Perhaps he can have it—in the sweet bye und bye, but for the present, the cty is well satisfied to retain possession of it. The proposition of the council to advertise for bids for lighting the city is already at- tracting attention fromabroad. A letter has been received from the Edison company, of Chicago, and from other companies, asking about the situation, and it 1s certain that there will be a large number of bidders in the tield. As was anticipated, the Nonpareil yester- day morning admitted that it had ‘‘got its foot in it,” in relation to that high license editorial, and said _that it dian’t mean to do it. A Nebraska editor doing the heavy work on an Iowa paper during the absence of the proprietors is the explanation offered to uc- count for the “'slip.” The contract for the new Jeffries block on Bouth Main street, opposite the Merriam lock, has been let to G.

Maxon is the architect. Thomus Conway and wife were tried be- fore Justice Hendricks for disturbing the peace and u.mg profane and threatening language toward one Allen and his wife. It is unother unne!ghborly quarrel, and daring tne trial a great deal of bad blood showed itself on both sides. The case appeared to be about six to one and a half dozen to the other. It was taken under advisement until Monday. Johnny Hardy, a tough thirteen years old from Avoca, is in the county jail, awarting the action of the district court. He is charged with incorrigibility, and an effort ‘will be made to have him sent to the reform school. He is about as depraved a specimen of nis years as it would be possible to find, and all acquainted with the case are of the opinion that the reform school is the only place for him, A strip of paving has been removed from the terminus of the electric motor line on East Broadway south onMadison to Pierce stroet, preparatory to putting dewn the re- maining ties ana iron for the Fairmount park extension. The curves and switches have at last arrived, and Superintendent Keynolds Proposes to run trains into Fairmount park two weeks from to-day, The line will be ‘well patronized. 0 Maud Steele, & woman of the town, was ar- rlwd last night for street walking and lodged in jail. She was allowed to remain in the corridor, and while the jailor's back was turned managed to make her escape into the pound. Being pursued, she attempted to scalo the high board fence, but fell, break- ing her leg, The city fihyliclun was called and the obstreperous Maud taken back to Jail and placed in a cell: A select party of pleasure seckers from Omgha spent & most enjoyable evening at anawa lake Friday evening. Manawa otel had been engaged and arrangements made for a dance, the music for which was furnished by Dalbey's orchestra. At i1 o'clock & fine banquet was served. The party arrived early and enjoyed the pleasure ©f a ride on the luke. At alater hour they returned to Omaba on & special train, After beng twice poll:’)onad, the Gypsy encampment was held on Judage James' lawn last, evanln%, and called out quite a good at- tendance, It was not afuir trial and the en- tertainment did ot receive the patronage it merited, owing to the many disadvantages which it encountered. The lawn was hand- somely illuminated with Chinese lanterns, and every effort made to entertain the guests. The affair netted the Social Union about $25. A meeting of the stockholders of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Chautauqua as- sembly will be held at the board of trude rooms to-morrow evening to take definite action regarding the bonding of the associa- tion to raise money to pay off the debts of the assembly. It is a matter of vital import- ance and every stockholder should be pres- ent. The financial condition of the assembly 18 very critical, and decisive action must be en at once. The Dodge Light Guards' new uniforms arrived yesterday. They are regular army, full dress suits, of dark blue, trimmed with white. Helmets are also secured. The quality of cloth and manner of make are su- jor to the old uniforms, and when arrayed the new clothes the guards will present as attractive an appearance as any company in the une.

S S ETIS Stopped a Contractor's Work. Yesterday mornming Contractor Bosen and seven of his carpenters employed on the new Evans block on South Main were arrested, charged with violating the city ordinance relative to erecting frame buildings within the fire limits. The building permit, No. 319, was issued July 19, and calls for a $3,000 building of galvanized iron and slate roof. The construction of the building has caused considerable comment, from th that it i8 located on a lot, a pirt of which is claimed by the city for a waterway. The south wall of the building was started with studding, after the manner of an ordinary frame structure, with no fire wall between it and the adjoining building. The attention of the chief of the fire department was callod to i, and he filed the information that led to the arrest above referred to. Contractor Bosen promised the court that no further work should be done until the matter was settled, and the defendants were accordingly re- leased. The case wiil be tried Monday. The owner of the property, T. J. Evans, is out of the city. The contractor states that the building will be of corrugated iron and brick and in compliance with the ordinance. The chief of the fire department says that the building was being built in violation of the ordinance, but he took no action in the mat- ter because the contractor told him that there would be a brick fire wall erected on the south side.
