Arrangements were ratdo for a social at the Homo of the Frlondlese this evening , but on account of the uncertainty of the weather the ladloi have decided to postpone the adal until the weather Is aj little more Battled. One fact Is noticeable In regard tc the criminals or alleged criminals tr be tried at this term of the dlstric court all of them are between 19 am 25 years of ngo , and all seem youthf u indeed.

A Number of Oomplalnts Filed in Order to Oet them to Move , The Oity in the Meantime Stores its Gasoline Where it Can do the Most Hurt , The annual nervous spasm about ho position and condition of the pow der houses within the city limits la 3 sslng over the public. It is a fact hat these powder houses are Inside ho city limits , and the ordinance lane no doubt being violated In some ways > y some of the dealers. The ordi nance provides that no person shall coop or store gunpowder in any houie , store or warehouse Inside the limits , unless the same Is in a fire prool magazine to bo located and approved jy the mayor and chief engineer of the Ire department , the penalty foi each offense being $100. This Is not made applicable , however , to retailers of gunpowder , who are not allowed to coop morn thnn 25 pounds in their stores , and thh must bo kept In tin cannlstors , 1101 containing more than Ive pounds each. All retailers , too , are required r > > keep a sign on the 'ront of thkir doors , "Gunpowder for Sale. " The first complaint entered was against Oliver & Graham , They claim to bo agents simply fora powder company , and that the company par- chased five acres in the out skirts of the town , and erected n a ravine a fire prool irlok building , placing It in the contot of the five acres , thereby complying n all respects to the law. It scorns hat wlthlng a day or two there Jiavc seen ono or two bricks knocked enl of the corner of the building , and thoj ntlmato their belief that thla wai done to help the prosecution make out a case , and to sustain the charg < of Its being an unsafe building. It li claimed by them that the powdti bouses are as safe as in an ] city under the sun , and tha If the oonnoll forces thesi powder houses out of the city , th < companies owning them must go ti ether cities to do business , and leavt Council Bluffs entirely. Theordlnanoi provides tor the erection of powde houses in the city limits , under cer tain conditions , and the mere resolu tion of the council ordering their re moval is not enough to repeal thli ordinance. Oomplalnts were also filed agains Miller & Co. , Stewart Bros. , Gron owog & Sobcontgon , and Empkli Hardware Company. All thesi cases were oontlnuod foi two weeks in order to give tlrat for correspondence with the companiei who own the pow.ior houses. It ii talked that an arrangement may bi made by which the companies maj got a pleco of ground and build al the powder houses upon that. In thai emu an explosion would bo an oxplo < slon indeed. While this hurrah is being ralsoi ubout the powder homes , the city au thorities fthould bo looked after a lit tie also. It IB common talk that th gasoline bought by the city Is afto stored IB largo quantities in the oo\ pound , right in the heart of the city where it is lUble to bo set ablaza a almost any time. Now that cautioner ; measures are the rage , let the city looi out for its gasoline. Remarkable Ecoapa. John Kuhn , of Lafayette , Ind. , had i very narrow escape from death.

The Colorado of to-day , speak ing in a railroad sonao , is not the ter ritory of ton years ago , any more than t In any other sense. Then in order , o reach any plnco in the mountains a wearisome ride in a stage coaeb , on ; ho back of a frolicsome mule or bron cho , or with a frolgbtor'a outfit , were the only moans at command ; now all this Is changed. Almost every mining cam In Colorado la penetrated by the railroad , and parties on busi ness or pleasure intent can lounge in elegant can while they roll through tbo canons or climb the sides cf the mountains and experience no more discomfort than when traveling through the most populous eastern states. Then there were but two lines of railroad from Denver to the Missouri river. Now there are five , 01 what is equal to that number , in addition to the Now Orleans , With this idea in view It is perhaps pertinent at this time to say some thing relative to railroad construction in Colorado , Although the pist two years have witnessed the building of more miles of road than any other two years , yet the building has not been stopped but will bo pushed on. The Tribune last week gave an ac count of the proposed line of the Chicago cage , Burlington & Qulnoy lo Utah , and a wotk before that ground was broken in Ralstan's canyon for an other line into Middle Park. And yet , with all those railroads and with traveling reduced to a science , when the trip to Chicago can be made In ono-half the time of ten years ago , railroad men are turning their nyos to hls , the youngest state in the Union , Tlthia view to building nonr lines or nxtondlng old ones , believing that the uturo will warrant the move. Oor- f lnly , if the next ten years docs as n.uoh for Colorado as the past ton have , there will bo a demand formoro i.ios , and who dors not bollcvo in the f i'nro of the ntatts ? No ono who has a atahcd her come up and take her H'fcoo alongside her older ulstora , can f > r a moment doubt that the prosper- i y of the past decade will bo equaled , ; v > d even exceeded , In the next. Thcae , it ia true , are schemoa , but he signs Indicate that the lines will So built. The Ro ( Grande is pushing "s branches into the remote parta of ha mountains , and has surveys mada now for oxtoniions which , lutall prob- 'bllity , will be built at an early day. The Red Cliff branch is In all prob- bllity to be extended into the new ulnlng districts of Garfield county , ad the SUvorton branch will prob- bly ba pushed to a junction with .it main line at Mont- > so. The South Park road also ta an eye on the Qarfield districts ; nd may , at a moment's notice , push a from Loadrlllo to that country Vo extensions are now in progreia of instruction , both from Gnnnlsou ' 'Uy , ono being to the ooal banks cf ft. Carbon and the ether to Created uttcs. The Now Orleans is making operations for an extension Into ) W Mexico from Puablo , and the inces for rn early start in tbla dlrcc- u are considered good. fn reference to now lines from the t to Denver , it looks very much aa 'to central branch would be built i within twelve months if it can bo ihasod by the Missouri Pacific , : h now controls it by loaao. The ' Island ia another road which 9 of coming , and considerable ex- uiont has boon raised regarding the or that the Northwestern was to Its line itt this direction lmmodl > y. These rumors cannot be vncd , and it would not bo snrprls- ' to hoar at any time that ono or ro of these roads had or was about commence the construction of a lorado lino. c * r Now Liouu tum improvement Co Investigation into the matter con- moos us that one of the most equita- ID , reasonable and feasible plans of ulldlug houaea is that proposed and t operation by the Mercantile Loan , prnnt and Improvement company of f | its city , liy Investing In shares In f nls Institution , which is backed by L ) ome of our boat and most reliable . , huslnoas men , it becomes possible and !
