Harper , the now Omaha ottchcr , made the lilt of his llfo yesterday , and should now re tire on his laurels , lie only gave seven men bases on balls and hit four others. It seemed that If ho couldn't send a man to base one \vay , he'd do It the other , and after the Oinahas had won tha game In tlio second in- ulng , by piling up seven runs on a beautiful bunching of lilts , ho turned right around and ttavo It nway by tlio most slovenly work In tlm nolnts seen on the home grounds this season. Jantzcn , the catcher , was also olT , and caught and played all round llko the veriest novlco at the game , in truth the local battery yesterday was an unqualified botch , nnd when at I la best it Is but of the uiosl ordinary description. Both sides were kulsomlnod In the first Inning , but In the second the Omahas on seven corking hits , Including Walsh's homo tun and Meosltt's two-bailor , and a bouquet of errors by Johnson , scored seven runs , and tlm handful of people present howled with delight. In tlio second and third the Topekas scored ft single tally each , but In the fifth they took the cake , the crackers and the bakery , rolling UD no less than six runs and not making a Blnule hit This Is the way the old thing worked , and It IB a fair sample of the wholu game. Stearns went to lir.it on live bad balls , stole second without half trying , and went to third on a passed ball. Weriicn was hit by Harper , and ran down to the next bag on a passed ball. Johnson hit out toward Dwyer who rot the ball and threw homo In plenty of time to catch Steams , but of course Jantzen inulTcd the ball , and Johnson took second , ftacullar then goes to first on balls , and Harper thumps Uoldsby In the ribs , and Wor- den Is forced In , nnd still tiie bases are full , bnced lines one to second , and Mossltt by a lightning throw home * nIps Johnson at the plate , leaving all the bai s still occupied. It Tuen to liven up matters Macullar runs homo on Jantzon's third passed ball , nnd the t. others move up a base. Arden hit to llarper , . who threw to first , but too I a to , and on lawyer's throw to third to cut off Uoldsby , the ball pots by Messltt , and Uoldsby and tineed both score. Qunson Is sent to first on balU , forcing Ardnor to take second , and Uie next minute he ran clear home on another passed balk Stearns out to .Dandle ended the agony. Here Jantzon went to the field , Dandle to second , Messltt to third and Pusselbach bo- li I nd the bat , but the change did not bring victory. The Topokas tried hard to lose the game , but Itva Impossible , and just as darkness was coming on they knocked In a couple of runs and the game was ended. f , , TIIK acoiiK. OMAHA. P09. All. It. PH.

A Colored Woman's Mysterious Death in a Cell of the City Jail , POLICE BRUTALITY SUSPECTED. How n Colored Cyprlnn Perished In the Lock-Up and tha Htart- llng Rumors of the Canao. A Wmnnn'n Strange Death. Gcorgio Clark , the castaway , whoso death yesterday morning nt the city jail compelled a non cst in hot cnso to bo rondcrc'l as a pica , promises to attract more attention in death than she claimed in life. The circumstances of her death are involved in such conflicting accounts and formed such a largo space in yester day's papers , that the HKK , determining to ascertain the full facts OH obtainable from oppostto sources , detailed a re porter last night to visit all the persons connected with the affair in any manner. The deceased is universally described ns having been of a color between mulatto and black , of a vivacious disposition , possessed of an education obtained at 'the high school m this city , and being a skillful pianist and and a good singer , She was born and raised in Omaha , where her mother and sister now reside , and took to the town after the death of her husbandwho com mitted suicide on account of jealousy at her light conduct. She was in a measure reclaimed by a man named John YY. Fielding , with , whom she lived as his mistress , adding to Jicr support by him in playing on tlio piano at various houses of ill fame in the city. Jnoldin ? , who is also known by the name of Shakespeare , was formerly a soldier and latterly in partnership in the liquor business with Hans Young , whoso sudden flight from Omaha some weeks ago with the part nership assets , compelled the re maining partner to accept a bartender's place nt the saloon opposite tbe Metropolitan hotel , on Douglas street , whore ho was found last night by a reporter. Ho is a white man and disclaimed any regrets or shame felt for the ambiguous position ho sustained towards the de ceased , alleging gratitude un his part for kindness receive * when needed , at her bands as the reason of his forgotfulncss of color in bestowing his protection upon her. His story is as follows : On Monday night between 10 and 11 o'clock he saw his paramour going towards their lodging place on Farnam street and followed her , thinking by her gait that all was not right. On passing the corner nearest to her abode , she was observed by two policemen , one named Brady and the other whom he docs not know , who also followed her. So main tained her gait until reaching her home , where she foil in a swoon in the vestibule. There she was met by the proprietor of the house , a man named Ewalt , who , in stead of assisting her to her room , sig naled to the two policemen , Brady and the unknown. Their arrival and his own wore simultaneous. Ho bogged the o ul cers not to arrest her , disclosing his re lations to her and assuring her that he wonld remove her to her room and prevent - vent any disorder. They disregarded his entreaties and remonstrances , and order ing him gruffly to 'more on , ' dragged the woman along the flags in her insensible condition to the nearest patrol box , fully forty feet away. By this time she sulli- ciently revived to be able to talk , and en tered the responsive patrol wagon with out much assistance. Fielding fur ther said be followed the patrol wagon as far as possible and arrived at the station in time to see the woman then partially recovered from her stupor , thrust into a cell with a dissolute white woman named Hose Mulev , who resented the intrusion and the two began a frco fight. Fielding says they fought for a long time undisturbed by the police ; ho alleges as his reason for not interfering and demanding of the police that they separate the combatants , his fear that ho would bo locked up , an event which would prevent Ills presence m court in tbe morning with bail to liberate his dusky friend. Continuing , he says that after some time when the yells of the women became unbcarabblo , Officers Ormsby and Crawford entered the cell and parted them. In removing tbe de- coastul to another cell , OIHcer Crawford , who bad hold of her , brutally struck her , not once but several times. After being violently thrown into the now cell she never spoke. A reference to witnesses who saw the brutality was furnished. While Fielding was narrating hia story to the reporterXftlcer Crawford in uni form entered , demanding a retraction of the statement in an afternoon paper that ho ( C. ) violently dragged the woman from the patrol wagon to the jail. This retraction Fielding cheerfully made , de nying the utterance of such a charge , but persistently refused to exonerate the ollicor further. French Em's house , in which the dead woman had often in lifo played the piano , was next visited. Both the pro prietress and the inmates bore witness to the many good qualities of Georglo Clark , and said they seldom saw her under the influence of liquor , and never helplessly so. ' 'If poor Georgio had come here last night , " said French Em , feelingly , "this would not have hap pened. " f , } . P. Dorwood , a black man , was found at Wood's hotel , on Capitol avenue , bu- twoon Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Ho was a prisoner in the jail at the time of the occurrence , and corroborated fully all of Fleming's statements regarding Crawford's brutality. Ho says he will swear positively to the blows struck , and the identity of Crawford as the man who struck them. Ho further says the women went cant ( led to fight , and such taunting remarks as "III Hose , you got to sleep with u iiigRor to-night1 and others of a like kind were usort to o asperate and nngnr the white prostitute. 1 ho body of the deceased is laid out awuiting interment at her mother's honsu on Capital avenue , near Ninth struct. An Inspection of it discloses a coiilusioa over one of the eyes nnd wounds on the breast , side nnd groin , 'i no resembling the prints of boot 'u > Is. Much bitter fooling is manifested n uiu residents of the vicinity at the liiuto of the coroner's inquest and the fact tliut the relatives of the dead woman weru not Infarmod of her dnatn , which was discovered by thorn accidentally while the body lay at the undertaker's ready for transit to the Pot tor's field. The sister of the deceased said that yesterday morn ing while she and her mother wore on their way to work , passing the city jail , thev were saluted by two of the police ollicors , who allowed them to pass on without intormint them of Georgie'e death. At the jail the officers worn reticent , simply contenting themselves with deny ing in tote the charges of brutality. About midnight Mr. Maul , of the firm ol Drexel & Maul , repaired to the house ol the deceased and placed ice on the body. At the inquest held jn the morning , the police to whom alone the coroner could look for the facts in the case , deliberate ) } withheld all testimony of the violence , greater or- less as. It may bo , which they certainly know. . the woman had auflorcd at Ihctlr hands. To further cloud the fairj purpose of the pro ceedings Detective liorlgan secured n place on the jnryu Tl'o verdict , so speedily found , was'written ' by D. M , Connell , the foreman , and sot forth that the woman had comtvto her death from the excessive use of o'lickor. " Whothoi this travesty on iK6 'sblomn ' proceedings was a betrayal ofjgnoranco or an out break of honthonTsn , humor , none but the author can explain. The excited colored fncnda of the dead woman announce their dctormina- tiou to prosecute an invcotigation. A MASSIVE ORNAMENT. The Hlg Buffalo Ueact Casting for the Union Pacific Bridge. A telegram received from New York last night , states that yesterday after noon , Mr. Favoy , of the Favoy Bronze works of that city , cast a bulFulo's hoiul out of bronze for tlio Union Pacific mil road company. The head will bo placed on the bridge now building across the Missouri river from Council Bluffs tc Omaha. The casting is the largest single plcco over cast in this country , weighing 0,000 pounds. _ Mr. Morsu'n Successor. The feeling Is now obtaining among railroad men that the appointment oi Mr. Tibbitts as the successor of Mr Morsp as general passenger agent of the Union Paciilc road is but that of a fiann head , and in no way likely to satisfj the requirements of the position , Mr. Tibbetts is a man of bnl comparatively slight experience in tin passenger business , and is not such ns tc warrant his successful coping with the duties ot the ofllco. It is also alleged that the appointment , if such it nia\ bo termed , is but temporary and that the real successor of Mr. Morse IP tc bo cither John N. Abbott , chairman ol the Western Trullio association and ex- general passenger agent of the Erie road , or A. C. Dnwes , general passongei agent of the Kansas City , St. Joe & Council Bluffs. Mr. Abbott is ono ot the brightest and best known passonccr men of tlio country , a protege of Jay Gould' * nnd a friend of Mr. Potter's. AN ELECTIONEERING TOUR.

The following communication was road from the city treasurer : Gentlemen : The police and fire funds are exhausted and the general fund will be In a weak or so. That means that warrants which will be Issued between now and Janu ary 1 , shall bear Interest at 7 per cent and be dlscouiitcclr-if sold at all at a loss to the owneis of from 1 to 3 per cent of face. This Is a hardship to the men who work for the city , De they contractors or servant * of the government. And yet this order of things has existed time out of mind. Apart from the direct loss to the tax-payer In being compelled to pay 7 per cent on the city paper , there is a ( creator Indirect loss iu this : That labor could be obtained and work done at much butter rates It there were a reasona ble probability of having cash to pay when the warrants are Issued. Stationers , furni ture men , and contractors Keoerally will HB- ure Interest upon their JSlds. Moreover , tlie petnlcnce ana anger of creditors are some- tunes very embarrassing. 1 believe that all of ttaiu earn be . remedied. There Is no law In existence to prevent tlit cltv council from raising the valuation ol property as returned by the county assessors , But , If this course tw objectlouablo- and tax-payers would no doubl protest against It the.ii there Is r safer and bettor plan : Balsa the valuation of districts or wards to correspond with other districts and wards. There Is n picoo of property whoso owner holds It at n valuation ot 315,000 which was returned by the assessor at 8750. The city council sought to raise this and other descriptions last year , but the owners ot the property protested because them were very many more glaring Inconsistencies which re mained undisturbed. Why not brlntr all such cases up to a common standard ? This Is equalization. The assessors'valuation ot Omaha Is 51,000,000. Itouulit to bo 840,001- 000. You cannot make a levy ot more than 4 1-10 per cent. Four percent on 840.000,000 Is Sl.COJ,000-a big tax , but , If collected for ono year , there would bo a gratify Ing reduc tion thereafter until a minimum of U per cent would be reached. * * * JOHN HUSH , City Treasurer. Mr , Hasoall said that ho buliovod tiiat n part of Mr. Rush's communication was all right and ho believed in it , but an other part ho thought w.ia a little off. The police and lire fund was not ex hausted. If it wore true , as mentioned , thU the fund was exhausted , equalization would not , could not , act ns u remedy.

Mr. Bailey said ho favored limiting the company to two streets from which tc select the approach and would allow thorn thirty days in which to make their selection , after which they should lese tlie privilege of cither. Ho thought that eventually they would select cither Doug las or Dodge struct. Mr. Snyder said that ho did not think the company should bo allowed moro than one street to select ns an approach. Mr. Ford said if it were true that the contractors were here to build the bridge iu question , ho could not see why they wanted six streets to select from. They ought to be just as competent now to se lect a place us they will a month hence. Mr. Burnham said ho thought Mr. Bailey's idea a good one. It was neither top restrictive nor yet too oppressive.
