There was a largo at tendance and the occasion was a lively one. The costumes , as a rule , wore the most grotesque seen at any mascjuorado hero this season , and the maskers en joyed themselves fully as much as Uid the spectators. The beautiful broken column which appeared among the lloral tributes at ] ) r. Stillmun's funeral was prepared by X. . A. Caspar , the llorist. It was com posed entirely of double white prim roses. Other ( lowers were used in the trimmings about the column and about the base. It was one of the IInest lloral designs over produced here , and was the tribute of his brother physicians of this city and Onitiliu.

Mr. M. Buhlcr , or "Mike , " as he is familiarly known over tv territory big enough for an empire. The va cancy has been filled by Mr. Drake , son of S. J. Drake , the general western manager of the company at Omaha. Mr. Buhlcr's retirement from the business hero will bo very generally rcgro'ttod.

Serious Charge Agilitst a KalliMi Hrothcr A Wrecked Home Tlio Day In Court. A Mock Marriage. A girl giving the name of Mary Sutton - ton appeared at the olllco of County At torney Organ Wednesday evening and entered a complaint against one Jack Smith and Samuel Andrews , charging them with inveigling her into n mock marriage , The girl , who is an orphan , has boon living for several months with her uncle , James T. Lane , near the Northwestern roundhouse. About three months ago , it is said , Brown began to visit her , and continued his visits , al though the girl was nth-hod to have nothing to do with him. Matters con- tinuck in this way until Tuesday even ing , when Brown invited the girl to take a walk. They loft the house , and the girl did not return until the follow ing morning , when the btutod that she was married on the previous evening to Brown. Her story of the marriage was thai tlioy entered a room on the second floor of a block on Main street , over a saloon known as the Red Front , and wore there met by a stranger to her , but who was evidently acquainted with Brown. Ho was introduced to her asSamuol Audcr- fcon. a justice of the peace. The marriage - riago ceremony was quickly performed , the only words being "I pronounce you two husband and wife. " ' The bogus jttstlro soon departed. Brown disap peared early in the morning , and the girl returned to her uncle's house. She told her story to Mr. Lane , and he told her that she had boon duped. She be came convinced of it. and lil d a com plaint as above stated. Warrants were issued and both men wore soon arrestud by Sheriff O'Neil. Brown was found at Lane's house in the evening , and An drews , alias Anderson , was arrested at the Mcrriiun block , where he was at work as a roofer. Miss Button is about twenty-two years of ago , and has always been a quiet , well behaved young woman. She has been compelled to work for a living , and has boon engaged as a domestic in several places in the city. The case was presented to the grand jury yester day. The two prisoners arc still cou- llnud in the county jail , no bail having been fixed for their appearance. Brown is apparently forty years of ago , but might appear several years younger if properly washed. IIo bears anything but an enviable reputation. Andrews is a young man of about twenty-five , and seems to treat the whole affair as a huge joko. He denies any criminal action. Miss Button visited the Jail twice yesterday to see Brown , but hoi- visits were of short duration. Mr. Lane states that his niece has been ' 'all fight , only in a rush to got married , and now faho has made a pretty mess of it. " Sleigh bolls , sleds and skates at cost t'o close out.

O'Con nor , nnd lodged in jail on the charge of assaulting the ton-year-old daughter of. " "Salvation" Walker , about six weeks ago. The father of the chil'.l stated that Cox , who has been acquainted with the family for some time , visited the house at the time stated. The cUildron wcro the only ones at homo , and Cox took ad vantage of this fact , although two younger brothers boat him with a poker and sticks of wood. Cox then disap peared , and his whereabouts wore un known until Wednesday , when ho was arrested while returning to the farm of J. A. Murphy , where ho is employed. Walker .says that ho said nothing of the matter before , as the follow had gone , and ho waited to locate him. The little girl tolls asimihir story , and gives a very clear account of the whole dis gusting affair. Dr. M. .T. Bollongor was summoned to make an examination of the child Wednesday , und ho states that there is every reason to believe the girl's story. The case was presented to the grand jury , and that body yesterday returned an indictment against Cox. Attention l''lrnincn.

Among the cases considered by the grand jury was one against E. A. Ray mond. It scorns that sornn time ago Silas A. and Sarah L.

However , after a while there was a change , and the happy homo was broken up.rlho wife hud gone with a handsomer man , who is the defendant in the case just insti tuted. Raymond and the Robinson woman , it Is asserted , have boon living together for some time on East Pierce street , and there was not the slightest indication of an approaching storm. Wednesday Mr. Robinson came to this city from Omaha , and quite by accident mot his wifo. She stated that she had bcon anxious to return to him for some time , hut was deterred by fear of Ray mond. The couple visited the court house , and the husband preferred a charge against Raymond. The case was laid before the grand jury , and Raymond was taken into custody.

Dono- ghuo , has lately been winning laurels for himself and his country by his won derful skating in Holland anil Ger many. Ills homo is in Newburg , N. Y. , and hn is but a lad of bevcntocn. Ho wont to Kuropo under the charge of President Sachs of the Manhattan Ath letic club of New York , and has met and conquered the champion skaters ot Europe and Amsterdam and Hamburg.

Donoghuo won the third match in the interna tional championship skatintr competi' lion. Dohoghuo covered two miles in 0 min , 21 sec ; Vou Pauschln. the Rus sian , was second jtn ( > min , 31 sec. The championship of the world could not bo decided , as Von Pau- sohin , who won the llrst and second events , failed to secure the third. Donoghuo's time , 0 min 21 sec , beats the world's record for distance by 21 seconds. The previous best ama teur record was ( J min 5(5 ( l-o sec , by Alexander Paulson. The previous best professional record was 0 min 15 sac. by Hugh McCormick. On the 13th hist. , at Amsterdam , Van Paiischin beat Donoghuo by one-fifth of n second in the mile , making the fastest time on rec ord , 2 min o" .sec. The young Ameri can then hastened to Hamburg , arriv ing there just in time to take part in the race for the Hamburg cup. on the 15th. Though greatly fatigued from his long journey , ho won the race and the prize , defeating all the German champions. The day following ho won the ladies' gold cup , skating live miles , mak ing the fastest time on rec ord. This news was jubilantly received at the young cham pion's home in Newherg , and ho will have u grand reception upon his return. The boy has never before been in races when his closest friends have not bcon present , and now , in a strange land and without an acquaint ance except the gentleman who went over with him. hii work is considered marvelous. It ih all the more so bo- cnnso he had no ice , and consequently no practice , when the first contest with von Pniibchin took place. The Spirit of the Times publishes * an extract from a private letter from Timothy Donoghiie , sr. , himself an old-tithe champion skater , in which ho ' ays of bib boy : "As for as wo have now heard , Joe's trip sums up as follows : He has won three races and lost three. Ho has beaten the champions of England. Hol land , Sweden and Germany , and has won all his races at dUtiincos of one mile. Ho has been beaten only at half a mile and a mile , and only by one skater , the Russian champion. I think wo have no reason to bo ashamed of our boy , and I have only this to say : If Joe does not boat von Pan chin'at a mile this winter I will send him to Christi- iiniii , Norway , next October ; let him stay there until ho gets all tiie practice be wants , and then send him to St. Petersburg and have him try Mr. Von Paiischin at home.

HIM Client's Sisters , Consinn anil AniiH ( lnslHtcil Upon Kissing IJm. { Ex-Judgo John Henry McCarthy , he who was recently elected to congress , had a novel experience yesterday in the city court , says the New York \\rorld. Ho had boon defending a client , John Rivkot , against a $10,000 suit for breach of promise preferred by a Miss Sarah Laiigman , a buxom young lady of 200 pounds weigh. It was proved that Rivkot had promised to marry the girl , but she could not swear ho had over re fused to keen his promise. On this basis the case fell through and was dis missed. "Oh ! ah ! dcah ! " you , good man ex claimed the elated defendant as ho made a bee-lino towards his counsel , and before the nervous congressmen know what was coming ho was clasped in a pair of masculine arms'and smack1 ! smack ! smack ! ho received three kisses right on the check. The little congressman was dazed and Judge Ehrlich looked tickled. "Urn ! u-r-r ! u-r-rl y-u-m ! " ejacu lated a pretty little woman with pink cheeks and Mossy hair and lots of sparkle in her eye as she throw her arms around the astonished congress man's neck and planted half a dozen perfumed kisses right whore they be longed , The little congressman looked pained , and silently appealed to the court for protection , but got none. This little woman was Rivket's sister , Um ! ( kiss ) o-o-o-o-h ! ( kiss ) yumkiss ! ( , kiss ) , you ( Kiss ) dear ( kiss ) sweet ( kibs ) , pretty ( kiss , kiss ) , good ( kiss ) man ! The little congressman had now gained his second wind , lost his pain ful blush and decided to go in for all the fun to bo had. Two more pretty girls sidled up to the smiling legal gentleman and planted their offerings on his pink lips. Than two aunts and one cousin joined the procession and tried to hug and kiss him all at once. Then ho yelled for help , and Court Officer Levy , who had boon an inter ested witness , rushed to his rescue as he saw Rivkot pore approaching with his withered lips puckered into an un- plucked kiss. Levy was kissed for his trouulo. Some ono yelled , "Break awayl" and with n hound the congress man boat a hasty retreat , Than there wore some more indiscriminately aimed kisses , which caught the couit olllcers unawares. By this time Judge Ehrlich had re covered his own and the court's dignity and rapped for order , which was at last restored , but not until the actors in the little farce had boon roundly applauded , "Does your mother know you'ro out , " said a boy to his little brother , "Yes , she does.

" "Not without a grunt deal ol labor. Von could llguro It out yourself as ( illicitly and nccurntcly as wo could. Thuro are no large business establishments north of Dodge struct , excepting the barb wire works , a few warehouses and the Woodman Linseed Oil Works. The hitler hns come down to the business center to do business nnd now occu pies n suit of rooms in the First National batik building. Tlio streets north devoted to business nro contlned to throe , while the streets south utilized for the same purpose nro too numerous to nnino off-hand. " The participants in this conversation were Omaha attache of Dun's n prominent com mercial nucncy and a Hue representative in quest of city lull Information. "Take the business streets north nnd south , nnd let us sco wlint they are,1' contin ued the commercial man. "With Dodge as the dividing line we have North Sixteenth street as far as Nicholas , Cumins from Six teenth to Twcnty-tourth , nnd Twenty-fourth north until business ends with the struggling stores on the outskirts. Apninst those tlirci1 streets on the south of Dodge is the actual business center of tliocit.vboundcd by Dodge on t'ic ' north , Howard on the south. Ninth struct on the east , and Twentieth street on the west. St. Mary's avenue is a business thoroughfare as far west ns Twentieth , and at the apex of the hill is another business community extendintr from Phil Sheridan street to 1'iirk nvcnuo. Sixteenth south is a business thoroughfare , four three-story briuk business buildings having buun completed nnd occupied within the present month. Twentieth street is also well represented. Thirteenth street south is a business thor oughfare , studded OH the west Hiilo with stores until you reach Center streutl and more or less used by business houses until you reach Sixteenth and Vinton streets. Tenth sttreut is business of the liveliest description from Fnrlinm street to the depot. In.ttio vicinity of Tenth nud Lcavcuworth streets are centralized all the immense jobbing , houses of Omaha. After you cross the tracks nnd turn to the cast on Pueille street" you will see looming up some of the largest agricultural ware houses in the country , extending down to the Missouri river. Jly avocation brings me in contact with the business men of Omaha , great and small , cvei'i ; day of the year. I go out among them and talk with them. Fonrtuen-fifttcenths of-tlio annual business of the cit.v is down between Dodge street nnd the Union P.icillo track , and the biiuie pro portion of business men want the city lull erected on the present Bite. " During the conversation a Icadinir whole sale merchant entered ! in search of informa tion furnished it's subscribers by Dun's agency. Ho joined in and listened to the fncts as related above. "I am surprised at the foolish claims set up by the Jefferson square advocates.1 ho said. "Thoy say that the square is ttio busi ness center of the city. 1 livu north and traverse Sixteenth street two or three times cacti day. For some time wo Imvo had two banking houses on that thoroughfare the Uunk of Com merce on Sixteenth und California and the Douglas County bank on Sixteenth and Chicago streets in the Estnbrook block , di rectly opposite the square. If Jefferson square is the business center of tiie city why is the Douglas County bank going to vae.ito the Estabrook building and move south Into thu Kirkcndnll building on thu southeast corner of Sixteenth nnd Dodge i If Jefferson square is the business center of the city why did the Barker Uros. , who are heavy stock holders of the 13ank of Commerce , erect that inngniliccut bunk building on the corner of Fifteenth and Farnnm streets , move their banking business awny from the 'business center' und Ic.ive nothing behind them but a mere brunch institution , whore deposits are received and checks cashed for the 'conven ience'of Sixteenth street retailers ! JelTer- so.n-Squnro-Hoomur-County-Tre.isurer Henry 13olln is a director of the Dunk of Commerce. Perhaps ho can explain it. Hanks never move nway from the business center. " "Another claim they-set up is n ridiculous one , " ho proceeded. "Thoy urge the erec tion of the cit.v hull on Jefferson squure and the parking und ornamention of thu the un occupied ground for a recreation place for the people. Now , mine has been n busy nnd varied commercial career. I tun well along in years now but in my younger days I worked in ninny of the leading cities of the country. I was employed in n largo commercial house m New York city during the Tweed regime , when the city hull was erected thoro. My employer's house was on Vandewiitur street on the east side , and it wits my duty ouch day to makn several trips across town and transact some business with houses located along the North river. The city hall park in New York city was intended for a resort for the people who live huddled together in the crowded business district be tween Canal strcutand the llnttery , out they never USD it. It Is occupied day und night by the riff-ruff nnd scum of society. He- spcctability never resorts to it for fear of the polluting presence of the bums and vermin- covered vagrants who sleep 'between drinks' ns it were , on the benches , while the park policeman is making his rounds. If n re spectable family wants to enjoy n few hours of fresh air , instead of going to the city hall park they take the elevated road and in u few minutes uro whirled ontto Central park. The sumo result will obtain hero if the city hall is erected on Jefferson square. The park surrounding T it will bo the rendezvous of the loxv elements of society , The pollco court loafers nnd bums will ren der it obnoxious by day , nnd during the night it will bo the tr.vsting-plnco for prosti tutes nnd faithless wives a regular assigna tion resort. That hns been the result In every city I know of where the public build ings nro similarly located. " "Another point I wish to call your atten tion to. It is the general impression among the property owners | u the immediate vicin ity of the square that , the location of the city hall thcro Is going to run the value of their holdings up until the market prlco will equal that of property facing on Dodgo. Farnam , Douglas or Unrnoy streets. I will admit it will increase the vuluo of their property some , but Just the difference bo- twccn the value ofproperty for residence purposes nnu Us value as sites for low grog , gorius and shyster pollco court lawyers' ofllces. You can't 'got the heavy business men up there , nor can you got lomtntH for oftlcc buildings If they are erected there , The city hall in itself Is not a sunlclent in- ducomcnt. The Farnam street site Is quito different. Property In that vicinity now hus a market value firmly established , which precludes the possibility of erecting anything but the highest class of buildings , There Is no ( lunger there of having the city hull surrounded by dives und groggcrlos , for the rents will bo so high they could not iimlto both ends moot. The mon who will erect buildings thcro will be careful with regard to tr.o character of thu men they louse to , and hcnco only desirable business and pro fessional men will bo tha immediate neigh bors of the city and county ofllululs. " "I am loaded with objections , young man , " ho said , addressing TUB HUB representative , 'and if you will hear mo out on ono move , 1 am UnouKh for the present , I am opposed to locating the city ball on Jefferson square on I account of the close proximity of the railroad tracks , lieforo the construction of the 13elt line It was not so bad , but since it hau run its tracks within one block I fcur there vrillbo further encroachments , The licit line strike : California street nt Twelfth nnd continnc < tip that thoroughfare as far ns Fourteenth. There It cuts diagonally m-ross block S reaches Fifteenth street and continue * or north and west out of the city. On Cnllfor nin street n spur runs from Fourteenth tc ; Fifteenth. Tno northeast corner ol Jefferson square is Cuss nnd Fifteenth streets , just ono hloclc nwny from the licit rond's main track. Did you over know of a railroad hesitating .n moment when It cntno to the conclusion that It wanted to tic- quire more ground for sldo-trncits or yard purposes ) Some du.v the Holt line hero will cover block ! K , and when it wants It it will get it. That will bring them directly across the street from the squnrc , nnd what n mcdly of discordant sounds will greet thu curs of our city officials when the engines toot , the bells clung nnd the cars hump together. Fur- nam street hns ono advantage , nt lonsl the railroads will never encroach on that terri tory. " The little party sciurated , TUB Hnn re porter was satisilcd with city hull fncts fof thnl sitting. OP THIS HA'MH OPINION. The Ilitliuicc ot'llonrtl or Trade Mem- liors AuriM ) With the Mnjtirlty. The followlngl-omplctes the list of mem bers of the board of trade who have been seen In reference to the city hull location : W. A. Ij. ( llbbon-Tlmt question will bo settled February 6 by n vote of the people , ami I shall feel satisfied with their verdict. I rccrct. that the subject appears to bo drifting into too much personality , us every ono has n right to his opinion , and I recognize that sonic of our best nnd most worthy citizens are to be found on both sides. Ihuvuan abid ing faith in Omaha's future greatness , and when we have iiOO.OOO population , seven- eighths of that population will reside west of Twentieth street. I believe that wo will reach tlmt point within tun years. The large hotels , theaters , and retail business houses will naturally follow the population on some great central thorough fare running cast and west. In thu erection of costly public build ings some reasonable estimates should bo made of the future. To ulucc the city hall east of Sixteenth Would be a retrograde movement for Onialia. The entire bunch of Innd east of the hills or bluffs , and between the Union P.iclllc trucks and Florence , con tains less than six square miles , the most of which in time must be used for railroad } , factories and business houses , and a square mile with a family of live on every tft.\-foot ! lot will accommodate only 15,000 people. So it requires no extra wisdom to foretell where the great muss of our population must locate , and I believe the people will so decide and loc.ito the city hull on Farnitm street. 1C. K. French I favor the Furnam street situ for thu reason that much money has been spent there tor a foundation , nnd it is more nearly central. Then , too , such people as the Now York Lifo Insurance company and Mr. Hosowatur hnvo Invested money up theru in good faith nnd with our assurances that the city hull was to bo located there , and I tninlt we should go ahead und fulllll our promises. Further. I object to Jefferson squnrc being used for building purposes , but think it should be retained us n public park , as wo huvu fuw enough of them now. Al my property interests arc north , und I wouli derive moro benefit from the hall being lo catcd at Jefferson .square. Louis Mendulsshon 1 don't wisn to say what I think , hut I have arrived at a decision 1 may say , however , that having just urrivci from tno cast , where 1 have seen greater de vclopements in nrt and improvements that we possess , I should huto very much to see our parks built over. Although they bo small they might bo beautilicd , und would act as breathing spaces for the city. F. E. Winning t nrcfcr the Farmim street site. Somu of the finest building in the city have boon erected in that vicinity because of the location thnie of the city hall. William .1. Wolshtins I am in favor of the Farnnin street site every time. John F. Mohm On the old site by al mentis , as it would bo an imposition on people plo who have been induced to put up costly buildings on Farnnin street with the under standing that the building was to bo located there. This b.ibv act they are trying to piny has already hurt the city among Chicago capitalists. Clement Chase Why , great heavens , the old site , principally because of the conven ience to lawyers and business men afforded by its proximity to the county building. If some good statistician , like General Test , should make a computation of the cost to sole leather worn out by people having to run between the county building and Jeffer son square it would be simply enormous. Al. S. Lindsay I favor Farnam struct. I bcliovein centralizing the public buildings of any city ns a matter of convenience to the public patrons. Thcro are numerous in stances where a person has business which necessitates the visiting of both the city and county buildings , nnd for , tliis reason they should bo located closely together. Charles Lobcck I hnvo already sanctioned the site of the city hall on Farnnin street , nnd im In favor of that location , or any where In that vicinity. It is more conven ient to the public than that of Jefferson square. W. G.Shrivcr Eighteenth and Farnam is the proper -place. Daniel H. Wheeler The F.irnam site is nearer the heart of the city than Jefferson square , mid the city hall ought to boon that site. site.Thomus J. Hogcrs The Fnrnam street silo is the most central of any site that can now be found. 1 shall do everything honorable that is in my power to secure thnt locution. George C. Towlo The city hull should ho in the immediate vicinity ot the court house. Lorenzo II. Williams If 1 wcio to consult my own interests I would vote for Jefferson square , but the Interests of thu poojilo rc- qulro that the building should remain on its present site. S. Schleamgor I think it should bo huilt where they started it , und so save the money already spent. It is close to the county buildings , as it should be.
