Nnv YOIIK. Fob 28. ISpcclal Tclrcram to
thoUnE.J At 2:25 : o'clock this mornlne tire
broke out on pier 37 , North river , owned by
the Morcan line steamship company nnd used
ns n dlscharRlns plor for freight. The total
loss will bu about 5330,000 to 8100,000. The
lire originated on board the llghtoi Lorcnn ,
which was moored at the extreme end of the
dock , The watchman saw smoKe I'sulnc
from the center of a pllo of cotton on the Lo-
ren.i , and started to clvo the alarm. There
was no ono on the pier at the time , and be
fore the watchman reached the alarm box the
cotton on board the lighter was blazing furi
ously , and dense clouds of smoke were blown
Into the sheds. Uy the time the firemen ar
rived the oler was nbla/c. On the north side
of the pier was the steamer Lone Star , which
collided with the steamer Wells City a few
weeks 111:0. and on the south sldo was the
steamer City of Now York , Hetween the
Stonlncton plor on the south sldo nnd the
Uulon line pier on the north side , there were
moored eight lighters loaded with cotton.
The wind was biowlnc a furious gale In a
northeasterly connection , and as the cotton
on the pier caught lire the smoke tilled thu
Btteets and It was Impossible to see any dis
tance. The blaze was beatlncdown on the
steamer Lone Star , and it was only n few
minutes before she was allrc. A tire patrol
boat made sovcral attempts to got the steamer
out from the lire , but it was low tldo nnd she
was Grounded. ThicoPcnnsjlvanla railroad
companjs tugs helped the patrol , and nt last
the Lone Stai was towed out Into the river
nnd sticamsof wnter were plaxed on lier.
She was towed over to the opposite shore and
left In charge of two tugs. Attcr tlio Lone
Star was tot out ol the way attention
was turned to the hteamer City ot Now Vork
aud sha was towed into midstream without
belne injured. This was at 7 o'clock and
Chlet .McUllI ana twelve ot his men had man
aged to leach tlio end of the pier. They were
trying to light thcli way to the lighter Lorena ,
when one of their number happened toclanco
behind him , and , In an excited manner , ho
exclaimed : "Hovs. woure hemmed In. " The
chief looked tn the direction ot the street and
saw tlmt the whole front ot the pier wa
ablaze and that their means of escape was
cut off. The men rushed to the sldo of the
pier nnd got out on n strong piece. Every
minute thu tire Irom both ends was fast
sweeping toward them. The smoke was so
Riillocnilng that It was ililllctilt to breathe.
Their only hone for escape was to jump into
the water nnd take their chances
ot bolnc able to swim ashore through the
gulf of lire , as the water was Illicit with
burning bales of cotton. Chlet McUIll mus
tered ins men about him and they plajcd on
the lire with onostie.un which tlmv had run
on thopior , hoping that for n time they would
beat back the llames. The fiio surrounded
the hoso.aml It molted In n short time. When
this gave out Chief McUlll called his men
about him add said :
"Hoys , the only think for us to do now Is
to ilsk swimming. "
.hiit ns ho was about to jump Into the
wnter one of tlio men spied ttio tug boat 1) .
SI. Cox and hailed her. She was biought to
the dock and Chief McOlll nnd his men weie
tnlvon on boaid without any being hurt.
The men were no sooner'on board of the
tin ; than word was biought to them that
Henry Wlatt. ono ot the ilremon of the
steamer Lone Star , was locked up in the of-
lice , which was a short distance from tlio
entrance on the water side o the pier. Ho
was crxlmrloudlv for help. The liremen
ur/ed him to break his way out. He was al
most ovcicomo nnd his cffoits were very
weak. The window was pi led open and ho
was drained out In an insensible condition.
On the duck wote 1,500 bales of cotton , nnd
on the elsrht baices 2,51)0 ) bales , making In all
nbout 4.0CK ) bales. The Lone Star was clam-
aced about $100.000 , nnd was beached on the
tlersov shore. The lessen the pier was about
8100,000. Them weto nbout 4,000 bales of
cotton stored there. Some of this was saved.
The loss on the cotton was about § 150,000.

Blizzard nnd Maggie Fielding as Lou-
crctia , carried off the honors being im
mensely funny , their singing being en
cored again and again. There is not a
stick in the company , all being capable
people lilllng their respective roles to
the entire satisfaction of the audience.
"Confusion" has little or no plot but
serves the purpose it was written for ad
mirably that of inn king people laugh ,
and in the hands of the noldlngs is cer
tainly n most pleasing piny. Tim same
bill will be repeated to-night and deserves
a large house.

Death nf The Old Sfionnmker.
Edwnrd Kttolil , ono ot the most pccu <
liar characters that over lived in Omnlin ,
or anywhere else , wns found dead in hl <
bed last night in the back room of his
plnco of business nt 319 South Tcutli
street. It was noticed yesterday tlmt the
old gentleman was absent from his llltlc
shoo shop , an unusual occurrence , nnd
the fact wns icportod to Policeman
James O'Uoyle when ho wont on duty
last night. With another ollicor O'Horlo
forced the door of the room
to llml "the old shoemaker" curled up
in hts rough cot in the roar of the room ,
cold in death. The matter was reported
to the coroner who took charge of the re
mains. Medical iuvestigntion shows
that the death was caused by nn overdose -
dose of morphine , taken probably by
mistake , as the deceased Is known to
have boon in the habit of using the drug
for medical purposes.
The deceased has lived in Omaha since
18CU and was known by almost every oiti-
zen as "Tho Old Shoemaker. " llo styled
himself a "Magistcr of Palmystry ami
Conilitionalist , " nnd for the pnst ton
years has had the following advertise
ment in the Bix :

Kuehl wns n ( Herman , nbout seventy-
five years of age , nnd very smalt of stat
ure. A full suow white beard , sharp
features , nnd Inrgo , spiritualistic looking
eyes , made up an appearance that was
especially impressive upon the class ol
people by whom ho was pnlronliud. He
practiced upon the credulity of hit
patrons with mr.rkcd success , ana was
conceded to be a mast or of his nrt. The
English palmist , li. llerron-Allcn ,
over whom the fashionable bo-
liovcis of this art nro raving
in the cast , is acknowledged to
have beiin excelled by the deceased. To
his friends Ktichl freely admitted that his
nrt wns n harmless humbuggery , to which
he held because it was mote profitable
than shoemuking. His patrons were nu
merous , nud included the representatives
of all classes ot society , especially of the
weaker sex. Unfoitunato girls nnd
women of ill-repute found comfort in his
forecast of the future , while fashionable
ladies paid liberal bills to 'The Old
Shpcmnkur" for work that did more to
quiet troubled conscience nnd solnco dis
contented spirits than to cover dninty feet.
No ono was wilfully deceived by
him , nud these who paid him fees did it
generally in the face of his own candid
slntemenL that ho could give no tnngiblo
reason why they should believe any of
his torecasts.
A number of years ago the deceased
was divorced from his wife. Ho has two
children , n son who Is in the army in the
department of Arizona , and n daughter ,
who is a member of the Franciscan sis
terhood nt San Uarnadino , Cain. On
Thursday last Mr. Knchl made his last
will , in the presence of Charles
Knufmannralentine Nach and
William Stadelmunn. The will
appoints Mr. John Uaumer executor of
the estate. The property of the deceased ,
consisting of ? SOO in cash nnd two gov
ernment bonds of smnll denomination ,
are given , by tint will , to the Franciscan
sisterhood of this city. Tlio will also
piovidcs that the remains shall be ere-
innled. Mr. liaumor will gratity this ex
pressed wish of the deceased and will
leiuo to-day for Buflhlo , N. Y. , to have
the remains disposed of in the manner
proscribed by the will.
B1AIC1NG GAMJJ1/ING A FEhONY.
Oi.lnloiiH of the Ijnw That Passed the
Soniito Yesterday.
The senate of the Nebraska legislature
yesterday passed what is known as the
Snell inw , which makes gambling of any
kind a felony nnd makes any gambler or
Lho keeper of any gambling house sub
ject , upon conviction , to a sentence of
imprisonment in the jail or the state pen
itentiary. The bill is similar to that
rt-hich was introduced into the legisla
ture two years ago by Church Howe.
The passage of the bill by the
senate yesterday caused quite n
sensation among the local keepers
of gambling houses whoso business is
.Iius threatened. A number of them were
interviewed last night by a Ilnr. ropoiter ,
ind expressed themselves as follows :
C. B , Higglns The bill is thu same as
Iho Howe bill. The pnssago of
' .ho bill will close up every gamb
ling house in Omnlin , for none of us
want to run the risk of n trip to the pen.
I'ho way the gambling houses nro run in
Omnha now nny policeman or eiti/on can
see for himself , Close the houses
mil the business will bo done bv
i lot of sharks who will
travel from town to town robbing
neoplo. As Jong ns men have the specu
lative instinct they will gamble , nnd its
just a question as to whether you will
Dave gambling houses in the hands of re
sponsible parties or unprincipled sharks.
Stop gambling in Omaha anil you will
stop hundreds of men from coming hero
For the purpose of enjoying themselves.
K\ cry business mnn in town will ' .ju dam-
nged Ijy the adoption of such a law.
Wlillo I would bo damaged perhaps leas
than nny man in town who keeps a
gambling hnti.se , I would consider my
property depreciated at least 2'J ' per cent
if the bill becomes n law.
"Hlnnch" Ktmnedy Of course I'll close
up if the bill passes the house The clleet
will be like this : Gambling will bo done.
in thu quiet in back rooms , and by men
tvho will rob n sucker whim they get one
ind then skip out As it is now , when
3oinplnintsaro made the authorities know
vlioiu to hold responsible if they find out
lhat nny crookedness has been mactiucd.
Jack Morrison Tim bill , if it passes ,
ivill give us n law just like tlmt they liuvo
n Missouri , where n man can be sent to
; hu penitentiary for betting 5 cents
an n horse rnco These bieyclo
riders cannot run any more races tlmn
[ or ? 50 purses without running n chance
> f n term in the pen. The result will bo
; hnt every hotel in the state will have n
skin room where suckers will bo bled
l > y rounderd who will move from town
lust ns fast as it gets too warm for them.
If the bill becomes a law , of course I'll
2loso up my place.
William Donnelly ( of Sodentrom ,
iirucker & Dmmellyj lu I think thu bill
iviil pass ? YDS , sir , 1 am inc-lincd to
; lnnk it will. It has conn lee far to be
leaded oil' . No , we shan't do nio thing
0 prevent its pnssago wo shan't spend
v single nickel in that direction. . Such u
1 measure will givtu black eye to Omnha.

would sign a petition to have tlio tucasun
killed.
"Why dort't you try to prevents It
pnwige " was nsked of liFin.
"Hocauip such elloits would aval
nothing The bill has gone lee far. "
Charley Ilrnnch 1 presume thu bill wll
pass. 11 it docs it will hurt Omaha It
morn ways than one. H will stop no
only gambling in thcso houses , but alii
pool selling on base ball nnd her o races
That'll bo n line thing , won't il Wlm
Is b.iso bnll without bolting , or horserace :
without pool elllng ? Of course the lav
will hurt Omnlin only. Onmblliig In tin
