A few motious were argued, and in the afternoon the divorce case of Frederick vs Arabells E. Brownold was submitted. The plawtiff alleged that his wife left him on the 2d of last January, with oune James Higains, and has since that time resided with the same Higgius in various places in open adultery, and is now at Pueblo, Col. Several letters from the defendant to the plantiff wero submitted, and the court wiil render a decision this week, The grand jury made its first and final re- port, and was discharged. But threo in- dictments were returned, two of them being against W. W. Carrington, who is now con- fined in the county jail, for work- ing a conflience game. The indict- monts charged swindling and larceny, His bond was fixed at $2,00 on the firs count and $1,000 on the second. The third judictment was roturned against a party not under arrest, und s bond was fixed at $1,200, The name of the party and the nature of his offense will be made public as 800 us he is placed under arrest.

There is a surprising amount of interest already shown regarding the mayoralty for next year, uithough the spring election is yetalong way off. The politicians are look- ing over the fleld for possible candidates, taking an nventory of the marketable tim- ber, 80 to speal:, to see just about what op- position cortain fuvorites will have to con- tend against. 1t may be a little early to begin work for the spring campaign,” said a prominant democratic leader yesterday, when inter- viewed regarding the matter, ‘‘but you can depend on one thing—these fellows are not working for their health, and they won't do anything that they do not think uecessary. ‘The situation 18 a_little different now from what it hasbeen 1n the past, und we want to mt up w first class ticket next spring. t1s imperative that all vacancies i the council shall be filled with progressive men, and we want a wan for mayor who will nov be u drawback, The Bluffs1s going to tako @ big jump next year, and we want public improvements Lo keep pace with everything else.

He is progressive, and I rather thipi he would be willing to o half way to meet the mayor's chawr.

He bas been out ot politics, as you might say, for some littie time, and there would be' less opposition thun he would bave had to meet @ whil2 ago. Another possible can- didate is Judge K. B, Aylesworth, He is well up in city business and would be i valuable man to have in the council. There is plenty of avalable timber, and we want to get the best. The principal rcason that s fow parties are stirring around now is to find just how the situation looks for certain candidates and to get vhin, fixed, Thoy will know long before the city convention is called what their chances are and whother 1t will do to enter the There will be a great deal of qulet canvassing done, but if it results In the election of a ficst-class mayor uo one need do any kicking."” R An Important Fact, The Hurdman upright mano is the only piano made in the world which positively improves with use, in all climates. This is a very strong assertion, but we can substan- tiate it by testimony which is irresistible. Other pianos deteriorate, owing to their foundation-tone being invarably metalic. By the Hardman method of construction, however, which is based upon the violin principle of resonance, use only tends to do- velop the Leautiful tone which exists in the very basis of the instrument, ueller Music Company, sole agents, 103 Main street, Council i>1uffs, Hat and bounet sale at Friedmau’s this week, TR Among the Churches.

A Lovely Girl's-Bxtraordinary Com- pact With an Aged Farmor, BULLIONAND ORANGE BLOSSOMS How « Huntington’s Charms Ones Causedd a Dounle Tragedy—An Arkansas Papa Outwitted ~Kato O'Reilly’s Strange Oareer. Short Stories. Among the marvinge licenses issuod recently in St. Louis was one to Jesse Fovell, seventy-nine years old, of Cal- houn county, Hiinois, and Mamie Isdell, twonty-three years ola, of St. Louis. A reporter saw the couple emerge from the recorder’s office, and was attracted by their conduct, A little old man with a beard resembling that in the pictu of “Uncle Sum,” only of a shorter growth, could scarcely contain Himself within the limits of decorous joy at the vista of sweet possibilities presented to his love-lighted gaze. The heroine was svidently of & reserved nature, and no one could tell by her calim expression thata story was written there. She conversed amiably with her aged lover, and shared her conversation h the friends that were with them. She be- trayed no repungence to her afanced, and treated him with the attention and courtesy she would have shown a lover of hor choice and not one of gilded de- votion. She was evidently a giri of in- tellect as well as education, and was the animated center of the little group who were withthe applicants for a marriage ense, / d down the court- houso steps an Al near by said: “That is the oddest case I've ever seen, and I've secen a great many strango ones. The man’s not only seventy-nine, but ‘ola for his age,’ as t. ng goes, and the splendid looking ~ creature with him is a girl of not more than twenty. romance in the affair than is told, and there is certainiy a mystery somewhere; the bridal is agaiust all ideas of con- ventionality. She isa beauty and no mistake about it and dresses like & girl of fashion, too. It will be hard lines on her to setttle down with such a husband. In addition to being an ‘old man’e dar- ling,’ she will have to be a young man’s step-mother, for the old farmer has a big son.” Reportorial investigation resulted in very interesting vevelations. It is said the old gentleman is worth about & half million dollars and lives on a farm in Callhoun county, Illivows. His wife died about four months ago. His nephew, Isanc Fovell, lives in St. Louis, and Miss Isdell, bezutiful, and highly educated and accomplished, but poor, has been o sort of companion and nursery govern- ess in Isaac’s family, About a month ago the uncle visited the nephew and becume greutiy smitten with the girl’s charms. He paid court to her, and the affuir, according to the story, culmi- nated 10 a cash offer of $100,000, which was accepted, and the marvinge took place Thursday. A visit to the house of the nephew showed the newly mar- ried couple had gone on their bridal tour. A dozen people were found who had heard the story of the cash transuc- tion. Isaac Fovell, the nephew, and at whose house the wedding occurred, said: *I have nothing tosay on the subject. Itis strictly a fumily affair, and one which 1 will not give to the ublic. Whether she received $1,000 or 100,000 I wiil not acknowledge, It is all a matter of interest only to them.” he matter evidently, for some reason seriously irritated him, but several admissions, and the remark, ‘*Some one must have heard me at the recorder’s office,” repeated once or twice by him, gave evidence of the truth of the orange blossom bargain. The Hatzfeldt-Huntington engage- ment recalls & romantic story of about ten yeurs ago, in ‘which Miss Clara Huntington, then in the very first love- liness of maidenhood, was innocently involved in a tragedy that shocked the entire community of San Francisco. Miss Huntington was at that time a beautiful girl, with all the simple coauetry of her age and her recent em- ancipation from the school room. She surrounded by numbers of ad- mirers, among whom were a certain Mr. Daly, of, if I am not mistaken, New Haven—a blond, tall, distinguished tooking, frank and di in manner, and a man most attractive in sociery: and a Me. Hanke, who aid to be u miving expert who had made his money in Peru. He, too, was very ndsome, although of an ontively different typo from Daly. Both men were infatuated with Miss Huntington, and in justice to every one, 1 may say thut Miss Hunting- ton’s money was not by any meaus an important ~influence with either of them. One night the two men called upon Miss Huntington in the Palace Hotel, and on leaving quarrelled hotly about the question of precedence 1 wooing the heiress, In the excitement of the argument Daly struck Hanks, knocking him down on the marble flooring, just in front of the hotel dining room, Hunks swore vengeance for the blow, and men who witnessed the altercation and knew Hunks’ disposition warned Daly to go armed. aly, however scolfed at the proposition and asserte that he had never gone armed and never would, On the following morn- ing the city was electrified by the stery of a tragic shooting affair, involving the two men whdsequarvel had already become known. There were a dozen eye-witnesses tonrelate the dreadful story of Hank's shot from behind a sign-board, of Dalys fall and his dying words, “You cowurd,” and there were murmurs loud and desp of lynch law. Hanks was immediately imprisoned, and all the facilities for making his exit from this world being tleft within his reach by 4the curious legerete, which was manifest at that time 1n_the grimn regulations, he secured a Springfield rifle from a stack standing in the corrider where he was allowed to exercise, seated himself, placed the muzzle in his mouth, pulled the trigger with his toe, and entered into mystery. The newspaper accounts of the affair were most cautiously worded, and it is scarcely necessary to say Miss Hunting- ton’s nume did not figure in them, Ut- terly blameless as she was in the affair, the sewsitive gi_rl was everwhelmed by the event, and it was long before she re- covered from its shock. An elopement took place vecently in Fort Swmith, Ark., that for unique developement rivals anything on record. John Meadors had for a long while been clandestinely making love to Miss Josephine Crain,the daughter of a vell-known citizea, Miss Crain’s father objected, as sowme fathers have & way of doing, and the love-lorn swain bethought himself of a ruso whereby he wight foil papa. When finally the old gentleman began to talk of doing some shooting if bis intentions were persisted They say there's more of a | had como to sct. | S0 he fixed it up with Miss Crain, and | one morning they had it arrangod to flee ere the cock crew. John went to the house before daylight, and enterdd his sweetheart’s room, but it _was sorn | time before he could arouse her. The noise awoke the old man, and he came charging in just as Meadors went out | the window. The old man made chase and Meadors gave him the slip around | the house, where he jumped on his horse, closely followed by Miss Crain in | hor night clothes, who rehed behind | him, while the horse lit out in the orthodox Lochinvar fashion. Papa, now considerably irate, gave chase, but he couldn’t keep up with tho nag, and the couple gave him the stip in acorn patch, where Mendors secreted s shivering sweetheart while he rode back to town for a dress and o justice. An hour later the two were married under the spreading branchesof a pecan tree, and papa, foiled again, went off and got drie Kate O'Reilly, twenty-seven yoars old and rath comely of form and fentures, was brought to Stockton, Cal., by Doputy Sherift Wray, of Los ngeles, and lodged in the state insanc asylum, She has a startling history. When only thirteen years old she was kid- nuped by a teapper and taken from her native land, Canada, to the Red river country. At the age of fourteen she was a mother. At the age of eighteen she was abandoned by the trapper, whom she had nssisted .in his business of hunting for fur-bearing animals, und was subsequontly captured by Riel's band of outlaws. One of the leader’s men married her and she fought all through the Riel rebellion. After that she camo to the United States and placed her daughter in an eastern con- vent. Having become expert in horse- manship, she went into_oquestr tests here and exhibited alsoin M It was she who won the thivty mile race at Los Angeles. In June last the convent in which her daughter had been placed was burned and the girl perished in the flame The news shattered her mother's nerves and wrought her insanity. Her whole thoughts are centered on the child, whom she imagines to be con- stantly with her. The young woman is believed to have wealthy connections in the eust. but all attempts to discover their whereabouts have thus far failed. The elopement of Mrs. Charity Brown (colored), of Atlanta, with her former husband, Lee Shepherd, is the culmina- tion of fifty years of separation. In 1849 Charity, thén a woman of thirty, living in Hannover county, Va., was the wife of Lee Shepherd, and had b rne to him six children. Falling under the dis- pleasure of her master, he sold her to a Georgia slave trader, who in turn sold her to the Truedem family. by whom she was taken to IFannin county, Georgin, and in that county she has lived ever since. Shortly after her ar- rival there she married Spencer Adams, and had another family u} five children. by these children she became a grand- mother and has now in the county about fifty descendants. Recently an old negro appeared in that community, having worked on the Marietta & North Georgia railroad. He proved to be Charity’s Virginia husband of forty years ago. His presence created trou- le between the woman and her second busband and the other day she disap- peared, having eloped with Lee Shepherd, It is believed that the cou- ple will seek their old home in Vir- ginia. All the parties interested are over seventy years of age. Seseh e FREDERICK. THE GREAT. The Musical Works of That Royal Composer Published. Everything that Frederick the Great ever wrote has already been publisned (in upward of one hundrea volumes) with the exception of his musical com- positions; and these are now to be offered to the public in a handsomely bound volume, says London Life. The friend of Voltaire and the pupil of Ruantz, he is known to have cultivated the flute; and it is orted that when Quantz did not teach him nroperly (pos- sibly when he objected to his pupil’s g false notes), the musical war- rior and king would belabor his pr ceptor with his familiar stick. This wenpon was also used by him standing in front of his atie orchestra, he looked over the of the musical corductor and struck that virtuoso from time to time wilen false notes were played. Often clf assumed the office of con- ductor; standing behind the orchestra, much as Sig, Faccio stands when he is conducting ut Milan or at our own Liy- ceum, and Limsclf beat time: though, between time-beating and conducting in the intelligent, artistic sense of the word, there is o notable differcnce. It would be really intevesting to see and, let us hope, hear the compositions about which so much has been suid by musical historians,who knew them only at second-hand. Quantz, we know, had no opinion of them whatever, and dis- missed them much as Voltaire dismissed the French verses which his temporary friend was so fond of composing It was not until Voitaire had fled from Berlin that it occurred to him how bad his patron’s metrical compositions really were; and no particular value ought to be attached to the opinion of a French- man who, when he was living with his country’s enemies, vilified in every possible manner his own countrymen, were it not for the fact that the verses he afterwards criticised were indced bad, What o light it throws upon the history of Germgu civilization, that just about one century ago the king of one of the most German states wrote habitually in French, and, without be- ing a perfent Frenchman, was scarcel acquainted for literary purposes with his own tongue! Musie, happily, is of no language; and it may be hoped that before long some of Ifrederick’s flute music will be given in some London concert hall, This matter concerns Mr. Radcliffe, Mr, Bavratt, and that excel- lent amaveur (superior to most profes- sonals), Mr. Collard, Mr. Collard ought to play some of Frederick’s com- positions, first on Fredericl’s own flute, secondly, on the flute recently inven and perfected by Mr. Collard himself. . SIX-TOED PETE AND THE GRIZZLY. A Battle Royal in Which the Winner w a Reporier. The only grizzly bear in captivity in California, is owned by the San Fran- cisco Examiner, which detailed a re- porter in charge of a bear-hunting ex- pedition last May, and welcomed a mag- nificent animal, the undisputed mon- arch of tne Sierra Madre, some two weeks ago. The bear was captured, after weeks ot hard work,ina tiap wmade of heavy lofis. the bait bewng a steer’s carcass and some honey. Bix traps were baited and scattered through the mountain within a radius of sixty wiles from the reporter’s camp., The bears were allured by steer’s carcasses which were set on the ground and close to the trap each night. The bear cup- tured proved his claim to the title of mouarch by fightiog for it. Four bears visited the reporter’'s camp and quar- relled over the bait. One was a mon- |in. Meadors determined that the time | strous grizzly, as shown by the tracks; a sccond was of enormous size, the track being nine inches wide and fourteen inches long. He was & cinuamon bear, known to the mountaincers as Six-Toed Pete, The other two bears were smaMer, and were soon disposed of. Then the battlo royal for the bait be- tween ~Toed Pete and the monarch began, At the approach of the cinnamon the grizzly arose upon his haunches and ut- tered low, hoa growls, and when the big fellow appeared within twenty feet of him, Yie launched himseil forward with surprising swiftness and struck Pete a blow on the neck that stuggered him. It was like one of Sullivan's rushes in the ring, and the blow of that pondrous paw would have knocked out an oxy but Pete was no slouch of a slug- ger himself, and ho quickly recovered and returned the blow witn good will that had the grizzly’s head beon in the way it would nave ached for a week afterward. Then the fur began to fly. It was im- possible to follow the movements of the comnatants in detail, as they sparred, bit, clinched and rolled about, but in a general way Six-toed Pote scemed to bo teying to make his superior weight tell by rushing at the grizzly and knockiug him over, while the latter avoided the divect impact of the ciunumon's great bulk by quick turns and a display of agiiity that wus scarcely erediblo of so unwield-looking an animal. Once the cinnamon seized the y by the thront and for a mom hushed the latter’s fierce growls by choking off his wind, but the grizzly sat down, throw his arm over Pete’s neck, placed his Paw upon Pete’snose,sunk his claws indeep and instantly broko the hold. As they parted the grizzly made s sweep with his right paw and caught Pete on do of the head. The blow either ed the cinnamon’s left eye or toro the flosh around it, so that the blood blinded him on that side, for aur- ing the rest of the fight be tried to keep his nght side toward the grizzly, and seemed uaable toavoid blows delivered on his left. FFor at least n quarter of an hour the combat raged without an i X sation, both b terrifi £, punctual casional howls of pain. Neithe get a fair blow at the other’s head. Had the gri strack the cinnamon with the full force of his tremendous arm, Pete's skull surely would have been smashed. Pete finally got enough.broke y from the monarch and fled into the 1 badly used-up bear, and he never came back. el 2 il S FISH AND BIRD iN A DEATH GRiP. A Kingfisher Seized By a Pickerel and Both Are Killed. A kingfisher sat ona branch of a dead tree on the edge of Lake Keuke tne other day, near Fairchild’s Point, watching for his dinner, says a Hum- mondsport, N. Y., special. ~ A black bass fisherman was in his boat in the cove only two or threo rods above the spot where the bird was sitting, He quit fishing, and kept his eyes on the kingfisher, curious to seo the bird dive for its fish when the time came. He had to t but & short time, for a fish came within the line of the kingfisher's vision, and the bird drop- ped like a stone into the water and dis- uppeared beneath the surface. Tt renp- peared almost immediately with a fish impaled in its strong, spear-like bealk. The bird’s body hud scarcely come to the surface, however, when it disap- peared aguin with a sulldenness that left no doubt that it had been jerkked back by something that had seized it. The kingfizher did not come up aguin, und the fisherman rowed to the spot where it had gone down to seo if he could find an explan: tion of the pird’s extraordinavy disap- pearance. A dead pickerel, about eight inches long, was floating on the water. A hole through its body below the dorsal fin showed plainly enough that the pickerel s the fish the kingfisher had speared. The fisherman drifted about the epot for some time, but being unable to discover anything that would solve the mystery of the bird’s disappearance was turning his boat to row vack 1o tne cove when something came to the surface near the shore twenty-five yards below. The fisherman rowed down to the spot and to his surprise found an immense pick- evel and with it the kingfisher. One of the kingtisher’s legs was between the the great jaws of the pickerel, the laster’s long teeth being set through it. The kinglisher’s long, keen biil was thrust through the pickerel’s body from side to side, six inches below the head. The situa- tion explained itsell. The p erel had seized the Kingfisher as it vising from the water with the small fish and pulled it back beneath the surface, expecting to dine on it. The big bird had instinctively turned and jabbed its beak through the p erel, iuflicting a fatal wound. "The rel, with the bull-dog tonncity of its kind, had kept its-hold on the bird’s leg, und the two had died together and floated to the surface. The position of the two was not changed, and they have been sent to a Rochester taxider- mist to be preserved and mounted as they appear in their death embrace, EDWIN ARNOLD'S DECORATIONS. The Star of India Bestowed Upon Him by Quren Vicioria. Sir Edwin Arnold is a man of medium height and_ swarthy complexion, full black beard and hair neatly trimmed, tace strongly marked and eye alert and genial, says the San Francisco Ixam- iner. His manner is cordiality itself. He is a rapid talker, and in his accent, especially in what an American may call che wheedling inflection, he is em- phatically English, The = daughter shows her mother's training, and, like h-bred American girl, is self- poised and self-reliant, without auauc- ity, and modest without constraint or diflidence. Like her father, she is a good talker and a good listener, I ven- tured to ask the distinguished visitor if he would show me the jeweled decora- tions bestowed u‘)un him by the queen and. by the orieutal sovercigns., He graciously consented and asked Miss Arnold to set them out. **I have to cart them about,” he said, ““for they will help me onward, They will all be re- quired during the journey.” "The table sparkled royally when the orders were all spread out—gold and jewels wrought n artistic forms and hung from gorgeous ribbons. Chief among them was the great star of India, as big a5 the palm of one’s hand, of solid sil- ver and gold set in diamonds and bear- ing the motto, **Heaven’s Light Our Guide,” This was given by the queen in recogmtion of his poem, *The Light of Asia.” R Owls as Mouss Oatchers. The barn owl, when she has young, brings to her nest a mouse about every twelve minutes, and, as she is actively employed both at evening and at dawn, and as male and female hunt, forty mice aday is the lowest computation we can wauke, says a reporter in Mac- millan’s Megazive, How soft is the plumage of the owl, and how noiseless ber fhight! Watch her as she floats past the ivy tod, down by the ricks, and silently over the old wood; then away over the meadows, through the open door, and out of the loophole of th; barn, round the lichened tower, an along the courso of the brook, Pres- ently she returns to her four downy young, with a mouse 1n one claw and & mole in the othor, soon to ba ri{mml up, torn, and eaten by tho greody, snap- ping imps. The young and eggs ara found in the same nest. If you would the midday sivsta of these bhirds, climb up into somo haymow. There in an angle of the heam you will see thele owlships snoring and blinking wide their great round eyes; their duet isthe most uncarthly, ridiculous, grave noise comceivable, like nothing else you ever heard. Here they will stay all da; digesting the mice with. which they have gorged themsolves, until twilight, when they again issue forth upon theig madeap rovels.
