Mullane, late of The Neola Re- rter, now proposes starting a paper in ersia, This being the week of prayer, noon meotings are held at the Y. M.C. A, daily. To-day is the last chance of securing desirabie seats for Miss Neally Stevens’ piano recital. Permit to marry was yesterday given to G. L. Sweeney, of Oskaloosa,and Jen- nie Gurp, of Persia. Arthur Walcot; of the U. P., yesterday received the sad news of the death of his father at Oakfield, N. Y. The stockholders of the driviag park association, met at the court house at 10 o'clock this morning to elect officers for next year. On Sunday night some thief broke into Sam Ford's saloon on Broadway, and got away with a bottle of whisky but no cash, Mestayer's Tourists arrived here Sat- urday, and appeared at Dohany’s last night. Plattsmouth will be their next stand. The grand piano which did not arrive in time for Miss Stevens’ Omaha concert will be here for her recital in this city this evening. Only chance of hearing Miss Stevens before her return to New York, where she will play under the direction of Theo- dore Thomas, Iu fixing the bridge on Eighth street a pile was driven right through the water main, and the break was discovered only when the water was turned on. Anyone who has brains and energy can Tearn of a good business, needing no cap- ital, by raeding the special notice of “‘Agents Wanted” in another column. An information was filed in Justice Vaughan’s court yesterday, charging J. Roberts with malicious mischief in cut- ting some timber on some land of Officer & Puscy. A number of young ladies of the city gave a leap year party at Shugart’s block last evening, which proved highly en- !E)ynbls. The supper was served by W. . Braun, Tickets for Miss Stevens' concert are on sale at Bushnell & Brackett'’s,. Don’t forget to secure seats to-day early as there is only a small number of the most desirable still unsold. In spite of tha intense cold last Thurs- day evening a much larger audience than usually is attendant on concerts assem- bled in Boyd's ogsn house to welcome Miss Stevens on her first appearance in Omaha. The county board of snpervisors has changed its political complexion, The old board consisted of two democrats and three republicans. The new board has only one republican member—Mr, Frum, John Curtis, a colored man, and Jennie Green, a white woman, were arrested yes- terday on the charge of obtaining $3 in money under false protenses of Mrs. Francis Warner. The matter was set- tled up. The fellow Greenwald, who has lately been complained of for obtaining goods of second-hand dealors under false pre- tenses, is now wanted for the larceny of a box of tobacco from a grocery store on Bfro'l:dwny. Tt is said he has skipped cut of town. ‘The Waterworks company haviag as- sured the city council that in case of fire | da the hydrants may be used without the dtym‘being linlélo, moomh;g i‘l:volvsd apparent reo ion of the con- tract, the city now has a pretty sure fire protection. William Wright, a colored man, was arrested yesterday afternoon for stealing coal. He is a simple-minded fellow, who has been hanging about the streets for some weoks picking up old clothes, cold wvictuals, etc. When he was taken to the police station he found there as & com- panion piece a dilapidated white man, a thorough vagrant, who had gone un- Wfiu #0 long that he was even darker the darkey.

A Digligt Session of fhe City Conneil, Varions Matters of Public Interest Attended To. The city council met yesterday Sfore} noon, instead of evening, the objectof the change to that time being to get through the business so as to allow the members who intended to go to the gathering at Des Moines to get off on the evening train, The mayor and a full board were present, The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and a large number of bills allowed. The city treasurer's report waspresent- ed, showing the following to be the state of the several funds: General fund, overdrawn, $4,824.44; police fund, cash on hand, $3,758.45; loan fund, on hand, $2,164; sewerage fund, §278.60; literary fund, $105.10; levee fund, overdrawn, $0.75; judgment fund, on hand, $87.77; total balance, cash on hand, 81,6569.79. The city clerk’s raport showed the re- ceipts of his office in December to have been $711.20, of which $317.70 was from city criminal cases, state criminal cases, $3; civil cases, $10; licenses, $380.50. The city auditor's report, as already published in Txe Bee, was received and placed on file. Auditor Burke stated that he had a large number of uncancelled warrants on hand, and there being no vault in which to keep them he thought they ought to be destroyed. The mayor, auditor and finance committee were instructed to cancel and destroy the same. Ald, Siedentopf presented a report on the bill prepared to be presented to the legislature in regard to the issuing of im- provement bonds. Some changes were recommended and the decument then turned over to those of the aldermen who are to go to Des Moines. The trustees of the public library ten- dered their second annual report which presented a favorable showing. There are 3,943 books roported as on the cata- logue, besides the public documents and pamphlets. The increase of the tax from one-half mill to three-quarters of a mill would enable the trustees to make the library more valuable the coming year. There had been drawn during the year 18,350 volumes, of whith 10,473 were works of fiction, 2,382 poetry, essays, otc., 1,250 history, biography, etc., 616 scientific works, 325 philosophy, 297 re- ligious, 301 travels. There was a total of 27,000 visitors during the year. The trustees expressed themseclves as gratified at the number of pupils in pub- lic schools who were making use of the library in connection with their studies. They recommended, however, that par- ents take upon themselves some care and watchfulness as to the manner and kind of reading indulged in by their children, 1t was the intention of the trustees to place upon the shelves only such books as could be safely placed in any home, and yet, despite this cace, the reading of children should be guided at home. The trustees, in speaking of the need of more room, urged the council to con- sider the wisdom of erecting .a building for library purposes exclusively. mThu report was received and placed on o, Alderman James called attention to he fact that terms of th ree trustees, D. C. Bloomer,J, P. Cassadyand J. R. Reed, had expired, and the vacancies sheuld be filled. A ballot was taken, Alderman James and McMahon serving as tellers. It resulted in the unanimous re-election of these three gentieman, George F. Wright appearcd before the council to get permission of the city to use some hose, and get some of the men to help in making some tests at the hy- drants, preparatory to giving the citv due notice that the company was able to furnish the fire pret ection agreed under the contract. In the meantime he said in behalf of the company, that the city mi‘i}“, in case of fire, use the hydrants without any cost or ity, until such time as the company was ready to make the tests required by the contract and give the city notice. Ho desired that the council should have a meeting soon to receive the notice of the completion of the contract and the readiness to furnish the fire protection agreed to. It was decided to let the mayor call o meeting, when the water works get ready, instead of setting some particular . Alderman James informed the council that Engineer Williams, of Chicago, would be here on the 10th inst. to give his views on a system of sewerage for Council Bluffs, A resolution was introduced orderiu; the filling of Ninth street, from Thi avenue to Fifth avenue, up to grade. On motion it was decided that Peter Mottaz be temporarily placed in charge of the city buildings until the council could make definite arrangements, the pa% to be $2 a day. he city solicitor was instructed to draw an ordinance in regard to the jani- torship and jailership of the new city prison. The marshal was instructed to get the new city jail in readiness atonce for k.npinlg prisoners there, and for having the police headquarters there, and the urchasing committee was instructed to uy necessary blankets and stores, 'he council then adjourned to meet at the call of the mayor.

The Waterworks Qompany Try For Themselves the Power of Water, Yesterday afternoon the waterworks company made a test of the works, it be- ing more for their own satisfaction than for the city, this test being a preparatory one to notifying the city that they wera ready to submit to tho tests called for in the contract. These formal tests will take place at a later date, inthe presence of the council and officials. G, W, Bouton, the engineer of the Knowles pump works, is in the city, and the tests were under his direction, A hose was attached to a hydrant on the high school hill, and & stream of water was thrown almost up to the top of the tower of the building itself. a great excess over the fifty feet height called for in the contract. was @& wolid stream, too, of over an inch in diameter, To a hydrant on Bryant street two lines of hose were attached and two strong streams thrown to a great height. Several other streams were thrown, and in every case nrpeurnd more than satisfactory. This will surprise no one, for as the building of the water works has progressed there has been proof manifest laid before the eyes of citizons daily that nothing was being done shabbily, but every bit of the work has appeared to be very thorough, so that the tests aro just what the people oxpected, A NEW BOARD. The Connty Supervisors Meet at the Conrt Honse and Organize. William Mynster Chosen as County Attorney. The county board of supervisors mot wood, S. B, Frum, 8. G. Underwood, A. C. Graham, and Henry Rishton. The Iast two named being new members, sub- scribed to and took the oath of office. The board proceeded to the election of a chairman, 8. G. Underwood being chosen unanimously. W. A. Mynster was elected county at- torney and his salary fixed at $400 for civil practice and $200 for criminal prac- tico, On motion it was resolved that E. L. Shugart and W, C. James be requested to represent the board of supervisors in the meeting called at Des Moines on the 10th inst., in relation to roads. The bond of John Bennett for the office of county treasurer, in the penal sum of $80,000, was approved by the board; also the bond of T. A, Kinkland, county auditor, in the sum of $10,000; Theodore Guittar, as sheriff, $10,000. The bonds of several justices of the peace were also approved, and the rest of the day’s session was devoted to the con- sideration of various matters concerning the assessment of personal property. —— ABOUT PRISONERS, How the Crooks Sent from Council Bluffs were Received at Fort Madison. Sheriff Guittar has returned from his third trip to Fort Madison since the dis- trict court closed its term. He has taken to the penitentiary on these trips 11 convicts, and has seen them safely housed within its walls, Young Lloyd, the forger, was putinto the hospital, his health being bad. Kas- son, who has a short term, four months, is given work in cleaning up and caring for the cells, Loringer was given a hearty welcome, as the first tailor who has come to the penitentiary for years past, and was given work in the tailor shop, the head man of which has had to break green men in Theretofore. He was glad indeed to %et hold of a rcgulardjourneynmn. J. M. Smith, who robped a man of $85 at a ho- tel, was put at work making wheelbar- rows. J. B, Smith, the mule thief, and Uhler, the horse thief, were set at work polishing forks. Wm, Farnsworth, the Pacific house darkey who stole Jake Ro- ger's roll of greenbacks, was lionized as an old inmate, who funder the name of Jackson had served one term before, and who had before that served a term in Joliet. This will be rather shocking news to those who had so much confi- dence in him, and who by their importu- nitios got him off with a sentence of onl six months Murphy and C. J. Smith wero set at work in the chair factory, and O'Brien was given menial work in the same de- partment. Wilson, who was caught by the women while going through Far- man’s house, proves to be a fellow by the name of Hawkins, who served time with young Kasson in the reform school some years ago. He was recognized by a pass- enger on the train, and when he found that the sheriff knew his right name, Wilson became very indignant at Kasson, whom he thought had given him away. While at Fort Madison Sheriff Guittar saw Polk Wells, who presented him with a whip, which the sheriff brought home with him. It was of Polk Wells’ own handiwork. He is not allowed to go out of his cell except once a week, when he walks to the bath-tub, a short dis- tance away, He sits in his narrow cell day after day, with not room enough hardly to take two steps, and his only chance to walk is when he takes his bath, which gives him about a hundred feet of exercise, once a week in summer, and once in two weeks in winter. " LD GOLD How it Has Been Kept by Retiring Coroner Faul Yesterday Coroner Faul retired from office, to make room for his successor, D, M. Connell, In turning over the effeets of the office to the county board he called attention to the fact that in October, 1879, over four years ago, a Frenchman, a stranger in the city, named Krancows Grig, died suddenly at the transfer, where he was stopping over night, having come in from the west. The old Frenchman .| the night before refused to eat any sup- per, because, as he claimed, he had no money. During the night he was taken ill and in the morning was found dead in his bed. On holding an inquest, about 8500 in gold was found on his person. After Yayinfi the expenses $4Gb im gold was loft, and as no heirs or claimants have ever appeared, Coroner Faul has held the money ever since, and keptit hid from thieves, tfirelm‘ving the identic- al gold found on the dead man, and yes- terday he laid the samo gold on the Juk of the county auditor and took his re- ceipt for the same. The board ordered it placed in the poor fund subject to the order of the heirs, if they shall e.er ap- pear. s George H. Licker, who who bas been traveling for Dugquette, Guibert & Co., has now taken up his grip for Somers & Co., of 8L, Joe. Charles B, Cones, of Indianapolis, who is interested In & large overall manufactory there, is in the city and making his head: quarters at the Ogden.
