INDIAN PRISONERS.
Forty of Them Domiciled in the Kings
 County IN. Y.) Penitentiary.

Sohht} A-fs H. T
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Forty Indians. nearly all full blooded, became resi- dents of the Kings county peniten- tiary yesterday, to remain for periods of from five to twenty years. Their home is in the Indian territory. They belong to many tribes, but the most dangerous among them are members of the Navajo and Black Feet. They were convicted at Paris, Tex. of va rious crimes, principally horse-steal- ing, felonious assault and manslaugh- ter
 The jail in Paris would not hold them over night without guard of soldiers. To keep them locked up un- der such circumstances would be very expensive, and Uncle Sam sent them to Brooklyn, agreeing to pay for the SUD- port of each Indian 100 per cent. more than it costs to take care of the Kings county criminal.
 The Indians objected to having their hair cut. but only one or two made any trouble. Sabado Nuntotree. known in his own country as Eye of the Blazing Sun, refused to sit in the barbers' chair, and told Warden Hayes in fine Navajo dialet that he preferred death to losing his locks. It took four keepers to hold him in the chair while the barber cut off his flowing locks.

 BosroN, Jan. 2.-Five alarms in quick succession from the special box at tached to the Globe theater soon after 1 o'clock this morning caused great eN- citement all over the city; and when the firemen reached the building they quickly saw that they had big Joo on their hands. The fire originated in the cloak room of the theater in some, at present, unexplained manner, and its spread was most rapid. The entrance and lobby of the theater are in the middle of large block bounded by Washington street, Essex street, Hayward place and on the rear by the Harrison-avenue extension. On the side of the Globe entrance at the Washington-street front on the north is large six-story building just com pleted, but not at present occupied, while on the south. or Essex-street side. are the large buildings occupied by Robert T. Almy X Co.,, clothing dealers, Bryant & Stratton's Commer- cial college and various other tenants To the rear of these building, running back to the Harrison-avenue extension, is the theater proper.
 Before the third and fourth alarms were given the entire center ot the theater seemed one mass of flames, while the great clouds of smoke and showers of sparks betoken the terrible force that was at work underneath. Soon after the fourth alarm was sounded the flames burst through the Washington-street front of the theater entrance and rapidly licked up the ornamental woodwork of which it was composed.
 Occasionally, as the fire in the in- terior came in contact with calcium or gas tank, an explosion would be heard that made the huge crowd of onlookers involuntarily fall back al- though the ropes stretched by the po- lice had kept them out of danger therefrom. The vast showers of cin- ders that continually ascended from the burning theater and fell thickly upon the surrounding buildings, threatening them also in a most alarm ing manner.
 Until 2:30 a. m, it was feared that the fire would sweep across Hayward place, the slight wind being in that direction. At that hour the outlook had changed and it was thought the fire could be kept within the limits of the block in which it originated. The theater itself is practically ruined and while the buildings that face Wash ington street are uninjured on their fronts, the roofs of all of them have been practically burned.
 Hanlon Bros. ''Superba" was occu. pying the house and their properties were saved with great difficulty.
 The six-story building at the corner of Washington street and Hayward place is owned by the Harvard college trustees. The fire is still burning fu. riously. but it is believed that it will not spread further. No accidents have yet been reported, and it is impossible to esta blish the losses at this time. sMr. Johnson is the owner of the store.

BrILDING-LOIN NOTES.

Over 400 shares of the fortieth series of
the Omaha have been subscribed to since
the LIST of March.
Mr.. Adolph Meyer has been chosen presi-
dent and Mr.. G. M. Natt!nger secretary of
the Mutual of Omaha.
A branch of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen Building and Loan association
has been organized in Hebron.
Notwithstanding the business depression of
1873 Nebraska associations increased their
assets $3.50, 439. The total on the last day of
the year was SO, 500, 096. The figures attest
the growing popularity OF cooperative home
building in the state.
1t is worthy of note, as illustrating the
power OF the press, that The Omaha Bee.
the Chicago Tribune, the New York Sun and
the Philadelphia Ledger attacked on Mon
DAY last the action of the senate subcom-
mittee in striking out the house clause ex-
empting associations from the income tax.
The bill was reported by the full committee
to the senate on Tuesday with the ex-
emption clause restored. While such recip-
rocal relations exist between the lawmakers
and the organs Of public opinion the country
is safe. ~ &" y
What is regarded as an extraordinary de-
cisiOn was rendered by the circuit court of
Missouri last week. The Western Union
Building and Loan association had been
looted by its secretary, one Bowers, and
went into the hands of u receiver. The re-
ceiyer applied to the court for an order
compelling borrowing stockholders to nay the
balance of their loans in full, despite the
contract requiring payments on the Install
ment plan. The opinion is as follows.
l.. The insolvency and assignment of a
building and loan association, incorporated
under the laws of Missouri, works a change
in the status of its members, and affects
their obligations to pay their monthly dues
and other stipends provided for under the
rules and bylaws of such associations.
2. By reason of such an association having
become insolvent and having made an as
signment, the right has accrued to it's as
signee to demand from borrowing stock
holders the immediate and full payment of
the sums of money loaned them respectively
by the association, less all credits to which
said borrowing stockholders are entitled to
have applied on their respective loans, and
said borrowing stockholders are not entitled
to continue to make their ordinary payments
according to the bylaws and the provisions
of their obligations and deeds Of trust as IL
the ordinary course of business of the as
ISOLATION had not been interrupted.
3. Upon liquidating their indebtedness to
the association the borrowing shareholders
are not entitled to have credited upon the
amounts loaned them respectively the sums
paid by them respectively, on account of
their monthly dues on the shares of stock
belonging to them.
4. On liquidating the indebtedness of the
borrowing shareholders they are entitled to
have credited upon the amount of their in
debtedness the sums al by them on account
of premiums and interest on each payment
of premium from time of payment to time
of settlement at same rate of interest per
annum as the borrower has been paying
the association on the money loaned him by
the association. o- 81

Punishment of Edward Collins for the MUIR
der of Louis McPherson.
Edward J. Collins. the man who murdered
Louis Mcpherson at Valley, now knows his
fate, and also knows that he will spend the
remainder Of his natural life within the walls
OF the penitentiary, as a life sentence was
imposed yesterday afternoon by the Judge Of
the criminal section Of the district court.
At the present term OF the district court
Collins was tried and convicted OF murder
In the second degree. His attorney at once
filed a motion for a new trial, which motion
was argued and overruled yesterday. After
the disposition OF this motion Collins was
told to stand up, and moving to a position
in front Of the judge. he leaned one arm
upon the desk. placing the hand of the other
arm in his pocket. Nervous and pale, he
listened to the sentence. In passing upon
the case the court stated that he was salts
fled that the verdict Of murder in the second
degree was fully sustained by the law and
the evidence. Had the verdict been murder
In the first degree the court thought that
1t even then would not have felt like dis
turbing the finding OF the jury. There were
no mitigating circumstances connected with
the commission of the crime, and it was a
case of apparent malicious murder.
After being sentenced Collins was re-
manded to the county Jail, where he will re-
main a few days before being taken to the
penitentiary, there to start upon his life
sentence.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Protest Against Paving of Country Roads is
of No Effect.

Protest Against Paving of Country Roads Is
of No Effect.
At a meeting of the county commissioners
yesterday afternoon the members turned
down the gentlemen who had filed a protest
to the paving of the three country roads.
Some time ago W.. e. Clark and forty-four
other property owners entered a protest
against the expenditure of the $3.50, 900 of
road improvement bonds, claiming that the
time was not right for the paving of the
roads. Yesterday the protest was disposed of
by being consigned to the files of the board,
the members holding that when the bonds
were voted a large majority of the electors Of
the county, by their ballots decided that
they were in favor of the improvements
being made; that there remained nothing for
the commissioners to do but to carry out the
wishes of that majority.
Again the claim of William Carr was re-
jected. Carr was the contractor who graded
South Thirteenth street, and after complet-
ing the work he presented a claim of $4,000
for overhaul. This was rejected and after
wards he brought suit to recover the amount.
The case was on trial, but the jury failed to
agree.
Yesterday Carr presented a communication
to the board, in which he stated that he
would settle and pass receipts If the county
would pay him 81 $50. or one-half Of the
claim. The proposition was rejected. the
MEMBERS holding that they had paid the
claims according to the contract and that
there was nothing due.
By the adoption of a resolution, offered by
Mr.. Williams, guide boards were ordered
placed at the intersections of the principal
roads in the county. On each board there
will be a finger pointing to the. nearest town,
together with figures designating the dis
lance. The resolution provides that the cost
of these boards and the cost of setting them
shall not exceed 5000 in the aggregate.

TILES OF

Some of the men who were here attend
ing the conference with Mr.. Clark are among
the Oldest on the Union Pacific system and
they tell some very interesting stories Of
their experiences in the early days on the
western end of the road. A snow blockade
even at the present time Is not a thing to
be courted, but in the good old days when
the only way to clear the road was by
"bucking' the snow with the old fashioned
snow plows. and when it got too deep and too
hrmly packed for that, to take out a shovel
brigade and clear the way, it was still worse.
Sometimes when the snow was light and the
wind high the cuts would fill up again al
most as fast as the men could shovel them
out. One of the worst times the road ever
experienced was In the winter of 1872. Al
that time Conductor Brophy and his string
of freight cars were showed in at Red
Desert and 1t was twenty-eight days before
they were dug out. During the same snow
storm n freight train in charge of Conductor
Mills was shut in by the snow for two weeks
at a point twenty miles west of Rawlins.
These are only a few of the many instances
of trains being showed in for weeks at a
time, and IL anybody thinks 1t is a picnic
to be buried under the snow for a few weeks
at II time in the midst OF what was then
only a wilderness of sage brush, the railroad
ers are of the opinion that such an individual
isn't well equipped mentally. Following this
big storm came a warm spell that melted

washouts that again tied up the road rora9
considerable time.
In the good old times OF the long ago, Z"
said an old Union Pacific man the other
night, there wasn't any very great variety
OF amusement TO be had out on the western
end Of the road. Playing poker, bucking
the tiger, springing practical Jokes on one
another, going hunting, q shooting scrape
once In a while to add spice to the monotony
OF the life and an occasional danca about
completed the repertoire of amusements.
The last named was by far the stellar event
Of the society season. Swallow-tailed coats,
patent leather slippers, kid gloves and a
carriage were not necessary adjuncts OF
even the most swell AFFAIR. About the only
requirements were a roof to cover them,
some one who could play the fiddle, no mat
ter how indinerently. and a man with a
pair OF leather lungs to call on loud
enough TO be heard above the din created

which they were sent back to their room

There have been many funny Incidents
In connection with the wage conference,
and particularly the peculiar conditions
under which Overtime" is asked by the
telegraphers.
At a certain station on the Wyoming divi-
sion an operator is employed at a salary Of
$65 per month for looking after the interests
OF the company. The only habitation Is
within ten miles of the station. which in
cludes a living house and tool house. There
are very few trains which pass the station
in question during the day, but sometimes
the operator Is routed out of bed as early
as I o'clock to take a train order, and he
has been known to turn a red lamp as late
as 9 O'Clock at night. For these un-
seemly hours the operator demands
overtime. He does not take into
consideration the hours in the day when he
can 20 shooting or fishing or the idle time
on his hands in which he may raise chickens
or even farm a little. He gets his house
rent free from the company. fuel and oil,
soap, towels, matches, in fact anything the
company has comes to his net as supplies
for the office, and yet he demands Overtime"
or a division of the work.
But the proposition that knocked the spots
off the officials came from an interior Kan
sas point, where the operator has to I'LL the
water tank. Not by hand, by any means;
but he simply starts a fire under the boiler
and then watches the wheels go round as
the steam pump gets In its work. The
operator at this point seeks to have his pay
increased on the ground that he is a skilled
workman in addition to being an operator,
yet it Is in evidence that the telegrapher
has not sent more than twelve messages
in four years. This man gets $50 per
month.
