E. church will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the homo of Mrs. Dabb, corner of Main and 13th streets. Although yesterday was a Sabbath day of rain and mud, fair congregation gathered at the churches to hear the gos pel preached and for an hour's Divine worship. A woman with two children and a pet dog struck town this morning, penni less, and bound for Omaha. They pre valed upon the commissincrs for dinner and tickets to Omaha. The Weeping Water Republican suggests to the city council that brick pavement be placed on their streets. Con fidence is expressed in the Pressed Brick Co., of that city, to make the material. The Herald is pleased to note the reported improvement of W. J. Agnew. who was sent from here to the insane hospital at Lincoln several weeks ago, by Lis attending physicians, who have hope for his permanent recovery. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Purdy, residence on South Third street, yesterday held their silver wedding anniversary and family reunion. A large number of f rends were entertained by the family, and there were many useful and beautiful gifts. A grand campfiire was held at the G. A. R. hall Saturday night by the "old vet," the W. R, C. and the S. of V. The camp was greatly enjoyed by all; the ladies furnished lunch, the men furnished anecdotes, and all lent a hand in the music Anyone present at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association yesterday could not but observe the number of men gathered there for tin- afternoon gospel service for men only. The rain was pouring down at 4 o'clock, yet fully a hundred were present. Tin meeting was in charge of the secretary, and there several conversions. The "Boston Stars," gave a highly appreciated musical entertainment at tlu Waterman opera house Saturday night. Though the attendance was very small, the company proceeded with their part of the program in elegant style. Then were ten selections in two parts on the program, seven of which replied t heart encores in a most pleasing manner. Considerable complaint has recently been made to the city authorities abou' the manner in which Charley E. Ilubbal, the young man who was killed Decembei 31st in the B. & JL yards, was buried. The father says that the boy always ab bored the idea of being buried, and U. his desire to honor his dead son built it vault on t"p of the ground with a glas? facing, and placed the coffin containing the remains in this. To this manner of burial exceptations haye been taken, and today notice was served on the father ' requesting him to bury his son. A humiliating and troublesome blunder has been made by School Dis trict No. 2S, located northwest of Platts mouth. Last fall the school , house in that distsict was destrayed by fire. Tl e district proceeded immediately to hold - an election, and ambititiously voted $ GOO bonds for the erection of a new school house. Their school population is only twenty-three ana when this is the case the law provides they shall not vote bonds to exceed $500 so that the f GOO bonds are not valid, and the election 'is of no effect; the election will hare to be recalled and bonds voted not to exceed the $500, unless the school population can' be increasxl, even then another election will have to be held to tnnke $300 bonds good. The bonds were made out in proper shape and sent to the state auditor at Lincoln to be recorded where they were refused. The City Council Acts on tftroot Fillings and Other Business Saturday night Mayor Richey called a special session of the city council for the purpose of taking and devising means for the filling to grade creek beds, and any other proper business that might come before the council. - The mayor, clerk and til councilmen but Weckbach were present. A communication was read from Mr. C. SL Twias, who is now engaged in taking the school census, stating that if the council would make an appropriation for the purpose ho would take the com plete city census also. The matter was referred to a committee of three with the power to act. Mr. Dutto n introduced this resolution to the council: Resolved: That the board of public works be authorized to advertise for bids to fill the creek bed on all roadways on tho line of the sewer between Sixth and Seventh on Pearl: east side of Fifth on Pearl; east side of Fourth on Pearl; and that the city engineer be authorized to make an estimate of the cost of said work; advert ising to be done as soon as estimate be completed. Mr. Murphy seconded the motion to adopt the resolution, which carried, Mr. DutUn moved chat the street com missioner be instructed to hire a gang of meu to make the fillings mentioned in the resolution, under his direction. Moti on passed Mr. Shipman moved that the dirt to be used in filling Fifth street at Pearl, be taken from the hill on Pearl east of Fifth, on the most convenient place. Passed. A motion from Mr. Murphy that the street commissioner be instructed to hire a foreman for the work, carried.

PERSONALS. yes IB A. man surely don't know what trials of life are till he serves a term on the jury. A prominent business man of this city, who is on the jurv, and who loves sport strolled down to the depot this morning before court, and there found a party of sporting friends W. D. Jones, VV. II. Baker, A. W. White, J. Q. Richey, Jim Johns and Max Lemm bound for Lake VVambaunsie, Iowa, to have a grand hunt. The great occasion was explained to the juryman, and then tiie boys said: "Come, Tom, the judge won't say any thing." But Tom had considerable con fidence in the judge's idea of business and said no, he guessed he couldn't go this time, though it was a trying ordeal. The Iv. C. came and the party moved cd, leaving the juror ts the dictates of his conscience and the mercy of his fellows who might keep him out a week at a time. "Honesty is the best policy" and it may be the juror will get out all right yet. The next train from Omaha brought Mr. Van who was to have gone with the party, but got left, and intends to go on to the lake tonight. Ths juror learned of this, and he was seen today pleading earnestly with the judge on several oc casions for s release, that he might join Mr. V . Ami Todd was in Lincoln today. II. J.
