The approach to the bridge over mos- qulto creck on the road to the Institute for the deaf and dumb, that was men- tloned in yesterday’s BrE, has been fixed. Messrs, Spencer and Lynchard, late of the Council Bluffs Herald, are sald to be plnnfiing to launch another soclety paper onto the troubling waters of Omaha Jjournalism, Strawberry festival and literary soclal at Smith’s hall, corner Sixteenth avenue and Eighth street, this evening, by the young men's christian association mission. Cordlal invitation, The new chlef of the fire department does not neem to be taking any very sc- tive ateps to get possession of hls office, and Is allowing the old chlef to do the work, while he draws the salarg. The new episcopal church Is fast show- ing what It will be when finlshed, the walls belng well along. It Is safo to predlct that while 1t may not be the largest church in the state it will be the most handsome. 1t will certalnly be a great credit to this clty, and to the church. The work on the new county jail Is progressing well, but 1t will hardly be completed within the ninety days provid- ed for in the contract. The bullding promises to be a very strong one, and well adapted for the jall purposes, the only mistake so far dlscovered belng in the arrangements for the jailer and his family, These accommodations will be small, and not very conveniently arranged. The stockholders of the Council Bluffs water works company held thelr annual meoting yestorday afternoon for the pur- pose of electing directors. There were 1,766 shares represented, and the follow- ing persons chosen as directors, Robert Sewell, George F. Wright, Sldnew W. Hopkins, James F. Plerce, Harry Allen, George P. Sheldon, John B. McGeorge. All these gentlemen are resldents of New York, with the exception of Mr. Wright of Councll Bluffs, A woman, clalming to be from Omaha, created a gensation yesterday by indulg- ing In an oproar while deunk on the street. 1t took several policemen and a wagon to get her into the cooler, and then she spent her time making that place re-echo with her howls, In the struggle of capturing her Deputy Marshal Bates had the rim of hls new summer hat torn off, and the other officers have several memoranda scratched down on their faces and hands, Ira Scofield was the vict:m cf a loaded cigar yesterday, at the Ogden house, where he was quietly chatting and smok- . Ing, when a whole fourth of July broke out, there belng a shower of sky-rockets shooting eut of the end of his clgar, tak- ing him eo by surprise that he waa not able to let go of the explosive roll, but kept puehing it away from him, while at the same time hanging on to 1t with an affrighted, convulslve grip, He carries an accldental policy now, and a gun, and 1t is hardly safe for any of his frlends to offer him a cigar. The very unfortunate delay in the ballding of the new court house {s belng caused by tho difficulty whioh the city has in provlding any way for the building of the needed eewer on Fifth avenue, Until arrangements are made for this sewer the county does not foel like mak- Ing the contract for the bullding of the court house, for sewerage is one of the es- sentials to be provided for first, The city is troubled about the financial obstacles in the way of the Iaylng of the eewer, it not appearing plain how the work can be paid for. Unless some way Is soon found leading out of the dlfficulty, there will be no work done on the court house this season, The interlor of the baptist church has been greatly Improved by papering, painiing, new carpeting, etc , making cne of the most attractive audience rcoms In the church live, The church has had many hard knocks the past year or so, but under the pastorate of Dr. Cooley is now getting into a prosperous condition, with flattering prospects, Next Sunday evening there will be the baptism of two new members, the coremony having to be poetponed last Bunday evening on uc. count of the conditton of the baptistry.

How the Verdict Was Reached and the Doctor's Health, The reports about Dr. Cross having broken down In health and spirit seem to have fallen to the ground, without strength of truth enough to hold them up, even for a little while. It Is reported from partles who have seen him within a few days that he s growing fleshy and is enjoylng better health than ever before. The only time he has shown any slgns of weaking was the other day, when the sherlff started to the depot, to take him to Fert Makison, The prospecta of being locked up in the peni- tentiary made It seem more real to him, that there were not so many chances be- tween him and the gallows. He ap- parently gave up all hope of the fature, and seemed to be In despalr, When at the depot the telegram ocame asking the sheriff to walt for a few days until the necessary papers could be made out for keeping tho doctor at Glenwood, he cheered up almost in an instant, and re- covered his usual confidence as if by magle, One who clalms to be posted as to what went on inside of the jury room, while a verdlct was being reached In the Cross case, says that it was one of the most carefully consldered cases ever decided by ajury. On retiring to the jury room a ballot was taken and it resulted In ten for hanging and two for murder In the first degree, but favoring Imprisonment for llife. The second ballot resulted In [twelve unanimous votes for hanging the prisoner. Then the foreman told the others that this was so serlous a matter, Involving the life of a man, that they ought to do nothing without the greateat deliberation and careful thought, and while he had fully made up his mind, yet he did not want to sign the finding until later in the night, and he did not want any of the others to do so, lest they might after- wards regret the act. He thought that they had better take too much time than too little. This oplnion seemed to meet the favor of the others, and there they sat and talked over the case for several hours, and then each stepped up dellber- ately and signed the verdict of death. The question as to whether Dr. Cross should be taken to Fort Madison, pend- Ing the appeal, or remain in the jail in at Glenwood, still remalns unde- clded. The sheriff seems pratty well convinced in his own mind that 1t is hls duty to take him to the penitentiary, but he does not propose to be In undue haste about It, and is glving the attorneya time to make all objections, and get all the or- ders from the courts that they can. Then if Judge Loofbourow does not flatly revoke the order to take the prlsoner to the penitentlary, he will start with him, Such is the latest gossip about this no- ted case. There seems to be little or no chango In the feelings of the people. The friends of Dr. Cross do not apparent- ly weaken In their belief that he was more sinned against than sinning, while others feel that the man is gullty, and should be given the punishment ol the law. There are few, however, that seem to feel that Dr. Cross will ever be hanged, there belng more of a sense that he wiil finally get off with a term In the Penitentiary, ———— PERSONAL, Dr. C. B. Bobyshell, of Glenwood, was in the city yosterday, Mrs. W. B, Porter, of Plattsmouth, Neb., is in the city, visiting her son, J. C. Williams, one of the old residents of Cromwell, was n thecity yestordsy. Col. W. F.

Jackson, are n the city on a short visit to their relatives here, Fred Spetman yesterday received word from hig father, mother, sister, and brother that they sailed from New York on Wednesday, and that they were all in good health, aud bad enjoyed that much of their journey greatly. —— Real Estate Transfers.

Total sales, §: . Art Needle Work, The development of the taste for fine art needlo work was evidenced by the number of Iadies, and gentlemen also, who vlsited the store of the Council |® Bluffs carpet company, Wedneeday after- noon and evening, to admire the exhibi- tlon given there by Mrs, L, A, Smith, of the work of herself and the class of ladles who have been studylng under her In- structlon. Now, as a genera thing, a gentleman does not go into ecstacies over pillow-shams and tidies. Bat so long as one must endure them, or be called a ‘‘horrld thing,” he prefers that ihe o not violate good taste or common sense by representing a green sheep with blue lambs feeding on plok grass. One of the first articles that at- tracted the attention of the gentle- men was an elegant smoking ocap, exqisitely embroidered, the handiwork of Mrs. Smith, herself. Beside it were two very handsome hat l{nings, executed y the same lady, The laoies particu- larly admired & lambrequin, the second plece of the kind by Miss Z+rmullen, and a plosh table cover by Miss Lou Hol- comb, who bad several pieces of her handiwork on exhibltion, A large, beau- tiful wall banner of plush embroidered with ribbon embroldery, by Mr rge H. Camp, wes hung in the window, where 1v atiracted much deserved admiration. i The plano cover worked by Mrs. M, Robloson was » beauty, Miss Lottte Forman contributed some linen work that was especlally admired. Mra George Felt and Andy Jackson each had on exhibltion s nnmber of works of needle work, art, and beauty. Mirs Ida Rheee had finished a handsome table cover and fire which drew ‘‘chs” and from the ladiee, A handsome wall t embroidered with the leaves flowers and bursiing bolls of the cotton plant, by Mrs. John Baldwin, was a_beautifal novelty. A table sproad by Mrs, 1. A, Miller was among the many artlcles much admired. It would be Im- possible to mentlon all deserving of pri where everything was beantifal, but the exhibitlon reflected great credit on Mrs, Smith as an instructor, and on her class. o — PROFIT FROM PAUPERS, How Does it Pay to Farnish a Coffin and Hold a Funeral For a Dollar 2 Pottawattamie county, with its wealth and Its freedom from debt, with a new $160,000 court house in prospect of erec- tion, and itsnew $35,000 jall, pays the munlificent sum of ninety-five cents for coffing in which to bury fits poor. The undertaker who had the contract a time sgo used to bury the paupers of the county for a dollar each, but a sharper competitor came along and got the cone tract for five cents less, For this sum the undertaker is expected to go where the body is, care for it and get It in con. dltion to be pat in the coffin, furnlsh the coffia, take it to the cemetery, and see that the proper bnrlal fs given, and all this for ninety-five cents. The Bee man was a_little bit curiouns to know how this could be done 8o cheap- ly, and what the object was In bidding so low for the contract, and so asked one of the trade. *‘Well, there Is no money In burylng the paupers at $1aplece. Why, I used to make the coffins out of the boards of old dry goods boxes, just out of pine, and then staln them, and then with the running about, and the work of taking them to the burylng ground, and all that, I was really out about three or four dollars on every job." ““What is the use of bidding so low then?” ‘Well, the only object of having the contract Is that It sometimes brings other business. 1ln about half the pauper cases there are some friends or some nefghbors who want to have a littie better barial than that which the county pays for, and they order extras, which brings the price up some. Then there are some- tlmes atrangers die without money, and the county has to arrange to bury them, but word gets to thelr friends, and they order a decent burlal, and as the body is in the hands of the undertaker who does the county burglng, he is more apt to get the job, and thus there is more or less businees brought in, the profit on which makes up for the loss on the cases in which all that is had is just what the county pays.” who here e — Relter Is offering great bargalns at hi merchant tailorlng establishment, No. 310 Broadway.
