Speeclif , Manic , Dnnclnc and Goo ( Time Gonornlly. Yesterday ono of the grandest pic nica that has been held In Omaha foi Botno titno past was thnt gotten up bj the St. Oeorgo'e aocioty at Uascorr park. Shortly uftor the hour fixed foi the commencement n largo and fash' ' ionnblo conoourao of people asaomblcd in the park , and as the day grew oldoi the crowd incrcaaod , and probablj reached over eight hundred persons , The mem bora of the aocioty pre aontod a very elegant appearance , nnc each ono were a hnndsoi.no badge or hia breast. All the arrangements had been made with great cnro , and noth < ing occurred to mar the complotonoa ! of the proceedings in the slignteat degree - greo Among thoao present wo noticed - ticod someof our oldeat and moat prominent citizens. Wo rnfrain from giving any names , for the list , if at all complete , would bo very lengthy. The exorcises commenced with a truly patriotic rendition of that plo- rious old anthum "Ilulo Britania , " after -which the preaidotit , Mr. W. II. Oarloton , delivered a very fine oration tion , which waa listened to with marked attention. "Gome Whcro the Lilies Bloom , " by the Misses Stev ens , Mr. W. Stovona and Mr. Tremaino , waa next on the pro gramme , which was excellently exe cuted. Messrs. Johnson , Lanyon , T. Bonnor and Taylor then made eomo speeches of five minutes' duration , which proved to bo very entertaining. Mr. Ed. J. Hadrill sang "Tho Guard Saip" excellently , and ho waa loudly applauded. Some inoro spoeohos by Messrs , Rothwcll , J. Bonnor , Dove and Live- soy wore then given , and Mrs. Parker - kor treated the audience to a beauti ful song. Great interest was evinced in. the exhaustive osaay , delivorcct Jin clear tones and in a very Impressive manner , by Mrs. Jane Latoy. Frank Stockdalo's recitation re ceived great commendation , and the song by W. O. Sanders creator ! grrat enthusiasm among the auditors and ho was vociferously recalled. That popular speaker , Mr. W. J. Broadbent then stepped forward and delivered nil amusing and ofi'ectiyo speech occupying fifteen minutes in delivery. The live minute speeches of Mesara. Ballingor , Midgoley and Powell dcscrvo a word of praise , and "Two Merry Girls , " by thoao charm ing vocalists , Etta Bonner and Nellie Stevens was everything that ono could wish. wish.Tho The 'solo and chorus entitled "Cousin Jodediah , " was a success , as waa also the recitation by Mr. Shop- hard. Mr. Taylor's vocal effort and Mra. Eayro's reading wore both good. Miss Wolf made a decided hit with her roscitation , and the well-known duett , "Larbord Watch , " by Mr Stevens and Mrs. Barnacle , received many ocomiums. A few more short addresses' by Messrs. Hadrill , Gar diner , Layter and Lonnsburry wore then made , and "God Save the Queen , " and the "Star Spangled Ban ner" by the baud and guests con cluded this very enjoyable part of the programme. After a short interval the picnickers disposed themselves in various parts of the grounds , where they refreshed the inner man ( and woman ) . Having satisfied their hunger , which had been stimulated by the open air exorcises , they ocatterod in various direct'ona , where they spent the remainder of the day in such innocent games as cricket , croquet , lawn tennis , grace- hoop , swinging , foot racing , etc. Many of the visitors , however , preferred dancing , for which ample provision had been * made. Irvine's famous or chestra supplied Eomo soul-inspiring music at different intervals which en livened the festivities. Judging from the faces of both old and young , wo can safely conclude that the entertain ment was a brilliant succces and every body present had a glorious time. THK BEE wishes the St. George's society ovety success. BII/L AND Buffalo Wllllfttn Seokoth Ye Company of Slump Bull. Hon. William F.

The Dogpornte Resolve of n Man Who Thought HoVnito Bo Hun u- The encounter between Mr. John Bell and the suppoaed burglar , at the residence of the former , on Park Wilde avenue , waa detailed yester day. After Ha incarceration In the county jail it waa discovered that the man was really inaano ; that ho came from Chicago on Sunday and boarded at Kuccrn's hoto ) , on Thirteenth street , where he was known as Anton Liska. From the first he showed signs of insanity , and then Kucern kept him up stairs during the nighf until 3 o'clock , when Liska managed to es cape and jump over a ton foot fence nd into the crook , going over to Boll's 10UBO. Monday Liaka continued to show evidences of being a "crank , " say- ng all the time that oomo ono was 'allowing him and that ho was going to bo hung. Ho declared ho could see them building the scaffold through the bars of hia window. Ho slept aomo in hia cell Monday but Tuesday morning waa no batter. The jailer , Mr. Joe Miller , came down town about 8 o'clock to file a complaint againat the man to bring before the board of insane commissioners , and at that time ho seemed a little moro ra tional and asked to have some tobac co brought to him. Miller concluded not to file the complaint until ho could learn if the man's condition waa the result of liquor. Soon after ho loft , ono of the pris oners who was in the hall heard a heavy thumping in the direction of Liska'a cell , and went 10 see what was up. As he approached .th door he saw Lieka running toward it from the far corner of his coll. The insane man had evidently concluded that ra'hcr than hunp , as hia hallucination had convinced him ho might do , ho would butt his brains out against the prison walls. Ha had his head lower ed and as the witness ncared the door jammed the top of the skull against the sharp iron corner of the door post. Ho then returned , and repeated the operation again and again Once ho passed his hand ever the top of his head and swept off a torrent of blood upon the floor and soon after , with another terrible - riblo jam fell back stunned , but not wholly insensible , for ho continued to beat his head against the cruel iron by using the muscles of his neck , The prisoner who witnessed the bloody scene telephoned down to the court house , and anon Jailor Mi'lor ' , Deputy Sheriff 0'rowoll andJDr. Chad- wick appeared on the scene the cell door WPS throw : open niid the man picked up and transferred to another cell , his own being covered with bloou. Here ho was laid out on an iron cot , and for fear of a renewal of his paroxysms , was manacled and shackled down while his wounds wore exam' ' ined. They were found to consist oi six great gushes , which extended from the forehead to the crown , and looked as If they had been deliberately carved with a butcher knife. It was impossible to sow them up , as they would , the doctor said , immediately pull apart. When the patient rallied ho talked more sensibly than ho had done since his arrest , and said hia wounda did not hurt him. Dr. Chadwick said ho would recover if the inlLimmatiou and erysipelas could bo kept off , but it is a bad month for such wounds. Liska asked how many had been killed in there , and said ho could stand as much as anybody , and if ho gets well his word will certainly bo made good. He is quite a young man and very halo and powerful. Ho wus resting tolerably well when THE BEE reporter left , but Jailor Miller thouuht it would bo a g.cat advantage if ho could bo moved > o a better place , and that his chances for recovery would bo greatly increased.
