Saturday afternoon there were placed
on record in the oltlco of the county
recorder the instruments and mortgage
securing the loan of ? oO,000 upon the
old Catholic church property. The
loan.was niado by the Lombard Invcbt-
tnont company , of Boston , through its
local agents. S. B. Wmlsworth & Co. ,
l Hl'Muin st. From the inception of
this enterprise Mr. Wuilswortli has
worked unce-abingly to secure its ac
complishment. The loan is n largo ono ,
the largest in fact that has over been
made on any Council Bluffs realty. In
order to ho sure of the safety of the in
vestment the head of the Boston 11 rm
inado a \isit to this city , ami
other inombors of the firm
wore here at two dilTcront times
beside. This was the only company who
would loan so large an amount on this
properly. Mr. Lombard concluded
thai the present population of the city
together with its rapid progress anil
future possibilities , made the loan ab
solutely secure. While this is true it
must bo conceded that it is a very
liberal loan. S. \Viids\rorth & Co. ,
the local agents of this company , deserve -
serve great credit for bringing to a
complete success an ontorpriho which
otherwise must have fallen through
from lack of money. The largo block
which has been planned to occupy this
elto will bo erected without any further
delay.

A change ) lias been ma.le in the location of
a part of the ilro apparatus. No. 1 reel has
been taken to the Brotidwuv house and No.
4. the single reel , is now stationed on Houth
Mnln street , foreman Neil Voohls , of the
Broadwav house is transferred to Main
street , and Andy Hill , driver Of No. 1 , goes
with it to No. I house. Captain Kapalji will
drive No. I in the future. Captain Wicks
will have charge of the elephantine truck.
The reason assigned for the change Is that it
was Impossible to station enough men at the
Main street house for the double reel , and
: iis necessitated the Iceitlon of the single
no there. The ehaiigo occasions a great
mount of kicking in the southern part of
ho city , as that is the worst lire district and
ontalns all thu lumber yards , agricultural
varchoiises , utc. , and the root now stationed
licrc carries .01) ) feet loss hose than did the
thcr one. Chief Walters is severely ccn-
urcd for ordering the change , and his com-
ictcncy to hold the position which he now
couples is called in question. His
onduct at Friday's lire told
trongly nmiinst him , as it was
0 obviously wrong that even ills assistant
vas compelled to remonstrate with him. It
coins that some time ago ho ordered the
Irtvi'i * of No. 1 hose to hitch his horses after
uyitig a lint' of hose and assist in lighting
ho lire. The order was nbcyod , and Will-
ois , ( hiding the driver at work in the burn-
ng building , demanded to know "what in
IID ji ho was doing there and whv ho was
lot looking after his horses , " to which thu
.ubordinale re'plled that In ? was'obnylng or-
lers. The chief waxed hot and was making
1 disgusting exhibition of himself , when As-
.isUint Chief Nii-holson stepped up and asked
inn if hu could noflaku a tumble to himself
vhcn a whole crowd was watching him , " and
nformcd him , moreover , that the man was
loing nothing but what ho had been told.
\fterward WaltciH apologised for his abuse ,
sa.\lng ho was "excited and didn't think
, vhat ho was about. "
An admission of this kind reflects rathci
strongly on the members of the citv council
, vho made stigh a decided kick for thu re-
noval of a thoroughly competent man and
substituting one who. according to his own
idmission , gets so excited in an emergcne'y
that he docs not know what he is doing.
A Ut.i : report'- talked with one of the nl-
Icriiicu and another city oftlciul yesterday in
regard to the matter , and both of them were
highly indignant at the change of hose reels.
Haul one of them : "It is something that it
as unjust and unreasonable as It was uncalled
'or. Now wo have the single reel and 'Oie
Put , ' a horse that has been in ser
vice hoio for iiftecn years , and
ibout live hundred leet of hose. Be
fore wo had between TOO and kUO leet of hose
ind the fastest team that the city owns.
. ' _ ' en then wo were not ro well protected as
wo should have been. There were but two
men stationed at that house. Now then , look
at the number of buildings south of Broad
way us compared with the other side. Not
withstanding all this , the South Main street
liiniso lias had two men , while No. 3 has live
and No. 4 seven. Instead of increasing the
pi election of the south side as should have
been done , it lins been losse-nod. Who is to
blame for in Why , Walters , of course , the
chief ot the lire department. It seems to me
that such an exhibition of gross Ignorance
and stupu ity is enough to condemn any ono ,
even if there1 was nothing els > o against him.
I own considerable property in that portion
tion of tbo city , and for that reason
1 have looked up the matter considerably ,
yon may think I am pretty hot about it , but
I haven't said half as much as a large num
ber of the property owners in that vicinity.
iV petition has been drawn up and has already
received dozens of signatures to have the
double reel sent back , and it will be presented
council . The aldcr-
sented to tiio to-night. -
mun tell mo that they know nothing of the
proposed change , and they arc justly indig
nant at Walter's remarkable freshness in
taking it upon himself. Nearly every mem
ber of the council will tell you that lie is in
competent , but ho was chosen simply bc-
cause Alderman Lacy had a grudge against
Walter's predecessor , ami hlu only chance of
removing him was to put in seine monentity
thct 'stood In' with the gang. I expected a
kick long before this , but the racing hose
team was taking up thejr attention , and now
that is off their minds , there will shortly bo
a clash. "
The sentiments of this ofllcial are echoed
on nil sides , and Walters is ruthlessly scored.
It is quite probable that he will receive a de
cided ' 'set back" at the council meeting this
evening.

The Ile-nvcnly City.
The second union service in which the
evangelical churches of the city joined was
held last evening ut the Presbyterian church.
Kov. W. H. W. Kccs , of the Broadway Meth
odist church , preached the sermon. The at
tendance was itiude up from the various con
gregations , and , although the evening was
warm , the church cdillco was well tilled. The
discourse was an ublo one , idealistic , yet
practical. Ha train of thought was new and
original , and Tin : HIE : is plcaseel to give its
salient features to-day.
The-themo was : "The Heavenly City , of
WnlcU God is the Builder. " Text , Hebrews
xi. , 10. Introducing Ills subject , ho referred
to Abraham as an example of ono who walked
by faith , obeying thu commands of Cod with
out question , ami looking fora city , the "Now
Jerusalem. " He then continued : "I call your
attention to the 'saints' rest' as suggested ,
tirst , in the word city ; second , God , as
tlio builder aud closing , shall direct
your attention to what is implied In looking
for a city. Cities have always borne a vital
relation to all the great reforms with which
the world has been blessed. Cities are the
centers of civilization. There could not long
exist a great nation without them. The seat
of the Jewish nation was Jerusalem , thai of
Greece was Athens , while Home was the
city of tbo Tiber. Modern cities are not less
potent , Their power is far reaching , The
heart of England is London and its throbs
are felt to the extremities of the United
Kingdom. Now York largely shapes the
commercial and financial destinies' this
nation. When Chicago was so intensely
alarmed and endangered by the great lire a
great shudder pas-sod through the whole
Kind , and was a cause of sadness across the
seas. There are so many inllucnces going
out from great cities that the blotting out of
any one-of them would cause widespread dis
aster and lamentation. Gioat cities are the
Thenaop.vhcs of the world. They are the
last fortresses of humanity. Vanquish
these , truth will go down in
utter de'eat. Victorious thcso , it
will triumph over the whole earth.
The Lord Jesus himself early llxcd his ojo
upon the city. At the ago of twelve Ho be
gan to teach In Jerusalem. In the city and
suburbs Ho performed most of His public
labors. The two greatest events of Chris
tianity , 1. e. , the crucillxloii and the resurrec
tion of Christ , did not transpire in an ob
scure place , but in thu most populous metrop
olis in Judea. When Christ KUVO His dis
ciples the command to preach they were to
begin at Jerusali'ui. Hero the early church
trceivcil her equipment for warfare und
culnfd bar tirst cre.it victory. From the
catcs of the sacred city she marched to the
conqiiett of the nations , The church of the
apostles was chlclty in the cities. Wo read
of Corinth , Thetsaloulcu , Athens , Jerusalem
'and others. So that roalljr the church lifted
lit luuuers In tLe cities aud frun Ueia ad-
anced upon the reclons round about. In
he cities the church has reared the crundest
emple * ; gathered Its largest nssemhlles :
exercised its loftiest gifts of music and
eloquence. in the cities have been
irinted bibles and literature. So that to-day
. ities are the towering landmarks of the
ehri'thin'x faith.
The samef'ict was carried by the speaker
to the reformation of the sixteenth century ,
Hid to the tc-iiperunee reform , which , begin
ning In a little citj in Ohio , had accomplished
so much and wnsto rleii with promise for the
Future * . Continuing ho said : "Now is It
not true that hi-.iveri , the cit.\ for which
Abraham looked. Is also vitally related to the
great lelorn.s going on in the world I As the
sun Is the center iirunnd which all the worlds
revolve , so ChrUt'u throne In he.iven Is the
I'olnt from which all the lines or elements of
power go forth. * * * A city sug
gests the thought of Fociety. St. Paul calls
us fellow eltl/ens with 'laints. Heaven is to
bo a social place. The social compact will bo
complete , \\hilo here wo constitute differ
ent families ; there we will all bo one
family. loel ! Is onr father.P arc His
children. The city is not to consist of
tiers of cells , cold , isolated , disconnected
from ench other , like the cells of prisoners
undergoing solitary confinement , but rather
a grand place of freedom , where .supremo
hnppmcos prevails. The song that we shall
sing will not be a solo , but a grand hallelujah
cnorus , 'Woithy Is the Lamb , for He was
slain fur us. ' it will be the grand assembly
of the chin ch of the tirst born , free from di-
visiont , all congregations constituting one
grand church. All houses makinir one city.
All praising one adorable Lord and Savior.
"In this life theie are not only distinctions ,
but giave difference * . Differences that rend
the family , and sometimes the nation , but in
the city ol the text all difference1 * will bo ro-
sulved into one grand unity. Indeed there
can be no unity without numbers. * * *
United under one common , wise leadership ,
harmony icsults from the whole.
lu that city will bo Abraham , Irom

Palinos. mid Peter from ills mart.\r's grave ;
Luther , whoe dead dust sleeps In the church
of Wittenberg : Hidley and Latitner , who

teared not the face of clay , nii.l who made
the queen tremble with his mighty truth.
Saints of all ages will be there , men women
and children u ho nave borne burdens and
who have worked for the we > rld' highest
good and God's glory. The distinctions aris
ing from creeds will no longer e-xist. Wo
shall then constitute one church and we will
then , if never before' , come to know that the
names by which churches are distinguished
on earth are all human. " * * * The
speaker addressed himself to the thought of
perpetuity suggested by the "foundations" of
the text ; to the "looking for" the city and
closed with n be.mtiful description of he.iven.
Its beauties and glories were shown by con
trast with the grande'st and loveliest crea
tions of man , for "it hath not entered into
the heart of man to conceive the things God
has in store for thine that love Him. " The
richest imagery ol language was used by the
revelator in describing it and yet it has not
and can not bo described. Similes fail ,
human conception reaches its limit , and yet
it "has not conceived" the beauties , glory
and happiness of heaven.

THE SYREN OP FRESNAYE.
Once upon a tima there was in the
woods of the isle of Aval , in the parish
of St. Cast , a maker of wooden shoos ,
who , with his wife and two children ,
lived in a poor little mud hut which ho
had built himself by the seashore , just
at the end of the valley. There are
those who say that the ruins of it may
bo boon ; but that is hardly creditable ,
for it is a lontr time since thenund
usually the cabins of makers of wooden
shoes do not last very long1.
They were not very rich , for they
had only their work to live on ; and you
know makers ot wooden shoos rarely buy
small farms. The husband eluf , ' out the
wooden shoes , his wife helped him as
vroll as she could , and the little boy and
( jirl , who wore not largo enough to work
on the wood , went every day to lish by
the shore.
Ono day , when the little boy was ilsh-
ini * unions the rocks , ho heard suddenly
a sweet , musical bOng ; and looking in
the direction from whence it seemed to
como , ho taw the siren who was singing
as she swam among the waves , and
around her the sea was so brilliant that
it dazzled you to look at it.
Ho ran very quickly to the cabin
where his father was working.
"Ah , pupa. " bald ho , "do Come and
see ! There is a llsh in the bay of Port-
au-Moulin more beautiful than any I
have seen. It sings , and it shines llko
gold ! "
"Like fire , papa , " added the girl , who
hud seen it nKo.
The bhocmukcr und hia wife hastened
to follow their children ; tut when they
reached the shore the siren had disap
peared. They saw no'siren ' on the tea
and heard no singing.
"It was nothing , wild' the mother ;
"tho children dreamed It all. "
But ho was not so irnSi'oYUilous as his
wife. The next monJinp he told his
children to go back to tlio edge ot the
water and wate'h attontlvely to PO if the
beautiful hinging tlsh wotUd s-how itself
again.
The little boy went our.-bul a soon as
he had gone a few steps froln the cabin
ho ran back , crying out :
"All , papa , the beai lful fish hns re
turned again : you can hour it sing from
hero. ' '
When they went outside they heard
a delicious nnitle in the distance : and
they hiiitenod to ge ) to the sea s.horo ,
whore they saw the siren , who Jang as
she plu.M'd nl'out on the waves , and
leaped sometimes moro than three feet
above the water.
"it is not an ordinary fish , " ' said the
'
shoemaker , "it looks 1'ike a human be
ing. "
"Ah , " said his wife , " \vo must got the
lines ; perhaps wo can catch it. 1
should like very much to see it close
by. "
They all went to work to got the
lines ready , und when the sea was high
they set them , but in vain ; they put the
choie'ost bait on the hook ; the singing
lish did not como to take it , although
they saw it every day.
The shoemaker thought often of the
wonderful lish , and doviseet means to
get it. One day as lie was walking em
the shore * , ho saw the siren , who , cra
dled by the waves and fast asleep , wns
Moating at a 'liort distance from the
shorp. lie went into the water without
making any noise , and slipped a largo
basket that ho had , under her , and car
ried her oil' in it to the land without
waking her. She was about the M/.O of
a child of eight years. She had golden
hair , and her white and polished body
resembled that of n woman , but iii-4oad
of feet she had lins. and her body ended
with the tail of a lish.
"Ahl" said the shoemaker as he
looked at her. "my little ones did not
lie. It is really the most curious thing
that was ever seen. It is half woman
and hall Ii-h. "
Ilo made these reflections on his way
back to his cabin ; and he had reached
it when the siren uwoko and said to
him :
"Ah , shoemaker , you surprised me
while I was asleep. I beg you to take
mo back to the water , now that you
have seen mo close , and I will protect
you and all your family as long as you
live. "
" " answered he "I will
"Xo , , not put
you back into the sea. I have watched
for you for a long time , and so have my
wife and children. I am going to take
you to the house so that they can see
you ; but when you have sung a soilif ! ;
'my wife wishes , I will carry you back to
the place from which I took you. "
Ho called his wife , who was named
Olurio. and ho cried to hoi * :
"Olerie. como here and see , and
bring the children. 1 have the singer
in my basket. "
The good woman ran , full of joy , fol
lowed by the little botv and ' girl , and
began to examine the sirc'n.
"sjhe asks to be taken back to the
water , " said the husbVind. "She will
sing you a song lir t. Do you agree to
that'/ "
"No. she said ; "it is too beautiful a
lish. I have never teen one like it.Ve
must eat it. "
"Ahl" said the siren , "if you feed
upon my ilc&h , thoughyou feast upon
my llsh , you will never eat anything
else in this world , for you will perish.
I am not a lish like thu others. I am
the feircn of Fresnayo , and your hus
band surprised mo while. I was sleeping.
Ask of mo what you will and I will
grant it , for I have the power of a fairy.

"What do you say about it ? " Olcrio
asked her husband.
"If you consent to it I am very will
ing to put her back into the sea. It
would bu a shame to kill her , she is so
pretty and has never done any harm to
any ono. "
They each took hold of ono end of the
basket and carried the siren gently to
the sea and let her plunge into it again
without thinking of asking anything of
her.
her.When
When she felt the freshness of the
water she shouted with laughter for joy
that she was no longer in captivity , and
she said to the shoemaker , very sweetly :
"What do you ask of mo nowV
"I ask some bread , some lish anel
clothing for my wife and children. "
"You shall have all that in twenty-
four hours , " said the siren.
"I should like very well , also , " added
ho. "if it is in your power , to have i
little money to pay my master ; for I am
not at all rich. "
The siren did not make any reply
but she began to llap the water with
her llns , and each time that she struck
the waves they Mashed u | > in little
drops , and all that went up in the ail
became gold , which fell down at tlic
feet of the shoemaker. The shore was
soon covered with it. Then she became
still , and said to the shoe-maker and his
wife
"All that is for you , good people ; yoi
can pick it up. ' '
They thanked the siren , who went oil
singing. Then they filled their pockets
with.gold and returned to their cabii
vorv'happy.
When the twenty-four hours ha <
passed Olorie and her husband returnee
to the shore to look for the clothinj ,
that the siren had promised them
They heard her singing in the distance
and soon they saw her glide over the
waves and como near them , always
singing nor sweet and melodious song
She Hupped the \\ntor with her lins ; i
largo wave broke inte ) foam on the
strand and rolled back.leaving . at the
foot of the shoemaker a Jariro chest
Then the siren leaped throe times pu
pf the water and said : * 'Ypu will fine
in that chest what I promised you
Good-by , till I see you ligaln you who
have boon so good to Ine. When you
want homo llsh do not forgot this
shore. "
They took the chest away with then
to their hut. It contained good clothing
made to lit them ; and every time tha
they or thqir children wanted llsh thoj
went to the sea shore and in a few
moments they caught an abundance.
b'or a whole year I hey did not see the
siren. The purse grojiv lighter mean
while , and the lighter it grow the moro
they thought of the siren. They oftei
went to the sea shore , listening niu
hoping to hear her voice. Ono elnj
they heard her singing in the distance
They ran at oncq to the shore , and were
glad to see her gliding over the waves
All along whore she had passed the sen
gleamed like a pathway of lire.
When she came within a little dis
tunco the shoemaker said to her :
"My siren , I am very glad to gee yOi
again. If you will you can dome agroa
service , for I have no longer eithei
bread or money. "
"I will give you enough to fill youi
purse again , " said the siren ,
After saying those words shounfoldee
her flns , beat the water around her , line
sent to the shore a wave of gold and
silver.
"With that , " she said , "you can buy
nil you require ; , but , if you wish to kco ;
t , uce It well. You will see mo no
nore. I nm going to leave this conn-
ry and go to India. "
The hireu went away after having
