Another Bridge Delay.
What news about the bridge ? The
question Is asked so frequently and by so
ninny thit : the man who attempts to answer -
swer soon wearies. The frequency
of tlto question and the capcrncss
with which an answer is looked
'or indicates how much importance is
jlacud by this community upon the se
miring of : i wagon bridge as a connect-
n < r link between this city and Omaha.
There Is little news to give the readers
of the BII : beyond tlio announcement
that there will probably bo no news for
some days or weeks yet. The parties In-
frosted in securing the it fora railway
jridjio have linked for a further hearing ,
ind the who tire working for a wagon
bridge naturally want to bo heard
wain also , if there is to bo
tuy hearing given their opponents ,
i'lio Union 1'actHc railway also wants a
liearing on this question , and representa
tives of each bridge interest have frono
m to Washington. In the meantime
Secretary Kndieott is still in Massachu
setts , but is expected daily to return to
Washington. Before his departure Sec
ret-try hudicott referred some lcg.il ques
tions to the attorney general , and asked
for an opinion upon them , It is under
stood by those concerned that tlio ques
tion as to thu site will not be settled for
several weeks to come. As one of the
wagon bridge company expresses it ,
"they've got the thing hung up for two
or three weeks longer. " There seems
much conlidcnco that the wagon bridges
company , whicli has its plans all ready
for approval , will win the day.
The Fcmalo Ward.
For a city laving claims to civilization
there is a disgraceful manner of using
Female prisoners , brought into the city
jail. The rooms on the second iloor are
itipposed to be for the fernaio prisoners ,
out a glance at 'ho accommodations is
snfliciont to convince anyone that they
are not fit for animals , much less human
jclngs. It matters little how fallen a
woman is , the city should not descend to
the same low grade. The room chiefly
used has a bare Iloor , which bears no
evidences of having scon water for
months. There is an old mattress on the
floor , and another smaller but dirtier one
on a cot. A few coverlets , or blankets ,
are there to complete the furnishing of
the beds. These have evidently been
strangers to pure water or air.
To add to the dirtiness and dis
comfort of the place there
are moro bedbugs than can bo slaugh
tered by a train load of insect poison.
It is not to bo expected that the city will
Furnish parlors for the accommodation of
drunken prostitutes , but it would bo bet
ter to have such women put into a bare
but well scrubbed room , until sober
enough to take care of themselves. Some
of the female prisoners are not filthy , but
even if they wore , it is dlflicult to see anv
reason for the city making them stifl
worse by turning them into a place where
vermin und dirt are the chief character
istics. In this ago of soap and water
works , thrco marshals and 100 feet of
liosc ought to be able to kcop the place a
little less habitable for vermin and more
habitable for humans.
Perkins Must Pay.
Uell Pcrkins.who was run over and lost
a leg on the Northwestern railway.is still
at the Cottage hospital , A short time ago
ho made a settlement with the railway
company , by which ho received $1,100 in
full for all claims and damages. The
money was placed in a bank , and that
same day he was married to the woman
who had been attending him during his
illness , she being a tricnd from Omaha.
The county having been to considerable
expense to furnish nurses and physician ,
an attachment suit has been begun by
the county attorney , and $250 of the
money seized. Perkins is not able to
leave the hospital yet. It is claimed that
he was preparing to go away without set
tling the bills which the county had in
curred for his care.

THE HEROINE OF TWO WARS.
The Romantic LI Co Story ° r
"
Crazy PeRgjf. "
Now York Mail and Express : There
died In an humble apartment in this city
the other day a woman with a remark
able history , if her statements are trust *
worthy. Lvou her neighbors did not
know nor real name , and it is from a
friend of the woman , who had heard her
history frequently , that the story comes.
She was the daughter of an English lord
and heiress to a moderate estate. Ou the
adjoining estate lived another lord to
whoso son she was betrothed , When the
Crime-on war hrnVa nufc t ? Invar on.
listed. For a few months after his de
parture letters were received with regu
larity from him. and ho seemed to bo in
good health and spirits. Suddenly all
correspondence ceased. His name did
not appear in the death list which wore
published in the London papers , and it
wai evident be w i either sick or pris
oner. In an agony of fear and anxiety ,
she could stand the suspense no longer ,
nnd dotcrmtncd to go In quest of him.
Her parents , however , forbade It , and
her friends dissuaded her for a short
time. Hut the continued silence proved
unbearable , and she finally stole from
her homo ono night , secured an
appointment ns nurse , and beloro her re
lations had obtained a clew to her where
abouts , was on her way to the front.
Reaching the Bosphorous.sho was placed
in ono of the hospitals at a smalltown
near the border. She scanned with ea
gerness the faces of the sick and dyinp ,
but found no sign of him she sought.
Remembering that ho might bo in the
same condition as were the poor soldiers
around her , she entered into the work of
ministration with all her heart. Her
cfl'orts wore rewarded in an unexpected
way , tor ono day , in talking with ono of
the wounded men , she ascertained that
he had been in the same regiment with
her lover , and that the latter was a cap
tive in the hands of the Russians. From
that moment , although quietly continu
ing her nursing , she bent all nor facili
ties to planning some scheme by which
she might gain access to her lover's place
of confinement. She finally concluded
to assume the roln of a spyand requested
permission from the commanding otliccr
to net in that capacity. Ho at first refused ,
but upon her pleading earnestly he gave
his consent and supplied tier with the
papers necessary for'her passing the En
glish lines.
She disguised herself and pretended
she was hnlf-witted. and by that means
got within the Russian territory. So art
fully did slio play her part that she be
came quite a favorite with the soldiers ,
who styled her " ( Jrazy Peggy , " and al
lowed her to do as she pleased. It was
many weeks before she learned the town
in which her betrothed was a prisoner.
By a neat stratagem she induced tlio
keeper of the prison to give her access to
the cells. The jailer thought her a harm
less creature , and permitted her to chat
at will with the English captives. She
soon disclosed her identity to her lover ,
and together they planned an escape.
On a dark , stormy night she acted
moro insanely than ever , and in ono
of her fits snatched the keys from the
belt of the warden. Ilunning down the
stairs , she unlocked several of the doors ,
including the one behind which her be
trothed was confined. In that instant
ho was out , and , hidden in a dark corner ,
he donned a Russian uniform furnished
bv the faithful girl. The jailer gave
cliase to "Cra/.y Peggy" and regained
the keys , but not before her lover
had walked up the stairs and out into
the open air. "Peggy" followed him and
they fled through the darkness until they
reached the picket lino. Here the pass
word , whicli had been discovered by
"Peggy , " enabled them to gain the open
space between the rival armies. An
English coat , concealed beneath her
clothes , was put on und the Russian uni
form discarded. In safety the lines were
passed and the olliccr returned to his
command. So well executed had boon
all of Peggy's plans , and so anxious was
her betrothed to continue in service that
they both remained in the army , she as a
spy and ho as nn officer. They wore
married by a chaplain , however , before
entering again into active duty.
Just before the conclusion of the war
the husband died. Nearly heartbroken ,
Peggy accompanied the remains to Eng
land , to find that her parents were dead ,
and that there was nothing loft for her
except a neat litclo estate. The associ
ations of the place were so painful that
she determined to come to America. She
did so and settled in ono of theCarolinas ,
where she taught the slaves several times
a week , without the permission of the
owners.
The rebellion broke out soon aftcr.and
the old war fever coursed through "Peg
gy's" veins. She enlisted as a nurse m
the confederate army. But her ability
as a spy reached the ears of ono of the of
ficers , and she agreed to undertake the
dangerous business. She disguised her
self , and as a half-witted woman went at
will through the confederate and union
armies. Twice she was held on suspicion ,
and once was placed under guard until
an examination could be had. In some
way she managed to destroy the papers
on her person and was released. A few
evenings later she was attacked by a
drunken picket and received wounds
that scarred her face badly for the rest
of her lifo. In fact.it was largely because
of her repulsive countenance that during
the last twenty years she has kept in ab
solute retirement. Her favorite com
mander was General Robert E , Leo , and
ho regarded her with marked respect.
Peggy said that once , at General Lee's
personal request , she got as far as Wash
ington and secured some important in
formation. Before she could got back
within the confedcrato lines , however ,
she was shut up in an insane asylum. She
escaped , but too late to render the news
of any practical use. When she iirst
came from England , she invested most of
her estate in land and property in the
South. The war almost impoverished
her , but she managed to save enough to
keep her in an humble way ever since.
Soon after the rebellion she came
north and lived at various times in Pitts-
burg , Philadelphia and Boston. Then
for some reason she went to Newark , N.
J. , where she resided until several years
ago , when she came to this city and took
two plain rooms up town. She was cul
tured , and was understood to have cor
respondence with a number of eminent
men hero and in England , under an as
sumed name. General Leo wrote to her
up to the time of his death. "Peggy , "
refused to disclose her real name to
her now friends , , but she evi
dently had distinguished relatives in
England. She admitted close relation
ship to Mrs. Gladstone and the duchess
of Cumherland. Her knowledge of the
English stage and its lights was also ex
tensive , and she said she had Known all
the leading actors and actresses of a
quarter of u century ago in Lomlen. Un
known "Peggy" was not quite fifty years
old , and had evidently been handsome
in her younger days. She once ad
mitted in confidence that her husband's
name was Edward Lewis , but never re
vealed her maiden namo.
"UMBRELLAS TO MEND. "
A Comparatively Now Industry ,
Witb bonio Figures.
Inuianapolis News : An umbrella re
pairer's den is almost us interesting a
place as an old book shop. A few years
ago , when tramps wcro abroad in the
land in largo numbers , many of thorn
armed themselves with hammers and
umbrella frames that the tinker's disguise
might shield thorn in the surreptitious in
spection of window fastenings. But now
the repairer of faded and infirm um
brellas has a place in the world , and al
though rascals may bo in the business ,
they are fewer than they used to bo.
There are in this city some six or eight
men who conduct hospitals for the treat
ment of raiu-protcctorc , nnd two men
manufacture umbrellas from stick to
cover at the order of customers.
Any boy that's got a head on 'im and
can do anything can mend an umbrella , "
said ono of tlio umbrella doctors to a re
porter as ho bent over a broken catch.
The gentleman said ho had several
men employed in drumming up trade ,
and a man and woman were at work in
his shop. Round about were umbrellas
m all stttgos of decay , with numerous
handles and other essentials. Ribs were
piled up without number , and ribs to
spare but not "spare-ribs. " Tno ana-
tOrnlcY ! construction of the umbrella Is
peculiar , and { he , fib is at ) important
feature. As the doctor said , 1C is tbo
most easily knocked out of gear of any
of the necessary parts.
"The best ribs are Imported from Eng
land. There are two kinds , the solid and
hollow. Umbrellas are not made so
good as formerly , The handle is tua

chief thing noticed In buyiujr , and a neat
handle piece will sell for a good price
an umbrella that will fall to pieces inside
of two weeks. The best articles are man
ufactured m Philadelphia and Mow
York. Tlio cheap gold-headed um
brellas are good for our business. Un
less they are exceptions to the general
rule , a few months finishes them , and wo
are called to make repairs. With the
ribs , the cover is an important part. Wo
furnish them for from $1 to $7. An um
brella can't bo EO badly mangled but wo
can tirit , so long as there is a little some
thing to buila on. Part of a stick and a
few ribs are enough to give us our bear
ings. "
The magnitude of the umbrella busi
ness may pretty fairly be estimated. Al
lowing one umbrella to every ten people
ple , and placing the population of In
dianupolU at 100,000 , there are 10,0000
umbrellas within the olncturo of the Belt
railroad. Of course they are changed
about and traded in mysterious ways.but
oflenues of this kind do not fall within
the provisions of rtho penal code. The
cityfs umbrellas , nro worth , if they bo
valued at the average of $1 each , the
sum of flO.OOO. Tito valuation may bo
rather large , but a few cents added
to the intrinsic worth will servo
to count for the , nlcntal disturbance of
owners in guarding their property.
Taking it for granted that every um
brella of the possible 100,000 has to bo re
paired during the lyear , and guessing at
the cost of the work for each one to bo Gc
( a very low estimate , by the way ) , some
i'Jea of the financial rctuins of the re
pairer will bo ginned.
The mender is ilo jcspccter of persons *
In his shop the most miserable looking
blue cotton wreck Is perched beside the
finest article iu silk. ! "Ho hasn't enough
sense to como in o\it of the ram , " is a
common expression indicating the worst
kind of intellectual poverty. Thoreau ,
the Walden hermit philosopher , liked to
be rallied on , but the idea of getting Wet
is not a pleasant ono to the average
mind. The dude may have his wet and
dry umbrella. A man less exquisite must
have a rain umbrella , sure. He had
better keep it in repair and ready for the
"rainy day" that is always coming , and
to this end should consult and patronize
the tinker , whoso specialty it is to keep
rainshioldors in good condition.
"Gentle as the Breeze of Evening. "

persons say , "because they constipate me
so. " Now the "Pullets" never do this.
They are so gentle and mild that their

natural movement of the bowels , and no
unpleasant ofleqta are left behind.
