The con lid unco man bobbed up
sorcnuly again yesterday morning R'ltl
sprung his threadbare check laekel
without the slightest suspicion of ti
patch to cover its nakedness. George
Kngnlmoyer , a fresh .young man with
more money than brains , was the vic
tim. A well dre sou. nieo appearing
follow approached him ut tlio corner of
Pearl mid Willow avenue , and said that
lie must raise $100. and ollcred a ehcclc

the Pearl street side and down again lethe

is still waiting. 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.

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.

SUNDAY-SCHOOLING BY W.RI.
The Uiilqtio liiblc Class llcld by Ten-
nc sco Telegraph Operators.
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.

and the citizens of that neighborhood hopad to
have a quiet and free discus-don in order
that they might decide upon the course to

sion of the hall. Other * came in and after a
tune the mooting was organujJ by the elec
tion of .M. II. Itediicld as chairmuii , and A.
Heed as secretary.
As soon as the selection of speakers hail
been made , Hascall jumped to the platform
and boTiin setting-forth arguments in favor
of Joftorson square the same arguments
that have been set forth in the now notorious
yellow-backed pamphlets and liiileombe's
effusion. 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. What arc tlioy hoio for ?
To attempt to bulldoze and intimidate us ,
gentlemen. Hut they can't do it cither newer
or on election day. I am glad Judge lias-
call , who preceded me , has assured us that
ho will allow us to vote on election dav. I
was afraid ho wouldn't. The position taken
by the council in declaring the last election
on this question void is ridiculous. Is the
city hall to bo placed on wheels and to be
moved by the wijl of a fowl Why ,
if it is moved to Jefferson square it won't belong
long until Fumy will want to moved it to
Cummgs street. That's what he after , Kcd-
mau and his crowd , assisted by Hascall ,
hnvo downded us rierht along ; but they're on
the wrong track this time. They toll us
that if we locate the hall on Jefferson square
the Croighton and fie Swifts will build up
that part of the city. Just watch 'em build !
Oh , they're a generous lot of fellows' ' Why
do these men come out here to attend our
meetings ! AVhy do they want the city hall
located on Jefferson square ? Hecauso there's
money in it for them. Croighton is as arbi
trary as any one can be , and when ho can't
iwvo his own way ho sulks like a boy. Uut
this is the last of him. After Tuesday ho
will be dead. [ A voice. "Yes , dead. " ]
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. Ho was
Inally called down , and after a few sensible
omarks from Fnuijt ICuspnr , showing that
t was to the interest of the laboring men to
eave the city hall wheio It has already been
oca ted , the meeting adjeurncd.
