    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.

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.

The Author of Sec Saw. "
RiOL'X CITY , Ta. , Nov. i. . 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.

nid the pastor of the church , the Hev. Mr.

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

A GREAT PURCHASE.
Our buyer wires us that he has just completed the purchase of an irrn
mense wholesale stock for which we were negotiating. A large manufacturer - * ,
facturer of fine clothing was determined to close out all his fall and winter - <
ter goods. The enormous increase of our sales last month prompted ug
to make an offer for the entire stock. The offer was accepted and the
goods are ours at OUR OWN PRICE. They will be shipped immediately
and in about a week or so , we shall give the people of Omaha a surpriset
and show them something in the way of Fine Clothing , and prices , that
was not seen before. In the mean time , to make room for these goods ,
we will force the sale of our present stock and have marked several large
lots of suits and overcoats at prices which will surely make them go. Th $
goods to be sacrificed includes part of our immense stock of
Boys' and Childrens' Clothing ,
We have engaged an extra force of clerks for Saturday , and hope to
be able to wait on all our customers on that day.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price , at
