The debate on the silver bill will commence In the scnato In earnest tomorrow morning and is likely to last for several weeks. The republicans have not yet reached an agreement and they are not likely to do so. Tbo situation is the same as it has been all along , at least eight or ten republican sen ators insisting that the time has como for the congress of the United States to declare in favor of a double standard of money and to make silver equal in all Its qualities to gold. This will postpone the consideration of the bills for the admission of Wyoming and Idaho Into mid summer and may imperil their pas sage altogether , although It is believed the republican leaders will prolong the session in order to make these two new states. Senator Vest explains that his opposition to the consideration of tbo bill according to the republican programme last Wednesday was on account of the desire of SenatorBlack- > . burn to make a speech against the admission of Idaho , and the latter was absent in' Ken tucky. For moro important reasons the dem ocrats will do every thing they can to postpone nnd defeat the consideration of this bill , which Is regarded as a party measure. In the event that Wyoming nnd Idaho are ad mitted and the leading candidates for the United States senate are elected , the next session of congress will see n large number of the appointees of President Arthur in the senate chamber. CONVICT LABOn The house committee'on labor has under consideration several bills that are of im portance to workmen throughout the coun try. The two bills that carry with them the most interest are on the subject of convict labor , one measure prohibiting the sale of any goods manufactured by convict labor and the other prohibiting convict labor from entering into competition with free labor. Mr. Wade. the chairman of the committee , feels assured that both measures will be passed during the present session of congress. Another bill before the same committee of hardlj less ititprcst is that which provides for the payment of all laborers and others em- played by the government for all the time over eight hours a day thcv may have worked fj since the passage of the cight-hour law in IKS. This bill carries with it an appropria tion of ,000,000 , and it is very doubtful whether it will ever receive consideration at the hands of the house , although the labor committee will report it favorably at an early date. The opposition comes from the com mittee on rules , which has exclusive control of the time of the house , and which is opposed to assigning n date for its consideration be cause of the appropriation of ? 5,000,000 pro posed by the buL NOT SUCH A WALKOVER. The democratic forces are considerablv > weakened in tuo tariff debate by the absence of Mr. Carlisle , who is now In Kentucky look- " in ? after bl-s.ectiono { | ! the United "States senate. Ho promised to'Joturn to Washington when the five-minuto ds'iatc commences and tSke the leadershln of the democratic side , but the news received here from Kentucky shows that he may not return till the end of the week Mr Carlisle expected to have a walkover for the United States senate. Three years ago ho could have been elected without opposition , but ho was then speaker of the house and preferred ihe position to being a senator for six years. Now that he is out of the speakershiu and wants to be senator ho finds that the place is not so easy to reach. Letters received bore yesterday nnd today report an entirely differ ent state of things from that expected and predict that the senatorial contest in Ken tucky may bo prolonged for several weeks and become very lively before the end is reached. TEMPTIXO THE CEXSt'S MEV. Advices have been received by Superin tendent Porter of the census bureau , that the enumerators in some of the western cities have been approached by real estate boomers nnd offered tempting bnoos to falsify their re- > * Jurns so as to make the population appear larpor than it was. In fact especial complaint to this effect came from St Paul , which wants to make a better showing than Minne apolis , its rival. A bill will be introduced in congress tomorrow making such proi > ositions to enumerators a penal offense , and making it also a penal offense to falsify the figures. AltTHUn'S KNOWLEDGE OF MEN. The men who were appointed to federal oftlces in the territories by President Arthur have idl had very good luck nnd their subse quent careers have been un endorsement of bis judgment in making selections. Ho was often complained of because of his delibera tion , but no president was ever so careful in Investigating the character and capacity of those he entrusted with high responsibility. Gilbert A. Pierce , who was made governor bv him is now United States senator A. C. Melletto , whom ho sent from Indiana to be register of the land oflico at Water-town , is governor of South Dakota. G C. Moody , whom he appointed justice of the territorial court , Is senator from South Dakota. Watson C. Squire , who was appointed governor of Washington , is now senator from that state nud J. L. Wilson , whom bo sent out from In diana to be receiver of public monies itt Spokane Falls , is a representative from Aashington. . Dubois , who Is now delegate from Idaho and will be uno of the senators when the state Is admitted , was selected as United States marshal of that territory , nud George L. Schoiip , who is likely to be the other senator , was appointed governor. The two senators from Wyoming , It is admitted , will bo Carey and Warren. The former was made United States district attorney by Arthur and the latter governor. There was never n moro remarkable record. Three of Arthur's cabinet are dead Frelinghnvscn , , Urcwstfr nnd Folxer two.TCllerandL'hand- t.81 % are lu the senate. Lincoln is minister to Kngland and Gn.hain Judjjo of the United States district court. ETANIXIKD LIKES HOT ? . Senator Stanford is very fond of bovs and prefers their society to that of people' his own age. The jaeos of the senate have a particular attraction for him and he never falls to use nn opportunity to add to their comfort nnd enjoyment. On Christmas days thev always receive u handsome preoent from him. On Thanksgiving day he gives them a dinner , on the Fourth of July they have some kind of a remembrance nnd one or two times a year they are invited to his house to dine. U bee dinners are Just as flue as he would provide for his senatorial associates The bill of fanis made up of the delicacies most alluring to the boyish palates. During ami after the dinner the senator usually pro vides some form of vnteruUnurenl , aua last night when their spring duiner was piven they had recitations aud music of a high c < r- dor.

TASKED T1IE SENATE. In the soon to lat * yesterday afternoon Senator Paddock called tip and secured the p s flre of his Mil , which passed the house on Mnrch 10 , amending section 3,201 of the rcrl l statutes as follows : "In any case in which the applicant for the benefit of the Itoinestend pre-emption , timber culture , or de wt land laws is prevented by reason of distress , bodily infirmity or other good cause from personal attendance at the district land odlcc , he or she may make the aftldavit re quired by law before any commissioner of the United States drcuit court or the clerk of n court of record fpr the county In which the land is situated and transmit the same with the fee arid commission * to the register and receiver.

For each deposition of a claimant or witness prepared by the officer 51 shall bo paid. Any officer demanding or receiving a greater "sum for such service shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished for each offense by n fine not exceeding $100. " XOT AS ATTCK OX ELAINE. Private Secretary Halford is very much amused at the attempt to construe his recent spocch on the international American confer ence at Indianapolis as an attack upon Secre tary Blaine. The fact is that he obtained all the information contained in this speech from a document published by the state depart ment with the secretary's approval. Mr. Blaine has never claimed to be the author of tbo scheme for holding an International con ference , nnd it would have been folly for him to do so , because the historical fact that a conference was called By Simon Bollivar is so well established. It is inter esting to know that the secretary is having prepared for publication by con gress a collection of all the documents on file in the state department relating to this sub ject. Clerks are now engaged in copying the correspondence between President John Quincy Adams and Bolivar , with reference to the congress that was held at Panama in 1S25 and the subsequent meeting at Mexico in 1S29. These documents have been buried in the archives of the department and in the journal of the executive proceedings of the" senate and only the most measure abstracts of their contents have been given to the public , but within the next few months the whole scries will bo In printed form and make a most valuable and interesting contribution to the political history of the hemisphere MISCELLANEOUS. Notwithstanding the fact that several per sons have been mentioned as likely to succeed Mr. Clarkson as first assistant postmaster general the president has not yet considered the subject. In fact he has not received Mr. Clarkson's resignation and still hopes to per suade him to continue in office. Mr. Clark- son's first intention was to leave his office on Juno 1 , but he nas now postponed bis resigna tion until the 80th of that month , which is the end of the fiscal vear , and both the president and Postmaster General Wanainaker are in hopes that he may be induced to remain. S. HEATH. MA TICIIS IX SOVTII DAKOTA. A Correspondent AVrltes of Proliibi- lion , Politics nnd Crops. YAXKTOS , S. D. , May 11. [ Special to THE BEE. ] The republican state com mittee yesterday named Mitchell as the place and August 27 as the time for the convention to nominate candidates for state officers and congressmen. There is a large number of aspirants for state offices nnd for seats in congress and the time from now until the meeting of the convention will bo made lively in repairing and fixing up po litical fences. The democrats are to nom inate Juno 11 and will have some two months and n half tbo start , but the republicans of South Dakota believe in short campaigns nnd in quick , effective nnd decisive work. Their ticket will all be elected , but the strong prejudices created by prohibition , cs } > ecially amongst the foreign-born voters , will no doubt cut down the majority materially. There has been a little over a week o'f prac tical prohibition , not a drop to be had for love or money , and truth comi > els the statement that a large majority of the people do not like it. There is a large foreign population in this city and country and most of them have been accustomed to drink their beer , though sober , industrious , good citi 'ens and they do not like to have it cut off. The merchants and shopkeepers complain of slack business and attribute It to prohibition , nnd if the law bo rigidly enforced it is predicted that a largo part of the valuable trade we have heretofore had from Nebraska counties across the river will go to the small towns in Cedar nnd Knox counties. In the meantime the lawyers are giving their "opin ions" and opinions are flowing in on us from Iowa and the chances are that "original package" joints will soon soothe the palates of those who thirst. Perhaps no town in South Dakota will suffer as much on account of en forced prohibition as Yankton , for the reason that two breweries , two bottling works and ono largo v > holesalo house pave employment to a number of people and gathered In a" large trade from the outside. There have been abundant rains here last night and today , and no doubt generally throughout South Dakota , and the crop pros pects are simply splendid. If the irrigation committee doesn't come in out of the rain it will get wet. Notwithstanding the temporary depression the future of Yankton was never so bright , We shall have a good crop ; the immense cement works will turn out product In July , and the completion of the road from Sioux Falls to Ynnkton is confidently predicted before October 1. Besides , real estate is brisk and prices are advancing. . THE COLV-VItf. - EXUIBITIOX. Consolidation of Organizations to As- hist the World's Fair Association. CHICAGO , May 11. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] The various state associations organized for the purpose of assisting the World's Fair nssocia'lon of Chicago com pleted their consolidation til last night's meet ing. After the adoption of the constitution the election of officers was taken up. J. B. Paine nominated Judge Tolman of Ohio. J. T. Sutherland nominated the temporary chair man , E. B , Sherman. The result of the bal lot gave 23 votes to Mr. Sherman and 23 to Mr. Tolman. In returning his thanks to the association Mr. Tolman said that the position to which he had K en elected should neither be solii-ited nor declined. In importance it takes no second place in tbo lU.t of those working for the SUCIXSIBS of the world's fair. The state organization goes straight to the heart of every person in the country. The orgauuauon he said meant hard work , nor was it r.n ornament to be attached to any in corporated or appointed body. Every state , however poor , or however great , must have a representation at the world's fair worthy of it * character. How this can be done was" , he thought , the object of the association. He expected a list of the member * of the state legiskituroc of every state U be pnsentod at the next iwUup. It was through these state leralauiroe that appropriations must be ob tained to bring a ivprvstutaUou to Chicago , Every newspaper of every state roust be in- iiuatu * * ! by th orattizaiiou to influooo * in thair t4iru tb legUluture to faVur this ap propriation. .

DES MOINES R1TEB LAND SETTLERS. Tliclr Case Will Soon Come Up In Coqrt Congrecsmen And Rcnomlnn- lion "Original Packages" State Politics. DES MOIXES , la. , Slay 11. [ Special to THE BEE. ] The Iowa shippers arc waiting with some Impatience to sec what the railroad managers are going to Jo about joint rates. The conference between the comfalssioners nnd the committee representing the roads the other day resulted In no definite arrange ment , though it seemed to bo the understand ing that the roads would refuse to put in Joint rates ; but since then they secin to have reached another conclusion. Solicitor Wright of the Rock Island informs the com missioners that the roads are disposed to put in some joint tariffs right away. They will do this under the permission contained in the first section of the so-called joint rate law. In doing so they do not take any action re garding the other sections of the law , evi dently intending to reserve all their rights in case they decide to make a contest. The law has a voluntary and involuntary section. The former simply permits the roads to put in joint rates if N they choose to do so. They could not under the railway law- passed two years ago. The other section pro vides that in case they refuse to. put in joint rates , when such rates are requested , the commissioners may make out a schedule of joint rates and compel them to adopt it. It is this compulsory feature to which the roads object. They say they are willing under some circumstances to put in force joint rates , but they are not willing to do so whenever any shipper may ask for them , for it would greatly discourage their business to do so. The letter of Mr. Wright would indicate that they will put in some joint rates at one ? , using their own Judgment as to where they are needed for the benefit of the public. After that is done. If more joint rates arc demanded there is likely to be a fight before they will be es tablished. The roads say that they are will ing to accommodate the public when a general accommodation would result by a joint rate tariff , but that the state has no right to com pel an Involuntary partnership between the roads when they are unwilling to make joint rates and do not believe it will be for the in terest of the public to make them. The com missioners , however , insist that in a matter of this kind any citizen is the public and is en titled to have what he wants. They say that the roads can be compelled and should be re quired to put in joint rates whenever any shipper finds that his business will be injured by outside competition unless joint rates are made. DCS MOISTS IUVEKL AXD'SETTLERS. One of tie most important cases to be tried at the coming term of the United States dis trict court is that of the Des Moines river land settlers. It has been in litigation a great many vears and is now in a fair way to reach a finish. . The evictions of settlers from those lands In Webster county some time ago has tened proceedings by calling public attention to the pressing necessity for a settlement of this trouble. Attorney General Stone was appointed to assist the United States attor ney general and represent the state in this case. He has been engaged for some time in preparing the trial. The pleading and evi dence in the case make a large volume ol five or six hundred pares. The cause will be beard either at Fort Dodge or Des Moines. "ORIGINAL PACKAGES. " The supreme court decision in the "original package" case has created a great stir in the state. Many stores for the sale of liquor in the original package have already been opened. At least one prosecution for the sale of such packages has been begun and dis missed since the decision was made. That was a case from Brooklyn in Poweshiek county. The evidence showed sales of liquor in the bottle , an original package , by a consumer or his agent The court promptly dismissed the case , holding that the trausae- , lion was legal under the supreme court de cision. It is expected , however , that there will be some attempts made to sell small bottles tles of liquor to be reopened and drank upon the premises jn the old saloon style. If there are. there will undoubtedly bo arrests to get a judicial opinion as to what that decision really means. Many lawyers insist that it does not mean that the prohibitory law could thus be nullified. Others insist that it docs , and t construction or interpretation of that decision by the Iowa supreme court would be very ac ceptable at this time. lOViJt COXGItESSSTES. At least two Iowa congressmen are going to have considerable opposition In their candi- dacv for re-nomination. These are Judge Keed in the Ninth district , and Mr. Flick In the Eighth district. It is thought , however , that Judge Heed will not make a fight for a re-nomination , but if he finds that there is any considerable opposition to him he will be disposed to step down and gracefully retire. He was unfortunate in the disposition of the patronage of his district , and made many op ponents at the very outset of his career. Ho is not a politician by nature or experience , and he has consequently found his path n rough one in trying to satisfy all elements of the party in his district. Ho is very highly regarded at Washington , and the party gen erally would be glad to sec him returned. Mr. Flick is going to have some serious op position to his re-nomination , also. He has had trouble In locating the postmasten hips and clerkships to the satisfaction of every body. Soon alter bo was elected he about concluded that ho would not bo a candidate for re-election , and so was not as particular as he might have been to please evary one by stroking the fur the right way. Ho made a good many enemies , chiefly among those who were disappointed in their desire for offices , and they are now clamoring for his scalp. It Is a fair guess that he will bo reiforaiuatcd after all , and Judge Keed also , cpecially If a few moro candidates como out against them. Jn the First district Congressman Gear will bo rcnominated without opposition. In tlie Second Mr. Hayes , the only demo crat from Iowa , will have some opposition in his own party. In tbo Third Colonel Henderson will be re- nominated , although there has been a little muttering from a few discontented and dis satisfied jiostoftice candidates. In the Fourth Colonel Sweney will bo given the usual second term. In the Fifth Mr. Kerr declines a ronomlna- tion. There are several republican candi dates , but Colonel Parker of Marshalltown seems to be in the lead. In the SKth Major Laccy will have no op position for a Denomination. His work as chairman of the congressional committee investigating the Clayton case in Arkansas is giving him much prominence and will strengthen him in his homo district. In the Seventh Major Conger declines a re- noininatiou. Cuptwin Hull , late lieutenant governor , will be the republican nominee. TJio Eighth Is Flick's district and the Ninth i Judge Item's. Mr. Dolliver will be renominated by accla mation in the Tenth dUtriet and Mr.'Struble would like to be in the Eleventh. Ho has had four terms and he stands a fair chance of getting a fifth , HIE STATE TICKET.

Mr , Pray , clerk of the supreme court , is a candidate for re- nomlnation , and will probaWj succeed , though he has several opponents. They are Hopkins of Boone , Lane of Sac and Stookev of Deca- tur. There are two or three candidates for supreme court reporter , ineltiiiini : the present incumbent , Mr. Ebersole , and Mr. Neal of Adalr county and Mr. Raymond of Polk county. There is no opposition to the renom- ination of Judge Bostwick to the supreme court. KISS W1LUHD IS IOWA. A good deal of interest Is being taken in Miss Frances Wlllard's tour over Iowa. She has not boon in the state since 1RM , but since the Iowa Women's Christian Temperance union abandoned the national 'Vt omen's Christian Temperance union , because It was committed to the third party prohibitionists , sbo thinks it worth while to do some pros elyting. So she has arranged a speaking tour in a number of cities of the state. Her public addresses are on social purity , and her private talk is in favorof standing by the old national organization. Her purpose Is manifestly to try and keep the Iowa women from joining the new non-partisan Women's Christian Temperance union , of which Mrs. J. Ellen Foster Is a leading light The Iowa Women's Christian Temperanceuiiion has been aklcker ever slnco the national union hitched Itself on to the prohibition party. The Iowa women are very suspicious of Miss Willard's present motives In visiting Iowa. She is trying the molasses now , but she tried the vinegar in Ibi" , 1SSS nnd 1SS9. The Iowa women wcro sat down upon very hard in the national con ventions , and they don't like to sec Miss WI1- lord with her honeyed words trying to break In upon their organization now. Miss Willard Is very smooth and sly , and In this contest she is doing all she can to recapture the allegiance of the Iowa women. Father and Son Disappear. HUILAX , la. , May 11. [ Special to THE BEE. ] There is a good deal of talk here as to the disappearance of Mr. James Robinson , a former dairyman of tnls place , together with his son , Jasper Robinson. Several months ago he sold his farm adjoining town nnd was supposed to have sold it for cash. It now transpires that the purchaser got some time on it , but the notes are nowlongpast due and in the hands of n friend of Mr. Robinson for safe keeping. No one cecms to have been aware of their departure nnd numerous in quiries have reached here from his relatives , none of whom have had any information of his whereabouts since ho left. It is feanJd that the money ho was supposed to have received for his f rm had something to do with his sudden disappearance , THE OHIO TOKXADO. About Seventy-Five People Lose Their Homes. AKHOS , O. , May 11. Darkness set In so boon after the tornado that tore through the southern part of the city Saturday evening that not half an idea could be gotten of the fierceness or extent of the terrible storm. It moved in an almost straight line through a well settled part of the city and scarcely a foot of the mile and a half but is strewn to day with splintered house timbers , broken furniture , uprooted trees nnd leveled barns and outhouses. In the trip over the storm's path today nineteen dwellings were conn ted cither ripped into kindling-wood or so badly wrecked that they cannot bo occupied. Twenty families , numbering about seventy-five persons arc out of house and home and are beingsheltered by friends. Of eighteen persons injured , all will probably recover. Seventy-five buildings , Including residences and barns and outhouses , were damaged by the wind and not one escaped that was in the direct line of the tornadn , Uprooted trees are counted "by the score.jt Outhouses In some cases were transplanter from fifty to one hundred feet and set down in neighboring yards. < * fc { Thousands of people visited tnesceno of de struction today. In several churches relief papers were started and- several thousand dollars will be raised for the immediate wants of the homeless people. William Poole and daughter , who had Just driven Into their barn , were caught up with the building and rolled with it to the bottom of the hill , on which it stood. That no lives wore lost is most wonderful. In many instances families escaped by taking refuge 'in cellars. A PAIR OF IILACK EYES. They Were Not Pretty , However , and Thereby Hangs This Tnle. NEwYoHK , May 11. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] Raymond Carroll , the son of Mayor Carroll , of Rochester , N. Y. , was held today for trial in 5300 bail on the charge of assaulting Judith Torey or Carroll. Miss Torey is the daughter of th late Samuel Torey who was a prominent lawyer in New Orleans , a judge of the supreme court of Louisiana , and the United States district nt- tornev at New Orleans. Ho died three years ago { n an insane asylum , leaving Judith jyo.000. as her share of the estate. In Rochester she and Carroll became intimate and would have married , but for the opposi tion of his folks , who were Catholics , while she was a Protestant , They decided to live together anvhow. They went to Europe and the girl paid the bills. Miss Torey avers that during the last sixteen mouths ho has spent $15,000 of her money in gambling. On Iay 3 Carroll , while on a spree , struck her and blackened both of her eyes. It was on this charge she had him arrested. It A XD OLPH'S VISA VJPEA It A XCE. The Ei-President of the Chicago Board of Trade Missing. CHICAGO , May 11. [ Special Telegram to TUB BEE. ] The gravest anxiety is being caused by the prolonged mystery which sur rounds the disappearance of Charles Ran dolph , ex-president of the Chicago board of trade. Mr. Randolph disappeared April 23. Ho was subject to fits of despondency and it is reported that he recently said to a friend that he should go away from his home where none of his associates should ever hear of him. On the afternoon of the day ho disap peared P. J. Lake of Evanston met Mr. Ran dolph on the Wells street bridge going toward the Chicago & Northwestern passen ger depot at about 4 or 51o'clocJc. . Mr. Lake took a train for Evanston' , but says Mr. Ran dolph was not on the can. It is "thought by many that Mr. Randolph started to carry out his idea of disappearing and took ono of the western trains and may , have gone to the Rocky mountains , California or &omo other far away point. i A Wnr on Kansas Joints. KANSAS Cm , Mo. , May 11. [ Special Tele gram to THE BEE. ] The original package de cision has aroused the prohibition police of Kansas to such on extent that a systematic war is to be made upon all keepers of original package joints. A special from Leavemvorth says : "This city is soon to experience a crusade against liquor sellers , thq like of which has never been written in iu history. This worn- ing Police Commissioner Lowe demanded of Marshal Doane and his patrolmen the names of all persons who bad taiun out joint license and liquor permits within six months , the lo cation of all Joints or suspected placs of that kind , and the names and plaees of all persons against whotn injunctions havt > bean issued. " Other Kansas towns report similar action , and until the original package question is set tled there will be a marry war. Congressional Programme. WASHINGTON , May 11.

Just about as enthusiastic a game of ball as one would care to see was that played at the local park yesterday afternoon between Omaha and Kansas City. It was nn up-hill fight for Andrews' lads but they won it nobly. The contest was decidedly tropical from the very beginning , nnd the two teams played for all they were worth. The lagest crowd of the season was in at tendance , but there wasn't a man there , un less ho was from Kansas City , but who got the worth of his money , The grand stand was pocked and the bleacheries running over , while a line of car riages and buggies lined the outfield. In fact , there was in the neighborhood of 4,000 people there. And all to see a game of ball. Truly , there Is an irresistible magnetism in the great sport. Sommers started in for Omaha , but only lasted three innings. In that time five hits were made off of him and eight runs. His fielding was wretched. At the end of the third he was taken out of the game , and Wil lis brought in from the field , Canavnn taking Willis' place , and Fanning Canavan's. The cowboys , too , found it necessary about this.iimc to change twiriers , for Bell , at the end of four innings had been hit safely nine times and eight runs scored off of him. Elmer Smith exchanged places with him , but fared little better. Omaha's change , how ever , worked like a charm , for Willis only gave the visitors three hits and three runs. But the game. When Umpire Henderson called "play" Canavan stepped to the plate and drove the ball to far left. Smith was there but he muffed and Jimmy reached third on the error. Then there was a great roar when Willis hit the ball way out to the northwest corner of the city fora clean home run. The next three men were quietly retired. For the visitors Hoover went out to An drews. Then Sommors gave both Bums and Smith their bases on balls and the very fresh Mr. Stevens made a home run. And so the Cowboys were ono ahead , Omaha was speedily retired in the second , but on Niok Smith's three cushion drive and Hoover's out to Urquahart , Kansas City got in another tally. Another blank for the locals in the third , but in her half , Kansas Citv had a circus. Poet Burns , much to his discomfiture , struck out , and the bleachers guyed him un mercifully.- Elmer Smith made a single , stole second and Sommers' muff ' on pfSteanis' pop up , went to third. Then old Hickory Carpenter , a relic of the tertiary age. walked np and smashed out a two-bagger Smith and Stearns scoring. Man ning was given a life by Urquahart's error , and Nickodemus Smith sent both runners over the plate with bis second safe rap. Bell ended the agony by going out to An drews. Omaha came in subduedly for her fourth , but if the Cowboys had a circus in the third she had a bigger ono now. Andrews , Clarke , Walsh and Moran hit for a single" in quick succession , the first two scoring , but Joe was caucht at the plate try ing to score on Moran's hit Urquahart's liner was neatly captured by Carpenter , and Sommers was "thrown out" by the pitcher. Then Canavan made a home ran , driving the ball over left field fence , Willis a two bagger and Kearns a single , and six runs was the result. ' It tied the score and how the people did shout at that , and the fans showered Canavan with dollars as he came puffing to the bench. Willis now went into the box , and it looked as if he , too , was booked for a roast. Donahoc hit him for a home run , and then after Hoover and Burns had gone out , Elmer Smith got In a three bagger and scored on Andrews' error. Gracious , how sore the crowd was , and how they did growl. In the seventh , however , by some pretty hitting , Omaha tied the score. And everybody smiled again. AVillis made a single , his third hit in the game. Ho stole second , and then after Kearns had fanned , old Erastus Andrews ambled forth. "A homo ran ! " was the cry , Some people want a great deal once in a whRe , don't they ! But the captain was equal to the demand , and catching a swift one just where he wanted It , sent It humming out to the center field fence for a homo run. Cheers ! The grounvibrated with them. And so again the game was tied. Playing ball , weren't they ! Well , things went along quietly until the ninth , when Willis again opened up with n beautiful hit. The middleweight was in great fig , cer tainly. Everybody yelled "good boy , Tit ! " Tommy Kearns followed with n lively bunt , but Willis , in trying to reach third on Andrews' grounder to Smith , was extin guished , and the people cned "oh my 1" "Make him hit it ! " yelled Stearns , as Dad Clarke took his position at tbo bat. Smith did so , and he's sorry for it yet , for Dad drove the sphere way out into left for two sacks and Kearns and Andrews trotted home. Talk about excitement ! Why the crowd couldn't sit still. Then Joe Walsh hit another just like it , but Clarke got no farther than third , nnd some cranks were very much disappointed , but they forgot this In the next moment , however , for Manning let Moran's hit go through him and both runners came home. Every face In the stand was as bright as a silver dollar , and it was several minutes be fore the uproar subsided. Kansas City made a super-human effort in her half , but the most she could do , was to get In ono more little paUlod tally , and the battle was over. Grand , wasn't ill The score : OMttl AD. II. IB.

A Mother's Inhuman Treatment of Her Two Little Girl1 ? . Bixcon , Me. , May 11. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] A shocking case of child tor ture is reported from Oldtown. a dozen miles up the river. Fred Sawyer and wife , with two little daughters , eight and ten years old , live in a little white frame bouse on the outskirts of Oldtown. Saw yer himself is not regarded as a particularly vicious man , but his wife is a veritable fiend. It has long been known to the neighbors that , the little girls were not well treated , but last week it was learned that they were subjected almost daily to shocking abuse , the oldest , M3"rtie , being es pecially maltreated. Several persons declared that they had seen the mother take Myrtio by the hair , pull it from her bead in handfuls nnd then throw her violently to the ground , while others have seen the unnatural woman strike the child across the face with a club with such- force as to make her uncon scious. Last Saturday night a mob surrounded ' house with the of Sawyer's expectation captur ing him and his wife. They were too late , the couple having got wind of what was going on and skipped from Bangor , leaving the chil dren behind. The oldest child presented a pitiful appear ance , her frail little body being covered with cuts , sores and bruises , from head to foot. The left wrist was broken nnd the arm fractured , while tbo bridge of the nose was smashed in as though by a blow from a club. It was found that the wrist and arm had been broken six weeks before by the mother throwing the child heavily to the ground and then kicking her. No attention was paid to the child's sufferings , the savage mother threatening her with instant death if sbo did not stop crying , and , moreover , the helpless victim was told that sbo would cer tainly be killed if she complained to any ono of her treatmentNqt content with this , the tigress actually sank her teeth repeatedly into the arms and body of her victim. The girl's clothing became glued to the flesh with clots of blood , and the physician who was called was obliged to use warm water to remove the garments. The Decision * Reversed.

The circuit court has reversed two decrees of the common pleas court , one for the appointment of a re ceiver for the .Etna Iron works company of Lawrence county , of which Adolph Pleuaner of this city is president , and another for the dissolution of the company.

A convention of republicans will bo he'd at Bohanan's hall in Lincoln on May 30 , IfW , at 7:80 : p. m. , for the pnrpow of coraoltntlon nnd to devise the best method of wresting the control of the republican party from the hands of railroad conwratlons of this state. To prevent , if posMble ; a repetition of the outrages perpetrated by the railroad corpora tions at tbo Hastings convention last fall , in controlling jhe convention through the proxy system ; nnd to transact such other business as may be found" necessary to give effcxt to this object and benefit the masses of the state by providing a remedy for existing evils All republican voters in sympaty with this movement are invited to bo present. Republican papers please copy this call D. M. NETTU-TO.V , CHUILES K. KECKIT , Wiu.1 IM LEEE , J. It.Siiiiciii.iNn , J. R. BALIAUD , Committee , Lorenzo Croun c on the Coniontloii. Judge Lorenzo Crounse w.ts called &n by a representutlvo of THE BEE at his home in Calhoun. He was actively engaged In prepara tions for the tour to Eurojw ujvn n'liich ho expects to start Thursday next. Ho will bo accompanied abroad by his daughters , Grt'telicn and Marianne , and will spnd three months in visiting- places of interest abroad. In res ] > onso to qui > ; lous regarding the duty of the anti-monopoly conference , Judge Crounse said : "Tlio dual relation which railroads hold toward the public , first as public highways and secondly as commercial enterprises , must , very naturally , result in more or lca conflict between the roads and the people. This conflict , while it has been quite general throughout the states , so much so as to have routed the action of congress to the enact ment cf an interstate commerce law , has 'been growing more and more intense in No- oraska , till it has become the ono great ab sorbing political questionTt.o conflict has been especially active here because of the extent of the transactions which must neces sarily arise between the railroads looking to their commercial into rest on the one hand , nnd an-agricultural people raising immense crops of cheap products at a long dist.inco from market and importing their weighty fuel , lumber and supplies , on the other More than all , the condition has been aggra vated by the active , persistent , and I may say. outrageous interference of the railroads , particularly the Union Pacific and Burling ton , In 'the practical policies of the state. This has not only brought with it so much of debauchery and corruption as to bo a menace to good government and a source of concern to all well disposed citizens , but has aroused such a feeling of retaliation as may. In the end , prove very damaging , and even unjust to the roads. "As commercial enterprises , intent on getting the greatest gains , they have resisted any legislation or regulation in behalf of the public which threatened to lessen the divi dends of their non-resident owners. A cor poration like the Union Pacific railroadwhose birth was attended by fraud and national scandal , and the construction 3f whose rood was a little short of organized robbery , has resolved to permit nothing to interfere with its operating it for all there is in it. So it has conceived it cheaper to corrupt and prostitute the sources of power than submit to even just regulation "Years ago , when in congix-as , 1 introduced a bill requiring the railroads to pay taxes on the millions of acres , the value of which was daily enhanced by the levy made on the prop erty of adjoining settler ? , and was fortunate enough to see it puss the branch to which 1 belonged. It died in the senate , however "Later. I lutroducfd another bill having for its purpose the saving of some of the un just tolls exacted for the transportation of freight and passengers over the bridge at Omaha. The might of the Union Pnciflo company had been aroused by my former im pertinence and my second bill met with such a resistance from lobby , committee-room and the floor that it came to a speedy death. From Frvo of Maine to Houghton of California my " bills received the".earnest opposition which would have * done credit tea a high-feed attorney. Frauds like Blair of New Hampahirc , the home of Rol lins , the secretary of the road , a memoer whose excess of virtue takes the direction of temperance , educational bills , and "good-in- tho-coustitution" found in his good heart plenty of jeasons why a poor corporation whoso road was built by the people's money , and whoso empire of land had been donated toll , should not share in the burdens of maintaining the government Not satisfied with thadeath of my hills , the company de manded the political death of their author and President Dillon proclaimed on the street of your city that Mr. Crounse must not bo returaed. Mr. Crounse did not ret urn How much the road contributed to that end , those familiar with the politics of the state , and particularly the boqUlors who , it is known , received pay for their votes in the convention of 1 7)5 ) can tell. "Pardoning the reference to myself which I have Introduced , uot from any fct-Uugs of vanity but rather as a matter of history which may be new to many and perhaps ulttmst for gotten by others , 1 wish toudd that the mithods inaugurated in the early history of the Union Pacific have been improved and applied by the company in the state and copied by Its coadjutor , the Burlington road. When tlio interests of the two were In conflict , the poor ' people , at times , were of consequence enough to hold the balance of power. But , with these differences out of tljc way , the contest between the public and the eori oratioris is nn unequal ono. Not that there Unotviruo and strength enough with the masses to hold them in check , but of want of proper direc tion. The corporations are ever organized. Bright young men throughout the state who show an aptitude for i > olitia ar < reduced , and corrupt men are bought. Ambitious men , good enough when not under fear or temptation , seeing the road to suc cess lying over the railroad track , take that way and swell the crowd. With a small fraction of the moiiej saved from going into the public treasury where it belongs , silver-ton gued orators can be oo"j.bt ( to beguile and mislead the masses Hired ostensibly a * attorneys , their time is given to politics.
