A great bargain for the first who ap- plics, County Treasurer Plumer spent Christmas with his futher and mother, and ticy slipped into his vest pocket a gold watch which any aan might carry with pride, The young ladies of St. Francis church are prevaring for a concert and festival in the mple hall next Friday evening. An cxcel- lent programme has been arranged, including some numbers by the Peak sisters. The Pacific house does credit to itself and 1o the city by its elegant holiday spr Christmas dinner was one of the fines in this part of the world. Ferguson & Son are among the few who know now to runa hotel. The annual rental of the pews at the Presbyterian church will occur next Sutur evening. Those who desire to retain t lips may s0 inform the trustees of the fore that time, and they will be res for them. Mr. J.

All persons, members and others desiring to secure sittings for the com- ing year, are requested to be present and make their selections. Marriage licenses are about the only thing for which there is a great demand. Two were recorded yesterday. These two were to Thomas Swanson and Ellen Nelson, of Council Bluffs, and J. A. Raabe, of Hancock, and C. M. Newton, of Crawford county. It was understood by many that Put Lacy's reward for working so zealously for Grone- weg's election to the senate was to be the mayoralty, which Groneweg was to leave open for him by resigning. The opening is made. Now it remains to be secen whether Lacy can get into it. The Catholic church choir has presented Mrs. O'Neill with an clegunt pair of opera glasses, as a slight recognition of her valu- able services as leader in the musical feature: of the church worship. She has been acti: in the choir, and in various cntertainments for years, and is a horn general as well as un accomplished musician. Henry Spetman, one of the proprietors of the Kiel hotel, was generously reminded of the presence of the holi son by being resented with an elegant gold watch by his ier D, Holst. There is said to be no r watch in the city, and but one more valuable, and that is made so by the addition of diamonds in the case, the works being no tter. . The police ran in three suspicious charac- ters who were found on Main street Monday night, and thought they had part of heavy confidence gang. Oficers camoe over from Omaha, but found they were not the men they were after, and it now looks as though the fellows were merely a_lot of tramps and “'dead broke’: cripples. They will probably £0 to jail on the charge of vagrancy. A letter recently received from James Wilds, an old citizen of this county, who with his wife, left for California Nov. 22, states that they are located at Los Angeles and are well ana happy. Mr. Wilds has seen the Underwood boys and Mr. Benton, who left here some wecks ago with acar load of horses for that market. They have disposed ot their stock and to good advantage. The writer gives no intimation of the time of his return, Tommy Brooks, of this city, returnedhome last m-en!mi( from Kansas ‘City, where he won a bare knuckle fight with Nolan, & local bruiser, in two rounds. Brooks broke one of Nolan's ribs in the second round, and Nolan fainted 08 he attempted to come to the Scratch when time was called for the third round. ' The fight was for $100 a side and the light-weight ¢ m.m.immmp of the west. Brooks wears a bad cut over his left eye, but shows no other effects of the battle. Probably no one besides the relatives feels 80 keenly the death of Danicl Kelley as does J, C. Lee, the contractor in whose cmploy the deceased was at the time of his death, ‘There was left no means of defraying the ex- penses incident to the burial and to give the “unfortunate man a decent interment without burdening the county Mr. Lee took this bur- den and its payment upon himself. ‘This was 8ll the honor which could be conferred upon the d:ld. and for it Mr. Lee deserves much TION. ed Marshal Guanella returned yesterday from Rockport, Mo., where he went after the horse thief, Ed Adams, but had to return ‘without him, as he refused to come without a requisition. The necessary Jmpcn\ will be procured at Des Moines, and the marshal will leave for Jefferson City Friday evening. Adams finished a six months sentence on a like charge only a week ago, and will proba- get five years this time. He seems bound to make all the trouble he can while he is out. of the pen. e Personal Paragraphs. W. F. Day, of Castana, 1s in the city visit- ing friends.

Evans is being talked of somewhat, and very favorably, as a suc- cessor to Mayor Greneweg, who has re- signed. It will be remembered that he was the choice of a large portion of the voters at the election which resulted in the selec- tion of Mayor Groneweg, but not of & ma- jority. 1t has been suggested that he be now called on to fill the proposed vacancy, which he could do satisfactorily, without doubt. The Bee man chancing to sce him yesterday made the natural inquiry whether this was was the coming mayori “Idon’t want even to talk about it," re- plied Mr. Evans, “Iam not a candidate: I don't know anything about it; I have been away & zood deal, and in fact know nothing, except what Lhave scen the papers.

The happy couple remained until yes day morn- ing, when they left for home. he account of the matrimonial event is given thus by the Rocky Mountain News: The Hon. Joseph S. Swan, receiver of pub- lic moneys at Glenwood Springs, and proprie- tor of the Ute Chief, the leading democratic paper in western Colorado, came down from the thriving little metropolis on the Grand vesterday and k un imself a wife. The wedding w ictly private, for, like all ed- itors, Mr. Swan kept the information of the event from his best friend. The lady of his choice is, or was, Miss Ella M.

Martin Morris, 1144 Broadway, at last night. and was witnessed by th und intimate friends, including Mr. Morris, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson of Glenwood Springs, Mr. and Mrs. Cooley, Miss De Lan and a f others.

Mardis put up $10 for his appearance this morning. Henry Ga- ble and J. M. Rhodes were charged with be- ing drunk and disturbing the peace. The case was continued until afternoon, when John Lindt appeared for the defendants. Several witnesses were examined on both sides, but the case was not finished, and will be continued this morning. The evidence failed to prove them drunk, and the re- mainder of the trial will be upon the other charge.” One point dwelt upon by Mr. Lindt was that the fact of the partics walking down street_arm in arm was no proof that they were full, as heand his partner Mr, My very frequently walked that way. When the witness on the stand told him that the defendants were fuller than the lawyers gencrally were, Mr. Lindt seemed to lose all hope in his case, for the assertion was ac- cepted by the court as quite conclusive. — Splendid Business Opening For the right man who has a capital of 10,000, For full information call on or address Forrest Smith, 14 Pearl st., Council Bluffs, Ia. e L Lost—A verv small rat-and-tan dog.

The bark Scotland, Captain William Munro, from Liverpool to New York, stranded here at about 10 o’clock last evening, says a dispatch from Sea Girt, N. J., to the New York World. During ths voyage an event happened which the sailors said was a sure portent of disas- ter, and the result fully justified their fears. When about fifteen days out, and about eight hundred miles from shore, while the crew of twenty mea were sitting at dinner, they were some- what startled by the sudden appearance of a flock of seven crows, which flew in through the open window and surrounded the table and began devour- ing the food which had been set out for the men. The sailors as soon as they saw the crows got up and left the table suying they had had enough although they had hardly eaten a mouthful. They all seemed to be stricken with fear and from that day on went about their work with a sullen look, as though they apprehended some danger. After that, when they sat down to their meals they would invaribly close their windows and cabin doors so as to pre- vent the recurrence of the omen. Among those on board at the time was a young woman from Whitestone, L. I, —Mary Seymour—who had accompanied the daughter of the captain upon the trip. "I am not of a superstitious nature,” said Miss Seymour to a re- porter this evening, **but when I saw those crows alight on the table, I was stricken with horror. I have heard and read so much about the ill luck which follows the yisits of such birds that I immediately felt that something was going to hupscn. I told Miss Munro, the captain’sdaughter,of my feelings but. she laughed at me and even went so far as to catch one of the birds and keep 1t in the cabin for some days. I feel satisfied that the crew did not like the idea of Munro keeping the bird on board, but they all thought so much of her that they did not say nn{lhing, and they all heaved a sigh of relief when the crow died and was thrown overboard. But little was said from thataay on, and we somehow had for- gotten the occurrence until last night when the storm set in. None of the men or myself said anything, but I know that the fear again seized us, and and we looked for something unfortun- ate. ‘At 8 o’clock when Captain Munro came into the cabin and informed us that by morning we would be in New York harbor I heaved a sigh of relief. About half an hour later I was some- what startled by hearing the mate call 1o one of the men to heave the lead. to ascertun the depth - of water.

DECEMBER 28, 1887 below and hardly had 1 ghined t of Miss Munro when 1 heard yomotaing enap, and, soon aflter that Wwe were grating upon the bar and I knew the omen had come true and we were wrecked. The captain, who had now gone on deck soon re- turned and told us we had stranded on the Jersey coast. The,bogm had broken and had fallen upon theé wheel, thereby rendering it useless for n time. Al- though Captain Munro told us that a crew of life-suvers were on shore to render us help atany time should we desire it. I could not sleep, as [ could not drive the thought of the birds from my mind, and it was a welcome sight when day broke and the men on shore rigged the hreeches buoy and took us off the ill-fated boat.” The Scotland is of about fifteen ton, burden and loaded with soda ash and empty barrels. Patrolman Bowditch Pearce, of station No. ¥, left his station at 8 o’clock last night, after being on midnight watch, The wind was then plowing from the north and the air was filled with snow. He had made his way about half over his patrol when the Scotland was discovered, tossed by the surf on the outer bar. The ‘crew at the station house was notified and a huge bongre built on the shore near the wreck, for the night was a bitter one. The apparatus for the station was immediately hauled to the scen carrien a line over the ship. She ship- wrecked mariners were in no danger, however, and it was not until day- of disaster, and a shot fired that light that the breeches buoy was put in nswru(i(m.
