It was decidedly lively In the power house
of the motor company for a few moments
ycuterday. Two of the big Weatlnghouso
engines that drive the dynamos broke down
and left the company w 1th only ono engine
to furnish power for the entire system. Doth
accidents came almost simultaneously and
were of the same nature. The crank pin In
ono connecting one of the piston rods to the
shaft broke and in the other ono of the
pistons snapped. The belts Hew off and
both engines began racing at extraordinary
speed , and the liberated cylinder head was
churning up and down for a few seconds
with the velocity of a cannon bull until the
end of ths piston rod came Into contact with
tlio tldo of the Inclosed box In which the
cranks work. These heavy castings wcro In
stantly smashed to pieces and chunks of
Iron were sc-nt Hying all over the works.
Fortunately no ono was hurt , and the dam
age to tlio cnglnra was the least that could
possibly have been Inflicted by such an acci
dent. The loss of the power made It necessary -
sary to lay off pome of the largo trains and
reduce all of thu others to tingle cars. The
snmv at the same time was werlously Inter
fering witn the movement of the trains , and
the accidents to the engines wcro due to
the extra atraln put upon the machinery to
move the trains. The work of repairing
was begun at once , and will bo completed
today in time for the regular movement of

MARRIED ON A MOTOR CAR

RIDE OVER TO OMAHA TO GET MARRIED
Mccin Them' nnil Tien the
Knpllnl Knot In Prcucnce of
Conductor , Motorninn
niiil n Crowd.
A Council Bluffs couple distinguished
themselves yesterday by getting married
under conditions and circumstances that
were decidedly novel and Interesting to a
large number of Omaha and Council Bluffs
ppople. They boarded train No. 55 on the
corner of Pearl street and Broadway and
gave Conductor Thorno the price ot the
faro to Omaha. On the way over they ap
peared to be nothing more than casual ac
quaintances. When the train ncared Twelfth
and Douglas streets In Omaha both ap
peared to bo taking eoino Interest In the
crowds on the streets and were craning
their necks to look ahead of the car. When
the car stopped on the crossing to let pas
sengers alight the man arose and looked
anxiously over the heads of the crowd. Ho
evidently did not find what ho was looking
for and approached the conductor and nerv
ously asked him If ho could not hold the
train there a few minutes. Ho explained
that ho was to bo married In the car In a
few minutes and the minister was to meet
them at that point.
Conductor Theme obligingly consented.
The car was held for a few minutes. Sev
eral of the passengers had overheard the
arinouncemcnt and Imparted the Information
to those who wcro In the act of leaving ,
and the word was quickly passed Into the
street that a society wedding , a real swell
affair , was taking place In the Council
muffs motor car. In an Instant the car
began to nil up , and the conductor was
obliged to hold the train to permit the people
ple to pour in through the single door.
With the crowd came a short , pleasant-
faced clergyman. The anxious bridegroom
hustled him to the front end of the car
and begged the conductor to go ahead. Two
bells were given the motorman and as the
train waa plowing along through the snow
on Fourteenth street between Douglas and
Howard the nuptial knot was tied. The
marriage certificate was filled out and the
conductor and motorman wore called upon to
act as witnesses. The minister received his
fee , nnd wishing them the customary happi
ness bowed himself out of the car at the
next crossing. The bride nnd groom never
loft the car until they again reached Pearl
and Broadway , Council Bluffs , and then
they disappeared In the snow storm.
Conductor Theme and the motorman wcro
too much abtonlshed to recollect
the names that were afllxcd to the mar
riage certificate given by the minister which
they signed as witnesses.
The bride Is prominent In Salvation army
circles , and the groom is said to hall from
Ncola. la. Uev. O rerton of Council Bluffs
w.w the officiating clergyman.

AmilverNiiry of Hie ClirlxHnii Home.
Friends of the Christian home are making
a , great effort In this vicinity to make the
offerings to bo given on the annlveisary of
the home , March 1G , ot more than usual Im
portance. The home Is caring for over 200
homeless little children , educating them and
giving them nn equal chance In life with
other children , who have not been bereaved
ot their natural protectors , and It Is doing
It from the contributions that are voluntarily
given from all parts of the land. Speaking
of the great Importance of the work , a recent
number of the Christian home paper fays :
"And let us note some of the reasons that
ought to tnako It a source of pleasure , as well
as a duty , to render most liberal aid In untir
ing service to the home ;
" 1. When we labor for the home , we labor
together to rescue and save perishing little
ones for whom the Master died , and whom
He bade us save for Him. Therefore , for
His sake , and the cake of Ills little ones , now
In the homo , It Is our duty , and ought to be
our pleasure , to work together most earnestly
for the home's upbuilding.
" 2. When we wotk for the home , wo work
not only for thoee now In the home , but for
the great principle that the homo alone ad
vocates.
"Tho home , from the first of Its existence ,
has waged a relentless warfare against the
greed and selfishness of earth and earth-born
cocletles that advocate the applying to the
cara of homeless and orphan children the
dame rules that obtain with county overseers
of the poor in dealing with paupers , The
rule with them Is :
"Tho cheapest service possible is the wisest
and the best. '
"With the Christian homo , our God-given
rule la ;
"The cheapest service possible that pro
vides for all proper wants , on a broad human.
Itarlan basis , Is the wisest and the best. "

and to comply with the insurance laws of

places the burden on the policy holder to
protect himself , but Is regarded as the most
effective way of forcing the Lloyds to comply
with the laws. All foreign companies must
comply with all { ho laws relating to home

The dairy commissioner bill was passed.
In the senate the day was given over to
the revenue bill and a largo amount of it
