The body of Leo, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Browtell, 927 First avenue, was laid to rest yesterday afternoon, Father McMenomy officiating. Tuesday evening Father McMenomy pronounced the mystic words whic united in the holy bonds of matrimony James B. Tusant,of Omaha,and Mary L. Sullivan, of this city. The district telegraph is having a real deal of trouble th broken wires. 0 breaks occurred yesterday, making a total of fifteen since Sunday. It is the work of malicious persons. Mr. Harry Levy returned to the Bluffs yesterday. There has been no action in the check case, details of which appeared in yesterday's BEE, and the nrogumlimy is the matter will be adjusted without resorting to legal pro- ceedings. In the distr'ct court yesterday the case ef Richardson vs. Scott dragged along through another day. At least two more days will probably be o pied with this trial. The Coffman case was put over until to-morrow, but it is doubtful if it will be reached this week. A strong pressure is being brought upon Aldermen Wells and Metealf to revent them from resigning their seats n the council. It is rumored that these two gentlemen ure not satisfied with the way city affairs are running, and that there has been some friction in the council. The people want them both to stand by, but personally it is very har- assing to any man to be an alderman and be active.

Monday night he spent in the ail at Marshailtown, and when released e started for this city. The police of this city were notified of his movements and he was met at the transfer when he arrived yesterday morning and per- suaded to buy a ticket to Los Angeles, Cala. He is regarded as a dangerous man, and it was thought safe to pass him on toward his destination. Eh g e Why Do You Pay Rent?

In a recent copy of a San Francisco paper is an account of a great sprint race of 100 yards run by Harry Bethune and O, D. Hartfor 3,000 stakes. This account sayd it was the greatest race ever rufi on this continent. Both men broke the record. Hart lost by four feet. The start was from a stand and break to the tape, and the distance was covered in the unparalelled time of 9} seconds. In a letter recently received from Hart by Charley Nicholson he says he recently run an 85-yard rate in 84 seconds, winning the race and $2,600. ‘Who his contestant was he does not say. Bethune will be remembered as the man who run against Campbell in this city and carried away 850 of the boy’s money. It is authoritatively stated that Bethune and Hart will lead the Council Bluffs hose team in the {ree-for-nll race which comes off at Clinton, Ia., in June next. Matt Mott, of Kearney, Neb. nother mem- ber of the hose team recently engaged, arrived yesterday and will remain until after the race, Hart is expected home in o few weeks, and Bethune will prob~ ably accompany him, The boys are de- termined to run if the necessary men can be secured, and with these men at %he hend it does not seem possible to ose. e Money toloan. W. S. Cooper. Al The Union Depot Will Be Built. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the railroad improvement committee was held in the rooms of the bourd of trade. The committee was called together to meet representatives of the various rail- roads centering in this city. What was done will appear hereafter in the future policy of the roads respecting freight rates. After this meeting was concluded the Union Depot company met in the same rooms. It was decided to immediately proceed to such steps asshall lead tothe erection of the building during the coming season. A second assessment upon the stock was voted to . defray the preliminary expeuse. Such 1and as is needed for this purpose will. be secured, by direct purchase or by process of con- demnation. A new board of directors, nine in number, was elected and the officers of last year were re-elected. The work is now taken actively in hand and there is no doubt whatever but that the union depot will be erected before snow falls again, For Sale Cheap—Lots near the bridge to parties who will build at once.

The new county court house is com- pleted und was yesterday afternoon turned over to the county board of su- pervisors, who met here and who in- spected the building cavefully. Mr Mann, of St. Joseph. of Eckel & Mann, the architects, was here, and accom- panied the supervisors in their exam- ination of the building. He filed his written report in the afternoon, and ap- proves of the manner in which the con- tractors, Wickham Bros., have done their work. There seems to be no occa- sion for fuult finding, and the building is pronounced by all as one of the best made in the west. Wickham Bros. being a home firm, it is gratifying that such a satisfu ry result is reached, but it is no surprise, us they had long since established their reputation for relia- bility and skill. The building’ is cer- tainly a credit to this county and to all who have been concerned in its erec- tion. Mr. Carter, the superintendent, has watched with an eagle cye feature of the work as it has prog and the county bourd has been hardly less watchful. There was apparently no special need of this, as the contractors have shown a willing disposition to do their work squarely and on honor. It seems that if ever a public building was erected without any suspicion or touch of boodlerism, this county possesses such a building. The board was yesterday busy set- tling with the contractors. The build- ing complete and furnished costs about 8165,000. Visitors to the city, judges of the cost of large buildings, have been quite unanimous in their expressions of surprise on learning the probable cost, and the bills now in and footed up cer- tainly confirm the’ feeling that the building is one of the cheapest as well as best in the West. One remarkable fact in sonnection with the bills is that there are so few extrns. They do not amount to $100. The only special ad- dition to the original estimate of the building is the placing of stone in the rear walls, where it was first planned to put brick. Had not the stone been used the appeurance of the building would have been spoiled. This change was made by a special contract, so that it cannot be properiy callad an extra. s e Wanted—A good, first-class harness maker. Must be agood cutter.

Clark and his wife, to which the city papers have made some reference, came to a head in the arrest of Mr. Clark. The information charges bim with bigamy,and recites that on the 16th day of July, 1886, in the state of Michigan, he married Lucy Smart. That he had at that time, and still has a wife living, from whom he has not been divorced. He was brought before Judge Aylesworth yesterday morning. C. H. Haldane, of Wright, Baldwin & ‘Haldane, appeared as his counsel. The defendant’s attorney entered a demurrer to the information, which was after- ward withdrawn and his client ad- mitted to bail upon waiving examina- tion. The bond was fixed at $1,000, which was not furnished. On account of the serious illness of defendant's wife a committment was issued and he was placed in charge of a deputy with instructions to allow his prisoner to re- main with his wife if his presence there was necessary, which fact was to be de- termined by the attending physicians. Inquiry of the various parties who figure in the case reveals the following alleged facts: Upon Thursday and Fri- day of last week Mrs. Clark visited the office of Justice Barnett and held con- ferences with that official and certain attorneys. She appeared to be perfectly sane and gave her story in a straight- forwurd manner, although she™ was deeply agitated and wept during the entire time of its recital. Her story, if it be true, reveals a series o} acts begin- ning in duplicity and crime and ending in horrible cruelty which is rarely the duty of the newspaper to chronicle. Her story is substantially as follows: During the summer of 1886 she, Lucy Smart, met ‘William Clavk in Michigan. He repre- sented himself to be a single man and the chance meeting developed into a seeking of her hand in marriage. He was several years her senior, (being about or above fifty years of age) but this fact she overlooked and con- sented to take him ‘‘for better or worse.” The ceremony took place on the 16th of July of that year, Some time after this union was effected they moved to Coun- cil Bluffs. She was the possessor of a little money, and in order to secure this her husband began a system of treat- ment intended to bring about the de- sired end. = This treatment did not reach its maximum of cruelty until re- cently, and which has resulted 1n de- throning her reason. During the month of October last Mrs. Clark received a letter purportin, to be written by a son of her husbau g‘y a former wife, living at Lena. Ill. 'his letter gave the facts which have since appeared in the case. Astounded and nearly heart broken she left her husband and went to her parents, who reside in the state of Illinois.. Hoere she remained forabouttwomonths. During this time her husband learned of her whereabouts and- wrote to her several times. In these letters he admitted his duplicity, but at last stated that he hus now secured a divorce from his first wfie and earnestly wished for her re- turn, Contrary to the wishesof her rents she consented to return. She elt keenly the disgrace attending the birth of her child under the then exist- ing circumstances, and it was consider- ations of this character lurfle:{y that moved her to return to her pseudo hus- band. After her arrival here she was shown some kind of a paper which, in her Ifiunrmlco of legal forms, she be- lieved to be a copy of the divorce. This, it is now slleged, was prepared to quiet the fears of the wife so that the plans of the husband might be accomplished. One day last week she learned that the claimed divoree was a fraud, und that she had been duped again. Then she vis- ited Justice Barnett, told him her story, and left the matter in his hanas tor attention, The officer became inter- ested in the tale of wrongana suffering, and after sl'.h!yinfl himself as to its truth, he flled the information and the arrest followed. The case has been given to the grand jury and evidence in the casé is being submitted for their consideration. In order to present the case fully the reporter sought Mr. Clark to secure his statemen The following interview took place: “Mr. Clark, have you anything to say in reference to your case for publication in the BEk?" 0“Why, yes. You can say that I am married to only one woman, and the ('hnrfeol bigamy is false and there is nothing whatever out of which to make this case.” ‘*Have you ever been married before?” “Well, yes: but what is the use of bringing u[) those old matters. They are all settled. long ago and my wife is fully satisfied.*’ “Are you divorced from your first wife?” *Of course I am. If any one wishes to find out about that they can write to Rockford, I11." (It is stated upon good authority that his first wife is now suing for a divorce in that court, but the pro- ceedings are not yet closed.) *‘How about your relations with your wife? They are pleasant, I presume?” “My wife thinksthe world of me, and when she finds out what has happened it will kill her.” “‘How about your efforts to get her money?” *“Why she has some money in the bank which I gave her; also some lots. I don’t want her property.” Mrs. Clark is very sick and will prob- ably require the attention of the insane commissioners. In the meantime Mr. Clark languishes in duress vile until the investigation by the grand jury shall be completed. p e SE— Take Notice, Notice is hereby given that at the next annual meeting of the S.

The case in which it is sought to wrest Fairmount park away from the city came up before Judge Aylesworth, in the superior court yesterday, but went over again until this morning. A number of, the defendants appeared by Mr. Simms, as their attorney. There are numerous motions to be disposed ot, before the real merits of the case are reached, if indeed there are any merits to it. The park commissioners, backed by the city council, are doing what they can to defend the rights of the city, and the beautiful park will never be gobbled up by private parties, unless at the end of a contest which will make gray gaired, and long purses v One of the troubles, how £ the money which ought to be used in developing and improving the parks, will need be spent in fighting the cases in court. The public is anxious for numerous improvements and conven- iences, but there seems little ground for expecting these to be made, until the present litigation is at an end. The l]olne; in securing such improvements can hardly be lain up against the park commissioners, but rather against those private citizens who are forcing the fight in court, in the hope of wresting the park from the city, or compelling the city to pay liberally for a settle- ment. There is much indignation ex- pressed at the lack of public spirit, and the peculiar way in which these citi- zens are trying ‘‘to build up Council Bluffs.” e S. B. Wadsworth & Co. loan money.

The discussion of the individual cases has been lost sight of in the discussion of the principals in- volved, as to whether corporal punish- ment should be allowed at all or not. As an expression of the sentiment of many of the citizens, the following peti- tion has been prepared and is being cir- culated. It is receiving many signa- tures. [t reads as follows: “We, the undersigned residents of Council Bluffs, respectfully petition wnd entreat the general assembly of Towa to revent, by the enactment of suitable aws, the corporal punishment of schol- ars in the public schools of the state. The recent barbarous punishment of children in some of the public schools of this county have excited great indig- nation. “In Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia and other great cities of this country, the infliction of corporal unishment has been abolished by law ’:w years, and yet the discipline of the school has been well maintained. *Your petitioners therefore ask that the stigma and reproach upon the repu- tation of the state and itg schools, that l)ropur discipline cannot be maintained n them by the same gentle methods that prevail in eastern schools, that are open to receive children from the scums of creation, shall be abolished, and this twin relic of slavery and foul blot upon our civilization be removed.’* Signed by Horace Everett, N.

They know less about what they are going to get for their money than is jnst or right. It seems that there is one plumbing concern in this city who appreciate the position the builders are in, and has set off'a part of their office and gas fixture room for what they are pleased to call ‘‘a model bath room of moderate cost.” It is a complete affair, and, persons who are about to build or want to improve the houses they already own, will do well to see this bath room.

THE POLICE POWERLESS. Thieves in San Francisco Sacking the City With Tmpunity. SAN Fraxcisco, Feb. 15.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEE.|—For several weeks this city has been overrun with thieves of every deseription. It is literally at the mercy of a well organized gang. Within three weeks there have been net less than seventy-five burglaries and robberies, mainly in the west- ern addition, where the cracksmen have things their own way. Well-to-do-looking ch('utrhms who have been out late at night ave been “held up” 8o often that most peo- ple whose business calls them out late now go armed. Half the police force, in the transparent disguise of citizens clothes, have been put on duty in the western addition, but as all the detectives in the city do their brain work through the medium of stool pigeons and go-betweens, the gang knew of this order a8 800 a8 it was issued and stopped opera- tions in that quarter. The gang is not averse to a bit of humor, for among their very first operations here they jokingly bade deflance to the whole police force by entering the house of Chief of Police Crowley while the family were all at home and geiting. away with §1,500 worth of jewelry. Although the whole force is on the search, not a jewel has been recovered or an arrest made. And the same is true of all the robberies that have been committed. The particular gang thatis now rejnforcing the native talent of the city came here with a circus three or four weeks ago and has had a very easy and prof- itable engagement. The first thing the rob- bers did on reaching the city was to go to an official in the police department who has had the thrift to become a millionaire on a salary of less than $300 a month. They told him they would like to have protection and ac- companied the request with a substantial in- ducement, The oficial locked up the money and then told them to go ahead. “But,” he added, *‘look out that you don't get caught.” They kicked at that and wanted to know if he was going to take their money and then give them that kind of protection. ‘‘That's all right,” said he, ‘you look out that you don’t get caught.”” And they went ahead ‘with impunity and not one of them has been caught.

After talk- ing to twenty different politicians about the matter, 8 reporter this morning called on Mr. Depew himself.

Bow Feb. 15.—[Special Telegram to the E ~—Mrs. Charlotte Smith, an investi- gating agent of Senator Blair's committee, will appear before the legislative committee on child labor. The special subject on which she is to plead is the custom of procuring young girls for houses of ill repute from in- telligence oftices of the city, She has amassed a number of aftidavits of young women who have applied for employment and been sent to disreputable houses, The girls are em- ployed as nurse girls, housekcepers, etc., and often when too late find themselves hopeless- 1y ensnared. These statements are backed by scores of afidavits taken regularly by a magistrate. One case particularly aggravat- ing, recites how a thirteen year old girl was detained by a well known Boston sporting man in a road house resort at one of the beaches. Mrs. Smith in disguise visited an intelligence office, and on her applicatii told she could have girls in twe hours. The testimony she has received is appalling, . - Live Stock Express.
