The city council meets thts afternoon to cftnv IM the rote , and die tne dK The atreeU , lately so muddy , nro now flying off In dust , and still no Henlici ap pear , The cnies of tha fellow * engaged In the.row at Anderon' saloon commence ] to-day before JuJga Abbott. Lait night the Uasye-Cotton company presented "Tho Octaroon" at Dohany'n , jtnd mule quite n eucoesnful hit. i The city's new team of grays and the city's now ho j 3 out are getting ncquatn ted with each other , nmklng n ntrcot parade almost dally. The itore on the corner of Main and Tint avenue ii bein ; ro Bitted , repilntol r nd generally rejuvenated , preparatory to be'ng occnpled on a drug ntnre by Air , iFInney. The Rsscne ( Ire company have ar ranged' to give a dance onM mday evening , April 10 , the proceeds to gb toward defray ing the extra expenses of fitting up their new engine house. -Tho parlor lectures given by Mr. 0. B. Mills are creating much Interest. Last evening ho gava a talk on ' 'Mythology , " land next Monday ovcnlu ; he will give ono on ' 'PythiforM. " Many are wondering wlion the water- 'works folks will begin operrtlona. Prom- - , ! es have been plenty , but there la no as * auranco to be placed on any ttina until the work , actually begins. It startles the average citizen to think of Mayor Vaughau squealing about Illegal voters and corruption at the polle. It wM , indeed , bo refreshing It ho takes up the new r. le of reformer in politics. The Rescue fire company expect to organize a ( no running team tn go to the state liretnen's tournament nt Muscattno next Juno If BO , there is a pretty peed assurance that Council Bluffs will capture At leant uD of the big plizes. The work of moving the fire alarm bell Irom the tower back of tha pollen stitlon to the tower of the new engne house , began yesterday afternoon , It proved quite a task , the bell weighing 1,000 poundx , nnd the tackle being rather Innuf- ficlenty for easy handling. The prospect is th tt Patrick Lacy Is to secure another term as chief of the fire department. The Rescue- company , at its meeting Wednesday evening , recommended him M the chief , and the other company will doubtless do 'the same , and It remains tor the council to confirm nih action. There is nothing sturtlmgly new nbjut the proposed contest over the election. It will probably end where it begar , ( n Vaughan shouting "Fraud. " The fact that the cry comes from him , and that it Is the gasp of a defeated candidate , la about enough. Still , If there has been fraud , let It be exposed , . .whoever or'whero- ever It may fall. The numerous cases against Dowdy , for selling without a saloon license , for keeping a disorderly houto , etc. , have dropped quietly and myBteriously. There now seemi no one inclined to prosecute. The question of hU license Is n mixed one , tha council having granted him ono , but being enjoined from Issuing blm the neces sary papers or taking his money. In re gard to the charge of keeping a disorderly bouse , It Is claimed that ho U running bin placa more decently now , and those who , complained before are willing to give him a chance to keep straight. THE BEK , a few days ago , called at tention to a B id case , In whoh a young and destitute 'mother ' uni bibe needed help from the charittbly inclined , One kindly Disposed lady lias Investigated the cute , and has given and secured some help , and tcha reports that a rocVIng chair Is among , the needfuls. Any one willing to furnish one , or give any other nteded aid , can learn details of the case by applying at this office. Tun UEE would publicly give names and location , -were It not for the fact that auch publicity would be cruel rather than charitable under the clroum- tancta. The proposed purchuio of i he Amy property , tbo closing of wilch | bargain Is about cowpkt 'd by the council Juit going put , Is an ia.portaut pne , The property is BO located that | f it comes into the pos- aesslpn of the city it will furnish ample accommodation for city purpcues. If the creek is flumetl between the utone culvert and the iron bridge on Main street , then this city would have a valuable location indeed for iU city building , and ita new engine house wiUtld be upon the same * ground , Thu erection of a new city buildIng - Ing will soon become an almost Imperative heed. Under the new form of city govern ment th'ore are a number of offices and a court-room to be provided In planning for a building which will accommodate the various departments nt city Kovernmont , it would be well also to provide fnr n pub lic market place. Omaha hai taken utopu in this direction , and why not Council ZllulW A large number , and eapcclrjly of the working clas , are very anxious to have a market place provided , and a city Jiall and market house combined would be a good improvement. If the enterprise Is jtuHciouily managed it can be pushed to a .successful completion without a great out lay cm the part of the city , Mrs. Holloway has had plans pre pared for a hotel eho has thought of building in Fort Dodgo. Thu build- jug would occupy ninety foot front- ego on Fifth atruct , and contain aov- vo bleeping roomi. AT LOSS FOB A BILL. Mooting of the Brldgo Committee o tno Two Oltlos. Yesterday afternoon , in pursuance with arrangements inado at the las meeting in Omaha , the joint commit teen of the two cities mot at the boarc ot trade rooms in this city to take fur thcr steps concerning the securing o a bridge across the river. There wore present Irom Omaha President II. 0 Clark and Secretary Thomas Gibson of the board of trade , 8. 11 , Johnson M. Ucllmnn , Henry Pundt , Josopl Shooloy and T. W. T. Richards From this city there was present J. \V. Rodofor , J. T. Hart , T. McCarecr , Marshall Key , A. B. McKuno , Henry Molcalf , A. 0. Qraham and T. J. Evans. In the absence of the chairman ol the joint committees , Mr. Gibson called the meeting to order , and on motion Mr. Olark , of Omaha , was ap pointed chairman. Mr. Mctcalf , of the committal ) ap pointed from this city to draft A bill to present to congress , was called upon for A report. Ho stated that ho was j the only ono present of that commit- 1 too , Oolonol Sapp and Mr. Pusoy , the | two other members being out of the city. Those two gentlemen had drafted a bill , but it was not to bo found at their offices , and they being absent , it was net possible to present the report. A Himilar committee had boon ap pointed for Omaha , but tint committee - too reported that the members had been very busy , and that , having full confidence in the Council Bluffs com mittee , the drafting of the bill had boon left to them. There seemed to bo nothing to do without the bill , as the mooting was for the special purpose of discussing its provisions. It was therefore do * cidod to adjourn until next Wednes day afternoon at 2 o'clock , when the committees will moot in Omaha , and at which time the bill will bo on hand. Ono of the chief questions which will be discussed most earnestly is whether a railroad bridge and wagon bridge will bo built , or whether a wagon bridge only. The former plan Dooms the most favored by the Omaha parties , and it is urged in its favor that Buflloiont aid can bo had from railway companies in building the bridge so that the wagon portion of it would cause no financial ourden. It is urged , too , that if the , citizens got the charter and then lot some railroad build under this charter , it will TJO moro favorable for the people , and the rights of the public will bo moro protected than if a railway company should secure a charter of its own. On the other hand , there is such a fooling against the way in which the present bridge is being controlled that the citizens want to have a bridge which is entirely out of the roach of all railway control. It is feared that if it is in ahy respect a railway bridge that it will soon bo nothing moro nor less than the present bridge , and will provo a monopoly affording scarcely hotter accommodations than these now so meagerly given to the public. CONCERNING THE CROOKED. Various Itema'Oloanod ' About Police Headquarters. < A follow named Kelioy was bonatly ugly drunk Wednesday night and it required both Chief Fields and Mar shal Morse to steer him safely to the calaboosp. There ho smashed what little furniture there is in the place , kicked ever the stove and raised a t jonoral commotion. Yosterda/ morn ing ho was sober enough to plead guilty and was fined $10 , and given a chance to work it out. cash being an unknown commodity with him. Ofiioor Barhyto run in an unorna- mental drunk Wednesday night. The usual $0.85 was assessed and the fol- ow , giving his name aa James Wheeler , was sot at work in default of cash. cash.Thoro There seems to bo some tardiness in ollowing up Murray and Dee Dotter , -ho two who participated with Bolts n the Keg Creek robbery. It is saia ; hat money is needed to follow up the 'allows , and that the officers are wait ing for the citizens of Keg Creek , or ; ho family friends , to put up thu necessary wherewith , and unuit tempt a being made tOigotitho governor to offer a reward. It is claimed that with money to pay expenses , there is i good chance of a successful chase. Information has been filed against Bo tn , uqt only for assault with intent to murder , but also for robbery. Paving Main Street. The paving of Main street is still a matter of mixed talk. Bids were ad vertised for some time ago , and then the property owners thought it was boat to wait until the waterworks company laid ita mains , for if the pav ing was done first , a portion of it would need bo taken up to put in the pipes , and it oould not bo rolaid 0.1 well as in the first placo. With thio view of the hiattor the. matter was laid ever by the council , and the soli tary bid received was tucked in the pigpon-holu unopened. The old coun cil is to dlo to-morrow , and of course that kills their doings in the matter , and the new council will Imvo to start in afresh. Several contractors are waiting rather anxiously to see what the outcome will bo and are trying to keep truck as to when bids will bo received again. Mr. Perkins , a Chicago contractor , was hero yesterday , and interviewed several of the city otllcials. Ho wanU to pave with Cedar blocks , but says that if the matter is postponed much longer , the blocks will cost much moro than now , as now _ is the time when the supply is being got at for the Reason , and the supply s regulated by the amount needed by cities which have decided to use them. If the city does not speak for the Oodur blocks now , it will have to pay moro for them late in the season , Of course much of this is talk , for the amount needed for main street will not form any gaoat factor in figuring up thu total supply , and then again the city may not clooido to use Oedar blocks. QLENWOOD GATHERINGS. Important Cases Before Court Pro > Bontfitlon to SherlffFarroll * Other Items. Correspondence ol The Omaha Uee. GLBNWOOD , March 8. The district cowrt , Judge ifeed presiding , is now in session hero. The principal case tried thus far , is that of Christian Pitman - man , who about two years ago , killed a Mr. Masson , near Avoca , Potta- wattamio county. The case comes hereon on a change of venue. Halo and Stone assist in the prosecution , while the defense is conducted by Myrstcr ft Adams. The case was given to the jury on Saturday night , and the jury , after wrestling with the caao till Sun day oTeningagreodto disagree. Two , it is understood , hold for manslaughter - tor , and six for acquittal , the others Tvoro divided. Wo hoard a part of the trial. The prisoner and the de fendant quarrelled , and at last Mas- son "reached for" Pitman , took him by the head , and declared that ho would swing his nock. Here the story gets mixedbut at last it appears that Pitman , who was not only the under , but the little dog in the fight , found opportunity to stab his assail ant four or five times with a jack knife. Masson fell in the road and died there , a short time after. The court docket is pretty full. Another murder case is yet to bo tried Tultlo and Wolf , who killed o man in a drunken row at Malvorn * a year and a half ago. * The most taking occurrence during this court has boon a presentation to Sheriff Parroll , A gold watch , chain and charm , worth about $150 , with an appropriate inscription , was presented iim by Judgd Reed , in behalf of thu ' many friends of the plucky'sheriff , who captured Wells , the desperado. Carroll's injuries are slight-only end mil actually drawing blnod. This waa on the back of the hoad. The jono was not broken , nor , so far as can boon soon , was it injured. The suicide of Mr. Valentino 'lumb , noted in TUB BEE of Satur day , was a shock to all , but was not altogether a surprise to somo. A member of the family told us that the locoased's mind had boon in such con- lition for months that his suicide was oared. The deceased was af od sixty- , wo years. Ho was a wealthy farmtir , and resided about six miles noVth of lastings. Long continued ill health , and perhaps some other causes , con- ributod to the sad event. The Messrs.

KATE SHELLY. The Heroism of the Boone County Qlrl That Hat ) Won tbo Recogni tion of the State , lion. A. J , Holmes la the Houte , Dot Maine * . Match 1 , On the night of the Gth of July , 1881 , about 8 o'clock , there com menced ono of the most memorable storms that over visited central Iowa ; nothing like it had over boon wit nessed by the oldest inhabitant * . The DCS Moincs river rose over sit fee * in ono hour little rills that were dry almost the year round suddenly devel oped into miniature rivers massive railway bridges and lines of track were swept sway as if they had been cobwebs. It wan while looking out oi her window towards the high railroad bridge over Honey creek that Kate Shelly saw the advancing headlight ol a locomotive descend into an abyss and become extinguished , carrying with it the light of two lives. It was then that she realized in all its force that a terrible catastrophe had occur red , and if not averted another moro terrible would soon follow , the cast bound express train heavily laden with passengers from the Pacific. She an nounced to mother , sisters and brother that she mutt go to ( ho scene of the accident , and render assistance if pos sible , and also warn the oncoming pas senger train. It was in vain they tried to dissuade her. Although she waa obliged to almcst Improvise a lantern in many of its parts , it was but a few minutes be fore she was ready tosofr out. Real izing then that her mission waa one of peril , and that she might not look igain upon those dear faces , she kissed each of them affectionately , and amid their sobs hurried out into the gloom , into the descending Hoods , toward the rushing torrents , drenched to the skin. On she passed toward the rail road , to the well-remembered looting , , only to find the waters rushing high above and beyond the place-whore it led boon. Then she thought of the ; reat bluff rising t6 the west of her tome and extending southward toward .ho railroad track , and she determined .o ascend it and roach the bridge ever this barrier to tlio waters. Need I recount how she struggled on and up ihrough the thick undergrowth , that , } olng storm-laden , dioopod and made more difficult her passage ; how with clothes torn and hands and face bleed- ng she arrived at the end of the jndgo , and standing out upon the ast tie she peered down into the abyss of waters with her dim light tnd called to knew if auyono was .hero alive. In anawor to her re peated calls came the answer of the ingincor , ' who had caught hold of and nude a lodgement in a tree top , and around whom the waters were still rapidly rising , sending floating logs , .reos and driftwood against his frail support , and threatening momentarily o dislodge and engulf him. It took jut a moment to bo assured that ho waa a survivor of four men who wont down with the engine , and after a moment's hurried consultation she started for Moingond , a nile distant , to secure assistance and .o warn the eastward bsund passenger .rain then nearly due. As aho passed along the high grade it seemed as if aho must bo blown ever the embank ment , and still the heavens seemed to ; ivo not ram but a deluge. As she ipproachcd the railway bridge ever , ho Dos Moines river the light in her antorn , her only guidoand protection , wont out. It was then that thohoroio soul of this child of only 1G years became - came most fully apparent ; facing the storm which almost took away her 3tenth , and enveloped in darkness ; lmt rendered every object in nature invisible , she felt her way in to the railroad bridge , Here oho must pass for'a distance of between 400 and 500 feet over the rushing river beneath on the naked ties. Aa the wind swept the bridge she felt how unsafe it would bo to attempt walking over it , and getting down upon her hands and knees , clutching the timbers with an almost despairing energy , she pain fully and , at length successfully made the passage. She reached the depot , and , having told of the catastrophe at the bridge , and requesting the stop page of the passenger train then about duo , aha fainted and fell upon the platform. This , yery briefly , want ing in much that is .meritorious in it , is the story of Kato Shelly and the Bth of July. Her parents were coun trymen of Sara field , of Emmet , and J'Conner of the land that has given heroes to every other and dishonored none. It waa an act well worthy to rank with that other heroine , who , launching her frail. craft from the long stone pier , braved the terrible seas on that Northumberland coast to lave the lives of others at the risk of lor own.
