THE JOURNAL. Entered .it the Posi-oilice, Columbu-, Ncb as second cl:ts matter. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 18, -l.sbO. The widow of Win. M. Tweed died at Paris ou the 14th. One case of eraall-pox was dis covered la6t week in Chicago. The news from Havana states that Gen. Grant and party sailed for Vera Cruz on last Friday. TnE governor of New York has signed the bill allowing women to vote for school officers. Sixtv houses burned at I'Ayot, near Foit, France, last week. The people arc left destitute. We learn from Sioux City of re cent date that small pox has broken out at Rosebud Agency. We learn that three brick build ings will soon be erected in Platts mouth on the burnt district. TnREE thousand laborers were on a strike for higher wages last week in the Connellsville coke region. James E. Boyd, of Omaha, the Republican says, will soon decide whether he will rebuild his packing house. Senator Saunders introduced a bill in the scuate the other day to abolish all duties on the importa tion of salt. St. Louis will contribute a ship load of provisions to the suffering people of Ireland. That is business in the right way. TnE Catholic churches in the dio cese of Chicago have contributed $15,000, and citizens $10,000 to the Irish relief fund. A deputy in the internal revenue collector's office at Dayton, Ohio, who was short in his accounts $10, 000, has absconded. Two men were killed and four dangerously injured last week at Montreal, by tho explosion of a boiler in a paper mill. It Ib staled on what appears to be good authority that an alliance has been formed between Germany, Austria and England. The two women who fought a duel with a club and pitchfork in Virginia last week have both died from injuries received. Director Gould of the observa tory, Cordova, Argentine Republic, ays a great comet is passing the sun in a northward direction. The steamer Fawn, very heavily loaded, ran into a bridge at John sonville, Tcnn., on the 14th, and it was believed would be lost. Scott Coor-Kit, a stock dealer, was on the 10th chloroformed, bound to hie bed, gagged and robbed of $3,000 at a hotel, in Brookville, Ind. The national association of wagon manufacturers at a recent session held in Chicago, agreed to advance prices ten per cent over last year. The Rev. Dr. Carhart,.of tho M. E.

John L. Robertson's drug 6tore, .at Sandoval, 111., was burglarized ou the 14th of $5,000 in money and pa pers, and then burned. Loss by fire, $10,000. Gen. Grant showed his respect and 6orrow for the death of his old friend, Borie, by remaining away from an entertainment given in his honor at Havana. President Hayes repeated his proclamation last week, warning persons not to trespass on Indian territory, under pain of removal by tho military, if necessary. Major Reno has asked the Presi dent to be allowed the privilege to resign, and the President has taken the matter under consideration and will dispose of it in due time. John W. Mackey, cf Virginia City, Nev., was asked the other day to give something handsome for the Herald's Irish famine fund. Tho instant response by telegraph was $10,000. Mrs. Brown, wife of the man re cently murdered in Indianapolis, has confessed that tho crime was com mitted by Wade, her paramour, who is now under arrest charged with the crime. The vault in the national bank building at Wcstport, Conn., was blown open one night last week by burglars, the concussion being so great as to arouse the citizens ; the burglars escaped with only $3,500. A Leigton, Pennsylvania, man last week visited his 'neighbor to explain away a scandal concerning his neighbor's wife and himself, and was shot dead by the irate husband before ho had finished his explana tions. Mrs. Ellen Fitzgerald, of Lou isville, Kentucky, aged about forty nine vearB,committed suicide on the 11th by setting fire to her clothing with a match. Her body was burn ed to a crisp. The sad deed was performed in a fit of depression. The Union Pacific R. R. Co. de sign in a short time placing on their emigrant trains handsome sleeping cars for tho special accommodation of emigrants. This will be a great improvement over former accom modations for emigrant passengers. It is claimed in relation to the crop of potatoes that with those which rot and are otherwise lost, together with the shrinkage, thcro is little doubt that between October and June the loss to the owner who holds them is not less than thirty " three per cent. The twin-cylinder car is a late in vention which promises to be a great improvement in the transpor tation of freight. The new car looks something like two farm rollers . with a platform on top. The load is placed within the cylinders. The weight lies close to the ground, and the friction is greatly reduced. Congressman Speer, the yonthfnl member from Georgia, while the subject of putting riders on appro priation bills was under discussion, proposed an amendment prohibiting riders except in the interest of econ omy, which met with a favorable reception from republicans and will probably become the future law of congress. It is stated on good authority from Yokohama that numerous changes of policy are attributed to the advice The rolling stock of the Sycamore' and Courlland, 111., R.R., which Jay Gould recently purchaeaconslsts -fn. niwrtlin onrl tl a ll r fii f ' Vl till UAL&Ul U..IA &.9.Us. . A duel between two women last week at Obancock, Va., resulted in"" the probable fatal wounding of both. Their quarrel was about a young man. Last week the Theatre. Royal at Dublin was entirely destroyed by fire. The fire was occasioned by"tho ignition of the curtains at their state box. .The Chicago Times will support Grant "as against a greater evil," and will support no man of either party who is not sound on finance and on the southern question. Last week the President and Mrs. Hayes gave their annual reception in honor of the diplomatic corps, It was one of the most brilliant ever given at the executive mansion. A recent dispatch from Dublin still gives deplorable accounts from some districts of the suffering of the people, but states that thcro is gen-, e rally a more hopeful spirit among the people. One D. M. Lamb has invented a method of making fabrics water proof, without affecting their ap pearance. The most delicate colored silks, feathers, laces, &c, are made to shed water. About a month since a man by the name of George Beck, buried his wife in the Lutheran cemetery at Queens county, "L. I., and last week went and laid down on her grave and shot himself. Secretary Sherman, it is slated, ha9 accepted most of the offers of U. S. bonds, amounting to nearly if not quite $11,000,000, which gives as surance of an easy money market for some time to come. The State Normal School building at San Jose, Cal., was burned on the morning of the 10th. The fireorig inated in the cupola, and supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The loss is estimated at $250,000. The city hall at Albany, N. Y., was burned on the morning of the 10th. When the dome fell seven firemen were crushed, one killed, and the others not expected to live. The loss is estimated at $100,000.. At Frankfort, Ky., on the 14th, tho river was rising at tho rate of a fool an hour. The lower end of tho city was flooded, and it was thought that before morning tho water would be in the stale house yard. Hon. E. B. Washrurne is gain ing strength as a candidate for pres ident. Neither he nor his friends are making ahtagOnists'Df any other candidates. He is the strongest second and third choice in the field at present. Robt. Adamson was found dead by the side of his bed in Omaha on the 10th. The .evidence was con clusive that he came to his death from delerium tremens induced by excessive drinking. He had resided in Omaha for ten or twelve years, and, aside from his strong passion for Hquor, was of good character and reputation. At RcnOjJNevada, last week, Tom Las well was shot and killed by Bar ney Fitzgerald, in tho Merchants Exchange saloon. The two men bad been playing cards during the night and had just stepped up to the bar to tako a drink together. No one knew of any preyioua difficulty be tween them. Fitzgerald was very drunk at the time. The- packing and canning compa ny of Hartman, Young & Co., of Omaha, has been in operation since last November, and 400 head of cat tle have been slaughtered and put into corn-beef. Three thousand cans can be packed in one day. The slaughtering capacity is from fifty to seventy-five head. Such an in dustry helps amazingly to build up a city. The report comes from Kansas City that the Kansas Pacific audi tor's office, fixtures and records will bo removed at once to Omaha, and that only the general superinten dent, and assistant passenger agent's department will remain hero with out material change. General pas senger agent Kimball and Auditor Gannett were at Kansas City arrang ing affairs to correspond with the new order of business. A severe wind storm accompan ied by lightning, thunder and "a heavy rain, visited Nashville, Tenn., on the night of the 13th. The wind blew at the rate of forty miles per hour, blowing down spires of churches, the inside brick wall of tho new custom house, carrying away roofs of private houses and other buildings, and sweeping off the third story of the Edgefield man ufacturing building. ., - Denver last week was having its first excitement over tho labor ques tion. Already twenty -one labor unions have been formed. These met in mass convention on the 14th to take steps to organizo a trades' assembly, with a voting strength of nineteen hundred, and a commercial patronage of $125,000. Tho meeting was enthusiastic but orderly, and was attended by fifteen hundred people. Brick Pomeroy and several other persons addressed the meeting. Cue object of the working men is to start an afternoon paper with Pome roy at the helm. . , . ? A Visit to lavid City. On our arrival in David City last week, wc were astonished to'seo so much imnrovoment, in the "place -since ourfirst trip to tho city, some three month's ago. The completion of the Lincoln Northwestern rail- xpaA to thatjpointhas certainly bocn UI VUSl UU11UUI IU luc iunu onuiaiu- rounding country. The hotels are crowded night and day witfi'traVeT ing.men the Commercial hotel is one of the best in the state ; the table is spread with the very best the market affords and Mr. Ackley, proprietor, jparjes no pains to make his guests comfortable. The business men gen erally seem to have aB much as they can do, and on every hand thore is evidence of growth and prosperity. We found the referee court in ses sion, Hon. W. II. Munger, presidiug, and from the number of lawyers preseut, one would' judge that tho District Court was in full session, as the cases were numerous, and of considerable importance. Having nothing special to do, wo wandered into tho court room, found the judge and counsel trying the case of M. E. Smith, A. J. Crittenden, plain tiffs, vs G. W. Steele and others as defendants. Messrs. Robherts and Steele of David City, and Mr. Hart, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, represented the plaintiffs, atid Messrs. Dean and Garfield represented tho defendants. Mr. Wakcly, short-hand reporter was present, aud took down tho evi dence. Mr. Hart made a fine argu ment on tho closing of the caso, and his anecdoto about the "bubble ou the sea," was one of tho best things it has ever fallen to our lot to hear. Mr. Dean, in his argument made tho best effort of his life, and produced numerous authorities to support his side of the case. Mr. Garfield closed the case for defendants with a short, but strong, and pointed argument. "Mr. Garfield "is noted as the "cool- headed champion of tho David City bar," and a more kind hearted and accommodating gentleman can not be fonnd beneath the broad canopy of heaven. The uext case called was Smith and Crittenden plaintiffs vs Frank Stiner and John Stiner do fondants. Same attorneys for plain tiffs in this case as in the first. W. S. Gcer and Messrs. Dean and Gar field for defendants. In this case a stipulation was signed by the plain tiffs'to the effect that the suit should bo dismissed by the plaintiffs, and said'" stipulation should havo the same force aud effect as though the caso had been tried by the District Judge, and the issue found in favor of the defendants. The defendants seemed to bo exceedingly woll pleas ed with the manner in which this case was disposed of. Beforo tho next caso was called, we got on the train homeward bound, and left court, counsel and clients in their glory. d. c. Our Kichlaud Letter. February 13, 1880. Ed. Journal : We still have some sickness in the neighborhood. William Woods's only son died last Saturday evening at six o'clock, after an illness of only two days. Ho was a bright little fellow of four years, tho pet and idol of the house hold. Their bereavement is all the more hard to bear as thoy aro com paratively strangers in the neigh borhood, having 'only moved here last fall from Ohio. They havo the sympathy of the entire community. Little htind9 are softly folded; Little feet forever still; Heavenly Father, help them bear It. Bid them love Thy holy will. Another young English gentle man arrived on tho 10th hist, at Mr. Payne's, weight eight pounds, Literary last- evening at Bourn holt's school-house. It was a most pleasant and entertaining affair; indeed it could not well bo other wise under tho excellent supervision of the teacher, Mr. G. T. Sprcpher. Wo learn that another child of Mr. Woods is lying very Bick with lung fever. Also a little child 'of Mr.Keifer's. The surprise parly given Miss Jennie Coventry, in honor of her birthday Iat evening was an eujoy able affair. Among the guests were our county superintendent and nino others of the school teaching frater nity. Mr. and Mrs. Coventry uu "dcrstand making their guests happy. All passed off pleasantly and the guests took their leave in the "wee Bma' hours ayant the twel'," wishing Miss Jennie many happy roturns of the day. Gleaner. Arbor Day, April 91, 1880.

B. Washbnnie, tho New york Times makes the statement that Grant had not and would not accept tho presidential nomination, but if the convention nominated hiiii'lie would accept the honor, and that in -his foreign wan derings he had never written to any one regarding the presidency, nor did any of his friends communicato with him on the subject. The abovo from tho Omaha lice, sounds exactly 4ike Grant. If Grant is a candidate for the next Republi can nomination, all the Chicago Con vention will have to do" will simply be to declare the foregone conclu sion. In our opinion, Graut will never consent to scramble for the nomination. Ho is, perhaps, not averse to receiving the nomination at the hands of his old friends, but if it comes it will be as before, with overwhelming force. A shout time since C. G. Law rence of Brattleboro, Vt., and his son Frank, of Chicago, arrived al Grand IM.md this state. The son reported the father insane. Last week tho old gentlemen suddenly and mysteriously died. Strong sus picions of foul play and some evi dence that the old man had been poisoned. The son has been arrest ed and is now confined in jail await ing his examination, which will be held on tho 21th. The only motive for the horrible deed was supposed to bo the desire to obtain large life insurance policies which the old man held. Seroeant Glover, company B, second cavalry, of Ft. Keogh, Mon tana, was last week in pursuit of a band of Indians who had killed one man and wounded another a short time since on Mezpah creek. He came up with the hand near the head of Pumpkin creek, when quite a skirmish ensued, resulting in the death of two Sioux and one soldier killed, and one wounded. Luther B. McKinnev shot and killed Jacob Fry at Peoria last week. The trouble grew out of the separa tion of McKinnev and his wife on tho ground of his ill-treatment of Mrs. McKinney, who after separa tion went to live with her stepfather Mr. Fry ; McKinney attributed his wife's conduct to the influence of Mr. aud Mrs. Fry. McKinney was immediately arrested. PUBLIC SAIE OF MORTGAGED PE0PEBTY. BY VIRTUE of a chattel mortgage executed by Heiken & Seburg to "The J. M.
