His engagements are such_that he cannot come before April, and the rrohnbilily is that the matter will be aid over uotil fall. The Congregational Sunday school has so increased in numbers that the present rooms are crowded. A commit- tee is appointed to plan on reseating the room, and to secure new chairs and other furnishings, in the hope that by thus rearranging all can be better ac- commodated.

Norling, who has just finished the frescoing work on the new county urt house. The scaffolding is already in place and there is no occasion for any delay. It is expected that the work will require aout five weeks to be completed. Mr. Norling’s contract amounts to $700. The altars, three in number, are in position; and are very handsome. The center one cost $800, and is the gift of Peter Wies, The other two, costing $350 oeach, are the gins of John Mergen and his brother. The pews are in the build- ing ready to be set as soon as the other work is finished. It is the present in- tention to have the church consecrated on St. Joseph’s day, March 19, and Bishop Cosgrove, of Davenport, will be here then. The total costof everything complete, lot and all, will be #18,000. The society is so well satistied with its success 1n building the church that they are already talking of erecting a parochial school building on the vacant lot east of the church, some- time within the next year. They are in a most flourishing financial condi- tion, and have a fine church edifice nearly completed and paid for., The other Catholic society of the city under the guidance of Father McMen- omy will soon move into their elegant new church building on the corner of Fifth avenue and Sixth street. As soon a8 the furniture is placed in position this imposing structure, costing $43,000, will be complete. It is that the conse- cration exercises will take place on Easter Sunday. e Travelers!

It is now a settled fact that Jacob Neumayer will increase his hotel facili- ties on upper Broadway, and the plans for the addition are already completed. The new part will have a thirty-four foot front and will be sixty feet deep. The lower floor will be divided into two store rooms, one twenty and the other fourteen by sixty feet. It will be three stories high and will contain thirty-four rooms on the second and third oors. The part now in use will be remodeled 80 88 to give good office, parlors and nineteen sleeping rooms. The whole building complete will have a frontage of sixty-nine feet, and will contain about sixty rooms. Mv. Neumayer pro- poses to cventually replace the old part with a fine three-story building, but foels unublo to do so at present. He “claims that since his bar was closed there has been a very heavy reduction in his profits, nud that unless there is a rospect for reopening it he will have make haste & little more slowly. He has done decidedly well in his present Tocation, and his facilitics have luug been taxed to the utmost, It is hoped that the enlargement will result favor- ably, and the BEE wishes him abundant success. — : 8.

They Are Rapidly Nearing Comple- tion—The Prospect For Races This Season—A Bondsman Remem- bered—Personal Mention. Still Happy on the Way. Yesterday afternoon a representative of the BEE strayed into the quarters of the Salvation Army on Bryant street. His appearance created quite a little stir when he had presented his creden- tsals. “You newspaper men fight shy of us somehow or other,” remarked one. **We won’t hurt anybody and are only trying to do the people good.” This in- ssnuation as to repertorial need the seribe quickly answered by stating that he had already taken out a fire insur- ance policy on the future and his pres- ent visit was for news relative to the Coxncil Bluffs division of the ‘“‘army.” The members present were intelligent and gentlemanly and readily gave the information sought. **Who has charge of the army now ?” asked the reporter. *‘Lieutenant Dries and Cadet Arnold, but neither of them are here justat ent.” e What is your membership?” “We have fifty-seven names on the books now. They are the active mem- vers. We have had twelve converts during the past two weeks.” “‘Do the converts generally hold out. or do they mostly blackslide after a time?” *Why, as to that, some of them go back. They do in all churches.” “‘We have this advantage though,” put in another. *If they don’t stand up to the rack, out they go. We don't keep them along hoping they will do better. When they disgrace their colors, they are taken away from them. So you see, we keep our ranks clear.” **You think, then, the army is doing a good work?” A good work,” broke in another who, until now had been silent. ‘**Doing a good work! Well I should say so. Look at me. Put my name in the paper and say to the people of Council Bluffs and Omaha that it has saved Zeph Hughes, the hardest character in the two cities. I want my old associates to know what Jesus and the Salvation army arve doing for me. Tell them I fight now just as hard for the Lord as T used to for the devil.” There was no question in the mind of the reporter but that he meant ev word he said Suid another: “*A gréat many persons attend our meetin are « convicted of sin and are converted either at home or somewhere else. Many of thesé join the various churches, as they prefer. We have a good mem- bership, but 1t don’t begin to give all the names of persons who have been converted through the work of the army. . “*How do the ckh tion to your work **Quite a number from the Methodist church attend our meetings, but j now they are having a revi of their own. ow much of this is directly due to the work of the army no one can tell. The Baptists turn out quite largely. They don’t take an active part in our meetings, but they give us financial help, which is one form of religious work. Members of the other churches come in occasionally. Once in a great while a minister drops in and spends an hour.with us, but they don’t help us as much as they mightand as we wish they would.” “What progress is scheme making?” ‘‘Here comes Mr. Alexander, our sec- retary. He can tell you about that. The question was put to that official. “We hope to have our barracks lo- cated here within a year,'said he. **We have quite a sum already on hand for that purpose, and more adding all the time. Rev. Henry De Long is our treasurer. If he was here he could give you more information upon that subject than I can.” ““What is the average amount of your receipts per week?” *“Including the three Sunda tions we average about four day.” *‘How are your accounts kept?”’ *‘I have one book, Mr. DeLong has one and the person in charge of the army has a third, Our accounts are kept in there and are always open to public in- spection. In addition to this we render o balance sheet every month, which is read in our meetings. In this way the people know where the money they give us goes to. There is no possible chance for crookedness.” * *“You ought to save considerable money out of $28 a week,” suggested the reporter. **Well, our expenses are pretty heavy. ‘We pay %30 a month for this hall, and it costs considerable to ruun it. We save some, to be sure, but there isn't a very heavy monthly balance after our ex- penses are all paid.” “How do the papers use you?” “Oh, we have little to complain of on that score. Whenever a member of the army goes wrong (gets drunk or any- thing of that sort) the papers give it to the army, of course; but the fact is, we dou’t countenance actions of that kind and should not be blamed for them. We do our best to keep clear and ought to have credit forit.” Here Hughes broke in with: ‘‘A -short time ago one of the papers (the Herald) said that our religion was not deep enough to prompt us to go out in the mud. You can say we are willing to go into the mud or anywhere else to save sinners.” And Mr. Alexander added: ‘‘Such slurs are 00 contemptible to provoke any notice. 1f the papers commend us for our work we are glad. If they score us we go right ahead just the same.” . "fflow is the army in Omaha prosper- ng?” “‘)Pruny well; it is growing right along. They have a banquet tomorrow (Monday) night, and most of the army here are going over.” “Do you know anything about the trouble between some of the members there and the keeper of the restaurant where they took their meals? The BEE ventilated the matter last week.” *Why, yes,” said one, **Oh, no,” said another, *Of course,” began a third, and then all were as silentas the dead. **All we know is what we have read in the papers,” said one at last. And that was all anyone knew, **What new things have you upon your programme for the future?” **Well, we don’t bank much on the future, but you can say thaton next Wednesday night Major Dale’s wife will lecture in this hall upon ‘Eight Years' Battle Scenes in America.” Admission 10 cents; lecture to begin at 8 o’clock. ‘Whateveropinionsany one may enter- tain concerning the methods adopted by the Salvation Army for the prosecu tion. of their work, the honesty, sin- cerity and zeal of its members here are rches stand in rela- the barracks collec- ollars a surely worthy of .the commendation of all who seek after and wish for a better- ing of all human conditions., — Money to loan.

Peregoy, pr Union Driving Park association, stated yesterday to a BEE representative that Omaha is desirous of joining the Iowa circuit and having the race meetings begin there and work east, instead of west as heretofore. In that’ event the racesin this city would come off during the second week in June, instead of Fourth of July week, as'last year. The July meeting of 1887 was so0 successful that this association insists on repeat- ing the experiment, although they would be plensed to have Omaha in the cireuit. Council Bluffs has the name of being a good race city, and stands well among horsemen. It is very probable that that there will be a meeting here late in the fall, as the horses are being taken south for the winter. There is considerable talk of having a running meeting here in the early part of the season, but it is not yetdecided whether it will pay or not. Mr. Blake, president of the Cedar Rapids association, is in Ney York attending the national con- ress of American horsemen, and noth- ng definite will be done until his re- turn. It is very probable that a meeting will be calied some time during the next two weeks to decide as to how many meetings will be held here this geason. A committee was appointed for that purpose when the reorganization of the association took place and they have not yet submitted a report. As now constituted the association is composed of the livest horsemen in the ¢ they have undertaken to make t) T)’cntful year for this city in the racing inc. Mr. Peregoy says that the fair ques- tion is receiving considernble attention, but that it is rather doubtful whether a regular fair will be held during the coming fall. Tt is very probable that a cattle show will be held, but that there will be no art exhibit, as the association is not able to rebuild the hall this year. However, they intend to build one full, as large as the old one, yet not s0 e pensive. The outlook for the seas very promiging and it is fair to pr that the many expectant ones will not be disappointed in the faith that they have placed in the new association. e g If you desire to get a new Hall type writer . drop a postal card to H.

Being strangers, and not able to give bonds, there seemed no alternative for them but to go to juil and remain locked up until the day of trinl. At this rather unpleasant juncture, Mr. William Fitz- gerald, the Main grocer, stepped to the front and went bonds for the two men, as he knew them to be straight, and knew they would be here when wanted. The case came up, the wit- nesses appeared, and Quirk was dis- charged. It appears that the men who were thus accommodated with bonds are members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians at Lincoln. They and their brother mem- Lers appreciated the courtesy shown and yesterday gave expression to it through a delegation from Lincoin, headed by Mr. Kile, who served as spokesman. Mr. gerald was called upon and presented with an elegant cane. The presentation speech set forth the ¢ cumstanstances of the affair and the ac- ceptance of the gift was graceful and appreciative. —— — Personal Paragraphs. T. F.

It was late—after midnight—and as we got up from the whist table and gathered around the fire Colonel Thorn- ton said: “If you men are not too tired and don’t mind sitting up for another half hour I think 7 can tell you a good story.” ‘We protestea that we were never less tired and could sit up till morning if necessary. Sothe colonel began: **My father, as you know, was a par- son, but he took orders late in life, after having been fifteen years at the bur, and the events of which I am going to tell you he himself told me as having come directly under his eye when he was a barrister. ‘It was at the Monmouth assizes in 18— that a case was tried which became the talk of the neighborhood and coun- try for years after. My father was sit- ting in the court of the assistant judge when a note was brought him from a friend in the adjoining court, asking him to come and hear a case of more than usual interest, the facts of which were these:3 “Some time before a farmer’s house near Mommouth had been broken into and robbed by men disguised and masked, the farmer murdered and his servants shockingly ill-treated. Among other things which were stolen were two old-fashioned silver brooches curi- ously inlaid with malachite, heirlooms of the family, and although unremit- ting search was made and the descrip- tion of the lost articles made widely known no trace of the murderers could be found. A month or two after the murder, however, & police offiver in. going . throu & _common ng house 1n Bristol noticed a dissipated looking sailor lying on a pallet and resting his head on a small bundle!* {He asked him what it contained, and he was told that it was ‘only his kit.’ «T'he officer not satisfied, opened the bind]e and almost the first thIK to fall gut were two brooches made of malachite. Struck by their curious beauty, ‘and wondering how such a_wretchedslooking — fellow could have become possessed of then hesuddenly rememberetl the ad ise~ ment and description of the stolen ar- ti e “*How did you come By these?’ he in- quired. r “The sailor replied: *By chance. When 1 came ashore some time ago, with plenty of money in my pocket, 1 met an old seaman who was down on his luck, and he offered to sell me these things, which had belonged to his mother. I was pretty flush, and gave him a good price for them, although they were useless to me. And that’s all about it.” “The police officer, still dissatisfied, took him into custody. He was sent to Monmouth jail, the eu'mn'ues were iden- tified, and he was committed for trial at © on the charge of theft and . And,” continued the colonel, impressively, ‘‘as my father entered the nimu‘-‘t this man was being placed on the dock. *‘Tall beyond the then average height of men. and gaunt, with an unkempt beard and evil, yellow eyes, and though evidently suffering from his long im- prisment, he yet presented a powerful and imposing front. The trinl had begun and he had just been asked the usual Twslhm. ‘Are you guilty or not guilty?’ and had answered in a hollow voice, ‘Not guilty, my lord,’ when the entrance of one of the courtofficinls with a gentleman nw{med the proceedings for awhile. And here I must explain this interruption. . “A few days before a_quiet, gentle- manly man, a ¢ n Forsyth, of his majesty’s navy, haa arrviv at the ehief hotel of the town on a fishing ex- cursion, but the weather had been so adverse that he was obliged to look elsewhere for amusement. Turning to the landlord for information, he was told of this trinl as exciting consider- able interest, and so it came to pass that, as the prisoner took his place at the bar, Captain Forsyth sent his card to the judge, who gladly allowed him,as was then the custom, a seat on the bench. “The case proceeded. Witnesses were called toidentify the brooches; the servants swore to the figure of the pris- oner as resembling that of the mur- derer; no witnesses were called for the defense: no one defended him; every- thing pointed to his guilt, and the jury retired to their room. Ina few minutes they returned, and, amid the breathless tation of the,crowded court, the an announced their opinion that the man was ‘guilty.’ “Directly this word prisone: was uttered the who had been leaping as if for support against the side pf the dock, raised himsell to s full height, stehed out Loth his hands above his head, and, looking up,sexciaiméd in a brol i ‘Not guiltynot guilty.’ “The judge then asked him, as was al, if he had anything to say before sentence should be pronounced, and tho prisoner evied hoavsely: ~Not guilty, my lord. not guilty: before' heaven mid man [ am innocent of this crime. [ never set my cyes on the murdered man; T did no murder. Oh, captain, captain—" Tn his vehemence he - dressed the judge as if he were his offi- cer. ‘Tamas innocent of this erithe ns the babe unborn.” He paused. then suddenly, in a voi choking with feel- ing, he exclaimed: *Yes, yes; only one man can save me now; but he can do it, swear what you g The Lord be thunked, that man is here.’ “*A buzz of astonishment ran round the court; the feeling of awe that had held the audience changed to one of amazement, ‘Point him out to me,” #id the judge, ““The man who can save me,’ replied tho prisoner, ‘sits there beside you,’ pni;lliug to th tonished Captain For- th. The judge turned to Captain For- syth and said: “This man appears to Know you. I8 it the case’?’ *Certainly not,” he replied. much surprised; ‘I never saw him before in my life.” **Oh, Captain,’ broke in the prisoner; ‘yes, you needn 't start; 1 know you. Cap- tain Forsyth. & You are never going to swear away an inuggent man’s life like that?’ ** ‘1t is curious,” my man,’ the captain replied, ‘that you know my name; but I repeat that I never saw you before in my life.’ ***What! Not know John Williams, of the Neptune? The coxswain of the captain’s cutter?’ X ***Yes, I know John Williams, but you are not he. John Williams was the smartest man that ever served under me, and never likely 1o stand where you are now.’ *+Captain,’ re[:ented the prisoner, T tell you I am John Williams. A long illness, a hard bout at drinking and this cursed imprisonment have made me what Tam, And I will prove it cap- taing T will prove it if you will only listen.” “The sensation caused by this dia- logue wus immense. The judge, the members of the bar and the’ spoctators were equally astonished at the curious turn the affair had taken, and, though believing the man to be guilty of a des- perate deceit to save his life, were eagerly awniting what should come, ***Captain.’ continued the prisoner, ‘I am accused of murdering a man here on June 25, more than nine months ago. Now, tell me, sir, was not John Will~ inms—your coxswain—invalided home from the West African station on the last day of that month?’ “‘What the man says,’ remarked Captain Forsyth to theé judge, ‘is per- feetly true. His majesty’s ship, the In- vineible, sailed with our invalided men for England on June 80.’ “The prisoner wenton: ‘Yes, and I arrived in England at the end of July, weak and ill, and getting my money went and drank it all away that's how it was I was found at Bristol, where I had gone for another ship, and ever since then I have bheen in this accursed jail!” ) “*The fellow is plausible enough,’ again remarked Caj mh‘ Forsyth. ‘He is certainly about the heightof W iams. Well, my man, I suppose you can prove what you suy# . YAy, ay, Captain. Dg yau remember on the 10th of last June giving orders for a night raid on the native town off which we lay, looking out for slavers?’ ** ‘Yes, I do; to be sure.’ “‘And that we were five boats in all. And tho first to the beach was the cap- win’s cutter. And the first man to jump out of it was you, captain.’ **Well, thisis the most extraordinary thing I ever heard.” And turning to the judge the cnrmiu snid: *Every word of this poor fellow's story is true, my lord. e may have l»h @d it up some- where, but I'can’t hclp beginning to think there is something behind. My ship is still in foreign service, and T have only returned to take charge of another one.’ “*Well go on my man.’ “ ¢One more word; captain, and maybe you will belicve me. As we were light- ing in the town a great nigger came hind you with his ax and would have cut you in half before you saw him had not & man rushed between und stopped him with his cutlass; and yet not quite stopped him, for that infernal nigger's ax slipped down the cutlass and gashed the man’s head open. Who was that man, captain, *“John Williams,’ was the reply, “the coxwain of my cutter.’ Ay, ay, eaptain, and here is the cut which that ax made, and bending down, he lifted withonu his long, untidy pair, and with the other pointed to huge and fearful scar running for several inches along the side of his head. “Captain Forsyth leaped from his seat. ‘*Good heavens, you are right! But how you have changed! My lord, this poor fellow had not sailed from the Afri- can coast when the murder was com- mitted; it is impossible that he should be guilty of it. Williams, you saved my life; I thank God I have been able to save yours!’ ‘At these words everybody in the court stood up and cheered the pris- oner with the wildest excitement and enthusiasm; the judge said that in dis- charging him he must at the same time compliment him on his gallantry; and the foreman of the jury then and there started up a subscription for him which came up to something near £30. Cap- tain Forsyth ordered a chaise to take him post haste to London for the purpose of removing Williams from a place of such horrible associa- tions and getting him an appointment from_the admiralty. The people in- sisted in dragging the chaise out of the town with their own hands; the horses were then put to, and amid_the deafe ing cheers they drove off and wel never heard of again.” “*Why wus that?”’ some one asked, as the colonel paused. **Because it was a hoax!” “What?”” we all exclaimed. “A hoax?” We had listened breathlessly to the tale, which the colonek certainly told admirably, the prespiration stand- ing on his forehead, as with horrible reality he personated the desperate suilor. “Yes,” he said, “it wasa hoax. It was all a preconcerted arrangement: the captain was merely a clever accom- plice, who played such parts for those of his associates in crime who came near receiving their reward. This was probably his biggest performance; but though it answered well enough then, in these days of telegraphic eommuni- cation and multiplied navy lists, it vould be simpl i SPECIAL NOTICES. WANTs.
