PiiNMllil ) n Case of Tinnier ,
The friends of John Sleverson are very
much concernid about his mysterious ub-
Beiiilo. Slcverson Isho proprietor of a
creamery nt Plalnvlew , Neb. On Saturday ,
December 7 , he left the farm of S. Tyndall.
near Weston , In. , to return to Phlnvlew ,
Tyndall Is part own r In the Nebraska croam-
eiy , and Sleverson had visile 1 him to con
sult with him concerning the business.He
had several hundred dollars with him , and
on his return to Omaha he stopped at Hayden -
den Bios , and collected $ CO more. Since
i
then all trace of him ha ? bon lost. IPs
I paitners and frlemh' at IMalnvlsvv supposed
he had prolonged his st.iy nt TyndulPu , with
whom ho lias been on terms of Intimacy for
a } ear. and It was only yesterday when the
ttlfgrnph was brought Into requisition that
It was discovered that lie was at neither
lilac ? , His friends are positive that he has
lioe.n the victim of foul play. Ho had leased
the creamery for five > cars and wa-i doing a
very prosperous business. A telegram from
tht.ro last night stated that It had been dis
covered that Sleverson owed several largo
bills there , but his business Interests were
far more valuable than the aggregate amount
of his debt i. He Is n } nung man about 27
jcars old , said to be of good moral character
and free from bad hablu.

i The seem of Trlday n'ght'g fire was vis-
I I'tcl by larg" numbers nt people yesterday.
i There were plenty of perple vvho declared
I that Mayoi Cleaver and his retrenchment
policy were responsible for the enormous
low , but It wag n noticeable fact tint those
I who were loudc t In their denunciations of
the present policy of the council w re mem-
(
, berg of the opposite political faith. Mayor
i Cleaver was seen jc'terday end had already
| heard , apparently , what hard things were
bclni ; alil .iboul him , even U ° fore he was In
formed by the newspaper man ,
"The lire department Is largo enough , "
was his reply to n question. "List night's
developments neve not changed my opinion
In the least At a time like tlut every
citizen should be a member of the depart-
I men ) , and any man who would rcftu ° to 1-iul
a hand nt Mich an emergency ought to bs

pit tlni ; on a lot of st > le on other people's
mnnty. As long as 1 hava any say In the
matter there will not be any Increase In the
slo of the fire department until the state
of our finances Justifies It. "
Considerable dcubt was expressed as to
the ability of a flru department of any size
to bring about a different result Alt the
plugs In the vicinity were In use , and If
there was n weak point anywhere It was In
the presburo furnished by the water works
rompanv Chief Tcmpleton states that the
pressure was good , CNceptlng at the begin
ning of the file. The first thing done after
the arrival of the department was to fasten
a couple of pieces of hose to a hydrant di
rectly In front of the , Deere , Wells & Co
warehouse. At that time the fire was con-
Until to the nmpkle-Shugart building. After
a time- the boat became so great as to burn
off the two lenghts of hose close by the
hdrant. This left two great streams ol
water running Into Iho street , and It was out
of the question for any one to venture near
enough to the burning building to turn off
the wate-r. Finally It stopped running. Yes
terday morning when an examination of the
h > dram was made It was discovered that
the Intense heat had melted the Iron lijdrnnt
nnd closed the orifice through which the
water had flowed. The wasting of so much
water unquestionably took away from the
force of the pressure.
The heat shrivelled the granite paving In
front of the building until it peeled on from
the pressure of horses' hoofs. The following
Is a full list of the companies In which the

The estimates of losses have not been
obliged from those published yesterday mornIng -
IngAt
At 1 o'clock yesterday morning another
large- chunk cf the south wall of the Deere-
Wells building fell , but by that time the fire
had bEcn gotten under control sufficiently that
the wind could not do further damage. About
noon the- ruins had been cooled enough so
that nn attempt was made to get Into the
vault. It was found that the door had b en
BO warped by the licit that It would not opn.
A hole was then picked through the masonry
and access to the vault obtained , everything
was In good order , although a little of the
water had penetrated. Thd books were moved
to the first floor of the Snpp building. Into
tlie room formerly occupied by Bcnnlson
Bros. , wheie. . the firm will probably have Us
headquartqers until spring. Mr. Wells could
not sa } } estcrday whether or net the firm
would rebuild , but will have to consult first
with the other members of the firm.
The Welr-Shugart company , which owned
the building occupied by the Combination
Pence works , will not rebuild , for the reason
that the company was organized for a term of
only five } ears , and the five years have been
up for three years. Its affairs are now being
wound up as rapidly as possible. H. H.
Bloomer of the Combination Fence works
states that he himself will rebuild. The loss
fell more heavily on him than any one else
probably , for "no had Just started up , and his
building was fllHl with spring stock
The city lost about 100 feet of hose , and as
this costs $1 a foot the loss 'Is quito n re-
spectdblo one for slye. A part of It v\as
burned off at the hdrant In front of ths
Deere-Wells warehouse , nnd the rest by
being dragged over the almost red-hot pave
ment. _

Par three weeks a number of Council

Lake Manina hive been spending their days
In law Ing and their nights In worrying to
determine concerning rights and titles. C.

company , Tom Sklnn r. Hiram Bell , Theodore
Butchelor , Colonel P. N. Used , Ben Marks ,
and J. N. Casady , Lefferts , who acquired a
Ibt cf property In Sarpy county , has claimed
that by the fickleness of the Missouri a
goodly amount of Like Manivvu property be
longed teally to him by the law of accretions.
Judge Ambrose lisa been hearing the case ,
and yflor jy morning rend red his decision ,
which was to the. effect that all the land
Involved , except that claimed by Skinner ,
Bell und Batchelor , was "In placs , " and not
accreted. In regard to the property claimed
by Skinner , Bell and Batchelor , that was
dlffeient again A part cf that was Ih : re
sult of aecretlon. Those three , unlike the
other defendants In the suit , do not rest tholr
claims on f o title , but rather on the right
jy possession , having been In undisputed
occupation of the land for ten years or
more. The court , In deciding that part
of their land Is accreted , does not pass
upon the question of ownership , but has left
that open for furthir uigument , to be made

The art department of the Woman's club
entertained Its friends at the club rooms
yesterday afternoon from 3 to 5 In a charm
ingly hospitable and informal manner.
The occasion of an Invitation at this time
was the hanging of a number of new , Braun ,
carbon photographs , which the department
has Just secured for the decoration of the
dub rooms.
The reception committee , which consisted
of Mrs. Keysor , Mrs. and Miss Ilartvvcll ,
Miss Mack , Miss Davis and other members of
the department , added more to the grace and
beauty of the scene than even the cheerful
copies of the great musters The rooms wro
prettily decorated with palms and bouquets
of pink roses At either end of the room was
the generous punch bowl , from which was
ETved a refreshing but nonsplrltuous punch.
Mrs. Stelger , Mrs. Barkalow , Mrs. Pavne and
others serving nt different hours The new
pictures were much admired , and the perfect
ta to exhlbltled In the selection of frames
elicited much comment.
A picture of the cathedral of Amiens , which
Is hung In one of the pirlors. Is said to be a
fine portraal of the Gothic architecture.
Another cathedral photo , tint of St. Mark's ,
shows the blending of the architectural idei
of the Goth and the Saracen.
Among the prettiest pictures , at least to
the untrained ee , arc the "Madam Le Braun
and Her Daughter" and "Mrs. Slddons , " by
Gainsborough ; "The Children of Christ , " by
VanDyke ; "Anne of Austria , " by Rubens ,
and "The Burgomasters , " by Rembrandt , are
Interesting examples of the northern art ,
upon which the depaitmcnt Is now spending
its time.
Raphael's "Hours , " with which many be
came somewhat acquainted by means of the
first stereoptlcon lecture In November , Is
hung appropriately near to Guldo's "Aurora. "
Coregglo's "Holy Night. " Murlllo's "Im
maculate Conception. " and Ghlbertl's "Bronzo
Gates , " which Angclo said "was fit to be the
gites of Paradise , " complete the Interesting
collection. The .reception was largely at

NEW YORK , Dec. 14. The Pacific Mall-

purposes. The contracts aio being printed
today and will be signed on Monday , Tha
term Is for three years , with the option on
behalf of the Pacific Mall of an additional
two } ears If deslrc-d after the expiration of
the original contract. The arrangement pro
posed provides for a solid line between New
York and San Francisco , t'.irough tlio com
bined facilities of both companies , the Pan
ama railroad and the Pacific Mall company on
thePacific. . This restores tlio arrangements
of several years ago. The- agreement dos
not Involve n pooling contract. The negoti
ations thus concluded by th ? formal ratifica
tion of the boards of directors of the re
spective companies lias ben well spun out
until Wall street was tired , They were at
tended by violent fluctuating In Pacific Mall
Etcck ,
The origin of the dispute was the belief on
the part of the Panama railroad people , whose
property Is owned In France by fiio liquida
tors of the unfortunate Panama canul , that
the road was simply a catspaw In the hands
of the Southern Pacific railway Interests , The
latter controlling the Pacific Steamship com
pany did not se ° k to make It profitable , but to
prevent competition.
Preildent Huntlngton did not arrive In time
for the meeting of his directors.

the dealeis In and owners of railway securi
ties here and In Europe. Accordingly the re
port of Secretary Carlisle Is anxiously

no legislation materially affecting our mon
