Another Bore.

Some time ago the park commission
ers hit upon a new plan for furnishing
water to the fountains and artificial lake
in Fairmount park. A four-inch hol e
was bored through the bluff at the head
OF Tenth avenue, and a two-inch pipe
laid through 1t and connected with the
water main. The water was IN this
manner furnished to the park direct
from the mains, without the necessity
OF running an engine and pump at the
Gle avenue reservoir for this especial
purpose. The ley method worked very
we'll with the exception that when the
water in the reservoir was low the sup
ply IN the park was rather short. To
obviate this difficulty the pipe has been
taken out, and another hole is being
bored fifteen and a half feet below the
former one. IT will be finished tonight,
and will furnish all the water that will
be required in the park, no matter how
low the water may become in the reser-
voir. 1t will also furnish water for any
new fountains or lakes that may be
built in the park in the future. The
expense of boring the second hole falls
on the Now York Plumbing company,
as that firm guaranteed to furnish
plenty of water. The park commissions
ers are doing good work, and are not
expanding money without ample value
received.

A Procession Runaway,

There was a lively runaway yesterday
noon, which came very lear resulting
disastrously. John Hammers double
team was being driven to the barn on
Harrison street. Behind the heavy
wagon was a single horse attached to a
light buggy. The horse was securely
tied to the head wagon with a strap,
and when the driver d~ismounted to UNI
hitch the team they took a notion to
take n little exercise on their own &C
count. Away they went down the
street, dragging the unwilling third
horse after them. They headed for In
dian creek, but at the foot of Harrison
street they swerved to the right, pass
ing between a telegraph pole and the
corner house. "A protruding board
crashed through n of the windows,
and the family thought the day of doom
had come. Aftern run of three or four
squares the procession moved back on to
Harrison street, where it was stopped.
The third horses head was nearly
pulled out of his body, which was, the
chief damage done to the

OF Trade.
Board OF Trade.


The board of trade met in regular scs-
sion last evening with an unusually
large attendance. The matter Of the
discrimination of the RAILROADS in favor
OF Omaha in regard to freight rates on
coal was the first subject considered,
and it was discussed at some length.
According to the statements of shippers
here, coal for this market can be ship
ped to Omaha and there shipped back
to this side OF the river more cheaply
than it can be shipped here direct.
1t was voted to appoint II committee to
confer with the railroad commissioners
regarding me matter, and to solicit
subscriptions with which to prosecute
the cases in the courts. The chair APP
pointed as members of the committee
Messrs. L. II. Merriam, f. Wles. w.
w. Wallace and Samuel Haas.
The question OF instructing this COM
mittee to present to the commissioners
the claims of this city for better pas
senGer facilities was then discussed.
Several were in favor OF making an at
tempt to secure new local depots on all
tie roads, as no steps were being taken
toward building a new union depot.
After quite "a heated debate it was
decided to odhere to the previous de-
mands for n union depot and to call the
co mmissioners attention to the Just
claims of this city for recognition. Mr..
Coker, of the paper mills, appeared and
stated IA grievance regarding the unjust
charger of the Rock Island road for
switching his coal to the mills that
came over the Burlington. The matter
was referred to the committee above
named and all other shippers we're re-
qucsted to appear before the committee
this morning at 10 o'clock, to state their
grievances in order to present them to
the commissioners.
Mr.. T. j.. Evans. of the
bridge company, then presented the
matter OF properly celebrating the OPEN
ing of the bridge. He stated that after
consulting the contractor and engineer
OF the bridge the company was satisfied
that the day of formally opening the
strustu"e could b. safely set for October
30. On motion it was decided to APP
point three members of the board to
confer with like committees of the city
council and of the board of trade and
city council of Omaha to make definite
arrangements for the celebration.
The committee as appointed consists of
President Wells, Messrs. T. j. Evans
and Samuel Haas. The secretary was
instructed to notify the Omaha bodies
OF h action taken and ask their CO.

Say, If you want to see a handsome
job OF decorating look in at the Man
haitian said a citizen to THE BEE man
yesterday. The design is decidedly
unique and original, the materials are
rich and beautiful and the entire effect
is harmonious and very pleasing"
1t was found to be even us his inform
ant had said. For a week past Peter C.
Miller has had that popular pleasure
resort IN hand and he has completed
one OF the prettiest pieces of decorating
in the city. The ceiling in the main,
or billiard room, is a field Of
clouded blue, studded with gilt
stars which illuminate beautifully
under the electric light. The side walls
are also very pretty, but it is the front
part OF the place that the chief work
has been done. The walls are laid in a
greenish gray ground with a coat-of-
arms figure in a gold banded panel.
The ceiling is in three panels, divided
by a rich blue. The fields are a COM
bination of red and gold. In each is a
handsome papier mache center emble-
matte Of joy" pleasure" and
Beauty" At each corner is a bronze
rosette set in a beautiful wreath.
The design was made and the materi-
ais chosen with reference to the fur
nishlngs Of the place, and the success
ful execution OF the whole reflects great
credit upon Mr.. Miller as a designer
and artist. He is one of the youngest
men here in this business, but the quail
tiles referred to herein have given him
a foremost position among the artists Of
Iowa.

One of those pleasing and somewhat
rare events, tho accidental meeting of
a trio Of old campaigners, took place at
the court house yesterday afternoon,
and was somewhat remarkable from the
fact that the homes of the participants
are somewhat remote. The trio repre-
sented were formerly members of three
famous regiments, and were connected
with the First, Second and Third corps of
the Army Of the Potomac, noted fight
ing corps of hat grand old army.
Colonel ID. b. Daley, formerly colonel
OF the Second Wisconsin, and now pros
ecuting attorney OF Pottawattamie
county, was in his Office giving atten-
ton to official duties, when a caller was
announced in the person of S. II. Bron-
son, editor of the Howard OAK Ad-
vance, and a former member of the
Seventh Wisconsin. A BEE reporter
witnessed the hearty meeting of these
old comrades, and knowing that num-
bers always add to the interest of such
occasions, introduced a third, Major
Ed S. Post, now Of Lincoln, Neb., and
formerly a member Of the First Mime
sofa. 1t was but q moment until these
three, although until then total strang-
ers, were deep in the exciting scenes
and events OF other days, while young
sters stood with gaping mouths, and
wondered at an occasion which could
cause such commotion among the staid
old graybeards. THE BEE representa-
tive enjoyed the occasion but was forced
to other duties Just as exciting remin-
essences OF battles lost and won were
being ~recounted by the old vets.

This committee met yesterday afternoon

gard to dirt washing down we the

this action of the board in attending to
this m~uch-needed work, and hopes that

are put in n condition to reflect credit
on the county and do justice to the
beautiful structure in the center. The
contract for placing the stone was
awarded to Mr.. Lanehin, the well
known curbing contractor.

The Building Boom.

The past week in Council Bluffs has
been one not more suspicious than any
one Of many preceding, though for the
l~ateness of the season some activity
still exists in the line of building i'm
provemcnts.
City Clerk f. A. Burke issued to him
! self y license TO build u residence on
Washington avenue and the work al
ready has begun. Others followed him
in procuring the necessary permits, and
among them the following will at once
move in the matter of Improvements:
Calvin Hafer will erect n 81 900 resi-
dence in Palmer's Grove on Franklin
avenue, a happy location in the upper
part of the city.
James Hughes, at 3iS North First
street, will build a one-story frame, also
Emma Lacy, near there on Benton
street, a one-story building who's
value is placed at 81 800.
Clerk of the courts, j. J.. Shea, in Cur
tbs 81 Ramsey's addition, has contracted
the building of u two story brick house,
| price $500.
Cash Cochrane will build a one-story
frame dwelling valued at 800.
|. Gillinski will eXpend $500 in erect
ing for renting purposes two cottages
in Grimes addition.
Peter Peters, for his own occupancy,
will erect II small house in Hughes ad-
dition, and Price Gibson will build an
addition to his building on Lower Main
street.
f. J. Duerr is doing the handsome by
Pierce's subdivision by putting up, for
his own use, "A residence to cost 81 $50.
Alderman p. Lacy's name appears
among the enterprising builders. and in
Jackson's addition he will have COM
pleted at an early day a two story
brick business building, 50x70, whose
value is 5000. In Bayliss' second ad-
dition he also will erect q S. 900 two
stories brick residence building.
Thus is shown what is doing in the
way OF private enterprises by those who
are building for themselves and for
others and with full confidence in the
demand for residence and business
property. This gives, however, but a
small idea of what building is in pro-
cess or contemplated. In the western
portion Of the city a great deal is being
done in private improvements, and all
over the city are evidences of activity in
this particular.
