Omnhn 2 , Chicago O.
It did not tnko the Omnhas long to do up
the Chlcagos yesterday nftcrnoon Just ono
liourand twenty minutes. And they shut
them out nt thai , nnd the largo crowd In at
tendance made the welkin ring with tholr ex
ultant shouts.
Lovctt wns n Sampson In the box , mowing
down the carmine-legged horos from the
windy city llko grass before the scythe. Ho
gave but ono man a base on balls , struck out
eight nnd allowed but two llttlo puny hlls lo
bo made off of him. Lovctt , in the language
of the poet , you are full-bloom daisy.
Dig Wilson , too , backstoppcd in his usual
fine stylo. Ho made no mistakes and only
permitted ono base to bo stolen.
In fact all the boys did well , notwlthstand-
standing tholr three errors , and more and
more , every day , do they look llko pennant
winners.
And while wrapping the mantle of glory
about the valiant Omnhogs , It would bo par
tial not to speak in terms of highest com
mendation of the Chicago lads. They wcro
guilty of but ono error , and fought hard
from the opening to the close. They deserved -
served u Duller into. Their battery work
was splendid.
For Iho first five innings it was nip and
tuck with Dunn nnd Lovctt who had the best
of it. Dunn , however , lacks stamina , and
could not last. Ho weakened perceptibly
toward Iho wind-up nnd wns hit quito hard
hnd often. Our own Lovctt Is a stayer. Ho
is incomparable , nnd of course carried oil the
laurels.
Hut most people llko to know Just how the
old thing worked. This is Iho wny :
Burns , iho first man at the plate , as is a
fashion of his , lined out a safe ono. to center ,
nnd quickly stele second. Flyun fanned out.
Anuis retired on a little ono right down in
front of him , which Dunn throw to first and
O'ConncH died from short to first. The au
dience sighed.
For itioChtcaROS Lang put n safoonellko a
rifle shot past Doran , and not lo be ouldono
Jjy Uurris , purloined second. Then Crognn
took first on five bad balls. A man in Iho
grand stand cried "murder I" Just as If
Lovett didn't know what ho was doing.
Jjango stopped up with a rcsoluto look , nnd
then snt down on a grounder to short and.
first. Long and Crognn , however , moved up
B , bag each , and things looked bright for a
run. The people were restless and uneasy ,
but Just ns quiet as mice. There was a shout ,
though , when Lovott struck the agile Itooks
out. nnd a roar as Moriunty popped up a
llttlo ouo to O'Connoll.
There was nothing to chcor over In the sec-
i orid. MUlor slashed away at the nmbiont at-
fi. Biosphere Ihrco times. Shannon fiew out to
second and Doran to Itooks.
For the Ted legs Hinglo was put out by
Miller. Dugdalo struck out and Hanahauwas
retired by a pop-up to Lovctt.
Our doughty pitcher was the first man at
bat in the Ihird. The crowd cheered him.
In acknowledgment he sent a corker to rfcjlit ,
BtflUV second and ran like a fox down to third
on'a half pass ball. Did it mean a run , every
body'said so. Then Wilson foul tipped out ,
nnd an audible groan wont up , but it was
followed by a glad shout , however , when
Lovctt scampered across the plate while
Burns wns being retired from short to first.
Flynn How out to second.
For the visitors Dunn was quickly oxtln-
.Kufshed on strikes ; long fiom Miller to
P'ConucH nnd Cropan on another high lly to
Lovett.
In the next inning Annis wont out from
Duun to Crogan ; O'ConncH on a grounder to
Urst , but Mills was given his base on balls ,
where ho was loft , Shannon going out from.
Ilanaban to first.
, Lang , then sent n long fly to Annis , and
" wont nnd sat down ; Kooks struck out again ,
and how the crowd guyed him. Morinrty
got mad nt this and curved a safe little ono
out to center , but was Immediately retired on
presumptuous attempt to steal second , leav
ing Hcnglo standing at the bat.
In the fifth Crogan hit a savage grounder ,
which got through Crogan's legs and ho
made first. Lovett then struck out , nnd Wil-
bon died from Henglo to first , Doran rush-
Jug down , third. There ho remained , as
Burns went out on strikes.
For the Chicagos Henglo was put out from
Dornn to O'Connell. Dugdalo fanned , and
llan.ihau retired from Lovett to first.
The sixth brought Omaha another score
nnd the last in the game. Flynn out from
Hanahan to Crogan nnd Hlnos likewise , but
iQ'.Connoll ' nipped ono to center , nnd scored
'on Miller's ' dandy drlvo into the carriages
iUong left field fence. Loud ana vociferous
. Khoutlng right here. Shannon retired the
A palnip Qn ft ny to Hnnalian.
ycslcr-1 In their half Duun made first on Doran's
a > - ' fumble of his hot ono , but was retired ttio
' next moment by Doran throwing Long's hit
to Shannon , Long gaining first by a hair's
liroadth. Ho took second on a bad throw of
JjOvett's , but was caught trying to steal
third. Crogan sat down or. a weak hit to
pilch to first.
Doran , Lovett nnd Wilson went out on ono ,
two. three order in Iho next , as did Lang ,
Itooks nudMoriarlty for the visitors.
In the oighth.after Burns had been retired ,
Flynn got his base on balls , and bad ho not
stopped a second on Annis' long two bagger ,
pould have easily scored. As it was ho was
put out at thu pinto. Annis stole third , but
Was loft on O'Connell's out.
To maintain tbo excitement for Iho Chl-
cagoa , Hcuglo reached second on Flyun's
mult of his long fly , which waa made on a
dead run , nnd was entirely excusable. Dug-
dule , who couldn't have hit an omnibus , had
Lovctt been pilehlng them , of course struck
out. Hnuahnn then retired on n big lly to
O'Connoll , but Dunn mndo first on a bad
throw of Doran'a , Heugle going lo third.
'But it nil amounted to nothing ns Long flew
'out to Wilson.
In the final inning Miller hit his second
nafo ono , this tlmo past over Henglo , but
Shannon wont out on a long lly to loft.
Then Dorun hit safe ever second and Miller
reached third , but in trying to reach homo
simultaneously with Doran's that of second ,
lie was caught between the bases , surround
ed nnd massacred. Lovotl ended Iho sport
by going out from short to first.
For the Chicago's Crogan , Lange and
Itooks wove retired us fast as they stepped
up to iho pi a to.

Iho Adjourned Mooting.
Tho. fourteen councllmcn who met in nn
adjourned meeting last night found consider
able to debate nnd wrnnglo over. It was
nearly 11:30 : when they concluded their mis-
slon. After referring the following two im
portant ordinances to a committee of the
whole , the council settled down to business :
"That within sixty days from the passage
of and approval of Ihls ordinance , nil street
car companies or corporations owning or operating -
orating any street car line along nny of the
paved streets In the city Omaha , bo and
hereby nro , required lo plnco conduclors

In serving the public aud guarding against
accidents. All companies or corporations
operating any streetcar lines within the city
of Omaha shall on or before the 1st day of
November of each year , provide each of
their passenger cars with some means or

fortably heated. Each company or corpora
tion , or Its superintendent or managing

In addition to fine herein authorized to bo

fullfor any nnd all passengers to refuse

"Ho it ordained that the salary of police
officers nnd policemen in the city of Omaha
shall bo and they nro hereby fixed at the re
presentative sums following , to-wlt : For
each deputy chief , or captain of police the
sum of flOO per month. For each sergeant

After some discussion on motion of Coun
cilman , Bniley the contract of J. B. Smith
& Co. . of $100.003 to pave Dodge street from
Eighteenth to Twenty-sixth with cedar
blocks , instead of cypress , and other streets
with a like nlatcrial already reported in TUB
BBR was approved.
The cable tramway request for n special
election to ratify their franchise voted uiran
last year , was reported back adversely by
Councilman Lowry. The report created
considerable discussion , and upon motion of
Councilman Huscall the mailer was referred
lo Iho eommilteo of the whole , to be con
sidered when it mot
Councilman Lee offered the following reso
lution :
Resolved , That whenever it shall appear to
the city engineer that the curbing contractors
arc unable to lay curbing fast enough to sup
ply tle | paving contractors It shall bo the
duty of said city engineer to employ suffi
cient help tolieep the curbing laid in advance
of the pavers.
There was n great deal of talk over this ,
and Leo accepted Hascall's amendment
that the board of public works bo included in
Ihe resolution which was passed.
The ordinance creating uavirig districts
175 , i70 and 177 was passed , aud Dovcrell
Bros , wcro permitted lo deposit 300 yards of
dirt on Jackson street between Twenty-
seventh aud Twenty-eighlh.
Councilmcn Bailey and Manville opposed
Ihe contract of Stuht , & Hamll for grading
certain streets around Hauscoui park , insist *
ing that the money to bo spent for thai purpose -
pose should bo devoted lo making slrcels
passable. n
Councilman Hascall Ihought the improve
ment necessary , and an urgent one. It
would bo only carrying out the faith of the
city , and if it was submitted to the vote of
the citizens of Omntia it would bo by four to
ono to go ahead with the work. Councilman
Leo argued In the same strain , nnd assured
the council that if it was necessary lie could
bring the names of hundreds of responsible
citizens to agree to pay an overlap , If the expense -
ponso of the grading caused it.
Councilman Lowry backed up the objec
tions of Bailey and Manville , and Counsnian
loaned his voice in a like direction.
On motion Iho conlract was laid over until
next Tuesday night.
Ordinances on first nnd second readings
referred : To repeal sections 7. 0. 10 and
14 of chapter 17 cnlilled "dogs" of Chase's

The pounell Went into committee of the
kyholo to'consider tlio request of the cable
tramway cotiipnny-for u sH > cial oleclion.
Councilman Ricrstoad said as ho understood
11 thnt the corporation dlil not propose to opor
nto tholronrs Into the city with steam power
They propose to run In from South Omalm
nnd the Patrick farm with steam to councc
With grip cars.
Mr. Morse said that was Iho Idea , nnd thn
the Intention was to run steam nnd motor
cars from South Oinnlm nnd outlying norlh
orn parts to within a mlle of the postofllco
where they connect with grip cars.
Councilman Lee said that ns n now post-
office was promised It would not bo pr ctio
able to base the limit by the present alto. Ho
thought thnt nn amendment should bo Inserted
sorted in the ordinance ! prohibiting the run
nlngof tbo motor , or steam cars , without the
consent of tbo mayor and common council.
Councilman Manville was of the opinion
thnt It was wrong to vote the franchise to
the cnblo company , inasmuch as the councl
had once declared the steam motor a nui
sanco.
A representative from the cnblo company
said that the motor they proposed lo use WH
covered and mndo no inoro racket than the
present cabla cars.
Councilman Burnham said that ono objec
tionable feature against the ordi
nance was nllowlrp the company n
franchise of ninety-nit * ) years , which would
bo A sot-back to nny other enterprises thai
might want to como in during tliu tiuiolho
franchise ran. The Metropolitan cable company -
pany , as ho remembered It , had been allowed
n franchise of only thirty yonrs.nnd ho moved
thnt the franchise bo limited to n snmo num
ber of years.
Councilman ICIorstcad represented that the
Metropolitan line wns Instituted only to sell
projierty In which they wore interested In.
It was otherwise with this new corporation.
They were putting In tholr millions on a sub
stantial plant , and proiwscd to sustain nnd
opcrnto it. Tlio speaker concluded by saying
that he would vote for the nincty-nlno years
franchise.
Councilman Hnscnll ngrccd with the views
expressed by Councilman Burnhnm , nnd
moved that forty years bo the extent of the
franchise accorded to the company.
A vote was first taken on Leo's motion In
reference to restricting the boundaries of tbo
running of the motor. This was carried , ns
was Councilman Hascall's making the fran
chise forty years.
Councilman Burnhnm next brought up the
question when the company proposed oper
ating nnd finishing Iholr lines. Ho thought
it nn Important one , and the company should
stipulate tho. time.
Councilman Alexander thought Council
man Burlmm's proposition an unfair one , ns
did Councllmcn Kierstcad nnd Hascall. It
was finally voted to give the road twenty
years in which to finally occupy Iho slrcots
named In the ordinance , and further that
they will not build nny tracks on Sherman
avenue without the consent of a majority of
the property holders on the strcel.
The committed arose , rcpoilcd the above
amendments to tbo council and they wcro
adoplcd. A recess of fifteen minutes was
taken to include the amendments in the
ordinance , and when tl was brought up after
tbo recess for ratlllcallon corlain members of
the council showed a disposittou to combat
It. Councilman Burnham thought thnt the
council had no assurance that the company
would defray Iho expenses of the 8 ] > ccla1
election , which it Is proposed shall bo held on
the " 2d of May. The representatives of the
company promised that they would stand
the expense , and Burnham went off on
a new tack to the effect that ho and other
councllmcn did not fully understand the
legal aspect of the case. Ho moved that it
bo referred for ono week so that ho and
olhcrs could consult with tbo city attorney.
Councilman Lowry was of the same opinion ,
and so was Councilman Manvillo.
The Burnham motion was lost by a vote of
3 aycs to 7 noes. The question occurring on
the adoption of the coming ordinance it was
passed by the following vole : Ayes Alex-
under , Bailey , Bedford. Boyd , Cousman ,
Hascall , Kiersload , Kitchen , Leo , Snyder ;

WOODS SUUKENDEKS.
Tlio Shooter of Old Man Kerns Gives
Himself Up.
"Hello , officer ; my nnmo is Woods ; the
police are looking for nio aud 1 want to give
myself up. "
The speaker was William Woods , the
young man for whom the officers have been
most diligently searching for several weeks
past for perforating bis father-in-law , Jim
Kerns , with bullet holes. The party ad
dressed was Officer Murphy OB ho patrolled
his beat near the corner of Thirteenth and
William streets last ovcnmg , and when
Woods expressed the wish to bo taken iulo
cuslody the officer with the greatest alacrity
complied with the request. On being taken
to the contra ! Jstation Woods was very com-
inunicativo and gave a full account of the
state of affairs loading up to the assault ,
his flight and subsequent wanderings.
Ho says that Kerns has threatened to tnko
his life on a number of occasions and that
the last time was on Iho evening of Iho as-
suult , when they had some hard words on
the corner of Thirteenth and. Williams street.
Ho rolalod the matter to Davis , who urged
him to kill Kerns and even wont so far as to
purchase a revolver and give it to Woods to
pcrpetr.ile Iho crime with. On leaving the
house aller supper Woods was urged by his
wife nol lo let Korus como homo alive , and
thus it appears , as suspected , that Woods'
wife was in loutruo with Davis to got rid of
him and Korus. Woods followed the old
man homo alone , Davis being too cowardly
to accompany him on Iho murderous oxpedl
lion. Tlio nltnck was made , with the results
that are already well known. Woods then
fled lo Iho south and was soon lost in the
darkness. The next day ho passed in the ha
zel brush bolowSouth Omaha. Ho then headed
for Dcnvtr , reaching thnt place about a week
later by occasional rides on trains. After
hanging about that city for three or four
weeks , scanning the columns of THE Bi j ;
every day for news concerning Kerns , ho
finally saw there was a possibility of the
man living and ho decided the best thing for
him to do would bo to givo.blmsolf up to the
authorities. Ho therefore leturneu to
Omaha , reaching here about 0 o'clock last
evening.
Upon being questioned ns to his wife's
fidelity , ho said ho knew of uo illicit relations
liavinij existed between her and Davis , but
lie did not know whether the child ho called
lie called lib own was really his or that of his
fathor-in-law.
Kerns is still In n pretty precarious con
dition at St. Joseph's hospital. Davis mid

Bnn.1 Wheat advanced SJfo during the
morning sosslon nnd closed nt nearly Iho top
price. The opening was rather tame nt a
llttlo under yesterday's closing prices.
Knmmoror was the firat heavy buyer , nnd
Mitchell A Linn soon followed. Almost
every commission house had buying orders.
To nil Ihls demand was added that of local
shoils ns soon ns the prices began lo ad-
vanco. The longs were realising profits all
the way up , but their grain was absorbed , nnd
wllh ono or two exceptions without causing
a halt In the upward movement. There were
two or three stopping places where realizing
was moro general and reactions of Jfc oc
curred , but when those longs who were will
ing to part with tholr grain hnd doho so , the
upward movement was again resumed.
There seemed to bo very litllo disposition to
sell wheat before buying it. Boars were
doing nothing hibcrnallng , as it were ,
for the present. Exactly the same
thing which discouraged short soli-
Ing stimulated the demand nnd
that was the expectation of the government
crop roiwrt , which will bo here to-morrow.
Everybody with faith In wheat wanted some
and the boars were qullo willing lo wall
unlll Iho effect of that document was known.
Early In the session C. A. King & Co. , of
Toledo , telogrnphcd Knimnerer that the re
port of the Ohio board of agriculluro showed
an average condlllon of wheat In that state
of 63. twelve iralnts decline from Us last re
port ; also that the acreage was largely re
duced by plowing up. This , with strong
buying immediately afterward , caused a
rumor to spread that the government report
was out aud added to the excitement and
eagerness to buy. But nobody pretended to
have nny Inkling of that report. If there
wns a leak in Iho government office at ono
tlmo it is surely stopped up now. The report
for the last month was a complete surprise
and Iho ono for this mouth is only guessed at.
There were bad crop reports from south-
em Indiana and from Missouri. A tele
gram from San Francisco said there
was no improvement hi the condlllon of
wheal in California nnd thcro would not' bo
moro than one-third to one-half a crop. Win
ter wheat markets were very slrong anil
Ihcro seems lo have been a sudden apprecia
tion of values of winter wheat hero. No. 2
rod sold at 87 fc in store yesterday ; to-day
the snmo wheat was sold at 92c. July whriut

The corn market was n llttlo firmer and ,
showed a small advance , apparently front
sympathy with the strength in wheat. Trad
ing was light and without special feature.
Receipts , present and prospective , nro com-
paralivoly small and it is a part of the goa-
sip of the floor , that the owners of cash corn ,
who are also long for May , nro letting up on
their pressure of the shorts for that
mouth , so thnt the inducement id
ship corn hero shall bo lessoned.
The May future , however , advanced to-day
from 50 0 bid to 57o and closed nt55Vo ,
whicn was a greater advance lhan was seen
in olher deliveries. July corn oponod-
55 c , sold up lo B5K s , bnck to 55 o and

crate trading and no special foaluro. Alayoats
