Fitzgibbon, who, she claims, has been #0 given to drink as to forget all her olaims upon him. They were married in 1868, and matters have been going from .bad to worse until she can stand it no longer. A genuine surprise was given those in the council chamber 1dst night by hear- ing Alderman Keller’'s name read, as being one who signed the document setting forth the fact that the fire alarm niltnm was working unsatisfactorily to the city. This is what many supposed but an acknowledgment 1t has been im- possible to get heretotore. The report was signed by Metcalf and Wells also. The Gillingham divorce suit has come to n close, and the case has been decided in favor of Mrs. Gillingham, who 1s restored to her maidenly rights and name, Rev.

An importunt session of the council was held last might. All the aldermen were in their seats at 7:8) o'clock, and each one was busy writing and examin- ing papers, At 7:45 the mayor entered and attentively listened to the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, as he was nbsent in Des Moines when the last session of the council took place. Hon. George F. Wright was on hand be- fore the session was opened, and was supposed to have a new gas ordinance in It Shows Council Bluffs tv Be Grow- ing in Popu on and Balld- ings—A Dive Broken Up— Police Doings, The Dram Major Married, Drum Major Carbee would be nothing it not sensational.

She has also been trying to get a pension from the government on ac- count of her husband’s service in the army. From the time Carbee was brought back here and lodged in jail, she has been a constant visitor and has cared for his wants daily. Yesterday she procured a& marriage license, he not being con- veniently situated for attending to this business, and proceeding to the jail the ceremony was there performed which made here the wife of the gallant major. Rev. Henry DelLong, who has been just enough enthused by the Salvation army work to have a liking for the mili- tary dash, was the officiating clergyman. The cerenlonf was performed in the par- lor of the jail, there being four or five witnesses. Mrs, Arnold Carbee was per- and Council Bluffs paving company was brought up. On rendmfi it quite a dis- cussion arose, during which the report of the recommending the lotting of the paving was asked for. It was dis- covered the report was not on the minutes, which had previously been read, in full, and it excluded the very streets from being Yl\ved that were intended being paved. The minutes were,amended to correspond with the report. Judge James agreed to begin })nvlnz by September 25 and January 1, 888, was fixed as the date of completion, after which they agree to‘ga{ ® forfeit of $10 per day. Alderman Wells offered a resolution excluding certain streets from the contract as he didn’t believe in creating a debt for the next council to meet that was beyond the limt of the mitted to enjoy a _private chat with her | jaw.

On a vate, Wells’ resolution was agreed to by a split in the usual vote, Danforth, Hammer, Keller and Wells voting aye, and Metcalf and Lacy nay. The resolution excludes Fourth street from Worth street to Eleventh avenue: Harrison street from Washington avenue to lot No. 51; Washington avenue from the west side of Harrisun streetto the cast side of Harrison street; Glen avenue from High School avenue to the reservoir. 1t was then stated that the paving company had already slfinud the contract and it was awaiting the signature of the mayor. Judge James then said he didn’t know as the company would accept the charge and wanted until this evening to decide. The comm:ttee reported favorably upon the bid of G. 8. Lawson for build= ing the patrol house for $1,85. Con- curred in, It is to be built upon the lot between the city hall and the ci;y ‘]x\il. A committee composed of " Meteaif, Wells and _ Keller recommended that the Richmond fire alarm company settlement be deferred, as the system is not working atall satisfactorily. It was passed unanimously. An ordinance granting right of way to the Pacitic and lb'; company, was read a first and second time and passed unanimously, in order to allow of the building of the line im- mediately, as the company have some of their material in the city now. An ordinance granting the right of way to the Burdette & Loomis gas and electric company was read afirst and second time and referred to the commit- tee of the whole. The prices are $23 to the public and $1.75 to the city for gas. Keller said this was a new ordinance and several others would probably be vresented. This created quite a laugh, which was enjoyed by George ¥. Wright, An ordinance zmnliflf the right of u Ol e el The 8chool Census. The taking of the school census has just been completed, and the showing is one which corroborates the other proofs that the city is gaining in popuiation steadily and surely. The following is the census by ward. Fourth... Total........ Last year Increase . . L O T In many cities the school census is used as a basis of figuring out the population on the ratio of five to one. At the usual basis of three and a half, however, the showing is sufliciently encouraging. By this rate it would app.ar that Council Blufls has a ‘mpulntion of 80,184, and that it has gained in population during the past year 2,313, If tigured outin accor- dance with the boom way of estimating. so prevalent in other cities, Council Bluffs can claim a population of 43,120, and an increase of 3,305 during the past year. « Those who took the census also made a count of the number of houses in process of construction or just being finished during the time the census was being taken, a périod of two or three weeks. it was found that the number reached 209. ‘T'his is, of course, much smaller than the number of new houses rut up during the Yyear, and embraces only those as stated. This fact coupled with the well-known fact that there are hardly any houses to rent, and the difficulty in nunplying the demand for houses, shows that Council Bluffs is having a growth far 1n excess of most cities. With these figures there is no need of guess work or_of blow. The growth shows for itself. It is a healthy Rrowth as well. S A way to the Council ffle Gas Light Sharp Police Points, company was read a first and second Judge Aylesworth had his usual Mon- | time and referred to committee of the day morning batch yesterday. A broad faced, good natured German farmer, August Meyer, beamed up before his honor, booked for being drunk and for burglary. J. W. Walker, the standard bearer for the Salvation army, was the one who caused his arrest. Walker was awakened Sunday night by hearing some one open his front door, and rushing out he grabbed this man, and began shouting for the police, who came and took care of him, The farmer laughed at the idea of his being taken for a burglar, and ex- pluined that he had loaded up pretty freely with beer, and felt like rounding up the town. He was ntending to visit some frail females, and thought he had struck the right place, but when he opened the door, which kad been left un- locked, he was firuhbad a8 a burgilar. Some of his friends were present to give proof as to his being a sturdy yeoman, and the judge let him go with "a tine for being drunk. “dwin Duggan was noticed prowling about the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy depot, and as some clothing was missin from the baggage room he was arrested on suspicion. He claimed to be a Knight of Labor in fuod standing, and_ha traveling card from Pittsburg. He was held for a little further inquiry, there being no positive proof of his crooked- ness, There were twoJohn Smiths. One was a painter and had been doing the town n red. He paid for a ride in the patrol wagon. The other was a Swede who had tramped around the First ward until the people there had got tired of him. He was gent to jail for thirty days. James Knox, a young man arrested on suspicion and for vagrancy, gave the i;ulge a long account of his wanderings. e pretended that he had been work- ing on a farm, but when he was cross-examined, and told about sowing oats, and then plowing them under, the judge rather smiled as he asked him if he waited for the oats to come up. This fellow had worked steadily but had to send all his money to a widowed mother, and there being two such cases in a day, the usual average, the judge raised the query as to how it was that all the boys whose fathers were dead, run |wni and leave their mothers when they think so much of them as to send them all their wages. No one being ready to give the needed information, the young man was held for furtherinvestigation. —_— Vieit the new jeweler, C. Voss, No. 415 Broadway, if you wish anything in his line.

A Man Witha Pecul{ar Penchant for Train- ing Bpiders. A WHISKEY-DRINKING INSECT. “Jim Blaine's’ Peculiarities—Some Well Trained ‘Spiders—The Pe- culiar tndustry of an Eccentric Man, Jir N Alta California: *That's Tom Schand- ley, the tarantula trainer,” said Charley Rhodes, the urbane clerk of the Grand hotel, to an Alta reporter yesterday. As he epoke he pointed to a short, stout man dressed in a light smt, who stood at the other end of the hotel counter. ‘‘A tarantula trainer,” remarked the reporter, inquiringly. “That’s it exactly,” was the reply, ‘he makes a specialty of training tarantulas and spiders,. He was almost crazy on snakes, but now he apvears to be wrapped up in the education of spiders. Talk to him; he can probably tell you an interesting story.” ‘The reporter acted upon the sugges- tion. An introduction to Mr. Schandley followed. *Yes,”” said Mr. Schandley, “I must admit that I'm what some people term me—a crank on spiders. I like the crea- tures and never tire of studying their habits. Solomon of old advised the lazy man to study the ways and manners of the ant. Ldon't care to pose as a rival of Solomon as a dispenser of wisdom,but I will waintain that the spider can teach a better 1dea of indusiry than any ant that ever lived. I've watched the crea- tures. An ant runs about all day and puts in all its time hunting for the hole where it lives. In contrast to the actions of the ant, the spider spins a web, and at least makes a showing us to what it can do: If you will come to my room I'll show you some of my pets.” ‘The reporter willingly accepted the 1n- vitation, and before an hour had expired he did not regret the time which he de- voted to his new acquaintance. “Here's my favorite spider,” said Mr. Schandley, as he placed a cigar box with holes bored in the top on the table. He threw back the lid and disclosed the oc- cupunt of the box, which was an ugly, hairy tarantula. As the light was thrown upon the tarantuls 1t began to move its joints and cavort around the boxin a maunner that would cause a timid woman to go into hysterics. * The reporter drew back as the savage looking creature dis- played a tendeucy to-creep out ot the box. Oh, don't be afraid of Tim. I call him Tim O’'Brien, you Kknow,” said Mr. Schandley; “'it's odly a nickname. He can’t hurt you. I'vé drawn the poison rom his nippers. , Come, ‘L'im,” urd to the horror of the reporter, Mr. Schandley reached his hand out and allowed the tarantula to crawl put upon it. A tar- antula 1s not a very handsome or pleas- g specimen of an ammul under any circumstances, but it causes u shudder to come over the ordinary man to see one dragging its hairy form over the hund of a human being. Mr. Schandley allowed the creature to crawl around Lus ingers and it worked its way up lus coat sle It stopped when near Mr. Schandley elbow and cocked its eyes up at tje re- porter in what the latter cousidered a wicked manner, *Go back to your box, Tim,” com- manded ‘Lim’s master in harsh tones, and to the reporter’s surprise the animal quickly turned and smeiled over its own- er’s hund and dropped 1nto the cigur box. “I haye him well trained, you see,” laughed the trainer of turantulus as he closed the lid on Mr. O’Brien, “‘but I'll show you another specimen. Here 1s Jim Blaine.” Mr. Scandley vpened an- other box and exposed to view a reddish- brown tarantula, 1t was a lively cus- tomer, and as soon as the lid of tue box was thrown off 1t fairly leaped out upon the table. The reporter sprang back, “Don’t be alarmed,” said the trainer,and he seized **Jim Blaine” around the body. The namesake of the republican leader kicked and stroggled as hard as his hu- man prototype did in 1884, when he heard that New York had gene back on him, “Jim 18 a Texas boy and the dandy of s kind. Just feel him,” ‘L'he reporter requested to be excused from feeling “Jim.” ‘**Ihe only faling that Jim has is that of dringing whisky and he is a contirmed toper.’ **Drinks whisk, “Yes, sirree. LUll prove it.” Mr, Schandley laid Jim back in his box and closed the lid. He took a bottle of whisky from the stand, and saturatad a smal sponge with the alcoholic stimulant. *L'll put this in with Jim and let him wrestle with it,”’ said Mr. Schandley. And he dropped the sponge in the box, ‘A queer business I'm in¥” said the tarantula trainer, in reply to a question thrown out by the reporter. *“‘Yes, it is. Money in it? Yes. 1 was a snake hunter in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, about fifteen years ago. 1 made considerable money out of 1t, but the rattlers got kind of scarce, and 1 followed Horace Gree- ley's advice and came west. When 1 was in Texas I got an idea that tarantu- las could be trained, and L started in. was successful, and soon had about fitty of the ugliest devils of tarantulas that would do almost anything. Of course L drew their poison, 80 that there was no danger to be incurred in handling them, 1took 'em to New York and sold em, Who bought thew? Well the greater part of them . were purchased by saloonkeepers, who wanted to attract custom by exhibiting them on their bars, Some of them Isold to ladies who had a vent of mind something like Bernhardt, ‘I'ney made pets out of them. ILtell you that there are at least a dozen Murray Hill beiles who keep their pet tarantulas with their lap dogs how. 1 gotvery zood prices from them for a tarantula that was well trained and would not betray any viciousness, Some of the brutes can never be trained. They will bite. Noj; 1 don't exactly make a living out of selling tarantulas, but I am always willing to accommodate any ane who wants cne of the animals. I've got about eighteen taran- tulas now. I hope toinaugurate a craze among the ladies for the creatures, If I can get up aboom you'll see women promenad:ng on Market street on Satur- days with their (gt tarantulas on their arms. A small blue ribbon around their waists is what keeps them in pluce, The novelty or the thing 18 taking. By the way, let us look at Jim Blaine,” " Mr, Schandley opened the Blaine box, The sponge and ri Blaine were lying en rapport. Mr. Blaide was helpless. "The sponge was dry. ie had eucked every drop of hquor from it. Mr. Schandley turned Mr. Blaine outupon the table, but he was like achunkof wood. Onlya spasmodic quivering of his joiuted legs afioweu that he was alive, > *‘Ah, he's royslly drunk,” said Mr. Schandley, laughing. ‘“He'd get this way every day if I'd let bim. But it's about once a week I give him liquor. [ always think that it must have been an nmmslv like Jim that gave rise to the name tarantula juice. He is the onl: spider I ever had outof many that could get to touch liquor. How long does it take to train a tarantula? Oh not over two weeks. You'd be surprised to know what a comprehension the ugly brutes have. They can be trained easier than a dog."" Mr, Schandley then showed the reporter eight other tarantulas that were under- - THE OMAHA DAILY BEEK: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1887. going courses of training. They all seemed to recognize certain sounds which he mude. *Jim Blaine won't besober until morn- In‘¢," said Mr. Schandley, as the reporter edged toward the door to escape three or four tarantulas that were ruunlng around loose. “If you know any one who wants a pet tarantula just refer him to me, I'll be in town several weeks."’ The reporter promised to see that any friend of his*who was hungering to become the mnster of a trained tarantula should get a “‘tip"” where to go to pur- chase one. . —_—— A, CRAZY LOT. What Would The Worla Have Done Without Them If one would listen now-a-days to the alienists and the neurologists, many of the more noted men of genius were crazy. Dr. C. H, Hughes, once superin- tendent of the Fulton lunatic asylum, and a man who ranks among the fore. most in the dingnosis, treatment and cure of all remote or agite nervous troubles, publishes a quarterly journal in 8t. Louis entitled The Alienist and Neu- rologist. In the July number Dr. James G. Kiernan, of Omimago, has a very pe- culiar article under the head of “Genius Not a Neurosis,” To illustrate his theory in this respect and make logically plain his arguments, he declares that anho, Lucretius, Marlowe, Ben Johnson, Wych- erly, Tasso, Moliere, Swift, Pope, Defoe, Rousseau, Golpsmith, Samuel Johnson, Savage, Cowpar, Byron, Walter Scott, Colctrid‘i;q, DeQuincey, Rogers Southey, Shelley, Emerson, Saxe, Poe ana Victor Hugo all suffered from insanity. Then Dr. Kiernan goes on to analyze the inganity of each, to sustain its tause and to show why such insanity was not a neurosis or nerve trouble. Ben Johnson's insanity came from fiout Sappho's from sexual perversions. unyou’s from sexunl defects of the body. Wycherley's from debauchery. Tasko’s from heredity. Swift's from an acute nerve disease of the middle ear. Molier’s from arilcpsy. Pope’s from a wunt of physcial development. Defo's trom age. Rousseav, like Pope, was the victim of the unequal developement of mind and body at boyhood. Samuel Johnson’s from inheritance. Scott’s from white softening of the brain, Byron's from his family. Southey’s and Roger’s fiom the breaking down of brain tiber. Coleridge’s from opium and De Quincey’s also. Kmer- son’s from appoplexy. Poe's from strong drink. Saxe’s frum what is known ately as ‘“‘railroad spine.” Vietor Hogo's directly from an insane ancestry. After getting through pretty well with the poets, our doctor next takes up Oliver Cromwell, Peter the Great, the elder Pitt and Napoleon Bonaparte among states- men. Luther, Paseal and Swedenbor among theologians. Plato, Socrates and Schoppenhauer among philosophers. Newton among scientists. The elder Booth, John Wilkes Booth, G. L. Fox, John McCullough and Bartley Campbell among actors. Paginini among musi- ciuns. Cromwell was insane at times from mala Peter the Great from dis- sipation.
