THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : . WEDNESDAY , MAY 4. 1887 ; ffflE LABORERS STILL IDLE , * Io Work Done on the Lincoln Bowers Bo * canto of the Strike , THE CONTRACTOR WILL DO State Equalization Board Assess ing the Hallroads New Inmates For the 1'on liifmtio Asylum Statistic * Lincoln Now * IrnoM TIIK nr.r.'s uxcor.x nunr.A.u.1 The strike m the ranka of the sewer laborers , who suspended work Monday , fiontinued yesterday , and through the day groups of idla men could bo scon around the half finished tranches watting to see the result of the strike and enforcing as fcnuch as possible their plan of allowing Iiono others to work. Of the total mini- Jjor between 300 and 400 employed m | his work , only about seventy-five at tempted to do anything yesterday , nnd little moro than talk was heard on any liand , although some of the thoughtless Workmen were foolish enough to make threats of stoning1 any who persisted in Ignoring the strike. The contractor for Uio work was seen by the BKK representa tive at his office in the IHllingsly block , and he seemed to view the trouble with po apprehension of real danger and thought that a day's time would settle all { natters and see work resumed. The con- ractor ascribed the cause of the strike to 10 from a disturbing element numbering omo twenty or thirty who had boon on he work only a very short time nnd who aad worked up the resentment against > rcsont prices. Last night the contractor proposed to pay off all hands employed ud in the morning resume work with 11 who wished to work , having police stationed to prevent inter- 'eronco ' if any is made. It waa understood that a quiet meeting Was hold yesterday afternoon at the office pf the mayor to arrange for adequate pro jection , if it were found protection waa Deeded. The contractor does not appear to view the present condition of affairs witli nnv fears of trouble and Is satisfied that in a very few daya ho can have a force ol ncn equal to the present on the work , be- loving that most of the present striken- vill bo willing to work if away from the nfluenco of the leaders. All the assist ance ho has thus far asked is that tht eity guarantee safety to men who arr filling to work , and who have been topped by threats. ASSESSING THE KAIUtOADS.

One of the episodes ol the present rh tilous police force that has very naturs escaped notice in the local papers currcd Monday morning. That morn n resident of this city of seven years' imnlntanco , desired to visit Bennett the early morning train that leaves city at if a.m. Ho started from ho riding a mule , so that footpads wo not waylay him on the way to the dot : nul down in the business part of the < lome ot the uniformed police halted h He thought the footpads had him s ind ho fled to Ensign's barn , pursi F/ith revolver shots. At that place jollco overhauled him , took him to till despite his protestations , , and , div < ing him of valuables , hold him a pris oner. Great polioo force that. NKKDED , AN ALAU5I 8YSTESI. flic recent incendiary fires have Illus trated more than over the absolute neces sity for an electric fire alarm system in the city , and the opinion is practically unanimous that something ought to bo done by the city in this line without fur ther delay. At the last of these incendi ary fires it was impossible to reach the engine house direct by telephone and great delay was the result. Investiga tion showtd that the wires find been cut , presumably purposely , so that a long delay would result to the department. Property owners who know the efficiency of the department in service would like to see the alarm system at once. A NEW STItKET HAII.WAY. Ex-GoTornor Dawcs , Senator S. W. Uurnham , J. M. Hodman , John H. Me- Clay nnd J. E. Daum are the projectors of a now street railway line that thov proppse building in the southern part of the city to reach the asylum and peniten tiary , and to furnish rapid connec tion with numerous additions that they own in that suburban district. With an electric motor line , a cable street rail way , a belt line encircling the city , and a present street railway line of some eight miles in operation , it looks as though the city was not going tdfack for passage transportation facilities for years to come. MINOR MENTION. It is stated that trouble Is arising on the question of making brick on the leased lands from the state near West Lincoln , and in case that certain pressure is brought to close up one of the places that the parties closed out propose to at once lay the question of the violation of the lease before the board of public lands and buildings , and ask that it bo looked into whether or no the lesccs are living up to their part of the contract. The board of public lands and build ings , at its regular monthly meeting , lias instructed the superintend ent nnd steward nt the Nor folk asylum to proceed at once in the advertising for and the purchase of necessary supplies to furnish the mstitu tion ready for occupancy. State Superintendent Lane is at Nor folk and Noligh this week meeting with county superintendents in that section of the state and holding conferences concerning corning institute work. Dr. Armstrong , superintendent of the feeble-minded Institute at Beatrice , was in Lincoln yesterday. The doctor states that the building will bo ready for in mates in three months. A number of the city council and Lin coln citizens will attend the Plattsrnouth water works celebration on Thursday. Major John C. Watson , of Nebraska City , was at Lincoln on business yester day. Cure of Pneumonia. HESS ROAU , Niagara Co. , N. Y. . March 34,1886. About a year ago i was taken with a severe pain in both lungs. I was first attacked with a violent chill , then r dreadful pain and then a cough accom panicd by considerable fever. It looked very much like a bad attack of pneu monia. A friend of mine procured five AIT.COCK'S PLASTER. One ho put under each arm. One under each shonldor blade , and one on my chest close around my throat. In a few hours the cough ceased , the pain gradually abated and I broke out in a profuse perspiration. I fell into a profound Bleep , and the next day was almost well. I wore the Plasters tors eight days afterwards , and have never had any trouble since. WILLIAM A. SAWYEU. ELECTRICAI-TVPEWRITER. An Invention by a Philadelphia ! ! Which Will Revolutionize Tclc- James F. MoLaughliu , a young elec trioian of Philadelphia , claims that h has succeedcd-in perfecting an electrica typewriter which will bo the most form idable rival that has as yet arisen agains the Bell Telephone company , as well a against the entire system of modern telegraphy graphy , The machine , as it stands now is not'unlike the ordinary typewriter , except cept the roller on which the paper is car ried. This moves automatically , and when the end of a line is reached it Hie back and turns a notch , ready to begin anew. The keyboard ditlers slightly from that of the mcchatilca typewriter. The alphabet , instead of being in banks , is in two rows and on ivory squares instead of glass disks. Each key is worked from an independent armature , so that whether the operator strike the keyboard with great force , or touch it over so lightly , the impression on the paper is precisely similar in each caso. An ordinary battery such as used on a Morse wire supplies the electrical energy. The utility of young McLaugh- lin's invention and the claim that it will seriously atlect the business of the tele phone on short circuits , and ruin it al together in long ones , lie In the fact that each message sent is duplicated in the oflicn of the sender ; that the s < tme mes sage can bo sent to a dozen or a score of places at thu same time : that absolute secrecy is secured , and that when not in use electrically the wire can bo discon nected and the machine used mechanic ally as long as desired. As a rival of the Morse telegraph the inventor claims that it has numerous ad vantages. A skilled operator is not re- required. Any p.erson of ordinary intelli gence anil a pair of hands can send a message. The depression of each key causes an electric impulse to travel the wire from sender to receiver. Only ono impulse Is required for -each character instead of several impulses required to produce the dots , dashes , atul spaces in the Morse system. Herein lies the impossi bility of "tapping" a wire because even if the wire were cut between two points nothing would bo received but a single ' unmeaning click tor each time the key o'f board was depressed , whereas in the in Morse system each click would represent inn part of a character. The synchronism is nto perfect. By no possibility can thcro bean ton an error in transmission. On the score of n rapidity It boats the ordinary telegraphic m message out of sight. ju An ordinary rapid operator in a tele ty graph office can "receive" on an average 113m at the rate of thirty words a minute. An m ordinarily rapid gj irl accustomed to a typo-writing inaclu no can write on an average sixty to sixty-live words a min of ute , and if she makes an error of sub 1U stance , or of construction , or in spoiling , 1 a it is recorded. It is not oven necessary lie that the person for whom the mcssago ia intended should'bo present while it is coming over the wire , as the machine 10 used as a receiver works autimatically , tU and when thu paper runs out noli lies the ur sender by ringing a bell to cease opera no tions. oy A Pitiful Right.
