A small crowd assembled at the ball park jcstcrday afternoon to sco tlio Crnno Hrothcrs' City league team and the Omaha * play nn exhibition panic. Tlio amateurs wcro noticeably nervous and did not put up nearly the game they nro capable of. Gclst , their pitcher , possessed neither speed nor cunning , nnd the Omnhogs hit him at will. The center garden play of Camp was the host of nil. Ho gathered in three nice files nnd hit the ball hard. The professionals all did well. Hums mulled an easy lly ball , but he is too reliable n player to bo blamed for such a mistake In nn exhibition game with n team so greatly inferior to his own. The pitching of Cassian is deserving of no especial men tion. Like Geist ho is neither speedy nor crafty , and had ho been pitching against ball players they would have lined the llfo out of him. The score , however , will tell the tale mo ro fully than words. Head It ; " CKXNI : linos. AH. u. nil. ro. R. Lawson , 11) Faber , rf , c Firth , If Durkcc , .11) O. Goist,2b L. Camp , ! ) b E.

Judge need's ofllco was the scene of a most peculiar incident yesterday , in which woman's weakness , even to the stifling of the maternal instinct , was fully portrayed. The husband of the woman is an honest , well-to- do appearing man from Iowa , evidently a farmer. Ho is comparatively young and not ill-looking. The woman is very pretty , ana up to a few weeks ago has been an exemplary wife. The result of their union is a very at tractive little girl of four years. Their mar ried life has been a pleasant ono until a shoit time since the tempter came in the shnpo of n handsome young follow from Omaha and the young wife fell. The young gentleman from the Onto City seemed to wield n strange in fluence over her and 'ho ' finally induced the infatuated woman to fly with him to Omaha. Slio did so , taking with her the child. The husband was astounded when he found the note from her bidding him farewell. Ho had never di earned her capable of such faith lessness and infamy and little dreamed that the young fel'ow ' whom he had royally enter tained as a guest a number of times would thus repay him. Ho has spent \\cuks limit ing for the guilty pair not that ho cares for her who bears his name , as ho says his love for her is dead but ho wished to have re- stoied to him his pretty little child. Ho finally learned Unit the runaway couple were living hero in Omaha and on going to the pobtolllco ho found that there was : i letter there for the paramour of his wilo. Going before Justice Heed ho had a warrant sworn out for the ar rest of the fellow , and in company with a constable the husband stationed himself near the general delivery window of the postoillce and kept a keen lookout for tlio destroyer of his happiness. Ho did not hnvo to wait long and the minute the paramour stopped inside the onlco ho found himself under arrest. Ho was taken to Justice Head's olllec and tlio recreant wife was sent for. Whan she ar rived the trio asked for a chance to have a private talk together and the Judge assigned them his private olllco. EjFor nearly four hours they were closotrd together and finally tlio strange agreement was made between them that tlio husband was to have the child and the paramour was to retain the wifo. The husband also caused the charge of adul- tciy entered against his rival to bo dis charged from custody. The judge w.is as tonished at the turn of nftulrs , but did ac- coiding to the husband's request. The final patting was n truly pathetic ono. The little child in its father's arms was cry ing to go back to "mamma , " while the mother with the little one's voieu ringing in her cars turned away sobbing us though her heal t was broken , and .soon disappeared to continue her sinful relations with the para mour , for whom she had sacrificed her child. The father has returned to ills farm , while the guilty pair will continue to live as man and wife in this city. Hurrahing 1'or Cleveland. Wlillo making the midnight air hideous With hurrahs for Cleveland hist nignt a drunken cook employed at the Philadelphia tcstaurant was arrested by Olllcor Stiles. The knight of the frying pan claimed It as his right to yell for whoever lie pleased and refused to go with the ofllcor. A despcrato struggle ensued , in which the muscular cook was almost denuded of iiis clothes. Ho meanwhile added profanity to his yells and alargociowd quickly gathered to see \\iiat tlio disturbance was. Ho was finally dragged to the patrol box , and it took three policeman to convoy him thence to the lock-up. At the central station he continued Ins deafening dm , and it took several shower baths to quid him. _ A YOIIIIK Ilmmway Couplo. The police are looking for a Jlftccn-ypnr- old girl named Ella Stark , who left her homo at Tokamnh thrco days ago , to elope with n youth of nineteen named Hurt Walker. Ella Is very tall for her ago , has dark -hair and complexion , and blno oyis Butt is smooth faced , bus light complexion and hair and is about live feet eight .indies In height. The giil has fallen desperately in love with this worthless young reprobate much against her parent's wishes , ami the alTair resulted In their clopomont on Monday. They are thought to bo living together in Omaha. Street Cur Koliliery. About 11 o'clock last night , as the driver of ono of the street carq on the blue line was about thrco blocks fiom the fair giounds , his car was suddenly stopped by a couple of masked higli\\a > men. Ono of them soirccl the horses by the bits and the other , presenting a revolver , ordered the driver to give up his cash box.
