Omaha had a close call yesterday nftcrnoor
and she can thank her lucky stars that she
escaped humbling herself to the Mllwaukcca
The attendance , as usual , was good nnt
wlulo there was but little enthusiast !
evinced , the struggle was of a most oxtraor
dlnarlly Interesting character. This was
simply on account of its extreme closeness
and the uncertainty which attended the out
come. It was neither team's ball until the
last man wns out.
Both Clarke ana Shenklo did their part
in the points , nnd in fact a ;
much cnn bo snid of every man in the twc
teams with the exception of Miller nnd Grlf
flth , the former's being excusable ones npor
hard hit grounders , but the latter's was ol
the yellowest lino.
Hiigan , of courso.umplred flnfily.
In the first innings after Burns' out , Chip-
jiey McGnrr tnndo a hit , nnd then without
further ceremony proceed to stcnl llrst , second
end nnd homo.
Of course this was nil accomplished
midst the most enthusiastic npplnuse. II
wns n font no other man In the team couli
have accomplished , or would ovei
attempt. Crooks nnd Miller , thereafter
quietly retired the side.
For the visitors MoAloer led off with r
corking two-bugger , wns ndvnncctl to Hurt
on Forster's ' baser , and tied the scot o on
Strauss' Sufo drive. The next three batter !
went out with delicious rapidity.
Alter this ono lively .innings , the game wa
nn uninterrupted successioh of goose eggs U |
to the ninth , when by sheerest luck , the
Omahas succeeded in lassoing the winning
rmii Griffith muffed Burns' long lly , am
the hatter mndo second bcforo ho couh
recover the ball. The vnliiml
Chippoy then came to the bat , but foi
once ho was unequal to the task , nnd died ot
a high ( pop-up 'to Fuller. Lucky Crooks
however , happened along past nt this crltica
juncture , und suavely throw himself Into the
breach. Ho lined n corker out to center , am :
the Poet dashed homo. Ho scored but b.s
the slimcst shave in the world. The snmllcsl
fraction of subdivided tlmo would hnvo beet
RUfllcicnt to have squelched the giddy High
lander.
Wilson put the side out by cleaving the
wind three times in rnpid succession.
In their final hull the Beer Jerkcrs , got r
man on base , but the subsequent muscle tc
bring him in wns lacking , und with ono loiu
drawn out , lingering groan , they gave up tlu
ghost.
Full particulars will bo found in the ofllcin
score.

j car-old daughter who was kidnapped on

wished nnd they then drove to Dorchester ,
where they purchased tickets for Lincoln ,
On arriving nt thnt city the man bought a
ticket for Omaha and the wonuin ono to
Peoria , 111. The cause of the abduction Is
supposed to bo duo to the fact that the child
is about to fall heir to 810,000 which the kid
nappers wish to got hold of. Telegrams
hnvo been sent by the anxious father to all
parts of the country.

General Sheridan.
Mr. Hoover then briefly addressed the
house In eulogy of the deceased soldier. Ho
said :
'The career of the distinguished military
man whom thcso resolutions were designed
to honor wns a mark of the singular fact that
in this country there was no position In civil
or in military llfo that was not within the
reach of the humblest citizen of the land.
General Sheridan inherited from his fnthor
the lire nnd spirit of that great Irish race
that had so successfully fought the battles of
all countries save his own. "
Mr. Cutchcon , of Michigan , on behalf of
the military committee , seconded the resolu
tion. Plump H. Shcridnn. ho said , entered
'
the voluntco'r service of the United States
as colonel of the Second Michigan cavalry ,
and Michigan had always claimed him lor her
own BO far as his military record in the vol
unteer service wns concerned. The black
steed , so famed in poetry nnd song , upon
which Sheridan rode into the frnyfiom Win.
Chester "twenty miles uwav , " w.is the gift
of citizens of Michigan. This was not n time
to speak of Sheridan's gallantry ns n soldier ,
of his modesty as n man , of his loyalty to the
flag ho followed , or of his boundless fame.
Ho only desired now to express , on bchalt of
Michigan , her boundless grief that this man ,
of the last of that great brilliant galaxy of
generals , who matlo illustrious the epoch in
which they lived , had passed away.
The resolutions wore also seconded in be-
h.-.lf of the people of Ohio by Mr. Grosvenor.
His memory , ho said , is the common heritage
of the loyal people of the country , nnd will
rank ultimately In the peculiar line of war
ho adopted as in which ho made himself con-
splclous ns without n ilvnl , nnd his modest
misdemeanor since the war hns loft nn
American sense of comradeship and n love of
his memory which will over live in the ostl
million of thd people.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted
and the house accordingly adjourned ,
