Overwhelmed by an Earthy Flood An Important Railway Change - I'he Scotchmen Celebrate—Humped His Hip — Minor Mention. For some time past Council Bluffs has set- tled down to the belief that saloons were a necessary evil, which could not be entirely suppressed by the prohibitory law. ~The Law | and Order leaguo has becomo discouraged about the enforcement of the law and has practically decided that it will put forth no further efforts to break the jug by the power of the courts, but will lay for tho next meet ing of the legislaturo and then seek to get some new scheme fixed up. The attorney, Mr. Jacob Sims, who has been active in the prosecution of the saloon cases, has also retired, and having disposed of most of the cases in court has decided to start no now ones. The efforts of the Law and Order league and its attorney have resulted in clos ing about one hundred saloons, but others save sprung up to take their places, proprie- tors have changed, new places have started, and so really littlo has been accomplished despite the extensive and expensive litiga- tion. Of late the city has been collecting a reeular monthly amount from the salocns, with the understanding that those who did not pay would bo closed. It uppears that there is one person at least who is not disposed to let matters run along in_this sort of way. aul Seabrook, @ young attorney of this , has been making extensive preparations for an onslaughton the saloons, Yesterday he filed petitons against seventy-four differ ent places, asking that injunctions be issued. The novel feature of the move is that in each case, besides making the saloonkeeper and the owner of the property defendants, some of the city officials are also made defendants Mayor Macrae, Wade Carey, chief of po- ty Clerk Stephenson, Charles Fox, nis and City Marshal Templeton, These city officials are charged with conspiring and conniving to maintain the saloons, and have agrecd that the saloons shall have police pro- tection and official sanction, in_consideration of adivision of the profits arising from the wrongful trafiic. Itis further claimed that the city oficials demand of the salooukeepcrs 52.10 per month for this protection, and those thus paying are given immunity from prosecution by said oflicers, The e ok to have the nuisances abated, injunctions issued agaivst the keep- ers and owners, and also against the city officials restraining them from demanding or receiving any monthly fines or licenses from the saloons. o following are the names of the saloon- keepers who are made defendants in the suits: West Broadway—J.

The bank was about thirty feet high, and a large portioh of the top had been undermined. The shovel- ers were warned 1o keep away until the over- hanging portion had been knooked down, and did so, but one of thé teamsters named Kale Aylesworth did not heed the warning and continued to shovel the dirt upon his wagon. He bad his load nearly completed when the top of the bank fell. The team, wagon and man were hidden from sight by several tous of earth, A large number of men were on hand to rescue their imprisoned fellow worker and he was quickly brought to the surface. He was unconscious, but soon rallied, and had upparently suffered nothing more than temporary strangulation. The wagon was demohished and one of the horses had its hind leg broien at the hip.

Dr. Hart was born in Chenango county, New York, October 14, 1818, He received his carly education at Geneva, and he gradu- ated from the medical colloge situated atthat vlace in 1845, On May 1 of the same year he , the wife who survives him, He at once came to Fayette county, this state, where he remained until the breaking out of the war, when he entered the ranks as surgeon, first in the Ninth and latter in the Thirty-cighth infantry. ~At the close of the war ho came to Council Bluffs, where he has ever since lived. Ho was the father of four children, of whom ouly ono married Miss Sarah W survives, Ernest . Hart of this city. The deccased was a momber of the Council Bluffs Medical society, State Medical society, Missouri Valley Medical association and the American Medical association. For the past seventeen years he as been one of the com- missioners” of insauity for the Council Blufts district. He has also served as city and county physician, He was & member of the Congregational church, and has_always been a leader in the church work, He was generous to all ben. evolent objects and charitable institutions, He whas also a member of the Union Veteran legion, Ho has been devoted to his profes- sion, and his greatest pleasure was when he ‘was studying upon somo adyanced medical themo, At tho same timo be was very conservative about adopting new and untried methods of treating dise: and it was this, largely, that gave the public the confidence it undovbtedly had in himas a wan and a physician. itis death took place just a year after that of his daughter, Mrs. J.

Yesterday afternoon, after the routine business had been coggpleted, the wholesale grocers of Omaha and_Council Bluffs pre- euted the president, J. M. Nave, with a ve costly silver service'of 150 picces. The pre- sentation speeches wero made by Charles May and 1. M. Raymond. President Nave responded in a very feeling manner, 1n the evening a banquet was tendered the visitors at the rooms of the Omaha club. Besides the Omaha and Council Bluffs @rocers, the following eentlemen were seated at the tables: Messrs. Raymoad, Law, Hargraves and Plummer of Lincoln; Mr, May of Fremont; Mr. Davis of Toveka} Mr. Poebler of Lawrénce, Kan.; Mossrs, Long, Wilson, Bates, Gregory, Nave and Payne of Kansas City; M of Leavenworth; Messrs.

They are virile, in tense and faultlessly couceived, the duel no in the third act being un cntirely new ituation to the stage. And then there are a number of exceed- ingly clever bits of repartee and quict obser- vation of & misanthropic nature which show that Miss Morton has ideas far above the ordinary dramutist who is evolving trash upon which to feed a too susceptible public.

The County Physician Compels Young Rodgers to Break His Fast, A novel scene was witnessed at the county jail yesterday afternoon 1t was thosixthday that Harry M. Rodgers, the would-be suicide, has given emphasis to his declarations of self-destruction, by totol ubstinence from food. Al that has passed Lis lips during this time—so far as is known to the jailors—has been a cup of water each day. Neither his confincment nor alleged absti- nence from food has succeeded in taking the rosy fullness out of his face. Indeed he looks as though ho had been eating three square meals a day nad sleeping ten out of every twenty-four hours. The boyish-faced young chap has, so far as can be ascertained, not tasted food, and he scems to be proud over the fact of having tho nerve to court the services of the destroying angel. Tho factof his having been taunted with numerous very emphatic suggestions that suicide was tho basest of cowardice has caused him to wavernot a particle from his purpose. But the county authorities—strange as it may scem—prefer, out of the ordinari scauty charity of their hearts, to occasion. ally continue feeding a man instead of letting him die and paying § for a coftin and $12 to burying him. The officials decided to teach the young man a trick that he wasn’t counting upon. At1 o'clock Dr. Coulter, acting county vhysician, visited the jail, strapped Rodger: 10 a chair’ and forced a quart of mlk down his throat.

He visited the Union Pacific tele. graph headquarters last Monday and was complaining of pain in the lungs, Later in the day he was taken very ill at Herman's saloon, at the corner of Tenth and Leavenworth strcets, and was removed to St. Josepl’s” Bospital, where hie-died tho same ay. When the remains were taken to Burket's undertaking rooms there wereno papers or other means of identification found in his clothes and telegrams were sent to several places inquiving for the relatives. Yesterday the Union Pacitie operators in Omaha learned of Fisher's death and a collection was atonce taken up among operators between Omaha and Cheyenne to provide for the funeral, His home was in New York city. He wasa member of the Order of Railway Telegraph- ers and belonged to the division of Dennison, Tex.

Wasnivaros, Feb, 12, -[Special Telegram to Tue Bee)—Now that Senator Blair is about to retire from the scnate his senatorial colleagues ave dosirous of gettng up a sort of consolation purse. Senator Frye is taking the mitiative, He moved about the scnate today with a paper, urging the president to appoint Blair as judge of the United States district court of New Hampshire, to fill an existing vacancy. The paper was numer ously signed by both republican and demo- cratic senators, Althongh Blair is popularly regarded as erratic, he is a favorite among his colleagues, for he is always witty and his repartee hus often interjected smiles into acrimonious personal debate, His republi canism is sterling. THE PRESIDENT WILL SIGN 1T, Prosident Harrison will readily ottach his signature to the bill announced today as ready to go to the chief exceutive providing for the transfer of all retired ofcers who have reached or may reach the age of sixty four from the limited to the unlimited list, and reducing the former list from its present maximum of 400 to 350, The express object of the new law was tosccure to juniors the promotion which otherwise could not be hopad for in time of peace, It was not pretended that an oficer reaching the command, for example, of a regiment or a staff corporal at the age of sixty-four was unfit for his duties, Oun the contrary, it was made compulsory because so many ofticers at_the age of sixty four were at the height of their powers and usefulness, with the prospectof o continuing perhaps twelye or twenty years more. Con- gress in that act sought to retain the services of experiencad junior ofiicers, many of whom had to remain twenty years in a_grade and might be tempted by the greater chance to riso offered by civil pursuits. The present act is really supplementary to the. law of 1883 A very large proportion of the oficers retired for disability resulting from wounds or ill-health have now passed the age of sixty-four. Had | they remained on the active list” they would | be retired simply for age and for the ex- press purpose of {ucreasing the flow of pro- motion, The prosent congress according takes the ground that it simply carries out the existing policy 1n vermitting the transfer of such officers to the age listand so_opening this disability list proper to oficers awaiting such vacancios, COLONEL FORSYTHE'S VINDICATION, Army circles are stirred to_their depths by the vindication of Colonel Forsythe for his conduct in the Wounded Kuee fight. 1t was expected that the official findings would acquit Colonel Forsythe, but there was little idea that General Schofield aud Secretary Proctor would be so vigorous in ignoring and discrediting General Miles' views, General Miles says of Colonel Forsythe's action in the fight: *It is diffleult to conceive bow a worse disposition of the troops could have been made.” But neither Secretary Pro tor nor General Schofield even” notice General Miles' statement. General Scrofield gives a most hearty endorsement to the con- duct of the ofticers and men of the Seventh cavalry and says the regiment is well worth of the complimentary dispatch ho sent mediately atter the fight. ~ Secretary Proctor is_equally complimentary and says that the behavior of officers and men showed a disc tion, coolness, skill and_forbearance which refiécts the highest possible credit upon th regiment. He flies in the fuce of Gene Miles with the statement that ther nothing in the arrangement of the troops re quiring adverse criticism on the part of the department. Colonel Forsythe has gained in reputation by the procedings and stands stronger here than ever before. INDIAN DEPREDATION CLAIMS, Senator Paddock today in the senate made an urgent plea for immediate consideration of the Indian depredations_claim bill, but was temporarily overruled. The senator declared that the government had treated and was treating _shamefully hundreds of pioncers who had made the great west possible and whose houest claims had been bandied be- tween pillar and post for years. Ho an- nounced that mno_ further - delay _would be permitted. Later, when = Senator Call "of Plorida reférred sarcastically to the distance from which the president had selected the commissioner of charities for the District of Columbia, Sena tor Paddock asked whether he meant Prof. Warner of Lincoln. Senator Call replied that he did, when Senator Paddock said the vory best possible man for the position had been chosen. Ho said this because when the name was suggested the Nebraska delegation had not urgea-him and several knew nothing of him. Investigation showed that he was a graduate of the Nebraska university at Lin- coln, ono of the best and strongest of 'western colleges, and subscquently o post-graduate of Johns Hopkins ersity at Baltimore, wherc he took di inguished honors and for a year later devot- cd himself to administrative work in connec- tion with charities. “Without the kuowledge of himself or of us,” said Senator Paddock, “he was recommended for this position by the most distinguished charitable organiza- tion in gthe United States, and we are glad that oft® hesitating for some time to leave our uuiversity, where ne 1s an efficient and popular professor, he has consented to aceept with limitations the office tendered him.'” COMMENT ON CLEVELAND'S LETTER, Ex-President Cleveland’s antisilver letter was the topic of comment at the capitol to- day iu all political circies. It is conceded by the ex-president’s most ardent friends that it will prove a very embarrassing obstacle in the way of his nomination. He might have had the nomination tion, but now it will require such o struggle ns will divide many statesand ¢ iscords and factions within the party which will make the democratic campaign management a_ veritavle menageric. As to what offect the early commivment of Mr. Cleve- land upon_so important a question will haye upon the democratic uomince, whoever he may be, can be readily seen. From this time forward Mr. Cleveland, too, will have some- thing elso than civil service reform to de- fend; in fact he will from now till the day of the nominating convention, and should be bo nominated tili the day of eiection, be on the defensive, He will be kept constantly ex- vlaming and will have an ocean of opportu- nities to damn the press again and the ‘“lying cditors,” as he is 80 fond of referring to the managers of the press. Mr. Cleveland is always complaining about misrepresentations. His letter was serted in the permanent Congrossional R ord today through General Grosvenor of Ohio. He cannot complain of misrepresent- ation when heis quoted on sitver coinage during the campaign next y Nine out of every ten democrats in congress from the south and west lament that Mr. Cleveland has committed himself so early and so vehemently, They say it would take nim_entirely out " of the race for the nomination " if it was not for New York, and that it breaks up all hopes for an inroad into the west and north- west and that the_south cannot be depended upon if the issues involve finance. Senator Vest of Missouri declares that it will not now do to nominate Mr. Cleveland; that he has ruined the party in the west by allying himself with Wall street. The cagerncss with which the ex-president displayed his letter proves especially offensive to his part representatives. Representative Bland of Missouri says it is a fatal mistake, and adds: “Only when 2ne monoy-bags of Wall strect were threatencd did this man patriotism rise, His candidacy for the presi- dency will be ridiculous, He ‘will have no following west of the Allegheny mountains.” Mr, Bland is the highest siver~ authority to be found among the democrats in congres It was the intention of the democrats to make freo coinage a plank in their platform. Now they cannot, no matter who is nominated. MISCELLANEOUS, Senator Paddock has offered an amend- ment to the sundry civil appropriation bill appropriating 8200,000 for artesian well ex- periments in the sub-humid rogions. rles J. Gould, formerly of Lincoln, is ere, also N. W. Wells of Schuyler.
