THE WILLIAMS HEE.
The Loss ai Insurance on
Building and Stock.
The dam ge by the fire of Thuraday
bight proved to bo much greater than
was at first supposed.
A reporter called at the store ye -
terday and found a large force bua-
ily engaged in putting things to riiht8. ;
He was informed that many things
supposed to be untouched by water
had been more or less damaged , in
cluding eonie fine India shawls. The
principal injury is , however , to the
stock of boots and shoes , on which
tha loss will be between $2,000 and
83,000. go far as haj been discover
ed the loss on dry gooda is something
over § 500 and may reach 81,000.
The water poured down through
the ceiling and even into the base
ment , where a lot of muslins piled
gainst the walls were damaged. Dr.
Dinamore's bath rooiis were to some
utent injured by the water. The
'ront rooms i < i the second story of the
ilock were smoked up a little , the
Iraupht carrying all the smoke direct-
iy that way. but the damage ia incon-
.iderable. . The back rooms and roof
, re badly wrecked , and the damage on
he building will 'reach several hun
dred dollars ,
It is expected by Mr. Williams that
everything wll be in oed shipe to
ipeu out again in the dry goods de-
ptrtment by this afternoon.

BBAVEASAUON ,
The Past History cf James
Odell , the Would-be
Suicide.
At a late hour last evening , Jainei
H. Odell , who attempted suicide on
Thursday night wast still lingering ,
although in great a ony and his re
covery is pronounctd impoesible by
his physician.
From Hon. W. H. Ijams , clerk of
the District Court , we learn some par
ticulars of tlie life of the unfortunate
man , which threw a li'tlo light on his
ctions He was well known to Mr.
ms years ago , in Ohio , when both
were bojs and played together.
Odell lived in Sarahsville and Mr.
jams in Caldwell , Ohio , both in the
ame locality. When the war broke
Dut in 1861 , the latter organized a
company in which Odell enlisted as a
private. He soon rose to the position
fist Sergeant and was promoted suc-
ce'sively until he finally became
Adjutant of the 30th Regiment of 0.
V. I. His career while in the ser-
ice was one continued series of atari-
ing adventures and brilliant achieve
ments. "He was , " says Mr. Ijams ,
"AS BRAVE AS A LION. "
He remained in the service until
nearly the close of the war , when he
went to Beaver , Pa , , and started a
paper. He also married there. He
afterward removed toYoungstown,0. ,
, nd started a paper which attained a
wide reputation , and quite a circula
ion , under the name of The Mahou-
ng Vindicator. He subsequently re
moved to Columbus , the capital , and
-here misfortune still pureued him.
iVithin the space of one year he lost
his wife and throe chil Jren his entire
amily. He then turned to the west
, nd came to Omah-t , because his
: ri nd , Mr. Ijun' : , was here , and dnr-
ng his residence in this place , when
nut at work , he has been the guest of
.hat gent'eman. ' His only r. latives
are a mctner and three sisters in
the Backeye state , who will be almost
he rt-broken over th.s unexpected CA-
amity.
Of late he has been subject to fre
quent fits of
MELANCHOLY AND DEPRESSION
of spiritB , although it was Hot sus
pected that he bad in mind any such
rash deed. It was probably to drown
these feelingfrthat he resorted to the
use of ardent spirits.
Mr. and Mri. Ij tms have both at
tended his bedside since the unfortu
nate affair nf Thurrday niuht , the in *
tent t f which was , as Odell admi s ,
t take his life , which he says is no
Ijneer valued by him.
He wasnot able to converse yesterday
morning. HP only said his agony wa
too excrutia'inn to allow him to ta k ,
and when Mr * . Ijuns ask d h m if he
anything sptcial to say , ho replied :
"Nothing , except God bless ynu. "
In the east where he was well known
he ia appreciated as a man of much
more than ordinary ability , and an
able and forcible writer. He is about
40 years of ace.
Died.

I would like to ask THE BEE a
friendly question and hope for a
friendly answer. If Poppleton re
ceives from Jay Gould § 10,000 a year ,
and Miller gels § 2,500 a year from his
hash house , and Thuraion receives
§ 3,000 a year to help Poppleton , and
Brooks gets $125 per month from the
U. P. pay roll , what difference will i' '
make to the producers of Nebraska
whether Poppleton and Miller or
Thureton nnd Brooks win in the com
ing election ? P. F. MDRPHY.

Among the piteengers on the over
land train west yesterday were a half
dozen bright , intelligent looking JapS ;
who were dressed like any white man ,
wore eye glasses , tarried canes and
were brimful of flln. They were all BO
young looking that our reporter took
them for students , but on inquiry
of the only one who
j could talk English , he learned
tiat it was a delegation of government
olice commissioners , who trereouthe
aat stage blit one of a trig arouhd
he world , taken partly for pleasure
nd partly to observe ihe wo ? kings of
hectaft in the variovp cm > uies of
Surope and America.
The parly left Yokohama nearly a

horoughly inspected every great
ity of Europe and America. They
are now' en route home , but will stop j
a few days on the coast. The names
of these aristocratic guardians of Jap

They regretted that they could not

THE VERDICT ,
A Jury Inquires'into the'Deatii
of Walter Lourey.
The particulars of the death of th
driver of hose cart No. 3 , as stated
yesterday , were substantially correct.
Shortly aflet nihe o'clock yesterday' ,
morning the jury assembled find I ,
I
the following witnesses were sworn
find ih-Mr testimony taken : J. j
S. Tucker , of the Metropolitan j
Hotel , J. J. Galligin , S. N. Mealio ,
Al. Sorensen and H. Anderson. I
The testimony was in accordance j
trith the facts stated < ind but few ad
ditional points wefe brought otlt. Mr.
Anderson wafc close by when the acfei ;
dent happened and he thought Lourey
fell over the foot-hoard , while Mr.
Sorensen thought he fell between
it ivnd the horae , Both agreed to
minor details and th * testimony
showed conclusively that the ditch in
the middle of the road was the cause
ef lib death.
Chief Galligan testified that Lourey
was a quiet , steady man , who attend
ed to his own business , and that he
had not drank a drop of liquor for
bver four years. Ho was a littln ex
citable , and probably was annoyed dt
getting a little behind his steamer ,
and was trying to catch up with her.
Ou the run up Sixteen'h street the
drivers never urge their hofses Until
they reach the foot of the incline at
the Douglas street crossing. The
chief thought that at that point the
driver leaned forward to urge his horse
on , and the tfruck at thill moment
descending into the ditch ho was
thrown forward , turned a somersault
and fell with his head under the
wheel , Driver was never fastened to
ihe edat on hose dirts nnd very seldom
on engines. The animal Lou
rey drove was an old horse in
the department and the driver treated
it with great consideration. When
he checked up on striking the ditch ,
the horsa nearly stopped , but when
the driver fell and it felt the slack
rein it dashed forward and instictively
a > ught its own steamer" and trad in
pUce when needed , so that at firat the
ohiijf thought it wa ? one of the engine
drivers who was hurt. Lonry bad
driven for him in all fix years.
Assistant Chief Mealeo and others
testified that , it was an Utter impossi
bility for a man to fall between the
horse and the truck , aa all the space
was occupied by straps , etc. The ac
cident happened at just twelve min
utes past midnight.
The jury returned the following
VERDICT :
"We the jury find chat the said
Walter Lourey came t'j his death ,
July 23,1880 , on the corner of Six
teenth and Douglas streets Omaha ,
Neb , by being accidentally thrown
from the hose-cart ho was driving , and
the wheel passing jver his head , crush
ing his skull and causing instant
death , no blame being attached to any
one. "
It is not known that the deceased
has a relative living. He h s a friend
in Ottumwa , Iowa , Con Lewis , to
whom he w a greatly resembled in ap
pearance. He was very close in busi
ness matters and laid bf enough
purchase a farm near Fairbury , Neb.
The remains will be at the under *
takers room until the funeral takes
place , which is not definitely fixed
yet. It is expected , however , that it
will occur on Sunday afternoon. The
burial will be with the honors of the
department and will take place from
the United Presbyterian church , of
which the deceased was a member.

It having been atcirtained by dor-
oner Jacobs tl'at Walter Lourey , the
fireman who fell at his post cf duty on
Thursday night , had a mother living

sponse last evening :
