Iown's Governor Refuses to Name
Captain LuISc's Successor Now.
DIES MONIES, Dec. 27.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-It is now evident that Judge Ben
Mccoy Of Oskaloosa will not succeed the
late Captain Luke on the Board Of Rail
read Commissioners, and the list of candi-
dates for the position is daily being increased.
The jobbers of the state are making a
strong effort in favor of Spencer Smith
Of Council Bluffs, a former member Of the
board. 1t was announced today that Judge
Mccoy had declined the appointment, but
this was strenuously denied by Governor
Jackson, who stated that having appointed
Judge Mccoy, he would give the matter
no further attention until he received a
reply from the judge. However, it is gen.
orally agreed that Judge Mccoy is ineligible
for the position because of his present po-
sition on the district bench.
Attorney General Remley, while he has
not been asked for an official opinion, has
told the press that the Iowa constitution
could not be read but one way, and that
Judge Mccoy could not hold the place Of
fered him.
Section 5, article v, of the constitution,
says: THE Judge of the district court shall
hold office for the term Of four years, and
until his successor shall have been elected
and qualified; and shall be ineligible to any
other Office. except judge of the supreme
court during the term for which he is
elected"
Judge Mccoy has still two years of his
term to serve. 1t IS supposed that Judge
Mccoy will formally decline the appoint
ment in order to relieve the governor from
embarrassment.
Among the active candidates for the place
are W.. S. Richards, at present private Sec
rotary to the governor; j. l.. Kamrar of
Webster City, Senator Harmon of Independ-
ence and ]. M. Kemble of Muscatine. Other
names mentioned are Ex-Governor Larrabee,

children and grandchildren OF Sol
dicrs visited by santa Claus.
The event Of the whole year, from the
standpoint of the children and grandchildren
Of soldiers Of Council Bluffs, occurred last
evening at the Christian tabernacle. 1t was
the entertainment which is furnished each
year by General G. NJ. Dodge, the expenses
being paid out Of a fund which the general
has put in the hands of N. p. Dodge of this
city as trustee. The fund yields 500 each
year. and will continue to do so after the
generals death. and so long as there are any
children and grandchildren Of old soldiers
to accept their benefactor's generosity, the
fund having been made a permanent affair.
The pulpit was draped artistlcally with
the national colors, and over the front hung
a large engraving Of General Dodge. N. 4.
Dodge acted as chairman. ID. G. Bloomer
was introduced by him, and after a few re-
marks, he read the following letter from
General Dodge:

Nov be patient and wait for Santa Claus
was the way in which Mr.. Dodge introduced
the last part of the entertainment. Then
a jingling Of sleigh bells was heard outside
and a minute later Colonel E. ]. Abbott,
with all the regalia of the Christmas saint
about him, excepting the rotundity of form,
rushed in singing a ditty as he pranced up
the aisle. He was received with open hearts
by the children. He brought with him, in
addition to a speech, about half a car load
of fruit. candy, nuts, popcorn and the like,
all done up in sacks, which were thereupon
distributed among the children. Fully 400
children had to be supplied, but there was
enough for all, and each youngSter left,
when the signal to adjourn was given, with
his arms full.

Two Result from a. Disagreement us
to Commissions.

Two Result from a. Disagreement ne
to Commissions.
Rev. T. II. Cleland Of Duluth, Mimi, form
erly pastor of the First Presbyterian church
in this city, began a suit in the district court
yesterday to replevin some valuable papers
which he claims were u~njustly being with
held from him by ]. N. Cassidy, who has
been acting as his agent. DR.. Cleland loaned
out some money to various parties in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and for about twelve years ]. p.
and ]. N. Casady acted as his agents. Upon
the death of the senior members Of the firm
j. N. Casady went on with the business. OF
late DR.. Cleland has wanted to withdraw
his business, but Cassidy has refused to allow
him to do so until a commission of 81, 500 is
paid him for his services in looking after the
welfare of the property.
This dispute led to the filing of the petition
for a writ of replevin yesterday. DR.. Cleland
mentions a note and mortgage for $500, given
by Andrew Piestrup in 1885, four notes ag-
gregating SOTO in value, signed by e. and G.
w. Rollins, with a mortgage, a real estate
contract, by which j. N. Cassidy agreed to
convey some real estate to X. Mittnacht, the
contract being later assigned to the plaintiff.
and various insurance policies, tax receipts
and other valuable papers. All these, the
petition states, are being kept by Cassidy
without any authority, and he wants them,
together with $3.50 as damages for their I'M
lawful detention.
AS a sequel to this a suit was brought
during the afternoon by ]. N. Cassidy to col
lect the So, 500 which he claims as his COM
mission, from DR.. Cleland.
A. j. Stephenson commenced a suit against
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company in behalf of Thomas Fox, for whom
he acts as guardian. He claims a contract
was entered into between Fox and the rail-
way company by which the latter was to
deed him a piece of property upon his maxi
ing certain payments. He made the pay
ments, but the company has refused to make
cut the deed. Fox has been in the Hospital
for the Insane ever since January 10. 1876.

Home Journal, a New York publication, has
a Council Bluffs record. About a month ago
he visited this city and made the rounds,
securing subscriptions and dollars. To some
OF his victims he stated that he was a poor
man who was trying to get 1000 subscrib-
ers to the magazine in order to obtain as
a prize a years tuition in a business col

harvest. although Just how many victims
he secured will probably never be known.

Jail escaped last night, and so far have not
been captured. 1t is thought duplicate keys
to the Jail were secured and while the sheriff,
who is a sound sleeper, was asleep, friends
of Harry Wright, the hotel thief, opened the
door for him to walk out. A peculiar part
of the delivery was that care was taken to
leave things just as they were found, the
double doors leading to the cells and from
the corridors and the outside doors were
securely locked when the sheriff went to
serve breakfast to his birds that had flown.

New Place for Their Detention Has
Been Set Apart.
For several years past there has been a
great deal of dissatisfaction with the ac-
commodations provided for the insane pa
tients in this county. There was no place
for them excepting in the county Jail. Some
Of the upper rooms were usually vacant,
and they were used for patients who were
awaiting an examination by the commits
sioners. The quarters were reasonably clean,
but they were in the jail, and that Of itself
was not likely to work a change for the
better In the mental condition Of a sensi-
tive person. The County Board of Super
visors has been debating what is best to
be done, and has finally cam to a conclu-
sion.
