Thirteen per sons lost their lives and ten were in jured , some fatally , by fire In a tene ment house at One Hundred and Second end street and Second avenue earlj today. All the dead are Italians , seven be ing children. The bodies were found huddled together in an upper room where they had been driven by the flames. It Is evident a part of the vie tlms were overcome by smoke before the flames reached the room , as none of the bodies was badly burned. The fire was plainly Incendiary and it is believed resulted from an attempt of some person to seek revenge. The monetary loss Is nominal. Gulsseppe Cudano , saloon keeper on the ground floor of the building , dls covered the fire. As he opened the door to his place of business this morn Ing flames burst Into his face.

Other occupants of the tenemen rushed to the top floor to reach th fire escapes. All were caught by th flames or suffocated before assistanc could reach them. A horrible sight met the eyes of fire men when they reached the uppe floor where thirteen bodies were pilot in heaps on the floor. Ten occupant of the building escaped from the second end story by the fire escapes wltl more or less severe injuries. BELL FOR ST. PAUL CHURCH. New Bell Weighing 2104 Pounds Goes In New Church.

DISTRICT COURT IN SESSION More Cases on the Docket Than There Have Been for Years Motions and Equity Cases This Week , Jury Called Next Week. Madison , Neb. , Nov. 25. From a taff correspondent : With the dl rlct court convening in Madison Man- lay afternoon and with the Jury as- cmbllng a week later to try a number of important cases , Madison during he next two or throe weeks is going o be a center of news Interest , cspe- clally as long as the Bocho murdei rial Is thought to hold the possibility of any new developments. Judge Welsh comes to Madison on ho noon passenger , court convening early this afternoon. Today Is largelj given over to reading the long courl docket and to opening the now fall term of court. Cases will probably be assigned foi trial on Tuesday. There are more cases on the court docket this fal .han there has been for years. Motions arc entertained by tlu court this week and some equity cases especially along divorce lines , may b ( acted on by the court before the jurj is cnlled. Attorney E. P. Weatherby of Nor folk has filed a suit in the distric court In his own behalf , seeking t < revive a dormant judgment for $2 , 937.38 which he secured against tin Alcona Hot Springs company In 1894 A reply to this suit has been filed b ; Attorney M. D. Tyler for Judge J. B Barnes , once president of the com pany , who objects to the jurisdlctioi of the court In the case because al property of the company has been soli under decree of the federal court ii 1895 and because the company is nov non-exlstant. Mr. Weatherby's actioi Is closely related to the suit which lv filed some time ago against flfty-thre < defendants to this late company From the number of defendants to this latter action the case Is sometimes facetiously known as the case ol "Weatherby vs. the world. " Herman Boche Is to appear In the district court in another capacity than as the alleged slayer of Frank Jarmer. As the administrator of the estate of the late William Boche he has filed a petition in the district court to sell the east half of lot seven , block two , Pasewalk's Third addition to Norfolk. Claiming that the prior representa tions made in a real estate were such as to render the sale properly void , John F. Koepplo , jr. , has filed a suit in the district court against F. G. Coryell , C. P. Christiansen and John Studts to annul a contract for pur chasing the land In question and to recover $1,500. It Is practically certain that this term of the district court will take no action on the "hospital assault cases , ' three of which are awaiting trial. For rest Ellis , the attendant fined $75 on a conviction of simple assault and battery , has taken the case before the supreme court , alleging that the grand jury which returned the Indict ments was not properly drawn. As the validity of the other cases hang on this decision they will be held up pending action by the supreme court. Tuesday nine citizens of the county appear before the district court to complete the naturalization process. Those who seek to become full-fledged American citizens are : Daniel Long of near Madison , a native of Germany ; Oscar Gustafson of Newman Grove , a native of Sweden ; Cornelius Olson of Newman Grove , a native of Nor way ; F. W. Mewes of near Emerlck , a native of Germany ; Julius Hansen of near Emerlck , a native of Norway ; Glaus Wallln of near Emerick , a na tive of Sweden ; Philip Schmor of Nor folk , a native of Russia ; Anton Kampo of three miles west of Tllden , a na tive of Austria ; August C. Borgmeyer of Tilden , a native of Prussia. Mr. Olson Is postmaster at Newman Grove. There are just now nineteen mis- mated couples in Madison county if all of the divorce petitions before the district court have been filed for just cause. In fifteen Instances it is the wife who seeks the divorce while in four cases it is the husband who seeks to sever the bonds of wedded life. Claiming that his wife lived with him a year and five days and deserted , John H. Dauo has asked the district court to give him a divorce from his wife , Mrs. Eva Dano. Among the recent cases filed in the district court at Madison Is a suit by Mrs. Mary A. Smith to partition a quarter of a section belonging to the estate of the late Michael Smith ; and a suit by Maria Rlef to quite the title to the east twenty-two feet of lots ono and two , block twenty-seven , Barnes' Third addition to Madison.

THE HORSE ORDERED KILLED Has Track of Other Horses Which It Is Believed Are Diseased Warns Farmers Against Purchasing Horses From South Dakota. Dr. J. C. Myers Is homo from Holt , Boyd and Keya Paha counties , where ho has been on a veterinary Inspec tion trip In behalf of the state. He found a clearly marked case of glan ders in Keya Paha county , and was obliged to kill the horse affected. He is also on track of a bunch of four others that are supposed to be dis eased. He gained the impression while In that country that glanderecl horses arc being brought into NebraS' lea from South Dakota by professional traders , and warned farmers against trading 'for stock that they do not know. Particularly ho would be on guard against horses that come from South Dakota , because he believes thai diseased animals arc being stolen from quarantine on the other side of the line and disposed of in Nebraska. It seems the law of South Dakota Is different from the law of Nebraska as regards animals affected with glan ders. In South Dakota the state vet erinarian orders that affected animals bo quarantined while in this state they are ordered shot. It Is very easy for a quarantined animal to be stolen from the premises of Its owner , either wither or without the owner's consent , and rushed away to some other communi ty and sold. Dr. Myers says It Is one of the hard est duties of his office to order the killing of an animal for a farmer , par ticularly on the frontier where farm ers are just getting started. But the law says an affected animal must be killed , and It is right that it should be done , as the presence of one glandered horse on a farm will often innoculate all the animals In the neighborhood , and cause hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars' worth of damage. Besides , and more serious than all , the presence of glanders on a place Is likely to innoculato the whole fam ily with a disease that is absolutely incurable. After a place has become contam inated with glanders it is very diffi cult to eradicate it so that danger will not lurk there for years. It is neces sary to thoroughly disinfect and white wash the woodwork about a barn and destroy the mangers and feed boxes It is much better , argues the doctor to keep the disease away at the starl than it is ot get rid of it afterward , and the best way to do this Is to use ut most precautions in buying a horse and never deal with a professlona trader nor purchase an animal for a low price that conies from South Da kota.
