Peculiar Oircumstancea Connected "With the Fire In Linderholm's ' Store , A WARM SCHOOLBOARD MEETING 'M SliortnRO A. Pockctlinolc Wlioso Child It Is Sluujjcd nnd Holiliuil General Liocnl News. Wlio AVns tlio lucendlnry 1 From the many rumors Unit were current - rent yesterday , facts were developed llmt show without n doubt Unit the Liiulur- helm lire on Tenth street on Sunday night was thu work of nn incondinry , nnil will probably lend a clue to p-irtics who nro intoreateil in working up the case. Prob ably the llrst man to see the lire wns ( Jus Nelson , n yontiK mm ! employed in Nel- Kon's store ndjoinin Linderhoim's pliico. Ho saw thorellectionof thubliizc through the window nnd ran down to the store to see what wns the nmttui. Ilo looked into the window and saw a man crawling around on the lloor. The bitHdim ; wns then iilled with smoke , and ho cotilil not got a good look nt tlio num. As ho was ga/.mg through window two colored fellows suddenly came upon him , apparently out of the alloy. Ono of thorn ] asked him What ho was doing thorp , then struck him in the faut ! , knocking him down and cutting ids lip and check in an ugly manner. When Nelson staggered to his foot his assailnnts had lied. He is confident that the man he saw in the building was kindling Ii re in different parts of the storo. P. Peterson , who keeps a saloon at the corner of Seventh and Pacific streets , wns standing in trent of the Atlantic hotel , just opposite Liiulcrholin's , when the lire broke out. lie rushed across tiio street ami found the frontdoor unlocked. Ho pushed it open nnd went inside. The lire was only burning in ono place at the time , and ho went to look for a bucket with which to carry water to throw upon , the blnzo. As ho returned from the rear of the1 store an explosion - plosion occurred that threw him upon the lloor and robbed him of his senses for a few seconds. When ho recovered tlio store was all abhuo , the llnmes having apparently boon spread by the explosion. Peterson also saw a man in the building when ho entered it. The identity of the man who was seen in the store is a puz/.ler to all concerned. Mr. Llndcrholm was m the store in tlio afternoon , and ono of his clerks , Mr. Lnndon , stopped into the place a few minutes before 8 o'clock and found ev- ovcrythiiiE all right , The other clerks of the establishment wore not in the btoro in the afternoon or evening. Tlio loss on the stock was covered by insurance as follows : Connecticut Fire , ! ? 3,000 , ; London Assurance corporation , $2,000 on stock , sf.jGO on li.xturos ; Nebraska and Iowa. $1,500 on stock and ) flOCO on fix tures ; Sun of San Francisco , $2,000 on stock ; Homo Fire of Omaha , $1,000 on stock ; Hamburg , Bremen , § 1,000 on stock ; Scottish Union and National , if 3,000 on stock ; Lion of London , § 2,500 ; Western Homo of Sioux City , il,000. Total , 7,500 on stock and $1,000 fixtures. The Lion also has $1,000 on building. Yesterday afternoon the local repre sentatives of the insurance companies interested in tlio fire , commenced an in vestigation of tlio facts connected with tlio same , and ascertained from Mr. Lin- dcrholm some of the facts concerning the value of the property. Ono of these was the value of fixtures of the store , f9r which , under oath , ho testified ho paid $200 to Wiig & Wcstberg , while- the in surance carried upon it was $1.500. It is not thought that the investigation will bo carried very far , because the representa tives ot the companies think to adjust the loss will not require more than one-third of the policies issued.

B. F. Watts , county treasurer , of Evergreen , Alabama , arrived in the city last night to take charge of W. II. Horrington , who wns arrusiti'd here on Friday by Moyni- linn's detective agency nnd who is wanted In Evergreen to answer to tlio chnreo of forgery and ombex/lomoiit of county funds. Mr. Aalts' story of llerrington's misdemeanors shows that ho is ono of mildest mannered mon that over abused a public trust , llorriugton is a member of tlio llrm of Cooper & llorriiiffton , deal- 'ors In ironoral nu'.rcluindise at Evergreen. Ho was a clerk for the firm of Alansiii & Cooper for a number of years , and upon the death of Maublll several \earsngo was taken into partnership with Cooper. Ho hpld tlio entire confidence of his partner and of the citi/.ons in general bo much so that ho was made private banker for a largo number of the business men of the place. Ilo served ono term as mayor of Kyer- green nnd could have any favor within the gift of his townsmen for the asking. Ilo was ono of the bondsmen ot County Treasurer Walts and kept all the books and moneys of that officer in tlio safe in his store. In June last a rumor that llu ; linn of Cooper & llerringlon was in financial str.uglits was coupled with complaints that certain moneys which had been approptiatcd by tlio county for various purposes hail not boon paid over by tlio tivusmer. Mr. Watts , who on account of enfeebled health , had en trusted the entire business of his oMice to Hcrringtou , went to him and made inquiries concerning the complaints. Horrjngton made excuses from time to time , until the county commissioners finally ordered an examination of the county treasurer's books llerrington nihdu continued excuses for not appear ing betoro the committee appointed to examine the records and on tlio pica of sickness delayed the examination until the first of August , wjicii ho was forced to open his safe and give tiio treasurer's books to the commit tee who examined them and reported him $ li)10 ) short in his accounts. Her rington asked until August 15 to make good the shortage and said ho could raise the money by that time. Tlio members of the commitlco were friends of Herring- ton , nnd , not wishing to sco him punish ed. finally decided . .to give him until August 0 to makrt .VsotClcmcnt. On Au gust 4 Horrington went to Mobile under the pretense ot moHgaWng ins homo to raise the necessary money. This was the last heard of him until the news came of his arrest in Omaha. Hio crooked deal ing with the county funds is not Herring- ton's only crime. Sincu ho loft Evergreen anxious innuiries havctoen made for him by wholesale firms-in Now York , Mobile r.nd Montgomeryiwitu jtvhom his firm did business showing that ho had obtained largo bills of goods , fcoiji thorn under false pretenses. Mr.Coo'p'er.wIio entrusted all of tlio business of the firm to llerrington has discovered that no os thousands of dollars in debt for goods that he sup- noscd Were t paid , -for 'when purchased. The amount whichJllccrington has stolen from his will rcacU.tiibUsaJids of dollars. Horrington is abe charged with having cheated his own father out of several thousand dollars by securing monov on a time lease which Ins father had placed in his trust. llerrington has a wife and three children who have so far been kept in ignorance of the extent of his guilt. Ho was soon at the city jail last night and expressed his willingness to return to Evergreen without a requisition. The mon will probably return homo to-day with their prisoner. AVnnted to Give Away Ills Child. A well-dressed and decidedly intelligent woman arrived in tins city yesterday af ternoon on her way to Loup City. She gave her name as Mary Dowd , said slio resided near Jefferson , Grcono county , Iowa , and was going to the place first mimed to attend a lawsuit in which her brother was interested. So far there was nothing remarkable about Mary's visit to Omaha no more tlmn tlioro is about tt hundred other Marys who como to this goodly metropolis. The fact , however , that she had with her a little four-wook- old boy and wanted to give him away , made this particular Mary rather inter esting. She inquired high or low for a hospital or asylum where she could do- posjt the little one and vainly endeavored to ( ind some individual to take Iho boy. Indeed , it looked as it she would leave the child in tlio wailing room , and the chances nro she will never take it to Loup Cily. On being cioss-oxammed in a reportorial way Mrs. Dowd < snul that the child wan not her own ; that its mother , named Annie McCarthy , c.vno to Jojlbrson , la. , a short time ago witntho child ; she was in the last stages of con sumption and died witliout tolling "to whom minted or by whom begot. In fact the young mother refused to tell any of her antecedents , or the pltico whence she came , Mrs. Dowd had lost an infant child about this time , ami at tlio urgent requestor the dying Annie she took the woo orphan and promised to euro fo1' it. Now she roirrots that she over made that doatli-bed pledge and says thu trouble of travel to Loup Cit.y and oilier reasons necessitates her giving the child away. When asked whether she would call lor it again in naso she loft it here , she rather hesitatingly thought she would. There is ovidumly soni4 mystery about the case and the "othdr. roasons" aforemen tioned when transii/odi ) by investigation may stir up a sensalion'c It looks ns if the child were her ownouul that slio did not wish to roach Loui ) Cit.V with a bnbo iu her arms.

TlllUTr-THUKK YMAU9 OLD. An Old ri-OKrnmmo oi'Knro Historical Interest. The production of "Onkol Tom's Huttc,1' at the onern house on last Sun day night , caused the unearthing of an interesting paper , which has been slumbering - boring among the souvenirs of a gentle man of this city for nearly thirty-three years. As slated In the BrF of last Saturday , "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was lir.st produced on the stage in ( termanv. This produc tion took place in 1853. Mrs. Stowo's novel of that name appeared in ItWO. It went to Germany , was rewritten in the language of that country , by Ihcresn iMogorlo , and from her version .t wasfdrnmnti.ed for thu ( ti-nuan singe. The play wis : a pronounced suc cess and from uermsin y went to Franee , tin ninny . _ of tlio performance * at thu Imperial thea ter in Vienna. The programme used that Higlit cost liulf a kreutxer , and , be cause of tlio novelty of Iho entertain ment , as also tlio excellent man ner in which it wns given , Iho doctor has pro si rid tne programme until yesterday , whoa ho presented it to Mr. BoauroH the stage manager of tlio Gorman company which produced the hamo pieeo at the opera house on Sunday night.

A Pocket hook nnd Tlirco Thousand Dollars MIsHlnj . John I * . Thomas madu a complaint to Marshal Citmmings yesterday evening that led to the arrest of Charles Wilson , n yottni : m .in employed in the Union Pacific cific- shops and A. A. C'owles , an employe in the tame compauv's headquarters. Thomas , it appears , came hero from St. Louis about tun ilavb ago for tlio purpos o of going into business. Ho brought his money in the shape of a cashier's , check on ono of thu b.inks of St. Louis for $ ; l,30l ) . Ho engaged board and room at Mrs. F. L Clarke's , 415 North Fifteenth street and occupied a room with the two gentlemen above named. On Saturday Mr. Thomas made a contract for the pur- 1'hsisn of the store of U illiam Gentleman. Hu started yesterday to msiko a payment upon his purchase , when ho found that his pocketbook containing the check ami iJMin cash was missing. Ho had placed the book and his vest under his pillow on Sunday night and \ylien he wont to got it yesterday morning it was not lobe found. Ho caused the arrest of Wilson and Cowics on suspicion. When arrested Wilson had $17 , while Cowlcs had but $ 3.50. Both of the young mon maintain that they arc innocent ot the l.ircony of their room mate's wealth. They will bo given an examination to-day. "Vacation. " overs of the noisily nonsensical wore highly entertained last evening at the Boyd by the graceful and athletic Dalys in their hilarious eccentricity "Vaca tion. " That tlio largo audience laughed , shrieked and apphiued from beginning to the end of tlio performance goes to .show that it is the right sort to tickle the public pnlato. TKo piece is brimful of oxlmbcr.int uproarousnoss and broad ab surdity , and not a moment dragged. The Dalys as the irrepressible collgo students ready for anything , and the automatical English tigers danced , jumped and tum bled into the favor of the audience , till their every reappearance on tlio btago wastho _ signal for an unusual gigglo. Miss Liz/io Daly , as a Minister of alarming sprightliness contributed largely to the general fauor , and her an tics in the bathing scene caused a palpi tation oven among the frequenters of the front row and made them feel that for once they might get more than they had bargained for. Annie Suits and Lisle Hiddoll , lively Vussar girls , were brisk and capable in their parts , and the rest of the cast were equally acceptable , Harry Dcitz's songs being a pleasant feature. "Vacation" will be repeated this ovcn- An Old Sinn's Serious Fnll. About ( i o'clock last evening an old man named George 15.
