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. 'M2; McGinty, weight 3.YJ; W.
Kelly Fox, weight 337; Byron Clark,

W. A. Humphrey, 6 ft and 11 in. bom
oephathic dose, and divers other
persons of greater bulk and less
weight. It was indeed a masacre.
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.

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.

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."
