ALL ABOUT THE BLUFFS. An Basy Drive to Be Made Into Fairmount Park. A VERY BALKY BLAOK’SMITH. The Expense of the Elephantine Fire Truck—A Now Factory —The Courts— . Personal. The Federal Court. Judge Shiras arrived yesterday morning rrom Dubuque, and occupied his blace by the side of Judge Love when court was opened. The damage case of Bernard Berg- man vs the Omaha & St. Louis railway com *pany was placed on trial before Judge Love, and Judge Shiras heard the equity case of the Loan and Trust Savings bank vs Ed- mund Latham 1 one of the small court rooms. The latter case was submitted about 8o'clock. The damage case will ocoupy tho attention of the court for two or three days, The case of Seth M. Smith, administrator, vs the Chicago & Northwestern railway com- pany, was settled and dismissed. Ciaus Pfoffers, of Crawford pleaded guilty of selling whisky without license and was fined $10 and costs. The case against him and others on_bail bond was dis- missed and the costs taxed up to the defend- ants. The grand _jury returncd an indictmeut agairst T. F. Mahan. The defendant is charged with rifling the United States mail, and obtaining money from a registered lot- ter at Davenport. He was taken to Des Moines and given a hearing before United States Commissioner John Jordon and his case transferred here, and ho was ordered confined inthe jail of this county. He was admitted to bail Tues- day evening. He waived arraignment, and will be allowed to plead this morning.

O'‘Now don't say a word to me about the new officials,” said an alderman yesterday as a Ber reporter approached, without giving the latter a chance to open his head. “I have been quizzed until I am weary and sick at heart, and I don’t want you to lisp a word on that subject. I will tell you something, how- ever, but don't you say that an alderman told you. Ijust want to call your attention to the expeuse of running the fire department, seems to me that the city can get along wighout the services of two or three of those firemen at the Broadway fire house. These ave kept there to play rubbers for that big truck. and there is no earthly sense in it. They might just as well be aischarged and the Lruck kept out of active service. Iam not in favor of disposing of the truck, and ‘would never give my consent to it, but I think it foolish to maintain it in the present style at the existing expense. As I have always maintained, it might sometime be needed most ur?'cml_ . and for that reason we ought to keep it, as it might save a human life, but if such an occasion should come, and 1t was at the No. 4 house, there are always enough who will help at such a time to man the apparatus and handle it. I know that the fire department is ®osting too much moncy, and I think retrenchment in_the way I have sug- gested is advisable. I know some of you fellows want to get rid of the truck, but I am not with you in that. The whole thing will come up in council before very long, and then we shall see what we shall see.” Burhorn’s. ot e Py Potatoes Given Away.

For some time affairs have not rolled along smoothly in the family of Merritt Hendry. the Upper Broadway biacksmith. A separa- tion resulted some time ago, and since then there has been more or less trouble. Yes- terday morning the woman visited his shop and another row ensued, which resulted in Hendry putting her out into the street. She found Patrol Driver Hendricks and asked him toarrest her husband, Hendricks, who is the giant of the police force, readily acqui- esced. Hendry demurred, and the ‘‘peeler’” smiled as he thought what a picnic he would have in landing the “little 'un” in jail. Al- though considerably below medium’ stature, Hendry is not the easiest man in the world to handle, and the oficer was not long in finding it out. It was like a battle between & Shanghai and a game bantam. There was ounly one fly. Hendricks grabbed his in- tended prisoner by the throat and jammed him agaiust the wall, but the next thing he knew he went flying acrossthe shop and sprawled in a heap in the corner. Whatever his other faults may be, Hendricks is no hog ~—he knows when he has had enough, As he tenderly wiped the crimson drops from his deeply scarred countenance, he decided that it would be well to arbitrate. Hendry said that he would not walk down street with the officer, but offered to walk behind him. The offer was accepted, and they started for the station. Judge Aylesworth listened to a re- cital of the circumstances, and released the defendant on his own recognizonce to appear to-morrow for tri e Money loaned on fnrniture, pianes, diamonds, horses, buggies or anything of value, at low rates of interest.

The April term of the district court con- venes next Tuesday, with Judge Deemer on the bench. It will be a rather lengthy term, probably occupying about three months, slthough there is nothing to necessitate its closing before August. The criminal busi- ness of the term will be principally composed of gambling and saloon cases, as thern aro fow prisoners now confined in the county juil whose cases are to go before the grand jury. It is expected that the weather will THE OMAHA DAILY BEE;! THURSDAY, MARCH get very warm for some of the saloon men aboue t‘e middle of May, when the contempt cases are called for trial. Judge Thornell will open conrt this morn- ing for two davs, during which time he will olose up the business of the January term and give his decisions in several cases now under advisement. - E. H.

Many of those who would otherwise have visited Fairmount park quite frequently ‘| have been deterred from so doing by the very steep grade that had to be climbed be- fore the purk was reached. To these the announcement will Yo doubly welcome that change is to be made by which the ap- proach to the park will become very easy The new drive will be up Park avenue as heretofore us far as the reservoir of the wa- terworks company. Here the drive will turn to the right, crossing the embankment at the north side of the reservoir, and thence around to the north, making a complete circle before heading again toward the park, which 18 then reached by way of a thirty foot street, which has belonged to the city for some time but has ngver been used. By this route the grade becomes very gradual, and one of the greatest difficulties to be surmounted in reaching the park will b removed. h the characteristic liberality of . Dodge, th thirty-foot street above mentioned will become a sixty-foot strect. During the recent visit of the gon cral to this city he was called upon by Mayor Rohrer, who explained the situation and stated that the city ought to own an- other thirty-foot strip along there to make the street the nccessary width, The gen- eral owns the abutting property, and he promptly offered to give a quit claim deed for the desived strip. In this connection it may be out of place to state that Genoral Dodgo gave the city n good sized strip of land sonie time ago for Fairmount park. It is that portion where the drive first strikes the edge of the high west bluff, where a splendid view of the twin cities may be ob- tained, It is a matter of congratulation that @ way of approach to the park has at last been found that will meet with publiz favor. The driveway across the reservoir bauk wi be fenced on both sides and a sheet iron screen erocted to keep dust, dogs, ete., from getving into the water. The street will bapaved and put in first class condition. Work on the new drive will be commenced in a short time, and com- pleted as soon as possible. g The finest line of spring goods to be found in the market is at A.

MiNNEAPOLIS, March 27.—Needham and Gilmore fought eight miles from the city at 5 o'clock this morning. Gilmore was knocked out in the twentieth round. Skin gloves were used. The fight ywas for a purse of $100. The match took place iu a barn in Anoka county, about eight miles up the Mis- sissippi_river. At 8:03 a. m. the men had stripped and were ready for business, I'rom the start it was plain that, while Gilmore was easily the more scientific man, he lacked in the "hard hitting quahties that finally gave Needham the fight. In the twenticth round Gilmore recewved a terrific thump in the neck and went down like a log. Heo was plucky aad managed to again face the vie- tor, but he went down again from a vicious left-hander in the throat, this tine not to rise until it was too late and Necdham had won the battle. It was a good fight and hard fought. The spectators generously raised a purse of $40 for Gilmore, There were about two hundred sports present the fight was conducted in a very orderly mauner, Neither man assayed “ring”’ tricks and each faced the music manfully. P Big Fire at Pittsburz, PirTsnure, March 27.—The extensive ma- chine shops and foundry of Mclntosh & Hemphill, on the river front, were totally burned early this morning. The fire started in the ingot shop ana 29pn spread to the pat- tern shops, brass toundry, boiisr and engine houses, which were entirely consumed. The pattern warehouse, containing scveral hun- dred thousand doliars worth of patterns,was saved. The total loss will not fall short of $100.000, which is fully covered by insur- ance. The fire is believed to be the work of incendiaries, and four men have been ar- rested on suspicion. A firoman was struck by & piece of timber and seriously hurt, ———— A Wolf in Shecp's Clothing.

MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT IT WAS T CONSERYV, No Doubt That She Sank With All on Board. New York, March 27.--There is little doubt now that the ‘Conserva was the il fated ship which strewed the Virginia const inst week with the wreckage of her timbers, Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, the Conserva was unseaworthy. It is sajid by an oiler, who was engaged for the trip, but who declined to go after finling out the con- dition of the vessal, that her boller leaked, as did also her bull, The Conserva had twenty- seven souls on board.
