James Burns was tried yesterday for stealing an overcoat from the Bloomer school building. The social announced to bo given at the house of Mrs. Runyan this evening has been postponed. There is a call for a mass convention of independent voters to bo held in the Temple hall to-night. Permit to wed was granted yesterday to Christian Christiansen and Chris tiana Larson , both of this county. The case of August Voss for assault ing Peter Knecht , was again continued by Squire Hhurx yesterday afternoon. One enthusiastic citizen yesterday bet 1100 that Dr. Bellinger would not bo elected alderman. The cold cash was put up. The "Union Spy" is to bo presented at the opera hoino Monday evening , 'for the benefit of the Dodge light guurdd. William Bohning , who has been in custody awaiting a hearing for contempt of a saloon injunction , was yesterday released on a bond of $1.000.

Paul Jens , R. Dorscher and Thomas Grutn. of Minden , wore yesterday brought in to answer to a charge of con tempt of injunctions restraining them from Bellini : liquors. They ertch gave bonds in the sum of $1,000 , and wore re leased. The white-coated trees and shrubbery throughout the city presented a pleasing picture last night under the rays of the electric lights. The telephone and telegraph - graph wircH resembled silver threads running from the center of the city out into the outside world. The audience- the opera house Iftsl evening was very small as compared with the attraction , Jnnuuschock as ' Mary Stuart" was sublime. The su | > - port was very good. This evening this same talented actress will appear as "Meg Morrilios. " The house will probably bo filled from pit to dome. Although there is no rush for real estate a great deal is being done in a quiet way. W.V. . Bilgor reports sev eral sales during the week , as cloes also Johnston & Van Patten. Other olllccs arc not behind in this business , and at this season of the year the outlook is very promising. Dr. Holby , of Iowa City , and Dr. Young , ol Burlington , two of the besl specialists in the state in car and eye diseases , are In the city making an ex amination of the pupils of the deaf and dumb institution. Some interesting and valuable facts are expected to bo collated from this examination. A mass mooting of voters is called for this evening at the Masonic- temple for the purpose of putting an indopenden ticket in nomination. Dissatisfaction with several of the democratic nomina tions is the cause of the "bolt , " and ai attempt will bo made to nominate good men irrespective of party prejudices. Nick O'Brien has concluded that ho will not carry out his throat of running as an independent candidate for cit ; marshal. His | K > licy will doubtless be to quietly knife Guanolla , and at the same time apparently submit to the decision cision of the convention , and thus be cure another term on the police force Messrs. Isaac Johnson , of Omaha , am J. B. Christian , of this city , have formct copartnership to deal in grain. Thei S oaaquarters will bo in Omaha , room 35 , chamber of commerce. While Mr Christian will operate largely outsidi of this city , and do business elsewhere ho will , in all probability , move hi family hero and make Council Bluffs hi homo. Ono of tho. slates made up for tho" re publicans has the names oi Chiirle Wnite for mayor , L. B. Cousins fo marshal , L. Kinnohuu for auditor ! C. M. Hnrl for city attorney. It is not known whether any of these gentlemen would accept the nomination , if given , but they would make a strong combina tion , and certainly would command many votes. The business of Architects Allen & Bell has outgrown the proportions of their present studio , and they have boon compelled to outage it to make room for draughtmen , etc. Another room is being connected with the main office , besides which other improve ments are being added. When finished I their rooms will bo very fine. The body oi R. S. Mansfield , the brakeman killed near Columbus , Nob. , has been brought to his home on Sixth avenue , near Tenth street , in this city. The death of Mansfield was a peculiar ono. In setting a brake ho fell onto eome agricultural machinery which was loaded on an open cur , but it did not ap pear that ho was seriously injured in the fall. A little later , however , as ho ' ' was in the caboose , ho suddenly died. f * It is amusing to note the manner in which the official record is made up in ' regard to the award of the printing. It states that the contract for binding was lot to the Nonpareil , "it being the low est bidder. " The motion to lot the con tract for the printing to the Glebe docs not say "it being the lowest bidder. " The record is as silent on that point as arc the democratic supervisors when asked why they thus give away about 700 of the tax-payers' money. The Avoca Mall is conceded to have bid about 9700 loss than the Glebe , but the supervisors wore afraid the Avoca printer might lose money by U. The bond of 92,600 which ho filed was security enough for the county. L. Kinnohan , the present city audi tor , announces himself as a candidate for re-election. Ho has proved nn effi cient officer , and has now tbo details of that office BO in hand as to bo of Kiucli more raluo to the city than any newman man could possibly bo for the coming Jcar. Mr. Kinnohan is not n bitter partisan , and It is not unlikely that ho will bo endowed by the republican con vention. IT BO hjs election seems as sured. Ho has boon ono of the most trusty iaoOF advqcatcs , and Is a true . One of the strange coin- Stjrknigtnftn. the campaign is that his democratic opponent , like himself , has lost a leg by an accident in the railway _ ' . yards. The race will probably bo bo- .twccn these two ono-lcggcd men , f ' Neither of them are crippled mentally > i & . ' however. ' ' . : . ' ; ARCH COFFHAN ACQUITTED , The Jury Almost Unanimous on the First Ballot. THE TRIAL OF THE "KID. " Ho Explain * How He fiir.nfiRled To- bncco and Whlnkjr Into Jail A MlnMng Oarncr Farmer The Ilcpnbltcan Primaries. Coffinnii Not Gnlltjr. The jury in the Coffman coso , after being out all night , returned a verdict yesterday morning finding CofTman not guilty. In other words the killing of Jack Main was deemed by them justifia ble. When the jury first retired the ovcgnln before , an informal ballot was taken and the ballot stood six to six. Then a formal ballot was taken , and stood cloven for ncquittAl to ono for con viction. This ono hold out until some time later , and then the verdict ot ac quittal was agreed to by the twelve. This verdict was what was expected by nearly all who had heard the evi dence , or were familiar with the facts. The cnso has excited much public attention from the prominence of ho defendant , A. W. ' Coffman , an old and wealthy citizen of Avoca. There has been much zeal shown by a few residents of Avoci > , hos tile to Coffman- and in the minds of many the prosecution had grown into a good deal of persecution. The bitter ness which has characterized the at tempt to have Coffman convicted has turned public feeling rather in his favor , and the verdict of acquittal is therefore the more gratifying. The evidence in the cas > o is looked upon as fully warranting the verdict. It was in fact seriously contemplated when the state rested , for the defciibo to rest also , and let the cabo bo decided upon the testimony of the prosecution wholly. This indicates how strong was the con fidence that Coffman would bo acquit ted. ted.It is hoped by many that now that this verdict has forever set at rest the question of the guilt or innocence of Coffman that the turmoils which have afforded so many newsy items from Avoca will conic to an end. Those who have felt hostile towards the defendant ought to bo pretty well satisfied , for ho has buffered it good deal during the past two years , having been dragged through two trials , the former ono resulting in a disagreement. He has been made defendant in several other suits grow ing out of this , and the numerous com plications have kept him on a cons-Unit nervous strain , besides putting him to great cxpcnbo and loss of time.

" If any criminal case can bo termed amubing , that.of John Leonard , who has numerous aliases , proved so in the district court ye.storday. Leonard is better known as "The Kid. " Ho has served several jail terms and has been the cause of numerous sensations. John Dunn , while on the police force , tried to arrest him once about three years ago , and , the fellow running , Dunn shot to frighten him , but instead aimed hot ter than be know and lodged a bullet in the fleshy part of the fellow's thigh. Ho stopped. The latest charge against 'The Kid1' is that ho passed s.aws , files , drills , etc. , into the county jail through the south window in order to give the confidence man , Ed wards , the means of escaping. Sheriff O'Neill captured the contraband articles and the grand jury indicted the "Kid. " It was his trial on this charge which took place yesterday , and resulted in his * being found guilty. Ho admitted having pas-sed in through the window tobacco and whibky , but drew the line at baws and files. Ho even went so far as to explain the e.xact way in which he used to binugglo in the corn juice and nieo- tine nccebbity. Ho would get a half- pint bottle of whisky , and some tobacco , put them in a little sack , and then reaching through the lirbt sot of bars , would swing it back and forth until it swung far enough for the boys inside to catch on. Ono of the witnesses in the case , on the part of the state , was Schislcr , who has been locked Up for sixteen months waiting for his trial for the murder of Keating. Ho swore that he saw the fellow pass in the tools , and a request was made to have them given to Ed wards. The tools wore used in sawing ono of the bars , but nrompt discovery prevented any jail break. An attempt was made on the part of the defense to prove that Schisler had told some of the other prisoners that a woman passed those tools in. For this purpose , two men awaiting sentence for norse stealing , Witmore and Adams , wore put on the stand , but they could not remember that Schisler had over said anything of the sort.

Advices received by "Q" officials in this city yesterday point toward the success of the railroad company in the present strike. The following dispatch was received by General Agent Mar shall from Gcnoral.Managor Merrill : I am officially advised from Chicago , where our president now Is , that the report ot an intended settlement between the strikers and the company is entirely without foundation. We shall stand by our now men , and they cun expect to hold their present positions as long as they obey our rules. A regular freight , No. 14 , arrived yesterday afternoon. Another freight was sent out at 6 o'clock. Everything about the yards was quiet and orderly. A report was circulated that a squad of Pinkerton men , armed with Winchest ers , came in on the Rock Island Wednesday evening , and after drilling for a while proceeded west. Another report was that twouty-fivo Reading engineers with their firemen wore brought in two same evening , and quar tered nt private houses about the city. Mr. Marshall denied both reports , and said that there was absolutely no Authority for thorn. Ho informed a BEE reporter that it was really surprising to see the number of old and reliable en gineers who arc applying for 'positions. Tunes have been rather hard for them a.nd they had resolved to quit railroad ing , but the present opportunity came just in the nick of time for thorn , and they n6w apply for places , bringing their letters and certificates with them. The strikers on the other hand , are equally confident that the contest will bo disastrous to the railway comjrimy. They say that now men , green hands , nro already doing so much damage and causing so many accidents that the road Oannot stand it long. Shcafo loans money on real estate.

As a rule there was harmony in their deliberations. There was alt > o appar ent nn earnest determination to select such men as delegates as shall faithfully represent the needs and demands of the city in the convention which convenes next Saturday. The fooling was every where current , and found ready ex pressions that at this time especially , the best men should bo elevated to the positions of trust to bo tilled at the pending election. With such men as these upon the ticket it was thought that oven in the municipality the re publican party has n fighting chnnco. The First ward caucus met at the Western house. The following dele gates were elected to the city conven tion : E. B. Gardiner , John Hammer , M. B. Brown , L. Sherwood , W. H. Lynchard , M. A. Moore , William Sears. Mr. J. C.

" At the last incetingof the city council iresolution was introduced in the inter est of the traveling public. It origin ated in the present strike on the Chicago cage , Burlington & Quincy and the em- iloymcnt of alleged incompetent men : o run their passenger engines. This I'Cbolution embraces the gist of this matter and provides a remedy. It pro vides , foutho creation of a board of ex aminers by the council , which ap pointees -nro to be designated by this lody. The board shall bo duly ac credited engineers and shall do their duty without favor to person or corpora tion. Every person now running an engine , or who shall hereafter do so , upon any road inside the corporate limits of the city , shall appear before this board for examination as to ability Lo perform the duties of their positions If qualified their names are to bo regis tered and a certificate shall bo issued to them. If they are incompetent such credentials shall bo withheld. Violation of this ordinance imposes a fine of $500 or sixty days imprisonment in the county jail , or both , aUtho discre tion of the court before whom the case may bo brought. The resolution was referred to a com mittee , and is to comp up next Satur day evening for adoption. It is claimed that the council has no right to enforce biich an ordinance if it should enact it , and the prediction is made that the council will not make the attempt. Independent Candidate. To the voters of the city of Council Bluffs , la. : I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of city auditor at the ensuing election to bo held March 6,1888. L. Kix > Money to loan. W. S. Cooper. A "Sonb" Engineer. Last evening about 7:30 : o'clock the outgoing passenger train on the Chicago cage , Burlington & Quincy collided with a freight train at the Wabnsl crossing , about half a milo below the Milwaukee roundhouse. The Wabash switch engine was taking sovora freight cars up to the transfer at the time of the collision , and instead o stopping at the crossing the "Q" ' train smashed into them. The en gineer on the passenger train was formerly a brnkoman in the employ o the C. B. & Q. , and has occupied an en gineer's position since the present strike has been in effect. Some of the freight cars were badly smashed and the tender - dor of the Wabash engine was thrown from the track. The Burlington engine was thrown from the track and dis abled. The Wabnsh track , was cleared in a short time , but the Burlington company had a force nt work sev eral hours getting their , track open ; the forward truck on the Burlington en gine was badly smashed , and the drivers twisted out of shape. It will have to undergo extensive repairs before mak ing another trip. A few more such les sons ought to convince the now engi neers that ono train at a time is all that can bo safely depended upon to occupy a crossing.

BILL NYE AT THE BANK. to be Idciitilled by the Bank 1 llOHS. New York World : About this time I was calling at the First Natinoal bank of Chicago , the greatest bank , if I am not mistaken , in America. I saw the bonds securing , its issue of national currency the otncr day in Washington , and I am quite sure the custodian told mo it was the greatest of any bank in the union. Anyway , it was sufficient , so I felt like doing my banking busi ness there whenever it became handy to do so. I asked for a certificate of deposit ot $2,000 , and had the money to pay for it , but I had to bo identified. "Why ? " I said to the receiving teller , "surely you don't require a man to bo identified when ho deposits money , do you ? " "Yes , that's the idea. " "Well , isn't that a now twist on the crippled industries of this country ? " "No ; that's our rule. Hurry up , plenso , and don't keep men waiting who have money and know how to do busi ness. " "Well , I don't want to obstruct busi ness , of course , but suppose , for in stance , I get myself identified by a man I know and n man you know and a man who can leave his business and come hero for the delirious joy of identifying mo , and you admit that I nin the man I claim to bo , corresponding as to de scription , age , sex , etc. , with the man I advortisu myself to bo , how would it bo about your ability to identify yourself as the man you claim to bo ? I go all over Chicago , visiting all the large - houses in search of a man Fork-packing know , and who is intimate with lit erary people like mo , and finally wo will say I find ono who knows mo and who knows you , and whom you know , and whocnn leave his leaf lard long enough to como hero and identify ; mo all right. Can you identify yourself in such a way that when I put in my $2,000 you will not loan Uout on insufficient security , as they did in Cincinnati the other day , as soon as I go out ot town ? " "Ohwo don't care especially whether you trade hero or not , so that you hurry up and lot other people havp a chance. Where you make a mistake is in trying to rehearse a picco hero instead of going out to Lincoln park or somewhere in a quiet part of the city. Our rules are that a man who makes a deposit hero must bo identified. " "All right. Do you know Queen Vic toria ? " "No. sir ; I do not. " "Well , then , there is no use in dis turbing her. Do you know any of the other crowned heads ? " "No ' sir. " ' "We'll , then , do you know President Cleveland , or any of the cabinet , or senate or members of the house ? " "No. " ( "That's it , you see. I move in ono sot and you in another. What respect able people do you know ? " "I'll have to ask you to stand aside , I guess and give that throng of people a chance. You h vo no right to take up my time in this way. The rules of the blink are inflexible. Wo must know who you are oven before we accept your de posit. " , I then drew from my pocket a news paper which contained a voluptuous pic ture of myself. ' Removing my hat and making a court salaam by letting out four additional joints in my lithe and versatile limbs , I asked if any further identification would bo necessary. Hastily closing the door of the vault and jerking the combination , ho said that would bo satisfactory. I was then permitted to deposit in the bank. Robca of the Chief Justice.

At the top it IB ganged to a yoke , which is short on the shoulders and forms a ( Icon scallop at the back. The yoke bus a silk lining between the outside and inner ono of silk. The sleeves are a yard and a fourth wide and reach to the hands. The lining of the sleeves is formed by doubling the material at the bottom , turning it up on the insldo and plaiting it about n quarter of a yard above the bottom to a narrower silk lining , which nicely fit the justice's arm.

The sleeves are gauged to the yoke on the shoulder with many rows of gaug ing , but not so many us the buck of thu gown , whore it is a fourth of a yard deep. A new gown on the bench is subjected to as critical an examination by the wearers of older gowns as a woman's Easter bonnet at church is popularly supposed to be. Justice Miller's gown was made in Paris , but all the rest of the Justices wear the product of domes tic fingers and homo industry. A Wash ington woman , whose hair has turned from black to white in the forty years that she has been making these gowns for the supreme court , received Justice Lamnr's first order. Justice Field had a brand new gown nil ready to put on when the now justice came to take the oath , and ho lent it to Mr. Lamnr for the occasion. A Reprieve for the Cominncd. . Wretched men and women long con demned to suffer the tortures of dyspep sia , are filled with now hopes after a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty , if the Bitters it * persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek its aid. Flatu lence , heartburn , sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals , the ner vous tremors and insomnia of which chronic indigestion is the parent , disap pear with their hateful progenitor. Most beneficent of stomachics ! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful eloquence in those who , bcnotittcd by it , speak voluntarily in its behalf. ' It requires a graphic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia , but in many testimonial received by the proprietors of the Bitters , these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness.
