THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : JCITUBSDAY , AUGUST 28 , 1890. FAGIS'S ' THREE-BASE DRIVE , It Oleaued the Bases and Won tbo Game fur Omaha. 'THE FANS WERE WILD WITH JOY , All the Uottle-dUp ICiitliiiHlnHmof the JLmst Two Months Kinds Vent in Una Mighty Veil. Well you should have been out at the bnll ynrk yesterday afternoon and seen the Black KOJC grab u game by the shirt cottar and pull It out of the lire. It was givat , nnd all of the enthusiasm thnt tlio cranks have been bottling up for the past Blx weeks was cut loose in ono mighty volume. Kverybody yelled , It was so exciting to see the OraahiH collar n llttlo luck after their long continued stretch of misfortune , npd it caiao to unexpectedly that none could re sist it. Tngln , tlio Italian count , who takes his regular turn in the box nowdays , did the twirling yesterday , nnd what nn iridescent pamo he did put up. It fairly sclntellutcd. Try M hard as they might , the big Denver sluggers rould only secure puny llttlo singles licro and there throughout the contest-and If runs had depended on bits they wouldn't liavo gotten a smell. The lengthy son of sunny Italy mowed 1licm down like grass before the scythe , and Jie watche.1 tlio b.ises In such a way thnt the rcry lleetest of them all did not dare to expe riment. Hut Unit wasn't all ho did. not by n jug full. full.In the ninth iniiln , ; , with two men out and three men on bases , ho ninJo ono of tbo most i.'lorious awlpcs over witnessed upon tlio Jiomo grounds. , It was n threo-sackcr , and cleaned thOeJwcs niul won the game. The uproar that followed defies description. Wen stood up and yelled nnd hurled their liats nloft ; llttlo boys fell over the grand fctawl balustrade and tumbled about upon the velvety award like so many chickens with their heads cut off , whllo the Indies , why tlioy just fairly shouted , too , nnd Haunted their lace handkerchiefs nnd crushed In each others bonnets with n reckless abandon that nlono could tell of all tholr delirious joy. There wasn't a great deal of hitting on rlthersldo , for both pitchers were unusually I'iTectlvc , but the lidding , barring Omaha's third liming , wns quite sharp and brilliant. For this reason , and also for the fact that Ibo score was very alight , the game was dc- Jljjhtfully uncertain until the close , and kept IliolHX ) spectators on the ragged edge of anx iety.How How , however , grew rnoro and more ctnn- rintofttts innlnir after luning went by , leaving the f Jute City chnpa In tbo ditch , but when , in the very last , Kngln's fortuitous Job won Hie paine , the pent-up feelings of the crowd found vent in u tremendous shout of Jubilation. Thnt sort of n game is always exceedingly exhilarating , you know. It was a lovely day for ball playing , and the crowd was notonc-tcuth iuahso what it should liavo been. But It Is nil right.

Arthur , chief engineer of the Grand International Brother- liood of Locomotive Engineers , to the engin eers on the Third nvcnuo elevated road. The letter Is hi response to ouu on the subject of the Central strlko and la the first utterance of Arthur , which fully dotlnca his position townrJs the Central strikers and Knights of Lnbor. The letter Is us follows : Cuvr.r.AXt : > , 0. , Augusts ? . It. H. Ilolmnn Dear Sir nndUrothor : Your letter of the 2 ! > d Instant with Powderly's letter utid other clippings from Now York papers enclosed , received. In reply 1 will say 1 huvo not ro- celvcd any letter from Powderly. Ho claims to huvo written tno a private letter on the trouble nnd wants mo to dollno my position. If ho considers his letter that appeared In the newspapers a private ono , I don't , nor will I miswor letters thnt reach mo In tlnit way. It Is un necessary for Powderly or any one else toask mo to deilnn my position to the Brotherhood of Locomotive KiiKlncora In the present , trou ble on tbo Now York Central. The policy of the brotherhood Is well known to htm mid the public , ns it bus bcon repeatedly explained from public plntforms and published In papers. Ho says : "Some time ajfo I telegraphed htm ( meaning mo ) that I would meet him in Cleveland and when I arrived tticro I could not llnd him liljrh or low. I learned a telegram had been received by him , but my efforts to locate him were fruitless. " The facts in the case , as near us I can recol lect , are these : Some four voara ago 1 re ceived a telegram from Powdcrly requesting mo to moot him at the union depot In Cleveland - land on the arrival of a < : ortnln train on the Lake Shore road. Owing to my absence from the office I did not receive the message until after the departure , of the train , and so informed him by letter , addressing It to htm at Scrauton. I do not bollovo ho stopped over and looked forme , forlf ho had lie would have had no dlllleiilty In finding mo at my olllco or home , as I am always at ono or the other when in town. Ho tells n falsehood when ho says other leaders have been mmblo to flnd mo when they tried to do so. Any man who trios , finds mo when I am hero very easily nnd 110 man , whether n leader or a private In the ranks of labor , over came to my ofllco who was not treated courteously. Whllo I differ with men as to the best methods to bo employed to secure a certain end , I have nhvays been liberal enough to concede every man the same rights and privileges I ask for myself. When the pres ent trouble on the Is'ow York Central llrst oc curred I advised the engineers to abstain from all participation in it and attend strictly to their own business. I gave the same advice - vice when the strike occurred on the Gould system a few years ago. My advice - vice to the brotherhood of engi neers , when men employed in other branches of railroad service huvo been on strike , wus to mind their own business and not do anything that did not properlv belong - long to them as engineers. Can Powdorly say the samel I think not. Whenever engineers have boon on strike , we have never asked any other organization to assist us. * It is true some members of the order , during the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy strlko , im portuned the switchmen to quit , bat they did it on their own responsibility , and not by the authority of the organization. Consequently I hold that we are perfectly justified In main taining a neutral position when others are engaged in a conflict with their employers. Powderly accuses members of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers of taking the places of striking firemen. If that Is true the division of which they are members will dent with tlieiri. It Is not within tbo province of my authority to deal with Individual mom- bora. I wonder If Powderly had the knights expelled who took the places of our men on the Chicago , Burlington &Quincyi Yours fraternally , P. M. AUTIIUII. Kallroads Making Good Progress Toward Filling Vacancies. CHICAOO , August 27. [ Special Telegram to Tun BED. ) The switchmen's strlko at the Union stockyards is still on , but the railroads nro making good progress in filling the places of the strikers. Fourteen of the twcnty-nvo engines at the yards were running today and considerable freight was moved , though some delay was necessarily occasioned by the In- cxperlenco of the new men. The managers of the various railroads have been in session the greater part of the day and nro consider ing the organization of a now switching as sociation to take the place of the ono which , by agreement , was dissolved on Monday. It is the intention that the new association shall bo managed entirely by railroad men instead of by persons employed by the stock yards company. It is the general belief that the present dllllculty is the result of mis management. There is a mass meeting of switchmen to night under the auspices of the Switchmen's Aid society to consider the situation. The union docs not uphold the strikers and will probably induce them to return to work pro vided their services will bo accepted by the railroads. The Chicago & Alton strike is de laying business on that road , but General Malinger Ctmppcll thinks ho will bo , able to fill the places of nil the strikers in a few days , Three freight trains wcro run out today and all the passenger trains are running on sched ule time. TlioStookyarclH Strike. CHICAOO , August 27. At the stockyards this morning , whllo Dullness was not nt a standstill , operations are not bolng conducted with their former facilities. The engines , except these of the Luke Shore road , are maimed with officials of the respective companies. All the packing houses nro killIng - Ing today , There seems to bo a difference of opinion as to wiiothor'tho switching associ ation has dissolved , Its sccreturj' and innna- gor assert that it has not disbanded whllo the officials ot the Illinois Co tit nil railroad say It has. The striking switchmen uro marking every car thnt leaves the yards with a nrlvatirmark and tlioy claim tbeso cars will not bo handled by the regular men of the various roads , It was rumored this morning thnt the switchmen on the Pittiburg , Fort Wayne & Chicago road had struck , but It was afterward denied. * The strlko of the switchmen on the Alton railroad continues today. Tills morning the llremen and engineers decided not to go out in support of the switchmen as it was Intimated they might do. Later in the day a number of non-union switchmen were stt to work under police protection. At I o'clocsl this afternoon thirteen engines worn at work In the yards handling about nil the foods shippers cared to move. Tlio chairman of the strikers' grievance committee says companies doing business In the yards have made a proposition to the men to go back to work under the old scale of wages , with extra time to be paid for night work. These statements uro denied by rail road oniciuls The general managers ofjdl roads centering in Chicago were In session nearly all day dis cussing the strlko and the Stockyard's Switching association. The most positive action taken uurlnff the day was the adop tion of two resolutions touching a kindred subject : First they declared that under no cir cumstances would the demand of the striking switchmen for increased pay bo ( ( ranted ; and second , they ! ro-emphasizcd their action of Monday dissolving the switching association. The switching association , whllo It may huvo been hold In uboynnoo up to this time , Is now certainly dissolved , and it Is hoped by the general managers that this will offer a speedy solution to the strlko. , As the roads uro doing their own switching , considerable time was consumed in the dis cussion nnd adoption of certain needful reg ulations to control the Interchange of freight trafllc , otherwise It might lead to confusion and complication In the yards , On the question of precedence , It was re solved that the executive board of tlio gen eral umi'ovcrs shall have full uud roinplcte control of switching in the stockyards , and shall settle nil dispute * between the roads as to precedence of right-of-way of switches. The general managers declared their action in regard to thp strike to bo Html nnd ad journed sine die. Tlio Situation nt Albany , AMIANIN. . Y , , August 27.
