A MiHtnkc Costs Ailille Hcinliart Her ijlfe. Lying on a cooling board In the cor oner's oilico yesterday morning was the bodvof u yoimggirl Addle Heinliart. She was the victim of the old trick of blow- inir out the gas. The girl for two weeks past had been employed as a domestic at the lum. so ot F. Alder , S00 ! ! ) Dodge street. Wednesday night she retired to bed early , about 8 o'clock , saying that she was tired , and wanted a good night's rest. At 7 o'clock yehterday mormng.when Mrs.'Adler arose nothing was to bo seen of the girl. Sus pecting that something was wrong , Mrs. Adler went to her room _ to call her. doing in , she found the girl stretched lifeless on the bed , the room tilled with gas , and the jet turned completely on. Jt was evident in a moment that the girl on retiring Wednesday night had blown out the gas. Medical aid was called in at once , Mrs. Dr. ] Jurroughs and Dr. Denise respond ing. IJoth worked for an hour hoping to revive pome faint spark of life which might have been left. The body was fetill warm , anil this gave encouragement of a favorable result , which , however , did not come. The girl gave no feigns of return ing consciousness , and as Dr. Dcnisc said yesterday morning , was practically dead when she was found. Miss Heinliart was a remarkably pretty cirl , of about twenty years of age. She has no relatives in this eity.oxeept a mar ried sister living at Ninth and Hicuory streets.

Armstrong , superintendent of the new Nebraska institute for feeble minded youth , was.in town yesterday and was met by a reporter for the BEE at the Milliard. This institution has not yet been opened although it is ready for oo- cnpancy , and it Is not expected that it will be thrown open to receive children until sometime next year. It i s a brick structure , 03x110 feet with several .addi tions. Its capacity will be in the neigh- liorhood of fifty children of whom appli cations have now been received from about forty-live. The cost of the build ing has been borne bv an appropria tion for $ : > ( ) , OOO , mftdo at tlio last session of the legislature , and of this , about two thousand dollars remain. The .support of ilio institution is proviiled for by a levy of one-eighth mill , which has put into the state treasury , subject to the routine method of receiving it , about sixteen thousand dollars. The aim of the institute is to enable the feeble-minded to bo more able to care for themselves and l > e less a burden to their friends. For this reason they will bo variously em ployed about the place in little acts adapted to both their mental and physi cal condition. They will be tanghtealis- thenics and trades when possible , and in other ways improved. It is expected that 100 applications will bu received be fore January. THE KK COUHT. Indictments ly tlio Urani ! Jury Tlio Star JSotitn C'aseH ' , The United States grand jury yesterday returned indictments against Patrick Me- Knlty for breaking open a mail box and against Kunklcs for making counterfeit money. The jury is now considering the cases of the men who are chargcu with Boiling liquor to the Indians. Judge Dttndy is still huarintr * the case of Dodge vs. tl'c I'na-nix Insurance com pany. District Attorney Lnmliertson said yes terday that he will appeal the case of Luke Voorhees who Is charged with fraud on a btar route contract , to the supreme court , lie further says that the case against Colonel Patrick , mention of which was made In yesterday's UKI : , Is to ho ru-coinmenOcd in thu court in this city.

Six cases of intoxication were disposed of by a commitment to the county jail. AN IMI'OUTANT M-JTTKIl. How Col. Ulttnan Was Acquitted of Poi-ccry. The most important case called in po- ice court yesterday morning was that of 'ol. Witman , who.was charged with pass- ng a forged $ M check upon .1. B. Ocnwsr. Mm oll'ense was committed two months igo , while \Vitman was on a protracted | ) ree. The check was signed "P. J. Nichols , " and on the whole Was a bun gling forgery. Witman proved pretty conclusively that he dill not forgo the check , but that it was passed upon him > y some one else. The matter having jecti adjusted to the satisfaction of Cren- /.cv.tho prisoner was therefore discharged. The trial revealed a curious circum stance , connected with an interesting episode in Colonel Witman's life. Some years a.'jo he came out west to break i way t rmu bad companions ami lead a reformed life. An inordinate craving for Honor was his only fault. His friends thought that a change of climate and companions might make a change for the bettor. For a time Colonel Witman lid well , but meeting some of the boys , fell to drinking heavier than ever. When arrested for forging the check ho was , as already stated , on a protracted spree. Ills friends , therefore , thought it bust for him tt > remain in jail for a month or two , in order to allow him to recover from the ull'ects of his debauch. The principal point of evidence in Wit man's favor was a letter written by him lo a friend. This letter was penned by lim when he intended to commit suicide. He thought better of it afterward , and lecided to lemaln a while longer in thu land of the living. The letter reads as follows lows- "U. 1C. Snrainie , As-dstanl Knirlnr , Lin- ruin lirtuicli Missoiui I'aelllc Hallway Dear bprauae : When this luavhus you 1 bhnll be mustered out ami shall no inoie be able to curse the black lias. 1 had honed to join you uualn lull do not Ibid It convenient to wait. \V KM klml lenards to the hoys anil a tinst of rapid promotion Tor you , I am , Yours truly , K.

" The letter was written in a hand so dillerent from that on the forged check , that Judge Stenberg concluded that Wit- man could not have written both and as alre-idy mentioned , discharged him. him.Wilniitti comes of a good family in the east. He served with high honors during tlic war , starting out as a private and leaving the service with the rank of colonel. _ IS IT BLACKMAIL ? A. I ) . .Tones SnyH that tlio Cane in Court Atininst Htm Is for Money. In view of tlio petition recently filed in the district court , setting forth forgery and a fraudulent assignment on the part of A. D. Jones , as the means by which ho came into possession of a large amount of the land now owned by him in this eitv , a reporter for the BKI- : asked the gentleman mcntioncU if he had read thu document. " 1 have not read it , " said Mr. Jones. "Have you read the synopsis of it printed in'the papers1 ? "Yes , 1 have. " "What have you to say about it ? " "I don't wish to say anything about it all , tit least for the present. It's all a. scheme to blackmail. " "Do yon know ot such a man as Rob inson , the party who sues yon ? " "Oh , yes ; I had such an acquaintance in my early years. 15ut 1 have not seen or heard of him since. " It has been intimated from other sources , that the charge of blackmail is capable of boinir sustained , and it is felt that some Mr. Jones' intimate friends arc be hind the move. It is also stated that an od'er has already been made to Mr. Jones to withdraw thu petition for a cer tain amount of money , and not a very large amount cither. But Mr. Jones has refused. He proposes to light it out , and claims to bo well provided with facts to enable him to do so. So contideiu of the fact is he that In proposes , when the cass comes to trial , to move that all the co-defendants be excused and he be made solely' liable for the charges. JAILID , YUT INNOCKNT. The Ilonl Culprit in Safety and Stricken with Sympathy. On the 21st of July , 1895 , Leone Perro , an Italian of this city , was arrested , charged with shooting with intent to kill. Ho was indicted , tried , found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment in the peni tentiary for eight years. More than one year has already elapsed , and now comes the real perpetrator of the deed , with a letter from Ids present whereabouts , ad mitting his own guilt , the innocence of Perro , and charging his conviction to the nuskillfulness of the Italian interpre ter who was used in the case when it was on trial. The name and whereabouts of the real culprit are withheld for various reasons. Jn his loiter , received a few days ago , he oilers to give , if nec essary , --00 to help Purro to secure his delivery from thu jail. As soon as Judge Neville recovers from his illness , ho will be sought to attach his name to a petition asking for Perro's release. Army Gossip. Colonel Terrell , who has just returned from a visit to Forts haranuo , Niobrara and lloblnson , reports that absolute quiet prevails in western army circles. Some of the olllccrs of the Second infantry art a trifle nervous about the changes which are now being made. They fear that the accommodations at Fort Omaha when thu ten companies of the Second infantry are brought hero will bo much too limited. Otherwise they are pleased witii the change which Is to bo brought about. Speaking on this very matter , an nrmy ollicer remarked to a reporter that he thought the war department ought to ex pemrfrom ? 00,000 to $100.000 on the posl at this point , in order to place itmpropet condition. "The quarters both for the soldiers and olllcers are cramped , to say nothing of being wofully out of repair , ho said. Caught on the Fly. Yesterday morning a Sixteenth street grocer named Schmidt rushed down tojthi Union Pacific depot with a lierv flashing eye and circled among the crowd unti ! he found the person hi ) wanted , a inai named Clark , who , with his wife am familywas about lo "leave the country. ' The grocer charged him with Attempting to beat him out of a bill for groceries This Clark denied , stoutly assert ing that it was Ins intcnUor to pay for the same. The latter , how over. wn threatened with arrest , am liually made up his mind to settle hi bill , which ho did in an cmbarrasslu < manner in the ptcscnco of many visitors Sundny School Studios. Rev.

Mollatt , who died at St. Joseph's hospital Wednesday was held yesterday after noon tit 2:30 : o'clock at the rooms of Coroner Drexal. The jury impanelled niul sworn are as follows : John Hyler , John Butler , George Medloek , Arthur Briggs , S. Burgess and Henry Hart. The remains were viewed under the di rection of Dr. Hanchett , showing two largo cuts on the head , together with large abrasions of the skin on the limbs where ho had been tied with a cord by the police. A committee of Knights of Pythias were present. District Attorney tiled Slmcral cjn- ducted the examination for the state. Dr. Hanchett was the lirsl witness. Ho testified to having been called and found deceased in Mr. Thieman's house on South Seventeenth street sutlbring from erysipelas and high fever. He called on him twice dally. The patient never seemed delirious. His illness tlatcd u week back of the time the witness had taken charge of him. He was about in the most dangerous period of tvphoid fever when witness was called and delirium was mostly always present at that time. The doctor then detailed the circumstances of the removal from the house by the police in the patrol wagon. The next morning thu witness saw MolVat in thn police sta tion , lying on the lloor with his logs tied. Moiluf was conscious , recogni/ed thu tloetor , and said : "It's all over , doctor , they've brought mo to tlio jail and it's too late. " Witness found the jiill .clo.M ) and _ cold and requested thu jailor to ventilate it and build a fire. The legs were bound with a rag , The hands were not tied. Wounds on the head were bleeding , and had not been washed , Dr. Leisenriug had seen Moll'at before witness had called to the jail. The ex posure , exertion and wounds received , added to the condition in which he was , tended to produce Mortal's death. Mrs. Moll'att was the next witness. She was in tears and claimed she could not be reconciled when she knew her hus band had been murdered. Her husband generally became de lirious about 8 in the evening. She called Thieman to assist her , but while the latter was present Molliitl could not control himself. Witness went away in fright and when she returned , found her husband cut on the head and bleeding on the head. The wound , her husband said , had been caused by Mr. Thieman's breaking over his head a largo bowl which was in the chamber. The police were called ami witness protested.agninht her husband beinir taken from the house. She was then compelled to retire and in the morning she heard a wagon drive up , and her husband was taucn away. When Thieman returned , he told witness that Moll'alt had been taken to the jail , although when taking him away , lie said he was tak ing him to the hospital. Witness described the location of the wounds upon her husband's head as in the same place as those viewed by the jury. Airs. Thieman took Mortal's nijrht clothes and washed them to remove the blood which llowcd on them from his wounds. Mr. K. A. Allen , who had nursed Mof- fat , said that the hitler was recovering from his fever and Ihoiight he was going lo get well. Wilson said that he thought kindness would have made iMortat quiet and that no person stood in danger of an attack from him if they treated him as the witness - * ness did. When seen by witness , Mof- fat had been cut on the head and his car was full of blood. Ollicer Ftihoy said they removed Moflatt in Dalton's coal wagon. He tied Aloll'alt's feet and hands. He thought ho was doing his duty because he thought Iho man was crazy. Mollatt knocked 1-Vney down , cut his neck and threw him against the stove. Witness sent a mes senger after a doctor , but the latter did not come. If Mrs. Thieman had not held Ihe lamp the house would have been burncil. Witness remained witli Mollatt and gave him medicine every hour ; took out nis club and revolver to frighten Moll'att , but ncillier had Ihe desired cH'ccl. Witness carried Mort'att lo jail because of Thieman's order so lo do. Ho look all Ihe bed clothes he could IIml it the house and put them undcraud over him in the wagon and then laid him beside the stove in the jail. Dr. Leisenriug called about 9JO ; ! o'clock. There was a good warm lire in the stove. Dr. Leibcnring untied MoH'attV hands , and witness his feet , about Ihree hours afler ho was lakou to jail. Chas. AThieinann Ho was called by Mrs. Mort'att to sec her husband , and had just got into the hitter's room when Mof- fall snouted out to the witness to leave the room or he would kill him as sure as lie was a live man and had his life insured in Iho Accidental Insurance company. Thiemann detailed tlio manner in which Mollatt beat and bruized himself , his wife anil tlio policeman. The injuries received by MofTatt. witness thought were sus tained while the deceased was wresUing with the policeman. Witness did not see the latter use his club. He did not think he could have sent such a patient lo the hospital. The jail was warm , and ho was so wrapped up thai Ihero was a danger of MollaU's being too hot rather lhan too cold , Harvey Wells , swore lhat ho called on Mollhlf at the hospital , but lhat he was nol tied. Mollatt did nol speak of his injuries. He had been clothed in two comforts and hvo blankcls. The jury then adjourned until 9 o'clock to-day. IJUlliUINOS AM ) OUDINAXCIZS. How the Former nro to bo Secured at thu 13.\i > iMiso uf the Latter. At the last meeting of the council lite mailer of amending Iho ordinances re- luting to the duly of the building Inspec tor was considered. Some changes were ofl'ectcd , bul Ihoy cannot now be had be cause of being In thu hands of the city clerk for enrollment. The nature of Ihe change as outlined , however , is the crea tion of a board of advisors , to act with the building inspector in all cases where great responsibility is assumed or a rad ical dillercnce of opinion is likely to arise. This chance has been suggested by a little conflict , which was lately occa sioned by tl'.e opposition of the building inspector to place more than one story more upon the three-story Ilullinnn build ing. The lifth story , however , was put on , despite the inspector's protest , by the consent of the ciiy council , in violation of Iho ordinances which they had them- feclvcs passed , It is claimed that since this consent was given by Ihe council , a trio of nrchi- tcctsliave examined the building ami pro * nounced it capable of sustaining the in creased weight. As nearly as can now bo under teed , from the explanation of one of the council , another duty of the advisory board will bo lo use discretion in golting around some of the building ordinances when they are found to be a little too btringcnt. Judge Nevillu'n Mines * . Judge Neville has boon absent from his court for several days back owing to ill ness which confines him to his bed. Sev eral days ago , in stoopinir to pick up a piece of glass , Iho judge strained his back. A few days later , in town , ho had the misfortune to again strain it.anil this fae-t will render if impossible .for him to attend to court business before Mon day.

Kntlug , Drinking and AVIckndncs.s in thn Great Knulisli Capital. London Loiter : Homo has not yo many Roman Catholics as London ; Dublin has fewer Irishmen than London ; Edinburg less Scotchmen ; and Jewsl why , all Judca has not one-tenth as many , ami it grows every day. Every four minutes makes a birlh even while I spend two hours in wriliug this thirty babes will have been born and twenty'deaths will have taken place. You think of it ; the evening paper that rec ords the birlhs and the dcalhs of the preceding four and twenty hours must give 300 .separate items. Verily , its jo.ys and sorrows are a multi tude. Its streets. It is 3.100 miles jour ney from New York to San Francisco. You can walk , say twenty miles a day ; a hundred days , ' ,000 , miles. Well , it would lake you J7r > days at that rate to make the trip. But London has 7,000 miles of slrcels , and if yon took them for a morn ing walk at Iho rale ot twenty miles a day , you would have lo walk almost a year and more than a year by nearly lifty days if you should lay up Sundays. Anil if you were a thirsty sort of traveler and couldn't pass a drinking shop don't be alarmed the 7,000 miles has live and seventy miles of drinking shops publics they call them. So yon need nol Ihink of thirst. How do these people live ? as you do , by eating. They eat a lot. I can't go into figures , but you can take your slales and ligure up how much Ihey eat every day , lor in a year Iheso London folks swallow down .100,000 oxen , L',000.000 Bheep , 400,000 calves , 300.000swine , 8,030- 000 head of fowls , 500,000,000 pounds of lish , 1500,000,000 pounds of orstors , ! 200,0l ( ) lobsters is that enough lo ligure on ? if not , there are .somemillion tonsof canned goods ; no end of fruit and other stnll' , but not to spoil your appetite talking of beans and peas , ami .10,000,000 bushels of wheat , we might as well forbear. But how do they wash all this hliiU'ilown , you might feel glad to know. Look sharp. It takes 200,000,000 quarts of _ beer ! A htroam of beer about tlio M/o of the Wapsio would not sufl'ico to quench the common thirsr. But more lhan this , they drink 10,000,000 quarts of rum and .10.000- 01)0 ) quarts of wmii the wine , the rum , the beer 200,000.000quarts ! Any water ? Some , for sprinkling streets , about 150- 000,000 of gallons daily. Taking out the water used for sprinkling , cooking and fountains , and Iho actual drinking sun- ply is desperately small. But it's English , yon know , and there is no use saying a word. Any lempcraiicu people ? "ies , plenty of them , but it only uccmcd to make moru drinking for those that urn not. The supply is about . < > o largo ami has to bu consumed. True , the govern ment says Ihere is a sad falling oil'of late in spirit revenues ; hut it is dillicull to .see whcVo. You &ou moro drunkenness in an hour in London than on the enliru continent of Europe all Asia thrown in , and Africa , too in a year. But London is a great city and very thlsty. You go to Liverpool or ' ( ila'sgow : go to lovely Edinhurg , or up to Hull , or Keeds , or Manchester , or Inver ness , and it is just as bud deep drunken ness and deeper , damning sins than drunkenness , rampnuu In thu streets.
