Gloomy Prediction Eegard-
ing.Miesouri Bridges.
The sun has already made himself
felt on the ice hereabouts , not BO
much , as yet , on the rircr ice as In
the streets , -which are contributing
their rivulets to swell the tide in * he
grand receiver. By the time the
snow and ice in the city returns to ita
riginat liquid form , the contribution
to the Missouri from these sources
will not be insignificant ,
A ttrall along chore to-day gave bat
little proof of the great swell farther
up stream. Tbe ire lining the shore
is rapidly breaking up and quite a
stream rushes by , tossing great cakes
of ice on its surface , like shavings on
a brook. This ice is principally what
has been for weeks heaved up abont
air boles and is by no means of the
great thickness of that amid stream.
The latter may be seen from the shore
forming a wall of Ice on the other side
of the , as yet , narrow open stream.
This stream stops about opposite the
ferryboat "Undine , " which has been
ice bound all winter , six hundred feet
or * so north of the bridge.
THE " 0NDINE. "
The Undine was yesterday firmly
secured by means of large anchors
Imbedded near the railroad track , to
which three inch Jiawsers reached
'
from the Undine. 'Conversing with
an old river hand in charge of the
boat , on the prospective break up in
the river , he said :
"Ihardly _ think we'll have the gen-
eralb'reak up for a week yet , though
it the weather continues like to-day it
may come within the next three
or four days. The ice in the river is
thicker than ever before , and it will
take B good little spell of heat to
weaken it. The rise altogether so far
cin't amount to more thiiu five feet ,
but what it will be , of course , is a
matter of more speculation. That the
river will rise higher than it has in
many yean there is no donbt , and we
have got to look out for some damage
by'the flood. "
THE SMELTING WORKS.
The ( rail in front of the smelting
works is yet ten or twelve feet above
the surface of the river , and there is
little fear expressed abont the works
in respect to the fbod. The govern
ment rip-rap , however , is thought to
bo entirely inadequate for the coming
emargancy.
A GLOOMY PKEDICTION.
Boss Stout , who is in Omaha , and
who is a practical bridge builder ,
makes tbe gloomy prediction that
with the presoatistate of the river the
bridges at several points along the
Missouri must go out. " - .

The cloud which has hang over the
later facts in the Stratton-Duko elope
ment has been removed at laat by. the
-receipt of Raman City papers with
later facU in the affair. The Evening
Star of Tuebday has the following :
"The elopement of Charlie Duke
with his school teacher , Miaa Ella
Stratton , or rather the elopement of
Miss Stratton with Dake , which Is just
at present turning Omaha society
upside-down , has become of local im
portance inasmuch as the co-jplo
stopped here in their fl.'ght , and in
addition to this Miss Stratton once
moved and had her being here.
THE l/LOMNd COUPLE
arrived at the Tremont house Thurs
day last about eight o'clock in the
evening and departed for Omaha the
next morning on the 9:42 train. Miss
Stratton is well known in Kansas City ,
Having been an assistant in the Morse
school. She lived here some two
years ago and boarded in the May
street house , and later on Sixth street
while Capt. Hazley was manager.
Miss Stratton came here from Niles ,
Mich. , and while here held a good
position in society , though "the boys" '
all agreed that her most prominent
failing was a violent deairn to marry.
"An Evening Star reporter fount" " a
gentleman who know her well and
said he was never so "surprised as when'
he read
THE ACCOUKT OF THE ELOPESIEST.
While here ehe visited him and
sought his advice , bnt he very peremp
torily told her she had committed an
error which neither advice nor council
would euro , and refused to lend his
assistance in any form. The purpose
of the couple was to remain here some
few days , but the cool reception they ,
met ou every hand hastened their return - /

Important Improvements t in
the Nail Works The Oma
ha Foundry.
The Nail Works have just closed a
contract with the Omaha Foundry ahd
Machine company for a large addition
| to their plans. TKs improvement
will enable the Nail company to re-
dnco the cost of production very
materially. The iron castings for
their work are xhe largest ever run by
any establishment in the west , several
pieces weighing over four tons oach.
Heretofore the Nail company have
been compelled to go to Pittsburgh
for these fcastlngs , bat the facilities
of the Omaha Foandry"enabla them
to produce the same work here
at a less cost to the Nail
company. TJia work is under charge
of Mr. A. R. Davies , superintendent
of the Omaha foundry , one of the
most ingenious and skillful mechanical
engineers in the west. The "Omaha
engine" and "Omaha power hoist , "
manufactured by the same company ,
were designed also by Mr. Davies.
This company , In addition to the large
amount of architectural iron wcrk
made by them , are turning out from
eight to ten f their engines and
hoists a month for the mining trade in
Colorado and Montana.
When our citizens can supply them-
aelv.B at a home manufactory with
iron store fronts , steam engine' , hand
and power hoist * , etc. , they should
never send their money to the east.
Nine-tenths of the money paid out by
these Iron works finds its way back to

si Haverly'a Strategists.
Uaverlyra new comedy , company
appeared at tee Academy of Music
Wednesday to a good house in their
new cojtnedy of _ ' The _ Strategists , "
and the least thai can bo said is that
the perforraanco-tork the house by
stcrai. Naturally the comedy is in
itself with very little plot , but-It
abounds in comical situations , and Is
lively and sparkling , without a single
dull liao. Mr. J. B. Polk , who took
tha principal part , is one of the most
pleasing and versatile comedians who
ba e visited Omaha , and of .the re
mainder of the larga company it can
be truthfully eaid ( hat there is not a
poor actor in the crowd. A.stronger
comedy company or better comedy of
Its class have not been seen in Omaha.
The company appears again " thin
