JOHNSON BUILDINGN Sixth St P TOO MUCH ANT1POSE TISSUE Tne Oreat Ball Came Between the Fats and Leans Results in a Victory for the Fats. There was a sight for the Gods to g-aze upon yesterday at the ball park. For many days the city has been stirred to its utmost depths by stories of the coming battle and many a family has been broken and seared by a vague fealing of unrest. For days past have V. L. Brown, Mike Murphy, Kelly Fox, D. C. Mc Ginty, C. V. Sher.min, Byron Clark and Ed Oliver and others of their ilk been boasting of the triumph that was to be; and yesterday they earned a noble victory. They way laid and sand-bagged an elongated swindle-shanked mass of humanity and a cold unfeeling crowd wept not. neither did it wail. To picture it: Mike Murphy, weight 37(i, Bill Brown.

Ami Todd, armed to the teeth, offici ated as umpire and by rank de cisions forever blasted his pros pects for the county treasurership. He was notoriously in favor of the fats and dark rumors of corrupt practices and growlers were numer ous. McGinty went into the box for the fats and pitched a tine game, Conn cilman Browne with awe, essayed to catch but owing to his great corpo rosity and the slimness of the pro tector and in a measure to his great brain cap and such a small mask he was forced to retire to second left field. His inability to hold Mc Ginty's sharp in and out drops greatly amused the audience. He distinguished himself, however, at the bat pounding Dickson all over the lot. In the first inning he knocked the ball over the fence for a home run bringing in Lumber Deal Bill Browne in front of him. The race from third to home was very exciting. Dave also made a marvelous catch of a high hit fowl after a long run winning wild ap plause. In the midst of the uproar some villian in the grand stand started to whistle "Down Went Mc Ginty," and he now sleeps beneath ihe daisies. Mc went into catch in the fourth Mining and W. Kelly Fox pitched the game out. Kelly will have to brace up and put more Fn glish on 'em or Dickson will knock him out of the box this fall. Henry Bons had an exciting col lision on first base with Hackney of the Riley hotel and the slim man got first .blood. Mike Murphj- and Bill dishing did the principal base running for the fats and their slides to bases were immense. Claus Brekenfeld officiated as coacher and his violent demonstra tions at times caused apprehension among his colleagues. Buck Adams played second but for fear of being protested called himself Byron Clark. He fielded in marvelous style. Dickson and Gering pitched for the leans and Gering has signed as change pitcher with the Nonpareils He has a good head and when he thought that the batsman meditated hitting the ball he gave him his base on balls. At one time he be came enraged at the umpire and Todd had to press him with his little finger to restore the equilib rium of his mind. Dr. Humphrey and Roe Craig both became afflicted in their lower limbs during the game and fell to the ground with unusual speed and vigor. Frank Morgan became abstracted during a delay in the game and tried to coax Showalter to buy a now bat of him. Showalter was rescued after a great loss of wind and played the game out under po lice protection. Fred Herrmann tried to use Ed Oliver's ear for a tax receipt in the third inning- and greatly amused the spectators. Windham on first played the game of his life. UnruhjOliver and Carruth and numerous others of the fraternity request that no mention be made of their short-comings and we gladly comply with their request. Carruth was a little weak at the bat and when he faced Malt Gering he was visibly affected. Oliver played professional ball and gave the lean pitchers a choice roast. Unruh will get his work in today. Score. Fats 4 8 2 6 S-18 Leans 2 3 2 10 1--1S Bits Leans 2, Fats 17. Eirora Leans !7, Fa I s 70.

WEEPING WATER. FROM THE EAf.LE. Died Charles Foster, of Nehav.-ka August 1st, 1891, of diphtheria, aged 7 years. Died J'ltiies Bruce, Mt. Pleasant August 1st, 1891, of consumption. Aged 74 years, Interred of Mt. Pleas ant church. Miss Minnie Bates, of Plattsmouth arrived here Monday, and will be the guest of her cousins Misses F;ila and Lillie Bates. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sackett ?will be defendants in a suit brought against them by Charles Hintiich son, for poising a horse. The time for hearing is not jet known. All the parlies reside in this city. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Wolcott companied by their guests, ac Mr. Fenn and daughter, of Talmadge, Ohio, visited the Turlington farm in Otoe county last week. They pronouce it one of the most interest ing places to visit in eastern Ne braska. Mrs. Joseph Allison who died a little over two months a-ro at her home in Fviigland, bequeathed the sum of $oG0 in cash to J. H. Halde mau of the city and makes him the sole excutor of her estate, valued at over $40,000. The will was jinade in 1878, and was deposited for along time in the vault of Cass county in charge of County Judge Russell. It was withdrawn from there by her husband and sent to England. Mr. H. not hearing from it or her for a long time, thought that a new will had been made, and that he was not in it. His surprise can be imagined when he received the will last week, and a certificate of the death of the lady attached. Frttm. Saturday's Daily Obituary. Died Last evening at 4, p. m., Mrs. Mary Carney, age OS years, mother-in-law of Robert Martin. Mrs. Carney came to this country from Ireland at the age of two years. She had been an invalid for sometime her death being linallj caused by blood poisoning together with the refusal of the gall bladder to perform its proper function. The case is peculiarly a remarkable one. About twenty years since Mrs. Carney' received a bruise on the leg which continued to be painful up to her death. She recently applied some ointriKii: with a view of healing the sore. The poisonous matter was forced through the body thus rendering the blood poisonous. The most note worthy development, however, was made at the post mortem exmina tion held by Dr. Scheldknech as sisted by Dr. E. L. Siggins, when r3 stones, ranging from the size of a large bean to a bird egg, weighing in all over 6 drams, were taken from the gall bladder. These stones, must have been sometime forming are purely of sedimentary origin and compare favorably in appear ance with the ordinary pebble or sand stone foundalongourstreams. These stones are thought to have interfered" with the performance of the proper function of the organ. Funeral will be preached at. the Catholic church at 8 a. m. to morrow and leave on 9:2.1 for Oma ha. Forty-eight million people in this country have to buy their bread. After the sub-treasury trust scheme is perfected and the price of wheat forced up 90 per cent these 48,000, 000 people doubtless will break their necks in trying to vote the peoples' party ticket. A still greater number are compelled to buy their cotton goods. Of course, the cotton trust, engineered by the wheel horses of the sameMesiah (r), will make them its enthusiastic supporters. Flvidently the workingmen are not universally pleased with the eight-hour law, as its sanguine sup porters argued. The bricklayers are the only class of laborers now working- on the court house that prefer to observe the law. They argue and it appears to be a rea sonable view that they are not benefitted when it conies to cutting down their weekly pay, an amount equal to twelve hours' work. One thing appears certain, however viz., if the laboring men are materi ally benefitted by the law, it must be almost universally observed.

Many strange things have been told :oncerning the secrets of the grave. Within the past few months discoveries aave been made in Missouri and Iowa ;hat people have been buried alive, but ;he strangest discover" was made in Colchester a few days ago, viz., that, ifter having been buried twenty-one fears, the body of Miss Flora Hume is n as perfect a condition as the day she lied. Twenty-one years ago the lidy died in St. Paul of pneumonia and the body was brought to Colchester and buried in the Axgyle cemetery. That cemetery has long since fallen into disuse, and recent- i !y it was laid out in nicely improved grounds. The few graves in it were re moved, and among the dead was the body of Miss Flora Hume. It was in closed in a metallic case. This was cov ?red with a heavy coat of rust. When tne cover was removed there lay the body perfectly intact. The features were readily recognized by relatives, ind the clothing looked perfectly fresh. Even a ribbon of delicate tint about the neck was as bright and fresh as when it had been first put on. The face was not in the least discol ared, and the body was full and round. In fact, the corpse looked as though it might have been buried only a few tiours. Quincy (111.) Herald. In a Miser's Hut. A dispatch from Columbia, S. C, says: "Uncle Billy Bost, an eccentric char acter of Cabarrus county, N. C. , is dead. He was a bachelor, about eighty years old. His only companions were two iogs and an old negro. His real estate sonsisted of 1,800 acres of land, which he left to his nephews. He had a safe which was thought to hold thousands of dollars, but when it was opened the only money found was a nickel. However, in bureau drawers, in old cupboards, in pitchers and jars, in old clothes closets, in old stockings and in cracks in his miserable house was found $10,000 in ?old, besides a large quantity of gold lust and bullion and a few hundred dol lars in greenbacks. "In the search a package from a Char lotte bank was found containing $700 that had never been opened. This was received by him in 1880. He had corn and bacon on hand four years old, and some hay that had been stacked for twenty-five years. He made his will only three weeks ago, and there is much talk of contesting it, for some of his kin have been left without anything." The Way an Artlat Reason. Here is a characteristic Etory abov.t the great Parisian man milliner: A lady of high position once ventured to remon strate with the great man because he had charged her 120 for a ball dress. "The . material," she said, "could h bought for twenty pounds, and turelv the work of making up would be well paid with five pounds more."
