POLICE MArrrRs.-Three men who

POLICE MATTERS. -Three men who
loved " fusil oil'' better than bread,
were arrested by the police on Saturday
night, for drunkenness, and accommo-
dated with lodgings in the lookup
Yesterday morning they were taken be-
fore Justice Furman, who was of course
compelled to discharge them.
Yesterday afternoon, two or three
drunken men went down Elizabeth ave-
nue., reeling and staggering, and desc.
Grating the day by singing ribald songs,
As soon as Chief Keron heard of the
disorder, ne started in pursuit, over
hauling the rowdies ut " Gary Head.
The characters were dumped into wa
gon and conveyed to the lookup, and
this morning permitted to go on their
way. Council should impose a fine of
ten dollars, for wanton breaches of the
public peace, and then we should have
fewer Disturbances aud drunken brawls.
As the law now stands, there is but lit
tie dread for man who loves whisky
better than law and order.
For some time past certain parties,
who seem not to have the fear of God
or man before their eyes, have on the
Sabbath day disturbed the peace Of the
Second ward by indulging in games of
ball Complaint having been entered,
a posse of nine officers lin citizen
dress were yesterday afternoon dis
patched by the Chief to break up this
nice little arrangement. We under
stand that orders have been issued for
the arrest of any and all parties who
may hereafter be found violating the
Sabbath day in any manner whatever,
and that all will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Law and order men will sustain the
police and award them due credit for q
faithful discharge of their every duty
in this regard.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES YESTERDAY.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES YESTERDAY.
The religious services in the several
churches were largely attended yester-
day, thanks to the sunshine and the
warm air. In q number of the churches
the services were of deep interest.
At the Broad Street Baptist Church
in the evening, large congregation
was in attendance, it having been an
nounced that number of persons
would be immersed DR.. Miller preach
ed both morning and evening. The
pews Of the church are to be rented this
week-and the Treasurer may be found
at the church on this afternoon and al
so on Saturday afternoon next, from 5
to o'clock for that purpose. The new
Sunday School room of this church
was dedicated with appropriate cere-
monies yesterday afternoon-the build
ing being crowded. Mr.. Frederick
Foster is the Superintendent, and we
should Judge him to be a live officer -
the right man in the right place. A
number of interesting addresses were
made.

MIsCHEyOUs.-A number of small
boys, whose ages range from 10 to 10
years, are in the habit of playing daily
in the neighborhood of the market, and
i'll the vicinity of the coal and wood
yards along the creek in the Fourth
ward. On Saturday evening, several of
these boys climbed into the cellar Of the
old building on the corner of Elizabeth
avenue and Market street, and discov-
ering the escape of gas from q broken
pipe, ignited the same, and finding
that they could not extinguish the fire,
which was endangering the building,
they left i'll q precipitate manner, and
so much frightened that they were una
BILE to give the alarm.
In the meantime, smoke was discov-
cred issuing from the cellar windows,
and the alarm sounded, but before the
arrival of the. engines, the flames had
been extinguished by Mr.. Lyons, Mr..
Nathaniel Green, and other members of
No. 1 engine company, who were pass
ing at the time Had it been an hour
later, the building, which is wooden
structure, would doubtless have been
destroyed.
The two boys were subsequently al
rested.
P. S. The boys were committed to
jail, to await a further hearing. 1t now
appears that they maliciously cut both
the gas and water-pipos in the liar,
and that their e1rand was one of pure
mischief.

Dea~ An experiment will be made in
II few days on the Erie Railway with Il
new brake for stopping cars, which if
successful, will be worth fortune to
the inventor. 1t is on the atmospheric
pressure principle, applied direct to
each wheel, and being under the con-
troll Of the engineer on the locomotive,
the necessity of brakemen on the train
is entirely obviated. 1t is claimed that
the resting power is sufficient to stop a
heavy train going at high rate of
speed, within very short distance,
and with no perceptble jarring effect.

on Saturday evening, and every one
seemed happy and contepted. Our

people quit the bad practice of going

EXCITING TIMES In OMAHA.


The Taylor House COnAsgrstion.
The Taylor House. at Omaha, was dis,
covered to be on fire at Ii * O'Clock Sun
day night, Ang. l. The Herald says
The inmates of the house, consisting
of Col. j. R. Taylor, the proprietor, his
mother, his wife and six. children, and
Maj. Virgins and wife, had long pre-
viously retired to rest, but the faithful
hostler soon reused them from their slum,
bers. Without waiting to secure anys
thing but enough to clothe their persons,
the family were urged by Col. Taylor
to leave the house at once, while he and
his son-in- law, Maj. Virgins, would look
to saving what effects they could. The
family succeeded in getting out, but, af-
ter reaching the yard, Mrs. Taylor, the
Colonsl's mother, lady upwards of
eighty years of age, excited beyond de-
scription by the scene, entered the house
in search Of, as was ascertained after
ward, bed quilt which she had had in
her possession for near forty years. She
was soon missed, and as the flames had
by this time enveloped the entire edifice,
the utmost alarm was at once felt by the
whole family for her safety. All were
for the moment paralyzed with fear, but
the necessity for immediate action was
indeed pressing, and efforts were at once
made to rescue her. Mrs. Taylor, the
CelonePs wife, at the risk of her life, en-.
tered the building and carried the old
lady out in her arms.
In from twenty to twenty-five min
utes from the time the cry Of fire was
first raised, the building was one mass
of roaring, raging flames, lighting up the
thick oVerhangiDg clouds for miles in all
directions.
1t being so far from town, the fire ap.
paratus could not render any assistance
and the flames necessarily had their own
way, the slight rain falling at the time
having no effect. The building was en-
tirely destroyed, together with everything
it contained, furniture, clothing, jew elry,
etc. The members Of the family were
left with absolutely nothing but the few
articles they had on, hastily put on for
their hurried escape, and Col. Taylor
himself actually had to walk to town
yesterday morning barefooted. The
billiardsroom and stables were saved
through the exertions of Capt. Munson
and guard Of the barracks, Lieut.. Fitz-
gerald, Lieut.. Irgens, Mr.. Anmuck and
family, Capt. Edward Patrick, Mr..
Myers and others, who will please accept
the thanks of the Colonel and his
bereaved family for their kind efforts.
