They Pass Resolutions Honoring Their +O1d Commander—Another Mur- der Trial-A Bad Smashup —1The Boartz Verdict, TDoes Council Bluffs want a wire nail fac- tory! How bad does it want onel These arc queries which citizens will bo given a pract ¢ of answering this week, A proposition is made by A. J. Sweeney & Son of Wheelng, W. Va., representatives of /hich house are now in the city. The house is an old one, having been established in 1836 and it is represented as one of solidity enough to carry through the project proposed. The plan is about as follows * Sweeney & Son are to purchase a tract of ground, the site chosen being a part of Wal- nut Park, running down to the railway tracks, near which the factory is tobe built. This land is to be platted as Wire Nail Mill subdivision, and lots are to be sold at an average of $25 a lot. Toinsure the success of the enterprise there must be 240 of these lots sold, This is in lieu of the usual bonus ked s0 often in behalf of enter- prises which are sought to be thus secured. Tnstead of soliciting donations outand out, citizens will be solicited to buy these lots, 1t is claimed that with the estab- lishment of the will, and the building of homes near by for employes, the value of lots will speedily advance, so that the investment will beeome a good one, aside from the gen. eral advancement of the interests of the city Sweeney & Son agree to commenco i ion of their mill as soon as said lots are il to complete the same as soon as ble, The building must be of brick and , with metal roof, 200 feet in length by S0 feet in width, and to'be equipped with not less than fifty of their latest improved wire nail machines, and all other nec chinery and outiit at acost of not less than £100,000. They further agree to fully operate the plant for a period of five years, aud to cniploy In the mill from seventy-five to one hundred and forty persons. Those who subscribe for and purchase the lots agreo to pay one-fourth when the founda- tion shall be completed; one-fourth cash, or note bearing 8 per cent, fnterest six months from time said mill building is completed, and balance in cash or notes of equal amounts, payablo twelve, cighteen and twenty-four_months, bearing 7 per cent in- t from date when said nail mill plant shall have been fully completed and in opera- tion. The board of trade has been investigating the matter and has appointed the following committee of representative men to solicit for thesaleof thelots: George Metcalf, W, A. Moore, Dr. C. H. Judd, A. B. Walker, Judge Metied, H. H. Van Brunt, S. P. MacConnell, W. Hart, George F. Wright, George H. Champ, £. L. Shugart, Theso gentlemen will begin their labors to- mortow, and from assurances given them the | surprise, and a great strugelo followed . outlook is very favorable. The arranging of detals of contracts will probably be placed in the hands of trustecs to protect the interests of all parties, and to | ke the subsceribers douoly sure that in the desired help to the entor- prise the returns fully come up to the e a s, It beer . Wright, E. L. Shugart and H. Van Brunt are made such trustees and would consent to serve, the interests of all parties would be secured and protected. The enterpise is a large one, and the plan proposed for securing it is similar to that being followed by eastern cities in such matters. Bargains in Shoes.

Tncampment No. 8, Union Veteran Legion, will hold their annual banquet on Monday evening next at Grand Army hall. This is an wstitution peculiar to that organization. At the time of its formation in this city it was agreed and established that the surviving members should assembie once each year at a banquet board, and at each spread @ vacant chi appropriately draped should oceupy a place as a remindar to the living of those who in life were their comrades, and who in death are deserving of their remembrance. The time selected for this observance is October 19, and the reason why this date was deter- mined upon was because it was the anniver- sary of General Sheridan’s historical ride froin Winchester to Cedar Creek and the memorable victory which he wrested from the jaws of defeat on that day. The general was a member of encampment No. 8, and_his was the fist vacant chair to appear’at their annual banquet and fraternal feast. This year there are three, comrades Van Order and Joseph Lyman having been called to answer the final summons since the death of Sheridan, ‘This banquet is peculiar alone to the encampment and no one, not a member, can participate iniit. It was' not instituted’ for pleasure but to draw the membersnip into the closest fraterual relation possible, and to keep the memory of the comrades dead in the living vemembranee of the comrades sur- viving. As time rolls on and the vacant chairs increase, the solemnity of the occasion will be more and more marked, and when the day arrives when the last man sits dow with the vacant chuirs of his comrades for his oniy companions, it will be the most solemn moment of his 1ife Moneyat reduced rates loaned on_chatte and real estate security by E.

Another murder trial began in the district court yesterday, while the jury in the preced- ing case was still closeted endeavoring to reach a verdict. The present trial is that of Peter Hensen, charged with murder in the second degree, having killed one Walter Mad- sen at a dance in Smith's hall a year ago last May. There was some trouble with a crowd of roughs, who sought to force admittance to the dance, and afterwards Hansen, while a short distance from the hall, having been out in search of an officer, was assaulted, and pulling bis revolver fired, The ball hit Mad- sen, killng him. Most of the day was spent in securing a jury. It was expected that the regular panel would soon be exhausted and to provide aguinst delay the judge had some days ago ordered a special venire issued. Sheriff O'Neill as usual in such cases was instracted to gatherup such jurymen as he deemad best, the names not being stated in the special venire. Judge Ayleswortn, one of the attorneys, raised an objection to having any of these special jurymen called, on account of the fact that they not drawn out of A box as i3 customary with the regular panel. "The objection did not hold. Au amusing little incident occurred in re- gard to the prisoner, Hensen.

A meeting of prominent citizens, both of Trish and American parentage, was held in the parlor of the Grand Pacific hotel, at which the coMmg of the Trish leaders and the best method of assisting them in the fulfillment of their mission were discussed. For some time a small committee of Trish- Americans has been preparing the way for theadvent of the wmmbassadors of charity It was necessary in selecting the men who should be foremost in the reception of these foreign gentlemen to avoid any con flict belween the factions into which the ish in Chicago have split. The committee, therefore, sought out & number of wentlemen who could not be suspected of afiliation with either side and have seiected a committeo of promivent eitizens, am whomn are the ed- itors of the principal daily papers. 1t is the intention to collectand transmit the funds needed divectly and at onee to Mr. Parnell, A dispatel” from France tnis morning quoted Dillonand 0'Brien s having said that they relied forsuceess in this country on the assistance of Archbishops Fechan of Chicago and Ireland of St Paul.

Residents in a certain scaport town of Lincoln county remember a civeumstance connected with the erection of its oldest church, says the Lewiston (Me. ) Jou There is a deal of superstition to these ledges as the ill-smelling rock- weed, The townspeople were very poor when the old church was buiit. The ac- tual amount of money given towavd it was very smull indeed, Hardly u pe in town but contributed some mate however. In the novthern part, close by acove whose barks were mantled with beautiful moss, after the first few feet of cliff, and crowned with sturdy trees and straight, stalwart pines, lived a man noted for other things than generosity. The soliciting commiitee put off asking for his contribution until others had poured 1n and the church was a sure thing. Then they waited upon him and said: “*Mr. Blank, we want that monster pine of yours for your contribution to the church, Tt will make an excellent silly will you giveit for your part?’ “Gi my best pine tree—give any of my pines No, sir. Not one of them shall come down.” Nothing could shake his dete mination. In less thana week avose one of the heaviest storms ever known on that coust. And not one of those proud- est pines in the man’s forest was | and the tallest pine, the one wanted for asill, was viven from top to bottom by the thunderbolt R His Foresight WasBelated, “The most remarkable case of hind- sight I ever came across,” said an old railroad superintendent to a veporter for the Philadelphia Press, “occurrved on my division several years ago, A young man named Brown, was operator’ at a way station about ten miies this side of lliance. He was a good boy all over; didn’t drink, didn't fool with the gi and 1 had my eye on him for promotion. But one winier's night, after ordering u freight train to come west, he let No. 10, pussenger express, go east. How he made the blunder he never explained. On a single tra road nothing und heaven could prevent a wreck, and Brown realizedj that before the hind lights of the passenger train were out of sight. Most men would lost their heads at the thought, but Bidn't, He vemained at his instrument and tele- graphed me as follc “Sond wreck- ing train at once; trains 10 and 37 in col- lision.” ‘I went out with the wreeking train atonce, picked up Brown on the way and found a bad smash-un sure enough though the engineers of both trains had sighted each other in time to averta frightful catastroy Of course, [ had to discharge Brown; hut if his foresight had been equal to his hind-sight what a | splendid railronder ho would have made.” - - Don't Bother Him, When Sam Jones was presching in a western town some time ago he was an- noyed by o young man who was whisper- ing to Lis givl, says the Philadelphia Press, Finally the preacher could stand the interruption no longer, so he looked straight at the oulpeit, and said: I will puuse until the young man in the back of the room gets through talking,” The silence was intense, and every o was on the young fellow, who was still whispering'to his girl. Mv. Jones re- | peated his rem and this time the young man heard him, Not an instant did he hesitate. Looking squarely at the preacher, he said: “Go ht ahead me, ! PAUSED ON THE VERY BRINK.

He boing supposed 1o be dead, his body was identified at the morgue by his wife. A funeral folloved and it is positively asserted that he was buried in Calyvary cemetory. But,tothe amazement of wll who knew him, he was afterward scen walking about as if nothe ingz in particular had happened to - him, Hisown version of the affair is that he was really buried, that his bdy was afterward takenup and conveyed to dissceting room, and that the fiest inci- slon in hisabdomen caused the blood to flow, his conscionsness, whichhad only been suspended, returned to him, About this there is a good deal of mystory and attempts have been made to hush 1t up, but it is notan improbable one, for body snatehing in the interests of sur- geons is not rare in the west.
