Burdick Fans Out Eleven Men—Fiold- ing and Batting Honors Evenly Divided, But Neverthe- less They Lose. 8t, Paul 4, Omaha 0. €1, Pavy, Minn., April 23.—(Special Telo gram to the Bee.]—The St. Paul and Omaha clubs played their second exhibition game to-day in the presence of about one thousand people, and the Omaha boys sccured their mecond cont of whitewash since striking the twin cities, ‘I'his result is attributable tq hard luck more than to anything else. The boys slugged the ball hard but could not suc: ceed in getting it out of reach of the St. Paul fielders, They all fielded well also, whilg Burdick pitched as pretty a game as is often seen, striking out eleven of the St. Panl players. The St. Paul players, however, zot all of their runs in three innings—the second sixth and eighth. Tuckerman pitched the first five jnnings for St. Paul, being his firstappear- ance this season, and he held the Omaha boys to three safo hits. After the fifth in- ning “Peek-a-300” Veach went into the box for St. Paul. Although he was wild, send- fng four men to first base on balls, ho managed to hold himself down wb critical points, and but one safe hit was auade off him. St. Paul scored one run in the second in- ming on singles by Barle and Pickett, and on an error by Sowders. In the sixth two more wuns were made on singles by Murpl Shaffer and Reilly, two steals and a wild epitch, In the eighth Shaffer got his base on alls, stole second, went to third on a passed ball, and came home on the throw to second to out oft Reilly, Omaha had several opportunities to score, Daving men on bases every inning but the second, pbut a hit could not be made at the proper time, The score: oMAIL AN, ] | cocsmoorat Burns, If.., Sowders, T Anms, ¢ Miller, ss.. ©'Connell, 1.

Manager Parish has completed arrango: foents for an attractive card at the Peoples theatre one week from next Friday evening. Barney Smith, of Chicago, will attempt to stand up before Pat Killen, the champion of the northwest, for four rounds, for & pirse of $50. Smith is big, burly and bold, and says ho is_able to not only face the redoubt abie Patrick for four rounds, but for a many more ns he may” see fit to designate. Scientific points, of course, will govern the bout. IF WE CAN ONLY GET MM, Now that Radbourne has signed with the Bostons, the probabilities are that Conway will be released to the Omahas. Mabage Selee has beon megotinting with the bean- cating triumyir for several wecks, and the result of his dicker will be looked forward to with np inconsiderable anxiety. With all of Omaha’s array of twirling talent, it begins to look as if another strong man in the box will be necessary to enable Omaha to cut the fig- ure that is universally expected of her in the pennant chase.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1888 FIERCE AND BRUTAL FIGHT. Haok Drivers Battle Nine Bloody Rounds Over a Woman. PETE DOHL COMES OFF VICTOR. Lew ENis Completely Vanqguished— Old Sports Pronounce it the " Hardest Battle Omaha Ever Experienced. Nine Bloody Rounds. Pote Dohl and Lew Ellis, two hatk driv- ers, were at Kessler's hall Sunday night and both desired to take the samo ‘‘ladg™ home in their vehicles. The woman, however, pro- ferred the company of Ellis, and he carried her off in triumph. Later the two men met and flerco words and loud threats were in- dulged in. An impromptu rough-and-tumble fight was imminent, when friends interfered. Nothing, however, would satisfy the men ex- cept blood, and at the suggestion of mutual friends a challenge was issued by Dohl to Ellis for a fight to a finish. The tter ac- cepted the defl, and everything was arranged for the battie last night, to be with baro knucklos, London prize ring rules. Barly in the evening the two principals, accompanied by about oue hundred and fifty well-known sporting people and, fifteon lady admirers, left the city in hacks, going to a road house just north of the city limits. The seconds and referce, armed with Blanterns, immediately went out to the grounds sur- rounding the resort and selected the best place for the battle, and a ring was soon pitched. The hacks in which the spectators had arrived were drawn up in u circle, the lamps removed and placed arouud the ring to furnish light. The battle began about 10 o'clock. Both men were in excellent condition, but the gen- eral impression was that Ellis would have a walkaway and the betting was all in_his favor., When time was called for the flst round both men came prompily to the scrateh, and without the formality of skak- ing hands began slugging in earnest, Ellis was the more active of the two and drove Dohl around the ring. The latter acted en- tirely on the defensive at first. After con- siderablo sparring Kllis led off with his right, but Dohl dodged the blow and coun- tered. Ellis then made a mad rush, land- ing a terrific left-hander on Dohl's nose, drawing the claret. Both, men then clinched, and after a sharp strug- gle went down, EIlis on top. It was con- ceded by all present that at this time Ellis had the fight won if he would only follow up his advantage and pus his antagonist. The round also proved that neither of the men knew the first thing about boxing, but their blows, while wild, were terrific. When -time was calied for the second round both men came tothe soratch very tardily. Dohl was still bleeding quite freely and was evidently badly winded. Bili however, seemed to have suddenly become cautious, and instead of forcing the fighting he actedfentirely on the defensive. Hissecond urged himn to “'go in and win,” but he evi- dently feared punishment. This gave Dohl confidence, and he chanzed his tactics to the offensive. = Several heavy blows were ex- changed, when Ellis went down to avoid punishment. The third round was very brief and ended in the first knock-down for Dohl, who caught Ellis in the jugular with a terrific right- hander. The knock-dbwn ~seemed to drive all the courage out of Ellis, and his second had hard work in forcing him from his corner w time was called. A well-known city official, who had money up on Eilis, jumped " into the ring and endeavored to put_ confidence into the weary slugger. This seemed to have the desired_effect, for Bllis led off by raining blows on Dohl’s face and_chest, which were returned with interest. This round proved the longest und bloodiest of the battle, and when the men clinched and fell, both were covered with blood. In the sixth, scventh and eighth rounds hard fighting was the rule, with Ellis getting the worst of it right along Dohl was _also severely punished, but he had evidently made up his mind fo win. The “ladies” vresent were about -equally divided in_their championship of the two men, and thewr shrill yells added to the in- centive for the sluggers to do their best. When time was called for the ninth round it was very evident that Ellis was growing weak and could not stand much more punish- ment, His second had to raise him out of the corner and fairly drag him to the center of the ring. Dohl immediately began to pound away in _triphammer manner on Ellis’ head, and_in a rush both men_tripped and fell. Bllis struck the ground with such force as to completely daze him, and when time was called_for the tenth round ho re- fused to respond, saying he had had enough. The referec then declared the fight in favor of Dohl. Both men were completely ex- hausted pitiable looking specimens of humanity. They were completely covered with blood, and their faces showed strong evideaces of the punishment they had suffered. They were put in as presentable shape as possible and the whole party then returned to town, arriv- ing shortly before midnight, the fight having lasted just one hour. Old sporting men present pronounced_the fight the fiercest and bloodiest that ever %00k place in Omaha. There is no doubt but that it wus on the square and for blood. e bt FORT OMAHA NEWS, For the last two days the operator at the Fort has been receiving numerous dispatches frow a gentleman in Sidney, Ohio, inquiring for aman by thename of H. W. Wood, whom he believes is in the Second Infantry, probably under au assumed name. 1t would e vory advantageous to this man if ho were found, as the telegram stated that there was money awaiting him in the First National bank. 1t is very probable that s mistake has been made, and that this man Wood belongs to the Kourth Infantry instead of the Second. The Fourth which was -relieved by the Second is now on the Paciflc coast, some at Fort Sherman and some at Fort Spokaxe. All possible ailigence has ‘been. exerted by the operator to fiud Wood, butas yet his efforts have not met with success. i Thomas N.

Brrrw, April 28<a[Speieal Cablegram to the Ber.]—With peference to the adverse comments of the fewspapers on the treat mont of the ompergr's case, the empress has written to Dr. Friodberg, minister of justice, as follows: “Althbugh personally indiffer- ent to the attacks of the press, I cannot bear to see thie emperor', doctors, who are attend ing him with the grémtest devotion, openly slandered.” Hor majesty requests the min- ister to interfere in the matter. The emperor rosq af noon and spent several hours reclining on q sofa in a room adjoining his bedroom, where ho recefved Prince Bis- marck at 4 o’clock, He has a good appetite and his strength is increasing. Toward even- ing thore was a shight increase of fever. In the morning the doctors mformed the em- peror that should his favorable progress con- tinue he might remain up all to-morrow, but only on condition that ho transact no busi- ness. The emperor has not given up hope of recovery, but his condition is still oritical When the emperor received a gift of vio- lets yesterday from the crowd outside the castlo he requested the empress to go and thank the lady who suggosted the idea. Tho lady, a doctor’s tife from Frankfort, was summoned to the palace, and the empross ex- pressed to hor and the people the grateful thanks of the emperor, The lady returned to the crowd and delivered the emperor's message, which was received with the great- est enthusiasm.

T., April 19.—[Correspond- ence of the Bek,]—Much surprise has been expressed 1 several quarters that the half- breed Campbell, or Caske. should be the nephew of the Rev.“Dr.”” Hundford,and Mr. Hundford has had letters addressed to him inquiring how the rolationship came about, and whether Chaska is the vagabond he is painted. Mr. Hundford refuses to comment upon the character of the bride or bridegroom, and merely negatives the relationship which some unscrupulous person has tried to force upon him. When the papers fivst stated that Campbell was Mr. kundford’s nephew Mr. Hundford asked Mys. Campbell how such an idea could have got broad, and her reply was, “In a letter to'my father I stated that Mr. Campbell was the,nephew of a minister at the agency and they must have 'inferred that you were meant.””, Now that *‘minister’’ is Mr. George Paypay;a very worthy man, at present a catechisy under’ Mr. Hundford and a candidate.. (for holy orders. Mr. Hundford was perfectly satisfied with Mrs. Campbell's reply; but when another paper distinctly states that her father says be received a letter from his daughter, dated May 16, giving Chaska,a very high character and calling him the ngphew of the Rev. Dr.” Hundford.” Mr. Hundford again felt it nec- essary to enquire whether Mrs. Campbell or her father had made such a statement, and it was denicd in toto.

He is not “Dr.,” but the missionary in charge of the Cheyenne Reserve. 1t is not true to_say that Mr. Campbell has only a slight taint _of Indian blood in him; he isa half-breed and is known among the Iudians as Chaska, i. e. first born- o Go g ) More Light on Mrs, on’s €ase.

Wasiixatox, April 23, —Reprosentative Anderson of Towa introduced in the houso to-diy a bill dirécting the attorney general to institute ' judicial ' proceedings against the Union Pacific railrond company and other parties. A very long preamble to the bill recites that it appears, from the report of the pacific railroad commissioners that the Union Paciflc has for years persistently refused to comply with the oconditions of tho various acts of congress relating to it; that the officrs and managers have squandered large sums out of the gross earnings in extravagant and unprofitable enterprises, and have di- vided immense sums of money among them- selves ; that the company has, since the pass- ago of the act of 1878, issued new incumbrances without the consent of congress, thereby im- pairing its credit and destroying the valne of the United States lien; that it has levied oxcessive charges upon tho people tributary to the line, and that the company has by its unlawful acts forfeited all vights, privileges and grants, including the privilege to further time in which to pay its indebtedness to tho United States, “The bill in substance directs the attorney- f«ncrm to forthwith institute procecdings in he courts of the United States, either in law or equity, to enforce the forfeiture pro- vided for in the law of 1878 and other acts, and collect the moneys due the United States from the company, its stockholders, and officers. He is ‘also directed to bring suit against the Union Pucific and Kansas Pacific to recover tne proceeds of a wrongful issue of stock and bonds anfounting to $75,000,000, including in the action-John B. Alley, Elisha Atkins, Ezra H. Baker and Sidney Dillon, and to join as parties- dofendant Jay CGould, Fred 1. Ames, Russell Sage and others, to recover 50,000,000, more or less cods of the sale of the bonds.

Goman, of the Reading company, acting as counsel for the committee, proposed to show by the information called for by the sub- poena that the Pennsylvania and other roads had been guilty of discriminations by which the Standard Oil company had maintained the monopoly of the production of oil. Without final disposition of the matter the subject was laid aside and Malcolm Lloyd, of Philadelphia, testified. He recently sold out his independent business to the Standard Oil company, receiving trusts certificates equal in amount to the value of his property. ‘While in business for hun received rebates from the Penns, .

The work yes- terday was done by a forco of forty men in a fow hours. The ordinance which the com- vany has been trying to get through tho council contemplated granting tho right of way where the track was laid yesterday, and also along several alleys and stroets, extend- ing as far north as Twelfth street, west of Kansns. The property ownets 'who have been flghting the right of way ordinance are not at all disturbed by the action of the com- pany yesterday, They say that they would not interfere if the same track was being laid to-day.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Onicaco, April 23 —[Special Tologram to the Bee.]--The cold weather was the first bullish influence in the wheat market this morning and it was all the more effective because so many of the local traders, with visions of warm rains and bright, mild webther over Sunday, had gone home short on wheat Saturday night. They eame shiv. ering down town this morning with quite dif ferent views as to the immediato future of prices, and began to buy back their grain at about e higher prices than were paid at tho close on Saturday. Private cables, also,wore better, and it was reported that the foreigmors were not selling futures in this country just now; indeed there was talk of some disposi- tion on their part to cover short sales. This news,in view of the fact that foreigners were much the heaviest sellors last week, was truly encouraging. Crop nows does not im- prove at all, and the only point of dispute is as to whether it shall be believed or not, Many people will wait uutil May 10 for con. firmation of these private and scattered reports by the government bureau. The gov. ernmoent report is likely to prove quite as im- portant adocument in determining the course of prices in May as it was in April. Trading to-day was in satisfactory volume though not 80 large as on some days of the past week, There were a fair number of buying orders from the country, and particularly from the winter wheat belt, and it was noticed that on every small break there was good buying. However, short sellers did & good part of it. It is to bo noticed that it is the bear and not the bull these days who takes a small profit as soon @s he can sce it. There was a largo amount of ‘“‘changing over” to-day by the longs, who were selling May and buying more deliveries under the influence of this trading. The premium over May stood most of the time at 1i{c for June and 2ic July, although there was occasionally a little less difference. May wheat opened at 8157c, ad- vanced to 82, fell to 813{c, then advanced, with small reactions until 824 ¢ was touched, fell back to 813¢c and closed at 1 o'clock at 82(@S23¢e. June wheat opened at 823c, sold up to 83}gc and closed at 83%c. The corn market opened about where it closed Saturday night, was strong early, weak later, then advanced again and closed with little or no l‘hungle to note as the result of the day’s trading. The volume of business was compavatively small and largely local. There seemed to be a fair numbers of buyin, orders in early, but when they were filled the burden of increased receipts and the greatly imcreased proportion of contract grade corn have bore the market down. Re- ceipts, present and prospective, begin to show fhat_increase, both 1n quantity and which the bears have all along been ng, but_the market holds up ~under them pretty well, and it looks as if the bears were very cautious. Small stocks and tho possibility of manipulation are the bugbears: May corn opened at bi3¢e, and sold up carly to bbe, then graduall, worked down to 5i!{e, advanced to 51%c and closed at 1 o'clock at L5 C. @ corn opened at, 43¢, sold at 54%gc” and @bido, closing at 5ii{c. ‘I'he speculative oat market was quite quli with a little easier feeling especially for the nearer deliveries. May, June and July all opened at 3137c, and sold down to and closed at lhe, which was a low point for all except May, which at one time touched 8l¥c. For August oats 283c was bid at the oponing, and that was the nominal close. At one time they sold at 2814c. 4 The provision trade was a'little slow. Lard and short ribs received more or less atten- tion, but pork was at tumes quiet and unin. tercsting. The day's business, all told, fell under the average volume, yet the market showed considerable strength. Lard was even brlskle’ inclined, and at 1 o'clock stood at Saturday’s Inst prices for extended . fii- tures to 5¢ higher for near deliveries.
