Omaha had a close call yesterday afternoon and she can thank her lucky stars that she escaped humbling herself to the Milwaukees. The attendance, as usual, was good and while there was but little enthusiasm evinced, the struggle was of a most extraor- dinarily interesting character. This was simply on account of its extreme closonecss and the uncertainty which attended the out- come. It was neither team’s ball until the last man was out. Both Clarke and Shenkle did their part in the points, and mn fact as much can be said of every man in the two teams with the exception of Miller and Grif- fith, the formor’'s being excusable ones upon hard hit grounders, but the latter's was of the yellowest hue. Higan, of course,umpired finély. In the first innings after Burus' out, Chip- pey McGarr made a hit, and then withont Turther ceremony proceed to steal firat, sec- ond and home. Of course this was all accomplished midst the most enthusiastic applause. It ‘was a featno other man in the team could have accomplished, or would even attempt. Crooks and Miller, thereafter, quietly retired the side. For the visitors McAleer led off with a corking two-bagger, was advanced to third on Forster's baser, and tied the score on Strauss’ #u rive. The next three batters ‘went out with delicious rapidity. After this one hively.innings, the game was an uninterrupted succossioh of goose eggs up 10 the ninth, when by sheerest luck, the Omahas succeeded in lassoing the winning run, Grifith muffed Burns' long fly, and the batter made second before he could recov the bail, The valiant Chippey then came to the bat, but for once he was unequal to the tusk, and died on ® high ipop-up -to Fuller. Lucky Crooks, however, happened along past at this critical uncture, and suavely threw himself into the reach. He lined a corker out to center, and the Poet dashed home. He scored but by the slimest shave the world. The smallest fraction of subdivided time would have been suflicient to have squelched the giddy High- lander. Wilson put the side out by cleaving the wind three times in rapid succession, In their final balt the Beer Jerkers, got a man on base, but the subsequent muscle to bring him in was lacking, and with one long d:"nwn out, liugering groan, they gave up the 08t Full particulars will be found in the ofticial score.

Deputy Sheriff Clyne and others; who have Just returned from there, state that the peo- ple are wild with excitement, over twenty persons being willing to swear that they have scen the ghost of Sheldon, who was murdered by Robinson some two months ago.

Some of the business transacted at the re- cent meeting of general freight agents in this city has been made public. Among other things congjdered was the fact that at St Joe, Atchison and Kansas City the various lines of iroad, and principally the Chicago, Kansas'& Neoraska, refused to stop their shigménts of grain at the points mentioned, for inspection, without rebilling, which action destroyed the through rate, the sum of the tivel locais being greater than the through tarfff.' This applies of course to grain_bought by dealers at the points above mentioned from dealers west of the riy and destined for shipment to Chicago. The meeting ordered all roads to hold their ship- ments at these river points for inspection. No Con issions. The lines in the Western States Passenger association have received a mnotice from Chairman John M. Abbott stating that it has been suggested that no commissions be paid on tickets sold to the G, A. R. reunion at Columbus, inasmuch as the rate—1 cent per mile—has been made so low. He asks a vote on the proposition. From information gathered yesterday it is fair to presume that the suggestion will be concurred in. On the Quiet. Kansas Clty is reaping a benefit at present which Omaha does not enjoy. Chairman J. N. Abbott, of the Western States Passenger association, is in New York and the lines he- tween Kansas ity and Uhlano have openly made a rate of $8.50, which is $4 less than rogular passenger tariff, Consequently, the Kansas City lines are crowded with passen- gers.

His steal- ings and spoils amount to $50,000. A perfect shower of warrants huve been issued for his arrest, and the past few days half a dozen bailiffs have done nothing else but watch his residence and scour the city and surrounding towns. The manner in which he managed to work on the credulity and innocence of other people is remarkable. He became & promin- ent promoter of & new ice company, which he got up for the benefit of the butchers of this city and vicinity. He secured the signa- tures of bntchers to contracts, which after- wards turned out to be promissory notes. He was arrested, but as he was not commit- ted for forgery, ‘he was released. He has lived very expensively and gambled away a good deal of his h. His notes went to protest and judgment after judgment was entered nst him.

He thought that a berson could teach his or her own tongue better than a forcigner. Mr, Millard said it was not a question of Gorman or American, but ome of ability. The best teacher of German ever in the colloge he attended was an_American. An American well oducated in the German tongue understood better than a German the difficulties that would ariseto a student of that language.

No news has yet been received of the whereabouts of Dr. Vanden Burg's nine- year-old daughter who was kidnapped on last Friday afternoon while playing in the front yard of her home. It is still believed that Dr. Vanden Burg's divorced wife was oue of the partios engaged in the bold act. After being driven to Cordova it has since boon leariied that the, idnappers could nov make connections on the railroad that they wished and they then drove to Dorchester, where they purchased tickets for Lincoln, On arriving at that city the man bought a ticket for Omaha and the womun one to Peoria, Ill. The cause of the ubduction is supposed to be duo to the fact that the child is about to fall heir to £10,000 which the kid- nappers wish to get hold of.

Brief Eulogies Delivered by Messrs, Hawley, Hooker, Cutcheon and Others—A Pension For Mrs. Sheridan, Senate. WasniNarox, August 6.—As soon as tho reading of the journal was concluded in the senate Mr. Edmunds roso and said: I ask unanimous consent to offer at this time reso- lutions on a subject which every senator will understand. Resolved, That, the senate has learned with profound regret of the death of Philip H. Sheridan, late general of tho army of tho United States. Resolved, That tho senate hereby expresscs its gratoful senso of his great and patriotic services in the cause of his country, its deep sensibility of the loss which tho nation has sustained in his death, and its sympathy with his family in their bereavement. Resolved, That a copy of theso resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deconsed. Unanimous consent having boen given, Mr. Fdmunds said: “It is quite unnocossary for any senator to submit any observation in support of those resolutions. The carcer of General Sheridan has been so_conspicuous, 80 grand, 0 noble and so patriotic that_any words which 1 could utter in respect of his memory or in praise of his career would bo like gilding refined gold or painting the lily. Therefore, for my part, leave them to the judgment of the senate without any further observation." “The resolutions were adopted unanimously. Subsequently a bill was introduced by Mr. Farwell and referred to the committee on pensions granting a pension of $,000 a year to Mrs. Sheridan. Mr. Blair introduced a joint resolution. which was referred to the committee on fo eign relations, requesting the president to open negotiations looking toward a settle nient, of all differcnces between England and this country, and to a political uniou between Canada and the United States, Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, offered a resolu- tion instructing the committee on finance inquire into the fact of the od_combina- tion of producers of cotton bags. Laid over till to-morrow. The senate then resumed consideration of the fisheries treaty in open exceative session and was addressed by Mr. Vance in supiort of its ratification. The president’s message anvouncing the death of General Sheridun having been read, Mr. Hawley arose and said: “Nothing that 1 can say is needed to set forth the loss which the country has sustained by the decease of that_able, brilliant, maguiticant_soldier and beloved general, Philip H. Sheridan, [ have just learncd of the course taken by the house and I now send to the desk a resolution_for which I ask immediate consideration,” The resolution was as follows: Lesolved, That the ehair is requested to appoint a committee of on scnators to attend the funeral services,of the late Gen- eral Sheridan, The resolution was ndopted, and Messrs. Hawley, Mandorson, Cullom, Stewart, Hamp- were appointed. he senate then adjourned. WasniNGroy, August 6.—Before any im portant action was taken in the house, the proceedings were nterrupted by a message from the president announcing the death of General P. H. Sheridan. Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, said that he had prepared resolutions appropriato to the occa- sion, but was informed that the military committee had agreed to a serics of resolu- tions and he would refrain from offering his. Mr. Hooker, of Mississipp, usked unani- mous consent 1o offer the following: Resolved, That the house has learned with profound griof of the death of General P, H. Sheridun, commander of the armies of the United States: Resolved, That as a mark of respect to the memory of 'the deceased this house do now adjourn. Resolved, That the speaker of the house be directed'to_transmit to the widow of the deceased a copy of these resolutions, and assurance of the sympathy of the house in the loss which she hus sustained. in common with the people of the government, Resolved, That the speaker of this house appoint a_committeo of seven members to confer with a like committeo of the senate, and after consultation with the family of tho decensed to take such action as may be ap- propriate in regard to the public obsequies of General Sheridan. ir. Hoover then briefly addressed the in eulogy of the deceased soldier. He “The career of the distinguished military man whom these resolutions were designed to hionor was a mark of the singular fact that in this count ere was no position in eivil or in military life that was not within the reach of the humblest citizen of the land. General Sheridan inherited from his father the fire and spirit of that great Irish race that had 8o successfully fought the battles of all countries save his own.” Mr. Cuicheon, of Michigan, on behalf of the military committee, seconded the resolu- tion. Phillw H. Sheridan. he said, entered the volunteer service of the United States as colonel of tho Second Michigan cavalry, and Michigan had always claimed hini for her own so far as his military record in the vol- unteer service was concerned. The black steed, so famed in_poctry and so which Sheridan rode into the fray from Win. v, was the gift not a time to speak of Sheridan’s g ry a8 o soldier, of his modesty as a man, of his loyalty to the flag he followed, or of ' his boundless fame, He only desired now to express, on behalt of Michigan, her boundless grief that this man, of the last of that great brilliant galaxy of generals, who mado illusirious the epoch in which they lived, had passed away. The resolutions were aiso seconded in be- half of the people of Ohio by Mr. Grosvenor. His memory, ho said, is the common heritage of the loyal people of the country, and will k ultimately in_the veculiar Jine of war he adopied as in which he made himself con- spicious as with rival, and his modest misde e sine ar has loft an his memory which will ever live in the esti f ihe people. The resolutions were unanimously adopted and the house socordingly adjourncd. e i A Defaulter Gives Himself U Kaxsas Crry, August 6.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Bre —A tall, dark complex- ioned, middle aged man of & very intelligent appearance occupied cell No. 3 at the central police station to-day.
