Well, everybody hould Lave been out to the park “yester L- afternoon and” wittiessed thew paralyze Mr. Wells, Sioux City's crack rotator. 1t was one of the grandest slug, bitions witbin the memory of the oldest in “habitant—biff! bang! erack! smash! from * the beginuing to the close. This occurred until the oud of the sixth inning, when Um- pire Hagan, out commiseration for the panting, perspiring. d visiting fielders, called the game, The curiosity to see the new club, with Bader and Genins, attracted a rather sizeable crowd, and they all got the fullest worth of their money. While Genins failed to distinguish himself, other than by making three blunders at third, Bader wrapped himsclf in blanket of glory by his daring base runnin ‘and a pretty two-bagger. He s the same old Bader—without a superfor on the lines in the Whole Western association. But you are waiting to game. As usual, Co plate, and aft and “outs’ and his s exhi- hear about the first man at the 1 by his “ins" down shoots” to get the ball over the plate without suceecs, to his base.

It is 80 nice to see an Omahog come hore. “Crooks now squared himself ‘and sent the E Ball spinning right at Wells, who, with a <« diabol tossed him out at first, Gor was luckier, as his hit landed abont o dozen feet away from nimble Mr. Sneed.

Oh, y! how the glad hozannas resounded fipon the air. Order restored, Lovett was given a life by enins’ fumble, and Wilson sent bim to jecond on a hit to center, » By this time every man in the team had fad his turn at the willow, and Cooney bbed up a second time, He was speedily tired, however, and the Corn Dodgers eame in. o Bneed immediatoly hit safe and was *'greeted with faint applause when he neatly sustole second. Lovott didn't like this pretty well and his nflammatory curves began to bristie. He ent 'em in’ straight from the shoulder. «sWhitley went out on a long fly to the poet, wignd Blanchard struck out.” Phelan then ipped up and Lovett very “phelauly” pre- gented hin with a base on five wido balls. But haric! What is il The cheers of the multitude rise on high; gomething has, or is ubout to happen, Ol no, it is only Davy Force—old Davy ‘orce—who wittessed ‘the building of the jyramids of Egypt and was present at the eluge, tuking bis positi the plate. My! the memories that came flooding Back at the sight of that symmetrical but pawed-off form. But there was no time for saddening retro- gpection, for the famous old short stop wielded his war-club and sent one of L tt's down shoots gyrating out into Burns' ture. But it was no go. Bader foul tipped to big Wilson, and the jig was up. In the secoud, after Annis and Crooks had n squelched, Gorman, Burns and Nagle safe, Miller got his base on an_error by helan, and Lovett on balls, This bit of king and luck resulted in three more ies. Tho Hawkeyes got one hit in their half, .- but like the first, it availed them not. In the third Cooney sent the ball flying : \Way outnto the northeast corner of the [ faed, and before Sneed could fish it out from nder the fence, was home. Then Anis made a hit and Crooks a three bagger, and ~ Bfter Gorman bad fauned out, Burns bit for “ ghrec socks and Milier for a single, the net it being four more ruus. The Sioux Citys went out one, two three, did the Omalias in the fourth.

The Moore-Norton Case. Toneka, Kan., July 12,—[Special Telegram to Tiik Ber.)—Shortly before. noon to-day Constable Dawes s¢ d A warrant issued from Justice Searles court on complaint of County Attorney Curtis, charging Mrs. John W. Norton with violation of the laws ol Kansagon two counts. The warrant was mide out for both Moore and Mrs. Norton, but us Moorc was already in custody it was only s 1 on the woman., The first count specifies that they wilfully lived together as man and wife on July 8 at the Copeland hotel, “The sceond count - specifies thut they are guilty . of “open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavio and of open and notorious - acts of public. indeconcy—grossly scandalous in this, that they registered at the Copeland hotel on July S as man wnd wife and occupied the samie_room, contrary to section 12 of the statute In relation to marriages,” which makes it a misdemeanor for a man and won not married to live togetheras man and wifc. It fixes the penalty at not less than 2500 nor more than £1,000 fine, or not less than thirty days nor more than three months imprison- ment in the county jail or penitentiary. If Moore is released” the warfant will thon be sorved upon him. Mrs, Norton was at once taken under cus- tody in room 42, just opposite Moore's room, with an_officer’ guarding cach room. Booth Moore and Mrs. Norton were very much sur- rised when the _warrant read. It is clicved that Mrs Norton will plead guilty when arraigned in court, and the minimum fine will be imposed.

Moore's attorney asked that ve until to-morrow, and the case was continued until that time, ' The uction of the attorney for Moore was a_complete surprise to the attorneys on the other side. An agreement was made last night between the attorneys, and 1t had been settled t no re- sistance would be made to the requisition papers, but that Moore would return to St lou without making any fight.

Prrrsnune, July 12.—The waters that have Dbeen sweeping the valley of the Mononga- hela and the valleys of its tributaries for the last sixty hours are again falling into their natural channels. They leave in their track scenes of desolation and ruin that have never had their counterpart in the same localities. From Pittsburg to the mountain fastness of Randolph county, West Virginia, towns have been ravaged, manufactorics have been inundated, boats have been sunk, houses and lumber have been floated off, fields with their wheat in shock and growing crops have been devastated, families forced to the hills for shelter, and in many instances the accumulations of years of toil and self- denial have 1 lost in an hour. The losses entailed by the flood will not fall short of 3,000,000, a large provortion of whi falls upon thé people of the thriving counties of Mougolia, Marion, Taylar, Harrison, Lewis, Barbour, Upshur and Randolph in West Virginia. In Pennsylvania the losses are in the counties of Allegheny, Washing- ton, Westmoreland, Fayette and Greene, These losses fall most heavy upon the owners of coal property, railroad companies and farmers, In Pittsburg proper much of the loss falls upon the owners of shanty boats and boat houses. The owners of mill property will lose largely and will have to undergo no end of inconvenience on account of the in- ion of mills by water yesterday, the put- ting out of fires and the rustng and almost ruining of valuable machivery. From points above, miilions of feet of valuable timber and lumber have come down and have been carried off into the Ohio a total loss to the owners. senting the — COLONEL SMITH'S TROUBLES, Horace Greeley's Son-in-Law Jailed For Boating His Board Bill, New Youk, July 12.—[Speeial Telegram to Tur Bee.]~Inu cellin the East One Hun- dred and Tywenty-sixth street’ police station there was coufined Jast nigit a distinguished looking individual, who had been arvestod as a hotel"'bilk.” He was registéred on the blot- téras Verres N.

TrixipaD, Colo., July 12.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.) —Some days ago a good- looking young maun calling himseif Fred Remington, and passing for an artist on Har- pers’ Weekly, came to this city and spent some time sketching mountain scenory in this vicinity., He mingled with those of the citi- zens who were recently residents of New Yorlk, and there is no reason for doubting that he gave his genuine namo and true rela- tion to the journal he claimed to represent, To-day he took morphine with suicidal in- tent.
