Wasmixarox, August 1.—The minority re port of the senate judiciary committee on the Jackson (Miss.) political riots was submitted by Senator Pugh in the senate to-day. The minority says that hearings were held with closed doors and in Washington, more than one thousand miles from the local- ity of the transaction. Hence the members of the committee Liad no opportunity of ex- amining the great mass of witnesses who ‘were on the ground. The report follows every detail of the oc- currences under investigation. It says: *‘T'his conspiracy of McGill and Baldwin to eliminate the negro vote and to secure the 30-0 ration of the committec of one hun- is nu{geltlve of the methods by which these southern outrages are manufactured r political purposes.” It declares that Baldwin stands impeachéd as utterly un- Worthy of it. It finds the evidence ‘against the federal officials inculpated by the majority as unimportant, untrustworthy and illegal. “Tt is not shown,” the minority says, “that any of the federal nMcers incrim- inated bx the committee did a single illegal act, or aided or advised in the doing of such,” The report is signed by Senators Pugh, Coke, Vest and George. bl TR THE BERENICE SEARLE OASE.

Cuicaco, August 1.—[Special Telegram to Tk Bee.|—After atwo days' legal battle, in- tensified by ill-will between her relations,the eustody of little Berenice A Searle was award ed to Judge Thomas C. Patterson, of North Platte, Neb. Judge Patterson, who is Bere- mice's aunt’s husband, was appointed her guardian by the Lincoln county, (Neb.) eourt. Mrs. Emly A, Thompkins, another sunt, who lives in Chicago, disputed Judge Patterson’s right to the child on the ground that before she committed suicide the girl's mother gave herto Mrs, Thompkins. The nt was also made that the appointment of 'atterson as guardian by the Nebraska court gove him the right to take the girl in Ilinois. udge Baker said, in deciding the case, that mml C.

The home team's sluggers hit the sphere hard, While the visitors could scarce see the ball. The Apostles made errors, and Omaha too, But the visitors' were frequent and Omaha's few; And Lovett's inshoot—there was no use in tryin— ‘While the Omahogs fairly paralyzed Bry'an, There were singles and doubles, and even a triple, And a home run by Miller which caused quite a ripple— But say, what's the use of telling you more; At the bottom you'll find the official score. Omaha 9, St. Paul 5. The apostolic crowd from the home of the walrus and the white bear, went out to the ball park yesterday afternoon as full of hope and joy and confidence as a lot of school boys going to a circus. Little did they dream of the dark cloud that was so soon to enshadow their young lives, and leave them sad, subdued and sor- rowful. At practice they were as frisky as a lot of les, and threw the ball with an ac- nd caught it with a certanty, and it with an emphasis that made the fifteen hundred anxious people in the stands shiver with apprebension and alarm, Indeed they did present a formidable, as well asau impressive picture, as they caf vorted like a lot of colts just let out to pas- ture, and the universal verdict was that the Omahas were doomed to get itin the neck. They are every one model athlete clean limbed, supple and brawn, A hort of the old olympic days, and it's no little wonder that fear filled the hearts of the spectators, The war horse as described in the Book of Job falls short of the eminence reached by the exultation of the St. Pauls. Instead of a horse it was nine lithe and muscular voung men whose necks were clothed with thunder and the glory of whose nostrils was terrible—it was th They puweth not i at Omaha, an » turneth they back at the bats of justice; the curves of Thomas Lovett rattleth against them, and the big gloves and wind-filled chest protector of mo lord juke Nagle! When the assault com- menced by the Omahas they would swal- loweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and they saith among the ball tossers ha! ha! and they smelleth the battle afar off, the up- roar of the spectators and the fierce cries of the umpire. But stranger things than all these came to ass. The first brown appareled hero that stepped out from the reim of shade along the grand stand into the crematory sunshine of the first day of August was that lovely youth, yelopt by his mamma, Jimmy Burns, ‘A ripplo of hand clapping run like a zephyr through the crowd, and the Poet look around as much as to say, “Shall I paste her.” Then he turned and with all the power within his puissant frame, he pasted her, Out through' the quavering sunshine the sphere went whirling like an aereolite athwart the background blue, and a mighty shout arose, but quickly fell into a husky roan, as Mr. Murphy galloped back, settled fim liko o statuo. of ‘Atias and t00k 1n the ‘whizzing globe, d That was bad; it looked like a “‘homer,” and yet was an out, Sir William Annis came next, but all he could do was pop up high foul to a herculean young Irishman named Mor- rissey. Morrissey, they say, is growing fat on fouls. Following Billy came he of the musical jaw, better known among statesmen, jurists aud politicians, as Jack Crooks. He only waited a moment, then sent the ball like a streak aloug the ground, safe past second. Evyerybody yelled. Then O'Connell, stimulated by the plaudits bestowed on “Well! Well!"” on an infield hit, beat the ball to first. Everybody yelled some more. A dead calm instantly followed, though, for Coonoy fouled out to Earle, The Apostles came in, and the first thing that happened was a strike out for Lovett. His perplexing shoots were too much for Mr. Carroll. That was nice. Anothar Italian named Murphy ambled to the plate to try his luck, He drove a wicked ball at Crooks, oand al- though the latter made o good stop, he was unable to throw the batter out. Morrissey, like some tall oak, next towered up at the plate. He looked big enough to knock a church down, but all he could do was drive a sharp one to Miller, who fired Murphy out at second. There was time enough for a good double, but Murphy got in Crook’s way and the young man tried to knock an English sparrow off the bleaching boards, and’ Morrissoy waltzed around to third, 'Pickett brought him home by a'safe smash to center, and the grand stand cjected one great big soulful “ah 1" But thank the little twinkling stars they could do no more, In the second it was one, two, three for Omaha, aud one, two, three for the Apostles, two of the latter striking out. In the next inning Joe Miller was the first tobat. Two strikes were callod on_ him where he caught the ball in the ribs and sent it flying out to Murphy's territory. Murphy started for it, but his little feet caught in a clump of four-leafed clover, and he went headlong upon his head, and the ball sailed on out over him hke a bird upon the Wwing, out, out, out, across the bivycle track aud among the carringes, and honest old Joe galloped clear home, ‘Palk about making the welkin ring, why the audience fairly made it howl, ‘The score was tied, and being in a hurry to reach the next inning, the nmext three men went out in suecession, In their half, the visitors came within a hair's lnnsnh of making another run, but Mr. Miller and Mr. Nagle were too smooth for them, and Murphy was vaughtat the plate. In the fourth, Chippy MeGarr, who is Omaha's base ball hero to-day, although a counle of weeks ago lis name was mud, stepped up and cracked the ball out to the loft field fence for o muplu of cushions. Naglelstruck out, but Lovett's fly was muffod 1'3' Jarroll and Chippy went to third, and on what did he do? ‘Why he simply got up on his toes and stole ‘home. . Oh my, oh me, how the people did shout. Miller then drove a hot one right at Mr, Brynan, He attemoted to catch Lovett on a force at second, but Shafler dropped the bail and both men were safe, Say, you should have hieard them ring the ‘welkin again, It was now the Poet’s turn. He aid just ‘what Miller did, hit to Brynan, and Brynan in ugamn essaying @ double I 10 second, but he missed Sha six feet, and Lovctt came home and thi Annis_then continued the by making a dandy two-bagger, and ni'.h . Crooks, just for the fun of the thing, sl in an safe drive, Aunis scored. P. O, came up with smile on_his fuce as deep as a well and as broad as a burn _door, and corked a hot one % Pickett, and Pickett threw bim first. Morrissey, in'his eagerness to make a double by throwing “Well! Well!" out a thitd, threw wild and Jack brought in the sixth tal Wasn't that sufficient to make a woodel Indian yell! It was several minutes befor the uproar subsided. Cooney’s out retired the side. In their half St. Paul drew a blank. In the fifth McGarr's magnificent three base drive, and a passed ball, scored another tally, St.'Paul could do nothing, neither could Omaha in the sixth, but in this in- ning Morrissey seored for the visitors on a snil.l‘, hit, a passed bali and an error by O'C: nell. In the seventh McGarr made another hit and another run, He stole second, and camo home on Lovett's safe drive. No more runs were made until the ninth, when the Apostles, on a base on balls and three singles added three tallies to their score, And thus the game ended. 1t would not be right to wind up this re- port without a word of praise for Umpire fagan. His work was simply perfection itself. ‘The official score: AHA. R, 1. 8B, PO. A, E.

Mr. Ford Défends the Regans—Th Business Transacted. Members of the_city council gathered in groups last evening to discuss affairs of state, and it wa§' fearly 9 o'clock when the president’s gavel {1l A resolution..was passed ordering the board of public sverks to repair the garbage dump boat at thie foot of Chicago street. Mr. Lowry tried to have the resolution re- ferred to the mayar, who, he asscrted, had pigeon-holed a similar resolution for the Jones street boat, introduced by Mr. Lowry five weeks ago. e thought ome boat worth as mugh) attention as another, and if the mayor was not so small and narrow-minded he would have had the Jones gtreet boat repaired as requested. The councilmen from the First ward were directed to arrange with the B. & M. for a crossing of their tracks at the foot of Jones streot. The city engineer was authorized to em- ploy and equip three additional men for field work. Peter Hendricksen, through his attorney, J. C. Cowin, asked whether the city proposed to pay a judgment of 752 in his favor with- out further proceedings. The query was re- ferred to the city attorney. The following contracts from the board of public works were approved: For paving Farnam street from Thirty-sixth to Thirty- seventh with cedar, in favor of J. B. Smith & Co.; with Regan Bros, & Co. for paving Leavenworth street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-fifth with cypress; with J. E. Riley for curbing Fourteenth street from Howard to Leavenworth. The committee to whom was referred the unfinisted 1887 paving contracts of Regan Bros. recommended that the paving on Grace, Seventeenth (from Farnam to Har- ney) and Eighteenth streets, be awarded to Regan Bros., to be done with cypress blocks, and that the contracts for Pacific, Twenty- fourth, Seventeenth (from Davenport to Cummings, Sixth, Nincteenth and Harney streets be cancelled and re-advertised. The report provoked some discussion, and Mr. Ford took the part of the arbor day, as he expressed it. He asserted that the Regans had been delayed by the curbing contractors, and had paved all streets, ox- cept two blocks, in which the curbing was ready for the pavers. He said the Regans had been the victims of those of whom they bought material, and he also intimated his belief that the board of public works and the city engineer were ‘‘down on the Regans.” What is sauce for Peter should be sauce for his master, said Mr. Ford, and the council ought to jnmp on the curbing contractors and other delinquents as well as the Regans. Prosident Bechel snubbed because the Twenty-fourth street contract was to be can- celled. He wanted another day’s grace a felt hurt because concessions had been fre- quently made in favor of other councilmen and one was now denied him. The recommendation of the committee was amended by requiring cedar on Nineteenth strect instead of cypress, and the report was adopted. Messrs. Ford and Van Camp voted in the negative. The board of public works submitted a report of their action in the Regan contracts. It was in accord with the repert of the council committee, and was approved, except us to Nineteenth street. colt, d. Lk PR Their Buggy Upset.

After a speech by Mr. Call in support of the amendment, Mr. Edmunds said that he had been a member of a commit- tee a few years ago which had investigated that whole subject, and he was satisfied that the appropriation would be a useless waste of money, and that the wisest thing to be done with the late confederacy was to forget all about it Mr. Gibson opposed the amendment, Ho submitted that it was not proper at this late nour to call in question the validity or in- tegrity of the surrender that was made by the officers of the confederate forces, ' confederate states hud died a noble ¢ the field of battle many years ago, all that survived being of that sentiment of honor which had beaten high in the hearts of men who represented that fallen powe Mr, Call did not sympathize with Mr. Gib- son in the opinion that the confederacy should be buried, and that its good friends should let it alone. The confederate states would live in history for the great and heroie_characters which they had de- veloped. Their fame was written in the immortal pages of histor s characters as Lee and J 8 d he was glad to know that the loyal hearts of the north and of its soldiers responded to that sentiment. Mr. Allison moved to lay Mr. Call's resolu- tion on the table, and the motion was agreed to, The bill was then reported back to the sen- ate and all the amendments were concurred in, except that appropriating $50,000 for the widow of Prof. Baird, on which Mr, Reagan demanded the as and nays. The amend- ment was concurred inj yeas 23, nays 11, Mr. Plumb mquired of Mr, Allison asto the length of time it would probably require for the sundry civil bill to become a law. He said that ne made the inquiry with the object of learning the probable length of the session. Mr. Allison stated that there remained un- disposed of five of the regular appropriation bills, He thought that it might be y assumed that all the appropria- tion bills could be disposed of next week. As to the tariff bill, it was not possible for him to say when it could be reported to the senate, but it was the intention of the com- mittee on finance to bring that bill into the chamber at the earliest practicable moment, and to have it considered with all due speed consistent with its careful consideration. After an unsuccessful motion to have the senate meet at 11 a. m., the senate ad- journed. House. . ‘WasHINGTON, D. C., August 1.—After dis- posing of unimportant businesson the speak- er's table, the house went into committee of the whole, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair, on the senate amendment to the army appropriation bill, The pending motion was that made by Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, to non-concur in the amendment appropriating $2,500 for repairs to the sea wall and _wharf at Willet’s Point. Mr. Burnes of Missouri addressed him- self to the policy which the house should follow in acting upon the senate amend- ments, which is offered in the house, would be out of order. Mr. Wheeler of Mississippi could see in the amendment no disposition on the part of the senate to infringe on the powers of the house. Mr. Butterworth thought that the senate acted under an apprebension that the forti- fications bill would not be reported, and deemed it wise to provide a defence on the army bill. He advocated the fortifica- tiors bill as reported from the committee on appropriations, as against the plan provided in the senate amendment, in that the former inyited com- petition in the building of guns and provided for a board to Jees upon their merits, In doing 8o he had one or two heated colloquies with Mr. Reed of Maine, which were much relished by the democratic side. Mr. Laird of Nebraska spoke in support o £ the sonate amendments as the only way of securing that protection which the country needed. The pending amendment was then non- concurred in, as were also amendments ap- propriating $1,000 for repairs to the works at old Farrancas, Pensacola bay, Florida, and appropriating $500,000 for the or purchase of cannon and carr| i Mr. Bayne moved to substitute the Allegheay arsenal for Watervliet arsenal as the site of the proposed gun factory.

Agreed to and the committee rose and reportaed its action to the house. The recommendation of the com to minor amendments was carried out. The amendments were non-concurred in.

Mr. Townshend raised a point of order against the resolution, and pending a de- rtslon the house adjourned. - Excursionists at Madrid. Maprin, Neb.,, August 1.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee.]—The land excursion to Perkins county with Madrid as its objective point, reached this place to-day at noon with coaches filled to overflowing.
