The bar nssoclntlon met yesterday fore
noon in the district court room to pay trllmto
to the llfo nnd diameter of the late Colonel
\V. P. Sapp. The tribute thus tenderly
given was formed hy nn Intertwining of indi
vidual thoughts , feeling1 ! nnd experiences ,
voiced In eloquence ami clothed in the most
pleasing diction. Thcro was necessarily
some sameness in the eulogies thus pro
nounced , but not moro so than in the
tributes of flowers with which friends
seek to express their sympathy nnd
sorrow , and though flowers nro but
flowers , nntl words nro but words ,
Individuality wns quito marked in the
several tributes yesterday given to the mem
ory of him whom nil acknowledged to have
been n leader nniong leaders.
The formal proceedings consisted of n ses
sion of tlio district court for the purpose of
having an order given to enter upon the rec
ords the resolutions adopted at n recent meet *
nip of the bar association. The eulogies pro
nounced were in support of the proposed
order. Judge Deemer , who is holding court
at Avoca , linil adjourned , at tlio request of
the members of the bar there , nnd in accord-
anco'with his own desire to bo present nt the
procodings here.
Judge Unrson , who Is holding court here ,
courteously called upon Judge Deemer to pre
side and the two. with Judge Seovcrs , late of
the supreme bench , occupied the seats of
honor. Hon. U. 0. Hloomer , who bud in
hnnd the programme and the arrangements
for the occasion , introduced Hon. L. W.
Itoss , who gave a very clear outline of Col
onel Snpp's life nnd delineation of his char
acter , lie spoke ot what Colonel Sapp had
done for Council litulTs , toward securing the
Union 1'iicilio terminus , the location of the
institution for the deaf und dumb , the gov
ernment building nnd the federal courts. Ho
dwelt nt length upon Colonel Sapp's wonderful
power to iiiovo juries und to win verdicts ,
nnd classed him ns nn ndvocnte rather than a
court lawyer. This estimate of ids powers
was bcemlngly acquiesced In hy the speakers
who followed. Colonel Cappwnsnot bookish ,
but wns very quick to see the controlling
questions. Ills memory was retentive , was
lucnt in upccch , earnest in utterance and
bclf-confldont in his positions. Ills merits
vere acknowledged by friends and foe ? alike.
John N. Baldwin followed with his usual
eloquence. Ho said that despite the carping
nnd criticism of tlio uninformed , to bo a law-
or required that u man should bo
gentleman , should possess In-
Diligence , education nnd integrity.
There hud been perhaps moro studious mem
bers of the liar , but none stronger than Colo-
icl Snpp. Ho had a naturally legal mind , a
ino physique , a resonant voice , a great warm
ieart , and ho was In deed aud truth every
nch n king1. His eloquence wns character
ized by force and sincerity. Ho was a ver
dict , winner. Ills domestic relations were of
tlio happiest nature , nnd when his beloved
companion was taken from him It was u blow
which made him stagger , n mortal wound ,
from which ho never recovered.
C. M. llarlo spoke of the influence which
inrly associations evidently had upon Colonel
Snpp. As a member of the bar at Mt.
A'crnon , O. , ho caught the inspiration of
those who had since become among the most
prominent of the nation's famous ones.
Colonel Sapp was a giant , and ho dealt blows
like those of a sledge hammer , rather than
the thrusts of u dumascus steel. His eloquence
was forcible and ever effective.
Walter I. .Smith presented the resolutions
passed by the Ued Oak bur , and added his In-
divldutd tribute.
Coptnin Hlght presented a carefully pre
pared address , ono of tbo most llnishe'd und
most tender tributes of the occasion.
J. Henry Wcscott voiced the sentiments of
the Kcokuk bar in paying duo tribute to the
ono whom all were vicing in honoring. Judge
Aylosworth uUo gave a few well chosen
words.
Mr. .Tacob Sims made a brief address , but
one of the most eloquent of the hour. Ilia
ploturinir of Colonel Supp's peculiar powers
was graced by a beauty of rhetoric which any
attempted synopsis would hut mutilate.
Mr. Houltou and Judge Carson also spoke
briefly. Judge Deemer made the closing in
connection with the order to have the reso
lutions placed upon the records of ttio court.
The court reporter is to extend his notes ,
thus putting in shape for preservation and
future reference the many utterances of clo-
juenco and truthfulness which ciiaracterlzeil

The Twin City Charter.
The city council met ns a committee of the
whole yesterday afternoon In the police p.itrol
room nnd discussed the ) now charter sub mlt
tea by the Twin City street railway company
at the meeting of the ) council on Monday
night. All the members were present and
the city attorney was also called In. Dr. Mercer -
cer was present and looked after the Interests
of his company , assisted by Colonel Dniloy.
The committee mot at 4:30 : o'clock and con
tinued In session until dark.
The charter was given a close scrutiny and
deliberated upon section by section. Dr.
Mercer was willing to have any alterations
or additions made that would not Immiirtho
charter or place his company at a disadvan
tage compared with the Interstate company ,
whoso charter went through a-salllng at the
meeting on Monday night. The original or
dinance submitted was a true copy of the
Omaha motor company's ' charter , but the
council desired to show no preferences to
either of the corporations , and the proposi
tion was made to Dr. Mercer to nmko it al
most an exact copy of the charter granted to
the other company. This was subtantlally
agreed to , nnd every provision end restric
tion placed in the Interstate charter was In
corporated in the Twin City's fraiuhise.
The discussion was of an informal and
very harmonious nntiiry , and the probability
is that when the council meets this evening
In special session the franchise will bo
granted without delay or friction. " It is
possible , however , that the Interstate people
will object to the council granting the Twin
City company the right to lav Its tracks
throughout East Omaha , which is owned al
most exclusively by the East Omaha land
nnd Improvement company. The land has
not yet been platted nnd brought in as an
addition to the city , and there "will perhaps
bo a legal question raised as to the council's
authority to grant franchises over streets
tlmt have not yet been dedicated to the pub
lic. The charter granted to the Interstate )
company gives the right to lay tracks on any
nnd all pf the streets that are now or may
hereafter bo laid out in that portion
tion of the cltv , nnd the company
that owns everything there , induct
ing the streets , will probably look with a
good deal of Jealousy 1111011 any attempt on
the part of the city to grant franchises for
public enterprises upon anel through private
property.
None of the representatives of the Inter
state company wo'o present at the committee
meeting yesterday nlternoon , but when this
clause of the Twin City's charter was
reached In the Monday night meeting Attor
ney Burke , for the company , made a vigor
ous protest against any such action. This
will probably bo the only point upon which
there will bo any lisputo" when the ) matter
comes up for llnal action tonight. It 14 not
understood that the Twin City company in
sist very earnestly upon this clnuso of their
franchise , but Dr. Mercer intimated in the
committee meeting yesterday that such a
privilege would bo necessary for the success
ful carrying out of their project.
Before the meeting adjourned Dr. Mercer
assured the aldermen that the charter as
amended would bo accepted by his company.

ItVn.s Chairs v.s Spittoons.
Last night about 0 o'clock a rough and
tumble light occurred In Johnny SchelTerli's
saloon west of the postoflieo , and when it
was over ono of the participants required the
attention of a physician , and the police were
scouring the city in search of four of the
others implicated. They were Patsy Galla
gher , Ed and Jim Mahcr and Lloyd For-
graves. The warrants for their arrest
charged thorn with assault and battery upon
A. T. McEnturf , and when ho appeared nt
the city clerk's olllco nnd flled his informa
tion his appearance bore strong testi
mony to a serious assault. A pnsh
four or flvo inches long extended
across tlio right side of his head and another
cut two inches long reached from Ills under
lip to the point of ills chinwhllosovoral prom
inent bruises and abrasions elsewhere con
tributed to substantiate his story. Ho said
tlmt ho had dropped into the saloon a few mo
ments where the crowd referred to had
gathered , aad where Jimmy Maher , who has
recovered from the olTccts of the bullets that
Ofllccr Noyes deposited In his legs
last summer sufliciently to get
around , is engaged as bartender.
MoEnturf says that shortly after ho entered
the saloon ho was called upon to treat the
crowd , anil after a little delay did so. Ho
says the bartender attempted to overcharge
him for the cigars ami stun ordered and ho ob
jected and throw down thocigarho had taken
nnd refused to pay the whole amount of the
bill. This led to a dispute , which quickly
drew a general attack upon him. Ho picked
up a chair to defend himself with , but was
struck on the head witli n hoary Iron spit
toon. This stunned him , and the crowd then
kicked nnd beat him until ho succeeded la
reaching thn door and got away from them.
In the meantime a telephone mossngo had
been sent to the marshal's ofllco calling for
the police. McBnturf reached the station n
few moments Inter , battered and bleeding.
Ho was taken to the city clerk's ofllco and
tiled the information upon which the war
rants were issued. Ho was taken to City
Physician Jennings1 oflico nnd had his
wounds dressed. Several stitches were re
quired to bring the severed edges together.
The warrants wore placed in the hands of
Oftlcor Beswlck , and a few moments after
Forgravcs and Ed Mahcr were placed under
arrest. They were found nt the saloon ,
which was closed , and they were taken to
the station. Dan Cnrrlgg was notillod of the
arrest and before the key was turned on the
boys ho had filed a bond for their appearance
at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Jimmy Mahcr
and Gallagher had not been arrested up to 11
o'clock.
The proprietor of the saloon , Schofferll.
was not present during the row , and Eu
Mahcr says that Jimmy was not them. The
saloon was formerly owned by Mlko Kildnrc ,

the Chicago Herald. Hi the course ( if
vcnrs ho has grown stoutur and stronger ,
but ho has aged prematurely. At onetime

his doctor having prescribed abstention

carelessness to excesses of weather is ono

Tale of a Haunted Wrap.
A lady spent the night recently ut a
friend's house as u guest , says the Wash
ington Star. The evening was n chilly
one , nnd upon going to bed the hostess
gave her visitor n'voluminous wrap with
which to keep herself warm.
The lady were the wrap nil night and
found it very comfortable , but , never
theless , " she did not rest vary well on ac
count of mysterious noises that slio
heard. Sometimes she even Imagined
that she hoard groans , so that moro
than once slio wns on the point of get
ting up to see what the matter was. In
the morning at breakfast she was asked
hv her hostess how she had slept , and
replied that she had been disturbed by
unaccountable sounds
t
"O , how awfully interesting ! " exclaimed -
claimed the hostess. "And what were
they like ? " *
The guest descriocd them as best she
could , whllo the hostess listened with
rapt attention ,
"How Interested my husband shall bol
I wns so anxious to know if you would
liuvo any such experiences , because my
firot husband died in the wrap I lent you ,
and it has been our belief that it is
haunted. Hut wo have , never had nn
opportunity to try it on a stranger be
fore , and your evidence is , of course ,
conclusive. "
The good lady had become so carried
away by the enthusiasm of the sclontillo
investigation that she forgot for the
time being to regard the comfort of her
guest.

prominent military critic not long ago
to a reporter of the Milwaukee Wiscon
sin , "will bo a qulot man at the end of a

this description applied to Field Marshal
Von Moltko. But it will bo still truer of
the successful loader in the next Euro
pean war. A dispatch from London
shows how England is preparing for the
ehnngo. It says :
An elaborate system of war telegraph
ing has been arranged between the ad
miralty department and the postolllce.
It is now possible by this arrangement ,
upon short notice , to connect every tele
graph station on the coast directly with
the admiralty olllco.
Quito a contrast between the old pic
ture of "tho duke of Wellington riding
about amiel fire nnd cannon balls" nnd 11
military leader who' does his work sit
ting at a desk in an oflico like a mer
chant , conning bulletins from his vari
ous subordinate * ) as they como in on a
"ticker , " and elispatchlng orders , not by
aides-elu-pamp , but by telegraphic dis
patch , just as a speculator wires his
broker to "buy ten September. " There
is nothing dramatic about that way of
conducting ! ! . campaign. Thopicturoi-quo-
ness of poetry nro knocked out of war
and n has become iv grim business oven
in its superficial aspects , as it always
was in Its underlying reality.

Savlnga Society.
Kfforts to induce the porsem of Piunll
means to snvo his spnro dimes and quar
ters nro apt to prove vain , pays the Hos-
ton Advertiser. A decided stop In the
direction of helping people to Independ
ence Is taken when they arc shown that
the smallest sums nro worth putting
nsitlo In.viowof . the Inevitable rainy day.
The Stump savings fooloty , which 1ms
just started ib UoMon , alms to make tlio
saving of small sums attractive. The
Bocloty is under the charge of tv board of
directors of well known and rcsponslitlo
people. There is a central olllco , where
the cashier may been seen dally , nnd
brunch stations nro established wher
ever n responsible person thinks ho can
induce people to save. Thes-o branch
stations tire most likely to bo found in
boys' and girls' clubs , largo shops , fac
tories , nnd similar plnccs. Kvory would-
ho depositor obtains n curd from the
local treasurer , and when ho wishes to
inuho a deposit obtains from the treas
urer u stamp , representing the amount
of his savings , which he pastes upon the
card. W lion a depositor is ready to
\vlthdruw Ills doposils ho simply pre
sents his carel to the local treasurer ,
who pays him the nmount of his slumps.
Tlio locul treasurer is only a middle man
between the depositor nnd the central
olllce , for all the bookkeeping is carried
on lit the latter place/ The money re
ceived at the central olllco is deposited
in a national bank. Depositors arc ad
vised to remove their money from the
care of the society when it lias reached
$5 , and are encouraged to put it In some
savings bank. The plan of this society ,
it will bo seen , is very simple. In Bal
timore and Now York , where it has
been working for a year or two , it has
proved extremely successful.
Tlio Sailor Didn't ICinploy It.
Thcro was a funny occurrence on
Pratt street wharf , says the Ualtlmo'-o
Herald. A sailor on an oyster pungy
which had boon cruising about the
oyster grounds on Magothy river landed
with a dilapidated-looking watermelon
under his right arm. Thomariner , en
tered a nonr-by saloon , laid the piece
of fruit down on the bar and culleil fern
n glass of beer.
It being a little Into in the season for
melons a crowd gathered around to look
at the sailor's llnd unel several of thorn
emphatically expressed doubts as to the
boundness of the molon. The sailor ,
innocent of what was insldo of It , said to
prove that the moloir was in good shape
ho would plug it before carrying it to
his best , girl , to whom ho intended to
present it. lie did so and upon extract
ing a piece of the rind about a hundred
wusps How out nnd made things lively
about the place.
It seems that the melon was somewhat
overripe , nnd while lying neglected in
Us bed a family of wasps had bored a
small hole in ono end of it and taken up'
their abode therein. The man who
brought it to town rushed out of the
place with several of the insects settling
down upon his fuco , und in his hurry ho
knocked over an Italian fruit stand , fell
on a cat , which was crushed to death
nnd nearly knocked two policnmon in
the dock. The restaurant inim put out
his gas und loft his dogs to light the
