Roon was fined §8, while Pile had his hearing set later. Yesterday merning Tom Anderson and Charles St. Clair, two boys, were before Judge Aylesworth on a charge of stealing two pairs of shoes from Eisoman, Rodda & Co.’s store.

Clais The latter pleaded guilty and was fined $100 and coests, which will give him quite a resting spell in the city jail, Blank ballots will be handed each per- son on entering the roller skating rink this evening. Those wishing to vote for either of the lady contestants for the gold watch, will write the name of their choice on this ballot, and put in the hat which will be passed around after the contest.

Scott, of North Main street, was yesterday down on South Eighth street, near the Rock Island de- pot, hunting for a servant, when she neard a woman cry for help. Shein- quired what the trouble was, and was told that a young girl who seemed appar- ently about 17 years of age was sick in the house, and her mothsr thought she had taken poison, as her daughter and her lover had a falliug out on Saturday last. The young man had not shown up Sunday, and the girl complained of being mick. She was taken with spasms, and when Mrs. Scott got there seemed to be ina very critical condition. Mas. Scott came home, and on her way stopped into Coroner Connell’s and told him the story. Ho immediately repaired to South Eighth street, but could not find the house where the girl was said to have died, and up to late last evening nothing more could be learned, Mrs, Scott claims she saw the girl di ng for Polo, Two polo clubs have been organized here, and will soon be uniformed and at work, One club consists of R.

Another @irl Seeks Eternity by the Strychnize Route, An Unfortunate Marriage and an Unholy Love. Suicides seldom come singly. Yestor day another was added to the sad record, it being a young woman known as Mary She w Washington avenue ne Inez Stowart, living with her mother , on Madison street, and yesterday morning left home, so her mother told the Brr man, to go up on the street on some er- rand. On the way she met an acquaint. ance, to whom sho said she was going af ter some medicine for her mother, and would stop to see her friend on her way back. She did not stop, roturn home laid , however, but on her »ywn on the bed. She had been complaining early in the morn- ing that sho was ill, and could eat nc breakfast. Soon after she had laid down on the bed, she was found to be in great agony, and it was then learned that she had taken poison. Dr. Pangle, Dr. Gordon and Dr. Studerly wero called in one after another, but it was too late for any medical nssistance, and the girl soon died. There was no note left to explain the girl's motives, and as far as could be learned she did not communicato her doadly intention to any one. In her dying struggles she called for “Frank,” and said she wanted to sce him, and it was aftorwards learned that this was a young man with whom she had been keeping company. The poor mother was almost broken- hearted, and it was only between sobs and hysterical gasps that she could give any information about the affair. She said that her daughter was married about four years ago to William Gunderman, of Brownaville, Neb. Mrs. Christy had never seen him, and did not know much about him. Last fall her daughter came home, and said she was expecting her husband in a month or 8o, but he never came, and it scoms that they had somo troublo or separation, although for a time after the daughter's return he wrote her very loving letters; and in one said that when he came he would buy her a pony, because ‘‘she had been such a good girl,” This husband never appeared, and the girl went by her maiden name, and had little to say about him. Her mother said she had been talking to her lately about the sort of company sho was keeping, as the girl had been going a good S\mI with a fellow named Frank Stemler, who had the reputation of being a gambler. The mother said the two rings, ono a diamond ring, which the girl had on, belonged to him. She had talked to the girl about her behavior, but the girl roplied that she was not so bad as folks thought she was. Her mother told her she must not act so then, for as she did folks couldn’t help belioving her to be bad. The girl's father and mother seem to have had difficulty too, and had sepa- rated, the mother being here and the father, John C. Stewart, being now at Hayes City, Kansas. It appears also that the man whom the girl married several years ago has left Brownsville, Neb., and now lives in Paola, Ka. Both were informed by telegraph of the girls sad ending of her own life. The body was viewed by the jury, F. B. Patton, E. Sears and J. J. Hathaway, and an inquest was held yes- terday at 2 p, m. in Coroner Connell’s. Frank Stemlor was the first witness and said he had boen acquainted with Mary Inez Stewart going on four years; last saw her about 9:30 Sunday night, at the house, where she lived o Washington avenue; did not know when she was mar ried; have been on friendly terms; she said nothing which weuld lead him to believe she had any intention of suicid- ing. She had several times spoken to him of the hard treatment received at the hands of her mother and step-father, Jim Christy; showed him a lump on the sido of the hoad, and complained Sunday night of her shoulder and remarked that sho wished sho was doad; sho said her pa- rents told_her Sunday nover to enter the house again; she didn't want to go home but to a lady friend’s on Avenue A; he advised her to go home and left her about 9:30; she was admitted to the house by her mother., We never had any trouble and no quarcel Sunday night, Otis Haynes being sworn, said, I resideat 614 Washington avenue, am canvassing for names for new directory. Was at Mrs, Christy's about 10 a. m. to-day. Mrs, C asked me to gofor the doctor, said it was another case of strychnine poisoning and she had had one daughter already die from the same cause. Dr. Gordon sworn, testified. 1 did not treat the case; was called in between 10 and 11 a, m., found Dr. Studerley and Mr, Spangle working with her. She had the appearance of the chronic spasms are' buying now and | the hous peculiar to strychnine poisoning, 1 didn't examine her, At this point of the inquest Mrs, F. Christy, the girl's mother, came in weeping and after being sworn said that Mary 1. Stewart was her daughter and had’ resided here since August last and was 19 years of age. She came homo Sunday night at 9:30 o'clock. She was married she believed to Wm. Gunderman, son & Rev. Mr, Gunder- men of Michigan and he resides in Kan- 888 NOW, Her present husband is not Mary's father, Her advice has been to stay home and keep good company as she knew Mary had not been doing She refered to the women acquaintances only. Has known her step-father to strike her es- Fgcillly last Saturday when Mary dared him to do so. This occurred in the pres- ence of Mr. Hayes. She came home with Frank Stemler, who then left, and arose Monday morning about 8 o'closk—left bout 16 minutes and return- ing went in back room, sat down, com- plained of feeling bad, seemed gloomy and despondent, called her mother and said ghe'd taken poison; she was tren bling; Mary ran to the cupboard for ogar and salt and then said she had tak- en strychnine, she ran out in the yard, fell, and was brought in, said she wanted Frank and if her mother loved her for God's sake do something for her; she did not tell her mother when she took the poison, Tho next witness was Frank Empie, who said he was & drug clerk for his brother; that the deceased came into the stare about 9 &, m.; wanted THE DAILY BEE-+COUNCIL BLUFFS, TUESDAY, rats.

Mavyvers, lowa,March 14, as express train No. 6 on the C Last even- ing & (. R, R, was nearing this place chambor of the air brake gearing of the r train burst, which caused the train to como to a dead stop, and while in this fix the furth section of freight train No. 12, which was following close on to No, 6, came up and was duly signaled and came to a stop when the fifth section of No0.12 eame in sight, but was too close to got the signal in time to stop, went crashing through the caboose of fourth section of No. 12, mashing it into kind- number ain, En- ling wood, and wrecking qui of freight cars in the forward t 12 is a total wreck, as is the e's train. No lives giue Nc balance of fifth twel wero lost nor was anybody hurt very soriously. No. £ mail and express was laid out ®o it did not reach this place at all last night, but made her trip by going around the horn as the boys say. Fourth twelve was heavily laden with grain and I understand that fifth twelve consisted of only an_engine and caboose, which were both demolished. ; The weather here to-day is very balmy and spring like, although there ia quite a “gkift” of snow on the ground from the offects of yesterday's storm. It seems that every other day we hayo a slice of the North Pole switching around these ““diggins” and then we are greeted with a shimmer of a southern sun. In fact oung and gentle spring and old and {lm\ry winter seem to be playing hideand sook theso days with a presistence of a pack of school children. 1 hope that fair and beautiful maiden will succeed in capturing the cold hearted rascal and banish him for good. The Central House in this city has changed hands, L. P. Anderson rotiring and 8. French taking charge of the houae. The Baptist, Methodist and Presby- terian people have been holding exten- sive protracted meetings here the past winter and have made many converts to their respective faiths. Some few of our citizens don't take kindly to the turn the legislature has given to the whisky question. While a maj- ority of our best citizons are jubilant thereat, and as the law gives into offoct on the fourth of July mext you can look out for a big time on that day, for I predict that the whisky busi- ness will wind up here with a roaring big drunk, while the prohibitionists will hold a rousing ratification meeting. The sentence of Watson, the Shelly murderer, does not fully satisfy a great many people here. They seem to think the verdict should have included a brief mention in regard to a hempen necktie, for hamging is really too good for such a cold-hearted wretch., Business of all kinds is rather dull and depressed here now, but if Old Boreas will let up and spring come to stay, things | - will liven up and_ everybody will bo hap- py.
