THE OMAHA" DAILY BEE: MONDAY MORE BRILLIANT BASE BALL, Sunday's Game Proves to Be a Magnificent Contest. BUT OMAHA COMES OUT LOSER' Fard Luck By the Home Team En- ables the Prohibitionists to Win the Victory —Tén Thousand People Present., Des Moines 1, Omaha 0. Now all you that have tears, shed them, and shed them for Omaha. The prohibitionists done us—shut us out without a smell ! Rough, wasn't it] And in the presence of such a magnificent crowd. Say, if there was one man there, there were ten tnonsand, All the stands were packed like figs n a box, and a throng twenty deep encircled the entire fleld. It was the largest local crowd ever seen in the city of Omaha, and what an argument in favor of Sunday ball, There was the lawyer, the judge and the doctor, the morchant, shop-keeper and laboring man, white men, colored men, Indians and Chinese. In fact, every clement of society was represented, and it was a great cosmo- politan crowd. The ladies, bless them, were there too. Not two or three dozem, but hundreds of them, and their bright eyes and pretty faces lont an udditional charm to the exhilarating scene. But Omaha was wallopped, and that spoiled much of the felicity of the occasion. One would think, out of consideration for the feelings of the 10,000, luck would do just a little for Omaha. But she didn’t Des Moines was the favorite yesterday. And then Dame Fortune smiled on them, and Omaha’s par excellent flelding could not pre- vent at least one of the white stockings from scoring. However, that which can't be cured must be endured, The populace were heart-broken to see Omaha defeated, but they found & modicum of consolation_in the reflection that hard luck had a good deal to do with it. She ought to have scored in the sixth, but a lamentable lack of coaching nipped’ the opportunity in the bud. ‘The first inning afforded mo occasion for any enthusiasm, as both sides went out in one, two, thrée order. For Omaha Burns foul tipped, Flynn was curled up from second to first, and Annis did like- wise. For the cold water faction Stearns hit & long fly to Flynn; Quinn made three des- erate slashes at the wind, while Grandpa hafer wentout from Shannon to O'Connell, Again in the second, the three valiaut Omahogs succumbed with hardly a struggle, but for the prohibitionists Macullar got his ‘base on balls, after Holliday, who is a cow’s Jegz, had struck out. On Aiford’s extinguish- ment from Shannon to O'Connell, Macullar Tan to second, and on to third on a wild pitch. A few old women from Des Moines sct up ahowl in the grand stand. It sounded some- thing like an_Arapahoe death song. Then Van Dyke was presented with a bag Py Burdick, and of course ran down to second with impunity. Wilson is too old a fox to be cayght with such chaff. Alarge and eiegant yell arose toward the blue cmpyrean when' Billy Trafley hit an easy one to second and died at first. It was the same old story in the third. Poran, Wilson and Burdick were retired so quick it made one’s head swim. For the Des Moines big Cushman collapsed on & high fly to O'Connell, but Stearns rapped but a safe one past second and immediately took another base on a wild pitch. Quinn then hit to Burdick, who madea feint as if to throw him out at' first, but instead turned quickly and caught Stearns off third and ran im out, Quinn in the meantime reaching nd. Shafer then fouled out, und maybe the crowd didn’t vociferate! It was a closo shave. o In the fourth the Omahogs continued their monotonous course. It was stepupto the bat and go and sit down again. It was different with the prohibitionists when they came in. There was blood in their eyes and something was to be done. Arlie Latham’s imitator, Insect Holliday, opened up the music. He got onto the first ball itohed and banged it to center for a brace of Flgfl. Then, to everybody's horror, excepting he delegation from Des Moines, he actually stole third. The thief! Li facullar braced himself to bring the bug in, but he failed. He hit a puny one to short and died at first. Then Alford flew out to Annis, and the people began to breath a little easier. But lack-a-day! it was only for a moment, for just_here Wilson let a wild pitch get by him” and_the anthropomorfic Holiday came fiome. There was arun for Des Moines, goore than Omaha got in the whole game. 0 sooner had che score been made, than an Dyke went out on a liner to Miller. In thie fifth both sides went out in one, two, hree style, but in the following the crowd ad its onty opportunity to vent its feelngs applause. They did it, and did it tumul- uously. Aftor Doran and Burdick had been retired, Wilson lined a safeone out to right and gas followed by Burns with a duplicate in pld man Shafer's pasture. Here's where Omaha should have tied and won the game, put for some unaccountable reason thero was o coucher at third, and there being a juggle of Burus’ hit in left after it had been reco ered by the orator, Wilson cssayed to g me. . Buthe couldn't, They caught him off of third, and he was out on a very questionable decision. There was more hard luck for you. For the Prohibs Shafer drove a ball into Annis’ territory, which the latter gentleman attended to after a hard run in his own pecu- liar good style. Monkey Hollilay hit a corker to Burdick, who made a brilliant stop, and throw him out. Mucullar dicd in pre- cisely the same way. The lucky soventh was now reached, but for onco it went back on us. Flynn went out from Alvord to Stearns, Then Annis drove a beauty iuto left and O'Connell did likewise, Goody ! That's what everybody hollered. But they relapsed to their original level the next mo- auent, for Miller drove one to Alvord, forcing Aunis, and was put out himself by the big third baseman's throw to Stearns, It was a double play, and u neat, as well as aggra- vating one. ' Des Moines did all the B For their side the visitors went outquickly, @8 did the bowe team in the eighth, In their Malf, Cushman flew ont to Annis and Stearns 0 Flyxin, but Quinu got in & safe rap past e stole second, and then Shafer and olliday both got their base on balls, and the were full, But it didn’t anount to any- thing after all, for Macullar's bigh fly was gobbled up by'Shannon. The jig was up with Omaha. 4n for the ninth in a dispirited sort of & way that betokened nothing good. And sure enough they went right out as fast as they could, and ihe vast crowd urose, and sad and weary, went home, t was & cold doy.

The double play by Alford to Stearns was a “‘beant”’—confound it. Bets are two to one that Wilson is not caught on third in Tuesday’s game. The only errors made were battery errors, but it was a good game all the same. Stearns will probably retire from the diamond some time with his jaw in a sling. Four hits each is not sucha slugging :’lllln'h after all, when you come think about t.

Some Points in the Great Debate at the Methodist Conference. A STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION. The Names of Those Who Took Part in the Discussion and the Side They Championed—Other Matters Methodistic, Three Deaths Among Delegates. New Yonk, May 10.—[Special Correspond- ence of Tue Bee.|—~The conference at this time reminds one of a ship recently emerged from a se tempest. She has had a fear- ful shaking up, but the timbers hold together and the machinery is all right. She is slightly disfigured—how could it be otherwise after the hard knocks given her, and especially since, in the exclusion of the fair sisters, she has lost the most ornamental part of her rig- ging! But the good ship still holds on her course. She will be alittle belated by the storm, but she will get into port all the same. She will not, however, be able to boast, at the end of her voyage, as one of the steam- ship lines does, that she has “‘never lost a passenger,” for she has deliberately pitched overboard quite a number who had engaged berths, and, most sad to relate, while the brethren were taking this action with refer- ence to the women, the grim visaged monster enfolded in his icy embrace two of the most honored of the brethren, both, by a singuiar coincidence, hailing from New England, both dying on the same day, at the same hotel, and, as is commonly believed, of the same malignant disease. The death of these two delegates has cast a gloom over the proceed ings far greater even that that which fell upon some of the more ardent spirits in con- sequence of the exclusion of the women, and the two occurrences make certainly, taken in connection with the death in this city but two days before of the beautiful young lady who had come to the conference with her father, a delegate from Washington Terri- tory, a record of mortality for the first six days of this great gathering which has no parallel in past conferences, and whichall must fondly hope will find none in future as- semblies of the kind. But if the storm is over the ocean is not yet entirely still, nor has the muttering thun- der ceased to remind this stately craft of the perils she has braved. If, as in the ballad, the strains of a famous harp echoed through historic halls long after the hand evoking them had crumbled into dust, so do reverber- ations of the recent debate still echo through this great opera house, and will doubtless continue to do so till the very close. It is the judgment of many that thesc echoes will play an important partin the impending elec- tions. This, no doubt, was one reason why the final vote was taken in such a way as to put every fellow on record. Doubtless, too, some were marked for the slaughter by that operation, if this conference may be judged by its predecessors. In the debate itself most of those who have been mentioned prom- inently for the episcopacy, were con- spicuous for their ,silenco. There we however, four notable exceptions to this rule, viz.: Drs. Buckley and Day of New York, Dr. Necley of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Hamilton of Boston. These evidently did not think that discretion was the better part of valor: at all events they sailed in. Dr. Buckley, with his accustomed aggres- siveness, did so several times, incurring on that account, it is feared, the secret displeas- ure of at least two hundred of the delegates, who tried in vain to get an opportunity to speak once. But Dr. Buckley, as usual, was on the side that won,as were also Drs. Neely and Day, the sole champion in the debate of woman’s side among those who are regarded as prominent cardidates for the bishopric being the chivalric Bostonian, Dr. Hamil- ton. This debate was one of the most lengthy in the history of the church. It occupied the time of the conference during the larger part of six sessions, It is the common remark, too, that never before was a subject con- tested in this body with such obstinacy, not to say bitterness. The struggle to obtain recognition from _the chair was a_revelation to those who did not know previously how fond Methodists are of speaking in meeting. The instant the chairman’s gavel fell, an- nouncing the termination of one speech, fifty delegates or more were on their feet, and from fifty stentorian voices rang out the piti- ful appeal, “Mr, Chairman!” This was the order of affairs from the beginning of the bate to the close. One delegate, who was finally recognized,proved to be so hoarse from his protected efforts to get the floor that it was with dificulty he could be heard when he did get1t. Another, on being recognized, said that the herculean labors of two days were at length succefsful and that his wil in the gallery would no doubt telegraph at once to his constituents that the kindly recog- nition had come justin time to save bim from insanity. The final vote, excluding the women frorm this conference and submitting the question of their eligibility to th annual conference, stood,—To exclude and submit 837; against 198, making a majority of 39 only of the total vote, while the laymen were so evenly di- ided that the change of one vote would have tied them. If now the annual conference shall decree by a three-fourths vote of all the ministers present and votiug that women are eligible, and if four years hence, the general conference by a two-th: vote shall ratify that decree, the fair sisters will thereafter have free course in that body. Otherwi: they will still be tolerated only as m ers-on. From the fact, too, that ma voted to submit the matter to the annual con- ferences did so, not because they wish the women to come in, but mnl'l? as the best method of gotting rid of a troublesome ques- tion for the time being, it looks as though their chances of gaining admittance as dele- gates four years hence were little better, if any, than in the preseat instance. For the benetit of their numerous friends and as an interesting matter of record, 1 give here the names of those who took partin this great debate, mdicating both the side they championed and the order in which they severally spoke, In favor of excluding the women addresses were made by Drs. J. M. Buckley, of New York; Alfred Whee Pittsburg: L. C. Queal, New York; John i J. R. Day, Now le, Philadelphia: J. Roth- weiler, Central German conference; T, B, Neeley, Peunsylvania; H., Graham, New York: Alden Speare, Esq., Massuchu s, F'rank M. Bristol, Chicago; A. Albert, New Orleans; B. J vania; Arthur Edwards, Chicago; Judge S, N. Taylor, Missouri; Dr. Jucob Todd, Dele- ware: Dr. John Lanahan, Baltimore, and ex-Senator Warner Miller, New York, who summed up for this side. Those who spoke on the other side, or in_favor of admitting the women, were Drs. J. Potts, Michigan; William Brush, Dakota; Theodore L. Flood, Pennsylvauia; J A. B. Wilson, Baltimore; G. W. Hughey, § J. W. Hamilton, Boston; A. B. Le ard, Ohio; General S. H. Hurst, Ohio; Shayw, |Bsq,, of Io r, T Mich ] Drs, C. F. Kynett, low: Will Cumback, McElroy, Ilinois; H, H. Moore, Erie Con H. Bayliss, Cincinnati, and Judge C. n, of California. Governor Lounds bury, of Connecticut, also spoke in the de- bate, but not on the main question. Thus there were on each side, in addition to the able array of ministerial talent, one judge and at i attorneys, while the two generals v the lists were naturally on both, as Dr. M of Col- arado, eloquently expressed it, * ing on the points of their lances the colors of the ladies.” . Allinterest centers now in the standing committees. There are twelve of these, eack consisting of 111 members, These mammoth affairs are the mills which grind out grist for final assimilation, through the medium of the conference, into the body of the church. For a week or more the time of the morgin sion will be occupied in calling, in alphabe ical order, the names of the 111 eonference delegations. Under this call, which is sev- eral times repeated, each of these presents to the.sceretary and has read to the conference, § if it 50 chiocse, whatever it may. have to sug gost in the way of a chango in the discipline and government of the ehurch,the documents belug then referred to one or the other of these great committees, Many of these prop. ositions have been handed in already and the great mills are slow grinding them into proper shape. This committee work oceu- pies the time of delogates evegy afternoon and often in the evenings as woll Presently reports from these bodies will begin to come "hen, after cach has been printed in the Advocate, they are taken up in regular for discussion” and action by the con- The most important of theso great com- mittees is that on episcopacy. Usually the chairmen of the several delogations consti tute this committee and its proceedings aro watched with the deepest interest. Its chiof work is to review the administration of the bishops, to determine how many new bish- ops aro nceded and whore the episcopal resi dences shall bo located for the ensuing four years, Next in importance to. this is tho committee on itinerancy. This body revicws the work of the 14,000 ministers of the church, scrutinizes the journals of the inual conferences and considers all matters srtaining to the itinerant system. From committee will probably come, this year, a recommendation xtending the pastoral limit, although a similar committeo at the last conferonce reportod unfavorably upon the subject. Another very important com- mitteo 18 that on revisals, the chief work of this body being to consider and_report upon the numerous changes, good, bad or indiffer- ent, which are sought to be made in the book of discipline. As these committecs will be from this timo to the close of the conference the observed of all observers, and as those elected to presido over their defiberations are supposed to fill places of exalted honor and ot grave respons- ibility, I subjoin the namesof the entire twelve, with their respective chairmen: y:} opacy—W. H. Olin, of the Wyoming conference. Itinerancy—J. M. Buckley, of the New York east conference. Boundaries—The bishops to preside. Revisals—W. F. Whitlock of the north Ohio conference. Temporal Economy—W. H. Craig, of the St. Louis confercnce. State of the Church—J. O. Peck, of the New York east confercnce. Book Concern—C. B. Fiske, of the New Jersey conference. ions—J. M. Thoburn, of the Bengal conference. Edueation—C. H. Payne, of the Cincinnat conference. Church Extension—J, B. Graw, of the New Jersey conference. Sunday Schools and Tracts—J. W, Men- denhall, 'of the north Ohio conference. Freedmen’s Aid and Work in the South— James M. King, of the New York confer- ence The personnel of this great gathering is an unfailing subject of interost. There are many striking forms and many faces which < unusual strength and’ unmistakablo Bishop Foster is a modelof Episco- al dignity and every inch a great man. 31shop Bowman is faultless in attire and has a face and form like those of John Wesley. Bishop Merrill looks likea congressman of the old days, clean shaven, solid and in- clined to quiet humor. Bishop Andrews has a face which fairly glistens with intelligence and a voice and manner that are excecdingly unctuous and winning. Bishop Warren is rotired, precise, scholarly and very rich. Bishop Ioss has one of those forcheads which bulge out at the top, indicating full reasoning powers and = indopendenco = of thought. Bishop Hurst, like all great schol- ars, is the picture of modesty, and when pre- siding over the conference looks as though he wishes the brethren would not bother him. Bishop Ninde has an ex- pression of countenance that s almost angelic_in its calmness and purity and is reputed to be as good as he looks, Bishop Mallalien is a practical looking fellow from the shining dome on top to the extreme base of his fong and pointed beard. Bishop Walden preserves in both features and form a vivid recollection of the departed Simpson. He is tall and quite distinguished looking, even to the scholarly stoop of his shoulders. Bishop Fowler has a tremendous head, with hair, however, quite out of proportion; but he is far from being bald on the inside, and in fact is known to all as one of the brainiest men on the bench. Bichop Taylor is the Apostle Paul among Methodist bishops—, though he would resemble more closely the ordinary pictures, of Paul if he dispensed with his wig. Ou the floor are scen a number of pros- pective bishops and any quantity who lool fit for the place, but as the clections are so near the description of candidates must be de- ferred until we know certainly who are the lucky ones. The women delegates, who oc- cupicd so much attention at first, are now gradually giving place to other nine days’ wonders, Miss Willard’s personal appear- ance is known everywhere, Mrs. Nind, of Minnesota, is a womav of medium height, with an inclination to embonpoint. Her dress and bonnet are of the Quaker style, the only deviation being that she sports ‘o masculine shirt-fronv and a white choker. She is_be- yond middle Life, has gray bair and a face Which indicates a happy blending of gentle- ness and strength. Mrs. Rippey, of Kansas, is a Jlarge, fine looking woman, dresses becomingly in brown silk and looks fully competent to either take part in a general conference debate or administer with effect the proverbial form of discipline to a healtty famnly of boys; man, of Nebraska, is a_slendor, cate looking lady, quite refined, with an ob- vious tasto for' flowers and other beautiful things, including a very neat bonnet, though at the ‘sawe time very talented, and in_her northwestern homo eniinently useful and be- oved. What males it more probable than ever be- fore that the pastoral limit will be made a ror two longer, is that the bishops fay- ored such an extension in their annual ad- dress. To be sure they qualified their recom- mendation by saying that the period of ex- tension ought to apply only to exceptional cases, but the safe inference is that if the bishops, who are so conservative, are willing to concede that much, the conforence itsclf will not hesitate to go a little further. —_—— Without health life has no sunshine.

His Dream Came Mexico, Mo., spes to the Globe- Democrat: ‘“Mother, I'll be dead in a weelk or my dream of last night will not come true,” said Beverly Williams, a 250-pound resident of South Mexico, upon arising one morning about a week ago, and now he lies under the sod in the protty little cemetery in the west- ern suburbs of this eity. Mr. Willinms x years of age,a prominent old school Baptist and a leading citizen, He wus not superstitious, and laughed heartily at breakfast that morning as he told of his dream of the night bofore. “I droamed I was on my deathbed, & great silvery light enveloped me, out of which a tiny bird appeared. The little creature stopved in front of my face and bade me go with it. I hesitated, com= plied, and ina moment found myself transported to heaven.” The deceased’s relatives say the dream did not trouble him much uatil Thurs- day, when he' was stricken with con- jestion of the brain. Death followed in afow hours, and Mr. Williams was buried this mornin a little ovena week after he had his strange dream, - - Poor Lo on a Higher Plane, wo Indians from Walpole Island, wearing tight-fitting coon-skin caps with the waving tails of the little am- mal which is treed so unfortunately, pendant from the crowns, came to De- troit on Monday to see the sights of ciy- ilization, Aftor sitting in silent medi- tation for a time on the site of the old tree, near Jefferson avenue, which fox somany years marked the seat of the organization of the Pontine conspiracy, the aboriginal duo stalked into the city hall and engaged passage with an old- vator conductor for a trip to the tower. They bad heard wmuh-r(u\ stories of the sights to be seen from its diz height —the rising sun, the happy hunting grounds, and Washington, the home of the groat father of the |miu faces, Having signified their sytisfaction at being given permission to nscend by i guttural “Ugh!” the Indians stopped cautiously and rather suspiciously into the cage. They were the only " occu- pants of it on that trip, and the conduc- tor, expeoting a little fun, determined to see how quick he could get up to tho highest landing. The Indians were standing idly aside looking innocently out through the glass windows, when the pilot gave the rope a strong pull, and the hydraulic elevator shot up with groat suddennocss toward the tower. ‘The next instant there were too awful whoops which startled everybody in the corridors, and as the elovator sailed out of sight through tho first story there was @ vision of two coonskin caps occupying an unusually = ole- vated position on the fop of hair that stood straight up, and two ter- ror-stricken I dinnsvlinu‘n g frantically to each other. The highest landing was reached in much less time than it takes to write it, anu the door of the cage was opened siultaneously with its arrival there. The Indians leaped throngh it with a ringing “‘whoopee!” and the ele- vator conductor did not wait to see the further effects of the ride, hut banged the door and shot down again as quickly as he could drop. About three ho later the Indians walked dowu the stair- ways, and as they appeared at the bot- tom the elevator conductor, feeling that somebody was waiting for him above, went up to see.
