DE P-AUTME NT A. ti HEADS.
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.

He unto Yesterday ,
A special telegram to TUB Bxi yesterday
tatcd that tha president had sent to tlio sen *
ate the name of Thnddeus S. Curkson to ba
Kstmaster In this city.
Major Cl.irkson first learned of hU ap-
lointmcnt from a representative ot THE
HER.
"Well I well 1 TrtEUnEls ahead of mc-I
lavcn't received the word yet myself , per
sonally or otherwise , " replied the com-
nandcr of the department of Nebraska ,
.irand Array of the Republic ,
"How doe * the news suit you I" was asked.
"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. "
Thaddcus Stevens Clnrkson was born at
Gettysburg , Pa. , in 1S40. Ho was educated

Postmaster Gallagher.
Postmaster Gallagher returned from Ms
Colorado trip last night. He was found at
his residence , and speaking of his injuries ,
said : " 1 was sitting on the tall-bonrd of the
rear car of a cable train lhat was going to
the summit of the mountain , \vhen the train
was started with a sudden jerk and L was
thrown backwards , landing on a pile of rock.
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. Mr.
Clarkson cannot remove tbo employes for
political reasons , as a greater portion of them
are republicans who were in the ofllco whea 1
was appointed. " _

CAN CONSUMPTION BE CUKED ?
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.
