The Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the Broadway M. 15. church held a public meeting in thochurch parlors yesterday after noon at ! o'clock , at which an interesting programme was rendered.

The mill and hail storm that visited this city Monday night was the most severe that has occurred in several years , and was little less than a cloud burst. There wore sovor.il showers from 10 to 12 o'clock , but they were as nothing compared with the tremendous down pouring that began about 12 : 'M , and continued until nearly 2 o'clock. It didn't rain -tho bottom fell out and the water just poured down in torrents. The storm sewers worn totally inadequate to curry oft the rivers of water that Hewed madly down the streets and through the glens , sweeping all obstructions before them. In many Instances , the floating debris stopped up the openings of the catch basins , thus shutting off all escape for the water by way of the sowers. Piles of brick , lumber and other building material were washed from the upper portions of the city , and were found in the morn Ing scattered niong mo uusino-ss streets in tno Heart of the city and over the submerged districts on the bottoms. It was stated yesterday that be tween live and six inches of water fell in that hour and a half. Certain It was that the streets wore all lliled above the top of the curbing and the water poured over the sidewalks Into the cellars and Hooded in graded lots to the depth of several feet. At the Martin Hughes building , corner Park avcnuo and Uroudwuy , a slxteen-ineh pafoty wall of brick was torn from its posi tion by the Hood on its wav from Pierce Btreot and the bricks , inortnr. mud and water deposited in the Interior of of the building. The "Famous , " Just across the street was Hooded to the depth of a foot or more in thu cellar. The foundation of W. J. Mauley's resi dence , on North Seventh street , was partially undermined. The rlprupplng in the roar of Dolmny's oi > eni house was carried for ten or llftecu feet nwny by Indian crook , which rose above its ordinary height between six and ten feet at that point. The street Just north of E. T. Waterman's factory was caved out by the creek for about ten foot. The Fifth avenue motor line was washed out between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets , und the passengers on that line had to walk about a block in order to touch a car that would take them to the end of their trip. The residence of Dr. 15. 1. Woodbury , cor ner of Story and Bluff streets , was Hooded und six inches of mud left on the lower Hour. At the Northwestern hotel , corner of Itroadwuy and Twelfth street , the tables ami chairs In the dining room were swimming In a couple of feet of water. The collars of sttvcral of the business houses on Broadway between First and Thirteenth streets wore Hooded. Several deep gullies were cut In Grace street , Franklin avenue , Slutsmau stivet , IleuUm btroot. North Second htivet , Graham avcnuo and High street , Mr. Dalton's [ Jaco on High street was fUttdod and u number of hogs wen ) drowned In their pens. Hen Austin's lot on Lower Broadway was submerged and about sovonty-Hvo chickens perished Ignomlnluusly. Vu IkiiUui struct , ucar thu Indian creek bridge , n deep washout was made , leaving a brick catch basin standing out high nnd dry nbout ten feet nbovo the bottom of the hole , Much dainngo was done to the newly graded streets In the northwestern part of the city , especially along Avcnuo C. Ono bad wash out was not discovered until a two horse lentil was driven hito It yesterday morning. The hole was about right feet deep nn 1 the horses barely escaped drowning. The wagon has not yet been recovered. Indian creek niriilii Indulged In a wild tear nnd overflowed Its hank south of Sixth ave nue , completely submerging all the territory between Fifth nnd Tenth avenues nnd Tenth nnd Fourteenth streets. In this territory nvo a few small shanties nnd the occupants of some of them were obliged to climb upon the roofs , where they roosted until daylight. ' At an early hour yesterday morning com plaints began to como in , nnd the aldermen wc.ro beslegeu for several hours. Several of thorn started out on n tour of Investigation , and soon had the street supervisor at work with a largo force of men making needed re pairs. The Hooding of the southern part of the city along Indian crock was due to the fact that the rail road bridges over the creek are too low and eauso nn obstruction. The North western bridge on First nvcnuo caused the first overflow. The Burlington switch track on the west side of tlio creek raised the bank n few inches , just enough to picvent an over flow on that side , as the water barely reached the ton. The occupants of some of the houses on Seventh avenue were taken out In boats , and In other instances n wagon was driven into the water to take out the imprisoned ones. At ono house a woman was lylngdungoroitsly ill. Her mattress was removed to the roof of the shed stable , where she remained for nn hour and a hall before help came. Ono family had Just moved Into a neat , now house on Sixth avenue , and during the pre ceding three now Brussels carpets were laid , but the storm drove the occupants upstairs , and In the morning the carpets were burled underberiTnl inches of mud. Instances of greater or less low uro reported from all parts of the cltv , and the total damage will amount to .several thousand dollars. The Hood at the upper end of Indian creek was very great and the narrow banks of the creek were entirely to small to restrain it. It spread over a wide territory and did consid erable damage , especially among the brick yards. One yard lost 100 cords of wood and ono kiln of brick which were just ready to burn. The water rose about three feet deep around the kiln and reduced It to n pile of mud. The damage to this yard exceeds $ . " > 00. The railroads were the severest sufferers from the storm , and the Chicago & North western fared the worst of all for the reason that its track lies parallel with the path of the storm for a distance of more than one hundred miles. The damage was confined to washouts , and they werodlstriuuted in series from Dcnison to Council Bluffs , nnd varied from slight undermining to serious gaps. The storm scemcilAi ) concentrate Its energy although It covered a wide territory , and at places the flood of waters that cime from the clouds rushed down the little ravines with a fury that swept everything before It , and lam waste to thousands of acres of growing crops. The most serious washouts were be tween Mi.s ouri Vnlloy and Logan. All the incoming passenger trains that should have gotten in In the morning did not get through until ( ! o'clock last evening. By that time the track had been completely repaired , and the company was ready to take tlic Denver limited through when it reported nn hour late last evening.

The city council mot Monday night in regu lar monthly session with the mayor and all the aldermen present. The regular monthly bills were allowed. The expenses of the police department for the month amounted to $1,518.70 and the lire de partment $1,5UJ.SO. Auditor Lange was reimbursed for the money paid by him for a special deputy , but not until there had been considerable sharp spar ring between the members , The Gas and Electric Light company's bill for $777 was referred for consideration when the report of the chief of police came up. This was for the purpose of ascertaining the niglits the tower lights were not lighted. The bill for J'J.iJOO . for the construction of the Eighth street bridge and the approaches for the Bcnton street structure were referred to the committee on bridges. Ur. ' bill amount- Cady's as city veterinary , - ting to $1-1 was allowed , as was likewise the bill of the W. C. A. hospital for S.'G for the care of city patients. The bill of A. M. Davis for filling the ditches excavated by the nioto" company on Avenue A was referred to the city engineer and the streets and alleys committee. The bills of the waterworks company for setting hydrants were allowed. The auditor reported receipts from the clerk of the police court , amounting to $1,000. Poll Tax Collector McLcarn reported $170 poll tax collected. Ucport of chief of police showed the force consisted of fifteen men during the month of May and that 133 arrests were made during the month. Petition of W. C. Dickey for reduction of assessment on lots In Wrights addition was granted , The petition of John Carrothers for remission of sewer tax on his lot on Union avenue was referred to the committee of the whole for examina tion , The petition showed that the gentle men's property was completely surrounded by sewers in front nnd rear and across on e end , ami thu sewer tax amounted to about the value of the property. Bids for the construction of the iron bridge ordered for North Second street were opened. Four bids were presented , ranging in price from $ ' . ' ,000 up. Alderman Casper thought the present Iron bridge was .sufllcient. mid after considerable discussion and the notifica tion from K. A. Wlekhum , one of the bidders , that the advancing price In Iron would not permit his bid to bo considered as stationary for all summer , the bids wore referred to the city engineer for tabulation. John Hummer was uwarded tno contract for constructing n sewer from Powers ditch to First avenue. The mayor asked the advice of the city ns to what should bo done with the thieves , tramps and other undesirublo oteotrn which the Omaha police department ilnllv and nightly brought to the end of the bridge and dumped upon Iowa soil. Alder man Tracy favored the appointment of spe cial patrolmen to guard the bridges to pre vent this sort of business , and upon motion the mayor was authorized to appoint two mounted police , ono for the day and one for night for this purpose. Alderman Lacv sug gested that the oftlcors could make their sal- nrles by collecting lines from the saloon keep- el's on ( Jut-Oft island und thu suggestion was approved. The Kotnll Mcrchnuts nssoeintlon wore grunted the use of the council chamber for their regular monthly meetings. The school board's attention was ordered called to the condition of the alloy in tlio rear of the Third street school nnd the vaults. A numerously signed jxjtltion was presented asking the abatement of what the petitioners considered a nuisance , of thu club shooting range on North Thirty-fourth street. The [ icutlon was granted and the arrest of all per- > ons violating the ordinance against shooting In the city limits. Charles Nicholas was granted the exclusive right to put up and maintain bill boards In the city. Alderman Uaspor culled attention to the iccessity for a bridge across tlio creek in the Dnbbltt tract , and the matter was referred to the bridge committee for Inquiry. Mrs. Mary Gordon was grunted ono year In which to complete thu owning of High stivet through her property. Alderman Kuli > li r was anxious to know U there could not bo some mcani devised for the proper assessment and collection of per sonal taxes. The mayor stated that there were many men , especially young men , who were liable for personal taxes who hai always escaped. The mayor was ordered to upuoint a comtDttlco of three to confer with the county suixjrvisors on the subject. Aldermen ICuophcr , Casper and Mlkcapl ! were appointed as such committee nnd In structed to meet the supervisors nnd county treasurer todny. S.

To the Editor of TiiKBnu : As n ruloltnko little stock in the kicks of those wno seek op portunities to show themselves in the public prints. But there nro occasions where the public nature of a thing demands public ventilation and public recognition. Then ono may bo excused for a public appearance. A terrific rainstorm visited the city Monday night. Yesterday morning tlio cellars of the stores on Upper Broadway were lliled with water that poured down South First street. Washington avenue , between First nnd Harrison streets , was filled witji the rub bish that had been gathered by the Hood niong Harrison street. It is estimated that during tlio storm the water was three feet deepen the hitter street. So great was the volume and force of the water that thousands of bricks were taken from various places on that street nnd deposited at the above named point on Washington avenue. And yet both the streets down which the Hoods pour dur ing every heavy storm are supposed to bo properly graded and properly sewered. These Hoods , which occur frequently , cause great damage nnd inconvenience to property owners on all the streets named. Those con ditions should not exist. Both South First nnd Harrison streets lead directly to Indian creek. Both have storm sewers that should bo adequate to cany away the Hood. There should bo no deflection of the water In its course to the creek. There Is a fault somewhere. If the engineering is responsible it should bo corrected. It Is unfair , to say the least , to allow this con dition of tilings to exist longer. And to add to the difficulty it Is now projected to throw the water from Benton into Harrison street. My present purpose is to indicate the evil that exists not to devise means of relief. What should bo done In the matter is for the city authorities to determine. That the city is llminciallv responsible for all damage done there can be no question. A course of litigation might , probably would , pave the way for a correction of the errors that are responsible for all this damage. But would it not bo better to deal fairly with the people without recourse to legal proceedings J * 1'AUASOljS SALE. Boston Store , Council muffs.

Gillette & Freeman , the young gentlemen who have earned the reputation of being the leaders In practical decorative urt in this city , have a new surprise for their patrons. They have Just completed and put en exhibition In their show window , 23 Pearl street , a number of samples In now and origi nal designs of plastio work. Contrasted with the most expensive lincrustn weltous the plastic work appears to such an advantage that it requires the eye of a connolseur to de tect the difference , and when put upon the wall It la handsomer and more durable than this prized und expensive decorative material. It affords the artist a better Held for originality In design and detail , so that rooms decorated with it need never be alike , but will contrast like two pictures , each with distinctive features. The samples of the now work in the windows will attract n gioat deal of attention. Gillette & Freeman uro painters nnd de signers with extraordinary natural ability and make a social study of thu true har mony of colors , and produce flno contrasts und combinations to match every variety of furnishing. Churches , theaters , public build ings und private residences uro painted , fres coed and decorated by them In paper , lln- crusta and plastic In tno latest styles of the art. As a strong und proper support to their nblllty as artists , they have the llnest and largest stock of wall papers In thu city and Iieoplo who Imvo work done bv them are as sured of huviui ; tUo newest and best , Tlio Remains of "Bishop O'Connor Begin Their Journey to the Grave , AT THE EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE Spectacles AloiiR tlio Itouto or. the Funeral Procession and the Solemn Services at St. IMillonienii'H. Hung were the oheavcns In dark. The wind moaned through the trees. The Cath olic Kplcopnt residence was shrouded in gloom. The elements , the surroundings , the people were In mourning. It was the occasion of tlio funeral of lit. Kev. James O'Connor. ' The remains lay In the main parlor which was In the southeast corner of the Episcopal residence. The windows of this apartment looked out upon the Thirty-sixth street lawn ns also upon that which was outlined by the retaining wall on Hurt street. The view through the former extended not beyond the primeval lives , n number of Which the good tusto of the bishop hud preserved. The view through the latter compre hended ono of the most beautiful vistas In the city , n feature of which were the grounds upon which stand the buildings of the Sacred Heart academy. On this occasion , However , nature and nrt , with all their beauty and embellishments , were shut out from the apartment. Heavy curtains of black hung from the window frames and behind the same material the bright but simple decoration of the room wus lost to view. Festoons of white nnd orange lace followed the cornice falling in ample streamers to the floor. Even the carpet had disappeared beneath a black covering of soft material , from which heaviest footfall could not extract n sound. The floors opening upon the back parlor like the walls were lost to view. They stood immediately behind the head of the casket and on the sombro covering was hung , the miniature crucifix which the deceased had in his pri vate devotions used during life. On the south side of the parlor , nnd bo- twccn the two windows , was u stand upon which rested the prelate's jeweled crosier nnd mitre , while on the north was n table on which rested n font filled with holy water with the aspcrgill usually employed In sprinkling the same. ' On the cast wall nlonc hung nny of the adornments of the apartment. It was n large framed photograph of Bishop O'Connor , an admirable likeness , taken when the deceased was in the full enjoyment of his bodily strength nnd mental power. The features bore the same benignant expression which had characterized thu deceased and endeared him to hundreds of people in this section of the country. Before this portrait stood n small oratory , the same the deceased had used in life and upon it rested also , the breviary which ho had used even as n priest. Beside It stood a pair of lighted tapers , the glow of which seemed to loose its lustre amid the sombre sorroundings. The casket was -of cast iron , beautiful moulding with massive silver handles and few foliated designs of the same material. Within lay the' bishop vested in full and beautifully e'mbroidered pontificals of purple , upon- his head resting a white mitre of rich and elaborate Jewel nnd pold adornment. The features were thin , pinched to the extreme of emacia tion and contrasting most sadly with the portrait trait on the wall to which reference has been made. The hands of the deceased lay upon the breast and the expression.on the well-known features was that of one who after n life of usefulness and holiness had nt length found surcease of pain in the sleep that knows no waking. A .lew intlmato friends lingered nround the remains , among them Kev. A. M. Colaneri , the secretary of the deceased , who had been his confidant for many years , who had attended him through all his illness and who was with him to the last moment that his features were visible to the public gaze. The lid was at length placed upon the casket. It was unadorned with flowers , in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. There was only onefeaturool adornment upon its surface and that was the solid silver plate upon which were engraved in Latin the name , the title , the date of birth and death of the deceased. While this solemn closing was taking place , the doors of the parlor were closed. Upon be ing reopened the pall bearers entered accompanied by Vicar General Choka of St. Wenceslaus church of this city nnd n number of resident and visiting priests. The "Do Profundis" was solemnly intoned , the plaintive notes of which were berne through the shaded windows to the throng which hung without the walls of the building and the grounds , admonishing them that the last moment had nt length arrived. The pall-bearers then tenderly raised the casket and bore it from the house to the hoarse , which stood opposite the en trance on the Hurt street sido. The gentlemen who performed this duty were representatives of the Catholic parishes of the city are as follows : Cathedral , Thomas Swift and Vincent Burkley ; St. Mary Jlagdalen , Peter Karbach nnd John Baumcr : Holy Familv , Thomas II. Dailey and John B. Furay St. Cecilia , Wal nut Hill , Charles F. 'i'aggart and Jacob Meyer ; St. John's collegiate , J. G , Gilmore ami Dr. J. T , Kinslcr ; St. Joseph's Charles Trawiezio and Peter Bugger ; St. Wences " laus , A. Ivorak nnd M , Vurtel ; St. Agnes , South Omaha , Dr. M. J. O'lfourko and James Haley ; St. Peter's. J. A. Creighton and John O'Keeffo ; St. Patrick's , John Kush nnd Hichard O'KccfTo. The remains were borne along the paved walk nnd between two files of clergymen in cas sock and surplice , who thu while chanted the "Miserere. " These were as follows : Fathers Walsh , Norfolk ; Hayes , O'Connor ; Murgan. South Omaha ; Fitzgerald , Fre mont ; Conway and Frunck , North Plutto ; Lynch. Wood Kivcr ; Lysaght , Jackson ; Lawrence , Smith , Daxacher , Breitkopf. Jeunetto , Glauber , Fitzgerald , S. J. , Hillman - man , S. J. , Higge , S. J. , Shryver , S. J , nnd Averbcck , S. J. , Omaha. Across the walk nnd leading to the hearse , with drawn swords at present was drawn up Lwo tiles of the Bohemian Knights of St. George nnd between these ulso were carried thu remains. To the south of the Episcopal residence is the convent of thu Sacred Heait , It is sur rounded by a most beautiful nnd capacious : awn. Hero was witnessed a most iiliectlng spectacle. The structure Itself wan hung u black and white , and on the north end hung n largo shield In blaclt upon which hud been wrought In largo 6haractcrs a mitre , crosier nnd cross emblimaUc } , of the pastoral nnd sacred duties of ) ho ofllco of the deceased. These , however , were speechless compared with the Hying but , tearful yet silent group of mortals which occupied the lawn. There were grouped nbout thirty Indies of the Sacred Heart standing with bowed heads , crossed hands and suffused eyes nnd sorrowful countenances , They were almost Immovable. Their eyes were bent upon tno ground. Theirsomoro habits stood out In bold relief against the emerald velvet of lUo lawn und thn browned pllu of brick behind them. Seimrutcd from them by a narrow path stood the pupils of the academy. These ulso were formed In lines and ranged in years and experience from minims to graduates. Each was clothed In black , nnd over her hair wus thrown a light veil of laco. When the casket madu its appearance , all hcse ladles fell upon their knees. Tears fell n profusion nnd handkerchiefs were used to conceal thcso evidences of bereavement. The bishop It was who had Induced the -adics of thu Sacred Heart to build in this : ity. It was hu who aided In rearing their beautiful pile. It was ho who had , In their early years , directed patrons to them , who had vltucssed their success , and It was ho now to whom they were bidding a long , lasting , speechless farewell. The pull-bearers took the carriages as- dgncd them , preceding thu hearse. Follow- ng the latter came the clergy , also In cnr- iagcs.tho Bohemian Knights marching beside ho hearsu. following the clergy came about " 50 carrluges of Catholics uud uon- Cnthollcs. The procession wouud north ou Thirty sixth street to Cmnlng , and thcnco cast to Elghtcc.nth. After It hm descended the first hill , tfio convent o the Poor CInrcs appeared In view , situ ntod upon Its commanding site , WIfliln were sisters shut forever from the world. They hclc sunicieiit communication with It , however to know that their original spiritual advise was no more , and with two plain bands o white nnd black nround their building bade him farewell ns his remains passed bcyom their walls. From Twenty-second street to Eighteenth the Catholic societies of the city had bcei drawn upundcr the marshal , Mr. C. .1.

In the yard adjacent stood the Sisters oi Charity of the B. V. M. . win have charge of several of the parochial schools of the city. Their leave- taking of the deceased prelate was scarcely less affecting than that of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart. Without incident of more than ordinary moment the procession reached < , ho cathe dral , the chimes of which the while had been tolling a requiem. The remains were received by the pastor , Kov. P. F. McCarthy mid his assistant , Uev. F. Carroll. A corps of policemen was on hand to pre vent a rush , but it was not called into requisi tion , supplemented as it was by the vetear.m Stephen Mcalio. Within the crepe-lined vestibule , the pall bearers stood for n few moments with their burden. Here Father Choka intoned a blessing , the responses to which wore clmnted by the clergy. Hev. J. Jciinuttc acted as cross bearer ; Hovs. F. Breitkopf and Murgan , acolytes ; Hey. F. Smith , censer bearer ; asperges , Kev. G. J. Glauber nnd Hey. V. Carroll , master of ceremonies. The remains were then borne to the cata falque , which bad been prepared cx- pres.sly for the occasion , and which stood immediately iu front of the entrance to the sanctuary. During the passage to the chancel , Mr. John Schenk , the Frederick Archer of this part of the country , with a soul-touching im provisation on the organ , the notes of which the bishop had been so delighted to hear , added appropriate solemnity to the scene. Then the solemn oflice of the dead was chanted by the clergy , and during its contin uance the cathedral was crowded to the uttermost. At the conclusion of the ofllco , which latter consumed about three-quarters of au hour , the audience retired. Tills morning there will be n solemn re quiem high mass , at which the Catholic children of the city will be present.

Pat O'Toole ' , an ex-county jailer , appeared at the police court yesterday afternoon with a cut in his head two inches in length , In lictcd by a hatchet in the hands of a neigh bor , Mrs. A. J. Coffee. Mrs. Coffee has njot at Twenty-second and Mason which she has been grading , to which operation O'Toole objected. There was a wordy war for some time , during which Mrs. Joft'oo asserts Pat applied all sorts of insult ing epithets and wound up by knocking her over a lawn mower , when she retaliated with the nearest weapon at hand , cutting open his scalp. O'Toolo ' claims that it was all pure mean ness on her part and that ho is not the sort of nan to lay hands on a woman. Quite a deep gash was cut in the man's lead and the wonder is that ho was not clllcd , Mrs. Coffee is a small , slight woman lot more than 4 feet , 0 inches in height , ami weighing scarcely a hundred pounds.
