Yesterday afternoon witnessed a most aus picious opening of the championship base ball season In Omaha for 1893 , and aH a con- Beaiiciicc the goose Is suspended at a very high altitude. The weather was charming , the crowd large , and the game brilliant , exciting nnd cll played , especlallly on the part of the Walsh family. Them was n good deal of apprehension felt during the morning , owing to the om inous aspect of the weather. The sky was veiled with leaden clouds , and there was a humid flnccldlty that suggested rain. The average fan was on needles. He couldn't en dure the thought of having the opening game postponed for rain , and many n so licitous glance was cast heavenward dur ing the dragging hours of the morning , nut , for the nonce , Old Jupiter Pluv was gracious. Ho had frowned merely to give the cranko a scare , and Instead of pulling the string to the celestial bath tub he got n hustle on about lunch time arid shoved all the threatening nebula off over the horizon , leaving an expanse of sky of an Italian hue o'crspreadlng the budding earth , amidst a deluge of spring sunshlno warm enough to bake a hen. Hut It was base ball weather , arid almost Instantly the city took on a most lively and exhilarating air People came out onto the streets like the little busy bee In a field of blooming clover , and there was much re joicing nnd congratulation and n scurrjlng to and fro , with Handle's pipe foundry as a gravitating point. There Is where the parade formed , a glit tering pageant , composed of the OJd Fellows' band arid i. long line of barouches' , contain ing the two teams In uniform , the city and county ofllclals , military heroes , medical lu minaries , bankers , lawyers and newspaper curiosities. In the long procession of great men I noticed Mayor IJcrnls , with benignant smile nnd snow-capped dome , along with the muni cipal solons , Calm , Howell , Mercer , Ken- nard , Gordon , Holmes , Lomly , niirkley , Edwards - wards , Kment and Taylor ; then there was City Clerk HlRby. City Treasurer llolln , Building Inspector Deverlll , Holler Inspec tor Loudenberg , City Electrician Schurlg , License Inspector Hurst , Assistant Treas urer Fead , Sergeant-at-Arms Planck , Com missioners lialcombc and Kasper , Secretary Powers of the Hoard of Public Works , Police Commlslsoners Coburn , Hartnian and Strlck- ler , County Treasurer trey , Sheriff Urexel , Coroner Maul , County Clerk Sackett and Hon. Peter Elsasscr. Of course there were others , but these were th3 great men on ex hibition. . From the moment the long line was In motion the whole metropolis was fairly be side Itself with the glories of the national game , and you couldn't distinguish anything amidst the marlginoui murmur that swelled upon the air but base hits , runs and outs The molormen , the newsboys , bootblacks and chop house habltuee ; In fact , almost every body gave everthing the go-by to discuss the Walsh family chances with the husky brown-clad cohorts from Qulncy. OUT AT THE PAIUC. By 3 o clock the Charles Street park pre sented a stirring picture. The blue sky , sunehlnc and starting grass made a back ground to the study that was entrancing In deed. The stands wera crowded with gay spring bonnets and vernal raiment of hun dreds of ladles , all of which shows what a hold the glorious sport Is getting1 upon the gentler ex. Each fair attendant was pre sented with a souvenir picture and a bouquet as she pissed In at the gate. On either side the bleachers were Jammed with eager faced men and bojs , and altogether the throng was a magnificent one. At 3:30 : Mayor Denils , with his bonnet In his hand , made his appearance In the open space In front of the grand stand , and In a few well chosen words welcomed the II- tlnolsans , and then after n paragraph or two of advice and encouragement to the Omahogs , ho tossed a brand new ball to Umpire Ward and the game was , ready for tapping. And It was a great one. In harmony with all the Inaugural concomitants , and better than all , Omnlia won. livery man phyed good ball , even unto llttlp Willie O'Hrlen , who as yet has had no opportunity to limber up his symmetrical limbs , or get the corn cobs out of his hair. Hill IS fresh from the farm , where he has been grazing through the hyperborean months. Sundry representatives of the Qulncy team were aso | on hand , but some * hdw or other they became lost In tha shuf fle. When not engaged In chasing two- baggers nnd oth'r speedy vegetables over the velvety outfield , they were slicing the Jocund atmosphere Into railroad kandwlches and expending their brawn In wild and de lirious stabs at the warp and woof that Louis Napoleon Halsz was weaving across the rub ber plate. When the battle was over hut eight of the Quinces had succcded In sKatlng around the bases , while no less than fifteen of the Walshes had made the pilgrimage. Grasshopper Ulrlch picked up his war club ind strode to the plate. Ills face was full of emotion nnd llnccut tobacco , The popu lace clapped Its hands and flopped Its lungs. Everylwdy expected Georglo to do some thing , nnd he did. He rapped a warm ono flown to McCormack. Mack made an erratic.il match at It with his left hand , and then his right. Then he attempted to Jump on It , and when he did finally connect and hurl It Dver to Ptek-a-Boo Veach , the Grasshopper nas preening his feathers on the bag ! Seeing that ho was easy. Old Hutch like wise sent ono down to McCormack , nnd In his rnnddlng ambition to ntone fcr his first blunder Mack threw this one clear over Pcek-a-Iloo's fair young head The Grast- hopper swarmed homo , while Old Hutch reached third. Manager Hrackctt arose hastily from his teat on the bench A foreboding had pene trated his thoralc department and his mug nas filled with pain He looked as If he nould lIKe to go and chloroform himself and Ircam that he was born dead. Colonel Shaffer was not so fortunate ns his predeceisors , He was blotted out at first. Out Willie O'Brien was coming. WILLIE MADE A SINGLE. Prcbably next to himself Willie Is the itrongcst evidence and ( lie brightest example now living of what may be done by an am bitious joiing man when he tries. He made two slashes In quick suction at ! he bill , and missed It both times , Then he itruck n Kansas City attitude , looked at llr , Nichols and seemd to bo contemplating. Df ccurse this was all assumed , A base ball player never contemplates , because he has adlilng to contemplate with. Hut he soaked her. It vas a clean single , the first of the pa me , nnd on It Old Hutch scored. Then Lehman nnd Slagle were extinguished and the Quinces carna In. Merles faced Louis Napoleon resolutely , md as a reward was allowed to walk. Hut It was a short promcnaJe , fcr on Mr. Strong- iri's tap down to Old Hutch both runners ivre doubled up In pig style. Tint was tail p'a > lng. Jack Fsrrtll thtn came along with a hit , ul In attempting to steal he was cruelly ind rudely thrutt aiide by n t'gbtnlng throw of Petle Lohnian'e. Irr the tetond thno eld pardi , Paddy Miles ind Ignatius Donnelly , a pair ot A. P. A.'s , furnished easy cuti , Nick throw Paddy out it flnt ind Sammy Li Rocqu did a like 'avor for the author ot Kag-nn-Ilock. NepokoQ lluu fitooJ at the brlJge of Lodl.

I I * waj a homo run and myl how glad the I poonlg weff , ' { Mr lal < z was born In the glow of a wet moon. In their half the Qulncys made their first tally , McCormack made a two-bapKer , nnd he wag cheered. The crowd know that It required a good deal of genuine courage for a man to appear humorous nnd sparkling otter a couple ot Innings like Man had played , and hey meant to encourage htm. Uoland brought him In on a hit and the ex- Itrmerit ceased , as Ho was switched oft at lecond by Miles. Slavic mndo circus catch f Illckey's fly oud La llocquc fouled out to ur Pete. TOUGH ON HAIWY nUACKUTT. Tor tlio Walsh family a base on balls to Shufe , an error by La Kocquc and a scion- Iflu bunt by Lohrnan filled the basoa. The rottd was wild and so was Brackott. He arose from his seat and then cat down ngaln ml when NIckoU plugged Single with the ball nnd forced Shafe In he was seen In a hcattd controversy with himself. What fu : uio generations may say about Mr. Nichols' .ntelllgetico nn. ! statesmanship I know not , but I nm positive Colonel Hracketf * remarks regarding his pitching ability will be any- ilnK but complimentary. Mllog then hit to the pitcher and Wllllo was killed at the plate , and on Donnelly's hit to licltcy a like fate befell Pete ; but still the ba 'i were full , with Louis Napoleon once moru at the bat. Nichols quailed before him , His throat was becoming parched nnd hu had an Indis tinct Idei tlmt ho was not deporting himself with tlmt dignity and lucidity for which Mr. Ilrackett had hircl him. He nerved himself nnd aimed a liner at Louis' left eir , but LouU was on the alert nnd ho caught It a whsck that left a blue dado nil around the horizon of the park It WKA only a "Ingle , but both Slnglo tnd Miles scored. The Quinces cams right back with two runs , and In the fourth , after Omaha had garnered her seventh tally on hits by Shaf fer , O'Brien and Lohmnn , they retaliated with a gob of three , within one of tying the score. Hut that was the nearest they over came to accomplishing this feat , and after that they were not dangerous nt any point In the road. To clinch the thing , the Omahas gathered themselves together once more In the seventh Inning and fairly stuffed the early summer zenith with balls. They had been finding Mr Nichols' curves with refreshing frequency , and in this Inning Peter Lehman flitted to the willow like n fair fragrant posy from the wlldwood glen torn. He glued his gieat fawn-like eyes to the ball and rammed his club down Its open mouth. It burned a hole In the middle of the afternoon , and Pctlo new over the uni verse clear to flist base , only to bo forced out at second by Single , Paddy Miles sallied forth and welted the ball out into the cast , where a cluster of lace-like cloudlets floated as In a dream. He landed on second. Then Ignatius said something In a low , cooing voice , and also leant up against the ball for a pair of bags. Ilalsz went to first on a fumble by Hlckcy , while Ulrlch and Old Hutch hit for a pillow apiece. You should have seen Manager George Washington Urockctt , and looked Into the mysterious workings of his face. He had been watching the Omahas bend forward one after another nnd lambaste Mr. Nichols with their terrible clubs , nnd when the Grasshopper galloped In with the fifth run that wns too much. Ho wrinkled his brow up like the lid of a hair trunk , nnd then sat down and burled his face In his hands. He wept. After the game was over Uncle Dave took It up In his hands and caressed It like a little red baby. He smoothed Its curls and stroked Its cheeks , then ho wrapped it up In an old newspaper , took It home , and varnished It and burled It behind the barn. In conclusion , let me repeat that It was a great game and a great championship open ing. All of the Omahas played fine ball. Miles coming In for an especial share of adulation. Old Hutch , too , was much In ev idence , and Ulrlch , Lehman , O'Hrlen and Shaffer. Halsz's pitching was gilt-edged , and the umpiring of Mr. Ward parexcsllenco It self. As to the Qulncvs , they were consider ably off , yet It Is evident that they ore a formidable aggregation , and will bo up In the race at the end. Score : OMAHA. AB. U. HII. SH. SB. PO. A. E.

SIOUX CITY , May 2.-Some Interesting facts In connection with the recent Strange trials hro were brought out on th ? public > - tlon this morning of the schedule of bills al lowed ] at the April session of the board of supervisors , At the January term of court cx-Suporvlsor Walter Strange was tiled on the charge ot obtaining money by false pre tenses. The state BUbpoemiM about fifty wit nesses and Strange about COO. The case wets tried and resulted In a disagreement of the Jury. At the March term there was another trial , at which the same witnesses wcro called again. Strange was finally acquitted , and at the conclusion ot the cases the presiding judge ordered the payment of all the witnesses subpoenaed. At the recent cession of the county board all the fee claims were accord ingly allowed. The published schedule shottH that fully thrceifourths ot tha witnesses tub- poenaeil by Strange wrro never put on the stand. They drew fees , however , amounting In the two cases to nearly $1,000. It was developed that Strange purchased the fee chlms of most of th'se witnesses at nominal figures so that ho drew practically all this money himself. It Is strongly Intimated tint Strange- subpoenaed many witnesses for whom there was no use , with the understanding that ' he was to rcceivo the lion's share of the fees , and that the witnesses , who were mostly poor men , were to be paid for their trouble with wlntever baline"1 rein lined after Strange's sluro had come out.
