Mr, Schoent- Ron was in St, Joseph and Mr. Rain was un- uble to go, but Messrs. Stewart, Bluxsim, Lawsoun and Hunter were all on band. It will be remembered that several parties had previously submitted propositions, and ail of the proposed sites were oxamined, It was . decided that the choice lay between the half block owned by J. W. Squires, on the north side of Fifth avenue, between Twenty-sco- ond and Twenty-third stroets, on the one hanl, and the Wright tract on the other. The members strongly favored the former location. The price of this piece is 100, No formal action was taken, but the expres- sion was in favor of taking thut site. The Question will probably come up at the meet.

O'Brien eatered the place. All were more or less under the influence of liguor, and they were apparently spoiling for a fight. It is stated that Roberts and Christiansen had had trouble before. It was not long before one of the three picked up u spittoon aad hurled it at the head of the bartender, Cather, ‘This was the signal for a genoral row, and it opened up in short order. Christiansen wos struck over the head with a chair and fell across the table, where he was pounded until the chairs and stools in the hands of his opponents were smashed to pieces. Theso were others in the place who were also assaulted as thoy tried to get out of doors, Chairs were broken, tables overturned, and all the furniture in the room damaged con- siderably, They finally departed, and the police were notified. Cottrell was captured, but the others had taken a hack and skipped over the river. They left the hack at Twelfth and Douglass and have not been heard of since, although the Omaha police are looking for them. Christiansen was removed to his home, No. 1011 Pleasant street, and Dr. Cook sum- moned to attend him. His head was badly gashied in several places, ;and there was a severe contusion over the tempie, His con- dition was regarded as extremely critical, and ho sufferred terribly all of yesterday from the terrible beating he had received. It cannov yet be determined whether his juries will result fatally or not. Cottrell will have a hearing tomorrow morning. — Wall paper at the Boston store, Council Rluffs, Nothing but experienced workmen employed by those desiring papering done. e Dempsey Bros., candy manufacturers and wholesale dealers.

This story comes from the ‘‘Peak Countree.” " The great cavern at Cas- tleton, England, attracts a large num- ber of tourists every year, and now and then notabilities visit the place. A vis- itor somewhat shabbily dressed oro- sented himself before the guide, an of- fleial employed by the duke of Devon- shire, and asked what it would cost to see the sights. “Seven shillings,” was the repl. ‘It seems a lot of money,’” said the in- quirer, But the guide with a glance at the man’s garments, deigned no answer. The visitor, however, resolved to go in. Emerging ito the light of day again he entered his name 1n the visitors’ book, and said: “There’s soven shillings for your master and something for your- self.” The ‘‘something” was a sovereign, The guide, staggercd by the magnitude of the gratuity, hastily scanned the vis- itor’s book, and found the signature of a well known miilionaire duke. He looked the surprise he felt. “You didn’t expect .that, did you?” drolly asked the duke. *No, your grace, I did not,” said the guide, honestly. . **And you thought, now, I was scarce- 1y good for the seven shillings?” per- sisted the duke. The thought, from the guide’s frank admission, certainly had crossed his mind, “Woll,” said his grace, smilingly, “never in future judge a man by the coat he wears.” e The water runs when Bixby plumbs.

As the 11 o’clock south bound passenger train on the West Shore rail- road, made upof P.W. Clements’ pri- vate car Kiva, three day coaches and a baggage car, was approaching ‘a for- bidding looking rock cuuting near the entrance to the tunnel on the north ap- proach to the big, high bridge that spans the Rondout creek today, the engineer noticed a_little lad standing on the track frantically waving a big red bandanna, saysa Kingston, N. Y. dispateh to the New York Herald. The air brakes were applied, and as soon as the train came to a standstill the boy was asked what was the matter. ‘‘Big rocks on the track in Fitch’s cut,” he breathlessly piped out. The engineer, J. Huston, ran forward and found a large quantity of rock and dirt covering the south-bound track. He realized that had it not been for the quick witted boy he and the passengers might-have been the victims of: an ac" cident. The train was backed to the West Shove station here. On the way hither ‘the passengers, grateful for their nar- row escape, made up a purse of money for the-brave little lad. The train was subsequently switched to the north- bound track, and after reaching Esopus passed on to the south-bound track again and proceeded to New York city. It was delayed about one hour. The name of the brave little handker- chief waver is.Norman Smith, aged eight and one-half years, a son of Will- inm Smith of Wilbur, His presence of mind will not soon be forgotton by the passengers on the train, nor it is pre- sumed by the West Shore railroad com- pany. The biggest millionaire in America isn’t half so wealthy as Norman Smith thinks himself this evening. He told me that when he grows up he is going to be a railroad man and that the posi- tion of superintendent would suit him. —_— . Dissolution Notice, ‘The partnership heretofore existing be- tween L.

The other day I met arelative of his sister-in-law, the Countess Alexander von Hartenau, (you see what bad com- pany I sometimes keep), who told me that “‘the poor fellow’s lot is not to be envied,” The queen,on whose favor he depends, being now seventy, few about the court take the trouble to be civil to him, says, the London Truth, Military men dont at all relish bufln{ told off to ‘“‘attend” his curious royal highnes'. Though the queen is exact- ing of respect for ' him, she treats him herself with curt ' dryness, and she ex- pects him to be always hangiog about the Princess Beatrice, Whenever the queen makes a siga to Prince Beatrice he is on his feet in an instant, walks over to her, and stands belore her in an attitude of submission. She would not put up with any other. There never was a more despotic sov- ereign in the precincts of her court than our constitutional monarch, and her mind is so full of the belief in her prerogative, in all that regards eti- quette and the deportment of her family and household, that her will overbears every other. One feels that it isim- perious as fate, Prince Beatrice never attempts to dispute it until he gots be- yond its range, He then tries to make new conditions, and thus improve his position At Gratz he thoroughly en- Loyed himself.

This is truly a strong quartette,—Sporting Timos. The Kansas City manager, Charlie Haock- ett, has been chasing for a- week or 8o after Shortstop Lang and Outflelders Hamburg and Hoover, and by this time may have caps tured one or more of these prizes, What the Cowboys want with any more players, how- ever, it is hard to see, They claim now that they have a sure guarantes on the Western association pennant, and why any further expenso! .

Billy Earle of the Cincinnatis says that Tom Naglo will be one of the star catchers of the country this season. It looks asif St. Paul would have the weakest team in the Western association, You want to get up on your toes and hustle, Mr. Thompson, Cooney and Nagle—with Anson's colts— aro already in the lana of sunshine and flowers, They are at St. Augustine, Fla., und the reports have it that both are showing up in great form, If Andrews has abstained from the flowing schooner this winter, expect some lively smashing at his hands along about June 1. Joo Walsh says that in 1867 Wally was one of the greatest hitters in the land. Buck Ewing endorses Ted Kennedy's catching glove as the best in the market. Ted should realize aneat thing out of his patent. Plummer, the crack local colored player, has been offered a position on the celebrated New York Gorham team. Up to date the wires have not been bur- dened by the news of Strauss’ engagement. Herman Long, after he signed a contract to play with the I3ostoa league club, went to Kansas City and asked that he be given a part of the purchase money. The German argued that he had done a good deal for Kansas City. “Yes, and Kansas City has done a good deal for you, Herman,” replied President Speas. “We took you from a minor league, where you were getting only o small salary, and in one brief season lifted fou into the greatest baseball organization n the country.” Long didn’t get any of the purchase money. It would have been differ- ent had the boy made the demana before signing instead of after signing.

Mr, Roohe, representing the Wiz- ard.” has already placed his money in the hands of a stakeholder. McCleory will put up $1,000, and Lucky Baidwin is expected to write a check for the balance. Shacfer agrees to discount McCleery at any game of 1,000 points of the professor's choosing. Mr, Hoche wants tue date set for March 16, or theeabouts. A. H.

Mr. Penrose will contribute a series of articles on trap shooting to Tug Bes within the course of a few weeks, and as he is a well posted man his effusions will afford much iuterest to the lovers of the gun, The Omaba gun club met Monday evening last anddropped from their roster a list of non-active metwbors, leaving the com- plete mombership ' a8 follows: Pros- aent, W.

Hen- nessy has developed into quite fighter since he left this city and has won and lost some notable battles. The only contest he ever engaged in here was with Jimmy Lind. say for the middleweight chawpiouship of the state. Juck Killett was to have gone wguinst Lindsay, but having been suddenly seized with rheumatism he had to withdraw, Hennessy volunteered to take his place, and although he weighed tweive or fifteen vounds more than Jimmy tho latter con- sented to the arrangement. ‘The contest took place 1n Boyd's opera house and was a rattling one.

They say that it will be the largest gathering of crack shots seen west of Chicago in many a day. Jimmy Grifiin, who was badly whipped by Lindsay in this oity two months ago, was again defeated in San Francisco last Tues- day night by Billy Mahan of Sacramento. The fight was a fierce one throughout, Griftin was badly punished. His lips and nose were badly swollen, and his body cov- ered with blood. He fought a game battle, however, and, although Mahan forced the fighting nearly all the time, Grifin made a savage attack in almost every round and made it uncomfortable for the Sacramento man. Griffin was knocked down half a dozen times in the Jast three rounds, but struggled gamely to his feot until a terrific blow_in llm‘n\\' flnally sent him to the floor, His head struck the boards heavily and he was picked up insensible, J.C.

How the Festival of a Patron Saint is Oelebraced in Ne v Mexico. The early Jesuit missionaries grafted the Christian faith upon the super- stitions and vraditions of the aborigines of New Mexico, The result is curious. One typical instance is furnished by the mystic rites performed at Pueblo de Tuos to celebrate the festival of the patron saint, San Geronimo, the Spanish St. Jerome. This occurs on the lust day of Sepiember, and attracts a large concourse, dressed in guy and fantastic garb. The padre from Santa Fo first con- duets e in the little church, Then there are rheto addresses to the crowd, There isa supe undance of drum-beating and musket fiing. A procession is formed to the raco track, 800 yards long. ‘I'wo sets of fifty com- petitors, naked and painted; commence a slow dance.] In the midst of it a num- ber of young Mexicans mounted on wild ponies rush through, the lenaer swing- ing by the heck the ‘“'gallo,” or. cock, the sign of the saint. Then the races begin, one from each side taking part. As soon as the goul isseached two others set off, and this is continued for two or three hou sum of vietories determining th More processions of the visitors, w plenty of drumming as an accompani- ment to a wild chant, work up th crowd to a pitch of excitement that p pares them for the antics of six hid- cously painted clowns, who perform mimie cock-and-bull fights, and-disport themselves in outrageous fashion. As the sun sets the mob gathers around a pole, fifty feet hign, on which a miserablé sheep” has been tied all the day. Amid their yellsit is hurled to the ground by the most successful climher, and istorn to pieces and car- rvied off, with bread, fruit, grain and vegetable that are distributed or scram- bled for. In this munner the saintly festival is brought to an end. Wrong in Siberi zht in Irclan The Times is in a state of furious in- dignation at the Siberian massucre, which, it justly says, has roused the in- dignation” of Europe, and it deems the attempt of the czar to evade investiga- tion un aggravation of the wrong-dorng. In all this T agree, st the London Truth. Butwhy is it wrong for a gang of Russinn oflicials to massacre people in Siberia and right for a gang of Irish officials to massacre people in Ireland? The Sivberian massacre and the Mitch- ellstown massacre are on all-fou Mitchellstown a person named was in* command. This had been turned out of public service at the Cape for disreputable ocon- duct. One Brownrig wus in_ com- mand of the police. Judging by the lan- gnage and appeavance of this per- son he was in a condition of cerebral excitement. An attempt was made to wedge a reporter through a crowded meeting, which meeting had not been forbidden. No one wished to hinder the reporter from getting within ear- shot of the speakers, and he might have done this by approaching the platform from behind. But the police ferociously charged the meeting, then retired fo their barracks, and fired from them, killing sevoral lookers-on. The pled was that stones were thrown at the bar- racks, It was shown that only one pane in all the windows was broken. and it was an open question whether this was done by the police or by the people out- side. A public and independent in- vestigation was asked for. 'This was re- fused. Far from blaming Sebright and Brownrig, Mr. Balfour defendea them, and confirmed them in their official po- sitions. e Horseflesh in Bolozna Sausages. Sir Dominic Colnaghi, the British consul general in Floreuce, in a recent report on & tour throughout North Italy, states that since his visit to Bo- logna a discovery has been made that some among the largest manufacturers of Bolognu sausages (mortadelle) have been in the habit of using horseflesh, not of the first quality, mixed with in- ferior pork, in the manufacture of sau- sages., ‘*This fact has caused consider- able excitement among the popdtation, and cannot but do hurm to an import- ant article of consumption and export. I wrote at once,” continues the consul general, ‘“to the cham- bers of commerce of Bologna and of Modena, in which latter province a similar discovory was reported to have been made. From Modena I am in- formed that only two scizures of dis- eased meat had ‘been made, while tne important firm of G. Bellantani & Co. bhad promoted the articles in the new sanitary code which refer to the adul- teration of sausages, From Bologna the reply stuted that the matter had come under the notice of the judicial authorities, and that, as soon as judg- ment is given, 1 shall be supplied with ll particulurs.” For the rest, it is stated that Bolognais progressing stead- ily, if slowly.

Bo gaudy was the first funeral proces- sion that I witnessed on the island that I actually mistook it for the Cuban way of advertising a circus. It consisted of @ highly enamelled black charlot, ovna- mented on top with tall waving black and gold plumes, The charioteer wore a long plume in his hat, a scarlet jacked elaborately embroidered with gold cord and trimmed with gold laceandadouble row of gilt buttons. The trappings of the horses wero black and gilt, and two men, wearing gorgeons uniforms, walked on eithes side of the leading horses, holding long black reins, This wasfoliowed by aline of carringes extending the length of five blocks, says a writer on Havana in Drake’s Magazine. In each carrage were seated one or two gentlemen. Some were talking, all were smoking. - - b WAS MADE A FREAK, Curious Mannor in Which A Germam v Drinks.
