There were thn-o lodger * , but they had nothing about them to break the monotony that picvaiicd. The news tli.it Ctiiteau bad been sen- tcnoed to bo hanged was bulletined here Saturday , and created nine1) ) comment on the fctrcets , most of them being of u deci dedly approving nature. The cut on tli road leading to I'arkH1 mill and near Mr. CannonV house Is in a dangerous condition. Home of the em bankment falllug , nearly buried a team there theother day.

It is a two rin-.j sliow which offers many attractions , Mich an two Topsys , two Lawyer Marks , and bloodhounds , donkeys , etc. , in profusion. Many of the citizens had their atten tion attracted Saturday by the uuiHiial Holar Hlmw 'iu-ii olfHot ( , apparently an to tha biilliaut luniir display given a few evening ! ago. The sun could hardly do m well an the moon , but it prepentcd ono ring , a portion of another , and them in a pair of Bun-dogs. -Bill Qiiinu , who ttnrtled bin follow- boarders by filing mnue shots through the flo r Into the dining room , has been releas ed un payment of n fine. Some of his friends mid relatives claim that he is in- sane. If o ho nh'iuld be should bo care ' for , especially if he is so fond of reckless shooting a's1 he seems to be. Alderman Hpotman had bin official at tention called to a defective sidewalk in front of Mr. IngallfT property on Main 'Street the other day , the alderman's leg Rolog down through the boards. Such of ficial notice caused an order to be Issued for the necobsaryrepairs. . If the alder men keep on walking they irny discover a number of such defective sidewalkx. A German blacksmith named Ther- kilicHon bought aom'j ' her e-radlnh for his table the other ay , and in using it found that It was quile gritty , and felt queer In the mouth. Soon hUsiter-iu-lawBcroamcd aloud in g eat pain , and it wan iliscuvured tliat a bit of glass had lodged In her throat. It was removed with Homo diffi culty , and on examining the hone-radish it was found to bo full of little bits of glass , some of it very finely powdered. How it got there is a mystury. The bricklayers and plasterers met lii Saturday night , in pursuance with the call for a meeting to organize a union. Several - oral from the Onuha union were present , Including the president , William Tuttle. The attendance WHS large , and a mcmbor- hhip of over thirty was secured , who elect ed as olficerx : President , \V. M. Roper ; vice president , C. K. IXiwaou ; Mjcrctary , Ocorge Tremble ; treasurer , Wade Hopcr. It wa decided to fix wajes at $1 per day until Mareh 1 , and adjournment was taken for one week. Under the present city adminUration thoio wnsX ( > ndeil from April I , 1881 , to January 1,188 ? , nearly $52,000. At the last meeting of the council the warrants issued In January were rep rt d AS amount ing to over $10,000 that , , ho the total now amoun's to $02,000. an excess of JjyOfl over the expenditures of tiioprovlout year. If the present administration should go on until the ht of April at iU present riitc of upeed , $10,000 a mouth , they would reah the RUUI of pver $80,000 'or the year , Aa compared with the prevlourycar , $51 , . Cb7 , it look * as if the present fulmlniitrif lion was trying to see bow much It couli ! get away with. One gentleman wel posted In the city's finances asserts thai the expenditures of the present councl will reach over to $100,000 , when all tin outsUmUng bills .rj presented and tin open accounts balanced. _ Jolly Jollltloa. Atkinson's "Jollities" appeared a Dolmuy'a to u crowded house on Fri day evening , and gave an oxcellen feaat of fun under the caption u "The Electrical Doll. " The audionc was quito enthusiastic , and nppluug and laughter wcro Killed forth i gonuroua quantities. Among thob who did work especially worthy u mention was Miss Lilian Drown a the electrical doll , Frank Daniuls , a John Babbitt 'IVilt ; Stanley Felch oa the old man , Cornelius Twitt , am Miss Kate Chester.aa Cutty Rtubbina The entertainment constated of u mu flical absurdity , in which some reall fine inusio wra given , aomo of the aol work being ubovo the ordiiian ' There was plenty of mirth wisel mingled , and BOIIIO of the situation wore so comical SB to almost convuls the audience with merriment. BRIDGING THE RIVER- . Tlio Committee- the Two Oil ios Meet and Have an Buc mragiuff Cou- foronco , , The Dliloronco Between a OnrbloU Re port rind the Fncta In the Caao. \ i The committee appointed by the ' | bo.inls of trade of Omaha and Coun cil ninth met in joint session in the former city last Saturday afternoon. Colonel Sapp , of Council BltilFs , was chosen chairman , and Thomas Oib- son , KSIJ. , of Omulm , Hocrotary. The object of the meeting wna staled to bo to take stops which it was hoped . would result ultimately in the build ing of a wagon , foot and street car bridge between the two cities. j The question first discussed was in regard to the location of the bridge , and it wat expressed aa the unani mous belief of the entire joint com mittee that it should bo at the foot of llrondwiiy in Council HluH * and at the foot of Douglas street in Omaha. The question ns to which it wan best to build , u high or low bridge , was also discus ed , and during such discussion the lact of railway tracks on thu low bottom on the Omaha aide waa talked about. It was thought they might operate prejudicially to a low bridge , The inquiry was made as to thu height of these tracks ubovo low water mark , and it wna stated they were not more than five feet above low water mark. Tt was then ttug- godtcd that a low bridge would have to bo above high water mark , and that high water murk was twenty-two feet Mid eight inches above low water mark. For this reason nn approach might be constructed nn the Omaha side , so as to allow thu engines and cars to pass under the same. An in quiry was then made as to whorhor a bill miijht not be drawn so as to build either a high or a low bridge , in the discretion of the parties building the siunu , both plans being provided for in the bill to bo built in conformity to un act of congress , directing how bridgoi across the Missouri river shall be constructed , which act is now in force , and it was unanimously thought advisable to provide for building either n high or low bridge aa might be adopted by the parties building the name. Nothing whatever was said about building n bridge as high as Farnham street , neither was a plan propos ed by which it was to be built by the two cities , nor was anything said about aid from either of the cities. Something was said about aid from Vottawattamio and Douglas counties , but it seemed to be the ununimoiiH belief of both committees that if a bridge was built at all , it would have to bo done by private capital , and an a private enterprise. It was agreed that they would bo careful to see that a low rate of charge should bo specified in the bill to bo introduced in congress , as the maximum rate of charges , so as to make it ns near a free bridge as possi ble , giving to the parties only such remuneration aa would b3 just for the money expended. It was unanimously agreed that ten gentlemen should bo elected from among the citizens of Council Bluffa and ten gentlemen from the citizens of Omaha , as incorpor.xtora , whoso names should be inserted in n bill to bo prepared authorizing the construc tion of such bridge. The opposition to such u bridge was freely discussed and it was generally supposed that there would bo but little opposition from any source , excepting from the Union Pacific railroad , which now has a complete monopoly of all transpor tation and travel between the two cities. It is not true as stated in The Non pareil thit : Omaha made any demand of any kind in respect to said bridge. The proposition to construct said bridge coming from Council JJlull's the committee representing Omaha scorn ed to defer to the committee from Council lUulla , stating that they were in titter ignorance of what proposi tions were to be made ; that they sup posed the Council Binds people had matured plans and had agreed in the main aa to the con struction of the bridge ; that thop were willing and desirous of aiding in any way they could in such enter prises. It was also stated by them that they had citizens who would take stock , and it was stated by the com mittee from Council lilulls that there were citizens in that city who would do the same thing. These were the main topics talked over by these committees on Satur day afternoon , as TIIK BKK is informed by members of the committee repre senting Council Blufl's. I'm DKK is also informed that tc prevent any misrcprosontationt being made by the ne'wspapo'rs , in reaped to what was done at the moot injf on Saturday , the committee ap < pointed by the board of trade oi Coun cil Binds had the acting secretary ol that board accompany them to Omaha , and directed him to take full minutet of all that was said and done , but thii precaution does not seem to have boon as ell'ective as the Nonpareil in its is sue yesterday morning makes a wan ton , wilful and intentional miorepro sontation of what did tuku place , foi no other purpose than to deceive tin citizens of Council lilullH. Whothoi this was done to serve the Unioi Pacific railway company , and U continue its monopoly , thu Nonparei can explain. That tmch i.s the ell'ec no one can deny. TDK Bn : says tin Nonpareil willfully and intentionally misrepresented what took place bo Oman it waa informed that the citi editor of that paper had free aecos" to the minutes kept by Mr. Buird the acting secretary of the Counei Blutl'a board of trade. ' The insinuation in the Nonparoi that Omaha proposed a kind of bridgi or any kind of bridge in her interea is without any foundation whatever Most of tlio conversation was carrioi on by citizens of Council Bluffs during the meeting , and it in understood that not a single suggest ion made in le aped to the local ton of the bridge , the character of the bridge , or the means by which the simc should bo constructed , was opposed by the com mittee representing Omaha. Mr. .Joining : ) , of the firm of Stcclo it Johnson , Omaha , was invited by the joint committees to ho present , and was not there as a committee man , nor of his own motion , and the statement in the Nonpareil that Mr. .Johnson said "that Omaha desired and wanted a bridge that would bo above the lines of the tracks of the Burlington fc Missouri on the bottoms toms , and that a canvass of the busi ness interests of that city was in favor of liavinf the same at least as high as Farnham street at Ninth street , " ii utterly false in every line , syllable and letter. Mr. Johnson made no such statement. On the 'contrary , Mr Johnsoiigavonoopinion aa to whether the bridge ought to boa high ono or a low one. Ho spoke of the Burling ton & Missouri having procured the low ground uottth of FArnhnm street ; that they wore going to till the same in , but this is south of whore the proposition was to locate the bridge , Fnrnham street being south of Douglaa street. Mr. John son did state that he believed it would bo greatly to the interest of both cities to have a wagon bridge. _ It was also stated nt the meeting that wholesale merchanta in both cities Imuldcd a great deal of their merchandise across the river by wag on to MWO time. Tlio move for a bridge is one which interests greatly the people of both cities , and TIIK BHK feels , therefore , in duty bound o give the public the exact facts of this meeting in detail and at somo'longth , in view of the dis torted statements made by the Non pareil in its aUompt to throw cold water on the plan and deceive the public as to the purposes sought. The committees upon adjournment decided to meet in Council Bind * Saturday afternoon , the I'.Hh hint. , to take further otopH toward the seeming of this object HO much desired. CITY CHOW-CHOW. The Days of the Aldermen in Council Gathered. Some Interesting Reports From tlio City Otllcors. At the regular meeting of the city council Friday evening the mayor and all the members wore present except Keller and 1'hillipa. A license waa granted for a saloon in the old Creston house. A petition of forty citizens request ing the raisihg of the Ninth street ridge was grunted. A petition for a sidewalk from iroadway to Avenue B on Twenty- lird street was granted. A petition for a cross-walk on the oath aide of Sixth street and Sixth .vonuo was granted with equal readi- csa. csa.Mr. Mr. Shugart and Judge James ap- > eared in behalf of Main street prop- rty owners , and expressed a desire hat the contract for paving the street a not let on the 17th aa advertised , iut that the matter bo deferred un ti ftor it was ascertained what the water works company was to do. The iroporty o A nors thought it inadvisable o pave before the mains wore laid , as n laying these mains the pavement would bo torn up and could not be put 'n so good condition again. On mo- ion of Alderman Dawaon it was do- lidetl to open the bids as advertised , but to defer letting the contract until the first council meeting in April. The finance clerk , Mr. Abbott , pre sented a report showing the amount expended for different purposes since April , 1881. llecordor Hurko took occasion to prelude this report by say- "ng that sundry questions had been asked by the evening paper , but that all such questions were answered by just such a report as tlua presented to the council monthly. The report showed tlio amount of bills allowed by the council since April 1 , 1881 , to be Si7lU0.7 ( ( . Of this amount ? 2i27 ( was for salaries ot officers ; $4,2i ( ! ) for street lamps ; $ l-iGt for printing ; $1,81 ! ) for condemnations of right of way ; 82,11(1 ( for city onginees ; street numbering , etc. ; § 1,500 tor miaeella- neoua , including judgments for dam ages settled , etc. ; $5,7 < > 8 for police ; $11,01 ! ! for fire department , now steamer , tournament , etc. ; $ lli,128foi streets , alloys and supervisor ; § 0,7-17 for Union avenue levy ; § 1,005 , foi Fan-mount park ; 81,071 on account ol 1 Hood. Although this report was announced j to be the usual monthly showing tin council gave a vote of thanks for it. llecorder Burke allowed theamounl of warrants for the month of January to have boon $10,174 , The mayor expressed a desire tc have an inventory made showing whal property the city * had on hand tc show for the money that had boon ex pended under this administration. The chief of police reported IK arrests during Janaury , of which 5L wore for drunkenness. The fines col lected amounted to $214 , and 77.50 hud been worked out. The licenses * collected in January from 4 ! ) saloon keepers footed ui $1,228.00. Aldermen Dawaon , SpetmanChuro < hill and Unthank , were appointed committee to select polling places mill i judges for the ojmiiig election , A communication was presentee from J , W. Chapman and Hubert t Porcival , the delegates ehosen to gi to Washington to work in the inter ests of tint McOrcary bill , in whicl Council Blull's is included among tin eities entitled to appropriations fo new government buildings. Tin communication stated that a lettei hud been received from Sun Clark , of Keokuk , who \vua at wort for the same bill in Waahington , am that this letter was so discouragin that it was ih-uinod needless to have delegates sent frmn hure. The com munication a ! " s'n'c-'l Hiat Congress man llnpburn n l'i'1 ' for a snrcinl ap- mopriation fur a govtrnment building hero had been reported on favorably by the snb-r > nmittco , nml tlmt if any bill siicceedrd it would probably bo this one , instead of the MiCreary bill. They nlsosus csled that if any dele gates shall b H-Mit from this city , gentlemen hhall bo sent who wore in Jiarmonj with tiio prusont representa tive and could A irk wi'h ' him. The order imtructint. ' 'ho delegates to go \Vashinuton was therefore rescinded. Thoeiuncil onlimod tlio miyor's proclamation as correct in all respects. I was announced that a letter was expected from Col. Montgomery , ex plaining tlio m.Vter referred to at the last council meeting concerning his uxpcnsts as a delegate to Washington some years ago. The committee to investiuate the matter was therefore given moro time. Alderman Churchill reported that the cotilcmtmH n for widening Main street from Eleventh to Sixteenth Htu-ot would COHC about 82,000 , and recommended that it be made. Alderman Fnnda objected. Ho said that a the Inst meeting it was reported at 81,000 ; now it was $2,000 and over , nml > t the next meeting it would bo $5.M10 ( Hn moved to lay the matter on the tabln , and this was cariied , Aldermen Churchill and Spot- man voting no. Alderman Diwson va-Uod work on Union avenue stopped until the next meeting and have thn matter investi gated in the inranHmo t' > determine whether more shall bo done. The council had donu more work than usual at this time of jrear and there wcro many complaints. They had spent as much money as he felt ought to on spout , and it \ > us best to wait nnw until the roxt council and lot them hnvo a c'nttor ' at it Alderman Fonda thonuht they would got just , us much kicking for spending lit'lc as spending much. They might .T well KO the whole bnsi- IIHSS now. The avenue was needed and should in liuiahed. Alderman I'litlmnk saidthnr if they had reached the limit of the money he felt like stopping. The mayor suggested that this year's taxes had not been tested. They were just dri'sun : ; a baby , to which their predecessors gave birth. Thn work should go on. It was at last decided that Aids. Fonda , Raine and Unthank should look into the matter , with power to act. act.The The question aroao about the grad ing ordered on Main street. It was announced that the railway track would have to be raised before much filling could be done , and the track could not be raised until the frost was out. Mr. Baldwin had threatened to enjoin them if they insisted on raising the track. The mayor thought this ought net to flighten them , but the work should ire ahead , and lot Mr. Baldwin enjoin if ho wanted to. The matter was allowed to rest though. The tmall pox ordinance was defer red until the next meeting. The or dinance creating a fifth ward was laid on the table with no discussion. Aid. Churchill and Spolman alone opposing this motion. Aid. Unthank explain ed his vote by saying that while ho had always been in favor of a fifth ward , but ho found so many opposed to it that he favored laying it on the table. A cross-walk was ordered put across Broadway near Mr. Beobo's store. Adjournment was then taken. If any ono desires t > getany po itions favorably consl'end by the council , now ! H tlio accepted time to present them. The council seems too good-natuied to refuse any request now. It is Htrange what a mellowing influence a coining election his. In Good Spirits T.
