AE LABORERS STILL IDLE, Wo Work Done on the Lincoln Sewers Be- causo of the Btrike, PVHAT THE CONTRACTOR WILL DO Whe State Equalization Board Assess. ing tho Railroads—New Inmates For the Pen—lnsane Asylum Statisticse—Lincoln Newa. IPROM THE BEF’S LISCOLN BUREAU.| ‘The strike in the ranks of the sewer Lnlmrers, who suspended work Monday, ontinued yesterday, and through the day groups of idle men could be seen around the half finished trenches waiting to see Bhe result of the strike and enforcing as gmuch as possivle their plan of allowing ;onn others to work. Of the total num- er--between 300 and 400—employed 1n Bhis work, only about seventy-five at- mpted to do anything yesterday, and ittle more than talk was heard on any hand, although rome of the thoughtless wvorkmen were foolish enough to make hreats of stoning any who persisted in ignoring the strike. The contractor for work was seen by the BEE ropresenta- ive at his office in the Billingsly block, pnd he seemed to view the trouble with ho apprehension of real danger and Bhought that a day's time would settle all matters and see work resumed. The con- metor ascribed the cause of the strike to e from a disturbing element numbering ome twenty or thirty who had been on he work only a very short time and who ad worked up the resentment against resent prices. Last night the contractor roposed to pay off all hands employed nd in the morning resume work with Il who wished to work, having olice stationed to prevent inter- erence if any is made. It was tmlurslond that a quiet meeting as held yesterday afternoon at the office pf the mayor to arrange for adequate pro- Yection, if it were found protection was peeded. The contractor does not appear to wiew the present condition of affairs with mnv fears of trouble and is satistied that in a very few days he can have a force of en equal to the present on the work, be- ieving that most of the present strikers 11l be willing to work if away from the nfluence of the leaders. All the assis- ance he has thus far asked 18 that the It{ guarantee safety to men who are illing to work, and who have been Stopped by threats. ASSESSING THE RATLROADS, Yesterday was the day for the meeting f the state board of equalization for the ssossments of railroad lines in Nebraska, 'he meeting was called to meet at the uditor’s office at 8 p. m., and Governor [hayer was expected home from Omaha take part in the proceedings asa mem- or of the board. 8. L. Highleyman, tax ommissioner for the Missouri Paaific, rom St. Louis, and Frank P. Crandon, ax commissioner for the Chicago & Northwestern, with headquarters at Chi- ago, are in the city to attend this meet- ng of the assessment board. PRISONERS FOR THE PEN. Yesterday and the day before a num- Yer of new inmates were received at the lmu penitentiary. James Conolly, of “herry county, brought George Conrad and Daniel Cashium. the two colored poldivrs whu wern sontoncod to twenty zaurs each for rape. Sheriff Conolly also rought Robert Simpson to serve an pighteen mwonths’ sentence for horse ptealing, and James Bohannon to serve pn eight years' sentence for a like of- fense. J. 8. Pedler, sherift of Sherman ounty, brought to the penitentiary Ed. i(. Hill, who has just been convicted in hat county and sentenced to four years fn the pen for rape. >4 ATHS AT THE ASYLUM. ‘The fol owing are extracts from the histories of deaths among patients occu ying at the Nebraska hospital for the in- pane during the months of March and April, The records are filed momh}iy with the board of public lands and build- l:nzu in addition to their regular entry pon the records of the mstitution: W. H. Wilbert died March 18; admitted to the asylum in 1882; a farmer, thirty ears of age, married, and a native of 'ennsylvania. His place of residence revious to entering the asylum was in olt county; the cause of "his insamty, epilepsy, and he died in an epileptic fi and was buried 1n_the hospital cemetery. Emil Peterson died at the asylum April 6, having been an inmate of (he imstitu- tion only from the 15th of March. Peter- Bon was twenty-one years of , & native of Sweden, single, and camo from Web- ster county. The cause of his insanity ‘was ascribed to be religious excltement, and the immediate cause of his death was from the effects. His remains were sent to his fanuly at Red Cloud. 2 Annie E. Fuller died March 21; was ad- mitted to the institution in February of the present year. This patient came from Clay county, was sixty years of age, single, ahousemald, and from New York her place of nativity, The immediate cause of death was ascribed to heart dis- easo. Celia M. Johnson died at the institution on the 21st of March, She was admitted to the asylum in 1879, coming from Dodge county; age, twenty-tive years; married, and a'native of thekingdom of Denmark. ‘The cause of her insanity was hereditary and the immediate cause of death pul- monary phthisis, Olive M. Selby died in April, fifty- two years of age, 8 i Connecticut, coming to the asylum from Antelope county. The cause of her in- sanily was epilepsy and the immediate cause of death pulmonary phthisis. Patrick Cahill died at the asylui the 18th of April. Barpy county in 1876, was forty-sevi years of age, » laborer, and his nati Yreland. The cause of his malady was ungnown and his death came from pulmonary phthisis, David Mummu died in March, sixty 3 rs of age. He was a native of Pennsylvania, a farmer, and came froin Adams county, had been insane fora year past, ing from senile decay, the remains being sent to relationsat Ayr., RECOVERED PATIENTS, Yesterday the stewart of the insane hospital filed reports of three patients from the asylum who had been under treatment there and who were sent home s cured. These patients were: Milroy ‘osbery, of Ong, killmore county; Lee Ulark, trom Trentoun, Hitchoock county, and James Burton, from Orleans, Har- LG county. The lust of the three bad en at the asylum only about two months. Four patents from different roinu in the state have been received or care during the past threo days and he number at. the asylum is gradually ncreasing. B A POLICE EPISODE. One of the episodes of the present ridic- ulous police force that has very naturally escaped notice in the loeal papers oc- carred Monday morning. ‘That morning n resideut of this city of seven years’ ac- uaintance, desired to visit Bennett on ihe early morning train that leaves the vityat8a. m. He started from home riding a mule, so that footpads would not waylay him on the way to the devot, and down in the business part of the city rlmn of the uniformed police halted him. @ the t the footpads had him sure snd he fled to Ensign's barn, pursued with revolver shots. At that place the 20lice overhauled him, took him to the ail despite his protestatious, aud, divest- native of ing him of luables, held him & pris- ouer, Groat polioa force that, NEEDED, AN ALARM SYSTEM. The recent incendiary fires have illus- trated more than ever the absoiute neces- sity for an eleotric fire alarm system in the city, and the opinion 18 practically unanimous that something ought to be done by the city in this linc without fur. ther de lf’. At the last of these incendi- ary fires it was impossibie to reach the engine house direct by telephone and great delay was the result. Investiga- tion showed that the wires had been cut, presumably purposely, so that a long delay would result to the department. Property owners who know the efficiency of the department in service would like to see the alarm system at once. A NEW STREET RAILWAY., Ex-Governor Dawes, Senator S. W. Burnham, J. M. Hoffman, John H. Mec- Clay snd J. E. Baum are the projectors of a new street railway line that they propose building in the southern part of the city to reach the asylum and peniten- tiary, and to furnish rapid connec- tion with nnmerous additions that they own in that suburban district. With an electric motor line, a cable street rail- way, a belt line encircling the city, and & present streot railway line of some eight miles in operation, it lgoks as though the city was not going toRack for passage transportation facilities for years to come, MINOR MENTION, It is stated that trouble is arising on the question of making brick on the leased lands from the state near West Lincoln, and in case that certain pressure 18 brought to close up one of the places that the parties closed out propose to at once y the question of the violation of the lease before the bourd of public lands and buildings, and ask that it be looked into whether or no the lesees are living up to their part of the contract. ‘The board of public lands and build- ings, al its regular monthly meecting, has * instructed the superintend- ent and steward at the Nor- folk asylum to proceed at once in the advertising for and the purchase of necessary supplies to furnish the institn- tion ready for occupancy. State Superintendent Lane is at Nor- folk and Neligh this week meeting with county superintendents in that section of the state and holding conferences con- corning institute work. Dr. Armstrong, superintendent of the feeble-minded Institute at Beatrice, was in Lincoln yesterday. 'The doctor states that the building will be ready forin- mates in three months. A number of the city council and Lin- coln citizens will attend the Plattsmouth water works celebration on Thursday. Major John C. Watson, of Nebraska ‘(i)ity, was at Lincoln on business yester- ay. e e Cure of Pneumonia. Hess Roav, Niagara Co., N. Y.. March 24, 1886.—About a year ago I was taken with a severe pain ‘i both lungs. I was first attacked with a violent chill, then a dreadful pain and then a cough accom- panied by considerable fever. It looked very much like a bad attack of pneu- monia. A friend of mine procured five ALLCOCK'S PLASTERS. One he put under each arm. One under each shoulder blade, and one on my chest close around my throat. In a few hours the cough ceased, the pain gradually abated and I broke out in a profuse perspiration. I fell into & profound sleep, and the next day was almost well. I wore the Plas- ters eight days aftorwards, and have never had any trouble since. WILLIAM A. SAWYER. o —— ELECTRICAL TYPEWRITER. An Invention Ly a Philadelphian Which Will Revolutionize Tele- graphy. James F. McLaughlin, a young elec- trician of Philadelphia, claims that he has succeeded. in perfecting an electrical typewriter which will be the most form- 1dable rival thathas as yet arisen against the Bell 'lelephone company, as well as aguinst the entire system of modern tele- graphy, The machine, as it stands now, is not unlike the ordinary typewriter, e cept the roller on which the paper 18 car- ried. This moves automatically, and when the end of a line is reached 1t flics back and turns a notch, ready to begin anew. The keyboard differs slightly from that “of the mechanical typewriter. The alphabet, nstead of being in banks, is in two rows and on ivory squares instead of glass disks. Each key 18 worked from an independent armature, so that whether the operator strike the keyboard with great force, or touch it ever so lightly, the impression on the paper is precisely similar in each case. An ordinary battery such as used on a Morse wire “supplies the electrical energy. The utility of young McLaugh- Iin’s inyention and the claim that it will seriously affect the business of the tele- phone on short circuits, and ruin it al- together in long ones, lie in the fact that each message sent is duplicated in the office of the sender; that the same mes- sage can be sent to a dozen or a score of places at the same time: that absolute secrecy is secured, and that when not in use electrically the wire can be discon- nected and the machine used mechanic- ally as long as desired. s a rival of the Morse telegraph the inventor claims that it has numerous ad- vantages. A skilled operator is nut re- required. Any person of ordinary intelli- gence and a_pair of hands can send a message. The depression of each key causes an electric impulse to travel the wire from sender to receiver. Only one impulse is required for -each character instead of several impulses required to produce the dots, dashes, ahd spaces in the Morse system. Herein lies the impossi- bility of “‘tapping’® a wire because even if the wire were cut between two points nothing would be received but a single unmeaning click for each time the key- board was depressed, whereas in the Morse system each chick would represent part of a character, The synchronism is perfect. By no possibility can there be an error in transmussion. On the score of rapidity it beats the ordinary telegraphic message out of sight. An ordinary rapid operator in a tele- graph office can ‘‘reccive’ on an average at the rate of thirty words & minute. An ordinarily rapid girl accustomed to a type-writing machine ean write on an average sixty to sixty-five words a min- ute, and if she makes un error of sub- stance, or of construction, or in spelling, it is recorded. It is not even necessary that the person for whom the message is intended should be present whiie it is coming over the wire, as the machine used asa receiver works autimatically, and when the paper runs out notifies the sender by ringing a bell to cease opera- tions. R e A Pitiful Sight. What sadder sight can be imagined than that of a noble man, whom the word can 1ll-afford to spare, sicken down in the primeof a useful life by con- sumption, Thousands are {unrl_v filling consumptives' graves who might be saved bf the timely use of Dr. Pierce’s *‘Golden Medical Discovery,” which is a positive cure for consumption 1 its early stages.
