The Diligent Search for the Corpse of a Supposed Mur- dered Woman, and What Foul Deed Did Who was It They Commit \ mysterious affray occurred Mon- day night in what is known as “Duck Hollow. were noticed eatly in the evening in acovered buggy drawn hy a rather lively gnited horse. The ‘rig passed up Broadway eatly in the evening, and was noticed returning again about Do'clock. At a still later hour of pight the same rig and some parties were scen in the vicinity of Foster's green house on Howson street, and a little later sonie of Mr. Foster's folks heard screams, a cry of ‘‘murder,” Two men and a woman provides ‘‘that the council, on or be. fore the first day of March, employ & fit and proper person to act and serve il policeman on _and park, and who shall ro ympeneation the sum of ser month, v s other wise fixed by the councii, out of the tolice fund, and that such person shall be 8o employed from the Ist of h until the 1st of November of each year, and that such person shall be nominated by the mayor and con firmed by the council. The ordinance proposed by Alder man Goulden as repealing this is sim ply amendatory of it, so far s to re move the power of the mayor to ap- point. It includes the same provi- sions in substance as the old ordi- nance, with this exception. The new ordinance was giyen one reading and laid over. Magor Bowman again announced that, until the proposed ordinancedid pass, he had the right to appoint, and he therefore named Charles Warner avain, and left it to the council to confirm or reject. They did neither, but let the matter rest there, Under the new form of government the mayor has the right at any time toap- point special policemen until the next meeting of the council, and he pro- poses to appoint Warner from time to two or three pistol shots and other indications of a deadly struggle, in which was plainly heard a feminine voice. Then all was quiet. Word was at once sent to police headquar- ters, and Officer Barhyte proceeded immediately to the vicinity and made a careful search, but found nothing to throw any light on the traneact- ion. Yesterday morning another search was made by Chief Field. He found the tracks of a buggy, and one place where the marks left by the wheels indicated that the bugey had been dricen out to one side of the road. Near by wore marks of footsteps as thaugh the parties in the buagy had alighted. There was plainly seen the mark of the heel of a fashionable feminine shoe. Near by was also found some pieces of abroken bottle, sunposed to have been a vial of chloreform, and still stranger, a gzentleman’s large seal ring, which must have dropped off in the mysterious struggle. A little further along the ground bore the marks of there having been® scuffle of some kind. The police were in a strange state of mystery all of vesterday. Dili- gent search was made among the liv- erymen to find out where the rig came from and who hired it. The houses of prostitution were visi- ted to find whether any of the girls had been out on a lark. In fact all possible avenues of informatinn ‘were followed out, but without any satisfactory clue being obtained, The lady is said to have worn a light hat, and the trio are so well observed that it is certain that they were the parties concerned in the mysterious affair, but they were not sufficiently identified as to be placed and named. During yesterday several additional facts were learned, Witnesses were found who said that they saw the two.men beating the women as the three rode by in the time, and keep him at work until the council takes action. As the council meets every evening this week, he can only appoint a day at a time. It is apparent that some in the council favor the appointment of some other person than Warner, and are seeking to circumvent the mayor by taking the power of appointment out of his hands, The mayor now has the right to appoint all policemen, and the proposed ordinance secks to evade this by making the men have simply the powers of police in making arrests for offenses in the park. 1t is evident that the whole is sim- ply an issuo between the mayor, who favors Warner, and some of the coun- cil who tavor others, Who will win! A GOVERNMENT BUILDING. Shell Couneil Bluffs Have One, and, if 8o, How ? The general desire felt here for a government building, roomy enough to acco nmodate Uncle Sam’s business, and beautiful enough to be in keeping with the size and prosperity of the city, causes the question to be re- peated daily, when and how shall it be had? The bill intreduced into congress for an appropriation for that purpose has been reported upon fa- vorably by the committee who had it in hand, and it now awaits the action of the house. The fear is naturally felt that it will meet the fate of pre- vious bills and die without reaching a vote, unless some special effort is made to force attention to its merite. Biils have lately passed for govern- ment buildings in New York, Colum bus and Minnea)olis, and still Coun- cil Bluffs is left in the pigeon hole. As an indication of the number of like bills introduced, it is stated that there are 123 calling for a total appro- priation of $17,300,000.

No one blames them. The police fund warrants are paid in cashand at their face, while the others have to be sold at a discount. The police of the city having had their pay reduced to sixty dollarsa month, payable in general fund warrants, which would make the pay equal to about fifty dollars cash, naturally object, They ask the council to make the pay at least equal to cash. —Mr. E. R, Steinhilber is laying the foundation for the furniture factory, on Seventh avenue, near the Chicago & North. western track, Most of the lumber is on the ground, and the machinery is all pur. chased.

The seal ring found by the ofticers near the spot was a cheap, ‘““anide” one, costing per- baps a dollar or so. It was of too lit- tle value to warrant a loser in spending much time in finding it, unless he feared that it might be evi- dence used against him. On the other hand, if any foul deed had been committed it would be almost foolhar- diness for one of the perpetrators to appear upon the very scene of the tragedy. Some are firm in the belief that the whole sensation simply arose from a drunken spree, and that perhaps the firing of shots in a jovial way fright- ened the horse, causinga tip-over and smash-up, There are some circum- stances, however, which such a suppo- sition can hardly account for, An ex- cellent opportunity is now presented for showing what sort of detective talent the police force contains, BOTHERING BOWMAN, A Scheme to Thwart the Appointing Power of the Mayor. There has been a seeming harmony between the new council and the new mayor, until the initial action was taken in rogard to park police- men, A council committee presented at a recent meeting a report recom- mending that L. H, Wallin and Mr, Jackson be employed to look after the more of it. Such slimly attended meetings, when said important mat- ters are at stake, indicate too little life, pluck and determination, It is expected that a special meet- ing will be called someime this week. If not, another meeting will surely be held next Monday evening, Steps should at once be taken to bring a pressure to bear, and forces at work to accomplish the desired end. This city is entitled toa government build- ing——the government needs one, It ahould be got, if among the possibil- ities, It is encouraging to know that some of our leading citizens expect soon to be in Washington and will do what they can for the bill. Itis stated that Father McNenomy expects to start for Washington in the course of a few days. A number of sites are talked of for the building, provided it can be had, opnosite the court house. The board of trade is to take up this question, and decide upon some location to recommend to congress. The citizens should be alive to these questions, and be willing to put in time and thought into helping along this and other enterprises of great moment to this city., READERS OF THE BEE, We are trying to get your trade, and by HONEST DEALINGS and Goop BooTs AND sHOES to hold it, Z.

I went into one of the groceries, and a grave and reverend Chinamen, who looked as if he had the wisdom of the centuries and the concentrated cunning of a thousand foxes, twisted up in his pig- tail, eyed me from behind his round goggles, and asked me my errand. ‘I want a servant.” ‘‘You want China boy for do cookee!” *Yes, and any- thing else he's asked to do.” ‘‘How much you give” ‘“Whatever is right.” That phrase seemed to please him, His eyes twinkled, and he con- tinued: “I" get you China boy—you pay him §30 month.” “‘Too much.” “You pay him 830 month? Why not? You pay Melican girl $15 month. One China boy worth. two Melican girl. * Melican girl put hair in pie. China boy no put hair in pie. Meli- can girl she make man come into your house. Chine, boy he no make man come into your house. You pay Meli- can girl $15 month, she eat $20 month; you pay China boy $3C month, he eat $4 month. You pay Melican girl 815 month, and Melican girl boss, You pay China boy month, and you boss, You all glad you pay China boy $30 month by and by, China boy ask $40 then.” “‘Old man,” T said sadly, “you are right; it is worth 815 a month to be boss in your own house, but I can’t stiord the lux- ury,” and I turn away. As I lifted the latch of the door the animated old Idol said oracularly: “You come egain sometime, sure. When all dishes broke you come back for China boy.

T\ Lixvsey & Co. e L T R P She Forgot She Was Married. Chicago Inter-Ocean. It is related of an absent-minded young lady that, having been duly married, she started off on her brdal tour. The party stopped ata west- ern city, So far, good. Some time in the night there came a succession of terrific shrieks from the room oc- cupied by the bride and groom, and the clerks, porters and employes gen- erally rushed up stairs only to meet a frantic female figure, clad in white, fleeing in desperate haste from her apartment, crying: ‘“Oh, there's a man in my room!” The clerk rushed in and found the groom half disrobed, standing in the middle of the floor, one boot on and the other in his hand, the picture of amazement. He ex- plained that he had just come up stairs_and was in the act of undress- ing, his wife having previously re- tired, when she suddenly awoke with a shrick and fled. “What was the matter!’ asked the clerk. ‘‘Danni- no,” said the husband. Just then the bride, enveloped*in a huge bed-spread procured for her by a chambermaid, camo back, looking very red and foolish, and in half a minute she ex- plained the mystery by saying: *‘Oh, Fred, I forgot T was married, and when I awoke I was so frightened.” Chicago's Scalawag Party Wins.
