LINCOLN. Nob. , April 11. [ Special to THE
] - Lnt night's tire In this city was un
questionably the most disastrous that has
occurred In Lincoln since the destruction of
the big plant of the Lincoln Paint and Color
company a year aild a half ago. It occurred
in the block bounded by Eighth and Ninth
nnd H and S streets , and the buildings cover
ing nearly one-half of the block were con
sumed. The lire originated in the roof of
the Star livery barn at StEi North Ninth
street and although the alarm was quickly
given the ( lames spread so rapidly that all
the efforts of the entire flro department of
the city wcro unavailing to prevent the loss
which was entailed within an hour and a
half.
half.Tho
The Star barn was filled with horses and
the flames spread so rapidly that the peel -
l > lo first on the ground wcro unable to gc-t
the animals from the burning building. In
fplto of the most strenuous efforts of the
Jiremcn the flames quickly spread to Dohan-
nn's hack barn Just across the alloy to the
south. The barn was tilled with llfty head
of horses nnd a largo number of men entered
the blazing building and exerted themselves
to the utmost to bring the thoroughly fright
ened animals to a place of safety. They only
succeeded In liberating a few while the rest
were loft to their fate. In this
barn were also a largo num
ber of cattle , but most of them per
ished before help could arrivo. Fifty-two
horses and cattle were consumed in the
llamcs of Bohanan's barn , while In the Star
barn twelve more were burned to death ,
making the total loss of livestock sixty-
four hrad.
North of the Star barn , whom the fire
originated , were located a grocery store
conducted by a Mrs. Schlass , a blacksmith
shop belonging to Charles Archer , another
blacksmith shop run by Adrain Swanscn.
All of the buildings were one-story struc
tures , and all were burned to tlio ground ex
cept a part of Swanscn's shop. A small
building occupied by a Chinese laundry was
burned on the south side of Bobamin's barn ,
but at this point the Humes were checked.
U'ho Peorla hotel had a narrow escape , as It
very nearly joined the laundry building. .

$2,000 with Clark & Leonard , but ho did not
know In what company. Ho says ho had
twelve head of horses burned , among them a
line trottitiR gelding wortli JOOO , named Tul-
lavcre. The total value of the horses ho had
burned ho figures at ? l,0 , " > 0. There wcro also
thrco horses belonging to Hargreavcs , ono to
Ed Fricnd , two to Tom Carr , ono to C.
M. Keefor and ono belonging to L. 1C.
Holmes was kept In the barn by Dr.
Cosford. Thrso eight horses were worth
perhaps Jl,000. Bohnnan also lost buggies ,
sleighs , harness , saddles , and other appur
tenances of the business of tbo value of
$1.000. Bohanan's total loss will reach
$0,000 If all of the horses were lost that ho
claims. Ho also had three head of blooded
cattle that ho valued ntST > 0.
There wore also in the rear of his barn
thirty-eight head of cattle , nearly all Gallo
ways , that had just arrived from Peorla , 111. ,
for sale at public auction. They were the
property of Woollier & Son , wealthy dis
tillers of that city , and were worth about
1,500. It is not known whether or not they
wore Insured.
All of the buildings In the north halt of
the block belonged to N. C. Brock and are
valued at ? 100. There was no Insurance.
The Star barn was occupied by S. B. Lil-
lard , who loses nothing but about $ ; ! ( ) worth
of hay. Thcro were twelve head of stock in
the barn , one of them being a very young
celt. Five of them belonged to Dr. Queen
nnd were worth about f-IOO. A horse and
buggy belonging to Weyant , the grocer ,
worth $160. a pony belonging to Jack East
wood worth about 30. a horse , dirt anil har
ness belonging to Pat O'Hara worth f 12 , " ) , a
team belonging to a man named Malloy
worth ? 100 , ami a horse and cart belonging
to a stranger worth$75 were consumed In
this barn.
Mrs , Schass thinks that her grocery stock
was worth $1,000 , and It was not Insured.
Charles Polsky figures his loss at 000 on his
junk shop. Probably f 100 would cover the
losses not herein mentioned. The total loss
figures up about $10,000.

Thomas Moore , the man shot by a fellow
tramp during a fracas in the Hoc It Island
railroad yards late yesterday afternoon ,
died of his wound at St. Elizabeth hospital
nt 1:40 : o'clock this morning. The doctors
did everything In their power to save the
unfortunate man's life , but their efforts
were unavailing. Late last evening , after
probing unsuccessfully for the bullet , they
performed an operation upon him. Cutting
open the abdomen they found that the bul
let had penetrated the Intestine in live
places nnd had penetrated the spleen. The
intestines had bled freely. The operation Is
said to have been most skillfully performed
nnd the man's life considerably prolonged
thereby. Ono of the physicians present
says that Moore made a statement before
lie died exonerating O'Brien from blame ,
saying that lie didn't intend o shoot him.
Dr. Crlm summoned a jury at IJ o'clock this
afternoon to hold an inquest' upon the re
mains , which are at O. W. Hoaton's morgue.
O'Brien claims that he had had trouble
with the men in tbo morning , had been se
verely beaten , had armed himself and re
turned to the place and had only shot when
someone hit him with a coupling pin.
Johnson denies that anyone hit O'Brien ,
but says that the latter acted like a crazy
man. O'Brien claimed that Moore was the
man who hit him.
The deail man came from Wilmington , Del.
O'Brien Is held for shooting with intent to
kill , but Chief Otto will lilo a warrant before
u justice of the peace charging him with
murder. Johnson is held as a witness. All
'of the others escaped , j

The legislature provided In the closing
days of its session for two traveling auditors ,
whose duty It should bo to inspect the books
'of the county treasurers in the state , investi
gate their system of bookkeeping nnd other
details of their ofllco work , Nvlth a view to
providing a uniform system of bookkeeping
for all these officials. The commit ceo on
ways and means appropriated $1,500 apiece
for the salaries of tneso two oftlcials ,
but utterly failed to make any proVision -
Vision for the payment of their
traveling expenses. Auditor Moore has
therefore informed all the applicants for the
places that if they accept tno appointment
they will bo exacted to pay all their own
traveling expenses , Including railroad fare
nnd hotel bills. This announcement has
dampened the ardor of a number of the men
who have been working for what they be
lieved would bo nice , easy berths. There
have been but few applicants so far , nnd ono
of these has withdrawn his application since
lie has learned that his expenses will have
to come out of his salary. Among the men
who had applied for the positions were Na
than Fodrea of Cedar Kapids , and Captain
Phelps Painoof this city.
What the Attorney * Ask ,
It Is given out today that the three emi
nent attorneys who have been engaged to
assist the managers of impeachment , Judges
Doiino und Pound and W. L. Greene , have
sot the price of their services at $0,000. In
asmuch as the legislature only appropriated
$15,000 for the entire expenses of the 1m-
IHjachmcnt trial many people who visit the
etato house are wondering just where thu
witness fees are to come from. The supreme
court will , It Is nlleirod , tix the salary of the
three attorneys and they will bo compelled
to bo satlsllcd with what the court decides
is a reasonable amount.

room of the governor's suite this afternoon.
But two portraits are missing , those of Gov
ernors Nanco nnd Dawos , and tl.o artist Is nt

ever made to preserve correct portraits
of Nebraska's chief executives. The
iwrtralts were all reproduced from

of the several governors , Governor Crounso
will add his own portrait to lha group at the
close of his term of office. It has been sug

Filling Up thu Sprlncs-
OMAHA , April 10. To the Editor of TUB
BEE : Yesterday I visited Sulphur springs ,
and the probability is that they will soon be
destroyed. The Missouri Pacific , or some
one of the roads running out that way , are fillIng -
Ing In and building a now track , which if con
tinued another hundred yams , will cover the
springs to the extent of four or live feet.
The water of these springs is too valuable
to bo so put without the roach of the people.
A summary of Its ingredients , I think , maybe
bo had of Dr. Mercer , nnd also of Mr. Pop-
ploton , who once owned tbo place. Many
people are not a ware of the existence of such
water in this neighborhood.
A basin of stone or brick , arched or
bridged over , capable of holding a number of
barrels , nnd with a proper outlet , etc. , and
with means of drawing the water to a con
venient place for the consumer could bo
made. In this way the railroad need not de
stroy the spring nor the existence of the
spring hurt the road. It is but a question of
expense , find a comparative slight ono.which
the city council might appropriate if its at
tention wore drawn In that direction. It Is
hardly HVely that the railroad would object ,
if this is done before its track Is put to
usa Dr. Mercer , while at Potash Sulphur
Springs , Ark. , said that these Omaha
springs wore much like those. If so they are
worth too much to waste. C. M. H ,

K , D. C. . April 11. The demo
cratic majority in the scnnto decided early
In today's session that whatever business
was to bo discussed or acted on It should not
bo done In public , but behind closed doors ,
and so at the very moment that a motion
could bo made , Mr. Gorman- the parlia
mentary leader of the majority , moved to
proceed to the consideration of executive )
business. Senators Hoar and Chandler ,
with a solid array of republican senators
behind him , resisted the motion In vain. The
journal of yesterday having been read , Vice
1'resldent Stevenson stated that before tlio
senate was the resolution for the admission
of three senators appointed by the governors
of Montana , Washington and Wyoming.
Mr. Gorman thereupon moved to proceed
to the consideration of executive business.
Mr. Chandler demanded tho. veas and nays.

The vote was taken , and although there

boiuitor Koitch'g Cuso.
The Roach case cntnc prominently to the
front In the executive session and was the
cause of some rather plain talk on both sides
of the chamber.
The republicans propounded an Inquiry as
to what the other side meant by refusing to
permit the committee on privileges and
elections to report a resolution relative to
the 'contest of Mr. Martin's seat by Mr.
Ady , a resolution that had been agreed upon
in the meeting Saturday , and , further , why
they had exhibited what appeared to be bad
faith in the Hoach decision , a resolution
which , republicans contended , had been
agreed to by democrats on the iioor of the
senate.
This at once precipitated a discussion In
which It was developed that the democrats
were opTOscd | to tiic taking lit ) of tlio Hoach
case at this time and wanted to postpone
any further action until the next session of
congress. It was declared by democratic
leaders , as had been stated by them before ,
that if tiio Hoach case was to bo gone into ,
there wore others that should bo taken up
as well.
The republicans retorted that they wore
afraid of no investigation concerning any
other members , but they insisted that some
positive action should bo taken in this par
ticular case. Tlio democrats said that they
were willing the resolution should bo modi
fied so as to Instruct the committee whether
or not It had tlio authority to make the in
vestigation concerning the previous acts of
a senator , but the republicans urgeu that
this did not go far enough and Insisted that
the committee should bo still further author
ized to go ahead and make the investigation
if it found it had such authority , it was
this counter proposition that tlio democrats
opposed , and after a long discussion of the
two views , so vehemently adhered to by the
respective sides , the question was laid asldo
without any definite aetlon'"belng taken.
Ill tlio Murtlll Cunt ) .
The Martin ease was given its share of the
debate , the republicans contending that the
commlttco on privileges and elections should
report the resolution as adopted at its meet
ing and the work contemplated under the
resolution should bo prosecuted during the
recess of the senate.
From the debate that ensued republicans
assert that they draw the conclusion that
the democrats do not intend to do anything
in this case , and will , If possible , refuse to
look into the question of the legality of the
seat now uccupivit b.v Mr. Martin.
The nomination of Mr. Eckels to Do comp
troller of the currency was reported favora
bly , but continuation did not follow , it going
over for a day under the rules , there being
an objection to its present consideration.
This objection found expression in some very
caustic remarks by republican senators in
regard to what they called the lack of wis-
uom. Manifested in the selection for so Im
portant an ofllco for a man who , by his own
admission , know absolutely nothing of the
business of banking.
A communication was received from the
president concerning the Bering sea case ,
which sot out in narrative form the proceed

WASHINGTON , D. C. April 11. Thcro will
bo a special meeting of tlio committee on
privileges and elections tomorrow , at which
the Hoach case will be again taken up and
an effort made to reach some conclusion as
to what will bo satisfactory alike to demo
crats and republicans. It is improbable that
the resolutions outlined in the executive ses
sion will bo reported during the morning
hour. Mr. Hoar will call up his modillod
resolution , which was not reached today and
will insist upon a vote botng taken. The
democrats will offer their substitute , as in
dicated above , and the question will bo then
tested.
Tlio republicans bcliovo , according to the
judgment of ono of the leaders today , that
Uio democrats intend to adjourn without
taking any action on either of these two
questions and state that if they are willing
to go to tho'country on such a record , con-
\icted , as they claim , ot conniving at the
misdeeds of ono of their number , the repub
licans will cheerfully meet them on that
Issue. At all events the republicans will put
them on record , if It is possible for them to
farce a vote.

WASHINGTON . D. C. , April ll. The alleged
test extradition taoaty between the United
States and Hussla , 'signed In 18S7 , but
which failed ot ratification by the senate
because of the strong .opposition toarticlo

is believed to bo accurate and was made
public for the purposet > f testing public opin
ion so as to form a bast ? for action in regard
to tbo treaty ratified by the senate at the
last session. Article 3'of the ISiT treaty is
as follows :
If It bo made to apu'ftar that extradition Is
sought with a vlow to try or punish the oerson

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April fit. r
Ex-Governor James E. Boyd returned from
Boston Heights today and Is again at the
Ebbltt , where he will remain all of this
week.
"There has been nothing new In Nebraska
affairs so far as I know slttVc I left here , "
said the governor to Tun Br.E correspondent ,
"although there may bo news in some of this
correspondence , " and the democratic leader
from Nebraska pointed to a pile of letters a
foot high upon his table. "Tomorrow I will
visit the Postolllce department and make
some Indorsements of applications for the
appointment of fourth-class postmasters , but
so far as I know now there will bo no ap
pointments for the state of consequence
under some weeks.
"There will no doubt bo changes almost
dally in our small postoflicos , for wo have
over 1,100 of them in Nebraska. In the ap
pointment of postmasters , at the small offices
especially , I think the patrons of the olllco
should bo consulted and the wishes of the
people followed as closely as possible. - It
will be well for the patrons themselves to
express their preferences by letters or peti
tions. These offices affect tnu largo major
ity of our citizens , and the character of the
postmasters Is very imK | > rtant to the pa
trons. "
Tlio governor will bo occupied with his
mail for a day or two , after which ho will no
doubt give considerable attention to the
requests that have been made of him by Ne
braska democrats. Ho is recognized in
official circles hero as not only a potent
factor in Nebraska politics but as a most
influential power in the distribution of
patronage. It Is evident that Governor
Boyd Is not moving hero without Intelli
gence and that his signature carries weight.

Albert II. Hopkins of Iowa , who , during
the last session of congress , treated some
thing of a stir and considerable notoriety by
asking for the adoption of a bill making tbo
pansy the national flower , Is creating con
siderable uneasiness at tlio Interior depart
ment. Hopkins recently wrote to the de
partment asking permission to go out among
the Indians as the Messiah foretold by
Sitting Bull and other ctilofs. Permission
was declined , but today the department ro-
cgived word from him In North Dakota ,
saying he intended makinc a tour of all the
western reservations whether the govern
ment allowed him to do so or not. Some
effort will bo made to stop him in his mad
career. He Is heading for Pine Uidge.

Judge Lamoune of North Dakota has ar
rived and threatens to make trouble for
Senator Hunsbrough of that state if the lat-
tcrdoes not stop thothreatcneddnvestlsration
into the private character of Senator Hoach
of North Dakota. It is stated that Senator
Gorman , in trying to defeat an investigation
Into tbo charges of Itoach's defalcations , Is
only shielding himself ; that Gorman secured
Itoach's election ns a senator , knowing of the
dishonesty of the transaction of the North
Dakotan here , and now heidocs not want ex
posed the part ho ( Gorman ) took in Uoach's
election.

Secretary Blorton Gives Reason * for Ills
Action lit the Mutter.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 11. Secretary
Morton's attention was called today to cer
tain criticisms for his removal of Hobcrt L.
Blalno from the position of chief of the quar
antine division of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. The secretary says when ho took
charge of the Department of Agriculture ho
found Mr. Blalno occupying a position with
practically no duties to perform , and draw
ing a salary of $2,000 per annum. It
was one of tbo most evident sinecures
in the department and he could not , con
sistently , allow it to remain , although
tno Incumbent happened to bo the brother
of the late James G. Blalno. If ho had been
the brother of President Cleveland tlio result
would have been the same. The only posi
tion which could bo taken in the Interest of
economy nnd good government was to abolish
ish this divisionwhich consisted of ono man ,
and assign the clerical force connected with
the stations to the divisions of field Investi
gation and miscellaneous work at the bureau
of animal industry , which It had really done
during Mr. Blalno's incumbency. The quar
antine stations , ho said , will bu maintained
and conducted as they have boon heretofore
under the direction ot the chief of the bureau
ot animal Industry , without the least detri
ment to the public service.
Inestimable
Value
The discovery by Dr. Price
of a new process for extract
ing from the true fruits their
natural flavor will be of
inestimable value and benefit
to the consumers of flavoring
extracts. By this process the
flavoring principle of the fruit
employed is brought out so
perfectly that when used to
flavor cakes , creams , etc. , it
imparts the delicate and
delicious taste of the fruit
itself. Thousands of pounds
of the costly Mexican Vanilla
Bean are annually consumed
in the manufacture of Dr.
Price's Delicious Extract of
Vanilla. Ladies , try Dr.
Price's flavors if you wish
nice desserts. You will nevct
bf disappointed in their use.

firmly locking the
bow to the pendant ,
