The errorless game Omaha played Sunday, togother with its consequential victory, was the probable cause of another large turn out yesterday. In fact, it was the biggest Monday crowd seen upon the grounds this year, and the smile that wreathed President McCormick's face as he leaned back in the directors’ bo and watched the progress of the fray, was ‘broad as the side of the new Bee building. And again the White Sox played without the shadow of an error. Great work that, Isn’t it1 It was u lively, rattling game from start to finish, eharacterized by some-lively hitving, pome groat head work and par-cxceliont field- jng, and, best of all, Omaha yanked in another scalp, Clarke was in the points for the White Sox, and that fact materially helped them on to victory. Just when Minneapolis needed a hit, a nice httle liner—say, out over short or past Andrews—Dad put on thut stop-the- motor swile of his, gave the ball a peculiarly tantalizing twist, and lo! Minneapolis tumbled overy time. 1t was tough luck on Morton’s lambs, but better they should have it than the placid 1t was one, two, throe for Omaha in_rapid succession for three innings, and Mickey Morrison looked as if he meant to give them the razzle-dazzle on to the end. In their half of the third the visitors made their first, last and only score. Turner 'lead oft with a three-bagger way out past Jakey Strauss, and ran home with an carned tally on Morrison's safe drive. Then Dugdale smashed out a single, and the crowd feared that they were onto Daddy for eeps. But he fooled them. He took out a bag full of new slants, and ‘when Morton’s pets began to get too floss, he sprung them, Minnehan and Miller strik- ing out, and West going out from Grover to Andrews. That was clover twirling. The White Sox evened up in the next. Cooney scampered like a rabbit round to second on Foster's muff; went to secoud on Cleveland's sacrifice, and crossed tho plates on Strauss’ long fly to Tamer. The fourth was unproductive, although Andrews did line ont au elegant three-bag- ger; he was caught nappiug, and the goiden opportunity slipped away. ut it made little difference, for he dis- tinguished himself 1n the very next inning by winning the game, smashing out one of the longest hits ever made on the grounds— homer, way out over the right field fence ;enr the carriage gates, and sending in Crooks, Walsh and Nugle boforc him. Oh, my! What a din arose at that! You could hardly hear yoursel think, and Wally ‘eame waddling in to the bench amidst a very phower of big John dollars, five dollar gold eces, currency and other choico and rare ic-a-brac. But lere is the episode in detail: Cooney, the first batter up, was rotired on 4 little fungo to first. Grover made a hit, put Strauss flew out, and another blank stared us in the face. But the brawny lad with the fulminating \W cume to the rescuc. He mado a single, leveland reached third. Then Morrison gave Walsh his base, and the bags were full. It was a breathless moment. Mickey was nervous, hot, mad, rattled. He gave Nagle his base on four more wide ones, and Cleviand was forcea across the te, “Hoy! hey! hey!"” vociforates tho crowd. Androws now stepped to the plate, and plter fooling for several minutes with' Mor- rson’s crratic shots, he caughtone just right. The collision cracked like the report of a musket. Awny went the sphere, up, up, up, and out, put, out, while the crowd stood up und yelld themselves hoarse, for it continued on in its meteoric flight until the fence had been passed and it disappeared away off among the Doric columns of Kountze's addition. Everybody ran home, and for five minutes the uproar was dcu(onln{. The exploit netted the big first baseman at it 'steen dollars, Doc Worley left for the ball on horseback immediately at the close of the game. He's going to have it stuffed. This knocked ail the vimn out of the Min- files, and the balance of the game was as tame and geutlo as Mary's little lamb. The White Sox, however, did earn two more runs in the eighth, on Swr Thomas Nagle's single, Andrews' second three-bag- gor, and Daddy Clarke's opportune drive. And thus the game ended.

The banquet tendered to the Omaha base ball team by local enthusiasts, with Dan Honin as tho moving spirit in the affair, at the Hotel Barker last evening, in honor of their late triumphal tour, was quite an elab- orate ovent. Caterer Balch spread himself in getting up the coliation, and his tables wero one grand symposium of flowers and all the delicacies of the season. Covers wore laid for about seventy-five guosts, and amonglthem weroe the sturdy and gentlemanly Minaeapolitans, whe are here vainly attempt- ing to wrost a ball from Omaha’s redoubt- able knights of the diamond. After a neat and felicitous welcome speech by Mr. Honin, woich was as happily re- sponded to on behalf of the appreciative ball tossers by Manager Selee, tho gong sounded, and to the melliffuous strains of the Musical Union orchestra an onslaught was madoe upon the good things so lavishly supplied by MT:NI Host Balch. There was a constant fusilade of witticisms and ropartee kept up all through this delightful gastronomic exer- cise, and if the Minnies do not take advan- tage of the indiscretions of their adversaries this afternoon it will be bocanse they too could not resist the temptation to overload themselves with the Barker's delectable vi- ands. There were mnono but cold water tonsts, but as the boys got warmed up to their work, many good things were said and the feast continued on until well along toward the small hours.

THE EVIDENCE NOT STARTLING. A Man Supposed to Be the Mysteri- ous Willlams Arrested at Win- nipeg—Madroney and Mo- Donald Released. Puarsuing the Investigation. CrieAGo, June 17.—The grand jury exam- ined numerous witnesses in the Cronin ¢ase this morning, but so far as known no new ovidence of a startling naturo was adduced, Frank Woodruff was seen in his cell at the Jail to-day by an Associated press reporter regarding the statements in his last confes- sion. Woodruff maintains in detail the accu- racy of his last story, and is evidently detor- mined to stand by it. He indignantly denies preparing any additional statoment or con- fossion, and Insists that many conflicting stories previously credited to him emanated ontirely with the police and were fabrica- tions intended to discredit anything ho might say 1 the fulure. Among the witnesses examined was Harry Brown, clerk and junior partner of Alex- der Sullivan. Much the same questions as those propounded to Mr. Windes on Saturday, were put to him. His testi- mony was of a very negative character, but clearly established the fact that Sullivan’s rolations as a lawyer and an Irish leader were distinct and separate and that his duties in the latter capacity were never al- lowed to interfere with or become merged in the business transactions of the firm. Andrew J. Duggan testified at length to nis allsged knowiedge of Lawyer Begga' en- ity to Crontn. Beggs is the senlor guar- diar of the Clan-na-Gael camp which is” said to tiave tried Cronin for treason. Beggs himself testified next. He dis- avowed ail enmity to Crounin and insisted that while he nad regarded the doctor as visionary, and, indeed, somewhat fanatical, at times, they were really on terms of per- sonal friendship. T. P. O'Connor, an active member of the Clan-na-Gael, and one of Cronin’s intimate friends, testified that he was at one time approached by an agent of the Triangle and notified to prepare himself for a “secrot ion” to Great Britain in_behalf of the hysical force’ societies, O'Conunor was warned by Cronin not to obey the mandate, the intimation being given that it wusa snare to get him away and betray him into the hands of the British government. Two of the members of the firm of Lester & Co.. brokers, testified again as to Alexan- der Sullivan’s speculations. George Beckwith, of Lake View, testified that about April 8 & man giving his name as Mulcahey walked into his store at Lake View and engaged in conversation. He corresponds to tho de- scription of the man who hired the Carlson cottage. He told Beckwith thathe was an 0Odd Fellow and a relative of O’Sullivan, the ica man, Mulcahey borrowed $10 on the strength of his Odd Fellowship. He claimed to hail from Fonda, Ia. Beckwith saw him some time later on_oneof Sullivan’s ice wagons, Muicahey was arrested to-day and Beckwith identified him. He was afterwards released, but he is under serveillance. Immediately after the discovery of Cronin’s body O’Sullivan’s ice bouse and the Carlson cottage were photographed. Martin Burke, who was_standing near at the time. was photographed. This same Burke is now said to be under arrest at Winnipeg on the charge of bemg one of the Williains brothers, who rented the cottage and the man who hired the expressman to move the furniture fron the Clark street tlat to the cotwage. The photograph was shown this afternoon to the Carlsons. Old man Carlson thought he rec- oganized Burk, but his wife and son were not sure. The photograph 1s imperfect and somewhat clouded. The jury debated for some time as to the advisability of indicting Burike at once injorder that steps might be takeu promptly for his extradition. It was finally resolved, however, to defer action until the expressman, who was sent to New York to identify Moroney and McDonald, should return and see the photograph. Williams Caught at Winn ipeg. WINNIPEG, Man., June 17.—Last night the chiet of police arrested Martin Burke, alias Delaney, wanted for complicity in the Cronin murder. He was boarding the cast- ern express and had a ticket for Liverpool, and Superintendent Hubbard of the Chicago police, wno wus communicated, with, noti- tled the authoritios to hold Burke, Burke, alias Detaney, arrested - yesterday, has retained counsel and has determined not to voluntarily return to the states. He de- nies all knowledge of or complicity in_the Cronin case, and says he was merely making a trip to Ireland. All the marks on Burke's linen and books and papers found on his person have been obliterated. A name on the band of a_hat found in his valise, resembling that of Cronin, had been smeared over with k. Ohicago’s Police Think it is Williams. CurcAgo,June 17—It is stated by the police this morning that the man arrosted at Win- nipeg yesterday is Williams, the man who rented the Carlson cottage and who hired the furniture moved from 117 Clark street to the cottage. The detectives have had him under surveillance, but he gave them the slip and they had lost track of him for some time. Burke's connection with tho case, it was found out later, is just this: He is the man who hired Martinson, the expressman, to carry the furniture from 117 Clark street to the Carlson cottage. Deteciive Palmer se- cured the photograph of the fellow, which was shown to Martinson and’ doclared by him to be that of the man who hired him to carry tha furniture to the Carlson cottage. Burke obtained some money from persons whose names the police refuse to divulge, and with it bought a ticket for Liverpool via thy Allan line. He then hoarded a train_for Winnipeg, intending to go thenco to Montreal, but was arrested at the rormer place. Burke is a Clan-na-Gael man and came here several weeks before the murder, He is from Hancock, Mich., the home of ex-Detective Coughlin, and was a friend of £, O. Sullivan. Chief Hubbard said, in regard to Burke, thathe was the right man and that they were noarer thesunravelling of the mystery than ever. Extradition papers will be got out as s0on a8 possible and the man will be brought here in two or three days, Maroney and McDonald Released, New Yonrk, June 17.—The three men who came on from Chicago for the purpose of identitying Maroney and McDonald as prin- cipals or accomplices in the murder of Dr. Cronin, visited the Tombs this morning with authority to see the prisoners. The suspects were placed in line with a scorqeof other prisoners, William H. Hatfield, "Who sold the furniture afterwards found in the cot- tage where Cronin was murdered, was first to pass along thedine, and he failed to iden- tify either of the men. He was followed by Martinson, the expressman, I, G. Throck- worton and Deput, heriff Williams. all of whom failed to identify the suspescts, Ma- roney and McDonald were then taken back to their cells, and the Chicagoans leit the prison. Judge Roberts this morning discharged Maroney and McDonald on the ground that there was no evidence on which (o hold them. Judge Andrews, after reviewing the ar- rest and proceedings, said: *‘Although it is a matter of general newspaper notoriet, that Cronin was recently murdered in Chi- cago, it appears that no competent legal evi- dence whatsoever was produced before a magistrate, either of the fact of the murder m-l at Maroney or MeDonald committed the crime. Sullivan's Wife Belleves Him Innocent Loxpoy, June 17.—Mr, Margaret Sullivan, ife of Alexander Sullivan, who s spend- g 8 fow days with friends bere, says that while she is deoply pained at the {mputation implied in assoclating her husband’'s name with the Cronin tragedy, her koowledge of her husband’s absoiute igmorance of the crime sustalus ber, As far as the sensation | rolatos to her husband, sho says sho sees in it Chlu&n newspaper rot, composed partly of antiquated calumnies, whoso untruth was shown yoars ago, and partly of malignant aspersions of porsonal and political enemies, whose motives Chicago editors do not appre- ciate. Sho deeply goplores Cronin’s death and siys the progumption that her husband had personal interest in her doath rests upon an error, which _for ‘a time may soem to jus- tify censure, This; error will be perfoctly shown hereafter, 086 who now condemn nor husband will bo genorous in acknowl- edging his patiénge dnd fortitude. e -snbalebeahity “Fake” Interviews Denled, Cnicaco, June 17—To-day Migs Paully, sistor of the salon-keeper auoted lnst night as corroborating Woadruft’s latest statement, denied emphatically the interview attributed to her. She says she knows nothing of Alexander Sullivan, and nover saw ono answoring his description with Woodruff.

CURIOSITIES OF FREIGHT, Rates Less From New York Than Ohicago to St. Paul THREATENING THE TRUNK LINES, The Effect of the Alton's Withdraw From the Inter-State Commerce Railway Assocliation — The Cut In Lumber Rates. The Northwestern Complication. CnreaGo, June 16.—[Special Telegram to Tar Bee.]—The northwestern situation hias been still further complicated by a reduction of the St. Paul & Duluth to b4 cents, Now York to St. Paul. This brings out the inter- esting state of affairs that New York and eastorn morchants can ship freight from sea- board points to St. Paul 6 cents cheaper than the Chicago merchant can ship exactly the samo class of goods from Chicago to St. Paul, the local rate from Chicago to St. Paul being 60 conts. After'repoated and futile attempts to sot- tle the question with the Lake lines, the roads now have under consideration the abolishing of all pro-rating arrangements via Chicago. This will, in effect, make the through rate from the seaboard to St. Paul the sum of the locals from the seaboard to Chicago, and from Chicago to St. Paul. The proposition is a bluff av the trunk lines, but is more than likely to win. The object of the Dbluff is to compel the trunk lines to stop helping out the lake lines by pro-rating with themat Buftalo. All-rail freight from the seaboard comes via trunk and central traffic lines to Chicago. The Vanderbilt lines, the New York Cen- tral, Lake Shore, Michigan Central and Nickle Plate; the Pennsylyania road with its western lines, the Fort Wayne and Van- dalia; andthe whole Baltimore and Onio system, are vitally interested in the continu- ance of the pro-rating arrangements with Chicago. If the through rate becomes tho sum of the local, ahd the trunk lines still feed the lake lines at Buffalo, almost every pound of freight to and west of Chicago and St. Paul will come by lake, West bound trafiic over the Central Trafiic line trunk lines without lake connections, confined almost wholly to local points. -This is the club the western roads sre holding over the heads of the trunk les, and if 1t falls, as it is liable to do, the thud wall be of the D. S. kind. #To-morrow the matter will be considered by the western ronds, and, according to the present outlook, pro-rating arrangements via Chicago are likely to be abolished., Itis Ifmn{‘w tell, however, what a day will bring orth, Alton's Withdrawal. Cuicaco, June 17.—(Special Telegram to Tae Ber.]—The prophesies of the utter col- lapse of the Inter-State Commerce Railway association, owing o the withdrawal of the Alton road, seem to be a trifle premature. As a prominent official of a Central Trafiic road said, to-day: “Itseems to me that the withdrawal of the Alton will have iess effect on the association than that of any other road in it. The Alton 1s not, by any means, a demoralizer. It will probably cut the live stock rate to the bone, but will cut it openly. For this reason the roads in the association wiill have no diff- culty in meeting the rates, as an article of the agreement, introduced, by the way, by Vice-President McMullin, of the Alton, gives them all the privilege of meeting immedi- ately any ratec made by an outsider. Al- though the Alton can not officially sever its connection with the association uatil July 15, it considers itself, and is considered by the members, as an outside road. The with~ drawal of the Aiton is o moro of a reason for the dissotution of the association thau the refusal of the 1llinois Central to join was a reason, in the beginning, 10r its non-forma- tion.” The Alton is not ready to say yet what action 1t will take relative to the live stock trafiic, except that 1t proposes to got its share. Not long ago Vice-President McMul- lin claimed that the live stock rate from Kan- sas City to Chicago was too high, as it gavea chance for the weak roads to manipulate it. He was in favor of lowering the rate toa living figure, where it could not be cut ex- cept at a loss, This policy will undoubtedly be adopted. To-d General Manager Chappeli said: “Our hdrawal was decided on only after the most careful consideration. A meeting of the directors was called, and they agreed unanimously with us that it was the proper thing to do. We stood tha manipulation of the St. Paul road as long as we could. We have practically been paying them money by allowing them to haul trafic which right- fully belongs tous. We are going to quit that now and pay the money to the ship- pers.” The 8t. Paul Reduces Rates. CmicaGo, June 17.—The Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul road to-day gave mnotice that, taking effect June 26, the rates from Davenport to the interior of Iowa and east of tne Mississippl river would be so arranged as to virtually abolish bridge tolls and amounts to a reduction of 10 per cent in rates from Illinois points located on the river. The action of the Chicago & Alton railroad in giving no- tice of withdrawal from the Inter-State Commerce Railway association is generally resarded as the beginning of the Ulls of the presidents’ agreement, Chairman Waltker to-day, in a letter to Vice-President Mulien, of the Alton, acknowledging the re- ceipt of his commenication, says: *I can mot refrain from expressing my regret that . before making your action formal you did not inquire as 1o the course taken by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul under tho recent recommendations of the executive board, Had you done so, I believe that your inference would, to some extent at least, have been modified.” The Cut Lumber Rate. Cnicago, June 17.—|Special Telegram to The Bee.|—The long delayed notice of re- duction in the lumber rate to Missouri river points, by the Alton, will be sent to Wash-~ ington to-nignt. It was found impossible to lower the rate to 10 cents without starting a rate war from southern lumber points, and a compromise was made on 13 cents, the southern roads agreemg to maintain their rates. The 13-cent rate will be met by all competing road: Bunker Hill Celebrated.
