WHAT IS THOUGHT TO BE THE RIGHT LIMIT Sir Mllcn mi Hour on Traveled .Streets I'ait ( Knuugli for Ordinary I'urposJinny Complnlnt * of Itrckl * * * Humilng Are Heard. The ordinance which was presented at the council meeting Monday evening , limiting the motor trains to a speed of not to exceed six miles i > or hour on Pearl street , from Broadway to Fifth avenue , was the cause of considerable discussion on the streets yester day , and the opinion Is generally expressed that It Is a move in the right direction , although It may not bn exactly what Is wanted. It is now In the hands of the com mittee to which it was referred , and the members of the committee are making nn In vestigation of the facts , so as to be able to make such alterations before the next met-tlng as will meet all the exl- genrics of the case. The objection is raised that many of the Broadway motor trains are run ut a break-neck speed on Broadway be tween Bryant and Main streets , and that a limitation of the same kind is Just ns nec essary there as on Pearl street. The trains have been run nil the way up to fifteen or twenty miles per hour , and the change pro- l > osed may render it necessary for the motor company to make a great change In the time schedule , but the safety of the people who walk and drive on the streets is n more Iru- portant consideration in the opinion of the public generally. Another dinner. The special s-ale of coats , blankets , comforters and underwear , which was announced for Saturday and Monday nt the Boston store , has been extended until next Saturday night. It was found to be impossible , to dispose of all the winter goods in the time first determined upon , and tlio > e who did not take advan tage of the extraordinary bargains will have another chance till Saturday night at the Boston store.

To the liditor of TUB BBC : As many scurrilous at tacks have been made upon the city officials lor their actilon at the time of the storm about December , 0 I wish to make a brief statement in reply. I do not wish to bandy epithets nor enter Into a newspaper contro versy , hut I will give a plain and truthful statement of the matter. The storm was unprecedented , the drifts impeding travel and in many places nearly blockading the streets. The motor track was cleared with a scraper , throwing videos upon each of its sides. It was the duty of the street supervisor under direc tion of the chairman of the com mittee on streets and alleys to act at once. The manager of the motor com- [ tr.ny was required to remove from the street the snow thrown from his track. He re fused to do so , claiming that the company was not compelled to do It. Ho was then re quired to remove the obstructions caused by the motor on Broadway , Pearl , and Main streets ; this he did by leveling the ridges with shovels and running the scraper over them. The latter demand was made by the advice of the city attorney , who explicitly instructed that the company was not com pelled to remove snow from the streets if the obstruction was obviated by leveling the ridges and piles. Men and teems were put at work removing and leveling the drifts and the piles shoveled from the walks , thus clearing in a very short time the obstruction to travel. It might bo inferred by the charges made and by the clamor ra'scd that the city oftlcials had been guilty bf unwar ranted extravagance in the matter. Here nre the facts : The amount paid for the teams and men engaged by the super visor was $ 10.77 ; to Wyatt , f'J ; total , $4 ! .77. The supervisor , n man of strict Integrity , after a careful examination , says that the expense paid for his hauling off snow coming from the motor truck cannot exceed $ ll.'i > . Mr. Wyatt says that the cost for the snow hauled by him would notat the most exceed $1 ; a total of 2.25. Citizens ! Think of this ! Observe the matter calmly and dispassionately I Look at the absurdity of the clamor raised , and at the motives of this clamor I Let me ask what should have been done ! Should the officials" have left the streets blockaded until the motor company could have been prose cuted for that 2.23l Ah ! AU ! How absolutely absurd ! How supremely ridiculous I If the motor company was responsible then It Is now. Permit mo to ask if the interest on the $12.25 would compensate the city for leaving the streets impassable } How intlnltcsitnal 1 How puerile to attempt to influence a sensible community with such silly trash 1 Gentlemen , you underrate the intelligence of the citizens of Council Bluffs. Blame has been attached for requiring the people to keep the gutters In front of their property open for protection against overflow of surface water. The ordinance requiring tills was passed under Mayor Vaughn's adminis tration. It was drawn by Attorney Holmes and it appears to bo a necessary one , for how when n sudden thaw occurs could the super visor keep the streets protected nt the same time in every part of the city { I am credit ably informed that a similar ordinance pre vails in almost every city of the llrst , class. But while thanking you for the indulgence already extended , I will no farther trespass on your courtesy. N. D. L.VWUKNCE. First-class cook wanted at Iowa School for the Deaf. Apply in person.

The question of paving North Twentieth street is beginning to bo agitated again. Four months ago a petition was presented tc the city council asking that the street bo paved from Broadway to Avenue G. John W. Paul , wli3 owns the greater part of the property on that street , was the main signer , and ho agreed. If the petition were granted , to pave all that part of Twentieth street between Avenue G anil the levee at his own expense. The petltior has been lying on the table ovci since it was presented , without any partic ular attention being paid to it. Mr. Pnu bus Just returned from the east , where he had a conference with anumbcrof prominent capitalists with u view to securing the loca tlon of manufacturing enterprises in Council Bluffs , Ho claims to have a contract wilt two enterprises by which they will Ix located here , providing ho can furnish their the assurance that the street will bo pavc > ] by the tlino they nre ready to begin oper ations. One of these enterprises will em ploy at least COO men to start with , ho says and he is anxious to see the paving question dealt with us soon as possible.

The people's party leaders announced i day or two ago that they would hold prlinar ; elections last evenlnc in the various ward to choose delegates to a city convention Places were named for holding the rnuc'iscs , but so far ns could bo learned In only ono ward was the attempt to hold n meeting successful. A people's party man would come up to the door of the room now and then , ami ilndlng no ono present , go nwny again ns silently as no had come. If more than ono happened to bo there nt once , they would sit and talk over their grievances awhile before adjourn ing. In the Third watd , however , they suc ceeded in naming delegates to the conven tion , which is announced for this evening nt 15 Main street. W. L. Marsh was also se lected as candidate for ward councilman. l-'ISTICL'I'K r UeinnrrnM Conic to lllo\v While tinClnrlou * Illchtu c > rcitlKMi lili. | The democrats held primary elections in nil the wards last evening to choose delegates to the city convention which is to bo held tomorrow. In all the words the election passed off quietly with the exception of the second , but there was fun enough there to spread an Inch thicK over the entire city and have some lift for Lewis township. There has been a division in the democratic ranks in this ward for n long time past , which manifested Itself about convention time , but It nas always been healed over before election. Now , however , the prospects are that there will bo a num ber of republican recruits from the demo cratic party unless something Is done to tlx up the tattered feelings of those who came out second best in the fracas. Two printed tickets were In the field , one of which was worked for by W. H. Kncpher , Mike Kildare. Al Noack and others. The other ticket was also composed of repre sentative democrats , and was engineered by J. H. Million , Kmll Schurz and n few others who objected to Kncpher's peculiar way of doing things. " Mithen and Schurz would bring up their friends to vote , and Kncpher and his friends would promptly challenge them , sometimes , it is claimed , going so far In their opposition to the prospective voter , that he threw down his ticket and left the place in disgust. At last the hour of 7 o'clock came , and A. T. Whlttlesey siczed the bal lot box and made for the Marcus block , J where ho and A. C. Schmook in tended to do the counting. Whittlcsey was considered to belong to the Kncpher faction nnd his leaving was the signal for action on the other side. The opposing faction started up the steps after him. but he turned and kept them at bay with his heavy walking stick. He nnd Schmook finally man aged to get up stairs , and , with the door se curely bolted behind them , commenced to count the ballots. The result was finally de clared to be in favor of Knepher's men , and the opposition was wrathy. Schurz and Knepher exchanged a few words and a fragrant epithet or two , and Knepher immediately pulled off his coat and landed a terrine blow on Sehurz's face. For tunately It landed squarely on his cheek or ho might have been severely Injured. Friends of both parties sprang to the front nnd separated the combatants before any damage was done , save to Knepher's knuckles. The result Is not at all satisfactory to the anti-Knepher faction , and they announce that they Intend to vote the republican ticket this spring. They have no objection to the men who are apiwinted as delegates , but they consider the whole affair to have been a piece of high handed Jobbery on the part of Knepher and his allies. The victorious side , in their turn , claim that the only trouble is that Mithen and Schurz were not invited to take any part in selecting the names of the men who were to bo put up as candidates. Whatever may turn out to be the cause of the difficulty , there is a feeling of dissatisfaction , to say the least , which Is likely to have an effect on the result of the coining election. In Honor ol Washington. The anniversary of the Dirthday of Wash ington will be celebrated this evening by the old soldiers of Council Bluffs under the direc tion of encampment No. 8 , Union Veteran legion. The celebration will take place at 8 o'clock in the Veteran Legion hall on Pearl street , which will undoubtedly be full to overflowing with old soldiers and their friends. A general invitation is extended to the members of Abe Lincoln post No. 29 , Grand Army of the Republic , Ladies Aux iliary of the Veteran legion , Women's Helief corps , Daughters and Sons of Veterans and all ex-union soldiers to be present.

Hospitality Needed , The committee having in o large the secur ing of accommodations for the coming dele gates of the Young Men's Christian associ ation , whoso convention will open on Thurs day , is having difficulty in providing places enough. Council Bluffs hospitality is to bo put to the test , and as it has never been found wanting in t'ao past , so it ought now to respond promptly. The coming visitors are not mcro boys , but among "them are some of the most stirring , successful busi ness men of the state. Council Bluffs should entertain them royally. Not one-half enough places has so far been secured , so that it Is nn Imperative necessity tnat all who can. entertain delegates in their homes should report the fact at once to the secre tary at the Young Men's Christian Associ ation rooms without waiting for any personal solicitation. Ulilu on u Writ. Sheriff Hazcn has gone to Decatur county to get a man named Sutherland , who Is wanted to appear in court for an examina tion as to his financl.il status. A judgment was rendered against him in the district court some time ago , but when an execution was made it was found that he had no prop erty upon whbh to levy. The plaintiff , the Council Bluffs Insurance company , was not satisfied , nnd asked that ho bo rondo to ap pear in court and tell what has become of nU property. Judge Thornell Instructed the sheriff to write to Sutherland and give him a chance to come up without running up a bill of expenses. _ Attempted Suicide. Charles Allen , n well known character in this city , was found on the streets last evening about 8 o'clock suffering from the effects of n ten-grain dose of morphine , which ho had taken with suicidal intent. A friend who did not happen to have anything to do for the time , took him In charge nnd kept him walking for about three hours , and at a late hour last night a physi cian stated that there was a fair prospect for ibis recovering from tno effects of the poison.

The Board of Education will become ten ants of the city hall ns soon ns the prelim inaries can be arranged. L ist evening the council passed the ordinance designating the rooms for the board on the fifth floor , Mr. Hascnll being the only opposing member. The terms are the same as heretofore mentioned , with the exception that the board will furnish Its own light \vhllo. the city will furnish heat and water. If at any future time the council should terminate the occupancy of the rooms the city must pay to the board the sum of 20,000 , the amount ex pended upon the foundation of the abandoned building. Mayor Bcmls sent In the following veto : I herewith return without my approval nn ordinance locating additional water hydrants , ono at the corner of Twenty-fourth and 1'iiss stm-ls , and one nt the corner of Twenty-sixth nnd Cumlng streets and ono sit the corner of Mni'ttH-nth and California streets , for tliu reason that If hydrants arc required nt HK-M- points they should In * placed In pursuance of nn ordinance ordering the relocation of liyhrnnts now existing at other points where they are not needed. Whatever may be the right of the city under the agreement of Mr. Vernier on behalf of the water works company with regard to relocating < 00 hydrants as til ) , or Intermediate hydrants , there can ho no posslblo doubt or question as to iho right of thu city to order the relocation of any hydrant from the place wneio the same may now be existing and not required , to any point on existing mains where the rental would continue to bo the .same. 1 therefore recommend that wherever new or additional hydrants are tcqulred on any existing main , that the same be supplied from the large number of useless hydrants In the unsettled pjrtlons of thu city. Mr. Hascnll , In a lengthy speech , took the position that the hydrants already located should remain where they are. He did not see how the city could have the $00 ones re located as $10 hydrants. Mr. Mniiro said that it was perfectly proper to bring in some of the hydrants from the unsettled portions of the city , and tno water works company was willing to relocate them. Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Howcll took the position that the contract with the water works company should be lived up to. and that it was preposterous to think the com pany as a business institution would agree to such change , notwithstanding the agree ment of the vice president of the water cor- por.ition. The veto was not sustained , the vote being 13 to 3. ( ir.idlni ; Contracts Rejected. The mayor also vetoed the contract with Knt z Bros , for grading Hamilton street from Forty-fifth to the west city limits. The message was as follows , and was sustained , the vote being unanimous : I herewith return without my approval a contract with Samuel Kntz for grading Ham ilton street fiom Forty-fifth street to the west city limits , for the reason that the contract l > rovldo.s.ms It properly should do , thut the con tractor Is to furnish the dcllclont earth , but It falls to provide , as lEtim advised Is the un derstanding. that no allowiim'o Is to bo nmdo for overhaul. This , \ think , .should be ex pressly provided In the contract. In view of .1 printed provision contained In the contract allowing payment for overhaul under certain circumstances. Owing to ( ho frozen condition of the street , no Injury kill be worked by the delay. I therefore recomluend , In the event of this veto being sustained , that the contract bo leferred to the Hoard bf Public Works with Instructions to prepare' ri new contract , ox- preisly providing thereln'-that ' no allowance should be made for any overhaul In supplying deficient earth. A contract with Lamoreaux Bros , for grad ing Jackson street from Thirty-sixth street to Thirty-seventh street , and alley in block 1. Kountze's fourth addition , was vetoed on the same grounds and the veto was sus tained. Mayor Bcmis appointed Frank L. Hnller as a member of the board of directors of the public library , vice Hon.

Wheeler , Steele and Parker were ap pointed a special committee to examine the bills of lumber used last yea1 in comparison with the bids furnished by Wyatt , Bullard & Co. and C. L. Chaffee , as it has been as serted that an error had been made in com piling the price of lumber , whereon the mayor passed his veto message of the Chaffee contract. The committee on public property and buildings recommended that the contract be awarded to the Kimball Ice company for furnishing ice to the city for the ensuing year at 40 cents per 100 pounds , and that the protest of the South Omaha Ice company be placed on file. The latter company had bid U5 cents. The recommendation of tno com mittee was concurred In , the members hold ing that purer ice will be secured from the former company. The gas inspector was instructed to turn over to the electrician all electrical appli ances in his possession. Mr. Munro called upon Mr. Edwards for a report as to what had become of the con tract awarded to the Sun Vapor company for lighting the streets In the suburbs with gasoline lambs.

Ho divides the honor of this week's play with Miss Nellie Kiting , I who Is likewise very versatile and clever. In fact every member of the company this week plays his part with spirit nnd dash.

The beautiful souvenir sugar spoon which was presented to each lady visitor yesterday was highly appreciated and will no doubt at tract a largo attendance of the fair sex for the balance of the week , ns the same souvenir will be presented to the ladies every day. fOlC Till ; ST.ITK t'.tllt It.tCE.t.

Some Further I'rcllmlnnrlefi. NEW YOHK. Feb. 21. Charley Mitchell has finally agreed to deposit a $10,000 forfeit and fight Champion Corbett. This decision was arrived nt at midnight to night when William A. Brady , Corbott's manager , and Solicitor Abrahams , repre senting Mitchell , met at the Gedney and came to terms. Abrahams apologized for Mitchell's absence by saying that there had been so much lallc about Mitchell's talking so much nnd making speeches instead of coming to terms that his friends decided tha t it would bo better for him to remain ut Lakowood. James H. Blanchard was decided upon as temporary stakeholder. Mr. Brady , after the pre liminaries had been agreed upon , pro posed that a certified check for $10- 000 bo deposited in Boston before Thursday. Abrahams said the money would bo forthcoming. It was then agreed that Mitchell and Brady should meet in the office of a dramatic paper in this city Thursday evening al 7 o'clock. After the Thursday evening's meeting the whole party will start for Niagara Falls , where the articles of agreement for the light will be signed. United Out by Urlllln. BCFFAI-O , N. Y. , Feb. 21. The Buchanan- Griffin fight came off here tonight in Turner hall before a largo crowd. It wound up in a sensational manner. After two rounds of fierce rushing on Griffin's part and an un usually clever hi ; of evasion by Buchanan , the former put a sudden termination to the contest by butting his opponent on the side of the head and knocked him out. Both men were injured by the con cussion. Hefereo Denny Ryan promptly gave the decision to the insensi ble man Buchanan , the winner , who cnmo from Boston , nnd Griffin from Philadelphia. The fight was given under the auspices of the Crescent Athletic club for a put-so of $400 ana a bet of 51,000. ln\vson the Favorite. NF.W ORLEANS , La. , Feb. 21. 'R. L.
