OMAHA, Jan. 26.-At1 o'clock this morn
ing a fire broke out in Obert, McMahon &
Co.'S wholesale drugstore, and the stock,
valued at $50, 900, is probably a total loss.
It was partially insured. The building is
ruined, and the fire is now in North's res
taurant, which is three-story brick build
ing adjoining. These two buildings are i'll
the center of the Caldwell block, which is
composed of twelve 3-story buildings, oc-
cupied by business houses. The Academy
of Music and a variety theater are in the
enter of the block, and IL feet east of the
fire. The fire is not yet under control,
and is liable to spread east and west in the
block, and if so, will prove very destruc-
tive. The outlook at this hour, 1870, is
not encouraging. Two explosions oc-
Cured in the drugstore. The fire origin
ated in the basement.

Senatorial Matters.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 26.-The Senatorial
contest is growing warm. The Democrats
and anti Monopolists agreed to concentrate
IN Boyd, and tomorrow he will probably
have so votes and may get 60. The policy
of the anti-Monopolists is to force the
Republicans to name a man agreeable to
them. Judge Geo. B. Lake, Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, is now announced
as a candidate for the Senate, and his
friends claim that he will be the compro-
mise candidate.

The Work OF Tramps.

w
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Pop. D.. Wig
CLINTON, ex-Colgressman and attorney for
the railroad company, has returned from
Tehachapi, where he had been Investigate
ter. He expresses the firm conviction,
based on evidence taken at the inquest, and
on additional facts and attendant circum-
stances, that not only was the train start
ed down the grade by tramps, with the
view OF robbery, but that one of the tramps
obtained access to the express car before
the train started, and killed messenger
Pierson with the blow of a Ratchet or some
other weapon. In proof OF this, he cites
the violence that two bodies were taken
from the express car before the flames
reached it. One of them was an unknown
man, and the other hat of Pierson, with a
deep cash across his temple, and no other
injuries on the body.
Preparations for "a Jail Break.
NEVADA, CAL, Jan. 26.-It was discov-
cred yesterday that the prisoners in the
County Jail were preparing for another
Jail delivery. A heavy iron bar, nearly
four feet long, was found secreted in one
of the cells, and an examination disclosed
the fact that the bolts holding the sheet
iron lining of the cells had been pried
out, and the holes plugged with bread.
The ends of the plug being rounded like
bolt heads and then covered with white
wash scratched from the walls. A long
stick, supposed to be used in passing mes
sages and articles from one cell to another,
was found between the mattresses in one
Of the hunks. The prisoners were all
searched, and on one was found a pocket
knife, the blades Of which had been filed
like a saw. 1t is supposed that the bar,
knife, ETC., were passed in through the Jail
windows by accomplices on the outside,
and that Dorsey and Patterson, the Cum
mings murderers, were the instigators of
the job.
An Old Pioneer Killed.
IREKA, Cal, Jan. 26.-James Beveridge,
an old pioneer teamster OF this place, was

Yreka from Redding, and, being thrown
from his wagon, fell on his head, so that

4 TENNESSEE TRAGEDY.
Five Men Killed frOm,a Petty Quarrel
growing out OF n bottle of WHISKY.

CHATTANooGA, Tenn, May 23.-At Hell
enWoed coal mines, on the line OF the Cincin-
natl Southern railroad, terrific double
tragedy occurred late yesterday evening, re-
sultipg in the death of father and son at
the hands of relatives by marriage The
origin Of the difficulty dates back at least
four years, since which time deadly feud
has existed between the families OF Smith
and Cecil. At that time member of the
Cecil family killed the father of the Smith
boys in quarrel. Two years age, at au-
other battle the Smiths killed Two of the
Cecils. Since that time dire enmity has ex-
listed between the two families. Yesterday
evening about dusk they met again, and the
meeting had a terrible result. The three
Smith brothers, Luther, John, aud Thompson,
and John Cecil and his son Riley were en-
gagged in the deadly fusilade. The son, Riley
Cecil, was killed by the FIRST shot that was
fired. The bullet entered his head, and his
death was instantaneous. The father, John
Cecil, bore himself bravely, and fired at least
ten shots before he succumbed to the over
whelmiug odds against him. After heroic
struggle he was finally killed, his body being
literally riddled with bullets, Telegram
we're az once sent for officers, but before they
arrived the Smith boys had escaped. This
makes five men killed from a petty quarrel,
the origin of which was bottle Of whisky.
