Fire nt tlio Fair Grounds.
disastrous fire occurred nt tlio fnlr
yesterday iiftcrnoon , which will
cntiill 1 10,000 loss on the nsso-
chitlon. The flre , without a doubt , luul
Its origin from n sjiark from mi L'nglno on
the. IJclt line , which wtis switching on
the track hack of the north stubles.
The dried grass ulont ? the
trnck first hi-cnnio Ignited , and n strong wind
blowing from the north curried the fire first
to a pllo of tics , and then to the sheds.
Almost In it Hash n thousand yards of
ntnblliiK was in Humes , together with the
commodious power hah and the group of ex
hibition hnildint , ' * tothcBouth. The buildings
burned like no iminy tinder boxes , and In thu
licnvy wind that was blowing the spectacle
was one of awful grandeur. The lire depart
ment was on the scene as speedily as possible ,
and In the absence of water , the force pro
ceeded to tear down the buildings , fences
and stables. For n tlmo the whole
Immense Inclosnro was a sheet
of lire , and it looked as If every
titrurturo upon the grounds must po. The
large crowd of sportsmen in attendance at
the shooting tournament were forced to lleo
for their liven , and the scene for u brief mo
ment was indescribable.
The lire originated In the northwest cor
ner of the fair grounds and swept east ,
taking In its route all buildings of ex
hibitors on the north side of the grounds ,
burning them all to the ground. Thence It
took its way across the area of the race
course taking Kdliolm & Aldus' ,
Max Meyer's building and the horticultural
hall. Two hundred sheds and horse stalls in
the poulli side were consumed by the llames.
The entire lo-s cannot fallfarshortof SW.OOO.
Of course much of the stnbling destroyed
was old and somewhat dilapidated , still in a
condition which promised years of endur
ance yet , and which answered every purpose
to which it w.is duvoted ono week annually.
Then a greater portion of the sheds and pens
nnd stalls were just built tills fall , while
almost the entire lot of stabling had just
been overhauled and repaired.for the late
fnlr. To replace all these must necessarily
entail a great deal of expense. In addition
to the smaller structures the power hull and
all its machinery , together with
the pump building and annex , a huge
skeleton structure , Armstrong & Pettis'
building , Li. P. Pruyn's , W. 11. Drummond &
Co.'s , nnd the entire row of nc-at and costly
exhibition buildings that stood Just north of
the rneo course , were burned to ashes. The
huge windmill was partially burned and must
bo included in the loss , Next comes Wo
grand stand , or amphitheatre , the pool sheds ,
Edliolm & Akin's , .Max Meyer's , the Hr.i's :
building , the Moral hall , the horticultural hall
and adjoining buildings. These , too , were
all totally destroyed. The big eating IIOUFO ,
or dining hall , the lunch stands , and all the
structures large and small , lining the grounds
on the south , were swallowed up in the ocean
of lire that swept witli the most astonihliing
rapidity over the grounds- , The entire sta
bling to the north and west and soutn was
swept away , and long stretches of fencing
was destroyed , together with the sheep and
hog pens.
. The heavy clouds of smoke sweeping over
the grounds for a while made it extremely
dangerous for a hundred or two of people
who were in attendance at the shooting tour
nament. When the buildings to the north
caught , the wind seemed to carry the ( lames
in one red bhcct over the entire grounds and
the shooters and lookers on were compelled
to lleo for their lives. After the grand stand
and buildings to the south were engulfed in
the waves of lire , the scene was one of in-
describaHo grandeur , the tinder box struc
tures being lapped up tin if In an instanta
neous Hash. The tire was a much more
thrilling spectacle than that made by n large
building or any numer of them , as it only
lusted for tlio briefest space of time , Hashing
up and lllling the earth and air with seething
Humes , like the explosion of some colossal
pyrotechnic.
The tire department worked like troopers
With pick , hook and ax , and was instrumen
tal In saving the line art hall , and the big
barn , and In preventing the spread of the
llames to the private residence just north of
grounds. The residents were in dire con
sternation , and probably as many as thirty
families moved all their household goods
into the htreot , when tlio great volumes of
Humes wore seen leaping and rolling toward
them from the fair grounds. However , out-
lido of the fair grounds , no property of
ivhatsoovor nature was injured or destroyed.
Uiehard Tissard , who bad been running u
ilininghall during the ft. A. 1 { . reunion , had
all his material stored in the Meyer building
on the , fair grounds and it was entirely do-
fitroyeil. This entails a loss of ? 1,000 , with
110 insurance.

IIA11UY WOOMHllIMiU AGAIN' ,
Ho Heinnrrlcs Kiln Pnulspii In tlio
Presence of the llrldc's Parents.
Justice Anderson Thursday , In tlio pres
ence of Mr. and Mrs. John Paulson , united
In marriage Harry \Vooldridgo and their
daughter , ICllu C. Paulson. Justice Helsloy
performed the same ceremony for the same
parties one year ago. It will bo remembered
that Wooldridgo is the street car driver who
shot and killed a would-be robber u little over
thirteen months ago. Shortly after
this exhibition of bravery the
city was electrified by the news that Wool-
dridgo , who by the way , is said to have negro
blood in his veins , had been united in mar
riages to Miss Kmma Paulson , daujjher of the
well-known dairy proprietor.
About two weeks after the wedding Mar
shal Gummings received u letter from the
sheriff of Marshall county , Missouri stating
that Wooldrigo bore a tough reputation , and
had loft a colored wifein Unit county.
Shortly after the sheriff arrived in this city
and fully corroborated all ho had said in his
letter. Mrs. WoolOvUlgo No. 2 announced
her intention of remaining true to
her husband and in u lew days
disappeared from public gaze. It Is to bo
supposed that Mrs. Wooldridgo Xo.l Is either
dead or divorced as it is not probable that
the parents of the bride would again permit a
furcial wedding ceremony. If the statement
made by Wooldridgo in his ilrst application
for a marriage license are true those made
by him Thursday uro absolute falsehoods
mid lays him open to the chargoof perjury.
Collision a ! tliu Union Pacillo Depot.
What might have been a very serious dis
aster was a collision that took place at the
Union Pacllle depot shortly after 11 o'clock
yesterday morning. The 11:15 : dummy train
hud just pulled out , but stopped ut the cast end
of the depot. Just ntthistlmutwo heavy run-
nwav Hat cars , loaded with cinders crashed
into the rear platform of the dummy train ,
completely demolishing it , besides breaking
nearly every window in that car. The coach
was comfortably tilled with pasbcngers , but
fortunately no one was injured.
The Hat cars broke away from the
train nt Thirteenth street and us
it is a down grade and the brake failed to
work their speed was frightful. After the
collision the passengers became panic stricken
for the moment and left the car as rapiply
as possible. Onu old lady three herself head
long from an opou window , but was caught
bo a train man. One large , tlcsliy man got
wedged In the conch door by the frightened
crowd and fought like a tiger to get out. As
teen as ho reached the platform tie started on
u run toward the west end of the depot ami
never stopped until ho reached the street.
Tlio wrecked car was taken to the repair

Appointing ; .Indies ol'Election.
OMAHA , Oct. 21 To the Kdltorof the Hr.t : :
In your edition of the 27th lnst.you take Issue
with me on the question as to whoso duty It
is to appoint judges mid clerks for the coming
election , your opinion being that the county
commissioners should appoint , my opinion beIng -
Ing that tlio ofllccrs already appointed by the
mayor and council may act until other pro
visions are made.
The charter creating Omaha n metropolitan
city , and which of course Is the law now In
force , divests the county commissioners and
vests in the mayor and council the power to
appoint such oflleors. Section 8 of the char
ter provides that when necessary the wards
may bo divided by the mayor and council who
shall "apKlnt | judges and clerks of election
for such ( Killing or voting districts as now ap
pointed for the elections held In the wards. "
The wards in this city have beensodivlded ,
and if I am wrong , It seems to bo
the duty of the mayor and council to reappoint -
point election oftlcers , and that under no
circumstances can the county commissioners
appoint , unless it is held that this charter
applies only to elections wherein no other
than the city oftlcers are to bo elected , lint
it seems to be general in its provisions , and
to provide for all elections , fully as much seas
as did the law which has just been declared
unconr.tltutlonal , under which no person en
tertained for a moment the Idca.Umt.tho state
law applied to any election , and which law
was framed for cities only , alike with the
charter. AMIIIKW liuvixs.

Plnnn Discussed For Securing tlic
Nntlonnl llrpulillcnti Convention.
The board of trade committee which was
appointed to heli | secure the republican na
tional convention for Omaha next year , met
last evening with Mr. Meduy In the chulr.
D. H. Whcclcr was chosen secretory. On
motion of Mr. M. S. Lindsay It was decided
to ask the president of the board of trade to
Increase this committee from seven to fifteen.
It was determined to recommend the follow
ing names as additional members of the com
mit tco : J. M. Mlllurd. O. M. Hitchcock , J.
K. Unyd , E. F. Test , W. J. llrouteh , John M.
Thurston , A. J. Popplcton and Max Meyer.
Pending the adoption of this list there was
considerable debate us to the advisability of
appointing democrats on the committee ,
but it was almost unanimously
agreed that as the securing of the conven
tion was more a mutter of business than of
politics , it would be best to appoint energetic
and influential men Irrespective of party.
Next followed n discussion as to the place
of holding the convention. The plan that
seemed to meet with the most favor was that
of Mr. Fred Grey , who suggested that the
brick wall In the Exposition building sepa
rating the Exposition hull from the Grand
Operu auditorium bo tiikcn down and the two
hu made temporarily Into one. Ho thought
that the wall could be taken down In two
weeks and replaced In the same timo. The
new gymnasium that is to bo erected on St.
Mary's avenue was also suggested us a place
for holding the convention.
The matter of hotel accommodation was
next discussed. Mr. Wheeler said the hotel
accommodations of Omahu wore as good as
those of Baltimore at the time the repub
lican convention was held in that
city. Ho did not think there would bo over
2,000 persons in attendance , including the
003 delegates , the alternates , newspaper
reporters and hangers-on , and Omaha could
accommodate a good many more than that if
necessary. Council Bluffs was handy hi case
of nny extraordinary overflow.
It was next decided that all the necessary
subscriptions for receiving the convention bo
assured before the convention is asked for ,
and that at least 5 per cent of the amount sub
scribed bo collected and ready for preliminary
expenses.
On motion the secretary was Instructed to
invite the committee appointed by the re
publican state central committee to meet
with the city committee at the board of trade
chamber on Wednesday next , November ! i.
It was resolved that Church Howe , the
Nebraska coinmittecnian of the national
committee , bo invited by the secretary to
meet with the committees.
EIGHT GAMHM'.US HKhD.
Hound Over For Trial to the District
Court.
The police court was crowded with spec-
tutors yesterday afternoon , and wlthiln the
railing sat the ten men charged with gam
bling. Judge Borka called tiio roll shortly
after 2 o'clock nnd the trial commenced.
Among the witnesses against the defendants
was Andrew Hayc * . Ho testiticd that ho
was asked to go into the gambling room by
Duff Green , the Junior captain of the police.
Ho stated that Green instructed him to
watch the game , and gave him llfty
cents to play with. At this point
Charley Green , the lawye.i , asked the wit
ness if he intended to stand in with Captain
Green on the winnings. The witness stated
that ho couldn't do this very well as ho was
unfortunate enough to quit loser. Ho stated
that his object was to "spot" for Green. Ho
was sure that they were playing poker , and
that he saw Hcndcrshot receive &t from ono
of the others at the table.
A. man named Crapp was the next witness.
Ho testilied substantially as Hayes did , but
stated that ho went in with the latter ,
but was not asked lo play by
Green. Ho stated that the men
in the room were playing stud poker. When
asked if ho understood the game thoroughly
ho replied in the afllrmativo. Upon being
asked to explain the game of stud poker he
stated that the dealer gave out five cards to
each player , and that tlio plnyers discarded
whatever cards they did not desire nnd called
for more. Of course the court was * not edu
cated highly in the manner or science of this
game , but the defense told his honor the dif
ference between draw poker and
stud poker. The court mildly re
marked that he would try
and learn these sciences some day in order to
be able to better inform himself.
The various defendants testiticd substan
tially that they were playing a game called
"hearts ; " that tlio chips were used for
markers , and that they saw no money change
bands. The court , however , hold eight of
them under JSOO bonds for appearance in tlio
district court , nnd the other two were al
lowed to breathe the air of freedom. The
eight men held obtained bonds later.

A Street Car llnnnwny.
Considerable excitement was caused at
about 9:30 : o'clock last evening when a pair
of horses attached to Hed line car No. 50
rushed from the Union Pacific depot down
Tenth street to Furnuin , where the car wus
pitched into ono of the trenches made in the
construction of the cable tracks. While the
car was standing at the depot ono of the
mrscs kicked his foot over the traces , nnd
the driver , George Morritt , alighted from the
car for the purpose of taking the horse out of
ils predicament. Just as ho reached the
; round the horses because thoroughly fright
ened and commenced to run , drugging the
car after them. As they neared Farnam
street they Increased their speed , and when
.ho car switched Into the trench it fell upon
ono of the horses. A largo crowd of men
gathered around , nnd in a few moments the
: ar was lifted off the horso. The animal was
round to be terribly cut on the back , nnd

THE CROWDS
Of customers in our store every day tell the story of the business we are
doing. We are determined to keep it up , and the more the public favotf
us with their patronage , the more will we show them that we appre
ciate their confidence , and will strive to retain it. Just now Overcoats
are in great demand , and are going off like hot cakes. The styles and
prices take. But as fast as the piles are disappearing from the counters
they are replenished by new and choice arrivals , which our buyer is
daily sending us from the east. We have new styles to show every day
and the prices we mark them at must be very tempting , as the people
buy them so quick. Evidently there must be a great difference between ,
our prices and those of other houses.
Other departments that are booming are Gloves , Underwear and Ho
siery. Our corner window this week gives you a small idea of what we
are doing in the latter lines. Where could you get such a good scar
let all wool shirts and drawers at 45c each , or such all wool seamless
socks at 15c a pair ? Other houses would think they give you bargains
when they charge you twice the money for such goods.
