Mr. C. E. Bell, who left the city a
few days ago for Andicott, Neb., re
turned this morning accompanied by
his bride. The marriage ceremony oc
curred yesterday at the home of the
bride, and was witnessed by a good
number of friends. The bride's name
was Miss E. M. Van Pelt.
A very neat little card which is be
ing circulated among the men of Platts
mouth bears a cordial invitation to attend
the Sunday afternoon meetings at the Y.
M. C. A. rooms. These meetings are
very interesting and well attended, and
the growing attendance each week will
doubtless soon raise a cry for " more
room which will be most encouraging
for tho association work.
"The Journal was favored with a

--Mr. A. R. Cavana, who was sleeted
chairman of the committee appointed at
the last meeting of tbe brotherhood of
locomotive engineers and fireman, at
Richmond, Va., visited this point yestcr
'dy and addressed a large number of
the strikers at their headquatters. The
boys say that the news deliyered to them
by him wa3 very encouraging and all
were iu the best of spirits last night.
They do not feel disposed to give any
reason for their cheerfulness, but they
wish to leave the impression that the
present outlook for them is very en
couraging, much more so than .outsiders
are aware of. Mr. Cavana took his de
parture for Chicago last evening. lie is
a very pleasant and well cultured gentle
man, and a credit to the organization he
represents.
. We are glad, for the sake of the mer
chants of this city.that none of them were
nt tho depot when the flyer arrived from
Omaha yesterday afternoon, for the
dealers in Christmas presents and holiday
goods would have been utterly discour
aged for the remainder of this season, at
least. Nearly every lady who stepped
from the train bore a stock of holiday
good on her arms which required a
good portion of her strength to carry.
When any one of thise people are ques
tioned as to why they purchase such
goods In Ouiah l, they will answer that
they are uMe to buy what they want
there, and that it does not .cost them as
rnurh. The difference iu price should
not indue,; pvoplc to spend their money
in Omiht. After all expenses are paid
for trauirtalioc ao'loihc-r incidental?,
nearly every on? will find when thej
total an that the goods have really cost
theai three or four dollars more than the
ame articles in Phttsmouth. For people

A Boy Fatally Mutllleted.
An accident occurred this morning
near the B. & M. depot which causes all
to shudder when they think of it. The
unfortunate victim was a boy about sev
cntecn years of age, a son of Henry Mob
ble proprietor of the Iowa house, locatec
on Third street. The boy was leading
pet dog to the depot by a rope and as he
reached the first track stopped to play
with the dog. At that time a train c
cars was being backed out of the yan
and as he had his back to tho train and
bis whole attention wes taken
up in the amusement, he did not
nnlieo or hear the cars. He
was struck on the right arm breaking it
and knocking him under the wheels
which passed over his right leg from
the ankle to his hip, leaving it
one mass of mutilated flesh. The poor
fellow was carried to his home where he
died at 1:20 this afternoon. His parents
are almost distracted with grief.
Meeting of the Fire Department.
A meeting of the city fire department
was held at the council chamber last

In theatrical matters New York City
