ELEVENTH STREET VIADUCT. Why the Roads Do Not Pay Their Bheare of Its Cost. THE COUNCIL BLUFFS BRIDGE. Three Women in an I Chest— Bohemian Oata Swindlers— Death of Mrs, Captain Ray —Other City News. The Roads Won't Pay. surprisc was experienced by when the Br published sement that the city had been sued by the Morse Bridge company for #10,607.52. It was thought that such an an- nouncement would not be very good reading abroad, especially as the work done by the company on the Eleventh street viaduct has for some time not only been completed, but also accepted by the city. A Ber reporter had short intfrviews with Chairman Bal- combe, Comptroller Goodrich, and several other gentlemen, all of whom have been in- terested in public improvements for some time past. 1t was ascertained that the Eleventh street viaduct had cost by contract §0,98.70. In addition to this a additional ex: pense of #,516.06 was incurred in the follow- ing items: lnside railing, to Ma Cooper & Co., 3,080 ne approaches, to Hugh Murphy, £1,661 rction of sume £12,00; inspection of during construction, 81,187.08: testing, to Pittsburg Laboratory, { L These items added to the contra price give a grand total of $7.502.85. Of this amount $80.250.27 has alr been paid, leaving the balance above referred to. Some citizens the annou The reason assigned for the suit by Mr. Balcombe and Mr. Goodrich is the fact that the Union Pacific and B. & M. roads have failed to the stru 1y their proportion of the cost of ture. HBetween them they were to bear th fifths of the burden, but up to the present time they have not paid a penny. 'he B. & M. was assessed one-fourth of three- fifths, and the Union Pacific three-fourths of three-fifths—making in all #8651.71. The companics assign no reason for their delay, except that the city has added to the contract price the cost of inspection and the other l(l-nm uhn\ ¢ mentions “This is nota v on,” said a certain ofticial § 'l he fact is, the companies do not w: pay the amount assessed against them only use the above as a pretext.

The chief of police informed a Bre re- porter yesterday that he was determined to break up the saloon *““wine room” traffic so extensively carricd on in Omaha just now, in direct violation of the law. He says these disreputable resorts furnish a rendezyous for women who avoid paying a license for the prosceution of their business, and he thinks if the common women of the town are com- pelled to pay a fine so ought the habitues of these places of vice und disorder. He is of the opinion, also, that all proprietors con- ducting “wine rooms.” of this kind, should be subjected to the sain nalty imposed upon Keepers of houses of assignation, and, so far as he is concerned, he is woing tosce that they are not hereafter exempted. W lay night after 12 0'¢ Captain G with a detail of men visited the saloon of* hue, corn hearing the vo xteenth and ¢ tol es of men and wo ien in the wine room, demanded admittance, which was emphatically refused him. He then stationed an ofticer at the door, who a few moment later saw I men and women cmergo from the place. Captain Green net visited the St. Cloud suloon and in the nine annexes of this establishment heard the voices of fo- males and males. He knocked at the door and demanded admittance, but was told he could go to the land where blizzards are un- known. This he refused to do, but instead took up his position at the door, with the in- formation that he would remain there until the door was opened. This had the desired effect and the poticemen walked into the room. Here they found three prominent business men. The captain_asked if there were any women present.
