Mr. and Mrs. Dugan were towed in yester- day for disturbing the peace. The domestic atinosphere wus considerably rufiled, and a storm of quite exaggerated proportions was ready to break when the blue-coated minions of the law interposed a restraining hand. Both parties were relcased on their own recognizance, and will appear for trial to- morrow morning. J The December term of the superior court convenes tomoriow. ‘L'he first case to be tried will be that of Mynster, Lindt & Sea- brook vs George Ieurhauken, to recover attorney fees for defending Feurhauken on a charge of receiving stolen property. The latter case was tried at the last term of the district court aud the defendant was con- victed and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. * Yesterday morning Mat Harle, the Livery- man and trainer, was thrown from his buggy on Vine atreet, during a runaway, and dragged some distance. = He was painfully cut, bruised and scratched, and will be luid up for several days. Fortunately no bones were broken. The runaway was caused by his norse becoming frightened by a farmer’s team backing 1nto him on Madison street. The bugey was completely wrecked. Chief Walters yesterday filed an inform. tion in Judge Aylesworth’s court charging E. L. Landsberg and Frank Hollenbeck with violating the fire limit ordinance. Tbey moved a freue building across Fourth street contrary to the wishes of adjoining property owners and without obtaining the necessary permit. Chief Walters forbade moving the building and will vigorously prosecute the case. ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin” will apparently mever get out of date, judging from the audi- ence that assewbled at Dohany's laet even- iog.

A Proposed New Road. A.move is now on foot to overcome the difficulties of gotting into the city from the east, caused by the stoop grades through the Bluffs, by locating a new road up the croek bottom, beginniug near the residence of Peter Wels, on South First street, and pass: g the Jeffries tract and across the land owned by Vie Keller and Theodore Guittar, thence past the Chautauqua grounds and out throurh Garner township. The parties own- 1ng the land are anxious to have the road es- tablished, and it will probably be located by the board of county commissionors before vory long. At the last scssion the board re- fused to appropriate any money for cutting down the rond through the Canning street cut, on the ground that it would be a very expensive job and that there were dozons of othoer places which had just as much right to the appropriation, It is maintained that 1t would have cost fully $5,000 to have brought the Canning hill down to an easy grade, and it is argued in favor of the location of the proposed new road that it could be_opened with an outlay of not ex- ceeding $1,000 or £1,200, It would give an eutrance to the ci without a single hill or steep grade, and wonld uccommodate the bulk of the travelcomins in from tho east. Tt would give easy acvess to auy part of the city, as travel could come in over MePher- son uvenue, South I'irst street, or over Gra- ham avenue, which latter would give a di rect outlet to the southorn portion of the city The new road would also furnish a means of y communication wita the Chauta grounds, and would wmake a much shorter drive than 18 now necessary to reach that 8pot, The first Sunday uight theatrical at Dohany’s tonight. - Stamped linen goods ut cost this week at Friedman’s, B g Miss May Gleason has removed her dress- making parlors to the rooms lately used by the puolic library, No. 14 Pearl street, where she will be glad to see her old friends. gy New Fire Apparatus Need- d. Phere don’t anybody seem to kuow,” re- plicd Cnief Wallers yesterday morning when asked what apparatus was to be placed in the new fire house on lower Broadway. “The house is nearly ready to be used, but no move has yet been takon toward furnish- ing it with apparatus, There is some talk of geting a chemical engine, but that would, of course, be stationed at the central fire sta- tion. The Holloway company is now build- ing an engine to be tested hero and the Fire Extinguisher company has ‘Champion’ at the factory, all completed but putting on the name. The latter company has just put in a uew engine 1n Omaha, und I rather expect thoy will borrow that to exhibit here, as they absolutely refuse to ship one here for a competitive test. “Hut a cyemical will equip the new house, as a hoso reel and ladder truck is what is needed down in that part of the city, The question is, where are we going to get the reell We cannot take theone from the Main street house or the one on upper Broadway, for the folks would raise a terrible racket. I know how that goes, for I tried to change them around a while ago and the people will not be satisfied with the one-horse reel after they have had a double one. Tne double reels must stay where they areand thav leaves only ‘Old ’at’ and the single vecl. Is wouldn't do to send that down there, for somethin different is needed to haul ap- paratus over the unpaved streets in that locality, The only way that I can Hgzure 1t out is that the city will have to purchase a new double reel and about 1,000 feet of hose. ‘The little truck is just what is needed in the western part of the city, and the big truck would protect the business portion of the city. If they get a chemical for the central house that would carry ladders enough to answer all purposes iu outside districts where the big truck could not go. A new reel and a chemical would put everything in excellent shape, The single reel would stay where it now 18, and besides answering alarms 1 the heart of the city could be used Dby the sewer inspector for doing bis flushing work, It is about time something was being done, for the new house isn't worth a picayune unless it is equipped.” e ) Reduced prices for Uncle Tom’s Cabin at Dohauy’s tomight.

T want to prepare a resolution to present at the next meeting of the council,” an- nounced Alderman Waterman yesterday morning as he presented himself at the office of the city clerk ready for business, After cudgelng his brain for a fow moments ho presented the following: *Be it resolved by the city council of the city of Council Bluffs that the city engineer be required to prepare and file for record with the city clerk an invoice of all the city property in his possession, and that he sball be required 1o turn over to the city all such property at the expiration of s term of office,”" “There,” said the alderman from the First ward as he finished reading the resolu- tion, ‘'L rather think thot will do the busi- n “'It has got 8o that the city has got to buy an entiro new outdit for every engineer that is elected, and I propose to put a stop to it. When they 2o out of office they take their field notes and all such property, which I maintain is the property of the city. The other day we had to gev Tom Tostevin to Rive the lines of an ulley, because the field notes of the original survey were in his fbs- session, 1f this thing is kurl up, where will the city be after a while! All the notes taken and plats made while the engineer 18 working for the city are the city’s proverty, and should be kept. They are valuable for reference, in fact some of them are well well nigh indispensable. I will have this resolution adopted and then we will have all tuis property invoiced. “‘The chief of the fire department is re- quired to furnish & complete inventory of every aruele in his department belonging to the city, even down to cial scutties and brooms, and the same plan will work well in the department of city engineer. 1If these fleld notes belong to the city, the city wants 10 keep them, and if they do not belong to the city it Is time that we kuew it, 80 as to provide for getting some that the engineers cannot claim to own.” Uncle Tom's Cabin av Mny’l tonight, e Sheet wusic 10¢, 538 Broadway. ———r— Fiuest market 1 city—J.M.

This would undoubt- ediy bo a satisfactory solution of the ques tion, s it would do wway with any waitiog on _either side at the corner of Fifth avenue and Pearl. In that event the system would be the samo at tlie. other end of the line, some of the Main strect cars going around the loon and others to the park.

The Rev. Dr. George R. Vandewater, an Episcopal rector in Now York, says: ‘I have been told that we are running away from the poor, but it seems to me that any church that rents its pews from the chancel to the front aocors has already run away from the poor, It is tho sheerast nonsense for members of a church whose pews are all rented to flatter themselves with the thought that they are reaching the masses,” ——— EX-SENATOR BRUGCE, A Man of Uniform Courtesy —He Trav- els Only By Day. Boston Traveler: Ex-Senator Bruce of Mississippl is one of the familiar figures of Washington. He is a light- colored mulatto, weighing about 200 pounds. His hair is kinky and he wears a mustache on his jolly face. No man in the country, either white or colored, has more perfect manners than the only man of his race whoever occupied a seat in the United States senate, One of his friends said to me today as he Puusud down Pennsylvania avenue: ‘An interesting incident happened when ‘Bruce was in the senate. One day a southern lady called at the house of representatives and had an interview with a Mississippi member, who was a democrat, She explained that the war had reduced her family from affluence to positive poverty, and she implored him to obtain her a place in one of the government departments here, He replied that he was sorry; that he could do nothing with a republican adminis- tration, and that there wus only one man who could help her—Senator "Bruce. The lady replied that she could not think of lowering herself by asking a negro fora favor, even if he wasa United States senator, She was greatly dinheartened, but upon thinking the matter over, she concluded to swallow her feelings and call upon Mr. Bruce, That afternoon she sentin her card,and the senator met her in the eption room. She explained her position aud asked his aid, Mr, Bruce listened and said he could arrange for her appoint- 31 South Main St. ‘We handle only first-class ‘brands of coal. .

With all the courtesy of a gen- tleman of the older school he handed her toa carriageand directed the driver to proceed to the treasury department, He took another cab and met hor at the office of the secretary. In a few mo- ments the appoingment was made and the lady, who at one time owned more than a thousand mon of the senntor race was put on the road to carn her own living. Mr. Bruce had many op- portunitics of performing similar acts while he was in the senate.and henever failed to improve a single one. [ called uponchim the other night and found him at dinner in his room. 1 was somewhat surprised and asked him why he did not take his meals in the public dining room of the hotel. ~Ho saids ‘Tt is my rule never to intrude where there isa sha- dow of a suspicion that my prosence may not be desirable. For thut reason I never patronize a sleeping car or take meals on the train. Before I start on a jour- ney Larrange s0 as to travel by duy- Light, and my wife prepares a luncheon for me.” This reminds me that M Bruce is one of the handsomest ladies in Washington. Her m: the senator created an immenso i in Cleyeland, She 5 cher there and her family mingled freely in white society. There was not a suspicion that they ored blood in their veins member correctly, her quite high in the Masomic frate 'J'!lcir eldest child is a beautiful boy. When Bruce’s credentials were pr sented in the senute, his democratic colleague rafused to escort him to the front to take the oath of office from the presiding officer. The situation was an embarrassing one for a moment,hut the quick eve of Senator Conkling at once grasped it. He arose,aund with that dignity which but few men possess, he extended his arm and with the great re- publican leader at lus side, Mr. Bruce was sworn in, Senator Bruce never forgot this kindly act. His son’s name is Roscoe Conkling Bruce. —— SHOCKED THE DOGS. A Dead Hog Creates n Olrcus Among st Paul Canines. Last Thursday a dog was obserced to i suddenly, then yelp and run away justas he was passing the butcher shoy of Will & Vuckel on seventh treet, says a St. Paul dispatch to the St. Louis Republic. Preseutly another dog meandered aiong that way and took occasion to smell of the carcussof a hog that was hung outside the shop, but the moment his nose touched ‘the carcass he shot backward as if sent that y by the toe of a boot. He recovered himself quickly and ran away yelping vigorously. A third dog camé along. smelled of the carcass, and went heels overhead across the walk into the gut- ter, where he quivered a moment, then sprang to his feet, and ran away howl- ing. Quite a crowd of people was soon attracted by the strange g stics of the passing dog, but all were content to stand quictly by and be amused at the way the canines were getting fooled on the hog carcass. Nobody un- derstood what was the matter, and all supersti willingness that the dogs should do all the investigating. The proprictor aud employes of the shop soon joined tho spectators and grinned with satisfaction as one and another well known liver-colored houuad, brindle pup and yellow eur came along to steal his accustomed nip at some carcass or other only to get dis- gracetully left and sentaway very much hurt. G The curiosity of all the dogs around that saw the odd capers of their fellow curs was also aroused, and very soon there was almost a mad rush among them to see what was the matier. One dogr was ahead of another, aud the hind dog beeame joalous of the one ahead and rushed with all his might between i ass, took firsta snap with a growl at the outside ¢anine, and then a snap without a growl at the car- cas: Result: Two astonishrd dogs ent sailing out into the street. A ca- nine which witnessed the performances then concluding that the reass was poor meat, thought he would try a dressed turkey hanging near. He was a cautious dog, and sniffed at the turkey at long range. Another dog thought he was a cowurd and proposed to make him ashamed of himself; so the brave dog took first a sneaking look at the people about to estimate his chances of getting kicked, and then opening his mouth wide enough to invetope half of the bird, made a bold rush for it, Ior a moment there was a limp and quiver- ing dog hanging to the turkey, then the cur suddenly came to, and his body began flying about the turkey like a chicken’s during the process of neck wringing, while he yelled as if mad, A butch anding by got excited at the way the dog hung to the turkey, and forgetting all about the previous scenes, rushed in headlong to save the bird. The butcher went to grass witha dull thud, and then it began to dawn upon the people what was the matter. An investigation disclosed the fact that an arc wire was touching the ivon posts upon which the carcass of the turkey hung, so that the meats were all heav- ily charged with electricity, A half hour luter an electrician remedied the difficulty, but the butchers suy they were hulf sorry it was done until a cer: tain dog or two they have been laying for got a chance to investigate the meats, et Not His Lookont.
