Omaha signalized the return homo yester
day afternoon by a dull nnd lifeless gamo.
Of course she ' .vas defeated.
Hart , whom Manager Lcadloy fished out of
the Duluth xvrcck , bcgnn the twirling for the
Lnmbs. Ho wns both vulnerable nud wild ,
and at the end ot tbo fifth Inning , by which
tlmo the Cowboys tind piled up nine runs , ho
retired In fnvor of McNnbb Peter McNnbb ,
originally from Toxns , but moro recently
from Denver.
Peter wns u slight Improvement ever his
prcdcccs or , ns the Kansas Cltys were only
nblo to touch him for three singles nnd two
rufis , yet ho enmo within one of presenting
them with ns mnny bases on balls us Hart
had.
had.In
In the third Inning , owing to nn Injury sus-
tnlnod In Sioux City , Pop Smith gave wny to
Frank Day , who did all tboro wns for him to
do In n creditable way.
The notnblo playing on tbo Omaha Sldo wns
dona by McOlonc , who put up n magnificent
nrtlcln of ball from stnrt to finish , nnd deported -
ported himself generally like n man who wns
out to win. Following McOlonc , in point of
merit , came Dungan , McClollnii und Fields.
For the Cow boys every man was on his
mettle with the exception cf Jack Pickott ,
who was quite erratic in his lacing 'em across ,
but , ns ho said , It always requires Just so
mnny errors to add zest to the gamu. Old
Hick Carpenter was as frisky ns a colt , und
Pears pitched n tn as tori } gamo.
Of con rso Gaff noy's utnptilng was clean and
satisfactory.
Tbo cranks of Omaha , however , cnn mnko
up their minds thnt they have scon about the
last professional ball of the season on thu
homo grounds. These four games with Kan
sas City will in nil probability end tbo ex
citement. After that , If tbo association con
tinues , It will bo by reason of some miracle
yet undreamed of. The Cowboys play hero
ngaln this afternoon nnd tomorrow and Sun
day , then comes thu fireworks. The score :

Fall of ttio Deserters.
Hard lines hnvo fallen lo the swoll-hondod
players who deserted Omaha In her time of
need. The only ones loft in active work on
the field today nro Griflln , McAuloy ,
Twltcholl and Sutcllffo , nnd McAuloy Is in n
prime condition to bo Hreil. Clarke failed
utterly nt Columbus and Is now pressing
brick nt his home In Oswego , N. Y. Shan
non Is feigning sickness simply because ho
can't stand tno roan tings of the Washington
pross. Monday Jimmy Donnelly , whom
Omahans considered the finest third base
man on earth , was lot out by Columbus for
Inferior work. Twltcholl is doing ordinary
work , nnd Hnllignn , for whom Cincinnati
paid tbo now Oninha club $1,100 , is cntchlnir
It right nnd loft , as tha following from the
Times-Star attests :
Mr. Jocko Ilnlllgan , whom the Kods lassoed
outof thu wild , wlurd west , did moro to send
I'lttsburg hniuo with their chests swelled out
than any eltl/on ou the .Smoky City tolls , Ho
made a corecnus mlsjlidiro on Thursday which
wascntcied on tbo ledger as n triple forShu-
gart , nud Saturday afternoon , whlln playing
In thu fluid with a glove as nlu ns a flour Hack ,
no mnnnucd to fumble ami juggle hits enough
to give I'lttshnrc a ntco ualr of runs. That
has been the limit of thu I'unnsvlvanlans'
scoring during their late sojourn , but on
three consrctitlvu occasions the Herts did not
have enough to order up thu dunce.
Ancut Donnelly tbo Columbus Journal
says :
Donnelly , the Omaha crack third baseman ,
didn't last long hare and Tlm O'Hourko has
been piel.ed outof the wreck at Duluth nnu
Installed at third base. He took no llttlo Dart
In tl.o two overthrows of St. Louis , scoring two
of thu llvo runs on Saturday and making
three of tin- nine hits off JMeGlll yesterday.

LONDON , Aug. 27. [ Now York Hornlil
Cable- Special to TUB BRB. ] Through the
Herald Charley Mitchell formally takes ur
Jim Cornell's challenge to fight for $23,000 r
side. Ho Is ready to deposit the mono }
furnished by Fnthor-ln-Law Pony Moore ns
soon ns Corbett ' ( by cable ) announces hU nc
coptnnco , In addition Mitchell authorize-
mo to say that ho has nn Kngllsh Irlond will
Ing to hack him for f 100,00 * ) ngnlnst Corbott
It must bo a fight to njlnhh. Corbott can
dccido whether the light Is to bo in Amcrlcu
or England. If In America , Mitchell wants
to name the exact location. If in England
Corbett can name the location. Pony Moore
says ha will post up as much money ns Cor-
bolt likes , 'if the light comes oft In America
Mitchnll'a deposit will bo forwnrdct
through the London ofilco of the Herald am
Cornell's money will bo doposllcd at tin
Now York ofllco. If In England , the Sport
ing Lifo or the London odillon of iho HcrnU
is to bo slnko holder. The fight can bo witn
bare knuckles or small gloves , but Mltchol !
prefers knuckles.
Mitchell says DP wants to fight for money
nnd for an honest reputation , not for the
cheers of tbo crowd nt the ring sldo. If Cor-
bell agrees to the Idea ho Is willing to fight
in private , with nobody present butttio press
reorosontntivcs and say llvo inon on each
sldo , to bo named by bimsolf nnd Corbott.
The main thing is that Mitchell wnnts to
avoid tbo usunl controversies and boliavos
Corbott does.
Mitchell thinks the fight should coma off
wltnin three months from the tlmo the stnkes
nre deposited. Mitchell's ' friends bellovo the
more decisive light can bo had if It is held In
private. Then they can got rid of nil talk
about either the light or the crowd swerving
the referee. On the other hnnd , if Corbott
wants his crowd present Mitchell will not
object. Tno thing is to have the money put
up nt once und get to business.
A telegram from Corbott addressed to the
London editor of the Herald accepting Mitch
ell's offer will ut once bo followed by Mitch-
oil's deposit. _

Chunip'oiiHliip for Doulilon.
The interest in the annual tournament of
the .Nebraska StatoTonnis association , which
closed last night , centered In the finals which
were played yesterday between Messrs.
Doanc and Uuiou , and Morrow and Osgood.
The tournament has been tbo most success
ful in the history of tbo association , and tlm
courts have boon surrounded dally by largo
numbers of tennis enthusiasts , not only from
this city but from Lincoln , Crcto and Hast
ings. The playing of the preliminaries on
Tuesday demonstrated that Messrs. Doano
'
and Ou'iou were pretty suio to bo in nt the
finals. Their playing was marked by steadi
ness and brilliancy , und the Hastings and
Crete teams were comparatively easy victims.
At the close of the second d.iy'a playing
the contest had been narrowed down to
Donne-Guiou and Morrow-Osgood. Yester
day the tlnuls between these two teams were
played , in the preaoneoof a largo assemblage.
The cahies were beyond question the most
o.xcitinir nnd interesting over played by ama
teurs In the state. Tno game wai called at
10:05 : n. m. und it was not until : ) p. m. that
the odlciul scorer announced tbo result that
gave to Messrs. Do.ino nnd Guiou the cham
pionship of Nebraska.
.Morrow and Osgood won the ilrst soby n
score of 0 I. The second sot was a long and
exciting ono , twelve camoj being played UP-
toro Doano nnd Gutou wcro victorious. After
the second sot Morrow und Osgood were not
In il to any appreciable extent , al
though both played brilliant games.
Ospood's lobbing nnd Morrow's ' bril
liant half volleys word features of
of the contest. Messrs. Doano nnd Uuiou
playeil steadily and suroly. They hold the
championship of Nebraska by reason of hard ,
earnest worlr. aud Iho team that wrests it

Campbell und Hunting-ton outplayed their
opponents in superior team work in the first

tlons objected to by the plnlntllT Is thnt o
blackmail.
Judge i'attorson roiorvod hU decision.
tn hU complaint on the suit ngnlntt Sen
ntor Stownrt , Lyon nllegcs thnt Stownrt
whllo acting us nis attorney In 1870 nnd 1871
conspired with Tronor W. Pnrk of Vormon
nnd others to doprlvo him of his inlinn )
rights. Ho says thnt Stownrt realized nuom
JJ.OCO.OOO und no received only f200,0)0 ( ) foi
his claim. Lyon stntos that ho owned ttu
Moultcr uiul St. Louis mines In 1870. Pcopli
claiming to own the Emmn mlno adjolnliu
oncroncnod on nls property. Tronor W
Pnrk und H. Houry Baxter , worn tno equal
owners of hnlf of the Emma mlno. Lyoi
brought suit iignlnst the Km ma Mining com
pany , which was then incorporated In Now
York , for damages nnd opposed the nppllca
tlon of the Km ma Mining company for n nun
Ing grunt. The case was re
ferred to Benjamin B. Curtis of Hoston.
It is nt this point that Lyon claims Stewart' ?
actions wcro not such in nn attorney shoulc
bo guilty .il in his dealings with n client
Stewart led him to bollovo , ho pavs , thai
Curtis was engaged ou the Alabama claims
at Uonovn nnd would not bo nblo to give nt-
ton lion to the case fora long timo. Hccnusc
of such representations Lyon ngrcd to soil
bis rignts in his mines for SMO.OiX ) nnd with
drew hU protest ntrulnst Iho mining granl
nskod for by the Emma Mining company.
Subscduently Lyou heard that Curtis had
nothing to do with the Alabama claims.
Pnyment of the WOO.OOO wns de
ferred , nnd Lyon wns finally induced
to Join with Pnrk nnd others in n
scheme to form nn English company
nnd dispose of the minus on Iho London
market. Stownrt was employed by L3-on to
go to London in connection with the matter ,
Lyou alleges that ho found that Stewart and
Pnrk conspired with Bixtor in London to
defraud him of his Interests , and that bv
false representations Slownrt induced him
( Lyon ) to sell out to Park for $ . ' 0 < > ,00l ) , of
which amount ho paid ? . )0,000 to Stewart and
C. .1. tlillyoi1 as counsel. Tbo mines were
sold in London for Sii.fiUO.OOO. It is alleged
by Lyon thnt Stewart and Pnrk bud entered
into n private agreement while Stownrt wns
bin counsel , and thnt Mr. Stewart received
$125,000 from the Emma Mining company ,
whilu Stewart received 51,000,000 out of tin-
London salo.
Senator Stewart denies all the allegations
of fraud nud conspiracy and charges Lyon
wltb bhu'kmail.
Ho says Lyon lost all bis money speculat
ing and then came to him Stewart ) and
threatened suit. Stewart regarded this ns
blackmail and said s"1 , ut. thu same time ho
asked Lj'on bow much ho wnntod. Lvoi :
