The Council BlulTs and Oinivha Bridge
company will begin this morning the
work of laying their double track on
Broadway for the now electric motor
lino. It is imperative that the work
shall bo done at once , as the iron must
bo laid before the paving can bo done
between Twelfth and Sixteenth streets ,
and the pavers will bo up to Sixteenth
street Wednesday. That an tirrange-
mont has boon made between the
bridge company and the local street car
company for the use of the hitter's
Broadway line is certnln , the "careful
inquiries' " of a morning contemporary
to the contrary notwithstanding. The
stone paving on Broadway is to bo torn
up and a double track laid from Six
teenth street to the Methodist church.
It is also stated that the bridge com
pany will begin laying their tracks on
Avenue A next Wednesday , and rush it
along at the rate of a mile a day. The
iron and ties are already on the ground
and the work is in charge of Mr. A.
Egbert , an old railroad man thoroughly
skilled in track-laying , and formerly
superintendent of the mountain divis
ion of the Union Pacific. Under his
careful supervision there is no doubt as
to the result.
At the bridge all is bustle and ac
tivity. The work is being pushed as
rapidly as possible , both day and night ,
and seven days in the week. In
fact there is to bo no let up to
the work until it is completed.
At night the scone is lit up by two 11,01)0 )
candle power arc lights , lurnishod by
the Omaha Electric Lighting company.
One is placed on pier lon thewestbank
of the river , to light up the space be
tween that and pier 2 , where the false
work is being put in preparatory to
erecting the llrst span across the chan
nel. Tie ) ether is placed on ] > ior 2.
which is erected on tlio largo caisson.
The great dent in the north end of the
caisson , that was made by the driftwood
at the time of high water , has been
pressed out and the caisson completed.
The two cylindrical piers rising from
the caisson have reached a height of
nineteen feet above the caisson , at which
point the base posts of the superstructure
will rest , but are to bo continued up
ward twenty-nine feet farther.
Pier 15 is not yet down to bed rock.
This pier consists of two circular cais
sons sunk side by side. Ono of thorn is
within a foot of bed rock , and the ether
within twelve foot. Tlio bed rock is
uneven at this point and the caisson
gang is employed in cutting it down tea
a level. Engineer Moore oxptcts to
have tins pier down in ten days. IIo
says that but for the unavoidable two
months' delay occasioned bv the high
water the structure would have been
completed to-day , but will now bo ready
to throw open for travel by the 20th of
October. It is certain that the track ,
rolling stock and motive machinery
will all bo completed and on the ground
bv that timo. The rolling stock is of
the most improved pattern , and the
cars are said to bo perfect beauties. As
the time for the opening of the bridge
draws near the interest in the land be
tween the two cities increases , and
many of Omaha's citizens are prepar
ing to remove their homos to the east
ern shores of the Big Muddy.

The city authorities are fully deter
mined that there shall bo no open sa
loons in the city on Sunday. The order
has been repeatedly promulgated by
the mayor , but in many cases no atten
tion has been paid to it. Certain sa
loon mon have declared they would not
obey the order ; that the mayor had cer
tain llnancial interests at Lake Manawa
which was the real reason why the order
was issued. Chief Lucas determined
that the order should bo enforced and
yesterday the places run by the persons
above referred to wore visited. These
found ouon are as follows : T. Gors-
pachor , J. Brown and F. Fanson. They
wore run in by the chief and the charge
of keeping a disorderly house lodged
against them. They will answer to this
charge before Judge Aylesworth this
morning.

The Young Men's Meeting.
It was eminently fitting that ono of
the series of union services should bo
conducted by the chriatinn young men
of the city , a service essentially by the
laity. Such an ono was that of last
evening at the Presbyterian church.
The service , though typical of the Y.
M. C. A. , was none the loss interesting.
An exercise of song began the ser
vices. In this Mr. Frank Woscott ren
dered a beautiful solo entitled "Over
the Lino. " A prayer by Dr. Phelps
and scripture reading by Dr.
Cooley followed. Mr. E. E. Hurk-
ness , president of the association , con
ducted tlio oxorciscs and made the in
itial address. Said ho : "Tho service of
this evening presents this spectacle ,
the clergy captured by the young men.
This is made possible from tlio fact that
the ministers first captured the young
mon. " IIo cited a few statistical facts
of special interest as showing the growth
of the Y. M. C. A. in the world. There
are 3,801 associations existing to-day.
Of this number 1,240 are in the United
States and Canada , moro than 1,100 being -
ing in this country alone. Ho demon
strated that in the most progressive na
tions , these where Christianity is the
brightest , the Y. M. O. A. is the
strongest. Ho characterized the asso
ciation as the "blossom of civilization. "
A business man had nsUod him "what
the local association is doing ? " This
question was answered by giving a
brief outline of the work. It is divided
under three heads physical , mental
and spiritual culture. The gymnasium
and bath rooms develop the first , the
reading rooms and social meetings the
second and the religious services the
latter.
Secretary Jcnnor of Omaha followed
audcivro a very interesting address. H
gave the history of the origin of the Y.
> I. C. A. Forty-four years ago , in
London , it started with three
oung mon. It was not a
oligioufl movement , but was operated
imong the factories for the benefit of
ho young mon employed therein. Ho
asked the question , "Why work for
'oung mon alone ? " ' and then gave sev
eral important rcas-ons. The work of
saying men and women could be more
easily and ollootlvolv done by doing it
under special heads. Young .ladies
should work for young ladies. Young
nen for young mon , etc. Ho referred
to the dilllculties experienced in the
vork and laid special stress on the fact
hat the work of the association should
jo for young men alone.
Mr. Koynolds , of Omaha , followed In
n a short address. The oxerclsus were
jrought to a fitting close by Dr. Pliolps ,
who made a strong plea for the assooi-
itlon ; encouragement in its work and
icarty and generous co-operation of all
non in its work of baying young men.

Horrible , the unkopt condition of the
silent city , where rest the bodies once
HO dear in life. Council BlulTs has a
cemetery which is mot beautiful , and
yet its beauty is badly marred by the
ack of care on the p.irl of thoao who
nvn lots there. Soaio lots , graced with
inoly polished marble shafts , with
glowing inscriptions of love and bo-
eaveinout. are MJ covered with weeds
uul grass as to bo badly inconsistent
with the supposed tender memories of
, hose loft to mourn.
Other , .newer mounds , have upon
.hem the faded and apparently for eton -
on floral docoiMtions , the wire forms
uid withered loaves speaking more
strongly of neglect than if there was
taught but the green sward.
It does seem pissing strange that M >
Tianv should tints neglect the last rent
ing places of their loved ones. Some of
Lho neglected lots arc owned by non
residents , but they should arrange with
Lite faoxtoit , or the absociation , to have
the lots looked after. It would cost but
a trille , and the natural beauty of the
whole place be greatly enhanced. For
those who live right hero , there's teems
no excuse.
The cemetery association should take
some stops to force the care of the
grounds , if these who should attend to
it. neglect and forgot. It is no moro
Lhttii justice to these who do tend to
their lots that others should bo com
pelled to do likewise. The neglect of a
tow gives a ragged , unkempt look to
the whole.

Career of "Uncle" John Robinson.
N. Y. Times John Robinson , the
veteran showman , died in Cincinnati u
few days ago. Ho had been for some
weeks in a critical condition. Ho was
more than eighty years of ago , yet un
til within a very short time -ho main
tained a remarkable degree of vigor.
"Undo" John Robinson's father was
a Scotchman and his mother was from
Holland , and they gave him the quali
ties of porsoveronco , energy and
shrewdness , which made him so suc
cessful in the business he followed so
profitably. When John was born in
Utlca , July 512,1803 , that city was very

not Hko to go to sohbjl and who did not
, nko kindly to his father's grist mill.
So , smarting with an unusually severe
vhtpplng , fto ran uway ono day. A
shipwreck in Hell Oato cured him of a
leslro for a seafaring life. A not very
) loasant experience under a Newport
audlord gave him a distaste for hotel
< eoping , and ho jumped at a chance
0 travel with Colonel Pace's monagorlo.
Thus began his connection with the
raveling show , and for about twenty
years he was first a Jamillar and then a
U'omincnt figure in some ono of the
niiny exhibitions which wore than do-
ighting both city and country people.
"our years with Page & McUrflulton's
circus made him an accomplished and
larlng performer. Ho traveled all over
the country. Ho was with Turiur's cir
cus , Stewart's amphitheatre , in Boston ;
lawkin's circus. Benedict & Haddouh's
circus , and the Zoological institute , all
well known in their lime.
By this time ho had begun to think
-hat ho might turn his experience to
nero profit. Ho orguuixed a circus of
tis own at St. Lolls , and , under con
tact with thn American theatre of
Now Orleans , exhibited in Havana
1 ml this country. Thou ho traveled on
: iis own account , his purse filling rap
idly a the years passed , and in 1810 ho
ivas able to build the National theatre
in Now Orleans. Two years later ho
sold out his Venturis in that city with
great profit to himself. Since 10VJ Cin
cinnati has been his headquarters , and
ii'om that city ho directed for many
years all his enterprise , and univer
sally with success. His fortune has been

The Mul'ltiiiitf Flush.
An interesting report of tlto floval
Meteorological society of London , En
gland , has been recently published in
Science , relative to ijhotoLrraphie rep
resentations of lightning flushes. From
sixty photographs obtained there were
six 'distinct types of flashes observed ,
vix :
1. Stream lightning , a plain , broad
smooth streak of ligjit.
2. Sinuous lightning , an irregular
flash , preserving , lit ) wovor , a line in one
general direction. The thickness of
this line varies greatly , often oxpi'id-
ing considerably in the middle.
If. Ramified lightning , in which the
flash is branched at ono extremity , like
the roots of a tree.
4. Wandering lightning , a wandering
flash , often forming loops , and preserv
ing no definite course.
! \ . Bended or chapleted lightning. con
taining distinct brighter spots along
the line , suppose ! to be points where
the flash was altered in its course ab
ruptly.
( I. Ribbon lightning , a common typo ,
often p'irtukon of by ether forms in
part in their cour.se.
Tlioro is some doubt about the accu
racy of ribbon flashes by the cauiera ,
and the society hopes to bo able to make
now trials to verify these results. It is
a noticeable fact that the zigzag form
is nowhere seen. The society is desir
ous of obtaining other photographs of
lightning flashes , and invites contribu
tions from any who may have obtained
them.

American match-maker * say thaf'tho
'
Improvements to be looked'for in the
matches in the future will concern
quality rather than cheapness. " This
is as it should be. Some of the matches
recently niatle wore of fetich poor quality
that the marriage was hoon followed by
a divorce. MaU'hns of the future should
haveno brimstone about them. Some
of the most expensive ones of late years
