A Switchman Injured by n Fall Frnni n Train , \ New lievco Combi nation Minor Mention null Personals. The SlndcJ Closed. The list of business failures , which has been lengthening at such an alarming rate In this city , wns Increased yesterday afternoon nt 7 o'clock when Sheriff Mclll , accompanied by his deputy , Jack Cuslck , entered tbo Model clothing house , located nt the corner of Broadway nnd Scott street , and de manded the keys from the proprietor of tbo establishment , Mr. L. H. Mossier. IIo prefaced bis demand by show ing two writs of attachment , which hnd been Issued in the district court , ono by Bradt , Shlpmun&Co. for ? filH.74 and the other by Frankonthnl , Frendcntbnl & Co. forl,074.lV > . Both of the attaching creditors are New York firms. The keys were delivered Into the bunds of the sheriff nuu the place was closed tip. When questioned aVout the affair Mr. Mossier was very much excited. "H is all a mistake,11 said ho , "Wo have been trying for several weeks to got some money , but wo couldn't do it , nnd Its all a mistake , anu that's all I know about it. " Notwithstanding Mr. Mover's vehement protestations some of his friends are unkind enough to hint that the move was not alto gether unexpected on his part. Mr. Mossier had no Interest in the stock of fixtures , al though ho has to all appearances been the lord high executioner of the concern. Ho failed in the same way three or four years ago , and diu not start In again for nbnut eighteen months' . When nt last ho resumed business tbc property was all in the name of his brother , who lives in Missouri. A quiet rumor got afloat to the effect that It wns the intention of Mr. Mossier to go out of tno business and take his stuff to Missouri , and it was this rumor that led to the attachment. The grounds , as alleged In the writ of attach ment , were the non-residence of the owner and the fact thnt the proprietor wns about to take the goods out of the state for the pur pose of duf rauding the creditors. When the sheriff took possession the money drawer wns empty , a fact which gave color to the rumor th'nt something uncommon had been nbout to take place , But whatever that something was , it failed to materialize. . Mr. Mossier stated to a Bui : reporter last ovenlngthnt the firm owed the money claimed by the attaching creditors , but that it was not yet duo , and ho had not the slightest Idea wny ho was closed up. Ho also stated that ho had telephoned his brother , who o\vns the stock , for instructions. Chaul Moo Grau at Davis' drug store.

For the past few months the lovco problem hns been of sufliclent importance to attract general attention In Council Bluffs , and the question of whether it was advisable to have tbo old levee widened and strengthened or to Invest $25,000 or $ . ' ! 0,000 in n now bank has been thoroughly discussed in all directions. But a new phase of the problem has been presented to the public within the past twenty-four hours that completely over shadows all other features. It Is Important and imperatively demands solution. When the old lovco wns built three years ago the city council passed n resolution di recting the assessment of a 2 mill tax to pay for the work nnd certified It up to the county auditor as a special tax upon property bone- fitted by the protection the bank afforded. The tax was levied upon the consent of the property owners and the agreement of tbo majority of them to walvo any nnd all ques tions ns to its loenlltv. It was in fact guar anteed largely by T. J. Evans , George F. "Wright and other property owners who bail largo interests to bo protected , It now transpires that the tax levy was entirely too small to cover the costs of the work. It has about ail been collected , last year's collections only amounting to about 250 , and the whole amount realized wns only about § 2,500. , Warrants for nearly double this sum were Issued against this fund , nnd at the present time there is duo and unpaid something over $ 'J,100 worth of these warrants , and Interest for thrco years , which brings the entire amount up to nearly $ i,500. , The quandary the council finds Itself In now is how to provide for the payment ot these warrants , Sluco there hns been so much squabbling over the matter anil so many Injunctions threatened It is very likely that the property owners , or many of them at least , will resist uny attempt to tax them further for the pay ment , of this old debt. It is an ugly problem whichever way it is 'looked nt and will give , the aldermen ti good deal of concern before nn avenue of eacapo is discovered. It is Intimated thnt the first thing that will bo inquired into is the guarantee of the gen tlemen named , nnd if they will agree to make good tholr promises at this late uay it will relieve tlio aldormcn of a good deal of uncasi- ness. If they refuse to do this , which Is not at all Improbable , in view of the fact that tliov have understood that the debt has been : entirely liquidated , the council will bo com pelled to make n now special levy upon Clio property. Wlicn this is done it is not nt all improbable that some Injunctions will bo asked for. The discovery that these warrants were unpaid was not maito until yesterday when City Treasurer Kinuchnn asked Chairman Wood of the finance committcu what should be done with the unpaid warrants , imparting the information nt the same time that the special tax hnd been exhausted nnd $1.100 worth of warrants were still outstanding in the hands of local capitalists who did not know the lost penny had been paid out of the fund provided. Thcro Is no question about the warrants hclug collcctacle , but the man ner of providing the fund is a serious obstacle in the way , The Council Bluffs I'alnt and Oil Co. has ODoned up under supervision of assignee.

Hobb is the name of a young man who was arrested yesterday morning by Officer Bcswlck. Although barely out of his teens , ho has achieved a reputation for gen eral toughness which mighttwell bo envied by many who have been in the business much longer. He was a resident of this city for several years past until last summer , and was a well known Ilguro around the gambling bouses nnil other places of ques tionable repute. After ho left ho drifted ; about until ho flnully turned up nt Lincoln Neb. , and begun operations ngnln. It was not long before ho got into trouble there nnd found himself in tbo county Jail on n charge of burglary. Ho stayed iheroquletly for n time , but ono morning when the jailer wuko up ho found his bird had flown , where ho bad gone was for a time roa mystery , but ho wns nt last traced to Havolock , a small place near Lincoln , nnd wns followed by the chief of police nnd an offlcor. The officers tied their borso and searched for their man , but the only trnco they could ilnd of him was when i they returned for their horse nnd learned ! thnt Hobb had been there and had taken him aWuy In tholr absence. Knowing thnt Council Bluffs was Hob b's homo , the Lincoln authorities surmised that bo might come hero next , nnd they noti fied Chief. Cnry of his escape nnd illy fered a reward for his recovery. The Bluffs police had n few scores of their own to settle with Hobb , ho having been Im plicated lu a robbery hero several months ago , and they were very willing to be on the lookout. Officer Bcswlck got on his track and finally overhauled him yesterday morn ing at Schemer's saloon on Lower Uroadwny. Af tor an affectionate greeting bad been ex changed between the captive and his old nc- qnnlntancc , the city marshal , ho wns taken before Jus tlco 1'ntton nnil committed to the county Jnll , where ho will ronuln until the Lincoln authorities como after him.

A special meeting of the board of education was held last night for the purpose ) of audit ing and paying a largo number of bills and transacting a lot of routine business that has nei-n accumulating for a long time. The pres ident ana nil the members were present. Chairman Hunter of the finance committee reported n resolution providing for the Issu ance of * I5X)0 ( worth of school bonds voted nt the regular election lu 1SSO to pay for now school buildings. The bonds nro to run ten years nnd draw 0 per cent Interest , which Is to be made payable scml-nnnually at the banking house of Kountzn Bros , in Now York. The resolu tion was adopted and the secretary nnd treas urer wore Instructed to sign the bonds and date them January 1 , 1891. The claim of Architect S. E , Maxon for school building plans that were accepted and subsequently rejected , was reported by a special committee to whom it hnd been re ferred nt n previous meeting , with the rco oiiiincudation that ho bo allowed $300 in full settlement. The report was adopted by the board and accepted by Maxon , nnd the sec retary wns instructed to draw on order for ho amount. Chairman Huntca of the finance conimlttco recommended that the salary of Prof. Wynmn bo Increased to tl'-'O per month for the ro- tnnimlcr of the year. The proposition struck the other members favorably und the ralso was ordercu. The teachers' nnd Janitor's ' pay roll problem wns called up again and solved by the board ordering the superintendent , chairman of tbo finance committee nnd the secretary to ex amine and O. K. the lists without referring them to the board , anil if the officers desig nated are unable to net , tbo remaining mem bers of the finance committee were em powered to look after the matter , thus pre venting any delay In the payment of tbo salaries.

Ho requires them to give oral explanations ot such problems as the Behrlngsca controversy , the Associated press and what it is ; the ghost dances and the In dian problem , and similar things that are the topics of the times , The report apparently pleased the board nnil they approved by reso lution the methods of practical instruction as outlined. Bills to the amount of nearly $ ' 2r > 00 wore read nnd ordered paid , and when this work was finished the board adjourned. J. C.

A Disorderly Meeting. PAIIIS , Jan , 10. The effort mndo tonlcht to hold the revisionists meeting In Gobelin's theater ended in a complete failure. The usscinblngo was turbulent throughout , owing to the proienco of n crowd of Boulangists , who conducted themselves In u most dis orderly manner , ( ioblot , on rising to speak , was assailed with Insulting vociferations und flnully quitted the theater.

I ) , , ( $100,000) , . M the close of tbo morning hour the vlco president laid before the sennto as unfinished business the election bill nnd Mr. Pusco argued ngalnst It. Mr. Pasco soon yielded to Mr. Hoar , who bad read nn article from the Anglo Saxon Churchman of Little Hock , speaking of election methods , etc. Mr. Jones of Arkansas stated that the writuof the article was not a southern man , Ho was a truthful , well meaning man , but had not been on the ground long enough to understand tlio matter , and his opinion was worth no moro than that of the senator from Massachusetts. Mr. Berry of Arkansns took part In the discussion , speaking of Senator Hoar us a man who passed his life stirring upstrlfo among hlsiielghboi-s , the danger of wlilch ho never shared himself. After this diversion , which occupied about nn hour , Mr. 1'asco concluded his speech , glvlnc notice of nn amendment to punish bribery by payment of money or by promise of procuring employment to voters and to punish the use of pay envelopes In tended to influence workmen , Ho yielded fo Mr. Hoar , who nho gave notlco of nn amendment , the effect being to give to the Judge only power to determine whether federal supervision of elections Is necessary nnd to give to thn accounting ofllccr of the treasury the power to audit ac counts of supervisors. The fortilleations bill was reported back with amendments. During the Intermission Mr. Pasco again , nt 0:10 : , yielded to Mr. AVolcott , who moved nn adjournment. Mr. Frye demanded the yeas nnd nays wliieh resulted yeas 27 , nays y-3 Mossi-s. Stewart und "Woleott being the only republi cans voting uve. Mr. Pnsco then concluded his speech. Mr. Hampton snoko against the bill and Mr. DIxon in Its favor. Mr. Iteagan spoke against the bill and con cluded by declaring , with strong feeling , that dear as hfo was to him lie would , as God wus bis judge , if ho could snvo the Amer ican people from the pending measure by giving up his life , surrender it ns freely as bo over performed any act lu his life. At the close of Mr. Kcagnn's speech n mo tion wns made by Mr. Hoar to lay Mr. But ler's amendment ( that supervisors , canvass ers and nil elections ofllccrs shall bo regarded as ministerial and not Judicial ofllccrs ) on the table , und it was agreed to- yeas ! 50 , nays 20. The amendment offered by Mr. Faulkner , proposing n substitute for section 14 and to provide for tbo appointment by the court of a board of three persons In each congressional district to bo known as the United States board of canvassers , was taken up. Mr. Fnulkncr advocated tbd amendment and condemned the action of the republi can senators in stifling discussion by mov ing to lay the amendment on the table. In the course of n colloduy between Messrs. Faulkner , Gray nnd Spooncr. the latter styled , as nn Illustration of what the bill meant , that if ho had a boil on the back of his nock ho would not think it necessary to place a poultice over hls'wholo ' back. The illustration was taken advantage of by Mr. Faulkner , who saw In It nn admission that the bill was a partisan and sectional measure to bo putlu force only in ono part of the country. 1 a. in. Faulkner is still nbdresslug the senate and seems good fpr several hours , and it Is pretty evident that the object on the democratic sldo is to occupy tlmu. There are not moro than a dozen senators on each sldo of the chamber , but there are largo reserves In the cloak rooms ready to meet any phase of the question that may present itself. The galleries are now nearly empty , but the pros pect Is that the session "will1 continue through the watches of the night and perhaps all day tomorrow. Mr. Pasco a short tlmo ago directed the at tention of the chair to the absence of a quo rum , and as the call is being made senators como into the chamber and prove that there are more present than is needed to constitute a quorum. Mr. Faulunor continued speaking until 1:20 , when the absence of n quorum was brought to the attention of the chair by Mr. Sanders. A call of the roll showed only tbirty-slx senators present , only five of that n umber being democrats. A motion was made by Mr , Hoar to compel the attendance of ab sentees , but Mr. Harris made the point of order that the first motion under the rules was to direct the sergcant- at-arms to request the attendance of absent senators. The presiding ofticor ( "NVashburn ) sus tained the Doint of order , und Mr. Hoar changed the motion accordingly. The mo tion was ngrecd to and a IISL of the absentees was furnished to the sergeant-nt-arms. The only democrats present were Messrs. Cock- rill , Faulkner. Gorman , Harris and Pasco. Before the list hud been handed to the scrgeant-nt-arms ' flvo moro senators , all re publicans' , hud answered , making tbo whole number present 41 , or four loss than a quo rum. Up to U o'clock no senator presented himself In compliance with the request and it looked as if u quorum might not bo secured. House. WASHINGTON , Jan. 10.
