COUNCIL BLUFFS. Varions Interesting Matters From Towa's Metropolis, One Fatal and Another Proba- ably Fatal Accident The News Melange From a Bust- ling City. DOWELL'S DEATH. IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT BY A ¥ALL, Another sad case of death was dis- covered about 12 o'clock Monday night near the Union Pacific freight depot. A switchman named Benedict came upon a man lying dead on a pile of railroad iron about twenty rods from a switch near the new tool house erccted since the spring fload, on the easy side of the Spoon lake handle between the main yard track and the dummy track. On closer inspection the unfortunate proved to be an employe of the road road, namea R. D. Dowell. Coroner Faul was immediately notified and a jury empanneled. The following facts were elicited: Mr. Dowell was em- ployed at the U, P. freight depot as one of the platform men at night. He worked as usual Saturday night all mght. On Mnmlnf' morning feel- g unusually well he concluded to work Monday forenoon so as to make, as he stated, as much over- time this month as possible, as he contemplated going to Montana on a visit next month. When he and the gang in which he worked quit Mon- :hy noon they were all paid off and his companions urged him to accom- pany them to Omaha. This he de- clined to do, giving as an excuse that he was going to save up all the money he could for the purpose stated, The men left him and went over the river and Dowell left for home. Aftor din- ner the man was not seen until found dead as above described. From a contusion over the temple that portion of the head that rest- ed on the vail, It was apparent that the mau, on going to his work Monday night, fell and was instantly killed. By pressing . the finger on the discolored contusion al- luded to, it was found that the skull was crushed. Ina buckskin bag on his persor. was fonnd twenty-one dol- Jars and forty cents, which goes to show thaf it was not the work of a robber. Mr, Dowell was a hard- working, industrious man, who would take a drink and goon a spree at times, but on the whole was considered a re- spectable citizen, He came to the Bluffs a little over two years ago from Mon- tana, whers he has relatives now liv- ing, whom he has lately expressed a great desirq to visit, and which desire ho was planning to carry out at the time of his unfor- tunate and sad death. He also has relatives living at Avoca. He leaves a wife and several small children to and recklossly rushing into danger to save a fow conts or perphaps a fow miles’ walk, But there always was accidents of this kind, and we presame there is 1o help for it. UNFORTUNATE AGAIN, “Sport” Miller was assanlted by a young man named Cole in front of Pat Lacy's saloon Sunday night. 1t is said that “Sport,” ns usual, was e over his talk, when the young man struck him, and knocking him down, pounded him unmercifully. Cole was arrested and for his brutality was compelled to pay 811 and costs. Thero ought certainly something be done with this boor unfortunate, for, notwithstanding there is no danger of his injuring any one. But a poor, helpless idiot like him, full of rum day in and day out, is in danger of coming across a young man like Cole. Sport should be sent to some inebri ate asylum where the few years that are left him can be spent 1n peace and quietness and get some of tho bad whisky out of his stomach. So long as he 18 allowed to v willalways be some ms enough to take his last nickel for a drink, careless] THE BLUFFS IN BRIEF, Mayor Vaughan did an act during tho last mession of the council, that is certain worthy of commendablo mention. Tt seems that during tho day the mayor's casy chair had becn taken from behind his desk and car vied to_the residence of a poor sick man. The chair was not returned until the mayor had got to the city building and called the council to or- der. Soon a messenger came in with the same and began an apology for not returning it sooner. The mayor immediately ordered the chair back to the sick room, remarking that what he hiad to sit on he could place any- where, even on an empty box. This evening the silver wedding of the Presbyterian church takes place. Twenty-five years ago this church was wedded to the faith in this city. Several addrosses will be made, including one from the old pastor and Hon. W, H. M. Pusey. On the whole this will be the most interest- ing sociable ever held by the society. The ladies of the church will furnish refreshments. There is a great demand at the pres- ent time for tenement houses in this city. N. J. Bond has_returned from an extended trip to Colorado. Tt is just as good a way to fight as any. Come on, Brown, it is your turn now. i . J. W. Strong, of Northfield, , sister of W. avenport, whose arrivalin this city about two weeks ago was mentioned in Tue Beg, hasreturned to her home, Like every- body else who visits here Mrs. Strong was delighted with the Bluffs. Stokes, the man who not many ears ago caused Jim Fisk to pass in {in final time check, was in Council Bluffs Monday night en route for the east. Mr. Stokes seems to enjoy * life very well, having a plenty of money he spends it freely, His™ four years incarceration at “Sing Sing” will be a dark chapter in his history, and the mourn his loss. The family live on lower Broadway, near the turn in the atrect leading to the old ferry landing. Constable Rosecranz, at the request of Coroner Faul, summoned the fol- lowing men as jurors to investigato the case: Jesse Walters, John Dunn and Joseph Wise. The' first witness sworn was J. W. Benedict, who dis- covered the body. He was standing by the switch about 11 o'clock won onday night. He saw an object lying on the pile of old ral- road iron. He went up to it in company with the night operator and found Dowell. Several other witnesses were examined, after which the jury returned the verdict that R. 1. Dowell came to his death by stumbling over a pile of railroad iron at the west switch of the U, P. railroad yards and striking his head on a rail of iron. The deccased was about 36 years of age, MANGLED, PROBABLE FATAL ACCIDENT TO A YOUNG MAN, While a young man named Frank Setters was trying to steal a ride on one of the Rock Island freight trains, he was thrown between the track and a pile of cord wood at the western station a few miles from this city, and received injuries that will, unless a sudden change takes place, terminate in his death, His left arm was crush- ed and a severe contusion was made over the left eye. The young man was brought to this city and turned over to J, H. Borroughs, overseer of the poor. Dr, Hart was sent for, and luviug examined the young man, con- cluded before performing any opera- tion that it would be better to convey the unfortunate to the county poor house which was done, The doctor on further exam- mation found that he would be oblig- ed to ampntate the arm at the shoul- der joint, which he did. The fucts which led to the sad accident aro these: It seems that young Seller with a few other young men purchas- ed tickets for Atlantic, for the pur- pose of obtaining employment. This, together with the monvy they spent in that city, exhausted "their funds, and not being able to procure work they determined to pi on to the Bluffs, They arrived at Weston aftor dark Monday night at the mo- ment one of the freight trains were ghost of Fisk no doubt follows him, but he seems to bear up under the burden remarkably well.. Ho is look- ing finely and bids fair to live for many years to come. Joseph Spaulding, for whose bene- fit the grand ball is to be given tol night, is improving rapidly, and wil no doubt soon be able to get about. He has had a long siege of it. We hope the ball room will be crowded to-night, that he may receive a lift that will be substantial. Judge Love's court adjourned Sat- urday evening, all the cases on the docket havirg been disposed of. This term of the Uuited States court has been a pretty busy one. A great many important railroad cases being upfor trial, The acute rheumatism has got the upper hand or Hugh Reynolds and pulled him down. It is aflont in this city that R. J. Cory has struck a bonanza somewhere in Colorado, His friends will be glad to hear this, An entrance to “Grand” view park hus been cffected from Graham “ave- nue enst of A, Elwell's rosidence. This will make it convenient for these living in that part of the city. J. A, Clotheback left this city last evening having in charge the man Khun recently convicted of being in- 8ane conveying him to the Mount Pleasant insane asylum, Twenty years ago four sisters sep- arated, rs, John Hanman, Mrs. Justice Abbott, Mrs, John § angle and Mrs, Eliza Burcerpile. honday they met for the first time together in Council Blufts, Mrs. John Spangle hnvinghurrivud here, also Mrs. Burcer- pile, the former from Parsons, Kan., the latter from the east, The was a happy one, of course. Monday was the thirty-first anni- versary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Field, and they did not lot it pass unnoticed, presents were oxchanged between the bride and groom, The chief was recipient of a splendid gold ring from his wifo, We know for we saw it. What he gave in return we shant know until we see her. He says he nover will tell, There is no question but that Cole, whostruck Sport Miller, did wrong, but it seems the case was exaggeratod considerably. Sport was not hurt a article and the next day re- used to testify againet the man, meet- starting, Young Beller passed around to the side of the train, and when it was in motion jumped on and was hanging on to the car when the train a pile of wood. me of the projecting sticks caught his clothing and hurled him off. * Thi is the third sad accident we have had to chronicle to-day. We understand that one of the. employes of this same road was thrown on to the track in front of a train at Atlan- tic, yesterday, the entire train passing over him, crushing his body to jelly, Why itis that nearlyall thedeaths and aceidents happen “on this road and most of them withont any fault of the cotipany, too, There must be lack of discipline som ewhere, 1t is about time that men reslized the dan- ger to life and limb in trying M-J‘ump on a tramn while in motion and yet, notwithstanding the records are full of accidents from this cause alone, men we continually, day in and day out, putting their fives in dunger by The ofticers, in order to make [y cago against Cole had to find testimony outside. It is said by those who saw the assault that it was not more than five minutes from the time Sport was struck before he was in the calaboose, which shows that our policemen were on the alort that time, The man who keops a saloon near the Bryant house banged a couple of young men who were in his place for making too much loud talk. He banged them o sovorely that they had him banged to the police station and his calf skin batged to the tune of §0. . B. Woodrow was over the river from Omaha yesterday at tho Pacific. 8. G.

United States Deputy Marshal Stewart and Wall McFadden leave Council Bluffs to-day, with four pris- oners for Fort Madison.

Dawson, Spetman, Keller and Cav in are threatercd with the ‘“‘pink- eye."” A colored individual rushed into the little old frame huilding on the corner of Scott street and Broadw oee pied by the picture frame manufac- turer, B, L. Northrup, and wanted to know if that was the American ex- press office. Mr Northrup informed nhim that it was not. The old darkey turned and went out, but soon re- turned and asked Mr. Northrup if he would be so “‘kyend to pint de way out to do place.” Mr. Northrup fol- lowed him to the door, and 88 the street. The old fellow be gan to laugh, and exclaime on me, chily, is you Mr. Northrup replied: is the place, sure.” The old darkey bent hisjpate and laughed heartily. “Why, bless yer child, dis am de fust time dis colored man was over 8o tuk in befo'.

The northwestern train was a long one and well filled Monday night. Tourists . rcturning to their ~ eastern homes are making it lively for the railroads.

Joo Herald The marketing of the apple erop in northwest Missouri for the present season is now at its height, and there is no part of the state where there are larger or better orchards, the most of them being young, thrifty and of choice varieties. The yield of these orchards this year is about one-third of an average crop, and not more than one fourth of the crop the same or- chards produced last year, when the yield was excoptionally large. The AEpleu of this section, including Doni- Ea‘" county, Kansas, are not of the st average grade, although there is some very fine fruit offered for sale. The most of the apples are withered or burnt in appearance,or are warty and shriveled on one side, and an unusual portion of them are wormy, This is supposed to bo ow- ing to the drouth and the long and intense heat. On the whole, how- ever, the quality here is superior to that of the crop in Michigan and commands better prices, tho figures paid growers being from seventy to ainety cents per buchel, and from two dollars to two dollars and thirty- five cents per barrel, Platte, Clinton, Buchman and Holt counties, with Doniphan county, Kansas, furnish the greater bulk of the fruit sold here. Andrew and Nodaway couties furmsh fruit that ig on an avernge superior in quality this year, but not 80 great in quantity as the countics above named. ~ Buyers are found for all the fruit offered, and the demund from abroad is fully up to the supply.
