They Maybe Destroyed Any .Day , by Fire or Oth r- wis . Thej incidents of the past two days have'shown one thing very plainly , the necessity of a new city hall for the cafe-keeping of the valuable pub lic records of this city. Grave fears were felt yesterday by some of the occupants of the City Hall building for its Bnfety , and in fact fears have been entertained for some time pasi concerning it. To say nothing of the danger from fire , which so huge and lightly con structed a frame building is always in , there nre some who expect to see it fall down from its own weight , or during some crowded session of the city council. As is generally known , this building was erected by Charles Rjelke in 1868 , for an Opera House , and those who examined it during its construction , say that Roelka , who was not very conscientious in his work , put only 2x4 scantling in it instead of heavy timbers as he should have done. It is built too on the side of the hill , slanting -slightly toward Sixteenth street , from which its front rises to a height of sixty feet or thereabouts. After being occupied a short time as anoperahome.it was abandoned as unsafe , and the rooms converted into smaller halls and offices. While thus utilized 'it was put up as 'the grand prize In a raffle conducted by Pattee , who came out at the end of the affair the owner hlmsUf , by some turn known only to himself. He is still the owner , and Hon. John I. Rodick acts as bis agent. While the building may be gooc enough for ordinary purposes , it is no safe place for the public records , and , if it escapes fire , will fall over into the street some day , and kill half the oc- cupaata. Among the records stored away in it are those running b&ck for twenty seven years , such as the' rec ords of the city council , the treasurer's books , etc. While each office is pro vided with a safe , it. is by no means adequate protection. Unwieldy wooden cases , which could not be moved in case of a fire , are packed full with valuable documents , such as patents and deeds to the lands owned by the city , plats of the various additions and other equally important documents. This is something which demands the attention of the city council -and suggests the propriety oj taking steps to build a good city hall or a wing from1 which one can be con structed in the future , which would be provided with'the requisite vaults and be fire preof. A good site for ruoh a place is the unoccupied lots at the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Farnham , where space exists for a building of any size that the city's growth may in the future demand. Such a building will have to be erected , sooner or later , and , until it is , auy stroke from the fire bell may be one which , will herald a conflagration that will cost the city thousands of dollars and involve her in endless litigation. Such a fire is Imminent at all times and we have' few level headed men in the city comncilwho ought to look into this matter. Marriage Licenses.

Yesterday the result of tha storm of the past two days wa § seen la a general suspension of business. E\ery available man was outdoing duty on the street gang , clearing side walks and digging out the gutters to prerent an ovoilow. The rain which fell during the night did not materi ally change the condition of the streets , but it relieved the trees and telegraph wires of their burdens af let taking down a few more of thorn. , In many parts of the city , especially in North Omaha , the damage to trees was considerable , while the telephone line was completely demoralized Gangs were put to work with daylight repa-ring the breaks , whila hundreds set to work with pick and shovel to clear the walks , and still others b-gaa to relieve the roofs of their loads THE STREET RAILWAY. Early yesterday a snow plow wsi run over the line to prapare the wa ] for the men sent out to cut the ice away from the track. The entire force of employes was put on the track but the ice had formed so thickly over it that Capt. Marsh expressec his doubts as to whether the cart 3ud be got running even by to-mor row. Business men living in North Omaha , who usually depend on the street can , waded to town through two miles of slush and snow , bought rubber boots and began the attempt to raise the snow blockade. THE GREATEST UAKOKR is that to be anticipated from a rain.or sudden thaw which would result ir flooding every basement room anc cellar along the principal streets anc many first floor rooms beside. The emergency of the case was such that Mayor Chase deemed it expedient to call a special session of the city coun cil to consider the matter , which waste to meet at one o'clock and whose pro ceedings will be found elsewhere in this "paper. The only fea sible plan would seem to be the immediate opening of the gutters along Farnam and Douglas street seas as to permit the water from the hills to pass off unobstructed. The snow would necessarily have to be banked up in the streets , and travel suspend ed , except along the sides of the street. THE B. AND XI. A reporter called at the B. & M , headquarters yesterday , and learn ed that the wires had been down be tween Omaha and Flattsmouth since two p. m. Sunday , and that all com * mnnlcation with Lincoln was cut off except an occasional dispatch by thi Western Union. The condition o : things along the line was o course not known except that eighl inches of snow had fallen at Hastings and the line waa blockaded every where. No freight trains wire sent outH tnday on this end of the road , nc the regular south bound passenger train left some time late and got ou with , difficulty with the aid of two engines. Two engines were used on all their passenger trains sent out o ; Lincoln Monday. It is expected tha the line will be in good working erdei by today.TflE TflE UNION PACIFIC. All the regular freight trains were sent out from Omaha ontimeMonday. The dumtnv and other trains on the bridge division are makirg their regu lar runs The only train due from the east yesterday waa the Northwestern - ern , which had not been heard from at noon. The overland train came over to this side at twelve o'clock , expecting to get out not over an hour late. The break in telegraph connec tion with the west was discovered to be between Omaha and Millard and consequently a force was sent out this morning to make the necessary re pairs , which were expected to be com pleted by to-night The train west was held at this point on their ac count. Train No. 4 was laid up at Sidney last night by the storm and will ar rive several hours late. THE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE. . These wires 'are down all over the city , but work Is progressing actively on their repair , and a day or two will see everything in working order. The annoyance caused bv the absence of telephone connections with the city and telegraph connection with the outside world has caused people to realize as they never did before the value of those public servants. A year ago the telephone waa not known here. Now it is found to be Indis pensable. In the language of .blinKey Brown "there's nothing like it. " L CITY COtTH OIL. At special meeting of the city council , called by Mayor Chase for 1 p. m. Monday , waa attended by Messrs. Dally , Dodge , Hornberger , Jones , Kanfraann , Ltbagh tephenson , Thie- man and President Boyd. The object of the meeting was to take steps to clear the sidewalks and gutters so as to avoid a flood. The mayor proposed the appoint ment of a man who should , with seve ral laborers and the street gang , go to work and keep the gutters open until the danger is over. Councilman Dodge moved to appro priate c.n amount not exceeding $500 to cover the expenses to be incurred in the work. Mr. Thieman moved that the ordi nance in regard to-cleaning the side- be enforced. Mr. Dodge waa not in favor of waiting , but wanted an efficient force put on at once to prevent any dama ges from being incurred. Mr. Dodge moved that the delega tion from each ward be authorized to employ two teams and five men for two days , to work in their respective wards. Mr. Stephenson thought tha > there were enough-on the chain gang , and1 that horses weje all that were wanted , and that It.wa * only necessrry to open the principal streets. Mr. . Boyd opposed the motion and said he would not employ a man or team.in the work even if the motion was carried.He should disregard any instructions from the council to do so. The" , ordinance .requiring' property owners to keep the gutters in front of their houses .opened should be enforced ' forced * _ - Mr. Kinfm fm wa * In Jtwor.of em ploying some jtejitts and men to do the irork , and .thought the ordinance in this cue waaVdefectivD. Mr/JJoytl changed HU'mind and expressed his willingness to employ a email force to. do the work and thought the council would appropriate a small sum to pay for it. He did not think it would be legal however and would not favor any large expenditure. Mr. Hornberger thought the alleys M .well uthe streets should be attended to , as some premises would be flooded from the alleys. Mr. Dally offered aa a substitute a resolution to employ two teams and five men'to clean the cutters on the principal streets of : the city , .at an ex pense not to exceed $100. Toe same to be aider .the direction of the com mittee on streets and grades. Mr. Kaufmann offered M an amend ment to Include the alleys adjacent to ie same. , tu Mr. Ho'rnbeigetthoaght thfl appro- wiation. would be UbgaL . The resolution was voted on and declared adopted. Mr. Dodge called for a division of the home , which resulted In the adoption of the resolution by a vote of five to four. Mr. Dodge explained his vote In the negative by saying that the force was Inadequate to do the work yesterday and if not done before night it was not any use to do it at all. A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Boyd and amid some confusion as carried. _ _ Bubbors , all sizes and all kinds , very low prices , at K. DOBLE & Co.'s Leading Shoe Store. FOBS !

Third An arrangement for furnish ing gas for the various buildings. Fourth Hose for fire protection.
