THE JACKSON IUOTS.
Minority Ituport of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee.
WASHIXOTOX , August 1. The minority report
port of the senate Judiciary committee on the
Jackson ( Miss. ) political riots was submitted
by Senator Pugh In the senate to-day. The
minority says that hearings , were held with
closed doors and in Washington , more
than one thousand miles from the local
ity of the transaction. Hence the members
of the committee had no opportunity of ex
amining the great mass of witnesses who
were on the ground.
The report follows every detail of the oc
currences under Investigation. It snys :
'This conspiracy of McOill nnd Baldwin to
eliminate the negro vote and to secure the
co-operation of the committee of one hun
dred Is suggestive of the methods by which
these- southern outrages are manufactured
for political purposes. " It declares that
Baldwin stands iinp'enehe'd as utterly un
worthy of credit. It finds the evidence
against the federal officials Inculpated by the
majority ns unimportant , untrustworthy nnd
illegal. "It Is not shown , " the minority
says , "that any of the federal officers incrim
inated by the committee did a dingle illegal
act. or aided or advised In the doing of such. "
The report Is signed by Benators Pugb ,
Coke , Vest and George.
THE BEHENICE BKAHLE CASE.
The Question of Guardianship Set
tled by Jmljjo Baker.
CIIICAOO , August 1. [ Special Telegram to
Tnc Bcn.l After ntwo days' legal battle , In
tensified by Ill-will between her relationstho
custody of little Berenice A.Searlo was award
cd to Judge Thomas C. Patterson , of North
plntte , Nob. Judge Patterson , who is Bere
nice's aunt's husband , was appointed her
guardian by the Lincoln county , ( Neb. )
court. Mrs. Emly A. Tbotnpkins , another
aunt , who lives In Chicago , disputed Judge
Patterson's right to the child on the ground
that before she committed suicide the girl's
mother gave her to Mrs. Thompkins. The
point was also made that the appointment of
Patterson as guardian by the Nebraska court
gave him the right to take the girl In Illinois.
Judge Baker said , in deciding the case , that
Alfred C. Tolo , to whom Mrs. Thompkins
wanted to give Berenice for adoption , no
floubt had the means nna iho disposition to
bring the child up properly , but ho had no
legal rights beside that of an unclo-at-law ,
nnd a properly appointed guardian. Mr. and
Mrs. Patterson nro beloved by the girl , who
Willingly went with thorn after she had nffec-
tlonatoly kissed Mrs. Thompkms nnd Mrs.
tt'olo , both of wh&m cried bitterly.

HiTlit Hrc Poet.
Tlio game yesterday wns n grdttt Avalkaway
For Oumhii over St. Paul.
1'ho homo team's ' , sluggers hit the sphere
hard ,
While thd visitors could scarce see the ball.
The Apostles made errors , and Omaha too ,
But the visitors' were frequent and
Omaha's few ;
And Lovctt's Inshoot there wns no use
In tryln
Whllo the Omahogs fairly paralyzed Ury'nn.
Thcro were singles nnd doubles , and even a
triple ,
And a homo run by Miller which caused
quite n ripple
Hut say , what's the use of telling you more ;
At the bottom you'll llnd tlio official score.
Omnliu O , St. 1'ntil n.
The npostolic crowd from the home of the
walrus nnd the whlto bear , went out to the
ball park yesterday afternoon ns full of hope
nnd ] oy nnd confidence as a lot of school boys
going to n circus.
Little did they dream of the dark cloud
Lhat was so soon to cnshndow their young
lives , nnd leave them sad , subdued nnd ser
rowful.
At practice they were ns frisky ns a lot of
; ay gazelles , nnd throw the ball with an nc-
: urncy , and caught it with u certainty , and
mmmercd it with an emphasis that made the
Iftccn hundred anxious people in the stands
shiver with apprehension and alarm.
Indeed they did present n formidable , ns
well as au impressive picture , ns they caj
vorted like a lot of colts Just lot out to pas
ture , nnd the universal verdict was that
the Omahas were doomed to got it in the
neck. They nro every ono model nthlctos ,
clean limbed , supple and brawny us nnv co-
iiortot the old Olympic days , and it's nolittlo
wonder that fear filled the hearts of the
spectators.
Tlio war horse as described in the Book of
Job falls short of the eminence reached by
the exultation of the St. Pauls.
Instead of u horse it wns nine lithe and
muscular young men whoso necks were
clothed with thunder nnd the glory of whoso
nostrils was terrible it was the Apostles.
They puwetli not in the valley , but mockoth
nt Omaha , and ; neither turncth they back
nt the bats of Justice ; the curves of Thomas
Lovett rattlcth against them , and the big
? lovcs nnd wind-lllled chest protector of mo
lord juho Nuglol When the assault com
menced by the Omahas they would swnl-
lowcth the ground with llercoiiess and rage ,
and they saith among tlio ball tosscrs ha ! ha I
and they smelleth the battle afar off , tbo up
roar of the spectators nnd the iicrco cries of
the umpire.
But stranger things than all thcso came to
pass.
pass.Tho first brown appareled hero that stepped
out from the rcliu of shade along the grand
stand Into the crematory sunshine of the
first day of August was that lovely youth ,
yclopt by Ills mamma , Jimmy Burns.
A ripple of hand clapping run like a zephyr
through the crowd , and the Poet look around
as much as to sav , "ShalM paste her. " Then
ho turned und with all the power within his
puissant frame , ho pasted her.
Out through the quavering sunshine the
sphere went whirling like an acrcollto
athwart the background blue , and a mighty
shout arose , but quickly fell into a husky
groan , us Mr. Murphy galloped back , settled
him like a statue of Atlas aud took in the
whizzing globo.
That wus bad ; it looked like a "homer , " and
yet was an out.
Sir William Annls caino next , but all ho
could do was pop up a high foul
to n herculean young Irishman named Mor-
rissoy.
Morrissey , they say , Is growing fat on
fouls.
Following Billy came ho of the musical
Jaw , hotter known among statesmen. Jurists
nud politicians , as Jack Crooks. Ho only
waited a moment , then sent the ball like a
streak along the ground , sufo past second.
Everybody yelled.
Then O'Connoll , stimulated by the plaudits
bestowed on "Well ! Well I11 on an infield hit ,
boat the ball to first.
Everybody yelled some more.
A dead calm instantly followed , th6ugh ,
for Coonoy fouled out to Earlo.
The Apostles came in , nnd the first thing
that happened was a strike out for Lovett.
His perplexing shoots wcro too much for Mr.
Carroll.
That was nice.
Anotlmr Italian named Murphy ambled to
the plato to try his luck. Ho drove a
wicked ball at Crooks , nnd al
though the lutior made u good
stop , ho wus unable to throw the batter out.
Morrissov , like some tall oak , next towered
up nt the plate. Ho looked big enough to
knock u church down , hut nil ho could do
was drive a sharp ono to Miller , who llrcd
Murphy out nt second. There was tinio
enough for a good double , but Murphy got
In Ciook's way nnd the young man tried to
knock an English sparrow off thn bleaching
boards , und Morrlssoy waltzed around to
third. Pickctt brought him homo by a'snfo
smash to center , nnd the grand stand ejected
ono great big soulful " ah 1"
But thank the little twinkling stars they
could do no more.
In the second it was one , two. thrco for
Omaha , aud'one , two , three for the Apostles ,
two of the latter striking out.
In the next inning Joe Miller was the first
to bat. Two strikes wcro called on him
where ho caught the ball In the ribs and sent
It flying out to Murphy's territory.
Murphy started for It , but his little feet
caught in a clump of four-leafed clover , and
ho went headlong upon his head , and the ball
sailed on out over him like a bird upon the
wing , out , out , out , across the bii-ycjo track
and among the carriages , and honest old Joe
galloped clear home.
Talk about making the welkin ring , why
the audlcnpo fairly made it howl.
The score was tied , nnd being In a hurry to
reach the next inning , the next thrco moil
wont out in succession.
In their half , the visitors came within a
hair's length of making another niut but Mr.
Miller and Mr. Nnglo were too smooth for
them , nnd Murphy was taughtat the plato.
In the fourth , Chippy McUnrr , who is
Omaha's base bnll hero to-day , although a
counlo of weeks ngo hm name was mud ,
stepped up and cracked the bull out to the
16ft Hold fence for a coruplo of cushions.
Naglostruck ; out , but LovMt's fly was muffed
by Can-oil nnd Chippy wont to third , and
then what did ho. do I
Why hn Dimply got up on his toes and stele
home.
Oh my , oh me , how the people did shout.
Millar then drove n hot ono right at Mr.
Br.vnau , Ho attcmuted to catch Lovett on a
force nt second , but Shaffer dropped the ball
and both men were safe.
Say , you should bavo heard them ring the
welkin again.
It was BO\Y the Poet's turn. He did Just
what Miller did , hit to Brynan , and Bryuan
in again essaying u double play throw
to second , but ho missed Shaffer by about
aix foot , and Lovett cams homo and Miller
reached third. Annls then continued the
uproar by making a dandy two-bagger , and
clearing the bases. Crooks , Just for the fun
of the thing , slfppod in another afo drive ,
nnd Annis scored. P. O. then eamo up with
a smile oh bis f uco as deep as -well and as
broad aa a barn door , and corked a hot ono
to Pickctt , and Plckett threw him out at
Vrst. Morrisscy , in h'is eagerness to make n
doubla by throwing "Well ! Well I" out n
third , throw wild and Jack brought lu the
sixth tally.
Wasn't that sufficient to innko n wooden
Indian yell ! It was several minutes before
: ho uproar subsided. Coonoy's ' out retired
.ho side.
In their half St. Paul drew a blank.
In the fifth McOarr's magnificent thrco
jaso drive , and n passed ball , scored another
tally. St. Paul could do nothing , neither
could Omaha In the sixth , but lu this In-
nlng Morrissey scared for the visitors on a
safe hit , n passed ball and nn error byO'Con-
ucll.
In the seventh McOarr made another hit
ind another run. Ho stele second , and cnmo
noino on Lovett'a sufo drive.
No more runs were made until the ninth ,
when the Anostlcs , on a bnso on balls nnd
three singles added thrco tallies to their
score.
And thus the gnmo ondcd.
It would not be right to wind up this rc-
iiort without n word of praise for Umpire
ilngnn. His work was simply perfection

The councllmon from the First ward wore
directed to nrrnngo with the B. & M. for a

street.
The city engineer was authorized to em
ploy and equip thrco additional men for Held

Peter Hendrlcksen , through his attorney ,
J. C. Cowin , asked whether the city proposed
to pay a judgment of $753 in his favor with
out further proceedings. The query was to-
forred to the city nttorney.
The following contracts from the bonrd of
public works were approved : For paving
Furnnm street from Thirty-sixth to Thirty-
seventh with cedar , iu favor of J. B. Smith
& Co. ; with Regan Bros. & Co. for paving
Lcavenworth street from Twenty-fourth to
Twenty- fifth with cypress ; with J. E. Riley
for curbing Fourteenth street from Howard
to Lcavenworth.
The committee to whom was referred the
unfinished 1SS7 paving contracts of Regan
Bros , recommended that the paving on
Grace , Seventeenth ( from Farnntn to Barney -
noy ) nnd Eighteenth streets , bo .v.vnrded to
Rcgnn Bros. , to bo done with cypress blocks ,
and thnt the contracts for Pnclllc , Twenty-
fourth , Seventeenth ( from Dnvenport to
Cummlngs , Sixth , Ninttosnth nnd Hnrnoy
streets bo cancelled nnd ro-ndvcrtised.
The report provoked some discussion , nnd
Mr. Ford took the part of the arbor day , as
ho expressed it. Ho asserted thnt the
Rcgnns hnd been deluyed by the curbing
contractors , nnd hnd * | > avcd all streets , ex
cept two blocks , in which the curbing was
ready for the pavers. Ho snid the Regans
hnd boon the victims of those of whom they
bought mntcrinl , mid ho nlso Intimated his
belief thnt tbo board of publio works
nnd the city engineer wcro "down on
the Regnns. " What is sauce for Peter
should bo sauce for his master , snid
Mr. Ford , nnd the council ought to
jnmp on the curbing contractors and othnr
delinquents us well ns the Regans.
President Bechol felt snubbed bccnuso the
Twenty-fourth street contract wns to bo cnn-
ccllcd. Ho wnnted another day's grace nnd
felt hurt bocnuso concessions hnd boon fre
quently made In favor of other councllmcn
nnd ono was now denied him.
The recommendation of the cominlttoo wns
amended by requiring cedar on Nineteenth
street Instead of cypress , nnd the report wns
adopted. Messrs. Ford nnd Van Camp voted
In the negative.
The bonrd of publio works submitted n
report of their notion In the Regan contracts.
It wns In accord with the report of the

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL DEBATE.
Tlio lloiiso .COMSHIIIPH the Entire
Dny In Iho Consideration
of the Army Appro
priation Hill.
Senate.
W.A8H1XOTOX , August 1. Mr. Plumb , from
the committee oil agriculture , reported back
the house bill to enlarge the powers nnd
duties of the department of agriculture , and
to create nn executive department , to bo
known ns the department of ngrlculturo. Ho
said that the bill wns In the same shnpo ns
when last reported and recommitted , and
that ho would call It up for action at an early
day. In the bill , ns reported , the provisions
of the house bill for the transfer of the
weather bureau from the war department to
the department of agriculture nro struck out.
The following bills wcro taken up and
passed :
House bill , to authorize the AVinona &
Southwestern railway company to build n
bridge across the Mississippi at Wlnona ,
Minn.
House bill , to protect purchasers of lands
lying In the vicinity of Denver , heretofore
withdrawn by the executive department ns
lying within the limits of certain railroad
grants , nud afterwards held to lie without
such limits.
Son a to bill , to grant to the city of Ctmd-
_ ron , Neb. , the right to lay pipe lines across
contain tracts of lands.
The senate resumed consideration of the sun
dry civil appropriation bill , thu pending ques
tion being on nn amendment ottered by Mr.
Call , appropriating $10,000 for the recovery
of the property of the lute confederate stntes
now held in ndverso possession to the gov
ernment. After n speech by Mr. Cnll In
support of the amendment , Mr. Edmunds
8,1 la that ho had been n member of n commit
tee a few years ngo which had investigated
that whole subject , nnd ho was satisfied that
the appropriation would bo n useless waste of
money , nnd that the wisest thing to bo done
with the late confederacy was to forget all
tibout It.
Mr. Ulbson opposed the amendment. IIo
submitted that it was not proper nt this Into
nour to cull In question the validity or in
tegrity of the surrender that was made by
the olllccrs of the confederate forces. The
confederate states had died n noblu death on
the field of battle many years ngo , nil that
survived being of that sentiment of honor
which had bcatou high in the hearts of men
who represented that fallen power.
Mr. Call did not sympathize with Mr. Gib
son in the opinion that the confederacy
should be buried , and thnt Its good friends
should let It alone. The confederate states
would live in history for the great
nnd heroic characters which they had de
veloped. Their fame was written In the
Immortal pages of history by such Illustrious
characters as Leo and Jntkson , nnd ho was
glad to know tluit the loyal hearts of the
north und of its soldiers responded to that
sontimeiit.
Mr. Allison moved to Iny Mr. Call's resolu
tion on the table , nnd the motion wns
acreed to.
The bill was then reported buck to the sen-
nto nud nil the amendments were concurred
in. except that appropriating $50,000 for tlio
widow of Prof. Bnlrd , on which Mr. Hcagan
demanded the yeas and nays. The amend
ment was concurred In ; yeas 23 , nays 11.
Mr. Plumb inquired of Mr. Allison nsto the
length of time it would probably require for
the sundry civil bill to become n law. Ho said
that no made the Inquiry with the object ol
teaming the probable length of the session.
Mr. Allison stated thnt there remained un
disposed of live of the regular appropriation
bills. Ho thought that It might bo
safely assumed that ull the appropria
tion bills could bo disposed of next weclt.
As to the tariff bill , it was not possible for
him to say when it could bo reported to the
senate , but it wns the intention of the coin-
in Itteo on finance to bring that bill into the
chamber nt the earliest practicable moment ,
nnd to have It considered with nil duo speed
consistent with its cnroful consideration.
After nn unsuccessful motion to have the
senate meet at 11 a. m. , the sonnto ad
journed.
House.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , August 1. After dls-
posine of unimportant business on the speak
er's table , the house went into committee of
the whole , Mr. Springer , of Illinois , in the
chair , on the senate amendment to the army
appropriation bill.
The pending motion was thnt made by Mr.
Townshcnd , of Illinois , to non-concur in the
amendment appropriating S'J,50 ! ) for repairs
to the sea wall nnd wharf nt Willot's Point.
Mr. Burnos of Missouri nddrcsscd him
self to the policy which the house should
follow In noting upon the sennto amend
ments , which is offered in the house , would
bo out of order.
Mr. Wheeler of Mississippi could sco In
the amendment no disposition on the part of
the sennto to infringe on the powers of the
houso.
Mr. Butterworth thought thnt the senate
acted under nn apprehension that the forti
fications bill would not bo reported , nnd
deemed it wise to provide a defence on the
army bill. Ho advocated the fortifica
tions bill as reported from the
committee on appropriations , as ngnmat
the plan provided in the senate
amendment. In that the former invited com
petition in the building of guns and provided
tor a board to pass upon their merits. In
doing so ho had ono or two heated colloquies
with Mr. Uoed of Maine , which were much
relished by the democratic sldo.
Mr. Laird of Nebraska spoke In support o f
the senate amendments ns the only way of
securing thnt protection which the country
needed.
The pending nmendniont was then non-
concurred In , ns were also nmondmcnts np-
propriating $1,000 for repairs to the works at
old Farranens , Pousacoia bay , Florida , nnd
appropriating $000,000 for the manufacture
or purchase of cannon nnd carriages.
Mr. Buyno moved to substitute the
Allegheny nrscnnl for Wntervliet iirsennl ns
the site of the proposed gun factory. Ro-
jQctod.
Mr. Townshend moved to now cuncur in
tbo nmrndmcnt providing for the cstnblsh-
ment of a gun factory mul for the purchase
of steel. Agreed to nnd the committee rose
nnd reported its action to the houso.
The recommendation of the committee ns
to minor an.emlinenta was carried out. The
amendments were non-concurred In.
Mr. Sayers of Texns offered n resolution
declaring that the house will insist upon Its
disagreement to the senate amendments re
lating to fortification and ordnance , and that
the house requests n conference ) thereon ,
Mr. Townshend raised n point of order
against the resolution , and pending a de
cision the house adjourned ,
