THE DAILY BEE-- COUNCIL BLUFFS, WEDNESDAY, shall be able to throw two streams at onoe from the highest hydrant, fifty feet in the air. There ia no doubt but that these tests can be more than met, and then the city will doubtless acknowledge the validity of the contract, The com- any has, by the judgement of all who Ennw about the works, put in better works and expended more money than THE DAILY EEE. i OOUNGII.

Miss Sadie Kelley, who has been for some time with the family of A, F' Rice, oon Bancroft street, died last evening af- ter a few days’ illness. Will Council Bluffs get the Soldiers home, to be located somewhere west of the Mississippi? It is to be hoped so and a break should be made to get it. To-morrow evening the officers of Oouncil Bluffs lodge No. 49, . 0. 0. F., are to be installed by District Deputy J. M. Matthews. All members of the or- der and their ladies are cordially invited to attend. The young ladies who gave the leap year ball in Shugart’s block, find that they have a surplus of $7 in the box, after paying expenses. It is probable that it will be turned ‘over to the Home of the Friendless. The adjourned annual meeting of the board of trade is to be held next Monday evening, when officers will be elected and other important business transacted. The members should make no other en- gagements for that evening, The Second Spiritual society will hold a freo circle this evening at 7 o'clock in their rooms in McCall & Wright's block, North Main street, K stairs, All are invited, and those wishing to communi- cate with spirits especially so. At an early hour Friday morning Ben- nett's hall in Shenandoah caught fire from a defective flue and the students who oceupy it had v get out in haste. Luckily all escaped without injury. The damage to the hall was about 250. The recent Catholic fair netted §1,- 198. This was remarkably well consid- ering the cold weather, preventing many from uomm% in from the country, and the hall itself being 8o chilly that there was little enjoyment in staying long. The road petitioned for by J. Doyle and others for Norwalk township, in this county, has been decided by the board of supervisors i favor of the petitioners, The damages will be adjusted by Doyle & Driscoll. The 15 cent apple trees will probably cease to bring good fruit. The following have bsen elected as officers of the Baptist Sunday school for the ensuing year: C. A. Loucks,superin- tendent; W. G. Gorman, assistant; Ellon Miller, secretary; Pet Booth, treasurer; E. W. Cole, librarian, and Z. Brooks, as- sistant. There was a close call for a fire yester- day, a_blaze getting well under wuy in the woodshéd of a house ocoupied by Mr Cook, who is connected with Smith & Crittenden. The cause of the blaze is unknown and the bucket brigade put it out by prompt work, ‘Wm, Wright, the old und simple mind- ed negro,arrested forstoaling a few lumpa of coal, was yesterday told to go and sin no more, Judge Aylesworth concluding coal weights didn’t hold out as a usual . thing, anyway, andcoal men ought, there- fore not to be too particul ‘The call for the annual meeting of the stockholders of the driving park associa- tion was responded to by a number yes- terday, but as there were prominentones absent, it was decided to postpone the business until next Saturday evening. ‘The business, especially that of election ‘of officers, needs to be’ transacted calmly and wisely, and not in a hurry, as most of the success of the enterprise depends upon how it is manned, di got Attorney Sears to hunt up his case. thought of since, be given a hearing to-day. change their habits, have a round sum to pay for careleasness in arresting and de- taining men.

MERITORIOUS MUSIC. lly Meets the Expectations of Friends, Last evening there was a lnrge audience gathered at Dohany’s hall to greet Miss Neally Stevens, who had granted the re- quest made by her Council Bluffs friends and admirers to favor them with a piano recital before her departure for the east, where she is to join Theodore Thomas’ orchestra, It was a difficult audience to satisfy in many respects, Many had heard Miss Stevens before her extended studies in Europe, and, charmed with her playing then, had wonderfully high expectations of what she must be now, in view of the great improvement she must have made, It was no easy task to meet the expectajions of those whom the young artist above all others, would not disappoint. Her appearance was greeted with an J:fhule, which must have made her feel t the sympathies and best wishes of the auditors were with her, and the ap- plause was no less hearty at the close of each rendition, Her old friends, comparing the re- membrance of other days with the per- formance of last night, expressed them- selves as noting a wonderful change, there being perhaps no more accuracy, but a mplete absence of any trace of mere mee anical mxdmom, Miss Stevens seeming “‘at home" not merely with the keyboard but with the compositions, so that she rendered them with soul and feeling, which inspired and thrilled where mechanical work, however ski ful and accurate, can only be admired.

THE CITY'S MOVE The O1d 8hell at Last Abandoned and the New Jail Occupied, Yesterday the old city building on Broadway, which has been so long a cause of disgrace to so live a city, and the constant theme for jokers and paragraph- ors, when news was dull, was abandoned, and completely turned over to the rats and vermin who have so long disputed possession with the blue-coats and drunks. The work of demolition commenced by the tearing away of the brick walls about the vault, so that parts of that can be taken to the new city building, and made into a new vault, which is now needed there greatly—much more in fact than the new safes which were bought recently. The old stove was actually blacked, and removed to the new city jail, and the desks being carted thither also, the police gathered up their clubs and belts, and walked over to the new quarters, The starting of the fires in the new jail and police headquarters was a littlo late. The continued cold weather had frozen up some of the pipes of the firo pressure arrangement located there, and the first work was to get this thawed out. One man who went down below unscrewed a cap, and while at work at the 1ce the water suddenly started and as it burst out it covered him, put out the light of his lantern, and left him groping about in the dark, trying to get the cap screwed on again, while the water kept rising about him, threatening to drown him. He scrambled out as best he could, all drenching and shivering, and running to the nearest key, got the water shut off until he could get matters righted. The water camo up to and flowed over a por- tion of the floor, and for a few minutes there was lively work, but soon all was got straightened about again. The new jail is some improvementover the old one, but still thers are many to be changed before it will be secure, and before it will be really suitable for holding the various classes of prisoners who are to occupy it. There are in the cells stop-cocks, wooden benches, and other things which a crazy drunk will be apt to smash, while for the cunning criminal there are plenty of chances for his outside friends to pass in through the windows a revolver, files, or other needed help for escape. —— T School At the meeting of the board of super- visors yesterday, the auditor presented the report of the school fund showing mortgages and notes on hand, $61,800.61; contracts on hand, $6,430.37; cash on hand, $805.75, and the total $69,044.81, The supervisors spent most of the day in considering road matters. e e— OOMMEROIAL.I OOUNCIL BLUFFS MARKET.
