toiervolrs at the plant of the American water
works company at Florence. -
i The city comptroller was ono of a distin
guished party which loft the city on an Im
portant mission. That they performed their
' duty wnll was satisfactorily attested by tno
hearty npplauso that voiced the admiration
of 150 spectators , when the largest pumping
englno in America entered upon Its work of
pumping water for the cities of Omaha , South
Omaha and Florence.
The starting of the ponderous plcco of
mechanism was an event of more than ordi
nary moment , and the offldaU of the water-
Vrorks company bad sent out Invitations to
the oniclais of Douglas county and the city
ofllclnls and prominent citizens of the three
cltlos nnmcd to bo present. The invitations
\\ero Mry ; generally accepted , and the
guosU of the company loft the
Wo bit or street depot at 10:15 : o'clock on a
pccial train over the Chicago , St. Paul ,
Minneapolis & Omaha road. The party was
( n charge of Superintendent A. U. Hunt of
the waterworks company.

At Florence the train pulled out to tbo
company's ' plnnt , nnd the tmrty Inspected the
reservoirs , Prosldent Underwood explaining
the system of settling and aerating the
water. A trip along the rlvor front disclosed
the rlpnipplng that has been done for the
pnrposo of protecting the company's plant.
At the pump house , the center of attraction
was the mammoth now pump and engine that
Tvas to IHJ put to work.
The great pioca of machinery occupies the
vest end of the largo engine room and is a
Beautiful piece of mechanism. Evan as it
flood there lu Its quiescent state , resplendent
tn poI tailed wood , shining steel and glittering
brass , ono Involuntarily shrank back before
tbo enormous power that ho Instinctively
know onlv waited the turning of a wheel to
call Into requisition.
A brief description of tno monster may not
bo uninteresting. It is the work of the Ed
ward P. Allls comnsnv of Mlhvaukoo and was
designed by Messrs. E. and T. H. Reynolds.
It Is what U known as a triple expansion en
gine , combining high , intermediate nnd low
pressure cylinders. Ills an upright machine ,
the cylinders being dlrvctly over the pump.
Q'ho floor measurement Is 18x13 feet , and the
powerful engine rises ilfty foot above the
foundation. It rests Uilrty-llvo feet above
nnd 11 'teen foot oolow the main floor , nnd
Weight 1,100 tons.
It is nominally 1,200 horsepower , running
fts it does for pumping at twenty revolutions
D minute , but If run as marine engines on the
oceau , steamers are run it would bo between
7,000 and 8,000 horsepower. It throws 675
gallons of water at each stroke and Its guar-
pntord capacity is 18,000.000 gallons every
twenty-four hours. It will maintain a water
pressure of 1 % pounds to the square Inch.
There are two balance wheels , twenty feet
Inches In diameter and weighing thirty
61 ch. Eoch of tlo three great pistons
JH'O foot stroko. The high pressure
cylinder Is TbYtr4lcno ! * 'n ' diameter , ana the
teau. > . , „ „ ft jTrywrcssuro ° f 105 pounds.
twcntj'-elght pounds. n , unge
cylinder Is 101 fnphcs In diameter , r
a small house , and pressure Is
pounds. The fatter cylinder works
jioetlon with an air pump which creates a
Vacuum thus facilitating Its operations.
Mr. J. II. Reynolds , ono of the designers
'of the cngliio , was present , and explained the
Workings , ot his wonderful creation. Ho
estimated that It would rcqulro about 3,000
pounds of coal per hour to operate the
engine. Ills company is now building three
similar engines for the Chicago water works ,
two for Denver and ono for Milwaukee.
Choy will have about the same capacity , and
VrUl only bo required to furnish from one-
third tn ono-half the head necessary hero.
Thrcu month * were required to set up the
ongtue , which henceforth will take tno place
of the Holly enclno and pump that has been
heretofore in uso. It cost 8121,800 , exclusive
of the expensive foundation.
Sumo Idea of the crcat castings entering
into the construction of the monster engine
may bo realized when It Is Known that each
of the three bed plates upon which the on-
glno proper rests weighs twonty-tlvo tons.
Ono of them was on a car that was wrecked
whllo in shipment , and the wrecking crow
broke till of their heaviest wrecking taculo In
Btumipting to move It. They were llnally
compelled to jack it up with house Jacks and
handle It tn that way.
After the mechanical wonder had been
carefully Inspected President Underwood
asked for a moment's attention , and nftor
atatlng that tbo engine was contracted for at
the time the pump house was formally
Pinned , a year ago last August , when a simi
lar public demonstration was hold , called
upon Acting Mayor Lowry to assist in startIng -
Ing the monster to pumping water to the
oily.
oily.Tbo noting mayor grasped the wheel with
Mr. Reynolds. A few turns were given ,
the pmidrous wheels .trembled slightly , then
lowly revolved , and without any friction or
trouble , with no Jar , noiselessly and almost
Insensibly the great piece of machinery sot-
ilod down to work.
Cheer succeeded cheer as the great wheels
Btarted , and then In silence the people stood
there lu dumb admiration and gazed to ttoir
heart's content upon tholnigc.it and most
perfect plcco of machinery that most of
thorn had over soon. U was the result of a
year and iv half of incessant labor on the part
of many workmen , and who shall say It was
not worthy of It :
A part of the programme that must by no
means bo Overlooked was the lunch that was
proAd by a corps of waiters on tables in. the
engine room. They were garlanded with
milax and cut flowers , whllo stately ferns
towered above the tempting viands so plenti
fully provided , There was no need of the In
junction to "oat , drink and bo merry,1' for
everybody foil to with n will , and the health
of the waterworks company was drank with
xcccdlmr unanimity , fervency and numeros-
ltr. ] All foil good and some felt bettor , for
-iYbiu Is more- exhilarating than the biggest
pumping engine in America pulling corks out
of chumpagno bottlrs for unthusiastlo
Omahansl If local prldo Is over pardonable
It certainly was on this occasion ; at least
that U what everybody thought.
It was no more than fair for the visitors to
eflcrvetco nllttlo , BO u bench was pushed for
ward and Colonel Chase not down bis glass
nnd told how much bettor Missouri river
water 1s than can bo found In the Missis
sippi. ILo uilvlsed the waterworks company
to got ready for the .100,000 people who will
bo In Omaha In HKX ) , and thU Mr. Under-
wood promised to do.
Major Clarkson contrasted the condition of
attain twenty-llvo yean ago , whoa Omaha
folks didn't even bavo any wells , with the
jHuutluu today that ruudurad the DOW pump
neccjsnry. Ho bollovcd the company deserved -
served great credit and fully as generous
treatment as It ho * accorded the city. He
thought It had oven gene ahead of Its to-
quiromonU.
President Underwood Mated that the conv
pany was preparing for the future , as it
thought It could sco clearly that Omaha Is
bound to bo a second Chicago on the banks
of the Missouri. Ho Inoughttho only way
to do wai to keep ahead of It. Ho sold he
would any nothing about the work * , as they
would snow for themselves , but woulil
merely state that In plant. * of this kind the
creator part of tbo outlay was covered up
beneath the soil.
Judge Lake was rominliocnt , and told ol
the works of the old water company , whlcli
ho contrasted with those In sight at Flor
ence.
ence.W. . J , Klcrstead also talked of early Uavs ,
and told how ho got his itart selling poanuU
while still a subject ot King Humbert.
"Look at that great engine , " said the era
tor.
Everybody looked.
"Look at mo , " continued Mr. Klerstoad.
"Tako hopo. "
And the audlonco took another hearty ono.
Mr. Reynolds was loudly called for , and
finally mounted the improvised rostrum.
Half turning around , ho pointed lovingly at
the great plcco of machinery that had uccn
created by his invcntlvo brain. Not a word
( Hi ho say. but It witi the most eloquent
speech of the afternoon.
Shortly afterward the visitors sought their
train , Judge Lake , Tom Swift , Milton Rogers ,
Captain Marsh and Joe Shool y relating in
cidents meanwhile of their experiences In
Kloronco In Itttti , whllo a building wa
pointed out on which the sign of Milton
Rogers still appears as it did when that gen
tleman had a branch store there ever a third
of a century airo.
At 2:110 : o'clock tbo tram returned to
Omaha.

' Clrclc-H.
Th'e Missouri Pacific's cut-off between
Union and Gllmoro has been completed , but
nothing has been done as yet toward running
trains ever It. Sutwrintondont Dickinson
went over the road Saturday , and will recommend -
commend to General Manager Clark that a
stub train bo run over the road for a couple
of months until the road bed gets solid , botoro
putting any heavy trains on it.
This now road of twonty-olght miles short
ens the distance uotwoon Kansas City and
Omaha about twonty-ono miles , nnd will bo
used entirely for through freight and passen
ger trains ns noon ns it Is In condition for
hi'avy trains , which will bo about two
months from this timo.
The project of running the Missouri Pa-
clllc trains into the Tenth street depot has
been talked of for some time , but nothing
dotlnlte has been decided on. It is probable
that this will not bo done until the new depot
is completed.
N. J. O'Brien has been appointed superin
tendent of the Washington division of the
Union Pacific , vice W. S. Ilulett , assigned
to other duties. "Nick" O'Crion Is an
Omaha ooy , being a brother of George and
Moses O'Brion , and has boon In the service
of the Union Paclllo about eighteen years.
Ho has been trainmaster on the Montana
Union tor some tlm ) past , but during the
past few weeks ho has been conllned to the
house by sickness.
\rice President S. H. II. Clarke Is ex
pected to roturu to Omaha sometime this
week.
The washout on the York line of the n. &
M. has been repaired and trains are running
through on timn.
Assistant General Manager Dickinson ,
Superintendent ; ! Korty and McConnell , and
Car Accountant Buckingham of the Union
Pacific returned Sunday nleht from an ex
tended trip ever the system. All the gentlemen
were at their accustomed posts this morning
except Mr. Dickinson , who was confined to
his room by a slight illness.
Mescrs. Korty , McConnell and Bucking
ham Imvo expressed themselves as greatly
pleased with their trip and all were unani
mous in the opinion that the cntiro country
through whlcn the Union Pacific and Its
branches pass would yield an immense crop
in all sorts of grain. They especially men
tioned Washington , Oregon. Texas and
Kansas as being in exceptionally flno condi
tion with tremendous crops In prospect. In
Texas small grain was cut and threshed and
much of it ready to ship. Corn was
"tassolod" and "in the silk" and in excellent
condition. In the extreme northwest and
Kansas the crops were not so rar advanced
but a largo crop was assured. Nebraska
grain looked well buj , had been injured con
siderably by the rains.
In connection with the crops Mr. McCon
nell , superintendent of motlvo power , said
the road was in good shape and rolling stock
was being repaired rapidly. Bv September
1st the road would bo in a position to handle
all the traflla offered.

The county commissioners yesterday dls-
covered a good sjzod error in the work of
Assessor Franklin of the Fifth ward. The
machine shop of the Union Pacific railroad
stands on block -I , city. For years this
block has been assessed at S. > 5,000 , nnd the
taxes have alwnvs bcoa paid without any
great kick. Thjs year the assessor of the
Fifth ward omitted the property ami failed
to value It at any price. When this was dis
covered it was assessed at $55,000 as in days

Last evening's train over the Mlhvaukoo
carried among other passengers Mrs. Mngglo
AlcVicars , who will tomorrow , nt Rochester ,
Minn. , bo married to ono of the wealthiest
merchants ot that city , Mr. Arthur Morton.
This marriage Is the result of vows spoken
twenty years ago , hut which wore Inter ;
ruptcd hy a misunderstanding occasioned by
the loss of a letter In the malls.
In 1372 Arthur Morton and Mm Hartley
lived on the north side m this city and were
engaged. Their parents , however , con
sidered them too young to marry. It was
agreed that young Morton should go west ,
and If at the end of three years ho was able
to support a wlfu and they each still loved
each other , the wedding should rccolvo
parental sanction. In the meantime the
two lovers were not to correspond for two
years. Morton wont to Minnesota and for
two years worked hard to provide a homo for
the women ho lovod. Ho prospered fairly
well and acquired a very comfortable prop
erty. Ho then wrote to Miss Hartloj- , ap
prising her of tils condition and offering lior
his hand. At that time Miss Hartley lived
In Milwaukee , which fact Morton know , but
In directing the letter the youth from force
of habit wrote Chicago Instead of Milwau
kee.
kee.Tho
The young lady , still faithful , waited for
the letter , but at the end of the third year
bccamo discouraged. She yielded to the Im
portunities of Mr. John MoVlcars and In
1875 married htm. In the meantime Morton
waited for a reply to his letter and as none
ever came he accepted it as a fact that ho had
occti rejected. Ho did not plno away even
after the marrlogo of Miss Hartley. About
six months after Miss Hartley became Mrs.
McVicars she received through the doud letter -
tor ofllco the letter written two years before
by Morton. In spite of the fuel that she was
a wife , she wrote to her llrst love telling him
that whllo she should bo a faithful wife , her
life would have been pleasanter had she re
ceived the letter In time.
Three years ngo Mr. MoVlcars died In this
cltv , where ho had lived for ten years , nnd
about a year ago Mr. Morton and Mrs. Mc-
Vicars began correspondence. The romance
ends in the wedding which has been post
poned twenty ye.irs.

The marble cutters' union met yesterday ,
and after dlscusslne fully the results of the

of Chicago shall remain hi force until u satis
factory and honorable agreement is reached ;
that no member of the union shull receive

STOCK KXCHANflU Foil CHICAGO.
A syndicate of wealthy capitalists Is being
organl/ed In Chicago to form a stock ex
change with the object of supplanting the
Now York stock exchange as a medium of
speculation. Phil. Armour , H. H. I'ortor ,
H. H. Cable and several other millionaires
are back of the scheme. George M. Pullman
is known to bo friendly to it also. These men
roallzo thai speculation has been almost en
tirely driven away from Wall street by the
picayune policy of the New York operators ,
who do not get up bull or bear campaigns ,
out who content themselves with scalping a
point or two on either side. They bcliovo that
It cnn bo revived in the nest to flourish as
never before. Besides , they say Chicago Is
the natural centre of the railroad system of
the United States , and its people are bettor
informed In regard to the value of railroad
stocks. The plan proposed Is to erect a largo
stock cxchantro In Chicago. The price of a
seat will bo $10,000 to start with , and the
market will be made so active lhat traders
all over the country will speculate in Chicago ,
stocKs Instead of those quoted on the New
York exchange.

Prlnco George of Greece , arrived hero this
morning from Omaha. Ho was accompanied
by Captain Lahmer of the Russian nuvy , and
ono servant. The princois traveling incognito
and registered at the Auditorium hotel as
Count Folstor. At the depot he was met by
a delegation of the Grecian Benevolent asso
ciation , which escorted him to the hotel. The
prince was much pleased with the reception
accorded him by his countrymen ,
Uefcrring to the attack lu Japan upon tno
Uusslan grand duke , the prince said that
none of the reports' ' "thus ac printed had
proved correct. Drawing upon a card , par
allel lines to represent a street ho told how
the party had been walking when attacked.
"Wo were on ono sldo of the street , " ho said ,
"and a line of police were on either sldo.
Two oOicmls heeded the line , then came the
grand duke. I followed , and back of me wus
the Japanese minister. Suddenly a man
stopped past the line of pa.lco , raised his *
sword with both hands above his head , and
before any ouo could interfere he brought It
down with all his strength. For
tunately the grand duke , though obliquely
In front , saw him and stopped
nsldo in tlmo to save his life , though not a
cut. The sword's point gashed his skull
from nearly the crown of his bead to just
over his right eye , and tliou the sabre swung
again , and once rooro the grand dukb was cut
in nearly tbo sumo place. Thou the grand
duke ran , the assassin following him. I
rushed after them , and just as the sword was
raised to strike again I rapped the scoundrel
on the head with my stick and brought him
to the ground. That was all , " and the prince
smiled as If saving the llfo of the probable
ompororof the Russians was an every day
occurrence. *
"Theso reports , " said Prince George ,
"about the sensational disappearance of the
czarnwltch's special messengers at or near
Denver nro nil wrong. I am a very near
friend to the Uussian prince , and I under
stand lust how ho sent dispatches to his
father In Ilussla and what messenger * took
them , The route across America , being the
most convenient , Is the favorite. Every mes
senger thus far sent by ( ho prince has re
ported sato and sound at tit , Petersburg.
They uro not going about advertising the fact
that they nro bearing dispatches to the czar.
It Is true ono messenger was hurled against

and two teeth , voro knocked out of his mouth ,
HQ proceeded on his Journey when the train
