Best time—2:19. The Third and Last. Harper, the new Omaha pitcher, made the hit of his life yesteraay, and should now re- tire on his laurels. He only gave seven men bases on balls and hit four others. It seemed that if he couldn’tsend a man to base one way, he'd do it the other, and after the Omahas had won the game in the second 1n- ning, by piling up seven runs on a beautiful bunching of hits, he turned right around and gave it away by the most slovenly work in the voints seen on the home grounds this season. Jantzen, the catcher, was aiso off, and caught and played all round like the veriest novice at the game, 1in truth the local battery yesterday was an unqualified botch, and when at its bestitis but of the most ordinary description. Both sides were kulsomined in the first loning, but in the second the Omahas on seven corking hits, including Walsh’s home run and Messitt’s two-bagger, and a bouguet of errors by Johnson, scored seven runs, and the liandful of people present howled with lelig| 1n the second and third the Topekas scored a single tally each, but in the fitth they took the cake, the crackers and the bakery, rolling up no IO?I than six runs and not making a single hit. the old thing worked, and is 18 the wa 1t is & fair sample of the whole game. Stearns went to first on five bad balls, stole #econd without half trying, and went to third on a passed ball. Werden was hit by Harper, and ran down to the next blf on a passed ball, Johnson hit out toward Dwyer ‘who got the ball and threw home in plenty of time to cateh Stearns, but of course Jantzen muffed the ball, and Johnson took second. Macullar then goes to first on balls, and llu){:r thumps Goldsby in the ribs, and Wer- den 18 forced in, and still the bases are full. Bneed lines one to second, and Messitt by a Illunnlng throw home ‘nips Johnson at the late, leaving all the bases still occupled. en to liven up matters Macullar runs home on Jantzen’s third Kund ball, and the others move up s base. Arden hit to Harper, who threw to first, but too late, and on Dwyer’s throw to third to eut off Goldsby, the ball gets by Messitt, and Goldsby and Sneed both sore. Gunson is sent to first on balls, forclog Ardner to _take second, and the next minute he ran clear home on another rnud ball, Stearns out to Bandle ended he agony. Tiore Jantzon went to the fleld, Bandle to recond. essitt to third and Fusselbach be- 'xll;:ul the bat, but the change did not bring tory. The Topekas tried hard to lose the game, but it was impossible, and just as darkness ‘was coming on they knosked in & couple of rTuns and the game was ended. 4 THE SCORE. OMAWA. POS. All, K. BH. TB.

POLICE BRUTALITY SUSPECTED, How a Colored Cyprian Perished in the Liock-Up and the Start ling Rumors of the Cause. A Woman's Strange Death. Georgie Clark, the castaway, whoso death yesterday morning at the city jail compelled & non est in her case to be rendered as a plea, promises to attract more attention in death than she claimed in hfe. The circumstances of her death are nvolved in such conflicting accounts and formed such a large space in yester- day’s papers, that the Beg, determining to ascertain the full facts as obtainable from opposite sources, detailed a re- porter last night to visit all the persons connected with the affair in any manner. The deceased is universally described as having been of a color between mulatto and black, of a vivacious disposition, possessed of an education obtained at ‘the high school 1n this eity, and being a skillful pianist and and a good singer, She was born and raised in Omaha, where her mother and sister now reside, and took to the town after the death of her husband,who com- mitted suicide on account of jealousy at her light conduct. She was in a measure reclaimed by a man named John W. Fielding, with whom she lived as his mistress, adding to her support by him in playing on the piano at various houses of ill fame in the city. kielding, who Is also known by the name of Shakespeare, was formerly a soldier and latterly in partnership in the liquor business with Hans Young, whose sudden flight from Omaha some weeks ago with the part- nership assets, compelled the re- maining partner to accept [y bartender’s place at the saloon opposite the Metropolitan hotel, on Douglas street, where he was found last night by a reporter. He is a white man and disolaimed any regrets or shame felt for the ambiguous position he sustained towards the de- ceased, alleging gratitude on his part for kindness received when needed, at her hands as the reason of his forgetfulness of color in bestowing his protection upon her. His story is as follows: On Monday night between 10 and 11 o'clock he saw his paramour going towards thoir lodging place on Farnam street and followed her, thinking by her gait that all was not right. On passing the corner nearest to her abode, she was observed by two policemen, one named Brady and the other whom he does not know, who also followed her. Se main- tained her gait until reaching her home, where she fell 1n a swoon in the vestibule. There she was met by the proprietor of the house, a man named Ewalt, who, in- stead of assisting her to her room, sig- naled to the two policemen, Brady and the unknown. Their arrival and his own were simultaneous. He begged the offi- cers not to arrest her, disclosing his re- lations to her and assuring her that he would remove her to her room and pre- vent any disorder. They disregarded his entreaties and remonstrances, and order- ing bim grufily to ‘move on,’ dragged the woman along the flags in her insensible condition to the nearest patrol box, tully forty feet away. By this time she suffi- ciently revived Lo be able to talk, and en- tered the responsive patrol wagon with- out much assistance. Fielding fur- thor said he followed the patrol wagon as far as possible and arrived at the station in time to see the woman then partially recovered from her stupor, thrust into a cell with a dissolute white woman namwed Rose Maley, who resented the intrusion and the two began a free fight. ~ Fielding says thai fought for a long time undisturbed by the p(flice; he alleges as his reason for not interfering and demanding of the police that they separate the combatants, his fear that he would be locked up, an event which would prevent his presence in court in the morning with bail to lberate his dusky friend. Continuing, he says that after some time when the yells of the women became unbearabble, Officers Ormsby and Crawford eutered the cell and parted them. In removing the de- ceased to another cell, Ofticer Crawford, who bad hold of her, brutall struck her, not once but several times. After being violently thrown into the new cell she never spoke. A reference to witnesses who saw the brutality was furnished. ‘While Fielding was narrating his stor; to the reporter, Ofticer Crawford in uni- form enterea, demandinga retraction of the statement in an afternoon paper that he (C.) violently dragged the woman from the patrol wagon to the jail. This retraction Fielding ehoerfulli made, de- nying the utterance of such a charge, but persistently refused to exonerate the officer further. French Em's house, in which the dead woman had often in life played the piano, was next visited. Both the pro- prietress and the inmates bore witness to the many good qualities of Georgie Clark, and said they seldom saw her under the influence of liquor, and never helplessly so. "It poor Georgie had come here last night,”” sald French Em, leelu:‘gl'y. “this would not have bap- ned.’ J. P. Dorwood, a black man, was found at Wood's hotel, on Capitol avenue, be- tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets. He was a prisoner in the jail aL the time of the occurrence, and corroborated fully all of Fieiaing's statements regarding Urawford's brll!lll(fi. He says he will swenr positively to the blows struck, and the 1dentity of Crawford as the man who struck thema. He further says the women were q‘nurdud to fight, and such taunting remarks as “Hi Rose, you got to sleep with a nigger to-night,” and others of a like kind were usea to ewasperate and anger the white prostitute, The body of tho deceased 1s laid out awuiting interment at her mother’s houso on Capital avenue, near Ninth street. An inspection of it discloses a contusion over one of the oyes and wounds on the breast, side and groin, vue resembling the prints of boot is. Much bitter feeling is manifested ne residents of the vicinity at the haste of the coroner's inquest and the fact that the relatives of the dead woman were not infarmed of 'her deatn, which was discovered by them louufenhlly while the body lay at the undertaker's ready for “transit to the Pot. ter's field. ~The sister of the deceased said that yesterday morn- mg while she and her mother were on their way to work, paseing the city jail, they were saluted by two of the police ofticers, who allowed them to pass on without intorming them of Georgie's eath, At the jail the officers were reticent, simply contenting themselves with deny- ing in toto the charges of brutality. About mdnight Mr. Maul, of the firm of Drexol & Maul, repaired to the house of the deceased and pl; ice on the body. At the inquest held in the morning, the oliee to whom alone the coroner could ook for the facts in the case, deliberately withheld all testimony of the violence, greater or less a8 it may be, which they certain knew. the woman had suffere At Lhll hands. To further cloud the ai pose of the pro- ceedings Detective Hoi Tfim secured s place on the jury. e verdict, 8o speedily found, “was: written by D. M. Connell, the foreman, and set forth that the woman had cometo her death from the excessive use of *licker.” Whether this travesty on thé ‘olemn proceedings was a betrayal of orance or an out- break of henthenish; humor, none but the author can exolain. The excited colored friends of the dead woman announce their determina- tion to prosecute an inveetigation. ————— A MASSIVE ORNAMENT. The Big Buffalo Head Oasting for the Union Pacific Bridge. A telegram received from New York last night, states that yesterday after- noon, Mr. Favey, of the Favey Bronze works of that city, cast a buffalo’s head out of bronze for the Union Pacific rail- road company. The head will be placed on the bridge now building across the Missouri river from Council Bluffs to Omaha. The casting is the largest singlo piece ever cast in this country, weighing 6,000 pounds. —— Mr. Morse's Successor. ‘I'he feeling is now obtaining among railrond men that the appointment of Mr. Tibbitts as the successor of Mr. Morse as general passenger agent of the Union Pacific road is but that of a figure head, and in no way likelyto satisfy tho requirements of the position. Mr, Tibbetts is a man of but comparatively slight experience in the passenger business, and is not such as to warrant his successful coping with the duties of the oftice. It is also alleged that the appointment, if such it ma be termed, is but temporary an that the real successor of Mr, Morse 1# to be either John N. Abbot%, chairman of the Western Traflic association and ex- general passenger agent of the Erie road, or A, C. Dawes, general gtmenaer ent of the Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs. Mr. Abbott is une ot the brightest and best known passenger men of the country, a_protege of Jay Gould's and a friend of Mr, Potter's. — AN ELECTIONEERING TOUR. = Indiana Farmers Think Oleveland Should Resign Temporarily, LouvisviLLe.

Thereis a piece of pl‘or(‘rly whose owner holds it at a valuation of $15,000 which was returned by tho assessor at $7%0. The city council sought to railse this and other descriptions last year, but the owners ot the property protested because thera were very many more glaring inconsistencles which re- mained undisturbed. Why not bring all such cases up to & common standard? This is equalization. The assessors’ valuation of Omaha Is $1,600,000. It ought to be $40,001,~ 000. You cannot make a levy of more than 4 l-lDRr cent. Four per cent on $40,000,000 is $1,000,000—a big tax, but, it collected for one year, there would be a gratifying reduc- tion thereafter until a winimum of 2 per cent would be reached. ~* * 4 Jonx Russ, City Treasurer. Mr. Hasoall said that he believed that n part of Mr. Rush's communication was all right and he believed in it, but an- other part he thought was a little off. The police and fire fund was not ex- hausted. If it were true, as mentioned, that the fund was exhausted, equalization would not, could not, act as u remedy. 1t was not true that there was no cash to meet the warrants. Mr. Lee moved that the communication be referred to the committee on finance. ‘The motion prevailed.

Viaducts—Instructing the Omaha and Council Bluffs Bridge company to desig- nate one street upon which they shall build their approach to their bridge over the Missouri on this side of the river and and give bond to pay for damages which may be sustained by the building of the approach to the same. Mr. Bailey said he favored limitiug the company to two streets from which to select the approach and would allow them thirty days in which to make their selection, after which they should lose the privilege of either, He thought that eventually they would select either Doug- Ias or Dodge street. Mr. Snyder said that he did not think the company should be allowed more than one street to select as an approach. Mr. Ford saia if it were true that the contractors were here to build the bridge in question, he conld notsoe why they wanted six streets to select from. They ought to be just as competent now to se- lect a place us thoy will amonth hence. Mr. Burnham said he thought Mr. Bailey’s idea a good one. 1t was neither too restrictive nor yet too oppressive. The amendment wus adopted. Grades and Grading—Recommending the extension of Webster from Hillside addition No. 2 to Kearney street. Adopted. Pollcn——()ls)jsctmg to granting the peti- tion of J. 8.
