The pull at "tho Btlok" botwoan Farmer
Burns , the athlete , and ilonry ICIlraurrny , a
packing house llorculos , at South Omaha
Saturday night , ended In a draw Httor a con
tinuous luir of two hours anil thirty-ilvo
tmlnutcs. The men were so evenly tnatchod
hat It , wa impossible for otthor to gain the
( lightest advantage , ana attor the prolonged
itrugplo the principals and backers agreed
upon a draw.
The arrangements for the event were very
poor , no admission bolng charged , and as n
consequence the small hall was crowded to
suffocation by a howling mob , which would
luivo prevented a successful termination of
the con test , under un.v circumstances.

The Morse base ball club visited Fort
Omaha yesterday afternoon and engaged in
a game of ball with the Second Infantry
nine , that , la they were In the game with the
soldiers for flvo whole innings , and most of
that time they spent In tba llcld chasing
homo runs , three-baggers and singles , and
so' tired' were they nt the end of the fifth
inning .that they concluded to quit. The
Soldiers did not treat them nt all nice , nnd
did not have a purtiu oof compassion on their
youth , ohd innoccuno of base unll matters ,
out Kept piling up runs until they bad
amossod a total of twenty-nine , giving the
Morses in the meantime only four. It was a
great game whtlo it lasted , out the oxorolso
was altogether too violent , and as the day
was warm the other four Innings will bo
played nt some future time , In strict confi

TOUOXTO , Ont. , July 24. Commenting on
the proposed retaliation measures of the
United States govornraentagatnst Canada in
the matter of canals , the Toronto News
( liberal conservative newspaper ) , In nn edi
torial headed : "Give Blow for Blow , "
says it should bo the policy of
the Dominion government to con
tinue business relations with the United
States , "but it is good to understand that
this Is not to bo brought about by lying
down and allowing the Americans to walk
over us. They have deliberately sot
about carrying out measures intended to an
noy and injure this country ; they have re
fused seamstresses living in Sarnia the
rlKht.tdcarn their living In Port Huron ;
they bave tumbled French-Canadian Immi
grants from a train at .the border ; thov havo'
put linemen In Jail who have crossed the
frontier for the purpose of making repairs on
International telegraph lines , they have refused -
fused to allow our sailors to seek employ
ment on their lake vessels without llrst
foreswearing allegiance to their native
land ; they are now endeavoring to
turn the Grand Trunk ticket agent out
of Buflalo because hia family resides in Can
ada , andthov threaten to Impose nn almost
cuutlscalory tarlCC on Canadian vessels puss-
Ing through tbo Sault Sto. Marie canal.
"Vory good. It is tbo duty of our govern
ment , under the circumstances , to return
blow for blow. Americans employed in this
country should bo dealt with precisely as
Canadians are dealt with across tbo border.
If the Americans want fight , and liothlng
else will do , give them enough of it , "

DBXVIU , Colo. , July 34. The arrest last
night of J. H. Cross and A. J. McDanlols ,
charged with being * principal and accessory
to the famous Mo Hut robbery , caused much
excitement nnd talk today. David H. Moffat , *
tbo president of the l < 'lrst National bank ,
who suffered by the robbery to the extent of
$31,000 , visited the jail this afternoon to
Identify , If possible , too man Cross. As Mr.
Moffixt once before identified a suspected
man as being the roobor and the latter was
afterwards proven to bo very lunocout , bo
was toddy very reticent whether or not Cross
was the robber. Chief of Detectives Sam
Howe rather ridicules the idea that Cross or
McDanlols were connected with the bold-up.
Tbo arrest of the man wus made on the
strength of nn Investigation made by Private
Dotecttve W. T. Sawyer. Sawyer is confi
dent that he has made no mlslaUo und de
clares that in duo time ho will produce ovi-
dcnco showing that ho has the right men.
Cross still denies ' that bo wus in any way
connected with th'o thoft. Cross Is a native
of Illinois and says bo has relatives living
eighty-llvo miles from Chicago , but refuses
to glvo the name of the town. Ho , bowovor ,
said that they lived on the Galena division ,
but not ut or near Wheaten , III. MuDanicls
maintains n complete silence and Is of a

BOSTON , Mass. , July 21.Tbo steamer H.
P. Dlmnck of tbo Metropolitan Steamship
company arrived hero from Now- York
about S o'clock this evening , having on board
the occupants of W. 1C , Yatidorbllt's yacht
Alva , which the steamer ran down this
morn in ? . The Alva , under Iho command of
Captain Henry Morrison , loft the
harbor nt 4 o'clock Saturday evening ,
bound for Newport , U. I. , liavltig on
board the owner nnd his guoits , Frederick
Vandcrbllt , ( Joorco Do Forest , Louis Webb ,
Wlufletd Scott White and Frank Ulggs , all
of whom uro summorl'ig at Newport. Early
this morning u thick fog sot In nnd it became
so dense that Captain Morrison deemed It
Imprudent to run farther , as the vessel was
then in the track of coasting vessels.
Cuino to Anchor.
Alter making Pollock Kip lightship ,
anchor was dropped. Whistles aed horns
were blown nt frcguent Intervals and every
possible precaution taken to warn other
vessels of the whereabouts of the Alva. The
owner and his guests were all sleeping In
their berths , when at a few minutes past S
they were aroused by a heavy crash ,
accompanied by the tearing of the
plates of their vessel. * SVllliom
Vnndorbllt was the first on dock ,
closely followed by Mr. Ulggs. Looming
up tin-ouch the fog they could see the dark
bull of a largo steamer backing awav from
the yacht. The steamer was the H. F.
Dlmock whoso stem had penetrated the sides
of the Alva , staving In the forward bulk
heads. The crow of the yacht hailed the
steamer nnd Informed the captain that the
yacht must sink.
Dosartvtt the Yncht.
Captain Coleman of the Dlmoak , after ro-
colvlng nn affirmative answer to the question
whether the boat remained intact , told the
people on the yacht that ho would lay by
until they could bo transferred to his ves
sel. A steam launch , four row boats and n
naphtha launch worn then lowered fiom tbo
Alva , which was rapidly sinking ,
und the owner and passengers , with
the crow ol twelve mon , were
soon nlloat and rapidly pulllu : : away from
th doomed crnft. Their exit was nouo too
: eon for when they were about a cable's
length from tholr vessel she made a violent
heel to port and righting acnln plunged' '
down , bow first , and nothing butthroo masts
slicking out of the water indicated the pres
ence of the magnificent ocean rover they had
deserted.
Sufuly I.uiulcd.
The party were all safely landed on board
the Dluioclr , which anchored and remained
until about 13:40 o'clock Iti the afternoon ,
wbon tbo fog lilted and her course was set
for Boston , arriving at the dock of the India
wharf about 8 o'clock this ovoning.
The Dlmock was going at a greatly ro-
diiced speed at the time of the collision.
Otherwise she would probably nave run
right over the Alva and a frightful loss of
life would have beeu I be result , owing to the
fact that all the passengers and one-half of
the crew were .soundly sleeping at the tlmo
of the accident.
She Wan n Floating Pnlnco.
The Alva , as Mr. Vnndorbilt stated In a
letter nt tbo time of her launching , was uot
built for spued. Safety and comfort were
the first requirements. She was n floating
palace and yachtsmen pronounced her the
finest vessel of the kind over constructed in
this countrv. uvlonoy badubcon expended
lavishly by her owner and It Lssunicient to
say that ho was fully sntlsllodi with
his vessel. She was a ' screw steamer
with barkontlne rlj. ( The Amer
ican list gives her custom house
tonnage as 1,143 and her gross lonnngo nt
000.55. She is 235 feet over all , 252 feet in
the water line , S3 S fcot wide nnd had a
draught of eighteen fcot. Tbo onelno was a
three-cylinder compound direct-acting tvpe.
A powerful dynamo engine supplied the
olcctrio lights with which the yacht was
lighted throughout. She was supplied with
stoam-stearing cear and a steam windlass.
She was built by Ilarlan & Holllngsworth
at Wilmington. Del. , in 18SO. Her designer
wns St. Claire Blrncn of Liverpool , Eng.
She is variously estimated to have cost
150,000 to $500,000. -
Tbo Dimock sustained some slight injuries
to her stem and bow , but they .were made
temporarily safe bv her crew , while she was
waiting clear weather.
So hurriedly were the occupants of the Ill-
fated craft obliged to leave that they were
all , with the exception of the watchman ,
scantily clad.

Col. , July 21. John D. nnd
Charles Hugglcs , the two brothers who
robbed the Redding stapo near hero several
weeks npo nnd killed Express Messenger
Montgomery and wounded the driver nnd a
passenger , were taken from the jail about
half post 2 o'clock this morning nnd hanccd
by about forty ormoil and masked men. The
recent sontlmontnl nttltudo of n number of
women toward the prisoners , ns well as the
line of dofcnso adopted by tholr counsel , who
has been evidently endeavoring to Implicate
Messenger Montgomery as n party to the
crime , had boon denounced by a number of
persons In the county , and it Is believed that
the lynching was duo to thcso causos.
About 1 o'clock this morning a body ot
mon , who had evidently rendovouzod some
distance from Iho town , marched through a
quiet street to the courthouse. The sheriff
nnd dODUty were asleep at homo , but the
mon roused the Jailer nnd compelled htm to
accompany thorn to the sheriff's oflloo nnd
forcea him to dlvulgo the fact thut the keys
of the jail were In the sheriff's safe. The
men spent nearly nn hour opening the safe.
Finally they secured the keys and wont to
that part of the building occupied as the
jail. The cells nf the two mon w ro opened
nnd the older one , John Kucglcs , asked the
crowd to bo lenient to his brother , saying ho
was Innocent ,
The brothers were handcuffed and their
hands tied behind their backs and were led
from the jail. The party walked several
blocics and stopped near the railroad com
pany's largo woodshed , whore n orobs beam
was suspended from two plno trees. The
ends of the ropes , -which had been placed
around the nocks of the two mon , were
thrown across a beam , and the mon were
tola ? they could make a statement. Tbo
brothers had llttlo to say. The older ono
said the younger ono wa Innocent. Ono
moment later , on a signal from thq leader ,
they were suspended about four fcot from
the ground. After securing the ropes the
crowd dispersed , and the bodies were loft
until cut down by the coroner about 0
o'clock. Passengers on the Oregon trains
saw the bodies from the car windows dang
ling In the morning sun.
Quito n number of Ridding citizens took n
hand In the affair , nnd the citizens nppeered
to approve of the summary justice meted out
to the murderers of Montgomery. The whole
affair was' well planned and executed. While
the oodles wore swinging seine ono suggested
shooting them , but the suggestion wns cried
down. Two-woman'witnessed the execution
and shadowy forms of onlookers seemed to
bo hidden every where near by. The Rug-
glos brothers wore well connected In this
state , tholr father being u well-to-do rancher
In Tulnro couutv.
At the tlmo ot the statro robbery Charles
Rugglos was wounded in the arm by tbo ex
press messenger and was abandoned by his
brother.
WINGED BY THE
Two Cowboys Hear Murks of Do Mores'
Mnrlcmiiansliii.
"Did you over lictir how the Marquis
do luoros 'winged' two bad mon in
ChoyonnoV" asked Jack Frnzlor of
Council Blufls. "No ? Well , it is not
much of a story , but it's a good ilfuHtru-
tion of the man's nerve and quick
thought.
"I was in the cattle , business in 1885
nnd became ; acquainted'with ' de Mores
in Denver in tno month of May. Ho
was n very polite man , but rallied in-
ciinbdto be olllsh , as wo say in the west.
About a month after that I mot him at
Barlow's ranch , about'twenty-fivo miles
from Cheyenne. Hovas mounted on a
vicious broncho , and appeared to
have a good deal of trouulo to keep his
seat. A couple of cowboys who had
been loading up on tanglefoot were
whooping and howling in front of Bar-
tow's shanty when the marquis rode
up. Tholr ponies were tethered , aiid
they were running footraces , and for no
reason on earth yollinir like Couianchos
in n war dunce.
"Ono of them began ' o gr.y thy marquis
'
on his horsemanship. Ho' made no rev
v > ly , but kept on talking to ino. . Find
ing ho could not bo provoked that way
the cowboy nickname ! Broadback Mor
ris , hecauso of his unusually broad
shoulder's , mounted his pony and with a
dig of the spurs began to show the
Frenchman how to ride. His compan
ion followed his example and in a cobplo
of minutes they were circling around the
marquis , firing oil their Winchesters ,
and using the most insulting language.
Whether the marquis did not under
stand what they meant , I do not know ;
at all events ho rolled a cigarette and
laughed at it.
" 'Drop that , you tcndorfootl' roared
Morris , pulling up his mustang with a
jerk. 'Drop that , or I'll clip it out of
your mouth. ' At the same tlmo ho
lifted his Winchester.
"Do Mores turned half way in his sad
dle , took a deep inspiration and blow out
a cloud of smoko. As it cleared away
the cowboy took deliberate aim und
lired. The cigarette was sent Hying in
different directions.
"Before I know scarcely wh\t < had
happened DeMoros hud drawn his long-
barreled French revolver from his bolt
and pulled the trigger , The Winches
ter dropped out of Morris1 hands. Ho
had been shot through both wrists. The
howl ho lot out could have boon heard a
quarter of a mile.
"Tho other cowboy was on Do Mores'
flunk. As soon as no saw him null his
gun ho grabbed bin rille , but nud not
tlmo tO'fuiso it before tbo marquis fired
the second time , just ns his broncho
gave a lunge and a buck. The bad man
tumbled oil with a bulletin his shoulder.
It might have been meant for his bond ,
for aU I know.
"What did Do Mores do thun ? Ho
rolled another clgaratto , lighted it , and
continued the conversation. ' '

are now holding a meeting to decide whethoi
to refuse to run the trains if Carnegie's

A story has been In circulation connecting

When O'Donuoll returned ho stated that his

In the fighting before Vlcksburg , says
the Now York World , the command of
General McGlnnls was drawn up behind
intrenchmonts in a hollow ut the foot of
a hill occupied by 20,000 confederates.
Grant rode up to McGinnis and said :
"Will your mon go up that hill ? "
"Thoy will go through boll , If neces
sary , " was the prompt roply. "AU
right , " said Grant , "thoy will have a
chance to do it after a while. " The re
mark wns made in a matter-of-fact way ,
and in a few minntes the order cnmn to
advance. It was a worse assault in
point of mortality than Unit on the guns
of Bnlaklavn , for four-fifths of the ad
vancing union column wont down in
killed and wounded , and after it was
over Generals Ilovoy nnd .McGlnnls and
Cclonel Spicoly "cried like childron" at
the loss of their mon. But the sacri
fice saved thousands of other union
lives und drew the enemy into a trap ,
putting the city at Grant's mercy.

Whenever the conferees on the sundry

that some ttmo will uo consumed In discuss

"Lightning plays some queer pranks/
said William Cathcart to a writer in tha
Globo-Domocrat. " I wns traveling
through Coles county , Illinois , soniu
ysars ago , and sought resugo from a
thunder storm in a farm houso. Tim
farmer undertook to build a fire in th. >
kitchen steve to dry my damp garments.
Ho was down on his knees blowing the
"
coals "vigorously , when there was it
terrific chip of thunder , and a bolt of
blue fire shot out of the steve into hm
face. Ho fell back as limp as a wet
newspaper. The lightning tore all his
clothing otT with the exception of ono
boot and trousor'e log. There was a
streak down through his beard , across -
his broust and down ono log as thoucrh
made by a'fed-hot ' poker. I supposed
ho was dead as a uoor-imil. His wife
picked up a largo crock of uiilk that
stood on the table and dashed it over
him , and in less than thrco minutes ho
eat up , surveyed himself and mournfully
remarked : 'Marior , you oughton to
