CITY STATION OF NORTHWESTERN -
ERN TOTALLY DESTROYED.
QUANTITY OF FREIGHT BURNS
Blaze Originated In the Chimney.
Fire Brando Flew In the Dense
Smoke One Freight Car Caught
Afire Barn of Herman Splerlng.
[ From Saturday's IJnlly. ]
There were two fires In Norfolk last
nlBht the city station of the Northwestern -
western railway company burned to
tbo ground , and a barn of Herman
Splerlns t South Norfolk was de
stroyed , with a number of chickens In-
side. The Northwestern depot Is n
total loss , only a few bits of furniture
being saved. The freight house at the
south end of the donot burned , with
n largo quantity of freight. The lire
Is thought to have- originated In the
chimney. It was discovered at 11
o'clock.
The flro boys made a speedy re
sponse to the n'irm of lire , the Mast
Hose company , Queen City Hose com
pany , Hook and Ladder company and
the Third Ward company all getting
to tbo blaze In short order. The build
ing , however , was so dry that It
burned rapidly and tbo flro fighters
could only turn their attention the
freight cars at hand.
In the dense smoke there wore in-
nuremablo flro brands that shot high
up Into the air with spectacular bril
liancy. They endangered tbo build
ings of the neighborhood and did set
afire one freight car which was hauled
out of the way by a switch engine.
The loss can not as yet bo estimat
ed , as It Is not yet known what the
value of the freight in the building
was. A. II. Winder Is ono man who
lost considerably In tills way. His
sample cases , Including shoes and
gloves , were destroyed. The wires
were melted away near the station by
the heat.
The other flro was that of a barn
f Herman Spiering at South Norfolk.
It burned at about 7 o'clock last night ,
and was out of reach of hose so that
the firemen could not save It.
What furniture was saved from the
station was taken to the weigh sta
tion of the Ames beet sugar factory
across the tracks.
The two fires of last night make five
within less than a week for Norfolk.
The other three occurred In one night
that In the house on South Thir
teenth-street ; that in the Washington
school house ; and a blaze in the chim
ney of the Pacific hotel which routed
out the guests but did little damage.

Skating has begun in earnest for
the season in Norfolk and every night
sees crowds with their nickle plated
runners , bound for the Northfork and
other popular skating resorts. Several
years ago skating rinks were the pop
ular thing in this city , the large rink
In the corner that is now occupied by
the Bishop block affording fun to hun
dreds of skaters , big and little , every
day. Increased building on the busi
ness part of town has put a stop to
this and the rinks are a tiling of the
past. But the skating goes on. The
Elkhorn , of course , is by far the safer
of the two rivers for skating , though
It is much more distant.
A Fremont rejiort says : "Tho Floro-
dora theatrical company was attached

It is said here today that Woodward &
Burgess of Omaha have just bought
the company and it will bo in shape to
continue Its engagements soon. Man
ager Rlggs went to Omaha to bring
about a settlement of the controversy.
The company was dated to play In Col
umbus Monday night. This engagement
mont has been cancelled. In the mean
time the troupe Is hero , still Intact. It
played to a $500 house at Larson's
theater lost night. "
Nagel In a Fight.
Noligh Register : A terrible fight Is
reported to have taken place at Bruns
wick last Monday morning. It seems
that two hog buyers at that place by
the name of Nagel and Miller had
trouble several times previous , but had
never come to blows before. While
Nagol had his back turned and was
weighing some hogs Miller struck him
in the ear , knocking him down and
kicking him several times on the head ,
rendering him unconscious. Ho did
not regain his senses until Monday
night and Is still in a critical condl
tlon. Miller Is reported to have
skipped out.
Why They Didn't Play.
Noligh Leader : The football boys
did not go to Norfolk yesterday. Dr.
Bartley , their trainer , declared that
so far ho had carried them through
their games without Injury but would
not take the chances of having some
of the boys crippled for life In a game
on the hard , frozen ground. And he
was tight It Is probable that the
grotmd will nott haw out again this
fall and bo In a condition for another
date being secured. Nevertheless the
boys had hoped to win the champion
ship of north Nebraska and are very
much disappointed.

Main Line Trains.

lon , moving from Itn course hut a
Idle over half a mile. It could tliou

Is Done In Sioux City.
In answer to the question that might
arise as to whether or not the main
line trains could bo hacked out of the
station as far an the "Y , " with pro
prlety , It may bo answered that thlH
very thing IH done by the Northwest
ern railroad In Sioux City every day.
The station Is In the center of the
town and there the rallH end The
trains from St. Paul HIM Into thin sla
tlon and then , resuming the journey
to Omaha , hack out for a mile to the
"Y , " whore they turn around and go
.straight.
Now the Opportune Time.
Now , it would seem , Is the oppor
tune ( imp for such an arrangement to
bo made. Ono of the Northwestern
depots lias just burned to the ground ,
and will have to bo rebuilt up town.
The Union Pacific and M. O. depot
ought to ho rebuilt whether It Is
burned or not , for It Is In no way ado
qunte to the needs of the city. And
the sumo may bo said of the Junction
depot of the Northwestern.
It may be suggested that the main
line trains can not make that extra
trip up town , because of loss of time
and extra mileage. There arc but two
trains a day on the main line ono
wast and ono west , which would have
to lose tlmo In this way. They could
run tbo distance up and back In loss
than ton mlnulos. They would save
by that , n trip of a mile and a half by
road and rough roads too for hun-
droda and hundreds of persons every
day. who go to or como from the Junc
tion trains. The public now pays a
quarter every time it makes a train
at the Junction , and as much to come
back from those trains. The public
would rather pay the Northwestern an
extra dime for that mile by rail. In or
der to help make up for the time and
mileage that It cost.
The Junction depot Is too far awuj
from Norfolk. It Is an Inconvenience
to Norfolk people and to other people
who travel through h ° re , to make thai
long trip , summer and winter. In or
dcr to catch a train. Norfolk wnnli
like a union depot , and It would save
money for the public. It would cost
the Northwestern n little more tlmo
but ono depot force could bo done
awny with , so that money would bo
saved there.
Above the depot could bo the head
quartern for the Northwestern officials
This would combine four buildings In
ono and that ono could bo creditable
and would be In a convenient place.
Three now depots are needed li
Norfolk right now anyway the ono
that burned and the two that dldn'
burn ; why shouldn't the Commorcla
club nsk for a union depot In this
place ?
