The ladies of the Baptist church are te give a social this evening at the church parlors, Oengressman Burrows, of Michigan, spoaks here to-night. Everybody should hear him, Lu B. Lake, of Clarinda, has been writing some_ rattling campaign songs, which are being readify taken up and used, Jacob Sims, Esq., went to Hancock yesterday to address the people thereand enthuse the Republicans, as he can do whon he gots fairly at it. To-night he is to speak at Walnut. The home for the friendless has beon generously remembered by H. R. J, ones, the Bm.dywny stove dealer, who has pre. the latest styled sented it with one of square hard coal heaters. The funeral of Mrs. James Madden was held yesterday, and was very largely at- tended, the long residence of the family here and the extent of their acquaintance causing many friends to joinin the proper l‘l:owing of respect, esteom and sympa- thy. In the United States court yumd_ny forenoon was taken up with the hearing of motions, etc. In the afternoon the a0 of O, Halbers & Co., of St. Louis, va. Allen & Co., of Lennox, was called. A jury was waived and trial had by the court. Itisagrain case, and the hear ing was not completed at the hour of adjournment. The complaint about the water works company leaving ridges in the streets where liair pipes are laid, is offsetby the claim that the company in laying its pl{lm packed the dirt solid, and that bein, the only solid spot in a street, the rest being soft, the wheels driven over it out away the loose dirt on each side, leaving the #olid ridge. In the Supreme Court yeshrdlyl an information was drawn up by Col. Dailey who it is understood is rfimméd for tl:}t: rosecution, chargi r. Cross wil gmrder. Coronerng'aul signed the in- formation, and a warrant was issued. Dr, Cross will probably not be brought up for a preliminary examination until to- morrow, or perhaps not until Saturday. The dummy train is to begin running up Union avenue toBroadway next Wedn- esday evening, the first one leaving Omnin at 6:50 a.m., and the next at 8 o'clock, at which hour the first one will also leave here for Omaha, and one FAIRMOUNT PARK. The Talk About Adding to Tts Beauty and Conventence, The presence in the city of Mr, A. N Carpenter, the landscape architect from Galesburg, 111, has caused some talk about the improvement of Fairmount park, the mayor and council having been consulting with him, and getting at his ideas. Mr., Carpenter's method is unique and quite philosophic. Tnstead of planning the work ashe goes aleng, he does all his planning beforehand, the first step being to get the exact data of distances, levels, peints of view, etc.,, and then having gathered up every minute fact, prepare a plan en this hnniu.}»rnvidinu for theprac tical as well as the beautiful, so that while beauty is added, the convenionce and durability of the work may be no less promoted. The plans being as accurate. ly prepared as those of an architect of a house, the work can then be exccuted in accordance with the plan. In view of the fact that tho necessary data has not been gathered yet, Mr. Carpenter only gives hints as to what might be dono He suggests that as the water works furnish two fountains for the park, that possibly it could be arranged to have the water supply put into a reser- voir or little lake, and the feuntains then supplied from this, they being located lower down. Then he suggests the possibility of having seme littleboil- ing springs and other water delights which could be arranged with very little cost. He also suggosts somo things con- cerning a conservatory or observatory, flower beds, a place to keep animals, ete., all of which snggoestions aro to be considered in making plans for future improvements. One of the most inter. esting suggostions is the possibility of aving a tunnel leading into the park, a novelty possessed by no other park in this country, 8o far as heard from. From what he has seen of the lay of the land, he believes this is possible and practica- ble and that the soil is such that in two or three places a hole dug through would need no further improvement, beyond the approaches and water-ways to keep it rom washing away, The chief cost of such a tunnel would bo the taking away of the dirt, and as dirt is needed for filling atreets, the cost would be little. A park with a tunnel would be a novelty indeed. Of courso all these suggestions could not bo carried out in one year or two years, but Mr, Carpenter’s ‘iden is in proparing plans to have them so that a portion of the work, a certain part of the ground ocould be all finished and be completed in itself, and then another part could be dony, and so on, each section complete, and yet all in accordance with a plan making them as a8 one. In this way the public could enjoy the full benefit of the work 80 far a8 it progresses, whereas if a little is done here and there all over the park, it would be no satisfaction until nll completed, and much of the work would run to waste by being loft incomplete from one season to another. Mr. Carpenter is charmed with the natural scenery of Fairmount park, as is everybody whe sees it, and he can peculiarly appreciate the possibility of making it one of the most delightful parks in the whole country, will leave for each side of the river every hour after that during the day. The Ppromise to have a dummyeveryhalf hour, will not be met until the track gots set- tled a little, and matters are a little more fully arranged. The State Leader chronicles the fact that the Pilcher Electrio Light Construo- tion eoms:y has establi a local com. pany in Moines to control the busi- ness there, and has tions with 100,000 capital stock. ' The construction company is the same as that which is now preparing to light Council Bluffs, and is_officered C. T, Bowen, sruidem; W. R. Vnus‘ n, vice-presi- lent and treuu’?:, and Rufus H.

Burke returned yesterday from the s oldiers’ reunion at Ma ville, and reports that all are having a happy time there, and the reunion is in all re- agecu proving successful as well as enjoy- able. The leading features on the pro- gramme for yesterday were a stroet pa- rade and grand review, with addresses several. To-day is the election of of. ficers, the location of a place for next year's reunion, dmmming a soldier out A of cam, addresses, a sham battle, ote.

The Bungling and Slow ‘Way in Which Improvements are Made, A good deal of the time of the last council meeting was spent in discussing stroot and sidewalk improvements and justly 60, and yot if there was loss dis- cussing and loss cussing, and more down- right steady work it would be better. Broadway is in horrible condition, espe- cially lower Broadway, where it was ordered filled up. The filling up was let by contract and then permission was given to private Property owners to fill up in front of their own pro rty if they preferred to do so inuiumy of letting the city contractor do it. Several haye ex. prossed themsolves as preforring to do their own filling, and while waiting for them to do #o they in turn have boen waitin, for ethers to grade wp to them, so that their fill would not be a solitary dump in the street. By thus waiting, one for the other, and the city for them all, ‘there has been no work dono of lato, ond what has been done seems only to keep the water from running off, nd this gathers it in great pools, Tho dilly- dallying way of doing bnsiness has caus- ed Broadway to become in a horrible con. dition, and “now as cold weather ap- Proaches there seems o pretty good pros- pect for the work to remain in a bad condition all winter, The council has ordered the contractors to Ko right ahead with the work and complete it at once, but the contractors hesitate some as they have some doubts about the legality of the proceedings. The whole ~ matter soems badly mixed, as the mud itself which now makes the street almost im- passable, and the sidewalks dangerous oven to waders with rubber boots and leggings. he condition of Main atroet is also bad; thus the twoprinciple streots, Main and Breadway, are made . disgrace to the city, as well as & great hindrance to its growth and business. Some timo ago, perhaps thero are old residents stil] liy- ing who can tell when, the work of bringing Main street up to grade com- menced. The filling has been done, and some of the stone curbing put in, but still thero are long gaps of the latter and long strotches where there is no sidewalk atall, The council has issued another dét that brick sidewalks, ten foot wide, bo built along both sides of Broadway, from Sixth avenue to Sixteenth avenuo, but there is about the same prospect of delay and trouble in executing the order that charactorizes the other work attempted by the city, There are some good lank walks down in spots, and t) will probably be left undisturbed, Then thoso who have e walk at all will kick because those who have plank walks arg ot compelled to obey the order and lay brick, There are somo lots unfilled, ahd the filling of the sidewalk will Uy support a brick walk, as it wash there is no w like one of plank, In fact there fy ail sorts of trouble threatoned before this sidewalk order can bo enfor, od, There is also complaint that where the waterworks company kag luid pipes there P the walk, A. 8.
