DISCUSS BOND MATTER Spitzer & Co. Oilers to llel'mul City's Outstanding Bonds. Council Decides to Take the Company' Proposition Coder Advisement for Thirty Ways yaestloo of Opening West Elm Street A ruin Uroaght l'p and City Attorney's Opinion Heard. At the regular meeting of the city lathers last night Mayor Tarmele was the only absentee. President Lutz mounted the chair and called the meet ing to order. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. A communication from Movers. II. U. Gering and W. W. Coatee, asking per mission to extend the show windows of their building the old Methodist church building eighteen inchos into the atreet, was read by Clerk Fox. On motion of Ilerold the request was granted. Another petition, signed by a num ber of property owners of South Tenth street, was also read. They asked that the alley in block 3, Donnelly's addi tion, bo opened. On motion of Hayes the matter was referred to the stroets, alleys and bridges committee The manager of the Hartfort Steam Boiler and Inspection company, who nas recently sent a man ueru iu in spect the boilers at the light station, had a report as to the condition of the same. lie found the boilers and en gine in fairly good condition, but recommended several slight improve ments. On motion of Ilerold the re port was referred to the light com mittee. Reports of the police judge and city marshal wero referred to tho police committee. Tho report of Clerk Fox for the month of August was referred to the finance committee, as was also City Treasurer Cook's report. The finance committee recommended the payment of the'bills against tho city, and, on motion of Whelan, the mavor and clerk were instructed to draw warrants for the same. The matter of compelling tho Mis souri Pacific to open West Elm street was again brought up. City Attorney Beeson reported that he had looked over the records on file and found an ordinance, passed at the time tho road was built, which practically gavo tho company the right to close and utilize the street for their right of way. Tie thought in caee of absolute necessity the city could have the street opened, but it must be at its own expense. The street in question is located about two blocks south of the depot. On motion of Dultery some grading was ordered done on" Fourteenth and Main. Tenth and Walnut, Fifteenth and Main and Thirteenth and Main Other repairs oruerou made are on Diamond street, east of First; on Gran ite and Seveuth, and on Hock, bet ween Eleventh and Twelfth. A communication from Spitzer & Co, the New York bond dealers, was read. It made the city a proposition to refund the 372,000 outstanding bonds at 5 per cent being practically the same kind of proposition accepted by tho city about two years ago. Patterson of the finance committee stated that he had examined the matter carefully and recommended that the proposition be accepted, but Fitzgerald thought this was acting with too much hasto and suggested that tho council take the matter under advisement at least until the next meeting to enable the clerk and city attorney to ascortain whether or not the bonds can bo refunded at a better figure than the Spilir company offers. Mr. Barnett a representative of the Spitzer company, was present, and expressed his unwillingness to have the matter delayed as it had been before, and went on to compare the financial condition of Plattsmouth with other towns. Ho also assured the council that if Mr. Fitzgerald's suggestion was carried out he would withdraw the proposition and ia case he was called back to tho city he would not make so good a rate. The matter was discussed at considerable length and it was finally decided, that, the council as a whole would take the prop osition under adriseiaent for thirty days. Mr. Barnett accordingly with drew his proposition, but it is not thought that he will carry out his plana in this respect. A motion to adjourn then prevail! ' Surprised Mrs. llowland..

HUCKINS ANSWERS Claims Iler lia.band lias No flight to Secure a Divorce. Mrs. Mattie Huckins has prepared an answer to'the application for divorce filed by her husband in district court, says the State Journal. In the docu ment she declares that all charges of extreme cruelty made by Mr. Huckins were double discounted by his own acts towards her, and she asks for the di vorce and alimony. She alleges that the plaintiff is a man subject to uncontrollable fits of anger and that in paroxysms of rage he has been accustomed to address her in very improper language, often humiliating her extremely in the presenco of friends by his violent speech. Further she states that when she was married in Sidney, la., she wa9 operating a res taurant and was worth $500. Of this she alleges her husband 60on became possessed and she says he soon dissi pated it with his manner of living till she has now left not ever thirty dol lars worth of stuff, and this consisting mostly of cheap furniture. In July of tho present year, Mrs. Huckins relates that her husband took her furniture out of her house surreptitiously and stoied it in a warehouse where she could not get it till she had worked for a moalh at dressmaking to earn the money with which to get it back. She claims that she asked- her hus band in a quiet manner to allow her to live with him in peace, but he as saulted her and caused a peace warrant to be sworn out against her in police court. She says she was acquitted of this charge after standing trial. Going into the matter further, Mrs. Huckins relates an occurrence at the Hotel Walton, where her hubband was prevented from doing her personal in jury by the interference of bystanders and that he was then ejected from the hotel by the proprietor, C. W. Kaley. She says ho urged his sixteen-year-old son to attack her with a case knife on this occasion. The defendant asks for an allowance of $50 with which to procure deposi lions from friends at Memphis, Mo., and she asserts that she should have $15 a month for her support. She alleges that her husband spends in i n toxica t ing liquors more all the time than would comfortably support her. NEWS IS It IK FIAT TOLL. C. A. Marshall; Dentist.

Burlington westbound passenger train No. 3, due in Plattsmouth at 3:31 p. m., was held up five miles west of Haigler, Neb., at 1:40 Wednesday morning by a lone robber, who secured about $400 in money, two diamond rings, one diamond stud, throe gold watches and other articles of minor value, all the property of passengers. A dispatch to the Omaha Bee from Denver gives the following account of the robbery: "The robber, flourishing a revolver, made his way through the car and forced has victims to hand over their property, theatening to shoot if they did not comply. "A good description of tho road agent was secured and Burlington officials at once offered a reward of $1, 000 for his capture and conviction.

"Officials along tho the lino have been notified. "The robber boarded the train at Bankelman, where a stop was made to cool off a hot box and taice on water. After the train left Benkelman he made bis way from the rear car to the Chicago sleeper and there covered Porter Bell with a revolver and com pelled him to start through the car, drawing back the curtains from berths. W. S. Tomlinson, the brakeman, was covered and compelled to pull back the curtains and wake the passengers. The robber confined his operations to the men and his orders were sharp and to the point."

Then came a message spying that 100 Woodmen had been killed. This was followed by another giving tho deaths at fifty. This was accom panied by a call for assistance, in re sponse to which tha sovereign, officers issuod a call to all camps in tlie coun try asking them to aid the etricken brethren of Galveston. In half an hour after the appeal was re ceived thft clerks in the sovereign of fice had contributed $50 to tho fund, which was dispatched this morning to local representatives at Galveston. - It is e stmated that the order will send $10,000 into the city within the next week. ' This sum does, not take into conside ration tae payrr.ent of in surance policies, which mr.y aggregate $100,000.
