gmm to Tin : Dec. ] Prettier ball playing has
seldom been seen on the Milwaukee grounds
than thnt in the game this afternoon between
the Omaha boys nnd the nrowcrs. It was
narrowly nnd nobly fought until the Inst
jnnn had retired In the Inst inning. Until
that time it wns nobody's game , but when it
was all over1 the Mllwaukces had scratched
out a victory. Funning pitched In phenome
nal form until the eighth , up to which tlmo
only ono.hlt had been found out of his curves.
'Uniunlmrt backed him up In his usual strong
shape. Davies , who has been unusually wild
this season thus fur , did marvelous work ,
only In the third , when the visitors got their
three runs , wns ho hit with any effect.
Fnnnlng opened with a hit. Walsh got to
, first on nn error of the pitcher , nnd then
Kcnnis brought Panning homo with n hit ,
while both came in on n double by Andrews
that would have retired him but
for poor management , Shock fallIng -
Ing to nnmu the man who waste
to catch Andrews' lly. After tills inning
Jlavies wns hit for but two singles. In the
fifth Cannvan nnd Walsh struck out in suc
cession. In the sixth three men wcro fanned
out In one , two , three style , nnd in the sev
enth the university student could have any
thing ho wanted , lie struck out two more
nnd gave the other n pop fly to the second
baseman. The Urewers got their first run In
the second , when Krclg. started , while his
predcccssor'was called out at second , though
Cunnvnn dropped the ball thrown him by
Walsh. Krelffvent to third on Welch's ' lilt
to center llcld for a base and came
home on Willis' wild throw to TJrn.ua-
hurt. Two oiingles und an error of
Hannvan'.i let in nnothor In the
' eight. The Brewers won the game in thu
illnth. Morrissey hit to Walsh and touched
lirst , while Andrews went up in the nir after
the , ball. Alberts followed on a gift. Here
"Old Reliable" ICrcig laid down on the ball
for two Imscri , but was shut off tit thlrdwlien
the three men who followed him were re
tired. The local club put up n great game
in the ninth , and only hard scratching pre
vented the Nobrnskuns pulling the game out.

the dogs and ponies with apparently very
little prompting from the trainer.

NEW YotiK , May 23. [ Special Telegram to
TUB Br.n. ] l { . G.Dunn &Co.'s Weekly Uo-
vlew of Trado. says :
All ordinary buslnesslndlcatlons grow more
fnvorablo. While speculations In some lines
Is nctlvc , possibly ncarlng the point of
danger , It Is undeniable Hint the volume of
legitimate business la Oil the whole greater
than It has been at this season In any previous
your. Money Is comparatively easy and com
mercial credits undisturbed. The volume of
business at New York 1ms been swallowed by
heavy speculation and at Boston salcS of
stocks are three times those of last year. Bank
clearings at Boston , Philadelphia and Chicago
are 20 per cent larger than a year ago , while
the aggregate at all points outside of New
York is 23 per cent above last jrear. The
railroad earnings still tell the siiino story.
The foreign ti-.ulu shows less change , and yet
It Is heavy. Exports In May of thls'year are
14 per cent larger than a year ago and Imports
hero (1 ( per cent larger. In all these compari
sons It Is to bo remembered that last year's
movement was about the largest ever re
corded.
The rcp.orls from other cities are more en
couraging than usittil. At Boston a very
fair business is reported , with money
easy and the lumber trade not affected by the
carpenters' strike. At Philadelphia business
is of fair volume at low prices and money is
plenty and cheap ; iron improves. At Chicago
cage the movement In grain and meats ex
ceeds lost year. The dry goods trade is good ,
though not up to last year. Liberal orders
for boots and shoes and larger sales than for
some time are noted , but there is a slight relapse -
lapse in clothing. The money market is un
changed and the prospect is deemed
good. St. Louis reports favorably
as to nearly all Hues of trade ,
with money in good demand. At
Milwaukee and St. Paultrado is good and bus
iness at Omaha and Kansas City is up to the
average , with some dullness at Detroit be
cause of the cool weather. But at that and
nil other reporting points this week collec
tions are fair , the money markets arc undis
turbed and there is apparently much conil-
denco In the Immediate commercial feature.
The great industries also look better , and
even at Pittslmrg , where the recent decline
in Iron was felt more , there Is a decided im
provement , Pittsburg oeing higher
and Bessemer fully § 1 per ton , with manu
factured iron stronger. At Philadelphia prices
are slightly improved. Nothing favorable
can be reported of the woolen manufacture or
the trade in woolens , except that makers ap
pear to have adjusted thoinselvcij to the situa
tion. and though Vjiying only for present
needs , are still buying with the hope that a
change in the tnriffiinay loosen foreign com
petition.
In the speculative Inarkets wheat has been
stronger , rising 2 ieflts on sales of 33,000,000 ,
bushels here , anil the exports continue fair.
Corn has declined. , nearly 1 cent and
oats risen osi much. Pork products
are all a shade lower and coffee
unchanged , butoJrhns ! risen over fie and
cotton 7-1 Co. In genpral the prices of pro
ducts are lower tfiali a week ago and will
naturally decline us < now crops approach.
The business failures during the last seven
days number 222-03 , compared with 212 last
week. For the corresponding time last year
the ilgurcs were 229.

The Southern Quest ion Settled and the
"West Vindicated.
BOSTON , May 23' Prpmincnt gentlemen
from all parts of the state were present in
large numbers this afternoon to meet First
Assistant Postmaster General Clurkson , who
was the guest of the Norfolk eUib. Several
speeches were made , among them one by Mr.
Clurkson , who spoke interestingly upon the
southern question , civil service reform and
the tariff. The speaker , referring to the
"The nation is now facp to face with the
question whether in its sovereign power it
shall allow Georgia , South Carolina or any
state to prevent an American citizen from ex
ercising his constitutional right to vote. "
On the tariff and the west the speakersaid :
"The claim that the northwest is for free
trade is not true. In the last republican na
tional convention the cast said the west must
stand n stronger protection plank. . The west
accepted it and the best protectionist in the
United States today is the western farmer.
Free trade has sought audaciously to set up
its empire in the northwest , but it will fail.
As a western man , I resent the pity bestowed
upon the western pioneer. Ho 'is passing
through a temporary depression and ho will
come out of it by his strength and wisdom.
"I have spoken of the past ; lotus turn to
tlio future. I believe it is republican. But
the party of today is rallying on faith rather
than works. The opposition takes on now
form and power. It is ceaseless in its ac
tivity. Republicans everywhere should unite
in extending the circulation of republican
papers. This may bo treason to the inde
pendent press , but it is loyalty to the republi
can party and that means , I believe , loyalty
to the republio itself. "

"Washington Notes.
WASIIINOTO.V , May 23. Ex-Senator Mo-
Donald made a motion today before the supreme
premo court for a rehearing of the Mormon
case and to vacate the mandate. The court re
fused a rehearing , but allowed the latter part
of the motion. It was satisfied the conclusions
reached wcro correct , but not the term of

advisement until next term. It is under
stood the object is to ascertain if there bo not
some method by which the monev accumu

few moments before It o'clock , with Jack
Ryan handling the towel for the saffron
yoath , and Jimmy Llndsav for the black.
"Red" O'Nell and Tom Bitterson held the
chronometers.
Time wns called nt 11 , nnd the two men
sprang to the center of the ring. There was
but little preliminary sparring1 , the two men
jumping into each other , hammer and tongs ,
from the very outset. There were two min
utes of terrific slugging , the local mnn hnvlng
a simile the best of. The round closed with u
general manoouvorliig for wind.
The second round opened .up sim

claimed n foul , which was allowed.

raged Lindsay , Williams' backer , and rush

could "do" nnv man in the house. The defy
was taken up by Tim O'Henrn , n burly pack

to test Jimmy's veracity , and thonoxt moment
they were nt it. After a round of
desperate fighting , in which O'Hcarn
was proving himself anything but
nn ngrceablo man in n scrap ,
Lindsay refused to go on with the contest ,
stating that ho had nil the fighting he de
sired , for that evening at least. Right hero
Lindsay nnd Jim Donnelly got into a dispute ,
and Lindsay smashed the bar tender in the

with a loaded cane. Then Ed Kothcry and
Lindsay indulged in a rough-and-tumble

from Beatrice , sojourned behind the bars at
the city Jail.
Halo is wealthy , being nblo to draw his

Wednesday morning this expounder of

In this din-ction ho succeeded- most ndmirn
bly , for Thursday night , while discussing a
point at issue , he met with a man of pugilistic
proclivities and was put to sleep by having
bis fneo pounded until his nearest friend
would not reeogni/o him.
The mnn from Beatrice was not to be dl--
.suadcd from enjoying himself , for lie was
away from homo and was bound to have out

to go out on the trip. <
As they Journeyed northward time and

later the Beatrice man was brought in ,
terribly disfigured linancially , but Htill in tne
ring .
By this time a few things began
'
to creep into his bcmuddled mind ,
and , going down into his pocket ,
be could locuto but fcCi of his l/'IIO. Then bo
told the story of his experience to the police ,
claiming that ho had been drugged nnd
robbed , and wiu spoiling to have some one's j
sculp. ii * *
The next move was to mnko n fe.w restn
and , with n couple of ofllcers , the Walton
liouse was visited , where the victim Ideiiti-
llcd his female companions , who were ar
rested nnd locked In Jail.
The women admit having seen the man with
n big roll of money in his possession , butdeuy
having n hand in robbing him. They say that
if ho was robbed it wns by Ncstlchouso ami
Sawyer , who put him to bed nftcr they
reached "Tho Cottage. "
The lawyer feels very crestfallen , nnd gives
it out that'lto has had enough experience to
lust him a life time.
