Mention has already been made of the fact that an electric omnibus has been seen threading its way through the maze of metropolitan trafiic, says the St. James Gazette, The new vehicle has room for twelve persons inside. The door is placed at the back in the ordinary way; but there is no *‘knife- board,” nor gurden-seats upon the roof; neither is there a box-seat, which used to be so popular with subarban riders. Instead, the driver, who need not be a mechanid, occupies a platform, which is provided with steering geer, and the coachman is known as *‘the man at the wheel.” He can calculate toa nicety the course which he should take, his perch being sufficiently lofty to give hima good look-out. His helm con- trols levers which are connected with the front wheels, Thege latter are un- derneath the bus, and they are wvro- tected by an arrangement correspond- ing to the cow-catcher of the American locomotive, The electric omnibus is the invention of Mr. Radcliffe Ward, who has propelled the machine for ull:- wards Fb - of 200 miles in London thorou, faves, and has satisfied himself that it cau be m% with perfect ease, whether in glim] up Ludgate hill or the Haymarket, or turning 1n and out gst the hucksters’ 1s of Leath- e.

The Controversy graphical Union is Engaged. —_— AUSTRALIAN \g_OTlNu SYSTEM, il Introduction Into Organization lg w as the Broth- erhood of Umited Labor— Othor Indu$irial Notes, 2 Contracts, The Omaha Typographical union will be the first in this state to test the mer- its of tho Australian system of voting, and the test will be a fair are about two hundred and seventy-five members of the craft entitled to vote, which is about an #verage number of voters allowéd in & precinct under the new style. The polls for the election of one. delegates and officers, will bo opened at 12 o'clock, noon, the last Wednesday of the present month, and will remain open until 7:80 in the evening. The single ticket with the namoesof the candidates, will be furnished by the committee; and the voters will mark those thoy wish to seo elected, Other labor organizations interested in the general introduction of the system will be anxious to see how it works, and a record of the entire pro- ceedings will be carefully kept. Within the next ten days a new labor organization will be erhood of United Labor. In many things it is similar to the Knights of Labor, and yet, as it is intended to overcome the alleged defects of that order, 1t differs from it essentially. - Its ranks will be open to all who earn their living and wish to become members. 1f thore is a union or assembly of any given trade, the applicant must be & member fn good standing of that union, but if he is_employed in a business or trade that has no “organization, he is equally eligible to membership. The main object of the order isto unite labor, both skilled aund unskilled, and, at the same time, put a stop to the senseless ordering of strikes. Itis in- tended that no one man, no matter what his official capacity may be, shail have authority to order or countenance a strike. That is to be left to the mem- bers of the unions themselves, and must be decided by a vote of those in- terested, Members of other unions will not be allowed to vote on the ques- tion. of a strike that does not affect themselves; but, if a vote decides that the members of miy one union shall strike, then the rempining members of the brotherhood Wil give them their moral and financigl ~ support. The brotherhood is of-fecent origin, but bids fair to become gne of the most pow- orful labor orgdnizations in the country. 7 “If some of the ¢fher unions would only do as we have done,” said a promi nerit member of -he typographical union, “I think they would find a way out of their ditticultic Two y ago we met the bosses and f seale of prices which was satisfactory to all concerned. Then we made a contract toabide by it for two years, aml we Lave done it. The result is that we have not had a strike during that time, ‘although before that there was always some office gotting: month or so, It h gi good men, and it has given the good wages, and to-day thereis not a city i the United States that is doing as well all around by the printers as men Omaha. The contract will expire 1n a short time, but if the bosses wish to have the contract extended I think it is safe to suy there will be no opposition from the men who have worked under it so long. Now, if the building trades could only make some kind of an agree- ment for the season it would be better for them and for us because a printe any one. THe B was right when it edvised the adoption of the plan, and if any of the other unions want to know y can call on any of our fellows. The present administration at Wash- ington is tobe called upon at once to face one vhase of the labor question, It has leaked out that a combination of job printers, known as the typothetw, has memorialized the executive, to give out printing contracts to those sup- posedly the best able to perform them, and without recognizing any rights which the typographical union con- siders us its own. They are also said to ask that the membership of the typo- graphical vnion be ignored in filling vacancies in the government printing office, and this is looked upon as a di- rect allenge to the International Typographical union, nimbering as 1t does many thousands of printers throughout the country, and considered one of the most powerful of labor organ- izations. The latter has, accordingly, taken action in the maiter, and private circulars have been sent to all labor unions asking them to take some con- certed action to lay the matter in proper light before the government. It is probable that this will be done by pe- titioning, and, 1f 1t is, and the petition is signed by all the organized wage- workers in the United States, it will show a strength thav will only have to be seen to be appreciated. Omaba Cen- teal Labor union, Typographical union and other unions have received the circulars, and immediate action will be taken, In future the Central Labor union will meet on the second and fourth Fri days in each month instead of Monday nights as formerly, ;Last Friday night the Australian system of voting was discussed, and, as the action of the judi- cial committee seeméd to fail of giving satisfuction with reference to the sys- tem for Nebraska, itivas determined to send Mr. Abernethy_down to Lincoln once m .

The happiness of meet- ing him again was scarcely move than the interest his report of himself aroused. The young man had acquitted over the himself like a knight---but here's his story, Shortly fafter purting with me he was tran, cd to the packot line plying botween Sydney and Melbourne. He was detailed aboard a boat called the Commodore. He had made a trip or two and started for what turned out to be his last run in the blistering heat of Chri «day. You .are doubtiess i i the scasons are reversed. It was a two-days’ run. On the first night out, in the late watches, a typhoon or some other kind of a terri- ble wind- struck the ship. The storm came up with the suddenness and destructive encrgy of a cyclone or a tornado in this country. The boat went on a rock and was re- duced to fragments as swiftly and completely as though choYpud to pieces by huge axes, The people were all abed; no one had time to dress and few even the opportunity to effect an . The wreck was exnloited as a disaster and is well known in Aus- As it was such a hot night Ley- n his cabin with every stitch of At the first crash he rose, seized a cork snit, and ished on deck, feeling the vessel pa ing. He caught a glimpse of indeserib- able confusion aboard ship but could see no one. He was knocked flat by the force of the shock and a moment later was overboard. The water was lashed to a white fury and boiled like in a kettle. Waves had not had time to rise and the blast just skimmea the water like a ter- rible seythe. He was unable to take cogunizance of anything but felt himself drawn rapidly along by a strong tow. He had not heard a shout nor seen a fellow voyager from the moment he left his bunk. He kept his head dispite the wild experience, and before daylight his feet touched bottom. He helped himself along slowly, mounting a sandy slope, until as the sun rose he dis- covered that it was low tide and he was on a long Deach projecting from tho mainland, He was little the worse for wear, but the gratitude he felt for his comparatively happy situation and the almost certain prospect of rescue overcame him and he knelton the sand and—I have his word for He waited where he was uatil it got full light and took observations. He saw that his own course was necessarily along the sandy cape to the timbered shore a mile away, H turned to scan the water. Along the shallow bar there was the merest surf, and beyond the water shone like a glass. The furious tempest had come and gone in a breath and left no agitation on the sea. There was some wreckage not far away, and the whole of the main truck was stuck aground near at hand. The closest serutiny could reveal no life about it, but as he shifted his eye he discerned at some distance beyond the mast the body of & man in the shimmer- ing water. He shouted but .elicited neither movement nor reply, The body stood upright, and he could see by the' gleaming shoulders that the unfortunate wus no more amply clad than himself. There was nothing to do but lend a hand to this fellow-sufterer, who was either gone, or going, so he waded forth. He ound the floater upbeld by a ring buoy. aground but helpless, and the object of the interested contemplation of ‘a con- siderable school of basking sharks. He seized the buoy, swam to a good footing, and then scrambled out of the water, dragging the stranger by the head an arms with a haste and violence that left the buoy behind, It was & necessary fiurt of the play to be prompt, as the ig fishos, determined at last upon the character of the bait and seeing it es- cape, rushed for it in concert. They got the buoy, and after a fight for it in the shoals, made off to deep water with the fragments, Leyton had dragged nimsell and his new-found friend as high as he might on the sand, and after the intimidating pursuit of the sharks had passed turned his attention to the ton lay his clothing removed. limp and inanimate but warm and evidently llvms body by which he erouched.

How like a stranded nereid in a Bouguereau! “But Loeyton had no eye nor sense for the picture.

The fair woman lying there was no more to him than il she had been ove of the Swedish seamen thatsank with the wreck.

She had but that moment regained her senses. f*Come, woman. We mustget to the bluffs.

It was as Virginia with the naked sailor, 0 modesty that by a last resort would cloak itself in death. *‘Leave me! Leave me!” she cried. ‘I will go back to the sea and drown.’ ““He unceremoniously dragged her to her feet, and scizing her by the arms pushed her ahead of him by main force. She struggled and wept as they pro- ceeded in this toilsome manner. A half mile of sun-baked, white, sandy shingle lay botween them' and a line of low biufls that was green with vegetation. Leyton from time to time bcsoughlh\hu their young woman to yield to imperative needs and march with out reducing him to such labor. She replied each time by imploring him to kill her. At Jast the blistering streteh of sund was crossed, and Leyton made the short but steep ascent of the bluff, dragging his refractory comrade like a dog by the colar. A soft breeze stirred on this eminence and there were palms and acacias that made o grateful shade upon a_ grassy, lawn-like sward, Tnto this shelter Leyion staggered upon the last stage of his journey. Before moving to other incumbenti steps he mounted his companion with leaves and Dbushes, and devising a rude, Adamic sort of a vesture for himself, procured some succulent fruits and set about al- laying her hysteria, She proved in brief season with refreshments and good counsel 1o be a young woman of mind and she left off her distressful be- havior and was rational, After an hour of rest and reinvigoration Leyton left his charge in her primitive bower, thor- oughly restored to calm judgment, and went forth to reconnoiter. He had to walk six miles to encounter signs of man and at last came upon a miserable settlement of lumbermen who cheerfully gave him garments for both himself and his com- panion and provided a mule cart by which the lady brought in. On the following day one of numerous rescuing parties out from Melbourne scouring the const found them. Notmore than n half- dozen lives were saved from the lost steamer. On reaching Melbourne Ley- ton became a lion. He was equipped with a regal apparel and given hospital lodgment in the mansion of his !uhuw- survivor’s father. He had rescued not only an heiress but a sweet and win- some young woman, the amiable queen of one of Melbourne’s best coteries. Leyton is a handsome, well-bred fellow, and fits into his place like a glove. “Now, I wish lpcmlhl say that the old geutleman came around and said: *Ley ton, you're a fine and gallant gentle man. a worthy son of mine. Here's my daughter’s hind and the half of my for- tune, take them.” Sadly enough things are not done in that way in this world. The father had no more notion of marrying his daughter to Leyton than he would haye had if a nobly trained dog had done the same ser- vice. He gave that young man £5,000, which a number of the gentlomen friends of the voung lady duplicated. However, there are more matter-of-fact ways for arranging happy conclusions to true stories and some not less roman- tic than fiction. The young lady failed to recoup her spirits as her friends hoped, and one day after a fow weeks, when Leyton was about to end kis term of luxurious leisure by a return to Eogland, she said to him in the sad and simple way that had lately become her wont: God made us to be elernully to- gether or forever apart,’ “The eagerness with which Leyton seized both the opportunity and her hand showed that he was forestalled in the avowal. *'Oh, say together,” he cried, ‘but assure me first that your sentiment is of love, and not of gratitude or the spur of modest duty?’ ‘*Come to me this day six months, We will pass the interval with hearts on trial.’ He went to England but was back in Melbourne on appointment. Both the trials weve ended and the joint verdict was enthusiastically favorublo. They are at the Grand Pacific now—no, not now; for their west bound train is just pulling out at this hour.” There was a sticring party and a long sigh of interest and admiration.

These olden things which the hand of time has either brushed aside or renewed and embelished with the gilt of modern times—the landmarks of a generation gone into eternity —they attract us by their quaintness and awaken pictures such as our fathers looked upon. How different from the scones of to-day! Council Blufts 1s not lacking in these “monuments af the past.” Most of them live only in the memories of u fow persons. Some stand to-day the pilars of a historic time. The first store build- ed on the Bluffs was a rude structure made of logsand located on Broadway where J. M. Seanlon’s meat market now stands. It was ocoupied by J. £, Johuson with a stock of drugs and no- tions. It was the only store in Kanes- ville. €. D. Voorhis soon followed with & building opposito the Methodist church. Just cast of this spot D. Amy put up o shanty and Jaid in a_stock of stoves.” The first store which has resisted the ravages of the years and stands to-day and is now oc- cupied by Robert Mulfis. It was built by J. B, Stutesman in 1856, He occu- pied it with a stock of dry goods. Not- withstanding, the building has been painted again and again the old sign can be still discerned. Babbett & Rob- inson completed another store building next door to Stutesman’s the same year, Tootle & Jackson followed noxt tothem. This store is now oceupied by K. B, Gardiner. A man by the namoe of Gooch opened the first commission house ncross from the Methodist church sito, while a part of that lot was oceu- pied by a ‘“‘general” store run by Ku- bank & Henshall. In those days there were no buildings below Park avenue, Of those pioneers, two only ave living, viz.: J. B. Stutesman, at rlan, Ia., and W. H. Robinson, of this city. The first gentile marriage occurred in 1852. There wera no preachers and a justice of the peace officiated, the con- tracting partics wero James Jackson anfl Henrietta Cook. The second mar- ringe was solomnized by Rev. G. G. Rice and occurred in u little log church situated at the corner of Park avenue and Broadway. This couple were Mr. W. H. Robinson and Miss Mary Aun Laflorty. The third marriage occurred in 1855 and was celebrated soon after the opens ing of the Pacific house, in which it took place; “‘the old Pacific house,” we call it now, but then it was the pride of the west. A. J. Poppleton of Omaha and Miss Carrie Sears, daughter of the proprietor of the hotel,” were then united. . The oldest member of the band of Latter Day Srints, residing “in Council Bluffs, is William Garner, after whom Garner township is named.

Nailed to the outer wall was a sign which “bore this strange devie “Goin out Doin Days Works Taken iu hear.” This peculiarity in sigus did not stop with the above, for to-day theve ace many which are fully as striking to the public eye. Upon® a in~ house whose occupauts give hard and honest toi for” their daily bread is a card which gives this infor- matio “Dress Making and Fiting done here.” Another announces to a hungry publie: “Boorders Wanted near.”” 1t is havdly presumable that the sign indicates the character of the eaters wanted, ‘‘boors,” nor that no deal mutes are wantod, Another hash factory says it_wants “Boarders by the Day or Weak,” and yct it 1s safe 1o say the hush would be wenk enough if the boarder wasn't. A young und rising confectioner, whose wpelling is hardly on a par with his goods, announces “Home Maid Candy,” but whether the “Maid” goes usu chromo with every package sold is not stated, A lady living not far from Broadwa; announces horself as a ‘‘Cleorvoint.” The sign is u home-made institution, as well as her insights into futurity, Two ludies, a married lady and a widow, called recently and had their fortunes told. According to the revelations made the married lady will shortly meet the man she is to marry and will become the mother of a large family; while the widow and her husband ‘‘do not get on well together.” Perhaps not, but if they do not she doesn’t know it. A certain grocer announces that he has “'[lower & Feed” for sale, but the mx]ly flowens he sells are cabbages and celory its patrons to pay cash for their work by saying *Money for checks and checks for mon No markers put up.” Itis safe to siy the trade is not lessened but the “*boys’ catch on just the same.
