Physicians yesterday could give Mr, Mrs, Frank Cobaly but little encouragement that their bright little daughter ana only ehild could recover from a mahgnant attack of diphtheria, oral physicians were in consultation yesterday over the case. Last flg‘ t the little sufferer was reported slightly ter. Mr. Hardin, supers of the poor, made a hot chase the other evening after his cow,and in hi te did not notice u wire clothes line which was stretehed across the yard., It caught him under the chin, throwing him with great foree backwards upon the ground, and knocking him insensible.

The second case was that of an_infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Hansen, at 1084 South Tenth streot, This is the second case reported from the same place. A wreck occurred on the Wabash near Minneols yesterday morning, which resulted . in the destruction of several cars of coal and smashing of two or three box cars The accident was occasioned by the breaking of one of the boxings on the trucks, letting the axle of the fall down upon the tile The iy left the track and the coal cars were piled up in amass on top of it. The track was also torn up for a considerable distance, None of the train crew were hurt, but trafic was de- layed for several hours, The gambling cases in which J, and C. A. Henry and John Dunn al efendants have been continued for two weel Yester- day the complaining witness, B, F. Harving- ton, was arcested upon the same charge upon a warrant sworn out of Justice Barnett's court by Dunn. Dunn and his co-defendants say that they were not running o gambling house, but had got into a friendly game with Harrington, and that Harrington imagined that he could p lay a good enough game 10 win a little money, and that it cost him several dollars to learn differently, He then had them arrested for revenge. Now they have had him arrvested for the same reason. Dr. McManigal, the Omaha physician whose tools were 'stolen by young Payton, was in the city again yesterday. He was hurriedly summoned by @ telephono message from some person on this side stating that young Payton was about to be discharged, and if he wanted to hold him he would have to be over here within an hour, He wantea Payton held very oadly, and he drove his horse at a dangerous rate of speed and reached the police station within the pre- seribed hour, only to find that no one there or at the marshal's office had tele- ploned: to bim, He was considerably more worried and mystified when he visited the coun jail and found that Payton was not there, and returned to the police station again and learned that no one there knew where he was or what had become of him. The doctor used some pretty strong language when he visited the county ail a second time and was told that Payton had been taken out by an officer, presumably to have his trial. He flew back to the cen- tral station again and was met by Captain Martin and informed that Payton had been yeturned to the county jail. He had been taken before Justice Bamett, for prelimihary heavingon the charge of obtaining money upon false protenses in n'.nnn!.w}linx to dispose of property not his own. Bamet issued the ‘warrant for his arrest, and he was arrvested in the county jail, whero he was simply being held as a fugitive from justice. He was re- manded to the jail ona wittimus issued by the justice to await his hearing next Tues- day. This action will ent his extradition at the present time, and Dr. McManigal will not be able to get him across the river until after the Towa law has vented its 7engeance upon bim.

THE CITY PLUNGED IN SORROW Surronnaed by His Family He Peace- fally Breathes His Last -Church Notices—Minor Mention and Personal, Hon. W. . Sapp died at 2 :45 yestorday af- ternoon. Death came without a shock. The eyes closed peacefully as if a natural sleep had overcame him. No struggle marked the end, and the watchers who had been beside him so patiently and had so tenderly cared for him s he was stricken with paralysi a month ago, scarcely kuew when the end came. Yesterday morning he awoke from a long sleep and roused up enough to faintly recoz- nize his friend and family, but he soon lapsed into a semi-unce ous sta which he remained during the remainder of the Between 12 and 2 o'clock ther Is when it was thought he ognized those around him, It was eviaent from early morning thav he was dying, and his physicians were with him almost stantly. At 2 o'clock his friends were noti- fled that the end was near at hand, and they assembled around the bed and watched the failing puise gradually grow weaker until it finally ccased, Death came so peacefully that they did not know that all was over until the physician who was holding the dying man’s wrist rose from the bed and so announced that he was dead. The public aunouacement of his death was made during the busiest period of the day, butit created a profound sensation. The hundreds of old citizens and business men who have known and admived Colonel Sapp for years sed in the midst of their busi- ness to express their sorrow and send mes- ages of sympathy to the relatives. The news caused general sorrow throughout the cit and was a fair indication of the high esteem in which he was held by those who knew him long and intimate Particularly strong munifestations of sorrow came from the members of the bar, None of the conrts were in session, and the attorneys congregated in their ofices and dis- cussed his character, Death always smoothes out the corrugations and softens the hard asperities of men’s characters, and there are seldom any hard words spoken of the dead, but only Wwhen men hay 1ina manner to meet the whole approbation of their feie low men_will such universal words of re- spect and sorrow be spoken as those that fell from the lips of Colonel Sapp’s associates and acquaintances yesterday afternoon as they discussed his life and work, Few men in the city were known better than he, and the sorrow that was so universally felt when his death was announced r down into the ‘humbler strata of s where his generous unostentatious ch has sought and velieved suffering for ved Few men have extended move gener and practical help to young men who v just starting in life than Colonel Sapp, and many of the most prominent members of the Dar in the city today received their first start and most constiut and practical encourage- ment in their profession from him. A num- berof the most prominent and successful younger members of the bar either studied faw with him or were taken into his office after they were admitted and assisted until they had carned a sclt-sustaining position among their fellow: Many of them admit that they owe much of their success in_their profession and happiness in life to his kindly assistance and advice. While discussing his character yestercay several of the attorneys gazed at imaginavy objects on the walls of their ofices though eyes that glistened with tears of genuine sorrow. Colonel Sapp was one of the pioneers of Council Bluffs and western Iowa. He was born at Danville, Knox county, Obio, in the year 1524, His father died when he was ten years of age, but he was given an academic education at the Martinsburg academy in b native county, Hestudied law with Hon, Columbus DeLano, and an uncl>, W.

His first polit- ical venture was a race for prosecuting attor- ney in Knox county, Ohio, in 1850, With 800 majority against him, he came within thir. teen votes of election. He was elected to this place in 1864 and again in 1856, December that year he married Mary C. Brown and in 1560 “with his family removed to Omaha. Here a year later he was appointed adjutant gencral, and in the fall of that year he was chosen a member of the territorial legislative council from Douglas county. He entered the union army in 1562, serving until his regi- ment was mustered out of service, In 1564 he removed to this city, where he has s resided. A year after taking up his resids here he was ed a member of the legisla- ture. He served with distinction, securing the location of the deaf and dumb institute for this cif Duri ieneral Grant's first term as president Colonel Sapp served as United States district attorney He was a member of the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth congresses, aud in 1834 was a mefaber of the republican electoral college, He was one of the founders of the Council Biufts insurance company, and at the time of his death was heavily interested in it and held the position of president, As a lawyer he stood high, and at his death was the senior member of the firm of Sapp & Susey. Mv. Sapp was a public spirited citi- zen and took great intevest in the welfare and growth of Council Bluffs. He owned one of the finest rarms in the country, As a lawyer he was the enized head of the Pottawat- tamie bar. He stood high in the couucils of his colleagues, and his opinion was given respect and consideration Dby all, A a citizen he will be missed. Ho was alway ready to serve in the defense of Council Bluffs, He was identified with many of the public spirited moves made, and when called upon to assist he was ever ready with his personal influence and, if necessary, his pri- vate capital, He was a liberal contribntor to St. Paul's chur and was one of the owners of the driving park.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs, W. J. Hancock, who keeps @ secondhand store on Broadway, was waited upon by & negro who sail he wanted to sell some stoves and furniture. He gave the street and number where his goods could be found, and said he was very anxious to dispose of them, as he and his wife had quarreled and separated. While the negro was talking a customer was in the store mak- ing & purchase, and paid the money for it, amounting to $1.50, on the counter, The cus- tomer went out and the woman picked up the money but laid it down again for an instant and went to the back part of the store, ask- ing the negro to follow her to show her the kind of a stove be wanted tosell. She sup- posed he was following her until she turned and saw him disappear out of the door. Running forward’ she found he had suatched the mouey from the counter and rau, There was no officer in sight, but she went at once to the marshal's ofice and told Ueputy Fowler what had occurred. From her des- cription he recognized a notorious negro named George Criss, a brother of Bill, who has also scen o good deal of service behind the bars, A warrant was obtained and in just thirty-five minutes from the time Mrs. Hancock came fnto the station the darkey was under arrest.

Make it cor- od of peace would prevail for and congress would soon disband the army.

He wants to do his duty and if he fails he wauts to be brought ap in it. Frame your rules and regulations and hold every officer and soldier to a strict accountability for duty and when either fails vid the service of nim. This wduld be more inccord with the required discipline of war for which we ought now to be training both officors and soldiers.” Cases in Summary Courts. Regarding the bringing of cases to trial be- fore summary courts, which may be done un- der the law recently passed, General Brook has issued orders to post commanders to the effect that thoy must be guided by the law and regulations pertaining to garrison courts- martial.

James Fisk of Council Bluffs, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO MEN. Douglas Could Adapt Himself to Any Soclety While Lincoln Was Al- ways the Sa tries Into Politics, A form familiar to Council Bluffs oyes is that of a little old man, whose black and rather shiny clothing and ancient silk tile indicate somewhat of a professionat type of living, and bespeak more former than pres ent prosperity. He walks along peeuliar, mincing step, and his cccentric of movement, rather than anything impr sive in manuer and micn, atteact attention to him. Whois that! It is the natural Gues. tion of a stranger when ho secs the little old man glide along the strect. Tt is Rev. James Fisk, attorney and counscllor at law. De- spite the wear and weight of nearly four scoro years the old gentleman has quite o youtuful vieor of both mind and body. Hehas a history, and his reminis- cences cover a variety of experiences, “Yes,” he says, “I've been engaged in a good many kinds of business. I have been a brick- maker, have run a threshing machine, boen a farmer, a panter, a school teacher, a minis- ter, an attorney, a surveyor, a judge, a mem- ber of the legislature, was mayor“of Austin, Tex., was district attorney at New Orleans, asoldier and served in the Mexican war. As a preacher I have always been a Metho- dist, but T have served as the pastor of two Congregational churches, one Presbyterian, and for a year in Council Bluffs, as you know, 1 was pastor of the United Brethren church. You sce, I don’t preach about doc- trines, but the pure bible teachings.” Awmong the interesting reminiscences which cropped out in a chat with this intelligent old gentleman was one concerning his early ac- quaintance with Lincoln anda Douglas. 1 knew them both. 1 served two sessions in the Illinois legislature with Abraham Lin- coln. 1 was elected in 1538 from Montgome county. Lincolu was elected from the adjoin- ing county, Saugamon, I have often laughed about Lincolu’s remark that I was four times us smart as he, for it fook four men to repro- sent, Sangamon county, and I was the only one from Montgomery county. Lincaln was the most ung awkward young man 1 e saw. he first ran for the legislatere, it was treated o good deal as a great joke, Everybody laughed at him, and many supported him just us a jokeon the fellow who was running against him. and who was considered about the brightest man in_that part of the country. It soon became evident that it was more than a joke. Lin- coln was elected by a large majority, and when he began to show himself by his specches they all quit their smiling, and went to admiring.” There was a_great difference betw Douelas and Liucoln, Douglas could adapt himself to any society that he happened to be in. When'he was in a crowd of the boys, having a good time in some saloon he was one of them, and he could step right from there into the finest parlorin the land, and chat as gracefully aud charmingly with the ladies as though he had never heard a rough word in his whole life, Lincoln could not do that. He was jif$t the same everywhere, I knéw Douglas better than 1did Lincoln, for T studied law with Douglas. That was in about '36 1 think. Douglas was himself a boy, almost. He had been just admitted to ice. That was at Jacksonville, Illinois, 1 came to Jacksonville 1 had letters to onnell, who was the leadiag attorney there, 1 was a stranger to all of them, and I stepped into the court house, where some cases were being heard, and thought T would look over the attorneys and :e which impressed me the most favorably, 1 wanted to study law with some of them. While I was watching them a slim young man, with very easy manners, walked inside the bar, and took a seat. 1 ‘asked who he was, and was told that his name was Doug- las.' His looks so impressed me, and there was something so attractive about him that [ made up my mind right away that he the one I wanted to study with. 1 did not present my letter to MeConnell, but b _once made the acquaintance of Douglas and en- tered his office as_a student. Douglas was not only young, but he was poor. He did not own even a law book. “ie had no office, either, that is he had none of his own. ‘The judge of the probate court gave young Iouglas permission to use his office in the court house, and McConuell loaned him the books that he needed. This was the office and these the books that I gained the privilege of using, und thus I studied law with Douglas, “Oue day Douglas said to me: *Fisk, if I had a horse and u_little money T would ride over to Vandalia and try to gét elected dis- tricvattorney.’” Vandalia was then the cap tal}y where the legislature met, and it then in session, The district attorneps were elected by slature, and so he thought he might as well try for the position in his district, but he had io_momey or horse_for the trip. Ihadan old white horse which wasn't of much account, but I told Doug] he could have the use of that and welcome, and I also loaned him §8, which was all the money I had. He took it gratefully, and that afternoon or evening started for Vandalia on the back of the old white horse.

The next morning he rode into Van- aalia, and the next day the election took place. Douglas was_elocted district attor- ney, although J. J. Hardin, the most popular ma in the district, ran against him, “That_was the first office Douglas ever held. From that time on he advanced rap- idly. I remember when he run against Stew- art for congress. The district had grown wonderfully in_population since the appor- tionment and districting, so that when the clection took place each of the candidates had over cighteen thousand votes. Stewart beat Douglas by only twelve votes. Douglas told me that ho was certain that he could win if he could contest the clection, but said he, *Whatam Ito dof I haven't ‘any money to go to Washington with and to fight the case. So he let it drop. I never saw Douglas after that. 1 drifted off to the south. and while I watched b brilliant career with much intevest I ne had the pleasure of meeting him agai I knew him he was v slight and slis didn't weigh over 115 pounds. 1 don't sup- pose I would have known him if I had secn him when in later vears hie had changed so, T never met Lincoln after I left Illinols until 1864, when 1'saw him in Washington, I was surprised, for he recognized me at once, In some way our talk brought up somothing about the west, and lowa was mentioned, Lincoln remarked that it brought to his mind what John A. Marshall, the eminent Kentucky jurist, had told him a little before. Marshall fold Lincoln he had a son who had drifted west, and had located in Council Blufis. The boy had written back 1o his father that ho was in need of help, and his father had just responded, accompanying the remittance with the remavk that he had understood that Council Bluffs was one of the most promising places in which an attor- could settle, for the promise was sure that hie would succeed in starving to death. 1 dudn’t think then that I would ever settle pyself inCouncll Blufls, but sinco 1 have Lincoln’s remark has often come to me, I have watched the lawyers, and with a few exceptions I have found abundant proof that Marshall was at least more than half right.” Al AL Ill(!‘)\ ITIES, Deputy United States Marshal Mercer came in last night from Valentine with Louis Brendort, who was arrested forseiling liquor to the Indians, Deputy Sheriff Aunderson of Wyoming an-«l through Omaha last night with Johu | urton and W.
