The Council lilnlTs Rowing association has
been looking over Its affairs and finds that
everything is In such excellent condition ,
with all debts paid , and about $100 In the

best to go at It to t-ectire a state regatta
next censon. The n sura nee Is given that an
electric line will run to Lake Manawa next
pennon , and with this the crowds could be
handled nicely. Such a plan would meet with
with hearty encouragement on the part of
citizens.
Fate seems to have decreed that political
honors shall be thrust upon J. J. Shea. De
spite his protests the democrats nominated
him for reporter of the supreme court , and
they pay no attention to his numerous de
mands to lip.ve his name stricken off the
ticket. Now the populists have done the
same thing. He says he don't want the of
flee , much less the nomination , and If this
sort of thing keeps up he will get out an
Injunction against all political parties re
straining them from using his name without
permission.

Rev. Dr. Kennedy , the missingpresldcn
cf College Springs , la. , was been In Councl
Itliifts. Saturday , August 25 , by H. C. Dab-
cock , rector of St. Paul's , one of his former
pupils , who now lives In this city. Mr. Babcock -
cock was passing the Metropolitan hotel on
Broadway when lie noticed the familiar form
of Dr. Kennedy sitting at the front window
with his heels perched up In a lounging at
titude. Being well acquainted , he stepped In
side and greeted his old teacher , but received
a more formal salutation than usual. Other
little mannerisms caused the young man to
feel that something was wrong with the
doctor. His attire was unkempt and his
accustomed iieatufes made this very notice
able. Dr. Kennedy asked the young man In
a vague sort of way what the latter was
doing here , although he had recently held a
long talk with him concerning his locating In
Council Bluffs , and If In a normal mental
condition would not have asked such a ques
tion. The doctor Eald he was ) etopplnc at
the Metropolitan for a short time only , and
expected to go to Omaha that very day. A

The big dial thermometer In the council
chamber was Indicating 87 degrees better
than winter w.nthtr when the nldermen met
In special session last night. It was dis
couraging it the heated debate , hot protests ,
warm advocacy and several other things that
were anticipated in connection with letting
the contract for repaying Oakland avcnuo ,
but the aldermen , with their mind's ' already
mndu up on the subject , had little to con
fuse them ,
The clerk presented the tabulated bids for
grading middle Bcnton street and Flemmlnt ;
avenue , showing that St. Spry nnd Fred
Kline x\ere the lowest bldd rs , and they
were awarded the contracts. The clerk wai
Inalructttl to prepare printed Instructions for
the guidance of bidders for this kind nf
work , the provocation b.lng the palpable mis
understanding of the advertisement for bids
by a doen or more bidders.
The clerk found among his nondescript
papers an trdinance "regulating striking
jacks and games of chance In the city of
Council Bluff' ! , " and It was laid upon the
tiibls before the drowsy aldermen realized
that it was n guileful attempt to legalize
gamtll' g In the c ty.
The petition for repaying Oakland avenue ,
signed by all of the residents en the stre t
with one exception , together with a remon
strance signed by all the n n-fcMdent prop
erty owners on the street without any ex
ception was presented by the clerk. Thv
remonstrance was first read. It was signed
by .1. C. Detliivrn. W. W. Loamls. James
Snguln innl others owning 1,400 feet.
Mr. D.-ll.ivpii was the only one of
the signers present , and he made
a very earnest remonstrance against
the work , claiming that the property owners
hnd just finished paying for the old cedar
blork paving and asserting that It wds a
serious hardship to keep them paying for
.laving nil their natural lives , and main
taining that the present pavement , with a
lltl ? repairing , could be made to answer
for a couple of years yet. T , J. Evans and
J. J. Stcndman Epoke In favor of the Im
provement and of Us Immediate necessity If
the city did not desire to cut off communi
cation with Fairvlew cemetery. The wooden
blocks and planks were thoroughly rotted
away and lay upon the surface like so much
chaff ready to float off with the heavy rain.
Alderman Brcwlck moved to lay the remon
strance on the table , and the motion \\as
sustained without a dissenting vote. The
clerk was then Instructed to advertise for
bids for repaying the street with vitrified
brlok.
Kid ire street residents wanted assistance
In cutting down the hill at the upper end
of that street and Canning street , making the
street accessible to farmers and gardeners.
The sum of $50 was ordered expended un-
dtr the direction of the jtrcet commissioner
and streets and alleys committee provided the
property owners would furnish teams to work
wheeled scrapers to the extent of an equal
amount.
The charier of the Council Bluffs & Lake
Manawa Electric Railway company was
amended In sect'on ' two to permit them to
go south on Sixth street to 20th avenue
Instead of Eighteenth avenue , and 'then '
cast to Fourth street , to avoid a number
of railway tracks.
A remonstrance against laying a brick
sidewalk on Ninth avenue from Main to
Fourth street called out a lengthy colloquy
bctvNcen ex-City Clerk Stevenson , one of the
objectors , and Alderman Spetman. Stephenson -
son claimed that an excellent walk was al
ready there , and Spetmnn , who said he
walked by there every day In the year ,
said that there was no walk at all. "The
last time I was. there tin mud was knee-
deep , " said he. There was an Intensely far
away look In the eyes of the other nldermen
as they strove to rememtrr how long ago
there was rain enough to make knee-deep
mud anywhere In this country. Keller
moved that the council go ns a committee of
the whole to hunt for the wet place.
The clerk was ordered to advertise for
bids for the city's coal.
The council refused to exempt Mrs. Keys
fiom the expense of building n sidewalk.
E , L. Shupart wanted an extra electric
light at the northwest corner of Dayllss
park as a protection against footpads ,
A six-page petition from the Omaha
Bridge & Terminal company asking a re
mission of taxes on their bridge property
was referred to the judiciary committee.
The marshal was ordered to notify all
property owners to trim their shade trees
to the height of eight feet , according to
ordinance.

Rev. T. F. Thlckstun says In regard to the
Chautauqua movement :
"The feeling among the people Is univer
sally ( avornblo to the Inauguration of a Chan
tnuq.ua for 1SS5. There Is an enthusiasm In
this direction that Is Inspiring. Asto loca
tlon , 1 have In mind a half dozen points
handy to the city well adapted to Chnutau
qua purposes , Possibly the- owners of some
of these localities are so In sympathy with
our plans that a part , If not the whole , of
the grounds will be contributed to help on
the good wcrk. Possibly , too , the present
Cbautauqua building , as a free gift , cr , at
most , for a small sum , can be secured from
Its present owners. Three-fourths of it will
be- sufficient for the- new pavilion , and nfford
seating room for 5,000. The other fourth cf
It can be utilized by being converted Into
class rooms for teaching purposes , a great
accommodation to the C. L. S. C. department
of the Chautauqua. Or If It should be
deemed best to put up a new building , with a
seating capacity of 5,000 , and class room at
tachments , the total cost will be only about
$5,000. In either event our citizens are equal
to the emergency. Let there bo Immediate
and united action In this direction , and , dur
ing the next three months , very tangible pro
grcss can be made along the line of a Chau
tauqua for 1S95. "

CHICAGO , Sept. 5. Tlio hearing of the
contempt cases against President Debs and
other olllcers of the American Railway union
which was discontinued on July 25 was taken
up by Judge Woods of the United Slates
circuit ccurt this morning.
Special Counsel Walker for the govern
ment announced n filing of a supplementary
bill of Information. Attorney Gregory for
the defense , moved for a jury trial , which
was temporarily overruled. The taking of
evidence was then begun.
President Debs was not present at the
outset owing to his Illness , but the other
defendants were In court.
Attorneys for the Santa Fe railroad , which
had brought proceedings agalust the de
fendants bimllar to those of the government ,
asked leave to amend their bill. Judge
Woods ruled that while the testimony heard
should be considered as testimony In the
government case It should also be appli
cable to the Santa Fe proceedings :
E. A. Mulford , Jr. , manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph company , was callet
and produced a collection of over 9,000 tele
grams bearing upon the strike. The defense
bitterly objected to the admittance of tele
grams , but Judge Woods finally admlttei !
them. Dozens of them were read , and when
the famous "Save your money and buy n
gun , " message was read. It was found that it
also contained the words : "Tell Bllle I an
well , " showing It to be a private telegram
Attorney Gregory took occasion to de
nounce the prosecution for giving the In
complete telegram for publication. Judge
Woods said that he did not consider the
alleged garbling of the dlspatct
amounted to much. "When I read thai
telegram In the papers , " said the court , "I
d'd not attach much Importance to It , as It
did not appear particularly Incendiary. "
U was shown that Debs had nothing tc
do with the sending of the "Buy a gun1
dispatch , and that It was Bent by a subor
dinate.
After the reading of other telegrams Mr
Mulford was temporarily excused and John
Brennock , a city contractor , took the stand
During his hearing President Debs entereil
tlio room. Ho was pale from his recent
Illness and was scarcely able to walk as he
made his way to his seat. He left his bed
against his doctcr's orders.
Witness Brennock testified to having se
cured during the strike an order of nonin
terference from Dabs , which order he used
In having some switching done In the rail
road yards. He said he experienced much
difficulty In b'vlng the railroad cars moved

NOHTll SVDN13V , X. S. , Sept. 5. The
cliooner Ulgel of Gloucester , Mass. , CapUiln
5. W. Ulxon , arrived here today , having on
idiird the crew nnd passengers of the
trainer Miranda , which l.-ft New York July j
7 with Dr. F. A. Cook's Arctic excursion.
All the party are well. On August 9 the ]
Mlr.-xndii struck n rock near Sukkertoppen , i
West Greenland , nndvns abandoned In a
sinking condition August 23 In Davis strait , |
atltude about Ct degrees 15 mlnut s , longl- |
inle 5S degrees 40 minutes.
The particulars of the expedition and Its !
llsastrous termination are as follows : After 1
he repairing of the damage sustained by I
he iceberg collision on July 17 , the- Miranda '
eft St. Johns , N. F. , on Juiy 24 anil proceeded - |
ceeded directly to Greenland. Much Ice and I
og were unexpectedly encountered off Cape I
'arewell. At one time the vessel came near
icing nipped In the floes , the rising of a
og disclosing Ice all around. Considerable
apprehension was felt by the olllcers , nnd
visions of the fate of the Jeinette and Pro-
eus expeditions arose among- the passengers ,
as the Miranda waa totally unlit to cope
vllh the terrors of Arctic navigation , lint
ortunately a thin place In the llocs v.as
ound and the ship driven through , The
louthwest coast of Greenland was so. bloi'k d
vlth Ice that no landing could be made
mill August 7 , when the expedition readied
Sukkcrt opznlng In latitude CS:25. : Leaving
his port on the morning of the nth for
Jlsco , the vessel had proceeded about bevi'ii
mile * at full speed when she struck with
rcmemlous force on n hidden roef. IJvery-
hlng loose went flying lot \\anl. The
steward , John Farrcll. was struck by n
rutik and slightly Injured. A party at
ireakfast found themselves piled up with
llshes and viands at the end of the cabin.
Direo times a high wave shitted the r..lp
nnd let her down with a crush that shook
ler from end to end. When she floated
off great excitement prevailed , as the vessel
was seen to bo settling. The boats wjro
swung off and everything made ready to
abandon the steamer. It was found , how
ever , that the main Injury was beneftli the
jallast tank , which was filling so rapMly
.hat the pumps could not control the Iniluw.
3ut the water-tight bulkhead protected the
other compartments , and Ksklmo pilots hav-
ng at length came off In their knyacks , the
steamer was gotten safely Into harbor , where-
It was considered unsafe to proceed further
with the damaged vessel.
OUTLOOK WAS GLOOMY.
The situation of so large a body of ex
cursionists on this Inhospitable const was
not encouraging , especially when it was
found that the Danish steamer which
regularly visits this settlement had been
stove In hy Ice and would not arrive this
year , It began It look as If the expedition
might hive to winter In Greenland , and
short rations were served In anticipation
of such a catastrophe. It was leai-'ed. how
ever , through the Danish government , that
several American fishing schooners were on
the halibut banka near llolsteinborg , 120
miles north. To secure one of these vessels
Dr. Cook , together with Messrs. Rogers ,
Porter and Dunning , and four Kskimoa ,
started for the banks In an open boat.
After a stormy voyage lasting ten days
they found the Hlgel and brought her to the
assistance of the shipwrecked people , and
the passengers were transferred to the Hlgel.
The Miranda then took the lllgel In tow
and left Sukkertopper on August 31 , Intend
ing to proceed directly to St. Johns , N. F.
All went well for two days , but a heavy
sea the second night weakened the top of
the ballast plank , on which an enormous
dydostoe pressure was exerted , and It gave
way at 12:30 : a. m. , August 23. Three
blasts of the whistle gave warning to the
Hlgel to stand by. The night was cold ,
dark and foggy and the vessels bounded
like balls on the billows.
On board the Miranda all was confusion.
The firemen , leaving the boiler room with
out orders , cut loose the best life boat , which
was Immediately dashed to plcc-s against
the ship's side , and they were only kept In
submission at the point of the captain's
revolver. The carpenters tried In vain to
stop tht > leak with blankets and mattresses ,
ami at daylight , as water was Invading the
coal bunkers nnd a storm waa threatening ,
the ship was abandoned. The crow was
taken aboard the schooner. It was fortunate
that the passengers were alr.-ady on the
Hlgel , as a transfer could hardly have been
effected under the trying conditions without
loss of life. Nothing except thesailors'
bags were saved from the Miranda. The
passengers lost all their baggage exc pt the
clothing worn when they went on board the
Hlgel at Sukkertoppen. Many of them lost
expensive scientific Intrumcnts and hunting
equipments.
All the botanical , geological and ethnologi
cal collections , and all the photographs ,
probably the. finest ever taken In Greenland ,
went down with the Miranda. Prof. Dyche
of Kansas university lost a fine lot of
Labrador and Greenland birds. Prof. Wright
of Oberlin college was able to make interestIng -
Ing studies of the glaciers near Sukker
toppen , but otherwise the expedition was a
failure from the scientists' point of view , as
It was also of the sportsmen. The journey
homeward was without Incident other than
the adverse winds and Insufficient provisions ,
only ten days' supplies for forty men having
been placed on the Hlgel , and the addition of
the Miranda's crew made ninety-one men
on board the little vessel of 700 tons. Some
of the passengers slept In the hold , on top
of the salt and fish. Sea gulls constituted
the only fresh meat of the party for the la&t
ten days.
Too great credit cannot be given to Cap
tain Dlxon and the crew of the Hlgel for
their efforts In behalf of those whom they
had rescued. The party will have a banquet
at South Sydney before- leaving , at which
time a handsome testimonial will be pre
sented to Captain Dlxon.
The lost ship Miranda was built In 1884
for the St. Johns and New York trade. She
Is famous as the vessel which lost the cele
brated Lcary timber raft off Long Island
sound. For two years past she has been
running to Central America and the West
Indies , She Is said to have been Insured
for $90,000.

hopeless. They In turn discourage others ,
