The new county board of supervisors
met yesterday , ami will probably be in
session most of the week. Tlio now mem
ber from the city , C. B. Waite , who will
doubtless prove one of the most valuable
members , took ins scat , as did also S. B.
Frum , who has been n member before ,
and now is returned after an absence of
ono year. Ho is welcomed back gladly.
I The board had some little dilllculty in
organizing , so far us the selection of a
chairman was concerned. The difficulty
hr Kccmed to arise , not from the usual ambi
tion .shown by politicians , but from the
modesty of the four members present ,
each voting for his next door neighbor ,
anil thus there bulng no majority for anyone
ono of the four. After several unsatis
factory ballots the matter was happily
disposed of by the election of Mr. Frnm.
Mr. Buylor , the only absent memberwas
i expected to arrive last night , and bo
i } present to join in the proceedings to-day.
The bonds of the new recorder , W. II.
Thomas , wore approved , and that gentle
man cnten-d upon his duties , being

The trustees close their report with the
following comments :
"J'ho thanks of the trustees are cor
dially tendered to the publishers of our
city newspapers for furnishing us copies
of their papers without charge , and also
to till others who have courteously con
tributed to our. shelves and tallies.
"Tho reading room of tlio library was
opened on Sunday , January , 1880 , fortho
accommodation of visitors , but was
closed in July , the attendance ucing
deemed insulhcionl to justify the ex
pense.
"At the time of the organization of the
library , February , 1883 , our registered
list of books numbered 2,808 volumes ; our
present number is 0,0815 , .shoeing an in
crease of ! ! , 1ST ) volumes. In addition to
the registered list we have a very com
plete set of public documents , both of
national and state government , compris-
in the aggregate nearly y.OUO volumes.
"As will bo scon by the foregoing report
there has been a steady advance in all de
partments of tlio librury during the past
year and the trustees have every reason
to believe that with a larger reading
room the number of visitors would be
largely increased.
"As heretofore noted in our reports , a
very considerable proportion of those
who visit our rooms , either for reading at
the tables or procuring bookscomes from
the boys and girls , the future young men
and women of our city. Each day as
soon as the public schools close they
come Hocking into the rooms , frcsli and
vigorous , eager to add to the instructions
they have received in school , the knowl
edge obtainable from tlio books on our
shelves or the tempting literature on the
tables. Thus the library supplements our
free schools , carrying forward the mental
training there commenced.
"We ask for the Free Public library the
continued confidence of our citizens who
look to the city council to furnish the
funds under the provisions of the law ap
plicable to it for carrying it on success
fully. It is one of the institutions in
which our people feel an honorable
pride , and liberal appropriations for its
support will always meet with their ap
proval. "

Colonel Daily , as attorney forJEdwards ,
has liled a motion for a now trial and ar
rest of judgment. The motion is based
on the claim that several errors crept
into the trial in the judge's admission of
evidence and in the. instructions. Partic
ular stress is laid upon the fact that the
burglars' tools and revolvers found upon
Edwards when arrested wcro shown to
tlio jury , when these articles had noth
ing to do with the confidence game for
which he was bciiif tried. It is also
claimed that the evidence as to what the
victim uf the game had to say and do
with tlui unknown and still at largo part
ner of Edward : should not have been ad
mitted. The claim is also made that the
checks found on Edwards' person should
not have been used at the trial , It is
generally thought that , Edwards is too
valuable n member of the gang to bo al-
owed to bo suut to the penitentiary with-
ont a strong struggle to get him free on
some technicality , ami that n strong legal
fight will be made. Ono who is knowing
to the details of the case says that Ed
wards will not bo taken over the road as
soon as most have thought. The motion
for a now trial will como np on the re
convening of court on the 10th.

Tlio Suicide or One of tlio nutlet Illcs
or 11 Itt-oilinl ,
Last evening tlio coroner received word
that a frail female in "Kottcn How" had
suicided. Ho at once impaneled a jury
consisting of W. 11. Lynchard , Charles
Alleys and J. W. Hosier , and proceeded
to examine Into the facts. The woman
was found to bo Ida Grlllln , an inmate of
Olllo Danford'w house , No. 119 East
Pierce street. The causes which led to
her taking poison are not fully known ,
but it seems to bo the old , old story. It
is reported that the girl was despondent
over owing the landlady n largo amount.
Sunday night , it Is said , she borrowed
fifty cents of a hack driver named Hunt
and spent it for the poison with which
she ended her life. The coroner's jury
took llio following evidence nhil then ad
journed until ! l o.'clock tills morning :
Miss Ollie Danford The girl's name
was Ida Gnlllii ; has been here
three months ; deceased had lived at
other houses previously ; her father
Mr. Grilhn , who lives at Nebraska
City , was hero about a week ago. When
wo found she had taken poison Simitar
night about ! ) : : ! 0 o'clock she said she'd
take it again if she did not die from its
cllects ; wo called Dr. Bellinger about IS
o'clock Sunday night. She bought 50
cents worth of poiion from Baker's drii"1
store , she told us. Wo sent to Baker's
and they said she'd bought it there. No
poison lias been found hero. The doctors
said it was morphine poison. Tlio
deceased was about eighteen or nine
teen years of age. Her lather
when here said as soon as she < rot able to
ho would have her keep hoiiso"for him.
She had been sick about six weeks with
disease. She died at 0:10 : o'clock.
May Alloy testilicd that she had taken
poison and if she got well she'd talso it
again. Her father scorned satisfied with
her remaining here as ho could not give
her a _ home until spring. Have known
her since last spring. She hail disease
then and has hail ever .since. This
seemed to be her only reason for commit
ting aniride.
Miss Danford was recalled and said :
ijiavo not been charging her any board
since she has been here. She came here
sick and I got her a doctor.
E.D. Baker testified : Am druggist at
No. MO Broadway have been in business
about twenty years ; Ida Grillin came
here Sunday evening about 8 o'clock and
bought 6 ) e worth of morphine in bulk ,
powder ; it was about thirty grains ; she
said she was in the habit of using it. I
ouostioiied , her and she laughed at the
idea of doing anything wrong with it.
I'm in the habrl of sellim : it ; couldn't
say if slip had bought it here before. Wo
take their names and the purpose they
wish to use it lor. It would take too long
to go through the business of making
them sign a statement. She gave nic the
name of Ida Grillin.
