The Gosgrove orchestra entertained a
good audience at the M. E. church las
night , the entertainment being given
under the auspices of the Ladies Aid
society. The program presented by the
company was of the kind that would
appeal to the general public. The selec
turns wore not beyond their understand
ing and yet they wore of a high grade
of musical effort and were well appre
oiated. Many who attended were of
the opinion that it was the finest rnusi
cal entertainment ever given in the city
The solo work was highly pleasing , and
the violin and vocal solos were especially
well received. The novelty instruments
were employed by the company wi'h
effect and almost every number on the
entire program was given an encore ,
tfone in the audience was heard
to express regret of the time and money
expended for the entertainment.
One of the prettiest parties of [ the
season was given yesterday after
noon by Mrs. J. K. Boas , Mrs. T. E.
Odiorne and Mrs. E. A. Bullock at the
home of the latter on south Twelfth
street. The house had been converted
into a veritable St. Valentine's fairy
land by the substitution 'of electric
lights for that of daylight , while festoons
teens of hearts of red and gold deco
rated the rooms. The subdned light and
; ho dreamy mnsio of the harpist
added to the effect , which was beauti
ful and pleasing. The afternoon was
spent by the ladies at six-hand euchre ,
place cards being of dainty heart-shaped
> exes and progression indicated by
> ieccs of heart shaped candies. Mrs.
F. G. Salter was successful in winning

lostessea to another company of ladies
omorrow afternoon.

onrunmont in this city during the corn-
ug Bummer , , have met with very gen-
rsus and cordial responses from a uum-
) or of the business men , bnt others ap
pear to have misunderstood the function
f the committee and appear to believe
hat it is out for the purpose of boiug
bused for its efforts in behalf of Nor-
oik. A member of the committee said
his morning that while they were not
willing that Norfolk should lose a good
liing because a few of the business men
were grumpy and abusive , they did not
repose to be a constant target for
ubtiHo , and would drop the matter if
they mot with mnoh moro of the fiuuo
sort of argument. They oxprm n
willingness to do n full share toward
the entertainment of thin Htato event
that will benefit the business men of
Norfolk if it benefits anyone , but they
are not no extremely anxious to have it
hold here that they will endeavor to
foroo It on the city. The committee ox-
poets to complete its work soon and
cither Invite the tournament to come or
stay away.

MAY CHANGE NAME.
Elkhorn May Lose its Identity as a
Result of Recent Action.
According to General Manager Bid-
well of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis
souri Valley railroad , the name of that
line will bo changed as a result of the
recent absorption by the Chicago &
Northwestern railway. Mr. Bidwoll
has yet received absolutely no orders to
this effect , nor any announcement of
any kind relating to the change , but he
expects such a move.
"Tho name of the line probably will
bo changed , " said Mr. Bidwill. "That
moans the rolottoriug of the cars , now
stationery , blanks , transportation evi
dences , advertising. In fact , number
less alternations will bo necessitated by
the change of nnnio , I have no notion
wh. 11 it will begin , nor have I been
notified that it will take place , but it
probably will bo douo. "
Speculation is rampant in railroad
circles and especially around Elkhorn
headquarters as to wha ( the , name Twill
bo. It is agreed that all evidences o'
the present lengthy title will be abel
ished. But tbo question is , will the
now name to bo used bo "Tho North
western System" or The Chicago &
Northwestern Railway" or any other ol
a number of possibilities. If the iden
tity of the Elkhorn road is to bo entirely
tirely lost in that of the parent stem the
name probably will bo simply an * exten
sion of the present "Chicago & North
western Railway. " This was douo in
the case of the Sioux City & Pacific ,
which when absorbed a short time ago
merely lost its idontlty and became a
part of the road , and has not since been
known apart from it.
But the Sioux Oitj & Pacifid was in
no way differentiated from the rest of
the road by location , while the Elkhorn
is distinctly apart from the North
western proper , being across the Mis
souri river. Other railroad systems
have invariably followed the plan of
keeping their lines east and west of the
Missouri separate both in name and in
reality. There is the Chicago , Bur
lington & Quincy east of the river and
the B. & M. west. And when the
Rock Island acquired its lines west of
the river they wore named the "Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific lines west of tbo
Missouri river. " This title still obtains.

Boyd Refuses to Restrain W.
O. Hall from Barbering.
District Judge J , F. Boyd was down
from Nuligh yesterday and during the
afternoon held a Reunion of oourt in
chambers at the law oflico of Mapcs &
Hu/en to hear the injunction suit Insti
tuted by O. J. Reed , against W. 0.
Hall the object of which was to prevent
Hall from engaging in the harbor buhl-
IICHH in Norfolk. When Mr. Rood
bought out Mr. Hall's business it was
his understanding that ho had also pur
chased the good will of the former pro
prietor of the shop. A number of wit
nesses wore examined and the testimony
wont to show that while there had boon
a verbal agreement to that effect such a
condition was not included in the bill of
sale signed by Hall , and therefore the
court ref UBOd to grant the prayer for an
injunction. Judge Robertson was at
torney for the defense and Jack Koonig-
stoln counsel for the plaintiff.
