Sroux CiTy, Ja., May B80.—|Special Tele- gram to Tuk Bre.]—The White Socks smote the Corn Huskers hip and thigh in to-day’s game. Threo thousand people flocked to the grounds to see the Corn Huskers wreak retribution for yesterday's deteat, but they could only sigh for two mortal hours, while the visitors rubbed double dyed humilation into the losers. Up to the seventh inning it ‘was not a contest on the part of the latter, so much to win the game as to escape being shut ont; and it was a narrow escape. They ocould mot penctrate Clarke's mysteries, and the few hits they made were puny snd futile. Hardly anybody beyond the infleld had anything to do, and most of the locals were easily cut off at first base. For six innings not a single one got as far as second base. The sole run was soored in the seventh inning. After Glenn had been cnt off at first, Powell got first on balls and took third on Qenins' hit to right fleld. «Genins made a bold run forsecond base, and succeeded in 80 intoresting Andrews and Crooks that Powell got home. Theu Brosnan flew out % right fleld, B¢ Sar as the Corn Huskers are concerned as to the rest of the game, it is one murder- ous story of weak taps neatly flelaed to first base, only varied by strike outs. On the other hand, the visitors plaved even a more vigorous game than yesterday, slugging the bail all over the flold for bast hits. Crooks distinguished himself by muking two clean home runs, for which he rececived the hearty plandits of the crowd. They were aided by the errors and awkward work of the locals. But they earned the game hon- estly, and clearly overpowered their oppo- Ko 402 Ao7 800 B340 260 nents. In the first inning Messitt got his base on Dalls, stole second, and went on to third on Hellman’s wild throw over second. He scored on Cleveland's hit to Brosnan, who retired the batter at first. Strauss secured his base on a fly to Glenn, which was difi- cult to fleld. He stole second. Crooks got 1o first, and Strauss went to third and tallied on Cooney's two-bagger to center field. In the next innings the visitors, by hard hitting, knocked out o run in each, but when it came to the fifth &nmeg it looked as if they would keep on . georing till durk. Crooks opened with a swipe to right field for two bags. Cooney then took tirst buse on Bradley’s fumble, ond swle second. Walsh was cut off at first, but Andrews’ safe hit scored Crooks and Cooney. €anavan got first on Cline’s redolent fum- ble. Andrews scored on Clarke's hard hit to conter fleld, and Messitt’s two-base hit brought Canavan home, and Clarke and Mes- sitt scored on Cleveland’s safe hit. - Just when it scemed the slaughter woula " mever stop, a double play retired Cleveland and Strauss. The latter made & sharp hit, “ which Cliue threw 1o second, then passed to time to catch the batter. Thisdouble feature of was_tho_ only relievin uskers. The the work of "the Corn run in the sixth innlr? was ‘Crooks’ home run oo & magnificent effort, which lifted the ‘bell far beyona tre fence. The locals are badly crippled by Burke's dllness, and as he can not go into the fleld for * atleast a week, they stand little show at St. Paul. It looks now as if they would go down 1o fourth place before they get home. Of +* the total of twenty bases on hits made by the visitors, Crooks made twelve. 8IOUX OITY, AB, R.

Tur BEk of yesterday printed a telegram dated Columbus, O., stating that Mrs. Beechier, the mother of Libbie Beechler, had made several unsuccessful attempts at sui- cide the night previous, on account of family troubles. A veporter met (leneral Cowin last night and asked that gentleman if he knew or had heard anything about the case. “Nothing whetever,” replied the attor- ney, who was instrumental in securing the young woman's acquittal. *I know nothing about it; in fact, have heard nothing about Mrs. King, except that I have noticed by the Cleveland papers that she has been in that city since she left Owaha.” HIS PASSENGER WAS ALIVE, 014 John Stevens Objected to Riding in a Coflin, A decided sensation was created at Nanticoke this morning, says & Wilkes- barre special to the St. Louis Democrat. On Sunday John Stevens, an old man employed as an ocutside laborer at the mines, was found dead in his bed, at least that wus the supposition. Preper- ations were made for his funeral. A grave was procured at the poor farm, and this morning Stevens' body was takon there in u_wagon. In u lonely dart of the read the driver heard a noige in the box, It grew louder and louder. The driver came alarmed, jumped from his seat and went to the nearest house. The inmates were brought to the scene. The noise con- tinued. The box was then broken open, und to the surprise of all, Stevens elevated himself, {!e was very weak. The box was very roughly constructed; otherwise the unfortuaate man would have been smothered., He was taken out of his coffin und taken to the resi- dence of John Cashen, when he soon revived, He ate an egg and drank some coffec. He was totally ignorant of what hud taken place, and says all he can remembor is that he drank’ whisky in a saloon Saturdsy afternoon. e Lopers in New York, Accordiug to the Herald there are two lepers under treatment in New York.

AIMS OF THE ORGANIZATION. "o They Are Fully Set Forth By Su- preme Justioe Somerby, Toe gethor With the Results scomplishe! An Intérésting Meoting. There was a tonsing meeting, last night, under the auspices of the Iron Hall at the Grand opera house, which had the beuveticial offect of more satisfactorily bringing to the attention of the people the objects of this association and the estimable gentlemen who represent it. Mayor Broatch was introduced. He wel- comed the visitors in a neat speech, in which he spoke of the pleasure it afforded him to meet the delegates, the favorable impression they had made upon him, and the zood effect their visit wou! have upon the city whea they should return to their homes and tell of the prosperity of Omaha, The members of the order were seated on the stage, and liberally applauded the sentiment and points of the addre: Mr. Edwin J. Walker, of Philadelphia, was introduced by the chairman, James H. Kckersly, and delivered a felicitous reply. Hereturnod thanks for the kindly greeting in behalf of the 50,000 members of the Iron Hail throughout the country. They had seen the beauties of Omaha, and had studied the great advantages and felt that Omahans ought indeed to be proud of their sity. It had impressed them very favorably, and when they returned to their homes, if they sow young men who desired to begin life, they would tell tbem to pack up and come to Omaha. The Musical Union orchestra played, in an excellent manuer, a very choico se- lection. W. R. Goodall was then introduced, and recited “Over the Hills From the Poor House,” with dramatic sympathy and in- tensity, and was warmly appreciated. J. J. Whipple, ex-mayor of Brocton, Mass., spoke of the struggles in Massachusetts of fraternal beneficiary associutions, as re- vealed to him while a member of the Massa- chusetts logislature, and serving as secre- tary of a committed appointed by that body to ‘investigate insurance companies on the assessment plan. The antagonism of the old line insurance companies, whose fleld had been invaded, was satisfactorily ex- plained. Continuing, the gentleman said: “The question has been asked in my hear- ing, ‘Why did the Iron Hall come to Omaha to hold its au%rnma sitting?’ and ‘What is the Iron Hall!' First, let me tell you that the fame of your prosperity and growth extends from easi to west aud from north to south, and that we in the east were curious to ob- serve for ourselves the confirmation of all the stories of marvelous growth having for a tbeme the city of Omuha, the gateway be- tween the east and the west. The last question T will answér by saying that the Iron Hall is a fraternal beneficiary associa- tion which represents to-day 50,000 people. The gentleman also stated that there were in the east a great many institutions doing an insurance business on the assessment vlan, and asked, his hearers not to confound ‘with every company aydvertising itself as an ussessment insurance company the Iron Hall, as that body. was fraternal in make-up, Hou. M. D. Chyrch, of Maasachusetts, was then introduced, and spoke as follows: “I must say that the remarks of the mayor of this handsome city embody tho best senti- ment I have listened, to. In almost every sentence he impa¥ted information to me that was highly gratifying, He said that we had dropped. from Ui clouds, as it were, into your city, and also informed you that we had paid our way. I don't know but that the ap- pearance of so many of us in white hats may have aroused & nuspil§on in Omaha that we were White Caps,'und for that reason I as- sure you that,the lotents and purposes of that orgatization are foreign to the province of the' Iron Hall. o “We ‘came here to-nicht as mlgrims, nearly all of us. Most of us are a long way from home, and our homos are as dear to us 28 ure your own snug homestends. But that hardship is lost sight of when we consider that we are here representing the order of the Iron Hall in its own behalf, to present to you the proposition that this organization holds out to the people of the United States. ‘As I cast my eye over this audience I per- reive thut I am not addressing an auaience of millionaires. 1 see men who are grapoling with the every-day battle life, and earning their bread as the bible said EhL‘Y should, by the sweat of their brow, men with muscle and with brain dealing with the practical questions of life. “To you I say that our order protects you and your little ones, Asaistance is not given you only in the event of your being buried, and for the easement of those left behind you, but the protection of the Iron Hall, the benefits of which inure to.you and which you may enjoy and share with your family as it grows up uround you, is salvation for the living. ‘““I'ne order of the Iron Hall, as has been asserted by legislature after legislature, is a fraternal benefit association, the members of which are associated together for mutual benefit. Its principles will insire you the enjoyment of the principles of mutval pro- tection while you are yet on earth, and. in this respect our order differs from all other mutual associations existing. “Up to 1851 this question of the payment of benefits of this character to the living had not been answered satisfactorily, and it was left to the founder of this beneticent organi- zation, Mr, Somerby, to determine that the aid such as we propose, could be given the living as well as the dead. “The question had often been mooted, but it was reserved to the Iron Hall, and the successful conduct ot eight years of its ac- tivity to solve the great problem. ‘The method of securing this desirable end I will leave to the masterly exposition of Mr. Somerby. **We came to your beautiful city to hold our fourth biennial session of the supreme sitting in order that you might see the rep- resentative body of the order and judge from the utterasces of our founder, and the racords which will substantiate him, of the confidence that should rightfully be con- ceded to the Iron Hall ‘1 hope that the effect of our move will be salutary, and that instead of one branch of our organization appearing in your midst, twenty-one will demonstrate the desirability and permaznence of Iron Hall in this section of the country. ““T commend to you a careful consideration of our aims, feellng assured that you will re- ard them as practical, I wisn especially to §irect the attention of younis mon to the op: rtunity we offer i the way of a profitable nvestwent. He,' tvho. in the prime of his nis usefulness, noglects to lay his hands on the good fortune that is his in the Iron Hall, is @ careless man, #or at should be his study how best to preserve his productive force. 1 commend all to s6¢k' Ahe protection of the Iron Hall. Mr, Goodall reolted the ‘‘Engineer's ly?wry," with great ef- Story,” and “The' t. & NunremeJnnLiw‘l‘\ P, Somierby, of Penn- sylvania, was thetlintroduced and addressed the audience. My Somerby is an entertain- ing speaker, and 8@cveéded in keeping his audience thoroughly amused and interested. After dwelling at som#length on the institu- tion of the order and the objections with which it had been Met, he proceeded to ex- plain its workings #ud‘8uccess. ‘‘We promise,’ ;1 said, 1 substance, “in the order 'of’ ‘the ' Iron Hall to pay 35 a wéeW’mm case of sick- ness, $500 in case of total dissbility, or #1,000 at the end of seven years in the brotherhood, and in the sisterbood from $15 a week, §300'in case_of total disability. or 80600 at the end of séven years, less what may be arawn nulgy reason of sickness, ac- cident, or death. - Now, how much will this cost in making the ' original calculation, bringing together the factor of lapses, the factor of accumulation by investment of reserve, the factor of inoreasing mem- bership in a proper raMlo euch year, one after another, in order to keep the columns in perfect line, adding the results of men who purchased their certificates by reason of sick benefits for sheet duration, and then leave; taking theso five factors and group- ing them together on the law of average, the Iron Hall can meet every obligation without over taxation, and, 1 honestly believe for all time to come, will be a0l¢ to pay its stuble wem| for au luvestwent of $350 in any soven years £1,000. You will say to yourself, 1 would like to have my check lnorf at the bank for §25 a woek, [ would like to have some one give me £300 in case of total disa- bility, and I would like to be paid #1,000 at the end of overy soven years, for I have been working, some say, forty years, and have not got $1,000 yet, and some have been working, man and wife together, doing all they could, and _saving everything pos sible, and at the end of twonty- five or thirty years they give up in despair, and others are looking forward, hoping that there may be some better fortune in the future, and say, oh! if it is possible through this systom that I can got $1,000, T want it. And I want to you how' I be- lieve you can do it. £33 investod in the resorve and 8300 to purchase the protection, will give me the protection! Yes. 210 by 1adies will give them £300; that will give you your protection. Under the presont circum- stances we have everything to encourage us to bolieve that it will come within thoso bounds. All you want is to be assured of it, and the work is accomplished. Now then, lot mo speak of co-operation. It does not mean myselt, it means us. Our money, not mine. Undertaking, a8 the insurance men do, to figare out a $1,000,000 liability for a thousand men, and each man paying in 350, we are $050 short. That is the only arith- metic they have got, that is whero they have cowe, that is where thoy stagzor and say, You should hgve nothing to do with that kind of busincss. “Let each man of the order introduce four men, one a year apari, and the product of tnose four men. together with his own in- vestment, will produce all the protection the Iron Hall guarantees. Now, then, lot us.seo if that will work out: When my friends hore were one yearold there were 1,500 of them; when the next year closed we had in- troduced during that year into the order 2,000 more, 'The third year 2,000 more were added. Well, then, when the first men were soven years old, the next wero six, aud the nexc wera five. ' They were all paying at tho same time, all according to the same condi- tions, all the monoy was used to mact the l)relenl liability just as it should occur, not looking to see whether it was the dollar this man paid or that. Co-operation bringing it all together, making it all one purso for all, and to every one the mau who first needs it by reason of sickness, or who first becomes seven years old, and to these men the entire fortune belongs, if necessary, to redecm any pledge. “But, suppose you do not get your four men for one! We must have them; it 1s a ground-hog case, aud we have got them, Just muitiply, if you please, 45,000 in seven years, and the first year 1,800, Have we got. four menbers! One thousand eight hun- dred, if they all paid assessment at the same time what would they vay! Seventy odd thousand dollars. Then, when that 18 ex- hausted we just put our hand down into the pockets of 47,000 for more, and so on.

Iam a young man yet, but I don’t ex- Dpect to live long ensugh, lowever, to see the last man paid off in the Iron Hall. But, sup- pose we were to pay him? I can illustrate it no better than to say I would not bo guilty of the foolishuess of looking for the last man. One man dies, another takes his place. For every death there is recorded a birth. There are as many men mataring and becommg twenty-one years of age this year us there were twenty years ago. Your bankers here are not looking for the last man. Your real estate men here are not looking for the last man, nobody bere for the last five or six years hus been looking for the last man to come here. Do you build your business on that kind of talk? Some of you would uot be 80 happy if vou thought the last purc had come to Kansas City. The paper th out with your name on it and which is re- maining unpaid on that house and lot, would stare you jn the face. If the last purchaser had come this would be & sorry day for you.” *‘We fight the battles of the Iron Hall by meeting its obligations, sumd'mg face to face with its opposers and meeting them in cash, which is a knock-down argument and one that will win every time, as you have in your strugelo.

C. Dun & Co., and as such reporter it was my duty to thor- ougnly investigate all corporations and mer- chants doing business in the city of Indian- apolis, both as rogards finaucial standing and character of the persons who manage their affairs. I have often investigated the affairs of the order of the Iron Hall, and always found them in a highly sauvisfactory conai- tion, Every facility was given me to in- spect the books and financiul workings of the order, aud in comparison with other mutual organizations, I found the expenses of conducting its busi 10 bo very low. The character of the officers among banks, bankers and the gencral public is in every particular the highest. 1 huve investigated every suit brought nfiuinsl the order, and always fcund the order was in the right when resisting such suits. 4 The suit spoken of at the beginning of this letter, I am satisfied, after thorough investi- gation, was brought througn malice. This letter is entirely unknown and unso- licited by any of the oficers or members of your order. I am a member of no order and have no ax to grind, but_think that justice should be done toall. 1 remain, gentlemen, respect- fully yours, Rouert P, DUNCAN, B Shakespearean Readluges, Hannibal A.

Russia has made great progress in de- veloping her natural resources in re- cont years, and she is by great odds the most active and the bigeest competitor America has in the world’s markets for the products of the soil. She has seomed to learn lessons from this coun- try, and to learn them quickly. She has already cut groat slices out of two of America’s export industries, and is now preparing to bite off a portion of & third. As competitors of this country, the new republics of South America, the third continent of the far east, and crude-method India, with her vas of arable land, and her masses of igno- rant, slow-lenrning laborers, are of lit- tle nccount beside that apotheosis of despotism styled Russia. The most marked dovelopment of Russin’s industries is in the product of mineral oils. She used to import mil- millions of gallons from the Unitod States yearly. About fifteen years ago her own fields began to be developed and now the annual production of Rus- sian naphtha is 4,500 million pounds, Of this 612 million pounds are exported to countries once supplied by the United States. The American trade in this commodity has not materially declined in tho face of this rapidly-rising com- petition, because the demand for oils has incrensed with the increase in pro- duction. The American ovtput and ex- ports havoe little more than held their own for cight or ten years, whilo the Russian production has grown one-third largor, and the exports one-half larger yearly. The enlargement in Russia’s trade in cereals is next to America’s in its re- markable rapidity. In twenty years her exports of grain has tripled. In fivo years her production has incronsed 50 per cent. The maunner in which American speculators were disappointed this year by the immense quantities of wheat pouring into England from Rus- sia is well known. The expectation of a large shortage in the world’s suppiy led tne Chicago speculators to advan values 50 per cont. [t was supposed that England would have to come to America for wheat and would pay what- ever was asked. But instead she found Russia ready to supply her needs with vast stores of old wheat added to her big crop of new grain, and despite th extreme height of the American prices Englishmen haye paid little more for American wheat this year than they paid last year, averaging values. This year’s experience showed very plaiuly that America’s dominion in the world’s wheat markets has come to an end. Great Britain takes the bulk of the surplus wheat of those countries which raise more than they consume. Her imports from Russia this year have been four times those of last year. She has gotlen more from Russin than from America and more from Russia than from the Indies and all other countries together. Her success in the wheat trade and the naphtha trade has encouraged Rus- sia to try other lines. She now proposes to try for o share of Awerica's vast business in meats. Her live stock in dustry has not grown a bit in twenty years. Cattle have been poorly fed and hogs neglected so that the meat is ver inferior. But the climatic conditions of South Russin are represented to be, highly favorable to theraising of swine. The government has taken hold of the matter. An appropriation for an ex- perimental slaughtering house has been made and the imperial banks have been empowered to reoder financial assist- ance to the new industry. The exper- iment is one of enormous importance to the packers of this country. ~Their ex- port_business amounts to $60,000,000 an- nually. If agood portion of this is to be delivered over to Russia, it will be in order to ask: What next? Meantime, is it not something of a ruculiur anomaly that the chief store- houses for supplying the products of the s0il to the world should be, respect- ively, the freest nation and the most despotic one on the globe? e GOLD IN THE TRANSVAAL. Back 30 karly California Days. The report of Consul Hollis on the gold fields of the Transvaal c back to the exciting times of ear] ifornia. The mining tervitory covers an aven of over 1,500 square miles, and is only the beginning of mineral discov- ery. Ricn silver bearing lodes are also found of great exient. Extensive de- posits of shale, rich in petroleum, have also been discovered. Manufacturers in the United States are handicapperd in their efforts to introduce their waves by the cost and difficulties of transpol tatioh. At present American machin- ery must be sent to England and trans- shipped to the cape line, incurring the double risk of brenkage and adding to the cost of transportation. The urgen- cy of the need of maanhinery puts ship- ments by sml out of the question. Towns und cities are springing up like mugic, and the consul believes that a great fiold is opening there, not only for mining and ore-refining machinery, but for agricuitural implements, hurd- ware, doors und sashes and **Yankee notions.” According toa writer m the Pittsburg Commercial Bulletin, the seizing of a share of this rich trade de- [D(‘Ildn in a great measure on the estab- ishment of regular and frequent steam transportation facilities.
