PUSH NEW 1NTERURBAN LINE Omaha , Council Bluffs & Suburban Railway Bushing to Completion. CARS TO BE RUN DURING THE WINTER llcllMedt'm I'liiiuuiN Ilnnil Ilnnnncd fur u SciiKint of Flit ; Week * nl I.nlcr .Mnniinn the Coin- In IT SlIIMIIII'U Work on the line of the Omaha , Council Bluffs & Suburban railway Is being pushed forward as rapidly na material can be procured - ! cured and the ofllclaln of the company do | not appear to be In the least alarmed or dln- turbpd over the attacks made In the courts on thtlr franchise. Track has been laid from East Omaha across the Terminal com pany's bridge along Twcnty-clghlh street to Avenue F , where work had to ho brought to n stop yesterday for want of rails. The new street railway company , like all other railroads , Is experiencing the greatest dllHculty In having Itn orders for material , especially steel rails , filled. The company , however , received advices yesterday that twelve cars ot rails had been shipped and were on their way here. Manager Ueed stated yesterday that ho expected they would reach here by the first of next week , when tracklaylng would be resumed and pushed forward until the rails were laid to Thirteenth street and Avenue A. With the line completed to this point It will give the new company connection with the Illinois Central. The stringing of wlro was com pleted yesterday up to the point \\hero the rails are laid. A carload of wire will be brought from East Omaha this morning over the new line and the work of stringing as far na Thirteenth street and Broadway pushed forward without delay. Ituii Cnri Thin Winter. Manager W. S. Uced stated yesterday that the company expected to run cars between the Illinois Central depot and Omaha this winter , but did not figure on having the Manawa line.In operation before next May. Until the company's power house In East Omaha Is completed the now line will be furnished with power by the Omaha Street Hallway company. For the present the com pany will use the cars and motors nnd other equipment of the East Omnba Street Rail way company. The equipment which has been ordered for the new line Is not ex pected to reach here before next sprlnjp or early summer. Work on the company's new buildings In East Omaha Is progressing as rapidly na possible and the car barn Is now being placed under roof. This building is quite a large structure , being 175x75 feet of pressed brick , with stone trimmings. It will have a capacity for the housing of eighteen large cars and six of the smaller size. The repair and paint shop will be built at the rear of the car barn. This will be a frame structure 35x135 feet In dimensions nnd covered with corrugated iron. The walls of the power house are up about half way and Manager Reed hopes to get It under roof before the bad weather nets In. This building Is 70x100 feet and with the car barn Is located at the foot of Locust street. The boilers for the power hpnsc are already on the ground and will be placed In position next week. The machinery , Manager Reed snys , will all be Installed by May , when the company's trains -will be run by power furnished from its own house. From East Omaha to the Illinois Central depot at Broadway and Twelfth street the new line has clear sailing and no tracks of other loads to cross. Even If the company wished to extend 'its line further than this point It would be Impossible to do s'o for-tho present , ns there necessarily must bo more or less delay In procuring the necessary frogs and crossings to bo laid where the new line will cross other tracks. Measure ments have to be made for these crossings and the order placed with the Cleveland Fro ? nnd Crossing company , whoso repre sentative has been In the city for several days. Ho completed the taking of the measurements yesterday afternoon and last night returned to Cleveland with the order In his pocket. Company' * I'lnnn. In talking of the plans of the new com pany yesterday Mr. W. S. Reed , the general manager and who Is in charge of the con struction of Its line , said that they bad niado a most satisfactory arrangement with Ihn Illinois Central whereby they hnvo se cured the right to cross the hitter's tracks ' on Its right of way between Indian creek , and Avcnuo A. Ho said : j "At present our Intentions are to continue ! our line cast from the Illinois Central depot ] on Avenue A to Ninth street and will then' ' either go east on Broadway to Sixth street , which we have n right to do under our fran- cnisc , or cue win go south on Ninth street to First avenue and then east on First nvenuu to Sixth street. On Sixth etreet , frcin First nvenno to Sixth avenue wo shall lay but a single track , but from Sixth nve- ntio to the lake we shall put down a double track. "Wo intend to mnko n loop nt Sixth nve- nuo by building our track east on the avenue , ' to Main street , then north on Main street to First nvcnuo and west on First nvonuai to connect with the track again at Sixth ! street. " In discussing the plans of his company' ' for next season nt Lake Manawn Manager' ' Reed said that a meeting of the ofllccrs oi tb < i company was held yesterday after-1 noon In Omaha , when arrangements were made for a five weeks' engagement of Bell- ! etedt'B famous band , commencing June 15 , , although If found practicable this data may. bo changed to a later one , as U may bo pos- tdblo that the company will not huvo Its entlro now equipment on tbo ground at thn earlier date. Triu-ltN Til If en l'n. Tbo pieces of track laid by tbo old motor company on South Main street as a pre cautionary measure to forestall the new street car company were taken up yesterday afternoon by a force of the motor com pany's men under the supervision of Alder man Casper , chairman of the committee on streets and alloys , and Street Supervisor Avery. The paving blocks torn up by the company were also replaced. Although the work was done by the men of the motor company , they were tem porarily employed by the city and will be paid by it and later tbo motor company will refund the money to the city. This method \\as adopted In order to avoid clashing with the Injunctions Itmieil by the courts against the motor company restrain ing It from doing any work on Its second track on Main street. The places where the portions of tracks wore laid were In a dangerous condition nnd In order to pre vent accidenU the city decided to do the work Itself. Later in tbo afternoon General Manager Dlminock nerved notice on the city that he would bo pleased to have the proper ofll- cluls determine the cost of paving on Main street that the company would have to pay before it could lay Us second track. This U taken to imply that the motor company Intcmle at once to lay its second track along that thoroughfare , or ns soon ns the Injunction proceedings arc disposed ot In the district nnd superior courts. Mayor Jennings Issued a onll yesterday afternoon for a apcclal meeting thin mornIng - Ing of the committee of the whole of the city council to have the city fathers go In a body to the southern part of the city nnd look over the route which the Lake Manawn & Manhattan Bench Railway company pro poses taking from the terminus of the mo tor company's line on Main street nnd Six teenth nvcnui1 to the city limits.

I while at the head of the public schools of that place had a dispute with a Wymoro eill- tor. I believe that all the stories emanated from that quarter , but I do not know for pertain that they did.
