'Squire Bitrgs in moving his justice of fice to Mam street has made a decided departure from the old customs. For years every justice ollico has been on Broadway and closely huddled together. This Is the lirst otlico of the kind with which Mam street has been favored. An other departure is in the fact that tlio ollico is on the ground iloor. Heretofore ( ivory ollico has been on the second Iloor. The move is therefore a decided innova tion. As he is now located near to the new court Mouse , and as the attorneys are beginning to move their headquar ters in that direction , it seems that ere long the legal center of the city will have changed a great deal.

Another Prize Fight AIIIOMR the Blind Jlllla A Marrlago In the Sign language Fresh Sa loon Gaaei. Urlck Struct Paving. There has been some talk of late in re gard to using brink for paving purposes , or at least making the experiment. There seems to bo a variety of opinion , yet there is a unanimity in the wish that some method of paving could be secured by which the money for material as well as labor could be retained in this city. The following are some of the opinions expressed : Chris Straub "I have enquired Into the matter somuwhat , and think brick uavemcnt would wear as well as any we could get. 1 put down some at the Institution for the deat and ( hunt ) for the carriage drive-way. It was hard burned brick find It works lirst rate. As npivcmmitl can't see \vhv It should not work well. Wo have the rljjht kind of material here and plenty of It. It would have to DO burned hard and the very best brick used for the top course. There should be from four to six Inches of snnd as a foundation , then a course of brick laid Hat then two or three Inches of sand and tlio bust burned brick then stood on end. It can be laid more evenly than granite and Is nearly as smooth us wooden pavement. It Is better than wooden blocks for the hillsides as It U not so slippery. It also wears more even than Kr.\nlte. I would advise a block of It bo laid as an experiment , atonre. Harry Blrklnblne , of the water works company , who has given much study to such matters , and Is one of the best engineers In this part of the world , said : "I would tliliik we had better get good sldewnlk brick before we try to put them Infer for struct paving. Our brlckm ifcers turn nut as Kood work as It Is possible from the clay obtainable here , but examine the brick side walks of the city and see how many broken bricks you will llnd. Will bricks that will not stand sidewalk wear do von for streets ? Take the way our bricks aio delivered , and contrast It with iho way they deliver thorn In the east. Here a wagon Is unloaded by hand , while In the east their dump the brick right out of a cart , upon a stone pave ment , and then have fewer 'bats' than wo do here. 1 predict that should a brick pave ment be laid made of our clav It would be full of holes Inside of a year. By enclneer- IIIK formula the present stone pavement would carry a load fully three times as great as one of brick. As there ate tfraredoubls as to even securing the least practical success out of hrlck for street pavements , and we do know that wood , stone , etc. , make good and practical streets , why waste auy money tryIng - Ing experiments. Will those who are tavor- Ing brick for pavlne tell us why that In the principal cities wheie there Is any great amount of travel , that the old brick side walks arc used no more ? Is U not because they do not stand the wear , and It Is found to be cheaper to use stone ? " "Do you think that It Is possible to burn brick hard enough to answer the purpose ? " "Not with this clay. 1 don't believe It can bo done. " "If they were to use brick what would you suggest In rcgord to a foundation1' " 1 should lay it on a well rammed travel bed. and lay the brick dry , and 1111 the cracks with asphaltum. " "How about the comparative expense ? " " 1 luiveu't tlcured It , but my Impression Is that cedar block could be laid quite as cheaply. But what Is the matter with the city utlll/.ing the gravel beds limy already own or at least they are a part of the park property north of tlio city ? If they want to keup the money lor material right here they can iiso that travel on the side streets any way , where there is mainly light travel. About eighteen Inches on a street would make a Una road. It should be sciecncd , the coarser bolng used for the bed , the liner on top. " Mr. JninoR Wlckham "I believe brick pav- inir Is lust the thine. It won't rot out like the cedar blocks , that's certain. 1 know that selected bricks can be had right here which will stand aiiv amount of hard travel over them. When they get to paving Fourth street 1 inn going to put In some brick paving there and try It. We've got 150 feet there and the council says we may pave with brick. If you want to see how brick will stand heavy travel just look at a little spot on Broadway , be tween the American express company and the First National bank. 1 did that myself when thn street was paved. The top of a cis tern there Is bricked over. It is right be tween thn railway track , and there has been a good deal of travel over those bricks. Co and sea how they have stood it 1'ca , 1 be lieve in brick paving , for then every dollar ot the cost of such Improvement would be left right hero at home , Instead of being sent away. The wooden paving will soon becin to rot out and be full of pitch holes , as In other cities. The brick will stand If properly put down. Two layers ought to do. The bottom one could be laid Hat and thu upper one on edjo. With a good foundation the brick , If hard burned , would stand lor many years. It might cost a li'Mo more than the wooden blocks , but would last enough longer besides leaving all the money right at home. " Sewer Assessments. Yesterday was the last day for filing protests against the assessments as pub lished for tlio construction of the Fifth avenue sower. There wore several filed , and It Is probable that the city council will have no little discussion and dilli- culty in settling upoc some plan for an equitable distribution of the expense of the improvement. It appears that the sewerage system in the Fourth ward starts in the center of the city , where there is valuable property , and increases in si/o aa it extends towards the less valu able portion , where there arc less build ing improvements and loss need for sower. By the present plan of as sessing the cost to the ad jacent property it comes to pass that a lot located near the sewer ditch has to pay three- times as much for its sewer as a much inoro valuable lot in the very heart of the city. Of course it is necessary to increase the size of the sewer as it extends out , as it has ruoro to carry , but those complaining assort that this extra size is for the benefit of others besldo those in front of whoso property it chances to bo laid. Most of the council and some of the city otlicials admit that there is a seeming injustice in this mode of assessment , but whether the assess * ment can bo made legally in unj dill'eront way is a matter of doubt , The legal questions involved are beinc looked up. aud will bo presented in ful at next Monday'3 meeting of the citj council. If it is possible to give any re lief to tlioso in front of whoso property the largo size sewer is laid there seems a disposition to grant it. A Mne-Itouml Prize Fight. At an early hour yesterday morning the police received a telephone messagt from Omaha notifying them to be on th < lookout for a prize fight which was goint to take place at daybreak on the Iowa sldo of the river , and the principals will the spectators were to cross the rivei from Omaha at early dawn. For sonic reason or other , little credence was giver the matter and it was not until about ! o'clock when ono of the principals , Thomas H. Brooks , was seen upon ttu streets with his knuckles and face spottci with court plaster , that tin "till" was thought to bo a correct one It was then learned that "Tom" Brooks of Council Muffs , and "Charlio" Laird of Omaha , had a nine-round barc-nuokli light shortly after dav break at Judsou' sand bank , just above the city limits , it the presence of FOMO twenty-live person for a purse of f50. The men strippei weighing 135 pounds cash , and thu lirs round Brooks was knocked olT his pin three times by his opponent , but tinull. in the ninth round got even and retaliate by giving Laird three falls caused b , heavy blows. In the tenth rouu Laird failed to como to the front who ; time was called nnd Brooks was awarded the fGO stake money. For his trouble Brooks now wrars a patch of black court plaster an inch and a half square on his left check , a couple of pieces upon his forehead and nil of the knuckles upon both his "dukr-s" are similarly decorated , but ho got $50 for It. Brooks has previously had thn reputa tion of being a fair boxer , but this is the first ring contest he has received credit for. Caplit Needs No Tongue. Last evening there was a peculiarly in teresting marriage ceremony and u most enjoyable social gathering at the resi dence of Mr. D. J. Smith , on Madison street. The happy .nan was Prof. F. C. Holloway , of the institute for the deaf nnd dumb , and the bride was Mr. Smith's daughter , Miss Minnie B. Smith. Prof. Holloway Is n mute , whoso old home was In Ccntorvllle , la. Ho was craduatod from the institution m which he now serves as teacher , and also from the Na tional Deaf Mute college at Washington , D. C. He is a thoroughly cultured gentle man , a valuable member of the corps of instructors since , 1871) ) , and a young man who wins and holds friends. The worthy lady whom ho has thus won is also n graduate of the institution hero. She is a semi-mute , having lost her hearing when about ten years of age , and retaining her powers of speech. The ceremony was performed by Nov. G. W. Crofts , pastor ot the First Congregational church. Prof. WyckofT Interpreted it in the sign language. The ceremony was watched eigcrly by the compuny of friends there gathered , aud at its close there was an equally eager and honest proffering of well wishes. Among those present were Superintendent Hothurt nnd wife nnd others connected with the institution. The othec invitations were confined to the relatives and immediate friends. Thu young couple wore also substantially remembered with numerous and elegant presents. The bar fixtures and furniture of the the St. Louis house will bo sold at shcrilFs sale , Monday , Oct. 3 , at 0 o'clock a. m. More Hainan GARPB. Several new saloon cases wore started yesterday. One was a petition asking that Mr. Peter Bcchtelo , whoso hotel is so well known , and who is himself ono of the oldest citizens , bo brought before the bar to answer to the charge of contempt in not having obeyed the writ of injunc tion issued some time ago , by which ho was forbidden to longer have a bar in connection with his hotel. There were several petitions filed for writs of injunc tion to be Issued. Among them were F. McAdams , H. Wcgcuor , George Hanson and Gus Groto. The now petitions show Stone & Sims as attorneys for A. Over- ton , who is the relater in those petitions , as thn representative of the prohibition prosecution. Heretofore Mr. Sims has been alone in thene cases , but now his partner is to take hold also , and thus add strength to the prosecution , if strength was needed , which those who have watched Mr. Sims' vigorous prosecution will hardly admit.
