The Incorporators Named for the ‘Wagon Bridge Across the River. A meeting of the board of trade was held Monday evening. The Gillette bill introduced in the Towa legislature came up for discussion. The bill pro. itants and upward the telegraph com- panies shall maintaim offices upon the main floor; that twenly-five cents shall be the limit of charges on messages ot ten words sent between 6 a. m. and 6 p. m., between points in the state, and the same be the limit for twenty words at night, and that messages be delivered within one hour after reach- | ing the receiving office. The bill pro- vides that on any fatlure to promptly deliver, the party damaged may serve a notice on any operator or agent of company, stating the amount of dam- ages, and if the company fuls to pay, the party may recover in court three times the amount. After talking over the bill the board passed a resolution approving the same, and earnestly recommending its passage. The following were mamed as incor- porators from this city for the pro- posed foot and wagon bridge across the river: W. F. Sapp, A. C. Graham, T. W. McCarger, J. T. Start, M. Key, E. L Shugart, L. C' Baldwin, H. H. Metcalf, M. E. Smith, and L. Everett. A like number are to be named by the Omaha board of trade. The following committze was chosen to go to Des Moines and protest against the proposed establishment of terms of court at Avoca: L C. Bald- win, Jacob Sims, P. J. McMahon, E. H. Odel), and J. T. Hart. J. T. Hart, of the committee to whom was referred the garnishee bill, reported that a large number of signa- tures had been obtained to the protest against the passage of the bill, and that the protest would be still further strengthened. The comm ttee will probably go to Des Moines to oppose its passuge. Adjournment was taken until next Saturday afternoon, at which time it is expected that the Omaha committee will be here for a conference regard- ing the propused bridge across the river. CONOERNS OF THE OOUNCLL. Sunday Subjects Considered by the Aldermen. anlnvestigationof the Charges Apgainst the Police, Furtber Light Upon the Financial Affairs of the City. An adjourned meeting of the city council was held Monday night, at which, for the first time in weeks, a full board was present, The recorder announced that no- tices of two suits against the city had been served, one in the case of J. J. Brown, who will seek an injunction restraining the collection of certain taxes, the other that cf Andrew Last, who desires to recover a horse. Petitions were presented for the ap- pointment of H. A. McDonald as teamster in the fire department; for street lamps at the corner of Eighth and Avenue A, Eighth-and avenue B, Tenth and Avenue B, Eleventh and Avenue E; also for opening Avenue B between Sixth and Eighth streets, Referred. A formal acceptance of the ordi- nance providing for a new street rail- way was presented by the incorpora- tors. Chief of Police Fields desired to have the serious charges lately made public against the police department fully investigated. The desire was granted by the appointment of a com- mittee consisting of Ald, Spetman, Keller and Raine, the mayor stating that he had suggested to the chief the propriety of asking for such an inves- tigation, as he bolieved the charges were all buncomb, Sowe time was spent 1n arranging for polling places, and naming judges and clerks. The work being incom- plate, it was left with the mayor and aldermen to finish up yesterday. The finance committee reported that there were uncollecied taxes amount- ing to $67,036, There were outstand- ing warrants to the amount of § ). 320, and the loan fund $11,000, leav- ing a balance of $19,606 on, whioh to run the oity. o, . e This revived the discussion as to whether work on the rapids improve- ment had better be pushed or not. The major was jubilant at the show- ing, Alderman Keller thought that the council had better move slow. There was the engine house to be finished; there were many dirt tickets and floating accounts to settle; there were neocessary repairs to be made to the streets, and some jobs already com- menced which must be finished. By the ' time all this was done there would be little left Alderman Unthank was also in ta. vor of moving slowly, After much talk, it was decided to proceed with the work on Main street for two days, and then suspend all bue the small jobs until the meet- ing Friday evening. A committee, consisting of Aldermen Spetmen, Phillips and Raine, was appointed to ussist the supervisor in directing the work, It was decided to pay Mr, Shugart §24 for six munths storage of the can- COUNCIL BLUFFS AND IOWA NEW/S. non, and to notify the adjutant gon- eral of the state to take the piece away. It was concluded that too many accidents attendod salutes, and that all the noise necessary for a jubi- lation coutd be made with less danger than with a cannon, It was decided to have a well dug at the new engine honse and the ap- proach graded, so that the house might be occupied in the course of ten days. The bill for the new hose carts was presented calling for 8725, Alderman Dawson said *here was only about $2 | n the fire bond fund with which to pay it, and some other way must be provided to meet the bill, Tt was fin- ally referred to the finance committee. The subject of lighting the city by electric light was brought up and talked over somewhat. A committee consisting of Aldermen Spetman, Phil- lips and Raine was appointed to com- municate with the officers of the cities where the electric light is in use, Adjournment was then taken until next Friday evening. s WILD MOLLIE. She Stirs Up a Couple of Rows and Glves the Police Sprightly Businese. There has been some ill-feeling be- tweon Mollie Scott and another color- corporation in the office of the secre- tary of state. The cupital is $38,000, On the 9th inat. 140 warrants were drawn on the auditor of state for 8275 each, to pay the members of the legislature their salary for half of the term, Senator Abraham has introduced a resolution prohibiting smoking in the To wa senate chamber and the house is engaged in the consideration of a bill to tax dogs. Senator Hartshorn has introduced ® bill proposing to raise the salary of the governor to £4,000, and appropri- ateing 81,500 for a private secrctary’s salary. Ttis a measure that should meet with universal approval. Over 85,000 has been raised by De Witt to carry on the cauvass for the removal of the county teat. Clinton and Lyons have woke up and adopted measures to counteract the movement circulating petitions remonstrating againgt the proposed removal. The Eldridgs house at Wheatland was totally consumed by fire about 12§ o'clock last night,§ the flames originating in some unknown manner. Only a portion ot the furniture was saved, and some of the inmates barely eacaped with their lives, losing all but the night clothes on their backs, Loas, £8,000. About three weeks agzo George ed girl named Maggie Haigood, and night before last Mollie arrived in town from Omaha and proposed to settle some old scores with Maggie The interview took place in front of Maggie's laundry, and the latter's white man and a number of colored folks gathered about and took a part in the word-slinging and abuse. As an outcome Mollie was arrested for using obscene language ou the strect, and yesterday was brought before Recorder Burke, and surrounded by a dark cloud of witnesses. Molliv de clared: “‘I'se a Tennessee coon, 1 iz, an’ dar dou't no yere commun colled pussen git away wid yer Ilennessee coon and walk off ” She was still hustling for a tight, and there was a lively commotion stirred up among the witnesses, who all wanted to testi- fy al the same time, and who blabbered and blustered until the with his hands. Order was finally re- stored sufficiently for Mollie to be up at $13,0, She walked forth breathing ven- geauce upon Maggie and her white out of sight of the officers, and ‘then proceeded to fasten her claws in her Tennessee coon was wild and it took three husky officers to make her lei go. They tumbled her into an ex- press wagun and - transported her to behind the bars again. ....... e Cupid’s Captives. Yeosterday afternoon there wasa young gathering of friends at the home of Dr. Thomas Jefferis, in this city, to witness the marriage of his daughter, Miss Parthenia V. Jefferis, to Mr. Finley A. Burke, Jr., son of Recorder Burke. The hospitality and good cheerincident to such an occasion was in full abundance, and those thus joyfully joined were the recipients of many congratulations and well-wishes, together with a goodly humber of choice gifts. Miss Jefferis has been for some time a teacher in the public schools of this city, and has gained many strong friendships here, Mr. Burke is an able attorney living at Orange City, 1n Sioux county, whither he and his bride proceeded on last evening's train, and where they will make their home. - hs! Are We Wrong ? Creston Advertiser, "The railroad commissioners, in their report, attribute much of the fault finding of shippers to a lack of knowledge of railroad business. That's just it. The railroad com- nussioners have hit it exactly. We aroall too ignorant of the business. We have always noticed that when a practical railroad man had goods de- tained two weeks going one hundred miles he invested his soal and said nothing. There is something heaven- ly, too, in the calm plmigity with which a man born on a flat-car and brought up in a freight office goos to confeasion, and tells his priest that he has had to slip goods through his own town one hundred miles west and back again, in order to prevent their costing him more than they are worth, The only remedy, then, for the ex- isting evils is for all to become rail- road men. Wo don't know enough about the business. Its iutricate workings are as great a mystery to us a8 the runs of Pompeii, When mer- chants fail to receiva goods in as good order as shipped they mustn’t ‘‘kick,” but go over into the yards and learn how to leave a freight car on a side track where no one can find it for a month or two, One who has never tried 1t cannot tell how solacing to the feelings this knowledge will be. The more the car you hide away is wanted somewhere the greater the solace. People nowadays are too awfully ignorant. They must brace up and learn something about the manner of working these great lines of traflio which do 80 much to thebenefit of the country. This knowledge will enable them to understand how people are robbed and mistreated simply cause they lack a kpowledge of railroad business, — 10WA ITEMS, The pay roll of the new capitol for January amounted to §16,378,18, The new Glenwood house will be open to the public about the 25th.

It was just too utterly funny, and all the passengers as well as your report- er ‘took it in.’ The .subject was a couple who had just been married, and who knows but that this was the “‘coming up” of their honeymoon. His name was Sander, and if he didn’t sand-her over, we miss our guess very much, in the way of ‘swapping spit.” He lovked up and down the caras though he expected somebody was ‘gazing’ at him, and then he suddenly turned and clasped her to his bosom, and of course the reader knows what followed. He tried it again in a sort of Emma Abbott way. This was just the thing, so he practiced it several times, when he stopped kissing and hugged her a little, and here, kind reader, he displayed real genius. He was a master in the art, and wouldn’t take a back seat for any one. He clasped her gently, then he squeezed her rapturous'y, then he grabbed her violently, then he embraced her slow- ly and impressively, then he hugged her firmly, as though he was going to remain in the hugging business the remainder of his lite, The couple kept up this ‘funny business’ until they reached Gowrie.
