The sewer illicit controversy occupies the attention of the superior court. lilll Ilrowlt was yestcrdav lined for be ing ilnmk and disturbing the pence. In tlio circuit court yesterday the case of liachulur vs. Lunzeiulorfer was still on trial. trial.Tho The Mnmnorclior bad their annual mapqnrrado last night. It was largely attended , and proved to be an enjoyable allair in nil respects. Permits to marry were yesterday granted to Lenis Nelson and Esther Ota- ROD , both of this city ; Hugh llaywopd and Mary Keiniand , both ot Macedonia. It has been discovered that the city treasurer on retiring for his Miocessor to take thu ollico IKIH about $2-1,000 to turn over , \vbilo Ills bonds are only $ -0,000. This lias led the council to rai.su tlio amount of the treasurer's bonds to $10- 000. and this amount will not be cheer fully and easily given by the new treasurer. John L. Howe lias secured a judgment against tlio eity for fll.noo for city war- runts hold by him. llio judgment will probably bo paid off by a special levy for the judgment fund , and this will reduce the amount of outstanding warrants materially. Other judgments in favor of those who have been buying up warrants lit u discount will doubtlehs'follow. George Kimball , who sc.cms a little cracked , and who is enthusiastic ! at times as a street preacher , was yesterday f > o boisterous on the street that the police. took him in , and would not let him loose until he promised to go home and keep still. It seems that the unfortunate man is not much farther out of balance than fcoino others who are allowed to shout themselves hoarse on the streets and who talk hardly more sensible. G. U. Dodge , .secretary of the Grand DeTour I'low company of Dixon , Illi nois , is expected hero this week , and will doubtless investigate the advisability of tlio company erecting tlio proposed building here this season. The company purchased ground near David Bradley & Uo.'s warehouse three years ago , and in tended lo build the year following , but have delayed doing so. With the boom now opening for Council lilulls tlio com pany may bo induced to build this sea son. Is It a Genuine Veto ? There is a funny game of now you see it , and now yon don't going on about the ollico of mayor of the city. Mayor Vaiichan , whoso term is about to expire by the will of the people and by kindly providence , sent his resignation to the newspaper oflices , as n free advertisement of some book that he is about to publish , and which is going to take all his time. Tlio council at ite last meeting made in quiry as to whether any such document hud been tiled with the clerk , and conlu get no information of its existence , Further than what they had seen in the papers. Alderman Mynster , as president of the council , has been recognized as the acting mayor , until Colonel Chap man takes Iiis seat. Mayor Vaughan lett foi Now York the tirst ot tlio week. Now after resigning tlio ollico of mayor , and a mayor temporarily serving , and : i now mayor about to come in , another remarkable able- document is made - public , purport ing to bo a veto filed yesterday with the city clerk , alleging lo bo signed by "W. U. Vaughan , mayor , mayor's oflice , Council Bluffs , March 9 , 1880. " This al leged veto is on tlio ordinance passed Monday night by the council making tlio salary of the city engineer $1,250 , and that of the city attorney a like amount , instead of $1,000 as before. "Tho little mayor of my city" seems to be capable of doing raany tilings , but tliis is bis latest double act sensation. The ground sot up for the alleged veto is that it is a dangerous precedent to es tablish. Strange enough the veto does not contain anything about his now book. nor about tlio nmonnt of paving and fitrcol lilling which lias been done while hu has been mayor ; not a word about how much ho has done for the working- men. This causes the document to bo looked on with suspicion , and it can hardly bo credited as having been ac tually written by the mayor , his car marks being so startlingly absent. A Ilotclicd Job. The newly-published book alleged to contain the eity ordinances , compiled and codified , has boon pretty thoroughly ex- nmined , and the council , as well as oth ers who have scon it , sustain the criticisms made by the UKK. The book contains a great deal of dead matter , many ordi nances being printed which are of no sort of use now , and the matter thrown to gether , is .stretched out until it takes twice tlio space that it ought. Thu contract was with Col. Keatloy to do the work of com- Dilation and codification for 500 , and the Glebe to do tlio printing , tlio bill of thu latter being over $1,000. The council has justly rejected the book , as not up to contract. Tlio job was given as a fat take for the democratic organ , but it proves to bo rather a loss. The chief fault is laid at tlio door of Col , Keatloy , thu printeiu being supposed to simply ( oIow ) copy , and the compiler being re sponsible for thu preparing of thu copy and the reading of proofs. Mr. Itowman himself frankly admitted to tlio council that the work was a botch , and seemed disposed to do anything that was fair in the matter. Tlio work had cost him over f 500 already , ami ho wanted to arrange noino way of getting out of it whole , lie acknowledged that it was not tlio kind of n book which the contract called for , anil was not ona of which ho was proud. Thu council talked the mutter over Informally with him , and at last decided to advance $500 on the agreement that thu Glebe should go ahead and gut out a book which conio mi to tlio contract.

GRIM DEATH'S ' SPEEDY DART It Strikes Down Robert Pcrcival , the Well Known Attorney , BOTCHED MUNICIPAL PRINTING. Tlic How Over llalshiR Snlnrfcs An Alleged Veto Tlio Wnlmih Changes-Other Doings In tlio HlufiH. ItnlMng City Snlnrlcs. The attempt to raise tlio salaries of tlio city attorney and city engineer at the last meeting of tlio old council called out n spirited discussion. Tlio previous reso lution called for tlio preparation of an ordinance making tlio salary of each of these oniccrs $1,500 , instead of $1,000. This ordinance was accordingly pre sented. There were only live members of the council present , and it required tliolr unanimous vote to suspend the rules for the passage of the ordinance. It was the last show for passing such an ordi nance , for with the incoming of the new ollicors such a raise would bo illegal during thulr term of ofllce , so that it meant then or not for two years to come. Alderman Shugart alone held out against such a raise. His position was that t should have been donn before election , it at all , but that when tlio matter was weeks ago rcfcircd to a committee it was de cided not to do anything about it , and tlio committee did not even report. Now that men had run for the olllec , and boon elected , with the understanding that the salary should be $1,000 , ho did not be lieve that it was fair to raise tlio salaries , although it might legally bo done. The salaries of the mayor and otlior city olllecrs was too low , but there was no de mand for a J also of these , and iie did not believe it was rijiht to just raise these two. , , T The city attorney waxed warm. Ho know that many of his friends hud voted for him with the distinct understanding that the salary should bo increased , and lie had been given the same assurance long ago by all tlio aldermen except Mr. Shugart. There was a great deal more litigation hero than in DCS Monies , and yet that city paid ! ? 2100. Council Bluffs paid less than any city in the state. I hero had been more work than in any previ ous year , and the coining year promised a great deal more. If the council proposed to help out a depleted treasury by taxing him several hundred dollars by actually robbing him of his justeatnings , he could stand it as well as any one. Ho shonla stand bv tlio people , out if the council was gofng to pinch him down to nothing , they must take the consequences. Ho should feel at liberty to resign at any tinu' , and then tlio city could employ some attorney and sec what it would cost. Alderman Shugart oficred to compro mise by voting for a salary of $1,850. This was to include tlio services as attor ney for the Board of Health , which amounted to about $250 last year , so that the total would bo about the same as be fore. Mr. Holmes would not stand this. Ho didn't want to have any compromise. Ho would donate the $850 to the church es if the council wanted to go into that sort of business. The city engineer's sal ary should , however , bo made $1,500. It was an outrage to make it any less. The ordinance was at last amended seas as to make tlio salary of each § 1,250 , and thus it was passed by a unanimous vote. Tlio city attorney then warned the re porters not to announce that ho had had his salary raised. It had not been raised. For the amount named in the or dinance the salary amounted to about what lib received last year , for now ho had to do all the work for the board of health , without any of the extra compen sation which was allowed him last year. The city engineer's ollico is growing more and more important yearly , and there is no doubt that an engineer who attends to his duties earns much more than he receives. The office of eity attorney is also becoming - coming very laborious , and the salary is indecdsmall. Alderman Mynster openly declared that if tlio salary was raised to $1,500 and he was offered the position he would not look at it. The salary even then would not compensate for the loss of private patronage and the amount of la bor involved. Substantial abstracts of title and real estate loans. J. W. & E. L. Squire , 101 Pearl street , Council Bluffs. Robert Percival Strloltcn. The startling news spread through the city yesterday that Robert Poreival had boon stricken with apoplexy and was dying. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon Mr. Pcrcival was in his lawWlice consult ing with Judge Casady about matters of business and examining some papers. Mr. Pcrcival was seated at the table , his hand resting on his head , when he sud denly groaned with pain , as if his head was bursting , and staggering to iiis feet exclaimed "this isawful. " Judge Casady helped him to reach a sofa and UH he was suffering intensely insisted on having him taken home , but Mr. Porcival said it would bo over in a few minutes , and a moment later ho sunk into u comatose Htato from which there was no arousing. A carriage was summoned and Mr. Per cival WHS taken to Ids rooms at the resi dence of Mrs. Sanders on Eighth street. Drs. Soybort. Green and Lacy wore im mediately called in but they pronounced his case as hopuloss. The examination showed that a blood vessel in the brain had been burstcd , and thai the end could not bo far off. Ho lay in this comatose condition all the afternoon , while friends throughout the city wore anxiously in quiring the latest from his bedside , hoping that by some unforeseen change life might bo spared him. They worn doomed to disappointment , however , for at flUO : last night Mr. Porcival passed to the great beyond , his death being peace ful and tranquil. Mr. Piii'cival has been one of the most prominent attorneys in western Iowa , lie was born in Nova Scotia , and had about reached his throu score years , lie came to Iowa whun a young man , and guttled in I'rumont county. He was a car- pouter by trade , and throughout Ills lifo lias had a warm bide to those who labor with thfiir hands. .Ono of his common remarks has been that it takes more brains to plane out a railing for a wind ing btairwav than to hu a lawyer. In his early years ho taught fcchool in Fremont county , and there are residing hero now borne who had tlio prhvlgo ot being his pupils. Turning his attention to law , he rapidly trained n high t-tandlng , nnd a lucrative practice. In politics hu was an cnthusiHhtio democrat , and > V K often tlio local leader in days when there was no prospect for n victory as the reward of any campaign , huwovor brilliant. Ho has never hold any political otlices , although Ids minus has boon frequently urged.

The suddenness of the calamity and the prom inence of the man thus stricken down cast n gloom over many circles in this city , and called forth the tenderest sym pathy and deepest sorrow.

Vau lin , the Original Uank Note Forger " \Vlmt licil to 1HH Downfall. Now York Letter in Cleveland Leader : In 1757 a merchant in London by the name of Bliss advertised for a clerk and selected from tlio applicants Richard W. Vaughn , who , after a time , succeeded in winning the confidence of his employer to such an extent thattlic clerk was taken to the merchant's homo nnd made a wel come visitor. Mr. Bliss hud a young sis ter with whom Mr. Vaughn immediately fell in love , and as his application for the position of brother-in-law was of much more importance than his former on-j for a clerkship his past record was carefully searched and it was found that ho had mot with a disastrous failure in business and was consequently a bankrupt , with many liabilities and unpaid debts. Ho was told that ho could never bo accepted as n suitor for the young laity's hand un til everything ho owed had "boon pidd in full. Ho seemed discouraged at this de cision and expressed the opinion that the task was impossible , but finally returned to his love's family with tlio happy intel ligence that he had fallen heir to a largo property and could more than liquidate all his debts. Ho showed a number of bank notes in proof of his assertion and actually gave Miss Bliss live new twenty- pound notes. About tliis time the authorities at the Bank of England wore much troubled by the appearance of a few forged notes. With little difficulty detectives traced the forgery to Richard Vaughn. He admit ted his guilt. It was attempted at his trial to prove ho had not meant to put them in circulation , but only to win a wife with them. This defense , however , was useless , as ho had passed them. He was found guilty of torgery , which in those days was a capital offense , and he paid the pcnaltv of his misdeeds on the scaf fold. History docs not state what be came of the girl who was the innocent temptation. Vaughn lias tlio doubtful honor of hav ing led the way in bank note forgery. At that time an imitation was a much easier matter than it is at present , tlio note it self being only partly engraved , the amount , the name of the payee and the signature of the cashier being supplied in writing. COACHMAN AND DUDE. High-biro WccliliiiKS Ittlo ! IMfTcr- cncc Between Mistress and Maid. Lancaster Examiner : In another col umn will be found an account of the mar riage of Mr. Robinson , the coachman of Mr. William Al. Singerly , of the Philadel phia Record. After reading we wonder what difference there is netween this coachman and tlio usual grooms in high life. As some one remarked the other day , it is hard to tell the difference be tween a sfCOO clerk and an $800 cook in a dress suit. The dross suit and fashion are great levelers. Mr. Robinson's col ored ushers , the bridal veil , the wedding march , the trip in n palace car , etc. , wo have heard over and over again. We are glad to see that tlio Jenkinses of the press arc paying as much attention to the mar riage of the coachman as to the dude. And pray , why not ? A coachman is of some use in this world. He works for Ids living and as a laborer is entitled to our respect. Half the men married in high life , whoso only claim to social recognition consist in a fair-sized pocketbook - book , a dress coat and u diamond , are never heard ot till they land in a divorce court. The coachman of Mr. Singerly is entitled to as much space in a big news paper as the son of an Astor. Attcr all , there is little difference between mistress and maid. Both will langh till their cor sets crack over the bonnet of a simple country girl. But let fashion say that bonnet is the proper thing and botli mis tress and maid will grow excited over its beauties for hours. Their ambition is the samo. Both are apt to dream of a coach and fo'nr and a handsome groom , witli a dark moustache. So , gentle maiden and most reverend seignior , read this account of Mr. Robinson's marriage nnd learn this lesson that society is largely a matter of dress coat and that a lord , parvenu and coachman can bo equally made great by a reporter'b fancy and cold type. AMBITIOUS COLORADOIANS , The Swarm of Millionaires W ho Want to Succeed Senator Tom liowcn. Although Senator "Tom" Bowon's term does not expire until 1889 , Colorado politicians a 'c already deeply interested in the question who shall bo his successor. A Denver man says : "We can sho\y up the livlicst lot of millionaires seeking a scnatorship you over saw anywhere. I think there must bo a round do/en of them who are aspirants , not to mention Bowen him.self , who of course is willing enough to succeed himself. If they should all pool issues they could buy up the whole state , but in a light at cross pur- puso.s the btato if , safe. In the tirst place. ox-Senator N. P.'IIill ' , who was defeated by Senator Teller , will scuk an election. He owns the republican daily paper at Denver , and is worth several good mil lions , Ex-Senator J. B. Chalice would like to round up his career by another trip to Washington on public account. Ex-Governor John L. Routt is in tlio Hold. He and Chaffec , and I think Ta bor , were in the pool that downed Hill. Tabor , who had u month in the senate , would like six years at it. Ho has been having ups ana downs of fortune , mostly downs , for some time , but the strike in the Henrietta mine sot him on ids feet again. S. II , Elbc-rt. the bright son-in- law of ox-Governor Evans , would like the place and his father-in-law is trying to got it for him. H.O is the supreme judge of the state court , W. S , Jackson , who is somewhat known as Helen Hunt's hus band , would bo glad to gut the position in order to be kn wn for himself. He is receiver of the P < nver & Rio Grande rail road. E , T. Wei. . , , a capitalist , is open for the engagement. So is ex-Govornor Benjamin 11. Ea.on , , ex-Governor Fred erick K. Pitkin i nd Moses Hallott , the United States district jutige. George M , Chilcott , who ser ud the short term when tlio stnto was udihitlcd , is desirous of try ing a full term , and General E. B. Sopns wouldn't object if the wires could bo pulled for him. I think that is quite n nosegay of millionaires , 'i doubt if any other Male can present such an array of rich ami ambitious poluieiaus. , " OIN AS A BLKAUHEK. The Reason Why , Colored Ijlkc Thnf Itovcrngc. "Come hcah you Jtfsio gal an1 drink ' " tiic words addressed up yo' gin , were to n buxom ncgress. at the Union Pacific depot this morning. "Foab. do Lawd's sake , Kill King , I'so dun bin drinkln' gin cbcr sin' wo dun leave Shecargo. Go way dab , yon brack coon. Do you'so wantcr got mo drunk ? " ' The idea of n person .refusing to take a modest potation of gin was so utterly preposterous in the eyes of the first speaker that ho could not utter .1 sound. Ho eyed the woman contemptuously for ix few seconds , nnd then sauntered back to the Union Pacific- car , which was standing upon the track. The next mo ment the car window was raised , and a black head nnd glistening , white teeth were protuded , ami a clear , tenor voice trolled out : "It she drink notcin with me , What care 1 her grin to sec. " "Dat's jess like dat ole Kill King , " said Josic as she paced to and fro upon the platform. ' 'He UIIKS I'm stuck on drinkin1 his ole gin. Why , fonli wo dun gone loavo.Shccargo ho usotor say when no sawd mo comitr 'long dc street : 'Ileali conies dat air Josie gal , let's go hub a drink obgin. ' " As she spoke , the woman gave a lurch tolcownrd which made the engineer of nn incoming train think think that a dan ger signal had been displayed upon the track to dense was the fleeting shadow cast by the quick movement. A call from the interior of the car. however , revived her and she proceeded to join the rest of the ijarty who were comfortably seated within. They were four in number add they were taking advantage of the re duced rate to visit San Francisco. Whun a reporter for the KKB approached Bill King and his wife were busily engaged in trying to cheat Jo.iio and her husband in a game of high live. The stakes were contained in n square black bottle which hung carelessly ironi the rack above , to which it was fastened by a string. " Low. Jaek , lire twenty-two , " ejacu lated Jc sic suddenly as she reached for thu black bottle which hung invitingly near her capacious month. "Dare now , you ole Guy , Bill King , you ! You dtoan * git nullin to drink dis 'ere time. Gndo Lawda , how we darkies does luf gin I" and the liquid trickled down her throat at a rate which would make electricity blush for shame. "Hab some honey , " turning to the reporter , "hab some. It am iiowcrfull gutlo , " again the neck of the bottle was thrust between her teeth and the gurgling sound silenced the throbbing of an adjacent engine. "Do colored people like gin bettor than any other beverage ? " asked the reporter as lie declined the proffered bottle. "Yes , as sartin's you're alive , sail. You betdeydoos.
