Clark , general manager oi the Mijwankeo & St. Paul , is a great lovei of the innocent game called "seven-lip. This gentleman , who has no importanl business in Omaha , has been stopping at the Paxton for several days past. air. Clark was sitting in a half dreamy state at one of the registers in the rotunda , where ho was met by a Iiu $ reporteryes- terday morning , who asked deferentially : "Is there any truth m tlio rumor , Mr. Clark , that your road is about to build an extension into the northwest ? " "Three times , " ejaculated the railroad magnate. "How's that ? " asked the newspaper man. "High , Jack and the game , " respond cdMr. Clark. "Idou'tunderstand ' 3-011"said there porter. "Didn't I make thrco times ? Why , there's the ace , and the jack , and 1 have over forty for game , " ho exclaimed in an unnatural voice. The reporter unable to understand the pertinency of his responses , plied him witli the quofjtion : "How is it , Mr. Clark , of all the trunk lines your's is the only one that has a station on this side of the river ? " "I beg , " was the insidious reply. "Do you think the other lines will como over hero after while ? " was the next interrogatory. "O , you give mo one , do yon ? That makes me four ? " ho exclaimed. "Your road has not suffered much from the recent storms ? " the reporter questioned. "lam out" the manager shouted. "I begged yon on the ace and queen and I made the high , game and caught your jack , " and he rapped in triumph with his knncklcs on the warm radiator. "Your answers are unintelligible to me , " said the reporter. "Why , don't you see I am out , " ho re plied.

But I believe that n few wcoks moro will BOO it straightened out and in competent and practically interested hands.

" TJM3 OIjl ) INVlXOJlHjKS. ItcorKiitilzatton of the J. M. Tltiirston Hose Team. Jerome Pentxol , who lias for several years managed the Thurston ho o team , is preparing to reorganize the old invinci- blcsand pulthem through with a triumph this season. The eye of every foot-run nor and fireman in America is turned toward the great tourmnnont to bo held at Now Orleans on the 4th , Oth and Otli of March and vast preparations are being made for the contests on the programme. Mr. Peuts'.cl intends to take thoTliurstons there and is now calling together the old anagc , John Hoach W. Hughes. and John Farrish , as well as tlio old champion couplers , Webb and Steclc. Those are all local residents , but can. nevertheless , combine to make a splendid team. It is Mr. Pentad's purpose to enter the great tjireo hundred yard dash for the championship of the world and § 100 , the half mile hub and hub race for § 300 , as well as a number of other contests , aggro- Sating in prizes some live or six hundred ollars. -rnuitSToxs lunnr.D OUT. It was discovered last night that the convention at Seward which elevated Chief Duller to the dignity of president , at the same time declared a shut out against the Thurstons. Why this part of the proceedings was not made public , but left to a leak to reach the people , docs not appear. Thus have the jealousies and envious bickerings which sprang up during the tournament of ' 81 , hold in tins city , been perpetuated. An artiole printed in tlieso columns some few davs ago has aroused comments from several quarters where a slur was imputed in the words. The BEH in touching upon all matters of sport whererein the cities of the fetato were engaged never failed to recog nize its position as a state journal and treat all comers with fairness. Good humored jests have been printed , but no intention to hurt feelings has over been entertained. It -understood that the Thurstons wcro barred because the team comprised professional runners hired to win prizes. Two years ago such was the case but who knew during the convention what was to bo the membership this year. The list is printed above ana made public for tlio first time. The notion of the association at this time may not have been hasty but it looks that way , and something should perhaps bo done toward rectifying the in justice done Omaha's representative hose team. Mr. Pontzol was seen last night , and although ho was very indignant ho was confident that the lock-out could bo an nulled. "It is an attempt to shut Omaha out of the contests of the season and deprive her of the laurels she would bo sure to win. 1 propose to go to Now Orleans at all events and enter the team in the best contests. I will take such creden tials as the city council , the mayor and the local press will give mo , and defy the lock-out. It is an ugly and unfair piece ot business , anil I know that the team will have the sympathy of this commu nity and nil those not interested in con tinuing jealous animosities. " 1 > EVOUKKD HIS PANTS. A DOR With a' Decided Taste for Breeches. Ycstordaymorniug a wcll-drcs = cd j'oung man canto into police court and approached preached the desk of the presiding gen ius , Judge Stonberg. "Well , what can I do for you to-day ? " asked the judge. Thcro was a silent look of agony on the young man's face , which deepened and intensified as ho went on to toll his sad , sad tale. Of how , while passing Seventeenth and California bt reels , a havago dog had attacked him ami torn out a yanl-wido section from the con- grossionul district of his pants , how ho had Hod precipitately , the dog hanging to him with desperately tightening grip , and how finally by ono superhuman effort ho had shaken off the canine appendage and fled precipitately across lots to the city Jail. ' 'What's your name ? " asked the judge. "Never mind my name , " replied the unfortunate , baoking up against the wall , "I want that dog killed. " Judge Stonberg agreed to have the ope ration performed , and deputized Officer Put Mostyn to act as lord nigh execution er. That officer wont out to the place named by the man who had been bitten , and found the dog. Mostyu drew his revolver and fired at the canine as , rcd-eyoa and foaming , it advanced toward him. The shot took ef fect , but only for a moment did the dog stagger. It prepared for another rush , hut before it could got intooloio quarters Oflloor Mostyn had emptied two more chambers into its body and it fell dead. tlOSt Hlri W. A. Parkhurst , the civil engineer superintending the on6trnctiin of the now Union Pacific bridge at f'ais ' point , and who broke a leg coasting on Dodge btrecl about a month ago , yesterday sub mitted to the amputation of the fiacturcd limb. Drs , Summers , Bridges and Graddy performed the operation * As sincerely as Mr , Parkhurst's many friends will to- iiloro his mlsforluno , tlio knowledge that it will save his lifo , which has boon so closely threatened for several weeks past , will bo of. some relief. Failed oC the Contract. John I. Ueiiiok yesterday began suit in the district court agaiiut John K. Otten- stcin and wife to compel them to return deeds to certain properties , for failure to [ perform contract. The property ut suit Is valued at § i.100. ) HOMI3 STAOK TII > HITS' . Pfrmfn-.Tnck Attached for iliclr lion til -Snow Itoitnd Thcntrlcnlfl , Ktc < A suit In attachment before Judge Ifclsloy was Instituted yesterday against the Firmln-JnckC'om.edy company for $100 for board anil lodging by tlio hotel where they lodged. The attach ment , based on the ground of iiou-rosl- deuce , was levied on their theatrical , property. Firmin-Jaek is composed of John Jack and Annie Firtnln , his wife. The com pany comprised a half dozen people , and lias been doing business from a miscella neous repertory at the People's theater for I wo or thrco weeks back. It has been cold weather for show trafllc as well nsfor ,1)10 ) rc t of the world and where "FalstafT" has failed to pay , "Tho Two Orphans" has lost money and "Tho Lady of L ons" has proven ruinous. How much cmbar- rasped Mr , .lock's company may bo is not exactly known. Constable Kilo and Jacob Gable took the company's baggage last Highland put it in a snfo place. Ui'foro this last act Jack waddled out to the front of the stage and proceeded to vent his spleen on all his enemies. Ho began by abusing Mr. Hurt , of the house management , employing such expletives as "boot-black , " 'Hough"and othorsuch chaste phrases. He thou sailed into iMlgorfon and scored the ponderous con stable in round terms. Next ho launched into the. press and heaped vituperations upon the head of the reporter who re corded th 'attachment suit in the even ing edition. Ho bitterly commented upon the fact that while ho was playing so nicely during his engagement ho received no press notices , but as soon as ho got into trouble ho was published to the world. It might be well to inform Mr. Jack that the legal action of yesterday was the first occasion on which ho merited public notice. After rounding up tlio news papers ho indulged in general abusiveness - ness and concluded with 11 rather grac ious turn in announcing the appearance of Sully as Muldoon to-night. Jack was chasing around yesterday afternoon trying to get small advances from several citizens' with the promise that ho would star the state and , coming back flush , would meet all his local obli gations.t Whether the distinguished star can obtain these favors does not appear. He , however , ordered his company to re port ready to leave for Fremont on Sat urday. SXOW HOUND TIIKATIUCALS. The Harrison-Gourlny company which "skipcd by tlio light of the moon" at the Opera house last night arrived yesterday morning. The company shared a portion of enjoyment found by tlio luckless pas sengers in the recent blockade on Kan sas Pacific. They were in Ellis , Kansas , for two days anil yielding to the solicita tion of the snow-bound passengers gave n performance in tlio school-house of the town. It was a great show beyond a doubt. The house was on the outskirts of the town and the hall was a room with an eight foot ceiling in the ba c- incut. There was a crowded house at lif ty ecu Is a head however , and the per formance was rattled through in fine shape and hugely enjoyed by the care worn passengers. A locomotive's bull's eye had been brought up from the round house , and alter it had served to illumine the en trance it was taken inside and converted into the ' 'foot lights. " The dressing space was limited , but the company suc ceeded in "makiiig up" and holding their clothes on. They deny the report widely circulated from Denver that the Union Pacific mocked the plight of the passen gers and lent no hand to their assistance , and assort that the railway company did all in its power under the circumstances to minister to tlio comfort of the block aded travelers. THE PAllI.OK MATCH. Harry Mann , the manager of Evans & Hooy's "Parlor Match , " probably the finest piece ever written by Hoyt , is in the city arranging for the appearance of this company ncro next weefc. Ho reports a tremendous run of business at Chicago where for the fifth time the play lias ap peared. "The Parlor Match" appeared last year and everybody remembers the great act of Evans , llocy and Jennie Yeamans. This last is now in a "Parlor Match company No. 2 , " touring the south , and has becnsuccecdedin the main troup by Miss French , an equally clever soubrctte.

In the midst of all this snow and cold weather , the school board is considering plans and specifications for now additions and buildings to bo erected during the year 1880. .Mr.Conoycr informed a reporter yester day that ono of the projects which the board will carry out this year is tlio erection of four-room additions to the Centre and Lake schools. Tlio necessity of'additional room in the latter school is becoming moro and moro painfully ap parent. It is now so crowded that no moro scholars can bo accommodated , and children in tlio northern suburbs uro compelled to walk in some cases two miles to the school rooms down town. It is estimated that these additions will cost about $ (1,000 ( each. Plans are being drawn up for a school building in West Omaha , near Hanscom park , to cost about $20,000. , The build ing will probably bo erected this year. The erection of a now building on West Curnlng street is also being agitated. Plans and specifications for the structure will shortly bo presented to the board of trade , and it is probable that the present year will witness its completion. The pcoplo in that section of tlio city are clamoring for better school facilities , and the general sentiment is , as Secretary Conoycr says , that they should bo accom modated. The Castollar street school building is now receiving finishing touches. It will bo ready for occupation next month. When it is considered that tlio board will also pay out $25,000 , in addition to other buililiiipr expenditures , for tlio now city hall building , it will bo scon that there will bo a pretty lively strain on its purse strings this'yoar. Prof. Bumann and his eighty odd pupils of the manual training class are now studying the mysteries of intricate 3arvlng , The jmpils are making aston ishing progress in tlio use of the plainer tools , and are nearly if not quite ready for lathe work.

Business. Judge Stcnberg had a very slim docket yesterday morning. Charles Poter&on , known as' "Cuming Street Charley , " .was arraigned on the shargo of drunkenness. Ho was re leased. Charles Morton , n printer , who had been playing cards in a low colored dive , mil ordered $0 worth of drinks without laying for them , was HkewU'o released , IB there was no 'ono to appear against him. INTO THE BOSOM < OP NATURE , A Trip Down the Oaissoa of thq Now Union Pacific IBricfgo , How It Peels Under JliRh Alt'Pres sure Sixty I'Yet Unrtrr Oroiuul . A ttcp6rtcr's VMt. Tlio caisson , on which tlio Iowa shore- pier of ( lie now bridge h belli ; ? sunk , Ims reached n depth of Mxty-Ilvg foot. The workmen are now ilclviifg through' stratum of blue mud , Which soundings show to bo fourteen feet iibovo bed-rock where the caisson will llnally rest. It will require yol sonic two wcoks or more to complete the work , and those who like mi experience jitit Milliciontly dan- Rorons to bo an adventure , ought to siiine the opportunity of making the de scent. A reporter for the UBI : went down yes terday , and as ho lives to tell the talc , that should bo guarantee sulllelont foi1 the perfect safety of the trip , and should oll'ei' inducements to others to enjoy tlio fun. The trip is fun and re quires on the part of the adventurer but the hardihood of a girl to brave , no mat tcr how great the terrors may bo painted rom without. The caisson is located over on tlio fowa shore right at the i'dgo of the river and in the boundless waste of snow and ice looks as though it were fairly in the mid dle of the stream. A brisk walk of eight or ten minutes from the Union 1'acilio dool | ) will take you there , or the dummy train can bo chartered for twenty-live cents at regular hours to stop right at the spot. Quite a community has sunin ; nn about the scone of the giant labor. Shelter houses for men and machinery are along the shore , and a long tramway on which a pump house stands and a rail way track runs , has been pushed out in thi ) middle of the river. The workmen toil and sing , the engines pull' and the machinery roars in such busy fashion that tlio spectator would not imagine that under this plant of industry , the river rnshes.dark and swift to the sea , etcetera , lint it docs for all that ami two feet of ice disguises the fact. Everyone draws a mental picture of objects read and heard of but never .scon , and this art-work of the brain is seldom faithful to tlio subject. It is safn to .say , liqwover , that he who has made up Ins mind as to what a caisson looks like will receive a startling set-back when the ob jcct greets his eyes. The exterior aspect of the caisson ( at cast the particular one in questionwhen ) : hc work has reached a depth of sixty feet , resembles a stone pyramid about twenty feet high , out of the top of which iirojeets a cliinmoy-liko funnel about two loot in diameter , and a smaller pipe from which constantly pours ti stream of black Mild dirty water. The pyramid is the ) ier so far as it has been completed ; the ihinmoy is the shaft by which the caisson s reached , and the dirty water is the earth which the men arc removing sixty Odd feet below more of which anon. J'he caisson itself is down in the earth at he depth above quoted. In structure it s much like a boat of strong and heavy oak , and without a deck , tnrned npMilo down , with its gunwales , or edges , of strong iron. It is set ini the desired inol and excavation started in lie earth under it , while a&it sinks men ibovo lay the masonry upon it. One can magino Dtlmt at a depth of sixty feet with stone and concrete piled upon it , lie weight it \ something en ormous. That is true enough , and the inly tiling that holds the ponderous load * rom sinking tlie caisson in a Hash hrough the remaining dirt down to bed oek Is the tremendous air pressure which s pumped in to support the weight , The nir pressure is put in for that purpose , as well as to exclude the water which nigh * ' , drain in , and is not the natural density of the atmosphere at that depth , as many seem to suppose. Dolliii , ; his own elegant apparel the re- ) ortcr accepted the courtesy of a rubber seat , a slouch hat and a pair of hip boots "rom the hands of Air. P. H. Aylward , he principal foreman on the bridge , and iommitting himself to the guidance of Maurice Connolly , as clover a gentleman as over breathed condensed atmosphere in the bosom of the earth , ho started on his perilous journey. Up the halt fin ished pier he clambered and down into the funnel ho followed his guide. The descent is made for fifty feet by an iron ladder , wet , slippery and altogether treacherous. With a stout heart the 10- porter swung from rung to rung until tlio darkness enveloped him and the hum of busy work above was lost to the ear. At last , the descent was completed and the guide opened a small iron door like a furnace lid and the two crept through in to a chamber lighted with an incandes cent lam ) ) and of just snlliciont size to hold thorn both and no more. It was the air lock , and hero the trials of the trip tire concentrated. Another furnace door like the ono through which entrance had been made was on the other side of the chamber , and through its entrance into the caisson was about to bo mado. Some llttlo time must pass , however , before leaving the chamber as the air must bo brought to the pressure it holds in the caisson. Tho'guido reached up and turned a faucet-like arrangement ami thereupon tribulations began , The compressed air from within rushed into the lock with ft hiss and a roar which clmilangos the tumult of Niagara and sensations strange and dreadful seined atonco upon the reporter An alarming poppin" set up within his oars , bharp pains flashed through his head and his brain reeled so that ho staggered back and leaned for support against tno iron armor of the look. Ten minutes of this varying torture wore re quired and then the second doortswiing open , bright lights flashed up , a cool soft air welled from below and relief onnio as the rushing noise ceased. Through the door to another ladder and ten feet down the reporter-ami his guide went and landed at lasti in the caisson , Hero again the electric burners gave full illumiimliori and the men were seen working as briskly as though totally unconscious that every squiiro inch of their bodies' bore a press- tire twenty-three pounds iibovo the nor mal fifteen , and thatn niistiiko on the part of those entrusted with the pumps above might send thcui'donfe to glory and their bodies down to bed-rock. The caisson is thirty/iixi feet long by twuuJy V'hlo and ton "foot in height , so thai there is ample room to move about. Excavation is done with n hose through which is forced a etrongfstfcamof water. Two men steer this -.thing about , and another follows with tlio Suction end of the pump pipe , which draws up the mire made by the stream in the soft earth hence the spout of dirty water above , \ This certainly looks like a slow process of digging , but it is1 the best scheme yet devised , and works down about two feet every day. A force of nine men are in the caisson at ono time , relieving each other with the hose and pipe every few minutes. At the expiration of every two hours' a new shift is sent * down and the old ono goes out for a rust of four hours , after which they return for two hours' moro work , and their day's toil is dono. Thus a man is required to work but four hours out of twenty-four ; and gets $3.50. There uro lifty-niiio men em- ploved in the caioson , and work is never for'a minute , day or night , Sunday or any ether day , suspended , l-roiiuimo to time the ea.is9on with | U great loail of masonry relink , and the attack on the bowels of the earth resumed until rock 1119 WE WILL 1119 In order to close down the stock of Misfits and uncalled for clothing- garments which still remain unsold , offer at astonishingly low prices , FOR THE NEXT Three weeks , ilicre remains Overcoats , Suits , Coals and Vests and Panlnldons which will bo fouiul from inspec tion , superior to anything found outside of the most nrtistic tailoring establishment , and for the coming three . or TWENTY DAYS , We fool iC there is a man in the vicinity of the Onto City who can use clothing , he will find it to his interest to come to lliOFnrnnm street , where lie will find we can Superior made gunucnts at comparatively his own prices , made from the best imported and domestic fabrics in any style man can have made by his own And save him from 75 to 100 per cottfc on each mivcliase.

The visitor's return to tlio surface is naturally a reverse of the descent ono climbs up and out. The sensation of re lief after a stay of twenty minutes or a half hour in the caisson is not marked , and the adventurer can store away the memory of the trip with perfect Ireodom from bad feelings , either physical or mental. Striking Ice Men. Tlio troubles of Ice Contractor Robert son , it would seem , are not yet ended. Yesterday ho attempted to put ten of his men at work on the ice at scab prices. The union men were promptly on hand , however , and drpvc them from the work. The strikers numbered nearly 100 , and of course had things all their own way. Once or twice they made a determined rush at the "scab" workers and threat ened to throw them in the river unless they dropped thivir tools instanter. In ono or two cases they met with ob stinate opposition , but n show of de termined force finally carried the day. The union men say fiiat they will not go to work until Robertson williigreo to pay them standard prices. They held n meet ing Wednesday night in the Tivoli hall , and came to an agreement that $1.70 a day wa about the right thing. Mr. Robcrt.'on has boon afraid lest the violence of the strikers might result in something serious.
