A Switchman Injured by a Fall From a Train A New Levee Combis nation—Minor Mention and Persona The Model Closed. The list of business failures, which has been lengthéning atsuch an alarming rate in this city, was increased yestorday afternoon at 7 o'clock when Sherift Meill, accompanied by his deputy, Jack Cusick, entered the Model clothing house, located at the corner of Broulway and Scott street, and de- manded the kegs from the proprietor of the establishment, Mr. L. H. Mossler. He prefaced his demand by show- ing two writs of attachment, which had been issued in the district court, one by Bradt, Shipman & Co. for #13.74 and the other by Frankenthal, Frendentbal & Co. for #1, 5. Both of the’ attaching creditors a ow York firms. The keys were delivered into the hands of the shoriff ana the place was closed up, When questioned about the affair Mr. Mossler was very much excited. “Itis all a mistake,” said he. **We have been trying for several weeks to gét some money, but we couldn’t do it, and jts all a mistake, ana that's all [ know abont it Notwithstanding Mr. Mossler's vehement protestations some of his friends are unkind enough to hint that the move was not alto- gether unex pected on bis part. Mr. Mossler had no interest in the stock of fixtu y Al though he has toall appearances been the lord high executioner of the concern. He failed in the siame wl?‘ three or four years ago, and dia not start In again for about teen months. When at last he resumed s the property was all in the name of her, who lives in Missouri. A quiet busil his b rumor got afloat to the effect that it v-as the intention of Mr. Mossler to go ont of the husiness and take his stuff to Missouri, and it was this rumor that led to the attachment, The grounds, as alleged in the writ of attach- ment, were the non-residence of the owner and the fact that the proprietor was about to take the goods out of "the state for the pur- pose of defrauding the creditors. When the sheriff took possession the money drawer was empty, a fact which gave color to the rumor that something uncommon had been about to take place, But whatever that something was, 1t failed to materialize.- Mr. Mossler stated toa B reporter last eveningthat the firm owed the money claimed by the “attaching creditors. but that it was not yet due, and he had not the slightest idea wiy he was closed up. He also_stated that he had telephoned his brother, who owns the stock, for instructions. aoos g Chaul Moo Grau at Davis’ drug store.

The trade supplied by Duquette & Co. a New Levee Complication, For the past few months the levee problem has been of sufficient importance to attracy general attention in Council Bluffs, and the question of whether it was advisable to have theold levee widened and strengthened or to invest $25,000 or §30,000 1n a new bank has been thoroughly discussed in all directions. But a new phase of the problem has been presented to the public within the past twenty-four hours that completely over- shadows all other features. It is important and imperatively demands solution, When the old levee was built three years 0go the city council passed a wvesolution di- recting the assessment of a 2 mill tax to pay for the work and certified it up to the county auditoras a special tax upon property bene- fitted by the protection the bank afforded. The tax was levied upon the consent of the property owners and the agreement of the majority of them to waive any aud all ques- tions as to its legality. It was in fact guar- unteed largely by T. J. Evans, George I, Wright and other property owners who had large interests to be protected. It now transpires that the tax levy was entirely too small to cover the costs of the work. It has about ail been collected, last year's collections only amounting to about $250, and the whole amount realized was only about $,500. Warrants for nearly double this sum were issued against this fund, and at the present time there is due and unpaid something over $2,100 worth of these warrants, and interest for three years, which brings the entire amount up to nearly §,500. The quandary the council finds itself in now 1s how to provide for the payment of these warrants, Since there has been so much squabbling over the matter and so many injunctions threatencd it is very likely that tho property owners, or many of them at least, will resist, uny attempt to tax them further for the pay- ment of thisold debt. It is an ugly problem which e way it is looked at and will give the aldermen” a good deal of concern before an a f escape is discovered. It is intimated that the first thing that will be inquired into is the guarantee of tho gen- tlemen named, and if thoy will agree to make good their promiscs at this Jate day it will relieve the aldermen of a zood deal of uneasi- ness. If they refuse to do this, which is not avall improbable, in view of the fact that they have understood that the debt has been entirely liquidated, the council will be com- pelled to make a now special levy upon o property. When this is done it 15 not at all improbable that some injunctions will be asked for. The discovery that, these warrants were unpaid was not mado until yesterday when City Treasurer Kinnehan asked Chairman Wood of the finance committee what should be done with the un paid warrants, imparting the information at the same vime that tho special tax had been exhausted and $1,100 worth of warrants were still outstanding in the hands of local capitalists who did not know the last penny had been paid out of the fund provided. There is no question about the warrants being collectacle, but the man- ner of providing the fund is a Serious obstacle iu the way, The Council Bluffs Paint and 0il Co. has ovened up under supervision of assigneo, Cash patronage solicited, Specul prices on ladies and _gents under- wear this Week ot the Boston Store, Council Bluffs, A Jail Brenker Caught. W. H. Robb is the name of a young man who was wrested yesterday morning by Oficer Beswick, Although barely out of his teens, he has achicved a reputation for gon- eral toughuess which mightewell be envied by many who have been in the business much lorger. He wasa resident of this city for several years past until last summer, and was a well known figure around the gambling houses and olhflr'pim es of ques- tionuble repute. After he left he drifted about until he finally turned up at Lincoln Neb., and began operitions again, 1t was not long before he got iuto trouble there and found himself in the county jail on a charge of burglary, He stayed iheroquietly for a time, but one " morning when the jailer wolke up he found his bird had flown. W here he had gone was for a time a mystery, but he was at last triwced " to Havelock, a small place near Liucoln, and was foliowed by the chief of police and an ofticer. The officers tied thewr borse and searched for their man, but the only trace they could find of him was when they returned for their horseand learned that Robb had been there and had taken him away in their absence, Kuowing that Council Bluffs was Robb's home, the Lincoln authorities surmised that he might come here next, and they mnoti- fied Chief Cary of his escape and of- fered a reward for his recovery. The Blufts l|h|l|m had & fow scores of their own to settle with Robb, he having been im- plicated in @ robbery here several months ugo, aud they were very willing to be on the lookout. Officer Beswick got on his track and finally overhauled him yesterday morn- ing at Scheftier's saloon on Lower Broad wi After an affectionate greeting had been e changed betweeu the captive and his old ac l aintance, the city marshal, he wi taken ore Justice Patton and committed to the ounty jail, where he will remain until the incoln authorities come after bim The robbery with which Robb was con- | neeted in this and for which the poll have ever since been on the lookout for him, took place Inst summer in a Liouse of ill-fame Twostrangers came to the Bluffs and pro ceeaod to paint the town a_glorious red, They visity all the dives in the city, and while in one of them a fight took place in which Robb and #140 of the strangers' money mysteriously disappeared together.

Stewart and Wolcott being vhe only republi- cans voting ave. Mr. Pasco then concluded his speech. Mr. Hampton spoke aguinst the bill and Mr. Dixon in its favor. Mr. Reagan spoke against the bill and con- cluded by declaring, with strong feeling, that dear as lifo was to him he would, as God was his juage, if he could save the Amer- ican people from the pending measure by giviig up his life, surrender it as frecly ashe ever performed any act in his life. At the close of Mr. Reagan's speech & mo- tion was made by Mr. Hoar to lay Mr. But- ler's amendment (that supervisors, canvass- ers and all elections officers shall be regarded as ministerial and not judicial officers) on the table, and it was agreed - yeas 30, nays %. The umendmeut offered by Mr. Faulkner, proposinga substitute for section 14 and to provide for the appointment by the court of a board of three persous in each congressional district to be known as the United States board of canvassers, was takeu up. Mr. I"aulkner adyocated thd amendment and condemned the action of the republi- can senators in stifing discussion by mov- ing to lay the amendment on the table. In the course of a colloquy between Messrs. Faulkner, Gray and Spooner, the latter styled, as an illustration of what the bill meant, that if he had a_boil on the back of his neck he would not think it necessary to place a poultice over his whole back, The illustration was taken advantage of by Mr. Faulkner, who saw in it an admission that the bill was a partisan and sectional 2 to be put. in force only in one part of the countr, 1a. m.—Faulkner is still abdressing the senate aud seems good for several hours, and it is pretty evident that theobject on the democratic side is to occupy time. There are not more than a dozen sciators on each side of the chamber, but there are large reserves in the cloak rooms ready to meet any phase of the question that may present itself.” The galleries are now nearly empty, but the pros- pect is that the session “will coutin e through the watclies of the night and perhaps all day tomorrow. Mr. Pasco a short time ago directed the at- tention of the chair to the absence of a quo- rum, and as the call is being made senators come into the chamber. and prove that there are more present thau is needed to constitute a guorum, Mr. Faulkner continued speaking until 1:20, when the absence of a quorum was brought to the attention of the chair by Mr. Sanders. A call of the roll showed only thirty-six senators present, only five of that number being democrats, A motion wus made by M to compel the attendance of sentees, but Mr. Harris made the point of order that the first motion under the rules was to direct the sergeant- at-arms torequest the attendance of absent, senators, The presiding officer (Washburn) sus- tained the point’ of order, and Mr. Hoar changed tho motion accordingly. The mo- tion was agreed to and a st of the absentees was furnished to the sergeant-at-arms. only democrats prescut were Messrs. Cock- rill, Faulkner, Gorman, Harris and Pasco, Before the list had been handed to the sergeant-at-arms five moro senators, all re- publicans, had answered, making the whole number present 41, or four less than a quo- rum. Up to 2 o'clock no senator presented himself in compliance with tho request and it looked as if a quorum mightnot besecured. House.
