_HAIL THE CONQUERED HEROES They Gain Two Victorles But Suffer Five Defeats. “WIN A GAME FROM DAVENPORT. Omaha Unfortunates Fare Well in Their Final Exhibition Contest— Minneapolis Defeats St. Panl— Varions Sporting News. Omaha 10, Davenport 6. Davesrort, Ta., April 25.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]-The second game be- tween the Omahas and Davenports was played here to-day, and it was fully as inter- esting as the first game, The weather could not have been more favorable nor the dia- mond in better condition. The game re- sulted ina victory for the Omahas, but the general opinion here is that Manager Solee ©of the Omaha club, who umpired the game, made unfair decisions in order to save hig team from a sccond defeat. Morkin and Briggs were the battery for the home team, and Wilson and Burdick the Omaha battery. * Ilhis was the first game played by Morkin this season. The home team were first at bat, Inthe second inning McCabe scored on a splendid base hit of Briggs, but in the third inning Burns, Sowders, O'Connell and Shaunon scored, the first two upon a three-bagger of ©O'Connell, and the other two upon a base hit to left field. In the fifth Briggs scored upon a heavy three-bagger of Williams, and O'Commell suc- ceeded in scoring after he had made a two- base hit, stole third, and Miller had knocked afly to left. In the seventh Willlams made another three-bagger upon which Morkin scored, and Miller followed suit, whacked a two-baser and brought O'Connell home, while Miller seored upon a left field hit by Doran. In the eighth Crossley was given a “bis- euit” on balls, stole second and scored on Briggs two-baser to right. Burns reached Arst on a splendid base hit, stole second and scored on Sowders two-baser to right. O'Con- nell then brought in Sowders and” scored on Shannon’s base hit to center. In the minth Williams, by stealing bases and a base hit by McSorley, succeeded in scoring. 1t was a highly exciting game, The score: — Wiltiams, .. MeSorley, b, Reising, 1b......

The contest, which i8 to b in this country, will not take place beforeJuly and is tobe ten rounds with small gloves. Articlos of agreement have already been signed, but the place for the contest is not_definitely settled. Smith will arrive in New York in June. LOCAL_ SPORTS, The Pennant Race. The race for the western association pen- nant will be on in one more day, and Omoha will make a desperate effort to capture the trophy and nail it to the pennant pole at the ball grounds, In their struggle for the prize Captain Shannon and his mon should roceive the encouragement of all local patrons of the game. They will do their part, rest assured, The flag is held for the winner, and if honest endeavor can capture the prize Omahans may rest content that they will have it. Should the team fail to reach the top notch in the race at the end of the season, 1t is safe to say, even at this early day, that it will not bo far from the heels of the leaders, The raco will be o long and furious one, but the Oma- has, represented and invigorated by the in- fusion of new blood, are in condition to run i fine form to the finish. A Weostern Coney Istand. The Council Bluffs and John J. Hardin teams will open tho new grounds at Lake Manawa on Thursday next, May 8. The Manaswa hotel will also be thrown open for the summer on the above date, and the day will be made a gala one. The Council Blufts band will be in attendance, and_everything done to make the occasion & most enjoyabla one. There is no question but what Manawa will be the favorite local resort this summer, as great predarations are being made for the entertainment of guests, Three fue excur- sion steamers will plough the bluo waters, and the Omaha and Council Biuffs rowing clubs will hold a regatta there in July. These attractions, together with fishing, bowling, boating, shooting, dancing and base ball, will afford plenty of fun. Manawa, fair Manawa, the Coney Island of the west. A Distinguished: Guest.

As a man named Hansen was driving on the north end of the Eleventn street viaduct yesterday, a runaway horse and wagon made arear end collision with his vehicle, He was the west side of the viaduct at the time and the force of the collision was so great as to throw him from his seat oyer the railing to the ground below. Fortunately the via- duct at this point was only about fifteen fect high, and the only injury he sustamned was o fractured wrist. The tongue of the wagon attached to the runaway horses was broken, therear of Hansen's wagon smashed, and breast of one of the runaway horses slightly cut. Hansen's team are very gentle and after the'eollision they stopped, apparently knowing that something was wroug, thercby bringing the runaways also to a standstill, Hansen was pretty badly shaken up, but he crawled on his wagon agaw, drove home and ad his broken wrist se R K. of P, Banquet, The periodicil banquets of the Knights of Pythias at Central hall are delightful frater- nal affairs, THo latest was held yesterduy evening by 1odge No. 1, after the usual busi- ness meeting: «Pables were arranged iu the center of the room and ice eream and other dainties served.

Lo bl sucaad THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1888 VOORHEES DEFENDS THE DEAD He Reveres the Memory of Han- cock and McClellan, THREE MORE TARIFF TALKERS. Hynum and Dockery Make Specches i Favor of Mills' Tarviff Measure, and Browne of Indiana Speaks in Opposition. Senate. WasmiNGTox, April 25.—The bill providing for the conmstruction of two frea bridges across the Red River of the North was passed. Mr. Voorhees then took the floor to ad- dressthe senate upon the subject of the president's message. Mr. Voorhees said the position of the re- publican party on the tariff questioh iight be deseribed thus: 1. Taxation not toba limited by the ex- penses of tho government, with a view {0 the protection of manufacturing monopolists. 2, All protection given and all its profit to inure to the further enrichment of capitalists, but not a dollar of it to the laboring man and woman, 3. That if any reduction of taxes was to take place it must be on alcohole. liquor and tobacco, and not on the prime necessaries of life. Passing to the charges that the democrats in congress haa been hostile to union soldiers in the matter of pensions he contrasted the action of both parties in that matter, and claimed the republicans made a mean, parsimonious record compared with the dem- ocrats, Referring to the attacks made in the senate upon the memory of McClellan and Hancock, he said the presiding ofticer of the senate, holding the highest official posi- tion now held by a republican, had descended lo the floor and attacked the memory of American heroes who were sleeping where flowers and tears annually commungled on Memorial Day, resting from their glorious ives in the quiet bivouuc of the dead. The pious task of making a response had been ap- propriately performed by one whose own conspicuous daring in arms had given him generous right of chivalry to spealk in their praise. It was true that not oven the elo- quent tongue of Blackburn could reach Me- Clellan or Hancock with assurances of their country’s devition and love. Mr. Voorhees proceeded to draw a vivid picture of events during the war, beginning with the scenes in Washington on tho night of the first battle of Bull Run, In that hour of national extremity McClellan had been called by despairving of- ficial authority to perform a task greater far than ever performed by Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar or Napoleon in the same length of time. Then he recalled (after the second dis astrous battle of Manassas) McClellan riding out to meet the retreating troops and being greeted with cheers more pathetic than those which greeted Napoleon on his veturn from Elba. Then came the battle of Antietam, a victory unparalleled -n_ war, considering all the conditions of immediate peril being gone and the sense of seeurity bemg felt. Me- Clellan began again and was stricken by a partisan, and had closed his lofty military reer forever and to this day. clamorous kites and erows and other ignoble scavenger birds sought to tear and mutilate McCleilan's august fate. “Yes, McClellan,” hosaid, “was a democrat, and when he was removed from his command on the 7th of November, 1862, he could with uplifted hand have sworn he hod saved the rvepublic, as did Cicero in the forum at Rome. Among the highest, most fortunate ‘and most distinguished characters produced by the war, where,” he usked, ‘‘could a name be found clearer, purer, freer from self-seeking or more devoted to the sublime sense of duty than that of McClellan$' 3 Mr. Voorhees then chapged the scene to Gettysburg where, he said, the last hope of the southern confederacy disappeared ever. “What invisible spirit of the air, asked, *‘intent upon evil to the senator front Kansas, could have been in attendance upon him when he stood up aud opened his wouth in the senate chamber on the 6th of March MecClellan and Hancock were heroes of two of the most cgusequential battles of the war —Antictam dnd Gettysburg,—the loss of either of which would have brought . Euro- pean recognition to the confederacy, to darkness and dismay if not finul dissolution, They had commanded the only battles fought north of the Potomac, and each time had met the enemy as an invading force, strong, confident and flushed with recent victories, Antietam and Gettysburg had involved the Dossession of the capital and the perpetuity o f the government, and to McClellan and Han- cock, now stigmatized as ‘allies of the confederacy, had been commtted the measureless and awful trust of defending aud preserving them both. If asked hereafter where W thg greatest leaders of the democrati during the war (who w the democratic candidate of 1864 for the presidency and the democratic candi- date of 1380 for the presidency), the undulat- ing slopes of Antiotam and the crested heights of Gettysburg would be pointed to, He knew them both and bowed to their mighty shades. They were of a loftier mould than Greek or Roman history supplied. And yet,” he said, “‘such were the great soldiers who were mocked, scoffed and denounced as bolonging to the subservient clements of the north and who were accused of treason by those who were of the breed of Job's war- horse, und who, like him, ‘snuffed the battle afar off” Leaving that subject, Mr. Voorhees passed 10 What ho called tho campaEn. of PoNLaal animosity declared against the people of the south, their rights, their security and their good nam When future historians came to inquire why and how the republican purty had lost its tremendous- hold on the rostrate south and had slunk away to return no more forever, he would be puzzled to find an answer and would finally wri that its administration through all that reg- ion bad become so vast and infollerghle a scandal, filling civilized commupities with its foul odors, that an intelligent and ommnipo- tent public opinion had demanded its ‘down- fall and the restoration of home rule and decent government. And yet it.was that party whose leaders now fumed and threat- cned the southern l)uoplu and states -because they dia not welcome it byck again into power with all its unhallowed«nemories and its predacious instincts and habits. As woll might a frontier settlement be expected to, welcome with joy a second invasion.of Lomi- hawks and scalping knives, - He eorcluded' by saying the verdict of the Auwerican people! in November would be, there had been an, honest, capable government, and it should be coutinued. { At the conclusion of. Voorhees' speech, which was delivered with great power and ot, and was listened o with iutercet and attention on both sides of the chambery ho was congratulaied upon it by wmuty ‘of his democratic associates, 954 ’ The report on the bill for'a conference of I nations was non-concmead m, And then the] railroad land forfeiture, bill was taken up for consideration. The land forfeiture bill went over without action and the senate adjourned. House, WasHINGTON, April 25.—The house went into committee of the whole on the tariff bl Mr. Bynum said the bill presented did-not meat with his unqualified approval. He be- lieved duties on imports should be levied and collected at all times to meet the current or- dinary expenses of government, and auy ex- traordinary cxpenses should be. met by a re- sort to internal taxes. Believing this to be. correct, he would maintain the present in- ternal revenue system of taxation until the last obligation of the war was discharged. He advoeated o reduetion of duties upon ma- terials upon which the laborers of the country worked. He advocated such a roduction as would give larger markets in witich the manufacturers could sl their products. He admitted that wages increased under the protective tariff, but denied that s on aecount of the tariff, hecause the samo inerewse had taken place in Great Pritme under free trafle. 1t was said that Americgn faymers must be pegtected in -the peoduction of wool. Under bigh: protection on wool the pricer tmd stoadily fallen. H did not assert thaddrifl was the sole cause of the decline in pride/but h1 conten it was an important factér, Wool could not be pro- duced in the United: States for less than 40 cents a pound, The people of the country consumod 600,000,000 pounds & year whic! cost them £240,000,000. Of this 600,000,000 pounds, more thah ohe-half had to be pur. chased abroad betause the high tariff had broken down all od# woolen industries. Mr. Browne, of Indiana, expressed him- self not in the least frightened at the ple thoric condition of *the national treasury. This was not the fritt, time there had been a surplus, but neithér Johnson, Grant nor Arthur had mmLe the condition of the “'9“‘"{ a pretensd® for disturbing the in- dustrial policy of *the government. The country continuedt (to enjoy unparalellca prosperity. Unccumulating revenue might be made the ‘eeasion for doing much for the people’s bonefit. That the surpius existed was an_evidenco of national pros- perity. That it had been gathered into the troasury without oppression or complaint was an evidence tha¥the protective system was a just one, If the surplus were under the con- trol of wise statesmanship it would bea national blessing, bt as it was safer to re- duce it than run at hazard or il advised ex- penditures, he was anxious to have a revision of the method of taxation so as to reduce revenues to the lowest limit of national wants, But, he argued, the plan of reduction sketched by the prosident in his message would result in dis- aster to American industries, The democratic party in the house had not gone the whole leagth of the president’s sug- gestions because thoy feared party rather than financial dispster. Turning to the wool provisions of the billy he quoted figures to show that the dom estic product had increased enmermously under twenty years of protection, growing from weakness into strength, while by the reduction of duty by the act of 1983 the in- dustry had becn well-nigh ruined. It was a little singular that while wool was put on the froe. list sugar was to be gmwmd by an annual tax of $45,000,000. Ho congratulated the president upon having compelled his party to take the issue on the tariff question, The masquerade was over. The question of the di was whether the revenue system should be free trade or protection, for this bill was the vanguard of a free trade policy. Mr. Dockery of Missouri said the surplvs was required in the channels of business trade and_commerco in_order that capital might employ labor, and the question pre- sented was how that surplus was to be dis- posed of. He had statistics to show the im- mense bonus which the protective tariff put into the pocket of the manufacturers, but did not_go into the pockets of the workingmen. In conclusion he said: “Let us unhand and unshackle the genius and en- terprise of our people and permit them to cross the scas and repossess themselves of the commercial advantages they enjoyed when our flag was a familiar sight in all the waters of the globe and in all the harbors of the world.” [Applause.] The committee then rose and the house then took a recess until 8, the evening session to be a debate only on the tariff bill. At the evening session the hbuse tariff de bate was openened by Mr. Shaw of Mary- land, who advocated the clause of the bill which placed tin plate on the free list. Mr. Glass of Tennessee, spoke at length in support of the bill, and at 10:25 the house ad- journed. . e FORT OMAHA NOTES.

PrAnsavr, Tex,, April 25.—[Special Tole- gram to the Beg.]—An old quarrel was re- newed in the Red Front saloon between Frank Nolan and William Jordan, well-known and wealthy cattlo dealers. During the dis- cussion Jordan seized a billiard cue and struck Nolan a murderous blow on the head. Although it fractured his skull and his eyes were'blinded with blood, he caught Jordan, as he fled, around the neck and_ plunged a dirk repeatedly into Jordan’s back, some of the gashes entering the kidneys and laying the flesh open in wide gashes. Both fell to the floor insensible. Thereis no hope for the recovery of either.

A Terrible Accident to a Passenger Train Narrowly Prevonted. A traveling salesman of Canton, O., of, “tells the following™ story of the trecent narrow escape from death of a train load of passengers on the Cleveland & Marietta railroad. It does much to vindicato the character of the tramp— at least, of this particular tramp: “Igoton the train at Canal Dover and intended to ride to Valley Junction on the Valley railroad. Our train was considerably behind time and the en- gineer was bent on making it up before he reacheddValley Junction, in order to meet the train. We were steaming along at the rate of fifty miles an hour. Afrer we had left Canal Dover and were out several miles the engineer saw a tramp on'the track swinging his arms frantically, endeavoring to flag the train. This made the engineer angry, and with an oath he choked the throt- tle, thinking it wassome passenger who wanted to hoard the train. The tramp said that he did not want to_ vide, but y tons of stone had fallen k just a few feet adead of the locomotive. The engineer went for- ward and found. a pile of stone as high as his locomotive. If the train had nov heen stopped where it was the whole train load would have been plunged over an embankment twenty feet tothe ereck below. A handsome sum of money was made up among the passengers and riven to the man who had saved their ives. The train men took him in charge and will endeavor to get him a position on the road.” ——— A Colossal Wager Alta California: “I may be a little huay as to the exact figures, but in the main my recolles n is correet,” The speaker was an eclderly gentlo- man on the Oakland ferryboat, who had just returned to California after an ab- sence of many . years in the east. He had heén contrasting the five overland railways of the presept time with the slow. toiling ox team with which he crossed the plains in 1850, and the con- versation had incidentally drifted to the pony express, so famous in its day. “Pwenty-nine years ago St. Joseph, Mo., was the westeyn terminus of tho railway. -systems of the country, Be- yond fit Joseph the stage coach, ox train and kindred methods of trans portation ‘were resorted to for the pur- posoe - of maintaining communication with the Pacific slope, . The const was by thal, -time pretty well settled, and business men began to wish for a rapid MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIY Oib Bones, Caxen Unkaszd wod et overland mail service, “In the winter of 1860 Wall strect was at work in Washington endeavor- ing to get a subsidy of 810,000,000 for carrying the mails overland one year between New York and San Francisco. “William H. Russell, backed up by BSecretary of War Floyd, looked upon tho scheme as a very extravagant prop- osition, and said that he could put on & mail line from San Francisco to St. Joseph that weuld cover the distance— 1,950 miles—-in-ten days. So confident was hoe that he professed himself will- ing to wager $200,000 on the proposition. “The schemers for the bsg mail con- tract felt bound to meet _the bluff and took up the wager, April 8, 1880, being fixed for the time of starting. “A. B. Miller, who died in Denver about four years ngo, was Russell’s part- ner and general manager, and to him Russell looked for the successful out- come of the venture. Miller was posi- tive that a pony express could be estab- tished which would ehable his partner to win his prodigious wager. “There was no_time to be lost, and Miller set about his task with energy. He purchased 300 of the fleetest horses he could procure, and engaged the er- vices of 125 men. Bighty of these mes were enguged as pesteiders, and of colpse were es] mcdullli chosen for their daring and lehtweight—the lighter the man the “better for the horse, as some parts of the route had to be covered at the killing rate of twenty-five miles an hour. “In estnhllsh(ng the relays the dis- tance in each instance was determined by the character of the country. As a rule the horses were stationed from ten to twenty miles apart, and oeach rider had to make sixty miles, Two minutes was allowed for chunging the animals and shifting the mails. I the stage stations were not at proper intervals a tent was put up sufficient to accommo- dato one man and two horses. “By the day set for starting every- thing was in readiness, and before the smoke cleared away from the muzzle of the signal gun on the steamer Sacra- mento at the hour of noon, April 8, 1860, Billy Baker, mounted on Border Ruflian, Mr. Miller’s famous saddle horse, dashed away toward the Sierr: covering nis twenty miles in forty-nine minutes. “Deep snow lay in the mountain passes, and to Salt Lake valley slow time was made, so from the valley on it was necessary to make extra fast speed to win the huge wager. “All went well until the crossing at Julesburg was reached. To his dism the courier found the Platte high up in its banks and a high current running. Fearlessly horse and rider plunged into the turbid stream. but only the man reached the opposite banks. His gal- lant steed mired in the guicksands and was drowned. The couriew saved his precious mail pouch and had to walk ten miles to the next relay station. “Johnny Fry—I remeuber him well —was one of the famous men of his day on the border. Tough and wiry, he was as light as a cat, and as a rider he never knew an equal. To him fell the duty of riding the last sixty milesof the long race. He had six Y\urscs. thor- s they were, t0o, to do it with. When the courior arrived at the six- ty-mile post out of St. Joseph he was one hour behind time. Johnny had to make up that lost hour or the wager was lost. Miller had considered all this when he selected Johnny Fry to make the final dash. “Phree hours and thirty minutes in which to muke the ride of sixty miles. Never before or since has such a purse been run for in America as would be won or lost by Johuny’s success or failure. “*As the hour drew near for Fry’s ar- rival at St. Joseph thousands of ‘people tined the river bank, gazing with fever- ish expectancy in the direction of the woods from wh the horse and rider should emerge into the open country— one mile from the finish. . “As the minutes flew by the excite- ment became intense, and the people spoke to each other in a subdued sort of way. Seven minutes and the wager would be lost, when suddenly a bright§ eyed youngstor caught sight of the anx- iously looked for courier, and the yell that went 0 from the crowd reached the ears of the rider a mile away. “Horse and rider fairly flew on the wings of the wind. Feathery flakes of foam streaked the panting flanks of the noble steed, as she, with wide distended and blood-red nostrils, bore the cour! to hus journey's end, covering the lasf mile in 1 minute and 50 seconds. The little mare, Sylph, had won the wager, and there were five minutes and a frac. tion to spave.” i, A Bear Captures a Thief, An Ttalian who was traveling in Cali- formia with a bear which he had trained to wrestle and dance, stopped before a farmer’s ho atr one afternpon, and after amusing the family with his per- formances obtained permission to stay all night. The bear was placed in the barn for safe keeping. During the night the family were aroused by a t: rible noise in the barn. Some one w screaming, “Murderl Help!” and ap- parently engagzod in a stuggle for life. The farmer hastoned to the spot, fol- lowed by the Italian and others of the house, and found the tame bear with a man in his embrace, hugging. him tightly, while the poor follow stfuggled frantically to eseape. The bear was muzzled and eould do the man noserious injury, though he was vevy uncomfort- ably situated. ‘Phe mau proved to be a dishonest buteher, who had come to the barn to steal a fine calf, In tho dark- ness ho stumbled over the bear, who had seized him and held him fast, The Italian, learning how matters stood, called out, *Hug him, Jack!” and the bear continued to hug him unmerci- fully, until the farmer concluded that he had been sufficiently punished, when he was released.

Small Fluctuations in Corn and Trad- ing Dull—A Fair Business in Oats ~Provisions Rather Slow— Hogs Brisk. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Citoaco, April 25.—[Special Telogram to the Ben.|—The change for the “vorse in the condition of the emperor of Germany, the decrease of 430,000 bushels in the amount of wheat ‘‘on passage,”’ aund the dry weather here, made the opening in the wheat market rather strong this morning, but all these influences together were inguficient to over- come the apathy of coumtry speculators, They did not seem anxious to buy wheat now, but rather to realize whatever profit they might have i formé purchases, and this foeling was shared to the fullost oxtent by the local operators. Short sellers, who have been anticipating just such a contingency, were not wanting and everything worked for their benofit, even to a report that rain was falling west of tho Missouri river. Undoer the pressure of long wheat with but little de- mand, the market broke, first about ige, aud then there wero buyers enough to catuse a ro- covery of half this loss, but then followed a still greater decline, and on this it was not to realize profite, but to save losses, that long wheat came out, and the slump only stopped ‘when these stop loss orders were filled and carly seliers were willing to buy again. Tho selling had evidently been overdone and when the long wheat, which had to be thrown over, was exhausted, buyers had to pay bet- ter prices. The improvement was gradual at first; but more rapia later, when reports came that twenty-five boat loads had been taken at Now York to-day for export and that 100,000 bushels had been bought to-day in'St. Louis for the same purpose. Under this stimulant there was good buying and the smaller shorts particularly were anxious buyers, putting the price up again to tho highest point of the session and there was but a slight reaction thereafter. May wheat opened at S1¥c, fellto 803gv, advanced to Slige, foll to S03c, gradually advanced with frequent small reactions to S1%c, fell to 8130 and closed at 1 o’clock at S1ige. June wheat opencd at 82%c, sold at 82ge down to 813 @ Siige and closed at 1 o'clock at S3ic. Crop news continues of the ' samoe character, perhaps no worse than of late, but certaiuly no better, and 1t is this which helps to cause such quick reactions as were seen this morning. The speculative corn market wes uninter- esting. Fluctuations were small aud seemed to follow feebly pthe movement in wheat. Liberal receipts, present and prospective, make mauy people look for lower prices, but there is much cautioh about selling corn short, especially for May dehvery. One strong house which has been buying for weeks and has not openly sold any, continues 10 buy a little every day, and it is the foar of manipulation more than anything else that protects the market from raids and supports 1t without any great buying or urgent de- mand. This stute of things tends to make trading light and it was very 1 v May corn opened at 5iige, dec " dlje, advanced to bd{c, fell to Bals@idlyc, advanced to bHdi{c and fluctuated between that price and 54;c during most of the lafter part of the Scssion, closing at 1 o'clock at 54%c.

Dry weather, with its bad effect upon the new crop, was the strengthening feature. May oats opened at at, alsc, sold at 8lige, up to 921 @323 closing at 82lgc.

Soptemuer oats sold from 280 up to 285¢, The provision trade was a little slow, A fair interest was shown, but there was no freedom to speak of in trading, and a good share of the speculative contracts consisted of changing over deals outstanding for near delivery to later months, In a general way the market was featureless, though the effect of yesterday’s depression was folt gnd easior In pork an actual deeline g@be and in short ribs of C Was 8 The interest was confined 10 the usual futures, For May delivery pork sold from $13.85 at the opening down to $14.70, and closed at $18.773¢ with June 10¢ and July 20c higher.
