ANOTHER BASE BALL DEAL. Talk of Purchasing the Oskosh Team Entire for Omaha. MR. GARNEAU'S PROPOSITION. Xhe Entries For the Nebraska Middle- ‘Weight Championship Open For “'Another Week—A Winter Rifle . Range—Sports. The Base Ball Status, {Toseph Garneau ir., now comes to the front n.d makes & proposition to the Omaha buse ball directory to have the local franchise turned over to him individually. He would tlien proceed, so he says, and put a first class nine in the fleld for next season without further parley or ado. The team once se- cured he and several other well known men wauld take £,000 stock in the enterprise and turn it over to the Omaha association. The " general public have every faith in the prom- ises of Garnean, but the association can't see it that way, and his proposition was posi tively declined. He was informed, however, that he and his friends could haye the §,000 in stock, which would be a half intevest in the stock and_equivalent to controlling the whole. o this, however, Mr. Garneau has made no rosponse, and left for New York eaterday without seeing the matter sottled, hether his trip east has anything to do with base ball or not is not_ known. 1t will be remembered, o that at_the Chi- cogo mecting the franchise Jissued to Joseph Garnesu jr, and the Omiuha asso- ciation, and this may occasion some difficulty Garneau desires 1o _exercise action of im with. The leavor to se- ise themselves, but ugt how this is to be accomplished is one of hose things no fellow can find out. In all events the status of buse ball matters for Omaha is unquestionably unsatisfactory and uncertain. 1t is to be ecarncstly hoped, though, that the tangle will shortly be ami- vably straightened out_and real active work will'set in. So faras the talk about the re- erve rule of the Northwestern league being nstrumental in proventing the local manage- uent from going right ahead with the organ- izytion of their team is all bosh. The Omaha clitb must not necessarily be made up, or even partially made up ‘of Northwestern Jeague players. There are scores of other Alisengaged players from the other leugrues hat could be engaged, or at least negotiated Avith, and now is the time to be at it, or soon dtwill be toolate.

What a Hold the Arch Monopolist Has on the Country. NEED OF THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH. Mr. Train Again Enthusiastically Re- ceived—A Large Audie Present —Mr. Rosewater Discusses the Telegraph System. Another Train Lecture, There was anothier large audicnce at the Grand opera house last night 1o listen to Mr. Train’s lecture on “Gould and the Monopo- 9.”" The distinguished gentleman arrived shortly after 8, accompanied by Mr. Rose- water, editor of the Bex, nine little girls, and the usual messenger boy laden wifh flowers and fruit. The party was greeted with pro- longed applause. Mr. Rosewater introduced the epeaker with a brief account of their first meeting. He told of Mr. Train's defense in England of the Union, and of the sensation hisreturn to this country created in Wash- ington in 1862, and how one year later he came to Omaha, and of the great impression his eloquence on the subject of the Union Pacific created. Mr. Rosewater said that Mr. Train had done more to champign the cause of Omaha than any other living man. Mr. Train as he stepped forward was greeted by hearty applause, He was dressed as usual, with the exception of a blue dress oat adorned with huge brass buttons and a clvet collar. He explained that this was formerly his lecture costume, but that - his wardrobe had been burned in the Chicago fire and the one he wore had been saved for him for ten years by Mr. Ramge. The blue coat was a part of the uniform of the Star club of England a_quarter of a century ago. The speaker said that he scemed to be in a whirlpool of fate. The psycho influences were strong at work, and as evidence thereof he mentioned that several gentlemen had called on him to-day. The first to arrive was Mr. vater; shortly after in came wccompanied by ether gentle- men, [Mr 'l'rnin\. in_his usual social way, introduced the two editors. Mr. Rose- water bowed very politely and Mr, Roth- acker returned the salutation, [Applause.] ““Then began o discussion,” continued Mr, Train, “of my scheme for' making Omaha & city of half & million people, and I told them that I must have the united efforts of the press; that they must all pull together, and £ urged the two gentlemen to bury all personal disagreements.” Mr. Rothackér arose and with outstretched hand acknowledged that he lind been in error and asked Mr. Rosewater ? s hand in friendship. This Mr. Rosewuter did, and now all enmity is buried, nover to be vesurrected,” [Tremendous up- plause contivued for fully five minutes.] The gpeaker asked the audience to name the subject on which he should speak, and some one_responded “Gould.” A vote was talken, and as it wus a unanimous one favor- ing that subject, the speaker acquicsced. “During the war,” said Mr, Train, “every- one was speculating in gold. A number of the leading men of the time daily met in a broker's office on Williams strect. There wes always one man, a little, insignificant looking f¢ who never opened his mouth and was called the ‘silent man.) That w Jay Gould. Even the smallest investor was head and shoulders above him. Finally 1 be- wan the task of raising &2,000,000, required to obtain a charter for the Union Pacific. This would allow the com; 100,000,000 of stock t 20,000,000 of land.” The moncy at and Iwas the only one out of a divectory of thirty members, the only ono out of the” thousands of subscribers to the stock, that came here to begin ope: came over the Hunnibal & St. Dy the way, I have named «n Horrible and Slow Jogging J Tvad, 1spent while hero over 200 in telegrams sent to_all parts of the world, telling of Omaha and the commence- ment of the work of building the great railroad, After I got the road completed I rented the magnificent building at 22 Nassau street, for offices at a rental of §20,000 per annum,” “One day there came into my office six blacksmiths headed by a son of that arch- boodler Willinm M. Tiweed, who presented me with a legal document. ' This proved to be an order from Judge Barnard to place the road in the hands of a receiver and turn over all papers to him. What was to be done? I rushed to other judges but they could do mo 10 good, 80 the road passed into the hands of Jay Gould, who was tho silent backer of 'weed and his thieving associates.

Thirty days ago [ predicted in New York City that y Gould would either drop dead, sail for surope or be lynched inside of one month. Twenty-six diys after he sailed on the Cunard steamer Umbria, For days hi had been lying in the river below I with steam always up, On the twenty-sixth day coal was running short and yet Gould Wha in such haste 0 dcpart that ho would not even wait until she had coaled up! His own yacht! Do you know why he was in such’ great hasto to quit the country he had plundered? DTl tell you, Two hours be- fore his departure " ho had _discovered that District Attorney Martine had placed before the grand jury evidence of his crimi- ality in connection with the Kansas Pacitio swindle.” [Applause, | “Whatever Gould has done for Omaha I praise him for. And now I want to talk about the t ph. What we want is a postal telegraph.” [Applause and a vote taken which unanimously favored_it.) Tho speaker then epoke of the seven New York dailies interested in the associatod press. He showed by a remarkable blackboard sketch the vast lines of telegraph in this country and the connecting cables with foreign lands. He then warned his hearers that all of the great power of the telegraph lay in the hands of one man and everything was manipulated in his, Jay Gould’s own private interests. Mr. Train showed how great the one man power was in the bucket shops alone where “even the ministers bought futures on the contents of the contribution box for Christ's sako. | ¢ and applause. ] At this point Mr. Train stopped abruptly and presented Mr, Rosewater, the reporters and the little girls with boutonnieres and fruit. In relation to Mr. Gould's sudden depart- ure, the speaker stated that on the same day James Gordon Bennett left on another steamer. e then entered into a discussion of Bennett's financial standing, and claimed that the editor of the New York Herald was in reality a bankrupt and a tool of Jay Gould. But now for Omaha. _Don’t play possum with your valuations. Tl tell "you how to make your city the central city of the country as hor geographical position entitles her to. Build a boulevard ten miles long paved with asphalt and lined on either side with beauti- ful shade trees. Make a beautiful park of 2,000 acres and this will save you. Don't get @ piece of land and sit down upon it, but keep on improving. Do everythinzt to secure the recognition abroad you are justly entitled to.” *Jay Gould wants the government to buy the Western Union for $100,000,000. That's all right, but for no such price s that. Cullom of Tilinois is but a tool of Jay Gould, and his bill is only to throw dust in the people's eyes.” v There are 140,000 miles of railroads in this representing §5,000,000,0001 We are supposed to elect legislators who in turn elect uators, seventy-eight of them. Then we ¢t about 400 congressmen. Then what do they dof They divest themselves of all rights and authority and pass an interstate com- merce law and give into the hands of three little one-hoss tools of Jay Gould, ahsolute power to regulate these vast corporations at a0 §lmost nominal salary. Why, niany presi dents of singlo railroads are paid *$40,000 pes Why! Because they wre experl enced men: But theisenate, the house, the judiciary and the exetutive place. the cloak of absolute authority4o regulate the com- merce of the coundty upon the shoulders of three insignificant little lawyars without one particle of railroadi kaowledie and every one of them tools of Jug Gould.”” [Applause.] Mr. Train then jinsited Mr. Rosewater to speak a few moments on the subject of postal telograph, which dnditation was accepted, Mr, Rosewater began by saying that he had hud no _inconsidenibla practical experience in telegraphy. Sigoth years ago he was the local manager of the Atlantic and Pacific lines, He was clegbdgg member 1o the lower house of the state lfrigfature, ann on the first duy's session introduded a joint resolution, in favor of & postal telbgeaph, but the grangérs inthe legislature fmare suspicious that the resolution was in thé nterest of monopolie and pigeon-holed ity s a matter of fact, twe years previously, in 1869, a_joint resolution Tiad been passed in the Nebraska legislature in favor of a government telegraph, When Ben Butlor was pushing the postal telegraph bill in congress the speaker sent him a_letter giving his experience, and Butler embodicd the same in his report to the house, but th “House of Lords’—the senate—has always been allied to corporate monopolies, and so throttled the measure. Tywo years ago whilein Washington he talked with Senator Hill who was chairman of the committee on postoftices and was maturing a Dbill favoring the postal telegraph. This bill was in the interest of an opposition cor pany to the Western Union and would hav been of no material advantage in the end. During the same,_ session Senator Edmunds was pushing his bill for an experimental gov- ernment telegraph line to connect New York, Washington and all the principal cities of the country by four wires in competion with the Western Unjon system. The Edmunds bill was utterly impracticable in the speaker' opinion, while the Cullom bill is the Ed- munds 'bill revamped. The proposed ex- perimental lines would be put in the hands of “dude superintendents™ who would oper; them at an enormous expense, The policy of the Western Union is always to control “the opposition when they cannot break them down by subsidizing the officers or promising them lucrative positions. o preyent ruinous competition they would corrupt the men in charge of the government lincs and make the experiment a costly failure, Such a collapse would furnish a powerful argument against future attempts to control the telegraph. "The government would - naturally buy high priced materials and its operatives would not e disposed to over-oxort themselves, Mr, Rosewater did not wish to divulge telegrapher’s secrets but it was notorious that the policy of the Western Union was to achieve by craft and plotting what could not be done by ruinous competition, Quite apart from this he did not consider it fair for the government to enter competition with private corporations, The proper policy to pursue was to buy out ull thie commercial telegraph lines in the country at a fairly epprai value, This can be legally done by ecxercis- ing tho right of eminent domain ns it has been exercised by railronds and common carriers, The right to acquire the lines by purchase was conceded by the Western nion when it accepted the terms of the na- tional telegraph act of 1866, which gives the postmaster general the right to purchase the ines operated under its general franchise, He was in favor of paying a fair price for all tho Jines and 6ven make an allowanao for the franchise. With the $100,000,000 surplus in the treasury, such a purchas¢ would be por- Teetly feasible. Once the are bought by the gover ment two methods of operating them are open., They may” be made a part of the postal system fust as the n -y order and parcel dehivery, “Lhe postmaster general would be as sufe to dbiftrol the telegraph as Jay Gould and hi If the large ¢ is objectionable, the government can'itvite competition and Jease the lines on the ‘best terms to private corporations, subject to regulation and con- trol by the governménf, Whenever the enue exceeds a reasopable int capital invested, rates should be conclusion, he expressed his conviction, on experience, that owticrship and controi of the telegraph by the governusnt was vital to this country and its commerclal interests. Mr, Roscivater was' frequently interrupted Yy applause, and when he had finished Qiti- zen Train suggested’ that a committee con- sisting of Editors Rosewater, MeShano, Rothacker, Hitcheodk ‘and Rounds be ro- quested to draw up mli\m nent setting forth’| t ideas'in accordance with those expressed by Mr, Rosewater on the postal telograph sys- tem and given to the Nebraska delogation for presentation to congress. Thi vote and carried unanimousiy. then announced his subject for to-night as the anarchists. SRS WHO (i JOHN KILEY, He Lies at St. Joseph Hospital and Will Die. ian Ralph called at St. Joseph's ssterday on John Kiley, the man who was 8o horribly cut in the streot fight near the Republican office, on Tenth street, Saturday night, and found him fn an excecdingly precarious condition. e has two hideous gashes in the left side, one of which penetrates the upper lobe of the lung, and is necessarily o fatal hurt. Kiley was conscious, but restless and in much distress. He could give no intelligiblo account of the fight or how he received the wounds. He only remembered having been knocked down and brutally kicked, but had no idea that he was cut until the discovery was made upon his examination in tho police court. He per- sisted in exonorating Ed O'Donald, who was arrestod on suspicion of having been the man whoused the knife, He said he_ couldn't belicve that O'Donald cut_ him, ns they were old timo friends, and had ' been school boys together in Limerick county, Treland, ©'Donald himself wis soon in Lis coll at tho station yesterday morning by a Beg reporter, and protested his innoconse. Ho said he knew nothing of the fight itself, that he was in an adjoining saloon when the'serap was going on and only camo out i time to as- [ #ist his old friend to 'his feet, Heo said he hadn't the fainfest idea that Kiley was seri- ously hurt. His nose was blceding and one eye bruised, and that was all. O'Donald is a tall, powerful, pleasant-faced man, and looks like the last person in the world to use a knifo on a friend in a drunken brawl. He was _arraigned beforo the police court at 11 o'clock and pleading not guilty his preliminary examination was set for the afternoon. The opinion of Dr. Ralph is that Kiley will die. O'Donald was arraigned beforo Borka ot 2 p. m. yestorday. Al tho evidence agaiust him was not produced, but there was suflicient testimony given to commit him for further heuring without bail. He will have auother hearing November 2, at11 a. m. B afP i o A Real Estate Suit. David Archer has begun suit in the dis- trict court to recover §1,600 damages against Edward Hogge.

Impressed with thedanger of making the judicial office a prize for the most shrewd, the most active or the most povular worker in party politics, and fully realizing the fact that to be both impartial and independent, a judge should be free from the entanglements arvising out of partisan strife, the bar of the district met at the court house in Omahasome days prior to the period fixed for holding the judicial nominating convention, At that meet- ing, which was absolutely non-partisan, Judges Wakeley, Groff and Hopewell (the first named being. it s democratic in. his views and the two others republican) were unanimoysly recommended for re-election, and u committee appointed to notify the nom- inating conventiensof this action. That commiitee met with a courteous recep- tion frem the democratic convention, and their recommendation was adopted, Mr. W. A. Stow being selected for the fourth place on the ticket. In the republican convention, how- ever, a motion to receive the bar com- mittee was defeated, and a delegation from the democratic convention sent to notify therepublicans of its nominations met with no better fate, 1t is doultful if any political couventien in the coun- tay was e before guilty of such gross discourtesy, The republican delegates nominated threo gentlemen, who, whatever their qualifications may be, hiave had no ex- pevience on theé bench, and some of them but little at the bar. Of the foubth he is on both tickets, it is un- necessary to speak. We believe that all who have the fare of ‘this community at heart, think that judges should be above obligations and party bins, and above all, should be above pressing thoir own claims in caucusses, nominating con- ventions and political campaigns, will feel no hesitation in voting the clean and independent ticket pre- sented by the bar. Judge Wakeley has been known to the voters of this dis- trict for thirty years. His career both at the bar and on the bench has been alike honorable to himself and of ben- efil to the community among whom he has dwelt. He took the office in the first instance only at the unanimous re- quest of the lawyevs of the district and Dy the appointment of a ropublican gov- LR years ago he and Judge Neville, arepublican, were elected with- out contest by those whobelieved then as wo believe now, that judicial clections should be free from partisanship. No whisper of suspicion against his ability has ever been breathed. Judges Groff and Hopewell have served since the last session of the legis- lature. In that period they have be- come known throughout the district, have devoted themselves assiduously to their duties and haye show Lhomsof’us clean, impartial and industrious officers; no fault being found with either of them unless by litigants who may happen to have been defeated in their courts. The lamented death of Hon. W. A. Stow rendered the selection of another candidate in his place necessary; and in r--,:kmmm ton very gencral expressed dish by lawyers and others the Hon. aum-uo ‘W. Doane has been selected for the fourth place on the ticket. Mr, Doane’s entire professional life has been spent in this district, and his legal ex- serinee of over thirty years,his probity, P eatn e e atnatiteot ekt confident, sufficient guarantees that his career on the beneh will be honorable to him and satisfactory to the district. It has been said that were democrats in a large majority throughout the dis trict they would nominate party men men and refuse to follow the.r action of a few days ago. But we suggest that the proper questiou for us to ask our- gelves is not what would our enemies or opponents do in a given case; but, what is right? what is tho best intercsts of the commonwealth? what would the purest and best men advise? If voters would ask themselves these questions we have no fear of the result. That the ticket which we advoecate will be elected in the opinion of those who are best informed in_such matters is almost a foregone conclusion. But we hope for something more than mere suc cess. Weo hope for a response to our appeal so general and so emphatic that political wire pullers, strikers, caucus ]uhhyi»u and all who seck to influence votes by unfair or dishonest means shall take warning that their machina. tions, if they are allowed to exist at all, must be confined to nun»{udiclul offices; and that the pcople of the Third judiefal }linlric! are determined that their min- istors of justico shull be, so far as_their votes can make them, of clean hands, broad and impartial views, of learning and uprightness. .

New York Sun: The entering wedge to this revolutionury change was found in the sash and blind factory. In the beginning these factories produced nothing but window and .door fittings; but from this point the transition to factories which turned out bmlausters for stairway decoration, and finally en- tire balapstrades and the stairs them- selves, was easy. At last it was discov- ered that the whole art of cabinet mak- ing could be converted into an archi- tectural art, and sent with all its ma- chinery and designs to reinforce the builder. Thi% was a momentous discov- ery. A style of interior decoration en= tirely novel has been introduced, and many of our houses, though externally constructed of brick and stone, are fash- ioned largely of choice woods in the in- teriors. In fact we are beginning to turn our houses inside out, the masons who, on frame buildings, formerly ed mainly indoors, having been shed to the other side of the wal I’ass through the show room vof a fu tory erected for the production of in- terjor fittings for dwellings, or rather for'the construction of the component }n of the entire dwellings above the oundations, and you witness a curious and varied exhibition. Mantles of 'y coneeivable form, if the phrase he used to denote variety where oty may be made infinite, are set up for examination. They lack noelement of completencss either in the mantel- pieces themselves, in the facings bolow, or in tho superimposed decorations. You have only to choose your model,and it will bo sent home and ‘put up just so in your new dwelling. Your window casings and door casings may be also selected from the specimens before you, and balusters, posts and handrails for stuirway decoration ave offercd at every turn and every style of turning. In- deed, if you arce pushed for an architect, u may be earried to the exterior, and Shown models for finials, cornices, bal- conies, capitals, columns, buses, plinths, and so upward and downward to the cold stones of the lower foundations, or observe that not everything is of wood, These house fitting establish- ments ave apt to be either the manufac- turers or the agents of the manufac- turers in every variety of material used in house construction, whether wood, marble, stone, slate, or iron. They will never send o customer away unsatisfied. In the deluge of wood interiors that has swept over the country since the in- troduetion of muchinery in house build- ing, the vival kinds of ‘material do not give way without a struggle, and they stand their ground so well that it is to De suspected that they will soon again have their inning. It is true that the finest houses in New York are at pr ent being furnished with wood mantels and other interior decorations corres- pond, The marbles have fallen under a eloud, but they hava not been quite driven from the field. They reign by proxy in slato, a materinl” made by a chemical process and polish to imitate marbles in grest vaviety of colors, and offered in the market at a price that hallenges vivalry from any other ma- 1. suseeptible of the richest i and slate mantels of gn ean bo furnished at about $20 each. So long as this is true, the slate material must be able to hiold its own against its more influmu ble rival. The Indolithic rble has also entered the field as a rival of wood. This is not an imitation of marble, but it is the white marble itself, colored by a process, when desived, through the entire substance, inperfect imitation of any vaviety of marble kuown cither mt or modern art. Tt has v markable green, blue, amber and mot- tled tints, and n_ picture painted upon the surface may be sunk into the sub- stance to any desired depth. It would be rash to say that wood. which is at hest a very pevishable material and en- tirely unfitted for anything but the commonest forms of art,éan permancntly bold its own against such a formidable rival, supported by the resources of both painting and sealpture. But in the meantime the woodworkers are making the most of theirad tages. 1t is understood in the hest tories that carving can only be don hand, and ad work alone s upon when it is desired to represent vines, flowers, or any more ambitious objects of decorative art. But some- thing suggostive of carved mouldings are produced by turning and quarter- i and in some of the western fue- , where they may be expected to take the lead in everything artistically wrong, they even attempt an imitation of all possiblo designs in bas relief, Their work is produced, however, by embossing on a_ thin picce of veneer, the impression ~ being afterward ed by soltd wood. ~ This is not an art that can survive the period of claborate chenpness through which woe are pass- ing, nor even take a place among the Dbost specimens of interior decorations in wood. It may be said, in gouneral terms, that the machine reaches its limit as a contributor to architecture at the point where tho sculptor becomes the companion of the architec There is an economic as well as an artistic side to the art of machine build- ing, and from the economic side it can be studied only to be commended. It s enabling us to build well with a greatly less exponditureof money than building operations would cost were we depending apon hard labor alone, and it is also the cause of a great deal of building that would novor take pluce but for its co-operation, Tt is quite certain that much of the building to be witnessed in our great cities is due to the existence of these large manufacturing firms, and were it not for their transactions build- ing operations would have to be greatly curtailed, Dr. Hamilton Warren, Magnetic Phy- gician and surgeon, R Crounse block, cor 16th and Capi .
