THE COUNCIL TAKES A HAND. Pollce Affairs Thoroughly blucusnad at Last Night's Meoting. A NEW ORDINANCE INTRODUGCED. An Inquiry to be Made Into Chief Seavey's Manner of Conducting Business—A Protracted Seasion. The Uity Counoll. The council took a hand bast night in po- lice matters and waxed warm over several measures that woere introduced, calculated %o correct some of the irregularities that are @aringly apparent in the management of the police department. The first measure came from Mr, Lowry in the form of the following resolution Resolved, That because of the foolish and indiscriminate arrest of innocent and re- spectable people upon the pretext of being Visugpicious charncters,” the good name of ““the city is impaired and wo feel it our duty a8 representatives chosen by the peovle to demand of the board of fire and police the stoppago of such unvalled-for proceedings. Before any uction could be taken upon the resolution Mr. Hascall, by permission, intro- duced an ordinznce which provides for a sweeping change in the manner of making arrests. The ordinance prohibits tho impris- onment of persons arrested without a war- runt until a written complaint is made and filed with the police judge and a warrant is- sued thereon, An exceuvtion is made in case the subject is in a stupor from iu- toxication or other cause. In such case a complaint shall be made against him s soon as he recovers, A violation of the ordi- nance by an officer is made an offense pun- ishable by a fine of not less than $10 uor more than £50, Mr. Wheeler declared that the ordinance was contrary to the state law, which pro- vides that arrests may be made without complaint having been filed, Mr. Hascall repliea that it didn’t require a wise man to know that such state law pro- visions up]!liud to felons, but it did not in- olude misdemeanors, He denounced in strong language the system of wholesale arrests that are being made by leather- headed policemen on trumped up charges. After some discussion the ordinance was read a second time by title and referred, ‘with Mr. Lowry’s resolution, to a committee of the whole council. It was Mr. Ford's turn then, and he offored the following, which was adopted : Resolved, That as reports are now current that there is an undue expenditure of money in the office of the chief of police, the com- mittee on police are hereby instructed to investigate the same and report if a secre- tary for the chief is necessary; if so, how many months the present secretary has been employed; nhow many days per month she has been at the office, and how muny hours she has been at work. Alsoto find how many hours per day have been spent by members of the force 1n assisting the chief of police during the absence of the secketary, the committes tobe empowered to employ an expert, if necessury, to go over the book “I'he report of the board of showing 100 deatns and placed on file.

The Merchants’ wesk committee met last night. The discussions were long, and the details of plans proposed by the various committees were inquired into more closely than hitherto. For the finance committee Mr. Wakefield, reported that the requisite amount, £7,500, had been raised. Mr. Bechel said that the railroads had agreed todo what he asked, and showed quite o disposition to do all in their power to make the Merchants' week a success, On Wednesday the railronds would make a one and one-third fare to all points 500 miles west of the Missouri. Tick- ets would be sold Tuesday, good to veturn Thursday. Chairman Rees, of the advertising com- mittee, appeared with an armful of adver- tising matter.

Another meeting will be held next Tuesday. The L. O. O. F. Entertainment. § Goodrich lodge, L 0. O. I, gave a musical and literary entertainment at their hall, on Saunders street, last night.

A away on & THENEWS ABEUT THE BLUFFS COhautauqua Hfouragement From Across the Water. AN HUNDRED-MILE WOLF-CHASE, P Fond Memory ‘whd an Officer Will Bring Back Efiis to the Bluffs— A Misunderstanding of Moumana Tuum. The Chautanqua Finances. The Council Blnffs aud Omaha chautauqua stockholders met Monday evening in the board of trade rooms to consider the report of the committee to devise a way to pay the indebtedness of the assoclation, The plan of the committes was to issue §50,000 of first mortgage bonds. There being but a small por- tion of the stock of the association represented it was thought best not to atempt to make any definite conclusion i1egarding the man- ner of meeting the liabilities of the associa- tion. Aside from the report of the commit- teo it was expressed by several and seemed to meet the approval of most present that if the parties now holding liens upon the land would not accept bonds for the indebted- ness, thus releasing the land, that to issuo bonds would prove unsuccessful. The at- torney representing those parties felt posi- tive they would not accept such bonds. The pian of selling lots under contracts suiting the case, and applying the money thus procured on the indebtedness, was dis- cussed, but no conclusion was reached. The advisory committee, otherwise the committee on ways and means, is strongly in favor of this plan, and yesterday a survey of the grounds was made and a plat pre- pared for this purpose, and it is regarded by the officers of the assembly as quite probable that this plan will soon be adopted. ‘The money to pay off indebtedness must be raised, and this seems to be t'ie only means at hand which will effectually answer this purpose. The necessity of prompt action in some direction is apparent to everyone, and the responsibility devolving upon all the friends of the Chautauqua is to see that whatever plan is adopted shall be success- fully carried out. It is expected that lots on the Chautauqua grounds will sell readily when put upon the market. e An Exciting Chase. The Council Bluffs Coursing club held its largest and most successful meet since its organization yesterday morning. Every- body was invited and all were offered the same privileges as the regular members of the club, The result was that fully fifty lovers of the chase assembled atbo’clock yesterday morning at Heywood's bridge, three miles east of the city. It was about twenty minutes later when a hound opened on a fresh trail, and in less time than it takes to tell it the whole pack had joined him and the chase commenced. After a lively run of about & quarter of.an hour, a half-grown grey prairie wolf was' overtaken and killed, and the hounds dushed away on the trail of an old one, the mother of the first victim. All of the sportsman were eager for a chase, somevhing more exciting than the first one had proven, but all bad all the chasine they cared for before tho quarry was finally run down and killed. 1t was undoubtedly one of the hardestruns, considering the time 'in the field, that has taken place in this séction in many a day. The wolf was started at twenty minutes after 6 o’clock, and'it‘was ten minutes of 1 o'clock when she was overhauled after afast and exciting chase of nearly eighty miles, During the six bours and a half which the chase lasted, it was @’hard and steaay drive, and the hounds worked in a mauner that could not have been excelled. The greater part of,the chase was within a circle of about four miles in diameter, but when the pack got ‘00 near and began to press 0o hard the wolf started out on an im- mense circuit. Even that proved disastrous, and she finally turned straight away from home and began the final dash. She was overtaken about ten miles from the starting poiut, but was not killed without a fierce battle, in which several of the hounds were badly punished. The leader received a ter- rible gash in the throat, and nearly bled to death before assistance could be rendered. Iv was necessary to bring home several of the dogs in litters, 8o badly used up were they from the exhausting chase and the ter- rificpbattle with which it terminated. The sportsmen were fully satisfled; indeed, they ‘would have been satisfied with mnch less, but were determined to see 1t through to the end, Some of the riders were almost as badly used up as the dogs, but would not acknowledge it. Report of the Librarian, The report of the librarian of the free pub- lic library for the month of July gives the number cf bock takers at 2.624; visitors at the rooms, 1,425; books taken, 1,814, Of these the greatest number was fiction, being 831, History and biography are next, num- bering 158. The number of books received during the month was 168, This is the record of but ten days, the month from the 1st o the 20th being occupied in moving. The new quarters are so much more pleas- ant than the former ones that the number of | visitors is increasing, and more works of ref- erence are in demand. The newspaper files are more generally sought; in fact a general increase of business is noticed in all of the departments. The present quarters are s credit to the city, Jugged for Jerking Jowelry. J. 0. Perkws and C. J. Johnson were taken in tow by the police Monday night on two warrants, charging them with larceny. One was sworn_out by O, O.

The prisoners were charged with stealing about $60 worth of jewelry, the greater part of which belonged to Roth. They were taken before Squire Hendricks yesterday afternoon for a_hearing, but & continuance was granted until Saturday, and pending trial both were sent to the county iail in de- fault of $1,000 bonds. The evidence against Perkins, who now gives his name as Kck- land, is very strong, & large portion of the stolén property being found in his_valise.
