On the lir.st day of January , 1870 , the
county of 1) . in pursuance of a" vote of the
people so directing , issued and delivered
to tla > Covinglon , Columbus & lllack

10 per cent , coupon bonds for the sum of

cent , of the assessed valuation of the
county. These1 bonds were duly regis
tered and certilied by the county dork of
1) . county and by the secretary and
auditor of the state. Afterwards the
county refused to pay the interest and an
action was instituted against it in the
circuit court of the United States for the
purpose of collecting the interest duo on
thu coupons. The defense of the illegality
of tlio bonds , owing to Iho excessive is-
MIO , was interposed , but the bonds were
hold valid in tlio hands of a bona tide
purchaser for value , and judgment was
rendered againitthe county forlfii ( ! > - . ! > l.
No proceedings in error or appcall were
then taken for Iho purpose of obtaiug a
review of that judgment. The county
board then agreed with the holder of the
bonds to execute to them twenty-year six
per cent lefimdiug bonds , to bo substi
tuted for HID bonds of 1H7 ( > , under the
provision of _ the act of February i.8 , 1H3II.
The refunding bonds were executed and
registered and certified by the county
clerk , but the secretary and auditor of
htate refused to register them or to cer
tify that they were lawfully isMiod , alleg
ing biich wa- . not the fact. The county
then applied to tlio supreme court for a
mandamus to compel action bv the state
ollicers and judgment was obtained in
favor of the county , awarding tlio writ
and compellinir the fortification and reg
istry. After they were certified and reg
istered by the stale auditor the county ex-
banned them for the oiiginal bonds
of IHTti and the interest accrued thereon ,
and destroyed the original bonds. In an
action to enforce the payment of the in
terest accrued on the refunding bonds ,
it was held that the county was estopped
to deny their validity in the hands of a
bona lido holder of value.

A man giving his nnmo as J. O. Hewitt
was under arrest at the police station yes
terday charged with passing forged and
worthless checks. On his person when
found was n cheek for $100 on a Wahoo
bank , and this is evidently evidence
nirani't him. For several days a number
of firms in Ibis city have been victinu/.ed
in small amounts by some sharper and
the police have been actively at work
ferretiuK out the chaps. A number of
saloon men were among the vietimi/.ed
and also restaurant men and small deal
ers. The checks were mostly on banks
outside the city making it easy to work
for several days without discovery ,

Qnirtly Passed Away.
Last night at nine minutes lo 12 o'clock
( icneral George M. O'Brien died at his
residence , 018 South Kightconth street.
L'or the last three days his life had been
despaired of , though for several days pre
viously , it was thought ho would survive
the attack which prostrated him In a
most painful manner. The general , un
expectedly to his friends , was taken ill
shortly after Now Vcar's , and what was
supposed to be a temporary affection
soon developed the malignant typo which
made him almost helpless from
iho outset and finally resulted
in his death. This announce
ment will be received with a consider
able degree of astonishment , because the
[ ihyslquo and vigor of the general , and
the excellent condition in width he had
been , and which , In fact , had character-
/.cd his whole lite , led his friends to be
lieve that he would bo able to recover
From the stroke anil again appear in their
midst. Insensibly , however , the disease
fastened upon him with so much strength
that , on Now Year's morning , those of
Ids family who resided in tlio city ami
Lhosc who had been drawn hither from
abroad , gathered around his bedside and
tearfully bade him adieu , because it
seemed that he could not survive the ad
vent of the new year.
Despite the anticipations of his medical
attendants and the fears of his family ,
however , the general regained conscious
ness and seemed to realize the danger in
which lie lay. I lis exceeding gooil nature
and indomitable energy came to his res
cue and , with returning strength ,
which followed most skillful
treatment on the part of his
physicians , Drs. Loisonring and Neville ,
lie resolutely fought thu .advance of the
fell destroyer , who , however , hovered
near. So great was his improvement
that , for several days , physicians , rela
tives and friends felt that , barring an un
favorable turn , the prostrate gentleman
would outlive the attack. This im
provement continued until last Thursday
night , when , in connection with his
ailments and weakened condition , his
malady assumed a new form. Medical
skill was invoked to relieve him , however -
over , without success. It then became
apparent that there was no hope for bis
recovery , and from that time until the
hour mentioned above , lie gradually approached
preached tlie portals of the tomb , which
liave now forever closed upon him.
During his illness ho has been , for the
greater part , conscious. He has fully
tecognized all the members of his family ,
and even longed lor members of it who
bad been separated from him ,
by both lapse of distance and time.
Those , however , by a happy dispensa
tion of Providence ami the intervention
of electrical and railway facilities , were
gradually brought to bis bedside only to
receive , however , the recognition
of a man who had but a
short time to enjoy their presence.
Among these were his brother , Captain
Nick O'liricii. of Cheyenne ; his daughter ,
Mrs. T. Joe Fislior , of the same place ,
with her two children , Willie and Lor-
etla ; his sister , Mrs. M. A. 1'eichert and
sou Francis , of Milwaukee , Wis. ; his son
( Soorgo , of Seattle , who arrived after a
journey of six days , and wno will now
remain hero in the practice of the IMWJ
and another son. Nick , train dispatcher
on tlie Union Pacific road at Kawlins ,
Wyo. Those , totrether with his daughter ,
Mrs.V. . A. Mclvlroy , and her husband ,
Ins wife and daughters , Maggie , lioisio
and Frances and son Mo-.es . ,
with a number of friends , .sur
rounded his bed. when , with the ut
most peace , ho resigned his life to his
maker. The presence of these loved ones
was a consolation which seemed to rob
the occasion of its terrors and constituted
: i boon not often vouchsafed even the
most notable of earth.
( SeneralO'Hrien was born in CSarymoilo ,
County We.xford , Ireland , May 1 , lHi .
Ho was a lineal descendant of the his
torical house known as ( he O1 linen's.
His mother was a daughter of the cele
brated General Codde. His early educa
tion was received from private tutors ,
and after a preliminary training
lie was sent to finish jus
education in the academy at Coolgarilf.
In is 15 he entered unon a collegiate
Lour e in Wexford. During the famine of
181(1-47 ( he loft college and assumed the
dntios of clerk in the barony of Scara-
walsh in connection with the public
works , for the relief of those suffering ;
from the failure of the crops. Ho took
an active part in the patriotic uprising of
ISIS , made memorable by the leadership
of his kinsman , William Smith O'ltrion.
Upon the failure of the movement , which
resulted in the arrest of many
ot the leaders , ho sailed with his
lather and family to this country
reach in K Milwaukee , Wis , , Juno 14th.
IHl'.i. ' There ho beeamo a civil engineer
and riiryeyor , and followed that busi
ness' , during intervals , howovcr , devoting
himself to the study of law. In Septem

bellion broke out ho enlisted as a private

balnllion , in the city of Washington.
He became subsequently colonel of
the Forty second Io\va infantry and the

meritorious services the rank of briga
dier general by brevet , which rank he hold

lie came fo Nebraska on Hie lilth of

who , at that lime , were a menace
to western settlers and the extension
of the frontier , ami served in the
plains of this.state and Colorado with both
credit to himself and command against
tlio repacious attacks of the savages of

Ho continued in the practice of his

Fully one thousand people watched
John S. Prince , the champion , and Frank
Dingley make 500 circuits of the track in
the exposition building in their bicycle
race for $100 : tside. A large number of
ladies were present , the audience alto
gether being the largest and best that
has witnessed- any one race in Omaha.
The men wore both in excellent trim and
made a hot race from the start. Dingley
had many backers in the audience and
bis work showed the force of Prince's
statement that ho is the second taslest
inatHu the country. Prince and Dingley
led in turn and were close together for
most of ihu race. The champion did
some treiiieirtlous spurting , but could not
shake Dingley , At the linish Dingloy led
until the last two laps , when Prince by
one of his phenomenal spurts got the
lead and was about forty feet ahead when
the fifty milo notch was passed. Both
men were loudly applauded at the finish
and were surrounded for a louir while
after the race by congratulating
friends. The time of the race was
'J hours , 51 minutes and ! ! 1 seconds. This
is considerably less than Prince's cham
pion record for the same distance made

John Mulvany'.s famous paintintr , the
"Baltlo of Aiighrim , " was placed on ex
hibition yesterday at Hospe's art store ,
anil many of Omaha's connoisseurs took
advantage of the opportunity to study
the magnilicont work. The picture is on
a canvas 0\1 } ! foot , and is a grand repre
sentation of the desperate encounter in
that awful cavalry struggle on Sunday ,
July 12 , 101)1 ) , which ruined the fortunes
ot the Stuart dynasty and set the seal of
servitude upon the people of Ireland.
Mr. Mulvany , who is a thorough Celt ,
has seen some ot tlio most sanguinary
uncaguinents of the American civil war ,
and in thvs paintini ; seems to _ have been
inspired by his native feeling in port rayIng -
Ing the great combat for liberty. The
picture is full of color and life , and i.s not
so much of a painting as it is a battle ,
Tlio-i who saw it yesterday wore en
tranced , and as it remains on exhibition
for a number of days longer largo crowds
will undoubtedly avail themselves of the
opportunity to sco thia woik of art.
Mr. Mulvany has also another noted
battle painting representing Custer's
last rally , whieu has given him a world
wide reputation. '

lint few cities of the.si/cof Omaha have
as many first-clatis amateur musician ! , . It
is noticeable , too , that prominent , profes
sionals are pleased lo tarry hero. All en
tertainments of a musical character by
foreign artists : > rc numerously patron-
ix.cil and intelligently enjoyed. The won
der has been why .some concerted action
has not been taken by Omaha vocalists
for their mutual benefit , the pleasure of
the local public and visitors to this pro
gressive metropolis. It wa- , not alto
gether a surprise , therctore , when a rep-
ret-entative of the Hr.i : was informed yes
terday that active stops hud boon taken
to form an oratorio society. In fact the
musical child is already bom , lifty-oue
well known musician's have already
rocked its cradle , anil the aid of all mu
sicians in the city is requested to bring
this precocious infant to a strong , healthy
youth The now organization will be called
the Omaha Oratorio society , and among
the active charter workers are Mrs , ( . 'ot-
ton , .Mr > . Man in Calm , and Messrs. Fred
Cray , V , I ) . Donnan , Northrop and Wil-
kins. Xahan Fniuko has been selected
director , which fact in itself shows that a
line organisation will be built , im. His
superiority as a musician and bi.s thor
ough capability as an instructor are fa
miliar to the Omaha public asvcll as tp
the musical world at largo. The society
is , therefore , to be congratulated on it's
choice. The desire is to inoron.- the
membership right away to 100 , and
surely there should bo no dilliculty in
doing so here. This being accomplished ,
preparations will be made at once for a
grand musical festival in May , when the
liomo society will be assisted by the best
star talent obtainable from abroad , to
gether with a grand orchestra. The
main object of the society i.s , of course ,
to give some lifo to the musical talent
now lying dormant in Omaha ; to culti
vate a better lusto for the beautiful
in song , and to add to the pleasure
of the general public by encouraging
moro niimorous musical cmcrtaitimonts.
At present the charter members have
been holding meetings al the Congrega
tional Tabernacle- St. Mary's avenue
every Monday evening. To-morrow
evening at 7 ! JD a. m. the next meetin < ;
will be held In the same rooms , ami all
vocalists in Omaha who desire to aid In
promoting a worthy and enjoyable work
are requested to bo present.

To the Kditor of the HKI : : In a manner
I am responsible for the interview con-
conerniug Trustee Taylor's partisan
management of the schools in district Xo
S3 , and 1 deem it proper to reply to his
screed of yesterday's date. Ryory main
point ho touched he Imsmenrs with false
hood , and to vital points ho does not dare
refer , In regard to there bolng a fiuf-
iiconl number of children in the district
for a graded school it i.s true. But thu
law in this respect , as 1 recall it , only
permits the formation of a trustee-board
in such eases it does not make it obliga
tory. Uhythcn , if , as Taylor .says , the
children in the HO called "High school"
could only spell words of two syllables
was he o anxious to have a board formed
and the trustee system continued. When
he says tlio school was mi-mnnaucd
under the old regime lie says
what is fulse. The people of
this city and county know lion-
jamin 1 * . Knight , oveotiiity commis
sioner , Charles A. Tutrgart , Mr. Heron ,
now of northwest Nebraska , and Charles
.J. Ryan , the old ollieers , too well for any
person like Taylor to injure them one
iota by any words of blull or bluster.
The payment of only $18 per month for
the present school room on Mercer ave
nue instead of $ . ' ! 0 , may bo correct , but
Taylor's word is not a sullicient guaran
tee of its truthfulness. Why is Trustee
Taylor so careful not lo say anything
about the desirable location of ilie rail-
mail school tor educational purposes ?
When he calls the school house owned
by the district on Lowe avenue u "barn , "
be knowingly families It i.s the best
frame .school building of its size in this
county , and together witu surrounding im-
provomonls cost nearly if not oversfl.OOO
about two yoar.s ago. Another falsehood
is the statement that no one but one ori
two old settlers are finding fault with
his ollicial acts. Let him consult ome of
the prominent people of thn districteven
within the very .shadowof his conditional
proprietary interest on Walnut 11111. It
is ol course proper lor the north anil
south portions of thu district to haye
.schools , hut the rights of the eastern ami
central portions should also bo respected.
The instilling closing of Taylor's com
munication , no matter to whom ad
dressed , is amusing. The idea of Bob
Taylor paying taxes or anything else !
The idea of bis accusing any om of
lying ! He is too well known in Umaha
to make such a liuxardons opening on the
chess board of personal criticism. 1 have
nothing to' do with Trustee Taylor's
Rchemns political , religious , or social. 1
am amply able to reply and protect my
self against any of his windy attacks , no
matter how personal they may bo. When ,
however , ho iniwarranlcdly attempts to
injure the educational interests of my
children I will meet him every time.
Respectfully , J. JJ. J. UVAN.
