Lome to-day by defeating the Chicago Ma
roons in u close and interesting game in the

to four scattering hits besides striking out
twelve men. Outside of the first inning ,
When ho was touched up for four singles and

Tales ol'tho Cntnpiilun.
"Tun 13nn yesterday said that n number of
the councllmcn wcro disposed to go to the
legislature to knock out the police
and lire commission , " said n gentleman :
"IJut tlmt is not nil they want to go
there for. They intend also to Icnpek the
mayor out. You know that his term of ofllco
dee notcxpirn until about a year from next
January. The councilman whoso names you
Imvo mentioned want to cut that short by
amending the charter so at to restore the old
spring election. They nro sore on the mayor ,
] ust us so ro as they nro on the commission ,
nnd they think that this Is the only way that
they can get rid of him. It's a bold gamo.
13ut these fellows who have stood ID the way
of the best government of the city , now that
they have been beaten , nro desperate enough
to undertake anything. Even if they should
succeed in passing the amendment , the huv
would bo retroactive. They will flnd out ,
however , that they are proposing moro than
they can accomplish. "
C. E. Yost , who is working for the position
of state treasurer , says that ho has about a
dozen competitors and that if ho gets n fair
delegation from this county , ho will have a
good chance for nomination. A different
opinion was expressed by another party yes
terday who claimed that Douglas county
was expecting too much in asking the sena
tor , the congressman and the stnto treasurer.
lie thought she might bo able to secure the
congressman but that the line would pro
bably bo drawn there which would leave out
Yost.
"U'o nro not Council nor Webster men in
our ward ns yet , " said n Sixth ward citizen.
\Vo have a light of our own on our hands.
"We are getting our club into the hands of
the people us opposed to u ring which has
heretofore run it. Inflict wo Imvo never
had much of n club , but whenever any con
vention was to bo held or anything to bo
done , 'J3111' Marrow , Joe Howies and 1'npo
got themselves elected to them nnd placed
themselves on the ecntnl committee. Wo
uro not going to stiuid this much longer , because -
cause the citizens have tnUeu hold of tlio
matter nnd will endeavor to make tlio club
a representative ono. Hill Marrow every
body knows us n wire puller. You can sco
him almost every das' in the street.nnd I have
frequently wondered how ho managed to
live. I thoughtho was generally unemployed.
Hut I have since learned thut he is in the cm-
ploy of the board of education , and I am told
tlmt ho has been privately used by members
of that body to do political work for them.
In the Hint place , I don't think any member
of the board has a right to rob the people in
this manner , and in the next place , I think
the unaspiring citizens of the Sixth ward
will bo nblo to get ulon without Mr. Mor
row's ' questionable leadership. "
I/AST NIGHT M CAUCUSES.
The First AVnrtl Instructs Its Dele-
irntes For Council.
The First Wtird republican club met last
night at National hall , corner of Thirteenth
nnd Williams streets , and after listening to a
committee report resolved itself into a cau
cus for the nomination of county convention
delegates to bo submitted to Friday's prima
ries. John Uush was chosen chairman and
W. A. Kelley seerutury.
Judge llascall announced himself as for
Mr. Council for congress because outside
counties arc favorable to him nnd if nomin
ated lie can bo elected , but he expected to
abide by the nciion of the caucus. Ho urged
that the caucus express its preference for the
congressional candidate before choosing dele
gates , and if n largo majority favored any par
ticular candidate he should haven solid dclcga
tion. Mr. Council has solid delegations in
the Second and the Seventh wards. The
Clurkes , father and son , have worked up a
sentiment against him in the Fifth ward , und
it is their policy to divide the other wards.
Judge Pat Huwes asked at some length
what John L. Webster had done for other
republicans. He said thocandidacy of Web
ster was a scheme of Mayor W. J. Hroatch.
Why , ho asked , docs Mr. Hroatch take men
into his ofllco and read them newspaper ex
tracts saying he can bo elected 1C nominated !
Webster mid George Smith are creatures of
the mayor , and are being used to pull that
gentleman's chestnuts out of the lire. Mr.
Hawes offered the following :
Hesolved , That we , the republicans of the
First flward , believing in tno ability and
qualification of the Hon. W. J. Connell to
represent the First district of Nebraska in
congress , heartily endorse him for that po
sition , and our delegates to the county con
vention are hereby instructed to use then-
best efforts to select delegates to .the con
gressional convention that will support him
from Hrst to last.
Judge Lytle favored giving Mr. Webster a
fair representation among the ward delegates
to avoid a contest.
The resolution was adopted almost unani
mously. Mr. Council was called on for a
speech , nnd thanked the caucus tor the kind
words said for him.
Messrs. Frank Hnndhnucr , J. W. Tj.vtle ,
W. A. Kelley , John Mathlcson , Ernst Stuht ,
John Hosiclcy , Ueorgc Hoffman and Williuui
Umpherson were , chosen a committee to se

crick offered the following , \\lilch was
adopted unanimously :
Hesolved , Thut the delegates to the Doug
las county convention from the Second ward
use nil logillmnto means to secure
a unanimous nud united delegation from
Douglas county to the congressional conven
tion for W. J. Connell for congress.
Fifteen different gentlemen were then
nominated for places on the delegation , and

A motion directing lite ward delegation to
select Ktato and congressional delegates out

berg argued that the delegation hud .been

should have sway , and ho should not bo
hnrnpercd by such a resolution.

on a Uimk Floor.
Yesterday nftcr'uoon , in one of the leading
national banks ; qf- , this city , there was a
meeting of two gentlemen well known in bus
iness and professional circles In this city.
One is an ox-wiiolesalo grocer nnd tobacco
dealer ; the othep. is n young attorney who
has hold a couplo.pf pfllcial positions , who is
also a member of one of our leading social
clubs nnd who 'is now contenting himself
with the private practice of his profession.
The gentlemen Imd. evidently met before.
Only a few words hnd .passed . between them
after their meeting was noticed by the at
taches ot the hank , when the lawyer reached
out with his right in the direction of the ox-
grocer and tobacco dealer. The clinched flu-
gers of the end of the right caught the grocer
on the mouth , and the grocer fell ! A tiny
thread of claret coursed down his chin and
this was followed by a flow which
looked as though it hnd sprung from
the cavity of a suddenly extracted molar.
The grocer struggled to his feet , as well as
ho could do under the circumstances on the
tessolated pavement , but lie hnd scarcely re
gained his perpendicular when ho was again
lolled to the lloor with n blow of cyclopeau
force. By this time , the bank otlicers nnd
clerks interfered , nnd the crestfallen grocer
was conducted rapidly away.

for Hermann Berp , a flannel shirt maker on
Forty-first street. When she went there 200
girls were employed working ou foot
machines. About a year ago steam was put
in and forty or fifty Russians and Poles were
employed , taking the places of a majority of
the girls. Previous to the employment of
the foreigners tlio girls made from $ G to $3 a
week ; now they only make f5 a week. She
heard the proprietor ask ono of the foreigners
employed there if ho could not got htm moro
of his countrymen , Ho told him tlmt ho
could , but would have to send to Europe for
them. Ho told him to send nnd get all ho
could. Therb had been a continual reduction
in wages since the foreigners came to the
factory. She loft there this week on account
of a reduction in the scale of wages. She
said that many of thcso Russians and Poles

The Y , M. C. A. Structure- Found to
Ilftvo n AVcnk 1'lor.
The members of the Y. M. C. A. have been
astonished and alarmed lately to Hnd that
ono of the piers nt the northeast corner of
their handsome now building on the corner
ot Sixteenth nnd Douglas was not strong
enough to support the structure above it and
was giving way. They called the attention
ot the contractors to It , nnd the superintend-
out ot buildings learned of It soon after.
This official nnd his inspectors have been In
council over the matter in regard to condemn
ing the building. Thu contractors claim
that the. pier Is plenty strong
enough and that the crack in It
Is duo to the fact that the
tiler has not been built "in plumb" by the
brick layers who constructed it. The weight
coming upon the part out of plumb has
caused It to crack. They claim that the
defect is easily remedied by fastening iron
rods about the pier , nnd are now busily engaged -
gaged in thus patching up the work. The
Y. M. C. A , people insist that the pier must
bo made perfectly safe and sound nnd ns the
contractors have on their bond a number of
wealthy citizens , the members of the asso
clulioa feel safe.
