produced at this place when the sewer
men have completed their work in throw
ing up breast-works, at a much less cost.
Mr. A. Boswell, the colored divine
of this city, occupied the pulpit at the

will be well attended by Plattsmouth
citizens as those who have ever attended
any of the expositions are ever anxious
to return another year. This year it will
be more extensive than ever before and
those who attend can never regret their
visit.
Great preparations arc beinjr made
by the democrats of this place and Glen
wood for their anticipated grand rally
which is to be held there. No doubt
the disappointment and backsets
so frequent to the party in the past will
prompt them to a sense of their duty for
the coming event, and we trust, if for
no other reason than the sake f opposi
tion, that their efforts will be more fruit
ful this time. The date set for the grand
outbreak is the 13th of Sept. We would
like to see a democratic procession this
time.
The laying of the corner stone of the
proposed colored church which is t be
located on Oak street, between 10th and
11th, was witnessed by a large gathering
of Plattsmouth citizens yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock. Rev. A. Boswell, the
pastor of the colored peoyle of this city,
lias been an agitator of the building of
this church for some time and succeeded
quite well in raising the required amount
Several of our prominent citizens
have donated liberally to the good cause,
and the building will be erected as soon
as possible. The corner stone had a
large hole in the center of it for the pur
pose of dropping cards or envelopes
bearing the names of all who helped
them by contributing to erect the build
ing, so that the children of future years
when the church crumbles to dust may
find the names of their forefatheis in
their own handwriting. Three hundred
and seventy-five dollars have been raised
to assist them. Rev. A. Bt swell preach
ed a short sermon to the large audience
who manifested considerable interest in
the good move of the colored people of
this city.
Some of our readers will remember
an account given in this paper some time
ago of a fracus between a man by the
name of Tlios. Bryant and his wife who,
at that time, lived in the vicinity of this
city. During the quarrel the man pushed
his wife against a hot stove and caused
her to be burned severely. Troub'e and
quarrels have incessantly arose between
the couple until a short time ago when
the wife, declaring that she could no
lcnjer endure the abuse she and her
three children received from him, and
after securing the children, left his home
and came to this city to live. Since she
removed here he has visitjd her many
times and came to the room, where she
now lies on a sick bed, this morning. The
room is in an old building which is
known us "Patteison row." At present
the woman is very sick, with no means of
support and three children to care for.
Had it not been for the kindness of some
of the neighbors, she m being unable to
help herself as she has for the past few
days, starvation would certainly have
been her fate; but some of the people of
that vicinity knowing her misfortune, so
far, have been kind to her and supplied
her and her children with food. As often
as her husband goes to see her, and that
is quite often, she says it is only to tan
talize her, as lie will almost invariably
show her money and put it in his pocket
again with a 6neer. The doctor claims
that the excitement caused her by his un
welcome visits, renders her case, which is
critical, very dangerous. The authorities
should look into the matter.
Two c:n Assaulted and Ctabbed
Oy a Crowd of Touch-
Nino Men are Now Under Arrest for
the Crime.
Sheriff Eikenbary received a dispatch
from Cedar Creek last night, stating that
two men had been stabbed by a gang of
roughs. He left here this morning and
arrived there early enough to find them
all napping.
A gang of seven men, who had leen
spending their time and all their money
at Louisville hist Saturday night ''bowl
ing up," were on their way home, all
badly intoxicated, with a keg of beer
and other liquor in their buggy. They
created considerable disturbance as they
drove along, and attracted the attention
of an old farmer by the name of Bauer,
who lives about two miles west of Louis
ville. He opened his door to learn the
cause of the noise and was rather roughly
insulted by the hooting crowd. After
passing the house a short distance, the
whole gang returned and accused the
old man of firing a gun at them. They
could not take no for an answer and
were apparently bent on fighting. When
he saw that they were too crazy to listen
any argument, and were about ready to
seize him, he picked up a piece of iron
and struck one of the roughs over the
head, knocking him down. He was
seized by three of the men, knocked
down, stabbed in the face and back and
jump-d upon. His son, - who
had retired for the night, hearing the
noise, rushed to his father's assistance in
his night clothes, and being in his bare
feet, could not stand much show with
such a crowd. He was knocked down
and while falling, stabbed through the
arm by one of the gang. Their names
are Bauer, the father is 56 years of age,
and the son about 27.
The gang is employedjin a stone quoiry
near Cedar Creek, and are noted loughs
in that locality. One of them is sup
posed to be a murderer who has escaped
from the east.
Sheiiff.Eikenbary arrived this morning
with the whole party and lodged them
in jail here. Following are the names
Andrew ltaub, John Hagel, Bodolph
Long, Harmau Horning, Frank Nereded,
Theodore Stolk. George Stoller and Joe
Broauback, who were brought with the
gang, were arrested there for assault and
battery on C. M. Dietzel.
A jroung lady known as "Cady,"
who has worked as a domestic for sever
al Plattsmouth ladies for a short time at
each place, surprised one with whom she
has made her home for the last few days,
by her sudden disappearance and with
out leaving any notice or information re
garding her intentions. The lady she left
so unceremoniously, discovered that she
had carried away some of her clothing
and she, rightly suspecting that she was
about to leave the city, immediately went
to the depot in quest of the girl. She
found her there making preparations for
a trip to Burlington. When the lady in
quired for her clothes, the girl denied
having them and said that the had left
tl.cm at a house in the city. When she
insisted on her accompanying her to the
place, she was told that she had them on
The irate woman immediately demand
ed her to relieve herself of the burden,
which she did after seeking a secluded
quarter, and went on her way rejoicing
although a little disappointed at being
obliged to continue her journey minus u
couple of skirts and some ether clothing

date, Thanksgiving evening, and we

tha past have been the most successful
every time.
