j NF.W ioiiK. Sept 10. [ Special Telegram
J { , to the BRK.I While the league has been
; ; > working BO hard to perfect Its brotherhood ,
llttlo attention has been paid to the nulet
move bolng made by the American associa
tion In the same direction. Though they
made no outward show of what they were
doing , the fact that they now have a brother
hood nearly , If not quite , equal to that of tlio
league cannot longer be denied. Notlongago
a quiet meeting was hold , and \V. \ 11. Helbert
was elected president slnco which time the
boat men "ot the association have Joined In
the brotherhood. Much care has been taken
as to w ho was admitted and only men of
good character may hope hereafter for the
protection of the organization. Ever slnco
the association adopted Von Dor Aho's rule ,
providing for the expulsion of reserve play
ers who refused to sfir neon tracts , the associa
tion movement has been gaining ground.
The American association managers will
near from the Association brotherhood before
the next season opens. Like the league they
will give the managers all necessary chance
to correct existing evils. From the present
outlook and from what the players say , Von
dor Abe will boa point of attack by the
brotherhood. There seems to be much dis
satisfaction at the manner In which he carts
his team about thu country , playing exhibi
tion L'nmo ) during the championship season.
The Idea of the two brotherhoods Is to form
a strong combination between themselves ,
such as now exists between the managers of
the Loauue and the American association.
One of the players of tlm American associa
tion said yesterday : "Wo do not pretend to
bo asstronc as the Leaeno biotherhood. but
as all the solid plavers of the association bo-
Ion to the brotherhood I think that wo are
sufficiently strong to protect ourselves and
do away with many of the improper
tlces now in the association. "

A Woman's Bad Fall
On complaint of Foster Guff , 1011
Fnrnnm street , a niuslo tonclior
nnnicil Mrs. Mary Jackraan , boardIng -
Ing nt tlio satno place , was arrested
yesterday on the canjo of steal
ing a gold nntr and several articles of
silk underwear from Mrs. Guff. There
are some outside facts , however , that
make this case of more than prosing in
terest. Mra. Jackman is the widow of
the late Hon. William T. Jackman , for
merly one of the most brilliant lawyers
at the New York bar , but who unfortun
ately ruined and finally killed himself by
strong drink. She is also the daughter
of ex-Governor English , of Connecticut ,
and her career has boon a most unfor
tunate decline from wealth and social
distinction to poverty and crime.
After her marriage to Junkman ho dis
solutely spent the fortune she brought
him. She was then prevailed upon by
her father to leave Jackmau , and the ex.
governor rewarded her by a check for
&t,000. ! ) In a few months , however , she
went back to her husband , and ho again
squandered her fortune. Her father then
disinherited her. ' About eight years ago
she lost her husband and since then she
has supported herself by leaching music.
About rive months ago she came to
Omaha , but had the misfortune to lose
all her money , some $500 , while on her
way , and since then she has been very
much distressed to make ends meet.
About two months ago she came to her
present boarding place , but had had
some trouble about taking a gold pin
from her former landlady.
The articles stolen from Mrs. GeiT
were taken from that lady's
trunk. Alter the theft was discovered
Mrs. Golf most kindly oflered to lot the
matter drop if Mrs. Jackman would re
turn the stolen property. This , how
ever , she refused to do" , but after the
warrant was issued she endeavored to
secretly leave the ring on Mrs. GelTs
dresser , but was detected in so doing by
the other lady boarders. Since the is
suance of the warrant the stolen clothes
have disappeared.
Mrs.Jackman is a woman of culture
and Intelligence and has enjoyed unusual
educational and musical advantages , and
she seems entirely out of place in a
police station. She has employed At
torney Christoflorson , however , and intends -
tends to light the case through.
AMUSHMKNTS.
1UO BAnV. AT BOYD'3.
Iloyt's happy "mixtum composition , "
known as the "llag Baby , " needs no in
troduction to the amusement patrons of
Omaha. And yet , it is not a chestnut.
Many of its features arc as old as they
could well bo , but they are presented
with a dash and vigor which make them
almost now. There arc now acts in the
piece , and these last night went oil'witli
a great deal of success. 1 hero is a trio
of pretty maidens who do the vivacious
acts and the female singing , and their
voices are about as fresh and musical as
the cnHo might require. The singing of
the tramps , however , is simply abomin
able , and might well bo dispensed with.
"Old Sport" is no more ; that is
to say , Daniels has resigned the
part and Charles Hood has assumed it.
Hut Ueed is not Daniels , and ho never
will bo , no matter how much soever ho
may endeavor to imitate him. If Hoyt
originated "Old Sport" for Daniels , ho
performed a masterly work. If not ,
Daniels created a character which bids
favorable to die with Mm. Heed is a
hard worker , a seemingly deserving
comodianbut ; ho is nowhere successful in
this character that ho does not imitate
in manner , forced expression , tone ,
action and shambling gait ihc man who
has proceeded him in the character. The
play last night was characterized with
the rush and multitudious details which
have always signali/ed it , and tlio audi-
onoo , which was quito _ largo , sec-med to
enjoy it notwithstanding the absence of
the man who had made the picco a suc
cess. It will bo repeated to-night and
to-morrow night.
OKANI ) OIT.HA HOUSE.
There was a fujl gallery and a fair-
sized parquet at this theater last night to
witness the "Two Old Cronies. " The
picco has never boon scon hero before
and bat few of the performers had ap
peared in this city. In average excel
lence. the play compares favorablv with
"
compositions of its kind on the "stage.
It has no plot. It has simply a string
upon which are hung a number ot variety
specialties , each of which is introduced
in as natural a manner as possible.
There is a female seminary in the
lirst act. Everybody knows what
liberty the modern comedy farce
writer takes in the pUy with
such an institution. Then the performers
are on board a vessel bound for Orecon.
Everybody also knows how a comody-
farco'man's characters would bo likely to
act on board ship. Then there is a hotel
parlor and , in this , in true , conventional ,
farcical-comedy style , the three hours of
mirth , music , humor and fun terminate.
The Cronies were played by Messrs.
Frank M. Willis and John E. Ilmishaw ,
both of whom are excellent comedians in
their way , and sure to keep the people in
a merry mood. Miss May Ten Hroock
assumed tlio loading female role , at
times singing well , at others indifferently.
Mr. Stanley sang in a musical tenor which
was attractive. The other characters
acquitted themselves well and the ladles
wore finely dressed. The piece will bo
repeated to-night and to-morrow night.
The orchestra was several times ap
plauded for its excellent work.

With Ikoy Ilrown.

tor , dated Cheyenne , from J. Benjamin
King , Hto city editor of the Herald , ask
ing him to try and effect a settlement

KANSAS OITJC AM > OMAHA.
How the Former Secured UB nig
. . .Population.
Joseph Barker has just returned from
Kansas City , and in conversation with a
HER reporter , said : "Wo have got the
prettiest city and the finest streets , al
though ono of theirs looks more compact
and possibly imposing because
of its width being only "sixty
foot with very hurh buildings
on either side , while ours are 100 foot
wide. We have got the business too , and
the greater prospect , and I don't propose
to invest anything in Kansas City while
1 can invest with much moro satisfaction
in Omaha. Yet. both places I regard as
twin cities. I took a run into the state
and I know that Nebraska
has the bjost corn. They mix theirs with
wheat and may have some of that butter
than ours , but they 'can't boat us in
corn. Kansas City may bo a
little larger than Omaha , but
that is only by counting in
Wyandotte , and when wo count in Coun
cil BluU'n and South Omaha , we will bo
bigiror than she is , and wo have just as
much right to include Council Bluffs as
Kansas City has Wyandotto.1

Scorched.
An alarm of lire was sounded from box
01 at 11 o'clock yesterday morning , occas
ioned by the discovery of a blaze in the
two-story frame boarding house , kept by
Mrs. W. H. Jones , near the corner of Six
teenth and Davenport streets. The de
partment was promptly on the scene
and quickly extinguished the flames , not
until , however , the damage had reached
in the neighborhood of $300. This in
cludes both the damage to the building
and furniture. The lire had its origin in
a defective kitchen lluo , and could have
been extinguished before any damage
whatever had boon effected had it not
have boon for the excitement of the in
mates. The property is owned by John
I. Redick , and is not insured. The board-
in < r house is occupied exclusively by stu
dents of the Omaha Business college , ono
or two of whom mifrcircd some loss by
reason of their rooms being flooded by

moro lorciblo , Birdie snatched up a beer
bottle and hit Wolirard a blow over the
right eye about two inches in length. Ho
lay unconscious for nearly an hour , but
was linally rususoitalod by Dr. Schmidt ,
and sent homo. "Birdio" who is so black
they had to light the gas when she was
brought into the court room yesterday
morning , was lined $15 and costs , which
she promptly paid. As she was leaving the
court she turned to , the judge and said ,
"Any man who passes for a white and
can't find company among his own color
ought to be cinched too. " The court
agreed with her , and ordering a eom-
plaint to bo made out against Welgard
for disturbing the peace , mulcted him
also in the sum of $10 and costs.
Wolgard thought this was tough , very
tough.

A Flijht to ttm Month ,
Sumpter ( Georgia ) Republican : \Vo
learn from an observer that a bull was
wading along in the edge of the Flint
river swamp last Monday , nipping cauo
nnd keeping cool , when a huge alligator
made a dash at his nose , but missed a
hold. The bull made tight and prodded
the alligator with his horns. Thou com
menced a llurcu nud bloody encounter in
the shallow water that baggers descrip
tion. The 'galor struck with his tail
and snapped furiously with his huge
jaws , tearing the akin and flesh in big
strips from the bull. The bull got his
horns into the 'gator's sides , and , lifting
his hngo carcass , tossed him high and
dry on the ground , and following up
with a deep bellow , rushed again upon IU
foo. The alligator met him with a terrible -
riblo blow of its tail , knocking off ono
horn and bringing tlio bull to ha ! knees.
The other horn got in under n fore log of
the 'gator and the 'gator getting the
front foot of tjio bull in its mouth , they
became locked aud rolled and tumbled
fearfully. 'Ihoy got into the water again
where , after a brief struggle , both ex
pired. The cntrals of the 'gittor were
protruding in several places , white the
bull was nearly stripped of hide and
flesh.
