Rnmo the Dmnlms ngnln provnlloil upon a lot of farm- irs from Minneapolis to go out to the bull { rounds , yesterday afternoon , and play thorn k game ol ball. It would have boon bolter for the Mlnnlos had they rumulnod nway. For the whlto log * not only won the game lulto handily , but gave the visitors an un merciful thrashing. Verily , Minneapolis' lot Is fur from happy. There wore only about four thousand pco- plo present when this hnppcncd , and oh mo I weren't they glad I It was bad enough for Morton's aggrega tion to loose the game , but to bo lumped upon Etna tramucd in through tlio sod was much worse. So It can not bo wondered at that Captain Honglowan us Roro nsn boll last night. Morrison , erratic Morrison , started m to do the rotating for the Minneapolis' , but ho Is no hog and knows when he's got enough. Ono lnnlnH was about his slzo yesterday. Then Turner went Into the box , and thu Minnie's luck changed nnd got worro. Long , lank , cadaverous Mr. Jantxcn did the catching. Willis and Naglo wcrn In the points for Omaha nnd their labors were superb. The llrst Inning opened up In an enthusi astic manner , and the multitude was fairly tickled to death. The French count from Amsterdam , known as Hcrr Strauss , by u little judicious waiting , was presented with his base by Mr. Morrl- Bon. Tlion the ox-prcslilent smashed the ball out Into the loft garden for a single , the count/oachmg third. Jack Crooks wan In an cmulntory mood and so ho Just smacked her for a bag himself , sending Strauss across the plato and UufTalo to third. Crooks stole second , skating In to the bag on his shirt front , Morrison wus mad , and ho 11 red nway at Coouoy at random , catching htm In the calf of the leg. Of course ho went to first , and the bags were all occupied. Sir Joseph Walsh now stepped ut ) to tlio lubber , and as the slanting sunshine glinted among his warm tresses , ho looked like the statue of Stern Hcsolve. Morrison secured the ball In his sinuous fingers , bent his body nnd let her go. It cunio like n rlllo ball and would probably have gene clear through the grand stand hud not it been for ono thing That was Walsh's "club. The sphere collided with it with a sound not unlike that mndo by blowing up a pcuuut sack nnd sitting down on it with great sud denness. If went hissing out into Mlnno- han's territory , and both Cleveland and Crooks ran homo , while little Cootioy scam pered clear round to third. Walsh Immedi ately dashed awny for second , and In his eagerness to nip the young man In the full Hush of his amhltlaa Minneapolis' elongated backstop threw the ball way over Honglo's head , and the tropical-haired boy waltzed on to third while Cuonoy crooscd the pluto. The yells of the excited audience wcro long , loud nnd aggravating. It was such pretty slcht to sco the Onnihus gallivanting around the bases. The next moment Walsh nudcd his tally to the total score on a wild pitch by Morrison , which wus also a missed thitd strike , Nuglo being at the bat. It wus tough on Morton's crowd , but the audience howled with Uondlsh delight all the samo. Caiiavan , Messltt and Willis went out and the fun lulled for a few moments. MIckey Morrison had an olognnt suf ficiency , and ho changed places with Tur ner , In middle field. The people sympu- 'tuizcd with him , but they were too happy to dbsorvo a'rcspcctftil sllonco. Willis signalled his hppearanco by strik ing out the two lirst Minnies at the bat In u llffy. No ono knows what njiffy is , but that is what a sweet-faced girl said , who sat right behind the scorer's box , ull through the game. Turner and Daly wont back to the bench in disgust , while tiie people cried , "oh 1 oh 1 ohl" That was prottv work. "Cigar Sign" West took first on four bau balls. Thut wasn't quite so pretty. -Ucddy Hnnrnhan , however , flow out to Crooks , nnd so no harm was done. In the second the Parisian secured first on a wild throw by Tumor , who luut taken Mlko's plnco in the box. Ho wont to second on Cleveland's second safe hit , stole third , and then actually stolu homo. The wnv the audience greeted this exploit made the Minncsotans sick. Old Buffalo timblod clear round to third on Crooks' out from Turner to West , and scored on Coonny'o drive to right. The latter - tor got to second on n passed ball , third on Walsh's lilt , but wus onught nt the plato as ho endeavored to score on Walsh's steal of second. Heuclo made n great throw , and was deservedly applauded. Naglo struck out. out.But But seven runs In the llrst two innings was plenty. In their half , the visitors got the first of their two runs. Coouoy made an inexcus able muff of Farmer Miller's long high Hv , nnd Honglo sent him homo on a lucky two- Backer. Turner was sei/ed with a generous streak Jn the third , nnd ho mndo botli Canavan and Mossitt n present of Urst on eight wretchedly bud balls. They stele second In conccrtaifd a moment later Willis drove them both homo by u rat- tlinc drive to loft. Right hero the trenchant air was again sot 8-nulvor with chin music. Strauss went out nt first , but President Cleveland reached first on Daly's muff of his fly , but Crooks nhd Willis were doubled up , nnd the Omuhus had to bo content with u pair of tallies. The Minnies were Chlcagocd , Turner and west striking out , and ilanrahan dying nt llrst. Daly , howuver. hud reached Urst on balls. Hut why continue this monotonous storvi. Won't it sufllcn to know that the White Legs , on two hits , two errors nnd n b.iso on bafis , scored three time * more m the fourth ; once In tbo fifth on n hit and a couple of sacri fices , nnd live times In the sixth , on Mes- silt's throo-basjgor , Willis , single , Cleve land's base by being hit , Crooks' three- bagger nnd Cooney's base on balls ; once in ft * the seventh on u couple of singles and a couple of steals , nnd onca In Ihu ninth on Canavan's magnificent crack over the left Held fence for u homo run. The Minnies wore blanked with dreary monotony up to the eighth , when on on error , a lovely two-sackor and a single they managed to squeeze la ono more attenuated little run. The third game will bo played this after noon. , . Hero aio the official utatl&Ucs of yestur- du.v'u catastrophe : OMAHA. Total. . 41) ) 20 IS 5 27 21 11 MINNKAl'OUS , SUMMAHT. Etraed ruu Oamha9.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Where the llcoVtis Born , nnd Where tlio youths or Mnny Ycara Ago Assembled to Develop An Early Sanctuary. The orootton of the proposed Com mercial National bank on the corner of Sixteenth nnd Fiirnmn struqta has resulted - sultod in the demolition of the old Rcdlck rookery ami the "first Congre gational church orcotod In this city. The last brick of the latter has hardly boon rotnovod from its place , but the little structure , with all its associations , will now Hvo but in the memories of these who love the past. Yesterday , there stood upon the curb an ugod lady , clad in mourning robes. Despite tlio clouds of dust from the disintegrated mortar and the danger from passing teams , she watched the work of demolition with an interest which was displayed in every feature. Oncn , when n section of the wall fell with u dull sound upon the debris , the lady's eyes flashed as if she considered the destruction an act of vandalism. She was alone in the world. It was that little church in which , as n girl , she had llrst worshipped in Omaha. It was in that little sanctuary that she had llrst scon the gentleman to whom she was afterwards married. It was within these walls the matrimo nial alliance was consummated.through the agency of u minister who has since been called beyond the tomb. There were her children baotizoa , and there , too , bereaved and hoart-brokon , she llrst appeared in widow's weeds. Burn ing tears arose in the old lady's eyesas , with tottering stops she loft the affect ing scene. But she had viewed for the last time the little house of prayer which was so intimately connected with everything she hold dear in life. The church was organized by the Rov. Reuben Gaylord , who.se widow and son survive him in this city. lie was a na tive of Nor/oik , Conn. , and u graduate of Ynlo college. Ho arrived hero in September , 18-55 , and on the following Christmas day was joined by his wife and daughter. Ho commenced to preach in the council chamber of the old terri torial house on the last of December. His services wore hold in the afternoon and his salary was $ GM ( ) per year. On the 4th of May of the following year Mr. Gaylord organized the First Con gregational society , the membership consistingof butninopooplecomprising , as the reverend gentleman mentions in some of his recollections , nine people , namely , Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Richard son , Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Chapman , James W. Seymour , a Mrs. Alien and the clergyman himself with his wifoand daughter. The year 1830 arrived before - fore stops wore taken to erect a church when T. G. Goodspood , E. Estabrook , still in Omaha , and Lorin Miller , de ceased , wore appointed as a committee on construction. In those days the population of the city did not exceed oOO. The site of the church had boon donated by the ferry company. In his notes , Mr. Gaylord says that the work of mnkinjr contracts and getting ma terial devolved upon him and that it was no easy task. "Tho saw mill on the bank of the river , owned by Mr. Salisbury , was continually besieged , and to got the timber as fast as it was needed , it was necessary to have a team ready to haul it away as fast as it was cut. The work .was done during illness in the clergyman's , except when his family physician , Dr. Miller volunteered to aid bun. While the church was in course of erection1 , services wore at intervals hold in the dining room of the Douglas house , on Harney street , near Thir teenth. On the 20th of October , 1850 , the structure had boon so far comoloted that the congregation was enabled to hold services in the basement. A Sun day school was organized , under the direction of Mr. KoTlom , and the mem bership of the association was increased by six worshippers. The building was completed in 1857 , the carpenter work being done by James E. Boyd and his brother John Boyd , the former of whom is too woll-known in this city to be further referred to. The painting was done by Mr. Robb and the trimming by Mr. McAusland. Completed , the building was but a little coun try church , with its sugar-loaf spire resting upon a white square base , such us may even now bo found in ten thousaurt cities and hamlets in the land. The dedicatory exorcises did not take place until the Oth of August , 1857 , when there was gathered a very largo audience to do honor to the occasion. In 185S and 1800 the church oujoyod successful revivals , the lust continuing for several weeks. Rov. Mr. Ciiiylord continued as pas tor until 1804 , when be retired to ac cept the agency in this state of the America Homo Missionary association , leaving the church with ninety-six members. The cost of the church was 81,600 , and was supplied by the proceeds of a fair , the llrst of the kind held in Nebraska. It took plaeo in the St. Charlod hotel , then on Harnoy street between Thirteenth and Twelfth streets. After many years of success ful labor , Rov. Mr. Gaylord died in Omaha , January 10,1880 , leaving the im press of his character upon .tho minds of many people now in this city who still fondly cherish recollections of the saintly divine , In this connection many of these curly wornhlppors will bo pleased to tcnow that , about the end of Juno , the widow and uou of Rev , Mr. Gaylord will publish a history of that gontle- IDIUI'H ' lifo , which will necessarily bo largely a history of Omaha during the period between 1855 and 1880. A brict p-irugraph in these columns , bnvoral days ago , told of the demolition of the house in which Tins DICK was born. The structure was of frame , was old and dry and although it wont down in the millet of u rain storm , the clouds of dust which filled the air rpmindod ono of the breezy days not lonif ago , when a y.ophyr could and did fill in the atmosphere witn dust so thick as to inulce it almost unboarablo- The house in question stood on "tho southeast corner of Dodge and Twnlfth streets , and was long known as the Rod- liohl house. Like many another ancient btructuro , it had a history which it } aptly told in a little Bomi-occasiunul Bliuat published last January by M. U. Rodliold. It had not pretensions. It was a plain frame bujldlng , of two storieswith rough sides and windows on every dido. Thousands of people in all the years it has stood the attacks of tlo ) elements liuvo passed little thinking of the part it has played in the enlighten ment of the people of this section of the country. On iiiU subject , the gentle man referred to , writes : "There clusters around the Redliold printing house , from which this jiupur emanates , nnough of newspaper hUiory to make a reepectablu volume.

AVIiloh Speak Volumes Kor the Onto City How Chicago Has Been Distuned ! In Percentage of Increase. Cm in ti For tha Croakers. OMAHA , Nob. , April 10 , 1889. To the Editor of Tun BUB : Since your publication of my estimates of our present - ont population nt 121,485 , parties have asked if I wasn't too high. It is un necessary to say these were residents of Omaha. It is a fashionable vice with some Omaha men to disparage their own city. It makes other men regard them ns oracles , especially eastern men who come hero to locate or invest. Be sides , their oracular utterances glvo Omaha a good reputation abroad. Something like this from a Chicago capitalist : "It is impossible to got money in Chicago to invest in Omaha. " "Havo soon a dozou capitalists in Chi cago. Not ono will Invest in Omaha. " Of course this is a repetition of the old contest between Now York an Chicago , when the latter was no larger than Omaha is now. Chicago wont around Now York and got till the capital she wanted in Now England nnd elsewhere. It is a hopeful Sign for Omaha. Bat if the work of these croakers is pleasing to the average citizen of Omaha , wo have a good deal more complacency than wo want. Bettor ship eomo of it to any place that needs It. There is a , 'silver lining to the cloud. " If Chicago cage refuses to invest her capital hero , others will not nbido by her example. Ono eastern capitalist visiting Omaha , witnessing our splendid growth and steady advance in wealth and popula tion , writes mo thus : "Hurrah for Omaha ! " "It IB to have 350,000 people in 1000. " The wonder is how this gentleman ovor'gotout of Omaha allvo , .If ho ut tered those sentiments ouunly without consent of the croaking guardians ( ? ) of the city. Perhaps they thought him insane and harmless. They might have boon asleep. Ho is , however , regarded as a very shrewd business man by his acquaintances. At any rate it was a dangerous experiment. In the meanwhile our real estate men are wondering why eastern capitalists do not jump over each other to buy Omaha property. Of course they will come in to buy and build when told by the so-called best citizens to keep out , especially when these citi/.ons are re garded by their fellow-citizens as oracles cles and apostles. If the real estate and business men of Omaha like this , and they appear to , by the deference shown these croakers , they are not to bo en vied , "Contentment with godliness is grout gain. " But to the purpose of this communica tion. Thinking I might have boon in error I looked into the matter , and found the estimate of the presidential vote also gave the city an average of 120,000 pooulo , hence that based on the school census is conservative. In 1800 Chicago had about 100,000 people. This was all in ono solid city. Count Council Bluffs , Omaha , South Omaha and Albright as one city and wo have something like this , in round numbers : . Council Bluffs 40.000 'Omaha ' 120,000 South Omaha : 12,000 Albright ? , OJO 174,000 This is 74,000 greater than the popu lation of Chicago in 1800. Looking over the United States cen sus of 1880 , and other authorities , the population of &evoral cities will range thus : ISfX ) 1S70 1SSO 1SSO Chicago 100,000 293,977 503,183 850,000 Omaha llOSa , 30,518 121.158 Couacll bluffs 10,020 18,003 4JOUO South Omaha ia , ( > CO Albright 2,0iO- ( As I sot tho. percentage of increase in Omaha lor the next eleven years at 200 per cent , it will bo soon that of Chicago for ton years ( from 1800 to 1870) ) , was nearly 109 per cent , or 219 per cent for plovon years. At the Chicago rate of increase for the ten years in question , the four cities below would run go as follows by A. D. , 1900 , viz : Council Blurts , 120,000 Omaha ( one solid ) . .802,000 South Omaha..i city by V. . iid.OOO Albright { that time j . . 0.000 401,000 Total 521,000 This is 20,000 greater than the popu lation of Chicago in 1880. With the exception of Lake Michi gan , which wus of little or no use until tbo completion of the railroads , 'tho natural resources of Omaha are greater than those of Chlc.vgo. \Vithnocompotitorofanyconsequonco north of Kansas City , or east of San Francisco , with 2,000 miles of tributary country scarcely touched , and abound ing in minerals , the precious nictale , chemicals , coal , petroleum , agriculture , and live stool : on the vast ranges and farms , with railroads radiating in every direction by that time , I can see no good reason why the population of Omaha should not incroabo as rapidly by 1000 as that of Chicago between 1805 and 1870 , when that great city got its wonderful start. To uhow that Omaha is now increas ing more rapidly , in proportion , than Chicago was then , hero are the percen tages of Incroabo for the two cities. 1'er Ot. Chicago , from 1SCO to 1870 10U Omaha , from 18SU to 1600 ! )3l ) For the following the percentage of increase will raugo about as follow ? : PerCt. Chicago , from 18SO to 1690 70 Council liluffa , : < rom I860 to 1800 145 Omaha , from 16SO to Ib'.K ) 3:11 : With South Omaha nnij Albright united to Omaha , by 1890 , our percentage of increase in the tun youn * now dosing , will bo HB1 nor cent. This is what has happened , with the exception of ono year to cotno. It is an accomplished fact to all intent and purposes. Still there are men hero , ulironiu croakers , who are cherished us valued , honored and respected citizens. With her prodigious growth since 1880 , such has been the rapid increase of the state , Omaha has boon physically un able to maintain her quota of one-tenth of the population of Nebraska. Kvory energy has been taxed to the utmost. Millions upon millions have boon in vested , and the gigantic work is still progroBfaing. 15. V. TJCST.
