Mr. Cullom said that the committee ex- pected o enter on a thorough investigation ©of the relations between the United States and the British Canadian possessions con- pected with the subject of transportation, both by rail and water, and it was only owing to an understanding with the senator grom Massachusctts that he had not made any objection to the adoption of the resolu- tion.

Mr. Spooner said that in reference to the wote just had he would offer no other public duilding amendments that were in the same eategory as tho Atchison one, but he would offer now an appropriation of £50,000 . for a public building at Opelousas, La.

Mr. Mills asked unanimous consent August 7 be assigned for the consideration of bills reported from the committee on labor, with the exception of the convict labor bill Mr. Spiola, of New York, objected to this exception. Mr. Mills stated that unanimous consent could not be procured unless exception was mado. Me. Spinola replied that in that labor bills should die just where th were.

On motion of Mr. Townsend the further consideration of the deficiency bill was post- poned and the house went into committee of the whole on the army appropriation bill with the senate amendments. All the amendments were non-concurred in, with the exception of those relative to fortifica- tions and ordinance. Mr. Townsend then moved a non-concur- rence in these amendments in bulk, but Mr. Buchanan demanded that they be considered in_order, Mr. Townsend then moved a non-concur- rence in the first amendment, appropriating $2,500 for the repair of the sea wall and wharf at Willets Point, N. Y. Mr. Sayres of Texas, said that the senate has no more right to put these amendments on the army bill than it had to put them on the judiciary bill, It was a question which involved the dignity and power of the house. Mr, Cutcheon of Michigan said that if there was anything 1 be donc m the nature of provisions for armament and fortification it must be done by the army appropriation bill. While he would vote with his commit- tee in favor of a concurrence, he hoped that it“ the end the amendments would be agreed 0. Mr. Blount of Georgia, wanted to see the house conference instructed to inform the senate conference thut the house would never yield. He would rather see the army bill il than sec the senate dominating this body. He was willing to resort to every par- liamentary method to prevent the perpetra- tion of this outrage on the house, Mr. Reed characterized as absurd the posi- tion taken by the gentleman from Georgin, That position was that because the rules of the house sent certain biils to certain com- mittees the senate was to_conform to those rules in the amendment of those bills, ‘The position was in conflict not only with the sen- ate—that the house could stand—but with common sense, and that the house could not stand. He then s‘mko of the importance of the proposed legislation. He admitted that there was not one chance in a hundred of war, but if war should come the United States would undergo a national humiliation more terrible thun had ever before been in- flicted on the face of the earth. Pending action the committee rose and the house adjourncd. e FRICKE'S PECULIAR LOVE. How it Led to Mating and Painful Separation. Some four or five months since Chris Specht was in Germany and while there in- duced an old friend of his named Froderick Fricke to immigrate to this conntry. After sottling up his affairs in Faderland, Fricke took passage with his wife and baby ona Cunarder for this country. The first day out the infaut took sick and was a great charge to the mother. Then, to make matters worse, the mother, in her worry and excitement, was steicken with mariginous fever, and died three days after leaving Ler native shoves. On board the steamer was a young girl named Rosa Englemaun, who was bound for New York, where she had a brother. After Mrs. Fricke's death, Kosa assumed the duties of nurse to tho little one, as well as cousoler for the bereaved husband. She was unremitting in her kindly offices until tho party reached the American metropolis, when the baby, which had improved under her moth erly care, was turned over to the father. Mr. Fricke prosented Miss Engleman with a sub- stantial attestation of his gratitude, and tak- g her address, the parties separated. Fricke came on to Omaba, and for a time his little one was cared for in'the family of tho Spechts, but becoming too much of u charge, Mr. Fricke was obiiged to place it in the hands of a stranger aurse, who was allowed a certain sum per week for its maintenance. This arrangenient, however, was gistaste to the father, as ho was much averse to se ing his offspring brought up by hands which had no partitular interest in the little one's welfare beyoud the pecuniary benefit they were deriving therefrom. More und more every duy it preyed upon the father's mind, untii his anxiety became unbearable, and he resolved upon & change. Naturally he went to his old friend Specit for counsel and advice, and after a thorough discussion of the condition of things Mr. Specht suggdsted marriage. Fricke, how- ever, since the demise of his wife, Lad eschewed fomale society, and he was apore- hensive that it would roquire too long a time for him to scarch out a worthy woman, His first wifo was the ideal of all he considered vine in woman, and while he did not rebel against Spechiv's respectful vroposition, he felt that it would prove o task that promised more of failure than success. Ho said, how ever, lie would try. That night after he bad retived, and as he lay there cogitating over his sudden determi- nation, he lived oncemare through the never- to-be-forgotten scenes of his journey across the Lrond Atlantic. His sick boy, and then his fran, her ravings of home and friends in deliriua, her death, and mournful burial at sca, all passed vefore his closed eyes with the vividuess of reality. But these lugubrious shadov not all that passed beforo the man's mental vision, A tall, graceful young woman, with bright blu i, & rosy cowmplexion and a knot of luxuriant yellow h mingled with the creations of his memory, and an involuntary thrill went through him and lingered in tingling sensations in the thoracic region. »w she sat and rocked the little one, sing- ing it to slumber with soft lullabys, now she knelt by the side of the delirous wife, minis tering to her wants and whispering words of hope and consolation: then again she es- sayed to mitigate the grief of the stricken husband, It was Rosa Englemann. With the memory came a happy thought to the perplexed man, and_the hope that in her he might find the embodiment of all that which he sought. She had made a niost favorable impression upon him during the melanctoly days of his journey tothis country, and he remembered that it was with a’pang that_he parted with her upon their arrival in New York. But was she married! Could she still be found at the ad dress she had given tim, and what wou shie think of his strange proposition? In any event he would write the next morning, and lay before her clearly and plainly all the circumstances that prompted the act, and ask her to wed him., This he did. A wc or two later a reply came. It was couched in precise langzuage, but his proposal had met with favor. She'closed by saying that she needed money to defray her expenses to Omaha, and asked that it be sent her. It was, and three months ago the heroine of the vage of two months before reached this lnml the day following was made Mrs, The clouds had now rolled by in Frederick Fricke's ilfe, and a flood of sunshine o'er. spread all things, The baby w brought lome, and affairs with the strangely mated pair floated along like a through sylvan shades. F e perfectly happy, but now he bemoans and laments over the fact that perfect happiness is of but short duration in this lite, A month or 50 ago, the lovely situation at the Fricke mansion received a ru shock, or in other words, a fair sized row broke out. It was ched up, the small-pox broke out afr and again did the rupture oceor, hen it was that Fricke wondered why he had been born, He folt that he could give Bob Ingersoll an impor- tant bit of information, and that /s that sheol 18 not only 'a very warm blishment but that it existed immediately roundabout his terrestrial abode,and the idea that it only existed somewhere in the bowels of the earth down toward China, was an_ab- solutely fallacious one. But things went on om bud to worse, until one night, about three weeks ago, Mrs. Fricke packed up 1 little bundle of worldly zoods and ran_aw: leaving Fricke alone with his baby. At first it was supposed that she had returned to New Yorlk, but lator developments show that sho is offic ie with a respet- r of Scventeenth streots is not without it is only another nplification of the old adage that if you ‘“‘marry in haste yow'll repent at leasure.” That's what Fricke is doing now, as & ves away at his trade in the employ of Lictenberger, the plumoer. COLONEL LORIN MILLER DEAD. A Pioneer of Nebras nent Man in lts Early Days. + Colonel Lormn Miller, one of the oldest and most promment citizens of Omaha, quietly breathoed his las Ay afternoon at the residence of Mr. I. E. Sanborn, 813 South Nineteenth strect. He had lived to the ripe old age of cighty-cight, and knew scarcely pain or sickness up to the day of his demise. The immediate cause of his death was the failure of heart action, caused by senility. His life has been a long and use- ful one. His ancestors lived for a number of gen- crations m the state of Vermont, He first suw the light in Westmoreland, Oneida county, New York, in the year 1800. Tu rly life he was a surveyor and has been an engincer in New York, Wiscon- sin ond other states. About 1330 he was married and three children blessed the union. He hns scen many of the most thickly populated western siates when they were in a state of nature and unmurked with the ax or plough of the white man. When he passed through 1linois to Wiscon- sin at un early day he drove over the present site of Chicago when nothing was there but Fort Dearborn and the swaiip. He came to Omaha October 19, 1854, and at that, time the prairie grass swayed in the breeze where now stand tho most stately Dbuildings in the city. He first stopped at the Bedell house, which stood then at the corner of Harney and Eleventh streets. He was already past the meridian of life at the time, but his wife's health had been failing for some time and he hoped that a change to the prairies of the far, wild west would ben- efit her. But in this he was most bitterly disappointed, for inless than a yoar she was dead. It was a terrible blow to him. As the village of Omaha commenced to grow he took an active interest in all matters relating to her prosperity. He surveyed Jeffrey's ad- dition and also the uddition of Scriptown, which included u tract extending from Cum’ ing to Fort stroet. In this addition ho pur- chased a block on Twenty-third and Charles streets, which is now_valued at $30,000. 1866-67 he hield the position of mayor of Omaha and performed at the same time the duties of police magistrate. During his later years ho Qi considerable. newspaper work, ® Tho market reports in the paper were his purticu- lar_hobby, and he took great intercst i maintaining his department of the Horald. He ulso wrote the political history of seven years ago. He had met uearly all the prom nent men in public life in his day and o his wonderfully retentive meaory woro stored away a perfect eyclopedia of facts reluting to their personal characteristics. He was a Jeflersonian democrat d, ed in the wool, and when General Jackson became president —he rode clear to Washington in a stage conch to congratulate him, When Cleveland was inaugurated three years ago hie again made a pilgrimage to Washingzton, but this time by rail. He is one'of a ve Lmited few who have called on both Juck- son and Clevelaud. His three children are all ving, the eldest, Dr. George L. Miller, being a well known citizen of Omaha. His othier two children, Mrs, Lysander Richard- son and Mrs. Johuson, live respectively at Athol, Mass., and Geddes, N. Y.

She was a young and very attractive girl,living in a double red brick house on the Baltimore pike, east of the town. On the first day of the combat, when the Eloventh corps, under Major General O.

Omaha Kausas Cit, Milwaukee, Chicago. Sioux Ci Minneapoli 83 Omaha 5, Minneapolis 2. The game played at the ball park yesterday afternoon between Omaha and Minneapolis was one of the finest contests seen here this season, The work of the home team was almost faultless, every man played brilliantly, and it would bave to have been a great team to have taken the ball from them. Clarke pitched for Omaha, with Wilson to cateh him, while Klopf and Broughton oftici- ated for Minueapolis. The work of the local battery was of a very igh order, Daddy Clarke holding the big northern slugeers down to four hits. Cooney and Crooks both did phenomenal work, toe latter’s playing being of a charac- ter that any player might well feel proud of. The errors of steady old Joe Miller and McGarr were wholly excusable, Joe's being a high throw to first of a ferociously hit ball and Mac’s, a mufl of a fly ufter a hard, long run for As it was he came within an ace of throwing his man out at first. Sharp and accurate flelding, coupled with skillful twirling preyented either side from scoring until the fourth innings. Then the visitors jumped in and scored an unearncd run. After Walsh's out to Crooks, who reached out like u great big octopus and gathered in everything that came his way, Brosnan got in a sufe drive to short left fiell: He ran down to seeond on a half passed ball, Rowe, the lubberly duffer, struck out, to the joy of the crowd, but Kreig hit a hot one to Miller. It had hair on it, and Joe fumbled, and then when he did fasten his fangs on it he threw it wild to 1. O., aud Brosnan scampered home. Jevne retired the side on an out from Doddy to O'Connell. 1t was another ostrich egg for both sides in the fifth, but in the sixth Omaha took the lead. Miller drove a safe one to center, but in his anxiety to knock the ball ove ht's warehouse, struck out. Burns, the Poet, however, had been holding hims in readiness for just such an emergency, and walking jauntily up o the plate he smashed Mr. KKiopf for a beautiful single. Billy Annis followed with & mate for tha. Poet’s hit, and Miller, who had of course reached thivd, tried to get home on the smash. He was caught between the buses and run down. “Then, just to spoil this gaod work, Broughton essayed to catch Burps off sccond, and he fired the ball down that-way, but it went way over Brosnan's head and out onto the prairie, where an animated object wasn't to be scen. Rowe and McCullur had run clear into the diamond to assist i corralling Miller. Of course on_this throw of Broughton's both Burns and Annis seampered home, Tnus Omaha was abead, and her stock took a big jump. i Broughton told Rowe he was a churap, and the crowd agreed withi him, and they jecred the great man to thej®heart's content. Minneapolis could no¥ even up ‘matters in her half, and then, just#Fmake things morce binding, Omaha camie right back at her in the seventh with two more. Cooney led off with a safe one to_left, and quickly stole second. McGarr drove the ball to Kreig, and while hc was puzaling it reached first in safety. Wilson was now _due and he did not disappoint his admirers 2The first ball that left Klopt's hand he caught square on ls bat and lined her out to deep center for a couple of cushions, Cooney tried to make home on the hit, aud did so nicely, but _the umpire suid no, and of course he was crodited with an out. ' Miller flied out. to Jevne, but Clarke cleared the afine two bageer out into McCul- lum's territory. He overrun second, how- ever, unfortunately and was put out. 1t was a cipher each in the eighth, and a taily apiece in the ninth. Omaha made her's on a rattling hit across first bag by O'Con- nell, and a two bagger by McGarr, and Min neapolis hier,s on a two bagger by Kreig, and a siugle by Jevne, The struggle ended, the crowd cheered lus- tily, mopped their classical brows, and with joy and contentment in their hearts, put up their little lead pencils and went howe.
