OMANA. POB. AD. R. 1B, TD. IS, PO. A. E. 445 A TEN-INNING GAME OF BALL Lincoln Downs Omaha After a Prolonged and Brilliant Struggle. YESTERDAY'S GREAT EXHIBITION Base Ball, Racing and Other Sports Elsewhere—Topeka Beats Kansas City—Speeding at Brighton Beach and Utica. Yesterday’'s Game. Thero was a great game at the ball park yosterday afternoon, and the only drawback to it was that the Omahas were defeated. ‘The contest was between the Lincolns and the local team, and it was biff, bang, smash from the opening to the close. Without any exaggeration it was the most exciting game seen on the home grounds this season, and notwithstanding our boys were azain downed me audience dispersed with the feeling that ey had seen a game of ball. Notwithstand- ing the awful blunders at critical stages made by the Omahas it was a beautiful game to look at, and it1ls seldom a crowd gets a chanee for so much genuine enthusiasm. The field work of the visitors was of a very brilliant description. They made wonderful running catches, hard stops of wicked E‘mundan. and put upagame hard to beat. 'he closeness of the score kept everybody on the tip toe of exeitement until the game a8 closed. The result was in doubt until, @ last man was retired, and that was not until ten innings had been played, In the first O went out in one, two three order, but the visitors managed to get in & man after two hands were out. Beckley fouled out and Lany retired from Fusselbach 1o Dwyer, Shaeffer lined outa two bagger, Dolan's hit to Bader was muffed, and S fer the initial man, and eve y sald “ah!” Hoover drove a safe one Into long-legged Jantzen’s territory, but Herr fouled out. 1In the second the local team took the lead by one, and the uproar for a few minutes could have been heard blocks away. Dwyer flew out to Reeder, Bader drovea two bagger to center, Jantzen hit one of his little funny ones to Herr, who zot in Bader's way, and Instead of retiring him he made third, while Jantz reached first. Genins tdok his base on balls, Krehmeyer sat down on a hit to sec- ond, Bader getting home and Jantz reaching third, and came home on Hoover's throw to cut Genins off at second. Genins stole third in the most artistic fashion, but Bartson went vut to Reeder and the fun was over. In the third the Omahas were whitewashed, but in the fourth Dwyer hit safe, sole second and came clear inon a passed ball. Bader retired on a hit to short and Jantzen struck out, of course. Genins corked one out past but died in an atterupt to steal second. In the fifth and sixth our boys went out in one, two, three style, but In the seventh they smeared themselves all over with glory, in which they tied the score and passed it by one run, the Lincolns being three ahead up up to this juncture. This is the way it was accomplished: Krehmeyer went out on & beautiful long fly to Shaeifer, and Barston died on a similar hit to Reeder. Mr. Walsh then came along with his reliable club and hit a safe nnag‘l [ third; Messitt did the same and Fusselbach t his base on a fumble by Herr, and the s were all oceupled. wyer, withstern resolution stamped all over his honest face, stepped up to the plate, and many a feverish mortal ejaculated, “()h’. 1t Dwyer could only make a three-bag- ger.” and one gentleman, & prominent real estate agent, rose in his seat and cried, “A tive for a hit, Dick.” 'Theexcitement was in- tense. Nobody thought Dick could do it. But he did. The third ball pitched ne caught square on the nose and sent it like a rifle ball whl%z!r‘xrmn to far center, and Walsh, Messitt and Fusselbach scampered home amidst a very bedlam of screeches apd yells from the frenzied audience. The real estate agont before men- tioned stepped down to the railing and instead of handing Dick a V he gave hlm an X. while another gentleman threw himn a 85 bill and a third a silver dollar, $16 all told for the hit. Bader then came up with his little step and by a fine drive to left sent Dwyer in, with the run that gave the Omahas the lead :* one, This, however. was the sum total of the scoring. In the el‘xh\hy ninth and tenth they went out as fast as they would face the fresh Mr. Hart. And this Is the way the ageregation from the capital did their work. In the fourth Reeder hit safe past Messitt, stole second, Hart m his base on_balls. Beckley hit to Fusselbach who retired Reeder at third, Lang hit safe to left Hart scored ana Beckley went to third. Shaeffer, the oldest man in the world, flew out to Ba- der, but Dolan pounded out a safe ome into the left garden and Beckley and Long came in, In the fifth they added two more tallles to thelr score on Herr’s base on balls. Bartson’s error, and Fusselbach’s wild throw to Dwyer. In theninth they tied the score and in the tenth won the game. The oldest man in the world hit a ritle shot to Fusselbach who would have thrown him out at tirst, but relia- e old Dick Dwyer made a disgraceful muff, lan got his base on balls, Hoover did at first, but on Herr’s long fly to Bader, Shi fer scored and the most thrilling game of the season was history.

Notes and Comments. ‘The Lincolns again this atternoon. Everybody was excited yestorday. Dwyer lost and won yesterday’s game. Bartson, though a trifle wild, used great headwork, He is a dandy little twirler. ‘This afternoon we will r:rdyle the windy aggregation from the capital. Bader's head-first sliding brings down the house. He Is one of the most promising young bloods in the whole western league. Young had a hard game to umpire, but he did his work well, He is the best umpire who has appeared on the home grounds this sea- son. A large delegation will be up to-day to yel for Lincoln. There were lots of errors, but the game was & beauty after all. ‘The oldest man in the world, Goorge Shat- fer, of the old champion Chicagosand lios- will continuo to tramp down the grass in the right garden to-day.

Patterson for an account- ingin & real estate deal in this city, amounting to $6,000, a report of which appeared in the Ber, Patterson no sooner got his answer filed than he skipped down to Kansas City, and sued Dickson for an accounting in twenty-six acres of land valued at $80,000, one-half of which Patterson claims and alleges rroperly belongs to him. He furthér al- leges that Dickson had his implicit confi- dence, and that he allowed him to draw on him for what money was necessary to ay half cash on all their deals, and that Dickson did so, and afterwards Patter- son found out that he had been de- frauded, as he claims, and that the prop- erty had been putin at & much higher price than it cost. That Dickson put in ittle or no money atall in any of the deals. The land for which Patterson claims to have furnished the money sola this summer for over $80,000, hence the suit. TKOUBLE ABOUT A SEWER, Lively Times in the Vicinity of Clark and Twenrtieth Streets. For some time there has been trouble between Inspector C. M. O’Donovan and Thompson & Delaney, contractors for the construction of the Olark-Twentieth street sewer. It is said that the inspec- tor declured that the contractors were not putting in the proper quality of brick and he condemned a large quantity a few days ago. Yestorday he orderea the hrickln{cl‘fl to discontinue laying any more of the brick supplied. Mr. Delanoy, one of the contractors, objected, and a lively war of words followed, which at one time promised a general knockout. Mr. O'Donovan then reported the matter to the board of ublic works whereupon the chairman issued an order to the contractors to de- 8ist, which was immediately obeyed. It is claimed by the contractors that 200 men will be thrown out of employment by this act of O'Donovan’s. They also say that the inspector is incompetent as a judge of brick, and no practical mechanics want to work under his criticism. Last night Thompson & Dolaney applied to the city council for relief. Their grievances and complaints against Mr. O'Donovan were stated, and the mptter is now in the hands_of the sewar ,committee of the council for investigation. Mr. O'Dono- van seems to be sustaned by the board of public works, though Mr. Thompson says that in a pile of 70,000 bricks there are not 500 which are too soft for use,and those might be found anywhere. Base Ingratitude. William Colby applied to Edward Gil- more, a farmer lving seven miles north- east of the city, syme weeks ago for work, and was given 8 job. He had been upon the place but’d ddy or so before he was taken down with malarial fever, and Gilmore employed ' doctor and’ cared for him through a thrée weeks' siege. He was enabled to leave his room yesterday morning, which he did, and as” a testi- monial of his deep g;uti'tnda. he carried with him Gilmore's Sunday suit, five dol- lars iu money and & new pair of shoes, and up to the present time hasn't been seen in the vicinity since. Gilmore, naturally, felt very sore over the treat- ment he had been subjected to, and ap- plied to police headquarters }or assis- tance to help him search the city for his 1ngrate employee. Recovering. Mrs. Euler, the lady who wasso badly injured in the street car runaway on St. Mary's avenue last week, is recovering. Her shoulder was broken. and the frontal bone injured badly.

The dimensions of the main building will be 93x73, with a pavilion on the south front twenty-four feet wide, and extending out from the building thirteen feet. The plan of the main building is rectangular, with the long side facing the south. There aro to be three entrances, thoe main one for visitors on the south side through the pavilion, the other two on the east and west sides. The general style of the structure will be of white stone, and of the same modern design throughout. The greator portion of the stone-work will be rock faced, with elaborate trimmings and rich and voluptuous carvings. The front of the main building proper shows two stor the windows of the flrst with ecircular heads, and the second square, and with stone transens passing through both tiers of windows. The front of the pavilion’ passesup above the main portion of the building and is three stories in height besides the balustrade and rich and sumptuous dormers, above that. ‘I'he main entrance through the Pavilion is a large arch, which will be richly ornamented, with lmqusing turrets on the corners, which will run up above the main cornice. arch entrance is ten fect wide, ¢ those on the east and west side which are also to be ornamented, anc thirteen feet in width, in order to receive the mamwmoth pumps und other ponder- ous machinery, On each corner of the main building are octagonal turrets, cor- belled out from the upper portion of the first story and terminating above the main balustrade. Above the east and west entrances are large, wide dormers, the face of which are on the main line of the building. he entrance wood work will be of hard wood finish in natural colors, richly covered and very orna- mental.

'he main pump room will occupy the entire ‘mr\ of the roctangular building, the walls of which will be laid-up with different colors of Philadelphin glazed brick, with terra cotta band mouldings, base and deep terra cotta or Babylonian frieze. The ceiling, too, will be of oak, divided with beams, panels, etc., while across the entire insido will be a galler; made of electro-plated brouze, which will be very beautiful and very showy, ornamented stair-cases, railings, etc. ete, In addition to this handsome main build- ing there will be several annexes, huge smoke stack, engine houses, conl houses and mechanical department well built in uniformity of plan and elaborateness with the main buildingitself. George L. Fisher is the architect, and his drawings are most heartily endorsed in the min- utest details by the waterworks people. —_— HER MOTHER'S NAME. An Error in a Marriage License Post- pones a Wedding. The cierk in the county conrt had oc- casion to remember issuing a marriage warrant to David H. Brown and Jennie Peterson on Tuesday, as the lady wasa pink and plump picture of rustic haalth and the swain gn houest-faced, hard- nanded embodiment of embarrassment. She stood in the back ground while David hemmed and hawed, blushed and simpered, through a long statement of age, place of birth and other statisticul data pertaining to both their lives, and it is perhaps chargeable to his confusion that an error occurred in the warrant, although the clerk, whose attention was divided between the busi- ness on hand and the beauty of the briae- elect, may be responsible forit. At all evenis an error creptin, and a most sig- nificant error, an error which invalidated the permit, one which would have left the wedded couple at liberty to diyorce themselves at any curtain session of do- mestic court, without going to law. “‘Martha,’’ the name of the bride’s mother, down as “Margaret,’”’ a “bad break” in 8o important a document s & marriage contract. Think of the bride’s horror and an- uish on the first post-nuptial morn—to e rudely aroused from the sweet, false dream that she was Mrs. Brown—had not the discovery been made in time. It stopped the Brown-Peterson wed- ding which had been on the bills throughout the countryside near Elkhorn to occur Tuesday night. -At just what stage of the proceedings the stoppa; was ordered 18 not ascertained, but at all events the bride's cake was a day older before its frosty crust was broken and a neat and lovely little bridal chamber in a Douglas county farm house went without occupants one_night longer than was thought for. Yesterday afternoon the bald headed and giddy old clerk was ter- ribly flustered to see the pretty visitor of the day before (whom he had not forgot- ten, rest assured) dash into the court room with cheeks aglow and eyes aflame. He was so badly scared that it took him some time to collect ms wits. When he did so at last, he corrected the vital error of the day before and the bride tripped blithely out with the satistied statement that everything was all right and square Des now. “If [ haa got a girl so blamed particu- lar as all that,” snarled the clerk as he told the reporter of these events, ‘'l wouldn't have been the father of as large family as I am to-day. You bet my bride wouldn't have got any second show for me.” The Commissioners. The fire and police commissioners met in the mayor’s office yesterday. Mayor Broatch and Commissioners Gilbert and Hartman were present. The commissions of the police officers recently appointed were signed by the mayor, but owing to Secretary Smith's absence his signature could not be se- cured, and the presentation will be de- ferred until next week.

Crook, closes with a Suggestion that some assistance should be given the state troops in their stand against the Indians in the mountains of Colorado. » scene of the outbreak, however, is not located in Gen. Crook's department, although the nearest mili- tary post, that of Fort Duchesne, in Utah, is under his command. While the general has his forces at that point, ns also at a number of others, in readiness to move at a _very short notice, yet he does feel justitied with the information in taking the initiative, especially as he has no knuw]ndfo as to the whereabouts of the Indians, and his information as to the damage they huve done is Indefinite and unsatis- factory. The general accordingly for- warded a copy of the telegram by wire to General Merritt, commander of the department of the Missouri, who has charge of the troublesome district. At last “accounts General Merrit had not been heard from. General Crook said last evening in con- yersation with a representative of the that he entertained a very small opinion of the alleged Ute outbreak in Colorado. The general said that the ad- vices he obtained indicated that Colorow had about fifteen Indians with him, and that a general uorising of the Utes or uny outbreak of formidable numbers among them was improbable.

McCarty and Jones. “I don’t believe thoy will leave the road, yet they may,” was the character- istic reply. ‘‘But there may be some changes ‘without necesitating a retire- ment from the road.’” ‘This seems to be the best founded opin- ion now with regard to the two ofticersin question. Those who scout. their retire- ment do 80 on the ground that Tebbitts, who is coming here from Kansas City to succeed Messrs. Morse and Stebbins, is hardly experienced enough to take hold of the office in question without the as- sistance of the old oflicers mentioned. But the changes in the conduct of the of- fice which are now suggested may re- quire Messrs. Jones and McCarty in other capacities. THE YANKTON ROAD, Hons. J. J. Crennan and W. W. Pow- ers, Major Hanson and Dr. Crevans, of Yankton, were in the city yesterday to inquire into the gros ects and progress of the pmjechu] maha & Yankton rail- way. They called upon John F. Dillon, the secretary of the new company, and conversed with him at length. Mr. Dil- lon said he was awaiting word from the Boston people who were backing the pro- ject and the Yankton committee loft for ome last night without obtaining any information definite or satisfactory. NOTES. T. O. Wood, of the supply store of the Union Pucific in this city, has resigned and accepted the position of chief clerk of the general supply store of the Santa Fe road at Topeka.

A new water meter for supplying loco- ives is being constructed ut the upper reet crossing of the Union Pa- cific. For several days mechanies have been at work nndunvoring to straighten out the ‘‘skeleton gates' at the Union Pacitic crossing on Tenth street, but for some reason they cannot be made to work sat- isfactorily, The motive power is an air pump placed in the middle of the Iaby- rinth of tracks on Tenth street, which is to be worked by one man. It takes so long to raise the gates that it is evident the new arrangement will not remedy the old time troubles at the crossing, while the gates are very little protection to teams and pedestrians crossing. George W. Voorman, chairman of the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of Nebraska, was in the city yesterday. A. 8.
