Willinm Lewie has added to his line of street vehicles two clegant coupes, one of which has already been put into daily ervice. The other is to be here by the irat of the month.

Mr. Allen reports that the new city maps, showing both Omaha and Council Bluffs, will be ready for delivery tiis month, They will be in great demand, and the past ‘work in this line done by Mr. Allen is sufficient assurance that they will be accurate and artistic. Few shows have brought to this city so many crooks and loafers as the last one. There are a good many hanging around the city, who came here during the races, also, and sonie who have been driven out of Omaha. The police should gather in these fellows and prevent them from get- ting any work hera. Arrangements unre being made for a and concert by the Fifth regiment and at the opera house on the evening of the 21st. There will be in connection with it an exhibition drill of the Dodge Light Guards. These two organizations are becoming very vopular, and the pub- lic will doubtless give the boys a hearty and practical support. 1t is understood that the council com- mittee on gas are invited to meet the ofticials of the gas company Friday night for & quiet conference. The gzas com- pany 18 probably paving the way for some new ordinance or proposition. It is safe to predict that there will have to be a big rednction in price and a big ad- yance in quality before the public will look very favorably on the granting of any more privileges to the gas company. Since the experiment of the electric light tower is made the gas company seems to be making a special effort to have 1ts street lights show up as well as vossible. It is a little late to begin to fivu more light, when so much better 1ght is found practicable. The public cannot be fooled at this late day, and no improvement in gas can be 8o brilliant a8 to blind the eyes of the people to the fact that the streets of this city have not been sufficiently lighted for years past.

Cook, about a mile north of Foster’s green house. Mr. Cook's two grand- sons, Frauk and Harold Westlake, aged eleven and nine years respectively, and who live with their grand-parents, were left alone in the house. Walter Cook had a pair of pants hanging up in the house, and in the yocket was an old revolver, loaded. The boys got out this revolver and were fooling with it, when Frank, the cldest boy, snapped the hammer and it was dischurged. “L'he ball, thirty-two calibre, passed into the abdomen of his Vo\lll’ffl _brother, inflicting & wound which will probably proye fatal.

The Police Gathering in Crooks and Vagrants—Crumbs of Church Work—The Methodist An- niversary—Personal Cramping Crooks. There was a full docket in the police court yesterday and Judge Aylesworth rushed tihrough the cases as quickly as possible consistent with justice. There were a large number arrested as va- grants, that charge covering a multitude of sins. In the gang were three well- known codfidence men, against whom there was no other specitic charge than that of being crooked. The chief gave his name as Michael Murray, a gaay baired man who claimed to be fifty-three years of age and a harness maker by trade. He hailed from Atchison, Kan., icld, 11, and other places, He 1t to jail for ten days. His fellow § were younger, One of them his name as Burns, and to be a seman. He had been one of the rubbers for Elmwood Chicf, and he wanted to be let free as he was on his way to accept another job in somebody else’s stables, He was a great taiker, had much trouble 1n making up a aight story under the judge's sharp mination. ~After he had patched one up, showing himself to be a Yited worle= ing, honest fellow, an Omaha oflicer, who chanced to be' present, was called to the front. *‘Do you know him?" wus asked of the oflicer, *“‘Yes, he's a crook, and an all around man.” That settled it. He stepped back with a officer, and a smile, as if re- lieved at getting off so easy. The other of the trio claimed to be a railway man named Spencer. He hailed from Georgia, but wili be found for ten days at Juiler ) gave claimed said he Two others, chargea with vagrancy, had an interesting history. They wave their names as Daly and Devine. [t ap- pears that they were wanted in Omuha for robbery. They had been in company with a third fellow, drinking, and taking in the city, and the third fellow got tire and t to sleep in a box car. The two others took advantage of his condition to rob him. As tliey were going through his pockets he woke, and they then took by force what they could not get by the sneak act. They used the victim roughly, choking nnd beating him, got his watch and some money, and then left him in the car, locking the dvor so that he could not get out. They then skipped to this side of the river, and when he got out of the car he came over here to look them up. He pointed them out to the ofticers, who had guite a chase 1n capturing them. Nothmfi wus suld about this robbery when they were brought in. Tlu?‘ were booked simply as vagrants, anl they were given a chance to get out of town or serve a term in jail, They natural preferred to leave the city. M Guanella was anxious to satisfy b elf that they really went beyond the limuts, 80 he accompanied them to the dummy train and saw that they got over to Omaha. As soon as they crossed the state line an oflicer from Omaha took them in charge, and thus they were got to Nebraska without the trouble of a requisition, here was trouble over a game in one of the gambling houses, which led to W. Andrews being brought up tor disturbing the peaco. Itseems that thefellow who lost on the game claimed to have been swind- led, and that he roared so that Andrews biacked his eyes. Andrews pleaded uiity to the simple charge, rather than Euve the matter aired up, and paid his ine. C. H. Curley was in for being drunk. He had taken off his coat and vest at the circus, 1t being so warm, and when he woke up In the station in the morning, he reahzed that mnch of his wardrobe had gone, and gone forever. ‘There were sgveral others who claimed to have been with the show, but who quit here and were left behind without money, having spent their unruinfl foulishly as they went along. Most of these were al- lowed to go with the advice to hurry on and catch up with the show. The man Mayfield, arrested on sus- picion of being concerned in the robbing of Dickey's store, was held for further inquiry, although little could be learned to fasten the charge upon him. He claims to be a farm hand, and admits having bought a nickel’s worthof crackers at the store, which caysed suspicion to be di- rected towards him a4s possmbly thie one who had sneaked the pocketbook out of Dickey's safe. He was hanging around the show grounds until late in. the oven- ing, when arrested. ———— Robbed a Preacher. Rev. Henry DeLong was last Monday avichwm. He missed from his drawer about $33 in money and some sand tick- ets. Suspicion was directed to a boy named 8. Huff, aged aboutfifteen years, and he was watched closely. Yesterday morning the boy hired a livery rig and was giving some of his companions a | nde, and treating them liberally to lemonade and cigarettes. Enough cvi- dence by this time had been secured, and 80 the police nabbed the youngster. He weakened at once, and told where they would find some of the money and whers the tickets and other stuff were buried. Out of the $33 thero was only about §31 left. The rest the boy had spent. He had bought a revolver, a pair of shoes, a hat, a dirk knife, and sundry smalicr ar- ticles. ‘T'he rest of the money missing had been spent in foolishness, Young Hull wse arrested once before on the charge of stealing a reyolver, and 1t was urged at the time that he should be sent to the reform school. Friends inter- ceded and saved him, but now it seems that he will have to be cared for perma- nently., —— Twenty Years Ago next Sunday the Broadway Methodist church was dedicated. 'This week a series of anniversary services and enter- tainments are arranged, to be concluded by appropriate services next Sunday. Last evening was given over to the list- ening to reminiscenees from some of | those who went through the struggle to get this building up, whict was, twonty years ago, the tinest in the city, and yet now is deemed uncient. Rev. lenry De Lonf. who started the first subscription for this church, ave an interesting address, lo re- erring to the struggle to get this church built, ho said that it would be easier now to start in to build a $100,000 ehurch than it was then to build this. He Rmd a high tribute to Rev. Joseph nots, one of the - earliest pasters, and who is sull a resident of this city. The speaker told about the old cottonwood church, which was occupied ‘before this brick one, Captain D. B. Clark, another old sottler and methodis’ also gave an address. He 8poke of the great assistance given by the women in building this church, The membership of the ehurch when Rev. Mr. Knotts took the pastocate was sixty-five, At the close of his term it was 214 In 1865 the population of the - oty less than 8,00, ‘The ' mem- P was now 425, ' Captain Clark gavo tho largest cash subscription ! other as brothers. of anyone in the building of this church. v. Joseph Knotts was not able to be present, but Mrs. Knotts was called on to represent him. . She made a few ap- prflrrlm remarks. rs. Tostevin gave an account of the work done by the ladies. The first festi- val held by them was in what was then known ae Palmer's hall, the building now occupied by the Nonpareil. After the church was enclosed a fair was held in that, The tirst money raised by the ladies was paid for the Iot on which the church stands, ‘The ladies raised the money for plas- wrin{( and frescong, While the church :zn:x'oéuildiuz the ladies raised in all over Mr. Gallup, another of the early work- ers in the church, spoke of the sucrifices and the toil necessary to get this church, but yet she was glad it had been built. It had done great good. Elder Shinn, who had been connected with Methodism in Iowa for thirty years, also spoke briefly of its growth in the Council Bluffs lmcfiwpt full pace. no small thing to tear away a loon and rear such & church upoa its ruins. In this good work the women had done randly. The speaker had succeeded Rev. Mr, Knotts and he never knew of such u band of sacrificing women as were here. The noblest work was, however, the number of souls saved and helped. . Rev. W. 1. Smith, the present presid- ing elder, spoke briefly. first met Brother Knotts and Brother ming in Hilsdale, Mills county, in 1865. Brother Knotts was on his way to take charge of tis church and Brother Fleming to tal charge of this district. 'The speaker wa just settling in a two room parsonage :;nd he entertained the visitors over Sun- ay. 4 il Church Work. From the thirty-fourth annual conven- tion report of the Episcopal church in Towa we glean the following items of in- terest regarding St. Paul's church in this city. There arc 140 families connected with the church and 450 individuals. During the past year there have been thirty-eight baptisms and sixty-one per- sons have become members of the church by confirmation, eleven have been added by letter, making the total inel e for this year seventy-one, This parish leads the state in the number contirmed, and has done so for two years.

He had the fellow near the Nothwestern depot and was just turning ina call for the patrol wagon when the tellow broke and run. The officer fired at him and the ball struck him in the fleshy part of the thigh. He was taken to the station and there cared for. The wound is not considered dangerous, and the city pnrsician will endeavor to re- move the ball this morning. Officer Hendrick says he did not ntend to hit the man, but that he fired at the ground and the ball struck something and glanced. e CHANGED HUSBANDS. A Trade in Lovely Woman That Has No Parallel. Says the Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazet- te: ‘About five years ago Jostph Miller was married to Miss Elizabeth Mine- march, the daughter of a_respected and weil-to-do West-end family. Miss Hine- march was a highly cultivated young lady, of a pleasing disposition, and made a good wife. Mr. Miller was a puddler, and was cmvployed at Lindsay & Me- Cutcheon’s mill, in Allegheny. The youug couple lived happily for nearly a year and they made their home in the Chirty-tifth ward, this city. Mr. Miller was overtaken with adversity. He got out of work and left for another city in search of employment, leaving hi ite at their home in the West end. Shortly after he went away news of his death reached his wife's ears and she was stricken with grief. But time healed her sorrows, and in a yoar she became the wife of R. E. Con- nor, a former bosom friend of husband No. 1. They ha yet hived together a year until, to the ment Mr, Miller put in an appearan He had never on ill, but some evil-minded person had circulated the rumor of his death for some unknown reason. In the face of these circumstances all parties were at a loss to know what to do. Both men nad been warm friends in their boyhood days. They had worked and lived together and regarded each A consultation was held and resulted m husband No. 1 ver- bally a reeing to release all elnims to his wife to Mr. Connor, the latter agreeing to support and care for her as his law- fully wedded wife. In the course of a few nionths the usual amount ot unpleasantries that are to be expected in such cases showed them- selves in Mr. Connor’s lite, and things b«-;iun to go crosswise. Then he was willing to resign his position as husband and gave back to Miller Iwia wife. The release wus made, and husband No. 2 re- turned to the solitary life of a bachelor and took up his abode on Ann street, South side. Mr. Miller then lived with his wife a few months when he also found that life would be more pleasant if he parted with her, and therefore they separated. Miiler went to board on Rebecea street, Allegheny, lus wife remaining with her mother in Shalersville, It was not long until O'Conoor learned of the separation, and he again presented himself as a can- didate for her supporter and husband and was accepted, But a short time ago a bitter feeling began to spring up n both men that showed signs of serious culmination, and 1t was deemed best for husband No. 2 to withdraw and give up possession to the rightful owner. Thomas Hinemarch, the grandfather of Mrs. Miller, (48she now is), came to Alderinan Richards’ house in the Thirty- sixth ward, Monday evening last, July 4th, with his daughter, to have som rangement for peace made. As a result, the following document was formulated before the wagistrate: PIT1SBURG, July 4, 1887, “Articles of agreement made this aay be- tween Joseph Miller, Elizabeth Miller and R. E. Connor: *1, Joseph Mlller and Elizabeth Miller, agreo to live as wmau and wite, and R. E.
