NEIYS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Citizens Anxious to Dispense with Phila
delphia Schedule of Street Lighting.
WANT ONE ADAPTED TO HOME CONDITIONS
Clrcumitnnecs Alter Cn c ntul Should Have
Some K fleet an the Tlmo or TurnIng -
Ing on tha Light When
Nightfall Cuinci.
The action of the city council Friday
night In deciding to break away to a certain
extent from what Is known In electric light
circles as the " 1'hlladelphla Echcdula " meets
with the hearty approbation of everybody ,
and the wish was expressed on all sides yc3-
terday that the council might go a step
farther and draw up an entirely new schedule
that would bo applicable to Council Bluffs ,
rather than to Philadelphia , Pa. , Philadel
phia , Greece , or wherever the schedule was
first tried , H has bon evident for a long
time that the schedule was not the one for
Council Bluffs.
It Is no unusual thing to have the lights
burning fcr an hour before dusk and an hour
after daylight , but on the other hand It Is
Just as common for the streets to bo dark
as pitch for an hour or two In the evening
because the schedule says It Is the proper
thing. When tlio moon makes Its appearance
as n slender thread In the far western
heavens the lights are kept turned off until
the telescope reveals the fact that the m-on
has vanished behind the horizon , and ihen
It Is dark enough for the arc lights to be
turned on. Many nights during the year It
Is next to Impossible for the teams to travel
the streets during tha early evening
without great rUk of colliding with other
teams. It Is the universal belief that h\v-
cver well the schedule now In US3 might
EUlt Philadelphia It doesn't suit Council
Bluffs at all , and the council will be for
given all Its shortcomings If It shall see
fit to revolutionize things and give a little
light en the situation.
Considerable dissatisfaction Is expressed
with the contract Just entered Into between
tha city and the electric light company , be
cause It contains no provision with reference
to the prices to be charged private con
sumers. While the city gets light for $84
per light business men have to pay $160.
Many citizens are of the opinion that If a
proper eftrt bad been made by the light
committee the company could have been
Induced to grant some concessions for them
as well as for the city , but the contract
has been signed by the officials of the com
pany and will becme the law of the city
as soon as the signature of the mayor shall
have been affixed to It.

Innlsfall Entertainment.
The Innlsfalls never fall to make a hit or to
have a big audience , and their performance
at Dohany's last Thursday evening was per
haps the most successful they have ever
given. The melodrama , "Placer Gold , "
traces the fortunes of Nathan Bardwell , an
old Yankee farmer , who makes a highly un
satisfactory trade of his farm ' 'daown east"
for a gold brick or two in the hands of
a couple of smooth bunco steerers from the
city. George F. Hughes played the gullible
farmer In a manner that vaguely hinted he
himself had been taken In a few times , while
Charles Paschel and J. J. Hughes played the
'accomplished and genial bunco men most ac
ceptably. Mrs. John J. Mullen , In the part
of Gypsy , a waif , was effective , while Tom
Hughes' Irish dialect work In the part of
Mlko O'Connor , the hired man , Indicated that
a few hunks of the "ould sod" had entered
Into his makeup. Miss Jennie Keating as
Nellie Crosby , the 'squire's daughter , did
some very taking vocal work. Henry Paschel
appeared as a miser who had some very
pleasant streaks of generosity running through
his character , and even the fact that Mr.
Paschel has been accustomed to playing vil
lainous parts did not lead him unduly to
eclipse the streaks. E. A. Ingoldsby , John
Bennett , J. M. Mullen , P. J. McBrlde , B. J.
McDermott , and Ihe Misses Mame Hughes ,
Florence Shea and Maud Hnzen all performed
their parts In a very effective manner. The
entertainment was financially successful , and
about $200 was cleared , which will be given
to old St. Bernard's hospital.

TUIVI.K
'or n Few Dolliirs Four Men JIntclier Com-
panlnna In a Ilex Car.
FOSTORIA , 0. , Dec. 8. In a fight between
ramps In a box car on the Baltimore & Ohio
wo persons were killed and another fatally
.vounded. . The fight occurred at midnight last
Ight. The murder was not discovered until
.ho train reached this city. The dying tramp ,
whoso name Is Harris , made a statement of
.he murder , charging it to two men who came
board the train at Aub'urn. He saya- the
murderers alighted from the train before It
cached Post or la and escaped.
Harris said hishome was at Auburn , Ind. ,
ind that he was a chimney sweep by occupa-
lon. Ho gave the names of his companions
as Recsh and Brown. He further stated that
.he men who did the shooting were driven out
if Garrctt , Ind. , yesterday and that they
boarded the train at Auburn. There was no
provocation for the shoctlng. It was solely
'or the purpose of robbery. Twelve dollars
was stolen from Harris and considerable
amounls from his companions.
At Deshler the murderers leaped from
he train , but It was not until the train
arrived In this city that the tragedy was dis
covered. The ghastly find was made by
Brakcman Becber , while looking for tramps
who had been on the train. When he found
them two were dead and one had his head
pillowed upon the breast ot one of his com
panions and was unconscious. When the
train reached this city the dead men were
.aken to the undertaker's , while the wounded
one was conveyed to the American house ,
where medical aid was summoned and
everything possible done for him. Under
surgical treatment ho revived and made the
following statement :
'My ' name Is Henry Harris and my two com
panions are named Henry Reesh and Arthur
E. Brown. Wo all live at Auburn , Ind. , and
last night boarded the freight train to strike
out and look for work. When we got to
Deshler , about twenty-five miles west of here ,
four men boarded our car and made a demand
for our money. We had a fight and they
commenced shooting and I was shot down.
I think the men left the car at Deshler again.
They got $12 In money from me. "
Rcesh was found to have four bullets In
his head , any one of which would prove fatal.
Brown was hit five times In the body and
once In the head. Harris had two bullets In
his head and one In the left breast. The car
In which the shooting was done looks like a
slaughter house and about twenty-five empty
shells were found on the floor , ranging from
32 to 44 caliber. There is no clew to the
murderers , except a description of five men
given by the marshal of Garrett , who says he
drove five tramps out of Garrett and that they
boarded that train.

SIOUX CITY , Dejc. 8. ( Special Telegram. )
The grand Jury hat been In session for five
ecks Investigating the charges brought
gainst various ex-county officials and mem-
ers of the beard of supervisors for llicfts
om the county , and tonight completed Its
iport and was discharged. The cases were
istltuted by the citizens and taxpayers' com-
Idee of Woodbury county , an organization
i which there ore most of the best business
nd professional men of the city. The report
f the jury was a surprise to every one , and
as produced a sensation hero that eclipses
iat caused by the assassination of Ilev. Mr.
addock by a band of saloon keepers , several
ears ago.
In all the Jury returned fifty-two indlct-
icnls. All but two or three of these are
gainst ex-county officials and members and
x-members of the board of supervisors. W.
Klfer , ex-county treasurer , was Indicted
'or ' embezzlement. U Is claimed that he
etatned money belonging to tha county
ggregatlng $60,000 In all.
J. J. Jordan , ex-county auditor , Is Indicted
n a half dozen charges ot obtaining money
rom Ihe counly by false pretenses , by put-
ng In fictitious and stuffed bills and for con-
piracy.
In the same connection Ed Roberts , ex-
eputy recorder , who served under Jordan
.nd who fled the country , was Indicted on
everal charges for conspiracy and obtaining
noney by false prelenses.
T. F. Devlnglon , ex-county attorney , was
ndlctcd on eight charges of embezzlement
nd obtaining money by false pretenses by
onsplracy with the members of the board ,
nd by pulling In false bills.
Supervisors Hunting and Strange were In-
Icled on five charges , each for obtaining
noney on false prelenses and for conspiracy.
A. Jerman and J. W. Mohler , ex-auper-
Isors , were indicted on as many similar
iharges.
Strange was also Indicted for bribing the
ury In the cage of Ilhys against Strange , In
hlch about $30,000 was Involved , and several
nembers of the Jury were also Indicted , bul
heir names are not obtainable at this time.
It Is alleged that the crimes for which the
iidlctments were returned extend over a
erlod of four years , and that during that
Ime the county officers named and the mem-
iers of the board of supervisors have con-
plred together so successfully that the county
as been robbed of nearly $200,000. The
ounty has already been enjoined from pay-
ng any of the warrants In question , and , II
is believed , will be able to repudiate them ,
s nearly all the questionable warrants were
ot paid for want of funds , the extravagance
f Die board having already embarrassed the
; ounty. This Injuncllo ] was obtained when
he board endeavored li bond the warrants
nd place them In the h nils of third parties ,
vhere , under the Iowa law , they could not
ave been repudiated.

half by parties who either purchased for
cash or look them as collateral security for
money loaned the Improvement company.
The original suit was to foreclose this mort
gage and sell the college property to pay

The approximate gross earnings of the
entire Atchlson system for the month of

arm the corresponding month of last year.
The Atlantic & Pacific und the Colorado
Midland roads show an Increase over the
earnings of November , lbS3 , the Increase
of the former being $15,515 und that of the
latter $9SG1.
The western roads have at last a chance
of coming to nn agreement with the Can

nd once this matter Is out of the way
here will bei little or no delay In the for-
natlon of the general association , which Is
o Include all the territory between Chicago
nnd the Pacific coasl. The present plan Is
o allow the Canadian Pacific to have the
llfferentlals It demands , provided lhat as
eon as It finds that the purpose of the dlf-
crentlals has been accomplished to drop
hem. There Is very small chance of get-
Ing the Canadian Pacific to go In without
ts differential * * , and as the western roads
are much more Interested In the formation
f the association than Is the Canadian
'uclflc It Is thought that this plan will
neet the exigencies of the case. It will be
onsldcred at the mcellng of all the lines
when they meet again.

MONTGOMERY , Ala. . Dec. 8. A street
caucus of Kolb's friends here last night
was attended by nearly all the populist
eaders In the state. Some of Kolb's ad-
tierents wanted to precipitate matters and
seat Kolb as governor , but this was strongly
opposed. Finally the following compromise
resolution was adopted , and It may be taken
as the sense of the populists as to the dual
government :
"Resolved , That we act Inside of the law
.mill the present session of the legislature
closes , and If a fair election law Is passed ,
as well as a fair contest law , by which
the last stale elecllon can be fairly con
tested , that we will stand by the result In
the contest , but If the leglslalure shall fall
or refuse to pass the acts above leferred to
or shall pass any oppressive laws , then we
shall call upon the chairman of our state
executive committee to call a state conven
tion to consider the situation /\nd adopt
some line of action by which we shall be
given our rights. "

also signed certificates for the populist
members of the lower bouse of congress.
Affidavits were made out and sworn to
before W. L. Blukely , a notary public. As
soon ns the Knight bill has become a law
Kolb's farce will play out and for obvious
reasons he was urged to "Take time by the
forelock. "
