Call or address at Grand hotel, Council Bluffs, —— BACK FROM DES MOINES, Result of the General Conference of the City Ofclnls—Changes in Laws, Mayor Macrae, Aldermen Pace and Wood, City Attorney Stewart and Surveyor Toste- vin returned yesterday noon from Des Moines, where they went to attend a meet- ing of the officials of scme of the leuding cities of the state. Most of the time was spent 1n deliberating upon questions con- mocted with municipal affairs, and a number of steps were taken which will be apt to lead to important legislation in the near future. The question of allowing oities hav- ing a certain population to levy a tax of b mlls or less for city lighting purposes was brought up, but a resolution favoring it was defeated, owing to the decided stand taken by the Bluffs delegation. “In looking around,” saia Mayor Macrae in speaking of this question, “I find that Council Bluffs is in a much bettor condition in every way than almost any other city in the state. Manpy cities are heavily in debt and would hike to have a way invented for raising che necessary funds 1o carry on their running expenses. We ure not troubled in that way, and 60 our delegation opposed the Enn with all our might, and induced the urlington and several other delegations to look at the thing in our way.” This plan Qid not work, however, in con- sidering the question of allowing cities to levy atax of 5 mills or less for fire pro- tection, for a resolution favoring it was adopted. On comparing notes the various mayors found that they had all bad trouble in recon- ciling 1he oftices of marshal aud chief of police, there being considerable friction be- ween the incumbents. A resolution was {ulcd favoring the p 0 of alaw uniting he two offices in one and allowing the chief of police to perform the duties of both, pro- vided bis appointment stould be left in the bands of the mayor and not the people. The Bluffs delegation speak in high terms ©of the way in which they were entertained by the people of Des Moines, On Wednosday evening they were entertained at a banquet, an almost unheard of thing in Moines, which has a reputation of allowing visitors to 0ok after themsolves as a general thing.

CHARGES THEM WITH EMBEZZLEMENT Grand Larceny Also Included—What the Specifications Are—Rall rolshed for the Accused—Attorney Burke Outlines the Defense, The grand jury, which has been in session for over four weeks, made its second and last report yesierday morning and was dis- charged. The session has been the longest held in this county for years, the cause of the length being the vast amount of business connected with the Kimball-Champ ocases, Five indictments were returned against each of the two men, four being for larceny and one for embezzlement. Tho warrants wore served on them ai the office of their at- torneys, Burke & Casady, and bail was at once secured, their bond being fixed at $10,- 500 and signed by J. F. Kimball, George H. (o] D. Carrigg, J. J. Shea, C. E. H. Campbell, and James Soguin. In the various inaictments they are charged with embezziing $500 belonging to George Olcott of Charlestown, N. H., and the lar- ceny of $2,833.33 from D. W. Archer, of the Keeno Five-cent Savings bank: $1,485 from the Littleton, (N, H.), National bank: $359 from J. C. Teller ot Denver, and #143,000 from the Kimball-Champ Iuvestment com- pany. The defendants claim, with reference to the charge of embezzlement, that the $500 had been fully paid back to its rightful owner before the case was submitted to the erand jury, and that they hold a receipt for the amount. In regard to the Archer claim and the claims of the two bunks, they state that the shortage Is fully covered in the trust deed to the Manhatian and other indiviaual property which they exccuted on the day they made their assignment, and that the amoucts claimed to have been stolen repre- sented money that was in the hands of the Investment company standiug as credits on the books, but not remitted to its owners. 1n connection with the case, Attorney Fin- loy Burke, who represents the defendants, spoke as foilows *IL 18 evident from the indictmentreturned that the complaints used before the grand jury are not of alleged wrongs to our own poople, but alleged wrongs to easiora capi- talists. The acts are ucts of the investment company, which, in the nature of things, must have been known to the other officers and employes of the company. Iu one oase, that of Teller, the court has alrcaay passad on gthe case by making an order on the re- coiver of the Kimball-Champ Investment company to pay the amount out of the assets of the company. The chief charge purports to be made on behalf of the eastern stock- holders, but we claim that the stockholders have notauthorized such uso of their names, and it is known that Messrs. Kimball & Champ put in _the hands of Mr. Milton Jackson, an honorable man rep- resenting holders of $39,000 worth of invest- ment company stock, for their use and can- celed $35,000 so that the effect is to reduce the stock §124,000. We also claim that this overdraft is greatly exaggerated and that there is nothing criminal “in it, but a mero matter of tho difference of opinion as to the advisability of building a hotel in Council Bluffs and that if a mistake it has been more than provided against by the deeds to the company and transferand cancellation of stock, The compuny had a capital of $300,- 000, If Kimball & Champ surrendered and canceled $124,000, this reduced the stock by that amount so as to make it a company of $176,000, aud this covers any impairment of the balance of stock.” In addition to the above indictments were returned as follows: E. G. Tobin, who stole $17 from the pocket of J. Y.- Hendricks of Shenandoah at the Kiel house, larceny in a building; William Criss, who stole 50 be- longing to Mes. Anna Pralor, larceny; E. R. Rowe, embezzling $164 belonging to W. A. Edwards & Co.of Des Moines; William Probstele, solling mortgaged property. It is claimed that Probstole mortgaged & couple of billiard tables to N. Schurz, which after- wards turned out to be the property of the Ogden livery stablo. — FIRE HAD A LUNCH. Three-Story Reside Woolworth Ave- nue Licked Up This Morning. This morning an alarm from box 125 called a part of the firo department to Twenty-eighth street and Woolworth avenue. Wnen the firemen arrived there they discovered a three-story frame dwelling, ovined by E. E. Leavenworth, a mass of flames. It was almost 8 waste of onergy on the rt of tho firemen to endeavor to do any- thing more than keep the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings, and as it was Mr. Leavenworth’s house was completely de- stroved, entailing a loss of 86,000, The house has been vacant for three months,and it is supposed the fire was started by tramps who have used the piace as a lodging house. Bad roads delayed the firemen from mak- ing a prompt response to the alarm, © ol Cleaned Them Out, Av2:20 firo was discovered in a row of framo houses at North Thirtieth sod Gar- field avenue, owned by Mrs. Bechel. Two one-story cottages, occupied by laborers, and & two-story frame, occupied by Ed Breoks as a general store, were totally deswroyed.

Unton Poelfic Trainmen Have Their Clalms Rejected by Mr. Dickinson, The conference botween Assistant General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific and the joint grievanes committee representing the Order of Railway Conductors and the wprotherhood of Railroad Trainmen wasshort and inconclusive. A press committee ap. pointed by the employes makes the fullowing statement: ““The committee called on Mr. Dickinson at the appointed hour and was kept waiting thirty minutes before gaining an audience. The committee last week submitted a new schedule of wages, and at the conference Mr. Dickinson made & statement purporting to give K the aggregate increass of wages under the proposed schedule, According to his own statements his figures were based on the service of threeof the busiest months of the year. Careful esti- mates made by the committee indicate that the aggregate increase will not exceed 60 per cont of the sum named by the assistant gen- eral manager. “The committee proposed discussing the uow schedule article by article, but Mr. Dickinson positively refused to entertain a proposition for an increase of wages until the schedule was withdrawn, That would have left the committee without a cause. Will Appeal to Clark, ““Its members felt aggrioved atthe scant courtesy shown them as the representatives ot two great organizations of railroad men, and they left Mr. Dickinson resolved to ap- veal to General Manager S. H. H. Clark. Telograms have beon sentto E. E. Clark, grand chief conductor of the Order of Rail- way Conductors, and S. B. Wilkinson, grand master of the Brotherlood of Railroad Train- men, and they have started for Omaha. Gen- cral Manager Clark bas also been wired, and we expect he will meet our grand officors in this city next week.'" Members of the committees think a confer- ence with the general manager will be reached by next Wednesday. At ono time Mr. Clark was expocted in Omaha this week, but it was given out at his ofice yesterday that he contemplated a trip south from St. Louis. and the date of his arrival in this city was said to be very uncertain, The committees are confident that Mr. Clark will promptly respond to their call to come to Omaha, but they will vouchsafe no reason for their faith beyond smiling assurances that they “know he will be here.” One of the grand officers who have been called to the assistance of the committees was in Baltimoro and the other in New Hampshire when wired, but both started westward yesterday. —— DECEIVED BY EMPLOYMENT AGENTS. Laborers Sent on a Wild Goose Chase—Hard- ships Suffered. Wicnita, Kan., Feb. 5.—Twenty-fivelavor. ing men passed through here on foot today on their way from Oklahoma to Kansas City. They tell a pitiful tale of doception by an employment agent and sub- sequent hardship and suffering. When the announcement was made in the news- papers that the Rock Island was extending its line through Oklahoma to Texas, Employ- ment Agent Payne of Kansas City advertised for men to work on the line. Twenty-five men answerea the advertisement and on pay- ment of $15 were promised transporta- tion to the place of work and em- ployment when they should rcach there. The men say that when they arrived in Oklahoma they found that the contractor had all the mon he wanted and that he had not authorized the employment agent to secure workmen for him. The twenty-five newcomers could find no means of subsistenco in Oklahoma, so they pooled what littie money they had ' to buy food with andstarted to tramp 1t back to Kansas City, 600 weary miles. Thoy passed through heire today, all of them in a terribly destitute con- dition, and some barely able to drag them- selves along. Thoy expeci to bo on the road for twenty days more.

He states that the girl and hor captors stopped at a ranch, and the girl was pormitted to go into the house and get something to eat, when sho told her story, imploring thom to rescue her. As thera was no one in the house excepta boy, he nould rendor her no assistance, but as soon as they left he gave the alarm to.the neighbors, who orzanized a posse for the pur- 080 of pursuing the Indians, Oficers from "lagstafl reached there soon afterwards and it is thought her rescue will soon be effected.

Crandall, Chairman Cawpaign Com- mittee, New Orleans, La.” In an interview concerning these arms Colonel Crandal! says: “Yos, it is a fact that these arms have come to New Orleans addressed to me as the chairman of the dem- ocratic executive committee. There has been absolutely no attempt made to conceal their shipment, and there is lkewise no effort being made by us to dis- guise why the arms have been secured. We are providing oursolves with them sim ply to protect ourselves against any scheme, armed or 'otherwise, to deny us a free ballot and a fair count in the coming election. Since the nominating convention at Baton Rouge wo have boen met on all sides with statements from the friends and supporters of Mr. Foster that it was war to the knife and kuife to tbe hilt, and that the machinery in the hands of the existing state administration vas to be used in counting 3= the Foster and in counting out the Meituery ticket. Helieving thereforo that the state and election machiuery under the control of the present state administration are to be employed in frustrating, if nocessary, a free expression of the public will, we dotermined on the principle that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, to take such means as would protect us from an illegal and unwarranted interference with our rights under the law. As I sad before, we are mnot endeavoring to conceal anything whatever, The arms have been openly shipped, and there will be another consignment shortly, of which our friends may take notice if they desire. ‘'here is no wtention on the part of the regular demo- crats to precipitate trouble. There is no desire to provoke the shedding of blood. It has been our aim to seoure a perfectly peace- able election and to abide by the result. All' we have asked for and all we mean to secure s the privilege of every voter to vote as he chooses in the com- ing election and the assurance that his vote will be counted as it is cast. Wo have never intended to bulldoze or blnft, but we are firm in our determination not to be bulldozed or bluffed. Our preparations are simply with a viow to insuring an Honest election, and we have merely acceptedin earaest the threat made at Baton Rouge by the state house and Foster ring, that the administration will elect the. Foster ticket, even if a resort to un- fair ballot and an unfair count are necessary, a contingency we ave ' determined shall not arise, and which wilf’hot arisc unless we are disappointed in the mpnhood of this state.” e ACCORDING TO LAW.

Ferguson, secre- tary of the New York Produce exchange, who is & recognized authority on the statis- tics of the grain export trade of this port, has just made his aunual report. The table compiled by Mr, Ferguson shows the enor- mous 1ncrease of the grain export trade of New York and the dwinaling away of the American marine, The American merchant flag is being ariven off the seas by Great Britain, The completeness with which steam has superseded sail in the ocean carrying trade may be seen from the fact that of 1,233 ves- sels which carried cargoes of grain from this port during the year 1801, ounly fifteen were sailing vessels, There were shipped from New York during 1501 6 528 bushels of American grain to feed the hungry mouths of Kurope. Not included in this were 200,877 bushels of buckwheat which appears in the statistics for the first time, buckwheat never having been exported before in any quantity. Kind Quantit¥, There were 47,700,285 busheis of wheat, 1 2 bushels of corn, 4,401,513 of rye, 3 of oats, 1,043,010 of varley and 366 of flax seed. his 63,483,005 bushels of grain was carried 223 steamers and fiftoen sailing ships— five Britisn, five Italian, four Australian ana one Norwegian —which, amone them, loaded 600,904 bushels, Of the 1,238 ship loads only twenty-five were carried under the American flag. 'Fhera are only four American steamers left in the grain carrying trade. They are the old passenger steamers of the late American line which used to ruo from Philadelphia under control of the Pennsylvania railroad. These four lonesome steamers—about all that is left of the American transatlantic mer- chant marine—made twenty-five voyages during the year. England Gets the Most, Great Britain has the lion’s share of the worla’s carrying trade. aud no less than 792 ship loads left this port under the British flag last yoar.
