Stewart and Sarah Stewart, of Omaha, were married by Squire Schurz yesterday afternoon. Mr. Stewhrt is quite well known on this side of the river. There will be a social given in the parlors of Masonic hall this evening under the auspices of Harmony chapter No. 25, O. E. S. All members are cor- dially invited. The funeral of Louis Bierworth took ,}lnce at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. 'he Knights of Pythias, to which order the decensed belonged, attended in a body, and conducted the services. The remains were interred in Fairview. The ice on the river is now too soft to harvest, and is only ten inches thick where it was twenty-two two weeksago. On this account Mulholland & Nicholas will have to fill twenty cars for the deaf and dumb institute from their houses. Henry Marr has sold to Michael Far- rell, of Illinois, a half interest in his bottom property for $1,250. Marr is one of the so-called ‘‘squatters,” who has been living near the river for years, and whom those claiming to own land are trying to compel to move off. The Boston Tea company’s store, of which William Richmond and George Fulton are the proprietors, was in the hands of the sheriff yesterday, but no interference was made with the usual business. The firm seem confident that they can adjust their matters so as to be able to recover. There seems to have arisen in the minds of ‘many a misunderstanding in regard to J. K. Cooper, the county su- perintendent of schools. That worthy gentleman has not resigned tha tion,and the confusion must have a| from the fact that he recently resigned his position as teacher in' the city schools. The first excursion for Sutherland, Florida, will leave over the Wabash on Thursday, February 9, at 3:40 p. m. All who desire to accompany the excur- sion should make application for tickets and sleeping car accommodations to C, Mitchell, agent Wabash Ry., corner Fifth and Broadway, Council Bluffs, Ta. On January 1, 1888, the board of di- rectors of the Council Bluffs water com- Hllll met in New York. It was then ecided to increase the capital stock from 8750,000 to $1,000,000. Yesterday a certificate of amendment to the original articles. of incorporation was filed with the county clerk, making this increase. This action was necessary to cover the necessities of the future growth of the ocity. Some of the firemen at No.4 hose house think they are pretty well fixed for election day, and announce their in- tention of casting four votes each. They base their claim on the fact that they sleep in the Third ward, eatin the Fourth, have their washing done in the Second and their girls live in_the First. It is probable that the First ward is best entitled to their votes. Warren Haney and Albert Kosser, the two boys who were arrested for stealing cigars from Larsen’s store on lower Brondway, were tried yesterday before Justice Schurz. Haney seemed to be the principal offender, and has been in the same fix several times before. The ’squire read the riot act with all the variationsand told them to beware of the next time. They promised to do better and were discharged. Marshal Guanella has instructed his deputies to notify the merchants who are obstructing the sidewalks with boxes and barrels that they are violating a city ordinance, and to sce that the nuisance is abated. He should also give his_attention to some of the awn- ings on Broadway that have a peculiar habit of knocking a man’s hat off when he tries to pass under them. The city ordinances provide that these awnings shall be seven feet from the sidewalk, biu" in many instances they are barely six. Theodore Beckman, who has been looking about for a good location to start a harness shop and horse goods store, has wisely concluded that he can find no better place than his old home, Council Bluffs, a decision which his many friends will gladly approve. He has leased the store, No. 205 Main street, recently vacated by Jones & Shugart. He will proceed to fit up and stock up at once, and will doubtless find his old friends and acquaintances nix-e(my shoving in orders upon him. He has lived here for twelve years, is thoroughly practical and skillful in his line, having been engaged in it since ‘boyhood. TION. —_——— Money to loan. W. S.

Organization of the New Bank—An- other New Hotel Promised—Re- sult of a Crazy Drunk—Brief News -Personal The District Court. The case of State vs Turner was re- sumed in the district court y esterday morning and submitted without argu- ment at 2:30 o'clock. The contempt case of Henry Heitman was then called. Heitman is the lessee of the St. Joe house, and is one of the twenty-six who were enjoined last March. He has had four different at- torneys, but it is claimed that as soon as they would get his case straightened out for him he would *‘go back’ on them,” and refuse to settle. They would then withdraw from the case. His bondsman gave him up on Wednesday night, and he was taken to the county jail. When he up- peared in court he had no attorney, and Judge Thornell appointed W. A. N ter to defend him. He pleaded guilty to the charge against him, and asked the mercy of the court. Jacob Sims, the prosecuting attorney, stated that he had no objections to .a° light sentence being imposed. The judge said that cases of this kind needed heavy penal- ies, for the orders of the court must be obeyed, but in consideration of the fact that the defendant was a poor man, and bad a very sick child nceding his con- and had pleaded guilty, saving the state the cost of a trial, he would fix the fine at $600, or 180 days in the county jail, defendant to be committed until the fine was paid. Arrangements were made so that the ll)risnm-r could visit the child every day during the sickness, Henry Wendt, of Walnut, pleaded guilty to assault with intent to A{n great bodily harm. He was fined $300 and costs. The prosccuting witness was Frank Ray. It happens that Wendt was crazy drunk at the time of the as- sault, and in his wild brandishing of a knife struck Ray in the head, inflicting a serious wound, the point of the knife breaking off. The evi has caused ‘Wendt to sober up, and since last July he has been a teetotaler. In view of his condition at the time of the stab- bing, his reform and the fact t he had no quarrel with Ray, he was treated with leniency.

There was nothing of a startling na- ture to be learned yesterday in regard to the squabble in the police force. Tt has been expected tnat the mayor would summarily suspend those of the force who have violate his orders to preserve silence 1 regard to each other, but no stars have fallen. The scare has prob- ably caused the offending members to shut up like clams, although there secems no lessening of the feeling of jealousy and bitterness. One of the complicating features of the affairsecms to be that the squabble is confined largely tothe ranks of the same political party, and harmony is desirable in oraer to secure more democratic victories. Chief Mullen, who has been so savagely attacked, is keeping very quiet about the matter. He is under orders to hold his peace and attend to the duties of hi position the same as the other ofti further than this he takes the position that he is ready to meet any charges which may be formally presented against him, or is willing to submit to any such investigation as the mayor, the police committee or the council may arrange. When the proper time comes he will give his side, and the prediction is made by his friends that the showing will be such as to make those who have been stivring up the muss, heartily ashamed of themselves. — Sheafe loans money on real estate.

He will putup a fine three-story building that will be a credit to the city. He claims that he must greatly inerease his present facilities and accompodations in order to make godd the loss resulting from clos- ing his bar. H¢ had give up his plans in regard to going to Omaha to loe; as he could not secure the ne property there as he had intended. e A Double Death. In yesterday's BEE appeared a notice of the death of James Lee on February 1. The aged mother of the young man was in very feeble health and the sad news was kept from her for a while for fear that the effect would be fatal. Yesterday it was broken to her as genMy as possible, but the shock was too great, and she expired almost instantly. The husband and father, wha 'is inavery weénk mental s well as physical con- dition, scarcely realizes his double mis- fortune, and it is feared that he, too, will soon follow. The son's funeral was arranged for this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and now both will be buried at the same time. —_—— Looking For a Secretary. There seems to he much misunder- stunding in regard to the secretaryship of the board of trade. Some of those who subscribed express indignation that such a man has not been selected as was contemplated in the organization of the board. his natural indignation is the result of a misapprehension. The fact is that the board still has the determina- tion to employ a permanent secretary who shall devote his whole time to the interests of the organization and of the city, and who shall be & man of ex- Jorience and capacity, suflicient to par- lorm the tasks which ull hope are to be accomplished. It is no easy matter te find just the right man, and the com- mittee having it in hand has about come to the conclusion that_there is no such man available here.” The search for the right man is being dirccted elsewhere. In the meantime it is neces- sary to have some one to attend to the correspondence, keep the minutes, and do such other clerical work as ms necessary, Mr. Odell was the sec of the old board. He has served for years, with practically no compensation, and at a sacriflce of both {ime and money. The promise has been made him time and time again that he would be relieved by the choosing of some one else, and with the organization of a new board a good opportunity was presented for securing such relief. There were a large number of applicants for the po- sition of secrotary, and while none of the local appl nts were deemed just fitted for the place, it was thought best to select one of these as temporary sec- retary until such time as a permancnt secretary could be secured. This ar- rangement was agreed to with the un- derstanding that the finance committee could arrange with the one ch 1 as to the \'(!m)wnn:llinm, The choice has fallen upon W, H. Lynchard, of the Council Blufls Heral It is not known, owing to his abse: from the city, whether he will accept, but if he does not, some other young man will be secured to attend to such clerieal work as needs be done, until such time as the right kind of a man can be secured for more extended and responsible srmanent secretary. - They Saw Stars. S. T. Smith and J. Renner were pulled out of the mud by the police yes- terday, londed to the muzzle with ben- zine. Inthe evening the Salvation army started out for their nightly whirl with full band and colors flying, but found the Broadway mud too deep for even their high pressure enthusiasm to hattle inst, so they took the sidewalk. f of Police Mullen could not submit to such proceedings, so he ma the base drummer to the police s The whole outfit followed and gave for the victim’s appearance in court this morning. The event served asa great “'ud” for the army, as their hall was crowded at the evening meeting. The two crooks, Cor and Sloan, who are now in the couhty jail await- ing the return.of Judge Aylesworth from Des Moines to be tried for the lar- ceny of a pair of shoes, are now acc of another.little game. It scems that they went to the tailor shop of Mr. Rit- zenboff, on South Main street, and told him that a man inthe county jail would soon be released and wanted him to come up and measure him for o suit of clothes. The tailor started right up to see him, leaving his wife in the shop. One of the party took advantage of the situation to take a _bolt of cloth under his coat and started out, but the woman saw the transaction and made him unload. It turned out that the story of the man in jail had no_founda- tion, and was evidently to get the tailor out of the way. This case will also be tried against them, : e For Sale—300,000 brick. uire of D. Sackett. with Sackott & 1 Bluffs. el The City Wallet.

HiGHSMITH, Lieut. Comd’g. — TWO REMARKABLE FAMILIES. The Rothschilds and the Metternicks —The Ugliest of W n. Paris correspondence of the New York World: The emperor of Austria has declared the Baroness Albert de Roths- ild hoffahig! Although she lives in Niennd, Parisians take great interest in this event, for the baroness is daughter of the Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, the autocrat of Paris. In order to un- derstand the value of this new title we must explain shat it means simply that the descendantsof the Frankfort banker are now considered worthy to receive invitat®ons to court balls and entertain- ments. All the ceremonials at Vienna are borrowed from the Spanish court, and everything is conducted with rigor- ous formality. To be hoffuhig sixteen quarterings are required from all ladies except the Hungarians, who, for some reason,are admitted within the charmed circle although they may possess but eight of the quarterings demanded. The emperor cannot make one hoffahig, but he can recognize Hoffahigkeit. Titled parents in Vienese society never nccept as daughters-in-law those who have not incontestable right to the honors of the court, and children who make mesalliance are *‘cut off” without the proverbial shilling. The Rothschilds are an exceptional family, for although they have recei titles because of their vast wealth, still in every part of Burope they have proved themselves worthy of the highest social favors. In Vienna the court balls begin at 8 o'clock and _end at midnight; the first, called the Hofball, is official, and to this ahout three thousand people areinvited. The second, called the Ball bei Hofe or Kammerba!l, has the appearance of a private ball, and for this only 1,000 invi- tations are issued. At these balls five immense salons are converted into re- freshment rooms, and at 11 o'clock sup- peris served for the guests. Royal princesses and ambassadors and am- bassadresses alone are seated next to the eror and empress, and etiquette is tly observed in the placing of each Since 1856, the year of her mar- Pri ss Pauline de Metter- has been the leader of Viennese but Paris is the eity of her after 1850 she came as and for ten years of the empire, sh armed Pavisians by her wit and talent. She sang and played, danced and conversed, until her popu- became ver Music she prefors to all arts, and she places it above everything in this world. All modern languages arve familiar to her, and although she writes French with the implicity of Mme. de Sevigne, she never been able to conquer the participles. We all know how in 1861, notwithstanding the opposition of the emperor and the entire city, she in- sisted that Wagner’s opc should be Parisians. And the performance of “Tann- the n\ullil-nun did not attempt to vestrain its fury she leaned far out of her box, in her excitement, shook her broken fan before the enemies of her favorite, and eried: **What you burn vou will adore to-morrow.” Princess de Metternich is one of the women we can possibly imagine; d of herself when in Paris: “I am the best dressed monkey in the city:” and she really had the courage to found the “Club of Ugly Women,” a <‘;luh in which there were only five mem- ers. In 1884 T received an invitation to meet the Princess de Metternich, who was spending o few days in Paris, T had the curiosity to rend everything I could find relative to her life in Paris, per- sonal appearance, etc. An enthusiastic erson who must have wished some fovor from her highness had written the description that fell under my eyes: “‘Blonde hair, whiose heavy rings fall upon ravishing shoulde pressive eyes, mouth de gayety, a delicious physiognomy, in- born elegance and the incomparable grace of a figure unique in its flexible undulations.” With this description fresh in my mind I entered the salon, and before me was a_woman to whom the word “monkey” might well be applied. Where was the ‘blonde hair, whose heavy rings fall upon ravishing shoul- ders? Evidently in the imagination of the writer. The shoulders, uncovered to the last degree, were ornamented with scar os every ¢ize and shape, the mouth was like that of an African, but the grace and elegance could not be denied. The Princess de Metternich is an enchantress; no one can be more polite, more gracious than this dame de palais of the Austrian empress. The most simple phrases seem to receive from her new meaning, and her ex- pression is like her word. the reflection of her thought. Only once have I ever heard of a re- mark that might be called rude. The Archduke Charles Louis Victor gave a ball, and the princess, contrary to all etiquette, arvived after the emperor. “Princess,” said the archduke, ‘‘the emperor if already here.” “What difference can that make to replied the princess, before all the servants. *‘I amalways early enough to hear all that the emperor has to say.” The annoyed archduke said nothing, but when supper was announced he sent his aide-de-camp to say to the princess that because she attached so little im- portance to the conversation of the e peror he had given her place at his majesty’s table to another lady. As dame du palais Princes de Metter- nieh, during Holy Week, follows the empress to all church ceicbrations, and always to solemnities, such as baptiims and marriages. By right of birth, and not by right of conguest, is she *‘lndy of the palace.” Her mother was Princess Leontine de Metternich, daughter of the great Metternich, and her father, Count Maur de Sandor-Slawnieza,the most celebrated horseman in Christen- dom. All Europe knew that he rode up and down the staircases of his own pal- ace. Like Bayard, he never knew fear —not even in childhood. —~—— OVER 1,000,000 PEOPL E DROWNED v when Interesting tails of the Terrible Flood in China. London Time: Tnland from Shan- tung is the province of Honan, while Kaifeng, its capital, on the south bank of the Yellow river. About forty miles om K leng stands the second- class city of Ching or Cheng Chou. The latter half of September was unusually wet and stormy in northwest China. The local streams were filled to the brim or o lowing, and a _heavy frdshet was coming down the Yellow river, which in Honan is something over half a mile broad. A little below Cheng Chou there is a bend in the riv where the stream is borne against the south shor The embankments were soaden -with ten days’ continuous rain, and & strong wind blowing down the beach added to the force of the current. The waves dashing violently against the embankment carried away first the protecting fascines, and not 10ng after the earthen wall behind them. 'The breach at first extended for only a hun- dred yards, and the main body of the stream continued to follow its own channel. Frantic efforts were made to close the gap; but its sides rapidly crum- bled away till it widened to a breadth “of 1,209 yards, through which issued the whole con- tents of the river. Parallel withthe Yellow river, between it and Cheng Chou, runs the Lu-chia river, a water- course of no size. The escaped torrent poured into the valley of the stream, rushing down towards the east. Twenty miles from Cheng Chou stood Chung- mou, a walled city of the third rank. In the district of which it is the chief town a hundred villages are swallowed up en- tirely, and the lands of 300 more were inundated. The city itself is reported officially to be still standing, encircled by the waters, but private accounts rep- resent thatboth it and its population are buried beneath the waves. The flood, still keeping the line of the Lu-chia, then turned southward, a mass of water [Mrom ten to twenty feet deep in the midst,and stretching in width for thirty miles, without counting less important offshsots which in\'mlcfi the valleys of adjacent streams. Chuhsien Chen, one of " the prindgnl trading centers of China, lay in the direct course, but for- tunately, being on higher ground, es- caped with the loss of a few suburbs. Seventy miles due south of Kaifeng the Lu-chal joins a lurger river coming from the west. Not far below the point of junction the flood, aggravated by the accession to its volume, rose to a height even greater than before. The country there traversed by it is low- lying and very fertile, and the popula- tion earrespondingly dense. In a tract which must be less than thirty miles square as many as 1,500 villages were submerged. Not far beyond this local- ity the inundation passed into the neigh- boring province of Anhui, from the gov- ernment of which no reports have yet been published. The people there must have received warning of the impend- ing danger, and it is belicved that the flood, though spreading very widely, has been less deep and violent. The loss of life should, therefore, be much less, but the destruction of property must be im- mense all along the valley of the Huai river to the sea. The number of per- sons drowned in Honan can never be reckoned with any approach to nceuracy, BN CARAVAIVAvan ba ieseqr HaTupy. ing a conjecture, I would say that it can not well be less than one million, and probably is pot so high as two. Still the European in Pek who, by his re- lations with the Chinese government, is in a position to be better informed than any onc else, has put the number at 7,000,000. Officinl reports state that very few escaped of those whose homes were in the midst of the flood, though a small number were rescued in boats from tree tops or high mounds. pishale by bty A Large Real Estate Deal. Salt Lake Tribune: One of the larg- est deals in real estate ever transacted in Utah has taken place during the past week. BEdward H. ry came here from Denver only a week ago in quest of coal lands,and left Tuesday evening, carrying with him purchase bonds for 6,480 acres, $60 per acre, mak- ing a total of #388,000. The purcha is for a Denver syndicate, which is un- derstood to be connected with one of the proposed ratlways to be constructed across Colorado, through Uintah, and Summit_counties, Utah to this city. Fulton & Smith secured a purchase bond from each of the forty-one per- sons and then executed a purchase bond to Mr. Terry, payment to be made June 1, when Fulton & Smith will issuea deed for all the land. Openings by cuts, tunnels, or shafts have been made on every one of these claims, exposing good coal in thickness from twelve feet down to three. The work done on these claims in the past ranges from $20 t0 85,000 each making the aggregate large, and of such character as to have fully demonstrated that there are good coal measures there. Regarding the quality, itis claimed that it is good, some being similar to that of the Grass Creek mines in the same vicinity, and of a firmer character than the mines be- worked now at Coalville, e Eli Bunker, who died lately at Goshen, Conn., was the last of the Corn- wall Bunker Indians of the Schaghti- oke tribe.
