Impressive Funeral Smices and a LaraiG ParailG at the Capiial , A Oolobrated Oaso Once Moro in the Courts , DAVS ! the KtiRinoor Criminal Items lioanl n cliiR Doailly Assnalt StMto AT THK UAt ITAU TUB on\NI OD3EQU1E3. The Qraat momorlal services at the Capitol gronnds Saturday were impros- alvo , and indicated the patriotism of this community and n love for the memory of the client noldlor. The parade , com posing Lincoln's military and civic or ganisations , 'ruado a nioit creditable ap < poaranco. When tha ozerclsca began there were over five thousand ptoplo on the grounds. After a eduction by the band at d the reading of a not of resolu tions eulogistic of thu dead general , Gov ernor Dawes made on address in which ho commended the nnlvcrail spirit of regret - grot which prevailed , not only In Lincoln but tha United States aud the whole civ- lllzod world. T. M. Marquott , Etq ; , who was to have been the second end bpeakor , was kept away k by tioknf si , and his address was road by Guy A. Brotrn , clerk cf the supreme caurt. It recited Grant's career , stop by step , throughout ) his early life , the civil war , cs president , and finally as a private cltlzon ; there was no bltuulah upon any portion of It. Judge 0. M. Parker said tint oftentimes - times In nor the gonuiala got the credit of victories won by the private soldiers. Grant's record was an exception to this. Ho had dlvldod his victories with his men , and three million soldiers , were they hero to-day , would endoroo the opoakcrr statement. Alias Minnie Parker recited a poem en titled "Grant is Dead. " - The Mocnnerchor and Glee clnba in terspersed the exorcises with beautiful vooil selections. Henry Bruogman than addressed the assomblngo in the German lan guage , nnd it was indeed a masterly dfort. General Vlfoualn next spoke. Future genoiat'onn ' , ho said , stiould bo taught that Grant was the iusttumcnt given this country to lead it to victory over rebellion and dlecnrd. One of the most eloquent addro'scs of the day was made by J. CaldwollE3q. . Ho pictured in vivid langnsgo the marks of respect being obnwn the dead here all over the world. Ho then wont back and A traced the gonortu'd career from the farm to the ommand of the array. Grant filled to fallueas the moasara of n great llfd in a great no. Following Air. Cflldvfoll were Judges Crookor and ls.1 Maaon , both of whom spoke eloquently and appropriately. Hon. Patrick Egan , president of tbo Irish National League , next epoko. "In my case , " said he , "thoro wera none of those links that bound so many of you here , and par ticularly of old companions in ar.BB , to tbo dead horo. Yet from across the broad Atlantic have I , in common with the masses of my follow countrymen , watched during the mighty struggle , with anxiona oyoj and bated breath , every move ho made , every atop he gained on the road to victory. Long before America otrnck for free- dcm from English rule a fooling of deep friendship sprang qp nnd had been specially cultivated by the Illustrious Franklin between the people of Ireland and the popular leaders in America , and during her struggle for independence Ireland rendered to Amprios such aid end onc3nrascinont ; as elicited twice over the special thanks of tno continental congress. In ono of these incsjagos the following niomorablo words occur : Yon hive over been friendly to the rights of mankind , and wo [ ) acknowledge with ploasuso and gratltudo that your nation has produced patriots trhu have nobly distinguished themselves . In the cioso cf Immunity nnd Amorhs. " Patriotic Itish hands largely helped to ; lay the foundation for the young repub lic , Irish b oid helped to cement It , and among the most honored signers of its glorious chertor , the declaration of inde- pondersco , are to bo found n'na ' of my fel low countrjnun. George Washington , himself , v/hilo disdainfully spurning ) every English honnr , proudly becimo fin adopted citizen of Ireland. " Tlu npeakc r then rofcnod to the unwavering attach ment of the Irish people _ towards Amor- lea end American institutions. He elo quently described the love o ! country lound Iu every Irishmen's heart. "Irish men , " said he , ' 'toko the motto of the old and gallant Sixty-ninth Irish regiment of Now York. No north , no couth , no east , no west , bnt the wbolo nation. if During the war Irish blood had flowed freely in defense of the union , and Irish men rejoicirt with all for the biistalnmout 3. of the union. Mr. Egan closed as f ol > io ITS : "Americans to-d y ara joined by every lover of liberty iu mourning for her illustrious son , I , on behalf of my J. countrymen , lay my humb'o offering ou the bier of the putlont soldier of free t dom " After a short address the Uov. ; McKay atked thu audience to arlso and i a benediction was then pronounced and the gathering dispersed. A CKLEJIUATKD CAHE. > On Saturday afternoon a brief WBB > filed in the supr ? ms court of the state by the attorneys for ha plain tltl'j in orrnr In the well-knovTii cmo of Julia Abbott and others sgniost Alonzo Abbott and others. ; The cato it a highly sensational one , and > deals with parties well known In Lincoln n and this vicinity. In 1883 yourig Ab bott , son of Alonzo , wont en a visit to Iowa , and whllo there married a young Gorman girl , whom ho brought homo to * 4 M father's house , The old gentleman 4 < J had married to his second wife , and the " ' , l appearance of younc ; Mrs. Abbott , it la It alleged , WAS a source of dlcqule * and annoyance to her for certain reasons. It ItT iseaid thftt up u the elder Abbutt'sdomlse T eho is expected to comoin for a considerable Df yi able eh are of the property and the mar- rlago of thu son , the thought would , In a great meaiure , upset her calculations. ( Patterning after celebrated characters In history. Mrr , Abbott , Senior , is said yi"T to have plotted for the dlsgraco and down fill of Mrs Abbott , Junior. Upon the premises wai employed n repulsive " looking young colored man named "T Charles Murphy. Ho outraged Mrs Abbott , as sbo alleges , at the instance and by thu request of old Mra. Abbott. i After a time Murphy was arcotted for the crime , and old mm Abbott was held BS an tccotsory. Murphy wai convicted and U now carving out a teroi iu lh pen- > jtenthry. Abbott was tried but tto jury din- When the second trial came on. it is alleped Abbott having procurred the absence ot the prlnclp l wltnetnes by promises , ho was acquitted. Suits for civil damages also fell by reason of her absence. Young Mrs. Abbott claims that Abbott promised her a homo and recognition if she would abandon the suits. She ful filled her part of the agreement , but she claims that ho utterly disregarded his compact , and has utterly disregarded her and her child over since. She now seeks through her attorneys , Messrs. Brown nnd Rtan Brothers , to have the suits for damages reinstated and to ba allowed to proceed. DAVIS , THE ENGINEER. The expose by the BEE of Chester B. Davis , the coif-styled sanitary engineer , has already produced good results. Sev eral members of the city council have In stituted inquiries concerning him , and there Is now no doubt but that howill bo found wholly Incompetent for what ho desires to undertake , judging by his past efforts. Mayor Boyd , of Omah , has boon written to In. regard to Divlo , and It would bo TV oil if the authorities hero would comtnunlcua with Mr. D. n. Goodrich , superintendent of the Omaha waterworkc , concerning Davii' work on that plant. Mayor Burr now tacitly admits that Davis ia not the proper nun to plan Lincoln ooworage , and ho has virtually withdrawn his recommendation to the city council , given in his Introduction of Divls to that body. The latter gentleman has not yet returned from Chicago. It is not known what action will bo taken by the city council in the matter this evening , but judging from the present feeling nmong members It is safe to pradict that DAvis will not bo paid § 2,000 for work which ho is not qnallGed to perform. TWO 11UNNINQ HACES. At the driving park Saturday after noon quite a gathering of spotts lookoJ on at a quarter ol a inllo dash between Dick Blrupa * young stallion and Doml nick Brown's Kitty Brown for § 25 it side. After a spirited little brush the etilllon came under the wire about a length ahead. The second race was between a horse owned by Dr. Iloward , of Ashhnd , and Wllllo 0. , a well known running horeo owned In Lincoln. The race was mile heats , best two in liiroo , for $100 a silo , and was easily ivon by the Howard animal In two straight heats. SHORT ITEMS. Yesterday afternoon J. J. McCiollan and u companion , with guns aud dog , went to the country fir a little sport. lUturnlng , the gun , valued at § o5 , wa3 stolen from the wagon. Shortly after McCiollan caught the thief , whoso name h Clark , trying to dlopooo of it. A. W. Johnsou bus boon divorced from his wife ooma months. Saturday night ho went to the house of Capt. 131 , where the lady is stopping , to pjy her some money duo for alimony. VVhllo thcra Johnson states that the Captain and his wife , aided by Mrs. Johusan , foil upon him and punished him terribly for no causa whatsoever. When he arrived in town at 10 o'clock ho was iu a ntlte of exhaustion from lo.'a of blood. His face , neck and head were badly cut , and it ia thought his skull is fractured.

Evidences nro nt hand which go far to show thut eoinu improvement has been going on in the state of general trade and industry. Whether the facts referred to only stand for temporary ndvnnces , or show , instead , that things are on the up grade , I will not nndeitnko to cay , but the fact re mains that more woolen machinery is moving in ( few England than nt this time last year , This wcok'a prices of cotton goods has been marked up Jo per yard since July 31. Beyond this telegraphic reports from the country to-day show n quicker movement in general merchandise. The lendinir merchant of Columbia , Mies. , was in New York n year ago on nn extended tour of observation throughout ( the country , nnd is hero now. Last year ho reported n feeling of riepro gion and n forbidding out look from St. Louis to Boston , down the c untry to Atlanta , nud thence west. To-day ho has returned from the same trip , nnd his report is far more cheerful. Ho is nn ex ceptionally ttustworlby observer nnd his re port is significant. An Improvement with the clock market is to be put along with those facts. On the other hand , the failure ecoro is koap- ing up in n striking wny To ba aire the number of trade disnslers for this week , 192 , ia below tha score of 27C for the some week last year , but for the corresponding week of 1881 the returns wore exceptionally henAy for thu eoason , I'or the succeeding weeks Inst year the ecorea were rcspactivcly 204 , 208 , C'J , and ITS It will thus be seen that the acnro ran down as September was reached , JTho fact remains that tha year's score to date is Btlll buyond that of 1881. At thla writing there is not sufficient reason for believing that the facts will not hold goad till the rnd of the year. The student , as well as the man of busmcsp , ccutlnoo at odda ns to whether tbia year corresponds lo 1877 or 1S7S. 1S7S.Bradstrol's Bradstrol's thin week publishes n report on operations in the building trade for thn past two years and a half at filteau cities. The to ut amount expended for new buildings amounted in round numbers to 8103COO.tOO , In 1831 , na against S102000.0CO in 1883 , ns compared with probably about SOS COO.COO , in ' 1832 The firateix months of 18S3 promises to equal the average ) of the imt two years. The total number of now buildings built nt the fift nn cities rosofrom nbout21,000 in 1882 , to i3 ! , < 00 in 1883. nnd to 28.00J in 1881. The present outlook does not premise a gain in [ 1SS5 equal to that of 188 1 over 1883. The av- ornge cost of each structure in the year men tioned , as per data for tno fifteen cities , has declined from S4.CGC in 18 2 , to 81,100 in 1883. nnd to 38,73 J last year The most rapid increase in the construction of new buildings nt nny Inrpo city has been nt San Francisco. At New York the cost of tha nnw buildings already proj acted ia quite up to the record of the fame time last vflnr. In St Paul , Minn , and Pittsburg , Pn , building npsratlons are running only on n moderate ecule as compared with preceding jL'.if. At Boston there is a notabla increase in tha con struction of wooden and miscellaneous struc tures of low cost , whiln there U a decline of 20 per cent in the number of brick buildings as compared with 1881. The number of buildings constructed In Chiogo dunug 1884 was 1,282 , against 2,081 in 1SS3 , and 2,837 in 18S.2. 18S.2.Prices VI Prices on the stock market during the past week lirno been generally firm , and in the active list , excepting New Jersey Central and Western Union , the range has been unusually limited compared with last week. No mate rial changes have occurred in nny of the lend ing shutoj. The extreme fluctuations were in Western Union , which advanced 3 } nnd 2 | points respectively , nnd Dslaware & Lackn. qu ivanna , which declined 2 points. Aside from rumors about Gould , Garrett , md Western Ucion there was n daerth of te lows of nny description during the paat week , vhich fact is reflected In the very stagnant ondition ( of speculation. It is thought , how- ver , that tha leaders in the late upward novcment have generally been nnable ns yet n get rid of the cccumulntion of stock , nnd of i vith a view of accomplishing this latter on , nero nativity nnd further advances will bo ' TJi iromoted by them ns the various events eliminating in the arrangements between the to JJov.r York Central end Pennsylvania com- uniea transpire. loc All the advantages to bo domed from them n the neir future are regarded as having been c" ibjrully discounted.

His health otherwise is perfectly good. good.A A curious corroapoudencs is published this morning , consisting of letters from Lord Salisbury , Lord Handolph Churchill , Lord St. Oawald , the l te Tory whip , end I'.unell. Thsso are called out by the recent speech of Herbert Gladstone nt L ° oda respecting the treaty between the Tories nud the 1'arnell- ites. Herbert Gladslono alleged that Churchill expressly promised Parnell to drop llio criinoj act and to pass n bill for the bano'lt ' of Irish laborers and the Hud purcbaiH bill. Ho dolled contradiction. Lord Salisbury , Lord Handolph Churchill , LorJ St. Oswald aud Mr. Purnoll each de clare the statements to bj entirely falsa , aud clfiiy the existence of a cotnmou alliance. Not one of them explains how It happens that ovcnts in parliament follow precisely the course that inlftht be ixpcted if such an nlli- < auco had been in force.
