NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Lumber Yard Fire at an Farly Hoar Yestor- day Morning. M'CONNELL & GREEN'S SHEDS BURNED Attempt to Burglarize the House of Mr. MeConnell buring the Conflagration Made ensful by the Nereims of n Woman, Unsi Before the fire department had fairly finished its work at the blue barn yester- day morning it had to respond to an alarm that came in at 3 o'clock from the corner of First avenue and Twenty-sixth street. The lumber sheds of MacConnell & Green were on fire, and the extreme dryness of the ma- terial of which they were made caused them to burn with terrific rapidity. When the firemen arrived nothing but the skeleton re mained, and they were unable to do any good. For about two years the sheds had been empty and the owners had neglected to make any arrangements for preserving their insurance policies by means of a vacancy per- mit. They carried policies to the amount of $2,500, but these are invalidated by the neg- which makes the loss total. The sheds were the finest in the city, and their value is estimated at not less than $4,000. The cause of the fire is not known posi- tively, but it s thought to have originated, either by accident or purposely, from a gang of horse traders which has been in camp in the vicinity for some time past. About half an hour before the first alarm was turned fn a burglar made an unsuccessful attempt to_breck into Mr. MacConnell's house on Third avenue near the ccrner of Ninth street. Mr. MacConnell was away and his wife and the two servants were the only occupants of the house. The lady was awakened by a sound of whistling near the house and a few minutes later she heard some one crecping stealthily up stars. At the head of the stairs the fellow stopped and lit a_match, and a second later entered Mrs, MacConnell’s room on hands and knees. She uttered a cry for help which sent the burglar out of the room on a mad chase for the open air. He had taken the precaution to light the gas down stairs and departed by the same window by which he had entered. He had unlocked the window from the out- side by means of a knife blade slipped up between the sashes. As he left the house he ran past Mshlon Brown and E. D. Patton, who were sitting on a fence on their way home from the first fire. They didn't get a very good deseription of him, however. The people of that part of Council Bluffs have been very nervous for several days past over the midnight prowlers who have ap- parently been locking for a place to get in thelr work. At an early hour Friday morning some one attempted to break into the residence of E. A. Troutman, in the same neighborhood, but was frightened away just as he had opened the blinds of one of tho windows. POPULISTS NAME DELEGATES, They Go Through the Motions of Prepatring for the Ca wign. The populists of Pottawattamie county met vesterday forenoon at Liberty hall for the purpcse of selecting delegates to the state and judicial conventions. L. Kinnehan called the meeting to order, and A. M. Hutchinson of Council Bluffs and G. N. Remington of Neola were chosen chairman and sccretay. Committees on credentials, permanent organization and resolutions were appointed, and the convention then ad- Journed until 2 o'clock. At the afternoon session the report of the committee on resolutions came up for con- sideration. ‘The resolutions presented were on the pattern of those usually adopted at such gatherings. They denounced the ro- publicans as monopolists, which they claimed was shown by the fact of the republicans selecting a corporation attorney as chairman of the state convention. They denounced Congressman Hager, denounced the use of troops in the recent labor troubles, and de- nounced pretty much of everything else. They carefully abstained, however, from de- nouncing anything of a democratic nature. A great deal of wind was wasted when the question of selecting delegates to the two conventions was brought up, but the thing was finally gotten out of the way, and the following are the delegates who will represent Pottawattamle county: - State convention—C. D. Dillon of Neola, Eugene Stuffel of Hardin, Willlam Speers of Minden, M. B. Lynch of Norwalk, R. V. Churchill of York, Bd Ward of Keg Creek, L. Kinnehan, Rev. George Muller, A. M. Hutchinson and Dr. A. J. of Kane. Judictal—C. Bradley and James Hatfleld of Neola, E. B. Bryan of Boomer, D. G. Gil- strap of Norwalk, F. B. Pratt of Crescent, J. G. Winslow of Minden, Ambrose Burke, W. L. Patton, A. L. Hendricks, George Hun- ter and Joseph Sherlock of Kane. BENNISON BROS.'

Toy of Omaha arrived In the city yesterday morning for the purpose of look- ing up some of the particulars of the mar- riage of his daughter to P. M. Stokesbury, the Wabash railway cmploye, which was an- nounced in The Bee yesterday. He pointed to a copy of the marriage record, which gave that young lady's age as 18, and stated that it was all a mistake, that she was only 15, in spite of her assertions to the clerk at the court house. Mr. Toy says that his daughter has an intimate friend in Mrs. Atherton of Red Oak, and that while visiting there she met Stokesbury, who is Mrs. Atherton’s brother. She never gave her relatives any reason for supopsing that anything more than a mere acquaintanceship existed be- tween them, and when the marriage was an- nounced it came like a thunderclap. The young left home Friday, saying she intended to visit friends on Walnut Hill and would return at 4 o'clock. She did not return, and her father spent all the evening until mprn- ing trying to find her. When The Bee came out yesterday morning he read In it an ac- count of the wedding and was at first natur- ally rather Indignant at the deception that had been practiced upon him, but he finally cooled down and declded to make the best of it.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, July 27, 1894.—To The Aditor of The Bee: Complaint comes through an Omaha paper that the examina- ticns of Superintendent Burton are too severe. This complaint Is encouraging and is a compliment to Mr. Burton, as It is evidence that he has inaugurated a reform in examinations and in granting certificates. As he is not accused of using tricks or “‘catches,” it is safe to presume that none will complein except those who fall to re- ceive certificates, or who recelve certificates of a lower grade than expected. The super- intendent has simply carried out hispurpose, announced some time before the institute convened, of raising the standard necessary to obtain a certificate, and those who have failed have only themselves to blame. It is conceded by nearly all who attended the institute ust closed that it was the most productive of practical knowledge to teachers of any held for several years. In this correction I will express the hope, probably felt by nearly all, that the High school of Council Bluffs may attain such excellence that it cannot be sald, as recently intimated by a member of the board and the city superintendent, that competent teachers for certain grades cannot be found among its graduates.

A fatal accident occurred at the railroad crosing in Albright at 7:16 o'clock yesterday, the victim being Mary Wagner, a child only 10 years of age. Frederick W. Wagner, father of the child, was also painfully bruised and given a severe shock. Mr. Wagner and his daughter were in a light wagon and were on their way to South Omaha. Mr. Wagner did not see the ap- proaching train until it was almost upon him. He whipped up the horse, hoping to get across, but the engine struck the rear end of the wagon and riddled it. The father and daughter were hurled from thelr seats and sent Into the air. The child never re- gained consclousness, She was carried into a neighboring building and attended by Dr. Berry and Dr. Slabaugh, but in forty-five minutes death came and the girl did not rally sufficien’ly to realize what had happened Mr. Wagner was more fortunate and although he fs bruised and injured painfully his wounds are not considered serious. His scalp was gashed and one hip was con- siderably bruised. As soon as attended to by the physiclans he was taken to his home at Thirty-fourth and X streets, The remains of the daughter were taken to Brewer & Sloan’s undertaking rooms and I!‘ cororer sent for, He arrived at 11 o'clock, but will not hold the inquest until Monday at 2 o'clock, on account of not being able to get witnesses The people who reside in Albright are in- dignant at the railroad company for not keeping a flagman at this crossing. They say it is impossible for a person driving east to gee an approaching train, as was the case with Mr. Wagner. Howland & Brad- ford, lumber dealers, have built their shed closa up to the roadway and one driving along could not see an approaching train for these sheds. The citizens of Albright claim that they have repeatedly asked for a flagman to be placed at this crossing, but the railroad companiss pay no attaation to their pleadings. It is quite likely that in the future a man will be stationed at this point by the different railroad companies which pass through. The fright and shock had much to do With the death of the child, althonga it is likely she was hurt internally. There are 10 bruises or fractures visible, hut she suf- fered intensely while life Jasted. Once or twice she attempted to speak, but her mut- terings_could not be understood. Mr. Wagner Is employed at Swift's pack- ing house and has lived In South Omaha fcr & number of years. The train was the early worning Mistouri Pacific passenger, which arrives apout 7 o'clock. — Mr. Meyers was the conductor and C. Miller the engineer. ‘Those who saw the accident claim that' the engincer aid not blow his whistle or ring the hell uatil the train was upon the vietims. The train- men, however, deny this and say the whistle was blown and that Mr, Wagner did not ap- pear to be looking for passing trains in any direction. It Is claimed, however, by peo- ple who live in Albright and tce the trains every day that the trains dash cver this crossing at the same rate of speed they do when ten miles in'the counry.

He knew the crows were whetting their bills to pull up the corn as soon as It appeared above the surface, says the Atlanta Journal. “I tell you how to get away with crows,” sald Neighbor Stokes. How Get you a gallon of mean whisky and soak some corn in it till it gets full of the stuff, and then scatter it broadcast in the field. The black rascals will eat it and get drunk, and then you can catch 'em and pull their heads off. That veats pizen or shootin"." In a few days Fatmer Crowder met triend Stokes. ., “Well, how's crops?”’ querled Stokes. “My corn's buxLlu‘ulmly ruint,” replied Crowder, dolefull¥ ‘I "tried 'that ‘ere scheme 0 your'n 'ard’ it's a humbug. I soaked the corn and cattered it one day, and the next morntn'sl went down to the new groun' to see hbow it worked.” “Found ‘em drunk,{éh?" “Found nothin'.

It happened at okie of the inland lake re- sorts of Wisconsin, 'says the Chicago Post A young man from Chicago was stopping there with his wife, and the wife had wandered down to the shore of the lake to enjoy the evening ‘ breeze. A short pler jutting out into the lake looked Inviting and she went out on it, unmindful of several gmall urching who were hovering about the boathouse at the shore end of the pler. A few minutes later her husband came to the lake to join her, but was intercepted by one of the urchins. “Say, mister, is that your girl?" asked the the his bo; he's my wife,” replied he young man. “Well, you tell her to go home, 'cause s wants to g0 In swimmin',” said the youngster, and thinking tha would settle the matter they all retired to the boathouse to undress. The young man promptly informed wife of the request, but she was enjoying berself and was not anxious to leave. She laughed and called to a new arrival at th boat house. “Tell the boys,” she said, when he had his come to her, “to run out and jump Into the water, if they wish to. I won't look." The little fellow hurried to the boat house with the message, and there was an im- medlate council of war, At its conclusion he returned to the end of the pler and said: “‘Please, ma'am, the boys say they dasn't risk it.” e o FOR THE GREAT R:LLAY RIDE.

The classes were very full, and mor heats should have been run, but the management would not consent this until cleven out of eighteen men fell in a bunch, and then it was deciede not to allow more than ten starters in a heat The first bad fall of the day was had when George Smith of the New York Athletic club, in a half-mile stretch, fell on the back streteh. In an instant four men went over him and only two finished. In this tumble all the men were more or less bruiged, and the wheels fared badly. In the next race, eighteen men were allowed to start. This was the mile handicap. At the first lay the men b ched, and just at the turn, W. L. Darmer, Hudson County wheelmen, was forced to the fenc and he went down. The rest of the crew followed, and eleven were piled u)‘v in a heap. ‘Wheels were smached and legs, arms and faces were bruised, The track was cleared by carrying some of the men_off, who revived later. Darmer was cut badly, but later appeared on the track. The best racing of the day was seen in the two-mile handicap, class A, which brought out big fields, There were five trial heats and a finpl.

M. J. Crosby, a Southern Pacific foreman at Stockton, testified that he talked with Wor- den at Stockton, and that during that argu- ment Worden said: “If the worst comes to the worst, we can fight; we can make bombs of the very best material.” The manager of the Western Union Tele- graph company at Sacramento, who had been ordered to produce copies of all telegrams st to the A.
