An engine on tho Rock Islund road met with a s erious mishap Thursday while pass- ing wlong Indian crcek near the intersection of Fourteenth avenue. The company has been putting in a new bridge ut that point and the trial trip resulted disastrously, the engine being precipitated irom the track to the bed of thie creck, a distanco of several feet. Gortunately no one was injured, but the pilot of the engino was completely de- molished and it was otherwise badly broken up. A horse suffering with blind staggers yesterday afternoon caused something of a commotion on Pearl street. When he reached the sidewalk in front of W. W. Chapman’s store he refused to go further and mounted the sidewalk. His master wound the halter strap around a telephone pole to keep him under control, whilo Peter C. Miler put o step ladder behind the horse to prevent him from going through his window. He at length backed through Chapman’s’ window und gave u gluzier a job. ‘Tho roceivership case of Sayers against Sayers was on trial the greater part of the day yesterday in the superior court.

Humbert, yesterday An Electric Wonder, ‘When Benjamin Franklin caught cold by flying his kiteduring a thundor storm on Sunday, hittle did he imagine the pos- sibilities to which would be put the sub- tle electric fluid he succeeded in con- ducting to the earth. Even to this day when so much practical use is made of it, many of its possibilities are only dreamed of. To most people electricity is still a large interrogation point. We know it drives machinery—but how? Those who would like to witness the fact and study the how are invited to call at the progressive BEE job printing office of Pryor Bros. at 12 Pearl street and see the first electric motor for driving machinery that has been sot up in theci The presses and ma- chinery in this office are now all driven by an clectric motor, the power being furnisbed by the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company. When, several years ago, Pryor’s BER job office put in the first water motor in the city, considerable surprise was e pressed that sosmall a piece of mechan- ism should be able to develon so much power, but the electric motor causes still more astonishment.

Colonel Dailoy, Hamiiton’s attorney, raised an ob- jection to the information upon which his client had been held, claiming that the charge preferred -was not sufficiently spe- cific. A day was allowed the prosecution to remedy this defect, and the case will come up again this morning. His Suflerings Ended, Willie Deav, the #-year-old boy who was loft alone in the house last Saturday night and hada uarrow oscape from death by ssphyxiation, died yesterday noon, As stated 1u yesterday's BEE, ever since his narrow escape ho has been suffering severaly from the effects. A few days ago bis sick- ness took the form of puneumonia, and since it set in his sufferings bave been terrikle, The funeral will occur Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence, 611 East Plerce street. —— Sroke & Lamb, A daughter of George Hoffman, & railroad man who lives at tbe corner of High street and Sixteeuth aveuue, met with u serious accident yesterasy afteruoon, She stumbled aud fell while skating and broke ner ankle, She was picked up and carried to her home, where & pbysician attended ber. It was & BEI very bad fracture, and will keep her confined to her bed for some time, Trogress in Dentlstry. In this age of phenomenal progress there is perhaps no art or science that has made such signal advancement as dentisury and dental surgery. Greater progress has been maae in the past few years than in perhaps all the remainder of the century, and now the care and preservation of the teeth and the means of repairing the ravages of time and correcting the mistakes of natuce have reached a degree of perfection that ap- parently leaves little room for future de- velopment. ‘“‘Among the greatest tri- umphs of modern dental surgery,” said Dr. H. A. Woodbury yestoraay, the senior member of Woodbury Bros.. the prominent dental firm at Council Bluffs, ‘‘is the Crown and Bridge work as wo do it today. It has made great strides even during the past year. It is the most artistic and substantial kind of dental work. Of course there is no plate and when properly donenobody, and scarcely the person wearing it, can detect its presence in the mouth, and many people who are complimented upon their splendid looking teeth, whom you know in this city, only had three or four ugly looking snags a few years ago. Hore are a number of casts taken from mouths upon which we are now work- ing, This has four snags, like broken posts sticking up, and here is another with but three, and here are casts taken from the same mouths after the work was completed. They show perfect sets of teeth, which will last their owners as long as they have occasion to uso teeth, and will give them as good every day service as their natural teeth. Bridge work is all right when it 18 properly done and all wrong when not. While it is a little more expensive to start with, it is cheapor in the long run. How long Well, that cunnot be defi- 1t may be of in- will it last? nitely unswered yet. terest to know that the first caso in Towa W vut in in this office when the process was first introduced, That work is still intact, and is giving the best of satisfaction. The improve- ments since then makoe the work now performed much superior, and it is safe to estimate its durability for a long periad. We imake this work one of our leading specialties. Of course we are thoroughly equipped for doing all other kinds of work and are abreastof the times in all respects.” A glance around the palatial rooms, each department separate for its dis- tinet work, was sufficient evidence that the ascertion was too modestly made, —————— | ON THE BAX OF THE 801 (e 3] Mrs, General Crook’s Tour From Gay Paris titul Genon, [Special Correspondence ]—Comparisons may be odious, yet one naturally compares foreign coun- tries to what one sees in one's native land. Picture the river Platte, with villages and churches—one storied, high red roofed houses, mills and vineyards (for the road from Paris to Avignon runs through the vine producing country of France), and you will have the Saone. It bas no precipitato bauks, but the water runs close, almost even with the shore. ~ We loft the Saone at Lyons, and the railroad runs along the shore of the Rhone to Avignon, then turning di- rectly south through a tunnel four miles long, to find ourselves near Marseilles in a semi-tropical climate. From Marseilles to Nice, the railroad, which is a wonderful piece of eongineering, passes through rocky defiles and tunnels, giving now and then tantalizing views of the blue Mediterranean on the right, and hills towering high up on the ‘left, passing through orchards of old olive trees, picturesque little villages built on a promon= | tory, jutting into the sea, or dotting the high hilis, always with a church, and often as we ride along we hear the chime of the bells floating over the sea, and ofttimes we run so close to the sea that we hear the roar of the waves as they break against theé shore, abovo the clatter of the cars. About noon we reach ‘Loulon, situated at the foot of high hills, and surrounaed by a bay that almost encloses it and makes it an island. Toulon is a port of the first class and con- tains nothing of interest but the arsenal aud ancient prison. The latter could not interest me. 1went once in my life toa prison with Mary Anderson. I did not have a good sleep for months. Very soon after- ‘wards Mary had a brain fever and has never returnea to the stage. Was she, too, huunt~ ed by the pale, hnggurd, Lopeless ' looking faces that we saw, and which seemed to say, “'All who enter here leave hope behina !” From Toulon to Cannes the road runs close to the sea and we pass through a succession of watering places, win- ter resorts for the delicate and the pleasure hunter. There aro many places ‘worth one’s while to see. San Rafael, noted for its quarries of blue porphery and as the lace Napoleon landed on his return from Elba. The most interesting excursion from Cannes 1s to tue island Saint Marguerite, where the ““Man of the Iron Musk’ spent twelve years of miserabie existence, and later the ex-Morshal Bazaine was impris- oned—the island of St. Honore—now the ahode of the monks of St, Bernard and un in- teresting old monastery. Grasse, the place ‘whoere (iueen Victoria stops when on the Riviera, s only half San bour's drive, and is said to be very lovely. We did Lot go to see, but hurried on to Nice, where we expected 10 find eternal summer, but like many of our expectations, were doomed to disappoint- ment. It rained one solid Weel, but as every- thing must have an end, tho rain finally ceased and we saw Nice in'all its beauty. If Nice is, as they say, the_representative place where the wealth and aristocracy of the old world assemble to enjoy their ‘‘dolce far niente,” we must wonder why the wealthy people of our country should come here when they can find so much better a climate, either on the Atlantic or Pacific coast. There are many charming climes around Nice, but no historical monuments or old churches. From the chatou one has as fino a panorama spread before them as any in the world,comprising the blue Mediterranean, the Norttiorn Alps, the city of Nice, built in a semicirclo around; the Baie des Anges, jts white villas, marble or stucco, shining through the orange groves and feuces of roses, On the hill of the chatou Gambetta is buried, but as yet there 18 no stone to mark thespot. I know he is buried there becauso Mr, Julius Sussman, & gentleman whom readers of Tue BEE may know, for he has lived 1n Omaha (happy man), told me he was at the funeral ana saw him interred, Paris has been kinder toGambetta, for ove of the finest colossul statues we have ever seen, is the one of him on the Place Carousal in Paris. However, that was erected b, b- scriptions of people all over France. 'here also a fine statue of Garibaldi. Nice is the birtbplace of Garibaldi and Massena, Wwho has a stieet and plaza named after him. Besides the railroad along the Riviera and two others, the upper and lower Corniche roads, or if one llkes the sea there are steamers plying from Marseilles to Cevitta Vecchia, ‘The lower Corniche, from Nice to Mentone, runs close to the sea, aud through vewitching and fascinating little watering places, that one 1s constantly tempted to stop and explore, but the upper Corniche, the road Napoleon 1. built, is the most beau - tiful drive in the world. Bulltalong the maritime Alps, almost on the summit, ana passing through Medieval towns, like Eze or La Turbie.

Woe left Moo Carlo with regret, because it was the only'place where wo had found warm weather. When we reached Vintimiglia, the frontier of France, where wo crossed into Italy, we were detained two hours for the inspection of baggage. Time is no object to an Italian, oad of people may wait for an official to smoke a cigar. Here, for the firat time, I learned that honesty was not the bost volicy. Tea, tobacco and spirits are the three things an Italian sewzes upon with delight. Knowing we were coming to a country where new wines were the nationai beverage, and they affected a stranger very much as green apbles do a school boy, we had purchased a bottle of rye whiskey in Nice to have in case of sick- neés, We foolishly declared it, and the commotion it produced was something alarm- ing. Theydid not know iwhat it was, the cork hiad not been drawn, and they soon haa half the male population of Vintimiglia Jabbering around us like so many blackbirds in a buckwheat field. They fuoaily carried I off 1o see some ofticial, leaving mo alone, and it was 80 long before she returned I felt con- vinced they had shut her up in one of their gloomy forts, but justin time to board the train she returned, saying if we would pay 187 francs, about $7, we might have tho bot- tle. As wo had paid less for it in Nice than we would have to at home wo were sure it was very bad whisky, so we presented it to tho Italian government, devoutly hoping it would be drank by somo ofticial, who would be poisoned 1ustead of us. As soon as wo left Ventimiglia, wo recog nized we were in Italy. The architecture tho people, tho roads, the trees, shrubs, all seemed to tell of this land of romancoe and mystery.

The door opened at last and he stood befor her, unscathed, a flush on his cheeks and an oxprossion in his eye. “Did you see papn, Richgpd?” sho asked with trembling engerness. He held her in his arms for a moment with- out speaking. ‘*Yes, doarest,” he said at length. ‘‘And what did he sa Richard? Tell me what he said? He refused you? Oh, your eyes tell me! Ho refused you; he will not give me to you? But [ will be—I am yours—I do not fear his harsh- ness—we will fly"—— But Richard looked down into her pleading face and shook his head slowly, like a man in a dream, ““Tell me, then, for Was he brutal and cruel to y did he do? What did he say Richard Nobeard drew a long, deep breath and again looked downut the face turned up to meet his troubled glance, He sighed and whispered slowly:— “He only said, went on reading PLAC A BOYCOTT.

He’s a bad man, and I’m a doin’ all I kin to kill his trade.” wait! What I cannot n? ‘Thank Heaven to buy meat.” y ¥ FREED DE MULE. The Wasp: An old darkey, seeing for the first time an electric car pass, lost in wonderment, turns to a white bystander and says: “Fo’ de Lawd’s sake, boss, what make dat ar car go dat way?” ““‘Why, Sam, don’t you know? That's the electric car line—goes by electri- city.” **Oh, goes by electricity, does she? An’ who got dat ar up?”’ “That was invented by a dashed Yan- kee up north, Sam.” “‘Now, you doan’ tell me, boss! Gawd bress de Yankees! Dat’s, what 1 says. Fust dey frees de niggah, and now dey’s freed de mule.” II WAS AN ACCIDENT. Detroit Free Press: ‘‘I understand,” remarked the polite reporter to the close mouthed manager of a west— ern railrond noted for its poor time, *‘that there was an accident on your road last night.” “Oh, do you?” reply. “Yes, sir.” “Do you know anything about it?” “Only that it happened to the train which was due here at 8:15.” “That train came in promptly on time, sir,” said the manager firmly, “*Are you sure of that?” “Of course I am.”” “Thanks. That must have been the accident referred to,” and the roporter dodged out safely. EQUAL TO ANYTHING, Two men at the stockyards, says the Chicago Tribune, got into a heated dis- cussion the other day over the law of supply and demand, and one of them said: ““There isn’t any use in arguing with aman who doesn’t understand the ele- mentary principles. You don’t even know what a syllogism is.” “T’ll bet $50,” replied the other, pur- plewith rag2, *‘that our packing house turns out more cansof ’em in one day than the one you're working in does in a month,” was the sarcastic CANNIBIALISM, National Tribune: Mr. Chump—My dear, you remember the missionary, the Rev. Mr. Lanks, who went to China? ‘Well, this paper says that the natives of the DI'OV‘HEO in which he was labor- ing became enraged at him, and would not be satisfied till the officials had cut off the reverened gentleman’s sacerdotal functions. Mrs. Chump—Horrible! Did it kill him? INEXHAUSTIBLE HOSPITALITY, Atlanta Constitution: Editor—I haye wvited the members of the press asso- ciation to dine with me today. ‘Wife—What on earth have we got to set before them? Editor—Don’t bother about that. The first course will be green collards; the second, well water; and wo might have some good fresh air for desert. Will you ask a blessing? HE WANTED MILK PUNCII, d Mother—Now, my dear Francois, just Yrink up this eamomile tea nicely, and ou will soon be better. Little Francois—Camomile tea! T thought I was going to have milk punch! Mother—No, darling, camomile tea is the best thing you can take. Francols (jumping out of bed in a temper)—Then, mamma, you can wait a long while before I have a sore throat again, I can tell you. SOUR GRAPES, New York Herald, She spurnod me and I lightty laughed, ““Your're not so wondrous fair: The world has many kindor hearts ‘That I would rather share.” ‘We met again —again I loved, (I almost weep to write) : ‘We married, and alas! 1 found My first opinion right. IN TIE SAME BOX, Texas Siftings: **You have been in the army a great many years, but I have never heard of you capturing anything,” said an old coquette to a somewhat ven- erable officer. You ought to have a,_fellow feeling for me,” was the reply. **How so?” **Because wo both know what it is to grow old without muking any con- quests.” TRUE POLITENESS.

Heretofore the moctings have boen held at Eighteenth and Vinton streets, but in order to got a general exprossion from those who were unable to attend those meetings, the Dplace was changed. Hon. James C. Brennan was made chair- man, while John Tidemann acted in the capacity of secretary. Hascall opened t he debate by stat ng that Syndicate park was the only piece of ground desirable for the park commissioners to sefet. He was followed by James Dona van who, 1n his talk, said he came to the meeting to hear some opposition to Syndicate park. 1f no ono coula mako an objection o did not believe there was room for dis- nt the moncy voted for parks” soid Hou, George I3, Bertrand, “spent whero it will do the most good, and for a k that will be convenient. 1’ beliove the park com- missioners will locate the park where you want it. The Clarke tract is not accessible, and that is why I am opposed to that piece of ground for a park. The best proposition that has been made is the one for Syndicate |!l)lrk. 1515 accessible and will suit thefjpeo- ple.”” Gilbert M. Hitclicock was next called for, and when going upon the platform said that be was somewhat disanpointed as thero was no argument to be made. Kverybody seemed to favor Syndicate park and _he, too, favored it. He thougat tho south side people could convince the park commission ers that Syndicate park was the ground for them to seleet, o further stated that it was poetical, romantic, beautiful and all that sort of thing and came very noar making the audience believe that he really favored it. Councilman Elsasser opvosed the Clarke tract, and in strong terms said it would cost §1,200 an acre while the syndicate ground could b purchased for £500 an acre. John Butler was the ouly man who did not favor the syndicate park. He apposed both it and the Clarke tract. He didn't think either piece of ground was fitted for purposes. In fact ho was opposeda to overy thing. Ho was sorry that tho bonds had been voted, but if any land was to bo purchased hie thought 1t should be gotten from Tom Murray on South Thirteenth street. This ground, as he referred toir, was adapted 1o park purposes, andif Mr. Murray would not disposo of 1t reascnable he was of the opinlon that the city charter should be 8o changed as to condemn 1t. Councilman John Steele, in giving his views of the question, thought there was no hasto necessary and eventually Syndicate park would be dedicated to the city. Contractor Stuht was of a similar opinion, and said that Syndicate would have becn dedicated 1f there had been no talk of buying it. He was more in favor of Hasca!l's park, as he thought it was moro accessible. There was much wrangling and debate when the following resoiutions were offered by Mr. Donova Resolved, That we have full confidence in our Board of Park commissioners and cxpect that they, in sclecting . site for the south side park, will, while zuurding the interosts of th oity ut Tare. tako into. due. consido tlon the wishes of the people most directly terested In the mutter, as expressed at this B hat we ureopposed to the Clarke tract and 1o any other tract to which there is 10 access or which will require un expensive oprning and grading of streets to be made ac- cessiblo Resolved, That the Hascall truct on Vinton street. between Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets, will be agroeable to us. Resolved, Thatthe Syndicate park 1sour cholee, and that mn our opinlon the park com- missioners ought to tuke the Syndicate purk out of private hands, and_starting in_on tho foundation already laid, malke it the best and finest purk in the city. Resotved, That no purk at all is botter than a_park too far wwuy from the homos of the people for whose benefit It is intended. Resoived, Thatno part of the money In- tended und voted for a south sido park can be expended in any other part of the city. ‘I'he resolution was referred to the execu- tive committee, which will make a report with its recommendation at the noxt meot- ing, which may possibly be held IFriday night next at Metz's hall, e LA Granted Them a Week, ‘Wasni 0N, Feb. 19.—An agreement was reached among the democratic members of the ways and means committee that tho mi- nority should have until a week from tomor- TOW to prepare their reports against the frec wool, binding twine and bagging measures heretofore ordered favorably reported to the housie by a party vote, Chairman Springer announces that he in- tends to call upone of the three bills on Monday or Tuesday following the submis: mission of the report to the house. o -—— Nominated by tho sent to the senate the following Nicholus R, Kuntz to bo register of the 1znd oftice at Des Moines, Ia, Mojor John W.
