Chief Scanlan, in his annual report to the mayor, asks that the council purchase ten more patrol boxes, The Richmond system, which is principally in use in this city, is a combination of fire and police alarm. The Richmond company has now gone out of business, and the system Is being replaced gradually by the Gamewell, which has only fire alarm boxes. In this way three boxes, those at Broadway and Main, Sixth avenue and Twenty-first, and South First and Knep per, have been dispensed with and, Scanlan clafms, the vacancies should be filled. There are only a few telephones in the Fourth ward that are getatable after 11 o'clock, and a part of the remainder of the ten boxes the chief would scatter around through that vicinity. The rest would be located o0 as to enable the patrolmen to make their reports at night without the necessity of using private telephones. Now arrangements have to be made with certain business houses for the use of their telephones after night, which has not proved a very satisfactory way of doing things. The chief also recommends that the size of the force be increased by the addi- tion of six men, instead of cut down, as certain parties have demanded. A Good Deoision.

The Union Pacific receivership had some bearing on the case, and Clerk Stead- man of the Unitel States court testified as to the names of the receivers. The records were brought in, and the names of but four could be fonnd there, Clark, Anderson, Ames and Coudert. Mink's name for some reason or other was missing. During the afternoon sey- eral of Hall's friends were there to prove, some of them that Hall was at home and in bed, or elso playing high five on the Sun- day night when the burglary is alleged to have been committed, and others that Hall was suffering from sore fect, which would have prevented him from doing any work so hard as robbing cars, if he had had the in- clination. The court room was filled with a lot of Hall's friends, most of whom will bave to testify this morning.

Paunl's Episcopal Church Resigns His Charge, POUR HEALTH GIVEN AS THE REASON Hard Work Against Great Odds Told on | Im-St, Paul's and Grace Chure | May Be Consoliduted—Discuse slon Among Me Rev. B. J. Babeock has resigned his rector- Paul's Episcopal church, on ac- count of poor health, and the resignation has be ly accepted by the vestry, who have adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That In accepting the resigna tion of Rev. Bugene J. Babcock as rector of { this parish, on accourit of his continued 1l | health, thé menibers of the vestiy most | gladly’ bear their heartfelt testimony to U Talthfuln with which he has discharged hig duties ag spititual {nstructor, leader stor during the last three years and a He has gone in and out among our With unceasing industry, and his and welcome visits have brought and sunshine to their homes and He as proved himself a devoted and self-denving rector at ull times, He has preached the gospel faithfully, ably and carnestly aud administered to the spiritual | necds of our parish thirough the various | offices and sacraments of the church with unflugging zeal and fidelity, We t from as our rector and from his excellent wife and daughter with sincere and un- feigned regret, and we earnestly pray to Al- mighty God that health and strength may be restored to him and that he may spared for many years of usefulness to hi family and the church, In accordance with the date suggested by Mr. Babeock, the resignation will take effect April 1. His future plans are not announced, but the vestry have tendered him the free occupancy of the rectory until it shall be needed by a successor, the choosing of whom they will be in no haste to make. Mr. Babcock has labored most earnestly to build up the church here, even at the sacri- fice of health itself. His position has not been in all respects an enviable one. His predecessor had gathered about him a large and enthuslastic following, and many of them scemed unwilling to transfer their alleglance to a new spiritual leader, how- ever worthy. While there have been no church dissensions or disturbances, there has been a rather discouraging falling off in the number of communicants, and a lessening of those | who were drawn into the pews simply by the popularity and eloquence of the preacher. Like all churches, St. Paul's has been afflicted with an attack of hard times, and the contributions have fallen off in at least e a_degree at the attendance at public worship, Some of the prominent members have cut off their subscriptions entirely, and this has naturally crippled the organization badly. The Sunday afternoon services, which were the most largely attended of the whole week, have been discontinued, beginning with next Sunday. Rev. J. . Simpson is mentioned as a possible successor to Mr. Babcock. In the event of his being sclected for the place St. Paul’s and Grace churches will undoubt- edly be combined. Some influential mem- bers, however, favor shutting the doors of the church for the present. It is probable that there will be too great interest in the welfare of the organi: fon to submit to this step being taken.

Tel. 157, Houses Aro Searce. Real estate men are of the opinion that Ccuncil Bluffs is on the eve of a season of prosperity, and as an evidence they point to the scarcity of houses for rent in the cen- tral part of the city. There are some houses to rent in the outskirts of the city, of the variety that were built a few years ago by the investment companies which glutted the | ana lin consideratior | was on his way to call on a patient at Sheely | saloon | was made, In the central part of the city that are un- occupled and for rent are comparatively scarce. The opening of pring is bringing quite a de- mand for houses of this kind Portraits of + ashys. Postmaster Thomas Bowman ls getting up a collection of the portraits of the early ex- pestmasters of Council Blufts, and has so far four crayon pictures and several small sized photographs to show for his pains. Yester- day he recelved the photograph of Joseph Elils Johnson, who has the distinction of being the first man who ever licked a postage stamp as postmaster of Council Bluffs. That was in 1853, The picture from which the | crayon portrait fs to be made bears evidenc of having been taken from an old fashione doguerreotype, and the subject showed his contempt for the frivolities of clvilization by ppearing in his shirt eleeves. Johnson alsgo attained some prominence in this vicinity by rurning a newspaper at Crescent City, H devoted his best energles to booming that | town, and prophesied a number of times through the columns of his paper that it had a destiny before it that would make all| other western cities pale into insignificance While Council Blufts was yet Kanesville | Evan M. Greene was postmaster, and his face shines out from within a_fine hard wood frame in the postmaster's office. He was the first postmaster in Kanesville, his commis- sion having been dated in 1848, He served for two years and then joined the Mormons and went to Utah. In his time the office was at the corner of Broadway and Benton streets was made of Ic The man who made the portrait has taken off several rough edges from Mr. Greene's costume, which appears to have been several shades sprucer than would have been considered good form in the ear! daye, but the original from which the cr was made shows that the fault lies with artist, and not with Mr. Greene's tailor. The cnlarged portraits of W. W. Maynard Phil Armour and T. P. Treyuor, all of whom are deceased, adorn the walls of the office, in addition to that of Greene, and all the other early postmasters, to the number of about a dozen, will be honored in a like manner as soon as possible. The postmasters who are | still living, however, will either have to pay for their own portraits or else wait for future generations to honor them, for Mr. Bowman has given it out cold that he will not pay for any pictures excepting for those who lave gone before n the ring fate, room for new goods; n the way, and Prices not taken Lamps that are a variety of other that will make it a prices below manu- Ten Days' C ‘We have got to have have a lot of goods th intend to dispose of the in this worth $3 will go at $1, useful household article cha to get goods at facturers’ costs.

Thie was the first time these views wero exhibited, but owing to the careful preparations made and the skill of the operators of the stercopticon, Messrs, Stevens Bros.,, not a hitch occurred in the carrying out of the somewhat extensive pro- gram. Quite a unique feature was the relistic rendition of the squeal of the dying pi which was effected by the agency of a phono- graph, Mr. Joel Eaton, manager of the Ne- braska Phonograph company, having gone down to South Omaha and recorded on one of his machines the last sounds of the expiring porkers, which on an average only lasts eight seconds, so quickly is the killing accom- plished. Interspersing the pictures of the different rooms ussd for killing and preparing the cat- tle for the markets, were numerous portrait of the employes, and so faithfully were they portrayed that the vast audience went fai wild with enthusiasm as they recognized th faces presented on the canvas. As a lec- turer Mr. Boyle proved himself to be quite an adept, being both entertaining and humor- ous with his descriptions. Mr. Willima C. Blackburn acted as general manager of the affair. A very agreeable variety was given to the entertainment by the musical performances of the T. K. quartet, which sang during the evening, among other selections: “The Star Spangled Banner,” “Give Me My Own Native Isle,)” “There Was a Man of Thessaly” and “The Vacant Chair,” and was recalled several times. The Thompson quartet comprising, F. G. Hazell, man, F. L. Lyman and E. a stirring sallor mel of South William H G. Rozzette, sang ody entitled “The Tar's with great effect, and later on a very pretty lullaby, which called forth enthusastic applause. Omaha, Good- — ASSAULT ON DR.

ON A SOLID FINANCIAL FOOTING AGAIN Fidelity Loan and Trust Co; City Fully Reorganiz SIOUX CITY, Ia, March 14.—(Special)) The reorganization of the Fidelity Loan and Trust company of this city practically completed. When it failed two months ago with labilities of nearly $4,000,000, it was a surprise to financial people the country over, for it had been regarded as one of the wcorns, President Joseph Sampson was named as receiver and went cast at once to lay before the representatives of creditors and stockholders a plan of reor- ganization. The company had old in Scot- land its debentures, drawing generally 4 per cent interest, to the amount of $1,200,- 000, and in this country it had placed $2,- 000,000 more, chiefly in New England, draw- ing generally 6 per cent. The examination of the business has convinced all concerncd at the company is solvent and can pay out It given time to collect its dues, ch interest on farm loans. Accordingly it been agreed that a new company shall be ganized under the name of the Fidelity mutation company, with the same capital as that of the old company, $500,000. This | will be exchanged for that of the old_com- pany at par, and an assessment of b per cent will be made to raise funds to mect immediate expenses. Then the old deben- tures will be cancelled and a new issue made in tbeir place, at the uniform rate of 4 per cent interest. These debentures will be di- ded into four series, falling due in two, four, six and eight years respectively. On this plan the company will be able to con- tinue business and make new loans, while it will give the time needed for a proper liquidation of the assets. Receiver Sampson will be at the head of the new company. It s announced that A. Gar- retson, the financler of the great railroad syndicate that failed in the Union Loan and Trust company crash two. years ago about $7,000,000, will return to Sioux City and become president of the new Live Stock National bank at the stock vards.

The properties of. which he was manager at one time represented probably $12,000,000, railroads, stock yards, terminals, trust and banking concerns. BLOSSER'S SAFE ha! or- Com- FINALLY OPENED. Nothing to Clear Up the Mystery Surround. Ing the Forger's Life. CRESTON, Ta., March 11.—(Special.)—The big safe standing in the office of the late L. D. Blosser, the Cromwell forger and suicide, in which it was hoped there were some let- ters or explanation of the mystery which sur- rounds the criminal transactions and the evident blackmail levied upon Blosser, was opened yesterday afternoon by Administrator Frank Stevens. All hopes of some light being thrown upon the matter were quickly dispelled and the mysterious gloom that sur- rounds the affair grows deeper, and in all probability no light will ever be thrown upon the tranzaction. Three sealed letters were found in the safe. They were addressed to W. H. Reynolds, Mark Blanchard and the Creston National bank, respectively. Not one penny of money wai found, nor was there a note tmong the contents. ‘W. H. Reynolds received the letter addressed _to him soon after the safe was opencd. Ho would not make the contents public, saying that it was private business between him and Blosser, and would not do | the public any good to kiow of the contents. He said, however, that if the administrator desired to see the contents of the letter, he would gladly show it to him. The letters ad- | dressed fo the Creston National bank and Mark Blanchard, have not been opened, but they will not throw any light on the affai The letters did not appear to have been writ- ten hastily, and did not refer to a pre-ar- ranged plan of the author to kitl himself. As the days go by it becomes more evi- dent that Blosser was blackmailed. It is now positively known that he did not speculate on the Board of Trade, Every cne who in any way knows of Blosser's affairs and knows of the desire to do right, which the man has always displayed in his trans- actiors, think that he was blackmailed out of his ‘money. The party who held the club over Blosser's head probably lives in Crom- well, but who either he or she is, will prob- ably never be disclosed. It is evident, ho ever, that one of Blosser's intimate friends to | wanted any of Sioux | | the Orchestral grand, 4 fect 6 inches high, 3 pedals, engraved panels, ivory keys, continuous hinges, choice of walnut, mahogony or oak and scarf.....euivinnns knows more that will lead to the disclosing of the (dentity of the blackmaller than he has told, and until he chooses to say more no clew can be obtained. Blosser carried $3,800 life fnsurance, of which $1,000 was in the Washington Lite, $1,000 in the New York Life and $1,800 In the Odd Fellows' Wnnuity. Mrs. Blosser will receive all of this amount he was making monthly payments on twenty eight sh of $100 each of building and loan aseociation stock. It is not known whether he had this stock in his wife's name of not. COMPLICATIONS IN THE STRANGE CASE of His Winesses Undor Charged with Perjucy.

PHILADELPHIA, March 14.—Prof. Thoms Eakins In his lecture on “Artistic Anatom the Drexel Institute has caused something of a stir by exhibiting a nude male model before a mixed class composed of young men and young women students On last Monday afternoon Prof. Eakins delivered one of a series of lectures with a model partly clothed. A woman art teacher who was present objected to the scanty clothing of the model. Prof. Eakins replied any young woman who objected to the model might retire. He then removed all of the clothing worn by the model. Scme of the young women hastily left the room and ~ the = others were apparently very much embar ed. A formal com- plaint was made to Prof. McAllister of the in- stitute. Prof. Eakins was seen at his home and asked if he cared to say anything in regard to the occurrence. ‘‘Why, this is the first time 1 have heard of any serious dis- satisfaction,” he said, “or that my engage- ment had been cancelled. I expected to go there tomorrow and lecture as usual. As to my exhibiting a nude model, why, I always o that when lecturing. 1 have not used a draped model in ten years, and I lectured before a mixed class right along at the Na- tional Academy of Design in New York. There are always some ladies in a class like this who are a little squeamish or over-mod- est, but it is not always the young and pretty oncs. I can assure you I only followed out my usual methods and have nothing to say in defense of those methods. Persons in such a class must expect the model in the nude! It is necessary to have it so.” s iiiain 1t "ER TOO OLD TO GET a Al Tele- dropped A Man Dropped De , March 1.—(Spec Barrow, colored, He had ser B remains have been TUDENT!
