day was devoted lo tree plant
Ing and its accompaniment of marches , song
and recitations. In Iho opinion of the
teachers Atbor day , as al present observed
is one of Ihe most prolltablo days of Ihe
school year. Something o ( the method o
the kindergarten Is brought Into the prepara
tlon ( or the day , and the simple ceremony o
grading an embryo oak or maple Into th
bosom of the earth Is made the vehicle by
which a vast amount of useful and Interest
Ing Information la conveyed to the children.
It is doubtful whether there Is a child litho
the public schools of the city who did no
go home In the afternoon with more knowlcdgi
of trees , their growth , peculiarities and use
tlan many parents have ever learned. Fo
weeks past each day's work has containe (
some thought that would be developed and in
delibly Impressed on the Infantile mind b >
the exercises of today , and the result follow
that the simple observances that took plac
In every school In the afternoon taught a
wholesome lesson out of the Inexhaustlbl
book of nature.
Thoholo day was not observei
as a holiday , nnd during the fore
noon the regular curriculum had th
right of way. But in the nfternooi
books were laid aside and the children unltei
In the celebration. No great effort wn
made In any Instance to prepare an elaborat
program , but the exorcises were bright am
Interesting , and at nearly all the school
they were witnessed by a large number o
visitors. As a rule the exercises in the varl
ous schools were very similar. From on
to half a dozen trees were planted , some a
class trees and othcru as memorials of grea
statesmen or authors whose life am
works were Identllled with the trees am
made a study by the pupils. Music wa
made a prominent feature. There ar
scores of pretty and simple songs naturall >
connected with tome clement of tree growth
and thcso the children sang , while instru
mental selections were Interspersed by waj
of variety.
English literature Is so liberally endowei
with prose nnd verse appropriate to Arbo
day that there was no lack of pertinent se
lections ( or recitation und declamation. Ii
most of the Dchools
some of these were ar
ranged ( or concertlvo recitation , each clas
or grade uniting In the exercise. Thes
features made an appropriate framework fo
the tree planting ceremony , which was generally
orally donu to a musical accompaniment
while the pupils marched around the trc
istnglng and planting ( lowers around It
roota. Through the courtesy o ( the 7 > arl
board each school was provided with an ever
green , and aa the Board of Education ha
previously made a distribution of elms an
maple * , the aggregate- adornment of th
school grounds of the city was very notice
able.

IN THE JURY BOOM.
that a Juror Looked Upon thr
Wine While on Dutjr.
It Is alleged that B , II. N. Spencer while
ervlng In the capacity of a Juror In the dls-
rlct court became Intoxicated , This Is the
tory as told by several fellow jurors. The
ttentlon of the court has been directed to
he fact and It may result In the granting of
nether trial of the case of the First Na-
lonal bank , of Corning , la. , against the Star
talon Lumber company.
Jn the story of the several Jurors who wcro
iusy watolilng the condition of their fellow
uror , during the progress of this trial the
Irst week In April , there Is some discrepancy ,
tut the attorneys for the Star Union and
Davis Lumber companies , the two defend
ants In the case , have prepared affidavits
ending to show that Spencer was Intoxicated ,
hat he had a flask concealed In his coat-tall
racket , and that ho frequently solaced him
self with good sized draug'nts. ' In the trial
of this case there were two Spencers on the
Hiry , but the Spencer who Is charged with
mblblng real Bourbon , the Jurors say , IB the
nan who sat on the end seat In the Jury
jox , toward the witness stand , In Judge
iCeysor's room. Juror Boss swears he ob
served Spencer place the llask to his mouth
and charges that It contained whisky ; Juror
Harmon alleges that the liquor had the color
of whisky , nnd Juror Harrison swears the
Iquor had the odor of whisky. The affidavits
of these gentlemen are to be presented to the
court for the purpose of securing a new trial.
The case on trial resulted In a verdict for
the bank of $571 on a guaranty which It Is
claimed the Davis company executed when It
assumed the assets of the defunct Star Union
company.

Habeas corpus proceedings have been
jrought by Charles Lewis and Ellis Hyde to
secure their release from the county jail ,
where they are serving out n sentence under
a $100 fine Imposed by Judge Berka.
Lewis and Hyde allege as a ground ( or
their release that on April 11 they wcro
urested In company with two young girls
In the lower part of town and taken to the
lollco station , where they were charged with
Jelng on a plain drunk. To this they pleaded
guilty and were held by the court , they stiyi
while the judge was looking up their case.
In the meantime this action was dismissed
and , without trial , a new complaint of drunk
enness nnd disorderly conduct was preferred
and fentenco Imposed , the record showing
that they pleaded guilty to this also. But
tills they deny , alleging that the limit under
the former charge would have been a line of
$2. . but that now they have a sentence cf
$100 Instead , to which they object.

The Hanson damage suit against the Mis
souri Pacific Railway company , which was
tried In April , 1603 , and then appealed by
the defendant to the supreme court had an
other step taken in its progress toward
ultimate determination. J. J. Johnson has
filed an attorney's lien for ? 1,830 , In view of
the decision he expects In his favor. He
appeared for Mamie Hanson , the child who
was so severely Injured on the tracks of the
company near Ruscr's crossing In June , 1S01.
Mamie Hanson at that tlmo was a child 12
years c ( age. For a long time her attorneys
claimed It had been a custom ( or pedestrians
to use the railroad track ( or a walk. About
5 o'clock In the evening she was walking on
the track when nn engine came up ( rom
behind , nnd throwing her down crushed her
legs. Fifteen thousand dollars was asked as
damages. The Jury gave $11,000.

County Commissioner Sutton has been en

Like other prisoners , Webster ( rom time lo

letters contain a dollar or so. One ho re

contain an expected dollar , and so he confided
hU grief to Sutton. Mr. Sutton called at the
jail and held a conference with Bachman.
tolling him that the disappearance of the
dollar was due to the manipulations of a man
now serving a life sentence under Scott's
orders. A lively tlmo was had nnd con
slderablo jaw action iibcd. The jailer claims
that nothing was in the letter. Mr. Sutlon

LOCAL MINISTERS IN SESSION.
They Discuss the Illbto and the Criticisms
( in It.
The Ministerial association held an inter
esting sesbion yesterday in Kountze
Memorial church , with about thirty ministers
in attendance. "Tho Blblo and Higher
Criticism , " was announced as the loplc ( or
consideration , and It brought out a lively
discussion.
Dr. Gordon gave definitions of higher
criticism and illustrations of its workings.
While this branch of learning had been pro
ductive of good he thought the work was
sadly lacking in agreement as to results.
He illustrated by selecting particular verses
from scripture , regarding which the critics
have found as many as half a dozen different
authors. After the lapse of 2,000 years ho
pointed out the difficulty of arriving at ulti
mate accuracy.
In the discussion which followed Dr. Hell-
Ings stated that as scholars could not agree
the ministers should not bo held responsible
( or hesitating over new doctrines and theo
ries. Ho much doubted if Dr. Harper had
made out a case to substantiate his position.
The scholars of the world were responsible !
for the heresies , ho declared. What the
church wanted was truth , but the higher
critics did not help them much.
Rev. McCormlck stated that In his opinion
the higher critics had got the cart before
the horse. In the case of the New Testament
the higher critics had minutely examined the
text and got It pretty nearly absolutely ac
curate , but they had begun construing and
Intcrpictlng the Old Testament before getting
a perfect text to work upon.
Rev. Lloyd was of the opinion that the
critics had. come to some substantial agree
ments of value which he ( ormulated thus :
First , they had drawn the distinction between
the word of God and the bible ; second , they
had pnmd the dual authorship of Isaiah , and ,
third , they had pointed out the ( act that the
bible was a compilation , rather than a work
by God , acting through the mind of man.

MB. HESPELEB HAS HIS SAY ,
Other blilo of the Into IVhoro Property
V\m tha Istur.
The legatee under the will of the late Mrs.
Eirrfly Hcspeltr , Georgd Hespeler , takes
considerable exception to the attitude In
which ho and Mrs. Bycrs , the-sister of Mrs.
Ilespsler , have been placed by reports pur
porting to give an account of the disappear
ance of the laces , together with a trunk from
the residence of Mrs. Hospeler , at the time
of her death.
At that time the sisters of Mrs. Hespoler
charged Mrs. Byers with stealing a trunk
containing $2.000 worth of rare and costly
laces , which Mrs. Hespeler had accumulated.
A complaint was filed In police court. It
was later dismissed , George Hespoler says ,
because Judge Berka saw that nobody but
Mrs. Bycrs , or he , was entitled to the posses
sion of the property. "Tho facts were Just
this , " he declares , "Mrs. Hespeler was my
step-mother , and left mo everything. I di
rected Mrs. Dyers to get hold of that trunk
at all odds , as I was In Canada at the tlmo
and knew It was the desire of my mother
that the other sisters should not get a scrap.
So she carried out my desire and got the
trunk out of the house the same night Mrs.
Ilespeler died. It Is true that the probate
court has decided that the will is only good
as to personal property and thus cut oft my
right to about $10,000 of real estate which
will accordingly go to the sisters , who were
otherwise cut off by Mrs. Hespcler without
a cent. But more will bo heard of this case
before the matter Is finished. "

These contributors who wish their copy
returned If unavailable must Inclose stamps
for return or ask that It be kept until called
for , otherwise It cannot bo returned , as the
amount of manuscript already recelvoJ Is
enormous.
Ono of the corps of workers came Into the
ofllco the other day In search of information.
Some one had suggested having about two
stlckfuls of something , and she hadn't any
Idea what kind of stick was Intended. The
superior Intelligence of the ofllce force cn-
ablej her to go on her -way rejoicing.
Ono woman , who shall be nameless here ,
says she knows now why newspaper people
always have such an air of superiority , anJ
adds : "Why , I've learned more things I
didn't know in the past two weeks than I
ever did before In a year. " There Is some
curiosity to know what she will say after the
1st of May .
The young man who guides the elevator
on Its Journeying from top to bottom of The
Bco building no longer asks the destitution
of the many women who take passage In
ths cage. Ho simply stops at the fourth
floor and waits for them to go. When asked
the reason for this he bald : "Oh , I know
them easy enough by their air of important
business and the bundles they carry. They
all show where they're going by their
actions. "
The statement that a poem written by a
woman on her 18th birthday would be a
Slay day feature has created some amnscmonr
and for no ono more'than the one who wrote
" 80" and saw It transcribed to .the . other
number. Since that came out the ofllco has
been deluged with verses by people who
thought It passing strange that the poetical
outpourings of an 18-year-old maiden should
be a "feature. " As if any woman of 18 ever
failed to reel off a few millimeters of rhyme !
One department editor has improved upon
the old saying that "Beneath the rule of one
entirely great the pen Is mightier than the
sword"by declaring that "In the hands of
women born with brains the needle's
mightier than the paste brush. " Her copy
has come In admirably arranged , In good
shape for the printer , but where a poor. Ig
norant hulk of a newspaper man would have
used the paste brush she has taken a needle
and thread and has carefully stitched the
fragments to the foundation paper. Yet
some ono has said that women have no in
ventive genius. _

A meeting will bo held In Royal Arcanum
hall , 1314 Douglas street , this evening at
8 o'clock , to form a court of the fraternal
secret society known as the Tribe of Ben
Hur. This society Is founded upon the well
known book written by General Lew Wallace
and was organized by bankers. lawyers and
other leading business men of Crawfordsvllls ,
Ind. , the home of General Wallace.
The organizer of this society has been at
work In Omaha for the past six weeks and
he secured a charter list containing the
names of about seventy-five of the leading
secret society and business men of the city ,
and the new court gives every Indication of
being one of the strongest In the state.
Several courts have been Instituted at various
points In Nebraska and the secret work of
the society Is very highly spoken of by those
who have seen It. In this particular It
differs very materially from the majority of
fraternal Insurance orders , which rely en
tlrely upon the Insurance feature to gain
members. Men and women are alike eligible
to membership In the Trlbo of Ben Hur , and
no distinction Is made In the cost or In any
