In accordance with the announce *
nont made , the joint comtnittoo of
lie Council Bluffs nnd Omaha boards
of trade mot in this city Saturday nf-
ernoon to tnko further steps in the
matter of getting a wngon bridge
across the river. Col. Sipp presided
and Thomas Gibson , secretary of the
) mnlm board of trade served ai BCO-
rotary. The Omaha board was also
oproaented by its president , II G.
Jlnrk , and by John Erun ? nnd Jos-
opli Sliceloy.
Tiio following wore agreed upon as
, ho ton incorporators from each city ,
vhoBO names ara to appuar in the bill

Some inquiries wore made concerti
ng the Saunders bill , mentioned in
elographicroportH , but no ono present
coined to bo able to give nny very
iciinito information ri gnrding it. It
was stated that lotturi * hud been writ-
on to representatives at Washington ,
eking about the bill , but no reply yut
oceived.
It was suggested that the next step
hould bo toward the forming of a bill
vhich would provide for a high or
ow bridge , with comli'intis attached
o each , so that thovj \ \ Im furnished
ho capital for the enterprise mil/lit
loct either.
The question of toll coming up ,
ilr. McCargor suggested that some
stimato should first bo made of the
ixponso of building a bridge , so that
ho rates might bo fixed in the bill at
reasonable rate.
Marshall Key urged a suggestion
nado by Mr. Clark thut the cominit-
eos nnd incorporntora sJiould meet
.ogethor and interchange views and
; ot BUggestions so that a bill might
)0 wisely drawn.
Mr Clark expressed it as his opiu-
on that the foolinu in Omaha was
nuch in favor of n railroad nnd wagon
> ridge combined , but on hearing thut
Council Bluils was mo vine for a wagon
> ridge only , they recognized the bon-
its arising from sucli a bridge and
vould co-oporato in that.
Mr. Gibson suggested that the Mil
waukee & St. Paul company was do-
irious of croasinc ; the riyor , and pur-
haps that company might build a
wagon bridge in connection with a
railroad bridge.
Mr. Evans thought that perhaps a
railroad bridge could bo built so that
it would cost the cities nothing ! for
the wagon portion.
Mr. MeOarger thought that if a
ailroad company was to have a bridge
t would only bo a repetition of the
irosont bridge. If built by a com-
mny , and the terms did not suit rail-
oad companies , they would not use it ,
nid it would bo an elephant on then
lands. The railroads would have the
; wo cities by the woo' ' .
Mr. Evans did not believe it could
bo built successfully as a wager
bridge only. Ho believed that at the
mooting of incorporators and committees
toes that enough safeguards could bi
put into thu bill , so as to control tht
Qiitorpriso and prevent any hardship
to the people , and secure all the ad
vantages which they had started ou
to gain.
Mr. Hart said thai the main objoc
was to got a bridge over which tin
people could cross at any time , onsilj
and cheaply. He moved that tin
conference suggested in regard t <
framing a bill bo held in Omaha nox
Thursday , ut 2 p. in. This win carried
riod unanimously.
Mr. Graham was in doubt whotho
a charter could bo got for a railroai
and wagon bridge within n mile or si
of the present bridge.
Mr. Clark asked concerning th
feasibility of a pontoon bridge.
Col. Sapp said ho did not boliov
that congro-B would grant n right fo
a pontoon bridge. The engineers ob
looted because it would interfere witl
improvement and also with navign
tion. There ' was difl'culty , too , 11
securing a p'ontoon bridge on accoun
of the sandy nnd shifting nature o
the banks , and thb treacherous chat
actor of the channel.
The secretary wai instructed to giv
notices to those not present concern
ing the mooting in Omaha next Thun
day. and adjournment was take
until then.
DOWDY'S TUO0DLES.
Charged Witli Keeping a Dlsordorl
House , Shot at by a Cripple , and
Locked Up for un Old and Un
paid Fine.
M. A. 0 , Dowdy , who keeps a si
loon and restaurant on Bryant strool
near Dohany's opera house , is boin
caused much trouble , and is causin
others much trouble. Ho has bee
arrested for keeping a disorder !
house and eolling liquors without
liccnso , the case being sot for a hoai
ing to-morrow , A man , giving h
name as John A. Spencer , of Can
bridge , Nob. , claims that ho was drui
god and robbed there , ami made1 'ii' '
complaint to the police several daj
ago , as made known at the time i
: . TUB HKK , The man's charge was <
vague , nnd his narrative of details wise
so mixed that little or nothing coul
t bo gained from him which would tni
k > the conviction of anybody , Tl
investigation led to the discovery that
the alleged victim had pawned n knito
the day before the alleged robbery
took plnco , and the inconsistency of a
man having considerable money pawn
ing his knife , made the police take
little stock in this charge. Other
charges , however , of allowing disrep
utable char-actors to frequent nis house
led to his arrest.
Some of the neighborB have object
ed all the time to this saloon being
located there. AinoiiR them was
Thomas J. Gillis , a cripple , living
next door. Ho being among Dowdy's
opponents , Dowdy nailed up an open
ing in the. fence , through which Gillis
and others wore in the habit of pars
ing in voing after wat r. Gillis , on
returning home , in the evening and
findint ! the fence nailed up , proceeded
0 tear It down. Dowdy objected and
1 row ensued , in which Dowdy struck
he otipplo nnd the latter fired two
ihots at Dowdy , the bullets passing
hrough the Inttor's ' h t , but causing
o wound. Gillis was arrested and
rought before Recorder Burko. A
ihango of vouuo was taken to Justice
? rain.'y , and by him the case was con-
inuod until next Tuesday.
Dowdy got into still further trouble
n Saturday. It appears that while
iving in Hamburg in 1870 ho was
hied for violating the revenue laws ,
,11 d tiiu Hue had never boon settled.
Ho wia accordingly arrested Satur-
"ny , brought before Commissioner
toy and committed to jail.
Dowdy's place is the same where a
oiifidcmco game was turned the ether
lay , by hich n country young man
est $15. In fact there seems to have
eon no end of the trouble which has
.risen . in and about the place.
CITY OHUMBS.
athorod from the Aldormonlo Table
at their Mootlng-Furthor Fl
nanclal Troubles.
The city couucilmot | again in regular
ossioii Friday evening , all too mom-
era being present except Alderman
hillips.
An unusually largo batch of bills
ere presented , the total being about
54,000. Among them was ono of
V. H. Brown , calling for § 135 for
oiiBohold poods burned m the sup-
ression of the small pox. Richard
ioechor presented a bill for 15 for
othing also burnod. Both bills wore
'oforrcd ' to the judiciary committee.
The petition for a sidewalk on the
west of Stutoman street was granted.
A petition was presented calling
or the establishment of a superior
ourt to bo submitted to a vote of the
looplo at the coming olsction. The
lotition was granted , and the mayor
, nnounced that ho would prepare a
reclamation in accordance therewith.
The city attorney reported that head
ad settled the condemnation of sov-
in lots on Union avenue , and asked
.hat the warrants bo issued to the
. artios upon their giving quit claim
deeds and abstracts. The warrants
were ordered issued. Churchill on-
erod an objection against quit claim
deeds , preferring that the city should
ocoivo warrantee deeds.
The question of paving Main street
rom Broadway to Sixth ayenuo was
wrought up by the city engineer , who
reported ono sealed bid as received.
By a previous roiolution of the coun
cil it was decided not to award the
contract for paving until the first
meeting in April. This action was
taken because , it was deemed bettor to
have the water works company lay
their mains before paving was done.
Alderman Spetman , after reviewing
those facts , moved that the previous
resolution deferring the bids , bo re
scinded and that they bo opened at
the next regular meeting. This mo
tion was adopted. Aldermen Church
ill , Fonda , Raino and Spetman voting
aye , and Dawson , Keller and Unthauk
voting no.
The committee of investigation of
the police reported , exonerating the
chief.
Alderman Churchill recommended
the filling up of Main street as fast as
the railway track is raised , and that
Union avenue bo leveled off.
It was decided that the council , as a
whole , shall visit Main street , Union
avenue , the crook and ether improve
ments , and moot next Tuesday night.
Alderman Dawson calledup the bil
for the now hose cart. The manufac
turers were dunning for the money ,
and there was no money in the fire
fund with which to meet the bill.
After seine talk it was decided Jthal
the finance committee shall devise
ways nnd moans for securing the
money , and forward it to the com
pany.
Tlio band boys were granted the
free use of the hose company's roon
on Broidwuy twice a weak for re
hearsals , us long as the company was
satisfied.
A committee consisting of Messrs
Brown , Levin and Trumbull appearei
in behalf of the Rescue lire compaii )
and announced that they had uoani
mously chosen Mr. Voorhis as drivot
of the now steamer , and Mr. Koyken
dale as driver of the hose cart , am
desired to have the council con lira
their action. On motion the whole
matter of choosing teamsters was deferred
forrod until next Tuesday evoiung.
Adjournment was then taken unti
that time. ,

IOWA ITEMS.
Olarinda in divided into throe wards.
Considerable wheat has been sold
in DCS Moincs county during the past
two weeks.
There are over SCO teachers and pu
pils in the Burlington Methodist Sun
day school.
The cost of support of the inmntps
) f the state reform school both
minclies-during Junuaiy amounted
0 $2,188.
An incidcndiiiry nttrmpt was made
1 few nights ape to burn the Novelty
ron works in Dubuquo. The fire was
iromptly discovered , and the damage
ono is not nbovo 850 or § 100.
Coo collect' , nt Cedar Rapids , has
> eon compelled to close on account of
carlot fever.
The small pox senBation at LoMars
cenifj to have died out as suddenly as
; sprung up.
It is bflioved the whitefish will
drive and do well. There is no rea-
on why the trout should not. There
was distributed in 1880-81 , in variaus
waters , G7,000 land-locked salmon ,
58,000 lake trout , 112,000 brook
.rout. . The commissioner has great
aith that the land-locked salmon will
> rove of great value in the largo lakes
n this state. It is almost useless to
ttempt to propagate migratory fish ,
as most of the largo rivers are block-
dod with dams , which prevent the
reo passage of fish. The law provid-
ng for the construction of fish-ways
n dams by the legislature of 1878 has
joen'ontirely ignored by mill-owners
in fact they have combined to secure
he repeal of the law. So long as
lieso obstacles remain there is no
> respect of success in propagating mi-
jratory fish.
Thare are in Iowa an immense
number of shallow lakes and ponds
where there is now no fish , but which
would provo the natural home of the
arp. Every such lake or pond , of
iolf nn acre , can produce one ton of
carp a year , and if the fish are fed
systematically it can be increased to
.wo . tons , so rapid is their growth.
specimens in the state carp ponds
weigh twelve pounds. They have
3eon increased from half an ounce to
wo pounds in ten and one-half
months. They are also long livers.
There is also another imnortant
'oiituro of carp culture in the shallow
stagnant ponds which abound in the
west. The waste which arises to the
; op of those ponds ( algcu ) and forms a
; roen malaria-brooding scum is when
lound and healthy one of the favorite
toods of the carp , upon which it
thrives and fattens , so that the source
of disease is transformed into good ,
healthy food. "Tho time is not far
off , " said the commissioner , "when
those waste , barren ponds will become
the most prolific fish producing waters
in the state. " The commissioner has
a limited supply of carp which will be
supplied to private ponds in small
numbers on condition that one-third
of the increase is placed in the public
waters of the state. One-half dozen
carp will bo all that is necessary to
make a beginning. The United States
government began with only eleven ,
and from this lias come all that have
boon distributed throughout the coun
try from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
