All the Sewers Flooded and Several ‘Washouts Result. The heavens did more than weep last night. The tear drops wore large pails of water. The rain, which began to fall about 10 o'clock, came down in tofrents shortly after midnight, and did considerable damage by flooding the streets and overcrowding the capacity of sewers. Hickory street, between Tenth and Elev- enth, was badly washed. The thoroughfare is not paved and its incline gave the rushing wuter full sway, and it cut the street to pieces, The sewer on Hickory, near Eleventh, was also flooded, and the water streamed over the entire fleld. The fire department was notified to hold itself in readiness for a call to that neighborhood during the night. Douglas street wasflooded from Fifteenth down to b, and it was almost impossible for podestrians to cross the thoroughfare anywhere between Ninth and Fiftoenth. During tho electrical storm it was thought the motor cars would meet with some acci- dent by the lightning getting on _the electric wires, but up to & late hour no misfortunes were reported. — That hacking coug hcan be so quickly oured by Shiloh’s Cure.

Mr. Boindorff, of Fowler & Beindorff, the architects making the winning plan of the city hall, gives the following descrintion of the building contemplated by their plan: The Farnam street entrance is thirty-two feet in width on an extreme ground measure- ment. On a very massive base aro grouped combination columns, the caps of which are beautifully carved and intertwined, forming rather a mass than a distinctive column effect. ringing therefrom is the arch, which is very ‘massive in character, with voussoirs splayed inward, and neatly carved, presenting a heavy appear- ance, This feature is comparatively a new one. Above the arch are inscribed the words “City Rall, Omaha, Nebraska,” with a shield on either side bearing the dates 6f the organization of thie city and the initiation of the builaing. Still higher is a cap of very massive cornices of-but few members ending in a gargoyl at each end for theldischarge of water from the surmounting balustrade, which would make a good speaking stump, On each side of the entrance are two heavily arched windows, and at the extreme sautheast corner is & minaret starting from a mluu:slvd base und coutinuing above the roof. Covering the second and third stories is a magnificent grouping of five double win- dows, the ceuter ona being slightly higher than the others and differently panep. This grand facade of windows, with gracefully grouped columns on the sides and conter, shows at once that it is the exterior of tho principal room, the council chamber, and stamps the building as the seat of municipal govurnment. The ability to thus prove the character of a building is a point always sought after by prominent architects, but 1t is seldom that such a spiendid realization is reached. It is a feature about which the professed critic, Mr. Garczynski, waxed funny, Above the grouped coluinus are panels of mosaic work in two colors of stone. The fourth story is comparatively plain, with straight caps and heavy paneling, rest- ing the eye for an inspection of the dormers which are distinctively Romanesque, resem- \IHnH very much in style those of the Mills building "in Boston, which was considered one of the finest efforts of the late Mr. Rich- ardson, ‘The central feature; the gable, is made more prominent by two octagonal columns, starting from the bileksiof dragous at' the base of-the arches(in the third story and wpping out with grifins holding the - shield of the state. ST - The fifth story of $he gable is a oharming grouping of a triple atcff, whose magnificent apex is finely carved and crowned by a fizure | reprosenting Liberty. *Chis statue also in- censed Mr. Garczyuski®o. su unwonted de- gree, ho claimil %“‘i« Bartholdi statue on Bedioe's island, m New York bay, to be an abortive attempvat art. He is opposed by some of the rleading architects of the world, who have deslarod it to be a marvel of art. 1900 1 have neglected:tn speak of the cornice, At its base is ropeagbd afeature that appears below, although in diffevent style. T'o this cornice the panels of mesaic in two colors of stone give & richi effact. "The cornico is broken by hrwkew:nu' gargoyl heads for the discharge of thb d¥ift wator which other- ‘wise would drift down over the faces of the Jdormers. Tho tower at the corner of Eighteenth and Farnam streets is 23 feet square at its base, battering in at the top of the first story to & width of 23 feet. In the first story are two windows, with combined arch and alleged balcony. Above this arch 18 very bhesvily carved rhnellln[ soveral feet 1o width, Gradually spring out by mea; an octagonal column running of the tower, lending grace an delicacy to this otlierwise massive foature. The second story of the tower is broken into a group of three windows, cov- ered by an arched cap. - This story is separ- ated from the next above by a molded: sill course. Springing from this sill course are grouped columun of the same character as those spoken of before, running up @ height of three stories, und arched massively. ‘I'he next story, which is above the roof, is a very wide arch, open ou cach of the four sdes, with wrought iroc spindle work Thero 1s alse® to each opening A baloony _offering & flne view of the city. Above these arch openings is introduced the same stylo of mosaic Wwork spoken of before, and at this height from the grotnd it will bo a very attractive feature. Scparatiz this stéry from the clock tower s a very heavily cacved stiil Course; The clock. dinl 18 eight feet in ai- ameter, ‘and it is supported by a beantiful fru\lpn[ conbination columns springing to the areh covering the cloc Then comes {hio Bbraice of gho towor, which® is very massively carved and onding on two corners with a gargyle to discharge the water from the roof of the tower. Above this springs to a heighth of 28 feet, the roof of the tower, terminating in & solid copper piate, In a goneral way it might bo stated that massiveneas, rather than delicacy, has been studied, and the design throughout is in per- fect keoping with that idoa. There is no in- congruous blending of Romanesque, modern gothic and renaissance. Tho exposed por- tion of the roof is less than half pitch and is covered with corrugated, not hollowed tile, and finished with solid cresting, making it unquostionably the finest roof in exikting. "his stylo of roof is now being used on most of the principal buildings haying similur cx posures and is of the same material, though of difforent pattern, as ‘the Merchants’ National bank, of this city The Eighteenth stroet elevation is much the same as to detailed parts as the Farnam street front, the distinctive feature being two circular minavets. Starting from a base of 85 feot thoy are connected by n massive arch, forming the Bighteenth strect ontrance, with'the balcony over it. Above this to the top of the fourth story the windows ure splendidly divided into groups and the arch idea 18 again introduced over the handsome Dbalcony at the entrance to the library on the fifth floor. Above the roof these minarots assumo conical shape and are finished like the main tower with a finial of solid coppor. As to the interior of the building, wo will commence at the basement. There are areas on tho alloy and east side. Thero are storuge vaults for the treasurer, comptroller, engi- neer and clork.. There is a geueral work and supply room for the city engineer. Station- ary engineers and firomen of the building havo also a fio ul work room. Then there 18 a storage departmont for the batteries and different electrical appliances. Almost in the center of the building are the three boil- ors, two low and one high pressure. Behind these is the cistern for the water which is used in supplying the hydraulic force of the elevators_ also a supply tank direct from the city main, which will supply the building with water, which will be pumped to the root as & distributing point. Along the alley a fuel room is constructed 8o as to receive fuel direct from wagons. Then there are water closets for the employes, and the city engineer and his assistants, On the first floor thero is eightecn-foot entrance loading by massive granite steps to the vestibule. It is worked in a eroup of arches. Turning eastward you enter the oity clerk’s oftices, consisting of a public room, one for the assistant clerk, 23x30; & private office in the southeast corner of the the building sufticiently large to accommo- date the city council sitting as a_board of equalizatios 26x30 book-keepers' room, and avault 14x20. On the other side of the main entrance are the treasurer'soffices, comprising the same accommodations the clerk possesses, with the oxception that 89x45 is allowed the public room, thirty feet of which is devoted to counter space. The private office 18 in the tower in the south- west cornor of the building. Going straight into the building you pass under avery heavy Romanesque arch. The same feature is introduced over the Seven- teenth street and east ontrances. Then is enountered the grand staircase, twelve feet wide, wita an elevator on_each side, These elevators are of a peculiar construction, and, will be, wien finished, the finest of their kind in tho United States. There is no shaft railing, and the elevator is exposed on three sides., The doors on each fioor enter from the same side, and the cars will be of & very rich oriental design. The court will be superior m general effect to that of the Rookery, in Chicago. The comptrofier’s office is to the west, and is 22: with a vault 93¢x22, and accountant’s room 20x40, and a. private ofice Tor the comptroller, with an exit through the entrance on the rear of the building. There ~is ulso-an entrance leading out of the alley. Comung back to the court and turning 1o the east, you enter the city telograph office, with private office and vauli, and stairway leading to the chief of police to the seoond floor directly above. The arrange- ment of the telegraph quarters is original ‘with our plan. It is a matter of great im- portance in eastern cities, and also in Omaha. Next to the telegraph office 1s the oftice of the chief of the fire department. When an alarm is sounded it will be sent first to this telegraph oftice ana forwarded from it with orders to the different fire stations. The chief of the fire department has an experi- mental room and private oftice, the door of which is immediately to the right of the exit in the rear, so that in case of an alarm he will be able to reach his horse in the alley without runuing through the building. He also has a vault for his records. On the second siory the principal room is the council chamber, fronting on Farnam street, 52x88, and twenty-six feet in height, with & massive groined and pancled ceiling. 1t has a vault and toilet rooms, and an arch in the west end, iu the center of which is the president’s chair. The wainscoting in this room is twelve feet high, and above that tho finish is of Moorish design, in columns and arches, with a splendid cornice and frieze. In coul jon with the council chamber are the president's reception room, private office in the tower and throe largd committee rooms. On this floor are toilet rooms, both for ladics and gentlemen, that of the ladies being placed under the stair- way. On the Kighteenth street side are the assessment bureau, with private ofice and vault; overseer of the poor, with waiting room, closet and vault. In the roar are the board of health and city physician, with pri- vate office and labaratory. On the east side is the chief of police. The Farnam street frout of the third floor is taken up by the council chumber gallery and mayor’s offices, the latter consisting of a room 35 feet square, a reception room and toilet, and private office in the tower with avault. Next to him on the Bighteenth street side is the license inspector, who has u private office, and direct connection with the mayor's office, This latter ar- rangement is to accommodate the mayor, who is & member of the license board. Next north of the license bourd is the city attor- noy, with a private office, public office and vault, and next isthe firoand polico com mission, with a 20x40 room for the examina- tion of applicants, On the rear of the build- ing are the elzction commissioners, wator commissioners, and the clerk, with private oftices and vaults, These three last named quarters are not in use av the presont time, but unquestionably will be when the build: completed. On this floor also ure adies’ and gentlemen's toilet rooms very conveniently arranged. The southwest corner of the fourth Hoor is taken up by the board of public works, which has @ board room 22x32, with vault, bdokkeeper's room, and private ofice and tower. Next to the board, on the Kighteenth street side, is the bureau of parks. Next the reserve room for the engincer and the vity engineer's private room. Extending scross the rear of the bullding are the on- gineer's public room, the oflice of the assist- ant engineer, with a spiendid drafting room 25x46, having. ample light from the north, with apparatus room and vaults. On the east and Farnam street sides aro the boiler inspector, with private ofice and vault, lumbing, sewer, gas, milic and sidewalk l’.n.mmu, nd the bureau of streets, with private oftice, ‘The point about tais tloor is that it 18 essential that the engiover aud board of public works shoul be to- gether, and if possible that the different inspoctors should be on the same floor with the board of public works, which has been brought out, This floor bas also good sanitary arrangements, On the fifth toor, the ent re east side and forty-two feet of the Farnam street front are devoted to the board of education, with an assembly room 42x52, free from posts, a private oftice for the president, wardrobe, and a 22)gx81y woom for the clerk of the board of education, with vault and private ofice, and a 204x 2534 room, with vault and private office for the superintendent of schools, There are a teachers' association room in the northwest corner, SO)(JX{I, and & ladies’ private meet- 10g room, 124x20, witn wardrobe and par- lor, In the southwest corner Lhere is a room, 531471, 10 be used as & library. This room has no posts in it. The library oftice and vault are in the tower, and there is & stair- way leadiug out of the office to the clock tower. ‘The entrance to the library is mag- nificent, and the left of it the offiee of the clerk, which will be divided by & rell s0 as to admit of the cublic and clerk without tres- pass oudupon the other. To the right, di- rootly in front of the olerk, is an arch 14 foet wide leading to the reading room of the I brary, whith 31x341 foo On the rear of the building there fs a pri- vate stairway loading to the janitor's quar- tors, store rooms, tanks, otc., which are over tho rooms the teacher’s association and sud perintendent. AFLOAT ON A LIFE BUOY. The Extraordinary Adventure of an English Steamship Enginoer. Mr. A. M. Battye, engineer of the stonmer Gulf of Trindad, who arrived at Plymouth yestorday from Barbndoes, narrates an almost unoxamplod adven- ture which befell during the voyage of that ship, says the London Telegraph. The Gutf of Trindad, while voyaging from Iquique for Rurope, encountered heavy weathor, during which, soon after 12 o'clock on n dark night, Battye was washed overboard. The accident was observod on board, and a life-buoy was immediately thrown over and the vessol stopped. Battye sunk deeply swhen reaching the water, but on rising to the surface he struck out swimming, and reached the life-buoy. The way on the steamer carried her far beyond him and though the boat was lowered, the prospogt of finding him in such weather and at night, was jalmost hopeless. Battye soon consed to see the ship, and when daylight came he found himself alone on the life-buoy & hun- dred miles, so far as he know, from any help, He kept afloat through- out the next day, although the tropiocal heat of tho sun was intense. The following night he suffered terri- bly from boing without anything to eat or drink, and in momentary danger of being swallowed by the sharks of that region. Another day he held on with amazing endurance, his physioal ex- haustion and mental anxiety being in- tense. For the next night he ceased to feel hungry, but suffered from exces- sive thirst. The third day dawned to fied him still in the same position. On the evening of thut day & Norwegian bark passed elosed by him, the stoors- man of which saw an object in the water, and thought he suw Battye move. The bark was immediately put about and a boat lotvered, and after a short search found the buoy with Battye still clinging to it, although when taken on board the bark he was ensible. He was treated with great care and kind- ness by the Norwegiaus, and, being travsferred to a home ship, has arvived in Plymouth to tell his marvelous tale. He is a fine young man, about twenty three yoars of age. The Norwegian captain retained the lifebuoy as & me- mento of the wonderful adventure. Battye has proceeded to the Home in London. 1t Proved a Bonanza. A well-known Philadelphia business man took in part payment for a bad debt two years ago the title to a lead mine in southern Colorado, according to the Press. He took the mine bec he could not get anything else to s for his $8,500. The mine was noglected until eight months ago, when some propertics near it “panned out” well and the Philadelphian hegan to invest- igate his own property. He went to Colorado, formed a company, and last October bogan to work the, mino. Be- fore Christmas it had paid him over $20,000 and ice then his dividends have averaged about $1,300 & week.
