By order W. M. ’ A marriage license was issued yester- day to James Christenson and Johanna Sorenson, both of this county. The interior of the Broadway fire house has been “shot” by the photo- grapher, and it makes a very neat pic- ture. The muddy roads have cut down the receipts of country produce, and corn has gone up from 38 to 39 und 40 cents at the city market. 1t is now confidently stated that the motor line to Lake Manawa will be ready to start full operations by the 15th of April. If ready thus early & success- ful opening of the season is assured. The vinegar factory started up yester- day. Within a day or two everything wi{l be running smoothly and the estab- lishment will then be run to its full capacity. P. H. Wind, one of the directors of the new State Savings bank,is fitting up the rooms of the institution and getun, them in readiness for the opening of business about March 1st. J. Gilbert is engaged in putting down drive wells to supply water to the air compressor engines operating at the new bridge. Four of these wells are now in successful operation, which gives \bnum.e(ul supply of the aqueous Huid. C. H. Kellogg, of Sioux City, the owner of considerable realty in the city, is preparing to build a two-story brick block just south of the present store of Odell & Bryant, on Pearl street. When completed this firm will occupy it. ‘Work upon it will begin about April 1. Another phase is to be put upon the occupation of the lands near the rives by the so-called squatters. were secured yesterday against these occupants of the land, restraining them from in any way interfering with the owners, and forbidding them from culti- vntimf the land, or even trespassing upon it. An overcoat belonging to John Rey- nolds was stolen from the third story of the Bloomer school Monday afternoon. It was found in an Omaha_pawn shop, where it had been “‘soaked” for 50. The coat cost $30. The smooth-faced dude who stole it will probably be some- what cautious hereafter in making his visits to this side of the river. Mrs. S. S. Nash died of heart disease vesterday morning at her home, 210 Knepper street, at the age of forty-six years. The funeral will be held to-mor- row, with interment at Fairview. Sam- uel Day, formerly of this place, but now of Sioux City, abrother of the deceased, and another brother from Grinnell. Ia., will be here to attend the obsequies. The path of the boarding-house keeper is not strewn with roses, as Mrs. Almy has found out, and she yesterday invoked the aid of the law to bring a delinquent boarder to time. Justice in the case was dealt out by Squire Schurz in double-handfuls at the customary price. The name of the delinquent ‘was Kehoe, and his brother promptly squared the matter. The Episcopal ladies’ supper last eve- ning was largely attended and well pat- ronized. A comparatively small part of the viands were disposed of, and a lunch will be served to-day and another sup- per this evening. The supper was pre- E‘nrud for the banquet of the Knights 'emplar, but as that was indefinitely postponed the perishables had to be dis- posed of, and the ladies took this method of doing it. Mayor Rohrer seems to be the lead- ing choice of the democratic party for re-election. -He states that he is will- ing to accept the nomination, but that he is not yet a retired millionaire, and it will be necessary for the salary of the mayor to be increased considerably in order to allow him to devote the nec- essary time to the oftice. It is inti- mated that he places the figures at about $2,400 per year. A live mayor can hardly be procured at the present meager salary, anyway. The contestants in the Fairmount park case continue to give evidence that they are still alive, although they do not appear to be doing much. Yes- terday the non-resident defendants filed nxhowln?' of authority, entitling the attorneys for the city to appear for them. Haldane filed .an objection %o the showing on the grounds of its in- sufficiency. It is impossible to say when the case will come to trial, but it certainly will not be until after the at- torneys have exhausted all the motions and cross-motions known to the legal fraternity. Judge Aylesworth did a good cash business in police court yesterday. Wil- liam Jones and Bill Beath were each as- sessed $7.60 for imbibitien. Mary and Kittie Jackson, two of the members of the Omaha demi-monde, were charged with being gloriously drunk. They were wrrested at George DeLong’s saloon, and he was also charged with drunken- ness, but discharged. Ths frail Oma- hans were nssessed $8.10 each and as- signed to ‘‘room 24” in the chyaail. ‘The members of the force entertained their company in good style. The Uniformed Knights of Pythias are making exfensive preparations to go to the grand emcampment at Cincinnati next June. It is predicted that several hundred will go from western Iowa, and as many more from the other side of the river, so that the slope will be repre- sented by a thousand or more. Bluff City division meets this evening for their first drill. It is intended to so perfect themselves in the drill as to make a commendable appearance in the rand review. Colonel C. W.

The cost of these machines ranges from $300 to $800. It is under- stood that a deal will be closed before very long, and that the streets will then be put in first class order. Such being the case, this is the last season when mud will reign supreme on the paved streets of Council Bluffs, e The King's Dnuthrl. of the Presby- ?riun hureh, will entertuin a sociable 'hursday evening at the residence of Mrg.

THE TRIAL OF COFFMAN'S CASE. A Jury at Last Obtained—Manawa Thawed Out—Farmers' Insurance —Streets to Be Cleaned—The News in Brief, The Bridge Company Satisfied. The leading” members of the Broad- way bridge company were asked yester- day what they thought of the official re- port made by the secretary of war, and published in yesterday s BEg. They re- plied very promptly and emphatically that they were satisfied with it. “Do you anticipate any further trouble about the matter?” “Why, no. We don’t sce how there can be, or how there ought to be. One of the chief complaints made by those who have opposed the enterprise hus heen that we were not building such a combined bridge as was contemplated. You see the oflicial report pretty squarely setties that point. It says: “The bridge is being constructed as acombined railway and wagon bridge, and in this particular is believed 1o be in accordance with the provisions of the act of March 3, 1887." It scems to remove all doubt as to what is being done, and whether the bridge will be such a one as the law requives.” “But what about the |)\m>n not being the ones which were approved by the secretary of war?” “There is some difference in the plans, but our present plans have ad- vantages over the first plans. It is simpl technical difference, mainly in regard to th gth of the spans. In- stead of having three spuns 300 feet each, we have the main span 400 feet and the two others 250 fect each. Of course there can be no real objection to this chango, and in fact it is pronounced in the official report a better plan than the original. If we are doing better than the v required no one can com- plain. The report of the engineer says: “The design metmy approval, as T considered that with a 400 feet span over the main chunnel and two 250 feet spans adjacent thereto better accommodation was afforded to navigation than by the th 00 feet spans required by law, while the waterway would be the same. “*What about the chunge suggested by the engineer?” “That is simply in regard to the car- ringe-way trusses of the two last river spans. Those two spans are not over the channel, and the river may never be in such condition as to ever permit the passage of boats there, in which case the trusses as now planned would be all right, but if the channel should ever change, those trusses could very casily b lifted right up out of the way. The change of those trusses in no way affects the grade line. We have planned for just such a possible change as this, and i.-t.’u comparatively unimportant mat- **You are therefore satisfied with the finding as it is?” “Most certainly we ave.” “But what about the change from Dodge to Douglas street?” *‘There were some insurmountable ob- jections on Dodge street—the crossing of Juion Pacific tracks, and the smelting works property—but’ the worst feature was the engineering difficulty to over- come & hump in the bed rock of nine- teen feet opposite Douglas street that did not exist opposite Dodge street. By placing a 800-foot span, leaying this nineteen foot lump projecting upward, might have caused an obstruction of the chanuel, and probably would, throwing the channel on to the east side from the west, where so much has been spent in holding it.” **You ave therefore satisfied with the finding as it “Most certainly we are.” et bhel 4 If you desire to get u new Hall type writer cheap, drop a postal card to H.

Office 105 Main st. b Al The Trial of Coffman, The Coffman case was at last reached yesterday. Most of the day was spent in the dreary task of securing twelve men asa jury. Most of the examina- tions were uninteresting, but the court room was well filled with those who seemed anxious to hear even this. George Drake was about the only jury- man called who broke the monotony. He frankly declared that he always had anopinion about any matter in which he was interested to any degree, and that whatever prejudices he had were al- ways 1n favor of his friends. He could not tell whether his opinions and preju- dices in this case would prevent his giving afair verdict or not. “I mean just this, that if one witness swore to one thing, and another just to the oppo- site, so that it was about even, I would stick by my friends.” He was at last excused, and the jury was soon after completed, the state hav- ing exhausted its peremptory challenges, and the defense having three left. At- torneys Ware and Myuster are prosecut- ing, while on the defense are Colonel Daily, Colonel Snpgund N. M. Pusey. r It was near the hour for adjourning when the jury was secured. Attorne, ‘Ware objected to the jury being allowe to separate during the progress of the trial, and asked that a bailiff be placed in charge of them to keep them together, and separate from the rest or the world, The attorneys for the defense objected to this, on the ground that it wasaneed- less 1nconvenience upon the jury, and that the jurymen could be trusted without being thus locked up day after day. n other cases it ‘'was not customary to thus keep the jury locked up, and when this case was tried before this was not done. Judge Loofbourow decided that under the statute he could not do otherwise than to direct a bailiff to keep them in charge, if either party objected to their being separated. After the o‘)‘oning' addresses to the jury Deputy Sheriff Cusick took charge of the twelve and marched them off. This case has been before the public in various forms ever since the 20th of July, 1885, at which time the trouble occurred which resulted in the death of Jack Main anda the arrest of A. W, Coff- man, she defendant. Main was at work for Coffman, and some trouble arising between them Main met Coffman at a restaurant jn Avoca, where both lived, and there they had a settlementof their accounts. Then an altercation fol- lowed, in which Coffman was badl punished by Main and whic ended in Coffman fatally shoot- ing Main. The grand jur{ which met in December, 1885, failed to find an indictment against Coffman, but in June following the grand jury then THE OMAHA in seesion returned a bill charging him with manslaughter. The case was tried and the jury disagreed, Now it comes up for another trial. Coffman has clnimedfiq‘!nt the killing was in self defense. e controversy over the evidence in the case has proved of interest on account of the promi- nence, wealth and standing of Coffman rather than on aecount of any effort of Main’s friends. for he died without any estate or family. Aside fpom the in- terest which would naturally arise out of the case itsclf, there is a greatedeal move interest because of the complica~ tions which have arisen, and which have in part been fastened onto the case. Coffman has been a thorn in the flesh to some, especially to some of the local democratic leaders. The party line has been drawn somewhat in the matter.aind in addition to this there arose a dispute between Coffman and Fremont Benjamin. who was one of his attorneys in the first duys of his arrest. Benja- min sued Coftman for $2,500 fee. An action was commenced ugainst Benja- min to get him debarred, but this was dropped. Another suit was commenced against Coffman for $10,000 in favor of W. B. Cuppy, who had been appointed administrator of the Main estate. So many chapters have been added to the history, that it has been kept before the public much of the time since the homicide. Although Main's relatives do not appear in the case, there seems to be no luck of earnestnessin the prose- cution, and this gives some color to the claim of Coffman and his friends that p are other motives stronger than e mere desire to see law vindicated justice secured. The jury ected in the case isas follows: . C. Hartwell, H. A. Smith, William Schoenning, J. Timberman, John Burk, Simon Reynolds, O. O. St. John, Francis Lowe, G. Larson, W. O, Barnes, R.

Tne furniture for the new court house arrived yesterday morning over the Milwaukee, and teams were busy dur- ing the day in conveying it to its desti- nation. The building is being cleaned us fast ns possible, Superintendent Hardin having half a dozen women scrubbing the rooms. The new furni- ture, consisting of chairs, tables, ete., is stored in the main corridor on the first floor. By the last of the week every- thing will be in order, and the county ofticers will soon after be installed in their new quarters. Mr. John M. Carter, supervising ar- chitect, will be through with the steam heating company on Saturday, and will then return to St. Joseph, where he will have charge of the outside work of Messrs. Eckel & Mann, the architects. Their work there at present amounts to nearly $500,000. During his stay in this city Mr. Carter has won golden opinions for himself, both as a business man and a gentleman. Uniformly courteous and pleasant to all who have visited the building, he has carefully watched the progress of the work, and it is largely due to his conscientiousand painstaking superintendence that the county is now in pe on of such a perfectly built structure as its new court house. Mr. Carter will ve many warm friends in Council Bluffs, and carry away sincere wishes for his continued success and prosperity. Bl E. H. Sheafe loans money on chattel security of every description.

Allen & Bell, architects, were ordered by the board of trade committee to pre- pare sketches of a hotel, which are to be used in furthering plans now under consideration by that organization. These sketches will present a seven- story building 102x110 feet. Several rumors are afloat growing out of this fact, but of the plans outlined by the committee absolutely nothing is known. This much may be said with safety: At this time three schemes are on foot and and all are meeting with more or less favor. Should that of the board of trade committee seem the most feasible and best meet the public favor, a syndicate will be formed, a first-class site se- lected and the building immediately erected. Council Bluffs is sure of a first-class hotel. T Sheafe loans money on real estate. —_— 8. B. Wadsworth & Co. loan money. ——— Personal Paragraphs. J. Mueller will return from Chicago to-day. Mrs. J.

The pro- gramme was eniirely changed from that of the preceding concert, there being but one op two of the numbers given before. e club sang grandly. The serenade arovsed much enthusiasm and its compaser, Mr. Tabor, who served as the accompanist during the evening, was cgllpd forth to bow an nc- knowledgement of the hearty encore. The lullaby, whi¢h was next to the clos- ing number, was also heartily encored. A very enjoyable trio, ‘‘Memory,” was iven by Mrs. Latey, Miss Pennell and fr. W. R. Wilkins. Each of these ladies also gave solos. Mrs. Latey won her way into the favor of the audience with her very first notes, and both her solos were enthusiastically encored. Miss Pennell gave as a solo, “‘Sing Heigh-Ho,” which was warmly ap- plauded, necessitating her appearance again, but she would respond but with abow, The Apollo club has thus af- forded the music lovers here two grand feasts, and they certainly merit more substantial encouragement than that they have thus far received. — ‘Theo.

Huntsville (Ala.) special tothe Chi- cago Times: A discovery has been made that promises to give to Hunts- ville a reputation possessed by few places in the United States. A rtival to the great Mammoth cave has just been found within a mile of the corporation lines. The existence of this cave has been known for years, but it was never suspected to be but one of many insig- nificent holes in the ground. The cave is what is known as the Bowling James farm. The entrance is small and unin- viting. A descent over fifty feet was necessitated to reach the main floor. The decent, of course, is not nearly direct, but can at no great expense be made so. Once in the cave, the party highted lanterns, of which they took with them as many as the three could carry, and started on their excursion. They were net long in as- certaining that they were in a tremen- dous cavern, and in order to be.sure of finding their way back they placed lan- terns along their path, and about 200 yards separated. The room in which they found themselves they estimated to be 250 or 800 acres in apea, though this is only a guess, since they could not in the darknesssee far ik any direction. The wall,'in places where they came in contact with it is covered with a sub- stance that,even in the timid light of the lanterns, glistened as crystal and in many places they came upon formrtions ?u{ious in form and dazzlingly beauti- nl, The explorers wandered about in one direction and another for two hours, and finally found their progress im- peded, if indeed not quite cut short, by a beautiful body of water. By thelight of their lanterns they were enabled to. guess as to the width of the lake, but missiles thrown by them as far as possi- fell in water. They might have made their way around it, and attempted to do 80, but after traveling a short dis- tance they discovered an en- trance to what appeared to a second enormous room. This they could not enter because the water of the lake partially closed the entrance. At this point there were indicaiions that the stage of the lake is not stationary, as the floor appeared wet beyond the edge of the water showing that the water had receded. People here ave delighted at their “find,” and have mamed the great cav- ern ‘‘Shelta rock.” They will at once alter the opening or approach into the cave and arrange for perfect lighting, 80 that a thorough inspection can be made. Parties who have visited Ken- tucky’n Mammoth cave believe ‘‘Shelta rock’ to be fully as extensive. A Remarkable Coincidence. Chicago Mail:' **You ask me if I am superstitious,” said a well known . hotel clerk. ‘No, not. to any extent. There is one thing, however, that I have no- ticed. There are certain numbers on the annunciator that demand more at- tention than others. I don’taccount for it. I suppose thoit isnoway of account- ing for it, and so I'll let it ge. But I haven't failed tonotice it. Because cer- tain rooms are occupied more than others is no excuse for it. “T'l1 tell you a strange thing that ha rened one night when I was on watch. t was quiet inthe hotel, for nearly every guest was in. I was reading a newspaper, when my attention was called to a number on the board which was uncovered. I glancgd at it, called front, told the boy to go to No. —, and resumed my reading. Iy a few minuteg the boy rétlirned, and said there was no response. Ilooked over the rooms that been taken, and found that no one had been assigned to the room in ques- tion. I didn’t think anything more about it then, for the wires frequently et disarranged, and one push on the gulum will uncover the numbers of three or four rooms. ‘*A little luter the same number was of uncovered in, and I called to the hoy and gave him the pass key, telling him to go into the room and light the gus and Inspect it. . If thereis anything that will make a negro's teeth chatter itistogo on such an errand. How- ever, he went, and in about ten minutes returned with the information that the ro0m was unoccupled, The number dropped again, but I said nothing more thinking now that the wires were disar- ranged. 1 wentoff watch and went to “When [ came down and picked u, the morning paper, the first thing saw was the announcement of the death of Senator Logan. Then I recalled the fact that he always occupied the room, the number of which had acted so strangely, when he was here. I am not superstitious, but I confess that I thought it a very strange occurrence. Itold this same story, I think to my doctor, and he laughed so heartily about it that I have never told it since ' till now. No, I won't tell you what the number is.” SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE.
