Those who witnessed the itnpoainc ceremonies with which the remains of Walter Lowry were jester day honored by his comrades of the Sre depart ment , were doubtless carried back in thought to the jci.nea of two years ago , nh'ich succeeded the calamity ' | Q the Grand Central.

For an hour previous to the .time set for the services at Creighton Hall , where the body lay in state from 8 o'clock yesterday morning , the people were mHnm lon the sidewalks for a block on either side , while the hall itself wta packed to its utmost stand ing capacity.

Chief Engineer Lacy and lereral members of the Council Bluffs de partment were over , but arrived too Lue to participate in the Ceremonies. The invitation to their depa-tment unfortunately did not reach them un til 11 o'clock to day , or a goodly num ber would have come over. It is seldom that such a crowd is seen in our city as that which yeater- d ty lined thu sidewalks and clustered beneath shads and rhade trees along the line of march ot nuigod through the depot like a htiuian sea. It nhowod the appreciation in which our citizens hold the firemen. As the result of Mr. Lowrey'a thoughtfuluess and thrift he had placed note * and warnmU to the amount of $1200 for keeping with Captain Marsh , and some $200 in the ban * besides hi * farm at Fnirbury. The property will doubtleis go to his mother and sister. Those who know Walter Lowry beat bear witness to the excellence of his character.

AN ATTACHMENT. A Chicago Firm Closes an Oma ha Jewelt-r's doora. C - > n lderable of a sensation was camtd Sa urdaby the ann uncement th-it the jewelry firm of Wbuple & McMillan had been closed up , and our reporter , in order to get the trap ttfio of affairs , called upon Mr. W. E McMillan , who , in the .bsence of M . Whi | pie , had chat ge of the estab- lid-iment. F oin him we learned that the house of Giles & Bros. , wholesale a-d retail jewellers , of Chicago , had procured an order of Httaohment , thr-ugh H. D. E'ab'Ooktheir attorney , and that at 9 "o'clock Friday the aher- iiT ook posseiiion of the stock by virtue of the * rit. The affidavit was filed with the clerk of the district court , and alleges , we understand , an intention on the part of the firm to dispose of their prooerty and defraud their creditors. The fact is said to be that the debt is only $750 , and is a balauce on account with the firm. This amount Mr. Whipple had gone to Chicago to settle , and the action of the creditors was a surprise to Mr. McMillan. While the latter is in cluded by name in the writ , he states positively that he was not a member of the firm , and that while a partnership had been agreed upon for a future time , it was not to be con summated until the liabilities of the firm of Whipple & Co. were settled. It'is claimed that the indebtedness of the old house does not exceed $1,100 in addition to the balance due Giles , and tht the stock will invoice from $3,500 to $4,000. Also , that thorn ia due the firm in town 81,200 to $1,800 , on good parties. Mr. McMillan objects to being treated in this manner decidedly , on the ground that he is only holding a salaried position , and does not wish to be closed up before he opens out in business. He expects Mr. Whipple home soon , when he thinks things will be satisfactorily settled. Y. M. O. A. Library. The object of the Young Men's Christian Association , if wo rightly understand it , .ia the spritn.il , merltal and social improvement of young men , and to advance add accomplish this various means are used , and the one to which pur attention is now par ticularly drawn is the proposed estab lishtnent of a library one that the association and its friends may feel proud of. Not long since Col. WationB. Smith donated to the association a very ex- .celleut book case , which will hold about one thounand volumes , and at onca the contribution of books com menced to the library , and above'what have already been received , many have been promised. Prof. Anderson , in the land departmant of tha B. & M. railroad , gave the asiocia- tt in the loan of 100 volues as a inference library , one thit will be found mjst useful in the study of sa cred history , and to him they are g-ea.ly indebted. The library will be for the free uae of members of the atsomation , and those ho are desirous of investigat ing or ranking any researches , and y -uugmen who come to the city stran gers , can find it a pleasant and profit able place to call.

" " DAVTTTS DELAY. , The Organization of the National , and Industrial League of America. . Omaha and Other Western Cities to be Worked Up , "No Best Till the People Get Their Own , A meeting was held Friday night at the Creighton House by a committee cdnsisting o ! jf ichael Donovan , Hon. 0. V. Gallagher , John Groves , The * . Tallon.'M. J. MsMahon , Jas. Boiln , Richard O'Keiff , Pat Ford , and Thos. Kennedy , to take action upon a recent letter and proportion received from Michael Davitt , the famous Irish na tionalist. Mr. Davitt hai resolved upon mbking an organization tour in the western states , including Califor nia' before returning to Ireland and has signified his intention to stop over In Omaha en route , if he can be of any service to the cause which he repre sents. It * as decided by the commit tee to write him that he would be wel come here and that a reception would be given in his honor during his visit to this city. Mr. Davitt came over with Parnell and Dillon and Is working in the interests of the Land Leaguerot which ho fs one of the originators and of which Pnrnell is the present head. The Land League movement , to use Mr. Davitt's own words , is but a tempo-ary one , which has been called into existence to save Ireland , during an alarming crisis , from the horrors of ' 47 and ' 48 , and to put an end to periodic famine and perpetual poverty by securing the ownership and unrestr > cted cultivation of the soil for the people. It was not intended and does not purpose to be placed in opi.o- . ition to those movements which aim at achieving either national independ ence on the one hand and what is known as Home Rule on the other , its object being the advancement of the interests of the people at home and the lifting of the fatherland from the mire of social serfdom. An appeal is mdo to non-political societies and to all who sympathize with the movement to support the work and show that it is a truth and not a boatt that neither distance nor time can change the devotion of the I.ish heart to the land of its birth. On the'lOth of May last the National Land and Industrial League of America was founded. Owing to various causes , chiefly the short upsce of timu which has elapsed since it * foundation , the work actually accom- plifhed has been small and it is for the organization of this branch of the League that Mr. Davitt's trip trett Is made. It's work will bo the collection of the fund for the did of the Land League in i's ' work of protecting lives , dutending prisoners arrested for re- aittanca te procea * serving , sustain their families , clothe and educate their children , teed their land , etc. Mr. Uavtt will no doubt be en thusiastically received in Omaha where the strong sympathy with the cause has already been expressed in a practical way.
