At the social given at Mrs, Seely’s on Thursday evening there was a large at- tendance, and besiGes the social chattings an interesting programme was given, in- cluding *“I'he Hanging of the Crane,” the reading of which was accompanied by several tableaus illusteative of the scenes of the changes in the home 1 Music, both vocaland instramental, were also added, and refreshments were served. ~Coroner Faul, who has 1 ¢ p mi- cating with the authorities of Audubon county, or trying to communica'r with them, concerning the death of Matt Ryan, gets no response, The evidence at the in- «quest showed that Ryan had received his death blow in a saloon there and it was expected that some arrest might follow, but none seems to have heen made thus far. A matrimonial event of interest to many in this city occurred at Wes. ton, Mo, last Wednesday, the con- teacting parties being Henry C. Cook and Miss Minnie W, Price, daughter of Col, James A, Price, at whose residence the ceremony was performed. Mr. Cook has until lately been trading salesman for Met- calf Brow, of this city, and has recently entered the employ of Keith Bros., of Chicago, well known hat dealers, whose interedts he will look after on the rond, with headquarters here. o, —Mining enterprises are interesting a number of the business men of this city.

Hardin, the Alleged Cracksman, 13 Sald None Other Than the Notoriove Maloney. to be For a day and a half past Ed. Har din, charged with an attempt to crack the safe in Brown's coal office, has having his examination before Abbott been Justice The arrest of this [ tools upon him, have given him somewhat f a many cyes ha As a rosult of this study of his face by so notoriety here and e stared into his countenance, many, it has been quite clearly deter- mined that he is not a stranger to the police and people of this city. About four years ago a railroad man was assaulted and robbed, Johu- son suffored serious injury from this highwayman's attack, and for a time it was thought he would die, but timc brought healing on 1ts wings and he recovered. The valuables of which Johnson was thus robbed consisted of a gold watch and a goodly sum of money. A man giving his nam Maloney was arrested and charged with assault with intent to commit great bodily injury and with robbery. He had his examination and was held for trial. Owing to some technical lack of evidence, the man made good his escape from the clutches of the law, Now, after years have passed npgunrs this man who gives his name as Eddie Hardin, but who told the officers arresting him that they could eall him whatever name pleased them best, returne. General officers and others familiar with the assault and robbery of Johnson stoutly aver that Hardin and Maloney are one and the same individual, The examination of the facts in th present case has not shown any great strensth of evidence against him, as viewed by the eyes of the law. Be- sides the witnesses who testified as to the attempt made to blow open the safe, were other witnesses who Hardin, or Maloney. day. It was proved that he claimed to be out of money, and that he pawned his overcoat for a small amount, which he used to purchase two drills, some powder and a tin tube, commonly called a powder blower, used by safs-crackers, to work the powder into the hole made by the drills, Tt is supposed that Hardin found that the drills with which he attempted the work the night before were cither too short er too dull, or vlse broke, and that new ones were needed, which led to their purchase. Hardin’s accounts of himself, as given to the police when arrested, were so unsatisfactory as to furnish evidence against him, Most of the testimony for the state centered about Hardin’s doings the day after the attempted safe-breaking, and there seemed an absence of any- thing to link said actions on to the crime of the night betore, though they showed that he was one of that kind of fellows. For lack of this kind of evidence, Justice Abbott discharged the prisoner, The watch of which Johnson was robbed four years ago was soon after Maloney's escape from justice found in Omaha, and from somé remarks dropped by him since his fresh arrest on this new charge it hasbeen thought by the officers that he was knowing to some of the deeds of darkness in the burglary line committed in that city. His appearance, and thecircumstances surrounding him, have a bad look, and while he has escaped the charge of attempting to crack Brown's safe, he has not escaped entirely from the grip of the law, as he has been roarrested a8 a vagrant and having burglars’ tools in his possession. Perhaps durin his dentention more of the man's past history may be hunted out. saw the following RED OAK RACKET. Bad Burglarious Boys--Street Rail- way Started--Important Improve- ments Projected in the Busiest City on the Correspondence of The Bee, Rep Oak, Towa, January 18, Since your last published letter from this place, it has developed that one of our young boys by the nwme of Frank Qooley, heretofore thought an upright young man, of about sixteen years, together with Wilbur 8t. Clair, who formerly resided at this place, but is now domiciled at have Slope.

The police of the city have had an oye on them for about a month, and finally secured enough evidence to warrant their arrest lust woek. They were arrested on an in. formation filed by G. W, Holt, a fur niture charg them with breaking and entering his store-roow; an information by Moriarty Bres, for entering their wholesale department, ‘and by G. W. Holt for larceny in the night time. From the information in these churges we learn that the boys liad by some means obtained keys to the store-rooms and al learned the combination of the sates, and had made keys to the inside doors and the cash boxes of the safes. The theft from Mr, Holt occurred on the night of December 26, 1881, and on that hey took from the safe about lars in silver. The next even ing they entered Moriarty's sure where they obtained a revolyer aud some woney from the safe.

There is quite a tion between tho ‘‘hus " and the street cars, but as the 1 the street cars is only five centa it as likely to result in a victory for the latter, Red Oak will continue to improve this year, and many new business blocks and fine residences are assured, Among the former may be mentioned Bishop & Houghton's new ware room; A.

Attorney General MoPherson's resi dence is_rapidly nearing completion, and A. C. Hinchman will be living in a handsome structure on the hill be- fore the year 1882 closcs. Among the public improvements will be gas; a utilization of the waterin the Nishnahotany viver by bringing 1t down through the city, furnishing about 200 horse power; a new armory for Co. K, I. N.

There | is a lively demand for industrious men, and many families are seli-sup- porting now who at times have need- ed a little help, This help is not al- ways misplaced, and ofterfproves the very thing to keep a_man from de- scending mto chronic beggary, and incite him to honest action. One such case in this city is a suflicient exam- ple. The family a few months ago were in abject poverty. The father was sick, and being unable to earn a cont, the family resources were swept away entirely, until the father, moth- er and three little childven found themselves crowded into two small rooms in an obscure part of the city, and the only furniture left was a bro- ken chair and an old table. While in this condition relief came to them from a charitable organization, and by the help thus given they were en abled to keep along until the man’s health was restored. He is to-day at work, s family 1s well fed and com fortably clothed, and he who was de pendent is now independent. Had that little help been withheld the des titute ones would donbtless have sunk into confinned discouragement and chronie pauperism, lost all ambition and become a constant burden on the community. These relicf organiza- tions have done much in this city, and have labored not in vain, so that the present period of lessening of de- mands gives them a chance to take a mental rest. The weather has of late proved favorable to out-door worl, and the growing interests of the city are giving all & chancg to be inde- pendent by the swea?® of their own br 5 i COUNCIL BLUFFS SPECIAL NOTICES.
