TheProsident in Plattsmouth
The presidential train arrived here
about 15 minutes after one o'clock and
stopped at the depot about three minutes.
A crowd of about 500 men women and
children had gathered along the plat
form or in the btrect and a few had
carriages.
The train was composed of three elegant
drawing-room cars and a baggage car.
As soon as the train stopped the gate to
the rear platform of the president's car
was thrown open and Miss Jeannette
Livengston with a beautiful basket of
roses was helped to the platform. The
door was opened and the president and
Mrs. Cleveland stood just within. Miss
Jeannette entered the door and presented
the basket to Mrs. Cleveland and pressed
a kiss on her right cheek and then re
tired. The basket was the compliment
of Dr. R. R. Livingston to Mrs. Clevs
land. President Cleveland and his bride then
appeared upon the platform and the
crowd cheered separately for each, Mrs.
Cleyeland then withdrew to within the
door while the president shook for the
votes.
Mrs Cleveland is a very neat and pleas
ant looking young lady, and with her
husband smiled and bowed to the crowd
The old cannon which had been hauled
to the brink of the river was fired three
times but the report lacked vim on ac
count of the lack of powder, or else it
couldcn't belch for Grover. Just before
the train started, for some reason, it
backed a few feet and a little girl stand
ing in the crowd of men at the rear plat
form came near getting under the wheels.
When the train pulled out the president
remained in the door and waved his
hands at the people as he passed.

ATTEMPTE D BURGLARY-
Burglars Attempt to Break Into W.
H
Pickens' Residence Satur
day Nisht.
Greeted With a Bullet
Last Saturday W. H. Pickens, the well
known contractor and builder' received
a check of $1,000 from J. D. Tutt, which
he deposited in th .i bank and in the even
ing he received a transfer of deposit of
f 1500 from E. B. Lewis which he took
to his house, also having some 50 dol
lars with him, which he intended paying
a workman. His residence is on Wash
ington Aye., the tir.it house south of Dr.
Schildknecht's. and the lower floor is oc
cupied by Stephen Smith. Duriug Sat
urday night Mr. Smith was awakened by
some parties trying hit window, and
just us lie woke they proceeded around
to the kitchen door and attempted to
enter it, but it was securely fastened, and
they tried a kitchen window. Mr. Smith
was now thoroughly aroused to the fact
that burglars were around, and taking
his revolver he proceeded to the kitcken,
but the men - then parsed around the
house and he raised a window a little to
listen and look out. The raising o the
window awoke Mr. Pickens up stairs
who got up and took his revolver anil
stepped out on the etens, there he saw
three men passing along below him
lhey turned the corner and passed
around the house again. Mr. Pickens
tlien descended the stairs as quietly as
possible, but iust as he reached the bot
tom of the stairs the men passed the
window raised by Smith, and Smith
promptly fired but tho bullet struck an
air ball built in front of the window and
bounded back with tremendous force
just missing him and going all over the
kitchen. The shot fiiuhtened the men
away aud Mr. Pickens lost his shot and
the men escaped without any harm, and
the darkness and drizzling rain preven tec:
any description of the men from being
obtained.
The burglars had probably thought
Mr. Pickens had a good deal of money
at home, but besides the $50 and the
transfer check of 1500 was all, and
that was good only to him.
Council Doings
Council met last night in regular
siou, Mr. McCallen being absent.
ses
The
minutes of the two previous
were read and approved.
meetings
Mayor Simpson said he would depart
from the regular order of business, for
the evening and called for the report of
the board of public works in regard to
the sewerage bids.
Mr. J. W. Johnson, chairman of the
board of public works, gave the report,
which advised the accepting of the bid
of Shaw, Muihollan & Downing, of Kan
sas City, and that the firm tile a good
bond to the umount of $15,000.
Murphy moved to accept the report
and recommendations. Considerabl
discussion then cusued which was finally
ended bv the adoption of the' following
resolutions, presented by Mr. Murphy.
lttsolw.fl, that the report of the board
of public works be received and adopted,
and contract be entered into when (sew
erage) bonds are sold.
Dutton then moved the mayor and a
special committee be authorized to nego
tiate the bonds in Plattsmouth, Omaha,
or elsewhere, and named, with Mayor
Simpson, Messrs Weckback and Murphy
as the committee. The motion passed
Mr. Johnson then advised the council
to place a limit to the time for the com
pletion of the system after the entering
of th5 contract. A motion from Jones to
make it four working months passed,
find Mr. W. S. Wise, speaking for the
firm, said the time would be agreeable.
The bond of the firm of S. M. & D.
was then lead. It was for $15,000 and
bore the names of C. II. Parmele and J.
M. Patterson as securities. The bond
was accepted.
The mayor called attention to the time
and money tluit had been- expended in
going this far i th the sewer preparations
and recommended the employing of an
experienced engineer to oversee the work
and firm of Rosewatcr & Chisty were
mentioned. Mr. Chisty, who was present,
said it was not necessary to enter into a
contract with tho engineer till the con
tract for the construction of the sewerage
was drawn.
A petition was then presented from
residents near the corner of Oak and 3rd
streets. It seems that about a week ago
M. McGuirc, who lives on the corner of
Oak and 3rd, circulated a petition asking
that Oak and 3rd streets be graded at
their intersection. The petition was
given to the street commissioner, M.
Morgan, and he proceeded with the work
which was to be paid for by the poll tax
of the petitioners. The grade as petition
ed for would cut 3rd street badly, and
expose the water pipes to frost and the
chairman of the committee on streets
alleys and bridges saw fit to stop the
work. The petition presented asked
that the work be continued. After con
siderable discussion the city surveyor was
instructed to examine the matter and see
if the grading was proper.
A petition was presented asking the
council to establish an 'ordinance for the
protection of life and property from
steam boiler explosions, by appointing a
man to examine all engineers, who have
charge of boilers under powei. The pe
tition was granted.
A petition from several of our leading
merchants asking that the law in reference
to working on Sunday and running
stores etc, be enforced, was placed on
file.
The fin ancc committee then made their
report. O. M. Streight had a bill in
again for $7 for bedding horses, after
considerable discussion one half of it was
allowed.
A bill of Daniel Burris for shooti ng
and bury ing dogs was held for an item
