The most important news' th.it . has
beu. n.adu public for t , long time
past ia that which comes from Now
York city Friday through Mr. C C
lloustil , one of thu uoveruinuat d n r
tors of the Union Pacific r < ul.u y
This ia to the effect tint ; i couipam
rf eastern cupitdistshas been or i. <
ized to build another bridge across tin
.Missouri at this point , the aubscrip
tion list being headed bv Mr. Frank
Smith , of the well known Smitl
Bros , with 850 000. The company
will apply to coupress for a charter
immediately after the Holiday-
and as soon as that
is obtained will btgm work at once ,
and Mr. Housel s lys we will have the
bridge by August next. It 13 to be
a low bridge , with a draw for the
passage of boats , and will be both for
railroad trains and for horses , wagons
and foot passengers. It is very pos
sible that Captain Porter's right of
way will be purchased and form the
route to the new bridge on the east
side.
side.The
The bridge Is really built in the in
terests of the Omaha and St. Paul
road , but it means the inevitable dis
cuption of the Iowa pool and the run
ning of all eastern trains into Omaha.
Dis now conceded by all railroad
men , says Mr. Housel , that
the pool ia bound to o
under and that a very e.irly day. The
kV abash has already agreed to run into
Omaha and so have the other roads ,
ind the only thing which deters them
s the fact that the U. P. bruigc has
not sufficient capacity to accommodate
to great a number of trains. The new
iridye will obviate this uitliciilty and
with its early completion the
entire passenger business of
he Hoes centering at Spoon Lake and
) maln will be transferred to this city ,
.yliile the freight busineas will be
t-antacted on the other side. The
Council Buff ) < stockyards h-xvc , as is
Known , been sold by Messrs.
Swan , Paxton it Co. , and the
1) ill : of the Btock business will- return
o this side where it properlr Ir longs.
The wagon bridge will afford cheap
and easy transit between the two
cities , and it is regarded in the past
ind elsewhere as a mo h will
be of mutual banefit to Omaha and
Council Bluffs.
Another improvement in the facili-
ies for Omaha pasapngor travel is the
jutting on of a new , af'ernoon train
Torn Omaha east to avoid the present
rexatious delays here and at the other
lide. This train will be put on the
iret of the year.

A CHEOKEBED CAREER.
The Remarkable History of
One of Officer McClure's
Captives.
Hid "Pai" Goes Up f r Twenty-
five Years.
Our readers will recall the det ila
cf the arrest of Charles Montagu' " , In
this city , in August Ltst , which weio
not made public until a few vrueks
a'-o. Mon'gue : ws arrrsted on the
3 O
corner of Douglas and Twelfth , by
Officer McClurc , upon the printeo
ds : riptit > n sunt him fr. m Waterloo ,
Iowa , and turned over to
Sheriff Hazlott , of that pl-ice , who
was here t tl.e time , but had s 'rioua
. 'itibta as to the prisoner's identify.
About the same time hi * pal , Thninaa
Derani ey , was arrested at sioux City.
The charges against the tw.i men were
verserious. . They had committed
aevt-ral daring btitglirtes in
U aterloo , and at one of
he houses visited had outraged the
person of the lady , a widow , whom
they first robbed of a small sum of
money. A loathsome disease was com
municated to her in addition to the
shameful act of violence , and the pub
lic wai highly incensed at the guilty
parties.
Montague and Devanney were taken
to Waterloo and lodged In jail , and
their trial has but recently closed ,
Deputy Marshal Ben Westerdahl , of
this city , having attended as a wit
ness and just returned. Both men
were indicted by the grand jury on
five counts , two for burglary , one for
rape , two for larceny and one for at
tempt to murder. Devanney stood
trial and was convicted of rape and
also of burglary'and pleaded guilty
to the larceny charges. Montague
was allowed to plead guilty to the
charges of burglary and lirceny. On
the charge of rape Devanney was sen
tenced to be confined in the peniten
tiary at Fort Madison for the period
of twenty five year. ; , the sentence ! in
the other cases against him being sus-
p.-ndeJ.
In the case of Charlea Montague
the attorney for the defendant read
tne prisoner's affidavit , or confession ,
which shows that he has a remarkably
checkered career for the cast few
years. His riyht name is Frank
Pierca. He is only 18 yeara of a e ,
and until April , 1878 , resided wuh his
