Tii * homo team had vowt-d revenge for yes
terdny's experience , and betting was frco
that the green onrth would Ira duly moppcc
with the rlsltors.and a strenuous effort was
j.We for that purpose.
Billy Hart went Into the box and ho
emptied his vlnocnr barrel In his effort to
win. For flvo Innings fate scomod against
the visitors.
In the second Inning the homo team pol
two tallies. Shlobcck got the llrst on Fields'
bad throw and Hole second , lOirrl'o got to
llrst base on bulls nnd both advanced on
S'.raujs' sacrifice , nnd scored on Morrlssoy's
smj'lo.
in the fifth Inning Hart , got n base on balls ,
the fourth ball going wild and letting him to
Bi'cond , and Swartwood brought him In with
a pretty hit.
So far thn visitors Were unable to seoro.
In the second Inning Dungan and Flanagan
got as far ns second and third bases , but by a
close play the third man was cut off at first
b.tso. In the fifth inning they got Stein as

It wai In the sixth inning , after a good
dcnl of hard luck that the tables were suO-
dculy turned. McGlouo cot a base on balls ,
but was crowded ofT nt second by Dungan.
McClellan hit n flno ono to right Held and
than Flannngan getting a base on balls the
buses were full. Thorcopon Shields knocked

nltliough Swnrtwood got under It and
claimed It got In the sun , the material fact
remains that ho did not save the liy , and the
baios were cleared. Fields scored on Walsh's
sacrifice.
In the very next inning the visitors contin

Day got a single and stele second. McGlono

Clint About the < lii ! > nnd the Outlook
lor tlio SOIIHOII.
The Western association Is now hard at
work on a four club basis , and will undoubt
edly finish tbo season In this form. The
Omaha's will return Thursday morning from
Sioux City , and In the afternoon meet the
Kansas CUys lu thu tlr.st of a series of four
gumes the 2Tth , 2.Slh , 2'Jth and Both. On
September 1 , 2 , ! 1 nnd1 Denver will bo hbro
niid on the 6th , Oth , Tth and 8th the Sioux
I'ltys. Until Saturday Manager Leadloy
was the next thing without pitchers , but
now has McNnbb , Hart and Stein , nnd ho
considers the team as strong ns any In thn
association. Until recently the boys have
been hitting well , nnd It was only poor work
in the box that lost them so many games. In
the last two games , however , the twirling
tins been superb , and there Is but little doubt
but what the Lambs will quickly pick UP lu
their stick work again. Anyway It is safe to
gunrantco good hall , nnd the public , who nro
iiioro or loss Interested lu the club's fortunes
for another year , will likely strain a point In
giving It good support for the balnnco of the
M'uson. In Manager Leadloy Omaha 1ms n
manager sho. can feel proud of. Ho is nn
educntod , cultured nontlemnn , and ranks
high In the estimation of the base ball world.
Another season and as tlnb base ball as has
ever been softn In ' .his city will bo forthcom
ing under his competent management.

CIUCAOO , 111. , Aug. 21. The Indiana
Illinois & Iowa road has rrmclo appllcatlot
for memborshlp In the Western Freight
association. Ordinarily this would not bo
remarked as a circumstance worthy of
special mention , slnco Uii line In question Is
simply a short link forming a connection bo-
twecn certain eastern and western roads
But considering the stir that was recently
occasioned by the alleged manipulation o
through rates via this connecting link , a
peculiar significance Is given to the ovont.
A few months ago s'omo of tbo Chicago
lines began to protest that rates were no
Doing maintained by certain of their com
petltors. The reason glvon was that the
great bulk of through freight between the
Missouri river mid eastern points was being
diverted to the Pcorin route , via the Indiana
Illinois k Iowa road. The latter line , boinj
in a position to exact a division of the
through rate both from Its eastern and Its
western connections , was found to bo receiv
ing at least double pay for the sorvlco
It performed. The complaint WAS thai
It used u portion of this money
to inlluence shippers , thereby securing busi
ness by the manipulation of rates. Not be
ing a member of any association It was not
subject to the rules and regulations that
govern other roads , but Chairman Mldgloy
issued nn order to the wcstarn connection of
the Indiana , Illinois it Iowa directing them to
cancel thnlr joint tariffs with that line on
Missouri river trallic. The roads chiefly
affected by this ordiT were tbo Burlington
and tlio Atliison. Both refused to
obey It. An appeal was taken to the
board of commissioners of the Western Traf-
llc association of which those companies
are members , and the question was partially
considered at the mooting of August 11. It
U to como lip for final action at the next
mooting of the commisiloners , September 4 ,
and th ore has boon no qnoniou up to this
time as to what the decision will bo. The
question to bo decided is what divisions
shall Do mada wltti roads not members of the
Western Freight association in cases where
such divisions are not within the jurisdiction
of the joint commission. Foreseeing the out
come of this agitation , the Indiana , Iowa &
Illinois has taken steps to become
a member of the association and so avoid the
threatened punishment. There is liltlo doubt
that It has benn advised to do this by tlio Bur
lington and Atchison and perhaps by the
Chicago & Alton , tuoso being the three roads
interested.
I'O'TI'OXKD ACTION' .
The joint con ) ink too of Urn Trunk Line and
Central TrafllcA associations has issued a cir
cular announcing that tlio reductions in the
east and west-bound freight rates , previously
authorized on account of tlio change atGranil
Rapids , will not _ become effective September
1 , the data originally announced. The ma
jority of the Michigan lines , however , have
already issued their tariffs , to go Into effect
oil that date ana will probably not consent to
the dolny. Chairman Blnnchard bos called a
meeting of the intnrestea lines for tomorrow.

DnrliiK Attempt , to Wreck and lob !
n 'Ira I n.
MEMPHIS , Tonn. , Aug. 24. A daring
attempt was made to wreck a train on the
main line of the Illinois Central road yester
day. Had the northern bound accommoda
tion train from Water Valley to Grand Junc
tion been going ton mllus nn hour faster
there would have boon an awful disaster.
About snven miles north of Holly Springs , '
carpenters were repairing u bridge. As the
north-bound train como In sight of the brldgo
the engineer noticed that ono rail scorned to
bo unduly elevated. Ho quickly applied the
nlr brakes , and reversed his engine. It was
well ho did. As the engine went on the
brldgo it was discovered that a plcco of iron ,
known as a stirrup among bridgomen , had
been securely fastened to tlio rail nnd would
have thrown any train from the track.
Luckily only the front trucks of the engine
loft thu rails.
Word was soon sent along the road , and
soon after a posse of men , with M. L. Brewer
of Holly Springs at their head , went in pur
suit of the perpetrators of the deed.
In the excitement of the narrow escape
from being thrown with his train from the
brldgo into the water below , the engineer
noticed two n cirrous sneaking away through
thu bushes. Suspicion wa ; directed toward
them. The posse heard of the negroes belnir
seen in the vicinity and an accurate descrip
tion was securca of both.
After a chase of several hours Mr. Brewer
caught the two negroes. They gave their
names us Will Frost and Will McDowell.
Tuoy were separated by tbo posse , and each
sniii enough to implicate the other. They
were confronted by witnesses and confessed
to bnvitiir dnno the deed. Froit said Mc
Dowell had n largo axe , which ho Intended to
u.so for breaking open coaches in case of a
wreck
Tbo negroes were taken to Holly Springs
and jailed. Both have the reputation of
licing hum characters nnd it is thought that
they intended to wrccK the tralu for the pur-
poio of robbery.

HANOVEH , N. H. , Aug. 24. Miss .Toannotto
Thomas , n relative of Prof. Potteo , whoso
connection with the Almy case has often boon
referred to , tells a story of a midnight visit
received from the murderer July 15 , two days
before the murdur of Christie Warden. This
night Miss Thomas slept in the room usually
occupied by Christie Warden when she
stayed at the house of Prof. Puttee. She
was aroused in her sloop by a nojso In the
room , when she sat up and asuod who was
thero. Her throat was instantly grasped by
a hand and a volno whispered : "Keep still ;
I'll not Injure you. "
The Intruder then asked her If this was not
Christie Warden's room , and where Christie
was. Miss Thomas told him Christie had
loft'tho house In thenfternooii. Ilodomandcd
to know Miss Thomas' Identity nnd then said
to liar :
"I am the lover of Christie Warden. Her
parents and sisters oppose my suit and 1 can
not see her nt homo. "
He then said to her : "Don't ever mention
this night's ' work to her or anybody. You
see how it Is. If It were known that any man
Had entered her chamber at night her repu
tation would bo blasted forever. You would
not want to have that occur , now
would you I" ho asked with a sarcastic
lltugh. Ho then pressed u pistol
against her breast and made her swear
never to betray him. Ho then said ho had
boon in the room before , and asked If the
door was fastened. Mias Thomas know by
this that ho was lying , as the door has no
fastening on it. lie then torr-ed an object
into her hand which proved to boa41-calt-
bro revolver cartridge. Ho told her to guard
it cnrefnllv nml let it. nlwnvN ho n rnmlnilnr of
her oath , for if she over breathed u syllable
of this affair ho would kill hor. The in'truder
then departed.
Miss Thomas' story confirms a theory that
had long obtained among thosa interested in
tlin case , but was withheld from the public.
Almy was wildly jealous of Prof. Pattco. nnd
this jealousy was Of tbo most cruel and un
just suspicion born , involving thi ) professor
and Miss Warden. Tills undoubtedly nc-
ooutits for the midnight viilt to Pntteo's
louse , where the murderer hoped to find sub
stantial proof of his suspicions nnd went
irmed with his two revolvers prepared to
