The spreading of the rails on the Pierce strect loop of the électric motor line caused a motor to leave the: track about 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and in consequence the doop service was abandoned during the re- mainder of the day. ‘The truck was repaired last night and trains will run around the 100D today as usual. Messrs, Biseman & Company have leased @& building at Missouri Valley and will at ouce open a branch store av that place, They will put in u £50,000 stock of dry goods and clothing of the same quality and variety as carvied by them in their store in this city. It is pleasing to note the prosperity and enter- prise of this weli known firm and their suc- «cess in this new venture is all but assured. Alice Wilson, an inmate of the bagnio on Piorce strect known as “The Ark,” was ar- rested Saturday night on a charge of ma- licious mischief and trespass, She was con- siderably in a s for rent, and was lockéa out by the landlady. She objected to the procedure and kicked in tho door which re- uited in a warrant_being_secured for her arrest. She deposited #50 for her appear- ance before Squire Schurz today. The new time cavd that went into effecton the electric motor line Saturday gives a greatly improved service. Under the old chedule there was a twenty minute servico during the forenoon and after 7 o’clock in the ovening, and a ten minute service durig the afternoon, but hereafter there will be an eleven minute service from 6 o'clock in the morning until O in the evening, and after that hour a twenty minute service. Eight trains will be run during the entire day and early part of the eveniug. A test of the clectric motor current at tho end of the branch line to the transfer, showed it to be 480 volts, which was but 20 volts less than at the motor car house near the power station. The iesult was a surprise to Electrician Lovett, who would have been fully satisfied had it been 50 volts lighter, It speaks well for the fine manuer in which the wiring wus done and ull conunections made, a8 well as for tho general systom in use, us there aro two branches between the power station and the end of this line. A meeting will be held in the board of trade rooms at 7 o'clock this evening for the purpose of completing the organization of a real estate exchunge. The committee appointed at a previous meeting will make its report, and as there are several important matters to be considered, it desired to have & large attendance, Not' only real estate men aud owners of real estate are requested to be present. The move is one in which all property owners should be interested, and their interest should be manifested by their attendance at the meeting. Justice Harnett has rendered his decision in the case of the Council Biuffs club vs P. M. Pryor. Suit was brought to recover dues, in the payment of which it was alleged Pryor was delinquent. nd- ant set up the claim that he had notified the club of his withdrawal, and that he had not been @ member of the organization for months, - A decision was rendered in favor of the defendant, and & judgment given him for costs, The case was watched with con- siderable interest, as severul suits against other ex-mewbers were hinging on it. Frank Trimble was towed in arain and locked up yesterday afternoon. This, by the way, 8 little else than an every-day occur- rence, but on this occasion Trimble got some one else into trouble, He was as full as usual and insulted o passerby, who resented At by slupping his faco and bestowing several kicks where they would do the most good.

D, Olmstead vs the Retall Marchants 0- Clation vo secure damages boeouuse the said association had placed his nawe on the black- list, thereby causing the loss of his eredit. It may bere be stated that a branch of this association was organized 1o this city sev- eral mouths ago, and it has constantly in- ercased 1 membership until the name of nearly every business firm in the city now Mppears on the roll. If a dobtor of auy of the meabers rofuses to pay tis bill, he is Botifled that & failure to do o or make some Provision for doiug the same or give some reasonnble excuse why he is unable to do, | will subject him to a piace on the blacklist, When thus posted the victim is unable to obtain credit of anv member of the associa= tion, who are compelled by the ruies of the assoclation to refuse him credit. The pur- pose of the nssociation is to vrotect its mem- bors from dead boats, and it has succeeded admirably, There are very few peopie who do not desire credit at somo time or other, and none fina it advantageous to have a place on the blucklist of this association, Quito natnrally several suits have been in- stituted in different parts of the states. One case at Atluotic was dismissed by the court before it was tried, but the first « to go 10 a jury after a long and careful was that at Muscatine last week, For the greater portion of two days the case of C. W. Wells va the Retail Merchants® association and McCampbell & Day was on trial beforo Judge Brannan and ajury in the district court. It boing the first case of this nature to be tried, it naturally excitad a great degree of interest, and its progress was curiously watched by some and with a little anxiety by those connected with the defona - ant association. The decision favorable to the defendant is bound to have no little ef- fect in creativgan impression of the perfect legalty of the association. In this suitthe plaintiff claimed that he had boen damaged in the sum of §2.500, because of the listing of his name as a “‘dead beat”’ by the association and at the instization of the defeadant, ampbell & Day. The plaintiff also med in his petition that the association organized, but that it was njustly compel the piyment of claims owned by its members. The asso- clation, 1n its answer, denied that it was an unlawful organization, and averrod that its objects and purpose were lawful, and in- tended to protect its wembors in giving credit against loss of accounts and prosits in business. It admitted that it furnished mem- with information, that McCampbell & claimed an account against the vlantiff, h the (atter refused 1o pay, and further admitted to having furnisbed such informa- tion to tho association. After tho plaintiff introduced all his testimony the defendunts asked the court to direct the jury to roturn a verdictin their favor for the reason that thero was no merit in the claim of the plaitift and that his rights had o no way been af- fected by the conduct of the defentants, Upon this motion the court said that unaer the testimony of the plaintiff it siiown that the Retail Merchants' ass tion is a corporation organized for pecuniar: profits and for tho purpose of furnishing - formation to its members intended to protect thent in their business interests by advising them of the respousibility ~ of per- s liable to become their pat 5 that defendants McCampbell of belonging to a local branch of the same at Muscatine, consisting of retail merchants of the city und subordinate to the parent or main association av Des Mo! 3 thut Me- Campbell & Day sent their accounts to the main oftice just and correct, and not being paid by plaintff, was reported to the mem- bers of the defendantassociation ; that it was given to members of the assoctation only, and in confidence, and was intended to be seen and known by no other persons, Uvon this testimony the court held that the com- munication of such information was privi- leged and its publication in the manner indi- cated did not * constitute a cause of action. “In these days,” said the court, “reporting agencies ure common. The merchant who goes inlo business is rated, to udvise those of whom he may ask credit as to his financial responsivility. The pecuniary standing of even the lawyer who hangs out his shingle and Invites business is reported to those in- ed and there is no sufficient reason persons expected 1o extend credit should nov know the responsibility of their would-be debtors. There 18 no good reason why retail merchants, for the purpose ot pro- tecting their business intorests, should not furnish each otlier information regarding the liability of customers. No merchant, in the absence of a coutract 8o to do, is compelled to give credit to any person, It is no viola- tion of the legal rights of a person for a merchant to refuso credit. From the testi- mony in the case, there scemed to be noth- ing in the objects or methods of this associa- tion In_contravention of the rights of the plamuff or inimical to sound morals or natu- ral justice.” In view of the premises, he sustained the motion of the defendant to di- rect the verdict in their favor, whereupon the plaintiff dismissed his action. The fore- going decision, whicn virtually ends the case, also disposes of the remaining suits ugainst the association. 5 2 el The Ross Investment and T'rust company. i A ) Now is the time to buy your furnimre.

The pleasant sunshine and the soft May morning atmosphera offered strong incen- tives to the people to leave their houses and enjoy the invigoration of a Decomber day that was n every respect as delightful as the May days sung about in the hymns, As @ consequence all the churches hod unusually large audiences ut the various services yes- terday. At the First Presbyterian church the pastor, Rev, Stephen Phelps, occupied the pulpiv at the morning hour and delivered a very strong sermon from Izaiah 53-3, “I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” A covenant is a mutual consent or agree- ment between two or more parties to do or forbear some act or thing. For equals to covenant together requires no condescen- sion; but it is amazing condescension for God to covenant with man, A goodly num- ber of covenants of God with man are found in the bible: e. g that with Noai after the flood; with Abraham as to his posterity, and the land and the blessing; with David that his son should sit forever on his throne; fui- filled tirst with Solomon, and last in Christ. But there are only two that we call cove- nants of everlasting hife, viz: T'he covenants of works ana of grace, 1. The covenant of works, If the transac- tion between God and Adam was a cove- nant for the race, then God must have re- gurded Adam, aod Adam must have re- garded himself, ns the representative of the race, The idea of rcpresentation runs throughout the bible, As found today among men, it s derived from the bible, Parents represent their chbildren as in the second commandment; as afho in the case of Achan, Nathan and Abiram, Ahab, Jero- boam, Canaan #nd others, The victim i the sacrifice represented the offerer, ‘he hizh priest represented che people and Christ. rop- reseuts His disciples. Even covenant repre- sentation is in the bible, too; as in the cases already mentioned God covenanted with Noub, Abratam, David aud Christ as repre- senting others. it is common_in history too, Franklin, Adams, Joy and Laurens repre- sented the American peonle in the treaty at Paris which closed the revolutionary war, Their action, as such, bas affected every moment of our tory, as a nation and as persons, through all the huodred years that have intervened. It is not out of keeping, then, with secular or sacred history, nor with present customs among men, to 100k on Adam as acovenant representative of the race, The promise implied, of life; and the penalty threatened and inflicted are as ap- plicable to his descendants as to him. The elements ol a covenant were present; parties, condition, promise and penalty, Tne test was very simple, but little thin test charac- ter often more than great things. The sig- nificauce, given to Adams, siwple act of eat- iug the fruit, und the fact that it was s eating and not kve's, that brought the curse, WS that he was acting as o representative of the race; as @ covenant head. The fall of man was not an allegory, vor a myth. It was as real a bistorical fact as was the de- feat of Nupoleon 111, at Sedan; the defeat of Nupolaou I. at Waterloo; the surrender of Corawallis at Yorktown, or of Lee st Rich- mond. The first covenant haviog been broken, God entered into u second and bet- tor covenant. It is double, first, & covenant of redemption between G and the Son of God; second, a covenant of grace between God and the believers . Christ. This is everlusting. Both parties are to live for- ever, and 8o it is possible that there should be au evorlasting covenant between them, It 1s also of everlasting lite, and tQ deliver from everlasting death. Ii dates Juwo eternity A A THE past, and reaches forward into eternity future. Christ's rightcousness, which is the ground of the covenant, is worthy of ever- lasting romembrance and resuits, Everlast- ing life begins at the moment of believing. God's covenant with David and with Abra ham and Noah were true. This 1s like them, sure. The marriage covenant endures through all the remamning years of the partics and under all possibie circumstances. God likens His covenant with us to that. Who will not, by the simple act of faith in the Lord Jes1s' Christ, place himself into this everlasting covenant relation with God?t - Finest market 1n city—J. M.

The union depot project seems to have taken a new lease of life, and rencwed hope has taken possesaion of the fondly trusting citizens of the Bluffs, As stated yesterday, tho sito 18 now seured, and the last of the deeds of the necessary lots to the union depot company have been filed with the county recorder. Hon. George I, Wright left last evening for Chicago, in company with a Kansas City architect, who has viewed the proposed site and prepared plans suitable for it. Mr. Wright goes for the purpose of meeting the oMicials of the vari- ous roads, and will present to them a_ state- mont of what the unfon depot _company has done, and the plans prepared by the archi- tect ‘Iie depot committee is vory sanguino asto the result of the conference, and it is be- lieved that all_ arrungements will be com- pleted 8o that work on the new structure may be commenced early (n thespring. 1t is argued that there is now nothing in the way of pushing the mattor through to a succoss - ful issue. 1118 belioved that the fact that a new union depot is to be erected in Omaha will assist rather than retard the matter, many expressing the opinion that the un- settled state of affuirs in this connoction in that city, for some time past, has been tho sole cause of the standstill regarding the union depot scheme here for several month It is certain that as soon as the matter was definitely settled on the other sde of the river, and the new depot was assured from Omaha, the parties on this side, who reaily have the matter in charge. huve suddenly evinced unusual in- terest in the matter, and now express the ut- most conlidence thata union depot will be erected in the Bluffs in 1800, For months past it has been alleged that all attempts to get a hearing on the subject from the ofiicials of the railroad have proved futile, and no en- couragent has been held out as to when this could be accomplished, but everything has now suddenly cnanged. and it 18 intimated that the desired conference will be had without further delay. Why this is 80 is a matter of little moment, if at lust all difi- culties have been removed and the long ex- pected depot is indeed to become a realt, ‘The raiiroad companies will not be asked for large appropriation, but little more, in fact, than they would necessarily have to expend to erect suitable local depots in place of the discreditable concerns that are now made to serve that purpose. If they refuse to take part in the union depot scheme, it will be necessary for every eastern road en- tering the city to erect new local depots, the cost of which, together with the very gene: ous rentals paid by them to the Union Paci railroad company for the use of the transfer depot, it is alleged, will be far more than that of the proposed new structure, und the accommodations for the travel- ing public much less satisfactory. ‘The union depot company has provided the site, and the railroad companies are asked to unite in the erection of a fine union depot in- stoad of dividing the necessary amount in the erection of half a dozen smaller and less vretentious structures in various parts of the city. The depot company would be a stock concern, each railroed company which con- tributes to tha building fund and every indi- vidual who subscribed toward the purchase of the site being credited with an amount of stock equivalent to the money invested. 1t is positively asserted by some, who are in a position to know, that the cause of the action thus suddenly taken is the daire - sult of a move on the part of the “Q” officiais, A few days ago President Perkins, Vice President Stone and Superintendent Brown of the fowa lines of the “Q,” were in the city and stated that unless some definite action was immediately taken regarding the erection of @ union depot in this city, they would proceed toerecta local depot, for which the money was appropriated several months ago. I'ho assertion was mude to them that the committee had found it im- possiblo to get the managers of the roads to- gether. They promptly declared such o statement to be little less than ridiculous, as the managers had a mecting in Chicago every few weeks, as was shown by the daily papers, and intimated that there must be some other reason for the failure of the com- mittee o act. ‘They then wenton to state that if the com. mittee would get any two of the other roads to unite with the Q" in the mattor, a new union depot would be erected, whether all of the roads agreed to it or not, bt stated that in such an event all of the roads would go in, a8 they could not afford to be left out in the cold. It is stated that this action on the part of these officials was the cause of the conference of the committee which resulted in the departure of Mr. Wright last evening, to appear atthe meeting of railroad man- agers in Chicago tomorrow. ——— Attend Chapman's Christmas opening, 5th December.

When in- formed that she was not at home the visitor requested the girl to call her, as she had an important communication w make, The girl did as requested, but when she returned a few minutes later the caller had gone. The bouse bad been hurriedly searched und the contents of drawers and trunks lay scattered over the floor, Nothing bu’ money bad been taken, the thief having secured & belonging to the hired girl und as much more belonging to Mrs. Thomas. The work had been done i avery short time and tne search was therefore & hurried one, The robbery was & very smooth piece of work, and the thief aoparently a professional.
