2 [ THEIR FIRST WAS A SUCCESS. A BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT, | Patti Changes Her Date—An lowan Robbed of His Wealth—Mrs, Fountain's Other Lioc The first annual ball of Omaha lodge No. 89, Benevolent Protective Order of Eiks, was given last night in the Millard hotel. It had been long in preparation, and the complcteness of every arrange mentshowed that the time had not ps unimproved. In details, excellenc clusiveness and taste, the oces deservedly ranked with the successful entertainments which have been given by this association during the short time it has been in existence The guests commenced to arrive at | about 8:30, and at 9 o'clock the Musical Union orehestra, of sixteen picces, under thelendership of Mr. Iryine, commenced d ox- sion Dellinger’s grand march from *Don Cwmsar.”” The number w; led by Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Babeock, and to its large proportion of the s and gentlemen preseut marched. e was very little decoration no- in the dining hall, 1 whnich the dancing took place. It was confined to the draping of the western alcove and the prer mirror of the room with Ameri- can flags. In the former, was erected the the EIk's throne, symbolized with a mag- nificent head with branching antle Jooking through the parting in’ the col- ored stripes. On either side, was placed a smailer head, while upon the tloor of the alcove, stood two pedestals, each supporting a tive-branched eandelabrum Bupporting five lighted tapers, ween the candclabra, on wle, rested o capacious puhch-bowl hioned out of an ice block, in which in ruddy richness, {nslpirinu strains gparkled a liberal supply of claret fiunrh, compounded by Mr, etherington < of the Millard. In the northenst corner of the room, in 4 mmiature crate was the lodge goat, white as n mountain snow flake, hetlands. wd groomed like one of Vietoria's ‘T'his is the animal wnich had survived the iniatory riding of all the local elks. He contemplated himself with a fastidious air, and scemed keenly to relish the appetizing viands of tin-cans and thirty-penny nails which the lodge’s generosity had” provided for his discus- sion. The second floor of the hotel was at the disposal of the lodge and 1ts friends, thirty-six rooms having been ted for the purpose. Those on the west were used as reception rooms, on the south as wardrobes, and _in those on the east,supper was served. The corridor connecting all these served handsomely for promenade purposes, and was ap- preciated by many a ty couple during the intervals in the dance. The supper was ser at tables in soparate rooms and thus enabled the meet- ing of soci parties, who othcrwise would have been lost in a more formal and general banquet. The menu was as follows: Cups—Chicken Consomme. Hot Biscuit. Chicken Salad. Escalloped Oysters, Raw Oysters in Block of Ice, Bhrimp Salad. Macedonia Jelly. Tuttl Fruittl, Kisses. Maroons, Angel Food. Chocolate. Cafe Noir. ‘This was served by a corps of twenty- three waiters under the direction of Mr, H. B. Smith, the head waiter of the house, under whose diseriminating taste the several spreads were beautifully garnished and displayed. THE GUESTS, Among those present were noticed: C.

As the old gen- tleman was entering the depot he noticed that his coat and vest had been unbut- toned at the top, and a hasty examination showed that his pocketbook had been nipped. The missing book contained $300in _cash, all of the money possessed by the Loyd family.

Thedifliculty was increased last night when the weather moderated and rain commenced to fall, The ice in which the wires had been coated in falling broke many of the wires causing a great deal of annoyance and delay in tho transmission of messages. An electrie wire broke on Fifteenth strect near the post office, about 9 o’clo night and fel! upon several telephone wires that were consequently burned X During most of the afternoon and early evening the West Jnion had only one wire working to Chicago, and as a result, a part of the day force was kept on duty 1ast nignt to help dispose of the accumu- lated work. The continued rain had the effect of freeing the wires of their burden of ice and at midnight the lines in all di- rections, that had not been broken, were in a fairly good working order. * Presbyterian Progress, At the communion service in the North Presbyterian church Sunday morning a large congregation was present.

Frevont, Neb., Feb, 6.—To the Editor of the Bek: On this cool, although beauti- ful Sunday, when the trees, tipped with the hoar frost and light, fleecy snows of last night, give to them their loveliest robes, and nature in her best winter at- tire scems to invite in these restful Lours to meditations, calm and peaceful, must there not be questions of more than ordi- nary interest to stir the pulses and quicken the activities of an entire com- munity? What catastrophy, what un- usual danger threatens, and, as it were, compels in a quiet ci such as ol ours usually is the gathering of the citi- zens into small bands on the streets, in the offices, in the hotel corridors, at the railway station nonses, in fact in almost every portion of the town, and engages them in earnest, animated conversation? On Friday last, Superintendent of Cone struction Hall, of the Fremont & Elkhorn lley railroad, (known as the North- w rn), returned from a lobbying visit t Lincoln and immediately convened in star chamber seseion the shippers and railroad attaches and the jobbers con- nected with their corporation. A short and hurried eonsultation was had when it was determined to adjourn until night that a further and larger confers might be held. At the appointed time most of the railroad gang was on hand. » big grain syndicate that owns twen- ven clevators, and almost as nd lumber yards, were there superintendent was there; right of w men we there, repairing men th apparently everything that runs the road machinery, including the railr attorney, was there when the object ¢ the meeting was disclosed, to-wit: Fremont was going to lose the sho, And wherefore?r Answer—Hostile 1 lation at incoln. One ignorant fellow in the crowd inquired when the railway company had made any proposi- tion to put in shops at emont? But he was speedily told he must not ask imper- tinent gu repeal of th i said the superintendent, *is hostile legislation, and to that repeal the delegation from Dodge, (Shervin, Schwab and Gamble), stood pledged.” Unless these votes could be changed, unless they could be paited, unless 10 some way they could be gotten lrnl of, Fremont and her boom must col- apse. h was suggested that Senator Shervin be invited in and informed of the situation. After hearing what they had to say, and . listening to the threat that if this hostile legislation continued the rail- ds would muke the grass grow in our s, the senator tpok the floor, saying Zo I yoted against the law creating the commission, regarding it then as nothing, but an expensive fraud Ly coal designed by the rajlrg to throw dust m the eyes of the honest voters who d sired fair and rightful control over rumil- road corporations. This I then expressed, and I hs ason to chang my opinion. Atthe time of my re-clection made my canvass, and so did my ocigtes, in this issue. ‘The county con- vention that nowi repenl of the law. My constituents in Dodge county, ng all classes, the laboring and the agricultural, insist upon its being taken from the statute books.

The exposure of these tricks, the con- temptible methods of these corporations, and the discussions incident thereto, are the causes of these gatherings, are the subjects of these animated conyersations on this &abbath day in our forest city. TREMONT —— A Loud Call for Beans Springfield Republican: There is no one thing that a New England man misses £o much in New York ns a plate of good old fashioned baked beans. "It is imated that there are 100,000 strangers e every day, and a @e number come from the castern states. And yet with the constant call day after day Tor baked beans the hotel men and restau- rant keepers have made no progress toward supplying thé demand, Outside of hulf a dozen places there is nowher in the metropolis ghat this famous dish n be had. ” There are, of course,thous- ands of eating houses where baked beans are regularly served. But they are such beans! They are aodked in huge shallow , and as white as milk, and when are dis as if they uashed'in a mortar, There er any pork in them, no juice, and steless as water.

The Senate Sends the President Its Reasons, WasmsaroN, Feb, 7.—The document pre- pared by Senator Ingalls and offered in the shape of a resolution regarding the rejection by the senate ot Matthews (colored) to be re- corder of ¢eeds of the District of Columbia, was to-day adopted by the senate—25 to 18 (a party vote)—and will be sent to the president with the rejection. The document is in part as follows: The president attempts to jus. tify the renomination of Matthews by stat- ing that the fitness of the nomince has been demonstrated; second, that the previous opposition to his ap- pointment among the citizens of ihe district has largely subsided; third, that he desires in this way to_tender’ just reco nition and good faith toward our colored citi- zens. It is suflicient to the first two reasons alleged to say that neither could have been applicable where Matthews was apointed in August, immediately after the adiournment of the senate, for at that time his fitness had not been demonstrated, nor had there been any interval for local opposition to subside. Until suggested by the president the senate was not aware that the question of a *just recognition or good faith of our colored fel- low citizens™ was involved in the question, and it has never before been urged that & person’s nomination for an ofice ~ should bo confirmed or re- ected because he was black or white. I'he senate, however, in view of the mes- sage of the president, cannot forbear to ap- prise him since he has raised the race issue, that Frederick Douglas was requested to re- slgn the oftice of recorder of deeds in the District of ~ Columbia in order that James Matthews might be appointed {o the place. Without a doubt, Douglas is the most distinguished representative of his class, not in this country only but in the world. “Just recognition” would have been tendered to our colored fellow citizens by the election of Frederick Douglas rather than by his enforced retirement in order to roward an unknown and obscure partisan who had never been a slave and thorefore represented the franchised race only by the accident of color.The deyotion of the president to the vohitical and civil advancement of the col- ored race mizht have been equally attested, and good © faith might have been as strongly exhibited by the Tetention of Doug. lasin the offica wlhose dutics he was dis- (-Ilungmgxn the best satisfaction of the veo- ple. — DESTROYING THE DOGS, All the Canines of a Village Slaugh- tered on a Mad Doz Scare. CiicAco, . 1 Telegram to the Bri]—The village of Niles Center has been the scene of intense excitement on the part of it’s inhabitants during the past three aays, ‘The entire neighborhood has been waging a niost merciless war on every species of the nine trive. Wherever one has been caught sight of his fate has been sudden and com- plete. Yesterday a regular batteau was held, nearly every dog in the village being shot down. The cause of all this commotion was the antics of a wmad doz Saturday. Onthe day in question a_small, smooth, black dog rushed up the main stroet of the village, foaming at the mouth and snapping at every object. It was soon ovident that the brute was mad, but the fact was not noticed uzgtil what may be termed Nttle short of a calannty had occurred. All along the route taken by the dog crowds of boys were playing or sh\llldmu idly chatting, and as the brute pur- suec his frantic w: he attacked almost boy he met.

A Sunday Appearance Along the Docks in New York. NEW Yok, Feb. 7.—The river fronts and neighboring streets presented a Sunday ap- pearance this morning and there was no change in the condition of affairs. Monday is usually the busiest aay in the week at the docks, but there was no_blockade of the belt line street cars to-day.

Brswanrck, Dak., Feb. 7.—The gieat Issue now before the legislature, and one npon which a fight will be_made, is that of the passage of the Sioux Falls bond bill over act- ing Governor McCormack veto, It was known Iast night that the house would not emulate the example of the council in hur- riedly passing the measure over the gov- ernor's veto, and the state of affairs has not changed to-day. The secret of the situation is that the Mitchell forces having control of the house are bound to force Grigshy, the member of the council from Sioux Falls, to _ support their bill for the removal of the United States court from Yankton to Mitchell. rigsby has been very independent in the past and has cornered the champions of itehell’s clafms for the court.
