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.

A 1'Ol.ICE r.riSODK.
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 :

He thought the footpads had him s

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.
