OMAHA HOTELS.
They Are as Safe as the Average -
ago fr/ffl Fire ,
A Dsecription of the Diflercnt
HOUBOS.
The recant hotel fire in Milwaukee
accompanied with auch a great losi i f
, ( haa created a foiling cf fear in the
minds of the greater portion of the
traveling public. Whatever has been
aaid about the Nowliall houao being u
fire and d eath trap might probably bo
as truthfully said concerning hundreds
of other hotel s ruclurcs in the conn-
try , particularly in the west. Some
houses certainly are contracted with
the greatest care in order to in-
sure them against a calam
ity by firo. But a desire
to have a largo houio with a big ca
pacity for gueata i f ten loads the buildlin
or , with comparatively limited capital
to cat on the substantiality of the
building , and erect with a view of
making the hotel look imposing and
grand , when in reality it Is nothing
moro than a tender box , which when
the torch is applied Trill vanieh Into
the air iu the shortest poasiblo timo.
After the building has boon burned ,
and the fire has been attended with a
loss cf lif J , the wiseacres are around
saying , "I told you BO. " This docs
not help the matter. A Gh.'cigo
drummer was interviewed by a re
porter in that city a few days ago
and in answer to an inquiry r.aid that
ho could natno at least twenty-five
hotels in the weat which were equally
as unnafo no the ftuwhall had bocn
before its destruction.
A BKB reporter yesterday undo a
tour of the Omaha hotels to learn
from portoiul observation and inquiry
whether the drummer's assertion had
any application to them. Mention
made in yesterday's BKK that the
management ( f the P&xton had com
menced to adopt additional procnn-
tions against firo. A door has already
been out from the third floor of the
western wall to the roof the ad
joining building. It la contemplated
to cut another on the fifth floor und
to have n , stairway lending down onto
the runt of the building on the west ,
In addition to thoun hatchways wiil be
cut into thu Ibnra of the porticoi ( in
the Fourteenth und F-trnam rtreots
froutu. Permanent stairways will luuu
from each ll > nr to tbo other ? , ao that
eaoipo may bu made on the exterior
of the building. The exterior walls
i f the Paiton ro very good and thu
interior division fair , The hallways
are wide enough for all practical pur
poHou The otalrways of each fbor
are roomy and have n nc.tliciont width
The trouble with the Paxton , aa wiih
all other hotels which aru
not absolutely fire prod , Is
that the partitions and the interior
divisions are In A great part rondo of
wood , which , when on fire burn rap
idly. The egress by way of the stairs
in casu of a fire would bo difficult if
the flames originated in the lower
stories , and this is generally the case.
It haa been demonstrated many times
that about the only moans of oacapo
is ftciii the exterior walls , and on this
account probably the management of
the PttXiou have deemed it proper to
have the occ pen made by tneann of
the poitkos
The interior of the Paxton is about
like that of the generality of hotel
buildings. It is built with the inside
wullu facing on the area or open apacu
so aa to give llcjht nud air to the in
terior rooms.
The hulls running through < : ach
story are about 10 feoc wide end , if in
case of liru it wore puaslblo to uccapa
by moiins of the Htuira the hotel is am
ply provided. An is well kuo-rnthu
elevator bceomuD useless nil n tne a tin of
Fcapafor the ihmcs quickly Oittch
in the elevator ahifc and the
opening forms us good a
drr.ft for the fire as the
most elegantly constructed chimury
uould. In sotnit H'.UCH statutes uiriku
it compulsory with hotel proprictorn
to have iron doom on each Ibor ol
the olovutor way which nre closed at
night so that no draft can be created
in thn shaft in caui of fire. None ( .f
the Omaha hotels aio thus furnished.
Till ! JIILL.MU ) .
The Millard IB rather peculiarly
constructed and the manager , Mr
Shtmia , claims that this peculiarity
a ids to the safety of the building.
The dining room portion ironU g nn
Thirteenth street is two sturiuo lug'i
and the roof might bo utilized
in oiso of lira ns n place to jump upon
troni the main liuildlpg , The kilchmi
and icrvant'a department is a detached
od building , on the northuatt portion
of the hotel property , and is con-
tioctod with the principal structure by
bridges on the diiferont tloors. The
hallways are ton feet wide on each
floor , nud in themselves arc all right ,
If the fire so starlnd that Ihoy could
bo uiado use of. Tba lura r rotund *

ingo wore for the first and second
Ibors twenty-one inches in thickness ,
while the third , fourth und fifth were

It is said that the two partition walla
running north and south and the two
running east and west put the build
ing virtually into four compartments.

OLD SETTLERS.
The Mysterious Disappearance cf
Their President ,
The Way to Got n Qrlot Ground
Out Quick.
Jb'or several doyn pant a call for a
regular meeting cf the Old S.'ttlfis'
aS3ciatinn lias boon published in the
various pupare , to be hull at the board
of trade rooinc , laat tvening.
At the appointed time about twenty
or twonto-fifo had aaaotnbled , includ
ing Dr. Ilutvey Link , the patnarchal
member from Millard , who braved
iko ttorm to meet the old comrades
who braved the dangera ( f the fron
tier with him a quarter tf a century
ago.
ago.Tho hour net anatt f Jr the meeting
wan 7 ; 0 , and as H o'clock came and
wont and the preiidout , Mr. Alf. D
Jonoa , came not , the inntnbers were
nonplu'oed. IIo wau the ono who
hsd called the meeting and he wrn
known to have been particular ! )
urgent In regard to having a fair at
tendance , In the afternoon ho had
canopied another engagement on par-
poeo to attend , and was known to bo
punctual in kuopirg every engage-
mint ho made.
At length the mealing wan called to
order by choosing Mr. John Evans
as chairman and J.V. . Oatrom secre
tary pro tern.
The chairman expressed his fearo
that aomo accident had befallen
tbbi
brother Jones and Mr. Gibson was
appointed u committee ) of ono to re
pair to hid recidunco , just atound the
cosntr , and leurn the caueo of his
abscnoo.
In the meantime Icquiriea as to the
object of the mooting elicited no re-
sponao except ffom Mr. Geo. "W.
Horn MI , who thought it was to fix the
date far an annual meeting , sapper
and K'ood tlmo gonerally.
Pending the return of the committee
sent for Brother Jones , Dr. Harvey
Lent , of Millard , being cillod upon ,
told a good story abrut his experi
ence in getting a grlot of Hour ground
in the earlier dayc , when ho used to
bribe the miller with a halt pint of
good French brandy to grind hta grist ,
and not keep him fifteen days in watt-
inc ; and causing two trips between his
homo arid tha mill , which was at Cal-
houn.
During the speech Mr. Glbaan re
turned and reported that Mr. Jones
le-fc the houao between 0.30 and 7 p.
in. , ml had said that ho wau going to
attend the old eettloi-a' ' meeting. The
announcement of this news filled thu
audience with crmterniuloii , and all
wore sure that aomo untoward
accident had occurred to prevent
vent Mr. Jcius from being
present It was moved tint
the association adjourn , and it
was the determination of all to resolve
thomaclveu into a committee to search
for the lost tilhial. Upon adjourn
racnt thoae present gathered in little
knots on the street corner and dis-
cursed the myatnrious event , for
which they conld find no explanation.
Ono cf the number went so ftr as to
vioit the police headquarters and
leave word that Mr. Jones was miss
ing. The association then sdjournec
to moot at the call of the secretary.
Lito in the evening it was oscer
ainod that Brother Jonea had
eon been at the hall. and opened
op , The search finally re
ultcd in finding the lost man
who it appears got out of humor on
ccount of a late appearance of hits
rionda and had gone to the Odd Fol-
ows'hall to enjoy his meeting there
[ o wai alive and well land , as in many
thor instances , the sensation drop-
od witii his ro-nppearance.
