It is not an casy matter to outline THE LOCATION of the shops. Suflice it to say that the grounds upon which they stand may be appronched from Ninth, Tenti, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth nd Fourteenth streets, while the strects trom the west which fun up to their outline, extend both north and south for about half a mile. Within this enclosure is a heterogene- ous collection of small and Iarge, young nd old, brick and frame_ struteures. They are seattered about in all dircetions assume varions shapes and subserve an unlimited variety of purposes. They are all red, or rather, had at one time, been of that lively hue. But antiquity, dust, dirt, smoke and elemental disturbance have, in many instances, tarnished their brilliant exteriors. The ground outlined above, is, in some sense. HISTORICAL. It witnessed, at one extremity, the inception, way back in G5, of the great rond which now extends from several different points,half way across the continent. It has watehed the grewth of the eity,and stood between it and the treacherous current of the Mis- < souri on many and many a threatening day. S Itimes hasit been overflowed, and several times have the fires gone out in the shops, while the meehantes have been also compelled to rvetire to their homes. ‘To-day, however, while it would not be able to resist, perhaps, any more successtully the rise of the river, from past expert HWl!\w']u'n‘n-ri\' it contains might more successfully be Lfrom danger, pairing of material roud isnot beeause he be avery say that here, in chants, THE GREAT FLOOD. One of the latest visitations from_the river was 1 1881, To look at the river now, and assume that it could vise and flood ~the territory mentioned would appear incredible. And - yet, year mentioned, as did also feve others preceding, witnessed such an event. It had been a long and cruclwinter. For nearly six months icc and snow lay upon the streets of Omaha, ahd 8o deep” and’ compact, that the largest water mains to-day doing duty under our streets, lay beneath the cerust by at least half a foot. A stranger would not have known that they had been laid along the gutters, The same quantity of snow and and ice, relatively speaking, covered the country north, “At length, the sun of spring began to melt the mountain streams and down the Missouri a Tiber looking flood, rushed madly in eddy and swirl bearing upon its surface countless thousands of cakes of ice, which scemed to enjoy the madness of their waltz advancement, Spectators lined the ban I'he shops had ceased work, and everybody watched to sec the water override the banks and tlow in upon the ground of the shops. The water rose and the shops were flooded It rose over the windowsills of the car ghops and lodged a number of inches deep upon the floor. A large number of the tools of the carpenters was destroyed, and damage of other kinds was also experienced. The company made a foreible resistance to the flood. A host of mon was engaged night and day bank- ing with stone, dirt, brush and other ma- terial the weaker points, The debris was hauled from all parts of the city and deposited in the yards as far as the teams could enter, It was then put on the rubber and rolled to the place where the was being done. So well was this work vied on that the stood fourteen inches above the track before it entered the vards. But it finally overeame both watehers and bank. At about 1 o'clock, one morning, while the men were at work with pitehtork and shovel, u float of ice washed in the fence of the smelting works with A GREAT CRASH The men with few exceptions fled pre- cipitately, feuring that death was coming with the tlood, In their absence, and the enewed impetus which had been gained by the flood, the water at length secured its domimon over the resisting territory. During that flood ONE OF THE LARGEST STEAMERS which plies on the Missouri steamed into the Union Pacitic yaras at the foot of Davenport street and conled-up at_the piie of the company, which had origin- ally been intended for the sapplying of muchines of locomotion on laud only. There are photographs oxtant wineh do pict this ncident. The steamer was not i a hurry to resume the channel of the river. Itdidsocventually, however, and steamed away and has since not been among us. The same year saw the water cover the space hetwean this city and the transfer and extend a rather uicomfort- able distunce into the eity of the Blufls, THLE SHOP OFFICES.

OTHER BUILDINGS. Immediately north is a frame building 150x40 feet, in which the framework for engines 1s made. To the west, ina brick building, arc stored the paints and oils nsed in the decoration of locomotives. Eustward from the engine frame shop are two long frame buildings, 250540 feet. The nearer is being decorated by a trio of dormer windows. In these are kept the general stores of the road, variety of materials and contriyances nume 1 1o Lill adictionary.

There also is the Westing- house brake pump, by means of which the brakes of the cars are tested before being sent out on the road. In the see- ond story are located the silver-platir works, the cabmet, the upholstering, the vaint and the pattern shops. North of these, in a brick building, are located the boilers, which generate the steam for the shops and supply heat in winter, Even the smallest of these is & hug jumbo-like creature, both in color and shape. On the east side of these shops extend two tracks, platformed for perhaps 700 feet. These are now strung with freight cars, to which air brakes are being attached.

A O'Bries - POINTS ABOUT BARKERS. that their Barkers are Orators who Stand in Front of Dime Museums and Lure the Public New York Sun: “It's a peeu! a barker,'' said o Bowery showm other day as he stood in front of his dime museum and listened to the sonorous tones of 1 gentleman near im who was setting forth the attractions of the enter tainment within, “that he ean never give up barking after he has once got thoroughly into the business. You know how fuscinating singing is to people who think they have voied Many an old man and faded woman go on singing through advaneed years quite conyinced that they are gving pleasure to their hearers, wiiereas they ave only distribut ing lurge blocks of pain around the neighborhood. Barkers are the same way. They get struck on their voices. Lhey love to hear themselves howl, just as the old-fashioned brass-lunged deseon liked to hear his voice m prayer so much that he'd pray for an hour in chureh, and get along with a two-minute thought when he prayed at home at night and was afraid of waking the children. Did you ever watch a barker's face? Look at this one.”’ ‘I'he showman direeted his gaze toward the man who was walking slowly up and down just within the wide doorway of the muscum and talking to the world at large while he slappea his right leg with a flexible rattan cane. Nothing could exceed the complaisance and affability of the barker's manner as he rolled ofi'the periods with infinite unction. A vowel sound was a choice bit not to be thought- lessly tossed off of the tongue, but to be turned and fondled and sent forth with due resonanee and deliberation. There was the musieal rhythm of blank verse in much that ne said. His eyes roamed over the various objeets around him with a careful serutiny, and it was evident on looking at him closcly that his thoughts were tar away from his words, “Barkets are proud,” continued the showman reflectively, “and usually very friendly with the freaks. 1 don’t” know what makes "em proud, unless it i< being 0 prominont in public life. There's no reason why a barker shouldn't help clean up in the morning, lend a hand with the brooms, sell tickets till it’s time for him to bark in front, and otherwise improve his time and add to s purse, but he won't. He feels that his public position couldn’t stand the strain. Another thing is the mability of the barker to bark un- Jess his conditions are just right. You put @ strange nat on him and his vorce'll talter and his eye shirnk.

A few years ago, the loeal branch of the W. €T "U. opened a vestaurant on Fifteenth street, near Capitol avenue, for the purpose of carn mg money enough to on associa tion work " in this city.

Finally ‘some of the ladies ab the ided asa means of furthering the ends of charity, left the parent institu- tion, and in various parts of the city opened up rival restaurants as a purely speculative venture. Al have suececded weil and are now making money. They are patronized by shop-girls, clerks, and even solid business men who cannot afford to go « long distanee home for dinner. The ladies who are at the head of these institutions pride themselves on being able to set before their patrons home cookery. And they certainly come very close to'that desivable standzrd. LUNCH COUNTERS, Cheap lunch counters are springing up all over the eitv. High s100ls are rang beside connt covered with white oil- cloth, on which the meals ave set forth.

The cookery, while not the most elegant conceivable, is nevertheless good, and many a man whose wealth is hmited by the standard of dinners or nickles, is able to stave off, for a time at least, the vangs of hunger by cating one of the cheap meals which he can find here Closely akin to the last mentioned class of restaurants are the lunch counters which are to be found in many of the saloons of the eity. In the bestof these one can find anything from a ham sand- wich to the most elaborate meal, costing seventy-five cents or a dollar. Many of these ‘places are making money, and making it rapidly, too. Some of the hotels, while strietly speaking, they cannot, be elassed as restau- cunts, yet. do sstaurant business and seeure quite a large slice of tr: Most of them sell tickets for #4 or &5, good for twenty-one meals, and limited to use within ten days And 1in, there are innume other places where meals arc i even cheaper than in ¢ places men- tioned above—us low as ten or fifteen cents, But in these places the readers of the Bee would searesly care to make a personal investigation of the quality of the edibles.
