Tho plans of the new govermment building reached here yesterday, and were' forwarded by Postmaster Armour to the superintenpent, 0. J. King, of Cerning. | {In the district court yesterdsy -Jaidge Lyman presided at the trial of the ‘dam- e case of Barton vs. Lackey, oontinued. Thore s about forty witnesses inattond- ance, and the case will probably take most of to-day. The case of Fred Kuhl against'Henry Dechler has been tramsferred from'Mills county to the circuit court heve, 11n this case Kuhl claims €5,367 daniages on account of Dechler firing awovolver from across the street in Minedla, 1the ‘ball striking Kuhl, The occurrence was on the 1Gth day of July. S. T. French, who has mow established his headquarters in Peregoy & YMoore's retail store on Broadway, is operating in groceries and provisions through one of the oldest and best Chioego ‘hoases, ‘Mc- Dermid, Puss & Co., and is ' receiving telographic market weports .every «half hour,lplacing them on the big blackboard. Mr. French is a gentloan who will make a success of this ontewprise,~and he is known here and has the confidence of the public. The electric light heschanged its head- quarters to the founday, where it will surely get power emeugh not merely to run one circuit, but for seventy-five lights at least. The wizeswere yesterday being run down Maia etveet,and to-night it is expected that the lampsmow up will be set going and kept going. 1In putting the wires along Main street, ono of the firm of Jacquemin & Co. wefused. very peremptorily to have the wire -stretohed: across their building, and.a post had to be planted there. John Stewart has ked tvouble-with ong of his boarders, Johu Traay. Stowart re: fuse to give up his valise unless Tracy 1 paid for night's a lodging which he.claim, ed to have paid for. Tracy, bound to : have his valise, smashed open.a door.and got it. Stewart had Tracy arrested yes- . terday for burglary and for aualicious mischief. The charge of burglary was di;minud, but he was bound ever an: the other. There was quite a delegation .of ,nota- I bles from other parts of the county here yesterday, seeing what they eould.do to get the courts to hold terms of court at Avoca as well as in Council Blu#s, so as to both accommodate the attorneys, (liti- gants and witnesses from the east.end of the county, who claim it is too great a hardship to have to come so far, ‘(I'his question, like that of the division .of the county, has been quite thoroughly dis- cussed, and the facts shown up in dimes past, and this move seems only a vevival of the old attempt. It will meet with Jittle encouragement from the citizens.of Council Blufls, The wooden stairway leading to Jannie iFleming's photograph gallery, was yos-| sterday torn down by the marshal, and /that lady drew quite crowd by the way| »ahe dressed out the city officials with| iher tongue. The council sometime ago| wordered the sidawalk removed as it was an_obstruction to the street, but the yrder was suspended on the promise that she would remove it herself by Deceu- ber 16th. Failing to do so, down it came yesterday. The ,city authorities seem wonderfully ticklish “about some viola- tigns.of the city omlinrnce, while others can violate them without any protest. are other stairs outside of build- ings, like that at the Nonpareil block, ‘Why not treat all alike! That's the query meny ask. There was more trowkde Sunday night at the Le #leur mansion, in which the girl Sadie McBride, who has been help- . ing Madame Le Fleur in the laundry business, seems to have been punished . badly. Both ,of her eyes were blinded | and draped, ang the bridge of her nose broken, while the girl after being taken to jail went into one spasm afteranother, “fl three streng men to hald her. Y iy she was co far hersell as to be able to sign a complaint charging Mad- ame Le ¥leur mt’ Monsieur Le Fleur ith assaulting her thus brutally, They were arrested, and the man sent to jail to wait an examination nex¢ Friday before Bohurz, His wife was released jon her own recognizance. She claims the McBride girl was drunk and as- d her, and - is certain: the whole outfit has & fad odor, and ought to ba cleaned out. DR. CROSS' BILL.

From the date of this occurrence nothing was heard of the old clock until about two years after. wards, when a party of Indians who were trading in the Juniata valley, where the Swivel famil, d subsequent- ly moved, exchanged the old timepiece for ammunition to the very family from which it had been stolen l{unnz the In dian raids in the Cumberland valley.

Pearl St mw AL More New Bulldings, Tuk Bk skirmishor yesterday found E. Maxon, the architect, busy with various plans for new building onter- prises, among them a new residence to bo built by J. A. Murphy on a site ‘near Judge James'. This residence s ‘to bo two storics and basement, gothic in style, a frame structure 35x50 feet, com- plete in all its appointments, and to cost 26,000 0r g0, He is also preparing plans for a now hotel to be built hy Jacob Neumejer on the site of the old iBryant house. 'This building is to be of Ibrick, with a frontago of 35 feet,and to be three storios in height. It will at pres. ent run hack only 38 feet, but noxt sum- will be built clear through to the alley, giving it a depth of over 100 foot. It will prove a great addition to thet .part of Brondway. Mr. Maxon is also preparing plans for a number of buildings outside of the city, including a new operahouse at Dunlapand a new church ifor the Methodists of Shenandoah. e —— Rev. Mr. Armstrong, of the Methodist Yesterday afternoon a little boy named Lorenzo Day, a son of W. H. Day, while walking along the south bank of the creek, east of North First street, no- ticed a little wooden box and on prying up a part of the cover was horrified at finding that it contained the body of a ‘babe. He left- the box just where he found it, and the police being notifiod Chief Field went to the spot, took the bex and delivered it into the hands of Undertaker Morgan. The box was ap- parently one which had been used for starch, and was maiked on the lid *10 1ba bulk,” There was wrapped about the body an old newspaper and a bit of white cloth. The body was that of a new born girl baby, but there was noth- ing to indicate how it got there, or by whom it had been placed there. The bady.is to be at once taken to the ceme- tery and properly interred, as there seaws littlo chance for any further light to be thrown on the affair. e — <Go to Hurlburt's fancy steam dyeing and French dry cleaning works at 34 Pearl street. — TRACK TALK. Gleanings of News From the way Men, ey p— Mhe C. R,, I & P, company are put- \ting inaside track and a depotat Under- wood, and it will be the first station out of the city in a few days. Work on the new railroad that is to run from Atlantic indefinitely each way ‘north and south, is in rapid progress, and it is,axpected the rolling stoek will be in the track before long. The people along ithe line are in a quandary as:to what \eompany is building the road or where its terminus will be, but.an additional road munning parallelwith the Griswold branch of the ©, R,, I. & P. from Atlantic south s a fargane, conzlusian. From Conductor A. Swivel, of the C. R,, L & P, road, who has been faith- fully serving this company for the past thirteen yoars, a Brr cepresentative has| just obtained the following information | cencerning an heirloom of the Swivel De! Edward Bwivel, of {untingdon, is| . the possessor of an antiquepiece of mech- anisin which has a romarkablo history, In 1712 the ancestors of Mr, Swivel left Germany for Awmerica, and gmong their effocts was a old-fasbioned clock that was prized ly by them as an heirloom. Before reaching America the vessel on which they had sailed was wrecked, A fow weeks after the cargo of the vessel was recovered by wreckers, when the old clock was sont to its proper owners, who had located in Pennsylva- nia. At this time the Indians h come very troublesome 1 the € land valley, where the Bwivels h - tled, and the inhabitants of that region were kopt in of an impend- fug invasion. Finally an attack was made on the settlers, many of whom woge killed, & number taken into cap- tvity, and ther village destroyed. Among the number taken captive were the Swivals, who were treated barbar- usly by their dusky captors, but were finally liborated after months of priva- church, on Sunday night, pitchedintothe theaters, opera houses, actars .and ac- trensus generally, and sather indi uately. He will receive due.oredit for being frank enough to speak outihis sen- timents, without fear or favor, but the weakness of the discourse seomed.to be in the lack of diseriminations, he virtual- ly classing the variety theatar now ran- ning on Brosdway with the logitimate rai To him the leg-itimate and the logitimate shows seemed alike bad, and he criticised aharply the attompt to rase money by the sale of tickets fer the com- Plutiun of Dohany’s mew opera house. This lack of diserimination botween a poor play or a company of prostitutesand the real drama, presented by true artists, the lack of discrimination ~betweon the manager of a low variety show aad the builder of a magniticent building, gxeatly lensoned the force of even his juat criti- cisms on the theatre and those who take part therein. 3 N [~ 3 SPECIAL NOTICES.
