It was the intention when they held their last meeting, to take recess during the hot weater and not convene until the regular August session, but Qusiness which could not very well lie over, caused the mayor to convene that August body last night. All the aldermen were present except ells, Minutes of last meeting read and approved, The mayor then stated that the princi- pal cause of the session was to look over the plans for the new hook and ladder house on Broadway near,the Methodist church but as the architect was not pres- ent with his plans nothing could be done until his arriyal. The Omaha and Council Bluffs Bridge company asked that Brondway be graded, ourbed and paved with cedar blocks. A resolution ordoring the same com- pleted by January 1, 1888, wasintroduced. Metealf wanted the szmg to be of brick foundation instead of plank, as the brick can be obtained at home.

EXCITING SNIPE SHOOTING, A Hose Wagon Dashed Against a Pile of Brick—The Saloon Injunc- tion Cases To-Any—Sults Against the County For Fees. Biz Hotel Bills, ‘The time of Judge Carson was taken up yesterday in listening to the avplica- tion for the appointment of a receiver for the hotel Manawa. The petitioner is Robert D. Long, who claims that he was induced by Frank Clark, the proprietor, to invest 600, on the assurance that he should e a share in the profits, divid- ing pro rata with Clark. Long's history of the finances of the hotel, as mamged by Clark, is an interesting one. He claims that Clark had only $300. The details of how he managed to get the hotel built, furnished and opened, were given so far as Long knew them. " Long ulso gave an account of the debts against the “institution 8o far as he was ainted with them. On cross-cxamined Long was put 1n rat! rassing position. He claimed to be a partner, and that the firm was Clark & Co., he being the com- pany. When asked who owed these bills, which was unpaid, he answered that Clark & Co., owed them, and had to admit that he being the company he was liable for the debts, To get his shoulder under this mountain of debt seemed a heavy hift, but such was the position which the cross-examination torced him Long told his story of his griev- s in « straightforward and evidently manner, and he naturally feels that he was duped into putting his money into the enterprise. He testitied that he was assured that the lots on which the hotel was built were to be given by Mr. Hay, but afterwards he learned that Clark had simply taken a contrs for the lots at $300 cach, or 3,600 in all, and that only $30 had been paid on the con- This leayes an indebtedness of 3,500, which is abead of all other claims to the property. “The hearing was very slow and th amination of Long tedious. Ik tion was attended by un o most of the objections by arguments. By the time the ruling of the court could be had the witness had forgotton what the question was, and the court r(Tortur had to read it. The hearing will hardly be concluded for two or three days yet. While these proceeding were occupying Clark’s attention 1n court, there was a lively scene at the hotel itself. Creditors, who had chattel mortgages or I on property in the hotel, were se ng it. Furniture was being taken out, dishes packed, and other furnishings 3 being removed. Clark had discharged the kitchen and dining room help, and 1t is said that some of them still have wages for a month due them. They eaught the fever, and were helping them- selves to such things as their hands first clung to. Little articles like knives, spoons, ornaments, canned goods, hams, wes kiy taken by those rest to them. med a general seramble, with little regard to legal rights, Clark yesterday confessed judgment in favor of the Boston Tea company for nearly six hundred dollars, Other judg- ments, liens, ete., are recorded,” and Long's attorneys, who have been focting them up, preparatory to having them offered in evidence, place tho total inbilities at about $16,000, The financial affuirs ot Mr. Clark scem to be worse tangled than was at first supposed. Negotiations are about being brought to a linish by which the hotel will be put on a sound financial busis, and _ properly managed, The hotel is not closed, al- though reports were around to that effect yu.wt«-nluf. It is predicted that it willnot be closed, but will continue to accommo- date guests as well s possible until a change can be made for the better. A stock company is being orgamzed, and within a few days at the longest, the hotel will doubtless be in better condition to serve the public than ever. —_——— Expensive Snipes, J. Haskings and Vic Sadowski were out snipe hunting on the bottoms, and got a little careless about their shooting, or s0 enthusiastic as to disregard the comfort and safety of residents of the vicinity. They were near Mr. Hunt's place, and it is claimed that some of the stray shot rattled about the house so freely as to make the inmates nervous. A boywas sent to them to telljthem to desist, and when no attention was paid to this Mr. Hunt went himself. Sadowski was independent, and was going to shoot where he pleased, and Hunt quickly grabbed him and threw him to the 1. He called for a third man, name is not learned, to come to stance, and as this man came with a cocked gun, Mr, Hunt left the field and sought the courts. The third man es caped, but Haskins and Sadowski were brought in and fined for shooting within the city limits. Sadowski in his wrestle with Hunt was thrown with such vio- lence as to injure his leg, and so badly as to necessitate his laying off work for a week, and having 1t cared for by his physician. e &3 THE LACK OF A LANTERN. It Causes a Serious Accident to a Hose Team in Golng to a Fire, About 3 o'clock yesterday morning as the Main street hose cart was going to the fire in the Western bakery, on Broad- w with Ed. Follett, as driver, the team dashed into a brick pile in front of Paul Boguet's hyery stable. The sudden jar sent the driver up n the air and he landed on the neck of one of the horses which he held onto. The horses know- ing there was trouble stopped, one of them being badly cut and braised, The boys were in & great hurry, bcmf satisfied that they were ahead of the rest of the department. There was no light on the brick pile to warn them, and the damage done 1o the reel, although considerable, was small to what it might have been. As soon as they got back to their house they got another horse and loaded their hose into a wagon o as to be ready for another alarm should one come in while their reel was disabled. Shortly after they struck the pile of brick No. 4 came tearing down Broadway and without doubt would have run into the disabled reel. had they not been notiiied by those on the ill-fated cart before it was too late. A complaint was yesterday filed against Paul Boquet for not getting out a permit to make excavatious. The lowest line i such eases is §50. It was only & few nights ago that the patrol wagon had a narrow cscape from gowng into a diteh where exeavations had been made and no danger signal put up. A few $50 tines will be liable to make thoso interested a little more careful in regard to displaying danger lights at night. ————— The Saloon Ui There was little done in the saloon in- junction cases yusterday. Attorney Sims concluded to amend bis petition in the case nsking for a temporary writ of in- junction against Maloney & Frum, of the Pacilic house, and making Heory Eise- mond cne of the ‘defendaats on the ground of his being the trustee 'for the owners of the building. The attornoys for the defense had. demurred to the petition on the ground that the petition tailed to state that the alleged illegal use of the building was with his knowledge and consent. The attorney for the prose- cution yesterday filed an amendment eovering this claimed defect, and the mat- ter then went over until to-day. The other cases are expected to be taken up also _to-day. The contempt cases werc continued " from Monday until to- also. Suing For Fees, In the superior court yesterday the case of John Fox against Pottawattamie county was on trinl. Jn this case the plamtift sues for fees for services rendered as con- stable. The county board refused to allow only a portion of the fees charged up by him, and he refused to accept the proflered portion, but sues for the whole amount. The case of Justice Schurz against the county is to follow. It is a similar one. The chicf interest in these cases is the determination of the question how far the county board can go in cutting the fee bills of justices and con- stables.

Interesting Facts About the Hero of Winchester, Lientenant-Gen Phil Sheridan, our highest military of r, is growing very stout.

He is shorter that five feet six, and weighs about two hundred and fifteen pounds, He fairly rolls when he walks, but he is nimble, and could go into the field and do ctive service as any man in the army, and would doubtléss withstand more hardships than the bulk of young men, But the general is not old. "He is in his early fifties and is as lively asa youth, Heis very fat in the face, his eves being surrounded by great rolls of flesh On & hot day he looks something like n boiled lobster in color about the face, and on a very cold day is a perfeet pur: ple. But he is the y essence of good humor, and no one can come in contuct with him without admiring him. He is slow in speech and careful of what he says, but when he says or docs a thing it is said to be done. ‘There is no crawling out of it.
