Messrs. J. It. Fumy , Tom Swift , IJob IJalcombc , James Wlnspero nnd other old time Sixth ward residents , with several importations for the occasion , grncocl the meeting with their presence. Mr. Grant was chosen chairman of the meet. ing , and ho called upon Major Furny to address it. The gallant major then took the floor , nnd for forty-llvo mlnucs en larged on the glories nnd benefits that were to bo derived by the people of Florence nnd the neighborhood If tlio citi hall weio built on Jefferson square. He also thought that every citizen in the city ? and doubtless J 1) ) . Furny in particular , would bo con siderably bencltted by the loca tion of the city hall on Jefferson square Mr. Kdwnrd Kosowater followed Major Fu- ray nnd explained most explicitly to the meeting the xvholo situation Ho showed how llio vote of the people had originally brcn given for locating the eltv hall on Par- nain street. How the city council had , by eon upturn and nefarious nmcliinntioiiB , brought about the present complications against the rcol wishes of tlio people and how for spite sev eral of its members were will- inc to sacrillco the best Interests of the city in order to bo revenged Ho asked "Is there honor ! l ttiero Justice' ' Is there lldnllty in attempting to relocate the city hall ) Has not the hoatd of education entered into a contract with the city council and spent thousands of the people's money in building a foundation to n city hull which must now bo sacrificed nnd wasted to satisfy the whim nnd caprice of certain discontented members of tlio council I" Mr. Tom Swift now interposed , and asked that Mr Itosuwntcr discuss the question be fore tlio meeting , Mr Kosmuitor said this was what ho was doing. Ho thought this attempt to relocate the city hall was a breach of faith , not alonu with the beard of education , but xvlth the people from abroad who had come here and invested their money in erecting magnillcont stiuctnics on the un derstanding that the city hall was to bo lo cated on Fnrnam sticct , How could Omaha hope to ho considered hereafter by persons having money to invest I Omaha would be classed among the Impostors. Jli ) said that two thirds of the business of the clt.\ was transacted south of Dodgostioet and that .leflersoa was not ut all u central ilto. It was necessary for the public that the county and city olllcos be close toirother. Oniccrs of ouch department veii frequently , in fact daily wanted to communicate with each other , and if the city hall w.is located on Jellerson square they would bo a half mile apart Ho thought the people of noith Omaha would bo benolltted more by having the city hall on Eighteenth and Far- nain streets tlian on Jefferson square. It was nearer to where they now stood than JelTcr- soii square. A vast majority of the penplo living north of the city lived west of Six teenth street , and Eighteenth and Furnam was consequently nearer to them. The foundation on Jefferson Rqunro could not uo i us good as on Farnam street. There were n few other speeches and the meeting , after adopting a cut and dried , Iof- ferbon squuro lesolution , adjourned.

Ho spoke of life ns ho know It to bo , whether in the Cotter's Satur day nl ht or in the lordly dining hulls. Ho touched the heart , nnd though nt prcaont thiMo seemed to bo n rage for clubs , the memory of Hums would live when Hrowniiitf would bo forgotten. If ho hnti'd an > thinu : It was n hypocrite , nnd If ho loved It was those who sought to bettor these who worked out the behests of our common Father It seemed to bo a presentiment when he. wrote "Westward Turn My Wist ful I yes , " for it was there ho could find these who would ever emlenxor to honor his mem ory. ory.Tho song , "Loch Na Garr , " by A. K. Gray was next on the programme , and was heartily encored. The to.ist of "Tho Land \Ve Loft nnd the Land Wo Live In , " was followed by the orchestra - chostra plajlnc "God Save the Queen" nnd "Tho Star Sptngloil Uannor. " The airs just seemed to suit these present , nnd then J. L Kennedy spoke to the subject. Ho said that the land they left was more than a memory , for every crng. heath nnd Rlcn spoke of the struggle Scotland had uuulo in defense of life , religion , freedom and coun try. The land wu live in was too buby to devote - vote much time to sentiment , and it was left to just such gntnonngs to keep It alive. Burns had taught the brotherhood of man , nnd in u country like Amrrica , man nnd the country will nso side by side. As Scotland wus a land of improvement so Ameiica was a land of progress and prosperity. Its railways connected ocean with ocean and lake with gulf , carrying comfort to millions of happy homos. The man who toils for food In ISb'J may sit in the legislative halls in 1891 , and the poor man of to-day may dictnto what the country needs in a decade. The people were designed by providcnco to carry on and perfect the grandest and greatest government on tlm face of the earth , and it would bo their mis sion to hasten the time when war would bo nn more , and the principles taught by Bums a century ago would be exemplified in ono universal brotherhood of man. Mrs. Cheney sang the "Scottish Emi grant's Farewell , " and by request Mrs. Faulkonor Hang an old-time Scottish ballad , both ladies being encored. Mr. Sauudors rendered "Scots Wha "Hae " , " and was called hack , and Miss Jessie McClelland brought down the house with a moro modern ballad. She , too , received an cncoro whicu was as hem tv as it was well deserved , and again favored the audience. "Tho Press" was the last toast , nnd was responded to by Victor 1C. Honder. Paying n ti ibuto to these who had already spoken , ho referred to the honor conferred on the press by bqing placed on tlio programme of an entertainment to celebrate the anniver sary ot Hobert Burns. Ho pointed out the difference between talent nnd versifying , genius and mediocrity , and showed that the genuine newspaper man appreciated that difference. Ho closed with an eloquent peroration , and was loudly ap plauded. Mr. Northop sang "Tho March of the Cameron Men , " and ho , too , V.MS cncoicd , and then Alexander Campbell , of Council Bluffs danced the - ' " in , -'Highland Fling" cos- tninu , and the lloors wore cleared for dancing. This was kept up until the "weo siua' hours , " when at last all joined in singIng - Ing "AulJ Lang Syne , " and Omaha's tribute to the memory of Itobort Burns was paid. THE UAIIjltOAD PRESIDENTS. Tlicy Atfaln Discuss tlio Now Inter state Acrcoinent. CHICAGO , Jan. 25. The second day's ses sion of the railroad presidents was attended by representatives of all the lines except the Illinois Central. Several of the rules were amended. The rule making the arbitrators' ' decision flnal on rate questions was amended so as to allow any road not satisfied with the award of the arbitrators to make such rates as it may elect after ten days' notice. The agreement , as now amended , is be lieved to bo satisfactory to the interested roads , and it now remains , to agree on tariff rates to bo covered. A committee of live was appointed to consider this matter. It is thought that the Illinois Central will act in unison with other roads , as the company is very conservative. IMcGIynu Replies to tlio Archbishop. NKW YOKK , Jan. 25. Kay. Dr. McGlynn has to-night given out an open letter to Arch bishop Corrignn , of about two columns In length , in reply to the proclamation read la the churches last Sunday , denouncing Dr. McGlynn and his anti-poverty society , nnd warning Catholics that their attendance at such meeting * would constitute a "reserved case , " meaning that communion would bo de nied them. Dr. McGlynn protests against it , nnd explains at length what his society Is and refers to the archbishop's mind ns "Illogical nnd narrow , " und closes by stating that the archbishop's declaration of attend- unco at their meetings as a reserved case has no theological value. Catholic theology teaches , ho says that there can bo no reserve - servo case without a grievous sin. There- lore , Corrlgun had no authority in the mat ter. Seoflcld Flics An Assignment. ST.

" The Mnro AVim Something like eight miles south of tills place is n small stream called Wnr- ron crook , emptying into Spring river from the east , says n Uaxter correspondent. A good many people go down to that creek every year to visit certain- old depressions and shafts in the ground known nsthc Spanish minus , from n tradition which says that Do Solo's men once dug out slhor ore there. As the wayfarer leaves Jim Charley's ford and starts ui > the north erly bunk of the crock he passes an old hlump ncaf the corner of nn Indian's little corn Held.

The reckoning , should the wayfarer pursue the subject , will be found to be correct. The llnest herons in the Indian Tt > rri- tory six years ago wore owned by Dare Poery. Ho has taken less interest in horses sihco then , however. 1'cery wasawhito man , who was adopted by the Peorlns when ho was a hoy. lie subsequently married the daughter of HnpUsto Peoria , the chief of th tribe , nml became n man of importance union tr the Indians. lie had a love of line horses , and as his wealth increased ho spared neither pains nor money in ob taining llrht-elni-s , blue-grabs stock from Kentucky. Although it is likely that his best would have had but small chauco at Sneopshoad Bay or Mon- inouth. yet hero they were wonders. Tlio Honor of the lot was u bay mare called Prairie flower. At four years of ago bho was the pride and delight of every Indian at the Quapau agency , and not a buck among them but would wager his last pony and the hat on his head that she would distance anything west of the Misbissinpi in a inilo dash , or in two miles , for that matter. The fame of Prairie Flower spread until it reached Kansas City and ctiino to the ears of the men who tire called bports.and who straightway determined to see what could bo done 'in the way of skinning the backers of Prairie Flower. A trusted jockey wus sent down to look at her , and when ho got back ho made the hearts of the sports glad by saying that while the mare could do every thing that was said of her that she could out run anything owned in Kansas , City , at least bho nevertheless was groomed by n white man , ono Alfred Sully , who , fern n reasonable share of the sluices , would fix the mure to loso. Thereupon the sports sat down and waited until a day had been sot for what the Indians call a payment. A lot of money wiis duo from the Great Father ntWtiahiugton.and on a certain day the agent would count it out to them. It was easy for the sports to arrange iv race for Prairie Flower and an unknown from Kansas City /or the day after the payment , the stakes being $500 a side. That was a great day for the Indians. It was a great day for the sports. The course was laid oil on the open prairie , with the finish at the Peoria school hou-,0. The grass was burned oil a few days in advance , and when the time came the turf was in flue condition. The Indians , in their lincst apparel nnd with the money received the day before stuffed in their pockets , gathered to see the sport. Old Perry , confident of vic tory , backed his mare for $1,000 above the stakes. Jim Charley , jr. , who had a short time before got a big lump of money for some land ho had owned in Kansas City , hacked her for 82,000. Strung along below those were wngors of hundreds , and so on down to tens and ones and jack knives and brass rings. Over $10,000 of good money was put up on Prairie Flowor. Then the horses were brought out amid the hi-yi's and cheers of a throng of men , women and children , number ing , it is said , upward of 3,000 people. The excitement was intense. Poory's own son , , a lad of light weight and great skill , rode the mare. The unknown , to the disgust of the Peorins , was bestrode - strode "u " and the solo by nigger , rea son they did not double their bets was the fact that they had already put up everything that they could induce any one to hot a value on. Finally , on the lir&t try , the racers got oil , with Prairie Slower slightly in the lead. For over a furlong she drew steadily ahead. The Indians , who wore spurring their ponies in a mad gallop along , parallel witi ] the truck , in the hope of seeing every jump in tlvo race , began to go wild. As the maro's head showed clear they yelled. Then her nock , then her shoulders bhowod , and when , just short of the quarter-post , she was soon to ho an entire length in the lead , they thr.TW oil hats and coats and acted like \ \ itches witli a saint in the corral. Then something happened. The Indians had been having nil the fun. It was tlio white man's turn iw\v. But the white man , especially if from Kan sas City , was keening still. The un known began to hold its own , and at the half was hipping a neck , but there wasn't any more cheering' . At the throe-quarter post Prairie Flower had not only lost her pace , she was plainly in distress. The unknown finished hy six good lengths' ahead. Had Prairie Flower boon owned in any other country than the Indian Territory , and had any other people than Indians been backing her , there would have boon trouble right away on that race track. The swindle was barefaced. The mare had been drugged. But the Indians had been so often swindled by white men that they allowed the sports to ride awny without oven making a protest , They were afraid to say anything. But , although they lost their money , they were not wholly without revenge , There aroao vorysoou after the race an inquiry for Sully. Sully had not boon scon about the truck slnco ho tunica the mare over o her jockey , young Pcory. Runners started in every di rection to search for him. Among them was Jitn Charley , ! r. , with a party of u doicn. They went down past Charley's house , and began a search up and do\vn the West river bank. They were joined by others. All night long they prowled through the timber with out success , At daylight they crossed over. Within fifteen minutes they hud found iv trail where Sully , who hud entered - terod and loft the water without botray- iug himself , had returned during the night for u drink. Instead of living under cover of darkness for the Mis souri line ho had hoped to hide in the brush till the search was over. His thirst had hotrayod him. Once on the trail , ,11m Charley and his band followed straight to a thicket near the brow of the cliff on the north aide of AVnrreu creek. There they Hushed their game. Sully was soon flying through the thicket. A bullet from Jim Charley's rifle struck him In the back as ho started down the precipitous bank , away ho went headlong , plunging nnd tumbling from rock to rock am lodge to teilgo , until his body lodged against the old stump which is pointed out to the wayfarer bound along the trail there to the old Spanish mines , "There's a feller buried there , Ho got killed. I reckon. " "Tho follor" was dead before his body reached the stump. The Indians dug n grave beside the old stump , just out ol the trail , tumbled the body into it atut piled on the dirt. Where the dead man onmo from , or whether ho had any rel atives or friends elsewhere , nobody knows , and , oxconl for such jms inir'in- torosl as the wayfarer may fcol , nobody cares.

By an arrangement with the Pastors' union of Columbus , O. , ono member is detailed each week to open the hottboof representatives with prayer. Ono week Roy. Francis M. Mnr&ten acted in that capacity , and created a sensation by his allusion to members. A bill to reduce railway fares to " cents per milo was ro- cently'dofoated , owing to the charge of the distribution of passes among the members.
