THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: UNDAY. AUGUST 26 1888, Every large city has, or should have, a portion devoted exclusively to first-class residences. Such a want has been supplied Omaha in PLACE. Note some of the Advantages DUNDEE % * First. The location is high, desirable, healthful, and commands a magnificent view. Second. No business of any kind will be permitted in the residence districts in Dundee Place, and if you build a home you have the assur- ance that livery stables or saloons will not be your neighbors, Third. No lot of less than 100 feet frontage will be sold, and no house allowed to be built costing less than $2,500, and must be at least 25 feet from the street line. Fourth. The streets will be graded without cost to purchasers. The park-like plan of Detroit sidewalks being adopted. Fifth. The price at presentis extremely low, 100 feet of ground costing no more than 25 feet i ing parties an excellent opportunity to secure a site for a home, and those who have not money at n any other desirable part of the city, afford- hand to build we will make a liberal loan. These advantages are worth your attention and careful consideration. One must, however, see the property to appreciate it. ‘We will take pleasure in showing the ground at any time you may call at our office.

KURTZ, General Managey IN AND ABOUT THE CAPITAL, ’Ihe Late Oonvention's Action Dis- cussed In Mass Meeting. A SCAB ENGINEER ASSAULTED. Awnother Complaint Against the Bur- lington Road—Winslaw Rear- rested—Other Lincoln tes of Interest. 1020 P STREET, LaxcoLy, August 25, The late convention has added fuel to the flame caused by the late primaries. Last night a crowd gathered at Bohanon's hall to sec what should be done. From two to five hundred of Lincoln’s citizens gathered to- gether. Many were sore because the sub- mission resolution passed the convention. They said so, and some very good reasons were given. Others were justly mad because 'of the cold blooded deal given Carter. W. 3. Moore took a decp interest in all that was said and done. But he made no speech. He listened. Ames talked about the grievances mnd Harwood told the same story in a differ- ent way and it sounded very nicel The orators were eloguent, but they suggosted no remedy, and, after all, there was possibly none Lo SUREest. @ILLISPIE ARRESTED, ‘W. T. Gillispie, a traveling man for Pierre Loorillard's tobacco house, was arrested this afternoon for assaulting J. Campbell, an en- ineer on the scab railroad route, with in- pnt to maim and kill. Gillispie and Camp- ‘bell got into an altercation at the corner of Eiglith and P streets last night over the Bur- lington strike: from words they came to blows, and to come out first best Gillispie drew a knife and commenced to cut and slaab, inflicting a serious wound over Camp- Dell’s right tempie. The gash is noarly two inches long and is cut to the bone. If it had becn a breadth lower it must have resulted in the enginoer’s death. Both par- ties were arrested at the time and arraigned bofore dudge Thurston this morning, escap- ing with nominal fines. This did not seem to satisfy Campbell for his narrow escape, and he filed a complaint just before noon with Judge Stewart aud caused Gillispie's warrest. The case came up for hearing at 2 o'clock, but the defendant filed his motion for a continuance, which the judge grauted. VAN BOSKIRK VS THE BURLINGTON J. R. Nan Boskirk states that he is a resi dent of Aurora and for cause of actic acainst the Burlington & Missouri Riv railroad company, filed the following befor thie state board of transportation : “Your complainant is regularly engaged in the agricultural business, including thresh ing machines, horse powers, engines, tanks LixcoLN BUREAU or THE OMANA Bes, } aud the like; that the Burlington rail- road company is @& common _carrier, existin, and organized . under the laws of the state, and is enguged in the trans- portation of passengers and property between various points of the state, including others hereinafter named; that the said railroad company has been guilty of excessive charges in the shipment of his goods to hun from dis tributing points in this state to Aurpra; that said charges are not warrauted in wview of the charges from Racine to Lincoln, dis e between these points considered; that the railrond company extorted aud compelled him to pay an excess of at least §7 in the shipmentof one invoice of goods weighing but 9,200 pounds, for which the complainant asks adjustment aud restitution Notice and copy of the complaint was served on the Burlington I«»\ln{, and the cuuse will probably have a hearing at the session of the bourd carly in September.

The Boyd Enters on a New Season To-Morrow Night. IT IS A REJUVENATED TEMPLE. The Mouse Occupied For the Past Two Months By Artists, Carpenters, Gilders, Exc.—The Opening At- traction—The Grand. The Seventh Season at Boyd's. The theatrical scason opens at Boyd's on next Monday evening. It will be the seventh “‘first night” in the history of the house. As in former years such an occasion will be of unusual interest to a large number of people, of whom, many make it a point to be present at every recurring anuiversary of the open- ing of the house. During the summer vacation the house has been practically closed, A score of artists, carpenters, gilders and assistants took pos- session of the stage and auditorium, and the result which attended their efforts may be discovered in the rejuvenated appearance of the house, from the vestibulo to the stage door. There are few theatres in the country ‘which seem endowed with perpetual youth. But one of these is Boyd’s. It may not, by any means, ve styled an old house. Butit has been so constructed and decorated as at all times to appear fresh, beautiful and in- viting. Added to these peculiarities is the care exercised by Manager Boyd in keeping the place as neat as a well-ordered private home. The vestibule has been decorated, the ca pets have been taken up, beaten and r placed; the gallery supports have been regilded, the main chaundelier, the smaller ones and gallery pendants have been bur- nished so that the metal shines like polished gold, and the cut glass prisms like links of 'crystal. Tho stage has been supplied with a beautiful st of tormentors, a grand border in imitation of wine colored velvet. Eight new wings or sido scenes have been painted, besides six flats or back scenes, which ave oaken and mahogany interiors, and a beautiful fancy chamber full of delicate poiuts of beauty which will be used in medimval picces. Be- sides these, the stock in “props”’ has been enlarged, new furniture has been purchased and new carpets secured for the stage. Later in the season Len Grabam is to still further add to the stock of scenery, which will make the supply the largest in this western cou try. Al this is to be put under & chemcal process which renders it uninflam- able and thus prevents all danger of conflagration, In the manner of appli- auces Lo speedily extinguish a fire the Boyd is singularly well supplied. Below the stage there are a dozen hydrants with buckets and hose, while on each side of the stage there is a stand pipe rising to the roof, to which on the stage and in the ‘“‘flies” there are at- tached lengths of nozzled hose. In the pipe there is a pressure of 100 pounds and in case of need, four powerful streams of water could be directed to any llul‘l of the stage in less than five seconds, There are two mem- bers of the fire department on the stage at every performance whose duty it is to handle this hose. The exits from the theatre are broad and easily reached and have been known to empty a full house 1u five minutes. Besides the ample one at the entrance, there isa double door on the east side of the auditor- ium le:nllnf to a broad flight of steps which g0 to the alley in the rear, and which alone trom much as are freqently found in thea- res. In the reception room the ladies will find a wonderful transformation. It has been dec- orated in lincrusta walton and rich embossed paper of old and burnished gold. The win- dows are hung with lace curtains and the chandeleir, the most beautiful in the city, is gorgeous in its refloction from the beveled plate mirrors which line the walls, hos. I, Boyd is the wmanager of the house and D. W. Haynes assumes the bosition of treasurer on the first of next month. ‘The orchestra this season will be under the leadorship of Salisbury, of New York, the celebrated violinist, who promises an_excel- lent orchestra. Some of the attractions for this scason are as follows: Lycenm theater company, Rhea, Nat Goodwin, Natural Gas, Marie Prescott, A. M. Palner's Madison Square _company, Jarbeau, Robson and Crane, Frederick Warde, itrakosch opera company, Bolossy Kiralfy, W. J. Florence, Rudolph ‘Arinson’s New York Casino opera company, Rosina Vokes, Voyage en Suisse, Carleton’ opera ;company, Rose Coghlan, Sol Smith_Russell, ' Bostonian opera _compa Effie Ellsler, Milton Nobles, Dixey's Adonis, Frank Daniels’ Little Puck’ company, James O'Neil, Still Alarm, Lotta, Colonel Sinn's Fascination company. The Grand's Reopening. The Grand opera house will be reopened Monday, September 3. Since the closing of the last season great improvements have been made and we believe the theater-going public will be much changed with the radical changes, The seats that were not particu- larly desirable last season have been taken out'and & large balcony, well seated, with a gallery behind it, has been built, the space under the balcony ' being given up to the largest and finest foyer that can be found in any theater in the entire western country. Manager Crawford is spending all his time her eat present gotting tho house ready for the opening. Work is being pushed as rap- idly as day and night gangs can do it. The opening attraction will be Rice's “Evange- line” company, always popular, but more 5o this season than ever, for the additions to the company include Fay Templeton, who is nging better than ever and wmore of a favor- ite than ut any time since she made her operatic debut; also George S. Knight, whose “Otto” is one of the cleverest Ger- man dialect parts ever seen on the stage; also Louise Moutague, who is widely known as Barnum’s 10,000 beauty. The company is composed of sixty-five people, all of whom have been most carefully selected by Mana- ger Rice. They open in ‘*Conrad, the Corsair,” and it promises to be tho great theatrical success in this city during fair week, The Twelve 7 The romantic logendai Twelve Temptations” will be produced at Boyd's opera house for the week commenc- ing Monday, August 27.

Tne Bee reporter's railroad friend was seen yesterday, but ho was busy and could not be detained. He was asked if he had read the so-called denial in a morning paper. “Yes,” he answered. “‘That is tosay, I ran through it hurriedly.” Anticipating the next question of the re- porter, he continued: “I do not recall all the points the writer at- tempted to make, but I remember thinking atthe time that your rival was piqued at being ‘scooped’—that's what you call it, I believe—and was bound to make a case, or else he was both ignorant and gullible. “For example: 3 “He said President Perkins resides in Boston, That is gross ignorance, for Mr. Perkins has had his home in Burlington for many years, *“Then, again: “He asserted it to be impossible to hold a meeting of the board of “Q" di- rectors because the members are scattered all over the country. ““An interestedspes *‘It is probably true that the direct widely scattered.

A. s W. Edgerton, scoretary, The convention was for the purpose of elect~ ing delegates to attend the state convention at Hastings on_September 4. A large nume ber of adherents to the party placed them- selves on record by signing the following declaration of principles: “We, the undersigned voters of Douglas county, believing in the principles of the union labor party as set fortn in the platform adopted at the national convention, held at Cincinnati, 0., May 16, 1858, pledge our- selves to vote the union labor ticket, and do all in aur power to promote the interests of the party.” J. R. Sovereign, of Atlantic, Ia,, made an eloquent address, ‘indicating the purpose of the party, and eulogizing its principles. The secretary then read the platform of the party, which was received with much enthusiasm. A committee of three, consiste mg of M. C. Holland, Z. P. Hedges and J. W. Edgerton were appointed by the chair to select delegates. The following were elected by ballot : Allen Root, Z. P. Redges, James W. Boileau, J. L. Ebersole, Dan Stephens, A. H.

Holland and dgerton, many baliots had been taken without result the committee was instructed to can- vass the various procinets of - the county and return the names of the remaining delegates at the meeting of the party on Saturday next. The convention adjourned to meet as above. V. Speech, The Han. J, R. Sovereign of Atlantic, Ta., editor of the Industrial West, spoke to a large number of the union labor party at G. A. R. hall last night. Mr. Sovereign, who1s an able expoucnt of the cause, is by trade a murble carver, but for five years past has been conducting a labor journal. He opened his discourse with the proposition that the people of the west were neither lazy, shiftless nor idle. That they are an industrious people. He ocited that the inventions of the century were the result of labor, and that all the material good to the nation was due to labor. The party had sprung from the wrongs of class orgnizae tion in the interest of capital and in the in- terest of protected labor. He stated that the debts of the United States—private, cor- porate and public--amounted to §26,000,000,000, and that the country had but £1,000,000,000 to pay it. Labor had to pay §1,000,000,000, and had to borrow 56 cents to sustain itself until it could earn §1 to pay it. That capital llowing up everything it could carn its debts. He concluded with the y of an Omaha iron moulder who was out of employment by a Polander, and went to Montana. He there saved enough money to go home to the east, and saved alittle moucy, which all went' to bury a sister. Opposition made him discouraged and he forsook work for drink. He became a tramp, w arrested in Omalia as a vagrant and finally died in Kearney, The aud might draw their own conclusions. Mr. Sovercign’s address was interpersed with many witty allusions and was vigors ously applauded. Political Events, A republican club was formed last evening in’ Dr. Hertzman's rooms in the Secon district of the Ninth ward. An enthusiastio crowd was present und a strong organization is assured. There was a graud raily of the Scandi- navian republicans on the corner of and Saunders strects last night. Rousing speoches were made and a band intersy sweet music between the talks. A crowd was in attendance who shouted them- selves hoarse A ropublican pole, 110 feet high, was crected in Florcnce' last evening. W.
