FEW BRICK IN SIGHT TO
MEET THE SPECIFICATION
City Engineer Craig Returns from
GaIesburg, Where He Finds
Few Being Made.

Prospects are not bright for the COM
pletion Of much new brick pavement in
Omaha this year. City Engineer Craig, on
his return from GRlesburg this morning,
said the Purington yards are not putting
out any great quantity OF brick.
Much Of the brick on hand in the yards
does not come up TO the Omaha specifioa-
TONS" said Mr., Craig, and would not be
accepted by this department Very little
new brick is being turned out, so far as
l could see because OF the strike that has
been on at the burlington yards for several
months. II is not a question OF wages,
apparently. but Of open or closed shop. and
the proprletors are unquestionably having
difficulty in getting the men needed to
run their yards at anything like capacity.
THE existing state OF things makes II
sure that we VIII not permit the opening
OF any more streets at this time. at least
not In the downtown districts"

KEARNEY FOLLOWER
dies IN HOTEL FIRE
Michael Coyne, Sandlot Politi-
clan, Perishes; IS Lodgers
Narrowly Escape

Michael Coyne, aged rs. one of the
famous Dennis Kearney politicians,
was burned to death and more than
35 other dodgers narrowly escaped with
their lives early yesterday morning in
a fire which destroyed the Columbia
hotel, corner of Clara and Sixth streets.
The fire, which broke out in one of
the rear rooms of the building, was not
discovered until it had eaten its way
between the rafters, and had enveloped
the entire upper story of the structure.
The fire is believed to have been
started by the overturning of a candle.
Those who had rooms on the first
floor had no difficulty in making their
escape from the building. Those on
the second story were cut off by the
burning of the stairway, and were
forced to jump into the fire nets or
make their way down the ladders
which the firemen had erected.
Coyne occupied a room on the first
floor in the rear of the building.
While making his way through the
smoke, and fell unconscious. He laid
smoke, and fell unconscious. He layed
in this position until the flames reached
his body.

One lie uttered by Herring on the
stage of the Novelty theater, Saturday

entirely from whole cloth.
Even before this SANDER was uttered
