He will' do a general engi- neering business and continue the work with which he is so familiar, viz., running grades and furnishing grading estimates, as well as drafting. On account of the season being so early Mr. H, Friedman has decided not to give a formal spring opening, but has arranged for an elegant dis) of fine French pattern ies, far superior to any heretofore shown in this city. This display will be on Friday and Saturday. The motion for a new trial in the Richard- on-Scott case was not argued at this last rm of court, but Judge Thornell is to come here during vacation and hear the argument. The motion is made on behalf of the plaintiff, who is dissatisfied with the amount of dam- ages awarded by the jury, In the police court yesterday morning John Croty was found guilty of an assault on the Z.crson of Contractor Callihan. Croty was locked up to await the sentence of the court. he prosccuting witness was not as badly braised as at first appeared, and it seems that the greatest damage was done to his feelings. ‘The attention of the chief of police is called to the gang of lonfers which daily congre- gates in front of the First National bank, es- pecially after banlang hours, and takes com- Plete possession of the bank steps and side- walk, rendering that corner almost impass- able to pedestrians unless they step oif into the mud.

TH OMAHA DAILY BEEJITHURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1888 THE CITY- COUNCIL HELPINC. It Orders the Rock Island to Re- move Obstructing Tracks. A VERY CROOKED HALL, An Alderman Gets the Job of Paint- Ing Hose Carts—Tobacco Chew- ers at the Court House— Political Talk. The Motor Must Get There. The common council met yesterday morn- ing at 10 o'clock, as a committee of the whole to act in reference tothe Lake Manawa motor line matter. A full board and the mayor was present. Being called to order the object of the session was stated, after which the council adjourned to visit the street and crossing 1n question. On their return the following report was unanimously adopted : *‘We, the committee of the whole, to whom was referred the petition of the board of trade and four hundred signers in reference to the Chicago, Rock Islana & Pacific railway company_blocking up South Ninth street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues, so a8 to prevent the public from the free and lawful use thereof, and further defying the common council the right to grant a good and operative ordinance to the Lake Manawa railway company to cross their tracks, located as above, would recommend that the said Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway company be notified at once by the marshal to open forthwith the said South Ninth street to the public by putting in good and sufficient approaches and street crossings, also to remove all extra tracks not granted b{ ordinance, and for the further protection of life and property that they put a reliable and competent flagman at said South Ninth street crossing, and further that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway company be required to obey the ordinance of the onf' council by allowing the Lake Manawa rail- way company toputin their crossings at once, —— Lot 10, block 7, Bayliss’ first addition, with good house, will be offered cheap for the next ten days by S.

Now that the county is in possession of one of the tinest court houses in the west, it is proper that some care should be taken to keep it in a neat and attractive condition. Despite the fact that it has been occupied but a short time, the corridors have already been abundantly branded with tobacco chewers, who pass carelessly by the spittoons, with which the corridors are plentifully supplied, and cast their filthy expectorations about them on all sides, with an utter disregara of its effect on_the marble floors. Yesterday afternoon a Bee reporter stood at the foot of the main staircase and watched the visitors at this magnificent temple of justice, Of the 120 persons who were observed to pass along the corridors, seventy-one were seen to de. posit a liberal contribution of loud colored and_louder smelling saliva on the marble tiles, apparently oblivious of where they were, sixteen made long range shots at the spittoons and dismally failed to hit the mark, twelve were successful in their long distance marksmanship, seven took pains to o a little out of their way to make sure use of the receptacles provided, and the remaining nineteen failed to yield to what seemed to be an ungovernable de- sire to flood the court house, and were not seen to unload. Six of the seventy-one ag- gravated their offense by taking from their mouths an exhausted quid, and slapping it down upon the floor, Such figures as these are anything but flattering to the citizens of Council Bluffs and the surronnding country. It is probable that in but a few of these cases was there any malicious intent, yet it is_imperative that some means should be taken to prevent the continuation of such carelessness. 1t is entirely unnecessary and uncalled for, and it is hoped that those hav- authority in the matter will see to it at once that the nuisance is abated ey New Oity Directory.

Council Birffs has had the congres- sional representatives for this district so long that other counties are quite uneasy, and openly avow that the time has come for a change, Pottawattamie is reluctant to let g0, and if the nomination does not fall to its lot it will not be for a lack of candidates. Congressman Lyman is said to be quietly planning for a renomination. His friends in- sist that it takes at least two terms in con- gress before a representative is able to really do much for his constituents or for himself, and that it would be unfair to Major Lyman, aud unwise for his constituency to make & change now. His old democratic op&mncnl. W. H. M, Pusey, has been named by the opposition camp, but he declines having his name con- sidered, and makes this so emphatic that the democracy of this county is looking else- where. There are faint rumors that/Dan Farrell has congressional aspirations. He 1s a fresh importation here, and while he would rally the local democracy, he could also have @ hold on his old home in Mills county. Among the republicans here Colonel Sapp is named as usual, and is developing some strength, He has served, and is one of the old wheel horses of the party. As a repre- sentative of the young men J, J. Steadman 18 being pushed forward with some enthusi- asm. John Y. Stone could probably easily ain the nomination, but it is understood that e resists all advances in this line, and is not likely to be in the race at all. Judge Loof- bourow is prominent among the outside can- didates in the republican party. When he first ran for judge he was bitterly assailed, his personal record savagely attacked, an perhaps if nominated these charges wouid be renewed with increased vigor. As one of his friends remarks, he has been lied about more than any man in the district, and cer- tain it seems that at the last election he had no opposition to speak of, those who had pre- viously attacked him in many cases were his supporters, and the race was a clear vindica- tion, —_—— Piles cured with certainty.

It looks as though the new city administra- tion had started in with the inteuntion of get- ting all the “spoils” possible out of their pgsitions. The first case where this is shown is in conncetion with the fire department, Heretofore, the members of this department ha been accustomed to do nearly all the work of repairing, paiuting, etc., that has been necessary to have done in that branch of the ice. There are several good painters, carpénters and blacksmiths amo the fire lads, and this work has been per- formed by them without extra expense to the city, and just as well as could have been y ser done elsewhere. A short time it wa determined to re-paint hose. carts Nos. 1 and 3, and_they were taken to a vacant building near the Upper Broadway fire houge for the convenience of the department painters, and duly received the first coat of paint, Now it seems that one of the mem- bers of the firc committee of the city council is Mr. E. T. Waterman, and this same Mr. Waterman is the owner of a carriago manufactory on North Main street, and runs a paint shop in connection with it. Yesterday morning an order was received to take the hose carts to Mr. Water- man's establishment and leave them there to be painted. Mr. Lacey, who is also a mem- ber of the fire committec, when nsked the reason for the change, said that Mr. Water- man informed Lim that there were no good painters in the fire department, and the work was accordingly given to him. It seems rather stiange that the painting done by members of the department should so sud denly become inferior, when it has thus far passed without complaint, and No. 4 hose cart has been allowed to run for the past year just as painted by them. The fire lads wax ‘quite ‘‘hot” over what they consider little less than an insult to them, and it is probaple that the taxpayers will wax consid- erably hotter when called upon to foot this entirely unnecessary bill, et Catch On to This.

STEWART, Committee. A Strange Coincidence. Last evening Mayor Rohrer and Aldermen Lacy, Weaver and Bellinger started for Des Moines to look after some needed legislation in regard to paving. By some strange coin- cidence, doubtless purely accidental, Tom Wright, of Des Moines, the well known at- torney for the Rock Island, appeared herc yesterday and last evening started back home on the same train. In view of the po- sition taken by the council in attempting to force the Rock Island to get out of the way of the motor line, the query naturally arises in the minds of some. whether the génial at- torney can cause the city officials to weaken. He is one of the most fascinating talkers, a close student of human nature, and quite persuasive. The trip to Des Moines doubt- less afforded him an excellent opportunity to present the Rock Islafid’s side in the most favorable light, but he will doubtless find it no easy task to swerve the aldermen from the position to which they have committed themselves. If the official tourists are caused to weaken any by the talented and genial attorney, it will beasad disappointment to the home constituents, who have clected them in the full confidence that they have too hard sense to be easily moulded, even under the manipu- lations of skillful railway managers, —— The ladies of the Degree of Rebekah will give an Easter social at Odd Fellows hall, Saturday evening. March 31, All 0dd Fellows and their families are es- pecially invited. b McKissock's Successor. Vice-President Smith and Attorney Shel don, of the Wabash, left for Chicago last evening. The result of their visit here is not yet known, as none of the officials will talk concerning the matter. This much is known, howeyer, that their visit was bronght about by the death of Col. McKissock, and has a bearing on the appointmentof his successor. It has been generally reported th Smith would be appointed to fill the vacauey, but the Bee is informed on reliable authority that such will not be the case. It is also stated that the new man is already agreed upon, but that several changes are to be made before the appointment is made known. —— e Criminal Cases. Among the cases to be called at the next term of the district court that is to be opened on the 3d of April by Judge Deemer, are the following second trial; F. ¥. W. Hutchinson, larceny: John Haunsen, A. R, Smith, Hugh Thompson, perjury; D Carrigg, contempt; William Lineerger, Dan Carrigg, Ed Sherlock, Ed Anderson, keeping gambling houses; Hugh Thompson, bigam, N. A. Seamens, embezzlement. There are also cases against par keeping houses of ill-fame as follow Mabel Marx, Ell; Stella Long. The trial of John Quirk, for confidencing William Polenz will also come up at this term, The saloon cases are also on this docket. e Another Bad Man Gone Right. The all-around crook called Hall who got away with a suit of clothes from Oliver's tailoring establishment, was taken to the penitentiary last night. He will remain there two years. A strong effort was made to get Judge Thornell to order him held here until Judge Loofbourow, who tried the case, could hear the motion for a stay, but Judge Thornell refused to grant the order, and the prisoner was taken to Fort Madison last evening. Sheriff O'Niel feels a little easier, for while Hall was not hard to manage, yet he is so cunning that he needed constant watching lest he should attempt to escape. B P Masonic.

A Difficult Piece of Engineering in California. San Jose Herald: The Aptos creek debouches here into the sea, and run- ning up this creek seven miles to the base of grim old Loma Prietta is a rail- road built and owned by the Loma Prieta Lumbercompany. This wonder- ful little road, hidden away in the bowels of the mountaing and creeping up the Aptos gulch, is, besides being the prettiest bit of railroad scenery i California, the most remarkable feat of railroad engineering north of Peru, Five miles of the road were built four years ago. The timber having been cut out within reach of the railroad, the company greull{ desired to end the road two miles further up in order to reach the magnificent basin of the Aptos, a wide, flat opening in the heart of the mountains, filled with some of the finest redwood timber on the coast. But there appeared to be insuperable diffi- culties in the way. Engineers were sent thither to explore the route, and they reported it impracticable, The grades were too steep, the gorges 100 narrow and the curves too short. The company at last appealed to Mr. Mac- Leod, who went and looked over the ground, ; I can butld it,” he said, “'if you back me with the money. ““You may have all the money you want,” was the reply. He went to work last June and has just finished the road, Itis a remark- able achievement. Some ideas of the ditficulties that had to be overcome may be gathered from a knowledge of these facts: The average grade of the new extension is 211 feet o the mile, the maximum grade :being 2 feet: The maximum atafe is twenty-four de- rees. (that is, an Angle of twenty-four degrees in every 100 feet). When the basin is reachefl (through which the foad runs a mile), there are lighter grades and harder curves, there being one twenty-six-degree curve, making atotal of ninety-weven degrees. The rades of 211 fect are on the twen four degree curves, the grades of 204 feet being on the tangents. The road crossgs and recrosses the creek many times, requiring numerous trestles and bridges. On one of these bridges there isa curvature of 18 de- rees on a fifty-foot span. At the high ridge, a fine piece of work, the track is seventy-five feet above the bed of the creek, and a quarter of a mile above it is “'Devil’s Gate,”” a narrow gorge occu- pied wholly by the creek, where the road is cut through the rock, and is only seven feet above the ereek. This gorge was a difficult passage, two bridges being required in a space of 150 feet. A queer-looking locomotive, a power- ful machine that carries its water on its back, is kept on this road, making daily trips. In the summer a passenger loco- motive and train will run to Loma Priesta, and beyond that the queer locomotive will run to the end of the road and bring down the timber to be cut at Loma Prieta. So steep is the grade that very slow progress is made and in coming down the brakes have to be set very hard, It isa charming ride from beginning to end. All the lumber is but at Loma _Prieta, where there is a little town and a big mill, The mll has alarge circular saw, wish an over- saw, and they but boards six feet wide and have a capacity of 60,000 feet a day. Between the upper end of the road and the base of the mountain of Loma Prieta is a ridge, and at the base of this ridge several creeks—the Los Gatos, at an elevation of 2,536 feet above the sea; the Soquel, 1,180 feet, the Aptos, 1 feet, and the Corralitos,. all l‘owiu;.v in different directions.the Los Gatos north, the Corralitos ea the Aptos south and the Soquel southwest. The end of the track is four miles from the base of Loma Prieta, and a town has sprung up there, callee Monte Vista. It isa won- derful sight—this getting out of logs and firewood. Who has seen a greased skid road up a mountain and oxen drag- ging down logs? Who has seen mules loaded with wood climbing down the sl(‘(-]]»( rils? Who has seen a giant red- wood, six to ten feet in diameter, felled by the axemen and come orushing down with thundering noise? It is a grand sight and one worth seeing, and there is fishing and huuting there, too. St A HORRIBLE DESERT SCENE. Floating Arms and Legs and Black- Robed Priests in the Blue Ether. “Whoop up the romping spooks out east of Bartow.” said John Carson, an Atlantic & Pacific railroad man, to a San Francisco Examiner reporter yess terday: T saw yowhad something 1n'the Examiner several weeks ago about the mirage on the Mojave desert, and the myriads of people that were seen in hoats about there., - Well, they're thi ening up. In winter time, you know. they always get- thicker. months now 1 running the hundred-mi out east of Bapstow. The used to loom . up about other day. Now we sce them nearly the time. They’re tne ghoulest lot of things, too, I ever did see. They ap- pear in all sorts of shapes. At first they were a tolerably respectable lot of ghosts, clad in white, with faces and hands that looked very much like ap- paritions as shown pictures, only they appeared and -disappeared, floa ing horizontally and in every other po- sition in the air, and always stand about a quarter of a mile away from us. Now you can get within an eighth of a mile, and some of them are trigged out like Indians, with feathers in their hair and sometimes with a streak of red around their bodies. *'The scientists say that the increase in the phenomena is owing to the at- mospheric changes at this time of the year. Whether it 18 ornot. I know they would have a very hard time c vincing the people of it who travel over our line. A woman last year, who was from Illinois, fainted dead y when she got a glimpse of them sailing on an imaginary lake. Lakes and green trees appear without number now on the Col- orado desert. Fringing these lakes with a circle of green, and with the strange characters floating about on them, a queer sight is presented. You can never get nearer than an eighth of a mile to these lake **There rose up in front of the engine last Saturday, however,” said M Ca son, “the strangest conglomeration of figures that I presume mortal eyes ever beheld. 1 see the piv!\lrunP Dante Inferno as illustrated hy Dore? It was something like that, the wierdest, aw- fulest sight, an admixture of floating arms, legs and pieces of shrouds. Threc or four whitefaced women, as m; bearded men, and & solemn-vi priest in white robes floated in the blue either with the mass. Sol Anderson, our engineer. was the most scared man you ever saw. He puton every pound of steam he had, and we went tearing over the desert like mad. Wells, Fargo's agent,I thought, would have died. Lucky for us that the awful mirage hovered by the engine and tender, else we should have had a howling lunatic asylum aboard the train, Do you suppose I could have convinced them that these things were not genuine. Not much, Fact is, I had all I could do to hold my- self level, Every time I looked at them Igaid: ‘My God! those things are real! There can't be anything so clearly rep- resented as that and not be genuine!’ Well, they hovered there for twenty minutes, and then disappeared like a flash. Beyond were nothing but our green-fringed lakes. “Phe desert justnow is unusually hard and parched. The supn shines clear and warm. 1f the apparitions thicken, 1 don’t know what we will do with our people. Some of them are likely to go raving wad.” e The Champion High Jumper. Probably the most wonderful athlete of modern times is W. Byrd Page, the champion high jumper of the world, whose record of six feet four inches stands unparalled in the history of the athletic sports, Page 15 a member of the Manhattan club, and always com- etes under their colors, Asa child, e was sickly and his legs were very weak, but g_v atbletic exercises, he strengthened them. His favorite pas- time was bicycle riding, and some of his performances on the wheel have been recorded. Page is now five feet six and three-fourths inches, and weighs 150 pounds. An idea of his marvelous work can be gmned from the fact that he clears a bar almost ten inches higher than his head, After winning every championship in sight in this country, he went t0 Enghhnd and tried for the championship of England and Ireland, although suffering from a se- vere strain, On his return he won the championship of America for the third time. He u,lur\vurds cleared two si teen-hand horses without weights. Lust spring he graduated at the university of Pennsylvania, and this year is taking a coursé in mechanical engineering. The intercollegiate hl:ul'ls‘hih_ spring in New York will probably be his last ap- pearance in public. In bicycling Page has wheeled 10,000 miles, toured through eleven states and two provinegs of Can- ada, a distance of 5,800 miles, has ex- Klorml 8,541 miles of new rondway, and ne tabulated the same in the L. A. W, Road Book of Penngylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. flo also holds the three and four day touring records of Amerfca, In a running high jump com- petition he has never received a handis cap. He has competed sixty-six times, and has been defeated from the scartch but five times. He has broken four board floor records. He has twice broken the intercollegiate record and three times the American record. He has broken the American amateur rec- ord ten times and the £nglish amateur record once. He has also broken the Canadian amateur record once, the worlds amateur record twice and the world record once. He to-aay holds the championships of America, Canada, En- gland, Treland and the intercollegiate championship, The decrease of salmon in the Colum- bin rivor is causing fishermen to change their base of operations to Alaska.
