VERDICF OF THE VISITORS , They Declare the Oonnoil Bluffs Fire Alarm System a Failure. PAYING FOR A DEAD HORSE * The Hazard Suit A nln t the City The U. P. Preparing to I'unh Up Tenth ArenHo Morao Jury Dlangrnco. The Visiting Aldortnen. Last week Aldermen Horn and Thor- oughgood , of Jancsvlllo , WisJ visited this city for the purpose of Investigating he workings of the tire and police alarm , Lhat city being about to adopt some system. As the Uamowell and Richmond companies had each made propositions to put alarm boxes into Jancsvllle , the council of that city was in much the same sort of a perplexity as that of this city was some time ago. It was a question which to adopt. As the ( Saraewell Is ucfld in Omaha and the lUohmond on : hls side of the river , the committee came hither to see for themselves. They have returned home , and their ollleial report to the council on Monday evening was n favor of the Game well and Is as Follows : * The undersigned , at the suggestion and wishes of the members of the council , visited Omaha , Council Blutr.s and Chicago for the purpose of gcttlnit at the facts and otherwise determining which ut the two systems of lire alarm telegraph the Oamewell and Klch- nioiul would be the proper one for the city of Janesvlllo to adopt. Wo have dune so , and In company with the lending olllcers of llu city council the alarms wore tested a number of times both patrol and lire and we pronounce In favor of the ( Inmnwell. The latter Ims never failed tlieni since It was put lu. The mayor and lenders of the lire de partment visited Denver and other largo Miles for the same purpose wo were there tor , before they decided which to adopt The Itlchmond , at Council Blulfs , Is a failure , md has been a source of trouble and cannot MJ depended upon. 1 am personally ac quainted with Cnlof Kncineer TeniDletoD , of the above place , lie would not nor did not speak In Its favor , although he was one who was favorable to Its purchase. We have made a thorough Investigation of this matter , both with Interested and disinterested parties. from the mayors of the two places down , and cannot favor any but the Game well ; for , In act , we believe , after n thorough canvass and tests given us verv freely In all Us branches , we think It to the Interest of the city of Jancsvllle to adopt the Garuewell system. ClIAHI.KS HOHN , J. TiionououoooT ) . The proposition by the Gamewell com pany was to put in a complete system , live miles of wire and ten boxes , bell striker , gongs and battery for iJ'J.OOO. add- ng live more boxes at the same time for 500. The council decided to contract 'or ' the fifteen boxes , the total to be $2,500. The Richmond company proposed to put n a system for about $500 loss. The ndditional boxes from the Gamewell company to cost $125 each , while the Elichmond was to furnish additional joxcs at $75 , which is less than what the [ Richmond furnishes additional boxes to Council Ulufl's. In the report of the tire committee of : he Janosville council it was staled that : ho committee had some time ago written to the chief engineer of the lire depart ment of Couiicil Bluffs about the Richmond mend system and received the reply that "it was no good , and advising trie citv not to try it. He thought the Gamuwefi the only perfect system. " This published statement , together with the written report of the visitors , puts Chief Templeton on record as against the Richmond system. A HER questioner asked him about it yesterday. Chief Templeton emphatically denies haying received any such letter of in quiry , and denies with equal strength Lhat ho ever made such response , nnuin fact asserts that ho bad never written any loiter to anyone giving his opinion of the system or its workings. The committee must have written to the ox-chief of the department , Pat Lacy , for ho is an open enemy of the Richmond and the opinion expressed is just what he entertains. The two visiting aldermen from Wis consin were shown around the clly by Mr. Lacy , and whatever impressions they received concerning the workings of the Richmond they got largely from him. Mayor Groneweg was with them also in a circuit of the city. But ono test was made , so far as known , and this was box 14. This box was pulled and came in all right , the fire department respond ing promptly. The mayor tried to turn in a police call but it did not seem to work , and Bradley , the superintendent ot the tire alarm , coming up , ho turned in the uolico call without any ditliculty. It was then discovered that the mayor had turned his key the Avrong wivy , not un derstanding how to turn in a police call. The visitors seemed satisfied nnd the mayor acknowledged his mistake. Chief Templeton says ho had no con versation with the visitors to any extent , and certainly did not intend to convoy the impression that the Richmond was not working all right Ho says he only saw Alderman Thoroughgood for a few minutes. Mr. Thoroughgood came into bis cigar factory to sell him some boxes , he being a manufacturer , nnd having several customers hero , among them Mr. Templeton , The visitor talked business , and there was only a casual reference made to the alarm. Templeton asked him bow he found things and the visitor replied that they pulled ono box and it came in all right , but that the police alarm did not , but that was because the mayor did not understand how to turn the Key. As is generally known there has been a hot and steady light over the system since it was introduced here , and there are so many who do not have faith in its workings that it is almost impossible tor it to give satisfaction. Added to this is the natural distrust of anything which has not had time to fully establish Its reputation for reliability. Then there have been troubles in getting the system in and getting it to worK smoothly. With delays and criticisms and a general lack of faith the system is still held here in an experimental condition , but Chief Tern- plpton and others familiar with the de tails say it has never failed in time of need ; and that they are willing and anx ious to have any trial of it made at any time. The chief oilers any visitors or olllcials the chance to go out and pull any box at any time and thus see if the the alarm docs not work satisfactorily. Ho seems to be strongly inclined to the belief that the Richmond system is all right , and hence protests against being put before the public as pronouncing it as "no good. " The two nldurmen who visited this city ( teem to have raised a ntorm all around. On reaching home they pre sented a bill of $100 for their expenses. The bill was allowed by the council , but the citi/ena of that charming llttlo place are very cautious and economical , and they went to figuring. They found that it cost $1'J a day to cacli alderman to thus make thu trip. There is a howl now for an Itemized bill , nnd an intimation that the aldermen who voted for its al lowance are liable to a line of $50 each. Alderman Thoroughgood is reported as saying that the trip cost him more money than he received ; that while absent he had to incur some extra expense in order to in part repay the oflicials for the kind manner in which they were received and shown around. The Union I'aclllo and the Dlufh. The visit of the Union Pacific otuciuU to this Side of the river was attendeil with the usual amount of mystery , but the purposes are now Uelinitely an nounced. They have decided to begin work on the Tenth avenue route as soon as they can secure the necessary lots , most of which have already boon pur chased. The ordinance under which they secure the right of way provides that they twist have the track down nnd the depot built by thu 81st of December. They intend to comply m that respect , nnd hence work will necessarily com- mcnco very soon. The now freight depot is to bo located on the southwest corner of Tenth avenue and Sixth street , just back of what is known as the shot tower. or nail works. As soon us completed that will bo put In operation for the re ceiving and shipping of freights , and the passenger business will be continued at the Broadway dummy depot. There are many Inquiries as to how the now bridge is to bo operated. The rail way managers themselves are undecided. They will have to experiment somewhat before making permanent arrangement * . It Is reported that when the bridge is completed the company will throw open the wagon and foot ways for free use by the public for thirty days , so as to deter mine , if possible , as to what the probable traffic will bo. The ditllcultics attending the operating of the now bridge are nu merous. It is not fully demonstrated yet whether many teams can bo driven across with safety , oven if trains are not on the bridge at the same time. The chief doubts arise , however , concerning the amount of traffic which the company can get for its wagon part of the bridge. There are no paved streets leading to the now bridge , and teams can hardly draw heavy loads through the mud so long a distance. This can only bo determined by actual trial for a period of several months , by which time it will become evident how many people want to avail themselves of this way of getting cross the river. During this experimental period the ferry cars will continue to run , and the public will bo given a chance to show whether the porferenco is for going over in ferry cars , or driving across the bridge. The operation of the bridge will depend largely on the result as shown by this sort of a test of the public pulse. The double track will bo ready for operation by the 1st of October. The wagon ways and approaches will be completed by the middle of October. As soon as possible after the completion of the double tracks there will be several more ferry trains put on. so as to better accommodate the rush of teams , and the better to test the question as to whether Irivers prefer to cross with their teams by the ferry train , or by the wagon way.

The gas ordinances referred to the committee of the whole council , havn not been acted upon yet in committee , and in consequence cannot come up at to night's meeting of the council. It is possible that another ordinance may bo presented for reference , while it Is very probable that one of the ordinances already In will bo amended so as to aflbrd still cheaper gas , but this will not lake place to-night , as those interested are not m the city. It is suggested that the mayor , when he calls the committee of the whole together also notify those in terested in the different ordinances be fore the committee , so they may have representatives present. In such case the notification should bo sent out at least three days previous to such meet ing. The Pnvluc Contract. The Omaha and Council Bluffs Paving company yesterday signed the paving contract. This Insures the paving of all the streets advertised except the follow ing : Fourth street from north side of Worth street to Eleventh avenue , Harrison risen street from Washington avenue to the north line of lot 51.

In the district court yesterday the case of Hazard against the city was on trial. In this case the plaintiff' endeavors to re cover damages for the loss of a valuable horse. The horse was coming down Park avenue , and just as he turned into Plerco street slipped and broke his leg , so that ho had to be shot. The horse was valued at $3,000 , and the plaintiff claims that the bad condition of the street was the cause of the accident. The case was tried before - fore a jury , but the jury disagreed.
