Another victim of an accident In the railroad -
road yards Has al Ilcafoy & Ilenfoy's ' undertaking -
taking room ? , and a young companion lies nt
ills liomo with tits scalp frlRhtfully torn and
hirs severely bruised , yet happy withal , because -
cause by the merest clmnco , Uo escaped nhor-
rlhlo death under the morcllcsi car wheels
The accident occurred yesterday morn
ing on the U , & M. switch tracks under
the west .end ot tno Union Pacltlo brldpo ,
v lion switch cnglno No. 173 struck George
Homkos and n boy named VV. M. Fantnant ,
nnd the former was Instantly killed.
Jb scorns that Hcrakos and the boy were
walking down the main track carrying largo
lilucca of sheet Iron on their beads , and the
engine \vlth a cor of cindera was colng In the
same direction on what Is known as track
No. 0 , but which runs parallel with the main
truck nnd opens upon It , Just below the bridge.
As the engine carne up behind them they
were seen on the other truck , nnd Just then
the Hainan , on whoso side they were , step-
lied down from his scat to shovel soiuo coal
Into the llrobox. A few seconds later , the
engineer saw n piece of sheet Iron emerge
Jrorn the other slue of the truck about six foot
nhcjulof the foot-board on the front end of
the en Kino. It was apparently beIng -
Ing carried by somconu , nnd al
though the engineer Immediately reversed
his machine , the man was struck before the
engineer could sea him.
The man foil squarely across the track ,
with his nock across the mils. Ho was
pushed n few foot and the engine nnd car
then relied over him , the last wheels of the
war truck of the car being on him when
brought to n stop. The car was pulled ahead
n few feet to clear the body and the coroner
was not ill oil.
The switching crew was made npof J. H.
Stnullcra , foreman ; 11 , S. Gloason , engineer ;
Ed. Shrinor , fireman , and Thomas Stollckor
und Julin Summon , braUomcn. all ofvhom
were subKiMtml | to attend the Inquest.
Prom the stories of those present nttho
ttino of the accident , together with such Information
mation as could bo gathered from the boy
in his natur.ilty confused state ' It is supposed
that the two thought that the t'mln was com
ing up on too sumo track on which they were
walking , nnd to avoid It tBcy stepped over to
the other track Just us It was upon them.
1'licy did not look behind thorn owing to the
loads thov wcro carrylnc on their heads , as
well as sacks of old brasses nnd old metal of
various kinds which they had.
Kemkos was a little ahead nnd stepped on
to the track , while the boy was apparently
just nhout to cross the rail when the foot
board struck him and knoclcod him out of
harm's way. Ho did not appear to bo ser
iously Injured , nnd was removed to his homo
near the corner of Plorco street Just east of
the tracks , where the company's ' physician
was called to attend him.
Uomkos was completely decapitated , and
the headless trunk was rolled several feet beyond -
yond where the head was loft. The rppor
portion of the trunk was badly crushed and
the hands nnd forearms mangled. The
wheels passed over the back part of the head
crushing it to a Jelly and scattering the brains
along the trackwhile the llcsh was torn from
ono check , leaving the bono bare.
The deceased was a Bohemian , thirty-eight
years of ago , and loaves a wlfo and five chil-
tlron. They reside near the tracks , between
PadIIo ana Plerco streets. News of the
nwful affair reached the ears of the poor
\vomanboforo the mangled remains of her
husband had been removed , and she hurried
to the snot , loading three of her little ones ,
the oldest of whom was not six years of ago.
Saveml of the railroad men and others who
had been attracted to the place tried to keen
her back , hut she fought her way through
the crowd , sobbing nnd moaning most piti
fully. She had almost reached the corpse
when n policeman kindly but llrmly barred
her way , nnd a number of sympathetic neigh
bors finally Induced her to return homo.
The remains were taken In charge by the
undertaker bv direction of the coroner , who
will hold an Inquest as soon as ho is through
Ylth the Bon.steln case.
THKY'UK ON TUB TOWN.
A Party ofKullwny rmbnrcrs Stranded
in Omaha.
A plcturostiuo ctowd of some forty Cana
dian day laborers In toboggan suits drifted
Into the uity yesterday In search of sotno ono
\vlio would send them to Chicago.
Thotr story was bnof. They said they had
bcon worklne on the Ellthorn railroad , near
tbo Black Hills , had become dissatisfied over
various mnttors nnd had been shipped as far
( uOtnnha ontlielrwnv bnclt to tholv borao ,
which they locntcd In Chicueo.
TUoy tackled Mayor Cusluag us ho was
on tlio way to his ofllco. nnd oskud him if ho
couldn't 1llx" them. Ho unswored tnat there
\vero no funds in his possession available for
charitable purposes , nnd referred thorn to
Poormnstor Mnhonoy. Failing to find that
gentleman in his ofllco they drif ted down the
lilll and toward the lower part of tuocity.
These Kontlomen formed a part of the
crowd that attempted to tnko an Elkhoru
train from the track near Deadwood a few
anys ago , because the managers of the road
refused to carry them to Chicago.

Wio affairs of tun ofUcb of the plumbmg in
jector cotivenod la the ouico of Air. Moroarty ,
chairman of tlio committee. Major Dennis
not being present , tbo members concluded to
beam the lion In his don , and adjourned to the
ottlco In basement of the court house. ' Tbcro
the major was found. Ho at once went upon
the witness stand , nnd explained that In some
instances ho has received tecs before the plans
t or plutnbluR were in his bauds for Inspec
tion , nnd at other times not for months of tor-
wards.
"ilnvoyou nny authority , major , to take
hold of thcso plans until the feos.nro paid ! "
askca Mr. Tuttlo.
"O , jcs ; the ordinance lots mo hnvo
authority tooxiitnlno the plans olthor before
or nftcr they nro submitted to the board of
health. Sometimes the teas are paid when
the plans are npuroved and sometimes boforo.
If a man want ) to pav I tnUo hla money. "
"Yon don't ' prottmd to Buy that you Uko In-
spcction fees before tbo plans for the plumb
ing In a building are approved liy the board
of houlthJ" usUcdMr. Moroarty.
"Certainly , " respondcu the major. "I hove
not ex net oil n fee until afU-r the approval of
the plans , but If the party wants to pay , 1
never refuse tbo money. You may think
that I collect close up , but I do not. There
is the case of the union depot. The plans
wcro submitted last November , but I linvo
not colltt'to J the hill yet. There Is the Bush-
jnon building down In tbo eastern part of
own , -I Inspected the plumbinfj tncro two
months ago , but have not collected the fees
yot"
"That Is no w y to do business for the
city , " remarked Mr. Tuttlo.
"If this mau should refuse to pay this bill ,
what would you do with aim , Dentils r' ' ques
tioned Morunriy.
" 'Arrest ' him . "
, promptly responded thaln-
Doctor , as ha thumbed a bundle of papers ha
hold In his hand.
"Uutal" exclaimed the three members ol
the committee In ono volco. "You can't ar
rest a man foracbtaud you are an old enough
man to know that. "
i "About old buildings , major , " continued
v Mr. Morcarty , "tbero Is no record of such
inspections in your ofllco , unliMs you almplv
made an entry In your caan book. "
"Thauls the condition of affairs , but I am
not to blatno Tot * this , for In such cases the
ordinances nro at fault and a thorough hives
tlgation will show this , " and hero Dennis
entered Into an extended discussion of whal
ordinances relative to plumbing matters h (
would JMUS If ho was a member of the coun <
ell. He then branched oft onto other plumbers
ors ana said : % Thcro Is Bob Duncan , anO
ho Is not such a saint as tome people imagine ,
Only a few days ago ho cauio for a permit t (
open the street , nnd upon an examination I
found that the work had been completed
Ion * before the p < jrmltwas nppllcd for.1 '
"That has nothing to do with the present
Investigation , " Interposed Mr. Donnelly.
"Those plumbers made lots of trouble , "
continued Dennis. "Sometimes the buildIngs -
Ings nro nearly complete before I got the
plnns for the Inspection. "
"They are on file with the ( ocretnry of the
bofard of health , and you ounht to know it , as
you nro a member , " answered Mr. Donnelly.
"Thoy nro not always there , " responded
two of the major's Inspectors as they rushed
to the rescue.
"You gentlemen are not on trial,1' retorted
Mr. Tuttle , as the two men attempted to take
another ban din tlio investigation , and turn
ing to Dennis ho said , "hero are a lot of let
ters signed In blank by Clark Oa-
pen , as secretary of the board
of health. What nro tnoy for ! "
"Why , wo got thorn nnd after the examln-
tlon of tlio plans , I 111 ! out the blanks over
the signature and they go through , " said the
major , In rcplv.
"Jhat's ' a fraud , " responded Mr. Tuttle ;
"you , nor no other man has a rliht ; to fill out
such a paper. Gnpen mleht bo In China nnd
any person could get hold of thcso papers nnd
they would bo legal. "
"It has been done,1' concluded the major.
The committo concluded that there was no
moro ovldenco available , andoftcr expressing
the opinion that the ofllco baa been run in a
loose and careless manner , adjourned.

801110 Sensational Testimony Adduced
Yesterday Afternoon.
Tbo Inqunst to determine tbo cnuso of death
of Nathan Dornsteln was continued nt the
llotcl Casey yesterday afternoon , A largo
number of curiosity scckcra were present.
Miles Gard , nn expressman , was the first
witness called , Ho had heard a conversation
Tuesday morning at Fourteenth and Douglas
streets concerning the burning of a building ,
There wcro present John Elch , Isaac Gard ,
the witness , H. J. Boury , Gooigo Itusscll and
ono or two others. Husscll said n imrty tried
to hire him Saturday to set flro to a building.
Tho. witness could not remember whether the
building meant was Klein & Spelglo's saloon
or not Ho did not know how much had bcon
offered. Husscll gave the name of the party
who tried to hlro htm. but the witness could
neb remember what tno name was.
The witness was intoxicated nnd proved
very stubborn.
Frank I'cnnoH of 2314 North Twcntr-sov-
enth street , a blacksmith , was coital. Ho had
n conversation at Fourteenth nnd Douglas
streets yesterday afternoon with Qeorgo
Kusscll. Itusscll remarked that there wnt
$ .VJQ.ln sight for nny ono who would testify
at the Inquest concerning tbo burning of the
'lulldmg. This money , ho said , the insur-
nco inon would pay for good testimony on
ills point. That was all the wltnoss knew
bout the matter.
John H. Elch , an expressman living at CC01
Cnsslui street , was called. Ho was present
at the conversation referred toby Gard , nt
Fourteenth nnd Douglas. The pirty was
itandlng there talking about the lire when
tussoll came up. Husscll said ho guessed
10 could tell as much about that us any ono.
Jo said some parties had tried to
lire him to bum o building. The
conversation bnd occurred on Cumlng street
ind Uussoll said ho supposed It was the build-
'ng of Klein & Spclglo which was meant. The
ivltncss could not remember the name of the
party Russell snld made him the proposition.
Husscll is a helper on moving wagons and
; lved somewhere near Bedford Plnco.
IsnacGnrd was called. Ho Is au express
man mid lives on Casslus street. Ho was
resent at Fourteenth nnd Douglas streets
during the conversation referred to by the
previous witness. The witness had two con
versations with Ucorgo Uussoll. At the first
one Kusscll snld ho had bcon offered KOO to
set lire to n building. Trio witness advised
him to go to the Insurance men nnd toll them
ibout the matter. At the second conversation
iiusscll told him the nnmo of ono of the par
ties \\tio hnd made him tnc proposition to
burn the building was Dennis Lano.
The offer was mido him a few uays
buforo the fire at Klein. & Spciglo's -occurred
Hussell snld Pcnnoll was with him when the
offer was mado. Ho snld also that the man
who had mndo him the offer did not tell Him
what building it was which was to bo burned ,
but snld ho would tell him Inter.
The witness saw Hussell nnd Pcnnoll on
Tuesday and they paid they would bo willing
to testify "if there was anything in it. "
Mrs. Sarah Prclsman , wlfo of the second
hand furniture denier next door to the saloon
of Klein & Spciglo , was the next wltnoss.
This was the party who John Cuno had testi
fied told him , immediately after the tire , that
she saw a man run down the alloy from the
back of tbo store Just nftcr the explosion.
She denied this slory flatly and snld she was
no * at the back part of her place the evening
of the flro. She had known both Klein and
Spolglo for several years and had not seen
ollhor of them since the flro. Did not BOO
either of them Sunday afternoon. She testi
fied positively and repeatedly that sue , had
not talked to anyone about the flro , olthor nt
the tltno it occurred or afterwards.
The coroner stated that ho saw the witness
talking with Klein Sunday evening , but she
denied this. It developed that the witness
was a niece of Klein , and she was promptly
excused.
George Hussell was called. Ho lives nt
Thirtieth and Emmctt and works at the express -
press business. Ho testified that ho bad a
conversation at Sixteenth and Cass streets
lost Friday evening , about 0 o'clock , with
Dennis Lano. Lane came up to the wltnoss
and asked him if ho didn't want to "mako a
little boodle. " The wltnoss asked how that
was to bo done. Lane said the witness could
make $500 by setting flro to a building. Wit
ness asked what building was meant or
where it was , but Lane did not toll him.
Frank Ponnoll was with the witness Just
before Lane spoke to him , but was in the
saloon whlla Lane was lalkincr. Penncll
came back nftcr Lane had jono and witness
told him what had been said. Pcnnoll wont
upstairs to the oftlce of Justice Shaw , whcro
Lane was. and when ho cauio buck ho told
the wltnoss that Lane would not talk to him
about it , but would see him the next day ,
The wltnoss testified that ho had often seen
Lane loatlng about Klein & Spelglo's saloon.
Aleck Spclgle was put on the stand again
nnd testified that ho did not know Dennis
Lane at all and had never seen him to his
knowledge.
Dennis Lnno was subpoenaed on Tuesday ,
but had not appeared at tbo inquest. In view
of the testimony of Isaac Gard and Russell ,
it wns considered highly Important to have
the testimony of Lano. An officer was sent
after Lane yesterday afternoon , but could
not find him at his usual haunts. Ho was
reported sick , but as ho had been seen in the
moraine riding in a buggy his illness was
evidently not serious.
Au adjournment was tnkon until ,3. p. m.
today lu order to give the police time to hunt
for Lano. The jury also desired the presence
of Frank Ponnoll , who is suspected of "hold-
ing out" considerable testimony.

Arrest for Murder of n IMnn Whole
llrotlier wns Liynohcd.
It has bcon learned that Sidney Cell ,
the alleged slayer of Snmuol .Tucobson ,
is a brother of J nines William Boll who
was lynched during the early turt of
1885 at I'lorro , S. D. , for the cold blooded
inurdor of nn attorney named Forrest
Small , saya the San Frnncibco Chron
icle. Small wns a land tigont of IJnr-
rold , S. I ) . , nnd wns an enemy and
n rival in buslno if Jnmos W. Boll.
On Thnnluglvintr day , 1881. Small
Blurted on her obicU for lUuut , a town
fiftjon mlles west of Harrold. Ills road
was ever a rolling prnirlo sparsely
Ecttlcd. Small failed to return nftor
aovoral dnys nnd uUnougk inquiries
were rrmlo ns to his whereabouts , It
wns n full month before it was suspected
that ho hnd mot with foul piny.
Rumors were current that ho hnd nb-
Ecouded nnd hnd boon nrrostod for land
frauds , which rumors \vijro traced to
UolPs authorship. The fritter was re
garded as a bud man nnd had once made
nn assault on a wenlc minded young mnn
with a liutchot. Bennett , an accom
plice of Uoll's , who had suddenly disap
peared with Small , was arrested and
told tlio story of the inurdor which led
to the recovery of Small'a body burled
in plowed ground near the Dakota Con-
al railroad. The skull was literally
ackcd to pieces with n shinylo hatchet.
Aflor the confessioji of Donnott , Boll
ivii8 nrreslod and tukon to the Pierre
ail for trial. The no.xt morning n mob
ippoared before the jail , effected nn on-
ranco and demanded Boll. Sheriff
Itirrls refused to deliver up his pi-is-
nor.
The mob then broke into Boll's cell ,
Irngged him out and hanged him to the
flagstaff in front of tbo courthouse ,
"lydnoy Boll , who is now under arrest
U the city prison , came to Pierre ehort-
y nftor the lynching of his brother. Ho
cprobontod that ho was a telegraph op-
itor and cauio to settle his brother's es-
Uito.
Although Boll has boon identified ns
o same person whoso brother wns
yiichod In South Dakota , yet ho denies
, hat ho was ever in the state.
Ijuwsult About a IVmtneo Stamp.
Pat Hlckoy , ono of the nttnches of the
Tromont , who wns here before the fire ,
.old this :
"When tbo post-ofllco stood on the
block below there was a man who kept
; v nowa and candy and tobacco stand In
' .ho front. His nnmo was Boach. I don't
ccall his given name , but no matter.
A.n Englishman went in and bought a
postage stamp. Roach nlso sold stamps.
The Englishman throw down three
cents , ono of the pieces being Canadian.
This Roach refused to take. The Eng-
'isbmnn said ho had no other and ho
! iad by this time used the stamp. The
; wo men were stubborn. It was the
same old fight English vs. the Irish ,
and the Irishman had the bettor of it
and insisted on hit 'way. Roach sued
the Enirllshmnn and n lingering lawsuit
was the result , in which Roach won , but
tcost him quito a sum of money ; I
think the expense of the suit on both
aides amounted to about $400. Roach is
not living here now. 1 believe , and tbo
Englishman loft lonff ago. Roach
brought the suit to recover the ono
cent , and that is the smallest lawsuit on
record , so I am told. "

Talk with your dealer about it.
