He said that he knew Hulile we'll. Ilu claims to have lived in Kansas Cily from Apiil , 1885 , until hu came to Oimiha in .May of this year. His story is thai hu met Kuhle and made Ins aoipiainlaiioo. They were together a jrooddeal , drinking and taking in the town Ilu stopped at the City hotel , where Ktililo paid tor his board. He did not know anything about lliu murder of Klutle , ho claims , untii u week after It happened. He left Omaha on the ovoniiifr ot May 1 1 in company with a brewer named l-ritv. Miller.

If Bicri can prove that lie left Omaiia on the evening of May 1 1 , four days be fore tlm murder of Kulile was commuted , the c.iso against him will doubtless be dropped , but oven his own testimony on this point is not entirely clear.

Another fact to which considerable im portance has been attached is that the watch found on Kuhle's person the morning after the murder has been iden tified as Hie property of Hiori. He says that ho pawned the watch to lluhlu for four dollars. Fritz Wirth , proprietor of the City hotel , feels stire that the right man has been found in itieri , and says he has numerous witnesses who will swear that 13ieri and Kuhle were in the city on Tues day evening , May 18 , the night of the murder , drinking togelhor at the differ- out .saloons in the city. Chris Worth , who was working at tlio California house at the time , will swear that Bicri and Knlilo were in that hotel on the dav that Kuhlo loft Omaha ; and that IIIEHI SOU ) HIS UI.KEVIMU'TTONS ' , and a cigar-holder to John I' rank , pro prietor of the hotel , for $3 , and remarked tit the time that when that money wa.s pone ho would have "to do something else to got money.

Bieri , later in the alternoon , had recov ered from the excitement that was noticed when ho was first arrested and is conti- lout that ho oan prove an alibi. He in sists that ho left Omaha on Thursday of the week before tlio murder and coni- moneod working for Thaiken , boss of the H'ution , on the Saturday before Kuhlo was killed.

When Uiori was arrcitctl he had a small , heavy gripsack , wliioli was taken in charge byVirth and carried to Iho oily jail.

The grip Was opened and its contents revealed In the .shape of a btono jug filled with au in ferior quality of tangle-foot. The arrest has cuialcd considerable ex- mont and all the clues that point to Hiori and his partner.

The books in tlio paymaster's ollleo of tlio Union Pa- Oillo show that Hold worked on the sec tion al Klkhorn for thirteen days in May. This would require him lo have boon at work on J.ho day the murder was com mitted in this city.

These alHdavits wore tiled with Clerk Finnk , of Iho United Slates court. The first is from Charles 0.

The intensity with which the difleront roads running lo Iho coast have been looking for the Grand Army business was well illustrated on Sunday last when tlio New England excursionists were passing through the Hliill's. There wore not less than twenty railroad representatives from all parts c f the country about the depot. Some ot them had come with the excur sionists , and endeavored on the way to in duce them lo patronize the roads for which thov are wjrking on their return trip. When , however , the depot was reached , this work was discontinued , because the Union Paeilie set out a number of men to watch the rival agents and prevent them from soliciting business. This was done under the authority of a local ordinance which prohibits a rival agent from in truding upon depot grounds. One of the ronrcsentalives was C. B. Kinnan. Ilo is the general agent ot tlio passenger' department of the Nolliorn Pacific , and was several limes seen to spcalc to Grand Army of the He- public men , when ho was promptly noti- lied of the fact that if ho dnt not desist , ho would be requested to leave the depot. Kinnan's excuse was , however , that he was not soliciting business , neveithcless , lie avoided some annoyance by refraining from talking lo thn veterans. The other roads are somewhat annoyed Ihat the Union Pacific got the lion's share of the business in question , and tlio Union Paeilio is not a litllo nettled that the Northern Paeilio will have the greater part of the rulurn business. Hall Notes. An accident occurred about one and a half miles east of [ Papillion at 0 o'clock yestcrpay mor ning , which [ resulted in a .freight train being pretty badly wrecked. Train No. ' 33 , while going down an incline , broke in two. Several of the front cars of the second section wore provided with air biakes and stopped suddenly. The rear cars were not so provided and piled in upon the front cars , smashing the drawhoads of about a seoro of cars. The wreck has been cleared away. Mr. M. Timmons , a Chicago nmn , lias boon appointed advertising clerk in the general passenger ollico of the Union Pacific. Mr. and Mrs. S. U. Jones leave for San Francisco to-day. J. IS.

" This expression came from [ a prom inent mclnbel1 of Ihe Icily council yesterday morning as he was diseu sing with a reporter for the BI.K the resignation of Ihe chief of Oma ha's fire department. The gentleman re ferred to had nothing more to say auout this maltor , but , upon further questioning clo ed no lighler.llilin a clam. The re- poiler , however , having tills as a "point er. " went to work and secured the faots ot a sensation which has just been developed by the resignation of Chief Butler. It is nothing less than that olli- cial has , in all probability , appiopriated lo his own use Iho funds of Iho city. About two yeans ago. on the 25th day of March , when Chase was mayor , au ordinance was passed , creating n board of inspection for the issuance of permits lor buildings. This ordinance made tlio firu marshal the head uf the board. After going cm to deli no his duties , It gave a scale of fees to be charged as tollows : On all buildings costing over 3-00 and not c.xceedliiK S" > 10. . - > : > . On all Imllcllims costing over SXK ) and not OXCCl'dlllKSll > Jl ) , SU- On all milldlmts costing over 51,000and not e\eeedlnu',0 } ! 0 , ? 4. On all over $ . ' ,100 , 5.1. The ordinance then prescribed : The fees realized fioni such permits herein luitlioii/.cil shall bo licld by tliechlet engineer ot the liuiduiinitinunt , subject to the order and disposal of the city council and said chlcl engineer shall keen a cnictul and ao- cmatcrcuotdol all tecs and of the disposal of sail ! lees. This makes the chief of the department directly responsible fortho collection and turning-over ot the fees collected under Ihis ordinance. Jn oi < ler to fully investigate this matter - tor , a reporter was directed to determine 1 , whether Butler ever collected any money under this ordinance , and ' . ' , whether ho ever turned the same over to tlio city treasurer. HAD PAID HIM MONEY. A prominent Karnam street architect was lirtt apuroached. He at first de clined to talk , but upon pressing con cluded to declare himself. "The fact is , " ho said. "I am a friend uf Butler's , and 1 don't care to get myself into this scrape. But there is no doubt that he has been collecting money under this ordinance. " "You have paid him money ? " "Yes. " "When ? " "At different times during the past two years , up to the time when Wnitlock was -appointed building inspector. " "In what amounts did you pay him ? " "Geneially , about § 5 at a time. " l'Jo ' .you Know how much you have paid him ? " "i can't say exactly. I remember dif ferent times when I have given him sums that would foot-up to between § 2o and ? 00. " "Did he over say anything to you about what ho did with the money ? " "No , but I saw things which led me to believe that ho was going to got into this trouble. I expected that it would come out long ago. I had a good many rea sons to suppose that all this money lie 'knocked down' instead of turning itoyer to the cily. " Another architect said : "Butler has been keeping a very loose record of the permits winch ho issued if , indeed , it could be called a record at all. I know of different clients of mine who have paid him money. I never paid him the fees myself , for I don't consider that any of my business , lie must have made iv regular practice of collecting these foes , because he would frequently come to mo and growl because &omo of my customers had failed to pay him for the permits they had obtained. " IJUC'K KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT. Treasurer Buck was next approached and questioned as to whether Butler had over turned in any of those fees to him. He said that the chief had not. "Further more , " ho wont on to say. " 1 never oven know that Butler had any power to col lect such fees. Ho never said anything to me about it. I am certain that he never turned over any such fees to mo , because 1 have examined our accounts of Iho general fund , Iho lire fund , and the bnecial cash fund , and I find no entries of any Mich monevs turned over lo me bv him. I am therefore positive that if ho has collected those fees that ho has never turned them over. " "Of course you know uolhinjr as lo whether ho has collected these building permit fees ? " "No , sir , I do not. I never had any oc casion to inrostigalo the mailer , " Till : ACTION Ol' TIIK COUNCIL. It will thus be seen that all evidence so far obtained warrants tlio belief that But ler has certainly collected these fees , anil almost as certainly has pocketed thorn. Inasmuch as a very scanty record of the ollico business of Butler , as building inspector specter , has been kept , Iho amount of such moneys collected will probably never bo known "Tlio council will probably accoptBut- Jpr's ' resignation , " said a member of tlio lira and waterworks committee yesterday "but before they do so , they ought to in vestigate these charges fully , I am satis fied thai he has pocketed hundrcdsof del lars during the last few years.

New York World : The scientific world has been ( .peculating over earthquake ami other ruinous results during thu long series of centuries since Kubiea , tlio lar gest island of the llgean ea , made its lirst bow to geological circles .nfter violent lent upheaval about four centuries before Christ. From that on down to the dis asters at tlio island of Java , in IbSii , and the more recent convulsions in Spain during the cholera season of 1885 , history records a fearful loss of lite from those volcanic lits of thu earth. * The pagan philosophers held the idea that these earthquakes were produced by subter raneous clouds bursting into lightning. which shook the vaults that confined them. Tlio French philosopher , Des cartes , supposed thoroDwere many vast cavities under ground which abound \Mth water , some ofwhich communicate with each other , others with exhalations arisinsr from inllanimable .substances like niter , sulphur , etc. Dr. Priestly , of Kngland , thought earthquakes were caused by electricity. They are now gen erally believed to bo duo to steam gener ated by subterraneous heat. There is no .space to give a detailed list of recorded earthquakes. Many were of small consequence and occasioned but a trilling loss of lite. Below are the most disastrous fatalities from this cause : Destruction of Horculanonm and Pom peii in A , D. 7 ! ) . The loss of life was comparatively small , but the two cities were totally destroycdrby the accompa- nvmg eruption of Vesuvius. In 742 over 500 towns in S.yiia and Pal estine were destroyed , and the loss of life could never bo calculated. In 11J57 15,000 were buried under Iho ruins of Catania , in Sicily. Jn 1158 20,000 perished in Syria. In 1208 00,000 wore destroyed inCilicia. In 1450 40,000 , perished 'in the great earthquake at Naples. Lisbon has been twice visited. In 15131 over CO.OOO were buried in the ruins , while fully 50,000 perished in tlio terrible upheaval of 1755 , when the town was completely engulfed in a few minutes. At the same time 12,000 Moors perished in Morocco. In 10I3 ! , Sicily was nearly wrecked by an earthquake. Fifty-four cities and UOO villages were overturned , and the loss of life readied 100,000. In 170:5 : Yoddo , the capital of Japan , was ruined , and over 200,000 lives were lost. In 1710 , 20,000 , perished in Algiers. In 1754 , Grand Cairo was swallowed up , with 40,000 inhabitants. In 17U7 , 40,000 people wore buried in ono second between Santa Fo and Panama. In 1822 , at Aleppo , 33,000 people were lost. lost.In In 1609 , 25.0CO were destroyed in the upheaval in Kcuador and Peru. In 1881 , the town of Scio and 4,000 in habitants wens destroyed.
