In all of these par ticulars , It is claimed , ho overstepped his authority , and hence the deeds arc rendered void. void.Tho The land in controversy consists of about fifteen ncros , the vnlue of which Is estimated at $ lr , > ( K ) per aero , making the value of the whole about $ ' .

When the cose was called the justice stated that Edith Klsscll , the young woman whoso confession led to the arrest in the ilrs't place , had made a complete denial of the story which she had told nnd which had been sworn to before Justice Patton. As her tes timony was the only thing the prosecution had upon which to bnso their hopes of a con viction , the defendants had to bo discharged. Miss Klssell stated that the con fmlon was extorted from her by means of threats. She said thnt she had boon taken to thoofllcoof thechlcfof police , whorosho was kept until 11 o'clock at night , answering questions by thedozcn In regard to the affair , bbo was told , she claims , that if she did not confess she would bo tnlien to the penitentiary or some other terrible place that night , and as she believed what was told her , shocatnoto the conclusion thnt the only way to got out of her predicament was by making a clean livast of It.

Narrow I2sca | > : ; from News was brought to the Bluffs yesterday morning of a narrow escnpo from drowning which took place near Parks' mill , cast of the city , the hero of the occasion being Adolf Oilman , n farmer who resides about seven miles northeast of hero. Oilman was driving along the road a short distance beyond the mill who n bo came to ft culvert not far from the brldgo which spans the creek nt that place. When ho struck the culvert , In some way , ho does not know how , his IIOMU fell oil Into the crock , taking him ulonir. Oltmnnn drifted down thostrcam a short distance , and then caught on a snag that was p.irtlally hid den by the water , f lo was In this unpleasant predicament when ho was discovered by A. F. Clattorbuck , his son , S. A. Clatterbuck , nnd some of their workmen , The workmen were nt once dispatched for n boat with which to reach the man , tlio water being six feet deep at the place where ho was , so that wading to him was out of the question. Aftcr the men tun ! started for the boat , Mr. Claitcrbuck and his son came to the conclu sion that Ultmann was about to let KO his hold on the sung , so they sot about rescuing him In nnothcr manner. They fastened n rope to n largo stick of wood and throw the slick Into the water la such a way that it would. Heat to the drawing man. A few minutes later ho caught it and mustering up all the strength ho had , hold lo it with n grip Ilka death until ho was drawn .to the shore by bis rescuers , Ho reached the shore after being In the water Just n half hour. The cold water nnd the terror of the occasion had together af fected him until ho was so weak that ho could not stand , Ho was taken to Clatter- buck's ' house , where ho was cared for. Ho- yond bainc frightcnod half out of his wits and soaked to the skin by the fragrant waters of Indian creek his injuries wcro I on nil to bo found to bo slight , audit is thought that ho will bo nothing the worse for his accident in a day or two. Wanted Knit mount Park. Ella ICoefo , through her attorney , D. U. Dailov , cominencod a suit In the district court yesterday to gain possession of twenty lotsln the middle of Fnirinount park. When the suit was completed last fall In which tlio tltlo of ITalrmount park was nt issue , it was sup posed that the question had been settled once for nil , but tbo commissioners now see that thoywlll have to go through the ordeal again. Tbo defendant's petition Is quite a marvel ol brevity. it merely states that tlio property does not belong to tbo cl'y or to the park commissioners , and that it is wrongfully de tained from tlio plaintiff , who is the real owner , lly what right the plaintiff makes her claim it does not state. Mr. Graham % yas seen last night in tlio hope that ho could civo some clue to the matter. lie stated that no was m total ignorance as to what claim she bad on the land. Ho was reasonably sure , however , that she would fail to show any right to it , from the fact thnt the condemnation proceed ings had taken place cloven years ago , and that nny claim Unit the defendant might have would now bo outlawed anyway. The question of tlio locality of the condemna tion proceedings had beoii fuily Investigated at tbo previous trial , so that ho had no fears on that score. What new claims may bo made cannot bo said , but whatever they are , It Is needless to say that they will DO fought with all the legal talent that may bo neces sary , During the previous trialJudga Trim- bio.

The city council took a ride around the city yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making some Investigations relative to a pe tition which was introduced at the last meet Ing of the council for the grading of a strip of land in tbo western part of the city. The land In question lies between Indian creek and Sixteenth street and between Broadway and Eighth avenue. The property owners , or nt least a largo share of them , In that part of the city , have united in asking the council to have it raised to the established grade. No definite decision was arrived nt by the aldermen , and It is not likelv there will bo until the next meeting , hut the general feel- lug that the grading was needed. Tlio coun cil nlso went up to Commercial street to look at n washout which had been mudoou the street near the nolnt where itontcrs Fair- mount park. The washout Is still there.

It Is a peculiar case nnd the more thnt is found out about it the strnnpor it appears. Mrs. James , the first wife of the defendant was the principal wit ness In the trial on tlio sldo of the state. She testified that she and her husband moved to Lincoln county , Nebraska , with their four children , mid that after they had lived there for a time James decided to null up his states and come to the Bluffs. Ho-toUl his wlfo that ho was going to leave her , but she had not the slightest idea that ho had nny intention of securing a divorce. The llrst intimation that ho had such an In tention was when she picked up n paper which contained an account of the granting of the dlvorco , which was done by Judge Thornolt on January .Jr. , 18W , D. 15. Dnlloy being the plaintiff's attorney. Six days after the grantlnir of the dlvorco bo married his resent wife , Ella Kissell. As soon as K . Irs. Jaraos No. 1 hoard of the granting of the dlvorco she cnmo on and Instituted proceedings to have It sot asldo on the ground that she had not been notified thnt the suit was pending. As soon ns the case was given a proper hnarlng with Mrs. James oa the field to tell her story , the dlvorco was sot asldo. She then had her faithless husband Indicted on a charge of bigamy. There was but little evidence brought In hv the defendant to counteract the effect of this damaging testimony , The attorneys on both sides waved their argu ments. The Instructions of tlio court to the Jury will bo glvoa this morning. The ZMnrisiiN Fire. The Marcus flro still continues to bo a topic of conversation on the streets and n great deal of speculation is Indulged lu ns to Its origin , The presumption that the tire was communicated by the electric light wires supplying the nro lights has been brushed away by the electric light company and tliolr experts upon the showing that such a thing Is an absolute Impossibility on n closed clreiiit. If tbo wires should come. Into contact with any substance that would de flect the current It would produce a "groun d1 that woulu bo at once detected nt the central station nnd in all the lamps on the circuit. If thu contact should produce an are sutUcicnt to hum off , ono of the wires would bo In stantly broken , the wires rendered Harmless und all of the ik'hta put out. Insurance exports from Chicago yostortlay cleared up the mystory. An examination of the stove showed that it was the causa of the mischief , It is ono of the largest slzo Stew art pattern. Shortly before Mr. Marcus nnd bis clerks loft the building a hod of coal was thrown upon the flrutind the dampers turned in tbo usual manner , By some means the small door In the rear near the base , used for cleaning the soot from the base of the stove , became loose nnd foil out. This lutoricrou with the draft and prevented the gas llbor atcd from tlio coal In the steve escaping up the chimnoy. It was generated lu dense volume * nnd fo > : ; .iu n exit nt Iho top of the heater. . .and gradually filled the room. When Ittecamo sufllclently dcnso ( A mnko nn cxploiilvd compound it was ignited from the gas lot , burning in the front p.irt of the atoro. It waiihlsdenso mass of llamo that lllled everv phrfof the store that did tbo mischief nnu ntlrtlctod attention on the street. Insurance mitt say this Is n fre quent cause of lire. * , and U onuot the dangers arising from Iho use of hard coal la largo beaters. Tbo work of adjusting the losses has been nearly completed. To Mr. Marcus the losa will bo very heavy. His Insurance only cov er * about 00 per cent of tlio Invoice value of the goods , nnd after tha Insurance compan ies pay tbo full amount of tholr risks the merchant will lose heavily.

After a heated discussion the resolutions wore withdrawn ntthe urgent request of the Now York union , because - cause the Chicago delegates did not have any documentary proof of their charge. The proposition to join the Federation of Labor was finally ruled out of order , nnd tho. . reso lution to make low pitch the standard musi cal pitch of tlio United Slates was adopted.
