with young Mr. Whltchlll'a slants. Eleven
of his choicest were straightened out beau
tifully , and along with them came 8ven
large , robust errors made by the Ilourke
family. Paddy Boyle , especially , let golden
opportunities go glimmering. Pedro , the
new left fielder , did nothing. Omaha fought

The Young Men's Christian association
athletes could not have chosen a moro per
fect day than yesterday In which to trounce
the base ball aspirations out of the Univer
sity of Nebraska amateurs. The sunshine
was just bright enough to make out-of-door
llfo a pleasure. The brcezo was Just strong
enough to turn the greener sldo of each
grass blade uppermost without carrying a
burden of dust from the diamond to the
grand stand , and the- air was rich with every
essence of vitality.
The grand stand waa well filled with
friends of the association , supplemented by
a number of Lincoln students , and to Judge
by the noise they made they were highly
appreciative of the efforts of the Y. M. C. A.
young men to amuse them. The Christians
played as though they never expected to get
another crack at the collegiate aggregation ,
and not contented with fairly beating them
oft the diamond they had the temerity to
knock Barnes , their crack pitcher , who has
made such a phenomenal record against
Western association teams , out of the box
In a single Inning.
The Christians played a wonderfully strong
game alt around. The feature ot the con
test was Rus McKclvey's brilliant work.
Ho collided with a fielder early In the game
and was knocked senseless for a few min
utes , but soon came to life again and put
up the prettiest game of ball seen In these
parts for many , many years. In flvo times
at bat he made three three-base hits , a two-
bagger and a single , and accepted nine
chances at third base without an error.
What moro could you want than that ? Rob
inson pitched a very strong game for the
Christians , holding tha collcglates down to
six scattered lilts. They were unable to
get more than four men to bat In any ono
Inning , and neither of their weak , atten
uated runs was within a mile of being
earned.
HOW THE RUNS CAME IN.
It would bo useless to tell the whole story
of the game. It was simply a case of see
ing how badly wo could beat the University
people from start to finish nnd they never
had a chance Io win at any stage of the
game. They went first to bat , but Hope-
well and Haywood wore each thrown out
at first by your Uncle Russell and Ran
dolph go a base on balls only to bo nailed
by Abbott' In his attempt to purloin sec
ond.
ond.Tho
The Christians scored once In their halt
on a couple of hits and some well calcu
lated sacrificing. Haywood went Into the
box at first for the visitors , nnd Stoney
plnced a neat llttlo hit past the short
stop. Crawford and Abbott both sacrificed ,
advancing Stoney to third , and ho scored
on n clean line hit over second base by
Robinson.
Hcald hit safely for the collegians , but
Robinson struck two men out and the third
died easily from Robinson to Jeffcrls. For
our sldo Jeffcrls fouled out to Barnes and
then Jellen placed a safe ono Just back of
third base and ran to third while the
fielders were holding the ball. Then Mc-
Kelvey smashed out n corking three-bagger
to the left field fence , Jellen scored and
McKelvey followed him over the plate on
Mnrquotto's single.
It was geese eggs alii around In the third ,
and then the visitors scored for the first
time. Barnes hit a hot llnor , which flew
from Stoney's fingers. Abbott's only passed
ball advanced him to second and ho made
a pretty steal of third to score on Hcald's
scratch hit to left Meld. It was while run
ning after Heald's fly that McKelvoy col
lided with Lawler , and was temporarily
disabled by a tremendous blow In the
stomach. lie was unable to arise for about
flvo minutes , but finally staggered back to
his base and played like a three-time
winner.
Wo scored twice In our half and then
the Universities gathered In their second
and last on a base on balls and a hit by
Haywood. Haywood was hit rather freely
by the Christians and Barnes went into the
box In the sixth Inning. McKelvey was the
first man at bat , and ho knocked the first
ball clear to the fence for three bags. Then
Marquette hit 'or out , and after Lawler had
struck out Stoney and Crawford each fol
lowed with clean hits. Abbott died on an
easy bunt to the pitcher nnd Robinson
struck out , but four enrned runs were In
and Barnes left the rest of the pitching to
Hopouell.
The rest of the game was Just the same
way. The Christians evidently made as
many runs as they wanted to while the
visitors could scarcely get a man to first
base. This Is the way It went :

PLAYED WITH A WOLF.
Tire Children IIu\o n Narrow Kacnpe
Su\e < l by Their Motliur.
The report that a couple of boys were In n
fair way to be devoured by wolves caused a
great deal of excitement Just after the ball
game at Y. M. C. A. park yesterday after
noon , and the report was In a measure true.
For a couple of months Mr. C. II. Hyadlne ,
2101 Miami street , has had a pet wolf , and
is has been a cause of great pleasure to the
children In the vicinity , and often would the
little tots bring It pieces of bread and meat
nnd so forth. Occasionally when tbo wolf
would bo troubled a great deal it would take
hold of n pant leg or something ot that sort ,
but It was not supposed It would bite any
one. Here IB where the trouble cnmo In.
Mrs. G. E. Peek , who resides next door to
Mr. Hyadlne , has two children , Alec , n boy of
3 , nnd Perry , ajod 10. The welt has always
been a great favorite with these boys , and
many Is the piece ofcake they have stolen
from their mother's cupboard glvo to this
same wolf. About two weeks ago , after
they had been playing , wlth the wolf for
lialf an hour , It became angered at some
thing and snapped at lice. The boy paid no
attention to it at tlio time , but continued to
[ ilay with the wolf. Yesterday things came
io a cllmox.i Mrs. Peck was preparing sup
; > er when she heard the most unearthly
screams. She rushed Into the yard to find
her boy Alec lying on tlio ground and the
wolf on top of him. The animal had
hold of the boy's collar and the boy was
endeavoring ! to drive It off with n pocket-
jnlfe. Tue wolf appeared very florce , and
all of a sudden released Us hold on Alec
and made for the other boy , Perry. It
grabbed Perry by the calf of the leg and
; ave him a horrible gash. The mother ,
when she saw the wolf In this attitude , was
nearly frantic. She stood as If she had been
.urned Into a pillar of salt , and looked.
The wolf was sinking hla teeth deeper Into
lie flesh ot the boy's leg , nnd she was about
o faint. She retained courage enough , how
ever , to slezo a club and beat the wolf off.
Notwithstanding she beat It almost to In
sensibility , it made another stand , and was
about to spring at her when Mr. Parmalce ,
a neighbor , hit It with a ball bat and
killed It.
Neither of the children are seriously In
ured , but they had a close call , and will
icar some marks whereby they may remem
ber their experience.
Mrs. Hyadlno , who owns the wolf , said
she had been In the yard a few moments
before she learned the wolf was at large ,
and she cannot understand how the animal
could get loose without someone setting It
reo. _
CARVED HIS UNCLE.
John Nichols Come * Iluck from Unnlnp to
Uat Kren.
John Nichols was arrested last night for
assault wit ) ' Intent to do great bodily harm ,
and the complainant Is his undo , James
Nichols.
The arrest grows out of an affair that Is
aid to have taken place last winter. James
Nichols , an old , gray-bearded man , said that
aim came to this city from Dunlap , la. ,
ast winter and had about ? 70 with him. Ho
nt once went to the residence of his uncle ,
forty-first nnd Hamilton streets , and made
Is homo there. Things went well for a
vhllc , but ono morning John woke up , and
nirrlcdly going to the room of his uncle ,
lalmcd ho ( John ) had been robbed of $40.
Io said ho was asleep , and that It must
iavo been taken from him about 4 In the
naming. Search was Instituted , but the
uonoy was not forthcoming.
John went back , to Dunlap. That was all
hat was thought of the stolen money till
ant night.Ho said a friend told him that
its Undo James had stolen the money. So
mbued with this Idea wa.s John that ho
ama all the way back from Dunlap to lay
ho crime at his uncle's door. The latter
cnled any knowledge of the money nnd
old his nephew It was either lost or stolen ,
'he latter would not have It that way.
That was about 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon , and the nephew left , ostensibly to go
to the jmstolllce. Ho returned about 4
o'clock and bald he wanted his $10 and wan
going to have It. Ho did not wait for an
unauer , but with a huge knife In his hand
he made for his aged uncle , with the words ,
"You will rob mo , will you ; I'll murder
you. "
The undo was terrified. Ho ran from the
house with the young man otter him nnd
eallcit for help.
Olllccr Poole then arrested John. Ho
ecems to bo slightly out of hla mind. He
has no doubt lost flO In some way , as he
can bo hoard swearing vcngoancu on the
man who took It , and ho swears ho will
yet kill his uncle ,

those most familiar with the situation In
the south has the Interest been no general
as at present. All other Issues arc wholly
obscure. The features of the contest that

friends the greatest apprehension arc the
declarations of the majority of the domo-
cratlo war horses of the old school of pol
itics against returning to congress n man
whom they consider as having disgraced
the scat that has been occupied by Ken
tucky's most Illustrious sons. In the south
the masses arc more prone to follow a few
leaders than In the north. This Is olio of
the relics of the civil war , nnd the same
ciualltles that made confederate officers who
faced death at the front of their divisions
popular with the rank and fllo gave them
positions as leaders In the political ( leld
when peace was secured. Hence , when this
clement declared Its Intention against re
turning Ilrecklnrldgc as a result of the
miserable scandal , the mass of democratic
voters were not slow to follow. Ilreckln-
rldfio appreciates this peculiar Influence , and
Is making a vigorous effort to regain his
position along the same line.
PLAYS THE "LOST CAUSH" RACKET.
As a result of this combination the sin
gular circumstance of seeing prejudices ,
supposed to have been burled with tlio "lost
cause , " appealed to , Is now being witnessed
In Kentucky. Hut tlio man who Hilda the
hands of the majority of his Influential
friends against him Is making a powerful
weapon of his record as a confederate sol
dier. Very quietly ho Is shaking hands with
the men who enlisted In his command In
' 01. For Instance , ho meets ono of this
class , and , with that air of sincerity which
oven Brccklnrldgc's enemies admit that ho
possesses to a marked degree , ho greets
him. At once the subject of the Pollard
case comes up.
"Yes , " remarks the congressman , "this la
a miserable thing , llrown , n miserable thing ,
and the worst feature of It Is that some of
my friends think r want them to condone
It , but not so. Hill Drown , I can bo
candid with you. We v/oro boys together
nnd I know you haven't forgot that llttlo
service I rendered you when wo wore light
ing 'round Richmond. I was badly mixed ,
up with this young woman. I have never
denied It. Hut that did not prevent mo
serving my district , you know that. Now ,
llrown , you were never Involved In a thing
Illto this , and God knows I am glad of It ,
but I want you to glvo mo another chanco. ,
And , llrown , I need the confidence of my
old army friends moro than they suspect.
You know these northern politicians have
never forgot the side wo were on In ' 61 , I
don't say they Induced this young woman
to make this matter public , but they aro.
'
aggravating the situation. But Jf they desire -
sire to persecute mo for my war record , I
don't object , for I am proud of It. Well.
Brown , good day. Remember mo to the
folks , and If you can conscientiously vote for
mo I hope you will , but at any rate , 1)111 , .
think as kindly of mo as you can. "
Now this kind of thing might not pass ,
muster In Nebraska , and may appear thor
oughly ridiculous In aomo respects , but'
Brccklnrldge Is said to have strong hopes ot
winning along this line.
SETTLE DABBLES IN "DIIAW. "
If Brecklnrldgo Is not nominated the choice
of the democrats , it Is believed , will be E. E.
Settle , n bright Lexington lawyer. But even
Settle Is under a cloud , for a case Is pending
ing In the court of appeals , brought by Mrs.
Settle to recover from a number of prom
inent Kontucktans several thousand dollars
lost by her husband In a llttlo game of draw ,
poker. This falling , however , never dam
aged Henry Clay's prospects with the voters
of this district , who Invariably spoke of It
as the Ashland district In honor of the great
statesman , whoso homo In the suburbs ot
Lexington bears this name. In this connec
tion It Is Interesting to note the fact that
Oasslus M. Clay , sr. , the best living typo
of the great Henry , Is being spoken of as
the republican candidate. In the event Breck
lnrldgo Is rcnomlnatcd. Ho Is now
84 years old , but still possesses much
of the flro of youth and love
for politics which distinguished him
ns n pioneer abolitionist. Whllo the
mantle of Henry Clay did not fall on hla
eminent relative , Casslus M. , Clay as a re
publican candidate would nfousc much on-i
thuslasm. Still since the days of the old
line whig party ho has been a member of
so many parties that his political complex
ion Is at present In doubt. In the Ashland
district at the last election Brccklnrldgo
received 16,500 , the republican nominee 9,433
and the populist 730. No prominent democrat
can bo prevailed on to run Independent.
George Sweonoy of Lexington Is probably
the most available republican candidate In
the district.
The return of Brccklnrldgo to the church
has by no means secured him the support of
church members. The people of the district
do not forget the biblical teaching that a
sinner may securei Raving grace at the elev
enth hour , but many think that the colonel's
appeal to bo taken back In the church Is
similar to the prayer ot the Individual who ,
when falling over a precipice , exclaimed :
"Lord , forgive my sins , and please bo d n
quick about It. " G. 0. P.

Demands of tlio Union Turllla C'nimo An
other llltrli In tlio I'rnrocdlnga.
CHICAGO , May 19. Tlio general meeting
of the Western Passenger association lines
which was to have taken place today has
been postponed till next Tuesday. A con
ference lasting all day wax held between
representatives of the Itock Island , Bur
lington , Atchlson and Union Pacific lines ,
but nothing definite waa arranged by thorn.
The troubles of the Western Freight asso
ciation are now apparently over for the
lime being , at least , The action of the (
/Uchlson / and the Missouri Pacific In do-
clurlng that they wore willing to put up
the rates has restored harmony all along
the line and no further trouble Is looked for
it present.
Late this avonlng the Union Pacific made
i demand In relation to the uattlomcnt of
the emigrant rate troubles , which bids fair
to upset everything , It demanded Itu eastbound -
bound emigrant bimlnesi should rccelvo the
name consideration as the westbound. This ,
the other lines claim , Is dimply allowing
thu Union Pacific to manipulate- eastbound
rates at Its pleasure while thu other llne.i
xro bound by an agreement. It Is not bo- ,
leva the Atchlson will allow this condition j. , '
io exist. This in can a the destruction of tha [
imlgrunt agreement , and unless that l set-
lied everything elsu In the way of an agreq-
nont between the western linen In doomed.
