A special train running northward on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omahn tracks across Grace street struck a carringe containing Mrs. Orpha Pond, of this city, and and her four children. The vehicle was overturned and the oc- cupants were thrown violently to the ground, the bed of the carriage falling upon them, Mrs. Pond was the most severely hurt, Her left arm was frac- tured below the elbow, her knee was badly bruised and there were several gashes on her head. Her little daughter, fwed 7 years, sustained injuries in her right arm and back, and all the chiidren were more or less bruised, It was thought by the doctor at first that she had sus- tained some internal injury, but when she was taken to her home at the corner of Thirty-fourth and Lake streets about 6 o’clock, she seemed to have recovered from the shock and was in a fair way to recover, A Fight With Revolvers, About 2:30 yesterday morning C.E. Dins more, cashier of the Second National bank, received some ugly wounds in tho head from a revolver in the hands of Frank Parmelee, The affair happened at Foley & Darst's, No. 1412 Douglas street. ~ There has been a misunder- standing between the two for some time and when Dinsmore saw Parmalee at Foley & Darst’s he drew a revolver and avowed his intention of killing him. The revolver was knockerd out of Dinsmore’s hand and secured. Thereupon Parmalee drew his revolver and rushing at Dins- more struck him over the head with the butt end of it several times. Each blow left its mark, one of them making a deep gash on the forehead about two inches long. Both men were arrested and taken to the lockup. Parmalee was let out shortly after on bail. ‘This morning Dins- more was fined $20. One of Many. Fampury, Nef Sept. 6.—To the Editor of the Beg.—Dear Sir: Enclosed tind our check to order for $3.65.

Patterson’s span of horses took fright and ran away, Mr. Patter- son and his wife were both thrown vio- lently to the ground and badly bruised, but not seriously injured. In running through a barb wire fence, one of the horses had a tendon in s hind leg com- pletely severed, which will permanently maim him. The horse is valued at $1,000. o Omaha Volunteers Organize, Catching the enthusiasm of the New York firemen's visit, the members of the old volunteer fire department of Omaha formed an association among themselves yesterday afternoon at the Millard. Sen- ator Manderson and Messrs. Kennedy, Miner and others are at the head of the project and their co-operation in the affair is a suflicient guarantee that the initial meeting will result in a successful orgamzation, “Who knows but that some day,” said one of the New York firemen, speaking among his comrades about the meeting, *‘we may have an op- portunity of meeting the Omaha boys in New York on a trip, and you bet we'll give 'em a warmer.” Dress Cutting School, 1613 Howard.

L Yesterday was a most interesting day at the rifle range. - It closed the eeven- teenth annual competition and one of the best ever held by the selected rifle men of the United States military division of the Missouri. THe competitors were composed of a team of twelve sclected eharp shooters from each of the four de- s?r'nelu 'uvuntw‘hich ll‘m fi.finrus ;}R’ partments composing this military divi- vlaced, is apt to confuse the sight, v yet the skirmish resulted m sion, viz: the departments of the Platte, x score of 50.67 per cent of of Texas, of Dakota and of the Missour1. Each team besides had two alternates and was commanded by a captain, also selected for his established skill as a shooter, The Platte team was com- manded by First Lieutenant James B. Jackson, of the Seventh infantry; the ‘Texas by Captain Edgar Z. Steever, of the Third cavalry;the Dakota by Captain Frazier A. Boutelle, of the First cavairy, and the Missouri by First Lieutenant Charles J. Crane, of the Twenty-fourth infantry, There were three preliminary days of informal practice at the range before the competition was opened. In those days the men had the opportunity of becoming familiar _with the typography of the range and familiarizing themselves with the distances, elevations and depressions of ground, so that their calculations for rapid work might not suffer,- and then followed the four days of competion. Yesterday, the final day, when the scores were completed and medals awarded, was of course the most interesting of all, It was like the home-stretch on the heat on a race course, and to its parti pants was fully as_exciting, yet it was witnessed by barely a car load of specta- tors outside of those immediately inter- ested and concerned in the work. The preliminary and first three days were accompanied by the finest weather thatcould be desired. Yesterday, Lowever, opened unfavorably. The rain of the early morning continued until nearly 8 o’clock, and there were mists for a time which were finally cleared away by a stift breeze from the north and a hittle east, almost directly into the faces of the shooters. is was favorably regarded by the Dakota team, who had been ac- customed to practice under the same condition, but unfavorably by the Texas team, whose oftenest practice had been attended by a cross breeze. Yet never- theless some admirable shooting was done by each of the teams. In some in- stance is was exceedingly close, and out of the whole number of shots, as will be seen by the score, a very few points, would "have changed the result. The positions defined by the regulationsin the known distance range require standing at 200 yards, sitting or kneeling at 300 and laying down at full length at 500 and 600 yards. In 'the latter the positions hits, which is regarded as about the best record so far made in that classs of prac- tice. This ended the contest, and after the close the various teams and -details assembled in dress parade, and in the ab- sence of General Terry, General Crook presented the medals to the successful contestants, 1n a brief speech, in which he simply thanked them for their earnest attention to the duties upon which they had entered, and congratulated them upon their success. Following were the successful contestants: Gold Medals—Sergeants Peterson and Mitchell, two medals each, one for known range and one for skirmish; Private Feeny and Lieutenant Malcomb. Silver Medals—Sergeants Unger, Crow, Palmer, Wood, Randall, Corporal Kelly and Private Miller. These awards place Unger, Crow and Heenan 1n the ranks of “‘distinguished marksmen’’ and bar them from future diyision contests. The result by dc lows: Dakota, Tex souri, On the 15th inst the ‘“‘distinguished marksmen,”’ selected last year from di- vision competitions, will meet for prac- tice. artments was as fol- as, Platte and Mis- CMENTS, Frank Mayo in The Royal Guard at Boyd's. Several years ago Frank Mayo said n this city he had played “Davy Crockett” 80 often that he frequently felt while making up for the part he would go crazy because of the consciousness that the people seemed irrevocably to demand that he play nothiag else for them. At the time, he was conscientiously endea- voring to find a new piece, and his faith- ful and persistent effort has since been g0 rewarded in this respect that, for all time, his connection with the frontiors- man ought charitably to be consigned to oblivion. Mr. Mayo can and does play other characters and two of these are in ‘‘Nordeck” and ‘‘The Royal Guard.” His house last night was full to the ceiling and the play and Mr. Mayo, as well as Miss Alice Fischer, Miss Helen Rand and Miss Dolores Marbourg, made AMUS chosen by the contestants were either I’\:O"D“““red hits, The same piece what is known fs the “Texas Grip,” | Will ~be played this afternoon with the left leg through the gun strap, | With “Nordeck” ~ for — to-night. pd. THE GRAND OPERA. The Mikado was again sung last night at this house to a large audience, which encored almost every aria and chorus in the piece. A number of original hits were introduced with happy effect. The whole company seemed disposed to go to extremes to please, and the fact was not overlooked by the audience. The cos- tuming of all the characters was the richest that has ever been seen here in the piece, The same opera this after- noon and to-nigh THE VEOPLE'S.

At tne commencement of yesterday's practice, the following:were the positions of the competitors 1n the known distance runs, as formed by their records on the three preceding runs:’ Sergeant Mitchell, TINrd infantry. Sergeant Palmer, Third infantry. Corporl Peterson, Fi th davalry Private Feeney, Fifth TnTantry Lieutenant; Macomb, Fifth cavalry. First sergeant Unger, Fifth infants Corporal Kelly, Sixth infantry.

Sergeant Seekamp, Fifth cavalry Private Dahlquist, Third cavalry Lieutenant Kerr, Seventeenth inf: Sergeant Lewis, Seventh infantry Private Miller, Third cavalry. . Sergeant Fields, Fifth infantry Serzeant Scholle, Seventh infal Private Deitz, Seventeenth infantry. Of the above contestants Dietz, Mor- gan, Feeney and Lieutant Hardin had preyiously carried off wedals and were regarded as crack shots. For some rea- son Dietz fell far below his record, and hie fatled yosterday to do much toward regaining his old position, At the close firng at 200 yards, Sergeant Palmer, who had worked himself previously up to the second position on the preceding days, seemed yesterday to have become rattled and dropped to the fourth posi- tion, from which he failed to recover, nlnddl’elerson and Feeney climed to the third. {n the 500 yards run Peterson shot ahead to first position got a tie with Mitchell and Palmer managed to con- tinue fourth.

The first time he got #5, the second $30, the next $15, then $10and the last before this time $5. He says that he is not alone in the tickets but that the young men of the house have formed a syndicate and have invested $150 in tickets this month.

HOW OUR BATTLES WERE WON Shown by the Big G. A. R. Sham Fight Yesterday. (VETS" AND INFANTRY IN LINE. An Interesting Engagement in Which 000 Boldlers Quickly Dispose of 20,000 Rounds of Ammunition, The early morning rain of yesterday had a discouraging effect upon the attendauce at Camp John A, Logan. The ground became damp and many of the campers found it impossible to light their fires for breakfast. The storm impressed some people with the belief that it would continue througihout the day, and this thought impelled thousands of them to take the most convenient traing for home. The sun, however, came out bright and warm before 10 o'clock and soon dried the ground and the damp- ened tents. Each incoming train, however, brought hundreds of visitors, nly from the city and these spent the day in viewing the sights, conversing with the veterans and finall witnessing the sham battle, which tool place in_the afternoon on the parade ground. The attendance was such that not alone the visitors’ stand full but the sides of the square were ed by hun beings three and four rows deep. o battle was contested without respect to federal or confederate lines. The in- fantry was divided, the larger and more successful body being under the com- mand of Major Butler, of the Second in- fantry, the gallant and experienced oflicer in charge of the United States troons on the ground, the weaker being under the direction of Major Porter. 'The veterans were also divided,the victors being under the command of Colonel Culver, and the opposing side by S. B. Jones. There ~ were about = six hundred soldiers engaged _in the fight. The command of Major Butler first took up a position on the west side of the fiecld and bivoucked. They were soon followed by Colonel Woodrufl’s light battery, who sought seclusion in the bushes in the northwest corner of the square, where water convenient, About two hundred ans took up position in the rear of the infantry and soon after the enemy put out a picket squad, which was met and driven back by & similar body from Major Butler's troops. Another and a larger squad was sent out by Major Porter, whieh pressed an opposing force back almost upon the lines, when relief was afforded them by the main body, with the result that Por- ter's imen were again driven back. inally, the latter oflicer determined on an attack, and led his troops to the front, where they were resisted by superior numbers and prevented from going beyond the middle of the tield. Be- tween the opposing lines a distance of ){‘orhans two hundred feet intervened. here they halted and opened and contine ued a rdttle of musketry for five min- utes, during which time each soldier fired as frequently as his skill at mani ulating the rifle would allow him. tory seemed uncertain, but at the bugle’s command Colonel Woodrufl’s battery dasned to the scene and poured into the Porter men, with the effect that the latter dropped back out of sight of the peoble in the main stand. They made another resistance, however, when the Butler command and Woodrufi’s battery again made it warm for them for five minutes more, when they finally gave up the con- test and fled. The veterans accom- panied each side in its retreat and advance in the regular conflict, tut beyond this took no actual part. There were many delays in the battle, but on the wholé it was quite a commondable struggle and enabled some people to realize how dreadful war may be when contending forces struggle for supremacy. Twenty thousand rounds of ammunition s provided for the fight ana all were consumed. To-day the veterans will return to their homes, the camp will be dismantled and the Nebraska soldiers reunion of 1887, will be a memory of the past. The Theatrical Profession.
