Arrest of one of thy ' Suspected Slayers, The news comes from Vy'0odbine that McGonigal who was so myster.'ously and brutally slugged in this city haa died at his home In Woodbine and was btried yesterday. The police have been for some time on the case. There wero fow clues to work upon, the man's condition when found being such that he could not give any information. It is learned, however, that he was seen at a late hour in company with two colored men, Mo- Gonigal had been drinking heavily, and was about to take the two darkies in to troat them, Other information has been gained pointlng to these two colored men are at least knowing more about the affair than has yet come out, and yesterday ofticer O'Brien arres- ted Cuff Johnson on suspicion, it being suppused that he is the one who struck thedeadly blows. MoGonigal was rob- bed of a $20 gold piece, also gold watch and chaln, and if the clues now obtained prove as reliable as they oppear, there will be a network of evidence which will surround the guilty men and bring them to justice. It is understood that one witness is ready to testify that Johnson atruck the blows to his personal knowl- edge. Itis hoped that the guilty party may be caught and punished, for the deed was a most brutal and cowardly one, and one in which there seem no possi- ble extenuating circumstances.

A gentleman who arrived from St. Louis over the Wabash yesterday says that the engine which went through the bridge between Marysville and Stansbury was still in the water, and that passen- gers had to be transferred, the bridge not being in condition for trains. The body of the engineer, Harvey Cornish, was re- covered and taken to Stansbury, where his wife and family lived. Cornish for- merly lived in St. Joe, and was a man of considerable property, : George Chamberlain, the engineer killed in the collision on the Union Pa- ODELL ROLLER MILL.

On tho evening of August Gth Lounisa Hultzman was turned out of home by her father. She wandered about the steets of Harlem all night, At day- break she staggered on tho veranda in front of John W. Funk’s house, and he sooing the shadow of her hat upon the window pane, mistook her for a burglar and fired two shots from a thirty-two calibre ravolver, both of which took of- fect in her head. Bhe was picked up by an officer, who found hor lying in the street quite a distance from Mr, Funk’s house and conveyed to the 99th stroet hospital. One bullet had struck her just bohind the left ear, shattered the skulland took a slanting course, upward through the brain sub- stance, and finally lodged, it is presumed azainst the inner plate of the skuls at the top of the back part of the head. The other ball struck her forohead about two inches above the outer extremity of the left eye, took a nting course down- ward and lodged in the baseof the brain, While attended at the hospital she was for two days in a comatose state. On one occasion her breath and hoart beats stoppde for so long a period that she was believed to be dead, but on the third day, to the surprise of every one, she rallied. Her right side was found to be paraylzed,and l?m had lost the power of speech. Still she continued to im- prove. The manner of her treatment and tho effects which attended it, aro further described: Liquid nourishment was injected into her stomach, but she retained little food. At tho end of ten days her condition rap- idly improved. Her paralysis disappeared about September lst. Her power of speech began to return in about fifteen days after her injury, untilat present there is only a slight impediment in her speech. The external wounds have en- tirely healed. There has been, since her convalescence, no disturbance of mental functiona, as is usual in cases where re- covery has followed brain injury. If any- thing is noticeable that her intellect is brighter and disposition better now than it was before she was injured. This is termed a remarkable case, and the reader will admit that it is so, and one worthy of investigation for the bene- fit of medical science e — Telephoned Opera in Belgium, Under this head we recorded last week the sucressful transmission of instrumen- tal music from Brussels to Antwerp. In- telligence nmow reaches us of an opera played in Brussels being heard by the king and queen of the Belgians at Ostend. Six microphones on the Van Rysselbergho systems had been placed in front of the tootlights, facing the performers. Two similar instruments were also fitted, one on either side of the conduc'or's desk, at the height of the musical instruments in the orchestra; and for future occasions it is determined to add a double microphone in the prompter's box. All these trans- mitters were actuated by a single Faure accumulator placed under the stege with the microphone coils, the latter being all mounted in quantity, and really forming but one and the same transmitting instru- ment. As in the case of the experimenta recorded last week,the circuit was formed by one of the overhead wires of the Bell Telephone company, leading from the central office to the northern termi- nus, where it joined tho state telegraph line to the Ostend station, which was in direct communication with two Bell re- ceiving instruments, fixed in the drawing room of the royal chalet. M. Berlin,en- gineer, who had directed the installation with M. Van Ryaseiberghe, remained at Ostend, while the latter gentleman went backward and forward from the Monnaie theater (the Brussels opera house)'to the telegram oftice at the northern terminus watching how the instruments work- ed, Theso had been placed in the thea- ter during the day by M. Mourion’s men in charge of the foreman, Hobe, The experiment is reported to have again suc- ceeded beyond expectation, and on the following “day M. Van Rysselberghc had the honorof being received by the (Jueen who is known to be an assiduous opera goer as well as an accomplished musician. Her Majesty spoke or having heard per- fectly all the details of the first and last acts of “Faust,” and made some valuable suggestions for a permanent installation. S — Advice to Young St. Nicholus for October, Always bear in mind that it is the muz- zle of a gun that is dangerous; therefore, never allow the muzzle to point toward yourself of any other person. Never put your hand over the' muzzle of a gun, nor_ allow another person to handle your gun while it is loaded. Use a breech-loading gun with re- bounding hammers, A muzzle loading gun is both inconvenient and dangerous to load. Hammerless guns aro beautiful and convenient weapons, but they are not fit for boys to use, especially boys who are just beginning to shoot, 1f you are hunting in company with others, be careful and courteous, always refraining from shooting at birds that are flushed nearer to your companion than you, and do notallow your gun, under any circumstances, to point at, or ortsmen, in the direction of, any human being, Open your gun at the breech and take out both shells before climbing over a fence getting into & wagen going into a house, or handing the gun to a person not used to fire arms, Never érag a gun toward you muzzle foremost. Treat an unloaded gun with the same oare that you would use in a loaded one. *1 did not know it was loaded” has caused many terrible accidents, It is best to thoroughly clean and dry a gun after it has been used all day, and when not In use it should be kept in a woollen or leather case, Never shoot at harmless and worthless birds, “‘just to try your hand” Most sunll birds are protty, some cf them sing sweetly aud nearly all of them are useful as insect destroyers, It is brutal to kill thera for auy other than scientific or art tistic purposes. When out hunting observe everything 0 a8 to remember the minutest details of visible nature, Knowledge thus gathered is invaluable, Boys out hunting together should be were | very cautious in thick covert, as there, | one may be quite near another and not see bim, City Gets Revenue From Sa. Toons- Negotiating Olty Bonds - Asessimont Retorme, Sioux City Journal, One of the conspicuous figures at the Knights of Pithias encampment is Mayor Jnighan, of Council Blufls, The chief oxecuttye Of the Bluffs city is not ashamed of his rank as au official nor his posi tion in a number of scocet societies, as is shown by the huge gold badge which ap pears prominently on the bosom of his dross coat. This badge was presonted to him on his recent return from New York, where he successfully negotiated some 175,000 of Counetl Bluths paving and sower bonds, after other financiers had wiven up the job In despair. The bodyof the badgo is comprised of the emblems of the different orders of which he is a mem. ber. Suspended to it is a pendant bear- ing the word *‘Mayor %o circle around the pendant is sot witn diamonds, rubies and pearls. That is the kind of a man tho mayor of Conneil Blufts is. A reportor intorviewed him yosterday with the hope of getting points on mun- cipal business, and waa not disappointed. The note book man first seked whether Council Bluffs got a revenue from saloone, “‘Yes, Council Bluffs gets $400 a yoar from ench of its fifty saloons, L do mot find the saloon men opposed to paying. I am informed that two or three are not paying, and bhave sent word by the polico that if the money s not in when I roturn they must clese. The ordinances licenses the selling of beverages not prohibited by law. The state supremo eourt has not yot passed on the constitutionality of the new prohibition law, and wedo not assume to say what bevorages are prohib- ited. The saloon men know that while they pay public sentiment in the city is on their side, and so generally have paid lcenso just as boforo July 4. They pre: for to pay rather than get in a quarrel with tho city. Pottawattamie county ave a large majority againat the prohi- bition amendment—1 underatand Wood- bury county is that way—and our grand juries do not indiot liquor selers,’” Does Council Blutls’ debt exceed the five per cont constitutional limit? *‘Yes, and no. Our valuation is $4,- 000,000 on property really worth £16,000,000, and we have a bonded municipal debt proper of $160,000. The water-works are owned by a company, not by the city, Tho new issue of some- thing over $200,000 sewer and paving bonds, part of which are not yet Zold be- cause wo do not need the money, would exceed the constitutional limit. But I have the opinion of the attorney-general and members of the supreme court that these bonds are nota clty debt within the meaning of the constitutional limit. The city has a lien on the lots abutting on the streets that are sowered and paved, and the city, in effect, only guar- antee tho bonds issued to pay for the work, which, in the end, will be paid by the owners of the lots that are improved by paving and sewering.” How did you find the market for city bonds in New Yerk? “I had to go outside the dealers and bankers to sell them. When I found the men who had their own money to put in 1 made sales. One man took $00,000. The trouble with lowa bonds is this: The assessment only shows about one-quarter of the real value of the property in a town; in many cases not that. The capi- talists ask what is tho assessed value of property in the city offering bonds, and what the present bonded indebtedness is. Every city in Jowa 1s bonded beyond the legal limit, directly or indirectly, and it is because the assessed value does not show the rea! value of the property in a town. So much must bo ralsed by tax, and if there is a low assessment there must bo a high levy. The capitalist will look at the city’s ability to pay, and the high tax levy iooks bad. It is had to convince him that the assessment is only 25 or 30 per cent of the real value. All this hurts the sale of Iowa securities. While New York cities sell their securi- ties bearing 5} and 4 per cont, Towa cities are glad to soliat 7 per cent. Yot Iowa stands high in the favor of eastern capi- talist. One thing that would help would be a law requiring lowa insurance compa- nies to invest in lowa securities. Other states do that way, and it makes a market for home securities. - Tattooing Among Alaska Indians A man who had passed much time trapping and hunting 1in Alaska says : Although the Yukon Indians have aban. doned many of their old customs, under the teaching of occasional missionaries, all of them still keep to the queer habit of tattooing. The way they do this is difforent from any 1 ever saw or heard of. Instead of pricking tho stuff in with sharpenod bones or needles, thoy make a paste out of charcoal and grease, soak o thread in 1f, punch a needle through the flesh w0 that it comes out at a different hole from the one where it entered, and then draw the thread through under the skin. The operation is painful tor the flesh swells up and looks very much inflamed, Men tattoo only their hands and wrists with pictures of the nobler animals or fish, but the wo- men tattoo their faces also. These latter begin the process whon they aro quite young, making birds, turties or some other insignificant things on their hands snd wrists, while they draw lines of dif- ferent kinds on their chine and the lower part of their checks, As a rule this tat- tooing is done entirely fn bluo, but now and then there is an Indian who has dot- ted red spots through the blue, —— Why He Went Into Saloons, From the Merchant Traveler, My, my,” sald a temperance advo- cate to a friend of his, whom he met coming out of a saloon, *“I didn't know you went into such places.” “Ah, indeed! Then you have learned somothing this morning.” “You, and | am sorry I have learned it.” *I don't think it very wrong.” “*Ah, my friend, that's where the harm is, Your finer senses are blunted by such associations, and the demon dring 1 changed tn your sight to a boautiful slren, whose song transforms you into a beast. Why, dear friend, oh, why, do you go into those places!” “Why, really, old friend, T can’t say, un'ess it is that the durned saloon-keepers have become 8o aristocratic they won't bring it out to a customer and let him drink it on the atreet. I'm bound to have it, 8o you see I've got to go in after it,” — Wm. Burhmaster, a young carpenter of Burlington, 24 years of age, was swing- ing at the poor farm on the 2nd with a daughter of the steward. The swing was hung on & heavy timber between two trees. The timber snapped in two, and the jagged end of one piece struck the } young man on the top of the head, crush- ing the skull and producing death soon after.
