On motion of Alderman Everett the city marshal was instructed to remove a shanty ant the corner of Thirteanth street and Sev- enth avenue at once, Alderman Everest presented a resolution of thanks to Congressman J. R. Reed for the successful way in which he hustled the Inter- state bridge bill through both houses of con- @ress in less than a month, It was unani- mously adopted. Attorney O. D. Wheeler presented a com- munication from a man named Phillips, who lives at the cornec of Sixteenth street and Twenty-third avenue, stating that the city baa built a dam near his property, which had caused the water to run _into his cellar, damaging him in the sum q@8100. He asked the council to remunerat 0 this amount and take steps to prevent a like oc- currence in the future. Alderman Wood presented an ordinance accepting thelatof Babbit plage. The motion to put the ordinance on its sccond reading was lost, Smith and Mikesell voting against it, W. A. Mynster presented a plat of his Benton street addition and asked that it be adooted by the council, It was referred to the city engineer and the committee of the whole. An ordinance was read and_adopted pro- viding for the grading of Eleventh street between Avenues B and . motion was made to instruet the city to begin suit strect company grading on Ninth street, moved that he also be instructed to press the suits against the ex-mayor and aidermen who had taken fees for their services as members of the board of equalization. Both motions were carried. An ordinance was then read, which will no doubt fall upon the ears of the members of the motor company with a dull thud. Tt reads like thi: “Be it ordained by the common council of the city of Council Bluffs, that in order to enable the city of Council Bluffs to resume and take possession and have full control hereafter of nll the streets upon which the Council Bluffs street railway company has not a permanent track laid, ana is not now actually operating its cars ' tnereon, and by reason of said Council Bluffs strect railwa; company not complying with the contract by which it obtained certain richts granted under an ordinance approved August 11,1869, and amended December 21, 1877, entitled as amended, ‘Anordinance ' permittiog the use of n streets of the Council Bluffs street railway company all the rights, privileces and franchises granted to said Council Blufls street railway company by sald ordinances and amendments thereto as to all streets where said company has not now permanent tracks laid and actually ope: ating _its_tracks thereon. are hereby re- umed by sald city and all the hts and privileges thereby granted to said Council Bluffs streot railway company are hereby fully revoked, cancelled, termi- nated and ended thereon, and as to such streets said Council Bluffs street railway company has and shall have no furtherrights or privileges thereto, and is forever prohib- ited from in any manner claiming or exercis- ing the same. “Nothing in this ordinance shall be con- strued to in any manner affect any right granted to said company by said ordinance or said amendment as to “strects where said company has a permanent track and is now actually operating its cars thereon, “Sec. 2. All ordinances and parts of ordi- nances in conflict with this ordinaace are hereby repealed. “Sec, 8. This ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its publication as provided by law.” Alderman Everett spoke in fayor of the passage of the ordinance. He said the com- pany had taken advantace of every logal technicality to et out of its obligations to the city, especially in in the matter of paying for the paving between the tracks, which it is compelled to pay by the terms of its con- tract. It had proved itself anything but a it recipient for past or future favors, Wind was afraid the council was getting self into trouble by considering such an or- dinance: supposing some day the city should want the company to put down some tracks somewhere! Then this _ordinauce would stare them in the face. But it didn't take him two minutes to come in out of the wet, and the ordinance was passed without a dis- senting vote, The council then took under consideration the list of candidates for the offices of judges and clerks for the coming ecity election, making the following appointments First Ward—Judees, H.

The defense cited the law that compels them to use the latest and most approved methods for provent- ing accidents of all descriptions, and then put Master Mechanic Manchester, of Dubugque, on the stand, to testify as to the construction of their locomotives. He showed a model of the engine to the jury, and ex- plained in detail the way 1n which the sparks are- consumed. Their defense is that they use the most approved method for destroying these sparks, aud they claim that they are not responsible for anything beyond thats :l[ 18 thought the case will be completed to- ay. eorge Coulthard and F.

A stout opposition was looked for from the salooukeepers when it came to collecting the monthly fines for February. One reason for this was that when the &0 per mooth fine was adopted the saloonists, or least many of thew, thought that they could not make any- thing at that rate, but they decided to try it amonth and see how iv turned out. When | the month bogan 1o uear its end the song and dance begau again. The saloonkeepers de- | clared by il that was good aud bad that they would not pay £50, and that they would run their places in spite of everything, In caso any trouble was made they would bring the city authorities into the state courts and fight the fine ordinance on the ground that it was opposed to the state law, All of which sounds very ferocious indeed Yesterday was the last day, according to theordinance, on which the fines were to be paid, and the result showed that a large part at least of tho saloonkecpers’ threats were | made of wind.

Al- though yesterday was the last day, it has been the practice to give them a day or {wo of grace, and the marshal will not be or- dered out to look after the delinguents for a day or two.

Maggie Mitchell appeared again last night at Boyd's in “Lorle, or the Artist's Dream,’ one of the most popular plays of her reper- toire, and interpreted the character of Lorle in a manner that left nothing to be criticised, and added many to the long list of admirers, Miss Mitchell's methods are peculiarly ner own. She enters into the spirit of her part with her whole heart and soul, and her audi- tors can always feol sure of witnessing a thoroughly conscientious and painstaking performance. She is supported this season, as in the past, by a thoroughly competent company, and every attention is paid to the stage settings and details of her presenta- tions. Mr. Howard Gould as Reinhart, the artist, gave a manly, artistic portrayal of the rol Mr. R. ', McClannin played the Lin- denhost as he does all things, well. Mr. George W. Deyo was handsome and digni- fied as the prince, Sheridan Tupper as Baron Arthur made much of a small part, which less capable hands_ would hardly receive attention, Mr. Edward Poland was hardly up to the requirements of Christoph.

Hanuisnune, Pa, Feb, 10.—A local paper publishea today a story thatthere is likely to be found a deficiency of 890,00 in the adjut- <| ant general’s office and the governor will in- vestigate. Adjutant General McClelland said tonight: ‘“Chis ofice is in no manner responsible for such reports, As to the un- paid bills the amount of them cannot yet be determined. There is nothing that in any way reflects upon General Hastings, ex-ad: jutant general.” Ex-Adjutant General Hastings will tomor- row priut a'lengthy statement regarding b management of the affairs of the office du ing his incumbency. He emphatically de- nies that there is any shortage and says that on the contrary he leaves a balance for his successor. Tonight it is stated by a member of the legislathre that the story isprobably based on the ract that there will be necessity for a de- ficiency bill to meot the requirements of the militia, Extensive improvements in the equipment of the national guard last year, several division encampments, ete., caused & large increase in expenses, which was met by paying the bills out of the coming year's appropriation, This practice will probably be stopped. e Gessler's Magic Headache Wafers.

He Will Look After the'Adinission of the Union Pacific to'the Pool, A HIGHLY SENSATIONAL REPORT. It Tells of the Consolidation of All Northwestern Roads — The West- ern Trafiic Assoclation's Very Smooth Move, Ciicado, Feb. 10.—~[Spocial Telegram to Tue Bee|—The passenger department of the Transcontinental ussociation is arranging to pool all its business. Two committees, one on westbound business, including emigrants, andthe other on eastbound business, have been in session all day in an attempt to form isfactory pool. No conclusion was reached, but the committoes will remain in session nntil they ean make a report. The freight business was pocled several months ago, except that the Union Pacific is not ad- mitted tothe pool. Since Gould gained con- trol, it has been thought best to admit the Union Pacifie, this being partly the busiuess which is now bringing Gould west. mooth Move, G0, Feb. 10, ~[Special Tetegram to E | —~Chairman Midgely of the south- western division of the Western Freight as- ociation was tod elected chairman of all divisions, superceding Acting Chairman Osgood. This the smoothest move yet made by the Western Trafic tion, Not a solitary change, except in name, is necessary to make this fissocfation the lake division of the Western Trafic association, if all the members were willing. The Alton and Kan- sas City roaasat present block the plan, as they absolutely refuse to join the Western TraMe association, This move is the first one towards actually putting the Western Trafic assoclation into operation. Said Chairman Walker : “As fast as possible, without friction, we will put the Western Trafic association into fulloperation. The election of Mr. Midyl is part of this plan. It is better to wake haste slowly and with the coneurrence of all interested lines.” There were many expressions of regret that Acting Chairman Osgood should have been deposed, the trafo men, especially in the Western ght association, considering him an able successor to Chairman Faithorn. The order for the change, however, comes from the presidents, Status of Joint Rates.

If the rate is now enforced and the decision is re- versed by the supremo_court of the United States, the company will have cause of action for damage against the state. If, on the other hand, the decision is affirmed in after years tho intention of the law will have been al- ready defeated. In au interview with a prominent lawyer he said that the remedy of the company, however, was in a United States court, wherea pelition could be filed fora stay of proceedings, pending theap- peal.

Cintoado, Feb. 10.— [Special Telegram to Tuk Bk, —A highly seusational report was telegraphod from New York today concern- ingan alleged scheme to consolidate all the large northwestern roads.. President Ros- well Miller of the Milwaukee & St. Paul, is the only head of any of the roads named that is in the city today. When his attention was called to the report ho said: “I never heard of such negotiations being in progress. If they are, I have never heard of them know nothing about the matter at all and never heard of it Officials of other roads named considered - the report as too absurd to deserve considera- tion. Thoy said that such a consolidation as that mentioned was simply an impossibility and they regarded the whole matter as a stock jobbing sensation got up for the pur- poso of influencing the price of stocks. 11 Talk.

Tn it M Watterson says that outside. of the state of New York tiero is a well nigh unapimous demand among democrats for the nomination of Cleveland too strong for party leaders and manugers to resist. If Hill should come to the national convention with the New York delegation solid against Cleveland he would be over- whelmed. *You ure powerless to p adds Waterson, ‘“but_you can do election of the ticket. Thiere are ¢ every part of the union who believe y did this in 1885, T know it to bo talse, but it will cling to you as long as vou live and will meet you in every national ‘convention if it be not dissipated by some act on your part great enough to blot it out. Indefault of this if you have any hope of the presidency it will defeat that.. If you could reconcil it with your judgment to make peac with Cleveland and talke & delegation to the national convention in 1502 to put him in nomination you will save the party and plac yourself upon an elevation you can never in if you fail todo it. You'would be r ceived by the country with enthus asm and I don’'t see how you could be kept out of the succession, On the other hand, even if you succeeded in defeating the nomination of Cleveland, you will stand upon sinister and dangerous ground, with astormy future before you,” bl i Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing S dren teething the mother. 2 rup for chi s the child and comforts cents a bottle, i = ILLEGAL COURT PRACTICES.

The report tells of a gen- eral suspension of sentences pre nounced, principally in the dis- ricts of West Virginia and northern Georgia and m the Northern, Middle and Southern districts of Alabama, thus encour- agiug the methods of foe-making practi by United States district attorneys, mar- in some parts of the country men ced by deputy marshals and United States commissioners to make compliints against each other for violation of the iuter- nal revenue and tmber laws, are arrested by deputy marshals and brought before the commissioners, where, after hearing, they are bound over to the court after he- coming bail for each other and appearing be- fore the court as defendants, witnesses and bailee, A large number of witne are summoned in every case, the federal ‘oficers charging for every petty service, increasing the mileage by unncccessary ips, pocketing the allowances intended for witnesses and others, TheUnited States commissioners by these means sccure an annual income ran from #£,000 to #3000, Commissioner Hallett of Boston, Mass,, is criticised for ob- taining fees by practices such as these, Re- port says that most of these prosecutions are }ri\‘nlmls, and if prosecuted in the courts would be frowned on.
