The Foast of the Parim—Details of the Ball, Last night st Falconer's hall, osourrad the first Parim ballgiven by the Nebraska Lodgs, No. 354, of the Order B'nal Breth. The ball was successfal,as & pleasurable ovent largely attended by promlnent rep- resentativos of the Hebrew society. The Parim fostival was celebrated in the same way throughout the country last night, for the first time In this clty. Before passing 10 the subject of the event itself, it may be well to mention the FESTIVAL OF TH® PURIM. The foast of Puorim, which is, In the book of Esther, stated to mean lots, from the lots which Haman, the persccator of the Persian Jews In the relgn of Xerxes- Ashasuorus, had cast to destroy all the Jews of the realm on one certain day, is annually celebrated as a day of tejolcing and metriment among Israelites. - From the time of the institatlon of this feaat, about the fifth century before Ohrlst, to our days it has no: tafled to rouse fecllngs of plessure and happiness in Jowish hearts. Amoog the many featal days speclally designated in the old “Roll of the Fasts,” as such on which 1o one must hold a fast, even for individ- ual devotion, the feast of Hannkkak and Purlm have met with the readieat ac- knowledgment, and these two have re- mained yet &s the only survivors of the long list recorded there, Parim has still a strong hold on Israclites everywhero. The chief feature of its colebration is the public reading of ths book of Esther, formerly wrltten on_parchmont s:rolle, during servics, and the sendivg of por- tions £ one atother and of charitable glfts to the poor, to let them rejoice along with the wealthior and those mora bleased with worldly gools. The B'nai B'rith itself is a benevolent zocle'y, on the secret order, comprising the Hebrew fellowship not ouly ¢f Amer- foa bat of forelgn countries as well. Lodge No. 354 was Instituted in this city last fall, THE BALL, Early ln the evening the couples began to come until when the grand march was sounded by the Musical Union or- chestra, the hall was filled by a represen- tatlon of the best sosiety cf local Jewish clrcles, Danclng, with” intermission for mupper, was continued until a late hour, in obsarvance of a programme of fifieen numbers.

The case Now goes to the supreme court, VX POPULI, Yesterday afternoon the jury in the Grabnoe case returned a verdiet, finding the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree. The verdict was raturned after hour and a kalf deliberaticn From the first there was no doubt in the mind of any man on the jury thatGrabne was guilty, and the point to be settled was whether he should reccive a sentence for murder in the first or second degree. One man on the jury was In fa- vor of hanglng him, while the other eleven thought that the fast of the evi- dence belng largely clrcumstantlal shoald mitigate the severity of the punlshment. Hence the verdict. abne himeelf, when told of the fact, appeared to be very much ralieved, as, it ssems, ho has boen afrald since his first arralgnment that he was to be havged. Mrs, Klus: trial will Dbs taken up this week, just when is not exactly known, The hlstory of the case is too well known to require anything but the brief- est review. On the 20th of December John Grabne, husband of Lusina Klusa, was found In an unconeclous condition, lying In the rear of his hooss, at the foot of a long flight ¢f stales, His leg was broken and his head had been split open, evidently by some eharp instrument, He was taken Int> the house, and the next day was removed to the hoapital, where, It Stonts “Sit Down tn Vaughav.” The Grand Trinmph of the Peo- ple's Ticket.

The electlon yesterday was a great tel- umph for the people, and demonstrated clearly that the citlzens had beoome nau- EE over the acts of the present ad- minlstration, and had determined to de- feat any asplrant for cflice who way even suspected with being tainted with the Vaughan faction, Good men who, under the circumstances might have been elected, were defeated because Vaughan supported them.

It was proven, however, beyond a doubt that Grabne had been puilty of unlawful intimacy with Mre. Klusa, and that both had been in the habit of quarreling with ths hushand. The supposition that Klusa had detected the psirin flogrante dellcto, and that they ~ had ~ rushed upon him when detected In their guilt was borne out and strengthened by the additlonally accumulatiog evidenco which finally proved oousioting. Thera is but little doubt that Mrs JKluea wil recelve a sen- tence equally severe with that of Grabne. Before Judge Wakeley the case of Mra. Margaret Ellict va the city of Omaha is on trfal. Mra. Elliott sues the city for damsges alleged to have been sustained by the action of defendant in_tearing up and not replacing a beard sidewalk ad- jacent to her property. SUES ¥OR DIVORCE, M. W. Cartie, of Omaba, sues for dl- verce from his wife, Melissa Currie, on the grounds of abandonment. Plaintiff, in her petition, alleges that he was mar- rled to his wifo at Wappalo, Iowsa, in 1876, that he hasalways treated her as a husband should a wife, but that in 1882 she deserted him without causs, and en- tered upona life of shame. She is now an outcast and seems to prefer 80 to re- main, although he has repeatedly offered to take her back into his heart and home. the support of good democrats, s well as the suppors of republicans. The elec- tion places Chrls Straub in the counell, and defeats Blacxsim, ia the third ward. [t elects E. L Shugar: and defeats Brocks Reed in the fourth, Reed among afs many friends was known as anti- Vaghan, through and through, but among those who did not know him he was naturally looked upon with suspi. cion becauss Vaughan supported him in preference to Shugart, though he kenw he had little to hope from elther one. Reed comes out of the fight cleaner than any other of the defeated candidates. His chlef purpote.was to see that some protec- tion was given citizens living west of the creek, and as Mr, Shugart has given assurance that he will exert himself o that end aleo, he takes the defeat in good natura, For alderman at large, John Bennett. the present county troasurer, is elected over Murphy—a glorlous triamph indeed, a3 Murphy was looked upon as saturated with Vaughantsm, Although this gives the rapublicans a majorlty in the councll, they get It by the help of good democrats, and it is looked upon not #o much as a party vie- tory. The membeas of the conncil holding over are Sledentopf, Mynster and Geise. The first named 1s a repub- lican. With Shugart, Straub and Ben- nett to vote with Siedentopf, the mayor wlll have but two men on whom to rely.

It appears that the membera of the firm, which has been failing for some time, in order to oscape attachment suits filed by eastern creditors in the United States court, con- fessed judgment in favor of local alleged creditors, who were re'atives. It is sup- posed that this step was but a ruse to es- cape eastern creditors and hence, on wrlts dasued fn the United States court, Deputy Marshal Allen secured the prop- erty, which ha now holds pending the decision, For alderman Fourth ward, Shugart, 462; Reed, 314.

Cuicaco, March 2, —Speaker Hainer, of the Tllinois legislature, arrived here Sunday night and has been in consultation since with a num. ber of democrats, From the remarks dropped by him it is believed that he contemptates at. tempting another sensation in the senatorial balloting this week which is none other than to urge himself hard for the senatorial nomi nation and to declare that the 102 democrats now in the joint session constitute a legal majority since the death of Representative Logan, An inspired editorial in the “‘Chi cngo Times” taking this cue gives color, to the ramor. This editorial makes the specious plea that 102 votes would suffice at this junc- ture; that It constitutes a quorum and that the democrats, can, if they desire have abso- Tute control, even though not a republican answers to the roll call, Mr, Haines' declara: tion as he left Springfield was: *'Things have got to be brought to a crisis on Tuesday.” As an evidence of the purpose of the democrats to keep the lines drawn, several republicans, who had entended journeying to Washington, failed to join either of the two delegations from this ull?‘ which have set out for the cap- ital, although they had completed arrange- ments todo 0, This is supposed to mean that the 102 democrats will be present at the roll call on Tuesday morning. If the demo- crata proceed to act upon the assumption that their numbers are sutlicient to elect, the fact remains that the |-ar|¥’ is not yet solid for the caucus nomines, but has been demonstrated that Morrison has a sufficiently large personsl Iulluwinfi to defeat any attempt to break his lines, at least be,ore he has once received the full ' party vote, 80 that in any event it is not all assured that the election would result even the alternative, that the democrats should assume to possess the power to elect, Both Morrison and Gen, Palme) have openly expressed the opi requires 108 votes to elect, ov The fact, how- ia certain from tho facts developed here to-day that if it rests in the ability of Mr, Haines to create a sensation growing out of the_present condition of affairs he will no hesitate to do eo.

CLEVELAND'S T-S8ILVER LETTER CONDEMNED, WasHINGTON, March 2. —Judge Regan makes a statement of the whole subject mat- ter at issue between the silver men in congress and Mr, Cleveland in which he characterizes eome of the latter’s declarations as most extra- ordinary and astonishing, The judge con- cludes his discussion of the question as fol- lows: *“The people of this country know,wh ever the bankers and bondholders may think, that this is an efiort to subordinate the inter- ests of the American people to & class known a8 bankers and bondholders, and tocompel the democratic president and democrats in con- gress to adopt and carey out the very policy for the carrying out of which the republican party was beaten and turned cut of power. That party was the tool of corporations and money riny and it was beaten for being so, and the dem crats do not propose to take b the old clothos of the republican party where they threw them down, The country has not yet for- gotten that in 1878, when congross was trying to restore silver to circu'ation and to prevent the retirement and cancellation of legal ten- der notes, the banks, in order to prevent this, contracted the volume of currency nearly 819,000,000 in about three weeks, threatening monetary panic for the purpose of intimi- dating congress and the president, and to B vent the passage of a measure which the best interests of the country required; and they would have produced a paniciif the secretary of the treasury had not thrown considerable money o the market to buy up_public securi- tios and furnish the necessary circulation. It is stated that they are now threatening another panicif they cannot succeed in what they want. Itis to be hoped congress will answer them by repealing the law authorizing the charter of banks andcontrol the volumes of money, or, at least, take from_them the privi- lego of issuing currency and controling its volume, We can safely dispense with na- tional bank notes by establiching in their place an equal amount of treasury motes in- stend, which would be eerviceable for all taxes and dues, and redoemable incoin at the will of the holder, and which, though not legal ten- der, would be firat-ciaes commercial paper and would have exactly the qualities tat the national bank notes now have.” ———— IOWA MUNICIPAL ELECTIONF, Dis Moixes, ‘Towa, March 2,—The aty election here to-day to fill the vacancies oc- curring in the cily council was quite spirited, For alderman at laree, Col.

That means disaster to many horse owners, who ha consequence of last season’s wonderful brisk. nees of business on these tracks made arrange ments for devoting themselves next summer to thia rich field, Coney island has been a place with laws unto itself, However, by some hook or crook, the Brook'yn authorities have jurlediction there, and there are those that decree that pool wllin;i must cease, The Coney island jockey elab had cometo take the place made vacant when all gambling except that of bookmaking was suppressed at Jerome park. The fashionable folks, professional gamblers, Wall street brokers, and the great throng that go to the races to bet a few dollars on the results all transferred their allegiance to the Coney Teland track, and it became the most prosper- ous of all castern racing places, The vrofits of the afeoclation have been very grost, and they have bees lo, therefore, to offer very autractive purses, and to make it very pleas 5 ] ant for the patrons of the track, The pools eold frequently amounted in the aggregate to 81(0.000 a day, and the races attracted most «killfal book makers, and the adroit gamblers, that frequent cur tra The utmost order and dacorum were ob Probably if the Coney Island Jockey were the only racing association on the 1sland, the good folks of Brooklyn would not have ruised a rumpus, but the Boghton Beach s wociation began operatioss and then com- Plaints began to pour in, The races on this track dely description of comparson, There 18 nothing like them elsewhere in this broad land, They are run to make money and for wo other rerson, and there is all sorts of trickery and hippodroming from the beginning of the race day to the end of it. Betting is fast and furious like the pace of the horees, and the pool-sellers and book-makers are up to every artifice that is known to man to beat the man who puts in the moat ks, his cah, Otder is not preserved, and there is & demoralizing air of sin, vice and crime about the plsce. Women, and there are many of them there that are not from the chrstian houses of Brook'yn or the aristo cratic avenues of New York, They are sporting women and _they Lot with equal freedom and abandon as do the men. hey are on the lookout for adventures and for victims. The track deserves some of ita bad reputation, but not all, though 1t_has boen bad enough to furnish some ground for complaint, and the authorities have decided that the law of gambling, which in New York is mow very strict, must be observed, To that end the place on Coney Island, where a fow days ago poul-sellers were selling on the New Orleana races have been closed, the proprie tors arrested and fined, and a general warn- ing has been given to all racing associations, that a like fate swaits the first man who sells an auction or mutual pool. Games of chance are all to be surpressed, and objectionable houses are to ke closed. In short, Coney Talaud is to be run this year on strictly moral principles, RAILKOAD RACKET Sr, Louts, March 2.—An application was presented in the circuit court this morning for an injunction to restrain Gou'd and other di- rectors from voting at the annual election of officers of the Iron Mountain road, on the ground that Gould and other officials of the Missouri Pacific had obtained stock of the Iron mountain road by means of a conepiracy. 1 the court sustains the injunction only nine huvndred shares of Iron Mountain stock will be left free to vote at the meeting.
