taker says he will cover the five miles under
mrteen minutes. If he does , be'll have to
beat any riding he has ever done here. The
race Is for $200 a side , and there Is no ground

Chemical Works. Oxford Copper and bulphur
company , and Standard Match company ,

docks there had been a largo num
ber of vessels. They were , however.
towed out Into the stream , but
none too soon. First one pier took fire , then
another and another , until four large piers
were In flames. By this time the fire tugs
bad arrived and they fought the fire from the
water. Each of them threw several streams
upon the burning piers and U was only the
efforts of the men on the tugs that checked
the spread of the flamns , and saved the fac
tories and lumber yards along the water
front.
On the land side the fire had also been got
ten under control , and the ofllce , storehouse
and neighboring tanks were saved. The
Standard people estimate their loss at about
91,000,000. There was no Insurance.

A Midsummer Night' * Dream.
The summer evening concert at Motz's
Tenth street garden last evening was a
musical treat und heartily enjoyed by a
air sized and very 'appreciative audi
ence. Among the numbers on the pro
gramme was Schubert's serenade ; South
ern songs of AiuoVica , with violin solo
> y Nahan Franko ; Strauss' waltz , Morn-
net ; overture , from Scmiramidc , Uossini ;
selections from Kigolletto , Verdi : Span-
sh dances , Mor/.kowaki , and selections
Tpru the beautiful , ppera of Carmen ,
! i/et. It was a pleasure to hear Nahan
franko's finished violin performance.
His rendering of thoSpanish , dances , al
though brilliant in some of the higher
strains , was in a degree preliminary to
the delicacy and feeling and remarkable
nirity of tone which characterized the
oyerturo from Somiramide. The most
diftlcult compositions he renders with
ease , and such mclifluous notes as roll
From his instrument are seldom heard
From a violin. Indeed , his whole orches
tra , the Philharmonic , is of a high artistic
quality , and well worth any trouble al
most to hear.

A special meeting of the city couucil
was hold last night , on call of live mem
bers und the mayor ,
The meeting was for the purpose of de
ciding on the necessity of widening Thir
teenth street from Custullar to Spring ,
the ordinance to change the grudo of
California street from Nineteenth to
Twenty-second and to receive apprais
er's report thereon , to appoint apprais
ers to estimate the damages on change of
Cuss street grudo from Nineteenth to
Twenty-second , the change of grade of
Davenport street from Ninth to Tenth
and the consideration of ordinances es
tablishing sewer districts fifty-six , fifty-
seven and fifty-eight.
On call of the roll a bare quorum was
present ten members.

derstood there was to bo a one-foot
change , but the ordinance road a two-
foot cut. Mr. Barber , one of the prop

sired by certain of tbo property holders

it wrong that those who built upon
proper grade should bo made to
suffer for the negligence of those
who failed to regard the established
grade lino. Mr. Joslyn said the change
bcnelittod all the property owners but
perhaps three , and the three were not
damaged.

street ordinance should bo brought in.
On reconvening , the matter of achango
of grade on California street was referred
to the chairman of the board of public
works , with power to act.
SALOONS IN ALLEYS.
Another Metropolitan Feature The
City Auditor Tnlkn.
Omaha is showing its metropolitan
character in some new wuy every day.
The latest is the establishment of saloons
in alloys , which is a feature of the big
cities of the world. One of these saloons
has been opened in the alley near the
postollicc , and another is about to start
in the alley back of the court house.
"I think this is a good idea , " said City
Auditor Goodrich yesterday morning. "If
wo are to have saloons , it seems to me that
the more secluded places they are in the
less complajntthe police will have of any
nuisance arising from their presence. It
is also a great benefit to denominational
drinking. In all the large cities I have
visited , tbo very best saloons have alley
locations. "
"Rather bad for fat men , " remarked a
waggish bystander. "Our alloys arc too
narrow for the comfortable navigation of
some people I know. "
"There's where you're wrong , " replied
the genial auditor. "It would bo a de
cided benefit no danger of staggering ,
you see. "
"Speaking of saloons , " said the deputy
city clerk , "reminds me thut six saloons
have given up tiic ghost and closed their
doors. We have 5J41 loft , however. "
ncautiful Windows.
There is now a largo force of carpen
ters engaged in putting the now chamber
of commerce into condition for opening.
The wainscotting , which is about nine
feet high , m of hard polished and paneled
wood , and is the most bountiful thing of
the kind in tbo citv. The stained class
windows have arrived and will bo placed
In position in a few days. Throe ol
these will bo inserted in the windows on
the south end of the chamber , and repre
sent hogs , cattle and sheep , while in the
two square openings in the ceiling
under the skylight will be placed beauti
fully colored cmblomu of the grain and
other producing business.
