Mayor Maloney and city Treasurer True who went to Ues Moines to assist In en couraging the. members of the senate to ote fur the terminal tax bill, returned very much disgusted over the fight. The vote of Senator Smith of Shelby countv brought down the wrath of tha Bluffs men particularly. In the federal court, yesterday. Judge Bmlth McPherson granted tha application of the plaintifr In the suit brought by Henry A. Van Brunt against the Pontlac t.'arrlsge company to remand the case to the dlt.trl.-t court. The ault was originally started In the district court and was taken to the federal court by the defendant, a non-resident corporation. The choir of the First Congregational church, to the number of about thirty five, was delightfully entertained at the parronage by Dr. and Mrs. Smith Thurs oay evening after the rehearsal. Mrs. P in lth had arranged an Impromptu pro gram of songs, guessing contests and good stories, which filled up an hour or more with Jollity, and then the guests were served with lee cream and cake.

He left the 13 cents as a reminder that It la also unwise to leave money unguarded at this time of year. Captain Telfer had left his cash in the trousers he wears when he la not fighting flreH at night. The thief was very discriminating. He picked out Tel fer's trousers and did not molest those left equally carelessly by the other men. There was money in all of their pockets and some of them had considerably more than the captain. While trying to burn up the rubbish that had accumulated during the winter, fire started on the premises of Mike Blervih at 1712 Fourteenth avenul, crept into a shed and burned it and also a small barn ad joining before the firemen could reach the place.

Wright Makes An nouncement at Water Hearing. COMES DURING FIGHT AT HEARING Prospect of l.onK Drnna Ont and Ei pensive llenrloir May Influence a llrrlelon-More Testimony Con cerning ( ! r net Inn Cost. , ferler was thrown on; yesterday after noon during one. of the heated periods of controversy that have marked the proceed ings of the waterworks condemnation court, amounting to a tentative proposition to sciept J7X.0O0 for tho Council Bluffs water flcnt an It ptanrts today and thus end the pfn.ilng expensive litigation. The air of the court room was charged with the emanations from disturbed and often angry minds, snd the proposition, cautiously made by George fi. Wright, who has always been the confidential legal ad viser of the water company fell on unheed ing ears. Not tha least particle of attention wao paid to It. The proposition cams during the course of a long and wearisome wrangle over the admission of evidence of cost of the plant of an original note book kept by Engineer Harry Rlrkenbtne, who drafted the plans of the water system and supervised their execution. This' evidence was of precisely the same character as that which had been objected to by the city's legal advisers when the water 'company's lawyers at tempted to show by Engineer Blrkenblne the contents of the original contract be tween the water company and the Ameri can Construction company, the attorneys for the water company claiming that this contract had been lost. It was being strenu ously objected to by Attorney Kimball and Tir.ley for the city, when Attorney Wright made the potent remarks. Made In flood Faith. Later asked If the proposition was made In good faith. Mr. Wright said: "Of course It was." "Have you any authority to make such an offer?" was asked. "I have authority to say that we will consider a proposition to take r00,000 for the plant," replied Mr. Wright. The report that such an offer was made spread quickly about the town and called out many favorable expressions. Indicating that It would be a wise thing to do. The condemnation court Is coating about MOO a day and the lowest estimate that tha city has placed upon the bill of costs tha taxpayers will have to pay is $10,000. Then months may elapse before the matter is definitely settled and the plant finally turned over to the city.' In the meantime the same paralysing conditions will pre vail and will grow worse dally. Ona busi ness man, who refused permission to use his name, said It would ba to the city's best Interest to accept such a proposition and get action on the work of reconstruc tion of the plant at once. "My insurance Is costing me ' $100,000 mora than It did five years ago," he said, "and I want to see this nightmare dissipated at once. I be lieve the acceptance of such an offer will save the city $o0,000." . . ) Blrkenblne on Stand. Engineer Blrkenblne was on tha stand all day yesterday and during the afternoon was called upon to show by his private booka and penciled data the original cost of the water plant up to the time he left Its management which was practically liSO. and it was this data that counsel for the city objected to. His penciled record, which he swore were made at tha tima tha work was done, showed that the total cost of tha plant up to 1890 was $344,941.11. This Included tha expenditure of the money realised for the $150,000 second mortgage bond Issue made In ISM that was actually expended upon the betterment of tha plant, approximating about $50,000 and Included the third subsldi LI V rlArfnlr at-. ' Broadway pumping station and the Intake pumping station on the river bank at the end of Thirt'-'venth street. The record was vary Interesting for the purposes of comparison with the estimates of cost mH. hv ,n " J. " . '" " "" " si various nines, including the last made by Engineer Bums-and those made by the company's engineers for usa In the present hearing. Mr. Blrkenblne' record showed that the Broadway reservoirs et tt im bj v. - estimate for the city was 63.709.!?: Mr Birkenblne's data showed that the cost of the Falrmount park reservoir was $L"9,C34. 49. Mr. Buina Disced Its .t .t !., , x,l Placed Its cost at -so"1 Mr- Burns eatimated the building at ,ne Broadway pumping station at $U.li9.48,nnd Mr. Birkenblne's t figures showed that It actually cost within $100 of that amount. Mr. Birkenblne's data showed that the cast or tha cast and wrought Iron pipes , was $133,640.45. Mr. Burns' figures totaled $117,251.95. Birken blne's record showed the cost of the spe cial castings to be $5,258.44 and Mr. Burns figured them at $4,308.30. Totals -Not Far Apart. The figures, so far as they were di vulged. Indicated that the totals were very close to tha estimates made by Mr. Burns and that the grand total would ba about $"0,000 for the actual cost of the plant !up t0 th clo of 1889. The additlona made to the plant since then must be added. Mr. Burns' total valuation of the plant, after all deductions and deprecia tions during thirty years of use, was $418,000. The question of admitting this testimony was being argued when court adjourned yesterday afternoon. One feature of Mr. Blrkenblnea testi mony that finally got before tha court, but weighted with the objections from coun sel, ni that the American Conatructlon company received for Its pay the full isaue of $iKl,0iX first mortgage bonds and $25o,0uo common stock. The testimony of Mr. Blrkenblne brought out another very In teresting fa,t ,m .
