HALDANE, THAWED OUT AT THE BLUFFS. Jacksonian Democrats Orate and Make Merry Over Old Hickory. HALL WANTS TO BE A FREE MAN. He Tries To Saw Out of Jail—The Mys- terious Woman Bears Watching —A Squabble Over County Printing. The Democratic Celebration. The “Old Hicko celebration at the opera house last evening was well at- tended. 'The toasts were well received amid much enthusiasm. The party ad- {mu-nod to the Masonic temple at about iatf past 10, and a grand batl was com- menced which lasted until nearly morn- ing. The democratic party throughout the county was well represented, Too Much of a Day Off. Judging from the way the thing is going, it seems as though a change in the patrol department of the police service is imperative. Yesterday Driver Nicholson had a day off, and spent it in Omaha. Coming home on the ) dummy, he refused to pay his fare, and created quite a_disturbance. Such doings bring discredit to the city’s police force, and indi- rectly to the cit The officer in question, has been in the city's ser- vice tor some time, and has proven him- self very efficient, but the 1lai Aburith 0 have gotten into his head that the city can not get along without him, and that he can do as he pleases. There arc cases when forbearance ceases to be a virtue, and this is one. Nicholson has done the city much effective service, but he eannot hold his position for past work, if he coutinues in his present course, Lgna il Who is awgiver? The vening Herald, has for some re- cons best known to itself, got quite stirred up because there is an agéney started here for the collection of bad bills. Its attorney quotes the foilowing section of the statutes as “‘throwing light upon the right of collecting agents to threaten to publish the names of debtors:”? Sec. 3871, If any person either verbally or by any written or printed communication, maliciously threaten to accuse another of a crime or offense, or to do any injury to the person or property of another, with intent thereby to extort any money or pecuniary ad- vautage whatewer, or to compel the person 0 threatened to do any act against his will, he shall be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary not more than two years or by fine not exceeding £500. The legal ability which sces the ap- plicability of this séction to the collec- tion agency is well fitted to be sent to the legislature for the framing of pro- hibition laws. Debt is evidently con- sidered a crime, and to induce a man to pay a bill a penitentiary offense. The Supreme Court. Aylesworth has evidently turned over a new leaf with the begin- ing of a new year,” remarked one of the barristers, “Cases used to drag along in courttermafter term, and nothing done about them. I know of cases that have been held under advisement for a vear and a half. There are a good many cases that have been on the docket al- most ever since the court started. Some- way they never reached a hearing. The superior court was organized to have a mill where gristscould be ground out more quickly than in the district court. The lawyers don't seem to be in any hurry to have them ground out. Tho judge, too,has been rather casy, but he's reforming, I guess. He has been cull- ing the docket, and the cases in which no lawyers appeared went to the first of the docket, and when called up the sec- ond e he dismissed them. He's cleaning up the docket pretty fast. The new year starts in as if the superior court was going to be a hummer from this out.” udgo e If you desire to get a new Hall type writer cheap, drop a postal card to H. A. P., Bee oftice. A great bargain for the first who applies. - An Attempt at Jail Breaking. The police thought yesterday that they had the woman who had been working with Hall, the confidence man, while he was turning his lucrative tricks around the transfer. It was un- derstood that he had some keen female who was spotting-his victims for him, and that she was still in this city, wait- ing for further developments. This woman has been undew police surveill- ance for some time, and she was yester- day taken before County Aitorney Dailey. She was subjected to a very thorough examination, but nothing of importance was elicited. She denied all knowledge of the man Hall, and as there were no grounds sufficient to war- rant holding her, she was discharged. Hall is still confined at the county jail, where he frets considerably over his loss of liberty. He was allowed the liberty of the corridor with the other prisoners until Saturday, when Sherift O'Neil discovered that he was attempt- ing to saw his way out, and he has since been locked upin a cell, He is evi- dently aware of the hopelessness of his case, and deems jail breaking the only thing that will save him from the pen- itentiavy. It is not known how he ob- tained his tools, but his former experi- ence as a convict probably schooled him in these matters. Sheriff O'Neil s that his present lot of prisoners is the toughest dm\ he has had for some time, being mostly forgers, burglars and heavy criminals. They are allowed all possible freedom, but are subjected to the closest vigilunc Sheafe loans money on chattel security of every description. Privi consulting rooms. All business st confidential.

By his long residence in the city he is well known to many of the readers of the Bee. He moved from here lust sammer to Valley City, Neb., and entered the employ of the Union Pacific as car inspector. Whil tend- ing to his duties on the evening of the 2d inst., he was run over by a passenger train, The dispatches first sent out stated that he was mortally injured. Such, however is not the case. One leg was broken in two places, which proved to be his most severe injury. He was moved to the hospital in Omaha, wh possible attendance could be had. The indications of his ultimate recovery are growing better daily. For several months previous to this accident the wife of Mr. Payne had suffered from consumption and a short time ago had been moved to the home of her relations in this state, The unervous prostation following the shock received by ghe an< nouncement of her husband's “accident has hastened the progress of the discase and she now lies at the point of death. With the departure of the mother from home the children were taken to Lin- cotn and placed in school, where they now are. —_—— Their Titles Clear.

Pets of the Police, When Judge Aylesworth appeared,in police court yesterday morning he or- dered the jailor to bring out his whole flock of transgressors o that he could make a clean sweep. Five doleful-look- ing specimens of the genius tramp w duly marshalled into the dock for mag terial inspection. and gave their names as Thomas Whalen, James Doyle, Charles Kelly, Frank Leonard and Riley Bradshaw. All were charged with vag- rancy and Leonard was confronted with the additional charge of fighting in jail. He told a pitiful story of how the other prisoners had abused him, and he hi acted in self-defense, The judge was feeling unusually good natured and discharged the whole bunch. Leonard was ordered to leave town immediately or he would be sent to jail for thirty days. He was telling the jailor of the awful thumping that was’ in store for him when he finished his duties on the police force, but when that personage started for him. he ambled rapidly out of the door and disappeared in the di- rection of the r The county board of supervisors yes- terday examined the bids submitted by the county papers for doing the county printing for the ensuing yeur. The only bids submitted were from the Non- pareil, Globe and Herald printing com- panies, of this city. The statutes pro- vide that each puper shall furnish a sworn statement of its circulation, and also a list of its hona fide subsc s, together with their postoftice addresses. The Globe and Herald complied with th requirements, but the Nonpareil merely submitted a ' statement., Tnstead of awarding the contract to either of the other pupcef, the boavd re- e DL bl Gt county pape ara again instructed to present their sworn statements and subscriber’s lists, at the April meeting of the board.

Gardiner Floyd, a well known d Portland, Me.. had an awful expe many feet under water at Matt: keag, a few days ago. He was at work on a foundation for a coffer dam at the site of a pier for a new bridge for the Canadian Pacifie railrond. He had put a chain around a big rock and given the signal to hoist it, when n large piece of the rock broke off. It fell upon the diver, knocked him down, and pinned one leg and foot to the bottom, His erawbar was just beyond his reach, and ' he feared every moment that his air supply would ‘give out. The bottom wis of mud and.gravel and rather soft. Mr. Floyd set to work to dig himself free with his hands. As fast as he un- dermined the rock he propped it up with small stones. He dug away for e for just half an hour befors getting his leg free. His air hose was resting on two points of a ledge, but by careful handhug he got it straigntened out and gave the signal to hoist., He was completely hausted when he reached the surface, His foot and leg wi badly bruised,but no bones were br agraphs. ife, of Kansas City, The New York dandy has taken to snuff, which he pinches from ancient snuff-hoxes ornamented either with dinmonds or ancestral portraits, No. 201 Main Street, Gouncll Bluffs, lowa.
