A Rush of BOYS.

When the recently organizsd assocla.
ton for helping the boys was put into
active operation, 1t was intended simply
to provide work or homes for destitute
boys. The simple plan was hit upon of
having such boys leave their names and
addresses at some business office, and
then anyone wanting a boy could apply
there. Judge Bond and Mr.. Sibley, the
coal man, whose offices are under the
Citizens bank, kindly consented to take
the names of such boys. Col. Hogeland,
in his enthusiasm, however, did not seem
to make the plan quite plain enough,
and the boys getting an Idea it was some
sort of a society, and that all who wanted
ribbons and big dinners should go there,
the opening of the Office was accompanied
by such a rush OF boys as has never been
seen before. Boys of all conditions In life,
of all sizes and ages, of all colors
and garbs came stormlng in to get blue
ribbons and join whatever SORT of a
''hurrah" there might be. Poor Judge
Bond was nearly driven wild, and sought
rest by getting out of the office, after
wrestling with names and addresses, and
asking questions for a few hours, and
Mr.. Sibley, with all his business GOODNESS
and tact, was beaten out. The press of
the city was appealed to that the rush
might be stopped by announcements that
only needy boys need apply. The plan
begius to be better understood now, and
promises to run not only smoothly here
after, but to result in giving practical
help to those who need 1t so greatly.

COUNCIL BLUFFS
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
THE COUNTY BOARD,
The Probability That They VIII Cali
a Special Election.

The county board Of supervisors held
no regular session yesterday, and took
no formal action In regard to the new
court house, but 1t is understood from
very good sources that they will probably
call a special election and submit the
matter to the people. One Of the great
reasons warranting, In fact demand ng
such action on their part, is that officials,
sworn to look after the interests Of
the county, they find that
no facilities are at present
afforded for doing the county's business,
and no safe place is provided for the
records and papers, affecting the title of
every inch Of property In thu county.
They feel that they must either
have fire proof vaults or a new court
house, and that by submitting the matter
to the people, they will only perform o
plain duty. Another fact stsres them in
the face, and that il tina. 1t becomes ap.
parent from yesterdays meeting that
Council Bluffs paying two,ffths of the
county taxes, a majority of the taxable
property through it's representatives are
in favor of a special election, and a new
court house. The board is made up of
men of pretty good stuff, and if they are
thus convinced, as they seem to be,
that it is their duty, as well as the Will of
the people, to have d special election,
they will surely call one.

money trading in the fluctuations Of the
stocks. He did 1t by buying entire
railroads, recognizing them, water
ing their stock, consolidating
them, and putting them on the
publicata an advance on first cost
or cost TO himself. His gigantic schemes
have been originated by him. The the
oty has been to get possession of bank
rupt roads and consolidate them and give
them the appearance of prosperity. The
Wabash system is made up of some
twenty different roads, not more than
three of which were paying running ex-
penses when Gould bought them. Yet
he threw them together and ran the
price of preferred stock up to so, and the
common stock up to 60, at which prices
the public relieved him of them and put
up ftesher jobs, His amalgamations and
his consultations have been on a most
stupendious scale; and have demanded
the output of millions; but they have

UNDER A PILE HAMMER.
A Workman Driven Through a Bridge
and Into the Mud Five Feet-The
Body Deserted.

VIcKsBURG, MISS, June PA letter
from Captain A. ]. Stevens, of Doherty's
Ferry, on Sunfower River, says singular
accident occurred on Goose Lake, about
fifteen miles from that point Monday. Cap
tain Jackson, of Murfeesboro, Tenn, was
building bridge across the lake. When
near the center one Of the guy ropes to the
pile-driver parted, dumping the heavy
hammer into the lake, about twenty feet
up the bridge. AS it fell it struck one Of
the :, workmen and crushed him
Though the bridge into the lake,
where the water is about eleven
feet deep. Captain Jackson constructed
cofferdam and lowered it over the hammer,
then procuring a large liftpump drew the
water out of the same. When the hammer
was secured and the bottom side
was bloody, it was supposed that
the body of the workman was un-
der it, the hammer having buried itself
about five feet in the mud and had to be
dug out. About the time the hammer was
secured the body was abandoned. The ham,
mer was restored to the driver, and the
bridge work goes on as usual.

Douglass being half a length behind.

4" Military Assignments.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-It is expected
that the recent graduates at West Point
Academy will be assigned to the various
regiments when Secretary EAdicott returns
to Washington next week. There were
thirty mine graduates. At the present time
their exist fifty -four vacancies among the
officers of the army, of which sixteen are
in the cavalry branch, seven in the artil-
lery, twenty mine in the infantry, and two
in the engineer corps. After the assign
ment of the West Point graduates, the
non commissioned officers, who have passed
the examinations by the Boards con-
vened by the various departments, will be
assigned. Twelve men were ordered before
Examining Boards. 1t is believed that six
ofithem have successfully passed their ex-
animation. 1t will make total of forty
five men to be eassigned, leaving nine vacan-
cies to be filed. The question has been
raised whether or not these vacancies will
be filed by civilians, or be allowed to re-
main untitled until the graduation of the
large class of 80 at West Point next year.
IL is thought that the President will ap-
point civilians to the positions, and allow
Congress toprovide for prospective gradu-

this, for since the war no attempt at i'm

they should be obtained. The ball of war

3. Plans for New Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, June GA number of
plans and specifications for the new naval
vessels provided for at the last session of
Congress, have been received at the Navy
Department. In the circular calling for
the plans and proposals Secretary Whit
ney specified that they should be submit
ted by July 10. The circular called for
plans for four vessels. The Bureau of
Construction and the Bureau. of Steam
Engineering of the Navy De-
partment will submit plans for
them all, the former for the hulls and
the latter for the machinery and engines.
1t is not known that any other source will
offer plans for the entire number. Several
plans for single vessel will be submitted
by navel officers, and it is expected that
plans will be received from ship. builders
Naval Constructor Mintonye of the Brook
lyn Yards, will furnish plans for three
vessels. The first is to cost about 81 ,500,-
600, to be 1856 feet by 4S, and to run 1S knots
per hour. Her armament will consist of
81 guns, and she will carry about 400
men and officers. The second vessel
will be 1925 feet by AS feet, and her battery
will consist of 1S. guns. The third vessel
will be 225 feet by SO feet, carrying an arm
ament of fourteen guns. The vessels are
modelled after the English cruisers. The

formance of the circus here yesterday,
Samson, large elephant, became infuri-
ated and turned upon the 5000 persons as
sembled under the canvas. He tore up the

havoc. generally. Women tainted, child
rem screamed, boys climbed trees, and a
general stampede followed. The enraged
elephant, after clearing out the canvas.
made break for the woods near by, and
mired himself in an adjacent swamp. Af-
ter much difficulty he was extricated, but
five bullets were shot into his hide to tame
him. Amid the panic numbers of limbs
were broken and property lost and dam
aged. No fatalities occurred.

RELIGIOUS RIOT.
Serious Trouble in a Polish Catho-
lic Congregation.
Two Men Killed and Many Woundcd-Thir
teen Of the Rioters Under Arrest.

TOLEDO, o., June 2s.-This afternoon a
bloody riot took place at a Polish settle
ment situated near Locust and Dexter
streets, between two opposing factions of
the ST. Hedwig's polish Catholic) Church,
wherein about hundred men, women and
children participated. About week ago
an! attempt was made to blow up the house
ofssthe Rev. Lewandowski, pastor of the
church, and a member of the congregation
by the name of Dalkowski was arrested
for so doing, and placed under bonds A
saloon-keeper, named Peter Zelaszkiewicz,
went his bail, and he was subsequently re-
leased. Bad blood seems to have been en-
gendered by this act, as both were enemies
ofthe priest. This afternoon crowd gath
cred in Zelaszkiewicz's saloon, and de-
nopnced the saloon keeper for going
Dalkowski's bail. A little scrim-
mage followed, and while the men were
ripe for riot they attacked Dalkowski's
house, which was near the saloon. In
few moments the crowd, thor
oughly maddened soon demolished the
house, destroyed the furniture and badly
bruised the inmates. Dalkowski was hor-
ribly beaten with clubs, and died shortly
after. The crowd, which had been in
crehsing in numbers, then attacked Ze-
laszkiewiz's saloon, completely wrecking
it. A looker-on by the name OF Martin
Dobrowolczki, was shot through the fore
head and instantly killed. A number of
the deceased mems friends were also badly
used, two mon sustaining serious in
juries Mrs. Dalkowski and another
woman were injured, but not dan
gerously. At the police station tonight
there are no less than ten cots in use for
the wounded and homeless ones. Thirteen
Polanders who took part in the bloody af-
fray have been arrested. The name of the
murderers can not be ascertained tonight.
The congregation has for long time been
at variance on the question as to whether
the priest Father Lewandowski, should be
removed or not. On account of this state
of affair bad blood has been existing be-
tween the priests friends and his opposers.
At late hour tonight the Coroner is pre-
pairing to hold an inquest on the bodies of
the murdered men. The scene of the riot is
over two miles from police station, but a
force of policemen was on the ground as
soon as possible, and arrested twelve or
fifteen of the leading rioters and jailed
them. Not less than one hundred men,
women and children were engaged in the
fight. A force of policemen were detailed
to keep the peace for the night, but the ex-
citcment is intense, and more trouble is eX-
pected.

Cholera Less ViruIent,

VALENCIA, June 26.-The latest reports
show that cholera is spreading, but with &
tendency to beless virulent. The mortality
in the port Of Grao and the neighboring
township of Cabanes is alarming. Among
the victims is an English sailor on board
the British ship Ross, bound for Bilboa. A
large proportion of cases are dry cholera,
with little or no diarrhea. To-day one
hundred notabilities of Valencia were rein
