COURTLAND BEACH CROWDED | The Fourth Was a Great Day at the Beach. FIFTEEN THOUSAND IN ATTENDANCE The Immenss Crowd Magnificently Han- dled, Considering it So Far Overrenched All Expectat preciation of This New Enterprise. —Omahn Shows Ap- The Fourth was a red letter day for Court- Iand beach, and from morning until night all rouds led toward that popular resort, to the great delight of Manager Grifiiths and to the entire satisfaction of everybody who visited Om tering place, About 15,000 people entered the gates. The crowd startea for the beach early in the morning and a steady stream was kept up all day and evening. Barly during the forenoon Custer post, Grand Army of the Republic, sixty strong, with their wives and children met at Sher- man avenue and Coroy strects and started for the beach, where they held a picnic out in the gro The Ancient Order of United Workmen, to the number of 500 or over, with their familics, also had a picnicin the grove at the beach. Several hundred smaller picnic parties, consisting of from four to twelve persons each, also enjoyed themsclves among the throng. & Notwithstanding the fact that carpenters were kept busy building extra tables all day on the 8rd and up to noon on the 4th many of the picnickers were compelled to lunch on the grass. € Tho street car company took every avail- able car off all the other lines and run chem on the Sherman avenue line, but even this move barely accommodated the crowds. In fact many persons in returning home at night walked over the bridge and took the Sherman avenue cars at thenorth end of the fair grounds in order to avoid the delay and crowds in transferring from the East Omaha lin Never before in the history of Omaha have the people patronized any enterpriso liko they have this one inaugurated by the Courtland Beach association. The manage- ment, as well as the directors and stock- holders, all acknowledge that their most sanguine expectations have been over- reached in the attendance, not only on the Fourth, but every day since the beach com- pany threw open its gates to the public, and 1t is asserted with some authority that there s an understanding, arrived at some time 8go, that no money will be taken out of the proceeds this son, every cent of which is to be devoted to the beautifying of the grounds, ercction of other improvemeuts, putting in of an eletric light plant, ete. Over 5,500 people enjoyed the switchback on the Fourth between the hours of 10 a. m. and 10 p. m.,while some 6,000 took in the car- rousal. The fifty oad row boats belonging to the beach were in great demand and never for a moment was one idle during the entire day. Extra accommodations of every sort were provided, but in many cases they were found nadequate for the immense demand. Every chair, settee and available place was occu- piea throughout the entive day and evening, while thousands strolled about the beach and over the grounds, allseemingly enjoying their outing immensoly. erybody and their neighbor, the banker, merchant, law- yer, lavorer and mechanic as well as the old soldier and the small boy were in attend- snce,accompanied by wives, sweethearts and sisters, They came from not only Omaha and Council Bluffs but Pluttsmouth, Fremont, Lincoln, Blair and every direction within a radius of 100 miles. It was a jovial, well behaved crov/d, and the way that it 'vas handled by the management is certainly commendable, especially when the throng so greatly over- reached all expectations. Of the 1,200 persons who went in bathing over 300 were ladies, and about half of this number furnished their own bathing costumes, There was no balloon - ascension, but the many other attractions succeeded in holding the crowd until midnight. The acronauts, Gould and Gribble, telegraphed in every di- rection for a balloon to take the place of the one that Kay Esler went up in on Monday night, About 8 o'clock in the evening a stand con- taining fireworks, located west of the pavil- lion, caught fire, and an unex- pected display of all kinds of fireworks shooting out in every direction was witnessed. It lasted some fifteen min- utes. Very fortunately no oue was injured, although several hundred people were stand- Ing in close proximity at the start. It con- sumed several hundred dollars worth of fire- works and was a display thoroughly enjoyed by all present after it was ascertained that no ono was injured, A little later in the evening the advertised display of fireworks took place. It was by far the finest exhibition of fireworks yet given by the beach company. The effect was magnificent, as the displuy took place on tho opposite side of tho lake, giving everybody in attendance an unobstructed view of everything that was “sent off," the hundreds of row boats betweon the fire- works and the beach goiug far toward mak- lng a pretty effect, e OMAHA PEOPLE CAUGHT, Collapie of m Texis Which Local Men Wero Interestod. The assignment of the Omaha and South Texas Land company affects certain Omaha capitalists, who are intercsted in the con- cern, The company was organized about two years ago, and had for its object the develop- ment of a manufacturing and residence suburb adjoining the city of Houston on the porth. The suburb was named Houston and the company secured possession 700 acres of ‘land. Affairs con- nected with its development progressed swimmingly, and since a year ago last May some wonderful chan ave beon made there, The company secured control of the Houston Strect IRailway company and three miles of additional electric road were built and put in operation. It is stated that the cash earnings of the road last year were 8200,000. T'wenty-five acres of tho land was purchased by Swift & Co., which company is now engaged in ercoting there the largost cotton sced oil will in the country, The company was succeeding” beyond its expectations wheu the financial unrest that is prevalent all over the country began to embarrass it, and the impossibility of neyo- tiating securities rendered it impossible 10 meot & note for $,000 that feli due toduy, and the appointment of a receiver was asked for and granted. The suburb has electric lights, paving and other improvements, while through the residence portion runs & boule- varc that is said to be one of the most beautiful south of the Olio river, macadam- fzod and having & row of natural trees along Lhe center.

Busy Day, Including a Salt of International Character. A suit which involves the laws of two na- tions was heard by Judge Keysor yesterday, the purpose being the establishment of the h ship to st and to decide whether the laws of the United States or the laws of England shall govern, During the month of May, 1802, Lucy M.

At this time Jefferson Spaulding, a distant relative of Lucy M. Fowler, is contesting the will, by claiming that the deceased was a resident of the Sandwich Isiands at, and for muny years prior to her demise, and that the laws of the island being tho laws of Engiand, the whole of the property would £o to him, he being the next of kinand the only heir at law, according to the statutes of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which muke no pro- vision for property reverting to ives un- less they are subjects of the crown, which Mrs. Ricker, to whom the property was willed, was not. When the criminal division of the district court convened yestorday Judge Keysor made thiugs warm for criminals who had been recently convicted. Henry Martin, the young man who filched £125 from the person of Bello Brandon while she was in a drunken stupor, was tne first individual to be booked for the penitentiary, Martio had been convicted by the jury and’ at the time it was proven that he eked out an existence by hanging around houses of ill fame and pounding wheezy pianos. This he admitted, but the robbery hoe denied, notwithstanding the fact that the proof was guiust him, and that it was a clear se that hie took the money, After i a lecture that was worth double the pri admission, the court put on a five tence, and then called George H. the front, Smith was convicted of being one of the parties who broke into and stole three bar- rels of sugar from a Burlington car not many months ago. He was con day admitted that he had a ha deal, but only as an agent, hired to do the work. Smith got five year: and at the same time expressed the hope that he would be joined by the man who had hired him, thou he wasafraid that | there would al of his _confeder- ate. Judge Keysor put his mind at ease by promising that the case against the confed- erate should not be dismissed so long as hoe was upon the bench. Minuie Thompson and Emma Mason, two colored girls, who were convicted of having concealed property stolen from Aitman's store, were each sentenced to pay a fine of 0 und serve thirty days in the county Jjail. John Mudnen, the saloon man who has been running a joint on the north side of Cut- Off lake and who has failed to pay a license for the privilege of dealing out what ne called cold tea, was fined £100 and costs. not- withstanding the fact that he asked for o new trial, state did not ything that was intoxi- st IN ARMY CIRCLES.

Cole Was Compelled to Fill Property and Her Nelghbor's, Mrs. Lizzie Cole, a widow who lives on Tenth street, between Hickory and Center, has a grievance against the city and the city officials who have charge of the matter of filling vacant lots and abating nuisances, Mrs, Cole owns lot 7, block 10, in Kountze's fourth supplementary. Last March she re- ceived orders from th airman of tho Board of Public W lot filled. She complied with the order and had dirt enough dumped on her lot to bring it to grade and to partly fill the adjoining lot which is owned by 5. A. Orchard. "This work cost her $350, She then wanted the adjoining lots filled, but the work was stopped by City Attorney Connell's orders, leaving her lot above grade with a pond of stagnant water standing on the Orchard lot. Recent rains have washed the filling from Mrs. Cole’s lot, wrecked her barn and almost destroyed a fence which she had built at a cost of $100, The woman naturally thinks that she should have some recourse and has asked the councilman in her ward, Mr, Peter Back, 1o lay the case before the council, but Mr. Back will have nothing to do with the case. Mrs. Cole alleges that Mr. Buck is doing her an injustice on account of a personal difference she had with him some time ago over a private account.

Wir. Cornish, assistant city attorney, being interviewed as to the statement that the city attorney had stipulated in writing that the mandamus proceedings in the supreme oourt, being the case entitled, City of Omaha against Peter W. Birkhauser, should be continued until September, say: “An in- justice is done Mr, Connell by that state- ment. ‘T'ne facts, as I learn them from RR. S. Hall, are as follows: That the city and Board of Public Works made a case upon paper to present in the supreme court, in which they sougit to obtain a different con- struction of the law from that placed thereon by Judge Walton. Dick Hall, hearing of _these proceedings and being engaged in the trial of & case which continued all of last week, and is being finished today, obtained a post- ponement of the case in which he was en- gaged for one day, when he went to Lincoln and obtained leave to_intervene and file a brief in said case in the supreme court. Under the practice of the supreme court he would have been entitled, upon a showing that he was actually engaged in the trial of the suit in the district court, to time in which to prepare a brief, and could doubt- less have obtained twenty days for that purvose. Mr. Connell, to save that delay, ated that he could file a brief by Mon- July 8, and that the case should be med submitted as of the date of said stipulation. If the supreme court will not consider the matter or meot to hand down a decision before September, iv is a misfortune for which Mr. nnell is in nowise responsi- ble, his stipulution being calculated to ob- tain a suumpm' hearing and decision than could otherwise possibly be obtained.” —_——— St. T.ouiss manufactures increased more rapidly during the cighties than those of any eastern city, and it is the home of several of the largest and best equipped factories in the world, Visitors to the World's fair should make their arrangements to visit St. Louis on the way and remain in the city at leust long enough to sae its magnificent com- mercial and other buildings, and to partake of the hospitality which has made the city famous throughout the entire continent, ——— Dan torm, County Commissioner Williams came in from the west end of the county yesterday morning and represents that a hail storm of unusual severity passed over thatsection last Saturday afternoon, completely ruining the small grain and fruit, besides badly damag- ing the corn.
