Mrs. Babcockjs a widow who lives alone
at No. 533 Parlf avdnuo. Night before last
she was visited by two bold burglars , who
entered her house through the kitchen
window , rnnsaokcd every room ex
cept her own sleeping apartment , and
apparently took possession of the promises.
Abouto'elocic Mrs. Bubcock was awakened
by hearing' ' water running. She got out of
bed , looked about , und on going to the bath
room Jouud tbo'two scoundrels occupying it.
Ono of them had his clothes off and
was raveling in the , to him ,
thrilling sensation of taking a bath. They
quietly Informed bar to keep quiet and leave
them alone. Jiu mortal fright the old lady
rushed bae'lf into her sleeping auartnient ,
locked the door , barred tlio transom and re
mained th'ero until morning. After the fas
tidious thieves got * through enjoying
themselves thoyput in the balance of tbo
nlfeht searching for valuables , but did not
Und anything tliat would bo of use , and
went awny empty handed.
Robert Mantel opened tils engagement at
Boyd'S last night and played "Monbars" to
an audience that filled the house. Ho Is
supported by a well organized though not
great 'company. His loading lady , Miss
Charlotte Bchrons , Is a very handsome ,
graceful woman , > and sustains the [ Tiirt
entrusted to 'her , that of Dhina ,
well enough , perhaps , but she foils to encom
pass its full scope. Marie Sheldon as

not without Interest. On thu other hand , it
had many commdndnblo points. Ilo-.vcver ,
oho lac s ' in magnetism and , power. It maybe
bo , tho'ugli , tiit | | bet ; position has
certain restraints thrown about
it which forblas greater effort. Such Is
often the case. ' Among the nialo support
Kendall Wo'ston , n very young looking actor ,
attracted 'unusual attention. In the char
acter of'Louls/'do Merim bo showed himself
to bo uojo.sscd of .unusual brightness , a pleas
ing manner , earnestness and enthusiasm.
But the intense interest was centered
In Mr. Mantel's ponormanco as Robert
Monbars. Only when .tip. occupied the
stage can it bo.said thattho plcco carried
with it the undivided Attention of the par
quet , dress circle nnd gallery. His presence
and action seemed to have on effect not
often produced , and was so ' impressive as
to Invoke comirluut. Ho 'is ono of the
most poworfnl and at the sainb
time consistent , natural and easy actors
of tbo emotional school tnat Omaha people
have over bud the , pleasure of seeing. There
is some question as to whether "Monbars"
can bo considered exactly suited to Mr. Man
tel's peculiar talents , but' ho certainly finds
in it material out of which to construct
n very urtlstlo nnd entertaining
performance. Everything ho docs
bears tlio- stump of intelligent conception ,
splendid Judgment und careful study. At
end ot every act ho was called before the
curtain.
Milton Nobles nnd bis charming wife ,
Doll 10 Nobles , gave a repetition last night
nt the Grand of their opening bill ,
'From Biro to Son. " Counter
attractions , caused qulto a fulling off In their
business , still they drew a good audlonco
nnd wore well received. Mrs. Nobles has
been suffering from illness for several days ,
and in justice to herself ought to remain
quiet , but being anxious to
make tholr engagement hero among
old friends nnd admirers , she hab
shown pluck .and pndurancq by going on ana
carrying her part as though she was enjoy

Nob.SopU S. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun Br.B.1 The Kelley building ,
occupied by McArthur , the d'rucglst , and
Uarr , the Jeweler , on O street between Tenth
and Eleventh , caught ilro last night a few
minutes after It o'clock. Owing to the dense
volumes of tmol.o that welled up from the
cellars of half a dozen buildings it was some
thno bofora the flro could bo located , as every
man was sura that bin building was burning.
When the firemen finally entered the Kelley
building they tound the ilro burning on the
joists under the first floor , nnd creep
ing up the walls between this
nnd the three - story * building
adjoining on tlio cast nnd occupied by Parker
ns n boot nnd shoe store. The building1 west
of the Kelley building is occupied by Tommy
Noonan as a saloon and was slightly dama
ged on the partition walls.
The flro was soou believed to bo subdued
nnd the department returned to headquar
ters , leavim : n couple of men on guard.
About 11:30 lire was ngoiu discovered , the
stnoko issuing from the building
nnd the ono occupied by Purkor's
bboo store. The department again
responded and the tire was soon extinguished.
Just as the llromcn were leavjng tbo two
buildings collapsed with a frightful crash.
Loud cries and groans were heard , and for n
time it was supposed that n number of per
sons wcro c.uight in the ruins.A rescuing
party was organized nnd all except Dr.
Kolso , who slept on the second iloor , were
soon relieved from their perilous position.
The doctor was rescued about two hours
aftoi ward , badly bruised , but not seriously
Injured. t
The following is a list of the Injured :
Dr. Kolso , badly bruised about the body.
Captain Preston , of the Uro department ,
bruised about the body nnd head cut in sev
eral places.
A. B. Hosman , fireman , boadt chest aad
body badly bruised.
George R. Sloat , fireman , sllahtly injured.
Fred Stratum , fireman , cheat bruised.
E. Fleming , clerk in Barr's ' , jewelry store ,
badly burned.
Several other persons' ' received slight in
juries. No person is seriously "liutr.
The work of clearing up the debris which
'
resulted from the collapse of the Ca'meron
nnd the Kelley buildings this morning , has
been pushed vigorously all day with- very
perceptnblo results.
Even yet the losses can only bo esti
mated.
Kelloy's building was insured for 51,500 ,
which Is half what It was worth.
McArthur & Son estimate their stock at
from 1,500 to $1,000 , which they had insured
for 52,500.
Mr. Ban-says that ho has insurance to the
amount of $4.000 , which Is but u small part of
the value of his stook ; however , , much of
both the above stocks will bo saved. . Mr.
Bnrr had all of hU finer goods in two heavy
safes.
A Mrs , Johnson had a dressmaking shop
upstairs , nnd suffered some loss.
The Cameron building was insured for
$5,500 , Mr. Parker , who oiiorated the
shoo store therein says ho has policies on his
Block for $14,000 or $10,000. Ho can't tell
which the papers uro in the ruins. His stock
was worth more than that , but some of it
may bo saved. In the second story there
xvero several odices and in the third a hall
occupied by the Knights of Labor , the An
cient Order of Hibernians , the Hodearriers1
uuion and ono or two other societies. Vary
little of the furniture or paraphernalia can
bo saved.
The two-story brick next east , owned by J.
& I ) . Newman , was considerably damaged ,
nearly the entire west siilo bolnu torn out by
the tumbliutr timbers which rested on the
partnership walls.
'
The total loss is estimated' fully $40,000.
Tbo injured are all resting well this evening
and no serious results are anticipated.

TURNING AGAINST HIS WIFE ,
Hamilton Flaoos Htmsolf in tlio
Hands of His Frlonds.
THE WOMAN IN HARD LINES.
She Oan Ho Sent to tltn I'cnltnntlnrj-
On a Hair Dozen Ohnt-aca and
Brcakn Down Whan Hlio Real
ized Her 1'osltlon.
A Complicated On so.
NRW YOIIK , Sopt. G. [ Spoclnl Telegram
to TUG BEE. ] It was the common opinion In
the clubs and down town to-day thnt the
brightest thing Robert Hay Hamilton lias
donu of lata was to "place liiinsolf In the
hands at his friends" especially of his
legal friends. When his troubles were first
made uubllo some ot his' old associates wont
Immediately to Atlantic City to help him
out of the ecrapo. To tholr surprise Mr ,
Hamilton refused to see thorn for some time ,
but at length ho socmrd to come to the con.-
elusion that his alleged wife was not nil his
Imagination pictured her to bo , and that
possibly ho had mndo more or loss a fool of
himself. Tlien ho consulted the law firm of
Hoot & Clarke , and lot his friends gather
about him.
In au interview to-day Mr. Clarho
said the marrlngo of Mr. and Mrs.
Hamilton would cortnl-ily bo made void. Ho
had no doubt personally of being able to
provo that the woman had been murrled to
Mann. Air. Clark said that Mr. Hnmilton
would not aid the xvomaii In tint trial for assault -
sault , but would leave her to look out for
herself. The charges under which she could
bo hold and punished outsldo the assault
were many , sala tuo couuscl. In the first
place , the substitution of the child came un
der section 151 of the penal code , where the
punishment for counterfeiting an heiress Is
not lus ? than ten years in the penitentiary.
The criuio of larceny could also bo estab
lished against the woman , and both Mrs.
Swlutou and Mann could bo hold as ncccs-
'sdries. ' Bigamy , too , could easily bo proved
against her , and the other two were evidently
accessories to that orlmo.
Inspector Byrne * had Mrs. Swinton and
Mann before him more thau nn hour to-day.
Of what wont on there ho would not say a
word , but bo remarked later :
"I know the mother of that baby. It In
not Mrs. Hamilton. I Know where she lives
and can get her. I know also its father. Ho
is not Uobort Ray Hamilton. "
Hater on tbo pair wcro arraigned in the
Tombs police court and remanded until Fri
day. Mr. Hamilton is stopping in Now iork
with his friend , Charles A. Poabody.
Blrs. Hamilton Grow.4 Nervous.
ATLANTIC CmN. . J. , Sent. 5. | Special
Telegram to Tim BBC. ] When Mrs. Hamil
ton TOW informed of the arrest of Mrs.
Swlaton and Joshua Mann on the charge of
conspiracy in palming off on Mr. Hamilton
as his own offspring a baby that had been
bought for the purpose , she fiercely de
claimed against Mr. Hamilton's frlonds and
asserted that they concocted this story to
alienate her husband from hor. Subse
quently she calmed down , and upon learning
that her confederates had mauo a confession
broka down completely and , throwing her
self upon bor bed , moaned and sobbed for
two hours. Then she suddenly started up
and demanded xvritlng material. Page after
page was quickly filled and ns quickly de
stroyed. Finally she returned to her bed ,
where she prostrated herself and apparently
was In a condition of utter nervous exhaus
tion.
Tin ; Chain Complete.
Nr.wYonK , Sopt. 5. Inspector Byrnes'
chain cf evidence against the Robert Kav
Hamilton conspirators is now complete , the
last link in the shape of the identification of
the 510 baby , by the midwife who sold It ,
, hnving been welded to it to-day. Joshua
Mann told the insooctor that Mrs. Hamilton
had showed him u will her husband had
made In her fuvor. It proved that in the
event of bis death bis money , family jew
elry and elate should go to her and the
child , and she was to bo the custodian of
the cnild till it became of age.
"Ray once fell from his borso and broke
his lug , " she remarked to Joshua. "Ho may
fall again and break his neck , and then ,
Josh , I will marry you. "
To the mind of tlio inspector this Indicates
that Eva was not married to Mann. The inspector
specter will not give the name of the
mother of the bogus Hnmilton baby. Ho
says she is , and was when the child was
born , a married woman moving la good so
ciety.

Twcnty-llvo Acres of Anthracite
In it < ls In Flames.
SciiAjrroN , Pa. , Sept. 5. What threatens
to bo ono of the most destructive Qros that
over occurred in this region is now raging in
No. 2 colliery of the Delaware & Hudson Ca
nal company at Olipbant , where several acres
of anthracite coal are ablaze nearly two hun
dred foot below the surface. About three
weeks ago there was an extensive cuvo-in of
the roof of this mine , followed by a tremendous
deus explosion of lira damp. It Is thought
that lira was then communicated to
the gas blowers .which rush through the coal
fissures and that the anthracite was Ignited
In that way. Cavlug-ln hu's been coing on
steadily since that data until the caved-in
area is nearly twenty-live acres In extent. It
was not uptil yesterday that the full extent
of the lire ) became known and gangs of expert -
port miners were at once detailed to light the
Humes. This is dangcroUH work owing to
the rapidly accumulating gas that may no mo
in contact with the flames at any time and re
sult in a disastrous explosion.
