At 8:110 : o'clock last evening about two hundred representatives of Omaha dem ocracy assembled nt lloyd's oporn hoii o to itiko some formal notion in honoring tlio memory of the departed leader of their party , Samuel .1. Tildon. The meet- inj ; wns called to order by C. H. IJrown , who noinlnutcdJudge Savage for chair man. The nomination beinc : ratified , Judge1 Savage stcpiied forwatd and de livered a brief address in adulation of the departed Icadur. Tildon held but few publiu ollices iindyot hia death cre ates a void in the ranks of democrats and patriots that , it will not bo easy' to fill. He paid : i high tribute to the ability of Air. Tilden as a lawyer , and compared him iu his thoroughness of preparation and clearness of expression to Jcflerson , Ho also referred to Mr. Tilden'a magnanimity in averting n civil war in 1870 by submitting to the decision of the electoral commission that gave Hayes the presidency. At the close of Judge Savngo's address the organization of thu meeting was completed bv the selection of II.V. . Yatus , Hichafd Kitchen , J. A. Cruiprhtou and C. S. Montgomery as vice prosiilents and A. C. Wakoly as secretary. J. M. Wqolworth , Es < | . , then delivered tm admirably written estimate of the character of the "truly great American , who did not in herit his name , but made it. " llu said : "Samuel J. Tilden was a splendid illustration of American so- ctoty. Ho was not an heir to sin historic name , but ho made his name more than historic. He did not inherit the vast es tates of tin English baron , but ho gatli- erod for hiniselt vast wealth , and , what is more , the rovonmce of the peoplo. Ho was u .scholar , a lawyer , a statesman , a noble man. lie mastered the literature and the science of tlicso days of ample learning and various invention and keen discovery. Ho knew the varied and mighty ways of the human intellect , as written in the thousands o volumes winch lined the walls of his library , and in graceful words and copious diction ho traced them to the du- liglit of men of letters. His audrosscs on occasions of literary festiv ity wore the joy , if not the envy , of schol ars whose lives wore given to such ac complishments.fc " Wisdom was his ; but the gentle graces of scholarship were also Ids. But tliesu were the incidmits of his life ; Ins work was in the law.and hero his greatness was unmeasured. The keenness and comprehension of bis view , the skill and contrivance ot _ his strategy , and the prescience of his vision , were thu marvels of his peers. Ho was not a great advocate , but ho was the higher advocacy of intellectual might. The annals of American jurisprudence are illustrated by no doctrine of farther reaching application , and mprq benefi cent service , than that of thu jurisdiction of the federal courts over the great rail road corporations of the country ; and his sprvico was pre-eminent m its elucida tion and development. * * * You know him most in the majestic uhuftiutbr ? f a utatoaiuan ; Mild hero ho ranks with the kings and nobles of the human intellect who have mastered peoples ples and directed the progress of the race. Reform was his watchword , and he wrested from utter disorganization , lirst , the aflairs of his city and then the affairs of his state. And they who had rioted in thu public funds and wrought ruin with the public interests , wcro fugitives from justice or inmates of the prison , or the outcasts of society. His arm hurled the tliundnrbolt that shattered the whole system of political mischief and purified the atmosphere , so that ouco again good men breathed freely. " George . Doane followed Mr. Woolworth - worth in paying a tribute to the ability of Mr. Tilden as a lawyer , scholar , states man and man. Letters were read from Judge Wakoly and Mayor fioyii expressing tneir regret at not being able to attend the meeting. The committee appointed for the pur pose then presented the following : ItKSOMJTIOXS. Ho It ic.solved by the citizens of Douglas county In meeting asseiublod : 1. That it was vlth a fccmtimont of the most profound emotions ot sorrow that wo heard the announcement of the death ot Samuel J. Tilden. That wo deeply tloploro ttie removal from this world of such a life of usefulness and honor. To lose such iv man is no common calamity to a world , It only becomes ns to submit with all reverence 'to ' Him who "makcthdarkness his pavilion. " a. That with patriotic pride we do and shall always ruvuiu thn lifo of our great de- imrted , a man of undoubted patriotism , un- ilimlliiiig and uncompromising integrity , a leader nnd a statesman , not only among n party but among a people ple , for over half a century a prominent actor In state and national pol itics.

That wo , not only as members of a meat paity , but as citizens without respect to paity , honor the mommy ttt a man who was tine ; ono who , in sagacity and foicthoimht , was pre-eminent among modnrn statesmen ; one \vh. by tlio simple majesty of his vlitue , these who sought to enrich tlmmsclvcs at the expense of a great slain , suxid abashed and confounded.

Klxht Horses DoHtrnyoit by a Htroko orLljihtnliiK Ycsrnrduy Morning. Yostenhiy morning at 1:00 o'clock ono of Ilia stnblus nn the fairgrounds was struck by lightning and set cm lire and inside of half an hour was reduced to ashes , eight horses and n largo quantity of hay nso ! Iraing destroyed. The , ennui bolt struck uml killed a two year-old colt , which was in the Hold surrounded by thu race course. The Humes buniod brightly nnd rap idly and attracted the attention of Ofllcor Jaspcrson , who notified engine company No. I , and fromtholrhousa on thecornar of Twentieth and I/.ard streets , an alarm was turned In frpin box No. 31. The rurt was driven to iho tire , but , owing to the diitanct > unit tin ; HOft roads , the build ing was buyond relief when the sootio iv as rciK'hcd. Heshius. thn nearest hy- .Irani was on Sixteenth street , nearly ti quarter of .t mlle away , and the cart ilkl not hitvu enough hose to make the con nection , The barn was A frame structure thirty- > lv by otiu hundred foot. It contained L\r.iily : toi\sof , hay , about QUO hundred Imahthi of outs and sixteen head of 'mi-sen. ' Of the latter , eight were sared , .ht > riiinulning onus bcimr burned to crisp In The tlnmcs. The animals .saved wore Annie T. and Lucy ; D , belonging to Mr. Dillon , of North rlatto ; Little Tom , Jen nie Cobb , Mc-Farland , Chas. Caiirfy , nil the property of Kd. L'yle , of Humboldt. Mollie Mcuiflroy , owned jointly by Pyln and J. H. MoSlmno , of this city , and Ned R. owned by W , C. Hogors.of Springfield , Sarpy county. Tlio animals burned were the two- year-old colt , Al Totter , the four-year- old Tucker , the black threo-yenr-old marc , Ida C. , and Captain 1' . , all of which wciv owned by Kd. 1'ylcj Jick Wilde , a prominent colt , the property of Kd Pylo mid J. H. McShanc ; also the stallion , Little Wilkos. owned by CaPt. O'Malloy ; Legal Tender , by J. H. MeShano nud Museolto by luley nnd Dillon The bolt struck the roof on tlio west side , about one-third the distances from the south cud. It instantlv killed Legal Tender , Tucker and Al 1'otter. All of tlie o were found dead before the llamcs had made anv headway. In the stable at tlio time wcro siv men , one of whom. John Simpson , was sleep ing In a stall but a short distance from Legal Tender. The shock throw him violently against the side of the stall and awoke liim in a very ell'ectivo manner. Itesidcstho horses , all the harnesses the barn contained , amounting to about twenty sets.woro completely destroyed. A sulky and road wagon belonging to Kd I'ylo , ami a road wngon belonging to J. If. McSlmno "wore also burned. John Simpson , the hostler referred to , lost a gold watch and $2o in money. The pony above referred to ns having been struck by lightning at the same time , was in the race course enclosure. He was struck on the head and killed in stantaneously. He was two-year-old , the property of Uobcrt Easson , by whom ho had been raised. The hay and oats were turned by Adam Thompson , the lessee of the barn , and were not insured. The latter was owned by the fair association and wns insured for about sJHOO. So far as could bo ascer tained , Pylo's horses were Insured , but for what amount could not bo learned , as Mr. Pylo went toltumboldt Saturdaj and had not arrived yesterday morning. He \vas telegraphed by Mr. rotter and retur ned yesterday evening None of the other animals wore insured ! It is dillicult to compute the loss. All the animals burned were promising ones. They had como from fast .stock with excellent pedi gree , and wore in training for the track. Kvery 0110 of them gave promise of future speed , though they were all 5'outig. As an evidence of this fact , it may bo stated that J. 11. MeShano informed a UKK reporter that ho would not take $ ! 1,00 , ( ) for his interest in the pacing colt Dick \\ildc. The value of the others jof course is , perhaps , relatively as great , and without at all taking a pros pective view of their value , the loss will certainly roach $10,000. This may bo still further increased , by the fact that two of the horses , the stallion McKarland belonging to Pylo , and the brown geld ing Monte Cristo , a magnificent animal. the property of ( J. K. Mayne. got away in the darkness from their rc&cucrs. Neither had been lound up to a late hour. Mcltarltind was esteemed very high by Pylo , and U. E. Mayno places a low esti mate on Monte Cristo at $2,500. The loss will also bo increased by the tact that Ned R. is so badly burned that ho will have to bo ki.led. Ho is owned by Kogors , of Sarpy county. The scene yesterday morn ing when the UKB reporter visited the scene , was decidedly unpleasant. There was nothing of the building or its fleet occupants but a smoldering mass of hay , intorminglqd with the charred and bleeding carcasses of tlio unfortunate horses. Kd I'ylo , the heaviest sufferer by the fire arrived in town lust night from Hum boldt , at which place he had been tclo- fraphcd'botlx by Al Potter and Jim -Mp- hano. Ho stated when spoken to1 b"y a BEE reporter that ho did not feel very comfortable over his loss. Ho had iiono of his horses , indeed none of his har nesses , wagons , sulkies or breaking out fits insured. It was therefore a perfect loss. His horses represented an outlay of money and labor too dillicult to bo accurately computed , and being swept away in a few moments was about as mucti ns a man of Mr. Pyle's disposition could withstand and not bq seriously affected. As nearly as he desired to or could state , his loss will be between 57,000 and $10.000. His stallion , McFarlund , which had escaped from the en closure , was found yesterday afternoon down on the bottoms. Ho was considerably injured and showed by a number of bites all over his body that ho had engaged in a venomous light with doughty pco.r , the stallion CafTrcy , which animal , however , did not leave the en closure. Monte Cristo , C. E. Mayno' B magnificent brown gelding , was also found on the bottoms and brought back to more congenial quarters. W. C. Rogers , of Springfield , Sarpy county , owner of Ned K , who was res cued , but in a badly burned condition , had not , at last accounts , arrived in town , although he had been telegraphed. The men at tlio grounds yesterday did all they could for the suffering animal. Ono of his sides was burned badlvwhile the same side of his head was disfigured m a shocking manner. JLho sight of both ayes was lost and ono of Ids orbs seemed lit erally to Imvo melted in its bockot. In the _ abscn'co of Mr Rogers the stable man did not wish to assume the responsi bility of killing the animal , though everybody was ot the opinion that if the horse survived ho would bo maimed nnd worthless through life. The silence with which the poor creature suffered educed much warm sympathy from everybody. The two-year old pony beloiigimr to Robert Easson , which wns struck by lightning in the neighboring pasture , was buried early in tlio day , arid later the re maining carcasses were put under ground. _ ) THIS COUIIT. A South Omnha Justice lias a Match With a ijoonl Tough.

Then she took out a cig arette case and commenced smoking.nnd and finally drew a black bottle from her pocket and commenced treating herself. When the tram reached Columbus she was beastly drunk nnd made an attempt to jump from ono of tlio car windows.but was caught by Mons.
