Hard to Believe
But it Is a Solemn Fact None the Less
Charlie Mull, who lives on Sixth street, just south of
Demling's grocery, was the owner of a water cart to which he drove a horse that
was rather stubborn on some occasions. The barn is situated the rear end of the
lot and right on the edge of the quarry, which is blasted out until there is a
sheer perpendicular precipice somewhere between thirty and fifty feet down. Day
before yesterday Charlie went out to harness up his steed who didn't relish the
job and began to buck. Charlie persisted and the horse kept bucking, until
suddenly water cart and horse both went backward over the edge of the rock and
down to the rocky bed below. Near the bottom the cart struck a ledge of jutting
rock and smashed literally into fragments, throwing the horse over the ledge
onto the rocks below. He arose sans cart, sans harness and with much sung froid
walked leisurely out of the quarry and across Division street as though that was
his usual route down the hill. Mull had him at work yesterday apparently as
sound as a dollar.
But Just to Say
It is but just to say that the firm of Steele & Price
were the first to place in the market articles for culinary purposes that are
strictly pure and wholesome. Their Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder has obtained
its popularity and extended sale by the purity of the materials.
In Union Township
Editor HAWK-EYE: Mr. Wm. Hunt, a farmer living about two
miles southwest from Burlington, went to his pasture a few evenings since after
some of his stock, and was attracted, by what apparently seemed to him to be a
human being a short distance from him in some tall grass and brush; upon
approaching the spot, to his great horror, it proved to be a large panther, and
which gave chase to his retreating form, but he managed to keep the animal at
bay whilst calling for his dog, which soon appeared and frightened the animal
away, and Mr. H. returned to his house a badly frightened man.
Our Cancer Treatment
After many years of study and experiment, a preparation
has been discovered which we have used in numerous cases with unvarying success.
For years we have not lost a single case, nor have our patients had any symptoms
of a return of the disease. Cancer is a disease in which personal treatment is
absolutely necessary. Usually a visit of two or three weeks to our room suffices
for a cure. Drs. Lengel & Yearick, office No. 111 1/2 Main street,
Burlington, Iowa.

THE CITY ELECTION
Four Hundred and Ninety Men Elect the City Marshal
The municipal election passed off
very quietly yesterday, nothing occurring to mar the peacefulness of the
occasion until after the closing of the polls, when high words were indulged in,
but no blows, except the insubstantial ones by words, were deal.
The superior court received less than 500 votes out of
a total of over 2500, and was consequently not established.
Marshal Hoefer received 499 votes and a plurality over
John O. Smyth, his highest competitor, of 12 votes. The whole number of votes
cast for marshal was 2306, and the successful candidate received less than
one-fifth of them. The voting population of the city is nearly 4000 and
consequently less than one-eighth of them named the winning man. It is certainly
complimentary to Mr. Hoefer to have received the endorsement of re-election at
the hands of his fellow-citizens.
Alex. Hansum was re-elected assessor by a very large
majority over his competitor, Mr. Wolverton, a gentleman of sound judgment and
acknowledged ability. Mr. Hansum's re-election is a tribute to his experience in
the office he has filled for several years.
The next city council will be composed of the following named
gentlemen:
First Ward-Messrs. John Lemberger (re-elected) and John
Niewoehner.
Second Ward- Messrs. George Kriechbaum (re-elected) and
Dr. H. Bailey.
Third Ward- Messrs. H.H. Scott and John Zaiser.
Fourth Ward-Messrs. John Darling and George Orm.
Fifth Ward-Messrs. Robert Donahue and I.M. Christy.
Sixth Ward-Messrs. John Dickie (re-elected) and John C.
Bonnell.
Seventh Ward-Messrs. David Burgess and H.N. Howe.
CIRCUIT COURT
Barhydt Against the Pullman Palace Car Company on Trial.
The petit jurors reported
yesterday and the court proceeded to call the trial docket for jury cases, and
the parties were found ready for trial in
999. T.W. Barhydt against the Pullman Palace Car company. Action for damages.
The state of facts on which this suit is based is the following: In December,
1872, the plaintiff while riding in a Pullman car between New York and Chicago
was robbed during his absence from the car, or while asleep, of a hand satchel
containing a ring, chain and other valuables. Again in July, 1874, while
traveling in a Pullman car from Chicago to Burlington, and while asleep he was
robbed of $90 in money. In 1874 he commenced this action to recover damages,
claiming that the company were liable as landlords for the property of their
passengers. The company claim that they only agree to increase the comfort and
convenience of their passengers and not to increase or insure the safety of
person or property, and are not liable for such losses. This is the first case
of this kind brought in Iowa, although we believe the question has been tried in
several other states, resulting in favor of the car company. It remains to be
seen what the law is in Iowa. The plaintiff was the first and only witness on
the stand yesterday, and the direct examination occupied all of the time to
adjournment. The case is being ably contested on both sides, and is fought inch
by inch. Blake & Hammack and Hon. P.H. Smyth appear for the plaintiff, and
Judge Rorer and Hon. B.J. Hall for the defendant.
1082. Des Moines county, for use, etc., against Christ Griggs, and others.
Foreclosure. Demurrer overruled.
1278. George H. Lane against Sarah J. Evans. Action on note. Demurrer overruled.
1382. Swan, Clark & Co. against Leon Hoffman, Action on account. Blake &
Hammack for plaintiff. Default taken. Judgment entered for $118.10.
1400. J.M. Neeley against Louis Lehman. Action on notes. Overton for plaintiff.
Default taken and judgment entered.
1401. M.M. Hamill against Herman Helmuth and wife. Foreclosure. C.H. Phelps,
solicitor for petitioner. Defaults taken and decree granted.
1413. Richard Howard against T.J. Coulter. Action for rent. Default taken.
Comfortable and Home-like.
These are the characteristic features of the Union
Hotel of this city. This house has been established nine years, and its popular
proprietor, Mr. Chris Geyer, has done everything to make his house pleasant and
home-like, thus giving it wide-spread repute. The entire building has undergone
renovation and redecoration, all the chambers and parlors having been
beautifully painted and frescoed. All these repairs with new furniture give the
house a fresh, clean and cozy appearance. The cuisine is most excellent, and
nothing is left undone to make pleasant the guest's stay at the Union. Mr. Gus
Meeke, who is in charge of the office, is a gentleman of experience and most
urbane and courteous in manner; and we say to those on their way to Burlington,
who read this notice, to try the Union, but one block south of Union depot.

Judge Drayer Sustains the Demurrers in the Quo Warranto Suits.
Yesterday 999 spun its interesting length along all day
provoking smiles from the spectators and yawns from the jurors. Judge Smythe
opened the argument for the plaintiff just before the adjournment at six
o'clock.
The following orders have not been previously reported.
IN PROBATE

1400. J.M. Neeley against Louis Lehman. Action on notes. Settled and dismissed.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SUITS.
Judge Drayer held a night session for the purpose of
hearing arguments of counsel in quo warranto actions growing out of the
extension of the city limits, which are docketed as follows:
1353. State of Iowa against president and directors of district township of
Burlington, and sub-district 3, Quo warranto, Power & Antrobus for the
state, J.W.C. Jones and J.& S.K. Tracy for defendants.
1354. State against president and directors of Sunny Side district. Quo warranto.
Power & Antrobus for the state, W. Scott Fegan for the defendant.
1355. State against the president and directors of Independent district No. 1.
Quo warranto. Power & Antrobus for the state, Blake & Hammock for the
defense.
These cases are alike, involving the same principle, and a
statement of one will suffice for a statement of each case. In the suit against
the officers of Sunnyside, then, the petition, filed on information of some
school officer of the Independent district of Burlington, sets up the fact of
the election last spring whereby the corporate limits of the city of Burlington
were extended and all the collateral facts and minutiae, and aver that the
extension of the corporate limits of the city of Burlington, by the natural
operation of law, also extended the limits of the Independent school district of
Burlington, and that so much (over half) of Sunnyside as is included in the new
city limits is an integral part of the Independent district of Burlington, and
under control of the city school board, and ask the court to come el the
defendants to show by what right they continue to exercise authority over such
portion of Sunnyside as school officers. The defendants, by W. Scott Fegan,
their attorney, demure to the petition. That is, they admit the fact of the
election and extension of the corporate limits of the city of Burlington,
but deny that the law was such that the extension of the city limits extended
the limits of the Independent school district of Burlington. Issue was joined on
the demurrer, and the arguments before Judge Drayer last night occupied two
hours, Mr. Fegan opening and other attorneys following. Mr. Antrobus alone
presented the arguments for the petitioners.
The case is the first one tried under the law of the
sixteenth general assembly for extending the city limits, and is important not
only for its local significance, but as a test case, all over Iowa. Under the
old law governing cities and school districts it was considered well settled
that the limits of an independent school district within the corporate limits of
the city were necessary coextensive with the city limits. The last legislature
amended the general incorporation act concerning the manner of extending city
limits, but made no corresponding amendment to the school law. The petitioners
claim that the one act was sufficient and covered both classes of corporations
by virtue of previous decisions. The defendants claim that the law for
incorporated cities and towns can only affect the organization of school
districts by express terms, and the omission to provide the extension of the
limits of the independent school district established now and more independent
relations between cities and contiguous school districts. This is substantially
the position of the parties.
Judge Drayer sustained the demurrers, holding that
while the annexed territory might be within the corporate limits of the city of
Burlington for all municipal purposes it was still outside the limits of the
independent school district of Burlington, and retains complete local control of
its own school matters. This is a final decision of these cases by the circuit
court, and ends the controversy, unless the city should appeal to the supreme
court. By this decision citizens residing outside the old city limits, cannot
vote at the city school election, but may vote at all other city elections.
His honor Judge Drayer opened the Circuit court in this
city Tuesday morning, after a recess of several days.
Henry Plock, a native of Prussia,
was naturalised.
The will of Elizabeth Hasnkamp, deceased, was read and
filed, and the 8th day of May was set for hearing evidence to prove the same.
LAW AND CHANCERY.
1127. E.A.Drake against Orrin W. Potter, administrator. Action on account.
Continued.
1159. J.H. Fogel against Henry Nau, appellant, and others. Appeal. Hall &
Baldwin for plaintiff, and C.L. Poor and Sam K. Tracy for the defendants. The
suit is earnestly contested on both sides and attracts considerable interest,
growing out of a verbal contract between the parties. It is tried by a jury, and
the evidence will be concluded to-day.
BARHYDT AGAINST PULLMAN.
990. T.W. Barhydt against Pullman Palace Car company. Action for damages. Blake
& Hammock and Hon. P.H. Smythe for the plaintiff. Hon. D. Rorer and Hon. B.J.
Hall for the defendant.
THE VERDICT
Under the instructions of the court, the jury retired
and found for the plaintiff, assessing his damage at $112.85, being $90 and
interest thereon. The jury awarded no damages for the loss of the satchel or its
contents. The case will, in all probability, go to the supreme court, as the
principle is one that is important to the sleeping car company, and has been
contested in several other states.
