H > o'clock yesterday ufternoon the leader of the Council Bluffs sleighing pmty appeared nt the hcait of tlio Eleventh street viaduct. As the procession came down the Inclined roadway with the sun shining brightly on the glistening snow ami gorgeous plumage of prancing steeds , the sight from u dlsti-neo was a novel and beautiful one. The llrst cutter , cont.ilnlng Major T. S. ClarUson , giand marshal of the parade , leached Piirnuin stieet nt pre cisely 1U : ! o'clock. Then followed u host of single , double and triple scaled sleighs filled with gentlemen nnd Indies. There were HOMiiul carrj tills In line drawn by eight horses , and Rome of the equipages were unl < | iio and ii'prcsentcd the Inventive genius of "necessity. " Thcie were many \\hito horses In Ihic , but uwlng to the manner In which the ladles were wiappcd up it was im possible for the leporter to discover n single "red headed" girl. All of the female portion of the Bluflltc's looked hnpjiy and contented notwithstanding the seveio cold , while the Bterner sex looked LOirespondlnglymisut.ihlo. Following the gr.md marshal , eamo a brass band of thiiteen pieces diawn by eight black hoises. The sleigh In which tlio musi. eians weio seated was tastefully decorated with reel , whlto and blue bunting. There were several "home-mndo" sleighs in lino. Two bo.\ had constructed a mtter out of u dry goods box with two pieces of boaids for i tinners. One old man and his wife weio drawn along in a buggy top s-ct upon a large- sized hand sled. Thoio weio nnmy elegant tutnouts , and , taken as whole , the entire pro cession was made up of handsome equipages. By actual count tno number of turnots in line was aiu. Thcso contained exactly 4Sl'l ' persons. The procession wns oxactlj thirtv-oiio minutes in crossing Kin num sUeet nnd was fully two and one-half miles in length. The proces sion passed noithwnrd to Douglns , thuico west to Sixteenth , north to Davenport , west to Twenty second , south to Dodge , west to Twenty-tilth , south to l\irnnin , e.ist to Twelfth , south to llnrney , west to Foiu- teenth. south to Howard , west to Sixteenth , and thence north to tlio board of trade rooms. Hero Minor Broatch welcomed the guests In a few well chosen words. Notwithstand ing the intense cold the sttects wcic lined with spc < tutors. TUB wrniTiov v\i > i.uv n. The merry drivoi s , under the guidance of the reception committee , were escoited to the chamber of commcico , where they wcto for mally received with open arms and a bounte ous hospitality. Grand Marshal Clarkson , assuming the duties of master of ceremonies , directed alTnlis with a masterly hand , with tlio assistance of the guntlemen on the com mittee of reception. A gland levee was held , dm ing which old acquaintances icvived past recollections , and newly made friends dis cussed the enc > i inent of the occasion , which was enlivened by mobt exc client music by the mcmbcis of the Musical union band , which were located in the gallery. About half-past U o'clock Major Hioateh , who had been chosen to preside , was intio- duced byPiesldcntllcrof the boardof trade , took up his position on the rostrum and called the vastconcoutsoof ladies and gentlemen to order. The major welcomed the visitors to the city In his usual courteous and pleasing manner , nnd extended to them tie ) freedom of the city. Hespokoof the pleasant ties tliat bound the two cities together , and predicted a continuance of the same for j ears to ionic. Coifgicssnmn Puscy , of Council Bluffs , ic- upended to Mr. Uroatch's ' welcome in a jolly and highly Intel estingstrain. Ho indulged In u historical sketch , going back to thirty jeais ago when Omaha nnd Council Hlulls were a "howling wlldci ness , " populated chiclly by Indians. The congi essman said that it was with pleasure that ho saw the two cities glow into magnitude and inni nitUciice , and spoke endearingly of Omaha's hospitality nnd cnterpiiso. Hon John M. Tliurston referred with pride to the fact that ho was n icsldent of Oimiha , for which he piedicted n great fu ture. Ho was piofuso in his laitditations of Council Bluff * and her people , and hoped to see the day when their facilities for commu nication would be bettc'icd. John M. Baldwin , Esq , of Council Bluffs , refetred to Iowa as a piohibitoiy state , ami Jocosely intimated that ho wished ho could say as much for NebiasKa. Omaha , in his estimation , was n gicnt nnd gtowing cit.v and would sonic dav bo us big us Chicago. Ho spoke of the necessity of better facilities for communication between this eiti nnd Council Bluffs , and assmed his henieis that if the picsent bildgc under lonstiuctton did not illl the bill thei would put uphalf a do/en until thowould. . MnjorChukson said that all Omaha was glad to do the people of Council Bluffs Honor , nnd it did his he.ut good to see so manv smiling nnd happy faces about him. Omahn had determined to give them a good time , and ho pointed out to them wheio they could go to ha\o It. Those who wished could goto ihoAimoiyand dance , and if the toboggan- inclined weio anxious to slide , they could at the into of if > ,000 miles a minute , it was fi eo to them. Amusements had been selected w ith a view of satisfi ing the inclinations of all , and the spenher wound up by icferi ing to the feast that had been ptcpaicd for the inner man on the floor below Colonel W. F. Sspp , of Council Bluffs , was accorded u hcaity locoptlon. Speaking for the citizens of the Bluffs ho returned thanks to Omaha for the broad , ft icndly and wuim reception. Ho next touched on the spiiit of friendship existing between the two cities , and promised the aid nnd influence of the ' peoplu of Council BlufTs , for their inteiests were mutual , to piomoto those of Omahn. Colonel Sapp .spoke of Oma ha's piominence in her efToits toscctiio the republican national convention and Jowa's and Council Bluff's labois In her behalf. Mr. MueMurphy responded for South Omaha m n chcei fill and Instinctive .speech of several minutes' duration. At the conclusion of the speech making the band struck up a lively air and the assem blage dispei seel , some to the banquet mill , otheis to the armoiy to indulge in the mci i.v dance , and otheis to the toboggan slide ami divots places of amusement nnd cheer. Caterer Bean picsicled o\or the lefreshment loom , and a toothsome and substantial lunch was beived to neailj UX ) people. \T Till. lllMUIIl Through the kindness of the Omahaguaids their nimoiy was used for the dancing , nnd from 3 o'clock until 0 the lloor was filled with dancers. The icieptlon lommittco was tlie- loss lu the effoit to make overj body feel nt home , nnd in this they succeeded admirably An oivhestid of twenty musicians fiom the Musical Union fuuushed the music and the ladles and gentlemen had a delightful time.

Ho nald to a BKK rcjiorter that ho had been "keeping compnn.\ " with Miss Kennedy for two years , and that they had often changed rings for clujs at n lime. Bo atd Unit on the evening In question ho Irarrowecl her ring and went home with It. When ho i etlred for the night the stone which Is a costly gem- was In the ring , but upon arising In the morning It wns missing. Bo know , however , that the diamond must be In the room , but careful search failed to reveal Its presence. Ho then told the Janltress in clmigooftho room that she must preserve the sweepings nnd carefully look them o\er , and that if she found the stone ho would reward her. Ho then sent the empty ling back to Miss Kennedy with the Information that ho had lost the setting. She disci edited thin story , however , and infoimed a ln ! : man that upon cxnmlng the ring she could plainly see that the diamond had been taken from the ring by means of some In strument , as the clamps wcto all bent back In a way that could only have been accom plished puiposclv. She sent for Tompkins and told him that she thought ho had nppio * pi iated the stone , nnd advised hlmtoieUirn it at once. This ho failed to do. She sent messenger bo.\s to him on several different occasions , but they inviulably returned rnpty-hundcd , " 1 finally concluded , " added Miss Kennedy , "that the gentleman intended to steal my diamond , and u icsort to the law was all that was left for me. 1 had him nr- resteci nnd understand the stone was found upon him. ho claiming that the Janltiess had removed it nnd ho meant , to icstoic it to me.

Coiulcts nro Again De tained in iloliet. Some time ago , the Bic : announccct that at the last session of the Illinois legislature , a law was passed picxeiiting the management of the penitentiary of that state fiom iceciv- ing for care of convicts from other stateor ten Hoi ies. Wi oming nt the time , was boai ding - ing Us convicts tit the penitential in qucs- tion , nnd the commission for the tonitoiy 10- gdnllng the disposal of prisonei s , wns noti fied that the state would icoeivo no more of Wiomlng's coin lets , but these who weio then behind the walls , would bo permitted to scivo their terms. Luke .Miniin , of Choj- enno , ono of the commissioners , went to Lincoln and sought admission for the Wv- oming piisoncrs to the penitential y of this state , but the icqucst wns denied on the giound of lack of room. Mr Mui i in came into town last night and states that the Illinois law , rcs > tiicting the penitentiary of that state fiom accommodat ing the convicts of otheis , hud been assailed and lendered void , nnd as n consequence , the place at Joliet was now open ttrprisoncis from all places which weio disposed to pay for them. Since the passage of the law In question Wiomlng's convicts at cieat ex pense and tioublo have been confined In In- seeuiecountj Jails , nnd the experiment has not been a successful one. The setting asldo of the law has been favorably iccelved nnd Wjomlngsent Us Hist batch of piisoneisin many months to the Joliet penitentiary n couple of daisngo , and Mr , Muirin Is now on his way to the same place to make formal provisions for their detention and cuie.

The Hrc hns ntruiuly given IU renders the views of Superintendent Smith of the Horse railway company , with resjiectto the rplutlvo rights to prcc-odcncc of thut and the trumwiiy companies In the ciossln s of streets. In those views It was held that bccmlte the horse cur line \VUH tha llrst ono constructed In the city It had prlouty In crossing streets over the c-un of the train way company. Yesterday a linn reporter questioned Messrs. Johnson , Hustln nndVrbstcr , of the hitter corpotntlon , nnd all of these icntlc.'inen scouted Mr. Smith's views. They claimed they weio ilcllctiloiis , unusunl and Impracti cable. They held no street railway company could have the light of way any more ) than one' express , truck or druv man , nt u street In tersection , could have right of way over another. It was simply a question of expediency , circumstances and discretion. It was so In Kansas City , so In St. Louis , so In Chie'iiiro , so everywheic. "In Kansas City , " said Captain Hustin , "the lucstlon as tohlch road Is the older onu Is lever raised. On n level plain , when cars are approaching the same Intel section , the ono which at Its notmal speed hns made the gieatcst advance towuid the middle of the ntcisection is unlveisally nccoided the right of \\iiy , the other lessening its sjiced , or , if necessary , coming 0 n stmid.

" The ti am way company hn\o begun to ex periment to do away with the danger to torses Incidental to getting their toe-corks caught In the gup slots it crossings. These experiments lm\e been made1 at all the horse-railway company's md consist In the bolting of u stiip of iron invo nn inch in thickness on the slot rnilsbut 1 fi action of an inch back from thu edge ot the slot. With this simple improvement the cork of thu shoe Is prevented fiom diopping so deep Into the opening that it cannot be removed without clililculty. Mr. Johnson ssijs that nodi Ivor need get his hoises1 eoilts caught in thu slot if ho only takes thu piuau- tion to dn\o his horse or hoisos sllghtli oblicpjo in dossing thetrainwaj tracks. nUII/IiilS AND KMI'MJYKS.
