Trouble continues between Patrick White and his ex-wife The latest from the mislit couple is the filing of a com plaint , by him , charging her with being an habitual drunkard and a vagrant. Jus tice I'ralnuy is to hear the case. Yesterday while some boys were piny- iny in the yard of a hou e on Sixth street and Seventh avenue they found the lower half of a human li-g buried under a few inches of dirt. After being taken to police headquarters the leg was again buried. A Mam street car team took a lively run .yesterday , and one of the horses , by tluHhing against the platform of the Rock ] shuildepot [ got so badly hurt that he had to bo shot. The team broke away from the car , so that there was no damage < lone to it. The music teachers and musicians of lo-iva are to have a convention in DCS Moincs May 4 , 5 and 0. Miss Julia E.

As one of the atlor incidents of the late cyclone , it is stated that when the freight train of eighteen cars was blown oil' the track nt Coon Rapids , one car alone re mained. It was discovered that it was n carload of beer. Doubtless the cyclone feared that it would bo called on to pay u line for handling beer v/ithout a county permit. Mayor Chapman has set a good ex- nmple in removing the fcnco from the front of his residence property. This is to bo the style this year , and the roaming bovines will have to be koptfrom running nt largo. The appearance of much of the residence portion of the city will bo greatly improved by the removal of fences , and the removal of the stock at largo will bo n no less improvement over the past. The chief of police got after a mad dog yesterday , which was much ploasautcr than having the mad dog get after him. lie found that the dog had no hydropho bia , but that ho had got tired following a wagon in from the country , and , coming jogging along with his tongue out , had caiibetl alarm by his appearance. The only thing the dog seemed mad about was because ho couldn't ' keep up with the wagon. David Dunklo scorns to bo in hard luck. Someone started the story that ho was circulating ti petition against the confir mation of his old friend , Thomas How- man , ns postmaster , which statement Dunklo flatly denies. Now ho has lost his poeketbook containing several hun dred dollars in notes , having dropped it some whore between the transfer and the business pnrt of the city. Council Hind's has the same experience as other cities in the matter of special delivery service from the postofllco.

The fast stopper took the marshal around on iv lively whirl among the saloons , the marshal giving notice to those concerned that they must step up to the captain's of- Jleo and settle under the "pop" ordin- unco , or prepare for war. Nearly all those thus notified expressed n readiness to pay a license so long as they were per mined to run.

A Variety of Spicy nml Newsy Items Gathered In the HlufTfl liy the DIIHV Hcc. ClmtH on Curbing. The attention of tlio public lias been drawn to the manner in which parts of ho stone curbing have so quickly crittu- jled away. There seems to bo n great diversity of opinion as to the causes. Some claim that it is one kind of stone hat .Ims crumbles away , and others that t is an entirely different kind. Tim fact seems to be that the fault is not con lined o any particular stone , but that it is ap parent in stone from almost every quarry represented here. J. C. Reagan , the well \nown contractor , wns hero yesterday , uid the ! ! IK : man asked him what ho thought about it. "The trouble is not confined to any par- eular quarry , but more or less to all of them. The fact is that stone used for curbing is subjected to the most severe Icsts of stone used anywhere. Yon sco llie stone is set on edge , anil exposed to : ho weather from all sides. Moisture settles on top and beneath it , it is frozen mil thawed , and if a stone will give way mywhere it is in curbing. Nearly all thu stone which is used hero for curbing is from western quarries , that is , quarries from around this part of the country. In nearly all these quarries there are good nnd bad stones. There arc two which Jiavo crumbled badly , and they nro almost ; oed for nothing. Those Moncs each side > f them are pretty good. One of them will last for ages. Tlio other one has a bad back , but the front is good for years. Now the fact is that ho.sc stones arc all from the same quarry. It doesn't do to say that stone from any spceial quarry is ( he only iind that is poor , or that from : i certain quarry all the .stono is good. " "What is tlio trouble , then , and how is t to be avoided ? " "Tho trouble is mainly this : All this stone is stratified of course. Now in many of these quarries there are streaks or strata of soft stone , like soapstone sort of rotten , elavish , and all that. Now when a curbstone has more or loss of these softer strata , they crumble away when exposed to the weather. The softer spots do not stand the moisture , the free/- ng and the thawing , and there is where ; lu. < mischief conies in. Perhaps right from the same quarry you will get stone that are solid clear through , and they will stand forever almost. These softer strata and streaks arc to be found in nearly all the quarries in this part of the conntrv. Now in some places , say around Cleveland , where there are whole blnll's of solid stone , there arc big quantities of stone. Much farther west ot hero : hero are also some sucli quarrie s. " "But cannot an inspector notice these poor stones and throw them out , instead if letting thc'in bo put in ? " "Yes , an old stone man could tell , if he watched closely , but in many cities they iiut on some man for political purposes , ind a broken-down politician can hardly ell the bad stones. One way of telling liem is by tlio color. These soft streaks lave a bluish tinge generally , a , diflcrcnt shade from the rest of the stone. " > . "It would cost a good deal more to get stone from the cast than from the far west , wouldn't it ? " "Not so much more as many suppose. It might cost ten cents a running foot , or such : i matter , more than what this stone Iocs. The additional cost of putting in jood material would not amount to nncli. As I said just now , the curbing is mt to a severe test , and it ought to be tlio very best kind of stone to stand it. " "Tex" now invites Ins friends to call on Mm at Lucy's old stand. 'Tex" now invites his friends to call on liim at Lucy's old stand. Mrs. Frank's Examination. The examination of Mrs. llubor. alias Frank , was continued yesterday with closed doors , as on the previous day. The defendant is said to be very averse to having the newspapers get hold of the real evidence in the case , and hence not oven the reporters are allowed to hear what is being testified. This docs not keep tlio news from cr.eeping out , however - over , and as usual the papers get all that they want of the filthy affair. Yesterday Oflicor James was on tlio stand , nnd testified to the concession made to him by the Hnbor woman , before she know his ollicial position. According to his testimony she stated that she came here and stopped at Mrs. Mctcalf's on Uroad- way , her mission to this city being to get some girls for her house Among those of whom she made inquiries was a fellow named Joe , who worked at some hotel here , nnd from him she learned of the Mercer girl. She told Joe that she wanted to get some girls to learn the dressmaking business , and afterwards she diove in u hack to the Mercer homo. She there met the girl in tin : presence of her father and married sister , and repre sented to the family that she wanted to get the girl to learn dressmaking. In tins talk with Mr. James the woman claimed that she had ileceivcd the girl's folks as to the real character of her busi ness , but that the girl understood what was wanted of her. In the afternoon the defense began. The attempt was made to show that the girl had been an inmate of u house in Omaha before , and that she was the ono who recently wrote a letter to a young man in this city , threatening to commit suicide if ho did not rescue her from u lifo of shame. Mrs. St. Claire , on Twelfth street , was said to bo the keeper of the house whore the letter was written , the girl being known theru as Lulu Brown. The prosecution rebut this story by evidence Unit Lulu Brown and Lulu Mercer wore two dill'erent persons , and that the former is a cousin of the Mercer girl , uiHl is a prostitute in Oinnlui. Joseph Lewis , a hack driver , testified to having taken the girl to the depot. Mrs. Rebecca Lewis , whokcuns u second hand store in Umafia , testified against the character of the girl. K , W , Warner , a hack driver in Omaha , testified that he had taken the girl in his carriage to as signation houses in Omaha , ami to hotels in company with men. The examination will bo resumed this morning. Sco "Tex. " Lacy's old btand. Dr McLood , oculist and aurist , No. 502 Broadway , Council Uluu's. Dentil of MrTlMrklnhlno. Harry Blrkinbino received a telegram Wednesday night announcing tlio death of his father , Mr. Ihiiiry P. M. Blrkinbino , nt his homo in Philadelphia , for which place the son left yesterday. Mr. IHrkin- bine was one of the oldest and best known engineers in the country. Ho has been frequently in this city within the past few years , looking after tlio construction nnd operation of the water works , he bolng chief engineer of the company , and his sou being engineer in charge. Mr. Birkinbiuc had tin experience of fifty-five years , und some of his inventions and devises - vises arc very valuable , notably the lire rotection apparatus , which is in use : iiul iu other cities. He had beeu ill Tor some time past , but has not been deemed in a critical condition within a week. Mrs. Harry Blrkinbino left about a week ago for'the cast , with her children , nnd has been at the bedside of her father- n-law since then. Mr. Birkinbino formed many pleasnntncqualntances dur- ng his visit to tills city , and the news of Ids death will cause them to regret : ho loss of a man so valuable in his pro fession. The Salnoii Cnsos. The Dnbuqtio saloon cases , which were appealed to the United States supreme court , on the same question which has been brought w > in the Council lUtifl's cases , have been continued until the Oc tober term of the court. This will with out doubt cause the saloon cases hero pending to remain in statuqtio until then , if not longer. Judge Conner has not rendered any decision on the questions pending before him , and it is understood that he lias said in cll'ect that lie would not do so until the Dtibuquo cases wore decided in the supreme court. As those cases go those cases will probably follow. In view of this understanding , it beutna that there will bo little new developed concerning the saloons before fall. In this view of the probabilities the s.iloons still running will not have the old-time excuse for refusing to pay a license for what time they do run , ami the city will probably press them into doing so , as this ia about the only reason assigned of late for the refusal to pay hcon.su. The prospect is therefore that the city will collect in the "pop" license. Substantial abstracts of titles ami rea estate loans. J. W. & K. L. S nilrc , 10 Pearl street , Council Blull's. Married On the Fly. Yesterday afternoon Justice Ilendricks was called on to perform a marriage ceremony at his ollico. The couple wore middle aged , and eacli had been married before. They gave their names as Alfred Trohortuml Josephine Searls. Ho was ti grocery dealer in Chicago , while she was a resident of Michigan. The happy man had mot and wooed her , and they con cluded to come west together and get married. She wore a loose wrap , and on roqueting the privileges of a dressing room in which to prepare for the cere"- inory tlio ollice was vacated for her hone- lit , and in a lew minutes she had arrayed herself in a new white dress which 'she had brought with her. The ceremony was soon performed , and the happy pair started out declaring it to be their inten tion to proceed on a wedding trip west ward. The license book nt the county clcrk'sofllcc showed the happy woman to be from Logan. A Chance for L.ihorcrs , C. Shenlield , who formerly lived here , and who is well known as a railway eon- tractor and lately located in Albnrqiirquc , whore he hits large property and bank ing interests , has again gone into railway construction. He is one of tlio best rail way contractors in the country , as many of the citizens hero can bear witness. Ho writes from Kingman , Kansas , to his old friend Justice N. Scliurz , that lie has taken a large contract on the Wichita & NVesturn railway and is in condition to give immediate employment to a number of teamsters and laborers. Mr. Shell- field was one of tlio constructors of the Rock Island line into this city , and had n large contract afterwards on the North ern Pacific Some of his old men will doubtless gladly improve this oppor tunity to enter his employ again , and any desiring further information can obtain it of Justice Seliurz.

Dr. Fish gave the third of his series of lectures hist evening. His theme was "Tho Origin of Man. " To-night ho gives the closing lecture on the subject , "Tho Relation of Modern Science to Creation. " This is said to bo one of the best of all his lectures , which is saying much for it. The course has been all that was prom ised for it thus far. and it is to bo regret ted that morn could not , or would not , avail the opportunity to get so much scion- tilie and philosophic information , when served in so tempting and pleasing u manner. The ladies of Broadway Methodist church gave a pleasant Easier tea in the church parlors last evening , nnd had a number of haster novelties wliich they disposed of for the benefit of the church. Itlfa on thu GriilHor Alabama. From a series of brief and pithy papers in the April "Century" on tlio Alabama and Kcnrsnjio we quote as follows from the artielo by P. I ) . Haywood , who was si seaman on the Alabama : "After wo had swept the ocean of prl/.e.s wo had no excitement , nml wo cast about in every way to amuse ourselves. The rufllanly portion of the crew found their pleasure in hu/.ing and ill-trouting their duller and less resolute shipmates and there were some fearful examples of this kind of work. We had sparring matches and single-stick playing , in both of which I excelled. Spinning yarns and and singing songs wore resources that never failed. The starboard watch made every man sing in turn under penalty of a pannikin ot salt water , and our poets were kept busy in composing new ditties , "One man had u splendid tenor voice ; ho was well educated and had been , ho said , an officer in the Royal Navy , and was , like all disrated gentlemen that 1 have ever mot , a 'vicious and irreolnim- blackguard. ' How strange to hear him sin" "Tho Lament of the Irish Emigrant , ' and 'My Mary in Heaven' with taste ami feeling , and the next moment disgust even his rude associates by a burst of obscene blasphemy. Ono sailor , n wonder ful story-toller , who generally prefaced his yarns .with 'When I sailed in the Tnprobanc , East Ingyman , ' was known as 'Top-robbiii.1 ' 'His imagination was pro lifio of horrors rors , and his grim and sepulchral visage aided in producing an eflect on Ids hear ers. His talcs were of phantom ships , that sailed in the teeth of wind and cur rent , ami of ghn > tly women that cnmo aboard in the height of storms , etc. , and so reahstio und impressive was his delivery - livery that some of the worst rullians in the watch sought their hammocks in fear and trembling : , " SNAPPING OF lAN'S FINGER 1UOO IlnmTs in n Now Jersey Silk Mill to Strike.

None of tlmm know whjrtho cigar-maker snapped his lingers , ami tlioy say now it was tyrannical of him to do so , but they quit work nil the same. The local assem bly has since wailed on tlio proprietor , Mr. Strange , to say it was all a mlstnkn , and ask him to take the strikers back , but on ascertaining that the cigar-maker had not been expelled or oven censured for snapping his lingers , lie refused to dose so , and will not reopen tlio mill as long as his business is at the mercy of wander ing cigar-maker : ! , There is a comio side to nearly everything , and the comic side of this is that a bodv of mon who can lie made to abandon their means of liveli hood on receiving a sign from an un known man complain bitterly of the "tyranny of capital.
