A brisk lltllo blaze started at 100 : : ! o'clock
last night In a fruit and confectionery store
kept by William Uieu. oa Main street near
the corner of Willow avenue. An alarm was
sent in from box 111 , at the corner of Uro.ul-
way and Main strtot , and in a few minutes
the department wa.on the scene. Uy the
Vim- the first stream was thrown the interior
of the room wns all ablaze , but the ( lames
were soon extinguished , after the building.
\\hlch was a Ilimsy structure , had been dam
aged almost , beyond repair. All tlio contents
of the room were also destroyed except a
couple of show cases of cigars aud u few
boxes of fruit which had been sie/.od and car
ried across the street by a couple of young
men who discovered the lire.
Indications point strongly to the lire being
the work of an incendiary. The men who
broke into the store nnd took out the show
eae.i found a couple of barrels stunning in
the roar part of the room filled with shavings
and bed quilts and from all appearances the
lire had originated the.ro. The building bad
been shut up for the night by the proprietor
about half an hour before the alarm was
turned in. Tlio building belonged to J. P.
t'asad.Vj , and Is insured. Hleh could not bo
found last nluht and it is not known whether
the stock was covered by insurance or not.

At the meeting of the city council this

ables the ofllcpr. ft is claimed tnat the police
of all cities are allowed moro or loss tlmo of
tbcir own , in some cases a day each month
being allowed. The chief U willing to begin
It easy , und will only ask for live days a
year , trusting to the good nature of future
councils to aud on the rest ot the tlmo de
sired. The move Is naturally looked upon by
the patrolmen with n great deal of favor , anil
If the council accedes to the request of the

Polmlitt ; Solution
of the .Mystery.
Bathed all night long In the radiance o
the four electric light ; ' , equaling VWO candle
dlo power that surmount the summit of the
tall tower at the Methodist church oi
Broadway , stands a llttlo white frame cot
tage. It Is numbered I'JO. and stands on the
cast side of Beaten street next to the bridge
over Indian crook and half a block from
Uroadwav. There Is not u tree around the
place , and during the night It U light enough
to all to road the Ilnest print anywhere
about the yard except In the shadows of the
uulldlngs , and In thedaytlmo It Issurroundcd
by the full blaze of the sunlight. Theru Is
nothing to attract attention to the place ex
cept an nlr of comfortable , tidy , neatness ,
and the < iuamt old fashioned style of the
cottngo with Its white palntod sides and
green window shutters.
t
I-'or nearly n year and a half It has boon
the home of Mr. A. S. AlcCrary and his fam
ily of wife and eight children , live of whom
are grown daughters. Mr. Mcllr.iry Is a
Scotch machinist , at present working In the
Spraguu Iron worlts , and la one of the oldest
and best known citizens of Council Bluffs.
He is a man of unquestioned integrity , and
all the members of his family are highly re
spected Christian people , the young ladles
being especially popular In tliclr social
circles.
This introduction is necessary to compre
hend the mystery of a strange "story that Is
getting a wide circulation over the city , and
which for a time led the friends and ac
quaintances to almost Jotiuttho sanity ns
well as question the voracity of the family.
The story is that the pleasantly situated lit
tle cottage H haunted by a lively and per
sistent lot of onercetlc ghosts that are not
content to walk all nlcht long through the
rooms bestowing their attentions upon every
member of the household ami the strangers
that may bo their guests , but reveal them
selves In the bright .sunlight.
The story was Drought to the notice of Tin :
BII : : several days nuo , hut for ouvieus reasons
no attention was paid to it , but recently the
reports of str.mgo manifestations there have
been so plentiful that they commanded atten
tion. At 10 o'clock Saturday night a BBC
reporter went to the eottiiKO in the company
ofI. Q. Anderson , secretary of the Council
Bluffs Insurance co-.npan.v ; M. II. Sears ,
cleric in the treasurer's oillco of the Union
Pncilie at Omaha , and C. A. Uichardsen , the
Broadway jeweler. Only the father and his
daughters , Daisy and Lizzie , were at home.
The elder daughter. Dahy , who is u rather
handsome and Intell'gent youtu' lady of
twenty , told a few of the strange things that
she had been seen and heard during thu time
she had lived there. Shu appeared very reluct
ant to talk , and it was only by persistent
questioning that the story was revealed.
"I do not know what it is. " she said ,
strongly emphasizing the "it , " "but I uuow
it comes regularly every night , and it has bo-
comu so familiar to us that we have almost
ceased to feel any timidity in its nrc-icnco
\\'o noticed it llrst a few niu'lits after wo had
iiuvcd here. All nr.'ht long wo hearu footsteps -
stops gointr through the house , the softly
opening and clo-sluir of doors. Father , who is
very hard of hearin'- , did not hear it , but
mother , who is also slightly deaf , heard the
noises. For several niu'Iits wo children sup
posed it was father or mother up and mother
supposed it was us walking about. Mutual
inquiries the next morning disclosed the fact
that it was none of us. Tlio next ninht wu
heard the outside kitchen door open and
heard liuht footsteps coming into tlio Uliiincr
room. Tlio light was burning In the sitting
room , and wo could see plainly. Mother and
1 both arose to see who the Intruderwas. Wo
saw the llgnro of a young girl dressed In
light clothes.Ve supposed It was LUzio and
spoke to tier. The imago instantly llitted
past us and entered my bedroom.
\Vo started to follow but before wo
could turn wo saw it gliding back through
the dining room and into the kitchen and
disappear through the kitchen door. Wo
followed quickly , but found the door se
en rely fastened as wo had loft it before re
tiring. Ko-enteriiig the dining room wo saw
it bonding ever the lan i in the sitting room.
Going to Lizzio's room wo found bur fast
asleep , mid stopping hurriedly Into the sit
ting room wo found it deserted and nt tlio
same instant wo hoard heavy stops in the
dining room and the rattling of the dishes.
\ \ o were badly frightened and mother , who
is troubled with heart disease , I feared
would die. I sit by her slilo fur .sovora
hours aud when she appeared to ba asleep I
went Into the sluing room adjoining and
laid down on thu sofa. Daring all
this lime the tread of llgft feet
was constant In all parts of the
house , as If some one was hurriedly Hitting
through the rooms. My eyeballs ached and
burned and I closed my eyes and stopped rny
ears. Instantly I felt tha motion oi the air ,
ns if some one was gently fanning me. and
felt a presence at mv side. A feeling of the
moit perfect rest and peace stole ever mo
and I dropped asleep with the fragrance of
the strangest ami most delicious purttime
lingering around mo. The next t ing I knew
it was morning. I asked mother if .she had
como into thu room and fanned me and
bathed my head with cologne , but she assured
mo she h.id not left her bed after she laid
down and told me that she , too , went to sleep
sensible of the swee.tcst fragraneo and the
motion a If some ono was gently fanning
her.Vo tried every means to produce tlio
same cflVcb again upon each other with fans ,
books and papers , but , we could jret no sensa
tion that even rcsoaiblcd It , and wu cannot ,
describe the fragrance of those unseen
( lowers.
"Slnoo then there has not been a night
when this presence was not with us , con
scious to every member of the family but
Lizzie , who sleeps too soundly to hear any-
lldnir. On many nlghu thu confusion has
been so great that wo could not sleep at nil.
After the tlrst night every sensation of fear
was gone. Wo have seen the doors open and
close hundreds of times , and that face ,
strangely sad and wistful , peering at us.
My sister Mattlo is only ono of ns who
has over boon frightened and she tins been
compelled to leave home. She Is now living
With her aunt , Mrs. Uathegnn , at lillO Hurt
street. Omaha. To convince you that wo are
not alone in seeing this apparition , Mrs.
( iathogan has become so frightened that she
will not ronmm with us over night any more.
The last time she was over hero the
presence , or whatever you may call It ,
came and laid down on the bed beside Mattie ,
who was sleeping with her. Both saw It and
came running out of the room and remained
In the sitting room until daylight. Mattiu
and I have scon that face bonding over us
iiuuiv times after being awakened from sleep
l > y the touch of a hand on our shoulders or
Feeling ttio movement as If mother was tuck
ing the bedclothes around us.Vo uavo felt
it brnoath our bed gently llftlngthu mattress.
Wu always keep tno light burnini , ' , but wo
have ceased hunting for the presence HOW.
"Last spring It took a notion to stop the
clock , and every night between VJ and 1
o'clock It was stopped. It frequently caused
us to sleep late and made father late in get
ting to his work. This is the only mischief
st has over done and it has long since ceased
> o do tnis. Ono night wo he.ird It winding
ho clock und since then the clock has never
.topped. For the last few weeks wo have
.een It almost every day and ut night it is
always with us. "
At this Juncture Mrs. McCrary came In
and regaled iho visitors for half un hour with
wlurd tales of the uncanny presence , cor
roborating all that her daughter had said and
living many moro instances. "My slstor ,
'
Mrs. Overtoil , wife of Captain A. 'Overtoil ,
whom you all know , like you for u time ,
ioubted our varaclty aud perhaps our sanity ,
> ut she does not do so any more. She haslet
lot seen the tnco but has felt the touch , so
'amllnr to all of us , on bur shoulder and has
leard the weary trumplnir. The presence
has spoken to mo several times , and now
every night wo can hoar the low murmur of
of voices. The voice Is low and musical and
ho sweetest I ever heard. I have always
vet boon too stnplllcu or lacked ; the courage
o spaak to It , but I will do so same tlmu.
\ VhatotliQrsuttvosceultlYuy , every per-
son who has staid with mo In the house for
the last year , have either seen or heard It. A
few days ago Mrs. Davis , wife of ono
of the employes of the Kock Island niu
Mrs. Alexander , whoso husband is connected
with the American express company , saw the
face only In the evening M they were silting
on the front porch. It cam > and bent ever
Mra. Alexander and made her scream with
fright. No , I nm not a spirit jallst , but am a
member of the Methodist church. I cannet
explain it. I only know that It la hero , and
what It wants I do not know. It Is the face
ot a young girl , a very sweet face , light com-
plectod , blue eves and long light hhlr. A lot
of spiritualists came here last Thursday
night and held n seance , as they call It , and 1
never want another such n crowd hero. They
had two mediums , named Kompster and
bavin. They claimed to conjure up the spir
its of two other mortals , a man and n woman.
They described the man as n tall dark follow
wearing a white hat and spectacles , and the
woman dark and heavy set. They said the
man and woman came back only occasionally
for a purpose that had not yet been accom
plished. I put no faith In what they alleged ,
but or.ly know that the shadow of a sweet
faced girl Is always hero. "
The Investigating party staid iltitll mid
night but heard no ghostly sounds , except
the stamping of hnraos In a neighboring
barn and on the bridge as carriages wore
driven over It. The sounds shook the house ,
and echoed back and trebled lu force by the
now bridge over the creek , which formed a
sort of huge sounding board , wore plain ) }
dUccrnablo. The now bridge , which has
been there about the length of tlmo the
cottage has boon occupied by the McCrary
family , may bo the source of the mystery
that is tcarinir up a good Christian
community. _

J. D. Brodbock died yesterday afternoon
at his residence , ( KH Washington nvuiuo , of
nn attack of inflammatory rheumatism. IIo
has boon 111 for a long time , nnd for the lirst
tlmo in many months ho was on the streets a
few days ago , out It was apparent nt that
Lima that ho could not bo expected to last
long. Ills friends were prepared for the
blow , hut that fact did not decrease the
sorrow it occasioned. The deceased was

civil engineer. In 1W50 ho settled
in this city , and has intulo it his
i mo ever since. IIo served several
lurms In the capacity of city and county en
gineer , and the achievement which he was
uncustomed to point to with the feelings ot
Ibo greatest pride was tlio laying out of
Falrmqnnt park.
IIo did all thu work up to within the last
year or two. In his out-of-door life ho con-
iraclod n case of inflammatory rheumatism ,
nnd ever since that tlmo ho has ueon Its vic
tim. H has prevented him from performing
uiy of the active duties ot his profession , ami
: ms caused him a great deal of suffering , but
: hrough it all ho has shown an uncomplam-
ng spirit that has won for him thu ndmlra-
: lon and love of all those with whom ho had
ucen brought In contact. In isTS he married
Miss Kmma 13. Burke , a sister of Finley
Durko of this city , who still survives him.

PARIS , Aug. 3. A reception was given in
the town hall at Cherbourg today to ofllcers
of the Russian cruiser Kortilloff. The recep
tion was attended by the ofllcersof the Amor-
lean and Greek warships now in the harbor.
The mayor in an address alluded to the visit
of the I/Vouch / fleet to Cronstadt ns setting a
seal on the friendship between Franco and
Russia. The commander of the ICornllolT re
sponded , testifying to the sympathy of Rus
sia for Franco.
Au Englishman named Wells , niter win
ning 20,000 at roulette at Monte Carlo loft
the table when his luck turned and trans
ferred his play to the game of trento , gaining
i'l ) , 100 moro by the system of coup dos trots ,
Ills plan was to follow his luck till ho wins
three times in succession and then to with
draw his accumulated slnitcs. His success
is Iho sensation of the Riviera.
The Chicago fair commissioners were In
terviewed hero yesterday Just before startIng -
Ing for Berlin. Mr. Peck said : "I have
talked with many largo manufacturers In
England nnd Franco and find a strong dis
position to send exhibits to Chicago. "
Mr. Butterworth said : "i am really ns-
tonishod at the proportion which the art dis
play of Franco bids fair to assume. I did not
Ibid the movement in England so marked In
that direction. Hero the mli-Utors of arts
and many artists are enthusiastic over the
fair. "
Mr. Lindsay said that before ho came to
Europe ho had no conception of the wide
knowledge of the fair already disseminated
on this side of the Atlantic.

GI.INI : > AI.R. L. I. , Aug. 2. To add to the
largo number of crimes another mysterious
murder was revealed In this village today
that will probably , llko many others , never
bo solved. The victim this time is a pretty
young woman of noout twenty years , with
dark hair aud eyes nnd of petite figure.
Tno horrible crime was discovered shortly
after 9 o'clock this morning by a man
who was out picking blackberries in
the swamps that abound near the
villages of Glendale , Rldgowood nnd
Fresh pond. The body was found near a new
dwelling In the course of construction. Amore
moro lonely spot could not bo found on Long
Island , surrounded mostly by swamps with n
thick growth of blackberries and occasionally
a clump of trees. Tlio linger nail prints on
the girl's throat loft no" doubt but that
she bad been murdered.- The skin on
the neck bore abrasion on the left
side of the throat. The .nails of four Un tiers
had cut into it and the thumb nail had pene
trated the skin on the right-side. The vital
organs were in a normal condition The
clothlnc of the irirl was in perfect order when
the body was found , and there was nothing
to indicate that any struggle had tnken place.
Hundreds have seen the dead girl today , but
none knew her.

THE BEE BUREAU OF CLAIMS ,
Who Compose Its Oounsol and How It Is
Managed i
ABLE JURISTS , EXAMINERS AND EXPERTS ,
Hcnnllolnl Klfcols on Claimants of He-
cent Congressional Action How
to I'rosccuto Claims
of All Kinds.
About sixty days ago a new departure was
ntuigm-atcil by the San 1'V.iuclsco Kxamlnor ,
now the lending paper on the coast. Its pi-o-
nrlotor , Mr. Hearst , son of the late Senator
llenrat of California , who has a very lago
fortune at his command , conceived the idea
of establishing a bureau of claims at Wash'
hit-ton , manned by the ablest lawyers
and specialists conversant with the routine
worn In the various departments and bureaus
of the government.
When the announcomntof this new depart
ure was tnnilo negotiations were at once en
tered Into between Tin : Hin : and the proprie
tor of the Examiner to Join hand ! , and tnu
ually share In the enterprise. These ar
rangements have been perfected and agree
ments entered Into by which TUB linn Is to
prosecute nil claims arrlslng In the territory
where Till ? Uir. : enjoys so extensive a sub
scription patronage.
Under this agreement all applications for
claims , either for pensions , Indian depreda
tions land or mining claims , imtcnt er pos
tal claims In the states of Iowa , Kansas ,
South Dakota and Nebraska , will bo taken
in hand by Tiir HKI : lifitiuu or UI.UMS In
Omaha and through it fowardcd to head
quarters at Washington where they will bo
prosecuted to a llnal and speedy conclusion.
Tin : Uuis takes pleasure In offering to all
its patrons and particularly to subscribers to
Tun WHEKI.Y Jlcn , the services of it ) now
bureau which , we have no doubt , will prove
of groit advantage to them , both in prosecu
ting now claims to a successful issue and in
expediting all claims entrusted to Tin : BII : :
bureau.
Tun Dei : nritEvu ot Ci.uMshas frequently
boon referred to in thc.so columns , but up to
the present time , no reference has been made
to tbo manner in which its important work Is
performed. Tills Is OHO of the most Interest
Ing features connected with the nntorpriso.
Tin ; r.uriNm's Counsel.
To begin with , the services of thivo most
eminent councilors have boon retained.
These are A. Li. Hughes , O. H. Wcller , and
I' . .1. Butler. They denominated "gen
eral counsel. " They are men of mature
years and learned in tno law. They have
made a specialty of practising In the
the United States supreme , circuit and dis
trict courts , the United States court of claims
and before all the departments and bureaus
of the government. They are qualified to
pass upon the general merits of any claim , as
soon as It Is presented. This saves a great
deal of time , bicauso , when a claim has been
passed upon by them , it , is generally one
which is entitled to a standing in court.
When a claim is rejected by them , It meaas
that it is either outlawed or Unit it lacks cer
tain elements which would load to its llnal
approval.
Ivxaniiner.s and ! \iiertsij
Besides these gentlemen thcro are also a
practising attorney , an examiner and export
in each department in which Tin : BII : : pro
poses to prosecute claims , namely , those of
patents , pensions , postal and land claims and
Indian depredations , in fact in any depart
ment in wnich a claim may arise against the
federal government. These attorneys prepare -
pare the petition * and tend to the claims before -
fore the several courts , while the examiners
and experts maltcaspecialty of searching the
records and arranging the evidence neces
sary to strengthen the claim.
The gentleman charged with this duty ro-
gardlng Indian depredations has been the as
sistant chief examiner of these jUiims in the
Indian bureau of the interior department for
many years. His comprehensive knowledge
of details , facts , status of and evidence in
the cases heretofore illcd or the outbreaks
out of which others yet to bo Hied have
arisen , renders his services extremely valu
able.
able.Then there is a general manager , John
Weddorburn. For years he was private sec
retary to Senator Hearst , the father of Hon.
William ilcarst , the projector of the present
enterprise. He has abe been for years the
Washington correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Examiner , with which TUB I3iu : is no v
co-operating. Ho is a maa of universal in
formal ion and Is especially adapted to the
responsible position ho now holds.
Than this force none moro capable could
bo found in the country. Its services have
been retained at , great .expense by the
bureau , the salaries alone reaching ut the
present time ? lSO ! ) pur month.
As has been .stated , the San Francisco Ex
aminer inaugurated the enterprise , and
through it TUB Bir. : was allowed to establish
its bureau for the accommodation of claim
ants in South Dakota. Iowa , Nebraska aud
Kansas. This privilege was llrst , of all the
papers in the country , extended to TIM ; BII : : ,
because of its known pluck , enterprise and
energy.
The undertaking , however , has at
tracted so much attention throughout
the country and been so greatly appreciated
by old soldiers , Indian victims , and defrauded
cbvcrn ment claimants , that loading papers
elsewhere have asked to bo admitted to
enjoy the privileges of the bureau. Among
thoab papers there is a leading one in Minna-
sola and others In Boston , Cincinnati , St.
Louis , Atlanta and Now Orleans. It is
thought that Air. Hearst , the proprietor of
The Examiner , and the gentleman who in
augurated the system , will grant the applica
tion.
Claims Coming In.
Tin : Bnn CLAIM HUUBAU has not oeon in
existence one month ami yet it has listed
Indian dcpridation claims aggregating
jS'-.OUl ) and the amou.it is being con
stantly added to. This Is a remark
able showing , and yet it is but a fraction of
the claims which remain unrecorded und un
paid in the states controlled by Tun Ben
IUni\u : of CI.AIM.I , namely , South Dakota ,
Nohrasita , Iowa and Kansas.
On March II , of this year , nn net for the
payment of InJlun depredation claims was
approved. To this act , It is neces
sary to direct the attention of every
claimant Who has sufforo't at the hands of
Indians. This refers to those victims whojo
claims have already boon Hied as well as to
those who still contemplate IHlng thorn. Up
to the date In question , thousands of
sufferers had Illcd thelrclalms with attorneys
in all parts of the country and were In most
cases charged excessive fees. Many of the
claims , too , had been pending for years.
SuitsIle.il that , in mnav cases , the claimants
had contracted with the attorneys la ques
tion and , without fear of prosecution for
aniuilmcnt , could not transfer their claims to
other agents or attorneys who might expe
dite the collection , congress undertook to
afford the desired relief. This It did in the
act In question.
To llcuovor I of Indian DJ.IIIt . ! OILS
Parties desiring to avail themselves of the
bcnellts of the act hi uiiestion re
garding the recovery oi claims

Pensions Cor Inilrm Soldiers.
There are thousands of poor fellows who
are permanently disabled , having served at
least ninety days in the war. Tlioy were
also honorably discharged. These are enti

that their prostration Is not the result of

MIMI-IIIH. : Tonn. , Aug. a. E. S. Hammond ,
district United Slates Judge , has handed
down his decision in ttio now famous case of
H. M. King , the Seventh Day Adventist.
King was convicted a year ago of Sabbath
brealiiag by plowing on Sunday. Ho appealed
to the supreme court and the sentence was
affirmed. Then the Adventists and National
Secular association took up the case. Hon. M.
A. Dickinson was engaged as counsel
and the case was taken to the higher
courts last November and King was
ic leased o a habeas corpus
The application was argued several months
ago and Judge Hammond has had 1' , under
advisement ever since. The opinion Is a
learned document and dwells exclusively
upon evcr\-phase of the argument In favor
of the religions prisoner. The defendant is
remanded back to the custody of the slicrilT
lo pay the line , however , or' servo the term
Instead according to the sentence.
The decision is based not so much on the
constitutionality of Sabbath laws as upon the
lart that King was convicted under the pro
cess of Tennessee law und It is not in the
jirovincc of the federal court to review the
rase. The courts do not require that there
snail bo some moral obligation to support Us
arguments. It may bo harmless in Itself ,
because , as petitioner believes ( ! od has not
set apart that dav for rot and holiness , to
work Sunday , and yet If man has set it apart
in due form by lii-i law for rest it must bo
obeyed , as man's law is not as ( Jod's law.
' . \indo\v (7l1ss Workers Will Co Out
I'lTTMirico , Aug. 'J. A bitter struggle be
tween tno window glass workers and their
employers is going on. A wage conference
was liuld Friday , but no settlement was
reached because of the great difference be
tween them. Five hours wore spent in
discussion and the conference llnnlly ad
journed without fixing a date for another
meeting. The workers' scale demands an
increase of S per cent in the wages of the
gatherers and that no cutter shall carry cut
: ; lass , while the manufacturers ask for an nil
round reduction of 10 per cent to equalize
wages with the northern districts. Both
siilos refused to make concessions. This will
ifl'ect. about six thousand men.
