Yesterday afternoon about b o'clock the ceremony of breaking ground for the new Bpiscopal church took place. The site selected is on Sixth street, on the lot adjoining that on which the rectory stands and ini the rear of the prosent church, The architect, S. E. Maxon, spread the plans of the new structure before those present, and after consultation with some of the leading members of the parish the lines were laid out, s0o as to fix approximately the center of the tow- er to be built on the southwest corner, It was at this spot that the ground was first broken. There were a goodly number present, and a brief service was conducted by the rector, Rev. Mr. Mackay, who read selec- tions from the scriptures concerning the building of the tabernacle, the passages selected being appropriate to this occa- sion, Prayer was then offered, and the rector then made a short address, setting forth the requisites for the successful completion of the structure, and earnestly urging his parishioners to show patience, endurance, zeal, and liberality. D. C. Bloomer, the senior member was then called upon. He said that, as he had been going about with Mr. Maxon laying off the lines, the thought that come w Lim was, “What a big church. Can we build so large a one?” Then came to him the thought of what had been done in the past. About eight years ago some of the ladies conceived the idea that a lot should be purchased and a rectory built. They decided to do 80. They had no money and little faith, but soon by earnestness and liberality the means were provided and the rectory paid for. Then $1,000 was raised for the purchase of this lot, on which the new church was to stand, and already the ladies have raised $1,000 for the new building. All that was needed was more faith, and an accompanying liberality. Tho suecees of the enterprise depended on each doing his or her share, as God had blessed them. “‘Praise (iod from whom all blessings flow,” was then sung while Mr. Bloomer took out the first shovelful of dirt, the ceremonies concluding with Rov. Mr. Mackay and others, each taking out a shovelful, even to the rector's little child- ren who ianocently grappled with what was then almost a grea tlift as it will be for the parish to raise the means for com- plenting the church in all its proposed beauty. Mr. S. E. Maxon has prepared the plans for the new church. It is to have a frontage of 60 feet and an extreme width of 75 feet, while the extreme depth will be 110 feet. The front is an ornamented one, and the exterior is to be finished in stone ashley work. The intention is to put in the stone founda- tion at a cost of $4,000 before November 1st, and then if means can be secured to go right ahead with the superstructure, which it is to be hoped will also be of stone, but may be of brick, some in the parish favoring brick. The contract for the stone work of the foundation has been let to Mr. Drexel, of Omaha; that for the brick work to George Fauble, and the wood work to Mr. Murphy. If the plans are followed out, the sup- erstructure put up of stonealso, St. Paul’s Episcopal church, of Council Bluffs, will be one of the most handsome churches in the west. — Dr. A.

The Causes of the Falling Off in Busi- ness—The Olerks Fearful that Resignations Will Soon be Welcome, Business at the freight transfer, of which Wm. H. Burns ie the agent for the tripartite roads, is decrcasing every week, and from rumors that are afloat it is very certain that the small amount of business now being transacted at this station will very shortly diminish considerable. Five gangs of men have been all that has been required to trausfer the freight from the cars of the eastern roads to those of the U, P, since the tripartite compact was put in operation, while it took eighteen or twenty gangs before this compact went into etfect. The principal cause of this is that the cars are now billed through, where before they were billed only to Council Bluffs, and therefore all freight destined for points west of here, if only to Omaha, it was necessary to rebill at Council Blufts, and also to transfer to U, P. cars, a8 in those days it was an unusual occur- rence for & car other than one belonging the Union Pacifle to cross the bridge. Oars of the eastern roadshaving their ter- minus here were occasionally ‘reloaded with Omaha freight and run over the river, especially when it would benefit the Union Pacific by so doing, but as above stated a very large portion and in fact it !Inny with safety be stated that 85 per cent of the cars that go through this sta- tion now are billed through to points west of the Missouri and consequently e ————————eeee fe———e— Varo not tre.naforrod here and need no re- OMAHA DAILY BEE «=THURSDAY, JUN 12, 1884, 1. billing hgre. 1f & through billed car is now forind to need ropairs, it is imme- diately overhauled by the car repairers and rent on its journey where before the Union Pacific wished no better reason for trrmaforring the same and charging itup to the railroad from which this car was re ceived. This style of business has be come necessary from the fact that the C B. & Q., road are taking & good share of the froight from the U. I’ and the U P, are rushing their freight through in all possible haste to compete with the Q The olerks in the office under Mr. Rurns entertain great fears of their being unusefal to that gentloeman after tho first of July, and expoect that a number of them will be required to look elsewhere to earn their living. This uneasiness on their part hasa very substantial foundation from the fact that the pool roads which, as is well known, includes the R. 1, Milwaukee, Wabash, Northwestern and U. I.; have concluded to reduce their exponses at the transfor. Tt is stated that the Wabash railway will transfer all westorn freight at their local depot after July lst, but whether this will be done or not remains to be seen, though this statement is denied by one of the officials of the road.

I told you how it would be,” retorted Mr. Jones. This was not the kind of sympathy Mra. Jones expected, and she became ominously silent. “‘What has she said about you now?” inquired Jones. 4¢Oh, its nothing about me,” said Mrs. Jones indifferently. “‘What is it about?” asked Jones with evident anxiety. ‘“It is about you,” resumed Mrs.J.*'She says you're no more fit to run_for office than a brindle cat, and that if Sawyer votes for you she'd never speak to him again; she says—" “‘Never mind,” said Jonesloftily. *I'm not the least interested in anything a feeble minded, gossipy woman says.’” But the flatiron had struck home, and Jones left the table with a look on his face that boded no good. It was baking day at Sawyers, If there was anything Mrs. Sawyer prided herself upon, it was the tender, flaky quality of her paste. Jones knew this. Mrs. Sawyer was just rolling that ten- der pie-paste into great sheots of trans- parent dough, when there came a knock at the door, Mrs, Sawyer answored it, rolling-pin in hand. It was Willie Jones who had knocked. “‘Please, Mrs. Sawyer,” said the in- nocent child, “‘pa would like a piece of your pie-crust.” “Certainly, Wi lie,” said Mrs. Sawyer, much flattered, *‘but it isn't baked yet.” ““He doesn’t want it baked.” “But he can't eat raw pie-crust,” “Ho isn't going to eat it.” ““Then what is he going to do with ity *‘He said he wanted to mend the har- ness and make hinges for the barn door with it, and—" The rolling-pin hung fire and the boy escaped, but the barrier between the houses of Jones and Sawyer can never be broken, It is tougher than the pie- crust, | The Laws of Humanity, Cleveland Plaindealer, Rev.
