Big Dnvo llowo took his lusty mountain
eers out to the ball nark yesterday after
noon , nnd cunio within nn nco of leaving
them there , for the Omahas nmdc monkeys
of thorn.
Dave , you ECO , has no desire to travel
around tlio country with nn aggregation of
anthropoids nnd try to confidence the natives
into the belief that they nro ball players.
Li tit to lay all joking aside , whllo the Don-
vors uro n good , strong , earnest ball team ,
they were hlio so many pigmies In the dallt-
nnco of n lot nf ginnts yesterday , and the loj > -
sldodncss of the buttle maao It lag and xvcari-
Bomo.
In extenuation of their poor showing , how
ever , it is but proper to state that they only
reached Omaha In the morninc , and had been
on the cars all night.
To-day they promise to. show us what they
can do when they are feeling good.
Yesterday they had their now warm
weather wonder , Peter MoNnbb. in the box ,
and I'otor received such a smashing thnt
great wrinkles were soon to creep in about
the corners of his eyns , und his hair began to
turn grnyi and to keep him from going crazy
bo was sent out Into the garden , Maud , in
tbo sixth , nnd Cornelius Fagan wns called m
to tnko his placo.
.Fngan was but n slight Improvement on
the southerner.
But the came.
Coonoy opened up by talcing first on balls.
Ho stele second and scored on Cleveland's
single. Strauss wns thrown out nt ilrst by
Peter , Crooks likewise , Cleveland goni to
third on the piny. Walsh's splendid drive
brought him home. Andrews ended the in
ning.
That was two runs , anyway , and the
crowd-wns happy.
For the Delivers Dalrymplo was quickly
disposed jf at ilrst on n brilliant stop und
throw by Crooks. McClellan drove thn ball
to right nnd tooic second cushion , on what
really should have been but a single. But it
wns nil the sume , however , for ex-Captain
Croqks slummed both Tredway nnd White
out at llrst so quick that it took their breath.
Clover boy , that Crooks.
Again the White Sox scored in the sec
ond. Nnglo laced out n beauty for a couple
of sacks , and took second on n passed ball ,
Then , after Canavan and Clarke had wafted ,
Coonoy sent him in on a single to loft. Clove-
liuid'STCtlromont stopped the sport
llowo led off with a single for his side , nnd
soon nftor ntnbled clear round to third on n
wild pitch. Thnt wns as far ns ho could get.
Fugan struck out , Sllch ilewoutto Cleveland ,
nnd Grandpa Dolun tried three times to see
how close ho could como to the ball without
hitting.
That , wns ball playing.
In tho" next Strauss went out to Trodway ,
Crooks went to llrst ou balls , nnd Walsh fol-
lowudsult on a fumble of his hot grounder
by Mr. McClcllnu. Then Andrews was pre
sented with llrst on four wldo ones and the
bases were full. And yet no runs came in ,
because Nuglo'drove a littjo ono to McClel-
laiif who touched- Andrews on the IHIO , and
throw the batter out ut Urst , -
A timely double , nnd nn mistatto.
' It was one , two , thrco for Denver.
In the fourth Canavan scored on his own
elnglc. a steal and an error by Dalr.vmplc ,
Again tbo Donvers drew a blank.
In the llftn Mr. McNabb was hammered
mercilessly.
'Walsh , Andrews and Naglo made hits in
rapid succession , the lattor's ' being for two
bags , which scored the former two. Clarke
and Coaiiay were both given their bases ou
balls , und Cleveland drove the whole outilt
m on a rangniflccnt three suck drive wny out ,
in the right Hold corner. Crooks' out at first
spoiled nil chances for further runs.
- Again- the Delivers cnmo In and swnllowcd
their medicine another goo < < o egg. In fnct ,
they kept this up until the very last inning ,
when Trcdwiiy caught a buto on the end of
his club und sent it whizzing ever the right
field fenbo for a homo run.
"That was the only way they could have
niddo urun , " said Crooks , ns ho came In
from second , "by hitting It ouiof the lot. "
The saino teams play this afternoon.

How That Asking For Ijl litlnc Rids
/
Speaking ( ofxtho matter of the electric
light contract ; Councilman Bedford said that
ho thought the committee nctod nil right in
reporting aBJi tJKl. It had been decided that
n 10-cnndlo power light was nil that would
bo tftudcd , nnftiwhjr should they p.iy another
company ? t if/Are / per light of 30-cnndlo
power when such power was not noodcd !
The innyor said ho know nothing about the
matter nnd had no opinion.
Councilman Ford said thnt if the nommlt-
too on gas and olcctrlo light had reported In
favor of accepting the proposition of the
Thomson-Houston Electric Light com
pany without having In 1U ad
vertisement specified what amount ol
llnht was required , they left the bidders out
in the dark , and ho did not think the recom
mendation would finally bo sustained. It was
ono thing to adopt n committee's ' report , sup
posing that the committee had thoroughly
considered the matter under discussion , It
was nnothor thing , however , to order the
committee to'mnko a contract. Such tin
order , bo felt , would not bo inado without
further inquiry into the matter. Bidders
ought to bo given to understand on what
they were bidding. Councilman Davis had
displayed too much energy in going for the
gui company , and , the speaker thought , n
great deal of that energy had hoeu displayed
in this case.
Another member of the council said that
ho didn't Ilka to hnvo his name published ,
but if It was true that the committee ou gas
had not spcolllcd what caudlo power light it
expected , It had not done right and ho would
not favor awarding the contract until there
had been a full and fair competition. "Be
tween you and mo , " ho said , "Mr. Davis
has bbeu warming matters up to the Omaha
Gns Manufacturing company since ho bos
been in the council , and this Is a special example -
ample of it. "

QUKHY TO THE COMMISSIONERS.
Why Was $ i,2OO > Squandered 111 tlio
Vault Balcony ?
Whether the county commissioners pro
pose to do anything wllh J. II. Gomes' re
port of the cost of the vault balcony In the
county building or not seems to bo past find
ing out
Last spring when O'Kceffo made his com
plaint , and the investigating committee , con
sisting of himself , Anderson nnd Turner , was
appointed and empowered to employ two ex
perts , Christian Spccht and Gustavo An-
dreon were conferred with , but fearing that
it would involve them in a political quarrel
they refused to give the committee their
sers'ices. Theroatter the subject dropped
out of sight , though O'Kcoffo had blue
prints made which ho scntto men in Chicago ,
St. Louis , Cincinnati , and other points.
The committee , however , took no
further action. ' . O'Keeffo finally assumed
the responsibility ol engaging ono of the two
exports , and gotCprnes , who took measure
ments and last week made bis report , which
was laid before tha board on Saturday. The
reprt was ordered filed. This report con
tains an itomimV statement showing just
what Mr. Cornea would be willing to furnish
each articla for , and gives the total cost at
$242.40. Whether Anderson and Turner will
proceed now nnd secure another expert Is
not kuown. Turner has gone cast , Mount
and O'Keeffo ace out in tbo country looking
after roads and bridges.
Mr. Anderson-was asked what ho tbought
of Comes' report , ivhich showed that while
the balcony which had cost § 1,5011 , the board
had adopted an expert opinion whicn showed
that the matorialiulonc in the sumo could bo
purchased for less than $300.
The commissioner was surprised to hear
that a roporti of the kind had been fllcd ;
wanted to know who Cornos was , what ho
had done and other things of thnt kind. He
had not even read of Comes" re
port in the papers. Ho was
ignorant of the fact that his board had voted
on , accepted and paid for , n report which
makes 1C an interesting query as to why
$1,500 should be paid for n balcony which , it
seems , could have been put m position for
less than $400 nt the utmost

A FAfcSE HUSBAND.
Mrs. Ilncan Wants Her Money , Not
Ills Heart.
Mary E. Hagan has instituted suit In the
district court against her husband , George
C. Hagan , for 54,000.
She says that in Juno last sbo purchased of
Lnwreuco C. Moore , Chicago , his Interest in
a certain confectionery establishment , pay
ing n largo sum of money. To rniso
the purchase price she sold valuable
property iu Pennsylvania , and gave
nor husband the proceeds with which ho
was to pay Moore. Instead , however , of
paying ho absconded from Chicago with
Rnchel Vaughn as has been told In Tun BRE ,
and started to California. Mrs. Hagan tele
graphed to Chief of Police Soavoy , who ni > -
probcndcd the pair when they reached
Omaha. In Mrs. Hagan's aftluuvit Hied with
the petition she says she believes the Com
mercial National bank of this city bos tbo
money she sues for in its possession.
Mrs. Hugnn and Moore are at the Murray
hotel. They loft Chicago together on Satur
day afternoon over the Chicago & North
western road. Mrs. Hagnn is under Macro's
care , and ho left ardors that neither himself
nor his charge should bo scon by any ono. If
visitors asked for them they were supposed
to be out.
A reporter for TUB BKE rapped ou tbo door
of room No. 15 yesterday afternoon. Tbo
door was opened and a sleepy face made its
appearance.
Mr. Moore wns "ut homo. "
The door then closed with a bang. When
it opened again the body attached to the
sleepy face had been hastily clothed.
"Come in , " and Mr. Moore sank down on
the bed from which ho hud just arisen.
What did ho know about the affairs of the
Huguns !
Everything , but ho wouldn't say \vord. .
And what did he know about the girl in
the case ?
All about it She is not a typewriter ,
and hardly knows enough to reader
or write her own name. She was
only a servant girl in the Hagan family ,
nnd bears nn unsavory reputation.
She had an illegitimate child bcforo she oversaw
saw Hagan. The child is now with the girl's
mother. The pretty ninetcon-yoar-old girl is
twenty-three if sho's a day. But hero
And Mr. Moore stopped his tongue so quick
his eyes fairly popped , and ho said ho didn't
want to bo interviewed. ParUo Godwin
would answer all the questions.
See Mrs. Hugon ? Not if he know himself.
OIL no , not to-duy. She won iu his charge ,
and both of them were in Godwin's hands.
Nobodv should see her. She wasn't out hero
for her health or to got her husband , but to
punish him. She is hysterical , and ono mo
ment laments her hard fate , the disgrace
that has fallen ou her children , etc. , then
instantly collects herself and declares she
will have her rights.
Moore is a tea packer with headquarters at
Chicago. Ho says ho novur saw Mrs. Hagan
until n few hours before the train started
last Saturday , but they at once pooled issues
to get. their money back.
Hagan was seen la'.er and said ho guessed
ho would keep his story'back until toniav.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon he will have an
examination bcfnr Judcra Borka. Ho dnnlos ,
however , the story that ho absconded with
his wife's money , and says ho mortgaged his
business block nt Now Castle , Pa. , to get the
money ho brought hero with him. The
money , in the shape of a draft for $2,500 , now
lies in the Commercial National bank of this
city.An
An interesting bit of news is this : Ilagan
will say that ho never Intended to leave
Chicago permanently , nnd hud no thought of
atopnmg with the girl , but was merely es
corting her to her relatives in tbo west. Ho
wasn't ready to say just where thcso rela
tives wcro. Ho had intended from the be
ginning , and Intends now , to go back to Chicago
cage and attend to his business.

Heroic Ijlttlo JitnnilR Dnvii.
A genuine hero lins developed in Council
Bluffs , nnd ho is none other than llttlo Jltn-
inie Davis , the lecless bootblack , who has
been for the past few years n familiar object
on the streets of this city. Ho has quietly
won his way to distinction bv riskiughis own
lifo to save nnothor , and In a manner , too , ii
which the chances were overwhelmingly
ngainst him. It nil bauponed very quickly ,
but the act was witnessed by hundreds , am
this Is how It occurred :
*
A young man from Omaha who was
bathing at Mariawa Sunday evening vonturoi
out too far , and was soon beyond his depth
Not being able to swim , ho became fright
cued , began to cry for assistance and was
swallowed up by the waves. Of the dozens
of men who were silent spectators of the nf-
fair , none had presence of uilnd or cour
age onpugli to go to the assistance of the
drowning man. Before anyone fully renllred
whut it all meant Jimmie was bravely swim
ming to the spot where the man disappeared.
Ho reached tbo place as the man catna to the
surface , and was clutched in such n dcsuer-
ate embrace that both wont down together.
In 85IHO way ho mnnagod to free himself und
succeeded in tugging his charge into shallow
water. How he did can hardly bo under
stood , as ho has no logs whatever , nnd bis
ability to swim alnue is almost a miracle , to
say nothing of sustaining the additional
weight of a struggling and drowning man.
Ho certainly saved the lifo of the stranper ,
as any other help would have been too late
to i each him.
The heroic : llttlo fellow , whoso courageous
action is above chronicled , lost bptli leu.s
a few years ago whllo picking up coal
along the Northwestern railway tracks.
It was a wonder that ho lived , and
for a while people gave financial testimonials
of their sympathy for him in his misfortune ,
but it was reported that ull ho received was
squandered by his father for liquor , and it
became necessary for the boy to earn his
living blacking shoes. Ho manages ' to get
around upon two short crutches.'niid with
the slumps ot the amputated limbs routine on
the soles of two old sboes presents n most
pitinblo spectacle. His deed of heroism at
the lake is worthy of recognition , nnd it is
stated that n subscription paper will bo
started for his oencflt and o committee ap
pointed to sco that the money rnised is ex
pended for his bonofli. Such charity is deserved -
served , und it Is hoped that all will contrib
ute.

"I ropnrd Savorfrunn do Brnzzn , next

Steekolnmnn In Now York a few days
npo to n Sun ronortor. Mr. SlecUol-
intum wns to still next day for tlio
French Conpo region , whore ho Imd
already spent three years. "No ono
who 1ms ever scon Uo Bnmn ona \ \
travels , " ho contlnuodb "could fall to
recognize the fact that ho was born to
ho an oxplororv I shall never forgot the
time I mot him far Inland , whou 1 was
traveling up the Kwllu rlvor.
"Ono day I rescued n tribe who sel
dom saw whlto men. They were not
hospitable , but llnallv concluded to soil
mo food. Aflor a low houra I got on
friendly terms with thorn , alid they al
lowed mo to camp In the vlllngo. Sud
denly I observed a , little commotion
among the natives. A few carriers
were soon emerging from the forest ;
'
and with them wns it slender , snd-facod ,
poorly clad white man. It was tlio
governor of the Fronoh Congo himself ,
and ho wns off on ono of his long tramps
through the country.
"Do Braiwa approached a group of
imtlvoa and nuked thorn for food. The
Riivagos thought this was piling It on.
'No , they said grulllyVo ; Imvo ono
white man here already. You can't
got food horo. You had bettor go on
your way. '
"Do Brnzza said nothing. Ho simply
ordered his carriers to lay down thoi'r
loads in the middlo' of the village.
Then ho sat down apart from the na
tives while ono of the men unpacked
Ills astronomical and other instruments.
Tlio explorer wont to work to mnko
observations for. position and to calculate -
late ills altittulo.
"It was the strangest eight the na
tives ever saw this white 'inan study
ing his instruments tjo intently , and
llgurlng away on a bit of paper. They
made up their minds that his instru
ments were a very powerful fetich , and
that this whlto tuun was a person not to
bo Irllled with. Soon a crowd gathered
around him , and when the curious
blacks came too near , the explorer
frightened thorn away by his grull man
ner and impatient gestures.
" 'Got from . Clear
away mo. out.
Don't you see I'm busy ? Lot mo alone,1
ho said.
"As length Do Brar/.a finished his
work and put away his instruments.
Some natives had boon cooking their
evening meal in front of their hut.
Their meat and vegetables , which had
boon boiling in a pot , were ready , and
the group gathered around the1 dying
Tire and hognn to oat. Do Ura//a
watched them for a minute or two.
Then ho took a tin plate and a
largo spoon , walked up to the
pot , helped himself liberally to its
contents without saying a word to any
body , sat down by a tree , and recrnled
himself with native cookery. Uo know-
just the oll'ect his actions hud produced
unon the native mind and just what to
do. Then ho told the villagers bisinou
were hungry and must be fed. Fed they
wore , witn all they could eat , for who
would , dare to oppose a great nu'diuino
man who carried such a remarkable
fetich ns a theodolite ? Do Braz/.a slept
In the village that night , and next
morning ho paid the nntivoHwoll for all
they had given him , and tool : Ills'de
parture.
Do I3raz7.a is ono of the few explorers
who nro perfectly willing , if neotl be , to
live for months on natiro cookery. If lie
has no supplies .it hand he is not afraid
to travel without them. Stanley said
that Do iJrumi was one of the most
dilapidated looking objects ho ever saw
when ho suddenly turned up on the
Congo one day , barefooted and In rags.
Do 13ra-/.za relates , however , in his story
of his travels on the Ogowo , an experi
ence that nearly upset his equilibrium.
IIo arrived at n village one day and rq-
quested a woman to cook him some din
ner. She prepared the mealand wliilo
ho was eating it lie asked Inn iliisky
host thn name of the fish she had s6the-
fore him. She replied t unfit was not
llsh but Miuko ho was eating. Though
lie thought the dish an invttjhg qno.his
imagination got tlio better of him , tinil
the explorer bays ho suddenly lost his
appetite ; and did not regain Lt until the
next meal time.
