ft 1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY. APHIL 80 , 1887. A STRUGGLE WITH A MANIAC John Sherlock Makes a Daring Attempt to Burn a House- SPICER'S BRUTAL CONDUCT. A Snd Cnnc Ilnllwny News nolle San- Turd In fall Marching to llollc- vuo The Sow UrldKC Other Local. A Manlao'ft Deed. Rudolph Svoboilu reported to the po lice yesterday nf tcrnoon a daring attempt which was made to burn down the house of his widowed mother , on Wurruu street , near Haiisconi park. It seems that this hiuy keeps a board ing house. Among her boarders is a man named John Sherlockwho n employed in agang of railroad graders. About 1 o'clock yesterday Mrs. Svoboda heard a suspici ous noise up stair. " , and going up stairs found tiiat the liouso was on lire , the eon- llagration having started in Sherlock's room. She started to put out the blaze , when Sherlock turned on her and with the strength of a maniac , hurled her bank , threatening to throw her down stairs. Her screams for help brought in some neighbors , who sci/.tsd Sherlock and released his hold from the thoroughly frightened woman. The lire was quickly extinguished , though had it been dis covered a moment later the house would have been wrapped in llames. It was found that Sherlock had thrown coal oil nil over his room and on the windows. The most charitable construction to put on Sherlock's act Is that it was the deed of an insane man. lie is a man about fitty-ilvo years of ago. Some days ago ho lost his wife. This , it is believed , has so preyed on his mind that lie is ulmosl if not quite insane. NAT. BPICEK'S BETKAYAU A Crime Committed In 188ft Drought to Light by a Quarrel. Ucforo 'Judge Anderson yesterday Nat. Spicor was on trial for stealing a watch from Jacob Meyers. The theft is alleged to have occurred two years ago. During all the intorycninK time but little trace has been found of the watch. It is supposed to have been pawned in Iowa at the time and later in a shop in this city on 1'arnam street. It has , however , not been recovered , and but for a fortu nate or unfortunate , as the case may bo , lover's qarrcl , the accused would not now bo hold for trial. Spicer and a woman named Annie Quick for some lived together as man and wife , and were so living at the time the watch was stolen. Some time ago they quarrelled and Spicer left her vowing never to return. About three weeks ago the woman went to Jacob Mayors ana denounced Spicer as the man who had Jstolon the watch from beneath Meyer's pillow. Meyers Bworo out a warrant against Spicor , but not before the hitter had time to seek and obtain revenge on bis mistress. Learning of his exposure the enraged man went to the rooms of the Quicic woman and assaulted her in a most brutal manner , beating and kicking her until she was unable to stand. To secure her evidence against her brutal consort it was necessary to carry the unfortunate woman into the court room , and the sight of his bruised and helpless victim brought out a little of the milk of human kindness in the heart of Spicor , and ho cried like a child , Spicor will also bo charged with assault with intent to kill. * THE NEW BKIDGE. One More Span to be Erected How the Men Work. Through the kindness of Geo. A Lcderlo , resident engineer of the Unior Pacific company , a reporter of the UEI was given &n opportunity to inspect tlu river bridge yesterday.

Tlu work of erecting it will necessarily be Blow , but still it will bo completed in time to allow the whole structure to b ( planked and finished by September There will bo two railrond trucks ant : two roadways for vehicles. 'Iho services of two dummy hoisting en gincs on the bridge and one at the wcs end is constantjy required to raise am lower the massive pieces of iron. Tin bolts which bind the plates of the girder : arc heated red hot in portable furnace : nnd then riveted while still glowing Four men at work at this yesterday movci like machines. The constant wind docs not seem t < interfere with the workmen at all , the having become accustomed to it. "It al ways clews up hero , " said one who hai his hat tied on and was hanging by om hand on the bar while ho wielded a hammer mor with the other. They also hnvi grown BO used to the trains that they mo ehanically step out of the way as the en Kino auproachcs mul immediately resuini their work as the last car glides by. Considering the constant liability of ac cidcnt it is strange that more injuries an not incurred. General Manager Clark , of the Missour rncific , states it as an assured fact tha his road will erect a line , largo depot thi year on its property at Sixteenth am Nicholas. Mr. Grinitts , of the freight bureau , re coivcd a tolcgramycsterday morning froti . the ollicials of the Oregon & \Vaslnagtoi Territory , of which he is vice president announcing that work was being pushc < very rapidly on the lino.

' 'ThercM a man , " said a local dry goods merchant the other day , pointing to an individual walking down the .street , "who earns $2,003 a year at dressing windows. " "Dressing windows ? " inquired a re porter who overheard the remark , "Yes , " repeated the dry goods man , "dressing windows. He is a professional window dresser and understands his business thoroughly. Ho does nothing else but prepare the sho\v windows and arrange designs in the interior of my store. His taste is such that ho can take an assortment of silken , velvet and satin textures and arrange them into combinations which are at once strikingand pleasing to the e.ye some thing which will make people stop and stare. A well-arranged show window is a good advertisement. Wo can atlbrd to pay well for a man whoso talents lie in , tliis direction. Their salaries ? Oh , they receive all the way from $1,200 to $3,000 a year. Jordan , "Marsh & Oo.'s head window dresser in Now York receives fy.OOO,1 believe. In the smaller establish ments , however , the work is not done by professional window dressers , but by clerks who are detailed to do this in ad dition to their regular work. How long docs it take to dress a window ? Oh , from one to two days , according to the ornate degree of the design. The designs - signs are generally changed once or even twice a week , so that it keeps the dresser busy all the time to keep the windows in attractive shape.

PAXTON , President. The Cable Franchise. To the Editor of the BKE : The city council has nassed and the mayor has approved the ordinance granting to the Omaha Horse Hallway Cable company , a cable railway franchise in some of the streets of the city of Omaha. This fran chise is to bo approved or disapproved by the electors of the city ou Tuesday next. The only objection raised by any one to the same scums to be that the or dinance contains no conditions requiring the company to commence the construc tion of its railways or to complete the same within any limited timo. By reference to the ordinance it will bo scon that this is erroneous , and that by tiio terms of the ordinance the company is required among other things to Hlo with the city clerk its written acceptance of its terms and conditions , and , within ninety days from the canvassing of the vote commence active operations in the construction of its roads. The company asks this franchise in good faith , and if the same is granted will comply with all the terms and condi tions of the ordinance , nnd it desires hereby through the medium of your paper to declare to the electors of the city and to assure them that if the franchise is ap proved it will accept the same and the terms and conditions thereof , and will within sixty days of such approval com mence active operations in the construc tion of its roads , and within two years from such approval complete and oper ate double track cable street railways in the city of Omaha aggregating at least six miles m length. The ordinance grants no exclusive right or privileges. No franchise is granted by its terms but what may at anj time bo again given to another company , and which has already been given to the old cable company. The company sim ply asks the electors to approve a granl to it with conditions , which has ulreadj been granted to another company with out any conditions or restrictions what ever , and believes that the electors wil ! approve the saruo unless they are labor ing under a misapprehension as to tlu terms and conditions of the ordinance , or the desires and intentions of the com puny.

It Will Cost $75OOo7an l bo Erected on Fifteenth and Douglas Streets , Before a week shall have passed six of the oldest , most tattcrod and homely structures in Omaha will have been razed to the ground , thrown into heaps , and eventually consigned to the llamos. Yesterday morning they stood on the north-cast corner of Fifteenth and Doug las streets. At noon ono of them had disappeared. It was the rotten rookery on the corner of Fifteenth street and the alloy north of Douglas street. Tim others will follow , llioso buildings , like everything which savors of antiquity , have a history of early life , competition , rivalrv , and shames and crimes. The building which lias disappeared was originally known as the Western hotel. It was built on the corner of Thirteenth and Capitol avenue , and years ago bought by Messrs. Preston nnd Orchard and moved to the place from which it has now faded away. Like it , the other structures are about a quarter of a centurv old. All of these , six in number , including the build ing inwhich Owen McCallroy kept his sa loon and the frame building east of it are being destroyed to make way for Hyor's big structure , excavation for the founda tion of which will commence on nuxt Monday. This is to bo a handsome building - ing OOxiya fuel , with a "round corner" on Douglas and Fifteenth. it will bo four btorics high , of brick , stone and terra cotta. The lirstlloor will bo occupied by the mammoth clothinglhouso of Free- land , Loomis & Co. , of Boston , Mass , The largest phite glass windows will light this lloor , and on Douglas street will boa largo entrance 12x15 foot , with a vestibule unlike anything outside of Bos ton. The second and third lloors will consist of ollices and the fourth has been laid out with special attention to 'ho suggestions of the Metropolitan club , vhich intends to locate there. The tower n the corner will bo coated with copper , ml the summit will be 100 feet from the avemcnt. All the latest modern im- roTomcnts will bo introduced into the nilding , among them being an electrical lovator. which will be'tho lirst ono to be sod in Omaha. The building is to bo wncd by Mr. Byers , of Loavenworth , nd has been designed by Cloves broth- rs , architects , of tills city. It will cost 75,000. , Fourteen young men in n western town 'ormed ' an orchestra two years ago. and low there are only four of them living , ilusicians arc not appreciated in the ; reat west.

"This builtling of Pax-ton's , " said n oliccman yesterday regarding tlic mas- ivo structure in course of erection on lie corner of Sixteenth and Furnarn itrccts , "almost blots out all recollection f the 'old rookery' which stood on thai He until a couple of years ago. There vns many un incident connected witli hat old , rottenrat-eaten , vermin-loaded , nalaria-producing court house which the boys' of the force occasionally recall. 1 hall not soon forgot how near 1 came Hiking a jack of myself , and perhaps doing an injury which 1 might repent to ny dying day. It was about three years go , and the night was dark and cold. It yas but a few nights before the cxpira- ion of th6 old year. I was standing al he door of the police station , and look- ng toward the 'rookery.1 I saw through ho west windows of the couutv treas- irer's oilico that that room wag nore brilliantly illuminated than usual. I wondered at this , and , as I wondered , 1 thought I noticed somebody moving cautiously inside. 1 called one > f the men and directed his attention tc ho discovery. He know no more about t than 1 did. Wo concluded , however , hat it was a burglar who , to disarm BUS- ) icion , had raised the gas high enough o make belief impossible that any- hing wrong was being done. Wo walked lown the alley to the lot , walked through he slush and cautiously crept up to the vest windows , each with a revolver in lis right coat pocket , ready to bring lown any burglar who might bo there , and before ho knuw it either. Well , we ookcd in the windows and what do you upnoso wo saw ? The 'burglar' was Tohu Rush , then county treasurer 'Io was working over his book : iko a young clerk in a ban ! who is anxious for promotion. Hi ookcd awfully tired. Outside the oilici rail we saw the place was packed will > eoile. Wo then understood it all. Mr tush was keeping his ollice open toonabk Kickward tax-payers to pay before tin close of the year and thus avoid : > cnalty of 10 per cent. In the last days n the year thousands Hock to Iho treas irer's oilico and to accommodate them \Ir. \ Hush worked sometimes till afte midnight , and that work the tax-payer ; appreciated , I tell you. Both of us crept iway from the windows and agreed t < never toll the men of the force of oui uldnight spotting. " Cassio dropped a sentence ii 'Othello" the other night which.it is said created a sensation among the COO rea estate men , more or less , who wcrcint h uulicnco , Cassio , it may bo remembered nakes the declaration "I will go and sol til my land , etc. " Some one made tin infecling remark that when the curtail Iroppcd on that act , twenty or thirty rca estate men rushed in to Cassio's dressing : oem , each trying to secure the agonc1 for the lots ho was about to put ou tin market.

The neople are quick to recognize this fact and our success so far shows it. Our salesmen do not need to use much per * suasion to sell goods ; our prices speak loud for us and convince the customer every time that WE HAVE NO COMPETITION IN THAT LINE. Last week we received 200 more of our popular $5.75 Mens' Suits. We have sold over 300 of them already , and everv one sold is making for uv a dozen new customers. Thev are striotlv all wool cassimere , of a nice , stylish brown plaid color , serge lined and well made. We will sell them at same price , $5.75. Thev cannot be duplicated bv other dealers for less than $8,5O. We still have a fair assortment of Spring Overcoats. Two weeks ago thev were marked down verv low , but as we are verv crowded and need room for our constantlv arriving summer goods , we hav put the knife still deeper into them. Thev must go.
