The Omaha Wheel Club, But one year ago the Omaha Wheel club was in its infancy, but to-day it is a full- fledged adult in all the particulars, numerical strength and vigor and is growing in im- portance every day. Already it ranks with the pest known clubs in the country, and is highly spoken of in wheel circles every- where, It 1s made up of an exceptionally fine class of young men, men of solld busi- ness pursuits, of brains, education, refine- ment and culture, and the club affairs are conducted thoroughly and intelligently.

ReADING, Pa., July 13,—Mos es Rothermel and Frank Templin, well knowu young men, met tuis morning in an oven field to decide who was the bully of Berks county. They fought with bare knuckles, strinped to the aist, no referec, kicking and biting allowed. 1ev brutally gouged aud Kkieked each other sifteen minutes, wheu friends took them in charge. Both were fearfully punished. Local Sporting News. Manager Philbin and the Omaha’s eleven men left for Kansas City st evening, The Omaha Rifle club will hold their first shoot at their new range northeast of the eity Friday. ‘The Rowing club will begin the erection of their new boat houses at Lake Manawa the coming week. J. J. Malone, the new manager of the Hastings, has already thrown up the job in disgust. “I'he corn cutters were too rich for his blood. ‘The Omahas can zet Ed Macon, who is in Cineinnati and pitching fine ball. The Mets want him, but by a little expedition Omaba can secure him. The lone fast Omaha ball admnirers must {n- dulge in owing to the present three wecks’ absence of the local team will havo a ten- dency to only whet their appetites. A combination run is being arranged by the Council Blulfs Ramblers and the Omaha Wheel Club for Sunday next from Omaba to Council Bluffs. Crescent City, Lake Manawa and return. Mr. Charlle DeMuth, the manager of the American express, received his celebrated chmroakodol to-doy ready for the field, frash from the hands of James Hall, tne well known Indianapolis dog breaker. 1t one more club drops out of the Western league its name is Dennls. 1t is to be hoped, however, that next Sunday’s meeting will re- habilitate the organization and put it on a sounder and more secure basis than ever. WFive wheelmen, Robert Smith, Guy E. Mead, Ed. Kallgren, H. J. Kosters and W. P. Enger, rode % Blair yesterday, Three of them, together with Ed. Bullock, now a resi- dent of Blair, returned awheel, the restby the evening train. ‘The Omahas battle with the Kansas Citys to-day. 'The three new men, Jentsen, Har- per and Fusselbach, will make their debut as Omahans, and it is to be hoped \Im{ will be instrumental In turning the tide of bad luck that seems to have overtaken the local team. In the opinion of a great many lovers of the sport, the Omaba management has an opportunity now with the outiny of a little money of engaging either Mctiniss or Wat- son, of the Cincinnatis. The organ says that an old head like McGlniss’ would be worth more to the Omahas than all the pay players in the kingdom boiled down Into one. McHenry Johnson Is holding himself in readiness to go against any man in the coun- try, barring none. He i3 in fine mettle and anxious for & fight, and can get backinz enough here in Omaha to satisfy the most mercenary representative of the mits the country can produce. The Star Is particu- larly anxious to hear from John P. Clow, He says he can do Clow with hands down. ‘That’s a great joke perpetrated in a morn- ing paper about mmebufla wanting to buy a couple of the Omalas. Well, now, that may be so, after all, for O’Leary received a letter from Tekamah the other day., wanting to know now much he and Harter and Swift would want above their board to come up there and play until their trouble here blew over, ‘The Hastings Daily Gazette-) ournal thinks the Omaha papers very small potatoes, but it turns right round and clips out a couple of columns of the BEr's base ball stuff and oc- cupies its valuable editorial space with the same. However, there are few newspapers with & hyphenated patronymic. but what they always got the keyart considerablo an- terfor to the equine. Mr. Ed Rothery will start a first class Fym- nasium in Omaha early this fall, miodeled after the famous New York and Philadel- phia gymnasiums. It will be equipped with all the pharaphernalia and impedimenta of & tirst class establishment, affording facllitien for sparring, fencing, ruuning, leaping, vaulting, wrestling, rowing, riding, lifting al gymnastiques of all ~shades, grad styles and varieties. The object is to inaugs rate a club and have the inmstitution con- ducted on the same vlan that governs the world renowned gymnasiums above men- tioned. Though Tommy Warren affects to hold ‘Tommy Miller's pretensions as fighter in sovere{gn contempt, he has 8o far been very careful to pin him down to the most strin- «ent rules in every communication he has written him. ~Actions speak louder than words and Warren’s actions in all the nego- tiations that have so far taken place shows that he regards Miller at least as a_very sus- Plclnus it not a dangerous man. The "opinz on of some of those who pretend to know of Miller’s capabilities as a fighter are as sure as they are alive that he will never be in a fight with Warren, while there are just as many others who are of the opinion that Miller will make him a rattling good fight If not best him, The writer has seen \ar- ren in & half dozen bouts durlnx‘o\ha past twelve months and koows him bo not only dead :ame, but one of the quickest, koenest, cleanest cut fighters the P. R. has ever produced, and Miller must be as fit as it is in the power of man to make him or he will be unable to see his wary oppoment in he last round. a ——— Cotton Brokers Fail. NEw ORLEANS, July 13.—J. D. Pett & Co., leading cotton brokers, suspended, owing to the tallure to reccive heavy imbursements expected to-day.

In front of the Smith estate on Tenth street he has already succeeded in procuring a new brick walk, spite of Smith's protest, und it is the councilman’s intention that in his district as least the rickety old wooden walks shall be sup- planted by pathways worthy of the name. Omaha has long been famous for her finely paved strects and notorious for her wretched sidewalks. Alderman Snyder has determi: to institute a reform, in 80 far as his individual effort can do it. It has been suggested that if the other councilmen are 3s active as Mr. Snyder, "':1 :I‘ty wili soon bave sroditable aide- w A TWO SIDES OF A STORY, Another Phase of the Sherman County Tragedy Given to the Publio.

Thies Reply to Max Lenhardt. Lour Ciry, Neb,, July 12.—To the Editor of the Bek: Dear Sir—Allow me to stute that the statement appearing in ‘‘Max Leuhardt’s” letter to lhe Bee un der date of July Oth, is a baseless and malicious fabrication. Here at home where ull parties are known, I find 1t altogether unnecessary to notice the scurrilous and almost ceaseless fabrica- tions of a crew who seta trap for Mr. Richardson, into which Mr. Willard fell, but froms a sense of justice to both Mr. Richardson and myself, I am imvelled to deny such a statement wien appearing 10 adaily paper of state circulation, and request that you give this denial as promi- nent a position in your columnsas v'as corded the ietter signed *“Max Lenhard the reasonableness of which request is self-evident, Yours very respectfully, M.

I wish to state that it 1s false in every sense, and what is more that I drew a revolver upon any one m life. 1 cannot help but admire the cter of a man who will make a false assertion under an anonymous signatare.

Bennett sent in his resignation as superintendent of the Pullman Pacific line. The resigna- tion was not accepted until last week. Pending 1ts acceptance, Mr. Bennett has been making plans for a trip abroad with his family. He has gone to Boston and New York, and will sail for Europe in a short time. For eighteen years Mr. Ben- nett has been superintendent of the Pull- man service, with headquarters at this city. The period of his servie menced with the crossing of the river by the Pullman cars. At th the line was the Pullman Pacific Car company and the depot was at the Union Pacific shops. Since Mr. Bennett began service the company has changed to the Pullman Palace Car company and covers a distance of 7,000 mile: tends from Omaha to Denver, Salt Lake, Butte and Portland, taking in the U Pacific main line, the Kan. i Utah & Northern, Oregon § also the Denver & Rio Grande. It has not yet been determined who will be ap- pointed to succeed Mr. Beanett, THI CAPTURED, Captain Cormick and Detective Hor- rigan Corral a Pair, Monday might two men named John Dailey and Ben Devine inveigled an un- sophisticated youth hamed E. C. Robin- son from Tenth street down to the foot of Jones street. When the solitude of the tracks was reached the two thugs jumped upon Robinson and relieved him of a silver watch. It became known to Captain Cormick and Detective Horrigan that the men had gone to the Bluffs, Yesterday the captain visited the other side and found his men in quod for va- grancy. Un presentation of facts the police judge gaye them a choice of thirty days in j:nfi. halt on bread and water, or departure for the Nebraska shore. They chose the latter and as soon as the dummy upon which they embarked reached this side of the river they were arrested. They now languish in central station, with a fair prospect of being cinched. Failed to Materialize, At the meeting of the council on Tues- day evening it was announced that a special meeting would be held last night for the purpose of passing the approp! tion ordinance providing for the payment of the firemen and policemen. The ordi- nance was introduced at the regular meeting and was read a tirst and second i is a charter provision pro- g that an appropriation ordinance cannot be passcd on the same evening of its introduction. Hence the announce- ment of a special meeting. But last night the council failed to.materialize. A search for the members at the Farnam street saloons where they most do con- gregate failed to reveal the presence of a single member—a notable circuinstance. As the proposed meeting was to provide for the payment of the firemen and policemen, it is immaterial whether a meeting was held or not. Meanwhile the tiremen and policemen can continue to give orders or ‘‘hang up’ their gro- cers or boarding-house keepers. Some time in the distant future they will get their pay. ———— Master Carpenters Meet. A meeting of the contracting oarpen- ters was held yesterdany afternoon at Clark's hall, when it was unanimously resolved that the nine-hour system should be adopted. With the view of making the movement %enorsl acommit- tee was appointed to call upon the con- tractors who have not already adopted the system and to bring before them the necessity of their acting in accord with the large majority of the musters who are in favor of shorter hours, Bk reporter saw Mr. Rosenterg at his mills yesterday evening and was in- formed by him that he had joined with the other miaster carpenters in the nine hour’s movement. “Then Isuppose you will now have your old empioyes back to work,' said the reporter, “No, 1 do pot think s0,”" was the re- ply. ‘‘The men thought fit to leave m; shops and Ido not feel inclined, muc! less obliged, to take them back again.” The Motor Elegtion. Scarcely any person wotNd have known that an election was in progress in Omaha yesterday if the papers had not previvusly announced the fact. The Omaha motor and the Northwestern street railway company ssked certain francluses which the electors were to vote uron. The vote cast was exceed- ight, ingly the matter creating scarcely passing attention, The frang! were earried, virtually by default. AMUSEMENTS. The hot weather doubtless had much to do with the small attendance at the variety theatr last evening. Tke Olymple had a fair attendance and gave the customary good show. The Fashion bad a small house, but the specialties of Billy Golden and Charlle Ross gave groat s3lalactigp Lp thoso 1p sitenasnce. FOR PRESIDENT. An Eastern l'nl|udpn Thinks Cleve- land Will beslRe-nominated. Colonel E. D. Bauiister, of Indiana, & prominent politicifn‘and member ot the state democratic ~committee, and one of the most observing students of politics in the country, who is at present staying atithe Paxton, was inter- viewed Iast e\"eniug by a representative of the BEE with fefard to the coming presidential election.» Mr, Bannister is a courteous gemlum@n""'bvn was in rather a reticent humor. “Will you give nle $our views with re- gard to the next democratic conventiou for president?” queried the reporter. “Well,”” smd Mr. Bannister, ‘‘as I have been traveling through the country, and have been over a great part of it recent- ly, it has been my observation that peo- ple are undoubtedly with Mr, Cleveland, and there is nothing Teft to be done but for the politicians to fall in line.” “Will Mr, Cleveland receive the nom- ination?" “Yes, 1think he will not only get the nomination, but will be re-elected. The people appreciate the general prosperity of the country under the present admin- 1stration and think the nomination is due to Cleveland.”” “‘How about Indiana?” asked the re- ter, The democrats of Indiana” Mr. Ban- nister replied ‘‘are now with the admin- istration and that state will send a solid delegation to the next convention for an administration candidate, There were some little differences among the demo- crats of the state but now all are satistied with the president’s honesty of purpose and more especially with hisdemoceracy.” “Do you think Mr Blaine will be nom- inated by the republicans?”’ “Well,” said Mr, Bannister, “that is something the repubiicans know more about than I do, but I think his friends are leaving nothing undone that will pro- mote his candidacy and election. The nomination will probably go either to Sherman or Blaire,” Colonel Bannis- ter, in speaking of the next presidential nomination, believes that General Stevnnson, assistant postmaster general, will be the most popular and available man to Jw upon the tieket with Mr. Cleveland. THE ROAD HOUSE QUESTION, Chief Seavey Will Draw the Lines on These Joints., Major John Cordon was arrested Tues- day for keeping open saloon after 12 o'clock atnight. The majoris bartender at the disreputable joint known as Pat Fallon’s rond house. His case was con- tinued until Monday. A man named Kirschbaum, keeper of a similar ques- tionable resort near the fi was fined. A man named Hill was visited but was not found open. The arrests were due to a visit by a detail ‘of Chief Seavev's men. Heretofore tbese road houses have been the scenes of unightly orgies, and numberless fights ml:f thefts have oc- curred at the dives ghich have never been reported, owinig to their location in the suburbs. It is l.!\n'f’uurposc of Chief Secavey to keep these disreputable houses under close surveillguge. Billy Nugent's Funeral. The funeral of Billy* Nugent, shot by Jack Killey on Jnly 4, will take vlace this morning at 9 o’clack, from St. Philo- mena cathedral. Theé R Father Me- Carthy will conduct, the scrvices and the remains will be interred in Holy Sepul- chre cemetery. ‘L'hé pall bearers will be Edward Milier, Herbert, Rothery, Richard Lord, William Golden, August Warren and flcnry Parish, Died at Her Old Home, Mrs. A. Monk died at Du Quoin, 1Il., on July 8. Mrs. Monk had been a resi- dent of Omaha for six years and had left the city for a vlsit to her old home at Du uoin. Mrs. Monk was the mother of Mr. Harry Gilmore, of this city. The bank clearings yesterday amounted to $457,207.91, A. Schmidt was arrested last night for aulting and beating a man named Simeon Nutzner. ——————— A DISSATIFIED GENERAL. Criticem on a Chicago Panorama by a ramous Veteran. A squint-eyed old fellow approached the manager of the eycloramu of the bat- tle of Shiloh, in Chicago, und said: “They tell me rou've General Jim Fa- gan’s pictur’in thur—Fagan, of Arkan- saw. “We have,” the manager replied. “Wall, I'd like to see it a minit. Don’t keer anything about seemn’ any the rest of the pictur’s, bus ‘jen nachully hanker arter secin’ Jim's. “You know the general, do you?" “I oughter. Don't you?” “No, I have never seen him, Step this way.” The manager conducted the visitor to a position from which he could get a good view of the gallant Arkansaw soldier, “Which isJim " “The one on the horse waving his sword,” the manager rephed, somewhat disappointed at the visitor’s failure to recognize the likeness, "hat feller chargin’ down there?” The visitor slowly shook his head, and in a sad voice remarked: ‘I am badly disappointed.” “I'am toid that it1s an excellent pic- ture, said the manager. “'Oh, yes, the pictur’s all right; mighty fine pictur; but it don’t look lide him.” *You must be mistake ir. “Wall, I just ain't. You don’t knw me do you?"' 1 do not.” “Wall, sir, 'm Gin'ral Fagan!” “‘Is it possible,” the manager exclaimed. *1t looks mightily tnat way,” the vis- itor replied: *‘I'in'the man that pictur’'s intended to represent, but I'll leave it to any man in this towi If it looks like me. I have hearn a good | dpal about thig pic- tur’ and while here I 'thought I would satisfy myself in regard to it. It's a bur- lesque on me, anybody-can tell that, and under a recent decision of the supreme court of this state [ eap bave it tuk outen there, and out she must come. I ain’t jokin', cap'n,” he added, asthe manager attempted, though with somewhat of a sickly result, to smile at what he hoped was a jest. “No, siridam inas dead, cold earnest as ever & man was, For sev- eral years now I've been held up to ridi- cule by that fly-up-the-creek, and I'm gittin' tired of it, es| (&l‘nll‘{ as I have de- cided to come out as a gandidate for gov- ernor of my state; and as there are a good many democrats in Arkansaw that were in the federal sriy, thurfo’ it ain't meet, a8 the soriptur’s day, for me to run asa war-horse. Také'out that pictur’, cap'n.”’ My dear genera replhed the now thoroughly aroused manager, ‘1 am very sorry that you object to your picture being here, but, really, 1 don't see how I can takeit out. The war is an issue of the passionate past, and I don't think that'any sensible man will vote against you simply by belng reminded of the conspicuous part you bore in the great ltmfgle. " “That's all very true, cap'n. Sensible men mout not vote agin me, but I have never sced the state where sensible men air in the majority. Send fer a feller with & brush and a bucket of paint, please, for [ want to see that cartocn wiped out. To tell you the truth,” con: tinued the general, after a few moments' reflection, “‘as vou seem to be & purty good sortof a feller, I would let it stay, a: 3 e but then all the expense of this here trip would be gone fur nothin'."” “What has the trlr cost you?" the manager eagerly asked. “Let me see. Well, about § “1'll give you $25 if you will withdraw your objections.” f ‘'L hate to do it airter havin’ ur.' “I know that, but you can console yourself with the thought that after ar- riving here you took a more sensible view of the matter.” “Yes, 1 can do that. Well, give me the money, and dinged if I don’t go home— that is, ef you'll promise not to say any- thing about this here affair.” The manager gave the general £25 and earnestly pledged himseif to say nothing. The next day an acquaintance, while talking with the manager, remarked: “That was a comical-looking old fel- low you had up here yesterday." Do you know him*'’ “Not verv well. I staid all night at his house some time ago. His name is Ba- brack, and heruns a sort of one-horse distillery and preaches occasionally down in Missouri.” NOT BOO Extraordinary Appetite of the New Boarder, Very few of the boarders had reached the dinner table. Old Mr. Rottle, the young iady boarder andthe bank clerk were. on hand, however, in the usual ante-soup attitude of expectanc, ready, as the bank clerk elegantly d it, “for a run on the kitchen come 8o e ING A BAKERY. The young lady boarder extracted her napkin trom her goblet, and said to the kclerk ina whisper: '\\'g are to have a new boarder to- ht. ‘'Is she young,” inquired the bank clerk as he counted the bananas in the fruit dish, *“No; sh an old Iady." “‘Hor! rejoined the k clerk, adding in the oranges and ding by the number of boarders plus the new on 1 am glad we are early,” he added. The maiden ladies arrived at this juncture, followed by the other boarders and the lundlady, Mrs. Codhooker, who was conveying a very small woman. “Ludies and gentlemen,” said Mrs, Codhooker, with a queenly wave of her hand, ‘*‘let me make you acquainted with our new boarder, Mrs. Gondel- dunk.”’ All the boarders bowed more or less, and old Mr. Rottle adjusted his spee- tacles with great care. Mrs. Gondledunk bowed siightly and seated herself. She wuas a determined- looking old lady in a cap. At her throat was a purple bow, the ribbons of whi looked like Rlunu pedals, and went v pat when she ate. Evidently she was quite an extraordinary old person, She refused to touch her knife and fork until a pitcher of hot water was brought and she had warmed her hands. “I never touch them until they are warined,” she exvlained to old Mr. Rot- tle, who was watching nnenflwlly. **Spoons and forks are so cold they really quite chill me.”” There was a twinkle in the old man's eyes as he said gravely: “1 once knew a lady who positively re- fused to let any one see her eat. She did not like to eat alone, soshe had stalls built around her dining room like bath houses on the seashore.” “I do not see the connection,” said rs, Gondledunk, acidly. 'hére is none, madame,’ answered old Mr. Rottle. The peeuliaritics of the new boarder, however, were but just beginning to ap- vear. She ate nothing but bread, but enough of that commodity to supply household. After she had devoured aleven shees, Peter, the waiter, was com- pelled to h\boring bakery ple Somehow the rs didn’t seem to notice the situation. The young lady boarder and tho bank clerk, having been forwarned about thediscrepency in bananunas, were very busy, and the two maiden ladies, who were never tired of recalling the fact that dear little Jonjou had taken third prize in the dog show, were still discuss- h‘t’) that important event. Id Mr. Rottle and Mrs. Cooker alone observed the state of things; the former with incpeasied astonishment and the latter witi |ncrl~nsin¥ indignation. The old mar kept tally of slices with crumbs, and at the twenty-fourth erumb the new boarder left the table, One by one the hoarders followed. The two maiden ladies went slowly up- stairs, and then the young lady boarder, closely attended by the bank clerk, who meditated inviting her to go to the the- atre if it wouldn’t cost him more than $4. At length old Mr. Rottle and the Iandlady alone were left seated at each end of the tabl ““A most extraordinary p erson, Mrs. Coodhdoker,” said old Mr.” Rottle with great emphasis. ‘A most remarkable person.’’ *'She leaves to-morrow,'said the land- lag; “What¢" “She leaves to-morrow,’”’ repeated the ady firmly. ou surely are not—" *Mr. Rottle,” wterrupted the land- lady, arising with flushed cheeks and in- dignant air, “perhaps you think I am running this boarding house just to boom u bakery!" s oy Econ By getting the best for the money, use a good and attractive looking delivery wagon in your business.
