KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Mny 21. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BES.I The Kansas City Blues
received tholr Initial shut out of the season
to-day at the hands of the Omaha nine. It
wns perhaps the banner giuno this year In n
good many respects. First , the visitors
played without nn error , and second , the
united hits by both teams wcro flvo in num
ber. As In the other games Aunls' work In
center was such ns to produce and deserve
general applause. Ills running one-hand
catch of Campau's flj to deep right In the
last inning wns a feat that has
been seldom equalled. Both pitchers
did well , ns did the teams , the
only error of consequence being Bradloy's
fumble of Clarke's tlirco-buggerin the eighth
inning. Not a run was made by cither nine
until the seventh Inning , Annis was first to
face Conway , but hit a grounder to Man
ning , who throw him out nt first. Than
O'Connoll , who has not hit the ballat all
before while here , stepped up and hit the
first ball pitched to right for thrco bases.
Miller followed him ami hit the ball to Man
ning , who throw it to Guuson , the sphere
reaching Gunson's hands a second before
O'Councll , who hud started homo , reached
there , A collision occurred and
both men felltho boll dropping
out of Gunson's hands In thostruggloand the
umpire decided O'Coniicll safe. This decision
converting the grand stand for a few mo
ments into n howling pandemonium , while
the entire Kansas City team left the diamond
mend and expostulated with Brcnnan. It
was of no avail , however , and the game pro
ceeded. In the eighth inning , after Wilson
was retired at first , Clarke hit to deep right
center for thrco bases. Bradley went after
the balU but fumbled it after ho got it and
Clarke crossed the plato ou the error. In the
ninth inning two of the Kansas City team
had been retired when Campau came to bat
and hit the ball to almost the sarno place
that Clarka did. Annls ran for it and pulled
it down with ono hand , making the best
play of the game and retiring the side. The
following is the score :

game , and there were a largo number o
brilliant plays during the fifteenth inning
At the close of the fifteenth inning Umpiri
Hagau called the game on account of dark
ness. St. Paul hud the gnuio well in hand
and wouid have undoubtedly won , but In tin
seventh inning , after two hands were out

ing to men to cross the pinto and tying tin
score. From this time until the end of tin
game neither side could score , although boll
had men on third several times , but wharj
Holding prevented run-getting. In tin
fifteenth inning Carroll , of St. Paul , got firs
on an error by Gallagher , stole second am
went to third on Krolg's ' wild throw , but wa
caught at the plato and doubled up will
Kellly at first on the latter's hit UiGallnghci
The next batsman wont out ou n fiy. In tli
twelfth inning Minneapolis came near get
ting n man across tlio plato. Hawes go
first on Itollly's low throw and stole suconc
cn Plckett's muff of Karl's throw. After th
'next batsmau hud struck out Nicholson hi
Bixfuly , but the ball was returned quickly
holding Hawes nt tlilrd where ho was loft

with the Interest on tno same when they became -
came duo and i > ny the taxes and nny delin
quency In the payment of these obligations ,

ment of her while they lived with his sister ,
Mrs. Midgeloy , and also to testify in regard
to hi * associations with his Illinois nnd Now
York friends. Her testimony yesterday
wns directly in the line of that given Wednes

the defendant. The "state is producing all
the evidence possible to show Burgo's san
ity before and at the time the assault was
mndo.

tify to her brother's opndltlou and his treat

Ouo of the most revolting nnd sickening of
nameless crimes wns perpetrated about noon
.yesterday by n fiend In n barn near Jefferson

son of S. A. Moollcr , n conductor , who lives
lu the brick block on the southwest corner
of Sixteenth nnd Chicago streets.
Shortly after dinner the llttlo fel
low was mot by the unknown
human bnito while playing In Jefferson
square. The man tried to pursiiado the boy
to go with him , but ho wns afraid to , but was
finally Induced to go by the promise of
money * The miticulnrs are too vllo for pub
lication , nnd the boy has been horribly mis
used. There arc facts connected with the case
that make hanging too good for the wretch
who perpetrated the oulrngo. Tlio mother Is
heart-broken and the father frnntic with in
dignation. In conjunction with the pnllco
Mr. Moollef has been using ovor.v moans to
ferret out the whereabouts of the brute. Ono

11KTTKR rtAlTjUOAp"FACILITIES. .
Tlio Union Club ItmuKurntcs n Move
ment nnd Hopes Kor Success.
There wns not a Very largo attendance of
the members of the Union club at the moot
ing last night , when the subject of securing
better rnllrond facilities for Omaha was .
thoroughly nnd intelligently discussed. The
plan of organizing a trust of Omaha citizens
to build n line through the northwest received
considerable attention from tlio gentlemen ,
who scorned divided us to whether it was best
to enlist already established roads in the en
terprise or Invite the county to vote a sub
sidy for the building nnd maintenance ! of the
road.
road.Mr.
Mr. Barker thought the trust plan the best ,
ns he and the rest of the citizens of Omaha
had grown tired waiting for the railroads to
carry out their promises.
Mr. Shclton changed the subject by asking
the gentlemen present if they didn't think it
a good idcu to ask the people of
the county td vote u subsidy to the
Chicago , Koch Island & Pacific railway
to build n line into the city from the south.
Expressions pro and con were indulged in ,
but nothing definite was arrived at.
Mr. Colputzcr thought the Idea of asking
the county to vote bonuses for the required
facilities a good one , and that it would carry.
First , however , they must bo satisfied that
there are no schemers in the proposed im
provements , but that everything is to bo
done nbovo board.
Mr. Murphy expressed confidence that it
the county voted $1,000,000 in bonds for the
encouragement of railroads to como into
Omaha and Nebraska , it would not bo long
before the railroads would bo after the
money , and would give these parts the facili
ties they arc so sadly in need of.
Mr. Barker spoke in a llko strain , nnd In
sisted that Or.mlm's inferior railroad facill-
ities argued against her with eastern capital
ists and money lenders.
Deba\o \ recurring on the plan of n
homo company to build a road
to the northwest , it was stated
that Messrs. John Harbaugh , Herman
Kountze , Frank Murphy , and others , were
ready to put their thousands into the enter
prise. They did not propose to go in , how
ever on n paper road , and will not put up
their money until other citizens show a ten
dency to put in theirs.
Mr. Colpetzor referred to the railroad dis
crimination and spoke principally of the
lumber in.tcrcs.ts. Owing to the discrimina
tion m this commodity , Omaha , which at onetime
time stood third in the list of lumber con
suming cities. , is now away down and is being
throttled dally by the railroads. Mr. Shelton -
ton added that if it wcro not for tlicso rail
road discriminations Omaha's commercial
business would bo ten times as largo as at
present , and asked how the club proposed to
do away with this discrimination.
Answering this question Mr. Colpetzor
thought it could bo done by the aid. of a local
railroad company.
Owing to the slim attendance but tho" interest -
torost which had been Inspired it wns de
cided to adjourn until next Monday night
when a formal organization will bo perfected ,
