THE OMAHA DAILY B.EE : TUESDAY , JULY 14 , 189J.
OMAHA STILL IN SUSPENSE ,
Not Yet Settled Whether tbo Doming Cham
pions Will Remain Hero. >
PROMISE TIIAF THE TEAM WILL STAY ,
Some ItonHoti to Believe ttinl the Club
lie Kept Intnutlilncolii
Won from Kansas City
\ \ Itli Kue.
Citizens Interested In the maintenance of
Omaha's baseball team will buvo to bo pa
tient for n few hours longer , but they can
rest assured that the enemies of the great
sport stand n good chance of getting left at
every turn in the road.
All sorts of obstacles have boon thrown In
the way of a speedy settlement of the
< embrogllo , but the proper parties are taking
n lively Interest Just now nnd the prospects
are good for an amicable adjustment In spite
of nil adverse .scheming.
There nru n thousand and ono reports afloat ,
but ono thousand of them cut nn llgiirn In the
caso. There Is no player In the Omaha
club going to deliberately cut his throat.
Still there are many phases of the situation
to bo carefully eruislderod , but with the ar
rival of President tCrnuthoff hero the affairs
of the club will rocelvo a speedy disentan
glement , nnd thcro Is n good chance of the
club's continuing right here.
The best men of the city nro awakened to
tbo necessities of tbo case , and It Is icasona-
blo to suppose that they will work out a
happy solution to the whole question. If
they fall It will bo their own fault.
Business men who hope for the retention
of Otnahu's one great summer amusement
nnd still greater advertising card should
move promptly and In unison nnd the club
will remain , and on n basis that will bo a
credit to both players and management.
Ono prominent nnd woalthv businessman
declared yesterday that "thoro would bo
more money taken In at the gatu under anew
now and popular management than has been
realized during the entire season so far. "
If the citl/ons nro successful and r.tlso the
funds to keep tbo club , tbo players wlllloavo
tonight for Denver , whore they are scheduled
to play tomorrow. If not. the present
champions of the Western association
will bo scon for the lust time
on the local erounds todav when they
will play a game against the Eden Musoes ,
for the benefit of the former team.
KANSAS CITV , July 11) ) , President Kraut-
off of the Western ball association left to
night lor Omaha where ha will consult with
Messrs. Morrison and Ciarncnu
concerning the transfer of. the
Omaha club from the management of Dick
McCormlck to that of the former gentleman ,
There were many wild stories nlloat here
todav regarding the disbanding of the
Omaha club and the sale of the nlayers to
the various clubs In the American asso
ciation. President Krautoff was inter
viewed Just before ho loft tonight on
the status of the club. Ho said most em
phatically that the club had not been dis
banded , and ho thought It would not
bo for the reason , ho said , the asso
ciation could not afford to lose Omaha
from the circuit , nnd everything pos
sible would bo done by .tho association
to keep thu club Intact. Ho had anticipated ,
he said , that McCormlck would nttu.npt to
disband the club nnd sell the players nnd ,
under the rules of the association , ho had re
served the players for the association and
they could not ro to another association
until the Western waives Its claims upon
upon them. Mr. McCormlck's ph\n \ to refuse
to disband and soil the men did not succeed.
President iCrautoff today received notice
from the Denver management of the sale of
Kight Fielder Curtis to the Cincinnati league
club. The Kansas Citys today released
Pitcher Coliwny.

None of the directors nor stockholders nave

Thirteen Thousnndl Found Stowed
Awisy In a Suicide's Piano Stool.
WINONA , Minn. , July 13.---Nearly two years
ago a sensation was caused hero by the
ulcidoof i eua Weinberg , for thirty years
lousekeoperof thu Huff house , and * the dis
covery after her death of about 312,000 In
? old stowed away under fnlso bottoms in her
trunk. With this money she was about to
return to nor native land , Sweden , and had
shipped tha trunks to Baltimore , but in a
morn'ontof insane frenzy toolr her own lifo
just as the tlmo arrived for departure. The
money was paid over to her heirs in Sweden.
A sequel now turns up scarcely less Inter
esting than the Initiative. On Saturday
evening her executor. E. A. Ooeditz , had his
attention attracted to a piano stool used by
the wonian Lena , and taking it to pieces
there was a further sum of ? 13,000 In gold ,
which the misorlv housekeeper had evidently
stowed away. There are various theories as
to where she obtained so much money , ono of
which assigns the real ownership to Colonel
Coekroll , the former proprietor of the Huff
houso. It is probable u lawsuit will follow.

AiiKimcr.N , S. D. , July 1H. A furious storm
of rain and hail prevailed ton miles north of

many miles wldo and thirty or forty miles
long. In some localities nothing suffered ,
but In others fine crops were pounded into
the ground and bouses and barns swept

acres of wheat have oeen destroyed.
At Columbia the bridge over the James
river was dashed to pieces , whllo trees were
blown down or uprooted. Near Cloarmont
Farmers HnrKor , Cooley , Whltllold and
others lost houses nnd barns. Loss of lifo Is
rumored , but has not boon confirmed. Hail
stones ten inches in circumference were

Ono farmer says the hall was driven throuuh
boards near the bouso and a cow covered
with blood from hail.

Some Interesting Question * .
Nnw YOIIK , July 111. The railroad presi
dents' meeting will bo called to order at II a ,
in. tomorrow. One of the r.Ulroid oftlclnli
who will bo present at the meeting said :
"Tho chief subject discussed will be
the Joint agency plan for the
dlslrlbutlon of competitive business ,
This plan was recommended at the
meeting two months ago and the com nils
slonors were ordered to draw It up In detail
and dccldo upon tnoallotrr.ontof percentages.
I have received n copy of the plan drawn up
by the commissioners. Other matters to b
discussed are likely to tnito considerable
tlmo And the mooting will consume at least
l\v tlays and probably more. "
The gentleman refused to say whether n
copy of the allotment of percentage was sent
out with the plan or not. The mooting will
take place at the Windsor hotel. Messrs ,
Stuyvcsant , Fish and Von Uensnllnor , who
wore prosont. said they did know what the
proceedings will bo.
Sidney Dillon said ho would attend the
mooting. IIo did not expect to see Jay Gould
nt the meeting bernuso that gentleman was
out of town.
Among the roads that will bo represented
are the following : Kock Isiand , by Presi
dent K. H. Cable and Benjamin U'rowstor ;
Northern Paeillc , by President T. F. Oakes ;
Denver & KIo Qrando , by Georco C. Coppell ,
chairman of the hoard of thu directors ; St.
Paul , by President K. C. Miller and Samuel
Spencer ; Central Iowa , by Hussoll Suiro ;
Atchlson , by President Mnnvol and Gcorgo
C. Magoun ; North western , by President
Mnrvln Hughltt and Albert Keep. The Bur-
llncton will probably bo represented by Its
president or an nl'ornato and the Great
Northern will probably bo represented by
President H41. ! C. P. Huntington , who will
probably represent the Southern Puclllo nt
the mooting , lid not como to this city today ,
remaining at his Wcstchestoi ; residence , but
ho said last week that ho would certainly
attend.
Some of the ofllcors named do not look for
the adoption of the Joint agency plan , as they
think the effort to wipe out all existing
agencies would bo too great for the associa
tion to attempt. As a general thing the
representatives of the various roads are
reticent in speaking of the meeting and the
probable results are decidedly uncertain.
