A few minutes after midnight Sat urday an alarm ot fire was sounded from box 12 , the stone of trouble being the old "Star" house on Harney , be- twoenlSth and 13th streets. The'fire started In a room in the second story near a bench opposite to and remote fromtha stove. A man named Gas- tave Schiller , acarpsnterby trade , oc cupied the room and certain suspic ious circumstaucea led to the belief that ho had started the fire. The de- part-nent turned out , but the bucket brigade got in ita work and saved the boya any trouble. After the fire Schiller was arrested on complaint of Mr. Henry Hoaian and one of his mou , who charged Him with arson. He was lodged in the city jail until 10 o'clock yesterday morning when he was removed to the county jail. The man is about 35 years of age and saya he is a consumptive. His stories Sat urday night were conflicting. Ho is believed by the officers to be now com pos mentis , and they say he ought to be in Lincoln. BUOTAL ASSATJIT. About 11 o'clock the same night a difficulty occurred in Wallenz's sa loon , on Leavenworth street , between the proprietor and a man named O'Neill , the latter being intoxicated. Mrs. Wailenz was present and ordered the man out of the houee , when a man named Fred. Hujvina interfered , and in the course r theole struck Mrs. Wall , u twice In the fact , one of the blows loosening several of her teeth. Hig gins was taken away by his brother and a physician and a policeman were Bant for , the latter arresting O'Neill and taking him to jail. The search for Higglns was not successful up to late last night , and it was belicvcc that he had left town. The pos < iblo result of the blows is more serious on account of Mrs. Wailenz being in a delicate condition at the time. WJiTED TO DIE. A faim hand named Lars Nelson who nays he came from Webster , Mo. near St. Louis , shot himself Saturday and was found about 4 o'clock in the afternoon , at his room in the Slaven house , In a serious condition. He had only bean in the city a few days and was laat EG en going to hia room about noon. A doctor was cummonec before it was discovered what the matter tor was , when the man acknowledge the deed and ascribed it to religious excitement and a general dlssatisfcc tion with mundane matters. He sale he was twenty-sir years of age , un married , without relatives , and dldn' care to Jive. He had fired three bnl lets , only two of which had taken cf feet. One injured the tongue am lodged in the back wall of the throat. The second entered the chest below the left nipple , and lodged in the re gion of the heart , where it is liable to produce inflammation of the lungs and pleura. The desperate individ ual had fired one shot into his mouth and his tongue was wounded and his month seriously burned.

The Neal Dow of Nebraska Enveloped in a Proth- ing "Fog. Three Missing Members Anxious ly Looted for at the. Capital. Scouting Parties Abroad Searching for Re cruits. Lively Debate in the Senate on the Railroad Bills , HOUSE. Special Correspondence to Tnx Bxx. LINCOLN , February 17. In the house this morning Mr. Howe of Ne- maha , moved the suspension of the rules that the house might go into committee of the whole to consider bills on the general file. This was a piece of i > trategem which the house promptly nipped In the bud. Mr. Howe's bill No. 85 , for & liquor pro hibitory amendment to the constitu tion was placed on third reading the other day , and was on the calendar for-consideration under the head to day. . Mr. Howe wanted this bill deferred , because several of itt > supporters were necessarily absent , and had expressed a strong desire to vote on the bill. The matter was of too great importance to be lost through the absence of a fun- men. It was not a matter of dollars - d cents , but a matter of good to onr -rmen. Three hundred thousand t i > e are waiting the verdict of this body on this great question. It has been debated here year after year j and they -want this matter settled at this time in the right way. Not only people ple of every vocation have petitioned the house , but the churches have peti tioned us to pu ' this bill , and I have presented this amendment in the In terest of the whole people. - Mr. SIcShane , of Douglas , rose to a point of order. The gentleman hac allowed his eloquence to carry him from the juestion , which was suspend ing the rules. .Mr. Howe wanted to say to those gontlsmen that have told their constit uents their Intention to vote on this. Mr. McShane "Does the gentle man want every member present be fore vote is takc&l" Mr. Howe wanted all the men pre sent who had asked to bo allowed to rote. "Our side of this debate have never taken advantage of anything that the rules did not entitle us to. 1 say to the members of this house those of yon who have constituents who expect you to show your hands to go on record to your people ; say to them whether you are m favor of this amendment. If yon vote on this ques tion this morning we shall lose the bill. We have other important busi ness and that bill can wait until nl members are present. It is unfair to deprive any member of hia right to go on record on so important a question aa this. " Mr. Bailey , of Washington : "Have yon any arrangement by which , when absentees may be present , others will be away. " Mr. Howe "We must have fifty ; ono members vote for this bi.l to make it a law. When wo lose three votes il is a great deal to us , but when you lose 10 votes it can make no difference to yon. I therefore ask the friends ol this bill to support the question thai the house now go into committee oi the whole. " Mr. Hollman , of Dakotasaid , it wsa not known why those men are ab sent. It should be understood among members of the house , that when they are elected members of the legislature they cannot expect to attend to pri vate business during the session. The people were waiting at the door of the honao asking for the passage of the bill , and because a few members were ' absent waa no xesaon'that the house should delay the vote. "We have had this matter under consideration for a long ti < ne , and I propose that we go on with the regular order of busi ness. The question Is , are we here ready to consider this question or hers to wait on anybody who may be ab sent" Mr. Kaley , of Webster , said the gentlemen had been complaining on the question of fairness. Wo have had a terrible storm on our handa. The gentlemen from Donploa came to him thb other day very anxious to go home , but wanted to vote on the prohibitory bill. I went so far as to pair off with one of these gentlemen. Now , then , they take the other side. They realize that two members of the majority of this house are away bo- cauio the train : do not run. 1 BSK that when thia matter comes to & vote It have the voice of every member of thia house. Usually it happens that the affirmative are anxicua for a vote on the question , but now the nega tive wont the question closed. Now I say and I challenge any ono to say that I have not mat every proposi tion on this question with fairness when once the natural order of things has been restored , then the members can take their chances of being pre sent to vote on this question. It ia only fair that all should bo heard. Mr. Bartlett , of Douglas , said it wis true that several members were ibsont , and prevented from returning by the storms. They had not ab sented thom&elvoa when Important business w&a to come up. They went away upon their private business. Now , then , what do the members do. The trains have been in running order while this bill ha ; voen under discus sion. While we desired that U should jo submitted to the people they took the question over us by the me of the jog law. Because we wore prevented rom considering Important amend ment 3 which would have come up in considering this bill we were driven away.from voting to submit this ques- ion "to the people. Now what do hey do. Why , because seme mem- JITS nre absent they make inroads up on the general order of business. Fnoy ask thut the rules may be sus pended. They are in no position to sk this. What is fair for one side a fair for the other. I ask the house o proceed with bills on third reading Cook , of Nuckolla , thought it a poor Irao for the gentleman from Dakota Hoi1 man ) to press his motion for an mmodiatu vote en this question , len had come up from behind and agreed to furnish R&tisoin's amend ments to thu bill No. 85 as long aa the iouse could ba held to the question , mt fortunately discussion had been checked in tha question. Ransom , of Nemaha , "Name a man who said that to me just name onel" [ Ransom sits next to Cook , and it ookod like bnaineaa with thorn for a minute. ] Mr. Whedon , of Lanoater , "Mr. Speaker , I rise to A point of order. " Mr. Speaker "The. gentleman will tate hia point of order. " Mr. Whedon "There is likely to ba .rouble ever hero ! * ' ( Laughter. ) Mr. McShane , of Douglas , road from the rules where it required a ; wo-thirda vote to change on order of business. Mr. Speaker The question is whether the house shall go into com mittee of the whole , to consider bills on general file. Mr. Jensen , of Butler , amended to strike out the words "on general file" and Insert "to continue special order of yeaterday ( which woa railroad bills. ) Mr. Howe , cf Nemaha , moved that the house proceed with the regular or der of business. Mr. Sprlck , of Washington I. want the'clerk instructed to put it on record that the gentleman from Ne maha moved that. Mr. Slocumb moved to take a re- cea till 2 o'clock. Mr. Ransom , of Otoe What doea the gentleman Vant a recess for ? Mr. Slocumb I want to call a committee. Mr. McShane , of Douglas We are no : ; through with the order of boa- inccs. We cannot take a recess with out a suspension of the rules. Mr. Ransom Wo are wasting too much time with thia bnaineas. It coSts the state elghty-four doliara per hour for thia kind of thing. These men cannot be in a very great hurry. One gentleman OE Ihe floor of this hoiue had a bill locked up for twenty-four hotira. Mr. Mickey , of PolkThe gentle man is stating what is false. The chair called the gentleman to order. The ayea and nayea were called for on the motion to take a recess , which was carried. At two o'clock Mr. Howe moved that house-roll No. 85 be recommitted to the committee on constitutional amendments. Mr. Bartlett , of Douglas , wanted to know the object in recommitting thia bill , aa it waa ready for passage. . Mr. Howe The majority of this house are not ready to vote on this bill until all its friends are here. We des ire to put it away where it will be safe. A long and tiresome argument here ensued upon the point that a bill could not ba recommitted after having been ordered t : > the engrossing committee forthhvl reading. The chair hold that the bill in ques tion had not boon ordered to third reading but had taken its natural place under that heading on tbo calendar. A motion to recommit wa * in order. Mr. McShano , of Douglas , moved that the motion of the gentleman from Nemaha be laid upon the table "for safe-keeping. " Mr. Kyner , of Douglas , amended by "laying the gentleman , also , upon the table. " [ Laughter. ] After more wrangling the original motion to recommit prevailed , and again the crowds in the galleries went away disappointed. . The house then resolved itself Into a committee of the whole , Mr. Welle , of Franklin , in the chair. On motion the special order of yes terday was resumed being that of railroad bills. Housa roll Nos. 1 and 2 , to ' 'pro vide a system of revenue" was taken up. It provides for the local taxation oi railroads , etc. No final action .was taken upon it. The ( womQn suffragists , who have been waiting to be heard for some time , have been granted to-morrow at 10:30 : to convert the members into their faith. The bill to submit an amendment to the constitution to the people in their behalf will also bo con sidered at that hour. SENATE. The senate bill limiting the fare on railroads to three cents par mlle for passenger and 100 pounds of baggage , waa reported correctly engross id and ordered to third reading. Mr. Gero moved to refer the bill bnek to the committee on railroads , giving aa a reason for thia that cno of the bills introduced by the special railroad committee covers the same ground. Mr. Yan Wyck , of the special com mittee , Informed him that such waa not the case ; that their bill referred to freight charges , and did not touch paaaenger rates , for the very reason that this bill was already before the senate. Mr. Gere then said ho would move to refer it back without any reason. A prolonged . discussion ensued , which resulted in defeating the mo tion to recommit the bill to the rail road committoc , but it waa referred back to the committee of the whole , and will probably be , called up to morrow. In the course of thia discussion , Mr. Van Wyck said , "The gentleman may attempt to kill this * bill by recommit ting it to the committee on railroads , but vote to do that is really a vote againzt the bill and they must make up their minds to accept all the re- sponalbllty which such a vota will in cur upon them. They cannot deceive their constituents by saying that they did not vole against the bill. If they want to defeat it let tbom place them selves squarely on record to that ef fect , and not show their bad faith and cowardice by shirking the responsibil ity of voting upon the bill at all. " Gore If you pass thia bill , you will crush out all the new roads in the atate. atate.Van Van Wyck What roada ? Gere All the road" in the state except the U. P. and B. & M. Van Wyck Do you mean the Re publican Vnlley road 1 Gere Yea. Van Wyck Lot mo tell you that is a part of the C. B. & Q. great trunk line , and there are really but two rail roads in Nebraska. These two have ; obbled up or purchased all the oth ers. Gere I never heard of the B. & M. purchasing any other road. Van Wyck Then you must keep yourself exceedingly well posted aa a public journalist if you don't know : hat the B. & M. has obtained pos session of the A. &N. and other roads. Gere Well , if you crush out theao roads you won't have any others. Van Wvck Why do you talk about crushing out railroads , whCn ou have nothing to say about crushing out the joople west of Ihe Missouri river ? This question has been discussed : horooghlyand ( every imn understands t. Eacn member knows how he in tends to votOj. and you have no hope of changing the opinion of any one. [ t is a poor time to talk about crnah- ng out railroads when every railroad man in the country ib growing rich 'rom the profits. There is no hostile emulation and wo do not desire any. TV e want a little protection for the people while the railroad owners are jecomirg millionaires. In Iowa and other states where theaa "things arn regulated by legislation the railroad managers claim to make more money ban they did whan they fixed the rates themselves. If this ia true in Iowa , why not in Nebraska ? Myera When the railroads were irat built In Nebraska they developed the state and made everybody proa- > erous and happy. They were com- ) ell i to charge ten cents a mile , but nobody complained. Stages had charged one dollar a mile. As soon ai thoycould'do so they reduced their rates to five canta a miio and if you et them alone they will come down to lalf that amount. They ( never did and never will refuse to make their rates aa low aa the" necessities of the people demand and their own profits nstify. If you abuse them , they will ; nrn around and crush you. The only way to deal with a railway cotupany la o let them do just aa they please. Then they will bo generous , but if you try to drive them they will kicb Don't press down on these companies that have done business at a loss simply to make you rich. All your wealth , prosperity and happiness come from railroads , and If you incur their displeasure yon are lost. There waa no clamor when the Union Pacific road nsed to charge ten cents a mile. Van Wyck Was there no tlamor when people nsed to haul their grain and drive their cattle from Fremont to Omaha , because they could do this cheaper than to ship them ? Was there no clamor when congress &wos called to regulate these rates and did actually paaS through the lower house , but before it could go " through the senate the company reduced its rates' ] Myer * " These questions are either buncomo or they are to entrap me. " . Van Wyck "They are not for bun combe nor to entrap yon , They relate to facts , and I would not try-to trap ao old a fox nor so aged a sinner as yon are. " Myers "I was formerly a mem ber of the constitutional convention. Then I shouted for anti-monopoly. I denounced the money power , and thought I waa a big Injun. But when I went to China and saw the people besotted with opium , making no progress , living in filth and idle ness , wearing the same shoos their ancestors had worn for 3,000 years , then I realized what railroads had done for America. Shakespeare said , 'Prt money in your purse,1 but we say Invest your money in railroads. I'm glad I ain't a Rothschild , for I should be afraid to put my money in railroads , lost some hostile legislation might crush them and rain mo. If you irtnt to grow rich and happy , let the railroads alone. If you try to govern them by legislation , your country will go to ruin and you will have to carry your crops to market in baskets onyourheada. " In the afternoon Senator Van Wyck , from the committee to investigate the letting of the printing contract , stated that Mr. Hathaway had been before the committee and refused to answer the questions. Ho asked that tha sergeant at-arms bo instructed to no tify Mr. H. to appear before the sen ate and bo examined. It was so or dered. Mr. Van Wyck then proceed ed to show that there had been ex tensive frauds perpetrated upon tLe state in this connection : that the state w&s charged $1.60 per thousand for setting the type and that the com positors who do the work receive only 30 cents ; that the pages are stretched to double the requisite length and that the paper ia not such aa was spec ified in tho.contract. MX. Gero made a plaintive appeal for The Journal company , saying it ia one of Nebraska's noblest institutions ; that it has continually done printing for the atate at a loss and such inves tigations as this ere liable to cripple it. He moved mat the whole matter bo referred to the judiciary commit- too. too.Mr. Mr. Van Wyck thought it in poor taste for Mr. Gore , a partner of Mr. Hathaway , who ia arraigned for alleged frauds , to aak to have thia matter re ferred to a committee of which Mr. Gore is a member. Mr. Gere denied that ho w&a a part ner of Mr. Hathaway. * Mr. Van Wyck drew the record of Mr. Hathaway'a investigation and read : Question "Who constitutes the Journal company ? " Hathaway Mr. Gere , Mr. Msnden- hall , Mr. Clark and myself. Mr. Myera said he thought Mr. Hathaway could refuse to answer any questions which would criminate him- eelf. eelf.Mr. Mr. Van Wyck thought Hathaway would not thank his friend Myers for placing him in the position of a crim- ' iual and'claiming thj privileges of one. one.A resolution waa adopted requiring the auditing board to taktfinto con sideration all the deviations from the contract and Impose the penalties prescribed by law for violation of the same. , The bill providing for the repeal of section 47 of the general statutes re lating to hospital for the insane having been reported for passage , a number of members of the judiciary commit tee aaked that the report bo withdrawn for reconsideration. The requnst waa refused. The object of this bill is to relieve the counties , which send pa- tienta to the hospital , from the assess ment of ? 3 per week for each patient as is the case under the present law , J. B. H.

Among the new onterpriees starting continually iu our midst is one the importance of which must make it an important institution at no distant day. Thin la the manufacture of an article called "bollor purgor" by Mr. James Smith , a practical chemist and machinist. The article is for the pur pose of cleaning off the scales which accumulate on boiler flues and of preventing like accumulations. En- Ineera all know how great an advan tage such an article would bo , and we * understand that aside from its preven tion of all necessity of laving up lo comotives for repair of fluea and boil er heads which have burned out it will result ia a saving twenty-five to thirty per cent In fuel.
