Boyd Touches the Magio Bar And a Sixteen Inch Column of Flaid is Discharged. As the olocks indicated 10:15 yester- day morning there was quite a notable gathering in the water works engine house near the river to witness the initial trial of one of the new pump- ing engines. Among the party were J. D. Cook, consulting engineer of the water works, Nathan Shelton, Chief Engineer Davis, of the water- works, Mayor Boyd, Milton Rogers, Samuel R. Johnson, president city waterworks, J. 8, McUormick, Charles Childs, ““Doe.” Smith, A. L. Strang, Chas. Dewey, and George Hargreaves, of the B. & M. At a given signal Mayor Boyd stepped forward and with a slight motion of his wrist sent the steam sizzing against the cylinder, and the ponderous pumping engine got down to business for the first time since it has been erected. No jolt or jar accompanied the starting, and the huge machine seemed a monument of concentrated power. Kach stroke of the piston sent fifty-three gallons, or nearly two barrels, into the receiving basin. This was the only engine run, except the little ‘‘donkey,” which supplies the boilers. The other engine, which is of somewhat greater capacity will not be ready for two or three days. At noon the single pump- ing engine was running with five pounds pressufe of steam at the cylin- der and thirty at the boilers. his was sufficient force to send a sixteen inch column of water up ninety- two feet to where it was discharged into the basin, This engine is of about 400 horse power and has itself a capacity of about 2,000,000 gallons. At 11:45 the first receiving basin had about two teet of water in it. Owing to the dry condition of the em- bankment the water will require more time to settle than it will some time tocome. ‘'I'he fact that the mains have been laying unused so long and are 80 filled with dirt willprevent them for some time after they are filled from discharging clear water. These matters, however, will not take long to remecdy. The engine house is not entirely gompleted as far as ornamentation goes, but looks neat and cosey. P.T. Martin is the engineer in charge and H. C. Pearson is his assistant The water as it is pumped into the settling basin, is remarkably clear. After sottling for a time it is forced into what is known as the clear water basin and then pumped into the pipes. The labor on the water works was begun laat fall, but the very large pro- portion of it was finished since last ay. Over twenty-eight miles of pipo have been laid, and there is prob- ably less than four to lay yet. The rumored change of grade in some streets retarded work there. One- fourth of the embankment of the set- Mayor D. K. Tuttle, of Baitimore, whois large- ly interested in the. White Lead works here, is registéred at the Withnell. J. D.

McNamara and wife left for an extended pleasure trip in the cast yester. day. They will visit Boston and the tling basin was completed last fall. It is over half finished now, The work has been pushed through with wonderful celerity. GREAT GROWTH Of the Y. M, O, A. Since Its Organization, History of tho So:det; Work it is Doing, Sunday evening Dr. Deniso gave & brief outline of the work of the Y. M. 0. A., in the First M. E. chuich. In the courso of his address he said that the Christian church had claimed a close relationship with the Y. M. C. A. becauso it was called a christian nassociation, but he thought they could claim that it belonged to the Metho- dists, because it was composed of lay members of the church, In 1844, George Walliams being struck with the degradation that prevailed among the young men employed in mercantile houses in the city of London, formed an association for the intellectual and spiritual improvemsnt of young men of that metropolis, and this was the beginning of the Y. M. O, A, This work has rapidly increased not only throughout Europe but in Asia and Africa. There ave 1431 nssocia- tions that are known in all parts of the world, in Switzeclond, Russia, Parkey, Tudia, Jappn, Australia, and wherever the name of Ohrist has been proclaimed. In America the first souiety was organized in 1857 in Montreal and in Boston, During the time of the rebelhion there was some falling off, but since that time the association has been steadily aug- menting its members, Almost every state and territory in the land and every province in Canada is rep resented. Nine hundred and three societies are known to exist and over seven Lundred were represented [ the last convention at Oleveland. There are thirty-nine members of the exeoutive committee which is centralized in New York. They have forty-six corresponding members throughout the whole coun- try, a correurmnling member for every state and territory., These are d¥fferent watering places, and will be absent about five weeks, s i s MY - Miss Ella T solicits sewing " by the day or vn.

In addition to that they have niue secretavies, a general secrotary, & travoling secretary, a western secretary, a ncmtu-] for the colored people, a secretary for qullugel, o railroad sceretary, ~ The first secretary selected WS the western secretary, represented by Dr. Weide In 1808 it was thought by the Y.

Since thenhe has been appointed by the central committee as western secreta- $14 and the/ ry st o salary of £1,000 a year. There are eight hundred thousand railrond men whose religious interests have to be looked after. Tn another branch, that is the commercial travelers who have been describod as the brass band of the ten thousand, another secretary was appointed. Then the Gor- man secretary was doing good work., He did not know a single (terman church in Omaha that would o out of its way to get in a newly or- rived emigrant, This was just the work the (German secretary did. The work of the Y. M. C. A. did not in- torfere in any way with any of the churches. Tt was simply a work for young men by young men. A FRACTURED SKULL. The Result of a Too Rapid Ride on an Elevator. Serions Acoident in a Farnham Street Buailding An accident which is likely to prove fataloccurred yesterday in Burns’, new building, on the north side of Farn- ham, between Fourteenth and Fif- teenth streets, the victim being John Hansen. Hansen was engaged in work on the building and was laboring on the third stery when the noon whistle blew for dinner, After putting on his coat he he started to descend to the ground floor by means of the ladders ordina- rily used by the workmen, but chang- ing his mind concluded to descend by way of the elevator, The elevator was of the ordinary kind used by con- tractors to hoist materials for the building. It was double acting, one platform descending while the other as- cended. An empty platform stood at the third story, the one on the ground floor being Toaded with a whoelbarrow partially filled with brick. As Han- son and a fellow workman named An- ton Deerman stepped over the plat- form their weight mo e than counterbalanced the wheelbarrow at the other end and the ele- vator descended with great rapidity. The brick-loaded platform struck the top just as Hansen and Deerman reachied the bottom, and the jar upset- ting the wheelbarrow hurled the brick down the hatchway, one of them striking Hansen on the forehead, and knocking him senseleas. Medical assistance was at once summoned, when it was discover- od that a severe fracture of the skull was the result of the accident. The injured man was removed to his residence on Burt and Nichols street. Drs. Chadwick and Peabody, after an examination found that trephining was necessary, and pro- ceeded to perform the operation. = At Inst accounts Hansen was reported as being in a dangerous condition, though doing as well as could be ex- pected under the circumstances. NARROW ESCAPE. Hon. A. J. Poppleton and Family Meet withan Ac- cident. An accident, which might have terminated fatally, occurred yester- day on the old military road near Irvington. Hon. A. J. Poppleton with his wife and daughter, were on their way at the time to Mr. Popple- ton's farm. They had reached the summit of tho steep hill which leads down into Irvington, when a part of the harness connected with the neck yoke gave way. This frightened the horses, which are very spirited. and they started ata rapia goit down the hill. 'This hill has «l- ways been considered a very danger- ous place for travel, as in addition to the declivity thereisa long narrow bridge crossing the Papillion directly at the foot of it. The Papillion at this point runs between very high and precipitous banks. The “horses tore down the hill and it looked as though it would go hard with the oceupants of the carriage. Mr. Popple- ton and his family were saved almost by a miracle from destruction, Just as the horses reached the foot of the hill they ran into a post which stands in front of a blacksmith's shop at the edge of the bank of the stream. The carringe was overturned and the oo- cupants thrown violently to the earth, Mr. Poppleton wus more seriously hurt than either of the ladies, Ho was badly shaken up and cut and bruised about the head and face. Mrs, Pop- pleton and her daughter sustained no further injuries than severe jarring and fright. Considering the locality ic was truly a wonderful escape from a horrible death, Oue of the animals attached to the carriage will die, It struck its breast with great force against the post, tearing away a large rtion of it, The horse wus a valua- le one and had, been raised by Mr, Poppleton himself. — Joseph Durrinburger, Broadway, Buffalo wis induced by rfih broth ¥ to tiy TrouAs' Eokoriic Oin for a sprained ankle, and with half & dozen_applications he wus enabled to walk r und again al right, aug 7-epalw, ———— .

CIdUNClL BLUFFS, Hvents in Jowa's City. Bustling Many Topics of General and Personal interest. The following article appeared in Tur Bre yesterday merning: “‘The man who took the ice out of the bar- rel standing on the corner of Pearl street and First avenue, nearjthe park, and carried it up a flight of stairs near by, will please remember that the city puts the ice in the barrel for the pur- pose of keeping the water cool. If he wants ice badly and is not able to pay for it no doubt that the city would furnish it for him. Atany rato they would prefer doing so to having the ice taken from the barrels.” It secns that this article ‘“‘stung” a couple of leading citizens who live in that vicinity. They should notice that the article did not state that the ice was carried up a pair of stairs ‘“‘opposite,” as these men claim, but says that it was carried up a ilight of stairs ncar by. Now as there are sev- eral pairs of stairs near by, and the aforesaid lump of congealed liquid might have been carried up them, we fail to see any reason why either of these worthy and esteemed fellow- citizens should claim that Tue Bee had stung them, and inflicted an irreparable injury. Notwithstanding we still say the ice was taken, whether it was taken after the water supply had been exhausted or not cannot be said, but it was taken by some person. Perhaps they might have been excusad for doing so if there was no water in the barrel. We will state that to our own personal knowledge, which' would bear but little against their general reputation in this regard, that neither of these gentlemen carried off the ice. Judge Reed’s statement about Lhe condition of the stairs leading up into the Odd Fellows’ hall leads Tue Ber to remark that its office is responsible fer a good share of it. J. W. Crassland will find his ladder in C. R. Scott’s yard. It seems that there is another chapter to the at- tompt to burglarize on last Friday. the last attempt made by the burglars was at the residence of Hon C. R. Beott, at the head of Oakland avenue. It seems that after leaving Eiseman's they took their ladder and went to Mr. Scott's residence and find- ing the bed-room window of Mr. Scott’s son Jopen placed the ladder up and entered. They man- aged to carry off young Scott’s watch, some change and a bunch of keys and were proceeding to make a general in- apection of the premises when young Mr. Scott awoke and hearing a noise in the room spoke. 'Lhe thieves im- mediately returned through his room, escaped through the open window and got away. Tt was lucky they turned the corner when they did or thoy would have carried al twenty-two calibre leaden ball around under their clothes for some little time. Erb & Duquette received a car lond of splendid watermelons, raised on the Island of Muscatine. The steps leading into Fairview cemetery are in a dangerous condition and should be seen to at once. Mrs. Metcalf, at the north end of tho Main street bridge, has a parrot that talks the Englsh language very fluently. Next Saturday evening, August 13, there will be an exciting buat race. The affair will take place on Big lake, between H. C, Gano and Ed. Bur- rows, two of the Union Pacific beys. The race will be single scull over a one mile course for a purse of $20. Two other U, P, boys, Mr. Vanorder and E. E. Anderson, intend to race. This will be simply a trial of muscle, no purse being up. The racing will take place immediately after supper. Another monster bass has been seen at Hunthorn’s lake. Mr. Henry Duffee, hearing that there was to be an out-door prayer meeting, went out to the lake on Sundsy He says the monstér fish was fully two and one- half feet in length and would weigh twenty pounds. We expect to see B. F. Shaw in these parts for the pur- pose of interviewing some of the re- sults of his “fish planting.” Quite an interesting conversation was overheard betwean two of Coun- cil Bluffs’ bolles the other evening. They were seated on the front porcl and taking in the ‘‘bright silver light of the moon,” when one of them re- marked that the moon was just beau- tiful, ““I expected Frank to-night,” she continued, languidly; ‘‘he has disappointed me, but he will come BUre LO-IMOITOW night. and then the moon will be full.” Her companion, buing somewhat waggish, remarked that she presumed the reason that Frank had not put in an appearance on the night she had expected him was beeause he was full. Not long since two citizens entered into partnership. - The question arose a3 to which name should appear first on the sign, The one claimed that be being the elder his name should first appear, ‘The other, notwith- standing this fact, claimed that his should appear first, as he was the most scientific. Then followed quite aspirited war of words, in which scicace prevailed. N. M. Williams is building a fine tencment house near his home on Grace street, opposite Broadway. A witness who had sued a man for labor done at his request, after testify- ing that he was sound both in limb and mind, on cross examination, in answer to the following question: “State if you have not, within a short tame, bean injured by a fall.” He said, ‘“No, sir; I am a good man,” “Will you state to the court if recently you did not receive a fall that incapacitated you for manual labor,” “Well, yes, I did fall down an em- bankment some time ago." . “Well, sir, you may state if you were not at that time injured so that you were unfit for manual labor. “No sir, 1 fell over the embauk- wsure, and broke one of my shoulder blades, dislocated my hip, broke my right arm above the elbow, and sprained my left wrist, but T want the jury to understand that T am a poor man and just as sound as I ever was in my life.” The juty understood it, considered the man sound, and returned a small verdict in his favor. The ladies of the First Baptist so- ciety will entertain a sociahle on Thursday evening next at their church, corner of Sixth street and First avenue. Refreshments will be served. The entertainment will con- sist of music and readings. Admis- sion free, A very large and_intellectual audi- ence greeted D, J, K. Rine, the fam- ous temperance evangelist, at the Methodist church] Sunlay evening. The church was filled to its utmost capacity. Mr. Rine convinced all that his heart is in his work. He has la- bored recently in connection with Moody and Sankey in Calitornia, where he gathered large numbers out of the gutter into the temperance fold. Mr. Rine will continue these meetings regularly during this week. It may be fun for the sprinkler and refreshing sometimes to be sprinkled free gratis, provided the water is clean. But to squirt dirty water on a passer- by, as was doneon one of the princi- pal streets in the vicinity of the Con- gregational fchurch is not an act that should be encouraged Judge Samuel Clinton has fully re- covered from his fall and is ready for business again. The board of trade will meet Weds nesday evening, August 10. Tmpor- tant business will be considered. New potatoes sold in Council Bluffs yesterday for 81.25, apples 81 25, but- ter 16 cents, eggs 12§ cents and melons 10 cents to 25 One of the street cars broke an axle near the curve on lower Broadway about 3 o'clock Sunday, while on their down trip, No damage done, only the passengers were obliged to walk the remainder of the distance. The local column of Tue Bee be- longs to the citizens of Council Bluits and if 1t ‘‘stings” sometimes it only does so that good may flow from the wound. It is said that Col. Chapman has placed his conversers over the county, whose sworn duty is to see that no del- egates have credentials in the coming county convention who are not pledged to support his henchmen for the gen- eral essembly. §§Now, Mr. Chapman, this won't win, for the people of Pot- towattamie county have their eyes wide open and are more interested in the choice ot a legislature and United Btates senator who will notice them as against the encrcachments of rail- road corporations than they are into whose basket the United States mar- shal plum shall fali. Two men who had a pint bottle of whisky in their possession were seen walking on Pearl s reet yesterday. Their movements were watched by a %asnerby. With cheek that would cause arnum'’s fat woman to rave with jealousy they walked up to the ladics’ water barrel that stands at the corner of the park, deliberately poured the whisky into the dipper, taking a turn around until all the whisky was drank. Then they took a couple dip- pers each of the water and departed, remarking that these water barrels are convenient things to have around this hot weather. Charles Beck, one of the members o the grocery firm of Beck Bros., died about four o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence, of typhoid pneumo- nia. Ho was a well known and high- ly respected citizon. Mr. Beck was a member of Hovk and Ladder com- pany No. 2. E. P. Newell, who travels in the interest of the Western Polish com- pany, of which establishment he is a memmber, started yesterdwy on an ex- tonsive business trip. Mr. Newel says that since they advertised in THE |~ Beg thn-‘{ have been unable to fill their orders, E. W. Prouty called at Tii BEE of- fice. He says his wifo can't rest well nights without she reads Tue Bkk. |, T'he bank of dirt at the south end of the Scott street bridge has beon re- moved and travel that way resumed. J. G. Lemon preached an eloquent sermon at the Firat Baptist church on Sunday morning. Three young men were going up Broadway, each riding a bicycle, on Sunday. It is presumed they were on their way from church. The firm of Ludlam & Barrey has, it is said, disolved. It would seem that the crimes against law and order in Council Bluffs have kept puace with the wmureury. In April there were sixty- six arrests made, in May seventy- seven, in June 110, in July 137, and August promises to go still higher, having to date reached 35, ‘The excavating for the Hood build- ing has been completed. It is now ready for the foundation. The Exchange Hotel was entered Saturday night and $50 stolen from a gentleman stopping there. Everything considered, yesterday was a rather quiet one up "at Judge Burke's court, Jack Shield, how- ever, took on board a little too much drink, and went for a woman with a brick. He was conseqnently hauled over the coals, but was so drunk that the court deferred sentence. John Suel got wild and drove his horse too fast. Not having sense enough to know he was not on the driving park track instead of Broad- way, he was confronted by the court with a fine of $3.85, including costs, |3 and in default was committed. Wm, Jones, for intoxication, in default of paying 83 and costs for his fun was committed. The members of the fire depart- ment are hereby requested to meet at their respective engine houses at 2 o'clock p. m. , for the purpose of attending the funeral of their es- teemed brother, Charles Beck, By order of the fire department.
