- COUNCIL_BLUFFS ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS&, CROSS'S CASE. It Goes Over-Until Monday Next, The Grounds on Which A Continu. ance is Asked, The announcement that the trial of Dr. Oross for killing Dr, McKune wounld commence yesterday afternoon caused a large gathering in the court room. As predicted in yestorday's Beg, the defense attempted to secure a continuance, Among the reasons urged being the ab sence of John N. Baldwin, one of the attorneys for the defense; the illness of Mra. Crosr, wife of the defendant, and the inabllity to get her as a witness, Judge Hubbard, who is also an attorney for the defense, stated that the prepara- tion of the case had been mostly in Mr. Bslawin’s hands, and, he being away, Judge Hubbard did not feel that he conld in justice to the defendant, proceed with the trial ot the easo His partner at Cedar Rapids was also sick, and he dld not feel that he could remain away from home just now. The aftidavit on which a continuance was asked was by George T. Wright, siating that Mr, Baldwin bad informed him that Mra. Cross would, if ab'e to appear, tes- tisy to certain facts as to Dr. Cross' ap- pearance on returning home afier the en- counter with Dr. McKune, the tendency being that he had been badly battered and bruised by Dr. McKune. There was al3o affidavita of two physicians as to Mrs. Oross’ condition, and the affidavit of Dr. Cross. The court expressed the opinlon that the application for a contin- uance was faulty in somerespects buvsaid he shall allow the application to be amended. Still, if thus amended he did not feel like granting a continuance if the prosecution wonld admit that Mra. Cross would testify as claimed in the af- fidavit. Col. Sapp, on the part of the state, withdrew the objections made to a lack in the application for circumstance, and agreed to admlt that Mrs., Oross would testify as stated, this removing to his mind, all ground for continuance. Judge Hubbard then said that he could secure affidavits of physiolans to the ef- fect that the nervousjstrain caused by Dz, Cross may put on trial with Mrs, Croes thus 11, wonld edanger her life. Col. Sapp objected to having any such amend- ment made to the application, when as objections were ralsed by the state. The court at last sot the case for Monday, and when asked by Col. Sapp if he meant by this that it should be premtorily set for trial at that time replled that if any other motions or am- endments were offered Monday morning he would pass upon that featurs of the case then. Judge Loafbourrow spoke of the great costs already accrued by reason of the special venire, etc., and explained that he would not have issued the spectal venire had he not been satis- fied by consultation with the attorneys on both sides that it would be satisfac- tory, and that thoy would bo propared to go ahead with the trial. Now, it ap- peared from the affidavits, that Mrs. Cross had been very 11l since the 12th of December. The pablic will have there- fore, to wait until Monday to learn the next stepin tho case which interests them 8o greatly. G1FIS FOR OLEVELAND That Will be Given to Charity, The presents continue to arrive at the any forGovernor and, despite his de 1 unwilling- ness to receive them and the labor of re— turning gifts has become so great as to necessitate a now departire in this busi- nest. The gove nor has therefore decided All gifts now on hand future will be . Clazets, liquors of any description will y be sent to the hospitals, while rare and peculiar articles will deco- rate the tables at some chnreh fair during the winter. The cause of religionand the wants of the poor and sickly will thus be istered to, while the president-clect deal of letter writing dinging of door.

A second express man was unleading a half barrel of cider that had jnst arrived, when the clerk ght him and told him to wait A ful examination showed it to have come from Binghamton, N. Y., and, without taking it from the wnge a receipt and bill of lading were made out and the stuff shipped back. So it went all day As fast as one thing was returned another came in to take ita place, and the clerk considered himself lncky if two articles did not come in place of every one sent back. It s easy to understand how simple country folks take pleasure in sending little to- kens of affection to the man they honor and respect, and in whose good fortune they have had a part. But why these to- kens 8o often take the form of animals is a question that sadly perplexes the poor clerk. One man in Brooklyn sends a dog, another in Malue sends two owle, & third forwards an eagle, a fourth believes that nothing less than a Maltose cat will make the president happy, while & fifth hopes to win favor by the presentation of a fawn, e — The Curiosaties of Murder, During the year 1884 there wero over 1500 murders committed in the United States. governors likeness labeled ou each bot- tle. As illustrating the extent of the gift mania, the following is taken irom an Albany paper: The queerest place in the state is Gov. Clevland's barn or store- room. Thegban is a substantial struct ure, built just back of the exeeutive man sion and during the administration of more wealthy governors it was tised for the carriages and horses of these worth ies, G Cleveland, however, doesn t keep he and since his election to the presidency the vacant barn has been used to store the t collection of miscellan ous presents that come pouring in from every quarter of the union. Formerly these packages were delivered at®the exe- cutive chamber on the hill, but as they g in number and ty, it was found impossible to re- ceive them there, and so0 a kind of union depot was opened in the bam. 1t keeps one man busy receiving, arranging, and shipping back the packages addressed to the president-elect. Tn spite of the fact that the greatest care is exercised in . finding out who sends the stutf, and his address, many of the packages remain unidgpti The governors orders are that al ts shall be returned to the about half of the gifts cowe anonymously, it is not so easy to carry out the instructions. A clerk was busy marking and sending away pack- wges. 'Lhe collection of bald eagles, bicy- cles, chairs, desks, brushes and other bric a-brac would have put o junk-shop to blush, Yet there was one marked dif- ce between the stock in the barn and the junk shop—here g article was brand new. The eagle flapped his wings dolefully in his wooden cage with an air that told plainly it was the first time that he had ever been made a show of, and two owls stared in a won derfully knowing way at the expressman who was taking the things away. Not a speck of dust dimmed the brightness of the glittering bicycle that was promptly going back to Boston, and the red plush of a comfortable arm chair showed its newness through the thin covering over it. The only thng that bore traces of wear was a barrel covered The causes leading to murder in many cases have been as trifling and sometimes almost as grotesque as those of suicide, and youthful erime has been alarmingly pre mnt. A son killed his father in a qu 1 aladat chopping wood. A daughter killed Ter mother because she would not allow her to go toa ball. A boy of 10 killed a playmate in a quarrel over marh] the same cause indu to kill another, A school of age stabbed another to get pc a kit Two boys of 16 killed each other on account pf jealousy.

A boy of 16 killed a girl of 15 because he was jealous of her. Two girle, 12 and 13, respectively, killed their brother of 5 with sticks because they did not want him to live any longer. A boy of 14, out of pure havagery, fired into a crowd of his associates and killed two of them. A boy of 10 tried to kill a boy of 13 because he would not contri- bute three cents towards a political bon- fire, and was killed himself. A boy of 17 was induced to kill another after reading adime novel. A boyof 14 killed his sister, a baby, by holding her on a rgdhot stove. ~The youngest mur- derers were two children of 5 and 7, who deliberately killed their brother of 8, because they were tired of him, More than 100 murders were the result of quarrels over cards. One man killed two others because they killed his dog. Two men quarreled over a doctor's bill and one killed the other. Four women quarrelled over the owner- ship of a chicken and one of them killed the other. In Chicago a workman killed his employer for a dollar.

A crayon portrait of Sig. Brignoli, which has an Interesting story, ornaments Mme. Pattl's parlor in the Windsor ho- tel. The portrait was drawn by Miss Marion Foster, the crippled artist,and was intended by the tenor as a gift to Mme. Pattl, to commemorate the twen- ts-fifth anniversary of the firat appearance inopers. He dying before the day, however, Miss Foster sent the drawing to Mme, Patti with a note explaining the circumstances, A few days after Miss Foster received a handsome gold locket seb with a row of elegant pearls down tho center, and in- Iaid with blue enamel. There were be- sides, two ear-drops ornsmented in a similar manner, with twenty one peatls in each. Inthe locket was a beautiful minature of Mme, Patti, and engraved on the back were the words: Muarion Foster + from 3 .\dvlllm\ Il’nufi, The present was accompanied with one one of Mme.

After calllng on the president-elect he wentback to his rooms at the Delavan, wrote & column account for his paper, and sent It to the Western Unlon office by a special negro servant, The account was long, was sent ‘‘collect,” and the re- celving clerk locked it over and sald: *‘Who is this McClure, anyhow?" “I dunno,” replied the hotel negro; he talks as it he owns the whole paper, but I dunno,” *‘Gieorge” called out the clerk to a New York correspondenrwho was just sending off his matter, ‘‘is this fellow McCiure 2od for & column to the Philadelphia Times?” And this is fame! o — The Npinc of the west, Brcoklyn Eagle.
