How Blnnnwn. Celebrated.
Thursday was without question the great
est day in the history of Manawa , the differ
ence in the appearance of the lake between
the latest celebration of the national holiday
nnd that of n year ngo being very marked ,
The crowd began to assemble early In the
mprnlnir , but it was not until nearly noon
that the grand rush commenced. From
about 11 o'clock until nftcr 7 in the evening ,
the stream of humanity continued to ilow
toward the lake. Arriving there , the crowd
divided , a part going across the lake , others
to the grounds of the Schuetzcn vorcln ,
some to Athletic park , nnd the remainder
staying on the grounds around the hotel.
It was estimated that there wore fully six
thousand people at the lake , and these figures
nro undoubtedly very nearly correct , us the
motor line carried 4,180 passengers from the
city to the lake , nnd at least two thousand
either drove down In private conveyances or
patronized the hack find 'bus lines. The
motor line was unable to furnish transporta
tion during the afternoon to all who desired
! o go to the lake , and every train left from
twenty to fifty would bo passengers standing
jn the platform nt the dummy depot , unnblo
to find oven standing room on the heavily
loaded cars.
An athletic programme had been prepared
Tor the afternoon at the park , nnd was wit
nessed by several hundred people. A glove
contest , bicycle race , sprinting race , nnd sev
eral similar numbers wora on the pro
gramme.
The grand barbecue was ono of the princi
pal features of the day. A largo ox was
roasted and served up to the hungry visitors
about U o'clock.
Very early in the day it was evident that
the lawless element , comprising the sports
and toughdom generally , was to hold high
carnival on the sonth side of the lake , nnd
the greater part of the respectable element
cither remained on the north sldo or merely
wont across the lake for a ride on the steam
ers nnd returned without landing. The
steamers did the largest business tlicy have
over done , and had all the patrona&o that
they could handle without inconvenience- .
There was but ono thoroughly disgusted
and homesick man to bo seen , and that was
Captain Vie Keller , of the steamer Nellie
IColler. His boat broke a casting on the first
trip of the day. and the skipper had to tic u
and watch the rival boats carrying hundreds
and thousands of passengers back and forth
until long after midnight , while he concealed
his chagrin mid disappointment as best ho
could.
The bath houses were well patronized ,
several hundred heated patriots disporting
themselves in the water , both at Manhattan
and Manawa beaches during the afternoon
and evening.
The motor line , steamers and bath houses
wore not the only enterprises that enjoyed n
liberal patronage , however , as the hotel
scored its greatest success since its erection.
It is reported that nearly 800 people were
fed there , nnd In the evening the dining
room was not cleared until after 10 o'clock.
The parlors , balconies , halls and every room
in the hotel were all occupied to their fullest
capacity.
Everything passed off quietly until after
dork , with the exception ot two or three
little "scraps" on the south shore. It is to
bo regretted that the scenes of the evening
were such as to cast a deep shadow of dis
credit over the doings of the entire day.
ThlS cannot bo suld of the north side of the
lake , where everything was as orderly and
well conducted as could bo desired , oven up
to the time that the last motor loft , when
the toughs , returning from the other side ,
created a momentary disturbance , which
was the only one of the day.
The dance at the hotel in tlic evening was
highly enjoyable and was participated in by
several scores of dancers. Across the lake
the most disgraceful orgias were indulged in
by about two thousand men nnd women. A
great many of them were intoxicated.
It was n sight that shocked and dis
gusted hundreds of the men who saw it.
Scenes were there enacted openly n descriu-
tion of which is totally unlit for'publication.
Prom Manhattan beach to Wripht's land
ing was a stream of howling , intoxicated
creatures of both sexes. It was impossible
to step from the path without stumbling over
the urostrate form of some beer-laden indi
vidual sleeping oft the effects of his or num
erous and deep potations. It was a scene
that probably none who saw it over saw its
equal before , or will euro to witness again.
It would bo impossible to fully comprehend
the situation without seeing it as it actually
existed.
This is ono of the objectionable features
that led those interested ut the lake to peti
tion for the incorporation of the now town of
Manuwu. and it is safe to predict that after
such incorporation is effected there will not
bo a repetition of Thursday's wild orlgies.
Officers will bo on the ground to promptly
put a stop to such proceedings , and lawless
ness will not bo tolerated. Unless this is
done the south sldo of the lake may as well
bo given over to the toughs and dedicated to
their disgusting carousals. Ono man is not
enough to keep order , nnd the attempt to dose
so can result in little less than the most dis
heartening failure.
The motor trains to the city during the
evening were densely packed. Considering
the Immense crowd It is a wonder that no ac
cidents resulted. Whenever incoming trams
pulled into the depot at the lake hundreds of
people would rush forward , seizing the railing
and running fi'ong ' beside the cars , in order
to secure n scat when the train stopped.
Nothing but the greatest vigilance on the
part of the train men prevented serious if not
fatal injury to many of the excited passengers.
The crows of the motor trains were se
verely taxed to handle the crowds. Engi
neer Mikcsell and Fireman Wricht displayed
commendable energy and patriotism by the
handsome decorations which they placed
upon their motor aud train.
The only serious row of the evening was
that upon the lust motor I'rom the lake , leav
ing shortly before SS o'clock. Among the
passengers wore Jimmy Llndsoy , the middle
weight pugilist , Patsy Fullon and several
other Omaha sports , and it was from this
gang that the trouble emanated. Lindsay
had taken part in a glove contest at the lake
during the afternoon , nnd had wound up the
day by getting partially intoxicated. Just as
thd train loft' the lake Lindsoy , who hud
been making quite n disturbance , turned
around and struck a young man standing on
the steps n blow on the chin , tumbling him
over into the weeds , nnd the train ran on nnd
loft him , Llndsoy then turned tils attention
to cleaning out the entire train of live
coaches. He smashed right and loft Indis
criminately , and there wore soon several
black eyes and bloody noses to bo seen.
Ladies screamed and began a wild rush
over the backs of seats aud from car to carte
to get out of the way of the drunken bully.
Everybody was terrorized , and the men all
seemed afraid to got In the way of the pugi
list. Several parlies who tried to quiet him
were knocked down for their interference ,
and mill the ball wont on. The train was
stopped fully twenty times , and at every
stop tilndsoy would got out and dare the
whole crowd to como out and light him.
Women were insulted and pushed off the
curs by the Intoxicated brute The train
stopped at Third avenue and the police wore
sent for. Ofllccrs Cusick and Beswick were
soon on hand , and took the starch out of the
Nebraska terror in a hurry. A few of his
friends bristled up and insisted on going his
ball , but the nervy ofllcors would not have it
that way , and the gang skipped tor the other
nldo of the river to escape broken heads.
Among those who were brutally assaulted
by Lmdsoy wore Will Chenowith , James
O'Brien aud William Connor. Lindsoy was
dropped into the hole , aud u number of In
formations have been tiled against him.
All the parties assaulted huvu tiled charges
of assault and battery , and will prosecute
Lindsoy as far ns possible. Ho was yester
day lined (9.00 on tuo city charge of dis
turbing the poace. Ills night's fun will
probably cost him about * 50. with possibly a
term In jail. The case will bo prosecuted to
the fullest extent , and Lindsoy will un
doubtedly discover that InsulMng ladies by
wholesale is rather unprofitable business *

Notwithstanding tbut th Chautauqua
assembly closed Thursday night , the grounds
woroby ho moans deserted yesterday J In
fact , It was a very lively day there until well
along toward evening. It was the inaugura
tion of the grand clearing up process that is
to rcmovo all traces of the camp lifo there
for the past thrco weeks. A line of drays
was passing In and out of the grounds during
the onttro day , bearing awny , the bapgago
nnd household utensils that had been IrTs'ucli'
steady demand by the "dwellers in tents. "
The work of taking down the tents was
commenced early In the day , nnd nearly all
ot them have been folded away. Several of
the tents wore sold to visitors , nnd of ihcso
quite a number are yet standing. It will bo
but n short tlmo until nil traces of the recent
lively scones there- will bo removed , und the
tabernacle will bo loft alone to stand guard
over the desolated and depopulated grounds.
Several of the camping parties did not leave
until yesterday , the young Indies In tent No.
SO , Pnrudiso How , being the last to loavo.
There were six of these young ladles , Misses
Ida Wallace , WInnIn Crofts , Mnrcy , Nellie
nnd CarrieSpoouer nnd Jennie Wallace.
Miss Ida Wallace was the first to enter the
grounds nt the opening of the session and
the last ono to leave last ovcnlntr. This
party stayed there during the entire session ,
in which tlmo only ono of them visited the
city. Miss Spooner w s taken sick , and
spent ono night nt her homo In this city.
These were not the only ones who were re

A Marquis of Quecnslmry Argument.
There was a lively little row at the drug
store of J. C. DoHaven , on Middle Broad
way , yesterday afternoon , although It was
n very one-sided r.tTair , as far as the belliger
ent operators were concerned. It appears
that James Segnin , the bridge builder , en
tered the store to settle his account. His
bill was presented , and ho demanded an
itemized account. It was given him.and among
the items were certain charges for morphmo.
This made Scguln hot , and ho soon exploded.
Ho charged Datlaven with selling morphine
to his wife and to his little six-year-old child.
It is stated that Mrs. Soguln has become ad
dicted to the habit , and her mind hus bccomo
badly shattered in consequence. Scguln lost
control of himself and , reaching across the
counter , struck DoHaven a heavy blow on
the mouth , knocking him back against the
shelving. Ho picked up a heavy iron twine
holder and followed up the assault , throwing
the missile , which struck Dolluven on the
forehcnd , cutting an ugly gush , which bled
very copiously.
He moved uwny from his assailant to the
rear of the store nnd tent for a doctor , who
dressed the wound. Sogum left and was not
molested. It is not known yet whether steps
will be taken to prosecute him. Scgulu was
violently Incensed to think that the druggist
should sell the terrible drug to his wife , who
is a confirmed opium cater. The affair cre
ated considerable excitement , as both parties
are well uuown all over the city.

A BATTLE OF BISONS.
Terrllrto Striigulo liutweon the Great
IluiiHts In tlio riiilrnn'a Kraal ,
His highness the mil tun of Paining , in
the Malay peninsula , can claim to have
introduced a dooidodly novel feature
into oriental sport since ho has brought
his great bison kraal to a successful
issue ,
The bison of the Malay peninsula ,
called s'ludang by the Malays , cor
responds almost exactly with the Indian
gaur , but it has never boon decided by
naturalists whether it is the true Gti-
vcuus gaurus or not , as it is seldom shot
or caught , and the few trophies existing
are imperfect and do not afford conclu
sive evidence.
They are magnificent boasts , of great
size , but shy in the extreme , anduxces-
Bivoly fierce. They usually go about in
herds of from s. 'julf ' a dozen to a score ,
sometimes singly , and occasionally in
couples , the Bleep , densely wooded hills
and rarely bailing forth from their se
clusion except at night.
The sultan , who usually resides at
Pekln , the capital of Pa hung , removed
to Pulun Tawer in the end of February ,
accompanied by about 1,000 mun , "ays a
Pohang special to the London Field ,
und immediately not them to work to
erect n strong fence * along the otlgo of
the rlvor , so as to enclose Iho entire
promontory , except flint pnrt in connec
tion witli the inaluhijul , which was to bo
loft tindisturhod MUiiAU the herd was
found to have onterdd of their own ac
cord , which they were oxpcctoil to do
about the end of ITpfll.
However , theo * $ ns consternation
.and confusion in ( ticcainp ] ) when at day-
t > ? onk on. April 0 it wiis discovered Unit
n largo horuTof blfibns had found their
way on to the promontory during the
night , nnd still rojnalnod thoro. Only
about a mlle of tUq b > rrlcado had been
completed , and thoroiromaincd another
mile ana n half 16'bo , , } done before the
beasts could bo surrounded.
The whole force ol man. which had t
boon steadily increasing in numbers
nnd now amounted to ever fifteen
hundred , were immediately put on to
complete the fence , which they suc
ceeded in doing by nightful , to the sur
prise of every ono , including them
selves.
The bison were now safe inside. In
ono corner of the hraal ; , some fifty yards
from the rlvor , and well nbovo it , a
smaller enclosure about twenty yards
square was constructed , and into this ,
after considerable difficulty , the entire
herd , numbering twenty-four head ,
were driven.
Terrified by the noise of the boaters ,
and wild with fear , the great creatures
appeared almost mad , and rushed about
attacking each other with indescribable
fury. They continued to charge nnd
light like demons , amid the yells and
chcors of the excited crowd , until nt
nightfall ton of the noble beasts lay
dead or dying.
Two more succumbed during the
niglit , and it was a pitiable sight next
morning to see thu twelve survivors nil
jaded and gory utterly exhausted , but
still vicious and "game. "
Four of the slain two bulls and two
cows measured eighteen hands andover
ever in holghth at the dorsal ri'lgo.
Ono hugo bull , the largest of all , who is
still living , must measure eighteen-
hands thrco inches.
Largo covered bamboo rafts were
constructed , nnd some of the bisons
have been driven on board these and
sent down to Pokan , a distance of 150
miles ; the others will follow in duo
course.
At the time of writing , a largo cow
and two smaller ones are at Pokan.
The largo cow , which was presented to
the president , has been generously
offered to the Singnporo museum , and
is now being skinned and prepared
prior to being sot up there. Another
has boon presented to the governor ,
and is now on its way to Singapore alivo.
The largo cow measures IS hands 1
'inch at the dorsal ridge and 10 hands 3
inches in height at the shoulder. It is
to bo hoped that the bison will now bo
identified , so as to definitely settle the
vexed question as to whether the Malay
and Indian jaguar are the same species.
Two tigers were caught in the kraal ,
but both made their escape ; several
deer and pigs , however , were success
fully captured.
It was intended to send ono or two of
the live bibons to lingland , if possible ,
as one hus never been soon there. How
ever , there is liltld chance of their
'
either living in 'captivity or standing
the voyugo.
This is buid to b $ thb first largo bison
krnnl on record.
A DJSH THAT COST $16,000.
The Fnlmlou.q SIIIMH lOxjipnili'tl by tlio
Romans in Gatinguml Drinking.
The lavish expenditure of the Romans
on the couna , the fercat meal of the day ,
was often fabulous. VHollius is actu
ally reported to . ' av squandered 400
sestortia , about jtl228 ! ! , on his daily sup
per , though surely this must bo a mon
strous exaggeration.
The celebrated feast to which he in
vited his brother Lucius cost 3,01)0 ses-
tcrtia , or 40,350. Suetonius relates
that it consisted of 2,1)00 ) different dishes
of fish and 7,000 of fowls , and this did
not exhaust the bill of faro.
His daily foo'l was luxurious and va
ried beyond precedent , says a writer in
the English National Review. The
deserts of Lydia , the shores of bpuin
and the waters of the Carpathian beas
were diligently searched to furnish his
table with dnint'cs , while the savage
wilds of Britaii had to bear their part
in replenishing his lurdor.
Had ho reigned loi.g .Tosephus says
that ho would have exhausted the
wealth of the Roman empire itself.
- < Klius Vorus , another of these worth
ies , was equally profuse in the extrava
gance of his suppors. It is said that a
single entertainment , to which only a
dozen gunsts were invited , cost
0,000,000 sesterces 0,000 sostortia , that
is or nearly 48,500.
History relates that his whole lifo was
passedeatingand drinking in the volup
tuous retreats of Daphne or at the
luxurious banquets of Antioch. So nro-
fupo , indeed , was the extravagance of
those times that to entertain an emper
or was to face almost certain ruin ; ono
dish alone at the table of Iloliogabalus
is said to have cost about 4,000 of our
monoy.
No wonder these imperial feasts were
lengthened out for hours , and that every
