Rhodes and Cad 1 C I'ncc , the rustling town lot auctioneers , returned yesterday from conducting their second , auction sale of lota m Kournny. The auction was in ovury way a success. A number of Lincoln pc-oplo accom panied Messrs. Rhodes and 1'aco to Kcrxr- tiny , nnd the entire number were guests of Mr. Albright and hla party of Omaha people on their return from Kearney to Omaha over the Union 1'acltic , To say that they appreciated the latter Is but expressing - pressing thn undivided opinion of thn Lincoln men. Walt Mason , the versatile genius who hon been writing SOUKS in prose for the Atchlson Globe has become one of tlio tellers In Holds journalistic ut Lincoln , nnd will be at the head of thn "Topics of the Times" column of thn Journal. The Lincoln base ball club was received with open arms on their return yesterday from their southern trip. They had thn coed record cu the last vieit south of winning nine out of twelve of the games played and reducing materially the lead that the Topokus liavo for the pennant. J. W. Dowceso was arrested Friday. It was for no very serious ofl'enso but his sidewalk was not in position and block adedwherefore the city lined him $1 and ho agreed to make straight his paths. George Smith and William Brooks were the entire grist at police court yes terday and their ollbnse was the old one of getting drunk. Ono of them , when arrested , was so helpless that ho had to bo wheeled to jail. The judge fined them W each and costs , and they were com ' mitted. IMPORTANT CASE. Ilnllroftd Discrimination Brought tea a Lively Test. Ell Plummet1 , Uoscoo A. Perry and John Fitzgerald compose the firm of Perry , Pluinnicr & Co. , wholesale gro cers , of Lincoln. Yesturday they com menced a unit ngainst the United Pucilic railroad company. The cause of notion nrisc.i from a claim thtttthe said railroad dtacflminfltus nguinst Lincoln In favor of Omaha. The special allocations are , ac cording to the bill of particulars , that the United Piicitic hits tixcd a schedule- rates In Omaha for the purpose of hauling - ing goods through nnd than robilllng to the interior towns of the state , thus get ting tlio bunutit of the clutrgu for local rates. That on the twenty-fourth und twontv-tlfth of Juno thu American sugar refining company , of San Francisco , California , consigned to Plumtner , Perry & Co. , of Lincoln , 000 barrels of sugar. That it cnmo through all rlaht and that the railroad company rofusud to switch it at Valley and send it to Lincoln , only twenty-three miles away , but brought it to Omaha and than re billed to Lincoln. Thu rate to Omaha was 00 cunts a hundred pounds and the company demanded 15 cents nioro , or 75 cents at Lincoln. That the ilrm paid $083 0V under protest. That the service was like nnd contempor aneous , the ( Uffbronca of twenty-three miles in distance not making the circum stances dillcruut or dissimilar. That tlio road was in a combination and wasgullty of unjust discrimination against thu plaintitr and Lincoln. Also that the com pany is guilty of charging and receiving unreasonable , excessive nnd extortionate charges for transportation , guilty of causing an interruption and stoppage of property to prevent it being treated as a continuous carriage , nnd guilty of enter ing into a combination to avoid , evade nnd violata the act of congress to regu late commerce. Tbo damages claimed nro $500. POLICK"UOUIIT. Judge Berka'a Business Yeatenlay Afternoon. Business about the police court yester day afternoon was light the lightest afternoon for many u day. Anlon Am- crsou/wns up on a charge of sleeping on the sidewalk. Around the upper part of his arm was an arm-bolt In which was secured $35 and $00 in money , and a watch and chain was found on his per son. Ho was lined $5 and costs. Wil liam Uittler had been found noisy drunk. As ho is'a hard working man with an appetite for drink und had u job on the grade south of town , ho was told to < ic- part , which. Iw quickly did. William W > tl e , a rod-faced Individual , was told to go and sin no more , but ho under took to give the judgea piece of his mind as ho started for the wicket door. Uo was stopped by Whalen , brought up again and lined $ r and costs tor his funny business William Uittlor was helplessly drunk , but as ho is a hard working individual and it was his lirst offenseThe was allowed to dupart. A complaint was made by J. II. Fuller against John Swabo for striking a boy. Swabo was allowed to dupart on his own recognizance and the trial was sot for next Tuesday afturuoon. A number of thu newly appointed police officers were sworn in by Judge lierka. Dlitrict Court. Mmnio llorrloy has commenced suit ngain t her husband , Frederick llorrloy. for divorce. In the bill of complaint she tells of the cruel and inhuman treatment she and her infant child received at his hands , among which are some most re volting charges , and how , finally , when her child was hick unto death , both mother and child were driven from homo. A very "notable" case commenced in this court yestrrday was that of John Kccd vs. Josoban L. Uice and H. E. Weaver. The action is based on twenty-two notes each for $50 and all dated November 3 , 1881 , and the date of payment was Octo ber 3 , 18 $ } . The only payment alleged to have been paid was on the tirst note , which occurred October 18,1848 , and the amount handed over was $57.53 , part principal and interest from the date the note was made. Ilonco on this lirst paper the sum of $3. ° 0 with inter 0 est from October 18 , 1883 , is claimed. As alleged none of the other notes have been paid and the total amount claimed is $1,050 , with Interest at 10 per cent from 0 October 1883. SOB WANTM $10.000. a Ella Morgan 8ue Henry Grnsi For Malicious Prosecution. Miss Ella Morgan , who recently had so much trouble with the lovelorn widower. Henry Gross , who caused her jrm arrest and detention In the police station for two days , has commenced suit against him for $10,000 , for malicious and un ! warranted prosecution. The ease will ! como up before the courts of ( irucloy couutv. of which Gross U a resident. lo is worth $45,000 , but before ho will re Ella any of it ho will spend a goodly in inat in lighting her. As It is understood that . her lawyers are to receive the greater part of the amount that shou Id be allowed : for damages , it is presumable that she is actuated more by retaliatory than mer - cenary motives. - Where r the linzr Sprinklers. There is some complaint that the street - sweeping machine that makes its rounds after night , is getting to be somewhat of ! a nulaanco on account of insufllclent sprinkling. The clouds of dust that arise . in are not only offensive to pedestrians , but > it lind their way through all windows that must necessarily bo open thcso warm nights , and are a source of annoyance to thu uo'at hourokeoper. to The local bank clearings yestcrdaj * amounted to H08.595.08. For the wpel - the clearings were 13.778,354.00 , un in .crease of 73.8. For the moith of Julj O. the clearings reached $13,251,404.39. THE DENVER OF NEBRASKA , Albright Charters a Palace Oar and Invites Bin Friends Out Biding. KEARNEY FOR THIRD PLACE. Omaha Capitalists Visit Kearney and Are Btnck on tlio Town , Hut Al- bright lirlng * Xhcm Safely Homo Again. In answer to an invitation from W. G. Albright , a score of Omaha capitalists , stepped aboard the Pullman car , Ormus , last Thursday evening and sailed forth to buy real estate , It possible , in Kear ney , Nub. The car , which by tlio way is ono of the linost thn company turns out , was chartered by Mr , Albright for the round trip , and as the car arrived In this city yesterday morning with most of the gentlemen on board , ills safe to presume that It accomplished its purpose. Mr. Albright had promised some few days beforoao manage the auction snle it Kearney , which took place Friday nf- crnoon , and as subsequent events will ) rovo. ho was just the man to carry out he salo. As he had never been to Kcar- icy , ho naturally felt like going pro- ected , and the way his friends came to ils rcscuo , was a caution. None who were invited , refused to go , for I hey knew hat Mr. Albright would see that their rip would bo both pleasant and remuner ative. To say that his guests were entertained rovally is putting it very mild. In fact every gentleman who hail the good fortune to bo on Mr. Albright' * oar , not only expressed himself a * well i > lcascd , but also surprised to lind that so mich real generous hospitality could bo ounil in any ono man. Not but that .hoy all knew him to bo generous to a limit , but in this Instance lie surpassed ilmself , nnd those who formed his party were hearty in their thanks for thu splen did trip which ho afforded thum. A- * the palace cur did not pull out of Omaha until 8:20 : p. m. , the outside of the car lid not show up to any great advantage , jut inside nil was as it should be. As boforn stated thu object of the excursion wns to attend the sale of an addition to the city of Kuarnoy , owned by Messrs. Munroo , Wiley and Uolton. Upon their arrival at Kearney the ex cursionists were welcomed by thu loading citizens and aftnr breakfast thu uutire party accepted an invitation for u drive about thu city. They started hi a north easterly direction , and viewed the addi tion to be sold. The drive was then extended tended out onto the hills and over to the lake which is fed by a canal. It was about four years ago when thn projnct was tirst started to build this canal , which commences at n point on the Plutte , seventeen miles west arid ends amonc the hills which now form the banks ol the lake at Kearney. The object was to secure water power. The enterprise has been successfully carried out largely through thn efforts of Colonel George w. Frank , who is a largo property owner In Kearney. It was ten o'clock in the forenoon be fore the party again returned to the city Then after a pleasant chat with some of the leading business men , the excursion ista partook of a noarty dinner , made al the more apoti/.lng on account o : the invigorating atmosphere dur ing the ride. Shortly after dinner thdy were given a very line concert by the uniformed brass band consisting of fifteen bright and intclli gunt looking boys from the state Indus trial sohoolT who then led the procession of carriages out to thu grounds to bo sold After some more music by tbo band am a long speech from the auctioneer , tli sale commenced. The bidding wns quito lively and several oral Omaha gentlemen invested , among others Mr. Albright , who pnrchasct twenty-one lots , lie was not intcrcstcc directly or indirectly in the sale of the addition , further than that Iho 'totail" jjj the sale of the addition -Cf0 under his direct sutj tviHiou and he made his in vestments from a purely business stand point. Mr. Albright's principal com petitor for these lots was Mrs , Bickncll , a highly respectable lady and wife of the B. & M. agent at Kearney , who dis played remarkably good judgment and nerve in her purchases , thus showing her unbounded confidence in the future of her city. The entire addition , was sold mono hour and foity miuutes , bringing fair prices. The Omahans were then driven back to iho city and were most hospitably en tertained during the remainder of their stay by Messrs. Monroe , Wiley , Italian and their friends. During the visit at Kearney , a representative of the UKI : had the pleasure of meeting the lion. C. I ) . Finch , the mayor , and president of the board of trade , and Secretary K. O. Holmes of the board of trade , both of whom seemed to be well adapted to look after the welfare of the city. Kearney is beautifully situated midway between Denver and Omaha , and those who have been to Denver cannot help but seu the resemblance that Kearney boars the Colorado metropolis. The view from the bills stretches away uj > and down thu Plattu , which somewhat resem bles a shining , silver snnko on a largo sca'o ' crawling through the country. Look in any ui- rection from the hill tops about Kearney and the view is unsurpassed anywhere. It has throe good schools , churches , and two trunk line railroads , and any num ber of llrst-class men who can make u great place of Kearney if they will. On the return trip Mr. Albright was asked his opinion of Kearney oy his friends in the palace car , and after speaking m the highest possible terms of praise of its wide streets , its magnilicent drives , the productive country surround ing it , its railroad facilities , the canal anil water power , the substantial build ings , thn beautiful scenery , and evi dence of wealth on every hand , ho said : "As Is generally the case in cities nnd towns before they have experienced u real , genuine boom , it scemn that every man in Kearney has tin axe to grind. The sooner they drop those petty inter ests and eyory man puts his shoulder to the wheel and all push together the sooner will Kearney bring itself to the rank of third city of this state. No ono man in Kear ney can make or break the place. But If thcgb Individual interests will unite and pull together for the good of the city , those who are now figuring what their acres would bring if laid out in city lots will soon have their1 fondest hopes realized. Some very liberal In ducements must be oU'ered to outside capital , and homo capital must lend a helping band. The mere fact of putting white stakes In a cornfield docs not make the lots valuable. " The members of the Omaha parly arose so enthusiastic in their praise of the princely manner in which they were en tertained by the Kearney people nnd especially bv Mr. Albright and the many pleasures incident to the trip that Kear ney and Albright is about all they will talk about for a week. A Change of Daae. A. E. Marriott , who was for a long time night clerk at the Millard and more recently steward of the same hostelry , has resigned to take effect August 15. Mr. Marriott will take charge of the restaurant of ( he Barker hotel. At Woodsville , Nowayo county , Mich. , last week , a social black bear quietly - walked past a lady who was picking berries. "They did not speak as they passed by. " H , * / A ClIKSXfSUH OP TilE OAIIS. David WnlUcor < let * Thereon Simply , ttllcklji anil Solidly. Seven monfhs ngo David \Vallnco , n sturdy ' son of Limerick , came to this country and cWuco located him In San Diego , Cal. There oauio a man 111 town one , day looking for some ono to attend the 1 dam at the Situ Diego lltiino some forty miles away. David was introduced tc him and an engagement was made at once. The criiploycr was James Kobin- son < and It seems that his employe pleased' him because mot'o ' and more responsible positions were given and wages corre spondingly increased. David Wal lace earned his monthly stipend by good , honest labor. and at the end of each thirty days there was money Rent to Limerick , Ireland , payable to Margaret Wallace , a wife who had most roluctantlj agreed to her husband's trip to the "new world , " Last week David thought ho would astonish the folks at home by personal appearance , and accordingly ho procured a railway ticket to New York and an ocean passage to Qucenstown. Shortly .after leaving "Frisco" he met a "friend. " Ho was a friend indeed , and to the open hearted Limerick man ho was a friend sure enough. The latter was going to the same city in Ireland as Wallace In fact should ho not reached his destina tion ho wisheu his mother , "Mrs. Lam bert. No. 28 , Queen street Limcrick , " to know that ho had made a grnud effort to scale the llocky Mountains and slide along the plains and burrow among the sands , and cbassco through Iho chaop.v rnl and cot pricked by tlio cacti and dine on alkali conktails all for the sake of his mother. David Wallace took all this in and at the same time the stranger was taking him in. The latter had nomonov , but would have when ho got to Chicago. A very foolish assertion , since it is said no ono has money in Chicago since the "boodlers" left. At any rate , when the party arrived hero tlio stranger happened to tliink his trunk hud been exprussed to Omaha and he neednd $10 to got it out of the iron claws of the company. David immediately loaned the X. He saw it nnd the recipient no more forever , nnd became n wanderer in a strange lt nd with a ticket to New York and across the big lake and not ono cent for tribute to incidental expenses on the route. Some kind friends helped him out of his dilli- oulty , but It was noticeable that ward politiciaus who would squander twice as raueh as the amount required on ballot boxes treated tlio unlilcity traveler with a lauirh. "What kind of a man was ho who got your money ? How did ho look ? " nskod a reporter. . . , "I-tilth , sir , ho was a foino looking man. Ills hands wore as phite as a mould candle and the jewelry he had och mealia murtherl" "Did ho treat you nicely on the way ? ' "Yes , and ho did. Slmro ho made mo throw away my filings , put up at St. Diugo , and go with him to the atiDg places wo stopped at. " "Who paid for all this ? " "Shuro and Ijdid , but ho had no change , and p iwat could I do with a man who acted like a brother to mo ? " This is David1 Wallace's experience from Frisco , Snd ° there is only ono con elusion to reach'and ' that is that David is not a subsceiberto the daily or weekly papers. ( i r Gr.iltlc arid Canker.

The counters are finished In red wood and ire of the latest designs , made by the uost skilled workmen in the United states. Each show ouso is ornamented with a pain of gloss twenty-live feet in ongth nnd of such strength that one could dance a clog on t p of it with out breaking through. It will probably never bo used for that purpose , hownvor , 'or ' boncath its clear surface Messrs. Ed- helm & Akin will exhibit a line of jew elry and silverware the like of which has never been shown in the west. Air. Akin has taken especial care in f > t > locting those goods and each of the now cases will this week show off their eil'eot to good ad vantage. Although the store and goods are the linust In the west , it does not necessarily follow that their prices are high , for those who will take tlmo to BCD this line exhibit will soon be convinced that they can buy of Kdholm & Akin as cheaply us any other stern In the city. The cases contain line gold watches in nudloss va riety , engraved and ornamented In all the newest stylos. Among the watches that will first catch the eye of the visitor is the line of ladies' timepieces , promi nent among which are those ornamented with an anchor Inlaid with diamonds mends , the llornl Inaf and a watch with that rare article , a four-leaf clover , inlaid with diamonds , and which is sup posed to bring great luck to the fortunate possessor. Every kind of a time piece will bo found huro for ladles or gentle men , either In silver or gold , as well as every kind of French and American clocks. Next in order comus the elegant line of emerald , diamond and engage ment rings and bracelets , which can only bo appreciated by being seen. Edholm & Akln's linn of silverware is the most complete of any house In the country , 'jvcrythlng being In stock , from a small cup for the baby to the lincst kind of a tea dot. They make a specialty of thn celebrated Towle solid silver , wnich comes in designs far beyond anything over before Miov/n in this city. Their bronzes which they import direct from Paris willblso bo on exhibition this week , and these alone will well repay a visit to this handsome establishment. Masonic , Knights of Pythias and other lodge charms and jewels are made a specialty , and they can furnish anything in this line on short notice. The engraving department in in charge of competent workmen , who turn out aa good work as can be found in the United States. The best of diamond setters and watch makers are always employed in the repair department. The diamond suiting being m charge of Mr. Andrew Evcnson , a diamond wetter of twenty- seven years experience ; the watch repair department is under thq management of Mr. C. A. Norberg , which fact alone is guarantee enough of the very beat work. This gentleman lia < ; bad thirty years ex perience in his particular branch of the business. _ Tlia 21U3ical department of Messrs Edholm & Akins' establishment is by no means least because it is mentioned lost , for this branch is ono of thq few houses in this city where musically inclined people ple thoroughly enjoy themselves , as the celebrated llehnlg and Decker pianos with a full line of the latest sheet music enables everyone to select accord ing to their tastes. Mr. N. J. Edholm , the senior member of the llrm. has been in the jewelry busi ness In Omaha for more than fifteen years , and Mr. A , M. Akin , who. about a year ago purchased a partnership , is an Omaha boy who has lived hero ever since he can remember. lioth members of the llrm are practical and understand every detail of tbo business. The Union Pacific railway company have shown enough confidence in them to appoint them as inspectors of all the watelios of their em ployes. The success which has attended Edholm & Akin , since the change of firm" year ago is very gratifying to themselves , and has placed them in the very front ranks as loaders in the jewelry and imisic business.

A Game of Draw Chester A , Arthur Jr. , a Passenger Independence Day On Water An Agree able Crowd. LEAMIXOTOK , England' July 18 , 1887. [ Special Correspondence of the BEE. " | Perhaps the most difllcuU part of writing n letter is making the beginning , and as I sit In the pleasant littio coflco-room of n thoroughly old-fashioned Kiigllsh inn , "The Crown. " I am doubly impressed with the Importance and iliniuulty of a good beginning , partly because I want It to bo interesting , nnd partly because I have such a variety of starting points , However , this delightfully long English twilight will not Inst forever , besides wo must bo oft" for Oxford early in the morn ing , ami myhasty conclusion is that It is better to begin at the beginning. This carries mo back through n period of about two weeks , when on the fur-oft' coast of New England in the miserably slow coiiig town of Now London , crowds and crowds of young men wore to bo seen surging to and fro through the crooked streets , some marching about with the triumphant treail of victory , singine , cheering , or giving vent to their inexpressible joy with lire-works and cannon-crackers , others walking about with long-drawn faccs-or sitting deject edly in hotel corridors patiently waiting for that "beastly slow train" or "old hulk of a boat" which would take them to New YorK , Boston , Philadelphia , any place outside of New London or Now Ilavon ana away from "these blasted , howling Vale men. " It is perhaps use less for me to say that on that day had been rowed the annual eight-oared boat race between llAHVAItl ) AND VAf.K , nnd that the latter had been Victoria us Neither need I mention on which sliln of the contest my sympathies lay , as 1 was ono of the many ill-favored individuals who were waiting for the sound steamer to Now York. I had gone to Now Lon don with the h'rm intention of boreing the readers of the UF.K with n glowing description of the race , the start , the fin ish , the great observation train , the gaud ily bedecked steamers and yachU , anil to wind up with a vigorous throe times three for the victorious crimson , But nol Fate nnd the "Bob Cook stroke" willed it otherwise. Let us pass the racot It is unpleasant to talk of one's own funeral. Perhaps 1 ought also to pass the trio down to New York , but if any of your readers have over gene over the same course on a beautiful July evening under a full moon they will certainly thank me for reminding them of it. But the romance of the thing soon faded away when wo found that thn state rooms had all been engaged nnd that rather than sleep in the close and not always unin habited berths , we were to pass the night on the chairs or floor of the dining saloon. We got Into New York at 8 the next morning , nnd a busy tlmo we had during the next few hours. Wo were to sail for Europe that same afternoon at i ) and had endless littio traps to get together for the voyage. A summer's visit to Europe I hardly know how to treat it. Much has been written on the sumo old subjects , ant then you often hear it remarked that vuwx GOE ; 'rp EHftorE _ _ .m fact ono is rather behind the times who has not been there. It is true that very many of the well-to-do classes of the east have been across the water , but in the busy west the man who has been to Europe is the exception. Being from the west myself 1 send , as it were , to my own neighbors , these hasty and ill-constructed lines , in the hope that they may not bo entirely unworthy of perusal. They will be lines not of deseription al together , nor yet a rehash of guide books or a formidable array of dry facts. They will bo merely a story of the per sonal experiences and impressions of a couple of poor and untitled Americans on a short vacation tour through the most interesting parts of England and the continent , with now and then a hint which may bo of service to any ono who contemplates making the same trip. Necessities for the ocean voyage nat urally como lirst.nnd of these good warm clothing , a heavy winter overcoat , or a steamer rug , which is merely a heavy woolen blanket , and n steamer chair are the most important. The tourists must remember that oven in mid summer the weather on the North Atlantic is apt to be cold. I shall not de scribe the start kisses , tears , handshak ing , "good-byes , " "God bless you's , " waving of Handkerchiefs the same old story , then with a long blast of the whis tle , the Cunard steamship Aurauia backed majestically from the dock and began another voyage across the treacherous ous Atlantic. During the KlOIir DAYS AT &L'A wn had all kinds of weather and sea warm , cold , rough , smooth. For two days the weather was extremely warm , and our heavy wraps were n burden. We could have lind no less breeze and no more sultry air if wo had been going wnst from Now York instead of oast. ! 3utou the morning of the third day there was a change. There was a heavy swell , the wind had risen , and the heavy salt Hpray washed ever the hurricane dock with every ware. "This is the weather for seasickness , " the doctor told me as I name on decK , and I was not loug in loarnitig the truth of his statement. But I shall not dwell on the horrors rors of seasickness. It is enough to say that thcro is nothing which will drive away the fears of ship wreck HO quickly as a few hours of sea sickness. Is even makes one feel as though ho wore bravo enough to jump overboard , or do anything to get away from the horrible , sickening , unceasing , swell , up , down , up , down. Fortunately it is all over in a couple of days , or even soonnr , if ono does not give up to it , and stays bravely on deck in the fresh air. which is the best known rem edy for the disease. Our shin , the Auranla , is ono of the best of probably the best and safest line , the Cunard , which claims the record of never having lost a life. Its galleys do not serve up so many rare delicacies nor any free wine , as is done on the French line , neither do commanders furnish the sweet music of the North German Lloyd line , but the boats are largo and fast , their olli- ccrs and stewards courteous and atten tive , and elegance is everywhere hacri- ticcd to safety , which , after all , is most important. Of the thousand persons on board , live hundred were cabin passengers , and A JOLLY CHOWII they wore. Not altogether unheard of crowd either. Wo had celebrities fiom all the various walks of life , politics , re ligion , linanco , the trades and profes sions. IVrhaps the foremost man in this littio group of well known men was Sen ator Hawley , whoso sturdy form and military moustaches were soon familiar to all. The senator spout a great deal of time on deck , sitting now and then In the smoking room and looking over with a knowing oye. at a littio game of draw poker. The big Dutchman across the table who made fun for the crowd and wus always wanting "droo carts from de op , " seemed to take the smintora ere. Moin hcrr had 1 ( > U of trouble In getting ; ho right number of cards and frequently nquired : "Vat you would do if I lot you run > already,1' but Ins cash box told th story of an experienced hand , Another . gun on board was John 11. Mnokuy , the New York millionaire , who kept very pilot and wasn't much scon by the other . - msscngor.4. When ho did appear a low ' inirmur of "bonan/.a" followed in his wako. The very Nov. Prior Glyun was n giant rcprc5'mtatlan of the priesthood , who l irobably In a bettor statu of mind nnd jody now than when 1 saw him rolling ibutit among the ropes and cables of the ipper deck. The theatrical profession was well rep- osented by Mr. W. T. Carleton and fain- Iv , of the Carlotou opera company , and tlr. George Thorno , who sang last season n Hico's Evuugclliio company. The dug- ng of these two artlits at the concert on. board was enjoyable In the extreme. This concert , with Senator Hawley , la the chair , was ono of the events of the voyage and a snug littio purse was raised ( o bo divided between thn "Liverpool Sciuncns' , Orphango , " * and thn "Homo fur Destitute Children" at Staten bl ind. ind.Chester Chester A. Arthur , son of the late ox- president , and Hichard K. Fox , publisher ind spotting man , are also familiar names which appeared on our list of cabin passengers. Independence day was duly celebrated on board. At breakfast , the rod , white and blue was conspiclousin the costume * of many fair "Aurnnians. " Patriotism ran low during the day on account of the sultry nirand rolling sua , but in the even ing it burst forth in the shape ot lire- Works , speeches nnd the singing ot national songs" . The sight of land was a great pleasure. In spite of the pleasant romance and novelty of an ocean voyage thorn Is much that is disagrccablo. I'irst of all seasick ness which nlono keeps many people from crossing the water and diminishes ocean travel , I am told , at least one-third. Then there Is u con stant feeling of insecurity which i * no slight matter with persons of a nervous temperament especially on their tirst voyage. On the morning of the eighth day wo found everybody on dock gazing with happy and nurious oyns on the rocky coast of South Ireland. Wo stopped t the beautiful harbor of Quoonstown where all the malls and the passengers booked for Ireland were taKen on shorn in a tug. The green fields of the Emerald l. lo made a ueatitlful picture through the gray mist of the morn ing nnd it was hard to Imagine such a place the scone ot so much misery and woo. During the day wo steamed on up through St. George's channel and into the Irish sea. In the evening we could make out the wild Welsh coast far to the right with the hugn crest of Mt. Snowdon , the hlghrat English mountain , towering Into the clouds Wo awoke the next morning to find ourselves in Liverpoolwhence wo Imtno- diately proceeded to Chester , the old Roman town which will bo the subject of my next letter FKANZ SEVRL. A Ohnroh Unlit of Salmon noxes. Portland Orcgoulon : Yesterday morn ing , for the first time In the history of ClTtton , Ore. , religious services were hold there. Dr. T. L. Eliot , pastor of the Uni tarian church , was visiting Messrs. J. W. & V. Cook ; nnd they liastiiy built a "meetin1 house. " It was in thn cannery warehouse. A lot of empty salmon boxes were nsed to make the four walls , open ings being loft for a door in the roar and windows at the sulo. In the front the boxes were piled up so as to form a semi circle , and directly in front of this the pulpit was erected , also of salmon boxes. Boxes likewise served as scats.
