; THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY. MAY 27. isso. THE GRAND STAND HOWLED , Sut the Outburat Was Duo to Any thing But Joy , 'DADDY CLARKE WENT TO PIECES. * Whnt nt First Looked lilko a Certain Victory la Turned Into a DIs- Rusting Defeat In the Inning. Denver 7 , Onmlia O. \Voll , wore you there ycstcrdayl .Not Wall , tbon , you wore spared much humiliation and a good deal of ) > nln. What looked like a dead certain victory was turned , In the twinkling of on oyc , Into n most disputing defeat. And , oh , donr mo , what a sere crowd that was that filed sadly and demurely from the park about halt-past 5. Just think of thirty-live hundred sere pco- 1 > 1 o In a pilot The npcctaclo wns agonizing. The day was lovely one for ball playing , With sombro clouds hiding the blue ainpy- roan , and shutting off the sultry ruya of the sun and rendering every thing just right for a brilliant struggle. And It was n grand struggle , fairly reful gent with wondrous features , up to the clghtn inning , when the tide of woo began to swell , and before It could bu checked had not only engulfed the whole Omaha team , but the great throng of spectators besides. But It Is a disagreeable task on hand , and let's hurry and got rid of it , Mossltt opened up with an out to McQuaid , nnd Cleveland was thrown out by Klusman nt first The same gentleman followed up this nlco play by a bad fumble , which gave Btrauss his baso. Crooks ( truck out , how- ? < ; r , and ho wan loft , The Mountaineers went out In succession. Then everybody settled himself for a closoand Interesting game. In the second , Coonoy sent a long high flv to old Dal , the hero of many a gory conflict In the years gene by , and Joined bis com rades on the bench. Walsh bad his "good oyo" with him and took a bag on four wldcs by Mr. Kirby , only to bo doubled tip , though , with Naglo , who hit a curve to McQuuld , who also throw Walsh out at second. Mcssltt's muff let McQun14 reach first In Denver's half. A moment subsequent Dad Wmdo n wild pitch nnd ho made second. iMcVey then retired on n scorching grounder to Scrappy Jaclc , and Mao dared not leave second. Klusman bit a vicious onoto Walsh , who scooped it in clean , and to the wild delight - light of everybody , throw McQuaid out at the plate. It was a nlca play and was greeted by a roar of applause. Do Ian struck out. It looked exceedingly like a score for Omaha in the third , but alas t she gotethjt noteth. Canavan began with a single and stole sec ond. Paddy Clarke also corked out ono. Than , after tbo ball had been returned , Dolan throw down to second and caught Canavan off his base , and with the assist- unco of McVey , ho was run down. Mcssitt struck out , but Graver followed with a hit and Clarke gained third. Jiiltcy J3trauss'flow out to big Dave Rowe , and our chances all wout glimmering. Tbo grand stand sighed , and you ought to hear a grand stand sigh. It sounds some thing Ilka the wall of a lost soul. , Itwas ono , two , three for Denver , so again everything was all O. K. The next was a triumphant inning for Omaha , And how the bappy people did make the Sabbath air quaver with tboir glad shouts. Captain Crooks incited the poans of victory by a rattling drive to right for two cushions. A passed ball allowed him to reach third. Coonoy wan presented with a base by the er ratic Mr. Kirby , and on McQuaid's muff of Walsh's bit Crooks ran homo and so did Coonoy , too. Naglo laced out a single and Walsh scored. Canavan then struck out and Clarke forced Naglo at second. But wo made three runs , ana Omaha stock wont up at a lump. The Dcnvors invested another dollar and drew another blank. For Omaha the .fifth begun by the ox-prcs- .Jdent reaching v , flrst ont four bad bolls. Strauss made a beautiful bunt and both men wore safe. Everybody smelt some moro runs , but 'that's all , .they smelt them , because Crooks , Copnoy and Welsh were ignomimously quolchod. The Mountaineers bold another losing ticket. la the sixth Naglo took first ' on bolls , only to bo forced at second by Can avan. The latter stole second , but got no further , Clarke ynt Messitt being put out. The Donvers aid not faro oven this well they never saw first. The next inning wan another triumph for the locals. f Cleveland utarted the music with a torriflo flrlvo for three bases. A passed ball hit him across tbo pinto. Strauss wont to first on balls , stole second and third cleverly. Crooks went out from bbort to first and Coonoy on a fly to Dalrymple. McQuaid then nmdu an other muff of Walsh's hitand , Strauss scored , and Walsh reached third. Ho came homo a moment later on Naglo's bit , and then Naglo was put out stealing second , and the score Stood : Omaha C , Denver 0. For the Mountaineers , both McClelland find Rowe reached their base on errors by Walsh , but McClelland was caught off his base by a foxy throw by Mossitt to Walsh , nnd retired. The next two men wont out nnd still the score remained the same. It was ono , two , three for the first time for Omaha in the eighth. But not BO with Rowo's brawny myrml- Sons. They came in , and with a suddennoss-ness- pcss that all but paralyzed the whole city , they llt'onto MR Clartto uud hit him in the neck , tbe wocn tlio eyes , on the nose , up and down Ills ribs , nnd across the back , never stopping until no less than flvo of the blue jcrsoyed friends had crossed the rubber. Just stop and think of it a moment , and 'you may possibly roaliza how all this slug ging acted upon the sensitive nerves of the spectators. Up to this Juncture not a hit had been muio pft Clarke , and then , In a single inning , tbev pwoop down on him for no less than a half dozen , clean , thoroughly laundriod bits , and came within a single run of tying the game. It was Just simply horrifying. However , It might never Dave happened Jiadn't Joe Strauss sort o' rattled Daddy by n very bum muff of a bit by the second man 'btthobnt. A deep hush fell over the crowd ut the Omahas came in for tliolr last whack. Uut It did them no good. All tbo ambi tion had boon incontinently knocked out of them , although the ever hard-working Crooks did line out u two aackor , only to be extinguished trying to make third on it. Them U no usu dwelling on the legend loutror. Denver came right In like a yearling at a ( county fair , and without even sa much as Buying "How do you do , Mr. Clarke , " they oppod right upon his back again , and with four straight safe smashes , sent la the tying * nd the winning runs.

DNS MOINKS , la. , May 20. [ Special to Tun BBH.J During the session of tbo last gen eral assembly , a committee appointed by a convention of the blind people of the state , appeared before it. They asked for an ap propriation and the necessary legislation to provide for the establishment somewhere in the state of an industrial homo for the adult blind. Their request was backed by peti tions from many of the blind people of the state , as wall as from others. The legislature passed an act creating a commission for this purpose , and last March Governor Larraboo appointed as the commission , Hon. L. A. Rilcy , of Louisa county , Colonel D. M. Fox , of Dos Mollies , and Miss Lorana Mattico , of Benton county. The commissioners were to Investigate and prepare a report to bo laid before the next general assembly , with such recommendations as should scorn best. In pursuance of their instructions , they visited a number of the loading Bclioois and working homos for the blind in the oust , and they IIAVO reached a conclusion that the state should establish an industrial homo for the adult blind of Iowa. Tbcro are between l.SJCO and 2,000 blind people In this state , SO per cent ot whom are adults. It is intended that this industrial homo will afford constant employment to such as desire it , und thus enable them to bo self-supporting. They find It hard word under present conditions to compete with these who can sco and thus earn a living. It is suggested that they could work at broom-making , mattross-mak- inir , carpet weaving , cano seating of chairs , and-unholstenng. Tito commission is still engaged la gathering Information on the subject , and will embody the results of their Investigation in a ronort'which will bo laid before the next general assembly. An , Interesting Decision. DCS MOINES , la. , May 30. [ Special to TUB BEB.I The supreme court has decided a rather novel but interesting case affecting the right to bridge navigable waters.

The supreme court sustains the , injunction and says that the state owns the bottom of the hikes and that no county has a right to lav out n high way ever thoui , and then order a bridge to bo built in order to utilize this highway. The arm of the lalfli i question is only u few rods wide , but the court holds that the state has never relinquished its right to the land at the bottom of the water , and therefore no county can brldtro it. This nettles a point which may bo of interest In many parts of the state whore rigrlgtfblo streams or bodies of water are found ; . " foundf& * BOOTLEQJjiERS IN IOWA.

Mr. Wright de manded that the collector before issuing the license correspond with abnnkor or some other reputable man In the town in which It is proposed to do bustnosi nnd Inquire whether the name sought to bo placed on the license Is the real ono of the applicant and to rcfuso a 11- cense in all cases whore the contrary ap pears , and nlbo Itooplila booits open , so that nny ono applying nt the collector's olHco may examine the record and as certain who has been licensed to sell liquor. Collector Webster , In his reply says : "Of the 1,500 licenses Issued from this olllco but GO boar mythical names. It is not within the power of the collector to withhold a Hconso from any ono who meets the requirements of the law , and the applicant is ontltlod to whatever name ho wishes placed on the license , provided his rent name is stated in the application. It is not compulsory on the part of the collector to expose his list of applications , nor docs the good of the service dictate that ho shall. The violation of the state law Is not his concern - corn , for it is not an otTonso against the laws ho is sworn to enforce. On the other hand , the ex posure of the list would Injure the ser vice by subjecting these whoso names appear on it to prosecution under the state law , and by thus inducing them In the future to add violation of the federal - oral law requiring that they procure licenses to sin against the state law. The olToct would bo to diminish the re ceipts of the revenue department' from licenses nnd to increase the expense for the detection and prosecution of crimo. "Tho Iowa prohibitory law , " con tinues the collector , has already had this effect. The sixty licenses bearing mythical names were issued to dcalors in the counties of this district , In which the most viuorons efforts have boon made to enforce the prohibitory law. These efforts have boon costly , not to the people of the state alone , but have resulted in great expense to this de partment by requiring us to detect and punish persons unlawfully engaged in the liquor business therein. From your county ( Mr. Wright's ) wo have taken into court nine boot-leggors and con victed them of violation of law by carrying on the liquor business without having government license. BVom Governor's Larrabco's county ( Fayotto ) wo have convicted forty-nino. His county has cost us moro for criminal prosecution than any other in the stato. On the other- hand , Dubuque county , which yielded us more revenue than any other , has cost us little. Wo have had but three criminal coses from Dubuque buquo county , and none were for boot- logging. "From these facts , " continues Mr. Webster , "it may be inferred that Governor Larrabco made a mistake when ho stated to a Nebraska audience that prohibition wasinforcodin oighty- flvo of the ninety-nine counties of Iowa. On the contrary there is not a county in this district , nor a town of 300 inhab- tants or ever , for which retail liquor dealers' licenses have not been issued , when taken together with the number of bootleggers convicted , indicates an increase in the number of dealers as compared with the number in existence before the prohibitory law took effect. * MOTHERS ASCHAPERONES. Not So Watchful as They Should bo in Giddy Paris. At homo'we hear a good deal about the Pilgrim Fathers , but you just ought to como to Paris to learn all about the Pilgrim Mothers , says a correspondent of the St. Louis Re"publfc. Wherever you are , in a hotel , a pension or in the house of ono of the numerous American residents on the Champs Elysoe , you are confronted with the mother who has ono or two daughters over hero to finish their education , while the father an unknown quantity remains in America to earn the wherewithal to render such a visit possible. The daughters are hero to learn the lan guages and music and the mother sits about like an ogre to see that they do ni/t learn any less intellectual arts. These girls are prey for men wherever they are discovered. I know of ouo salon where at least tan girls can bo found each night with no protector be yond , the ample mamma who sits to ono Bide with the hostess while- the girls go dancing about with n young clerk of the foreign legations or lieutenant of the army , or perhaps , a real llvo minister of ono of the powers. I stumbled on a scene last night at an American lady's house which was es pecially instructive. I had wandered out to the conservatory , at the rear of the house , to smoke a cigarette. The violins were playing a sweet waltz in the drawing-room , and , as I crossed a sort of courtyard leading to the con servatory , a couple danced by me , leav ing behind them the sound of happy laughter and the fragrance of vlolots. I wont on my way , and sat down on a wicker chair beneath an azalea bush. From the other bide of the bush I hoard voices. At first I could not understand what was being said , so I felt on titled to linger. But soon the man's volco became - came moro distinct , and I assure * you that the speech of Claude Mtil- notto , word for word that ono in which the picture of the palace on the Lake of Como is drawn , with the alabaster lamps , and the sweet songs of birds forever syllabling her name was uttered in mellow accents. The speaker was an Italian , expressing himself in English. After ho had finished , I hoard a girl's volco say : "Oh , Count , it Bounds just like a play. That is a beautiful speech. " "Your " the "would eyes , was reply , inspire poetry in oven a duller man than I. " And then I hoard n kiss , and then a deep sigh. I moved away. Five minutes later u well-known Italian .count , a roue and gambler of the hardest description , came out of the conservatory into the ball-room , with a young Now York girl , the daughter of one of the Pil grim . 'Mothers , loaning on his arm. Her cheeks were flushed , and the count lookedttriumphant. Two centuries ago I would have boon bound to muko a quarrel with the Italian , nnd kill him or myself be killed. Hut this is centennial year , nnd these Pilgrim Mothers pretend to know much moro than I do. A Revolutionary Wreck , In oxcavatlng to deepen a crook which is to bo used us a timber basin for H. P.

The land in this vicinity was reclaimed from the river , and there is a tradition that it was at or near this * point that the British , during the siege of Savannah in 1770 by the ariulos under General D'Kstning and Lincoln , sunk vessels across the river to prevent the French ana American war vessels , which had passed around the western nnd of Ilutchlnson's island , from dnflladlng the defenses of the town , It is not im probable that the old wreck which is now brought to light , if not ono of these sunk ut that time , has not boon afloat during this century. MINING AT COLORADO SPRINGS Reducing the Produotlon of Motala to a Solonco. WORKING INTO THE MILLIONS. Silver In the I/on a , ntitl Oolil n Good Socoiid--Ilow the Mines Arc Dovolopotl Hellos of Former Dnyn. The Grant Output of Oreo. IDAHO Sl'iimcis , Colo. , May 22. [ Special to TUB UKIJ. ] There la more interest taken in scientific mining ninoiiff these mountains thtin at nny previous date. Anil these who are oporatlnjj- mines state that mining moro than ever has boon reduced to a system' BO accurate that , as a business , it is no moro uncertain in its results than any other pursuit understandingly followed. The output of ores is greater than over before , and the results moro satisfac tory , owing as well to the improve ments in mining machinery , and the erection of necessary mills and other works , us to the acquired skill in find ing and handling ores. In support of the nbovo assertions , Homo facts and figures at hand shall bo used to substantiate them. From 1805 to 1809 the total products of the mines of Clear' Crook county amounted to 8182,823. In 1874 , the mining excite ment having been intensified , the out put aggregated $2,203,047 , and the number on gaged exceeded that of any former years. In 1880 the products summed up 82,1)04,728. ) The population had Increased to abe ut 7,000 , and the number of minors to 2,650 , the largest number ever engaged up to that timn. and moro than have "been any year since. After that date , and till 18S5 , there was a shrinkage in the value of the output. In the last-named year the rninoj of the county ( and I speak of this county only ) , yielded about $3,000,000 , though there wore not as many miners employed as in 1880. The mining industry is better organ ized and has-moro confidence in the cer tainty of a btoady business than at nny period since the discovery of gold at Pike's Peak ; and , though carried on nearly without excitement , is acquiring a deserved place among the industries of the states In the earlier years of the mining operations the implements wore rude and inexpensive. There wore no ma chines for hoisting ore from perpen dicular shafts , and whan prospectors found signs or indications thought to bo good , horizontal tunnels wore cut into the sides of the mountain so as that they might trundle their findings in a wheel barrow to the mouth of the opening. Afterwards , small cars propelled on n tramway superceded the one-wheeled barrow. Improvements and inventions have gene on apace , till steam power and approved implements have para lyzed the old methods. The time was when the ere and tbo rocks in which it was found wont to market together , making transporta tion so costly that many a good mine was vu'catod because it would not pay. Stamp mills , custom and sampling works as well as reduction and concentrating trating- mills in the mining region are now preparing the ores for shipment seas as that the minimum cost of transporta tion is reached. Each mine is recognized by its name , and dealers in ores are as familiar with/ both name and location as an Omnium is with the stations on the Union Pa cific railway , A heavy traffic is carried on in the precious metals. Buyers are hero in quest of it just as cattle and hog dealers frequent South Omaha. Silver predominates in quantity and value in most of the mines. Gold is next in value , and both are usually , if not always found in the same rocks. There is a great dissimilarity in the ap pearance in the rocks , however , taken from mines not very remote from each other , owing to the presence of iron , or copper , or lead. Thorp is a mine just above Graymont very rich in load said to be GO per centum of that composition. The company working it pays 60 per cent royalty to the owners and make money out of the transaction. Ores are found in the mountains only in fissure veins. There are no carbon ate deposits at Lcadvillo. The fissures are simply seams of variable widths be tween the walls of rock , many of which extend to a great dopth. In one mine near hero the Champion situated on the tip top of Bellevue mountain , the vein has been penetrated to the depth of 800 feet , ana the ere is borne in buckets one mile and a quarter to the mill at the base of the mountain. The trunsnortu- is olToctod by moans of a seven-eighth inch steel cable nbovo ground , sup ported on trussols. Some of the veins are nearly perpendicular ; others dip at different angles , all the way from eight to twenty degrees , and can bo traced east or west , frequently , several hun dred feet. In a ride from- Idaho Springs to the western tormmus of the Colorado Cen tral railway , iwenty-ono mites , not n few of abandoned mining works may bo seen. Relics of pioneer minors are in sight , such as log-cabin shanties , old fence posts still standing , and tunnels from which ore had once been takon. The traveler can discern very many places where prospectors havn lately boon at work puncturing the sldoa of the mountains for the purpose of de termining whether the ere is rich enough to reward the minor for his labor. Specimens are taken'to ' the assayer - sayer , who , after putting it in his cruci bles , settles the question. There in no dispute about those moun tains being fullof inotaliurglo sub stances , .
