The Manhattan betting board last evening showed the following offer: 481,000 that Dr. Bellinger will not. be elected chairman of the second ward.” All orders for cake, chicken salad, ete., for the woman’s exchange during the month of March should be sent to Mrs. H. C. Cheyney, 124 South Seventh street. All members of Council Bluffs lodge No. 69, I. O. O. F.,are requested to meet at their hall at 7:80 o'clock this morning to attend the funeral of their late brother, A. G. Loomer. Paul Jens, R. Dorscher and Thomas Grum, of Minden, were yesterday broug}n, in to answer to a charge of con- temptof injunctions restraining them from selling liquors. They each gave bonds in the sum of 81,000, and were re- leased. The white-coated trees and shrubbery throughout the city presented a pleasing picture last night under the rays of the electric lights. The telephoneund tele- graph wires resembled silver threads running from the center of the city out into the outside world. The audience at the opera house last evening was very small as compared with the attraction. Janauscheck as ““Mary Stuart” was sublime. The sup- port was very good. This evening this same tal |i’ actress will appear as “Meg Merrilies.” The house will probably be filled from pit to dome. Although there is no rush for real estate a great deal is being done in a quiet way. W.W. Bilger reports sev- eral sales during the week, as.does also Johnston & Van Patten. Other offices are not behind in this business, and at this season of the year the outlook is very promising. Dr. Holby, of Iowa City, and Dr. Young, ol Burlington, two of the best speciulists in the state in ear and eye disenses, are in the city making an ex- amination of the pupils of the deaf and dumb institution. Some interesting and valuable facts are expected to be collated from this examination. A mass meeting of voters is called for this evening at the Masonic: temple for the purpose of putting an independent ticket in nomination. Dissatisfaction with several of the democratic nomina- tions is the cause of the ‘‘bolt,” and an attempt will be made to nominate good men irrespective of party prejudices. Nick O'Brien has concluded that he will not carry out his threat of ruuning as an independent candidate for city marshal. is policy will doubtless be to quietly knife Guanella, and at the same time apparently submit to the de- cision of the convention, and thus se- cure another term on the police force. Messrs. Isaac Johnson, of Omaha, and J. B. Christian, of this city, have formed ;eo rtnership to deal in grain. Their eadquarters will be in Omaha, room 85, chamber of commerce. While Mr. Christian will operate largely outside of this city, and Ao business elsewhere, he will, in all probability, move his {amily here and make Council Bluffshis home. One of the slates made up for theé re- ublicans has the names of Charles aite for mayor, L. B. Cousins for marshal, L. Kinnehan for auditor; C. M. Harl for city attorney. It is not known whether any of these gentlemen would accept, the nomination, if given, but they would make a strong combina- tion, and certainly would command many votes. The business of Architects Allen & Bell has outgrown the proportions of their present studio, and they have been compelled to enlage it to make room for draughtmen, etc. Another room is being connected with the main office, besides which other improve- ments are being added. When finished their rooms will be very fine. The body of R. S. Mansfield, the ‘brakeman fiilled near Columbus, heb., has been brought to his home on Sixth avenue, near Tenth street, in this city. The death of Manstield was a peculiar one, Insettinga brake he fell onto some agricultural machinery which was loaded on an open car, but it did not a; ‘)Qll' that he was seriously injured in he fall. A little later, however, as he was in the caboose, he suddenly éled. It is amusing to note the manner in which the official record is made up in regard to the award of the printing. It states that the contract for binding was let to the Nonpareil, *'it being the low- est bidder.” The motion to let the con- tract for the gzlnfln to the Globe does not say *it being the lowest bidder.” The record is as silent on that point as are the democratic supervisors when asked wh{ they thus give away about 8700 of the tax-puyers’ money. The Avoca Mail is conceded to have hd about 8700 less than the Globe, but the supervisors were afraid the Avoca {; nter might lose money by it. The nd of $2, which he filed wassecurity enough for the county. L.

THE TRIAL OF THE “KID.” He Explains How He Smuggled To- bacco and Whisky Into Jail—-A Missing Garner Farmer—The Republican Primaries. Coffman Not Guliity. The jury in the Coffman case, after being out all night, returned a verdict yesterday morning finding Coffman not guilty. In other words the killing of Jack Main was deemed by them justifia- ble. When the jury first retired the evegnin before, un informal ballot was wken and the ballot stood six to six. Then a formal ballot was taken, and stood eleven for acquittdl to one for con- viction. This one held out until some time later, and then the verdict of ac- quittal was agreed to by the twelve. This verdict was what was expected by nearly all who had heard the evi- dence, or were familiar with the facts. The case has excited much public attention from the prominence of he defendant, A. W. Coffman, an old and wealthy citizen of Avoca. There has been much zeal shown by a few residents of Avoca, hos- tile to Coffman; and in the minds of many the prosecution had grown into a good deul of persecution. The - bitter- ness which has characterized the at- tempt to have Coffman convicted has turned public feeling rather in his favor, and the verdict of acquittal is therefore the more gratifying. The evidence in the case is looked upon as fully warranting the verdict. It wasin fact seriously contemplated when the state rested, for the defense to rest also, and let the cise be decided upon the testimony of the prosecution wholly. This indicates how strong was the con- fidence that Coffman would be acquit- ted. It is hoped by many that now that this verdict has forever set at rest the question of the guilt or innocence of Coffman that the turmoils which have afforded so many newsy items from Avoca will come to an end. These who have felt hostile towards the defendant ought to be pretty well satisfied, for he has suffered & good deal during the past two years, having been dragged through two triuls, the former one resulting in a disagreement. He has been made defendant in several other suits grow- ing out of this, and the numerous com- plications have kept him on a coustant nervous strain, besides putting him to great expense and loss of time.

Leonard is better known as “The Kid.” He has served several jail terms and has been the cause of numerous sensations. John Dunn, while on the police force, tried to arrest him once about three years ago, and, the fellow running, Dunn shot to frighten him, but instead aimed bet- ter than he knew and lodged a bullet in the fleshy part of the fellow’s thigh. He sto xpcd. The latest charge against ““The Kid"' is that he passed saws, files, drills, etc., into the county jail through the south window 1n = order give the confidence man, wards, the means of escaping. O'Neill captured the contraband af and the grand jury indicted the “Kid It was his trial on this charge which took place yesterday, and resulted in his being found guilty. He admitted having passed in through the window tobacco and whisky, but drew the line at saws and files, He even went so far as to explain the exact way in which he used to smuggle in the corn juice and nico- tine necessity. He would get a half- pint bottle of whisky, and some tobacco, put them in a little sack, and then reaching through the first set of bars, would swing it back and forth until it swung far enough for the boys inside to catch on. One of the witnesses in the case, on the part of the state, was Schisler, who has been locked up for sixteen months waiting for his trial for the murder of Keating. He swore that he saw the fellow pass in the tools, and a request was made to haye them given to Ed- wards. The tools were used in sawing one of the bars, but vrompt discovery prevented any jail break. An attempt was made on the part of the defense to prove that Schisler had told some of the other prisoners thata woman passed these tools in. For this urpose, two men awaiting sentence or horse stealing, Witmore and Adams, were put on the stand, but they could not remember that Schisler had ever said anything of the sort.

Advices received by “Q” officials in this city yesterday point toward the success of the railroad company in the present strike. The following dispatch was received by General Agent Mar- shall from General Manager Merrill: I am officially advised from Chicago, where our president now is, that the report of an intended settlement between the strikers and the company is entirely without foundation. ‘We shall stana by our new men, and they can expect to hold their present positions as long as they obey our rules. A ru‘rulur freight, No. 14, arrived yesterday afternoon. Another freight was sent out at 5 o'clock. Everything about the yards was quiet and orderly. A report was circulated that a squad of Pinkerton men, armed with Winchest- ers, came in on the Rock Island Wednesday evening, and after drilling for a while proceeded west. Another report was that twenty-five Reading engineers with their firemen were brun&;m in the same evening, and quar- tered at private houses about the city. Mr. Marshall denied both reports, and said that there was absolutely no autnority for them. He informed a BEE reporter that it was really surprising to see the number of old and reliable en- gineers who are applying for positions. Times have been rather hard for them @nd they had resolved to quit railroad- ing, but the present opportunity came just in the nick of time for them, and they now apply for places, bringing their letters and certificates with them, .‘The strikiers on the other hand, are Travelers! equally confident that the contest will be disastrous to the railway company. They say that new men, green hands, are already doing so much damage and causing so many accidents that the rond c¢annot stand it long. —_— Sheafe loans money on real estate. —e Bargains in houses and lots on emall cash payment.

There was also appar- ent an earnest determination to select such men as delegates as shall faithfully represent the needs and demands of the city in the convention which convenes next Saturday. The feeling was every- where current, and found ready ex- pressions that at this time especially, the best men should be elevated to the positions of trust to be filled at the pending election. With such men as these upon the ticket it was thought that even in the municipality the re- publican party has a fighting chance. The First ward caucus met at the Western house. The following dele- gates were elected to the city conven- tion: B. Gardiner, John Hammer, M. B. Brown, L. Sherwood, W. H. Lynchard, M. A. Moore, William Sears. Mr. J. C. Bixby was the choice of the caucus for alderman from this ward. In the Second ward, C. 8. Hubbard, chairman, Ed Mott, secretary. Dele- gutes—P. Wind, J. H. Pace, i34 Mott, C. 8. Hubbard, C. Bosen,J. C. Mitchell. John Fox, Theodore Guitar. Alderman Peter Wind. Committeeman—Finley Burke., Members were instructed to cast the full vote of the ward. The Third ward caucus was called to order with Henry Warren as chairman and H. J. Chambers as secretary. The following eight delegates were selected to represent the ward in_the city con- vention: John Lindt, W. F. Supp, j F. Peterson, L. B. Cousins, . Haverstock, W. J. Russell, H. J. Cham- bers, D. M. Witter. Upon motion W F. Sapn, jr., was endorsed, with reco mendation to the convention as chair- man of the city central committee. John Lindt was made committeeman, In case of absence of any member of the delegation, the members present shall cast the full vote. The Fourth ward caucus selected the following delegates to the city conven- i A. N. Scribner, Huarry James, H. W. Hart, J. D. Ed- . Thomas, J. S. B. Cog- geshall, K. L. Shugart, A. J. Brown, and E.

It origin- ated in the present strike on the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quiney and the em- ployment of alleged incompetent men torun their passenger engines. This resolution embraces the gist of this matter and provides a remedy. It pro- vides for.the creation of a board of ex- aminers by the council, which ap- rflinleen are to be designated by this body. The board shall be duly ac- credited engineers and shall do their duty without favor to person or corpora- tion. Every person now running an engine, or who shall hereafter do so, upon any road inside the corporate limits of the city, shall appear before this board for examination as to ability to perform the duties of their positions. If qualified their names are to be regis- tered and a certificate shall be issued to them. If they are incompetent such credentials shall be withheld. Violation of this ordinance imposes a fine of $500 or sixty days imprisonment in the county jail, or both, atthe discre- tion of the court before whom the case may be brought. The resolution was referred to a_com- mittee, and is to come up next Satur- day evening for adoption. Itis claimed that the council has no right to enforce such an ordinance if it should enact it, and the prediction is made that the council will not make the attempt. Independent Candidate.

W. 8. Cooper. A “‘Scab” Engineer. Last evening about 7:30 o’clock the outgoing passenger train on the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy collided with a freight train at the Wabash crossing, about half a mile below the Milwaukee roundhouse. The Wabash switch engine was taking several freight cars up to the transfer at the time of the collisioR, and instead of stopping at the crossing the ‘‘Q""train smashed into them. The en- ineer on the passenger train was s:ormerl y & brakeman in the employ of the C. B. & Q., and has occupied an en- gh:eer's position since the present strike as been in effect. Some of the freight cars were badly smashed and the ten- der of the Wabash engine was thrown from the track. The Burlington engine was thrown from the track and dis- abled. The Wabash track was cleared in a short time, but the Burlington company had a force at work sev- eral hours getting their .track open; the forward truck on the Burlington en- gine was badly smashed, and thedrivers twisted out of shape. It will have to underge extensive repairs before mak- ing another trip. A few more such les- sons ought to convince the new engi- neers that one train at a time is all that can be safely depended upon to occupy a crossing.

A timely discovery by Alderman Lacy yesterday afternoon prevented an ex- pensive washout on Glen avenue. The water coming down from the head of that street struck against the paving at the corner of High School avenue, and instead of then going over the pav- ing, began to wash under it, and was undermining it ot & Jively rate when discovered. A force of men was imme- diately sent up there and the water turned another way.

Andrew Cassidy; of Garner township, disappeared from the home of bhia brother, Charles B. Cassidy, early Wednesday mofning, and a dilligent search has not thus far revealed any trace of his probable whereabouts. He had on when he left simply a shirt and pants, and an old pair of shoes. He did not take his watch or any valuables so far as known. Although he has never shown any symptoms of insanity, it is thought that h?s mind must have be- come deranged and led him to wander away, as no other theory can account for his disappearance. He had recently invested in property near Hastings, Neb., but it is not thought he started for there,as he evidently made no prepar- ations for luuviuf. or for traveling. He is a man about fifty-six years of age,and has no family. R — If you have a lot, house, farm or any kind of Bmyn.-rly to trade or sell, call on W. W. Bilger. e A False Flood Report. There was a report on the streets yes- terday afternoon that Indian creek was outside its banks and doing some damage in the southern part of ghe city. An in- vestigation failed to discover anything of the kind, although the stream was greatly swollen, and in some places nearly level with the banks. An im- mense amount of water was carried out of the city in that way during the day. e ——— Domestic patterns at 105 Main street. - Personal Paragraphs. H. C. Addis left for Chicago evening.

New York World: = About this time I was calling at the First Natinoal bank of Chicago, the greatest bank,if I am not mistaken, in America. I saw the bonds s\:curinqh its issue of national currency the other day in Washington, and I am quite sure the custodian told me it was the greatestof any bank in the union. Anyway, it was sufticient, so I felt like doing my banking busi- ness there whenever it became handy to do so. I asked for a certificate of deposit ot $2,000, and had the money to pay for it, but [ had to be identified. “Why?” I said to the receiving teller, “surely you don’t require a man to be identified when he deposits money, do you?” ‘“‘Yes, that's the idea.” “Well, isn't that a new twist on the crippled industries of this country?” *No; that’s our rule. Hurry up, K\uusu, and don’t keep men waiting who ave money and know how to do busi- ness.” “Well, T don’t want to obstruct busi- ness, of course, but suppose, for in- stance, I get myself identified by a man 1 know and a man you know and a man who can leave his business and come here for the delirious joy of identifying me, and you admit that I am the man I claim to be, corresponding ns to de- scription, age, sex, etc., with the man [ advertise myself to be, how would it be about your ability to identify yourself as the man you claim to be? I goall over Chicago, visiting all the large pork-packing houses in search of a man know, and who is intimate with lit- erar; Keople like me, and finally we will say I find one who knows me and who knows you, and whom you know, and whocan leave his leaf lard long enough to come here and identify me all right. Can you identify yourself in such a way that when I put in my 82,000 you will not loan icout on insufficient security, as they did in Cincinnati the other day, as soon as I go out ot town?”’ *Oh,we don’t care especially whether you trade here or not, so that you hurry up and let other people have a chance. Vghcrs you make a mistake is in tryin, to rehearse a piece here instead o {gohlg out to Lincoln park orsomewhere n a quiet part of the city. Our rules are that a man who makes a deposit here must be identified.” “All right. Do you know Queen Vie- toria?” “No, sir; I do not.” “Well, then, there is no use in dis- turbing her. Do you know any of the other crowned heads?” *No, sir.” “Well, then, d0 you know President Cleveland, or any of the cabinet, or senate or members of the house?” W “That's it, you see. I move in one set and you in another, What respect- able l)euple do you know?” “I’ll have to ask you to stand aside, I guess and give that throng of people a chance. You bave no right to take up my time in this way. The rules of the bank are inflexible. We must know who you are even before we accept your de- posit.” I then drew ffom my pocket a news- paper which contained a voluptuous pie- ture of myself. ' Removing my hat and making a court salaam by letting out four additional joints in my lithe and versatile limbs, I asked if'any further identification would be necessary. Hastily closing the door of the vault and jerking the combination, he said that would be satisfactory. 1 was then permitted to deposit 1n the bank. Robes of the Chief Justice. Boston Globe: These robes are all black. John Jay. the first chief justice, affected some of the judicial scarlet in his official dress, but this color is re- tained 1n these days only in the araping about the walls and in_ the uphnla\ul'fz All the gowns are made alike, the only difference being in the materal, the chief justice wearing black Chinese satin, while his absociates are robed in black silk, Justice Lamar’s gown, which is “a [ tovely fit,” cost him 100, and tike the robes of his colieagues, it is made of wide, straight width. At the bottom it 18 three yards and a fourth in with, and it comes down to his ankles. The gown has u narrow hem around the bottom and a broad one straight down the front. At the top it fa ganged to a yoke, which is short on the shoulders and forms a door scallop at the back. The yoke has asilk lining between the outside and inner one of silk. « The sleeves are a yard and a fourth wide and reach to the hands. The lining of the sleeves is formed by doubling the material at the bottom, turning it up on the inside and plaiting it about a quarter ofa yard above the bottom to & narrower uil’k lining, which nicely fit the justice’s arm. %h\a ar- rangement makes the lower part of each sleeve appear to be a wide loose puff. The sleeves are gauged to the yoke on the shoulder with many rows of gaug- ing, but not o many as the back of the gown, where it is a fourth of a yard deep. A new gown on the bench is subjected toas critical an examination by the wearers of older gowns as a woman’s Easter bonnet at church is popularly supposed to be. Justice Miller's gown was made in Paris, but all the rest of the Justices wear the product of domes- tic fingers and home industry. A Wash- ington woman, whose hair has turned from black to white in the forty years that she has been making these gowns for the supreme court, received Justice Lamar’s first order. Justice Field had a brand new gown all ready to put on when the new justice came to take the oath, and he lent it to Mr, Lamar for the occasion.
