DEATH OF JUDGE J , M SAVAGE
Tbs Olose of a Long Career of Honor and
Usefulness.
LIFE HISTORY OF A DISTINGUISHED MAN.
Jlic Final Suimnims Oatno at Eight
O'clock Last Kveiling , After
Many AVeckn of tlio Bloat
Intense Suffering1.
Surrounded by the members of nls family
nnd a few loving friends , Judge J.\V. Siwoge
died at his residence nt 413 North Twenty-
second street nt a few minutes after 8 o'clock
last night.
All day yesterday his physician and rela
tives realized that nil hopes for the recovery
of the sick man had passed , but were of the
opinion that life might bo prolonged for a few
tliiys at least.
During the early evening the Judge began
filnklng rapidly nnd passed away as peace
fully as though ho were sinking into a qulot
slumlcr.
Iilfo of Judge JaiiiCH W. Savage.
Judge Savngo was taken sick About a
niontli ngo , suffering a relapse .from
a malady which , a few months pro-
rlou-sty , It was thought would re
sult fatally. Ho rallied , however , and
mad ofcoblo attempts to again resume his
wonted luiblts and calling. Ho was , in a
measure only , successful. Ho rode out nt
intervals nnd bis presence on the streets re
assured friends that the genial gentleman
had fully recovered from the attack. The
relapse , however , resulted as above stated.
.The gentleman , the scholar , the jurist passed
mviiy , his lost moments comforted by his de
voted wife and the sorrowing friends of
-juany yours.
.lames Woodruff Savage came of a distin
guished rurally , The name was broucht to
tnls country by his paternal nncestor.Thomas
Savngo , who landed from England in 1030 ,
and afterwards married Faith , daughter of
Anne Hutchinson. Thonamoof this woman
Is familiar to every reader of colonial his
tory. She was the famous religious
enthusiast who founded the Antluomlan
beet of Now England. On her mother's
tide she was a second cousin of the poet
Drydon. In lWt ( she came to Boston , to enJoy -
Joy the preaching of John Cotton. Hero
bhe Instituted meetings of women for the
discussion of doctrinal questions , and her in-
iluonco created a powerful faction nnd led to
public disturbances , She was banished to
Ithodo Inland and afterwards removed to
New Amsterdam , where she was murdered
by Indians in llVia , Very eminent men of
Hint day , among them Sir Hoary Vane and
John Cotton , were favorably inclined to her
doctrine.
It is not possible to trace the descent of the
name through generations , always distin
guished in the annals of Now England.
The inther of Judge Savage was ttev.
Thomas Suvnge , a minister of the Presby-
terlun denomination , who died in Bedford ,
N. II , , in 1800 , having been pastor of the
church in that place for forty years ,
Juilgo Savage was born February 2 , 1820.
in .Bedford , N. H. His early life was passed
ia a fanning community. Its quiet ana slm-
l > lo conditions were favorable to the forma
tion of an Ingenious character. At tbo same
tlmo tboy wuro not rude. In the homo of his
youth there were the gravity of a minister's
household , the sober faith and devout lifo of
Christian parents.and the book andtholearn-
ing uud thu culture of educated gentle pee
ple. The seeds then planted bore good
fruit.
In September , 1841. James entered the
rhlllips' Andover academy and , after having
teen well taught nt home , began bis prepara
tion for college. In August , 184U , he entered
Harvard , whence ho graduated , B.A.inl847 ,

Woodruff , as managing cleric. Judge Wood
ruff , at that time , held high lank la the
profession and bis ofllco was full of heavy
business , He was a most amiable gentleman
and took ix deep and affectionate interest In
his young kinsman.
On July 1,1801 , Mr. Savage was commis
sioned a captain In the regular army and assigned -
signed as nid-do-camp to the staff of General
Fremont , and In tUo October following was
promoted to the position of major ,
In March , 1802 , ho was again promoted
this time to a lieutenant-colonelcy.
In December. 1803 , ho resigned his
commission In the regular army and was
mustered in us colonel of the Twelfth New
York volunteer cavalry.
Ho served until the close of hostilities and
on August . " > , 18(35 ( , was mustered out with his
regiment.
After retiring1 from military service Col
onel Savngo spent a year in travel.
April 18 , IStir , just after Nebraska had been
admitted to the union , ho removed to this
city and resumed the practice of his profes
sion. He was then , as fcdeod ho continued to
bo up to the time of his death , well-knit ,
vigorous , dignified mien and gentle manner.
A bright spirit and a kindly speech were his ,
so that at once friends gathered around him ,
and through all the years and contentions
which have passed sluco then , he has -held
them to him.
Colonel Savngo at once took a high rank at
the bar , many of whoso members have
attained enviable places in the country.
In 1S09 ho became associated In practice
with Hon. Charles P. Manderson , now
United States senator from this state , under
the style of Savage & Manderson. ,
The public esteem in which he was hold Is
shown by the repeated calls of his fellow
citizens for his services.
In 1870 ho received the nomination of the
democratic party for member of congress ,
but was defeated by Hon. Lorenzo Crounse.
In 187 ; ! the legislature elected him regent
of the stnto university , which ofllco ho held
until it was made elective by the constitution
oflS75.
In November , 1375 , ho was elected judge of
the third Judicial district , and in 1870 was ro-
clocted to the same oftlco for another term.
The district was largely republican , and his
election both times by largo majorities bore
omphntlo testimony to the esteem in
which ho was held and the value
of his judldul services. He had the best
qualities of a good Judge a vigorous administration -
istration , conscientious impartiality , a quick
apprehension and n strong native sense ) of
justice. The business of his district very
largely exceeded that of any other In the
state , but fewer of Ills judgments were car
ried to the supreme court for review than
tlioso of any other judge. That court seldom
reversed him ,
The severities of his ofllco compelled him
to resign it before the expiration of bis term ,
his health having become seriously impaired.
In 18S3 , be resumed the practice of law.
"With great experience ho was able ) to bring
into the service of his largo clientage wis
dom , skill and abundant learning.
A vacancy occurred at this time In the
chancellorship of the state university. The
position was offered to Judge Savage and the
friends of the institution pressed upon him
the acceptance of it with great urgency.
They felt that he had the wisdom to guide It
through the troubles which then surrounded
it , and bring it to that measure of success
and service which other western state uni
versities enjoy. Nor dla ho in any measure
underrate the dignity tendered him , nor
what a flt man could do in the promises ; but ,
eroatlyto the disappointment of nil who
hoped for peed things of the younp Institu
tion , the judge felt himself constrained to do-
cllno the honor.
At the November election , 1883 , ho was a
candidate for judge of the supreme court on
the democratic ticket hut was defeated by
450 votes when the republican majority In
the state was flvo times that number.
The judge had been one of the trustees of
the Omaha public library slnco 1881 , and tiaa
also been a trustee of Bcllovuo college.
In July , 1S35 , 1'resldent Clovcland
appointed him a government director of
the Union PacUlorallray company , and reappointed -
pointed him every succeeding year during
tils incumbency.
In April , 1875 , he was married to Mrs , L.ucy
T. Morris , daughter of Alnusou Tucker , eso. . ,
of Dtfrby , New Hampshire.
Judge nnd Mrs. Savage dispensed In their
homo a generous ana graceful hospitality. It
was a homo full of interesting things worki
of art and'artlcle ) of historical valuo. Each ,

brought into It ancestral memorials of the
early days of this country. But the chlefest
among their treasures was a Shakespearean
library of many volumes , and rich In rare
editions almost beyond any in the west. Both
of them were most delightfully fond of every
word and minutely learned in all the lore of
thu great poet.
Besides his researches after Shakespearean
lore , Judco Savage devoted himself to Ameri
can history. Hero may bo mentioned only
two of his interesting papers on-such topics.
April 10 , 1880 , ho read a paper before the
Nebraska Stnto Historical society which ho
entitled : "Tho Discovery of Nebraska , " and
which was printed among the transactions of
the society for that year.
After adverting to the many , efforts being -
ing made on all hands to compel the vast li
braries of all countries to give up their
dead treasures , ho states his purpose thus :
"I propose to collect and present this evenIng -
Ing , a fovv of the reasons wo have for believ
ing that four score years before the pil-
grams landed on the venerable shores of
Massachusetts ; sixty-eight years before
Hudson discovered the beautiful river which
still bears his inimo ; sixty-six years before
John Smith with his cockney colonists ,
sailed up a summer stream which they
named after James I. of England , and com
mon ced the settlement of what was after
wards to bo bo-
Virginia ; twenty-three years -
fora Shakespeare was born ; when Queen
Elizabeth was a little girl , and Charles V.
sat upon the united throne of Germany and
Spain. Nebraska was discovered , and the pe
culiarities of her soil and climate- noted , her
fruits and productions described , and her hi
habitants and animals depicted. "
Judge Savage communicated to the society
another paper , which ho entitles ; "A visit
to Nebraska in 1602 , " and which is printed
In the "Transactions" of 1887.
It is an account of the expedition of Don
Diego. Count Pcnalosa , which took place In
the year 1CG2.
These papers at once draw. attention to
their author , and doubtless , as a recognition
of his services in the cause of American his
tory , ho was made a member of the historical ,
societies of Now Hampshire , Wisconsin and
Missouri.
Ho has prepared another pamphlet ea-
tltlert : "The Christening of the Platto" an
account of a visit to that river about the
eighteenth century.
For the last few years of his life , Judge
Savacp has devoted himself to the practice of
his profession , historical research nnd the
enjoyment of literary pursuits. His thrifty
and successful career had enabled him to
nccquiro a competency and this. In turn , en
nbled him to pass his closing days Ir
partial and tranquil retirement whicli
so becomes an honorable old ago. Ho
appeared in court , however , only when im
portant cases were called hi which ho was
Interested , passing the rest of his tlmo In
recreation , study and travel both at homo
and abroad. In these rambllngs ho was generally
orally accompanied by his wife , and from
them both returned with minds stored and
refreshed with Information of both Interest
and value.
At the tlmo of his death , Judge Savage
was the senior member of the law firm of
Savngo , Morris & Davis , the second named
member being a stop-son of the deceased- -
The date of the funeral has not yet been
decided upon.
The County Commissioners.
Dick Berlin was the only absent member
when the county commissioners commenced
the transaction of the business of the regula
weekly session yesterday afternoon. Afto :
reaching the minutes of the board , twc
Insane women were ordered sent to thol :

coroner's witnesses and Jurors was brough
up again nnd action postponed.

AN EXHIBITION OF TRUE ART ,
The Steele Building Aglow with Gems of
the Brush ,
SOME OF THE STRIKING PICTURES SEEN.
Opening Day or the Omaha Art Ex
hibition and a Glance at Some
of the tirilllant Features
In the Display.
The Omaha Art Exhibition is a revelation.
No flncr display of the higher art was over
made west of the Mississippi. This means
that in scope , arrangement , extent aud qual
ity of paintings , the exhibit In the Steele
building excels anything undertaken by the
art-loving people of Omaha.
Not every picture in the largo collection Is
good some have no place there. But thcro
are so many that please and delight a true
westerner tltat columns might bo written
upon them. It Is easy to forget one's self in
contemplation of the many rare canvases.
Two days might profitably bo spent and yet
not all the pictures receive the attention they
so richly deserve at the hands of visitors.
A BHK representative stopped Into the ex
hibit yesterday. Ho found that the four
walls of two stories of the largo building had
been hung with pictures. Upon the walls of
the lower story nro pictures of wonderful
power , yet It Is not until the pictures above
are seen that ono becomes bewildered at the
brilliant array.
The workmen were busy adjusting the
side lights , rearranging the pictures , shlft-
Int ; the chairs and putting the two floors In
ship-shape for the immense crowds of people
that thronged the gnileries yesterday after
noon , and will most certainly do so through
out the present week , for this great collec
tion enjoys the patronage of the best
people of the city so that the society fad of
the week will bo the great art exhibit. Tbo
attendance nt this exhibition will bo u ncx-
amplcd. ,
The catalogue had not.beon printed So THE
BEB critic wandered tbroagh the gallery as
fancy and Inclination might dictate. Ho did
little moro than glance , Aqt the exhibit as a
whole , reserving for a | atcr issue a moro par
ticular reference to thor brilliant features of
the display. ' '
Upon entering thV lower gallery
and a Ilttlo tb1'tbo right the
eye is attracted by a largo canvas , No. 0 , en
titled. "Cliffs of Mont obey , " by F. L. Heath.

orable mention in a Paris salon exhibition ,
and has few equals In the Omaha exhibition.
No. 51 by F. A. Ilridgninn , is very cleverly
painted , but seems to bo lacking in motive.
No. 61 by W. D. Sadler , entitled "Past and
Present , " elves a view of three or four monks
in various attitudes common to the tailor's
bench. One is sowing in the old fashioned
way , while another seems to bo somewhat
rattled In his attempts to manngo a modern
sewing machine. The picture is good as a
whole , but the beads of ono or two of the
monks do not show a sufllclent amount of
study on the part of the artist.
No. ( W , by P. E. Boutigiiv , is a very pretty
scene entitled "A French Reconnoitre. " An
officer has just scaled the crest of a knoll ,
while back of him comes the guard , or order
lies. Ills a-beautiful llltlo piece , the execu
tion of which is well nigh perfect.
No. 07 by Aug. Matthls , portrays the re
hearsal of a Juvenile singing class , nnd Is
very welt painted. It is a picture which is
attracting considerable attention.
No. Vii is an ambitious canvas by Lionel
Wnldcn. It portrays the llsh market 'at the
wharf along which boats are anchored. The
picture Is too large , but the technique dis
played Is above criticism.
No. Ill ) by the same artist , Is a very clev
erly painted shipping scene. Barges nro
drown up to the wharf in the foregronnd ,
while off in the mists nro seen largo vessels
approaching and receding. The execution of
this picture Is superb , and the coloring per
fect. The picture is ono of the very finest in
the exhibition.
No. 11U byBrldgman , entitled "Fete do
Oued El Kebir , " is a most beautiful work of
art and ono of the best of Brldgman In Amer
ica. It is full of fine Intelligence , of great
breadth of handling and Is perfect Ic color

No. S Is a little view looking down the
Seine , and very creditably painted.
A Ilttlo picture along towards the end ol
the gallery bearing no number , gives a view
in the domicile of a dnrkoy. There is n cook
stove in ono corner , a home-made carpet on
the floor , n rough table by the wull and a
mirror by the Window. Before the window
stands u colored girl , urruycd in bright
colored garments , apparently making her
toilet preparatory to a visit from her sweet
heart , who can bo seen in the distance
through the window. The execution of this
little canvass is very mio indeed , and the picture
turo is commented on very generally and
favorably.
Nos. 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 and 75 , which hang near
together on the lower floor , are entitled to
the very highest commendation anil exhibit a
very high degree of art. They will receive
the extended notice they deserve in a later
issue of Tin : BBB.
While the visitor may have been pleasec
and entertained by the pictures seen in the
lower gallery , ho is delighted and almost
bewildered by the wonderful productions
which are presented on the Hour above. One
of the most notable of these is a picture o
Japaueso musicians which will attract the
attention , it is safe to say , of every visitor to
the Omaha exhibition. In execution It is
Ilttlo short of marvellous ; nothing to equal i
has over before been seen in this city.
This exhibition will receive the best attcn

CHARLES FUANOlsi TO UESIGN.
Adams of the Union Pacific to Retire
at Jay Gould's Request.
All of the conflicting rumors that have been
in circulation concerning the alleged pur
chase of the Union Pacific road have given
way to a firm belief that the transfer has
boon practically made and that Mr. Gould
will bo In active management of the system
before December 1.
The strongest confirmation of Qoukl's re
ported purchase comes in ttio call for a meet
ing of the Union Pacific directors In New
York on Tuesday of next weeic and the sum
mons received by Mr. S. H. II. Clark , who
was in Omaha Friday , to proceed to Now
York at one o for a conference with Mr.
Gould. Mr. Clark loft for Now York Fri
day night In answer to the summons.
Mr. J. II. Millard , one of the directors of
the road , also received a telegram Friday
from President Adams asking him to attend
the meeting. Ho loft for New York , yester
day.The
The great question at headquarters is , of
course , what effect the proposed change will
have here. This all depends upon how com
pletely Mr. Gould will have tbo control of
the road. The hopeful holders of official po
sitions under the present administration nro
Inclined to the opinion that the only effect of
the chiingo will ho to unlto the railroads of
the west , the Missouri Pacific. Northern Pa
cific , Santa Fo and other big lines in n close
combination that will result in n maintain-
anco of profitable rates and make the rail
road business profitable. They hope tnat
this will bo the extent of the change.
But there are others well posted in railroad
affairs who predict a general nnd sweeping
change in the management of the road.
They claim that the road is managed accordIng -
Ing to n plan that Is in direct opposition to
Gould's methods , and that ho will insist
upon a general reorganization of the official
force of the road.
The programme that is now generally ac
cepted provides for the election of Sidney
Dillon as president and General G. M. Dodge
as vlco president nnd general manager ,

the accounts of the postofllccs at Kansas City ,
Minneapolis and St. Puul , and ho was asked
what the return of the Omaha postofllco

steady growth In population aud material

petitions in bund for at least soycn moro car
