The street cal line came in for agood share of criticism yesterday afternoon from those who Visited the park. A _transfer car was used on the line between Broadway and the tes of the park, and an extra fare had to fo paid for a ride on it. A pleasing picture is on_exhibition at the Manhattan and is to be raffied off, the pro- ceeds to be given to the Home of the Friend- less.

It was decided to go by the Wabash_route, the accommodations and terms offered being deemed most acceptable to all present except two. John Chadwell, a lad of fifteen, who has ‘been making his home with a distant rela- tive, J. D, Austin, has suddenly disappeared. 1t is supposed that it is a case 0f runaway. The lad’s parents died some time ago, and he has been since cared for by relatives, who are quite anxious to know what has become of him, At the meeting of the school board Friday eyening Mr. Foster, of Des Moines, exhibited plans of buildings, and finaily made a propo- sition to draw plans for the proposed new building, and if they did not suit the board wouid change them until they did. Noaction was taken 1n regard to the matter, and the board adjourned until to-morrow evening. The numbcr of flyers at the driving park is daily increasing.

The most satisfactory proof of the excel- lence of the opening lecture of the R: course was given in the sale of tickets terday moruing. Although the morning w rainy and the next lecture does not tuke place until next Wedn evening, there were over two hundred tickets for the course sold yesterday forenoon, and the seats re- served.

The attendance at yesterday's ball game between the home team and the Crane Bros, tean of Omalin was very light, there being but about §15 taken at the gate. The Bluffs boys looked very nobly in their new suits, and they played a strong even game that was u surprise even to their most enthusiastic admirers, The grounds were in very poor condition, the space in the rear of the home plate being a veritable pond. Owing to this muddy condition of the grounds it wus neces- sary to change balls e few minutes. o8 the sphere would quickly become heuvy and Extremely difficult to handle. The visitors played a good game, but failed to discover the enjoyable pienic that they had evidently expected to find. NOTES ON THE GAM The nm}flu\lwuwr was deserted and the majority of the spectators shouted their ap- proval from the judge's stand. Judge Decmer was a highly interested spectator and watched the delivery of the pitchers with a careful eye. Strock’s conching was one of the features of the game. It is a question who enjoyed it the more, Strock or the “other fellows.” ‘The new pitcher, Benn, is a daisy, and en- joyed as much as anyono the futile attempts of the visitors to find the all, The day was a little chilly, but the game would have kept everyone sufficiently warm if the state ot the grounds had not puta damper on them. tophienson made a few quest le de- cislons, but evened it up on the other side.

The yerdict of the jury in the Benjamin- Cofftinan case, by which the plaintiff is gi #1, raises tho question as to who shull pay the costs, which are said to amount to nearly #500. It is said that the jury had a hard time reaching an agreement, and it scemed for a time that they could not compromise, They finslly did so, the judgment to be 81, Some of the jury thought that this would throw tho costs onto Coftman, but it appears that Coffman offered to confess judgment for 8150, and as the plaintiff did nof accept this, anc the amount of the judgment of the jury is less than this amount, the costs will to e puid by the plaintiff. A motion has been TR0 to have the costs taxed up to Henjamin, and if this is done, the §1 will nov go far to. ward squaring the account.

Yesterday was, as usual, set aside in the district court for the hearing of motions and the transaction of other business not requir- ing the presence and wise aid of the jurymen, Hugh Thompson was before the court to receive his sentence for having one wife too many. The motion for a new trial, based on the claim that one of the jurymen who con- victed him was drinking during the trial, was overruled. The sentence was not form- ally pronounced, but Judge Deemer gave Thompson the assurance that if he paid €500 h into the clerk’s office on or before next turday, that would be the extent of the fine, and the imprisonment would consist of one day in the jail. If the money was not forthcoming by that day he wonld make the sentence one year in the penitentiary. The attorneys for Thompson assured the court that the cash would be pmd in, The Jones murder case went over for two weeks. One interesting question sprung in court yesterday was in regard to appeals taken from justice courts, Ordinarily these ap- peals go right to the district court, but in this city ther a superior court having concur- rent jurisdiction with the district court in such matters, In the case brought up yes- v an _appeal had been taken from ‘e Briggs’ court, and that official took ranscript to the superior court, claiming that there were no directions given him to send it elsewhere. On the other hand, it was claimed that the attorney taking the appeal asked him to send it to the district court. One of the questions is whether, in case the parties do not consent to having it go to the superior court, the justice can summarily take it there, or whether he ought not take it to the district court, Another question is as to whether the attorney ought not to see to it himself, that the case is sent to the court which he selects, and whether he ought not to follow up the case, instead of leaving it to the justice wholly. Judge Deemer after hear- ing the conflicting testimony, concluded that there were some nice points of law involved, which he would ha 0 consider. Grant, whose right name is Jack Kane, was yesterday sentenced to four years for confidencing a LaFayette county man out of a few dollars at the transfer. Kane has had a hard record, and it is thought that a longer time in the penitentiary would no more_than have evened up justice, although for this sin- gle offense he perhaps gets a full dose. - E. H.

The City's Credit Better, A very important change has taken place in the value of this city’s paper. A short time ago it was difficult to dispose of grading and other improvement bonds at 90 cents on the dollar, but they are now selling at par, and the demand for them is much in excess of the supply. This result is due to the ef- forts of Mayor Rohrer and the now council, who determined shortly after entering upon the duties of their oflice to change the exist- ing state of affairs in that respect. "The contractors appreciate the change, as it relieves them of the disagrecable task of hawking the bonds about for buyers when- ever they wished to turn_them into moncy. The result will also be felt by the taxpayers, as the contractors will take city work at lower figures when bonds sell readily at par an when they are a drug in the market at ar upward tendeney is noticed in e paid for city warrants. City em- ployes who reeeive their pay in warrants can now dispose of them for 90 cents, whercas but a few months ago they received only 80 s increase in the value of the paper puts the money in_the hands of the men ho by is ull they 1m'to sell their ange for the better is much appre- y all parties concerned, and it 15 hoped will continue it bR The oldest firm, and largest stock of wall pe in the city. ~ All the new shades in ingrains and valours.

The recent death of a man in Banks county, Ga., who had been bitten by a mad dog, has revived interest in mad- stones, of which there are eral in various parts in thestate, avan- nah N 'here is one ‘in Fairburn which is said to have been_successfully applied to about one hundred persons. But by all odds the most notable stone the south is that owned by Mrs. L. W, Gibson, in Columbia county. It derived interest not alone from the wonderful cures which it has effected, but from its antiquity and the manner in which it came into possession of the family. In 1748 a vessel from the East Indies touched the coast of North Carolina, where the great-grandfather of Mus. Gibson’s husband lived at the time. passenger who was sick was put off, and Ir. Gibson took him to his home, where the stranger was welcomed and nursed back to health, When about to take his departure he took from his pocket two stones, one of which he presented to Mr. Gibson, telling him that it was of great age, as he had been assured by the gentleman from whom he pro- cured it in Bombay; that it pos- sessed remarkable powers in all cases of blood poisoning, whether it resulted from covrosion of forcign substance, from the bites of animals or insects of any description, or from inoculation. Even in cases of small-pox, said the stranger, the stone had been known to oxtract the poison from the system, leaving the patient thoroughly restored to health. The stone was of a grayish black color and perfectly smooth. It was one inch in length, three quarters of an inch in width and half an inch thick. The stranger disappeared, and the stone wns luid by as n curiosity. No faith was placed in its medical quali- ties. It was not long, however, before an event happened which brought the stone into high repute. A member of M. Gibson’s fumily was bitten by a rat- tlesnak, All known failed. The patient had passed into paroxysms and all hope had fled. [t was then that one of the children thought of the mys- terious stone, As no harm could be done, it was determined to use it. An incision wus made in the patient’s leg, one inch above the spot bitten, ana the stone was inserted. As the stone ad- hered a scream of unutterabla anguish escaped the lips of the sufferer, as i life itself was being drawn out, In less than one minute the stone had changed its color from dark to a poisonous-look- ing green. Itwas pulled outand soaked in warm water, and applied again and again, its adhesive power becoming less and less until at last it refused to stick. By this time the patient fell off into a heavy ¢ only to wake toa tored health, He after the event, It was thus that the stone which was only kept as a jest became an nh{m'nlmz money could not buy, From all parts of the ast there were calls for the wonderful stone. The family subse- quently removed to Columbia™ county, in this state, where for 100 years this stone has been an object of curiosity to physicians and people in general.

Seven yeavs ago Shack Green, who lived nine miles away, was bitten by a rattlesnake. ‘When found he was unconscious. He wus put into a_wagon and driven the nine miles to the home of Mrs. Gibson. By that time the victim’s leg was swol- len to three times its usuai As s0on as the stone was applied it affected the sufferer precisely as it had its first subject, over a century before. A case which attracted widespread attention was that of Mrs. Williams, who lived near the plantation of Gen- eral Robert Toombs, in Wilkes county. In 1884 Miss Williams was inoculated from virus obtained from a mad cow. ‘When the fact was discovered it sent a shock through the community. The lady’s friends at once resolved to use Mrs. Gibson’s madstone, which was en- tirely successful in warding off the an ticipated danger.
