A Baby Burned to Death.

Wednesday seems to have been a day
for fatal burning accidents in this city.
The particulars are published elsewhere
of the fatal burning of Mrs. Alice Tit.
comb on Harney street. Another fright.
full accident of similar nature occurred
on Seward street on Wednesday after.
noon that robbed the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Gretzngcr of their bright lit.
tie daughter, under the most distressing
circumstances. Mrs. Gretzingcr was en-.
gagged in attending 10 her household
duties at her home, 2515 Seward street,
about O'Clock on "Wednesday afternoon,
leaving her little daughter Edna, aged
about three years, at play upon the floor
The mothers attention was attracted
from her work by the child's screams
child's clothes all ablazc. She siezed
a heavy shawl and succeeded IN
extinguishing the blaze, but not until the
poor child had been burned in q fright
ful manner. The flesh on the little girls
right side and arm was burned to crisp.
A physician was summoned and did all
that was possible to place the little suf-
ferer in comfortable condition. MIR.
Grotzinger was absent from home at he
time of the accident and was ain st
craZed when the distressing news reac ed
HIM. The little girl lived until yesterday
when death relieved her sufferings which
must have been intense, indeed. 1t is
supposed that the child had been playing
with matches and caused the accident
that ended her life by striking one of
them which ignited her clothing. The
funeral will take place from the resid-
encc at 9 O'Clock this afternoon.

Army Briefs.

A letter was received at army head
quarters yesterday from Colonel Henry al
Fort Leavcnworth, who says that the De-
partment of the Platte team covered
itself with glory at the recent division
competitor. 1t secured four gold medals,
one silver one and three special prizes.
Three of its men have been appointed to
places on the division team and three on
the army team. This is an unusually
large representation and shows that the
Department of the Platte is-as has often
been asserted-ahead of every other de-
partment in America in point OF mark
manshIp.
A copy of the new circular issued by
the war department and directing the
soldiers how to use their carbines has
been received at army headquarters.

How DIR. iamacciotti Thinks IL is
OCCasioned i'm Omaha


OcCasioned in Omaha.
DR. Ramacciotti, city veterinary, com.
mcnting upon the excitement aroused in
Chicago by the discovery of a single cabc
of glanders, says that that is nothing
compared with the cases which have
been found in this city. Since the doc.
tors semi.annual report to tho council,
in May last, he has visited number of
eases of supposed glnnGCrs, and tenn
called upon by owners of animals to
examine than mt his barn, to see whether
or not the latter were affected with tins
deadly disease. During the month of
June he ordered four horses shot, in July
five, in August four and in the present
month up to last night when the la2t
horse was disposed OF, eleven animals
had been killed. This prevalence issn.
fortunate, rs may be ascribed TO the fact
that many of the veterinary surgeons in
the city do not report eases of CHAMBERS
to him. Many of them are ignorant of
the disease, treat it as distcmper, and
the result is that il spreads us above
shown. A notable exception to these sur.
geons is DIR. Chambers who has reported
several eases which fell under his atten.
ton. Dr. Ramacciottc is paid by the city
to- look after these diseased horses, and
every owner of an animal which is sick
with this malady and every veterinary
who finds one so infected is bound TO
notify the former of the fact. If any
further violations of this rule be found 1t
Is likely that some one will be held re-
sponsible for his dangerous reticoncc,

Looking for Her Husband.

A lady appeared at the police station
yesterday afternoon and sought aid in a
search for her husband, who has been
missing for several days. She gave his
name as Elmer Schindele, and stated
that they came here from Fremont last
week, looking for employment. Her
husband had left the hotel at which they
were stopping on Tuesday morning,
10 get any trace of him.
Another woman arrived at the depot
yesterday morning in response to tele'
gram from her husband. The latter 8
name is Luther Scott, and his address
given in the dispatch was 10 South Fif-
working for the Is. g. Nj. railroad. The
woman's name is Celia Scott, she came
from Ferguson, Ia, and had five little
children with her. OF course she had no
money with her and remained all day at

The hack ordinance seems to be sadly

trouble between passengers and jehus ut

times to blame for frequently they carry
passengers all over town and then only
get pay for an hour at their destination.
Last evening cab driver was hired by Il
sckly looking individual, and after driv-
Ing him all over town, consuming about
two hours, the fellow refused to pay his
proper fare. I his caused war of words
for time at the hack stand, but it seems
there was nothing in the ordinance to en-
able cabby to collect his fare, SO he was
out both time and money.

The buckingham Home,

The following circular has been issued
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union on the work at the Buckingham
home:
To you, Christians and philanthropists of
Omaha, comes this letter, with the greeting
of Good will towards men," II seems lifting
that at this time a statement of the work car
lied on at the Buckingham, in this city, by
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
should be given you.
AT least one of the officers of this organiza-
ton are in each of the churches, whose mem
bers we address to-day, and this may there
fore be regarded as report from your dele
gate. The Buckingham, once a vile place, is
now the gate of Heaven to many who feel
free to attend the meetings there, no matter
what their appearance. Even people through
out the state who know of the work, remon-
strate when the idea is suggested of giving
up the work. Some parties have recently
wanted the premises for the purpose of again
opening variety theater.
The regular Sunday and Tuesday evening
meetings are strictly religious, and while the
pledge of total abstinnnce is presented at all
times, it Is a stepping upwards to a Christian
life, which Is the aim OF the whole work.
The Sunday attendance ranges from sixty to
100. On Thursday, p. M, the w. g. L. u.
hold their weekly prayer meeting, and men
have often entered to ask for prayer. The
Tuesday and Saturday evening meetings are
conducted by the Reform Climb, and while
opened by reading of scripture, singing and
prayer, are more distinctivcly temperance
than gospel meetings. The object of the
Saturday evening meetings being to enter
tain Young men,
At all hours of the day and night men or
women, boys or girls, have gone there for
help, or been taken there by the police or
friends to be cared for. Surely, ii for no
other reason, the safety of our homes de-
mands earnest effort for the redemption of
the drinking and criminal classes When
their cry goes up to God: IN o man cared for
nv soul" can we answer the Judge with
Gains question: 'Am l my brothers
keeper%' This multform work, including
the most severe and thankless labor of col
lecting money for expenses has devolved
upon three or four persons, and larsely upon
two, and they are physically unable longer
to carry the burden. The rent, fuel

THEY STRUCK THEMSELVES OUT.
Forty Strikers Lose Their Jobs at the
New Foundry.

There was an inclpient labor trouble at
the new foundry of Usher & Russell in
Bedford place Yesterday morning. The
firm has been employing about forty men
and doing rushing business for newly
located establishment. For some time
they have been having more or less
trouble with one of their workmen, fell
low named Kinney, who has been trying
to run the business for the firm, as is al
legged. The mans manner finally made
him an undesirable person to have in the
the foundry, and on Wednesday evening
he was informed that his services were
no longer required. Kinney seems to
have some hold upon his fellow work
men and succeeded in getting them so
worked up over his discharge that when
the hour came to begin work yesterday
morning the forty men presented them
selves in body and refused to do any
work unless Kinney should be reins,ated.
The employers politely but firmly dis
ploy and in less than an hour had their
places filled with workmen at an ad-
vanced scale of wages. The turn of af-
fairs was an unexpected one to the
strikers and they ut once set about to re-
sist it. They formed in groups and by
threats and coaNing endeavored to get
the new men 20 quit work. Failing
in this they threatened to force
the new men from their position. The
proprIetors soon stopped any such work,
however, by telephoning to the city mar
shal who sent Officers Rowles and
O'Grady to the scene to preserve order
and protect the property of the foundry
men. Everything moved along quietly
after the arrival of the officers, although
number of the strikers hung around the
foundry all day, with no apparent good
object in view No further trouble is ex-
pected.

some jamaica ginger, and essence Of
cinnamon. After buying a box contain
ing, as they supposed, some half dozen
bottles Of each, they resumed their way
and began merrily drinking of their new
refreshments, but o to their horror,
they discovered that some of the crowd
had been drinking laudanum instead of
jamaica ginger or essence Of cinnamon.
Upon making this discovery, the more
