1THE OMAHA DAILY BEE TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1889 THREE GAMES IN A ROW. ‘Omaha Wins the Third Straight Vie- tory From Minneapolis. AND HAS YET TO MEET DEFEAT. Yestorday's Contest a Very Pretty One and Not All One-Sided— Other Records—More Bicyeling. Yestorday's Game. Omaha and Minneapolis met at the local park yesterday afternoon and played the last game of their first serios in the presence of about one thousand spectators. And once more Omaha won, The victory was due to one thing, and that was to the Omaha players’ superior hitting ability. They found Vinton's curves from the start, and kopt up o constant fusilude throughout the entire struggle. Strauss opened up by flying out from the rubescent Hanrahan to Pearse. Then Mr. Vinton unlinked his long form and tried to knock the ex-president’s brains out by Elmlnlmm him in the cercbellum with the all Evorybody hollored*Ouch 1" but Cleveland waen't hurt 8o bad but what he reached first all right, “ivow I'll send you in for that Crooks, a8 ho spat upon his and took his position at the plate And he came within an ace of fulfilling his words, for the first ball pitched ho caught full on the proboscis and sent whizzing way out in deep center for w couple of bags, Cleveland, of course, reaching third. The next man to face the box was Cooney. He's little, but oh my Vinton gave bim « good ball, but instead of smashing it, he only jabbed a large hole m the circumambient atmosphere. The Minnesota twirler grinned at him sardonically. That made Cooney mad, and the next ball Vinton cut loose, the little man with the big pat caught it just right, aud it weat sailing way out agaiust the righo field fence for threo bases. Cleveland and Crooks walked home to- gether, arm in arm, Then the people in the grand stand opened their faces in one long, prodigious howl, Walsh was the next bavter up. He hit the ball savagely on a line for Hengle, and Hengle gathered it in with neatness and dispateh, But ho didn't stop here, but whirling with the quickness of thought—as Victor Hugo has it—he hurled the globu lated pigskin to old Joe Miller, and caught Mr. Cooney off his base, thereby effecting a very recherche double play. Two runs in, und the people said the same old puddin’. In their half the visitor: that they touched Daddy C nice singles, fuiled to got o plate. The second was unproductive for either side, but in the third there was some pretty work, Cooney succceded in reaching firston an exquisite bunt, and then after the Gallic count had struck out, President Cleveland again appeared within the arena, There were symptoms of life's fluid trickling about in his usual dove-like visual organs, and everyone felt that he was about to call Mr, Vinton dowu for smashing in his occiput in the previous inning. The pitcher was evidently inclined to the same belief, and he bent his lissome form for amighty effort, Old Buffalo, however, and he lifted his tree i Whiz! came the sphere! Then there wus a ringing crack like the report of a shotgun, and a thin, bluish streak was descried glancing athwart the emerald field over Daly’s head, and befo he batter could make up his mind that it was the ball, Elmer landed, pufing like a porpoise, on third, while Coonoy scooted home. Crooks was quickly on hand, ceremony, lined out'a beaut, the President walked in, tapped the plate with his toe and went and sat down. Of course, this was all very exhilirating, and some people cheered 50 much thut thoy got very hoarse. That made four runs. Tor the Minnies, Turner was casily thrown oueat first, but Daly got a nice one and hit it for a couple of sacks. Big West struck out, but Hunrahan corked out a fino three- bagger and sent Daly home with an earncd run, In the fourth cvery blessed one of the white logs got a crack at Vinton, and ou three bases on balls, a three-bagger each by Cooney and Messitt and a two-bagger by Daddy Clarke, Nagle and Messitt, Clarke, Strauss and Crooks crossed the plate. @ The runs were now piling up like a Hima- layan peak, and the one thousand spectators went wild with joy. In their half, Captain Hengle hiv outa savage two-sacker, went to third on a wide Ppiteh, and scored on Pearse's out. Aud that was all the Minaies could do, and nobody cared a — continental, But there was 1o stobping the Omahogs for they came right back as chipper an sassy us ever, and on hits by Nugle and Strauss, a missed third strike and an error by Daly, added wwo more tallics to their score. For the sang Mr. Mo paws ithstanding 1p for two man across the was watching him, nacingly. and, sans to right and Minnies ‘Purner by hitting safe. Daly drove him home on & three-bagger, then West was speedily disposed of, and then Daiy crossed the plate on a wild'pitch, Hanrahan was given a life by Walsh’s error, but was stortly after doubled up nicely with Miller, by askillfully handled ball by Clarke, Crooks and Messitt, Omaha was Chicagoed in the sixth, That was sud. ‘Then the Minnies secured guother run, Canavan muffed Pearse’'s high fly, he was forced to second by Dugdale’s base on balls, and scored on Turier's hit. The seventh y two singles and double for Owmaha, and yet they ouly suc- ceeded in getting o single man home, 'he Mipnies made one also. That was ut for tat. Owmaha drew blanks in both the eighti and minth, and iv looked just as if they did it on purpose. Hengle's men, too, went out without profit m the eighth, but in the ninth, on a base on balls and a two-bagger, they wot thewr sev enth and last run. And 80 the fair dream faded.

AMUSEMENTS, Dockstader’s minstrels opened at the Boyd, last night, to an audience of Omaha's very best citizens that filled the house. Staid, old bankers, solid merchants, sleek looking law- yers, plug-hatted doctors and the swell, young club men, with their wives, daughters and sweothearts, were there in such force that the event reminded ono strongly of a night at the opera, rathor than a minstrel show. Butv Dockstader boasts of the refine- ment and polish of his entertainment, and the peoplo have come to understand that he does not disappoint thew. Every scat was filled in the theater, last night, and roars of laughter and applauso greeted y story, every joke and specialty givon, pal actors aro picked artists, and their work as it should be doune. How- ever, special reference to John A. McWade. the onearmed singer, is particularly de- served, for the reason that such a voice ns his among the black-face professional is rurely heard, Six years ago ho made quito a reputation in ra with the Chicago 0 Ideal Opera comn- panies, which traveled through the west. His solo, “Pictures of Home,” was the musical gem of last night's performance. In his topical songs and wmodern satirizations on current events, Lew Dockstader simply kept his auditors convulsed with laughter, The famous Luke Schooleraft, Harry Max- well and George Marion, the other end men, are recoguized star A ncater, cleaner or wore artistic first part, which, by the way. made the crowning feature of the entertain- ment, has never been seen.

Morton’s Home Honors Arbor Day-— A Mysterious Find at Pender—A Farmer's Wife Suicides— Other State ltems. A Pender Mystery, Prxper, Nob., Aprii 22.—[Special to Tur Bre.|~While some gypsies were fishing along tho banks of the Logan river near town yesterday, they found a green morocco home-made pocketbook, containing several lotters and other papers, among which were atax receipt from J. L. Buckman, treasurer of Mitchell county, Kansas, dated at Beloit City, December 21, 1 also a draft for 85, drawn on William Ludwig & Co, by Jacob Dold .& Son, of Kansas O ll\‘ od at Beloit, Kan.,, November ¢ 1887, These circumstances, v(v\uvlml with the fact that County Commissioner Graves found a pair of overalls and panta- loons about one week ago near the same place where those papers were found yester- day, has created the belis that the owner is now buried beneath the waters of the Logan. Several of Pender’s peoplo searched the river yestorday afternoon for a couple of miles or 80, but did not succeed in Hmlhv;] the bady. Among other letters were founc cral from a lady, who signed her name Margaret Murgent,” These were very af- foctionate, but the latest one, dated the Sth of March last, contained the following dis- heartening itelligon My Dear Willlam has rented our farm, and we intend to start Germany within a few days. I did not ant to go, but, of course, can not disobey mother’s wishes. Good-by MARGARET MURGENT.” Soveral weeks ago a young man_appeared in this town, with one arm in a sling. He seemed despondent, and although he seemned to have some means, he stated to different parties that he wished he had broken his neck instead of his arm, and said he had a notion to wind up his earthly career. It is belieyed here that the papers and clothes found belong to this young man, and that he made good his threats by choosiug a watery grave in the Logan. A Farmer's Wifo Suicides. FreyoxT, Neb., April 22.—|Special to Tie Brg.|—Mrs. Frahm, wife of Hans Frahm, a tarmer and truck raiser living in Saunders county, five miles southeast of Fremont, committed suicide by poisoning yesterday morning. Mr. Frahm was moving from his old residence to o new one about two miles from Fremont, and he transferred a large portion of his effects to his new place Satur. day evening. Mrs. Frahm and her ten-year- old daughter remained at the old place over night to protect what property was left there and to do the milking on Sunday morning. In the morning the daughter went toa neigh- bor’s, and while absent Frahm arrived from the wew place. One of the first sights which greeted him was Lis wife lymg dead in the front yard close to the door. She had been sitting in a rocking chair in frontof the house and had fallen forward to the ground upon her face, tipping the chair over. Coroner Stone, of Mead, was summoned and an in- quest was held at an early hour this morn- ing, the jury bringing in a verdict of suicide by poisoning. Mrs. Frahm was about forty- five years old, Bosides her husband, she leaves three children. Mr. aud Mrs. Frahm have never lived together in the peace and harmony that should prevail between hus- band and wife and the strong presumptioa is that the woman was led to kill herseif on ac- count of their domestic troubles. Struck For Ten Hours, Neb., April 22, [Special Telegram to Tuk Bee.]—On last Saturday night twen- ty-two of the men employed by the Crete nurseries signad an agreement to strike un- less the hours were cut down to ten per day. Heretofore eleven hours have been a day’s work, Mr. Stephens, the superintendent, refused to entertain ' the proposition or to argue the matter at all. Sixtoen men went out, and the rest returned.

The monstrous tower designed by En- gineer Eiffel for the Paris exposition has three stories or divisions, says the Vossiche Zeitung. The first story is sixty metres high (a metre is equal to thirty-nine inches) and rests on four arches which join the four foundation columns that carey upon them the en- tire weight of the huge tower. The tower has four distinet sections. Each wing is provided with a refresh- ment saloon that may be reached by means of winding stair s under the foundation piers. Notwi nstanding the center of the space has been set apart for the elevator thero still remains 4,200 square mevres of floor room for the nc- commodation of visitors who may desirve to promenade and enjoy a view of the city from that height. The apartments are very roomy. precautions have been taken to insure the visitors against all possibility of ac: cident, An iron railing about four fect high, with an arched roof to exclude the in- tense rays of the sun, surrounds the e: treme edgo of the platform, as it may be called, which has been reserved as a pr omenade by those who desire to walk about. The requirements for the com- fort of the inner man, too, have not been forgotten. Kitehens, storerooms, ice chests and the like have been fitted up in the most handy manner imagin- abie, so there is little occasion to fear that the supply of stimulating refresh- ment will give out, even in the days when such lodgings in the hotels and private houses will not be obtainable for love or money. Fach one of the four cafes is provided with a cellar capable of storing 200 tons of wine. Everything about the structure is ab- solutely fireproof, for iron is tho only material that has been used in its con- struction. Two thousand persons per hour can end and descend its stair- cases leading to the platform, and 4,000 can find seats to rest upon in the cafes at one time. The second story, which is sixty metres above the’ first one, is also reached by four staircases built inside of the supporting columns, waich mako a sharp inward curve, leaving but 1,400 square metres of surface for the plat- form and promeriade. THere, too, in the commodious and handsomely decorated cafe the thirsty and tived sight-scer may find something more potent than water to recuperate his strength, story is ninety-one metres above the tip of ithe Notre Dame steeple and igher than the wower of the | of ocndero, on the other de of the river, and, as widy easily be imagined, the view of the surrounding country to be had from sdelvan altitude is almost inde ibable. I'rom here on the col- umns of the tower fall in towards each other until they ascend n d nce of 275 metres above the ground, where the third and last story is situated. Only one s o leads to the third story, which is for the exclusive use of the persons employed in the tower, and all visitors are expected to use the ele- vators, two in number, to reach that point.” The platform is eighteen metres square, still large enough to ercct thereon a comfortably sized dwelling. The view here is simply superb. The story is_equipped with reflecting mir vors and o large supply of f for those who wish to use th been intimated that the ordir can discern objects seventy miles aw The tower terminates in what known as the lantern, twenty-five metres above the third section, this place has been set aside for the use of the scientists for making observa- tions.

The venerable historian, George Ban- eroft, owing to his declining mental faculties, has desisted from alt attempts at further literary work, says a Wash- ington letter to the Pittsburg Commer- cinl, During the past few he has had in contemplation the writing of a history of the IPolk administration, of which he was the first secrets of the nayy and_subsequently filled with great honor to himself and the president the post of minister to Great Brituin, The researches necessary to a presentation of the acts of that ‘administration had been complated and ali the naterials were in his hands, but the mental change soon gave force to the fact that he must regard his literary life at an end. Conversing with his friends he admits that he had not the will to lead to ambition or inter- est in further literary enterprises. It evident from the conversations of Mr, Bancroft that he has folt the approach of that weakening of his mental facul- ties for the past fow, years, and in view of this fact he has given much of his to a careful revisiow of all his publica- tions of a permanet historic character, and has had all' ebpyrights renewed, which will give t8 'his declining day and subsequently his heirs the reward of literary labors forsome yenrs to come. The case of Mr, Baucroft seems to be a very peculiar one. s The suspension of his‘mental faculties are not pormanent. Among the favorite recreations during these days is the énjoyment of a game of whist, on which ocassions his memory scems to be asagtive as ever, as he plays the game with all his natural vxgnr and interest.

The Genus Bum, the Colored Gentle- man and His Commuy ation, and the Other Callprs for Episties From the World Over. The Omaha Sunday Delivery. It is only foran hour at noon that the general delive windows at the post- office are opened on Suanday, and it only during that hour upon the first day of the woek that the lower ten thou- sand whose emaciated purses forbid the luxury of & lock-box, can get their mail. As a consequgnce, the crowd that is gathered there when the windows are thrown open is as heretogencous a m of humanity as may be found anywher Its members are drawn nearly entirely from the ‘“‘common herd,” although there are exceptional cases when peo- ple filling a more pretentious part in the casto of life can bo seon standing apart from the rest, looking upon their less fortunate fellows with a Phariseei- cal gaze It is not an orderly orowd. Men and women, young boys and girls jostle and elbow each other in a desire to get mnear the windows in order to be among the first to receive attention from the clerk when the apertures shall be opened. Chivalry is unknown to this crowd and the weaker, including the women, soon find themselves in the rear. As early as 11 o'clock many persons are aiready gathered in the lobby, wait- ing stolidly for theOwindows to te opened. Leaning lazily against the walls meanwhile, or else amusing them selves by gazing through the window at the passers by. Tlm crowd swell and grows until, at noon, it number two or three huxulrml people. The windows are finally opened wi a bang, and immediately therve is crush from the rear, and those n the windows feel themselves jammed against the partitions, Two young ladies stand behind the delivery wait- ing to serve the motiey erowd. They rest to look ant, but their only “This hour, at bugbear to them, to during all with dread. A ma- jority of those who await their turn before the windows are not much given to courtesy, and if the de- sired and long-expected letter is not forthcoming. they are very liable to un- bottle the vials of their wrath and pour the contents upon the devoted heads of the clerks. Out of curiosity, a roynrtur walked down to the postoffice last Sunday at aoon and took & position near the do! where he could see and h what transpired and still escape the jostling of the crowd of impatient peo- ple. Finding it a physical impossibility to watch both windows, he devoted his attention entirely to the one nearest him: QThe first person to demand tho atten- tion of the clerk was a buxom Irish matron, whose two hundrved pounds of solid aveirdupoi had been solidly 1\ nted directly in front of the window a half hour or more before, and bad proven as unassailable as the rocks of Gibraltar and successf:illy resisted the efforts of the erowl to send their possessor to a less advantageous position. “An’shure, 1 would loike to know if ye have ony letthers here for Misthress Mary Mc The cl letters, and noon, is looked the week a package of an hastily over them. one to-day,”she siid, as she placed the packuge bick in its proper place.
