Omaha Wins the Opening Game of the Champlonship Season. MINNEAPOLIS CLEANLY BEATEN A Large Orowd Watches the Game and Develops Proper Enthusi« asm—Wolves ana Dogs Lie Down Together. The Initial Game. Thin-chested, hollow-eyed defeat fell to the lot of the Minneapolis team in the open- ing game of the championship season on the local grounds yesterday afternoon, like a thundor-storm upon an African camp-mect- ing. A victory was all that was necessary to complete the grandest testimonial ever paid the national game in the Gate City. s em The crowa ‘n attendance, in both quantity and quality, equalled that of any previous week-day game ever played upon tho grounds, Omaha was fairly beside herself with base ball yesterday, and nothing was talked about ‘but the opening of the championship season. The banker, doctor, lawyer and merchant dropped business for the nonce to discuss base hits and batting averages. Thoe cable car conductors, the chop-house flunkies, the boot-blacks, the newsboys, in fact, almost everybody guve everything the goby to speculate about Selee’s men's chaunces with the stocky Minneapolis team. Shortly after 1 o'clock both teams, in thin, natty, new uniforms, paraded the principal thoroughfares in barouches, headed by the Musical Unlon band. The spectable brought out the people by hundreds, and as early as2 o'clock there was an avalanche of enthusiasts Rammering at the park entrance for admis- sion, o'clock the grounds presented a very exhilirating appearance. The blue sky, warm sunshine and arting grass made a ‘background to the scene that was pictur- esque indeed, The stands were crowded, #nd the gay spring bonnets and rich cos- tumes of the hundreds of ladies p ut told of what a hold the glorious sport is getting upon the gentler sex. On either side the bleaching boards were filled with men and boys, while a cordon of buggies and carriages stretched all about the outtield. But the game, ‘Omaha came out on top with a vengeance, and, of course, everybody was happy. Sundry representatives of the Minneapolis team were also on hand, but somehow or other they became lost in the shufle. When they were not engaged in chasing three- b-{zzcrn and other curious things over the velvety outfield, they were slicing the wina into thin layers and expending their strength in delirious and impossible stabs at the warp pud woof that Daddy Clarke was weaving Roross the plate. When the game ended but #ix of the Minnies had skated around the diamond, while no iess than seventeen of the snowy-hosed lads had performed this feat. In some quarters it was reported that Daddy had a rabbit's foot in his inside pocket. In others it was said that his best girl sat m the grand stand with her rosy little countenance expanding with smiies and Yucatan, and this enabled Dad to wrap the sphere around the necks of the Minnesotans, At any rate, when the battle ceased, there were but eight base hits to the credit of Minneapolis, and its heaviest hitters were afilicted with symptoms of parasis, Joe Sprauss was the first man at the bat, and as he lined out a safe hit to left the over- joyed populace arose and made the welkin ring. Cleveland’s base on balls sent joe to second, but a moment later he was caught by Dugdale as he was trying to make third; the ex-president, however, ok second sack on the Plny. y Right here Captain Jack Crooks, he of the musical chin, made his debut. and.the first * ball cut loose by Mr. Morrison got it smash in the nose, and as it moved down the peey ing-clover, on_its way out toward Daly, oE Buffalo scored. Agnin the people shouted. On Cooney’s sacritice Crooks went round 2o third, and o moment, later gailoped dromo on Joe Walsh’s slashing smgle. Oh, my, how the glad hozannas did float on high. Ruglo flow out to_ the dapper little gontlo- man with inflammatory curls, who plays short for Minneapolis, and for the time being the jig was up. But there were two runs in, and everybody thought it was so nice. t was short work that was made of the visitors. Turner struck out, but Daly got his base on four bad balls.” It looked as if he would surely score, for a wild pitch sent him to second and o passed ball to third, However, he an- chored here, West being thrown out grandly by Cleveland to Messitt and Hanrahan by alsh, The white legs gathered in another tally in the second. Canavan smashed the ball to left for a counle of sacks, went to thira on Messitt's out, and scored on a wild throw over Mil- ler's head by Pearse. Clarke was thrown out from short to first and Strauss expired on a long fly to Turner. In their half, ‘the Minneapolis lads cor- ralled their first run. After Miller had gone out to Cooney, Kon‘fls hit safe, took second on Pearse's bit, and scored on 8 wild throw by Nagle. Dugdale and Morrison speedily retired. In tho third old Buffalo again took the in itial bag on balls, und aftor Crooks had been declared out on a foul strike, Cooney drove him bome astride a corking two-sucker. ‘Walsh then went out ou a high fly to Turner and Nagle was tossed out at first. It wus one, two, three for the visitors, in such rapid order that it fairly took their breath, In the next innmg Canavan bit a litle fungo to the pitcher and was extinquished, dbut sturdy Jack Messitt sent the sphere hissing out into left. He stole second by a daring slide and scorca on Pearse's second ‘wild throw over Miller's head, Aguin it was one, two, three for our hy- perborean guests. Cleveland was given a lift in the fifth by Miller's error, but was caught try- ing to purloin second. Crooks got his base ou balls, stole second, and scored on Cooney's second two-sacker, the little middle flelder trotting home a moment after on Nagle's hit. Canavan followed this up with his second safe drive, but no more runs re- suited. In their half, the Minnies distingvished themselves, for after Pearse and Dugdale had been disposed of, Morrison got his_base on balls and scored on Turner's magnificent bome run hit to the extreme right fieid. He :l“ tumultuously cheered. Duly went out were rst. Tn tho sixth Omaha piled up three more runs, Strauss, Crooks aud (:onm:{ scoring on 8 baso on a two bagger and a single, For the Minnies, West made a three-baser and scored on Milley's out, The seventh was unproductive, but the eighth was a Waterloo for Mr. Morrison, and for about five minutes it was smack! BIf! bang! in & way that must have made tho young twirler's head swim, After the smoke had cleared away, no less tha additional runs were to be seen ac to the Omahas, Every man went to the bat, and Cleveland, Crooks and Gooney _twice each, and every man made a hit, save Walsh and Clarke, and Cleveland got two, & fine home run over left field fence and a single. Crooks, too,-made a beautiful drive way out against_the right field fence for four sacks, and Jack Messitt did the same thing. For a moment pandemonium reigned, and the peoplo fil the worth of their money out of this liuf inning. v was three straight outs for Morton's ang in the seventh, but in the eighth and :ln they scored a single tally each, It was a great game, and no mistake. The home team put up gréat ball, and as the score fully tells the tale of the individual work, no comment is noeded here, Tho ofticial score is appended ; OMAUA, > Ld| ® T S5l cormcnnwes Bl comprsswer »| ccconmoncy 5| cheneswoo? £l ocorscauecr| ©l mgorcccock THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUi\TDAY APRIL .21, 1880—-SIXTEEN PAGES.

The wolf chase took place at the Collseum last evening, there being In the nelghbor- hood of a thousand spectators present. Pre. ceding this thero were several amateur bloycle races, and at 0 :80 the first wolf was liberated on the track. He was not a very enthusiastic wolf and went off as if he had Just finished a hard day's plowing. The hounds were promptly unleashed, but in- stead of leaping away eagerly after tho quarry, they began to look around for a soft place to lie down. Manager Ingram, how- over, infused one big flop-car with the coal shoyel, and he ran up alongside Brior Wolf, smelt him once or twice, then curied up and lay down. The other dogs by this time had been stirred up, and all at once, in full cry, broke after the denizen of thicket and copse, and in a moment_dogs, boys, wolf and tho manager were rolling around in the dust in an inextricable mass. They were finally disentangled, however, and some moro wolves and some more dogs turned loose, and for a time the excitement was of that order that lulls one to sleep. The big black wolf ran up the stairs and went and sat down by the base drummer in the band. The big German who beats the gong gave him a chew of tobacco, and the wild, wierd scene came to a close. The dogs were curled up about the track in delightful slumber, while the wolves and little boys were play- ing hide and seok among the orchestra chairs. It was a thrilling night, and will long be re- membered by every one 85 fortunate as to be present. Homing Pigeons. Edear Rothery will make the first trial flight with his cote of homing pigeons on Wednesday next.

A Cocking Main, A cocking main of no littlo magnitude tool place at a suburban resort just outside the wost city limits yesterday afternoon. Five battles were fought, and with the exception of oneall wero evenly and_hotly contested. In one of the battles one of the contestants took death 1n the pit, fighting gamely to the last. A large number of sports were bres ent. The birds were owned by Omana men. THE SPEED RING. Opening of the Spring Meeting at the Bay District Track.

Republicans of That Section, Both White and'Bratk, Congratulate Him—VYellow Fever Ieared d4a Worida. i ‘ WA!HX!GTO!MAU. Tre OMATA B, } OURTRENTI STRRRT, Wasmixaron, D. C., April 20. Senator Payno, of Ohio, announcus that he Wwill not be a candidate for re-election, as he will be eighty-two years old when his pres- ent term expires. This will make it impossi- ble for Mr. Halstead to lock horns with Sen- ator Payne, HARRISON'S SOUTHERN PO LICY. A large number of southern republicans, among them scveral well known colored men, called at tho white house to-day and congratulated President Harrison on his so- lution of the southorn problem. They told bim that s policy of appointing white men to fill offices in white districts, and recogniz- ing the colored voters as far as possible through the north, and those located in tho south by getting them positions in the execu- tive departments here, was the only true so- lution there was of the race question. The president intends to give the colored voter a full measure of recognition in the distribution of offices, but it is proposed to avoid friction in sections of the south where thero has been trouble on ac- count of colored federal officers, by putting white men in the places. In the heavy black districts of the south whera, there are com- petent and popular colored men who are - dorsed for appointment, there will be a recog- nition of the colored race. The president will also refuse to recognize that transitory clement in the south that has been holding many of the offices and which is familiarly known as the “carpet bagger.” The colored men find no cause for complaint, while all classes of white wen are loud in their praise of the new departure, REORGANIZING, Major E. G. Rathbone, the newly appointed chief inspector of tue postofiico department, intends to make a complete reorganization of the special agency division of the postal ser- vice. He had in his room at tho postoftice de- partment this afternoon almost a wagon load of applications for postoffice inspectorships, ana was rapidly going through them with a view to making recommendations for re- movals and appointments, I came into this work,” said he to your correspondent, *with- out any prejudices, and in organizing the speoial agency division I intend to sccure the very best men I can get in the country. Itis to be regretted that the appropriations for employes in this service are not more liberal so that the very best talent can be procured. The postmaster-gencral has asked the president to rescind the order which extends the cwil service over this branch of the postgitice department, so that wo can employ mgh with the solo object in view of securing the peculiar ability we need. It is very Wfortunate that auy one ever thought about examining a man under the civil service rules who wants to be a special detective, As s rule the special de- tectives are not educatéd men, that 1s, they are not up n thosgspegial branches of learn- ing which would enable them to pass a civil sorvice examinati T hope the president will throw off the bit which holds down the tho special agenc; ifi&lon of the postofiice department and pg¥mittus to employ the best men without examination. Major Rathbone was chief of the sncrig agents for the pen- sion office under Comdhissioner Dudley, and displayed such akcelent executive ability out, by Postmaster-Gien- nd gendered the position, which bo took yesterday. YELLOW FEVER THREATENED, Dr. Hamilton,...supgeon-goneral of tho marine hospital servide, thinks there will be another genegal yellow fever scourge in Florida this season, . He says thero are evi- dences of iv_already at Jacksonville and Tampa. Under the stato laws of Florid it 188 crime for a physician to hide a case of yellow fever. If the fever is reported by a physician to the state authorities as some other malady or disease, the physician 8o re- vorting is liable to be arrested aad prose- cuted on a criminal indictment. This, Dr. Hamilton says, is having the effect of induc- ing the physicians to refuse to report the fever, and it is now developing in some sec- tions without any official notification on the part of the authoritics. Under the present condition of affairs it may prevail to a very considerable extent in a section of the state without there being any official record made of it. DET IS TROUSERS. A private letter received hero to-day gives the details of a very peculiar wager on the election, which was paid this week in the village of East Aurora, N. It seems that a younw business man named Maiers had made several bets, when a Buffalo drummer named Haworth came along and wanted to bacis his opinion that Cleveland would be re-clected. Muiors said that he had posted all the money he caved w on the result, but the drummer was persistent and Maiers finally said: “I will make you a proposition. 1 will bet my trousers against yours that General = Harrison — will stea president, and further that he will carry New York. It shall bo under- stood. however, that the loser is to pay his bet whenever and wherever he may be met by the winner after the election.” “Done,” said the drummer, and the bet was recorded. Haworth, the drummer did not make his appearance in the village until this week. He went there at nigit and did not go near Maiers’ store, but closed up his business by noon the next day and was on his way to the railroad station when Maiers caught him, *Give mo my breeches,” was all he said. Haworth saw that he' would have to peel and lost no time in doing it. The blinds of the neighboring windows were hastily drawn and the drummer hastily dis- roved. He was ten minutes walk away from the nearcst clothing store, but it did not take him more than three minutes to reach it and to grab a pair of “hand-me-downs, Ho missed his train, and in order to have peace in the family, he was compelied to set up several bottles, ' The trousers aro oo big for Maiers, and will be sent to some mis- sionury soclety.

The County Commissioners Will Hire Another Architect. The board of county commissionors has, at last sat down on Architect Myers, of the new county hospital. A new architect for tho building will be appointed next Wednesday. At yesterday afternoon’s meoting of the commissioners County Attorney Mahonoy's opinion on Mr. Myers' contract with the board was read. 1t wis quite lengthy. The contract with Myers, said the county attorncy, made no provisions tor discharging the architect of the hospital, but did provide in the event of the plans a specifications bemg defec- tive or ambiguous, the' board of commis- sioners had ~ the right to employ a competent architect to supply the deficiency and charge up the cost for such to My This the board could do if the plans were in any respect defective. Whether such defect existed was a matter to be de- termined by the board. Aside, however, from any express condition in the contract with Myers, the board had the same right which other emy ers have to discharge an employe who grossly neglects the perform- ance of the duty which he has undertaken. After the reading of the opinion Mr. Au- derson moved that it be accepted and placed on file. To this Mr, O'Keeffe agreed oun the condition that he be allowed to amend the motion by having the board proceed at once to appoiut a new architect, his com- pvensation for . service be charged to Mr. Myers. Mr. Anderson accepted the amendment but wanted the appointment postponed until Wednesday. To delay the appointment, Mr. O'Keeffe thought, that the architect would have a chance to get here, but as no one cared 1f he did come, Wednesday was the day for the selection of anotlier architect. Mrs. J. J. Moore, an indigent person, was granted transportation for herself and three children to Greeley Centre, Neb, George Paul, secretary of the St.V. De Paul society made application for the family. A committee composed of W. S. Gibbs and R. C. Wood, of the Omaha Medical college, asked that the college faculty be allawed to hold clinics in the new county hospitul when completed. The matter was referred to the judiciary committee, George N. Hicks and thirty-one others pe- titioned the board for the opening of road 49 D. The peution went to the committee on roads. Several appiications for cancellation of taxes, excessive assessments and for reduc- tion of taxes were made and referred. William Preston, and others, in a petition, asked for the grading of Tenth strcet from Castellar to the south line of the city, on uccount of the inability of the city do it. The petition .was referrod to the committee on roads. Sixteen other citizens asked that Thirteenth street from Vintou to the south line of the limits, be graded. A list of names of parties having indigent relatives in the different county institutions, was read, showing their indebtedness to the county for such service. The question of collecting the debt was referred to the county attorney with instructions for an opinion, Ryan & V , contractors of the county hospitaly submitted their estimate of ma- terials and work furnished for the month of March on the institution, The amount of the estimate is $2,974. By the passuge of a resolution introduced by Mr. O'Kceffe, the druggist and preserip- tion clerk emplol ed by the county will here after be compelled the first of each month to make a report showing the workings of the county drug store. The county physi- cian was also instructed to furnish the board with a quarterly report showing an estimate of drugs necessury for the poor. In future ull appropriation sheats of tho board for the payment of county debts, will be read once only, the first time at any regu- lar meeting, und then will be placed on file for inspection until the next regular meet- ing, when it may be put upon its second and third readings and passed. CHASE DER BOND. The Charges Agai Him Called to Mind By His Avrest. The charges recently published in the Genoa correspondence of Tue Bee against Suverintendent Chase, of the Indian school at Genoa, were confirmea yesterday by his arrest, charged with defrauding the United States government. For some -days (n- spector Mallette, of the Inaian department, has been in Omaha examining the accounts which Chase had with a number of mer- chants of Lhis city while he was superintend- ent of the Genoa school, The inspector dis- covered enough to convince him that Chase has been defrauding the government, aud a accordingly 1ssued for his ar- Ho taken in charge by Deputy Allen and arraigoed before United States Commissioner Anderson. He pleaded not guilty and was placed under bonds of $2,000 to appear for the trial at the next term of the United States district court. s ‘unds For Parnell, The total receipts of the Parnell demon stration which was held at B 's opera house a few nights ago were $1,313.35, The expense of the meeting was $74.01, leaving a balance for the relief fund of §1,233.44. This amount was yesterday forwarded to Rev. Dr. O'Reilly, t urer of the Irish National Land leazue at Detroi Were Good Boys Once. 5. A. Orchard told a little story yesterday of an incident that once occurred in the little old church buildinz torn down and carted away last week, at the corner of Farnam and Sixteenth streets, id he: “Do you know that James E. Boyd erected that building over thirty years ago, and he and I wused to attend Sunday school there? We were in the bible class. In those days bnilders wore compelled to use a great deal of cotton wood timber. Joists in that structure were cotton wood, and they warped badly, 5o the only way to muake a smooth and even ceiling wias by puting the plastering _on thick i the warped places. Naturally it would be so heavy in spots that the lathes wouldu't hold it One Sunday while school was in session a large section of the plastering broke loose and dropped on our heads. T'uch a time as we had there for a fow minutes can only be imagined. Tie jime dust nearly strangled everybody to death. I didn't go to evening school again,” The Emerald m is a small canta- leup, but ,.l-nhmfi the best flavored. The gain of si the melon family is often at the expense of quality.

Wasnixarox, April 20.—The morning's mail delivered at the navy department to-day brought two lettors from Admiral Kimberly referring to the wrecking of the American fleet at Apia. The first letter was dated Apla, March 19. It mentions the assistance renderod by the natives sent by Mataafa Malactoa to the American steamer in saving public property and stores from the wrecked vesscls. The letter states that the natives risked their lives to save those of the Amerioan seamen, Two of thoe natives lost their lives whilo rendering this assistance, and Kimberly thinks somo recogmition of their services should be made, Under dato of March 21, Admiral Kimberly writes that tho Nipsic was got off the night before and s now afloat without a rudder or rudder post. Ho says that if he can save the Nipsic he will send her under Jeonvoy to Auckland to be docked and rop Kimberly suggests the sending of wrecking vessels to Samoa to save the Tronton’s heavy guns, ammunition, ete.. Ho makes montion of tho Rindnoss of Captain Kaul, of H. B, M. S, Calliope, and hopes the department will not forget him. Kimberly's official renort is very long, It gives the dotails of the disastor as related by tho Associated press correspondent in b full report from Apia, although much le fully. The following points of interest are taken from the admiral's report: Kimberly says indications of bad weather appeared dur- ing the forenoon of Friday, March 15, and at1o'clock he commenced 'preparations to meet the gale by sending down the lower , housing wopmiasts, lighting the fires, ising steam. He refers to the fact that most of the water came into the flag- ship through the hawse pipes, as related in ther Associated press report. The admiral says that all efforts to provent this failed, owing to the force of the waves driving out overything used to stop them. POLICE MATTERS.

A boy, ille treated on & farm and burning for revonge, can think of nothing that will secure 1t s0 well as curting down some trees.

Country families who worl during the winter at carving kitchen utensils, furniture, toys, ete., for sale, are closely watched, for they are given to taking the wood they use without asking or paying for it. e Fair, Fair, lower temporature, Harrow Often, Harvowing should be repeated if the lumps are not reduced, after each rain (but not when the firound is too wet) in order to get the soil fine.
