Tmprossive Faneral Services aud @ Large Parade at the Capital, A Celebrated Case Once More in the Courts. Davis the Engineer—Oriminal Ttems ~Local acing—Deadly Assanlt —State Personals, AT THE CAPITAL, THE GRANT OBSEQUIES, The Grant memorial services at the Oapltol grounds Saturday were impres- sive, and indloated the patriotism of this commaunity and a love for the memory of the ellent noldler. The parade, com- posing Lincoln’s military and civie or- ganizations, made a most oreditable ap- pearance, When the exerclscs began there were over five thousand prople on the grounds. After a eelection by tho band ard the reading of a set of resolu- tlons eulogistic of the dead general, Gov- ornor Dawes made an sddress in which he commended the universal spirlt of re- gret which prevailed, not only In Lincoln but the United States and the whole clv- 1lized world, T. M. Marquett, E:q who was to bave been the sec- ond speaker, was kept away by ickness, and his acdress was read by Guy A, Brown, clerk of tho supreme court, It recited Grant's career, step by atep, throughout his early life, the clvil war, as president, and finally as a orivate cltizon; there was no blomish upon any portion of It. Judge C. M, Parker sald that often. times In war the generals got the credlt of vlctories won by the private soldiere. Grant’s record was an exception to this, He had divided his victories with his men, and three million soldiers, were they here to-day, would endorse the atement, 38 Minnie Parker recited a poom en- titled “*Grant is Dead.” - The Maennerchor end Glee clabs in- terspersed the exercises with beautiful voeal selections. Henry Bruegman thon addressed the assemblago in the German lan- guage, and it was indeed a masterly effort. General Vifquain next spoke. Future generations, he said, should bo taught that Graut was the {nstrument given this country to lead it to victory over rebellion and discord. One of the most eloguent addresses of tho day was mado by J. L, Caldwell, Eaq. He pletured in vivid langnage the marks of repect belng shown tho dead hero all over the world. He then went back and tracod the general's career from the farm to the c)mmand of the army. Grant filled to falluess the measure of a great lifs in a great age. Kolloming Mr. Qaldwell were Judges Crooker and Mason, both of whom spoke eloquantly and appropriately. Hon. Patrick Kgan, president of the Irish Natlonal League, next epoke. “In my case,” mald he, *‘there were none of those links that bound so many of you here, and par- tloularly of old companions in arae, to the dead hero. Yet from across tho broad Atlafitic have I, in common with the masses of my fellow countrymen, watched durlng the mighty struggle, with anxious eyes and bated breath, every move he made, every step he gained on the road to viciory. Long before Amerioa struck for free- dem from English rule a feeltng of deep frlendship sprang up and had been specially cultivated by the illustrlons Frankiin between the people of Ireland and the popular leadera in Americy, and during her strugele for independence Ireland rendered to America such aid and encouragement as elicited twice over the spectal thanks of the contlnental In one of these messagos the congress. following memorable words occar: You have ever been felendly to the rights of mankind, and we acknowledge with plessuse and gratitude that your nation has produced patriots who have nobly distinguished themsslves In the cavse cf homautty and Amerios.” Patriotic Irish hands largely helped to Iay the foundation for the young ropuo- lic, Irlsh b'osd helped to cement i, and among tho most honored signers of its glorlous cherter, the declarstion of inde- pendencoe, ere to be fourd n'ne of my fel- low countryman, George Wathington, himself, whila dlsdainfully sparning every Eoglish honor, proudly becime &n adopted cltizen of Ireland.” Tha speaker then referzed to the unwaverlog sttach- ment of the Irish peoplo towards Amer- ica end American institutions, He elo- quently described the love of country round in overy Irishuisn’s hesrt. *Irish- mon,” sald he, *‘take the motto of the old and gallant Sixty-ninth Irlsh regiment of New York, No north, no eouth, no enst, no wesf, bot the whole natlon. Daring the war Ir'sh blood bad flowed freely in defenso of the unlon, and Irigh- men rejoic.d with all for the snstaioment of the union, Mr. Egan closed as fol. lows: ‘*‘Amerloans to-dey ara joined by every lover of liberty in mourning for her illustrious son, 1, on behslf of my countrymen, lay my humb'e cffering on the bier of tke patlent soldler of free- dom ” Aftor s short address tho Rev. McKay acked the audience to arlse and & benediciion was then pronounced and the gathering dispersed. A CELEBRATED CASE. On Saturday afternoon a brief was filed in the supreme court of the state by the attorneys for he plaintiffs in error in the well-known case of Julia Abbotvand others sgaioet Alonzo Abbott and othera, The cate is a highly sensationsl one, and deals with parties well known in Lincoln and this vicloity. In 1883 young Ab- hott, son of Alouzo, went cn a visit to lowa, and whilo there married a young German girl, whom he brought home to his father's house, The old gentlemsn had marrled to bis second wife, and the appearance of young Mrs. Abbott, it is alleged, was a source of dlequle* and annoysnoe to her for certain reasons. It {ssald that upon the elder Abbott'sdemise she is expected to come In for a consider- able share of the property snd the mar- rlage of the son, she thought would, in a great measure, upset her calculattons, Patternlog after celebrated characters in history. Mre. Abboti, Senior, is sald to have plotted for the disgrace and downfall of Mys. Abbott, Junlor, Upon the premises was ewployed & repuleive looking young colored man named Charles Murphy. Ho outraged Mrs Abbott, as ste alleges, at the Instance and by the request of old Mra. Abbott. Afier a time Murpby wes arrested for the crime, and old man Abbott was held 48 an accessory, Murphy was convicted nd {s now serving out a tera in the pen- itentiary, Abbolt was tried but tke jury disa. greed. When the second trial came on. it in alleced Abbott having procurred the absence ot the princlpal witnesses by promites, he war acquitted. Sults for clvil damages also fell by reason of her absence. Young Mrs, Abbott clalms that Abbott promised her a home and recognition 1f she would abandon the suite. She fal- filled her part of the agreement, but she claims that he utterly disregarded his compact, and has utterly disregarded her and her child ever since. _She now secks through her attorneys, Messes. Brown and Ryan Beothers, to have the suits for damages reinstated and to bs allowed to proceed. DAVIS, THE ENGINEER, Tho expose by the Ber of Chester B. Davls, the self-styled sanitary engineer, has already produced good results. Sev- eral membera of the oity council have In- stituted inqnirles concerning him, and there la now no doubt but that ho will be found wholly incompatent for what he desires to undertake, jadging by his past efforts, Mayor Boyd, of Omahs, has been written to Inregerd to Davls, and it wonld be well if the authorities here would communicate with Mr. D. H. Goodrlch, superintendent of the Omaha waterworke, concerning Daviy’ work on that plant. Mayor Burr now tacltly admits that Davis {s not the proper man to plan Lincoln sewerage, and he has virtnally withdrawn hls rocommendation to the clty council, glven in his Introduction of Davis to that body. The latter gentleman has not yet returned from Chicago. It is not known what action will be taken by tho cliy council in tho matter this evening, bub judglng from the present fecling nmong membors 1t 1s eafe to pradict that Davis will not be paid $2,000 for work which he {s not qualified to perform. TWO RUNNING RACES. At the drlving park Saturdey after- noon quite a gathering of eports looked on at a quarter of a mile dash botween Dick Birups’ young stallion and Domi nick Brown’s Kitty Brown for $25a slde. After a eplrited little brash the stalllon came under tho wire abouta length ahead. The mecond race was batween a horse owned by Dr, Howard, of Ashlind, and Willle O., a well known running horee owned In Lincoln. The race was mile heats, best two In three, for $100 a side, and was onsily won by the Howard animal In two stralght heats. SHORT ITEMS, Yesterday afternoon J. J.

The total number of new buildinga built at the fiftesn citiea rose from about 21,000 in 1882, to 25,000 in 1883, and to 28,000 in 1881, The prosent outlook does not promize a gain in 1885 equal to that of 1884 over 1883.

At first built to Burlington, it has branched thence in nearly all directions - St. Louis, Kansas City, Omahs, Denver-save into the northwest, Tho traffic of thisregion was formerly divided between the St, Pau: and the Northwestern, but now these lines have reached for Jowa and Nebraska traffic, There are several lines to St. Paul, mostly branches of the Burlington rivals, and no rea- #on gecms to exist why the Burlington should ot complete its Chicago system by a direct £6:-mile branch up the east bsnk of the Mis- sissippi: no other company has the east or west base lines or the St Louis lines warranting & like extension, and it would nob pa) & new corporation with Ecattere: capital to force its way into the northwest, Already balf a million dollars has been expended on this ex- teneion, and the total estimated cost is ten millions, It is a difficult xoad to construct, and cannot be completed much before the lat- ter part of 1886, but the whole ground has been carefully izepected for more than & year past, the terwinal arrangoments made at St. Paul, and the roa to bs built with a pretty thorough undarstandivg of what it can secure for business.
