SOME WONDERFUL PLAYS AND DECISIONS.
UniplrcH dialling null Ooodrloh Do-
clarj the Onmn n Draw nnd Nar
rowly Km'upo a
Tlio Koorc.
There nro various circumstances that may
1)0 named as producing n fccllngof sublimity ,
but tiono of them would dare bo mentioned
upon the same da > with the ruro display of
ntltlctlc culture that was made nt the base
ball park yesterday afternoon.
It wils a gnmo of baseball.
' The City Council wor.sus the Board of
r.ddycoshun , " as Councilman Olson Informed
the sporting editor while on the cable en
route for the grounds.
The proceeds , nnd they were wofully atten
uated , are to bo donated to the sufferers of
the recent Uradshaw cyclone.
Hecountyour stories of Greek prowess.
They wouldn't ' make a marker for yesterday's
blood-curdling struggle.
The Piiahollonle games brought foriward
jrtcn who had been In training for'great
j > orlods for special foaU. The tumors awarded
wcro so prent that no amount of practice and
i-xertloii were deemed too considerable.
Cilven the name training , ouch modern nth-
lutes as Councllmen Tom Lowry , Bltimor ,
Ostoff , Olson and Morcarlty and Educator
cater * Points , Carl Wchrcr , Sam Hoes , C.
! ' . Goodman nnd A. II. Sander would
frrcntly surpass the ( tii-ek records.
These all-round , self-acting modern
1.crocs would have astonished an nudlonco at
Olympiad. And as for the matter of phy-
fililtie , who In those early ages could compare
TVlth Oatoil. Plato tells us that the sculptors
took considerable liberty in departing from
the actual form of the model. lint could
they have selected the types for their chisels
from Omaha's municipal legislature or educa
tional aggregation , exaggeration would have
Hcen an Impossibility.
.iJtor viewing yesterday's flcrco contest ,
with Its unexampled and matchless athletes ,
It would be pedantic cowardice that proclaims
wo are going physically backward.
And the umpires Mayor Cushlng nnd
Charlie Goodrich could the olden sculptors
Init have looked upon those human forms di
vine , In all their ahlermanic rotundity nnd
symmetrybehind the bat nnd behind the pitch-
> r's box , Illto a pair of Apollo Belvidcres ,
they would have ground their chisels into
razors and cut their throats with them out of
sheer linpotcncy to slmpen the snowy tnarblo
into anything that even favored them.
Again it is said there are various circum
stances calculated to enliven all that is sub
lime in ono's nature , but none , or all of them
together , could produce the feelings which
were brought Into existence by yesterday's
Titanic struggle.

in his umplrical duties 1
Contemplate the gigantic , ponderous steam
liammor , weighing many tons , as it is swayed
up and down , with its resistless mass , as
though a mere plaything in the hands of a
child and that sight , which even' surpasses
the wildest imaginings of the labors of Vul
can and the Cyclops , will bo as n worm to n

mind that encounters Charlie Goodricli be-

Earthquakes , thunder nnd lightning , vol
canoes , cataracts , darkness , solitude nnd
silence ; the hoary mountain , the solitary
lake , the aged forest or the deserted ruin
these , none of these , nor nil combined , could
equal the feeling awakened by beholding
Lawyer Points in the pitcher's box.
Oh , for n lilting apotheosis to this Egyptian

But for the fray.
After a prolonged wrangle over the
momentous question whether Shortstop
Olson of the Councilmaniu team should bo
allowed to hold an umbrella over himself
during tlio progress of the game ,
Umpires Cushlng and Goodrich decided
in his favor , and the opposing
forces took their positions , with , the Eddy-
cutors at the bat.
Gladiator Points was the first to wield the
the club. Ho made three blood-thirsty stubs
nt the whirling sphere , as rotated from Tom
Lowry's deft right hand , and then as ho
started for Urst , after Shrivor had missed
Ills third strike , the schoolnstlo claqucrs setup
up a great howl. In his frantic lllght toward
Jlrst , however , his plug fell off , nnd ho
stopped to recover it. mid was put out.
Shriver hud gotten the ball , aud giving It tea
a Httlo boy , the lad ran with It to First Base
man ChalTeo , and Umpire Clashing , swelling
up like a Fourth of July Balloon , cried :
"You're put way out , sir. "
"He's not" way out , " ejaculated Captain
" \Vohror ; "you beat Broatch , but I'll give
you to understand j ou don't beat us I"
Then the concourse whooped with glee.
"That costs you ten , " very quietly rejoined
the mayor , and the battle waxed warmer
still.
still.Shriver
Shriver missed Wohror's third strike too ,
mid Carl lurched upon iirst , and n lot of fans
under the right wing of the grand stand
played u lively tarantella upon n lot of empty
oyster cans.
II. T. Clarke was so busy patching up his
political fences that ho hired Janitor Geisel-
man of the llartinan school to act as his sub
stitute , and Gclsolman was the next to bat.
The llrst tiling ho did was to knock n fowl ,
a regular shanghai , over the grand stand ,
und while n. lot of little boys
chased it down the alloy Webref
made the circuit of the bases with the first
run.
run."Dot's what I call base ball plays 1" and
Carl laughed until the back of his head
bumped against his spinal column.
Piper hit n Httlo Ily , which was real mean
in him , for It was too puny nnd too young to
defend Itself , nnd Piper is quite a big man.
Kaspar ran in from second und caught tlio
injured insect by Iwth wings , but whllo ho
was struggling with It , Mr. Clarke's proxy
ran homo and Piper reached llrst.
Cushlng and Goodrich both said he was out ,
though , because Kaspar had only dropped the
little wounded Ily once , and ono run had been
made on the hit already , and that was all
they were entitled to.
Piper was very wrathy nt the decision , nnd
liud u notion to kick , but it was too warm , so
ho walked over to the lemonade barrel und
took a drink of water nnd sat down.
Babcock , who was oa hand , but not In the
Riiine , wanted to read a lengthy legal opinion
. oa the points of the game , but the councilmen -
men threatened to Hit down upon him , so ho
crawled back Into the grand stand aud oou-
tl uod his whittling.
The next batter up was Sam Kcos. nnd
Lowry didn't seem to like him very well , so
ho Just plugged him In the back with the
ball.

"Ouch I" exclaimed Samuel , as ho shook
his mane , and hopped around the plato ou
one leg.
"Yeu'ro out , " called out Umpire Good
rich , "you're out. "
"Is thutrlghtl" enquired Captain Wdiror.
' "You botcnorllfo It is ; I know mybusl-
iiiosH , " answered Goodrich , aud the teams
changed sides.
Points , ping and all , was iu the box for the
school Ijouvd , with Wchrer as the backstop.
Strlvcr was the tlrst to lead off for the
council and ho did It nobly. The first ball
pitched ho hit square In the neck and It wont
sailing , sailing , sailing , almost to second
bae , und whllo Piper and Coryoll and Gelsel-
man und Points were itounderlng around In
the dust with the ball under them , Piper
ximdu a homo run.
Goodness IVhat I n shout arose then. You
could have heard It live miles away It you
had been a couple of hundred yards from the
grand stand 1
. Lowry hit a ball through Goloclman , uud
whllo Gchctmnn was plugging up the hole
with mullet ) leaves Tom stole second , third
nnd homo , nnd If the Twenty-eight club had
been there ho would have Stolen that , too.
Then everybody cried , "Hurrah forThotnas
Lowry I"
Chaffco lilt the next ball nn nwful blow nnd
It rolled clear up to thu pitcher's feet , but ho
was only nble to make third base on It. He
came home on ( Caspar's foul , dishing de
claring that n man could score on a foul If the
ball didn't hit the umpire.
Ostoft followed with n homo run over Inn
grand Mand , and Morearty went to first whllo
Pitcher Points was at the water tank.
Goodrich said It win all rluht.
Umpire Gushing came in from the diamond
nt this Juncture nnd snld the Councilman had
been nt the bat long enough nnd the School
Board ought to have another chance.
Lowry nnd Ostoft nnd Olson kicked bard
against this rotten decision and declared
they'd die right there before they'd go out.
'lho mayor i owed up the dust and swore
ho'd call out the llro department and put
them out If they delayed the game uny
longer , nnd so the tcanu changed sides.
And thus the great struggle continued , nnd
finally , just as the little stars wcro showing
their shy faces In the dnr tcnlng expanse
above , the gnmo cumo to a close , the umpires
declaring , in spite of the fact that the Conn-
cilmen had made twenty moro runs than the
School Board , that the light was n draw.

mission so to do. The onicer explained that
ho was looking after irnrbaga which had ac
cumulated on his beat , and was doing so
under instructions from Captain Mostyn.
Upon Investigating the c ise the officer was
exonerated , nnd then Officer Mcalcs was
called up to explain why upon the same day

ficulty with Squires , and was of the opinion
that Black had been drinking , Black ad
mitted this , and stated that ho had drank
three glosses of cherry brandy during the
afternoon.
Captain Cormack stated that as soon as
Squires reported the trouble at tlio police sta
tion ho went over to the viaduct and relieved
Black. The captain also thought that Black
was .so drunk that ho was unfit for duty.

FitKMOXT , Neb. , Juno 30. [ Special to Titn
Bisn. ] Harvey Chalmers is a large , prepo-
sesslng man , with llowingwhlskers , wholivcs
at North Bend , but who has been in Fremont
for a week soliciting orders for fruit trees and
shrubbery. During this period lie has several
times passed the homo of ono William G.
Meaner , nignt engineer on the Elkhorn road ,
who has a handsome wife. The fruit trco
agent also called at the house two or three
times.
The last time ho was there Meaner , who had
boon apprised of the actions of Chal
mers took a lay off for a day or two , and was
also there. It was Saturday evening alittlo
before ; 0 o'clock that Chalmers came up to the
Dorch , opened the screen door and walked in.
Mrs. . Meunor got up in a startled manner
from the chair in which she sat. Chalmers
dumped his bulk Into It. Meaner saw the
intruder through a half open door and began
preparations for hostilities. Ho strapped a
ittwhido to his wrist and stepped Into tlio
presence of Chalmers. The latter was in
formed that his Intrusions In that household
wcro nt nn end and that ho would bo dealt
with according to his deserts.
Thereupon tlio Irrto husband began to play
his rawhide upon Chalmers in a vigorous
manner , castigating him most unmercifully.
Ho then led Chalmers up to the pollco head
quarters by the whiskers and swore out n
complaint against him , charging him with
using Insulting language to his wife. The
raso came up this afternoon , but nt the re
quest of the complainant it was dismissed.
Meaner had coma to the conclusion that
Chalmers had been severely enough punished.
Suicided l > y Drowning.
FREMONT , Nob. , Juno 30. [ Special to TUB
BUE. ] Abram Hohr , a farmer living two
miles northwest of this city , committed suicide -
cido by drowning himself in the Knwhldo
Saturday evening. For soma time Mr. llohr
has been living with his thrco children , and
on Saturday evening during n storm , without
.speaking to any of them , ho wont out of
doors and disappeared. It was nt llrst
thought that ho hud gone to the barn , but as
ho did not appear again It was atterwards
supixwcd that ho went to a neighbor's. Sun
day morning the neighbors were visited and
no trace of him found. His grandson then
came to town thinking ho would bo found
here , but not so. No particular alarm for
his safety was yet felt.
This morning , however -the conclusion was
nrHved at that ho hud drowned himself in
thoUawhido , a small creek Hawing through
his farm and which just now is greatly
swollen by the rains. This suspicion w is
soon continued by the discovery of his hat a t
the creek. Neighbors came to the city to
procure grappling hooks , but before tholr
return tlio body had been found floating on
the surface of the water and recovered. A
coroner's Jury was nt once summoned and a
verdict of sufcido returned.
The deceased was about slxty-llvo years
old. Ills wlfo died n few weeks ago and
sinrfb that time , while passing the cemetery ,
he has been known to remark on two o three
different occasions that ho did not care how
soon ho was burled bcsldo his wife. Tlio
coroner's jury was of the opinion that ho was
of unsound mind.

arnlioiicy's Opinion on South Onwliix'fl
School Hoard Mmlillo.
OMAHA , Juno 30. Tb F. J. Persons ,
president of school "board , South Omaha-
Dear Sir : As I understand from your state
ment , the situation of nltairs with regard t
the position of secretary of school board ol
South Omaha Is about this :
After the ruling of the county Judge to the
effect that Mr. Funston was legally elected as
member of the school board , Mr. Fnnston
qualilled and wits by the school board elected
secretary of the board and commenced the tlis-
charge of his duties as such scerotnrv.
Thereafter , but within the Umo allowed by
'
law for takinir an appeal , Mr. Carroll Ille'd
Ills appeal bond in tlio county court , which
has the effect of superseding the Judgment of
tlio county court. After this appeal bond
was lilcd Mr. Funston ceased to be entitled
to act as a member of the school bo u\l until
the case can bo decided In the district court.
You are therefore in this situation : A
man whom you elected secretary of the
board was at the ttmo of his election
eligible to hold the olllco of sec
retary , but by reason of the appeal nuporsod-
ing the judgment of the county court , ho has
ceased to bo u member of the board and ,
therefore , to be eligible to this olllco ot secre
tary. The ofllce of secretary is , therefore ,
in contemplation of law , at the present time
vacant , and them Is no person entitled to 1111
and discharge the duties of that ofllce.
In order that the business of tlio board may
bo transacted it will bu necessary that your
board elect another secretary , cho3dliur. . as
such secretary ono of the members of the
board , concerning whoso right to sit as such
thcro can bo no question.T.

Tlio MnnnKCi * of tlii Thomas
Company In Trouble.
The detectives hnvo unearthed n scheme
Lhnt not only promises some rich develop
ments , but , if the facts as stated are true ,
may land sorao of the originators behind the
uars.
Some months ago the Don Carlos lumber
company , tlio chief block in trade of which
consisted of n name and a gaudy sign , opened
out in business in this city. The company
nourished for a time , but went to tlio wall ,
leaving nothing behind but tlio manager , C.
L. Blaznn , to represent the wreck.
Out of this grow the Thorn is lumber com
pany , which was incorporated on the 'Jtith
day of June with a capital of SJ5.00J divided
imong the stockholders , P. Mnrtiii , O.
Thompson , S. Boyd and J. Ebblns , none of
whom are known to the pcoplo of Omaha.
This company , so it is claimed , not only
started a business boom in this city , but
commenced opiratioas In SioJx City. Kansas
City , Denver and Willow Springs , Mo.
In this city the manager has be'en Walter
Bollard , a very smoothtongued young man of
jood address and llashy appearance.
The plan , It is charged , has been to have
m ofilco where notes , printed in duo form ,
lave been manufactured and afterward sold
-o the local banks.
' 1'ho notes that hnvo already turned up are
dated In Kansas Cltv , and are made pavablo
to the Don Carloj lumber company , signed
by G. M. Grimn & Co.
It is thought that these , to the amount of
several thousand dollars , have boon disposed
of to the banks of the city.
Yesterday afternoon , after Investigating
Lho case , County Attorney Mahoney swore
out a warrant charging 13ollard with forgery
and lust night he was lodged In Jail.
When .seen in his cell , ho stated the whole
iffuir was a mistake , and as soon as he cfliild
: icar from Kansas ( Jity ho rould convince the
; > coplo that there has been nothing crooked
ibout his workings.

The case of the city against Gi'orgo Coombs
and John Lint , who wcro arrested on n war
rant sworn out by Garbage Master Morrisoy ,
was tried by a Jury In pclico court yesterday
md the ptisonor ? acquitted. The charge
was that those two men have been hauling1
; urbago on their own account , and in opposl-
; Ion to the best latoreits of the city.
The evidence submitted showed that
Coombs , as principal , vislto-1 the prin
cipal hotels and chop housed , where ho
bought the slops and garbage , and with his
inan , John Lint , hnulnd the stuff to Cut-Off
island , where ho fed it to his how. The Jury
icld that after buying tlio gnrbago It was
Coombs' own property , nnd that ho had a
right to haul It away and dbposo of it as ho
saw flt.

Cincvoo , Juno 30. [ Special T ologram to
Tin : Bci : . ] The hot wave that for four days
wafted over Chicago is unprecedented In the
history of this city. Victims It claims by the
score and that the fatalities have not run up
Into the hundreds Is probably duo to the
promptness uud perfect discipline of the
health authorities. The resuscitation of an
apparently dead man today furnish CM an
Illustration. A pollco patrol came dashing
around the corner nnd u man was carried In
on a stretcher by four attendants. He was
unconscious and sweltering under a tempera
ture of 110 ° . Ho was rushed through the
ward to the bath tubs , followed by'
the attending physician and six trained
nurses. Meanwhile , in the mld.st of this rush
and pull and hurry , mi attendant took the
temperature of tho"patient and when the last
garment was removed the quiet announce
ment came : "Temparaturo 1HR. "
"Tub him , " said the doctor In reply , as If
the whole thing was being done by machin
ery. The poor fellow was gently launched
into the cold water In an instant. A smile
came over his face as if In pleasant dreams ,
.lust na the patient wont iulolhe tub the phy-
slrinn lifted his second finger from the pulsn.
He had been feeling for signs of lifn
and strength and had found them not
except In very feeble indications , and
rising up ho gave the simple order , "stlmu >
late. " In half a minute the hypodermic ap
paratus was placed In his han.iis with the required -
quired quantity and quality in the globe , and
the application was made so quickly that the
reporter wondered where and how such per
fect discipline had been accomplished.
Then the doctor straightened himself up
onuj more , and , looking over his dovotcd as
sistants , said ' -Ico. " In half a minute the
patient was Ivlnjj in n tub of ice and water
which would remind one of n "whaler"
plowing through an leu jam olT the coast of
Greenland. Chunks of ice were
placed in the tub one after an
other by careful hands until
the body of'tho patient was covered. Mean
while a'pretty nurse was pouring cold water
on the head o'f the unfortunate nrin to onV't
the extra low temperature produced iu the
bath tub.
In a few minutes one of the nurses ex
claimed : "His pulse is improving , doctor"
Then another announced : "Doctor , the
temperature of the patient is 101. " "Very *
good , " said the physician , "give him a miu-
ute more. Ho is safe. '

Prince Bismarck has already begun to
divulge some of the beorots of diplomacy ;
which will , wo may l > o mire , lill a con
siderable space in the forthcoming memoirs -
oirs , says the London World. Among
other startling statement which he com-
muuicateil to the French jounialibt ,
Henri dos Iloux of the Matin , in a recent
interview , thuro is ono referring to Eng
land which will cause a good deal of bur-
pribo this countrv. According to Prlnco
Bismarck , the Emperor Napoleon pro
poned to him in 18.TT a combination between -
tween the navies of Franco and Prusnla ,
for the purpose of "eliminating" the
English thig from the Mediterranean.
Several French diplomatics of eminence ,
notably the Due do Hroglio and thr
Comto do Clmudorrty , both of wliom wcro'
well acquainted with the policy of Na
poleon III. , htivit publicly cxprcbscd
their doubt an to the possibility of micli
a proposal having been made by hinij
aud it ia worth recollecting that in U
the Prussian imvy consisted of thrco
war whips and ton gunboats. Is this an
error of memory on the part of Prince
Bibinarck , or a blip on the part of his iu-
viewer ?
