Tomorrow.
The work of laying the macadam pave
ment on west Dodge street was resumed
Yesterday , the contractors , Van Court &
Co. , having agreed to work In strict ac-
pordanco with the terms of the specifications
in the completion of the road , thus leaving
the county to assume the responsibility In
the event that a satisfactory pavement can-
pot be secured.
This means that the 'first layer of broken
Etono will bo put- Into the trench , pounded
Uown and then pressed Into place by the
ten-ton roller. After this has been done
the next step will be to put on the binder
of clay and then another course of broken
fitrnc , rolling this Into place and then cover
ing the whole with a top dressing of stone
chlpplnga. The same plan of building was
) n progress at the time when the commis
sioners Rtdined the work , with the exception
that at that time screened gravel was being
used for a binder , which was one of the
materials provided for In the specifications.
.V.'l.cn the commissioners stopped the paving
everything was very unsatisfactory , owing
to the fact that the loose gravel , which was
between the two layers of broken stone.
rolled until It was as solid as one rock ,
rolled about like a lot of dried peas In a
sack. At that time the contractors wanted
to use the clay binder , but the commis
sioners objected , maintaining that the top
layer of stone would crush through and
leave the whole of the wearing surface a
rnans of mud , especially during and after a
rain. Having revolved the whole subject
Ip their minds the commissioners have come
to the conclusion that the specifications are
BO faulty that the pavement cannot be made
satisfactory If gravel Is used for a binder ,
t * and , as a last resort , they have concluded
to allow the clay to go Into the work ,
One of the commissioners , In discussing
the matter yesterday , said that In his
opinion * good pavement could never be se
cured even If the specifications were fol
lowed to the letter. In view of this and
In view of the fact that the contractors had
bid upon faulty specifications , the best way
out of a bad Job was to go on and finish
up the road In some way and get the matter
"
ter out of the way. He said "it looked to
him like n squandering of the $50,000 ap-
portJOned for the Dodge street road , and not
only this , but the road fund would be
pauperized for all time to come In keeping
the pavement In repair. With the clay
( or a binder he said that the wheels of
loaded wagons , would be continually cut-
tlng through the wearing surface , filling It
With 'ruts and leaving It In an uneven con
dition , necessitating the keeping of work
men' oh the road almost every day in the
year so long' as there was any of the pave
ment left.
. .ijhe. work of laying the stone pavement
on Military avenue has not yet been com
menced , but the material Is all on the
rrouna , and next Monday Hugh Murphy ,
the contractor , will begin operations. The
pavem'enl will begin at the city limits -and
will continue In a northwesterly direction
for a distance of two And three-eights miles
to a point about midway between Coal
Creek and Mount Hope cemetery. This
pavement will be sixteen feet wide and will
be In the center of the road. Owing to
this fact the IJcnson people have been com
pelled" to pull up their street car tracks
and will -puLthem down until the laying
of the pavement is completed. When the
rails are relaid they will be two feet to
the touth of the paVlng , the space' between

Ono of the officials who went out to Fort

of the state returned yesterday and said
that the camp afforded an Interesting study
Into the lives and habits of the men. He
made n quiet census among the men , and
found that 47 per cent of them were
Protestants , 29 per cent Catholics , and 21
per cent had no religion at all. Fifty-five
are democrats ; fifty-one , republicans ; thirty-
two , populists , and the other seventy are
mugwumps or boys not yet of legal age.
One of the colonels of the eo-cnllod army

is the superintendent of buildings ; and
Whereas , We understand that the pres

Whereas , The said Samuel Macleod has

cases may be cited to illustrate , chief
among which may be mentioned the tlmt
about a year ago when Sam and his in
competent scab bricklayers due a hole

got to brace the wals. ( the result of which
was a collapse of two floors of said building ,
which at certain times might have re
sulted In a terrible l6sa of lives ; nnd
Wherfeas , The said Samuel Macleod , In
connection with his own incapability , has
always preferred to hire a lot of Incom
petent scabs , instead of employing com
petent union men. which in Itself is In
excusable , unless there may be some money
In It for Sam ; therefore be It
Resolved , By this Building Trades council ,
composed of representatives of all the buildIng -
Ing trades In this city , that wo condemn the
action nnd nefarious woi kings of the said
SamuM Mncleod ; nnd
Resolved , That we hereby enter our most

the said Macleod to Oil the cilice of super

Resolved. That n copy of these resolutions
be given to the publiu press for publication

LONDON , June 30. The great Tower
bridge was formally opened today by the
prince of Wales In the name of the queen.
The weather was blazing hot and the
scene was a magnificent one. Tens o
thousands ot persons lined the route of the
royal procession. The ceremony took place
at noon. At 11 o'clock the royal proces
sion , consisting of five state carriages am
left Marlborough house for the bridge , which
left Marlborough house for the bridge which
span * the Thames a short distance below
London bridge , from a spot adjoining the
tower of London on the Middlesex shore
to Bermondsey on the Surrey side.
In the first three carriages were the mem
bers of the household of the prince o
Wales and the duke of York. In the last two
carriages were the prince and princess o
Wales , the duke of York and the Princesses
Victoria and Maud of Wales. The roya
carriages proceeded through Pall Mall to
the Strand , through that thoroughfare to
Fleet street , Ludgate Hill and Cheapslde
At the Mansion house the royal party was
received by Lord Mayor Tyler and the
sheriffs of London , and at the new bridge
the prince of Wales and his family were
received by the duke and ducheis of Saxe-
Coburg Gotha , the duke and duchess of
Connaught , Prince and Princess Henry of
Battenberg , nnd by the duke and duchess
of Teck and other notabilities. A specla
enclosure to the left of the royal dais was
reserved for the diplomatic corps , among
whom were Hie United States ambassador
and Mrs. 'Bayard. From Temple Bar
where the Strand ends and Fleet street
begins , to the Tower bridge the streets
were lined with cavalry and Infantry , nnd
at the bridge Itself the guard of honor was
composed of blue Jackets , the honorable
artillery company , the rifle brigade and
detachments of volunteers.
GUARDING THE ROYAL "FAMILY.
Extraordinary precautions were taken to
guard the royal family. Every detective
and policeman in the metropolis who coulc
be spared from regular duty was stationei
at some point along the route of the pro
cession or else about the bridge.
On reaching the northern approach to the
bridge the royal party were received by the
lord mayor and the high civic officials , nl
in full robes , and \\ere conducted to their
places on the bridge. The ceremony of do-
clarlng the bridge open was performed by
the prince of Wales , who , by means of an
electric button , opened the enormous bascules
which have been built so as to allow vessels
to pass underneath.
A flourish of trumpets , the thundering of
guns fromthe Tower , loud and enthusiastic
cheering from the crowds and the shrieking
and hooting of the whistles of the launches
and steamers on the river announced the
completion of the work. The bishop of Lon
don , wearing his robes and hood , then pro
nounced the benediction and the officials con
nected with the construction of the bridge
were received by the prince in behalf of the
queen. The massed bands played the Na
tional anthem , and two steamers , decked
with bunting , passed through the bridge
amid tremendous cheering.
Leaving the bridge , the royal partypro *
ceeded to the Tower , and after inspecting the
beefeaters embarked on the steamer Palm ,
and escorted by the queen's water men re
turned to Westminster and were from there
driven in carriages to Marlborough house.
The bridge is near the famous old tower
of London , and connects. BermoiidseyVal -
worth , Camberwell and Peckham , on the
south bank of the Thames , with the western
part of the old city , on the north bank.
According to the lord mayor of London ,
the bridge has cost the corporation over
1OCO,000. The bridge was begun In 1SSO.
From DOO to 800 men have since been con
stantly employed upon it. Seven men have
been killed since its construction was begun.
The bridge , with approaches , is half a mile
long. The high-level spans are 142 feet
above high water ; the short spans are 270
feet , the middle one 200 feet long. The
bascules weigh eighty tons each ; the lead
ballast on the "short leg" weighs 290 tons.
About 2,000,000 rivets have been used in the
corstructlon of the bridge.
The bridge was designed by the city
architect , the late Sir Horace Jones , who
had associated with him Mr" . J. Wolfer
Barry , who has been engineer to the under
taking , and it nas been built for the corpora
tion of London under the direction of the
Bridge House Estates committee. It con
sists of three spans. The roadway Is a
lifting bridge on the bascule principle ; that
is to say , the two leaves rl&e in a vertical
direction and are counterpoised on their
inner ends. Ths opening between the piers
Is 200 feet. The leaves of the bascule or
roaaway bridge are to be moved by hydraulic
machinery placed In suitable chambers in
the piers. The center of the pivot is 13 feet
3 Irches Inside the face of the pier * The
total length of each lifting part from the
center of the pivot to the end Is 113 feet 3
li cfces. The short end Is 49 feet 3 inches
m.d the bilanclng Is by kentledge.
MASONRY SURROUNDS THE STEEL.
The steel skeleton of the bridge towers
Is encased In masonry that It may harmon
ize , so far as possible , with the neighborIng -
Ing Tower of London. For foot passengers
the two towers are connected at the top by
two fixed spans ; the length of each of these
spans is 237 feet , and consists of two canti
levers and a center girder. The height of
the columns of the towers Is 119 feet 3
Inches. There are tliree landings to each
tower , the floors being of steel. The approaches
preaches to the piers arc on the suspen-
rton principle , each chain being In two
segments of unequal length. There are
two hydraulic passenger elevators , or "lifts , "
as our English cousins call them , In each
tower In addition to staircases. The ties
forming the vertical wind bracing have been
put In such a manner that when the bridge
ii fully loaded with Its dead weight all
over each tie has an Initial strain corresponding
spending to three and a half tons per
square Inch of section.
. The weight of the opening roadway , added
to that of the high level footway and the
towers supporting them , renders the load
upon the foundation unusually heavy for a
bridge of such moderate span. The founda
tions are carried down to the London clay ,
which forms the bottom of the bed of the
river at this point , with a slight layer of
gravel or river mud above It. As it was
determined to limit the load to the very
moderate amount of four tons per superfi
cial foot , the dlmenilons of the founda
tions work out to 100 feet in width and
204U feet from end to end of the cut
waters. Sir Benjamin Baker baa tald that
he does not know of any other bridge
foundations with such dimensions as those
of the Tower bridge , except in the case of
the Brooklyn bridge. The two main founda
tions In the latter bridge support a roadway
of l.COG feet span , or about the same a
that of the Tower bridge.
In sinking the foundations for piers , eight
rectangular Iron caissons were used ( or each
pier , timber cofferdams being specially for
bidden by act of Parliament. These caissons
were twenty-eight feet square. There were
also In each pier four caissons of an approx
imately triangular shape. These caissons
were built In position , and are mainly per
manent below the river bed. Into which they
extend nlenteen feet , so as to reach the Lon-
ilon clay. This clay was undercut below the
cutting edge of the caisson when the latter
lad reached its loweat position for a vertical
distance of seven feet and five feet outward
from the face of the calsaon. This gave
a deplh of foundation of twenty-six feet bl
ow the bed of the river. Theae foundation *
ire of cement concrete , six to one , exc pt
the top two feet , which U of g ult brick
work. These caltbons above th ? bed of the
Iver were removed when the maaonry WM
built up to the level ot 116 feet C Inches ,
ar four feet above high water.
Each plr contains two accumulator cham-
jere , a bascule chamber and two machinery
chambers , The bascule chamber Is a recess
nto which the ahort arm ot the lifting bridge

raid the Deputies.
Marshal White was busily engaged in
paying off the deputies who have been out
to Sidney guarding the Wealers yesterday.
There Is a good deal of kicking from some
of the men , who tried to collect nine days'
pay for four da'ys' work , on the ground that
they had not been discharged , but the mar
shal would not allow the claims and paid
them for what they actually did.
Prank Beach , one of the special deputies
who was. hired b'y the "United States mar
shal to go out to Julesburg , Big Springs and
Ogallala for the purpose of suppressing the
Commonwealers , says that he has a kick
coming about the way > they were treated
ad paid. He says that they were offered
$5 per day and expenses as an inducement
to go. Part of them we > e sent back to
Omaha after being In service for the greater
portion of five days , They were told to re
port to the marshal's offi.ce each day , but
thej- found jio qne who could discharge them
or to whom they could report. They re
ported every day fpr mor0 thgh a week before
they were relieved from du.ty. Since the
return ot the marshal he his been making
out their pay at the rate ot $3.95 per day ,
charging them $1.05 per day for board. Beach
alleges that sometimes' they only got a
sandwich for a meal , and that they could
have boarded themselves for half the monoy.
Those who claim to have served a fraction
of five days were allowed $15.80 for their
trip. They accepted this amount under pro
test , but It is probably all they will ever
receive. Some of them are democrats , and
they promise to get even when the first
lectlon day rolls around.

PALMER IN A PICKLE.
Creditors Levy Attachment on Ills Goods
and IIIv Wife on Ills Hoy.
The Douglas Street theater Is no more.
Several times It has threatened to close Its
doors , Manager Palmer seeing no way to
make both ends meet. He lays the failure
to excessively warm weather and no business ,
but said had the agreement Into which he
entered whentopenlng the theater been kept
he would have nevertheless been making
money even now. When the theater was
first started M. L. Philips of Hamburg , la , ,
went into it as a partner. As such he
was to bear half of the expenses and share
half of the receipts. On the opening night ,
when the receipts were quite large , Mr.
Philips left the city for Hamburg , so Mr.
Palmer says , taking the receipts , and leav
ing the latter to meet all the expenses that
were Incurred. It was then the
downhill work commenced. People playIng -
Ing at the house wanted their
money ; the porters and other at
taches wanted their money. Palmer had
no money to pay them with. He closed
the theater. Next , attachment proceedings
were begun by Henry Miller , the colored
porter , for $20. Then a Mrs. Cur
tis , where Palmer has been rooming , took
a hand. She sued out attachment against
Palmer's private effects for $20 for room
rent. George Brulngton , of whom Palmer
borrowed money when he opened the theater
and gave a mortgage on the stock , came to
the front. He desired the mortgage to be
satisfied. The C9nsequence was when Palmer
went to his room nt Mrs. Curtlb' last night
he found his goods had been placed under
attachment. He could make no explanation
and when he attempted to enter his room
he says he was forcibly ejected from It.
Omcer Glover was called to maintain order
by Mrs. Curtis , as It was feared the cpn-
stables would injure Mr. Palmer. Thcj/latter
says he Is perfectly disgusted with his en
terprise here. He has never been In such
a condition before and hopes never to be
again. Added to his business troubles are
domestic complications. He says his wife
has made away with his 7-year oId boy. The
boy he la now endeavoring to recover , and
while he thinks he will It Is not , he bays ,
much satisfaction to have such , a multitude
ot troubles to seize him at a time.
Watching the Cannl Project.
The Knights of I abor were called to
meet In the hall on Fourteenth street last
night for the purpose of discussing the
canal bond proposition , but the room was
turned over to the men of the American
Railway union and the meeting was post
poned until another call IB l .iucd by the
members of the committee. Some of the
members In dlncusslng the inuttwr last night
Bald that a meeting would not be held
until after the county commlwaloncrs took
some positive action In the premises. If the
aiiet'ltil election won called , with the propo
sition In the form un submitted , the meetIng -
Ing would be held for the purpose of pro
testing and outlining a. plan for the light ,
but in the event that the commissioners re
fused to submit the proposition to the
voters of the county the meeting would
never be held.
T'ie members of the committee nald that
on the whole they were not opposed to the
voting of the subsidy , but they wanted the
Interests of the people protected and the
laboring men of the city and county given
an opportunity to have something to say
with reference to the construction and
management of the ditch and the water
that would be brought from the Platte
river.
