Leave to marry was yesterday given to Charles B. Barton and” Mollie “Johnson both of this county; Otto Rasmussen and Anna Hansen, both of Polk county. The wagon bridge company has moved its office from Main street next to Chap- man’s, and will now occupy the room r cently used by Wright, Baldwin & Hu dene, on Pearl strect. The statement tl . Ferson was a member of the Royal Arcanium proves to have been a mistake. He was a mem- ber once, but allowed his membership to lapse over a vear ago. Out of five drunks in police court ves- terday two were discharged, three fined and two only paid. Out of a'possible fiv at thirty days rise, Judge Aylesworth really scored only two. The others were missed or fell outside the bounds. The saloon eases are to come up hefore Judge Carson to-morrow. Considerable interest s felt in them, and front seats will be in demand. Itis expected that the first two informers, who have |een in durance at Omaha, will be present to give their testimony if wanted. Superintendent Buchanan, of the Wa- bash, was here yesterduy to see about the motor line crossing the track of that road. Itseems that the crossings con- troversies have not all been settled yet despite the many announcements to the contrary. J. T. Field, of Field & Cole, desires to relieve himself from any suspicion that he was among those who sought to take advantage of the distress of the unfortun- ate excursionists. He walked from the Iake to the city to secure conveyances for them, and did not charge the excursion- ists unythinfi simply taking their tickets where they had any. Haverly's ministrels are to appear at the opera house next Thursday cveuning, August 11. The name of Haverly is an assurance that there will be an enjoyas ble evening of fun and frolie, good music and keen wit. His companies always drew well here, and with the new attrac- tions which he promises for this occasion there will be a ready sale of tickets. A real entertainment is promised all who go to hear Chaplain Lozier at the G. A. R. hall Monday night. The Union Veteran legion has secured “‘the fightin, chaplatn’ for this one night, and a should improve the oportunity of hear- ing him. ~ He is one of the jolly sort of men, who can laugh as well as fight, and who can make others laugh. The eldest danghter of Wall McFadden some time ago lost the use of one eye, as the result of measles. The sightless orb has been lately cavsing much irritation, and it was feared that it might affect the other eye. Yesterday the eye-ball was removed by Dr. Chamberlain, to avoid any such resnlts, and preserve the other eye. J. Hannibelsen, who_lives about three miles froin the city in Hazel Dell town- ship, has found that the springs upon his farm have valuable mineral properties. He has recently sent some of the water to Prof. Bode, of Milwaukee, a well known chemist, and the analysis shows, according to Bode's letter, that it has very much the same qualities as the famous Waukesha water. Mr. Hanni- belsen proposes to put some of the water on the market, and proceed to improve the springs. Miss Kittie Burchell entertained her friends 1n a very happy manner at her home on Pierce street Friday evening. A platform was arrunged for dancing, a fioo(l orchestra provided, and the lawn rilliantly lighted by many Japanese lan- terns, The refreshments consisted of 1ce cream and cake. Each guest was pre- sented with a beautiful souvenir, hand- painted, the work of the fair \mslcas, who is an artist of no mean skill or abil- ity. The gathering was a joyous one, and the cvening passea delightfully to all participants. Surveyor Broadbeck was yesterday taking the measurements for the neces- sary crossings for the motor line. From this 1t appears that there is no immediate rospect for the crossings being put in. 'hey will have to be made, sent here and then Inid, which will take some little time yet. The public is getting out of patience with the delays, apparently unnecessary, which are attending the construction of this line. It does not appear clear why Mr, Graves 1s so long getting this line in operation. Pat Horton was before the Pnlice court yesterday for being drunk. Patis an old settler, and by bolding to land which he ot at the early prices, he amassed a for- une, but by the eusy way of living and free use of the cup he has gradually al- lowed his property to dwindle to where nickies count big, He declared he was not drunk, but that he had a sore foot, which made him limp. and even tumble down. He got his case continued until atternoon, and then secured permission 1o run over to the drug store to get son thing tor the foot wfiwh Lad brought him into such disgrace. The judge told him to hurry back, but at last reports he was sull bunting for corn salve. Bl When you are in the city stop at the Pacific house.

The place of holding the inquest was the court room, 1n the Masonic butld- ing. The jury consisted of P, C. DeVol, J. C. DeHaven and A. C. Graham. The county attornc Colonel Daily, con- ducted the ivestigation, questioning the witnessess, and the coroner sat quictly by, his only duty being apvarectly to swear the witnesses, Sol. H. Foster, ot the Council (\ t, oil and glass company, testitied: WVas on steamer Manawa when she went down. My watch was stopped by the water at 10:15 o'clock, Before we left the wharf someone asked the captain how many were on the boat and he re- plied *‘about twenty-tive.”” 1 didn't see any one. Our party got in bow; wind blew stern of boat back against dock; I heard tim- bers crack; some one saud it was the wheel-house that broke; my belief s, a hole was knocked into stern of boat in striking dock, Bow of boat was to the west when it was at dock; the stern was toward bath houses, Cracking of tim- bers might have been those on the dock. We started down the ke to_the None of the hoat hands were in bow of boat. Ididn't see any one on the boat except adults, al verything to me was quiet and orderly. It showed to to me very plainly that the water came into the stern of the boat, and when the order to go forward eame they rusied to the bow and it sank. The waves did not wash over the bow. I don’t think the boat was overlonded. when the bow went down I jumped into the water and swam; went back and got hold of flag stalf; four or five men were in the water; balance were Lolding on to the boat. Some swam toward the boat houses on the beach. It took all my time to look after myself. Boul fired from the bow; don’t know anything about the people in charge. George Metcalf, F. J. Dav, Charlie Ferson and myself ‘sat in the bow under Metcalf’s umbrells, facing fire box. First noticed water in pit near fire box with scum on it; apparently fresh water. s than five seconds it was putting out fire. Some one said to get to the front, and she went down in an instant, bow first. L. Shepard, clerk for Benson & Mayne, stated that in his opinion the crowd rushing to one end was the im- mediate cause of the disaster. He had avoided the steamer Manawa heretofore thinking it unsafe, but as had been ohanged to a side whe re thought she was now all right. body behaved in an orderly manner. was raining very hard. pard at first claimed to have been e stern of the boat, but 'when his attention was called to facing the tire box he concluded it was the bow nstead. K. J. Day, r¢ Bluffs estate broker. Colonel Daily asked witness if he could throw any additional light on the subject. He smd, “as I sat down, on going on board, I found a brace and auger bit on the scat. asked if there were any life preservers on board and understood there were, but could find none, as [ put my hand under the Before we got on board one of the hands said they could carry safely ten more passengers. Metealf,” Foster and myself were the first, 1 think, to dis- cover the water going into the fire-box. I think it was the wheelhouse that struck the dock before we left; was sitting right by it. Some suggestions were made aboutit. but a boat-haud said it was all right. [think the boat drifted after it went down. I stood on top of the awning with water up to my breast. Water did not wash over the bow at all. I saw three men jump and leave boat. It was suggested that some good swimmer go to notify those on the beach, and I think two left with life prescrvers. Harry H. Inman testitied as to being an auctioneer. He said. “I was wet and cold and was st:\mlimz‘ by the engine got- ting warm as we leftthe dock. 1 noticed in particular the engineer seemed to have trouble in getting started. Didn’t know of boat striking dock. [ was standing where they put coal in the furnace, fac- ing the boiler. Saw the water but don’t know how it got in. 1 must have been in bow of boat. Everybody scemed quiet on board. Iknow the waves were not high."’ E]i Thomas testified: *'1 held the wheel during the accident. I had piloted her a number of times, but not since they changed her to s side-whecler. Have known her since September She was on the beach out of the water with probably ten inches of water in her. Dur- ing the winter the water froze in her, Saw her in the spring. They put anew hull over the outside of the old one. The original hull was of cottonwood; they put on a false sct of ribs over old hull clear to deck, leaving a space of four inches between the two hulls. The old bottom was not touched, the repairs being only on the sides, The new casing was of inch pine lumber. She was a stern pad- dle wheeler until four or five days ago. I know she sank one time. In June the wind blew her onto shore. Later she sank. I helped raise her at the hotel dock, where she sank in four and a half feet of water. Didn't stay to see if she had a hole in her. She made her first trip the night before she sank after chang- ing the wheel. Have had no experience in piloting, Her captain is her regular pilot. The captain was at the engine ard I was at the pilot during the accident. The engineer was sick. helped push her away from the dock. Corner of wheel caught dock. 1 don't think wheel was damaged but won't swear it wasn't. 1 suppose I should haye examined it. 1didn* want to leave the dock as the storm was very heavy. [ wasn't anxious to leave, but” was confi- dent we could make the trip. The port wheel caught dock. We went down the lake; shouted to captain to stop wheels as Itried to turn her, Asked three or four to come to stern of boat as the rud- der was out of the water some and I wanted to sink the rudder, 1then shouted to the captain, “‘For God's sake, Ret them forward and stop the wheels.”" She then instantly went down bow first. I held onto the tiller until the bow struck bottom. The stern then sank and I still held on to the tiller until 1 was in water to my shoulders. The steamer Manawa now lies with some water in her upon the beach, where they looked to find if any bodies were still in her. I have madé no examina- tion for holes in her bottom. She was ordinarily in charge of J. Tipton as en- gineer and Harvey Holloway as captain and pilot. She carried from forty to sixty pounds of steam and has a seven- horse power engine. She wasn't heavily loaded when she left the dock." At this point, it then being 12 o'clock, a recess was taken until 2 o'clock, After recess the first witness called was Harvey Holloway, owner of the steamer Manawa. He said his previous business was farming and he had been baling hay four years previous to -last spring. Steamer Manawa was a stern-wheeler n{: to Inst Monday, “I did mostef the worl myself. She was finished Wednesday evening and'made two trips that ev: ing. (}u Thursday, the day of "the di aster, Iran her all day. The boat was built about two years ago at Onawa, of elm and not cottonwood. She was twenty-nine feet long, seven feet wide and was built for a steamer; the man building it calenlating to go to Florida on it. Part of the old machmery is on it. She has a seven-horse power boi- ler, only change I've made was the widening of the boat three feet by pute ting on new sides over old sides, The top was left open a distance of eighteen inches in center of boat.” Colonel Daily here tried to get him to explain it he didn't think this a danger- ous way to leave it. He admitted if water got in between these at the top on one side that it would be apt to tip the boat. He etated that there was no way to get the water out after it got in between these two bulls, except to pump it out by putting a pump in betwecn, The only experience he had in running steam en- gine was in running Q0a hay press engine. ‘“That evening my en- gincer was sick; was engineer that night. Thomas was pilot that night. I was attending the engine and was on the boat when she ieft the dock. 1 w she struck the dock ore we left. 1don't know if any damage was dcne or not. Didn't examine it atall. Rain was com- ing from the northwest and the crowd kept well over to the southeast corner in the stern, At the time the boat was sinking [ heurd the pilot say to send the crowd forward. I shut off steam to re- verse the engine, intending to try to start up for the beach. We med to run north to the willows and run to the Thotel landing under the lea of the willows. The only way I can account for the sinking was on account of the crowd getting on the side. ~ About sixteen inches of water would be required in the bottom of the boat to put the tire out. An ordinary load ¢ or fifty people; we had ixty on the trip before that. We had about twenty-live to thirty on it on that trip. ‘The reason she sank i June was an auger hole three-quarters of an inch in the bottom of the hull. After she went down 1 swam to shore for heip, I was along side of Mr. Inman, near the center of the boat.” Alderman George Metealf, of Metealf Bros., testified: ‘‘Was on the Manawa when she sank. Nearly all the s were filled, and probably 25 persouns were on it. Qur party sat in the bow near the center of the boat. We noticed water in the pit. Some one said she was sinking, and immediately she began to sink; in live seconds she was on the bottom, About eight or ten were forward of the center. 1f the boat had been out of bal- ance we certainly would have noticed it, Mr. Ferson jumped ahead of me;as [ went into the water I put _my head top of the canvas. Ferson toward the sland. 1 not know Newman or Cartwright, Those on_the boat were all quict and rly. I know nothing of the boat striking the dock. I thought the storm lightone, more of a mist than a rain, at that time, and didn’t consider it a dan- gerous night at all.” Joseph Gaglagan, Lady of the Lake, testitied: **Am engi- neer; been on Lake Manawa four weeks; inspected the machinery on the Manawa believe it all vight.” I have a govern- mant liconso for running boats. Was no on the beach at the time. was over at tht hotel landing. 1 consider the false sidee dangerous. Tf water got in one side is would be liable to tip it, but if the samet amount of water was in both sides in the chambers she would balance.” After tuking the above testimony the jury, accompanied by the coroner and county attorney, with the reporters, pro- ceeded in carriages to the lake. Upon arrival at the beach the ill-fated steamer Manawa was found to be lying on the ground about thirty feet out in the water, where she had been towed by the steamer Lady of the Lake on Friday. Taylor Wolsey and Ruben Bryant had just searched the M=nawa for any bodies that might have remained n her. They thinking possibly the Rice boy, reported missing, might be in the steamer. T'he object of the jury’s visit was to ex- amine the bottom of the steamer and to see if she had been scuttled, but in that position it was impossible to make any examination at all. It was then deter- mined to haul her up onto the beach but how to do this was an important question to solve. They finally procured ropes and all hands, including the jury, began to pull away, but she gave way very reluctantly and only moved inch by inch. Many of the boatmen on the lake lent their assistance, increasing the number at the ropes to about forty. ‘The boat was bailed out finally after she was pulled to within fifteen feet of the shore, the chambers between the two hulls still contained water. She floated for an hour or so, which went to show that she contains no hole: No examina- tion was made from the outside of dark- ness interfered, but will be to morrow. The jury returned at 9 o'clock last night, adjourning until to-morrow morning. The Omaha parties who were in the wreck will be examined Monday. enginecr of the The Houses of Mourning.

The body of young Cartwright was yes- terday taken to his home at Weston, Mo, for burial. His brother, Robert, and Mrs, Bell, wife of the Omaha druggist for whom he was at work, accompanied the remains. The Rice Boy. No tidings have been had of the Rice boy and many suppose that he was lost in the wreck. The boy is one who is inclined to ronm about, and has no very fixed habitation,so he may be all right yet. He had been out in the country working for some one, and came into the city the nmight before the disaster. Late that night he appeared at the police station, and as he was well acquainted with the oflicers, they allowed him to remain there. He was just in time to share in their midnight luneh, and when asked why he didn't go to his brother's to sleep, he said he was afraid his brother wouid not let hm go to the picnic at the lake the next day. He had 50 cents with him and this he was saving for the picnic. He had a ticket good for one trip on the Manawa. He slept in the station that night, and 1t is supposed went to the lake the next day as intended. The habits of the boy were such as raise grave doubts about his being in the wreck, for he may have taken a notion to go outin the country again or other~ wise disappear.

Inthe disaster the ecaptain used one of these, leaving three for the thirty yassengers to divide among themselves, 'he boat had no pump to put in use in case of a leak, or water coming over the sides. The more the matter is looked into the more fearfal seems the re- sponsibility that rests upon the maun who would solicit passengérs for such a tub, even on a pleasant day, to say nothing of a stormy night. 1 — Thumping a Tenant. M. Fricl, of Avoca, is the latest victim of the hot blood which has caused several sensational occurrences in the place. His trouble was with W. B, Cuppy, of whom he rents sixty acres of land about a mile east of town, and near where Cuppy lives, The statement of the affair as given by Mr. Friel is that on Wednesday evening, between 8 and 9 o'clock, he was preparing to drive home with the last load of barley, which they had been thrashing that day. The barley bad been divided at the machino, Mr. Cuppy re- ceiving one-thi With Mr. Friel was his boy, & lad of fifteen. The boy was‘opening the gate, and Friel was ariving through when Cuppy appeared on the scene, and in a rage. He seized the horses and backed them into the yard, swearing a big swear that Friel should not take the barley off the place. As a man named Desmond had made the division at the machine, Friel felt that he had only what belonged to him, and in- sisted on taking it. High words ensued. I'ricl was sitting on the high spring seat of the wagon, while Cuppy was standing on the ground at the side” of the wagon During the quarrel Friel says that Cuppy suddenly picked up a round piece of wood, about three feet long, and struck him, knocking him over backwards into the barley. As he fell he hit him the second time on the side of the neck and shoulder. As Kriel lay partially over the seat, and unconscious, the boy started to lift him up, but Cuppy turned on the lad and with an oath threatened to ‘‘knock him cold.” Friel, after laying there a little while, recovered consciousness sufliciently to sit up, and after some more abusive words from Cuppy was allowed to drive out without further molestati The wound inflicted 1s about three inches in length, acrossthe forchead. His eyes are entirely closed and face badly swollen, Friel is much prostrated, and is unable to take nourishment. Dr. Connaughey, the attending physician, says there is no im- mediate danger, and unless inflammation sets in he will be all right. rests have been made as yet. Friel is fifty-six vears of age, and has a family of six children. He is said to be a quiet, in- offensive, hard working man, and there is much sympathy felt for him in the community. - A Mn;ly ivorce Paper. A soiled, pocket-worn petition for a divorce was filed ye: ay in the district court. It had appare been made out originally October 5, 1 and then car- ried around in somebody's, pocket until now, when the date was changed, the in- strument freshly acknowledged and filed. The plaintiffis Ben F. Allison and the defendant Sarah Allison. The original petition set forth that she had threatened to knock his brains out, but the revised edition omitted this and the claim for freedom was based solely on the fact that she had left his bed and board in March, 1884, and had not returned. The certfi- cate of the wife m'ce})linx service was made upon the back of the petition, so that it appears that they have agreed to disagree. —_——— Church Chimes.
