The Smelting Works Wa ter Bound and En twined by Flames. Another Chapter in the Succes sion of Catastrophes. Total Destruction Averted by Superhuman Efforts. Fierce FJamos and BraVo Fire- inen. There aoems to bo a curious fatality attending the workv of the Omaha Smelting and llelh'ing company. Such a succession of misfortune would , a few centuries asjo , have giv en riaa.to a belief that the tput was accursed. To begin with the grim visaga of death hovers over the spot , no man beii-g able to work within its w& la for any great length without being poisoned by the deadly atmos- pheto. But a few months ago fire attacked it , again the shadow of war cast Its threatening presence over it , a week since mid the waters robe against H , Mid yesterday the Ilnnnjs renewed their attack , and were only prevented from devouring the entire institution by the almoat superhuman of our gtHant firemen. It was nearly 5 o'clock laat evening whunun i-.kirm was rounded frm box , : tnd it being ubout the hour -.then everyone wiia kiiuckhig o'Ffrom ' work. a Kr c crowd soon asseuibloJ on Iho hill ovcrloking the river bottom , from which the smelth'g ' works were to bo burning. With the lirat stroke of the bell the department vas out and dashing down the river bink J5y the time the engines were on the spot the storehouse , retort room and hide futuace shop wire all burning , : > ud a strong breeze from the eouthwtst threatened with destruction the entire establishment. The cats on the aid- it g had already bcrn rom-ivec1 , and U. 1' . 'dcomotivo No. 53 wasstation-d ; it thu west side of the buildings tiirowiogu lively stream on thu fluniui. It waa with the utmobt difficulty that die atoaii.era and hooks could get to tht-ir siilions ; , the yard being eur- rounded by the high water , and the only path by which to gain access being the side-track runnini ; in at the south g-ite. Ovar thia the horses drew the hi avy engines , and the hook and Lvlder track and BOOH No ? . 2 and 3 had their suctions down and were al work , while iho "Pioneers" with their ladder ] soiled the roof and devoted their energies to preventing its falling a prey to the devouring element. The Duranta were also evrly on the spot and took their station on the north eido HO that the buildings wore guard ed on over } ' aide. At this time the ti'-l destruction of the Works seemed inevitable , nllj the superintendent , Mr. Hilbach , saj , iH would not have jivn > five cents for itschu.M > Hun dreds thronged nlong the traiXo , covered th < > roofs of c.irs or gathered > n dense clusters on the lull to watch t'.e progress i-f the threatened cala mity. Among the latter were scores of c images so that it resembled some contest in the arena and the blulli a vast iimpilhe-itre filled with eager spectators. The. flames 1 urnei in the great intensity and nearly scorched the cothes i if thoee whote cur-osity led hi-m iutocloto proximity 11 thembul when at their height No. 1 arrived , her gallant bi-ya lutn with fo.un and u LTi.i u i-ociin , iin-miiottvo and tank car arrived and took up its poaitiou and from that moment it became evi dent ihat it waa an unequal contest with the firemen in the ; iaccnd < tncy. Stre.unh of water were poured on from every quarter , the source beinj ; the cwollon flood of the Missouri itself , ita capacity Biillicent to drown the fires at the auu. Above the glowing fires arched a dozen brilliant and beautiful rainbows and their Mollification waa never truer. Slowly the crimson tongues of Ore ceased to lp up the pr perty upon which they fed , smoke and uteam drowned out the beda of fierce tliunus which were visible through tiio chinks in the wooden structures and finally blackened embers and doaolale 1-ioking clock rising naked above the ruins told that the work waa accomplished aud the institution Whfn there w.xs time to inquire a * to the origin of the catastrophe it was learned that the fire waa first discovered in H small building back of thu office , uaed as a storehouse. In one portion of thia was stored a quan tity -f liuiK , aud beneath it the water Imd worked its way. It i.i believed that in Home way thu water came in contact with the lime and slacked it , and from it the building was fired. In the same building weiu quantities of blue vitrol , coke and charcoal , all partitioned .iff from each other. Mr Uoyt , the assi yor , aud the gato-kee- | er discovered the tireabuut the same time , and the latter rang the alarm bell and g.ivo the cry of lira. At that time the ro.oii waa full of smoke , but it bn.ko Into flame with stattliug rap idity , and in the space of sixty seconds ends had enveloped the whole build ing In fin1. From ilna it spread to the retort r. om , then to the aide furnnce room and plstf-Tm and sheds. Theaa three buildii ga were totally destroyed as wore silao the platforms upjn which c.ke , bullion , ( -to. , are unloaded from the cars. The cupall shop was saved by the hardest exertions , and to the devoted work of the firemen and oth ers can alone bj attributed the saving of a single wall of all the cluster of buildings. The materhl destroyed wai inconsiderable , and the buildings were old , being the first put up of the entire lot. The huge stacks and fur naces were ieft standing unharmed , and the managers estimate the loss at not exceeding ? GOGO , and perhaps within $5,000. All this is amply se cured by the insurance held in nine companies , represented by Messrs. Murphy t Lovett. None of the men will be thrown out of work , as there will bi sufficient occupation In clear ing up the debris and making repairs. New buildings will scon replace the old ones , and except for the Immedi ate pecuniary loss to the managers , the damage will scarcely be felt. Our reporter was requested by the managers to say that they appreciated the fact that but for the noble work of the firemen they must have sustained the loss of the works entire. At the closing meeting of the iherrill Club for the season , Tuesday ovining , the members presented Mr. and Mrs Sherrill with a fine steel en- ivii'g entitled Magnanimity of Sclpio the African. W C. B Allen made the presentation in behalf of the club in a nea' speech to which Mr. sherrill responded for both. The pro- entation wai a complete surprise.

The remains of Louis Zorga , the murdered Italian , were yesterday forwarded to Chicago for blirial. Mr. John Martin , Iho fri"iid with whom he linci loft his inoiiuy , and to win ( go child be was godfather , arrived in the city Friday morning for the purpose of inking thu body back with him. Uo at once iiiithum.'d Maralial NVesk-nlahl to odor an additional ie- ward of § 200 fur thoci > i > iuro : uil de livery of ( .lozolo , thus making the sum sot upon his he ; ul j'IGO , and impiilug the ollicurs to do their utmost to catch the man and the bag of wealth at the same time. Mr. Martin Bays the deal man had a boat of friends in Ohicago , by whom the news of his death was received with surprise and deep mourning. The diapitch reiched there in the ni ht after all had < j'jno to bed , and all got up Land a number of friends came in and there was no further at tempt to sleep that niglit. A farmer who livts south west of the city , cuno : iji town yesterday and going to Jiulgu liawc * , informed him that on the mvcnin f the murder , aa lie was driving humj fiom the city , a man came out of iho brush near Har ris itFlshtu'ij p.'cking house , and asked him for a ride. He allowed the man to got into his vi agon , and he rode ns f r as Gr.ftin's placp , wh ; re the man jumped out and left him. Ho was an Italian , and didn't h.xvo much to say. Ho told the faiuujr , Vihou ho liratgot into the w.igon , that he WES going about four miles to work on' a farm. Othur information was received which led M-iralial WestcrJ'ahl ' to believe that the man was j'jinouhfro in ! he neigh- borhool of Papillion , and accurdii gly ho left fur that place farly yester day. Now that ( hero is money to work for there will bo no lack of zeal and energy , nud if the criminal has not escaped already ho stands a slim chance of eluding the hot pursuit that it being organized. At noon yesterday it was reported to theofliccrs that Guzzolo w.inseenThurs- day evening at a beergarden out on the extreme south of Thirteenth street. He came there about 3 o'clock and stayed until between 5 and G in the evening. He had all the marks cor- resionding with the description al ready given , but the proprietor had not read the papers and didn't know the imn was wanted. The money thus lost would pay for a daily news paper for fifty yeara to come. The Banio imlividu.il reported as being seen at the beer jjardon was a ain noticed about fi o'clock Friday mornIng - Ing going down the B. & M. track. towards Bellevue , having cut across the woods to that track. Westerdahl and McClure have gone to investigate the matter , and think they are'getting on the right track and will bag the game. The name cause which has revived the search hero is at wi-rk elsewhere aa may be seen by tlie following from Frl 'ay's ' Lincoln Journal : "Our po licemen were bustling about the city Ijwt night like hens on a hot griddle. The cause of this unusual commotion was the receipt of a telegram by the \VesternUnionoperatorof this city , from the operator at Pint tamouth , stating , in aub.'tance , that a man , un- the description of Gozolo , the murderer , had been observed entering a box car at Plattamonth. jiwl as the train was leaving that city for Lincoln. The Plattsmouth operator seemed corilident that the right man was in the car , and stated in the telegaam that ho would b ; > found in the eighth car from the engine. The telegram was received about 11:150 : , and the train from PJattsmouth was due liere at midnight. While Policeman Hyatt was telling ua about the dispatch Hank Mi-nfgomory put in an appeaaancc , and stated that a man answering the description had just left Ulalley's on hia way to the es tablishment of Frank Clark. Hyatt , having time enough to visit Clark's before the train arrived , made a search of the mansion , buti.o one answering the description could bo round. A few minutes before train time Hyatt and Newton started for the depot , but failing to report to us at U o'clock this morning , we judge that the man in the box car either got away r was not Gozlo. .

BLASTED HOPES. % The PlattsmoUh Bridge not Likely to Bring About a- Deduction of Rates. Alleged Fickleness of Omaha Business Men. Railway Miscellany. In conversation with a prominent ; entleraanofOmnh yesUrdayonewell ( versed tn railroad matters , a-BKB re- portar observed that ho liad bren led to believe that when the PhtUmouth bridge shall have been completed , Omaha will bo greitly benefittud by a coiuequunt reduction of freight-rates. The railroad man snid that such an impression was gaining a circulation in the city , but he could not see it in tint way. He argued that the C. B. & Q , would not be likely to initiate a war with the ) maha bridge for the uke of this city's patronage alone , when it could make much larger profits on the cast-bound U. P. through freight which it carries for three or four hundred miles from Kearney to Plattsmouth. And even 'f It ever did conclude to sacrifice this patronage to help Omaha himineps men , the lat ter would not stick .by it any length of time. "It has occurred several tiuiea , " said he , "during my long residence in Omaha , that thii biisinocH men have gone back on all contracts wit-h steamboats and railroads whenever a second road comeH in with its bid to do a well by them aa any other. These men are to blame fi r ho extortionate rates now exacted of them , and unless they show in-ira stability and fairness they will guffer until death overtakes them. " JULKSBURG AND DENVER.

FAILURE , [ * he Old Firm of Stephens & Wilcox makes an As signment. It will bo a surprise to many to : now that the firm of Stephens & Wilcox , one of the oldest doing busi- neas in this city , made an assignment , o-day , and have closed their doors. Oils firrii has been in business n this city for over 15 years , and ha ? always stood high n reputation for honor and honesty. Chefr bii'iinofs ' has beun in general hat ot dry goods and post-traders' supplies , and the secret of the trouble s believed to be bad accounts made in the latter department , a it is mown that collodions have been jeer for several months wat. It is certain that there h no dishonesty in the failure , and there is a general feeling of regret over their misfortune. The bulk of the indebt edness is with relatives , not over 25 to 33 per cent of it being to eastern creditors. The indebtedness probably reaches 875,000 to $100,000 , and the firm , wo understand , claims that their aascta will cover nil liabilities. The matter has bean kept very quiet and business run along as tuual until it became evident that there was no al- ternalivu , and Mr. Jacob U. Hen- drix. was to-day authorized to close out their afFura , and Is this afternoon making an inventory. Iltd the firm not sunk a fortune in bad ac counts with pnat traders it is believed no such disaster would have over taken them. Murphy & Lovettjlue.
