ADAMS AND BOYD. An Tnferview with te Mayor Régard- iog the Pending Negoliations with 1he Union Pacific, ‘What the Union Pacific is Obligated to do Under its Contract. A reporter of the Bee called upon Mayor Boyd last evening and asked him if he had read the Interview with Mr. Calloway In Sunday morning’s Republic- an, He said he had, and that so far as he was concerned Mr. Adams was at liberty to publish hls second letter. This he could have donewithout his (the mayor’s) consent. Mr. Adams has a copyof the letter, and can give It to the printer, or the mayor says he wlll farnlsh a copy for publication if Mr. Adams writes him to that effoct. But as Mr, Adams declined any further controversy and lett the matter in the hands of Mr. Calloway, tho mayor eays he took {t for granted that the letter was not to be given publlcity. The mayor farther says, “*Mr. Cal- loway makes a proposilion in that Inter- view which would be perfectly satfsfac torty toall concerned. Ho says, ““Across the foot of Tenth street. a few feet wost from the present depot site, a unlon depot will be bullt, and the transfer I ELOQUENT EULOGIES. Tender and Tearfal Words Speken to the Memory of General Grant, Personal Oharacteristics of the Dead Hero—Kulogies by Gen, Howard, Hon, J, M, Thurston and Oth- ers—Memorial Services at the Baptist Church, Liast Night, Last Thursday morning, on the cool and lofty heights of Mt, McGregor the splirit of Gen, U. S, Grant passed from lta earthly tenoment forover, and In rever- ence to his great nama the nation Is now draped in the emblems of mournful sorrow. Yesterday from every pulplt in the land touchlng, tearful and tender appenls of sympathy for his grlef strlcken widow and her weeping chlldren were pro. nounced, In the various churches of Omaha prayers were cifered and sermons preached on the life and death of the rand old commander. At the First aptist charch, corner of Fifteenth and Davenport streets, accordlng to previous announcement, memorlal church servie were held las The edlfice was filled with people to its fallest capacity, and special arrangements had been made for the event. The pulplt was most appropriately and beautlfully draped with flags and bant- ing, In the background belng a very large flag, caught up and fastened at the top of the chancel window, thence falllog cither way therefrom In gentle folds to the right and left hand corners. In the center hung an ofl palnting of the dead general, surrounded with a_profasion of black crape held in place with festoons of white ribbon. On the cholr ralling hung battle flags, silent momentoes of war days, and at each end, rested on upright stafls, the stars and stripes. Rich smelling flowera shed their odor- ous perfume through the building, and a percoptable feeling of sadness spread o'er the scene. The cholr sang, with mush tendernes and beauty, “Tranqull and peaceful.” The Rev. J. W. Harrls, pastor of the church, read & part of the first chapter businees which is now conducted on the other side brought over here, thus ad- mitting to Omaha the trains of all roads which now centre here and in Council Bluffs,” The mayor says, if the Union Paclfic wiil do this, 1t will do just exactly what the people of Omaha have been coutending for for many years, and only be carrying out the provisions of a certatn deed with contract. entered into the 1st day of January, 1872, as follows: “Agrooment made this 1st day of January, in the vear of our Lord, 1872, by and betwoen he Union Pacific Railroad Company,” authorized by law of congress to build 'a bridge across the Missouri river, at_or near Council Bluffs, Tows, and Omaha Nebraska, nd its sucoeesors, party of the first part, and the city of Omaha, Nebrasks, and the county of Douglas, in the'state of Nebraska, parties of the second part, witnesseth, that whereas tho npartios desire to arrange for the more perfect connection of any railroads that are or shall be constructed to the Missouri river at or newr Council Bluffs.

Frank lin, of Kimball, Dakota has been for the past day or so In this ety and in Councll Bluffs, looking up a cave which is decidedly myster! us, It appears that on last Wednesdsy, July 15, Oharles Wilde, of Kimball, drawing $300 from the bank, left his wife and children to go to York, Neb., via Sloux Clty, invending to meet hls parents there, On the succeeding Frl- day Mre. Wilde recelved the following letter: * Qouxoir Brures, July 8,—Livuie: 1 have fallen from a train & few miles from Omaha and am badly burt. I think I am about done for this world, I hope you will get this some time, Lo, The contents of the mlssive were of a decldedly strange nature and caused con- slderable consternation in the tamily. It was undoubredly genuine, as the term *Hub"” was a pet name uted freuently wed by Mrs, Wilde. Capt. Franklin, he father-in-low of Mr, Wilde, at once tarted for Omah; Sloux Olty. Toa rporter there he sald: *'I hardly know Wt to say. There ls » mystery sur- faundiog the case that I cannot solve There {s no doubt ia my mind but what o lotter was written by Mr. Wilde, as one; else would attach the signature ub.’ one but his wife i him by that name. 3 domestlo relations are the %, ploasant and his businers b Wl shape.

Comment is unnecessary. “‘Has Mr, Calloway, since his return, intimated any desire to confer with you on thls matter?” asked the Bre repre sentative of Mr. Boyd, *Yes,” ho replied, *'ke is dispoted tc meet the cluy authorlties in a conference shortly, sud I expect there will be something sgreed upon before long, of the Book of Joshua, Gen. O, . Howard offered the open- ing prayer, beglnning with: “Oor Father, Who art Zin heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as {t s in heaven. Give us thls day, our dally bread, forgive us our trespassers as we forglve those that trespass against us, lead us not into temtation bnt dellver us fromevll, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and for— ever.” Iu his subsequent words of supplica- tion, Gen, Howard spoke reverently of Gen, Grant In his family life, of Its beauty, grandeur and parity. The cholr sang hymn 930, ““The hour of my departure has come,” after which the Rev. Harrls in substance said: Itls unnecessary to announce the reason why we are gathered here In this man- ner to-night. Our natlonls In mouratng for the loss of an ex-magistrate. When the news was flashed across this country st Thursdsy morning, it brought ead- ness to many homes, therefore it s but fitting that the people should pul glve expresslon to thelr grief. Rey. Mr. Shirrel, pastor of the Con- gregatlonal church, was the first speaker introducad. He commenced by saying that he held in his hand a telegram re— celved by him on the 8th day of May, 1877, anubuncing the death of his father. That telegram brought to him the reall- zation that he was more alonein the world than he ever had been befere. 5 | his luck? Last Wednesday the reverond gentloman racolved another telegram from the state of Massachusotts, telling him of the death of his beloved mother and that she would bo burled on Thuraday. All day long on Thursday ho felt as though he was belng burled too, With this sad afillction coupled to that brought In the snuouncement of Gen. Grant's death, his symyathy for tho grlef stricken family on Mount M- Gregor must be more prononnced than thoso under difforent clroumstances. Me. Sherrel then paid a very high tribute to the character &nd career of Gen, Grant, saying that the wonderful simpliclty of the man, his words, his manner, his acte, were tho eecrets of his groatness, Ho lived to teach tho arlstocratic natlons of the globe that the highest positions to be nchleved can bo reached and held without tho pomp, glitter and pride of nobility. The London Glcbe, sald Mr, Sherrel, could not, aftor its weak attempt at pralso of the Amerlcan hero, refrain from dropping the sneer that ho was not a Wellington nor a Napoleon, “If ho had been & Wellington,” contlnued the speaker, ““thls cduntry would have gone where Eagland wanted to see it go, 1f ho bad been a Napoleon we cannot tell what might have been the result.” In closing Mr, Sherrel sald: *‘Thisis the first citizen, American, of our land. Loving home, country, God, and wo can thaok God for him,"” The cholr then sang ““Nearer my God to Thee,” Gen, Howard was tho next epeaker. In introduclog bim Rev. Harris declared that In thirty years from now, had he his way about 1t, he would paint five portralts placlog in the center, Washing- ton, the father of his country, clustered around him he would have: Liacoln, the emancipator, Garfield, the statesman, Grant, the military genius, Howard, the Christian soldler. Gen, Howard spok ollows: One who knew Gen, Grant intlmately for many years says: *He was always the same in manner. Never elated by victory, he was also never cast down by defeat. He met all sorts of fortune stol- tdly, His confidence in himself never falled.” Possibly thls {s a true analysis of the character of Gen, Grant; but I think not, It s doubtless the seeming, the outward look of yonder reservolr which supplles the clty with water Is alw the same. Yot to-dsy the water rises high within its lofty walls, while to- morrow the water may sink to the lowest level near to exhaustion, Once during s very exclting pariod of Gen, Graus Washington life L heard Mrs, Grant say People sesa to think that Mr Grant'—she ever spoke of him as Mr. Grant—'‘can bear any amount of strain, but 1t is not so. His system Is sensitive and he saffers much with dreadfol head ache! Who but a sympathizing wife would have made such a discovery! No- tice the same characteristics in that last dread sickness now famlliar to every seader in its utmost detail of suffering; 10 complaint; no murmur; “he was al ways the same in munner.’ “‘He met, pparently, all sorts of for (une stolidy. " “‘His confidence in himself never falled.” How strong he must have bees if he had a human heart, an actlve bra'n and ordinary nerves, to maintaln such a perfect governance over them, as not to flush or trouble or otherwlse show ex- cltement when on the first day hls troops wore glving back at Shiloh!” Or when hundreds of comrades were falling and perlehing around him in the bllnd wilder- ness of Virglnis, or when the mangled forms of the dead and dylng bestrewed the ground after the Petersburz mine disaster, Ah, It was not want of feeling, not want of sympathy, not _stolidity or indifference which enabled Grant always to preserve a oheetfal, hopefal, unchang- Iog demeanor. The anclent stole urged that ‘‘contentment andapathy were not to permit grief even for the loss of frlends—that we ought to treat the af- flictlons and the death of others with the ® frigld iIndifference as our own.” Was it stolclsm like that fostered at home, taught at West Polnt, and kept up experimentsily In army life which produced Grant's remarkable stoadiness under trial, His famlily and frlenda will not accept such a theory. A degrae of stoicism has doubtless been mixed with Christianity; or, to state 1t better, mixed with the falth and practice of the friends of Jehovah from the days of MosesandJoshuatothesufferingsof Christ; from the days of the martyred apostles through all the changlng persecutions uf God by man up to to-dsy. But It was not stofolsm which nerved David before the prince of glants, and kept Danlel calm and tearless before the lons! which brightened the features of Stephen In the face of a furious mob; and enabled Paul and Silas to sing pralses when fast In the prison stalks, The first night I ever spent with General Grant he eald, In substance, durlng our conversation, that should he seek a higher command than that proper to his rank with the authority over him assigned. he should belleve himself flying In the face of providence' He had confidence in himeelf, it ls true, but {t was because he knew of a power beyond self, because he was helped and strengthened by that real for mere pleasure.” Thon shalt donomu der. He, as a soldier did not break that Jaw. And how successfally he worked to settle our difficulties with England without bloodshed; how glorlously he led the natlon into peace with the In. disns, Perhaps no man In the nation loved peace and the pursults of peace more than he. Thou shalt not commit adultery. How beautiful his love for wife and children, 1It, the family, is the tonching picture of his administration. In this simple, pure life he has hereln surpassed the brilliancy of Napoleen and the witdom of Solomon. The puee in heart shall see God. The purlty of llving 1o a veritable test of the purity of the soul, Thou shalt not ateal. How olearly honest in all things; even his enemies attest this. The treachery of Ahithophel gave no taint to King David. The avarloe of Judas did not affect the purlty of Chrlst; nelther does the decelt and falsity of Ferdinand Ward soll the white escatcheon of General Grant. Thon shalt not bear false witness. Ob, how ready to right a wrong done a fellow mortal. Almost the last act of his life was to correct a blassed judgment con- cerning that glorlous manly man General Lew Wallsce, He never tried to swoop up what belonged to others in the way of reputation or clalmed credlt for others' glorious achlovements, No more modest unselfish reports than his are on the racord books of the Government, And now the last—dld he count what be- longed to others? Emphatlcally no! His hands and his heart were always open to the cry of the needy. At times as with all generous souls, his gifts exceeded the bounds of prudence and the unworthy imposed upon his bounty. Well, my trionde, can you and | stand the test of the plumb line so well? Lot us be wise and judge gently, that the cap of oar blessing moy be full and sweet. Infirmitles our herolc leader had, but he knew them, he met them, he fought them, he overcame them. I saw evldences of that victory often and am not mistaken, It would be utter folly power beyond self. You may call it the splrlt, providence or God! 10 name s not materlal. It is all the same. When in the outset, in 180 McClellan in order to go on hi turning back in-self distrust. When afterward trying his memory over forgot- ten milltary knowledge, ho healtated to take his first asslgnment. When set aslde by Hallek without any men to commaud he followed In the march and was just about to leave the front in deepair, as Sherman In pure frlendship urgea him to stay yet longer. At these times there was no solf-confidence, Oh, no, they came—the confidence, the strength, the etardiness, the telf-abnegation at times, the imper- turbable face behind which surged all the strong emotlons of a strong man, with all the qualities of mind and heart and char- acter to make hlm a successful leader of the host—they came from the same eource whence Washington obtalned his nobility, Jefferson his wisdom, Andrew Jackson his indomitable patriotism and Lincoln his geeat hoarted loving kindnees, It was from Him who is in all things, over all things—from Him who cares for the uni- corn but forgets not the sparrows—from Him our Almighty Father and Frlend, whose great spirit dwells in thehearts and souls of the chiloren cf men. Then I would not admit the common philosophy of luck, mere luck, to be trae? No! no! “He had falth, great falth, in hls star,in his luck!” Not s Not so. After he left the army in his early life where was Every venture seemed agalnst him, He was poor and little known. Gen, Scott, with whom he fought In Mexico, barely recalled his nsme. Later after his grand carcer of general and president where wes his lack? It proved but o mirage. He found only the shame of the game at the hands of a sharper. It was not luck. Success from fields llke Padukah, Belmont, Henry, Donelson, Vicksburg, Chattancoga and &t lasi Appamatox—fields far apart —prosenting an unparalleled varlety of of circumstances and difficulties that suc- cess could not have been so uniformly obtained by luck! His knowledge of men amounting to Inslght by which he put aslde the noisy, blustering shams and pat into command the right sort—snoh as Sherman, McPherson, Sherldan and others, dld not come from lucky hits Plans tike that of Vicksburg which rivals in conceptives and excentlve, any of Napoleon's, and thoze which terminated in the final victory over Robert Lee at Appomattox, which exceeds In every way the Waterloo of Wellington—these were not attributable to lucky ventures! No, they came from a good solid brain, warmed aud brightened by a strong, true hesrt, all of which were helped to enlargement by the great adjustor of human events by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, So I have long belleved, and 80 Gen, Grant himself belleved. Fortunately it never eubtracts from a man’s glory to give glory to G The elcquence that sneers st good men and laughs at the Almighty s short-lived. may garner up s multitudious de fiendisn joy, but that soon fades out into nothing in the presence of endless hope and glory embosomed in immortal love I recetved to-day anote from one of our generals of the wer who saye: *1 did hope that Gen. Grant would have bacn more pronoanced as a Christlan, but I think that he has tiusted all to the mercy of Ged,” Another frlend etops me and eske, Do you think Grant was a Chrlst- fan?” I will answer that. It {s hard for us to run clear ot the ruts of prejudice. Tdo not believe that my friends and I could agree precisely upon 8 doctrinal definition of what constitutes a christian, 21 wish we could, Buot there are things in which we must agree, d. there are tests of chrlstlan living which all men apply. Theso tests enable us to form & judgment concerning men of old, Moses and Aaron, David and Johnathan, Samuel and Saul, Ahab and Elijah, Her- od and John the Baplist, Judas and Peter, the sons of Zebidee and John the loving spostle. Noless do they reach men of history, like Willlam of “Ocange and the croel Philtp of Spain, Washing- ton and Arnold, Adams and Aaron Bure, Tho tests we uncontcionsly bring upon theee men are the commandments cf God. Let us apply them to our hero, Fir thou thalt reverence God and have no other, Ifhe had a misgiving here no body has heard of it, nobody has ever calumnlouely asserted such a thing, Sec- ond, he has msde no graven image, nor bowed down to wood or stone, if inclined at any time to priza too highly earthly treasaro, ho has immadiately 1ost it and his heart found there no resting place Third, he was never profane, though tolerant, A distingulshed citizen told me that he had eeen him much perturbad n spirit, and deeply Indigoant st & rl bald osth atterea iu hls presence, It was eald of him that his reverence for God was £0 great that he could not awear, As to the Sabbath, how quickly ae rebuked one who had been on his steff, lefc and became rich, who offered aim a Sunday rallroad excursion, In wubstance he sald: *‘I was obliged to trav ol duringftbe war on the Sabbath, 1 o mob eee why for & young man to yleld to drink and excuse himaolf by the example of a great man. Ob, what a straggle, stronger than that with Lee, Johnson and Pemberton, yet, thank God, he conquered. Few public men of to-day have become mors abstemious than he was the latter years of his life, Oh, but how excessive in moklng! Yen, the hablt was strong, but even that had to glve way. By an carly abstatnence our youth can avoid the dangers that tobaceo entalls and tho crit- icism that thls common practlce brings SADDER BUT WISER.

What a fire of prolonged sufferlng ho passed through, Did he believe? Notlce the words of July 2; ““If it Is within God's providence that 1 should go now, 1 am ready to obey hia call without a murmur.” His falth was as stmple and_strong as that of a child. He was like his mother. Mother and child are In the arms of the Beloved. In the large universe there aro many mansions, prepared by the ex- pressive love of Christ, Lotus go there then to find our brother, our hero. My Country "Ts of Thee” was sung by the choir. Followlng Gen, Howard, the Hon. John M. Thurston was introduced. Rev. Harrls pald the gentlemsn a very high compliment In saylng that had he to per- form the duty of selecting orators to pronounce, fitidng eulogles over the dead general, he would take one from New York, one from Maine, and the Hon, John M. Thurston, of Omaha, In a very cloar tone of voice, easy and gracefal manner, Mr. Tharaton held the large audience with his matchless oratory and thrilling eloquence wrapped In attention for half an hour. S> grand were some of his utterances, that, notwithstanding the sanctity of the place and the solemni- ty of the occaslon, the hearers had to give vent to thelr feellngs in mlld out. bursts of applause, Commensing his talk, the epeaker sald: In the presence of a natlon’s loss the eloquence of spoken words can but feebly volce a natlon’s sorrow. The graatest, wiseet, most beloved American soldier ls no more. The flag he kept in the sky is looped at half-mast in mourning. The people of all nations feel and ex- press their eadness at his desth, Living in the brightest age of the world, he attained the highest pinacle of fame— the greatest citizen and scldler in all the earth, After having returned from fields of battle to live a peaceful, qulet cltizen, it was only that he knew the flag he had sworn to protect was In perll, that he once more took down the eword to do battle for the right, and when the star of peace shone over this broad land again he returned tha% sword to the people from whom he recelved it. The speaker gave a hasty rovlew of the war and Grant's part in it. In every act of his life he unfalteringly and per- severingly performed his daty. His' mag- animity, his genercsity, his loving kind- ness and his constant heroism, were held up to view In the most cloquent terms, In nothing was hfs magnanimity 8o grand- ly illustrated as in his bearlng towards the enemy ho conquered, holding out that wo were atill brothers, In whose united strength only could the life of the naticn be preserved. When the war was over, when the flagflosted from north to sonth, Gen, Grant (uietly songht the reat of which bo bad #o long been deprived, But what lives the longest is arecord of herolsm, and the people, racognizing this in him, like the natlons ofold, who crowned their heros kinge, made him presldent. The history of his career as such, his tour around the world, and his late sickness, were all re- viewe At the close of Mr. Thurston's romarks, Mr, Sherrel pronounced the benedlction and the crowd quletly dis- persed. e e— The Wagon They Want, Messrs Leeder, Lee and Thrane, the speclal councll committee, appointed at last Thursday nights meetlng to see about the purchase of a patrol team and wagop, for the polica depsrtment, made a visit to Councll Bluffs Saturday where they Inspected a wagon, owned over there, which is offered for eale.

Tho game was, if anything, more prettily contested than that of the day preceding, the straggle throughout being one of pltchers. Salisbury played in magnificont form and by giving the Hastings men liberal doses of his puzzling in, out, and down shots, shut them out. The fielding on both sides was accurate, several beau- tiful plays being made on both sides. The ecore: UNION PACIFIC, BH. oL ] rocoo~—of | cocccocor: Bandlo, ¢ ... McKelvey, 5 b Lee, 1st b..

They were not disappointed. The contest was ome of the prettiest ever seen on an Omaba ball- field, From the first to the sixth inning the game was comparatively featureless. King of the Hastings club managed to score a run In the second Inning. In the first half of the sixth, Sallebury falled to reach first, but was followed by Strock and Bermingham both of whom reached bases. Bandle then went to the bat, first part and pitched a superb game, worrying the visitors greatly with his swift and puzzling delivery. The umpiring of Garnean was good throughout, and was marked by an im partlallty which fs rarely atisined. He was oplled upon to make some very diffi-’ oult declslons at times, and deserves credit for the way in which he filled his undesirablo position. Tae score UNION PACIFICS, R Baadle, o, .

DEATH IN THE CLOUDS, CLOUD DURST NEAR SPRINGS, CoLorano SrriNas, Col,, July 26,—One of the most disastrous cloud bursts ever known in this section of the state struck a point & fow miles north of this city last midnight, But for the fact that tho storm struck the crest of a hill. the loss of life must have been appalling.

As soon a8 the former realizod the sitvation, he jumped from the door of the floating dwell- ing, instructing his wife to do the same. Afier a hard struggle he succeeded in_reach. ing a place of safety. Instead of jumping, his wifo clung _to the house, which struck the Denver & New Orleans railroad bridge, a hundrod yards below, and was dashed to pieces, Diligent search failed to discover any trace of Mra, Eaton’s body. Several fami lies living further up the creek bacely es- caped with their lives, Later reports from Luckless valley, north of town indicate devastation and loss ot life greater than first supposed. On the slopes of Shooks Run there were a number of summer campers, Many of their tents have heen seen floating in the stream, and as the flood came down i n the dead of night, it is feared many have perished, One dody, that of a Swede woman, is reported found several miles below town, The news from Shooks Run 18 awaited with intense anxiety. e ——— A COWBOY LOOSE, A SHARP ARTILLERY DUEL IN THE STREETS OF CHICAGO, Cacaco, T, July 23.—At noon to-day Policeman Peter Soergel, while walking down State street, in the neighborhood of the levee, heard a report of a pistol and instantly felt a stinging seneation 1 his back. Turning he saw a small man in a whito slouch hat stand- ing at a little distanco with a loveled reyolver in his hand. The policeman drew his own weapon and a8 ho advanced roturned the shots rapidly fired at him by the small mnan, who rotreated ag he fired When the ammunition of both had boen exhausted without any ap- parent result, tho men clinched and by the aid of several bystanders the assailant was brought to the gronnd. Ho was then rocog- nized as cowboy from Kansas, who had ro- cently been arrested for firing his weapon in the stroet and was thiraty for revenge, Three of his shots inflicted flesh wounds in Soergel's body.

Things looked blue for Oma- ba. Bt the Unlon Pacific's were not a bit despondent. Colline stepped fo the bat, and made a sioglo bagger. Ho was followed by Salisbury who also reached firat base, sending Collins to {second.

It was fully five minutes before the admirers of the Union Pecific’s, and of McKelvy's mag- nificent effor'—uvparelleld, perhaps in the annals of local ball playing—were content to sit down and watch the finlsh of the geme, The remafning inning was uneventful, no runs bell cored on efther side, The work of the Hastings team throughout was well done and they proved themselyes to be ball players of no meen ability, Thele plicher, Smith, however, *‘let down” durlng the half of the game and was freely baf On the part of the home team, the work of Rockwell at firat, McKelvey at third and Baadle behind the bat, were es- pecial features, all boys distinguleh- ing themselves, in fact, for sherp and steady playlng.
