Those of the Engineering nud Public "Works Differ on Some Points. The board ot public works met yesterday morning. The meeting opened with a remark by Major Puray that the Eleventh street viaduct would need a great deal of repairing before it could bo considered safe. Mr. Tlllson , city engineer , did not agree with the gentlemen. Chairman Uirkhauser Introduced a delega tion of Binncy street citizens.who complained about the delay in the paving of that thor oughfare. The delegation was informed that the work would proceed today. The taking up of that $5,000 estimate , to bo allowed or rejected , for street cleaning , about which It had been rumored there would bo a struggle , started a lively breeze. Before anybody could get in a wora Major Fumy exclaimed : "Everybody keep still a moment and I will read you something tnat will show you a point that may save some hot words. " He rend two sections from the street- sweeping contract. These provided that the city engineer should have joint supervision with the chairman of the board of public works ; thai to prevent nil disputes nnd litiga tion it is agreed that the city engineer shall in all cases determine the amount of work to bo paid for under the contract and his certi fied estimate and decisions shall botiualand conclvsive , subject to approval oftho board of public works , mayor and city council ; that whenever the inspectors from the city engi neer's oftice reports to the city engineer that the streets or parts of the streets to bo cleaned nre not thoroughly swept and cleaned , said engineer ana the chairman of the board shall examine the work and if it has not been done to their satisfac tion and approval they shall make a statement in writing of such work as lias not been done to their satisfaction and deliver the same to the contractor the same day , and the con tractor shall not be credited with the same or allowed any payment therefore unless the street is satisfactorily elsaned the night im mediately following. "Mow. " continued Major Furay , "if any work that hasn't been satisfactory , has not been complained of on the same day , tnen It must bo paid for. " Mr. Tillson spoke next : " 1 want to ask you , Mr. Kicrstcad , how Farnam street has been cleaned i" "There have been nocompalntstome not a one. I think the street has been cleaned well , " was the reply , "and f ulherrnoro I will say thai I don't think the streets of Omaha have ever been cleaned as well as they have been since Mr. Squires has been cleaning them. " "But the Barber asphalt folks , " cjaculfttec Chairman BIrkhauser , "from the man who puddles the tar to the highest man , treat rae insolently : they defy mo nnd my inspectors. and do you gentleman think I should or art going to stand that ; other contractors don'l do that , and what's moro I hear lots of kicks on this company's sxvecplng. They haven't the proper machinery. " "No you shouldn't bo treated Insolently or defied , " said Mr. Furay. "That's not right and must not be. " "No you mustn't ' , " added Mr. Kiersteai' . "My inspector Is Just as good as yours" ex claimed Mr. Tilloson "and do you , Mr. Birk- hauscr , think that I should take the word o your inspector before I take the word of mine ! " "I never asked you to do such a thing , " re piled the chairman , "but you bet I propose to believe what my inspector says. " "Well , I don't want to split any hairs 01 make things burdensome for anybody" salt Mr. BIrkhauser , "but I want this ooard to understand that I propose to assert my an thority in these matters Just as far as tuut authority goes. " "I don't believe in being too technical witl these folks on this street sweeping business. ' "You men hold on now , " broto in Majo furar , "and let mo tell you that if you two will do your business attend to your duties there will never bo any occasion- for , these fusses and fights. Pvo had a letter telling rae that another city is going to adopt our street cleaning rules verbatim and that shows they are mighty good. Now you two men follow 'em. " "I don't believe that Tillson's Inspector does his work right I" exclaimed Birk- hauser. "O , well , don't lets wrangle over that now,1 said Furav , And that was the way it went for nearly two hours. Finally the estimate was passed , Kiersteai and Furay voting yes and Birkhauser no. The board then adjourned to Twentieth street , south of Vinton , to Inspect some bloc ! pavement that is being laid by J. E. IMcy & Co. under a last year's contract. The visi was paid on account of the fact that It had been charged thatHiloy bait been putting m a lot of rotten material. Seine bad blocks were found , built was decided that the inspecto is holding the contractor down to the lotte of the law and Iho work of paving will con tlnuo. Wa'ter Lily Soap Will Float. Licenses.

"I am pleased. Certainly I am pleased , and very much so , " came the reply. "What will bo your policy as to the changes n thooftlcol" "You raust excuse me from anything HKO an Interview at present. * According to my deal consider that anything approaching an extended expression of my views on anything ot the kind wh atovcr now would bo ll-tlmed nnd not good taste nt nil. I cannot enow that I am to bo postmaster until 1 have ny commission in my pocket. And I ccr- ainly do not know what I shall do until that , Imo comes. I have never given a moment's .bought to the workings of the onice.1' "But you can give the public a few general words on the subject no\v since the president tuis sent your name to the senate for con firmation. " After a moment or two of silent study , Con Gallagher's successor said : "As for any changes of any character or description , 1 have none In contem plation. I have no enemies to imnish or friends who seek for reward. My time , my nbillty and my energy w 111 be devoted to the absolute cftlcfency of the ofllce. 1 know nothing of the ofllco or Its inmates. I do not even know the salary of tne ofllcc. All 1 do know Is that I am won derfully proud of this exhibition of friend ship on the part of my fellow citizens , and of the recognition by Senator Mandersoii of long and faithful service in the party he rep resents.

During the fnll a bolt w s driven through the calf of my leg. 1 feel pretty sere , but I shall bo down to the office today. " "Your successor bus been apuolntcd. " ventured the reporter. "I noticed that fact when I read TIIE BEI : tonight1 remarked the postmaster , "but I can assure you it is no surprise to me , for I saw a letter some time ago thai convinced ino that Mnjor Clarkson was to be the man. Well , I wish him all the success imaginable , and I assure you that I will gladly turn over the ofllco as soon a the major's 5150,000 bond is approved by the postmaster general , which ought to be within a couple of weeks. Every tninp in the ofllce is in the best of shape , and if Mr. Clarkson was ready ho could have possession tomorrow , as my business , which is of much more importance , demands my whole atten tion. I regret that I shall bo compelled to leave my clerks nnd employes who have been with mo so long , as between them and my self , strong ties of friendship exist.

UxpernueiitH Keportod to the French Academy of Medicine. Among the subjects-thnt rome before the recent medical convention at Berlin for consideration was thut of the tfeiit- merit of pulmonary complaints , sayd the New York "World. Thu question lid to whether consumption .can be cured or whether iteunbo prevented among per sons who inhurit weak luiifjd , is ono that has for generations excited the liveliest interest among medical men. Two re ports were made to the Berlin conven tion , on this subject.l Dr. Paul Gibier of the Pasteur insti tute in this city , wh6""was a member ol the Berlin convontionV 'its asked yester- diiy what he thought trie probable out come would bo of the reported receut discoveries relating to 'tho ' treatment of consumption. " 1 have received n copy , " ho replied , "of an elaborate report by Prof. U mu ch er , of the P.isteur Institute , Pin-is , which has just been umdo to the French Academy of Medicine , giving the re sults of experiments in preventing con- bimiption by vaccination.- The animals operated upon were rabbits. Briefly it may be said that the object aimed at bv Prof. Grancher is to mnko the rab bits consumptive-proof. The virus is nrepared from tuberculosis bacillus ( the germ of consumption ) and ia of ten grades of strength. The inoculations' ' were made at intervals of ten days , euro being taken to see that the animals were in n. perfectly healthy condition. After being subjected to this treatment the rabbits were inoculated with virulent virus , but no development of tuberculo sis followed. The cltlacy of the treat ment was illustrated by inoculating other healthy rabbits , which had not been treated according to the new dis covery , with the virulent virus. In sill these cases tuberculosis was quickly de veloped and the animals died. Hone of the consumptive proof rabbits were af fected. It will he soon , that the treat ment thus far is a preventive of the dis ease , but further c.xporimpnts are being made with the hope of being able to ap ply the treatment , or ono somewhat biinllar , to patients in which tuberculosis has been fully developed.
