At exactly 1 : ! 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.

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.

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.

Kato Kennedy , 1'J-J North Fifteenth bticct ,
was analgncdJboforoJudgoBerlu jestculuy
morning , but pleading not guilty , had his
ac postponed until uftaiiwu , whcu iui-
other postponutncnt was asked , Tompklus
not being prepared for tilul. 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. "
Kioin the appcnranccof things It looks as
If Mr. Tompkins had gotten himself Into u
very bad box , but ho may be ublo to exon
erate himself.

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

The Cnblc Trnniwny Company's Views
on Those Butijcctfl.
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

sjiced , or , if necessary , coming
0 n stmid. On incline ; planes , however , the
car on the clown gr.ulo is always allowed the
Ight of way wlicnuver ems ariivo ut un in-

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

cork of thu shoe Is prevented fiom diopping
so deep Into the opening that it cannot be

Knights of Pi thins ball at Musoniu hall ,
came to my place for a lunch. They 10-
malned n lew minutes after 1'J o'clock , as
they hud a light to do. Hut they neither
asked for nor obtained any liquor. So mticll
for the Wednesday night alTiiir. As to
the character of m\ place , Ills not nor has
It ever been the icsoit for uny but the most
orderly and law abiding citizens. U has
never been open for the sale of liquor after
