-, & > PATTI CAPTURES TRE COAST. Ban Franciscans Wildly Enthusias- tic Over the Queen of Song. GIVEN A GRAND RECEPTION, The Wealth and Refinement of the City Worship at the Shrine of the Diva—Thousands Entranced. A Musical Epoch. The season of Italian grand opera now in progress at San Francisco is surpassing the ondest hopes of the music loving people of the Pacific coast. The spacious Grand opera house is crowded nightly with the wealth and refliement of the city of the Golden Gate. The newspapers devote column after column to descriptions of the magnificent attraction and the throngs which nightly gather to bo entertained by the incomvar- able artists who present the richest gems of the greatost composers tke world has ever produced. It bids fair to be an epoch in the musical history of the coast, the grandest feature of which will be the matchless per- formance of Patti, the queen of song. Patti appeared last Tuesday night in Ros- sini’s “Semiramide.” Thae follo wing quota- tions from theé leading San Francisco dailies will be of interest in Omaha in view of the comink event: ‘Che police and the proletariat met in front of the opera house long before the opera be- gan to keep the people from blocking the sidewalk. The star-breasted defenders of liberty herded the people in the street. They pressed them back from the curb and upon the cobbles. And still the curious throng stood and craned and tip-toed to catch glimpses of twinkling feet, sparkling diamonds and opera cloaks that, pawned, would have fed any one of them for a year. They were cursed and neacly run down by the liveried drivers. ‘Tney wrod upon one another us they surged back and forth under pressure of perforvid persuasion. Still they strained and looked, All classes of citizens were represented. From the dome to the pit of the vast build- ing fair women and wealthy men crowded the auditorium, and elegant costumes of the latest styles were displayed for the first ap- vearance of the diva. La belle Adeline, who 1 every way fits Shakespeare's de- scription of Cleopatra, that “‘age cannot use por custom staie her intinite variety,” was in excellent voice, and though on her first stage entrance she was none too enthusias- tically received with general applause, as act after uct sped aloag she sang and sacted in such a munner as to demonstrate that not an iota of ber hold on the public had been re- laxed. The part of Semiramiie does not atlow Mume. Patti much scope for displaying many of her beautiful toilets. In the character but one dress is worn. It consisted of a long-trained white cashmere, heavily em- broidered in gold. The body to match was decollete, with snort sleeves and trimmed with wide gold fringe. In the first act she wore over thia a blue cashwere cloak, to reach the base of her dress, and which was smbroidered in gold. Sne wore a crown of diamonds, bracelets of diamonds and o neck- lace of sapphires, emeralds and diamonds. In the second a changed her cloak for 8 red cashmere, also embroidered in gold. She also wore a different crown, consisting of sapphires, emeralds, rabies and diamonds. Her cincture 18 a mass of different kinds of jewels, and she caaries a jeweled poniard. It is a well-worn gibe to say that grand opera is asnobbery, und that the falsest affectation is the only attitude of pleasure possible to the ordinary eitizen, unleitered o his music, but plenty of such Philistines #ot all their money's worth and honestly en- joyed themselves. “Lhey were not all cognoscenti, tude who breathed so quietiy while ghe sang. but men among them who knew nd more of music than thoy know of Babylonian dy~ nasties cnjoyed 1t us any honest man enjoys a bird’s note 1nthe woods. Content to ac- cept the verdict of the specially informed, kuowing that they were listening to the very sweetest sounds on earth, they tried to get the clink of dollars out of their ears and un- derstand this less accustomed melody. And they succeeded. [t was more interesting to watch their faces than 1o uote the common~ place enthusiasm of the expert auditor. ‘When Arditi’s well known pate bobbed up in the conductor’s chair the house was packed, and while the overture was played 1t packed itself more tightly; so that when 8t last the eurtain rose upon the Babyloniun temple, the flood of men in evening dress baciced up and eddied at the kdoors, welling out iuto the corridors at overy opening; snd the aisles were choked with people seeking seats and peepte who had noue to seek.

George Myers was placed on trial in the district court before Judge Clarkson yester- any morning for the killing of Nels Planteen cn Decoration day last year. Myers, Planteen, Emil Gustafsen and J. H, Frisbie were playing pool in Gram's sa- loon, at the corner of Twentieth and Cum- ing street, and had some dispute as to who should pay for one of the gomes, Planteen and Gustafsen left the saloon and started south on Twentieth stroet. Myers and Prisbee ulso took the same direction for home and found Planteon and Gustafsen waiting at the corner of Twentieth and Burt streets, A quarrel ensued and resulted in Myers koocking Planteen down with a doorknob, which he picked up when he saw Planteen waiting for him. ‘I'he parties then separated and Planteen wont home alone. He was not supposed to be seriously hurt, but was taken very ill and died a few days afterward. The case was tried before Judge Hopewell at tho last term of court. the jury failing to agree. The testimony of Frisbie was very strong in support of Myers’ plea of self-defense, while Gustafson gave the chief testimony for the state. ‘This was the case in which the jury had a little internal row in attempting to arrive at averdict. A majority of the jury was for ncquittul, but one member held out for con- viction on the ground that Planteen was not prepared to die, and that Myers’ act was accordingly reprehensible, Dr. Svenson, wko attended Planteen and Frisbee, Mye:s' chief iwitness, are both ab- sent from the state and in opening the case- yestorday it was stinulated that the evi- dence given by them in the first trial of the case should be received in the present trial. J. T. Moriacty wus appointed by the court to assist Mr. Mahoney in the prosecution of the case. Myers has been in jail since last May and shows the effects of his confinement. His wife has been very ill during his imprison- ment and has been compelled to provide for her own support. District Clerk Moores read himself hoar se yosterduy on the journal ot the proceed= ings of the courts on Saturday. “The reading of the journal,” said Judge Doane, at the finish, *is conclusive evidence that the court’s rule regarding the filing of pleadings on time 18 & good one. The courts were busy all day Sat- urday granting leave to attorneys to file pleadings that should have been made before the opening of the term. Hereafter leave to Hie pleadings out of time will not be allowed except upon the best showing.” Judge Ciarkson will go before the county commissioners at their next meeting and asi for th2 appointment of at least two assist- ants for County Attorney Mahoney. “We have a very heavy criminal docket,” smd Judge Clarkson, ‘“‘and no one man can attend to half of the criminal business of this county. A refusal to give tho county attor- ney assistance will very seriously impede the business.” In reply to the statement made by one of the commissioners that the city attorney has the right and duty to try state cases in the police court, Mr. Mahoney says that such is not the case. The city attorney, he says, has no authority to try any cases that are not triavle in the police court. He has no authority whatever in the trial of a state case Tho county attoraey’s duties are thus defined in section 17 of the county attorney’s act: “Each county shall appear on behalf of the state beforo any magistrate and prose- cute all complaint made in behalf of the state of which any magistrate shall have jurisdiction, und he shall appear before any magistrate and couduct any examination which muay be had before such magistrate and shall also prosecute all ci suits be- fore such magistrate in which the state or county'is a party or interested.” g “I'bere are now six state cases pending in the police court,” said Mr. Mahoney, “a marder trial is in _progress in the district court, aud my entire time is needed in the Jones case. It is simply impossible for me to attend to all of the matters that are de- mandipg prompt consideration.” Commissioner Turner is reported to have chavged his mind and will vote in favor of @ving Mr. Mahoney assistants if he will make & request for them. “I don’t feel much like making a reauecst that they bave refused in advance,” said Mr. slahoney, “but something must be done and at onca.” The matter will be brought up at the next meeting of the commissioners, Ed Ball, charged with the larceny of a norse and buggy from William Seivers, will be placed on trial on Wednesday.

Details of Sunday Night's Shooting Affair at Brighton. AN OLD FEUD'S BLOODY SEQUEL. Fred Johnson Shot and Seriously Wounded by Herman Haffke— Both Men Placed Un- der Arrest. Haffke's Revenge. “Y0oU —— —— — —— runor I'll kill you,” was the command made by Herman Haffke w Fred Johnson about 6 o'clock Sunday evening. The men had been drinking in Smiley's saloon, which is situated just outside the city limits to the northwest. Both the men twore placed under arrost about 8 o’clock, but there will probably be no charge lodged against Johnson. Assistant County Attorncy Shea filea an information against Haffke, atlexing shooting with intent to kill, The prisoner was taken before Judge Hels- loy, yeserday but as he was ignorant of law or court proceedings the judge deemed it advisablo to send for some of Haffke's relations before ho was given o hearing. The case will be brought up again today. Johnson is a burly plasterer who has worked about Omatia for sevoral years. He is married and lives in Central Park. He re- mained in ghe central police station over night nafter receiving the atteution of the oty physician. His wounds are pain= ful but not serious, He was snhot on the back, right arm and hand. A few of the shot, No. 6, wera buried in the skiu of bis left le To a reporter Johuson made the foliowing statement: “For the first timo u long while I went out to the saloon vesterday to visit with O'Hanlon and Smiley, both of whom are acquaintances of mine. All day long we shook dice, drank liquor and played cards. It was some time after 12 o'clock when Haffke came in carrying ashot- gun. I believe he had been out hunting. He joined in the dice shaking and formerly he and I boxed bats for the beer. I acciden- tally hit him on the mouth, and as this was a foul on my part [ set 'em up. A half hour later a friend of mine named Bill Parmenter spoke of going home. Haffke's zun was be- hind the bar, 1 stepped outside the door sod was waiting for Parmenter when Haftke came out, and cocking his gun said: ‘Run you —— ———— ——or Ill shoot you.' I ran down the road and Haffke pursued me. Finally 1 got over into the brush and circled around back toward the saloon, Haffke pursued and urged his dog to find me, vowing he would kill me on sight. When within about forty feet of me Haffke raised his gun, and after taking deliberate nim, fired into my back. I keot running until i got into the saloon, when I rushed into the back room and fell. Haffke re- mained outside for an hour. He even reloaded his gun and declared he would finish me with the next barrel, as the first one was not heavily loaded. Then he wanted money, stating that he would not kill me if T would give him money. He also demanded money from the saloon keepers. Finally some one started him off and he got away for the time being.” “Did you ever have any trouble with Haffke befores" *‘No; but I did have a row about two years ago with a friend of his.”" Johnson declares that he will prosecute the case to the bitter end. Haffke is a Swede of chunky stature, and works at common labor. He cried like @ child as he gave his statément to the re- porter. “Idon’t want to get m trouble,” said be. “Ibavea wife and a little pacch of land that I worked hard day and night to get. I want to settle with Johnson but they won’t let me see him. I was drinking consid erable yesterday and don’t remem- ber. just exactly how it was. We shools dice in the saloon several times, when finally Johnson pounced upon me and ' would have Inilled. me I believe if the men had not stopped him. Ho went our first and I fol- lowed. Although my gun was nit loaded 1 did raise it to my shoulder and poiut it at Johnson. He started to run. I then loaded my gun and started down the road. 1 was afaid that the man would kill me. I calied out to him to come up to me and I would not hurt him. But he sneaked off in the brush. I thought he had gone for a club. In regard to the old feud between himself and Johnson, Haffke smd that about two years ago Johngon had assaulted both him- self and his brother-in-law, whose name is . Coukle. A reporter who started out in a eab expecting to run down a seasational murder, had a rough but amusing experience making his way across the hills and dales ot the North Owaha suburbs. Half of his time was occupied in walking in the middle of the road, so that the cab would not go into the diteh or off a bridge. When he got to Omaha Heights he knocked at the door of the first house he came to and asked the way to the scene of the bloodshed. The lady who came to the door had heard nothing about the matter,and the cab proceeded across the prairie wo the next light in sight. When it had got about @ block away a shout was heard and an excited gentleman with Howiug whiskers and clad only in his underclothiug and sacks rushed up and said that although he bad heard nothing of the murder nhe would be glad to have the cab stop at his bhowe on tne way back and tell him all about it. At last u gentleman was found who had heard that a murder had been committod at o saloon on Twenty-fourth street neur the Belt line, The cab crept back over the hills to the saloon in question und the proprietor stuck his head out of the window, in response to & rap, and said that he had heard that a murder had been committed out at Brightoo, on the Irvington road, at Smi- loy's saloon. After the driver had got a mind map of thecountry the cab started pack, and after going over what seemed miles of uninbavited eountry stopped in front of a one-story shed built against a side hill. From the window a dim lLight shone, aad @ most unattractive in- terior was visible through the ' dirty window. After continued rapping there was @ rustling of straw and a man came o the door. He was nov over-cloan and pro- claimed himself the barteador of the estut- lishment. On the straw lay nother man in ruoken stupor. The bartender told the story of the affair 1n & hesitating manner, but . really didn't know much about it except the names 0, aud the fact ‘hlt they bad been ril ortly before Johuson ran iuto the saloon und said that be was shot.

The board of fire ang police commissioners held & meeting Iast .night which was pre- coded by a short vession-as o license board. In the latter capacity the matter of granting a saloon licenso to A, K. Ronlff, 4008 Hamil- ton street, was taken up. Remonstrances had been filed by property owners in that vicinity on the ground Simply that they did not want a saloon thers, no matter by whom it was run, Both thé Femonstrants and the saloonist presented long lists of names in support of thewr prayera to the board. The remonstrants had several representatives present and put on the stand. Among them were S, W. Wilson, & contractor; John R. Shaw, n large property owner; J. K. seed, who said he was a real estate man and min ister of the gospel; a Mrs. Mostyn and others. Mr., Rolhff had no witness to call. He said he dian’t consider it necessary. The board took the case under advisement. Coming to fire and police mutters, the board first considered charges preferred against Officor Alien by his superiors to the offect that he entered a essarily on on said that he went in there on a vory necessary errand. The testimony was coni- flicting and the churge was diswissed. A communication from Cnief Seavey in- vited the board 1o inspect the police Torce ns to drilling. Another mentioned complaints from geveral officers regacding their uni- forms, being to the effect that the cloth was of a'very poor quality, The elothes com- plained of were made by Canan, An ex- Planation from Canan said that the goods in one case were not properly dyed, and that ha bad requested that the goods be returned, and in aother that he did not make the clothes which were returned, but that they were old ones brought to him to be repaired. The kicks were referred to the committee on mon and discipline, A request from the board of education for twenty-seven fire alarm box ke; rought on a long discussion. Mr. Hartman said that he feared several false alarms would be sprung on the department. Chiof Galligan surprised and enlightened the commissioner by telling him_that the idea of having keys to fire alarm boxes was sadly out of date, and that there had not been but two false alarms in Omaha during the past two years. In Chicago the boxes are arranged so that an alarm can be turned in by anybody ut any time. lhe keys wers ordered given to the board. The committee on men and discipline, con sisting of Messrs. Gilbert and Hartman, rve- ported on the petition of members of the po~ lice force for an increase of salary from $70 to $35, that they did not think the increase should be made at this time, and that before one was made the hours of daily service should be lessened. ‘The report closed with un expressed hope that some time in the future both would be done. 'The report was adopted. T'he same committee reported on the com- munication from Chief Seavey relative to grading the patrolmen in three classes, that they —approved of the same, but are of the opinion that mno definite action should be taken until the force is increased, as the committee expects it to be during the coming spring. This re- port was adopted. ‘'ne committee on finance, to whom was referred the request of the mayor asking for estimates for expenses of the fire and police departments for 1800, roported that the levy for the coming year should be 5 milis for each department, and added that the rapid growth of the city refmres additional fire protection. Three mew properly furnished enyine houses, including wen, machinery, etc., are badly needed. ' An increase in the police force has become necessary. The ro- port was adopted. Aunother report froay the committes on finance replied to the request of Chief Sea- vey for mouney for détective service, that they considered it a legitimate request and that the department should be authorized to aporove monthly bills, for service not ex- ceeding §50 & mooth for any one month. ‘Lhe committee on men discipline re- perted regarding tha Police sick list for Jan- uary, chat the number of days lost on ac- count of sickness was 806, which at the ' rate of $;0 8 mouth amounted to §722.
