Yesterday was ladies' day at the batl park, and the beautiful, autum-like weather, with its nicely tempered winds and mellow sun- s, brought out the fair oues in swarms, Evory roserved seat was occupied, while the east wing of the grand stand fairly shone Wwith sparkiing eyes, beaming faces and gaily colored apparel. And then, besides all this, thers was a fine attendance of gentlemen, the main stand bemng comfortably filled and the bleachers a black mass of vociferous enthusiasts. It was in truth that sort of a crowd that makes the boys feel good and maybe they “@idn’t play ball. It was withiout doubt the prettiest game of the season—sharp, short und decisive; brist- 1ing with brilliant plays and clever hitting, ‘without an error for Solee's pets, nor a run “'dnd but one little lonely hit for the visitors. Kid Nichols, Omahn’s gentlomanly young twirler, was too much for the rugged moun- tainoers, and the only on e among them who was sufficlently puiss sut—and puissant is an -owful @ooa word—to gev the ball safely without the diamond was _Lredway. KEvery single member of the White Sox played in elegaunt form, not the shadow of a blunder = befug committed, and where all were so per- fect it would be invidious to individualize. _It Was not until the second inning that any scoring was done, and thea after Crooks, who ‘was &8 full of music as Adam Forcpaugh's IHope, had gone out out on a high fly to rediyay, Wulsh came along with his_custo. ary hit. Andrews Unmediately drove him in on a robust two-sacker. Nagle, too, made a hit, but was caught napping uifirst, and with'an abashed glance toward tho'corner where the two mascots sat, he slunk buck to the ch. - Canavan ended the inning. It was an egg, hard boiled, for tho Den- vers. In the fifth Count Strauss led oft with a Ohisthng three-sacker, coming home & mo- . @ent later on apassed ball, biocked by the smpire, . Aud the umpire, by the way, is the bes joxt to Sandy McDermott, who ever umpir re., Quick and correct in his decisions, he permita no unnecessary parleying, and whoops the game up from start to finish. His decis- don declaring Dolan out for interfering with Cleveland when the latter was in the act of catching a fly ball, was greeted by a storm of applause. 4 It was a tantalizing _decision for Denver, for it spoiled thoir only hope of a run, but it fairly tickled Omaha to death, Lots of fun in a game of ball, there 1 Inthe fifth the White Sox made a braco of tallies. After Nagle had been tossed out at first, Canavan took his base on four yellow ones, and the Kid followed with a cracking single. A passed ball let Tomniy in and put Nick on * third, whenco he scored 8 momeat later- on Cleveland's out from Dolan to Rowe. And the Mountaineers coitinued to swal- low their egg-flips right along with a mo- notony that was becoming wearisome. In fact, they only reached first threo times and second once, and that is the nearest the rub- ber they could get. So near and yet so far. In both, the eighth and ninth the local team scored twice, but as there was nothing particularly thrilling connected with these achievements, a detailod desoription is omitted. ‘The score follows: isn't 2 Cooney, m.....

John Morley will moved an amendment against increasing the allowances of the royal princes, unless when the next request is made it is accompanied by a pledge that it will be the final one.

LCopyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett,] Loxvox, July %4.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tix Ber.|—Subscriptions to the North American Salt company closed hero to-day. The shareholders—which means the English Salt unfon—subscribed £663,000 and the public £510,000. The fig- ures were secured from one of the pro- moters, wno wondered how the American public was buymg. It is considered curious by shrewd business men that the promoters of the company did not give ‘any inkling of the profits of the salt making states and Canada. The prospectus simply states one question of revenue: ‘It is believed that with the im- proved methods an average not profitof 4 cents a bushel can be relied on.” Such a profit on 10,000,000 barrels would give £400,000 on £3,000,000 capital, the prospectus states, but not a word of past.profits appear. Salttid oot Ilinol=s Underwriters Jubilant, Cn1cAGo, July 24.—Insurance -agents are rejoicing over the decision rendered by Judge Clifford to-day.

It was necessary, in order to prove the charges here, ov at the books of the companies in this Therefore, as a test case, the ‘state’s attorney moved for an order on oue copeny to produce its books. This order Judge Clif- ford declined to grant,and unless the su- preme court reverses the decision the statutd will become a dead letter. i fal A Straw Board Cémbine: Cuicago, July 24.—The straw ‘board makers of the country have ypitéd in one mammoth company or trust.

The most plaus- ible theory is that they were stockmen pass- ng through with a load of live stock and perhaps a tramp on tho train did the deed and threw the bodies off in order to allay sus- picion. The bodies were found close to- gether botween the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio and Lake Shore railway: — - A Desperado Killed. ST.

During the early part of the forenoon the regular classes in theology, botany, political solenco and geology had @ good attendance, and the interest taken in these courses by the pupils shows that those branches are an essential part of the Chautauqua work.

July 24.-—[Special Tele- gram to Tne BEk.)—The disappearance of C. W. Davis, mpnager of the telophone ex- change, has been the subject of considerable speculation in this ¢ty duriig the past twen- ty-four hours. “FKg young man left his office on the evening of.the 15th inst.,” telling the company's empjayes here that he would leave on the miduightArain for Omaha on busi- ness, and that Bé wauld refurn in a day or two.

Mr. Drake, man- ager of the company, arrived last night and investigated 'Mr. Davis' books with the company, which he found correct. Mr. Drake was asked this evening concern- ing the affair, and he said that a complica- tion of matrimonial affairs, in his opinion, was the cause of Davis' strange disappear- unce. From bundles of old correspondence it was learned that Dayis has been engaged to ulady in the east, and the time for the nuptials had been set for different times, and each time postponed by him. The lady had determined upon August 1 as the wedding day, and had arranged to live here. In view of supporting the aged parents of the fady it is supposed that he purposely lost himself. Another young lady in the east is also con- spicuous in the case, Meeting of State Bank Creditors. SioNEY, Neb., July 24.—[Special Tele- gram to Tre BEr. [ —There was a large meet- ing of the creditors of the State bank held here to-night, at which J. P. Cavanaugh,rep- resenting Frank B. Johnson, of Omaha, was vresent. He evidently came loaded with propositions for a settloment on the part of Frank B. Johnson, in the naturo of a com- vromise. The proposition which contained the greatest exhibition of cheek was as fol- lows: Frank B, Johnson asked the creditors 10 take the assots of tho defunct bank at 50 cents on the dollar, On the nominal showing of assets, as made by the state- ment, he made some reductions, one being that of the debt of §10,000 which ho claimed Morgan owed to him, The assets as estimated amounted to a littlo less than &05,- 000. He then offered to pay the remainder of the liabilities, estimated at.§56,000, §26,000 of which consists of Morgan’s paper beld by Omaha banks and endorsed by Johnson, half in cash and half ju Omaha and Boone county roal estate. In other words, he would pay 21,500 in cash, impelled by his moral obliga- i to take up his own paper in the Omaha banks, and inaddition ask that_the creditors sell his real estate for him and contribute a full $1,000 from the proceeds to make up the balance, remunerating themselves {rom tho sale of land entirely, Thus does Mr. John- 50D propose to keop his promise to see that the creditors lose nothing by the failuro of the bank. The creditors are now determined 10 acoept no compromise. They laugh at his propositions, and propose that unless r, Johnson _has _something better t offer to _give him more trouble in the codfrtsthan he has experienced far some time inikhe past. The people of Sidney are nobi#u)s wood to be gulled by Mr. Johnson, (.1 The Lite: W. ®, Faton. FuLueeT: '9\,)., uly 24.—The funeral of W. H.
