The Fremont ( Neb. ) Tribune of Thursday
evening last contained the following :
Sheriff Mallon has been on the alert for
several days for the watch recently stolen
from Thomas Frahm. Ho has succeeded in se
curing the thief , whoso name is Oscar
Sprink , who occupied one of Frank Frahm's
rooms a few days previous to the theft , and
on whoso person was found the chain and
charm. Tlio thief was arrested at Council
illuffs , and the possession of the watch can
lasily bo traced to him , but to get possession
of it , which is tlio desirable point , scenn to
t < e a matter of difficulty. Our energetic
sheriff is of the opinion that if all tlio civil
oHlccrs in Onuilui and Council Hlulfs were
ntcrcsted In the detection of thieves the
suppression of crime and the restoration nf
stolen property , that an outside ofllccr would
stand a better chance of success.
Tills "energetic sheriff. " is the unfortunate
[ losscssor of a very poor memory. The HlutTs
iiolico have captured two Fremont criminals
in the past two months and held them for the
nrrival of oflicers , beside * , on both occasions ,
recovering the greater part of the stolen
liropcrty and puttms the "energetic sheriff'1
from Fremont on the tr.ick ol the remainder.

Work was commenced yesterday morning
laying the brick on Willow avenue. During
the day spectators were quite numerous and
a variety of opinions were expressed as to
the ultimate su cccss of the experiment. It.
was unanimously hoped that briek paving
would prove a success hero , but there were
many doubling Thomases. Some feared tlio
results ot water nnd frost , others thought
the bricks too soft to stand the poundinc of
sharpened calks , and still others thought the
foundation improperly prepared for making
the experiment a success. A few were
found who believed the paving would prove
a success. The foundation has been very
carefully prepared , consisting of a heavy
layer of cinders thoroughly foiled and cov
ered with several layers of flue and caarso
gravel , each pressed down with a heavy
roller. The bricks are laid in two courses ,
the first Hat , and the top course on edge.
They are laid loosely und the space between
them lillcd with flue gravel. A few prophesy
an abundance of brickdust for the annoy-
ancoof neighboring housekeepers , but the
majority smother their doubts nnd hope for
success.

They Made No Motion.
Yesterday was motion day In the district
court , but owing to a rush of other business
no motions were heard. Tno case of Critten-
den vs the Springfield Insurance company
occupied the attention of the court for the
entire day. DocisUms were rendered in three
cases that had been taken under advisement.
They were as follows : C.irr vs Odell Bros. &
Co. , damages In favor of the defendants.
State of Iowa vs. Mrs. L. S. Amy , demurrer
sustained. This case was brouuht to hold
defendant for the payment of a line Imposed
upon George L. Smith while occupying a
building belonging to the defendant. The
court ruled that us she was Ignorant of the
violation of the Injunction she could not bo
held. In the case of Odell & Day vs Kodefer ,
intcrvenor , judgment was rendered In favor
of the defendant. To-morrow morning the
court will begin to grind on the criminal

expiration of the present gas charter before
granting another one. The reason given by
the legal lights for this belief is that the ex
clusive franchise clause in the charter can
not bo made to stick. Said one of the mem
bers of n well known linn : "Circumstances ,
of course , have a grout deal to do with such
cases , but it is generally understood that all
legislation is against exclusive franchises , ns
they have a tendency to monopoly , bv pre
venting healthy competition. If a company
was induced to locate a plant or engage in
business of some kind that would not pay ut
the start , but would maku up for it in after
years , tin exclusive franchise clause would
| irobibl.v : hold , as that would be the sole In-
ilucement offered. In cases of good paving
business from the start , it would bo hard to
make the exclusive franchise hold water.
The gas company hero lias i always paid a
very fair dividend , and it is'cntitlud to no
especial protection ut the hand ) of the courts ,
and would faro very hard if its case was
| ) rcsonjed. Tlio city couilcir.can and ought
to grant another charter immediately. "

The attention of Mr. F.irmworth and other
citizens on William avenua is called to the
pile of torn up cedar or cyurci blocks at the
crossing of Madison nnd Pierce streets.
These blocks have been laid a little over a
year and show decay on every one , and at
such a rate that the paving from which they
were taken cannot last more than two years
longer , perhaps not that. These gentlemen
will much reuTCt hereafter , if they succeed
in having the change made from brick to
wood , even if there is doubt of the dura
bility of brick pavement. The experiment
should bo made , that our psoplo may know
which pavement is the best. It Is n great
pity that Wickhatn Hros. did not pave Wil
low avenue early In the season , that the test
could have been made thia year. We ven
ture the prediction that after this brick pave
ment is laid and tested by three months'
travel and use , that there never will bo an
other street In Council Uluffs paved with
wood. If there is any doubt about wood
paving after the above inspection , let the
doubters call on Mr. Hixb.y and obtain his
experience.

At 12 o'clock last night the entire street
railway system of this city passed Into the
hands of the Council HlufTs and Omaha
bridge company , who will equip It with elec
tric motive power and rtjn U In connection
with their new inotor line between this city
nnd Omaha. The new company has virtually
been in possession of the line for some time ,
but the formal transfer was not made until
last night. THE HEK stated several weeks
ago that negotiations to this effect were In
progress , but neither of the interested parties
saw fit to acknowledge it until now.
The change , when fully completed , will bo
a vast improvement over the present system ,
and do away with the reckless mule driving
scon upon our streets for months past. The
elootrio motor company is fast getting its
line in readiness for operation , and it will bo
but a very short time until horse cars ure n
thing of the past , and the electric current
will furnish our moans of rapid transit.
An Odd Silver Wedding.

company , and Mr. nnd Mrs. August Segrist ,
stngo malinger. An hour wns thus spent
most cnjoynbly. Hcautiful silver souvenirs
weio presented commemorative cf this
happy event In the lives of the two couples
mentioned. The gifts were all purchased of
local houses.
Dc-atliof MTH. li. II. Josslyn ,
Last evening the sad news reached this
city that Mrs. Kmellne Josslyn had passed
away from this life at 4:30 : yesterday after
noon. The homo was at Janesville , Wis.
Here were passed the earlier years of her
married life. Here were born the three
children which have been the joy of her lUc.
Hero were associated the many friends who
to-day weep over the form of ono they loved.
Here hho l.ild down the burden of life , and ,
.surrounded by those most dear , ministered
to by hands which delighted In rendering lov
ing service , she peacefully passed nwiiy.
Hut a few months ago her younjr-
rst daughter , Emma , died in this
city. To the mother this , the first
real bereavement came with crushing force ,
und irom its effects she never fully recov
ered. Her daughters , Mrs. H. Tilton und
Mrs. P. M. Pryor , were with her at the house
of dissolution , the latter having arrived there
on Friday last , and the former having gone
there on a visit several days previous.
Hers was a singularly sweet und modest
life , and ono in which were combined withal
the elements of a noble Christianity. In her
life it was her chief aim to make her loved
ones nnd those surrounding her happy , and
in the hour of death wo wet not but that lov
ing hands beckoned her across the tide into
the fields of peace beyond.
Mrs. Josslyn was the wife of Mr.
L. H. Josslyn , who survives her. She
was quite widely known in this city from
her many visits to her daughters here. Her
illncis was very short' she having been at
tacked by plciiro-piieunioniu last Sunday.
What arrangements will bo made for tlio
funeral are not yet known , but will bo un-
nounccd Inter.
A Ijlvlnii Necklace.
Mrc. Fenton , of North Bergen , N. .L ,
is alleged to bo the possessor of n white
cat with n living necklace. The neck
lace is a blender black snake , about two
feet long , its dark color showing in
marked contrast to the cat's white coat.
About n month ngo the cat went bound
ing into the breakfast roomhi&ting and
spitting in a paroxysm of terror. Her
alarm was quickly shared by Die Fon-
ton family , who were at the table , when
they ascertained that she was half
strangled by a snake that had coiled it
self around her neck , She seemed un
able to help herself either with teeth
or claws , and her friends undertook to
assist her with sticks and umbrellas.
They chased her around the room ,
whacking away vigorously nt her , miss
ing the snake , but hitting the cat every
time , until pussy , not approving of this
mode of deliverance , sprang wildly out
of the oncn window and ran nwny. For
thrco days Mrs. Fenton mourned for
her cat as for ono dead. Then she re
turned , still wearing the reptile neck
lace. She was tranquil now , however ,
and seemed to like the situation , resist
ing every ofl'ort to remove the serpent.
A saucer of milk was placed before her ,
and as she lapped it up the snake un
coiled part of its body , lowered its head
into the saucer and the two drank amic
ably together. This singular friend
ship has continued.
