after midnight , and did considerable damage
by flooding the streets and overcrowding the
capacity of sowers.

A Description 'of Omaha's New City
Hall.
Mr. Bolndorff , of Fowler & Belndorff , the
architects making the winning plan of the
city hall , gives the following description of
the building contcmplutod'by their plan :
The Farnam street entrance is thirty-two
feet in width .on au extreme ground measure
ment. On a very massive base are grouped
combination columns , the caps of which nro
beautifully carved and intertwined , forming
rather a mass than a distinctive column
effect. Springing therefrom is the arch ,
which is very "massive in character ,
with voussolrs splayed inward , nnd
neatly carved , presenting a heavy nppear-
nnco. This feature is comparatively a now
one. Above the nrch are Inscribed the words
"City Hall , Omaha , Nebraska , " with a
shield on either side bearing the dates 6f the
organization of the city and. tno initiation of
the building. Still higher is a cap of very
massive cornices of4but few members ending
in a gargoyl at each end for thcjdischargo of
water from the surmounting balustrade ,
which would make a good sneaking stump ,
On each sldo of the entrance are two
hoavlly arched windows , and at the extreme
uauthcast corner is a minaret starting from
a massive base und continuing above the
roof.
Covering the second and third stories is n
magnificent grouping of five double windows
dews , the center onu being slightly higher
than the others and dltforontly panep. This
grand facade of windows , with griicofully
grouped columns on the sides and center ,
shows at once that it is the exterior of the
principal room , the council chamber , and
stamps the building as'tho seat of municipal
government.
The ability to thus prove the character o f
n building is a point always sought after by
prominent architects , but it is seldom that
aueh a splendid realization is reached. It is
a feature about which the professed critic ,
Mr. Garczyuski , waxed funny.
Above the grouped columns nro panels of
mosaic work in two colors of stone.
The fourth story is comparatively plain ,
with straight caps nnd heavy paneling , rest
ing the eye for an inspection of the dormers
which are distinctively Romanesque , resem
bling very much in style those of the Mills
building in Boston , which was considered
ono of the finest efforts of the late Mr. Rich
ardson ,
The central feature ? the gable , Is made
moro prominent l > y two octagonal columns ,
starting from the biiclisj of dragous at tUo
base of the archosPib the third story and
topping out with grinloK holding the ; sniuld
of the state. Jn > A. ' ,
The fifth story of 4hc/kablo / is a charming'
grouping of u.trlploircff.whoso magnificent

.on Bodloo's island ) tmNew York' ' bay , to bean
an abortive attempVotinrt. Ho is opposed
by some of the ( leading architects of the
world , who have clcoUfod it to bo a marvel
of art. nil n
I Imvo neglectcditn abeaU of the cornice.
At its base is repealed tf'foaturo that appears
below , althoughln different stylo. To this
cornice the panels of < moiulo in two coloru of
stone giro a rich I effect. M'ho cornice is
broken by braoketsTvith .gargoyl heads for
the dlscbargo of thb dmt'wutor which other
wise would drift down over the faces of the
dormers.
The tower at the corner of Eighteenth and
Farnam streets Is 23 feet square at its base ,
battering in at the top ot the first story to a
width of 22 feet. In the first story are two
window * , with combined arch and alleged
balcony. Above this arch is very heavily
carved panelling several feet in width.
Gradually spring out by moans of carving is
an octagonal column running to the top
of the tower , londlnc grace and
delicacy to this otherwise massive
foaturo. The second story of the tower is
broken into a group of three windows , cov
ered by an arched cap. This story is separ
ated from the next above by a molded- sill
course. Springing from this sill course are
grouped column * of the same character as
tnosoSK | > Uen of before , running uu a height
of three stories , und arched massively. The
next story , which Is nbovo tbu roof , is u vary
wide uruh , onon on each of the four Bides ,
with wrought iron spindle work.
There Is also to each opening
n balcony offering n fln view
of the city. Above these nrch openings Is
introduced the same style ot mosalo woiOc
njKikon of before , nnd at this height from
llio ground .it will bo n very nttrnctlvo
foaturo. Separating tnl * story from ttio
clock tower Is.u vtiry heavily carved still
coqi-sb. "The clock dial is eight feet In di
ameter'and It Is supported by n beautiful
f'roup of ( Joinblnatlon columns springing to. .
Uiti arch covering the clock. Then comes
the bornltio of the tower , which * is very
massively carved nnd ending on two comers
with n garg.vlo to discharge thn water from
the roof of the toer. . Above this springs to
rv hcltih'lh 6f 23'feet , the roof ot thu tower ,
terminating In u solid copper plate.
.In n general way It mleht bo stated that
mnBsivcnc.ss' , rather than" dellcHcy , has been
studied , nud the design throughout U m per
fect keeping with that Idea. There Is no In
congruous blending ot Romnucaquo , modern
gothlo and renaissance. The exposed portion
tion ot the roof Is loss than half pitch uiul U
covered with corrugated , not hollowed tile ,
nnd finished with solid cresting , malting it
Unquestionably the finest roof In existing.
This style of roof U now bolng used on most
of the principal buildings having idmllnr ex
posures nnd Is of the sumo material , though
of different pattern , ns the Merchants'
National bank , of this city.
The Eighteenth street elevation Is much
the sntno as to detailed parts ns the Fnrnnm
street front , the distinctive feature being
two circular muiaicts. starting from a bnso
of ! i foot they nro connected by n massiva
'arch , fanning the Eighteenth street entrance ,
with the balcony.over It. Above this to the
top.ot the fourth story the windows uro
.splendidly divided Into groups nnd the nrch
idea is ugatn Introduced over the handsome
balcony at the entrance to the library on the
fifth floor. Above the roof these mmnrots
nssumo conluiil shape nnd are finished like
the main tower with u finlal of solid copper.
Aft to the interior of the building , wo will
commence at the basement. There are areas
on the alloy and east sldo. There are storage
vaults for the treasurer , comptroller , engi
neer nnd clorlc.f There is a general work aud
supply room for the city engineer. Station
ary engineers and firemen ot tha building
have also a go.norul work room. Then there
is a storage department for the batteries and
different electrical appliances. Almost in
the center of the building are the three boil
ers , two low and ono high pressure. Behind
these is the cistern for the water which Is
used In supplying the hydraulic force of the
elevators , also n supply tank direct from the
city main , which will supply the building
with water , which will bo pumped to the
root us n distributing point. Along the alley
a fuel room Is constructed so as to receive
fuel direct from wagons. Then there are
water closets for the employes , und the city
engineer and his assistants.
On the first floor there is n eighteen-foot
entrance lending by musslvo granite steps to
the vestibule. It is worked in u croup of
arches. Turning eastward you enter the
city clerk's offices , consisting of a public
room , ono for the assistant clerk , 23x30 ; a
private office In the southeast corner of the
the building sufficiently largo to uccotnmo
dulo the city council sitting as n board of
equalization 20xiiO book-keepers' room , nnd
a vault 14x20. On the other side of the
'main entrance are the treasurer's offices ,
comprising the same accommodations the
clerk possesses , with the exception that
39x45 is allowed the public room , thirty feet
of which Is devoted to counter space. The
private office is in the tower In the south
west corner of the bu'ldlng. '
Going straight Into the building you pass
under a very heavy Romancsquo nroh. The
name feature is introduced over the Seven
teenth street ana cnst entrances. Then is
onountorcd the Brand staircase , twelve feet
wide , with nn olovntor on each sldo. Those
elevators nro of a peculiar construction , and ,
will be , when finished , the finest of their
kind in the United States. There U no shaft
ratline , and the elevator is exposed on three
sides. The dooi-B on each floor outer
from the game side , mid the
cars will bo of n very rich
oriental design. The court will bo superior
in general effect to that of the Rookery , in
Chicago. The comptroller's office is to the
west , nnd is 2 x29 , with a vault I ) > x22 , and
accountant's room 20x10 , nnd a. private oflice
for the comptroller , with an exit through the
entrance on the rear of the building. There
> is'ulsoan entrance leading out of the alley.
Coming back to the court and turning to
the east , you enter the city telegraph ortico ,
with private office and vault , and
stairway lending to the chief of police to the
second floor directly above. The arrange
ment of the telegraph quarters is original
with our plan. It is u matter of Croat im
portance in eastern cities , and also in Omaha.
Next to tha totcgrnph office is the office of
the chief of the fire department. When nn
alarm is sounded it will bo sent first to this
telegraph office nnu forwarded from it with
orders to the different fire stations. The
chief of the fire department has nu experi
mental room nud private office , the door of
which is immediately to the right of the exit
in the rear , so that in case of un alarm ho
will be able to reach his horse In the alley
without running through the building. Ho
also has a vault for his records.
On the second story the principal room is
the council chamber , fronting on Furnam
street , 52xS8 , und twenty-six feet in height ,
with n inassivo groined nnd panolcd celling.
It has u vault and toilet rooms , and an arch
in the west end , in the center of which is
the president's chair. The wainscoting in
this room is twelve feet high , and above that
the finish is of Moorish design , in columns
and arches , with a splendid cornice and
frieze. In connection with the council
chamber are the president's reception room ,
private office in the tower and throe largo
committee rooms. On this floor are toilet
rooms , both for ladles nnd gentlemen , that
of Iho ladles bolng placed under the stair
way. On the Eighteenth street side are the
assessment bureau , with private ofllco and
vault ; overseer of the poor , with waiting
room , closet and vault. In ttio roar are the
board of health nnd city physician , with pri
vate office und labaratory. On the east sldo
is the chief of police.
The Furnam street front of the third floor
is taken up by the council chamber gallery
and mayor's offices , the latter consisting of
a room 35 feet square , n reception room and
toilet , nnd u private office In the tower with
u vault. Next to him on the Eighteenth
street side is the license inspector , who has u
private ofllco , and direct connection with
' office. This latter
the mayor's ar
rangement is to accommodate the mayor ,
who Is a member of the license boara. Next
north of the license board Is the city uttor-
noy. with n private ofllco , public office und
vault , and next is the fire nnd police com
mission , with a 20x10 room for the examina
tion of applicants. On the rear of the build
ing are the election' commissioners , water
commissioners , and the clerk , with private
offices and vaults' . These three last nninod
quarters are not in use at the present time ,
but unquestionably will be when the build
ing Is completed. On tills floor also uro
ladies' and gentlemen's toilet rooms very
conveniently arranged.
The southwest corner of the fourth floor
is taken up by the board of public works ,
which has u board room 22x32 , with vault ,
bookkeeper's room , and , private oflloo anil
tower. Next to the board , on the Eighteenth
street side , Is the' bureau ofnarks. . Next
the reserve room for the engineer nnd the
ulty engineer's privateroom. . Extending
across the rear of the building are the cm-
glnoer's'publluroom , the ofllco of the assist'
ant engineer , with a splendid drafting room
25x40 , having , ample lightfrom the north ,
witlrupparatus room .and vaults. On the
cast and Farnam street sides are the boiler
inspector , with private office and vault ,
plumbing , sewer , gas , mill : and sidewalk
inspectors , a ml the bureau of streets , with
private office. The point about this floor Is
that it is essential that the cnu'fnuor and
tyoiird of 'publlo works should bo to
gether , and if possible that the
different Inspectors should uo on the same
floor with the board of publlo works , which
has boon 'brought out. This floor hub also
good sanitary arrangements.
" On the'fifth'floor , tha cnt ro east side and
forty-two foot'of the Furnam street front
are devoted to the hoard of education , with
an assembly room 42x53 , free from posts , a
private ofllco for the president , wardrobe ,
nnd a 22Kx31Vj room for the clerk
of the board of education , with
vault and private office , and a 20 } x
28 > { room , with vault and private office for
the superintendent of schools , Thnro are a
teachers' association room in the northwest
corner , 20XH , nnd a ladies' prlvato meet
ing room , 12 > fx30 , with wardrobe and par
lor. In the Bouthwcbt corner there is a room ,
62Xx71 , to be used as a library , Tblt room
has no posts in It. The library office and
vault are in the tower , and there is a stair
way leading out of the office to the clock
tower. The entrance to the library is mag
nificent , and to the loft of it is
the offieo of th clerlr , which will
bo divided by a rail so as to
admit ofj.be cubllo and clerk without tree-
pass ouiTnpon the otbur. To the right , di
rectly In front ofthe clerk , Is an arch 14 foot
Wide loading to the reading room of the 11
brary , which ! UxM ! > j feet.
On the rear of the building there Is n prl-
vnto stairway loading to the Janitor's qimr-
tfirs , store rooms , tanks , otc. , which are over
the rooms the teacher's association and suj
pcrlntondont.
AFLOAT ON A LIFE BUOY.
The Kxirnorillnnry Adventure of nn
KitKllsh Stcnnishlp Knglnoor.
Mr. A. M. Baltyo , ouplnoor of the
stontnor Gulf of Trlnrtnd , who arrived
ixt Plymouth yostordny from Hnrbndoos ,
narrates an almost unoxamplotl adventure -
turo which befell during the vovngo of
that ship , says the London ToloRnOph.
The Gulf of Trindud , whllo voyaging
from Iqulquo for Europe , onconntarou
hoitvy weather , during which , soon
after 12 o'clock on a dark night , Dattyo
was wnshod ovorboard. The ticoldont
wits observed on board , and a Hfo-huoy
Was iimnoillntoly thrown over nnd the
vessel stopnod. Battyo mink deeply
> when reaching the wutor , hut on rising
to the surface ho struck out swimming ,
nnd vonohed the llfo-buoy. The wny on
the steamer currl6d her far beyond him
nnd though the boat was lowered , the
prospect of ( hiding him' in such \vimthci
nnd at night , was almost hopeless.
BatHyo soon conscd to BOO tha ship , und
when daylight , came ho found hiniRol !
alone on the Hfo-huoy n , hun
dred miles , so far as ho know
from any help. Ilo kept afloat through
out the next day , although the
tropical heat of the turn \vnn intense.
The following nlglit ho suffered terri
bly from bolng without anything to eater
or drink , and in momentary danger ol
being swallowed by the sharks of that
region. Another day ho hold on with
amazing endurance , his phvslonl ex
haustion nnd montnlanxicty Doing In
tense. For the next night lie ceased to
fool hungry , hut suffered from exces
sive thirst. The third day dawned to
Hod him still in the same position. On
the evening of that day a Norwegian
hark passed closed by him , the steers
man of which saw an object in the
water , und thought ho saw Uattyomovo.
The hark was immediately put about
and a boat lowered , and after a short
Bourch found the buoy with Battvo gtill
clinging to it , although when taken on
board the hark ho was insensible. Ho
was treated with great care and kind
ness by the Norwegians , and , being
transferred to a homo ship , has arrived
In Plymouth to toll his marvelous tale.
He is a line young man. about twenty-
three years of ago. Thu Norwegian
captain retained the Hfobuoy as n memento -
monte of the wonderful adventure.
Buttyo has proceeded to the Homo in
London.
