Looking at Bricke. Several of the leading citizens were yesterday seen standing on the crossing of Broadway and Main street looking down to a little spot between the street car tracks, as if searching for some lost coin or trinket. Then they would stand erect, discuss some topic with evident vigor, and then examine the street again. The explanation of the curious sight proved to be that these citizens were ex- amining the hitle patch of brick paving, if 80 it may be called. Three years ago an old cistern was covered over there, and the brick on top has served as a bit of brick paving. It 18 in one of the most travelled porttons of the city, and has had such wear and tear as could hardly have been given it elsewhere. The article in yesterday’'s Beg called the attention of many to this litt it of brick work, for it has escaped gene bservation until the question of bricl aving came up. How has it stood the rumbie of wheels during th ars? It bears evidence that it has been little af- fected. Still there is but a little spot, not suflicient to answer satisfactorily the many questions concerning the advisa- bility of using brick pavement. City Engincer Tostevin was seen yes- terday, and an attempt made to question him. "I’ just driven todeath. "Am too busy to give you what I have. I have been hunting up this question of brick ing some, and have got a lot of infor- mation, which 1 will gladly give you when I get time. My impression is that it is the coming pavement. The main question seems to me to be whether the clay here is of the right kind. It is different from that used east, where they are so enthusiastic about brick paving, but still | am inclined to believe that the right kind of bricks can be made right here.” : T. M. Walker, ot Des Moines, writes in rl-%:nrd to the same question: A good many brick men have insisted that there was no clay here that would answer the purpose, but that theory has been effectuaily exploded in face of the fact that two Des Moines men have found clay within or near the city limits, and it has proven even_ supe- rior to that used for the same purpose in Iili- nois. A specimen both of this and of the Bloomington brick can be seen at mv officeat any time, Bloomington has used this pave- ment for ten years with such_entire satisfac- tion that it has discarded all other Kinds. And now Peoria, Spria:field, Galesburg, De- catur and other lllinois cities are adonting it. One gentleman sent a quautity of Des Moines clay to Galesburg and had it burned there the other was burned at the lowa tile works on the t side. 1t is almost like iron. A company is now being organized here for the Tuh-knunmu of manufacturing street paving brick. “The people are waking up to the fact that block pavement at best 15 only a temporary atfair, and the dearest kind that can be laid, and to the further fact that nearly all the money paid out for it is not kent "here, but goes to Chicago or other places outside this city and state. We are simply sapping the lite out of our own town when we send v our capital to pay for that which can r be produced at howme. 1t we would our eity grow we must utilize all the re- sources within our reach, I am quite certain that it is (ml{ a matter of very short time when the block pavement will not be tolerated in the city and when brick pave- ment will be the only kind used or wanted. gl e The Wake of the Circus. Business was quite brisk in Judge Aylesworth’s justice dispensary yester- day morning, owing to the large number of erooks who always follow a large cir- cus. Philip Reagan, of Burlington, and A. E. Emerson, of Waterloo, N. Y., were each sentencea to fiftecen days’ work in the court house yard. Emerson claimed to be an educated gentleman, having at- tended school until twenty-three years of In answer to the court’s query as ow far advanced he was in mathe matics, he said that he had been as far as ezmals,” and was pretty good in sub- ction and long division.

Will “Smith and Johnny Howley were two Muscatine sixteen-year-olds who ran away from home about two months ago, and 1n order that their cup of experience might be full and running over the court gave them three days in jal, them to get homeé as soon 43 poss after their release.

Ex-Congressman Pusey said he thought it would be best to try to head hin off before he got to Omaha as he comes to Omaha from St. Paul. He advocated catching the party at the Broadway de pot of tfie Northwestern railway and as- sure them that they would be returned to the train in time to go to Umaha. A committee composed of the mayor, Alderman Lacy, M. Gauit, Judge James, Postmaster Bowman and Alder: man Wells were appointed to try to make arrangement for the erpu.m of receive ing the president and of making some arrangements by which he could stop in this city for an hour at least, The ‘mayor and Aldermen Wells and Lacy are to go to St. Louis and meet the presidential party, while the balance of the committee are to find out the ar- rangements of the railroad company upon arrival in this city ana hereafter arrange plans. The mecting adjourned to meet at the call of the committee —— The Hotel Manawa. y morning S, P. Mac Connell, of the Chicago Lumber company, took forcible possession of Hotel Manawa. It appears that Mac Connell went to Atchi- son Saturday night last to see the noted builder of Hotel Mauawa and if possible do something towards completing the de- tails in settlement. He hunted high and low for the man of famein Council Blufts —Frank Clark. But to his utmost aston- ment Clark was unknown to the resi- dents of Atchison., Even at the hoteis no tra of Clark or Lamphere could be Yesterd ] found. The residents had heard some- thing of a proposed motor line but no Clark. As Frank Clark was a name familiar to even the children of Council Bluffs, MacConnell became dis« gusted and was sbout to give up his hunt when he discovered the famous builder of hotel Manawa and his friend, Mr. Lamphere, who professed to be con- nected with llua building of the motor line in this ci ut who would now probably deny any$uch statement, from the very fact that 1o one scems to think there is a motor line here. It was learned that Lamphere and Clark, that being the proper position tor their names to appear in print, were really building a motor line in Atchison, Lamphere being foreman and Cla time-keeper of the grading gang. Clark refused for some reason to accept MacConnell's propositions and MacCon- nell returned home on Tuesday and con- cluded he'd step into Hotel Manawa quietly and be lord and master ot all he surveyed, even to the ground the hotel is upon. ‘T'his blunt announcement mav be dis- vleasing to some of Clark’s smaller itors, but for the time and crey being, at the Chicago Lumber -tenths of the law in ssi0n have been placed in po: of the hotel and the building will be guarded night and day. Mr. MacConnell has a lien of $4,600 upon the building as weil as a contract for the land upon whic hotel stands and a chance for a warranty deed when a balance of $3,550 cash has been paid for the land, Under existing circumstances, Connell could get no insurance u hotel and he now hopes to be able to in- sure the place, as he has watchmen there. By so doing he also guards against further damage by mischievouas person What the plan ¢ for his running the hotel as a winter resort does not appear, but as a l{l:ul:u{«‘l‘ it is hoped he ul. gs have been commenced to foreclose the lien upon the hotel, but when it will be reached in the district court is unknown. Frank Clark has als against MacConnell for § MacConnell Mac- pon t entered suit The Shrievalty Plum, The friends of A.F.

His wide acquaintan nd long residence make his name one which is looked upon with favor, and his exper- ience certainly fits him for the position, should he be elected. For four years he was deputy sherift under Reel, and tor four years under Gutar, and he since been two years a constable of Gar- ner township, His name has before been within a few votes of being placed on the ticket, but he laia aside his claims for others. His friends are_many, and they are urging his name with considerable energy. ‘There 15 no doubt but that if nominated he would prove a strong man to help pull the ticket through. It is understood that Snherift Reel will not accept of a renomination. It scems conceded that Deputy Sheriff O'Neil stands the beat chance of any to get the democratic nomination. He is one of the best officers the county ever had, and if nominated would make it hot for his republican opponent.

Upon invitation of Mayor Groneweg a number of prominent democratic citizens met in the aldermanic chamber at 7:30 o'clock last evening for the purpose of making some arrangements for the re. ception of President Cleveland upon his visit to this city. There were present about fifty gentlemen, among whom were 1. Campbell, jr., United States deputy marshal. The mayor at 8 o’clock called the meet- ing to order and said: “[ have taken the liboety of calling this meeting for the purpose of making proper preparations for the reception of Presis dent Cleveland on his visit to ths city. He then had the following letter from the president read by Mr. Troutman: E UTIV ANSION, WASHINGTON, . 7, IsT.—Hon. William Groneweg, or, Courcil Bluffs, [a.—Dear Sir: 1 have received the invitation Kindly tendered me on behalf of the citizens of Council Bluffs to visit that city during my visitto the west and south and have caretully considered the pos- sibility of its acceptance, 1n determining the places among the many to which I have been invited where the lim- ited time at my disposal would permit me to stop 1 have been guided somewhat be‘-u& sire to meet the convenience of the largest number of people and as the ngewments of the plans for the trip which cannot be changed without interfering with the en- tire schedule, will only permit me to rewain in your locality about an hour, it was deemed best to make the stop in Owaha. 1 regret much that circumstances are such as to provent e from visiting voth ecities and assure you the invitation from Council Bluffs is none the less appreciated on ac- count of the impracticability ot its accept- ance. Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND, The mayor said upon reception ot the above letter several gentlemen held a consultation and thought it best to write to Colonel Keatley in Washington, and see if the president could not so arrange it that the presidential party could spend an hour at least in this city, and in re- ply Colonel Keatley writes that the presi- l stop in Council Bluffs, dent cannot, under any circumstances, That he will go to be a warm one, if the two r put up, and it is safe to bet that neither would be distanced. —— A Charley Ko The location of the sewer connection with the city jail seemed to ~gitate most everybody who went near the city jail or city building yesterday, as well as all the aldrmen,. surveyors, engineers and the sewer builders. For some unaccountable reason no con- nection could be found, although two excavations over nine feet deen were made where the enginee id the con- nections were, as he knew by his mark. Many lookers on believed there never had been any outlet to the city juil sewerage and some of those about the bulding are now under the same impression when the, think of the loud stench that has per- vaded the atmosphere. At last accounts, by telephone, Deputy farshal White said he had got Charlie Nicholson to go with the patrol wagon in search of the lost sewer connection and in consequence it will propbably turn up to-aay. - A Wonderful Quilt, Miss Ella Fike, of Warrensburg, Mo, has just completed a érazy quilt which she has spent over four years in making.

Colonel Tom Ochilttee Tells Some Inter- esting Things of a Noted Bushranger. |A MAN OF LUCK AND GRIT, The Ups and Downs of His Career— How a Policeinan’s Bullet Inter- rapted His Exploits—Bagged by a Sawea OFf Gua. New York Sun: Col. Tom Ochiltree sat in the barroom of the Hoffman yes- terday drinking champagne with a friend, when a reporter came in, “Say, Tom Hughes has been bagged,’ he remarked to a reporter. He was much surprised to learn that the reporter was not acquainted with Mr. Hughes. “Why, he was at one time one of the first citizens of Denison, and at another time of Lareda. Why, everybody in . Texas and every other state must have known Tom Hughes. But let me tell you, his capture was accomplished only because of his hard luck, and hard luck n infre- quent incident in the picturesque life of one of the old-time spirits that fifteen or twenty years ago gave a zest to life in this country- “T'om was a native of England, but he came over the western ocean at the age of sixteen, just after the close of the war between the states. He floated along out to the western states gradually, working at whatever came to hand until he had a few dollars in pocket, when he would move on. He is said to have blacked boots in New York city, worked 1n a grain elevator in Buffalo, shoved lumber into a planing millin Sag- inaw, roughed it with the lumber men in northern Michigan, served as a porter in Palmer’s hotel, Chicago, waited on a table in a river side restaurant in St. Louis, and kept an eating booth under a tent on the baok of the Missour1 in Kan- sas City. From Kansas City he went to Fort Scott. It was here that he first got his name in the papers, und also, so far as known, began to associate with crim- in e, The only timber around Fort Scott is to be found along the creek bottom. Here there is a prodigions growth of young oaks. It was one of Tom’s fancies to go walking on a Sunday morning among the oaks. About the thira Sunday trip of this kind he made he found him- self in a little opening, at about 10 o’clock in the forenoon, with three men in front of him, one of whom was point~ ing revolver fair at lus head and tell- ing him in blood-curdling tones to hold up his hands and ‘keep ‘em well up, too,’ an order which Hughes made haste to obey. It was related afterward by the survivor of tho party that Hughes seemed to be the ‘wust scart tenderfoot ye ever see, but he was stackin’ the kyards fer us shameful.” “Hughes, with his knees knocking to- gether and lower jaw drooping, Kept his hands up, but they were flopping about in & way that made the man with the pistol langh. He couldn’t help turning d 2 minnte to remark toone of ti men with him that he “‘never see sich a idjit,” but he never d anything else after that, The moment his eye got tround to his companion Hughes’ shak- ing right hand dropped down on the butt of u revolver somewhere about his cloth- ing, and even before the robber saw the otion Hugh sent a bullet through his heart. He shot one of the others with the next pull of the trigger, and then told the third to hold up his hands and tracks toward Fort Scott, which done nstanter. Hughes, boy that he was, became the 1dol of the town. The citizens made up a purse, bonght him a beautiful re- volver and n Wimchester, and a gold watch and no end of stufl, which were presented to him with great spes - making. Three months later some one wed the iron bars out of the county il so that Greg. Kimmel, the robber ghes had captured, could escape, and Hughes and Johnnie Reid, a Hash gam- bler of the place, disappeared. It was pretty plain that Reid had determined to turn Hughes' nerve to account, and had taken Kimmel along. No one was s i therefore, when news later thata party of th having great luck holding up southern Arkansas. “But the road was not at that time a favorite with either Reid or Hughes. Reid was & natural born_gambler and Hughes was an_apt pupil. Tl only took the road when Hughes' appearance and nerve him the best faro dealer in the w that tim He had an honest iook and a careless bearing, but no one ever got the drop on him over a card tabl “]le was prodigal of his gains, too,and s got & wide reputation for generosity, down on their luck. m; aid that one night while he was dealing down in Denison a young fellow from New York, who had blown in all his wealth, became desperate, and draw- ing a revolyer aimed 1t at his own head, intending to kill himself, Hughes, who never failed to sce a motion with or for a pistol, saw this, Without a moment's hesitation he picked his revolver from the table and sent a bullet through the would-be suicide’s hand just in time to turn the pistol ide. That ended the thoughts of suicide. Then Hughes had the young man cared for and when he had recovered from the wound gave him $1.000 and some good advice and sent him home. “But there came A time, does, when Inck deserted young Hughes, He and two others started’in to hold up a stage not far from Texarcana. Hugnes had the drop on the driver as straight as a string with one pistol,while he covered a quiet gentlemun on the stage seat with another. But the moment Hughes stepped out of the cover the quiet geatleman got one of those infernal sawed off” shot guns out from under the duster or some other unlikely place and let drive two big loads of buckshet at the covey, bag- ring the whole three. He never “wounld Ifi:wuxlmu- itonly the cartridge in Hughes’ pistol failed to go off. Hard luck,wasn’t i always “Well, Hughes wasn't dead, but the other two were. Hughes had three or four buckshots in liim, one of them right in the right lung, but he pulled through, and then got ten years for the job at Lit- tle Rock. I think he served about six months and then skipped, and that's the last we ever saw of Mr, Hughes n the west, “The next we ledrned of him was i a letter one of the boys got from A There was nothing in 1t but a newspaper clipping, and that related to the most re- cent achievement of a daring bushranger by the name of Hughes. The bushranger 18 simply the Australian idea of cowboy and a gentleman of the road on the American frontier. l'rom time to time in the lust five years or more we have heard from him'in the same way. “To-day I rec d a letter from an old friend of mine, who owns a sheep ranch with a million or so of sheep on it in Australia, detailing the second capture of Hughes. The police had determined to run hun down, and had detailed a posse to follow him until they got him, if it took a year. Ever since the middle of Avpril that gang of policemen has been on his trail and Hughes must have had a tough time of 1it. “No doubt he would have left the country and returned to his friends in America had he had an oupor- tunity, but he was pressed too closely. ls:sveml times he exchanged shots with the police, but they were running shots ahd nobody but the police got hurt, and they were not seriously. 4 On the morning of August 7 Policemen O'Leary and Gee, so the letter runs, got word that Hughes was near Fremantle, and riding to the spot they found his trail, He was on foot. He was a neat hand at covering his tracks, but in this case had overdone the matter. Of course the police never would have found it it a shepherd had not given him away; but once they were onto him, the hours which he had spent concealing the track were wasted. He had not covered more ground in five hours than he could have run over in one. The treil led through a couple of ,mddu( on the old Canning road, and just beyond the second one the policemen found™ a camp where Hughe nad been cooking dinner. He had evi- dently got wind the policemen and had run for it, leaving behind a Martini- Henry rifle, a bulldog revolver, fourteen rvifle cartridges, forty-seven revolver cartridges,besides tea, sugar, some meat, split peas, tobacco, matches and rugs. Still he didn’t leave all his guns behind. “Finding the trail hot, Gee ran his horse to the top of the nearest sand hill rould see Hughes running at full spe ss the open ground. Gee fired twice at the unfortunate fellow, compelling him to take shelter behind a tree. Then Gee galloped straight down at the tree, but Hughes opened fire with s rifle and then with a revolver, Three bullets grazed Gee’s head, and that sent him to cover also. It was all up with Hughes, thongh, The firing brought the other policemen. These took shelter off at one side, and Hughes was unuable to keep out of Gee's sight and theirs at the same time, But he was game to the last, and kept firing his revolver until a ball from Gee's ritle struck him in the lett hip, and he fell. He will doubtless be sentenced to a long term in prison, but 1o one who knows him will say that his carcer has been more than temporarily checked. I'he cause of his c:.pture,afterall, was simply hard luck. When the police came to examine his weapons they found that the Martini rifle had jammed, and would not throw in a cartridge, while the revol- ver, a British bull-dog, 'had broken so while it could be fired, it took both hands to hold it together, and thus the aim was spoiled. T can’t help feeling sorry that his early prejud and triotism should have prevented his car- rying trustworthy Amecrican weajor with him when he emigrated to Austr: lia, instead of buying weapons in Eng Jand that were bound, sooner or later, to fail him 1 time ot need. - Watches, cloc welry, ete., the best in the oity.
