8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , NOVEMBER 7 , 1887. A FATAL MIDNIGHT FIRE , Horrible Futo of a Man While Drunk. .CREMATED . IN AN OLD COACH. A Spark Front the Pipe of Joseph , linwn KtulH in Ills Death Tweiity-XIno Horses Con- Htimcd Ily Flames. Hunted to Death. The quiet and conservative roildents of ' Nineteenth and Nicholas streets , who ns u rule , neck their beds at the setting of the sun and the parting of the day crowing by the cock , were awakened fifteen minutes before , _ 13 o'clock last night by the terri ble cry of lire. A nocturnal pe destrian saw flames shoot up In the center of a plot of ground which lins become recognizable ns Squattcrsvllle , owing to the fact that a number of people have of late located there , habilitating In tents and rudely constructed shanties. Soon the heavens were aglow with the light from the lire , which spread with the rapidity of a cjclone , and the lire-men were summoned by n call fiom box No. 34. Everybody In the proximity of the confla gration rushei1 fiom their primitively con structed homes , nnd the shrieks of frightened women , terror-stricken chlldicn , and the excitement by the temporarily un nerved men , presented n picture of the wild est constci nation. Tin co stage coaches , pat terned after those used in the United States mall service in the far west , were burning nnd the flames wcro fast licking up a frame stable from which the horses rushed wildly for freedom from death , when the llremen ar rived. Witliout delay , strong and effective streams were at play and the fire licnd was subdued , leaving the barn in ruins and the stage coaches charred and wrecked. When the excitement had cooled down n horrible discovery was made. The burned coaches had been in use as temporary sleep ing quat tors by the men in the employ of C. F. Williams , of the firm of Williams & Stcphenson , gradeis and con tractors. Five men in all occu pied the three coaches , which were in line together and stood against the barn. Four of the live men retired early In the 1 evening , and were sleeping soundly when Joseph Lawn , i laborer on the grade , came from down town somewhat under the in fluence of liquor. Lawn was an inveterate mnokcr , and occupied ono of the coaches by himself , the bedding consisting of hay in the coach bottom and blankets for covers. It was in the roach occupied by Lawn that the ilro was discovered , and the supposition is that a spark from his pipe llred the hay and caused the conflagration that destroyed property , cost him his life and imperiled the lives of others. Soon after the lire was put nut the charred nnd disfigured remains of Lawn were dis covered lying in the bottom of the wagon. His limbs were burned to a crisp , and the trunk presented u sickening sight. The liberal bestowal of water on the coach had checked the flames from reaching his face , which osrnpcd untouched. Lawn was thirty-live years of age , and had been in the employ of Mr. Williams since the filth of September last. Ho is supposed to'havo como from Nebraska City , he a few days ago in a conversation with Mr. Will iams having biought up recollections of people - plo whom Mr. Williams knew in that place twenty years niro. Williams had unlimited confidence in Lawn and yesterday allowed dim to overdraw his account , when ho drew ten dollars. With this money Lawn went to the city , and spent it for whisky which made him drunk and brought him to his frightful end. The body was removed to the morgue by direction of Coroner Droxcl. The coaches wcro owned by Mr. Stcphen- hon , the liveryman. Mr. Williams owned the barn and contents nnd estimates his loss at ubout 5400. 1'WKNTY-MNE HOUSES A. Terrible ConiliiKi-nt ton on Samulcrs Street at 2 O'clock This Morning. Fire broke out in the back part of John Reeso's barn , near the southwest corner of Blonde and Saundcrs streets , shortly after 3 o'clock this morning. It spread rapidly and before the Ilro department could reach the place the structure , with its entire cojitciits , consistingof twenty-five horses nnd ns many carriages and buggies , besides harness , grain , etc. , wcro consumed. Two men who wcro sleeping in an oflico in the building , wcro discovered after the flro had got far under headway , and barely escaped with their lives. A small one-story cottage immediately south of the barn was also burned with all the furniture. John Peterson's barn , west of the cottage , was consumed and two horses which wcro in it at the time burned to death. The flumes spread from Mr. Peterson's barn to that of W. H. Askworth , nortli of it. This barn was nlso destroyed nnd two horses burned to death. A cottage occupied by Mrs. 1 Carl Kirk stood between the two barns and was badly damaged , the roof and north side being burned in. The origin of the fire is unknown. TJIAIX HKAKD FROM.

Cynthia Elois Cleveland , who has been brought into prominence of late ua the author of a book entitled "Sec Saw , or Civil Service - ice in the Departments1 is not un known in this section and is well known throughout Dakota , whore she was an earnest tomporiiiiro worker. About eight years ago she Urst entered the ter ritory at Klkpoint , twenty-live miles from this city , where nho begun her labors an president of the territorial W. C. T. U. She traveled over the territory in this capacity and did good work for the cause , " \Vhilo at that place she met Col. S. M. Laird , rftorwards mayor and pobtmastor at Pierre , to whom it was re ported that she was engaged to bo mar ried , but through some misunderstand ing the match was broken olT and the colonel wedded a lady at Lincoln , Nob. This was a severe blow , ns it was deeply and truly in lovo. Shortly privious to this Miss Cleveland passed an examina tion and was admitted to practice of the law. Locating at Pierre , she made a bid for legal business but was not re warded with a practice that brought with it cither wealth or glory. Leaving Pierre , Miss Cleveland took a claim near the present town of Ilighmore , on the Dakota Central railroad , and the bitterness that she afterwards evinced towards ex-Governor Ordway was oc- casiiincd by his refusal to appoint commissioners - missioners who would locate the county seat of II.ydo county , after she oilered to deed him one-half of the land ns soon as the location was mado. Vliis olYor to the governor was made by letter , which afterwards foil into the 'hands of the public. Her warfare against Ord way was carried so far as to have printed denunciatory circulars , which wore distributed throughout the coun try , and was found on a certain day on the desk of each member of congress then in session at Washington. After Governor Cleveland's nomination Miss Cleveland vanished from Dakota , and next appeared as a worker in hih bo- Imlf , since which little was heard from her until her book was unnouiie'ed a fortnight or so since. It is suggested that Colonel Laird , and not Governor Swincford , of Alaska , is the posbiblo hero in her btory. How a Crow ( 'hlH'At'iiuireil Grcatnoum Chicago Herald : The young chief , Swordbeai-cr , is at the bottom of all the disconti-nt. Ho went among the Choy- ' onnes not long ago , and took part in'a sun dance. This is n ceremonial in which a polo is set up and long ropes fastened to the top ol it. A brave wlm wishes ft ) partieijmto cuts a slit in his breast wltli a knife and digs up a mus- clo. Under this muscle lie pusses the end of the rope and ties it.

Tlio Eighth Conpretfatlonal church corner of Thirtieth nnd Cullfornin streets wns forinnlly opened ycstonlny. The church was comfortnbly fllled , nearly nil the Congrega tional ministers in the city hoing present to nid the pastor of the church , the Hev. Mr. Holt , in the exercises. Five mlnuto ad dresses were mndo by each of the following named pontlcmou : Hev. Cralk , of the Seventh Congregational church ; Kov. Thick , of the Ilothcl ( Bohemian ) church ; Hev. Mllllgnn , of the Cherry Hill nnd Saratoga chuiches ; Hev. Wlllurd Scott , of St. Mary's Avcnuo Congregational church ; Hev. Hlddc- inan , oftlio Third Congregational church ; Hev. A. F. Shcrrill. of the First Congre a- tlonul church , and Iluv. Wilson , of Bridge port , Conn. The last gentleman WM astounded when ho learned that the number of Congrega tional churches in Omaha during the past live years has increased from ono to eight. The society of the Klghth Congregational church was organized only last July. On September 7 the ground for the present structure was llrst broken. On the 10th the carpenters commenced work and in ten days services were being held in the building. The church is a plain , substantial structure , with stained glass windows and has inside a cozy , inviting look that many more imposing edifices lack. The building cost f l.iiuo , and iihide of live minutes yesterday tllXX , ) was subscribed for paying this debt. The Hev. Mr. Holt , the pastor of the new ; hurch , is a professor from Gage college , at S'eligh , and has already captivated his new charge. The Christ inn's Fcnrs. In the Westminster Presbyterian church 'Jev. John Gordon preached from Mark 10 32 ! "And they were In the way going up to Icrusalcm and Jesus went before them , and hey were amazed ; and as they followed they were afraid. And He took again the twelve nnd began to tell them what things should iiippen unto them. " This is very lifelike. The disciples wcro afraid. Why ? We have to admit that wo ire afraid. Why } Of what ! Hcason says we should not bo , but we are. Afraid of our selves ; afraid of pain ; afraid of death. Many , "through fear of death , arc all their ifctime subject to bondage. " Of what wcro ho disciples afraid I That day on the road to Jerusalem nothing happened to either them or their Master. Their fears were all on the 'uturo. Something terrible might happen someday. Is it not so with a large part of our fcurb 1 It is not the part of the road on which we are walking that frightens us , but : ho part out of sight around the bend. Not what wo see , but what we don't see that wo ire afraid of , for that may bo like the beast in Hevelation with its seven heads and ten iiorns. Not what we are suffering , but what wo may have to buffer 'next year. Not the living that strikes far into our hearts , the "living" which is really the frightful thing , but the dying , which , if the living be all right , is an upothcsis , a glorification. Aside from these imaginary terrors there are real sources of dread. If wo follow Ulirist wo will be afraid necessarily. Ho leads , you follow , up through the rocky dc- [ Ucs. up to the dlziy ycaks , where the storm liowls around and the wind all but flings you headlong into the valley , up to giddy heights where you walk with Him in places where your head swims. Walk with men and you may lead a calm , quiet life of respectability. Walk with Christ and it will bo out in the terrible wilderness where the devil has been known to tempt a man who fainted witli hun ger for forty days and forty nights. Walk with Him and you may bo out where men have only one coat to thin backs and no money in their purses , and "have trial of cruel mockings and scourgings , yea , more over , of bonds and imprisonments. " And being there you will como to have great con tempt of dangers such as these , and a true gospel fear will como to you , fear of Him who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Jesus noticed their fears and set about quieting them. Hut howl Hy telling them of the things that should happen to Him. It was a strange way to reassure them. But extraordinary as it is , nothing so calms nnd quiets us as the sorrows and sufferings of Him whom wo love most. No ono can toll why it is or how it comes that the story of Jesus has such power over the soul. You go to a house when there is hopeless poverty , trouble , or grief. What shall you tell them } Why tell of the travail of his soul , of His long , weary agony , and peace comes to their souls. So , likewise , it has happened that delicate ladies who were afraid all their lives , who could not bear a single drop of rain on their heads , who never dared walk out and face the wind gusts , have stood on the shores of that deep , dark river the hither shore of which is so stormy nnd tempestuous with the spray dashing in their faces and the dark night Journey Just before them. It is The chill before the dawning. Between the night and morning. Hnw to drive away their fcarsl We tell them of Jesus , , how they scourge him and mock him and spit upon him and they pass over Jordan gloriously. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds , In a believer's car ; It soothes his sorrows , heals his wounds , And drives away his fears. A soul is stricken with fear of God. It fears him , fears the day of judgment. Day and night awfiirtear sieves it. It fears that It is in the hands of an angry God. Telling it of the things that happened to Jesus , its fear disappear and peace , quiet and assurance comii upon it. The I'ock-l'oiindcd Church. Hcv. .1. M , Wilson , of the Castillar Street Presbyterian church , preached a sermon to the young people fiom the text , Matt. 10 : IS , "And I say unto thec that thou art Peter and \i ) on this rock will I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. " The city of Jerusalem is a typo of the church of God. Its people , laws , ordinances , nnd history are ailgureof the now Jerusalem. Its place in the plan of God is prophetic of the church. Its temple , n symbol of the tabernacle made without hands-eternal in the heavens. The foundation of the holy city is like that of the church of Christ. As the mountains beneath Jerusalem , so Is the rock beneath the church. Capture , destruction and utter demolition , only partially eradi cated the sai-red capital and tiio foundations were immovable. The hand of persecution and inquisition and the inroads of worldlines" have k'lt ' the structure of the church only p.irtially ruined and the rock found.ition ha * born assailed In vain. But what is the rockl Non others than the "chief corner stout ulci'l and proi'loua. " Not the man Jesu alone but the God man , and not separate but In the hearts of his people. Peter's confu sion embodied the truth , "Thou art the Christ the son ( if the living God , " and Peter's faitli and liriiiwss showed the stone already laid. But not in Peter's heart alone but in John' * and Paul's and Angustlnu's and WcsleyX in all the stanch adherents to the Chrlstiai f.ilth the rod ; uf ages is imbedded nnd on the sure foil mint inn the church of God is built. This i-inm-h K divinely blood-bought. It IE purchased not by silver nor gold , but tin jinvlous blood ol the Son of God. Already Ho told his disclpliH tluit Ho must sutler am : die at Jerusalem. The covenant was made In the counsels of eternity and Ho was i lamb slain from tno foundation of the world The \icarlfuis iitoiipnii'ut meann that ChrNl purchasoil Ills people. God is now Just anil the JrstiiU'j of the ungodly because Ho "bon our MUs. i'i His own body on the tree" lie therefore culls itMy church. " And who i- ho tliUti-oniViuuuiul Christ died , yea , r.ithei is risen ag.iin. This chuivli I * divinely called. None othei than the Son of God built the church.on thN foundation , "I will build My church. " Flesh anil blootl had not planted Peter's fed on the rock , hut "My Father h\th : \ revealed it. " The divine spirit hud , called Him and till other faithful disciples to th high mountain Ifdfeo at open vision. , The clouds w * scut crlng nnd on Pentecost the fire of the spirit shone full on thorn.Abraham / was divinely called to bo the father of the faithful , Moses o deliver Israel In bondage , David to be king. Likewise all the true apostles , prophets nnd nlulstersof Jesus Christ , and BO the indi vidual lay member. The. church is "God's mlldlng , " and If It bo of God ye cannot over throw it. lest , haply , yo bo found even to light against God. This church Is the mbodlmcnt of the ill- vine purpose. Like Plato's idea , It was be fore the divlno uilnd la the eternal counsels and is wrought out In Its every day form and life. It Is God's ' will that the gates of hell shall not prevail glnst it. Death and lie who hath the power of death , that Is , the devil , are conquered nnd In the counsel of 3od destroyed. It is God's purpose to give [ ho children the kingdom. "Called according to His purposo" and "predestinated" mean the ilniil triumph of the redeemed. The laws Df nature are , the laws of God and the world's ' history the unfolding of the plan of Provi dence , so the ten commandments nnd the law of love are his , nnd the history of the church Is the outgoing of his plan of redemption. Chance is u by-word and n hissing ; Ho work- eth out these things according to the counsel of His own will. Ono Jot and tittle of the l > lnn shall In no wise fsll till all bo fulfilled. The missionaries of the erous are traversing the track marked out nnd evangelization tfinll go on till Jew and Gentile bo gathered In and tlieu-nlmll come the end and the San deliver up the kingdom to the Father. I. The history of the church is the prophecy of its future. Smullncss , wandering , bond age , conquest , triumph , captivity , for malism , persecution , inquisition , martyrdom and division , but always progress have char acterized its march. Weakness within nnd foes witliout Satan nnd all his emissaiies liavo only retarded not blockaded the ad vance. From this vantage ground , the future Is Duly one of promise. The movement among the young men nnd women in Christian en deavors is ono of the signs of the times. Mar shalled ns the hosts of God are to-day , the watchword is " triumph. " The gateway to this invincible church of Christ is sincere and firm confession. Peter's inswcr composed the whole beginning. Join ing the church Is nothing more. Enlistment lo servo the new commander is the step upon the solid rock. The look and word and net solemnly taken are our committal. No rap tured feeling may como at once , but place ind assurance nnd safety arc our enduring inheritance. "With the lips confession is made unto salvation. " Do you believe I Plasterers' Notice.
