The Way Omaha and Sionr City Played
Ball Yesterday ,
A FARCE FROM START TO FINISH.

One Score.
Slonx City 11 , Omaha 1O.
There was tin aggravating game of ball
pla.vcd at the local park yesterday after
noon.
Omaha vs Sioux City.
It was a circus with two rings nud nineteen
clowns.
A concatenation of blunders , mlsjudgments
nnd blockhead plays , that is what it was , and
they were divided about equally between the
opposing forces.
From the kicking the Corn Huskers In
dulged in vou'd ' thought it wusu giunoof foot
ball.
ball.They scared the umpire young Mr. Atwood
- out of a couple of years' growth , and at ono
Ktagc' in the farce he threw up the sponge in
disgust and refused to proceed further.
A half hour's coaxing , however , brought
him buck and the circus ruulinucd.
But like tno mills of tlio gods , exceedingly
hlow.
The Angel us rang , the sun went do\vn , and
the moon came up , and still the bespangled
performers wont on leaping over the barrier-
ties , through thohpapor oops und hanging by
their eyebrows from the living trapeze 1
"And what will the little lady have next ? "
came ever and anon from Johnny Atwood
from tiniidst a very cntaclasm of howls and
groans and cat-culls from the paralyzed spec
tators.
Such a hum-turn time , oh my ! Oh , mo !
] t was enough to give one a palpitation in tlio
thoracic region.
Martin was in the twirlcrs' square for the
Bl.u-k Sox.
Would that ho were ynt in Galcsburg.
Ho was as wild as a Texan peccary , , aud if
be failed to give a man his base on balls , ho
Just smashed him in the back with the
.spheroid and sent him there anyway.
At one time , in the momentus eighth the
crowd arose as ono man , and yelled murder !
This was just after the Onianus bad , by us
picturesque a streak of hitting as you will
he in a life-time , knocked out six great , big ,
broad-chested runs , giving them u handsome
lead of four.
Then the lusty buskers of the malzo came
in
And what did they do ?
Why , they never did a thing.
The southpaw catapult from Galesburg did
it all.
He turned himself into a regular double-
valved , back-acting , eleemosynary institution
aud gave General Powell's men four runs.
A pure gift.
They never made a sign of a hit.
Ami , still , tied the score !
Powell was the first man to too the scratch
nt this calamitous juncture.
lie sent a little parabolic fly into the air
"which Galesburg clasped to his bosom.
Then ho gave Genius and Devlin their
bases on balls , following this up by hitting
. nwsley and Black , which of course forced
Charles Genius over tlio oyster.
This started Joe Walsh's mustache to grow
ing like an ulaha.struml
And Wuliy Andrews became so nervous
that he made uu error as big und yellow us u
pumpkin on Walsh's throw of Monkey Cllno's
grounder , and both Devlin and Crossley scur
vied across tlio platter like a couple of cats
with a bootjack iu their wake !
But disasters und mosquitoes never come
Kingly.
So lust to keep up the fun ICcurns muffed
Glenn's fly , and Black came Iu and joined his
hilarious coadjutors on the bench.
Kappel und Brosnan went out and n quietude
deep and solemn us that of the tomb foil over
the park.
From this on the Omaha team wns seized
with ennui.
Their stock of Halford sauce was ' ex
hausted , and they prayed for the darkness of
night to settle over the earth like n pall.
Hut it wouldn't settle worth a continental ,
nud the game was dragged Into ten innings.
In her half Omaha drew a blank , but Sioux
C'ltv poked out the winning run.
' 1 lie only earned one of the whole boodle.
Black led oil with a single decorated with
butterflies and humming birds , and then ,
nfter Martin had shimmed the monkey out at
llrst and Glenn had been .similarly served bv
t'levolund ' , Kuppcl made u hit , uud the jig wu's
ultitudiiums.

Bii : : . ] The dry goods house of A. W. Chun-
ing & Co. was robbed last night about ! )
o'clock , during business hours. It was ono
of the most bold and daring robberies over
committed In northwest Missouri. Four
masked.mon. dressed in Prince Albert coats
nud mounted upon good horses , were seen to
approach the town from the east n little be
fore " .o'clock. Each ono had two largo re
volvers and the citizens wore terrified. They
rilled the money drawers and safes of the
stores they found open , securing from $2,000
to $ .1,000.
They then started for their horses , tied a
short distance from town. By this time tlio
citizens had collected their wits and a few
guns and revolvers nud started In hot pursuit
to make u running Mght. The robbers were
now mounted und fought bravely. One of
them was pierced with u bullet , as blood
could bo seen along the road and upon the
bridges. The pursuit lasted about twelve
miles and was then given up for the night.
It was evident that the gang had homo very
ast horses in their possession.
The robbers uro well dressed , well armed
and can surprise and hold at bay almost any
small town for n few minutes at least. A
posse of men are scouring the country today.
They are moving northwards to Iowa. For
miles north of hero and west it Is a heavily
timbered country , making It very difficult to
run down the criminals.

WASHINGTON- , Juno 23. When the house
mot tills morning Mr. Enloo of Tennessee
moved to correct the Journal so ns to strike
thoi-ofroin the titles of a number of private
pension bills passed by the house lust night.
Ho claimed that the bills passed before the
house went Into committee of the whole and
were not properly before the house. The
house , however , refused to agree to his mo
tion , so the bills stand passed.
The house then went Into committee of the
whole on the federal election bill.
Mr. MoAdoo of New Jersey toolc the floor
and made vigorous speech In opposition to
the bill. Ho bused his opposition on the
principle of homo rule nml the right of the
people to control their own affairs without
federal Interference. He warned the repub
licans to bowaiiof the experience of Wnl-
tiolo when prime minister of Knglnnd. He
begged the republicans , ho abjured them by
their own sense of manliness to abandon the
bill before the cry went up of "Liberty ,
lil > orty , no interference with elections. "
Mr. McUomas of Maryland reviewed the
various election contests during the present
congress to show the necessity for the pass
age of such a law. The democrats talked
about the people its ono kind of power and
the gentleman from Now Jersey ( MeAdoo )
talked a great deal about home rule. Air.
Mi-Comas went on to say that the triumph of
the white man's party in the south meant
control not only of states but of the national
legislature. Against tissue ballots , against
false counting , against night raiders , against
the shotgun policy , against intimidation , the
dignity of the courts , the majesty of the luw ,
the powers of the constitution assure justice
to all men , white or black , in this country.
[ Loud applause. )
Mr. Bland of Missouri twitted Mr. Ale-
Comas for having taken away from the black
men of the District of Columbia tlie power of
local government and never giving it to them
again.
Tills resulted in nn uproar , Messrs. Bland
and McComas shouting at the top of their
voices amid the applause of their colleagues
and the galleries.
Mr. AlcComas declared that when Mr.
Bland alTeotod an interest in eight or ten
thousand black voters of the District , while
during his long service here he had never
raised his voice in behalf of the eight or ten
million poor and oppressed black men in the
country , ho felt like calling him a hypocrite.
Air. Bland vehemently declared Air. Alc
Comas a hypocrite who felt no interest in the
negro.
At tills point the uproar became so great
that nothing coitld bo hoard suvo the com
mingled shouts of the debaters and the rap
ping of the speaker's gavel.
Air. AlcComas .managed to shout : "The
black man in this district is like the white , "
and he appealed to the people of the south to
treat blacks and whites alike.
When quiet was .finally restored Air. Cum-
mingsof New York ) spoke against the bill.
The bill was a sectional one. The republican
party proposed to make the negro a chattel to
bo used as a coh'vejlience whenever neces
sary. I
Air. Henderson of Iowa read from the
speech of Air. Hemphilla passage declaring
that the whites must either rule or leave
the south , anil that they would not leave it.
Ho wanted no 'further proof than that
declaration that tfife blacks of South Carolina
would not bo allowed to exercise the rights
guaranteed by .tlio constitution. Ho felt
wan-anted in saMiig that it was as dangerous
as armed rebellion , anil ho meant it. Ho
then read from unliitcrvicw in which Rep
resentative Alills wriuotca as saying that
the passage of Yinbill' meant an in
creased number of deaths among fed
eral election ollleors intho south.
Ho did not know if this were true , but if so ,
it wns another defiance. Ho served notice
that the country would no longer submit to
the rule of the minority. Under Clod he do- '
clarcd that Grover Cleveland had had no
right to his scat in the white house and the
democratic party ahad not had an honest
majority in the house in twenty-live years.
Ho wanted to say that before ho should con
sent that the minority should govern the
majority ho would favor the protec
tion of every ballot box by
a killing bullet. [ Applause. ] The
house had been told that what was needed
was not a now south , but u now north. They
would get it. Tlio north had peacefully and
patiently submitted to this injustice. They
hud seen the control of the government by
red hands wrested from Its proper channels
and the new north was at hand , which would
enforce the law and the rights of every citi
zen. Let the south try a little justice. The
key to the situation was In the observation of
the law and where that could not be secured'
a law must be made to secure it. Ho spoke
briefly of the recent exhibition of the stars
and bars and confederate gray at Hichmond.
He would not have them forgot the tender
relations of the war , but he entered a protest
against being told that a new north was
needed when the flag of tlio dangerous south
was flaunting in the face of the republic.
The gentlemen might cry "liberty , liberty , "
but from the states from which many of
them came It seemed to him like satan wear
ing a cross when ho sought to promulgate
dark dogmas.
The conference report on the postollicc ap
propriation bill was adopted.
Air. Kwart of North Carolina , republican ,
opposed the passage of the election
bill. Unfortunately politics had como
to such n puss- that under the rule
of king caucus men would vote for measures
that deep down in their hearts they did not
believe in. As ' "
to the negroes' "political
rights , " speaking for his own state , ho un
hesitatingly assorted that no republican in
lho state , black or white , was prevented from
casting a vote , The elections there were
absolutely fair. The entire people of the
south should not bo blamed for the acts of a
few lawless men. Ho was sick and tired of
the Bdjitimental talk about the negro problem.
It was ik delusion to suppose tlio negro was
voting the repunlican ticket solidly. Ho
was doing nothing of the kind. Alany of
them wore voting the democratic ticket and
it was getting more and more difficult every
vear for the republican party to control tlio
negro. Ho hud no hesitation in saying that
not throe-tenths of the negroes of the south
would vote for -republican party if an
election was held tomorrow.

CHICAGO , Juno 23. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : line. ] The attempt to advance
western freight rates has met with another
set back on account of the wholesale
cutting of rates on merchandise between
Chicago and the west. Charges were freely
made today that those i-.itesMnul been cut 5 to
7 cents. If the charge3 arc proved the Alton
will not allow the advance of a solitary west
bound rate until It is satlslled the cutting has
ceased.
There Is no question of the advance in
rates and If the Alton can bo satisfied Its
competitors will use tlio advance honestly
and not as u means of cutting rates still
deeper. It Is not generally known , but It is a
fact , that all the lines between Chicago and
St. Paul have boon Ignoring the long and
hort haul clause of the interstate commerce
act. Tills Is done by making u through rate
from the seaboard to St , Paul of 71 cents ,
while to intermediate points a higher r.Uo
applies in each instance.
The plan of advancing rates will bo consid
ered at the general meeting of the western
lines next Wednesday. ° attempt will bo
made to raise cast bound grain from tlio Mis
souri river ns the Alton and Interstate com
merce commission , between them , uro more
likelv to lower these rates on account of their
continued manipulations.

ing between the Union Pacific coal depart
ment and the miners employed at Hock
Springs. Tlio question Is ono of screens ,
with which nil coal sent to tlio surface of the

will bo paid only for nut and lump coal.
The company claims that the quality of the
coal Is deteriorating und they cannot keep
some of their best customers , including the
Anaconda smelter , ' unless tlie coal is
Improved in quality under the nrcscnts.vstoni.
They claim that a good miner is paid no more
than the poor miner provided that they each
mine the snmo quantity , as its quality cuts
no figure.
The men , on the other hand , claim that the
coal company should only employ good
miners , that the introduction of the screens
means a subsequent reduction of wages. Tlio
Chinese ttnd Finlundeis linvo decided to
stand by the rest of tlio miners in case of u
strike. One mine has already been shut
