AN ODD FREAK IN ANATOMY. Chautangua To Be Sold To-Day-— Crocker's Hrigade Coming — A Horrible Suicide—Another Gas Company, The Council Cuts the Tax Lovy. The city council last evening, at its special session, adopted a resolution enforeing the collection of special assessment taxes, and instructed the county treasurer to proceed with the collection forthwith by ordering a speciul tax sale of all property upon which specinl taxes are delinquent. The city engincer reported an ordinance establishing the grade on Ridgestreet, which was adopted, The Fairmount avenue grade ‘was also established. The water works company was assessed #8 for relaying pavement taken up for water pipes. A resolution was adopted pledeing Chicago the support and sympathy of Council Bluffs in her effort to secure the world’s fair, A ordinance levying a general sewer tax to create u fund for right of way for sewers through private property, and similar pur- poses, was adopted. ‘I'he council then adjourned and went into executive and secret session for the purpose of fixing the annual tax levy for 1800. Upon reassembling they announced the following: Mills. Goeneral fund Extinguishm est... ¥ Extinguishment paving and bonds ...... . ceniiae 2 Extinguishment of intersection sewer bonds und interest, ... ... . Gradual extinguishment funded debt. Judgment fund. . General ity bridge. Public livrar, Park. . Water tax. General sewer Total. B Vearian. The total levy is 16 mills less than lust year. Under this reduced assessment the new levy gives a sum of about §105,000 for exclu- sive city purposes, outside special, judgment and sinking funds, as against $04,000 last year, with the 49 mill levy. ‘The Chicago & Northwestern railroad company was ordered to keep flagmen at the c-ossings on Avenues A, B ana C, or dis- continug theie switohing and making up trains at that poin ‘T'he common carriers’ ordinance wus taken up and passed, with the rates as previously agreed upon. The tes, as they now stund, allow the carrier ents for carrying passengers to or from any part of the city, depots or other similar points within the city, and 50 cents for bag- gage of 150 pounds weight. and hackmen’s — - —— An Anatomical Mystery. The post-mortem held upon the body of Frank Haven, the man who fell dead from heart disease in the alley in the rear of the Eiseman block on Tuesday, was not con- cluded until after midnight. All day yester- day the remains were visited by crowds of curious people, among them every physician in the city and many from Omaha and out- side towns. Yesterday forenoon the strangely malformed and misplacod internal organs were photographed. Two views were tuken, besides several peu and pencil sketches made by speciul artists employed by physicians. All the doctors who examined the body do not hesitate to declare that in the whole range of anatomical study and in all the human freaks it has reveated, there never has beon an instunce that paralelled this strangely formed individual. The ex- ternal appearance of the body was remarka- bie. The finger and toe nails were not oval, but nearly perfectly round and more than twice the normal size. When the man was in health the disturbed circulation often made him an object of interest on the streets, His complexion would often be a very deep pur- ple or a bright blue, The bones of the sternum were bulged out. The largest pro- tuberance wus on the right side of the mid- 1an line, and about three inches below the shoulder. It was as large as a good-sized bowl, and in the cavity it formed the heart laid. This, like every other internal organ, was reversed from the normal position and turned upside down. The lungs weére not more than two-thirds the natural size, they being almost entirely exhausted from tuber— culur trouble, and were very much dilated and death ‘had resuited from a rupture of the right ventri The stomach was Just reversed and was located on the right side and overiapping the luugs. The liver and spleen were both reversed and on the left. Hoth were abnormally developed. Nature followed the same wrong-end-to tendency when she made the abdominal viscera and these organs were completely reversed. ‘f'he brain was not examined, but it is prob- able the same remarkdble tendency was fol- lowed in the development of that organ. Tne development of all the organs was nearly normal, and all would have dis- charged their proper functions the full al- lotment of years of mankind if they had not. been weakened by disease. It is not av all remarkable that with all of these reversals of nuture’s customs the man should have been decidedly left handed in life. —— S. B. Wadsworth & Co, loan money.

The immeuse crowd that visited Omaha yesterday morniug to sec the parade of the wraveling men taxed the motor line to its utmost capucity. Extra cars were udded to the regular trains, but that would not suffice and additional trains were put on, All were crowded and the isles, platforms and steps would not furnish the requisite standing room, There was not sufficient power to handle ‘all the trains, with their heavy loads, and considerable dificulty was experienced in getung up the grade to the bridge, One train fuiled to get up, blowing out a fuse, after which the current meited the connee- tions and set fire to the wood work of the motor car. It was tfiuicklv extinguished, but the motor was ‘“‘dead,” and quite » “layout” resulted, severul trains being blocked there for nearly half an hour, when everything was again straightened out, after which there was no further trouble, us the rush was about over. It has been pretty clearly demonstrated several times that thirty horsepowe! wotors would be much more effective than the twenty horsepower motors now in use, as the bridge grades and the unusually heavy grade ou Madison street have frequently proven serious obstacles to a heavily loaded trai A few heavier motors would come in very good play. and 1t1s not uunlikely that the company will secure some of the larger muchines in their next order, R Wall paper, room moldings and decora- tious, No. 12 North Main street i Winter & Monroe, sign paiuters, 416 B'way B A New Gas Company Incorporates, A newly organized compauy, the Council Bluffs Gas and Klectric Light company, filed their articles of incorporation at the ofice of the county recorder yesterday.

Wright, of the Council Bluils Gas company, was seen yestorday af- terucon, aud asked if he knew anything re- gwraing the uew company, or its iucorpor- ators. He stated that he did not, but was nclined to think that the Walter 8, Wright, of the new company, was the one connected with the = fuel was com- any, which has a plant in Omaba. rom the name, he inforred that the new company was organized to compoto with the jlluminating companies now doing business in the oity, and would respond to the adver- tisement of the city council for bids for light- ngthe city. Thealdermen are notsurprised to see outside companies coming in, as they are satisfied that there is great encouragement for a company that is willing to furnish light at more reasonable rates than are now charged, —— Always on Time.

The matter must be sot- tled at this session, and cannot be postponed antil_the December term, as the clerks in the county auditor's office are now waitingto get to work on the tax list, which must be completed by January 1,and will require three months to prepare. 1t will hardiv bo possible for the board to complete the busi- ness of the September scssion before the middle of the month. s o Fine jewelry, watches and diamonds; cleaning and repairing at B.
