The rumor of a irfcrioua wreck on

SpecUl Dispatch to Tbo Boo.
CHICAGO , January 21. i p. m.
The passenger ttaln on the Ilock Is
land road encountered a broken rail
at midnight , at Tiskclwa , III. The
engine , baggige car and smoking car
passed safely over but three coaches
and the sleeper were thrown from the
track. The first coach that wont off
took fire and was burned. Onowo
man was burned to death. About a
dozen persons were injured.
The passenger coach which was
burned , went over a steep embank
ment. The others which left the
rails , did not go down and no ono wa > ;
severely injured. The most sofious
casualitlen were : Killed Mrs. Kirby ,
of Nevada , 0. Injured Matt
Phelps , Grlnnell , la , shoulder dis
tracted ; Mrs. Holdcn , Patterson ; Mrs.
Dow , Wintersett , slightly hurtj J
W. Hufihett , Chicago , nlightly In
jured , and "several " tttners.
The accident delayed all trains
about Gvo hours. The officials of the
road say it was unavoidable , and
blame attaches to anyone.
The conductor , Charles Wheeler ,
says that ho Was In the smoking car
and first realized what had happened
when he felt the car bouncing on the
tics. It.gained the rails atgainj how
ever , bul on looking back ho saw the
remainder cf the train lying
in the ditch , with the exception
of the tvro rear sleepers. The fonr
that had jumped the track lay in con
fusion several ioct from the roadbed ,
and the first car was In flames. lib
rang the signal to slow up and as aoon
as ho deemed II cafe to do so jumped
off and ran to the assistance of those
in the wrecked cars. A terrible scene
mot his gaze. The interior of the first
passenger car was a sheet of flsmo.
Men and women were fctruggliug
frantically to fret out ana were tramp
ling each other in their frenzy to ca-
capo lha hrc. Windows were broken
in as quicklyas possible and people re
moved from the car and taken to a
place of safety. In all there were
about twenty passengers in this car.
In the revolution which the car made
down the embankment the stoves wore
hurledfromtheir places and thobarning
wood scattered In every direction ,
Mrs. Kirby , % lady of 50 years , who
was seated in the roar end of the car ,
fell a victim to the flames. Her cloth
ing was burned frcra her body , and it
was with great difficulty that she
could be handled , as the flash was J1
ready to drop from her bones , She
was finally removed to the * lakilwa
Hotel , but her fertrna wore so serious
that she died this morning. She was
accompanied by her daughter , a lady
of 30 years , and they were on their
way to Nevada.
The conductor was severely burned
about the hands and by inhaling the
flames in rescuing tnp passengers.
Thomas Gorman and wife , of Dallas ,
Iowa , wore in the burning car. Their
account corresponds with that told by
the conductor.
William O. Thompson was severely
Injured about the head. The wounded
were brought to this city at 11 a. m.
The wrecked train left Omaha-at
7:30 yesterday morning.

PLUCKING PAXTON.
The Reign of Terror at the
State Capital.
Lincoln IB just now Buffering from
the presence and activity of a gang of
professional ' pick-pockoU irho ply
their calling at the opera house , hotels ,
depots and elsewhere. Hon. William
A. Paxton , of this city , was among the
iufferers Thursday. Hi5 pocket-book
containing about § 1200 in notes and
small sum of money , was
stolen from his pocket in the
Opera House , where the balloting for
United States Senator was going on
In addition hii railroad passes were
stolen , being in the B mo receptacle.
No trace ot the thief could bo found.
From a gentlemen who came up on
the noon train to-day wo learn that
eight robberies were committed yes
terday in the Opera House alone , one
of them being that of a valuable
diamond oar ring , which was actually
slipped out of the lady's aat aa she
7as leaving the house.
Postmaster Keckloy , of the house
of representatives wai relieved of his
pocketbook while chtering the Opera
House. It was taken from his inside
coot pocket. Fortunately It contained
nothing but pipers , having deposited
his cash on h ; nd in the First National
bank a few hours before.
The wlfp of s Nebraska senator ,
was relieved of her pockoibook , con
taining abyut 510 in money and a
railroad ticket to Columbus , at the
B. & M. depot yeaterdayi
VaritSua other robberies arc "report
od and the worst part of it is that they
can't catch any of the rascals , which
would indicate that they are experts
who hare probably visited the capital
fem some eastern city in anticipation
of reaping ka rich harvest. As they
nust obtain tickets from some of ihi
members or officer * of the leplslatun
ti order to got , it is a llttlo singular
that the gama can't bo stopped by rig
id rules as to the issue of theao tickets
by members to strangers.

The Three German Societies
of this City and Their
Praiseworthy Project.
Cur ( German friends are vigorously
poshing the preparations for the great
musical event which is to occur in this
city next summer , OHO of fhe retiuia-
ites to TWch. is a commodious and
Duitablo hall for the use of the Sain-
gerbund. We understand that Mr.
' Brandt offered to sell them his hall 1
for 312.500 , but deeming this too high
& figure his proposition was not ac
cepted.
Tlis three societies , the TurnVerein -
Verein , Concordia and Mioiinerchor ,
have about concluded to oreot a hall
for their joint use and for the use of
the convention next sumiror. To
this end the societies have appointed
a committee of throe each to Confer
in regard to the nlattfir , and this com
mittee will meet on Monday evening
next.
The committees are ai follows :
Turn-Verein Fruehauf , BUrmesler ,
Andrea ; Ooncordia SlratmanPandt , ,
Haarmiu ; Mtcunerchor Boeckhoffj
Mack , Wirth.
The loca'ion of the now building
has been chcaon , but is not yet to bo
made public.
This is a most important project
and wo hope it will succeed. A fine
. hall owned by the German societies
would bo an advantage to the city in
, many ways , and with Boyd'a new
Opera House , which will be com-
ploted in August , we would have
ample facilities for the finest musical
and dramatic entertainments in the
country. This is not only the latest
but one of the mo < t desirable of the
many contemplated improvements for
the year 1881.

Fierce Conflagration During
the Storm of Wind and
Snow Last Night.
About 8 o'clock last evening a
bright light was discovered in the di
rection of California and Thirteenth
Streets , which rapidly grew , until a
broad glare lit up the sky and , magnl
tied by the reflection on the snow
which was falling , formed a most
alarming sight. Those who first saw
H * -an to the store of Mr. T. 0. Brnn *
ncr , corner of Capitol avenue and
Sixteenth street , and gave the alarm
of fire from box 15 , wlich was In
stantly responded to , but owing to
the fire being in nn entirely differed
neighborhood from the box pulled ,
the drivers wore confused , and were
some little time in striking the route.
It looked as if a whole block was
buruitig , vle dd frorii tile centre o !
town , but after facing the gale which
loaded with snow , was driving square
ly from the north , the fire was reach
ed and found to bo confined to two
small dwelling houses on tbo south
eld's ' of California between Tweltth
and Thirteenth streets , which wore
owned by Mr. John Johnson , the rea
estate dealer , No. 1324 Farnam street
and occupied by a couple of Swod <
families. The buildings were o
frame , one-story , and evidently old
and they burned like paper. From
the time the flames burst forth to tha
occnpled by out rtipdrtef In rdnnitig
five blocks , one of the houses was to
tally destroyed , and the other
devoured all except the frame and a
portion of the roof. The occupants
had barely time to save a few of their
goods and escape with their lives The
wind swept the flitnea across an open
space In the centre of the square so as
to threaten a disastrous conflagration ,
but UiitS was sooh cheeked when the
firemen got at it. A singular phenom
enon was witnessed In the appearance
of a reflection cast into the air from
the fire. It was broad Ht the base
end oxtonde d to the fcenith whore it
culminated in a point , like an elongat
ed pyramid of fire. It was very much
like a brilliant display of the northern
lights.
The fire was soon extinguished and
by 0 o'clock the great crowd that had
assembled at the spot had dispersed
and the neighborhood was once more
quiet and deserted. Inquiry as to
the origin of the fire elicited nothing
further than that two little children
- had been left alone in the house where
the flames started , and that they es
caped safely and ttero taken care of.
The namei and whereabouts of the
people thus cruelly turned out in the
storm , it was impossible in the con
fusion to obtain.

MORE DZtlLTRV ,
In the police court this morning two
of the Davis boys were up on the
charge of grand larceny and were
commiltsd to the county jftll to await
further examination. This case was
skilfully worked up by Officer James
Donahoe , the youngest man on the
force , who exhibits considerable abili
ty iu hifi profession. Me detected the
two men trying to dispose of a ladies
gold watch , two gold chains and
some other articles ; said to have been
forcibly taken from a woman. The
boys resisted the arrest and Andy
Borden and Charles Helwig wore call
ed on befoio the two could be snbdn
od and marched o f to jail. In the
melee the watch was in some myster
ious manner disposed of , but notwith
standing ttils it ia faltered that there
is a clear case against the prisoners.
TRAMP ! TRAMP 1 TBAMf !
A fine looking array of tramps wfts
flteerad into court by the jailor , and
eleven frovtby tiaads ° d faces * and
clothes that were badly soiled to
match , confronted the judge , They
were not gathered in from box cars
br caves ; but came voluntarily to the
jail last night for lodging. They
don't have to be hunted these days.
They were all anxious to be sent to
jail for any terra that the judge in his
kindness might grant them. Six of
thorn dre > r prizes find went to the
rock pile for five days each. Five of
them wnro bounced , of this number
four were from Council Bluffs where
they had worn out their welcome and
then wfere rircd otlt of town. Those
who wore sent up had acquired a reel-
denceherohaylugregisteredat the hotel
Westordahl for three successive nights
p.ncl rocognteing their rights they were
put to work to earn their Board and
iG-ig ! " . As soon as the river bracks
up the authorities will give iu 7hol °
crowd the g. b. and start them east
ward. At present it would be a USB-
leys job as they would walk right back
over the icd When the rlrer is
open they have td run their dhauces
and steal their way back in a box car.
rJDliEEN'a ouiLT.
Officer J. O'Donohce ' , yesterday
about 11 o'clock , arrested Pat Gn'heen
on the chare of highway robbery.
At Tint the prisoner stoutly main
tained his innoootice , b'rit on the way
to the lock up he was induced
to think bettor of it , and con
fessed to the officer that , ho
did the job and told him where to find
the property. It appears that on
Tuesday night last Ooheen and Dennis
Eagan , the latter of the U. P. shops ,
were coming along Tenth street to
gether and when on the sidewalk near
the B. & M. headquarters on the
north , Gnheen asked Eigan what time
it was. The latter not suspecting any
foul play drew out his watch ,
a very fine > heavy silver case and
ono of the best American movements ,
when , suddenly Guheen gave him a
blow with ono hand and with the
other seized the watch , and ran away.
Ho throw the watch down or dropped
it soon after and it lay on the side
walk in plain sight from that time un
til noon to-day , when Don
ahoe found It from direction !
given him by the prisoner. The gold
chain attached was gone , howeverand
is said to have been sold or traded off.
The watch and chain were worth $90
The case seems to bo a clear one and
if no now developments are made Pat

Mr. D. W. Hoover , writing from

speaks as follows of the effects of the
recent cold snap there : "On the
morning of the 10th int. , the mercury
got down to 42 ° balow zero. We
have over 200 hogs and half of them
froze their tails so that they are
cracking off and the hogs going around
with bleadinr stumps instead of tails.
Ono third of them froze thnir ears so
that they are falling off also , some of
them to within a half inch bf the head
