THE POWDER HOUSES.
A Number Of Complaints Filed
in Order to Get them to

Hurt.

The annual nervous spasm about
the position and condition Of the pow
der houses within the city limits 10
passing over the public. 1t Is q fact
that these powder houses are inside
the city limits, and the ordinance Is
no doubt being violated In some wayo
by some of the dealers. The crdl.
nance provides that no person shall
keep or stere gurpowder In any house,
store or warehouse inside the limits,
unless the same Is In . FIRE proof

Eby the mayor and chief engineer Of the
fire department, the penalty for
each offense being 800. This Is not
made applicable, however, to retailers
of gunpowder, who are not allowed to
keep more than % pounds In their
stores, and this must be kept In tin
oannisters, noL containing more than
five pounds each. All retailers, too,
are required - keep q sign on the
front of their doors, "Gunpowder for

The first complaint entered was
against Oliver s. Graham. They
claim to be agents simply fora powder
company, and that the company pur.
chased five acres In the out
skirts Of the town, and erected
in ravine fire proof
brick building, placing 1t In the center
of the five acres, thereby complying
In all respects to the law. 1t seems
that whiting q day or two there have
been n or two bricks knocked out
Of the oorner of the building, and they
intimate their belief that this was
done to help the prosecution make
out o case, and to sustain the charge
Of Its being an unsafe building. 1t IL
claimed by them that the powder
houses are as safe ~ In any
city under the sun, and that
If the council forces these
powder houses out Of the city, the
companies owning them must 60 &c
other cities to do business, and leave
Council Bluffs entirely. The ordinance
provides tor the erection Of powder
houses In the city limits, under GER
tain conditions, and the mere resolu-
tion of the council ordering their re-
moval ID not enough to repeal THU
ordinance.
Complaints we're also fled against

talked that an arrangement may be

He Scores Triumph on his First
I Appearance.
/. NEW York, October 29.-Henry Irvipg's
opening night has come and gone, only to
a ID to Mr.. Irvings already illustrious
fame. The theatre was dentely thronged,
and never in the annals Of the stage
in this country has an actor played to an
audience greater in social distinction.
This cultivated and critical house rendered
the artist a hearty greeting and at once
gave Mr.. Irving the assurance OF good will,
and during this entire play the hushed at
tention alternated with spontaneous enthu.
shsm.
lit known Mr.. Irving had expressed
himself somewhat anxious about hisre.
Ception in America. Certainly this anxiety
Is laid to rest, for never has an
actor more easily won the favor
CT an audience. A degree Of nervousness
was noticed ut times In Mr.. Irving, which
in no wise detracted from his splendid de.
lineation OF the character Of Matthias, but
really gave greater weirdness to this
already weird play Of "The Balls" Alter
each act Mr.. Irving was called before the
curtain, and with great grace acknowl.
edged the welcome which was so genu.
inely sincere upon the part Of the audience
and so deeply appreciated by himself.
