The oity maintains that a street is already “locatea and established there, viz: a portion of South Twentioth street, but the property owners protest against this very vigorously They lave frequently fenced up tho streot, and the council bas just as ofton ordered them to remove the obstructions, and they have been torn down, On the occasion of tho iast demontion of the fences, about ten days ago, tho muarshal sven filed poxt iiolos and carted nwvay the material.

The Union Avenue Line. “The report is again current that the Union Pacile Railway company is seriouzy con- tomplating the discontinuance of . their duwmmy service on ths side of the river, and the consequent abaudoument of the Union averiue line. The ordinauce grauting the compuny o right-of-way on Union avenue provided that a half-hourly passenger service should be maintained, and thav stops should be made atthe intersection of Sixthand Union avenues. A forfeiture of all the rights and privileges granted by the ordi- nance was to result in case these conditions were not complied with. The half-hourly passenger service las never been given, anu it is & matter of conjecture whether or mot any other failure to comply with the conditions would result i an annulment of the com- pany’s privileges. It is known that the lina has not paid since the openiaz of the motor line, and it has been supposed that the com- pany was maintaiaing its dummy service for the sole purpose of retainwg its right of way. ‘I'ho opinion of a railway official was yes- terday sohcited on this powt. Suidhe, ‘Everybody kuows tha the line is not pay- ing intercst on the ties, let alone mak- ing money. The company is virtually pulting up so much each year to hold the line for what it may ba iworth to them some time in the future. It is worth nothing now. but if coal or lumber yards were to be located along there it would then come in good play. “The only thing that could be of valie to the company would be to have some motor com- pany buy it for an eloctric motor line, and that is what will come of it some day unless it is sooner forfeited. ‘The only money the dummy trains aremaking is between Omaha and South Omaha, aud that wiil stop as soon us the clectric motor e is started, The Union avenuo line canuot come in play for reaching & union depot, 8o thatit can only be used for such a purpose as [ have started. I would not be surprised to hear at any time that the line been abandoned.” AT L . A Perfect Rooffing., A great deal of interest was awakened yestorday among contractors and house builders by the new character of roofiing that is being put on the splendid new Sapp block, During the day a great many people climbed the five-story ladders to the roof for the purpose of ins| it, examining the material of which it is composed and watct - ing tho method of puttiog it on, The work was being done under the persoual super- vision of Mr. 5. P. MacConnell, manager of the Chicago Lumber company, the exclusive western agent for the roofing, Working under his direction were half a dozen men, and, although the work of covering the building was begun late in the morning, the workmen bad the roofing laid and ready to recewve the finishing touches by night. The muterial is known as the H, W, Johns asbestos roofiug. [u appearauce it some- what resembles heavy tarred felt, but in ap- fiourunue anl]V. 1t is compesed of a conter of eavy jute cloth, something hike ordinary floor” oil cloth. ' Oa each side of this is & thick coveriog of asbestos pulp mixed with an indestrucuble fire proof cement, The whole fabric is about as thick as ordinary linoleuw. It comes in rolls, and is laid transversely on tho roof with a lap of sev- eral inches, These laps are united by ce- ment, which makes them absolutely water tight. Each strip is nailed on the odges with special wrougnt nails, driven " one nch . apart, The whole surface is then coated with cement alluded to. It is then fnished up with a finul pro- Imrlmon that gives it a smooth surface, and s thon ready to withstand years of storm and ‘lunlhlm!. heat and cold without uny repairs, To demonstrata the faot that the material is absolutely fire-proof, Mr. MacConneil built a little bonfire on the roof and then tried to set fire to it by applying the flame directly to th® feather-edge of a newly cut striv, but the heat only succeeded in soften- ing g a trifle, ‘The waterial has the strength and tenacity of i, and is as indestructible in the ele- ments—fire, water and air—as granite. It is much cheaper than tin, cheaper even than first-class shingles, and will last as long as the building, upoa which it is placed, Tt will bo very popular with contractors and builders, for the cost of laying 18 nominally nothing.

Englishmen cannot help being inter- ested in the remarkable strides which have been taken on the other side of the Atlantic, where the rehabilitation of tho navy of the United States is being pushed ahend with the character- istic energy ofg cur Amervican cousins, says the London Army and Navy Ga- zette. If, perchance, there are any who haye not taken note of what is there going on, the imminent advent of four new and important cruisers in, our wi- ters should direct their attention that way. Itisnot so much, however, that the United States has made a very good beginning towards building up a mod- ern navy—this is but a trifle where “money s no object’---but there huve also been developed in the country fu- cilities of every kind for the creation of that navy without outside assistance. This can hardly vet be said of any other except France and Great ain. In 1885 it not only the that the United States no vessel-of-war which could have kept the seas for one week asagainst any flirst rate naval hower, bub they wers absolutely depen- o upon our manufacturies for forging of guns, for armor, for wachine and rapid-fire guns and the like. Now,four years later, not only has much been done in the way ef constracting vessels which are as good as anything of a sim- ilar type afloat, but arrangements have been made by which rhey will be able shortly to create entirely from their own resources every modern implement of war, including steelsclad battle ships of the heaviest tonnage, with their guns and armor, By the ond of the year the Bethlehem Iron company, of Bethlehem, Pa., one of the largest manufactories in the states, has guaranteed to have erected the plant for the production of armor and gun forgings of the largest kind. Other companies have taken in hand the supply of war material and within the last month three or four firms have tendered bids for the construction of cruisers and a similar number for the provision of steel projectiles. More- over, there is now nearly completed at Wnshington an ordnance factory for finishing heavy naval ordnance and all the necessary plant for handling gun forgings up to the quality required to make the very largest guus afloat., Nearly half a million sterling has been expended, or isit course of expenditure on this factory alone, Of developments which we man call by comparison minor, there is the opening of anew dock, 460x79x274, at Mave Island, Sanfrancisco, and another at Newport, Pa., within the last fort- night, which is 600x93x25. The Ameri- caus have quite evidently realized that they ave obliged to spend money on a navy the disbursements may as well be for their own benefit as not. It will be seen that the United States arein earnest in the intention of ro- suming their position as a naval power. It is however, somewhat sig~ nificant that at present all this con- struction seems to tend in the direc- tion of vessels move fitted to run awav from an antagonist of real weight than to sustain the glorious traditions of the American sea service, With ono or two exceptions these ships are better prepared to destroy commerce than to protect it. There is no sign of a fleet litted to cope with European armor- clads if they cross the Atlantic as they have done before. After all, though, it is better to crawl before trylni to run, and we may yet see designed, laid down aud built by eative talentin a United States navy yard that cruxof vaval constructions, ihe ‘battleship of the tuture,’ THE SOUTH OMAHA BUDGET A Young Lad's Performance in a Ohurch.

After a very solemn and appropriate address by the pastor, the ofcers passed the bread and wine. A young 1ad, the son of pious parents who partook of the bread, called out in clear, distinct tones : “I want some, too,"” This chagrined the nions parent and at the same time attracted the eye of the worldly part of the audience. The mother endevored to quiet her son, when the littie fellow spoke out: “1 want some bread, too. any broad for breakfast. The efforts of tho mother quietod the boy till the wino was passed and when the mother was partaking the httlo feliow again said, 1 want some, 100,” 8o as to be heard by all present.

On awaken- ing him he lenrned that his name was Charles I'ulton and his home in Ten- nessee; that he had been teaching school in that state, but on account of ill health he had lost his position, and that he had started to this state to find some employment, but failing in all, he had given up to die. The last meal he says he had was on August 6, and sinco that time he has been living on nuts and berries. When found he was in a helpless condition and begged to die. S. D. Heitt, farmer, living near the place, saw the man about a month ago and he said he was *‘too proud to beg and too honorable to steal and was go- ing to starve to death.” I'ulton is thir- ty-three years old and seems a refined gentleman. He was sent to the poor- house. el An Extended Fopularity.
