Contracts Awarded for Work to l o
Done This .Season ,
The county commis ioncrs yesterday
opened bids for grading in this county ,
the work to bo done comprising turn-
piking , and long cuts , hauls and H1K
There wcro two bids 'for turnpike work ,
ono each from Kli Johnson and James
Gllmoro. The amount was tlio same in
each case , namely II cents per cubic
yard. B. P. Knight bid 01 cents for tlio
game work.
For the other kind of work B. P.
Knight bid HJ cents for the first fiOOjards ,
13 cents the second 500 yards , 14 cents tlio
third 500 yards , 10 oouts the fourth 500
yards ; each additional 500 yards 2J cents
per yard. Daniel Condon of Columbus
bid 10 cents for the first 500ards , 13
cents for the second 500 yanfa , nnd 3
cents per yard for every additional 500
yards. This bid was lower than
that of Knight's in all except two
features. In one of the o it was equal to
that of the hitter's , nnd in the other lower
than it by one-half cent. This is Mr.
Condon's first bid for work of the kind in
the county , and it is moro than likely
that ho will direct more of his attention
in this direction than heretofore
The contract was awarded to him ,
though at present it may not be deter
mined how much work will bo douo this
year. Commissioner Corliss estimates it
at about 70,000 yards. Tim work will bo

Reform Club Organised.
The W. C. T. U. Buckingham hall was
filled last night again to hear the popular
temperance speaker , Mr. Holt , lecture on
"Hard Cash or the Fallacy of High Li-
censo. " A most enthusiastic song service ,
led beautifully by Messrs. Gratton and
Huteson , was very enjoyable. Among
the many startling figures presented by
Mr. Holt wore the following of the Oma
ha saloons. Suppose there tire 140 sa
loons in your city. It takes $5,700 per
day to run them ; $31,700 per week ; il- ,
000,100 per year , nnd the city receives
$140,000 , per annum revenue for school
purposes. In other words the citizens of
Omaha pay $1 into the saloon to pay 0
cents into tlio school fund. A rather ox-
iHnibivc collecting agency , is it not ? The
Jec.turo was full ot good points which
would hnvo staggered Mr Slooiini himself.
To bo appreciated , Mr. Holt must be
hoard and seen. Far beyond the finan
cial loss is the woo and heart-nclio and
tears ot the Inebriates and their innocent
wives and helpless children.
After nn enthusiastic meeting the Reform -
form club was formally orgnni/.cd. The

Miscellany.
Swindled In lovr.
A middlo-agcd lady came into police
court yc torday looking for Judge
Stenbcrg. The presiding genius of the
tribunal had ins feet stacked up on his
desk , smoking a fragrant Havana , while
the dozen or more reporters of tlio after
noon papers wore scattered about the
room drowsily waiting for something to
turn tip. It turned.
The lady , who gave her name as Mrs.
Augusta Ilin/.c , spoke but little English ,
nml eoneqtii'iitly hail to tell her story to
the judge through an interpreter. The
direct object of her visit was to have a
certain woman arrested for slander. To
back up her request she made n rather
sensational statement , which , boiled
down , is as follows.
Ten years ago she was living In Ham
burg , Germany. Her husband , Mr.
Goldsmith , kept a small notion store in
that metropolis , and when lie died she
succeeded him as proprietress of the es
tablishment. Ono dark day u smooth ,
oily villain giving the name of
Theodore Sickle crossed her path.
Ho was handsome , fascinating
and persuasive , and when
after some weeks , wooing ho proposed to
her , what could she do but accept him ?
She sold out her little property , and get
ting together all the money she could
( ! f)00) ! ) ) , she started with him tor America ,
where , it was agreed , they should bo
married. They landed in Montreal , Can
ada and a ceremony was performed
which , as the laily supposed , made her
the wife of Sickle. After n few days
of blissful existence , her fond dream of
love was rudely disturbed by the dis
covery that her Theodore was a villain ,
lie deserted her in Montreal , taking with
him every cent of her money , besides all
her jewelry. To make matters worse
she discovered that the cere
mony performed had been u mock
marriage , and the handsome wedding
ring which Theodore had tenderly placed
upon her plump linger was a bauble of
gilt and glass. Heartbroken at the dis
covery of the deception which had been
practiced upon her , she applied to the
German consul in Alontrenl for relief. Ho
kindly lent ear to her story , and paid her
way to Iowa where she had friends.
About eight yeara ago she came to Omaha
where she married her present husband ,
Anton Ilinzo. Since that time she has
heard or seen nothing of her bogus hus
band , Sickle.
The specific complaint that Mrs. Ilin/.c
desired to make was against u woman
now in this city who had become in some
way apprised of her past history , and is
using that knowledge to blackmail her
( Miy. IlinzQ ) . This female , Mrs. llinno
alleges , is persistently trying to injure
her by writing anonymous
letters to her friends , by
publishing articles in the German papers ,
and by circulating infamous stories auout
her character.
After talking the matter over Mrs.
Ilin/.o decided to "await further develop
ments" before swearing out a warrant
for her detainer's arrest.
THIS PKOSPKCTIVK PAVING.
The Mayor Signs I ho Documents and
tlio Cltl/.cns are to Choose.
Mayor Boyd who had signed the or
dinance creating the paving districts
yesterday put his ofiicial hand to the
contracts. It now remains for the prop
erty owners to make their selections
of the several materials offered for the
streets. The ingenuity of men has de
vised a liberal quantity of material for
covering city highways , granite , cedar
block , sandstone , asphalt , macadam ,
eto. All of these , .with the exception of
cedar block arc practically known here ,
but a round of the citizens shows that the
new substance will bo received with no
little favor. It is largely in use in many
cities of the Union as well as of the old
world.
lion , John A. McShauo cxpress'cd him
self for the block , providing a good base
is put down. Said ho , " 1 have observed
in other cities the advantages and beauty
of this material , and I thinlc at the rates
offered by the contractor- , that it would
bo highly acceptable here. At § 1.22 with
plank and sand , ami at tfU.IJS with
the same baliast and a live years
guarantee , and at $1.88 with a cement
biiso and the samu guarantee
the citizens have n liberal margin of
choice. If they take the last they will
act advisedly , as the pavement is smooth
nnd durable. The concrete base will last
forever , and the character of the pave
ment could bo changed fifty years honeo
if desirable. "
Max Meyer remarked that ho had al
ways been largely for asphalt ,
but hinco nn opportunity ot ob
taining cedar bloofe was given , ho
would like to try the material "It miiit ,
however , been well found , and when that
is done mMrcs a splendid pavement.
It is employed In many European cities ,
and by the way , when in Paris hist year
I noticed that on the great boulevards
where the world turns out to drive , a
cedar block pavement with n peculiar
coating is being substituted for the us-
phaltum which has been there foryears. "
Low W. Hill remarked upon cedar
block as n great material for a driving
thoroughfare and n grand pavement for
any purpose v/hen it is well founded.
Wheels roll evenly and a horse- stops
surely on the block surface , so that a
street of this character makes a splendid
drive way.
City Attorney Coniioll thought that the
streets about largo warehotiios where
heavy hauling is done should be paved
with stone , hut in the residence portion
and on the hills a smooth pavement
should bo laid. Ho know of cedar block
ns a good material and woulit rather like
to sue some of it tried ,
N. B. Falconer has an old-time love for
asphalt , having first worked for its in
troduction in tnis city. Since , however ,
a chance to employ the cedar block was
ofiercd ho would bo pleased to see it used
on those streets where the heaviest haul
ing was not dono. "It's a splendid pavement -
ment when properly built ; " said ho.
"Cedar block streets nt the prices ollered
would bo cheap and durable if a good
base of concrete was laid beneath. "
John A. Creiirhton was also found in a
good humor for the block , staling that it
would bo prcferrablo over stone for the
residence streets upon which ho is heavily
interested.
A number of other citizens wcro spoken
to and n general opinion largely favora
ble to the new material was elicited.
The Good Tomplnrs.
Miss Anna M. Satmders , grand worthy
chief templar of the I. O. G. T. of No-
briiska , has been in the city for several
days working in the interest of the or

day will organise the district ledge

prising Douglas nnd Sarpy counties.
The sessions of the distiiyt lodges will

pected that delegates will bo present

ami prosperity. As interesting as would
bo a minute presentation of all the build
ing plans , it is , at this curly iliiy , diffi
cult to reach the fncts. Almost every
thing is prospective nml unformed , yet
the tow that have taken shape will com
bine to make good reading matter tor the
pleasure of Omaha's friends and tlio vex
ation of her enemies withal. The clam-
like clo'cucss of n man with n scheme Is
noted nt this season , as above hinted nnd
ofierrf some reflections worth noting. To
repeal oneo moro , the mnjoilty of all the
building projects of the coming season
are as yet contemplative. It is discov
ered that it would be no more vain to
puzzle on the secrets of the sea's hidden
depths than to work a statement
of Intentions from any ono of the parties
doing tlio contemplating. A fellow has
a notion when ho goes to build a hoiifio
that if ho lots his plans get out ho will
bo handicapped by unknown rivalries ,
that his prospective site ( if ho has not yet
a site ) will bo boosted in price by tlm too
sanguine owner , and all that kind ot
thing. For that reason the obtainable
showing is small
Everybody knows of the exposition
building which is Hearing completion ;
the largo addition to thu Union
Pacific headquarters , which is now
under way ; the city hall and
chamber of commcrco.for which the sites
are cleared , and the First National , Com
mercial and Merchants' bank buildings ,
but there nro other important enterprises
already openly afloat , which n tour of the
architects will reveal :
Hon. Wm. A Pnxtou is about to erect
a fter the plans of Mendcnlssoln and
Fisher , on the silo of the old court house
at the northeast corner of Sixteenth
and Farnum. a building that
will probably bo the finest
business block in the city. It will bo
132 feet square , five stories"ami a base
ment and bo constructed of brick , stone
and terra cotta. Its erection will prob
ably run over into the next year , as so
great u work is not quickly accom
plished.
Messrs. Mendelssohn and Fisher are
also preparing plans for the projected
Y. M. C. A. building which will bo put up
at the corner of Sixteenth and Dodge.
This structure will bo C0\132 feet , four
floor" , of brick and stone. Its details
are magnificent.
The same architects have on hand the
contracts lor a largo number of business
ami dwelling structures which a little
time yet will put ready to bo made pub
lic. Since Mr. D. L. Shane became su
perintendent for Mendelsohn & Fisher ,
the firm has been engaged for numerous
heavy e.diliees , as peoplu have confidence
in consigning their work to an exper
ienced man who will give it his personal
supervision.
Messrs. Cloves Bros , also have a num
ber of vcr.y important contracts on hand ,
among which , chielly , is the construction
of the now Byer.s building , on the north-
cast corner of Douglas and Fifteenth
streets. This splendid structure will be
CGxli32 feet , four stories , of pressed brick ,
and will cost $80.000. Thu work will bo
commenced in the spring ; and rapidly
pushed through.
Messrs. Cloves Bros , also have on hand
the construction of a block for Gco.
Heimrod , to bo situated at the corner of
Sixteenth and Webster. The building
will be 6G\75 feet , three stories , and of
brick , adjoining which will bo built a
similar building , 23xOO feet , for Roedcr ,
the druggist.
The same firm also builds for Mr.James
Creigliton. three brick fiats , 00x40 , two
stories and n basement , nt Davenport
and Fifteenth streets.
C. F. Dribcoll has , as well , a number of
contracts just budding. Among these
ready to reveal are two frame two-story
dwellings for Jno. II. Loomis in Idle-
wild addition.
The sitmo architect will also put up for
C. S. Raymond n $7,000 frame residence
on Georgia nycnuo.
F. M. Ellis , who , although well known
in Omaha and throughout Nebraska , lo
cated hero but six weeks ago , has n
number of local contracts which are yet
in reserve , and will bo given when this
topic is taken up again in a few weeks.
Mr. Ellis is now in Lincoln inspecting the
Homo of the Friendless building , which
ho has just completed there.
Sidney Smith is pressed with prospec
tive worlc and of what liu has prepared to
give out are :
A three story pressed brick business
block. 00x88. at the comer of Sixteenth
and Howard streets , for John Ledwieh.
A block of brick Hats , three stories , for
II. L. Cramer , at the corner of Chicago
and Fifteenth streets.
Six largo tenements on St. Mary's nv-
eniio for Dr. Gnuldy.
The contractors of the city nl o have
plenty of work on hand , but as this aril-
elu started out with the architects , and
having gone through the list of the lead
ing in that profession , n pause in the bril
liant review will bo made until n future
day. _

AN AVKHTI5I ) IIOKKOIt.
The Narrow Kscnpo of a Ilolntlvc ol * a
AVoll-Kiiowii Omnium ,
Mr. George J. Storusdorh" , of this city ,
has received word from relatives in Now
York of n strange experience of his cous
in. Mrs. Charlotte McGuinnis. The lady ,
who lives in Richmond , Vn. , had. while
on a northern tour , been .stricken with
illness so severe that she was
unable to travel further. She was coin-
polled to stoj ) in New York and there was
taken to the house of frionds. Despite
the attention of the best medical skill ob
tainable she sank and within two weeks
expired , dying tranquilly and without
pain , tliis , to all appearances. Her
griel-strieken friends prepared for her
burial Her cold and pulseless body was
shrouded anil placed in a cofilu. On the
day following her death the funeral ser
vices wore held. The minister had pro
nounced the rites'of the church and the
nail bearers stood prepared , whllo tlio
irlends of the deceased were taking their
last look on llio face of the dead. As the
line of people passed around the casket ,
one lady stinted and with a slight cry ,
fainted. Instant excitement prevailed
and looking for a cause for the lady's
emotions , the eyes of the corpse ( us it
was thought to bo ) were seen to quiver
nnd then to open wide. Nothing can do
justice to llio feelings ot the bereaved
relatives of the supposedly dead lady ,
Physicians were summoned nnd further
restoratives applied , That was two
weeks ago , anil to-day Mrs.McGiiinnis is
in fioinul nml perfect health. She says
that while in the trance she was conscious
of all about her ami contemplated in
powerless horror the prcparatioiib of her
triemis to consign her to a Ihing grave.
Mrs.McGiiinnis will probably visit Omaha
this year , wiiero she has miuij * friends ,
Mr0. Gray's Obsequies.
The funeral of Mrs. Catherine B , Gray
was held yesterday at 2 o'clouk from
thu rcMdencG of -son-in-law , William
F. Manning , 5)1 ! ) South Twunty-bixth
street.There wns n largo attendance o
friends of the deceased , many of thorn beIng -
Ing among the old. settlers of Omaha.
Mrs. Gray had been n resident of this
city since 18T > 4 , nnd wns well known nnd
belo\edby hosts of friends. The pall
bearers were selected from Omaha's old

These Two Ijnmln no .Seen by a ( Jen-
tlctunu In This City.
M. Baehrach , who enjoys the promt
distinction of being an ex-Siberian exile ,
delivered a lecture last evening in Gor-
mania hall ou his experiences in that
country.
His career has been an eventful nnd
checkered one. Born in Hungary , dur
ing the period of the revolutionary ( dis-
turbanecs in Europe , ho has been con
nected with al least two important insur
rectionary mtcmculs. . From 1858 to
IbGO he served under Garlb.ildl in the
war for llio liberation of Italy. At the
storming of Naples , ho was captured and
compelled to retire. From 1802 to 1801
ho served under the Polish leaders in their
unsuccessful struggle to burst the Rus
sian shackles. In the hitter year ho was
captured and sent with tlio other rebel
leaders to n life of Siberian e.xilc. In 1809
under the terms of the Russo-Austrian
amnesty , his release was secured , and
early m 1870 ho was again found in
Europe. Later on in 1871) ) nnd 'SO , ho
turned up in Egypt where ho aetod its
adjutant to the Khedive ( the father of the
present Egyptian ruler ) , until the British
successes overturned the regime mid
throw the country under the control of
England.
"The advent of the English into Egyp
tian govormentalaffairs , " said Mr iJiieh-
rach , "has been one so far , 1 think ,
of almost unmixed evils to the nat
ives. They , ( tlio English ) have only sue.
eeeded in stirring up the the religious ,
lunatic hatred of the Egyptians in bring
ing to the surface the lowest , most un-
worthytruits of their national oharaeter.
The consequence is that the
natives , under the English vieeroynlty.
have advanced no farther in general
matters of civilixution than muter the
rule of Turkey , and in many respects
they have retrograded. This feeling may
in time wear away and the nation may
yield to the refilling influences of the
Anglo Sa\on civili/ation. One thing is
certain. Under Turkey the Egyptians
would never have made any progress ,
while under the present regime there is * a
chance that they may. Ono great obsta-
clain ( lie way of this , however , has been
nnd will be the total repugnance of the
religious ideas of the two nations , the
Egyptians , as you know , being to a man
wet shippers of Mohammed , while , the
English are Christians. "

"Although n great deal has been said
and written about Siberiafew people have
anything like correct notions about that
country. Siberia is n vast territory ,
larger by fifty per cent than the United
States , Its resources ? Its mines of gold
and silver and other metals arc inex
haustible. It is not the barren waste that
some people think it is , for corn , grain
and other cereals are grown there in
greatest abundance. Its farming hinds
are the most fertile in the world. Cattle-
gra/.ing is carried on with great success
by some of the tribes.
"The colonies of convicts are in the
northern .section of the country. The
colonial territory is divided into
three provinces , known as oblasts , the
Yakutchkor , Noi > ehrisker , and tlio
Kiinisehatkcr. The two former oblats
have sixty-eight colonies apiece , operat
ing as many mines , while the latter ob-
last has fifty-two. There are from -100 to
500 men working in each mine. Each
oblast is presided over by a "colonel , "
whi o the head of all the provinces is the
governor general.
"The hours1 of work in the mines are
from 8 o'clock in the morning until -1 at
night. The convicts all work eight
hours without a pniticle of food , eating
only two meals a day , breakfast and sup
per. The punishments im
posed upon the refractory con
victs are something terrible. The
knout is used principnNy , and frequently
victims are beaten until life is almost ex
tinct. The mine overseers care very lit
tle for human life , and I have known the
wounded , m a mine explosion , to bo
thrown , still alive , into the same grave
with the dead , to save the trouble of re
moving them to the hospital. As .a
general thing if a convict escapes , ho is
not pursued , because there is
not one chance in a thousand that ho will
ever succeed in making his escape. Ho
is almost sure to die. of cold * or starva
tion , or both , in that sparsely settled
country before ho has travelled n week. "
Mr. Bachrach gives a very graphic pic
ture of the sufferings on the long route
from Porinco , Russia , to Siberia , u jour
ney , which with forty-nine other exiles ,
it took him eighteen months to accom
plish on foot. His descriptions of life in
the mines ara vivid and realistic , and
cause an involuntary shudder in the
listener.
