For -lirst-class refined minstrelsy.this

coarse buffoonery that too often is seen
. on the stage was entirely wanting.
' The "Drum Major's Drill" arid "Under

was beyond criticism , and anyone who

The Ulvcr IJrcnklnR Up ,
At twenty minutes past noon yester
day the ice along the western bank of
the river in the vicinity of the now
bridge began to break up , and in less
than nn hour there woe a largo space of
open water between the center caisson
of the bridge and the shore. About 2
o'clock n largo mass on the east and
south side of the caisson began to movo.
The enormous mass moved easily but
irresistibly down the stream , pulling
the huge piles from their places as
though they were but straws. So short
notice of the breaking up was given
that but little property could bo re
moved , and nearly SoOO worth
of lumber was carried away.
Several hundred feet of the railroad
track that had'boon built on piling from
the eastern bank to the caisson was also
taken down stream. The ice came
down in largo masses , and was piled in
gorges several feet high along the west
bank , and on.the solid part still stand
ing on Uio east side of tho.river. . . The
largo force of men employed on the
calbson was put to work removing the
air pibcs and taking Up the remainder
of the railway track. There was no ap-
nroliension of the Ice going out until
it began to break up. The caisson
has been sunk to bed-rock , but
has not been filled With masonry , and
grave fears are entertained that should
the Ice break up generally and come
down In force the caisson would bo car
ried away and bo a total loss. The first
move began while the men wcro at
dinner. It was the intention to begin
putting masonry into the caisson yester
day afternoon if the ice had remained
firm , mid In four moro days the work
would have boon secure from any dan
ger , bo far as the ice is conoorned. The
piling and scaffolding around tlio cais
son was all taken away with tlio excep
tion of what few timbers fell across the
top of the caisson when the piling be
neath was carried out.
The men were at worlc at the bottom
of tho'caisson leveling the rook below
the river bed until noon. This caisson
is thirty-five feet deep a.id does not
stand in exactly its 'proper position.
The nprth end is all right , but
the south end is about one and
one-half feet too far west , and was being
brought U ) place ' by hydraulic jacks.
The Weight of the hollow iron structure
is about one' hundred and twenty-five
tons , and .would hardly bo proof against
the enormous pressure of a , moving Ice
field. Should this caisson , bo carried
away it would involve u loss of several
thousand dollars. The river for several
hundred yards below the bridge was en
tirely open , but .there the ice gorged
and a few venturesome follows from the
western bank took their lives .in their
hands and .made n. number of. trips over
the dangerous mass picking up the
planks and timbers that .had lodged
there. . . '
The ' work will now bo carried on by
boardsj.and as soon as the ice goes out
the piling can be driven for the erection
Of the superstructure. This' work has
boen.doluyed for 'somo time , as it could
not be proceeded with until the river
was ppen , as the icein going out would
have carried awuy tlio piling and all
resting upon is. '

Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Currie started for Fort Madison with S.
A. Broad well , who Is sentenced to three
years-for obtaining money under false
pretenses. Tlio case of Broadwoll is a
peculiarly sad ono. Ho occupied a
prominent position at Logan , was
known throughout the state , was
Wealthy and apparently prospering in
the money loaning and real estate busi
ness , when the complications arose
which resulted in stripping him of his
property , and causing him to bo dis
graced forever. Ho has been bitterly
probecuted , and it appearing that there
wore some who wore moved by other
motives than that of scoing justice fairly
dealt out , much sympathy has been
aroused in his behalf. With no money
to no longer defend himself in the
courts , with but few of the many friends
who gathered about him in hia sunshiny
days , the young man has been kicked
about until ho had about as soon spend
the rest of his days in the penitentiary
ns not. An attempt was mudo to got
him pardo.ncd , but there hits been a
strong protest sent to the governor and
a strange eagerness shown on the part
of some to keep him from having any
sort of consideration. This protest is
not because they have lost a dollar by
him , for it is said that his property has
moro than satisfied all claims , and that
the surplus has fallen into the hands , of
tlioso who are now anxious for him to bo
kept so securely locked up as to quiet
any attempt ho might otherwise make
to got n square show in the world.
Ono of the strongest indica
tions of the strange attempt to
thus keep him behind the bars , is the
fact that one of his attorneys , who has
defended him in court , signs a protest
against his being pardoned. Broad-
well Eomo time ugo wag taken to the
panitoptinry , but after being there n
lew weeks , got a chunco to appeal his
case , was released on bonds , and began
to hope that ho would have a chance to
got n fair and full showing of all sides
of his case , His bondsmen vjcro Hub-
jnctcd to a pressure , and delivered him
up. The appeal which ho was led to
bolloyo was being perfected was allowed
to go by default. For some tlmo
Broadwell has been lying in jail
hero , waiting for soiho action on the
part of the governor , some of his friends
making an appeal for him. As no ac
tion has been taken , and there is noth
ing to warrant-tho bhoriff in keeping
him longer'Broadwell was last night
taken to Fort Madibon and will have to
pay the penalty , despite the belief enter
tained by so many that he is moro Binned
iigninst than Binning. The bitterness
with which hia prosecutors have fol
lowed him up. tends to corroborate his
claim tha.t the chief purpose is to pre
vent him from bringing to light all
transactions and proving who was moro
guilty than ho and. who has reaped the
profits of thesecomplications. . It hum
ulso tended to awaken sympathy in his
behalf , and in view of the leniency
shown in the prosecution for much less
offenses , it creates a fooling that justice
l8 rather lop-sided afletnil. .

Sick Engineers.
The report that the engineers of tno
Union Pacific road wore leaving their
engines on account of the company's in
sisting that they should handle "Q"
cars , did not cause much surprise in this
city yesterday morning as the move had
been anticipated for several days. The
employes did not "strike" in a manner
to violate Judge Dandy's injunction ,
but wore suddenly taken sick and wore
"compelled" to quit work. The epi
demic spread rapidly , and long before
noon the invalids might bo seen in
groups ol three or four on' every street
corner , discussing their illness and
wondering how long it would bo before
the company would issue the healing
prescription. Tholndipposcd ones were
remarkably ignorant of how many of
Iholr brother engineers were affected
by the strange malady , but were unan
imous in the belief that the disease was
fearfully contagious.
During the afternoon engines were
run over from Omaha coupled together ,
and by 4 o'clock every ono of the twenty
stalls in the now round house were full.
The fires were dumped and n system of
repairs on a lart'o bcnlo were inaugu
rated. Agent Burns , the head official
of the company on this side of the river ,
was seen by a BCK reporter late in the
afternoon , and said ho expected every
thing would bo running as usual this
morning.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
announcement was made that all trou
bles on the Union Biicifio was ended ,
the differences having been adjusted
satisfactorily , so that tho. engineers who
had become so suddenly tired and indis
posed when called upon to pull"Q" cars ,
would resume their places. When the
telephonic message reached the Council
Bluffs BEI : olllco , requesting an author
itative statement to this effect to bo
published in the morningono of the in
disposed firemen was standing at the
counter. When in formed of the message
he recovered from his illness ns if cured
by a miracle. Ho fairly jumped out of
the office , and made a brisk run towards
the yards , evidently thinking it was
high time for him to get into the cab
before some ono else was given his
place. It aid not tuko long for the news
to Spread and the invalids , who wore
scattered all over the city hurried to re
port as able for duty ,

Tp the Editor of the BUE : It may in
terest your readers to know that the
Chautauqua movement is malting pro
gress. The citizens of our two cities are
identifying themselves with it and the
newspapers are doing strong and effi
cient services for it.
The conference of. the joint commit
tees from Omaha and Council Bluffs
boards of trade for devising means for
the Successful inauguration of the Chau
tauqua assembly in the vicinity of our
city promises very hopeful results.
My correspondence also confirms this
hope. A letter just received from Mr.
P. E. Her expresses , the warmest sym
pathy in , and a promise of support to
the Chautauqua. Although the letter
was never designed for publication ,
there is so much in it of interest to the
readers of the BEE , I doubt not you will
cheerfully give It space in yourcolumns.
OMAHA , March 10. Mr. J. E. Hurkness ,
Council Bluffs , la. : Dear Sir Your most
welcome letter of the 8th Inst. Is at hund , and
all you say carefully noted. Your views iind
mine arc exactly ollko. Of couise our meet
ing was very short , mid speaking as I did in
rOgard to the location was to offset a rcnmrlc
made by ono of your people , and I did not
mean to bo understood that I was ujiuinst it.
I am heartily In favor of the enterprise and
always was and I have no doubt your selec
tion for a location is a peed ono.
I agree with you that the land within
reasonable distance on this side of the river
would Do very expensive , considering the
amount you would require.
As I have said I am heartily in fayorof
this euteiprise and will do all in my power
to encourage it , and malic it a success. I ue-
llovo It will bo a general beneflt to both of
cities , and there is no doubt It can bo inndo a
grand success. With kind regard , I icmaln.
Yours truly ,
P. E. ILEH.
It is with pleasure I am enabled to
present this letter , as it places Mr. Her
right wherein ho may have been mis
understood. I hope nil our newspapers
will kindly note it.
I am confident all plans and purposes
so far developed for locating a Chau
tauqua in this vicity will , when fully
known and understood , be approved by
every person in both cities , who heartily
desire the best results to follow. Hence
we HHk the kind consideration of every
citizen of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Truly yours , J. E , HAUKNKhS ,

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Ell Wil
liams , n farmer living near Weston ,
met with a serious accident. Ho was
coming into the city and was upon
upper Broadway , near the Western
house , when n side strap of the harness
broke and lot the the buggy against the
horse. In attempting to relieve him
self of the vehicle , the wheels struck
the street car truck and Mr. Williams
was thrown violently to the gronnd ,
striking upon his head and shoulders.
Ho was picked up in an unconscious
condition and taken to a convenient
drug store , Dr. Cleaver attended him ,
and in n short time ho recovered his
senses and was taken to tho. homo of his
sister , Mrs , Flock , at the corner of
Pierce and Madison streets. There are
serious abrasions about the head and
the physician's opinion is that n slight
fracture of the skull has boon sustained ,
but how seriously ho is injured has not
yet been determined. ,

Chicago Tribune : The man over
whoso safety so many policemen
are so closely w.ntchingi and with
whom Sir Morrell Mackenzie's
name is now so often linked , hud
changed his daily habits In no particu
lar until after the operation. T saw
him two days before that event , and ho
by no means looked like a mnn who was-
getting ready to pass away from this tea
a bettor world. . The only thing about
him not absolutely healthy looking was
his complexion ho presented the ap-
pcaninco of a man recovering from the
] itundice. But his blue eyes wcro dem
and bright , the beard was long , thick ,
arid wavy ; the-shoulders were broad ,
and the gentleman to whom they be
longed carried'himsclf orqct and with
much power. He always wears a dark
cloth cutaway coat , grayish trousers ,
and a gray felt hat with a black band.
Ho is an early riser not now , of course
and has breakfasted at 7 o'clock on
tea and buttered toast. At 0 ho
had a meal with meat in it , and
then at 1 lip" indulged in what he
called his breakfast. Then' luncheon
came at 5 and at 8 dinner was served ,
The whole family take plenty of exercise
on foot and in carriage riding. They all
love to go shopping ; I do not think tboy
over buy much , but they like to look nt
things , and are chatty with the clerks
and proprietors. The crown princess
and the children now and then make an
excursion on a bteam launch that the
Italian government has placed nt their
disposal. Sundays the family attend
religious services in the Anglican
chapel , a plain little building with a red
tile roof , but Fritz usually permitted
his wife and daughters to go to church
alone , preferring to have private service
celebrated in the villa for hinihdf and
buito by a clergyman of the Lutheran
faith. I have scon the joung princesses
several times ; they are a healthyrobust
lot , with a rather stupid look , are tall
and slender , and dress simply and all
three alike , Their mother is bqlow the
average height , and is inclined to stout
ness ; her movements are quick , and she
never goes out without a veil over her
fnco. She dresses well ; the last time I
saw her she had onu gray skirt , a black
cloth jacket , and a black felt hat , trim
med with white and gray feathers. She
always carries an umbrella , and is such
a pedestrian that not a man in her hus
band's suite is able to keep up with her
in her promenades.

Promotion In Pny Department * .
To the Editor ol the Army and Navy
Journal : My attontiod has been called
to an article in the Washington Capital
containing a reflection on mo for at
tempting , through a bill recently intro
duced into the senate by Senator Man-
derson , to secure legislation providing
that continuous bcrvico in the grade of
major of officers in the pay department
should bo made the basis and regulate
tlio order of their promotion.
The bill referred to , prior to its in
troduction in the senate , was bent by
mo to the paymaster general for
lyls consideration and recom
mendation , 1 was advised , by his
direction , that ho did not con
sider it expedient to make continuous
service in ondig-rnde in the pay depart
ment the basis of the promotion of biich
officers as would como within the purview -
view of the proposed law. To this I re
plied that if ho did not feel free to
recommend thp bill as drawn , ho could
strike out thojl/iuso | / or condition ho re
garded as objectionable.
To Senator Mandorson , who kindly
introduced tl hill , the entire object
sought to bo accomplished was fully ex
plained , and a printed copv of my argu
ment on the subject of relative rank in
the pay dcparifcnt ( | , prepared when the
whole matter 'as before the attorney
general a few years since , was placed in
his hands for his information. There
has been no attempt to "play a trick" '
on any ono , but a simple effort to correct
by legislation a great wrong and in
justice under which certain officer have
e u He red for years through a mi&con-
Btruction of the law. Officers who were
subordinate to- the present paymaster
general and other paymasters during
the war were placed above such provi-
oubly superior officers , at the reorgani
zation in 1807 , through what is believed
to have been a palpable misconstruction
of the statutes ; and , what was even
rnoro a violation of its spirit and pur
pose , officers who wore appointed from a
btntus of civilian were placed above
tlioso whoso service in the department
was continuous from the beginning of
the war. Our view of the law was sus
tained by Paymaster General Brice and
other prominent officers , I have done
nothing to be ashamed of , ' either in the
draughtsng of. the pjoposed olll or in
18 Main Street , 17 Pearl Street.
