Tbo Mayor Bays Flno Things About
Himself and ] Tlckloa the
Council Also.
The city council mot yesterday
afternoon for its last obsequies , all
being present , and the mayor presid
ing.
Mayor Yaughan opened the doings
as follows !
OKNTJ.EMBN OP run COUNCIL : Wo
aru liuro to canvass the votes cast for
city officers on Monday , March Gtli ,
1832. I am pained to say that I have
positive proof of votes having boon
cast by a number of minors , many
non-residents , and unnaturalizod citi
zens , and of voters that wore bought
nnd sold. Our laws , however , are
such that this council is powerless to
remedy the evil , nnd the only method
to protect n community from law j
breakers of this kind seems to bo by
ciiminal prosecution. I sincerely I
trust , therefore , in order to prevent n
repetition of the crime that these il
legal voters will bo dealt witli accord
ing to law. 1 would recommend that
you instruct the recorder to retain the
ballots and books , and all papers con
nected with the late election for future
use nnd investigation. "
' 1 ho council instructed the recorder
in compliance with this recommenda
tion.
General bills , petitions , and minor
nutters were presented nnd disposed
of , and reports received from thu sev
eral committees.
Aid. Fonda , of the committee for
locating the hand engine in Strcots-
villo , reported that no place could bo
secured , and the matter wont over to
the new council.
The formality of canvassing the
vote was pone through with and a
resolution adopted declaring the per
sons elected , whoso names have al
ready boon given by the press in the
report of the results of the election.
An allowance of 810 was granted
for each judge and clerk of the elec
tion , all voting in its favor except
Aid. Phillips. Other expenses fur ,
election were also allowed , including
rent for polling places , broken doors ,
windows , scrabbling out , lunches ,
lights and fuel.
At the finish of the routine of bus
iness Mayor Vaughan offered the fol
lowing farewell words :
GENTLEMEN or TUB COUNCIL : As
our ollieial relations cease with this
mooting , it seems a fitting time for a
parting word. Those relations have
been , I trust , mutually pleasant and
profitable , und I am free to confess ,
that my own efforts for the general
good of the city , would have bomi
neutralized , but for the hearty cooperation
oration of every branch of the city
government , and your frequent ex
pressions of. encouragement und good
will. As a council you have labored
in harmony and with energy for the
best interests of the city at large , and
have seconded every effort of my
own. At your regular mooting , hold
March 3 , 1882 , you did mo the honor
to adopt the following reaplution ,
properly authenticated by Recorded
Burke :
"Bo it resolved , That wo tender to
Mayor Vaughan our thanks for his
courtesy and kindness shown the al
dermen during his term of office , and
wo desire hero to officially say that we
are confident that ho has doiio all in
his power for the good of our city ,
nnd wo [ have implicit confidence in
him as an ofliuiul and a citizen , and
wo are sura that ho has labored faith
fully and honestly for the good of our
city. "
The following certificate is nlso of
unusual significance at this time :
"I certify that Mayor Vuughan has
remitted no gambler's or prostitutes' .
fines during his term of office. "
F. A. BPUKB ,
City Recorder.
All this is gratifying to myself , for
there is no higher reward fur a public
ollieial than n fuir appreciation ot his
labors , expressed by representative
men. I have nothing to regret con
cerning my official actsj save that I
will not now bo able to carry all of
them into practical effect.
I ntn sure you will join mo in the
hope that our successors will not have
flqods and other misfortunes to con
tend with , which wore BO promptly
wet at your hands. No council has
labored harder , or been more econom
ical , when wo consider the public
necessities and demands
, and no coun
cil hnsfbeon mo.ro bulled or iyduttri-
ously abused , composed ns it is of
representative business men. Lot us
hope that the public improvements in.
augurated by the present city govern
ment will bo continued by our rue-
oossors. Union.uvenuo , Vnughannvo-
nuo and other condemnations have
been about paid fur by thU adminis
tration , nnd thouaandsof dollars of nil
debts left us nsa legacy by former
councils.
The fire department is in fine
condition , with a now building , horses ,
hose carts , etc. , nu monuments of
your energy and enterprise.
City orders sell at i)5 ) centa on the
dollar , the tax levy for 1883 is almost
intact ) and thu nov administration
will have an abundance of money to
go on with the work of establishing a
system of drainage , improving and
paving our streets. " If the good work
you have inaugurated goes on , those
composing the present administration
will bo the drat to npplaud.
The council was then declared as
adjourned sino die , and th mayor ,
aldermen and city officials repaired to
a banquet ' nnd general good time at
Louies' restaurant on Broadway , thus
giving a happy finish to thtir < j"lcial
career ,
OHANOINa'COUnTH. '
Sorao of the Tricks Uy Which Clianjroa
of Venue are Alloctod.
The practices attending clmimes of
renuo are BO taken advantage of that
those so inclined perform all sorts of
tricks under the pretense of keeping
in accord with the law. It common
for persons accused with crime t
swear that the justice before when
they nro brought is prejudiced , nh
hnvo the case sent to some other court ,
Sometimes two or more justices an
included in the affidavit , the defend
nut taking liis oath that both or til
are prejudiced , sons to necessitate tin
sending of the case to some p.irti.iula :
justice by whom ho , for some specia
reason , desires to bo tried. In manj
ot those cases the affidavit is thu ;
drawn up and subscribed to , not be
cause of any known prejudice , but
simply because the nccused prefer ;
Bomu other justice , and sometimes fo.
the purpose of delay. This abuse o
the change of venue privilcgo on th
part of the defendant , haa been on
of long standing , and it has now beet :
followed by one of like nbuso on tin
p.irt of persons prosecuting , and who
too , desire to have the c.aso tried bj
sbmo particular justice , and who are
determined to get it sent there oven
by resorting to trickery to do it.
The , prosecution in many cases
bound to check the dcfondnntn fron.
chosing so particular justice , has also
been practicing n little trick. The
prosccutbn decides what justices it
does lipt to have try the case and than
causes those justices to bo subpcuned
as witnesses. If n change is then
sought by the defense the cose cannot
bo sent to these justices , as they are
witnesses in the c.iso , and in nearly
every such case the justice is not call
ed ou to testify nt nil , nnd in fact
knows nothing about the case. The
justices of this city have decided time
und ngain that when n change of venue
is nsked for they cannot send the case
to the nearest justice if that justice is
n witness in the case. Tlio proaccu
lion , knowing this , bars out such jus
ticcs as it wishes by subtwnaing ( them
an witnesses , even when they liavo no
idea of using them on the stand.
A fair example of how changes of
venue are worked occurred yesterday.
While everything may have been all
straight about it , yet it shows how
'
easily' abuses may creep in. Several
of those accused of being concerned
in the row nt Anderson's saloon some
time ago , were brought before Justice
Abbott to answer to n charge of as
sault with intent to murder. The de
fendants presented an affidavit to the
effect that Justice Abbott and Justice
Bond were both prejudiced. It was
evident that they wanted neither of
those justices. On the other hand the
prosecution came in and called atten
tion to the fact that it had sub [ ounaed
Justice Frainoy and Justice Biiird an
witnesses , nnd the cases could not
therefore bo sent to either of those.
This pinned the hearing of the cases
down to Recorder Burke , nnd the
papers wore accordingly sent there.
There nro already charges pending in
tlint court againtt the same defend
ants , arising from thu ramo row , and
tlio whole matter will probably be
transferred by him to Justice Ayles
worth.
This case alone shows how easily it
can bo worked when the prosecution
desires to hnvo only curtain justices
try a case , as .well ns how easily de
fendants can accommodate themselves
likewise. In many cases it in simply
a farce , us justices nro sub couiod us
witnesses when they have never heard
or learned anything concerning the
matters at issue and when they are
never in fact expected to testify. In
many cases , though , fees ara collected
just the same.

KIDNAPPING CHILDREN"
Two Young Girls Abducted
from School.
Supposed to Have boon Talcon to
* Omaha.
Yesterday afternoon two little
dnughtois of Mrs. S > irnhA. . Parker ,
living about eight , miles out , of this
city , were called out of tho' school
.where they were in attendance , and
found a covered carriage waiting for
them. In spite of thuir protests they
wore hurriedly placed in the carriage ,
covfcrcd with robesand , rapidly driven
away.
It is claimed that the abduction of
these two girln , both of whom are
under twelve years of ngo , was the
outcome of n family trouble between
Mr. Edwin Parker , the father of the
two girls , and his wife , and that ho
was the ono who thus kidnapped the
girls. lr. and Mrs. Parker hav/ > not
lived together for two years or more.
Ho has had the custody of the two
sons and she has kept the two
daughters , It is supposed' that ho
hired a team in Omaha , and driving
over hero , captured the girls and
drove hurriedly back to the other side
of the river with them , Officers fol
lowed in hot pursuit , und un informa
tion was filed and warrant issued by
Justice Baird ut the instance of Sarah
A. Parker , chnrging said Kdwin Par
ker with ' 'nmLcioudlv , forcibly and
fraudulently taktnu , decoying and en
ticing away two children under the age
of 12 years , with the intent to conceal
' and detain them from her , she being
'the mother of said children. "
f io ) defendant is widely known in
this vicinity and also in Nebraska ,
where ho served nt ono time as a
member of the legislature. The
mother , too , 1ms inuny friends and
some relatives in this vicinity and the
CABO will excite great interest.

"A'KEOKUK LADY ,
Whoso First Beau Was General Grant
When Ho was a Farmer'a Boy.
The Keokuk Constitution professes
to have interviewed n ludy living in
that city who once lived on a farm ad
joining that of General Grant's boy
hood homo , olid v , ho was courted by
the man yvjio afterwards became thu
the president of the United
States. Thu early sweetheart of
General Grunt is said to bo a
lady considerably advanced in
yuai-s , yet still Lirge , active und buoy
ant , and not nearly no reticent ns thu
general. She talkid cleverly , point
edly , and honestly , luvving little to
keep back , and appeared to bo a fair
representative ot that honest , blunt-
spoken class of people upon whom
Americana pridu themselves us our
forefathers and motheis. iler maiden
name was Elenner Brandon.
She .had not seen General Grant
amcu the fifties she said , and then his
father carried on a tannery near Ports
mouth , Ohio. She once had occasion
to reside for a time in the family of u
former whose form joined that uf
Grunt's father- only u line fence be
tween them nnd itas during hir
stay at this farm house that she was
courted by General Grant. It must
have been in thu springtime , for she
Siys she and General Grant would
meet at thu division fence , on each
de of which were beautiful flowers.
"Ulick , " Baid she , "would tay to
me , 'lot's gather flonoraand see which
will have thu must kinds when wu get
"You mean Grant when you say
Ulickl" interrupted the reporter ; "his
natru isUlyEsus. "
"kcs , " she replied , "we always call
ed him 'Uliek , ' and while ho was court
ing mu and wanting fo marry inu my
father used to luugh at him uud plaguu
mu , saying 'ho ia tlui greenest looking
boy 1 over SAW , ' " und chuckling to
herself she added , ' ! und ho was a green
looking fellow. "
When the flowers wore gathered
they would arrange them nicely and
exchange bouquets. '
Shu said ho would often take her
buugy riding ; and during thu wnr she
heard of General Grunt us the great
general , but it waa some time beforu
she hud unyido.i that ho , waa thu same
"Uhek" who had courted her when
she was but u sixteen or seventeen-
year-old girl.
Said she ; "t remember the last
time 1 .saw 'Ulick. ' We had been
buguy riding. Wo had alighted from
thu buggy and ho stood leaning with
ono arm upon n wheel of the vehicle.
Ho enid ; 'Well , Ellen , ( my iiamu is
Eleanor , , but they calloi n.io Ellen ) , if
I over have anybody that I l vu well
enough to marry , and am bo fortunate
as to have a daughter , you know what
that daughter's nome will be. "
The daughter's name is Nellie , a
pretty contraction of Eleanor.
