MUST IV FOR THIS PAVING.
MoGcn KciulorH nn Important
DculNloti A alnm tlu : Motor Company.
An Important dccrco was handed down
yesterday afternoon by Jndjo | McGce , in the
cnsa of Maria Jackson against the Oinuha it
Council Bluffs bridge company. The ease is
Important , not because of the amount In
volved , but because of Its boliiK a test ease ,
which will virtually decldo a score or moro of
others. Tho'sult wus brought to compel the
motor company to nay about f 1WI for paving
between the company's tracks In front of
the plaintiff's property. The attorneys for
the defense combattcd thu claim on the
ground that the roud had boon built under
the old charter of lb ( > ( ) , in which there was
no provision for the paving between the
tracks. They also claimed that the company
was operating under the now charter of 18Si ( ,
in which there is such a provUlan.
The attorneys for Mrs. Jackson claimed
that the company must run under ono charter
or iho other , and could not pick out a section
of ono and u section of the other ns they saw
fit.
fit.In
In making his dccreo yesterday Judge
McOo stated that thcro was ono thing in
connection with the co.so that showed , to
him , nt least , that the company had built Its
line under the charter of ISSD. He pointed
out the fact that the charter of 188(1 ( granted
the company the right to build a branch to
any depot then standing or that might bo
erected thereafter. The company had
built a roud to Falrmount park
which , wus not a depot and that wus conclu
sive ovldonco that the now charter , and not
the old , was the ono under which the road
hud been built. Ho therefore hold that the
company was linblo for the cost of the
paving.
Attorney Baldwin asked that ho have tlmo

Horrible State of Affaire Brought Out by
Ooroner Waterman.
FEARFUL DEATH OF OLD MRS , WHITE ,
Surrounded by liidcaurb.iblo : Filth
and Hitinlor | Ituittcu by Her
Hon nnd Ills \\llo-ln-
Coming.
Mrs. Esther White died 'lost Wednesday
night at the residence of her son , William J ,
White , 1018 South Eighth street. The funeral
was to have occurred yesterday afternoon at
2 o'clock , and the body would have been
buried In thu usual manner had not strange
stones been circulated nt a late hour Thurs
day night by the neighbors. These stories ,
being brought to the ear of the coroner , put a
stop to the proceedings , end the Investiga
tion that followed brought to light a horrible
state of affairs.
William J. White , the son of the dead
woman , Is n well known chawctor about the
Blult.s. He Is known as the "charm doclor , "
and his peculiar method of medical treatment
consists of the local application of saliva.
Several yeais ago ho was married , nnd over
slnco that tlmo , according to the stories of
the neighbors , there has bocn blood on the
moon. Ills wlfo had no mo for the mother
In-law nnd vlcn versa.
Coroner Waterman made n visit to the
honso yesterday for the purpose of looking
around. Ho found thu house In a fairly or
derly condition , until ho asked to be shown
the room which had been occupied by Mrs.
White. On opoaing the door a horrible
stench greeted him The bed on which the
woman had rusted during her last Illness , was
ono mass of Illth. The rest of the room was
tilled with rubbish that exhaled a nauseating
odor. Vermin were everywhere , and In nil
the different varieties that uro known to
the naturalist. In the middle ol the
room stood a chair , on which were
two bottles. Ono was empty , whllo the other
contained about two teaspoon fills of am
monia.
In answer to the questions of the coroner ,
White said that ho find not called a physi
cian to attend to uis mother , as she would not
nllaw him to. Ito was very willing to con
sult a physician , but ho would not do so
against her wishes.
Ho stated that tbo clothing on the bed had ,
not been changed slnco last summer. This
too , was on account of the old lady's opposi
tion.
In reply to questions as to her death ho
suld that ho hud coma upstairs on Thursday
and hud found her drinking out of the ammonia
bottle that stood on the chair. Ho had at
once taken the bottle away from her. He was
unable to give much light on the subject of
the death Itself.
On going to the neighbors Coroner Water
man found enough rumors floating around to
warrant him In holding an Inquest. Seine
of the neighbors said that old Mrs.
White had been loft during the
past winter without enough to cat ,
ai.d to wear , and that at night she often
slept without enough clotning to keep her
warm. They bald that on ono occasion her
bunds had been badly fro/en during the
night. Some of them claimed that tnoy had
Tsnowii of White and his wlfo whipping the
old huly In a urutnl fashion. When asked
about this , young Mrs. White replied :
"Well , I never hit her so as to hurt her. "
The body of thu dead woman was covered
with big black and blus spots , which hud
evidently been caused by blows of some sort ,
but White said that his inothGr had been so
weak that when she tried to walk about the
room her limbs would often clvo wav. nnd
she would lull to the lloor. Ho thought
Durhups the spots might have been caused In
this way.
Coroner Waterman said ho thought that If
the old lady had not dlod of neglect , It was
only because seine merciful disease crept
in anil took her off before the neg
lect had had n fair uhnnco to get in its
work. Ho empanelled a Jury , consisting of
O. II. Lucas , W. H. . Hoblnson nnd C. Wcs-
loy. The Jury went to the roildcnco uud
heard the testimony of the man and the
woman , after which it adjourned , to meet
again this morning and resume the taking of
testimony.
Coroner Waterman intended to consult
County Attorney Organ , but that gentleman
was out of the city , so that It can not bo said
Just what further stops will bo taken. It Is
probable , however , that no Informations will
bo lllcd until the jury has ilnishcd Its labors
and has rendered a verdict.

An Attorney HUH nn KHCiiitmlo with
JudKC McGce ,
A. W. Askwlth of the law linn of Wright
fc Baldwin was summoned before Judge
McOcco yesterday morning to answer to n
charge of contempt of court. The charge
nroso from n llttlo occurrence which toolc
place In the superior court on Thursday af
ternoon.
Quito a number of attorneys and others
wore iirosonl when court convened this after
noon. They evidently felt considerable inter
est In the outcome of the battle which was
being waged between ono of their number
nnd the court. After a fuw matters of minor
importance had been disposed of , the con
tempt matter was called up. Oeorgo
F. Wright nnd John N. Baldwin were
on the Held to look after Askwlth's Interests.
Mr. Hiildwln handed Judge McUco a paper
which contained Askwlth's statement , The
Judgurcml it over and then cave his statement
of the case. Ho siiM that if u court was to
allow attorneys to challenge It to come out
into the back alley to settle disputes , the
court might as well bo abolished entiruly.and
the back-alloy style of settlement t > o adopted
In the Ilrst place.
Mr. Baldwin claimed that the court
had no right to Impose thu line , as the court
had not been In session at the time of the ou-
cnrrenco. Judge McC5co was not moved bv
the attorney for thu defense , and hu ordered
that Askwlth bo contlnud In the c'ounty Jail
for one day ,
Attorney Bnldwli. asked that time bo given
him In which to lilu a bill of exceptions , and
aUo that ho have tlmo In which to prepare a

As a goutlomau was pussintr the cigar store
of T. D. King & Co. lust evening at about 10
o'clock , ho noticed a couple of boys Inside the
store. Having a suspicion that all was not
right ho went to a telephone nnd notlllcd the
police. In a fuw mlnutw the patrol wagon
was on Its way to the plncu , and when It re
turned U contained : i small boy thirteen years
of ago. Ho gave his naino as Fruit Hanson ,
and bald Im was the son of the Janitor of the
Eighth street school. Another boy had been
Implicated in the burglary with him , but had
cscnK | > d when the ofllcer made the raid. The
name of the boy who escape , ! was Frank
James , who lives at the corner of Avoutiu E
aud Tenth struct. Young Jumes Is the
son ol L. C , James , who la iiow serving a two

.ho elnar store until within the past week ,
when no was laid oft ou account of lack of
work. Ho did not attempt to elude punish
ment by denying the crime , but said ho broke
' .n . to get seine cigarette * to smoko. The
lames boys will probably Do arrestort this
morning , and Judge McOeo will have a chance
to sond'a pair of unlucky boys to the reform

district court toJay rendered an Important
decision concerning the title of the Mason
City & Fort Dodge railway to Its right of
way between this city and Belmond. The
riuhtof way was originally granted tounothor
company which let It Ho unused for several
years and finally sold It to the Mason Citv &
Fort Dodge company. A number of the
property holders claimed that the use of the
right of way was practically abandoned and
brought suit to compel the present eomtmny
to remove Its tracks. The test case was de
cided In favor of the company , but an appeal
will bo taken to the supreme court. Judge
Young of St. Paul and J. F. Duncombo efFort

Chicago .Mr Ship.
Aerial navigation has buon agitated for
.undreds . of years , pud In proportion to the
Imo , talent and money whlnh bus baan da-
oted to It , less has actually been acenm-
hed than with almost any other icicntlllo
ir mechanical problem to which serious and
larnost attention has boon dircctol. It Is
into natural that the utmost curiosity should
, o aroused when an Inventor declares that ho
ias at last overcome nil obstacles , and has
onstructed a ship that will successfully
.mvlgate the air at n speed of 100 miles per
hour , and at all times bo under the absolute
: ontrol of the operator.
These are the claims nude for the Chicago
. .Ir ship that will bo exhibited next Sunday
ut the fair grounds , when Prof. King will
make a number of ascensions previous to his
sail to Chicaeo , which is announced to take
place at 4 : ! ! 0 in the af tornoon.
To have an Idea of what the air ship is like
all that is necessaryIs to Imagine a largo :
cigar flouting in the air supporting a small
boat. The sustaining portion of the ship Is
sixty foot long and about thirty fret hi diam
eter , tapering to a sharp point nt each end ! ,
and has a capacity of about llfteon thousand t
cubic feet of gas. Ordinary coal gas has u
iftlnp power of about thlrty-llvo pounds to ;
acli 1,000 feet , while hydrogen gas has
double that power. Hydrogen gas will bo
used Sunday to Inflate the buoyancy chamber ,
and It will bo generated with a portable gas
machine at the place of inflation , water , sul isl la
phuric acid , zinc nnd Iron llllngs and lo a
few other chemicals being nil that U re
quired. Attached to the lifting part of the
ship Is n wicker basket or car eight feet long
bv four feet wide. On each side of the bas
ket are largo wings or fans , capable of being
enlarged or tnndo smaller , and lowered or
raised to any angle or position by simply
manipulating two handle bars.
These fans or wings control the steering of
the air ship and exert the same Inlluenco
upon it that a rudder does upon a steamship.
In front of ttio car Is located what Is styled
a wind divider , built upon such a plan that
very llttlo resistance Is offered to the ulr dur
ing a Ilight through space.
At the roar of the car Is situated the
propeller , made of papier macho. This Is op
erated by a dynamo of two-horse power
located In the forward part of the car. The
dynamo also drives the balance wheel , 10n
queer looking arrangement fastened on the
bottom of the basket. This wheel resembles
a hollow corkscrew partially Hat toned out.
By it the operator is enabled to lower It.jr
raise his ship to suit hh own pleasure and
take advantage of the favorable air currents.
This Is the most Important pleco of ma
chinery about the whole thing.
