1ipon a charge of having disposed of mart-
gaged property , Several years ago ho cx-
ecuted two chattel mortgages In favor of Fl
E. hart upon a team of fine hiores , a carri-
ego and cultivator and nil that lie might
raiao on hits farm that season to secure a
loan of $250 In one case anil $100 In another.
Ho managed to take care of the first note
'when It came due , but the second one he
concluded not to pay , and within thirty days
from the titno he executed the mortgage ho
o't ! the property , The fact was not dle
covered until a short time ago , and theit a
warrant was lastied for Coonoy's arrest. Ito
was bafily frightened at the certainty of
going to the penitentiary and vas anxious
to make a compromlee until his attorney
looked over the Information and discovered
that the alleged crime was committed on
February 27 , ISDI , . and that conseueiitly the
prosecution was barred by the statute of
-"t. hitijitation. The motion to dismiss the case
- ' was suStained. anti Cooney lost no time in
getting out of the court anI out of town.

Justice Cook yosterjay rendered a judgment -

Howard IC. Clover. The suit was for the
: otIso rent. As soon as the jtidgment was
rendered an attachment was issued and an
officer dispatched to seize Clover's household
goode. The goods were loaded In wagons
and on the wy to Omaha before th judgment -
mont was rendered , and there was a race
between the officer with the attachient and
thi drivers of the express wagons. The
expresamen had the advantage of time and
distance and passed the center of the bridge
I . before the officer came up , and Clover for the
, time' being was safe from pursuit ,

cty ceuncil joined the phlgriniagc no.1 vIa'

Engineer Tostevin had a duty to pri'arm
yecterday afternoon that woe very unpleas-
alit to him. A resolution of the council directed -
rected that tue work should be giveis cny
to reshCents Cf Council Bluffs. During the
day hi dlecovcred ttat quite a number of
siseti and teams frosts Omaha were svorkiuq ,
and he wan cbhiged to discharge them ,

An examination of the outlete of tim two
principal sewers In the city shows that one
bf them , and the largest is filled so full of
mud at the end that It is nut dIscharging a
particle of sewage. The lower lde of it is
thIrty incIses beneath the flow point of the
creole. it wIll cost at leatt ; I,000 to clean it
out after the work on ( ho creek is finished.
While the members of the city council and
'ethers were looking oyprtho ground at the
PoInt whore thjt creek mpies ( into thin river ,
they arrived at the conclusion that the city
had made a mistake in snaking the ditch
connect with the river at a sharp right
angle. Where the current of the creek and
( ho river meet a strong eddy is formed , and
thio tendency is to form a bar acroz's the
mouth of the creek which serIously obstructs
( lie outflow of the sewage. It is possible that
the channel may some ( line be changed and
the crock made to empty mu , the river with'
an outlet extending parallel with the stream.
The coat. would be slight , as the property to
be condemned for right-of-way is not of much

Mr. Arnil I'OhsLEbOIItSiIflC flhIiIeiiIii's
Clint Ciiifi'Ohit the Hoard.
Unlea there is a chango' of heart among
the members the park board will probably
not do much If anything toward the proposed -
posed repaving of Pearl street.
That was one of the questions up at the
meeting of the boald yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Casper introduced the matter by do.
daring his preference for brick as a pavIng
material over asphalt. Ito quoted a recent
statement of the city engineer of Chicago
in which It was claimed that brick was
more durable and snore sanItary than as-
pl&alt and when properly laid was less noisy.
lie had satisfied himself of the correctness
of the last named claim and was in favor
of thin board declaring in favor of brick pay-
hog along Bayllss park on Pearl street ,
Mr. Arnd offered two cogent reasons why
he was neb very warmly in favor of makIng
any selection as to thio matter of matoiai
and was opposed to snakIng any financial
appropriation for ( lie purpose whatever , lie
said in the first place that it ( ho board
took money to pay for the paying on the
Pearl street sub of thin park it would es.
tabllsh a precedent and ( iso board would
be called upois to pay for similar improve.
moot on the other side of the park and on
all skies of the other parks of the city , It
was a bad precedent to establish. Then
there was a stronger reason. Last year
thio park commissioners borrowed $1,200 from
( lie sinkIng fund of Cochran park asid used
It to iiay for opening the new real to Fair-
incunt park. It was done with the understanding -
standing that the money so used should be
rofqnded out of the 1895 levy , When this
as done , Mr. Aend said , there would hone
no money left to pay for paving along flay-
lisa park or any other park , In view of
tl'is condition of affairs , Mr. Arnd did not
think It % as worth while far the members
of thin board to bother their heads about
( lie kind of material that was to be used
in paving thin Street.
Member harding tacitly , at least , agreed
with the views expressed by Mr. Arm ! and
the matter ss'as deferred until the next
meeting of the board.
It was decided to dIspense with the sery-
Ices of the joiiccmaii at Lake View park ,
Thin other policemen syoro re-elected , L. It.

A proposition to lease a part of Lake
View park to George \\Teat , who is now
living on tue park proporty. was discussed
and action deferred until the next meetIng.
A committee was appointed to investigate
and report ulon the hiounlary on the south
