TO ABOLISH SLIPPERY PLACES Major Jennings, is Determined to Remedy the Existing lee EtiI. DOWNSPOUTS ARE CAUSE OF NUISANCE Transformed Into (Under Titer Con vert Solid PiiTPinent Into Trnps for L'liTTary l.nvr Is IterlTed. The condition of tho downspouts on some of the large buildings In tho business cen ter of the city was suoh (luring tho recent cold spoil as to bo a constant source of rfanpr In fiffle'tt rln na. f1 fnr. If snv of the largo building, are tho downspouts, M ' " connected with the sewers, and In conse quence In cold weather thoy got frozen up! the sun during tho daytime molts the snow on tho roofs nnd the wator being unable. 1 to find an outlet through tho spot, over- I .. ,. , n,.-r.a,, inini.. flows and forms huge oerhal glng Icicles. If during the day tho weather Is sufficiently warm to thaw tho downplpes tho water overflows the sldowalks and by evening forms a solid shot of lco full of danger to tho unwary pedestrian. Within tho last week tho condition of some of these downspouts was considered so dangerous that tho city authorities found , It necessary to protect the public by roping off the sidewalks In their lmmcdlato vi cinity. A year or so ago Mayor Jennings had an ordinance drafted provldln; for all down spouts to bo connected with the Bcwcra in stead of emptying into the gutters or over tho sidewalks. The ordinance was pigeon holed, as tho city engineer gavo It as his opinion at tho time that tho sewors In the downtown district wero of such peculiar construction that it wa3 doubtful if they would be nble to carry off the water nnd the result would bo that the sowers would in all probability back up into tho base- ments of tho buildings so connected. In vlew of this adverse opinion of tho city , Honal bank of Council Bluffs Is as clean as engineer, Mayor Jennings placed the ordt-1 a hank can be." nance in a pigeonhole In his desk, where t Talking generally, he said: "The national remained over since until yesterday. Hev- banks of Iqwn were never In n better condl eral complaints having boeil mado to him Hon than during the last two years. In of the condition of tho sldowalks In the vicinity or tnese downspouts, caused tno , mayor to resurrect his ordinance and he has referred tho matter to the city solid- i tor with a view to having the evil remedied It possible. Until some measure can bo pasBod by the council to regulate the matter of theso downspouts Mayor Jennings han deter mined to enforce as far as possible section 70 of a general ordinance passed In October, 1868, and which Is still on tho books. This soctlon provides that every occupant of a building In (he city fronting upon nny streot or sidewalk shall clear tho side walk In front of bis premises of sn'ow nnd Ice by 0 o'clock In the forenoon' of each day and cause It to be kept clear. The section provides a penalty of 910 for every twelve hours such sidewalk shall remain encum bered after the occupant of the abutting building shall havo received notice from the mayor, nny alderman or police ofllcer. Mayor Jennings notified Chief of Pollco Albro yesterday afternoon that tho or dlnanco'muat bo enforced and 'to call the attention of tho patrolmen on the down town beats to Us provisions.

Unless the pressuro of other business will prevent It, the question of paving cer tain streets In the Fourth ward Is booked to come up for another round at tho meet ing of tho city council next Monday night. City Engineer Etnyro has recclvei re plies from all the cities whero he sent inquiries regarding tho durability of asphalt paving under certain conditions, except from St. Joseph. The replies naturally vary, but the general result, Alderman McDonald, the champion of asphalt pav ing, says, Is not in the lenst dlBcouraglng. The inquiries were sent to the city en gineers of a number of the larger cities where asphalt pavement Is in use. One of tho principal questions asked was tn re gard to tho necessity of keeping asphalt paved streets In a stnto of cleanliness. In all of the replies received tho engineers ngreo that clean streets aro absolutly es sential to tho life of asphalt paving. If dirt and debris aro permitted to accumulate on asphalt pavement it tends to rot tho paving and It becomes In a short tlmo full of holes nnd useless, Another point on which inquiry was mado was whether shado trees tended to injure such paving. Most of tha repllo3 state that shade trees aro beneficial to anphalt. Most of the replies agreo on ono point- that of the necessity for n grade of not less than two-tenths of a foot in 100 foot. It Is said that the grades. In the part of tho city whero It Is desired to pave with asphaltum are less than the gradient named in tho replloa. The city owns a street-sweeper and those who aro urging the use of asphalt contend that with this machine the cost of keeping the BBphalt-pavtd streets clean would be but a small Item. They claim tlut it would be sufficient to have the sweepor go over theso streets once n wecft. At present the city council is divided on tho question of asphalt. It Is known that three of tho aldermen aro unalterably op posed to It, while n fourth Is uncertain Tho other four city fathers are said to bo In favor of tho material, if it Is shown that a majority of the Interested property owners desire It.

County Treasurer Arnd returned yester day morning from Des Moines, whero he attended the nnnunl meeting of tho Stato Association of County Treasurers. Ono of tho principal matters discussed at tho meeting, he said, wns the "tax fer ret" question. The oonsousus of opinion of the treasurers In nttondnnco at tho meot Ing was that tho tax ferret law was a good one, as it had undoubtedly succeeded in recovering to tho stnto nnd mnny coun ties large sums on property which had been omitted from assessment. Tho discussion developed the fnct that n largo number of countlos throughout tho state wero employing tax ferrets, but that In no county was more than 15 per cent being paid for the work. In some coun ties 50 per cent contracts had been In ex istence, but when the law wns enacted by tho Twenty-eighth General assembly mak ing such contracts void new contracts were entered Into oif the 15 per cent baslB, The general opinion of the county treas urers was that tho employment of tax ferrots had tended to Increaso the as sessment in ouch counties where they wero opcrntlng, as property holders nro begin ning to realize the futility of nttcmptlng to withhold property entitled to as sessment.

Tho defense In the trial of Frank Hamilton rested Its caso this afternoon after tho testimony of W A. Chandler, bartender nt tho West hotol. Tho I)cs Moines plumber, Hyan, was not called. Tho principal evidence today had to do with tho Evans trousers sent to n clenning nnd mending bureau tho day nfter the homicide. II. C. Robinson, receiving nnd shipping clerk for the bureau, testified that a box of clothing marked Hay L. Evnts was received that day containing n coat, a veBt nnd two pairs of trousers. He noticed a clot of blood on the leg of one pair nnd something like a cut below tho knee about an Inch long. Ho was permitted to ex amine tho trousers Evans had on In court and nt first thought them tho same, but finding no cut snld they could not be tho ones In question. A. (5. Gilbert, nn employe of tho mending bureau, corroborated this evidence as to the bloodstain nnd the cut. Ho snld thero was a tear which had been bungllngly sewn up. It hnd never been pressed, showing It to bo r:cent, as Evans' clothing was fre quently pressed. He declared tho pants Evans had on In court were not the ones. W. A. Chandler, bartender nt the West hotel, testified that ho heard Hamilton make no statement of any kind to Olflcer noonoy whllo tho two wero In tho bar room before tho defendant wns taken to the lockup.

The testimony of the medical experts had occupied tho forenoon session.' Dr. Erd- manu, professor of anatomy of the Univer sity of Minnesota, by tho aid of an articu lated skeleton and also using one of tho state's attorneys, for Illustration, showed how in his opinion tho fital knlfo thrust was delivered from behind Day and how with tho sharp edge of the blndo toward the back of tho murdered man's body a pleco of bone was chipped out of a rib. Tho state's attorneys, aided by other medical experts, put him through a rigid cross exnmtnattou, but failed to shnke him In his deductions. Dr. Oeorge Erlckcr testified as to the bruises on Hamilton's hend nfter the affray and said they might all havo been cnusod by ono blow with somo Instrument Paul Oyllstrom, a reporter who covered tho affair for the Times, testified that dur ing all the time ho was at tho West hotol Hamilton made no confosslon, nor did ho say anything about the matter.
