The Evans lot sale at auction was con- cluded Wednesday evening. Two hundred and three lots were sold. The prices aver- aged £352.50 per lot. This, for a single day's sale, is remarkable, and ‘'what may be con- sidered more 80 is the fact that uearly all the buyers were men who wili proceed at once to build upon them either business blocks or residences, A large number of others were disposed of yesterday at private salo, Mr. Evans duplicating the prices paid during the auction on lots similarly situated.

Closing the Old Term, Making Ready For the New—A Tribute to En- gineer Moore—Accident to the Motor Wire, Opening Day of the Races. The openiug day of the fall trotting meet- ing at Union park was all that could be de sired, so0 far as the weather was concerned, with the exception of a high wind that blew up the stretch during the latter part of the afternoon. The attendance was rather light, as is usually the case on the first day, The track was in fine condition, and the horses entered_were excellently fitted to make fine races. The judges were M. C. Wilbur and John Mitchell, of Omaha, and G. D, Wilson, of Council Bluffs. Timer,J. H. McShane, of Omaha. The feature of the day was the wonderful performance of the two-year-old pacer, Ed. Rosewater. The wind died down somewhat about the time of his great speed trial and made the difficulties of the feat somewhat less. The track was a little too dry for record-breaking, but the wonderful gray succeeded in doing \hat he attempted that is, to beat 2:24}. Betting was heavy on the result, and the backers of the game animal coined money. Mr. Soloman, the owuner of the colt, is positive that this time c beaten under more favorable circums Another attempt will be made to-morro; The races are of sufficient interest to war- rant the attendance of a large crowd, and it is expected that both Omaha_and 'Council Bluffs will be well represented at the park to-day. ‘The result of yesterday's races is us follows: FIRST RACE. The first event of the day w. trot. There were nine_entries were drawn for as follows: Bots pole, Mollie H sccond, Welchman third, Peter Gardner fourth, Golden Wing fifth, Jennie Lynn sixth, Fannctte seventh, Lady Leighton cighth. They were sent_away on the fitth attempt. Although there was a large field, they went to the turn well bunched. ; As they swung into the back stretch Mollie H forged to the front and led the way to the half, whera Jennie Lynn began to open the road. The race down the stretch was not particularly interesting. Mollie H fell back 10 third, s Fannette was pushed to the front. Jennie was driven for a close finish and took second place, being & nose behind Fannette as they went under the wire. They were placed as follows: Fanette, Jeunie Lynn, Mollie H, Welchman, Betsy Baker, Peter Gardner. Time— In the second heat the horses were sent off without trouble. Peter Gardner had a little the best of the start, and at the turn took the pole, holding it to the half, where Welch man passed him, On the upper turn Fan- nette also moved up and held second place very nicely around into the home stretch. Welchman broke two or three times getting squared for the wire, and Gardner made a short run for second place. Fannette trotted very prettily, and set the puce too fast for the others, Welehman being forced off his feet. The race to the wire was ex- ing. Welchman and Pete Gardner did considerable running and Fannctte was pocketed, but was given the heat, as she would undoubtedly have won it if given a fair show, and trotted the mile without a break. Peter Gardner was placed second and Welchman third. Jennie Lynn took fourth, Betsy Baker fifth, Mollic H sixth, Lady Leighton seventh, Golden Wing eighth. Time—2:36. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting them away in the third heat. A start was_ finally secured which was the exact duplicate of the preceding one. Gardner ook the lead at the turn, Welehman a close second, and the others trailing to the quarter pole. The race was a close one to the finish. Jennie Lynn was let out on the back stretch, and took an_easy lead, but Welchman and Fannette stayed by her to the wire. Welch- man was in the air half of the time, but the mares trotted handsomety. At the finish they were Jennic Lynn first, Welchman second, Fannctte third, Lady Lelghton fourth, Péter Gardner fifth, Setsy Baker sixth, Mollie H. seventh, Golden Wing eighth. Tim 3. The horses were tired as they came out for the fourth heat, and it was gotting dark. It was almost too dark to sce the horses when_ they were finally got away, after countless attempts, As well as could be seen from the judge’s stand, it was & running race the greater part of the way. Fannette was left at the start, but by square trotting and wonderful speed managed to securo sec- ond place at the outcome. Welchman continued to dance and run, and was well imitated by the majority of tho others. The position at the wire was Jennie Lynn first, Fannotto sec- ond, Welchman third, Lady Leighton fourth, Poter Gardner ifth, Mollie H sixth, Golden Wing seventh, Betsy Baker eighth. Time— 2:30%. The race will be fluished this afternoon at 2o'clock. Fannette was very tired, but is heavily backed to win the last heat and race to-du the 2:35 Positions Baker SECOND RACE. This was the 2:25 trot and_pace. There were seven entries, but only three started. The phenomenal two-year-old pacer, Ed Rosewater, was one of the entries, and the owners of the trotters refused to 'start un- less distance was waived. This was refused until after the race was called, and only tho pucers responded. It wasa walk-away for Rosewater. The only object was to place second and third moneys. In the first heat Rosewater drew the pole, Oliver E second and John third. Positions were unaltered at the finish, 0.

The line work on the wires of the electric motor company was completed about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when the last switch near the Methodist church was put in position, Scarcely had the work been done when the great wires began to stretch under an enormous strain. Immediately fol- lowing this the wires suddenly slackened, the insulators along the cross iwires began to unhook, as the main wires swayed vio- lently froi side to side, and as they came rattling to the ground it was evident that there was a break somewhere. It was quickly located at the Northwestern cross- ing. A steam shovel attached to a fre train had collided with the wires, which were twenty-three feet high at that point, and before the train could be stopped the damage was done. Both wires were broken, one of them in two pla The linemen were set to work repairmg the damage as quickly as possible, but it will require two eays to undo the mischief. It was intended to have put on regular trains, yesterday ufternoon, running every ten winutes, but the accident prevented. It is hoped to get trains running to-day, and as 8001 a8 possible, a regular schedule” will be blished.

Joseph Durand, a traveling man in the employ of Chapman, Green & Co., of Chicago, was playing pool last ev ning in the Manhattan billiard parlors, with a stranger, and before the games were %settled all parties concerned gained quite a little unpleasant notor- iety. Both players were experts with the cue, and they played fora dollar a game, “*just to make it interesting, you know.” Durand proved too much for the stranger, and the latter was *“out of soup” at the end ef eleven games. He left the table and started toward the counter in the front part of the room, and Durand supposed he was going to settle for the table. On attempting to leave the room a few mitutes later he was surprised to learn that his opponent had left without paying, and he was re quested by Mr. Rudio to settle the bill, his he refused to do, and an officer was called in, who took Duramd to the station. Ho finally offered to settle his half of the bill amounting to 55 cents, and Rudio was compelled to- accept it, s a refusal would have beon a tacit acknowledgment that the table was used for gambling, the loser to pay for its use. Durand was exceedingly “hot’® over the matter, und promised to give the plilce pleuty of free advertising among the traveling men who rup in kere. The spect tors generally sided iu with him, and felt that he hua been subjected to needless in- dignities. Hoth players had beeu previously in the gambling houses farther up the street, and the change resulted disustrously. It is hardly probablo that any of the parties ‘con cerned will bé especially benelitted by the occurrence.

New York Time One day last weck Dr. Rush Huidekeper, chief of the veterinary school of the University of Pennsylvania and a prominent figure in Philadelphia society, gave a dinner to anumber of friends at the Philadelphia club. For the last thirteen years Dr. Huidekeper has owned a famous gray mare, hunter and steeplechaser, named Pandor: At the dinner last week one of the principal dishes on the menu ard was “filet a la Pandora.” The guests supposed that the dish was named in honor of the old steepl chaser, whom they had scen take man a diteh and many, 4 fence and come in the winner of many an exciting race After the filet had Been caten and pro- nounced very toothsome by the guests Dr. Huidekeper remarked that he glad of his guests” app tion for his avorite horse, “for,” he said, ‘‘you have just eaten he The guests looked at each other in amazement, and after a short interval of silence there s a roar of luughter. Then,in an instant, all seemed to remember Pan- dora as they had seen her at the last meet, and then, in' reverential silence. the company rose to their feet, lif their glasses to their lips, and sipped in solemn silence to the memory of the old gray mare they had just devoured. Pundora was shot. She was twenty years old, and on account of lamend in her fore feet she had become a bur. den to herself. It was not on account of her old age that she doomed to death, but because her front fect were 80 sore that she could no longer take fences and stone walls, Aside from her lameness the was as frisky as most horses at half her age. The gray coat, speckled with red spots, made her un- prepossessing in appearance, but she was the heroine in most of the hunts in and arouud Philadelphia that have taken place since the centennial. She only missed one encampment since the reorganization of the national guard, ten years ago. After Pandora was shot the choicest meat was cut from her bones and taken to the cuisine of the Philadelphia club, where chef was sworn to secrecy, and the meat was dis- guised as a joint of beef and served to Dr. Huidekeper's guests. Dr. Huidekeper this evening, in speaking of the dinner at which Pan- dora was devoured, said: “Five years ago one of the biggest restaurants in Berlin were sold out and the bills for beef furnished were all presented by horse dealers. All horse meat is as good as beef. It is a pity that horse meat t euten in this country. The horse would not have to be worn out and sold to hucksters at $10 and $12 when they would bring good prices for meat. The people in this city eat beef a great deal more unfit for food than good horse meat. I can go to the stock yards in West Phil- adelphia and pick out a dozen head of cattle any morning that are utterly unfit to eat that ave sent to market. There is 0o inspection of meat in this eity ana the law is violated every day. Theé only beef that is properly inspected is that eaten by the Hebrews, which is killed according to their rule. The council of the veterinary school of Belgium even recommended dog meat for human food after being properly inspected. While in Europe several years ago I inspected the slaughter houses of Berlin, On my return home I wrote an_article which was published in the Veterinar, view describing the Berlin inspection, which is the best in the world. There are 000 human deaths in this country every year from tuber- culosis, and nearly one-half of them are the direct result: of eating diseased beef.” Segato’s Ghastly Table. ears ago o, thereabouts, says ¢ in the 0 un, Giuseppe Segato, a Florentine physician, an- nounced that he lind discovered a way of petrifying the human body so as to preserve its form without change of ap- pearance. He submitted specimens of his work to the grand duke of Tuscany, who thought well of the discovery and offered to buy it from Segato. The phy- sician refused the offer, und while he waited for a higher bid died, either suddenly or after a Very short illness. He never revealed his process, and his secret was buried with him, The following description of Begato’s best-known specimen, first published about a year ago in a medical journal, has since appeared in almost every newspaper in the countr, In the Pitti palace at Florence is a table which for originality in the mat- ter of construction and ghastliness in conception is probably without o rival, It was made by € soppo Segato,- who passed several 'years of his life in 1ts manufacture. To the casual observer it gives the impression of .a curious mosaic of marbles of different shades and - colors, fer it looks like polisned stone. ' In reality ‘it is com- posed of human muscles and vicera. No J5a than b Hiutired Ballos wecs requisi- sioned for the material. The table is round and about a yard in diameter, with o pedestal and four claw . feet, the whole being formed of petrified Human maing, tal are made from the intestines. the claws from hearts, livers and lungs, the natural color “of which is preserved, The table top is constructed of muscles artistically arvanged, and it is bordered with upward of a hundred eyes, the ef- fect of which is said to be highly artis- tic, since they retain all theirluster and seem to follow the observer. Segato died about fifty years ago. He obtained his bodies from the hospitals and in- durated them by impregnation with mineral salts, Iu the first place the ‘‘table” is not in the Pitti pulace, but in the anatomical collection of the new St. Mary's hospital; there the present writer had an oppor- tunity of examining it, in compiny with Dr. Stanislao Bianchi, who is in charge of the collection. The ‘“‘table” is oval, of what looks like mahogany; it is about eighteen inches long by twelve wide, and consists of a top only; it has no appearance whatever of ever having had a pedestal. The human petrifactions on it consist of thin and small sections or slices about one- sixty-fourth of an inch thick. which are veneered upon it. Some are diamond- shaped, some oval, others square, with surfaces like fine-grained wood, all ar- ranged in a symmetrical rectangular oblong design; there is a border around it, presenting at first sight the ap- pearance of a. checker-board. Some of these veneers, by the effects of damp- ness, have become detached; one or have fallen off altogether. Prof. Biunchi pointed out that these vencers were small bits of organisms of the hu- man body, such as the loins, kidneys, liver, spleen, lungs, skin—all of natural color—and that probably in order to get them of small size they had been taken from boys’ cadavers, There were, how- ever, no human eyes in the border or anywhere else. r. Bianchi showed other specimens of Segato’s process—a female scalp of perfectly natural color, with long, flow- ing hair attached; a woraun’s breasts, fair and white, perfectly life-like.
