Tire I.mliiM Nominated.
The work of making nominations was saon
finished , and n ticket was made up that will-
undoubtedly be the winning ono next Mon
day. M. H. Chniuberllii suggested the
names of Mrs. M. U. Aylesworth nnd Mrs.
Anna Sims , and on motion of Sauiidcrs they
were nominated by acclamation , unani
mously. The convention then adjourned.
The ticket met with favor from all the del
egates , with but few exceptions , nnd those
opposing were almost exclusively the at
taches of the various banks , who nave been
in the habit of setting up and knocking down
candidates nt their own sweet will In order
that they might have the use of $70,000 or
more of the people's money. The election
ol these two ladles will do away
with the banks as a factor in the public
school work and make the board , to a certain
extent nt least , what it should bo. n nonpartisan -
partisan , nonpurchasableaffair. It is hinted
that the banks will do n great deal of work
on the qulc't to defeat the election of these
two ladles , and If they are defeated it will
bo duo mainly to the efforts of thso largo
corporatioiiH and their allies.

The mso has loen pending ever nlnco 18S , " > .
nnd grows out of a change In the tnlmls of
the democratic council which then nmnnpcd
nl Hairs. ! It was at llrst decided that the out
let of the nmln city sewer should bo nt Lnko
Mi , nnd that the course of the sewer
sh bo directly south from Fourteenth
street. The contract for the work was nl-
i lowed to Vincent , nnd the price was fixed nt
SI'.UOO. Later on the council doi-lded to
chnngo the plan nnd run the sewer In n
southwesterly direction from the Intersec
tion of Fourteenth street nnd Twenty-fourth
avenue. Vincent's contrjct was declared
off , nml ho commenced suit to collect the
price agreed upon. The interest amounts to
nearly half of the original claim , nnd the
costs , before the litigation cuds , will un
doubtedly run well up Into the hundreds of
dollars , without tailing Into account the fees
which will liavo to bo paid by the city to the
assisting attorney , Flnley Hurkc.
' Yesterday afternoon tbo attorneys for the
city Hied an answer nnd counter claim In
which they stated the casofrom their stand-
iroint. They claim that the bid upon which
the contract was let provided for the work
to bo done In sections of DOO feet each , nnd
In no other way. Vincent had prolonged the
last section Indefinitely , and would have run
It clear to the river if ho had not been
stooped by the council. The city's attorneys
claim that Vincent was not damaged by the
change , as ho would h\ve : lost money If ho
had been allowed to complete the contract
as ilrst contemplated. They also allege that
when the change was made Vincent was
given the contract for making the sewer
according to the now plan , and was paid In
full for his work. The counter claim calls
for a Judgment of $10,000 against the con
tractor , alleging that the work ho did was
done in a careless and unworkmanlike manner.

The Third Ward Tic.
The aldcrmanie contest in the Third ward
Is very likely to go to the courts , and it may
be two weeks or more before it will bo known
positively whether Olcason or Hathaway
was elected. The official canvass of the vote
cast nt the Inst election was made yesterday
afternoon by the city clerk nnd mayor , but
it was a purely formal affair , and no ques
tion came uii ns to the regularity of the
count. In addition to the dissatisfaction on
Nolan's part , it is now cl-ilmcd by Hatha-
way's friends that there were two or three
votes counted for Glcason which should not
have been so counted , on account of some
nllcgcd irregularity in the marking , and if
this is so , Hathnway's loss on Nolan's ac
count may bo inoro than made up by Glca-
son's loss in other directions. The question
as to the legality of the work done by the
Judges must bo raised , if at all. by ono of the
L-andidntcs. The council , which meets next
Tuesday evening , may then order a recount ,
or tbo case may bo brought into court. In
any event the questions may not bo settled
for some little time.
The canvass of the vote , while It did not
change the aspect of things from an nlder-
manio standpoint , resulted disastrously to
the hopes of the park commissioners , who
have agreed on having $5,000 each year for
the next two years to spend in park improve
ments. And it was all' on account of the
eight voters in Cut Off , who evidently do
not appreciate fully the advantages of hav
ing parks. It was learned for the first
time when tbo canvass was made that the
returns from the election in the Second pre
cinct of the Sixth ward , known as Cut-off ,
had not been correctly written on the out
side of the envelope from which the pub
lished figures were taken. Bp some book or
crook the eight votes that were
cast by the Cut-off islanders against
the park appropriation had been
recorded by the judges in favor
of it. That ina'do the total vote , as already
given , 7W for and 77 ! ) against , and tlio
proposition was declared carried by a major
ity of 13 votes. The m'stnko ' being reetilied ,
the vote stands 7ST against to 781 for and the
proposition Is defeated by 8 votes ,
ii. A. Caspar , the new park commissioner ,
takes the discovery a little harder
than any body else , It is said ,
for ho had already begun laying plans ns to
how the money stiould bo spent. To bo
elected to n non-salaried oQleo without any
money In the treasury to spend and without
anything , in fact , to do , Is a hard blow In
deed , and Casper is regretting bitterly that
the council , of which ho was a member ,
worked so hard to get cut off Into the United
States.

Nr.\v OIII.CAN ! ! , La. , March U. There came
nearly being an Improvised fight of the rough
nnd tumble sort at the Crescent City Athletic
club this afternoon. Fitzsimmons visited the
club at 3 o'clock. Ho went to the reading
room and beiran writing a letter. With htm
were two friends of this city. While Fitz
was seated at the writing desk Jim Hall.
Mitchell , 'Squlro Aolngdon and McAullffc
entered the apartment. Fitzsimmons wore
n buttonholeboquct of more than ordinary
slzo. It caught the eye of McAullffo , who
said to 'Squiro Ablngdon : "Some of us arc
wearing the ( lower gardens today ; that's
nice , now ain't It ! "
Hall partly laughed at the sally , but Fitz-
slmmons did not siy : n word. Ono of the
party made a slurring remark concerning
Bay St. Louis , at which the ex-Australian
laughed. His ilaugh was taken as a per-
sonal affair by the "squire , who spoke his
mind freely.
Ablngdon's remarks nettled Fitzsimmons ,
who arose from his seat and declared his
ability and willingness to do anything In the
way of making things even for everybody
concerned. Hi ) sild : that It cut no fignro
with him if "Squlro" Ablngdon owned the
whole of England and that his wealth did
not give him the right to put In his oar.
Mitchell 1'uts 111 IIU ( Mr.
Mitchell now took a hand in the argument
and assured Fitz with considerable passion
that every man in the Hall party w.is n gen
tleman. Bob agreed that their actions
proved this to bo true. Mitchell and Hall
stood side by side , but Hall did not enter the
row. He did not c\en look toward Fitzsim
mons. Just at this Juncture President
Charles Noel entered the room and the men
quit talking. Fitzsimmons after the dis
pute said that he had only been deterred
from acting rashly on account of being tlu
guest of the club.
' 1 was ready for any kind of rumpus , " ho
said , "and if the Winters had pressed mo
much farther 1 would certainly have used my
walking cano over their heads. I was not
looking for a row , and if I was I would not
have visited the club room in search of them.
I certainly would not have soiled my
hands on them if the row had
been started , but would have knocked
down some of them dead sure. I
bear no malice toward Hall. On the con
trary I am Indebted to him for giving me a
chance to win the purse , and I am not one of
those fellows who crow after winning a
battle. I am willing to meet Hall , but he
doesn't seem to want to know me , and there
the matter stands.1' '
Mr. Noel gave Hall hts check for $2,500
drawn on the Bank of Cdmmerce at Chicago ,
Hall and his party -left the club rooms at 4
o'clock. Fitzsimmons' atter the row , made a
statement that Warren Lewis , backer of
Jim Hall , visited him'and made a proposition
to him to whack up the purse evenly and let
him and Hall battle for the honor of victory
on ii level.
Spurned Thiilr OITer.
"I did not line the gait , " said Fitzsim
mons. "I had played'hp ' ( sucker role once In
my life and it has taken'mo ever since to set
myself right before the p'ubllc. I determined
that I would never again leave myself open
to criticism and refused Lewis' offer. I
thought , too , that I had too good a thing to
arrange to give Hall , ) ; v half Interest In a
purse I felt I could easily win. "
Fitzsimmons admitted that ho would have
no sure thing against Corbett. Juekson or
Slavin ; nor would Mall. "Of course , by
chauco cither Hall or himself might whip
ono or the other of these great fighters. Ho
did not believe Mitchell ought to bo
classed ns u first rate man , nnd said that ho
In no wise had a claim to being in the list of
champions. Choynski is a good clever
man , " ho said , "and I place him as a llttlo
heavyweight. But at that I thlnlc Hall
could whip him. "
Jim Hall , "Squire Ablngdon , Warren
Lewis , Charley Mitchell and the 'squire's
secretary and valet , with Bat Mastcrson ,
will leave the city Friday morning for Den
ver. The" 'squire desires to see n bit of the
west and proposes to stay at Denver for a
week or ten duys. The party will then
po to Chicago for a few days and proceed to
Now York , soon thereafter sailing for Eng-
liunl.
liunl.Fitzstmmons
Fitzstmmons has announced that ho Is
ready to meet any man at 150 or 158 pounds.
Ho will depart for Chicago early the coming
week , whcro ho promises to knock out Milto
Bodcn In four rounds. Fitzsimmons says that
his right will do the work. Fitzsimmons ad-
mils that Hall Is n remarkably clever fighter
nnd is one of the hardest men to got in on ho
over had to deal with. In speaking of the
fight with Hall Fitzsimmons said that In
the last round ho purposely feinted three
times with his loft for the wind , expecting
to fool Hall. Ho did so and that was the
only explanation ho could give of the light.
Fitz regards Jack Dempscy as the greatest
'
ring general in'tho history of the ring , but
says that Hall surpasses him in science.

of § 10,000 in cash prizes for each meeting
had been decided upon. Already the assoet-
ntlon has received communications from
cities in England and Australia expressing a
desire to como hero and compote. The entire -
tire afternoon was u > Yotcd to the perfection

t'tmrrrt nl Aimirlntliin Unit ,
The Llstoinnnn concert at the hall of the
Young Men's Christian association last
evening was far and away the lending event ,
from n musical stnmliwlnt , Omaha has had
this season , with the single exception of the
Nordlcn concert , nnd In Its scope it was
qulto the equal of that Tory brilliant enter
tainment.
What n pity It Is that the concert could
not have been held In n room better
adapted for concert imrposes than Is the
Young Men's Christian association hall , for
the iJsteimuin club qulto deserves the
very nest of surroundings. Its orogramoof
Inst evening abounded In musical perns ,
many of them heard for the first time in
Omahn , For a number of years the Llstc-
maim club has occupied a high position in
the musical envies of the east , for its Indi
vidual members are always thorough artists
of the most classical of school , and in en
semble work they Invariably show the great
art of the concert master. Mr Bernhard
Llstctnann , who was and still is ono of the
greatest violinists In America.
Although Mr. Ltstemann shows the flight
oi the years , ho nevertheless plays with the
strength and ardor of fifteen years ago ,
when ho stood at the head of masters of the
violin. Ills marvelous technique and the
forceful use of his left hand arc still subjects
for laudation ninong musicians. Last night
he played a new concerto by Hubax that won
for the artist demonstrations that amounted
to a real ovation , to which ho responded
with n Hungarian dance by Bazzinl.
But the real treat of th concert was the
appearance of Fritz Gicse , the 'cclloist ,
easily the greatest master of that instru
ment living. Although this was Mr. CJicso's
fourth appearance In Omaha since ho first
came as a member of the Mendelssohn club ,
many in the audience wcro listening to this
master for the first time. mU from this on
they will have a inoro exalted respect for
the instrument which Gloso knows how to
play. Under his touch it seems endowed
with lifo and breathes Its passion in the
tones that are unrivaled in nil the
stringed Instruments. His reception was
most llattering to the artist , 'his first
number , n concerto by Gottevman , requiring
an encore , which ho recognized with an
etude by Duport , and then to cap it all he
played a cappricio by Jacquard , strengthened
In composition by his own skill.
Mr. F. Kucquoy plays the llute exquisitely ,
and In method very much suggests Mr. Bar
rett , the English player , who was seen in
Omaha with Albani several years ago.
Miss Nannie Hands , n product of tno west
nnd n most promising soprano , won the audi
ence by the resonant quality of bur volco.
She is n pupil of Mr. S. Ivronbcrg and u
native of Kansas City , which may
feel a certain pride in the fu
ture , before this young woman.
Her singing of the scena nnd aria from "No-
bucodnosor" showed a rich voice , particu
larly brilliant in the middle register , her
low notes being Just , a bit rough. Some
fault might bo found with her English
methods , but so excellent was her work that
these little fallings of youth can easily bo
remedied.
Of the playingof theclubonly thowarmest
words of praise would fit the case. In
tempo , attach , modulation nnd finish. It was
perfect , and the critic only regrets that the
beauties of the evening cannot bo told at
length.
"I.nrry the l.ord"at the Iloyil.
"There are only a few of us here , but
we're having lots of fun.1 That was the put
Interpolation of Mr. H. E. Graham last evenIng -
Ing on being recalled for the fifth time for n
clever song ho sings in the last act of
"Larry the Lord. " Lots of fun was cer
tainly had. "Larry the Lord" is the taking
title of a very weak farce ; that is , weak in
itself as a farce , but it is the means of intro
ducing some capital hinging anil superior
dancing , the whole forming an entertain
ment worth seeing. The first act is some
what slow , but the second and third go with
a bang. Mr. Graham himself is a very
clever comedian , though it must bo said his
part of Larry personating the lord , his mas
ter , is not ono that seems to give fullest
opiK > rtunity for display of his peculiar tal
ents. Yet ho makes much of Itjind through
out Is.very funny. The company is espe
cially strong musically , and in Miss Edith
Crasko has a dansciisc of unusual freshness ,
grace und art. The songs are all new ana
most of them are much above the average of
those heard in "musical comeuies , " an.l all
In all "Larry the Lord"'should bo seen by
those who can appreciate two hours of clean ,
honest merriment.
J'lehl'n MlnstrcU nt the I'ilrniln. :
The enpiiKcmcnt of Al G. Field's American
minstrels opened with every seat occupied at
the Farnam Street theater last night. The
minstrelsy was considerably bettor than
the average and afforded a pleasant oven-
ing's entertainment. 'I he flrst part intro
duced a symposium of the old plantation
melodies that always llnd favor with an
audience when well rendered , and they were
followed by 11 program which contained u
number of unique and interesting features.
The specialties were all taking , and the
humor lacked the chcstnutty flavor which
mars many similar performances There
was the usual amount of good singing nnd
dancing , and altogether , the show is well
worth seeing.
