Its object waste to express their senti ments and giro vent to their foolinge with respect to the "raiso" of (10 pot cent , by the city council and the board of county commissioners of the assessed valuation of the real estate of the Firs ! wrd , as returned by Mr. William Doll , its assessor. The mooting was presided over by Charles Brandos , with Mr , 0. Be Nelson as secretary. Mr. 0. Horkott , chairman of the com * miltco to issue legal sorriccs , tnado n report , ami stated many facts lied boon brought to light through an authority usurped by the council. He next rend Judge Lake's opinion to the effect that evidence must bo taken to show that u given district Is relatively low before it could bo legally raised. Mr. Lake then took the floor and amplified his opinion by citing instances and ooinions of courts covering them. Ci'us Kountzo then naked Mr. Lake if after individual complainto had boon ninJo the county commissioners or the city council could then make a wholesale raise of the ward or precinct. Ho was informed that when the separate com plaints had boon disposed of it could bo done. done.Mr. . Rush was next called upon , who said it was their duty to employ counsel to take the case into the courts and aot- tlo this indignity to citizenship. lie then assailed Mr. Bohm for his reasons for raising the ward. Ho then referred to Mr. llodfiold whom called an "in flated arithmetical encyclopedia. " Ho would say to the council "go slow. " It was said the property of Boyd , Kountzo , and Krug had boon assessed too low , but it should bo remembered that such men an those had inado Omaha what it is. Many lota in the First ward were not worth $100 while none could bo bought in the Second for that amount. Ho next referred to the protection the citizens of the First ward were af forded. Not a policeman had over boon BOOH in certain parts of that precinct , un less ho was going to a picnic or ball. Not a building had caught lira without burning to the ground , not leaving a vestige remaining. Mr. Boyd was next called for , yrho said that there were two points upon which an action at law might bo based. First , that evidence should bo adduced to the commissioners and council to show that the ward was relatively low as com pared with the other wards ; second that the raise should bo inado from th assessment rolls returned by the as sessors , and not from the rolls as equal iV.od by the board of county commission era. lie concluded by stating that h would give his proportion toward raising the amount necessary to pay eminoii council to defend their rights to the extent tent of the law. J t was then moved by Mr. Barker an carried that Judge Lake bo employed ai coun&ol to defend the First ward , wh should bo instructed to use the spoodios measure possible to bring about a favor able result. Mr. Boyd again took the floor an animadverted to the city council atatiiif that the wards should BOO to it next tint that honest men are elected to the coun cil. Ho did not moan to say that thor were not honest men in that body bu most of them were too much ior self.

Everything good to cat was provided , and the nfTiir was under the supervision of Mr , Will Storcns. The excursionists were mot at the de pot by the good people of Weeping Water amid btnnors and streamers , and the strains of music by the village band. But the hospitality of the people was the chief delight of the wayfarers. After reaching thn beautiful grove , located on the enchanting - chanting stream from which the town do > rivns its name , the crowd woa seated to hoar the address of welcome by llov. Goo. Hindloy , pastor of the Congrega tional church of that place. This address deserve * special mention , as it literally sparkled with wit at every period , and was fraught with an abundance of good will and welcome. Hovs. .1. W. Stewart and .1. B.

A second shower wa j mted just before the fall of Iho building but not accompanied by the wind or electrical phenomena which marked tlio first. The streets were still running with water and the night as "dark as a stack of black catst" The little crowd which gathered at the spot included few except the fire' men , reporters and sportingmon and , M the rain again increased to a torrent , the excitement and difficulty of releasing the parties from the building were in creased. In fact the collapse of the north , south and east walls seemed im minent and the bravest were not anxious to risk their lives amonga heap of ruins lighted only by the fierce glare of the lightning , and looking more ghastly than the work of the fire fiend. The escape of the inmates seven in all , was effected under the most hazard ous circumstances and in ono or two in stances death wan avoided almost mirac ulously. Harry McOoo , the watchman was in hin room in the third story , east side and ho rode down victoriously , in the midst of his household effects , clear to the collar , where ho was wedged in be tween the joist of his coiling and a bed of brick , two or three foot deep. Ho called out that ho was not hurt and his rescuers soon got him out of his unpleas ant dilemma. Ho says ho could feel himself going down but kept up his pres ence of mind through it all. Another close call was that of a French man named Johnson , who occupied the room next to McGco , on the same floor. Ho was in bed but his lamp was burning on a table in the corner of the room , throe walls of which were carried out'and the floor loft hanging at an angle of 40 degrees. Johnson was pitched headlong from his bed and saved his life by catch ing on to the window sill below the second story , from which ho was rescued after clinging to the sill for half an hour with nothing to shield him from the in clemency of the weather except a [ night shirt and drawers. In this room wcro half a dozen largo and jhoavy ] trunks ono of which was hurled to the ground , while the lamp on the table was not overturned and burned through the rain and wind until 0:30 : a. m. Captain Kent , who roomed in the third story was awakened by a terrible crash , and , thinking the lightning had struck the house , ran to his door. On opening it ho saw a yawning abyss at the threshold , filled with the debris of the rest of the house , and it is his opinion now that the West wall had settled since the previous rain by reason of the overflow of the cistern in the rear of the building. The history of the building as told by a gentleman familiar with it , scorns to furnish the true theory in regard to its downfall. It was erected in 18GO by Fox Brothers , Mr. Lewis Shields being the contractor. The bricks used wore purchased cheap from a lot of condemned brick , and it is said that scarcely ono was sound , and that the house was looked on as unsafe from the first. It was subsequently sold to Messrs. Giso and Paddock and the senator became solo possessor some years later. In 1872 the east wall and front were torn down and rebuilt , and when Stubbondorf it Co. moved into the lower room 20 heavy braces were put in the basement to support the first floor. Previous to this the storeroom was used as a variety thdatro , the collar as a beer hall and iho upper rooms as a gambling room , but of late the second and third stories were rented as lodgin rooms. The building was 22x80 feet ii size. size.Mr. Mr. Stubbendoif says , and ho is cor1 roborated by Capt. Kent , that at times o high wind the building would rock to an fro frightfully. The oscillations grow vrorao from tinio to time , and on one oc casion stopped a largo clock on the firs floor by striking the pendulum ogainsUh glass. In the fourth story a coat swing ing to and fro from a , peg , measured ai : arc of 14 inches. Several times roomon vacated the promises after a storm. Th high wind at 1:30 : last night wa from the southwest , and probably rocked the house until it wrenched it n two and it elowly broke apart and th west half sunk to the ground. The seen bcioro daylight was weird and ghastly , The lightning shining through the opei windows upon the skeleton of the walls the sectional view of the room in whicl : the lamp burned with a steady glow , th muttering thunder and the knot of spec tators shivering in the rain , looked lik a stage sot for the tragedy and only awaiting the advent of "tho heavy vil Iain. " The grocery store of Loitch it Co. was b.ully wrecked and the loss will bo con jidorablo. The building is a total wreck md was \rorth perhaps § 0,000. Much o : ' the furniture and clothing up stairs wil bo saved. It was reported thin morning that th ; rocor's clerk was in the ruins but ho , urned np all right about 8 o'clock , and .horefore , no ono was either killed or vouiulod. U. 1' . Hand 10\uurHion.
