*BENEATH THE BIC NUDDY. Binking the Firet Calseon of the New Bridge. HOW THE WORK IS CONDUCTED. A “Bee" Reporter Takes a Trip Down Below the Surface and Tells His Ezperience — Strange Sensation, Down in the Caisson. “We have a 400,000 pound lifting power on and she's daneing on the bottom -now. You didn’t know what danger you were in," said Codtractor Scully to a BEe reporter, who sat rubbing his ears in the little flat boat that @oes duty as an oflice for the bridge building firm of Hopkins & Scully. “We put on an extra pressure of ten pounds this morning," he added. “What did you do that for?" asked the re- porter, who thought for a moment that there might have been some personal rea- #ons. ‘Oh, Just to force out the ice upon which,| the caisson is resting, and then I didn’t know you were down there when I gave the order,” ‘was the answer, and the reporter accepted the apology. Citizens of Omaha who nightly sit cosily in their warm apartments, may not have known that while they are enjoying the comforts of life, thero are -others, fathoms below the waters of the Missouri, who hourly risk thoir lives in the endeavor to earn _ but average wages. All hrough the wintry blizzards as well as the iider weather of the past winter, working- men have been busy arranging the sections of the bridge that in future will form an. other connecting link between Council Bluffs and Omaha. One hundred and forty- seven of them are now on the pay roll, and upwards of $00,000 has been e‘x‘,mmlcd by the contractors up to date. On Wednesday the first caission was completed and allowed to sink to the bottom of the river on the Ne- ‘braska side, the ice upon which it stood first ‘being cut away, and forty-eight mon being put to man the screws that aided in its de- scent. Thursday the air was turned on to the air chamber, and yesterday the first gang of men went to the bottom, where they will gnrk in twelve-hour shifts at ‘&%lxcr da; he day shift was composed of P. M. Petor- n, foreman, and John Hanley, Gus Berger, harles Camnbell, Doc Dougherty an: harlie Steward. The seventh man wns the ER reporter, fortified himself. way over the the point where the that the men were at work. Mounting an {ce-covered er, he made his way to a point where an iron tubing rose from the ‘water and was guarded by a man in an oil- skin. The tubing looked like an ordinary smoke-stack, and was closed by a héavy iron gloor which the guardian was held in lace by thé compressed air beneath it. ‘Some one will want to come out in a minute sr twg," he said, ‘‘and then you can go lown. to treacherous seafl indicated Some,one did want to come out, and they id come, but the reporter didn’t want to go lown. The whistling of the condensed air Bs it tushed out, and the volumes of apparent steam that followed the opening of the door, didu't exactly soare him, but they unsettied his'nerves and ho gat on the oy stringer and thought. thought it was time to Ih & moment he found himself narrow funnel, in olinging to an ic) dder, with the faint light of a candle beneat| im, a fast_closing door above him,and a horrible rufhing sound filling his ears as the mpresscd air rushed into the chamber. fi’e ‘was in the first air lock, and as he stood clinging to the ladder, he imagined he heard g;u ce from below telling him to come on down, -f.'! ‘when the next man came out 'E slipped in. own and he went. When the bottom of the ler was reached, there was a gns of veral feet, and this he covered by a drop, ‘when once moro the iron door closed in an he was in the ‘‘air chamber’ of the caisson. ‘The walls were of heavy boiler iron, braced wigh heavy wooden beams, and all were overed with an icy coating that glistened Erlxhtly in the light of the candles. Half a ‘lmn men were.at work up’ to their walsts ‘in water, but the reporter could hear nothing. Not even the henvy strokes of a sledge ham- Jner that was weilded by one of them, could ake thomselves b through the com- E\;ieued gir that filled his ears. His own co ‘sounded like a far-away whisper when he endeav, B explain is mission, and could only judge of the reply bx' wawh'mF the lips of the men that 8poke. Finally one of them caught mm:fl the nose and motioned him to blow 1t, which he did to the best of'his ability, and sfter a second trial something seemed to burst and he could hear with one ear. A few minutes later and the other cleared itsetf and then he drew & long breath and felt at home. man Peterson then informed him that oy Were about twenty feet below the sur- ace of the river and that the caisson was ting on some twenty-seven inches of ice. e air chamber in which the men were working was about thirty-eight feet long, eighteon in width and eight in hoight, and that dynamite was being used to shatter the fce, B0 that the structure would rest on tho and. Once vhere the blow pipe would clear \way the thirty feet of sand that stood be- fween them and bedrock, aftor which the caisson would be filled with concrete mnd work commenced on another. The wmir pressure would be incre: about one-half pound to the square inch 'for every foot they went down, but it would not injure nl}y one_physicially able to stand it. Those suffering from heart or lung discases Were not wanted, as ft only meant sudden 1o t . The reporter here felt for and t was still moving and ‘Waited long enough to ask i the foreman had ever.been In a worse place. “I've been in the business fiftcen ycars, and have been subjected to a forty-four- rund pressure, but it never has hurt me so far. And when you heal 0 telliug you of all the men this business kills, don’t 'be- Jieve them; they're only wlhng ghost stories,” ‘‘Come down again when we reach the ind, ': he added. “It willbe nice and dry gut 8 tho reporter felt nico and dry as it , he bade bye sud for the anhole. ~ Once more he struggled gain a foothold on the ladder; once more the dron door was closed behind him; once {:.”' he was alone in the darkness, whilo the sh of the compressed air filled his ecars in the air lock, and once more he was in the froe fresh air, but on top of the same old icy scaffolding.

LiNpsaY, Pres't, The Only Line That Gets There. It has been well said by a distin- &iuhed writer that ‘‘the Michigan mtral is the only ‘Niagara Falls Route’ in the country.” It is theonly railroad that runs direct- ly by the falls and stops its trains at a point from which all parts of the falls and the rapids are in full view. From this point, called Falls View, the scene from the Michigan Central train, whether in its summer setting of emer- ald or its winter setting of crystal, is one of unexl.m'plod grandeur and sub- limity. Asit is on the direct route to New York, Boston, and New Eng- land, no east-bound traveler should fail ‘to take advantage of it. a1 ne W The Wassermans' Two Suits. A Ber reporter was told yesterday that the Wasserman family, while pensioners | upon the county, made a pitiablo appearance when seeking alms more for effect than be- cause of their alleged extremo destitution. They live near Howell's lumber yard. The father, as is known, was recently convicted of perjury in the United States court. There now remain in the family the mother, o daughter ana a _ son, There is another son who is married, and ' drives a team for a brick manufacturer in the nu({;hbfirhbfid» He has built him a shanty on the latter's property. A short time since, the mother and daughter was scen entering the brother's house, dressed in decent clothes, and vtv:miy ulx:{hfism;god them{:.om were comparatively c! in rags. 0 left for 3wn with mr of baskets, whic| were loaded with goods when they returned. They stopped at the brother’s house on their return, and rehabilitated themselves in their home clothes. Tt is claimed that the girl is able to work, and 80 is the son. et Leland hotel, Chicago. e The Bricklayers. The bricklayers met last evenimg at Horn- berger'sball by a special call, and hada splendid turnout and a very pleasant meet- ing.

HAS HE T;E POWER? Somo Excitement Over an Act of County Clerk Roche. Legal and real estate circles ars somewhat worked up over an actlon of County Clerk Roche In recelving and recording a lease on & piece of real estate, and the question arises in what position the lessee would find himself if the lessor should be inclined to engage ina double deal. It is maintained that Mr. Rochie exceeded his authority in sccepting the lease, as it should have gone to the ofice of the register of deeds, where one would naturaily 0ok for it if it to pe examined. Lawyers assert that Mr. Roche has no legal power to file matters concorning realty, his authority not extending beyond the register- ing of meschandise.
