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 , 11U runic was seventh in his class.

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.

THE DELINEATOR The best fashion journal published , $ i a year. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 tlon of THE BEB.

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 , An official In a position to know the inside of the proposed deal said yesterday morning : ' Fred Amos has the resignation of Presi dent Adams in his pocket and will piosont It at the meeting of the directors in New York on Tuesday next nad it will bo accepted.
