Details of the Disaster High-
Happenings at
Home.
The rnmor of a Eftrious wreck on
the Rock Island road last night , which
occurred to the train that left Omaha
Thursday morning , was talked of con
siderably on the streets yesterday , but
nothing definite was known by the
general public , and the officials , if
posted , were reticent on the sub
ject. The details will bo found in the
following :
Sped * ! Dispatch to The Eoe.
CHICAGO , January 21. 4 p. m.
The passenger ttaln on the Rock Is *
land road encountered a broken rail
at midnight , at Tiskelwa , III. The
engine , baggtge car and smoking car
passed safely over bi't three coaches
and the sleeper were thrown from the
track. The first coach that went off
took fire and was burned. Ono wo
man waa burned to death. About a
dozen persons were injured ,
The passenger coach which was
burned , went over a Bleep embank
ment. Tha others which left the
rails , did not go down and no one was
severely injured. The most eorious
casualitlen were : Killed Sirs. Kirby ,
of Nevada , O. Injured Matt
Phelps , Grlnnell , la , shoulder dis
tracted ; Mrs. Holden , Patterson ; Mrs.
Dow , Wintersett , slightly hurt } J.
W. HuRhett , Chicago , slightly In
jured , nnd several Otners.
The accident delayed all trains
about five hours. The officials of the
road say it was unavoidable , and no
blame attaches to anyone.
The conductor , Charles Wheeler ,
says that ho Vfaa In the smoking car
and firat realized what had happened
when he felt the car bouncing on the
ties. Itgained the rails againj however -
over , but on looking back ho saw the
ramainder cf the train lying
in the ditch , with the exception
of the two tear sleepers. The four
that had jumped the track lay in con
fusion several feet from the roadbed ,
and the first car was in flame : . Ho
rang the signal to slow up and as eoon
as ho deemed II cafe to do so jumped
off and tan to the assistance of those
in the wrecked cars. A terrible scena
mot his gaze. The interior of the first
passenger car was a sheet of flame.
JHen and women wore fitrUggliug
frantically to get out ahd were tramp
ling each other in their frenzy to ee-
capo lha fare. 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 passengera in this car.
In the revolution which the car made
down the embankment the stoves were
hurledfromtheir places and thoburning
wood scattered in every direction.
Mrs. Kirby , % lady of 50 yosra , who
was seated in the rear end of the tar ,
fell a victim to the flames. Hot cloth
ing was burned from her body , and it
was with great difficulty that she
could be handled , as the flesh was
ready to drop from her bones. She
was finally removed to the f iekilwa
Hotel , but her birns were so serious
that she died this morning. She was
accompanied by her daughter , a la'dy
of 30 years , and they were on their
way to Nevada.
The conductor was severely burned
about the hands aad by inhaling the
flames in rescuing tao passengers.
Thomas Gorman and wife , of Dallas ,
Iowa , wore iu the burning car. Their
account corresponds with thai told by
the conductor.
William 0. Thompson was severely
Injured about the head. The wounded
were brought to this city at 11 n. m.
The wrecked train left Omaha -at
7:30 : yesterday morning. "

PLUCKING PAXTON.
The Beign of Terror at the
State Capital.
Lincoln Is just now suffering from
the presence and activity of a gang of
professional 'pick-pockets who ply
their calling at the opera house , hotels ,
tidi
depots and elsewhere. Hon. William
A. Paxton , of this city , was among the
luflerers Thursday. HiS pocket-book
containing about $1200 in notes and
a 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 his railroad passes were
stolen , being in the same receptacle.
No trace at the thief could llo found ,
From a gentlemen who came up on
the noon train to-day we learn that
eight robberies were committed yes
terday in the Opera House alone , ono
of them being that of a valuable
diamond ear ring , which was actually
slipped out of the lady's eat S3 she
was leaving the house.
Postmaster Keckley , of the house
of representatives wai relieved of his
pockotbobk while entering the Opera
HoUse. it was talon froih his inside
coat pocket. Fortunately It contained
nothing but pipers , having deposited
his cash on hrud in the First National
bank a few hours before.
The wife of a Nebraska senator ,
wtm relieved of her pockc'.book , con
taining about § 10 in money and a
railroad ticket to Columbus , at the
B. & M. depot yesterday
Varirina other robberies are "report
ed and the worst part of it is that they
can't catch any of the rrscals , which
would indicate that they are experts
who hare probably visited the capital
from some eastern city in anticipation
of reaping a rich harvest. AB they
must obtain tickets from some of the
members or ofHcem of the legislature
in order io got , it is a little singular
that the gatna csn't be stopped by rig
id rules as to the issue of those tickets
by members to strangers.

Tha three societies , the Turn-
Vereln , Concordia and Wtennerchor ,
have about concluded to erect a hall

the convention next sumirer. To
this end the societies have appointed

The loca'ion of the now building
has been chcaon , but is not yet to bo

This is a most important project
and we 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's new
Opera House , which will be com
pleted in August , we wonld have
ample fscilitio3 for the finest musical I

Fierce Conflagration During
the Storm of Wind and
Snow bast 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 , magni
fied by the reflection on the snow
which was falling , formed a most
alarming sight. Those who first saw
It Iran to tha ston ? of Mr. T. 0. Bm
ner , 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 Cru being in en entirely different
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
burniJig , Vle dd front 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 the south
sldfe of California between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets , which were
owned by Mr. John Johnson , the res'
estate dealer , No. 1324 Farnam street
and occupied by a couple of Swodi
families. Th8 buildings were o
frame , one-story , and evidently old
and they burned like paper. From
the time the flames burst forth to tha
occupied by out rBpdrtef In fdnnin'g
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 fltmes across an open
space in the centre of the square so as
to threaten a disastrous conflagration ,
tint thii was sooii checked whcd the
firemen got at it. A singular phenom
enon was witnessed in the appearance
of a reflection cast into the air from
the fife. It was brorid at the base
end extended to the Zenith whore it
culminated in a point , like an elongat
ed pyramid of fire. It waa very much
like a brilliant display of the northern
lights.
The fire waa 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 nero taken care of.
The namoi and whereabouts of the
people thus cruelly turned out in the
storm , It was impossible in the con
fusion to obtain.

MORE DEtlLTRV.
In the police court this morning two
of the Davia boys were up on the
charge of grand larceny and were
committed to the county jMl to await
further examination. This case was
skilfully worked up by Officer tames
Donahoe , the youngest man on the
force , who exhibits considerable abili
ty in his profession. He 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 ,
boys resisted the arrest and Andy
Borden and Charles Helvrig were call
ed on before the two could be subdu
ed and marched off to jail. In the
melee the watch was In some myster
ious manner dlspoiad of , but notwith
standing tills it ia beliered that there
Is a clear case against the prisoners' .
TRAMP ! TRAMP ! TRAMP !
A fine looking array of tramps was
steered into court by the jailor , and
eleven frowsy heads tfzfd fafleSj and
clothes that were badly soiled to
match , confronted the judge. They
were not gathered in from box cars
brcaveaj 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 ierm that the judge in his
kindness might grant them. Six o
them dretf prices and went to the
rock pile for five days each. Five o
them were bounced , of this numbe :
four were from Council Bluffs wher
they had worn ont their welcome am
then we're fired ottt of town. Thos
who were sent up had acquired1 a resl
dencehere haying reglateredat the hote

nd recognizing their rights they wen
put to work to earn their Board ant

the authorities will who1

over the ice. When the river is
open they haVe Id run their Chanced
and steal their w < iy back in a box car.
Officer J. O'Donohce ' , frestsrdaf'
about 11 o'clock , arrested Pat Gn'heen '
on the charge of highway robbery.
At first the prisoner stoutly main
tained his innocence , b'dt on the way
to the lock up he was induced
to think better of It , and con
fessed to the officer that he
did the job and told him where to find
the property. It appears that on
Tuesday night last Ouhoen 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 , Guheen asked Eigan what time
It waa. The latter not suspecting any
foul play drew out his watch ,
a very fine > heavy silver case and
one of tha beat American movements ,
when , euddenly Gubeen gave him a
blow with one hand and with the
other seized the watch , and ran away.
He threw 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 directions
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 be a clear one and
if no new developments are made Pat
Is likely to go over the road.
