PARTICULARS OF THE PROJECT News and Notes About the Raiiroads ~The Ext nsive Washouts on the Union Pacific—Police Points <nd General Local. The Cable Railway, For some time there has beena scheme afoot to builda cable railway in Omaha. The charter was obtained two or three years ago, and gradually the pians of the prfl]:ctunh|\|>|nw||1|u|<vl\ worked up, until they h resulted in something definite and tangible. The cablo railway d8 soon to be a reality. A very quiet meeting nr those inter- ested in the project, w; held at the Paxton hotel, to discuss the plans for the road, which have been drawn up by Mr. Bell, foreman of the Paxton & Vierly Iron works. There we lwo )m\r‘n("\l engineers from Chieago, + A Klin nd C. Barker, who mny pu-«nhlv be secured to assist in the construction of the road. The were thoroughly discussed and adopted. 1t was r¢ work on the construc about the first of April, or at un 800n as the frost is out of the ground. WHAT £ PLANS ARE. The plans adopted contemplal magnilicent cable railway system, gre er, so far as extent of territc to be is concerned than the one in y. Inthat city there are not more than two miles of double t while in Omaha the road will commence operations with four miles of double track. Che course of the line will be as follow: Commencing at Tenth and Dodge it will run up that thoroughfare to Thirty-fifth, south on Thirty-fifth to Harney and east again on Harney to Tentb, and north on Tenth to Dodge, the starting point. There is some talk of running tie track west on Douglas to Thirty-fifth instead of on Dodge, but it is probable that the latter thoroughfare, for sevs reasons, will be chosen. From the track on Tenth sfrect a short branch line will be run down to the depot. Other lines will be run out in a northerly dircetion within a year or two, but the company intend to complete first the four mileson the streets named. The road will be in running o der by November 1, 1886, at the latest. Bixteen cars of the ordinary eapacity will ( on the track to start with,with a ty of an increase inthe number if siness warrants. The round trip will be made in about thirty minutes or less time. So that a man can start fr Tenth and Dodge streets, say, and arr at his home on Twenty-fifth and Dodg streets in about five minutes. The location for the main round housp and operating house, has not beed determined ations are in progross for ble sites. On lot beyond the upper Farnam s school house, on Thirty-second sf Another scheme is to locate the buiidings on lower Leavenworth sti As already intimated the gineering work has been placed entirely in charge of Mr. Harry Bell, of the Omaha Iron foundry, a gentleman of long years of experience, and ably fitted to look after every detail of the impor- tant work with which he has been en- trusted. He has drawn up plans for the road, which have been aporoved by sev- al ominent engineers who have looked em over. In one particular, these plans differ from those of any road in operation in this country. The principle of the cable and the grip is of course to be used in the operation of the road, but with this im- portant feature. Instead of being run through a tunnel, nmhvm-(l partly of wood and iron, tl iron tubing with a slot on tup which al- lows the grip to connect with the ecable. braced can es be depot, the slot through which the g closed. This imperfection e: wood and iron tunnel heretofore used in eable railway construction, which often under the intluence of heat, cold, or undue pres- ure, would bo contracted so as to provent the free passage of the grip: By this new scheme Mr. Bell is confident the danger of accidents will be greatly lessened. Arms, firmly braced, will be run out from the tubing, and will fur- nish support for the rails on either side The work of ¢ ng the tubing will be dono under the immediate supervision of My, Bell himsolf. 3 COST. The cost of the cable yery much less than of the sas City or Chic It will not exceed- according to p nt caleulations, more than $32,000 per mile, double track. In Chicago the cost was §160,000; in Kansas Istimat- ing the cost of the Hln Aha Toad at $00,000, which the projectors of the scheme name a8 an outside figure, the total cost of four miles of nluul:lv track would not be over $250,000, and the cost of the entire ten milos plant would not exceed §600,000. The cost of railway stock, ete., 18 in- eluded in these figures.

The washouts along the line of the Union Pacific are seviously impaiving the train service, Telegrams received yoster day at headquarters tell of extensive wash- outs at Villey, Mercer and Columbus. At the two former places the Platte is still and has already carried away large soctions of track. At Valley the Jine is washed away in at least twenty different places, each in extent from 200 to 1,000 feet. At Mercer, the track is also ged in ten or fifteen diff At Columbus _ thetrackis oned in the special disputehes y y. AllUnion ® Pacific trains are running ou the B, & M tracks as west as Kearney.

You stated in last evening's issue that a peti- tion had been placed before the council requesting a certain brick yard on west Burt street to be declared a nuisance on account of it being an_injury to the good health of the people and damage to the aurrounding pronerty. The signors wora informed that they wore a lot of cranks, and the petition was laid on the table, there to rest forever in peace. It might seem strango that the petition should Te- ceive no better treatment, but the matter is casily explained when it is known that wher of the brick yard is a relative of amember of the council, Now, Mr. Editor, 5 1 fair that wo shouid bo unable accommodations and yet ive out on the open’ | from Omaha and we would have a3 benefits. ¥ would like to know why we pay (-iw( 1xe8.

Sometimes caused from one thing, some times fromanother; but it is invariably the case when he puts on his clothing, and finds after he has exerted himself and paid an exorbitant price in order to not feel embarassed when he puts them on, is one thing thatwill cause man to forget where he lives, for the benefit of such gentlemen who have so often been disappointed in hav- ing their full gratification.
