long before the sad cortege arrived from
the house and all of the adjoining streets
wcro crowded with vehicles of every de
scription , livery hack and livery ilg bad

even been necessary to call upon South

demand for carriages
The services at the church commenced nt

Owing to the great number In attendance
considerable tlmo vvns consumed In getting

wns freely expressed that It was the largest
funeral over tccn In this city-
Hut for the heroic action of Officer ndghlll
of the police force an nccldcmt would ha\f
happened which promised to add to the
already long list of casualties with which
Omaha has been nllllcted Just as the line
was forming , when the hacks had passed ,
nnd while the Immense number of private
conveyances vvcro crowding the Intersection
ot nighteenth and Cumlng street ! . , each
seeking to get In line abend ot the others ,
n team of horses attached to a light spring
wagon vvns neon tearing down Cumlng street
from the west. The alarm was quickly
given , and then ensued a frantic scramble
to get out of the way Women commenced
scieamlng , horses snorted nnd danced nbout
nnd men Jumped from the buggies and car
riages to grasp the bits of their naring
Bleeds Huggy wheels creaked as others
barked Into thorn , nnd confusion reigned
By this tlmo the runaways had reached
Nineteenth street , nnd a horrible accident
seemed unavoidable , when Olllcer ndghlll ,
who was on Cumlng street just enst of
Nineteenth , rushc > d into the street and , run
ning nlongsldo the flying tenm , grabbed
the bit of ono of the horses and turned
Ihcm Into the gutter , where they wcro

So far none of those who were Injured in the
Logan wreck have died since their removal
to the hospital. Uut It Is not yet certain that
all will lecovcr Three are still In a criti
cal condition and one or more of them are
likely to die. The three who are most
seriously Injured are Blanche Hcnder ,
Lconaid Mack and Mis Scully. Blanche Hen-
der was more seriously Injured than was re
potted at the time. Uesldcs the Injuries to
her head and chest she suffered a compound
and comminuted fractuio of the right arm
The fracture extended Into both the elbow
and Hhouldcr Joints witli severe injury to
the softer tissues Dr. Galbralth thought
yesterday morning that it was moro than
likely that the limb would have to be am
putated at thu shoulder.
Leonard Mack was slightly better yester
day morning , but has condition Is btill
serious The surgeons believe that ilia
chances for recovery are about evenly
balanced Mrs. Scully passed a br.d
night and her condition Is still
uncertain. Sam Dutson , who had broken
ribs end severe Internal Injuries , Is much
better and his recovery Is probable Mrs
Dutson vas broughtto the hospital Mon
day night , suffering from a severe cacc of
nervous prostration John Schllndler of the
Seventh Ward Military band was also
brought to the hospital Monday night. He
has a broken forearm and brulseti , anil
finally concluded that ho preferred to bo at
the hospital with the rest of the Injuicd
Notwithstanding the Intense heat of yester
day Dr Qalbralth and Assistant Surgeon
Harris of St. Joseph's hospital reported all
the Injured of the I/ognn disaster slowly
Improving las > t night During the entire
afternoon Dr Qalbralth and his assistants
wcro busily engaged In the operating room
attending the Blik With two exceptions all
the patients gave promUu of coming through
the accident with little , It any , after ef
fects
William Summltt of Missouri Valley ,
whoso leg was amputated Just above the
ankle , was slightly feverish yebtcrday , but
the physicians say that Ills general condi
tion la favorable to a bpccdy recovery , taking
Into account the severe operation The aim
of Miss Dlftnchu Hcnder , which EUbtalned
a compound fracture , Is Btill In a somewhat
doubtful condition as regards ampututlon
Everything Is being done In en c dtuvor to
save It , but whether the opormton will be
necessary or not will not bo known until
several days later Thu younj tvunum Is
testing easily at present wi'b very little
pain
J J Fltzglbbon of Logan , who sustained a
broken leg and luit'o cap , besides a badly
bruised face , 1s rapidly Improving and will
expericnic no permanent Injuries Miss Eva
Nk'lson , who complained of Internal pains ,
bas not Improved as rapidly as expected
and , although her general condition at pres
ent Is favorable , It Is possible that she may
bo hurt worse than at first supposed , John
Sblndler , a member of the Seventh Ward
band , who at first supposed bis Injuries
\\ore but superficial and who afterwards
decided to go to the hospital , lias learned
to his soirow that ho possessed n badly
fractured elbow It should bave been at
tended to at once , but having been neg
lected Is now very painful. It Is possible
that the arm may remain permanently stiff
ened.
Miss Cosgrove Is slightly better , but she
will be confined in tbe hospital for a long
period , as her recovery will necessarily , flora

tle S-ycar-old Itobert liuchtel IB regarded by
bit physicians as a wonderfully courageous
ebllil for bl icari. When lie was luiDrii-
oncil In the car alongside his mother ho
commanded the rescuing party to attend her
first. This tbcy did , the boy being removed
afterwards. It was discovered that Ilobert
had sustained a double fracture of the col
lar bone anil a broken ankle. Ho never
spoke as the physicians worked over him and
In the rough trip to this city was not heard
to utter a complaint. When taken In con
sideration that ho bas barely recovered from
n former accident , In which be received a
broken leg , his actions appear all the more
remarkable.
Jeronio A Lllllo , the president of the
Pioneers' association , was feeling badly jcs-
tcrday morning , but no doubts arc entrr-
tallied ot bin recovery. All the rest of the
Injured arc doing nicely , although In mast
cases their Improvement Is slow There is
such a constant stream ot visitors that lir
Oalbralth was compelled to Issue nil order
yesterday morning that the patients rho tl 1
bo kept moro quiet and only veiy Inflnu'o
friends are admitted to see those who a'o
more seriously Injured.
The Injured men nnd women , and more
particularly the members ot the Pioneers'
association , feel very grateful for the kind
ness that bas been shown to them by their
friends , and more especially by the officials
of the Union Pacific rood. This was
feelingly expressed by President Lllllo
yesterday morning "Of course we
are hero In bed , " Paid Mr Lllllc ,
"but we are kept fully Informed by
our brethren ot the association , and we are
keenly alive to all that has been done. We
cannot express our appreciation too forcibly
and vve feel deeply grateful to those who
have contributed to make our suffering
easier to bear We are particularly grateful
to Mr Orr , who took such prompt and
energetic measures for our relict He
woiKC1 un i.\iingly throughout the night
without n moment's rest , perfecting his
plans for taking care of thp Union Pacific
people and he was ably assisted by other
olllclals Dr Oalhrattb was on the ground
with his assistants and Immediately took
charge of the wounded In this he Indicated
not only his ability as a surgeon , but his
exceptional executive abllltv and the smooth
ness and precision with which he carried on
the work saved no little suffering The
services of General Superintendent P J.
Nichols and Assistant Superintendent
Sutherland are also gratefully remembered
and not least In our gratitude aio the people
ot Logan , especially the women , who as
sisted In the work of rescue. "

Cabin company took this city by storm today
and put up one of the best Interpretations
of Mrs Stovvc's famous play ever witnessed
in this locality. The manner of placing
Terry's show upon the boards Ib a decided
Improvement over the clobc atmosphere of
the opera house. The play Is given In a
largo pavilion erected by the company for
that purpose and they carry with them
every convenience that tends to give com-
foit or pleasure to the audience , which was
simply Immense here.
Uncle Tom's Cabin as Interpreted by the
Terry company Is really ot unusual merit ;
aided not a little by the beautiful scenery
which is all new and artistic , as well as
by the bloodhounds , mules and dapple-gray
horses
In their grand street parade today , headed
by thlrtv five beautiful dapple gray horses ,
was to bo seen the only correct model of
tlm log cabin which was shown at the
World's fair , and not far away was that fa
mous Arkansas bloodhound. Jumbo , who cer
tainly deserved all the epithets heaped upon
him as he passed by , for he Is the ugliest
brute that ever lived.

Those Shoes
We advertised as "special" on Monday arc not all
gone yet by any means. There isn't much danger of
their being nil gone for several days to come. It is
not lilce "The Nebraska" to advertise an article as
"special" and have only enough to last a few hours.
People know this and perhaps that's why \vc didn't
sell more than a hundred pairs yesterday when we
ought to have sold twice that number , going by the
big values they arc. It isn't often you have a chance
to buy a satin calf shoe , McKay stitched , with solid
leather uppers and solid leather soles for $1.25 , and
it isn't olten you can find as handsome shoes for
$2 50. That's why we shou'd ' be selling two or three
hundred pairs a day. But there's no hurry. Suit
yourself as to time. Only don't blame us if you
come here in a week or ten days and find every
other fellow's size but yours. We have it today.
Today is a good day to look , even if you don't buy.
