Oily Oonutiil Meeting Tonig'at Will Bo
Fraught With More than Usual Interest.
ON INTERSTATE FRANCHISE EXTENSION
Motor nnil Hrlilf-fn t'ntnpinjr Vflll AMt for
a l-'nvor Kx-Kiro Chief NlclioUmi's
C'n n lit Ho Thoroughly Invos-
tlsutc.l mill Disputed ' "
The city roum-ll will liavo a meeting this
evening , at which considerable business of
Importance will bo brought up. Among
other things is the question of extending the
tlnio of the Interstate Ititlway comp.my for
two vcur.o more In or.lor to allow it to build
Its uloctrlc motor line at luisuro. Tlioro Is
considerable feeling against such an exten
sion among the pnoplo of the city , ns the
only thing that the company has so far
done In the way of Improving transportation
facilities between the two cities Is to lay a
block of worthless II-UISK In such a slovenly ,
tv.iy that the city w < is compelled to pay
il.-'OO damages to a lady who was Injured by
It. A croit ; deal of Interest Is felt In the
action of the council in this matter.
Another thing to i-omo before the council
will in nil probability be the i-clnstntotncnt
ut Charles Nicholson to the position of lire
clilof , gfrom winch ho was removed tem
porarily wliilo charges of incendiarism anil
habitual drunkenness were pending against
him. Tim grand Jury having disposed of the
Ilrst charge In his favor , his friends have
hojjun an imitation for the mirposo of having
him rcin. tiitcil ill mice , without bavins any
regard to the charge of habitiml drunken
ness. Tills is also 11 question in which every
property owner , and indeed every resilient ,
of Council ItlutTs cannot help being vltaljy
interested. In order to keep insurance rates
down , thu standing of the tire department
must ho kept up. If Chief Nicholson was
guilty 01' drunkenness while on iluty there
U no doubt , tluit his temporary lay-off
should bo niiitlc permanent. If not , he should
bo promptly reinstated. The evidence so
fur ns il tins been bronchi before the public
is strongly aiwlnst him. and Tor bis own sake
ho should insist that the charges mailo bu
fully investigated.

Frank Davenport , who was wanted very
iml by the police a few weeks ago for
forging the name of a Mrs. Patton to a check
and presenting it ut a grocery store in this
city , beating the groccrymau out of several
dollars , seems to have been exercising his
talents again in a moro extensive way. The
sheriff of Tckamah , Nob. , was in the city
yesterday looking for him. but failed to ( hut
him. It scorns Davenport worked for a man
at Tokainah for some time after
leaving here , and received a check
for SS in part payment. After
nicely inserting another figure "S1'
after the Ilrst , increasing the value
of the check ten times over , ho
passed the check on a store keeper , who
now wants hftn. Davenport spent some of
his time after leaving here at Winnobago.
Nob. , and a deputy sheriff from this city
went to got him. Davenport was standing
in the donr of the postolllco when the
deputy came up. Ho immediately stepped
inside of the building and waited until the
ofllccr had passed by , after which ho shook
the dust of Winuobago from his feet In short
order.

ning , but there was a hack driver standing
near who offered to take her across. It was
early iuitho evening and of coiirfco the cars
were still running , but she being a stranger

A farmer named Ivlopping , who lives near
Underwood , lost a flno team of horses mid a
wagon Saturday night. Thieves brolca Into
his barn and made off with the rig , and Its
absence was not discovered until morning.
During the day a neighbor of Klopplug came
to the city. While ho was coming through
a cut two miles north of Council Hluffs , ho
ran across a wagon standing In the mlddloof
the road , which ho recognized as belonging
to Ivlopplng. Near by , grazing at the side of
the road , wore the hoi-sos. which ho also
readily recognized. Ho hitched up the rig
and brought It Into town and left it nt Xou-

Mioi'm VAI.I.EV , la. , Nov. lit.1 To the
Keillor of THE UEC : In Tuc Srxii.vv Hun ,
under the caption "Fleeced a Farmer,1' you
place several severe strictures upon nn "ac
commodating Justice shop'1 In Valley , which
presumably are intended to apply to a case
tried before mo on the 18th lust. , in which
T. Cahcy and II. Hamilton were charged
with obtaining nionoy by false pretenses.
To a statement of facts in the case , Includ
ing the evidence produced , 1 ilo not and
could not demur. In your iiarr.ttlou of the
alleged crime you state that ono O.
W. Morgan , a fanner living near
Louisville , Neb. , is the source ol your In
formation and the victim of the coulitlonco
game. In the case tried before mo the com
plaining witness was Charles liratidt , who
stated in evidence that .ho resides near
Louisville , Neb.
"Presuming thut by Morgan you mean
Dranilt , the only portion of Brandt's testi
mony that Hoffman ( the baggageman ) cor
roborated was as to tne tilciitlllcatlon of De
fendant Fiihey. Hoffman tc.stllled that
Fahey is the man ho saw at thV baggage car
door for a short time. He tcstilied to noth
ing concerning the "lleccing' " which oc
curred in the smoking car , he ( Hoffman ) not
being present at the time.
Concerning Defendant Hamilton , no evi
dence was produced implicating him further
than being present at the time of the nllcgcu
swindling. The complaining witness testi
fied thai the entire transaction was be
tween him and Fahey. As to Defendant
Fa hey , tlioro was just us much , just as posi
tive evidence that ho did not commit the
crime ns there was tint ho did. He gave a
detailed statement of' his whereabouts for
twelve hours prior and eight hours after
the crime , which was corroborated in ovcrv
material particular by other witnesses. The
testimony of no witness was impeached. The
aliened fraudulent draft was not introduced
in evidence. As strong and as positive as
Brandt's evidence und Idciilltieutlon of
Fancy , came the lattcr's sworn evidence
that ho never gave nor offered to give
Brandt a draft for 7'Jl ) or any other sum ,
and further that he had never seen Brandt
nt any time prior to his ( F.ihcy's ) arrest in
Council Bluffs several days after the crime
was committed.
] have stated all the material facts in thB
case , all of which are to bo disclosed by the
records thereof and the minutns of the
testimony now iu my possession , and open
to the strictest scrutiny of THE Bni : or anyone
ono interested sufficiently to examine the
same. H. .1. Mn.i.un ,

Tlio advance of thfiiuonfailornto line
o ( battle eoininonoujil oftMy on the mornIng -
Ing of July 1 , 18.13 , hfi ottysbnrjj. The
Infantry division commanded by Mujcr
General John B. Gordon of Gourglu was
unions Uio flrst to uttnuk. Its objective
point was the left of the Second corps of
the union army. The during commander
of tlint corps oecupieil a position so far
advanced beyond the main line of the
federal army that , while it invited
attack , it placed him beyond the
reach of ready support when the
crisis of bnltlo catno to him in
the rnsli of churning lines more ex
tended tlinn bis own. The confederate
advance was steady , and it wus bravely
mot by the union troopn , who for the
Ilrst time found Uicmselvos engaged In
battle on the soil of Iho north , wnieh
until tboii hud been virgin to the war.
It was "a far cry" from Richmond to
Gettysburg1 , yet Leo was in their front ,
and they scorned resolved to welcome
their southern visitors ) "with bloody
hands to hospitable graves. " Unt the
federal Hanks rested in air , and being
turned , its line was badly broken and ,
despite its bravely resolute defense
against the well ordered attack of the
confederate veterans , it was forced to
fall back.
Gordon's ' division was in motion at
a double quick to seine and hold the
vantage ground in his front , from
which the opposing line had retreated ,
when ho saw directly in his path the
apparently dead body of a union olllccr.
lie cheeked Ills horse , and then observed ,
from the motion of the eyes and lips ,
that the olllcer wau still living , ile at
once dismounted , and , seeing that the
head of his wounded footnau was lying
in a depression in the ground ,
placed under it a near-by knap
sack. While raising him at the
shoulders for that purpose ho saw
that the blood was trickling from a bul
let hole In the back , and then know that
the olltuor had been shot through Iho
breast. Ho then gave him a drink from
a Mask of brandy and water , and as ho
revived said , bending over him :
"I am very sorry to see you in this
condition. t am General Gordon.
Please tell mo who you are. I wish to
aid you all I can. "
The answer came in feeble tones :
"Thank yon , general. ' I am Brigadier
General Barlow of Now York. You can
do nothing more f6r mVi ; I am dying.1
Then , after a paiirfo.'lio said : ' 'Yes , you
can ; my wife is at 'the headquarters of
General Meade. If yon survive the bat
tle , please lot her know that I died doing
my duty. "
General Gordonfroplied : "Your mes
sage , if I live , ahull surely be given to
your wife. Can I do.aiothing . more for
you ? " , r
After a brief pause. General Barlow
responded : "May God bless you. Only
one thing moro. , f.lfeel in the breast
pocket of my coat the left breast anil
take out a packet of letters.1 As Gen
eral Gordon unbuttoned the blood-
soaked emit and tool 'out the packet the
* said ' "Now
seemingly dying soldier :
please take out one and read it to me.
They are from my wife. I wish that her
words shall bo the lust 1 hear in this
world. "
Resting on one knee at his side General -
oral Gordon , in clear tones , but with
tearful eyes , read the letter. It was the
missive of a noble woman to her worthy
husband , whom she knew to ho in daily
peril of his life , and with pious fervor
breathed a prayer for his safety and
commended him to the care of the God
of battles. As the reading of the letter
ended , General Barlow said : ' 'Thank
you. Now please tear them all up. 1
would not have them read by others. "
General Gordon tore them into frag
ments and scattered them on the Held ,
"shot-sown and bladed thick with
stool. " Then , pressing General Barlow's
hand , General Gordon bade him goodby ,
and , mounting his horse , quickly joined
his command.
Ho hastily penned a note on tl > o pom
mel of his Buddie , giving General Hur-
low'b messagj ) to his wife , but stated that
ho was Htill living , though seri
ously wounded , and informing hoi
where ho lay. Addressing the note to
"Mi-H. General Barlow , at General
Meado's headquarters , " ho handed it to
one of his stair and told him to place a
white handkerchief upon ills sword ant
ride in u. gallop toward the enemy's line
and deliver the note to Mrs. Barlow.
The olllcor promptly obeyed the order ,
lie was not lired upon , and on being mei
by a union olllcor , who advanced for tha' '
purpose , the note was received am
read , with the assurance that it should
bo delivered instantly.
Lot us turn from Gettysburg to the
capitol at Washington , whore , eleven
years later , General Gordon hold with

Within a fortnight tlioro will bo
placed at Sandy Hoolo a battery of guns
capable of throwintf'llfteon ' tons of dyna
mite an hour at any Meet of foreign hos
tile ships that might try to force their
way to Now York , Those guns are
pneumatic dynamite throwers and have
jiibt been completed during the present
week for the United States government
at the West Point foundry at Cold
Springs , near Newburg , There are three
tubes in this first battery to bo placed at
Sandy Hook two fifteen-inch and ono
eight-inch aerial dynamite throwers.
If this battery proves a success the
United States government , it is hoped
by those interested in the invention ,
will place a score or moro of those tubes
at Sandy Hook for the better protection
if Now York The manufacturers be-
livvc that a largo battery of these tlyna-
nlto throwing tubes could prevent the
iomblncd naviesof the world from enter-
ng New York harbor.
The battery was provided for by the
ast congress , says the Now York
'lorald. Work on the foundations for
: ho tubes was begun several weeks ago ,
mil everything is now In readiness to
cceivo these powerful weapons of war ,
each of which can drop from 100 to . ' 100
rounds of dynamite into the water be-
iwcon Sandy Hook and Coney Island , tea
a distance of from one to two'mllcs.
Aa the channel for deep water vessels
extends only about ono mlle from Sandy
Hook , warships trying to enter the har
bor would bo exposed to the heaviest
charges fired by tills.battery.
Three tubes will bo mounted at Sandy
Hook temporarily , near the end ol the
sand strip from which the place takes its
name. They will bo placed side by sldo
on the level of the beach , the eight-inch
tube being on the rlirht hand side and
the fifteen inch on the loft.
All three can bo trained entirely
around the horizon. It takes two min
utes to make a full circuit.
The total weight of the fifteen-inch
tube is forty tons. The total weight of
the full culibor projectile is 1,000 pounds ,
the explosive charge ulono weighing
i" > 00 pounds. The range of the piece at
1C ) degrees elevation , with a largo pro
jectile , is 2.-IX ) yards : with a ten-
Inch sub-cullbor projectile weighing
tiOO pounds it is 4.400 yards : with
an eight-inch sub-caliber projectile
weighing ! )40 ) pounds the range is 5,000
yards , and with a six-Inch sub-projectile
weighing 240 pounds the range is 0,000
yards. The weight of the explosive
charges in the sub-caliber projectiles
named would bo respectively pounds ,
100 pounds and fifty pounds.
At all ranges the tubes can place 7"i
per cent of their projectiles within a
rcctango ninety feet wide by 1100 feet
long. A duplicate of one of the tubes
was recently purchased and tested
by the English government for
coast defense. The most skilled
rill" practice was thrown in
the shade by its performances. At
the close of target practice , during two
days , British military authorities who
witnessed Iho experiments declared that
the accuracy of this aerial torpedo
thrower was unparalleled.
At a range of ; i.)48 ! ) yards , or two and
one-fourth miles , the error in direction
was ! ! . ! ) yards : at . ' 1,044 , yards it was 1.5
yards. The wind at the time was m jving
at the rate of eight foot per second , and
the deviation from the range was from
17.2 to 22.0 yards.
A Unvoted Canine.
It was near Spottsylvania court house ,
Virginia , on the morning of May 18 ,
1804. General Grant wished to pierce
our line , and had massed some 10,01.0
troops for this purpose. Many of those
wore reserves from the camps at Wash
ington , says a writer in Blue and Gray.
The point at which the attack was made
was a strong ono , and the storm
ing columns wore subjected to a deadly
cross-lire. The first advance was re
pulsed with fearful loss. Again did the
federal troops gallantly charge out
works , but their lines molted away un
der the storm of musketry , grape and
cailister that swept the intervening
space. .Then they fell back in confusion ,
leaving their dead and wounded on the
smoking field. Immediately our skir
mish line was thrown out to watch their
movements , and was established at a
point where the slaughter hud been
greatest. The smoke had scarcely
cleared from the field and random shots
were growing fewer. A member of the
Fourth Virginia infantry. "Stonewall
brigade , ' ' who was posted on the line ,
on looking around him , saw a small
white spaniel , with black cars , standing
with one fqot on the breast of a federal
lieutenant who had been killed a short
titno .before. The dog commenced
barking furio.isly at the skirmisher ,
whoso Ilrst impulse was to fchoot the ani
mal , but , on second thought , ho took in
the situation and admired the fidelity
of the little boast , guarding with its own
lite the dead bady of its late master.
The scene touched the soldier's heart ,
and ho tried to pacifv the faithful crea
ture. Getting a sash from a dead y.ou-
ave near by , lie succeeded , after many
attempt' ' , in throwing it over the dogs
head an 1 claiming it as his prisoner.
The dog was loth to leave the dead sol
dier , and continued to lick the wound
upon his cheuk.
When the line was 'relieved the con
federate brought the little dog back to
the regiment and gave it to our major ,
who sent it back ta the wagon train.
For two days it would cat but little ,
seemed dejected , and at night
would whine most piteously. On
the morning of the third day hun
ger had conquered , and now life
had come to the poor animal. It ate
greedily , was cheerful , and frisked
around as if reconciled to its new friends.
Wo supposed that this faithful little
creature hud boon the pot of some sol
dier , had followed him closely in all
those terrific charges , was by him wuen
ho fell and guarded his body with tender -
dor devotion when all hud lied. '
A "Hayseed" Spy.
To fool the pulse of the enemy , to
learn his strength or weakness , is very
ticklish business , for the scout is apt to
stumble sometimes upon moro than he
bargained for. This was the case with
Tom Ilothing of General Sterling
Price's sorvicp.
What was supposed to bo a detached
division of the 40.000 men and 100 pieces
of artillery with which General John U.
Fremont proposed in 1801 to crush thorn
was observed ono morning within a few
miles of the confederate camp , and
nothing was sent by Price to find out
its numbers. Ho was to go in the charac
ter of a farmer coino to ask news of his
boy whoso command ho was ignorant of.
but whom ho know to bo "nomowboro"
In the union army. This would afford
the scout opportunity to wander through
the camp , making his inquiries with
some freedom.
Bo , procuring a miabbv , lean old gray
mure that looked us if she and a curry
comb hud not even a speaking acquaint
ance , Hothing sot out. Ho wus halted
by the union picket und wus intent
on explaining his mission , when a
wuggish Boldior , winking at his com
rades to sue what fun ho would got out
of the old hayseed , gave the mare a
slight prick with his bayonet. There
was an equine Hash of lightning that
struck at bath ends and foiled the
picket and joker like a shot , a
streak of something through the
cump that did not stop even us
it upset a kettle Hlled with an Impro
vised dish of hominy , brown sugar und
bacon over the mess bitting about it ,
licking their lips us they watched it
bubbling over the lire , a moving parallel
of gray mare sailing on with a whole
army shouting in chorus "Whoa ! " and a
wild wail ofDon't uhoot ! don't shoot ! "
wafted back on the wind.
The old mare wus Jessie Blanton , and
had been one of the famous ante-bellum
racers of that section , und she never
stopped till she carried her rider half a
mile on the far side of that camp. And
when "Old Pap" asked the boout if ho
had secured the knowledge lie wont
after , Rothlng , weary and disgusted ,
answered forcibly :
"Thoro didn't seem to bo any more
Yanks or Hebs , or heaven or earth or
hell , hut just mo and thut old mare a-
Hying ! "

KANSAS Crrv , Nov. ID. The Western
Storage and Warehouse building , which was
burned last night , was the principal store
house in the west of the National Cordage
company's product. After the failure of that
concern last spring vast quantities of twine
were shipped hero from Chicago , Omuhu ,
Denver und other points. The Deermg com
pany attached in this city last May l.r > 0OOJ !
pounds of twine belonging to the cord-
IIKO trust , which was valued nt
$220,000 and insured for 81 fW.-
000. This stock was subsequently
repleviucd byDresel , Morgan & Co. , Brown
Brothers and Ansick , the Armours and the
Newby Transfer company , but it was then so
late in the season that very llttlo of it wus
sold. Since then additions have been made
to the stock of twine und the amount burnocl
last night was vnlued at from fc2'J3UOO ' to
SD00.003.
The agricultural Implements , buirgies.
whisky , ruisius , etc. , stored in the burned
building were worth * T ,000 to $ S.OOD. ( ) The
total loss caused by the lire is ubout MOO.-
