Yesterday was n busy day on the grounds
of the Omaha Tennis club. The courts were
tload from the start nnd the heavy shower
nt midday put moro \vatcr into them than
the hot sun of the afternoon took out , .
There was a fuirly big crowd of spectators
pros'ont during the afternoon , but not nearly
BO many"ns there was room for. It Is nnfor-
tunato that'the host games were played nt
J.lmcs when spectators nro detained by busi
ness or other duties from attending. Uttlo
wis done hi the afternoon until supper tlmo ,
ivlion many visitors had loft.
"Young nnd Howard Tilden were first In
court yesterday morning , and were also the
llrst out. Tildon captured three games in
each sot , hut was outclassed. Among other
cnrly matches of the day was Caldwoll's
very easy victory ever Mattocks. Caldwell
was quite at his host , nnd his bast is Indis
putably good. Ho lias an excellent first
service , but as Is usual with men who nro
strong nt this , fowof bis first services "como
off. " When ho succeeds in his llrst service ,
he can generally win , nnd this moro than
anything else is why ho ran nway from Mat
tocks and later in the day achieved a Tory
creditable Victory over Hart.
Golsthardt's victory over Battin early in
the morning was an easy ono. Battin was
ahead ior a short time near the beginning of
tbo match , but Geistbardt played bis usual
nggrcsslvo game and gave him few oppor
Utilities to score.
Austin I'urnUhM n Surprise.
Austin and Pierce were expected to 'have
n closer fight than they did. Austin has
acquired a splendid style nnd though ho is
no't yet a very sure player ho hits well , and
when nn easy ball comes to him ho seldom
falls to kill It. In the afternoon Austin ac
complished the overthrow of C. II. Young.
for which ho deserves considerable credit.
Young Is unfortunately suffering from a
sprained wrist , which malna his backhand
play moro than usually weak. But ho Is a
more experienced and practiced player than
Austin , nnd this fact was expected to carry
him through.
It Is Just a coincidence that the two young
Omaha boys who achieved unexpected suc
cess yesterday will today bo pitted against
the two Lincoln cracks. Austin's defeat of
Young brings him into the third round ,
\vhoro ho will knock up against Goisthardt ,
probably the most likely man in the event to
pot through to moot Cullingham for the
championship ; and Caldwell , by his defeat
of Hart will next como against Shepherd in
tbo semi-final. These two matches today
will attract quite a Httlo Interest. Geist
bardt will play Austin as early in the morn
ing ns possible , for the reason that ho hopes
to got through all his matches during the
dny so as to got hack homo tonight.
Another of the morning games was that in
which Dcniso overthrow S. B. Hicks , the
third Lincoln man who is competing in the
tournament. Doinso has got back his old-
time form , ami yesterday played as strong a
game as ho did last mouth in the city tournn
Aiiont. when ho all but won the singles. So
'far , this is the only singles match ho has
played this weok. but this morning ho wil
meet Brown in the third tound. and if he
Sets through will also have to play the win
Her of Austin against Geistbardt.
. Shepherd's' second round match against
George MoCacuo ? who hnd had n tough tus
sle'with Ha vorstick in the morning , 'in which
neither side showed up very conspicuously ,
was partially inilucnccd by thu .Vun. Shen-
lierd hnd the best court iu the first sot- and
again iu the third , and , although ho would
probably have won without , McCnguo was
playing 'a plucky game and wus certainly
handicapped by this.
_ * Doubles AVoro InteriMtlng.
A considerable amount of-weeding out was
done in the doubles , though iu the doing of
it some pretty play as well as ono or two
oxcltiucly close contests were seen. Web
ster , who had boon given a place with Hicks
to play Goisthardt and Shepherd , was
obliged to retire on account of nn injured
foot. This was unfortunate , for ho would
liavo improved his style considerably after a
few games with some of the plavers ho
would have mot hero. Similarly , although
nls style is not of the most approved
kind , ho could have given valuable
pointers to ihoso who played against
him. Mr. Wcbutor learned to play
in Virginia , und there acquired the
habit of placing his balls very methodically
and carefully. And tbo fact that bo usually
us.es both hands to swing his racket adds
to the accuracy of his placing , making up in
this way for much of the advantage that it
loses him in the loss of .time required to got
on to the ball. His scratching gave Culd-
well-n vrnlkovor .in Hie singles , but in the
doubles Mattocks , who had already been
vboatcn oncn , was allowed to take hla place
with Hicks.
Mattocks nnd Hicks against Gcisthardt
and Shepherd was the first doubles game
played yesterday. This was begun shortly
after noon , nnd was Interrupted nt the bo-
Kinning of ' , tbo third set by the rain ,
Goisthardt' and Shepherd. however ,
were two-sets in bund , and tholr op
ponents retired at this stage in order
that the next round might bo proceeded
with. In tbo afternoon Geisthurdt and
Shepherd were opposed by the McCuguo
brothers and very nearly allowed themselves
to got beaten , The MeCaguo boys started
out lu flno style , playing with plenty of vim
and energy. They were careful to keep to
tholr right places in the court and were
coldom caught napping , Their volleying was
particularly brilliant , and some of tholr
services also helped on their score. Tholr
apluru of the first sot brought them a round
of well incrlted applause , but no one ox-
peeled them to get any further. In the second
end , though , the Lincoln men wont nil to
nieces. They seemed to have completely
lost confidence in themselves. Shepherd's
placing was inaccurate and almost
wild , and Gelsthardt seldom niudo a
successful stroke , and the brothers won
the sot nt six games to three. Fur
a tlmo it loolcod ns if they would capture
the third set as well , but their vigor was
beginning to loll on them nnd when their
strength was most needed It was not to be
had. At the sumo time Shepherd nnd
Goisthardt began topull themselves
together , and from this point their way be
came Increasingly easier till they ran out at
three sets to two , twenty-six names to
twenty-two nnd 11 vo of tholr majority in
camos was gained in the Una ! set. This had
bum u lung and hard light , and it is a pity
there wore not more visitors present to
watch it.
Late in the day Cullingham and Battin
opened out against Murray and Johnson.
They took two sets and got to four games
nil in the third , but by this ttmo darkness
was coming on fast and Murray nnd John
son captured iho set. Tills , of course , neces
sitated a postponement of the match until
today. Another late match was that-in
which Hart und Cooksou got past 10d ami
AV. Wilbur. But for a short spurt In the
third set the Wilburs had little look in ,
Hart and Cookson winning easily.
Today I'roiuljoi Good 1'liiy.
Today there will bo some excellent play all
day Jong , and the people should turn out Ir
largo crowds , Tie | admission fee Is ralsod
to ! i > cents , but the standard of play will be
raised in proportion nnd there uro ennugl
peed .mulches on the cards to keep the inter
cst up throughout the dny. Tilden am
Clark will start out against McKull am
llrown ut 7 o'clock and at S Cullingham am
Batllu will bo ready to 11 iiish their motel
with Murray and Johnson , There will bi
twelve hours fast nnd exciting play durini
the day , anil all of It may bo seou for oni
* quarter.

NP.WPOUT , Aug. 17. The cup is safe. The
lefender is u good one. Sucli was the unani-
nous verdict of every expert yuohtscuiu
that witncsspd today's raoc off Breton's
leof. It was the llrst fair test of tbo merits
of the respective boats and the Vieilant
sailed like u witch jind stood up like a house.
Mo moro superb burst of sueed has over-boon
seen In this or any other country than that
nado by the Vigilant as she went around
; ho outer mark , saved her shoots and ran
'or the finish. It was not only a great vic
tory for tbo Vigilant , but the triumph of
American ideas and of the everyday eentur-
jonrcl , tbo typo of boat that has so ably de
fended the cup , thoroughly and effectively ,
outsailed fins , iinkeels and every other de

GAi.Esmmo , III. , Aug. 17. [ Special Tclo-
? rnra to Tun UKE. ] An important movement
Is on foot nmontr the leading railroads of the
west to gain the consent of the railroad
brotherhood to n reduotlon of wages. Each
road tms sotit n letter to the pnovanco com
mittees of the brotherhoods of its employes
to meet the management jind consider n
proposition to rcduco wages. 10 per cent nnil
two orthroo-such meetings have been "hold
already and the proposition submitted.
Other meetings are being arranged. The
grievance committees are invited because
they assist ; d in making up the present
schedules of pay ,
The management of the 'Mobllo ft Ohio
has requested such tt conference wltli the
general grievance committee of the Brother
hood of Hallway Trainmen to consider n
reduction to go into. effect September 1 and
it is understood the meeting will bo held at
Mobile August 20. The reduction proposed
would afTcct the conductors , brakotnon and
llromcn. The company jinys that the condi
tion of business makes" ' such a reduction
necessary. ,
The ClucnRO & Eastern Illinois has
already submitted an oral proposition for n
10 per cent reduction to the trainmen's
grievance committee , the reduction to take
effect September 1 and to bo in force only so
long as the hard times continue.
Unique Proposition.
The grievance committee was opposed to
the reduction and oiTerod to loan the com
pany wages at Interest. This proposition is
now before the brotherhood lodges of that
road's employes. The Chicago , Milwaukee
< fc St. Paul officials will , it is understood ,
meet the grievance committee of the truln-
men from that system tomorrow.
The Louisville & Nashville employes'
grievance committee and the road's ofllcials
are holding their meeting now nt Nashville ,
Tonn. , and the result la not known hero.
Propositions have been submitted to the
trainmen's committees on the Denver < fc Hlo
Grande and the Colorado Midland , ana in
formation Is that a similar proposition will
bo submitted on the Northern Pacific.
Grand Master Wilkinson of the Brother
hood of Hallway Trainmen Is hero and has
received many telegrams of inquiry from the
grievance committees and lodges. His gen
eral instructions to the grievance commit
tees are to attend the meetings and to re
ceive the propositions that the railroads
make. Ho has advised them to use discre
tion and to avoid useless agitation. The
committees are noVcjupuwcred to act on the
propositions to reduce pay , but are to sub
mit them to the Igdges on their respective
systems , and thoj , membership of each sys
tem is to vote on .the proposition. In case
the men reject jjiifl , proposition the grand
master will go before the management and
hear what it has to say and then advise the
men what to do. Just what the member
ship on the several. systems will do is uncer
tain , In union meetings of brothershood
men at Sioux City , , lav , and Chillicotho , Mo. ,
sentiment was decidedly against reduction.
The grand master Is advising a jusinmt
careful review of the situation and warning
against hasty or injudicious action.

DlHoiiKfi jtltn Situation.
CitiCAOO , Aug.-17- Tho-general managers
of the Chicago roads'-met .today to discuss
the situation. The -mooting was a failure
and not 4v single eastern line , > vas repre
sented. The. discussion closed with the ap
pointment of a committee which will worlc
up a meeting , to bo held in September. It
was generally supposed that the question of
reducing wages would be taken up , bui it
was not , and the moo .ing was entirely gen
eral in its character. There is'a well defined
fear among many of thu lines that tbo exist
ing financial conditions may force one or two
weaker lines into the hands of receivers ,
who will run the lines with tbo solo Idea of
making enough money to pay expenses , nnd
who will bo heedless of association agree
ments. To ward off any possible disorganiz
ing of business from this source , nnd to devise -
vise means of saving such of the small fry
as may got into deep water , was another
reason for the calling of the mooting , but in
this respect also nothing was done. Other
matters were disposed of in the same way ,
und nothing looking toward action was done.
People iu the west desiring to attend the
Grand Army of the Republic encampment
at Indianapolis can buy a ticket at the regu
lar World's fair rate to Chicago and pay
$3.05 for the round trip from Chicago to In-
dlanunolis. All -visitors to the encampment
must go via St. Louis or Chicago , the round
trip rate via St. Louis from Kansas Citv
being $14.50 and via Chicago $1S.15. This
was decided at the meeting of the Western
Passenger association today. Any number
of schemes wore proposed for lower rates ,
but nil were sat upon.
The matter of low rates to the fair for
Illinois day was killed outright. The ballot
ing on this wiis secret , hut the highest num
ber of votes cast for any plan for lower rates
was six out of a possible twenty.

publication of n , letter by Brayton
Ivos , severely denunciatory of Henry
Villaid's management of the company and
the announcement that a Philadelphia stockholder -
holder was about to proceed against Mr.
Villard. Another point of interest was the
developments respecting the lioating debt
and the discovery that .1. D. Rockefeller
would not servo us a director of the road.
The announcement of Mr , Rockefeller's
proposition excited rnucK' conjecture. July
20 Villard resigned from the road , and said
the affairs of the road were In good condi
tion. Mr. Vlllard's.jjesiKimtIon was to take
effect July 10 , au uim July 17 Mr. Rocke

United States Attorney John Rood today
addressed a formal communication to the di
rectors of tun Northern Pacilla to request
permission to bring a suit lu the name of the

ST. Ijoins , Aug. 17. The San Francisco
train , No. 4 , duo to arrive here this morning
was hold up by two men at St. .lames , Mo. ,
this morning and robbad. The safe was
opened , but the amount taken is yet un
known.
Express Messenger Ferguson this after
noon hold a long consultation with Acting
Chief of Detectives Alehle. Ho was unable
to give n very good description of the rob
bers. Ho was quite familiar with the color
nnd make of their clothing , but owing to the
fact that they were Improvised masks of
handkerchiefs ovcrthoir faces , ho could not
give a description of their faces. A\ hen the
train was within two miles of St. .lames ho
felt : i hand placed on his shoulder , and , look
ing around , saw two masked men dressed in
dark clothes , coats buttoned all the way up
and wearing slouch hats , holding revolvers
athis bead. Ojio of them romniked :
"We've got you now ; open up the box , "
meaning the safe. Ferguson obeyed.
"When the safe was opened ono robber
grabbed several packages , They could not
too through the safe , which was concealed
by several coops of chickens , and , apparently
satisfied with the plunder , they backed out
of the car.
In explaining how the robbers gained
such easy access to the car , Messenger
Ferguson said there was a great shipment
of poultry from Missouri points on the road ,
and it was found necessary in order to
give the poultry 'rash air , to leave
both end doors of the express ear open.
The coops of chickens were packed in
frpntof these doors. Itwnsquita easy , ho
said , after the robbers bsanled the plat
form , for them to enter the car. They
simply moved several coops aside and this
done they were in the car. The noise of
the moving train ho thinks prevented his
hearing the robbers until they got the drop
on bun.
Late tonight the express odlcliils state
that the amount secured by the robbers was
not over $230.
