2 OMAHA DAILY BEff ; TUESDAY , APKIIi 23 , 1889. THREE GAMES IN A ROW , Omaha Wins the Third Straight Vic tory From Minneapolis. AND HAS YET TO MEET DEFEAT. Vcstordny'fl Content n Very Pretty Ono nnd Not All One-Sided Otlior Hrcorcln Muro 11 YcBlordny's Onino. Omaha nnd Minneapolis mot at the local park yesterday afternoon nndplayod the last game of tholr ilrst series in tho'presence of nbout ono thousand spectators. And once more Omaha won. The victory was duo to ono thing , nnd that was to the Omaha players' superior hitting ability. They found Vintor.'s curves from the ntnrt , and kept up a constant fusllado throughout the entire struggle. Strauss opened up by Hying out from the rubescont Hnnralmn to I'earso. Then Mr. Vlnton unlinked his long form nnd tried to knock the ox-president's ' brains out by nmaxhing him In the cerebellum with the Everybody hollored"Ouch I" but Cleveland wasn't hurt so bad but what ho reached flrst nil right. "Now I'll send you in for tlmt , " sang Mr. Urooks. ns he spat upon his delluato paws nnd took his position at the plato. And ho camu within nn aea of fulfilling his words , for the first ball pitched hoeaught full on the pruboscts and sent whizzing way out In deep center for u couple of bags , Clnvoland , of course , reaching third. The next man to face the box was Cooncy , HO'H little , but oh myl Yinton gave him n good ball , but Instead of smashing It , ho only Jabbed n largo hole in the circumambient utmosphoru. The Minnesota twirler grinned at him sardonically. That made Coonoy mad , and the next ball Yinton cut loose , the llttlo man with the big bat caught it just right , inul it wont sailing way nut against the right Held fence for thrco bases. Cleveland nnd Crooks walked homo to gether , arm in arm. Then thu people in the grand stand opened their faces in ono long , prodigious howl. Walsh was the next batter up. Ho hit the ball savagely on a line for Heiiglo , and Honglo gathered It In with neatness and dispatch , Uut ho didn't stop hero , hut whirling with the oulckncss of thought as Victor llugo has it ho hurled the globu- latcd pigskin to old .loo Miller , and caught Mr. Coonoy olThU base , thereby effecting a , very recherche double play. Two runs In , und the people said the same lold puddln' . In their half the visitors , notwithstanding 'that they touched Daddy Clarlto up for two nice singles , failed to got n man aeross the plato. The second was unproductive for cither sldo , but in the tnird there was some pretty work. Coonoy succeeded In reaching first on an exquisite bunt , nnd then after the Gallic count had struck out. President Cleveland again nitpeared within the uronn. There were symptoms of lifo's fluid trickling about In his usual dnvo-llko Visual organs , and everyone felt that ho was nbout to call Mr. Yinton down for smashing in his occiput in the previous ) Inning. The pitcher was evidently inclined to the same belief , and ho bout his lissome form for u mighty effort. Old Huffalo. however , was watching him , and he lifted his tree menacingly. Whiz ! came the sphere ! Then there was a ringing crack like the report of a shotgun , and a thin , bluish streak was descried glancing athwart the emerald field over Daly's head , and before the batter I could make up his mind that it was the ball , Elmer landed , pullliiK like a | > orpoisu , on third , while Coonoy scooted homo. Crooks was quickly on hand , and , sans ceremony , lined out a beauty to right and the President walked In , tapped the plato with his too and went and s.it Uown. Of course , this was all very uxhlllratlng , and BO mo pcoplo cheered so much that they got very hoarso. That uiiulo four runs. For tlio Minnies , Turner wascasily'thrown oueivt first , but Daly got u nlco ono and hit It for a couple of sacks. 13lg AVest struck 1.4- out , but Hanrahan corked out a flno ttiree- bagger and sent Daly homo with an earned run. In the fourth every blessed ono of the white logs got a crack nt Yiuton , and on three bases on balls , u thrco-bagger each by Coonoy and Mossltt and a two-bagger by Daddy Clarke , Nagle nnd Messitt , Clarke , StraUbs anil Crooks crossed the plate. SJTho runs were now piling up like a Hima layan peak , and the ono thousand spectators wont wild with Joy. In their half , Captain Hcnglo hit out a savage two-sackor , wont to third on a wide pitch , and scored on Pcarse'a out. Aud that was all the Minaio-j could do , and nobody cared a continental. But thcro was no stonping the Omahogs. for they eamo right back as chipper ami sassy as over , and on hits by Nuglo and Strauss , a missed third strike and an error by Daly , added two nioro tallies to their sroro , For the Minnies Tumor opened up by hitting safe. Daly drove him homo on a three-bagger , then \Vost was speedily dlspo ed of , and then Daly crossed the plato on u wild pitch. Hnnralmn was given a life by Walsh's error , but was shortly after doubled up nicely with Miller , by n skillfully handled ball by Clarke , Crooks mid MesslU. Omaha was Chfcagoed In the sixth. That was sad. Then tho. Minnies secured another run. Cjimvau muffed Poarso's nigh lly , ho was forced to second by Dugdnlo'u base on balls , nnd scored on 'rumor's hit. The seventh ylolued two singles and a double for Omaha , and yet they only suc ceeded in getting a single man home. The Mii.inio3 made one also. Tlmt was tit for tat. Omaha drew blanks In both the eighth nnd ninth , and it looked Just as if they did it on purpqso. Hunglo'a men , too , wont out without profit in the eighth , but in the ninth , on n ) mse.on balls and a two-bagg'or , they irot their sev enth and last rim. And so the fair dream faded.

These circumstances , coupled with the fact that County Commissioner O raves found a pair of overalls mid panta loon * about ono wcolc ago near the name place whore these papers were found yester day , has created the belief that the owner Is now burled beneath the waters of the Logan , Several of I'emlor's pcoplo searched the river yastordny afternoon for a couple of miles or so , but Uiu not succeed in llndnc | the body. Among ether letters were found several from a lady , who signed her nnmo "Margaret. Murgont.

How the Tnllos't Artificial Structure On thu Knrtli Iinokn To-day. The monstrous tower designed by En gineer EifTol for the Paris exposition lins three stories or divisions , snys the Vossloho Zoltuntr. The first story is sixty metres high ( n , motr.o is oqiml to thirty-nine inches ) nnd rusts on four arches which join the four foundation columns thiit carry upon them the entire - tire weight of the lingo tower. The tower lias four distinct sections. Each wing Is provided with a refresh ment saloon that may be reached by means of _ winding sUilro jis under the foundation nlurs. Notwithstanding the center of the space tins been set apart for the elevator there still remains4,200 square metres of lloor room for the ao- oommodation bf visitors who may dcslro to promenade and enjoy u view of the city from that height. The apartments are very roomy , and precautions hnvo been taken to insure ttio visitors against all possibility of ac cident. An Iron railing about four feet high , with an arched roof to exclude the in tense ravs of the sun , surrounds the ex treme edge of the platform , as it may be called , which 1ms boon reserved ns a promenade by these who desire to walk about. The requirements for the com fort of the inner man , too , have not been forgotten. Kitchens , storerooms , ice chests and the like have boon fitted up in the most handy manner imagin able , so there is little occasion to fear that the supply of "stimulating refresh ment will give out , even in the days when such lodgings In the hotels and private houses will not bo obtainable for loyo or money. Each ono of the four cafes is provided with a collar capable of storing 200 tons of wine. Everything about the structure is ab solutely fireproof , for iron is the only material that has been used in its con struction. Two thousand persons per hour can ascend and descend its stair cases loading to the platform , and 4,000 can find seats to rest upon In the cafes at ono time. , t The second story , which is sixty metres above the first ono , is nlso reached by four'Staircases built inside of the supporting columns , which make a , sharp inward hurve , leaving but 1,100 square metres of surface for the plat form and promoilado. Hero , too , in the commodious nnd-handsomoly decorated cafe the thirsty and tired sight-seer may ilnd something more potent than Seine water to recuperate his strength. This story is'tiinety-ono ' metres above the tip of the Notre Dame steeple and higher than tho.iowcr of the palace- Trocadoro , on tlio other side of the river , and , as mily easily be imagined , the view of thu surrounding country to be had from silclrun altitude is almost indescribable. From hero on the col umns of the lower fall in towards each ether until theyascend a distance of U75 metres above the ground , whore the third und last story is situated. Only ono staircase leads to the third story , which is for the exclusive use of the persons employed in the tower , und all visitors are expected to use the ele vators , two in number , to roach that point. The platform is eighteen metres square , still largo enough to erect thereon a comfortably sized dwelling. The view hero is simply superb. The story is equipped with rollecting mir rors and a largo supply of ( iold-glusbes for those who wish to uo thoin. It has boon intimated that the ordinary eye can discern objects seventy miles awa'y. The tower terminates in what 'is known as the lantern , twenty-live metres above the third section' , but this place has been set aside for the use of the scientists for making observa tions.

The venerable historianGcorgo Ban croft , owing to his declining mental' faculties , has desisted from all attempts at further literary work , says a Wash ington letter to the PittsbuVg' Commer cial. During the past few years ho hns had in contemplation tho'writing of a history of the Polk administration , of which ho was the flr t secretary of the nayy and subsequently filled with great honor to himself and the ijrosidont the post of minister to Great Britain. The researches necessary to a proton tation of the acts'of that administration had boon complated and all the materials were in his hands , but the mental change soon gave force to the fact that he must regard his literary life at an end. Conversing with his friends ho admits that ho had not the will to lead to ambition or inter est in further literary enterprises' . It evident from the conversations of Mr. Bancroft that ho'has felt the approach of that weakening ! $ his mental facul ties for the past foSs'i years , and in view of this fact ho has given much of his to a careful rovisldniof all his publica tions of a pormanot historic character , and ha's' had all1 copyrights renewed , which will give U ) 'his declining days and subsequently his heirs the reward of literary labors fprsomo , years to come. The case of Mr. Bancroft seems to bo a very peculiar ono. ifcTho suHponsion of Ills mental fneulties > are not por'manont.

Men and women , young boys and girls jostle nnd elbow each ether in a Uosiro to got near the windows In order to bo among the first to receive attention from the clerks when the apertures shall bo opened. Chivalry is unknown to this crowd and the weaker , including the women , soon Und themselves in the rear. As early us 11 o'clock many persons nro already gathered In the lobby , wait ing stolidly for tlioDwindows to to opened. Loaning lazily against the walls meanwhile , or else amusing themselves solves by gazing through the window at the passers by. The crowd swell and grows until , at noon , it number two or throe hundred people. The windows are finally opened with a bane , and immediately there is a crush from the rear , and these nearest the -windows fool themselves jammed against the partitions. Two young ladies stand behind the delivery waitIng - Ing to servo the motley crowd. They try their best to look pleasant , but their success is only partial. This hour , at noon , is a perpetual bugbear to them , looked forward to during alt the week witli dread. A ma jority of these who await their turn before the windows are not much given to courtesy , ana if the de sired and long-expected letter is not forthcoming , they are very liable to un- bottlc the vials of their wrath and pour the contents upon the devoted heads of the clerks. Out of curiosity , a reporter walked down to the postolllce last Sunday at noon and took a position near the windows dews , whore ho could see and hear what transpired and still escape the jostling of the crowd of impatient pee ple. Finding it a physical impossibility to watch both windows , ho devoted his attention entirely to the ono nearest him. DTho first person to demand the atten tion of the clerk was a buxom Irish matron , whoso two hundred pounds o polid avoirdupois had been solidly jVntod directly in front of the window a half hour or more before , nnd had proven as unassailable as the rocks of Gibraltar and successfully resisted the efforts of the crowd to send their possessor to a less advantageous position. " "An'shuro , I would loiko to know U ye have ony lotthors hero for Misthross Mary McCarthy , " said she. Tlio clerk turned , soix.od a package of letters , and ran hastily over them. "None to-day"sho said , as she placed the package back in its proper place. A look of disappointment passed over the homely , honest face of the woman , as she slowly turned and elbowed hoi- way through the crowd. Tlio reporter could not but watch her as she passed through the door and into the street , and conjecture as to whom the longed- for letter was exported to come from. Ono of "tho childer , " perhaps , left behind upon the ' 'ould son , " or , per chance , an aged mother or father across the seas on the dear isle. While these tohughts were Hit ting through the mind of the | news man , hovcrai poisons had put the momentous question to the clerk and either received letters or the dis heartening shako of the head. When ho again directed his attention to the window a specimen of the genus bum was leering through the aperture at the young lady as she ran over the letters. Tlio man was actually filthy. Croat streams of tobacco juice orna mented his chin and shirt front , and lie had about him tlio odor peculiar alone to the police station. The reporter did not catch his name , but it is s nfo to say that it was but one of many under whicti the follow had been known at different times. There wcro no letters for him , but there was no disappointment writ ten upon his face when ho was told so. That ho exported mail is doubtful , b'ut men of his cla s have a penchant for calling for letters several times' a day. in tlio hopes perhaps that one might come and some unexpected piece of good luck bo disclosed , from someone , from somewhere. lie was followed by three or four ordinary looking persons , without nny distinct characteristics , und then there presented itself before the window one of these gaudily dressed , brazen-faced won/on , whose calling is only too appar ent. She eallcd n number of differ ent names , not all of which the reporter could catch , but they evidently had boon taken by the owner or owners from some cheap novel and adopted without ooromony. She was followed by a dandified ne gro. His low cut vest revealed some thing less than a yard of glistening shirt front. "Hnsyoh nny communications heah for Mister Chnwlos' Mon'gomoryV" ho inquired , as ho stroked his salmon col ored kids. Mr. Montgomery received a Icttur ad dressed in red ink and with many llourisho.s , Ho retired to ono corner to poru'iO ' its contents and was still there when the windows closed n half hour later , deeply cncnifeecd epclling out the contents of his "communication. " And then came two or three nonde script characters that shufllcd dtblidly up to the window , gave their mimes , but received only a nhako of the head. Tlio next seeker after mail was a fussy , pompous individual , who looked like a Cheap John drummer. JIo gave his name and watched the girl snow- Inglynssho ran through Uie-paoknge. The young huly evifTCnlly know the character of" tlio follow. "None ' , " she said"laconically , when &ho hud' lanfed at the last loiter of the bundle. "None ! I know better than that. Lot- tore were bent mo here a week ago and arc hero now , and I Intend to hnvo them. " "Thero Is no mull for yon hero1 rcltj orated the young ludy , looking thu straight In the eye. She was ovldontlv crowing angry. Her eyes Hashed nnd her lips twitched , nnd it was evidently only by n , supreme effort that she con trolled her temper. "There Is no mall for you , " she continued , and , consequently quently , you'll got nono. " "I know hotter ; there is mall In there for mo"shouted the unreasonable brute. "You'ro too smart , any " HangI wont the window , shut in the fellow's face , nnd as several minutes passed by and the young lady showed no intention of opening it again , the man finally gave way to others and departed - parted , vowing vengeance on the clerk , the postmaster , the postmnstor-goneral and the general government. When ho had loft the window was reopened - opened and business resumed. Men , women and children of the most varied types passing up to the windows , paus ing n minute and tlion going awnv , cither empty-handed or with a longed- for missive clutched closely to the broast. There is a strain of sentiment running through it all. An imagina tive man couldn't stand before these windows for an hour on Sunday without witnessing and hearing that which will make him more thoughtful nnd his heart more sad. A few typos of these who call for mail hnvo been given , but only a few a very fow. There nro many others that might bo written of. A sad-eyed woman , deserted perhaps by the one who hud promised long ago in the morning of lifo to love and cherish , comt's there , hoping , trusting that it is all "ii mistake ; that no has been swept away by uncontrollable circumstances , and watching , patiently waiting for the letter that is to toll her that this is so. A grey-haired mother totters up to the window. There is a son out in the world somewhere , and with what fever ish anxiety does she watch thu dbt ( lin gers of the clerk as they My through the package , and what ioy It will bring her on this qniot Sunday morning if there is but a few lines there from him. And still there nrothors. . An erring daughter , longing for a letter from homo , forgiving all and calling her back , and a prolligato son hoping that "tho old man 1ms sent him borne stuff , " nnd so on down through the whole category of characters that go to make up that great portion of the earth's population that stand on a plane a few steps lowcs down tlio grade of society than "ur aristocrats of the upper classes. " Sentiment'1 ; Yes , thcro is a strain of sentiment running through it all. Fragments of lives tire thrown carelessly together in a kaleidoscopic mass at these windows , chapters from volumes only. And so the hour is consumed. The crowd dwindles , and when the windows close they have all been borvod and have departed , but there still linger about the place the odors of tobacco and vile wliisKy , and the lloor is covered witli tobacco juice. One can sympnthizo with the lady clerks as they turn from the window with a sigh of relief. A most dreaded task has been done. There are throe of those general de livery clerks in the ollice , and they are Miss Lena Nlsson , Mrs. May Preston and Miss Emma Krutli. Thoir's is work that would try tlio best , of tem pers , but it is seldom indeed that tlie.se young ladies become impatient. Asa rule they nro sunsliino Itself as they stand back of these windows through which daily pass stories of joy , sorrow , death , disiibtor and crime. r.ost a J.cg.
