Sliut Out Without n Score
Kvcr since the opening of the b.iso
ball season negotiations have boon point
ing for a game between the Lincoln clnli
nnd tlio Union Purifies. The Lincolns
have wanted the earth with n fence
nround it nnd have been making all sorts
of wild plays concerning the Union Pa-
cilics.licn tlio game was finally ar
ranged , an exciting contest was expected ,
and the two thousand people who
gathered at Athletic park yesterday after
noon were lillcd with the hope if noth
ing more that the homo club would do
seine of their old time work and give the
gentlemen from tlio capital city ti drub
bing that would relieve thorn of some of
tho'r ' conceit. The Lincolns came with a
half clo7.cn coach loads of gritnd stand
backers , and were conlidunt of
scooping the homo tonm without
any trouble at nil. Whcn'tho time came
for calling the game u row atose over
the selection of an umpire. The naming
of the umpire is a privilege always of the
homo team but the Lincolns refused to
allow any man Irom Omaha to umpire
the game and held out for a league um
pire , whom they kindly brought with
them. Manager Kay objected to this and
named three Or four good umpires , none
of whom wwo acceptable to the Hiucolns.
The game was declared off and the crowd
began tolcavo. Thomostof the audience
raised indignant yells and cries of "Play
ball. " Finally an agreement was made
and Schrcincr , of the Leavcnworth team ,
selected to umpire tlio game. Tlio first
two innings resembled a real ball gniuo ,
both clubs failing to score. In tlio
third inning the Lincolns got in
a run anil by rattling the homo
teamed scored four runs and then shut
the homo team out without a score. The
visitors had tno game their own way al
ter this and won without a struggle by a
score of 13 to 0. The result of the game
was not due as much to the good playing
of the Lincolns as to the wretched work
of the homo team. The Lincolns have
an excellent battery in Hoover and I left"-
ner , and a good first baseman in Werner
and a good short in liaiiiuglc. Outside
of these they nave a very ordinary team.
They are riot heavy batters nor good
base runners nnd with any kind of work
at all by the homo team they could
easily have boon beaten. Omaha people
have been unusually liberal in their pa
tronage of ball games but they arc get
ting tired of spending their time and
money to see the Union Pacific's loose
games that could bo won by school boys
In the tirst place the homo team needs ( x
pitcher , Harry Salisbury is one of the
best men that over stood in a pitcher's
box , and he has done some excellent
work , but ho is getting too lazy to prac
tice , and as a result no cannot bo de
pended upon. lie has a disappointing
habit of going into a game with the ap
pearance of being in good trim und after
an inning or two , when the friends of the
homo team ate looking to him to win tlio
tame , giving out and calling ill McICol-
vcy or Anderson , who , without practice ,
have no chance of tilling the position ac
ceptably. Salisbury ought to practice or
quit. Handle did line work yesterday
under tlio most discouraging circum
stances. His stops of the wild pitches ,
and also his good throwing to second ,
were the only redeeming features of the
gamo. The arrangement of the players
for the homo team was unfortunate.
McKolvoy was placed on second ,
when ho should hayo played , third
or short. Dugan , who is a rattling good
baseman , was stuck out in right -Held
where ho could do nothing. The club
showed their sad need of practice in
their throwing to bases and m working
together. It was a picnic for the Lincolns
to bat a fly and watch three or four of
the homo team have a collision in run
ning for it. There is absolutely no sys
tem in their playing , and in consequence
the good material that is in the club is
unused. The boys ought to import two
or three good players and then do some
practicing if they expect to win any
games.
The only hit worthy of note made by
an Omalmn yesterday was that of n Union
Pacific conductor who shipped the big
mouth of a Lincoln blowhard who was
trying to run the grand stand.
FOUNO DEAD IN JUS BED.
James Shields , the Wall-Known 1'las-
tcror , Dies Suddenly.
James J. Shields , one of the best known
laboring men in Omaha , was found dead
m his bed at the Tremont House yester
day morning. On Saturday evening ,
about 5 o'clock , Thomas Callan , the pro
prietor of the Tromont , went to Shields'
room und found him lying in a stupor.
Ho attempted to nwako him but could
not do so. Thinking that ho was only
exhausted and sleeping after his day's
work , Mr. Callan left him. At 8 o'clock
ycstoritny morning ho went to Shields'
room to call him for breakfast , llecoiv-
110 response to his knook ho'opened the
door and found Shields lying across the
bed , dead. The coroner was at
once summoned and took charge of
the remains and removed thorn to the
undortakiiif' ottablisluncnt of Dro cl &
Maul , deciding that it was not necessary
iohold an inquest. Mr. Shields was sub
ject to opiloptiu tits and it was by onu 'of
these that his death was probably caused.
The decased was a man about thirty-eight
years of ago , and unmarried. Ho has
lived mOmtiha , working at his trade , for
a number of years and was well known
nnd respected. The plasterers' union , of
which no was u member , have taken
charge ot his remains and will con *
duct iiis funeral unless different
word is received from his sisters , one of
whom lives at ( Jalesburg , 111. , and ono in'
Vermont. Both have boon notilicd of bia
death. '

headed by the A. O. II. band and
marched tip Douglas to Fifteenth , thence
to Farnam , thence to Ilnrnny , thcneo to
Thirteenth street out to the park.
Dancing and quiet rest beneath
the shade of the trees formed
the amusement features of tlio morning.
In the afternoon several competitive * ex
orcises were introduced. Tito first of
these was a foot race , of sovcnly-livo
yards , to be tvwnulcd to the best runner
out of three heats. Only two heats were
run , both being won by Sam Stevenson ,

loads of Lincolmtes wore deposited by
ono of the 15. & M. trains at the depot in

afterward , the man who should attempt

tempting omniscience. They strode up
to town like mortals looking for some
thing to cat. and tram the business the
leading bars did , they also strode like
thirsty men looking for .something to
drink.
They had come U > witness the game of

He is in the iron pipe and pump business ,

OMAHA PUBLIC OAUHIEUS.
GosHip About the btrcot Our Com
pany , Cable nnd Unit Line.
' 'The street car company will certainly
build that caulo line , " said President
Murphy to a reporter , and as soon as wo
can get this law business settled wo will
commence work at onco. "
"What system do you propose to use ? "
"A first-class ouo. Our chief engineer
is Mr. D.J , Mllcr,0of ! New York , who
built the Tenth avcmto'lino in that city ,
and also some of tuVClilcago linos. The
system is equally asrgood as that which
the cable company ftrp'ftbse. to ui > o , and ,
in fact , it differs biiUvpry little from it. "
"On what strcotfUlll you lay the cable
' ' ' " ' '
line ! " ! } ;
"Probably on Far'f&tyf.fo Twenty-fifth or
Twenty-sixth , and'Uienceacross to Hans-
corn park. This will bo though for the first
year. Of course the St. Mary's avenue
Hue would have to-ibo abandoned. You
see , it would not ff jf0 lay cubic lines
all over the city. Wa 'propose to Imvo
ono main line , vqJJj3 > H the horse-car
branches tributary An tit , just as in South
Chicugo , whore thln'e4 ti.ro eighty miles ,
ot which only twenty , ro cable linos.
The other sixty of horpo-cur lines are
tributary to the cubic lino. So wo pro
pose to make the Fnrmim street cable
line in this city tlio main artery. "
" \Vouhitho street cur'company drop
tlio litigation against the cable company ,
provided the latter would agree to lay
itsllnoon anv other street IhanFurnain ? "
' 'At an early stage of tliu game wo pro
posed to thtmi to make such a oompro-
niibo. They declined to act-opt it , and
now wo are inor war to the bitter end.
We've got plenty of money , nnd wo pro
pose touiuko it warm for them. "

num. Thu prusont legal dilllcultios in
whioh ills corporation i involved do not
disturb him fn the least , and ho probably
sleeps as soundly as ho did before those
Injunction suits were commenced.
"You qati depend upon it , " ho re
marked the other day , " \\o will have
that cable line in operation before snow
flics. Of course wo shall have to remain
idle until that injunction matter is set
tled by Judge Dtiiuty. Wo have no fears
but that thn result will bo favorable to
us and that the judge will not grant a
permanent injunction. The street-car
company , in claiming a monopoly of the
streets of Omaha , hasovurreac'lictl itself. "
"Aren't you nfraid of the competition
of the street-car company ? "
"Not in the least. They can sro
nhcnd and build just as many
cable lines as they want to.
All we nsk is to bo lot alone. The fact is
we have got the only patent in tlio coun
try that is worth a cunt ; if thov try to in-
fniigo on it they will bo stopped In
mighty short order. 1 wouldn't civo ten
cents on the dollar for all the other pat
ents in the country. "
"There are no prospects of n consolida
tion of the two companies ? "
"Nono in the least. The street car pee
pie would like to get into our company ,
provided they could run things to suit
themselves. But they can't. AVo'vo ' got
money ouough to pa.y our own way , nnd
wo don't need any outside capital.

Months apfo Mr. Clark said that the
first train oh tlio Belt Line would start
about July in. More than a month beyond -
yond that time lias elapsed , and still the
trains are not running. Indeed it is much
to bo doubted whether the road will bo in
operation by fair time , when It would
have plenty to do in carrying pa son-
ccrs to and Irom the nrounds. The delay
has been caused by n variety of circum
stances , among which may 1)0 mentioned
the hot weather , the 'cold weather ,
the rainy weather , trouble in getting a
sullicicnt force of workmen , etc. , etc.

Mr. Charles M. Brouson , of Riverside
Stock Farm near Lincoln , Neb. , has just
returned from a long visit with the Lost
Short Horn breeders in Ohio , where ho
selected thirty head of very fashionably
bred Bales cattle , mostly bred by the
Hon. Clianccy II. Andrews , of Youngstown -
town , Ohio. Nebraska has never been
honored with cattle of Hiioh purity and
high breeding in the Short Horn line.
There arc , we believe , ! 3 beautiful Cntgrjs.
S Filberts , 1 Acomb , 4 Bnylil Eyes , if
Flat Creek yonnrj Marys and others of
rich breeding. They are nearly all bred
to the Famous old "Duko of Oak Hill
H2352. "
Such stock and suchcnterpnsingstock-
mon as Mr , Branson arc of much worth
to our state. If you want to sec or buy
good Short Horns you should visit
