The beautiful residence of General G.
M. Dqdgo on Third street , which is now
occupied by the general's brother , N.
P. Dodge , has long boon known as ono
of the palaces of the city , where it was
scarcely possible for any improvement.
Eut the flno old' place has received
Borne ar.tlstic . attention , during the past
" " ibw weeks , Unit has made a marked tm-
.nrovoroont. Thu greater , .part of the

front entrance and main hallway

n tho'ollcct ' is beautiful. The two colors
Bro well known to bo the most difllcult
to combine and produce nn effect that
will not bo garish and cold , but the
grtist has accomplished the feat and
as given a softened and pleasing ef
fect that cannot bo described. The fig-
, urcsseom to stand out like they wore
.skillfully . carved out of the wall itself.
The frieze is thirty inches deep nnd
is a beautiful work of art. The design
ie a simple ono and the figures have
nm.plo background. In the light that
'comes through the doorway the glint of
the gold is just marked enough to nt-
.Jruct attention but it must bo brilliant

A nitrating Storm Cloiil.
About 1 o'clock yesterday mornlnu It not
merely mined , but it liturnlly pourid. It re
minded ono of the bursting of the storm
cloud , which caused such lnvvoo several
years UKO. It seemed that the bottom hud
really fnllun out , nnd nil the waters nbovo
wore being poured out. The wntor from the
hills rushed down the streets from the bluffs ,
nnd us they cainu surging nloni ; Msdlson
street they quickly discovered that n portion
of the paving bad been taken up , foe the
nutting in of a pipe , nnd bad been loft dis
placed. With n malicious freak , It furthered
the taking up of the paving , nnd did BO In a
very unseemly , boisterous wny. Tearing
under the wooden blocks , It lifted them nnd
swept them on down the street , scnttcrlne
them along Urondwny , nnd depositing some
of them as far away ns the Northwestern
depot. The wooden paving for two blocks
was thus carried away , leaving the plank
foundation cleanly swept , nnd all In readi
ness for the picking up nnd rcplnclng of the
block.
There miturnlly has arisen much questionIng -
Ing as to who should rcpluco these blocks.
The private property owners have already
boon assessed for the original oxpcnso of the
paving. The Now \orlt Plumbing company
had tauen up the bit of paving in front of
Mr. Crandull's residences for the purpose of
making a water connection. At first thought
It seemed that this company should stand
the damage , but its manager , Mr. Hart , explains -
plains the situation very differently. Ho
states that It has been customary for the
city , under the supervision of Its street com
missioner , Mr. Avery , to relay pavement in
such cases , ho having exports engaged for
that purpose. Mr. Hart claims that when
they bait got through with their plumbing
Thursday evening Mr. Avcry was notilled so
that thn pavlne could bo rclald Friday. It
was not so rclald , and the storm cnmo yes
terday , llndlng it in that displaced condition.
The cedar blocks thus washed out and
scattered aoout wore eagerly Inspected by
numerous citizens , curious to see the effect
of eighteen mouths wear on the paving
blocks. Most of thorn expressed themselves
as satisfied , the blocks showing better than
thoy.expoctcd. Others picked up offensive
samples and paraded them as evidencing
how poor material had boon used by the con
tractors , or how quickly tirno had rotted
nnd worn the wooden paving.
Tno fnll of water was fully two Inches , as
indicated by several receptacles , such as n
mortar bed , forming crude but quite accurate
proofs of the way the clouds gushed out
their contents. It was a severe test or the
public improvements made In Council Bluffs
within the past few years.
A few years ago such a sudden and plenti
ful outpouring would have caused the creek
to overflow , would have carried away a
goodly portion of the steeply graded streets ,
and would have flooded cellars nnd mired
sidewalks. With well paved streets , sewers ,
n wide and deepened ned for the creek , and
the numerous other improvements mailo , the
water was carried off qulto wonderfully ,
leaving little to toll the story of the great
rain except the indiscriminate scattering of
tbo loosened blocks from Madison street. It
was a test which showed the advantages o'f
street improvements.
The rush of water did little damage to the
foundation of Mr. Marcus' now block , but
this will not amount to S1UU.
The Merriam block , just being finished ,
got a few undesirable spots of wetness ,
owing to the debris from the now roof
clogging the waste pipes , but $25 will cover
nil the damage , despite the rumor that the
damage was much greater.
A few foot of the electric motor track was
washed out between the water works and
the bridge , but a gang of men speedily re
stored this , so that there was no interrup
tion to the running of trains , and no special
damuco.
The top of n mnn-holo near the Methodist
church , on Broadway , was lifted off by the
rush of water. Mr. E. Huntington , in wad
ing along in the darkness , stepped into this ,
but managed to crawl out with no moro
serious injury than comes from a severe
wetting.

A Factory In Flumes.
A few minutes before noon , yesterday , an
alarm of flro , from the southwestern portion
of the city , called the department to tbo sash
and blind factory of Strock Bros. , at the
corner of Tenth uvenuo and Thirteenth
street. The structure was in flames when
Ilia firemen arrived , but three lines of hose
wcro quicKly laid. Then the scones of the
great packing house flro of a few weeks ago
wcro repeated. Two streams of water were
turned on , and neither could bothrowm uioro
than two hundred feet.
A citizen telephoned the police station for
additional pressure , aud Jailor Barhyto
promptly closed the reservoir valves , and
"gave the direct pumping pressure on the
mains. There wni n small change noticon-
bin. but not enough to make any material
dlfluroncc.
The flromcn stood around directing a weak
stream against the walls of the burning
structure , but their work amounted to noth
ing. When the flro was nt Its height , on ,
Kino No. 1200 , from the Union Pacifle yards-
ran up to the building nnd was soon direct
ing n heavy stream on the flames.
The flro was very considerably checked ,
nnd , had the water held out , would soon
have been completely subdued. As It was ,
the city department continued to hover nbout
the building until the flames had consumed
everything but the brick walls , and finally
died out for want of fuel.
An Investigation ns to the c.iuso of the flro
revealed the fact thnt It caught at the bottom
tom of an enclosed passage way , through
which the shavings nnd sawdust wcro con
ducted from the second floor to the boiler-
room , where they wcro burned under the
boilers. The bottom of this Hue was but ten
feet from the front of the boilers , and there
fore very easy of access b.v tno lire.
The building was completely destroyed ,
nnd the heat probably totally ruined the ma
chinery. Had sufllclont water been thrown.
It Is hardly probable that the bulldlnc could
have been saved , but the loss to the ma
chinery , had It been prevented from becom
ing so heated , would hardly have exceeded
half what it did.
A largo crowd quickly assembled , nnd cltt-
znns vied with each other in alternately de
nouncing the waterworks company nnd the
lire department.
After the packing house flro , TUB BBC
urged the necessity of n more thorough un
derstanding on the part of the flro'depart-
mont of the exact situation of affairs in the
lower portion of the city , in order to prevent
n repetition of such a conflagration. Noth
ing whatever was done In the matter , nnd
yesterday's tire shows the result of the ne
glect to take suitable steps to prevent , it.
It has been often urged that the flro de
partment of Council Bluffs was as near per
fection ns could be reasonably expected , but
the supporters of that argument can hardly
repeat the assertion In the face of recent de
velopments. The ofllccrs of the flro depart
ment attempt to throw the blame on the
w.iter works company , but nn Investigation
will show the fallacy of such n statement.
When Jailor Barhyto was telephoned for
pressure. It was by nn outsider , a man whenever
never was connected with the lire depart
ment. Jailor Barhyto states thnt it was fif
teen minutes nftor ho had turned on pres
sure before ho received ofllclnl notification
by the lire alarm that It was needed. Ho
states also that ns the change was made the
pressure Increased to 1-0 pounds , nnd inuldo
of three minutes to 140 , where It remained
until after I o'clock.
The great mistake made nt the packing
house lire , that of tapping the mains with
tno many leads of hose , was the ono respon
sible for yesterday's trouble In securing pros-
sure. It Is also asserted that the lire depart
ment nozzles are altogether too largo for any
mains except on Broadway. The water Is
allowed to pass so fast and freely that the
required pressure can not bo secured.
The crow of Union Pacifle engine 1,200 nro
deserving of praise , nnd too much can not bo
said of their vigorous nnd effective work.
They took their stand on the south side of
the buruing building , in the face of the heat
und smoke , and took a much closer position
to the nro , notwithstanding their disad
vantage , than did the regular department on
the other side. The latter directed a weak
stream for fully a quarter of au hour against
a little portion of the brick wall , instead of
'attempting ' to extinguish the flames raging
within.
As this Is the second severe lessnn received
during less than il month , it may bo reason
able to presume that the usual third may bo
missed. The excessive tapping of mains
has resulted so disastrously that in the
future the smiio may bo avoided. It Is sin
cerely hoped that hereafter the amount of
water to bo secured will be regarded and con
sidered as having something to do with the
pressure.
The loss will reach from $12,01)0 ) to $15,000
with but very little insur.uicu.
The heavy pressure put on the water mains
yesterday noon nt the time of the lire , re
sulted rather disastrously. A few pipes and
water closets in buildings in the central portion
tion of the city were broken , but the loss
occasioned in these cases was nominal.
Shortly nftor 1 o'clock , n sudden decrease in
the pressure gave the information that there
was n serious break somewhere in the mains.
Chief Engineer Birkinhlrc , of the water
works company , immediately started
down Broadway to locate the break.
After passing Twenty-sixth the paving was
seen to be in a very uneven condition , thora
being numerous depressions , and at Twenty-
eighth street the break was _ found. Water
was pouring out of great holes in the ground
on either side of the street , and the paving
nt the Intersection was rising and falling ,
the blocks dancing about in shapeless con
fusion , tossed by the raging whirlpool un
derneath. The pumps at the pumping sta
tion had boon stoppjJ on noticjni : the fall in
pressure , nnd the water was running to the
break from the reservoir nt the head of
Qlnn nvunuo.
The stop vulvo nt Twenty-first street was
closed , also the valves at Pacific avenue ,
Eighth street and the Northwestern depot.
This stopped the flow/ucd a largo gang of
men were at once put to work cxcavUtinir at
the corner.of Broadway nnd Twenty-eighth
streets to uncover the br ak nnd make "nec
essary repairs. The paving from Twenty-
sixth to Thirtieth streets was completely
undermined , nnd all travel was compelled to
cross the vacant lots on either side between
those two points. The damage will
amount to considerable , but the
exact amount can not yet be told.
Two , and perhans four blocks of paving
will have to bo taken up and rclald. Breaks
will bo repaired by this morning- and w.itor
service will bo furnished the ontlro city the
samn as usual. Aside from this break
other repairs will require several days to
repeat.
The only accident that occurred was sus
tained by Mr. Blrklnbmo , who was thrown
from his wagon at the corner of Broadway
and Eighth streets , about' : ! o'clock , by iho
telescoping of n wheel , which caught In the
electric motor traclr. Ho wa thrown violently
lently to the etono paving , alighting on his
right arm which was badly injured. Ho was
removed to his resldonca whore Drs. Lacey
and Green attended him. The elbow Joint
was found to bo broken and displaced , mak
ing an injury that will ha very hard to treat.
The break of the bone in the Joint will bo
very liable to produce a stiff nrrn. Mr. Birk
inbino will be laid up for some time , and his
accident Is doubly unfortunate from the fact
that it Is his right arm.
