Here and there were fertile patches of farming ground, the golden grain giving a rich coloring to the landscapo and losing it self in the encircling walls of the can- yons, Arriving at MISSOURL VALLEY, the visitors found themselves with about two hours' time on their hands, and this was spent in looking about tho city, which is ono of the pleasantest spots along the big river.

Morrimon, Buchanan and Lawler, the well-known officials of the rond and at dusk the :{mm’nl train pulled out for Chicago, and the Omaha and Oouncil Bluff's visitors took the regular train for home. The following descrip- tion of the bridge was furnished the press by the officials: HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE, The bridge, which cost about £1,000,- 000, has been built by and is the prop ty of the Missouri Valley and Blair Rail way Bridge company, a corporation or- ganized especially for the construction of this bridge. It is located about two miles from the town of Blair, near the transfer crossing of the Sioux City and Pacific railroad, and will be operated as a part of that railroad. On this section of the river the banks arefive to ten or more miles apart; the country between them being tho usunl Missouri river bottorr land. Fora dis- tance of about fifty miles the river does not strike either bluff, but wanders back and forth in the bott>)m lands with no fixed banks to correct its course; the proverbial instability of the Missouri river is nowhere more prominently felt than here. The commercial necessities of the case required that the bridge shauld bo built, and the physical con- ditions of the situation made it necessary to give the river an artificial 51> lity which nature had not given it. (1. work of controlling the river hasi quite as important as the construction - the bridge. The first examinations for the bridgoe at this point were made in the winter of 188182, theso oxaminations consisting of surveys and borings. The surveys showed that the general course of the river was such that by holding certain governing points on the east shoro, and by render- ing the west shore permanent, the chan- nel could be cenfined within a narrow limit which could be spanned by a bridge without unreasonable expense. The borings showed that solid limestone rock existed a little more than fifty feet below the assumed low water level, and the rock being unusually level, and in every respect being well calculated to sustain the piers of a bridge. As the result of these examinations a plan was deter- mined upon for the rectification of the river, and a site selected for the bridge. As the bridge was to be built across the river, when confined by artificial means, and no longer free to cisnge its course in day was to be celebrated. The train consisted of an engine, a coach and two elegant ial cars. ial Chicago and Northwestern ixon,” was occupied by the fol- lowing persons: Superintendent J, D.

The two transfer steamers which have here- tofore carried the freight and passengers across the river lay at their moorings on the Nebraska side, and the river was filled with numerous small craft, whilo the west bank was thickly lined with carriages and wagons filled with gentlemen and ladies who camo dywn to see the testing of the structure, which furnishes an additional tio botwoen the two States.

While the muu'v': l:\h: chines stood quietly in place on the bridge, the engineers were gu-y measur- ing the deflection, which work was re peated on each of the three spans, The maximum deflection, under the sordinary pressure of 308 tons, was two inches, and upon the removal of the weight the bridge at once sprang back in- to its original position.

These three spans contain 1,465, 000 pounds of wrought. ron and 888, 000 pounds of steel, beside 48,000 pounds of cast iron in pedestals, ete. The deck spans are 110 feet long, the shore ends resting on inexpensive iron cylinder piers of the Cushing pattern; each span is aivided into_five panels of twenty-two feet each, with the addition of a panel of iron floor beyond. These deck spans contain 350,000 pounds of iron and steel. The iron and steel work work was fabricated and erected by the tone Bridge Company, of Pittsburg, Pa., from detailed plans propared by the engineer of the Musouri Valley and Blair Railway and Bridge Company. The floor beams and track stringers are of iron, and on them is laid a safety floor of heavy oak ties, placed only six inchos apart, with heavy angle iron guard rails with foot walk and light hand rail on each side, Tho east approach is about two miles long from its connection with the old Sioux City & Pacific track to the eastern the iron work. When completed will consist entirely of an earth em- bankment; but to save time, and owing to the absence of matertal for an em- bankment, the 3,000 feet nextnext to the bridge have been built in the form of a temporary timber trestle. The comple- tion of the bridge renders access easy to the clay blufls on the east side, and the whole trestle will be filled at once to a safe height above high water, and the whole of it will be replaced by an em- bankment before the life of the timber is spent, The west approach is abcut a mile and one-half long trom the connection with the Sioux City and Paciffc track near Blair to the west end of the iron work, the distance from the edge of the bluff to the 'river being about a half a mile. There is a trestle on this approach about 1,000 feet long over Fish creek, the old Sioux City and Pacific track and the in- termediate ground. Between this trestlo and the bridge there is an embankment from forty to fifty feot high which has been built by ‘steam shovel work with clay taken from the west bluff. It was ex- pected to have this embankment entirely comploted before theopeningof the bridge, character as the features of the river at|buta serious settlement occurred at s points where its channel has long been | place where it crosses an old slough, the permanent have shown to be ,necessary. | total settlement being apparently as On that portion of the Missouri be- | much as 30 feet, while the ground on the tween the Platte and Kaw rivers where |sides has been forced up 14 feet high. the blufls are but two or three miles| Borings at the sink ehowed a great apart, many places are to be found fof mud and clay, though the bed of the where the channel has been permanent | old slough was scarcely visible on the for a long series of years; in these places the width of the river does not exceed 1,000 feet, and is sometimes materially less. It was determined, therefore, to make the permanent bridge 1,000 feet long, to protect the shore by rip-rap and mattrass work until it should be as stable as a rocky bluff, and to close all slough channels on the east side so that the river would have no room for a width greater than that found at the stable places below. This bridge is the eleventh constructed across the fi[isnouri river. At several others important rectification works have been required, but it is the first bridge located at a place which may be des- cribed as absolutely unstable, with no permanent shore line on either side. The rectification works consist, first, of a rip-rap protection of a governing point on the east side about two miles above the bridge, this point being se- lected with reference to throwing the channel against the west bank, second, of a dyke extending across the sand bar, 600 feet above the ghridge line, and ter- minating opposite the east pier of the bridge; third, of the revetment, partially of brush but principally of stone on the west bank of the river, from below the bridge line te thepoint where the current deflected from the east side strikes this shore. The upper protection on the east side was bogun in the spring of 1882, and the overning point was held against a vio- ent current during the whole summer of that year, and ugain in the following year up to this date. Thirty thousand five hundred tons of rip-rap stone and 3,600 cords of brush have been used in this work, The dyke was built of willow mattrass work, wired togetherand heavily weighted with stone. This mattrass work was finished at about high water lev- ol and connected with tho high- er land further east by an earth embankment. There have been con- sumed in this dyke work to date 5,600 tims of stone and 6 500 cords of brush, The earth embankment portion suffered somewhat by the freshet of last summer, but the damage was more than compen- sated for by a large deposit of sand made on the sand-bar by the water which passed through the gap. The revetment on the west shore was begun in the summer of 1882, a line having been fixed beyond which it was determined the river should not en- croach. Little work was done, however, until 1883, when the river camo with full violence against this shore lie, a depth of over 60 feet being sometimes observed in the channel, which was next to the west shore. To this date 79,000 tons of stone and 71,000 cords of brush have been used in this part of the work, The river has been held at the line selected for protection, and the fact that the channel has been scoured out to the limestono rock proves that this protec- surface. The bank has been brought to grade and has acquired a permanent sta- bility, but the extra amount of material in this work has prevented its completion in season for the bridge, and required the building of a short piece of trestle work at the east end of the bank. The staff of engineers and the princi- pal contractors for this work have been as follows: Chief engineer, Geo. S. Morison. Resident assistants—First assisstant engineer, H. W. Parkhurst; assistant engineer, Emil Gerber. Non-resident assistants—Assistant of superstructure, C. C. Schueider; inspec- tors, W. F. Zimmermann, G. C. Hen- ning. Contractors of masonry, T.

The Captain o Police Narrowly KEs- capes Being Killed For a Burglar. About one o'clock Sunday morning Captain Donahoe, of the police force, narrowly escaped being killed by a clerk in J. J. Brown & Co.’s dry goods store, who mistook the stalwart policeman for a burglar. It appears that a few minutes before this some person, supposed to be Ed. Galligan, smashed in a pane of glass and Donahge and Officer Lane, hearing the noise, ran up in order to provent any of the goods being stolen from the inside. While the captain was standing out in front of the door the clerk, who had heard the noise and was alarmed think- ingthata burglarwas trying to go through the store, came out from the rear and seeing Donahoe, fired three shots at him in rapid succession, one of which came so close that it went through his sleeve. Donahoe called to him to stop shooting, and the clerk did so, when he learned his mistake and felt rather humiliated when he found that he had been shooting at one who was in reality protecting the stock. It was a narrow escape for the policeman, and but for the fortunately poor marksmanship of the clerk there would be a vacancy on the force. At the same time the clerk is not to be blamed, as any one would be glad to have a burg- tion will be permanent, The bridge proper consists of three through spans of iron and steel restin, on four masonry piers with a short dec! span at each end. The through spans are each 330 feet long between centers ot pins, and the diatance from center to center of the east and west piers is 900 feet, The length of the permanent iron structure is 1,270 feet. Thelower chords of the (.hmugil spans are placed fifty feet above high water, thus giving free pas- sage to steamboats without a draw. "The four piers are built of yellow sand- stone from Mankato, Minn., the cut waters of the two channel piers being of ranite quarried near St. Cloud, Minn, Sach of the four piers is founded on a timber caisson b4 feet long and 26 feet wide, sunk to the rock below by the plenum-pneumatic process, and filled with the best Portlaud cement concrete. Air pressure was put on the first caisson on the 22d of November, 1882, and the last foundation was ° com- pleted on the 10th of April, 1883, The bed of the river was found at an av- erage depth of b1 feet below water, and the extreme difference in the depth of the four foundations being only about two foot. There are n these four piers 4,331 cubio yards of masonry, 90,000 cubic feet of concrete, and 400 {1 B. M, The foundations were put in by the com- pany's men without a contruct.

She Plays Before a Large and En- thusiastic Audience and is Given a Hearty Greeting, At an early hour last evening the Ger. man theater was packed, both in the aud- itorium and galleries, with an unusually large gathering of German citizens who had been attracted there by theannounce- ments made in the papers that the popu- lar and talented actress, Mrs. Kraft- Frey, would make her debut on this oc- casion and undoubtedly those who were fortunate enough to be present went home with the conviction that they had been well repaid for the troublo they took in wading through the somewhat muddy streets to reach the theater, Mrs, Kraft-Frey is what might be termed a truly magnificent blonde with a commanding figure and a thorough Las- con appearance. Although somewhat in- clines to embonpoint, she never- theless moves about the stage with the graceful movements of a fairy and in all her gestures evincs the training of an artiste. She is Jike- wise blessed with a sweet soprano voice, which she knows how to use with great effect. Those who know her say she ex- cels in comedy more than in_tragedy, al- though the part she sustained so ably last night Jwas more in the tragic line than anythig else. In the affecting scenes she became very pathetic and many a brawny Teuton and fair maiden applied their {mndkel‘chiuf& to their eyes. At times the silence was so intensely still that one might literally have heard a thunderbolt drop had one happened to have fallen. Thovisitors to the German theater are, however, very orderly, and there is neverany of that whistling and other unpleasant noises in which the gods in the galleries of most of our Amer- scan theaters seem to take such great de- light. ng. Hauck, as Ferdinand, a Roman emperor, performed his part admirably. In fact he always attains success in any part he undertakes. Mr. Molchin, who is so well and favorably known to fre- quenters of the German theater, per- sonated the character of Archduke Fer- dinand in a very life-like manner and nis make-up was very appropriate. The role of Duke Frank of Thurn was al- lotted to Mr. Penner, who acquitted himself very creditably and Mr. Pechtal made an excellent Frank Welser." Mr. Baureis as Mathias Overstolz, an old and respected patrician played with his accustomed artistic skill. He also appeared in another role, that of a peasant.

On Saturday the gentlemen who are interested in the new .addition to Omaha, which has been described from time to time by T'me Bex under its pre- sumed name of New Edinburg, drove out to the site of the coming Seventh ward with a number of friends. Many of them had not before seen the land they had purchased, but they were all well pleased with its location and ad- vantages. It covers an area two miles wide, and a mileand a half long, equal to 3,200 blocks as they are laid out in son. Mr. Lindemann as the servant, Conrad, and Mr. Jedder's as Marshall, were both good. Among the ladies who appeared on this occasion were Mrs, Baureis, as Catha- rina, a very charming widow; Miss Thiessen as Anna Welser, the wife of the old patrician, and Mrs. Lindemann as Brigitte, the maid. Mra. Puls-Ahl made a very successful hit as Kadislaus, the archduke’s page. Sho_ has a fascinating figure, which was doubly attractive in male attire. The Musical Union orchestra enlivened the piece throughout with a very care- fully chosen selection of popular airs, At the close of the histrionic portion of the programme the seats in the audito- rium were stored away and the aulience joined in the festive dance with much enthusiasm. Mrs. Kraft-Froy may well feel proud of the hearty reception she received on her first appearance in the wild west, and it is to be hoped her eharming figure will often grace the boards of the German stage.

Having given you last Sabbathevening a brief account of the growth of the Ro- man church, and of some of the unsuc- cessful attempts at reform, I come to- night to speak of certain clearer and more successful influences that ushered in the reformation. Before the morning comes there are always promonitory flashes of light which, if they may not dispel the mists, at least show their exis- tence and density. So there were heroic thinkers before Luther, who by the brightness of their piety revealed the darkness of the corruption in the church, although they were not able to removeit. 1t is to the lives of some of these that I wish te call your attention to-night. Aud as a motto that they all acted upon 1 bave chosen the words of the apostler, *Wu ought to obey God rather thau men." ‘Tho men who precede a great move- ment are by no means to be forgotten. ‘They should share in the honor of the more fortunate ones who see the accom- Let us love the Christ 'hat gave them the victory and we shall be saved, ————— AnjAnswer Wanted.

They must bear the ridicule of out liberty of conscience and the right of private judgment, there can be no free government, Hence the need of con- stant vigilance in guarding and defend- ing the great principles, which were vin- dicated by the Reformation. As the 10th of November falls this year on Saturday, the Alliance would re- spectfully suggest that meetings be held on that day where convenient, and pas- tors are respectfully invited on the fol- lowing Lord's Day, November 11, to bring before the people in sermons or in other addresses tK: value and blessings of the Reformation, and of those quick- ening doctrines of life and of duty to which it reawakened the world, Our gratitude to Almighty Ged for that de- liverance from the bondage of error and superstition, and our sense of the un- speakable value of an unfettered Bible and freodom of conscience will find fit expression in the celebration of an event that marks the emancipation of the mind of man and the rise of free institutions. In many places of the Old World ar- rangements are made for great assemblies of the people to listen on that day to appropriate instruction, and with prayers and psalms to make expression of grati- |tude and joy.
