A. hold another Jitorary and social entertainment at its rooms last evening , and it proved n success and enjoyable - joyablo to all. Some important charges nro made in the time table of the Chicago , Burling ton & Qaincy railway , as will bo soon by another column. Alderman Siedontopf is cutting down a big hill corner of Gray and Plutnor streets , making a desirable lot on which to build a residence. Dr. Woodbury has sold three lots on Eighth street , east of Judge Dimes' resi dence , to S. Fornsworth , who will build thereon a fine residence. The first load weighed , by the now city woighmastor on the now scales was yesterday torday , it being a load of corn by Bennett - , nott , the old street car conductor. Tlio reason given for the non-enforce ment of the dog ordinance and proclama tion is that the committee of the council has not yet found suitable place for a pound. " Paul Wilson , a tinted youth , got very 4- angry because sorao other young colored blood was going with his girl. Ho tried to thrash the girl , and now lies behind the iron bars -waiting for hearing to-day. Lahorn's store at Park's mills is report ed as having boonbrokon into by burglars , who wont through the money drawer , getting a small amount only , and then helping themselves to oorao brandy and cigars. When drunks iu the city jail are too noisy , and begin throwing their wire mattresses about , and spoiling the mar- blo-top furniture , a hose is put on to the hydrant and a stream of cold water ap plied. Alderman Mynstor in stopping out of his buggy placed his foot on the hub of ono of the wheels , nnd slipping sprained his nuklo badly. It will not prevent him from attending the democratic sUto convention. The evening shoot which howls about Tun BKE being unreliable gladly avails itself of the news afforded by TUB Bii ; specials , and which appear in no other paper , and yet fails to give TUB BUB credit for which it purloins. The following have boon elected ves trymen of St. Paul's Kpiacopal church : D. 0. Bloomer , A. W. Street , Iloraco Everett , H. 0. Cory , Marshall Key , Thomas Bowman , John Hawthorn , J. N. Baldwin , W , J. Hancock , A boy baby has entered the world atone ono of the houses of prostitution on Pierce street. If ho lives to manhood ho will find little joy in flinging ' 0h , the house whore I was born. " It is a ead outlook for the now aud innocent life. There was a disgraceful row at Bok- ompor'a saloon Monday night , and as a result Mike Kildaro , Bandy Fords and bis wife Nellie were arrested. The troubleneoras to have arisen about a dog , whisky heing the inspiration. The woman - man was yesterday discharged nnd the two men fined. In registering these who are arrested the police now Jiavo to put down on the book not only the name but ago , nativity and occupation of the prisoner. The book show * that ono of those arrested Monday uigkt was by occupation "a wo man. " A nest little text for thu female fluffntgists. The following Jmve been elected of- ficera of the Y. M. 0.

Omr Bprink , a boy who baa inada a Mtbor hard name for a juvenile , lias got auoibvr boy to skip out with , him , it bo- Mg tb'r declared JnUotion to go to Cal The boys had little money , nnd their friends nro naturally much worried about them. Tlio mayor has telegraphed to various places to see if they can bo found. At the roller skating rink last evening the mile r co wns won by John Eponotor in thron minutes nnd forty-three seconds. Ho having won in three contests now liolds the gold medal permanently. Clms. St. Glair , who wns released from jnil yostord&y , having served n term for stealing n pair of shoos , wnn caught last evening stealing n pair of rubber boots from Bono & Co. , and ngain locked up. Only two days more in which to file your application ior service papers , as will bo soon by the notice of waterworks found in nn other column. Wntcr con sumers will never again have so good n chance to got the work done , nnd mny bo compelled by the council to do it nt nn increased price. F. T. 0. Johnson , who is said to hnvo boon the first fire chief of Council Bluffs , got into trouble yesterday. On his way to the train ho slipped and foil down , nnd as ho got up ho thought it was Ex-Officer Brooks who had tripped him , Brooks atnnding ncnr by. With thia.theory of the causn of hia downfall ho struck Brooks. Officer Motcalf came along , nnd nrrcated Johnson , but nttor some talk with Judge Aylosworth , ho was allowed to go on his way. way.John John Bates , who was fined go nnd costs by Justice Schur/ for assaulting John Ahlos , was before Judge Ayles- worth yesterday on n charge of disturb ing the ponce , it growing out of the same transaction. Ho pleaded guilty nnd wns fined 89.00. The assault on Mr. Allies appears to have boon cowardly and wholly unjustified. Mr. Ahles was standing nt the counter talking with n friend , when Bates , who wna bound to whip somebody , stopped up , nnd without a word , knocked him over. Chris. Anderson wna on a wild drunk Monday night , nnd while in this condi tion is said to have stolen two boxes of cignrs at Strahboni's ' store. Ho pleaded guilty yesterday to being drunk , nnd the larceny case was continued until to-day , and will probably bo settled. The judge , in informing him of the continuance , re marked that the larceny case waa loft hanging over him. Anderson caught the words "larceny , " and "hanging , " and nearly wont down in his boots as ho gasped out , "Hanging , yor honor ? " Ho had the vision of a dangling rope dispell ed by an explanation on the part of the court that ho did not moan to hang him. There Is some dissatisfaction felt and expressed nt the present methods used by the county in giving relief to the poor. In this city it is claimed that while § 10- , 000 n year is used to relieve destitute families , that the relief is not what it should bo , nnd that it is not what it ought to bo with thnt amount of expenditure. At present the overseer gives , orders to poor calling for so many dollars worth of groceries , etc. , the order drawn on some particular store which can charge just such prices as it chooses. It is suggested that the county board shall rccoivo bids , nu'd arrange by contract BO that the poor could got all the provisions possibio for ovary dollar named in the order , or . that the county buy n supply of needfuls at as low n wholesale price ni possible , nnd that the overseer hand out goods instead of ardors. With so largo an oxpodituro It Booms that the county should got its provisions and fuel for its poor at a much lower price than is generally charged whore a dependent presents nn order over the county , leaving the prices nnd quality of goods to the mercy of whatever denier the order is drawn on. < THE HEW POLICE. They arc to lie Arrayed In Full Uni form and 1'nrudo To-day. The now policemen to-day will asuumo motropolitau airs , and ho arrayed in their now clothes , full uniform and all the fin ishes of city poolers. It is expected thnt . they will gather at 2 o'clock at headquart ers , and proceed to the mayor's ollico for inspection. Whether a band of music bo engaged for the occasion ia not known. The police force was summoned at headquarters last evening and before going out on their boats were given a little - tlo talk by the mayor , and seine instruc tions. A numbur of items clipped from the papers of the city , criticising the ac tion of ofllcors , served as thomcs of in quiry and toxta for talks. Among the instructions given were that a policeman in making an arrest shall not stop to parley aim argue with the prisoner , but march him as speedily as possible to the police station , and then return to his ( hi- tics. The mayor was much aroused too at the slowness of officers in suppressing the row at Dekompor'a place Monday night. It ia said that the , fighting had boon going on for a half hour before any police appeared , The mayor expressed the belief that the police we ro trying to do well , but that they did not fully un derstand their duties and realize their powers. With these admonitions and in- atructlotiB , and arrayed in their now uni forms , the Council Bluffs policemen will now bo expected to got right down to business. After thi talk the * mayor was sur prised by Ollioer ftlorso stepping forward and presenting to him in uohalf of the police force an elegant gold-headed cano.

One Case Agaiiist > es , the tieola Express Driyer , Dismissed , lint Another Started , A Crowd of Ncolft AVI I nesses. Yesterday the case of.Chorlos Jones , of Noolix , WOB called before Justice Vouglmn. Jones WAS arrested on the Oth inst. , on the chnrgo of stealing several money packages from the United Slates Express Company , lie was driver of the wn on , and was in the habit of taking the money packages of the agent nt ono depot and delivering to the agent of the other road. It was claimed by Mr. Itobinaon , ono of the agents , that three packages , contain ing about SCO , wore given by him to Jones , and that they never were received by the other agent , and so had Jones ar rested. The case hua excited much com ment in Nooln , and the community has been pretty well divided up on the * matter - tor , many sympathizing with Jones and having confidcnco in him , ho having lived there some years and having n clean rec ord. There soema to have been much ill feeling between the two agents and all sorts of conjectures have been enter tained as to how far this affected Jones' position. When the caao cinio up yes terday there wore about thirty witnesses and others interested , who came from Noola , among them the mayor and other city officers as well an prominent citizens , A. J. IInci appeared for the atato and asked for a continuance on the ground of the absence of a material witness * G. A. Holmes appeared for the defense and resisted the motion. After much discus sion on the part of the attorneys the court decided not to grant the atato any further time to prepare , over a week having been given already , and it ap peared that eight witnesses had been subpoenaed by the state , and it seemed as tf the state ought to bo able to make enough out of thorn to establish a case if they had any caso. The court said there were twenty-three witnesses in all , who , by granting a continuance , would Jiavo to appear again , and the additional expense was not warranted. On failing to gain the continuance Mr. Hunt , moved to have the case dismissed , and it was according ly done , and on motion of Mr. Holmes the costs were taxed up to the prosecut ing witness. Another information was filed before Judge Ayleaworth , and on this Jones was again arrested and gave bonds to ap pear on the 25th. It is claimed that the express company itself has concluded not to take any active steps in following up the prosecution , as the case seems to badly tangled up with personal squabbles at Neola. Twelve of Noola's citizens signed Jones' bond , indicating somewhat the fooling in his behalf. The amount charged in this last information is of ono of the packages only , containing about $10.
