A NEW DEPOT.
The Omeha People Will at
Once Troublesome Future
Plans.

superintendent Spencer, of the
Omaha road, stated this morning that
a new freight. depot will at once be re-
built on the site of the sOld one
which burned Tuesday evening A
force of workmen began this morning
to clear away the charred remains of
the old structure which was land
mark for so many years. AS soon as it
is done rebuilding will be commenced.
Mr.. Spencer says the business at
this point has long demanded better
and larger building than the old one,
and the new depot will be frame
32X100 feet, with more office room
than before. 1t will be built in such
a way that it can be easily removed to
another locality should it be decided
that different one is wanted. Speak
ing on the subject that some of the
business men had thought the
company might rebuild further up
town, Mr.. Spencer said the idea was
not a new one but the time had not
yet come for that. He limited at a
union passenger depot and stated that
he believed the interests of the city
and of the railroads would undoubt-
edly demand a Capitalization of the
terminal stations nearer the heart of
he city, and the new depot will be
constructed with that end in view.
In the meantime the freight bust
ness is being cared for in the waiting
room and other places where the cold
cannot affect it.
Mr.. Spencer says the cOmpany's loss
on the depot and on freight in transit
will not exceed SO, 500 which is fully
covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is as much of
mystery as ever. Two barrels of
naptha which had been unloaded on
the north platform Of the depot were
undisturbed when two employees of
the Cassidy Packing Company passed
to unload some boys. Twenty minutes
afterwards the north end of the depot
was wrapped in flames. The idea of
combustion is secuted by Mr.. Spencer.

BREAKFAST IN PED.
This Is the Way In Which to Enjoy the
Height of Luxury.

This Is the Way In Which to Enjoy the
Height of Luxury.
There is nothing which gives one quite
the same feeling of luxury and afflu-
ence as breakfasting in bed-that is,
unless one is forced to do it. Then it
seems merely al annoyance But when
the woman whom unkind fate and do
nestle or business duties usually force
to be up with the lark can lie in bed
and have daintily appointed breakfast
tray brought up to her she feels that
the final joy of sybaritism is hers.
Sunday morning is the best time for
the daughter Of toll to indulge in this
luxurious habit If she is churohgo-
ing woman, she may manage by having
breakfast at 9:45 If she desires to be
both pious and lazy, there are those
who compromise by reading morning
service in bed and their method is per-
haps not to be despised.
The first step toward enjoying this
luxury is to have ones warm bath, hair
brushing and the like. Then slipping
on bath robe or dressing sack, the
seeker after luxury should slip back into
bed, adjust her pillows comfortably and
proceed to enjoy her breakfast. 1t
should be an unusually dainty one and
served with the most appetizing regard
for appearances. The tray should be
covered with a delicately embroidered
cloth. The china pot in which the coffee
comes up should be as pretty as coffee
pots can be, the sugar basin and cream
jug the very perfection Of daintiness.
There should be little glass bowl of
mignonette or violets, or a couple of car
nations, or even some fragrant green
geranium stalks. A bunch of grapes,
duskily purple or pink and opal, coffee
clear us amber and fragrant as only cOf-
fee can be, toast, slice of bacon and
an egg or eggs boiled form a breakfast
fit to serve on the pretty tray
If the woman who breakfasts in bed
will proceed to spend the rest of the
day there sleeping when she can. read
ing a little, entirely undisturbed by the
cares Of her household, she will ward
off the approach of hideous old age half
a decade. Philadelphia Press.

FOR A NEW HOSPITAL
To Be Built BY DrS
Andrews and Wood.
Their Present Office To Be Made
Three Stories High, With an
Addition 32x44-WOrk to Conn
Commence in Early Spring.

Drs. Andrews and Woods are having
plans prepared for new private hos
pital, to be built as early in the
spring as the weather will permit.
1t will occupy the corner of Second
and Cherry streets, including and adj
joining the present two-story An
drews- Wood block.
A third story will be built on the
present building. Adjoining this on
the south an addition of brick 1Sx "A
feet and three stories high will be
constructed, and the whole thrown
into one building virtually. Architect
Thayer, who has the improvement in
hand, will spare no expense in making
the exterior one of extreme and dis
tinctively modern beauty.
The interior will be finished in hard
wood There will be an elevator,
steam heat and electric lights and
gas. The building is to accommodate
thirty or forty patients, although
fifteen or sixteen will be cared for on
the start.
All the sleeping apartments will be
sumptuously furnished. Provisions
will be made for dining-room on the
third floor, with kitchen and range
adjoining, so that the patients may
be accommodated throughout.
"The hospital is to be for our own
use," said DR.. Andrews this morning,
"and will be private in every essen
tial. In contemplating this move we
wish it clearly understood that we
have only words of praise for the
Tourtellotte hospital. But it is
already filed to overlooking and we
have deemed it best to branch out for
ourselves in order to be certain OF ac-
commodation at all times, with the
additional advantage of convenience.
The other physicians of the city will
furnish patients enough to remunerate
Mr.. Tourtellotte, and our absence
will not in the long run make any
particular difference to him. Many
of our patients come from distant
parts Of this state and from Iowa and
Dakota, and at present they are
boarding around in various parts of
the city. They cannot in this way
receive the attention they should
have, and it is with this idea in mind
that we have decided upon building
our own hospital"

TIE END IN VIEW.
Brooklyn Street Car Strike in
the Hands of State Board
of ArbitratOrS.
A COMPROMISE is EXPECTED.
Homestead Employees Meet De-
spite Threats of the Car
negie Company.

BROOKLYN, Jan. lit 10 generally
believed here that the strike Of the
trolley motormen will be settled soon.
From present indications arbitration
will be resorted to to effect this. The
members of the state board of mediation
and arbitration were exceedingly busy
throughout the day. The terms OF the
probable compromise have not yet been
made public, but it is believed that both
the companies and the strikers have
made concessions. The strikers have
expressed their willingness to put
the matter entirely in the hands
of the arbitration board, and stand upon
the decision which may be rendered
provided that the companies will do the
same. The officials Of the companies
have not yet determined upon this
course, but will hold meeting to de-
eide.
Strikers Quiet and Orderly.
The strikers are quiet and orderly now
and only in one instance during the day
did they come in contact with the po-
lice. At Bush street and Flatbush ave-
nue. they attempted to upset car, but
Sergeant Zimmerman drew his revolver
and declared he would shoot the first
man who approached and the crowd
kept back.
The strike was later declared off on the
Franklin avenue trolley line. This line
constitutes what is known as the Brook
lyn City and Newtown Railroad COM
pany, John M. Partridge, president
The settlement was brought about
through the agency of Mayor Schieren
and State Arbitration Commissioner
Feeney. Colonel Partridge says that
this is practically a backdown on the
part of the men, as he has conceded no
pertinent points.

A very pretty wedding took place
at New Ulm, Tuesday afternoon at
five o'clock, the contracting parties

years ago where they made many
friends who will wish them much hap

been prepared and furnished for them.
The marriage ceremony took place in
the Congregational church, followed
by reception at the home of the
bride, The New Ulm ReUie,o has this
to say:
\ "The wedding was bril-
liant affair. the residence being beau
tifully adorned with flowers and the

ly after, a fine lunch was served and
the guests passed the evening with
the happy young couple in unalloyed
10Y and cheer. The young bride is the
popular daughter of DR.. and Mrs. @.
Hirsch and is an accomplished and
estimable young lady in every respect.
The groom is the Well-knOWn assist

sition which he has held long and
with credit. Strict in his habits, &C

INVESTIGATION ADDS HORROR.

Mammoth Heaps of Debris, Charred Re-
mains OF Buildings and Mangied Bodies.
BUTTE, Mon, Jan. ADMINISTRATION
but adds to the horrors of Tuesday
nights terrible accident The brilliant
glare of the skies from the flames of the
burning buildings have passed away,
only to be succeeded by the leaden gray
of early morning, thus giving to the aw
full scene fitting canopy.
Nearly all Of the dead bodies have
been recovered, but the mammoth
heaps of debris, the charred remains Of
buildings, warped and shattered fire en-
gines, and mangled bodies Of dead horses
are still reminders Of the
Terrible Work of The Fatefnl Night.
In addition to the sickening slaughter
of human beings the destruction of
property is great. Where vast sums Of
money were represented in well filed
warehouses, nothing remains but black
ened ruins, and the streets of the city
sparkle and glisten with broken glass.
Butte has more the appearance of a be-
sieged city in days Of war than that Of a
business center of commerce in time of
peace The hour for practical work has
arrived and a relief meeting has been
called by Mayor Dugan for II o'clock a.
N. The fire was under control at
o'clock
A number Of persons reported killed
have turned up, among them Julius
Jacks, George King, Wesley Warden
and Mrs. George Fifer. At 9 a. m. A
bodies had been delivered at various
undertaking establishments. Some
bodies are reported to have been en-
tirely consumed by the flames.
Supposed to Have Been mcendiary.
The fire is supposed to have been OF
incendiary origin, as there was no fire,
SO far as known, about the place.
One body taken from the ruins was
identified as Chief Cameron of the fire
department.. The head, arms and legs
were burned off. 1t is estimated that
70 to 100 persons are dead, but it is i'm
possible to get names on account of the
mangled condition of the remains. 1t
is likely some will never be identified.

Portland, Ore, and w. G. Henlein
and Mrs. Anna Kern, of this city.
Mr.. Henlein was faithful, honest
