In attending to the hundreds of ofHccscok- era , who have besieged hlmilnco his election to congress Judge Heed has so systomatlied bis business as to bo able to dispose of all comers in the shortest possible tlmo. Yes terday afternoon a clergyman of this city was called upon to perform his flrst inarrlago ceremony and was considerably In doubt as to what amount of rod tape was necessary to bo compiled wth ) before pronouncing the fateful words. In hit dilemma ho hastened to the oflii'o of the congressman in search of Information , "Excuse me , Judge , but when n man wants to Ret married , what are his rcqutremoutst" queried the expounder of the holy writ. The M. O. was busy nt the time , but ho looked hit questioner squarely la tbo eye as Uo readily answered ; "Primarily , a girl * secondarily , a license. " The preacher timidly inquired if that was all. "What taoro would u reasonable man wantl" demanded the local luminary. Tbo parson "guested that ought to bo enough , " and nattily departed to make bis initial pllco. IN AND ABOUT THE BLUFFS , An Elootrlo Motor OOlolal Talka of the Company's Intentions , A BUDGE SELLER GOES TO JAIL. The Ilolno Ilpollnl An Ex-SMoon- Keeper "Wants to Ho Lot Alone The Attorneys " \Vlio nrc After the Liquor Dealers. Electric Motor Rntrn nnd Extensions. The agitation of n C cent rate on morning and evening worldngmcn's trains on the oluctrio motor line still continues , but the adoption of such a rate is not forthcoming , and the prospects are not particularly brill iant Mr. J. T. Stewart , president of the com pan v , was yesterday Interviewed regardIng - Ing the matter , and hm statement of the situation Is not encouraging. Said ho : "Thero are n number of us who would llko to have the clan adopted if wo could bo sure how it would alToot us. The national inter state commission might dccitlo the matter in such n way that It would greatly Injure us , 'nnd wo must bo assured that our interests will not suffer. There is no money to bo made , that is , but very little , on n straight G cent rato. If wo wcro to operate the line on such n basis no dividends would bo ao- clnrcd , and there would bo nothing with which to crcuto a sinking fund. I don't say that the company would actually lose money , but the line would not pay. So , If the inter state commission insisted on a straight 5-ccut rate , because wo maOo that rate to accommodate the worklng- mnn , wo would bo in an unpleasant and un profitable situation , nnd we must bo careful that wo do not pot there. Possibly the com mission would not interfere with us , but that la what we have to lind out. Wo are really nothing lint n street car coinianystilt | wo op erate between two states. The matter is In the hands'of our attorneys , anil wo shall rely - ly upon their opinion in the matter. Wo are as anxious n < > any ono to know how It is to terminate , as wo want to tell the public as soon as possible that wo will make iho desired - sired rate , or that it will bo absolutely im possible for us ( o do so. "Our paying trnlus now are those running during the evening. If wo should adopt the live-cent rate it would bo on very early trains , and for a half or three-quarters of an hours between G and 7 o'clock In the even ing. It very easy , of course , for any nnd every ono to point out the advisability of the move , but wo must look after our own in to rests. "Extensions ! Well , we will build as fast a } wo can , but it begins to look as If wo had about as much laid out for this season as wo could anndlo. Wo expected to have the Upper Broadway and Falrmount park lines completed before now , but the Johnstown disaster delayed us greatly. Wo received word from there , ton days after the flood , that our material would bo shipped in ten days more , but it has not arrived , and there is no telling when it will get hero. Wo can lav the rails , but the line can not be op erated until the curves and switches are in place. Yes , that little difficulty on Pierce may bo the means of keeping us oft th.it street. It Is not necessary for us to run over that street , as wo cm ; double track the Upper Broadway line without Inconvenience , and it would accommodate all of our patrons nearly as well. About all there is to it , it would give our Onmhr. passengers a little longer ride for their money. The only trouble secmo to bo that the other company , to which a franchise was granted some weeks ago , promised to pay for u right of way along there , and the property owners want us to come down qulto Handsomely. This we will not do. Sooner than contest the matter and make a light , wo will rrmain on Broadway. , This other company 1 I don't believe it will over amount to much. In my opinion , the whole thing was simply a move on the part of a few real estate dealers and property owners in the southern and western part of the city to induce us to extend our line through those localities at once for the pur- nose of heading off imaginary competition. This would aid them vcr.y materially in sell ing lots in outlying additions. As far as the Union Pacillo wagon bridge is concerned , I have no apprehensions of its being leased tea a rival company. It is quito probable that it will bo utilized some tlmo for electric motor purposes , and it would pcrnaps bo better to use it in connection with a Ninth avenue * line than to run up across the botton to the other bridge. "In view of what has transpired , however , it seems to mo that the Union Pacific com pany might bo expected to give us the first choice of It. wo took their street car line here oft their hands , when it was costing them from $5,000 to J15.000 a year to run it , and it would bo nolning more than the proper thing for them to corno to us when they have an offer for the bridge , and see if .wo are willing to do any hotter. It might come in very nicely , now that the lines on the other side are extended all over the city. "Wo hud intended to build a line down Sixth a Venn o thin year , from Maine to Six teenth street , thence up the transfer street car line to the motor track on Avenue A. If our material gets along wo may yet be able to tlnish it. Tills calls for the equipment of the Pearl and Mam struct line with electric cars , which will bo done this ttonson. The report of a proposed line up Main street , from the Junction to Broadway , is without foundation , as the street Is too narrow and teams loading and unloading at the business houses would causa n blockade. The line will be double tracked down Pearl and Mam streets with a loop line around Sixth avcnuo and Sixteenth street No , wo can't build to Mannw.i this year. After wo get our line extended around the city we will prooably tulto a shSot down to the lake , but not at present. Wo have as much on hand as wo can attend to for the season , and it will keep ua busy to get our proposed lines all in shape. City steam laundry , 31 Main , tel. 141. Money loaned at L. B.

JnJIoil for Jitrlcliic Whiskey. The case of Charles Allen , charged with keeping liquor for sale contrary to law , was tried yesterday In 'Squiro Hendrlcks' court before a jury. The information was filed before 'Squlro Barnett , but the defendant took a change of venue. A. S. HazoUon , Esq. , appeared for the prosecution , and Frame Trimble looked after the defense. Trimble moved to dismiss the case on the ground that the information was not explicit enough regarding the kind and quantify of liquor kept by the defendant , but the court overruled It. Several witnesses were exam ined on both slues * The Jury was out but a short tiuio when a verdict of guilty was re turned , and the defendant was sentenced to fifteen days In the county Jail. This is the first case tried on this charge in some time , but it is understood that the temperance al liance will shortly fllo a number of similar Informations and prosecute other cases of a similar nature iu the justice courts. - For sale Ono Our-Scott ten-horse portable engine ; in good repair.

A most pleasing recital was given ut the Presbyterian church last evening to tbo representatives of the press nnd a few friends , by Prof. Josot Heine , tho'world re nowned violin virtuoso , Mme. Heine , the ao oompllshod pianUt , aud Miss Evelyn Heine , tbo charming young vocalist. The pro gramme was impromptu , nnd consisted of a number of selections that were rendered for tbo purpose of demonstrating the ability of the artists. Notwithstanding the fact that it was such a quiet ana altogether impromptu affair , an hour and a half was passed most enjoyably listening to the delightful muslo rendered by this most talented trio. Prof. Hulno not only showed 1m mastership of the violin , but evoked such music from n common penny whlstlo as to win a most deserved encore , to which ho kindly responded , 'His rapid triple tonguelng H seldom excelled. Ho also proved himself a clover Improvisnrlo , playing readily several pretty strains from n cue of thrco notes , The piano playing of Mme , Heine was highly artistic , and she received great ap plause. Ilor execution Is brilliant and her instrumentation marvelous. She plays with ft dinh that cnn not fall to bo appreciated. Miss Evelyn Ilolno. while suffering from n sovcro cold , showed to great advantage the range of which her excellent voice Is capa ble. She gave several selections , but the old Scotch melody , "Coming Thro' the Hyo , " was the ono In which her perfectly modulated volco gave the most pleasing effects. It Is under perfect control , ns clear and strong as could bo desired. This family of musical artists will give a concert In the Presbyterian church Thursday evening under the auspices of the young ladles of the church.

The opinion expressed by a member of the bar that the prohibitionists were moving to drop Attorney Sims In favor of Attorney Haz- elton , seems to have been caused by the fact that Attorney Hazclton has been looking after some saloon cases in the justice courts. Thcso cases are entirely different from these In which Attorney Sims Is Interested. The latter has paid no attention to the jus tice court cases. Attorney Hazclton , In taking up some of these justice cases , is not Interfering with the work being clone by Attorney tornoy Sims , but is working In harmony with him. The prohibitionists deny any in tention of doing away with Sims , but say they employ Hazclton to look after .another line of cases entirely. Have your old furniture upholstered , good as new. R.

Uo Thinks the Witches Crawl up His Pants Insane nt times , so violent as to nec essitate confinement in a cage. Such is the terrible fnto of Samuel Arm strong1 , who is eighty-two , and a former prominent resident of this city , says a Cincinnati dispatch to the St. Louis Republic. For years ho bos been in close retirement at Wapello.la.jtwhoro relatives reside , and though possessed of an estate valued at $260,000 , the uf- llictod man has derived little or no ben efit therefrom , if the stories of his re latives and friends bo true. Strangers have boon , under the guibo of law and othorwis3 , giyon control of the prop erty. erty.Armstrong Armstrong many years ago was a prominent builder. Among his invest ments was ono in sixty-six acres of land in the northern portion of Ayondalo. Ho owns property in Greenville , O. , worth $100,000 , and valuable property in Columbia , this county. About twen ty years ago Armstrong was driving o-waya man who was stealing fruit from the Avondale place when the follow picked up a largo stone and , hurling it him , struck him with great force on the head. He was never himself acain. JlVmongliis delusions isa firm belief in witches. Ho imagines these enter his room through the keyholes and cracks in the doors and ho has had the apertures all stopped up. Ho also wears straps around his ankles to keep the witches from crawling up his trousers. While in this condition of mind ho foil into the hands of ono Fred Rehling of Greenville , Ohio. Ho was in duced by Rohling to convey to him his valuable Avondale property. Rohling. it is said , did not. pay him a cent for the property. After un extended litigation the conveyance was iotaside. Armstrong's affairs then came into the control of contain lawyers of this city. Although Armstrong was a resident of this city and had never re sided in Greenville. A member of a well-known legal firm of this city made application to the probate court of Darko county for the appointment of a guardian for the insane man , and per mission was asked to sell his Avondale property. The court appointed James Rcosu Greenville blacksmithguardian. The court also decreed the sale of the Avondale property. Under this decree the property was sold about a year ago to a syndicate headed by Robert Mitchell , for $100,109. Armstrong was never married. His sister's children , who are his heirs , live at Wapollo , la. They have begun in quiries into the administration of the estate. A SERVICEABLE AUGER , HOLE. How the Novfspnprra Oat Ilrports or the Ijittlu Falls Kxeoutloii. The newspapers of Minneapolis are a little ahead of the Hon. Jay Smith , the author of the now law respecting the hanging of criminals , says a Minneapo lis dispatch to the St. Louis Republic. Ho was shocked at the stories that were published just before and ut the time of the hanging of the Barrett brothers in this city. The legislature using then in session and Mr , Smith a member from Minneapolis , ho framed a law that passed , forbidding newspapers to pub lish more than bare announcements of hangings. The condemned man , under the now law , is permitted to name three wit nesses , who with the sheriff , deputy sheriff , the coroner and a doctor , con stitute the spectators at any legal hang ing. Reporters are strictly barred , and the execution must occur between midnight nnd sunribo on the day named by the governor. The law was put to a practical test at l:45.o'clock : this morning , when Albert BulDW was lumped by Sheriff Rasicott , of Little Falls , for the murder of Frame Kick , of Royalton , ouo day last Octo ber. "Only a bare , announcement , " according to the exact words of the law , was expected , hut the buro announcement filled from a two to three columns of the city papers.
