After presenting the Lincoln aggregation
of base ball player * with six nuccnlent tallied
yesterday afternoon the Omalms maliciously
went to work nnd batted out n winning.
Jnmcson wns In the box for the homo team
nnd pitched a very effective game outside of
his wlldncss In the first Inning , which netted
the visitors three unearned runs. McVey.Mnn-
agcr Kourko's new acquisition , made his Ini
tial appearance on first base nnd signalized
his debut before nn Omaha audience by
smashing out a home run with the bases
full , , JIe put up n good fielding gama , too ,
nnd Is evidently ji ball player.
The locals failed to score In the first ,
fleery took n base by virtue of his ability to
distinguish good balls from bad ones , and
Munyun struck out. McVcy's ground hit to
Pcqulgnoy afforded n double play , which re
tired the side.
Then the Capital City aggregation came In
nnd scored three times without a hit. Mc
Carthy hit a hot one to Rourkc , who let It
go through his fingers , and a wild pitch ad
vanced him n base. A quartet of bad balls
sent Johnson to first , and Jameson's wild
throw of nn easy bunt performed a similar
office for Merles. Another wild pitch ad
vanced every end n base , while McCarthy
crossed the plate. Hbrlght got a base on
balls , and Johnson was thrown out nt the
pinto on Spoors' hit to Rourkc. Sullivan
went out from Rourko to McVey , but nnother
run wns purloined on the play , and Lawrence -
renco retired the side on a. long fly to Mornn.
This was bad enough , but when Merles
llfled ono of the Swede boy's curves over
the left field fence In the second Inning ,
bringing In nnother trio of runs , the fans
doned a disgusted look nnd gave It up. But
In the third Inning the Omaha crowd showed
unmistakable sings of returning nnlmntlon.
Boyle got a base on balls , but Jameson's
long hit fell Into Lawrence's basket. Then
Mr. Sccry Injected n llttlo enthusiasm Into
the gnmo by a clean two-bagger. A base
on balls for Munyun filled the bases with
ono man out. At this Juncture , McGreavy
accidentally propelled the sphere over Just
thnt portion of the plale whore McVey likes
to see them. Ho will know better here
after , for Mac took ono turn on his heels
nnd smacked the leather clear over the
fllrcet car tracks. Four runs came trund
ling over the plate , while the crowd took
occasion to stand up nnd yell for fear It
wouldn't get nnother chance.
In the fifth Omaha made It binding by
adding three runs on hits by Munyun ,
McVey , Wood nnd Fear , abetted by a couple
of errors on the part of the visitors. They
scored once each In the sixth and seventh ,
and In the eighth Munyun added another by
the third home run of the gnme.
Lincoln was unable to score more than
once after the second Inning. In the
eighth McCarthy got a base on balls and
Johnson's long hit brought him home. The

CREMATION IN AMERICA.
Incineration Han lioromo an Kvory-Day
Affair In This Country.
Some months ago there died In New York
n romantic German , who bequeathed his
body to the flames nnd his ashes to the
winds. To height-en the effect he ordered
that his Incinerated remains bo scattered
to the breezes from the top of the Liberty
statue. Ills requests were followed , nnd
his ashes found a resting place In every
cllmo , carried on the decks of vessels and
on tlia waves of ' ( he Atlantic llko a ghostly
messenger to nil the points of the compass.
The Incident created but a passing notice ,
says a New York correspondent , for crema
tion has became an every-day affair with us.
Since 1885 , when five bodies were incinerated
at Fresh Pond , L. I. , over 1,000 crema
tions have taken place there , and of
these the Germans claim nt least GOO. From
1881 to 1891 the cremations In Amer
ica number almost 3,000 , and today there are
In this country sixteen Incorporated crema
tion societies , with crematories at Fresh
Pond , L. I. , at Detroit , nt Roxbury , Mass. ,
at St. Louis , at Los Angeles , at San Fran
cisco , nt La Crosse , nt Daltlmore. at Pltts
burg , at Troy , at Watervllle , N. Y. , at Gcr-
mantown , at Huffalo and at Cincinnati.
One curious Inconsistency has developed In
the agitation for cremation of the dead. A
host of great men nnd women have declared
themselves unequivocally in its favor , but at
death few have left directions for Incinera
tion. Among those who were outspoken In
their views wcro Phillips Brooks , George
William Curtis and Prof. Joseph Leldy. Of
these only the last named was at his own re
quest Incinerated , the services taking plnco
May C , 1891.
The rules governing cremation arc Inter
esting , these nt Fresh Pond , L. I , , being as
follows : Each application must bo made by
the person having charge of the disposal of
the body or his representative ; a blank form
prepared by the company must bo filled out
and filed In the olllco of the company. On
the nillng out of this application blank , pay
ment of the Incineration fee , and the pres
entation of the physician's ccrtlficato Ftntc-
tng time , place und cause of death , an order
directing the Incineration Is given the appli
cant. To this order the undertaker In
charge ot the body must have attached the
customary certificate of the Hoard of
Health. Every incineration must bo at
tended by some relatives of the
deceased or representative of the family.
The price of Incineration Is $35. This
doss not Include transportation or under
taker's services. Children under 10 years
are cremated for $25. No special preparation
of the body or clothing U necessary. The
body Is always Incinerated In the clothing as
received. The roflln In which the body l.s
carried to thu crematory Is never allowed to
ba removed from the building , but Is burned
with the body. In every Instance of death
from contagious disease no exposure of the
body Is permitted. Incineration may bo as
private as the friends of the deceased de
sire. On the day following the Incineration
the ashes are deliverable at the ofilco In a
receptacle provided by it.
Among recently compiled statistics con
cerning cremation , these of Fresh Pond , L.
I. , have a peculiar Interest , In tlmt they glvo
the nationalities of the Incinerated.
The following birthplaces were given for
1,038 bodies cremated there : Germany , G2fi ;
United States , 317 ; England. 37 ; Austria , 22 ;
Switzerland , 22 ; Franco , 21 ; Hunxary , 10 ;

they were : Men , G74 ; boys , Bfi ; women , 275 ;

In San FrancUco from November 12 , 1893 ,
when the crematory was put In operation , to
February , 1S94 , tlfty-nlnu bodies have been
Incinerated.
In St. Louis the cremations last year num.

PLAYING FOR A PRIZE CUP
Omaha Cricketers Begin the Season's Contest
with a Short Game.
BOWLERS WERE ENTIRELY TOO STRONG
Ilnttnrn Maila lint I.lttlo Ilrmlwny Agulnn
the hte.uly Work of the VnitRhnin ,
Mnr lmll nnit Dcijlii-Iluttered
by thn Hudilcti Storm ,
One week ago the weather was so wintry
that not enough cricketers turned up nt the
ground out In Kountzo Place to make a
game possible. Yesterday the season had so
far advanced that not only did n full com
plement of players appear , but the game
was then very nearly stopped by a regular
nummcr storm. Fortunately , however , the
storm was a little too far to the east to
do any real damage.
About 4 o'clock n. very promising start was
made , although none but the cricketers who
were cricketers and nothing else were there.
Hase ball and lawn tennis were each of them
very powerful counter attractions. The teams
were the ones chosen some two weeks ago
for the opening day , although the opening
day had been postponed for a week. They
were captained by the president and the
vice president of the club respectively.
President Lawrlo took his men to the
wicket Prst , and the side stuck together
fairly well until a score of 3i had been put
together. Six months without a bat In one's
hand seems n long time when the oppor
tunity comes around again to take up the
"willow" and try one's best to best the
bowler.
Additional care was taken by all the
players yesterday by reason of the fact that
the records of the day's play wore to count
toward the averages for which cups will be
presented at the end of the season. Howling
has always been a strong point with the
Omaha cricketers , and with four of the
best bowlers of the club In the field It Is
not to be wondered at that the runs were
not more plentiful.
F. II. Marshall and A. Gavin opened the
Innings of the president's side , but did not
make n very promising start. Marshall was
very soon out for n paltry two by a ball from
George Vaughan that hit him on the foot
and bounded off onto the wicket. Gecrgj
Wilson , however , made a good stand against
the bowling of the two Yaughnns , and It
reemed that they would never get a ball past
him. When W. U. finally got him out of the
way there was not much further opposition.
Lawrle. who went In third wicket down , was
disposal of by n very pretty catch by William
Henry Smith , late member for the Strand di
vision. IIo never In all his life collared n
ball so effectively. It really seemed as If
there wns no possible escape for the llttlo
cricket ball , once It came within range of
these big hands of the said W. II. S. Dr.
Young went In too late to do much In the
way of real tall scoring , but ho tied with W.
Vaughan for the second highest total of the
match , and moreover ho carried out his bat.
Just as the last man of the side had gone
In the wind began to blow sand across the
pitch In such clouds as to make any more
play for the time being out of the question ,
nnd preparations were hastily made to leave
the field to the elements , which seemed to
have something very unpalatable In store.
For some time It had been evident that rain
was falling very heavily In Iowa , and It
seemed that at last the shower had crossed
the river and that It was going to take
possession of the cricket field. But It did
not. that Is not Just yet.
The Inning was finished , the men were
placed In the field for the opening of the
other side's innings and W. Vaughan and
Taylor took their places at the wickets.
Doyle sent down n ball. That was all. Rain
drops the size of silver dollars began to
fall. Every player made a bee line for the
stops of the neighboring church , the nearest
of them , that Is. When the rain finally
ceased and the sun came out In the west
and smiled across the river qt the rainbow
on the other side , the gnme was quickly
brought to an end nnd the players went
homo satisfied with the first day's cricket
of the season of 1891. The Presidents had
won by 34 to 20.
The bowling averages below speak as elo
quently as any words of the excellence of
the bowling. Dut the fact that the winning
side's score was obtained without the aid
of a single extra should be noted as evi
dence of the good fielding of the losers.

Solid People In London Tnkn Up thn
Champion and Pot Him.
LONDON , April 29. Corbott Is wlnnliiR
In London fnmc of qtlltc n dlfforcnt sort to
that expected. Tlierd Is none of the rabble
worshln nnd vulgar sensationalism which at
tended Sullivan's visit n few year ) ago. On
the contrary , the champion has avoided nil
the forms of notoriety fstially associated
with the prize ring and has shunned nlao ,
much to their disgust , the usual gang of
sports who expected to constitute his retinue.
The result la that the great fighter has boon
taken up by an entirely different class , who
nro making a social lion of him. Men of
position nnd wealth , who have learned that
he Is a gentleman boxer nnd not a bruiser
and blackguard , have entertained him so
cially this week for every hour ho 1ms been
able to spare. The champion has been In
vited to breakfast , luncheon nnd dinner dally
by men who would not think of ns'ochtlnB
with such pugilists ns Sullivan or Mitchell.
Corbott appreciates these honors keenly ,
for he makes no secret of his desire to prove
himself a gentleman In spite of his occupa
tion. The absence of the rough element In
his audlcnco Is being recompensed by an In
creasing attendance of such classes of ladles
nnd gentlemen as ordinarily visit Dmry Lane
theater , so that the financial success of his
visit Is assured. Ho Is laboring now under
an embarrassment of offers. A large music
hall has offered him $2,500 weekly for the
summer , which he will be probably unable to
accept on account of engagements In the
provinces , Ireland and Paris.
SWEET AND SERIOUS.
The Conductor' ! ) Llttlo Dciiilhoad Passenger
Had Found Her Mother.
Ono cold , dreary morning there was n
keen norther blowing the northbound train
pulled out of the San Antonio depot , says
the Texas Sittings. As the train sped on lts >
wny the conductor made his usual tour to
collect fares. There were not many passen
gers on board , and In the last car there was
but ono. A thinly clad , ragged little girl ,
with n pinched , white face , occupied one of
the seats. She was so busy talking to n
rag baby that she was oblivious to the
kindly faced conductor , who looked at her
with surprise nnd nmusmont.
"Where arc your folks , sissy ? Who
came with you to the train ? "
"Dolly came with me , " she replied In a
matter-of-fac't manner , holding the doll nt
arm's length and critically examining her
toilet.
"What's your ndm'o ? "
"My name Is Fanny ; but mamma always
called me 'Little Pet. ' "
"Where Is your Tfnnmma In San An
tonio ? "
"I don't know where , she Is , but me nnd
dolly are going to find her. Mamma went
away , " f '
"When did your mamma go away ? "
"A long , long tlmojAgo. They put mamma
in a long box when php was nsleep nml she
went away on the cars ; but mo and dolly
will find her. " ' '
The conductor salt down on the seat op
posite to his little deadhead passenger nnd
by further questioning satisfied himself that
the child's mother had died and the remains
had been taken to sonic other town for in
terment. , .
"Hut you don't knpw where your mamma
went. " ho said. > ) ,
"Me and dolly iwlUijflnd mamma ; she told
me so laot night. " i i
"I3ut you told mo Just now that she went
away a long time ago. "
"I know ; but she came back last night.
Mamma hissed me , just llko she did before
she went away. She looked so white , just
llko eho did when they put her In the long
box. "
The conductor took ono of the child's
emaciated hands In his own. Her hand was
hot and there was a feverish flush on her ,
wan cheeks.
"You are not well , sissy. I'll send you
back to San Antonio to your papa. "
The next moment two thin arms went
around his neck nnd the child was pleading
nnd sobbing.
"Don't send me back. Let me go with you
nnd find my mamma. That woman will bat
mo again. Don't send mo back and I'll give
you my dolly. "
The conductor understood It nil. The llttlo
half-starved wolf was running away from
some brutal woman , possibly n cruel step
mother. It was only after ho had promised
not to send her back that she released her
hold on his neck. The conductor fixed her
up a nice bed with his overcoat and left her
happy , chatting with dolly about "mamma , "
but two tears rolled down his checks ns ho
left the car. Severn ! times during the trip
he looked into the car and saw his little
deadhead passenger sleeping peacefully , hug
ging dolly to her breast.
At last the northbound train crossed the
long bridge over the Colorado river and
halted at the Austin depot. The southbound
train had already arrived , for here It was
that the trains met nnd the passengers got
dinner. The conductor hurried to the dining
room , nml In n few minutes returned with n
cup of coffee and some delicacies for his
llttlo friend. Jus > t as he was entering the
car he was halted by the conductor of the
southbound train , who held a telegram In
his hand.
"I say , Tom , Is there a girl on your train
deadheading her wny ? "
"Why do you want to know ? " was the
gruff reply.
"Because I've got n telegram hero from
the girl's father , telling mo to bring back n
runaway child. "
They entered the car where the fugitive
was still sleeping.
"Wake up , llttlo ono. Hero's some coffco
for you. "
On the little pinched face was a tear nnd
n smile. "Llttlo Pot" had fornd her mother.
A DUBIOUS LANDSLIDE.

The landslide near Holbrook , which

PHILADELPHIA , April 23. At the cn.l of
the llrst week ot the great coal strike but
ono mlno Is In operation In the districts east
of the Allcglmnloa. That mine , which Is In
the Phllllpsburg region , near Osceota , em
ploys but 100 men , nml It Is very doubtful If
the melt now working In that mine will resume -
sumo on .Monday. Threats nro mniln that If
they do not quit they will be visited b > deto
nations from other mines nnJ compelled to
do so. The supply of coal Is fast becoming
'exhausted. ' The miners claim that the strike
can laat but a few days longer. The oper
ators In Hooch Creek nnd Cloarlleld dis
tricts say that they will mnko no attempt
to start their mines unless work Is resume !
In other regions , ur until It Is learned that
orders are taken and being- filled In the
other districts.
everything Is quiet at the Ocnnlngton and
Klttanlng I'olnt mines In Dlalr county , the
men showing no disposition to return to
work. The Cambria county miners , numbtr-
Ing C.OOO men , arc also quietly waiting re
sult of the strike. Wet a lump of coal has
been mined at Galltzln , Frugality , Hastings.
Mills , South Fork , Summer Hill , Portage or
Dens Creak nnd the supply on hand nt these
mines Is almost exhausted. The strikers
show no signs of weakening and are hopeful
of the ultimate result.
In the Huntlngton district everything Is nt
n standstill. The East Ilroadtop and Hunt
ingdon and Ilroadtop miners uro out to a
man and say they will remain out until the
strike is settled. Reports from the Cum
berland minim ; districts arc that the men In
the mines In that region are working and
that there are no fears of a strike.
The Kemble Coal and Iron company's worka
at Huntingdon were the last to strike In
that district , laying down their picks nnd
quitting the mine yesterday.
The general opinion seems to bo that the
strike will not last through another week.
There Is already some talk of u compro
mise nnd it Is believed that an understand
ing will be reached between the miners and
the operators without consulting the presi
dent of the United Mlno Workers associ
ation.
BAHUOUHSVILLE , April 28. It Is given
out hers today on good authority , coming
from the miners themselves , that at least
200 of the 300 miners at the Jelllco mines
In this county will rcsumo work Tuesday
under the old contract and scale of wngss.
WATCHING AND WAITING.
Neither Slilo In the Oreat Northern Strike
Nuking 11 Move.
ST. PAUL , April 28. The Great Northern
strike situation today was one of quiet watch
fulness on both sides , so far as appearances
wont. It Is probable that much was being
quietly done by the company but there was
no sign of It. No trains , either freight or
passenger , were moved In cither of these
cities and so far as heard none wore moving
along the line to the coast. It Is a complete
tie up ot the 4,495 miles of track In half a
dozen states. The other roads in this city
who use Great Northern tracks for terminals ,
were allowed to switch with their own train
crews , but no regular switchmen were nt
work. The men avowed themselves as In
tending no violence and seemed to do all
In their power to keep others from injuring
the company's property. The brotherhood
men have apparently not joined the strike
actlvoly , further than to refuse to work
without regular switchmen. President Hill
has claimed to have plenty of men ready to
work , but no trains went out. Ho said to
day that he would make no move until he
was ready to start a train through to the
coast and that ho was preparing for that
time.
President Hill today received a telegram
from Superintendent J. D. Farrcll of Spokane
saying"All your engineers , firemen , con
ductors and brakemen here are ready to go
to work when you call on them. " '
Mr. Hill says bo has more than enough
men to go to work.
The engines for branch line trains were
standing In the union depot yards today
waiting to be attached as soon as the trains
had been backed down. They had been
brought out of the round liouso without any
dlfllculty and were manned by old engineers
and firemen In the Great Northwestern serv
ice. The cars , however , were not there , nn'i
their absence was explained by the fact that
nobody would handle the switch engines to
move them from the yards.
In the yards there was no appearance of
unusual excitement. A number of the regu
lar switchmen were on hand ready to work ,
but as there were no yard engine crews they
had nothing to do. It was Impossible to
ascertain how long this state of Inactivity
might continue. Mr. Hill Is , however , busily
engaged In completing tils plans to operate
the road.
Not a freight car Is moving on the Great
Northern line from St. Paul to Seattle. Pas
senger trains are running Irregularly to
Grand Forks nnd back. The track was torn
up two miles east of Devil's Lake , N. D. ,
today and the train Is held there. Reports
from Minot state that 140 feet of track there
was washed away.
Tonight at 10:40 : o'clock Colonel Swayne
received a call from Marshal Cronan of North
Dakota for the assistance of troops and four
regiments of the First battalion of the Third
Infantry , under command of Major Patter
son , have been ordered for Grand Forks at
C o'clock In the morning.
DEVIL'S LAKE , N. D. . April 28. Pas
senger train No. 3 , carrying the > usual quota
of deputy marshals , In charge of Marshal
Cronan , was coming along at a good gait
towards Devil's Lake this afternoon when It
was signalled by a farmer. The train was
stopped nnd It was discovered that some ono
had removed the rail , spiking It down again
In such a manner It would have ditched the
train had It not been discovered.
ST. CLOUD , Minn. , April 2S. Another
desperate attempt was again made by the
company to send the freight train on west ,
but It proved absolutely fruitless , and the
engine has been returned to the round
house. Many crows were ( tilled without
avail.
CHICAGO , April 28. The Knights of
Labor will take a hand In the great North
ern strike. The general executive 'board
today ordered the men out , and Grand
Master Workman Sovereign left for St. Paul
tonight to give his personal supervision . to
the Initiation of the Knights part In the
general strike.
COAL MINKHS STILL SOLID.
No Itreiilc In the Ilium mid 3Ioro Men Quit
Work.
EVANSVILLE. Ind. , April 28. At a meetIng -
Ing of the coal miners last night , It was
decided when they leave the mines tonight
to not ro-enter them until they recolvu or
ders from the headquarters of the National
Mlno Workers union. This affects about
COO nun hero. The mines along the Evans-
vlllo & Indianapolis railroad and the Louis
ville , EvaiiHVlllo & St. Louis railroad are
Idle. Thu COO factories In this city are
threatened with a shutdown , as thora Is not
a week's supply of coul on hand. The men
seem determined to remain out to the end.
JELLICO. Tenn. , April 28. A meeting , at
tended by hundred ! ) of minors at Coal Creek
this evening was addressed by several organ-
Iztrs and ai ihu conclusion the men agreed
to come out May 1.
ST. LOUIS , April 28. The coal minors

conference was held , which resulted In an
ngiemnont to stop mining coal for the gun-
oral trudu until the strike Is nettled. Under

Secret Scheming of the Company I'ullod by
KiiRlnrcrs' Loyalty.
SEATTLE , April 28. II has transpired
that the Great Northern has a well laid plan
to break the strlko on this end of the line ,
but It was foiled by a clerk In the ranks of
the strikers. The Incipient break arose from
appeals to the loyalty of engineer * iuul
trainmen to their brotherhoods which came
from the east. Doing promised recognition
of brotherhood men by the company their
enthusiasm for the strlko began to cool nnd
they announced themselves as ready to go
to work. At a conference with the local
olllctals the engineers , conductors and
brakemen were promised concession ; ) if they
would go to work. The engineers and train
men promised to accept , provided that the
firemen , who were not present nt the meet
ing , would assent. 1' was arranged that the
train should go out nt the regular hour this
morning. The firemen , however , refused at
n secret meeting to accept the conditions
nnd thu engineers refused to go out with
scab firemen. As the Ilromen were a unit
on this ijucstlon this disposed of thu forces
of the strikers.
All operators on the line have received
orders from Chairman Jones of the Order of
Hallway Telegraphers to return to their
duties , ns the strike wn < not ordered by the
order. The telegraphers last night replied
to Chalrmnn Jones' dlspatcU , saying they
sympathized with thu American Hallway
union and would stay with the strikers.

HELENA , Mont. , April 28. Proceedings
were begun In the supreme court today < m
behalf of the attorney general to compel the
Great Northern to operate Its lines within
Montana. A petition will bo filed which
sets forth the organization of the road and
recites that on April 13 , In violation of UH
duty to the people of this state and In vari
ance with its obligations assumed In the ac
ceptance of Its franchise , It wholly ceased
to operate any of Its llnea within the state
nnd still refuses to do HO , or to carry any
freight or passengers or to accept nlllicr fur
transportation und has wholly abandoned
operations , that It Is fully able to opurato
and run Its trains , that It has abundant
means to do so and that there nru at nil
points along Its line within the state n siiiii-
clent number of compi-tcnt and skilled mun
who can ba engaged lo do HO ut reaaonablu
wages and ut loss wages than uro paid to
similar employes upon any other line in
Montana , that the counties In the northern
part of thu state are almost entirely depend
ent upon the Great Northern for transporta
tion facilities und that thu neglect of the
road to run trains has already resulted In
f great loss to Inhabitants ; wherefore , the at
torney general asks the court for nn order
upon the company , commanding It to appear
and show cause' why a writ should not bo
Issued compelling the company to operate
Its road as It was operated previous to
April 13.
These proceedings will be followed by an
application to have the charter of the road
within thu stuto forfeited on account of the
failure to operate the line. The court has
taken the application under consideration.
