1 ST. PAUL , Juno 8. [ Special Telegram to
THR BBK. ] Jack Crooks , a St. Paul boy ,
won the game to-day for Omaha , and prob
ably broke the record of total bases made by
a player in u single gamo. Ho went to
tat five times , four times driving the
ball over the right field , and once hitting for
a single. Ills total for buses is therefore
seventeen. His hits also counted for moro
than ono rum Two scored on the first homo
run , four on the next , and two on each of
the others. Nnglo also made two homo runs ,
on the firstof , which four men scored. Thus
fourteen of the nineteen runs of the No-
bnxskans resulted front flvo homo runs.
Tno locals'hnmmorcd Clarke about as they
liked for six Innings , when Nichols was sub
stituted. The latter was hit safely but
twice , and the Apostles scored on him but
once. Although the score was largo , the
game was so close nnd the teams so evenly
matched that the enthusiasm was unbounded.
After Crooks had posted him for a couple
of homo runs , Mains lost heart and dropped
his first game for the season. In the seventh
inning-Willis made a remarkable run to deep
center and caught Daily's apparent three-
base hit just us it was seeking repose among
the daisies. In the ninth ho also made a mar
velous run and catch.
Cleveland was warmly received by his St.
Paul friends , am ) , although ho made a couple
' of errors , made some fine stops and throws
nnd took in thrco or four foul files In fine
shone. Carroll and Broughton took the
fielding honors for the Minnesota team. The
latter was so successful at cutting off men at
second that the visitors soon gave up at
I tempting to purloin the bag.
In the giimo to-morrow the batteries will

and Naglo , ana with good weather all the

nllcs , and the birds returned to the loft in
the following order :
Pomoroy. 13:45 : ; Klllen , 13:50 ; Lady Con
ey , 13:55 ; Lidy O'Donnoll , 13:58 : ; Lady
Beck , 1:05. :
The birds had been flown but twice pre
viously , once from Blair and once from

A Card From Miss Williams.
To the Sporting Editor of THE BEB :
There sccins to bo considerable inquiry as to
whether the contest between Miss Stanley
nnd myself will bo on its merits. Now , I
would like to say that I have not , nor never
shall bo , a party to a fixed race , and the
( lubllc can depend that whatever race I enter
t shall do so with the intention of winning if
in my power. That I am matched against
one of the best riders of the day I am well
aware , and that It will bo u hotly contested
raoo from start to finish may bo depended on ,
as I shall rldo hard , not only to win the
money that is up , but also to retain the
clchteeu-hour championship which I'now
hold. MILLIE WILLIAMS.

From Bolivar to Johnstown the sldo

ire filled with cars loaded with
lumber , furniture and goods and wares of
all descriptions for the sufferers. At the
Cambria Iron works 000 men are nt work and

From good authority that within a day OB

Adjutant-General Hastings snidto-diir that
the whole condition of affairs was much Im
proved and there was not the least trouble
last night from any source. About forty
bodies were recovered to-day up to U o'clock ,
but of thcso only thrco were found at the
bridge.
Judge Advocate Rogers this morning do-i
elded an Important question whlcji arose
over the discovery of forty barrels -of
whisky in a building on Main street. Adju
tant General Hastings was disposed * to con
fiscate it as a safeguard , according to the
military code prohibiting the salq of. liquor
within the limits of a military camp , Rogers
ruled that it was private property and a li
censed dealer had a right to sell liquor
Last evening ten barrels of boor wore
found and under orders from General HasU
ings It was destroyed , with the promise that
It would bo paid for. Already twenty bar
rels of embalming fluid have been consumed ,
aggregating nearly eight hundred gallonsj
It requires from half a pint to a quart to each

The members of the secret societies in
Conomaugh valley fared unusually well. '
The junior O. U. A. M. had u membership bf ,
1'JDO. Out of this onlv nine lives were lost.
Most of them lost their homes , but all are
employed nnd cxuoct to be on their feet
again In a short time. The committee from
Plttsburg nnd Alieghany established head
quarters In town and relieved the wants of
all applicants. The Independent Orderof
Heptasopha had a membership ofUghty-
flvo. nnd lost but two. The Independent
Odd Fellows had a membership of 505
here , and out of that number lost sovonty-
uino , the distressed members being well
cared for. It is not known how many
members of the Masonic order were lost , al
though a prominent Mason says they are
few , and the survivors are being loyalty pro
vided for by the relief comuiittoos of that
fraternity. A trap was laid for u crook un
dertaker who was robbing the bodies in the
Fourth ward morgue. A female was brouirhtr
in and before it was dressed for burjal - a
diamond ring was placed upon a finger , and
the pscudo undertaker was assigned to * take
charge of the body. Ho was detected la the
act of stealing the jewelry , and was arrested
by the police , who took him to Edensburg. '
Forty-seven bodies have just been recov- ;
orcd in a hole on the silo of thn Hurlbut
house. They are supposed to bo the bodies
of guests.
A citizen from Kernvillo wont to Gonorul
Hastings , to-day , and made complaint that
the citizens from Kornville were not permit
ted to cros Stone crook to Johnstown. Ho'
said guards lied refused many citizens who
houses und families had been carried across
the creek , permission to pass over. Ho said
ho believed the reason so man dead had
boon unidentified was that only the persons
who could identify them were in Kernvillo.
General Hastings at once gave the necessary
orders to permit all such persons to pass tho1
lines.
The number of persons who bavo so far
registered is having its good effect and it is ;
believed that within live days all the living
in Johnstown Und vicinity will bo accounted
for. The population of Johnstown and.
vicinity effected by the flood is about UTi.OOO/
The rcgistratiorfof 30.110 leaves about 15,000
to be accounted for. It is not , claimed that
tnnse not registered are dead , for many
had Ipft this section before the registration"
began. Already from 12,000 to la.WXT passes
have been Issued to persons wishing to loavo.
la some cases the passes were issued to the
same persons twice , these who were com
pelled to return for some reason , but it is
safe to say that 8,000 people have left this
section. The Pennsylvania railroad com
pany has tendered the use of their wrecking
machinery with which to tear apart the
material piled in various sections of the townr
The members of the state board of health deny
there is nn epidemic. There nro eight cases ;
of ulcerated tonsllitis In the hospital of the
Red Cross society , and it is reported that
there are forty-llvo cases of dlpthcrla on
the hill. To prevent un epidemic , Surgeon-
General Hamilton , of the United States gov
ernment , was hero to-day to moot the state
board ot health for the purpose ot consider
ing the propriety of the government assum
ing charge of the sanitary work here. The
matter will bo decided when it la reported to
the president.
Among the most Interesting relics of the
flood is a small gold locket found in the ruins
of the Hurlburt house. The locket contains
u small lock of dark brown hair nnd has en
graved in the Insiilo the following :
"A look of George Washington's hair ,
cut in Philadelphia , while on his way to
Yorktown In 1781. "
Mr. Uonford , ono of the proprietors of the
bouse , states that the locket was the prop
erty of his sister , who was lost , and that it
was presented to her by an old lady of Phila
delphia , whoso mother had cut the hair
from the head of the "father of his coun
try. " _

A. Naturalized American's Son Seized'
and Detained in Germany.
NEW YOUK , Juno 8. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BKI : . ] Mr. and Mrs. Helnrich Otto ;
Bissell came from Saxony eight years 'ago' '
and have been living in San Antonio , Texas , )
since arriving In America , whore the 'hus- !
'band ' worked at his trade in a foundry. ' Six
months ago t'uoy found that they had' accumu
lated a snug sum of money and so concluded
to visit the fatherland. Mr. Bissell had ta
ken out his full naturalization papers. Of j
four sous , the youngest , Anthony Paul , aged !
eighteen , only accompanied them on the trip.
Whllo In Dresden the father obtained a pass
port signed by United Stated Minister Pen- :
dleton , and when asked for one for the boy
the consul told him It was not necessary.
The family engaged passage in the North
German steamship Travo , which was
booked to sail May IS. They
proceeded to Bremen , but just as
they were about to go aboard ship , an of
ficer of the harbor police asked for the pass
ports. Mr. Blssell quickly produced ono
bearing bis name , but there was uono for
the son , and so the officer detained him.
The father explained that ho was an Amor-
lean citizen , and that bis son was eighteen
years of ago at the time of his naturaliza
tion , and consequently took the same citizen
ship without further action. After a tedious
parley the hour for the sailing of the steam
ship drew near , and tbo ofllcnr taid very
gruffly that the boy must remain in Gor-
Sany and servo his time In the army.
"In the midst of my appoil , " said Mr.
Bissell , when describing thn scone , "my
son was so much frightened that ho began
to weep , and at that moment the signal
'all aboard1 was aonndcd , nnd the officer
dragged the boy rauchly along the dock.
My wife was completely overcomeby an *
guish and excitement and fainted awav on
the gang plank , wljllo' kiany of the passen
gers protested stroDDty"against the outrage.
It was deemed probable that a complaint
sent by Secretary Blaine to tbo German
government will have , tlio desired effect of
securing the boy's ' raleae.o. ; "

The rumor that Patrick Egnn , of Ne
braska , the newly appointed minister.to
Chili , had boon recalled , on account of the
manner In which his name has boon handled
during the Cronlu Investigation In Chicago ,
caused more or luss comment throughout the
city , and there was n rush to the white house
ana the state department to ascertain what
truth there WAI In the story. At the white
house the Information was to the , effect that
nothing whatever was known of the matter ,
and at the state department Mr , Blaine was
outspoken In his denunciation of. the rumor.
Mr. Blaine said the story was absolutely un
founded ; that the dcparmont had never had
its official attention called to the connection of
Bgan's name with thn Cronln case , and that
the department had never for a moment
thought of recalling Mr. Egan. Mr. Blalno
added that as the now minister to Chill is
only hulf way on his Journey it would bo ab
surd to send a cablegram to him In any event
at the present timo. The yarn was probably
concocted by sorao space writer who drew
upon his imagination for his facts.
AHMK8 SBNTRXCR COMMUTRD.
In. the case of Captain Q. A. Armos , U. S.
A. , retired , sentenced by a Ronoral court
martial to bo dismissed from the service , the
president has commuted the sentence , in
consldoraiion of the godd service which tnis
officer has rendered and of some mitigating
circumstances connected with the ollom-os of
which ho was found guilty , to conilnomont
within such limits as tho'secrolarv of war
may prescribe and the deprivation of the
right to wear the uniform and Insignia of
his rank in ttio army for the period of five
years.
, Army and political circles were engaged
to-day in discussing the action of the presi
dent , and almost without a dissenting voice
his notion was sustained. There was u great
doat of scattering criticism over the action
ot the court , however , In the two cases
which have recently agitated army circles.
Major Lydccker , who was tried for gross
negligence , through which negligence the
city of Washington and the general govern
ment together lose an enormous sum ot
money , was virtually acquitted. The evi
dence before an ordinary Jury would have
been sufficient to have convicted him on the
counts of the indictment , and ynt ho was let
off with a censure and n ridiculous Una of
$100. Major Armes , on the contrary , while
laboring under an excitement which was
quite natural under the circumstances , so
far forgot himself as to assault In a mild way
Governor Beaver , of Pennsylvania , Mid for
this crime was uy the court-martial sen
tenced to dismissal from the army. Presi
dent Harrjson , no doubt , failed to appreciate
the enormity of Major Armes1 crime , an d
for this reason he disapproves the sentence
of the court-martial nnd decides that n
much milder punishment is sutllciont.
These two cases demonstrate the queer
ideas of Justice which are so frequently dis
covered In the findings ot a court martial ,
and it Is believed that they will form the
basis of a now attemot in congress to formu
late legislation which shall relieve the ju
dicial department of the army of the ne
cessity of carrying on minor trials in time of
peace.

Mnnitou It : his summer rnmblos nmid
the mountains of Colorado. Ever since
Captain Rustln camped on the spot und ,
by accident , discovered nnd drank to
his fill of one of these gurglinfr , ollor-
vcscing springs , there has boon n pre
vailing anxiety to teat the inodieuml
qualities of the wntor. This popular
disposition has led to the nurchasing of
tlio grounds nnd obtaining n proprie
tary interest in the springs by parties
who nro making Inrgo returns for their
original outlay. At present there nro
bottling establishments nt both the Hoda
nnd iron springs , from whloh Inrgo
quantities of the liquid is shipped by
rail'to remote points for consumption.
So great has boon the demand that n
glass factory lias been built for the pur
pose of making bottles suck ns nro used
by the owners of the springs. The or
ders for the water increase annually.
The visitor nt Muni ton must keep an
oversight of his pocketbook , or the
llvory men nnd drivers of excursion rigs
will suddenly bo the possessors of most
of the paper currency ho carries with
him. The proposition will soon bo made
to drive him to the Grand ( Jnvorn , the
Cnyo of the Winds , the Garden of the
Gods , the Eyrie , upbomo ono or nnothor
of the noted cnuons , nnd , nftor n little ,
to the summit of the PeaK. Those per
sistent follows hurdly ox poet to got tno
price first mimed , and the now comer ,
by n little judicious management , may
effect u. compromise regarding the cost
of transportation. These conscienceless
hnckmen nnd the voracious hotel keep
ers live off of the strangers who como
only to visit Manitou , and they propose
to bo able to. hnvo , for their painstaking
ing , n bigger bank account at the close
of the season. You might como oft" just
as well by confronting the huckmon and
hostelries nt NiagaraFalls. .
The tireless and facile pens of cor
respondents of newspapers , and those
employed to make railway literature ,
have very largely contributed to bring
nbout the inllux to Manitou during the
summer months , and while it gels more
flattery than enough , it deserves the
mention of being sufllciently near
perpetual snow and far enough
removed from the plains to fur
nish a very equable temperature for
this latitude. The vivifying atmos
phere and the virtue of the waters of its
chalybeate springs , together with its
being cuddled in the fastnesses of the
foothills and within eyeshot of many
mountain torn of gront and varying al
titude , give. tho.location u bewitching
attractiveness.
But people get sick and die at Mani
tou , and many invalids who hope to bo
restored by their coming , go homo do-
spairing. Persons whose vitality has
degenerated or those who nro over
worked and need recreating , surely
will bo boneiitfedby the change. The
exhilaration of the pleasantly-cool eve
nings and mornings giving keenness to
their appetites and1 tonic to their blood
and nerves , and the refreshing sleep
that follows , all tend to give buoyancy
to the physical man.
Colorado has very many surprises to
the tourist whether ho may bo among
the canons or mountains , or upon the
plains. In his excursions from one
place to nnothor ho meets with scones
the like of which ho has not before wit
nessed , keeping him constantly on the
alert to got a look at the next novelty.
And ho is surprised none the less at the
intelligence to bo mot with among the
people , and even culture ; and this is ac
counted for by their having immi
grated from the region of schools and
rolinomont , casting their lots where
they hope to acquire a competency
easily , nnd at the same time , enjoy the
atmosphere and scenery of the majestic
moutain chaim.
But , adieu to all that enchants and
begets an almost reckless disposition to
stay ! The parMng exuitos a lingering
wish that the old nnd notorious peak ,
toward whoso bald head eyes have boon
tunica often for days in the past , might
continue to loom up before the vision ,
dashing thunder clouds to pieces and
penetrating other to such n giddy
height. Hegrot is heightened by de
parting without having left u footprint
on the summit or taken a memento
from th pinnacle whore Zobulon Pike's
feet never trod. ,
