Ho alleges that the company was negligent In not providing praper fences to keep cuttle off the track. Two follows were seen to drop a bundle on Broadway , no.ir the corner of Fourth street , last evening. An investigation showed the contents of the bundle to boa pair of trousers with some money in one of the pockets. They were kovidently stolen , and are new " at the city marshal's ofllco awaiting a "call from their owner. The two men who dropped them are in the city jail charged with va grancy. Judge Smith held a session of the district court yesterday just long enough to decide the habeas corpus case of J. Heoder , charged with assault with intent to commit murder. II sustained the judgement of the court below In every particular and ordered that Hecder bo taken back to iho county jail for snfo keeping. A deluge of tears from the defendant followed this remark. Something of a sensation was caused in the teachers' Institute by the sudden faint ing of one of the young lady teachers. It was in Mrs. Ware's physiology class , and\ the teacher wound a handkerchief tightly around her wrist for the purpose of illustrat ing tha circulating of the blood. Her hand commenced to turn a sort of spotted purple color. The sight proved too much for the nerves of ono of the young ladies who had been watching the instructor's movements intently , nnd she suddenly fell over on the floor In a dead faint. An Information was filed by Chief Nichol son of the Firedopartment yesterday , charg ing A. B. Walker with a violation of the city ordinance which prohibits the use of any combusilbla materials in the building or re pairing of any structure within the fire limits. Mr. Walker's offense was in patch ing the roof of the building at 10-.M West Broadway , which was occupied by a man named Flood with a butcher shop. Walker claims the firemen tore oft some of the shin gle * with their hose , and ho merely replaced them , The case will bo heard by Judge McGer > ibis morning. John Bloom is suing Chris Nlolson , & farmer living u short distance from the city , as a result of nn unfulfilled agreement which the two men had.

Ho lived with NIolRon from October , 1800 , when the agreement was entered Into , until a year ago last March , when thu cruelty of Niclson nnd his family compelled him to emigrate. Niclson refused to support him any longer , . and as ho had disposed of the property which ho had received from Bloom the latter - . tor seemed lo have no recourse but to a court of law.

Retnni from the Stale Convention Jubilant , SATISFIED WITH THE PARTY PLATFORM Tlirjr Approm of thn Ticket Nominated ntiil Will Arroril It n Hearty Support In the Co ml u ? Election .V Vevr Uplnloni. The Council Bluffs delegation to the re publican stale convention returned homo yesterday morning , and a more Jubilant set of men it would bo hard to find. For the first time In years , the ronubllcans of Potta- wnttiunlo county ami of the river counties generally received the recognition for which they have been lighting at every state con- vc-ntlun since the workings of the prohib itory liquor law became generally known. The republicans of Council Bluffs have been in the front v.ink of the fight for the last six years , nnd , although discouragements met them at almost every t'irn In the road , they kept on , determined to bring about such a modification of the lltior | law now on the statute books as would enable them to rciru- late the sales of liiuors | , which , like the brook , seems to go on forever. Tlio local option part ot the platform was modelled upon the platform adopted by the PottawaUatnlo county republicans In their last convention , and contains , in suhstcnco the same statements. Tnd Pottawattamio delegates played by no means an unim portant part In Wednesdays convention , nnd they accordingly fell considerably elated over the action of the eonvcittion. Pott- awattamlo was in line for Jackson from the start , nnd on the second ballot , which gave him the nomination , there was but one vote for another candidate. llonrtlly Kmlorio the Ticket. The nomination of Jackson and the rest o ( the ticket seems to meet with the hearty approval of the Council Bluffspeople. . Ho Is regarded as one of the best speakers and most magnetic men In the state , and a red- hot campaign Is looked for , a thing that Iowa , at least from a republican standpoint , has not seen for several years. The follow ing are the views of prominent citizens as expressed yesterday : Dr. F. S. Thomas-1 like the ticket and the platform , and am glad to see that the republicans of Iowa aru coming to their senses. They seem to see at least that they are not running a Sunday school , but a IKjlllleal party. 13. E. Mayne It's all hunkidory. I tried to get four or live democrats to hot with mo on the result this afternoon , but none of them would do anything but talk. Gcorgo A. Kecllnc The ticket and the platform are both all right. For several years the prohibitionists have been insist ing on running our side of the house , and after wo lot them put up our ticket they went off and voted a ticket of their own. May as well cut loose now as any time. Frank Trimble ( democrat ) The platform Is all right if It is can led out. 1 look for a repeal of the prohibitory law , whichever part.\ goes into power. J. L. Tcmpleton We'll sweep the state. Mayor N. D. Lawrcuco And Pottawatta- mio county , too. llettor tlian Two Yrnrn Ago. II. II. Van Brunt Tliat suits me a good better than the platform two years airo. Jackson will carry the state , without doubt. W. H. M. Pusoy ( democrat ) You've got our platform at last. I'm glad we've done some good. It doesn't make any difference' now who is governor : state-wide prohibition will bo knocked out any way. Some talk has been made in democratic circles to the effect that the present stand of the party will divide the republican ranks nnd result in a largo increase of the prohibi tion vote and a correspond ing diminution in the republican. This is denied by re publicans who have looked the state over thoroughly. Although the platform will cause a slight defection in a few of the country districts , Ibis will bo more than made up by the enthusiam gaino.l in the counties which contain large cities , where .republicanism has been almost a last issue during the last two or three state campaigns. And no largo pulling-olT is looked for even in the strong holds of prohibition , from the fact that the only intention of the party , as stated in the platform , is to enable counties that can't prohibit to regulate and not to force saloons on all the counties in the state , whether they want them or not , as has been the aim of the democratic party for the last live years. KXl'LOslON. Prod Wc-lli Kfoclveierloin Injurle * In ni Afternoon lllnzo. Fred Wells , son of Dell Wells , who is em ployed OH the Fairmount park improvemencs , is lying at his homo on Kidgo stroat suffer ing terrible rgonlcs as the result of a tire in which ho was caught yesterday afternoon. Ho was dressing up the furniture in one of the up-stairs rooms with gasoline and the evaporation of the liquid had left the room : filled with gas. lie stepped on a matcti that had been carelessly left lying on the floor , and in an instant the room was full of burning ivapor. Ho seized I the burning bed clothes and carried them down stairs , but before ho could finish the Job ho had been terribly burned about the hands , arms , face and neck. It was also feared that Jio had inhaled the flame , and if this had been true ho would have had but little chance of recovery. His physician i , after making an examination , stated that hu had not been iulured internally , however , and thought that he wculd manage to pull through. The prompt action of the young man In carrying the burning bed clothes out , undoubtedly saved the building from serious injury. Tlio New Twin City l > yo Work .

GOVCHIO Walte of Colorado arrived nt Jamestown yesterday , and will deliver an address fron the Chautauqua platform on Sunday , ill occasion being Grange day. Uovcrnor AValtc , discussing the slivc question tonight , said the decline In the price of silver was because congress had lessoned the demand for the ore by taking away the right to coin silver. "If congress authorizes free silver , " he said , "you will see the price of silver go to $1.2U per ounce , where it was years ago , and all h 1 can't stoo It. The moment free coin age begins the price of silver will advance. " The Bovernor said no paper has yet done him the justice to use the "blood to the bri dle" sentence in Its proper connection with the speech containing It , though while in Chicago ho sent copies to all the leading papers. Ho , however , had nothing to re tract , and reiterated that it would bo better to wade in blood to any depth r.tthor than Imvo our national liberties destroyed.
