WOODEN PAVEMENTS.
What Knfrlnoor Rosewater 'Will Pro-
oont to tlio Board of Trade.
As announced in n brief personal
in THK BEK , City Engineer Boaowater
returned on Monday from his extend
ed visit cast , nnd brought with him
nome valuable suggestions regarding
Mo paving question , llo would havu
presented tlioao to the board of trodo
on Monday ovonini ? , if that body had
held a mooting Eeea than a quorum
of tlio members however
, , were pres
ent and so the mooting adjourned to
next week
Iu a brief
oonrersation with
a re
porter , Air. Rosownter stated that ho
had examined , during his visit , into
tlio pavings of the streets of Cleveland -
land ) Cincinnati , Dutroit , and other
prominent eastern cities. Ho hoc
found that , on the whole , where mod-
urn pavements wore used they gave
the best satisfaction anil wore consid
ered the beat and cheapest. While
this pnvemont might not bo substan
tial enough for flow York , Boston , or
Philadelphia , they answered the purpose -
pose well in all the cities tirut named.
In Detroit , especially , lie was told thai
the experiments by that city had eat-
i iiod the residents that the wooden
pavements would last for ten years ol
good service , and/ then could be re
placed at luss cost / for both pavings
than that of atone. They were
cleaner , lens hard on horses , and in
.many respects much preferable to
macadam or stono. Mr. Jloaowater's
suggestions will doubtless bo of considerable -
sidorablo value to the board of trade
when that body meets to hear them.

The pjitrt. twenty-four hours hav
been , rather quiet , so far ns the pro
codings t the Burlington it Misaout
dump a'ro concerned , and the cxcito
mont in the matter is gradually sub
siding. The militia still held the
fort in the old Catholic church , whore
they wore Monday furnished will
bunks , instead of having to sleep 01
the hard floor. The grounds and al
approaches thereto are guarded by
sentries , whoso boata extend as far ft
Ninth atroct , pn both Howard nnc
Ilarney. No crowd is permitted to
assemble , and no disturbance has
taken place.
The principal interest yesterday has
centered in the proceedings of tin
coroner's court , which nro publishcc
in full on the third and first pit o * .
The regulars were on the groutids
again promptly yesterday and the
same precautions nro exercised as dur
ing the past three days.
i'lioro is ono bad feature of tin
present military occupation of Omalm
und that is the disorder occasioned b ;
soldiers and militia who are permittee
to go about town nnd drink until the ;
bccomo belligerent and insult and us
B.-iult citieens. A number of sucl
cases are reported , and it would seem
that the military authorities ought to
take some notion in the matter. Sol
diers are only human , nnd it is not to
be expected that in such a time the ]
catt bo turned loose , when saloons an
running in full blast , and no
gotno of them at least , creati
trouble. About 1 o'clock to-day ai
old man was assaulted by a guard at
the intersection of Ninth and How
ard , knocked down , shamefully am
brutally beaten with the musket , am
driven across the street at the poin
of the bayonet. A witness to the af
fair is confident the guard was fntoxi
catod and unfit for duty. Other cases ,
still more aggravated , when the
soldiers wore on" duty are reported
and the officers would do well to linii
to the smallest degree the number
given leave to yo about the city.
A company of regulars have beer
placed on guard ever the Willow
Springs distillery , a rumor having
been circulated to the effect that thai
property was threatened by the strik
ers. There was probably no author
ity , whatever , for the rumor and the
precaution was needless.

The funeral of Oeo P. Armstrong ,

no doubt bo attended by the hirgesl
concourse of people that ever attend

the programme for tlio funeral cere
monies.
HTONK8 ANU OllAVKL.
The Lincoln .lountul tuys , in its no
count of the "Omaha War : " Monday
morning , as a construo'tiem train ol
the B. tt M. men were going qut o
the city to their work , they wore ) compelled
polled to pass a train loaded with U
P. gravel men , who , as they passed
throw giavol' and Htonea at them ,
Roaamnster Taylor , of the B. & M.
reported the indignity to the road
master of the U. P. , who promises to
make it hot for his men. "
THK aUILTV MAN.
As yet nothing has transpired te
indicate who the guilty patty in the
Armstrong murder was. It is atatoe
that the man is known and has beoi
sent homo to avoid trouble , and that
oeventcon men in all , connected with
the affair , have also gone homo. The
Lincoln Journal locates thus far : "II
wo doomed it good policy wo woulc
like to give the guard's name who
wiped blood from his bayonet. It
might surprise many of the Journal's
readers in Bonnet. We were an eye
witness to the scone , and know whal
wo aay on it. " The correspondent
who writes this from Omaha signs his
name " \Valt" and if ho is as unrelia
ble in this statement as in the most
of his account of tlio allair , 1m would
bo of average knoweldgo with most of
Nio o who have testified before the
ooronor'a jury.
WOKK HTOM'KD.
Work on the dump was practically
ceased Yesterday. The statement in
yesterday's BEE that about ono hun
dred men were nt work , was given
upon the authority of ono of the of.
ficere , bu it was afterwards proven to
bo untrue. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon -
noon only thirteen men nnd nine
teams could be soon from the bank
above the dump , and they were not
pushing work at a very rigorous rate ,
Yogterday about
twenty-five men
went to work. Among them , however
over , were two members of the Oina-
Iia Protective Libor union , who had
! ? i nPP.lioati ° n for employment
Monday , Aa soon as they were able to
got among the mon , they commenced
doing Borne ollbctivo talking , the re-
Bult of which was that at uoon , all
ot the men except three stopped work
nnd rcfuiod to refused to resume again.
This practically etops the progress of
operations on the dump and the ques
tion which the the Labor union now
want j the contractor to solve i ,
"What ore you qolug to do about it ? "
ProBidont Walsh , of the Labor
union , called at THE JEB office yas-
.erday und requeatod it to bo stated
Hmt Hon. John 0. Oowin and Col. E.
F. Smytho had IrW-n retaine' b _ lho
executive comnriUM pncar jn tno

nmiiifttir.n , which ww nxed for Thurs-
nay , ffill probably not be. held , as the
action 01 th& gt-Aiiu jury will render it
unnecessary ,
The 1) . it JL. ofllcials are reported
to have denied that the men who quit
work yesterday on the dump , did so
beciu ( i they were influenced by the
strik-crs. They are stated to have
'
o'j'it work for another reason and that
they will resume operations this morn *

The following resolutions were

meeting of the Labor Union !
Whereas , The firm of West &
Fritschcr , cigar manufacturers , did
upon the llth day of March , 1882 ,
discharge from their employ all mo'.7i
bers of the Cigar Makers' 'union
therefore bo it
Resolved , That the Omaha Laboi
Protective union , in mass mooting as
semblcd , cJo hereby declare the ac
tion ot said firm os detrimental to
justice and labor ; therefore bo it further
thorResolved
Resolved , That wo withdraw nl
patronage from saloon keepers , pro
cers , or anyone OBO ! selling cigars
manufactured by said firm.
The following is the report of the
committee on arbitration , which was
accepted and adopted :
REFUSAL TO COJU'ROMISB.
To O.Tlcors nii'l Members ot the Omaha
Protuctlvt Union :
GENTLEMEN Your committee , op
pointed for the purpose of arbitration
respectfully report :
That they waited on Mr. Stephenson -
son ; told him they were willing to
malco legitimate and fair concessions ,
and to moot the other side- half way
and compromise the mutter and save
the city from the presence of troops
and even the dungur of trouble. Thai
wo were not strikers ourselves , but
workers receliuc'more wnges thai
tlioao demanded by thuso out on the.
strike. Ho positively declined to
arbitrate , compromise or udjust 01
any terms or make any concessions
wholevor. Ho finally stated that ho
was unwilling to pay more than § 1.G (
per duy , nnd that ho would only cm-
ploy about twenty-five shovolors niiei
titty teams at that figure and nothing
else , as his contract would not justify
the payment of nny more , and your
committee withdrew.
Your committee are reliably in
formed that Mr. Mattin Kennedy has
oilorcd to take the contract oil' Mr.
Stophonson's hands or from the B. & ,
M. railroad company , or n'lybodj
else , lor the same figures , und pay the
men $1.7D per day , and the teams
§ 3.50. Understanding that a com
uutteo had waited on the smelting
works this morning , and that the pro
prietorfl had taken the s.imu position
us they had before , we deemed it un
necessary to call on them. X'our com
mittee having consulted eminent
counsel in this city on the subject ,
earnestly .recommend that this labor
protective union appoint a committee ,
two of the members to bo prominoni
attorneys appointed by the president ,
with power to compromise this trouble
by splitting the difference between
the pi ices olfured and the prices de.
mandcd.
Behoving this to be fair and cquit
able and a move that will , command
the respect and confidence oi
the community , save thestato and cily
great expense , and also terminate the
present condition of affairs , wo have
nothing further to offer , subscribing

MA YOU BOYD'S POSITION.
In n somewhat extended conversa.
tion with a reporter of THE BEE last
evening , Mayor Boyd was very cour
teous , and explained quite fully his
reasons for the call of military to the
city , and stated what ho would do in
the future. The mayor said that ho
had hesitated for sometime before
Bonding the disp itch to the governor
for n-stsbtanco. When he did BO it
wan at the solicitation of n largo num
ber of the most influential and intel
ligent bus-mesa men of the city. He
requested , however , ho stated , only
the presence of two or three regular
companies of regulars , and BUg esttei
that the military vould neiihor bo
ncctasary nor of advantage to the
preservation of order and protection
of property. Ho thought that it wna
for the best interests of the workingmen -
men of the city in the future that no
further opportunity for a breach ol
the peace bo allowed. Wlum the
militia were sent , hpwevor , ho was
unable to do otherwise than accept
their services.
Regarding his intentions as to hold
ing of the troops ho said : When the
laboring men assure me that there
will lie no disturbance , and that any
man or number of mon cin go to
work where , when , and at what prices
they please , then the troops will bo
withdrawn , * and not till then. I hope
this will cuma speedily , but until that ,
if it bo a year , the military n ill bo re
tained on duty. I shall alao prohibii
any processions or demonstrations of
any character that are not confined to
ono place , as I believe tlioy are pro
ductive of evil , and afford opportunity
to the lawless element to stir up
trouble and promote riotous proceed
ings. "
The mayor uaid also that ho hat
acted in accordance with his best
judgment and conscientious construc
tion of his duties and his oath.
TUB VPNBBAL ,
All members of the Omaha L. P.
U. , will assemble in a body at Turner

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Three Year Old Boy Shot
Through the Head.
Uauslntr His Instant Death ,
A terrible accident occurred this
afternoon , just befora 1 o'clock , in
the roar of Elondrickson's store , corner
of Ninth and Loavonworth streets , by
which n bullet was sent through the
head of a little child of Peter Hanson ,
killing him almost instantly.
Nols Christian Anderson , a Dane ,
about 20 years old , was cleaning a
Colt's old-fashioned navy revolver ,
near n window at his homo , which is
in the rear of the obovo mentioned
store , nnd the little boy , who was
only between 2 and 3 years old , was
up on a footstool on the outside to
look on. Anderson was whirling the
cjlindar of the weapon , not knowing
it wai loaded , when the hammer
slipped from his thumb , and discharged -
od it , the ball passing through
ho window and hitting the
child in the left eye , and passing
through came out about the center of
the buck of the head. Thofaco was bad
ly cut by the broken glass , and around
the bullet wound is the marks of
burnt powder. The weapon was a
very largo one , with a barrel eight
inches long , and carries a 45-calibro
ball. The ono that killed the boy
was the only ono in the revolver.
Officer Hill , who was near the scene
of the accident , immediately took
charge of tlnj mutter ) and telephoned
to Coroner Jacobs.
Anderson is thoroughly frightened.
Ho has been in this country about
two yearo , and speaks but little En
glish. The Hansons live next door.
The little boy'a mother is crazed
with grief , and it was impossible to
Irarn any further particulars from her
concerning the nfiUir. The boy lived
but a.few seconds after the accident.
The coroner's jury inves'igatod ' the
case pretty thoroughlyand came to the
verdict that the boy came to his death
through accidental discharge of a pis
tol. The old story "Didn't know it
was loaded.
THREE HANDSO WE DISPLAYS
The Ladles Have a Treat at Three
Prominent Store Opening's.
Many and varied were the hand
some specimens of feminine headgear
which set off the- pretty faces of a
crowd of ladies at each of the three
brilliant store openings held on Far-
nam street between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streota List ovnning. Of
these "openings" but ono was strictly
so , that being S. P. Morse & Co.'a
now store on the south side of Fur-
nani. The large double store was
brilliantly lighted and wus most mag
nilicuntly decorated. In one window
waa a gorgeous display of
hosiery and fancy wear , while
tlio other ono was resplend
ent with many pieces of beautiful and
costly dreas goods. Within about
twenty courteous clerks were in at
tendance to explain and show the
splendid stock of goods. Nothing
was Bold und the delighted visitors
were obliged to restrtin their impulse
to puichaso until to-day. Among the
other decorations of the store was a
magnificent floral horecshoo , which
hung over the foot of the broad flight
oE stairs leading to the salesroom
above.
No Jess beautifully arranged , though
not on so large a scale , was Hick-
man's , a few doora further east. One
window was entirely taken up by a
profusion of beautiful artificial
flowers , which were arranged in a
mo.it luithetic manner. Mr. Hick-
man waa at the door to bid all visitors
welcome , and funnvull. Tlio display ,
especially of artificial flowers , among
which were u gorgeous pillow of roses
and u handsome stand of plants ,
us natural us life , was most beautiful.
On one side of the ntnre were arranged
the hosiery , lace , gluvo and other de
partments. Each was presided over
by un irresistibly attractive lady clerk ,
all of whom were anzioun to show the
goods. Hero also nothing was sold
during the evening.
Across the street Samuel Burns'
splendid Btoro was tlio third object
of universal attraction. Rare , costly
and beautiful aotts of China and
crockery ware adorned all of the stands.
This storeiwas , like the others , bril
liantly illuminated , and the taste used
m arranging the display reflected
great credit upon Mr. Burns and his
assistants.
WORTHY OF PRAISE.
