The police are helping him wait , but the stranger cometh not. Tlio DIM Hut Court. The squatter cases are still on trial in the district court. Although there are Ihousandsof dollars involved , these cw-cs oKfito but little interest among out siders except in a general way , the only curiosity manifested being as > to the final result. The hUlor.v of the cases has previously appeared in thee columns. The recorder's olllcc is turned upside down and books and records with out number are introduced in evidence. Aside from the attorney ! , and wit nesses there nro few parties in the courtroom , and the matter will be de cided with very little excitement. No now indictments have been re turned , but the grand jury will proba bly make another report this afternoon. That body will not finish its labors to day , but will probably manage to com plete its investigations about the latter part of next week. An enormous amount of work is being done , and the indictments will occupy the attention of the court for some time. Heady For The Council n luffs Electric Light company has a large force of men at work preparing for the starting up of the incandescent plant. Wires are strung through the eity , and the build ings of subscribers are also beintr wired. Wires are put up at the rate of about fifty lignts per day , and about five bundled have thus far been put up. As there are subscribers for about tv\o thousand lights , the work will bo com pleted by the present month. The work is albo progressing rapidly at the power building , and the walls will bo tip in two days. The new machinery is on the road. There are two engines of 12o and sixty horse power , and two dynamos names , one of 1,500 and the other of 750 lights capacity. This makes l,2"jO ! in candescent lights of sixteen candle power each , which will bo started up as boon as they can bo put in readiness. It is o.x peeled to have the plant run ning some time between the 20th and 2oth of this month. The work is boiug pushed , and the citi/sens will be sup plied with the new system of lighting much sooner than wnsoxpccted a month ago. _ _ A 151oody Assault. The three parties against whom in dictments wore returned Thursday have since been arrestca and are now in the county jail. They are John Farrell and George and Joseph Wolt. They are in dicted for assault with intent to commit murder. Farrell was arrested Thurs day night while in bed at his homo in Wcston.and the Wolf brothers \\ere ar rested at an early hour yesterday morn ing. The crime for which these par- tics wore indicted was committed , last December , and the victim was Joseph Hobnail. Tlio assailants lay in wait for him near Underwood , and beat and pounded him most unmercifully , nearly Killing him. There had been bad blood between the parties for some time. The Farrolls , Wolfs and Ilolmans are neigh bors and there have been numerous dif ficulties , which I'm al Ty culminated in the assault on Joe Helm an. None of the indicted parties have been admitted to ball. Farrcll was brought in by Sheriff O'Neill and Deputy Sheriff O'Connor , and the Wolf brothers wore arrested by Deputy Sheriffs O'Connor andUurrio. The City KiimncoH.

Last Wednesday afternoon , tiennie Stubbs , nn olovon-ycar-old boy , visited the storeof Kisomun & Co , and showed an order for a suit of clothes and other material , signed by Captain L. Kirscht , the grandfather of the boy. The arti cles were given him , although the order was pronounced a forgery by the bookkeeper. Yesterday it was discov ered that such was the case , and Chief Lucas was put on the track of the boy. Tlits youngster visited Dohany'u stable in company with another boy named 13aker. ana presented another forged order /or / a couple of ponies. They wore secured , and the boys started out , closely followed by the ofticor. They abandoned the animalSon Upper Broad way , whore they wore tlnd to a hay- stack. The fugitives then etartod out on foot , but were captured near the brewery , At the request of Captain Kirdcht the boy a w.oro released. Youncr Stubbs stated that the order wus signed by another purson , and that he simply presented it. Ho secured about $ i.0 worth of goods. The matter will prob ably bo dropped. " | N R. W.

The latest fad , and one much more likely to be productive of good than the majority of these outgrowths of our rapid civili7iition , writes a Chattanooga , Tonn. , correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch , has recently developed among the night operators on the Nash ville , Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad , between Nashville & Cnattanooga. The operators have organized a Sunday school , which meets at different points along the wire every Sabbath morning at 2 o'clock. This novel association is opened by prayer by the superinten dent J. B. Blumbletnight operator at Wartraco , Tenn. After the prayer and reading of the scripture lesson the reg ular international Sunday school lesson classes are organized , and the pupil with the quickest mind and nimblest lingers captures the circuit , and his generosity will have to bo relied upon to prevent n corner on answers and give till a fair showing. Of course singing is impossi ble. No amen corners can bo estab lished , and no flirting with the pretty girl in the next class will over trouble the serenity of this Sunday-school ; no jealousies of organist and chief singer ; only the soft clicking of the machines and the murmur of the wires in tlio clear night air , oirrying the message which was first carried by the angels on another starry night almost nineteen centuries ago. DTho first regular lesson was on last Sabbath morning. Tno theme was the cleansing of the leper , the old pathetic story of his faith and healing as it is told by St. Mark in the llrst chapter of his opi.st.lo. Reverent fingers sent the words over the magic wires. "If Thou wilt Thoifcans't make mo clean ; " then from another sleeping town came the murmur as if in answer to the prayer of each soul so mysteriously in com munication with other souls by this God-given mystery , "I will ; bo thou clean. " Some one along the line was not aware of these services , ana the worshipers wore startled by tlio next dispatch , which announced : "And ho straightway charged him Cabbage , lie per Ib ; potatoes , Irish , 15n)2o ) ( , and forthwith sent him away with the mar ket closing dull on wheat. " There bus always been a fooling of pity for these boys of the wires , who , through the night longmust do nothing but listen daring the ghostly hours to the monotonous tick , tick of the instru mentsand have greatly desired to paint some b'oft tinges on the hard tragedy of their ovory-night life which they needs must live. But down hero in the sleepy southland these- electric knights have solved the dilllculty for themselves. Think of what an era of religious ac tivity wo may expect to see when , in stead of beginning > rollgious services with Sunday school at 00 : ! a. in. , wo road all aloilg the line there will bo Sunday school services beginning promptly ut 2 a. m. and continuing one liour.

Ho harrani&d tlio meeting until the crowd became impatient and called loudly for .T. F. Uctiin , so loudly that Has call was compelled to yield his place on the lostrum to Mr. Bollm. "As I look about me , " said Mr. Bchtn , "I sec present many poisons , known to be ad vocates of the Jefferson square site , who are not residents of this ward and have no place in this meeting.

" ] We're to be robbed for their benefit , " Dan O'ICcofo was vehemently called for , Imt Pat Toril iiishcdto the platform and began tolling the crowd what an honest councilman he had been , and to argno the question in the regular Jeffersonian style , In which tne "rich men" and the "dear people" occupied a conspicuous place. Ha said ho would like to bet a suit of clothes that the election would go in favorjof Jefferson square , jut when a little man in the audience nroso mid offered to put up the price , Pat dis creetly tool : his seat. Dan O'Kcofo followed with a speech In which ho openly charged Furay with oppos- ng the interests of the laboring men ; 1 Jus- call with being a traitor to his constituoiisy and Corby with using his ofilcial position to ironfotc his own interests. Furay was given an opportunity to explain away the charges made against him , but his ixcuses were very lame. When ho had Hu shed , O'KcelTootrcied to substantiate every statement ho had inado with unassailable n oofs , John Hey followed Furay , and told how , during the dump strike. Jefferson square was the only place the workingmen had to nect without fear of arrest , and now it was iroposcd to take this nwuy from them. Ho trraigncd Corby , HnscaH , Furay and Swift even more severely than did O'Keeffe , ipcnly charging them , with attempt to do- niud the people as publio officers. After Mr. Hey had finished , Hnscall again crowded to the platform and entered upon a most virulent and vulgar tirauo igalnst Mr. Kdward Hoscwatcr.
