A Magnificsnt Hotel Just Opened at Lincoln, A Combination of Comfort, KEle- gance and Luxury, Lixcor, January 7, 1885, Corraspondenca of Tre Beg, The event of the New Year In the cap- tal oty was the opening of the Gorham ham house, which was thronged last night by the citizens of Lincoln and nu- merous guests. This commodious and elegantly farnished hotel would be a cred- it to any city of twice the population of Lincoln, and its projector and owner, Hon. T. ¥, Barnes, has conferred a last- ing bonefit not only upon Lincoln but upon the public genérally. Mr. Barnes concelved the idea of erecting a firat class hotel more than three years ago, and at oncs went to work to put |his design into execution. Although Mr. Barnes is a lawyer by profession and en- joys a high reputation for legal ability, he has given proofs of his capacity for architocture In the construction of the jorham house, which was entirely planned by him and bpilt under his per- sonal direction, The locatlon he chose for his hotel, on the corner of Q and Eleventh streets, is central and conveni- ent, Without attempting a detailed de- seriptlon of this structure, suffice it to say the Gorham house is a three-story brick building, constructed in the shape of a ‘‘double L.” 1ts massive stone foundations show skiltul masonry, heavy enough to sustain five or six storles. Th\n part of the hotel was bullt by Mr. B. Doane, who ranks among the best masons of this city. The exterior walls ara of pressed brick, manufactured by the contractor, Mr, Jotn Lanhan, at the Lincoln brick-: 8. The hotel offi ing and reading rooms, and blllun-d hall, on the ground floor, are arranged with reference to the central idea of conventence and comfort, The floors ara inlaid with maxlxla tilings. The grand staircase from the offiw to parlor floors in the second story, Is lighted by a stained glass skylight. The promenade on the sucond and third floors is 20x120 feet, and is intersected by nar- rower corridors, leading to the various rooms. _ Each of 100 rooms in the hotel is heated by utum -nd supplled with warm water, of them are also provided wlth ath room con- veniences. The turniture is of the most tasty and elegant deacription, and the carpets throughout are of the finest texture and pattern. The Gorham House is lighted with gas from an apparatus expressly manufac- tured by the Excelsior Gas Manufactur- ing Company, of Chicago, of which Mr. George ¥. Dewitt is the general superin— tendent, and who personally had super- vision of placing the machinery. One of the features of the hotel is the large din- ing room, 50x65, which 1s provided by six magnificent chandeliers and absorbs daylight directly through numerous large plate-glass windows. The detcription of the Gorham House wonld be incomplete without a reference to Mr. Chowlus, who superintended its construction from the laying of the corner stone to its final completion. THE PROPRIETORS AND CLBRES, The hotel will be run by Messrs. V. M. Gorham and Nat Brown, The first named gentleman is well known to com- mercial men having been for ten years proprietor of the Gorham house in Bur- lington, Iowa, and is recognized as one of the most euccesefal landlords in the west. DMr. Brown is known by almost every man in Nebroska and lowa, hav- ing served the C. B. & Q. railway in in the capacity of generai passenger agent for many yesrs and has as mapy friends a8 any man that ever carried a grip. O. . Andrews, for ten years con- nected with the Gorham in Burlington, Towa, and a general favorite, with Mr. C. L. Shaw, from the Peorla Houte in Peoria, 111 , will look after the guestsand ace that they are properly cared for and their wants supplied. This house certainly has a grand future before it and the public will soon learn that in the Capital Oity there is a hotel equaled by few and surpassed by none in the west, ELDERSAIN A Sketchof His Life by Mr, Jones, Alf D, In regard to the late Moses F.

He was early recommended to the con- ference for ordination to the miniatry and after confirmation was added to the eastern conferance of Xowa, and appolnt- od to the Yairfield disirict. From bis practical and common-sense rasnner of tllustrating his discourses he drew around him many friends. He was much re- speoted ss o winlster, and vsually assem- bled large and attentive audieuces. In consequence of hia rapidiy incrensing popularity, ho was soon placed in more regponsible positions in the church or- ganization, and was found on the east- ern border of the state of Iowa, in some of the most highly esteemed distriots and stations within the gift of tho confer- ence.

The damael was none other than the *“Wicked Irlsh Beauty,” the notorious Jennie Green. She was acreaming most vocifer- ously and using the foulest language im- aginable. Her crles and scresms might have becn heard for blocks distant. The girl had been fighting in the no- torious dive of Tom King on South Tenth street. Officer Donovan went out to arrest, and was attacked by every inmate of the house. He managed to secure the Green woman, and she was dragged un- willingly Into the street, where with the assistance of Officer Natlons, she was taken to the police station. The other inmates of the house, three notorious women, were alsolanded in jail, arrested on the charge of resisting an officer. —— Trotting Horse Breeders of Nebraska, Trotting horse breeders and fanciers throughout the state are requested to con- at Lincoln, Neb., on Tuesday, Jan- uary 20th. 1885, for the purpose of organ- izing a State Trotiing Horse Breeders association, the object of which will be to encourage the breeding of the American trotting horse in a systematic and intelli- gent mavner.

The Small Pox Patient Removed trom St Joseph's Hospital, There seems to have been some mis- anderstanding in regard to the removal of the smallpox patient from St.Joseph's hospital to the pest house. The matter was brought up in the council yesterday morning and several of the aldermen made short speeches in regard to the matter. Mayor Murphy said that Mr. Houck had been engaged to attend to the pa- tlent and a horse had been purchased for him, but he could not remove the man and attend to him alone. As yet he said, no one was found who was willing to act as Mr, Houck's assistant. Hs said that it was his oplnion tnat the pest house should always be kept in order so that it would be ready for useat any time, During the Iast sefge of smallpox in this city a telephone was put in at the post house and It was burned up as soon as the house was vacated. The city had to pay $100 for the telephone. The mayor said that he had ordered another telephone put in at the pest house and thought that it would be a good idea to leave it there all the while and pay rent upon it., Mr. Ford said that it would be murder in the first degree for one man to under- take to move the smallpox patient from St. Josepl's hospital to the pest house. Several other councilmen made remarks upon the subject and all agreed with Mr, Ford. After considerable talk the council unanimously agreed to leave it all to the mayor, and instructed that gentleman to use his own judgment in the matter and incur whatever expense he thought neces- sary. Yesterday a man was found to as- sist Mr. Houck in removing and caring for the small pox patient, and the patie was removed to the pest houss s o'clock. Thera was a vigorous protest offered by the city physician against mov— ing the patient In day-time, but it was done just the same. —— Map of Nebraska, Just Issued, in colors, showing cities, towns. rallrouds and counties.

A Few Notes in Regard to the Charity Ball, As the time draws near it is apparent that the Charity ball to be glven at Boyd’s opera house Wednesday evening, January 14th, will be the greatest soclal event which has ever taken placo in the city of Omaha, The magnitude of this affair will be beyond the power of pen to describe and the most sanguine expecta- tions will be lald away back in the shade. It is intimated that five hunred couples will be in attendance, but it is sate to predict that these figures will not begin to tell the story. The committee in charge have lssued the following circular: In order to correct a misapprehension which seems to exist in regard to admis— sions to the opera house cn the night of charity ball, the committee degira to give notice that no gentleman can possibly be admitted without a ticket, price §3, and 1o lady unaccompanied by a gentleman can be admitted at all. These tickets admit one gentleman and such ladies as may accompany him. Supper tickets $1 extra for each person. The canvassing committee are exertlng themselves to the utmost to call upon all to solicit subscrip- tions and sell tlckets, butit is manifestly impossible for them to see every one therefora those of our citizens not called upon will plesse consider themselves coedially lnvited to contribute to the fund, and tobe present at the ball. Contributions however small will be thankfully received and the donor duly credited therewith, and may be sent to any member of the canvassing commit- teo or direct to Mr. Frank Murphy, treasurer. The committee also request those who have flags, to loan them for decorative purposes. They may be sent to the opera house any time after Mon- day morning uext. The owners name should be attached and the committee will be responsible for their safe return, By Orper or raE COMMITTEE, ANDREWS' EAM TARTAR.
