. "We liavo a 400,000 , pound lifting power on
tnd hc'sdaneIng on the bottom .now , You
didn't know what dangcr you were In , " said
Cothrnctor Scully to a BEE reporter , who sat
rubbing his cars in the little flat boat that
( lees duty as an offlco for the bridge building
lirni of I1OikhlS & Scully.Vo put on an
extra pressure of tenpounds this morning , "
ho added.
"What did you do that fori" asked the reporter -
porter , who thought for a moment that
' there might have been some personal rca-
* 005.
"Oh , 'ust ' to force out the ice upon which ,
* ho caisson Is resting , and then I didn't know
; you wcro down tiiero when I gave the order , "
was the answer , and the r0portcr accepted
- the apology.
: Citizens of Omaha who nightly sit cosily In
their warm apartments , may not have known
that while they are enjoying the comforts of
life , there arc -others , fathoms below theater
ator of the Missouri , who hourly risk
their Jives In ttio endeavor to-
earn but average wages. All
hrough the wintry blizzards as well as the
Inhllcr weather of the past winter , working-
Inca have been busy arranging the sections
of the bridge that in future vIll form another -
other connecting link between Council
Bluffs nod Omaha. Ono hundred and forty-
seven of them iwo now on the I"Y roll , mid
Uiwards of O,0OO tins been expetided by the
Contractors up to date. On Wednesday the
first caisslon Was completed and allowed to
sink to thu bottom of too river on tiio Nebraska -
braska sitlo , the ice upon which it stood first
being cut away , anl forty-eight mon being
put to man the screws that aided In its do-
scent. Thursday the air was turned on to
the air chamber , and yesterday the llrstgnng
of men went to the bottom , where they vliL
vork In twolvo-hour shifts at p3.2 ! per day.
The day shift was composed of P. M. I'cter-
* 011 , foreman , and John lianloy , Gus ilerger
Jtiar1es Camobehl Doe Dougherty and
Jharlle Steward. kho seventh man was the
IJis reporter , who hind previously
iortltlcd himsolt. and made his
way over the treacherous ice to
the point whore the scaffolding indicated
. that the men were at work. Mounting an
Ico-coverod ladder , ho made his way-to a
point whore an iron tubing Toso from the
water and was guarded by a man in an oil-
akin. The tubing looked like an ordinary
moko-stack , and was closed by a h avy iron
.loor which the guardian said was , liold In
place by th compressed air beneath , it.
"Some one vtll want to come out in a minute
or two , " ho said , "and then you can go
down. "
Somcono did want to como out , and they
511(1 come but the reporter didn't want to go
tlowr1. ¶ Iho whistling of the condensed air
s it tuhod out , and the vOlumes of apiarcnt
steam that followed the opening of the door
didn't exactly scare him , but they unsettled
bIsncrvcs and ho at on the Icy stringer and
thought H finally thought it was time to.
go down , and when tim next man came out
ie slipped in. Ih a moment ho tound himself
In a narrow funnel , gatn , ching1ngto an Icy
ladiler , with lb famtlight of acanilie beneath
ililil , a fast closing door above him , and a
iorriblo rtahing sound filling his oars as the
- pompressed air rushed into the chamber.
-Io was in the first utr lock , and as ho stood
: - clinging to tIm ladder , ho imagined ho hoard
p vOIce from below tolling him to conic on
Iowu and he went. When the bottom of the
ladder was reached , tharo was a ai of
: bovorat feet , and this ho covered by a drop
; . when once moro the Iron door closed in and
' ho was in tIm "air chamber" of the caisson.
The wahiswero of heavy boiler Iron , braced
% vih heavy wooden beams , and all vero
overed with an Icy coating that glistened
brightly in the light of the candles. Half a
hoaen won wcro.at work up' to their waists
klnwater , but the reporter coulti hear nothing.
.Zot even th heavy strokea of a sledge ham-
) northat was wcildcd byonoof thomcould
nako themselves bcard through the corn-
wessod qir that filled his oars. His own
oIco sonndcd like a far-away whisper
vhen lie endcavpred to explain Ibis
4 mission , and ho could only judge
of the reply by watching the
lips of the men that poko. Finally one of
thorn caught him by the nose and motioped
im to blow iV , Whlohho ditlto the best of his
ability and after a second trial something
acowcd to burst and be could benz- with ono
ear. A few minutes later and the other
'cleared itself anti then hodrew h long breath
and felt at home.
Foreman Peterson then'informed ' him that
they vore about twenty foot below the stir-
face of the river and that the caisson was
tssttng on some twenty-seven inches of ice.
Who air chamber in whiih the inca were
worhing s'a3 about thirty-eight feet long
eighteen in width and eight In 'height ' , and
that dynamite was being used to shatter the
ice , so that the structure would rest on tim
rand. Once th ro the blow pipe would clear
uvay the thirty feet of sand that stood be-
wecn thorn nn l bedrock , aftorwhich the
caisson vould bo tilled with concrete
and work commenced on another.
The air pressure would bo increased
about. one-half pound to the square inch for
pvel..v foot they went down , but It would not
injure any one phi3siciahly able to stand it.
ThoseBufforing from heart or lung disciscs
Were not wanted as it only meautsuddon
. .ath to them. th40 reiorter hero felt for
boart and found It ' ! stIil.moving and
yaitcd long enough to ask I ! the foreman had
ovcr.bcon ln'a worse place.
"I've' been in the btzsiness fifteen years ,
and bavo boon subjected to a forty-four-
hound iressuro , but it never hiashurt mc so
far. And when you hcar any ono telling you
of all the mpn this business kilis don't 'bo-
llevo thom ; thoy'i-o ' only telling ghost
stories. "
"Come down again when we rcachitho
sand , " he added. ' 1t will be nice and dry
thou. "
flut a the reporter felt nice and dry as It
, va , ho bade goodbye and made for the
ianh19le. Once znoro ha struggled
togain a foothold on the ladder ; once mare
. the Iron door was closed , ohind hmiimi once
noco lie was alone in the darkness wlillotlmo
z -uslt of tlio compressed air Ihiled lila oars in
t the air lock and once more ho was mntho
t' rco fresh nir but on top of the same old Icy
scaffolding. h collected his scattered
t thoughts and his notes , reached the ice once

In thq worqs of time ouLning paragraph. ' He

It has been well Raid by a distinguished -
guishod writer that "the Michigan
Central is the only 'Niagara Falls
Routo'in the country. "
It is thooniyrailroadthat runs ( liroCt-
ly by the falls and stops its trains at a
point from which all parts of the falls
and the rapids arc In full view. From
this point , called Falls View , tha scone
front the Michigan Central traIn ,
wimothot- Its summer setting of omor-
aid orits winter setting of crystal , is
one of unexampled grandeur and sub-
Ilmity. As it is on the direct roUte
to Now York , Boston , and Now England -
land , , no east-bound traveler should tall
'to take advantage of it.
The Wassernmaims' Two Suits ,
A Ban reporter 'was told yesterday
that the Wasserman family , while pensioners.
upon the county , made a pitiable appearance
when seeking alms more for effect than be.
cause of their alleged extreme destitution.
They live near Howell's lumber yard. The
father , as is'knowq , was recently convicted
of perjury in tlmo united States court.
There now remain in the family the
mother , a daughter anti a son.
There is another son who is married , and
drives a team for a brick manufacturer in
the noighborhood. He hasbuilthltna shanty
on the latter's property. A short time since ,
the mother and daughter was seen entering
the brother's house , dressed in decent
clothes , and wheji they emerged therefrom
were coiparathuIy clothed in rags. They
loft icr town with a pair of baskets which"
Yero loadc'dwith goods vbon th returned.
They stopped at the brother' house on % hclr
return , and rehabilitated Ihomselves in their
home clothes. It is clalmod that the girl is
able to work , and so lathe son.

Memo ExoitemantOyor an Act of
County Clerk Roche.
Legal an real estate circles are somewhat
worked up over an action of County Clerk
Roche Ia receiving and recording a lease on a
piece of real estate , and the question arises In
what. position the lessee would find himself if
time lessor should be inclined to engage In a
double deal. It is maintained that Mr.
Roche exceeded his authority In accepting
the lease , as it should have gone to the ofilco
of the regitter of dl'ilg ' , where ono would
naturally took foi it if LI was to no examined.
Lawyers assert that Mr. Roche has ito legal
power to Ills mutters concrning realty , imis
authority not extending beyond the register-

The circumstance has brought out quite a
legal point and one that svill be settled without -
out delay ; as a number of gentlemen inter-
