' 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.

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

ard of rates and prices.

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.

CofTiimii'H Trial.
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.

our mutual interest.
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

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
. " °
proud. ,
The Only Ijlifo That Gels There.
It has beon-V-well said by a distin
guished writoSnthat. "tho Michigan ,
Central is the olily 'Niagara 'Tails
Route' in the country. "
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
