The Grand New Hotel,


A telegram from the Chicago hotel
syndicate was received yesterday afternoon
that fairly and finally settles the question of
the new palace hotel in this city, 1t was as
follows:
Raise your 10000 bonus, and we will
select our own site. We want TO begin
work next week.
The telegram was received with much
enthusiasm at the board of trade rooms, and
several of the member pledged themselves to
raise the amount. Some of the parties who
had previously subscribed, doubled their
subscriptions, and the ultimate erection of
the structure was assured. At the time of
receiving the dispatch $24, 0C0 had been
raised, one fourth of the sum having been
subscribed in the past four days.
In advertising their offer of a bonu the
board of trade asked for a $50, 600 hotel, but
after talking over the matter the Chicago
capitalists dccided that the sum named
would not build and furnish a hotel such as
they wanted, and decided upon S25O,OOO as
the price of the structure complete. Their
offer now is to invest a quarter of n million
dollars here if the city gives them 100000.
They also agree to begin work Immediately,
and hope to serve a grand opening dinner on
New Years day, 1889. The latest offer re-
lieves the board of trade of the trouble OF
securing a site, and their labors end when
they provide the $40, 600.
The MEMBERS of the syndicate are Messrs.
Secrist, Wells and Craig, and the hotel when
completed is to be run by Mr.. w. w. Watson,
q hotel man of wide experience. The out
look is very bright, and it is assumed that
1t will be but a few days after the site is
selected until work on the structure will
begin.

Wants a Fifth Trial.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Deemer lis
tened with evident interest to arguments on
the motion for Il new trial in the case of jon
athan Jones, who was found guilty of man
slaughter. The Jones case has been looked
upon for some time as a court chestnut, but
when his attorney, Colonel G.. r. Scott, of
Omaha, yesterday outlined the case as it APP
peared to him, it seemed of striking interest,
and appealing strongly to both justice and
sympathy. The general facts of the shoot
ing of Roberts by Jones are familiar to most.
The chief claim on. the part of the defense is
that Jones was insane at the time, and.he is
surely so now. He strikes everyone as being
a poor demented creature, who has no ap-
probation of his situation, and whose life Is
a wreck. Colonel Scott was his attorney
from the start, and although there is not a
dollar in the case, and no prospect of there
ever being, and although Jones is not men
tally capable of even approaching the SER
vice, this attorney bravely stays by poor
Jones, fighting for him as stoutly
as though he was getting. fat fees
1t cannot be for the sake of gaining a reputa-
ton, as Colonel Scott has long since passed
that point in his career where he needs to
thus act. He has all the opportunities which
his time and strength will allow, and there
are many demands for his services by those
who are ready and able to pay literally. For
an attorney of his rank TO thus cling to the
cause of such an unfortunate can not but ex-
cite admiration and give credit to his declar-
alton that he is making the fight in what he
honestly believes to be the cause of inno-
cent suffering and of right. Jones has been
four times convicted, once of murder in the
second degree, aud three lines of man
slaughter. The case has been to the supreme
court three times, once on a demurrer, and
twice on the merits of the case, and each de-
cision has been in favor of Jones, the case
having been twice reversed. Colonel Scott
yesterday made a strong general picturing of
the peculiarities of the case, and followed
and a careful, clear showing of the errors
which had crept into the last trial, with rea-
sons why a new trial should be granted.

Street Reforms.

Mayor Rohrer proposes to put a stop to
the disgusting exhibitions of brutality that
may be seen hourly on the streets of this
city on the part of the hackmen and bus and
express drivers. Their overworked horses
are urged along at the top of their speed,
and the drivers vie with each other in the
cracking of their whips as they actually fay
the hair off their abused animals. 1t is the
o~ft-repeated sentiment of visitors that
Council Bluffs has the toughest lot of hack
drivers of any city in the west. One draw
back to prosecuting the cases has been the
small chance of identifying the driver or
owner of the vehicles. but this will be OBJ
waited after the lst of July by an order from
the mayor, providing that the number of the
carriage must be plainly painted on the side
of the lamps, and as the lamps must all be
lighted after dark. it will be easy to identify
the vehicle whenever necessary. The matter
has been postponed until the first of next
month as all licenses expire at that time, and
the numbers will be newly granted for the
ensuing year.
The mayor also proposes to take some ac-
tion in regard to the habit of ball playing IN
the streets, that has grown so annoying of
late, and it is probable that a stop will be
put to il.

Successful Burplara.

The discovery was made yesterday MORN
ing that during the previous night burglars
had been busying themselves on Pearl street,
They had entered the storage and commits
sion house of j. h. Snyder, No. IA Pearl
street, and had broken open the cash drawer
in the Office and also opened the safe. The
doors of the safe were simply closed, the
combination not being set, so they were not
put TO the trouble Of blowing the safe, and
Mr.. Snyder will not AVE to bear the ex-
pense of patching it up. The iron box inside
was forced open after the fellows had whit
tied away at the wooden partitions. The
fellows only took money, securing about $50
in all, and carefully avoided a pair of gold
bracelets which were in the safe, and a check
which was in the cash drawer. They appar-
emily did not want anything that could be
easily identified.
On the other side of the building is d. E..
Gleason's coal office. To this they gained en-
trance by cutting O hole in the door large
enough to admit a hand, ana thus reaching
the spring lock they opened il. They cut the
top of the desk and forced open the cash
drawer, taking therefrom about IS. They
left one silver quarter in the drawer, which
was either overlooked or left to comfort the
loser.
The fellows made their exit by way of the
larger door in the rear, which was found
open just as they had evidently left IL. This
door was fastened by q paddock, a peculiar
lock which can be unlocked by giving it a
sharp, quick jerk, AS they evidently un-
fastened the door in this way, without the
use of a key or breaking any of the fasten-
ing, it seems that the work must have been
done by someone who had familiarized him
self with the details of the place very thor
ouFhly. 1t is not clear how they gained an
entrance, one theory being that they slipped
into the building before it was closed for the
night, and hid themselves there. Another
theory is that someone crawled through a
broken window, TIL presence of undis-
turbed cobwebs about this window yesterday
morning is rather against the idea
of someone having crawled through il.
There is apparently no trace left by which
the officers can follow up the thieves. The
merchants police are supposed to be watch
ing the business portion of the city, in addi-
ton to the regular city force. The fire.
quency of burglaries does not add greatly TO
the reputation of either force. The city OIL
GERS have been put to a great disadvantage
OF late by being compelled TO put on metro
politan airs in the manner of uniforms. They
are so bedecked with bright buttons and by
other paraphernalia that they are seen for a
long distance, and can be easily watched by
thieves. They in turn cannot shadow a
suspicious character. AS the city has no
special detectives or officers in citizens
dress il seems that the advantage at night is
all on the side Of the gang. III bright uni
forms must be as satisfactor for the thieves
as would be putting of u bell on. the cats

Closing Saloons.

Judge Deemer arrived in the city yester-
day morning, and the saloon cases were
taken up for consideration in the district
court. Ten cases were called and the fol
lowing seven vent by default and temporary
iniunctions were ordered issued against them
without bonds S. II. Ford, Fred Letzrnger,
Price Gibson. G. H.. e. G.. w. Ferguson,
John Dunn, John Booth and Agnes Folsom.
Attorneys appeared for Jacob Howarth,
Kittie Edwards and w. H. White, and their
cases were continued until the first of the
week.
The situation of the saloon keepers is grow
ing desperate, and several of them have an
nounced their readiness to close. 1t is very
probable that Attorney Sims will secure
either permanent or temporary injunctions
against nearly all of the accused parties, and
that the present saloons will all be closed.
The liquor men are all very close-mouthed
about the matter, and seem disposed to make
the best of a bad bargain. The temperance
folks are jubilant over the prospects and
think they now AVE matters fixed in such a
manner as to make it very rocky for the
saloon men.

Too COarSe Gravel.

Aldermen Metcalf and Lacy visited lower
Broadway yesterday to inspect the paving
and see what cause there was for the COM
plants that have been made about the gravel
being so coarse as to be unfit for use. The
gravel is furnished by Keller & Parsons, and
is obtained from the Hinton banks. The city
engineer claims that some of it is so coarse
that it will not drop between the blocks and
gave orders not to use it. Mr.. Keller wanted
the ,ity to take what had already been
loaded on the cars and agreed that there
should be no further cause for complaint. 1t
is thought all difficulty may be avoided by
using smaller screens at the gravel ped and
the city authorities so recommended.
