Watch for the eclipse this evening.
The sleighing is almost played out.
Nebraska weather is on ton this
week.
Mrs. Ami Todd i reported as ini
proving to-day.
' The moon will may some curious
freaks this evening.
It will take lots of work to make the
coasting carnival a success to-night,
should have been held last night.
A telephone dispatch from Counci
Bluffs states that that city will be well
represented at the carnival to-night.
The yoang man who received the
wound in the forehead at tl'C dance over
the river last night received treatment
this afternoon from Dr. Schildknecht.
His skull was slightly fractured but no
serious results are anticipated.
A party of young folks, consisting of
Messrs. 15. A. McElwaiu, Chas. Coleman

Horton, Lon Todd, and the Misses Gracie
Wiles. Ursula Wiles. Laura Shipnian. Ida
Foglesong, Anna Coleman, Ros; McCau
ley and Mary Buzzell, enjoyed a moon
light sleigh-ride last night, going out to
the pleasant and hospitable home of T.
J. Thomas, about three miles west of the
city, where a very pleasant evening was
passed in mirth and laughter until a late
hour.
It is rumored upon the streets to-day
that the gentlemanly firm of Messrs Tur
ner, Clarke and Hawson, of Boston, Mass..
comprising th Plattsmouth Water Com
pany, have disposed of said plant to the
Consolidated Water Co., of Boston. No
reason has been assigned to the public
for this change as yet and perhaps there
will be none. However, the rumor is
causing quite a sensation among Platts
mouth citizens, but The Hekald has no
reason to think but what everything will
be all right. And while we regret hav
ing to lose the visits of Mr. Hawson, who
has been so often among our people, and
upon whom we have looked with the
highest esteem and respect, yet we hope
that the new firm will be as business like,
agreable and sociable.
The Discovery of Coal.
It is now generally belieyecl by reason
of a discovery made a few days ago that
the question regarding the supply of com I
for Council Bluffs and Omaha is settled
for many years to come. The discovery
is a ten foot vein of cannel coal of a
bituminous shade, which has been traced
for more than five miles around the bluff
about nine miles south of the city. This
discovery was made some weeks ago, and
the persons interested in the matter have
kept it very quiet. This newly discover
ed coal is much similar to the regular
bituminous varitty, but by tha tests
alreadv made has demonstrated that it
will produce 100 per cent more gas than
the anthracite, and has much better oil
qualities. As a stove coal it gives great
heat, and is a ready burner. A syndicate
has already become interested in the mat
ter, among whom are .1. E. Hiley and J.
C. Heagan of Omaha. The new discovery
has also had a tendency to increase the
value of property in the vicinity. One
man who purchased eighty acres at $3 an
acre, stated that he would not sell it now
for 4,000. The investigations will in
the meantime proceed, and it is generally
believed that they will prove to be profit
able in the Qnd.0maia Herald.
Two Men 8hotin Bothlenam The
Swamp Angels Have a Racket
With the Young Bloods of Platts
mouth.
There was a- dance last night on the
Iowa side, at Jim Price's den, and an
even dozen of Plattsmouth's boys crossed
the Big Mund'.y, where they went for the
purpose of ha ving a time, and from all
reports they satisfied their anxieties. It
seems that a grudge has been existing
between the boys of the sand bottoms and
those of Plattsmouth tor a long time
past. Threat have been thrown out on
both hides, until last ni"ht it came to a
regular old-fashioned shot for shot row.
Shortly after the crowd from this side
landed at Pierce's the hoodlums of the
east side came in and informed the boys
that they would not be allowed to dance.
The west side boys replied that they had
come there for the purpose of dancing
and they proposed to do so, to which the
Iowa boys objected, and inyited the
crowd to leave or light.
A fter bombarding the house with clubs
and stones until the Nebraskans could
endure it no longer, they tried to per
suade the Iowans to leave, but to no pur
pose. Five shots were firod into the
Nebraska crowd, to which they respond
ed with a volley of twice their number,
two of which took effect, one ball strik
ing Geo. Ashburn in the neck, causing a
slight llesh wouud, and another tore the
flesh across the forehead of Eli Burchiil.
Neither case wasserious. The Nebraskans
came out ahead and danced until they
they were tired, imagining when they
reached home that they had whipped the
world.
Tue IIehai.d is not prepared to say
which party is to blame, but more than
likely there is fault on both sides. Such
conduct should be looked iuto by the
authorities and the parties severely pun
ished. T H E MOON'S ECLIPS E.
An Interesting Phenomena Visible
, Here This Evening.
A total eclipse of the moon will occur
this afternoon according to the predic
tion of astronomers whose accurate calcu
lations in the movements of the heavenly
bodies have been so well demonstrated
that we may look for the occurence of
interesting phenomena in the starry fir
manent with unerring certainty. Be on
the lookout for this grand spectacle this
evening. A lunar eclipse, ft3 is well
known, of course, is the obstruction of
the moon by the shadow of the earth.
The moon enters the shadow soon after
4 o'clock, and may not at that time be
visible here, but it can be seen when it
becomes total if no clouds interfere,
which is not probable at the time of go
ing to press, aud it will be 7 o'clock be
fore the moon passes out of the shadow.
These eclipses occur only at the time of
the fnll moon because the orbit of the
fair goddes of the night inclines about
5 to the plane of the elliptic.
It cannot be eclipsed more than twice
during the year, and it may escape eclipse
for an entire year altogether. The phe
nonenon occurrs twice during this year.
The next appearance is visible in thi9
part of the globe at midnight July 22-23.
Three partial eclipses of the sun will
occur during the year, but these are not
visible in any civilized parts of the
world.
Astronomical Progress During the
Nineteenth Century-
' Looking back to the year lfiOO,'' says
the Hidereal Messenger, " we are aton
ished at the change. The comparatively
simple science of the heavenly bodies
known to our predecessors, almost per
fect so far as it went, incurious of what
lay beyond its grasp, has developed into
a body of manifold powers aud parts,
each with its seperate mode and means of
growtli, fnll of strong vitality, but ani
mated by a restless and unsatisfied spirit,
hauiited by the sense of problems unsolv
ed ana tormented by consious impo
tence to sound the immensities it perpet
uallr confronts. Knowledge might then
be said to be founded by the solar sys
tem ;but even the solar system presented
itself under an aspect strangely differ
ent from that it now wears. It consisted
of the sun, seven planets, and twice as
many satellites, all circling harmonious
ly in obedience to a universal law, by
the compensating action of which the
indefinite stability of their natural rela
tions was xtcured. The occasional incur
sion of a comet, or the periodical pres
ence of a single such wauderer, chained
by planetary or solar attraction to pre
vent escape to outer space, availed noth
ing to impair the symmetry of the majes
tic spectacle.
"Now, not alone have the ascertained
limits of the system been widened by
1,000,000,000 of mile, with the addition
of one more giant planat and six statcl
lites to the ancient classes of its members,
but a complexity bus been given to it
constitution burning description or
thought. Two hundred and seventy cir
culating planetary bodies bridge the gap
between Jupiter and Mars, the complete
investigation of the movements of any
one of which would overtask the ener
gies of a lifetime. Meteorites, strangers
apparently to the fundamental ordering
of the solar household, swarm, neverthe
less, by millions in every cranny of its
space, returning at regular intervals like
the comets so singularly associated with
them, and sweeping across with the ve
locities, brought perhaps from some dis
tant star. And each of these cosmical
grains of dust has a theory far more
complex than Miat of Jupiter: it bears
within it the secret of its origin, and ful
fills a function in the universe. The sun
itself is no longer a semi-fabulous, tire

"Where the Credit Belongs "
An oversight on the part of the local
reporter of the Herald in failing to
credit an article printed in these columns
a few days ago, throws the Journal into
sanctimonious fit of cramps. If tht
IIehalp were in the habit of cribbing its
articles as some of its neighbors are. from
dailies not read by our people, and put
ting them in its own columns as original
matter, uot once or twice, but every week
almost, then there would be some cause
for complaint. The facts probably arp
that the Journal lamented the fact that
did not get to print the item in
question, having overlooked it until it
saw it in the Hbhald, and use this ruse
of reading the Herald a lesson, in order
o find an excuse for printing what Iih
become stale news. The very fact that
the article in question was taken from
the the Lincoln Journal, a newspaper
read by a great many people in this city.
would hava been sufficient evidence to a
clear conscience that it was simply a mis
take in failing to give credit. A profes
sional cribber, such as we have in mind,
never perpetrates this sin upon its neigh
bors; it is generally the New York Sun,
Danbury Neirs or some paper not read
in this city, that suffers.
