George, the three-year-old son of John Lannahan, died yesterday morning of diph- theria. The furieral will take place to-mor- row from the residence, 1116 Eighth avenue, Ground was broken yesterday for the new residence of J. J. Steadman on Oakland avenue, The new building is to be a very handsome affair, as is all the work of Messrs. Allen & Bell. Complaint is made that some of the curb- ing put in within the past two years is al- ready crumbling. The contractors should certainly be compelled to put in curbing which will last longer than that. . G. Tipton made a deal with Omaha par- o8 yesterday, disposing of a forty acre tract near this city. Several Omabans are placing their money on this side of the river, thus iving practical proof of their faith in the fu- ure of this city. F. M. Gault, of this city, is one of those talked of as a probable successor to the late Manager McKissock, of the Council Bluffs & St. Louis railway. Such a recognition of his_ability would be very gratifying to his many friends here. The grand jury yesterday finished its bus- iness and adjourned. Among those ndicted were Charles Brown for burglary; George Gerspacher for assault with intent to do great bodily injury; John Grant, alias Kane, for a confldence gam Yesterday mas motion day in the district court. There was little even of this, and ad- Jjournment was taken about 3 o'clock in the afternoon until Monday morning. If there are 1o civil cases then ready for trial two or three criminal cases will be tried. The aldermanic committee on_ strects and alleys was yesterday around on a tour of in- spection. hey did not_drive through the alley between Main and Pearl streets, just south of Broadway. They declare that the alleys must be cleaned up, ‘and that the mar- shal is the one who should act. The contract for putting up the smoke stack at the new government building has been let to John Epeneter, The tower has become so blackened by the soft coal smoke {from the chimney that it matters little now whether the stack is built or not. Mr. George W. Thompson nas received the sad intelligence of the death of his sister, Miss Florence, at Denver, Col., of consump! tion. The deceased was well 'known b having made several visits to her relative this city. The remains will be interred at Rockford, T1l. County Commissioner Hetzel has become 80 angered at the way the Avoca Mail showed up the award of the county printing that he has actually stopped his £1.50 sub scription to that paper. Mail was able to get out this week, and gives him a half column of free advertising besides. Marshal Guanella has taken up the matter of having the alleys cleaned, and is prosecut- ing the work vigorously. Most of the par- ties notified are having the filth removed without further trouble, and those who are not will find the work being done tomorrow morning by the city, and_will be called upon - to settle the bill. The change is very g fying, and the marshal’s action is mucl preciated. The visiting members of the Omaha board of trade wlll be here next Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of looking over the proposed assembly grounds for the Chautauqua move- ment. Representatives of all the papers have been invited, and preparations are being made for a vleasant reception. Curringes will be provided for a drive about the city, and a supper at the Bechtel in the evening. Detective Horrigan and Officer Swigart, of Omaha, were in the city looking for Billy Woods, tho would-be murderer of his father- in-law, who fled from that city Friday night. Several parties were found who knew him, but no trace of the fumtive was discovered, and the ofticers concluded that they were on the wrong track, and recrossed the river on the 5:45 dummy last evening. ‘Work on the new clevator at the Ogden is rogressing rapidly, and it is expected to ave it in runni der in two weeks, By that time the tiling will be laid and the work of refitting the kitchen completed, so that there will be no difficulty in_opening the house to the public by the 1st of May. The exact date of the opening has not yet becn determined, but due notice of it will e given, as it promises to be a grand affair. Paul Giles, a_colored man, yesterday ob tained a divorce from his wife, Joscphine, 0 whom he was married in Omuha four years ago. She became enamored of a great, dusky fellow, Sam Jenkins, who was about twice the size of Paul, and who had a_record for having knocked *Texas” once twenty- six feet, his head slitting against a beer keg. Paul objected to the free way in which Sam hung around the house and the woman, and Josephine got miffed at the rebuke and’ loft. She has not been seen since, and Paul con- cluded her desertion had been long enough to entitle him to matrimonial freedom. He got it. For cheap house easy pryments sce way.

The most important item was the award of the printing of the official proceed- ings of the board. The board showed its usual policy of dividing the plums between s pets, without regard to consistency or fairn The board at first determined by resolution that the newspapers desiring to bid for the printing of the proceedings must file their subscription lists so that the board could see which had the largest circulation. At the January mecting the Nonparcil and some others had no lists filed. The Council Bluffs Herald filed thei it. . The board sce determing not to allow the evening prohibition organ any show, und so postponed the award until the next meeting, to allow the Nonp reil time to show up how m: it really At the me there were on file with the b Traveler: A full live of croc! at Lund lh'o f The Nouparoil how up how many The inference to wn was not very fiattering to the Non pareil’s claim of being the leading paver, but it preferred sugar to honor, and had ' cvi- dently its arrangements well planned fos gotting the desired plum, without regurd to whether the taxpayers were getting the most for their money or'not. The board, without any regurd to the sworn subscription lists which they had called for, decided to give the printing of the proceedings to the Non- pareil, Globe and Avoca Herald. The action following o soon upon the previous one in regard to printing makes it rather queer for the board, In the previous case the board advertised for bids for print- ing blanks, ete, and although the Avoca Mail was the lowest bidder. ard furnished a bond which was approved as sufficient, it gave the plumn to the democratic organ by a party vote. The Nonpareil, although claim- ing ‘to be the republican organ, was very hush about it, and now it appears clear that its silence 15 as good as silver. It has its reward, Some of the rejected bidders, especially the Council Bluffs Herald, is quite’ warm about the collar, and _the board will doubtless be frequently reminded of the fuvoritism show Bluffs Globe, d refused to it really ha the Council had no list Blanch. The great mind reader and teller will leave day after to-morrow. If there are others who wish to know what the future has in store for them, call on her at the Scott house. She is the best in her line. Twenty years ex: perience and hus never madea mistake, The Strikers' Mecting. At 8 o'clock last evening the repre members of the brotherkoods of locomotiy engineers, firemen and switchmen enagay in the existing strike on the Chicago, Bu lington & Quiney took their scats upon the stage at Dohany's opera house. J. R. Diet- vich presided, and in opening the meeting ex- plained that Mayor Rohrer was prevented from attending by & press of officiul duties. As the first speaker of the evenng, Mr. Bryant, of Creston, representing the engineers, was then introduced, Heretofore our brothers have been subjected to the infamous blacklisting system, and fol- lowed from one end of the country to the other for alleged misdemeanors, When our committcee first asked an inter- view with Manager Stone, he refused to ant it, and when they finally secured an pportunity he flat used 10 grant any of the twenty-one articles asked for, and told them to strike whenover and us often as they chose. Mr. Arthur informed him that he ne submit to have the engineers tr future as they had been in the past. 1t 1s a fact that we have been mist aud used by this Burliugton company as no reasonable man would treat his dog. 1 worked a year a8 wiper for §1.75 per day, aud then by slow promotion year by yeur I' was mude an en gincer, and at the end of six years 1 was get ting as much as % per cont of the roads in this ¢ poy from the start. Wkhon the s wis st instituted the voad got @ - circular showing the people that if our demands were acceded to some of our brothers wopld get the muni- ficent sum of $200 per month. So we would, but'is it any more than a man duserves who works sixtéen hours a day ‘every® day in the month. Some say why did he switchwen go out.” It 1s wimply because they are cven wore poorly paid than the eugineers. | tell fortune er would ted in the ,the you there never was a nobler band of men than those who are standing out to-day for a principle, and they will stay out for that principle until they win this fight, whether it takes a week or & year. Mr, Morton says everything is running smoothly, and they don't want any more men, as they have no places for them. Tt is a fact that they don't want any more men—of that kind. here is no name mean enough for those men, who have lived off the free lunch counters of Chicago and New York for the past winter, and now come out here to take our plac I have no use for a ‘‘scab.” Great applause. | They tell you of riots, but it is false, and 1 am here to tell you there has not been a riot from Chicago to Denver, either at Creston or any where else, The presence of the imported bullies with clubs and tin stars is _what has excited our boys and has compelled some of the scabs to commit suicide. We will show that we know what is_right and we propose to defend that right. Henry B, Stone don’t dream of running that roud without ns. We have helped them pile up the £5,000,000 of a surplus, and when this settled we will go back willing _hands and hearts em pile up £5.000,000 more.” W. Rogers, of the firemen’s brother- hood was next introduced. 1 hold in my hand the reply made to our demands by the Burlington company, and I hope to show you that it is intended to mislead the public in every respect. We do not object to the classi fimtion system in every respect, but it is not Jjust to keep the new men on small pay, and fix the period of service required to make a first-class engincer at several years, and when he finally reaches that point to be de- posed for some trivial reason.r. They elaim that our schedule if_adopted would make too large salaries for their employes, In view of facts in your possession you kiow that this is impossible. While here 1 wish to say a few words in regard to the ‘‘'scabs.” It is inexcusable to ever pass them by without a good, sound kick. If 1 was possessed of ull the descriptive powers of Milton, eloquence of Webster, the voice of an Apollo and the tnahgnity of a devil, 1 uldn't begin to describe a “scab.” They comprise the very dregs of wretchedness, and I helieve that the citizens of Texas made a mistake when they hung a ‘scab” who had given up “scabbing” and gone to horsestealing, because he had made a great step toward reformation. A word in regard to the brave () Pinkerton men. 1 was much pleased with an editorial that I saw this morning in the Omaha BEE, a paper that T truly believe to be the true {riend of labor, It demanded that the mayor and ity council should order them out of the city, or make them show authority to act in the capacity which they now fill. “These men are little better than the scabs, and their vardice is well established; in fact, the wives of these men take them on their knees overy evening and tell them a nice little story before putting them to bed. Now, ladies and gentlemen, ask of you is a fair and investigation of our case, and that you arrive at a just conclusion. If we merit your respe ympathy and support, we ask that you will freely grant, and I have no doubts as to the result. Mr. George E. Bailey, of East S. Louis, was the next speaker, representing the Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Association. He had just arrived from Kunsas City, and al- most immediately began to speak. “As a switchman, pulling pins and coupling ars day after day, I wish to say that this tem of oppression, about which you have already] heard, has galled us long enough, We only ask simple justice. They They falsely say that we desire to take the management of these roads out of their hands. You can judge whether that is so. We only ask just compensation for our dan- gerous avocation.” Then followed one of the most interesting addresses of the evening, Lack of space prevents full publication. Allof the pe: kers were loudly applauded and it W v dent that the sympathy of those who crowded the building was wholly with the movement of the Burlington employes, who are making a grand battle for right and principle, all we careful J.

The railroads continue to put all the ob- stacles possible in the way of the motor line, and with apparently no reason, although doubtless they have some occult one, which is kept from the public. Yesterday the Mil- waukee Paul officials were here, among them being J. T. Clark, general superintend- ent; D. Odlin, assistant superintendent; R. B. Campbell, division superintendent, and O. Bates, superintendent of depots and bridges. A consultation was had with Mr. Reed, of the motor line, and a contract was presented for him to enter into. The con- tract, instead of being the usual one, pro- vided that at any time in the future when the railway should want to put in any other tracks 0ss the motor line the motor should put in the crossin at their own expense, and should maintain all such eross- ings. In fact the desired contract provided that the motor line should bear all the pense of all the crossings which should hereafter be in. It also provided that the motor company should employ sucl flagmen as the railway' company mrzht s should pay for their servi company should have: control of them, and lire and discharge them at will. The motor company had the privilege of footing the bills simply. The usual c 't was sent to the Milwaukee company some months ago, but the company refused to enter into such a one. Now the motor company is asked to enter into this one, whose conditions are 80 obnoxious, The motor company takes the proffer of this new contract to be simply a refusal to atlow the motor line to cross the tracks, so the confer- ence resulted in no agreement. The ofticials left last evening for Omaha, and from there will proceed home, Yesterduy Sheriff O'Neil was enjoined from procecding with the condemnation pro- ceedings by which the motor line secks to get the right of way over the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy and the Milwaukee & St Paul tracks, Such is the condition of the struggle for o people’s outlet to Lake Manawa for summer amusement, — For Street Cleaning. A road machine is expected here this week from the factory of the lowa Road Grading and Ditching Machine company at Burling- ton. 'I'he machine is to have a week's trial, and if not satisfactory \Vlll be taken away without cost to the city, but if the council is satified with 1ts work 1t will be purchased at a cost of $200. It is run by two men and four Torses, and is claimed to do more and better work than twenty men and teams with plows and serapers, It is to be used on the unpaved streets, It can be used for grading, planing, irrigating or levy building, ~ The members of the council have much faith in it und think it is just what the city needs. No negotiatior huve yet been mado for a street sweeper, ai- though it is proposed to purchase one this summer to be used on the paved streets. With s¢ two machines the streets of this city can be kept in first class repair at & com- paratively trifing outlay, The counci realizes that the coming season will be an im- portaut one for Council Bluffs, and are fully determined that the public 'improvements shall keep pace with those made by private individuals, The Silent School, The efforts of Superintendent Rothert to secure special appropriations of $40,000 for the deaf and dumb institution here have been only partially successful, but still the securing of $17,500 as compared with 3,500 appropriated by the previous legislature, is commendable. Of this spec #300 is to be used for fire hose tinguishers; for boilers plant, §5,000; for th o dustrial schools, 87,5005 for the library, $400.

New York Tribune: Perhaps the nm~|, unique, if not the most impressiye figure at the bar of New York is Roscoe Conk- ling, he of the curly forelock and the majestic frown. Mr. Conkling is not in ordinary practice. There arc hints abroad of great fees that have been paid him in exceptional hitigations. He will ppear for Judge Hilton in the Stewart will case, and T am told that his retai ing fee in that impending conflict was a check for 25,000. The same sum is aid to have been paid him by the Bell telephone company, and the impression generally exists that the ex-senator considers fee: of $10,000 very small potatoes, indeed, and scarcely worth his while. Not that 1 actually know of any $10,000 fee which he has spurned, nor of any lowly li gant, unable to offer more, at whom his nose has been disdainfully elevated. Tt would be safe to say that he is employed rather for the strength of his name and political associations and veputation than or any extraordinary legal attainments. Aftér he resumed’ practice, upon the legislature’s refusal to return him the trust he had abandoned, his first case brought him into controversy with Mr. Choate. It was on a motion for a non- suit, and he addressed the court for six hours. The court ened iadulgently, for the speaker was an ex-senator. an ovator of distinetion, and it was his firs ase, although motions for a non-suit rely occupy half that time in theia disposition. = In beginning his revly Mr. Choate referred in that quietly sarcasti ¢y of his to the reappear- ance of Mr. Conkling and welcomed him back to the bar with much appar ent cordiality. I had much pleasure,” d the amiable Choate, “in listen- ing to the address with which he charmed your honor, and T shall ven- no other eriticismupon it than that s not long enough.

INV lTl\(I “ ANUFACTURERS, Forcible Address of President H. H. Warner, of Rochester. OMATNA \ pril 1888, —To the Editor of the By The recent address of Pres- ent H. H. Warner, of the Rochester, . chamber of commerce, isa manly, straightforward argument, presenting the claims of his city to the attention of those desiring to invest in its real es- tate, or who are seeking advantageous localities for the establishment of man- vfacturing interests, His views upon this latter topic are so full of common sense and are o singularly applicable 1o our own situation, in connection witn the well directed effortsof the manufae- tures bureau of our board of t , that we cannot do better than to quote the following extract. He says: Now, gentlemen, if two industries alone, the clothing and the boot and shoe industries of this city, will furnish employment to, or sustain about for! fifty thousand people, and with the natural growth within ten years from forty to fifty per cent., what may we not expect from a united effort to encourage other large manufacturing enterprises, of which we have but fe Reflect for a moment, and call to your mind how many manufacturing concerns have each furnished work for thousands of people, almost an entire city. Ofcourse sucn large concerns, employing a great number of people, are not so advantag- eous as smaller manufacturers, employ ing the same number of men, from the fact that if misfortune should overtake some of the latter the calamity would be wce, as it would only affect a few, while with large concerns many would be affected, causing a mora general depression for the time being. Large manufacturing concerns can be induced to come to Rochester. They must be encouraged in more ways than one. We must let them feel that their succes We must encourage them them our financial aid i itas an inducement to locate in this community. Why should we do this? many will “ask. I will try to explain: If every man would invest a little of his surplus in manufacturing concerns that re to rece such investment: provided the stock is offered by such concerns as lo- cate in our midst, the amount would be of little importance to the investor. Yet, if all capitalists, business concerns and _re: state_owners in the city of Rochester would invest 1 or 2 per cent of their capital in assisting manufac- turers to locate here, even if one in five were to be a failure, and the loss of 50 per cent of such in- vestment should actually be made, which 1s not at all probable, the growth of our city would be marvelous and within five vears the value of our real estate would increase at least ten times the amount that we had invested, eve., if the investment should be an entir» loss. We cannot expeet a few to do thi. alone, neither can we expect the mem- bers of the chamber of comme alone todo it. Neither can we expect our Jarge business men or capitalists to do it alone.

The come ef is that our citizens ha deawnke to the fact that Roch- n become a great city, and is about to cast off its village garb, That petty jealousies and envy are fast be- coming things of the past. Mushrooms are becoming palatable, and old fossils are fast being shelved and forgotten, A few years ago, from the best obtaina- ble information, & man who came to this city as a stranger was considered an interloper. ane if he met with suc- cess he was compelled to battle with jealousy, false rumors, and the compli- u||.mu~ that arise in business from such sources and the bosiness world besides. We have risen above all this, and to- day it is the prevailing sentiment of all to welcome, encourage and foster busi- ness and manufacturing, and the gen- eral sentiment of the tire city “We welcome you!
