DEATH OF JUDCE J. V. SAVAGE The Olose of a Long Oareer of Honorand Usefulness, LIFE HISTORY OF A DISTINGUISHED MAN. The Final Summons Came at Eight O'Clock Last Evening, Afver ' Many Weeks of the Most Intense Suffering. R | i Surrounded by the members of his family and a few loving friends, Judge J. W. Savage died at his residence at 413 North Twonty- second street ata few minutes after8 o'clock last night. All day yesterday his physician and rela- tives realized that all hopes for the recovery of the sick man had passed, but were of the opinion that lifemight be prolonged for a few days at least. uring the carly evening the judge began sinking rapidly and passed away as peace- 1;|11y] s though he were sinking into a quiet slumber. Life of Judge James W, Savage. Judge Savage was taken sick about a wmonth ago, suffering a relapse .from & nulady which, a few months pre- viously, it was thought would reo- sult fatally. He rallied, however, and made feeblo attempts to again resume his wonted habits and calling. He was, in a measure only, successful. He rode out at intervals and bhis presence on the streets re- assured frionds that the genial gentleman had fully recovered from the attack. The olapse, however, resulted as above stated. The gentleman, the scholar, the jurist passed 1 away, his last moments comforted by his de- voted wife and the sorrowing friends of = JUADY years, James Woodruff Savage came of a distin- guished family, Thename was brought to 1nis country By his paternal ancestor, Thomas F Savage, who landed from England in 1630, ! and afterwards married Faith, daughter of Anne Hutchinson, The name of this woman i3 familiar to every reader of colonial his- tory. She was the famous religious enmbusiast who founded the Antinomian sect of New England, On her mother’s side sne was a second cousin of the poet . Dryden. In 1634 she came to Boston, to en- joy the preaching of John Cotton. Here she instituted meetings of women for the discussion of dootrinal questions, and her in- fluence created a powerful faction and led to ublic disturbances, She was banished to I‘(hodl! Island and afterwards removed to New Amsterdam, where she was murdered by Indians in 1043, Very eminent men of that day, among them Sir Heary Vane and Joh tton, were favorably inclined to her doctrine, b It is not possivle to trace the descent of the namo through generations, always distin. guished in the annals of New England. The father of Judge Savi was Rev. Thowas Sav: & minister of the Presby- terian denomination, who died in Beaford, N. H, in 1866, hlvlng been pastor of the church in that place for Ioni’; ears, Judge Savage was born February 2, 1826, n Bedford, N, H. His elrl{ life was pass in & farming community. Itsquiet anasim- ple conditions were favorable to the forma- ton of an ingenious character, At the same time they were not rude. In the home of his outh there were the vity of & minister’s ouschold, the sober faith and devout life of Christian parents,and the book andthe learn- ing and the culture of educated gentle peo- le. The seeds then planted bore good [ ruit. In September, 1841, James enteved the Phillips’ Andover acsdeay and, after having been well taught at home, be his prepara- tion for college. In August, fi:‘u he entered larvard, whenoe ho graduated, 13.A.,in 1547, is rank was seventl in bis class.

Judge Wood- ruff, at that time, held high irank in the El‘o(ossmn and his ofiice was full of heavy usiness. He was a most amiable gentleman and took a deep and affectionate interest in his young kinsman, On _July 1, 1861, Mr. Savage was commis- ned a captain in the regular army and as- signed as aid-de-camp to the staff of ~ General Iremont, and in the October following was promoted to the position of major, In March, 182, he was again promoted, this time to a lieutenant-colonelcy. In December, 1863, he rosigned his commission in the regular army and was mustered in as colonelof the Twelfth Ney York volunteer cavalry, He served until the close of hostilities and on August 5, 1865, was mustered out with his regiment. After rothing from military service Col- onel Savage spent a year in travel, Agril 18, 1867, just after Nebraska had been admitted 'to the union, he removed to this city and resumed the practice of his profes- sion, He was then, as irdeed he continged to bo up to thotime of his death, well-knit, vigorous, dignified mien and gentle manner. A bright spirit and a kindly speech were his, s0 that at once friends gathered around him, and through all the years and contentions which have passed since then, he has eld them to him, Colonel Savage at once took a high rank at the bar, many of whose members have attained enviable places in the country. In 1860 he became associated In practice with Hon. Charles F. Manderson, now United States senator from this state, under the style of Savage & Manderson, , The public esteem in which he was held is shown h}' the repeated calls of his fellow citizens for his services, In 1870 he received the nomination of the democratic_party for member of congress, but was defeated by Hon. Lorenzo Crounse, In 1873 the legislature elected him regent of the state university, which office ke held u;fl\l it was made elective by the constitution of 1875, . In November, 1875, he was elected judge of the third judicial district, and in 1879 was re- elocted to the same office for another term. The district was largely republican, and his election both times by large majorities bore emphatio testimony to the esteem in which he was held and the value of his judicial servi He had the best qualitics of u good judge—a vigorous admin- istration, conscientious impartiality, a quick apprehension and a strong native 'sense of ustice, T'he business of his district very argely oxceeded that of any other in the state, but fewer of his judgments were car- ried to the supreme court for review than those of any other judge. That court seldom reversed him, The severities of his office compelled him to resign it before the expiration of his term, his health having become seriously impairved. Tn 188, he resumed the practice of law, With great experience he was able to bring into the service of his large clientage wis- dom, skill and abundant learning, A vmnno‘y1 occurred at this time in the chancellorship of the state university, The ition was offered to Judge Savage and tho viends of tho institution pressed upon him the acceptance of it with great urgenocy, They felt that he had the wisdom to guide it t\lmugn the troubles which then surrounded it, and bring it to that measure of success and service which other western state uni- versities enjoy. Nor dia hemn any measure underrate the dignity tendered” him, nor what a fit man could do in the premises; but, @reatly to the disappointmert of all who hopead for good things of the young institu- tion, the judge felt himself constrained to dé- cline the honor. At the November election, 1888, he was a candidate for judge of the supreme court on the democratic ticket but was doefeated by 4,250 votes when the l'egulvlh‘an majority in the state was five times that number. The judge bad been one of the trustees of the Omaha public library since 1881, and had also been a trustee of Bellevue coliege, In July 1885, President leveland appointed him a government director of the Union Pacific railray company, and re-ap- pointed bim every succeeding year during nis incumbeney 1o April, 1575, he was married to Mrs, Lucy T, Morris, daughter of Alanson Tugker, esq., of Dérby, New Hampshive. Judge und Mrs, Savage dispensed in their home & generous ana graceful hospitality, It was & home full of interesting things—works of and arti of historical value.

Butthe chiefest among their treasures was a Shakespearean library of many volumes, and rich in rare editions almost beyond any in the west. Both of them were most delightfully fond of every word and minutely learned in all the lore of the great poet. Besides his researches after Shakespearean lore, Judge Savage devoted himself to Amerl- can histo Here may be mentioned only two of his interesting papers on'such topics. April 10, 1850, he read @ paper before the Nebraska State Historical society which he entitled: “The Discovery of Nebraska,” and which was printed among the transactions of the society for that year. After adverting tothe many, efforts be- ing made on all hands to compel the vast li- braries of all countries to give up their dead treasures, he states his purpose thus : “I propose to collect and present this even- ing, & fow of the reasons we have for believ- ing that four score years before the npil- ms landed on the vencrable shores of Iassachusetts; sixty-eight years before Hudson discovered the beautiful river which still bears his name; sixty-six years before John Smith with ~ his ~ cockney colonists, sailed up a summer stream which they named after James 1. of England, and com- menced the settlement of what was after- ‘wards to be Virginia; twenty-three years be- fore Shakespeare was born; when Queen Elizabeth was a little girl, and Charles V. sat upon the united throne of Germany and Spain, Nebraska was discovered, and the pe- culiarities of her soil and climate noted, her fruits and productions described, aud her in- habitants and animals depicted.” Judge Savage communicated to the society another paper, which he entitles: “A visit to Nebraska in 1662,” and which is printed in the “T'ransactions” of 1887, 1t is an account of the expedition of Don Diego, Count Penalosa, which took place in the year 1662, These papers at once drew attention to their author, and doubtless, as a recognition of his services in the cause of American his- tory, he was made a member of the historical societies of New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Missouri. He has prepnrod another pamphlet ea- titlea: “The Christening of the Platte’—an account ofa visit tothat river about the eighteenth century. “or the last fow years of his life, Judge Savage has devoted himself to the practice of his profession, historical research and the enjoyment of literary pursuits. His thrifty and successful career had eunabled him to acequire & competency and this, in turn, en- abled him to pass his closing days in partial and tranquil retivement ~which 50 becomes an homorable old age. He appeared in court, however, only when im- portant cases were called in which he was interested, passing the rest of his time in recreation, study and travel both at home and abroad. Inthese ramblings ne was gen- crally accompanied by his wife, and from them both returned with minds stored and refreshed with information of both interest and value. At the time of his death, Judge Savage was the senior member of the law firm of Savage, Morris & Davis, the second named member being a step-son of the deceased. The date of the funeral has not yet been decided upon. el The County Commissioners. Dick Berlin was the only absent member when the county commissioners commenced the transaction of the business of the regular weekly session yesterday afternoon. After reaching the minutes of the board, two insane ‘women were ordered sent to their homes in other states, George Karl, a constable of the Third ward of the city, tendered his resignation and the was filled by the appointment of ngman. The usual number of bills were presented and referred to their respective committee, The question of allowing the fees of coroner’s witnesses and jurors was brought up again and action postponed. _The county clerk was instructed to adver- tise for bids for the furnisbing of 50,000 pounds of flour within the city, This flour will be furnished in tweuty-five, fifty and 100 pound sacks, Tho following appropriation sheets wero read and passed: No. @ of the general fund, #5,058.08; No. 58 of the hospital fund, $1,27; No. 43 of the bridge fund, $1,564.38; No. 15 of the road fund, $1,503.54.

AN EXHIBITION OF TRUE ART, The Steele Building Aglow with Gems of the Brush, SOME OF THE STRIKING PICTURES SEEN. Opening Day of the Omaha Art Ex- hibition and a Glance at Some of the Brilliant Features in the Display. The Omaha Art Exhibitlon is a revelation. No finer display of the higher art was ever made west of the Mississippl. This means that in scope, arrangement, extent and qual- ity of paintings, the exhibit in the Steele building excels anything undertaken by the art-loving peoplo of Omaha, Not every picture in the large collection is good—some have no place there. But there are so many that please and delighta true westerner that columns might be written upon them. Itis easy to forget one's self in contemplation of the many rare canvases. Two days might profitably be spent and yot not all the pictures receive the attention they s0 richly deserve at the hands of visitors. A BEE represencative stopped into the ox- hibit yesterday. He found that the four walls of two stories of the large building had been hung with pictures. Upon the walls of the lower story are pictures of wonderful power, yet it is not until the pictures above are scen that one becomes bewildered at the brilliant arvay, The workmen were busy adjusting the side lights, rearranging the pictures, shift- ing the chairs and putting the two floors in ship-shape for the immense crowds of people that thronged the gnileries yesterday after- noon, and will most certainly doso through- out the present week, for this great collec- tion enjoys the patronage of the best people of the city so that the society fad of the week will be the great art exhibit, The attendance at this exhibition will be unex- ampled. V The catalogue had not been printed $o Tue Bee critic wandered thtoagh the galery as fancy and inclination might dictate. He did little more than glance at the exhibit asa whole, reserving for later issuea more par- ticular reference to tho brilliaat features of the display.

Bridgman, is very cleverly painted, but seems to be lacking in motive, No. 61 by W. D. Sadler, entitled ‘‘Past and Present,” gives a view of three or four monks in various attitudes common to_the tailor's bench. One is sewing in tho old fashioned way, while another seems to be somewhat rattied in his attempts to manage a modern sewing machine. The picture is good as a whole, but the heads of one or two of the monks do not show a sufficient amount of study on the part of the artist. No. 63, by P. £. Boutigny, is a very pretty scene entitled A French Reconnoitre.” An officer has just scaled the crest of a knoll, while back of him comes the guard, or order: ties, It is & beautiful little piece, the execu- tion of which is well nigh perfect.

No, 122 is an ambitious canvas by Lionel Walden, It portrays the fish market ‘at the wharf along which boats ave anchored. The picture is too large, but the technique dis- played is above criticism, No. 110 by the same artist, is a_very clev- erly painted shipping scene. Barges are drawn up to the wharf in the foregronnd, while off in the mists are seen large vessels approaching and receding. The execution of this picture is superb, and_the coloring per- fect. The picture is one of tho very finest in the exhibition. No. 116 by Bridgman, entitled “Feto de Oued El Kebir, is a most beautiful work of art and one of the best of Bridgman in Amer- ica. Itis full of fine intelligence, of great breadth of handling and is perfect ir: color- ing, No.8is a little view looking down the Seine, and very creditably painted. A little plcture along towards the end of the gallery bearing no number, gives a view in the domicile of a darkey. There is a cook stove in one corner, & home-made carpet on the floor, & rough table by the wall und a mirror by the window. Before the window stands @& colored girl, arrayed in bright colored garments, apparently making her toilet preparatory to a visit from her sweet- who can be seen in the distance dow. The execution of this little canvass is very fine indeed, and the pic- ture is commented on very generally and favorably. Nos. 71, 72, 73, 74 and 75, which hang near together on the lower floor, are entitled to the very highest commendation and exhibit a very high dogree of art, They will receive the extended notice they deserve in a later issue of Tue Bi ‘While the visitor may have been pleased and entertained by the pictures seen in the lower gallery, he is delighted and almost bewildered by the wonderful productions which are presented on the floor above, One of the most notable of these is @ picture of Japauese musicians which will attract the attention, it is safo to say, of every visitor to the Omaha exhibition.” In executioun it is little shors of marvellous; nothing to equal it has ever before been seen in this city.

H. H. Clark, who was in Omaha Iriday, to broceed to New Yorkat once for a conference with Mr. Gould. Mr, Clark left for New York Fri- day night in answer to the summons, Rir. 5. 1. Millapd, one of the directors of the road, also received a telegram Friday from President Adams asking him to attend the meeting. He left for New York, yester- ay. B The great question at headquarters is, of course, what effect the proposed change will have here. This all depends upon how com- pletely Mr. Gould will have the control of the road. The hopeful holders of ofticial po- itions under the present administration are inclined to the opinion that the only effect of the change will ‘be to unite the railroads of the west, the Missouri Pacific, Northern Pa- cific, Santa Fe and other big lines in a close combination that will result in a maintain- ance of profitable rates and make the rail- road business profitable. They hope tnat this will be the extent of the change. But there aro others well posted in railroad affairs who predict a gencral and sweeping change in the management of the road. They claim that the road is managed accord- ing to a plan that is in direct opposition to Gould’s methods, aud that he will insist upon a_general reorganization of the official force of the road. The programmeo _that is now generally ac- cepted provides for the election of Sidney Dillon as president and General G. M. Dodge as vice president and general manager, Aa ofticial in a position to know the insido of the proposed deal said yesterday morning : “F'red Ames has the resignation of Presi- dent Adams in his pocket and will present iv at the meeting of the directors in New York on Tuesday next and it will be accepted. Then look out for a sweeping chango all along the line, e L BREVITIES.
