Brother and Sicter Meet After Mary Years of Silence * and Separation. How They Found Each Other in This City Yesterday, ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE, A strange and happy meeting oc curred in this city yesterday between a brother and sister who, for twenty three yoars, have been separated, and whofhave durin g this weary stretch of time never heard from each other. The family name is Miller. The brother James and his sister Eda, wero mado orphans at an early age, and the family being broken up and the children left homeless, became soparated, being taken by differont families. She was but three years old and he was her elder by only a fow years. The relationship thus broken in childhood, before the ties of blood had been strengthened by years of a common home-life, caused a silent separation to grow up between them, and during the years they have lvst all track or trace of each other. The brother has been living in Chi- cago for years past and is now a ma- tured man of over thirty years of age. He has married and 18 the head of an interesting family and happy home. He has been conuected with one of the large elevators there and has amassed u goodly amount of property, besides having liberal income. The world has used him well, and surrounded by cumfort and happiness, about the ounly anxiety which crept into his thoughts was the remembrance ot a most faded trom his memory by the lapse of many years. He has won- dered what had become of her, how she was getting along, and longing to get some trace of her that he might share with her the prosperity with which his industry and shrewdness had been crowned. He made many inquiries, but in vain, until he learned that a person named Eda Miller was in Omaha, He at once used the wires only to be doubly disappointed oy learpir g that while the narae was the same, yet the woman was not his looked.-for sister. The inquiries which he then made in this vicinlty were not wholly in vain, though. ~Strange cnough, these very inquiries revealed the tact that in this city was a woman named Eda Miller, and hope revived. Oflicers Morse and Cusic took hold of the matter, and found that ehe wasreally the sister sought for. The brother arrived yesterday, and, in company with the officers, found the young baby sister, whose features had al-|Y { woman, and such a meeting! ‘It would be dealing too rudely with the delicate feelings which are sacred to dividual life to attempt to portray it It is sufficient that the identification was complete, and that brother and sister were alike over- joyed av again meeting each other after 80 many years of silence, in which their lives had been strangely varied and widely apart.

Tt was one of the best home entertainments ever given here and ladies here well earned their laurels, and the financial success attending the enterprise, LET THERE BE LIGHT. The Talk About Using Electrioity Instead of Gas in this City. The last council shortly before go- ing out of office empowered a com- mittee to hunt up facts and figures re- garding the practicability of using electric lights in this city. The new council is also taking some steps in this direction, and especially Alder- man Newell, who is a practical elec- trician, and who is also progressive in his ideas and the places from which information has been sought is Aurora, Ill. That the public may have, the facts gathered as speedily as possible, Tur Brg gives a few figures showing the way the experi ment was tried in that city. Aurora cluims to be the first city in the world to adopt the sever al tower system of electric light, they having been turned on November 8, 1881, By the old contract between the city and tho gas company which had been running about thir teen years, the city was paying $42.50 per lamp- post. The city, at the expiration of the contract, offered the company $256 per post. The company wanted $28.60. While this contract was ng, neithor being willing to , the Bush electric light was i troduced, and soon a contract w made. The electric light company was to furnish a dynamo-electric ma- chine, the power for running it, the help required to attend to it, the wire, 116 lamps of 2,000 candle power each, and keep them running on ‘“‘the Philadelphia ~ schedule,” for $6,000 per year and $300 per year for each additional lamp that the council might sce fit to order. This *Philadelphia schedule” provides for light at all hours between daylight and daylight when the moon is not in the sky, and for twelve extra nights in the year, intended to supply light for stormy nights, when clouds obstruct the moonlight. By the contract the city furnished towers, telegraph poles, and the labor of putting them up. The circuit by which Aurora is lighted is over five miles in extent. In this cir- cuit there are seven light stations, five of which have two lamps each, and two of which have three lamps, makingsixteon lamps in all. The cost of the seven towers was $1,950. The additional expense to the city was $188 for 140 telegraph poles, and aboat $130 for labor. It is claimed that under the gas post system only one-fifth of the city was lighted, there being 318 posts, costing under the old contract $42.50 apiece, or over $13,- 000, to say nothing of extras, while under the rate proposed by the gas company, 820 a post, it would cost $7,950. These are the facts and figures set forth by Aurora, and will prove of interest to the public in its consideration of the question as to how to light Council Bluffs, policy. Among - Practical Piety.

A Bribed Juror. Natioual Associated Fress Cuicago, March 30.--A sensation wis created in the criminal court this morning by the anmouncement made by the state’s attorney to the effect that a juryman now in the celebrated Gribler bribery case had himself been guilty of receiving a bribe. All the lawyers withdrew from the case, say- ing they would not try the case before the jury. Cases of sickness among members * CONCERNING THE CROOKED The Cases Which Took the Time and Attention of Courts and Officers Yesterday. The young man named Chafin, whose cross-eye has got him into so many troubles of late, as narrated in yesterday's Bre, was kept under lock and key until the arrival of officers from Onita, who were expected to identify him, but they didn’t. They said ho was not the man who was wanted for forgery, and Chafin was allowed to go tree. He went off cursing that cross-eyo of his as the cause of all his griefs. The trouble in the dug-outs seems to continue, and the threat is now made on the part of the authorities to clean out the whole row of gopher holes. Another colored man, Del Hennis, has been arrested on two charges, one of assault, the other of waliciows mischief. He is a partner of “Texns,” the coon who lately was arrested for emashing down a dug-out door with an axe. It is claimed that these two have been raising many disturbances among the demzens of holes in the bluffs, and that they have been raiding the dug-outs, smashing furniture, stealing old clothes, and doing other deviltry. Hennis is to have a hearing before Justice Abbott at 2 o'clock this after- noon. George Johnson was arrested Wed- nesday evening for threatening to shoot Henry Williams in a little rum- pus which these two started. Joseph Botts, the negro charged with assaulting and robbing Mr. Stu- debecker in Keg Creek township, had his examination before Judge Ayles- worth yesterday afternoon, Attorney Scott appearing for tlie state, in the absence of Attorney Hight, who is at Des Moines. Col. Dailey and Attor- ney John Lindt appeared for the prisoner. Botts, on being walked through the streets to the court room, heavily ironed, was the observed of all observers, end the examin- ation drew together quite a crowd of curious ones Mr. Studebecker and his wife were among the witnesses for the state, also Officer Edgerton and Jackson of Omaha, and Julia Mil- ler, of Omaha, to whom Botts made a partial confession. John Walton, the witness who claims that he was first in the plot, but finally backed out, was aleo put upon the stand. The facts elicited were about as have al- ready been given by Tue BEe. The defense introduced no witresses, and Judge Aylesworth held the prisoner for the grand jury’s action, bonds be- ing fixed at $2,000, which, of course, he was unable to give. The witness Walton was also locked up, his bonds being placed at $500. e The Okolona “States” Man. Mr. herman ihe famous fire eater ofThe Okolonastates, writes from Le mats to The Sioux City Journal:-~I find the following paragraph in the patent outside of many demi-semi-democratic papers publishel in the northwest: Kernan, the author of articles in The Okolona States that created such excitement on account of their scces- sion sentiments, is now employed on a country paper in Iowa, He says that he has always been a republican and was paid for writing the articles. Permit me to say in your columuns that the closing sentence of this quo- tation is AN UNQUALIFIED LIE, And the man wh»> wrote it is AN UNQUALIFIED LIAR, The sentiments of The Okolona States were and are my sentiments; were and are the senuments of the the identical doctrines of the northern peace democracy in 1861-5. The man who dares to deny this statement is either A fool or A knave, And I'lewe him to wear the cap and bells of the one, or the blistering shame of the other, as suits him best., One thing more: I never received a dollar for writing the articles in The States, save and except from Col.
