LADIEH AND GENTLEMEN : Wo have

mooting to pay n tribute cf respect to
his memory and to renew nnd reaf
firm their alleglancn and devotion to
the country and the cauao for which
ho lived and died.
The society under whoso auspices

bolug firm believers In the principles
advocated by Kaimot , bcliovo in keep
ing preen the memory of the men whc
lay down their lives for Ireland , and
would doom themselves unworthy the
name they bear did they allow this oc
casion to pass without calling their
country people together that they
might join in paying their tribute ol
respect to the memory of our mar
tyred horo.
Ladies and gentlemen , the sphere
of my duty admits of bat a brief reference -
eronco to this illustrious man. The
able orators who will follow .will do
ample justice to a character worthy
the best , efforts of the greatest minds.

condition of Ireland and the career

This is a specimen of the line o
thought :
JUDGE GANNON'S ADDRESS.
To-night , my friends , we celobrat
the birthday anniversary of ono of thi
most gloriously remarkable men in al
history. Other men there were whos
love of country blazes on the pages o
the put , whoso acts of putrlotlsm and
devotion have come down to us in the
pages of the histcrion and the songs
of the bards of their countries. Some
were shining conspicuous for valor
some for reckless enthusiasm , man'
for the fortitude with which they bore
extraordinary privations , others fo
porsovoronco with which , despite al
most unconquerable odds , they kop
alive and glowing the embers of thel
country's hopo. Whether wo rogan
the dreadful state of on
country , prostrate in th
gloom of universal defeat , with miser ;
at homo and apathy abroad , the smok
ing roof tree , and the dripping gib
bet or the position and social standing
of the man , we are struck with ad
miration at the self-sacrifice whlol
dictated the genius which planned
the love of his country which Impelled
od , the soldierly qualities which ani
mated the marvollousorganlzitionam
brave attempt of the patriot par excel
louco of the nineteenth century , llobor
Emmot.
Ah , my friends , there are a groa
many very sympathetic and very wia
people whoso eyes moisten at the con
tamplation of his fate , but who
CAST A STAIN UrON 1IIH MEMORY

his memory from such an imputation
and to do so , will , with your pormls
sion turn back 4 tow loaves of history
Wo know the appalling condition o
Ireland previous to the porlod of th
American revolution , beutun to th

crushed
FOR WANT OK UNITY
and the government turned to the
congenial task i f nuudnrlug all who
dared to lift baud or volco for the pop.
ilo. They returuo'l to the work oven
low with a zest which shows what
consuming thirst Jnhn Ball has for
enbjecb peoples. The union was car
ried , the statesmanship of Pitt and
Dastleroagh vindicated with not
thongth , except a joyous ono of the
country they had ruined and dovas
: ated , the thousands they had banish
id , nnd the noble souls which their
"unhallowed policy" had drlvon to
the ocaifold.
The Inspirations of hope with which
the sacsots of the American colonists
bad filled the Irjah. people were dashed
by the events in Franco. Ireland had
sent her hundreds of thousands to
swell the exploits of the French army
In the past.
IN FAR FORBID N FIELDS ,
from Dunkirk to Belgrade , the lilies
of Franca were preserved by the Irish
brigades. Stricken Ireland sought
aid from Franco , and it waa forthcom
ing. A French fleet landed at Kll-
lalla , and the Engliah soldiers ran
away from the soldiers of the republic.
The event is still known as the "Races
of Oastlebar.lr The people were not
there , for they believed in the Divine
order God first , country next , family
afterwards Who were the new allies !
Frenchmen who made the streets of
France run with the blood of her best ,
and purest , and bravest ; Frenchmen
who pulled down the altar and throne
and
MASSACRED THE OLEROY
In the sanctuary , and put the arch
bishop of Paris to death without crime.
What was more harrasaing to the Irish
fellings , the French set np a public
prostitute in Notre Dime , and wor
shiped her as the divinity of reason.
Robert Emmet bout his energies to
remedy the faults of previous at
tempts. He threw his whole soul into
the movement , undeterred by obsta
cles , and undertook the plan of organ
ization.
The orator expatiated on the plans
of orgaiizitlonand attack with consid
erable vividness and plotnreequenes ,
and continued :
Wo have an Emmet Monument as
sociation in Omaha , and kindred sool-
ties olsowhern. Shall we write Em-
met'a epitaph ? When and by what
measures ?
0 , Erin , ohall it e'ro be mine .
To right thy wrongs In battle line ?
To lift my victor bead and too
Thy hills , thy dales , thy valleys free ?
'Twere all tbe favor I would crave
Betwixt my cradle and the grave.
The speaker was frequently , enthu
siastically and vehemently applauded
during his brilliant oration.
Moore's charming song , "She Is
Far From the L nd , " was admirably
rendered by the Enimot quartette ,
Comprising Joseph McOnfTroy , John
H. Feoney , Maj J. Mott McMahon
and W. A. Wough.
Miss Stacia Orowloy , the bright and
gifted poetess of Omaha , recited in
an admirable manner an original poem
of some 1GO lines on "Robert Em-
mot. " It abounded in poetic
and patriotic sentiments charmingly
expressed. She was frequently in
terrupted by the plaudits of the au
dience , and on retiring was recalled
and made the recipient of a magnifi
cent boquot ; which she gracefully ac-
knowlodgod. If convenient ; , her poem
will be published , perhaps in Satur
day's paper.
Miss Katie Murphy , who Is ono of
the most accomplished nou-profes-
slonal planlstes In the west , charm
ingly rendered Gottschalk's "Medita
tion , " and was generously applauded ,
A scone from the play of "Robert

and would , have given moro satisfac

fairly received.
Miss Mary MoNamara song "Walt-

A MYSTERY.
An Old Oitizon of Omaha Sud
denly Disappears ,
Foul Play Feared by Hia
Family.
On the 20th of February last Mr.
Pater Martin , a well-known citizen of
South Omaha , who has boon in this
city over since 1869 , and Is a man
about CO' years of ago , left his homo
for Council Blnffc. Ho wont on horse
back , and his Intention was to proceed
from there to Soldier Valley , forty or
fty miles north of the Blnfls , and buy
omo cattle , desiring to bring them
omo before the ice on the river
ihoald break up. For thin purpose ho
; ook about $100 In money with him.
Since that tlmo not ono word has
con heard from him by his friends.
Hie horse waa returned after a week
had elapsed , by the owner of thoBluo ;
Barn in Oouncil Bluff * where ho had
iut up. No explanation was given by
ho party who brought the animal
) vor and who demanded and received
ay for hla keeping.
Martin's folks snapectod nothing
wrong and made no Inquiry until.San-
day , when his son-in-law , Mr. Thou.
Hayo , wont over to the BlufTi to make
inqurioa at iho Blue Barn as to what
had beoomo of the old man. Ho was
riformod by the police that the stable
n question was In a rather dangerous
neighborhood , and going there conld
obtain but little eatisfnotory Informs-
ion. The foreman of the etablo who had
received the horao from Mr. Martin ,
stated that hu had afterward , upon in
vitation , gene to a Bttloou near by and
taken a friendly glass of buor with his
customer , who told him that ho in
tended to return in a few days , but *
that if ho did not crrivo at the expira
tion of four days be should send the
horse aver homo , at the same time
giving Aim his street and number.
This statement is strongly doubted
by the relatives of Mr. Martin , as it
ntiroly foreign to his plans when
fffhomo , his Intention being to
ride to the place where he expected to
purchase his cattle.
The inevitable conclusion is , there
fore , that ho has been the victim of
foul play , and this supposition Is
stronger from the fact of hit having
had the sum of money stated on hla
person when ho loft homo.
There Is no other known theory
which could account for hia absence.
Ho has always been engaged in buy
ing cattle and hog , and had accumu
lated eomo properly at. that business.
Ho loaves a wife and the family of hla
eon-ln-law , Mr. Hays , who live close
together.
The Council Bluffs police should by
all moans hunt this matter np and not
lot a stone rest unturned to ascertain
where the missing man ban gone to.
Ho was comparatively helpless from
his ago and had ho been attacked by
ruffians , who got a glimpse o ) his roll
of bills , ho would have boon powerless
to offer resistance.- More news of the
case will be awaited by friends here
with great anxiety.

A RICH STRIKE ,
Discovery of a ff oil ot Oruflo Pe
troleum in Nebraska Soil ,
A. Fabulous Price Already Of
fered for tbe Bonaza.
A well-known gentleman of thlt
city yesterday loft TUG BEE office
a bottle of crude petroleum with the
information that it was from a well
annk for water only In Nebraska neil
This oil la from the hotel well of A
and J. Billings , Salem , Richardson
ounty , Nebraska.
About a month ago the water of
hla well commenced to git dirty , so
much so that It conld not ba natd for
omestic purposes. Thinking that
omo evil dlapoaoJ persona wore pur-
oaoly spoiling the water , the Messrs
Billings had the well pumped dry ant
ileanod oat ; but the next day it was as
lily as over. The water of the well is
omo ton feet deep , and there is a
ayer of this oil over a foot thick on
op of it. The Messrs. Billings have
ilroady boon offered a fabulous price
'or their property , but as they believe
'thoro ' is millions in it , " they will
.old on until it is developed.
They nro now drilling a nix-inch
hole a few feet from iho well , and will
go several hundred feet prospecting
The people of Salem are nil jubi-
ant and property has advanced 2 * per
; ont aincu this oil was discovered.
Them are many goijd indications of
coal In this vicinity , and the prospect
ng for oil will nnroly develop coal , if
t does not oil. Tnoro his already
been a number of oil miners , who
have examined the well and oil , aud
without exception pronounce it not
inly genuine crude oil , bat a very
uperlor article , there being but few
wells in Pennsylvania that are purer.

Wo had the pleasure of entertain

of Omaha's young people ashore time
since. We enjoyed their company
and will bo glad to BOO them ogaln.
Such snrprltea are enlivening.
Old Mrs. Palmer , familiarly kuown
aa "Grandma" in the neighborhood ,
died Sunday morning the 18 h. She
wan nick only a few days , with no par
ticular disoats save old age. Grand
ma had been a frequent visitor at the
Institute , and we shall miss her slow
and measured tread and her little bo-
quota which she generally bought
with her for distribution. She had
reached a ripe old acre , full of Christian
words and deeds , and was ready and
anxious to go home , where her hus
band and daughters have long waited
for her on the otBor' shore.
A few days ago a cavalry company
from.Fort Omaha , out drilling their
horses , gave us a friendly calK They
kindly accepted an invitation from Mr.
Rlaynard to glvo a sword drill on the
front grounds , for the .pleasure ol

being recess time , the fif ceeu mluntt-B
were passed very pleasantly. . The
company was heartily cheered a thuy
