Leo Thurnmn , a commercial traveler living at Lincoln , died at the Ogdcn house In this city Sunday night.

IVIm Will Be The rcslgnution of Mayor ( Jroncweg haslet lot been formally acted upon , nnd .yet there re numerous rumors ullo.it as to who will be ils successor. It Is expected that the resig- ation will bo accepted , und a committee lias icon appointed , their duties being under- teed to bo the drawing ill ) of a formal ne- eptanee , and ot suitable resolutions com- nendatory of the manner in which Air. tronoweg has performed the ; duties of his ) ositlon. Tlieto is outside of the council n eporl that the commilteo is to nominate n iiicccssor , but this is not the understanding if the aldermen. The name of M. Keating has been nn- umticed as the probable successor , but there cemsto bo nothing tangible at the bottom of his icport. The council will probably select oine ono to serve until the spring election. Jnder the law of the state the louncil , Incnbo of such a vacancy , has the right to elect n na.\or to serve until the people can elect one. Jnder the present election laws it takes so eng to secure a registry of voters and give lotico for a special election that these pre- iminaiics could hardly bo done bufoie the line llxed for the regular election. The ad ditional expense to the city would also bo onslderable , and In view of this peculiar situation there is an apparent desire on thu > ait of the council to select some one who vlll servo until the regular election , at vhich time a mayor can be chosen by the icople. Tlio legal points involved need careful ex amination , however. It is not merely u liiestion of conferring honor niton this or hat man. There are many important city actions , in fact all the city legislation , which lepcnds upon u legal election of mayor , for validity. It is essential to every financial move of the city to have the ma.vor elected without the smallest legal Haw. In rcgaid to who the man will be , and who ; ho man ought to be , thcro is u great diver sity of opinion. Mr. Keating's name is the 3iily ono made public thus far , but there will tie others , which will strike many with moro favor. Mr. Keating has been in many re spects a valuable citi/cn and a worthy of- llcial. Ho will carry the democratic strength with him , and this with u democratic council will prove an advantage to him over others who might bo named. There mo several whom thu people would llko to secure for their mayor who would not accept the of- lice , If elected. In duo time there will tie bet ter oppoiUtilities for comparison and choice.

The altar cover at St. Paul's church , the gilt of which has been already noticed in the HEK has quite n history connected with its making. Five shades of religious belief arc combined in it. The silk was given by one , the gold bullion , of which there is more than twenty-live dollars worth , by another , the gold fiingo by a third , the work was done by u fourth nnd the fifth possesses it. This is a practical evidence that religious faith is above creed , as well as n demonstration of the truth that Christianity is greater than denoinimuiunalism.

There was a grand turkey shoot arranged by Vint Corballoy , at Crescent City , for Christmas. The winners were as follows , with the number of turkeys taken by each , most of the shooters being from CrcscntCIty : A Smith 4 ; Dave Wilding 3 ; Ab Chase , of the Council UlulTs Hlllo club. 3 ; Henry Terry 3jJ. Houldcn 8 ; H. Smith a ; Henry Hay- wood , of the Council Bluffs llltle club , Mr. Uage , Charles Humling , of Council H luffs , nnd S. McClure ono each. In the evening thcro was n masquerade ball , and a merry time. There are no liquors sold Increscent , but the pop and cider seemed to have fully us cheering an effect , and the lackof extilll- utlon was not noticeable. A Iicj ; Doubly Broken. Courtney CofTecn , son of Henry Coffeen , was riding his pony at a speedy Httlo Jog , when , In turning the corner by the Kiel house , the pony slipped and fell with him. The boy's leg was found to bo broken in two places. Bo was taken to his home on Madi son street , and Dr. I'innoy called in to attend to the Injuries. Ho Is now resting aa com fortably us could be expected , but the acci dent knocked much off the merriment of Christmas , and will keep him housed for some time. lie Couldn't Stiinil clio Weather. "Coal Oil Sullivan" completed u thirty-day term in the county Jail nnd was released yes terday morning. Not liking the wlntery aspvctoulsido ho immediately adopted means to secure board and lodging for the re mainder of the winter. Ho went to the St. Louis house , 709 Broadway , nnd entering the room of a boarder took a suit of clothes and an overcoat. Tlio theft was soon discovered uud the police notified. "Coal Oil" was easily recognized notwithstanding hh > dls- gulso of clothing , and was lodged behind tbo prison bais. Ho gives no reason for his rash net , but will bo called on to-day to coutlde tl)0 ) secret to Judgu Aylesworth. Hnntn Among Justice * . The Justices of .the pence In this city fared pretty well nil around , no far ns Christinas presents were conc rncd. Justice Burnett returned from Weeping Water , Xcb. , yester day morning , where ho spent Sundn.s. Ho sjmrtcd an elegant pair of gold-bowed glasses nnd n line gold wntch-chnln. They wjro the gifts of his Iwo sons-in-law , and the 'squire observed , \\lth n twinkle of his eye , "I wouldn't mind It If I had a few more new sons , but the detico'of It Is the glrltt lire all gone. I am sorry , but what am I to do { " The BRE man , to whom the qncMlnn was ad dressed , was sorry too , but could offer no suggestions. As 'Squire Schurz sat In his ofHco yester day afternoon , the foreman of Kinnk Levin's cigar factory walked In , and presented him with n box of line Havana's jn behalf of As sembly No. 170 , of the Clgnr Maker's union. "What in the world have I ever done to them I" said the iistonlshcd 'xrnilrc. "Well , tell them if I can ever do anything for them in any way , shape or form , to let me know , nnd give thcm'my thanks. " He Immediately opened the box for his visitors , und took ono himself , remarking , "If I wait until my boys find it out , I won't pet n chance for n ulnglo whiff. " Prom the way they disappeared , It Is very doubtful whether the "boys" got n chance to take a single whiff from them. E. H. Slicnfc loans money on chattel Fccurit.y of every description.

Garrison , who met atieh an awful end at Webb City , recalls tlio fact that his first appearance in St. Louis attracted international attention. In January , 1842 , Charles Dickens made his first appearance in America and in traveling from Cairo to St. Louis by boat ho mot a little woman and her baby. That baby was C. R. or "Dick" Garri son , as ho was familiarly called. Few of those who gazed on the mangled re mains guessed that the face had touched a uhord.ln ono of the greatest * hearts that eyor throbbed. This is how the in cident , as Dickens told it , begins : "Tho 4th , after leading Louisville , wo reached St. Louis , and hero I wit nessed the conclusion of a pleasant inci dent. There was a little woman on board with a Httlo baby ; both little woman and Httlo baby were cheerful , good-looking , bright-oycd , nnd fair to see. The baby was horn in her mother's house , and she had not seen her hus band , to whom she was returning , for twelve months. Well , to be sure , there was never such a Httlo woman f = o full of hope and tenderness and love and anx iety as this litthj woman was , and all day she wondered if 'ho' ' would be at the wharf and whether 'ho' had got her let ter , and whether if she sent the baby ashore , by somebody clso 'ho' would know it by meeting it. " Tlio incident almost fills a chapter in "American Notes , " and the climax is : ' In the midst of it only hoiivon knows how bho over got there there was a little woman clinging with both arms tight around the neck of a bturdy young follow , and i "moment afterward there she was again actually clapping her hands with joy as she dragged him to a small door to see the baby as ho lay asleep. " v "Ho" and "she" aru now gray-haired and grief-stricken. Baby grow to ho a big man with babies of his own , only to ho cut down in his prime by n headlong fall of ICO feet down a zinc mine.
