Prince nnd Heading's Grc'nt Knco Xho Jlaynuiiid Gun Clul ) Wills- I > cHriKH of the Wheel Tim Juno Tournament. This in Our Kstlmntlon. Plcoso state in your next Sunday's IJnr. the fllffercnco Iwtwccn the average attendance at the Players' and National league ball games BO far this season , and which , In your estima tion , Is meeting with the most favor and re ceiving the best support from the public } U. P. Transfer Fans. Ans. So far the Players' league has had nllghtly the best of It , which , however , may be accounted for by the wholesale system of compllmcntarlcs which marked their open ing games. Lately the league , In the way of attendance , have been gaining on the Play ers , but nro yet somewhat behind. They cer tainly have plavod the best ball , notwith standing the all-star make-up of many of the brotherhood teams. But that Is neither hero nor there. What TUB Br.n has always apprehended , has como to pass. The great national game has received a blow that it may require years to recover from. Uho ? writer has had no animosity ntrainst the players , and was only actuated In Ills utter- nnces by the fear that bos fully materialized. The organization of the Brotherhood was un- quustioimbiv a grave mistake. It has done Incalculable harm to the sport , and is destined to do moro. By July 4 there will bo any .quantity of mighty interesting baseball liter- hturo. Just reflect a moment. Two weeks of the championship season liavo elapsed , aud already it has been Incontrovertibly demon strated that the people have lost Interest In the game , and nro rapidly withdrawing their support. In every city where there nro two clubs belonging to these organizations , the old lire ot enthusiasm has disappeared , nnd " that loyalty born of local prldo and rivalry yuos ceased to exist. These essential clo- Ntoiontfl to the maintenance of the game Eradicated , what must bo the Inevitable result ! Why , that the drawing pow- power of baseball Is reduced to n minimum. jTho attendance nt the games of the league nnd brotherhood uro decreasing daily , and nlrendy the alarm has been sounded in a number of cities. And oven the Western as- Hoclatlon , which suffered lass by reason of the baseball war than any organization in the country , is being perceptibly affected by the 'general ' apathy that has overtaken the great , rmy of enthusiasts. "I've lost nil interest Jn tno game , " said n prominent business man to the writer yesterday , "and don't oven care to go out nnd sco our boys piny. There's too much of it ; it doesn't seem gouuhio , and I'll wait until the thing simmers down to some sort of shape again. " Any fair minded , observant reader must ngreo in this. It is now being suggested nnd urged by the press throughout the country that some sort of an armistice bo entered Into by the opposing factions for irreparable , disaster is plainly foreseen. Do the players realize this ! It Is doubtful. But wait until one or the other of the two organizations goes under , which is bound to occur , and then see what the condition of affairs will 1)0. The country will bo overrun with players , Out of a Job , and as the market Is always gov- fcrned bv the law of supply nnd demand , sala- " * lies will take such a tumble as will paralyze ( your buck Ewlngs.your Pfuffers.your Wards , Irwins. Comiskoys nnd the whole gang of baseball wreckers and destroyers. TlioIJult of the AHSOClntlon. Every Team in the Western association takes a particular and fiendish delight in Wnllopping the Omaha team. This is proba bly because they are this year's champions , Chat Is they are clothed Jin this empty honor by reason of the achievements of last /year's ' team , but this year's team and last voyeur's nro vastly different combinations , yet literally ami truly the Oifiahas are the chump- Jens of the'Wes'tcrn assiljiation for the prcs- _ juitycar. This itf the only explanation that suggests itself. Surely the animosity of the other clubs nnd the cranks of other cities has not been procreated by any braggadocio in- 'Uulgcd In by the local press , for it bos been conservative and fair in speaking of the team , nnd no paper in the city has ever claimed that Omaha would again take the pennant this year. Other teams , notably the Cow boys and the Apostles are thrashed right along with almost ns much regularity as the homo team , nnd still it creates no especial comment or jubilation in rival cities , but let \ - Andrews family get n llagellalion and all the other cities lu the circuit fairly boil over with exultation. This is probably another reason for the Omahas1 poor luck. They real ize that nil other teams nurse up and husband ihelr fullest strength for them , and when they go Into the light they feel that it Is ono to the death. This makes them nervous nnd timid , and they fail to do themselves Justice. Yet the team Is lamentably weak in many details , there's no denying this , and nil that will bring victory is the engagement of two pfHhroo additional men who can play ball on 61 par with the players of the opposing teams. Oinnhn'H Amateur Dull Teams. Amateur base ball promises to thrive in Omaha this season. Already there Is n good round number of very creditable teams In the Held and several more on the eve of organiza tion. Most of the teams are playing inde pendently , the effort to reorganize the city league failing on account of the indisposition on the part of several of the strongest teams to enter. Among the strongest of all these nniatcur organizations is the Crane company's team. This includes the following well known players : Swartz , catcher ; Geist , pitcher ; Lally , first base : Cnmgan , second base : Ktnyr , third base , Nelson , shortstop ; Bowles , left Held : , ICuhn , right Held ; Wlegnmn , center Held , and f-Tichnor , substitute. ' Another line team is the City Steam Laun- tlry nine : Llnuhan. catcher ; Stophouson , Hart nnd Mllln , pitchers ; Bowman , llrst base ; Morse , second base ; Toner , third base ; Norgrcn , shortstop ; MoAullnV , right field : JIurloy , center Held , uud Mouaghun , left Held. The Eden Musees nro another string com bination : O'Donnoll , Henderson and Luwlcr pitch , Crelghton and Millet catch , Withnell Jlrst , Morse second , Baldwin short , Thomp son third , Kennlston loft , Baldwin right and Welroso middle. The M. E. Smiths embrace such promising players ns Launhan catch , Stephcnson pitch , Storey short , String first , Lodor second , Bur gess third , Uanlgor loft , Hooper middle , O'Brien ' right. intch. Nicholson right , Scholl loft , Morse inlddle nnd Yogcr substitute. Kilpatrlck , Koch & Co. Collier catch , Jlestwood pitch , Sanders first , Murray second end , Kolb third , Williams short.

Handle catch , Bunnlngtmm second , Salisbury Jlrst , Cotter third , McICclvoy , pitch. Whlte- liom short , Wllklns right , Yule middle nud U'hinorloft.

Tiui Hunt U the onlyoompetont uuiplro oa the Western association staff , unless Hender son is cxccptcd. Bob Black , Joe Grotty and Honnlo Knnpcll , all of whom I > car the Cincinnati brand , arc with the Sioux City team. Nichols , the Boston papers say. has a broader grin on his fuco when In the box than smiling Mlckoy Welch , Billy Klusctnan will bo a fixture on second base for the Browns. President Yonder Aho has dropped his negotiations for Detroit Hlfrglns. Sandy McDermott has boon giving vlsltinp teams the worst of It at Boston. Both the Brooklyns and New Yorks complain of rough treatment at his hands. There Is more work for the guillotine In the Omaha team. A few more releases and the securcmcntof ono or two additional good men would land the Omahas In a place yot. George Washington Bradley celebrated his ninety-seventh birthday last Wednesday. Ho Is still In Philadelphia nnd would llko to sign with Omaha. Ho thinks ho can hold hls-own hero. Ted Kennedy has been appointed upon the Western association umpire- staff , and mur der 1 Is the cry from every city. Secretary Hocho hasn't evinced much sagacity In his conduct of association affairs , thus fur , tak ing his umpires as it specimen. Today's game Is the Inst for the homo grounds until May .TO. when the St. Pauls will bo bcro. They will bo followed In quick succession by Minneapolis , Milwaukee nnd DCS Molncs , and In all thuro wll bo 21 games played hero In the rosy mouth of June. The double umpire system has not accom plished the purpose Intended. Thcro is just about as much kicking with two as there used to be with ono umpire. The only difference Is that there are two to divide the vials of wrath poured on their heads by the irate players. , Ijlko the Omaha management , the St Paul club Is harshly criticised at borne after every defeat of Its teamand , It looks as if the public of that city will not for a long time recover from the feeling against the management caused by the sale of favorite players last year. i. It is n waste of time and breath to attempt to make Uinplro McDermott change a deci sion after ho has made the announcement. Ho has got plenty of backbone.--Boston Her ald. That's just the kind of umpires needed In the league and Nick Young should stand by "Sandy. " Dave Kowo made the Omahas a fine offer for Clarke , but Omaha hasn't any ball players for sale. She has got a few , however , sho'd llko to give away. Kowo offered President McCormlck Dalrymnlo. McNabb and Trum- phoy and $750 in cosh in exchange for Dad. Dave says with Dad on his staff ho'd feel pretty sure of the pennant. The local cranks arc all bemoaning the sale of Crooks , Cooney , Naglo and Nichols , never giving any consideration to the fact that it would have been an impossibility for the Omaha management to hare kept those men. Every last ono of them would have gone over to the brotherhood , in which event the local management wouldn't have derived a cent from the transfer. It required u vast amount of persuasion to prevent Clurko from going over. As the season wanes the public will begin to realize just what a crushing blow to the national game the brotherhood has been. Rochester Star : Thomas Kearns , the New York Central railroad cx-llreman-ball player , was born In Kochestcr. N. Y. Ho has played on more pennalit winning clubs that any ball player living , and Js now captaining nnd playing second base for the Omaha Neb. , club , who won the pennant last year. Tom played in Buffalo with George Weidman and with the Grand Rapids , Toledo , Portland , Me. , Syracuse , Toronto. Detroit , London , Hamilton nnd Rochester University teams. Ho is uu excellent batter , base runner nnd captain. Ho is very tricky and bids fair to shine in the Western league. The Great Race Tomorrow. The Prince-Reading six-day oight-Uour-a- doy cycle chase begins at the Coliseum to morrow afternoon , nnd is exciting a vast deal of speculation among the lovers of athletic sports. That this is a fair , square , up-aud-up race there is not -a , shadow of doubt , and people desirous of witnessing the contest need not hesitate about attending through the apprehension that it is lixed. It Is not. The men are backed to the extent of $1,000 n side by well known , reputable business men , who would not lend themselves to anything but a legitimate contest Both riders are in dead earnest and will strain every fibre , nerve and sinew to win the race. It is a good deal moro than the stakes toboth men. Princewho has been training inccssautlysinco the consumma tion of the match , says ho never was In better fig , and feels as if lie would bo willing to ride any man for his life. Ho declares ho can't lose. But there's many slip "twixt the lip and the dipper , in an athletic contest of any descrip tion. Reading is moro reticent than his burly antagonist , yet he assures his friends that it would bo Impossible for him to bo in moro ele gant shape , and that ho is stronger , heartier and faster than over before in his life. "Watch mo fool this big dub , " ho said to a little knot of friends last night , with a signifi cant wink of the eye , "Ho thinks ho has n picnic , that I'm no good , that ho taught mo to ride and all that rot , and all ho has to do is to trail mo until the last hour of the last day , then spurt past mo and beat mo out. But ho will have to do moro than all this or I am not the man I.think I nm. Another thing I wish to mention and I think there is danger in it , out I may bo wrong , but I feel just as sure as I get ahead of Prince that his followers will cry fake , as a loophole of escape. But that will not bo afforded thorn. The time will have a good deal to do in demon strating the character of this race , and if I beat Prince it will bo on my merits , nnd from no other cause , and beat him I will , if I can. " Dave Itowo Talks Business. "Speaking of the Western association , " said Dave Rowe to the writer Thursday evening , "I think it infinitely stronger both as n money maker and in playing strength than the American association. Thcro are six clubs in our circuit that will indisputably make money'and if DOS Molnos and Sioux City continue to put up their present excel lent article of ball the whole eight will como out ahead. Now hero's ono thing I would like to see agitated , and It Is something that THE BKE , of all the papers in the western circuit , has been hammering away "at for the past three years , and that is the idloov of this association paying tribute to the National league and American association , neither of which organizations have the best of us In a single particular , What right have they to demand of us so much money for the privilege to hold our pluycrs the American association , Inferior to us in every way. Why , I tell you It is simply dis gusting , and the Western association mag nates are dolts if they consent to any such preposterous taxation another season. What would have boon the right thing for the league and the American association to have done was to invite us to be come a party to the national agreement. Wo are paying for something wo don't got. It bus been clearly proven that we must sat isfy the demands of our players regardless of uny right wo doirvo from this great , lmmu > ulato agreement to hold them. The courts have said in unmistakable language that the reserve rule is not worth the paper it Is writ ten upon. The courts have also developed that our contracts ore good and valid with our players and will hold them for just the length of time they have signed nnd no longer. No outside organization can take any of our players during the season , because the law says so. Then what are wo paying for. Nothing. Wo are simply making these two older bodies u present. Now what would bo right is for us all to got together and enter into ono general agreement to re spect caoh other's contracts. The JSO.OOO club has no rights superior to these of the ? : > 0,000 club , and there Is a whole lot of injustice in this business which bos never been dis cussed through the papers. It is a short sighted policy ou the part of the league to exact this money from the minor associations , and shorter sighted business policy oa the part of these bodies U > vy 1V , , However , 1 think some thing will drop with moro than a dull thud at the next annual baseball meeting. The general out look. Sandy , I tell you kit was never so good , Al Spaldlng , the Now York World , Tribune , Cincinnati Enquirer and TUB OMAIU BEE to the contrary. I blanio Mr. Spaldlng ; considering tha attendance which so fur has been accorded both the league uud the brotherhood , for making the statement that baseball is ou the decline. Take cities where the pcoplq line the streets by tens of thousands to see a parade of ball pluyors , . uud tell me the sport u in the sere and yellow , and I'll iauch iu your faoa Honestly , I do not recollect of a spring , talcing the whole country Into consideration , nnd the in auspicious weather wo have had , when as many people turned out to see baseball. I toll you It Is simply marvelous , and It dosn't ' Justify S paid lug's statement that the game is on the decllno. The people will go to sco baseball as lang as it is played honestly , mid as there are no players or managers , cither , who long for any crookedness In this tremendous deus business scheme , it is bound to bo the popular pastime fdr many long yearsofter you and I have Hewn over the Jasper wall. " The Ilnyiuoml Gun Glut ) . TSo Raymond gun club bos been reorgan ized and put upon a firmer basis. The ofllc- era- are Charles E. Johnson , president ; Fred W. Montmorcncy , vice president ; Mark R. Perkins , secretory and treasurer , and W. W. Blngham , captain. Last season the membership was limited to twcnty-fl vo members owing to the club's lim ited accommodations , but this season the club will use the Gwln & Dunmlro grounds across the river , nnd the membership will bo largely increased. C. S. Raymond , after whom the club was named , presented the club with a handsome gold medal lost year , and this will bo award to the member having the highest average at the close of the summer's shoot , a beautiful diamond badge. There are many line shots In the club , and It will require a corking high average to take the prize. The other prizes for the season are n hammerlcss Parker from Gwln & Dunmlre , a corduroy hunting suit from Robinson & Gannon and u Colt's ride from the Collln's guni company.

All are cordially invited to attend this meeting. The Juno Tournament. The early summer shooting tournament , to bo held on Juno 3 , 4 and 5 , under the auspices of Gwin & Dunmlro , promises to bo a very interesting affair. The shooting will be prin cipally confined to artificial targets , yet there will bo several live bird sweepstake shoots , nnd a number of private matches. The tour nament will bo hold on the grounds across the river , which have been greatly improved this spring , and nro now about as complete as an3 * in the west. From the "Wheel. The Apollos will make the run to Bellvuo today , starting at 2 :15 sharp. The club enjoyed their recent run to Papll- lieu immensely , and will repeat the trip many times this summer. There were ten of them In line , almost as good u showing as the older club makes. Louis Flescher won all the amateur races at St. Joe Sunday. Among the prizes were a $75 shotgun and a $50 dog cart. Thcro were but three competitors , Flescher , Tnggor and Sanclfy. Many others intended to go down , but they concluded it would only be another of Jack Prince's fakes and they backed out. The track , however , was a line one and could bo made as good as any in the west. Chicago will hold her second annual bicvclo tournament Juno 2 to 7. The programme will consist of some twenty-five amateur events , among which will bo a 100 mile race. Ono thousand five hundred dollars will bo award ed in prizes. Several of Omaha's crack ama teurs will go over and it's dollars to dough nuts that they carry off some of the laurels. St. Joe is to have a female bicycle race , be ginning on Monday next. There is much en thusiasm over wheeling in this ancient burg , and a good attendance is assured. The A polios are talking of forming a team and challenging the Lexington. Neb. , club for a race or a series of racesto , toke place in the coliseum or on the fair grounds. Fleschor , Cabbano , Pixloy nnd Tagger would make u stout quartette , Prof. Pcrrigo was in Kansas City several days this week on byking business. Mr. Smith , captain of the Lincoln cycling club , of Chicago , was in the city several days last week. Ho states that there are fifty entries for the Pullman road race , which Is booked for May )10 ) , and which will probably prove the greatest rood race of the year. Omaha can boast of twelve or thirteen Indies who ride the bicycle , and there are sev eral moro under Pcrrigo's instructions. The Apollo club meets tomorrow evening , at 7 : ! JO sharp. A full attendance is requested. Now York Sporting Affairs. NBW YOIIK , May 8. [ Special Correspond ence to TUB Bun. ] The event of the past week has been the debut of Joe MoAuliffe , the California giant , before eastern sports. His opponent was Jack Fallen , the "Brooklyn Strong Boy , " and ho appeared as a baby in the bauds of the El Doradoan. McAulIffo was very sick that evening , suffering from an attack of diphtheria which made it difficult for him to breathe. Ho sparred against his physician's wishes anil the rounds were shortened for him. Ho did not have n chance to show himself to any advantage on account of his sickness , but the sporting men present did not think ho would stand any chauco with Sullivan on account of his slowness. He has n remarkable reach and heighth , but Is verv slow with his bauds nnd feet. Probably at some future date ho may bo able to show himself to u bettor advantage. Peter Jackson Is in this neigh borhood nt present nnd talk Is rife of a match between McAulIffo and the big darkey. Billy Madden has issued an edict to the effect that ho Is willing to back McAulIffo against Jack son for $5.000 aside , but It is hardly probable that anything will como of the affair. Jimmy Lynch nnd Paddy MuBrldo hav- signed articles to light to a finish with skin tight gloves for $500 a side with the option of making it $1,000. They will light inside of six. weeks. It will be remembered that McBride - Bride made Lynch cry enough iu four rounds nt n sparring exhibition , but Lynch was very much out of condition at the tlnio. When the men come together I predict a victory for Lynch , as I think his superior science and ring generalship will toll over McBrldo's brute strength. When the men meet there will bo plenty of batting , as both men have staunch friends who will put their shekels on their favorite. Billy Murphy , the featherweight champion , has been visiting us this week uud ho has not made u very stroug impression on the sport ing men of this village. They think that his fight with Weir was a pure case of "fake" all through and thov have sufficient reasons for bcliovUg so. When Weir started for "Frisco ho did not have a dollar in the world which ho could call his own and it is on open secret that his railroad faro to the Pacific coast was subscribed by Boston sporting men. The result of the fight is well known. Weir bad Murphy as good as gone when ho sud denly weakened ( ! ) and Murphy bad things his own way afterward. Weir returned to Boston with something llko $ . " ,000 hi his clothes nnd satisfied that-ho had no business with Murphy , So you can Judge for yourself why the Now Yorkcr.f form such an opinion of Murphy. His challenge to fight McCarthy nnd Dlxon in the samg rhtg , the ? amo night , wasn genuine case .ot. "bluff" and It only tends to heighten the fcclmg-agatust the Aus tralian. Speaking of George , Dixon , the colored fenthcrwelgfit. what 'hiw become of his pro posed trip to England to fight Nunc Wallace. It Is n sufficient fact that when I spoke to Colonel McCarthy about , the trip ho wanted to wager mo anything from a big red apple to n suit of clothes that Dtxon never had.any Idea of going to England , Ho said it was only n loophole through which Dlxon expect ed to escape n match wltftl him. Cal. Is tak ing things easy Just at present but says ho will make some of thdflttlfe r ones hustle in the fall. Y It Is but a fowdays 'before the legitimate racing will commence and race-goers are busy nt present trying to pick the winner of the Brooklyn Handicap. The candidates nro more forward than previous years , the re markably fine weather of the past week helpIng - Ing the trainers along wonderfully. There Is is almost a certainty of n dozen or moro starters , but the following nro about the most prominent : Badge , Sir Dlxon , Blackburn , Diablo , Los Angeles , Oriflauime , Major Dome , Vcngcur , Casslus , Brown Princess , Fides , Savento , Scadrift , Erie , Reporter , Como-to-Taw nnd Demboyne. Probably in my next letter I tuny bo able to give you a dolluito Idea of the wny they will finish. As usual , Marty Bergen loads the jockeys miming mounts at the Elizabeth race track. Hamilton and Taylor follow close in his wake. Bergcn'3 riding of King's Idle nud Gray Rock , last week , were exhibitions of skill and generalship that are rarely seen nowadays. The Fordham lad bids fair to top the list of running Jockeys for the year. Ills brother Joe is also developing into n good boy. He Is nt present under engagement to the Dyer Brothers , CLAIUSCU. Miscellaneous lineal Squibs. Edwin Oliver , an old time bicycle rider of Chicago , isjin the city. Upland plover nro affording good shooting on the prairies west of the city. Jack Prince returns to St. Joe after his great race with Ned Reading next week , to iwrfcct the organization of an Athletic club down there. Harry Maynard , the well-known light weight champion of the Pacific coast , has been ono of the attractions at the Musco dur ing the past week. Probably the handsomest nnd most unlquo stake book over issued is that of the New York Jockey club for Its coming spring moot ing at Morris park. In addition to being profusely illustrated with scenes of the mag nificent race course nud buildings , the book contains much matter Interesting to turfmen. Seventy thousand copies have already been distributed by Secretary Koch , who has TUB BEU'S acknowledgement for favors. Questions uud Answers.

There are no thoroughbred trotters on the turf , but there are trotters who are half thoroughbred , that is to say , the greatest success lu this line has been achieved by breeding thoroughbred mares to standard stallions. Pure bred nnd full blood are synonymous with thorough bred. Wo do not usq the , word grade as ap plied to speed horses , but it is used where blooded stallions , especially of the draft species , are bred to native or western horsps , the result of such breeding- being called graded horses , Yes , here Is Messenger blood in horses of today , but Tun BIK : hasn't the time or space to go through the pedigrees and locate them for you.

The Transformation lYnm Drcnmy Hliiinbcrcrn Into K.xclted Flro- Searchers Flying In Dnrkucsa ou the AVInps of the Wind. In No. 2 , cnglno house on Tenth street be tween Farnam and Douglas , there are six ili-emen who claim they are members of a company which can boast of the quickest nnd most effective work , the llncst nnd best drilled fire team , tbo most valuable dog and the best all-round record of uny lire company lu the city. They nro M. J. Carter , captain ; Mlko Kavauagh , driver ; John McBrlde , plpeman ; Tom Downs , Peter McGulro nud Martin Mulvlhlll. Thcro Is not a Jollier or more social set of men to bo found in n days Journey. Life in the station Is , as n general thing , rather monotonous and comcfortablo. The men Ho about the sleeping apartment and read or engage Inn game of high-five or spin yams iu the engine room below. The horses sleepily switch the flies In their stalls nnd watch the pedestrians outside nnd men nnd horses are apparently half asleep. It Is only half however nnd the drowsy atmosphere is thrilled with life and bustle at the llrst tap of the big goug. Thcro are- liner nud moro elaborately furnished engine houses in Omaha than No. 'J , but , everything considered , there are noiio whore ono would rather lounge awnv the time. The big reel with It's thousand feet of hose , more than is carried by any other In the city , Is bright with red paint and polished brass. The suspended harness which , with n single motion , drops and Is fastened on the backs of the waiting horses , is clean and well oiled , with all its buckles shining. The stalls In the rear ore clean nud cool nnd the flro-boys nro always willing to talk nud gossip with a visitor. No. 2 , is a child of the old volunteer fire men days and has numbered among it's members such veteran firc-flglitcrs as Bill Ryan , Joe A'audcrcoort , Barney Shannon , John Barnes , Ted Grebe nud others. . The company was bora October 13,1803 , in Dick Wilde's bar room and its llrst ofliccrs were Dick Richard , foreman ; William Nel son , first assistant , nnd Ashley second assist ant. These were the days of red shirts , parades and buckets. An old hand engine which hud been used by No. 1 till the latter became the proud possessors of a Silsby steamer was No. 2's ' proudest possession nud it hud a history. It was brought from Daven port , la. , in 1SOO and was landed on the river bank from a steamboat amid a great blowing of whistles , ringing of bells and booming of cannon which had been brought from Florence for the occasion. Business was sus pended and every one joined in the jubilation over the arrival of the monster force pump. Thcro were lifty feet of hose , nnd in the nbsenso of a hose cart Mart Hamgc's brawny shoulders were pressed into service nud to many a lire ho carried the hose. It was a proud day for No. 2 when they housed their ungainly baby in a frame engine house on the site now occupied by the present engine house. The second floor in these days was used as a place ofj'jneeting and a reading and foungiug room. In case of lire , some ono had first to wake up the fireman and then llnd n cistern. If no cistern was convenient , the engine had to bo abandoned and resort had to the buckets. The ola "Firo King" did good service at mpuy a fire in those days , among them the Faruam street lire , when the block from Thirteenth to Fourteenth burned ; the St. Charles hotel lire , the Great Western brewery llro , the Giso barn lire , the Caledonian house lire and in 1870 at the Lowe barn lire , when she throw her last stream in Omaha and was then shunted off into an old shed ou Sixteenth and Farnam to make room for n gaudy successor , the steamer "New Chicago. " There she lay neglected for a year or two till she was sold to Golden , Colo. Her " subsequent career was full of vicissitudes , "and , when last heard from , she had been hurled down u canyon while working at a lire during a riot In some little mountain town. In 1870 the paid department was organized and No. 2 became possessed of a steam flro engine , a hose curt and three horses aud was manned by live nidi. Ten flro alarm boxes were put iu at this time nnd the company began to put on metropolitan airs. The steamer days lasted without change till the waterworks wcreput in and a two- wheeled cart purchased. In 18SO while the company was fighting n fire at the Boyd packing house , u flro broke out In the frame engine house and it burned to the ground. For a year after this No. 3 occupied quarters with No. 3 at Sixteenth and Farnum. The present quarters were completed In 1882 and the ponderous hose cart was drawn by a pair of magnificent blacks , Mike and Barney. Poor Mlko and Barney died together nnd died in harness. An alarm had been rung in from the northern part of the city aud No. 2 was tearing down the street like the wind. When opposite the Esmond hotel , nnd while the blacks were straining every muscle and striking showers of sparks from the paycmentan obstruction was encountered and Baruoy nnd Mike went down and the cart on top of them. Ono was killed ou the spot and the other had to bo shot. The team now used was then purchashcd which , though not the heaviest nor fastest in the service , are flue , intelligent animals rjTho men who have captained No. 2 under the present system are Bill Hyan , Joe Vander- voort , John Barnes , Ted Grebe nnd Mike Carter , the present captain , who has lately taken unto himself a wife. The other mem bers of the company are single , nnd the en gine house is their home , nnd there , day nnd night , they are to bo found on duty week In u d week out the year round. Each man gets twelve hours off in the week , but even then ho is compelled to respond to nn alarm. They modestly protest that this little twelve hours should bo absolutely their own. own.To To realize the training of a fireman It Is necessary to sco him at work , to bo in the sta tion when the alarm is turned in aud ride with him to the lire. Let it bo in the dead of night. The city is asleep , save for the occasional sharp ring of a footstep on the sidewalks. Up stairs in No. 2 cnglno house in each of the six white covered cots is an occupant sleeping as soundly as if lives were tilings of the past. Close beside each cot Is a combina tion pair of punta and rubber boots which can bo drawn on with u slnglo motion. The horses , Harry nnd Jasper are usleup In their stalls or uulctly munching thelroats. Queen , the captain's English bull terrier is asleep iu her arm chair and dreaming of the silver cup she won nt the bench show. Someone away out near Loavenworlh street , maybe , pulls the lever in the olectrlo alarm box. This Is what happens In No. 2. The great brass gong clangs out the num ber. At the first stroke nud simultaneously , the sleeping firemen uro into their boots and pants with a bound and down the sliding brass polo ono on top of the , other. The horses are under the harness waiting for them , They had hoard the first stroke also nnd knew what was wanted. At the muno instant , the doora to each stall flow wide open , the halters uu- fastened nnd a couple of black-snako auto matic whips whistled through the air , but an instant too lute to strike their hips. A quick Jerk and the harness is in place , the men In their places , the doors open , and in alx seconds from the time the lover is pulled at the box , the men nnd horses liavo sprung from their dreams to the street and uro tearIng - Ing away to the flro while Queen guards the station until they return. About the fastest record they have made was when in ono minute and thirty seconds after the alarm sounded , the men were at the Mlllard hotel and hud ! ISO feet of hose laid.

Mr. Llghtner rushed out of the church nnd made uu un successful attempt ut suicide by the laudanum route. * A'brcach of promise suit for $30,000 dam ages has been brought by Mrs. Elizabeth Dolllvor against William M. Atkinson , both of Provincetown , Mass. The plaintiff is sixty-eight years of age , while the defendant is spventv-two and tbo wealthiest resident of Provincetown. Mrs. Dolllvcr claims that the defendant proposed marriage ; that she accepted , but that after she had prepared her wedding trousseau defendant denied that any engagement hud been made. Much excitement has been created In New Haven social circles by a petition for divorce illed by the wife of Yan Phon Lee , the son of n Chinese nobleman who graduated from Yale in 1887. Their marriage created n great social stir at the time it occurred. The bride was Miss Elizabeth Maud Jerome , a hand- somonnd talented young lady of Now Haven. Mrs. Yan Phon Leo charges infidelity on the part of her almond-eyed lord. Society in Fair Haven , Conn. , is worked up to n keen pitch on account of a December nnd May wedding , the contracting parties being Mr. Job Clarke , u well-to-do grocer aged sev enty-four years , and Miss Cora M. Bucking ham , aged twenty-two. Miss Buckingham is a resident of Clinton. The courtship has been brief. This is Mr. Clarke's fourth matrimo nial experience. The children and grand children of Mr. Clarke objected to the mar riage nt llrst , but finding objection useless they liavo granted full consent. After seven months of married life Mrs. Isabella Martin of Baltimore obtained nn ab solute divorce frcftn her husband , George Martin. She was a widow when she married him and prominent in social circles. They had been playmates in childhood nnd sweet hearts in their youth. They then drifted apart , and she married Dr. T. Clay Mnddox , who was killed in an election riot in 1HS1. Five years later she met the lover of her girl hood in Atlanta , Ga. , and after twenty-four hours' courtship , they were married. But they were ill-mated and their love dream was never realized. A remarkable wedding recently took place near Laurel Fork in Boone county , West Virginia. The contracting parties wore James Sovall and Mrs. Amy Tcrrcnco. The groom , who was a widower , but had outlived his children , was 101 years old , and the bride , a willow , also without encumbrance , was eighty-three. The best man was eighty-one years old and the bridesmaid seventy-eight. The bride nnd groom nro still quite sprightly for their age. The affair was widely attended and is the talk of the entire stato. The bride was dressed in a handsome silk gown made sixty-four veal's ago on the occasion of her former marriage. The following queer document In the mar riage contract line was filed inthe recorder's ' olllce nt San Francisco recently signed by H. F. Ebers nnd Ncllio J. Leiiont : "Recognizing the eternal laws of nature and that marriage is the right relation of the sexes ; recognizing also the natural equality of woman , and be lieving that her advent upon this planet was the same ns that of man , not as recorded in the Christian bible , and believing in neither the Christian nor other gods ; we , by these presents make known to all whom it may con cern , wo hereby assume the relationship of husband nud wife , and mutually agree to love and cherish each other through life if wo pos sibly can.
