A Board of Trade Meeting. Last might was the regular monthly mmeeting night of the board of trade. The hour for convening was 8 o'clock, but it was nearly 9 before a quorum eould be had. The secretary lost no time, keeping constantly at work over his books and papers, but the other mem- bers chafed under the delay. They mopped the perspiration from their ala- baster brows, pulled up their sleeves, puffed with the heat and heaved alternate ighs for rain and a quorum. One mem- or was lacking. Mr. Furay went out upon the street to secure the much- wanted individual. During his absence two others sifted out and it looked as if there would be no meeting. It is pre- sumed they, too, went out to ‘‘see a man,” for they returned with Mr. Furay, il 10oking refreshed but still mopping np {ent beads of perspiration with ’kerchiefs which bore a trace of aving once been white, At ast the much-hoped for board member appeared, and the secretary arose and ealled the meeting to order. Mr. Furay occupied the chair, Mr. Gillespie, of the state board of correction and charities, was heard by the board in reference to the fourteenth annual con- ‘vention of the national board of correc- tion and charities, which will meet in Omahaon August 25. Mr. Gillespie said that about 500 members would be in at- tendance, and asked that the hoard of trade take some action toward receiving the delegates. Ex-Governor Saunders plso spoke briefly on the subject. Mr. Furay suggested " the liropr ty of defer- king action until a fuller representation f the board could besecured. President ler, who upon entrance assumed the chair, thought it an exceedingly difficult matter to secure a large meeting durin, the hot weather. After a great deal o gesultury .disoussion, Mcssrs. Chase, ‘leming and Havens were appointed a Eommmun to act In conjunction with the local committee of the association of charities 1 securln(.i subscriptions from citizens to assist in receiving the national board of charities. To facilttate the work of the committee it was decided the board of trade would pay for carriages for the use of the committee. A commu- nication was received from the Detter Manufacturing company of Des Moines #o remove their newspaper folding ma- hine factory to this city. They will ring twenty families to Omana, and msked a consideration of $10,000 to be ade up m ound near a side track. . C. Pratt, of Lincoln, Kas., a manufac- Rurer of suspension bridges, also wanted neouragement to remove his plant to Ehl! oity. The communications were re- erred to the committee on manufacto- yies, with a recommendation that they be ven favorable consideration. F. E. aynard, who has a manufactory of wuhlnfl machines in Bedford Flace psked the board of trade and the general ublic to visit and inspect his factory. committee consisting of Messrs, Mason, 'homas, Bruner and Lininger were ap- ointed to examine the Maynard factory nd report at the next regular meeting. Messrs. Fleming and Furry said the in- ention of Maynard was meritorious and is" lncto‘l;{ should be encouraged. H. W. nyder, of Chicago, a manufacturer of owers, wanted to know what chance ere was of interesting men of money in is machines. The communication was ferred to the committee on manufact- res. The board of trade of Kansas City wanted to enlist the board of trade of Pmaha to engage in a scheme to arrange Excunhns from the east to western points n order to advertise the country. The roposition was referred to the executive mmittee. Champion 8. Chase .said ‘corn was king in Nebraska yet,” as he ad made a trip of 850 miles throughout he state but he had never seen the crops ooking better than at present. The atd of directors reported on certain rules and regulations, but the communi- cation was blaced on file until a larger soeeting could be secured. AN INFORMAL MEETING.

The Heat of Yesterday the Greatest of the Year, At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the thermometer registered 105 in the shade. Jt was a “‘corker,” but it was a wmere bagatelle to what the conspirators against Chief Seavey may expect in the sweet by snd by, “Hot?" said a collarless, coat- Jess and soppy-shirted fat man in re- pponse to an acquaintance as be waddled up Farnam street bufl- ing like a steam-dredging machine, *‘Hot? It's d—a hot!" That of course was an inelegant sentence and perhaps an ex- peedingly discourteous response; but 1t “ENM the fat man'’s feelings and echoed the sentiments of 90, of Omaha's 100,000 pooulation. The other 30,000 wouldn't even think d—d, and their feelings were expressed by the ex- plotive “awtul!” Very few persons were on the streets and those few who ore tirring were forced to E«:nnwfl by the demands of business. ut the little business that was done was gone through with in a perfunctory man- er. ly number visited the circus the noon and sweltered through- out the hours’ performance. The in- tense heat detracted from the vleas- wre of the performance. Later in the day a wind sprang up, but §t brought little relief from the sense oppressive heat. It was a regular simoon and almost suffocated those who were competled to move about in the performance of their daily duties. About g'o‘ohnk n the evening t ern lk( was overcast and lowering, 9 'clock a refreshing breeze was blowing and at 10 o'clock it was almost ‘gnle, and the rain was pouring down in ts, oooling the torrid atmosphere west- By T WAS 00 HOT FOR THEM| to an extent that would enable a melting vopulace to seek relief in refreshing slumber. i THE COURTS, What Was Done Before the Judges Yesterday. UNITED STATES, The trial of M. W. Eskey, of Bartley,on the charge of selling liquor without & license came npdycamnlny morning and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The jury, which disagreed on the Gross subornation of perjury case on Saturday last, was out twenty-six hours, taking in that ume innumerable ballots, which all resulted the same—nine for conviction, three for acquittal. Gross was much overcome by the result as he informed the BEE reporter that ho was confident of being discharged. He will now likely have to remain in jail until October. DISTRICT. C. M.

ENGLISH HOSPITALITY, How the Honorable Artillery knters tains Its Boston Guests. [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNpoy, July 11.—[New York Herald Ca- ble—Special to the BrEe.|—Last week I mentioned the invitation of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company of London to its namesake body in Boston, Mass., to en- joy its hospitality this afternoon. The guests from the latter joined in celebrating the former’s three hundred and fiftieth birth- day. They were headed by Colonel Henry Walker, an eminent Boston barrister, and among the number was also Mayor Cam- bridge. All these “solid men of Boston” wore their Hub uniforms. The post regi- ment was commanded by the young Duke of Portland, Among the reviewing guests were Lord Napler, ot Magdala, and other military and mnaval dignitaries. When the review ended a banquet followed, at which Minister Phelps aud Consul Gen- eral Waller sat on the right of the ducal chairman, and on the left Colozel Walker, 1 fancied the Bostontans were disappointed that the soup was mock instead of real turtle, and certainly the Jord mayor looked It.§ But they did ample justice to the turbot, soles, whitbait, Welsh eels and Scotch salmon. Minister Phelps made the response to the toast, *“T'he President,” and gallantly re- membered the queen, while Colonel Walker gave the answer to the toast of his Bunker Hill corps, speaking with tact and eloquence to the sincere applause of the entertainers. New York’s old resident, John H. Pulstom, M. P, did the Willey Souflle speech in re- sponse to the wusual toast of “The Visitors”” The thirty-year-old duke did not oratorically shine in replylng to his health, proposed by Minister Phelps, but being unmarried, and the hymeneal catel: of the season, he found ap- plause from the many uniformed veteran fathers of marriageable daughters. Colonel Walker, whose long speach has been cabled over to Boston, informed me that the headquarters of his military delega- tion had been at the Royal hotel, where they had been shown by the London hosts really embarrassinz jubilee hospitality. ‘“The Hon- orable Artillery company has treated myself and comrades with immeasurable atten- tion. We put ourselves unreservedly in their hands, and they have almost worn us out with one continual round of pleasure. We were at the Guild hall, the Henly regatta, the house of commons, the Woolwich arsenal tower, the Buckingham palace review by the queen on Saturday, with a party of ladies to brighten us, lardly a day has passed withouta dinner party at one of the officers’ houses.

HOPELESSLY INSANE., Princess Charlotte's Condition Shows No Ohange For the Better. LCopyright 1857 by James Gord'ms Bennel Brussers, July 11.—[New York LMer- ald Cable—Speclal to the Brr|—Un- founded reports haviug reached America that the mental health of Princess Charlotte, widow of Maximilian, was improving, I yes- terday visited the village of Buchart, which is five miles from here, where she has resided since the burning down of her residence at Tervuern three years ago. There was a re- ligious procession which, according to the old custom, has taken vlace since two centu- ries ago every second Sunday in July. The procession, with statues of the saints and virgin, proceeded as usual to the chapel Bouchu at the castle. Princess Charlotte witnessed the sight from a window caged in by thin bars, ladies in waiting holding each of her hands bodily, She appeared well, though becoming very gray. She wore a mauve sllk dress and a white cap that she believes 18 the same she wore at the time of Maximilian’s death. On the pas- sage of each statue she nodded her head ab- sently, In a doll-like mechanical way, and when the procession was fading away fol- lowed it with her eyes, Iler appearance and the information I next gathered on the spot show that her mental condition 15 becoming worse rather than better. The queen of the Belgians, the king and the Count of Flan- ders trequently visit her, the latter spending at least two days at Buchart every fortnight. But the.queen no longer cares to take Char- lotte driving as she did frequently before. Charlotte never goes out but in the park of the castle with a watehful body guard. She sometimes stops and stares before an enclos- ure where the sick horses from the queen’s stable are sent to recuperate and to run about. in freedom, but generally her sole occupa- tlon during the walk Is picking up acacia leaves, which she puts on her hand and then blows off one by one. Despite the kindest treatment all hope of her mental recovery is forever destroyed. —— THE LAND BILL. Discussed at Length in the House of Commons, LoNDox, July 11-—In the commons this evening, Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, in moving the second reading of the Irish land bill, said it was merely an amendatory bill, one trying to remedy the injustice which experience had shown arose under the acts of parliament of 1870 and 1871. It brought the lease holders nnder the acts of 1881 and 1882, thus completing the work of (iladstone. The pronosed new clauses, which deal with the purchase of land, in accordance with the clauses of the land act suegestea by John Bright in 1870 in rezard to evictions, was propored as a substitute. Written notice tor a writ of execution of ejectmen t to allow the tenant, by means of the bankruptcy act, to obtain a stay of eviction, while at the same time spreading the liability of the tenant over an indefinite period, {u this pending measure the government Wwas alming at something like a final settlement. Banner- man. liberal, moved that the bill be rejected, as itdid not Include any means for the revi- sion of judicial rents.” He contended that the bill did nothing to meet the urgent evils of Lreland. Chamberlain strongly urged the house not to reject this temporary effort at a settlement, and at the same time asked the government whether the time had not come to consider the position of the landlords, who were bard pressed by the burden of family and other charges created when the land ~ was more profitable, ~ He trusted the government would listen to suggestions for the Improve- ment of the bill, from whatever quarter they came. The debate, on motion of Dillon, was adjourned. —_— Carnegie Explains, EpiNsuRrG, July 1lL.—Andrew Carnegie publishes a letter In reference to the tailure of Blaine to obtain admittance to the council chamber last Friday on the occasion of the presentation of the freedomn of the city to the writer. 1n this Carnegie says: “I am myself to blame for the accident of the exclusion of Blaine from the council chamber. Ihad ar- ranged with Blaine to accompany him on the way. Miss Blaine met with an accident which caused a slight injury to her ankle. She was compelled to return and her father accompanied her bach do their hotel. Mir. Blaine was thus retard®.

Evading Taxation, The county commissioners are now looking after a number of people in this county who hold deeds to land formerly known as school lands in this county. In every township there are sections sixteen and ~ thirty-six which are designated as school lands. Deeds to these lands, according as the tinal p: ments were made npony them, were fur- hished to the purchasers. Many of these deeds have never been placed on record, and as consequence, the owners of the property described 'haye not been assess- ed for taxation purposes.

There were three bands and an excellent array of elephants and camels and other wild beasts, while the number of male performers and beautiful equestriennes was never excelled in this city.

AN ENERGETIC CELESTIAL. A Romance of Two Hemispheres and Races—She Had Many Suitors and He Was Admired by the New Haven Helles, New York World: Yan Phon Lee, the young Chinese student who was graduated in the academic department of Yale uni- versity at the last commencement, was married to-day to Miss Elizabeth Maude Jerome. Yan was a very bright student during his course in college, and the girl he has married is good looking and an heiress to a fortune estimated at $100,000. She is about twenty-four years old, is a little taller than her husband and has olive eyes, light brown hair, a fine figure and a good complexion. She is the daughter of Mrs. E. Gilbert Jerome, who lives at 24 Gilbert avenue. Mrs, Jerome was a daughter of Hezekiah Gilvert, who died possessed of much valuable real es- tate, which passed to the use of his sce- ond wife, Mrs. Jerome's stepmother, and upon her death to Mrs, Jerome, who also has a life use of it. When she dies, it is understood, the property will pass over to the hife use of Mrs. Yan Phon Lee, to be held by her and heirs forever; but 1f she has no heirs her property will go to others. Yan Pion Lee wasintroduced to Libbie Jerome, as she was called by her girl companions, in Hartford some years ago. Previous to this meeting, Yan was very popular with the young women of New laven. His attracting so much admira- tion was often a subject of remark. He was sent to the United States by the Chinese government in 1883, together with a number of other Chinese boys of high birth to be educated. He was then a very young boy. He spent five years at sehool in Springfield, and then came to this city and entered the Hopkins rammar school, which prepares many ys for entering Yale. Upon complet- ing his course there, he entered the uni- versity, 1n the class of '84, but his fresh- man year had scarcely been completed when the order came from China that the students must give up their studies in America and return. This was quite a_ sad blow to a number of New Haven girls! But the order was imperative, and Yan went back to China with the rest of bis countcymen. He didn’t stay at home long, however, His love for American institutions, or an American firl, perhaps, was so strong that in 1884 he returned and entered Yale again with the class of '87. This time he came de- termined to stay, for he cut off his queue and declared his intention of becoming an American citizen. He is probably not on good terms with his home govern- ment or with his family who reside at Fragrant Hills, China, for he has prac- tically worked his way through Yale by delhvermg lectures and writing a littie book entitled, ‘W hen was a boy in China.” He was a high-stand man n college,and read an essay on “The Other Side of the Chinese Question’ at the re- cent commencement. It was soon after his return to this country that Yan's attention to Miss Jerome became marked. He took her to the various receptions and was fre- quently seen with her at other gather- ings. ‘She had other wooers, to be sure, but they found that they could not make :h.e ?hme“ %0, no matter how hard they ried. The wedding was in the parlor of Miss Jerome's home. Yan is a congregation- alist, and the ofliciating clergymsan was the Rev. J, H. Twitchell, of Hartford, who was assisted by the Rev. Dr. Hovey, of Bridgeport, The bride wore a gown of brown satin. “lhe groom wore & Prince Albert coat. The waistcoat and shirt-front were striped, The ushers and witnesses were E, O. Hovey, of Yale, '84, and W. M. Babcock, of Yale, '87, both of New Haven. Among the few guests were Professor Seymonr and Professor Tracy Peck, of Yale, and Yung Wing, of Hartford, whose marriage to a Miss Kel- logg, of Hartford, some years ago, was quite'a society event. He was at that time connected with the Chinese Lega- tion at Washington. Mrs, Yung Wing died about a year ago. After the céremony a wedding break- fast was served, and” Mr. and Mrs, Ya Phon Lee left for Narragansett Pier, where their honeymoon will be spent, They will reside in this city, where Yan Phon Lee says he is going to do news- paper work, —_— OCALIFUOKNIA EXOURSIONS.
