THE JOINT CONVENTION.
Prospect of a Surprise for the Democracy in
the Makeup of the Board.

The joint convention of councilmen and al
dermen will occur tonight, in pursuance OF the
order of adjournment. when the question per-
tanning to the Mayors right to vote in that body
arose. AS the decision of the Superior Court has
been accepted without appeal, it is believed AL
derman Rail will take his place as chairman, and
the convention, with no further difficulty will
proceed to elect members of the hospital, i'm
provement and dispensary boards. The party
lines will be drawn with great strictness, and
there may be surprises unwelcome to the De-
mocracy 1t is understood that one of that party
has said he is tired of oossism and wants to vote
and act purely in way that will be for the best
interests of the city. A special session of Coun-
ell is also to be held this evening but it is not
probable anything will be done, as the purpose
of acting on the boundary question cannot be ac-
complished for few days. City Engineer
Shearer will not be ready at this time with his
report on this matter. The work has been COM
plicated and required close investigation of the
records and plats.

RECOVERING STOLEN GOODS.
A Woman Gives Information of the Kregelo
Robbery, Which Leads to Two Arrests.

Yesterday Charles Kregelo, the undertaken,
received letter from woman referring to the
robbery at his residence during the Hendricks
funeral She represented that she could give
him clews to the stolen property if he would sat
lsfy her that her name would not appear in the
transaction. If he accepted the conditions he
was to meet her personally or by a representa-
tive, at the postofice in the afternoon This led
to the woman going to Kregelo's Office, where
she told that gentleman and Superintendent
of Police Lang the whereabouts of the goods.
Captain Colbert and Sergeant Low were given a
search warrant but, on searching the place
designated, found that the people wanted had
moved to another part of the city. After some
search the officers traced them to restaurant
on West Washington street Here fine dol
man, which Mr.. Kregelo identified as his wifes,
was found. Mat Kennedy and John O'Hara,
proprietors OF the place. were arrested, the
former on the charge of burglary and grand
larceny, and the latter on that of receiving
stolen goods
Kennedy was arrested several years ago, and
indicted for stealing a watch from one Amos.
He lay in the Sixth-street station-house during
the smallpox quarantine at the Jail and central
station house. He was favorite among women,
many of whom visited him while he was in prs-
on. When his trial came he secured an ac-
quittal. For time he worked as a street-car
driver, but always appeared to have more money
than his wages would justify. Kennedy told
the officers that Jew robbed Mr..
Kregelo. 1t was the day of the
funeral when the Jew came to him on the street
and said II have thrown lot of Doodle into
your cellar" He went to the restaurant and
found the articles. When the robber came to
his house few hours later he told him the DO
lice were after him and he had better leave
town. He has not seen the Jew since. 1t
is known that seal-skin sacque and
a gold watch belonging to Mrs. Kreeelo
officer left for that city last night. There was
third man in the robbery and the officers have
clews as to his whereabouts He took away
part of the articles This closes the police
work in the arrest of thieves who used the Vice
presidents funeral to their advantage. Every
crook of that time. except a few pick pockets, is
accounted for as being in the pententiary or
waiting trial.

But few who purchase Pianos realize the
importance of having them tuned regularly
and of having this work done by experienced
and reliable men. A Piano, unless properly
looked after, will deteriorate and develop
metallic tone, and will fall so far below the
proper pitch as to seriously depreciate its
value. The action also requires occasional
regulating, if its best performance and dura-
bility are desired In order that our friends
and customers may have their work properly
done we keep corps of frst-class tuners and
repairers for our city work, and will send them
to points outside the city whenevera sufficient
amount of work is guaranteed to justify the
trip. We give immediate attention to all or
ders and guarantee satisfaction.

MR.. BERNHAMER'S DISCRETION.
He Proves Himself the Possessor of Good
Stock of the Article.

When Attorney Bernhamer went into the
Mayors Court yesterday morning, to attend to
the interest of his client. Mrs. Ernest Kitz, he
met something of surprise in the method
adopted by the husband to settle the case with
out publicity. There are two charges against
her-assault and battery. and disturbing the
peace. Mrs. Kitz, still at ST. Vincents Hospital.
did not appear, but Bernhamer was ready to
adjust matters, when Mayor Denny said: ''As
your client has pleaded guilty, will enter fine
of ST. and costs in each case.s
''Who says she has pleaded guilty2 have not
seen her since Sunday last, and she was not then
inclined TO make such plea"
Mr. Span, the attorney of Mr.. Kitz, says
she is willing TO settle the affair in that way.r
''Of course l canno control Mrs Kitzs wishes
IN this matter, but would like to know upon
what authority Mr.. Span. who is the husbands
adviser. and consequently interested in the
prosecution, speaks for my clentP
Attorney Span then called MIR. Bernhamer
aside and showed him paper with consent to
a plea OF guilty written by the husband and
signed by the wife. The latter's attorney, after
protesting against this form of appearance.
agreed to accept it if the paper was made part of
the record. Mr.. Kitzs attorney would not agree
TO this and the Mayor continued the case until
this morning. In the afternoon Mr.. Ktz called
MIR. Bernhamer from Superior Court room No. i,
into the corridor and said:
What did you say to the Sisters this morn
lng at the hospital, about me?r
II am sure said nothing at which you can
take offense"
You are prevaricator of the truth" angrily
replied kitz; Il could call you a liar, but don't
want to do that
Just as you please about that I have said
all have to say" answered Bernhamer, as he
turned to 60 into the courtroom He entered,
and was about to close the door, when Kitz, in
great wrath, cried out, you are liar. a -
liar" Bernhamer went back to his business
without further reply. When asked by re-
porter why he did not resent the epithet he said,
oh, did not have time to fight / was acting
as interpreter in Judge Taylor's court. and had
no time to fight Kitz."

FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS.
Business of the Concluding Session of
the international Association.
officers for the Ensuing Year Elected-Papers
on Pertinent Topics Read by Members
Suggestions Of Importance.

Immediately after the opening of the morning
session Of the international Association''of Fairs
and Expeditions yesterday paper on the sub
ject of Auxiliary Amusements at Fairs writ
ten by Thomas r. Mercein, general manager of
the Milwaukee Exposition, was read by the sec
rotary. He thought that all amusements not
directly belonging to the legitimate purposes of
fairs and expositions ''are wrong in theory and
injurious in practice" Fair managers are pub
educators and not theatrical managers.
1.-THE Benefits and Advantages to be Gained
from the Formation of Fair Circuits" was the
subject Of paper read by r. M. Lock-
hart. In which he gave something
of the history of the circuit fair
association organized six years ago at Toledo,
the main purpose of which was to arrange dates
for the holding of the Ohio. Indiana and Michi
gan State fairs successfully. Cooperative ad
vertising is one of the principal benefits derived
from the association, and it is also medium for
obtaining. with comparatively little trouble, ad
yantagecus rates of transportation for exhibitors
and persons desiring to attend the different fairs.
A report was submitted by the committee on
advertising, in which was expressed the opinion
that the success of exhibitions depends more
upon judicous advertising than upon any other
agency. The press is the most effective infu-
ence that can be used in calling attention to the
various departments of the fair or exhibition.
judici0us distribution of artistic posters is not
the least important means that can be used to
call attention to the exhibition. A good descrip-
tive writer should be employed by the manage
ment to prepare and furnish the daily press with
interesting reports concerning the attractions"
On the recommendation of the committee on
the classification of premiums, there was no ma
terial change made in the report adopted at the
last meeting held at St Louis.
A report from the committee on fees and priv
ileges was adopted, providing for the following
revenues: Stallion stalls, So; horse stalls, ST.;
cattle stalls 81; sheep and pig pens, fifty cents
to 81. In all other departments. before any space
is allotted or entrv tickets are issued, every ex-
hibiter should be required to purchase season
ticket at ST. 90. in lieu of an entrance fee, this
amount to cover all entries made by him. The
committee was of the opinion that all spirituous
liquors should be rigidly excluded from the fair
and exposition grounds. The sale of beer and
light wines, should be left, the committee
thought to the discretion of the various boards.
The committee on circuit of fairs recommended
that the fairs at Omaha West National and Kan
sas City should be held simultaneously with the
State Fairs of Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska,
and the holding of the fairs in the western and
middle circuits in the following order, was rec
commended:
