The firemen filled the Bloomer school cistern yesterday afternoon, drawing the water from the hydrant through a hose. Thieves made a raid on Bell & Hall's grocery store Saturday night, but con- tented themselves with taking a few ci- gars, Oughtn't Mayor Bowman to waste some more paper in ordering thieves and vagrants to leave the city? The first one didn't take. There are revival meetings in progress at the Baptist church, the pastor being assisted by Rev. A. Amburn, of Dakota. There has already been one convert and several have risen for prayera, Bill Williams was brought before Jus- tice Abbott yesterday on a charge of threatening Paul Siebolt, and pulling a gun on him. The case was continued till the 24th, Williams giving bail. James H. Craigmile, baggago master of the bridge division of the Union Pacific railway, will, on the 17th inst., receive a handsome present from Judge Abbott, in the person of his daughter, Miss Myra. Cards are out for this grand gift. R. Kennedy, a son-inlaw of Mr. Gerspacher, died yesterday, after a pro- longed illness, consumption being the cause. Ho has lived here for several years, and has been in the employ of Stuart Bros., in the packing business. He leaves a wife, but no children, The new safe at the city jail was yes- torday put in use as a depository for the keys of the cells. The safe locked up all right, but it was the unlocking that troubled the keeper. He could not catch the combination, and the keys were locked up so safely that there was no show for letting out any prisoners, A complaint has been filed in Justice Abbott's court, charging John Suit with assaulting John Ward, an old man of about eighty, who is the fifer for the G. A. R. boys. Buit has not been ar- rested. The trouble arose from a dis- pute about 50 cents, but this does not seem any justification for a man of thirty togivesoold aman as Ward a black eye. The Connor brothers, William and James, are among the latest victims of sneak thieves Their rooms at Mr. Dunn's on Madison street, were ran- sacked and an overcoat, one suit of clothes and a coat and vest were taken, No trace of plunder or plunderers is yet ascertained to a certainty, though sus- picion points to a young man who has suddenly left the city. The board of trade meeting last night ‘was not largely attended, and the annual election of officers was postdoned until a future meeting. The president read a telegram from Congressman Pusey, stat- ing that he had introduced a bill for a combined railroad and wagon bridge, between Council Bluffs and Omaha, The board directed its president to reply that they favored a wagon bridge, but not a railway bridge, Deputy Sheriff Chatterbuck started last evening for Anita, after a child who, as is claimed, was kidnapped by a man named Smith. The ohild is a grand- daughter of Mr. K. Hains, who lives near Park’s mills, and Smith at the time of taking the child lived not far from him. Smith took the child only fora brief season, but it seems pulled up stakes, moved away, taking the child with him and not letting their where- abouts be known. The girl is about 11 years of age now, and her whereabouts has just been discovered after nearly a year’s search, A farmer named L. Sievers found in the road in Kog Orsek $47 in silver, a money drawer, and an arctic overshoo, The money and drawer has boen identi- fied as & part of the plunder taken at Macedonia by the safe blowers and burglars, Tho arstic overshoe is a mate o that one found near this city, where the thieves left the stolen team and the broken buggy. It appears that thoy must have driven at a reckless rate, and that they met with some tip-over or - other mishap in Keg Croek, spilling some of the money out of the buggy, ————— PERSONAL, u;t O, D.

The Alflarmm(}athcr fo Listen to @ Talk on Paviog. The Water Works to be Tested Next Thursday. Other Doings. A spocial moeting of the city council was held yesterday afternoon, at which the mayor and all the menibers, except Alderman McMahon, were present. The water-works company gave through a written communication official notification that the works were com- ploted, and the company ready to make the test required by the contract, and that the company claimed the date of the instrument, January 10, as that from which the water rental for the 200 hydrants already placed would commence to be charged. The notification was re- ferred to a committee consisting of Alder- men Keating, Eicher and Siedentopf to report at the next meeting, or at a spe- cial meeting to be called if necessary. George F. Wright, in behalf of the company, desired to have the committee decide on an early date for in- specting the works and having the tests made, as the company desired to make the tests while Mr. Bolton, the en- gineer of the Knowles pumping works, was in the city. Alderman James oxpressed it as his belief that it was a poor time of year to test pipes, with four feet of frost. The CALLED INTO COURT. Blue Monday fnr‘ Some of Those Who Felt the Grip of the Police, The Man who Made Bricks for the Jail Has to Occupy it Himself. Yesterday moraing Miles Mullen was brought before the bar of the superior court on the charge of being drunk. He simply pleaded guilty, and was fined €7.60. Not being able to pay he went back to jail. Mullen is the father of the four destitute children found in a room on Broadway Saturday afternoon, and the husband of the profligate who has gone to Omaha, dressed in finery and feathers, to continue a life of shame, while her children are left here to starve. Mullen has a history. He was arrested several years ago for going through a foed storo, and while the examination waa in progress before 'Squire Morse, a circus went along Broadway, and at the sound of the music the officers rushed to the window, out of curiosity, while Mul- len slyly stole down the stairs and made hin escape. He kept away until last, spring, when he re- turned, and was immediately rearrested, tried and sent to the peni- tentiary for a short term and has just been released. His excuse for his pres- ent condition is that on getting out he had neither money or friends and found that his wife was running about with contract ought to have been finished last summer, when the tests would be more satisfactory. In reply, Mr. Wright said that all the company wanted was that the council would do something definite—éither make the tests, or accept the works, or reject them, orin fact take some definite action by which the company would be informed what the council would do. Alderman Eicher moved that the test be made next Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Alderman James then expressed a fear that the water scattered about in cold weather, and freezing would prove an objection to citizens. r. Wright stated thatthe conditionsof the tests were as already given in Tue Bz, Alderman Wood thought that if he was one of the company, he would prefer summer time for testing pipes. Thewin- ter season was against the company. Some further talk was indulgedin, and then carried, fixing next Thursday as the day, the time to be 1 o'clock p. m., the council first to visit the works at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, Mayor Bowman suggested that as there were to be six places tested at once, each alderman should select two or three citizens,and thus make six commit- tees, #o that each could roport, thus cev- ering the six points at once. Alderman Wood presented a resolution instructihg the city attorney to bringsuit at once against all parties who were run- ning billiard and pool tables without a license, the city clerk to furnish the city attorney the names of such delinquents. A map showing the first survey of Stutsman’s addition was laid before the council, with a ploposition from Dayid Tosterimn, who made the survey, to sell it to the county, the supervisors consenting to buy it if "the city would pay one-half. Mr. Barber appeared before the coun- cil to give them some information in re- gard to paving. He spent some time in narrating the history of the paving in which he is interested, explaining its structure and its advantages, and answer- ing questions put to him by the various members. Mr. Barber showed himself a flwing speaker, and an able advocate or his pet tem of paving. A communication was read from Engi- neer Williams, of Chicago, to Alderman James, asking that certain surveys be made for a system of sewage. Referred to committee on sewage and city engineer. By resolution Ninth street was ordered up to grade between Twelfth and Fif- teenth avenues, On motion of Alderman Siedentopf the contracts awarded to J, S. Martin for laying sidewalks and that to J. J. Brown, for filling Fifth avenue, were cancelled and the clerk ordered to read- vertise for bids to do the work. Mayor Bowman made a report of the recent convention at Des Moines. He stated that among other things learned while there was the fact that the ' city could recover from the county for money expended in caring for small pox cases. The mayor -uggentod that in view of the cases al- ready decided by the courts there was no doubt about the possibility of recovering from the county, and that the finance committee should make out a bill and prosent to the county board. The com- mittee was accordingly so instructed, e ——— Private lessons on china given by S, D. Rehse. Studio No, 12 N.

The flames were first dis- covered by the little daughter as they were breaking through the ceiling, and the smaller children, who were still in bed up stairs, were rescued in a hurry, The fire lads were soon on hand and hose was attached to the hydrant on Madison stroct and two streams thrown on the burning building. The streams did good service, although the engineer of the water works not being notified of the fire, the pressure was not nn..i Thabl.u&alildi:lxg was ‘; ng--wry frame and was lamag roof beij all burned off, the by the house were saved, The cause of the fire is supposed to be a defective flue, e — The Home Laundry makes a specialt; :l :nwlnaamworli &;fisgu:hnmur“ ufil’- action, co i Resin, llos outh Main street.

It seems strange that under the present civilization a man can get plenty of whisky and no bread, but such seems to be the case, The children have been taken in charge of the Home ~¢ the Friendless, where they will be well cared for until other good homes are found for them. This is especially a God send to the oldest girl, for it ap- pears that her mother had already taken her to Omaha with the intention of hav- ing her enter a house of ill fame with her. The girl, who is still but a child, has been saved just in time, and it is such practical work as this that awakens interest in and secures ready support for the Home among all noble-hearted viti- zons, THE MAKER OF THE BENCHES. Matt Belgam was brought to the front on a charge of being drunk. He denied the charge, but after several witnesses had been been brought in, concluded to lead guilty and stand the consequences. hile in jail he had packed up one of the loose benches or bunks and had in his wrath broken it, and had also pounded a hole in the cement floor. He promised to make good this damage and to repair the bench himself. He knew how, he said, for he was the one who made them for the new jail in the firat place. The man seemed to think that in spite of all the evidence against him he had not been treated right. He claimed that he was not feeling well and had only taken three glasses of beer. Having occasion to step into an alley near a house on Upper Broadway, he was_suddenly assaulted by the man of the house, who objected to his creating a nuisance. The assault he said made him mad, and he talked loud, but that was all. The judge ave him the day to repair the amage at the jail, promising to fix the fine this morning, Zafter seeing how well - Wholesale Shoe Dressing, ¢ Heaton Bu As we buy above goods of Manu promptly attended to.

He was accord- ingly discharged.
