Additional local on seventh page. Cheap railroad tickets at Bushnell's. Grand Patriarch Treynor has installed the oificers of the Twin Brother encamp- ment and Pottawattamie camp, The testing of the water works and opening of the opera house is glory enough for Council Bluffs to-day. For saLe cnear—A good saloon, well stocked, good fixtures, good location, two pool tables, Charles Leibold, 406 Broadway. Jack Whittaker, for having a row with one Kingsley, has been placed under $250 bonds by Justice Abbott, to keep the peace. A man named Wallace has been arrest- od for assaulting John Marshall. He has had his case continued until the 25th before Justice Abbott. John Suit, who struck old man Wood, wos fined 85 and costs, and placed under $100 bonds to keep the peace. All this from a dispute about fifty cents. Mrs. Weidner, complained of by L. Harris for obtaining goods under false pretenses, has been discharged, the goods ‘being restored to Mrs. Harris. The necessary permit for the matri- monial event to take place this evening has been issued, containg the names of James H. Craigmile wund Mary Almira Abbott. Owing to a private quadrille party to be held this evening in St. Patrick’s Benevolent socioty hall, the usual semi- monthly meeting of the society will not take place. Charles Wilson was arrested yesterday for stealing two bridles from horses standing on the street. His case has been continued, and meanwhile Charles languishes. The marriage of Wiliiam A, Mauer to Miss Margaret Dehany calls forth many congratulations and well wishes, both being 8o well known and having so many friends here. The four condemned cannon donated to the G. A. R. for their cemetery lot here arrived yesterday. They weigh 82,000 pounds, and the freight from New York was $167. * The last monthly report of the Home of the Friendless shows the receipts te have been $209.87 cash and $78.66 mer- chandise, and the expenditures $202.80, leaving a balance of $16.62 in the treas- ury. The fire pressure apparatus now in police headquarters will probably be moved to the engine house, it being thought thatit can be better handled there, by the fire lads, than by the stars of night, Nick Welber, arrested for frequenting @ house of ill-fame, has beon discharged conditional on the place being run more orderly, the character of the house being pretty well established by his woman pleuding guilty, The special revival meetings at the Broadway Methodist church are increas- ing in interest in numbers and in attend- ance. An effort is being made to secure the assistance of Rev. Dr. Webb, of Red Oak, and Rev. J. B. Maxfield, of Omaha, is to help the pastor next week. The board of supervisors continued their session yesterday. They spent half the day in examining bills aud the other half in a visit to the poor farim. To-day they expect to confer with a board of trade committee in regard to the pro- mrd building of a new court house and The friends of temperance in this county are requested to meet at the Y. M.

Heretofore all such witnesses have been paid, and the just- 1oes not knowing that a special order had to be entered by them, of course neglect- ed to do so. Hereafter it will be under- stood, and the order will be entered in future casos, It is rathor hard, however, on those who have lost time and been to expense during the past throe or four months., The board justifies its action by a recent decision of the supreme court, i Mrs, A.

Main st., up stairs, — THE NEW JAIL, Its Faults Beginning Already Show Up. to Tur Bex has already pointed outsome of the defects of the new city jail, and the criticisms made upon it are already being proven to be just. Now the cem. ent flsor is found to be almost as bad as no floor at all. The cement is thin, and can be easily broken through. Already in several places there are such broaks, and the effect of water will soon cause still further damage. The floor is so uneven, too, that in places there are reg- ular basins holding any water there may be. In one of the cells there is justsuch a depression under the water closet, and the filth already accumulating and i It will not be long be- have the same horrible stench as the old ones, unless marked changes are made. A clos spection of the jail, its insecurity and many disadvantages will convince any one that there is need of still further changes in its structure. DENISON DOTS. Accidents at the Rink—A Leap Year Dance — A Olose Guess and Other Interesting Items, The skating rink at Denison seems to be well attended by saints, if it is true that the feet of the ungodly stand on slippery places. There have been a number of falls there recently, two quite serious. Miss Anna Wightman, one of the victims, is now recovering. Another, Mamie Knaul, had her limb so badly injured that she has suffered in- tense pain, and her physician says that while no bones are broken, yet the in- jury is just as bad. The Denison ladies arranged for a leap year dance at the opera house, to take place Wednesday evening, a big supper, a fine bi all needfuls for a good time being provided by them. As an advertising dodge one of the merchants offered a sealskin cap to the one guessing nearest to the actual num- ber of seeds in a pumpkin, which was placed on exhibition uncut. The guesses numbered 5642, and ranged from 20 to 10,000. George Cornwall won the cap by the remarkable guess of 749, the pumpkin on being opened proving to contain just 748 seeds. T. J.

Ho came to this city with a little over $500 in his pncl(el to transact nome busines here, and fell into the com- pany of some of the cippers and sharks Mayor Bowman's gentle proclamation to leavo or be arrested. Getting their vic. tim pretty full of “budge” he was in- geniously steered into a game ina gam- bling Louso on Upper Broadway, and thero he was initiated into a knowledge of “freeze out” or some other game, the leason costing him 8490, When his last cont was gono it was late, and without money enough to buy a bed at & hotel, he hung sround and passsd the time as best he could until the morning hours came, and he could get in communication with friends who relieved his necessitios.

In no_city in the country is there allowed such a free-for- all chance for grabs and gouges. It in high time that the better class of citi- zens, who are already indignant about such daily occurrences should take some action by which such houses should be brought up with a shnr‘) turn, It senms a8 if the gamblors should be pretty well satisfied with being allowed to run with open doors, with signs, with glaring streot lights, and have their tables visited by officials. But now added to all this, some are using cappers, steerers and bad whisky to get money still easier. The city council has made a farce of closing up the gambling houses, The records still bear a resolution passed last summer, the utter ignoring of which should cause the blush to come to their d" to parties in Lincoln, Neb., for “The attorneys speak very highly of Judge Lyman, and unite in predicting for him an eminently satisfactory career Washington township, was so badly nipped by cold while driving home across the prairie, that one foot and one hand C — Attond Casady, Orcutt & French's room for spring Robinson Bros. give away to their cheeks.

The Jury Decide that Michael Wurzer Ought Not to Have Tried to Oross the Track When a Train was Coming, The suit of Michael Wurzer against the Chicago & Northwesiern Railway company fias just been tried in Crawford county. The case originated in Carroll county, and was an action to reccver damages sustained by plaintiff by reason of being run into by a train. The acci- dent occurred in Carroll City in 1882, Wurzer, who is a farmer, was in a wagon with his son-in-law and a boy, and as they came up to the track a train was just pasaing. They waited until the train had passed over the wagon road about eight feet, and then the team was driven onto the track with the intention of crossing. The train stopped and began backing up, so that the cars came upon the team, the horses becoming fright- ened, and as they plunged the wagon was ti(rped over, the occupants thrown out and two of them badly hurt. Wurzer first claimed that the company was negli- gent in not having a sign-board on the crossing, but Judge Loofbourow last fall decided that this complaint was not good, as Wurzer knew there was a train there, and hence needed no sign to warn him. The cause was continued, and now on trial the jury has decided that it was Waurzer's own negligence, that he teek the risk himself, and that the company was not therefore linble for damages.
