Sullivan, who was sentenced at this term of court to eighteen months in the penitentiary for larceny, was taken to Fort Madison last evening. Hall and Whitmer, two of the hardest cases now in jail here, are still resting under their sentence and waiting for some motions to be disposed of before being taken to the penitentiary. To-morrow evening the old city conn- cil will convene for the last time, at which time some matters of importance, begun by this council, but until now not finished, will come up for consideration. The pumps at the waterworks are be- ing thoroughly overhauled. The large amount of grit in the river water makes this operation a yearly necessity and often an expensive one. Business is being pretty well cleared up in the district court. Yesterday there was a small civil case being tried. The criminal calendar is cleaned off, except one appeal of minor importance, which will be heard to-day. The next term of the district court will open April 8. It is. announced by the city officials that as rapidly as the various streets of the city shall become sufficiently dry gangs of men will be put to work with teams and shovelsand the mud removed.

For first . clags refined minstrelsy. this . company is unquestionably entitled to a place in the foremost rank, and will al- ways be assured of a full house when they visit this city. The specialties are of o most.pleasing character and the oarse buffoonery that too often is seen on the stage was entirely wanting. The “Drum Major’s Drill” and *‘Under the Mistletoe Bough” are two of the rettiest, features seen on the stage here his season. The whole: entertainment was beyond criticism, and anyone who entertains a‘prejudice against a colored minstrel show should see Halliday’s and hqv(o] that .prejudice scattered. to the winds: Special Land Excursions. : On March 20, April 3 and ‘24, May 8 and 22.'and June ', 1888, the: “‘Burling- . ton Route,” C.'B.- & Q.

After a long. illness, attended with much suffering, Colonel Robert Palmer Sealy passed into rest at 11:45 yesterday morning, at.his home, No. 208 Fourth street, in this city. Colonel Sealy was born in Somersetshire, England. July 18, 1885, and was therefore in his fifty- third year. He came to this country when but eight years of age, and made his home in Rochester and Geneva, N. Y., until 18355, when he removed to Rockfora, 11l At the opening of the war he was commissioned as first lieu tenant in the Forty-fifth IHinois regi- ment, and was soon after promoted to captain, At the fall of Vicksburg he lul’ the first regiment which entered the city, having been appointed lieuten- ant colonel.

Broadwell at Last Goes to the Pen—The Engimeers' Epidemic—Death of ©Oolonel Sealy—Hotel Improvements, The River Breaking Up. At twenty minutes past noon yester- day the ice along the western bank of the river in the vicinity of the new bridge began to break up, and in less than an hour there was a iarge space of open water between the center caisson of the bridge and the shore. About2 o'clock a large mass on the east and south eide of the caisson began to move. The enormous mass moved easily but irresistibly down the stream, pulling the huge piles from their places as though they were but straws. So short notice of the breaking up was given that but little property could be re- moved, and nearly 8500 worth of lumber was carried away. Seve ral hundred feet of the railroad track that had been built on piling from the eastern bank to the caisson was also taken down stream. The ice came down in large masses, and was piled in urieu several feet high along the west ank, and on, the solid part still stand- ing on he east side of the river. The large force of men employed on the caisson was put to work removing the nir{)ims and taking up. the remainder of the railway track. There was no ap- vreliension of the ice going out until it began. to break up. The caisson has been sunk to bed-rock, but has not been filled with masonry, and grave fears are entertained that should the ice break up generally and come down in force the caisson would be car- ried away and be a total loss. The first move began while the men were at dinner. It wasthe intention to begin putting masonry into the caisson yester- day afternoon if the ice had remained firm, and in four more .days the work would have been secure from any dan- ger, so far as the ice is conoerned. The piling and scaffolding around the . cai son was all taken away with the excep- tion of what few timbers fell across the top of the' caisson when the piling be- neath was carried out. The men weve at work at the bottom of the "caisson leyeling the rock below the river bed until hoon. This caisson is thirty-five .feet ‘deep aad does not stand in. exactly its ‘proper . position.

Broadwell, who issentenced to three years for obtaining money under false pretenses. The case of Broadwell is a peculiarly sad one. He occupied a prominent ‘position . at Logan, was known throughout the state, was wealthy and apparently prospering. in the money loaning and real estate busi- ness, when the complications arose which regulted in stribping him of his property, and causing him to be dis- graced forever. He ‘has been bitterly prosecuted, and it appearing that there were some who were moved by other motives than that of seeing justice fairly dealt out, much sympathy has been aroused in his behalf. "With no money to no longer defend himself in the courts, with but few of the many friends who gathered about him in his sunshiny days, the young man has been kicked about until he had about as soon spend the rest of his days in the penitentiary asnot. An attempt was made to get him pardoned, but there has been a strong protest sent to the governor and a strange eagerness shown on the part of some to keep him from having ‘any sort of consideraticn, This protest is not bocause they have lost a dollar by him, for it is said that his property has more than satisfied all claims, and that the surplus has fallen into the hands of those who are now anxious for him to be kept 80 securely locked up as to quiet any attempt he might otherwise make to get a square show in the world, One of the strongest indica- tions of the strange attempt to thus keep him behind the bars, is the fact that one of his attorneys, who has defended him in court, signs a protest against his being pardoned. flruml- well some time ago was taken to the })enil.oulinry, but after being there a ew weeks, got a chance to appeal his case, was rx-‘imwed on bonds, and began 10 hope that he would have & chance to get a fair and full showing of all sides of his case. His bondsmen we sub- jected to a pressure, and delivered him up. The appeal which he was led to believe was being perfected was allowed to go by default. For some time Broadwell has been lying in jail here, waiting for some action on the part of the governor, some of his friends making an appeal for him, As no ac- tion has been taken, and there is noth- ing o warrant the sheriff in keeping him longer, Broadwell was last night taken to Fort Madison and will have to pay the penalty, despite the belief enter- tained by so many thathe ismore sinned aguinst than siuning. The bitterness with which his prosecutors have fol- lowed him up tends to corroborate his claim that the chief purpose is 10 pres vent him from bringing to light all transactions and proving who was more guilty than he and who has reaped the profits of these complications. It has wls0 tended to awaken sympathy in his behall, and in view of the leniency shown 1n the prosecution for much less offenses, it creates a ’M“"f that justice 8 rathér lop-sided after all, ——— Found—Opportunities toinvest money and make 100 per cent.

Stop at the Bechtele, PRl A -t S Sick Engineers, The report that the engineers of the Union Pacific road were leaving their engines on account of the company’s in- sisting that they should handle “‘Q” cars, did not cause much surprise in this city yesterday morning as the move had been anticipated for several days. The employes did not ‘‘strike’ in a maunner to violate Judge Dundy’s injunction, but were suddenly taken sick and were ‘‘compelled” to quit work. The epi- demic spread rapidly, and long before noon the invalids might be seen in groups of three or four on’ every street corner, discussing their illness and wondering how long it would be before the company would issue the healing prescription. The indigposed ones were remarkably ignorant of how many of their brother engineers were affected by the strange malady, but were unan- imous in the belief that the disease was fearfully contagious. During the afternoon engines were run over from Omaha coupled together, and by 4 o’clock every one of the twenty stalls in the new round house were fuil, The fires were dumped and a system of repairs on a large scale were inaugu- rated. Agent Burns, the hend official of the company on this side of the river, was seen by a BEE reporter late in the afternoon, and said he expected every- thing would be running as usual this morning. At4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the announcement was made that all trou- bles on the Union Bacific was ended, the differences having been adjusted satisfactorily, so that the engineers who had become 8o suddenly tired and indis- posed when called upon to pull “Q” cars, would resume their places, When the telephonic message reached the Council Bluffs BEE office, requesting an author- itative statement to this effect to be ublished in the morning,one of the in- disposed firemen was standing at the counter. When informed of the message he recovered from his illness as if cured by a miracle. He fairly jumped out of the office, and made a bi run towards the yards, evidently thinking it was high time for him to get into the cab before soime one else was given his place. It did not take long for the news to spread and the invalids, who were scattered all over the city hurried to re- port as able for duty. Seiees Dr. R.

To the Editor of the Beg: It may in- terest your readers to know that the Chautauqua movément is making pro- gress. The citizens of our two cities are identifying themselves with it and the newspapers are doing strong and effi- cient services for it. The conference . of the joint commit- tees from Omaha and Couneil Bluffs boards of trade for devising means for the successful inauguration of the Chau- tauqua assembly in the vicinity of our city promises very hopeful resuits. My correspondence also confirms this hope. A letter just received from Mr. P. E. Iler expresses. the warmest sym- pathy in, and & promise of support to the Chautaugua. Although the letter was never designed for publication, there is so much in it of interest to the readers of the BEE, I doubt not you will checr{ull< give it space in yourcolumns. OwmAnA, March 10.—Mr. J. Council Bluffs, Ia.: Dear S| welcomé letter of the Sth inst, is at hand, and all you say carefully noted. Your views and mine are exactly alike. Of course our meet- ing was very short, and speaking as I did in regard to the location was to offsct a remark made by one of your people, and I did not mean to be understood that T was against it. Tam heartily in favor of the enterprise and always was and I have no doubt your selec- tion for a location is a good one. I agree with you that the land within reasonable distance on this side of the river would be very. expensive, considering the amount you would requir As I 'bave said Iam heartily in fayorof this eaterprise and will do all in my power to encourage it, and make it a success. I be- lieve it will be a general benefit to both of cities, and there is no doubt it can be made a grand success, With kind regard, T remain, Yours truly, P, E. Tuer, It is with pleasure I am enabled to present this letter, as it places Mr. Iler right wherein he may have been understood. I hope all our newspapers will kindly note it. I am confident all plans and purp s0 far developed for locating a Chau- tauqua in this vicity will, when fully known and understood, be approved by every person in both cities, who heartily desire the best results to follow. Hence we ask the kind consideration of every citizen of Omaha and Council Bluffs. Truly yours, E. HARKNESS, Secretary. ———— Domestic patterns at 105 Main street. ———— Felt From His Buggy. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Eli Wil- liams, & farmer living near Weston, met with a serious accident. He was coming into.the city and was upon upper Broadway, near the Western house, when a side strap of the harness broke and let the the buggy against the horse. In attempting to relieve him- self of the vehicle, the wheels struck the street car track and Mr. Williams was thrown violently to the gronnd, striking upon his head and shoulders. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to a convenient drug store, Dr. Cleaver attended him, and in a short time he recovered his senses and was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Fleck, at the corner of Pierce and Madison streets.

To the Eaitor of the Army and Navy Journal: My attentiod has been called to an article’in the Washington Capital containing a reflection on me for at- tempting, through a hill recently intro- duced into the senate by Senator M derson, o secure legislation providing that continuous service in the grade of major of officers in the pay department should be made the basis and regulate the order of their promotion. The bill referred to, prior to .its in- troduction in the senate, was sent by me to the paymaster gen his consideration and c mendation, 1 was advised, by direction, that he did not con- sider it expedient to make continuous service in onegrade in'the pay depar ment the basis of the promotion of such officers as would come within the pur- vicw of the proposed law. To this I re- plied that 1f he did not feel free to recommend the bill as drawn; he could strike out the ¢lause or condition he re- garded as objectionable. To Senator Manderson, who kindly introduced the bill, the entire object sought to be accomplished was fully ex- plained, and a printed copy of my drgu- ment on the subject of relative rank in the pay departiient, prepared when the whole matior wns bejora. the attorney general a few years since, was placed in his hands for his information. There has been no attempt to “‘play a trick’ on any one, but a simple effort to correct by legislation a great wrong and in- justice under which certain officer have guffcred for years through a miscon- struction of the law. Officers who were subordinate to the present paymast general and other paymasters dur the war were placed above such pr ously superior officers, at the reor. zation in 1867, through what is believed to have been a palpable misconstruction of the statutes; and, what waseven more & violation of its spirit and pur- pose, officers who were appointed from a Status of civilian were placed above those whose service in the department was continuous from the beginning of the war, Our view of the law was sus- tained by Paymaster General Brice and other promiuent officers, 1 have done nothing to be ashamed of, either in the draughtsng of the pioposed bill or in gre 18 Main Street, [T Pearl Streef. =—=THE FAIR=— Our 50c, Sale Commencing Monday March 12th, 10 yards Gingham 60c.
