witli u brief review of the work , now all

Blriu'turo.H of the kind in the world is a
fact ; and to tin ; men who by their pcrt-c-
vcrenco and intelligence have brought
their Inborn to a hitocehtful termination
the freatoM of honor is duo. In com
pany with Knyliu'OT E. Dnryeu a BIK
reporter yesterday made the tour of the
bridge. Tlio Hrbt wjiiMition the visitor
cxpc'rioniU'h when he lirbt sets foot upon
the bridge proper , and looks down hixt.v-
five feet through u net work of massive
steel beams , is one of wonderment that
bui'h u inlfjhty cdlllco ctnilil bo erected
. in two short years. Then a little furthur
on there rises forty foot above the lloor
four { freut spans 250 feet in length , and
ho guiitf liU lh" > l idea of the pruat
btroiifjth of the structure.
The new bridge is 1.7. > 0foct in length ,
nnd has ten spans. Four of these are
150 ! feet in length each , and the remain
ing six , three at each end , are what is
called "dock" MMIIS , and each ono is
12.r feet in length. The width over all ,
is T > 4 feet. The heigth of the lloor above
low water. i CM feet. In the centre are
the two tracks , on either side a wagon
road 7 tent in width , and on the extreme
outer edges , buparated from the road
bed by iron railings , are the walks for
'
foot p'aSM'iigers. The four main or cen
tral wpiuib ruht upon huge granite piers.
Thcsu great towers > of masonry are 1 lit
loot in height , and the lir.st luy6V of
btono rchti 74 feet beneath the surface
of "low water. " The length of each
pi or is Gri feet at the water's edge and II !
ieet nnder the coping or bolting. Its
thickne-sh ranges from 112 feet at the bottom
tom to 8 foot at the toil. Knch pier is
faced with granite and filled in with
largo Btoao. The six ender "deck" spans
rest upon thu old iron piers , but the.-o
will bo replaced with btono towers dur
ing the coining year. The bridge will
withstand a pres-auro of o\er four tons
to the square foot.
It will bo remembered that although
thiu bridge is entirely now with the ex
ception of the iron jnorh that tboro hub
been no stoppage of running trains on
regular timu. This is the more remark-
nblo from the fact that the iron piers
\voro torn down and new ones of stone
built. Mr. Duryea stated that this was
no uncommon feat of engineering skill
with Mimll bridges , but was never before
attempted with ono of such great
dimensions us the ono at Omaha. The
masonry work was done by T. Saulpaugh
of Minneapolis.
The work was commenced about the
first of October , \Wt \ , and an average of
I'Jo men per day have been steadily om-
plo.vod up to the present time. The ln t
JhiiVhlng touches will bo put on during
the present week. The stcol u-ed in
construction was furnished by the
Union Mridge C'o. , of New York , nnd
the work was done under the super
vision of Chief engineer George S.
Merion , who made the designs. What
the o\act cost will bo is not known at
prot-ont , and it will bo some months be
fore it can liu accurately stated. It will ,
how over , bo something less than
S)00HK ! ) ( > , probably about 4S50.000. The
telegraph wires run along the north
hide of the bridge , between the wagon
road and the tracks , while the tele-
phoao wires occupy a similar position
on the south nido.
I Fustonod to the west end of the main
t-pan is a largo bron/o fhiold on which is
been a plow , nn anchor and a trip ham
mer which. , being interpreted , reads :
"Agrioulturo , Commerce and Manu
facture.1 At the east end in the center
of the span id a mammoth lutlfrxlo's
head , also of bronze. This constitutes
the decorations of the btruc-
turo , but it needs no moro.
It is magnificent enough in it&olf.
UIK M'AUON UOAI ) .
The approaches at both ends of the
bridge are of easy grade and are paved
with bandstonc b'locks. From this side
of the river the bridge is reached from
Loavonworth street , from which a Hue
dirt road 'ms ' hccn made up to the approach
preach , which is on the north &ido of
the tracks. About twenty feet beyond
the toll-house is a small bridge for the
railroud tracks under which yon pa
iiiul take the south or right-ham ! road
way. This is sovoa foot in width and
tlie tloor is made of heavy oak timbers
three inches in thickness. The cracks
are filled with tar to prevent water from
rotting the wood. This roadway is sop-
nrutcd from the tracks by a bteel lattice
live fcot high , and from the foot-path
by a railing four feet high. The outer
rail of the bridge is over five feet in
height , There bus been some fear o.x-
in-ohbod by timid drivers , that borious
uccidonts would bo of frequent occur
rence owing to the close proximity of
the road to the railway tracks. This
car , while natural , Is believed to bo
unnecessary , inasmuch as the builders
took great pains to discover If such dan
ger existed. There are soeral bridges of
this pattern in Uio' country , ono at
Washington , ono at LoubvlUu and ono
at Fort Madison. No accidents have
occurred at either of these places , and
from the construction of the roadway it
is almost an impossibility that one
bhould occur. IJigli-sniritod horses
are usually led across the first time or
two , and after that no tioublo need bo
anticipated.
At the Iowa end you again pass be
neath the tracks to the north tide. From
this point a line dirt road has been built
aeiosp the bottoms into Council Klutla.
This new route across the river will un
doubtedly prove very popular for sev
eral leasons. first , a magnificent view
of the two cities and surrounding coun
try is obtainable from the bridge. Sec
ondly , the expense will be much less ,
and thirdly , the annoyance of being
cooped up In lilthycars will bo needless.
To theatre parties-coming from Councjl
JtlulTb to this city , the drive will bo par
ticularly enjoyable as it will be free
from all the annoyance and delays of the
present system.
THI : iinu ! > iit < ; .
Mr. George. S. Morison , the designer
and chief engineer Inm acquiicd a na
tional reputation as a builder of bridges.
Some of the finest structures in the
United States have been built under his
supervision , and ho is a rocogni/ed
authority on the subject. Quito re
cently Mr. Moribon hn.s associated him
self with Mr. .1. Corthill , and the firm
name is Morison & Corthill. Their
main office is in Chicago. They also
ha\o a branch olllco in New York. The
firm has just completed bridges across
the Missouri at Nebraska City and Kvilo.
They are also engaged at work at Sioux
City' , la. . Cairo , 111. , nnd Portland , Ore.
Mr. II. W. ParlJhurst , a most able
and ullleient engineer , was given charge
of the work at the beginning. Tic sur
rounded himself with a corps of com
petent engineers , but before the work
was far advanced had the misfortune to
break his leg. Ho was laid up for a
long1 time. IIo is now in charge of
Morrison ft Corthill's work at Sioux
City.Mr.
Mr. George A. Lcderlo succeeded Mr.
Parkhui'bt immediately after the hit
ter's accident and remained hero until
about Juno 1 of the present year , when
ho wont to Portland , Ore. , to oversee
the work at that city. Mr. Lederlo is
considered to bo one of the best civil en
gineers in the west and during his resi
dence in Omaha made many warm per
sonal friends.
On .Time 1 of the present year Mr. E.
Duryea assumed charge' and to him was
given the honor of completing the work.
Mr. Duryea is a young man about
thirty years of ago. Tie is eminently
fitted for the responsible- position ho oc
cupies , being thoroughly versed in civil
engineering and possessing the power
to command to a remarkable degree.
Mr. Duryea has many warm friends in
Omaha and Council Blutis.
Among the conspicuous assistant en
gineers actively engaged was Mr. K.
Modjeskabon of the famous tragedienne
of that name. Mr. Modjcska is a most
competent young man. IIo is now lo
cated at Cairo , 111.
In the clerical dopartmcntof the work
Mr. O. Gunkel , the storekeeper , is per
haps the best known. His duties are of
n jory exacting character , but has been
amy attended to. Mr. Gunkel is very
popular with hi associates , being a
highly educated gentleman and a
thorough business man.
Mr. .lamcb Sagnin , of Council BlulTs ,
was the foreman of erection. To him
was tmtriibted the duty of placing all
the lion beams and uprights in their
places. His was considered the most
difficult portion of the work.
Mr. Den n is Leonard of Chicago , bu-
porvlbcd the pneumatic work and was
given the sobriquet of ' 'the boss sand
hog. "
Mr. J. A. Dahlin was the time keeper
and ijrov'cd himself the right man for
the right place.
TIM : rASKALTins.
Ono of the most to be regretted
phases of bridge building is the loss of
human lifo which over accompanies the
work. There is always great danger
surrounding these great enterprises and
it bcems to bo impossible to guard
against fatal accidents. When work on
the bridge began Mr.Morbon instructed
his foremen to use every effort to only
employ experienced men and if any of
them proved to bo bunglers to discharge
them forthwith. This order was dic
tated by humane scntimontsand the re
sult shows his. wisdom. In the whole
two years during many days of which as
many as KIM ) men wore employed , the
total number of fatal accidents was only
llvo , and three died from the etlccts of
"casing fovor" that is , a disease con
tracted by working under pressure.
A. Morithow was the first victim.
During the first two months of the work
ho foil from the east end mid was in
stantly killed.
George Neobo was struck shortly after
by a falling plank nnd only 11 \ ed twen
four hours. Ho never regained con
sciousness.
During the wintnr John Montgomery ,
of Council Ululfs , slipped and fell into
the river and was drowned. His body
was never recovered. This was a par
ticularly sad event , as the deceased left
an aged father and mother who de
pended upon him fur gupiiort.
Hans Hanson , of Council HlulTo , wns
the next victim. It ib thought that
( lir/.incbs was tlie cause of his fall into
the river. His body was picked up at
Plattsmouth.
II. Peter McGroff also fell into the
river ami was drowned. Ills body was
found below Nebraska City.
The name of but one man ol the three
who died from "casing fever" is known ,
and that was Henry Miller.
One of the most wonderful escapes
from death was that of Nelson Swanson -
son , who , accompanied by three heavy
planks , fell from the bridge in < p the
river. Ho was Unhurt and reached
shore unaided. As soon as ho could
change his clothes ho was again at
work.
The efficient and untiring zeal mani
fested by Doctors Iloflman and Gal-
broth , the Union Pacific surgeons , in
the interests of the sick or injured dur
ing the past two years is spoken of in
the highest terms by all ol the work
men.
TIIV. OLD nitinoK.
It would not bo in keeping with the
intent of thi.s article to close without
giving the old bridge that has passed
from sight some little attention. At the
time of its construction it was consid
ered. as it really was , ono of the great
est results of Migineering skill in the
country. While it was built of iron and
IcbS elaborate than the great steel struc
ture which now spans the river , its cost
was moro than double that of the new
ono. It had but one track , no roadways
or walks for foot passengers , and the
piers were cheap aflairs as compared
with the present ones. The initiatory
steps for its construction were taken in
18ii ( ( , when an act allowing it to bo built
was passed by congress. A fight aroic
as to location , but ono was finally agreed
upon. Omaha voted $ .r > 0 , ( > ( ) ( ) in bonds to
aid the enterprise , providing that it
should have the main transfer depots ,
general ollices , machine shops , etc. The
bridge companv was authori/ed to issue
bonds to the amount of $ U , " > 00)0 ( ) ( ) , nnd
these bonds wore sold in England. The
contract for its construction was
awarded to the Boomer Bridge com
pany of Chicago on September 4 , ISbli ,
tne consideration being $1U8,5)0 ! ) ( ) , and
it was stipulated that the work slionld
be completed by Novem her 10 , ] bil. ( !
The contractors were greatly delayed ,
and in the following July the Union
Pacific : company annulled the contract
and took hold of the work thonibolvcs.
The bridge was not completed until
Match 2. ) . 187H. It was 2 , ) 2 foot long ,
and had eleven .spans. It was composed
entirely of iron. Nearly five hundred
men were constantly employed with the
exception of about eight months. The
elevation of the bridge was fifty feet
above high water mark , and was approached
preached from the Iowa side by n grade
of about ono and one-half miles long ,
thirty-five feet rise to the mile , and
from the Nebraska side by a trestle work
nojv filled in with earth.
Thus , what was considered a master
piece of engineering and mechanical
skill fourteen years ago. had to bo con
demned by the progressive spirit of the
day.
The KloiMeo' Chicago.
A Chicago reporter gives the follow
ing estimates ) of the wealth of some of
Chicago's millionaires : I should put
Potter Palmer , Marshal Field , P. D.
Armour ancl B. P. Ilutchinson at the
top of the list , though not necessarily in
that order. How much each is worth , is
of course , mere guess work. They don't
tell , hut it is a safe guess that each one
has moro than five and some of them
ton millions. Palmer's wealth is in real
estate. He owns thousands of feet along
State street , improved and unimproved.
Field is a big real estate owner , too. His
buildings are scattered through the
business districts. His interest in his
dry goods business represents an im
mense sum. Ho holds a good deal of
stock of various kinds , and bonds. P.
I ) . Armour , too , has a great may securi
ties and a vast fortune in his packing
house plautH. IIo often has $1,000 , < HN )
invested in wheat for the carrying
charges. IJ. P. Ilutchinson owns some
real estate , but nothing like the amount
held by the two first. Ho is a splendid
financier and keeps his wealth largely
In securities. Probably no man in Chicago
cage could produce as much cash as he.
la fifteen minutes by realising on his
securities , a thing real estate owners
could not do , ho could probably lay
down an > where from ' ,000,000 to
$1,000,0000. ,

An Ostrich UUCP.
A correspondent from Africa writes :
Wo were treated to an exhibition which
was a novelty wort traveling miles to
see an ostrich race. Two little carts ,
the frames of which wore made of bam
boo and the wheels similar to those of a
volooipedn , weighing , all the gear in
cluded , thirty-seven pounds , wore
In ought forth , and four very largo
ostriches , trained to the business and
Inuncsscd abreast , were attached to
each ono. The race course was a flat
piece of country about four miles in
length. The distance to bo traveled was
four miles straight away and return.
Two of the smallest specimens of Afri
can humanity over seen , lots than four
feet in height and weighing about sev
enty-two pounds apiece. Bosjesmon ,
pure and simple , were selected us char
ioteers , ancl all was ready. I had been
provided with n magnificent sixtoen-
liands high English hunter , having a
record nlacing him among the very best
saddle horses of Capo Town , and was
quarter way toward the turn of the
course , pushing my fresh steed to do
his best , when the feathered bipeds
started , and before I reached the turn
the ostrich chariots had passed mo , go
ing and returning like a Hash of light
ning. I did POO thein.andyot so quickly
did they vunltih into distance that a pen
picture , valuable for its acnuracy , can
not bo given. The time taken at the
starting point by several of the specta
tors was , for the four miles and return ,
nearly nineteen minutes , nol very ftist
for ostriches , they said , but too rapid
for English hunters , J know.

THE STREET-CORNER STATIONS'
A Description of tlio Manner In
Which J'olioc anil Fire Alarms
arc Tiii-ncil In to the Ceil-
tial Station ,
The motto "Ever Ready" has its * ad
monition heeded in an exaggerated
sense by the economical foresight of
Toodlcs at the auction , buying a door
plate marked Thompson , in anticipa
tion of having a daughter , who some
day would marry a man of that name.
Its strict observance leads to the con
struction of the lire escape and the
stand pipe on the ten story building and
the placing of the lifo boat on the ship
at sea in a dead calm. Not the least
useful of the adjuncts of the motto , is
the iron turret ab6ut the lamp post ,
visible on variQiis corners throughout
Omaha. In various cities these iron
boxes are painted of a flashy red , a
gaudy yellow or bright green , but in
Omaha their color is a nondescript hue.
They are alwny.s locked , always dull-
looking and if observed by the casual
passer-by , it is with a thought of what
they look like inside. Secretive over
these iron boxes. . , they give no outward
sign of their hidden mysteries. And
yet the "open sobamo" to their interior ,
gives power to quell riot and anarchyto
summon the engines to gathering
llamesto run down burglars and thieves
with their booty unconcealed and to re
move the fallen drunkard from his level
of the gutter to the- , moro friendly cell
at the station. And all this without
outcry or confusion. There is no bra
vado about electricity ; it never threat
ens but always acts , and electricity like
the lightning in the clouds is concealed
within these boxes.
If you are a well known citi'/.en of
good repute , and live in the vicinity of
any one of the twenty-eight police sig
nal boxes in Omaha , you may enjoy ono
of a policeman's perquisites , and bo pro
vided with a key to the turret nearest
your home. It is a simple brass key of
a peculiar pattern , and it fits a yielding
lock of still moro peculiar properties.
The interior of the box discloses an
other square iron box , surmounted by u
sloping roof after the style of Vesta's
temple , or like a child's toy house. A
brass crank is on the outside of the second
end iron boK. If it bo Bill Slug's day
oil , nnd ho is in your neighborhood in
dulging in his old familiar pasttimo of
cleaning out saloons , turn that crank at
random , and the police patrol wagon , I
like an unexpected clap of thunder , will ,
come clattering from around the corner , I
and ere Bill's frolics have been fully
begun , ho will bo on his ride to the
city jail , wondering how it all
came about. And how wns it effected ?
Simply enough. The revolution of the
crank opened currents of electricity , '
which flew along wires to a little room
in the city hall , whore an attendant sits
day and night before electric registeie. |
If ho were disposed to do/.o , the sharp
ring of a bell in response to the turn of
the crank will fully arouse him. Lot us >
say that your number is twenty-three. '
Then in reponso to the turn of the crank
there will bo registered in the tape in
the little room at the city hall , two
dashes , with a , space followed by three
dashes. This will indicate to the oper
ator in signal language , the location of
the box by its number , and warn him
that an ordinary brawl or a case of
drunkenness exists in the neighborhood.
Through a speaking tube ho communi
cates with the police in the jail , and at
once * there springs into the patrol
wagon , before which harnessed horses
stand waiting , sufficient force to meet
the emergency. It took the electric
currpnt'uii instant to do its work of reg
istration , another wns required to giyo
the police notice. How long a time will
bo consumed to reach the box depends
upon its distance and the llcotness of
"the horses.
Open the inner box and the sight
gieeling you will repay for the trouble.
There is a disc covered with glass and
encased with brass ; thoro.aro Rumfortl
coils tipped with nicklo , a'nd the \yholo
presents the appearance of the polished
instruments in the case of the surgeon.
On the face of the disc are several di
visions indicated with the names Kiot ,
Fire , Burglary and Thieves. An ad
justable index pointer , like the hand of
a clock explains their use. Should
IIoiT Most come into your neighborhood
any fine clay and attempt to incite the
idle crowd to deeds of anarchy , fix the
willing hand on the dlso at
"Hiot" and touch a spring.
Then in the little room at the city hall
your call will be two dots , a space and
three dots , telling of trouble at twenty-
three , followed by three clashes telling
in signal language , of a riot there. Ere
Mr. Most would conclude his cxodium
the patrol wagon filled with police and
followed by reserves gathered on the
way would appear and the reading of
the riot act would accompany the
dispersal of the mob. In case of fire ,
the indicator would bo adjusted to the
word "Firo" on the disc , and tlie signal
language would bo the number of the
box ancl two dashes , followed by a space
and three clashes. The electric spark
would bo transferred , caught on the fly
as it wore , from the city hull to the
Ilarnoy street station , and the requisite
alarm would bo turned. Your wonder
is which most to ndmlro , the simplicity
of the mechanicul device of the box or
its efficiency. But hold ! The interior
box closed it remains to lock the outer
ono. You can't remove the key ! And
there the peculiar properties of the
lock are visible. It requires a release
key to effect the removal of your own
from the lock , Your key is numbered ,
and obi citi/.cn of good repute , if , at any
time , you should prove of a sportive dis
position , and turn in an alarm simply
lor fun , you would bo surely identified
by the number of your key held fast in
the lock , and your punishment would
follow.
In the days of ' 71 when Tweed and
Genet and the old crowd wore kings' ' ,
contractors wore diamonds , sped fast
horseflesh , and gave entertainments lit
for Ampliytrion. At a little supper
given to a visiting delegation of Phila
delphia firemen , the que&Uon of the
promptness of the lire departments of
the respoetivo cities .arose. Bets wore
made , of big money too , and one of the
Now Yorkers turned in a general alarm
from the nearest corner. It was fol
lowed by a response of all the engines in
New York city. The Now Yorkers won
the bet , but great indignation was felt
tit the outragu and expense to the city ,
nnd nn investigation followed. It wa3
impossible to fasten the crime on any
one , as many had keys. Thu prevention
of a like scene led to the numbering ol
the various keys given out , nnd then
came the invention of. the release key
for greater precaution.
Follow the wire lead ing from the iron
boxes and they will lead you Joviir house
tops , across open spaces , and still over
other wires , but they will all converge
in the little room at the city hall. It ia
the clcctricalroom of the police nndflro
departments of Omaha. It Is a plain
room filled with all kindsof queer elec
trical apparatus , nnd it costs the . city
$300 a month to maintain it.
