which changed hands today was small, and
the range of prices narrow, never getting

Corn was dull and easy early. but firm

Councilman Jensen, who has been work.
ing on the plans and specifications for the
lew central fire station at the foot of Bry-
ant street, expects to have them completed
and ready to submit at the meeting of the
city council next Monday evening.
Including the cost of the concrete retain
ing walls in Indian creek the entire cost
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000. OF
this amount S15,OOO will be for the fire sta
ton, and the cost Of the concrete walls or
foundation will be about $1,000, according to
City Engineer Etnyre's estimate.
City Engineer Etnyre has decided to use
wooden piling for the concrete walls. He
decided that inasmuch as the piles would be
in moist earth and partly in water, they
would be as lasting as the concrete piling,
and could be set at less expense. The re-
tanning walls will reach from the east side
of the Bryant street bridge to a point ten
feet west Of the present engine house. This
will provide a driveway and entrance on the
west side of the building. The bridge will
be rebuilt upon the new foundation and
an entrance to the building will open near
the center of the bridge.

ATTEMPT MADE TO WRECK TRAIN
Spikes Pulled and Ties Piled on the
Burlington Track.

ALLIANCE, Neb., July S.-Cspecial Tele-
gram.)-Eastbound Burlington train No. ~
had a narrow escape from a serious acct
dent this morning at Birdsell. Just east of
here. that was only avoided by the engi-
neer being able to clearly see some ties
and other obstruction that had been placed
on the track. The train was stopped and
an investigation was made, showing that
a number OF spikes had been pulled along
one rail and a number Of ties and pinch
bars piled on the track with the evident
intention Of ditching the train.
The exact motive for the crime is not
known, but was probably with the intention
of wrecking the train and robbery, or else
for revenge. There seems to have been
no clue to the perpetrators OF the deed and
no one was seen near the place. The
authorities are working OF the case and
every effort is being made TO find the
miscreant.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Representatives of Three Roads Con-
fer Over N Street Viaduct.
GOOD PROSPECT OF AGREEMENT
short supply Of Both Cattle and Hogs
Causes Packers to Bid Up the
Price-COnditiOn Of the
City Funds.

Mayor Frank Koutsky has succeeded In
eating the MANAGEMENT of three railroads
together in conference over the construc-
ton of a viaduct over the Union Pacific,
Rock Island and Milwaukee roads at U
street. The representatives of all three
roads were in conference yesterday after
noon at the council chamber. The pros
poets are now exceedingly favorable for a
new yiaduct, provided all parties can agree
on the direction. This viaduct, with its
approaches, would be over LOO feet long
SO the proposition is by no means a small
affair.
Mayor Koutsky succeeded in doing what
the previous administration never was
able to do, get all the railroad men to-
gether where the could talk business.
The Union Pacific was represented by
A. L. Mohler and r. L. Huntley. the latter
being the general engineer. The Rock Is
land was represented by ]. B. Berry and
w. d. McHugh The Milwaukee was rep
resented by w. b. Foster. superintendent;
Judge ]. c. Cook, attorney; r. c.. Merrill,
trainmaster, and w. E. Wood, general en-
gineer. w. L. SHIRLEY, attorney for Swift
and Company, who are interested in a plat
of land across which one plan proposes to
construct the viaduct, was present.
Although several hours were spent in
a thorough discussion or the plans, ana
although all the parties openly declared
they were willing to share in the expense
of the viaduct, provided 1t were built in
a manner and direction to conserve the
interests of all roads as much as possible,
no formal or written contract has been
formulated. All the representatives of
the roads have taken full data of the
agreements and each will present the
same to the proper authority for decision.
A second meeting will be held July 20 in
South Omaha, when each will be prepared
to enter into the binding agreement If
such may be reached. This was the cause
Of great rejoicing to the people on the
south side, who were present.
The proposition is to construct a viaduct
due west from the intersection of the alley
between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-iifth
streets, with Railroad avenue south of u
TO a point oppcs tie Twenty-sixth str, ct.
Then the viaduct will run due south to Y
street. This route crosses the plot owned
by Shirley. It is understood that here,
II anywhere, an objection will be raised.
