DEATH OF BISHOP o'G0RNAH.

CAL1SC
man Catholic Bishop of Nebraska,
died in this city on Saturday last, at
l:30 p. m, after a very brief illness,
at the age of 65 years, having been
born in the county of Limerick,
Ireland, in 1909. His parents were
of noble ancestry, and, strange as it
may seem, many OF his nearest rel
atives were Protes .ants, two of his
brothers being Orangemen.
After receiving a very liberal ed
location, young O'Gorman atthe age
of I9 entered the monastry of Mount
Melarry, County of Waterford, un-
der the auspices Of the Trappists,
one of the most austere and self
abnegating of the monastic orders.
In due course of ume he was or
dained priest, and in 1880 he was
sent on a mission to America, to es-
ta3lish q branch of the Trappist Or
der, which Relocated near Dubuque,
Iowa, giving it the name of New
Mellary.
Here he remained until the spring
of 1859, when he came to Nebraska,
having been consecrated Vicar
Apostolic of this See on the Sth of
May of that year
During the fifteen eventful years
that since elapsed Bishop O'GOr-
man devoted his whole energy to
the building up of the Catholic
Church not only in this city and
State, but also directing his labors
to the more distant territories
West.
Imbued with deep and devotion
al piety, and endowed with a kind
ly heart, this venerable prelate was
ever ready to sacrifice comfort und
self-interest in the noble cause of re-
ligion and humanity. His benevo-
lence knew no bounds, and his char
ity was not confined to creed or
sect
To LIS untiring efforts We may as
cribe he location, In our midst, OF
those models of human patience and
benevolence, the Sisters Of Mercy,
and to him is due the credit of that
noble institution, tue Omaha Mercy
Hospital.
Bishop O'Gorman also founded
Mt. st. Mary's Convent In this city.
With all his religious zeal and his
vigorous monastic training, Bishop
O'Gorman was one Of the most lib
eral of churchmen. When the
great council of Bishops was held
at Rome, he was found with the
very few intrepid prelates who cast
their vote against the dogma OF
papal infallibility. After his return
to America, when the infallibility
dogma was promulgated, Bishop
O'Gorman with the Others who
had opposed the meas
ure gave his cordial acquies'
ence. Whether as . churphman oil
a citizen, Bishop O'Gorman enjoyed
the universal ~veneratIon OF all the
people who came III contact VIII
him. His gentle, unaffected man
ner, and his affable bearing, gave
him easy access to every eody's con-
fidence. His demise wM be deeply
lamented by all our citizens, but
especially by the faithful flock thai
habitually looked to him for faith
erly consolation and advice.
The remains of the Bishop will be
removed from the Episcopal resi-
dence tomorrow at 8 q. ~, and
laid i'm state i'm the ca thedral, where
the religious offices prescribed by
the Catholic ritual will be per-
formed.
The last requiem mass will be said
between 9 and 10 a. IA. by the hish-
ops and priests. After this the
corpse will be subject to q farewell
look to all who may desire. The
body will thereafter be deposited
with customary rites in the vault
erected under the high altar.

GRAND PITCHED BATTLE
between the "tOwnles' and the
granger boys" which had been
brewing all afternoon from the first
fight, and which terminated at the
conclusion of the picnic. An at
tempt was made to get up a single
handed fight between a "townie"
and a granger" but this only re-
suited in separating the two ele-
ments, about fifty on a side, and
suddenly the Changers rallied, and
pushing hither and thither, they
raised the war-cry of ego for them"
and suiting the action to the word,
they raised their w%ar-clubs, with
which they had previously armed
themselves, and pitched into the
city roosters.
The "townies" being Outnum-
bered gave way, and were driven
out of the woods by the "Grangers."
The "townies,' on the retreat,
also grabbed up clubs, rails and
boards, and while the running fight
several boys on both sides
were knocked down. The "tOwn-
l
upon reaching the open bot
toms, made a stand, and then the
fun began in earnest. The air was
alive with clubs, stones and missiles
Of all kinds, which occasionally
keeled a fellow over Several side
fights wei e also in progress, and the
prospect was that somebody would
get killed if the battle continued,
when one of the Omaha boys pulled
put q revolver and fired two shots
into the grass. This settled the row,

Gin theirs" and, not know
ng how many more might follow,
hey retreated. They We're at home

by the band, John Rush e;Oquently
read the Declal alton Of Independ-
ence. Mr.. John n. Crawford de-
livered a lengthy Grafton, which as
a literary effort was very creditable,
but owing to the weakness of his
voice, it was appreciated only by
the few who had the pleasure of be-
ing near enough to hear him.
Major J. w. Davis followed with
a speech of considerable length,
which became rather monotonous,
especially as 1t was entirely of a pO-
litical character.
This concluded the exercises, and
the "KO ops" were not given the
slightest opportunity to carry their
D. oglamme into execution. %
DANCING AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
began about 2 o'clock, after the pic
niokers had paid their compliments
to the lunch baskets, and the va
