Sunday afternoon the motor compavy put ® gang of men at work on 13ast Pierce street to lay their track in front of the property of 8 fow parties who objected to the motor go- ng up that street. There are but a few of the property owners on that street who ob- Ject to having the motor on that street, but these few entered a most vigorous protest and threatened to sue out an injunction whenever the company attempted to put down its tracks, The Sunday work was done for the purpose of avoiding injunctions, as injunctions do not sprout or flourish on the Saboath, The track was laid for a distance of a half block, which carried it past the troublesowe territory. Yesterday a small forco was at work completing the switch where the line leaves South Kirst street. ‘Worlk on the rest of the line will be delayed until material arrives, but as it is now straight sailing the line will not require long to complete when the material does arrive. Avother delay, and perhaps the vrincipal one, will be caused by sewer work on both Pierce streot and Broadway, as the work is ordered, and the line will not be built until after this is completed, as 1t would require domng it twice. Superintendent Reynolds states that work on the Fifth avenue line will be pushed as 800N as material arrives from Johnstown, On this line a common **I'" rail will be laid below Tenth street, but the girder rail, used on the other hnes, will be laid between Pearl and Tenth streets.

IN AND ABOUT THE BLUFES. The New Gas Company Gobbles Up Al Its Compotitors. INJUNCTIONS EVADED. The Electric Motor Goes Down Main Strect—Arguing the Brooks' Mur- der Onse—The School Board Ac- cepts Prouty’s Resignation, SUNDAY The Sperry Solls its Franchise. ho recentiy organized Council Bluffs Mon- opoly association, otherwise the Council Bluffs Gas and Electric Light company, now has the entire field Lo itself. Hon. George I\, Wright received a letter yesterday morn- ing from Mr. Charles Gregory, representative of the Sperry Ilectric Light company, of Chicago, stating that the latter company had accepted the proposition of the former to take the contract for lighting the city off their hands, The letter also contained the transfer of the Sperry frauchise and con- tract to the Council Bluffs Gas and Electric Light company. This gives the compuny tull swing in the local ras and electric light fleld, as thoy have obtained possession of the plants and charters of all the old companies. Mr., Wright was seen yesterday regarding the matter, una talked very freely. Have you heard from the ery folks yet'” was tho first question propounded to him. ““Yos, [ received a letter this morning, and the Sperry folks have made arrangements with the new company to light the city for them.” “Does that mean that they have sold their franchise to the new company and retired from the field ¢ “Thut is the present situation, exactly, The new company now owns the Officer el tric light plant, the present gas plant, and holds the contract to do the city lighting for the next five years.” Will the company continue to furnish gas under the charter of the compa which ex- pires next February, or will it begin to oper- ate at onco under the new charter.” “*We will continuc as we are for the pres- ent. It will take some time to put mn a water gas plant, although the material for it is all ordered, When completed, we will run both plauts, d mix the coal and water ¢ which malkes the best gas thera is made, It 1sn't 5o thin as tho water gas alone, It will take quite a little while to put up the large brick build- ing necessary for the new plant, but there is one thing in_our favor—we will not have to build another Lolder, for that large ono that was put up last year will answer for some time. It takes longer to complete oue of these plants thau most folks suppose. They had that experience in Omaha, where they expected to have everything ready in De- cember, bat 1t was May before the whole thing was completed. AS soon as we gat the new plant running, I suppose we will put the price down to & a thousand.” “You know the contract with the new company provides that the price shall be $1.75 per thousand, as soon as the consump- tion reaches 75,000 feet.” “Is there any prospect of it ever reaching that figure as long as this company holds the franchiset” “Well, not while wear these suits Our present consumption is only about 80,000 feet, and in December, the heaviest month, it never runs more than 35,000 feet. So you see, it would have to more than double to reach the required amount, Ono thing thatcut into our consumption was the introduction of incandescent lights. That took quite a number of our customers, but we have gotten back a great many of them, A number of others wanted to come back, and tried to get us to break their contract with Officer, bug we wouldn't do it. We told them tuat the electric light was good enough for them, and to go ahead with it. It wasn’t what they expectad it to be, and it costs al- together 100 much to suit them, The Ogden housé tried it for a month, and then returned , for it cost about twice as much as 2 The new company will put in_the Sperry light, which is really the Edison light, and then there will be less complaint, although we do not mntend to put in elecirie lights for what you might call domestic use. We desire to have gas used entively in resi- dences, for it is more satisfactory in every way than electric light. When the new plant is in we will tey to introduce gas stoves, and turnish gas for that pyrpose at such rates as will make competition with wood possible. This can easiy be donc. In the littic town of i Mich., with about 15,000 mnabitants, there are about 700 Rus stoves, and you must remember that U 18 in a wood country, where wood is o gr deal cheaper than it is here. We ought to find number o this city who would use gas stoves, as & man who illuminates with it would be very apt to use 1t for fuel if furnished at u reasona Both the gas and electric Light plants will be run as heretofore, for o while at least, until ar- rangements can be completed for the pro- posed changes, The city hghting will also coutinue as at present until the old contract expires, which will be on December 14th.”” “\What is your opinion, Mr. Wright, of tho present system of city lighting?” I think it is abominable, We have the most poorly lighted city on the continent, but we do our share towards illuminating th e heavens, The light altogether too high, and the strects are loft in almost abso- lute darkness. Thore 13 comparatively littie driving in this city in the cvening and it is becau strects ure so durk that it dangerous, yall of our st paved with blocks, and a horse makes ve littlo noise, s that there is great danger of a collision un! one drives very slowly and exercises the utmost vigilance This would not be the case if we had low lights, suspended at the alternato street in- tersections, where they ought to be, and evening pleasure driving would increase very rapidly. It would not take such a groat number of lights to illuminate the city in this manner. At any rate, one in every mile would light the city botter than it is at pres- eit. These tower lights do not amount to much for lighting this citye and I want to see a change made that will give us as well lighted streets as other cities have. We never will have them as long as we depend on theso towers to do it.” ey C. B, P. Co,, Stephen & Harmer, 32 Pearl. Ll Swanson Music Co., 335 Broadway. E.

The change took place at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, when the first electric motor went over the line. Several newspaper men accepted the invita- tion of Superintendent Reynolds to take the initial trip over the line. In the party were also Messrs, Wright and Evans, of the motor company, Electrician Loveu, Messrs, E. L, Shugart, Lucius Wells, J. A. Churchill, Leonard Everett, Dr, K. J, Woodbury and soveral other prominent citizens, ~Aside from its being the first run over tho line, the trip was made without special incident, as everything worked very smootbly, remark- ably 60, in fact, considering that it was & new line both as to track and wiring., The track was rather dirty, which preverted the motor from getting the full effect of the cur- rent, but a fow trips over the line will re- move that. The round trip, from Broadway to the Milwaukee dopot, was made in @ little less than nineteen minutes. No schedule time card will be gotten out for a while, but a ten minute service will be put on, the cars running to the Methodist church on Broadway, ‘T'wo cars will pe run, this being sufticient to give a ten winute service. Bingle cars will be run, there being no ne- cessity for a longer train on this line, Trans- fer checks will be furnished which will be honored on the park or main lines, When the Pierce stroet loop is completed the Main street cars will run over it, but for the present the cars of this line will run only from the Broadway M.

Tho Brooks murder case will probably be submitted to the jury this evening, as the ovidehce is all in, and the arguments have been partially submitted. The defenso be- @an introducing testimony yesterday morn- ing, and the defendant was put on the stand. IHis testimony was, in sabstance, as follow DeGoode and Guanella were quarreling, and finally blows were struck. Hatcher, the bartender, ran between the two, and DeGoode struck Guanella several times over s shoulaer, and Guanella finally asked: ‘Are you going to see me done up!” At th he Fan up to them, put his handkerchief i his overcoat pocket and felt the revolver; drew it out and struck at DeGoode, hitting him on the shoulder, and the weapon was discharged, and it fell out of his hand at the same time. Did not know the weapon was loaded, and did not intend to shoot DeGoode. Had never seen DeGGoode before, nor had any dealings with him. Juast before the quarrel Guanella and DeGoode had been shaging dice. Did not take part with them, Hud only been in the saloon five minutes, On cross-examination he said he had the revolver with him that day. Got itthenizht before from Ida Melville; was living with his parents; hud been a bartender, when he worked, the year prior to the shooting; had no other occupation: had had glove contests and sparring matches for money; did not intend to shoot DeGoode; struck at De- (oode’s head to hit him, but struck him on the shoulder. The cross-examination was very searching and occupied over an hour. Brooks was the only witn for the defense, which then rested its case. The first witness called in rebuttal was Richard Baker. He said that shortly before the shooting he passed up Broadway and that Brooks drew a rewiver on him, On cross-examination he said he and Brooks often “‘poked fun” at each other, but that Brooks never poked a gun at him before, and hoe drew the line on that kind of funny busine Lars Jensen was recalled. He said he saw Baker ou the street before the shooting and saw Brooks have a revolver in his hand, and tell Baker to go on or he would shoot him. This conclucad the testimony, and court adjourned for dinner. In the afternoon Prosecuting Attornoy Organ opened for the state. The entire afternoon was tuken up with the arguments of Mr, Organ and Colonel Dailey, and the latter gentleman will not conclude beforo noon to-day. Mr. Orzan has the closing,and it is thought that his closing argument and the charge by the court can be finished this afternoon.

Board of Education, The school board held a special meeting last evening with a fuil board present, Tie report of the committes on letting coal contracts was received, and the contract let to the Carbon Coal company at the figures quoted in their bid, and the president was instructed to procura a bond of the company in the sum of $1,000 and sign a contract with them for furnishing the coal, The committeo on teachers submitted the following report regarding the resignation of Captam H. M. Prouty, as sccond assistant principal of the high school: On September your committee re- quested second Assistant Principal H. M. Prouty, by letter, to hand in his resignation her in the high school. The motives which prompted the action of the committee originated from a pure sense of duty only, which the directors of the district owe to the people and taxpayers, as custodians of the schools, sceking only their constant pro- motion, good and high educational standiug and general welfare. Insubordination, in- competency, neglect of duty, as well as disre- spectful conduct toward his superio constituted a serics of charges which, ne essitated the step taken by us. In compli- ance with the request made on him, Mr, H. M.

Prof. C. C. BEKE, of this city, says the Topeka Capital, has compioted his ‘“Annunl of Weather Predictions for 1800.” He state§ that next year there will bo great extremes of temperature, excessive rains with floods, and also pretty extensivé drouths His aim has been to point out the times and places where these will occur, and to give ad- vice to farmers, so that they may time their work in such o way as to avoid both the rocks of Seylla and the whirl- pool of Charybdis, and thereby raiso much better crops than they otherwise could, If every farmer in Kansas would send for a copy of this book it would ndd many million bushels to the crop of 1890. Undoubtedly Kansas has produced much more wheat, oats, corn and potatoes this year on account of Prof. Blake’s predictions last year. than she would have done without his predictions. Tt I be remembered that a year ago hefpublished articles in this paper urging favmers to seed with winter wheat as oxtensively as possible, saying that the winter of 1888-0 would be mild and the crop large, Many fol- lowed his sdvice and reaped a rich har- vest. Also, he said that this year would be a wet one in Kansas, part of Nebrasica, and in the southern states; but that it would be dry 1n many of tho northern states. This prediction has been verified by the wet season here and in the southj and by the drought in Dakota, Montana, Michigan, Ohio, and part of the season in many other north- ern states. Prof. Bluke’s work is very important in connection with this deep water movement. When good harbors are provided upon the Guif of Me and our trade is intimato and extens with all parts of South America, as well as Kurope; when the Nicaragua canal is finished, and we have a_direct water route and extensive trade with Australia, Asia, Milanesia, Java, Sumatra, Bornen, the Philippine is- lands, Japan, China, India and east Africa, these western states will be as much the **Hub” as Boston, New York Liverpool or London will be. In fifty yoars from now there will doubt- less be over fifty million people living iu happy, temperate, quiet and fruitful homes between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi river. = Prof. Blake has shown that while tho topography of the country remains as it now is, there is not much that man can do to increase the annual amount of rainfall upon this eastern slope of the Rockies, but he has shown that with the planting of trees and sub-soil plowing the rain which does fall can nearly all be retuined where it falls and thus double the pro- duction of the soil. In additivn to this he has positively demonstrated for many years that it is possible to so cal- culate the forces of nature that the wet and dry years can be so predicted for a year or more in advance. What ho can now do approximately others will do more perfectly in y to come. Sup- posing fifty to one hundred million peo- ple were living on thisslope and a great drouth should sween over the land, en- tirely destroying the crops, what would be the result? famine would ensue equal to th se which occasionally oceur in China. But this can be entirely averted by knowing in advance that the drouth is coming. In that event the people would hold over from the years of plenty enough to last through the drouth; reservoirs would collecy all the water possiblo in the wet seasons and hold it for irrigation during the drouth; artesian wells and windmills would be worked to their fullest capacities for irrigation during the drouth; the sub- soil plowed lunds would hold all the rain that might fall, and Prof. Blake nas shown that with a full knowledge of the coming drouth, such erops could be sown at such unusual times as would make fair yields, notwithstanding the drouth, and thus avert the impending famine to millions of human beings. The price of the book is $2, which would be high for an ordinary work of this size, but Mr. Blake and soveral assistants haye put twelve months’ work upon it, and the figures, formula and logarithms used would fill a large ledger. e Vigor and Vitality kly given to ever by Hood’s la.

A Distingnished Englishman's Im- pression of Things About ‘‘the Hub.” Cambridge has a distiaguished visi- tor in the person of Idwin Arnold. The gentleman who is famous over the civilized world as hor of “Light of Asia,” is now on_his first tour of the United States. For a week or more friends and cellers have found him the guest of President Eliot at Cambrid, To them and to_all who knew him, Sir Edwin seems quite at home in the shade of Harvard, Asan Oxford man, he re gards the younger vniversity with feel- ings of the warmest friendship, says the Boston Herald. It was the alma mater of his father-in-law, and is further en- deared to him by intimate personal ac- quaintance with professors who teach within its walls to-day. “Now that I think of it,” said Si win, in o recent interview, ‘‘there is, perhaps, the same tendency in manners as that which finds its expression in language, and above allin the language of the American newspaper. There is s0 much to be done and so little time to do it in, that you ave forced, in spite of yourselves into cut habits of speech; L i A s P e “aud the fragmants pass unchallenged because they are suited to the quick, feverish life of the street. It would be a pity if—even on this vast continent, with its importaut future—our grand old mother tongue should be per: nently mutilated.. But itis premature, Ishould say, to suggest such o thing. You have among you those who use the English language in its cative purity. THE BOSTON PEOPLE, for examplo, speuk as we speak at home. Why, in the case of Englishmen intro- duced to me here, I have more than once—until my mistake was pointed out —treated them as Bostonians,” As a London editor Mr. Arnold knows American newspapers—for they are d livered at his sanctum daily—as well as if he had spent his life on the contineunt which produces them, He finds in them much that is suggestive of origing and enterprise. He is struck with the almost boundless effort and ingenuity devoted in this country to the obtaining of the news, and feels that the journal which “gets the news” exists because people want it. But in admitting this e is far from accepting the populur American view of Enghsh journalism. **Our London newspaper,” he said, “is far from being dull ana pouderous, We take great pains to give it interest and variety. The news we offer is of weight. Almost as much care is devoted to the preparation of a leading article as to the wrilm&g of an essay for an encyclo- vedia, and the care is expended, not are qui art of the 1d- ity | l in making it heavy and unreadable, but in giving it elogance as well ns in= terest, picturesquenessas well as power. And our mvfl\m‘l of doing these things is so characteristically English—so rooted in the conditions of English journalism—that I do not regard change ns even possible. Experiments are made from time to time, and enterprise may carry certain newspapers innew di- rections, but the great Knglish dailies are likely to remain substantially what they are.” [n further conversation, President Eliot's guest preferred--perhaps, as an editor, already surfeited with the sub- j not to make any extended allusions to British politics. He regrets misrep- resentations that have been made re- garding the condition of workingmen in England, and views the outlook for labor in Great Britain as hopeful. On Thursday Sir Edwin was conducted through the university by President Eliot. Yesterday he expressod in warm langunge the delight it had given him to meet so fine a body of students, add- ing: “What else could I expect? the manliest and most energectic of your youth, gathered from ali parts of ‘this broad country.” Sir Edwin Arnold lecturves at Har- vard on the evenings of Tuesdays Waednesdays next, Later he will ¢ the continent in order to proceed San Francisco to Japan and China. ‘Thirty years ago Isanc Cook started his celebrated extra dry imporial champagne.

OCTOBER 4, 1880.--The advertisemont of soveral retail dealers, under the form of a communication as it appears in THE BEE of this date, is not based npon the truth, and the parties signing the same are well aware of it, as the following reasons from their own standpoint will testify: 1. Wo hiave had applications from four of thcm, fndividually, to be faken fn out of the cold; in other words, If they sold coal at our prices, would we allow them the cartage, each party vledging himselt to keep strictly “mum,” 5o far as his nelghbor was concerned, 2. We have had offers from the same parties, based on the follow= ing, to-wit: A.~Under what conditions would we rotire from the retall business, they guaranteeing us a cortain tonnage for the seasons of 180, 1890 and 1501, and finding & market for our coal, I, Under what conditions would we remain in the retail business, they guarauteeing us a certain tonnagoe as bofore mentioned, but we agreeing to maintain prices, . From the foregoing faots, I think tho generous and fair-minded publio will agree with me that any further remarks are unneceseary. H. A, COX, A. T. THATCHER, Council Bluffs, Ta., Brown Building. Chicago, Ills. ——TO THE- Coal Consuming Public The coal dealers of Couneil Bluffs would most _respectfully say in explanation of the reduction in price of conl made by A. T, Thatcher, of this city, that Mr, Thateher has heretofore claimed to sell coal by wholesale only. and that many of us have purchased coal from him at the market prices, and would still continua to do =0, if wo could get a good article of conl that would please our trade, but with coal bought from M, Thateher we_ have had a great deal of trouble and complaint, and thoso of us who have handled his coal have been Ohbliged to Withdraw Our Orders rom himor loge our customers. To resent this and coerce the dealersinto buying an inferior article of coal Mr. Thatehor has come into the retail trade, and is now offering his coul at a less price delivered to consumors than he charged us for it at his yards, and also at lower prices than we could purchase Merchantile Coal elsewhere. We are prepared to fornish a statement fully verified as to the correctness of the above explanation: Snapp & Knotts, D. E. Carbon Coal Co., N.
