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.

and took up his quarters at the
Mtllard. William is on his way to
Furi. R mdall for the purpoio of se
curing the services of Sitting Hull as a
member of his troupe during the com
ing seanon. This , of course , will be
the greatest attraction ever
put on the road , exceeding
if possible , the excitement created by
Buffalo Bill's firit appearance on tlai
mimic stage. Sedentary Taurus aa a
h'ar raiser in hiuoric.il. His poworo
uf "drawing" are peculiar , and belong
to no particular school known to the
theatrical world. Of course his rule
will incline to the heavy villain part ,
sauced with all the ferocity of the real
Forrestian tragedy. Wo predict for
this now theatrical star a brilliant suc
cess.
Buffalo Bill has engaged for hia
regular trip .in entirely now corps of
irtists. None cf the last year's com
pany will appear with him , except
Julo Keene , the irrepressible dialect
samodiun. Old Omnipresent Ogden ,

The play for the season is an en-

A BLOODY SCENE.
An Insane Man Tries to Butt Hia
Brains Ont in His Dell.
Horrible Gaping Wounda and
Streams uf Gore.
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.
