A number of citizens in the vicinity of Tenth avenue and Fourth compla.n that there \vas a drunken row , general disturbance and free-for-all light in that neighborhood Satur day night , lasting from shortly before mid night until I'JilHI , and that no policeman could be found in that locality to put u stop to it.

The whole of the regular panel of petit Jurors was ordered discharged for ibis term. Theodore Itrown was arrested last evening for drunkenness , disturbing the peace and using profane language. After beini ; locked up he proceeded to smash out the windows in the Jail and threatened to clean out the Jail unless some of the other prisoners gave up a bunk for his use. lie demanded to lie put in the steel cell with Davis , declaring that cell to be his private and reserved property. The jailor found it necessary to sit on liim for a while to get him quieted down , and after the operation ho was as meek as a lamb.

" Sam Davis , the colored man arrested yes terday for the attempted murder of Albert Smith , was handcuffed last evening and taken to the residence of John Smith on Nortn First street , whcro the wounded man is being cared for. As soon as he was taken into the room whuroSmith was the hitter immediately idea- tilled him as the man who did the cutting , al though Davis was dressed in different clothes from tlioso ho won ) at the time of the cutting. The police- have Unit suit at the station. It is covered with blood and was found in his room. County Attorney Organ went along to witness the identification. Davis was locked up in the steel cell last night and will be taken to the county Jail today. In regard to the stabbing affray at Illg Lake on Sunday , Dan Ferguson , who lias for three years been the special park policeman , says that ho viewed the row from a distance of about three hundred feet. Ho did not deem it his duty to go off the park land , ills authority dying mi reaching that limit. Ho Miys the crowd was gathered in front of Wallgren's place , and the row was evidently there , and not at Pralor's , which is about n hundred yards distant. Smith , who was Blabbed , was lying about thirty feet from Wallgren's place when the row ended and the doctors were sent for. Ferguson claims that nn injustice was donu to lite reputation of the I'ruler place by locating the stabbing near it. Allon'N New Map of Council ltliitrn.

ALL ABOUT COUNCIL BLUFFS , The Incoming Burlington Flyer Ditched Near Island Park , JUDGE DEEMER SERIOUSLY INJURED , The Court llulc.s Against Open Harbor Hhops on Sunday Pets ol' tliu Police THoky Sum Ar- renteilotcH. . What mny bo termed n remarkably fortunate - nato accident , In vlow of all the circum stances was the ono that occurred at Q : ' ) o'clock yesterday morning on the liiirllngton , about three miles southeast of the UluiTs. The Incoming No. fi , ono of the "Q" fast trains Unit makes the run from Chicago In fifteen hours , was ditched a mile nnd n half this side of Island Park , by the spreading of the rails , nnd nil the curs , Including a baggage - gage car , smoker and chair car , were thrown down the bank , which at that point Is about eight feet high. There were about fifteen passengers on the train at the time and they had n very startling experience , but very fortunately no 0110 wns killed nnd no ono was seriously injured , with the exception of Judge Deemer , who sustained a bad cut on his log , which bled so much before the physicians ar rived that lie was qulto weak from the loss of blood. The place where the accident occurred is about half a mile soul h of what is known as the Hod bridge. The train e.imo through Island Park station at ! I:1S : and was reported on time. The speed through was about forty miles an hour , but the train slowed uti to about twenty miles mi hour shortly before reaching the scene of the wreck , on account of n sharp curve. The ne- cid 'iit occurred just after they struck the straight track after going around the curve. The brakes were set all around the curve , and Engineer Pat Sweeney had Just released the air when the accident occurred. Fire man Charles F. Smith states Unit the rear truck of the tender was the first to leave the track. The engineer instantly applied the air again , ami the train was brought to a standstill within its own length. The three cars took n Jump down the embankment , turned over on their sides unit slid about thirty feet through the mud , landing in about a foot of water. They left the track on the inside of the curve. The engine did not go down the bank and would probably have remained on the track had not the cars pulled it olT. The only coupling broken was the ono between the tender ami the baggage car , and the three cars lay on the ground all coupled together. When Fireman Smith saw the tender leave the raiN he started to Jump , but the Jerkingof the train threw him against the gate , where lie was caught by tlie leg. By the time lie extricated himself the cars were going down the bank on that side and lie slid for the other side of the call. It was n most fortunate thing for htm that he was unable to Jump as he tried to do , or lie would have been buried under the smoker. As it was neither ho nor the engin eer were injured at all. The scene in the chair ear after the wreck beggars description. Grips , bundles , um brellas and passengers were pilled together in the wildest confusion. Through the broken windows on the lower side of the car the water was pouring , and there was a wild scramble to reach the outer air. The only means of egress was through the door , and the passengers began to climb along the seats. It was while getting out in this man ner that Judge Decnier received his injury , lie stopped upou one of the windows and was precipitated into the water and mud beneath. The broken glass cut a frightful semi-circular gash on the inside of his right leg Just below the knee , narrowly missing the artery. A largo vein was severed and the blood spurted in a largo stream. Ho was taken out and a lot of bandages were hastily improvised , but the How of blood was not stopped until Dr. Macrae arrived and sewed up thcicut. All of the oilier passengers got out without addi tional injury , Word was at once sent to thu yard otllcc , and a switch engine and coach were sent down to bring the passengers to the city. The following is a list of TIII : ix.iuiii : < t. Jrwii : II. E.

Miss HANNAH A\i > iif : < nN , a young Swede girl from Ualesbnrg , 111. , to Salt Lake City , right log cut , forehead contused ami bruises on lower limbs. As nearly as can bo ascertained a heavy engine and a weak track were the causes of the accident. The engine , No. Hi1 ' , is 0110 of the heaviest mogul machines on the road , weighing sixty-live tons The train from Crcston to Pacillc Junction is very heavy , generally consisting of ten or twelve coaches , sleepers , baggage , express and mail ears , and the ordinary passenger engines cannot make time. with it. For this reason it it pulled by a mogul. At Pacillc Junction a part of the train Is cut olT anil sent across to Plattsmouth and up to Omaha , mid tne balance is pulled to the Bluffs. There arc generally fuw passengers who como tliis way , as all the through travel crosses at Plattsmouth. Conductor Goldtliwaite , who had charge of of the train , went through a window with both feet , but was not injured. All of the in jured , with the exception of Judge Deemer , were taken to the Ogden hotel , wlioro they were attended bv the company surgeon , Dr. Macrae. Judge Deemerwas taken to Omaha , placed in a Pullman , and sent by way of Plattsmouth to his homo at Ked Oak ) leaving atI o'clock. The track was not cleared until last even ing. The outgoing Burlington trains went over the Wuuii-h to Mnlvcrn , where they again struck their own line. The total dam age will not exceed & .VX ) . The cars were mjt injured in the mud , the only damage being n few broken windows , scratched paint and dirt. It is a wonder how all of the passen gers , escaped alive. United States Marshal Miller was thrown from his seat and slid half the length of the car. lie did not know that Ills hip was bruised until ho reached the city , when it ucgun to pain him. Hud the train been running nt n high rate of speed several would undoubtedly have been killed. The prompt net Ion of Engineer rSweenoy in stopping the train cannot bo"oo highly com mended.

Sam Davis , alias "Tricky Sam , " the col ored man who Is alleged to bo the Individual who carved Albert Smith so terribly at Big lake Sunday evening , was placed under ar rest yesterday morning by Deputy Marshal Fowler. Ho wits locked up In the city Jail , whuro he now Is , bat no charge will bo pre ferred against him until It is ascertained how severely Smith Is injured and what the result of his Injuries will bo. Davis has been iden- tlllcd by fully a dozen person ns the man who struck Smith with knuckles , but there is a difference of opinion as to whether ho Is t bo one who did the carving , as was stated in these column ! ! yesterday , Smith started to run when Davis draw lils nuor. and pursued him. The stabbing was done several yards from where the row began and owing to the crowd several of the parties who saw the first part of It did not see the stabbing. One of the musicians who was playing for thu dance at the Pralor place saw the whole affray und described Davis minutely before he saw him at the stutlou , oven tftutiug mat bo bud lost a from tooth that showed whenever ho opened tils mouth. This had not been noticed by the officers , but another examination showed that the tooth wna missing. Smith Is gpttlnif nlono even better than was expected. Ho slept for several hours yester day morning nfter the effects of the chloro form wore nwny , and rested qulto easily. A BKI : reporter saw him yesterday afternoon , nnd ho stated that ho did not suffer nny pain. I to could not even feel the wound cxeep when ho either moved In bed or coughed or drew n long breath , when It would "catch" n little. Ho was anxious to have the prisoner brought up so tnat ho could Identify him , which ho was positive that ho could do , but the doctor thought Unit It would ex- eito him unnecessarily , nnd advised that this bo postponed until Inter. Smith stilted positively that the man who struck him on the back of the head was the ono who cut him witli the razor a few moments later. Drs. Cook nnd Thomas state that It is Im possible to tell what the result will bo. The wound is not necessarily fatal , but It cannot bo told for some days how It will turn. Deputy Marshal Fowler deserves credit fern n very clever arrest. Ho did not know that Davis had been In the city lately , but saw him yesterday morning as ho was passing down Broadway. The officer knew that Davis' reputation was very shady. and that ho was been connected by report with several carv ing matches , and was what is generally known us a "bail nigger. " When Davis saw the officer ho pulled his hut down over his face and slipped Into Mike Kildaro's saloon out of sight. The officer immediately crossed the street and called him outside. "You will have to go up with me , Sam , " said the ofllcer. "Hones' ter God , I didn't do dut cuttin' , " was the reply. "I didn't sayyou did , " said the ofllcer , "but you will have to go along , Just the same. " And ho did. Davis Is second cook on n Union Pacific dinIng - Ing ear and was to have gene out yesterday morning. Ho is the "solid man' ' of a colored courtesan known a.s "Old Julio , ' ' the woman who struck Smith with n brick after ho was stabbed.

The attention of the crowds of people trav el intr on the Omaha it Council Bluffs motor line lias been attracted for some time past by the unique nnd showy ofllee building the company is erecting at the car stables. But those who have admired the outside have been much more highly ploa-cd with the in terior when they have inspected it. The dec orative work is being done by Gillette & Freeman in the new plastic relief which they are introducing , the samples of which in the show windows of their establishment at US Pearl street have attracted so much atten tion. The work is done on the naked walls in a special plaster that becomes as hard as stone and lasts as long as the wall itself. It is a perfect imitation of linerustn wnlton , without its and machine-like sameness - ap pearance. The plaster is put on the wall like an ordinary putty coat and the figures and designs are wrought while it is in n plastic condition. When finished it becomes as hard as stone and can be tinted and retiutcd to give any effect desired. The room referred to is a remarkable and original piece of art work done wholly in bronzes. The panel of the ceiling is an antique bronze effect hammered and wrinkled , and a piece of art work worth going miles to see. The crinkles mid corrugations nro in heavy relief. The cove is made of soft blended bronzes separated from the panel by a rope moulding in terra cotta and gold. The freizo is in three shades of bronze , copper , lire and orange. The designs are combed out in the material and the elevations tipped with the igliter brouzo and it looks like the sun wxs billing on som e old Romanesque bronze. The walls are in two shades of bronze , cop per and gold , and the figures are concentric geometric circles. The lines are carved pic ture mouldings in terra cotta and gold. The work is unquestionably the finest little bit of decorating over done in the city , and will give the young artists who did it a still higher standing. Three hundred pnckiigcs of bronze were used in the work. If vou wish to sell your property call on the Judcl & Wells Co. , C. B. Judd president , 000 Broadway.

Now York AVholosulo Liquor Dealers Trying to Down It. Jn\v Youif , Juno 10. Tlio wholesale liquor dealers of Now York and vicinity are moving ngainst tlio whisky trust nnd lire determined to down it if possible. Today a meeting was held in this city to perfect preliminary plans to light the trust. About forty wholesalers came together , including A. & H. Meyers of Philadelphia , Philip rCochler of Newark , M. Bird of Chicago nnd James Walsh of Cincinnati. Tlio objection of the wholesale men is directed against certificates Issued by tlio trust , AVIicn the trust secured control of all the distilleries they ad vanced prices 7 cents a gallon all around , but issued u rebate certificate of fi cents a gallon , payable six months from date of issue , pro vided the party to whom such certificate was issued bought goods exclusively of the trust. By tliis scheme the trust held about $1,500,000 of money belonging to the wholesale men , upon which they do not pay n cent of inter est. Tliis is what tlio wholesalers object to. After n lengthy talk , in which some wholesalers advocated building dis tilleries to knock out the trust if the latter proved too refractory , n resolution was adopted providing that a committee of ten leading wholesalers bo appointed to confer with the trust to see if the 5 per cent rebate would bo withdrawn and otherwise look nfter the interest of the trade. The sentiment de veloped was decidedly hostile to the trust. o A Saloon on WlicelH. MIM/VIMX , N. J. , Juno 10.
