THE AUDIENCE CHEERED.
A Sensational Incident at the Funeral
of g. s. SQuires.

of Q. s. SQuires.
CHICAGO, Oct GA sensational incident
happened to-day at the funeral services of G.
S. Squires, who was assistant postmaster at
Chicago for nineteen years. After having
worked his way up from an errand boy in
the postal service, Mr.. Squires was reduced
to a chief clerkship and subsequently sus-
pended. His friends claim that he died of a
broken heart. The funeral took place with
high Masonic honors in the Emanuel Baptist
church, one of the most prominent congrega-
tions in the city. The church was crowded
to overhowing. DR.. Lorimer pronounced the
eulogy, and his eloquence had already greatly
wrought the audience, when he SAID ~ see
in the dead before me the arraignment Of the
civil service. think rs he lies there he de-
clares the failure Of the system. Our ideal is
still beyond our intellect, nor will justice and
purity prevail in the civil service until pre-
ferment shall be given upon scale Of talents
and fitness" There was moment of silence,
and then the big church rang with an
understandable outburst of applause.
Knights Templar in regala and plain
business men alike excitedly shouted their
approval Notwithstanding the sacred sur
roundings and the presence of the dead. DR..
Lorimer besought order, saying: "Not
here, not here" but adding: 'Had this
loved aud lovaDle man his just deserts he
would still be actively among US, or we
would have been mourning for the dead
postmaster of Chicago, ana not clerk of
the registry department" SO intense was
the agitation of the audience it was with
difficulty that the church could be cleared.

BY the Plug Hat Brigade.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 22.-After ad-
dressing the commercial travellers Saturday,
General Harrison announced to his friends
that he would deliver 40 more speeches dur
ing the campaign. The same evening tele-
gram was received from Springfield, o.,
stating that the plug hat brigades of that
city desired to be received to-day. They
were informed that General Harrison would
probably not address them ana replied that
they would come anyhow, and 100 of them
arrived in the city early this morning, fol-
lowed by 900 more at o'clock this after
noon. The ram intertered materially with
the street parade, but they made credta-
BILE appearance with several fine bands.
Shortly after I o'clock they were received
at Tomlinson hall by General Harrison.
Each Of the 1000 visitors wore a
white plug hat and as General Harrison en-
tered the hall every man Jumped up and
stood on his chair and frantically waved his
plug hat in one hand and a flag in the other.
About four thousand people were present
The demonstration lasted several minutes.
General A, S. Bushnell, of Springfield,
spoke briefly for the Buckeyes and General
Harrison responded. At the conclusion of
General Harrison's speech General Bushnell
presented him with highly polished horse
shoe, manufactured from American steel by
S. B. Thomas formerly an English
man. Repeated calls for Thomas brought
tnat gentleman out ana there was another
prolonged demonstration as General Harri-
son cordially clasped his hand and said: II

and industry of one who out of his own ex-
perience, can speak Of the benefits of the
protective tariff cheers one who sought our
land because it offered better wages and bet
ter hopes cheers, and who, in his life here,

CRUSHED BY A LAND SLIDE.
A Terrible Accident on an Italian
RailrOad. -

ROME, Oct. 22.-A dispatch from Potenza
says that there were 400 passengers on the
train which was crushed by land slide a
few days ago. One hundred and fifty dead
and wounded have been identified. Many OF
the victims are unknown. Scores Of bodies
continue to be unearthed. Soldiers are
working hard at the wreck. The work is
impeded by the cold and snow. An entire
theatrical company was killed. Several
headless and armless corpses have
been found in n neighbOring
river. A mother who had been
driven mad by the catastrophe re-
fused to release from her embrace
her two dead children. A young priest was
buried for two hours, and when extricated it
was found that his hair had turned white.
An entire family. consisting of six persons,
was killed. Two carriages, in which were a
company of carabineers sustained no damage,
and the carabineers were able to assist in ex
tracating the victims. All of the officials at
tached to the train were KILLED. 1t is esti-
mated that 200, 900 cubic metres of earth fell
upon the line. Many of the passengers who
escaped with their lives left the scene imme
dately after the accident, and it is therefore
impossible as yet to tell the exact number

STILL A WHOLE LOAF.
What Omaha viii Get From the Rise
in Flour.

The widespread effect of the recent corner
in wheat on the price of flour and bread, led
to inquiries into the condition of the trade at
this place. 1t was found that there had been
a decided advance in all grades and brands
of flour handled by the Omaha dealers. The
increase has been proportionate to the quail
ity. During the six months preceding
September /, there had been very little fluc
tuation in the rates. Wholesale prices are
quoted as follows: Pillsbury's hest
September %. So per 100 pounds; October %,
81 per 100 pounds.
Washburn's "Supei lative" and Orange
September 22, Blossom, S3 per 100 pounds;
October 90, n per 100 pounds.
Crows Patent, Omaha Mills-Septembe
%, s2.45 per 100 pounds; October %, $3.50
per 100 pounds.
Crows High Patent Omaha Mills-Sep-
tember 90, 81 60 per 100 pounds October %,
S3. IS per 100 pounds.
Common grades have advanced in proper
tion. F'louris selling at retail at from 81 to
81. so in advance of the prices month ago.
"You may say" said one dealer, that the
average advance in the retail prices of -four
has been $l.5O."
No apprecable effect has been felt among
the bakers. The fact that the most exten-
sive baking establishment of the city had a
large supply of -four on hand when the recent
rise occurred, enables them to maintain their
rates unchanged. The margin of profit for
the smaller bakeries that buy their flour
from week to week is consequently little or
nothing, There has been no advance in the
price of bread, and thus many households
are now using bakers bread as a measure of
economy.
HAS there been any reduction in the
weight of the loaves!n was asked of one
baker. ...t
'No, there is an ordinance providing that
every loaf shall weigh sixteen ounces, so we
have no recourse. At present. our profits are
simply nothing, but we have to sell at the
same rates the larger dealers establish"
What has become of your bakers union9"
"Oh, that has virtually gone to pieces
There are too many petty bakeries that are
seeking to prey upon each other. AT present
the union consists Of three large baking es-
Establishments, all the others make no preten-
sion toward acting with it,"
The flour dealers were unit in the opin-
ion that the present rates would vary but
little during the season, that is until after
the prospects of the next wheat crop become
apparent. The slight variations in the quo
tations of Friday and Saturday are at
tributed wholly to speculative deals.
On the whole the effect of the recent deal
on the various related interests here Is that
it has about doubled the price Of flour, and
that while the price of bread remains the
same, with the next considerable purchase
of -four made BY any one of our larger bak-
ing houses, there will be marked rise in the
price of bread.

A MORNING BLAZE.
Two Horses and Other Property Con-
sumed sby Flames.

AT 2:3O o'clock this morning an alarm of
fire was turned in from Thirteenth and Chi
cago streets. The blaze was in barn
owned by Timothy Kefiey and occupied by
Kelley and Moses ''Sthwartz. Six horses
were in the barn atlthe time, and by hard
work on the part Of the firemen four were
rescued. The remaining two were stationed
in the stall adjacentfo the origin of the fire,
and were literally burned to crisp. The
horses burned werethe property Of Schwartz,
who is a teamster residing in the immediate
vicinity, ana who eaH i'll afford to stand
the loss. A large quanty of hay in the barn,
together with road Vehicles and harnesses,
We're destroyed, entailfig loss in all of about
5000, with but light insurance. The
fire is supposed to hayes been set by some
body who had soughtaodging for the night
in the building. AZ Imam apparently in a
drunken stupor was seen about the premises
shortly before midnight, and it is thought
that he entered the barn, and either by a
lighted cigar or otherwise, caused the con-
flagratlon. The building which was old and
rickety, was entirely wiped out.

The "Rir D,,ti,,ery" Case.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Oct. 22-TSpecial Telc.
gram to TUE BEE. The decision in the
United States supreme court in what is
known as the "big distlllery casen while re
ceived with interest here, makes no change
IN the status of that institution. Mr.. Kidd I,
who appears as plaintiff IN that case, is a
resident of New York City, but the chief
owners of the International dlstillery are at
Dcs Moines. He voluntarily closed his dis
tilery more than year ago upon terms with
the Western Distllers' Pool association,
which were understood at the time TO be a
compensation of $4,000 year for keeping
his dlstilery clio sed, so that instead of being
closed by prohibition, he in fact closed his
establishment by selling his capacity to the
pool. His distillery has not been opened
since, and there is no distillcry in opera
tion in the state to be affected by
this decision. After the general prohibition
law of 1884 went into effect, the distillery
continued for some time to manufacture alco-
hol chiefly for export The law then per
mitted the manufacture for certain purposes,
such as mechanical, medicinal and culinary,
and may believed that under il the distilery
could not be closed. But about eighteen
months ago certain agent of the Temper
ance alliance, claiming they had evidence 20
show violation of the law applied to the
district court for an injunction to have it
closed. Judge Conrad, who heard the case,
granted the injunction. The case was at
once appealed to the supreme court ana an
Immediate hearing, was granted. This was
in March, 1887, and the case was argued with
great care, the attorney for the dis
tillery relying chiefly upon the claim
that so long as the state permitted the man
ufacture at all, it could not interfere with
that manufacture If the product were in

AS usual in district court on Monday the
call yesterday was long, and the bar was
full OF interested attorneys Many lawyers
are engaged on cases before the supreme
court, and as a matter of courtesy their cases
are passed in the district court If they are
likely to be absent. As a consequence the
assignment is tedious and oft repeated.
Judge Croft took up the case of Carl f.,
Holt VS.. the John Dierks Manufacturing
company. Holt and Dierks were engaged in
making agricultural implements at Council
Bluffs, when they came over to Omaha and
organized the Dierks company. Tue concern
was stocked at Sl50,000, and the plaintiff al
leges that he was to have s31, 800 of the stock
IN consideration of his interest in the plant
at the Bluffs and in several patents. He also
alleges that he was engaged as superintend-
ent at IA salary of 800 a month, and
worked nine months, but received only
$500 He alleges that he received no
stock as agreed and he wants Judgment for
5000. The attorney for the defense, who
represented the Omaha creditors of the de-
funct company, stigmatized Holt and Dierks
as two schemers who had come over to
Omaha and gulled its business men into sub
scribing for stock and giving them credit
Dierks, he said, is a big, fat, pompous gen.
teman, very sleek of manner, who would
fairly talk hen off her nest. The attorney
had no objection to Mr.. Hollis having $685.,
100000 of the stock, as it was worthless, but
he objected TO judgment that would COM
plicate the claims of Omaha creditors.

Opera House.
A numerous audience saw Miss Jarbeau at
Boyd's last night as Carlotta in the musical
comedy of starlight" and manifested in
the most cordial way its appreciation Of the
unique and exceedingly pleasing entertain
ment. The comedy is a rich medley of the
funniest possible incidents, droll situations,
and musical features, most of which
are of superior merit and
all of which are most acceptably
rendered. Miss Jarbeau is "a commedenue
of sterling merit in the class of work cut out
for her in this production. She is vvacous
to degree, is rarely in repose, sings ex
ceedngly WELL and is altogether most
charming actress. She is surrounded by a
company of exceptionally good people who,
In their several specially features, are above
criticism. Alonzo Hatch, Harry Clark,
Martin O'Neill and Harry Standish are capi-
tai in their respective parts, while the ladies
of the company are personally at
tractve and do what is assigned tn
them neatly and pleasantly. The
best features of the entertainment had to be
repeated again and again, and one of the
chief successes was tho topical song of Miss
Jarbeau, in which she introduced number
of local hits that were enthusiastically re-
ceived. She was made the recipient of
several floral offerings. "Starlight' is
clean, neat and very amusing production,
and its remaining performances at the opera
house ought to be generously patronzed.
