Almost the entire ouilness portion of Duquesno Borough , oppo site McKecsport , on the Monongahcla river , jvas destroyed by a flre of supposed Incendiary origin which broke out at 4 a. m. The loss will amount to $ J3,000 , the buildings being all small. The fire started In Peterson's grocery store on Railroad street and within thirty minutes had spread over the entire block. The borough Is wholly wltliou fire protection and a bucket brigade was the only resistance lo the flames. From Railroad slreet the town runs back over a hill of considerable steepness. About the time the flames began to spread a high wind came up and drove the lire up Ihe hillside , with the result thai everylhlng In Its path was destroyed. The following Is a partial list o ( the losses , many residences and business properties not being enumerated , as their owners and occu pants are BcatUrcd : Peterson's grocery , the First National bank building , a new lliree-slory brick struclure , the Duquesno pharmacy , the Eagle phar macy , Iho postoince , McClurc's shoe store Qcrst'.s grocery.

The town Is now panic slrlcken and It Is im possible at present lo secure an accurate estl mate of the Individual losses. By reason of the lack of water and fire apparatus but lltllo Insurance was carried by properly owners In the burned district , as Ihe in surance companies were chary of taking risks and the premiums wcro set so high as lo bo aboul prohlblltve. The Allegheny U-s&cmcr Steel works were shut down as soon as the extent of the Ore was apparent nnd Iho workmen were or ganized Into bucket brigades to fight the flames. Owing lo Ihe rapid headway of th fire and Ihe high wind Ihelr efforts were wholly Ineffectual. Tim ( iriuilnn Mtrlt Of Hood's Sarsaparllla wins friends wherc- cver It Is fairly and honestly tried.

Treofl I'liintoil mid Appropriate Idol-clues Are Hold. The twenty-fourth anniversary of Arbor day was conduclcd with the usual cere monies of Ireo planting and Juvenile feslivlly In Omaha yeslorday. The elements soeme < well disposal toward the Nebraska holiday am the clear skies , bright sunshine , springing grass nnd freshly budding Irces seemed I Indlcalo that the Supreme Ruler had taken tha occasion under his especial palronage. In all of Iho public schools of Omaha n porllon of Ihe day was devoted lo tree plant Ing and its accompaniment of marches , song and recitations. In Iho opinion of the teachers Atbor day , as al present observed is one of Ihe most prolltablo days of Ihe school year. Something o ( the method o the kindergarten Is brought Into the prepara tlon ( or the day , and the simple ceremony o grading an embryo oak or maple Into th bosom of the earth Is made the vehicle by which a vast amount of useful and Interest Ing Information la conveyed to the children. It is doubtful whether there Is a child litho the public schools of the city who did no go home In the afternoon with more knowlcdgi of trees , their growth , peculiarities and use tlan many parents have ever learned. Fo weeks past each day's work has containe ( some thought that would be developed and in delibly Impressed on the Infantile mind b > the exercises of today , and the result follow that the simple observances that took plac In every school In the afternoon taught a wholesome lesson out of the Inexhaustlbl book of nature. Thoholo day was not observei as a holiday , nnd during the fore noon the regular curriculum had th right of way. But in the nfternooi books were laid aside and the children unltei In the celebration. No great effort wn made In any Instance to prepare an elaborat program , but the exorcises were bright am Interesting , and at nearly all the school they were witnessed by a large number o visitors. As a rule the exercises in the varl ous schools were very similar. From on to half a dozen trees were planted , some a class trees and othcru as memorials of grea statesmen or authors whose life am works were Identllled with the trees am made a study by the pupils. Music wa made a prominent feature. There ar scores of pretty and simple songs naturall > connected with tome clement of tree growth and thcso the children sang , while instru mental selections were Interspersed by waj of variety. English literature Is so liberally endowei with prose nnd verse appropriate to Arbo day that there was no lack of pertinent se lections ( or recitation und declamation. Ii most of the Dchools some of these were ar ranged ( or concertlvo recitation , each clas or grade uniting In the exercise. Thes features made an appropriate framework fo the tree planting ceremony , which was generally orally donu to a musical accompaniment while the pupils marched around the trc istnglng and planting ( lowers around It roota. Through the courtesy o ( the 7 > arl board each school was provided with an ever green , and aa the Board of Education ha previously made a distribution of elms an maple * , the aggregate- adornment of th school grounds of the city was very notice able. _ _ Important Chuiico In Tlmo.

Spencer while ervlng In the capacity of a Juror In the dls- rlct court became Intoxicated , This Is the tory as told by several fellow jurors. The ttentlon of the court has been directed to he fact and It may result In the granting of nether trial of the case of the First Na- lonal bank , of Corning , la. , against the Star talon Lumber company. Jn the story of the several Jurors who wcro iusy watolilng the condition of their fellow uror , during the progress of this trial the Irst week In April , there Is some discrepancy , tut the attorneys for the Star Union and Davis Lumber companies , the two defend ants In the case , have prepared affidavits ending to show that Spencer was Intoxicated , hat he had a flask concealed In his coat-tall racket , and that ho frequently solaced him self with good sized draug'nts. ' In the trial of this case there were two Spencers on the Hiry , but the Spencer who Is charged with mblblng real Bourbon , the Jurors say , IB the nan who sat on the end seat In the Jury jox , toward the witness stand , In Judge iCeysor's room. Juror Boss swears he ob served Spencer place the llask to his mouth and charges that It contained whisky ; Juror Harmon alleges that the liquor had the color of whisky , nnd Juror Harrison swears the Iquor had the odor of whisky. The affidavits of these gentlemen are to be presented to the court for the purpose of securing a new trial. The case on trial resulted In a verdict for the bank of $571 on a guaranty which It Is claimed the Davis company executed when It assumed the assets of the defunct Star Union company. for Iholr Kroodom. Habeas corpus proceedings have been jrought by Charles Lewis and Ellis Hyde to secure their release from the county jail , where they are serving out n sentence under a $100 fine Imposed by Judge Berka. Lewis and Hyde allege as a ground ( or their release that on April 11 they wcro urested In company with two young girls In the lower part of town and taken to the lollco station , where they were charged with Jelng on a plain drunk. To this they pleaded guilty and were held by the court , they stiyi while the judge was looking up their case. In the meantime this action was dismissed and , without trial , a new complaint of drunk enness nnd disorderly conduct was preferred and fentenco Imposed , the record showing that they pleaded guilty to this also. But tills they deny , alleging that the limit under the former charge would have been a line of $2. . but that now they have a sentence cf $100 Instead , to which they object. In I xjiectuiiuy of u Yrrdlct. The Hanson damage suit against the Mis souri Pacific Railway company , which was tried In April , 1603 , and then appealed by the defendant to the supreme court had an other step taken in its progress toward ultimate determination. J. J. Johnson has filed an attorney's lien for ? 1,830 , In view of the decision he expects In his favor. He appeared for Mamie Hanson , the child who was so severely Injured on the tracks of the company near Ruscr's crossing In June , 1S01. Mamie Hanson at that tlmo was a child 12 years c ( age. For a long time her attorneys claimed It had been a custom ( or pedestrians to use the railroad track ( or a walk. About 5 o'clock In the evening she was walking on the track when nn engine came up ( rom behind , nnd throwing her down crushed her legs. Fifteen thousand dollars was asked as damages. The Jury gave $11,000. the duo. County Commissioner Sutton has been en gaged by a prisoner named Howard Webster to defend him In criminal court. Like other prisoners , Webster ( rom time lo time receives letters , nnd sometimes the letters contain a dollar or so. One ho re ceived the other day , AVobster claims , did nol contain an expected dollar , and so he confided hU grief to Sutton. Mr. Sutton called at the jail and held a conference with Bachman. tolling him that the disappearance of the dollar was due to the manipulations of a man now serving a life sentence under Scott's orders. A lively tlmo was had nnd con slderablo jaw action iibcd. The jailer claims that nothing was in the letter. Mr. Sutlon will liivostlgito at Hie postofllco to discover whether Webster has been getting his papers regularly as he also makes complaint on this score. _ CnntrHtliif : the Cltj's night. The city of Omaha Is having some trouble over the foreclosure proceedings brought by Leonard Proctor ngalnst Maria Hellman , nnt others , with reference to property situated In Forbes' subdivision. A part of lot 15 Is In dispute. The city lays claim to a strip 01 this land ( or boulevard purposes. Proctor \\fiio Is foreclosing a mortgage , takes Issue and alleges that the land was mortgaged to him In 1SSG. In 1892 , ho says that George W. Forbes and Maria Hellman gave a war ranty and quit claim deed , respectively , to iho city ( or a portion o ( tills lot ( or use for boulevard purposes , but avers that ho had no notice of the transaction nnd was never given any notification of the intended use of this land for public purposes. Ho denies that the city has any right or Interest In the land. \\oii Four of th hulls. John A. Wakefield was successful In a law suit Involving an action against ( our Insur ance companies , the British American , the Western Assurance and the German Fire , In which about $11,060 of money was asked on policies written on the lumber yard ant' buildings destroyed by the fireof June 25 1S93. Wakoflohl had about $29.000 of policies written on his yards , the loss being $39,000 The defense made by the company was Urn Wakefield had the policies written In his own name , wherer.s an association was really carrying on the business under his name.

They Discuss the Illbto and the Criticisms ( in It. The Ministerial association held an inter esting sesbion yesterday in Kountze Memorial church , with about thirty ministers in attendance. "Tho Blblo and Higher Criticism , " was announced as the loplc ( or consideration , and It brought out a lively discussion. Dr. Gordon gave definitions of higher criticism and illustrations of its workings. While this branch of learning had been pro ductive of good he thought the work was sadly lacking in agreement as to results. He illustrated by selecting particular verses from scripture , regarding which the critics have found as many as half a dozen different authors. After the lapse of 2,000 years ho pointed out the difficulty of arriving at ulti mate accuracy. In the discussion which followed Dr. Hell- Ings stated that as scholars could not agree the ministers should not bo held responsible ( or hesitating over new doctrines and theo ries. Ho much doubted if Dr. Harper had made out a case to substantiate his position. The scholars of the world were responsible ! for the heresies , ho declared. What the church wanted was truth , but the higher critics did not help them much. Rev. McCormlck stated that In his opinion the higher critics had got the cart before the horse. In the case of the New Testament the higher critics had minutely examined the text and got It pretty nearly absolutely ac curate , but they had begun construing and Intcrpictlng the Old Testament before getting a perfect text to work upon. Rev. Lloyd was of the opinion that the critics had. come to some substantial agree ments of value which he ( ormulated thus : First , they had drawn the distinction between the word of God and the bible ; second , they had pnmd the dual authorship of Isaiah , and , third , they had pointed out the ( act that the bible was a compilation , rather than a work by God , acting through the mind of man.

HESPELEB HAS HIS SAY , Other blilo of the Into IVhoro Property V\m tha Istur. The legatee under the will of the late Mrs. Eirrfly Hcspeltr , Georgd Hespeler , takes considerable exception to the attitude In which ho and Mrs. Bycrs , the-sister of Mrs. Ilespsler , have been placed by reports pur porting to give an account of the disappear ance of the laces , together with a trunk from the residence of Mrs. Hospeler , at the time of her death. At that time the sisters of Mrs. Hespoler charged Mrs. Byers with stealing a trunk containing $2.000 worth of rare and costly laces , which Mrs. Hespeler had accumulated. A complaint was filed In police court. It was later dismissed , George Hespoler says , because Judge Berka saw that nobody but Mrs. Bycrs , or he , was entitled to the posses sion of the property. "Tho facts were Just this , " he declares , "Mrs. Hespeler was my step-mother , and left mo everything. I di rected Mrs. Dyers to get hold of that trunk at all odds , as I was In Canada at the tlmo and knew It was the desire of my mother that the other sisters should not get a scrap. So she carried out my desire and got the trunk out of the house the same night Mrs. Ilespeler died. It Is true that the probate court has decided that the will is only good as to personal property and thus cut oft my right to about $10,000 of real estate which will accordingly go to the sisters , who were otherwise cut off by Mrs. Hespcler without a cent. But more will bo heard of this case before the matter Is finished. " JMl" D.IX Jl.lTTKItti , These contributors who wish their copy returned If unavailable must Inclose stamps for return or ask that It be kept until called for , otherwise It cannot bo returned , as the amount of manuscript already recelvoJ Is enormous. Ono of the corps of workers came Into the ofllco the other day In search of information. Some one had suggested having about two stlckfuls of something , and she hadn't any Idea what kind of stick was Intended. The superior Intelligence of the ofllce force cn- ablej her to go on her -way rejoicing. Ono woman , who shall be nameless here , says she knows now why newspaper people always have such an air of superiority , anJ adds : "Why , I've learned more things I didn't know in the past two weeks than I ever did before In a year. " There Is some curiosity to know what she will say after the 1st of May . The young man who guides the elevator on Its Journeying from top to bottom of The Bco building no longer asks the destitution of the many women who take passage In ths cage. Ho simply stops at the fourth floor and waits for them to go. When asked the reason for this he bald : "Oh , I know them easy enough by their air of important business and the bundles they carry. They all show where they're going by their actions. " The statement that a poem written by a woman on her 18th birthday would be a Slay day feature has created some amnscmonr and for no ono more'than the one who wrote " 80" and saw It transcribed to .the . other number. Since that came out the ofllco has been deluged with verses by people who thought It passing strange that the poetical outpourings of an 18-year-old maiden should be a "feature. " As if any woman of 18 ever failed to reel off a few millimeters of rhyme ! One department editor has improved upon the old saying that "Beneath the rule of one entirely great the pen Is mightier than the sword"by declaring that "In the hands of women born with brains the needle's mightier than the paste brush. " Her copy has come In admirably arranged , In good shape for the printer , but where a poor. Ig norant hulk of a newspaper man would have used the paste brush she has taken a needle and thread and has carefully stitched the fragments to the foundation paper. Yet some ono has said that women have no in ventive genius. _ Trllxi of ( ten llnr. A meeting will bo held In Royal Arcanum hall , 1314 Douglas street , this evening at 8 o'clock , to form a court of the fraternal secret society known as the Tribe of Ben Hur. This society Is founded upon the well known book written by General Lew Wallace and was organized by bankers. lawyers and other leading business men of Crawfordsvllls , Ind. , the home of General Wallace. The organizer of this society has been at work In Omaha for the past six weeks and he secured a charter list containing the names of about seventy-five of the leading secret society and business men of the city , and the new court gives every Indication of being one of the strongest In the state. Several courts have been Instituted at various points In Nebraska and the secret work of the society Is very highly spoken of by those who have seen It. In this particular It differs very materially from the majority of fraternal Insurance orders , which rely en tlrely upon the Insurance feature to gain members. Men and women are alike eligible to membership In the Trlbo of Ben Hur , and no distinction Is made In the cost or In any other way. To Ciilebr.ito IKihomlan Day. The people of the Young Men's Christian aFECclatlon have decided to fix upon either May 2 or 3 as Bohemian day.
