ly turned in and the Yuvuieu tut tied
nut, but could tl" uiilhine,' to sae
the building, llie lirenien were
lu-jit busy to keep uthtT builtline-s
from bein cotismmed by tile
11. lines.
J u.-t before the building was dis
covered to be on lire an explosion
was heard in the opera house on
the back part of the stai;e ami al
most in an instant the Haines were
seen issuing Irom the windows.
Policeman June Mack and Henry
Tartsch were standing in front of
Mayer iV lort;an's store when the
explosion occurred and they im
mediately ran out into the street to
see w hat had caused it; when they
reached the street the opera house
was in a blaze. Tartsch ran to the
bell tower to ",ive the alarm and
ranir the bell two or three times
when the rope broke. Then Mack
bewail lirimr his revolver. In the
meantime Tartsch had climbed up
the tower until he could attain reach
the rope.
A man who lives in one of t'has,
l'etersens houses, just back of the
opera house, says he saw a lin'ht in
the opera house about It) o clock; he
also saitl that the timethe explosion
occurred he was up with a sick
baby, and as soon as he heard the
noise he ran to a window and saw
llames comine; out of the south side
of the buildintr. He says he ran up
toward the postouiee and came
back and went up the stairs, but
the doors were locked. Policeman
Mack says that he came down find
went up the east stairs and the
doors were open, and he went upon
the starve; that the scenery and
stnye settings were on fire and
burning rapidly and that the fire
soon enveloped the entire build
inir.
It is evident that the lire Sunday
mornini;- was the result of an in
ceutliary the explosion is attributed
to gasoline and the supposition is
that a live gallon can was taken ;:p
there ami a fuse attached to it and
when the explosion occurred the
a'asoliue was thrown over the sta
which accounts for the rapidity
willi which the (lames spread, The
fireman winked like demons and
done everything in their power tt
save the building but before they
could reach it, the building was be
voud their reach. They were also
handicapped by some liend, who
had cut thirteen section of the hose,
the rope on the bell tower had also
been jut.
When the firemen reached the
scene anil hail their hose attached
they were unable to throw water on
top of the building, with only two
or three streams. This is attribu
ted by a uooil many to the water
company not having the stand pipe
Mill. Alotiu- toward the last after
a lire had been started at the pump
house, they were enabled to throw
water with six streams at a time
1 sir over the buildim;-.
Tile water I'tilllTi.'inv elaitii the I
stand pipe was full and say that the
reason they could not throw waler
was on account of the hose beiiia
cut. Hut let this be as il may, an
investigation will in all probability
be the result.
The lire was one of the worst ever
witnessed in Plattsmottlh, and but
for the hemic work of (he lirenn n
wniilil nave rcsiwieu even more dis
astrously. The Ailheilser liuseli

buildings on the mirth side of the
street were badly burned, and were
only saved from the (lames alter a

To Start Aunin.
II. A. Waterman Son have made
this proposition: They will n'ive
towards huildini;' a new opera
oltselt),iKKl, furnish tin' Inundation
mil whdt material can be used
if the citizens of the city will lur
nish the rest of the money; ami the
prospects are very In'itiht for the
enterprise to pi throm;!!.
Joe Klein will open up as soon as
he can find a store room and get
the iroods here. In the meantime
his office will be at F. S. White's
store.
M. H. Murphy A: Co., will start up
with a larger and better stock than
he has heretofore carried. Mr.
Murphy informed a reporter that
he has already secured a room ami
would open up as soon he could
stock up.
Mr (iutnian, the man vvho vvas to
occupy the west room of the opera
house block as a wholesale ami re
tail litpior store will remain in the
city and open his place as soon as
he can secure a room.
The above named persons have
lots of confidence in Plattsuiouth.
One of the men who vvas burned
out said that he had so much confi
dence in the city that if he hail
if'JD.OtK) he would invest it in Platts-
mouth property. Plattsmnulh
needs no better advertisement than
the above. To have all those men
who were burned out start iinniedi
ately in business again speaks
volumes for the city.
Ready to Return.
The first important break in the
ranks of the skilled laborers of
Homestead is likely to take place
to-day. Saturday night there vvas a
meeting of twenty-live nf the skilled
men, several of them members of
the amalgamated association. Tin
situation was discussed and it was
decided that there vvas no hope ol
winning the strike. A committee
was appointed to wait upon M
Potter, the superintendent, to as
li i 111 on what terms they might
come hack. The committee called
yesterday and was cordially re
ceivi'd by Mr. Poller, who (oldthetu
of the rules the company hai
adopted as to the treatment nf tin
strikers and that he meant to ad
here to them. If they would abi
by these rules he could find places
lor lliem. They expressed Ihem-
selvt s favorably and saitl then
would be another meeting to-day
when they would make their re
port. The committee thought tin
terms would be accepted and that
tip t'.ventv live would go to work.
Poller, in an interview, said.
"I i'.ink tin- break :s coming very
sin 1. My the end of the week we
i will probably have as many 1 1 1 1 1 as
we 1 .111 previde places for."

AMERICAN PEOPLE ACCUSED.
1 11 his speech not i f) i 11 g Cleveland
of his nominal ion, Wilso.i, o West
Virginia, addressed (he following
hilaliitiu' remark to the democratic
candidate:
Four veal's ago in the mid-catver
ofaservieeth.il will deserved the
highe-t humus your countrymen
could bestow, as feel sure that it
will receive the highe.-t encomiums
that history can award, you were
struck down because as a democrat
v 011 could make no terms with those
who wished to plunder the people's
treasury, or those who sought to
perpetuate the passion of civil
strife.
Now, it must be remembered that
it was the whole American people
that Cleveland threw his free trade
message lull in the face ol. It is
true that, utter having dour so, he
tried and his friend! in every way
tried, to make terms w ith the offen
ded American people, but they de
clined to be Ci'licilliatetl. Ami now
tlii--mart Mr. Wilson has the im
pel 1 i iience to say to the nation that
its refusal lo be 0 mi 1 1 1 iated was
due to a purpose to "plunder the
people'.- treasury" and "pel pet Hate
the pas-ions of civil strife."
