HE TRADES FOR HYPOTHETICAL LAND , Stephen A. Miilhollntul of Omnliu Under Arrest for Worklnir tlio PrnmlntMit 8wliHlle--fliren Dcnlcrn Iiniitlcuicil. A suit was comtiicnccd last evening In .lustlco Swcarlnpen's court , which promises to Involve a number of Council Bluffs men in a criminal suit. Stephen A. Mutholland , who lives in Omaha , is the doJendent , and bo Is charged with conspiracy to defraud Cnpfnln W. A. Hares ' of this city out of property valued at $ . ' ) ,000. According to tlnyos1 story , Multiolluiid came to him several months ago and represented himself as the owner of iomo property in Kentucky , which be hud paid ttt per aero for , and ho wantrd to sell or trade It for property In this state. After .some dickering a bargain wiis struck , and Hayes agreed to take the Ken tucky property off Mulboliand's ' hands. giving him In exchange some Iowa land. The papers were drawn up and recorded , and Hayes was tickling hlmsrU to thlnx what a good bargain no had made , when n change came over the spirit of his dream. Ho happened to mention the matter 'o Henry Heecroft thu other day , and was sur prised to learn that Heecroft had entered into a bargain of thosamu kind , nnd had af terwards found that he liad unloaded a lot of good property for some land that had no ox- Istencc , save in the imagination of tno man who took nlm in. Hayes decided to look tlio matter up , and was horrified to tltrtl that ho had been victimised iiituosntno manner. Ho claims to have tno evidence of the ofllclals of the Kentucky county where the land was suppobcd to bo located thai , there ia no land answering to that description in that vicin ity. A part of tno purchase price of the hind was paid uy Miilhollnntl in notes seemed by mortgages on the sumo property , and the notes am consequently not worth the paper they were written on. He accordingly had Mulliolland arrested. The other pu-tlos connected with the case and who are charged with conspiracy along with Mulliolland are thrco well known real esUln men of this city , ono of whom endorsed the notes , another drew up the papers , while the third negotiated tbo deal. Hayes says that after ho has finished Mulholland's case ho will taltc tbo other threein their regular order , and will have them arroslea on a like charge. _ Men's Men about town are coming to realize moro fully that the place to buy their neckwear , collars and culls , socks , llan- nol and white shirts and all such things ib hero , and the way to buy them is the way wo sell thorn close clown to the lowest water mark.

A sidowallc resolution was adopted provid ing for the laying of sidewalks on Pierce street as far east as Oak street , wherever sidewalks have not yet been laid. An ordinance was introduced prohibiting anyone not employed by tno company from getting on o'r off motor trains whiio in motion , nnd providing a penalty of not less than ? r > not more than $25 for fractures of the rule. It was laid over Until next mooting. .John W. Paul came in with a petition ask ing the council cither to compel John Flugeolle , the contractor , to go on with the grading on North Twentieth street or to rescind his contract. City Attorney Stewart held that under Flageollo's contract ho could either do tbo filling or not , us Ho saw lit , and that the city had no power to interfere. A motion was carried requiring the Omaha , t Council II luffs Hallway company to move its poles on avenue A to the curbstones on either side. The ordinance granting the Council Bluffs Transit company n charter was brought up for llnal consideration. Kight different ordinances were in the field , and in tno confusion that resulted from their introduc tion the ordinance came near being passed granting the company Uio right of way on Washington avenue along with the other streets , but the fact was discovered by the residents of Washington avenue who were present and a halt was called. The oral- nanco was llnally laid over until the next mooting. Alderman Groves stated that the chief of the llro department had a regular time for visiting each house , and that ho under stood there was considerable whiskey brought into active use after the chlof had in ua u his visit and gene away. A motion was made to instruct tbo chlof as to wticn ho should tnako his visits , but most of the aldermen thought It bettor to trust to the good souse of the tire chief to catch and confiscate the whisky , and the motion was lost. _ Removed to 10 Pearl street , Hart , jeweler , formerly at 637 Broadway.

The latter - tor lady refused to glvo blto up , saving that she had a largo and constantly growing bill against Mrs. Urowster for the boy'b board and storage and she did not intend to glvo him up until the bill xvas paid.

Chicago Tribune : The spiritualists have itintltatod a claim upon Alirntinm Lincoln as ono of their number which is purely sonMilionnl and not sustaiiu-d bv fuels. It may bo that Mr. Lincoln at tended seances just as many ether per sons have done who are not bolii'vnrs in the doctrines. If every person wcro to bo claimed as a believer who lias at tended sonnccs and listened to mediums , spiritualism probably could claim as large a following as almost any sect in the country. Mr. Lincoln , in his ef forts to relieve the care and strain of olllcial business , which bore moro heav ily upon him than upon any other presi dent , wns in the habit of diverting his mind and seeking relaxation in various ways. JJo was a frequent , attendant at humorous lectures , at the minstrel shows , the circus and the theater ; but It would bo as consistent to claim ho was a lecturer , a negro minstrel , circus rider or actor MS to claim ho wn.su spiritualist bccaiiho ho was present to witness the mnteriulix.ations and nmchinntlons of mediums , which ho may have rouardcd as curious and which may have served him as a relaxation , The story was started by Mrs. Colbttrn Maynard , a medium , who avers not only that ho was In the hnbit of visiting me diums , but ihut he had spiritualistic seances nt tlio white house , consulted mediums as to affairs of state , ibsmed tlio emancipation proclamation through the advice of mediums , and wont to the front to ascertain the condition of the troops after being advised by a medium to do so. Major Bundy , who is a very conservative sorvativo spiritualist , and tlio open enemy of spiritualistic charlatanry of all kinds , has given his testimony in a cautious manner. IIo says : "There can be no question but that Mr. Lincoln sat in seances , and repeatedly had mediums at the white house. 1 knowpositivoly that through his investi gations ho been me convinced of the con tinuity of life and of communication be tween the two worlds. IIo was an un usually cautious , discreet man , and while quite probable that ho received advice from the spirit world , it is also certain that ho never blindly followed it. It would have to conform to his own bettor judgment before being adopted. It is a fact , as lias boon stated , that Lincoln held bounces during the winter of 1S04- ' 0 < " > with Charles Colchester and Charles Foster , the well known mediums , and I also am able to say confidently that ho held seances with Mrs. Nettie Colburn. " Major Bundy adds that Mrs. Lincoln was it confirmed spiritualist and that after tlio death of her husband she spent many weeks with mediums. It is easy to believe thia , us it is well known that during the latter part of her life Mrs. Lincoln was not only eccentric hut in a condition of mind bordering upon insanity. But this has no bearing upon the life of the president , who wns a practical , sensible , hard-headed man , particularly In everything having any connection with religious belief or with human conditions after death. Mr. John G. Nicolay , his private bccralury , who was with him day and night in the white house , and who certainly is in a position to know whereof ho speaks , has ex ploded the spiritualists' sensation by a flat denial of the claim. IIo declares without equivocation that Mr. Lin coln was not a spiritualist and had no leaning in that direction. IIo lias never hoard before of seances at the white house and ho nf- lirms they could not have occurred with out his knowledge. Mr. Nicoluy says : "Of course , I liavo no doubt that Air. Lincoln , like a great many other men , might have had some curiosity as to spiritualism , and ho might have ut- toncod some of these seances solely out of curiosity. But ho was the last man in the world to yield to any ether judg ment than that arrived at by his own mature deliberation. IIo wns not sunor- stitious , nor did ho have any spiritual istic tendencies. I have attended spiritualistic Bounces , not because I be lieve in thorn , but because I was curious to see tl'o proceedings. They were such manifest humbugs that I usually came away disgusted. If President Lincoln over attended seances , as alleged , it was with this same feeling of curiosity. But I do not remember that oven curiosity ever impelled him to attend a pounce. IIo had moro important business on hand during these days. In any event I can say without the slighost qualifica tion that a soutico never occurred in the white houso. " Tills should bo sulllciont to sot this silly story ut rest. As Mr. Nicolay says , and us everyone believes who Know Mr. Lincoln and the motives which prompt ed him. it was his judgment In all cnsos which directed affairs and not the clap- trup of modiumpnnd to this extent Major Bundy himself has berne correct testi mony. It is of Httlo or no consequence what Mrs. Lincoln may have thought of spiritualibin. Mr. Lincoln did his own thinking .uid no man of tils time was cloaro.r from superstition. It is a little singular In any event If Mr. Lincoln's omuncipution proclamation were thu outcome - como of mcdiumlstic suggestion that the splrltuulibts should have wuitoa twenty- iilno years before making thnii * claim. If it were an authentic ono they would not have waited a year to sttcuro for themselves the prestige of such a world wide famous event. Her Head U nit Say , Jenny , will you have raul No , Tom.

Mr. O'Hrlon in a speech this evening snld that the Koilinond and Harrington manifesto was n tissue of grotesque falsehoods.

It was equally n lie to say that they offered Mr. Parncl ! tno right to veto thu homo rule bill. Thu only proposal irmno was a solace to Mr. Parnoll , to give him n consultative volco with Mr. McCarthy on the details of the future bill.

The steamer Sus sex , just arrivo.l from Japan brings word that five English naval ofllccrs on leave , met with Americans , all brothers , named Castle- ton , from Philadelphia , and together formed a plan to climb to tlio .summit of I''ujl Vanil , the sacred mountain of Japan , taking with thorn rockets and a few fireworks which thov intended to explode when tnoy reached it. Having secured two iruldcs they started on their journey from among a gtoup of astound ed natives of the village of ICulusho on tno west side of the mountain. The guides at the end of two days signified their intention to commit sulcido i'f the party did not turn back and on tlnding ih.it their throat had not the desired effect , coolly walked in front of the tourists and uac.li with a stroke of a sharp knlfo disemboweled him self before their horritlcd oyos. Both died instantly and the youncostof the Castloton brotheis , a boy of 18 , immediately pulled out a revolver and blow out his own brains. Sickened by this fearful scone , the rest of the party turned back and descended the moun tain taking with them young Castleton's body. They were forced to leave it behind after the 11 wt day , and after lieutenant Brown had repeated the burial service of the En glish church , they throw it Into n irlacior craek several hundred feet deep and loft It there.

Constans , mlnlstor of the Interior. This Is Just what the radicals want , who are preparing fur the approaching elections. Nevertheless , the ministry mnv lese murally If not numerically , but U is scon that Its par tisans hnvo relied too much upon the prestige which It has gained nbrniui. This mav turn out badly for the cabinet. The I'Tcuch do not euro to do favors for for eigners. Thu government of Charles X was overthrown bocatiso it was neci'sod ' of intriguing with foreigner. * .

Tin : , sr UK WOULD 3IAKK A STIFF. John McCoy , ox-nldorman of Milwau kee , tolls a gooil blory in tlio Chicago Times : "Fiftocn years ago four good fellows orgunijwd the Seven by Three club. It was not designed for permanency. it was , in fact , put together on hhort no tice to p'-ovido an evening's sport. Andy Ilagoinan , who dealt faro ; Charlie llan- kinson , who kept a place of his own ; a tall young man from Denver , friend of Hnnkiiison's , and myself were the char ter memhorb of the club. About 0 o'clock ono Saturday Ovoniug wo till sat down together in IJankiuson's place to enjoy a social game. At 110 : ! ! the game came to an end. " 'What shall it boi" said Ilngomau. " 'Lot's go body-ail itching , ' snidl. 'A good still' ought to DO worth consider able just now. ' " 'What ? ' demanded the young man from Denver. The boy was evidently a good deal surprised. " 'Uody-hiiatching , ' snys L " 'For' mutual protection against a possible informer I think wo had bettor organ i/.o an oath-bound society , ' said Ilagcinnn , solemnly. As ho spoke his gir/.o was fastened critically on the trungor from the west. 'So it was decided to form tlio Seven by Thrco club. I was elected president. No other ollicors were needed , finge rnail led tlio w i.y down to the Farwoll avenue street car barn , where ho libliod out a number of long hooks , used to manipulate wires , overhead ropes , etc. " 'What aio these tlungsV asked young Denver. ' "Chin hooks , ' says H.igoman. " 'What ? ' ' "Chin hooks , just the thing to lift a body with. ' " 'Now , ' said I , when each man had boon provided with a 'chin hook , ' 'Ilagoinan will go after a horse and wagon , while the balance of us wait hero in the shadow until lie gets back. ' "Ilorso and wagon i" says Denver , 'how far do you have to go after those ' " bodies' : ' 'Oh , about iivo miles into the country ; out to Calvary cemetery,1 says 1. " 'That'll too far , ' says Dunvor , 'and if you'll just wait a minute I'll ni'iko a stiff. It's lots easier than going so far to dig ono up. ' "Then ho pulled out a trun about two feet long and sat down to wait for the first man that passed. The rest of us stood the suspense as long as wo could about iivo niinutos ; but when wo heard a quick stop around the corner and saw young Denver raise the gun to a level with his eye , our nerve gave out ; wo gavoayoll together and ran for dear life. I have never tried to guy a western man since that night.
