MAItA managed to
scratch out Iho last
game of the series
with Denver , but it
wns ns rocky an ex
hibition , especially
on the part of the
Tcbcau family , an
has been put up at
the Omaha park
_ _ -.w . , ' . , i this season.
S < } < $ ' ' ' ' , ' " ' /i'xr' " * ' They hit the ball
nil right , but their ilcldlnc was agonizing to
beheld , nnd the presumption is thnt they
were recovering from a carousal of the pre
vious night.
This , however , Is only the presumption ,
nnd it may bo that the boys were nil tucked
in their little beds ns early as sundown , but
it is u10 to 1 shot that they were not.
Wcrrlck and Heard , while they made
several brilliant plays , deported themselves
generally like n couple of men from the
soldiers' home.
Toheau was the only man of the entire
outfit wBo maintained his reputation as a
ball player. O'Connor and McGarr batted
well enough , but both were bunglosomo nnd
no good lu the field.
For tlio Lambs n good word is coming for
every man. They worked hard nnd energet
ically and should , huvo won the game'way
up In the double figures , but the Nemesis of
hard luck still clung about their iiecici , and
It wns the veriest scratch thnt they won nt
nil. Tha lidding of Pop Smith and' Joe
AVnlsh was of the nhenomonal kind , while
the batting of Flanagan , Dungan nnd Me-
Clollan was notably fine.
Fee's pitching was weak , ns the Ib column
for Denver fully and Incontostibly proves ,
vet bis work was even better than that of
llnrry the Parisian or Peter tMcNabb.
Fields was off in his lining 'otn down to second
end , but otherwise behaved h'o u gentleman
and a scholar.
Stlcn , Ch Icngo'.s southern crack , has boon
signed and joins the team today In Kansas
City , as also docs Frank Day , who will ro-
liuvo Whltehend at third. Those two mun
will materially strengthen the team , and by
the time it gets back here on the 2'Jd , an
other now face or two will bo within the
ranks.
It would be n thankless nnd uninteresting
task to attempt a detailed description of yes
terday's game , nnd for tbo nonce the cranks
must rest content with the score :

both were very effective. Heat lost the game

DUI.UTII , Minn. , Aug. 13. The prospects of
in early settlement of their financial troubles
infused the Duluth team with unusual null
ity and they hopped on to the Millers of
Minneapolis with n ttiud that made Pitcher
Mitchell's hair stand. But for two
rocky , very rocky , decisions by Urn-
piro Quest , whicli ho afterwards prac
tically admitted wcro wrong , it would
tiavo been n frightful shut out. Min
neapolis made nine very rotten errors nnd
Ward made nn exhibition of himself by kick.

Tonn. , Aug. 13. K. Dudlo.1
Fraysor , president of the Security and tin
Memphis City banks , secretary of the Mem
phis railway company , principal owner o
the 1'ublle Lodger , nnd 0110 of the mos
prominent nnd wealthy citizens of Memphis
was this afternoon chloroformed iinii robbed
nt the Oayoso hotel by a man giving his
mime ns John A. Morris mid his residence M
Now Orleans. About 0 o'clock this morning
a man who registered as John A , Morris
New Orleans , wus assigned n room al
tlio Onyoso , for which ho p.ilu in 'ad
viinco and occupied at once. During tht
evening ho ordered a bottle of whisk )
from the oar and a boll boy secured a bottle
of camphor for him from the house drut
store. About 2 o'clock this afternoon Mr ,
Fraysor , sittltur In his private cilice at the
Memphis olty ban It , received u note signed
"John A. Morrii" requeuing Mr. Fraysor tc
call on him at mice on ousiness of import/
anco. Mr , Fr.iyser was at the hotel In a few
minutes and was ushered into Mr. Morns' '
room.
The latter introduced himself as John A ,
Morrh of tlio Louisiana lottery company ol
Now Orleans. Ho sate1 the lottery company
had been antagonized greatly of late In that
state ; ttiat their investments had been un
favorable and lottery property generally was
unsafe , nnd ho wished to consult him in re
gard to it. Mr. Fraysor gave him what in
formation ho could in regard to Memphis
moiiiod institutions , but would give no advice -
vice and turned to go.
At tins juncture Morris asked htm to have
a drill l ; . llo tlccilnca , saying ho did not
drluk , but Morris insisted , and Mr. Fraysoi
walked across the room to n window while
Morris opened a satchel. "Here , " said Mor
ris , nnd Mr. Fraysor turned around ho was
very greatly startled to ilnd two revolvers
one in each of Morris' hands , staring him in
the face. Said Morris : "i nm n desperate
man ; I have no money ; my family in Now
Orleans are in destitute circumstances and I
must have money. You must endorse a
check for M.OOO. "
When Mr. Frayser had recovered from his
astonishment ho tried to argue with tno man
and tolling him that ho aid not have that
much money to give him. The Now Orleans
man stuck to It , however , and Mr. Frayser
finally agreed to endorse a check for f 500.
The check was then drawn on the Hibernian
National Juimk of New Orleans nnd Mr.
Fraysor endorsed "H. D. Frayscr , " hoping
the cashier nt his bank would suspect some
thing wrong an J refuse to cash it us ho al
ways endorsed his checks "U. Dudley Fray
scr. " A boll boy WHS at once called by Mr.
Morris and the cheek sent to tliu Memphis
city bank , Mr. Fraysor being kept n prisoner
in the hotel after the boy had gone. Morris
walked over to where Frayser was standing
nnd clapped n napkin over bis face , throw
him on the bed nnd that is the last of his ad
venture Mr. Frayser can recall.
Mr.Vhlte , proprietor of the hotel , was
notified about (1 ( o'clock this morning that
there was something wrong iu Morris' room ,
as cries of "murder , thieves , " could bo
plainly heard issuing from that room. Mr.
Frayscr was found "unconscious , tossing and
turning on tliu bod. The dose of chloroform
was overpowering him. His watch was cone
nnd Morris was ROIIO. The check lay on the
table unpaid. The bell boy had taken It to
the bank twice at Morris' request , payment ,
however , being refused each time. The po
lice are greatly puzzled over the affair , and
are searching every corner of the city for
Morris. _

\VASHIXOTOX , Aug. 13. Inquiry at the
reasury department develops the fact that
secretary Foster's ' plan for continuing the
j. i per cent loan ut - per cent has so far
ailed to meet with the favor that was antici
pated by its advocates. On July 2 , when the
offer was made to continue they | > er cent
bonds nt" per cent thcru were ouutandlng
51,000,000 4 % per cents , of which
amount f.'t.lXMt.OOO wus held hy ulna
national banks as n basis for cir
culation. Since then $1S,500)00 ( ) of the
bonds have bcou continued. Of this amount
11,000,000 cnino from private Individuals and
815MX,000 ) from 000 national bunks , leaving
JT.fiOO.OOO 4 > per cents in the possession of
BOO national banks und ? i7,000OOU la the
hands of Individuals. Those bonds , aggre
gating $33,000,000 , in order to bo continued
under the present offer , must be presented on
or before September 2 , the dnto on whle
their Interest ceases. Otherwise tno seen
tnry of the treasury must bo ready to rodeai
thorn on presentation or make terms will
others for an extension of time at tlio prcsen
ruto of Interest , viz : -I' , ' per emit. Th
nvallablo cash b.iianco In t'ho treasury toda >
outside of fractional silver coin and deposit
In national banks , Is $ l3r > 00,000. and is prat !
tially increasing. While there Is no ntieHIo
of the government's nbillty to redeem tho.s
bonds nt maturity , it Is well known that I
would piefor to continue them.
There is ho doubt that the $3,000,000 n
bonds held by the national banks will ho pre
scnteu for continuance. The uncurtnlntv i
wholly in regard to the Sin.WW.UOO In th
hands of Individuals. The department hit
assurances that those bonds would bo take ;
up by the national banks and used for th
purpose of Increasing their circulation. Tht
was the argument that mainly Induced th
department to adopt the 2 per cent plan. S
far. however , It scorns the nssurnnrus hnv
not been made good. According to a proml
nent treasury olllcltil this is entirely tlio faul
of the banks.
"There lit no sense , " said ho to nn Assocl
ntod press representative this afternoon , "li
the owners of those bonds holdlnc them fo
redemption by the government at par whoi
they nro at a premium of ? 4 of 1 pur cent 01
X lie market. They are either holding out fen
n greater premium or the banks which wbr
ostensibly so willing to take up the loan fo
the purpose of Increasing' tnclr circulation
have gene buck entirely on thulr prom
Ises to the department , mid nre making in
oiTort whatever to secure thoie lloatln )
bonds. This Is one of the questions that wll
b-i presented to Secretary Foster on hi :

'will certainly realize 8150,000. The liabilities

stringency in the money market and the fact
that the recent failures of the Fetor lumber

difllcult for lumber men to get accommoda

has been in Kansas and Colorado , and they
are ivell known ns "slow. " In short , col

"Slnco you Invlto It , I too will venture to

share in the public grief for his loss , both ns
n humble citizen of that republic of letters of
which ho was the glory and also iw an out-
sldo friend. I knew him as n man and In
knowing him lost uo jot In my admiration
and affection for him as an author , which
does not oftun happen. After Longfellow
and \Vnltor Whitman I should rank
him the host of your American poets , out
he was even greater ns n critical supreme
judge of literature than as a writer of that
magnificent commemorative ode and tliu in
imical Blgolow papers. It is much when all
the world must say that least of the many
distinctions of this sweet and subtle natural * ? * m
letter was that ho hold with n noble useful
