"I stood on the bridge atniidnigM," but I never stood a a pontou bridge. Well, then, attend the Board f Trade mat-ting tonight. "O, where is my boy tonight?" Do not fret, mother, he is in good company and enjoying himself at the ball given by the ladies of St. Luke's Guild at Fitzgerald's hall. The case of Sharplcigli, Cantvrcll & Co. vs. 31. Mt El train, constable, was argued and submitted yesterday. This case concerns the property of the Duke hardware htoek of this city. "Immodest language admits of no defense, for a want of modesty is a want of sense." Paste that in your hat corner hoodlums, and buckle your lip up two holes when ladies are passing by. There was a fire in Cubbison's block, Fairmount, at 2 a. m. yesterday niorniDg. Solomon fc Nathan formerly of this city had a utore in the block that was burnt out. Their los-s in stock is $33,000; insurance $10,000. Miith'w Arnold, tho eminent scholar of London, Eng., died yesterday of heart disease. His father died from a heart trouble medically termed Angina Pec toris, the same complaint from which Gen. McG'lellan died about throe years ago. A grevious and most pathetic' error, (perhaps fifty), occured in yesterday's is sue. In reference to the location of the pontoon bridge an article read: "Just 'north' of the railroad bridge." It should have been just 'south' of the railroad bridgo. The Sisterhood of the Earnest Work ers of B. L. F. and B. L.

A peculiar incident in relation to the death of the late Wm. Tucker was the presentiment of his elder son, who was living in Missouri at the tinie.be heard of his father's death before that sad occur rence happened. He dreamed one night a that he saw his father lying dead on a bsdstcad with a cloth covered over his face. In the vision he saw the room an-J all its surroundings quite distinctly. On Lis arrival in this city, three weeks after w be sorrowfully found his dream verified to the minutest particular. At a mettiag of tho school board a motion was carried to the effect that Prof. Drummond be authorized to tak such time as he thought fit for giving appropriate exercises to the scholars for the celebration of Arbor day, Monday. April 2:J. A sum of money was al-o granted for the purchase of trees to be planted in the high school grounds. All the children from every school in the 'city will be present at the high school on that eventful day and as many us pos sible of our citizens as can attend arc politely requested to be present to add a zest to the exercises by their presence. Ladies that are lovers of fine dresses, and a good play, should not fail to have their husbands secure reserved seat tick ets for "Pearl of Savoy" to be presented at the opera house next Thursday night by the "Eunice Goodrich Cempany." The play is a strong society comedy-drama, and will test the strength of the entire com pany, and a display of fin dresses. This Leingjthc first appearence of this com pany in our city, the local management wishes to assure the theatre-goin public that the company is first-class, and wor thy of your patrouagp. Playing at peoples popular prices 15, 23, 35, and 50 cents.

Sale of reserved seats for Thursday nigh, will commence todny, price 50 cents. The reserved seat sale for Saturday matinee will begin Friday morning. Matinee prices 10 and 20 cents. The Welsh Prize Singers. The Welsh Prize Singers were very poorly patronized la.it night there being only about one hundred persons, nearly all ut whom represented tha intellect and refinmeiit of the -city. There was no excuse for any person who laid the slight ed claim to artistic taste and comprehen sion of muNical sounds to be absent from such an entertainment unless it was sick ness, poverty or business. It reflects great discredit on any city when what is vulgarly called a "leg show" can fill every seat in a theatre, and a chaste, in talWgtnt and refining entertainment can not draw enough people to pay for the rent of the building. The receipts from that performance will throw a damper ou the future efforts on the Y. L. K. R. Association in that direc tion. Those ladies efforts night and day for the past three weeks, without any recompense, to make the show asuc cebs, bhould have met with the apprecia tion and support of all our best citizens. A great deal of the singing would have been received with more favor if it had not been sung in the Welsh tongue, as it was, the soprano song "I'll show you a pathway that leads to that king dom called home" by Miss Maggie Pur vis wns beautifully rendered. Every note was deliciously soft and sympathet ic, the higher notes being reached with fplendid ease and flexibility. Above all, and a usual exception to operatic sing ing, was the distinct manner in which every word was uttered. Miss Annie Hope sang the very old b dlad of "Punchinello" with its refrain, "Bravo, bravo," with marked effect and delicacy of feeling. Miss Mary Davies sang "Me and you old Dad" in a manner that attracted in tense interest and attention from eyery one present. All these songs were loudly applauded, in fact, every selection met with cheerful approbation from an appreciative and critical audience. The entertainment was par-excellence and beyond the slightest adverse criti cism. A Pleasant Surprise. Mrs. C. E. Thornburg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Tarsch, was ij the city yesterday visiting her parents. About five o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Tarsch were making preparations to return with their daughter to Omaha when some frifnds urgently requested the party to st.iy iu town over-night. The causa of this request was developed later in the evening at the G. A. K. hall where about sixty persons of both sexes including friends and invited guests had assembled to honor the "silver wedding" of Mr. and Mrs. Tarsch. What a noble recorf and fulfilment of Divine laws ! Twenty- lire years of happy married life with four children, twe daughters and two sons, to bless their union, and gather round them in their declining days. There were present at tho party many a modest youth and blushing maiden to whom that nuptial celebration will be as a guiding star in their future lives. Such instances of connubial love are the mora conspicuous and creditable as the time rolls on and the world appears to become more selfish, as is praved by the innumerable divorce cases which fill the columns of newspapers all over the country. Mr. and Mrs. Tarsch, may Father Time lay his hand lightly on your brows so that Providence may spare you to celebrate your diamond wedding to add more lustre to the example yeu Bet your children and those who regard your mu tual course through life With admira tion. Last Saturday's Lawlessness. We haye been severely criticized to day because we did not condemn the strikers more severely last night. The reason we did not, was because we want ed to give the officers a chance to arrest the guilty parties, but they were too slow and the men have left for part.3 unknown. Assaults last week because too numerous on the persons of new engineers, who did not dare come up town after dark with out being met by a crowd of three or four strikers, the result of which would be that the engineers would be slugged with a billy by unknown parties. In view of the condition of things ths mayor put on two or three extra policemen to se if the iaw could be enforced and about 8 o'clock policeman Buzzell caught a striker in the act of striking a new en gineer, about sixty years old, with a bil It; he arrested him and in return was struck by some one in the crowd with a billy, which caused him to let go ot the man he had under arrest, who then made good his escape. Later on in tire eyening an assault was made ou two strangers, who happened to be taking in the city, their heads being badly bruised up with the billeys used. About midnight another assault was made ou Mr. Buzzell by a m;in who sprang out of a doorway as he was pass ing by, at the same time receiving a shower of brickbats from two men he had just met. Mr. B. opened fire on them by filing two Ehots, at this several parties made their appearance and Mr. B. thought it was time to look out for himself and disappeared very suddenly. 'That's my Pop, it's not Loaded." It was only the ether day tnat we wrote an article about the foolishness of parents allowing their children to play with fire-arms. This morning a little boy nearly lost his life through another youngster being allowed to play with his father's revolver. The children were standing in Mrs. Jones yard on Main street and Lou Jones had a large re volver in his hand. The mother of the smaller boy (who is about four years of age) noticed Lou playing with the re volver, and thinking her child was in danger, requested Lou to put the re volver away. In return he poiuted the inuzzio of the revolyer at her and said: "that a my pop," and. Lou's mother jestingly remarked, "it's not loaded." Oh! I've heard that remark thousands of times said the other lady, you should'nt allow children to play with such dan gerous weapons, you don't know whether it is loaded or not until it is too late." With that she went inte the house leaving her little boy standing where she first saw him. In the mean time Lou had handed the revolver to his younger brother who deliberately struck the child a fearful blow on the forehead with the weapon. ' The frantic mother rau out of the house on hearing her child's screams to find him pale as a sheet with the exception of the crimson life-blood that poured down his face. The mother of tho boy that struck the blow, Mrs. Jones, asked her child, "What did you hit him for?" he defiantly replied, "I hit him!" If the reyolyer had been loaded he would have killed him. When a person sits down and calmly meditates over these frequant occurrences he is almost forced to the conclusion that he is residing among the Hottentots or Zulus on the coast of Africa, instead of in a country which boasts of freo schools. Is there no remedy for this crying evil? If not, whose child will be killed first? The B. A M. Assurance- To all persons tmphryed upon the Burlington & 2lisiouri River Railroad: The time has come when it seems pro per th it I should express to you all, who have exerted yourselves so zealously dur ing the late strike, the sincere thanks of the President and Directors for what you have accomplished, and also their warm appreciation of the trying aud difficult position in which many of you have been placed, and of the loyal feeling and de votion to duty which prompted the course you have so well taken. There have been many examples of unselfish and courageous conduct which cannot be forgotten. For the men who have come into our family we nsk especial consideration un til they shall have become fully acquaint ed with thoir new surroundings, and it should b understood by all that these men are here to stay with, and to become part of us, so far as they shall prove to be of good character and competent to perform their duties. Whatever syin- patny and kind feeling may exist among us toward many of those who voluntarily broke off their relations with us on Feb ruary 27th, we must not be led to forget our obligation to see that complete jus tice is done to every new man in the service. C. E. Perkins, Chicago, April 12, 1888. President. A Close Shave. Last evening, a boy about six Tears of age ran in front of a spirited team outside Mathews1 store on Main. He was knocked down and appeared rolling about nnder the horses' legs. The next moment he was on his back and one of the wheels passing over his neck, at the same time he twisted his body in such a manner that the wheel passed vertically down his body. A number of persons rushed to the scene thinking him dead They carried him into the harness shop of Dick Streight and washed his face. He was unhurt, with the exception of a few bruises and cheerily remarked "they were a'going pretty lively, wasn't they," as he left for his home. It was a most mirac ulous escape. A lady postmistress was asked, not long since, why it was that the mails were so much delayed of late. "Indeed, sir," said she, "there are so many of these pos tal cards for me to read that it takes my whole time, so that I can't attend to the mails." "Great heavens, womnj you don't pretend to read all the postal cards deposited in your office, do you?" said the anxious inquirer. "Why, of coarse I de," innocently answered the lady of ficial, "for as nothing scurrilous, ob scene, or wicked must be written on them, I must first read them myself in order te ascertain whether it would be proper to let thm pass through the office. I stand here as a sentinel upen the watch tower to guard the morals of the com munity. Business is only secondary to purity and virtue. To read these postal cards I am detenninrd; yes, and care fully, too." Aron G. Barhydt ys. Thos. Coyerdale and F. A. Harmon is now on trial. This case has some connection with the Per kins house property. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. C. E. Thornburg left for Omaha last night. Hon. John Fitzgerald, of Lincoln, will be in town toinerrew. J. W.

E. church from being as largely attended as some former even ings.
