Now spring goods nt Keller's. Yesterday nftornoon A. C. Loftier nntl Mary White , of Omiihn , wuro married by Justice Frninuy in Ills ollice. Mr. nnd Airs. J. Y. Fuller entertained nt their residence last evening a number of their frhnds at a card party. Tlio necessity of hnving 1'onrl street paved is growing moro apparent dally. This season should sco the work done. Uuanclln , finding himself cho cn mar- slml for two yours more , has ( -.old his gro cery store to Isaac nnd Hunry Clients * . Permit to wed was yesteulay given to A. C. Ltiller nntl Mary While , both of Omaha : Thomas Dewless and Hose Woth- crford , both of Florence , Nebraska. Seven nioro were arrested yesterday as vagrants. Three of them weio boys from Creston , who claimed to be passing through here for Uhmlron. They weio discharged. A little girl , iClla McCarthy , wns bitten by n. dog belonging to Hugh Oliver ns sfio wns passing along Bancroft htroot. The fact coming to the knowledge of the owner of the dog , ho had the marshal shoot the offending animal at once. Chief Templeton is looking sharply after violations of the lire ordinance. Tlioro 1ms been ti great deal of laxity in regard to this , all sorts of building : ) being put tip within the lire limits during the past two years. The ordinance is now to bo en forced strictly. There is a good deal of feeling between the lival'bus lines. Two of the drivers. William Jeffries nntl William Bancroft , got to quarrelling nt tlio dummy depot as to which was entitled to u passenger , and their language was to loud ami dirty that both were arrested. Judge Love nnd Judge Slilras were both holding courts yesterday. Before the former the case of Green vs Ncgloy wns being tried. The plaintiff leased an elevator to the defendant , and claims that the defendant overloaded it so that it fell down. Judge Shiras spent the day In hearing equity cases. There have been numerous complaints made about u vicious do kept as u watch nt Mrs. Davis' sccoiul hand store on Broadway , and yesterday an information was filed against her. She appeared in court and promised to have the dog sent away if the ease could bo dropped. The matter was settled by the dog being or dered to leave the city within twenty-four hours. Several merchants and property own ers on Broadway are clubbing together to have electric lights hung from the cen ter of the street , thus giving light to their places of bnsiiu's.s , and proving n. public convenience. One such light is to bo Wi ( . . and another hung nenr tno upuiu . . , . . . , near the corner of Scott and Brondwny. Others will doubtless follow the example thus set. The freight superintendents of the various roads gathered hero yesterday , there being 1. N. Button of the Milwau kee & St. Paul , J. A. McMillan of the Union Pacific , E. H. Francito of the Wabash , II. II. Cadwalader of the C. , B. & Q. , H S. Iliggins of the Kock Island , C. A. Barnhard of the K. C. & St. Joe , J. O. Clifford of the O. & N. W. The busi ness of tlieso railroaders was to check up nnd talk over the various matters usual to the monthly meeting. Yesterday morning a linn man mot John N. Baldwin , of { the law firm of Wright. Baldwin & llaldano , who ever Binco the first of the present month has licon on the Pacinc slope. As during Mr. Baldwin's absence reports have been cir culated to the effect that he expected to make California his future homo , and also that the primary object of his visit was to secure bonds for Dr. E. D. Cross , who Is still confined in Fort Madison prison unable to secure bondsmen , the BEJ : mnn asked Mr. Baldwin if either of tlieso reports wore true , to which ho re plied that they were not , und that his trip wns ono of pleasure alone. II. Bcccroft , who recently purchased of Jnko Kodgors the old 'bus and baggage line , and who is continuing to run it as the "Council Binds Omnibus nnd Bag- page Trnnster Line , " is greatly annoyed at thu fact that another Hue has started up , of which Lewis & Arnd tire the pro prietors. Ho claims they are not playing lair in adopting a name similar to that used by him. and which has been in use for years. The name under which the now line runs Is so similar , he claims , that it injures his business. He therefore wants an injunction , to restrain them from using their present name for their line , and force them to christen it some thing entirely different from that which ho uses. Getting Tlolcot Offices. The Chicago & Northwestern railroad company now have an uptown ticket of- lice. Mr. Babcoek , their general agent , having received a telegram from the gen eral ticket agent ot the Wabash road giving the Northwestern permission to move into the Wabash ticket odlco , ho yesterday had the liukct case removed to tlio Wnbash corner. J. C. Mitchell , who has been the Wn bash ticket agent for the past live years , is the agent. Thu agency falls into ex cellent hands , and the many friends of Mr. Mitchell will congratulate him. This addition now gives Mr. Mitchell the agency of five roads , viz : The Chicago cage iV Northwestern , the Sioux City & Pacific , Missouri Paoilic , Council Bluffs & St. Louis and the Wnbash , St. Louis & Paeillo. TJio Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul road has not yet been able to secure an uptown ollicc. nnd if they propose to have ono thcro is little doubt but they will bo compelled to go In alone.

An important decision 1ms boon ren dered in the United Stales circuit court li.V Judge llrcwcf , romnndintt bnck to the fiinto court thosaloon cases started in this city. The decision involves about forty case ? , and the prohibitionists are rcjoic- iittf in what limy deem a decision which will soon ctiablo them to close the saloons. Thusocascs were started before Judge- Connor , and tltn defendants made a motion to have them sent to the United States courts. The question was Mib- milted to the federal courts , but the cases were- not transferred , they being still kept on the docket of .ludgo Comior's court. Now that the federal court re mand ? the eases , tlioro seems not much of 11 show for longer delay in securing the injunctions , and Ihn prahlbilionists will nppiy to .ludgo Connor for the in junctions at once. 'J he saloon men are naturally much exercised , ai.d know hardly what to do. Some are disposed to pay the city the regular license and com ply with the requirement tor closing saloons Sundays , etc. , in order to get whal protection the city can give , if any. Others do not see how the. city can give any protection , and that their only hope is in futtiro litigation , and that their money should go for that , instead of for a license which avails nothing. Daily con ferences are being held to decide upon future action. An appeal is to be taken from the decision , ami .some hope is felt that delay may bo thus gained. A. Ovciton vsVllllam \ Lacy and 1'atrick Lucy. This wnsnmocfcilinKcomtncnct'd in tlieclicnlt court of tno Tlmtruntli judicial dis- tiict of Io\\n , under section 15ii : of the code , In which It wasclinrKi'dthatdcfcndaiits weio maintaining a nuisance by keeping a saloon. and piayed that they be enjoined and nuisance abated. A petition and bond for re moval weie tiled and case transfcircd to this court. A motion to icmmid is made. The questions Involved aio whether inocccdinus to enforce the mohlbitory law nio lemovahlc into the ledeini rouits. Similar cases have aiiscn In the state of Kansas , and In deciding those I prcpaicd an opinion which llilo with this as oxpipsslnc my views. Tlicio is n Kciicinl snnlhulty between the statutes of the two states , and while by icahon of feme minor differences between them ( ivoiy uxpicsslon in that opinion many not be strictly uccinato when applied to this case. yet I sec no such dltfeicnco as calls for the wiitiiiK of a separate and lull opinion. Tlieic Is ono matter which palls for Mime notice. Theie nio two defendants , one a landlord and the other a tenant ; ono the owner of the liuildlnir , the other the keeper ot thu saloon. The petition nllccos that prior to .1 nly , IbS-l , the sale ot ale , beer and vinous llqnois was not moliibiled ; that piior to that day deloiulaiit tenant leased the building for a term of years extending beyond July 4 , . i v.\t tnr jlc | nxrCiSg , , purpose ot orciipyjng tlie same as a raloln ; ; that ny inn nui o uu . . iioliibitcd from using the building for any ) thiT purpose , and that prior to tlmt ditto de- lendnnt had , at an expense of 5:1,000 : , pro- cnicd appioprlnte lixtmcs , furnltiuc. etc. , for carrying on the business , and that said ixtiiic.s , etc. , mo adapted cr.Iy for said business ; that prior to said date the defendant landlord , had nt an expense of Sl.OCO prepared the building- 'or .said use. Upon tlu-su facts It is urged hat thcro is a direct invasion and dc.strnc- ion of propcity ilnhts , made sacicd by the Fourteenth amendment against any state attacks. * * * * The argument presented Is that nt a time when the tialllc in ale , wine and beer was , i'gal , defendants engaged in it , tlui ono lit- ; in up ills building and the other buying lixtmcs , etc. , for it. that a contract of lease was entoicd Into for the use of the building Tor that purpose and none other , that the landlord's security tor lent will bo dost toyed if the business is stopped , nnd that the value of the improvements , lixturcs , etc. , designed and adapted for this use nnd none other , will 1)0 dcstioycd it bitch use is lestiniucd. 1 nm not Insensible to the dillicnltlcs pre sented by the foiocolng facts , nor do 1 moan toalllrni that lioni them does not .sprint : a question which calls for examination by tlio snpinnie coutt of tiio United Stales , and which will challenge Its most soilous consid- ci.ition , yet I think them arc sutilcient ica- sons for holding that they present no case lor removal. Fhst Tlie enforcement of tlio penal laws of a state , or those designed to promote the uood otdcr nnd morals oil .society , should hp left to the courts of the state , non coiihtat. but that if rights of property in any partlcn' lar case are Invaded , tlieso courts will pio" tect , and no occasion ever bo pipi-eiitcd for challenging tlio attention ol the federal courts. Second Removal should not be allowed tin- Jess tlio jtuisdletlon of the ledeial courts is clear. Ihlul Even though a federal question bo Involved no removal can bo had unless the amount in contioversy bo S500. The amount does not limit review by the supreme com t oE the United States on writ of error to tlio state court , but does limit tlio right of 10- moval bftlnio dial , nndtheioforothcie should bo no reasonable doubt as to the amount In contioversy. It is not distinctly avoired that the lease hetoro July 4 , 1SS1 , Is still In force. It may have expired bufoio this pro ceeding wascoinmeneed. Ifso.no contract obligations , no piopcrty rights are distnibcd. The costs ot improvements , fixtures , etc. , Is alleged , but not the pie.ient value. They may to-day bo so injuied or detcrrioatcd In value as to bo worth much less than S.VX ) . Com ts also talco judicial notice of matters ol common knowlcdtu * . and no allegations con- tiadicting such matters nio to bo regaidcd. Many of the fixtures of a saloon , ns chairs , tables , etc. , nro of equal valno for many pur poses ; othcis , Mich as decorations , cmmteis , etc. , are ol eont-ldciablo valno for some pur poses lunch stands , restaurants and the like. Most of them nio removable without injiuy to the building , and the building itself ii > avnllabh ) for the c.urylng on of many kinds of business.

Senator Carson of lids county has sue- reeded in getting Ids bill passed in thu senate punishing drnnkonness. While others have been framing leglblatlon to punish the sellers , ho has boon nt work devising some way of stopping the buyers. His bill provides for thu first oflenso of intoxication a line of $10 , or throe days' work on thoetrccts ; for the second oHunso a line of25 , or work on the btrcots for six days ; for the third oflbiuo a fine of 550 , or twelvn daye1 work on the streets. Sonntor Carson made a longthysr.eech . In favor of the measure , portions of which were ns follows : Wldln my associates have been talking I have becu tlilnklu ? . and Imvo icnchid the conclusion that It thcio weio no buyers there \\ruld be. no sellers ; that If there were no itiunlctrds thcro would be no legislation on thu subject. .

And how giaud It would be If it could lie said of every man as MntK Anthony , in the last staiua of his speech at Oa-sar's innrial. Slmkcspcnio hashlm s'iy : "Ills life was gentle ; the ele ments weio so mixed In him that natuio might stand upntid say to all the woild , this was a man.

So can wo say of the battle that has bouu rasing in Iowa for so many yeais the leal and most daugeiotis enemy has been psimltted to hold his lines and look on and laugh to sec the battle waged against another than Ihc real toe. And now let us "about face" nud attack the icnl enemy. When CJo'igh signed the pledge he was laughed nfnnd jeered. When he had signed the piomisi to abstain , he turned to ward those who taunted him and said : ' -Why do yon laugh at me ? Am 1 not a man' . " ' My lilcud tiom Pace eloquently told us , the other dtiy that "fifty thousand am going down every year into the dnik pit ot de spair. " Now , why not close tip the pit and compel this army to halt. Oougli used to vividly dcsciibo the man who was In a boat niovo the Kalis ot N'agara quietly iloaling down tow aid the gieat cataract , a man far above the falls shouted fiom the bank.

It Is with no feclingof hatred that this measure Is pro posed , but to compel men to icllcct and maintain their manhood. Now Silks received to-day at Harkncss Brothers. A Wife Murderer. Ill yesterday's Dnn dispatches appeared the following : INM > IAXA1'OL1R , Maicti 23. At Hngcis- town , Wayne county , this afternoon , W. S. Bates and wife quanvJlcd , and the woman struck Dates with an axe. handle. Ho wicstod the weapon from her. struck hr > r a blow with it , and then made a slash at her with a pocket knife , nearly beheading her. The woman fell to the iloor dead. Bates was arrested. The Bates named in the telegram is an old Council Bltill'H boy. commonly known here as Still Bates. The fact of his being the same was confirmed yesterday by a private teleirram to his brothers here , stating that he had killed his wife , but giving no further particulars. The news was a sad shock to his relatives hero , who fei'l keenly the disgrace enor mity of the crime. Bates' father was an old resident of this city , and quite prominent , haying at ono time been mayor of the city. This son has been reckless uiul much given to drink. When sober ho was an excellent worker , ami of kindly disposition , but when drunk he was far to the other extreme , whisky making him to bo feared by all who came in contact with him. Ho was repeatedly nrrcsted hero for being drunk a id for lighling , and as frequently promised to reform. Mrs. Bates was born in Illinois , nnd her folks afterwards moved to In diana , where the tragedy occrured. Last fall Bates seemed determined to lead a dillerent sort of u life , if ho could only get away from old associates. In this nope his friends hero helped him lo get back to Indiana witli his family , but it seems that the change led to no great re ' form. The news of the terrible'tragedy came ns a great shock to the friends here , although it was not wholly inconsistent with some ot his wild lits of temper as shown hero when drunk. This leads to the supposition that ho must have been drtmk when ho thus killed his wife. They itad two bcautifuljittlo girls , ono about 4 years of ago. thu otlior7. Mrs. Bates had relatives in Hager town , and her brother is the city murnhal of that place. Moro Dress Patterns received at Hark- ness Brothers. Money to loan by Forrest Smith. Porxounl A.
