Within a very short tlmo after , ward Air. Iluntoon , who lives almost op poaito the above number wan beckoned to come across the street by a young colored orod woman who was loaning against the front yard fence of Mr. Tom Orr'a real donee. On going over Mil. HCNTOON HAW IIXOD ) streaming down the woman's neck who said , "My husband shot mo because 1 would not go to " and was stopped in her attempt to toll the cause of hoi wounds by the blood in her throat. Upon being aakod wnoro ho was replied that ho waa in the kitchen. The wound ed woman was taken back to the house by Mr. Iluntoon and Mr. McClure , who had boon attracted to the flcono. Upon going to the kitchen the prostrate form of a man was found lying in one corner , partially doubled up in a pool of blood , with a Cvo chambered , KOHTV-roun OALIDLK HEVOLVKU AT ITH BIDE. The wounded man when found was in an inaonsiblo condition and when last he rd from had not recovered conscious- ness. A physician was telephoned for and in a few moments Drs. Hart and Hanchott arrived. Upon examination the woman was found to have received three shots. Ono pistol ball had entered the mastoid process just behind the loft oar , the second had penetrated the loft lido of the nock below the angle of the | aw and was presumed by the surgeons to have lodged against the inferior maxillary on the right aide , while the third ball had nearly torn off the indoz Gngor oftho loft hand. The manwas found to havo. lU'.UElVKD HUT ONE WOUND. the ball entering the mastoid process of the right temporal bono , and penetrating the skull about a half an inch. The sur geons sot about probing and succeeded in extricating the ball from his wound and also from the ono in the woman's head Ho waa then placed in a carriage and it is said was taken to St. Joseph's hospital. From the little that could bo learned concerning the affair , it appears that the woman whoso name is Mary Fields , went to work for Mr. Orr as a domestic a week igo last Wednesday and has continued in his employ over since. Shortly after > ho began in her now place the wounded nan whoso narao is Elijah Fields came TO VISIT IIEn ONCE Oil TWIUK. ind did not return again until yesterday 'oronoon. At thtatimo ho came and gave icr some money and asked her to go and live with him. She refused , and in thu if tornoon ho came again and asked her to return the money ho had given Jior. After tie had cone the second tlmo Mrs. Field , who had novorbcforo said arty thing about her marriage relations , ' told the people with whom aho lived that the man who liad coaio to see her ( WA.S HER [ n the evening while Mr. Orr and his 'amily were out riding , ho appeared for ; ho third time yesterday , and the result > f the mooting was what has boon stated ibovo. On the Itoor of the kitchen was found i note written in his own hand stating ho ia.s going to die and that ho and his vifo would bo buried in > ono grave. It ilao gave the address , 005 Baltimore itroot , KansasCityas the place where his Brother is at work. It appears that Field was a worthloas iporting follow , and was considerably iddictod to drink , on account of which iho determined TO KiaiiT UFK'H nATruiH AI.ONK. Several colored men who know him in Kansas Oily say ho was a porter in a saloon there and spent his money in gambling and drink. But little could bo learned of his wife , who is about 22 years old , She had boon but a short time at Mr. Orr's , but was lonkod upon by the Family as a most honest and industrious woman. She trill remain with them , where aho will receive the boat of care ind treatment at their hands , The phy- licians say it is extremely probable that Field will die of his wound , but they ihlnk his wife will recover. WANTED TT GENOA , U. P. Tram Mon Charged With Females. James Zibboll , sheriff of Nance coun .y , has boon in the olty for two days past irith warrants for the arrest of five men n the employ of the Union Pacific rail road company. The men were charged irith assault. It appears freight train ; oing north on the Albion branch of tha U. P. waa compelled to wait some time near the Loup river which meanders gently by the quaint old Indian town of Qonoa. At this place ia a largo school sustained by the United States govern ment and attended by the olfspringa of both aezoa , of the Pawnee braves. The female students of thia institution , unluckily , when the train stopped were bathing in the placid waters of the Loup , and the train men sit down upon the banks to await for tholr appearance upon the shore , | ft ia said ono of the duaky maidens was caught and brutally treated , from which aho swooned and may not recover. Measures are being taken to quiet the matter , and on Thursday S. F. Tappau superintendent of the school was sent for and came down yesterday , it is aaid , to settle the matter without making the ar rests. A Hull For Mr. George Oroighton , of the Bluffs , who at ho says waa enticed to this aide } f the rivdr by inducements held out to liim by officials of the Union Pacific Ex. press company , and then placed in jail jn the charge of being a auspicious char * icier , instituted suit ID the circuit court it Council Bluffs yesterday , to recover the sum of $1,600 damages sustained by ila ftlso imprisonment and malicious prosecution.

Noligh , of this city , returned las evening from Denver bringing back wit ! him , on a requisition , Joseph Wyngart the tailor , who it will bo remembered L charged with stealing $700 , from hi wife in this city about two weeks ago. Th following is what a Denver paper of Julj 30 , says about the case which present some interesting features : John A. Dowooso , a lawyer , yosterdaj filed a petition in the superior court , ask ing for the release on a writ of habooi corpus of J. M Wyngart , arrested b ; Dotcctivo Bull , of Fuoblo , for an omboz Moment of $700 in Omaha. The case it brought in the name of the People ox rol. vs. D. J. Cook ot al. Detective J S. Neligh , of Omaha , is hero with the necessary warrant and requisition , nm will arrest Wyngart to-day , lot the judg mcnt of the court bo what it may. The prisoner may bo able to regain his liberty from Dave Cook's men , but it is hardli probable that ho will escape from Dotoo tivo Noligh , who has taken all the necessary sary precautions to arm himself with al the authority that ho needs to claim the prisoner , and who scorns from his argu ment to bo well posted on disposing of writs of this kind. lie claims that the atato court has no juris diction in the matter and that ho wil respectfully decline to produce the body of the prisoner. A very prominent lawyer to-day observed that ho woult like to see the case tostnd and expressed the opinion that Dotoctlvo Noligh a stand was a bravo ono and well taken. Gen. Cook , superintendent of the Rocky Mountain Dotcctivo agency , and Detec tive Noligh spent yesterday in viewing the city and oxohanping "pointers. " Wyngart's examination on the charge of grand larceny will bo hold to-day , when it is expected there will bo some interesting developments. RETIBED , NOT DISBANDED , riio nooks ntul Ladders Conclude to Withdraw from Active Service , The board of trustees of the Pioneer [ look and Ladder company hold a moot ing last evening , presided over by "W. J. Kennedy , its chairman , in 'Fireman's dall. The mooting was largely attended ind a nearly full board was present. \ftcr the object of the mooting waa itatod , that it had convened to discuia the question of the company'ojturning its property ever to the city and going out } f active service , several of these present oxprcaaed their views ipon the matter. It waa finally iooidcd to hand in a communication to the council at its next mooting offering to dispose of its property to the city for $2,000. This property includes the team , cart , harness , pom- _ pier apparatus , etc. It was determined to retire from active service but not dis band , the old members holding thom- jolvos always in readiness to do duty nrhpn requested to by the chief. This ictjoii of the Hooks and Ladders , it is thought , will ccmpol the city to place lovoral moro upon the list of paid kro nen. The Pompier corps however will lot disband but will continue to' run to Ires as of old. "Flro Him Out.

At five o'clock yesterday morning Ih warnln 'notoiof the fito boll rangoullouc and clear upon the morning air and people plo living in the vicinity of the cngin house either arose or turned in bed am listened. The alarm sounded box 42 Thirteenth and Douglas , and only strucl onco. In a few minutes an alarm wo. turned in from box 43 , Tenth atroot engine gino house , and at this these who hac hoard the first alarm and had turnoc ever ) for another snooze , sprang from tholr beds and rushed into tin streets. It-\jas a laughable sight to BOO the res idonta emerge from their various dwell ings. Some WEUK HALF IHES.SEI > and others were oven loss dressed that that , but all were bound in ono dirootior lower Harnoy street. Before the place wan reached groal volumes of black smoke could bo aeon pouring forth from the cupalo of the foui atory building o'n Harnoy street , botwcer Eleventh and Twelfth streets , occupied i > y Leighton & Olarko , wholesale drug- ; ista. The ontirofiro department was soon upon the ground but the interior oftho HUII.DINO WAH DOOMED at the time of turning in the first alarm. The fourth story was filled with flamoa and smoke before a steam of water could bo gotten into it. ' \7hon the hoao was laid and the water turned on , the flames had broken through .ho cupalo and other portions of thereof roof and were leaping high in the air aa f defying the power of the firemen or the water which they endeavored'to throw nto the building. At the front of the building a long adder was put up to the fourth atory window and Officer Ituano seized the notelo of the hose and hastily mounted to , ho top. The thick smoke rolled forth from the -windowd as if to stay him in hia course and drive him back Tthonco ho samo. This , however , had no effect upon lira , and ho MANFDLLY STOOD AT HIS TOST until the water was turned on and ho was able to turn into the building a well directed and effective stream. In the roar of the building two streams voro being thrown up against and into ho building , but the men who hold the nozzles were upon the ground and it was a hard task to otand upon the ground and throw water with any certainty into a small window foir ; stories abovo. In consoquouco of this inconvenience much of the water waa thrown against the brick wall , with no other effect than to plash back into the fasca and eyes of the iromon and that of the crowd gathered near and ran away down the alloy , wasted. A hose was carried up.- through Ilor's iquor Btora.onto.tho roof and the stream was thrown upon tbo'roof of the burning building , but WITHOUT A TELUNO EFFECT. Soon the boys got tholr bearings right and landed water into the fourth story window in good shape. This , with the troam from the front was beginning to ell and the flames began to succumb. It was now thought that the fire was under control and the firemen and spec- ators breothdd moro caey , when ono of hose unavoidable accidents occurred. The hose which was doing such good work from the rear SUDDENLY BUBST nd the water flow ever against the walls f the building on the opposite eido of ha alloy. The order waa given to shut ho water off at the hydrant but not a wrench could bo found , and for fully five minutes men were running hither and 'on looking for a wrench , while some of the excitable ones were vainly on- savoring to unscrew the hoao frcm the lydrant , During all Una delay the FIKK WAH OAIKINO HEADWAY , nd by the tlmo another stream replaced ho ono shut off , all that had boon gained > y the firemen was lost and the odds voro turned the other way. The flames md worked farther forward in the milding and were rapidly approaching ho front. The teams and carta were aont flying or moro hose and several trips were made hi various directions until all the ivailablo hose in tbo city was in uao. The look and ladder boys , with ladders upon heir shoulders , ran around into the alloy nd soon had a narrow stairway upon to ho top of llcr'fl building. Up this a line f hoao was dragged and in a few mo menta a second stream wan playing from ao top of llcr'a building on to the burn- ug block , The flamca worked rapidly to the front nd leaped from the windows into the VKUY FACES OF TUB FIBEMEy , who received the order to come down which they did. As the fiery , and forked tongues leaped out of the windows they cached around on all sides as if in search f something to dovour. They darted upward and with their ravenous jaws , appod around the heavy galvanized iron ornico , which gave away like paper and netted and dropped upon the sidewalk iclow. In a few moments after the flamoa > roko through the front windows TUB HOOF FULL llf , nd following this came the sharp report f exploding chemicals , like the reports t pistols. As the chemicals began to explode the rowd of spectators began to draw back as if expecting a larger and moro serious xploaion , but it did not come for it v M now evident that the fire men had the FLAMES UNllKK CONTROL nd it would bo but a matter of a few moments before nothing but blackened nd charred ruins would bo soon. This troved true , The fury of the fieroo lames waa spent The demon had been battled and , after a soveroetrugglo beaten , and all that remained waa to wet down tuoh places a might help to ciuso it t < break put nnow , During the progress of the fire thi smoke had worked into llcr'a liquor stori and waa issuing from the windows anc doors and it was thought for a tlmo tha the flames had found their way in amonj the liquors. This thought waa followei by the recollection of the burning o Ifer'a liquor atoro some tlmo ainco anc caused no little worry among these whc are interested in the city's welfare Luckily the smoke waa all that found iti way into the store of Mr. Her and did nc particular damage. After the flames were subdued thoqucs tlon naturaly waa WHEItn DID THE FIRE ORIGINATE ? but to this there was no answer. Nobod ] seemed to know. Those who claimed U have soon it first , say that it started in the basement and ran up the elevator abaft into the fourth atory and thence to the cupalo , where the flamci first made their appearance. The next question aakod waa : "HOW DID IT ORIGINATE ? " but to this question the same answer wat given aa to the former and no ono wat found who could satisfactorily answer it , It certainly was a mysterious fire and many claim it was caused by spontaneous combustion , but whether this is so or no ) is not known.

A MONUMENT : A Monument to uo Erected to the Memory of tbo Iiato Bishop - " _ J Clarkson. The following circular has been sent out by the council of the Episcopal church Which explains itself : s. BARNABAS' RECTORY , OMAHA , Nob. , July 23,1884. Rev , and Dear Brother : By resolution of the late annual coun cil , a committee , consisting of the Rec- tora and Senior Wardens of the Omaha parishes , waa appointed to take into con sideration the matter of erecting a fitting monument to the memory of our lute honored and well beloved diocesan. The committee has placed upon me the duty of communicating with the clergy , ves tries , and congregations of the diocese , upon tha subject. Subject , of course-to any necessary modification , our plan is this : To erect a monument similar in every respect to those sot ever the last resting places of Koblo and DoKoven. The coat will bo about $1,000. It is thought desir able that no ono without the dlocoso should bo aaked to contribute to the fund for thia object , unices the clergy and people of Dakota should deslro , of their own accord , to unite with us in render ing this loving tribute of grateful memory to their father and ours. It ia especially moot and fitting for us while wo are look ing hopefully forward to welcome him whom God shall choose and act ever ua , that wo should look lovingly backward to the memory of him who loved us , but whom God took from our heads. To preserve his memory in en during atone , ao that the coming gener ations may road , and emulate hia holy lifo is , or should bo , the grateful duty of the present. Bo kind enough to com municate with your vestry and congre gation , and return mo answer as to what you can do * toward this object. JOHN WILLIAMS , Chairman. POWDER Absolutely Pure.
