Nebraska Notes

The death Of Chaplain Henry Mas.
teTman Of F~arragut post G.. A. r., OF
Lincoln, will cause sorrow among his
old cOmradS all Over Nebraska, for he
was n OF the most notable Of all
the veterans of the civil wal in the
STATE. The stories that are told OF
him are legion. About twenty years
ago Mr. MaSterman complained that
he was greatly handicapped in the
camp fires by the fact that he held
the position of chaplain. Some OF
the boys had been telling rather able
stories of their experiences and he
said that SO long as he was chaplain
lie couldn't keep within gun shot Of
them. eff Z wasn't chaplain" he
said in one meeting. II could tell
you souIe interesting stories. but on
account Of my office it is necessary for
Inc o stick to the truth - Then he
told of his exciting experience when
he had charge of a wagon load of loose
powder which he was caIting across
the zone of fire to one of the batter
les. He was very much afraid that
the powder would take fire, and in
spite of all his precautions Il she'll fell
into the wagon box and exploded.
That was about the liveliest time [
eyer had in my life" the veteran
thaplain declared, ''for the plagedy
stuff took fire and mOre'n a bushel of
it must have burned up before | could
italnp it out"

The two year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jesse Newton Of Wymore
was found dead in bed Monday NOM
ing. The child had suffered an at
tack of measles but was thought to
be recovering. Some time during
Sunday night the baby vas found to
be quite cold, and was taken in bed

warmed. She then insisted that she

The linemen of the Topeka Tele-
phone company VINO live in the vi
cinity of Beatrice are still idle on
account of the strike. An employe
of the local exchange, named Lawson
who is employd as collector and tele-
phone repairer was put to work this
morning with one helper On line work
but was speedily requested to desist
by the union strikers, which he did.
The independent Telephone company
! which has secured a firm fOOthold in
Beatrice is taking considerable in
tereSt in the strike. Several outside
officials of that company were seen
talking to the striking linemen but
what passed between them is a mat
ter OF question. Anyhow the line
men do not seem to be uneasy about
the results Of the strike and il is a
possibility that he Independent Tel

the wagon killing al of the occupants and
tearing to pieces the coffin containing the
corpse.
Engineer Tyler Hanes, who was running
the train, saw the mules run upon the
track but his engine was so near and run
ming at such speed that he could not stop
When the train was finally brought to a
stop the corpse of Mrs. Lewis was found
on the pilot of the engine and another dead
body on the running board, while the
fragments of the others who were killed
were to be seen scattered hither and thith-
er, all being frightfully mutilated.
1t is said by some who witnessed the
scene afterwards that one body was found
lodged in the piece OF the coffin which had
been demolished. The three men who
were killed were said to be above fifty
years of age, while Miss Townsend was
about thirty-eight. The wagon was torn
into atoms but the mules were seen going
across fields at a remarkably rapid rate
unhurt.
The affair is a most peculiar and deplor
able one considering the fact that all Of
the killed We're inmates of the County
Home, and were on the mission of burying
one of their associates. 1t is said that
Weaver, who was driving the wagon, was
deaf and that he failed to see the approach
ing train. The dead bodies, after being
placed side by side in the depot at the sta
ton were CHASTITY to look upon. Very lit
tie blood was to be seen all of the
bodies being nothing fore than skin and
bone

a Blaze Startles Rome
(By the Associated Press. J

Rome, Nov. 2.-Fire broke out at $50
o'clock Sunday evening in that portion OF
the Vatican containing the hall of inscrp-
tons, where the Pope gives his audiences.
and which is aiacent to the famous
pinacoteca, or ganery of pictures. The
alarm caused much confusion and excite
ment in the Vatican. Strenuous efforts
were made to control the flames, and the
firemen of Rome were called TO lend their
help. At a quarter past II O'Clock the
fire was under control. No lives were lost.
No idea of the damage can yet be Oh
tanned. The Pope came to the scene in
person and remained until the arrange
ments to fight the fire were completed.
The fire caused a greater sensation in
Rome than any other event since the
death of Pope Leo Fires in Rome are
exceptional because of the heavy stone
and brick construction of the buildings.
The first ntimation of fire was had
when smoke was seen issuing from the
apartment of NJ. Marie. which is located
above that of Father Ehrie, the librarian
who lives over the library itself. M
Marie is celebrated French restorer O.;
ancient manuscripts and illuminated
books. He is at present engaged IN copy
ing work and his first reproductions have
been selected for part of the Vatican's
exhibit at the st. Louis Exposition.
1t is supposed that NJ. Marie forgot to
take proper precautions with his kitchen
FIRE, which probably blazed up and ignited
some nearby hangings. Thus the fire
started and it rapidly assumed such pro-
portions that the gendarmes, who were
the first on the scene gave an immediate
general alarm.

New York, Nov. 2.-Twenty-one men,
three women and a ten months old babe
were burned to death or suffocated in a
fire that started early Sunday morning
in the House OF All Nations. five story
tenement at No. 426 Eleventh Avenue.
and which the police and coroner believe
to be of incendiary origin.
The only person injured, so far as can
be learned, is Mary Jane Quinn, forty
seven years old. who was burned about
the face and hands by leaping from the
second floor fire escape to the ground.
The fire had been burning for some min
utes before it was discovered 1t had
started in the basement and, rushing
upward had attacked the stairway lead
ing to the apartments. In a short time
the flames had so enveloped the stairway
that egress from the building was impos.
sible. The house from the third to the
fifth floor was entirely destroyed.
At the windows, front and rear, bodies
of men and women were iammed. show
ing that desperate struggle to get free
had resulted in the complete choking OF
these exits to the fire escapes and had
been the cause of number of the in
mates being suffocated. Lying on a bed
alongside a window at the rear of the
fourth floor, the firemen found the bodies
of Ave men. Each had clutched the one
next to him in an endeavor to push him
away in order to get to the fire escape
outside. The features of the men were
distorted, some With rage, some with
agony, and in two. instances the men had
gripped each other so hard that blood had
been drawn and hid run over their hands
On the third flo were found the bodies
of Mauleta Whine 20 and her baby. The
mother had era - - the front windov
and had succeeded in grasping the sill
when she was suffoeated. In her arms
lay the body of her child On the third
floor in an apartment where a Halloween
party was being held, John O'Toole, one
of the occupants, started to go to the
street. He was met by a volume of
smoke as he opened the door. He ran to
the fire escape, followed by all those IN
the fiat with the exception of his mother.
whose charred body later was found lying
at the entrance to the apartment. O'Toole
and the Others escaped.

Burglary Near Asheville.
Special to News and Observer

Special to News and ObseTer)
Asheville, n. c., Nov. 2.-Robbers early
yesterday morning burglarized the store
of J. F. Crowell. about two miles west OF
Asheville. Entrance was made by the re-
moval of the glass front. A quantity OF
cigars, tobacco, knives, etc, was stolen
and $3.50 in cash. The family living in
the store knew nothing of the robbery
unit lthey were about to start for church.
There is no clue.
1t was learned today that Judge Boyd
would be ready at the approaching term
of United States circuit court to try the
civil docket. and also that he would not
hold the Wilkesboro term of court. He
will probably call the civil docket Thurs
day and will remain here until the cases
on the calendar have been disposed of.
The principal case to come up will be the
Buncombe County bond case. In view OF
the fact that the Stanley and Wilkes coun-
ties cases have recently been settled in
favor of Dondholders there is great deal
of interest here over this case.
