It isnot to be imagined that the list con- tains even one half of the bad side- walks in the city and no doubt many of the most dangerous are omitted, but at the same time if those men- tioned are repaired it will be a source of great satisfaction to many pedes- trians, With the exception of a narrow pas- sage way, the sidewalks fronting Strang's new building and the adjoin- ing house to the east are blockaded with iron columns. Under ordinary circumstances during the day time the are very narrow, when one slips from one, he is liable to staike nnul;mr fur. ther down, and then climb to the top at the end of] the embankment. This being right on the road to the depots, makes the stranger and new comer fall in love with Omaha, es- pecially when it is raining. Several planks of the board walk have been carried off, thus making the condition of affairs all the more interesting, On the northwest corner of Eley- enth and Harney streets, Ezra Millard i huilding, but by ling up nearly the entire street wit building material and rubbish, indis- criminately piled about, he has com- pletely blockaded the walk and noone can pass on that street. Right across the way, on Harney street, Tler Brothers are putting up three buildings and they {m\‘c done the same thing, making it impossible forany one to pass there, save by go- ing through the eight foot passage left for teams in the middle of the street, which, fron the leakage of the water used in making mortar, is always a mass of mud, On the ecast side of Fourteenth street, crossing Douglas, can be seen acouple of rocks which were once intended for cross walk purposes. There is one at each end and the space between them and the sidewalks, - cluding the gutters, is bridged on one side by three old planks and on the other side by one plank, thrown down in such a manner that care has to be exercised in stepping upon them or they will fly up orslip around pro- miscuously. On Fourteenth street, east side, be- tween Dodge and Douglas, H. A. Koster and A. M. Clark are building a double brick block and the material is not only piled in the street but stretched across the sidewalk also, On the southwest corner of Ninth and Farnham, in front of the Tivoli the mud and dirt lies upon the walk to the depth of several inches There used to be a walk also across from this corner to the Canfield house but it is com]pleto] buried in dirt, The walk on the south side of Farn- ham strect and crossing Fifteenth street is simply a man trap and unfit to be used either in darkness or day- light. There aretwo planks deficient at the inconvenience is not greatly felt, but at night, pedestrians are continually stumbling there, Adjoining Creighton’s Hall, an ex- cavation is being made for a new building that extends half way across the sidewalk. The opening is fenced of course but has remained for a lon, time a dangerous obstruction. Such of the sidewalk as has not been dug out is covered witha yellow clay, which, when diluted by “rain makes one of the moet disreputable bit of paving in the city. In wet weather the mud there is usually ankle-deep. In front of the frame structure at 1,114 Farnham street, is another bad piece ot sidewalk that should re- ceive attention. The boards are not only uneven, but loose ‘and full of oles, At 1,316 Farnham, just west of south east corner of Douglas and Eleventh streets, and those in front of the California house need repairing, So do those at the south east corner of Capitol Avenue. There are two planks wanting at the corner of Chicago street. The side walk between Capi- tol Avenue and Chicago streets is very shaky. Opposite the California house three planks are deficient. At No. 1101 and Eleventh next the planks require attending to, and so they do in front of the Emmet house. At the west corners of Howard street and STORM RA\;AGES. Work of the Wind and Rain in Council Bluffs, Damage Done to the Various Buildings. The Lightning Did Very Little Execution, But Considerable Loss Was Sustained From Water. Big Batch of General Local Hap~ penings THE STORM. REPORT OF THE DONE RY IT, The rain storm of Wednesday even- ing will probably be long remembered in this region, and especially in Coun- cil Blufls, Early in the afternoon the clouds began skirmishing around in the western horizon, indicating an approaching storm, but their broken appearance did not presage much rain, and people paid very little at- DETAILED DAMAGE tention to what was going on in the elements. A quiet, gentle shower set in about five o'clock, but it soon became apparent that the storm was gradually increas- ing in intensity., Two storm centers appeared to form on either side of the city, and gradually to approach each other until they joined over the bluffs just above the city. Here the storm culminated, the electrical Jischarges, which had been growing in frequency and intensity with the storm, became almost terrific, and the water-came down literally in torrents. It was almost as thougha lake had suddenly been inverted overhead. Almost the first intimation people had that anything unusual had oc- curred was the roaring of the wild flood rushing everywhere. It was a wonderful, and at first almost an ap- palling sight. The streets were like rivers running full, even up to the very doors, and the angry waters tum- bled and surged and roared as though they would sweep away everything. The intensity of the storm did not last long, probably not more than half an opposite Krug’s Brewery the walks aro bad. The sidewalk in front of Shreve, Jarvis & Co's establishment, corner of 14th and Dodge street, needs re- pairing. The sidewalk in front of 1419 Dodge street is about as decrepit a piece of architecture as will readily be found the party which Mrs. Gen, Crook gave in | Baumer's is another blockade,.

However, the affair was a very pleasant one. —An abominable man trap is the side- walk along the north side of Farnham “be erected.

One side is guarded E;‘: fence and the street side by a high pile of lumker. In sloppy weather the mud is of a frightful cl ter. However, all other sidewalks in the city sink into unnoticed insignificance in comparison with that fronting Boyd's new opera house, It is con- terring an undeserved dignity upon the tortuous little fiathwny to call it a sidewalk at all, hat portion of the city is one of the most traveled in Omaha, The street and sidewalk fronting the building are covered with piles of stone, lumber, iron and building material. At night when the street lamps are unlighted, or for that matter when they are, a pedestrian goes blindly groping along, liable at any moment to stumble headforemost over an obstruction and distribute around exposed portions of his cuticle. As the executive of the city, Mayor Boyd ought to take a stroll there some dark night and grope for himself. The crosswalk in the alley just north of 212 South Thirteenth stroet, is a most approved pattern of man-trap. It consists merely of a fow large stones sot edgowise, With a critical eye to the best way of breaking limbs, the stones are separated about a foot from each other, thus giving every opportu- nity for one to stumble over them. The ornate expressions used in refer- ence to this crosswalk after nightfall would probably shock polite ears, but they are very expressive and vigor- ous. The crosswalk from Thirteenth street to the Creighton House might readily be improved upon by a person never gifted with eyesight, Just west of the Creighton house is an unoccupied building, the sidewalk in front of which seems to have been lost lifht of by the owner, If he town 16, range 11, east q. c. c.

The yesterday announcing that | west The crossings on the south and east sides of Sixteenthand Jackson streets are in a horrible condition, The same may be said of the cross- ings on Fifteenth and Sixteenth and Howard streets. The four crossings at Fourteenth and Harney would stand a wonderful sight of improvement. On the west side of Tenth street, north of the corner of Jackson street, there is a piece of sidewalk which pro- bably causes as many barked shins and loud and quiet swearing as an other in the city. This walk eand.’; in front of three stores adjoining each other, and in passing over this short space the estrian first stumbles down four steep, narrow steps, then falls up two steps and finally drops off the walk into Jackson street over the little three steps intended for him to make the last descent upon. Farther on up Tenth street comes the greatest nuisance in this line to be tound in the city, namely the walk along the culvert and ombankment mxuimwuth Omaha creck, On the ide & small pretense to a walk is made, but it is always in an abomin- able condition, whilé on the east side, there is no walk atall, and people The building stone littered on the sidewalk fronting James M. Wool- worth’'s spacious residence on St. Mary's avenue, form a pretty ruin,but make it inconvenient and dangerous work for pedestrians at night time, There are several strotches of side- walk along St. Mary’s avenue, nearer the base of the hill, that receive much more attantion from pedestrians than from those owning the abutting prop- erties. MRS. MORTON'S DEATH, A Few Faotsin the Life of a Noted Lady. From the Nebraska City News is learned tho death of Mrs, Catharine F. Morton, a lady well known and highly revered in Omaha, The News 8 Just as the clock was striking 8, this morning, the spirit of g{ra. Catharine F. Morton, ascended to the Giod who gave it, and all her earthly trials and sufferings were over, Since January last she has been con- fined to her bed with arthitis, one of the most painful diseases known, and has suffered almost everything. Dur- ing the last){two months but little hopes were entertained for her re- covery, still she did not complain but bore her sufferings with fortitude and resignation, About a week ago she befin to show signs of failing, rs, Morton was born in Maine, in 1834, and at an early age moved to Detroit, Mich., where she grew into womanhood, and was a graduate, we believe of the Ann Arbor college. She was marriod at Detroit, on Octo- ber 31st, 18564, and with her husband came to this—then unsettled —coun- trg, arriving hero in November, 1854, They remained at Omaha and Belle- hour, but the quantity of water dis- charged was immense and almost in- credible, No ordinary storm cloud ever discharged such a quantity of water in such a short time. This was an extraordinary phenomena. There are facts which lead to the belief that here was the center of a rotary storm reaching over a consider- able extent of country, and that here was exhibited its greatest intensity. There was little or no wind here, while at points two or three miles from the city the wind almost amount- ed to a hurricane. It may be safe to affirm that this deluge was not the re- sult of simple condensation, but what is sometimes called a waterspout ‘*‘cloud-burst,” in other words that it was an electrical phenomena. A review of the situation after the flood and the testimony of persons in different parts of the city gives some idea of its extent and the dam- age done. Several of the principal streets were filled with water to the depth of two or three feet, while all below Seventh It would surely bring health and hap- piness. “‘To what do you refer” asked the citizen. “‘Why, to this great enterprise, the waterworks; pure Missouri river water willbe a boom indeed,” msaid the stranger “Do you see nothing?” “‘Nothing.” “‘And do you smell nothing,"” “Well, it don’t smell muchlike sure water— (Gas, be gum!” ssid the stran- ger, holding his nose.

Shugert, has been handsomely fitted up and is now oe- cupied by Potter & Palmer, ticket brokers. Main street in the vicinity of the post office presented a lively “appear- ance this forenoon. It was se blocked with teameters that it was with diffi- culty carriages could get through. The comet's tail has been cut off by astronomets. They started it at 4,000,000 nziles in length, now they say it is only something over 400,000 in length, A linseed oii factory, a button and comb factory, glu cose works and a distillery ehould be erectedin Council Bluffs. ~And they will be.

Manufactories and public improve- ments are the main topics of conver- sation among business men: on the streets. It is not yet certainly known by what route the Milwaukee will enter the city. Many citizens are anxious to have it take the Indian Creek route.. This would undoubtedly be batter for the city and probably finally forthe railroad also.

Indian creck here burst its banks and added its volume to the flood. Sidewalks were swept away in various parts in the city, in several places brick walls were torn down and heavy stones moved, so great was the force of the moving wind. Many merchants suf- fered by water pouring into their cel- lars, while on the lower side quite a number of residences were gelugad with water and mud, A At the Northwestern depot the track was covered with mud {o rthe depth of several inches, and much damage was done to sdewalks and other property. .

She leaves a husband, four children and a large circlo of friends to mourn herloss. 4 The Lightaing's Work: Considering the fierceness of the storm and the painfully vivid light ning Wednesday there was much less damage done in this city than was to be expected. The following were learned: A tree near Twenty-second and Farnham street was struck and con- siderably shattered by lightning last evening, The) lightning struck the lightn- ing rod of ahouse on Twelfth and Jackson streets, but fortunately did no damage. During the storm last night the lightning struck one of the smoke stacks at the smelting works, doiug no damage, but frighiening the senses have terraced the embankment with paths at didicrent heights. As these almost out of about thirty-five work- weu. damage done to the furniture, C. A, Beebe, on Broadway, sus- tained about 8300 damage to his fur- niture by the flood. The first tloor and basement of 8. 8. Keller's furniture store wera in- vaded, but not much damage resulted. Estimated at $100. A portion of the wall of Mr. Muel- lBl"l{:o ding, now being erected on Main street, was washed in, causing considerable loss to the contractor, Mr. Staub. The Western Union Telegraph oftice was flooded and several inches of mud left on the floors. i The heavy brick and stone wall in front of Mrs. Platner's brick resi- denco on Broadway was nearly all swept away. e C. & N. W, R. R. track was swept away this side of Honey creek and the morning train delayed. The C., B. & Q. depot was struck by lishtning but no serious damage was done. Mr. Stoub lost heavily at his brick yard. His entire loss is estimated at about $800. There were very many who suffered more or less from the invasion of their dwellings.
