PAvs, Minn,, June 11.--[Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee.]—The last game of the St. Paul-Omaha series, witnessed by 1,000 peovle, gave promise In the first three in- nings of being a very close one, but St. Paul began to pull away in the fourth inning, and won with ridiculous case. The game was a peculiar mixture of bad and brilliant play- Ing. The Nebraska team hit Tuckerman very hard; but when men got on bases the St. Paul players settled down to hard work, and by some of the most remarkable stops and throws ever seen at Athletic park, re- tired the runners before they reached the plate, except in the third, seventh and eighth {nnings, in cach of which one man crossed the ruvber. In spito of the fact that the Apostles made half a dozen errors, they were not costly,two of the threc Omaha runs being on clean, ard hitting. Among the pretty catches were zuol Walsh, Canavan, Daily and Murphy. @ 1ast occurred in the eighth inning, when Niclkols pounded the ball almost into the cen tor fleld corner. The steaay Hibernian ran ith the sphere, and turnmg quickly, “‘“,Eh" ;:Iunl before it reached the ground.

Both Nagle and Nichols aid_excellent work, but - the visitors' flelding was at times ragged. Crooks had a peculiar sort of @ day. In the Bcore sheet he is aln;rly credited with going 0 bat four times. He did not get a safe and ‘did not have a chance to do any kind of fleld- ing.

It Was to Death, but Through No Fault of the Animal's Agitity. “I'vé geen it disputed in the papers that a wildeat or catamount, can make a leap of twenty-five feet,” said a resi- dent of Sullivan county to a New York Sun correspondent, “and T would like to mention what I saw a wildeat do once. 1 was trout fishing on one of the upper tributaries of the Beaverkill, and had clambered down into a deep ravine to get at a tempting pool at tho foot of a fall, where I was sure my casts would be rewarded by the ](il{ing of some big trout. I was not mistaken at that. I had landed four trout, the smallest one eighteen inches long, and sat down to ‘rest the pool.” Both sides of the ravine were perpendicular walls of rock, probably twenty-five feet high, The summit of the walls on the side of the creek opposite to me sloped buck gradunlly from its edge for several feet to a heavy growth of pine. **As T was sitting at the bittom of the ravine I happened to glance up to the top of the rocks opposito me, and saw a hen pheasant, accompanied by her newly-hatched brood, come out of the pines and scrateh and peck her way along the sloping open space, hunting for food for her young, which clustered closely about her. ’fl\ heasant came very close to the precipice, and it seemed to me that she was placing her brood in -a most: dangerous position, when she turned as if to walk back with them to the pines. The instant she turned something like a shadow fitted across the ravine, and half a second later I saw an enormous wildcat cling- ing to the edged of the opposite wall by his fore feet, holding the pheasant be- tween his jaws. The wildeat struggled for a moment todrag himself from the edge of the abyss to- a sure footing on the top of the rocks, but his effort was in vain, and he came crashing down the face of theé precipice, still holding tho luckless pheasant in his jaws. He fell with a splash in’the water, and lay motionless ut the edge of the pool. I supposed that the animal had been watching the pheasant from the bushes on mF of the rocks opposite where the bird had appeared: with her brood, and at his opportunity had jumped across to geize her, but had ' ‘misjudged the dis- tdance and fallen short, with the result 80 futal to him. “The whirf of the water hrought the wildeat around .in a short time to the side whore I was standing, and as 1 was bending down to examine him I saw a man with a gun scrambling down the rocks. The man soon reached my side, and 1 then learncd vhat he had shot the wildcat as the animal was flying across the chasm upen his prey. Sure enough, just at- the baso of the animal’s brain was* the hole made by the rifle ball. The huntér had been following the wildeat for some time, and h lost, track of him, but came near the edge of the ravine in time to'see him male his leap and follow him with the bullet. It was that which had stopped the animal short in the tremendous leap it had cal- culated on, or 1t would have cleared the space with safcty and doubtdess with ease, The wildcat was in reality al- most in his death throes when he struck the pheasant, which he clung to with the clutch of death, and still held in his mouth when we dragged him out of the water. We measured the width of the chasm across which the wildcat had made his death leap. The measure- ment was forty-three feet.” D SHE: DIDN'T FEAR THE BEAR. A An Oucida. Indian Woman Puts the ‘Braves *o Shame. { Richard Powless, who spent his time logeing until’ a' school could be given him, writes, says the Hampton (Va.) School Record, that "he is “trying to roll the logs of knowledge into the children’s heads as woll as he rolled the logs a few months ago into the river,” and we have no doubt he will. He also incloses an article giving an account of the brave deed of one of his neighbors, an Oneida Indian woman, whose courage scems only oqualed by her pride of race. Driving into the fields one day where her husband and others were at work, she encountered a log lying 'across” the road in such a way that she could not pass. As there was no one near to help her and the log was beyond hersl.rcngt;x 10 move, she Yrucueded to cut itin two with an axe she had in the wagon. To her surprise she found she had dis- turbed & mother bear and hor fumily of cubs. The bear, more frightened than angry, took to the woods, and the woman walked in se of the men and their fire-arms. Finding them, she conducfed her rélief party quickly back to the log to find that the bear had also returned. When all were stationed ready for action she again used her ax on the log, and the bear made her second appear- ance, this time angry and vengeful. The man who stood veady for just this emergency missed his sam, dropped his gun, and with all his other masculine companions took to his heels. Left alone Wwith the infuriated beast, with only an ax''for defense, this Indian woman coollv waited until the bear came near enough, and, letting the ax fall with all her might upou its head, killed -it with that one stroke. The same weapon upplied to three of the little * orphuns effectively prevented their ever realizing their loss, and the other she kindly adopted and carried home with her. Reaching her home she found her hushand, son and others assembled there anxiously speculating as to what could have been the result of the encounter they had failed to see ended. Standing before them, with the cub 1n her arms, she scornfully surveyed them from head to foot and exclaimed: “Cowards, you have no Tndian blood in your veins!” - - Wear and Tear of a Railroader.

Charged With Murdemn PrexpER, Neb,, June 11.-<[Special to Trz Ber.]—Pat McGrovey, a farmer residing about seven miles south of this place, has got himself badly tangled up in the webs of crime. While at Bancroft, last Saturday, Pat filled himself up on. lightning whisky, and inaugurated a general war of words upon certain peaceable, law-abiding citizens, whereupon one of the constables of the town attempted to arrest him. McGrovey seized him by the right hand and bit him. almost. sovering the thumb, The wound is now pro- nounced by the physicians ‘as fatal, blood thonlng having set in, and papers are now eing made out charging McGrovey with murder. This does not cover all his crimes. K camo to Pender, yosterday, and going to Logan Valley bank, presented four checks on_the Bancroft bank, which aggre- ated 800. Horman Freese, the cashier, gava him the money, and this morning discovered that McGrovey had no capital in the Ban- croft bank. The sheriff of this county will call on him to-day. An Appeal For Long. Nonrtit PrAtte, Neb., June 11.—|Special to Tur BEe.]—One of the attorneys for Jeft Long, who has lain in jail since April, 1886, on the charge of murder, left last evening for Lincoln, where he will try to get the release of bis ¢lient on bml, pending a new trial. Much interest is folt in this case, from the fact that the prisonor was once convicted granted a stay, given new trial by the supreme court, lndgfinally, after much delay, was tried a second time, and came very near being acquitted, the jury standing eleven to one for the prisoner. Bail was refused pnd the case set for trial at the last term of court. When the court met in May counsel for prisoner made strenuous efforts to have the caso tried, and, failing in that, to seoure the release of the prisoner on bail. - Both failed, and the case went over to July. ~™ lAldrich Committed Suicide. Hastives, Neb., June 11.—|Special Tele- gram to Tur Brr.)—Some sonsational de- velopments in the recent Aldrich ‘murder trial were made to-day. Mrs. Aldrich was acquitted in this city two weeks ago of the charge of murdering her husband: There was strong circumstantial evidence against her, but the defense set up the claim that her husband had committed suicide by drinking voisoned whisky, and put in as evidence a vhisky bottle out of which the dead man had drank a short time' before his- death. The woman was acquitted out of mere curi- osity. The whisky bottle and its contents were sent to Prof. Haynes of Rush Medical college, Chicago, for analysis. His report, received here this afternoon, shows that strychnine in unmistakable quantities had been put into the' whisky. The claim that John Aldrich committed suicide is now gen- erally accepted.

Z Is This Dr. Cronin? GreeLeY CENTER, Neb., June 11.—[Special Telegram to THe BEE.]—Public’ curiosity has been quite piqued of late over the pres- «ncoof a strange visitor at the home of a family, recently arrived from Chicago. He is a man of nearly fifty years of age, and has quite a distinguished air, but all - efforts to discover who he is or to moke his acquaint- ance have failed. Curiosity was intensitied, however, by the discovery that the stranger exhibits a very marked resemblance to the cut of Dr. Cronin published by the Chicago Times a few days ago. There is a large set- tlement here of Irish people from Chicago, and among these the stranger seems to be at home. The time of his arrival among this colony is not known, as close inquiry does not discover any one who has seen him come in on any of the trains. Lightning Couldn't Kill Him.

WO JLLFATED INNOCENTS, One Killed and the Other Deserted Unworthy Parents. BOTH AT THE OPEN DOOR. A COrazy Mother Doses an Infant With Carbolic Acid—A Waif Guarded by e Spaniel Murdered Her Ohild. About 8 6'¢lock yesterday morning, & man and woman drove in.a closed carriage to the Open Door, and asked for the matron, Mrs. Clark met them on the front porch. The man carried an infant child, ana sawd the female with him was the miother, and wanted them both cared for at the nhome. Mrs. Clark received the unfortunate creature and her offspring, and put them to bed. Tho young mother acted strangely. The man said she was crazy, and had given the baby @ dose of poison to kil it. - On making an examination, Mrs Clark discovered that the child’s mouth, checks, chin and neck, were burned black with carbolic acid which the wretchod mother had spilled trying to forco a dose down the littlo throat, She at once took the poor thing to her own room and attempted to reliove it but her efforts proved fruitless, The baby diedat 1 o'clock. Up to that time, Mrs, Clark, refused to give the names of the par- ties to the reporters. She told a Bre man, however, that the woman's brother-in-law had brought her to the Open Door from his residence where she had given birth to the child. Shortly after the latter was born, and while left alone, the mother got out of her bed and searched through three rooms for the poison to murder it with, After telling Mrs. Clark the swary substan- tually as related here, and giving hor some instructions about what to do for the woman, the man who had accompanied her went away. ? Coroner Drexel was notified and removed the body to his establishment, where an in. quest will be held at 10 o’clock to-day. He was unable to ascertan from Mrs. Clark the name of the unnatural mother, though from other sources it was learne that she was named OClara Meayers. - The brother-in-law has not yet been found out. The coronor says that there is no question that murder nas been committed, and will get at the real facts to-morrow. The woman’s sister and her husband are very anxious to have the matter smoothed over, but from present appearances it prom- ises to develop into a decidedly bad state of affairs all around. Tue girl's full name could not be learned. The sister and her husbavd told Tur Bee representative the name was Clara Myers, but there is reason to believe this was incorrect. She told Mrs. Clark her name was Lena. It s stated that the girl is a half- sister to K. A. Marsh, the butcher. The brothar-in-law is a bartender in the saloon at the corner of Saunders and Charles street. His name is William Ellersick, and he lives over the saloon in three rooms, For a short time previous to_October, of last year, he kept the hotel and restaurant, known as the New York hotel, at 7'1 North Sixteenth street. The girl Lena was employod to work around the house, and she says that one day when she wus making the bed in one of tne rooms the man who occupied the room came in, © locked - the door, threw her on the bed and accomplished her . ruin, Tmmediately -afterward he took his valise and decamped, and she has mnot seen him since. She said nothing about the matter to anyone, but_went on with her duties as usual. In October the family removed to their quarters on Saunders street, and: the girl went with them to assist her sister, who became the mother of twins, When Lena began to sulow symptoms of maternity she told her gister she wassuffering from dropsy, and as their mother had been afilicted with the same complaint, her sister thought noth- ing - of the matter: About four days before Lena was confined Mrs, Eller- sick says the girl went to Drs. Betts & Betts, on Farnam street, who told her what was the matter with her.. When she was confined Dr. E. L. Alexander attenaed her. The baby was n fino looking, healthy - child and was born Juno 5. The Ellersicks were greatly excited and, very. much afraid the affair would become known. -Every precaution was taken to pre- vent the neighbors from learning anything of the: affair.., Ellersick went to Mrs. Clark and asked her if he could bring the girl to the Open Door. He said they were cramped for room and his wife was not. able to take care of the girl. ‘I'he mother and baby were taken to the Open Door about 3 o‘clock Tuesday morning. Ellersick gave s a reason for coming at that late hour, that a hack would attract too much attention in the neighborhood of his homé earlier in the evening. Mrs. Ellersick was seen and says she doesn’t know how or when the girl got the bottle of carbolic acid with which she poi- soned the baby, as she was only left alone a few moments ubout 8 a, m. If this is the case, itputs a very strange light on the whole affair, as the bottle of acid i» said to have been found in the kitchen, which would iead to the supposition that the girl went out into the kitchen, about fifty feet,. by herself, when ' the sister was = out, poured 'the acid into some yessel, and_ad- ministered it later, or that she was assisted in the matcer by some one else, as the poison ‘was given to tho little one some time in the afteruoon.. The child must have screamed when the acid touched it, as the face and throat were horribly burned. It seems strange that the r's attention. was not attracted to the affair. The girl herself professes entire ignorance of the occurrence, saying continually that she knows notiing about it. She asked Mrs, Clark if her baby was dead before anything had. been said to her by anyone at the Open Door about the child, and did not seem zith;r surprised or sorry when told it was ead. 4 A Walf in the Dark. Somebody left an infant at the Open Door Monday might expecting it to be taken in and cared for. At half past 1 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Clark, matron of the home, and her hus- band were aroused from their slumbers by the cries of achild. For severalminutes they were unable to locate them. Mrs, Clark arose and went to the nursery, then into every room, and finally tothe door, As the door was opened a black spaniel bounded across the yard, put his front paws up against her, and whined most mournfully, She followed the unimal, and found a bundle which she carried to the building. The dog kept up such a scratohing and barking that one of the nurses finally ad- mitted him also. In the bundle was discovered a Fealthy- looking male child, apparently about six Weske old, with black hair, black 6yes, and dressed, except.as to an outside wrap, which .was old and dirty, in clean white robes. .On the band of the long underskirt, Mvrs. Clark made out the name of & promi- nent family in this city, but refuses to make it known, #I am satisfied,” she said, ‘“those bpeople know nothing about this ' affair, and have nothing whatever to do with it. Probably they are acquainted with the mother, and gave her the skirt, or it might have been stolen, ~ Anyway, I shall not expose them until an investigation has been made. I hope to find out who the parties are who have avandoned such a beautiful and bright ap- pearing chiid.” “The little fellow shows every indication of having been born under favorable. circum- stances..

Yzalco, 1n the little republic of San Salvador, is in_many respects the most remarkable voleano on earth, first, be- causo its discharges have continued so long and with such great regularity; again, because the tumult in the earth’s bowels is always to bo heard, as the rumblings and explosions are constant, being audible for a hundred miles, and sounding like the noise which Rip Van Winkle heard when ho awakenod from hissleep in the Catskills; and finally, it is the only volcano that has originated on this continent since the discovery by Columbus, says the author of *'The Cap- itals of Spanish America.” It avoso smhlonly from the plain in the spring of 1770, in midst of what had been for voarly a hundred years the profitable estate of Senor Don Balthazar Erazo, who was absent from the country at the time, and was greatly amazed vpon his return to discover' that his magnificent coffeg and &ndi;io plantation had, with- out his knowledge or consent, been ex- changed for a first-class voleano. In Decomber, 1769, the peons on the hacienda were alarmed by terrific rum- blings under the ground, constant trom- blings of the earth and frequent earth- quakes, which did not extend over the enrth as usual, but sesmed to be con- fined to that particular locality. They left the place in terror when the trem- blings and noises continued, and re- turning a week or two after, found that all the building had been shaken down, trees uprooted and large craters opened in the fields, which had been level varth before. From these craters smoke and steam issued, and occasionally flames were scen to come out of the ground. Some brave vagueros or herds- men remained near by to watch devel- opments, and February 24, 1770, they were entertained by a spectacle that no other mon have been permitted to witness; for about 10 o’clock on the morning of that day the grand up- heaval took place, and it seemed to them, as they fled in terror, that the whole universe was being turned up- side down. First there was a series of terrible explosions, which lifted the crust of the earth several hundred feet, and out of the cracks issued fames of lava and immense volumes of smoke, ~An hour or two after- wards there was another and a grander convulsion; which shook and startled the country for a hundred miles around. Rocks weighing thousands of tons were hurled into the air,and fell' several leagues distant. The surface of the earth was elevated about three thous- and feet, and the internal recesses were purged of masses of lava and blistered stone, which fell in & heap around the hole from which they issued. . These discharges continued for sev- eral days at irregular intervals, accom- panied by loud explosions and earth- quakes, which did much damage throughout thoe entire republic; the dis- turbance was perceptible in ‘Nicaragua and Honduras. - In this manner wasa volcano born, and it has proved to be o, healthful and vigorouschild. ' In less than two months from a level field rose a mountain more than four thousand feet high, and the constant discharges from the cratar which opened then have accumulated round its edges until its elevation has increased 2,000 feet more. Unfortunately the growth of the monster has not been scientiflcally observed or accurately measured, but the cone of lava and ashes, which is now 2,600 feet from the foundation of the earth upon which it .rests,is con- stantly growing by the incessant dis- charges of volcanic matter. e SEVEN DAYS IN A BURNING SHIP. A Captains Sails 2,300 Miles With His €argo on Fire, The American to-morfow will pub- lish & letter from Captain Thomas Rob- ertson of the steamer Hawkhurst to Messrs. Gustavus & Co., of this city, which gives the story of one ef the most remarkable exhibitions of . pluck, bravery and fine'seamanship on record, says a Baltimore dispatch to. the New York Sun. The feat of sailing seven days, o distance of 2,300 miles, on a burning vessel, and declining, to stop at points where facilities for putting out the fire without endangering the cargo and ship, was regarded by the emperor of Brazil as so noteworthy an achieve- ment as to warrant his conferring upon the master a medai of the first class. The Hawkhurst is a Brifish -steamor, and belongs to the packet line running between Antwerp, London and Braz Captain Robertson at one time was master of the bark Amorquill of Nicar- augua and the steamer Elstow of Lon- don. In his letter Captain Robertson says: ?'The Hawkhurst sailed from London on March 16, bound for Rio Janeiro, with a general eargo. On March 23 we were in latitude 11° north, longitude 27° west, 500 miles south of the islaud of St. Vincent, when, at 3 a. ., dense flames of smoke were observed coming out of the ventilators in No. 2 hold. We at once blocked the ventilators, made holes in the decks, poyring steam in from the main s, and wator, too. The fire seemed to have a great hold on the cargo in the lower hold, and it could not be put out. During the next four days the decks were red-hot. may mention that there wasa between deck of iron above the iive, and above this iron deck was stored 700 burrels of oil, tow, tallow, and other inflammable materiale. *T thought at the beginning of this accident that I would put b 10 St. Vincent, but on further consideration I did not reckon it prudent, as the, wind wus strong ahead, Besides, if I had gone back there were no npplluncua for outting out fives on the island, } therefore steamed on to Rio, pussing ~ Pernambuco, where they would not have entertained a burning ship coming in the harbor, My only resource had I gone to St. Vincent, Pernambuco, or Bahia would have been to fill the hold with water, and to do this L would have to ground the ship, which might have cavsed a total loss, Three days after the fire commenced the stavbourd bunkers eaught five. This arose from the great heat of the decks and hull of the ship. We put them out in twenty-four hours, The following day our port bunkers took fire but we could not exiinguish them, and they burned for seven days, On our arrlving.at Rio the wsihovities sent us their fire brigade free of charge, This brigade is as good as any in the world, Aftor two days’ work, they subdued the fire. The distance we sailed while on fire was 2,300 miles, and it took seven days to make the distance.” In recoguition of the good seaman- ship and bravery of Captain Robertson the emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro II., wrote the captain a personal letter, and ce him o medal of the first cluss, was presented to the captain by ia Vianna, home miuister of the e Died of Grief at Loss of His Vesscl.

Thero has been talk of shelving Edgerton with a judgeship on the supremo court bench; and, on the principle that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, the hon- oruble gentleman will probably’ take the jud D if it comes his way. He sorved the tefritory as chief justico by appointmont, aud gave gendral satisfaction, In the Black Hills, a determined and des- perate fight is being mado agamnst Judgo Moody, and as all the other aspirants will league against Moody and Pettigrew, be- tween whowm there is a bond, offensive and defensive, dating buck to 1871, it is possibla that they may both be set aside and entirely new men brought to the front. - Pettigrew is the best worker of the three and will de- velap the most strength in the senatorial figit, but it will be _the pooling. of strength between Moody and Pettigrew that will be depended on to take them' through, Charles G.

YANKTON, Dak., June 11.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Ber.]—By the operation of. an act of the last legislature of Dakota, the lig uor licenses for Yankton retailers will bo $300 on and after the first day of July, which will probably relieve over hajf the twenty- four now doing businoss in this city. Under thelaw that goes into effect the 1st of July, each saloonkeeper must pay $500 to the county and $300 to the city per annury, these being the minimum figures. Heretofore the county has secured nothing, while the city has collected £300, and as last July that amount was demanded in advance, some of them had to borrow and mortguge to get t up. it up. i 30N G The Duke of Portland's Weading.
