The Dates College Foot Ball team played a game of foot ball yesterday afternoon out at the Y. M. C. A. park with the Christian eleven nnd was defeated by thu score of 82 to 0. The. two teams were very evenly matched as to weight , but , the home team had far the better of It In skill and knowl edge of the B n > c , and the work of their backs was superior to those of the visitors. After the line of the Y. M. C. A. team got down to work they were much better In both blocking and offensive play , while the Gates line had several weak spots , es pecially between center and left guard. During the early part of the first hnlt ceveral Gates men broke through and made tackles behind the line , but they could do so rarely after that , and they were somewhat weak In breaking up Inter- Ku.ne , on the whole , was n very fair one. and , what Is of as great Importance , It was a very clean one. There was no un- ecemly squabbling , as has occurred very often. The Uates boys appeared to be gen tlemen , every one of them , and played a gentlemanly gamp , and the same must be laid of the Christians. The captains did all the talking and there was very little kicking against the decisions of the ofll- claln. Thcrt was no fouling. It was the Illnd of a game B. foot ball enthusiast likes to see : A hard game , for the Gates boy * made Omaha work hard , despite the score , nnd ono that was not disgraced by un- tcemly acts and language.

The West Street house occupied the upper floor of a two-story corrugated Iron building that covers a quarter of a block of ground nt Columbia and West streets , one block from ihc Northern Pacific depot and near the business center of the city. The building was a mere shell * of wood , covered with Iron , There were sev eral exits to the streets , but they were nar row. the halls were narrow nnd the rooms small. A wholesale business house occu pied the ground floor. The hotel being mar the depot , and a cheap but reputable' hnuse , was much patronized by country iipoplo. The flre was undoubtedly caused by the ex plosion of a lamp In the kitchen In the rear of the house. The proprietor's ' son was aroused by the nolso about 1 o'clock , but be fore he could Investigate the flames seemed to have spread all through the- house , The corrugated Iron sheeting kept the flames hid until nearly the whole Interior was a furnace. The thin partitions , were of resinous pine covered with cheesecloth , and burned furiously. It was not until the flames were seen burning In the windows by people in the streets that an alarm of flre was turned In by a policeman. When tlie flrcmen. sr- rlved the flre did not present an alarming aspect. The people at the windows \n-ro rescued with ladders and boards , some ts- caplne with hardly any clothes. A woman who was carried down by a fireman screamed out that her baby was In the building and 11 fireman wnnt up a ladder and brought It down. D. D. Glass , Edward Havlln and C. D. Johnson lumped to the ground and were Injured BO biclly that they were tiilien to a hospital. All will recover. The crowd In the street then supposed that the lodgers had all escaped. , QUESTS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ESCAPED , The firemen played water through the windows dews and were rcldorced by the flre boat the building being only a short distance from the water front. At 2 : 5 o'clock a. m. the flre was under control and the firemen were able to enter the shell of Iron. At the- head of the stairs at the West stree. entrance they found tlie body of a man pinned to the floor by the ruins of a bed. He had apparently just heard the alarm and was dressing when overcome by the smoke and ; suffocated , for the only clothitiE lie had' ' on were his trousers and boots. He was carried1 to the foot 'of the stairs by the firemen arid taken to the North ern Pacific depot , wrapped In a comforter. The body wasi horribly burned. Continuing their search , the firemen discovered corpse , after corpse , until atI o'clock they had counted fifteen. Subsequently another wns found. Most of the bodies were left where they lay until daylight , In the hope that the pro prietor might Identify them by locating the rooms on the register , for nil the bodies ex cept two were charred beyond a possibility ol recognition. Ono poor fellow was caught In the rush of the , conflagration near the top of the West street stairway and sunk down overcome- with the smoke nnd flames. The firemen fought to keep the flre away from his body , but were driven back. In one of the hallways n body , charred black and without a vestige of clothing , was found , A little farther on In the same passageway was an other body , evidently that of a woman , face upwards and hands outstretched as If fight ing for her life and appealing for assistance which never came. There was little loft o the woman's form , for part of the body was charred and the burned bones lay around It In another hall or passageway wns anothei body. It was evidently that of an agec woman. Her body was fearfully contortec and her face was upward and the form prc ser.ted was that ot one who had died In the most violent anony. The burned arms am hands were uplifted , and In one blackenei hand was a handful ot hair , as If she. In her agony , had clutched It In de-spalr when th flro came upon her. SADDEST SIGHT OF ALL. The saddest sight of all was found In an inside room off the passage which led to West street. There , calmly lying In a charred and blackened bed , was evidently an entire family. Thr ; father lay on one eldo the wife next to him , and n little burned am blackened arm , the flesh falling In shreds from it , the small fingers clutched , showei that a little child was among the victims In an adjoining room was a still more horrl ble sight. In a corner of a small' Inside room two charred and naked skeletons met th gaze. The- flesh was burned from each , am the first , that of a man , with blackened stumps of arms , seemed to be fighting an Impending danger. Immediately beyond him also boldly upright and clutching his waist was the skeleton of a woman. Startled they had risen from tlrolr couch , the smok and flames had rushed In upon them , am before they had realized their awful danger they were overpowered and mcl the most horribleof deaths. In a portion of a hotel where the flames did not destroy the wood work , the bodies of two more were found. One man was completely dressed and the other was In his night clothes. They were suffocated by smoke. In ona of the ruined rooms at the end of oj orjow hall under n broken window , where oiio man was found dead. Is a whlto streak 'ttn the wall un touched by flre , untarnlslfeti by smoke , kept thus by the upraised ! arm of this victim , . where an arm rested against the wall , when , In a last strugglehe , .reached . upward 'for help in Jls awful agony. In tlio corner of a room where the upper-parts of the walls are burned away Is an untainted epot upon the floor and on both the torn'tr walls. In that place , against the wall , , tfit a wife , dead , her arms about the walht Af.hcr dead husband , who sat before her onheL floor , his feet and arms burned off , his efts''turned out and her hamla burned off. In a'h'oufijr room Is a long unbumed spot , the snap ? of a man , where one was found dressefl 'apd dead , with his face badly burned , c The bodies were taken tc the morgue this morning In boxes or carlvJs sacks. Moat ot the bodies werewrfcppVd In stained and dirty bed aJothlng fronxithe store rooms of the burned hotel. Some of them were so badly burned that only the wrappings held the body and trunk from falling asunder. As the rigor of death had long before set In , It wag almost Impossible to straighten out the distorted limbs of some of the dead. One corpse , that of a man whoso head was burned entirely oft , was bowed up almost as If tied In a knot. He had died on his hunds and knees , with hU face burled In the bed clothes. The bodies of two ot the littles girls were naked and were- distorted Into stapes hardly human , Their little bands and feet were entirely consumed , and only the ends of charred bones of legs and anus remained. The arrangement of the halts ot the hotel made mcli a labyrinth that in the day time one unfamiliar with the plane would have hid difficulty la finding his way about with out several attempts , and at Ilia halls were filled with smoke there was little chance for any of them to grfcpe thslr way out before foresuffocating. .
