These petitions took the usual course of such documents , and were received and placed on flic. They would have rcmnlned there without receiving any fur ther attention had not the woiklngmon of the Sixth ward came In with a remonstrance iiiinic-rously signed objecting to the election of MrHardln on the ground that ho Is not a resident of the city. The Importance of tl Is remonstrance lies In the fact that It licnru the nouns of the republican workingmen - men whose votes carried the Sixth ward for Alderman Shubcrt and prevented the defeat of several other republican candidates at the March election. The least the council could do was to refer the whole matter to the committee of the whole for consideration nt the special mooting called for Monday even ing for the purpose. It has been ascertained that one republican member Is wavering nnd another Is not very solid , and thcso two added to the three democratic members will constitute n majority of the council that might bo willing to vote for the retention of Mr , Morris. But they are confronted by Another dllllculty that will bo hard to surmount - mount , Mr. Hardln was regularly elected , and the mere refusal to approve his bond will not bo eulllctent to keep him out of o III ce. If the bond ho has preee'titcd la a food ono ho can compel the council to ap prove It. If necfssary , by a writ of man damus. With the approval of the bond he Is In active pCBBCfoIon ot his olllce and can only be oiuted In the manner proscribed by lew. which permits removal only for cause , In Mr. Hardln's case there- will bo no grounds upon which to base the UBUB ! charges of malfeasance In ofllco. The only other nvcnuo open through which he can be dflvin from olllce Is the attack upon his clt- Uins'ilp. Altogether the outlook for a happy solution of the problem at the meeting on Monday night la not very promising , con- el lerlng the threatened revolt of the Sixth ward republicans.

CASES COMMENCED BY COOK Litigants in the Lurch as the Result of a Sudden Death , LAWYERS DIFFER AS TO THE PflOCtDURE Several liuiiortniit SnltN AlnioM Com pleted When the l.ulc Died MII > Himto He AHUM. Some doubts have arisen concerning the course f ncccrsary to be followed In the fu- tuio conduct of a number of cases started In Justice Cook's court prior to his sudden death. Dates were fixed for the hearing of these cases , several of them falling on the day of his death , and the others at subse quent dates that passed before J. W. For- rlcr , who wan appointed to nil the vacancy , took charge of the olllce. The plan pro posed was to note continuances on Justice Hook's doonct and revive the cases again 'n this way , but In the opinion of a mini- VT ot attorney this will not be legal. If his proves to be true , a score or more of oases that have been started and others that have been continued a number of times will have to bo started anow. Several of these c.ibrc arc Important civil actlors that have- already boon half tried , and others have been tried and submitted , and In all bills of costs have been contracted. Several are criminal actions of some Importance. One of them Is the case of the State against S. Labhnrt , charged with assaulting D. W. Otis with Intention of committing murder. This I'ns'j was tot for hearing on April 9 , a day or two after Mr. Cook's death. Justice Fcr- rler yesterday notified Lablmrt to appear for trial , and Mr. LabharU paid no attention to the command. Ilia attorney Is of the opinion that unless a now Information Is filed and a now ntrcst made Labhart cannot , agiln b brought within the Jurisdiction of the court , and Is confident that ho can clear his client on any one of several technicalities ihat are within reach , and which have arisen since the death of the Justice. One case was disposed of by the no.v Justice jcstelday. The day that Justice l ook died was fixed for parsing sentence upon Johnson , who pleaded guilty of stealIng - Ing coal from the Union Pacific Hallway company. The justice had partially written up the record and evidenced his Intention of fining Johnson $3 and costs.

Croiu-Ii-llii/lelt Aililrt-MNi-N tlic I'0ile ii f Council lllullN. Mrs. Crouch-Hazlett received very sub stantial encouragement In her effort yca- tcrday to organize the National Suffrage as soclation In Council Bluffs. A number of women attended the meeting In the parlors ot the Grand hotel at 4 o'clock , called for the purpose of effecting organization. Mrs. H. A. Ballcnger was chosen president and Mrs. S. Sackett secrctaiy. Before and aftei the meeting Airs. Crouch-Hazlett held an Informal reception and made a very favor- nblo Impression upon the women to whom she was presented. The rain Interfered considerably with the attendance at the mass meeting held lu the Usenmn building at 8 o'clock , but despite thieatcnlng weather the room was quite well filled. Mrs. Ballenger presided , and Intro duced Mrs. Hazlctt to the large Council Bluffs audience , and for half an hour the bright little woman from Colorado Instructed and entertained the audience. She pre sented the of universal cause suffrage In a most enticing manner , so much so that when the call was made for the enrollment of the name ! * of those who favored the larger lib erty ot the women every man In the house ulgned the roll. A majority of the women did likewise. Mrs. Crour-h-Harlctt explained the character of the state convention that will bo held hero on Juno 7 and 8 , and urged the necessity for a largo and active organ Izatlon to take caie of the delegates. Mrs. Crouch-Hazlett leaves this morning for the eastern part of the county and will liold meetings In Nrola , Avoca and Walnut ind will then go Into Mills county. When this work \a \ completed she will proceed to Marohalltown nnd Join Mlsfl Ella Wright ind the two will spend the time Intervening between that time and the date of the con- i-entlon In traveling throughout the state ioldlng meetings In the Interest of the move ment and the convention. SLANG 01. ' COM.UGK GIHLS. CriiHli , " "llend Suiicli-li" a ml other Tt-rniM IilMiroHHlvo of MiKlont MfV. College girl slang is not often heard out- ildo ot college walls , relates the New York ! un. To outsiders It IB chiefly interesting jccauso It gives glimpses of college life. Pake the word "prod , " for example. A 'prod" would scarcely be met with except n the college world , although prodigies nlRht. It Is uhvajs a question whether a ; Irl who Is called a "prod" receives the term n approbation or dlsguot. There aio two orts of "prods , " ono receiving the term rom pure brilliancy In some particular line ho other for general stiidlousncss. The lat er are the meet Irritating , for they are ol- ajs ready with answers In recitations , while ho brilliant "prod" may be on the ordlnarj 'lano ' of Intelligence when out of her par- Icular sphere. She , Is a "prod , " through no ault of her own. A distinctly woman's col- i > 8lato word is "crush , " expressing a rcla- lonshlp between two girls hard to define ( no girl , generally an underclassman , and Bually a freshman , becomes much attached : ) another girl , ordinarily an upper-class Irl. The younger girl Is "crushed" on the thcr , sends her ( lowers , and tries In varl- us ways to give expression to her admlra- lon. The "crush" soon passes over , the dinlrcr finding some How in her Idol , or Iso , as Is oftcr the case7 tlio "crush" at Jiigth loses Its > outhful sentimentality , and Dttlcs down Into good friendship. . If , however , before either of these states re reached the object of the "crush" gets eary of the devotion , she resorts to what i college parlance Is known as "squelch- ii' , " the highest form of which Is a "d. B. , " r "dead squelch. " This method Indeed has ftcn to bo employed toward freshmen , liethcr "crushed" or not , to teach them Heir proper placo. There is an unwritten nt well-established decree that upper-claes Iris shall nlwajs bo held as superiors. At : io flist of the jcar. for Instance , before : io entering class Is thoroughly at home , It ould bo n decided breach of etiquette > r a freshman to ask a mighty senior or jnlor to dance. She must wait to be lu lled. But the freshmen well , they don't ndcrstand all these Important points , but Judicious use of the "dead squelch" will -ach them a good deal. In much the same category with slang re the abbreviations rife at college. Lit- rotuio Is always "lit , " psychology "psych , " Ictlunary "die , " The abbreviation most In 10 minds of the girls at present Is that reade > J monster , "exams , " Volumes might written concerning the blue state of the tmoephero during the time when every ono looking forward to the "exams.

When a steam < r Is.plowlng Its way at sei or In a harbor In broad daylight and cleat weather , Bays the New Tork Herald , the passengers do not concern themselves about the difficulties ot navigation , In fact , many of them would be Inclined to doubt that there were serious problems to be solved by the captain In making his way from wharf to wharf or port to port. U looks so cany to run from one place to another nnd to keep out of the way of other vessels. liven at night nnd In fog travelers do not think that the situation Involves any great amount of anxiety , because they arc accus tomed to making vojdgca without mishap or excitement , and they give little heed to the difficulties that beset the captain , except , perhaps , to bless their landlubbcrly souls that they don't have to spend the night ex posed to tlio fog nnd wliid. It Is not dinicult to avoid another chip If one knows where ulic Is , and to locate the exact direction whence a sound comes solves the problem. It Is the result that lias been attained by an Instrument briefly mentioned In a recent Sunday Herald. The cophona Is n device that enables a mnn to sec with his cars. That may sound Ilko a Hlbcr- nlanlsm , but U pretty nearly expresses the fact. The Instrument consists of a brass box , flat at top and bottom , and concave on each side. In tlio center of each concavity Is a projcct- ItiB piece of brass shaped like a very protu berant human car. In the recess ot this ear Is n hole leading Into a pipe about three- quarters of an Inch In diameter. Tlio cophotic Is set on top of a pivot , and It can be swung all the way around with a very trilling effort. A rubber tube Is secured to cnch of the pipes lending from the cophonc and these tubes nt tliclr further end nro attached one on each side to a headpiece , so that when the operator puts the latter on his head his ears conic opposite the ends of the rubber tube. The cophonc Itself should bo placed In such n position ns to command an unbroken out look ahead and on each side , as far , nt least , as broad on cnch quarter. In practical use the operator should be In such a place that he may Instantly tell the deck odlccr the bearing of any sound he might hear. Ift for Instance , a whistle should bo heard , the ordinary lookout frequently would not bo able to tell whence the sound came. Hut when the sound struck the cophono the oper ator would hear It plainly with ono ear and perhaps _ not at all with the other. Instantly fi'o would swing the cophono around until he ot the eaino volume of sound In cnch ear. Then the front end of the eophonc would be pointing straight toward the location of the whistle. Any everyday seaman can deter mine the bearing of the noise producer In three seconds Thcro Is nothing requiring special education In the operator. Any sea man with good hearing can work It with certainty nnd rapidity. The arrangement of the headpiece prevents the operator from being confused by noises close at hand aboard his own ship. He hn.s an Instrument that gtcntly augments his hearing , while It also determines whence a sound comes. Several times , while experi menting with the eophone , the operator has reported hearing n distant sound long before It was audible to persons on deck. IIH HAS A I' The OIIIt'M < -i-K-r liiti > H Ilnvlc to Wiifth- liiKtmi'N Day. The scramble for ofllcc that Is now going on has caused Robert Lincoln O'Drlcn , a Uoston newspaper man , who Is fond of "delving deep Into musty lore , " to recall the days of President Adams , the first of our chief magistrates to acquire office as n party leader and on party Issues. Mr. O'Drien finds that Philadelphia seems then , as now , to have been something of a po litical etorm center , and to have contained a good many citizens anxious to serve their country for a reasonable consideration. Frederick A. Muhlenberg wanted to be treasurer of the mint , and took pains to ex plain to the president that "a series of mlo fortunes to a son-ln-Iaw of mine occasioned by French captures have affected mo very materially , and being at prcsant out of pub- llo employment , I have both leisure and Inclination to attend to tlio dutlca of this or any other office , whilst at the same time It would afford mo some aid In a situation I have never been accustomed to. " Apparently , ofilco was office with Mr. JIuhlenberg , whatever Its title , for after waiting some months he changed his course and became an applicant for the Philadel phia collectorshlp , but wag willing to accept either the naval officer's or surveyor's po- altlon. Nearly three years later , having failed In all his applications , ho appealed to President Jefferoon In like manner , at tributing his Ill-success with Adams to the hostility of Oliver Wolcott. Another Phlladslphla politician conspicuous at that day was the clever but erratic com missioner of revenue. Tench Coxe. He was turned out of office during President Adams' term on charges of political treachery to th-3 administration. He came back to Jeffer son with a pica that "the world sees me yet unprovided for yet unrestored my old office held by him that extruded me the best branch of It given to another. " He want d that place OF "something equally as good , " as our modern politician would put It. He scorned anything of a dignity un worthy of a man of his especial merit. "The trivial appointment of a commissioner of liankruptcy , " ho wrote , "nhlch Judge P. will have the power to render fruitless , will neither maintain my Iarg9 family , repair my substantial IOES nor restore me to pub lic honor and confidence. The offlco cannot produce $1,200 per annum , and la a very Jivoomfortablo and Inconvenient one. " SCIENTIFIC HUHGLAIIY. ii < -c < rlc-Hy KM a Moanx of Siifc Ilrcnlc- IIIBT iilid UN a J'roti-L-tor.

The "artl&t" who has icretoforo violated the moral and legal code ind abstracted the banker's bonds and hard ash from the safe with tbo aid of dyna- ' ulte. gunpowder or a steel drill , now belongs o the period In which burglary was far rom being a fine art.

The track from here to Clhc , ten miles , Is washed out about a third of the distance. Hndgcs arc gone In a dozen places. On the main line of the same road , from Cllvo to Add , there are sev eral washouts. On the Hock Island road , freight business west of this city Is en tirely suspended , and will not be resumed for three or four days. The Denver limited thumlcicd over a 150-foot iron bridge over Walnut crock , just norln of the city , only ten minutes before the bridge was carried out this morning. Another span bildgc and two pllo structures over the same stream were cnnled out. Passenger crvlce will be re sumed tomorrow and passengers AN 111 be trans ferred over these breaks till they can bo repaired. The Chicago Great Western road Is running no freights , and the passenger trains wuro not resumed till tonight. They will run on slow * time till the road can be put Into better condition. Several bridges wire taken out south and west of the city. The Kaccoon rl\er hero rose seven feet fixe Inches In an hour thU forenoon , and Is atlll rising. A laigc part ol the lower section of the cltj Is under water , and the levees and rallioail embankments arc alone pro tecting a laifio pirt of the manufacturing district from being flooded.

The mile kite track In the western part oi town Is Hooded , and all the barns and structures except the gro.id stand deslre-veil. I'olk county will suffer from $20,000 to $40- 000 losses to bridges. All the structures over Four Mile , Walnut and lleavcr creeks were taken out , and on smaller streams the same Is true. The roads are utterly impassable , and communication with the rural sections Is Impossible. Heavy rain fell all last night , and It Is raining tonight , so that the pros pect Is that the conditions , will be worse to morrow. All streams are still rising. ATLANTIC , la. , April 23.

Malice Is an ore-ntlal element In the cilitn > ot murder both at common law nnd uiuli'r our statutes. , . ? MaHce In common nccptanco means Ill-will against a IHTSOU ; but In Its liv'al suns. : It means a wrongful net done In.en- llotmlly without just cause or excuse1. IIousli against State , 43 Neb , 1UI , followed 3 The plaintiff In error was Indicted tor the murder of one Hambe-ll , a pisscmcer on a railway train , by displacing thu IKtuius of the railway track , thereby causing the wreck of the train and the Instant killing of llnmholl. Held : (1) Whether the pris oner In displacing the lixtutes of tln > lull- way track acted maliciously was a question oi * fact for the July to bo determined from all the circumstances and facts In evidence In the case ; ( i ! ) that the prisoner's state ments ns to the motives which Induced him to displace the llxturcs of the railway tr.irk while competent evidence were not conclusive In his favor that ho did not act maliciously ; (3) ( ) that in order for the kill ing of Jlambell to be murdur In the second degree it was not essential that the fvl- dence should show that the prisoner v\as possessed or a specific intent to either Iclll or Injure llambell or any other person upon the train. 4. When the fact of unlawful killing Is proved and no e vldcnce tends to show ex press mallce on the one hand or any jnstl- llcntlon. mitigation or excuse on the ether , the law Implies malice and the offense Is murder In the second degree. G. The Indictment against the prisoner - - _ plls oner was tried and convicted. He was put on tilnl at the February , ISH'i , term .ml tin- jury after hearing the evidence fulled to agree upon a verdict and was dlschaiped Held : (1) ( ) Construing sections 3JO and Sfl of the Criminal Code that the prisoner was not entltlc-d to be dlschaiged because not brought to trlul cither before the end of the second or the third term of couit In which his case was pending held after ( he Indictment against him was found. C. 13y the constitution of the fatnte the legislature Is Invested with plenary legisla tive power nnd the defining of crimes and prescribing punlbhmcnt therefor Is a legis lative function. 7. Cvcry legislative act comes before this court surrounded with presumption of con stitutionality ; nnd this presumption con tinues until the act under review clearly appears to contravene bomo provision of the constitution. 8. Section 83 of. the Criminal Code does not violate any proviblon of the constitution Said section Is not void for uncertainty because the crimes of murder In the first degree , murder in the second degree and manslaughter are not dellned In the proviso of said section. 9. A criminal statute Is not void for un certainty which prescribes as a punishment for doing a certain act the same punish ment \vhlch Is prescribed for doing anoth'r named act when the same criminal code defines the latter net and prescribes its punishment. 10 While It Is propr-r In a criminal case in defining a crime In an instruction to use the laiifiuiige of the statute descriptive of such crime , yet If the Import of the lan guage used in the Instruction IB the same as the statute , an Instruction will not be held erroneous because the language em ployed by the court Is different from the language of the statute.
