Among the bridges thus built was the one across Indian creck, at Seventh street 1n this city, and another across the creck on Broadway. The county claimed that these bridges were being so bunglingly built as to warrant the county in can- celling the contract and reawarding it to Raymond & Campbell. Then the Oska- loosa company began suits. A change ‘was taken to Cass county, Judge Conner made a rulln% on a demurrer, which knocked the bottom out of the case, and Wwas favorable to this county. The Oska- loosa company appeuled, and the su- me court has overruled Judge Jonner, and the case comes back to be tried on its merits. —_—— Order your bathing suits at Harkness Brothers. e When you are_in the city stop at the ific house.

K 4 Trial of Croes, The trial of Dr. Cross at Red Oak is well under way. Thus far there is little new evidence brought out, it being a re- bash of what was produced on the pre- vious trial. Itis claimed that there will ‘be new evidence produced of rather a startling nature, before the trial is con- cluded, bnt what this will be is not made known. The supposition is that the new evidence will tend to show that Dr, Cross was attacked first. On the other hand, it 18 expectod that the prosecution will have & witness who will knock this feature of the defense right out of court. There is mnot so much interest taken here in the ©ase as on the tirst trial, s the evidence n produced and now being reproduced a8 been discussed in detail until those intorested in the case are pretty conver- sant with it, and have long since made up their minds as to the guilt or inno- cence of the defendant. ‘The chief interest with such is whether the jury will decide aecordance with their individual opin- of the matter, and whether any im- mfll, new testimony will be brought B t the Pacific house you will save from ‘lo $i per day. fl’u it and be ocn- ;AR THE RAILWAY * COMMISSION, They Visit Manawa, Enjoy Its Beauties, Talk Together and Adjsurn, TO-DAY'S CHURCH SERVICES, Puzzled Over the Side Bracket of the Union Pacific=The Coming Fourth—-Another Factory Se- cured-Lawing Oyer Bridges, The Union Pacific Puzzle, There are many conjectures as to what facilities will be offered by the new Union Pacific bridge for the passage of teams and other vehicles. The railway part of the bridge is well settled as to its being a double track, with ample facilities for handling a great many tramsdaily. The side-brackets, which lay claim to being a wagon attachment is what has been puz- zling the public, and it seems to have been puzzling the Union Pacitic folks as well. It is predicted by some that these sideways will be used simply for foot passengers and for cable cars, Others are confident that some horses can be safely driven across the bridge. The company is not fully decided as to how the bridge shall be managed in this respect, 5o as to make it answer the purposes designed, and meet the de- mand for some easy, suafe, speedy mode of transit for teams, street cars, ete. The difliculty is that there is no close partition between the wagon ways and railway part of the bridge. Itis claimed that with the strong winds which sweep down the river it would not do to put in close partitions, for the wind coming squarely against this would be too great a pressure, or might be, for the strength of the structure. The company has several plans under consideration.” One 18 to have gates, and shut off wagon travel while trains are on the bridge. The advocates of this plan claim that with a double track the rail- way business can be easily cared for and still leave plenty of time for teams. Another an, and one which seems to meet with more favor, is to put up par- titions of wide slats, set edgewi; 0 thut the winds blowing directly against the bridge would be able to pass through be- tween these slats. At the same time the slats would shut off from the wagon way all chance to see the traing. It is urged that there is noth- ing to be feared from winds coming uuarloring against the bridge, and the irect-pressure winds would not be re- sisted by these open slats, but could pass through all right. This slat system has been adopted in some places, and is said to work well. 'The objection raised against this plan is that the partition does not shut out the noise of passing trains, and that nervous horses might be thus trightened. ~ The Union Pacilic is chiefly concerned in getting the railway part of the bridge in satisfactory shape, to handle the immense busi- ness in that line. The side bracket vart is an after consideration. As soon as the railway part is in working order, then the questions as to the other will be decided upon. In the meantime, the approaches are being made for the wagon part. An embankment 18 bein mido, leading by an anglo to tha foot of Ninth avenue, along which avenue it is expected to run the street cars. There is considerable work being done on this side, but the force does not seem large in proportion to the amount of work to be done. It 18 undestood that there will be little done with the Tenth avenue enterprise, or with the other im- Erovements on this side, until after the ridge is completed. —_— Ways of Worship.

The Iowa railroad commssioners ar- rived in this city yesterday morrung for the purpose of deciding the questions in- volvedin' the Manawa miotor raillway crossing the different railroad tracks. The commissioners, Peter A. Dey, chairman; L. 8. Coffin and Spencer Smith, were met at the depot by Mr. Lamphere and escorted to the Pacific house where they were met by J. K. Graves, the builder of the motor line, Immediately after registering at the hotel they proceeded to the crossings looking the ground over, after whicl they were escorted to lake Manawa, They took the steamer Manawa and went to Manhattan Beach. On their return a sail was given them around the lske —and "a chance to inspect Hotel Manawa. They then returned to the city and dined with Commissioner Smith at his residence on Washington avenue. 1n the afternoon a consultation was had atthe law oflice of George F. Wright, who is attorney for several railways. Thomas Wright, of Des Moines, was the only other railway attorney _present. It scems that by some oversight in the ar- rangements the railway officials were not informed of the commissioner’s coming here, There was therefore no arrange- ments for a full showing of their side of of the controversy. The afternoon hours were spent in an informal discussion of the matters involved. No action was taken, and no formal presentation of the cause made. Adjournment was taken until next Thursda; s~ E—— He Invites You to Come, J. G.

Among the many schemes in London for finding occupation for educated women who have no aptitude for teach- ing, but who are necessitated to earn their own living, the Society of Lady Dressmakers is prominent. The object of the society is to find suitable employ- ment for educated gentlewomen of small means, whose tastes are not in the direc- tion of literary pursuits. To this end a dressmaking business is to be started in London on strictly commercial lines, to do a class of work for which at present thereisa great demand—that is, good trustworthy work at moderate prlcus for cash pay- ments. To ensure good work, two ladies are being trained—one in Boston and one in London—to superintend the work- rooms. A home will be provided for the workers. This will be under the guid- ance of a principal, who wukhave charge of the social Life of the employees. Its first centre will be 1n London, but efforts will be made to start branch establish- ments in other towns as soon as possible. From this school ladies trained in all branches of the business will be sent out as required, either to teach 1n private houses or to take classes. SPECIAL NOTICES. WOTICHE.
