OPENED WITH A REPLEVIN. Grocers Begin Their Test Jase Against the Union Pacific For Overcharges. A SELF-GLORIFYING OFFICER. How Lincoln’s Mayor Had the Journal Puaff Him Up—-The Mtate Fair and County Premiums— Lincoln News. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] Yesterdny Deputy Sherift Fowler turned over to Raymond Bros. and H. P Law, wholesale grocers, the cargoes of sugar replevined by them from the Union Pacific company, which refused to accept the rate of transportation tend- ered by the firms. Each of these firms had 875 barrels of sugar that they repley- ned and it took a bond in the neat sum of $27,000 to get the goods. LIhis is the test care, as predicted by the Bk to come, and it is now fairly in the courts where it will be closely watched by more than local interests. STARTLING TESTIMONY. Under this heading the State Journal yesterday gave a column space for the hypocritical mayor of the city to air him- self and his spleen through a back office speech made by the mayor in the gamb- ling case. The city attorney was trying the case for the city, the replevin case covering the gambling fixtures, and tho case was being tried before a jury., The mayor, after the prosecution had made a speech, addressed the jury himself, although he was not an attorney in the case and had not heard the evidence. Among attorneys a smile goes round at the anxiety of the retorm mayor to exhibit himself, but Colonel Philpot, who was the opposing cousel, offered no objection, and the mayor made his speech, which he revised until late 1n the night and had published to bis own individual glory in the State Journal, which took g are not to publish any part of the testimony on the other side, or the reply that Colonel Philpot made to the bashfui mayor. This reply, from those present who “heard it, i described as simply terrific. When Colonel Philpot has as”vulnerable a sub- Tou! a8 a man of th ibre of the mayor, ho dissects right and left like a professor in & medical college. The colonel de- picted the poiicy of the mayor in his acts of eelf-glorification. He reviewed the mayor's double act on_ the Sunday or- dinances, when he proclaimed and left the city until the storm blew over and the council helped him out with revised ordinances. The colonel ealled the mayor a hypocrite and even harder names, and cited proof to sustain his assertions. All this part of the trial was carefully eliminated in the report published in_the only alleged newspaper in the city. It is a dawning and growing suspicion among a good many people that this entire ex- hibition is but a well planned scheme of the mayor to advertise himself as a re- former, and a great many people who know the man and his record know thav such a course would be very natural. One fact that would lead one to think that the mayor was searching for glory was that the raid over which the present suits in replevin grew was made on the night of June 30, just prior one day to the time when the law making gambling n felony came into effect, and which is a law that will enforce itself. Under the old law a long fight in public courts was certain to follow and it all 1"3 the mayor a chance to poise for the last time on the gambling question. What the re- sults of the case may be is yet un- known. The juryin this case disagreed, standing three to three yesterday when discharged, and in the afternoon another case over the same matter was up in county court. The law and the ev- idencein the cases obtainable will be doubtless sufficient to reach a verdict one way or the other, and it is just as well to Kive the news and facts on both sides. COUNTY PREMIUMS, Secretary Furnas, of the state board of agriculture, has issued a special circular calling attention to the premiums oftfered by the state board to counties for count; displays at the coming state fair. This in years past has been ono of the most successful competitions and many_coun- ties have participated. Secretary Furnas is of the opinion that the number of counties competing this year will be mueh larger than heretofore. The pre- miums are for best exhibits of agricul- tural products in the name ot county so- cieties, and are: First premium, $230; second premium, $200; third premium, $150; fourth premium, $100; fifth pre- mium, $50.

An Incident of tho Attorney-General’s Sojourn at Hominy Hill While Attorney-General Garland was sitting under a tree in his Hominy Hill retreat, says the Arkansaw Traveler, an old fellow, followed b{ six or eight dogs, came along, stopped, looked searchingly at Mr. Garland, seated himself on a log, slapped a brindled cur and said: “‘I've been eround here several tim but this is the fust time that I've cotch you at home, “Yes, I don't stay here much of the time." “l&mxv"t try Lo raise a crap, it seems?"’ “No. “Did you ever try?" “No."? ‘‘Dou you reckon this old dirt would sprout a blackeyeyed pea?” *Not 1f the eye were two black."” “Ef you wuz to take away the crickets do you believe a woodpecker could make his living on in?" *‘Don’t believe he could.”” “I reckon you stay here till you get hungry and then go 'way." ‘‘Yes," “Is that yore cow that's down and kain’t git up over yander?” “I havn't any cow.” “'Sh 8. lreckon she got on yore plac away so fast that she kain't @it off no mo’.

Cincinnati Enquirer: One of the most noted characters of Cineinnati, the “'steeple climber,” died Thursday night at his home, 79 Bank strcet. His name was Joseph Rodriguez Weston, and for nearly thirty years he has been climbing steeples in this city. No point was too high and dizzy for him to reach and maintain his steady foothold, Of late fiears he would undertake only those dif- cult feats that appalled others. It was his pardonable boast that he could go as hi, K or higher than any other man. ‘Ihere are many stories of his hazardous exploits in this city. The most notable, probably was the draping of the cathe- dral nv?;‘fl on the night follewing Arch- bishop Purcell’s death. On the ground below were 3,000 or 4,000 people eagerly walchinl; for a glance at the dnrmfi man as the lightning flashes revealed him on the dizzy height. Weston, when only 12 years of age, had placed the tip on the same stenl:lc. Another feat that was greatly talked about at the time was on the might of July 8, 1876. Weston climbed the spire of the Presbyterian church on Fourth street, the tallest in the city, and nailed fast the stars and stripes, 985 feot from the ground. It was on this occasion that hehad a narrow escape. Weston had obtained from Michle, the jeweler, n heavy gold chain, the like of which were solid. His chain, when he was falling, held him for a brief moment, during which the climber succeeded in regain- ing his hola. Anether time, when Wes- ton was removing the timbers from the steeple of St. Xuvier, which had been burned, he was struck by a falling rock on the head and slightly hurt. eston had a horror of going beneath the sur- face of the earth, and would never de- cend 1nto a cellar or cistern. i Weston’s father was named Rodriguez, a Spaniard, who died soon after his son's birth. His widow afterward married a man named Weston, which name the boy adopted. Young Weston's stepfatner taught him to climb atan early age, and us he advanced in years his many ditficult performaneces gave him a wide- spread reputation, He waa 41 years of age when he died. His son, now only 123 years old, already bids fairto equal his father in nerial explots. Buffalo Bil's Wife. Washington Special to _the New York World: While Buffalo Bill has been as- sociating with erowned headsin London, a few residents of this city, who knew the pretty girl of Capitol Hill who mar- ried Colonel Wluh\l‘ of Kentucky, was lelt a young widow by hisdeath, and was married to Mr. Co&v. have recalled this episode in the dashing frontiersman’s ca- reer. After the death of Colonel Whitcly his handsome widow got employment in the lrsunl? department. Cody hecame acquainted with ner in Washington and the marriage was celebrated with con- siderable pomp in Denver. She was sup- posed to be living happily until rumors reached here of a suit for divorce. Since the divorce no one in Washingtra who knew Mrs. Cody has ever heard from ber. —— Chasing a Bear. Albany (Ga.) News: There was con- siderable excitement in our “D“B&V on last Friday, caused by the chase and cap- ture of a Iarge grizzly bear. He was first soen in this county on Flint river. He made his way across the Baker county side of the riyer, where he was chased until sunset on Friday sn ! lost. He was agui scen in . this eounty, and chased from plantation to plantation by exeited white folks, negroes and dogs until about 2 o'clock, when he was captured, killing him, of course. Guus, pistols, axes, hoes, pine-knots, etc., were brought to bear in the plantation of . K. Bu er, near his pluce. He wis abont seven feet long, aud woighed from 800 to 500 pounds, Wkeuce be came, whether he escaped from some menagerie, or merely lost or strayed from his usual roamiang fiald, near or at a distance, 18 not know.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Jchn Kellher, a foreman in the employ of Crane Bros.. ran a rusty nail into his foot aboutan inch back from his big toe, on May 20 He washed the wound out with cold wator, tied a piece of cotton ouer it, and in a day the foot was comparatively well again, the nail having ;unl punctured the skin. Yesterday morning he com- plained of a sore throat. When the physi- cian whom he had called upon to consult asked him to open his mouth it was discovered that his jaws refused to perform their functions. Dr. J. B. Murphy was called in and at once pro- nounced the malady a typical form of traumatic lockjaw. “The man was re- moved to his home, No. 54 Wright street, An hour later the tetanie grin set in, and it beeame apparent that extreme meas- ures had to be resorted to. A consulta- n between Drs. Murphv, Hartman and Satler resulted n the operation below described: Mr. Kelleher was put under the influence of ether. The sponge had barely been applied to the sufferer’s nos- trils when the initial tetanic convulsions displayed itself. He jumped from the operating slab, and made a mad rush fox the window. is jaws were set, s eyes protrnded, and "he fought with” a jrenzied strength which the combined efforts of four men could hardly overcome, Again he was given the anwmsthetic, this time with better effect. The lauce was then taken in hand, and an incision 4 inches long and 3 inches deep was made aninch and a half behind the hip bone. The sciatic nerver, which lies to the rear of the ball. aund-socket joint, was then exposed. Here a strong metallic sound was passed be- neath the nerve, and it was stretohed downward from the spinal cord with a pressure of 175 pounds. The gash was then dressed with lodoform and antisep- tics and sewed up. An incision 3 inches long was next made in the groin, the knife cutting downward pastthe femoral artery until the erural nerve was ex- posed. Here the sound was again used, and the nerve drawn downward from the spinal cord with a pressure of fifty pounds. This idea of treatment for lockjaw is a new ome, and wus lirst successfully at- tempted in the Ruropean medical col- l«?(o_s nbout six months ago, and the case of Kellcher is probably the first effort in the west. 1t was the left foot which was injured. ‘The two ncrves treated are those supplying locomotion and sensation from the nerve center to the seat of the wound. The stretching was done to de- stroy the nerve current which conducted 1 the sensations fro the scar in the left foot produced By 'the nail to the base of the brain, nlso to prevent the convey- ance of the irritaton from the pywmie foot to the braip. ——— A Westérn' City Council. Boston Advertiser: The decision of the state supreme court of lowa in the Des Motnes street railway case has n{mned the eyes of, many citizens of Des Moines to the extent of the powers vested in city councils. They knewin a general way before that the council governed the city, but they did not realize how far- reaching and_despotic its ordinances might be. The Jowa State Register states the case with evident feeling, but there is no reason to believe that it warps the facts. The details of the case arc of slight concern to other ecities, but the conc! sions fairly drawn from it are of interest toall. The Register declares that the supreme court's deciston reaflirms and makes more absolute the theory that the council is the city, and not only for the time i which its members hold their terms of oflice, but for thirty or fifty years if it- chooses to so extend its power over the future. Un- der ‘the ruling of the lowa court a council once elected can bargain away absolutely the streets and all of acity for thirty years, or twenty-eight years beyond its own time, and make the public thoroughfares private property for the exclusive use of a priayate corpora- tion. Under it a majority of that council, whether influenced by proper motives or otherwire, can thus fetter a city and check its growth, as has been done with Des Moines now, and in no small degree, without the people of the city having ab- solutely any redre In the height of its indignation at the subjection of the city, the Register unrea- sonably finds fault with the judges for their interpretation of the iaw in the case. It forgets that the supreme bench is not respounsible for the existing powers of the council, but the lawmaker: should have limited them. Itis absurd therefore, to cavil, as it does, at th tion of the court for “using its great final power to help fasten this theory of a city council’'s powers upon lowa." The court could rightly admit no other consideration than the voice of the law to control their decision. But while we take issue with this course of the Register, we think that its movement to limit the power of the city councils of Towa is in ihe right direction It is a dangerous thing, as the Register says, to let a body of men whose term is for two years, make contracts in the name of the city for thirty or fifty years, and dispose of city franchises with abso- lute power' Inthe east the powers of municipal governments have been clipped and fenced in for evident and urgent rea- sons, and, like reforms in the west, are now in order. We believe fully in local self-gqvernment, but proper checks and balances will guard agamgt abuses of the large powers ncecessarily confided. e FAMILIAR “AMERICANISMS." An English Obsepver Points Out Dif- ferencea in. the Common 'Language, Probably the most frequent question which is put to' an’ Englishman visiting these shores fof'thé first time, after hav- ing grappled with (the poser, is: “What do you think of America?” ‘Do you find much difference in the dialeots of the two courntries?” That there is a dif- ference nobody will deny; but nong the refined classes'in New York, apart from certainc local expressions, it is far less mnotipeable than would have been expected. The first thing that would strike a Londoner is probably the lazy, familiar “Ye-ah'’ by which you are nswered on alt sides by persons from hom, in kngland, you would expect cs, sir;”” while !‘See here' 18 also pe- culiarly American. If the person you are addressing does not catch your re- mark, he will startle you with *‘W hat that?” “Whet is it?”’ or ‘‘How?” when in England he is accustomed to “‘What?"’ “Eh?” or “Beg pardon?” under similar circumstances. There i8 no exact corresponding ex- pression in l-)nglmh for ‘‘to get left” and *to et there,” the nearest approach being *‘to be in the cari” and to pull through.” The English never use the words *pre- vious” or “fresh” (impudent)’ * meat” (underdone), ‘‘fleshy”’ (stout), * patch’’ (telegram), “full” (tipsy), “home= i (plain, nddres to persons). An American ' child will call her parents mam-a and pappa, and will cause o shout of laughter or a shocked look when she spesks of ‘‘bugs” for srdinary insects, this term being exclusively reserved in England for the “‘bed” species. It is hardly nec- essary to allude to the use of the word ‘‘guess” (Anglice, *I fancy,” or “I think™), as from time immemorial an Englishman thinks he has only got to say “T guess” and talk through "his nose to imagine he is talking “real good Yan- kee.” "“‘Dude” 13 unknown in England, and no one there would know what was meant by a ‘‘dry goods store” (linen- draper’s). Londoners have nothing grander than “house-porter’’ to correspond to ‘“‘jani- tor,” and would possibly be puzzled to know what was meant by ‘“‘a high-stoop house,” or an *‘English basement house,” They would also ask for the “lift” in vlace of the ‘‘elevator,” and would think it strange not to have to go up one flight to the “first”’ floor, as in England they are accustomed to call this Iatter the” “‘ground floor.” Such nlangy ex- lirassim\s as “You make me_tired,” ‘‘To blow you off,”” “I feel a kinder good,” “Ihave had a real elegant time,” are characteristically American, If you ask an American totake adrink, he will reply, “l should smile,’”” the meaning of which is obvious, and he may possibly offer to give you ‘‘points” (tips) on scme ecoming race. The word ‘*boss” takes the place of our ‘‘zovernor," except when a a London street Arab means to be particularly polite and to gain your cus- tom for a box of lighl!. ete., when noth- ing under a “capt'n” or “my lord” is good enough. The Americans pride themselves on speaking very correctly, and certainly it is ouly very rarely that one hears an “h" dropped ot put’in the wrong place; but, on the other hand, one econstantly hears *Was you theret” and the use of the word “‘everywheres’' in its plural form. On this side they speak of “mail- ing” for posting a letter, and take the ‘‘stage” for the depot in place of th ‘omnibus” (bus) or trains to the station or terminus. The word “candy’’ in America seems to cover all kinds of sweetmeats, which are gen- erally called “sweets” by the crowd and ‘‘sugar-plums” by the select in England. There is alsoa dorrtiption ot the good old Scotch word ‘Noffee,” used gencrally here, viz.,“taffee,” and it sounds comiecal to l-IngHsf: ears to ask for a piece of apple-pie in plage of tart, ie hnmgonl used when spéaking of meat.—N.
