of bia loft log horribly lacerating it and
tearing the ileah from the bone near the
thigh and all the way down to hia foot and
cutting off hia heel.
The wounded man was taken to St.

STHAXOUNd THKIll VICTIM ,
Ono of the boldest and most daring
robberies attempted for sumo time in
this city took place last ovoniug about
eight o'clock , on Casa street , between
Eighteenth nnd Nineteenth.
About that time Mr , Milt Barlow , of
the United States National bank , nnd a
driver named Caaa , from the stnblca of
Charles Mentor , were going to the house
of the former when they heard near St.
Catherine's Academy the moans of some
ouo as if iti distress. Stopping to listen ,
they hcardn weak cryof "Help ! " ' -Uclpl"
coming out of the darkness. Going
up to the place from which the cry
came , they wore startled by two mon
rising to their feet and Hoeing from
thorn in the darkness. Shortly after
ward n third arose who said ho had been
sot upon by the two canpituj mon.
Mr. Barlow and the driver started
nfter the fugitives , following them at
aomo distance behind until they reached
the alloy between Cans and California , in
the rear of the Swedish Lutheran
church , where they distanced their
pursuers and escaped in the
darkness. They then returned and found
tliofj unfortunate mtu. in the house
of a friend , across the street from where
the attempted robbery took place. The
victim a young man whoso name could
not bo learned had boon subjected to
rough uaago nt the hands of his assail
ants , being nearly strangled.
What is astonishing about the whole
affair is the fact that while these high
waymen were struggling with their in
tended victim several persons were pass
ing along the street on the opposite sldo ,
not even hearing his cries for help or
preventing the robbers from there accom
plishment of their purpose.
TIIE JtOBDEKY Ol' LAXdlHl.
Last night about nine o'clock Joseph
Longer , a Bohemian tailor , was hold up
by thrco men under the railroad bridge
on Thirteenth street and robbed of fifty
dollars in money and a silver watch and
chain. Mr. Langer had been visit
ing sorao friends in Bohemian
town and was strolling loisurly towards
Frita Wirth's hotel , where ho resides ,
when the attack was made. Not satin-
lied with robbing the unfortunate man the
robbers gave him a severe beating ren
dering him insensible , evidently
with the Idea ] of preventing him
from calling for assistance. It appears ,
according to the statement made by Mr.
Langor that two of the men seized him
by the throat , nearly strangling him ,
while the other man kicked
him in the stomach and then
robbed him. After committing
the robbery and cruelly chastising their
victim the miscreants iled. Mr. Langor ,
who Is in the employ of Frank Ramgo , is
a highly respectable citizen , and is
highly esteemed by his national brethren
of Omaha.
THE OOUET OF INQUIRY ,

Yesterday afternoon the council com-
mittco on police consisting of Messrs.
Bechol , Ford and Thr.ino resolved itself
into a court of inquiry to investigate the

The firat matter taken up was the com
plaint of Charlea Flock who had commu
nicated to the council thnt ho had ro-
coivcd a severe beating fit the hands of n
drunken prisoner while in the cily jail.
The evidence adduced allowed that while
the turnkey Tom Oormick was engaged
in making preparations to put the prison
er in hio cell Fleck came in and was struck
by him biforo C'ormick could'interfero.
The cano against Policeman Hyde ,
charged with drunkenness , waa the next
case considered. The captain of the
force , the marshal and Bovoral other
witnoflses gave testimony , llydo him
self did not seriously contend against the
charge lodged against him , hut argued jn
mitigation of the ouonsothitidrunkonnoBi
did not interfere with the proper per
formance of hw duties , that it happened
about the time ho wan to leave 1m beat
and that this wai the firat time ho had
boon guilty of thla infraction of police
regulations.
The committee adjourned without
coming to n conclusion In any of the
cases. It will meet thia morning again
at ! ) o'clock at which time the ciysoa of

ing drunk on their beats will bo taken
up.

ALIIIOX , Nob. , September 22 , ' 84.
To the Editor of TIIK BEK.
I notice in your issue of the 10th ult. ,
a communication eiinod by ono 0. H.
Roberts , In which the writer attompta to
carry the Impression that the Albion
preaa is subsidised , and the Albion post
oflico run in a loose and careless manner.
Aa to the firat , wo care nothing , but the
public might possibly attach some importance
tanco to the latter charge if nllowod to go
unrofutcd. The fncta in the case are
these :
1st , C. 11. Roberts was ao intoxicated
while in Albion that ho could not reason
ably bo expected to know what did actu
ally occur.
Ui. After Mr. Roberta had indicted
nt Icaat n doan iutorviowa upon us , and
wo had become reasonably familiar with
hia story , ho intimated that Rico inuat
pay him something or "suffer the consequences
quences ; " that president Arthur's cabi
net were Intimate chums of his ; that ho
controlled the senators , and "had" Rose
water , and that "by the eternal , ho
would bounce Rico. " Wo thereupon
told him in pretty plalu language that
hia little bchomo for "blood inonoy"
wouldn't win , nnd advised him co go
hence without date.
2nd. Mr. Roberts . never ofl'orod the
Argus any comimmic.ition. Ilo did
however make a. verbal complaint nnd
wo told him to formulate hia grievances ,
put them in writing , und if they amount
ed to anything ho could have all the space
in the Argua desired. Ho never did so ,
but indulged in verbal and rambliugcom-
plaints ngainat postmaster Rico. Aa near
as wo can learn the important ( I ) poutal
card referred to was , by error put in
honker Roberta" box and returned by
him aa noon as ho discovered the niiu-
take :
Mr. Rico ia an efficient pontmnstor nnd
gives general satisfaction. JIo has , nt
nis own expense fitted up ono of the lin-
est pnatcJIicoii west of Omaha , and tlio
13ii : : docs injustice to nn honest and cap
able pfliciul by giving publicity to such
outragooua charges , unless they are ac
companied by something moro substan
tial than 0. U. Roberta' word.

A fiuo entertainment was presented
yesterday evening at SU Philomeius hall
for the benefit of the Altar service of the
church. The programme consisted of a
concert by the choir of St. 1'hllomcnas'
church nnd a humorous looturo by 1'rof.
Phillips , entitled , "Tho Model llus-
band nnd Wife. " The professor is n
very pleasant aponkor and kept his nu
dicnco in good humor for over an hour
with his descriptions of happy nnd un
happy homca , true nnd false love , true
and lalso marriage. Ho has evident
ly been n very close ob
server of human nature , judging by
the accurate way ho depleted courtship ,
marriagoandtho mistakes thnt people are
liable tomnko in selecting a lifocompanton.
At the conclusion of the lecture , ho saiit
that ho would give thoin an Irishman's
blessings , which was this , "May yor
aowls all bo in heaven n fortnight before
the divil Hilda out that yo nro dead , "
The musical part of the entertainment
by the choir of the church was excellent ,
the ladies and gentlemen who sang vroro
repoitcdly applauded , nnd St. Phllo.

become fully aroused , and to-day prepa
rations nro compiled and the specifica
tions completed for
TUB CITY \VATEIl WOIIK8 ,
to bo put in operation on or before the
tenth of November next. Thin ia the
moat practical achemp I have heard of for
any town , as the entire oxponao docs not
exceed that of aupplying wolla for the
culinary and other purposes demanded by
a young city ,
Tlio proposed plan is to rnako a largo
well on the bottom land near the depot ,
there erect a big windmill which pumps
the water into two largo resorvora of 1000
barrels each. These tanka are fitted with
filtcro and are located upon the hill east
of town , thus giving 1115 foot fall.
From thoao tanks the contractors are
to lay 3,000 feet of mains thr < % h the
principal streets , with hydrants located
at convenient places for uao Ircaso of
fire , the fall being auflicont to glvo force
to throw a two inch stream far above
the tallest buildings. The mains are to
bo tapped by individual pipes for domes
tic uao.
THE CITY or WISNEIl
Is the Inaugurator and aolo owner of th
project. The whole thing is contracted
for SI , 000. 00 and Mr. A. L. Strang , of
Omaha is the contractor. Work
will bo commenced at once.
It is estimated that a supply of 1,000
gallons per hour will auflico.
In looking over the town I notice many
now residence buildings and many moro
are contemplated. The business part of
the city has boon greatly improved by the
grading of the streets , laying of now and
substantial sidewalks , planting of useful
and ornamental shade trees , etc. , etc. It
is safe to say that business under the nus-
uices of the wido-awako , go-ahead busi
ness men and citizens generally which it
contains , will in no distant day bo uni

The United States Treasury depart-
nonthna just now taken the pauper
emigration bull by the tail ; two yoara ago
when impositions of this character were
minted out vigorously the department
night have taken the animal by the
iiorns. However , lot 113 bo thankful it
isn't a mule , and that the government is
big enough to awing the other animal by
Iho Ciiudnl end. Collector Robertson , of
Now York has received instructions thnt
really show symptoms of shutting ofi the
American dumping ground for foreign
refuse. Heretofore the most energetic
action of Federal and local authorities
has boon no more effective than the
customary sign-board on vacant lots
"Place no rubbish here under penalty oi
the law. " Like this description of indufi-
nito threat the sign on Cnatlo Garden has
accomplished little or nothing. Now it
really looks as though the customs au
thorities andthojboardof commissioners of
emigration meant buaineaa. The ono
will have every vessel bearded and exam
ined for pauporo , nnd'tlio other will do-
maud a bond from each atoamahip com
pany In guarantee that paupora shall 1m
fed while in Castle Garden nnd returned
whence they came.
It is intended to enforce the same rules
n other sea sports , so that the Board of
Guardians of the poor in inland cities and
counties may look forward to the time
when a largo percentage uf poor house
paupers and applicants fur outdoor relief
will not bo recent arrivals from abroad ,
ns has boon the cnao in a marked degree
in the last thrco years. When it became
known positively that local poor sociotioa
and boards in Europe , were systematical
ly shipping the halt , lame and blind to
Americaund that in numberless instances
persons in fair circumstances were send
ing hither their dopondunt relatives , it
was the duty of the government to
adopt prompt and ellicient measures
against the imposition. When it is soon
at the beginning of an evil that it will
probably grow beyond endurance the
proper action is to squelch it at once.
This country is willing to receive all
comers from abroad who emigrate logiti
m&loly , but it is not u "dump , " nor yet
a coas pee ] , into which Kuropo may deposit
posit its gurlmgo and nastinusa. Local
authorities tmould co-oporato energeti
cally with the seaport ollipials in return
ing all paupjrj. ThU city could afford
to pay the pansngo of such undoairablo
persons rather than bo at the oxpcnao of
their maintenance for half a year.

AVadhiiiRlon Star.
In so extensive a building as the gov
ernment printing ofllco the largest ea-
tablishmont of the kind in the world
filled with valuable material , and con
taining within its walla every day ever
two thousand operatives , the ncccuslty of
extraordinary precautions for the nafoty
of life and property from doatrucliou by
fire is apparent , particularly as the build
ing is not a fire proof structure. The
present head of the ollico , Mr. Sterling
P. Ilounda , who ia n practical business
man with great executive ability and who
has had experience in the west as a fireman -
man , when he took charge of tlio govern
ment printing a few years ago recogni/.od
this fact ; and at tlio present time there ia
probably no butter equipped building in
the country for preventing lo a of lifo
or property by a conflagration , Before
Mr. Hoiindu took charge the principal
moans of oscnpo provided for the inmates
of the iirmonuo building were from stair-
wayu in a coujilo of towers in addition to
thu ordinary Htairways.
Now a plentiful supply of water can bo
turned on rach floor at a moment'ii notice
from the nix HUnd plpou , which run up
near the ladders , and uoctiona of hoaoaro
kept nt hand , fitted with diechurgo pipoi ,
and to take charge of each outlet or auc
tion of hoao in an oinoigenoy there js nn
organized force consisting of a captain
and lioutotunta , with a suitable number
of iiiun , all eoluctod from the employes
There is alao on each tluor a lire i-xtii-
[ 'iiiolior , in charge of a captain and lieu
tenant , and on the occasion of the burn
ing of the alablo on the promises some
months ago , Ihoso were found to work
well.
well.Thoro
There Is an iron tramway running en
tirely around the building , with iron
cngca secured with wire ropes , lo aid in
conveying from the upper windows any
person , who illicit in case of a fire below -
low , have the moans of their escape cut
( II. This tramway was designed by Oon
Meiers , niul the experiments mrulo with It
have been entirely satisfactory. In nddl-
to thn ordinary fire escapes there are two
ciwviM escape * , reaching from the upper
llonr to the ground , nunas ia well known
these have born satisfactorily tested BO * -
oral times.
In hia last report Mr. llnmda say a :
"Biuaand arrows nro also provided ,
which would onnblo lifo lines to bo shot
or thrown through the upper windows.
Up to Iho time theao changes were made
the entire otllco was supplied with only
a three-inch connection with the water
malni , which barely gave aulllciont wa
ter for daily uao , and waa wholly inadequate -
quato for the purpoaon. But by the kindly
co-oporation of Mr. Edward Clark , ar
chitect of the capitol , the ollico haa now
moro than double the former supply , and
quito ample to render the now fire appa
ratus in every way elliciont. All the
outaido doors were originally hung ao as
to open toward the inside of the building
and in caao of a panic , with the pressure
against them , it would have been Im
possible to have opened them. The
hinges have been changed so ns lo open
either way , and ogreas cannot thereby bo
obstructed.
Besides oil thono nmplo facilities for
the safe egress of employes in cnao of
sudden alarm of fire , the entire force of
females has been divided up Into com
panion of forly each , ami each company
in charge of a captain , with several aids ,
and in coao of alarm the companies are
taken out by designated fire-escapes ,
under the charge and aid of .tho mon ap
pointed for the purpose. The first trial
of the system domnnttratod the fact that
Iho bindery , containing about five hun
dred women nnd nearly ono hundred
irmi , was emptied In leas than ono minute -
ute ; and it ia believed that after moro
trials the entire oflico can bo cleared in
leas than two n.mutes. It , therefore ,
may be falriy stated that for the first
time in the history of the ofiico it la
reasonably safe from fire , and its om-
ployoa from danger of loss of lifo or limb
caused by a atampedo or want of sullici
out ogress.
R There have boon teat alarms rung aitico
iho present system was adopted , and it
was found that every man or woman
know his or her placo. By a tent once
made in the bindery it was found that
the folding-room , containing ever five
hundred operatives , was cleared inaido of
ono minute. The female oporativeshow-
ever , found that in going down the fire
oscapoa there were some "Pooping Toms"
on the ground , and in subsequent tests
asked that canvas bo placed on Iho ladder
before they \7ould make the descent.
In each room there ia a captain with
throe lieutenants , and theao direct the
others in caao of an alarm , but the work
ing force consists of about forty mon to a
section. Probably no bettor trial of the
system was ever given than that of last
month , whan a partition on which oil
from the bindery had dropped took firo.
The flumes wora extinguished when
Chief Engineer Cronin was within a fnw
yards of the ECOUC , and neither ho nor
Mr. Hounds know of it until it was all
uvoruo general alarm having boon given.
For some years it lias boon thought
that the old portion ot the building was
unsafe in conscquonco of the great weigh
on it , but by exorcising duo care and re
moving the surplus material to The Con
gressional Glebe building , there has not
boon for some time past any danger , the
officers keeping in this portion of the
structure at any ono time the smallest
posaiblo amount of inatorial necessary for
the work in hand.
Supt. Ilounda' ollico ia connected by
telephone with , every part of the bnild
ing , and in case of fire ho would bo in
formed of it at onco.
