Samples Tumbled with Rough Castings in a Foundry "Battle Box , " HOME MADE ARTICLE SHOWS UP BETTER Severe Sli.'iK'Iiin I'p DemollNlieN Sonic KorelKit Siicolmcns lint ( he Coun cil llliilTi llrleUx Come Out All Council niuffs paving brick lihve been entered In several trying contests with for eign-made brick , and In each Instance the properly made and well burned homo brick have proven their superiority. They were equally successful In the latest and most trying ordeals that any have so far been subjected to. A batch of about twenty pav ing bricks , the majority of them selected from the samples sent to the city engineer's ofllco , were placed Inside the tumbling box used to clean castings at the SprAgue Iron foundry. Among the samples were some of the best that wcro sent hero from DCS Molncs , St. Joseph , Qalcsburg and other places. All of the samples of Council Bluffs brick wcro selected at random from those to be used by Contractor Wlckham as the foundation of the Pearl street paving. The bricks wcro placed In the tumbling box with 200 pounds of new wrought castings and turned without stopping for ono and a half hours , licfore going In each brick was weighed accurately and marked with cold chisel. Some of them went to pieces and disappeared un ler the severe test , and others wcro pounded out of all semblance of origi nal form. Thcro wcro four Council Bluffs bricks. Ono of them was fractured when It was put In and broke In two pieces. They all came out In better shape than any of the others. Only the corners and edges were rounded off and their surface polished a little. They had lost only the smallest trifle of their weight and bulk. The DCS Molnes brick that Wlckham Is using for the top course on Pearl street stood next best , and the Galesburg was third. Some of the other bricks were worn down to almost half of their original slzo and were chipped and cracked badly. The test Is not yet completed. It is the Intention of the city engineer to weigh each brick and compare It with the original weight to ascertain how much was lost by the grinding and pounding. After this has been demo all of the samjiles will bo soaked In water for twenty-four hours and again carefully weighed to ascertain the amount of water that each w-lll absorb. City En gineer Tostevln estimates that the severe test given the bricks Is equal to ten years' wear on the streets. The test Is of a good deal of Importance to the people of Council Bluffs , for It dem onstrates the fact that the very best paving material In the brick line that can be ob tained is that made from native clay. The price asked by contractors for covering the streets with home made brick Is a great deal less than wheu foreign bricks are used. When home made material is used every dollar of the cost of paving Is kept nt home and every class of business benefited by the expenditure of the money. The only part of the problem to be looked after Is the burning of the brick. Burned until they are vitrltied they make a pavement that approaches preaches granite In density and durability , and while not as smooth perhaps at the start costs less and will wear longer than If made of any foreign brick yet sent to the city.

HIvorvlpMI'nrk K\to ltloti Site Ail- vfitidiKCN ! 3.xiiluncil to Committee. A delegation of Omaha and South Omaha citizens came over to Council Bluffs last night to do a little missionary work In the Interest of n site for the Transmlssls- slppl Exposition. The delegation comprised E. J. Cornish , Dr. Hanchott , John Butler , Ernest Stuht , Leo Keller , Anton Kmcnt , Frank J. Kits par , Louis Schrocder , John Powers , T. H Ensor , Charles Elgutter , M. H. ncdflcld , F. K. Darling , Judge Gordon , E. C , Lane , Dr. Glasgow , David Cole. John Johnson , Sam Scott , John Brcon , Arthur Jnlllire and Dick O'Keefo. Thb gentlemen wcro representatives of the So'lth Side Improvement club and citi zens of South Omaha who are pulling for Ulvorvlew park as the site for the location of the big tlio\v. Thuj * wcro met at the city hall by Mayor Carson , City Attorney Hazleton and other members of the com mittee of thlrty-flvo which has the Trans- mlsslsslppl Exposition Interests in Council Bluffs In charge. After an Informal greet- Inf , ' , Mr. Haxlcton was chosen chairman of the meeting , and then the visitors started their tnlk In an effort to enlist the sym pathies of Council Bluffs citizens In the lUvervlow park site. Dr. Hanchctt was the first speaker. Ho spoke of the progress of the work of raising funds for the exposition , and said that was the first aim and purpor-o before all the people. There was no light as to the loca tion. The only contest now was to BOO which locality could raise the largest amount In subscriptions of exposition stock. The friends of the Illvervlow park location were anxious that the merits of the loca tion should bo known , and that was tlifc excuse the committee had for visiting Coun cil Bluffs nt this time. He produced n map showing the location of the different sites proposed , and explained the advantages which the lUvervlow park site offered. He referred to the btreet railway and railroad facilities for reaching the site , pictured the natural beauties of the park , and urged the Council Bluffs subscribers to the ex position stock to keep the slto In mind when It came to the question of voting for the directors who would select the slto. E. J. Cornish followed Dr. Hanchctt and spoke of the advantages of the Illvervlow slto to Council Bluffs people. H could be reached , ho said , qulto as easily as the East Omaha site. Council Bluffs would bo In full view from every building on the Hlvervlew park grounds , and tbo buildings would be In view from Council Bluffs , It was desirable , too , that permanent buildIngs - Ings , such as would bo erected on the grounds , should be on property owned by the public , and that was one of the chief objections to tl.c proposed slto at East Omaha. The utilization of the river for excursion and pleasure boats would be one of the features that would be possible at the Hlvervlew park site , and at none of the other locations proposed. This would be very advantageous to Council Bluffs , and would make Manawa popular with the vis itors to the exposition. Addresses along similar lines were made by John Brccn of South Omaha and other members of the delegation. _ ] > iiiifierali * CIIIICIINON. The democratic caucuses last night re sulted In a pronounced victory for the free silver wing of the party. It Is said , how ever , that several of the delegates have strong Inclinations toward an honest money standard , and at least two of them are gold- bugs.

( Special. ) There Is considerable excitement over the proposi tion of a firm of strawboard manufacturers to visit hero with a view to locating at thin point. Ono or two neighboring cities are candidates for the enterprise , but It Is probable lied Oak will offer moro nattering Inducements than any of the contestants. It is understood they will expect n bonus of six acres of land and $15,000 cash. They Guarantee , however , to patronize the city water system to the extent of 1,000,000 or moro gallons per day , to employ 140 per manent workmen , to use thousands of tons of straw per annum , a product for which farmers here have never had any market , and otherwise enhance the Industrial status ot the community. The Sun of yesterday surprised Its readers .by throwing a damper over the spirits ot the people In relation to the matter by stating that the bonus asked was exorbitant and that In addition to prov ing an overdraft on the water system , the drainage from the mills would be of such a poisonous character as to exterminate the fish In the stream Into which It would now. The friends of that paper are at a loss to ac count for Its attitude. IIMVII Farmers Speculating1. JEFFERSON , la. , Aug. 1.

Offices are lo cated at Boone , Jefferson , Webster City , Marshalltown , Carroll and Missouri Valley. An Immense business was done In this town last year , until prices became so low that customers would not buy , but now they are developing Into regular profes sionals , and not only buy , but sell. Several good farms have gene to Chicago via this route , and , on the other hand , several traders have made "snug sums of money. Fully half of the speculators are farmers.

The state claims that the , books of the four big railroad corporations , of tile state show ship ments of butterlno and other facts which they are anxious to get at.

It is very probable that the .Central Labor union will order a big sympathetic strike throughout the city at the next meeting of the Central Labor union. Today the executive committee of the strik ing Brown Hoisting works men and labor leaders of several unions met In conference and decided that a sympathetic strike wan necessary. The committee appointed by the Central Labor union to report on the advisability of a sympathetic strike just before the supposed settlement of the Brown strike reported favorably. The number of unions nfilllated with the Central Labor union is over sixty and the total member ship numbers 20,000 In all branches of trade. These men have voluntarily bound them selves to obey the mandates of the Central Labor union , which consists of chosen rep resentatives from the different unions. The fight will not be merely local. Every union In the United States will bo culled on to assess Us members for the support of the Brown hoist strikers. Three companies of militia and a largo force of police were sent to the Brown works this afternoon. The strike nt the Brown Hoisting works resulted In bloodshed today. The trouble began early In the morning when n mob sur rounded the house of ono of the nonunion workmen nnd bombarded It with stones urd bricks , breaking the windows and e\cn smashing the weather boards. The police , hearing of this trouble , prepared for nn cut- break at noon when the nonunion men should bo dismissed. A party of these , dis regarding the efforts of the police to nrotcct them , started to walk away from the works. They had not gene far when they were met by a mob. First the rioters began to shout at the nonunlonlsts and then to throw bricks. And theu the worklngmcn drew revolvers and began shooting at the crowd. Several shots were fired , but only one took effect. John Prlnz , a foundryman , fell to the pave ment shot through the body nnd was taken to n hospital. Soon after the shooting the police arrived on the scene , but the mob had disappeared and all was quiet. This out break resulted In the calling out of two companies of militia and by the middle of the afternoon eighty policemen , In addition to the military , had been manned in the vicinity of the Brown works. No moro trou ble occurred. It Is thought that a long and bitter- struggle will ensue. The manager of the Brown works says the agreement for the settlement of the strike was well under stood by the representatives of the strikers and the company stood ready to live up to its terms. The violation of the agreement by the men , ho says , absolves the company from any further consideration of them and enables It to begin all over on a now basis , This Is taken to mean that the company will proceed to hire now men. DENVER , Aug. L Governor Mclntyre has promised a committee of the Leadvlllo Min ers' union to Investigate the matters nt Is sue between the miners and mine owners and endeavor to bring about n settlement of the strike that has thrown out of employment - ment several thousand men and crippled the chief industry of Leadvlilo.
