D NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFS | Three Big Guns Attract Hundreds of Pecple to the Railroad Yards, UNCLE SAM'S MONSTROUS PEACEMAKERS Arrival of Part of the Monterey's Arma- ment on its Way to the Pacific Const ~Pranks of n Bad Boy at Church Festival, Three cannon, weighing in all about 215,000 vounds, passed throvgh Council Bluffs yesterday on their way from Altoona, Pa. where they were manufactured, to San Fran- eisco, Cal,, where they will enter uoon their now daties of protacting Uncle Sam’s west- ern ‘boundary from any and all comers. They came in over the Burlington road and ware transferrad to the Union Pacific during tho duy, leaving for their destination in the evening. The lurzest of the three is one of the most terrific firearms that has ever been turned out of the factory. It is forty feet long and weighs a little over 100,000 pounds, It is forty-five inches across the breech and will carry a shot a foot in diameter thirty miles, it is smd. The barrel would serve as hiding place for several militiamen who might be overtaken by the enemy before they had a chance to got away, and when in actual use tbe cannon would be ablo to mow down qnite n swathe of meu before its force would te spent. This gun is intended to bo used on the const. The two “little” ones weigh 000 pounds each aud are about two-thirds the eizo of their larger companion. They look rather insignificant beside the big one, but they, in turn, would throw 1:to a deep shadow tho ordinary cannon that awakens the people on the Fourth of July. They are to be two of the six cannon that aro to be mounted on the new United States warship ‘‘Monterey.” Tho three cannon were visited by quitea number of peoplo yesterday afternoon as they rested in the freight yards atthe trans- fer, cach in its special car. ——— The New Chemical. The new chemical engine arrived yester- any morning from Chicago and was escorted to the North Main street engine house, where it will bo kept in the place now occu- pied by the Rescue steamer. It ie a beauty, and the fire boys get as much pleasure out of polishing the shining brass as a father hunt- ing for the teeth of bis first vorn, 1t hasa great many advantagos over many of the other chemical engines in use over the coun- try, one of the main ones being the fact that it'does its own “agitating,’ after the cylin- der containing the chemical is reversed, and the machine from that time on becomes wuto- matic. With it comes 200 feet of one inch hose, which is so light that only one man will be required as a rule to manage it. The Rescue steamer Lus been sold to Kansas City. Chief Nicholson has decided to make the trial of the new engine a public one, as quite A number of the citizans have expressed & desire to see it in operation, The trial will tuke place this morning at 10 o'clock on North Sixth street. A bonfire will be built in the street and the engine will be given & chunce to show bow well it understands the art of dousing the glim. Hot Sight on Brondway.

A little episode took place Thursday night &t a church socul in the southern part of the city that threw a damper on the enjoyment of a part of those in attendauce, but added greatly to the pleasure of the evening for those who were not dircctly ioterested. It ‘was during tho serving of the refreshments, when the pastor of the church undertook to sit dowa n a chair in front of three or four small bovs who had veen muking merry at other peoplc's expense all through the even- ing. Just at that moment the proclivity of one of the boys for practical jokes got the better of bis judgment, and he pulled the chair {from beneath the reverend gentleman. The latter had a cup of coffee in his hand when the crisis arrived, but when 1t was over he had managed to save about half of it. He roso from the floor, carefully preserving the rest of the coffeo for future refereuce, ana, after sizing up the young reprobate, lot the contorts fly in his face. Tho pastor left the social in disgust, the small boy was taken sulveling to a closet in one end of the church and the audienco was left to enjoy the little alversion without restraiut. ——— Those who fail to attend the organ recital next Tuesday evening in Broad- wuy church will miss the musical event of the senson.

CONDITION OF THE CITY'S FINANCES Comptroller Olsen Submits n Statement to the the Different Funds—Eleventh Street Vinduct Re- pairs Discnssed—Other u: ounell— Money 1n Last Tuesday night when the council ad- journed tbe members repaired to their re- spective homes, beinge fully convinced that the time was not far distant when they would stand upon Wilton carpet in the cou cil chamber. They wall, however, do nothing of the kind, for the Wilton, which was ordered at a price of §630, has gono glimmwer- g, When the council convened last night, Mr. Specht was about the first man who catight the eye of Mr. Chaffee, who held the position of president pro tem. He atonce moved to reconsider the action of the council in urdering Wilton, He said that he did not think it was the proper thing to make a par- lor out of the council chamber, The council, he thought, could purchase a good five-ply Brussels and save the city just §346, and that the carpet would last five years, There was somo talk, and whon the vote was recorded it stood 8 to 5 in favor of re- considering. That settled it, and then Mr. Munro moved that the comptroller be in- structed to enter into w contract with the towest biduer on Brussels. Mr. 'luttle moved to amend by substitut- ing matting. That did not suit, 50 tho whole mutier was referred to the committee on public property and buildings. Comptroller Olsen’s Roport. Comptroller Olson submitted tho following report upon the condition of city finances: 2Ty CoMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, OMAIA, Sept, 2.—To the Honorable City Council: Gentle- men-—Tne charter demands that I shouid, from time to time, communicate with your bonorable body in regard to the condition of the firance of the city, and I shail state to you the condition of tho various funds as they appear to me after seven months of this year have passed by. The fire fund, potice fund and library fuad are all in very good condition, if no extra heavy expenses oceur for the remainder of the vear. The city entered into u contract for the cloaning of the streats, aud if the contract Is carried out there will ba a shortage in the curb, gutter and cleaning fund of about 1,600, even if no other expeunditures are charged to this fund. “The sewer maintaining fund has been drained heavily through unavoidable ex- penditures, ana there will be shortage in this fund no matter how carefully it is con- ducted., “I'he park fund proper 1s in & most excel- lent coudition, only a littie over §),000 having been expended so far outof a fund of over $45,000. In the park fund for the purchase of park lands 1s stll & balance of about 177,000, ¥ “Phe judgmont fund has been heavily draned; out of a fund of over $35,000 there 15 only loft $5,000. *1fthe water rent for the last haif of the vear is not groatly increused there will be Somo £10,000 or 812,000 left. *“'In the paving bond fund remaius £,511.75 after what I nave certified to for inter: tions. And in the sewer bond fund remains §13,400.06 afrer what I have certified to. n the city hail fund will be left fully $20,000 after all coatracts entere¢ into are provided forand such various things pro- vided as I think necessurily must be done, such as architect fees remawning unpaid of about £7,000, it _his bills are allowed, about £500 for globes for clectric lights ia city ball, avout $3,000 for changing the entrance, car- pets about £5,000, blinds §00, gates §500, and say ubout 82,000 for little extras. The dog fund is in a most excllent condi- tion and at the eud of the year there ought to e from $1,500 to $2,000 left. “The Board of Health fund was atthe beginning of the year $3,208.57 and there is remaining to date only $2.150.08. You will see it will necessarily run stor “In the lighting fund there was at the beginning of the year about 46,000, now only remaining about $15,- 000, and even if the expenses of this fund are Dot increased, which they are, it would leave ashortage of about €000 at the rate we have been paying heretofore. Condition of the Sub-Funds. **Now as to the various sub-funds of the general fund, the miyor's department will have money loft, as no clerk was en- gaged unul last mouth, The city council will be apt to run short a few hundred dollars of the fund set aside for its expenses, even with the most careful management, The fund set aside for the comptroller’s departaient will bold out, us & clerls hus been dispensed with since April, and will be done as long as it possibly can be. With very carcful wunavement the fund of the treasurer’s department will hold out with the present allotted furce, either by ordinance or cesolution. T'he ci lerk's de- purtment will necessarily run short about $00, caused Ly the stenographor being charged to tnis department this year, whereas previously it was charged to a special stenographing departmeut. The legul department wili keep wiihin tha fund set aside for It, and very likely have a swall balance at the end of the year. here remains in the engineer and sower department fund $12.156 31, and according to the estimate of the city engineer it will cost about $15,000 to run tne remainder of the yoar, leaviug & shortage of about &,000, This not including the reconstruction of the Leavenworth street sower, which will be about §00, that should be taken out of the alreaay heuvily drained sewer maintaining fund, ne Board of Public Works department may, by cureful minagomeat, manage to get aloug with the appropriation set aside for it and the sidewalk inspector. **As for the street comuwissioner's depart- ment, for which there was set aside alto- getber §25,000, tbere rewmains in the fund $4,- 209,69, and 1% is evident that it will have to cut its force very materially if this small amount must carry it through the present ear. z “In the fund of the suparintendent of building and plumbing there1s only $1,200.86, and the superintendent estimates the ex- enditures for the remaining live wonths at Kacm. This would leave & shortage of about §1,800, but I thiuk by cutting down the force in'both departments this might be avoided. As a matter of fact, for the first seven months of 1591 there were 831 building per- mits given, with fees amounting to $1,920.50, and in 1802 for the same time there were sued only 510 pormits, with fees of only $1,743, and the salavies paid = for inspection in 1501 for this time were $3,046.15, and in 1892 for the same Lime were $3,750.02, thus show- ing an expenditure in sularies for the fivst seven months of 1802, in excess of 1801, of $704.47, notwithstanding that a less amount of permits were issued und less fees were re- ceived; bowever, I shall romark that during this timo ihe city bas suved the salary of an assistant architect for the eity ball, which work lias been performed by the superin- tendent of buildings. Waere u Suving Was Made. “Of course, in the plumbing department thers hus been @ saving in sularies on account of wne two offices beiwng cousolidated, *Tue police court fund, voiler inspector's fond, license iuspeclor's fund, veterinary fund, appraisers’ fund, sergeant-at-arms’ fuud, bospital fund and feeding prisouera’ fund are ull in Koou shape, “Iu the gas luspector's fund will be left $200, and if this ofiicial is ullowed 825 wouth for horse hire, without which it is impossibie for bim to properly do bis duty, there will still be woney left 1o the fund, “In the advertiaing fund, rent account fund, compiling tax lisi fund, superintendent of city null fund, there will be money left ut the end of the yoar If 10 exiru €xpense oc- curs to drain these funds, “In the fund for election expenses there | ouly rewains §5,028.50, and the ciwy clerk computes the expenses for the fall clection 8t $156.000; this would leave & shortage of over 811,000, but he, however, in his comput ation tixures 80 for euch registrar at cach sitting, ‘lu the bulance of the general fuud there is left out of over $76,000 ouly 2,000, and out of this smount we have to con:lder to be OMAHA DAILY BEE: the very least £5,000 ufl shottage in the various sub-funds may be made up from what will be left over from some of the others; but thers certainly will be a shortage amounting to & good many thousands of aol ars in the election fung, ¥ib matter how we figure to pay the Yeglef¥ars, And if tho Eloventh sireot viaduct mast be repairved this year there will be amother expenditure of probably 15,000, “1 have also to date certified to grading con tracts, of which the city's share amounts 10 85,806,04, and the_city's share for new election booths will ba §3,11850. It would help this fund, of course, if,we could collect the long overdue road fund tax coming to the city from Douglas county, and wo have also coming from the Nebraska Central railway for election expenses in the neighborhood of £3.000, which should be coileoted. Taking it as a whole, 1 hope we can pull through with- out making an overlap, but the city will huve to be very guarded ana careful in_all expen- ditures to do so and be able to collect what h;‘comlvu' to us, otherwise we must run short.’ Eloventh Street Viaduct Repairs. The committee on viaducts and railways submitted a report approving the action of City Engineer Rosewater in closing the Eleventh stroet visauct. The report urged spoedy action in repairing the structure and recommended the adoption of the engineer’s report, in which he favored the repaving of the floor with creosoted wood. Mr. Lowry thought that temporary ar- rangements could be made by which the bridge could be keot open. The matter was roforred to the conmittes on finance and the comptroller to see if funds could nov be located, which coutd be used in repuiring the viaduct. The city engineer and the city attorney wero instructed to report an ordinance look- ing into the ovening and widening of Fif- teenth street from Valley street to the north line of Park Forest. Mavor Bemis named Joseph Bailey as as- sistant boiler tnspector for the American Casualty Insurance company. The appoint- ment was confirmed and his bond 10 the sum of $3,000 was referred. RGeorge W. Ames and T, A. Creigh, having resignod as appraisers to assess damages arising from the proposed construction of the Fifteenth street viaduer, H. G. Clark and George J. Pau! were appointed to fill the vacancies, The ordinance ordering the grading of Touty-fifth avenue, from leavenworth street to the north line of Eliis place, the city to pay the onehalf cost, came up for passage, Mr. Monroe raised the point that there Was 1o money in the gradicg fund to pay the expense until such time as the county turned over the city’s share of the road fund, The ordinance then went back into the hanas of the comuwittee, to be held until the roaa fund question was settled. The ordinunce ordering the change of grade of St. Mary’s avenue, from Twenty- fifth to Twenty-sixth street, at a costof $6,500, was recommitted to the finance com- mwittee and the Fourth ward delegation. By resolution the city offices were ordered closed all day next Wednesday in order to allow the officials and employes to attend the State fair. ceon SOUTH OmAHA. Business Which Engaged the Attention of the Board of Education. Members Bulla and Jones were absent from the Board of Education meeting last night. 4 The committee on supplies reported that they had done nothing as yet, although several chairs, clocks and other articles are needed for the schouls before thoy open Tuesdav. President Check thought the committee work of the board was very poorly attended and there was altogether too much dilly-dally. Pearl of the committee was in- structed to purchase the necessary supplies. The members of the board resoived them- selves into a roasting committee, and C. M. Hunt received the benefit of the major por- tion of the deliberations, Mr. Hunt has leased tne bsard a building at Twenty-fourth and H streets for school purposes, and prom- ised to repair the bullding and grounds. A few repairs have been mane, but the general arrangoment and condition of the premises are anything but satisfactory. Janiior Me- Auley was instructed to seé Mr. Hunt and request him to make a few needed improve- ments, The coal question came dp and was dis- cussed at lengtn, The dealers will be fn- vited to offer bids for furnishng coal for the schools for the year, aud all coal purchased wili bereafter ‘be \eighed upon the city scales. ‘The estimate of the amount of coul needed is about five tons per week for the High school, 2,500 pounds each for the Brown Park and Fourth ward schools, and- four tons for the Third ward. The Aibright, Missouri avenue and H street schools are heated with hard coal and no estimate was made, Hereafter all adjourned meetings of the board will be held Monday avenings.

I'here have been smployed about fifteen masons upon the foundation for the new addition Lo the slaughter house, but as that is nearly completed the reducing of the force was a necessity, and there has been no dispute, whatever, raised in regard to wages, ‘T'ho statement that the yards are closely guarded by officers and no one 1s allowed to approach s deuied by Chief Garrett of the Swift police force, who says no guard is placed there and no one is molested, unless he be a loafer, who has no business there.
