Fourteen hits , among which were throe
three baggers nnd a homo run , coupled with
some slouch v playing on tha part of the homo
team , were the potent factor * in the victory
that fell Dos Moines' way ut the ball park
yesterday afternoon.
The boys' fought stubbornly , but vainly , to
save the day.
While the Prohlbs hit like Trojans , the
Omahogs did some slugging too , Billy Annis
Betting a hit every time ho wont to the bat ,
five In all , with a total of nlno bases. His
beautiful drive to the loft field carriages was
a homo run hit , but ho purposely halted on
third to keen Sage close up behind the bat.
Kennedy has been a puzzle to the homo
team , but yesterday they Ju st began to solve
his tricky "ins" and "outs , " but the solu
tion came too late.
But as to the game.
Cooney quickly retired on a long fly to Hol-
llday , but Annis hit safe to short , only to bo
put out stealing second. Crooks s.it down
from short to Stearns.
For the visitors it was likewise one , two ,
three.
In the second , Shannon hit one to Stearns.
Burns then stepped up and corked out u long
ono to Morton , which that gentleman pro
ceeded to mulT.
Then a great cry went up , but died away
in a mournful wail , as Shannon , who had
essayed to get homo on the error , was caught
at the plate. Gorman and Miller wcro
pocdtly retired.
For the Prohlbs , Macullar hit right at
Burdick. The ball struck his shins and
liounded off to third , and Macullar was safe.
The hitter was anight a moment latter tryIng -
Ing to score on Van Dyke's puny hit to
Miller.
No inoro runs worn made until the last half
of the fourth , when Dos Moincs , got in three.
Quinn and Stearns both hit safe. Then Ma
cullar and Morton fouled out , but Alvord hit
safe and the llrst two catno home , Alvord
going to third on the throw in , and tullyiug
on Van Dyke's safe hit.
They followed this up with two
more in the llfth , and four In the seventh ,
when satisfied , they quit.
In the eighth the Omahas struck a lucky
streak. Annis smashed out n two-bagger ,
and on Crooks' safe drive ho scored. Then
Captain Shannon covered himself with glory
l > y making a home run , of course driving in
Crooks before him.
In the ninth they secured s couple of runs.
Burdick went out to Ilolliday. Naglo hit
safe , and Coouoy got llrst on an error , Naglo
reaching second. Annis brought them homo
with a line three-bagger to left.

to Tire Hue. ] Judge Locbren has
effectually stopped all Sunday base ball
Withm the city limits by the permanent in
junction which he granted Saturday against
planaser Goodlng and all his players , Mr.
Goodta ? was afterwards disposed to bellevo
that the decision would nocassitnte the into

\ g. jgyi'i '
I base ball In Minneapolis. To-day ,
however , 'he said ! "Some men are like
rubber balls , nnd when , you think they are
downed 'they nro liable to fly up nnd strike
you back. I have n strong ' inclination to
join this class. I have'thought over a scheme
whereby If I can make the proper arrange
ments Sunday games can bo played. 1 shall
know to-day or to-morrow whether the
scheme Is feasible. It is in the form of nir
excursion to n convenient summer resort ,
n ride around the lake on n steamer chartered
for the purpose , nnd n ticket for the ball
gatno In the iiftornoon , all for one price.
There should bo a place somewhere In the
universe where the lovers of the national
gnmo can go nnd enjoy their favorite amuse
ment without being hounded and persecuted
as wo have been in this city. There Is n
striking contrast In the order kept and the
class of people present between the ball
games , where 1 > , IXW people have assembled
without police protection nnd with no dis
turbance , nnd the camu meeting nt Red Rock
yesterday , where there was n free light with
about a dozen of the elders In It , and where
It was necessary , In order to guarantee no
further disturbance , to organize a vigilance
committee of fifty. Brother Gollghtly should
embrace the opportunity to repeat his ex
pression about ' Hell roaring and angels
weeping. ' "

IN A BABY SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Where Little Infants Gradually

A Visit to tlic Farm Finds a Funeral In

Unholy nnd Heartless
IMotlicrs.
Miss BIn.vwell's HP.by Farm.
It. ira's Little Huttoreup who , when she v.-as
K and chav : ; ; : ! ! , practiced baby farming ,
but that waa many years ago. It was in
those years , presumably , that Nan Maxwell ,
Buttercup's prototype in Omaha , lost her
youthfuliicsft nnd beauty , but it is at present
that she is engaged in the somewhat re
markable occupation of "planting" cherubs.
Miss Maxwell is a small , thin , careworn
woman. She is the manager of n baby
homo on Twenty-eighth street , three houses
south of Franklin. The homo is a one-uiid-a-
half story frame building and very aged. It
has two rooms and a half on the ground
floor , with a fore-flngcr attachment on the
loft and in the rear. Upstairs there is a
small cock-loft.
THE llii : reporter visited the scene yester
day. The- board fence in front was
hung with ancient blankets which steamed
in the sun with the fragrance of seventeen
generations. The grass was Decked with
sheets and pillow-slips which were under
going needed and almost Impossible purga
tion. Tlio front door opened on a small
room , and in this was a sight for the coroner.
An old lounge , a cradle , a table littered with
books , linby-fueders and other truck aud a
sewing machine , the veneering of which was
as faded ns the blankets outside , were
strung around the apartment. On trip of the
machine lay a small ironing board , nnd on
top of this a pretty little baby who celebrated
its llrst birthday by dying and going to
heaven. It was dressed in white Marseilles.
A glass of ( lowers hiy beside it. Each of its
little waxen bands enclosed a tiny buuquct
which ( i sympathetic lady neighbor had en
closed in it. On the lounge lay au infant
n few weeks old , battling with the lllcs nud a
nursing bottle , and seemingly but a few d-iys ,
removed from the grave * . Miss Maxwell said
that the mother of the innocent was sup
posed to bo Annie Morris , ami its aunt was
Annie Keith. In the cradle lay a child alwo
u few weeks old , HO near the picture of death
tha' everyone felt there were two dead in
fants in the place. The little ono had not
then , however , passed the portal of death ,
but ere this 1ms perhaps passed away. Miss
Maxwell said the mother of the last men
tioned child was a Mary Olstoad. The
mother of the dead child is Linda Swnnson.
.Sho gave birth to it in the county house.
She is now , it is claimed in New Vork , trav
eling us a nur.su with the family of F. C.
Grnble. She has not been heard from lor
six weeks. During that time Miss Maxwell
has received no money for tlio care of the
waif.
Kev. K. 13. Graham , with some lady mem
bers of his church , was present nnd con
ducted a simple funeral s > ervico. Meantime
TUB HKI : man sought fresh air through the
rear entrance , the atmosphere of the house
being of nbout soventoci. kinds , com
posed of vapors from scrubbed lloor.s , drying
diui > crs and sundry odors Mich as are likely
to display u fondness for n largely attended
nursery , The room behind tlio front ono
was strung with lines loaded with baby
clothes in process of baking , while in the
rear of It was a hovel in which ono of tlio
children , which recently died , \yas loft over
night on old rugs , to keep , until a neighbor
took it , dressed nnd prepared it for the
grave.
.lohn Mahoney , the county ngont , and his
undertaker drove up after the bervk-e.
Neighborly , kind hands put n rough
cloth into the coMn , and , amidst the
tears of the ladies , tlio little motherless
one was laid in the plain conin. Hut the
child was too largo. The cotlln was roturui-d
to town and burial was deferred until the ar
rival of another. The little ono had bean
dead twenty-four hours. It was already
"changing. " This was the third child who
nad died in the "homo" within a week , one
nuring been buried on Sumlny and the
third ou last Saturday , also by the county.
Inbido of three weeKs llvo children have
died , but Miss Muxwoll does not know how
many children hnvo died In the year she has
been running the place. Kho has no reyisU-r
and only depends upon her menniry. The
frequency of these deaths aroused Ouunty
Agent Mahonoy's attention. Ho told the
woman she hud no right to continue tlio busi
ness She had no accommodation und any
way should insist that mothers should pay
for the burial of dead little ones.
There is no doubt that Mr. Muhonoy truth
fully dlagnozed the case. Miss Maxwell
means well , but Is out of her gphcro. Kne
has noysr nmrnou and Ima but two adopted
children. Shu cortulnly does the beat ht >
can to tuko care of her charges , but that U of
little use. Tliry must die us they have died
in such u home. No mother who cared for
her offspring would trust it in uch u
place , and the only mothers who do , ura
these who uro guilty and ashamed in their
maternity. It mutton little to them , n * the
circumstances show , whether Uiuir'cliiUirmi
llvo or did. They tmiply leave their illegit
imates , pay for them for a few weeks and
then are heard of no more. That has boon
Miss Maxwell's experience. She can not ,
consequently , oven if she know how , care
properly for children and should bo
prevented from further doing so.
If Illegitimate children are entitled
to life , they should not bo robbed of that
right by this alleged disgusting baby slaugh
ter house , which is inoro of an aid to unholy
women to cover up their shame than it is of
almost anything else. The neighbors are
warmly Interested in the matter and say that
they will take steps to see that she receives
no more of these waifs. From her scanty
income she has been supporting a buxom
German girl , two adopted children and her
self , while securing the house from the
owner , an old man named Hill , whom she
boards. Yesterday's proceedings especially in-
scunsed the neighbors , t-g tbut lliero 13 no
doul > t but the home wfll hereafter do some
thing else besides slaughtering innocents.

W.vsnixoTOX , July 0. The senate to-day
took up the river nnd harbor bill , some
amendments to which hau been reserved on
Saturday for separate votes. The demand
for a separate vote on the Ilenncpln canal
amendment was withdrawn by Mr. Vest , on
the suggestion that the question miglit bo
left to the conference committee , but subse
quently the motion to reconsider was made
by Mr. Sherman.
As to the amendment abolishing the Mis
souri Hiver commission , Mr. Vest offered to
withdraw it at the request of Mr. Paddock ,
but Mr. Plumb insisted upon a vote being
taken , nud made an argument against the
further concurrence of the commission. Mr.
Paddock argued against the amendment.
The subject was under consideration , he
said , by the Mississippi improvement com
mittcc , and until tliat committee had an op
portunity to complete its investigation and
make its report ho did not think so radical a
change ought to be made. At the close of a
long discussion the amendment abolishing
the Missouri river commission was dis
agreed to.
Sherman said ho would not object on his
motion to reconsider the vote agreeing to the
Hennepin canal amendment , althuugh ho
was opposed to it. I'lio bill wus then passed.

Turpio then proceeded to address the
Semite on the president's tariff message.
Kofomng to the tariff issue and noininatiuii
made at Chicago , ho said ; "The platform
and nominee of that convention were alike
exponents of the views and interests of those
privileged castes which had so long , under
the loud and false clamor of protecting
others , cared only for themselves ; who had
learned nothing of popular interests except
to betray then ; . The candidate of the Chicago
cage convention was the well beloved and
chosen representative of the rank and law
less growth of incorporated power. lie ( the
candidate ) would faithfully bo the friend of

uiinui'ihaary restrictions , and by the per
mitted immigration of Chinamen. Although
lie was made of no small capacity , and was
of great mental force , ho had that
which wus not often found with
secli qualities a harsh intollorunco which
treated dissent as idiocy. IJceply touched
and tinged with the prnjudlces of an exclu
sive class of aristocracy , ho belonged to that
group of 810 reactionary statesmen , ( tradi
tional pateriilsts ) , whom the people hud so
often rejected , uud whom they would reject
again. "
