The other engine was started up, and the lights were soon running as usual. The boys of No. 3 hose house have just completed some extensive changes and im- proments in the interior of their building, and it now presents as fine_an appearance as any similar establishment in this section. Squire Hendricks yesterday heard the ar- uments in the larcen agamst Frank deterson and bound over the prisoner in the of £100. 'The uncle of the defendant fur- nished the required amount and ke was re- leased from custody. Mr. Carpenter reports at this office that for the past three nights ice has formed ut his residence on Harrison street. How much damage this has been to fruit can not be told, but the fruit growers are rather du- bious on this account. T. S. Davis has a fine trophy of the Wash- ington memorial day. On that day he shot one of the great American eagles on his farm in Quick. ‘I'he noble bird measured seven feet four inches from tip to tip, It has been placed in the hands of Frank Breeze for tax- idermical nishing.

Judd has just sccured building permits for the erection of new cottages in the western part of the city aggregating $25 000. He states that if the proposed new clec tric motor line is built he will erect 800 new buildings in Council Bluffs during the pres- ent year. The new line is in very great de- mand and the projectors are meeting with the greatest encouragement. nning to put the Slephant” in training for the tour- nament. They took the mammoth plaything out for a little exercise yesterday morning, and raised it av tne City Mill A line of hose was taken to the top, and a stream of water directed down upon the roof of the building from a height of eighty-five feet. A run down Eighth street wound up the morn- ing’s entertainment. A coating of gumbo has been given the artificial lake bed in Fairmount park, and it now holds water to perfection. It is filled to the top of the bank, and is a very attractive spot to visitors, Several new walks have also been laid out through the grounds, and one of them leads from the top of the highest ridge to the artificial lake in the lower glen. The walk is wide enough for three persons to pass abreast, and 1s of easy descent. The park will be much more beautiful and attrac- tive this year than ever before. When Judge Aylesworth visited police headquarters, yesterday morning, to hold the daily session of court, he found the door locked, and no jailer in the vicinity. Detect- ive O'Connell, of the Milwaukee, was also on hand to prosecute the case against the three tramps arrested by him the preceding night, for breaking open a sealed car in the Mil- waukee yards, but it was a clear case of {reeze-out, and after waiting for a half hour for the jailer who never came, an adjourn- ment was taken sine die. An attempt on the part of the jailer to attend to business in two places at the same time, was the cause of the difticulty. - Council Bluffs Lodge No. 270 (Loyal) A. 0. U. W., meets in G. A.

One of the Incorporators Enthusi- astically Outlines the Enterprise. STILL BOTHERED BY BURGLARS A Plucky Young Lady Geta the Drop on a Pair—A Better Boat House Wanted—The New Park Entrance. Another Motor Line. JMIf our eity council don’t think more of a two-cent hose racing team or a big, dress parade hook and ladder truck than they do of the growth and welfare of our city, we will have apother electric motor line in Council Bluffs before many months have passed,” said one of the projectors of the proposed new road yesterday to Tue BEE. “Wedon't ask any £30,000 bonus, or tw years which to begin work, and we don’t want to dig mill trenches along any of the streots 80 as to make them impassable ex- cept for our cars; yet the other company did this, and no howl was raised against if 1 am_not kicking against that company, or their line, for [ thiuk it 18 a grand, good thing, and has done an incalculable amount of good for the city, but I think that the council snould grant another company a right of way, when that is all it asks, to build another line through a part of the city, at esent devoid of street car facilitics. They ed to pass our other ordinance, and the one asks for the following streets: From the east end of the Union Pacitic bridge along the approach to Ninth avenue; east on Ninth avenue to Third street; south on Third strect to Eighteenth aveaue; cast on KEighteenth avenue to Tostevin street; south on Tostevin to South avenue; south- east on South aveaue to the city limits, We want to branch from Nintn avenue at Union avenue, up Union avenue to the dummy depot, thence up Ninth street to the junction with Iighth street, thence on north to_the city limits at Mynster Springs. We want to branch from Ninth street at Avenue B, thence east to Eighth strect, north half a block to Washington avenue, east on Wash- ington avenue to Frank street. We also want to branch from the Ninth avenue line at Fourth street, up Fourth treet to Broadway at the Masonic templo, t on Broadway to Bryant street, north on Bryant to meet the other branch at Wash- ington avenu That gives us a look, taking m some of the most thickly settled residence portions of the city. We wanta chance to geu to Manawa, 8o we ask for a right of way from Nintb avenue down South Sixth stree to Twenty-fiftn avenue, cast on Twent, fifth avenue to ' KFourth street, thence south to the city limits. We would go straight down Sovth Sixth street to the city limits, but there is a forty- acre track of acreage property, and we could not get the right of way across that unle: the owners would grant it to us. These are the streets we ask for, and the ordinance has passed to its third reading. We agree to make a 5-cent rate between Council Bluffs and Omaha from 6 to 7 o'clock, morning and evening, except Sunday, and a 2-cent rate across the Union Pacitic bridge for passen- gers.” **What about the report that the Union Pa- cific will pot lease the wagon part of its bridge to your company ¢ *If we don’t get it, no other company will, and we have the assurance that we can have it. The Union Pacific company will not tatk 10 us now, but says that us soon as we can get a charter over here, they will negotiate with us. There will be no trouble about get- ting over the bridge. For b cents we will wke passengers to any part of Omaha reached by the cable or horse car lines, and we agree to begin work within sixty days from the time our contract is made with the Union Pacific folks. It is an enterprise that will be worth thousands of dollars to Council Bluffs, and over five hundred new dwellings are already promised in case it is built. All we want is just the right of way, and there is plenty of money behiud it to see it through.” Attend the opening of Hotel de Manawa, next Tuesday. Fine enter- tainment, ball and banquot. e L e A Drop On the Burglars. The residence of W. W. Chapman, No. 717 First avenue, was entered by burglars Thursday evening, about half-past 8 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman were up town at the time, aud there is no one in the house except Miss S. D. Rehse. 'The burglars eftected an entrance through a rear door, and began to thoroughly ransack the house. ~ Miss Rehae heard them in the dining room, and, secur- ing a revolver, went to the dining room door and leveled the weapon at the head of the only prowler in sight. Just at that moment Mr. and Mrs, C man arrived home, and went to the side door. Miss Rehse stepped across the room to unlock the door for them, and the depre- dator skipped into the kit Mr. Chap- mun was informed thav there was a burglar in the kitchen, and the revolver -vas thrust into his hand,” He hurried to the kitchen door just in time to see two men making a haswy exit., It was found that everything in tworooms had been turned upside down, and thoroughly searched. Nothing of value was missed, but this wus doubtless owing to the timely nterruption. —_—— Opening of Hotel de Manawa.

The Council Bluffs Boat club wiil give a grand ball at Masonic Temple next Friday evening, the proceeds of which will be de- voted to improving their club house a Matawa, They propose to build an addition 20x24 feet n size, having three balconies and extending out over the water. A slide will also be added, similar to that of the Omaha club’s boat house. Tne second floor will contuin a room 20x80 feet, which will be used for entertainments, and the third balcon, will be an observatory, from which a splen did view muy be attained, being the highest point about the lake, with the exception of the hotel cupola, ‘The expense of the proposed addition will be about £:00, and will convert the club- house into one of the finest in the west. The club has never made any demands upon the public to make improvements, and think that they reasonably ask their friends to liberally patronize the ball. ~ Fine music will be in_at- tendance, and an excellent programme of dances will be arranged. No pains will be spared to make it one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season, iy For Rent, A fine dairy farm of 138 acres, half a mile from the city limits; a part of it can be cultivated if desived; good house and barn; water supplied by a wind- mill, HORACE EVERETT, e Cutting Into the Park. The upper part of Graham avenue very much resembles @ railroad graders’ camp, The force that is to excavate the cut be- tween that street and Faivmount park is on the ground and ready to commence opera- tion this morning. The work of the survey- ors was completed yesterday, the grade. Delng delayed one. day, Tha'cut is 10" b completed in twenty-one days, and & forfeit of §600 has been posted in case the require- ments of the contract are not complied with. The electric motor company is ready to ex- tend its line into the park as soon as the way is oven for it to do so. e Notice! removed my barber shop from North Main sireet to No. 8 Pearl street, where I am better prepared than ever before 1o give satisfaction to my customers, Fritz BERNHARDI, Mr. Horago Everett returned yesterday from ighland farw, where he has been for the past Lwo weoks, attending to annual re- pairs and planting 8 large unumber of fruit trees. After @ vain struggle with the drought, Mr, Everett was cowpelled to aban- don his tree planting for the present, ana weat for rain, He has over four thousand imported trees now “*heeled'"jin his celiar, and they can not be planted until the ground is in fit condition to receive them. Said he yes- terday, in speaking of the matter; ‘“‘In an expericnce of thirty-five years in western Towa, I have never seen the ground so dry, or the grass and small grain in 80 poor a con dition, In the last four months not over one inch of water has fallen in _the western por- tion of Pottawattamie county, and if it were pot for the remarkavle qualities of our soil, a ruinous and fatal drought would have been the result. Prof. Budd, of the Ames Agri- cultural college, sent me 200 fruit trees of the different varieties introduced by him from Russia, and I have been compelled to plant them in my nursery, where they can be properly waterea and ‘attended to. The farmers are complaining bitterly on account of this state of affairs, and the crops of 1850 will not be very large unless there is a change before very long.” —— I.

The department responded quickly, and the long run of over two miles was made in a little less than seven minutes. The flames were under control when the fire fighters ached the spot, and no hose was laid. The se of the blaze spontancous combus- tiop in the rubbing room on the second floor, and but for the presence of Mr. Keyes and the watchman, the entire building would have been in flames before the arrival of the department. ‘I'he recent extension of the water mains was all that saved the building, as water was there in abundance, and under full pressure. ‘This case is only another strong argument in favor of the immediate location of anothel hose house in the western part of the city. At the distance at_which the fire houses are now located from that part of the city, it is almost impossible to render eMcient service or good protection. A five is almost beyond control or the building burned to the before the department reaches i damage last night was merely nominal. —_—— Single tickets to Rag In Court.

Their Congratulations on His First Election and His Reply. San Francisco Monitor: Shortly after Washington’s accession to the pre: dency, the corporate bodies, civil socie- ties and other organizations of a similar character presented the first American president with addresses of congratula- tions expressive of their admiration for his characteras a citizen, a soldier anda statesman. Animated with the same spirit of de- votion to the new republic, the Catho- lic clergy and laity of that period pre- sented Washington with the following document; ADDRESS TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, Sir: We have been long impatient to testify our joy and unbounded confi- dence on your being calied, by a unani- mous vote, to the first station of a coun- try in which that unanimity could have béen obtained without the previous merit of unexampled services, of emi- nent wisdom, and unblemished virtue. Our congratulations have not reached you sooner, because our scattered situa- tion prevented the communication and the colleeting of those sentiments which warmed every breast. But the lay has furnished us with the opportunity, not merely of presaging the Luppiueus to be expected under your administra- tion, but of bearing testimony to that which we experience. It is your pecu- linr talent, in war and in peace, to af- ford security to those who commit their protection into your hands. In waryou shield them from the ravages of armed hostility; in peace you establish public tranquility by the justice and modera- tion, not Jess than by the vigor, of your government. By example, as well as by vigilance, you extend the influence of laws on the manners of our fellow citizens, You ~ en- courage respect for religion, and inculeate, by words and nctions, that principle on which the welfure of nations so much depends—that asuper- intending providence governs the events of the world and watches over the conduct of men. Your exalted maxims and unwearied attention to the moral and physical improvement of our country have produced already the hap- piest effects. Under your administra- tion, America is unimated with zeal for the attainment and encouragement of useful literature; she improves agricul- ture, extends her commerce, and ac- quires with foreign nations a dignity unkunown to her before, From these happy events, in which none can feel a warmer interest than ourselves, we de= rive additional pleasure, by recollect- iuf that you, sir, have been the princi- pal instrument to effect so rapid & change in our politis situation. This prospect of natipnal prosperity is pe- culiarly pleasing to us on another ac- count: because, whilst our country pre- serves her freedom and independence, we shall have a well founded title to claim from her justice the equal rights of citizenship, as the price of our blood spilt under your cyos, and of our com- mon exertions for her de- fenso, under your auspicions conduct — rights endered more dear to us by the remembrance of former hardships. When we pray for the preservation of them where they have been granted, and expect the full extension of them from the justice of those states which still restrict them, when we solicit the protection of heayen over our common country, we neither admit, nor can omit, recom- mending your preservation to the sin- gular care of Divine Providence, be- cause we conceive that no human means are so available to promote the welface of the United States ns the prolonga- tion of your health and life,in which are included the energy of your exam- ple, the wisdom of your counsels, and the persuasive eloquence of your virtues, In behalf of the Roman Catholic clergy. t J. CARROLL. In behalf of the Roman holic laity. CHARLES CARROLL, of Carro'lton, DANIEL CARROLL, THOMAS FITZSIMMONS, DoMINICK LyNcir, WASHINGTON'S REPLY. GENTLE While I now receive with much stion your congratu- lations on m; wled by a unani- mous vote to the first station of my country, I cannot but duly notice your politencss in offering an apology for the unavoidable delay. — As that delay has given you an opportunity of realizing, instead of anticipating. the benelits of the general government, you will do me the justice to believe at yaur testi- mony of the inerease of the public pros- srity enhances the pleasuro which I would otherwise have experienced from ur affectionate addr I feel that my conduet, in war and in peace, has met with more gencral ap- probation than could reasonably have been expected; and I find myself dis- posed to consider vhat fortunate ¢ cumstance in a great degree resulting from the able support and extraordinary candor of my fellow-citizens of all de- nominations. The prospeet of national prosperity now before us is truly animating, and ought to excite the exertions of all good men to establish and secure the happi- ness of the in the permanent ence. America, under the smiies of o divine providence, the protection of a good government, and the cultivation of manners, morals and piety, cannot fail of attaining an uncommon degree of eminence in literature, commerce, agriculture, improvements at home and rospectability abroad. mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community ave equall entitled tothe protection of civil gover ment. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations in examples of justice and liberality: and I presume your fellow citizens will not forget the patriotic part wygich you tos in the accomplishmeut ~of their revolution and the establishment of their government, or the importan sistance which they received from tion in which the Roman Catholic fa is professed. I thank you, gentlemen, for your kind coneern for me. ‘While my life and my health shall continue. in whatever sit- uation I may be. it shall v constant endeavor to justify the favorable senti- ments which you are pleased to express of my conduct; and may the members of your society in Amer animated alone by the pure spirit of christianity, and still v,mu&m‘liu;z themselves as the faithful subjects of our free government, enjoy every temporal and spiritual WASHINGTON, th THE HOME. » Rev.

There were five as- senting individuals present at the time the proposition to form such a peculiar band was broached, and the member- ship never increased. The members agreed, half jokingly and half enrnest- ly,that some one of them shouid commit suicide on each succeeding yenr until all were gone. ‘rhe members further agreed that the club shoula hold meet- ings annually, and at these mecti v should decide by ballot, in inclinntion or otherwise, which mem- ber was next to shuflle off the mortal § ends of these evidently insane men say that at_the time the Suicide club was organized the members were not intoxicated and none of them had s signs of being unbalanced. {nown that the club held several ugs since it was organized, but vs rolused to di- It is Henry Jansen, the president of the Suicide club, who kept a saloon on Gold treet, was the first member to make y with himself.
