Tom Parmcle and Will Stadleman, two of our young sports, challenge any two boys in the city under 1G years to shoot twenty-five glass balls, eighteen yards rise. They are open for engage ment any time. There will be a meeting of Encamp ment No. 3, I. O. O. F. tonight at their lodge room. The meeting will be held for the purpose of installation of officers. A full attendance is earnestly requested. Ky order of the chief patriarch. L. O. Larson, secretary. The base ball club of the supply de partment of the B. & SI and champions of the store house clubs, will play the carpenters' club, the champions of the mechanical department, tomorrow after noon on the ball ground on "Fitz's Forty" south of the city. The game will be called at 5 o'clock, sharp. It is expected that these two clubs will play a fine game. Mr. J. C. Eikenbary returned from Camp Clark, Cheyenne county, last night, where he has been for the past few days. This morning he was called to Greenwood to secure a man by the name of Owens, from Broken Bow. an accomplice of Mc Qee, who obtained money in this vicinity under false pretenses. Owens had his preliminary hearing at Greenwood this morning. Mr. J. C. Eikenbary is nursing a sore hand which has caused him considerable trouble since it was injured. The sore originated from a scratch which he re ceived from Mack Jones, the insane man whom he took to the asylum at Lincoln a short time ago. Jones in one of his fits scratched his hand severely between the thumb and first finger, and since then his arm has been swollen to his shoulder. The sore has been quite a source of an noyance. An error occurred in a local yesterday which stated that a club from Weeping Water played a club of this city on the ball grounds. A club consisting of the young clerks played a club of boys known as the "Browns." The game ended in favor of the clerks by a score of 23 to 21. The young clerks have been crowing considerable over their success, as they say the boys of the Browns held them selves away up in professional estimation, and since the clerks defeated them they feel a little sore. Dr. James L. Thayer, general agent for Sam MacFlinn's great shows, is in the city today negotiating for that company. If a desirable location can be secured the show will visit our city for three days, the 13th. 14th and 1.1th. This i n W i termed a ten cent show, but it is claimed they give a performance which is equal to many which people are taxed 50 cents to see. This company consists of thirty five people, and among them are first class artists. Their tent covers lGOxUO feet, and they have their own curs. As the passenger train from the cast wa3 running into the Pacific Junction yard last evening at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour, two of the coaches on the rear of the train were thrown from the track and badly damaged while pass ing a switch. We could not learn for certain, the cause of the accident, but it is supposed to be a defective switch on the Y which the train runs in on. The pas sengers were thrown around the cars very roughly and it is a wonder some did not receive severe injuries, but none have been reported as yet. One coach was turned crossways on the track, and tore loose from the train. The rest of the train ran about 100 feet off the track before it could be stopped. If the train had been going at any great rate of speed, some of the passengers would surely have been killed. The forty young ladies who held a a picnic yesterday afternoon were quite successful in their efforts to entertain themselves. The grounds known as "Fitz's forty" was the location selected for their picnic and on the whole, a very pleasant time was had by all. It is one of the finest quarters in the city to spend one of these scorching afternoons and it is a wonder that such a favorable resort is not taken advantage of more than it is. The ground is well shaded by large tree and the place has a fascinating appear ance. What was most surprising wa to learn that these young ladies did not re quest the company of their young gentle men friends and recognize leap year which only comes once in four years and which is the only year such an opportu nity is afforded them. They 6hoild be prohibited a leap year recognition in the future. No doubt the young men who I have been slighted in this way will swear by all the leap years that are to . come that the young ladies will eorely remem-t-r tlh c?cl ernV Ye- l?d,.be- Tha Deep Water Convention. Denvek, July 23, 1888. To His Ex cellency, the Governor of the State of Nebraska Dear Sir: I have the honor to invite your attention to the following resolutions adopted at a convention held at Fort Worth : Wiieueas, All the states and territor ies west of the Mississippi river are inter ested in the pressing need of a deep wa ter port on the coast of the State of Texas; and WrtEKKAs, Denver, Colorado, being centrally located and yery accessible to all the vast sections of country interested; therefore be it llesolced. That the citizens of Denver be requested by their delegates to this convention to call an inter-state Deep Water convention to be held in that city, at such date as they may see fit, not later than August 28, 1888. In accordance with the resolutions by the Deep Water convention held at Fort Worth, Texas, on July 10, and in com pliance with the request made by the committee of the Denver chamber of commerce and board of trade, and the Colorado real estate exchange, I hereby call an inter-state Deep Water convention of the states and territories west of the Mississippi river, to be held at Denver, on the 28th day of August, 1888. The basis of representation to that con vention will be as follows: Two delegates from each senatorial district, to be appointed by the governor of the state or territory; one delegate to be appointed from each county, to be appointed by the board of county com missioners, or by the chairman of said board; five delegates from each chamber of commerce, board of trade or commer cial body in the various cities; one dele gate from each town having a population of three thousand or less, to be appoint ed by the mayor or the president of the trustees cf such town; in each city or town having a population of over three thousand inhabitants, one additional del egate for each 5,000 inhabitants or frac tion thereof; five delegates from each editorial association in the states and territories interested. In all cases when delegates are appoint ed an equal number of alternates shall be appointed by the same authority. The purpose of this convention is to secure the united and harmonious action of the middle and western states in a movement looking to the establishment of a deep water harbor somewhere upon the Gulf of Mexico. So important will be the influence of such a harbor upon the prosperity of ev ery farmer, artisan, miner and citizen of the great west that it should impel every official to whom this call is directed to take prompt and effective action that will result in a great and influential conven tion. Yours Truly, Ai.va Adams, Governor of Colorado. What pleases the eye and tickles the fancy more than the appeal ance on the streets of our country cousins who have a few moments previous joined themselves in the holy bonds? They are generally so wholly wrapped up in their affection for eacli other that the many spectators who are always on the streets are unno ticed, and their cooing is about as loud and their affection as apparent as though they were all by themselves in some secluded spot where no intruder might annoy them. Yesterday after noon the reporter was afforded the sight and his whole attention was drawn thither'forjsome time. The young couple he was allowed the pleasure of feasting his eyes on were as apparently wrapped up in each other's thoughts as is general ly the case in such a case. Their eyes would meet and a smile would creap over the visage of each and it would seem to wring from each heart an inex haustible extension of love contained there. The fellow had a grip on the young lady's arm that assured the specta tors or the young fellows who looked and admired that their chances for secur ing any more than a look were mighty small. If the jewelers had been on the alert and charged a moderate fee for a I- ok into their windows, their pockets, we are sure, would not have been so light. The jewelry windows were looked into and the many sparkling jewels which they contained, admired. Every fancy business house of every description which contained anything that might answer their purpose, was examined, and not until the hour hand was about to drop onto six did the happy young couple wend their way to the hotel apparently satisfied with the first few hours' exper ience of married life.

Mr. Richard Rivett, a former resident of this city and a member of the Platts mouth glee club, who has resided in Lincoln for the past few months, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and pleas ed many of his friends with an interview Mr. R. Smith who pulled No. 3 from here to Lincoln last Wednesday night, narrowly escaped what might have been for him a severe thumping from five of the Lincoln striking engineers. It is re ported that as he run his engine into the round house there that the five men men tioned turned out the gas light and wait ed for him to leave the engine and pass their way. Fortunately for him a heavy hack man who would just as leave fight five such men as one, was tackled by the crowd who made strenuous efforts to lay him out, thinking they had Smith in just the right place to even up and get satisfaction. They were surprised to think Smith should make such a fine ex hibition of pugilism and thought he surely laid in a store of knowl edge in that line while resting dur ing the strike. The five would-be slug gers were knocked in every direction in less time than it takes to write it by the supposed Smith, and it was not until they had all been badly broken up that they realized the fact that they had tack led the wrong man a tough hackman instead of Mr. Smith on whom they swore vengeance. Mr. Geo. Boeck, father of Mr. W. A. Boeck, shoe dealer of this city, who lives near Murray, met with a very serious and probably fatal accident yesterday after noon about 4 o'clock. He was in the act of tearing down an old windmill which was located near his house, and when near the top of it, the whole thing gaye away, letting him fall a distance of thir ty feet, on a shed which was attached to it, and from there he rolled off and fell to the ground. The windmill is an old one and its support had rotted away so that when it gave away and let him down the whole thing followed. If it had not been for the shed which protected him from the fall of the windmill, he would have been killed instantly without a doubt, and he was very fortunate, al though badly injured, not being killed by such a fall. Two of his ribs were broken and he received other injuries which caused him to remain unconscious until this morning. At present his phy sician entertains slight hopes for his re covery. Yesterday afternoon a prominent young clerk while passing a boarding house on his way to inspect the sewer work was covered by slop which acci dentally struck him when thrown from an upstairs platform.
