Yesterday morning when the Burling- ton fiyer pulled into the local depota lady passenger, evidently thinking that she had arrived at the transfer, stepped {rom the train and entered the depot. She then lcarned her mistake and as the train was starting rushed out to get on board. The conductor shouted to her and waved her back, but she would not heed him. She had a bird cage in one hand and a large bundle in the other, and in attempting to get upon the steps of the car missed her footing, and had not Officer Unthank caught her as she was falling, would undoubtedly have gone under the wheels. She was much excited and gave as a reason for her haste that her husband had been in- jured at Omaha on the preceding day, and she had left her home in Burling- ton in response to a telegram, and was much afraid that he miggt die before she reached him. When she realized her narrow escape she burst into tears, end feelingly expressed her gratitude to the ofticer whose quickness and pres- ence of mind had saved her from a ter- rible death. e On the market for over twenty years.

Last evening there was a happy gath- ering of friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Burns. Yesterday was their orystal wedding, and a number of their Omaha friends improved this oc- casion to visit the happy couple and give expression to good wishes and con- gratulations. Some of these expressions were in asubstantial and beautiful form, Mr. and Mrs. Burns have a host of friends {n Omaha, and since they too up their residence here have forme friends rapidly and firmly. The well- wishers are not confined to those who red in the parlors last evening. e gathering was rather informal and thoroughly enjoyable.. - A DAY IN COUNCIL BLUFFS. The First Skirmishes Over the Title to the Park. THE DISTRICT COURT DRAGS. More Trouble Over Levy's Little Check—A Crystal Wedding—The New German Church—Per sonals and Minor Mention. The Park Case. The Fairmount park case was called in thesuperior court yesterday morning. The city of Council Bluffs was not made o party in the case, and filed a motion asking that it be made one of the defend- ants. The attorneys for the piaintift strongly objocted to such a proceeding, and the entire day was occpied in ar- guing the matter. (f the plaintiffs can succeed in freezing out the city the case will be practically settled, and victory assured for them, butthe city’sattorneys are not disposed to let thelr client suffer in that manner. The firm of Wright, Baldwin & Haldane, representing the plaintiff, are catching at every straw that can possibly help their case, and it seems to rest at present in a mesh of legal quibbles and technicalities. In the course of his argument, Mr. Bald- win asserted that the city had no rihgt whatever to be made a ({s!ondnnt. and that such a thing was entirely without precedent. Unfortunately for the suc- cess of Mr. Baldwin's assertion, a simi- lar case had atone time been decided by his own father, and in such a man- ner as to fully establish the city’s claim as made by its attorneys. Numerous references were read by both sides and the motion was hotly con- tested. This law firm, that is so vigorously engaged in wresting the park from the city, has several schemes on foot, and is leaving no_stone unturned to be suc- cessful in their attempt. Among other things, they dared the city’s attorneys to take the initiative and ‘become the plaintiff in the suit, but the latter were too well satisfied with their present strong position on the defensive, and invited the plaintiff to go ahead, and they would try to keep closely behind.

In the district court another day was spent in the hearing of Richardson vs. Scott. The defendant was on the stand in the afternoon up to the hour for ad- journment, and his cross-examination will probably occupy a goodly portion of to-dny. The case is being fought every step of the way and is taking far more time than was anticipated when it was started. It may occupy several days yet. ————— The P. E.

The case seems to have taken a personal turn and will be prosecuted with consid- erable energy. Since Mr. Levy's re- turn he promised Mr. Sears that his half of the bill would'be paid, but that Mr. Rudio would never get a cent, and that if he (Levy) only had the money necessary to pay a fine, Rudio would rusticate for his health for a couple of weeks, When Rudio was informed of the proceedings, he obtained a warrant for Levy’s arrest,and that gentleman was quickly taken into custody and car- ried before Squire Shurz, where he was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. He furnished bonds for his appearance and was released. He then devoted himself to securing the names of those who are in the habit of Yluying games at the Manhattan, and t is said that he will have Rudio ar- rested for keeping a gambling house, and will have these parties summoned as witnesses before the grand jury. Rudio was also closeted with Colonel Dailey to see about hnvinf Levy taken before the grand jury. t is some time since the proprietor of the Manhattan has had so much business on his hands, and it is suggested that he secure a {n-ox{lw look after his legal business so hat he can give his full time and atten- tion to booming George Rudio as the coming alderman of the First ward. The Manhattan has the reputation of being astrictly temperance billiard hall, and while cards are played there for cigars, that seems to be the nearest ap- roach of a violation of the gambling aw which can be touched upon. Ifan attempt is made to construe this into gambling the case will be watched with much interest. The whole trouble has arisen over the claim that Levy Eave a 85 check on a bank in which he had no money.

THE PRESENT COMMERCIAL CODE By Reason of Conflicting Laws of Dif- ferent Btates it Works an Injus- tice to the Creditor and an Injury to the Country. Written for the Bee by Lew Frank. A period has been reached in the his- tory of the commercial community when it is often impossible to find out the financial etanding of a merchant unless we accept his own statement and representations 1in relation to his own circumstances. It often happens that the statement re- lied upon is false and that his repre- sentations were fraudulent, but he has our goods and we have them not, nor have we the price agreed by him to be paid; he makes an assignment, or other- wise conveys them shortly afterwards, and we get them not, because one, or three, or eight of his many creditors, who happened to be advised of the con- veyance, were on the spot and sued out writs of attachment before we could get there, and, consequently, in the scram- ble, we were left behind. Perhaps in the next race we will beat the other fel- lows ‘by a nose.’ The failures also, of which we often hear and more often are interested in, cause great surprise, amounting almost to consternation; merchants who were counted as men of integrity and in high financial standing, after buying our goods, make assignments in which pref- erences are given to & number of so- called confidential creditors at the ex- pense of other creditors. In this case again, ‘‘we are left with the bag to hold.” It may easily be seen that in the in- tercourse between merchants of the dif- ferent states in a business way, many circumstances are required to be taken into consideration before it can be as- certained what is the true rule by which the interpretation, obligation, and val- idity of contracts are to be governed. There now exists acondition of things which, for confusion of the law, has no parallel in the history of any nation. What then is to be done under the existing condition of things which, for confusion of the law, has no parallel in the history of the nation? In the differ- ent states and territories of the union what law is to regulate the contract, or to determine the rights, or its conse- quences? What law is to interpret its terms, ascertain the character and ex- tent of its stipulations? Doctrines relating to insolvents, and especially assignments for creditors of insolvents have been conceived by the judiciary—federal and state—with such diversity of opinion, that the confiding creditor can not know when the attach- ing creditor will consume all the assets of the insolvent debtor, though his assignment was honestly made without intent to defraud any one. In some of the states an assignment is sustained, notwithstanding the fraud of the assignor; if the assignee is not proved tobe a party to the fraud. In other states the conjoint fraud of assign- ors or assignees is not sufficient to set aside an assignment unless the credit- ors to be benefitted thereby were par- ties to the fraud. In many of the states the assignee can pursue assets secreted or fraudulently conveyed by the assignor,while in other states he cannot do this. In some states an assignor may exact releases asa condition to accepting under the as- signment. %n some states gn assignee must sell the assets at public auction, while in other states he must otherwise dispose of them. In most of the states the in- solvent debtor may prefer some of his creditors to the exclusion of others. In many of the states, such old doctrines presuming good faith are applied, that it is often impossible to set aside a frau- dulent conveyance, no matter what evi- dence there be to prove the fraud. The orders of the chancery court must be invoked in other states for .the purpose of setting aside a fraudulent conveyance. In some of the states a complicated method of proving accounts is in force, while elsewhere the method remains vague and uncertain; the statutes of limitations, the homestead and exemption laws, the laws regardin separate property and rights of marries women vary in the different states. Frequently, in. the application of gen- eral law, a conflict between state and federal, and between different state tribunals will be found to exist, respect- ing the effect of certain stipulations. 'ersons capable of contracting in one state are incapable by the laws of an- other. Considerations good in one state are insufficient or invalid in another. The public policy of one state permits or favors certain agreements which are prohibited in another. The forms prescribed by the laws of one state, to insure validity of contracts, are unknown in another. Creditors and debtors should not be left to this interminable confusion—to the difficulties and uncertainties grow- ing out of the varying doctrine. Technical law will not answer. These laws are made by men who, in chelrl:g-. norance of business matters, have made them impractable, therefore they are unavailable; they are unwise, therefore they are unjust; they are deplorable and therefore impossible. There is no con- fidence in the situation. In the light ot a vast development in mercantile enter- prise; when we recollect that the trans- actions of merchants, manufacturers and financiers of our large cities, extend over the whole country, without regard to state limits; that no discrimination against citizens of other states isallowed in any state here, we must realize the necessity and policy of having uniform codes, uniform doctrines. If the hankrupt act of 1867 was defect- ive, it could have been cured, Defects are not limited to a bankrupt law. They are much greater in criminal and other laws. To add to the difficulties of the situation, each insolvent, except per- haps in a very few states, in making an ass! znmenl.‘zeneully exacts a release; he may, with impunity, perpetrate frauds incidental to, or in anticipation of, an assignment; he may hope for im- munity in many cases, by means of will- ing friends, a wife'’s separate ?roperty or business, the kindly offices of a sym- thizing jury, or the conservative and scholastic disposition of a common law judge (although most of them are men above reproach, temptation or preju- dice, the bench is eomposed of many such.) The debtor’'s neighbors, who usually are the only witnesses of his fraud, and frequently sit in the capacit; of his jurors, are not very apt to assisi the o:tidiwrn in making their money. It is all wrong. This is a % estion of broad national concern. There is a general desire among merchants and business men geaerally, to overcome the irregulari-. tles and ‘imperfections aristug from these causes, and to bring order out of chaos. Idonot know how this can be done except by oyr representative tq congress {0 show thelr chpacity to deal intelligently with the question. T seems to mc a senwe of its responsibility would impel congress to furnish the proper and much needed relief by pro- nouncing in favor'of an act of uniform bankruptcy—a measure which any fair- minded merchant could prepare; one which would meet the exigencies of trade all over the country—a measure which is simple, just and reasonable, but wise and judicious, in its terms. Such a law, which shall make an end to our troubles, establish the unbreakable order of our prosperity, and protect us from further calamity, should be in- scribed on the national statute book. It is a necessity of the first importance. It is for the good of this commonwealth from one end to the other. Interests, great and powerful, and the material prosperity of the country will be subserved thereby. It is wise legis- lation: The benefits which such a law would confer might be much prized. Its influences, certainly,would be widely extended. Under it justice might be meted out to both debtor and creditor. Many judges and courts might be dis- renscd with—complicated and tedious itigation would be prevented and ren- dered impossible—piles upon piles of law-books on subjects relating to insol- vents, frauds, contracts, assignments, sales, partnerships, ete., ete,, would be eonsigned to obscurity. Such an enact- ment by congress is not opposed to, and is within the grant of grant ef powers made by that grandest monument of human wisdom—the constitution. Everywhere in all this broad land dif- ferences of opinion as to its true theory and its proper construction in some points existed from its very creation; and while I admit the principle of local self-government is vital to our institu- tions, by a fair construction of the con- stitution, the rights of the several stares will not be interfered with. Commerce comprehends all that is in- cluded in commercial intercourse be- tween states in all its branches; and this is the commerce of a state which congress may control, while it may not control the ordinary trade, the buying, selling, the making of conveyances and contracts, confined to one state exclu- sively. It has no power to control trans- actions between citizens of the same com- munity, but may prescribe rules and regulations for carrying on commercial intercourse between citizens of onestate and those of other states, or wherever it is not exclusively limited to a single state. These powers were intrusted to congress for the welfare of the nation and its people. It has been held that the state may make and enforce insolvent laws in the absence of a national bankrupt law, and under these may discharge debtors from further liability on their contracts on such conditio§ as shall be reason- able; but such laws can only be applied to contracts subsequently made within the state,and bq‘:een residents thereof. But unquestiondbly there is an under- current of hostility to any legislation on the subject whichiit is impossible to ex- plain. "American statesmen certainty take a narrow view of national needs and duties. It is to be hoped, however, that intelligent vélief in the direction of this ({mm has not been practically ex- hausted and that such action may be taken by those interested to induce our lawmakers, in spite of the many obstruc- tionists in both housas of congress, to agree upon a codq not to be miscon- strued or evaded, a code which, if it bs imperfect, might be amended or cured; a code to meet the requirements ‘of our enlarged experience—one code can be moditied, if necessaay, better than scores of statutes—to make that code simple and plain—but to make it. TEo business man in the great mer- cantile centers, especially he who has charge of the credits, said to have in view but one great end, one masterful ambition, swallowing up all time and all energy alike in his lustful greed, much misunderstood to worship only at the shrine of Ma:nmon, is not bent upon all conceivable methods of gain, is not de- voting all his strength, all capabilities, | except for the purest, the most legiti- mate methods. He has grown within himself the life-soil of sacrifice, self- denial and some of the noblest virtues; he must suffer in more than one respect from a misapprehension of the nnnlp;gy between the laws and constitutions of the different states; in his conscien- | tious efforts for the success of his firm, his only safeguard seems to be, to stay awake all night, that he, like the early bird of old, may catch the worm: ever apprehensive of the dangers that threaten his house, he does not, cannot leave his post for a moment. But with a national bankrupt law, under which the just claim of one creditor is put_up- on a par with the just claim of another, he will have some comfort, may take some blessed rest from his labors, time to devote to something more than the literature of business, ‘We call ourselves the best governed, the most productive country under the sun and rhaps not far behind other great nations in éuterprise, in the mat- ter of internal improvements and many other respects. Our statesmen undertake to legis- late upon matters which they consider vast projecis, for the universal welfare. The improvement of navigable rivers, cutting of new waterways, digging an isthmian canal, building trans-conti- nental railroads—what to do with the hundreds of millions of dollars collected each year b{ the government, beyond ite necessities—our preposterous navy and wretchedly inadequate coast de- fenses, may all be subjects for consider- ation. But are the views and opinions on this measure which I entertain and which I have strenuously endeavored to impress upon the legislation of the country also to be considered? Are the needs of the commercial com- munity to be ignored? ‘We cannot pepsuade ourselves to be- lieve in such a misfortune. Like the fodden of liberty; let us gaze into the uture with that' expression of an inno- cent soul filled with a sense of pure and confident joy; let us beseech, let us lean upon the new congress which {8 now in session, and vaimly hope, while con- templating & bright and rising prospect, its action uson Questions which affect the trade and oQmmerce of the country will bring ns outof all the confusion, calamity and distress which menace us. ‘We wait in fretful impatience to know whether the existing evils are to be al- lowed to continue,or whether the future prosperity will be promoted. But if disappointment awaits us? v THEATRICAL COMMENTS. Ned Harrigan's Story of an Adventure 1 in California Twenty Years Ago. Edward Harrigan, the favorite actor, tells some amusing stories about his early expericnces in California. Nearly twenty years ago he was coming down from a small town to Sacramento by stage coach. It was a cold, snowy night and he and his comguqiom weye huil- dled closely together smoking their ipes and longing for the town 5&1\ to gppe . The ntafe driver and a Iriend vlerelfioldm a desul w}?v conversatio on the box, to which Harrigan 1fstle for want of something better to do. *‘Say, Bill, were you at that show last nlflm in the Eldorado opera house?” Were 1? "Well, I should say1 werey and Jim, if I ever lay. hands on those crows that gave that show I'll blow ’em full of holes, or my nime min't Bill immons. They ain’t worth a pinto’ ne. arrigan was slightly amused at this open-lmnded criticism, but the next words of Jim made him a trifie uneasy. “'Bill,"” said Jim, ‘‘you don’t mean to say you don’t know who them fellers inside is?” “No, I don't,” responded Bill. “Why, they're the very actors their- solves. Then Bill shouted ‘“Whoa!” to his horses and brougnt the stage 1o a stand- still. He descended to the ground and opened the door of the stage. *‘Git down!” was what he said to the occupants. They did not seem to un- derstand him. “Git down, I tell yer,” he shouted lgn(u, “or I'll pull you out by the heels.” The gen,;le within tumbled out with a great leal of grumbling and a great many threats When they were all ranged about in the snow, Bill looked from one to another and addressed them as follows: “I haven’t got much to say to you fellers. But this is the way it is. I saw you try to give a show last night, and you can’t ride on my stage. It's eight miles totown,and you can tramp it. You won’t suffer half what I did last night.” The driver then mounted the box again, whipped up his horses and diga peared. arrigan and his friends walked into Sacramento very mad, but not daring to give their experience any publicity. —— A Great Battle Is continually going on in the human system.
