Telegram to the BKK.I The OmMia base
ball club and the aggregation of muffcre
which Is known as the Hastings club played
a game to-day , or rather the Omaha club
played ball. The alleged Hastings did some
very ( iiio hitting , but soemcd bent upon till
ing Its error column full of straight murks.
When Umpire Young called time the Omaha
club wont to bat , with Nicholson and Hey-
nold In the points for the home team. Walsh ,
llossrtt and Dwyer wont out In ono , two ,
three order , none of them reaching first. The
homo team scored ono run In their half.
Omaha was niioln whitewashed In the second
end and served Hastings In a similar man
ner. The homo club scored ono run In the
third , " 'fubsy" Welsh making a long
drive over to the right fence.
Onmha made her first two runs
In the third Inning nnd from that * on until
the seventh the result see-sawed back and
forth between the two clubs , but In the
seventh Omaha literally slaughtered the ball ,
llealy was the lirst man to oit : , but wont out
on a foul tip. Wnlsh then sent the fielders
chasing the ball Into the south part of the
grounds , but before It could bo returned to
the diamond ho stood pnntlne on the Homo
plate. Mi-ssltt wns given first base oh balls
and then the pounding commenced. Dwyer
and Kussolbach made nice clean single hits
to loft Hold , Bailer followed with a two-
baairer , and Handle , not to bo outdone , lined
the ball out fur three bases. Goulns
made a single and Jentzeu reached
lirst on KttrUht's fumble ot his
rod-hot grounder. Henly cnme to the
bat for the second time and sent thn ball
Into Idt Hold. It began to look as It the
Omaha club Intended to keel ) the thing goIng -
Ing until dark. Walsh sent thn ball heaven
ward far Into the center Held , but Welser
captured It after a lone run , making a tine
running catch. Messltt closed tint Inning
by knocking nn easy grounder to Peoples ,
who throw him out at first , leaving llealy on
third. Tbo game was uninteresting after
such torrltio singeing and there wore no
featurea worthy of especial note unless It
was liador'ti lucky scorinit In tire eighth
Inning. Ho reached first on a single to
rleht. After pitching several balls to Handle.
Nlcliolnon attempted to catch Under
napping on first. Helslne muffed the
ball , whllo Under made a dash for nccond.
JtUIng Rent the ball after him , but Welch let
it slip through his hands. Bader started again
on the run for third , and the ball after htm
the third time. KbrUht muffed the ball the
third time , nnd Itader , realizing the fact that
the Hastings boys could not catch the ball
even with a bushel basket , made another
dash for the home plate , sliding In ahead of
the ball. | Ho slid Into throe bases In his hasty
tour around the diamond and ought to have
been credited with an earned run , although

firm Presentation In Omaha of Oil-
lott'i Now IMoco.
It was aa early oponinir , but the opera
louse was tilled from parquet to coiling.
Tbo interior of this most cheery pluco
iisplaycd many features of rejuvenation.
These old familiars , Thomas Boyd ,
ho manager , and E. E. Whitmoro , Iho
iccretary , were In their accustomed
places.
"Held by the Enemy" lacks many of
ho entertaining qualities of Gillette's
tlior successful pieces , though it is
characterized by a strength whioli cannot
bo found in his darlior productions. It
draws uuon both federals and confeder
ates in the late war. Both are happily
'utroduccd , and with so much skill that
ho intelligent auditor can scarcely ro-
rain from applauding the patriotic
sentiments which are expressed on both
sides. In the piece , there is little
of the blood and thunder order , aud less
of the old-llag-aua-the-country business.
There is A clashing of principles , but
hey are those of n mnn aa against man ,
not of section against section. Thu piece
"s founded upon an upisodo. It is excel
lently conceived , successfully outlined
and most admirably carried out. The
climaxgof the episode is thrilling ,
while the close of tlio piece
s most highly entertaining. Some
of the otlicers detract from the
success of the piece by the dress-parade
manner in which they clothe , walk and
demean themselves , all of which is de
cidedly inappropriate in the dishcyol of
battle. The humorous nnd amorous fea
tures of the play are in the last act. They
do not disturb me continuity of the story ,
but servo to relieve the strain which
the earlier scenes impose. This act in
troduces Miss Louise Dillon with a great
deal of success. Mr. Gelletto has given
himrolf an obscure part , but ho plays it
exceedingly welL The same piece to
night.

THE O'MALIBY 8E1ZUUR
Some Fact * In That Ilcgard Touching
the Biolie Law.
The arrest of Captain O'Malloy for
keeping his saloon open on Sunday
seems to have been the result of n mis
understanding between the mayor , the
president of the cauucil and the city
clerk , the pcrsous comprising the license
board. O'Malloy had aoplicd for a per
mit from the board to sell liquor and two
of the members of the license board ,
Bcchcl and Southard , hold a mooting
and signed tlio license. The mayor
either did not hear of this , or else thought
the course of the other two members nn
arrogatlon of his rights as a member of
that board. At any rate on Saturday
.afternoon hu notified the chief of police
Hint the saloon was opnn illegally , nnd
on thu evening of the same day ordered
the chief to close up the place. The chief
obeyed.
Next evening the chief discovered the
saloon again in full blast , nnd having it
in his power either to urrost O'Malloy
for the violation of the statutes of the
state by illegally running a
saloon , or for violating the
city ordinance by keeping his saloon
open on Sunday , the chief , to simplify
matters , arrested O'Malloy on the liittor
charge. O'Malloy appeared for trial
yesterday morning , but the hearing was
deferred until the 'v'lth inst. Ityould up
in place hero to add that the city ordi
nance in regard to the qtiaterly payments
for licenses is in direct opposition to the
state law , which requires the payment of
the 11,000 fee immediately nt the time the
license is issued. According to the stat
ute then there are bill live legally licensed
saloons in the city , and any of the other
saloons nrn liable to suppression at Hnv
time for violating the state law , not to
mention their liability for violating the
city ordinance regulating tLo sale of
Jiquor on Sunday.
The chief disclaims any personal ani
mosity towara O'Malloy , or any actions
prompted by malice or revenge. As nn
officer , ho claims , ho carried out Iho in
structions of the mayor.
HOUSES AM ) BALLOONS.
More or tlio Grand Preparations Tor
Omnhn'H Fair.
Yesterday was the closing day for en
tries for the spued trials of the Omaha
fair. The entries therefore were numer
ous. The list of horses and classes can
not , however , be announced for n few
days , or until assurance is obtained that
there are on route no letters bearing the
post-mark of August 22 , nor telegrams of
that date. It is customary among race
courses and fairs to honor all entries
made by mail or wire on the closing
day oven if they bo not received for
several days after the lists have been de
clared closed. Subsequent developments ,
it may bo remarked , will not affect the
success of the races but will enhance
their interest , for the entries are already
numerous enough and the horses good
cnuugh to please the veriest enthusiast
of the sport.
One feature of the fair which will
prove of unusual attractiveness this year ,
is the aerial feature. Two experienced
ethcrial navigators , Prof , lluut and
his wife , have been engaged
to make dailv ascensions. They
will use gas , not not air. for inflating the
sky-ship and will alternate in their lofty
journeying . Everybody present on the
grounds will bo invited to a free trip un-
wards but it is highly improbable that thu
invitations will bo accepted. The BEE ,
however , has a cast-iron reporter in train
ing to bring back full accounts of the ex
pedition. i
Preparing For thn Firemen.
The executive committee of the old
voluutcer fire department , having in
charge the arrangement of a programme
of entertainment for the reception of the
New York firemen met last night in chief
Galligan's oQipo. A committee of the
'city council appointed to co-operate with
them wcro present and the attendance
was quito largo , manifesting the lively
interest felt in the matter. Subcommittees
mittees were appointed to confer with
the board of trade and to make all
arrangements towards procuring car
riages , music , badges and uniforms.
The uniform selected was a soft white
felt hat , linnon dusters and cane. Invi
tations to participate in the proposed
parade and rocoutiou were extended to
tlio mayor , council , fire department
and city otlicials of Omaha and
Council Bluffs. All the old
volunteer firemen who have not yec re
ported are requested to leave their names
sit the Wabash ticket ofllce , W. J. White-
house's drug store , Sixteenth and Web
ster streets , or at D. W. Lane's 1000
Saunders street.
The meeting adjourned to Thursday
night next to hoar the reports of the
committees , when final action will betaken
taken aud a full programme prepared.
Ended His wlfVa Troubles.
Gcorgo Parks , a negro living at No. 614
North Fifteenth street , came homo drunk
Sunday night , smashed the dishes and
furniture , and boat his wifo. When ar
rested his inebriate frenzy seemed to be
ended and he quietly submitted to the
oflicor. About 11 o'clock yesterday morn
ing ho was taken to the county jail to
serve out his sentence and two hours
later , while sitting smoking and chatting
with his fellow prisoners , ho suddenly
fell bacic dead , supposably from heart
disease , with which he has been afiliotcd
for some time. The theme for his epi
taph is aptly contained in the remarks ot
his wife as she cuzed on his dead face in
the morgue. "Well , well , George , you'so
been a pow ful trouble to us , but you'll
trouble us now no mo1. "
Superintendent and Conductor ! .
Thu report that the relations botoon .
Dickinson , general superintendent of the
Union Pacltic , and the Order of Hallway
Conductors are not amicable , proves to
bo unfounded. Mr. Dickinson has done
all in his power to make tbo proposed
conductors' picnic to Fremont a most
agruotble all air and has placed at their
disposal iho best railway coaches owned
by the company. A number of the lead
ing men in the order have called the at
tention of the HUE to the matter , and
with ono accord they all regret that such
a groundless report should beoomo cur-
rout.

"I don't believe that any man in this
world has been moro extensively lied
about than John L. Sullivan. " said Mike
Donovan a few nights ago to n party of
personal friends up town , " 1 travelled
in John's company for n long timo. nnd
I was with him constantly , and , whllo I
doa't mean to sot him up as n Chester
field or the paiugon of politeness , I will
suy that ho is ono of tlio best naturcd and
most nmiablo of men , The papers hivvo
published so many wild and fantastic
stories about him Ihnt poonlo have an.
idea that Sullivan Is n sort of unnatural
monster that Rees round raising rows
from ono end of th.o country to tbu other ,
is always surly and ngly , and lacks the
elements that makes our men popular.
I have know.n Sullivan longer than any
of the rust of thorn , and when I speak of
him 1 speak by the card.
"Long before ho ever fought Flood , or
before uvun spotting men had hoard his
name , I know aim in Boston , ilo did not
look big or strong then. His nock was
not very powerful , his face was sort of
thin , and ho scorned like an ordinary
youngster. He wanted to put on the
gloves with mo ono night in a thcntra
where I was playing an engagement.
Nobody know him and everybody know
inc. 1 looked him over , and as ho seemed
to bo very much in earnest , and had the
right spirit in him , 1 told him to come
around at 8 o'clock and 1 would give him
n set-to. Ho came , and ho had evidently
maao up his mind to do mo. Ho did not
j know much about fighting then , but ho
came ( about as near using yours truly up
a ; any man that over lived. When ho
> ounced into the ring there was blood In
liis eye. Ho had the same torritin hitting
power then as ho has now. Wo loft our
corners and I led out on him. The next
thing ! know Igot a terrilio clip on the
top of. the hand that knocked mo back
ward as though I had boon hit with a
slungsbot. 1 lay on the stage for iv min
ute trying to realize what had hit
me. 1 was groggy then , and seized
Sullivan's legs ( o steady myself and
slowly got to my foot. I saw m an in
stant that 1 must pull myself together.
because there was a raw man in front of
mo who had nothing to lose and every
thing to gam , while 1 had a life's reputa
tion at stake , l-awr that if Sullivan did
mo in that rounu it would fix his position
at once , and undoitill that I had been at
so much pains to accomplish. I thought
this out as well m I could with the lorri-
uta humming at.tfly head , and then they
called time , andW , ) came together again.
1 was knocked u\9Wn \ twice in that round.
Then I knew I hadjgot to fight as 1 had
never fought before to get out with a
whole skin. The next three rounds wo
wont at it hammer , , and tongs. Sullivan
had very little sftlguco at that time and
that is what sayed me. But it was the
closest call that ta , , man over had in this
business. It was only by the utmost
sk'll ' , by dodging and fainting contin
ually , that I escaped his tcrrliio sledge
hammer blows , 'and so I managed to last
out the live rounds ] and save my reputa
tion. I went 'bntsido nnd told some
friends of mine that Sullivan was. the
greatest tighter in the world at that time.
They laughed at mo , but they believe it
"Is he of saoh an ugly temper ! "
"Why , not a bit of it If ho has been
drinking or was up late the night before ,
hu is crust ; and sullen , aa any other man
is apt to bo : but when it comes to the
wild stories that are in the newspapers
concerning his snappish , brutal and ugly
mauner , why , that is all nonsense. Ono
of the funniest flights I ever saw was
John Sullivan and a follow named Flurry ,
whom ho met at Cincinnati. Flurry was
a sporting man with a great knack at
making rhymes. Ho would sit down and
sing little songs , making them up as ho
went along , ana they were as clever aa
any thing you ever hoard. He would ring
in the names of prominent men present ,
turf and ring events , and things that
were happening at the time in a way
that I never saw equalled. Sullivan took
a great fancy to him , and for a time we
had him in the combination travelling
about. John used to bring his chair
up almost in front of Flurry's , and sit
with his elbows on his knees and his
chin in his hand looking straight at the
singer. Then Flurry would start in with
his ditties and troll away , while John L.
beamed on him as amiably as his own ,
mother could have done.
"In going through the country there
was of course a great deal of interest in
Sullivan , and particularly BO in the
South. I remember once , when wo
were going through Alabama , wo all
went out for a drive in the afternoon ,
and , when we cot to a rend house , we
ulightod from the carriage and lounged
about awhile in the shado. Aftar a time
there was an old negro came along with
a horse. I got the horse away from him
and rode a quarter of a ruilo down the
street. Then Sullivan wanted to have a
try. He got on the nag's back and went
galloping down the street with hid hat off
and his legs sticking out at the side , as
happy as a schoolboy. On his way back
I called the old negro aside and I said :
"Do you know who that is on your
horse ? "
' "Deed I don't , sir. "
"That is John L.Sullivan. "
"Nol"
"Yes , it is. "
"Well , for de Lawd's sake ! "
"Ho tip-toed out into the middle of the
road as the horse came back , helped John
off , and stared at him as if ho had been
an angel. Then np took the horse by
the bridle , and gaid'as he led him gently
away : ( . ' >
"Sullivan , dat horse is gain to die now

you riding - no nigger.
"It is astonishing how the news of Sul
livan's arrival had spread among the
negroes of Alabama , In going along on
the train there wpiijd bo 400 or 500 ol
them at ovary station. They would
come in for miles Mnd miles , with cows
hitched to wagoita , two or three on the
back of a mule , or Draggling along on
foot , just to catch , Might of the champion.
The wonder is to'hiti how they found out
oven the name ofjSullivan , for they lived
in the backwocxK , and there were no
newspapers or anything of that sort.
When the train stopped the older of the
negroes with whita woolly hair and
board ami bent figures would come stealIng -
Ing through the cars in procession , look
ing from ono pa-ssonger to the other. II
Id a curious thing that they always picked
John ont at once , though ha used to lean
back in his scat and put his hat over his
face just for the lark of the thing. They
would thrust their heads forward and
look at him with .open mouthed adora
tion. Sometimes when ho happened to
have his legs out from the seat under
him they would touch bis boots or null
the legs of his trousers slyly. Then Sul
livan would give a wild snort and a cow ]
and pretend to jump for them. Uf
course It was only In fun , and they could
sea it , but they would , all go- rushing
out to the plattorm to toll the others
'about it. Al Smith and myself or some
body would be vury'likcly to askSulIlvau
K > go out on the platform and show him-
to thu crowd- and ho always did it ,
ounging about in n good natured way ,
whllo they cheered him andstured at him
to their hearts' content. It wns pure
good nature on his part , because ho is
tot a man who cares to show oil' at all ,
Wo always had hard work to got him to
nako even a reasonable exhibition of
ilmsolf , wliero lie ought to bo seen from
justness motives.
"There is ono other point about Sulli
van , " coutinuodDonovnn"that ho never
gets credit for , and that is for his
ihrowdnoss. Everybody will admit now
; hat 'ho is a clever and sclcntlllc lighter ,
jut you often hear men say that the
.roublu with Sullivan is that ho does not
enow anything , or that , if hcliad a llttlo
act , ho would got along bettor , and that
s just where they are about as far ell ns
my lot of men that over lived. Sullivan
knows moro in live minutes than half of
ils detractors do in live hours , and ho
ins got tnct , too. Ho is not n butcher era
a grocer's clerk , and ho docs not want to
go hanging around with men who do not
amount to anything. Ho is of enough
importance now to choose his own ac
quaintances , If ho likes a man ho sticks
to him ; if ho does not like him ho won't
Day the slightest attention to him , and
: hut ends the whole matter. Ho knows
tcrfectly well what lie is about at all
: imcsand 1 will tell you a little thing that
proves it.
"We were in Memphis , anil ono of thu
town nets was going to stand up in front
of Sullivan. Hu was a big nnd powerful
follow with a fair knowledge of boxing
nnd lots of grit. He had a big political
following , and all his heelers wcro at the
town that night. Memphis was a pretty
bad town , and n gooti many of its toughs
were there to ace their pot win. lie
lumped into the ring , and there was a
storm of cheers. Sullivan stepped into
the ring a moment later , and there was a
bit of applause , and then n dead stillness.
The Memphis man made a rush for John ,
1'lie the ncxl moment ho was knocked
awkward ou the lloor. Ho jumped to
Ins feet , imule another rush , and Sullivan
battered down his guard , hit him once in
the body , and then let go his left and
caught him on the jaw. The Memphis
man half turned and dived head first to
oil' the stage , and lay them like n log. I
wns in ono corner of the ring nnd I'cto
McCoy in the other. Both of us jumped
forward , but Sullivan motioned us back.
L thought the man had bcon killed. Ho
lay as dead as a stone , and the 0,003 citi
zens of Memphis , who had crowded
around the ring , wcro as quiet as so
many graven images. I jumped over
the repes , rushed to the dressing room ,
seized u pail of cold water ,
and , hurrying back with it , doused
It over the man. Pete McCoy had mean
while Bone after another pail. Thattoo ,
was poured ever the face and back of the
Memphit lighter. That immense crowd
were still as quiet as so many statues.
Two or three men whispered to us in a
way that was not very reasuring. Moan-
whllo Sullivan had pulled elf his gloves ,
dropped on the stage , and taken the
fighter in his arms as if ho were a baby.
Ho laved the victim's head , and when
wo got some more water ho poured it
ever the man's face himself , and tried to
rastoro animation. The fighter raised
the lids of his eyas a bit , and then Sulli
van took him in his arms as hu would a
baby , carried him gently down the steps ,
and bore him to the dressing room.
When ho had got half way there the
crowd broke the horrible stillness , and
the cheers almost lifted the roof of the
building. They wcro willing to kill Sulli
van when ho struck the blow that
knocked out their pride and champion ,
but when they saw how tenderly ho
cared for the vanquished man they almost
made a god of him. Ho took in the situa
tion as quick as a wink , and he knew ex
actly what to do. You can't tell mo that
a man has got no tact who will turn
a crowd of 5,000 enemies into as many
warm admirers , as he did that day by a
little stroke of humanity uad tact.
A PAIR OF TIQHT"BOOTS.
Mr. James Caswell's wife had been
dead six months , and Mr. Caswell had
worn a weed on his hat and kept his
handkerchief in his eyes whenever the
dear departed was mentioned with the
most exemplary propriety.
At the end of six months ho considered
that he had done his duty by the first
Mrs. Caswell and felt himself at liberty
to be looking around for the second lady
of the same name.
Ho needed a housekeeper , and his live
llttlo .children needed the care of a
mother.
Ho had fixed his eyes on the Widow
lliggins , and , all things considered , per
haps he could not have made a bettor
choice. She was about his ago forty-
two ; she was good looking , had about
three thousand dollars' worth ol prop
erty , and had just bcon jilted by Jeremiah
Jenkins. And a woman who has just
boon jilted is generally all ready to heal
her broken heart with another specimen
of the same faithless sex.
Mr. Caswell broke the ice by sending
the widow a squash. Ho raised a large
crop of squashes , and the bugs devoured
all the widow's vinos. Mrs. Biggins re
sponded by sending him a mince pie
witlt her compliments. And the next
Sunday night Mr. Caswoll called to tell
her how fond of mince pics ho was , and
how nice her's was. Alter this the ac
quaintance progressed rapidly. . Mr.
Caswell bought a now buggy and or
dered a now pair of boots.
"Make 'em to lit close , Mr. Lastor , "
said ho to the busy little shoemaker.
"Seems to mo 1 ought to wear eights in
stead of nines. "
"Can't do it sir , " said tbo little man.
"You've got a bunion as big as an onion
on your right great toe , and your heel ia
the longest I ever seed , except on a gen
tleman of color.
The boots were finished and sent home
on Saturday night , and on Sunday Mr.
Caswell had engaged to drive the widow
over to Stilton's Four Corners to church
in the now buggy , and with the new boots
on.
on.Early Sunday morning he began his
preparations. He put on the thinnest
pair of stocking ho had , and made a trial
of the boots. But they refused to go on.
They were neat and handsome , and gen
teel , but they would not begin to make
the acquaintance of Mr. Caswell's under
standings. Ho tugged , and pulled , and
sweat , and swore all to no purpose.
The tinib for starting for Stilton drew
nigh. He called in his two hired
men stalwart brothers named John
and Sam Steelo. They took hold with a
will ono hold of ono strap , and the
other hold of , the other , while Mr. Cas
well planted himself firmly in the chair.
And the result Was , over wont Mr.
Caswell , chair , Sam , John , and All , upon
the lloor , brooking the dinner-pot to
Hinders , and nearly knocking the life out
of old Hover , who was sunning himself
just behind his master on the hearth.
Caswell got np and rubbed his ringing
head with vinegar.
"Confound it ! " said ho , "I didn't think
it would bo such a tight squeeze. Try it
again , boysl I'll sit on the window this
time , and see If yon can't pull the s.'do ' of
the house overt"
It was a long pull , and a pull together ,
but it wax all in vain.
"It' * no use , " said Sam , wiping the
sweat from hu forehead ; "your stocking !
will have to come off. "
So the blockings were removed , and by
dint of a great deal of perseverance , the
boots svoro got on to too feet intended
for them.
The horse was alroadj harnessed to
the new buggy , and donning his Sunday
beaver , Mr. Caswoll limped out , and
climbed into the carriage. The boots
hurt awful , hut his feet looked like pic
turcs in them , ho said to himself , con
tcfiiplating them with admiration , and
ho had hoard the widow adiu're ' small feet
a grout many times' .
He soon had her by blusldo radhtht in
a new pink bonnet and a green ihawl ,
\nd they bowled right merrily ever the
'inrd track to the Corners.
The pain in Mr. Caswolt's feet had sub
sided from the acute into a dull , sleepy
loho ho seemed to bo cut oft" from his
bones down but what does a man care
tor feet and legs who is In iovo , when in
the presence of the beloved object.
The conversation was sweetly Intorost-
ng ho hud managed to snucc/.a the
widow's hand under the bufi'alo , and she
lind blushed and giggled just as ho remembered -
mombored the first Mrs. Caswell did
when ho was courting her.
Stilton was reached all too quickly.
Iho services had not yet commenced , and
: hc people were standing about under
the tree in knots of half a dozen , talking
of thu weather and the crops
Widow Bicglns was smiling triumph
antly. Caswoll's was the first turn-out in
town , and she know her now hut wa * be
coming , nnd reali/.od she was killing half
her female friends with envy. No won
der the woman was happy.
Caswell throw down the ribbons and
sprang lightly to the ground. But , alas I
lie had torgottun his feet , which by this
time were as good as dead from the ter
rible compression they had undergone.
and when ho struck it was on his head
instead of on his feet. His now beaver
was smashed in , and in falling off , it
brought with it the "scratch1' ho had paid
live dollars for , a few days before , to
conceal the bald spot on the top of las
cranium.
His fall frightened the liorso she setup
up her head and tail and , with a frantic
snort , sot off nt n rousing pace down the
road with the widow screaming and
clinging to thu sent of the buggy.
The sight of nis former llama in dis
tress was too mueh for the tender heart
of Jeremiah Jenkins , who' was standing
by. Ilo unhitched old Dobbin nnd ,
springing into the wagon , sot out in hot
pursuit.
This conduct maddened Caswell. He
forgot the pain in his feet , and springing
up he gavD a great slaiup which no shoe
maker's thread could abide ! the stitches
gave way the leather parted , nnd Cns-
well's lect protruded at right ancles like
the heads of two estranged turtles.
Down the road they all went at a
slashing pace first the window in the
new buggy then Jeremiah in the old
red wagon , then Caswell on a clean gal
lop with his long hair streaming behind.
and then aboat u score of young men and
boys , forgetting that it wns Sunday , and
that the minister saw them , in their
eagerness to join the raco.
The widow had climbed ever the seat
of the buggy , and was evidently intend
ing to jump out behind Jeremiah was
urging on Dobbin and screaming to her
to hold on and Caswell , when his blown
state would permit , was swearing like a
trooper.
Faster and faster went Caswell's horse ,
when suddenly one wheel struck a stump
the buggy was annihilated , and the
widow bounced out on a bed of juniper
bushes. Dobbin thought it was about
time for him to distinguish himself in
some way , so ho turned suddenly out of
the road , leaped a low stone wall , cleared
himself from the harness , and went to
feeding.
Jeremiah ran to the widow lifted her
up , saia a few soft words to her with
which wo have no business and she hid
her face in his shirt front and snivelled.
And when a little later , Caswell mot
the interesting couple they were both
riding together on old Dobbin , the widow
with Jeremiah's arm around her , and her
pink bonnet badly smashed , reclining on
his shoulder.
It was all up with poor Caswell. He
realized it instantly. A woman will forgive -
give a man readily enough lor" being a
sinner , but for cutting a ridiculous figure
never.
Caswell tried to make his peace with
'her , but was very coldly told that ha need
not trouble himself to call on her , her
time was vary much taken up.
A month afterward she was married to
Jeremiah Jenkins , and on that day Cos-
well burnt bin tight boots with a grim
sort of satisfaction that showed one
plainly enough how the iron had entered
his soul.

A BmiHAtlunal Esonoo.
.One of the most sensational escapes
from the Now York Tombs was that of
William J. Shtsrkoy in November , 1873.
Snarkoy was a young man who had
achieved a bad eminence as a gambler
and ward politician , In September.
18W , he mot another gimber ; who owed
him | 600. He demanded payment , and
when rnf used deliberately shot the man
dead. Ho was arrcstod , tried , and con
victed , and sentenced to be
hanged. , Two women planned his
escape one , Mrs. Allen , a friend ,
and the other. Miss Maggie Jourdan.
his reputed wife. Visitors were admitted
to thn prison to see the prisoners , and
couid go to the different cells and talk
through the grating. Each visitor was
given a ticket by Iho warden , which was
shown to the ke'epers as they went in and
out. On the day planned , Mlfs Jourdun
went in the morning to Sharkoy's cell , as
she did every day. and talked with him
through the gratcing. Two hours later
Mrs. Allen came in to see a friend of hers
but as she passed Sharkloy's cell she
stopped and nnd convocation with him ,
and gave him her visitor's ticket. She then
went on and visited her other friend and
remained with him until 3 o'clock , when
iho gong sounded for all visitors to leave.
Meantime Miss Jourdun hud left at 1
o'clock , contrary to her usual custom ,
nnd about 1:30 : a peculiar looking fe
male , heavily veiled , with u hlitck cloak
acrorfi a broad pair of Bhouldon ) , putted
down tbe corridor , through thu two lower
gate * , and out of the entrance , passing
three men , who all scanned her very
closely , but lot her go by. A few mo
ments later she was ron to jump on a
Blcocker street car while In motion , and
passed from night. The woman , in fact ,
was no Otner than Sharkey , as the otli-
cers found a half hour later when they
visited his cell. There they found every
thing in confusion , and on a little shelf
his black mustache sUll wet with the
lather. Notwithstanding the utmost ef
forts of the police Shnrkoy got uwny and
reached Havana in safety.
