Kansas City seems to have a touch of Counci) Bluffs luck, the fair at the place having been postponed on account of rain, J. B. Barrier and Bella Sergent of Neola, were yesterday morning united in wedlock by Justice of the Peace Schurz in his oflice. Chief Muller, with severai members of the police foree, kept a vigilant watch on the circus ground yesterday afternoon and evening. The police made a number of arrests yesterday, most of then being vagrants and suspicious characters that were hang- ing on about the show grounds. Nat Brigham and B, B. Young were in the city yesterday hunting a ball which to give one of the Brigham-Young song recitals in the near future. Cyrus Smith, of Omaha, and Charity York, of St. Joseph, Mo. coiored, were oined in marriage inthe office of Justice churz yesterday afternoon by that official. The clephant, which Wm. Lewis has been caring for so tenderly, since the de- parture of the Doris & Colvin show, was turned over to Forepaugh yesterday morning, to the infinite relief of his whilom keeper. The new double track on the Union Pa- cific bridge will be opened to-morrow. T s will be kept to the left instead of, a usual, to the right. On October 15 five additional ferry trains will be run through the day and the new wagon bridge will be thrown open for the gratuitous use thered? by tuose who wish to experiment. 'Squire Biggs in moving his justice of- fice to Main street has made a decided departure from the old customs. Fi years overy justice office has been on Broadway and closely huddled together. This is the first office of the kind with which Main strect has been favored. An- other departure is in the fact that the office is on the ground floor. Heretofore every office has been on the second floor. The move is therefore a decided innova- tion. As he is now located near to the new court house, and as the attorneys are beginning to move their headquar. ters in that direction, it seems that ere long the legal center of the city will have changed a great deal. o N.

Another Prize Fight Among the Sand Hills—A Marriage in the Sign Language—Fresh Sa- loon Unses. Brick Street Paving. There has been some talk of Iate 1n re- gard to vsing brick for paving purpoases, or at least making the experiment. There seews to be a variety of opinion, yet there is a unanimity in the wish that some method of paving could be secured by which the money for material us well as labor could be retained in this city. The following are some of the opinions expressed: Chris Straub-"I have enquired into the matter somewhat, and think brick pavement would wear as well as any we could get. 1 put down some at the institution for the deat and dumb for the carriaze drive-way. 1t was hard burned brick and it works lirst rate. As apavementlcan’tsee why it should not work well. We have the right kind of material here and plenty of it. It wonld have to be burned hard and the very best brick used for the top course, There should be from four to six inches of sand as a foundation, then a course of brick laid flat then two or three Inches of sand and the best burned brick then stood on end, It can be laid more evenly than granite and is nearly as smooth us wooden pavement. It 1s better than wooden blocks for the hillsides as it is not so slippery. It also wears more even than granite. I would advise a block of it be laid as an experiment, at once, Harry Birkinbine, of the water works company, who has given much study to such matters, and is one of the best engineers in this part of the world, said: “I'would think we had better get good sidewalk brick before we try to put them in for street paving. Our brickm vkers turn out as good work as it is possible from the clay obtainable here, but examine the brick side- walks of the city and see how many broken bricks you will find. Will bricks "that will not stand sidewalk wear do vou for streets? ‘Take the way our bricks are delivered, and contrast it ‘with the way they deliver tham in the east. Here a wagon is unloaded by hand, while in the east they dump the brick right out of a cart, upon a stone pave- ment, and then have fewer ‘bats’ than we do here. I predict that should a brick pave- ment be laid made of our clay it would be full of holes inside of a year. 5 enzineer- ing formula the present stone pavement would carry a load fully three times as great as one of brick. ~ As there are grave doubls as to even securing the least practical success out of brick for street pavements, and we do know that wood, stone, etc., make good and practical streets, why waste any money try- ing experiments. Will those who are favor- ing brick for rmlnz tell us why that in the principal cities where there is any great amount of travel, that the old brick side- walks are used nc more? [s it not because they do not stand the wear, and it is found to be cheaper to use sione?” “Do you think that it is possible to burn brick hard enough to answer the purpose *“Not with this clay. 1 don’t believe it can be done.”” “If they were to use brick what would you suggest in regard to a foundation?”’ “Lshould lay itona well rammed gravel bed, and lay the brick dry, and till the cracks with asphaltum,” ‘“‘How about the comparative expense?’ I haven’t fieured it, but my impression is that cedar block could be laid quite as cheaply. But what is the matter with the city utilizing the gravel beds they alrendy own—or at least they are a part of the park l:r perty—north of the city? " 1f they want to ceop the money for aterial right here they use that gravel on the side streets any- way, where there is mainly light travel. Abount eighteen inches on a street would make a tine road. It should be screened, the sourger being used for the bed, the liner on op. Mr. James Wickham—*I believe brick pav- ing is just the thing. It won’t rot out like the cedar blocks, that's certain. 1 know that selected bricks can be hada right here which will stand any amount of hard travel over them. When they get to paving Fourth street I am going to put In some brick paving there and try it. We've got 150 feet there and the council says we may pave with brick. If you want to see how brick will stand heavy travel just look atalittle spot on Broadway, be- tween the American express company and the First National bank. 1 did that wmyself when the street was paved. ‘The top of & cis- tern there is bricked ov 1t is right be- tweon the railway track, and there has been a good deal of travel over those bricks. Go and see how they have stood it. Yes, 1 be- lieve in brick paving, for then every dollar of the cost of such Improvement would be left right here at home, instead of being sent away. ‘The wooden paving will soon besin to rot out and be full of pitch holes, asin other cities. ‘The brick will stand if properly El\( down. ‘Two layers ought to do. The ottom one could be laid flat and the upper one on edee, With a good foundation the brick, if hard burned, would stand for many years. 1t might cost a li**le more than the wooden blocks, but would last enough longer besides leaving all the money right at home.” -~ Sewer Assessments, Yesterday was the last day for flling protests against the assessments as pub- lished for the construction of the Fifth avenue sewer. There were several filed, and it is probable that the city council will have no little discussion and difli- cnlty in settling upor some plan for an equitable distribution of the expense of the improvement. It appears that the sewerage system in the Fourth ward starts in the center of the city, where there is valuaple property, and increases in size as it extends towards the less valu- able portion, where there are less build- ing improvements and less need for sewer. By the present plan of as- sessing the cost to the ad- jacent property 1t comes to pass that a lot located near the sewer ditch has to pay three times as much for its sewer as a much more valuable lot in the very heart of the city. Of course it is necessury to increase the size of the sewer as 1t extends out, as it has more to carry. but those complaining assert that this extra size 1s for the benefit of others beside those in front of whose property it chances to be laid. Most of the council and some of the city officials admit that there is a seeming injustice in this mode of assessment, but whether the assess- ment can be made legally in any different way is a matter of doubt. The legal questions involved are bein looked up, and will be presented in fu at next Mondny's mecting of the city council, If it is possible to give any re- lief to those in front of whose property the large size sower is laid there seems a disposition to grant if e A Nine-Round Prize Fight. Atan early hour yesterday morning the police received a telephone message from Omaha notifying them to be on the lookout for a prize fight which was going to take place at daybreak on the Iowa side of the river, and the principals with the spectators were to cross the river from Omaha at early dawn. For some reason or other, hittle credence was given the matter and it was not uuntil about 9 o'clock when one of the principals, Thomas H. Brooks, was seen upon the streets with his knuckles and face spotted with court plaster, that the ‘“4ip” was thought to be correct on It was then learned that “Tom” Bro of Council Bluffs, and “Charlie” Laird, of Omaha, had a nine-round bare-nuckle fight shortly after day break at Judson's sand bank, just above the city himits, in the presence of some twenty-five persous for a purse of The men stripped weighing 135 pounds eash, and the first round Brooks was knocked off his pins three times by his opponent, but finali; in the ninth round got even and retaliate by giving Laird three falls caused by heavy blows. In the tenth round Laird failed to come to the front when time was called and Brooks was awarded the $60 stake money. For his trouble Brooks now wears a pateh of black court plaster an inch and a half square on his left cheek, a couple of pieces upon his forehead and all of the knuckles upon both his ‘‘dukes” are similarly decorated, but he FN $50 for it. Brooks has previously had the reputa- tion of being a fair boxer, but this is the ;irst ring contest he has received credit or. ——— Cupid Needs No Tongue. Lastevening there was a peculiarly in- teresting marringe cercmony and a most enjoyable social gathering at the resi- dence of Mr. D. J. Smith, on Madison street. The happy man was Prof. F. C. Holloway, of the institute for the deaf and dumb, aud the bride was Mr. Smith’s daughter, Miss Minnie B. Smith, Prof. Holloway is a mute, whose old home was in Centerville, Ia. He was graduated from the institution in which he now serves as teacher, and also from the Na- tional Deat Mute college at Washington, D. C. He is a thoroughly cultured gentle- man, a valuable member of the corps of instructors since 1879, and a young man who wins and holds friends. The worthy lady whom he has thus won is also a graduate of the institution here. Sheisa semi-mute, having lost her hearing when about ten years of age, and retaining her powers of speech. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. Crofts, pastor of the First Congregational church. Prof. Wyckoff interpreted it in the sign language. The ournmon,x was watched eagerly by the company of friends there gathered, and at its close there was an equally eager and honest proffering of woll wishes. Among those present were Superintendent Rothert and wife and others conn d with the institution. The other invitations were contined to the relatives and immediate friends. The young couple were also substantially remembered with numerous and elegant presents.

Several new saloon cases were started yesterday. One was a petition asking that Mr. Peter Bechtele, whose hotel is so well known, and who is himself one of the oldest citizens, be brought before the tar to answer to the charge of contempt in not having obayed the writ of injunc- tion issued some time ago, by which he was forbidden to longer have a bar 1n connection with his hotel. There were several petitions filed for writs of injunc- tion to be issued, Among them were F. McAdams, H. Wegener, George Hansen and Gus Grote. The new petitions show Stone & Sims as attorneys for A. Over- ton, who 18 the relator in these petitions, as the representative of the prohibition prosecution. Heretofore Mr. Sims has been alone in these cases, but now his partner 18 to take hold also, and thus add sirength to the prosecution, if strength was needed, which those who have watched Mr. Sims’ vigorous prosecution will hardly admit. = Cooper & Judson, SPECIAL NOTICES.
