Omaha 2, Kansas City 0. KANgas City, Mo, May 24.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Ber.]—The Kansas City Blues received their initial shut out of the season to-day at the hands of the Omaha nine. It was perhaps the banner game this year in a good many respects. First, the visitors played without an error, and second, the united hits by both teams were five in num- ber. As in the other games Annis’ work in center was such as to produce and deserve goneral applaus His running one-hand cateh of Campau's fly to deep right in the last mning was @& feat that has been seldom equalled. Both pitchers did well, as did the teams, the only error of consequence being Bradley's fumble of Clarke's three-bagger in the eiglth inning, Nota run was mado by either nine until the seventh inning. Anns was first to face Conway, but hit a grounder to Man- ning, who threw him out at first. Then O'Connell, who has not hit the ball- at all before while_here, stepped up and hit the first ball pitched to right for three bases. Miller followed him and lut the ball to Man- ning, who threw 1t to Gunson, the sphere reaching Gunson’s hands a second before 0'Connell, who bhad started home, reached there. A collision occurred and both men fell, the ball drovping out of Gunson’s hands in thestruggle and the umpire decided O'Conuell safe. This decision converting the grand stand for a few mo- ments mto & howling pandemonium, while the entire Kansas City team left the din- mond and expostulated with Brennan. It was of no avail, however, and the game pro- ceeded, In the cighth inning, after Wilson was retired at first, Clarke hit to deep right center for three bases. Bradley went after the ball, but fumbled it after he got it and Clarke crossed the plate on the error, In the ninth inning two of the Kansas City team had been retired when Campau came to bat and hit the ball to aimost the same place that Clarke did. Annis ran for it and pulled it down with one hand, making the best play of the game and retiring the side. The following is the score: KANSAS OITY. R, 1B, 8B. PO. A. -] ol mormorcon? Cartwright, 1b.

The grounds were muddy and in poor condition for good play, but, nevertheless, both clubs put up a_pretty game, and there were a large num! of brilliant plays during tho fiftecnth inning. At the close of the fifteenth inning Umpire Hagan called the game on account of dark- mness. St. Paul had the game well in hand, and womld have undoubtedly won, but in the soventh inning, after two hands were out, Ringo muffed a fly from Patton's bat, allow- ing to men to cross the plate and tying the score, F'rom this time until the end of the game neither side could score, although both bad men on third several times, but sharp flolding prevented run-getting. In the fifteenth inning Carroll, of St. Paul, got first on an error by Gallagher, stole socond and went to third on Kroig's wild throw, but was eaught gt the plate and doubled up with ggl y at first on the latter’s hit to Gallagher. e next batsman went out on a fly. In the twelfth fnning Minncapolis came near get ting @ man across the plate. Hawes got first on Reilly's low throw and stole second on Pickett's muff of Barl's throw. After the ‘mext batsman had struck out Nicholson hit safely, but the ball was roturned quickly, holding Hawes at third where he was loft, the next two batsmen going out. Both mwhers did good work, Nicholson's fielding ing especially noteworthy.

PROGRESS OF THE BURGO TRIAL, b The Defense Endeavoring to Prove Insanity—Arguing a Railroad In- Junction—/A Spicy Case Set- tled By Lawyers. D United States Court. A decigion was given in the Adcock-Cheney land case yesterda; This case w brought here from Johnson county, and is one of a number of land cases of a similar character that were tried once in that county and appealed to this court. The defendant, Prentis D, Chenoy, sold lands [ A third party who trans- ferred his contract o Mrs. Adcock. By the terms of the contract the purchaser was to meot all back payments on the land with the interest on the same when they be- came die and pay the taxes and any delin- quency in the payment of these obligations, was to render the contract null and void. On one or two occasions Cheney allowed the payments to be made sometime after they were due and also consentedsto the transfer of the deeds to the property and contract under which it was sold to be transfered to the plaintiff, in the present suit. While the plaintiff claimed the ownership to the prop- erty she allowed the taxes to remain unpaid, and on this pretence Cheney endeavored to have the contract forfeited, but failed to re- turn certain notes that had been given in payment for the land and refused to ac- ceptany farther payments on the same, The suit was brought agamnet Cheney for the specific performance of the contract, the plaintiff agrecing to make the remaining payments as the court might order. The court held that the defendant must stand by the contract and give the plaintiff a deed for the land as soon as the remaining payments are made, The farm in question isa haif section and is valued at about &6,000. After rendering the decision the court began the call of the docket to find what cases are yet for trial at this term of court. The prand jury returned an indictment yesterday against Mrs, Lipp, for selling malt liquors without a government liconse. District Court. The trial of the case of the State against Burgo was resumed in Judge Groff's court yesterday. Mrs. Burgo was put upon the stand again by the state to give some further testimony in regard to her husband’s treat- ment of her while they lived with his sister, Mrs. Midgeley, and also to testify in regard t0 his associations with his Iliinois and New York friends. Her testimony yesterday was directly in the lineof that given Wednes- day, and tended to show the maliciousness of the defendant. The state is producing all the evidence possible to show Burgo's “san- ity }»Mm‘e and at the tine the assault was made. Mrs. Midgeley was put on the stand to tes- tify to her brother’s dondition and his treat- ment of Mrs. Burgo while thoy lived at their houso the two mouths previous to the final trouble, Her testimony corroborated what Mrs. Burgo had stated during that time. The defense was grarted an order from the court to have experfs brought into court to testul as the defendant’s mental condition. County Attorney' ‘Simeral and Lawyer Offut, Burgo's attorhey, eugaged in several exciting legal set-tgos during the afternoon. The defense inauguyated their side about 3 o'clock, and the trouble commenced when Mr. Offut sprang upon the court the sworn afidavits of eightech distinet persons living in New York and Illthois to the effect that they always deemed the prisoner insane. That he had been crazy, in their opinions, for years, and that'’lis insanity was bred from 'his mother. 'After considerable talk the afidavits were received as evidence, and Dr. Tilden was galled as an expert. He would not testify positively that Burgo was msane, nor would he acknowledge that he was sune, A recess was taken until this morning. ENIOINING A RAILROAD. Judge Wakely was occupied yesterday in bearing the arguments on the application of Michacl Clark, Addie Clark ond M. . Clark for an jujunction agaiust the Fremont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley railway company and Michael Elmore, restraining them from tak- ing a right of way through three tracts of thewr land. They hold that they were neyer given an opportunity to meet the appraising board who were to award them damages; that they appeared the day the appraisement was to’ be made, and tliat the appraising board was not of a legal number. They ask that the company be enjoined from grading tho_right of way condemned through their land, and that Michael Elmore be enjoined from any farther gradingon the property. The final arguments will be made in the pro- ceedings later. TO FORECLOSE A MORTGAGE. The Nebraska and Iowa insurance com- pany began an action yesterday against Ar- thur W. Poterson and his wife to foreclose a mortgage given on three lots in Albright's addition to secure the payment of a promis- sory note dated March 21,1150, According to the stipulations of the mortgage any fail- ure to pay the interest would allow the com- pany to begin foreclosure proceedings.

WORN Committed By an Unknown Brute. Ono of the most revolting and sickening of nameless erimes was perpetrated about noon yesterday by a flend in & barn near Jefferson square. The victim was the eight-year-old son of 8. A. Moeller, a conductor, who lives in the brick block on the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Chicago strects. Shortly after dinner - the little fel- low ‘was mot by the unknown human brute while playing in_Jefferson squaro, Theman tried to pursuade the boy to go with him, but he was afraid to, but was finally induced to go by the promise of money. The particulars are too vile for pub lication, and the boy has been horribly mis- used. There are tacts connected with the ca that make hanging too good for the wret who perpotrated the outrage. The mothe heart-hroken and the father frantic with in- dignation, In conjunction with the police Mr. Moeller has been using every means to ferret out the whereabouts of the brute. One arrest on suspicion was made last evening, but when the boy was brought to I(l«nh;:v him he declared that the wrong man was ar- rested. The prisoner was thereforo released.

There was not a very large attendance of the members of the Union club at the moet- ing last night, when the subject of securing better railroad facilities for Omaha was thoroughly and intelligently discussed, The plan of organizing a trust of Omaha citizens to build a lino through the northwest received considerable attention from the gentlemen, who seemed divided as to whether it was best to enlist already established roads in the en- terpriso or invito the countyto vote a sub- sidy for the building and maintenance of the road. J Mr. Barker thought the trust plan the best, as he and the rest of the citizens of Omaha had grown tired waiting for the railroads to carry out their promises. Mr. Shelton changed the subject by asking the gentlemen present if they didn’t think it a good idew to ask the people of the county to vote a uul»sin to the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway to build a line into the city from the south. Txpressions pro and con were indulged in, but nothing definite was arrived at. - Mr, Colpetzer thought the idea of asking the county to vote bonuses for the required facilitics a good one, and that 1t would carry. First, however, they must be satisfied that there are no schemers in the proposed im- provements, but that cverything is to be done above board. Mr. Murphy expressed confidence that if the county voted §1,000,000 in bonds for the encouragement of railroads to come into Omaha and Nebraska, it would not be long before the railroads would be after the money, and would give these parts the facili- ties they are so sadly in need of. Mr, Barker spoke in a like strain, and in- sisted that Omaha’s inferior railroad facili- ities argued against her with eastern capital- ists and money lenders. Debate recurring on the plan of a home company to build a road to the northwest, it was _statod that Messys. Joln Harbaugh, Herman Kountze, Frank Murphy, and others, were ready tg put their thousands mto the ent so. They did not propose to go in, how- on & paper road, and will not put up their money until other citizeus show a ten- dency to put in theirs M. Colpetzer referred to the railroad dis- crimination and spoke principall, lumber interests. wing to the discrimina- ion 10 this commodity, Omaha, which at one time stood third in the list of lumber con- suming cities, is now away downand is being throttied daily by the railroads. Mr. Shel- ton added that 1f it were nog for these rail- road disoriminations Omaha's commercial business would be ten times as large as at present, and asked how the club proposed to do away with this discrunination. Answering this question Mr. Colpetzer bought it could be done by the aid of a local Iroud company. Owing to the slim attendance but the' in- torest which had been inspirved it was de- cided to adjourn until next Monday night when a formal organization will be perfected. ————— Fort Omaha Notes.

Cruicaco, May 24.—[Special Tolegram to Tur Ber)—Tho wheat bulls felt very certain during the day that thero had been such liquidation of poorly protected and high priced grain that the future looked promis- ing not only for a stopping of the decline, but for a new advance movement. Tho day realized, ina moderate way, their expecta- tions. At 1 0'clock July wheat showed a 1340 adyanco over the opening, and 2 over the boltom figures for the day. The trend of all operations in the pit was as on Wednesday to wot ont of July and into more distant options. The Cudahy party continued this sort of changing without any concealment, changing 800,000 bushels from July to August with a single concern. The crowd tailed after him. Hutchinson continued a seller, but the situation scomed to have been such that his sales no longer affected prices. The advance continued and his of- ferings wero casily absorbed. Poole, who has just returned from a trip through tho west, declarcd that in his opinion crops had amazingly mproved.
