J James Michael O'Gorman, Ro man Catholic Bishop of Nebraska, died in this city on Saturday last, at 1:30 p. m., after a very brief illness, at the age of 05 years, having been born in the county of limerick, Ireland, In 1809. His parents were of noble ancestry, and, strange as it may seem, many of his nearest rel atives were Protet tants, two of his brothers being Orangemen. After receiving a very liberal ed ucation, young O'Gorman atthe age of 19 entered the monastry of 3Iount Melarry, County of Waterford, un der the auspices of the Trappists, one of the most austere and self abnegating "of the monastic orders. In due course of ame he was or dained priest, and in 1830 he was sent on a mission to America, to es tablish a branch of the Trapplst or der, which helocated near Dubuque, Iowa, giving it the name of New Mellary. Hero be remained until the spring of 1859, when he came to Nebraska, having been consecrated Vicar Apostolic of this See on the 8th of May of that year. During the fifteen eventful j-ears that since elapsed Bishop O'Gor man devoted his whole energy to the building up of .the Catholic Church not only in this city and State, but also directing his labors to the more distant territories West. Imbued with a deep and devotion al piety, and endowed with a kind ly heart, this venerable prelate was ever ready to sacrifice comfort und self-interest in the noble cause of re ligion and humanity. His benevo lence knew no bounds, and his char ity was not confined to creed or sect- Tp Lis untiring efforts we may as cribe he location, In our midst, of those models of human patience and benevolence, the Sisters of Mercy, and to him is due the credft of that noble institution, the Omaha Mercy Hospital. Bishop O'Gorman also founded 3It St Mary's Convent In this city. With all his religious zeal and his vigorous monastic training, Bishop O'Gorman was one of the most lib eral of churchmen. When the great council of Bishops was held at Rome, he was found with the very few intrepid prelates who cast their vcte agaiust the dogma of papal infallibility, After fojs return to America, when the infallibility dogma was promulgated, Bishop O'Gorman with the others who had opposed the meas ure gave his cordial acquies ence. Whether as a churchman or a citizen, Bishop Q'Qorman enjoyed the universal veneration of all the people who came in contact with him. His gentle, unaffected man ner, and his affable bearing, gave him easyaccoss to everybody's con fidence. His demise wH be deeply lamented by all our citizens, but especially by tho faithful flock that habitually looted to him for fath erly consolation and advice. The remains of the Bishcp M'ill be removed from tho Episcopal resi dence to-morrow at 0 a. nj., and laid in state in theC thedrol, where the religious offices prescribed by the Catholic ritual will be per formed. The Jast requiem mass will be said between 9 and 10 a. m. by the bfsh ops and priests. After this the corpse will be subject to a farewell look to all who may desire. The body will thereaftei be deposited with customary rites in the vault erected under the high. P)tar. It has been customary In other cities on similar occasions, for the business community, as a mark of respect, to a deceased Prelate, to suspend business for an hour or two during the performance of the fu neral ceremony, Bishop O'Gorman quite apart from his rank In the Churoh was one of Omaha's oldest and most In fluential pioneers. We would 'here fore suggest that the public accord to him the same honors that some are paid elsewhere to eminent men and honored citizens. renonai. F. E.

The Excursion The Picnio The Exercises and Amusements. How theJ-Ko-ops" Plan of Cap taring the Grangers Failed. Their Little Programme Didn't Pan Oat Well. Too Much Beer the Cause of Sev eral Fights and a Pitched Bat tle between the Granger boys and the "Town ies.' The Start The Trip The Artful dodge of the "Xunning Ko-ops," &c At half-past ten o'clock Saturday morning a train of ten coaches and three baggage cars, having on board about 1,000 persons, men, women and children, left the Union Pacific depot for the Granger celebration of the national holiday at the Elkhorn river bridge. The Trades Unions were largely represented, and about 75 of the "Ko-ops" were observed to be among the excursionists, the remainder of the party being made up of citizens generally. Before and after the train started the lead ing "Ko-ops" such as Strickland, Hascall, Dudley, Pratt, H. B. 3Iyers, IJams, Johnson, Bal combe, Lee, and Frank Walters, busied themselves in distributing blood-red badges, having on them the words "Council of Industry, No. J." A largo number of per sons pinned these badges on their garments, and thus an impression was made upon those who were not so well posted as the key-hole re porter of the Dee, that the "Ko ops" were three or four hundred strong. This was a cunning device of the "Ko-ops" to deceive the Grangers as to their real strength, but the scheme of the artful dodgers failed In Its desired end, for soon quite a number of the badge-bearers those who were not "Ko-ops" -took off the blood-red ribbons, wljen they discovered the fraud, and vst theni out of the windows. The f'Ko-oy" force thus dwindled down very materially, ami when the train arrived at its destination, they didn't "loom up" in numbers one tenth as much as they Had expect ed. This was their first sad disappofntrnpntj which reminded Gen.' Strickland of thoso euddpst words of tongue or pen, "it might have beon " The ride from Omaha was a plea sant one, and was enjoyed by all. The rich waving fields of grain, the high po.ru, aiJil other crops, afforded a pleasing sigqt to t&e eye, aud ga vp evidonco of an abundant harvest One of the "Ko-ops" manifested a great deal of curiosity In regard to the corn and rye; he had often seen them "raised" at Capt Lee's saloon, the headquarters of the "Sons of Toil," but that was the first time In his industrious life that ho had ever seen corn and rye in sucn a ques tionable shape. Another "Ko-op," wjjo had been a farmer once, warn ed him not to furthor exposp hs ig: norance concerning farm products, as the Grangers might glvo him the "grand bounce." AT THE GROVE. On arrival at the bridge the ex cursionists disembarked, and were received by the Granger Marshals of the day. A line was formed, and the procession in straggling or der marched to the grove, where a speakers' and musicians' stand had been erected, a large dancing plat farm laid down, seats put up, a well sunk, swings hung from the tall trees, and other necessary arrange ments made. The grove in itself, vas very pleasant and shady, being on the bank of tho Elkhorn river; but one impediment was the lack of grass, and tljo superabundance of sand, which filled the ladies' shoes full, while the numerous sand-burs stuck to them closer than their es corts and more firmly than postage stamps to on envelope, The crowd, including "Ko-ops," Trades' Unionists, and excursionists generally, from Omaha and else where, numbered from 2,000 to 2,500. The Grange officials were: Presl-, dent H. M. Goff; Secretary, S. J. Cutler; Marshall, W. R. Turner; Assistant Marshals, S. J. Cutler, J. A. Grifin, Fred. Stabri, and T. Thomas. The Grange societies present were Commercial Grange No. 224, Gregg school house, MoArdle precinct; Dryden Grange No. 501, Glandt's school house, McArdle precluct; Waterloo Grange, No. 200, Water loo, Valley precinct; Iron Bluffs Grange No. 840, Iron Bluffs school house, Chicago precinct; Elkhorn City Grange No. 152; Millard Grange No. 385; Valley Grange No. 204, Valley precinct; Empire Grange No. 572, Sarpy county; Pleasant Prairie No. 432, Douglas county. THE IMPUDENCE OF THE KO-OPS, AND HOW THEVWERE SNCBBED. The key-hole reporterof the Bee, as well as several other lookers-on from Omaha, could not help but observe the artful manoou vers of the members of the "Co-operarlve Un ion of Farmers and .Mechanics, No. 1, of Omaha," and most amus ing were the actions" of such "no ble farmers and mechanics, "and "in dustrlouseusses'as Gen. Strickland, Hascall, Judge .Dudley, Anti-Monopolist Balcombe, H. B. Myers, Frank Walters, Mills, the poor s friend, air-castle Johnson, Pratt, the "Ko-op" In that m. - w Ministers and angels .of grace de fend us ! from the machinations of such political bummers, wire-pullers- and standing candidates ! The Ku-KIux Ko-ops leaders went to Elkhorn with the Determi nation of capturing the Grangers. They had made out a complete programme, which they intended to have carried into enect to muuu their desired end. Strickland, Gwyer, ami Hascall, were to have been called on for speeches, at the proper time. D. H. Pratt was to have been called out to read a lengthy "pome," written by him self expressly for the occasion. School teacher Wright, from Sara toga. Pratt, and two others, forming a quartette, were to have sung by special rem est, sv koorse, the ode "of the "Ko-ops," written to order by Pratt, and arranged to the tune of "Wearing of the Green." Chap lain Saint A. D. Balcombe, was to have offered up one of his sublime prayers; and Frank Walters, If the patience of the Grangers would stand it, was to have been allow ed an opportunity to extinguish himself. uch was the plan o' the "Ko-ops" to gull and deceive the Grangers, but it didn't pan out worth a cent. They came, they saw, and they went home disgusted at their defeat, which was accom plished in a -most genteel manner. But let us return to the perform ance of the political acrobats and tumblers. Before the Grauge cele bration began the key-hole reporter of the Br.E noticed that the speak ers' stand had been taken possession of by the leading "Ko-op3." Gen. Strickland paced up and down like a proud African Hon, Imagining himself "the king of the forest," "the hero of the hour." Occasion ally he would stop, strike an impo ing attitude, run his hand through hisbalr, survey the assemblage with . a haughty and contemplative eye, no doubt thinking himself the "observed of all observers," and in dulging in the thought, "th Is the way that Stephen A. Douglas got into Congress, and this is the man ner in which I shall have glory." Occasionally he would sandwich these little promenades and attitudes With a surprise party of cold water from the invited speakers' pitcher, thus hoping to cause them to dry up and give him a chance to be called out to do some spouting. It was amusing, to say the leaat. Pratt likewise paced the platform with .ne band in hs goat tail pocket, holding that "pome," and the other stroking his raajestio beard, which, more than auy thing else, would con vey the impression that he was another "lion of the hour." Air-castle Johns. on "loomed up" on the platform, as also occasionally did px;Goyprqor Hascall, Judge Dudey, anfj WrigbtVandfothprs. The Itoen Grangers, however, pen etrated the designs of the "Ko-ops," held a short consultation, and then had it announced from tho stand that they wished it "to be distinctly undcrstqod that this was to be an exclusively Granger selebratlqn." The aiinounpemcnt fell like a bombshell 'among the "Ko-ops," and the explosion caused a general scattering of them. Strickland slipped quietly away and took a drliilt at tho pump. He was com pletely dumbfounded, and tho re mainder of the day he kept shady. Dudley and Johnson squatted be neath a distant grape vine to con sojo enph other. Pratt took his "pome" and put it Into tho Inside pocket of his vest, so that ho would not lose It, and Walters followed Gen. Strickland to the pump to soak his head. "GeqeraU' sajd hp, '.'Jiow are the mighty fajjpn. You said n your Omaha speech repcatedlyt that we should all have glory; but the ques tion now is, how the d 1 aro we going to get it? This is the day on which we were all to have loomed up liKeun-flowers, but the Grangers have wilted us like the morning glory beneath the burning sun." "Q!l, glve us a, rest,'' said Strick land, "wo may catch thorn yet." "Well," replied Walters," 1 am afraid that the stuffing has been knocked out of our scheme. But, although we have been badly bruNed, wp are still in the ring." The cruple then pre-empted a sand-hill, and seated themselves, like any other invited guests. The remainder of tho HKo-op" outfit dispersed likewise, all being very much discomfited. TI(E GRANGER CELEBRATICN finally legan, Mr. H. N. Goff, the president, calling the assemblage to order. After some refreshing music by the band, John Rush eloquently read the Declaiatjorfof Independ ence. Mr. John N. Crawford de livered a lengthy oration, which as a literary effort was very creditable, but owing to the weakness of his voice, it was appreciated only by the few who had the pleasure of be ing near enough to hear him. Major J. W. Davis followed with a speech of considerable length, which became rather monotonous, especially as It was entirely of a po litical character, . This concluded the exercises, and the "Ko ops" were not given the slightest opportunity to earn thfir p.ojjianjpio into execution". DANCING AND OTHER AMUSEMENTS began about 2 o'clock, after the pic nipkers had paid their compliments to the lunPh baskets., and tho va rious refreshment stands, A gen eral good time was had by the dan oere, as the muio was excellent, and the platform nuffiejentjy large to accommodate all who wished to dance. Other amuaments were numer ous and were heartily enjoyed by all. Delightful promenades were indulged In ; the swings were kept in constant motion; and flirtation tete a teiri beneath the spreading shade trees had an Irresistible at traction for many. The river af- "uded an opportunity for bathing Tudge Porter, especial- fflfP-i having come well provided with fishing tackle or all who wished to cast allnel - The Grangers made every effort to entertain their guests in a hand some and hospitable manner, aud tbey certainly4jpucceeded. FURTHER CONCERNING THE KO-OPS. The "Ko-ops,y after having been outwitted, made up" their minds to amuse themselves as best they could. Some took advantage of the occa sion to make the acquaintance of many of the Grangers. General Strickland was introduced to one Granger, who complimented him very highly on his celebrated 'glory' speech. Chaplain Balcombe's prayer was praised by another. Hascall was asked what kind of a squash he was; while Pratt was hauled over tne coals for being a Grand Island and Niobrara railroad monop olist ; and Dudley and Johnson, as grand national officers of tho "Ko ops," were introduced considerably, if not more so, but they alRfelt so dowC in the mouth, that it could be "-a plainly seen that they were far from being at ease. -v The Bee reporter, in conversation with several prominent Grangers, learned thut -the "Ko-ops" hadno more to do with that excursion train than the Grangers had, as the Union Pacific had put it on, and charged so much per head. This knocks the underp aning from the "Ko-ops'-'L, statement that they had exclusive control of the train. The "Ko-ops" had been invited only as other guests, and not to take auy leading, part in the exercises. Tiie leaders of these "Protectors of Industry" were regarded with suspicion by the' Grangers generally, who have got their eyes open, and aro not to be , hoodwinked. Tho only conclusion to be arrived at is that the "Ko-ops" have seen their best days, and that the "Fourth of July" collapse of their air-castle balloon will wind up their career. 1'CGILISTIC. During the afternoon too much beer Mas the menus of raisiog sev eral fights, which caused considera ble excitement as well as amuse ment The first fight occurred at a beer stend between some city boys, who are known as hard cases, and a broad-shouldered Granger. A dis pute arose between them over some trivial matter, when he applied to one of them an opprobrious epithet. One city boy grabbed up a beer glass and hit him on the upper lip, while another struck him on the back of the head with a slung shot. This light wus the cause of several other lows between the "towules" and the Granger aud his friends, and Dave Lurley, deputy sheriff, and Constable Kelly, were kept busy all the afternoon in trying to quell dis turbances. The same 'Granger pitched into a fellow on the dancing platform and knocked him from the center to the edge, ornamenting him with a moot beautiful head. But as this was Granger vs. Granger, the "townies" did -ot intermeddle much. A lvely engagement took place between a couple of men among a lot of grape vines, and the crowd gathered around them so quickly, and pushed this way and tbat, so that everybody got tangled up in the vines, and a general fight en sued for a few minutes. An old man named Brit ton, liv ing near the grove, was knocked dowq by n jmyi from Sarpy county, whoso name we could not learn, and falling on a sharp stump cut his head terribly. He was taken Into the bushes and there had his head packed in ice. The map .yo knock ed him flown was arrpsted by one of the marshals of the day, who brought him before a justice of the peace. This officer placed his bail at $1,000 to appear before the Dis trict Court. The man then walked off' withoat giving the required bail. A young man was sitting under a tree talking to a girl, when another fellow came up, club' in hand, and asking him "'"Why the h I he was talking to his girl;" knocked him over and took possession of the lady. We could go on and give accounts of several similar affairs, but they all were not of much importance as compared to the GRAND PITCHED RATTLE between the "townies1 and the "granger boys," which had been brewing all afternoon from the first light, and whioh terminated at the conclusion of tho picnic. An at tempt was made to get up a single handed fight between a "townie" and a "granger," but tills only re sulted in separating the two ele ments, about fif'y on a side, and suddenly the Grangers rallied, aud pushing hither and thither, they raised the war-cry of "go for them!'-' and suiting the action to the word, they raised their war-clubs, with whicli they had previously armed themselves, and pitched into the city roosters. The "townies" beiug outnum bered gave way, and were driven out of the woods by the "Grangers." The "townies1 on the retreat, also grabbed up clubs, rails and boards, and while the ruuning fight continued several boys on both sides were knocked down. The "town ies," upon reaching the open bot toms, made a stand, and then the fun began in earnest. The air was alive with clubs, stones and missiles of all kind., which occasionally keeled a fellow over. Several side fights wei e also In progress, and the prospect was that somebody would, get killed if the buttle continued, when one of the Omaha boys pulled out a revolver and fired two shots into the grass. This settled the row, as the "Grangers" didn't want any bullets "in theirs'," and, not know ing bow many more might follow, they retreated. They wpre at home with clubs, but not with revolvers. The conduct of some of the Omaha boys was disgraceful. There was a mob of about half a dozen, who seemed to roako it their espec- ial business to raise disturbances, get into fights, and smash heads with beer glasses. Had tne Grang ers threshed every ono of this par ticular mob, it would have taught them a deserved lesson. However, as we understand it, the Omaha boys were not wholly to blame for the last grand wind-up. the home run. The train started on the home run at 7 o'clock, arriving at Omaha at a quarter to eleven, the engine having given out two or three times, and finally the train laid at Gil more till another engine was sent for from Omaha to take it in. Everybody was completely tired out, but the general feeling among the excursionists, with the excep tion of the "Ko-ops," who seemed -ather down-hearted over the failure of their pet scheme, was that a splendid time was had, and that the Grangers had most hospitably entertained their guests. In con clusion, we can safely say that the Granger celebration was a success, and those who didn't go missal a good thing. POLICE COURT. nourishing Business of the Fourth. The Police Court did a lively business on the Fourth. Wm. Taylor, a suspicious stranger, was fined 3 and costs on a venture, anu ordered to leave. Mrs. Florence for being intoxicated was sobered off by a fine of S3 and costs. ratrick Kelley became to exuber ant on corn juice, and was quieted by a fine of $2. Thomas Barrett was fined So and costs for carrying concealed weap ons. Peter Moline, for disturbing the peace, was discharged on the pay ment of costs. Lizzie Vickcry was fined $1 and costs for disturbing of the peace. Alfred Hartrey, for disturbing the peace was fined SI and costs. Yesterday Mary Ann Tate, for dis turbing the pace, was discharged on promise ot a hasty exodus from pur midst. John Meyers, Pat McKerney and James H. King were arrested for being drunk, but inasmuch as it was a harmless fourth of July tear, they were discharged. CHEAP FOR CASH. The maxim of a cash system, is as apparent to the public at large, as to the economist. Therefore, we earnestly advise all to take advan tage of the opportunity now offered them, by calling at P. H. Allen's Crelghton's Block, third door south of the Postofflce Lailding and ex amine his stock of groocrjes, which consists of the choicest assortment in the city, making yourself familiar with his prices, thereby convincing yourself that he is capable of afford ing entire satisfaction to all, and that in patronizing him, you will save money.
