Engine company No. 1 held their annual election of officersand banquet in their hall last evening. The elec- tion of officers was a spirited contest, but resulted to thoe satisfaction of all concerned and the successful candi- dates wore heartily cheered. The fol- lowing are the officers of the company for the ensuing year: J. W. Nichols, president; G. A. Hill, vice president; D. W. Lane, secretary; J. Rowles, foreman; George Crager, first assistant foreman; Joo Alquest, second assistant foreman, After tho election several pleasant speoches wore mado by Gen. Cowin, ex-Police Judge Hawes and others, and then the company, with their quests, numbering in all over two hundred, sat down to tables fairly groaning under tha bounteous repast sproad upon them. When the eatables began to find their way into the vacancies with which everybody had come prepared, the fun commenced also, Col. Chase and Put O'Hawes seemed to especially have it in for each other, and kept the whale company in a roar with their sallies and retorts. Tha climax was reached, however, when O'Hawes, stepping around to the Colonel's end of the table, made a neat little prerentation speech, and then hung about the othor's neck two chunks of iron at- tached to a string, and with an ac- companing inscription on a piece of paper. The ex-mayor gracefully arose and acknowledged the compliment by sayinz that the articles of jewelry thus given him were a good deal heavier than the gentleman who made the presentation. After supper there were more speeches mg excellent music by the U. P. band and Glee Club. ayor Boyd responded to a call by appro- priate remarks, and was followed by Councilman Dunham and Col. E: F.

Under the able directorship of Mr. G. F. Sauer, a number of rehearsals had prepared the club for their first appearance the unexpected token of the boys’ af- fection and esteem, and could only express h's thamks, being, to use his language, ‘‘all broke up.” Ata late hour the company dis- ersed, and thus closed another of 0. 1’8 pleasant annual ‘‘blow outs.” The engine room and hall above were both beautifully trimmed v ith flags, evergreens and appropriate mottoes. Death of James MoCormiok. and the result was & plensing surprise to all in attondance. The opening number of the programme was Mo- zart's String Quartotte, in G major, two movements of which were ren- dered by Messra, Sauers, Shulz, Cahn and Schneider. It is due to the gentlomen to say that no organization visiting our city has ever done more natisfactory work. The second move- ment was eapecially worthy of praise in the conscientious interprota- tion and unison of performance. The beautiful fugue motive followed by s ch-rminF melody taken up by the second violincello and viola, fol- lowed by the first violin was rendered with a fidelity and precision which would have done justice to the oldest profeasionals, and which was greeted with hearty avplause. The same praiso is merited by the execution of the string quartette in D. major by Haydn and the Haydn—Hummel Spmphony which closed the pro- gramme, The audience was in entire sympathy with the performers from beginning to close. Omaha may wellboproud of the suécess of this, the youngest of her musical organiza- tions, which through its own excellence has lvn?ed at once into public favor. The ‘‘Fantasil Concertante,” by Fan- conier, with flute obligato, was charm- ingly rendered. Mr. Julius Meyer's #8olo on tho flute in this selection was up tothe usual standard of a musician, whose efforts for musical culture in Omaha have been untiring since his residence in the city. To say that G. F. Sauor was the fa- vorite of the evening is to detract nothing from the praise which is due to the other performérs. Mr. Sauer isan artist on the violin whose enthu- siasm for his profession makes itself manifest in every movement, His playing is marked by a breadth and purity of tone, which is the rosult of arduous study and extraordinary mu- sical talent, The difficult “‘Air on 4th string,” by Bach, arranged by Wilhelmj exhibited his mastery of thy most difficult instrument of the or- chestra. In Beriot's ‘‘Scene de Bal- lot,” Mr. Sauer exhibited a technique which places him in the first rank of artists, He was greoted with laud applause, and at the conclusion of the number was forced to respond to an encore 8o hearty that refusal was im- possible. In the Mendelsoln trio, r. G. F. Mayer, so well kpown to the musical people of our city, sus- tained his reputation as a pisnist in a most difficult pieco. Mention must not bo omitted of Mr. Martin Cahn's excellont piano and viola performan- oes, which were all that the most ar- dent friends of that accomplished mu- Tho death of Jumes McCormick, late clerk of the Slaven house, which occurred at 3 p. m. Saturday, was wmost unexpected to all, and many of those who knew him well and held him in highest esteem did not even hear of his sickness until his remains were on their way to his old home in Covington, Ky. The deceased came to Omaha about four years ago, and was one of the losers by the big Tenth street fire, waich burned his grocery store. Shortly afterwards he broke his ankle and then had a spell of typhoid pneu- monia. It «as a second attack of the latter which carried him off, after an illness of less than a week. His wife, had been visiting relatives in Coving- ton, returned home with her sister, Miss Mollie Ingram, on Thursday, and was at her husband’s bedside up to the time of his death, He was just land.

The Royal Representative o the Frozen North in Town. His Royal Highness the Prince of Whales is holding daily and nightly receptions now at the whale pavilion, on Ninth street, between Jackson and Jones. He is accompanied by his grand chamberlain, Fred J. Engle- hardt, Esq., and his grand horald, Mr. 8. 0. Freoman, and a host of re- tainers. The special train on which he arrived lies side-tracked inside the pavilion. Those who have never seen the Prince can form but a faint concep- tion of tha immonsity of his propor- tions. On entering the handsome pavilion you see his powerful flukes, the tips hanging over either side of the car, while away to the far end of the platform stratches amass of flesh and blubber, increasing in dimensions twenty-four years of age. The remains were forwarded to Covington on Sunday afternoon by the Wabash and O, & M. roads, and were accompaniod by hs widow and sister-in-law. SWEARING FOR HIS LIFE. Neistrom on the Stand in His Trial For Murder. The prosecution in the Neistrom murder trial closed its testimony yes- terdsy morning with the examination of Dr. Grossman as an expert. The feature of Dr. Grossman's testimony was his opinion as to the cause of Pe- terson's death. After a hypothetical caso had been stated to him, having the samo fegturon an that of tho de- ocoasod, he was asked: *‘Do you con- sider that such injuries would produce doath?’ He answered, ‘I do.” This testimony goes te corroborate tho opin- ions of Drs, Leisening and Jensen, who testified that they considered Peter- son’s injuries a cause for death. Gen. Cowin opened for the defense, and placed Neistrom on the stand. The prisoner prescrved a good apposr- ance throughout his oxamination, and sworo positively as to his connection with the quarrel. He testified that Peterson struck him in the first alter- cation between them with a file blade four inches long, pushed his (Neis- trom's) father out of the shop, and used insulting language toward a sician could desire, In conclusion, Tug Brg congratulates the Philomath- oan club upon the excellent beginning which they have made in their open- ing concert of their series of chamber They have fully proved ht to bo classed ‘as one of the foromost of Omaha's musical or- ganizations, and our citizens may con- tidently expect not only gratification but instruction from the remaining performances. e Bradford, Pa.

P, Goodmas, woman, Asto whether that woman waa his mother, the prisoner did not clearly say. Ho denied going back to the shop a second time, breaking the door open, and stamping on Peterson, who was prostrate, but admitted that he struck the deceased in the first quarrel. He claimed that he struck him in self defense and upon provo- cation, This testimony directly contradicts that of Broadbent and Korsgreen, who swore that Peterson didn’t have any file in the first altercation, and also the testimony of four other wit- nessvs, to the effect that Neistrom wont back to the shop, burst the door open and kicked Peterson as he lay on the ground. It is probable that tho case will take up most of to-day, as the counsel for the defense intend, it is understood, to introduce medical testimony to broak down that of Leisinring sud Jensen. as it approaches the jaws, and sloping suddenly down to the tip of his mouth, while the corrugated ridges on his stomach look like long slashes made with a kmte. A single glance only serves to show an enbrmous pile of matter, seemingly thrown together without a system, and with no idea of symmetry; but by a closer examina- tion many points of interest are dis- covered which would escape the eye of the visitor were it noet for the gentlemanly attendants who take pleasure in pointing out the in- teresting featur:s. First comes the flukes or tail, looking something like the tail of a bass, and the visitor is inclined to imagine that it works in tho water on about the same princi- ple; but, on the contrary it lies hori- zontally 1 the water, and works with about the same motion as that seen ina scrow propeller. In fact, it is asserted that the plan of locomotion used in propellers was first taken from the motion of a whale's Hukes. come the dorsal fin and the dark skin which covers the blubber on his back, from which the whale oil comes. Thon his flipper, or steeringapparatus, which the mother uees as a refuge for her young. The ear and eye can be soon a8 you appreach the hend, and they always excite the most profound interost. To think of such a monster with an ear only about large enough to stick the end of a lead pencil in—a simple little hole through the skin, The eyo is only a little larger than the human eye, and stauds out on & projection back of the jaw. His enormous jaws are somothing fearful to look upon, and are large enough to accommodate a horse and buggy, opening to the ex- tent of twenty-one feet, In the up- per jaw the whalebone is seen, gro#- ing o long slab and fringed with bairy looking strings, which give him the appearance of having hair on his teeth. To walk slowly around the monster and examine him closely one finds points at every step that fill him with awe and wonder. The special car occupied by his offi- cers is a cozy little traveling home, The oftice is & perfect treasure room of bric-a-brac, Captain Englehardt being a great lover of sports of all kinds. There are fine oil paintings of his favorite dogs, cabinet photographs of famous wrestlers and athletes, swords, guns, harpoons and lances, and in fact everything that is neces- sary to the pleasyre of a professional oarsman sud a skillful hunter and fisherman.
