The entertainment opened with
a brilliant overture by the

pieces entitled : "Tho Song of the Gor
man in a Foreign Land , " sang by the
choir made up of the four loading singing
societies of Omaha , namely , the Coucor-
dla , the Mnonnorchoo , the Turner quartette -
tetto club and the Swiss choral society.
The cfTect produced was very fine and
thoywcre vociferously applauded. Mr.

pleasing manner and thp Concordla so
ciety led by Prof. Harding treated the
audience to a beautiful selection by Beet

THE CONVENING OF COURT.
Several Decisions of Importance Ren
dered by the Bench ,
Tlio Grnnil .lnry Empanelled , Sworn ,
nml Inairuoloil by Judge
Neville.
District court for the Juno term convened
vonod yesterday morning with both
judges on the bench. The court imme
diately after Ita assembling proceeded to
render several decisions upon cases ar-
Tiled and submitted at the last term ,
notable among which wore the canes of
[ lichard.s ngainst McClure , and Parker
against Kuhn , the amount in contro
varsoy in those two cases approximating a
juartor of a million dollars. As the ovl-
donee in those two cases wont back into
, lie early times of Douglas county.
> ricf history of thorn will doubtless bo
interesting.
In the suit of lUchards against McClure
n creditor's bill was filed to sot aside certain
tain conveyances made by McClure to his
wifo. The property was purchased by
defendant in 1805 in his own namo. The
money which paid for the property came
frrm his wife's estate , and the convey
ances wcro made to place the title iti his
wife , whoso money paid for the properly
and upon which they have resided from
that time to the present M n homestead.
The court by its decree sots side these
conveyances to McCluro's wife aa fraudu
lent as against the creditors , but sustains
the homestead claim , the law at the time
this indebtedness was contracted being
unlimited in amount. The dofondont
will appeal to the nupromo court , 'ho
property in controversy in this cnso is 44
foot of real estate on Hartley street between -
twoon llth and 12th streets , and is
vasuod at $15.000. Tha amount of the
creditor's bill Is $2,200.
In the case of Parker against Kuhn , it
appeared that in 1857 thp Florence Land
: ompany , n corporation in which James
U. Parker , then a banker at Florence ,
was a stockholder , chartered by the tori-
orial legislature to speculate in land ,
mtorod several thousand acres about
b'loroncc. This Florence land company
was similar to the ono known at that time
as the Nebraska Land and Ferry com
pany which claimed to own the town site
jf Omaha and the lands around it. In
1857 Jonn M. Kuhn loaned the Florence
company between $2,000 and $3,000 as
was evidenced at that time by a noto.
In the same year this company mort
gaged to Oook , Sargent and Parker
nearly all their lands. This mortgage
was foreclosed and the land was bought
In by Parker who hold it In aocrot trust
for various members of the Florence
Land Company who were not parties to
the mortgage and whoso interests no
where appear. Subsequent to the snort
gage Kuhn brought suit on his note , ob
tained judgment and bought about 2,000
acres ; the sale not being confirmed until
1880 , ho supposing tno Parker mort
gage was bona fide and took all the prop
erty.Tho
The present suit was instituted by
Parker to have the Kuhn deed by the
court declared a cloud on hla tltlo and
removed. The defense of Kuhn is thai
the mortgage is fraudulent as to him anc
void , which fraud was not discovoroc
until 1870 and consequently his remedy
is not outlawed. His Honor Judge No
vlllo ruled a prlma facie case of fraud hat
not boon made out and consequently ii
was no defense. The suit will bo ap
pealed to the supreme court. This real
estate in controversy lies just out of the
city limits north of town and comprises
about 2,000 acres , worth at the present
time between $160,000 and $200,000.
After rendering its decisions the docket
up to case No. 201 was called by the
court. Of thcso first 200 cases 54 were
not down for trial , the remainder being
passed to the foot of the calendar or con
tinued.
The court then appointed the Hon.
James W. Savage , G. M. Hitchcock , 0.
S. Montgomery , Isaac E. Cougdon , and
II. D. Eslabrook a committee to examine
applicants for admission to the bar.
The excuses of jurors who wished to bo
dismissed from serving the present term
were then hoard by the court. John D.
Oroighton , S. P. Morse , F. D. Cooper ,
Sam Oottnor , It. E. Livesoy , M. Dun
ham and 0. F. Davis were excused from
the potit. From the grand P. Y. liar-
bough , Joseph Hocknoy and Henry Kor ,

The grand Jury , after having boon

crime in the city , enjoined soerosy upon
the jury , exhorted its members to do
their duty , assuring them ho would do
his. Court then adjourned to this

SixlooiiH on Sunday.
It was announced last week that sovora
of the ministers in this city would proacl
in favor of having the saloons closed on
Sundayandupontholaxityof the city gov
eminent. The mayor at once notified al
ministers that if they would not preach
on the subject ho would cbso the saloons
yesterday and on nil Sundays in the fu
ture. '
The ministers took the mayor at his
word , and refrained from preaching on
subject , but the mayor failed to keep his
part of the contract. The saloons were
running as openly as over Sunday , anc
no notice was given to a single saloon
keeper that ho must close.
GRAND ISLAND'S ' JOT ,
The Completion of the H. fb M. I-
tctiBlou From Ijlncnln to Grnntl
Island.
The Grand Island folks are now exceedingly
coodingly happy because of the completion
tion of the B. & , M. extension from Liu
coin to that place. This gives to Gram
Island four railroads and makes of that
proaporoua audUivoIy little city quite a
railroad center. The B. & M. folks vril
not stop at Grand Island but will push
up into the north-west to aocuro a portion
tion of the immense cattle trade of that
section.
In speaking of the completion the
Grand Island Independent of Saturday
says :
The B. & M. railroad and track and
telegraph line were completed to Grand
Island iaat evening , and the crossing of
the U. 1 . will bo made to day. The depot -
pot is pushed toward completion as rapid
ly as possible , and within a few days
everything will bo in ahapo and trains
will bo running regularly. At the com
pletion of the track to the U. P. track
last evening the B. & M. boys had quite
n jollification n "keg of nail's" being tapped -
pod and a number of boxes of cigars
opened. There is no mistake but what
qulok work has boon made of building the
low line , which included a bridge across
: ho Platte river. It took almost aa long
'or the city council to take action on
.ho ordinance aa it did the
company o complete the road the entire
distance , There has boon no foolishness
about the building of the road , the com-
iany allowing that it meant business
'rom the word go , and the contractors
mailed things for all that was out ; and
vhon ono considers the amount of low
ands they had to go over , the usual
amount of wet weather and extra heavy
; rado in places , wo must give credit for
jroat energy displayed in completing it
as soon as they havo.
An excursion train will bo run from
3 rand Island to Omaha and return next
Saturday , Juno 7 , ever the now load.
The train Trill leave Grand Island at 7 a.
in. , and will atop three hour in Lincoln ,
and about the same time in Omaha , and
will return to Grand Island about mid
night Saturday. Excursion tickets re
turning will bo good on any train until
Monday , and until that time will bo
oed for atop-over at any station on the
lino. There is no doubt but that an im
mense crowd will take advantage of this
opportunity to visit Lincoln and Omaha
via the new lino.

regards those principals who are at
present acting in that capacity , of section
01 of the rules. A motion was made to
adopt the report. The point was raised
by Points that the partial ausponslon of a
rule was out of order. Tno point was
hold good by the chair. An appeal was
taken from the decision , but the chair
was sustained.
A resolution was presented by Con
noyor instructing the president and
secretary to draw a warrant for $5,011.25
for the payment of the semi-annual in
terest on $100,000 bonds hold by the
4th National bank of Now York. This
resolution called out debate upon the
question of license money now hold by
the city treasurer. A motion was made
that the board moot again a week from
next Wednesday evening in the hope
that the city council may render assis
tance to help the board out of ita present
financial ombarrssmont. The resolution
was then laid over until that timo.
A resolution by _ Copeland was intro

license. The merits of this suit were
fully discussed , Spocht finally moving
that a compromise on foes bo made with
these attorneys , and the action in the
court bo dismissed.
Mr. Connoyor said ho was in favor of
the motion , as it did not seem right thai
outsiders could como here and sell liquors
free , when Omaha merchants had to pay
a license of $10 00. Mr. Hall gave it his
opinion that foreign dealers selling liquors
in Nebraska could bo compelled to pay
the statutory amount. The motion was
lost.

The board then adjourned.
DEDICATED TO GOD ,
The South Preshyierian Chnrch
Opel Snnflay for Worship.
I3loiiiioiit Addresses by Several Blln-
Utcm ut that Denomination ,
To the number of Presbyterian
churches in this city another wns added
Sunday , in th < S southern part of our
city , whore there is no other church to
conflict with thowork , yet a largo enough
orntory to make a strong organization.
A good gathering assembled at this
low contro of church work , and a largo
representation of Presbyterian ministers ,
lov , McCandlish , Dr. Haraha and aon ,
ho Revs. Blanoy and Hall , and a Gor-
nan Presbyterian minister , who roprea-
id the German clement of that locality.
The choir of the Southwest Presbyterian -
rian church furnished the musio at the
dedicatory service , which church may
ook with pride , while yet in her infan
cy , at an otfcpring which luus so much
romiso. The first selection by the
choir was exceedingly appropriate and
> oautlfully rendered.
Prayer was offered by Rov. Blanoy ,
thanking God for the manifestation of the
extontion of the church of Christ , and
praying that the Holy Spirit might rest
upon the work in the now field.
Mr. McOandlish spoke of the early
church , when it was confined to the Jew-
all nation , and of iU condition at the
present. It was told to David that a
.omplo would bo built and dedicated to
the worship of Jehovah , which temple
was built by Solomon , and ita beauty and
grandeur oxccodod all other places of wor-
hip on the face of the earth. But the
imo came when Jesus said that neither
n Jerusalem nor on the mountains of
Samaria must wo bo compelled to wor
ship , but in any place wo may call upon
Jed and preach his gospel to frail hu
manity.
Mr. Harsha said , When ho came to this
rtaco of worship ho saw another typo of
civilization from that which ho saw
Doforo him in the church now.
[ n both the family was rep
resented by father , mother and children ,
in both they had an aim , in both they
rccoiyed a reward , and both types were
liaving a great Influence upon these who
In warrious ways became associated with
them. This typo in question was sup
ported by the votaries of pleasure , they
drank their chalices to the god they
worshiped , and * danced in his honor
while these at the church looked not at
the ploasurcs which would cease , not at
the god which was mockery , but to a
pleasure which the king of rightousncss
would grant thorn , and which would last
for over.
' 'Your Idol of pleasure ,
In worshipped In leisure ;
] ! ut wo huvo the tronouro
God gives In great measure. "
Which of thc33 two classes will bo the
successful one ? 'Which will cause the
world to bow to its influence ? Where
there is ono Christian and the Lord
Jesus Christ , there is a majority.
This church may bo small now but in
twenty , forty or fifty years it may bo a
largo ono and a largo edifice , having ita
influence felt in this Immediate vicinity
and indirectly , through various chan
nels , upon the world. No ono need take
the work in charge unless ho has the
spirit of a martyr , but after bearing the
cross for a time ho must expect his re
ward. It may not bo riches or honors ol
this world , but it will bo the honors oftho
world to cnnio ; and , by the influence ol
the Holy Spirit , who manifested himscll
at the baptism of Jesus in the form of _ a
dove , ho may expect his power and his
reward.
The choir then sang "Am 1 a ooldloi
of the cross ? " Rov. W. J. Haraha atatec
that the money for the bulldincr of the
church was raised by those here who
were interested in the work , and by
friends in the east , and that four or five
hundred dollars was yet to bo raised.
A lady , after his morning service
at his church , had kindly promisee
an organ and carpet. A collection was
then taken for the removal of the remain
ing indebtedness. While the collection
was being taken , Mr. Todd sang a select
ion well adapted to inspire Christian zoal.
Mr. Blanoy said that this work was a
commencement which would never end.
A few yoara ago thora was not a passage
way across these plains , but now wo sec
everywhere great centres of influence anc
while wo establish a contro here to-day ,
who can toll what the future will unfold.
Each contro is an idea lined to the chain
of divine truth , having a beginning , bui
no end. Few will pass the day , who aoo
the Saviour here worshiped , without hav
ing his life to a certain extent changed ,
and that change will bo felt through his
lifo and forever.
The hymn , "Just as I am , without ono
plea , " was then sang by the choir anc
congregation.
Mr. Hall , said , among the Adirondack
mountains ho saw a root which had extended
tended its feelers over a rock and founc
moist ground , and that it then fastonoi
its roots and became stronger than i
otherwise would have boon. So tin
church is sending forth little branches
and although it may seem at first a waste
of energy but in , time it will bo seen tha
the church at largo is strengthened. The
church was not content to rest in Joru
Btxlem or in Judca ; it sent forth her mis
aionariea to the ends of the world. "
Wild flowora of the field may die anc
no trace of them bo found , but , the seoc
which the wind has blown covers th
ground with beauty and fragrance. Wo
may not see the fruit of our work , bu
God aoos it and causes it to bring forth a
great reward. The speaker then said , as
the congregation would hoar his voice often
ton ho would afford W , J. Haraha an op
portunity to make some closing remarks.
Mr. W. J. Harsha said , "Tho field chosen
for work was a good ono , and its
future would soon bo an honor to
the churches of which it is an offspring.
"If I am the father of the Southwesl
Mission and church , I must bo the grand
father of this. There has ever boon a
harmonious fooling between the Presby
torian pastors of Omaha and the pastors
of the city , which aids in the promotion
of gospel work , but our church here has
not had the wealth of other places , as
Denver , and Kansas City , and other east
ern cities , but the members have freely
given their support to the greatest poaai-
blo extent : . "
Next Sunday a Sabbath school will bo
organized at 3 p. m. , by Mr. Hall , and
an endeavor will bo made to have preach
ing every Sabbath at 4:15 : p. m.
The choir then sang a selection very
beautifully , which called upon nil to live
in sympathy with God.
The Gorman minister , after speaking in
the German language of the love of God
and our indebtedness to him for his love ,
closed by pronouncing the benediction.

AQIIorrlblo Tragedy Enacted nt Ilctli-
lohcni nt nn Knrly Hour Yesterday
Morning.
The little city of Plattsmouth is all
worked up ever a horrible and bloody
tragedy which was enacted just across the
bridge in the little town of Bethlehem ,
Yesterday morning at an early hour.
Nick Bright a horse-trader , chopped to
pieces the head of a man named Williams ,
a watchman on the B. it M. bridge , and
then shot himsclt through the hoart.
The two men had boon friends for some
time past.and on last Wednesday evening
they were ever in Plattsmouth and were
drinking together. Williams stated that
ho wanted so got some medicine ior
Bright aa ho ( Bright ) waa a little oil' in
the upper atory.
Yesterday Williams wont to Bright'a
room , ifhon ho had been ill , to aoo him.
Immediately upon his entering the room
Bright rushed upon him with a hatchet
and struck him a terrific blow upon the
head , crushing his skull and felling him
to the floor. The ma nine then chopped
his head into an almost iinrecognizablo
mass. After having completed this hell
ish deed , ho procured a revolver
and placing the inuzzlo against
his own breast ho pulled the trigger
and fell to the tloora corpseshot through
the hoart.
A largo crowd soon gathered and a
physician was called to attend to Williams
who was not yot.dcad. His case was pro
nounced hopeless and it would only bo a
question of a few hours , the doctor stated ,
when ho would die.
Bright had long boon looked upon as o
lunatic but ho had never boon regarded
as a dangerous man and had always boon
a warm friend to Williams and would do
pretty much as Williams dictated , and
this sudden chaneo is unaccounted for.
