Yesterday his attorneys, Messrs, Lindt and Sweet, hap- pened to think of him, and on looking over the court records, found that o such action bhad been taken in his case, but that he had been sent up on a thirty days' sentence for The long 1mprisonment o n.error in the entering up of the r 0 tears were stied over the uff as Young has not a very savo reputation, and it is said that the only thing that prevented his bemg convieted of high- way robbery was a certain legal complication that made it advisable to change the charge from highway robbery to larceny. .

Chief of Police Carey has been out of the city for several days, and his absence hus caused a good deal of anxicty to the report- crs, which was not relieved by any of the studiously non-committal answers of the cap- tains and sergeants left behind to look after the city’s welfare. The riddle was solved yesterday by the announcement thata tele- gram had been received from the chief, dated jan Antonfo, Tex., conveying the intelli- gence that he was suffering the rigors of wintry clime, but enjoying the sat- tion of having in his custod person of a much wanted man.

Very little trouble has been had with even the most fractious, while, as a rule, they been no hurder to take care of than so many saue persons, There are now twenty-four patients in the nospital, of whom twelve are men, These have quarters on the fiest floor. A long cor- ridor runs along the building, with the bed opening off from each side. When a ; reporter called yesterday the pationts wore taking their after-dinner stroll back and forth through the corridor.

Ellis, the architect, feels that an in- Justice is done him by the comments of the Broadway Methodist church folks concerning his relations with the preparation of plans for their new structure. He refers to tho contractors and others conversant with the details in proof of the fact that the work was satisfactory so far as it progressed under his management, The church folks desired to employ Cooke as architect, as Cooke had sub scribed 8500 to the enterprise, and 1t would be an accommodation to both'the subscriber and the church to have the subseription paid for in architectural services. Hence the change was made, and not because of any i tion with Mr. ELlis, Mr. Ellis says d to intimate that there is any collusion botween himself and Mr. Cooke. Since they dissolyed partnership he has had no relations with him, and in fact, until sundry differences are settled between them there is no possibility of any understanding between them. Mr. Ellis suys the plans provided by him have bheen subjected to such changes and alterations as to justify him in demanding | the orginals, as the plans belong to tho | church only for the purpose of guidance in | ereoting this building, and that in view of all | the circumstances he believes he ought to have his plans returned to his possession Too much California canned goods on hand must be sold.

A Crazy Ca'lers Lewis Smith and A. F. Clatterbuck came into the city early yesterday morning, bring- ing with them a man who was suffering from 8 severe attack of something, but whether it was insanity or delirium tremens, it was hard to tell. Smith, who lives a few miles east of the city, was awakened dur- ing the night by the sound of some one trying to get in at the kitchen door. He at once went down stairs and asked who was there, Recelving no reply he pulled a gun and threatened to blow him full of buckshot 1f he didn't leave. The stranger couldn't sce the gun through the door, but something seemed to tell him he'd better go, for he went. When daylight came Smith went for Clat- terbuck, his neighbor, and together they went to hunt the intruder. He wus found mnear Parks’ mill, on the IRock Island track making u bee line for the Bluff: After a decidea resistance, which rendered the application of Smith’s fist nec- cssary, the stranger was quicted and was finally landed in the county jail. It was at first thoughu that he was insane, and an information charging him_with in- sanity was filed against him, Later on, however, Sheriff O'Neill came to the con- clusion that the man had drank too much and had been merely *‘seeing snakes.” ‘The best French cook in western fowa is at the Hotel Gordon, Council Bluffs. ——— Best heavy goods, 258 per cent off, cash.

Roye, Jan, 27,—The vatican has been ad- vised that the Italian go¥érument is occupy- ing itself diplomatically regarding a successor to Pope Leo in order to prevent the election of a pope unfavorable to official Italy and favorable to France. Premier Crispl will endeavor to demonstrate to the triple alliance that in view of the hostile spirit which exists in high quarters it is to the interest of the allied cabinets to prepare for the coming conclav Kvery one at the vatican, however, appears serene, partly because the pope still enjoys perfect health and again bocause the sacred college can, in case of muecessity, meet elso- where than Rome. In convorsation a_highly placed personage said the times had passed when the cardi- nals aceept the vote of monarchies. Abso- lute liberty will henceforth be the principle on which conclaves work. The personage in question said it was difficult to determine the probabilities of the next conclave, Various | candidates have been meutioned, but none have been decided upon. Under tne extraordinary conditions, iIf ‘the concluve is held abroad, aud in the widst of European complications, it is to be presumed that the cardinals would choose a neutral foreign pope—for instance, Mauning of England, Gibbons of America or Malinci. It is to be borne in mind, he said, that foreign cardinals ere long will form a majonty in the sacred college, With the do- velopment of _Christianity the chur needs more cardiuals in_America, Australia, Canada, Ching and Africa, and this will modify ' essentially the conditions of the papacy. Further, the world becoming Rom- anized, it is necessary that the papacy should become universal. From this it is evident that it can no longer be exclusively Italian, Manning and Gibbons have especially gained in ecclesiastical opinion during these - latter times. ROLL OF THE DESTITUTE.

Chief of Police Seavey filed his report for the year ending December 31, 1890, with the board of fire and police commissioners last night, The document, which conslsts of forty pages of type-written manuseript, is, 1n sub- stance, as follow: At the beginning of the year the police force numbered ninety-four men. It was in- creased to 104 during the month of May, but has since decreased and at present has ninety- two names on the payroll, as follo One chief, 1 clerk, 2 captains, 1 chief de- tective, 4 sergeants ctectives, 2 jailors, 1 court officer, 2 patrol drivers, 2 patrol con- ductors, 2 turnkeys, 4 mounted men, 1 hostler and 64 patrolmen The force has been thoroughly drilled and every officer carefully instructed as to his duties, and the efficiency, discipline and ge eral fition of th: force will ¢ : with *hat of any western city. city has been more orderly during the year than any year simncel have haa com- mand of the police department, which may be accounted for by the peaceful inclination of our citizens and the vigilance of the police. The detective force has accomplished move this year than ever before. They have ar- rested 726 crimimals, many of whom were the most promineut and dangerous crooks in the United States, and have recovered and m‘urm‘nl to owners stolen property of th value of #7,762.4 The paitry sum of § hus beon paid by the city this year for ective service: A large number of burglaries and house robberies have been reported during the year, the police arresting nearly all of the crim- inals, but not having suMicient.evidence, very few of them were convicted of the crime charged. Many of these burglars and house robbers, however, were convicted of vagrancy and after serving their time in the county jail were run out of the city. Of the $38,798.60 worth of property re- ported stolen during the year, £15,555.14 has been recovered, whizh is & larger percentage than ever before. Crime will be committed, no matter how cargfully the police guard it, but the eficiency of the police is shown by the celerity and cer- tainty with which it hunts down and secures the criminal, My best efforts have been put forth and di- rected to so organize the force and discipline its members as to make it effective in sudden emergencies as in the every day routine of duty, to prevent crime, to protect persons and ‘property and to detect and bring crim- inals to justice.

During the year the police have arrested persons, of which number 2,016 were convicted, 184 remanded 1o the di ct court and 5,013 dismissed, which makes the per- centaize of convietions nearly double that of previous year. he members of the force are, with few exceptions, always on the alert, and suspi- cious strangers are closely watched. The dicipline of the force is good. There are, of course, many comblaints, but the great ma- jority of them are for minor infractions o the police rules and regulations, which is the best evidence of the vigilance of the superior officers. Sixteen patrolmen have been brought be- fore your honorable body for violating the rules and regulations who were fined to the amount of $137.91, which sum has been paid into the city treasury to the credit of the po- hef fund.
