Ltscot-x , Nftb. , Aug. 20. ISpcclal Tolo-
grnm to TIIK Hut : . ) The Lincoln Hasoball
clutt Is no moro. It has boon decided to with
draw from the Western association and dis
band the club. Hanker Moshor. who owns
the franchise , called n mooting of the persons
Interested. Messrs. Moshor , Little , Hnrloy ,
Lomlst and Townloy woio present , nud alter
n long discussion it was decided by these
gentlemen that slnco Ihoy had already lost in
the aggregate about $3,000 on account0'
luV Itoxvc. that they did not cam to take
any further risks. A game Is being played
this afternoon for the benefit of the club.
This will bu the last game that the club will
plav.
The Immediate causa for the disbanding
of the Lincoln base ball alub Is the reported
rascality of Dave Uowo , the late manager of
the club. The members of the club are very
frro In the expressions of their opinion of
Dave Kowo us a manager , and every other
Way. Hitter words of condemnation nro
heard on every side concerning his trickery
nnd abuse of the con lid en co placed In him by
the people of Lincoln. The players say that
whan they loft for the late extended trip
July 1 , that F. W. Llttlo of the street
rUlway company KJ > VO ouch of the
Doys his check for $50 , nnd they loft feeling
perfectly satisllcd that they would receive
their salaries In full on their return home.
It Is certain that Dave Kowo received at
least $2 , 100 on the trip , but the players ro-
ceivcd from him only small amounts ranging
from ? l to y > apleco during the outlro trio.
Ho Is at least over $2,000 ahead from this
source. Mr. Little is reported to bo out
nearly $ . ' 1,1)00 ) through his faith In Howe's
honesty.
Ileforo the srason was opened C. W. Mo-
ahor , J. H. Harluy , It. W. Towloy aud others
signed a $2,000 note for Howe , ou which ho
secured the cash to pay advance money to
the players. The citizens of Lincoln raised n
subscription fund of fJ,200 ! and the Lincoln
street railway company contributed $1,000
more. About two months ago friends of the
club sold S.,000 worth of tickets for the re
mainder of the season. About July 4 Mr.
Llttlo advanced Howe $1.T , > 0 to pay up sala
ries , Uowo making n most pathetic appeal for
that amount.
The earnings of the club this season have
boon In tbo neighborhood of $ ill , 000. To this
should bo added the sale of Darnbrough to
Kansas City for $ 200 , and $ . " > 00 moro for score
cards , to lay nothing of ether minor sources
revenue. Early in the season Kowo Issued
100 season tickets nt $ . ' ! 5 each. There Is no
record of the snlos , but the lot , If bold , would
have brought $ tr > 00. Ho worked ono of the
hotels on the quiet for $25 a month for his in-
ilucnco on visiting clubs. It Is also known
that ho borrowed money of several persons.
The money received on the trips r.way from
homo was moro than snflloiont to pay all sal
aries. It Is therefore estimated that Dave
Uowe has done the Lincoln people up for
about J10.000 or $12,000 from a conservative
standpoint. _
Thin is No Mows.
ST. Lot-it , Mo. , Aug. 20. The Post-Dis
patch this afternoon says that at the meeting
of the American association in this city It
was resolved by the magnates to effect n
compromise with the national loaguo. The
deal Is now on and unless some hitch occurs
everything will ho peaceful in the nnse ball
world within a very short tlmo.
The IcRguo people have been talking peace
for some time , and the overtures looking to a
truce have come from thorn. A meeting to
organize the details for n compromise will beheld
held next weok. It will probably occur on
Tuesday. Brush and Von dor Aho agreed
between themselves on n plan at their last
meeting , but each had to get the approval
of his associates and next week when the
conference is hold It will bo found What each
organization will demand nnd what each will
concede.

very much as ho did In the early part of the
season , and the Omaha's could not touch
him. The men from Nebraska should have
been shut out , their only run being the re
sult of n wild throw by Drcnnnn , who was
too anxious to catch the third man at llrst.
The hint given * Vorrick the ether day that
his playing was not satisfactory , has had a
good result. Today his hatting was the
feature of n hard hitting team's ' work , ho

poaranco of the Lincoln team on the diamond.
The majority of the boys realized this fact
and evidently bad attempted to drown their
sorrows In the wlue cup before the game com
menced. The game was for the bcnutlt of
the local clui ) , 30 the boys could gut enough
money to take them to their respective homos.
It Is almost nuedlo.su to say that the eatno

OMAHA , Neb , , Aug. IT. To the Sporting
Edltorof TIIK BKK : The way THE BBS has
been booming the amateurs o ( this city ,
state aud vicinity , ls omothln tney ought to
appreciate , and 11 certainly looks as if they
do , as there has been a largo Increase in
games slnco TIIK BKE published the amateur
club directory throe weeks ago. Before this
was Issued tlioro was a poor show for olub
to bear of ether clubs , except writing ,
chasing , etc. : but as It is now nil thofr Imvo
to do Is to pick up TIIK Bix ; , and If they
want n game In this atato or Iowa they can
get It.
I have ono suggestion which I think a good
ono , and that is to request through TIIK BIJK
of all clubs In this city and surrounding
country to sontl to TIIK BKB not later than
Friday of each week , club names , pruiinds ,
llmo. otc , of game-i to bo played thn following
Sunday. By this means there would bo
crowds attend these games nnd work up en
thusiasm for thorn , and in a season or two
the amutour crank would bo us plentiful as
the professional. Further , the "Omaha's"
are absent most of the time , nnd n majority
of cranks would rather see a good luvomlo
amateur game than n profovslotml I speaK
not fer my own nenoilt , but thousands of
others. Tin ; BRR would bo commanded for
this work In bringing this about , as it Is for
its good work already.

STOHV OF AI.Mr'K UAl'TUHK
How the Cowardly Murderer of an
Innocent ( ilil WHH Caught.
HANOVIIII. N. II. , Aug. 20. Although n
largo part of the crowd agreed with Sheriff
i3rlglmm In his appeal for protection for
Almy when ho should bo brought out of the
barn , several pistol shots , fired In the crowd
while Brigham was talking , showed that
there was a difference of opinion at that timo.
When Almy refused to como out as ho had
agreed to tbo tamper of the people changed
nud sent "Don't fool
a general cry was up ,
with him any longer ; bring him out dead or
nllvo , nnd do it uuieklv. "
These who had boon In conference with
him having retired , n force with Winchester
rifles was brought and after locating him as
near as possible from the otitsldo the firing
was commenced by the rifleman , Almy
responded with his revolvers , but the shootIng -
Ing resulted In nothing except to bring
another demand from Almy for n second talk
with Solicitor Mitchell.
Mr. Mitchell , notwithstanding , the in
creased desperation of the murderer wont
up to the hay mow. Of this second visit the
solicitor says , "Almy was flourishing his
shooting irons in a mannorcvon moro danger
ous than before. As ho put thorn under my
nose , the expression ou his face led mo to
think that my life hung on a very slender
thread. Ho said to these within
hearing : 'Stand back , gentlemen , I bold
Mitchell's llfo in my hand nnd If you wink
I'll shoot him. " After some rofereuco to our
talk nt the Writ mooting ho again asked mo
If I would guarantee protection and a fair
trial in the courts. I assured him that ho
should have both. Ho then called again for
John II. Fuller , who came up where wo
wero. After going over the same talk again
he handed ono of bis revolvers to mo und the
other to Mr. Fuller. I have sluco learned
that Sheriff Brigham , who hnd secured n po
sition unlcnowii to Almv , had his gun levelled
on the parleying murderer , and was at onetime
time at Iho point of pressing the trigger.
The carriage driven by Sheriff Randall was
then called for. It was driven up with the
curtains down. The crowd became furious
at the prospect of losing achanca to see Almy
as he should bo driven away. They demanded
a view of him and said they would take a
hand n the atfair unless the curtains wore
pulled up. They removed the curtains.
Sheriff Brigham was soon seen coming down
Irom the hay mow with other olllcers bring
ing the murderer. Ho was placed in the car
riage , but the people were so massed in the
front of the barn doors that It was a long
time before they could bo induced to move
sufllciontly to allow the team to pass out.
Four olllcors with drawn revolvers were in
the wagon and shouted to the people lo stand
back , Almy was so surrounded By ofllcors
that ho was scarcely visible and a rush was
made for the carriage.
The olllcors finally got the wagon clear , the
horses wore whipped Into a rapid pace , nnd
Almy was taken"to the Wheelock hotel.
There was a grand rush of the several hun
dred teams wnlch soon arrived In the village.
Almy was taken into the dining room nt the'
head of the stairs on the tlrst floor. The ofllco
was Instantly filled with people , who wore
still loudly calling for n sight of Almy. Five
oflieors with drawn revolvers were sta-
tloned at the foot of the stairway und
prevented any passage. The streets about
tbo hotel were packed solid with a turbulent
crowd , who were pressing toward Almy's re
treat. The ofllcors soon became convinced
that tbo crowd meant business aud Sheriff
Bridgomnn came out nnd announced from
the stops that Almy should Bo seen tomorrow ,
when ho would bo arraigned nt the prelimin
ary hearing. This plan was not satisfactory ,
ana the cry wont up "Wo want to see Almy
today nnd wo nro going to do it. "
The sheriff assured thorn they should see
him as soon as his wounds were dressed ,
When this llnd boon completed the people
were allowua to tllo through the room. The
stream was kept up till over n thousand had
passed , when Almy fainted , and the doors
wore closed.
An examination of the murderer's body
showed that ho had boon shot three times ,
twice in the loft leg helov the knco , the
lower shot breaking the largo bono. The last
shot scooped n hole out of the top of his head
but did not touch the skull. This shot was
fired by some ono whllo Almy was talking
with Dr. G. H. Hoffman about surrendering.
None of the wounds are very serious.
Almy says there is nothing In his past
career that Is bad except that ho had
gambled somo. Ho will ho nrr.iignud before
Judge Cobb tomorrow , probably In the after
noon , on a warrant sworn out by N. A.
Frost.
It appears that the wounds In Almy's leg
were made by Charles E. Hewitt , the plucky
state college student , who stood his ground
nud emptied his revolver Into the haymow
whllo Almy was firing out of It , neither
party being visible to the ether during ho
shooting. Ho escaped unharmed. At 1 : , ' ! ( )
, in. Almy Is sleeping and guarded hy
horlff Hrighnm und his deputies.
Almy had on a belt filled with cartridges.
Ho had In his pockets a largo knife , tooth
brush aud some matches , it is little short of
a nnraclo that with nil the shooting that oc
curred today no ono was hit but Almy. Bul
lets whistled closely bv the heads of the men
who were guarding the side of the barn oppo
site the men who wore using Winchester
riflos.
The Association proas reporter had an In-
tcrvlow with Almy whllo ho lay on n cot in a
room of the Wheoloolt house. Ho shows the
effect of his biding in his thin pale face. Ho
says ho killed Christie , hut had no Idea of
committing rape. After he killed the girl he
wont direct to Mr. Warden's barn , and was
there when her bodv was brought to the
house. From his hiding pluco In the Darn ho
had a full view of the honso at the tlmo of
the fight. Ho nays ho has been on frequent
visits to Christie's by night and moving
about for food.

INIIIANAVOUI , Inn. , Aug. 20. Ono of the
most terrific rain storms In the history of In
dianapolis occurred yesterday. The dam of
Iho state ditch ana Poguo's run- soon filled
and the water spread to the adjacent terri
tory. In the business part of town gutters
nnd sewers were entirely inadequate to the
work of carrying off the water , many cellow
and basements were filled up , nnd the loss to
goods will bo up In the thousands of dollars.
The overflow of Pogue's run was accompanied
by the loss of at least two lives , Frank
Kink , an eight-year-old youngster , being
dared by his companions , waded out too fur
and was caught by the current nnd swept
nwny. Another lad named Oliver Rckul.
who was assisting in saving some lumber ,
was sucked into a sewer and was seen no
moro. Neither body was recovered nnd both
were doubtless swept olTiuto the river.
The heavy ralntalL was accompanied by
torrllic thunder and lightning A thunder
bolt struck Olson's bolt works just nftor the
employes had commenced work. L. N. IC11-

LIMA , O. , Aug20. Ono of the moil won
derful cast's of skin grafting that has bcmi
made In the history of the medical science Is
In progress hero. Up to the present tlmo
over eight hundred places of llesh have boon
taken from human arms and grafted to the
body of William Shaw , who was soahUtd iO
the Standard OH refinery On July I nnd 'for n
long ttmo was on the verge of the gr.ivo.
Careful treatment and gontlu nursing res
cued him , but loft his lower limbs , which had
boon scalded , entirely holplo-is. The grafts.
are about three-eights of nil inch In diameter
and are taken from the arms uotwoon the
elbow nnd the shoulder. 1 ho lifeless skin on
the scalded parts Is torn iiw.iy nnd the grafts
applied. A thin skin Is bound around the
parts , holding the grafts in their places and
servlhg lo prevent putrefaction. Frocjuontly
the grafts fall to attach and have to bo re
placed by trosh ones. This explains wny SOO
of them have already boon used. This Is nn
extraordinary number and yet many moro
nro expected to bo used before entire re
covery Is looked for. Yesterday MX innn ,
some of them ovun unncqaltiti'd with the
sufferer , came over from the refinery and
had grafts taken from their arms. Since the
grafting was commenced Sh.tw has steadily
Improved and will now undoubtedly recover
fully.

Government Doin lOverythini ; Pos
sible in the Chinese IMatter.
NKW Yoitic , Aug. 20. According to ati of
ficial report at tno state department , .says a
Washington dispatch , there is nothing for
the administration to do Just now in Chlnosa
matters and therefore nothing Is being done.
Outside the walls of the state department ,
however , there is not that feeling of security
aud confidence which reigns within. Naval
oflicers of experience who have served on the
Asiatic station do not conceal their regret
that wo have not already an aduquato force
In Chinese waters for the protection of our
interests , und now that the crisis is upon us
moro comprehensive nnd energetic naval
measures are not deemed necessary by the
administration. These naval ofllcors do not
underestimate the value of the diplomatic
and naval concert , of action among the western -
tern powers , but they do lament the paucit ;
of the American contribution to the navtf
contingent.
In conversation with Acting Secretary of
State Wtmrton today regarding the Chinese
situation , ho said : "It Is a mistake to belluvo
that this government is moving .slowly In
this matter , and that the same energy dls-
jTlaycd bv Franco , England and Germany Is
lacking in the United States This govern
ment tins been keeping pace , stop for stop ,
with those powers In all movements , except
one , for the proper protection of her cltl/.ons
in China. The ono exception is in the display
of naval equipments. The latter is an im
possibility. The United States lias but two
vessels in Clune.se waters aud how can she
cxpact to make a i expectable showing with
thosn ) The navy department 1ms done all In
Its power aud has ordered three vessels from
the PaclUo to reinforce the skeleton of u
squadron nlouir the Asiatic coast. Hvery
possible precaution has uoun taken to protect
American Interests in China. Wo have
united with the other great poworsln making
every proper demand from the Chinese gov
ernment. Our mlnlstsr , Mr. Donby , received
his Instructions long ape , and every consul
within the borders of the empire has his In
structions to use all means within his power
to preserve the dignity of his government
nnd to protect nor citizens.
"What moro < MII hodopo ? Wo have thn
promise and assurance of the emperor that
our requests shall bo granted , nnd wu are
.sending every vessel that can bo spared
across thn Pacific to assist by Its presence in
the preservation of poaco. "
