BLOCKS OF GRANITE. and Avenue and North Main to Have Oedar Blooks. The Conncil Decides to Pave Main and Broaiway Witk Them, 0akl The Contracts Let. An adjourned meeting of the city coun- cil wag held yesterday afternoon, a full board present and the mayor presiding. A petition was prosented signed by citizens, asking that in advertising for sidewalks on Main street, Egyptian ce- ment as well as hard-burned brick bo named, so that bids could be reccived on both. Placed on file. Tho report of the moeting of Main street property owners at tae court house Tuesday evening, to consider the kind of paving they desired, was presented and read. Each property owner at that meeting voted according to the number of feet owned, and for the kind of paving he preferred. The result of this ballot May 27th, 28th and 20th. To-morrow, between 2 and 6, p. m., is the last chance ladies will have of vis- iting the museum of anatomy. We noticed some very elegant panta- loon patterns at Smith & Tollers' yester- day that had just arrived from the east. “Tripping on the light fantastic roller skate” is the way the socioty reporter puts it now. It's more than a *‘trip” for a new beginner. The wood and hay market will here- after be located on Bryant street, be- tween the city jail and city hall. This space is being filled now for that pur- pose. This spring promises to be of the boom wos 4,470 feet in favor of granite pave- ment and 2,761 in favor of wood. A resolution was also passed at this meeting, urging the city council to let the contract for the paving of Main street at once, and that the city notify the water works company to lay its pipes from the mains to the curbing at once, before the paving was done,and also that the gas company be likewise notified. The minutes of the meeting were placed on file, An expression of the property owners k of North Main street and Oakland ave- nue was also presented, read and placed on file, This expression was in favor of paving North Main street and Oakland avenue with cedar blocks.

The|il8® day when the council would make firm of C. R. Allen & Co. have published maps for years, and the addition of this firm to Council Bluffs' industries is a welcome one. Offices will soon be opened here by them, and this city will be their headquarters. The Bulletin, in writine up the bache- lors of Denison, gives H. N. McGrew, the old Council Bluffs newspaper man, the following recommend: ‘‘Has a num- ber of good qualities, among which is $126 overcoat. Has lots of enterprise and intends to get rich. Is a boss insur- ance agent, a good writer and an excel- lent printer. Matrimonial applications must be sent in early, collect on delivery, and made in good faith.” s There was a jury called yesterday for the apening of the monthly term in the superiur court, but, as usual, there was no use for them, and they were excused. The case of Monan va. Probstle was on trial yesterday, it being an appeal. The plaintiff claims that he was manufagtur- ing stone in a basement, and by Probstle moving the building the stone was in- jured before they were fully dried or hardened, and that the damage was $75. The clock in the Bloomer school build- ing has been a little “‘off” for a fow days —a half hour or so. Too much sleet and frost is said to Le the cause. If it don't brace up it will have to be laid along on the shelf with the present fire alarm, for an unreliable clock, like an unreliable alarm, is worse than none. The board of education is said to be unwilling to pay what it is thought to be worth for a man to look after the clock and see that it is kept in ordor. Alderman Keating has made a very asensible report to the council in favor of doing away with tho present fire alarm system until the city can secure a botter the assessments, thus giving the parties a chance to have a hearing, the failure of which choice seems to have caused the trouble to Des Moines and Davenport. After some dissussion the amendatory ordinance was passed. Alderman Siedentopf offered a resolu- tion that Main street from Broadway to Sixteenth avenue be paved with granite blecks, in accordance with the action of the meeting of the vroperty owners. A comparison of the bids in for gran- ite block, showed that of Regan Bros. & McGorick to be the lowest, it being $3.48 a square yard, while the highost bid in was $4 10. This $3.48 includes a foundation of six inches of broken rock, then two inches of sand, and upon this blocks of Sioux Falls granite from six to eight inches in thickness, the contractors to do all the necessary excavating and filling not to exceed ten inches, and to receive for anything in excess of ten inches twenty-live cents a cubioc yard, che specifications being the same as those of the Omaha contract. The price named is ;subject to a discount of five per cent for cash paid on completion of the work. Alderman Siedentopf offered a resolu- tion instructing the making of a contract with Regan Bros. & McGorick, of Des Moines, for the paving of Main street from Broodway o Sixteenth avenue. Adopted by a unanimous vote. 0. R, Scott read a resolution that north Main street, Washington avenue, and Oaklank avenue be paved with cedar blocks, There arose some objections about including Washington avenue with- out giving the property owners some notice, although most of them scemed in favor of the improvement, The resolu- tion was lost, Alderman Siedentopf then presented a resolution for paving north Main street and Oakland avenue with white cedar blocks, the contract to be let to J.B. Smith & Co., of Chicago, at $1.68 a square yard, five cents off for cash. Alderman Seidentopf then presented a resolution notifying property owners on north Main street from the bridge to Washington avenue, and then property owners on Washington avenue to Oakland avenue to pave with that the contract be let to Regan Bros. & McGorick, Alderman James moved to amend by making granite pavement on Broadway from gtuhmnn to Seventh street. The amendment was lost, The original mo- tion providing for the paving of the en- tire longth of Broadway, from Stutsman streot to Twolfth street, with granite was then carried, and the contract let to Re- gan Bros, & McGorick at the same price as Main street. Carried unanimously. A resolution was presented that certain property owners on Oakland avenue be notified to fill up their low lots so that water wo'd not stagnate or soak through and undermine the paving. Carried. The council then adjourned. SILVER CITY'S SENSATION. How the Parties to n Wedding Failed to Conmect, Corrospondence of Tie Bex, Siver Ciry, Ia, January 30, —An. other illustration of the adage, ‘‘The course of true love never runs smooth,” occurred here to-day. A young man re- siding in this vicinity was smitten with one of Silver City's fair daughters. For- tune smiled, and the wedding day was fixed, Then trouble commenced. The bride went to Illinois on a final visit to friends. The groom not being posted in the law relating to such matters, and thinking that a license was legsl tender anywhere and at any time, procured a license at Council Bluffs, thinking it would be handy to have in the family. But he reckoned without the “Bee.” The argus-eyed reporter of Trx Bek pub- lished the fact of his procuring the li- cense, To say the least the people here were astonished, and the groom found that his license would not keep. It ex- ired at 12 m. to-d he sent post for the bride, and arranged to have a minister ready at Council ~ Bluffs to tie the knot. The groom’s parents arranged to go up on the early freight, but the train failed to come. 'The bride’s parents pre- pared to go on the ‘‘cannon-ball” train, ut it was behind and did not stop here. The bride was expected on the Chicago oxpress over the H. & 8. railroad, and the groom went to Shenandoah to meet her, but the Chicago express failed to connect. Minister in Council Bluffe paronts in Silver City, groom in Shen- andoah and bride somewhere between Chicago and Shenandoah. Tableau. The evidence against T. W. Watson is accumulating, There is very little doubt of his guilt in this neighborhood, where he worked all summer, The talk of lynching has subsided.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, How is Council Bluffs to be Affected by Recent Decisions? The decisions in the Davenport and Des Moines cases in regard to special as- seesments renews the many queries as to low Council Bluffs will stand in case of litigation. The substance of these de- cigions is to the effect that tho city should notify the property-owners that on a certain day they would make special assessments, and notify them to be pres- ent, and show reason why the assessment should not be fixed; in other words the property owners must be given a day in court, or a chance to be heard before the assessment is finally settled upon. The failure to thus notify proved a defect. While these decisions were on curbing, and do not directly pass upon the quest tion of the filling of streets, yet as this city has been doing so much street filling and charging it up to the abutting property, there seem to bo grave doubts about the legality of this assessment. Some of the attorneys claim that the notice to property owners to do the filling within ninety days is sufficient, but oth- era think not. In view of the fact that heavy special assessments will soon be made for paving the council has thought it wise to hedge at last and protect the city if possible, An amendatory ordinance was passed yesterday, but still the doubt rests over | the future the doubt seems not al-| together removed by this amend- atory ordinance providing for the and mere roliablo one.

If the old ordinance is void, as it appears from the late decision, how can it be made good by amending? If the old ordinance is dead can it be brought to life b amending it 7 That is a question whio{ still puzzles the heads of somo of the attorneys, The city council seems to go over these important measures hastily and clumsily. ' In yesterday’s session, im- portant measures were passed with no city attorney present to advise or sug- geat. There was other good legal talent present, plenty of it, but still it did not seem to have the official stamp. TIn addition to the regular city attorney, the council lately retaned one of the strong- est law firms in the city, yet neither of them were present, To depend on what advice may be gained nccidentally by some attorney, however good, who chooses to be in at- tendance at a council meeting on other business, and who has had no time nor pay for looking up the questions, scems rather a carelegs way to handle important matters. The city attorney is not to blame so much, for he is sometimes nocessarily absent, and when here he is not always called upon for an opinion or given time to hunt up & question, nor is his advice always followed. e ——— The Pacific houso register contained the names of *Unele Tom’s Cabin” combination, Ars, Dr, Montgomery is on the sick list.
