CITY COUNCIL.

The regular meeting Of the city fathers
was held at the Council Chamber last eyen-
ing. A petition was presented, signed by
many prominent citizens OF the Third and
Fourth Wards, asking the Council to vote
funds to aid in completing the large clock
now being placed in the tower OF the Ger
man Catholic church, on Broadway. The
petition was referred 10 the appropriate
committee. Another petition was presented,
signed by sundry Taxpayers, praying
that certain salaon, in the
second story Of the large frame
house on Cherokee, between Third and
Fourth streets, he abolished AS nuisance !;
that it was believed to be l. gambling den,
and n house Of i'll repute generally. The
Council then INDUCED in little controver-
sy as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF allowing frame
sheds to be built in the business portion Of
the city. The matter was finally referred
to the committee on Fire Department. The
committee on Streets and Grades reported
that hereafter the wages of street
laborers should he SI.25 per day. 1t
was also deemed advisable TO erect a cul-
vert On Fourth street in order to facilitate
the building Of the macadamized road from
the city to the penitentiary. Bids were re-
ceived from various parties in regard to
building fire-proof vaults::in the lower story
Of the old market house, for the safe storage
of the city records. The bids were finally
laid over for the consideration of the Com.
mittee on Markets. After listening to the
reports OF the various committees and trans
acting routine business, the Council adj
journed.

CONTINUED FLOODS.
TempestuOuS Torrents Still
Sweep Over Iil-Fated Mis-
souri,.
Great Damage Done on the North
Missouri and Hannibal l. s..
Joseph Railroads.

Reports from the Western parts OF Mis-
souri, state that the effects of the late
storm are terrible, and that the devastation
is widespread. The destruction along the
lines Of the various railroads is unusually
great, and westward travel has been great
ly retarded In Kansas the storm had lit
tie effect, comparatively, except on the
Atchison & Nebraska road, near the river,
where there were several wash-outs. Heavy
damages are reported on the Rock island 4
Pacific, between Atchison and Plattsburg,
and on the main line OF that route at Gal
latin, a large bridge has been swept away,
and as consequence there has been no
through Chicago mail since Satur-
day last. A through train
is expected TO arrive to-day. On the St.
Louis, Kansas CITY X Northern road, be-
tween Salisbury and Keetsyille, five miles
OF track have been washed away, and no
through trains have been run ON that road
since Friday. At last accounts, large
bridge near Salisbury was momentarily ex-
pected to 60, and if il succumbed it was es-
temated that it would be fully three weeks
before thorough repairs could be made.
On the line of the Hannibal and ST.
Joseph Railroad, large bridge near the
Charlton river near Palmyra has been car
ried away, and all the transfers are now
made in skiff. 1t will be some time be-
fore that damage can be repaired.
The grain and corn fields throughout
those portions of the State of Missouri lying
along the railroad lines have suffered severe
ly, and the damages cannot easily be esti-
mated. These devastating storms are be-
coming alarmingly frequent, and each time
the loss foots up larger than that which fol-
lowed the footsteps OF the previous one.

IMPORTANT
To the Travelling Public.

1t is the duty oil all persons before start
ing on a journey, Ia ascertain Ivy what route
they can reach their destination with the
least trouble. and If there are two or more
roads leading 10 the same point, 10 decide
which is the safest and pIeasantest TO trav-
81.
We take pleasure in stating that the Chi
cage X Northwestern Railway is the Oldest.
and several miles the shortest, between
Omaha and Chicago. Within the past two
years the road bed has been put in admira-
bile condition, and almost the entire line has
i.ccn rclaid with steel rails.
The depot in Chicago scentrally located,
and a their trains arrive there thirty min
Utes in advance OF all other lines, passen-
gers can always bo sure of making eastern
connections. For all points in northern
and northeastern Iowa, you should purchase
tickets via Marshall, Cedar Rapids, or
Clinton. For points in northern Illinois or
Wisconsin, via Fulton; and il you are 60

The Colorcd Mans Friends.

L. S. Grant has always been devoed
friend to the colored man. He has on all
occasions defended his rights, and cooper
ated with the Republican party in endeav-
oring TO secure the passage OF the civil
rights bill. When an officer in the army,
he was true TO the principles OF the party
of freedom, and seemed to anticipate COM
ing events by standing by the slave, at a
time when no one did it through motives OF
policy. And since he has resided in the
White House, the same fair, manly and
noble course has endeared him TO every
black man. When it was fashionable in
the South to skill niger" for the fun Of
the thing, the President determined to put
a stop to that kind of fun, and, with the
help Of Congress, in short time he con-
WINGED the Ku Klux Klans ard White
Ieaguers that the colonel man had a few
rights which he intended to have respected
To these acts in support oil the l4th and
18th amendments can be traced the respect
in which President Grant is held by all oil
those men, who early identified thenselve.
this feeling of .dmirsticn that induces
such men as Wendell Phillips TO support
Grant for third term. They evidently be
lieve that with him the country is safe, and
the rights of the colored man secure. Mr.
Phillips undoubtedly is one OF those mer
who think tina; we'll enough should be LEI
alone, and he favorsasen. Grant for third
term because his administrators thus faI
has been marked By wise and judiciou,
counsels. =

MONTGOMERY QUEENS
Caravan, Circus and Menagerie Grand
Triumph Success Unparalleled Will Ex-
hibit at Leaveuworth, Monday, July 18th.

hibit at Leavenworth, Monday, July 18th.
We copy from TIE Daily Chrnicie, San
Francisco:
The elegantly appointed show of Mont.
gomery Queen spread wide its doors nearly
ten days ago, and the citizens OF San Fran,
cisco have not only patronized it extensive
", but have been most lavish in Its praises
Our city has had many fine and really mer-
itorious circuses, but none, We believe, in
connection with a menagerie, that can beal
any comparison to Mr.. Queens magnifi.
Gently appointed show. The menagerie,
which is in itself worthy of days study,
has been augmented by many elegant new
features. The giraffe, especially, being the
first and only animal OF its kind ever
brought to this country, deserves particular
attention. The little baby lions, OF which
there are seven, are great curiosities, and
attract the ladies and children. The collec.
ton of wild beasts il large, and the ami
mails and cages are in most splendid condi.
ton, and we congratulate Mr.. Queen for his
success in wintering over in California
The circus department, which always had
a tendency to draw, is one Of the most per
fectly appointed and richly dressed shows
that has ever appeared in this city. The
riding OF Charles Fish, Miss Mollie Brown
and Romeo Sebastian have created a circus
enthusiasm that was never before witnessed
on this coast. The other acts, many OF
which were entirely new to Us, have an &C.
ceptable freshness that is pleasant to con-
template. Mr.. Queen has exhibited most
excellent judgment in the selection of his
double troupe Of artists, and it certainly
seems to us that he has left nothing undone
that experience could suggest and money
purchase to make his establishment the
finest and best. We predict in all the
interior towns and cities of California in
which he will exhibit, an ovation tina;
will exceed anything ever witnessed on the
Pacific slope. We understand that James
Robinson, the great bareback rider, will ap-
pear in few DAYS in Mr.. Queens show.

McNUrT AND WINNER.

day Of June, 1874, McNutt and Winner
provision, in fultillment OF the sentence. the
governor Of the State is required to issue hi,
warrant for the execution OF the condemned
after the expiration OF a year and a day
The 3oth day of June, 1875, was their
fateful day. Let the governor issue hi,
warrant for their immediate execution, OF
else let the Legislature abolish capital pun
ishment. A neglect upon the part of 3
high official to execute mandatory law
lessons the respect and even fosters public
contempt for all law. The sentiment il
universal that Winner and McNut
richly merit and should receive the full
penalty of the law, for the annals Of crime
NAV lie searched in VAIN Tor a more
cool, deliberate, fiendish murder: but vel
the public expression is that the law will
not he obeyed, forgetting apparently that
the Governor has no option. These unhapp,
men should be executed at once, or their sen
tence Of death should be Immediately com
muted to imprisonment Tor Life, AS il would b,

for heightened time under the horror o.
this great darkness No one can fully APP.
preciate the cruel position of our executiv,

they will reuiain for the remainder OF iheii

UNDER THE WHEELS.
Charles E. Seward Run Over by the Cars
and Killed-A Sad Accident Coroner S
Inquest.

Charles E. Seward Run Over by the Cars
and Killed-A Sad Accident Coroner
Inquest.
Charles Z. Seward, yard-master, was
yesterday morning run over and killed by 4
freight train near the St. L., X. c. q y. T.
II. depot. An inquest was held by Coroner
Dr. Trevor, and the following testimony
was elected 4: the examination OF parties
who witnessed the sad accident:
Edward l.. Barry, fireman, stated upon
oath, that about twenty minutes before
eight O'Clock yesterday morning the de-
ceased wasswitching off bcx-cars from a
freight train, and while so doing he fell and
caught Oh the brake-beam. Witness heard
deceased scream and saw his hat fall. In
company with the engineer, witness at once
went to the scene OF the accident, and found
Seward lying on the track, his body cut
completely in two.
Horace Delvin, engineer OF the switch en-
CINE, stated that Seward came to him and
told him he wanted to switch out some box
cars for the Denver road. Witness drove
his engine down by the Missouri Valley
Pork House, brought in an empty car, and
came down and coupled on loaded car
and switched on to another track; then
pulled over the switch, and stopped till the
switch was up. The fireman then gave the
signal to the engineer TO 90 ahead. He
started, and the fireman called TO him that
he believed Ed. was caught. He then re-
versed the engine and stopped it as soon as
possible. He then went along with Berry,
the fireman, and found that the car had
passed over and cut the body OF Seward in
twain. After he gave the signal to go ahead
he went between the cars TO uncouple, and
met his death.
J. E. Boatwright testified as follows ::
The cars were switching about thirty or
forty feet from where was standing on my
coal car, in the act OF throwing the coat
out into the co.,, shed. When | heard the
cry, turned my head quick and saw the
deceased, Edward Seward, ard that his
body had been cut in two. The deceased
was in good friendship with all the en-
ployes, so far a. ever knew.
In accordance with the above facts the
jury, composed of Messrs. b. Patton, James
5. McClintock, John Condor, James p.
Rennard, Michael Tierney and Anderson
Cook, returned verdict that the
deceased came to his death by acct
dent in the discharge of his duty as yard
master, and that, from the evidence, no
person can be blamed for the accident
Mr. Seward was an honest, hard-work-
ing man. He was universally esteemed
and respected, and his sudden decease will
he deplored BY all who knew him. He was
thirty-two years of age and leaves wife
and one child lie was 4 native OF Ohio,
and resided in this city two years. He was
