Bee The Notorious "Major” Wants Damages THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS, For Fi Imprisonment. POLICE STILL FIND SINNERS. The Clab to Be Not Only For Pleasure But Business—The Lost Grad- ing Resolution—Uncle A Social Board of Trade. There is some talk of forming a new board of trade, or at least a reorganiza- tion of that body. By previous experi- ence it has been shown that a board of trade in Council Bluffs, as well as other cities, amounts to very little. In this city there has been lttle work done by the board compared with what a body of that kind could have done had it had the enthusiasm necessary to back it, The club has been organized by the busi- ness men of this city, and besides bein, on a good financial basis it is compose of the very best business material in the city. Its rooms are conveniently and luxuriously arranged for the reception of visitors to this city, and there seem few if any objections to letting the club do the work supposed to be attended to by a board of trade. The club rooms are as clegantly furnished as those of any city in the west, and although, perhaps, not as spacious as the rooms of the Omaha club, they are as elegant m their appointments. The merchants and professional men meet here, and knowing it to be to their in- terest, they can constitute themselves a board of trade and use their influence in the proper direction. It is in_their rooms and through their hospitality that the weak spot in a manufacturer’s heart can be reached, and many a manufacturer can, when pruperli/ approached, secured for Couneil Bluffs. Manufactur- ing 18 what the city necds and there :lut:im no good reason why it cannot be ad. It has proved almost impossible at times to get even a quorum of the old board of trade to attend a meeting. Not no(n:gln will pass without there being a goodly number of representative busi- ness men, who can be easily gathered at the club rooms,to consult on any matters of public moment, and take the imtial steps. B SR TTNEEN Human Frailties. Business in Judge Aylesworth's court yesterday morning was about as usual. Joseph Mahoney, a homesick Minrneupo- lis youngster of seventeen, charged with vagrancy, was diseharged, as he said he would immediately start for home and profit by the good advice given him. Frank Motter, alias “Svot,” a hack- driver, was taxed $21.30 for assault and battery. The victim of his surgical skill was Williem Jefleries, whose scalp he laid open, the instrument used being a wagon wrench. When informed of the amount of his fine he expressed a desire to have Jefferies arrested on the same charge and his wish was gratitied. James Owens, a farmer of Oak township, Mills county, was charged with bemng drunk. He told a story of the unfortunate affl tion that caused the extreme unste ness of his legs and the pain in his head, but admitted that he had been in a saloon for an hour just previous to his ar- rest. His honor said he had no wish to fine a man for sickness, and discharged him with the advice to keep away from even the smell of whisky hereafter, as the odor seemed to make his ailmet worse. James Adams came up smiling, and in answer to the fudzo‘s quefi', said he had slept very well indeed. He was regis- tered as”the “‘umberell man” the previ- ous m;iht, but now gave his proger name and said he was a tinner from Syracuse, N. Y. Headmitted that he was very drunk when_arrested, and had money to ny u fine. When invited to contribute 8.10 to help the cause along he wanted his fine remitted, and promised to leave forthwith for Fremont, Neb., where he has work, but the incredulous judge was afraid he could not withstand the en- treaties of friends in Omaha, and would not have it so, D The Lost Grading. The resolution at the last meeting of the council, calling for the grading of Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets, was declared lost. The vote stood three to two, Aldermen Wells, Metcalf and Lucy voting for the resolution, and Aldermen Kelier and Danforth voting against it. The vote was declared by Alderman Wells, who was presiding, as lost on the ground that it required two-thirds of the council to vote 1n its favor. The alder- men who voted against the resolution justify themselves in doing so on the ground of economy, wanting to save the city from the expense of the inter- sections, On the other hand it is claimed, with a good showing of sense, that the resolution would have secured a l:\rfic amount of improvement with littie outlay from the city’s funds. The real effect of the resolution is to cowmpel railroad companies to fill in their yards and tracks ond raise them to rade. Mayor Groneweg i8_of the opin- on that the resolution should have been declared carried, as there were three votes for it and only two againstit, which, under the rules, as he construes them, carried the resolution. The fire system wus accepted by a resolution passed by such a vote exactly, If ons was void the other was. Thereis a dif- ference, under the rules, between im- provements petitioned h& by the prog- erty-owners and those ordered by the council of their own accord. e The Major W a Pension, The statement has been going the rounds of the Iowa press that Dr. Cross was trying to get the state of Iowa to grant him money enough to recompense him in part, at least, for the damages he had sustained by beiug arrested and tried for the murder of Dr. McCuue. Most of those papers which have commented on the claim have coriticized it very sharply, but this does not seem to have dampened the ardor of “‘Major" Williams, the cons tilence man who was arrested aand tried for killing Hughes in the old Union Ave- nue hotel. He has kept very shady since he was acquitted and allowed no time to be wasted in putting a safe distance bes tween himself and Council Bluffs, He still keeps his whereabouts a secret but writes a very touching letter in regard to his situation: To My Councli Bluffs Friends (that s, if I have any): 1 happened to come across a aper by which 1 learn that Dr. Cross 18 mov- ng to get the state of Iowa to give him dam- ages on account of his hnlng been 1mpris- oned and sentenced to be hung, and after- wards declared not guilty. 1 am glad to learn that there is fair prospect of his bein iven his claim. He oufhl to get at leas ‘m.om. I wouldn’s want to go through such an experience as that for half that amount, and the doctor 18 twice a8 good a man as ] am. He suffered moro than I did. He was tried twice, If I remember right, and one time was found gulity and en‘:u very tretch, bul t & '3 uitted. w’hlll an 1 would not have one cen! ff his allow- ance, yet I feel that my allowance should be as much as his, for while he suffered more, yot he did not suffer as unjustiy as [ did. 1 was locked up in the county jail for a lom, time, was tried as & murderer, withou even going on the stand myself, 1 was ac- uitted. No jur; huovu:nldtl'm‘{ull& . Riinar put proved dnat ho 'qid. 1t 10 seit de- une, but pro a o Hughes, fense. I neyer admitted that 1} There were many who said I shot Hughes down In cold blood, and some believe it now, but they did not swear to it positivel euough "to convict me, and I never admit that I killed him at all. 1 have always held myself to be Innocent, ‘and no judicial has sald I was gulilty, ‘The county has had to spend about $10,000 in trying Dr. Cross, but one trial was all 1 had, and that a cheap sort of affalr, 80 far as the county was concerned. Underall these circumstances I think I am justly entitled to as much damages as the doctor. Further than this [ really need the nioney more than the doctor. He has a better pro- fession than I. ‘I'he confidence business is rather unprofitable now. It has had too much free advertisment. I think that the state of lowa would give me half of what 1 think the doctor exrets $500.000 1 would be satistied, I could then start & savings bank, and after a while could gather up a stake in the usual method. If you could see me in my present deplorable condition, and realize the scarcity of suckers, I am sure you would take pity on me, and urge the grand state of Iowa to pension me liberally. -~ Please get up a petition to the governor, and_help me get this tbrough.

The bids for finishing up the interior of the new government building were given in yesterday's telegraph col- umns of the Bee. It appears that the Council Bluffs bidders were several thousand dollars above others, and the contract therefore will doubtless go away from home. The bids include the whole interior finishing, plastering, lathing, hardware, marble work, iron work, carpente "’f' ete. The con- tractor, whoe he m1g be, cannot begin work until the plumbing is done.

Notwithstanding the outward weather of last evening Masonic temple was fairly filled with those who are laboring for the establishment of a Chautauqua assembly here. President L. W. Tulleys presided aud stirring addresses were delivered by Rev. D. H. Cooley, Rev. Dr., Phelps, Rev. T. J. Mackay, Mr. L. W. Ross and others. The advantages to be secured were ably and fully presented. Letters were read showing the success that has already at- tended similar institutions elsewhere. Questions were freely asked and an- swerd enlightening those who were not h{ personal experience familiar with Chautauana work. Altogether the meet- ing was rather informal than otherwise, but great impetus was given the work on hand, and 1ts details, leading to a al consummation of this earnestly wished for result, will be the more ardently prosecuted. Music was interpersed by a quartette constituted of Miss Fanny Wes- cott, Messrs. Paul Tulleys and Frank and Perry Badollet. —_— The Federal Court, The United States district court for the southern district of lowa convened here yesterday morning aad will be in ses- sion the greater part of the week.

But when he saw the patrol wagon lhe sob- ered up and informed the police that he would walk to jail. *“I won't ride in that wagon,” he said. “I shall not pay for it, if 1do. Remember [ am willin;: to walk and will refuse to pay for the ride.”” He evidently knew that the ride to jail would cost him 50 cents extra.

She leaves a family of eight children. ‘The funeral will take piace from St. Fran- cis Xavier church at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Friends are invited to the funeral without further notice. S The Government of Cities. Scribner for October: If popular gov- ernment and universal suffrage are to have any real meaning, the people must be placed in a position to know what is going on; whereas all our present ar- rangements, whether by the secrecy of committee rooms, or by that of executive officials, who never appear before the putlic at all, are such that the people never know anything of that with respect to which they are yet expected to judge aud to decide. .In the New Englandtown meeting, the sclectmen appear once or twice a year before the whole assembly of the inhabitants,and are cross-examined by ndividuals. The test is so scvere, and the judgment follows 80 swiftly at the elections, that corrup- tion and even political intrigue are almost unknown. When a town becomes too large for such a meeting, the change is made to a vity government with one or two representative councils. In theory these councils should do the work of the town meeting—that is, watch the course of administration, enforce responsibility, and keep the people in- formed, In practice they get possession of a large part of the administration, break up and destroy ronronslhllily. and effectually conceal both their own doings and those of the executive. The offset and safeguard n entrusting extensize powers to & mlinr is in providing a ribunal before which he and his agents nm*yI promptly, easily and continuously be held to publ{o account, Ifa body of one or two hundred men from all parts of New York were to assemble, say once # month,being debarred by law from any terference with administration, having no power to dictate any action or to vote any appropaiation except upon proposal of the executive, but with full power of suggestion, of criticism, and of veto; if the mayor and his chief ofticials were to appear publicly before this body at each session to submit their plans, answer questions, and ask for votes of money, the people would be perfectly able to judge of the character and ac- tions of “their servants, and to express their opinions at the polls. Then, and not till then, ean we hold universal suf- frage responsible for fuilure of govern- ment. R Are you weak and weary, overworked and tired?

Philadelphia Herald: One of the many pleasant incidents during the centennial celebration last weck due to the open hearted hospitality shown by citizens to visitors occurred on Friday, and 1s worthy of note. Charles Hanger, of Cheyenne, came east to take part in the exercises, bring- ing with him two nieces from Davenport, In. They started out on Friday to view the parade, the first object being to obtain oo pmldanl without being compelled to stand in the crowd, On passing the southwest corner of ‘Chirteenth and Chestnut streets, Mr. Hanger observed some workmen erecting seats in the show window of the store of Thackara Sons & Co. He offered to bear the expense of their construction for the use of three seats, Charles Thackara, of the firm, was summoned, and learning where the visitors were from generously offered them seats and gave them every attention possible. One of the young ladies happened to address Mr, Hanger as‘‘Uncle Charlie” while Mr. Thackara was present. The fact of them bearing the same Christian name was commented upon as a rather singular coincidence, particularly as they had been born on the same day. “Are you a married man?” inquired Mr. Thackara of his new-found friend. “Iam,” was the reply. I was married on the 27th day of May, 1872." “That's singular. That's the day on which I was married. My wife’s name is Ida.” “‘So is mine,” almost shouted the west- erner, ‘‘Have you any children?” ‘‘Yes, 1 have one son.” o have 1. What's your boy’s name?”’ “Fred.” *‘Well, this is the most singular thing [ ever heard of. That's my boy’s name, too.” The comparison ended _here, however, for Master Hanger was born nine days before Master Thackara. The singular circumstance of the two men bearing the same christiann name; being born and married on the same days; both murrying ladies bearing the same name, and each having but one son, and these sons hearing the same name, was the principal subject of con- versation in a group of friends who occu- pied the windows in Thackara’s store for the remainder of the day, and the acei- dental acquaintance of the gentlemen will no doubt ripeninto a friendship which will continue through the remain- der of their lives. Complexion Powder 18 an absolute neccssit‘y ot the refined toilet in this cli- mate. Pozzoni’s combines every element of beauty and purity. e An Eccentric Englishman. (GALVESTON, young Englishman arrivi y to-night and registered at'a hotel as Carter ;. Gordon, from Savannah, Ga. Shortly after he created quite a sensation by walking up and down the principal streets clad in knee breeches, a peoked straw hat, and a huge cape overcoat, although the weather was sultry. His eccentric conduct soon attracted atten- tion, particularly a8 he was lavish with money, slapping down $100 bills for trif- ling articles and uecnnin(lz to accept any change. 1t appears that he arrived from England a few months ago, burdened with more money than he knew what to do with, and to gratify a singular freak made a bee-line for Texas. Hearing that the town of Ballinger was a good place at which to invest capital in lands he quickly went there and caused consider- able astonishment by not only buys lands, but by buying almost every: thing in the city. He purchased a train of@wagons, purchased all the guns and rifles and pistols in the town, hired a number of men to serve him, and then ?‘lfixmizee a force tohunt Indians and buf- 0. Such is a history of his earlicst exploits. ‘The Indian hunting scheme fell through, however, and the eccentric_young Eng- lishman took a trip to San Francisco and soon left that city for Georgia. He was evercome with a desire to see Texas again, however, and he explained his ac- tion tonight by saying that he was par- ticularly impressed with Galveston, and thought he’d buy out several wealthy syndicates. Whatever truth there may be in his story, he certainly seems to be overstocked with money. Occasionally he would be surrounded by curious roups on the street corners, and before [eaving them he would present two or three in the crowd with a roll of bills. H e said to the Globe-Democrat corres- pondent that his next objective point was St. Louis, wiere he intended to be during the Grand Army encampment, and where he intended spending bushels o fmoney. e How the Chinese Scare the Devil, San Francisco Examiner: The begin- mng of the annual Chinese festival known as ‘‘Ghee Koung Tung’ took lace at the joss house of the Ghee ng_ Tung society, in Spofford ulley. The alley was ablaze with cundles and sandal paper which emitted malodorous fumes. At the entrance of the joss house were two giant figures made of paper, repre- sentin, T’ent potentates of a former period. Inside, candles and punks were burning amid decorations of most bril- hant colored pavers, giving it a most de- cidedly oriental appearance. On a plat- form in front of each of their special idols were all the fruits of the season— candles, cakes and other chinese luxur- iqls]. Sandal wood was burning on every side. Promptly at 12 o'clock midnight, a rocession formed in front or the joss house, headed by several pagans bearing burning wood on a wire screen, witn which they lit the prepared parcels com- posed of punks and greasy paper, which were placed in front of each door on the line of march. After this came the lan- tern-carriers, followed by the prominent members of the society, who were dressed in long gowns and a peculiar shaped turban hats on their heids; About a dozen Chinese children were in the wake of the procession, aso in holiday attire, The latter ure known us the Ghee Koung Fung Cheng Tsing or the societies' altar boys. After marching around Dupont, Wushlngrun and Clay streets, and th alleys abounding in 'that neighborhood, they re-entered the joss house and the feasting began. The festival lasts four days, and each day frem two to three hundred China- men are fed gratis, The festival is an ancient one, and isheld at every city where Chinamen who belong to the so- ciety abound. The Ghee Koung Tung festival isa feast in honor of the great dead. The burning of the papers, eandles and punks 18, it is said, to keep the evil spirit away from the living as well as the dead. This religious society is the richest as well as the most werful amongst the Chinese. From $5,000 to $10,000 are spent every renr in this city in the idolatrous festiv- ty. This fund consists of contributious from members of the society. LATEST B.—Wait till 1 get my sartout, with ye. BY T J.~Say! Isthere a fire any wheret There's an awful crowd rushing up the street.
