There were no street cars running in the city yesterday until afternoon. The compuny had quite a large foree at work cleaning the tracks during the entire day, and the rails were sulted from one end of the city to the other, It was not attempted to run the cars with one horse, and on all the runs the teams were doubled. It is probable that the regular runs will be mude to-day. John Allen, of the Furopean restaur- ant, who furnished the refreshmeuts for the Omahasleighing party, says that he prepured enough for }ully 700 lunches, and as there was but little left, he thinks that_about_that number of people were supplicd. Lunch was served from 8 un- til 6 o'clock, during which time the waiters were kept busy. Mr. Allen is a skillful caterer, and he served the large party most satisfactorily.

Preparations For a Return Sleighing Carnival to Omaha—Doings in Police Court—Other Events in the Bluffs, After the Carnival. The sleighing carnival of Thursday developed numerous incidents which are of interest. It is the universal expres- sion of the visitors that their entertain- mentlacked nothing which was essential to their pleasure or dive n. In this fact there is a double honor to the host and his guest. That this hospitality was in a few instances abused argues nothing, except that these individual guests had neither the sense to behave themselves, nor the courtesy to return good will for kindness. After the storm struck. the various lines of communication between Couneil Bluffs and Omaha were taxed to their utmost to convey intelligence and in- quiry. The m ‘nger service was about one-third greater than usual, and there was about t same increase in the telegraph servic After 4 o'clock p. m. the telephone central had 273 calls, They were mainly by persons here to apprise friends in Omaha of their safety. After half past four no messages were received from the other side of the river as the facili- ties were fully taxed to carry tidings the other way. On account of the se y of the storm no dummy runs were made after 6:45, in conscquenee of which many rsons were forced to remain in this ity over night. When it became apparent that the trip back to Omaha could not be safely made several gentlemen at the Ogden house, the Masonic temple and other ’ arily threw their homes and stables open for the accommodation of the city’s guests, and their teams. Many of these invitations were accepted and the immense erowd was well cared t the Ogden an hed and the iousness of the hours of the night were spent by many in dancing or listen- ing to the musicas their fancy inclined. During the night there were frequent for the veral acci- was whereabouts of fr dents to tenms, runaways, were re- ported, and there w many rumors afloat. With the appearance of diylight these messages we renewed and it was not until the day was well spent that all of the visitors of the previ day were accounted for. Now known that there were no serious casu- alties. In this is one of the ¢hief causes for our congratulation. The visitors from Omaha had all re- turned home by 6 o'clock last i many of them leaving their teamson this side until the weather moderates sufli- ciently for them to make the return trip in comfort. Mr. Crane, of the Masonic insurance company, arrived hom y even- ing.

T was awakened by the most uncarthly noi T have ever heard in a hotel. Th was smashing of gl and breaking of command- meuts evidently, One fellow was kicking at the door of one of the rooms, and shouting, ‘Hon- est to God, if you'll let. me in | won't do anything. No, I wont throw any water ov beer, or anything of that sort. Let me in for heaven’s sake, They've thrown beer all over our bed, and we sleep thers Lot me in!™ The kick ompanying the request sounded as if it would smash the door down, but the oceupant of the room refused to ad- mit the noisy intruder. This incident, in substance, was repented several times. Then th would come a crash, such as might vesult from a beer bottle thrown against & door. Then laughing and whooping and swearing. It was pande- monium let loose, This sort ef thing kept up until at least 8 o’clock in th morning. I got up, lighted the looked at the time, and then consoled myself n¥ smoking a cigar. 1 don’t know who they all were, but it was a scene which would have disgraced a bawdy house. In the morning 1 found the hall looking as if the fellows had tried t break up the house. There were several transoms broken out com- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE rle(nly. and one wom twisted clear out, rame and all. The glass and bottles and chamberware were scattered all around the hall, and water or beer or both spilled over everything. It was n hard looking sight.” Another of the regular roomers stood it as long us he could, and then slipping on his pantaloous he stepped out into the hall. There was a crowd of about eight or ten, in all the craay doings of drunken fools, playing base ball with crockery which ought to have been al- lowed to remain in some quiet corner of the rooms. The indignant roomer yelled at them in o voice of thunder and told them that if they didn’t let up he would throw the whole of them out of the win- dow. The irate warning might have had some_effect, but one of the party recognized the roomer and cried out, ‘‘Hello, there's Mac.” He hurriedly locked himself in his room, while the crowd went yelling froom deor to door in that vicinily, kicking the panels, shaking the knobs, and demanding that **Mac’ should come out and join them. Ting-a-ling went the telephone at po- lice headquarters about 8 o'clock. “Hello! send a policeman up to the Ogden house to take care of some drunken fellows.” Officer Brown responded to the call and on the way was joined by Officer Martin, of the merchants’ police. They hurried to the third floor of the Ogden house, and arrived just in time to see a man pushed out of one of the rooms into the hallway, his shirt torn from one end to the other, and his only other garment, a pair of drawers, hanging around his ankles and tripping his at- tempted steps. A number of the gang rushed about him, while one began to pour something out of a bottle down his In another part, of the hallway was another portion of the gang scuffi- ing and yelling. It was such a violent outhr ng of anti-prohibition that the officers were about to arrest the most enthusiastic of the rioters, when they were informed that they were not only Omaha tors, fathers. As the promise was made toquiet down, the officers were lenient, and staggered down stairs under the weight of respect felt for the city officialsof so large a city as Omaha, No record was made on the books at the police station. **What about the trouble last night on the third floor?” inquired the Bee reporter of the clerk who was supposed to be on duty that night. 1 don’t know anything about it. 1 don’t want to know. The less [ know about it the better. The matter had better be dropped. Yon know when the boys are out on a time. they do queer things, but it'sall vight.” “Room 24 is oh the third floor, you turn around the head of the stairs.” was inspected and thére were the following booked for that room: M. Lee, '] Lowry, F. E. Bailey, William F.

There's no use asking me questions, I don’t know anything.” An Omaha man who chanced to be over on this side, though not one of the uproarous party. briefly pictures ascene which was not down on the bills. He says the president of the body was laid completely out, stiff, and the rest of the gang going to the rear windows of the hall looking out upon the roof, gathered up a quantity GliEasw R i liberally sprinkled the prostrate f the tired comrade, and then her of dles which they placed about in “‘wake’ form, and then with this as a centdr for merriment poured forth and pourcd in libations. In fact the scene from midnight till 3 or 4 o'clock was one of the most dis- graceful thac ever characterized a ntght at the Ogden. The managing pro- prietor of the hotel was away from home, and the clerk is said not to have been in a _condition tostay the revelry and deviltry. The leniency shown by the police was rather remarkable in view of the fact that not many ago the Omaha po- lice found a Council Bluffs alderman upon the strects of that city just a little off, and insisted on locking him up, without giving any opportunity to giv. bonds, or even stop on the way to spe to a friendly merchant.

As the BEE man made the tour of the railroad offices of the city yesterday in ch of information as to the where- abouts of belated trains, he found it to be the unanimous opinion of the rail- road men that the blizzard of Thursday night was the worst that has ever vis: ited this section. Freight traffic was entively suspended and on some of the rouds the passenger trains were aban- doned until the storm should cease. The incoming trains on Thursday evening were from one to five hours late on the different roads. Yesterday morning the Burlington and the Northwestern were the only trains leaving on time. The Rock Island left the transfer at the stated time, but proceeded no further than the Main street depot, when it was backed to the transfer to await the a rival of the snow plo and finally left an hour and twenty minutes late. On the Milwaukee there was neither an av- vival nor adeparture during the morn- ing, but the evening train left ou time. The Wabash pulled out as usual in the aft Owing to the great iri lavity of the trains, the mails are in a mix up. Some of them now go out nearly on time, but it will probably be two or three days before they are ail running as usual, Some of the mail that arrived last evening was twenty- four hours late, Business is contracted on all the roads aud the effects of the storm will be felt for some time. lLocal traflic between this ¢ ly shut off for a be hours, ~ The dummy o'clock Thursday evening, the last tyip until 10:50 0'clock y morning.

In order to make sure of a sentence they had stolen some shoes from a Broadway boot and shoe store, and when their present sen- tence expires they will be tried for 1a ny. They are the same three who have been lodging in the jail every night, for some time past, and begging on the streets during the day. They bear the historic cognomens of James Doyle, John Kelly and Thomas W halen. The only thing to be regretted is that the judge did not order their diet to be of bread and water, as that would do much to lesson the attractions of the county bastile for these wandering vagabonds.

There was a meeting at the club rooms last evening for the purpose of making arrangements for a return sleighing carnival toOmaha. The club was not disposed to take the matter in charge, and after tatking over the pro- posed trip to some extent, it was re- solved to have a meeting of the citizens at the city hall this evening to make final arrangements and appoint commit- tees.

Tombstone Prospector: John Aston, the well known cattleman. and W, H. 1 intendent of the Copper King mine,in the Cananeas, left Ochoa- ville togethe esterday and rode down to the custom house, Aston having some business to transact. After Aston had nged affairs the two started back to ville. When about seven miles on the other side of that point a flock of crows was noticed near the road, and both Aston and Hartson took shots at them. The birds rose and, cireling in the air, alighted on the other side of the road on going between Hartson and the crows. Both men concluded to take another shot apiece, aud Hartson, not wanting to fire across his companion, reined in his horse and fell behind. Throwing his hand to his pistol, Hart- son pulled it from its scabbard, in doing which it was discharged. Mr. Hartson states that he has no recollection of corking the weapon, and does not think that he could have done so without re- membering it. s the weapon was divectedly in line Aston when it was discharged, wtely asked, “John, did you? ) this Aston replied: Hartson still not satisfied, said, you sure?” Aston laughed and assured Hartson that he was not After riding a short distance 1 tarned to his companion 3y George, 1 believe you did me.

Proceed- ing about a mile he met n wagon con- taining four Americans, and notifying them of the uaccident, they made all haste to the wounded man, Plueing Aston in the wagon, two of the men took the horses belonging to Aston and Hartson and rode ahead to notify Mrs. Aston of the sad affair and send for a physician. Hartson remaining with Aston and ministering to his com- fort in every possible way. During the trip into Ochoaville the stricken man suffered a great deal and expressed the opinion several times that ‘lis wound was a mortal one. Arriving at Ochoa~ ville, Hartson at once procured a fresh horse from the Aston herd and started for Tombstone to give himself up, al- though there was no ne ity for 1t, as the shooting took place in Sonora and of course the authorities of Cochise county have no jurisdiction in the mat- ter. Mr. Hartson is very much de- pressed over the matter, not only for what will probably prove the death of Aston, but for the additional reason that himself and Aston were the warm- est of friends and had been so for a long time. again hit. id ———— Saved From Death. Chico Enterprise: On Christmas day an accident occurred at Forest Ranch which for 1ts lucky resuits reflects credit, on the bravery of a gallant young man and saved a young lady from meeting a terrible death by being dashed on the rocks, 200 feet below, in Chico canyon. Sunday afternoon a party of young ladies and gentlemen from Chico, who were visiting friends at Forest Ranch were out on the bluffs just above the house, and among them was a young eastern lady, Miss Nona Ratcliff, of Greenville, O. They were standing on the edge of the bluff, which at this place i about 200 feet high and from where they shelved onward and onward and down for about thirty feet and then abruptly broke into a perpendicular fall to the bottom of the canyon. Miss Rateliff was out on the extreme edge peering over ¢ her foothold gave way. She asped the ecge of the rocks but could not stop herself, and began rapidly fall- ing to what her companions thought a terrble death. She rolled ar far as the shelf of rocks when her dress caught, and she hung there over the yawning gulf almost 200 feet below, exvecting death at every moment. Her compan- ions, who were much frightened, at onec realized her ularming position, and the thought of saving her quickly entered their minds, Dispatching one of the young to the house fora rope, Henry k off his coat and slowl made his way to where the young lac y. She was pulled from the edge of the bluff, and when the rope came taken to the top and home, Miss Rateliffe suffered a spaained ankle, her arm was badly iwched and she was otherwise bruised. The rescue was a brave and fortunate one, aud we congratulate all parties on the escape from a horrible death, ‘s Tale, Berry, the public executioner, has confided 10" u_reporter a number of particulars arding him- self, his family and his profession, Berry, we gather, stands No. 14 in the list of twenty-nine children. Tt will hardly surprise any one to 'n that his friends did not approve of his choice of a profession, but all right- feeling persous will be shocked to hear of the indirect effects of James Berry's abnormal inclinations upon his aflicted ‘relatives. Questioned on this delicate subject, he replied, moutnfully: *It killed my mother and brother.” " Then, with an apparently morbid pleasure, in harrowing details, he went on to say: “When Marwood died I was appointed in Mn‘p:wc. and directly my hother knew of it she was taken ill. My father's solicitor then wrote to the home office,in- forming the authorities of thi The result was that I gave up the position, and Binns got the appointment. My mother died soon afterwards, and then, when T saw the way in which Binns was oing on, 1 came to the conclusion that he would not hold the place long, and I again wrote to the home office, stating that my mother was dead, and that there was nothing now to prevent my accom- modating them if my assistance should be required. Soon after that I was en- guged to hang two men in Edinburgh, and I have carried out nearly all the ex- ecutions since then.” The sequel of the tragic tale is yot to teil.

Tt is to be hoped that we have here reached the final incident in this ghastly tale, though James Berry's final_observation, “*Altogether I have buried my mother, two brothers and two aunts within the last three years,” has a painfully ominous sound.
