Insufficient Police Protection in the City of Omaha—Local Notes Picked Up By Bee Reporters, The Eleventh Strecet Viaduct. No wonder people who cross the Eleventh street viaduct take the roadway in preference to the sidewalk. Anyone who will take the trouble to visit tnat causeway will understand that they have the best of reasons for doing so. While not exactly dangerous, the condition of the sidewalk is not only unsightly but such as to render it very inconvenient and annoying to pedestrians. The specifications provide that the walk shall be made of oak plank securely fastened to a layer of pine plank. Inthe first place the pine plank lack about a foot of extending to the inside hand-rail, as they should J‘o. and the oak wvlank which~ cover the space are from a half- neh to an inch and a half apart in man. places and there is no part of the wall where they are fitted together in the smooth and workmanli vided for by the contract with the But, perhaps the worst about the walk is that those oak plank are warped so that they stick up along the entire length of the viaduct, from a half inch to an inch and three-fourths. Small round nails were used to fasten these plank to the pine boards beneath the result has been that by the warping of the oak plank these nails bave been pulled out. A man witii but moderate exertion can pull the boards entirely loose. The pine planks beneath instead of being fastened to the girders with iron clamps are fas with very small round nails. driven through the boards and clamped over the angles of the sidewalk stringers. The boards huve since shrunk and the nails, in most instances, do not touch the stringe all, The inside hand rails have no braces of any kind to keep them steady and can be shaken back and forth for a” distance of tour or five inches on either side, without scarcely any exertion at all. The fastel ing of these inside railings to the batte lmsls is very clumsy and imperfect. n fact, about half of the plates by which these rails are intended to be fastened are not screwed up at all, The painting of the viaduct has been done in a most hasty and slovenly w: In many places, there are spots wher the iron has no more paint on it than when it came from the foundry where it was cast, The under parts of the big top chords of the middle span are not painted at a The lattice work makes the job of painting this part of this stru. ture somewhat tedious, and then the chords are so high up the painters prob: bly thought it would never be noti anyhow. But a BEe reporter who visited the bridge the other day not ouly found this to be the ex but on very super- ficial examination discovered the most shameful botch work throughout the en- tire structure. In most cases no attempt had been made these defects Where the stair- v originally drilled for the rivets were tound to be in the wrong place, and new rows were drilled near them, thus ma- terially weakening tho structure. The stairs have been so fastened as to cover up these defects, and they are oifly no- ticed when one's attention is called to them. "The painting of the viaduct is not only mcomplete, but shows evidence of haste and carelesspess throughout the entire structure. This is espccially true of those parts which world not ordinarily be noticed by people driving or walking across the viaduct. The angles of the portals which join the batter posts at a distance of from forty to fifty feet from the floor of the viaduct are filled with sand to the depth ot from an inch and a haif to two inches. Tuis has been painted over and no attempt made to clean it out, The ends of the knee braces mmnurlm'; these portals are in some instances hanging loose by the screws and not tightened up at all, The muin end posts of the hand rail- way are very insecurely fastened, the bolts used to fasten them being much smaller than the holes into which they should fit. The big gas lamp posts which are bolted to the loose boards are so insceure that any one can shake them hard enough to break eyery pane of glass in the lamps. The 1ron shoes on the abutments n which the sidewalk stringers work have not been fastened so us toallow the stringers suflicient play, As a result the Iateral motion given to the stringers by loads passing over the bridge and the expansion produced Y the Cheat have driven the stringers against the shoes with such force as to crack the joints in the stones of the north abutment, and where cast-iron shoes should have been used to fasten the longitudinal girders to the facing of the south abutment, picces of serap iron have been pressed into the service These are a few of the defects in the structure, Many more could be men- tioned, On the whole, if it were not for the newness of the most of the material used, the Eleventn streev viaduct would look more like a dilapidated relic of the middle ages than a structure which was begun only a year ago.

The trial of Peter Gross and his =on, James Gross, for subornation of perjury has been set for this morning at 10 o'clock, in this court. hennedy and Ritchie have been appointed to defend them.

Jack Kiley, who shot Billy Nugent on the morning of the 5th, and who was placed under bond in the sum of §150, is still in hock, as the friends of Nugent complained to Chief Seavey that the bonds were insuflicient considering the magnitude of the crime and the uncer- tain condition of the wounded man. A new complaint, that of shooting with intent to kill, was filed against Jack Kiley yesterday afternoon. THE COUNTY COURT. In Judge McCulloch’s court John and Mary Dolak began suit_against John Simanek and Albert Kuca for $300 claimed to be due on a contract for the sale of twenty acres of land in Butler county. ‘rancis ‘Tunica, the architeet, brought 8uit aguins! aha Fair and Exposi- tion association for §350 for furnishing o survey and map of the exposition ground: “Judge'’ Cooley was made defendant in a suit brought by G.

Mason against Charles 13, Schroth on & prowis- sory note for §108. Frederick W, ins brought suit against Edward Leeder and Morris Mor- rison on four promissory notes aggregat- ing £190 on which $30 had been paid. TOO LITTL The Councilmen PROTECTION. ilitating Against Welfare, The opposition of the council to Chief Seavey and the board of police commis- is militating greatly against the :sts of the city. The aldermen re- fuse to pay the police and fire depart- ments, and also refuse to increase the number of policemen. Not content with this they hamper the police chief as much as possible. Omaha has a population of at least 90,000 souls, with a territory six miles long by four square. To patrol this territory there are thirty-five po- licemen, including officers. The usual estimate in big cities is one policeman for every 800 or 1,000 population, This should give Omaha atleast ninety patrol- men. Instead of Lgiq number, Omaha had but twelve policemen on duty last night, For all the wast territory only a dozen oftic were detailed. One police- man, Oficer Blaom, had all the territory to covef ' between ‘Twelftn and Ninth streets on Farnam and Har- ney, and betwe: “arnam and Jones streets on Tenth, ‘Klis territory should take at least four volicemen, The terri- tory includes the most: important beats in the city, and if abix burglary or any other affair had happened in the section the ofticer could not have been blamed if he had heard nothing of 1t until nextd Busiuess men are beginning to fecl thi their interests are not sufliciently guarded, and are beginning to place the blame where it belongs—on the city council, Looks Like Spite Work., Charles Cuming was arrested yesterday ona complaint sworn out by a man named Lingiven on a charge of destroy- ing property. Cuming rented a house out near the stock yards from Lingiven and vacated it a week ago. A good-sized piece of the plastering is knocked off one of the ceilings and Lingiven accused Cuming ot maliciously doing the work. The police are of the opinion that the charge Is spite work. Cuming_says the plastering fell some time ago of its own accord. The Painters. There continues to be a large influx of men from Towa to take the vlace of the strikers and a considerable number of the latter are leaving town to scek work elsewhere. Most of these men are arti- zans of the better class whilst it is gener- ally conceded by the masters that the new comers are for the most part incom- petent. Good tradesmen, who can al- ways obtain work, are becoming tired of the prolonged dispute witk the masters, and hence the exodus. e A Cane For Bismarck. William Alstadt, better known as *'8is- marck,” who has been employed as one of the clerks in County Clerk Needham’s office for some time past, was made the subject of an agreeable surprise last mgi’lt.

For weeks T would Do totally disabiod, elther o one side of my body or the other. T Jarc e o moment: for cleven 3 ixs, wl attacked, to October 1, 1166, when I was cured.
