Mottaz has shown us a list of > namcB numbering over one hundred , still owimj road tax , lie desires to state to those delinquent citizens that unless they pay up In three or lour days , suit will bo commenced against them. Justice Abbott yesterday disposed'of the row which occurred a few days ago near the gas works. Ho lined Smith and Crowley 810 each , and for lack of cash on their part committed them to Jail for throe days. James I'ruco , who appeared to bo the ono who thumped Crowley BO severely , waa lined $50 , nnd iu lieu thereof given fifteen days In Jail. Dotwlxt and Botwoon. PottawaUtunio county ia not the only ono which republicans are divided on the quoetinn of supporting Major An derson , who Bocurod the nomination for congrcaa by ono majority. In Harrison county there is considerable rumbling also , It scorns that there are two factions , ono led by JohnLoh- t.'I man , who hns for years wielded much political influence there and the other by William Arndt. The latter has clung closely to Anderson , and done omo work for him setting up pins fet which ho claims reward , Anderson liaa for the reason perhaps that Leh man is not an enthusiastic admirer ol bis , ignored and snubbed him , rofus. ing to recognize the political powoi that ho wields. Anderson is now urged by some of his advisors to quil Arndt and cast alittlosunshinaonthc ether party , and ho in afraid to refuse , lost if the present ignoring and snub < bing of Lehman and friends bo kept up they may wage successful war on him. On the ether hand ho is ufraid to ofTcnd Arndt and his follpwore lest they charge him frith iiiRratitudo , and take revenge by clubbing him. Thcro sooins no bridge across the chasm , and in the meantime Ander son is timorous about moving lust hv stop on tender toos. Ho had bettor recognize Lehman , or at least nc longer ignore him , lest the wrath ol bun and his friends down him. Yet , if ho smiles on that side Arndt will use all liis smiles and moans to gain revenge. It is a bad break. Tranuforlng Titles.

A Stranger at the Revere House Takes too Much Laudanum. Ho In Snatched From Donth Jntt In TJmo. On Wednesday night a stranger arrived - rived in the city and rogialorod at the Rovcro hoaso M P. J. Smith , Daven port. After going out upon the streets for n time ho returned , and with simply n request that ho bo shown to his room , retired. Yesterday morn ing ono of the employes passing the door of the room had his attention at tracted by a strange groaning noise , and opening the door found Smith ly ing upon the bed in nn apparent stupor , and breathing in a strange , deathly sort of n manner , IIo tried in vain to arouse him , and at once in formed the landlord , who summoned Dr. Hanchott in hasto. When that physician arrived the man scorned to bo in a dying condition , and evidently from the rosalta of opium , laudanum , or some kindred kind of a dose , No vial or powder paper could bo discov ered to give any clue to exactly what or how much the man had been taking. Remedies wore promptly applied ana the man began to revive , but it was a close call for him , and it was some time before ho was BO far ro * covered as to bo able to talk , Ho then explained that ho had boon troubled with sorno bowel difficulty and had boon taking some laudanum out of a vial found in his coat packet. Ho said ho-had. taken moro than ho intended , and as nearly as ho could ascertain had swaltawod about an ounce in all. Ho disclaimed all saicial thought or pur pose , but there are some circumstances which have aroused the suspicion of Homo of thoBO knowing moat about the case that for aomo reason , ho was anxious to leave this lifo. Yesterday afternoon ho was quite fully recovered , though very weak. Ho maintained much reticence about the matter , and had little to say beyond the fact that ho took the laudanum for medicinal purposes. In the treatment of the case , a aug- goation given by a Omaha physician at the late homeopathic convention in this city was followed up , it being the uoo of ice to secure the nervous aliock ao necessary in rousing a patient from the ntupifying influence of such a po tion , .Besides ice in the mouth , at the back of the nock , ice was intro duced in the rectum , and the now treatment seemed to work like a charm , producing very satisfactory ro- aults. After the man had revived Bufliciontly to make it safe to leave him in the care of attendants , they wore cautioned to uao ice if ho began to fall back into his deadly stupor. They walked the poor man up and down the hall , and when there was a little top much drowsiness , n fresh dose of ice was applied. The attend ants possibly overdid the matter , but they watched most faithfully , and if man has occasion to curse ice and at the fliiino time thank it , that man is Smith. Ho must have fancied himself a walking rdiriqrator , and if ho had suc ceeded in joining the angola , the corpao would hnvo been in an excel lent condition for keeping. XOOSE. Alton ROBS Is Turned Out Upon the Community Again for Lack of Witnesses. Yesterday forenoon Allen Rosa was again brought before Justice Ftainoy on the old rape case , for which ho has boon laying in jail for aomo time , while the case has been continued and continued again. The first few times that the case was set the stop-daughter who claimed to have boon the victim of Ross1 passion , was on hand to testify , but attempts wore made oven then by Itoas and hie wlfo to got her to leave or not testify , and it was then predicted that when the case came to a trial the girl would bo missing , and the case drop through. Such proved to bo result. The girl was not on hand yesterday , and as the prosecution depended largely upon her , there was no chance to convict , and Mr. Scott , appearing for the state , caused the case to be dismissed. Ross promises to skip out at ouco for Omaha , and not return to Council Blufls. It is to bo hoped that ho will not atop in his journeying wostwunl until ho places such a distance bvtncon him and this city , as tu forbid the poeel- bility of his getting hade lioro nyniu. If ho would toke the rest of the tiibo with him , it would lie u relief to the citizens , who Iwvu tiled of thtir no torious and disjunct ful doings. Mrs. Ross yi'uturdby uitarnnon hnd her turn , she being cimrued with as saulting a man named Mitchull Shu was discharged , the witness not ap pearing , Shu thun complained of Mitchell , but ho in turn was dis charged. In fact , the whole proceed ings , BO fur us they wure concerned , the Rosa tiibu acumod to bo a general disci ) argo of pus. THE PECK BOYS Tlioy nro Freed from the Orovioua Gum-go of Killing u Playmate. Yesterday Juatice Abbott gave his decision in the case of the Pock boya , who stood charged with having so in jured Oharlio Bartlett in a school-boy row as to cause his death , The evi dence on the part of the prosecution consisted mainly of statements made by the deceased boy'a grandmother , ante to what the boy told her of the dllli- culty , ho claiming that the Peck boya pounded and kicked him , Ono boy testified that ho saw the sculllo at u distance , and that ho thought it waa ilio Peck boys. Then there waa in troduced aomo statements made by the Peck boys to others , which waa oUinu'd to bo partial admissions. On the other hand thcro waa Thorn- in Brougham , who saw the row and ian up to the boys and scparatov. them. Ho wan positive tlint it was not the Peck boys , but two other buys , cousins of the Bartlclt boy. It WHS also shown by Mrs. Peck that the boys always return ed homo immediately from school and did not corno through the alloy in which the difliculty occurred. There was much evidence introduced also in regard to the injuries. It appeared there waa no way of determining 't ' bother they resulted from external lows or from aomo disease or intern xl isarrangomcnt , In fact , the real MUSO waa only to bo conjectured. There beinjin the mind of the court two serious doubts , ono being whether the Peck boys were the ones engaged in the row , and the other beIng - Ing whether the injuries received at that time caused death , Justice Ab bott discharged the boys. There seems to have sprung up quito a fooling in Walnut , pro and con , over this matter , and in the com munity are found two strong sides. There Booms to bo much mystery about the death of the boy , it occurring a long time after the alleged row took place , and there being other ways oi accounting , for the injuries , some claiming that ho was thrown from a horse , and that this probably was the cause of hia illness. There seems to bo also a division of opinion as to whether the Pock boys or some othot boys assaulted him. A Now lowo. Town. Correspondence of The Bee. Among the now towns in the west ern portion of the state , on the line of the Missouri Pacific railroad , Avocaia worthy of moro than a passing notice. Mr. A. TcfTt , the father of Senator TofTt , was the originator of the town , and to his efforts largely is duo the success of the enterprise. Ho laid out a portion of his farm in village lots , and in February last began building. The site of the town is about 10 miles south of Weeping Water , in the very center of a prosperous agricultural district. The first buildings wore put up by Mr. Toft and designed for stores , being 00x22 feet on the ground and two stories in height. Mr. TcfTc hae no trouble in renting thcao buildingc for business purposes. When a man has a largo store ho must fill it , and a ; the stored wore very commodious , bj the time they wore filled the mer chants had a very complete stock ol goods. Avoca promises to take an active part in the contest to wrcattho count ; scat of Casa county from Plattsmouth , and locate it at Weeping Water. Although this would add to the prosperity of Weeping Water , her greatest rival in business , it would no doubt bo a benefit tc Avoca to have the county scat nearer at hand. Among the business houses there are none that stand ahead of Hallor's general merchandise ctoro. The business ia managed by II. H. Ilallor in a manner satisfactory to both to the firm and his numerous cujtomors. B. B. Cnlman opened a billiard hall on the temperance plan to furnish amusement for the boys. A. L. Marshall , an old friend to TUB BEE , was among the firat to move down from Weeping Water and open a durg store and a news depot combined. Avoca , although having made won derful progress since February , is not complete. Largo quantities of grain are raised in the vicinity , and a good mill wou'd add much to the town , bo- aides being a great convenience to the farmers , Mr. Carter , who owned the land on the opposite aide of the railroad track from Mr. Toft's farm , made a great effort to have the town built on hia land. Ho laid it out In lots and offered inducements for building on them. Three stores wore built on that side and several residen ces. This gave rise to considerable rivalry in business. The toys enjoys the advantages of a bank , which is n convenience that many towns do not possess. Avoca is a very pretty naruo for a town , and it brings to mind ono of the most expressive poems of Moore. It may not bo as pleasant as the poet's "sweet vale of Avoca"but it is a thor oughly business town. If the same business enterprise that has been dis played to such an extent in the past is continued in the future , it would bo difficult to predict to what an extent the town might bo developed. The citizens are greatly pleased at the opening of the Missouri Pacific and tlio convenience of a daily mail , which enables them to got the DAILY BEK instead of being compelled to depend - pond upon n weekly paper. paper.A. . 0.

Our purchase of both French and domestio Calf Skinsi as well BS a largo supply of Odk-tanned Sole Leather , were made very early in the season which , being boueht at foimor prices , relieves us in a great degree of the increased cost of production that many manufacturer tire obliged to sustain in filling their orders taken early. Your whole order f jr the coming fall season is well in band , and will be shipped at an early date , We desire to call the attention of those who use our goods , through the medium of your house , to our new styles in both Hand and Machine Sowed work.
