He has entered into a contract to work on the stone pile at 21.50 until he iseven with the city. ~The colored Methodists have arranged for a festival next Thursday evening to raise funds for the completion of the pur- chase of a lot on which to build a church, They have already $150 saved up for that puopose and want more, —George Tindall, of Nevada, came here yesterday and met his affianced, Miss Lydia Cunningham, of Lincoln, Neb, They, together, called upon Justice Ab- bott, who quickly tied the knot which made them one, and they started off joy- fully for her home in Lincoln, —A. C. Dowdy has been complained of for keeping a disorderly house aud selling liquor without a license, He appeared be- fore Recorder Burke yesterday afternoon, pleaded not guilty, and was allowed to go on his own recognizance until this after- noon at 2 o'clock, when he promi-es to bring np twenty or thirty witnesses to prove “it was no such a thing.” —City Engineer Judson is having heavy drafts made updn his time in giving grades 1o those contemplating building., There are a good many who are flling up lots and making other improvements, and from every quarter come indications that the coming season i¢ to be one of the liveliest in building ever known in the history of the city, —Jitizens begin to show some anxiety as to when the.work of building water- works is to begin. Some predict that the company will never put the works in avd others think they are waiting to sell their bonds to get money to work with. The company’s contract with the city is cer- tainly fat enough to warrant them in going ahead. —One aged pilgrim, engaged in horse trading, complained to the police yester- day that he had been robbed of $110 some time during the night, while he was asleep at his boarding house. Inquiry showed that the morning before he com. plained to some of his fellow boarders that he had been robbed of over $300. As he had been on quite a spree, there was tangible for the police to commence working on. —The city has no pluce of its own in which to confine femal prisoners, Such have to be sent to the county jail and their board there charged up to the city. On the other hand, in state cases, the male prisoners, whom it belongs to the county to board, are arrested and lodged in the calaboose at the city’s expense un- til they have a hearing. Accommoda- tions should be provided where the city can take care of its feminines as well as its males, —Ed, F, McCarthy was brought, before United States Commissioner Key to an- swer to the charge of selling liquor and ci- gors without Uncle Sam's needed permit. McCarthy claimed the saloon did not be- long to him but to Mr. Nicholson of min- strel fame. The latter appeared and tes- titied that he bought the saleon in June, and had the necessary license, This left it apparent that during the month of May McCarthy run the place without a license, and he was held on the charge in the sum of $400 —In the circuit court yesterday the jury in the case of Kaiser va, the Kansas City & Council Bluffs railway, after being out all night returned a verdlct in favor of the Plaintiff for 8150 damages for the horse killed by the cars. The case of the same plaintiff against the same defendant for damages on account of a cow killed on the road, was given to the jury about noon, and they spent all afternoon in hunt. ing for a verdict. The next case taken up was thatof Fritz against the same company for injuries caused to a bull by being hit by a passing train. ~George Phillips, a dusky gentleman, broke into the City restaurant, near Do- bany's opera house, on Weduesday night, and stole some bed spreads and sheets for which he menaged to find a purchaser. Yesterday Constable Rosencrans started out with & warrant after him, and after a lively chase succeeded in nabbing the thief just as he was about taking the dummy across the river. Phillips was ledbefors Justice Abbott and pleaded guilty to larceny but denied breaking in, He was sent to the jail for thirty days, The place will seem quite homelike to him, as he was only released from there two days ugo, having been serving a term for a like offense. —The committee of the council ap- pointed to investigate the charges against Chief of Police Fields, met yesterdsy morning at the city building. Mr, Fields appeared before the committee o8 did also Mr. Max Mahn, and both stated a'out the same facts as have already been made public as coming from them, Word was sent to Col. Keatley, but he did not appe.r and there being no other witnesses on bhand adjournment was taken until this morning, at which time it is hoped that other witnesses will appear and tell what ! they know. It seems a little odd that the defense should be heard first, but such weems to be the case. Ordinarily the pros- | ecution takes the firat clatter, but in this case there seems to be a reverse of the usual order. The committee has no power to compel the attendance of witnesses, and hence no great revelutions are expected. The resolution calling for the investiga- tion provided only for an inquiry into Chief Fields' action, so that the commit. tee are supposed to limit their search to that official's record, The smoke has not settled so much around Fields as around MArshal Morse, and the latter ought to be included, The investigation being in- formal and limited will probably not prove very satiafactory to either those who prefer the changes «r to those who deny them, g2V Shosi-s Mebeiabr PERSONAL. K. L. Marsh, of the Omaha opera house, dined at the Ogden yesterday. J. 8. Woods, of Ottumwa, auditor of claims on the C., B, & Q. road, was in the city yesterday. E. F. Stockert, the furniture man, now rejolces as those only can to whom has come the gift of a bright, bouncing boy baby. William Rutledge, a sturdy yeoman of Harrison county, near Mondamin, was in the city yesterday, having made a large wmlo of broom corn to Mayne & Co.'s broom factory. Mayor R. D, Clarke, U. 8, army, is in the city, expecting to remain some weeks, and probably spend the summer here. He is accompanied by his family, and has headquarters at the Ogden, James B. Smith, of Chicago, was in the clty yesterday looking atter the prospoct of securing a street paving contract here, While in the city he met some of his old comrades of the Thirty-sixth Massachu- setts, of which he was the lieutenant-col- onel. They could see that he looked no older than #hen he was amidst the flying bullets a score of years ago. R S BULLETS AND BEER. A Rnfflanly Row in a Broad- way Saloon. One Fellow Shot. Through the Leg and Several Receive Cuts and Bruises. A wild row occurred at Neil Ander- son's saloon and boarding house on Broadway between Seventh and Eighth streets, Wednesday night. A party of Danes, numberiog eight or ten, most of whorh were boarders at the house, were sitting drinking beer and having a jolly good time, when another party of six or eight fellows entered, apparently bent on mischief. After taking a round of beer, they commenced chafling the others and stirring up a broil. One seeing war threatened in the air, started to go out of the door, but was promptly knocked down, which was the signal for a free-for-all fight. Beer glasses flew, knuckles were used, and a badly mixed and rather bloody scrimmage ensued. The raiding party fired sev- eral shots, and after being forced out of the saloon fired several shots through the windows. One of Ander- son’s boarders, named John Norman, was shot in the leg, the bullet making a flesh wound only. Others in the saloon escaped being shot by using the stove, ice-box and counter as barri- cades, At the close of the war the place had & hard appearance. Chairs, tables, glasses and windows presented a deplorable and smashed appearance. There were moro or less wounds in- flicted by brass knuckles and flying beer glasses, and most of the contest- ing parties had black eyes, scratched faces, bleeding noses, and generally bloody and damaged appearance. Several of those belonging at the sanloon were arrested, Lars Housen, Peter Poterson and V. Allgraff spent the rest of the night at the station, and were roleased in the morning with Mr. Anderson as surety for their appearance this morning, by which time it is expected that others con- cerned in the row will be captured and presented to the court, There were yesterday arrested as glrticipnn(u in the affair, Charles raves, George Gerspacher, Ed, Bates, Louie Basher and Ed. Phillips, each of which was held in $26 bonds for their Amennnuc to-day. They are supposed to be of a party which went to the saloon to clean the Danes out, and they stand charged with havin, done the shooting, l{'iey all plud-s not fiuiltv and asserted their lamb- like innocence, saying that it was the Danes who opened the fight, and that the Danes did all the shooting, Thomas Jefferis, Jr., while walking along jhe street just before this row, was assaulted suddenly by one of the party of fellows, who dealt him a heavy blow on the side of the head but the stiff brim of his hat weakened its force somewhat. He waited for no explanation, but gathered up his hat and sought u more congenial part of the city. He is certain that his as- sailants were the crowd who wont to clean out the Danish saloon. Some complaint has begn made be- cause the Ro iceman arrested only the Danes and locked them up, leaving the crowd who did the firing have a run until the next day, It is claimed that the officers could have readily se- ?unul all concerned in the aflair, and if it was fair to lock one up, it was fair to lock all up. THEfOMAHA'DAILY BEE: FRIDAY TIMBER GROWING. Thoughts Given by One Who Has Been Figuring Over the Matter. office the other morning and placed upon the editorial desk some samples of black walnut grown in this county, and which he deemed good texts for preaching some practical sermons on timber growing. The specimens showed that the growth of fifteen years produced a tree about eight inches in diameter, and the donor suggested that if a grove of growing wslnut was left as an inheritance to a young man it wouid in the course of twenty years prove a mine of wealth exceeding the ordinary run of gold and silver mines. Not only would individual wealth accrue from such a source, as anyone can readily figure out, but if tree planting was entered into generally it would bave a climatic influence which would permit of the culture of fruits and berries, for which the present climate and winds prove too severe . When Mr, Duncan first came into this couutry he thought of starting a cottonwoud grove, but did not do s and now looks upon it a8 one of the o8t opportunities, lost to him at age is creeping on; but still open to younger men if they will improve it. Bya little figuring the profits seem im- mense. By planting cottonwood trees eight feet apart on forty acres, one would have 12,800 trees. At the end of the fifteen years every other tree could be cut out. It is estimated thai jhe 6,400 trees thns cut would produce 19,200 cords of wood, and at the net profit of $2 a cord would make a nice little sum, besides leaving 6,- 400 more trees, which if left until the end of another period would yield four cords to a tree, giving a profit of about §50,000. Such are some of the figures which are presented with the little bit of wood to show what can be done by tree culture if people will only work and wait. The importance of trce culture is pressing itself more and more upon the minds of these who look far into the future, but it rests lightly on the average American as the spirit of the times is not only to make as much profit as possible but to make it as soon as possible. BT A NEW ENTERPRISE. Arrangements Made for Developing the Macedonia Stone Quarry. Articles of incorporation have been drawn up and sent to Des Moines for filing, by which the Macedonia Stone Mining company is organized with a capital stock of $33,000. The corpo- rators are Alex G. Miles, Henry H. Barry, George Loucks and Francis M. Miles. The stock is already taken, and it is the intention of the com- pany to develop the quarry so as to supply a large quantity of excellent buirdx,ng lton‘: fary the use of -this city and surroundin, country. The quarry is one wel known thmnThout this part of the state, beins‘r:onud between Mace- doma and on in Macedonia town- ship in this county. For a long time more or less of the surface rock has been used, and even that has done good service as building stone, some of it having been used in the present calaboose and some in the Broadway Methodist church, where it has stood the test of fifteen years or more, The lower stratas are said to be far beyond this surface stone in quality and dur- ablity, and it is proposed to Jevelop this, A yard for finishing is to be established in this city, and it is expeoted that the long felt want of building stone will be amply met. There is no question but that an abundant supply of good building stone would prove a great benefit to this city and its surround- ings, and such stone would be in great demand. The only question is whether the duvveloping of this (}uury will wmeet such a demand. That the incorporators think it will is evidenced by the fact that they pur- pose putting money and the necessary machinery at work at once. There are now two openings in the quarry for GO to 120 feet. A shaft has lately been sunk about 10 by 12 feet and to a depth of thirty feet, and other developments made, includ- ing a bore made for coal which pene- trated the ledge nearly 200 teot, the rock assuming the character of the best Joliet stone so much used in Ohicago buildings, There are blocks now exposed to view, which are from twelve to twenty feet without a break, and in quality it is pronounced superior to Des Moines or Missouri "% claimed th t is claimed that the supply and quality will both prove so anlul:l):wtory as to render the quarry a wonderful addition to the industries of this city and county. s 1OWA ITEMS, C"tmmd buqdedui)ndubtudueu of Towa ity, drawing er cent, has by refunded at ¢ purl:ont. hertapthn Seventeen hundred valentines were distributed through the Si i vostoftice on the lgl'h.

They Propose to reform the municipal gov- ernment in the right Way, The Ad- vertiser refuses to be comforted. The capital board of commissioners report that it will cost $650,000 to complete the building. The question |is being agitated by the legislature Mr. Duncan stepped into Tne Bek | vhether it will not be well to leve a special tax for the purpose of com- pleting the building this season or next. It is shown by the commission- ers that it will not cost any more to complete it in one or two years than will in five years, There is one strictly virtuous news- paper in Towa, The Davenport Ga- zette, referring to the recent prize fight, says: With the belief that such a brutal show cannot be other- wise than demoralizing, the Gazette condensed the half-column account sent by the Associated Press into the space of a few lines. If there are any among our readers who are de- based enough to wish to read a mi- nute account of such a contest, we suppose that their desires can be gratified, but not through the columns of this paper as long as it remains a a journal for the family aad the home. This 1s particularly refreshing coming from a newspaper whose columns are flooded with obscene ad- vertisements of quack doctors, patent mediciaes, and “‘marriage guides.” A SINGULAR CASE. The Body of the Young Man Found to be Perfect After . wo Years’ Bu- rial. Lenox Time Table, Most of our readers were acquaint- ed with Frank M. Johnson, and will remember the disease of which he died, that of consumption, at Corn- ing, two years ago the 15th day of March next. He was buried in the cemetery at Brooks which is a high, dry piece of ground in the edge of the timber, the soil being a little sandy. On Thursday of last week the friends and neighbors of his people went to Brooks and disintered the body with a view of moving it to the Grove Center cemetery. Arriving at the cemetery they decided to open the coffin, and on removing thelid of the outer box the coffin was found just as perfect in finish as when placed there two years ago. The lid was then removed from th coffin, and with the exception of a light mould over the clothing, it was, a8 was also the corpse, as natural as when first interred, being in a perfect stete of preservation. His mother was there, and laid her hand on his face. When he was placed in the coffin a bible was placed in his right hand, and he was still clasping it as when first it was laid there, The body was not petrified, but to all appearances remains unchanged. From a conver- sation with some of the friends and the undertaker who had the corpse in charge at interment, we learn there was no embalming used except to wet his face with spirits «f camphor. The coffin which, as above stated, was in perfect preservatiou, was made of poplar wood, made in the usual man- ner with 0, G, top and encased in a common pine box. Although the case is remarkable, not because of .the lapse of time, but that there were no signs of approaching decay. e ————— Sharp Practice by a Duchess. "= Faris Correspondence London Standard. The Paris court of appeal has given a judgment in a case concerning an English merchant which should be a warning against transacting business with married ladies, even though they may be of high rank. The case is briefly this: On the 23d of October, 1880, the duches of Bauffremont exe- cuted a document, duly drawn up by a solicitor, acknowledging her lability to E. Emmanual, described as a mer- chaut of London, in the sum of 118,- 714 francs 26 centimes, and agree- ing to pay the same in five in- stalments, with interest at the rate of G per cent per annum. On default heing made when tho first instalment became due, proceedings were {aken ending in an execution upon a portion of the duchess’ furniture. A claim was then preferred to submit the mat- ter to a judge in chambers, on the ground that the property seized was included in the marriage settlemont of the duchess and was therofore in- alienable. The judge referred to de- cided in favor of the duchess, but granted a case for the court of appeal, which yesterday confirmed his de- e:llion, eaving M. Emmanuel to pay the c COUNGCIL BLUFFS SPECIAL NOTICES. . —Special advertisements, such as Lost, Found, To Loan, For Sale, To Rent, Wants, Boarding, cte., will be fnse 0 this column at the low rate of TEN LINE for the first inscrtion and F ™ PER LINE for cach subsequent insertion, Leave advertisements at our office, Room b, Everett's Block, Broadway.
