Our DUllnRiilrilictl annuls , Between 4 nnd 5 o'clock yesterday a'lur- noon Broadway , from tbo Methodist church to the Northwestern depot , presented an un usually animated appearance for Sunday. The cause was to be found in a small printed handbill , which had boon scattered by thou sands all ever tbo city announcing that the Fail-American congress would leave Omaha nt 4 o'clock on special motor twins for this city. It was , ton minutes nf tor 5 o'clock when thrco npcclil motor .rains , consisting In nil of five cars , plldod rapidly up Hroad- way. They wcro loaded with the entire vUltlng dolcftatlon , composed of fifty-six delegates to the international congress , nnd seven newspaper correspondents who no- companlcd tno party , nnd about soventy-flvo of Omaha's representative business men , press representatives , city ofllclals nntl ofllciuls of the electric motor company. Mayor Hohror had charge of the party durinp the stay In tills city. The visitors did not Icavo the cars and were tniten up Uronrtway to Frank , returned on Uroadway to Pearl , down I'eurl to Sixteenth avenue , thcnco bock to Uroadway and Omaha. It was the first ride that many of the party had taken on an olcctrlo motor and was there fore full of Interest for thorn. Superintendent Koynoltls was on board and had charso of the trains. Few stops were made , except these necessary at the end of the lines. There was no tlmo for a drive about the cilv as hud been planned by the committee , It being dark Ion ? before the party reached Omaha on their return. The distinguished visitors were again In the city later In tlio cvenln ? , coming over to the transfer to take the Hook fslond train for the east , eolntr to ICookuk by way of Dei Molncs. Much Interest was manifested to sco the illstlngulshoil tourists , and the trains attracted a great deal of attention. Sheet music 10f , iittS Broadway. The Moilct Churoli. The nov. Dr. Cooley addressed the usual largo audience at the First Baptist church at tlio morning hour. "The Model Church" was ttio subject of his sonnon , nnd ho bised It upon the fifth chapter of Ephcsians , 2.1th to 27 versos , "Even as Christ also loved His church , anil guvu Himself for it , that he might sanctify and clo.mso it with the wash ing of water by the word ; that Ho might present It to Hlmsolf n glorious church , not having spot or wrlnlclc , or nny such thing ; but that It should bo holy and without blem ish.11 The church referred to by the apostle was tlio Ideal church , auch as Itwill bo when Chrht has finished His work on It , and when it Is ready for His final an 1 completed glory. The moitol Is the ideal perfection , without spot or blemish. Tlio church now is imper fect , and no local church can bo taken as a modol. Uiitll the perfect regeneration of man the model Is unatuinublo , but it is well to have it always before us , so tlmt wo c.m bo ever aiming to attain Its absolute perfec tion. tion.The The requisites of the model church mo : First She has nn entire regeneration of membership. The established church of England , Germany and Sweden say that this is un impossibility , but It has been true of the Baptists that , they tilm to have every one of their members converted parsons. Second She Is n holy churrh. The mem bers live holy , goodly lives , adorning their prntcssion and moulding their every day conduct upon the example nnd teachings of their low ly Master. They are n peculiar people. Third She has a true biblical creed , being contained in tlio biblo. The church of Ephe- sus was commended for hating the deeds of the Wicolnltanos , and the church of Perga- mos condemned for fo'lowshippmg nnd al lowing the same doctrines. Fourth She is a united church. The church of Corinth was deeply censured for Its divisions and factious. Christ wants no schism in His church. Fifth She is an humble church , like that of Philadelphia , not of Laodocia. Sixth She is a liberal church , like that of PhilllpDi , ready to make any sacrifice re quired. Seventh She is a loving church , having the deepest sympathy for every member. There is no pride of place or power , no ser vility or condescension among members , no sliamo for humble place , shabby clothes or slender income. The members love each other as brethren. Eighth She is an Intelligent church , being able to give a reason for her faith. Ninth She is nn earnest church , abound ing In work for the church and travailing in birth for souls. Tenth She has a diversity of gifts. Eleventh She has a church prule. a "corps do esprit. " Twelfth- She * is careful of her word in all matters , whether it ba oromiscs to tier mem bers or financial obligations to the world. * C. D. P. Co , Stephan & Harmcr , 83 Pearl C.

A mistake was made in stating yesterday morning that the amounts subscribed by citizens as a bonus to secure the now hotel woio not duo until the building was com pleted , as the agreement provides that the sum of ? 20OOC shall bo paid by the 1st of November , 18S9. Tor the ourposo of collect ing this money the board of trade has ap pointed throe committees of four members each. Each committee is to work ono day , and it Is necessary to have the whole amount by Wednesday night. The first committco will begin work this morning , and it is desired - sired that all subscribers pay promptly to save any delay or inconvonlenco. The site Is secured , the iirst $500 having been paid Saturday evening. A ten dojs' option on the property was secured and ttiis option expired Saturday night. The erection of n ? ! 200,000 hotel will irivo a decided Im petus to building and ether Improvements throughout the city and the prospect for the Bluffs for the year lb'J3 ' is Indeed brilliant. A now city hall to cost about $150,003 is among tlio probabilities , and , in the opinion of many , is as good as assured. Extensions of the electric motor system , a new system of perfect street lighting , cheaper gas and electric light for private illuminating , a now nubsldlary basin at the waterworks to glvo the city the purest water possible , several thousand yards of now street paving , extensions of the water and gas malus and sewers , the completion of tbo main sewer to the Missouri river , a renovating of the police force and the adoption of a 5 cent motor faro between the sister cities , nro all looked for consummation within the next twelve months. The prospect Is such that even tlio chronic kickers and proverbial growlers are inordinately tickled , and express satisfaction with themselves , with tbo city and with the outsldo world. E. II.

Special attention to commer cial men , Gnlil and Silver ; The director of the mint has prepared n statement of the gold and silver coin in the United States nt present which shows in round numbers $017,000,000 in gold coin , 8340,000,000 In silver dollars lars , and $70,000,000 , in subsidiary silver coin , besides $01,000,000 of gold bullion hold in the coders of the treasury as security for its equivalent in paper cer tificates. The gold dollars ) , though twice an great in number and value ns the silver , can bo piled in one-tenth the space required for the latter. l''rosh Wntor For Vessels. It is rumored that an experiment bo made with vessels of the Boston and Atlanta typo in currying fresh water in the space between the outer and inner bottoms and then , if possible , use fresh water In the bailers only. This plan is about to bo carried out in several of the now and even with some of the old ships of the British navy. A noinnrkablo Morning Glory. A physician nt Salem , N.

" come the sonorous tones of the brakeman - man on the Denver iSs Rio Grande rail way , us the engine pulls up at the dusty station of Moatroso , writes n corre spondent of the Cincinnati Commorctnl Gazette. Said passengers nro engaged in watching the passing Salt Lake train , containing the doleful-faced travelers who had just delivered up their jewels and small change to n band of "hold-ups , " and nro not prepared for a sudden arrival. The Royal Gorge , Marshall Pass , Black Canyonetc. , Imvo all boon raved ever in the course of the day , nnd tinder the scorching rays of a dog-day's sun , scenery is losing its charm. These who Imvo loft the city to escape heat , shako their heads mournfully as they descend to the platform of the sago-brush sta tion and removed their wilted collars preparatory to the sldw ride in prospect on route to the much-talkod-of regions of the irold bolt. Before the crooning car wheels liavo proceeded far it takes all the eloquence of the proprietor of the "Tho Solid Muldoon , " who chances to bo aboard , to dissuadn the restless tourists from try ing the pedestrian act across lots. . But as the shadows fall and the mountains approach , the breezes from above tim ber line put sullleiont life in their veins to awaken an interest in the beauties of the Uncoin- paghre valley , with its luxuriant crop , historic ground , and modern homes. Plenty of time is given for u good view of tno adobe dwelling of the old Indian chieftain , who so lately laid claim to this productive land strip. The remains of the "council house , " wiioro the stormy treaty was made between the Utcs and palefaces , is also in a good state of preservation , and many remin iscences of the ambitious Ute are btill fresh in the memory of the \\hito bet tlers. A few mbro revolutions of the croak ing wheels atjd the captivating LlTl'LC TOWN Or OUUAY bursts upon the vision like the smile of a beautiful maiden at sight of her ex pected lover. There , in the bosom of the valley , encircled by a rock-linked chain of gigantic guardsmen , lies the hamlet of the mountains , shimmering in the moonlight. Signal lights twinkle from impossible heights. The white sails of tlio minors'tents nro unfurled upon stony surfaces in sloping ravines , between rocks of strata , and in every conceivable lodging place , while the work goes bravely on. The dull report of giant powder and the classical strains of the burro furnish ra-sic for the in habitants by night nnd dny. The traveler would fain rest in this enchanting spot where cool breezes and a comfortable hotel contribute to the comforts of the wayfarer. Buttho stage- driver lashes the air with his long whip In nervous haste to boar him onward and upward over the famous Alto Means wagon road which ride is a'bit of aero naut soaring not likely to bo forgotten. The usual contention for toward seats 'takes place , until the dyspeptics are all finally arranged fronting the horses. A 200-pound weight of the weaker sox , comfortably seated in the rear , fluently narrates n few anecdotes , wull seasoned witn mining slang , which proves her to bo a naturalized daughter of the Rook ies. The saying of "Snow Slide Char ley" and "Timber Line Sam" were glibly quoted , while the cases of "Freeze Out , " "Monkeying with the Drills , " "Mine Salting , " etc. , were highly gratifying to the listener , who is perhaps all-aglow with the mining fover. The fair compainion , however , proves herself invaluable as a guide. Tlio first stop along the highway is made ut the regular stage-coach gallop , which car- sies tlio loaded vehicle immediately be yond the rock-bound suburbs of Ouray. By the time the climb is fairly begun the prancing steeds como down to a good steady pull , nnd the ephynx guarded citadel is loft far below. Following closely the crooked path way of the Unroinpagli'ro river , n point is soon reached whore its gentle mur mur comes up from the depths of its rugged gorge , luring the passer-byinto a forgotfulncss of all save the pictur esque confusion of the surroundings. Pungent hemlocks , tangled ferns , beds of scarlet berries , carpets of pink boo flower , with hero nnd there a snow-fed columbine clamber ovoi jutted cliffs and gray-green ledges , as if to assiit those Jlinty giants in the concealment of their buried treasure by enshrouding them in this mantle of many colors. What a pleasing variety of surprises this water-course produces ! First a Blonder shining thread ripples along ever uneven surfaces. Then gathering strength the stream broadens and tumbles with foaming speed among the smooth-washed boarders , until some walled obstruction sends it swirling around the solid base , scattering the in ilk-white spray into the very face of the fo3 , with a grace ful cascade leap , the rushing waters bound ever some precipitous declivity in a torrontino pour , which hurries thorn onward to nourish the thirsty valleys for the benefit of man and boast. But the wonder of this journey is the road way , which is literally dUSKLED OUT OF THIS MOUNTAIN 8IBK , about midway between earth and sky. Perched upon this aortal shelf , ono naturally looks about. Backward lies the narrow lodge hloroglyphed with wheel ruts and hoof tracks. Cast ing the eye downward hundreds of feet an abrupt invitation to suicide is ox- tended. Glancing aloft , heavy-browed monsters of gnmltoand sandstone frown solemnly from their majestic heights ; while forward there is nothing in sight that would indicate a passage way out of this heart of stone. And yet the In clination is to linger upon this Giants' Causeway , or gigantic coach way , and quaff the exhilarating nectar from n a- turo's brimming cup. Halting upon a rustle bridge , which spans a gaping chasm , the obliging driver reveals the very gem of the route. A voluminous cataract plunges with a deafening roar into n deep-lying basin beneath. Ad miration and adjectives nro lost in the Ningraphlo pour of the beautiful waters. Blooming rainbows nro said to hover near the spray , but not to-day , however , for the eun lb chary of its ro- lloctiona nnd imagination in roposo. "Up yonder to the right is 'the Boll of the West , ' and that slide is whore she shoots down her timbers. Over there is the 'Old Trout' a powerful good mine , and payln' big. " comes the chest-toned information of the mountain maiden as mine after mine Is told off. The senti ment Is destroyed' Kw the moment. A wide expanse of washed stones nnd fallen timber Indicates the ravaging track of the snow-slldo , while at the very brink of the stream hard crusts of snow nro still lingering as a mark of the destroyer. llo\y little the mysteri ous verse maker know of his work when ho conceived the stanza of "Beautiful snow ; it can do nothing wrong. " All too POOH the summit of the drive is reached nnd the road moves out into the grassy fiat , dotted with unfnthom- nblo Inkolots no larger than a mill- pond. Skirting the edge of this green tufted park , the buby little mining town of JroDlon is discovered very nonr at hand. The smell of now pine boards , of which the buildings are constructednnd the bogrlmmod faces of the men fresh from the tunnel or shaft , moving about the promises , show the unmistakable outlines of a live mining camp. The arrival of the stage falls to excite any particular attention save with those where ro expecting bolts , rivets or ether small irons necessary to keep the nm- chinory in tunningordor. Thispoint ! s THIS KND or Tin : STAG is iiinu. Looking up toward Rod mountain a peak 'woll named on account of its brilliant coloring smart little engines can bo scon totorlng along at a sur prising rate of speed. This railway en terprise is even moro wonderful than the stage route by the same author. "All aboard" is sounded nnd a load of passengers "of which I tun whom" nro safely tucked away in the little car that passes from Iron ton to Sllvorton. Again wo are climbing skyward , but this time to the measured pull of the iron horse. Tiers of track lay above and below us nnd apparently unget-at- able. Suddenly the engine faces about and wo find ourselves riding backwards but only for a short tlmo. By some magical stroke the smokestack is in Its original position. And so wo goon , backing and forwarding , like the dances in a country cotillion , until the now houses In the little camp are well underfoot. The snino mountain attractions , with nn addition of colored stone nnd a greater variety of wild llowors , greet the cyo. Streamlets , cascades , glisten ing forests , wondrous formations and glorious fresh air are the charms of this voyage. In passing TIKI "VANKKH CHUT311X18 the buildings nro so numerous it can easily bo mistaken for a little city. This mine is the most celebrated in this lo cality. A largo force of men are em ployed , and rich yields pnss daily from its caverns. During Uio circuitous climb the train stops at several wayside stations that are quite a surprise to the traveler. Why , what is this ? A band of professionals nro boarding the train. A theatrical troupei * Yes. And they toll us they have lound footlights enough upon this lofty psrch to got behind and draw an nudioiico.nnd a very creditable ono at that. This is "life in the fur west" that oven Denver may stare at. With a sudden Hash of speed wo are brought down from 'our elevated posi tion , and the bravo little engine steams into the Animas valley and lands its precious load at Silverton. Tnis rail way terminus is the HIGHEST TOWN SITU IN THE SAN JUAN , and for this reason the most unpopular abiding place. The hotel which ono of our party dubbed the "After Thought' ' was evidently intended for a warehouse ; consequently not calcu lated to contribute to iho comfort of guests. Ono would naturally conclude from the intense mining interest manifested hero just now ( and with good cause ) that the city is entitled to a genuine boom , but the excitement is confined strictly to mining. "Shafts , " "slopes , " "mill runs , " "levels , " "ore on the dump , " etc. , are the scraps of conver sation that como to the car. convincing the visitor that the nil-absorbing con versation pertains to the "treasure trovo" on the adjoining heights , and unless ho is fortuimto enough to possess an interest in ono of tlioso perforations ho fools like a beggar among princes. The main street of Silverton is prin cipally occupied by saloons , and , as the hotel is confronted by eight of these haunts in the opposite block , tlio guest will in a short titno become familiar with the ordinary lifo of the minor. Tlio location of this city was well chosen. A long stretch of land slopes gracefully down from the foot hills to the river , with plenty of space for the real estate dealer to thrive upon should the tide of immigration drift in this di rection. TIID NOllTII STAU MINK. is the most prosperous mining property in the San Juan. It is owned by eastern capitalists , and has paid Us way from grassroots down to crock bottom. Being in the immediate neighborhood of S it , is very accessible , and our party gra ciously nocoptodan invitation to explore its vast treasures. Costumed in rubber coats , brogans and sperm , the torchlight procession takes up tlio line of march at the mouth of the main tunnel , which loads 2,200 feet into the bosom of the mountain be fore the vein was reached. Hero the tunnel is crossed by another substan tially timbered aperture running 000 feet east and west. Tracing the vein , which can easily bo discerned through the timbers by the light of a candle , wo wander onward'over a running stream , stopping often to small up against the siilo of the tunnel to give passage way to the heavy cars'of ore tlmt are con tinually moving in and out ever the double-tracked tramway. Now nnd then our guide calls upward for a stopo to bo opened , and with the flatth of his torch overhead the workings above the voln are exposed , where quantities of precious metal in the crude is fast giving way to nick and drill. Occasionally a heavy thud from a distant discharge of dynamite fairly shakes the solid sur roundings , and wo mnilo grimly. Fin ally the click-click of the workmen's strokes toll us wo are approaching ono end of tlio tunnel'whore ' a fine sight of the clearly defined vein is to bo ob tained. A momentary throb of the wild excitement that thrills in the breast of the minor , as ho' eagerly watches the development of each blast , was experi enced by the writer , Thord is surely something nwo-inspiring in standing face to face with tljoso earthly deposits which are the roul lovers of the uni verse. It is lilco unearthing the tomb's antiquities nnd fine rod relics of the Pharaohs. And I'dbubt ' if tlio success ful minor would thank mo for the com parison , But ns Iflifco hoard an oxperl- onced say : "Nono but the wealthy and those who have nothing can afford to toy with these wheels of fortune. " As "all sookora are not Hndors , ' ' BO it Is unfortunate to rank among the middle classes. Coming within half-milo range of daylight wo turn our backs upon wealth and pick our stops toward the outlet. Next visiting the ore-house , where the new mill is under discussion , wo nro told that the limnonso heap of crushed rook before us , if properly milled , rep- roaonts $300,000ln low grade ore. This exploration loft ua wiser , If not weakertfmn , any of our previous un dertakings. _ TrnpplncrVllil Horses. J , G.

Last winter , with Its phenomenally inllcl woalhor , that enabled men to wear Spring nnd Autumn -Clothing during the rigors of December nnd January , loft on the hnmls of ninnufactui'ore ' , jobbers and retailers an Immense miantlty of win tor goods. Manufacturers made unusual preparations lust year to moot the increasing demand that had boon created by the several excessively severe winters that had preceded It , nnd the result was nu extraordinary overplus of nil grades of clothing. This season manufacturers wore coin polled to sell at prices far below those llxoil for last year , In splto of this sacrltlco of nil profits , they reached the season of 1839-nO with stocks but sllfflitly diminished , for the reason that the bulk of last season's purchases remained In the hands of retailers throughout the country , who were unnblo to buy now stocUs. Those who bought lightly a year ago were fortunate. With the intention of. building the largest nnd llnost building for n. Clothing Emporium In the city , and Btochtnrf It up with goods of tills season's make , the close of last year found M. MAUUUS with n very light stock. From the earliest date in the spring permitted , by the weather until n. few days ago , the builders Imvo boon at work on our now pressed brick , plato glass fronted building. Now it Is comutotod , ami stands nro-oinlnontly the ilnost business block in Council UlulTs , It has boon slocked In all departments with poods bought directly from the manufacturers during the warm months this fall when prices had roacncd the foot of a panic slide.
