The Omahas and the McKelveys played their second game of the season at the ball park yesterday afternoon in the presence of a thousand spectators, The game, while a decided improvement over last Sunday, was a snap for the professionals, although for a time it looked as if a close score might be the result. Salisbury pitched the first in- ing for the MoKolveys, but owing to a sore arm gave way vo young Bugene Noville, who was quite effective for the balance of the game, notwithstanding he was hit for six singles and & home run. Of the Omahas Jack Crooks took the laurels, as the sc; wiil indicate, although Cleveland, Strau Nagle and Messett put up some stift work.

A daylight burglar tried to enter®the saloon on Eleventh and Harney streets yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. There is a hall entrance to the place on Harney street, and the burglar entered the hall, bolted the door, and proceeded to cut through a wooden partition which would have given him access to the saloon. The proprietor's wife, who was up stairs atthe time, heard the noise that the man was making at his burgling work, and went down to see what it was, She saw bim cutting at the partition and ked him what he was trywg to do. The appearance of the woman so frightened the fellow that he got away as soon as possible, The safe, which stands behind the bar at the west end, wus unlocked, and in it were 867, some checks and diamonds. ———— Noland's Record.

Bloody Hnd of a Notorious West Virginia Outlaw. HE IS SHOT IN A DOZEN PLACES, A Desperato Fight in Which One of Mis Pursucrs s Fatally and Another Seriously Wounded. Moran's Fight For Lifo. Prersnune, Pa,, April 7.—Advices have been received from Bramwell, W. Va,, of the killing of Bill Moran, the outlaw who had been terrorizing Bramwell county, Virginia, for vear past. Two weeks ago he raided the railroad station at Falls Mills, and the railroad people determined to put an end to his outlawry. Detective Baldwin swore out a warrant for Moran, aud, accompanied by Detectives Wallace and Robinsoh, located him in & house {n Tazewell county, Virginia. "hey went to the house and Baldwin at once sprang into the room. Scoing & man he supposed to be Moran in bed, he called to him to surrender. Just then Moran ap- peared at the door of another room and fired two shots at Baldwin, one passing through his coat and the other striking him in the arm. By this time Wallace and Robinson were in the honse and the firing became gen- cral. Wallace went down with one shot in the mouth and two in the right arm. Baldwin caught another bullet in his wounded arm and Robinson fived two shots at the outlaw, when the pistol was knocked from his hand by a bullet, which cut off one of his fingers, A woman in_the house also fired five shots at Moran and then fainted. Moran shot all the curtridges from his two revolvers and then fell. He died in two minutes, and when examined twelve wounds were found on_bim, six being in his body. The three detectives received eight balls, Wallace is lying at the point of death, and Baldwin is in_a serious condition. Moran never spoke after the firing began, There is general satisfaction at his death. The Conference of Saints.

THE CREIGHTON GUARDS. An Improbable Rumor That the Body May Disband. Thero is said to be a possibility of the disj banding of the Edward Creiguton Guards. TRumors to this effect have been set afloat by members of that organization, who have become dissatisfied with the laws enacted by the legislature. The var- ticular law that has causea the dissatisfac- tion is that nppropriating only $21,900 to the military bodies. This amount, thoy claim, is a mere basatelle, for a_state appropriation. The soldier boys of the Creighton Guards think thev are not appreciated by the repre- sentatives of the state, consequently there is discontentment in the camp. The guards organized in December, 1857, On the second of that month the body was mustered into the service of the state by In spector General Harry Hotchkiss, given a lot of condemned - muskets and a #0 allowance for soldier clothes. At one time there were fifty-five members but now there are only about forty or forty- five. The organization did its first work in camp at Fort Sheridan at Wahoo last sum- mor. Although at the time the youngest company in the state, the boys received spe-, cial mention for general appearance, conduct and excellence of drill. Of the §560 a year which the armory costs the company ' the state donates $100. The state also. furnishes the company with its weapons and blunk cartridges. . Smythe, the captain of the company, has held that position since the organization, the greater part of which work he assumed. Ho was a milittaman of honor and standing in New York and loaned his experience to perfect an excellent body. As to the probability of disbanding a num- bor of young members of the guar were scen last night at their quarters. John Garry stated to a BEE rep- resentative that there had been dissatisfac- tion among the boys at the small appropria- tion and that there had been some indefinite talk of “breaking ranks.” An Alligator Knocks Out a Steamer The steamer Comet came down from Crescent City this morning with her bow stem broken and several planks sprung, says the Palatka (Fla.) Herald. It seems that while coming around a sharp curve in Dunn’s creek, known as Danger Point, she struck a huge alliga- tor, which is claimed by the captain to have been about eighteen feet long. The creck connects Lake Crescent with the St. Johu’s river, and is famous for its floating islands, which are composed of bonnets, water lilies and such other vegotation as grow Florida. The Comet is in the habiv of running into these floating islands without checking hor speed. }lhc captain noticed that this particular island was rather large, but paid no attention to it, for an opposition steamer was crowding him and he could not afford to check up. The boat struck the floating island with terrible force, breaking her bow. stem, asabove stated, and shattered the boat considerably. The passengers were terribly frightened, and the ladies ran about asking in pitiful tones for help, and it took several minutes for the crew to quiet those frantic passengers. An investigation was made. The creek was red with blood and the snorting in the water terrific. It turned out that the supposed island was nothing more than a huge alligator, whose back was covered over with bonnets and water lilies, resembling an island, obstructing the hide of the saurian from view. In- stunces of this kind happen quite fre- uently on the river, but it is the first l‘mc to our knowledge that a steamer was ever so badly damaged as was the Comet The Comet will be repaired to-day and resume her route to-mor- row. Ghastly Secret of the Merrimac, Private James K. Bolton, an inmate of the confederate soldiers’ home near Richmond, Va., tells a startling story of the l\ndlng in the hold of the old confederate ram Merrimac the skele- tons of two men. Bolton was a member of" Johnson battery during the war and was wounded at Brandy station. He is now almost in & dying condition. He declares that the discovery of these skeletons has preyed upon his mind lu-' years. According to Iioll.ousstmq was engaged as a wrecker in 1873, The arsml with whom he was engaged at hat time was employed in getting the old copper off the Merrimac. While engaged in this work Bolton says that at one vime he dived into the forecastle of the confederate gunboat. There he found the skeletons of two men man- acled to the floor, He supposed that they were members of the crew who wene incarcerated for the violation of some rule of the navy,and when the craft was sunk were forgotten by their comrades and weni down to watery graves, “Not Neuufl-hlc.“ Punch—Impecunious Lodger: Jem- ima, did you ask Mrs. Maggles whether she would take my I O U for this quar- ter'’s ront, as I'm rather ~Maid of all Word.

THEQUEEN'S LADY IN WAITING Paris Illustro@ The great hali is for a momont desorf#d. ‘A bréath of calm devotion seers#b“have entered there, and t& rest ow coquettish surround- ings. Above the great door with its gilt beadings, lqlmncl which Boucher evolved from ittle rose pink and a little sky blue, ;still perpetuated the minelng qrnoa 1 & chubby baby Cupid, fluttering und#r ‘the gaze of a Louis- Quinze shephgpdess. The chairs, olab- orately m-mgd. stand two and two against the wall,their pale green velvet cushions offering a coaxing invitation to the young couples'whose pretty hoads never knew a thought beyond happy love-makings. Suddenly a door opens; there is a sound of light feet on the carpet, a rip- ple of silk and pearls. It is the queen passing through the royal apartments. Two little pages lead the way, looking as wide awake as the cherubs in Wat- teau’s skies. Their hair tied in a club, with the velvety light of a touch of powder, flaps briskiy on theirshoulders. The queen walks on, looking a trifle weary; her small feet are invisible un- der the enormous hooped skirts she wears, wreathed about with trails of roses. The white feather in her hair and the fan she holds in her jeweled finger quiver a little like the wings of birds eager to take flight to an un- known home. All about her, as usual, is the perpet- ual hum of devotion and flattery, which follows her at every step. ‘Madame,” says Brissac, at her el- bow, ‘“you are more enchanting than ever to-day. See the roses on your dressare turning pale and fading; the queen of flowersis jealous of the queen of women.” “Your majesty, by right of b(rth‘ rules every ircncl\mnn as a subject,” adds d’Ayen. *‘By right of grace and beauty you rule them as slaves.” “*And the women no less,” murmurs the lady in waiting, bending with in- sinuating rveadiness to kiss the royal hand, which hangs on the full panier of the skirt. The sovereign’s youthful face lights up with a bright smile, shaded by some mysterious and inscrutable annoyance, while she shrugs her shoulders with a slightly sullen air. “Flatterers!” she says. “Tt is the fate of us luckless queens never to hear the truth. Imake no doubt that my dress is awry, or head dress too low. “I would say that your majesty never more charming,” says Briss: “but that T remember how truth com: pels me to say the same every tmm I have the happiness of seeing you.” “Ishould liké' to know what protty speeches men umth\e to make to other women.” “They find none half so pleasing,” says thelady in waiting,*“for they never meet with any woman so “adwmired as your majesty.” . s “Ah! my dean, i you could only know the whole of the thoughts that some- times come into ;my mnd. I would gladly let my head rest from bearing the weight of the,crown. Oh! to be a shepherdess on the brink of a silent river, by whose. bank white lambs should sport deckéd with rosy ribbons. Would not that be charming? Shep- herds playing with their pipes bewitch- ingly would putontheir tenderest airs to sigh at my feet. » We will play at it one day at Trianon. I will have it so. But, alas! it will _be. . no more than a brief comedy. Then I must take up the part of queen again; the part I havo to play now, at once, in the draw- ingmom whero they are waiting for me. She laughed, and glanced at the two little pages, who opened a double door, APRIL 8. 1889. into which she vanished with girlish lightness. “Ah!” sighed Brissac, gazing at the closed doors, “‘if only she were not the queen!” The two gentlemen both looked some- what blank at the sudden flight of the swoot royal bird. “On my word, gentlemen,” says the 1ady laughing af them. *“You are quite aghast beeause the queen has vanished! It was not so yesterday, We were alone; but d’Ayen told me of an adventure of which he was the hero; I had read it In‘h\rn in a book by M. Crebillon. How- over, to dod’Ayen justice, to add to my cn]m ment he borrowed some details from M. de Marivaux and his witticisms from M. de Chamfort. “‘Cruel creature,” replies d’Ayen, *‘you take an unfair advantage of your strongth. You know full well that at the mere sight of you, I lose my head.” “But how many things you have lost, poor man, not to reckon ladies’ reputa- tions. But come, do you know that I have evory reason to bo seriously an- gry? What, you sigh for me, my lord, and yot it scems to me that you are groatly struck by the quoen?” “And is it not every gontleman’s first duty to adore the queen?” “‘Oh!” oxclaims Brissac, ‘‘to be in love with a queen is to pine for the im- poseible. It is worshipping a cloud, a remote and inaccessible being. Is it not a great joy to feel at the bottom of one’s heatt some secret hope—hopo against hope. 1In love, happiness con- sists in hoping, not in winning. How- ever, to men like us, to love without lm]m is often a delight, and almost al- ways a novelty,” “Puppy!” “Alas!® ? says d’Ayon,*I love on queen —only a queen of grace and bmun;. And I am fast loosing all hope.” “So much the better for you, poor d’Ayen,” the lady puts in. “'So long ago as in the last century, Oronte de- clared that ever to hope was sheer de- spair? Listen to Brissac; he has no end of good ideas which will comfort you for all your woes.” And she flies like the flirt that she is, allowing d’Ayen jusi time enough to kiss her finuds. ““Your heart is flown away with her, my good fellow,” says Brissao, laying his hand on _his friend’s shoulder. “Now, for how long have you been dancing attendance on that bewitching croature?”’ i:For nearly a year.” “*‘And your hs are as vain to her indifference?” “And if they were would be the same.” “Well, well; do not be fractious. I have heard other men’s confidences be- fore, S All 1 have to say, my leman, is only to persuade to give up cherishing a flame wlnch must ere long consume you with- outany return. There is in this world but one woman perhaps who can be faithful to true love, and it is she and no other to whom yon are paying court?” “True love, do you say? What, at court even, where slander is the favor- ite theme, no one has ever breathed a word of scandal about that wheedler of hearts, who is always ready to encour- age adorers, but will never reward them. What mysterious coguettishness can it be that induces her thus to trifle with the tender passion that her beauty inspires? She smiles on those who bring Venus’ bark to her feet, but she will not step into it.” “T tell you that she is faithful; is not that ample reason for being artful?’” My good fellow, you talk in riddles. T know not what you are driving at but you must know that I will allow no man to cast base insinuations wat a woman to whom my services are de- voted.” ‘Do not be so susceptible. I only wish to do you a service and to tell fou a little tale. 1t will be time enough then to owe me a grudge for either or incense not, my answer poth. The lady of your dreams is a g‘rouk of nntur-a; she is faithful to her L hor husband, who died ten years ago!

All the finest gentlemen of the court, the most highly gifted, and the greatost adepts in the difficult art of fasci- nation, hung about this ropellant beauty all in vain. Aud yet she was sick at heart. Her tender spirit re- belled against parental solicitude. ~At this juncture fate sent her the very thing she was pining for. while she her- solf hardly kuew why she should sigh during the lonely evenings in her joy- less home.” “Your tale Iw;zms like a romance by Crebillion fils.’ “And ends sotoo. [Atthat time it was the fashion to adopt children. There was not a fine lady in F'rance who did not regard it as a point of honor to make some orphan happy: he must be poor, and if possivle illegitimate. 1t is out of fashion now. Curly dogs have come in instead.] ~ One day the young duchess saw at the gato of her hotel a girl begging, a young thing of about 15, as protty as Cupid, and gazing at her with uiring eyes. Of course she took her in at once and cherished her with all the fond care which women who have no children commonly lavish on their Persian cats. The young favorite was ere long the rule, of the household. One day the duchess being ailing, seat for the doctor, who said with a smile: ‘Your (Hsm‘der, madame, will in due time result in the arrival of another subject to his majosty.’ In short, it turns out that the beggar maid was the younger son of a noble house who employed this in- genius device to win the favors of the lady of his dreams. It is now five years since the daring page and the duchess were privately marriod.
