1'ho llrst lay of the state fair proper
opened tip brightly with about twelve
tlfouS.iml pcoplo on tlio groan ds. A
large majority of exhibitors who occupy
'spiioolu thu art , agricultural and liorti-
cultural halls \voru busy completing their
exhibits. While there arc n Inrgu iiiiin-
bor of people who of course are n HUlc
late with their atock and goods , yet every
thing proceeds In nn easy anil regular
manner , which is largely duo to the
olllcicnt rnnnngcinont. President liar-
kcr has for his assistants , H.
11. Grecr and .J. Jensen , while
the alwHys ready and popular seere-
tary , ex-Governor Kurnn.H , who knows
more about fairs than any other man
west of the .Mississippi river , is assisted
by Frank \Yllson , first assistant ; John
Gillespio , MlsM Kmnm Uillespic , ( t. F.
Warren , George Furnas and George
Dickman , who are at all tinius ready to
assist the inquirer us to what ho should
do to properly present his wares to the
thousands who arc wending their way to
the stiito fair.
Kd. Mclntyre , chairman of the board
of managers , with his able corps of assist
ants , kept busy hurrying the : ui\ioiis to
their proper places , while Austin
Humphrey , general superintendent of
the grounds , divides himself up among
several ; WMUtants , thus keeping the
grounds ami people in the best ot con
dition and humor. All trains arc now
run into the grounds , landing on broad
platforms. An abundance of good water
is placed in convenient places so that
none need go thirsty. The grounds and
tnack are in the best of condition and all
who may comu will find good and reasonable
enable accommodations.
Though the art hall has been added ,
the room still seems to bo closely packed
by exhibitors from all over the country.
Among tlin most attractive is an exhipit
by the Chicntro Kindergarten association ,
which is probably the best explanation
of the subject ever given in this cottn-
try.
try.Kxi of counties will prove to be
one of the mo.-tt important features of the
great fair. Already eighteen from this
atato and Weld county , Colorado , are on
the ground. Valley , Custer , Cheyenne
and Keith each have a large and credit
able showing of grain , grasses and vege
tables. Jell'ortjon , Kearney. Polk , Hitch
cock , LaneasteiyUouglas , llayos , Dundy ,
Adams , Cuss , Lincoln , Hamilton , York
a i ill Kurnas counties have a very com
plete allowing of their farm products , bo-
Hides many of them a line exhibit of ua-
tivo wood in addition to their fruit and
tame gras-ios.
The ladies from various parts of the
state seem to have taken much interest
in the fair , judging from the extensive
display of caiHied goodn. preserves and
jellies , in addition to their display of
needle and fancy work in thu art null.
They are fairly represented on the of
ficial list by IUrs. Langwortliy , of Seward -
ard , superintendent of line arts , and
JUiss Kiln Cooper , of Plattsniouth , textile
fabrics.
The dairymen of the state arc showing
a display of their products that would
make the residents of Orange county , N.
Y. , green with envy. Several of the
creameries have a complete display show
ing the butter in its granulated form , be
sides a liberal supply ot print and tub
butter. Among the more prominent ox
IiibitA are those of Sutton , Gibbon , Ere-
mont nnd Ucnnet. besides a number of
private parties. Alany of the private en
tries of butter have been packed in
crocks or jars , or brought in oakcs
packed in common market baskets. . Par
ties attending the fair who are interested
in the dairymen's work would do well to
call on the dairy superintendent , S. C.
Hassctt , nnd procure the proceedings ol
the Dairymen's association , held at Fremont -
mont last year.
Martin Shear of Steele City , Jefferson
county , is the only party who has yet
made any entries in the cheese lino.
The vegetable display is very largo in
every particular by counties and individ
uals , and to attempt to mention their si/o
would make our readers inccedulous ,
and as seeing is believing under nearly
all circuniiitances , so it must bo in this
case , as photographs and descriptions
would be but shadows compared to the
reality. Mr. Kvans , of Omaha , makes a
gcand display of Hold , farm and garden
seeds , the larger portion of them being
ttio produces of our own state. Mr.
Honk , of thu Greenwood seed farm , also
shows a largo variety of seeds in thoii
natural condition upon the stalk and in
the .pod. lie is the propogator of sovora :
jiqw varieties of corn , potatoes and
pc'us.
The largest exhibition of fruits ever
given in the state is now on thu table in
Horticultural hall , apples being the chiel
display. Among the leading exhibitors
are Mr. Hlotlgutt with fifty-one varieties
Mr. Masters , of Nebraska City , witli
forty-two varieties : Mr. Abernathy , ol
Lancaster , thirteen varieties ; 13. Denver ,
Hichiirdson , thirty-nine varieties ; E. F.
Stephens , Saline , seventy varieties. lie
also has tv iino exhibit of choice
nursery stock , Including fruits , forest
and evergreen. When it is remembcrci
that he 1ms 500 nercs in nursery , with 200
nores ready for sale , one can imagine
that his display would bo rather on the
grand order.
Among the manufacturing interests
found ready at work was the Lincoh
pottery of 0. V. Katon , whcero ho was
grinding the mud and moulding out the
favorite llttlo brown jug.
In the itoultiv and put line LotK. Jones
& Son , of Smvard , have n largo nnd very
. creditable display , from the pigeon to
the proud pea fowl.
All stock ami horse departments are
full with line stock from the green moun
tain states to the Gulf of Mexico. Three
hundred additional stalls were built this
season , and yet there are calls for moro
room. Seventy-live car loads of stock
and freight were hauled onto the grounds
yesterday morning , forty of these were
from the Omaha fair , and all hands were
busy putting things in shape so that b\
thn lime our realtors uro perusing this
letter the state fair will be in full blast.
The sjiced department is in good con
dition with 18l ) entries of speed horses
The close of entries in the : ' . ' , " ) race have
been postponed until U o'clock p. m.
W-opnesday , the Ifith inst. The trot wil

THE WOULD OF POLITICS
will bo fully represented at the state cap
ital durinjr this fair week , and much dis
cussion will bo had over the coining re
publican state convention. Congressman
Weaver amf H. T. Clarke arc already in
the city , and J. H. Dinsmoro is busy at
the fair grounds. Mr. Clarke was soon
by the HKK representative but was not in
terviewed , for his aversion to such mat
ters is well known. Ho is. however , iu a
confident mood as to results , and is .hero
for the fair and all of it. A gentleman
fresh from the Holds of Cass county ,
where thn primaries were hold Saturday ,
prophesisos a legislative delegation favor
able to Senator Van Wyck as the out
come from their convention this week ,
and reports" that TelFt will have the con
gressional .delegates anil Chapman the
delegates to the judicial convention for
district judge. As to governor , the
prophecy was that the delegation was
apt to bo divided between Clarke , of
Omalta , and Tliayoi1.
This week the Lancaster county rcpub
Jican primaries will he belli , and a fever
ish feeling is already manifesting itself
among the candidates. That the prim
aries will bo hotly contested is an assured
fact in advance , and It is anybody's light
as viewed at the present time. The latest
active candidate in the licld is Fire
Warden Nowbury , in the First ward , and
who has had legislative experience here
tofore in his day from one of the Now
York city assembly districts. Caucuses
are now being arranged.

I.oyers of a good game of ball saw the
prettiest of the season at Durfoo's Park
yesterday between the Lincolns and the
St. Joseph's. Lincoln presented as its
battery Nelson and Schneider , and St.
Joe's battery was King and Connors
game in a score of 3 to 1. At ono time
the prospects were very promising for
a ten or eleven inning contest , the St.
Joo's having a man on third and only
ono man out. The faultless work of Nel
son in the box , however , shut them out
.and held down the score. Alexander ,
the manager of the St , Joe club , umpired
, m n most satisfactory manner. Follow
ing is the score by innings :
Liiiroln , .l 0 3
tit. Joe , , .1 0000000 0 l
The attendance was only about 800
nothing what it should bo and what the
games deserve. Games the next four
days called at 10 a. m.
TIIK FIU3T 6UCKEK
of fair week was taken in on the old ox-
press pncknge racket at the depot yester
day. He had coiuo iu on ono of the
trains to sco the fdir and had occupied a
seat from a short distance out witli a real
honest young innn , right from the coun
try , liko.lfnmi'lf. When the depot was
reached Ida friend left him for a moment ,
returning in a few minutes with the
ancient tale of not beinc able
to get an express package ,
which contained goods that ho
wanted to exhibit. 'Voulcl his new-found
friend lend him $10 until he could get a
dratt cashed up town ? Of course ho
would and did. The sucker passed the
next thrco hours walking the streets to
see if he could find the borrower , ami he
was not long In realizing that he was the
victim of a wi'll-ktwjivn and long-adver-
tisea job. Ho felt too badly fooled to
complain to the police and took the Irani
for home al'ler more cash upon which to
visit Lincoln.

The businessof the mooting was largely
transacted by the board of directors , all
of which was of a routine character. One
traveling man was formally expelled for
bad conduct , which consisted in borrow
ing money of a Plum Creek merchant , in
amount $10 , and telling the lender that
the T , P. A. would stand good lor it. As
the association was not in that kind of
business , and it appearing to a majority
of tho.sq present that the brother had
further disgraced himself by being jailed
at McCook for like crooked work , the ex
pulsion was ratified without a dissenting
voice.
The question of selecting an official
organ was under consideration , and
finally a motion to make the Omaha
lir.i : and Lincoln Journal such papers
carried , and they were so declared.
It was noticed afterward that there were
some vigorous remarks made by some of
the members over naming the Lincoln
paper , and one of. the protestants stated
that no paper had treated the traveling
men with as much disrespect ns the State
Journal. "Hie announcement was made
that the Pacific Hotel company would
give rates of two dollars a day to all T.
P. A. men , and the announcement was
received with marks of satisfaction. The
question of suppressing a saloon at
Valley station that had assumed the
association letters , T. P ; A. , as a sign for
itself , w-as discussed and steps taken to
abate the nuisance. After the regular
association adjourned , the Lincoln resi
dent traveling men present mot and
organi/.ed what will bo known as post
A , of the association. 'I'lio olliccrs elect
of this association arc , L. Heiskol , presi
dent ; Sam D. Lelaud , vieo president ,
( r. A. Clark , secretary , and C. L. McDon
ald , treasurer , with U. M. Simons , H Hay-
ford and S. M. St. Johns , directors.
An indignation meeting was held on
Saturday evening at Masonic Temple
hall over the acts of the council in allow
ing saloons to remain open over hours
daring fair week. A majority of the
audience were ladies and the speechmakers -
makers of the evening wore A. J. Saw
yer , O. P. Mason , Judge Skinner , Mrs.
Dr. King and others , and a long list of
resolutions were drawn up nnd lired at
the city council. These resolutions are of
an invective nature somewhat , but a
member of the city government , when
asked what ho thought of the meeting , re
plied with just about as much vigor him
self.
TOLIPE COUNT I'ltOCEEDlN'qS.
Yesterday marked a busy day in police
court as a sort of harbinger of what
would follow during the present week.
Two parties who were arrested in a row
in which women , wino and pugilists all
played a part were arraigned-for disor
derly conduct , plead innocence and had
their cases continued until some twenty
dollars' worth of witnesses could bo
called to help them out in an expense ac
count.
Thirteen offenders for drunkenness and
drunk and disorderly were arraigned in
court yesterday morning as the result of
Sunday's round-up by the police. They
w.orc all lined the usual amount. John
O'Brien , a colnmon vagrant and beggar ,
was arraigned and proven to bo working
the streets for money. Ten dollars and
costs.
Olaf Hoycrdahl was the name of n
party who entered C , F. Damrow's tailor
shop on Saturday night by the buck way
nnuinsido threatened to kill Damrovv ,

ceeded to create a first-class row. When
the ollicers arrested him ho had
got to his hume and was there
engaged in the pastime of abusing
his wife. He was taken under two charges
of being drunk and disorderly and of
threatening the lifo of Damrow in a men
acing manner. The court fined him $10
and costs.
John Kelly was brought into court to
answer to the charge of breaking into
the residence of Norris Humphrey and
stealing jewelry , two pocket-books and
other minor articles. Ho was seen to
leave the house , and Mr. Humphrey gave
cbaso , captured him , and turned him
over to the police. In Ids hearing Kelly
waived examination , and was bound
over to the coining term of the district
court. The chap showed that ho was
no stranger in court , and he seemed to
enjoy the fact that ho had not committed
a penitentiary offense ,
Two thieves or burglars entered a
house three miles out of the city and ab
stracted therefrom some ono hundred
dollars worth of jewelry and other valua
bles , The parties robbed came
to town und the police were
p t on the track , Yesterday
morning they received word that the
thieves had been arrested in that place ,
and an ollicor of the staff journeyed
thither , to bring them buck to this city for
a hearing.
W. H. Carrel was the name of a party
locked up by the oflicers. Ho is a pro
fessional train worker , and letters on his
person showed the business in which he
was engaged , and ho had a letter written
and iinmailed calliiig upon a chum to
coiuo on nt once to Lincoln without fail
and not stop on the way , that Lincoln
nnd Hastings wuro good towns to work.
After ho was locked in jail ho began try-
in < r to pick the lock to his cell , and suc
ceeded so well that ha had the lock so
mixed up that the otlicers could not open
the door. Consequently , as ho had sort
of sentenced himself , ho was not tried
yesterday. To show that ho was ono ol
several line workers , hoIiad not been in
jail but a short time before hu had pals
iirouud Inqutftn after him and for his
release. ' '

people near 4iis homo in this city , and
whom I lie ollieers have been watching
for , has been caught at Crete , and yes
terday Deputy Sheriff Al Beach departed
for that place to bring him IP. Thegravo
suspicion still exists that Lnut/.tT has
murdered his wife sometime within the
last ten days , nnd it is lo be hoped that
the mystery surrounding her .sudden dis
appearance will be proved to the bottom ,
anil if possible unraveled. Nothing has
been done ns yet , and if it is true that
the old man stated that she was at. the
bottom of Salt crook' the matter deserves
a thorough investigation .it onco. Cer
tain it is. the old lady suddenly disap
peared from ainouir the neighbors over a
week ago , an'd her whereabouts are un
known.
Scvoranmportant real estate transfers
were made yesterday in lots iu Harden-
burg's addition , and they are in evidence

THE GREAT SEPOY MUTINY
An Old Story of Massacre and Carnage
Retold ,

rible Vlnctnori's of Kngllsh

Tcrrlhlo UrtHlmtloii.
IMtwburg ( . "ommcrclal-Gaiotlo : "I
shudder yet when 1 think about it , " wore
the woids which prefaced the remark
able story related to a uommoirial-
Ga/.etto reporter yesterday by Mr.
William Bentli-y ot No 010 DU-IUMIIP -
way. This gentleman is om > of the few
surviving Kuronean ollicors who wit
nessed the blooil-curdl'ng ' tor : ors of the
Sepoy mutiny in India in I8" > 7 and 18.V * .
" 1 was a Lieutenant , attached to tin * corps
of engineers in the Bengal army , " ho
continued. "Wo wore stationed at
Mcerut. It was the lOtli of May , 18.TT ,
that the uprising of the Sppoys occurred.
Tliut was Sunday evening , i saddled my
horse to go and sou : \ friend who was an
olileor of one of , the native regiments of
the infantry. The Sepoys in this regiment
belonged to the disaffected troops , but
were not suspected. Ofcomsoi had no
suspicion. 1 litid just arrived nt my
friend's bungalo when the natives broke
open the bells of arms and began thu
slaughter of olliccrs , who had just ar
rived from their < | iiarters.
"Each was killed on sight. One whom
I spoke with a few minutes before was
Colon'el Fining , the brother of the then
lord mayor of London. My friend told
mo to look sharp and save my life. 1 nt
once galloped oil' . The natives , however ,
saw me and gave chase , but I escaped
with oi'ly a bullet in my log. 1 took ref
uge with the ollicers offjthe Sixth Oaj-bi-
neor regiment , and when they turned out
on parade shortly afterwards 1 was re-
ouested to stay in their lines. L staid
tliero all night. Tlio massacre of the
ollieers and their ladies continued
throughout the night , and the scenes
among the killed and wounded were
frightful beyond description. For in
stance , on the stage of the theatre at
Meorut 1 counted thirty-six corpses. The
following morning t returned to my reg
ular quarters. All the dead were brought
on artillery wagons. At this time E ] tlio
Bengal army consisted of 23,0118 Euro
peans and 118,0(53 ( natives.
"These were nothing in comparison
with the scenes at Cawnpoor nwfiil
scenes , which at this long distance of
time Iain quite unable to wholly banish
from my mind when it reverts to .that
country and time. Jt was hero that , by
orders"'of ManaSaliib , Brigadier General
Wheeler and his brave soldiers were
slaughtered in tranches and tired upon
by masked batteries. The Nairn put to
deatlt all the women found in the town
after cutting their feej oil and subjecting
them to oilier outrages.
"Mips Wheeler , the lovely daughter of
the general , rather than submit to tiio
gross violence , leaped into a deep well.
The Nana nt once seized upon this horrible
rible idea and as fast as the European
ladies were massacred their bodies were
flung into Ibis well. At the edge of this
famous 'Well of Cawnpoor , ' 1 stood
within a week after it was tilled with its
human contents. The stench arising from
it was something that is sickoniug oyon
to think of now. Over that site now rises
one of the most macnilieent pieces iof
architecture to tie seen in all India. It is
a fine octagon marble building around
the well , without a roof , and Inclosing an
elaborate tomb. It is near thn theatre
and close to the bank of the llncst canal
in the worltj , the Gances. Memorable
gardens have also been laid out around
the scene of the massacre and a boauti-
tul church erected.
'G'hildron's brains wore dashed out
against the walls ot buildings. When I
reached Gawnpoor the wells were guard
ed and railed in. On the walls of dwell
ings wo saw signs of fearful slaughter.
Tliero weru tatters ot clothing , chimps of
hair clotted thick with blood , while the
'slaughter-houso * was smeared with blood
and flesh. Thirty pairs of feet were
found in one place. The two days of the
massacre , out of 000 Europeans , at least
two-thirds were butchered , and in Sep
tember 200 more were massacred.
"In the fearful retrjbntion which fol
lowed I saw thu mutineers strapped to
the mouths of cannon and blown to
pieces ; others were hanged anywhere ;
scores of them were beheaded , and others
shot down with vollevs of musketry.
"I have seen the Nana , too , l > eforo
the mutiny ho was one of the best men at
our moss ; after the rebellion he escaped
and we had several chases after bun. It
was thought that ho was hidden in the
Nepaul hills , and I have good reason to
believe that ho died in the jungle.
"At the siege and capture of Delhi I
was present and formed one of the party
to blow open the Cashmere gate , when
Lieutenant Howe , Sergeant Carmiehael
and two others wore killed. I assisted to
carry out of the ditch , where ho fell mor
tally wounded , the bravo and good John
Nicholson under a lioavv fire from the
walls and bastions of the city.
"At the capture of Lnckntny 1 was em
ployed on the engineer's stafl' , anil with
Lieiits. Donald , MeNeill and Vincent
Eyre of the artillery I discovered and
rescued two of our ladies from the
custody of one of the rebels , who had
them closely confined in a very small
room. In the Hohilcnnd campaign and
battle and oaptnro of Bareilly , where wo
fought under Clyde from 5 a. m. till sun
set , wo lost more bravo men by sun
strokes than by disunities. After the ac
tion the men bivouacked on the licld and
sank exhausted. Many were found to
have fallen asleep In the very act of rais
ing the food provided for them to their
mouths. Scores and hundreds were
found dead in the morning. "

dled goods through the city of Brooklyn ,

Fulton kerry to East New York , Ho was
known by all the children in the districts
which ho visited. Ho liked to AGO A good-
looking girl , and ho married three times.
Catharine Burke was his third wife and
ho married li.r because nho hap been in
his employ during the lifetime of No. 2 ,
Catharine was ambitious , and she in
duced John to make an effort to rise in
the world. Ho engaged in the business
ot a faker , and went about with it little
platform , from which he harangued his
audience , nuder his arm , and witli a little
coal-oil lamp stuck on a small polo ,
which served to illuminate the surround

on his stand near the village tavern a
crowd soon gathered about him , hi.s oil
lamp , and his little rostrum. Ilis talk to
the rural public was full of native Wit of
an Irishman , .and ho always got his
hearers into good humor with his sallies
and small talk before exposing his wares
to their wondering ga/o. John had a
mind of an invontivenuwi , aud turned it
to good account. Ho made a name for
himself by inventing what is known as
the roUtrning ball , a rubber globe at
tached to a rubber string , anil cleared
sao.cw.
Then the Burke family rose from its
obscurity and looked down from its fi
nancial ' bight upon its admiring neigh
bors. John IJm-ko and his wife gave
snlendid entertainments to their particu
lar friends , at which the punch uowl was
fremioiitlv emptied , and many a reel was
reeled , and many a jig was jigged.
John's particular friends helped him to
got away with a large part of his wealth.
What he had left ho invested in a big ton-
cmont-houpo in York street wUh a mort
gage of $14,000. In September , hist
year , Catharine Hurke got a. decree of
separation from her husband on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.
