Big Dave Rowe took his lusty mountain- eers out to the ball vark yesterday afer- noon, and came within an ace of leaving them there, for the Omahas made monkeys of them. Dave, you see, has no desire to travel around the country with an aggregation of anthropoids and try to confidence the natives into tho belief that they are ball players. But o lay all joking aside, whilo the Den- vers are a good, strong, earnest ball team, they were like 80 many pigmies in the dalli- ance of u lot of giants yesterday, and the lop- sidedness of the battic made it lag aud weari- some. In extenuation of their poor showing, how- ever, it is but proper to state that they only reached Omaha in the morning, and had been on the cars all mght. To-day they promise to_ show us what they can do when they are feeling good. Yesterday they lLad their new warm weather wonder, Petor McNabb, in the box, and Poter received such a smashing that great wrinkles wero scon to creep inabout the corners of his eyes, and his hair began to turn gray, and to keep him from going crazy o was sont out_into the garden, Maud, 1n the sixth, and Cornelius Fagan was called in to take his place. Fagan was buta slight improvement on the southerne But the game. Cooney opened up by taking first on balls. He stole second and scored on Cleveland’s single. Strauss was thrown out_ at first by Peter, Crooks likewise, Cleveland gowe to third on the play. Walsh's splendid drive brought him home. Andrews ended the in- ning. That two runs, crowd was happy. For the Denvers Dalrymple was quickly disposed uf at first on a brilliant stop and throw by Crooks. McClellan drove the ball to right and toox second cushion, on what really should have been but a single. 13ut it was all the same, however, for ex.Captain Crooks slammed both Tredway and White out at first so quick that it took their breath, Clever boy, that Crooks. Again the White Sox scored in the sec- ond. Nagle laced out a beauty for a couplo of sacks, and took sccond on i passed ball. anyway, and the Then, after Canavan and Clarke had wafted, Cooney sent him in on asingle to left. Cleve- land’s retirement stopped the sport Rowe led off with a single for his side, and soon after ambled clear round to third on a wild pitch. That was as far as he could get. Fugan strick out, Silch flew outto Cleveland, and Grandpa Dolan tried three times to sco how close he could come to the ball without hitting. That was ball playmng. In the next Strauss went out to Tredway Crooks went to first on balls, and Walsh fol lowed suit on a fumble of his hot grounder by Mr. McClelian. Then Aundrews was pre- sented with first on four wide ones and the bases were full. And yet no runs came in, because Nagle drove a little one to _McClel- 1an; who touched Andrews on the lho, and threw the batter out at first. A timely double, and no mis It was one, two, three for Denver. In the fourth Canavan scored on his own single, a steal and an error by Dalrymple, Again the Denvers drew a blank. In the fifth Mr. McNabb was h morcilessly. “Walsh, Andrews and Nagle made hits rapid succession, the latter's being for two ‘bags, which scored the former two. Clarke and Cooney were both given their bases on ‘balls, and Cleveland drove the whole outfit 1u on & magnificent three sack drive way out in the right flold corner. Crooks’ out av first spoiled all chances for further runs. = Aain-the Denvers came in and swallowed their medicine—another goose In fact, thoy kept this up until the very last imning, when Tredway caught a bute on the end of his club and sent it whizzing over the right fleld fence for a home run. ‘That was the only way they could have madé arun,” ssid Crooks, as he came in from second, **by hitting it ouvof tho lot." “The same teams play this afternooa.

Speaking (of the matter of the electrio light contraoty Gouncilman Bedford said that hie thought the_committeo acted all right in reporting as it &l0. It had been decided that u 16-candle power light was all that would be Meded, anttswhy should they pay another company $4 wéte por light of H0-candle power when such power wus not neoded! The mayor said he knew nothing about the matter and had no opinion. Councilman Ford said that if the commit teo on gas and electrio light had reported in favor of accepting the proposition of the Thomson-Houston Eleotric Laght com- pany without having in its ad- vertisement specified what amount of light was required, thoy left tho bidders out in the dark, aud he did not think the recom- mendation would finally be sustained. It was one thing to adopt & committee's report, sup- posing that the committec had thoroughly considored the mattor under discussion. Tt was another thing, however, to order the committee to make a contract. Such an order, ho felt, would not be madoe without further wnquiry into the matter. Biade ought to bo given to understand on what they were biading, Councilman Davis had displayed too much energy in going for the gus company, and, the speaker thought, a great deal of that energy had beeu displayed in this case, Another member of the council said that he didn't like to have his mamo published, but 1f it was true that tho commitiee on gas had not specitied what candle power light it expected, it had not done right and he would not favor awarding the contract until thero had been a full and fair competition. ‘3o tween you and we,” he swd, “‘Mr. Davis has been warming matters up to_the Omaha. Gas Manufacturing company_since ho has been in tho council, and this' is a special ex- amplo of it." —_———— QUERY TO THE COMMISSIONERS. Why Was $1,200 Squandered in the Vault Balcony? Whether the county commissioners pro- pose to do anything with J. H. Cornos' re- port of thecost of the vault balcony in the county building or not seems to be past find- ing out. Last apring when O'Keeffe made his com- plaint, and the investigating committee, con- sisting of himself, Anderson and Turner, was appoiuted aud empowercd to employ two ex- perts, Christian Specht and Gustave An- dreen wore conferred with, but fearing that it would involve them in a political quarrel they refused to give the committee their services. ‘Thereatter the subject dropped out of sight, though O’Keeffo had blue prints made which he sentto men in Chicago, St. Louis, Ciucinnati, and other points. The committee, ~howover, took no further action. . O'Keeffe tinally assumed the responsibility of engaging one of the two experts, and got Cornes, who took measure- ments and last week wade his_report, which was laid bofore the board on Saturday. The report was ordered filed. This report con- tains an itemiged statement showing just what Mr. Cornes would be willing to furnish cach article for, and gives the total cost at §242.40. Whether Anderson and Turner wiil proceed now and - sccure another oxpert is not kuown, Turner has goue cast, Mount and O'Keeffe ave out in the country looking after roads and bridges. Mr. Anderson' was asied what_he tuought of Cornes’ roport, which showed that while the balcony which had cost $1,500, the board had adopted an expert opinion which showed that the material alonc in the same could be purchased for less than $300. The commissioner was surprised to hear that a roport: of the kind had been filed; wanted to know. who Cornes was, what ho had done and other things of that kind. He had not even read of Cornes' re- port in the papers. He was gnorant of the fact that his board had voted on, accepted and paid for, a report which makes it an interesting query as to_why $1,500 should be paid for a baicony which, it seems, could have been put in position for less than $400 at the utmost. gt sts e GOES TO ST.

At tho last clection the negroes in Cedar Creek precinct elected the justice of the peace and constable, colored men. They have been carrying things with a high hand since. A few days ago Alf Litten, white, was arrested by a negro con- stabie, During the progress of the trial, Latten started to leave the court room, when Wicks, the negro justice, shot him down, and Constable Wilson emntied a revolver into the dying man. The wildest confusion took place, Knives, ro- volvers and shotguns were speedily brought forth. People from all ports of the neigh- borhood rushed to the spot. During the battle many persons were stabbed or shot, among the latter Peter Lee, colored, who was shot down and lilled. Two white men —Alexander Nolan and George Schoaff— were killed. One of Houston Mooore's sons, colored, was killed by a sway Dbullet. Two others also bit tho dust at the hauds of white assailants. Several others were wounded. Over ouo hundred shots wero fired.

Instead, however, of paying he absconded from Chioago with Rachel Vaughn as has been told in Tis Bre, aud started to California. Mrs. Hagan telo- graphed to Chief of Police Seavey, who ap- prohended the pawr when they ' reached Omaha, Tn Mrs. Hagan's afiaavit fled with the petition she says she believes the Com- mercial National bauk of this city has the money she sues for in its possession. Mrs. Hagan and Moore are at the Murray hotel. They left Chicago together on Satur- day afternoon over the Chicago & North- western road. Mrs. Hagan is under Moore's care, and he Jeft orders that neither himself nor his charge should be seen by any one. If visitors asked for them they were supposed to be out. A reporter for Tur Bee rapped on the door of room Nu. 15 yesterday afternoon. The door was opened “and a sleepy faco made its appearance. Mr. Moore was “‘at home." The door then closed with a bang. it opened again the body attache sleepy face had been hastily clothed. *Come in,” and Mr. Moore sank down on the bed from which he had just arisen. What did he know about the affairs of the Hagans! Everything, but he wouldn’t say a word. And what did he krow about the girl in the case? All about it ‘When to the She is not a_typewriter, and hardly knows enough to read or write her own name. She was onlya servant girl in the Hagan family, and bears an unsavory reputation. She had an illogitimate child before she ever saw Hagan. The child is now with the girl's mother. The pretty nineteen-year-old girl is twenty-three if sho's a day. 13ut here— And Mr. Moore stopped his tongue o quick his eyesfairly popped, and he said he didn’t want to be interviewed.

Moore is A tea packer with headquarters at Chicago. He says he never suw Mrs. Hagan until a fow houra before the train started iast Saturday, but they at once pooled issues to get, their money back. Hagan was seen lazer ana said hoe guessed he would keep his _story *back until to~t At 20'clock this afternoon he will have an examination befor Judee Berka. Ho denios, howeyer, the story that he absconded with his wife’s money. and says he mortgaged his business block at New Castle, Pa., to get the money he brought here with him. The money, in the shape of a draft for §2,500, now lies in the Commercial National bank of this city. An interesting bit of news is this: Hagan will say that he never intended to leave Chicago permanently, and had no thought of stopping with the girl, but was merely es- corting hor to her relatives in tho west. He wasn't ready to say just where these rela- tives were. Ho had intended from the be- ginning, and intends now, to go back to Chi- cago and attend to his business, Charles F.

Tt all happened very quickly, but the act was witnessed by hundreds, and this is how it occurred : A young man’ from Omaha who was bathing at Manawa Sunday evening ventured out too far, and was soon beyond his depth.

Of the dozens of men who were silent spectators of the af- fair, none had presence of mind or cour- age'enough to go to the assistance of the drowning man.

Ho reached tte place as the man came to the surface, and was clutched in_such a desper- ate embrace that both went down_togother.

It was the governor of the French Congo himself, and he was off on one of his long tramps through the country.

They made up their minds that his instru- ments were a very powerful fotich, and that this white man was a person not to be trifled with. Soon a crowd gathered around him, and when the curious blacks came too near, the explorer frightencd them awny by his gruft man- ner and imputient geésture ‘Get away from me.

Their meat and vegetables, which had been boiling in a pot, were ready, and the group gathered around the dying fire and began to eat. - De Brazz watched them for a minute or two. Then he took a tin plate and a large spoon. walked up to the pot, helped himself liberally to its contents without saying a word to any- body, sat down by a tree, and regaled himself with s cookery. He knew just the effect his netions had produced upon the native mind and just what to do. Then he told the v ors his men were hungry and must be fed. Fed they were. witn all they could eat, for who would dare to oppose a_greant medicino man who carried such a remarkable fetich as a theodolite De Brazza stept in the village that night, and next morning he puid the nativeswell for all they had given lim, and took his de- parture. De Brazza is one of the fow explorers who are perfectly willing, if neod be, to live for months on native cookery. If he has no supplies at hand he ismot afraid to travel without them.
