There w s a Rreat assemblngo of "feet runners" nt the fair Rroundsycstcrday after noon to witness the 100-yard sprint between Frank Sullivan , known to his many friends ns the ICId , and Leon lazier. The match wn for $50 a side , pistol shot start , Shefllcld rules , nnd attracted n vast deal of specula tion nmonu' the followers of the path nil over the state. ltor.\cr \ is n turf-tried old professional , well versed in nil the tricks of the trade , nnd probably ns good n llfty-ynrd man ns there Is in thn country , Sullivan Is a mere boy , n handsome llttlo follow , who lenrneJ his lessons In footoloy | In nn entirely different school than that from widen lazier grad uated. As n consequence the provnillnp eciitlmonl was that Leon would win , if not by nlmhleness ot foot , by his superior goner- nlsldp after thu men had toed the mnrk. There wns of course plenty of Lozlor money on hand , nnu for n time It looked ns tf the outside bets would bo both scarce nntl small.

The team of ball players with the former nnmo of what the people's party hold here a year ago , were thu victims of Win Camp's pitching nt Nonpareil park yesterday afternoon hut not so easy , cither. Hardly half a crowd wns out to watch n stubbornly contested game. It wns a case of hard hitting when hits were made , no less than four triples nnd n homer out of n total of nine safe ones being made. The South Knders put up a fairly pretty game , just peed enough to land them winners by a couple. Lawler was hit by n pitched ball In the first iuninc , .stole second nnd got across nu Lacoy's low throw to catch him nnd n half passed. Bowman opened the fuurln with a trlplo and scored on a wild pitch. Miller pounded out n homo run in tlio sumo inning. Dolnn ulso got around on his biso : on balls , a steal of second , Lawler's saerillco nnd Gate- wood's poor throw of Crclghton's llttlo push to short. At their next whirl at the plate Creighton's team scored their fi/th and last run on Oatowood's high throw of Davis' ensy one , the latter going all around on the error. Thu Nonpareils commenced cporations In the second. Lacey placed a nice single , going to second on Aloriarty's out from Ken nedy to liowman , and scoring on Hrndford's beauty of a trlplo. The latter scored on the next ball pitched , which was too wild for Art Creighton to touch. Davis' yellow muff off Mahonoy's drive to center wns mninly responsible for the run to the credit of the Nonpareils In the third , and Morlarty's thrce-hagper and another wild pitch accounts for their run in the fifth. Carrigan's error , that studied an otherwise sure double play with one man out , gave the ' 1'aroils three In the sixth. Camp , Gatowood nnd MoAulIfTo divided equally the errors for the Nonpareils , wlulo the Crclghtons were pretty ovcnly uis- tributcd. Dnlan'B hnndliiiK of n scorcher from Mahonoy's ' nub , and .lollen't hard run in nud catch of Howmnn's high 0110 were the best features of n very good gaiuo. My , how glad they are down south.

Carl Hrunor , another suspect thought to bo the third party who wns i\t Courtland bench on tlio night that Frank Iturdlck mot his death , was taken in about 1 o'clock this morning. When occasion required , an Omaha audience can bo ns patient ns any body of people in the wide , wide world , and patience wns certainly required last night at Uoyd's theater. An audience , representative in character , with the musical colony largely in the lead , was present to welcome the Mormon Tnbcrnaclo choir , but the cnolr catno not , till 10 o'clock. On this occasion It was not the slcknois of the prlmn donna or the loud objection of the tenor to some member of the company takhif , ' the center of the stage oftcnor than necessary that delayed the opening number of the program , but It was the inability of a railroad lo get the Salt Lnlni organization In on lime. Although thu choir left Chicago Saturday at midnight on a special train over the Hock Island It did not arrive hero until after ! ) o'clock last evening. A more thoroughly disgusted lot of musicians rould not have been found anywhere than the members of the Taburnaolu oboir last night. Without so much as breaking their fast for fifteen hours , except as they might got a sandwich along thu road , the ladles and gentlemen went on last evening , rendnring thu program in an exceptional manner , all things considered , 1'rovious to the appearance of the choir , F. 1C. ( iillcsplc , representing the Salt I/\ko Tribune on the journey of thu vocal organiza tion , told the story of what had attracted the members out ofion and the success that had hem mot In competition with east ern organizations. Then , to kill time , he described Prof. Stevens , thu director , and how ho had ascended the ladder of success from a section hand to the position of promi nence lie now occupied in thu musical world of Utah. Then catno a description of the Tabernacle at Salt Oko in which the choir sings and other features hardly consonant with the occasion. And thuaudionco watted l.n Mm nntl. Hut the audience was amply repaid for the long wait alter the choir had settled down to the program of the evening. Thu opening number , a stirring chorus by Stephens ( "Hosanna" ) , wassung with line effect , when empty stomachs nnd milled tempers are taken into consideration. There was a tendency on the part of the sopranos and basso * to flat , but Director Slovens pulled them up before the finale was reached. A duet , "Consolation , " by Musdames Nolllo Uruce-Pugsley and Uessio Dean-Allison was a line bit of work , the contralto particularly appearing to advantage. After hearing the male chorus of sixty voices in "Cambria's Song of Freedom , " it is easily understood why the chorus entered the competition for the 1,000 prize at the World's fair. It Is very much doubted if an Omaha audience over hoard a male chorus to liner advantage. Excellent In attach and correct In tempo there was a swing and dash about the rendition that called out well deserved applause. Mrs. Agnes Olsen-Thnmas , a petite bru nette with a fine mezzo voice , pave a quaint Norwegian ballad by Ole Hull. Mrs. Thomas sang with rare feeling and showed a thor- outrh musical training. The ladies' chorus rondercd the "Mother's Lullaby" by Stephens in a manner which showed how thoroughly the director had them in hand. Tlio composition is wonder fully suggestive of Mendelssohn nnd bis "Songs Without Words " but , although sug gestive thuru is no intimation of plagiarism. Mr. H. D. Enston , thu solo tenor of the company , sang ' 'Annie Laurie" no better than a dozen Omaha tenors can sing it , who nro not posing as soloists. Thu event of the performance , however , was easily the big chorus "Worthy is the Lamb , " bv Handel , a composition exceedingly ditlleult , requiring the finest measure of attach to properly bring out the lofty beauty of the theme. Tlio composition has never boon heard to hotter advantage in Omaha , and thu con sensus of opinion was that the choir de servedly ranked among the choirs of the world. ' Hungarian Airs , " by Krnst , was selected by Mr..i Willard E Wciho to show his ability as a violin soloist , but cither his se lection was a bad onu or else Mr. Woiho docs not possess the technique necessary to reflect the thought of this tone pout. It was expressionless in rendition , tlio opening bars being played in a very amateurist manner. And his accompanist was like unto him. The company , after foraging upon the hotels and restaurants of the city , loft at 1 o'clock for Denver. "Old Olsou" nt ihn I'unmm. "Olo Olson , " an oia time favorlto In Omaha , is at the Faniam Street theater for .inur nights. The engagement was opened yesterday , crowded houses greeting both the afternoon and evening performances. "Olu , Olson" is an interesting comedy with a Swedisli dialect part as the central figure. James T. Mi'Alpinu assumes thu role of Ole Olson and ho does It creditably. Ho pjs- sesscs a good voieo and his songs are well re ceived. Hu Is assisted by a strong company with one or two exceptions. Dully Foster as Ooniu Dimple is all tlmt in required and in stills a vast amount of life into the perform ance , while Miss St. George Hussjy as Mrs. Bridget O'Flannican assists in keeping up the interest. Colonel Albert lluublcrappears as Olo's big brother Olaf , when m fact ho is a diminutive specimen of humanity , boincr only twenty-nine inches in height. The play itself Is a comedy of merit and the thread of thu story is very romantic. There are a number of oxclting climaxes and the explosion of the powder house is u realistic piece of stage mechanism.

EVIDENTLY THOSE OF A WOKKlNGMAN Dr. llotmrit nnd Companion Do Mnnio In- vontlziitlne with SlnrtlliiB Itosntts rnmtllilllty tlmt Anutlior O rno l.lc * In tlio Pool of lleutli. Yesterday two human hands were found floating In Cut Off lake within thirty or forty feet of the place where Fr.iuk Hurdlek's lx > dy was recently found. The hands were these of a man nnd uro ijulto largo. The ghastly discovery wns made by Dr. Holmes of 420 South Twenty- sixth street and K. Arthur Foulks of the American Kxpross company of St. Paul , who Is visiting Dr. Holmes. The bauds nro not these of Htmlluk , the man who is thought to have been robbed and murdered a-wcok ago , Several men have been mysteriously miss ing of Into , and among thorn wcro Iltirdlck and "Swede Charley , " n hack driver. Hutu were recovered dead In the waters of this vicinity. These things have created much talk und many people now buliovu tint If the Inko Is thoroughly dragged other bodies will be found. Many rows have taken plnco on the dis puted territory of Cut Oft Island and a few murders have followed. There nro a num ber of saloons In that vicinity which nro used as n rendezvous by some of the toughest men iu Omaha and Council Hinds. Since Coiirtlnnd beach has been established nud beeomo such n popular resort for the people , the tough element has had to keep further awny from the lake. Not long ngo some of the rowdic * who Infest that locality , became so bold that they attacked and nearly killed two police men , who attempted to arrest them , 'loughs nro not permitted to cntur or loiter around the beach , and it is thought that they lay around tlio saloons and the outside of the fence for the purpose ot robbing .somo un fortunate , who strays away from the beach. Must or these loafers are known to the police , and the oflicers say that some of thorn would commit murder , without hesita tion , for the purpose of robbery. This class of moil evidently believe that "dead men tell no talcs , " as attested by Burdlek's generally conceded murder. Why Dr. Holmes U'ns Intcrostinl. A week ngo yesterday Dr. Holmes nnd Mr. Tzschuck , accompanied by their wives , were rowing on the lake in the evening. Tney distinctly heard throe long-drawn-out screams as If some one was in mortal agony. They thought some ono was drowning and answered the cries. Receiving no response , they rowed to the plaeo near whore Ilur- dick's body was found. They heard someone ono splashing through the water , going toward thu shore. They could dimly dis cern the outlines of a man in thu darkness. They shouted to him but received no ans wer. Nothing particular was thought of the matter until Uurdicd's body was found. Dr. Holmes and A.r. Foulks wont out to the lake yesterday to quietly investigate things. They rowoit to the spot where the body was found. W.iding from the boat , Dr. Holmes soon found footprints deeply im pressed in the mud. Ho followed them and the tracks led him to thu bank northwest from the terminal of the tramway. Near this b.ink was seen a mound of mud , prob ably a muskrat's home , where some one had evidently sat down. This is about the place where they first saw the man leaving the lake a week ago. Dr. Holmes now thinks thatUurdiek was slugged , robbed and carried out in the lake by this man who sat down on this mound in the weeds and watched the party whilu they were search ing for the person whosu screams attracted thuir attention. Hu began searching the lake for the weapon which ho thought might have been thrown into thu lako. While ho was doing this hu discovered a white linen handkerchief. Ilorrltlutl at Anotltor Discovery * Ho was about to call the attention of Mrs. Foulks to it , when ho suw a large hand stick- inc i partially out of the water. After de positing the handkerchief and bund in thu boat hu investigated further and found thu mate : to the hand. It was about six feet further west from where the first ono was discovered. Ho took the dismembered hands to the boat house at the beach and securing a bathing suit returned to the place where ho found thu hands and Instituted a thorough search to see if hu could linu the body to which the hands 1 belonged. lie worked at tlio L'ruu- some task until fatiguu and heat compelled him ' to stop and ho returned to Omaha. The doctor locked the hands un in his oftjcoand notified thocoronurof I'ottawattamiocounty. Iowa 1 , who will go to the beach this morning and take charge of the ghastly find. The hands are evidently those of a good- sized man and tlio linger and thumb nails ire broad , being almost square. Thu doctor is of thu opinion that they belonged to a aborlng man , The back of the hands were covered by a thick growth of long , black lair. They were like a pair of gloves. The skin was lacerated in the palms near the wrists , but it ii thought this was the effect of the water. The slouching on" of the skin is regarded as being some what unusual. Thuory of Murder or Suloldp. Dr. Holmes and others who assisted in the search lire of the firm bcllnf that the body of the man to whom the hands belonged is ly ing in the bottom of the lake and is hold down by something. He and others will continue the search today snd sco if they can solve this mystery. They regard it as strange that the hand should bo found BO close to whom Hurdick's liocly was found , and the circumstance has caused all sorts of rumors. The theory had been advanced that this portion of the lake is known by a gang who lind It a convenient place to dispose of their victims , and that the man who vras seen by Dr. Holmes and party a week ago last night is one of this gang. This spot Is quite a dist - t inco from CourUand bniieh and is not con trolled by the management of that resort. The oltizons who live in that vicinity and this sidu of the bench say they will ask for hotter police protection. ELECIED THEIB DELEGATES.

It Is said , by ono who knows , that the monotony which Is generally suppo.iod to bo connected with federal positions Is largely Imaginative. About throe years ago nu Incident occurred In connection with the work of the customs ofllcu that resulted m some epistolary humor that was pretty peed in its way , botweeu Suvoyor Alexander Of Omaha air !

Mr. Alexander had been some timu in ofllco when Mnjor McArthur was appointed , utid as u good deal of business was being tran sacted at the Omaha custom hnusu tlio former was supposed to bo good authority on those matters. Surveyor McArthur was not only now to the business , but the ofllco itself hnd just been created. Omaha being nearest at hand and of an obliging disposi tion as regards its customs ofllcials , it was but natural that when any llttlo matter came up through which the light was not clearly visible Surveyor McArthur should appeal to his Omaha eo-oniclal for Informa tion. It came to light In Lincoln that eggs were being shippo.l from that burg to Canada and McArthur conceived the men that they should p.iss through the customs olllcur's hands before being hauled nwny.so hu wrote to Surveyor Aloxairler as follows : KiKi iiro being shipped from hero to Can ada hy the carload.

Both Airs. Cleveland and her babe are as well as the conditions will allow and every one at the executive mansion wears a happy smile of contentment.

Detroit Free I'ross : Ouo day , as Irodo along tlio banks of Powell's river , where it heads In toward tlio Cumberland mountains , I overtook a native ami his wife walking toward a tttoro and saw a mill half a milo farther up the stream , and for the nako ( if company I ulmitod with them on thu way.

IIM Kdiirntlnn Conrrnn tlio llrnkr , tlio C'.iiitrollrr and tlio l-'inr. 1'rosidont Daniel P. Lewis of the Hrooklyn rily railroad says In the Brooklyn Kaglo that while there was not a regular school for moUirmon em ployed by the company In the sense that they sat down to desks or studied out the scientific principles governing the working of the trolley railroad * tlu-ro was n regular system of training through which evurynmii was put be- fore being pormlttod to run a oar. "The Hrst thing that a man must kiu > wMcmtiiiuod Mr. Lewis , "is how to handle- brake. There could Ixno but ter material , so far us that ipmlltv is concerned , than a man who Is familiar with ii horse ear and UMM ! lo handling the brake on one of them. Those men who are with this tvunpuny as horse car drivers furnish us with almost the en tire ytipply of motormen. Heing so familiar with braking a Imrse ear , it is only a matter of a few minutes for tlii-iii to leurn how to bring thu heavier trol ley cars to a standstill at the right spot. Tim next thing about which they are instructed is the controller. That is the handle which they have to turn to regulate tint electric cur rent. They do not have to know any more abuut tlio working of U than to turn it one wnv turns on the current and that turning it the other way shuts it ell. A little practice and they know how much power Is necessary to .send the car at a certain pccd and how to regulate it so us to keep from starting or stopping the ears too suddenly. Then there is one more thing about which they must hi ! informed , mill l.hiiL i * tlm fnmi liny. The fuse is a small piece of load about three inches long , and not so thick as a lead pencil. It has copper ends. If by turning the controller too suddenly more power is purmiitud to pass through the wired than there should , this piece of lead melts , and with the Hash which it causes the ear will cnnm to a standstill , for there is no more power. The motor- initn then has to put , in a new fuse , and as they always carry extra ones in their pocket and the work of adjusting it con sists simply in dropping the copper ends into little slots , it does not take any great amount of ability. The use ol the fiiho is to keep the strong current from reaching the armature and burning it out. As the armatures are expensive , it is principally a matter of economy. When an armature burns out it also stops the running of the car. In such a case , or when for any ether reason the ear is disabled , all the motormitn has to do is to get it back to the de-pot. A motormait has to kn nv nothing about this mechanism of the ear and , aside from the fuse box , is not called upon or expected tvi try and make any repairs. If we should taky men thoroughly familiar with thu trolley sys tem ami its principle , men who could take apart a motor and put it together again , they would not make a bit liottor inotormoii than the majority of the horse car drivers. Wo take the drivers and pay them while they are learning to run the trolley cars. Wo give them two or three lessons , of two days each , and by that time they should be able to take a car out alone. When learnimr an ex perienced man gros oiu with them and watches every movement and tells them just what to do. There is nothing to improve thu ability ol the motormun , excepting practice , and everything they have to learn iihinart man should bo able to do in a lesson.

In that event the House of Lords m.iy not bean an unmixed evil. "You will bo told by the professional agi tators that the rejection of the home rule bill by thn House of Limls is a tempor.irv setback ; that after Mr. Gladstone has passed two or throe British measures it , will again be sent U ) the upper House , and that then on its defeat , the ( -rand old man will KO to the country and lie swept , back to power on a great tidal wave of popular indig nation against thu lords.
