Fred Gerstenberg is gaming Il great
deal OF eLeap notoriety, and losing q
good deal OF reputation, if he had any to
lose, by his frequent appearance in police
court. Almost every month he hobs up
on It charge of d%isorderly conduct, as
sault, \ family row, or something of that
sort. Ii was a bad day for Council Bluffs
when nc was brought here and lodged in
jail for passing a counterfeit gold piece,

about the town and proved 4 constant
annoyance. Lately he has been running

The Sewer Ditch.


Il now appears the long delayed work
completed at once. AS has been stated,
the council and the contractor, Mr., Vim.
cent, have got into n tangle about the
matter. The city comedies that it has
o used the contractor fairly, but it
could not help itself very well. He has
been paid from time to time in warrants,
but there has been nc cash in the partic-
ular fund on which these warrants had
TO be drawn, and will be no cash IN that
fund until the bonds are sold which
were issued for this work. Mr.. Vincent
having about $17, 900 of these warrants
said he could not go on until he had cash
with which to pay his men. The city
wanted TO take the finishing of the work
off his hands, but he was not willing to
do this, and so the matter has been
hanging fire. The opening of this ditch,
and keeping it open, is considered
the most important part of the sewerage
system, and without that other outlets
will have to be provided which will en-
tail great expense. The people living In
that part of the city have been promised
from time to time, and have waited pa
tiently the completion of this ditch, so
that further overtlows might be avoided.
| All in all this is one of the most import
| ant enterprises the city has engaged in.
The delay on the work has not only been
perplcxing and annoying to contractor
and city, but to the citizens at large.
Yesterday Mr.. Sweeney, the foreman
for Mr.. Vincent, appeared before the
council, and told them that he WAS ready
to go to work just rs soon as the city
could provide means by which cash
could be had with which to pay the men
and teams. After some talk it was
found that it would be safe to use some
money that was lying idle IN another
fund, and which would not be needed
for some time yet, and this could be re-
placed rs soon as the bonds were sold
BY this means the way was seen clear to
go ahead with the work, and an arrange
ment was made by which the city is to
pay the men and teams cash for their
labor, and the amount thus paid Is TO be
charged TO Mr.. Vincent on his contract,
With this understanding the work has
been ordered resumed, and the ditch
will soon be opened throughout, so that
there may be no further trouble with it,
except to keep it open.
Mr.. Sweeney says he will commence
work this morning, and crowd II just as
fast as he ear get men and teams tC

The city council succeeded in getting
q quorum for n special session called for
the purpose of consulting with Mr.. Is.
Williams, of Chicago, the engineer OF the
sewer system. The result of the confer.
cncc was that ali seemed satisfied that
the plans were all right, and that the
only modification or change required
was in regard TO some details of con
struction. The substance of the confer.
M was in conformity with the views OF
Mr.. Williams rs presented in yesterdays
BEE. The council ordered some slight
changes made, and these may cause r.
little delay Ia the paving which is being
done, but no more than It few days.
Onc important matter 20 Which the at
tcntion of th" council was called was the
fact that in the plans as drawn by Mr..
Williams there appears a contour line,
showing the elevation Mt which it is safe
and cNpcdicnt TO make connections with
the house sewers. The suggestion made
is in regard TO all property lying west of
this line, or in general or palmer terms,
the suggestion affects all the so-called
bottom property, the line spoken of
btllp lilu al Nllt lou VI Jht blulS' anu
following them about. 1t is claimed that
in all this part of the city, even
where the streets have been brought
to grade, it is not advisable
to have any sewerage connection
with easements. If folks will build
easements, they must either do without
sewerage leading from the basement, or
else put in tight pipes, so that in case OF
back water there will be no flow into
the easements. This was considered i'm.
portant, for ii citizens were allowed to
build easements, and connect with the
sewers as in ordinary cases, there might
be back water, the sewerage would be
flooded into the Easements, and then the
city would be called on to pay dam.
ages. On this suggestion being pre-
scented in detail, the council passed II res
olutiOn ~instructing the city attorney to
prepare the necessary ordinance, de
scribing this contour line, and prohibit
ing the connection of any Easements
in that part of the city, with the house
sewers unless the connection was made
with tight pipes at such n height as 10
prevent any damage from back water,
There was considerable talk about the
ditch, and il was decided that for
the present the ditch, if cleared ont and
kept clear, would answer the desired pur-
poses, leaving TO future necessity the
carrying out of the rest of the plans, in
regard TO getting a clear extension to the
river.
Mr.. Williams was allowed $lt2 for
time and expenses in attending this con
ference, and was allowed the balance
due him on plans.

Another ease of bold horse stealing is
reported rs having taken place Thursday
evening right OF Broadway. Mr.. Fauer'
housen hitched his horse and buggy in
front of the ST, Louis house, and while he
was inside for u few minutes some one
boldly jumped into the buggy and drove
away with the rig, and no trace OF it had
been found up to yesterday evening. The
horse was not q very valuable one, and
was quite along in years, but the buggy
wa q covered one and a pretty good one.
There haye been several such cases here
lately, and IL seems that some trap should
be laid by when the right man could be
caught and the bold stealing stopped.

placing Gen. Grant on the retired
army list, that will yield him a
handsome income tor the remainder
of his days
That Gen. Grant has been made
n dnpe of by designing sharpers,
and financially ruined admits Of no
doubt. But he is u II x-President
OF the United States. No man who
has ever filled that chair should be
suffered to be pinched with power
ty. The government ought to he
stow an annual pension of not less
than ten thousand dollars on every
man whom they place in the Presi
dental chair during their lives.
Then they could live in comfort
and receive their friends in a dioui
fled and statesmanlike manner.
An ex-President is an object of
interest to mankind and should be
made secure against want.
Let Gen. Grant be placed on the
retired list.

From the river reports that we
compile to day, it will be noticed
that a favorable change has occur
ed during the last week.
All the upper rivers are falling
rapidly and BY the time the SENrI
MEL goes to press the fall will have
reached Memphis.
No crevasses having occurred
along the Mississippi river, b.,
which the swamps might have been
filled, the high wave now coming
down will pass rapidly into the
Gulf.
The tail in Red river will also aid
materially residents below the
mouth OF that stream, and add eel
Gritty to the fall in the main river.
The weather still continues cold
in the North and West ; it is hard
~ probable that another rise will
be had in the upper streams before
the strength of the present one will
have been spent.
