The county board of supervisors yes- teraay spent their time settling with the county treasurer and the poor master. Some routine business was transacted and adjournment had until this morning. It is now quite certain that there will be several militia companies here to join in the Fourth of July celebration. The races and other attractions will cause a great crowd to gather here on that day. _The heavy rain was greeted with de- light, but it came with such force and in such guantities «s to cause a little flood- ing of basements and low vlaces. damage was done to compare with the benetits given to lawns and farms. The heavy rain of Tuesday night made sad havoc with the curbing on Mynster street, and yesterday much of the work had to be done over.” This is one of the difficulties arising from ,mmng in curb- ing so long in advance of the paving. The new uniforms for the Fifth regi- ment band have been ordered. They will correspond with the regulation uni- form of the regiment but will be much more elaborate in the trimmings and adornments. In the district court yesterday the jury was discharged. There are a number of motions and other business to be disposed of before the term closes. Little was done yesterday, but court will resume at 10 o’clock this morning. Tha Dorhio Light Guards are enthusi- astically drilling, and their street drills show rapid improvement, The boys seem determined to have the drill down fine, 80 as to take rank as among the best companies in the west. The Council Bluffs Insurance company is completing arrangements so that after the 1st of July there will be weather sig- nals displayed from their building. They will receive the reports by telegraph, and thus inform the public'as this im- portant matter. An effort is being made to secure b* contributions enough money to pay oil the mongufe on the Harmony mission Proper_tx. t amounts to about $2300, and it is snid that unless Y“d the holder of the mortgage, Rev. Henry De Long, will foreclose. Marshall Turley has received a patent for a peculiar composition used in plas- tering houses. There is said to be a for- tune in it. Mr. Turley has secured more patents than any person in this part of the country, and some of them are very valunble. In the cases of 8. V. Schurz and John Fox against Pottawattamie county, Colonel Daily, as attorney for the county, seeks & change of venue to the district court. These cases are brought to force the county to pay the amount of the fee bills, which the plaintiffs, as justice and constable, presented. The board cut the fee bills down about one-half. Those intorested in the coming races gle first of July are woiking enthusias- cally, and there is every reaszon to be- lieve that there will be more and speedier borses than ever were seen here at any Rrevloul lmml.inf. The track is widely nown and popular, and with fat purses and excellent arrangements there seems to be little dificulty in securing entries. ‘The races will be the best ever had here and will draw many to this city from the surrounding country. The Fifth regiment band has agreed to give its services for the benefit entertain- ment to be tendered Miss Hatcher. Tho date fixed 18 the 28d, and the place the opera house. There will be a generons support of the plan to give this worthy young artist a benelit, and the band in donating its services indicates its willing- ness to favor the public in this cummenfl- able enterprise. The band will have twenty or more musicians, and will give some excellent music on this occasion. The telophone service has reached the limit of its present capacity, There will have to be a larger switch-board before there can be any more instruments added. There are a nnmber of persons who have ordered telephones who will have to wait until some drop outora new switch board can be put in. If the saloons are closed there will be a nuinber of telephones now used in them, which can be had by others, and there 1s some waiting on the part of the company for this reason before making extensions of the service. ol LTS SR The Cross Trial, The trial of Dr. Cross for the murder g Dr. McKune is to commence at Red ak on the 22d. Sapp & Pusey and Col. Dailey appear for the prosecution, and A.V, Larimer, J. Y. Stone and Smith McPherson for the defendent. It is un- derstood that the evidence on the part of defense will be stronger than before, as there is some new evfionoo in his be- hait. The trial will be watched with in- terest, although there seems to be more of a feeling that the result will be more favorable to the defendent than before, e ool P AR AT TR R phone No. 10.

The question is asked so frequently and by so many that the man who attempts to an- swer soon wearies. The frequency the question and the eagerness with which an answer is looked for indicates how much imvortance is placed by this community upon the se- curing of a wagon bridge as a connect- ing link between this city and Omaha. There is little news to give the readers of the Bee beyond the announcement that there will probably be no news for some days or weeks yet. terested in securing the site for bridize have asked for a further and those who working for aw bridge natu want to be again also, any hearing g ‘The Union Paciti b ing on this qu tives of each bridge interes on to Washi In the Secretar, i heard departure Sei y Endicott referred some legal ques tions to the attorncy general, and ask for an opinion upon them, It1s unde stood by those concerned that the ques- i : site will not be settled for s to come.

For a city laying claims to civilization there is a disgraceful manner of using female prisoners, brought into the city jml. The rooms on the second floor are supposed to be for the femaie vrisoners, but a glance at the accommodations is suflicient to convince anyone that they are not fit for animals, much less human beings. 1t matters little how fallen a woman is, the city should not descend to The room chiefly used has a bare floor, which bears no evidences of having seen water for months. There is an old mattress on the floor, and another smaller but dirtier one onacot. A few coverlets, or blankets, are there to complete the furnishing of the beds. These have evidently been strangers to pure water or air. To add to the dirtiness and dis- comfort of the place there are more bedbugs than can be slaugh- tered by a train load of insect poison. It is not to be expected that the city will furnish parlors for the accommodation of drunken prostitutes, but it would be bet- ter to have such women put into a bare but well scrubbed room, until sober enough to take care of themselves. Some of the female prisoners are not filthy, but even if they were, it is difficult to see any reason for the city making them still worse by turningthem into a place where vermin und dirt are the chie, character- istics, Inthis age of soap and water- works, three marshals and 100 feet of hose ought to be able to keep the place a little less habitable for vermin and more habitable for humans. i S Perkins Must Pay. Dell Perkins,who wasrun over and lost a leg on the Northwestern railway,is still at the Cottage hospital, A short time ago he made a settlement with the railway company, by which he received $1,100 in full for all claims and damages. The money was placed in a bank, and that same day he was married to the woman who had been attending him during his illness, she being a triend from Omaha. The county having been to considerable expense to furnish nurses and physician, an attachment suit has been begun by the county attorney, and $250 of the money seized. Perkins is not able to leave the hospital yet. It is claimed that he was preparing to go away without set- tling the bills which the county had in- curred for his care. ——— Personal Paragraphs.

Her parents, however, forbade it, and her friends dissuaded her for a short time. But the centinued silence proved unbearable, and she finally stole from her home one night, "secured an appointment as nurse, and betore her re- lations had obtained a clew to her where- abouts, was on her way to the front, Reaching the Bosphorous,she was placed in one of the hospitals at a small town near the border. She scanned with ea- erness the faces of the sick and dying, ut found no sign of him she sought. Remembering that he might be in the same condition as were the poor soldiers around her, she entered into the work_of ministration with all her heart. Her efforts were rewarded in an unexpected way, tor one day, in talking with one of the wounded men, she ascertained that he had been in the same regiment with her lover, and that the latter was a cap- tive in the hands of the Russians, From that moment, although quietly continu- ing her nursing, she bent all er facili- ties to planning some scheme by which she might gain access to her lover's place of confinement. She finally concluded to assume the role of a spy,and requ. 1 permission from the commanding o r to act in that capacity. He at first retused, but upon her pleading earnestly he gave his consent and supvlied her with the papers necessary for her passing the En- glish Iines She disguised herself and pretended she was half-witted, and by that means got within the Russi itory. So art- fully did she play her part that she be- came quite a favorite with the soldiers, who styled her “Crazy Peggy,” and al’ lowed her to do as she pleased, It was many weeks before she learned the town n which her betrothed was a prisouer, By a neat stratagem she induced the keeper of the prison to give her access to the cells. The jailer thought her a harm- less creature, and_permitted her to chat at will with the English captives, She soon disclosed her identity to her lover, and together they planned an escape. On a dark, stormy night she acted more insanely than ever, and in one of her fits snatched the keys from the belt of the warden. Running down the stairs, she unlocked several of the doors, including the one behind which her be- trothed was confined. In that instant he was out, and, hidden in a dark corner, he donned a Russian uniform furnishe by the faithful girl. The _":\ilcr gave chase to “Crazy Peggy” and regained the keys, but not before her lover had walked up the stairs and out into the open air. “‘Peggy’ followed him and they fled through the darkness until they reached the picket line. Here the pass- word, which had been discovered by ‘“‘Peggy,’”’ enabled them to gain the open space between the rival armies. An inglish coat, concealed beneath her was put on and the Russian uni- form discarded. In satety the lines were passed and the officer returned to his command. So well executed had been all of Peggy’s plans, and so anxious was her betrothed to continue 1n service that they both remained in the army, she as a spy and he as an officer. They were married by a chaplain, however, before entering again into active duty, Just before the conclusion of the war the husband died. Nearly heartbroken, Peyxgy accompanied the remains to Eng- lund, to find that her parents were dsufi, and that there was nothing left for her except a neat litcle estate. The associ- ations of the place were so painful that she determined to come to America, She did so and settled in one of the Carolinas, where she taught the slaves several times a week, without the permission of the owners. The rebellion broke out soon after,and the old war fever coursed through “k’eF- gy's” veins, She enlisted as a nurse in the confederate army. But her abilit a8 a spy reached the ears of one of the of- ficers, and she agreed to undertake tho dangerous business, She disguised her- self, and as a half-witted woman went at will through the confederate and union armies. Twice she was held on suspicion, and once was placed under guard until an examination could be had. In some way she managed to destroy the papers on her person und was released. A few evenings later she was attacked by a drunken picket and received wounds that scarred her fuce badly for the rest of her life. In fact,it was largcly because of her repulsive countenance that during the last twenty years she has kept in ab- solute retirement. FHer favorite com- mander was General Robert E. Lee, and he regarded her with marked respect. Peggy said that once, at General Lee's personal request, she got as far as Wash- ington and secured some important in- formation. Before she could get back within the confederate lines, however, she was shut up in an insane asylum. She escaped, but too late to render the news of any practical use. When she first came from England, she invested most of her estate in land and property in the South. The war almost impoverished her, but she managed to save enough to keep her 1n an humble way cver since. Soon after the rebellion she came north and lived at various times in Pitts- burg, Philadeiphia and Boston. Then for some reason she went to Newark, N. J., where she resided until several years ago, when she came to this city and took two glnin rooms up town. She was cul- tured, and was understood to have cor- respondence with a number of eminent men here and in _England, under an as- sumed name. (iencral Lee wrote to her up to the time of his death. ‘‘Peggy,” refused to disclose her real name to her new friends, . but she evi- dently had distinguished relatives in England. She adnitted elose relation- ship to Mrs. Gladstone and the duchess of Cumherland. Her knowledge of the English stage and its hghts was also ex- tensive, and she said she had known all the leading actors and actresses of a quarter of a century ago mn Londen. Un- known “Peggy”’ was not quite fifty years old, and had evidently been handsome in her younger days. She once ad- mitted in confidence that her husband’s name was Edward Lewis, but never re- vealed her maiden name, —— “UMBRELLAS TO MEND.” A Comparatively New Industry, With Some Figures. Inuianapolis News: An umbrella re- pairer’s den is almost s interesting a place as an old book shop. A few years ago, when tramps were abroad in the land in large numbers, many of them armed themselves with hammers and umbrella frames that the tinker’s disguise might shield them in the surreptitious in- lfiemon of window fastenings. Butnow the repairer of faded and infirm um- brellas has a place in the world, and al- though rascals may be in the business, they are fewer than they used to be. There are in this city some six or eight men who conduct hospitals for the treat- meut of rain-protectors, and two men manufacture umbrellas from stick to cover at the order of cubtomers. Any boy that's got a head on 'im and can do anything can mend an umbrella,’ said one of the umbrella doctors to a re- porter as he bent over a broken catch, The gentleman said he had several men employed in drumming up trade, and a man and woman were at work in his lhor.

Of course they are changed about and traded in mysterious ways,but offenses of this kind do not fall within the provisions of the penal code. The city’s umbrellas are worth, if they be valued at the average of $1 each, the sum of $10,000. THe valuation may be rather large, but a few cents added to the intrinsie ' worth will serve to count for the niental disturbance of owners in guarding their property. ‘I'aking it for granted that ever; brella of the possible 100,000 has to be re- paired during the year, and guessing at the cost of the work for each one to be 6c {a very low estimate, by the wnty) some 4dea of the financial retuins of the re- pairer will be gained.
