NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Government Witness in the Edgington Case- Bays Ho Was Mistaken , HIS MEMORY REFRESHED BY HIS WIFE Affidavit * AUo riled to tlio Effect Ono of the Trlnl Jurors Wns Drunk Wlitlo Sitting an Ilia t'nue ll Jlclng IiivnitlgiiUil Another development was made yesterday n the Edglngton fraudulent pension case 'hlch the attorneys ot that young man claim s an Important one , In view of their attempt ow being made to secura a rehearing ot he case. W. II. Coon , a pension attorney f Avoca , will be remembered as having one on the witness stand in the federal court mong the earliest witnesses on the part of ho government and related how Avlngton Idglngton came to his house when his nolher first commenced to talk about gct- Ing a pension and asked to take tha books f the adjutant general's olllce home with ilm , saying that his father's name was .taurlce . F. Edglngton and he wanted to sccrtaln with what company he had served vhen In the army. This evidence was cen tered of considerable Importance by the government officials , ns Indicating that Edg- ngton and his mother had concocted a cliemc to adopt as father and husband any nan by the name of Edglngton who seemed o be unclaimed. Yesterday Coon appeared before A. L. roston and made nilldavlt that after having lad his memory refreshed by talking with ils wife , Julia A. Coon , he now believes hat ho was mistaken In saying upon the rial that the defendant Edglngton borrowed he books referred to before the pension claim of Jennie M. Edglngton was prepared and lied , and Immediately after ho first spoke .0 him , Coon , about getting the pension , ile further says that after having his mem ory refreshed by his wife he believe1 ! that "IB was mistaken when he testified that FMglngton said , when ho first called upon ilm with refercnca to his mother's pension , .hat his father's name was Maurlco F. Edg- ngton. This afildavlt Is accompanied by another 'rotn his wife , Julia A. Coon , who says , In substance : "I did not hear the testimony of my husband upon the trial nor learn tlio substance of It until after the trial. I now say upon oath that my husband was mistaken in that part of his testimony re lating to the fact that defendant took the adjutant general's books from our house. "The fact Is the defendant did not borrow : h3 books until long after the pension case iatl been under way and until after the claim of the defendant's mother , Jennie M. Edglngton , as the widow of ' Francis M. Kdglngton , had been fully prepared and filed In the pension department at Washington. I think It was a month or two after the claim was filed at the pension department In Washington. " A third affidavit was also made by Robert Harris , editor of the Missouri Valley Times , to the effect that he saw George Hart , a luror , drunk Monday In the court room dur- ng the progress of the trial. When he went : nto the box hs was under the Influence of liquor and In no shape to listen to the evi dence. There Is some doubt as to whether any of these affidavits will b allowed to come before the Judge for consideration , Inasmuch as Wednesday afternoon Judge Woolson de clared the case closed and said that the Is sues must bo made up along the lines al ready laid down. Hdglngton's attorneys , however , will make an effort to have them admitted. The testimony of A. " W. Askwlth was taken before a United States commissioner yesterday morning with reference to Juror Hart's alleged misconduct. Ho testified that lie heard Hart eay that ho was drunk Mon day during tlio trial ; that he had drank nine glasses of whisky on an empty stomach and they had gone to his head , so that he could hardly stnnd up. Whatever may be the effect of these hilarious actions of his on Edglngton's chances for a new trial , there Is but little doubt that he will be given nil the chance he desires to explain himself to Judge Woolson next Tuesday.

Six years ago he came here from Omaha and had been cashier at the freight depot on Tenth avenue ever since.

The deceased was born at Dubuque , this state. He enlisted In the army for the cause of the union on the 3d of December , 1861 , as a private In company H , Sixteenth Iowa Infantry. He was discharged July 19 , 1S65 , having served forty-three months. At the time of his mustering out he had been promoted meted to the position of first lieutenant and adjutant of the regiment. He saw some of the bloodiest battl.s of the war. Ho was taken a prisoner at Atlanta and suffered with many others the tortures of the An- dersonvllle prison. He was fortunate , how ever , In baliig exchanged before Sherman's inarch to the sea , and accompanied the army on that victorious campaign , serving under General Illckenlooper of Cincinnati In the Seventeenth army corps. Ho Joined the Union Veteran Legion In December , 18S7 , and at the time of his demise was occupying the position of colonel of the encampment. A splendid line of men's suits at Metcalf Bros.

An ordi nance was presented and raad twice estab lishing the same rule for assessing taxes for Intersection grading and ecwer to the abutting property owners now followed In regard to paving taxes. The question of straightening the curbing on Second avcnuo was brought up and dis cussed by W. A. Maurer , C. R. Hannan and D. B. Dalley , all of whom held that Inns much as the council was responsible for the present "drunken curbing , " as Colonel Dalley called It , and the property owners had been compelled to pay for It , the city ought to remedy the defect at Its own expense. It was finally decided that the work should bo done at the city's ' expense , under the dlrcc tlon of the committee on streets and alleys and the engineer. An ordinance to grade Third street from Story to Ninth avenue was referred .to the committee of the whole , and a meeting will be held at 8 o'clock this morning to look over the ground.

KKNfiVr fcOUlHK AS'vftFK IIBATEn * Well Known Young Jinn ( n 'Trouble Again on Account of Illi Rh djrVnyK. . E , L. Squire , who was formerly well known as n Napoleon of finance 'In1'this ' city and Omaha , has been up to Ma 'old ' tricks since taking up his residence M St. Louis , If a two-column article In t recent Issue ot the Rcpublla of that city Is to'bo believed. He now appears before" ' the public In two capacities , the missing defendant In a crimi nal action In which the 'charge la obtaining money under false pretenses ! and as the de fendant In a divorce suit. He married a girl of 18 In the City of Mexico , with whom he had become acquainted several years be fore In Omaha , Miss Alma Swllcr. Ills bride knew little of his past record , but the true character of the man she had married showed itself two weeks after the wedding , when he came homo intoxicated , she says , and struck her. Squire and his young wife traveled con siderably during the last three years , and about three weeks ago they took a trip to New Orleans to witness the Mardl Gras festivities. From thsre they took a private sail boat for a trip down the Indian river In Florida. One night the boat was anchored In the stream and Squire and the captain went to Fort Pierce , coming back Intoxi cated late at night. Mrs. Squire claims that Immediately after his arrival he picked a quarrel with her and tried to drown her In the river , but was prevented by the captain. As socn as this trip was over Mrs. Squire left her husband and went to live with her mother In St. Louis. She has retained an attorney and will bring a suit for a divorce. Squire , It Is claimed. Is now In Boston. Last February he became Involved In a business transaction with one James M. Maglll of St. Louis , whom he agreed to pay $610 In cash for some lnterest-barlng notes. He got possession of the notes , which be longed to Maglll's wife , and then , so the story goes , gave her but $140 In cash , com pelling her to accept a $500 bond In the Burlington Heights' syndicate Instead -of the remainder of the cash. This bond was claimed to be worthless , and Mr. and Mrs. Maglll swore out warrants for his arrest. This action on their part was the signal for his departure , and ho has not been seen In St. Louis since. Yes1 , the Eagle laundry Is "that good laundry , " and is located at 724 Broadway.

( Special. ) The factional chcrch light of the Dubs- Eshcr clement , which has been disturbing the good people oC the Evangelical Associa tion of North America since 1877 , and which has been dragging Its \\eary length through state and district courts since that time , as sumed a new phase a few days ago , when Hev. J. C. Burns arrived In La Porte , having a commission from the Des Molnes confer ence of the English Evangelical Association f North America authorizing him to take osscsslon of the church property In this own belonging to that association. Rev. Mr. Burns proceeded to execute his ommlsston In n % manner most unmlnlsterlal. English Lutheran church In this village s an unprctentlons white frame building , xicupylng a corner not many squares from he business portion of the town. Mr. Burns rrlved In La Porte on the evening train nd laid quiet until 10 o'clock , when he iroke In the church door , removed the old ocks and put on new ones , barricaded the "oors and windows and then prepared for an U night siege. Some members of the con- Tegatlon passing that way soon afterward lotlced a light In the building , and Immedl- tcly gave the alarm. The trustees of the ihurch soon appeared on the scene , and hrough the barrlcadrd doors heM a conver- atlon with the Intruder , attempting to find ut who he was and by'what right he had aken possession of the church building. The evcrened gentleman on the inside , however , Imply looked more closely after his fortlflca- lon and said little. PROVOKED A BIO CROWD. By this time It was nearly midnight , and he crowd on the outside had grown until t numbered nearly 300 men and boys , who appeared to be getting a largo amount of fun out of the extraordinary proceedings. At 'his stage of the game the mayor of La 'orto was hustled out of bed , a constable tressed Into service , an attorney obtained. aw books consulted , and a warrant sworn out for the arrest of the unknown party vho was attempting to steal a church. The jarty of the law then made another assault upon the building , and , after much parleying and many threats In the name of the great state of Io\\a , succeeded In dislodging Rev Mr. Burns and bringing him before the nayor for trial. The reverend gentleman asked for a continuance , which was granted upon proper ball being furnished , which was done by Mr. Esher , of this town , who s a brother of Bishop Esher , the head of the Eshcr faction. Things remained nearly normal until Sat urday , when the Progress-Review , the local iaper here , came out containing a notice from Rev. Mr. Burns , and one also from Rev. Mr. Jones of the opposing faction , botl ; stating that regular services would bo held in the church at 11 a. in. and 7:30 : p. m and each notice signed by the opposing inln "ster. Sunday morning , however , friends of Rev. Mr. Jones ( Dubs faction ) obtained pos- jcsslon of the fort at an early hour and held It against all comers. And thus the case stands. The trial of Mr. Burns for his at tempt to steal a church will take place Ii this city In about three weeks , when the principals In the great church fight , uni also heavy legal artillery from Omaha and DCS Molncs are expected to bo present.
