SRS P = TWEN NEW YORK'S CELEBRATION | How the Anniversiry of the Country's Dis- covery Wil. Be Oelebrated. FEATURES OF THE DEMONSTRATION Iy Arranged in & Special Sera Proposed Exercizes Caref Every etati—lnteresti vices 1o the Charehes of the City Yesterday, New Yonrk, Oct. Columbus week has come at last, a weck of pomp and pa geantry, und it finds the great city ready for 1. T e streets are swept and garnished, the buildings are respiendent. Massive arches and lofty columns have oeen reared in our proudest avenueandour famous street and all things made ready for the marchiog hosts, whose footsteps will ring out the pame which gave our country its pravest title—Columoia. You might have known 1t early in the day You certainly had no doubt of it if you mingled in the surging crowds wiich ran ail day and far into the night, between the blocks of rea, white and blue, with here sud there a streak of Spanish yellow, which marked the outlines of coming parades. You knew it if you were real good and went o church. You kanew it if you notea the complexions of the crowds upon the streets and saw how many ihere were who were strangers within the gates who haa come to seo how well the Empire city could make a holiaay. It was just the most whimsical pretense of baa weather which ushered in the festal ‘week. It took the dust out of the air and toued up your constitutions, and did not do the decorations a haltpeuny worth of harm. After spouting tor awhiwe in the morning, the day got sugdaaly good natured, the sun came out, and thero was 4 cool breese. Unpatriotic Nabobs. How gay tne avenue looked, and how pro- cessional. The only marring feature was the miles of raw planking, in which the steps and bau- nisters of rich men’s houses haa veen sheathed. But this, ina measure, wasa necessary evil. You would read the char- mcters of the owaners in those sheathings. Bome, like the Vanderbiite, had wade vlat- forms forthe crowd, with zuurd rais for protection against uccideat. Other rich men bad made ridge poles on tucir oftices end boarded up their steps. They snemed to think their possessions were ouly for the nich. One promiuent clergyman “said that he would not blame the people if they tore down these unpatriotic barriers, Before other houses uigh forts of vlanz were reared. I hete was room on top for tbe owner's particular Iriends, but none 18r “the comimon Lerd.” Scores of other stands were built on speculation, with seats ranging from & upward for each day of tue parad Bome of Lue churches encaged in this busi- ness. The proceeds wiil k0 to charity. But in spite of the raw carpenter wor which will be partially covered with human- ity when the processions go by, the avenue was a gay spectacle, and the thousands and tens of thousands who turued out upon it, found plenty to do in dodzing tne medal sollers and studying the earest efforis of ECOND YEAR. the man who decorates. From the Baftery to Central park there was o ceascless procession uil day long. Praises from the Pulpits. Wherever God was worshipsd in the city of New York, thanksgiving was uttered for Columbus und for the voyage which Jed the way 1o the birth of the land of light aud lib erty. From a bundred altars the song of the s Deum” went up to heaven, the church’s song of joy for many geverations. Tne chimes in the big steeples took up the glad refrain and the voices of other beils which have but & single note pealed it as joyously as th could. 1t was the hvinu which greeted Columbus when his caravels had borne bim safe several hunared yeurs ugo, Many upils were tuught the pregnant lesson of Jolumbus’ life, the lesson of his faith and courage and steadfastness of bis purpose which never faltered uimnid the storms, waves of dis ippointment and perplexity. Cunning hunds bave beeu al work the last day or two puttiag boliday attire on mauy church editices. All the lo colors th ~mational flag furnished helped the great work of decoration. They were interwoven with blossoms of wutuwn. Butibe star spangled, barner was the chief ornament. And so it has come that the pulpits wear the evergroen st Cnristmas, the tlowers of soring at Easter, ana the fruits and grains at Thuukseiviu time were decked in red, wwhito and biue. Wherever the cross of the Roman Cathelie church arose there was a scene of festival aud rejoicing. With their cross iwhich he planted on the isiand whero be first landeo the island towhich he gave the name of Holy Bavior aud the great church united in paying ribute to the man who had been 5o exalted i ame sod faith. Wherever the cross of Rome was raised there was sung the ancient Gregorian cnant, ‘Te Deum Laudawmus,’” thereby following the example of Lnefgreat navigator himsell. Natiousl Airs In the Cathedral, Somewhatof @ new sound swent through tho vaulted arcues of the great white marble cathedral. The souud of national airs piaved by a master touch—played on the great or g8n and Dy the eahagciug orchestra—and sung by 5,000 voices with ail the fervor of spirits highwrought by the splendor of a solemn high mass and an eloguent and fer- vid sermou. ‘The American colors were draped artist- feally about the conauctor’s box, and over the cover of the pulpit was a solid and mag- pificent muss of flowers. The Awerican shield found a8 resting place in \ne sauctu- arg. It s rare thing for the Catnolic church to allow natioval colors upon its walls, and the cowplimeut paid was intended 10 be 8 very high one. Outside and in front of the cathedral was a rainbow, while tue apostolic residences were also decorated, High mass was sung ut 11 o'clock. The 10 o'olock mass omitted iu order to concen rate all the forces of the cathearal upon the festival services. As soon s the doors were opened the people poured in floods lnto the building, filliog all the avalsole pews and standing fa dense musses wherever there was space to staud.

My answer is that our object is to render a service, the best we can offer to Almighty God, thanking Him for all His gracious mer cies 1o us for the discovery of this, our coun- try, 400 years ago. We all do bonorto the memory of Christopher Columbus, a man of sterling worth and integrity of character with a strong will, & determined faith, a buoyant hope—a man who exalted not him- self, but stood even in the presenceof # human monarch bound in chains. We honor his memory, not because of himseif, but be- cause of what he was, under God, the instru- ment of doing. “'1 feel that I am not going out of my way 0 s0und & note of warning to the press.

The altars and choir loft were decorated as for the grandest festivities of the church. Flags and bunting, artistically festooned, completely coveréd the altar, while the sides of the editico were orilliant with flags, This was done in accordauce with the command of his kohness Pope Leo XIIL, which directed thatspecial sesrvices should be beld in every Roman Catholic church in America. The memorial was preached by Rev. Father Williawa Kessel. The text was “‘(Great and wonderful ave the works of God in His saints, but at the same time tne power of Almighty God is visible in men of great gonjus." High mass was celebrated in the French Catholic church of St. Vincent de Paul and vespers in Buglish. The big plamn church was decorated with flags—American, Span- i1sh, [talian and French. Flowers were around the altar. Rev. Wucher preached on Columbus as & great man and & great chris- tian. Special services wore hield at every oturch in Brookliyn. . Setting the Columbus Statue. For many hours toaay Italian workmen were busy at the site of the Columbus statue, Fiitv-ninth street and Eighth ave- nue. They stressthencd the legs of the ghty spavs that towered ninety feot irto air, they reinforced the tackle, put in big triple puiley blocks and drove a stout cable through tem. They wound the cavle around snd About the shaft of the monutment, lying proue on the ground, and _inch by inch, foot by foot raised it until it buze pervendicularly in the air. A littie more work and 1t stood on its destined place ou the base of the statue. Then there arose a shout of satisfaction from all sides from the bundreds gathered to see thoe work progress, This shaft is asingle stone. It is twenty-seven feet in beight, and four feet w diameter at the base. The weight is thirty-six tons. It stards on a base that is built up twenty feet from the ground. The heroic statue of Columbus 1s to surmount it. The total beight of the monument will be seventy-cightfeet, The base is worthy of close attenticn in itself. On oppositesidos of it are panels of bronze representing in bas relief two 1mp: tant periods of the successful vovuge of Col umbus. One shows the raptattitude and at- tention of those on board the vessels us they become convinced that laud is close at band. The other represents the landing of Colum- bus, bimsel! kueshng devoutly on the sand, while overhead floats the banner of Spain and around him are grouped his followers. Above tuese on the southern face of the bas is a heroic fieure representing the genius of geozraphy—a ciear featured, youthful being with wings and with tangled curls of hair tbat hang over the face and al- most conceal it. In Iront is a globs upon which the attention of the figure is contered. His hands ure upon it and he is gaziug as steadfastly as though just comprencuding a new great idea. That is the pose that sug- gosted itself to the sculptor Gaeno IRousso. Ho wanted to portray the genius of geography at the time when Columbus was preaciing his astounting doctrine that the eartn was round. T'he lines of this figuro are graceful. Pleasant Prospects, Indeed. A bland smile broadens on hotel meu in these days. The beauty of it is that the pilgrims come with their purses well filled, ready Lo pay auy price for accom moaations. One wealthy orewer was per- fectly willing to give up u &00 roll for a siugle suite of roows facing on Fiftaavenue, and that for ouly a cay—Weduesday, “Wo et from $20 to 00 for a room per day, with wiodows fronting on Fiith ave- nue.’” said oue hotel keever, “and the poople are glad to pay that price.

Liscoy, Neb,, Oct. 9.—[Speaisl to Tue Bee. | —The trial of Wilham H. Irvine for the murder of Cbaries E. Montgomery which begius tn the district court in this city tomorrow moruing, gives promise of being one of the most noted trials in the criminal annuls of the state. T'he prominence of the the high cusracter of thoe pri , the causes which led up to the shooting, and finully the sensa tional circumstances of the shooting itsell, all combine to make the case most interest- ing and important, The crime for which Irviae will tomorrow be placed on triai for his life was committed at the Hotel Lincoln in this city on the 26th of last May. The cay was the silver anniversary of the admis<ion of the state of Nebraska, and th2 citizess of Lincoln had arranged au elaborate celebration of the im- portant event. ‘The city was crowdea with visitors, the streets were in gala attire and everything betokened a holiday. The shooting occurred a few miuutes before § o'clock in the dining room of the hotel. The room was crowdea with guests of both sexes, and some of the most prominent people of Ncbraska were quietly enjoying their morning repust, all unconscious of the fearful tragedy about t0 be enacted in their presence. Suddenly, without u word of warning, the report of & pistol sbot reng through the room und then aoother. A gentieman sitting at the table nearest the door was sean to arise from his chair, stagger blinaly around the table out into the corridor ana fall at the foot of a divan, where he was picked up & few woments later in 8 dying condition. The man who fired the shots was W. H. Irvive aud tis vietim was C. E. Moutgomery, Det parties, the wealth of the victim, or 5 of the Tragedy. M. Itvine was seen to walk up the stair- way leadinz from the office to the dining room oa the second floor and pause at the cutrauce. He gianced hastily around the room, evidently in search of some one. Alr, Moutgomery was seated at the nrat table at the right of uud balf facing the door, quietly cuatting witt. 8. S. Smith. He looked up- ward and bis eyes rested upon Irvine as the latter took & sten toward him. Moutgomery half raisod from bis chair and ex:onded his rIght haud, either in greeting or fear. As he did so, Mr. Irvine exclaimed. “D—u you! Yowve ruined my wife!” and in- Stantly firea two shots at his victim, vho stood but o few feet away. Montgomery stuggered around the table toward his mur- derer, out of the dining room aoor, and fall with & gasp Lo the floor at the foot'of a cir- cular givan several feet from the entrance He was at_once picked up and carried into pa-lor C near by, but hLife was already ex tinet. He aid notutter mora than a gasp after the bullet nad entered his heart Irvine ook Mostromers’s life because he believed that the latter had debaucned bis wile. At the timeof thesbooting ne claimed to have positive proof of tbe fuct. The papers he held in his hand when the guests of the botel crowded around bimon the moruing of the trezedy when his victim lay dead almost at _bis fect, contained a confes- sion siened by Mrs. Irvine, in which she ad- witted her euilty connection with the mur- dered man. At least Irviue bad claimed that the papers contained such & confession. The tragedy was enacted on ‘Thursday morning and the Sunday before Irvine had arrived from Salt Lake City on his way to join his wife, who was then visitiog at ber oia home at Marion, Ind. When Irvine Reard the Story, When [rvine started east from Salt Lake City to join bus wife be bad tue most implicit faith in bher. iie arrived in Lincoln Sunday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, intenaing to stop over with a friend uutil the next day. As he left the depot to walk to Bis friend’s home he uiet an acquaintance on the street wno thoughtlessly, and with no idea of the ter- rible consequences of his words, poured into his eaurs tne first intimation he had ever beurd aguinst bis wife's honor. Without wailing o see he friend he went at once to tho telegraph offico and sent & message to his wifs asking ber where she had stopped when at Chicago. The uuswer came back t the Grand Pacitic.” Another telegram flashed over the wires, this time to the mao- agement of the Grand Pacific. Again the answer came back that no such laay haa stopped at that uotel ou the aay named. "Phis was enough to confirm the suspicions that had already been raised 1n the mind of the husband and, armed with the telezrams, ne took the first train for Chicago. He bad telegraphed his wife Lo meot bim at Chicago and she did so. He at once questioned hor closely concerning her relations with Mont gomery. Litle by Little the uuhappy woman related the story, reluctantly admitting the facts in answer lo ber husband's questions, uutil at last the whole terrible truth lay bars Sne admitred thatshe had come to Chicago on the same train with Monteomery, that they nceupied u suite of rooms at thé Hotel Grace and that on Kebruary 6 Montgomery bad accomplished ber ruin.” The story was reduced to writing, the wife's mothar sign- ing the confession as a witness 10 tLe up- happy daughter’s signature. Tne wronged husbund lost no time in re- wrniog to Lincoln. He gave up s pleasure trip, which bis wife was to nave shared with him, ana, with the writien and attesied proofs of ner infidelity in his pooket, he took the first train back to the home of her be- trayer. He arrived st Lincoln at 5:20 oo Thursday morning, and at 9 o'clock had wreaked his vengance. Papillion's New Enterprise.

TEX 1S COLTON CROP SHORT, Stato Report of Semson Regar.ls the Situa- tion as Very Nerious, Gavestos, Tex., Oct. 9. —The Dallas News will tomorrow publish the last state crop report of the season The crop showing is not good, but will surprise no one who has kept in touch with farmers of the state for the past six mouths. There is a shortage in cotton, brought about by many causes, not the least being a reduction in acreage and ravages of boll worms in certain_portions of the state. Onehundredand twenty-six cotton growing counties in Texasand fourteen ncigh- pborhoods in the Inaian territory are without exception unfavorable, foreshadowing a fall- inz off in yield of 25and 30 per cent com- pared with the yield last year. Causes given are decreased acreage, long drouth in spring apa summer 1n westel and southwestern Texas, ravages of Loll and cotton worms in central and eastern Texas and injury doue the growing plant elsewhere by rust. '1he full extent of the anmage is just coming to ilight and now it is apparent Texas' colton crop will fall far short of 2,400,000 bales, the crop last year. Warm, dry weatber greatly facilitated picking, and from 40 to 5) per cent of tho crop hias been gathered and the greater part is beine marketea as rapiuly us picked. Ie- ports are almost unauumous that litile or no top crop will be made this year, and the ct- ton now being picked represents the full yleld of the s'ate. The importance of tnis statement will De sean when it is remein berea that considerably more tuan ), 000 bales were made sfter Uctober | from the top crop last year. It seems impossible, ufter the experience last year, that the exas crop will be 8o small this year, and ver an aoalysis of the crop shows that all indica- uons LOW point 1o & orop of scarcely 1,700, 000 bales. —_— MRS, HAKRISON INDITION.
