, PHOHATK COUIIT MATTERS.
Ailmlnlxtrntor'N Itieuort In Mclvlun
HnnlliiK Extiitf nml Coiirt'N Order * .
The report of Peter 'Egan ' , Jr. , adminis
trator of the estate of Melvlna Harding , has
been on file In the clerk's office of the dis
trict court since last August. Immediately
after It was filed atlorncys for Julia E.
Thompson , ono of Ihe heirs , filed Ihelr ob
jections to the report. Judge Smith has had
the objections under consideration since then
and has made several * orders in behalf of
their client.
Administrator Egan .reported ho had re
ceived $2,408.72 In all , of which $2,380 was
from the sale of a farm near Nooln. His
report shows that he disbursed $1,321.87.
Of this amount $829.42 was lo Iho Farmers'
and Merchants' State bank , $110 as com
pensation to administrator , $171 to Dr. Robbins -
bins , $110 ar > attorney's fees , and $53.40 as
court costs.
The attorneys objected as the court costs
were more than allowed by law , and made
similar objections to the administrator's fee.
The claim of the bank was also objected teen
on the ground that the administrator was an
Interested party , being cashier of the bank ,
and thai If Ihe claim was ever heard In
courl no temporary administrator was ap
pointed to defend against the claim ; also
the statement was mada that the adminis
trator received $2,578 for the farm , Instead
ot the amount reported.
Judge Smith has allowed $28.40 court costs
instead of $58.40. Ho also refused to allow
the administrator's fees until the case Is
sottlcd. Ccnccrnlng the allowance of the
bank claim , it Is set ) as'do and J. G. Bards-
ley Is appointed temporary administrator to
defend against the claim , which must bo
heard on Its merits. The court also directs
the distribution of $900 among Iho heirs ,
and adds :
"Tho court finds that there Is reason
to bellovo there Is In the hando of H. L.
Robertson the sum of $192 belonging to the
estate and that the administrator has net
attempted to collect It , and the administrator
is ordered to collect it at once , and if It Is
not paid that milt bo broughl to enforce the
collection. This Is the difference between
the amount reported received for Iho farm
and the amount alleged to have been re
ceived. "

WHAT THE RECORDS DISCLOSE
Some Tncts ic Connection with the Iowa
Construction Company.
PAUL HAS TWO SETS OF INCORPORATORS
Sn > Hint < lie SlKU vr I'ut Down
Their \iinicn McrHr to Cover
Up the Honl llnckot-N of
the I'lim.
What are regarded as rather sensational
disclosures In connection with the railway
and Improvement schemes of John W. Paul
w-ero made at the offlces of the county re
corder and the clerk of the district court
yesterday. In the ofllco of the recorder a
new set of articles of Incorporation of the
Iowa Construction company were turned up.
Tl'cy ' wcro filed February 4 about noon , and
distinctions were given to the clerk In charge
lo lay them down carefully and say nothing.
The original m tides of the company bore
date of April 26 , and weiu drawn In Chicago
and acknowledged by a Chicago notary. H.
C. Howcll , John C. Robinson and M. K.
Wlnn wcro the Incorporate who formed
the organization that was to build railroad ?
and other things that would require the
small capital of $2GQQ,000 , which the com
pany was supposed to represent. The new
set of articles did not bear the naine nf the
original Incorporate , but Instead those of
John W. Paul , P. G. Kmlg and Joieph P.
Wbgner. The capital stock IK the came.
Paul It * made president , ISmlg secretary , and
Wagner vlw president , and the Intentions
of the company arc sot forth In the same
words and phrases as used In the original
Instrument.
The discovery made in the clerk's oRlce
was a little bit more newsy , and was foil ml
In a lot of depositions that wcro filed during
the day. They had been taken In the course
of the litigation between Paul and the Union
Land and ImptovcniHit company and E. W ,
Nash. The depositions are those of Uobln-
son , Wlnn alid How ell and Joseph A. Varly ,
the Chicago Incorporates of the Construc
tion company und of the Council Bluffs Stock
Yards company , whose capital was fixed nt
$1.500,000. The deposition of M. E. Wlnn
makes the startling disclosure that the per
son Is a woman , Miss Mildred E. Wlnn , aged
2G , and that she Is a stenographer , who
worked In Mr. Paul's Chicago ofilco for a
time at a salary of $50 per month. She
svcars that she signed the articles for ac
commodation and n fco of $ l.C 0. It. C. How.
ell's deposition shows that he Is a young
clerk , aged 22 , and at the time he signed
the articles he was earning a salary of $ t !
a week , but is now getting $10. Joseph A.
Varty , when ho put his name to articles
Incorporating million-dollar enterprise. ] , w.is
a clerk In the Safety Loan and Itulldlng as
sociation , and was drawing a salary of $10
a week. He made an additional $1 by sim
ply signing bis name.
Mr. Paul was seen last evening and ques
tioned about the remarkable disclosures. His
chief anxiety seemed to bo the fear that
the public might misunderstand the true
situation. Ho said there was nothing In the
disclosures that need worry him , but were
a part of the original plan. It was discovered
ho said that the original articles did not
comply fully with the Iowa law , and It was
necessary to get up a n'ew set. The original
set were signed by some clerks In Chicago
of the men behind the big enterprise con
templated.
"This is not unusual , " said Mr. Paul.
"Some of the greatest enterprises ever In
corporated In this country followed the same
course , and the articles bore the names of the
ofllco boyu and clerks until the time arrived
fen the transfer of the stock and the begin
ning of the work. The stock books of the
Construction company do not show that
one dollar of stock has been issued to any
of the'original incorporalors. All I have to
ray is that the Iowa Construction company
Is not a myth , but that there Is plenty , in
fact unlimited , capital back ot It to push
Its cnterpr.pcs. I am not yet rcaiiy to give
nway any secrets , but In view of what has
been said or is likely to bo said , I want
to assure the public that there Is a railway
corporation Bunding back of the Indian Creek
enterprise , ready to receive the franchise
and assume control ot ) the work when it
Is in shape. In fact their engineers are
now at work. It is natural that the com
pany desires to conceal Its identity until the
proper tlmo arrives. There is no scheme
mil there Is no child's play In anything that
lias been done so far. "
Mr. Paul's earnestness must be taken as an
Indication that he knows what he Is talking
about , and his status In the commercial
world must bo a conlradlcllon of the asser
tion that he is working blindly upon some
thing or other that is without tangibility.
CITV suin < FOR 92,000 DAMAGES.
Second Trliil nf J. L. Stvirnrt'N Suit
for Fourth Street Oriule CliiuiKe.
When Die city council ordered a change of
grade on Fourth street to bring the street
to a uniform level and permit proper drain
age and sewerage the residence property for
several blocks was seriously affected. Near
Seventh avenue the grade was raised from
a few inches to about four feet. The prop
erty owners , put in various bllla for damage ,
and with about all of the city council made
amicable settlemcnls. The properly owners
wllh whom seltlements were effected , how
ever , were those who had frame buildings ,
vhlch could bo cheaply raised. Mr. Stewart's
residence , a fine brick structure , was located
at a point where the nil was greatest. The
cost of ralblng the building and putting it In
shape to llvn In was much greater than any
of the other buildings , and when Mr. Stewart
submitted to the council a long list of Item-
zed bills which he had paid for the Improve
ments that had been made , the total was con
siderably above the figure which the judiciary
committee In the council thought It should
> e. Efforts to effect a compromise between
ilewart and the city failed , and Stewart
> egan a suit for the recovery of the entire
> lll. This was tried In the district court
ast year and resulted In a verdict for the
city. The Jurymen were laken to the resi
dence and shown the Improvement thai had
been made and were told what the previous
conditions were. This was a fatal mistake
or the plaintiff. The Jurymen found every
thing fixed up sot nice and neat and In such
strong contrasl to what It had been , that
they concluded that the Improvements were
vorth all they cost to Mr. Stewart , The
> lalntlff was not satisfied and appealed the
: ase to the supreme court , where
t was passed upon and the
udgmcnt of the lower court reversed. The
low trial ordered was begun before Judge
Thornell yesterday. A Jury was gotten
without trouble and nearly all of the evi
dence waa Introduced before court adjourned
ast night. The only important event In the
case during the day was the ruling of the
udgo that the list of the bills paid for the
vcrk , which were again introduced , could not
jo admitted for the reason that some of
them showed that they wcra payments for
work done that did not rightfully belong to
trading and brick work , but were evidently
n payment for carpenter work done In ac
cordance with a general plan for the enlarge
ment and Improvement of the house.
The question of whether the jury will again
bo permitted to view trio premises was dls-
cucsed by the attorneys. It can only bo
done by agreement of both sides or by an
order ot the court. The plaintiff will not
agree to It and It IB not likely that the
court will order It. Among the expert wit
nesses called by the city to testify to the
nature of the Improvements that wore made
at the time and their necessity as a public
economic measure was ex-City Engineer L.
' . Judson , who established nearly all of the
grades In the city. He showed that this
iliange of grade waa only a necessary con-
ormlty to the established grade through
out the city , and If It had not been done
hat portion of the sewerage system of the
: lty would have been worthless and Mr.
Stewart's residence would have been left In
a bole. The case will be concluded today.

DISPOSITION OP Till } DI2AD
Director * llrnc a Mrnnnri }
Ilofore Ilio Stntp l.pnl'ln turc.
The undertakers ot Council Bluffs are tak
Ing considerable Interest In the progress In
( lie legislature at DCS Molnes of a bill Ilia
materially affects the Interests of the men
engaged In the undertaking business.
The bill In question Is fathered by the
Funeral Directors' association ot Iowa. I
Is entitled "A bill for nn act to establish a
stale board of embalming , to provide for the
bstter protecllon of life and health , to pre
vent the spreul of contagious d'seascs ant
to regulate the practice of embalming , "
By the terms of the measure th0 governor
shall appoint a board of embalming for the
stile of Iowa , lo go Into existence on July
1 of tire present year. The board shall con
sist of five members and each member shall
have had nt least five yc-irs' experience Ir
the practice of embalming and the care and
disposition of the dead. After providing for
the manner of Ihc organization of the board
and Its * adoption cf rules and regulations for
Its government the bill provides that each
person desiring to engage In the practice
of embalming within the state of Iowa and
not already engaged therein shall make a
written application to thri board for a license
nud shall pass an examination before the
board showing his qualifications for Ihc care
r.r.d disposition of Ihc dead , his knowledge
of sanitation and his ability to practice the
art of embalming. The license fee for new
applicants Is IlxoJ at $5 and every registered
embalmer shall pay $2 each year thercafler
for n renewal of his registration.
A flno of not less than $50 nor more than
$100 shall be Imposed for the violation cf the
terms ! ot Ihc measure. It Is underflow !
and PO slated In the bill that none of the
provisions of the proposed law apply to un
dertakers who deal In burial supplies or con
duct burials , but do not pretend to prac
tice the science of embalming. Such un
dertakers are required , however , to have a
satisfactory knowledge of the laws ot san-
llallon , and lo be able lo l-ake Ihe proper
stops to prevent the spread of contagion.
The bill Is meeting with considerable oppo
sition nnd the cry has bean rahcd against II
thai Ils purpose Is lo cslabllsh a monopoly
In favor of Iho embalmers. The members
of Ihe state arsoclatlon deny any such charge
and use the exact wording of the bill to re
fute the statements of the opposlllon. Mem
bers of Ihe assoclallon aasert that no restric
tion Is placed upon the burial of the dead
by undertakers who do nol prelend lo prac-
tlco the science of embalming and docs not
In any manner Interfere with the business
of dealers In undertakers' supplies and burial
equipments. The bill simply provides lhal
when an undcrlaker altempts to do em
balming he shall be qualified for the work.
Members of Iho association assert that there
are now In the state men practicing the cm-
balmcr's art who have taken no regular
couroa of Inslrucllon al any school , and
who really luve no idea of Iho work Ihey are
doing. They do not lake Ihe proper care
of bodies and are constantly menacing the
health of families of the deceased by prac
tices that expert embalmers have long since
discarded. Members of the association ,
which embraces a majorlly of Ihe reputable
cmboltncrs and undertakers of the slate , arc
unanimously In favor ot the passageof the
bill.
THE 11USSIAN SPY SYSTEM.
An American MlnlMtrr Secured Strlk-
liiK Proof of It.
Aflcr Mr. Curlln had left Iho gubernato
rial chair ho spent five years In St. Peters
burg as United States minister to Russia ,
says the Philadelphia Times , reviewing the
biography of Pennsylvania's war governor.
By his display of diplomacy he won the re
gard of Gortschakoff , the great chancellor ,
who for fifty years ruled the destinies of the
Russian people. Afler Napoleon III.'s capitu
lation at Sedan and his retirement as an
exile lo Chlselhursl , England , Minister Cur-
tin determined upon a flying trip to London
by way of recreation. The day before leav
ing St. Petersburg , while In conversation
with Gortschakoff , the latlcr Incidentally
said to him : "The return of a Napoleon to
the throne of Franco would menace the
peace of all Europe and bo most lament
able. "
Shortly after the United States minister
had been Installed in his apartments In Lon
don ho was walled upon by Ihe Chevalier
Wyckoff. The main purpose of the cheva
lier's visit was lo suggest to Mr. Curtin lhat
he should travel to Chlselhurst to see the
deposed emperor of the French. The min
ister protested thai he was away from his
post on simply a holiday trip without leave
3f absence , and that he did not desire to attract -
tract public atlenllon lo his movcmenls. The
chevalier Ihen intimated that the distin
guished American would in all likelihood be
formally invited to call upon Napoleon.
"That , " said Mr. Curtin , "would be an en
tirely different mailer. "
The following day Prince Mural , cousin of
Napoleon , called upon the. American minister
and formally Invited him to Chlselhurst and
to the honor of a prlvalo audience wllh Na
poleon. Mr. Curtin made the trip In Ihe
company of Chevalier Wyckoff , and was
very graciously received by the late sovereign
eign of the French. After a brief conversa-
llon , Napoleon requested Iho chevalier lo
wilhdraw , as he wished lo confer wllh Mr.
Curlln In prlvale. Wyckoff left the apart
ment and the American minister found him
self alone , apparently , with the deposed
monarch. Then enrucd a most Intoresllng
convereallon , that was prolonged for two
lours. Mr , Curtin foundi that the ex-emper
or's conversation , no mailer In what direc
tion It drifted , Invariably returned to an at
tempted discussion of the probability of his
receiving Ihe support of Ruscia If he should
again attempt to mount the throne of
Franco. Ho evidently knew of , the
American minister's Intimacy with Gorts-
chakoff , and , to use a homely American
phrase , was endeavoring to "pump"
ilm. But Mr. Curtin was proof against
such gullo and skillfully avoided direct re
plies to Napoleon's remarks except In two
nstances , when Iho nephew of the grcal
Boraparto put such direct questions to him
hat ho was forced to reply : "Your majesty
vlll , I .am sure , pardon mo for declining
o answer your question when you consider
hat my relations to my government and
through It wllh the Russian government
are of an entirely confidential character ? "
Jpon both occasions when replies of that
sort were made to him Napoleon bowed
coirteously In assent and diverted the
charnel of conversation , only to rclurn
again to the subject upon which his mind
was ovldenlly dwelling. Finally , at the
conclusion of the interview , the late em
peror said lo Mr. Curtin : "Wilt you an
swer 'me ono question ? If you can't con
scientiously do so I will feel under Just as
much obllgallon to you for your courtesy in
paying mo this visit. You are on Intimate
totms with Prince Gortschakoff. Has ho
ever said anything 10 you concerning my
return to France ? "
Minister Curtin , having In mind his last
conversation with the Russian chancellor ,
was visibly embarrassed , by this Inquiry.
Flrally he said with some hesitation : "Your
majesty , I saw Prince Gortschakoff the day
before I left St. Petersburg , but I beg of
you not to ask me what it was ho said
to me concerning yourself. "
Quick as a flash Napoleon took In his
meaning. A shade of sadness passed over
his face. Then , with a courteous bow , he
said simply : "I understand you , sir , and I
thank you. "
When the American minister returned to
St. Petersburg he , as In duty bound , paid
his respects to the Russian chancellor. Gort-
schakoft received him very graciously and
at the conclusion of a long and pleasant
conversation , said : "I must congratulate
you , sir. "
"Up'on what ? " Inquired Mr. Curtin.
"Upon the discretion you displayed , " re
plied Gorttchakoff , "In your conversation
with the late emperor of the French , "
How the diplomat ever learned the par
ticulars of that Interview Mr. Curtin could
net or discover , and It always remained
mystery to him. True , Chevalier Wyckoff
was notoriously In the pay of 4he Russian
government , but he had been excluded from
the room. Mr. Curtin was positive that he
was alone with the emperor , and was equally
lure that he tiad never whispered a word
to a human being what took place.

CoiiiiiilKnliin ,
XtOIttns , Feb. 7. ( Spcclal.-ln ) thft
house Mr. Smith of Greene Intro
duced a lengthy resolution lo In-
vesllgalo the rumors circulated through
the public press In regard to the
action of the monument commission In to-
lectlng the list of soldiers to bo honored by
being represented on the Iowa soldiers' mon
ument , as well ns In making the contracts.
The resolution provides for n Joint committee
of the two houses , nnd the Investigation It
Is directed to makeIs of thci most searching
character and requires the committee to go
Into every detail connected with the expendi
ture of the $150,000 which 1ms already been
paid out. The time and compensation of
each member of the commission and the ex
penses Incurred by them are made special
objects of inquiry. The * claim of $10,000 for
"extras" which the contractors have pre
sented will alse be Inquired Into. The com
mittee Is directed to report not later than
March 15.
Mr. McArthur of DCS Molnes county ob
jected to thei consideration of the resolution ,
and under the rules It went over till tomor
row. While some lively discussion may be
provoked It la altogether probable that the
resolution will pass both branches of the gen
eral assembly.
The ant'-clgarelto bill came up again on a
motion to reconsider the vote by which the
house refused to refer the bill to the .com
mittee on public health , which was mule
by Mr. Nletert of Linn , who claimed he had
voted under a misapprehension. After some
lively sparring betwesn McArthur , Van
Houtcn and others the reconsideration pre
vailed , and after further discussion the mo
tion to refer the bill to the committee on
public health was carried by a vote of GO to
43 , with the proviso that the bill be reported
within ten days and "do not lose Its place
on the calon-lar. "
The house committee on schools reported
In favor of the passage of the Ileeil bill , au
thorizing school boards to furnish books to
pupils at public expense.
Many letters and petitions were read from
Individual soldiers and Grand Army posts
In favor of eliminating all portraits , statues
or medallions of soldiers from the monument
on the ground that no partiality should be
shown or Invidious dlrllnctlons made between
"members of the brave army of boys In
blue who aided In putting down the rebel
lion. "
The Derry resolution , limiting the Intro
duction of bills In the senate to February
20 , and giving the reports on the code the
right of way , was taken up and rejected.
Senator Blanchard said be did not believe
: ho majority had the legal right to take away
from the senators the privilege of Intro
ducing bills by the mere passage of a res
olution.

: ho chapters. of the cede assigned to them

ormed in a satisfactory manner in a dozen

All senate resolutions and substitutes In
