Harper, temporarily resid- ing with F. M. Collard at 943 G street. The little one was playing in the street at the corner of Tenth and G stroets when an_elec- tric car approached from tho south. Motor- man William Hall stated that the child was playing near the track. He slowed up his car to avoid the possibility of running over the chila, but just as he thought all danger passed the boy either became frightened or failed to realizo his danger, for ho attempted to cross the track immediately in front of the car. Before the motorman could stop the car the child was under the wheels. His leg and arm were frightfully crushed and his skull fractured. Several physicians are in at- tendance, and while there is a_chance that the boy may recover they say that the odds are against him, Two Hastings Blazes, HasTINGS, Aug. 8.—[Special Telogram to ‘Fue BEE.|—This ovening the residence of George Johuson, in the extreme northern part of the city, took fire from a defective was flue, and on account of its inaccessibility, almost destroyed before the arrival of the fire department.

Great preparations are being made by the Gribbles and the Zéluos in anticipation of the new''sister act” about to be introduced by them. The two aeronaut families have been busy completing their new balloon, which is, 80 Mr. Gribble says, more than twice the size of the balloon that has been used at Courtland beach. Estelle Gribble and Jessia Zelno are both to go up in separate para- chutes attached to this new balloon and at a givon signal they will cut their respectiyve ‘chutes and begin the great race to earth, which they claim will be one of thesmost taking aerial exhibitions ever hefore the public. The finishing touches are being put on two new costumes which go to complete the exhibition, If gold spangles, whito blouses and Eton jackets, one of trwn and the other of purplo satin, will make attractive costumes when used with modest black tights, they will curlulul{ have them. That these bal- loonists will bave a great attraction there is little doubt when it is considered that they also havea ‘‘dog aeronaut” and can make siugle, double or triple ascensions and para- chutedrops.

Canr Lixcovw, Surerton, Neb,, Aug. 8.— [Special Telegram to Tne Ber.]—The camp- fire last evening was splendidly attended, General Hanback, General Church and Hon. Church Howe delivered the principal speeches. Church Howe stated in his oration that the only way to right the pen- sion wrongs was for the people to elect con- gressmon that were friends to the old flag ; that the pension commissioner could not be blamed for his actions as he had served as a true soldier the war through and could only executo the orders issued by President Cleveland and Hoke Smith, - At came the sound of revelles from camy headquarters. Tho partially dressed guards issued from their tents and break- fast and fatigue duties were quickly af posed of. The crowd had already com- menced to assemble. Battalion drill was next i order. The movements wero per- fectly executed and nothing attracted more admiration than the appearance of the com- panies. At 9:30 the grand parade was commenced, headed by Commanders Adams and Gage with their staffs. After them came the First regiment band, com- pany H, First regiment, company C, First regiment, company D, Second regiment, company G, First regiment, W ymore battery A, and a martial band brought up the rear. Upon their return to the grounds they wero received by Licutenant Governor Majors, General Thayer, Colonel Jenkins, Colonel Corrall, Hon. Church Howe, (eneral Gage and Colonel Adams. Theshowing made was the perfection of military accuracy and was viewed by fully 1,600 people. Among this morning’s arrivals were General C. J. Dilworth, past department commander and Colonel King of Kansas. ‘The latter delivered an eloquent and stirring address. ~ After this, battery A executed a drill with remarkable rapidity on the parade grounds before headquarters tent and welcomed Lieutenant Governor Majors with a rousing salute of thirteen guns, War Times Recalled. At 1:15 the speakers were escorted to the stand by the Iirst Regiment band and Gen- eral Lew Hanback as chairmanof the day took charge. Soon all the seats were filled and the old soldiers crowded around the stand. Comrade Doran, before leading the audio in singing ‘‘Marching Through Georgin,” spoke a fow appropriate remarks in_regard to the braveryof the Nebraska volunteers and their commander, aad intra- duced General Thayer. As he arose the boys gave him three hearty cheers and a tiger. Years have lightly touched the general, and his words of living fire and rousing en’ thusiasm carried the boys back to the years of 1801-65, when he led his 1,000 men on to victory at Donaldson, Shiloh, Vicksburg and other battlefields not to be forgotten; and while he did not verge upon politics, nothing could have been more to the point than the earncstness and impressiveness of his ideas of the government's debt to the old soldiers. Lieutenant Governor Majors was then in- troduced by General Hamback, with a few witty remarks in regard to his last weok's fishing trip. His first words were: “I thank God I never went fishing on Memorial day,” and were heartily cheered by the audionce. His resonant voice penetrated the heart of every soldier. as he told them what they merited, and that what seemed 10 be the prevalent feeling today could not last forever. General Dilworth was next introduced. He most heartily endorsed the views of the previous speakers, for he declared that in the time of their need the boys had been prompt to come forward, and not only those who were disabled, but all who fought, should be pensioned, as they most richly de- served. The exercises closod With another patriotic song. 5 Dress parade by national guards was fully appreciated by the large crowd. The great sham battle will take place tomorrow afternoon. John J. Ingalls will address the crowd at the campfire, — e WHAT THEY ACCIMPLISHED, Review of the Work of the Chlcago Silver Couvention, CHICAGO, Aug. 3—Now that the silver convention is over an analysis of what it has accomplished is not amiss, There were statements prior to the convention that the silver men were ‘‘on the run,” and that they would never go 50 far as to pass resolutions demanding of congress the free coinage of silver at any ratio. It was said that they would mildly protest against the repeal of the so-called Shorman law, and finally that they saw it was sheer folly for them to resist the tremendous pressure which public seatiment was bringing to bear upon members of congress for the wip- ing from the statute books of all legi lation in favor of silver. Butwere these prognostications realized? f the resolutions udopted yesterday count for anything they are certainly wide of the mark. Senator Stewart was quoted in Washington specials when he left that city to the effect that he was coming to éhicngo to enter a protest against the repeal of the law, but that he did not expect congress would pay any attention to the demands made here. **The Sherman law will be repealed,” he sald, “without a substitute of any Sort. The result will be an increase of the Hlnicky condition in financial affairs and nally the passage of a free coinage law as the only means of restoring confi- dence. That is in the future, however."” “The resolutions adopted yesterday,” said a prominent silver man, “'show that we do not propose to take the part of a subservient menisl. We have rights which we will maintain to the very last ditch. As stated by Senator Allen, ‘wo will stay iu Washington until the crack of doom,’” Does that look as though the silver men were on the run? As soon as the clans gathered on Monday morning and evening it was seen that a large majority of tho dele- gates were not only silver men, but also members of the party which gave the two old parties a bad scare last fall —the populists. During the last two years these amateur politicians huve gained considerable experience; in fact, they have acquired almost as much ability as political ~ wire ors a8 the adherents the old parties. When they reached the battle ground they immediately set to work at their old trick of attempting: to -‘q),m" the two senior organizations “‘up the back.” They caucussed with silver leaders all Monday and Monday night as to who should be selected as chairman of the convention. General ‘Warner could have had the chairman- ship had he wanted it; so could any sil- ver man, as well as any prominent popu- list, but that was not their lay. The selection of one of their own party would do them no good. The question was how best to defeat the enemy. They therefore reached the conclusion that to select a prominent leader in either of the old parties would about accomplish he end desired. First Senator Reagan of Texas was thought to be a good man, and it had almost been decided to select him, but the thought occurred to them that some parts of the southern de- mocracy were .lreld{ in a state of disintegration, so that it might not, per- haps, be the best move. So they cast about for a more available man, and oae more likely to do mfig damage to the other fellow. Theirattention wascalled to Allen W. Thurmsm, son of the ‘‘Old Roman,” the old lia#d money leader. Thurman was approached, and, being the son of his father, what conld he do but accept. When 16 mounted the plat- form Tuesday mording to address the silver convention he' rtade one of those red-hot free coinage: speeches which only a nllvarl man can dnh " o he ople's iy therefore scor once mu;":, Rt ¢ke 2_m-k of decimating the ranks of the old parties goes on. So the populist leaders think, any way. The yclaim that the selection of and ac- ceptance of by Thurman will create dis- l((‘ecnnn in the party, and propose to profit by the deal. Pt — SANGER'S GKEAT VICTORY. The Westorn Cycler Downs the En 1n & Splendid Raoce. DeTROIT, Aug. 3.- -For a long time dovotoos of the wheel have been looking forward to the meeting hore for the first time between the two crack ridersof the east and west respoctively—Zimmerman and Sanger. They first came into con- junction Tuesday in the one-mile open race, ench boing apparontly afraid to test the speed of the other, laying back in the bunch and watching each other like hawks. The time made was so slow that the referee declared it no race. Before this, however, Chairman Ray- mond read the riot act to the men, and it showea good results. Zimmerman was loudly applauded as ho appeared in the track. Sanger, Tay- lor and nine others had appeared a few minutes before without notice. A time limit of 2:0 was placed. The men wero bunched &t the three-quarters, when Sanger shot to the front. Zim- merman accopted the challenge, and these two great riders flew down the strotch lengths in front of the field. Sanger had gained two longths and was riding at the pole, Zimmerman six feet out. Sanger looked around at his great rival, pumped a little harder and every inch he gained. At the distance stands each man putjonall steam and the finish was terrific. The Milwaukee giant shot over the tape alength in advance of his opponent amid the wildest yells from the crowd. It was the first real test between the two giants of the cycling path and the east had fallen before the woolly west. The time was 2:20 4-5. George Taylor finished third and Brown got in fourth. It was a good, clean-cut viotory for Sanger, and the west cheered him wildly. Sanger wasn't in the least dis- tressed, and, while pleased with the re- sult, was notat all boastful. He haa beaten Zimmerman in the first genuine race in which they had met and was jus- tified in feeling gratified. Zimmerman took his defeat good- uaturedly. He said: ‘“I am not in good shape and feel stiff and sore; besides, the wind in the stretch bothered me.” So hard did the eastern men work to beat Sanger that all of thém were upset when they got to their dressing rooms. Tay- lor’s stomach was rebetious and he was weak. The time by quarters was: :31; 51 3-5; 2:20 4-5; last, quarter in 29 3-5. The great battle had been fought and the west was triumphant. ©Chioago's Coming l?lcynlc Tourney.

The safe in the Union Pacific depot at Pa- pillion was blown open on Tuesday night and $125 in cash taken. The thugs took nothing but money, although there were valuable papers and tickets in full view. About 5 o'clock Wednesday morning threo men who are supposed to be the fellows who did the job showed up 1n an Albright saloon. They remained there for an hour drinking and having a good time. They had plenty of cash and spont it Ireoly. When Officer Tom Eminger of the South Omaha police force came on duty he learned of the robbery ana alsoof the thres jolly visitors who ‘had spent the money in the Albright saloon. He at once secured a good description of the fellows and this was surned over to the Union Pacific deteotives this morning. It is belioved the men wanted are in Lincoln and if they are caught a por- tion of the eredit at least of running them down should be given to Mr. Eminger. A Costly nury Bird Row, Mrs, Sekyra, living two miles south of Al bright, applied to Police Judge Kowler yes- terday for a warrant for the arrost of Frank Dolozel, a South Omaha saloon keeper. The woman claims that her daughter Mary, while passing along Twenty-fourth streot, picked up a oanary bird and carried it home, A few days later Dolozel came to her house and abused and threatened her and accused her of stealing his singer. For this reason she wished to prosecute him for disturbing the peace. Tnasmuch as Mrs, Sekyra lives in Sarp county the warrant could not be issued from the police court,and the judge told her it she Insisted on pushing tho prosecution she would have to go to Bellovue to get & war- rant.
