Tlio Immense steel caisson that is destined
to encircle the great masonry draw pier of
the East Omaha bridge has touched bed
rock more than 100 feet below the bed of the
Missouri , nnd the order of work that has
been so persistently pushed for months past
will now bo reversed. Instead of extending
the ponderous mass further downward ,
( every effort will now bo directed to fillIng -
Ing the hugo metal shell with concrete
and rearing Its broad head of masonry per
manently nbovo the murky waters of the
Dig Muddy. It is expected that
this will bo accomplished by the
middle of next month , and that there
will then stand completed in the center of
the channel a column that will still remain
when generations yet unborn shall have run
'tholr earthly race nnd passed beyond.
It may not bo uninteresting to the people
of Omaha to know that they will soon have
hero , resting on that very pier , the longest
nnd heaviest draw span In the world , mcas-
Ing KM ) feet between centers of cnd-plns.
nnd weighing nearly -1,000,000 pounds , w.hlo !
the llvo load for the same will vary from 8,000
to 10.000 pounds to the lino.il foot.
But the draw span Is not the only feature
of the brldgo that is out of the ordinary ,
for the structure In Its entirety will bo a.
revelation and an Innovation.
His impossible to devote nero sufllclont
space to describe in detail a structure of
such magnitude , but something like an'ade-
quato Idea may bo convoyed by a crcnoral de
scription of this unique product of brldgo
building science.
out of High Water' * Wny.
It will bo what Is known as a low bridge ,
differing In that respect from both the struc
tures that now span the Missouri between
this city and Council Bluffs. The act of
congress authorizing its construction pro
vides that It shall bo at least ten feet above
normal high water , and In order to bo be
yond the iwsslblc reach of the surging flood
It will bo oven a foot higher than required.
The memorable flood of 1881 Is not taken
into consideration in fixing normal high
water , but oven if that height should again
bo reached the water will not reach the
East Omaha brldgo , but would swirl and
sceth four feet below its huge steel
girders.
In a low bridge , the draw is. of course ,
the principal feature , but in this case the
engineering curiosity Is the pier. It sinks
1'Jl feet below low water , and the usual
plan of sinking a caisson by work under
compressed air would have been Impractical
na the pressure at that depth would bo enor
mous ; in fact , work below seventy foot in
depth Is attended by great , fatality among
the ratsson men.
Now IVny ot Sinkinc Ca
It was to moot this condition that con
fronted him that Chief Engineer J. A. L.
Wcddcll of Kansas City determined to sink
the caisson by the means of water Jots , dls-
charclng into the sand at regular intervals
along the sharp edge of the caisson
bottom. Instead of being constructed
' yiso the ordinary caisson in a se
ries of chambers and air locks ,
this caisson , as put together in sectipas , re
sembles nothing BO much 'as an , in'imcuso
atovcplpo forty foot In diameter outside of
another twenty 4 feet in diameter.- ' The
smaller does not go within ten feet as low as
the outer one , but the same sheet metal'con
nects thorn at an angloof forty-five degrees ,
. . forming n-great funnel shaped room -at the
bottom forty foot in diameter and ten feet
high and with a twenty-foot circular open
ing at the top.
The space between the two great pipes
was filled with masonry above water as the
caisson was put together , the constantly In
creasing weight assisting in holding the im
mense shell steady and carrying it down as
the thirty-two water Jets washed away the
earth at the edges of the funnel shaped bet
tom. Tncso water Jots were discharged from
pipes that ran down through the masonry
between the caisson walls at intervals of
about four feet , the necessary pressure bolng
furnished by powerful force pumps.
This construction of the caisson loft the
Inside of the smaller tube , which formed
a central shaft , entirely free and clear , but
tilled , of course , with water to the height of
that in the open river outside. This pre
cluded the possibility of any one working
nt the bottom of thn caisson , but there
was no necessity for anything of that
hind , as a largo clamshell dredge was oper
ated through thlt ) shaft , bringing up from
the funnel shaped space at tlio botto
nearly a cubic yard of earth at a load , or a
largo wagon load every ten minutes. As the
liredgo excavated the center , the jccts cu
away at the edges , and slowly hut surely the
caisson foot dropped farther and farther
from the light of day. The progress depende
naturally on the depth us well ns on the
character of the soil that was being pju-
nCratcd , but during the last few wccktt the
caisson wns lowered at the rate of frpn
three to thrco and a half feet per day o
twenty-four hours , work being pushed day
and night.
Mtllick Hoilrock
This work has now been completed , the
bottom being reached yesterday morning , aiu :
today the caisson stands solidly oil bedrock , a
great hollow tube sorrounded by hundreds
of cubic yards of solid masonry. The next
work , to bo done Is to fill this hol
low center , and make It ns solid nnd lasting
as the other. This might appear to bo ti
difficult /eat to perform , but like many
another seemingly dlfllcult nnd dangerous
undertaking it is the simplest thing in the
world when you know how. Knowing how
In this ca o means the lowering into the
Bhaft of n largo pi no with ao curved arm ut
the bottom , and down that pipe grouting is
dropped by wholesale , the curved arm
which is under control from the teL |
Ilko an Inverted water tower , distributing
the grouting all over the bottom ut the wil
of the operator. This grouting hardens
under water , and there Is soon a tightly co-
tnontcd mass filling the givat funnel 120 foot
below. Then It Is that direct work may bo
wild to begin , for the water is pumped out
of the shaft and worjuncn , practically "high
nnd dry , " begin laying concrete In air more
than 100 feet below the bed of the
river. When they begin they are
surrounded by walls of masonry un
rased In sheet iron , with a plug o
grouting several feet in thickness nt their
root .keeping out the water , and the thick-
lieX pf this plug they constantly hici-oaso
until they roach the surface. From the
height of normal low water u humlaomii und
uubstantlal stonu pier rises to a course of
MM > stones to moot the superstructure of the
brldgo. As abovu stated , It Is expected that
by the middle of Juno
the pier will bo ei-
tlrely completed , and the work or putting
the ponderous tiraw span in position will b
bvgun ,
The sinking of the pier by the Jot systen
wns much moro rjpld than could have beer
done under the old plan , in which the open
Ing and closing of the air locks consume j
great deal of valuable tlmo.
Ilrtmlilnir ItucorcU lor r.oucth.
It Is not alone In Us draw span that thn ,
brldgo will provo a record breaker , lor the
span adjoining It will ba without any oxcop.
iJon the longest fixed span In tl.o world ,
Lnat , however , docs not Include cantilever
Dtructures.which forraaclassby themselves ,
' but It will bo without an equal among the
f'l llxod truss spans , having a length of 600
foot , The present louirest fixed bp.in u WJ
foot long , nnd is over iho Ohio river , at
Louisville , ICy. , go that the one hero will ex
ceed it In length by clerun foot. The superstructure
structure- both the draw span and llxcd
f : span will bo about 100 feet In height , or
about 210 feet from , the bottom of the , piers
to the top of the steel work , a greater dis
tance than from the bottom of tha founda
tion to the top of the flagstaff on the highest
building in the city ,
But work on the piers for the fixed span
hts not yet been commenced and will not bo
until after tram * are in actual operation
j.
and running across the bridge. This may
seem to bo a strange tafmnent , but It Is lit
erally true.
I'ho fact Is that the Omaha Bridge &
Terminal Hallway company U building two
bridges at ono and the same time. It must
DO understood that It requires a great deal
of money to brlileo the Missouri , nnd Ills
therefore essential that a bridge bo com
pleted as quickly as possible and put to
earning something In the way of a return.
It wns not until confronted with the
demand of the bridge company for n struc-
tire to bo ready for operation nt the earliest
possible moment that Engineer Waddcll
went to work on something never before at
tempted , mid as a result the present plans
were evolved. The successful execution of
the scheme could not have been consum
mated out for the fact that the structure Is
a draw bridge , and It will bo'seenhow simple
after all Is the plan that gives the company
a bridge across ono of the most treacherous
streams on top of earth , nearly n year sooner
than It could have been secured In any other
way. s
In order to carry out these plans It was
necessary to do something never before done ,
and what was supposed by bridge engineer *
engineers to bo an Impossibility. That was
the driving of seventy-foot piles fifty feet
Into the bed of the Missouri. Hero again it
was that the offcctlvo little Jot got in its
work , nnd by Its help the great piles .vcro
down with comparatively llttlo trouble.
The plans call for a temporary structure ,
of which the draw span Is a part. The per
manent bridge will span the river at a right
angle , but when sot at Its place In the tem
porary structure the draw span will Ho at
variance with Its other position by about
eleven degrees , the river end being about
fifty feet further down stream nnd the land
end the same distance farther up the bank.
The span can bo swung Into position for
cither bridge at a moment's notice , it being
possible to make the change In less than a
mmuto , oven under adverse circumstances.
The tompovary structure Is built in three
spans , each 103 feet In length , for which
four piers are required , one of them being
' ; ho ono on which the river end of the draw
ivlll also rest , with another temporary pier
on the bank , for the other end of the draw.
It was suggested in the presence of En
gineer Waddell that the company might bo
ID well pleased with its temporary structure
hat U would forgot to comulotu the perma
nent bridge in accordance with the plans.
I'lann I'or the I'erinnnont llrldge.
'If ' all wo wanted was a temporary bridge ,
would wo have Invested half n million dollars
In a pier and draw span like thlsf" ho In-
: | uirod. "No , the bridge will bo completed
'n its entirety In strict accordance with the
, > lans. It will cost about $35.000 or $00.000
extra to put In the temporary bridge , but wo
will got it in operation by the 1st of Septem
ber , which will bring us In the earnings of
several months that wo would not
otherwise get. Not only that , but it will
enable us to build the remainder ot the per-
manentrslructurc at a greatly reduced cost.
You must romcinbor that the necessity of
rushing work under adverse conditions
swells the cost of a bridge enormously , and
this temporary bridge will do away with
that entirely. Ordinarily there Is nothing
In sight until such n structure Is completed ,
and added to this Is the necessity of
duplicating a great deal of expensive
machinery in order to put down all the piers
at once , or of rushing work nt all times that
not a moment may bo lost. The result is
that hc.ivy loss is entailed by the carrying
away of false work two or three times by
the ice , the spring rise and the Juno Hood.
By following the plan we have adopted , wo
avoid all of that difficulty. Wo speedily
got a brlilgo in operation , which
will take care of the bulk of the busi
ness that would bo offered if the
permanent bridge was completed , nnd
HO are also enabled to proceed with the re
mainder of the permanent work at our
lolsuro and at such times as are most suit
able for Its advancement under favorable
conditions. Thcso temporary piers do nor
go to bedrock , but so far as strength and
solidity are concerned they could not bo
moro Immovable. The only thing is that
they will not. last forever , but they are good
for at least seven years. The
piling will rot in tlmo , but
the permanent structure will bo completed
long before that time arrives. Two moro
pidrs will have to go down to bedrock" for the
permanent structure , and it was at first In
tended to put in. three , but the plans wcro
somewhat changed : -A dyke has been con
structed , which throws the river out as far
as the pier at the Nebraska cud of the fixed
span , nnd wo will put in piling from there to
tlio beginning of the grade instead of an ad
ditional span. At the end of the tempo
rary bridge wo will have about 400 feet
of heavy piling reaching to the high bank.
The temporary piers are now in position.
They are 10x5."i feet in sio and around each
Is built a brush mattress eighteen inches
thick on the bed of the river. This prevents
washing around the pier , and as the river
washes at the edge of the mattress thcgJat-
ter settles down , forming a covered crown
all around the pier and sloping in all direc
tions away from the same. 'J.he mattress
around the draw pier is 80x120 foot in size.
The pier stands In about fifteen feet ol
water , though the dcoth has varied since
wo have been at "vork on it from nlno to
twenty-llvo feet. The temporary bridge lies
on a grade from the north end of the draw
span to the Nebraska shore , and will bo
about twenty-five feet above the water.
Coit ol the Urldea Complete.
"The cost of the bridge when completed
will be about $ li.00,000 , Including the extra
cost of the temporary structure. If will bo
seventy feet in width , and its weight wili
Do about 7,000 pounds of steel to the foot
over the entire length of the two great
spans , which is 1,080 feet. The contracts
were let September 1 and 2 of last year , am
work was begun on October 1. It will prob
ably bo two years before the per
uiancnt structure is completed , as work
can DO done moro deliberately after the
temporary bridge is in operation. The per
maiicnt bridge will have two railway tracks
In tin ) center and on either sldo will bo a
motor tr.u'k. Each motor track will afford
a passage way for wagons and outside these
will bo the foot walks for pedestrians. The
temporary bridge will bo a narrow ono , with
ouo motor rail between the railroad rail :
and the other' outside , and the wagon roiu
will also bo thcro , so that spued over thai
structure may at limes have to bo reducct
to u walk , hut on the permanent bridge oacl
class of travel ( excepting motor and wagon ]
will bo by Itself and no limit will bo placed 01
speed. Trains can run over that at a rate 01
fifty miles an hour and no questions naked
The draw will he operated by two foity
horsepower motors , which will bo fed by
storage batteries of the most modern type
Electricity will bo supplied by the motoi
wires running over the bridge. The draw
can bo opened by this machinery and closet
in eight minutes , oven In a high wind , nnd It
can be opened in llvo minutes in the face o
a hurricane , although it Is far from probable
that wo would over bo called upon to open
It at such a time , as under such conditions
Missouri river bouts are generally tied to
the bank. "
Mr. Totter on the Company' * lutcutloni.
General Manager Arthur S. Potter of the
bridge company , was asked yesterday to
mulco a statement of the company's Intou
lions , and to give the publlo somn idea o :
what might bo expected when the brldgo
was in successful operation. Ho replied
that it had not boon the policy of the t-om
pany at tiny tlmo to nmlto any noise
regarding what It proposed to do
preferring to wait until It has
c.u-rlod Its plans Into execution , am
hab something that every ono could see , as
the public could then view the sttuatloi
through Its own eyes , and , without bolng In
lluencod by Interested parties , could form
ifs own conclusions as tohat the enterprise
priso menus to Omaha , It was not until It
was urged that the enterprise was quasi
public in Us nature , and that the people
vero entitled to mora dcllnitc knowledge as
to its magnitude , that Mr. Potter yielded.
"We have no wish to bo secretive In the
matter , " ho said , "but wo have not deslroi
to boom our project , knowing full well tha
the time would soon coma when U couU
speak for Jtsolf , It Is a faot that it was designed
signed at the time of its inception to benell
East Omaha , but it has far outgrown its
local character , und that Is now only an incl
dent. What the Omaha Hridgu & Tormina
Kail way company proposes to do is to operate
this brldgo , and to furnish terminal facilities
for whatever road& may desire access to the
city unil suitable accommodations wlthh
its limits. The 1,600 acres belonging
to the East Omaha Land company are
entirely separate and apart from the enter
prise , as the company has purchased 100
acres between Ninth and Thirteenth and bo
twrcn Nicholas and Locust streets , whlcl
will bo used for yards and terminal grounds
1 hat will glvo aniplo room for all roads tha
may desire to use our bridge , and the bcs
facllltlos for tbe public iu the way of frolgh
cpots and warehouses. Wo hnll shortly
purchase forty acres on the east sldo of the
ivcr to Rlvo us suitable yards there , nl-
.hough . wo already have cornice-
Ions with all the rondn running
nto Council Bluffs , nnd although It
vlll bo possible for any or all ot them to got
o the brldgo without the laying of any moro
rack than Is already In place , wo want
his additional ground over thcro for ills-
rlbutlng yards. No contracts have been
entered Into with any road to usoour brldgo ,
nnd wo nro not seeking any nt this time.
You do not find men out looking for tenants
> eforo they build their houses , as they build
Irst and are satisfied that they will find
enough tenants afterwards If everything Is
as It phould bo. This is the way wo feel In
his case.
" Wo nro perfectly satisfied to take our
chances in getting our share ot the business ,
nnd the company is not worrying at all over
ho outlook. Our money Is forthcoming
vhenovcr wanted , as our bonds have boon
placed , nnd ns wo have W.000,000 nt our dls-
josal. Further than this , the bonds are In
ho hands of wealthy stockholders , and thcro
vlll bo no crowding , as Is sometimes thocaso
vhen bonds are in the hands of people who
eel the need of interest.
' Wo already have the land for depot
grounds in-our possession , the brldgo Is half
. omploted , wo have ample capital at our
command and no obligations pressing. Ought
hero to bo any question ns to the success of
, ho enterprise f We wl'l ' bo running trains
nto this city over our bridge early in Sop-
ember , nnd there will bo no disposition to
tccp out any road. Our plans have gotten
> oyond the paper on which they were orig-
nally drafted , and wo have not yet to go
out and buy the first of our property. It is
all in our hands , and It Is simply n question
of time necessary for the workmen to carry
the plans into execution.
Other Improvements Contemplated.
'Tho complete scheme contemplates the
lulldlng of a line to South Omaha and the
erection in this city of a union passenger
depot , but wo have not yet appropriated the
money for that. The entire plan , however ,
can bo carried into execution for $4,500.000 ,
which docs not begin to exhaust
Lho resources of the company.
Wo dcslro to complete ono thing
at a time , and the bridge will llrst ho com
pleted nnd freight yardage and trackage
provided before wo take un the passenger
branch ot the question. As I said bcforo , < wo
do not care to boast about what wo nro
going to do in the future , as wo prefer to
wait until wo can show what wo have done
and are doing. It Is moro satisfactory and
convincing than all the wind and fancy
sketches on paper that could bo gotten to
gether. "
A llttlo delay In reaching bedrock with
the drawpier was experienced because of the
necessity of removing several loose boul
ders , that wcro found Just above the solid
rock , but by the aid of the great dredge
they were successfully handled , nnd the pier
settled into position on the permanent base
that received it as nicely as though it hud
been specially prepared for It by nature's
architect. The work of filling the hollow
centerof the pier will begin tomorrow , and
within n week the substructure will bo a
solid mass to the surface of the water.
Chief Engineer Waddell came up to per
aonally superintend the work nt this junc
ture , and to sco how the pier reached its
final position. lie will remain in the city
several days.
Mr. Potter left last evening for St. Louis ,
where. In company with the chlof engineer
of the St. Louis Terminal Hallway companv ,
of which corporation Mr. Waddcll is also the
consulting engineer , ho will view the exten
sive grounds and complete track system and
equipments of the best arnangcd nnd most
satisfactory terminal system In the country ,
preparatory to the similar arrangement of
the grounds ot the Omaha Bridge and Ter
minal Hallway company in this city.
LIFE POLICY OF A SUICIDE.
Suit Ilrouffht by Dr. llobblmi' Children for
1'ayinont or Insurance.
An Interesting case was called yesterday
In the United States court involving the
question whether an insurance company is
obliged to pay the policy held by a man who
takes his own 11/Cv The title of the-caso is
S. M. Meliek , 'administrator , against , the
Travelers' Insurance company , , buuthe his-
torv in connection with the case Involves the
life and remarkable death of Dr. Leonard II.
Uobbins of Lincoln.
The suit has been brought by the admin
istrator in the interest of the two children of
deceased , a bright boy of 15 and n girl of 13 ,
who arc witnesses in court. Dr. Hobbins
bad been a resident of Lincoln for many
years , and there had been considerable gos
sip and neighborhood criticism of his inatii
tnonial career a short tlmo prior to his pain
ful demise. On the night of June 19 , 1890 ,
Dr. Hobbins , then a thrice widowed iniin ,
with two interesting children , imagined that
he heard a burglar in his cellar. Seizing a
revolver from his bureau drawer , he started
down into the basement story of his dwell
ing. On going down the stepsho nccldcn
tally discharged the weapon , shooting him
self through the foot. The wound soon be
gan to giro the doctor serious dlfllculty , and
lockjaw set n. Ho suffered terribly and
soon became very weak.
Ono morning ho was found dead in his
bed with a horrible gash In his throat. Ho
left a letter addressed to his two children In
which wore many very touching things. He
described the very fearful pain ho was suf
fering and expressed deep and distracting
sorrow in the contemplation of being taken
away by death from his children. Among
other things , Dr. Hobbius said :
Oh , this fearful pain ? 1 cannot endure It.
I would call llttlo Leonard and his sweet slater
K tit In hut they uro so tired , ThLs pain strikes
me from the foot clear to the heart. How llt
tlo Leonard would like to como to mo and stop
this pain If he could. In his immly way , amf
Katie would como , too , In her sweet way , 1 !
bho could , and help papa. Don't KO away fron
oacn other , children , Keep together. If pap.i
should ( lie do not got estranged from cacl.
other. I'apa hopes so much togot well and dose
so much for his daillnxs. Hut his foot N M :
fearful In Its quick thrusts of pain. God \vll
keep you , dear onus. Oh , this sham pain Got
save mo from this pain Death Is near I an :
conscious but cannot spsak God wll
keep me.
Following this legibly written letter there
are several pages of scribbling , the mean
ing of which can only be conjectured , out
the son claims to bo able to decipher most of
1t , und It is in the same tone as that which
can bo so easily read. Thcro riccmod to be
but llttlo doubt as to iho Immediate causa of
death , and the coroner's Jury brought In a
verdict of death by suicide , superintended
by suffering from an accidental wound In
the foot.
The deceased carried a J.'i.OOO Ufa Insur
ance policy In the Travelers Llfo , and this
the company refuses to pay on the ground
that the holder committed suicide , and
thcro is a clause in the policy which states
that It will bo void In case of the self-do
structlon of the holder.
The case will bo stubbornly fought. Mr.
Charles Offutt of this city appears lol- the
defense , and ox-Judgo Allen Field of Lin
coln and Mr. Holmes of Omaha are attor
neys for the plaintiff.

IXXnox , May 23. About 200 yachts were
gathered to lay on the occasion of the Hoyal
Thames club regatta , ono of the most event
ful contests of the yachting year. Crowds
thronged to Qravcsond and other iwlnts In
expectation of witnessing a race of moro
than usual Interest.
The curiosity of the spectators was mainly
absorbed in Lml Dunravun's now ynclit.thn
Valkyrie , which was viewed nnd studied
with greater interest , as she is to represent
British Interests In the coming race for the
American cup.
The Britannia , the Prlnco of Wales' cutter ,
was hardly less scanned. The prince of
Wales went on board the Britannia before
the nice.
The course was from Gravcsend round the
house lightship nnd return. Other yachts
competing In the race are the Scotch syndi
cate boat , the Calluna or Whlto Heather ,
Mr. Jameson's cutter , the Iverno , nnd the
Sattlnata. The starting gun was fired at
noon , nnd nil the vnchts wore then together.
The Valkyrie got away Erst , the Britannia
followed. There was a grand race between
the Britannia and the Valkyrlo to got around
the house lightship ilrst. The Britannia se
cured the honor.
The , turning wns marvelous from the
old-tlmo sailing , for by her shortness
and depth of Iteel each was enabled
to turn nlmoit as if on a pivot. The
Britannia started homownrd fully seven
seconds ahead of the Valkyrlo. The prince
of Wales demonstrated beyond much doubt
that ho had the hotter boat , the Britannia
beitnj not only stlffor hut also sailing n trillo
closer to the wind. The Britannia led not
faraway for home , with able pap between
her and the Vnlkyrio. The Vnlkvrto began
closing the gap nnd she was almost at iho
heels of the Britannia when her topsail was
smashed. Thou her bowsprit broke off
short , bringing down ovur.ythmg. The vic
tory ofitho prince of Waloshas created great
enthusiasm among yachtsmen.
