CITY CORDIALS.
Easter entertainment at the M.
church tonight.
Spring vegetable are rapidly ap
pearing in the market in quantity and
variety.
The lawn mower has been rcsurected
from iU winter rusting place and is
grinding off the first crop of blue grass.
Grant Ensign a leading livery and
hack line man from Lincoln, was in town
t aula j for tho purpose of purchasing
horses.
A clothier in Lincoln named Sein
mons has in his show window "Pigs in
Clover" illustrated with five little pigs in
an exact duplicate of the puzzle box, and
a boy with a whip to work it out.
U. R Kempster returned ou the flyer
Iut night from Grand Island where he
has been for two weeks erecting a pipe
organ in the new Episcopal church there,
which is a beautiful structure and just
completed.
A number of young people gathered
at the M. E. church last night an 1
placed handsome decorations to give an
inviting and cheerful appearance for th?
Eibter services to be held there tonight.
After the song and literary service, deco
rated Easter eggs, button hole boquets.
et2., will be for sale.
An abundant supply of tramps has
been around all the week. The winter
was so light that they are an exception
ally robust and healthy crop this spring.
As long as there is a show for a ".hand
out" their politeness is exceedingly ex
ceptional, but they often become rude
when politeness fads to work.
Plattsmouh will, in the course of a
few weeks have a chance to redeem her
self on the pontoon bridg question.
Col. Stewart says he will be here in May
with new propositions to the business
men, which cannot help but be accepta
ble. II 3 reports the bridge at Nebraska
City in sound condition and in constant
use.
An ordinance passed at last week's
session of the city council is thj cause of
another case for the coming term of the
district court. The ordinance ordered
the removal of the four large trees on
Main street at the corner of fourth. Mrs.
Charlotte A. Wheeler, owner of the fac
ing property his secured an injunction
to restrain the authorities from cutting
the trees down .until the case can b
heard in the district court; setting fourth
in her petition that twenty-one years ago
Sshe got permission from tlu mayor and
council to plant them and that now their
djstruction would greatly detract from
the beauty and value of her premises.
This spring seems to bring to Platts
niouth many opportunities of improve
ment, which are not beyond her reach,
ana many of them are being carried
through. There now seems to be a show
for securing an orphans' home here which
shall be an institution, conducted by tin
Masons of Nebraska. Such a home i
to bo established, or at least it is proposed
to start one. There will probably also,
in time be added to the home an educa
tional department, and it would be quite
an extensive benevolent concern. Such
a home in our city would be a worthy
one anil it is hop-?d the Masons and oth
ers who can, of this city will look out
well for her interests by inducements.
Tho eighth annual meeting of the
Nebraska State Pharm icential association
will convene for the second time in Lin
clon, May 14th, 15th and 10th. The
local committee are now at work making
the necessary arrangements in crder to
make this, the second meeting at Lincoln,
the largest and mst interesting gather
ing of its kind that has ever been held
since the organization of the association.
Last year was Lincoln's first opportuni!y
to entertain the association, and their ef
forts were crowned with success, but not
of the nature they propose to make it
this year. Prof. Nicholson, of the state
university has promised to give some in
teresting lectures, illustrated by chemical
experiments.

THEY DUG HIM OUT.
Tho tame" Tramp Is Arrestod
and Jailed and His Pals Plug
the Jail.
A Sot of Totfghs.
The "lame" sneak thief mentioned in
last night's IIkiiald as having led officer
Fitzpatrickiclia.se out by the water
works pump house, led him the other
way. Fitzpatrick and Walt Holmes fol
lowed him over to the Iowa side and ar
rested him at the end of the graded ap
proach to the 15. & II. bridge. The
thief tried to walk the bridge but the
watchman fired him and he went below
and was rowed over in a boat. After
arrestiug him oflicer Fitzpatrick left him
in charge of an Iowa constable, shackled,
and came back for assistance.
The man gaye his name as "Collins"
and was not going to come without a
requisition from the governor, but John
ny was too old for him. Messrs. T. W.
liiddle. Jim Fitzgerald, Geo. Hillings
and a blacksmith named I lacker, ac-compani-j.l
the oilicer back in a boat as
deputies. 'Collins" was very much dis
pleased with the idea that he was to be
removed to Nebraska, and without
requisition(!)t but that document was not
harped on any longer when he was being
pulled along to the boat. On this side
of the river during the day "Collins" hud
begged around with a crutch and aced
lani'., but after his arrest liis lameness
was suddenly healed and he fought like
a mad wan; swore, cursed and threatened
to kill. It must have been a comical
siht to see Deputy Kiddle and Officer
Fitzpatrick with Collins" hands hand
cuffed under his legs, and a boat oar
pass ;d between them like a "beef" as
they carried him to the boat; and today
the deputy has a badly "pealed" hand
from "Collins" shoe. But the prisoner
was finally gotten into the boat and
brought to Plattsmouth and landed in
jail. During these proceedings "Collins"
four pals hung around town and watched
to see if he would escape, but after he
was lauded in jail the officers supposed
they had "pulled out." But not much.
This morning a large hole under the
north foundation of the jail and another
chopped through the floor accounted for
the '"lame" man's absence from the city
part of the jail. His "pals" had, after
midnight (for then Officer Malick made
a final visit to the jail and all was se
cure) came to the jail, du? through, the
foundation and cut up through the floor
and let their imprisoned accomplice es
cape, and of coursa they all cleared the
town together before day. "Collins"
was the only prisoner in the city depait
inent and of course was the only one to
escape. The removed brick are nicely
piled up for the city to replace at its
pleasure, as the bums are through with
them .
It is also learned that thesesame parties
two nights before, almost tore the station
houe at Pacific Junction to pieces. One
of the gang was arrested and jailed and
in the night his "pals" from the outside
cut their way through the frame build
ing and let him out. They are evidently
i verv hard set ot fellows.
CHURCH SITE SELECTED-
Tho Presbyterians will Build on the
Corner of Cranlte and
Seventn.
Last evening the Presbyterian church
society met at their church building on
Main street to consider what lot should
le selected on which to erect the new
.hurt h building. The lots under con
sideration were those belomnnir to Mrs.
Patterson, corner Main and Eight, the
old strode property, corner Oak and
Sixth, and the O. 21. -Streight property,
corner Granite and Seventh. The
.-jtreight property was the choice by thirty-three
votes out of fifty-six. These lots
are !0xl 19 feet and cost 1,700. What
the cost of. the church shall be is not yet
known, but the building will be a com
modious and beautiful church structure, -which
will be equal to the demands of
the city.
Eyesight treated at Gering & Co's.
