Yesterday morning when the Burling ton flyer pulled into the local depot a lady passenger , evidently thinking that she had arrived nt the transfer , stopped from the train and entered the depot. She then learned her mistake and as the train was starting rushed out to got on board. The conductor shouted to her and waved her back , but she would not heed. him. She- had a bird cage in ono hand and n largo bundle in the other , and in attempting to got upon the steps of the car missed her footing , and had not Olllcor Unthank caught her as she was falling , would undoubtedly have gene under the wheels. She was much excited and gave as a reason for her haste that her husband had been in jured at Omahn on the preceding day , and she had left her homo in Burling ton in response to a telegram , and was much afraid , that hu might die before she reached him. When bho realized her narrow escape she burst into tears , end feelingly expressed her gratitude to the otllcor whoso quickness and pres ence of mind had saved her from a terrible - riblo death.

A DAY IN COUNCIL BLUFFS , The First Skirmishes Over the Title to the Park. THE DISTRICT COURT DRAGS. More Trouble Over Levy'fl tilttlc Chcck-A Crystal Wecldlnjr-Tho New Herman Church Per- nonnli and Minor Mention. The Park Case. The Fnirmount park case was called n thosupcrlor court yesterday morning. The city of Council Bluffs was not made a party in the case , and filed n motion asking that it be made ono of the defend ants. The Attorneys for the plaintiff strongly objected to such n proceeding , mil the entire day was occupied in ar guing the mutter. If the plaintiffs can succeed in freezing out the city the case will be practically settled , and victory assured for them , but the city's attorneys ire not disposed to lot their client sutler in that manner. The firm of Wright , Baldwin ft Haldano , representing the plaintiff , are catching at every straw that can possibly help their case , and it seems to rest ut present in a mesh of legal quibbles and technicalities. In the course of his argument , Mr. Bald win assorted that the city hud no rihgt whatever to be made n defendant , and that such n thing was entirely without precedent. Unfortunately for the suc cess of Mr. Baldwin's nsscrtlon , a simi lar case had at one time been decided by his own father , and in such a man ner as to fully establish the city's claim as made by its attorneys. Numerous references were read by both sides and the motion was hotly con tested. This law firm , that is so vigorously engaged in wresting the park from the city , hns-sevcral schemes on foot , and i § leaving no stone unturned to bo suc cessful in their attempt. Among other things , they dared the city's attorneys to take the initiative and become the plaintift in the suit , but the latter were too well b'atisfied with their present strong position on the defensive , and invited the plaintiff to go ahead , and they would try to keep closely behind.

In the district court another day was spent In the hearing of Richardson vs. Snott. The defendant was on the stand in the afternoon up to the hour for ad journment , and his cross-examination will probably occupy a goodly portion of to-day. The case is being fought every step of the way and is taking far more time th.in WHS anticipated when it was started. It may occupy several days yet. The P. E.

The plot thickens in the Levy swind ling case , and the probabilities of an amicable settlement are decidedly small. The case seems to 1mvo taken a personal turn and will be prosecuted with consid erable energy. Since Mr. Levy's re turn ho promised Mr. Soars that his half of the bill would'bo paid , but that Mr. Rudio would never get a cent , and that if ho ( Levy ) only had the money necessary to pay a fine , Rudio would rusticate for his health for a couple of weeks. When Rudio was informed of the proceedings , he obtained n warrant for Levy's arrest , and that gentleman was quickly taken into custody and car ried before Squire Shuns , where he was charged with obtaining money under fal&o pretonscs. Ho furnished bonds for his appearance and was released. Ho then devoted himself to securing the names of these who are in the habit of playing games at the Manhattan , and it is said that he will have Rudio ar rested for keeping n gambling house , and will have those parties summoned as witnesses before the grand jury. Rudio was also closotcd with Colonel Dailey to see about having Levy taken before the grand jury. It is some time since the proprietor of the Manhattan has had so much business on his hands , and it is suggested that he secure a proxy to look after his legal business so that no can give his full time and atten tion to booming George Rudio as the coming alderman of the First ward. The Manhattan has the reputation ol being a strictly temperance billiard hall , and while cards are played there for cigars , that seems to bo the nearest approach preach of a violation of the gambling law which can be touched upon. If an attempt is made to construe this into gambling the case will bo watched with much interest. The whole trouble has arisen over the claim that Levy gave a $5 check on a bank in which ho hod no money. Union Abstract Co. , 236 Main Bt. Take Notice. .

THE PRESENT COMMERCIAL CODE By Reason of Conflicting Lawa of Dif ferent BtatPa It Works an Injus tice to the Creditor and an Injury to the Country. Written for the Ute by Lew Frank. A period has boon reached in the his- lory of the commercial community when it is often impossible to find out the financial standing of n merchant unless wo accept his own statement and representations in rotation to his own circumstances. It often happens that the statement re- ied upon is false and that his repre sentations were fraudulent , but ho has our goods and we have them not , nor have wo the price agreed by hjm to bo paid ; ho makes an assignment , or other wise conveys them shortly afterwards , nnd wo got them not , because ono , or thrco , or eight of his many creditors , who happened to bo advised of the con veyance , were on the spot nnd sued out writs of attachment before wo could got there , nnd , consequently , in the scram ble , wo were loft behind. Perhaps in the next race wo will beat the other fol lows ' . ' 'by n nose. The failures also , of which wo often hear and more often nro interested in , cause great surprise , amounting almost to consternation ; merchants who were counted as men of integrity and in high financial standing , after buying our goods , mnko assignments in which pref erences are given to a number of so- called confidential creditors at the ex pense of other creditors. In this case again , "wo are left with the bag to hold. " It may easily bo seen that in the in tercourse between merchants of the dif ferent states in n business way , many circumstances are required to bo taken into consideration before it can bo as certained what is the true rule by which the interpretation , obligation , and ral- idltv of contracts are to be governed. There now exists a condition of things which , for confusion of the law , has no parallel in the history of any nation. What then is to be done under the existing condition of things which , for confusion of the law , has no parallel in the history of the nation ? In the differ ent states and territories of the union what law is to regulate the contract , or to determine the rights , or its consequences quences ? What law is to interpret its terms , ascertain the character and extent - tent of its stipulations ? Doctrines relating to insolvents , and especially assignments for creditors of insolvents have been conceived by the judiciary federal and state with such diversity of opinion , that the confiding creditor can not know when the attach ing creditor will consume all the assets of the insolvent debtor , though his assignment was honestly made without intent to defraud any one. In some of the states an assignment Is sustained , notwithstanding the fraud of the assignor ; if the assignee is not proved to bo a party to the fraud. In other states the conjoint fraud of assign ors or assignees is not sufficient to sot aside an assignment unless the credit ors to bo bone tit ted thereby were par ties to the fraud. In many of the states the assignee can pursue assets secreted or fraudulently conveyed by the nssignorwhllo in other states ho cannot do this. In some states an assignor may exact releases as a condition to accepting under the as signment. In some states an assignee must sell the assets at public auction , while in other states he must otherwise dispose ol them. In most of the states the in solvent debtor may prefer some of his creditors to the exclusion of others. In many of the states , such old doctrines presuming good faith are applied , that it is often impossible to sot aside a frau dulent conveyance , no matter what evi dence there bo to prove the fraud. The orders of the chancery court must bo invoked in other states for . the purpose of setting aside a fraudulent conveyance. In some of the states n complicated method of proving accounts is in force , while elsewhere the method remains vague and uncertain ; the statutes of limitations , the homestead nnd exemption laws , the laws regarding separate property and rights of married women vary in the different states. Frequently , in the application of general - oral law , a conflict between state and federal , nnd between different state tribunals will be found to exist , respect ing the effect of certain stipulations. Persons capable of contracting in one state are incapable by the laws of an other. Considerations good in one state are insufficient or invalid in another. The public policy of one state permits or favors certain agreements which are prohibited In another. The forms prescribed by the laws of ono state , to insure validity of contracts , are unknown in another. Creditors and debtors should not be loft to this interminable confusion to the difficulties and uncertainties grow ing out of the varying doctrine. Technical law will not answer. These laws are made by men who , in their ig-v norance of business matters , have made them impractablo , therefore they are unavailable ; they are unwise , therefore they are unjust ; they nro deplorable and therefore impossible. There is no con fidence in the situation. In the light ot a vast development in mercantile enter prise ; when we recollect that the trans actions of merchants , manufacturers and financiers of our largo cities , extent over the whole country , without regard to state limits ; that no discrimination against citizens of other states is allowed in any state hero , we must realize the necessity and policy of having uniform codes , uniform doctrines. If the bankrupt act of 1867 was defect ive , it could have boon cured. Defects are not limited to n bankrupt law. They are much greater in criminal and other laws. To add to the difficulties of the situation , each insolvent , except per haps in a very few states , in making an assignment , generally exacts a release ; he may , with impunity , perpetrate frauds incidental to , or in anticipation of , an assignment ; he may hope for im munity in many cases , by means of will ing friends , a wife's separate property or business , the kindly offices of a sym- thizlng jury , or Iho conservative and scholastic disposition of a common law judge ( although most of thorn are men above reproach , temptation or preju dice , the bench is composed of many such. ) The debtor's neighbors , who usually are the only witnesses of bis fraud , and frequently sit in the capacity oj his jurors , are not very apt to assist the creditors in making their money. It is all wrong. This is a question of broad national concern. There is a general desire among merchants and business men generally , to gvercomo the irrcgulotL- , lcs nnd imperfections arising from these causes , and to bring order out ol chaos. I do not kuo\v how this can be done except by our reureBCDtMiveq In congress to show tnelr capacity to deal intelligently with the question. It scorns to me n sense of its responsibility would impel congress to furnish the proper and much needed relief by pro nouncing in favor'of ' an net of uniform Onnkruptcy n measure which nny fair- minded merchant could prepare ; ono which would meet the exigencies of trade all over the country n mcnsuro which Is simple , " just" ana reasonable , but wise and judicious , in its terms. Such a law , which shall make an end to our troubles , establish the unbreakable order of our prosperity , nnd protect us from further calamity , should bo in scribed on the national statute book. It is a necessity of the first importance. It is for the good of this commonwealth from ono end to the other. Interests , great nnd powerful , nnd the material prosperity of the country will be subserved thereby. It is vise legis lation ; The benefits which such a law would confer might bo much prized. Its influences , certainlywould bo widely extended. Under it justice might bo meted out to both debtor nnd creditor. Many judges nnd courts might bo dis pensed with complicated nnd tedious litigation would bo prevented nnd ren dered impossible piles upon piles of law-books on subjects relating to insol vents , frauds , contracts , assignments , sales , partnerships , etc. , etc. , would bo consigned to obscurity. Such an enact ment by congress is not opposed to , nnd is within the grant of grant gf powers made by that grandest monument of human wisdom the constitution. Everywhere in all this broad land dif ferences of opinion as to its true theory and its proper construction in some points existed from its very creation ; and while I admit the principle of local self-government is vital to our Institu tions , by a fair construction of the con stitution , the rights of the several stares will not bo interfered with. Commerce comprehends all that is in cluded In commercial intercourse be tween states in all its branches ; and this is the commerce of a state which congress may control , while it may not control the ordinary trade , the buying , selling , the making of conveyances and contracts , confined to ono state exclu sively. It has no power to control trans- nctions bntweon citizens of the same com munity , but may proscribe rules and regulations for carrying on commercial intercourse between citizens of ono state and these of other states , or wherever it is not exclusively limited to a single state. These powers were intrusted to congress for the welfare of the nation and its people. It has been hold that the state may make and enforce insolvent laws in the absence of a national bankrupt law , and under these may discharge debtors from further liability on their contracts on such condition as shall bo reason able ; but such law * can only bo applied to contracts subsequently made within the state , and between residents thereof. But unquestionably there is an under current of hostility to any legislation on the subject which'it ' is impossible to ex plain. American statesmen certainly take a narrow view of national needs and duties. It h to bo hoped , however , that intelligent relief in the direction of this plan has not been practically ex hausted and that" such action may betaken taken by those interested to induce our lawmakers , in spite of the many obstruc tionists in both nousns of congress , to agree upon a cocjq not to bo miscon strued or evaded , a code which , if it bo imperfect , might ; " bo amended or cured ; a code to meet tpquiromonts Jof our enlarged experience ono code can bo modified , if necessaay , better than scores of statutes to make that code simple nnd plain but to make it. The business man in the great mer cantile centers , especially ho who has charge of the credits , said to have in view but one great end , ono masterful ambition , swallowing up all time and all energy alike in his lustful greed , much misunderstood to worship only at the shrine of Mammon , is not bent upon all conceivable methods of gain , is not de voting all his strength , all capabilities , except for the purest , the most legiti mate methods. He has grown within himself the life-soil of sacrifice , self- denial and some of the noblest virtues ; ho must suffer in more than one respect from a misapprehension of the analogy between the laws and constitutions of the different states ; in his conscien tious efforts for the success of his firm , his only safeguard scorns to bo , to stay nwako all nigbt , that ho , like the early bird of old , may catch the worm : ever apprehensive of the dangers that threaten his house , ho does not , cannot leave his post for a moment. But with a national bankrupt law. under which the just claim of ono creditor is put up on a par with the just claim of another , ho will have some comfort , may take some blessed rest from his labors , time to devote to something more than the literature of business. We call ourselves the best governed , the most productive country under the sun and perhaps not far behind other great nations in enterprise , in the mat ter of internal improvements and many other respects. Our statesmen undertake to legis late upon matters which they consider vast projects , for the universal welfare. The improvement of navigable rivers , cutting of new waterways , digging an isthmian canal , building transcontinental nental railroads what to do with the hundreds of millions of dollars collected each year by the government , beyond its necessities our preposterous navy and wretchedly inadequate coast de fenses , may nil be subjects for consider ation. But are the views and opinions on this measure which I entertain and which I have strenuously endeavored to impress upon the legislation of the country also to be considered ? Are the needs'of the commercial com munity to be ignored ? Wo cannot persuade ourselves to be lieve in such a. misfortune. Like the goddess of .liberty , ' let us gaze into the future with that * : expression of an inno cent soul filled with a sense of pure and confident joy ; lotos beseech , lot us lean upon the new congress which is now in session , and vainly hope , while con templating a brjght and rising prospect , its action uponq.uestlons which affect the trade and commerce of the country will bring us out.of all the confusion , calamity nnd distress which menace us. We wait in fretful impatience to know whether the existing evils are to be al lowed to continue or whether the future prosperity will bo promoted. But if disappointment awaits us ? THEATRICAL COMMENTS. Ned Harrlgan'e Story of an Adventure r in California Twenty Years Ago. Edward Hnrrigan , the favorite actor , tells some amusing stories about his early experiences in California. Nearly twenty years ago ho was coming down from n small town to Sacramento by stage coach. It was a cold , snowy night and ho and his companions wore bud- died closely togetnor smoking their on the box , to which Hnrrigan llstleu for want of something better to do. "Say , Bill , were you at that show last night in the Eldorado opera house ? " "Were 1Well , I bhould say I were ; and Jim , If I ever lay. hands on those crows that gave that show I'll blow 'em lull of holes , or my name ain't Bill Jimtnons. They niu t worth a pint o' beftlis. Hnrrignn was slightly amused nt this opon-lninded criticism , but the next words of Jim made him a trifle uneasy. "Bill , " said Jim , "you don't mean to say you don't know who them fellers inside is ? " "No , I don't. " responded Bill. "Why , they re the very actors thelr- solvos. " Then Bill shouted "Whoa ! " to his horses nnd brougnt the singe to a stand still. Ho descended to the ground nnd opened the door of the stage. "Git down ! " was what ho said to the occupants. They did not seem to un derstand him. ' 'Git down , I tell ycr , " he shouted again , "or I'll pull you out by the heels. " The people within tumbled out with a great aenl of grumbling and a great many threats When they were all ranged about in the wnow , Bill looked from ono to another nnd addressed them as follows : "I haven't got much to say to you fellers. But this is the way it Is. I saw you try to give n show lust night , and you can't rldo on my stage. It's eight miles to town , and you can tramp it. You won't suffer half what I did last night. " The driver then mounted the box ngnin , whipped up his horses nnd disap peared. Harrigan and his friends walked into Sacramento very mad , but not daring to give their oxporicnco any publicity. _ A Great Battle , Is continually going on in the human system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the consti tution , to ruin health , to drag victims to the grave. A good , reliable medi cine like Hood's Sarsaparilla is the weapon with which to defend one's self , drive the desperate enemy from the field , and restore peace and bodily health for many years. Try this pe culiar medicine. Burled In a Gold Mine. Globe-Democrat : A very remarkable incident occurred nt the burial of James Robinson , who died at Mntthows Sta tion , N. C.
