Incidents, Losses and Insurance. the Kansas City Journal of Commerce, April 18.1 About one o'clock yesterday morning fire was issuing from the frame building on Fifth discovered street opposite the Journal office, between Main and Delaware, occupied by Dickinson Vandemark for saloon, and J. D. Rudd, for shoe shop. The a flames came from the second 'story over the shoe store.

Willing bands set to work, and the billiard tables and tixtures of the barroom were taken ont and saved in damaged consumed the The Are spread and rapidly a slightly houses, and when the engine arrived, it which was some time after the flames bursted out, was not deemed worth while to attempt to save the the burning buildings. The water was directed upon they were neighboring saved, houses and stores, and fortanately with a alight loss of stock and other matters of pot much worth. At one time the west end of Frank's Hall was on Are at the window frames.

The hose was run up into the ball but no water came for several minutes. Even when it did play long enough damage, the hose was hurriedly pulled to down lessen by some orders from the street, and it was carried round on Main street and ran through the saloon of Chris. Schoeller, so as to play on the flames in the rear. All insurance this time could Frank's Hall was in not have been effected on the spot at great danger, and -nine dollars premium on the hundred of ne in property. The wind was very light, the entire block extending from Fifth street to otherwise Fourth would have been destroyed, including the Pacino House.

The fire was somewhat mismanaged, but the engine was handled and its performances were Several the theme of admiration by everybody. citizens rendered valuable aid, prominent among whom was Matt Foster, who at the hose pipe exhibited the skill which we look tor only from trained firemen. The losses by the Are, 88 far as could be ascertained, are as follows: Case Thatcher, owners of the building destroyed, count their lose at $800: insured for $700.

KamBler Leon, whose building extends from Main street to the alley, and about half of which, Alled with tobacco and cigars, was entirely destroyed, estimated their loss at insured for $13,000. Dickinson Vandamark, whose billiard tables and saloon fixtures were taken out, but so badly damaged as to render them almost worthless, lose about $1500; 81800 covered by insurance. A. Baer, clothier, estimates damages by water and in removing his goods, at $2500; covered by an Insurance policy of $6000. Joe Cohn sustained no loss bevond the slight damage caused removing his goods into the street and back again.

The drug store of Brennert Wocher was damaged to the amount $100; insured. J.D. Rudd loses 8500; Insured for 8100, The following are the minor damages, which are fully covered -by insurance: Frank's Hall, $200; Chris. Schoeller'8 saloon, $20; Reinhart's barber shop, 825: C. Frank's stable, $25; Thatober building, $200 The presumption is current that the fire was the work of an incendiary.

It may be fortunate, but workmen were to engaged to tear the bulldings, preparatory erecting on the site a ine business house, worth $15,000, and work was to have commenced yesterday. BURNING OF THE STATE INSANE ASYLUM AL LINCOLN, NEB. Two of the Inmates Burned -Loss Probably for Up. wards of $90,000. the Lincoln MONDAY MORNING, April 17.

At about 3 o'clock this morning the alarm of fire was sounded through our streets. The cause was soon ascertained to he the Insane Asylum. Through the kindness of Messrs. Ensign were favored with a ride to the burning building, and on our arriral there we ascertained from one of the persons engaged about the building that the ORIGIN OF THE FIRE was, withont doubt, the work of an' incendiary, it caught exactly in the same place as where it was once fired before-in the north west corner of the There wing, near its connection with the main building. was no possibility of any of the inmates having access to that part of the building, and the responsibility therefore reste upon some fendish devil -no human being could poseibly be so far lost to all reason.

Immediately upon the alarm, Dr. Larsh, with all the men employed about the building, made within their power to extinguish flames, every effort but to no purpose. When it was found impossible to subdue the flames, their next efforts were made to save the patienta. In the upper part of the portion occupied by these unfortunates, two men who had to be kept in rooms separate were confined. The watchmen went and released them, and made every effort to get them out, but every time they would return again.

Finally, they bad to abandon them and go to the rescue of others The names of the two who per Ished were Edward Holverson, sent here. from Richardson county, and Henry Keeler, from Dodge ounty. Alter the patients were safe they In saving a very small portion of the parlor furniture Pi considerable number of blanketa, but what was saved will probably not exceed $2,000. The scenes were frightful in the extreme. During the early stage of the Are obe of the inmates, who is very bad, sized a club and threatened to slaughter all the women and children about the building.

Gabriel, he very wise and knowings He could tell, if he was brought on the witness stand, just how it occurred. Others were lying upon cots, unconscious, to all appearances, of the awful calamity When we arrived on the ground but a small portion of the walls had fallen in, but in less than thirty minutes pearly the whole of the main part of the building and also the wing crumblod down like a pile of sand. The loss to the State will not fall far short of the building having cost $145,000 and the furniture about $30,000. Indeed this is a sad loss to our State, and one which we regret as much as any one can. What be done with the patients is a question which will require consideration.

No doubt they will be provided tor until the reassembling of the Legisla- made ture, when provision should immediately be for the erection of another burlding. Great credit is due to the watchmen, nurses and all others engaged about the building; they simply haying escaped with their own clothing and wrappers on, so carnest were they in their endeavors to care for the unfortunates, The building was insur for upwards of 890,000, divided among the Underwriters and the Lorillard of New York; the of Brooklyn, and several other companies. ONE OF THE SAD PHASES OF LIFE. An Abandoned Husband Finds his Wife In House of Ill-Fame -she Refuses to Retarn to her Old Home. the Memphis Avalanche, The notorious Anna Gallagher was up before the Recorder again Festerday for hitting Sallie Murray in the eye last Sunday morning about the time when all good tolks were wending their way to their places of worship.

When the women were arrested and taken to the station house a quite respectable looking man followed them along and kept talking to Sallie all the time. The tenor of his remarks being that he would pat up a forfeit for her if she would go away with him. After they were placed in 8 cell the man, who gave his Dame n4 John Murray, went around in the alley and again begged her to go aWAy with him, telling her that he would take her away where no one knew ber and would help her to lead a different life. -An officer seeing the man hanging around the cella went back and asked him what he wanted, and what made him take such an extraordinary interest in Sallie. Murray replied that she was his wife; that HE MARRIED HER about four years since, and that she then promised to live an honest virtuous lite, but that in a short time she went back to her old path of sin, and he was forced to leave her.

Since then he has been living on a farm in Missouri, near St. Joseph, on the Missouri river, and had never heard from Sallie until a few weeks since, when he received a note from a friend in this city telling him that if he would come on again Sallie would go home with him. He says that during all that time he has CONTINUED TO LOVE SALLIE, despite her wayward course, and that when he heard that she would again live with him he hastened to come here, and when he got here he found Sallie as he had been informed-acting as doerkeeper in Gallagher's house, and she appeared to be very glad to see him; but, contrary to his expectations, refused to go home with him. The reason for her refusal was that she was afraid of. Annie, for she knew 30 much about that hag's way of disposing of troublesome or moneyed characters, that if she were to go away she FEARED ANNIE WOULD KILL HER to keep her from telling of the many deeds of blood and violence that have been enacted in her house in the past two or three years.

He tried to persuade her that she would have nothing to fear from Gallagher, and told her that he would take her off to Miasouri where she could start in a new life away from all her old associatione, and the numerous temptations to which she was exposed here. Sallie, bowever, steadily refused to go, saying that she knew Annie would never let her leave the town alive, for she knew too much about some things that had happened in the house, and she was afraid that it once from under her power she would expose her and then the penitentiary would be Annie's home certain. It was merely tor saying that she would like to ge away with Murray that cansed Annie to knock her down, and make threats to kill her if she ever tried to leave her house. Murray says that he loves Sallie with all his heart, and always has since he first met her, and that if she would go away with him, he would give her a good home for the rest of her ille, as he owned a good farm in Missouri and was making plenty of money. When the parties appeared in court, Sallie presented a beautiful BLUE- -BLACK OPTIC, the effects of Annie's handiwork, while that interesting, pock-marked, pig-eyed, stubby-nosed, coarse-looking female stood in the back-ground.

grinning defiance at everybody. They very wisely submitted their cases without entering into amination, and were tined $5 each by Recorder Scales, which Annie planked out from a huge roll of bills, THE CHIVALRY OF WOLFE COUNTY. They Treat Themselves to an Excursion, in Which they Whip a Number Men and Women Chivalry of Wolfe County, the Louisville Commercial, The Ku-Klux of Wolfe county, after a retirement of several weeks, mustered in force Saturday night, and went bravely out whipping excursion. They visited a number of families, and before morning these cowardly hounds had stripped and whipped eleven white persons, six of whom were women. They also stole from a stable to Campton the horse of James J.

Conway, the epecial baliff of Murray, and rode him all night, generously returned him with a note attached Klan to his mane, informing Mr. Conway that the had taken his case under consideration, and voted on the disposition they should make of him. The resolution to hang him was lost by one paltry vote, hence the Klan felt obliged to in orm the bailiff that he quit his d-d Radical business they would hang him soon, anyway." -Possibly some member of the Legislature has been added to the ranks of these calico-gowned heroes, and thus stimulated them to their noble efforts in It would be diffleult to enumerate the whipping white men and women. number of lashes there cowardly scoundrels are entitled to if they should he caught and sentenced to this popular mode of correction. Deputy United States Marshal Harrington arrived in the city yesterday from county, having under arrest three illicit distillers named John and Riley Prater and William Porter, who were held in sums of 8600 to answer the charge by Commissioner Beattie.

During the war there were about a dozen execntions with the under the supervision of the Provost Marshal rope, Gendone eral, and our chronicler does not mention one of them: He also omits all mention of the hanging of Brown and Me Daniel for the murder of Chavis, of three negroes previously, besides many other executions of a later date.

Here is what he writes: The Hangmen of St. Louis. It may be inferred that in St. Louis there is not much for a hangman to do, and whatever legal strangling is to be done is not well paid for, the legal fee being only 825. Prior to 1885 it was but $15, which was for taking a man's life, and in keeping with giving a man a dog's death.

Hence it is that the hanging la generally done by proxy, the Deputy Marshal acting the part of Calcraft. The jail now stands in the heart of the oity, at the corner of Chesnut and Sixth streets, fronting latter. In the yard, a space not exceeding sixty feet long by about thirty wide, the gallows 18 reared. A list of the hangmen of St. Louis may be found interesting JULIUS NEUDORF WAS a man of about -eight years of age, with on open, florid countenance, and good blue eye.

In person he tallish and stout. In early life he was a reporter on the Anzeiger, of this city, (he being a German,) and on the breaking out of the war be threw down his pencil to enter the Fifteenth Missouri infantry. He came out of the war safe and sound, but with strong craving for lager beer. His course was the usual one, and he at length became a hangman. It is said he was a strangler in the army, and.

that he there learned the art; but this is not certain. The first man banged by him was Peter Christman, December 6, 1867, whom he sent into the next world in artistio style, After this he was on hand for another job, but was disappointed three times, the sentence of the condemned having been commuted. On one occasion greased; be after ante a the man, and even bad the rope was of This too but much all for condemned and was cursed reprieved. was Julius, he like a trooper, muttering: Twenty-five dollars gone; it's too d-d Julius found the business not a paying one, and retired in favor of some one still more hard-up-than himself. He has 'left the JOHN EVES has hung was more men in St.

Louis than any other man; but be not a strangler by vocation, as he was deputy marshal at the time, and had, as his duty, to execute the sentence of the law. Eves was a man of from afty to filty-two years of age, five feet nine inches in hight, and by no means blood thirsty in looks. Alter his drat essay at the gallows, however, he seemed to lose his repugnance to strangung, and did the succeeding executions with artistic neatness, if not coolness. One ef the most famous executions in St. Louis was done by him.

Two noted burglars and thieves, Billy Wilson and Joe Burns, were under sentence for the murder of a Sergeant Gilmore, of the police. The affair created great sensation at the time, and the executions drew as large a crowd 98 the small yard would contain. Burns was hung on the 8th of May, and Wilson on the 27th of June, 1882. Both met their inte like hardened criminals, and both were launched into the pext world by -Eves, in his asual expert 11th style. Eves hung Joseph W.

Thornton on the of November, 1889; J. H. Lamb, a in 1853; Samuel Brunt on the 31st of August, 1860; and Valentine Housen on the 15th of April, 1864, and has now gone to the other world himself. PETER CORING. This bangman was a burglar.

It does not appear that Peter wag allowed to try his hand a second time. On the 27th of January last there was another case of strangling near Potosi, near St. Louis. Charles Joly and John Armstrong bad been convicted of the murder of the Lepine family, and sentenced to be hung. The hangman was tyro, or was and flurried, for he let Joly fall so low that his berrous head was nearly torn from the trunk.

Armstrong lived longer and suffered much agony, but it ceased in -8 few minutes. DAVE M'CELLOCH. from 1850 to 1856, handled the fatal rone in St. Lonis. He was his a small man, of quiet manners, but firm in doing duty.

Nueslein did not die easily, notwithstanding the address of his strangler. HIS agony was short, however, and his spirit fled to the better world, which that of poor Mary Ann had already reached. MINING ITEMS. THE miner's pick makes a good geological hammer.

HUGH MILLER dug up his facts when working with a crowbar. Tar double lability clause has been expunged; let the other follow. ST. Lours needs badly a good practical assayer of ores. SOME massive lead ore cubic formed, has come in from a new lead field in-Miller county.

THE Romans drained their mines In Spain by pumps worked by slaves on tread wheels. MINERS 88 a class are above other operatives in intalligerce WE import about three-fourths of our lead from England and Spain. KidNEy iron ore, simlar to that mined about Newcastle, has been found on the lands of the Lincoln County (Mo.) Coal Company. ore that resembles wood tin, has recently been sent from Arkansas, Boone conaty, It can be seen at Merriman office. ONE of the old Boston geographies stated that the only brass mine in the United States was in Connecticut.

THE more a man's business brings him in contact with the natural productions of the earth, the more his name is strengthened by his business. A GEOLOGICAL survey of a mineral field that the miner cannot use as a guide to develop the vein system of field, is of but little value. ON the north side of the railroad cut, west of Kirkwood, St. Louis county, in a clay crevice, is a large mass of ore, that from the car window looks like the noted black band iron ore of Pennsylvania "SCIENCE is ret a beardless Youth, a little vain and shallow, Ready to out-face Ajax, And to dare Hector to combat." THE man that mined after lead veins as if they had come up through cracks from a melted pot of metals down below, is discouraged with the mining business generally. WISE twelve miles south of Galena, Ill.at the water level of Mississippi river, last month, discovered a lead mine that is said to have $50,000 worth of lead ore in sight.

PRACTICYL geology must go hand-in-band with practical mining. These two represent the two poles of science and industry that must form a continual mediation, and combine and strengthen each other. TaR first pig of block tin made. in a furnace in Miseouri will start the tin fever. We think that pig will be made in the next sixty days.

The tin belts erosa three counties of low priced wild lands. TaR production of lead in Missouri in 1871 WAS $1,000,000. In Galena, or upper lead fields, 000. One thousand Ave hundred miners are at work in upper field, and one thousand in Missouri. Average production per miner for the year, $1,000.

To hire a man to go about the State and collect statistics of the discoveries of iron, lead, zinc or other ores, and have them published secretly and fled away in a library is a poor way to advance the mining industry of the State. A MINER was up from Shannon county this week and says that he has discovered a lead vein two feet thick and twenty feet wide, and has sold half his interest, and the party is to start with him in a few days to develop the discovery, A PROMINENT citizen of. Oregon county tells me that a discovery of ore has recently been made la his county that smelts in a blacksmith forge, and yields a white metal that cute like silver; that the discovery is near the Arkansas line, and ore abundant, and no one there knows what it is. St. Louis is situated geographically to the mineral fields to be the central mining and smelting emporiam of the continent, and all that is needed to reach that position is plenty of experts in metals, and mining adventurers who know how to distribute mining capital, to locate here and develop the mineral resources of the State.

SOME very rich looking silver lead ore was mined West of Bruno, in Wayne county, some years ago. The company quarrelled and went to law about the mane and work stopped. In looking at the ores from one hundred of the silver-lead reins of Colorado I see no richer looking ore for silver than this souri ore, and say big silver region in Wayne county. THE law passed by the Missouri Legislature, and not allowing the State Geologist to tell the owner of land about any discovery of mineral made on it, or to any party who would mine the vein, is worthy of the sagacity of a Missouri Legislature, We should suppose the object of making a geological survey or the State was to induce men to develop the mining resources. If the State of Missouri can employ 8 geologist who has the knowledge and ability to go.

COOPER informs the Marshal (Iowa) Times that the Grinnell Winona railroads will go forward this season as far ne Cedar Falls. A LARGE number of additional laborers have been put upon the Detroit and Lake Michigan road between Detroit and Howell, and that section of the line will be completed by June 1.

On the Holly, Wayne Monroe road matters are progressing vigorously also. WORK on the northern extension of the Jackson, Laneing and Saginaw line is being pushed rapidly forward, and by the close of the present season the road will be finished well towards the straits. The track is now laid to a point within ten miles of Pine river, and 100 more men are soon to be put on. According to the terms of the charter, the road must be finished by the close of 1872. An interesting case was brought before the Supreme Court of Michigan, at Detroit, last week in reference to the right of railroad corporations organized under the laws of Indiana, to receive lands in Michigan in payment of stock subscription.

H. H. Reilly, of Michigan, and R. Brackenridges of Fort Wayne, opened the case, the question being whether a corporation in Indiana, authorized by the law of that State, could take land in Michigan in payment of stock subscribed to an Indiana corporation, even if. authorized by the laws of Indiana to receive it.

The case excites considerable interest among railroad officials. THE Waukegan (Ill.) Patriot of the 15th says: "The. prospects of another line of rallroad being speedily built through this country are very promising. Surveyors have been on the possible route for several days running a line from a point at the Wisconsin State line, down through the towns of Newport, Warren, and Libertyville. The stakes are etuck berond the O'Plain river, west of this city, near Judge Stevens' farm, and the line eontinnes nearly due south, until near Libertyville, where two lines are surveyed.

one west of the center of that village about forty or fifty rods, and another east about the same distance from the center of the The latest intelligence is that the east route will probably be adopted, crossing the river about three miles south of Libertyville, and thence taking a beeline to Chicago." The St. Paul Press of the 13th says: "The work on the Northern Pacific railroad is being prosecuted with extraordinary vigor, and no one can doubt from the gigantic strides which have already been made in the construction of this great highway, that within five years iron track will span the continent from Lake Superior to Puget Sound. The grading is already finished across Minnesota from Lake Superior to the Red river, 8 distance of 266 miles; trains are running over 130 miles of completed track, including another railroad bridge across the Mississippi at Brainard. By September next, trams will run to Red river, and the grading will probably be far advanced toward the great bend of the Missouri river, in Dakota. Meanwhile, work has been commenced OR the Pacific coast.

A large force of men is already employed in the valley of the Columbia, and we have the assurance of the Anancial agents of the road that, hereafter, the work of construction will be pushed at both ends with such rapidity as the best interests of the road may justify. By the purchase of this St. Paul and Pacifc railroad, whose two great branches intersect the Northern Pacific at Otter Tail Lake and the Red River, and the construction of which to the points of intersection is to be pushed to completion this summer, the Northern Pacific railroad will have before the close of the present season 516 miles of railroad track in Minnesota alone, connecting the great Red River Valley with lake navigation at Dulnth, and with the river and railroad system of the West' at St. Paul, and some fifty miles more at the Pacific end. Meanwhile immigration is pouring in to an unprecedented extent along the track of the Northern Pacific and its Minnesota branches, and rapidly ate tion is advancing toward the Red River Valley the march of settlement has already overtaken, and is passing far beyond it.

Foy, Wm. McHenry and Barton Able, proprietors of the Evening Dixpalch, was commenced. The alleged libel is contained in the following local published July 16, 1868: ROBBERY -A man named Spencer Ball, nineteen years old and about five feet seyen inches high, stole from nine to fifteen packages of a man named John Snelle residing at Caswell mine, Franklin county. Mr. Ball.

on reading the above, started for St. Louis, leaving his son in charge of the mine. He saw the editors of the Dispatch, and the following article was published on the 20th, four days afterward: AN ERROR CORRECTED, -In our isene of July 16 we stated, under the heading of "'Heavy Robbery'3 that-a young man named Spencer Ball had stolen some lead in Franklin county. We have since been informed that the statement was utterly incorrect: The information was received at the police department and furnished us, but neither we nor the department knew of its being false. We since learn that the entire charge is a base slander upon the young man's character, and was made at the police ofice by a man who had been formerly in the emplo of Mr.

Ball, and who, as he bore a grudge against the young man, took this means of iejuring his character. Mr. Spencer Ball has a large number of friends in St. Louis, who know him to be a young man of unimpeachable character, and we regret the unintentional statement of ours to the contrary. Mr.

Ball has been living, and still lives, at Caswell Mine, in Franklin constant attention upon his dnties, in the store father, and has Dot been absent tor months from that Several witnesses were placed on the stand, their evidence apparently showing a complete absence of al malicious intent on the part of defendants, in the publication of the article.

Drinking what? Let the result show. Seven of the boys were just able to crawl home from that Sunday tippling shop.
