When Bralnerd bid fair In early days te be some thing of a town, a tbrllty German named William Behwartz arrived direct from the old oeuntry, and after prospecting a little, made a rich discovery et fine clay for brick Just above the elty In the river bank.

But bis domestic matters were In serious shape. Ills wife was child less, and whether Justly or net, Bah warts became exceedingly Jealous et his buxom wile and tbe common hands en the works.

He se spent the winter, and net being a 'pusher,' when spring came be had netted for the winter's work besides some belter clothes less than f20. He worked a while In the spring In a bearding camp at tbe dam for little mere than bis beard until Mrs. Schwartz, the owner of thehundrnl thousand, hired bim te chore about the place.

Twe weeks age she made a trip te Oregon, new supposed te have been te make euro that sne was free te wed, and, returning, she permitted herself te become Mrs. Aodrew Robinson. Thus she, at about CO, secures a husband at about half her age, while be, from se distressed a situ ation as te this world's goods, becomes by all odds tbe richest man In Bralnerd."

Farther Particulars of ihe nurnlng of Mr. Michael 8hrt liter's Dwellinc The bouse or Mrs. Michael Bhrelner, In Dlllervllle, which was reported en fire as we went te press en Friday, was com pletely destroyed. The building was two story, with attic, and large enough for two families, but was occupied by Jeseph Hun ter only. It was about a quarter after two o'clock when the fire was discovered by the family. At the same 'time trainmen, who were past ing, saw it from the cars and gave the alarm. The fire began In the attic and the reef was seen In a blazj. Water was carried up, but tbe smeke was se dense that the lire could net be located. The people who gathered at tbe beuse then turned their attention te saving tbe house hold geed p. Ever body worked with a will and the greater part of the furniture was carried out and saved. Among the things destroyed were two beds en the garret, a large cupberrd, with cooking utensils, old-fashioned clock, let of blankets, &e. Forty t-nsbels of potatoes In the cellar and a considerable quantity of corn wero aise burned. The high wind drove tbe flames te every nook and corner of the building and every partlele of weed In it was seen burned out. Portions of the high walls wero blown down and that standing leeks very Insecure. The fence en tbe cast side of the building and the trees in the yard were badly damaged. Around the house en the eastern and southern sides Is a wheat field, the ground et which was frozen very bard when the tire started. This was seen thawed for a long distance, making an ugly mud. The wind drove sparks all around the neigh borheod, but no ether property was dam aged. Tnesceneat the lira when an-lKTcr.r.i-oenekr reporter visited it late In the after neon was really a sad one. The furniture saved from the building was standing In tbe yard in a thoroughly mixed condition and Hunter and his wlk.isslsted by neigh bors, were busily engaged getting every thing tegether te move into an unoccupled house in the neighborhood for the night at leasL Hunter did net have any Insurance en the things that he lest, but took tbe matter very philosophically. He was glad that the lire bad net occurred at night, or he and bis family would surely have per ished. One thing that Hunter, who Is a sturdy Irishman, secmed toregret the meat was that he lest a let of blan keta which came from Ireland. The lire was the result of a defective flue and en Friday tbe family were engaged smoking meaL Before the fire was ex tinguished much of the meat was burned te a crisp.

The Chicago, Bur lington it Qulncy switchmen struek a few minutes after mldnlghL The reason the switchmen give for striking Is that they will net work with incompetent engineers and firemen. This decision was made at a special meeting of the Bwitehmen's union held last night at Twelfth street Turner hall. Fully seven hundred switchmen from all parte of the city were present and the debate was a heated one. The switch men have several old scores against tbe en gineer', but their friendly feeling toward the striking firemen counteracted this ani mosity. Grand Master Monahan was presi dent et the meeting and made a red het speech In favor or helping the "Q" striken. Amotien te declare a strike et the "Q" a wltehmen was carried. The officers of tbe union declined te give the vote of this most Important mew. The strike went Inte effect almost imme diately. The word was sent along the line of tbe " Q." yard, and at one o'clock this morning every switch was deserted. There are thirty-five switchmen en the night force. The "Q." was working eleven switch engines, four of whleh were band ling tbe live stock traffic, Tbe company was given no notice of any kind ; en the contrary It bad received information" from seml-cfllclal sources that no strike was con templated. This latest move may lead te endless complications and Involve every railroad in the city. If the strike, in the language of tbe trade unions, is a " legal " one, the switchmen in ether yards will refuse te switch any trains containing " Q." carp, following out the boycott plan adopted by engineers en reads parailel and competing With the Chicago, Burlington A Qulncy. The situation en the Chicago, Burlington it Qulncy read this merming is an em barrassing one. The day switchmen de clined te go work at tbe usual hour and tbe result Is that only three switch engines are at work en the line In this city, they being used for making up passenger tralnp. The switching for tbem is done by officials of tbe read wbe have volunteered for tbe work. A report was circulated this morning tbattbe switchmen of the Santa Fe read had quit work In a body. This was denied and later developments showed that only some 20 men at Cerwlth station had struck because a general yardmaster bad been ap pointed ever their local yard. General Passenger Agent Morten, of the Burlington, says that the latest effort te coerce the company into coming te terms will fall. He says that the general manager will give the switchmen until C o'clock to night te return te their places and that if they refuse the company will Immediately cemmence te hire new men of whom there are plenty In reserve. The company admit that this new phase Is the worst yet en countered and that freight mevement must be temporarily abandoned. The resump tion of tbe fast trains te-morrow will also be postponed. A general denial la given at tbe Grand Pad 11 e headquarters of the engineers te the statement that a deal has been effected between the two organiza tions. OAUHH OFrilKHWITCriMEN'H STIUKE. The strike of Burlington switchmen is tbe outeomo of Beveral secret conferences whleh have been held recently between representatives of tbe Union and Cblet Arthur. Fer years tbe local switchmen have been anxious te efllllate with the engi neers' brotherhood, but the latter baa al ways repulsed tbe advances, first, because tbey looked upon tbe swltonmen as being little above the pale of day laborers ; sec ond, because they are prone te strike upon the least fancied provocation, and again because their strikes have almost In variably been attended with violence. Twe weeks 8ge a delegation of (he switch men walted upon Chlet Arthur and cflered te strike forthwith If he would consent te an amalgamation of the two organizations, tbe details te be determined after tbe strike was ever. This was tbe principal of sev eral conditions, but Arthur, who thought at that time that victory for tbe Brether heed men was only a question of a few days, absolutely refused te enter Inte tbe deal and the delegation retired cbsgrlned. A week later when It was seen that the engineers were beaten en their own ground tbe switchmen relurned te the attack and received a mere cordial welcome than before. Since then, se a Brotherhood man Bald this morning, there have been dally conferences, resulting in an alliance, offen sive and defensive As te its terms nothing can be ascertained this morning, although It Is hinted that it will cever the switch men's unions throughout the country and that hereaUer a strike et the meuiuers or any ene et tbe three unienB will be sup ported by the etber two. In this event with engineers, Uremen and switchmen out, It will be an easy matter le bring any read te a cemplete standstill. There is a blcckade et Burlington trains this morning. A large number et deputy sheriffs have been erdered out te guard tbe round bouses and d epet. The strike was a complete surprise te tte Burlington strikers wbe bad been kept in cemplete lgnorance et tbe pending negotiations. They are mere hopeful this morning. The officials et the company say that tbey ex pect te be able te fill tbe places of tbe men that have geno out from non-union sources. 1IUSINCSS MEN COMPLAIN, fc'i'itiNeriKLi), Ills., March 21. A com plaint, signed by fifty-two citizens and bus iness firms of Aureis, has been tiled with tbe railroad and warehouse commission, In which tbe complainants ray : ' We are In formed and believe that numerous en gineers! and firemen new In tbe employ of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy railroad company, apd engaged in running trains through this city, are unfit and incompe tent te perform the duties or thelr respec tive positions, and that thereby tbe lives and property et people patronizing said railroad are dally endangered.

Editors Intellicikncku : is the county of Lancaster getting peer T That was my first thought when 1 read their annual re port In your papar en Thursday ovenlug. Prier te this year the reports as published showed the expenditures In detail. This year everything is lumped, and It leeks very much as It it was done ler a purpose, and that purpose may be te conceal the names of the poeplo wbe have been selected te famish supplies te this Institu tion by Levi's willing peer directors. It Is amusing te the publie that this model beard of directors should commence te eoenomtzo In the raatter or publishing their annual roperL One who knows says that the matter was gravely discussed snd the conclusion reached that the beard could net afford te publish the annual report as heretofore, and keep Bill neon en as day watchman of the bums. One or the ether had te be done away with, and the decision was that Bill Deen was et se much use te them that bis services could net be dis pensed wltb, and as for their expenditure, in the language of Vandetbilt, "the people bed i," they have no bunueH te knew what Is going en. There is another reason why It Is neoos neeos neoes asry se keep Bill Doen en duty. His brother Is an alderman, and by ways familiar te these two officials the workheuao is kept well filled with bums. According te an Hem I saw In your paper a few dsys age this alderman oemmltted US bums te the workheuso during the month of February, and rumor has it that tbe alder man did net aoe but a few et tbe gentle men or tbe read whom his commitment detalned In that institution during Feb ruary. It Btrlkes me that the poeplo have a right te knew who aupplles a county institution with groceries, dry geed?, meats, Aa An Itemized account of salaries paid, particu larly the amount received by directors would romevo a suspicion in tbe minds of some, who have an Idea that whenever a dlreoler wants te come te town he does se, but en tbe same day visits the alms house or hospital and Is ciedited with a day's salary J3 and mileage.
