COSTLY ERRORS K THE CAUSE. The Coming Colt Races of the Omaha Fair—-Yesterday's Tarf Events— Two Nebraska Gan Tour- naments, ten in Eleven Innings. The game between the Omahas and Leay- enworths yesterday drew 500 spectators to the ball park. The contest proved one of the most exciting of the season and ought to have resulted ina victory for the Omahas, because they both outbatted and outfielded the visitors, But costly errors by Walsh in the ninth and cleventh innings cost themn the game. Walsh has been playing In bad luck for some time and yesterday was not an ex- ception, Ie had two balls which were properly his, jump from clods fn the uneven ground over his head. On the ninth inning, when the score wasSto 5 in favor of the Omahas and it appeared as if they had vic- tory in their grasp, he fumbled a hot ball with two men on bases and allowed the runs to commence. ‘I'he visitors rllenl up three as a_consequence of that one hreak, snd thus continued the struggle be- yond the usual limit. On the eleventh in- ning, with two men out, he lost a ball just lm; ,:mumlh to allow a man on third base to et in, gBut it was not altogether Walsh's bad ’l‘_ln)'mx which won_ for the Leavenworths, hey had a pecullarly strong run of luck at the right time. With two men outon the last inning, Fitzsimmons, who never before ade a thr se lnt in his life, sent the all among the carriages outside the ropes in the left field. It was that advantage of good luck and one Omaha man’s poor luck which secured the visitors the game. Noticeable good plays were a left-hand catch by Messit, of the home teain, on second base, and Dwyer’s four or five stops of wild balls which ‘were thrown him from thira base and short-stop.

The Vigilance of the Sergeant-at-Arms Prevents a Well-Planned Forgery. ‘“SUNSET" COX THE VICTIM, An Instance Cited Which Shows That Such a Thing As Impartiality Does Not Exist in the Departments. A Nice Little Game Nipped. WASHINGTON, June 4.—|Special Telegram to the BEE.]—An ingenious attempt to com- mit a fory v on the sergeant-at-arms of the house of representatives was perpetrated a short timo ago. It was fortunately dis- covered in time to pre: any loss. About three weeks ago a letter was received at the oftice dated from New York and bearing the New York post mark. It purported to come from Congressman S. Cox, and as he is known to use a private secretary the body was written in one handwriting and the sig- nature in an entirely different one. 1t asked that the sum of $247 be paid to the order of Mr. Leatch, clerk of the Riggs house, in pay- ment of his (Mr. Cox's) account there. Ten days after a letter came signed in Mr. Leateh’s name and enclosing a receipt for €247, This note, which was brought by a distriet messenger, stated that the writer supposed that Mr. Leedom had by this time received an intimation from Congressman Cox that he was authorized to pay the sum mentioned to Leatch and asked that the money should be sent by the bearer,or if that was not convenient, that a check should be made out payable to the bearer, The sus- picions of both Mr. Leedom and the paying teller of the office were, however, aroused by the fact that this method of doing business was entirelv unusual with Mr. Cox, who was accustomed when paying his bills to give a check for the amount due. Accordingly Mr. Leedom sat down to write a note to Mr. Leatch, saying that he could not pay the bill until the end of the month, which was two days distant. While he was engaged in writing this, however, another note came, also signed in Mr. Leatch’s name, asking that the money be not {mld to the messenger, as the writer himself would be up at the oftice and get it in person, as he did not want any one to know about the matter since it was entirely a personal affair between Mr. Cox and himself. A yisit to the Riggs house soon showed that some one was trying to impersonate Mr. Leatch and a telegram to Mr. Cox revealed the fact that he had never sent any such letter as that imputed to him, Steps were immediately taken to secure the arrest ot the Imposter, but up to the present they have been fruitless. If there had not been some unus- ually almrr men in the sergeant-at-arms of- fice, the plausible story would have cost the office a nfce little sum. This s the third time within the last year that attempts have been made by means of forgeries to secure government " cash fromn this oftice. It is nearly a year ago since a check was present- ed by the runner of a bank in this city for something over a $100. The signature was a very clumsy forgery of General Long's name, and 1t was at once detected. The next attempt occurred two or three months ago and Congressman_Houk’s name was the one used. The forger in this instance was an ingenious fellow. After writing out the check he made it apvear as _though it had been Iundled- leal. Then he wrote on the back the following: ‘‘Judge Houk, Tortit ke gen et o dnnlir o bt (t 7 — comn! 3.4 esaham. Notwithtanding his highly original endorsement and the fact that Mr. Leeflhaw’s name was spelt wrong, the forger induced some tradesman to buy the check, which was for a comfortable sum, and cleared out.

The North German Gazette, Kreuz Zeltung, and other government organs are brimming over with articles rejolcing im the prospects of peace and evincing an optimistic tone generally, It is assumed that the spirit of Chauvinism is fora long time at rest with the retirement of General Boulanger and that peace is assured for an cqually long time, A high ofticial of the government here was asked for how long a time peace was secured. His answer was: For this year, an It the czar meets the two emver- ors in the autumn and consents to sign a treaty of alliance, ‘nrobthyl r five years. ‘The nature of the Russian re- sponse to Prince Bismarck’s overtures, how- ever, Is doubtful.” Bismarck is determined to nonciliate the czar, as he considers that by 80 dnlnf he would to a considerable extent soothe Irritation and settle the differences that now exist. The first instance of this concillatory policy i8 his acceptance of the ukase restricting” foreigners’ rights in Rus- sia. Sir William A. White, the British min- ister to Turkey, who has estates in Poland, and a host of Austrian, German and French aristocratic families who are land owners in Poland, will take private yetconcerted action to influence the czar in case of the failvre of the powers to take action against the ukase.
