W. S. Cooper. * ' A WhiskRobbery. Dan Clancy , an ox-hack driver of this city , now residing in the country a few miles from hero , appeared at the police station and told a btory of assault and robbery ot which ho claimed to bo the vic tim. Ho said that ho was in "The-Holc- in-tho-Wall" on lower Broadway , kept by John Green , on Saturday evening , when some one1 told him to gaze at something- above his head. He did so , and was immediately dealt a terrific blow on the head , foiling him to the floor. His i assailant jumped upon him and proceeded to go through his pockets , getting about $8 in money. I To swore out a warrant for the robbers , for there were two ot them , and during the afternoon two men were arrested and taken to the station. Clancy said they were not the right ones and they were released. Ho said that ho was rather full at the time , and depended largely on a boon com panion to relate the facts in the caso. Stories of having a check for 8100 on his person , and others of like nature , convlncod the police that ho must bo drawing largely on his imagination for his sensational narration. Clancy is Bald to have got rather in the habit of getting robbed every time ho visits the Bluffs. His imagination seems to bo quickened by the use of the ardent. According to the statement of others he has cleimod to bo robbed some time between Saturday night and Monday morning. E. H. Shcafo loans money on chattel security of every description.

Club * M Trump * . The "hurry-up wagon" rolled up to the police station yesterday afternoon with a load of brass buttons , blue coats , bruised heads and sorry looking human ity. A telephone call from Bluffs street announced that a light was in progress nt Price Gibson's place , and after a hasty trip the wagon was returning with the "coppers" and the ucnce dis turbers. The pugilists wcro booked as Tom Pnrdo and Albert Rodgors. Pardo was well filled with liquid exuberance , and was unable to give an intelligent version of the affair , but-Rodgers stated that ho was playing cords with Pardo , and the latter became angry because he was beaten. When lie was not expecting it Rodgers received a "red-hot oyo- opener , " and , being unwilling to sit nnd bo pounded , ho called for a now deal , drew three trumps , nnd was "see ing" his opponent in good snapo , when the police appeared and took a hand in the gamo. Clubs were trumps , and the officers were well supplied. The bclig- oronts wcro quickly gathered in and lodged behind the bars , charged with disturbing the peace. Pardo was nlso charged with drunkonncss , . Business will bo good in the police court this morning and Squire Schur/ will levy assessments according to the old stand ard of rates and prices. . Dr. R.

" THE COFFMAN TRIAL STILL ON. It Taken a Change of Venue to. the New Court House A Clubbing. Match Police Pointers Whisky Kobbcrjr. The Strike In ttic muffs. The general strike of all the engineers nnd firemen on the entire ClrtcagoBur lington & Quincy system nt 4 o'clock yesterday morning'affectcd this point as other terminals of divisions. All en gines arriving in the the yards hero were backed into'tho round house and the foreman notified by the engincmon that they would respond to nomorc calls until the strike was ended. Instead of deserting trains wherever they might bo at the appointed time , they were all taken to their destination'or at least to the end of the division. The "llycr" from Chicago was brought as far as Crcston , but the regular crew would not start out from there , and the travelling engineer of the road ran the train from there to the Bluffs. The Kansas City train was taken out by Master Mechanic Bridcnstein , foreman of the round-house here. When ho tried to stop for the railroad crossing at Pa cific Junction the air brakes refused to work nnd ho collided with another en gine just backing over the crossing. The tender of the switch engine was thrown off the track , but no bcrious dam- ngo done. An attempt was made to nr- rebt Mr. Bridcnstein for not btopjiing at the crossing. Ho got off the engine and was ready to submit to arrest , but when ho found there was no warrant and no apparent authority he again mounted his engine and rolled on his way. This incident led to numerous reports about a tender being purposely thrown across the track nnd numerous arrests fol lowing. The Chicago fast mail was taken out by the regular engineer , Bert Russell , on No. 238. Mr. Hussoll is a member of the brotherhood , but as it is not the in tention of the strikers to interfere with the mail , they will furnibh men to run the mail trains , but no passenger coaches will bo drawn. A BEE reporter visited the Kanbas City roundhouse , and found there seven engines , more than has been in'the house at one time since the strike of 1877. Mr. M. M. Marshall , general agent of the road was running a switch engine in the yards during the morning. When seen at his office in the afternoon by the reporter , ho said that the strike was not as serious as it seemed at first sight , as the passenger trains would all soon be runningas men were coming in fast from other roads. All brotherhood engineers , however , will of course refuse to lend any assistance. Mr. Marshall stated that nothing would bo done in the freight line , until the force was running again. Mr. Marshall was ono of the busiest of men yesterday. Besides - sides his regular duties , which were yesterday thrown into much irregular ity , ho bcrved as engineer , fireman , switchman , and telegraph operator. Ho is one of the best ' 'all-round" railway men , and is well up whether ho needs to send a message or runnn engine. Ho found all his abilities called into re quisition ycbtcrday. The regular outgoing passenger on the "Q" wab taken out by the traveling engineer of the road , who brought in the "flyer" in the morning from Cres- ton. About 0:80 : o'clock in the evening a couple of "scabs" went to the round house and took out an engine to run the regular K. C. passenger" train. They coupled onto the train , bat the water was low , and the scab engineer was un able to get any more into the boiler and the fire had to be dumped. The engineer immediately skipped out , and has not since ; been heard of. After much labor the engine was backed into the house by hand , but it is- not yet known whether or not any damage was done by the water out giving. The strikers are very jubilant over the prospect and nro firm in the belief that the company will accede to their demands. Union Abstract Co. , 236 Main st.

The first formal occupancy of the now court. house was yesterday. Judge Loofbourow adjourned court early Sat urday afternoon at the Masonic temple in order tn give time for tbo removal to the now court house , where the hearing was to bo resumed yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. Judge Loofbourow wont to his homo nt Atlantic * to spend Sunday , and ex pected to return on the early train Monday. The train was late , however , and the other participants in the trial , with the expectant crowd of lookers-on , waited patiently until near noon , when the announcement was made that court stood adjourned until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. ' Judge Carson , who has just closed a term in Fremont county , ' and who in taking a week of rest before going to Harlnn , was ono of the prominents in side the now railing. The morning hours afforded an opportunity for him arid others to determine as to the con venience of the arrangement of jury box , clerk's desk , etc. It was decided that a change was desirable , nnd such n change is made , the jury being placed on the opposite side from that originally reserved for them. .Tho clerk's desk was also Changed. Inside the rail was laid the old matting taken from the Masonic temple , but this is .to bo replaced by a carpet , more in keeping with the other elegant appointments of the now court house. Ono convenience was noticeably lacking. There were many in the crowd of visitors who thronged the new court house , who wcro not only ex pectant but expcctorators. There was n startling lack of cuspadorcs. And the reckless disposition of nicotine saliva was an urgent snowing of the necessity of hurrying the shipment of the ono hundred spittoons already ordered by the board of supervisors. In the afternoon at the hour set , Jtulgo Loofbourow seated himself on the now throne , beneath a rather ecclesiastical canoply , nnd the swearing of witnesses followed. Ono of the strong points in support of the claim that Coffman shot Main in self defense , nas been the evidence that Coffman was badly pounded by Main. In furtherance of this brunch of the defense , Dr. Pinnoyund Dr. Macrae were called. They examined anit treated Coffman after the affray and found his injuries to be serious. Mr. Jackson , of Avoca , wlio was employed for several days to nurse Coffnmn , nisei testified as to the nature of the wounds and bruises. J. B. Blake , who had been ono of the witnesses for the prosecution , was called ou the part of the defense to show that Sclsby was not in Trion's rcstnurant nt the time of the trouble. Sclsby , U new witness , who wns not at the former trial , had testified that he saw n good deal of the affair. Blake denied that ho was. thero. Mrs. Ti'lon , who , with her husband kept n rcstnurant , testified that she never saw the man Solsby there , and that ho was not boarding there. Slio did not remember over seeing * him be fore this trial. .Sho could not swear that ho did not eat n meal in the house , but it. was not to her knowledge , and she had good opportunities of knowing. Mr. Trion testified that ho could not remember of having scon the man Sclsby before ho saw him on th6 stand as a witness. Ho did not believe Solsby ever took n meal nt his restaurant or was there nt all. Mr. Trion was an oye-witness to the tragedy , nnd from his Account of it Main struck Coffnmn , knockei him back over n keg and had him down pounding him when Trion started to separate them. Before ho reached them the shot wns fired which killed Main. The testimony of this witness wns very clcnr , nnd it is looked upon as the strongest evidence in ColT- man's behalf that can bo produced. Mr. Coffman himself is tumbleto recall many details on account of his being confused by the blows ho received at Main's hands , but Mr. Trion was in n better condition to know just what oc curred. It seems conceded by tho'lookers-on thnt the prosecution is less vigorous thnn on the preceding trinl , and the defense weaker , which leads many to predict that whereas n disagreement wns the former result , an acquittal will this time bo given.

By order of the committee. The Republican Club. About twenty-five republicans met at the office of Snpp & Pusoy last evening for the purpose of forming n republican club. As the committee appointed to draw up by-laws had .not completed their Irbors in that direction , they were granted an extension of time for ono week. Plans of operation for the coming election were discussed nt some length. Several expressed the opinion that it would be unwise to run a straight republican ticket as the democratic majority is so large , nnd that a citizen's ticket composed partly of republicans nnd partly of the better clnss of the demo cratic party could bo elected , especially ns the nominees thus far put up by the democrats nro decidedly distasteful to the better clement of thnt pnrty. After spending nn hour in tnlking over the matter , It was decided to wait a few days and see what course affairs would tnko , nnd the mooting ndjourned until Friday evening. The Work of the Police. In the police court .yesterday morning Charles Brown , the burglar , WTO bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $250. As he was unable to furnish that amount ho will spend the time until the next session of the grand jury in the county jail. " Ed Cavenal wns fined $8.00 for trying to bring on an attack of delerium tro- mcns. Grunt Goodoll , another receptacle of sour mash and poor whisky , was mulcted to the extent of $7.00. Common.

The funeral of the late Robert Hunt ing ton has boon postponed until tomorrow row ( Wednesday ) at 1:80 : o'clock. Friends of the family are invited. Owing to a mistake in the call , the city papers announced that the repub lican primaries would be held this evening. The call should read , Thursday - day evening , March 10. Fun In the lionet. Chicago Tribune : "I was chairman of the committee of the whole during the Forty-eighth congress , " Mr. Cox Intely said , "when wo had two 'charac ters' in the house , one on each side of the chamber. One was White of Ken tucky , n man of fair ability , but an , un doubted crank , and-tho other was the remarkably loquacious utd ) vivacious Iowa man who was known as 'Calamity Wcllcr.1 Ono day these two men had taken up the time of the house in a vig' orous uuil irrelevant .debate on opposite sides of n certain motion. The house vns laughing at them , nnd the question was ordered to \ > i ( taken , by the tollers' . I called the gentleman from Ken- JvwHy.Mr. Wl' ' & i l * dUio gentleman from Iowa , Mr/AVoHor.to net as tellers , and ns the two approached each other in front of the speaker itwasllkotho mooting of two intellectual dromios. The house grasped the situation , nnd the roar of laughter sounded llko the howling of finrnuin's menagerie. Speaker Carlisle .heard the noise in his private room , nnd ho rushed into the house with hiB'liyos protruding , nnd wns about to assume the gnvol to restore order. A moment Inter , however , ho learned the facts , nnd thnt the so-culled fun was rather accidental than inten tional. It was the only thing thnt could hnvo been done under the clr- cumstnnccs , ns the two were the cham pions of the opposite sides of the ques tion nt issuo. In this cnse 1 got the credit for being humorous , where , in deed , I could not hnvo acted otherwise. "At another timo. while I was in the chair , " continued Mr. Cox , " ( lonornl Steele , of Indiana , had the lloor for an hour on a favorite measure. He WIIH parceling out his time , as is the custom , giving certain members a few minutes , nnd endeavoring to preserve n few min utes to himself. Ho hnd , however , given out nil but n quarter of a minute , and ho asked thnt this might bo loft for him. Ho neglected , however , to claim the lloor at the proper time , and ho lost his quarter of a minute. His measure wns called up without the previous question , and ho was thus placed in Coventry. Ho rose in great indignation nnd cried , shaking his fist at me : " 'Mr. Chairman , what hns bccomo of mv quarter of a minute i" "To this I replied : 'It has gone to the rearward and abysm of time. ' Here the house laughed lustily , but it was not my fault thnt the situation wns a humor ous ono. I stated a plain matter of fact. General Steolo. however , was not satis- lied with losing/his quarter of a minute. Ho nursed his wrath nnd kept it warm until the end of the session , when I had the lloor on some critical bill and was pursuasivcly asking for more tfme. Ho claimed the lloor and offered to hand over to mo the quarter of a minute which he said I had once stolen from him. Of course the house roared , nnd I got the credit for being funny , when it wns , in fact , General Stecle. "As to the funny things which have happened during the time I have been in the chair this session they were not intentional. At ono time , when the house was being counted , I made the routine inquiry : 'As manv ns are in favor of the proposition will rise and stand until they are counted. ' No one rose. I then announced : 'Afflrmntive none , ' and followed with the formula required , which states : 'Yens will be seated and the nays rise. ' There were no yeas , and the Irish bull was at once caught up by Collins of Massachusetts and O'Ferrall Virginia and several other Irishmen\"who \ , nro always rondy with their Inriht to lasso the Celtic bovine when he-is loose. "At another time , while I wns noting as speaker , I committed what might bo called an unpardonable bull. It was during a time of great confusion on the lloor , and I exclaimed : "If the gentle man from MihMuri would bo heard ho must suspend 1' But I had no intention of setting the house in a roar , and I sup pose my mistakes come from my Celtic extraction , which is certified to by my middle name ofiSulhvan , of which I am .

" It is the only railroad that runs dirpct- ly by the falls and < etops its trains at n point from which all parts of the falls and the rapids are in full view. Fro'm this point , called Fulls Vie'w , the scone from the Michigan Central train , whether in its summer setting of emer ald or its winter setting of crystal , is ono of unexampled grandeur mid sub limity. As it is on the direct route to Now York , Boston , ana New Eng land , no east-bound traveler should fail to take advantage of it. THE MAN DAN INDIANS. A Tribe Thnt is Rapidly Fading Out of Kxistcnce Their I'ust. A writer in the Pioneer Press says : They were very much like the Digger Indians thnt are met with along the Union Pacific railroad , only that the Mandans those that nro loft of them are willing to avail themselves of what benefits civilization hns to offer. The visitor to Fort Clark need to bo con stantly on the lookout , oven at this day , for the primitive residences of those descendants if such of the ancient Mandans. The prairie is dotted over with holes in the ground , averaging ten to twelve feet in diameter and the same depth. They nro larger at the bottom than the top , and come to as much of a point as the Indians could secure. They did not quite know how to make a lad der according to the plans of the nine teenth century , and they contented themselves with unhandy pieces of knot ted cottonwood for staircases. Judging from the appearances of the empty holes , and the mounds that arc met with all over the plains , these Indians were ripe for an epidemic. Their part in the battle of life had been played , and it was time for the nation to quit this vale of tears in a body. It is a somewhat gratifying fact to note that there arc only about two hundred of the Mandans left , and they are grad ually sinking away into obscurity. If thei.r prolongation of the life of the tribe would help us to connect them with the classic character of thousands of years ago , it would be n different mat ter. An old Indian , bowed to the ground with ago and infirmities , who wrapped his blanket around his frail and de crepit body with , h clutch ns though ho would fain tako.lt to the happy hunting grounds with him , was mot nt Fort Clnrk by the waiter some time ngo , nnd in his weak way > bo was communicative. Ho had a stick with him , which ho car ried a good many years , on which are cut a number of mutches. He impresses the visitor that he has lived as many summers ns there are notches on the stick. If ho is not fooling anybody , ho is ninqty-threq , , years old. He seems to be full ofH traditions nnd facts , but it is like- pulling teeth to get them from him , " . Hit , language seems to be made up of signs and gesticulations nnd glances to htjnven. If no is an actunl descendant of the fnir dnughterof Asty- nges. some of his uncestors have neg lected , his education in a way that they should bo nshnmcd of. Ho is full of ref erences to the happy days of the post , but ho makes no mention of any bettor residences than holes in the ground , during his recollection. But all signs fail if the tribe to which this old man belongs did not have a past thut was n great deal more brilliant and a great less bestial , than that which wo see signs of to.tiny us having been the con dition of the Mnndnns of the Inst two centuries , How about the mounds ? was asked the old man mouiuls that nro found in largo numbers along the Mis souri between Fort Yntes. ami Fort Bert- hold. Ho told'mo that villages existed in the vicinity of these mounds. They nro but the refui > o that was thrown out of the residences of the tribe. Corn coba , broken pottery , human bodfes , dead 'dogs , bones of animals , buffalo heads nnd bones , nnd all kinds of rubbish were thrown thoro. It Is Impossible to in terest an Indian in ( huso mounds. And yet these relics of the pnst nro the only thing the man can go to who deslr < 59 t 3 learn something libout the Inhabi tants of this region ris they existed cen turies ago. Their traditions may bo interesting to hear and to read , but ono always realizes that there is room for nn nbundnnro of imagination in Uio traditions of Indians. The mounds that are mot with two miles south of Maudlin , and which hnvo been pretty well ransacked by local explorers , wore , it is generally supposed , the work of Mandtin Indians before the smallpox scourge came and committed such rav ages on them. They have been pretty well leveled to the ground , and last summer a good crop of the finest Dakota corn grow over the Walhalla of the aboriginal owners ot the soil. Time and again attempts have been made to gather something more from the few remaining members of the almost extinct race than mere sighs and heavenward looks. The book describ ing the wanderings of this band of red men from the plains of Asia , to the Mis souri slope if so they wandered is as yet unwritten. The difficulties that surround its composition nro increasing day by day. Not a scrap of writing is possessed by any of the tribe , and only in the most shadowy traditions do there exist any papyrus , parchment of writ ings of any kind , tolling anything about the wanderings of the Manduns. It maybe bo in the future that there will bo de velopments in this direction. In the mind of the writer there is a fruitful Hold hero for the explorer , not merely in the mounds that this interesting people loft to the world , but in the mem ories of some of the older members of the survivors.
