JAY QOULiD'S PIjAN.
Gratuitous Advice to the Workingmen -
men of the Country.
NKW Youic , April SO [ Special Telegram !
The Times this moinlng has a tlueo col
umn Interview with Jay Uould. While he
professes to believe in labor oiRanliatlons
generally , he finds nothing but evil in the
alms and methods of the Knights of Labor ,
which , ho says , ho has found to bo a stlner
of htrifo ana becder of discord. Ho speaks
of the strike on the Missouri Pacific as caus-
JUK only momentary annoyance and says the
final icsult does not dlspleasous. Wo have
compact organizations manning our prop
erty. We are frco from dangers wo only
fcaicd. I look for little immediate good to
anybody , least of all to the working people ,
who ate dliectly and vitally Interested , from
the species of agitation that Is now shown to
us most conspicuously. The worklngmen ,
so far as we see them in those bodies o the
stamp of the Knights of Labor , are doing
themselves an Inestimable amount of Imiin.
Organised labor , as we got n piescntatlon of
it , Is In the wrong paths. Unscrupulous and
designing leaders are blinding tlio masses.
Propeily oiganlzcd , the laborer must be a
stronger man , a better workman , more
caieful , moio thoughtful , and a better citi
zen. 1 think the true mission of luboi oigan-
izatlons should bo to properly extricate their
members and weed out black sheep and pro
vide an insurance scheme whoso benefits
would bo woith having.

THE VIADUCT QUESTION
was introduced , and the council went
into a committee of the whole to consider
the matter , with Alderman Leo in the
Mr. Hascall , representing the Cable
Car company , presented the following
proposition :
To the Honorable Mayor and the City Coun
cil of the CUy of Omaha :
It Is hoieby proposed by the Cable Tram
way company ot Omaha to give to the city of
Oniaha the sum of S-JO.OOOto provide room on
the Eleventh sticct viaduct , proposed to bo
built , tor the passage of the cais ot said coin-
pnnyovei said proposed viaduct , provision to
be made foi the passage oE said cars over the
same so as to not interleio with the carilages
and vehicles which will pass and icpass on
the viaduct , and to bo so constiuctcd as to ac
complish that purpose , and to be suitable for
tbupuiposvj Intended.
OMAHA. CAiii.n TIIAMWAT Co.
By S. H. JOHNSON , President.
Mr. Hascall said that his company had
examined the bids which hail been of
fered lor the construction of the viaduct
nnd had discovered that it would cost
about 25 per cent more to build n viaduct
thirty feet in width than one twenty feet
wide. This proposition was made on the
basis of ij > 8-1,000 tor a twenty foot viaduct.
Ho said if the horse car company would
unite with the cable company ho thought
they could build a viaduct forty feet wide.
leaving twenty foot clour for the nso of
carriages , etc.
Air. Kountzo stated that ho was opposed
to the cable line being built on the pro
posed viaduct. If the viaduct could bo
onhugcd us proposed ho could sue no
reasonable objection to the construction
of the cable line upon it. Ho did
not think , however , that the council
bhoulu consider any action that would
impair or in the least interfere with the
contract which has already boon uiado
for the construction ot the viaduct.
The following resolution was presented
nnd adopted by the committee of the
whole :
Ucsolved , ThatltlsthoBonsoof tills coun
cil that in ttie event of the hoiso railway
company falling to unite with the cable lall-
way comiianv in the expense of adding
twenty-tour feet more to the width of the
proposed Eleventh sticet viaduct , that the
cable lallway company shall have right to
build on the east bldo of said .Eleventh btiect
\ laduct an elevated cable railway to com
mence at the cuib line on the south side of
Jones stieet and running south over the. . first
alley at an elevation ol not loss than fourteen
feet being the lower railioad tracks
at an elevation above same at
not less than cloven feet and
with a span equal to the span of the viaduct
at that point , and from thence on a descend
ing grade M > as to run a tunnel under the
upper tracks of the Union Paclfio lailioud
and the U. fc M. ralhoad , ' and thence coining
to the suitaco at the Intersection of Eleventh
and Mason streets , nnd that a leasonablo
change of grade be made nt that point HO as
to moke the descending urndo about tlueo
feet per 100 feet Irom Mason to Sixteenth
street.
The committee of the whole then ro-
poi ted progress and the resolution was
referred to the committee on viaducts
and the delegation from the First ward ,
with instructions to confer with the
Horse Railway company and the Union
Pacific nnd B. & M. , companies , and to
report at the mooting on Wednesday
evening.

on paving , curbing and guttering , recom
mending that the board of public works

The revival services at the Exposition
building last night , under the leadership
of Hovs , McKui-r and Hitler , maintained
the usual interest. Larger results arc

belief that n great many huvo hitherto

tion to turn from vi-o nnd wickedness by
accepting Jesus' as their Savior front sin.
The long continued mooting is nearing

must soon bo made , cither to accept or
reject Christ. The fooling and interest
arc intensified by every available method

Mcctlns of Koal Estate Agents

Omaha real estate agents turned out
last evening at the board of trade rooms ,
nnd a lively and enthusiastic meeting it
was. Governor Saunders presided , and
Mr. Iroy noted as secretary. A coustitu
tlon and by-laws wcro adopted.
The encouragement of manufacturing
industries scorned to bo the absorbing
question before the meeting , and alt
joined heartily in its discussion , and nl
favoring it with a will.
The general impression imparted by all
of the speakers was that every effort
would bo made to furnish sites at lowosl
prices to all manufacturing applicants.
and on any terms desired , and to aid
such in every way possible to scttlo in
Omaha.
The iniation fee , making anv agpr.t a
member of of the Omaha llcal Estate
board was lixed at $23.
There is not ti question but tlmt this or-
gani/atioii moans business , and will bo
instrumental in doing much for the en
couragement of manufacturing industries
in this city and vicinity.
The board , adjourned to moot at the
same nlaco the board of trade rooms

Church.
For a long lime many thought that the
South side of our city was neglected in
the way of churches. As soon as the
Southwest Presbyterian church readied
self-support , which was about a year ago ,
some of it * members , together with the
pastor , Rcy. Thos. C. Hall , and some
prominent members of other churches ,
began the work of 'organizing another
church. A lot w/as'ibought / , which has
since become exceedingly valuable. Soon
a building was completed , and a Sabbath
school started ThcHRov. Hall preached
statedly there in the afternoons for some
time , but now the ! church feels strong
enough to call , j. mjin to take entire
charge. Mr. James M. Nilson. of the
Chicago Theological Seminary , was the
unanimous choice of the pcoplo. Ho has

JUST nnrcmfe TITK BATTLE.
Is Imbor MarshallIne to Oppose the
Contractor ?
Notwithstanding the fact that to-day ,
mechanics engaged in the construction
of houses were to insist upon an increase
of wages , there is but little apprehension
that the change will bo attended with a
very great strike. While it may not bo
stated with authority that the contractors
will accede to the wishes of their men ,
there is reason to bcliovo that they will
go n great distance to moot the wi lies of
the same. They fool their men will act
reasonably also nnd both may ef
fect a happy compromise. Notwith
standing the length of time this change
has been pending , it is questionable If
any of tlio associations desiring the
change are now prepared to strike. But
there is no telling what niiiv happen on
thos-inir of thu moment. Ccitain it is , so
far as tiio facts of the cnso may ho. up to
last night , no association had decided ir
revocably , unless perhaps it was the
brick moulders , to go upon a strike this
morning.
With regard to the most of those mo-
chanlcs.lhcra would bo foundthe reporter
was informed a utrong sentiment and
support in their effort to obtain a raisein
their wages. None of them , brick layers ,
earpontors , stone masons , stone cutters ,
or plasterers , have been able to get little
beyond the necessaries of life during the
past five months. Very few of thorn do
or can work during winter , even if work
could bo had. But it can not. These
men are therefore poor in pocket , and a
cry for a slight reasonable increase would
iind many supporters among other arti
sans.
sans.This is especially true of plasterers.
Their last worn is done early in the fall ,
ns a rule , and docs not again open until
all the other trades pcoplo have been
able to erect homes and edifices. Even
now there is no work for them , and , as
they say of themselves when they "have
no work- , they surely can command no
price for labor. But they cling on to the
bricklayer's union , and both work for
their mutual interests.
The Plasterers' union met last night in
the hall noithwcst corner Fourteenth and
Douglas streets. The session was secret ,
nnd it was felt that all action on the raise
of wages was to bo deferred until their
committee on conference can confer with
a like committee on Tuesday next from
the Bricklayers' .
A number of brick moulders mot in
met in Wolt's hall , southwest corner
Cuming and Twenty-second streets.
There was a pictty fair attendance
of seemingly intelligent and honest men.
But there wuro a couple of busybodies ,
and so the presence of a rcpoi tcr was
worse than the death plant. The scribe
was compelled to withdraw. The mould
ers adopted a constitution , and tinally
resolved to strike to-day if they failed to
get the raise to $3 per day.
Other associations met throughout the
city , but their actions were secret ,
ST. JOHN'S DAY.
It Will Probably bo Celebrated on a
.IjnrKO Scale by the Masons.
The recent success of the Odd Fellows'
celebration in this city has induced some
of our other civic associations to look
towaid n celebration of the same gen
eral character. The lirst to take a step
in this direction has been the Masoniu
fraternity of this city. They have ap
pointed a committee to report upon the
advisability , as well as the feasibility , of
hohling a celebration upon some ono pf
the festivals of the society. The commit
tee has not yet reported , but it is pretty
generally understood that they will sug
gest St. John's Day , the 2oth of Juno , as
a suitable time on which to hold a cele
bration. With delegates and lodges from
all parts of the state and Iowa , a display
could bo made which would attract
thousands of people to our city.
BhAOK FBATUUES AND 1VOUY.
Two Colored Men Play at Billiards
for Fifty Dollars.
Last night , a highly interesting game
of billiards was pluyed by two coloied
men in Frank Bellamy's saloon on the
northeast corner of Capitol avenue and
Twelfth streets. Ir was for a pmse of
$500 , between Frank Golden and Thomas
Prcssor , the latter playing 350 points to
Golden'b 800. The jt.ime ran alonjj very
evenly , Prcssor being slightly in the
load almost throughout the game.
When the close approached but thn teen
shots intervened between the two. When
Golden got the balls where itwns thought
ho might trundle them and defeat his op
ponent who now had but ono point to
make , caused him to play with too much
caution , so that ho missed one of the
easiest bhotd and the other won. James
Hariis acted as marker and G. F. Mac-
Beth as scorer.

comprises about forty pages , each the
size of ono of our legislative enactments.
The bill roads differently than itdid when
first printed in the papers. It is admir
ably arranged , ono feature , the index or
glossary of words with its peculiar and
technical meaning being most con
venient. The first clause will bo roa
with a good deal of interest to English
ears. It runs as follows : "On and after
the appointed day there shall bo estab

of her majesty , the queen , and an im

WIIKAT Wheat was feu-rlsm today. Tlio
engagement orcssel room Tuebdny ami
Wednesday for thrcc-quartore ot n million
bushels , and the steady outflow from the sen-
board , caused the market to open strong , tuitl 4
the outlook early was onconraRliiK to the

veiy strong : , however , and the market eased
olt very hoon under liberal offerings , Jlay go

damper upon outside enthusiasm and lusldo
conildcncc , and to that , moio than any other
cause , may be attributed what oC
weakness tlieio was to the market to-day ,
though the magnificent crop outlook also
contributed to the same end. Labor troubles
formed the principal topic of conversation
among speculators nnd thosu In legitimate
trade , though many of the recclvIiiK nnd
shipping houses wmo too busy gottlnz ready
for 1st of May changes to think about any
thing else , Noveltholrss the undertone oC
uneasiness manifested Itself In many ways.
A slight widening of the dllfeience between
May and Juno was one of the minor phiuoi
ot the day's trading , as going to show the di
minishing confidence of capital In the fiitme ,
according to the reasoning of some of the
market observers. The market llrmcd about
the middle of the forenoon when It was
leaincd that the active demand for room had
cauicd an advance of J/c In lake freights ,
and that up to 11 o'clock the engagements ng-
gicgated 2)0,000 ) bushels , making a round
1,000,000 Bushels of Chicago wheat disposed

lirmncss until the close at 1 o'clock , at which
stage prices were \ery close to the highest
point of the morning and a fiactlon nbovo

chasing was by substantial ihms.
