OMAHA DAILY E: FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1880 NMANAGER SELEE'S BENEFIT, It Proves to be a Most Successful and Interesting Affair. A FIVE INNING GAME OF BALL Followed by Sprinting and Long Dis- tance Throwing Contests Make Up the Day's Programme ~Other Sports, At the Ball Park. The benefit tondered Frank F. Selee, the @lever and eficient manuger of the Omoaha base ball team, at the ball park yesterday afternoon, by his numerous friends, was a and substantial one. The stands were all filled with a smiling and good- natured crowd, including a large number of 1adies, and if an exuberance of spirits and enthusiasm can bo taken as an evidenco that everybody had a good time, then Selee’s patrons did, for they whooped and ap- lauded and laughed at everything that took Place, from the buil game down to the fancy markmanship of Mons. McMahon. The afternoon’s sport opened with a five inning game of vall between the Omahas and a picked nine, which included Broughton and (!’nrmll. of the St. Pauls. Manager Belee pitched for the White Sox, and the barrel of slants, and nrnps‘ and curves, and shoots he opened up for the beneflt of the picked team would have made Tim Keefe or Clarkson turn red, whito and blue with envy. He mowed them down—in his mind— like the timothy falls before the scythe. . r an heroulean struggle of one hour's duration the Omahas won by the narcow margin of 5to 4. C. M. Jackson ‘‘empired? the game, ana was roasted to a turn by the bleachers. His work, however, was equal to that of a Gaffney or a Kelley. Following the ball came a hundred er sprint _race, with Carroll, of the St. juls, and Willis, Nichols and Mesasitt, of the Omahas, as the starters. It was a beau- titul sprint, and resulted in a tie between and Carrol!, Nichols being but an inch or two behind, and Messitt the samo behind Nick. Messitt stumbled at the start, whicn spolled his chances of winning. Time, 11 secon: In the base running contest were Walsh, Nichols, Strauss, Canavan and Messitt, ‘Whalsh and Strauss tiea in making the cir- cuit in 15 seconds, while Nichols ran it ia 15%¢ and Messitt in 155¢. e next event on the card was the long nee throwing contest, in which were ughbton, of the St. Pauls, and Messitt, Nichols, Cleveland and Canavan, of the Omahas, and younz Hart, a clever amateur of this city. Hart made the bost throw, cov- ormg one hundred and eleven yards and two feot; Broughton second, with one hundred and eleven yards and ond foot. The tancy rifle shooting by Mons. McMa- hon, which was quite clever, closed the day’s sports.- St. Joseph 10, Des Moines 5. Sr. Josrpm, Mo., August 15.—St. Joseph earned seven of her ten runs, while the hits of the Des Moines were not well placed. The flelding of Ardner, Connell and Mas- Jrey, and- the hitting of Kreig ana HBurkes put some hife into an otherwise listless game. Score: .

Beforo 8 o'clock standing room was sold and people scrambled ' fop: mhut, something un- precedented in Omaha at this sea- son of the year. But it demonstrated two things—that the attraction s very popular with the pubhic and that our theater- ers appreciate a good. play. ‘“‘The Wife a play that suits them, while Herbert Kelcey, Georia Cayvan, Nelson Wheatcroft, Henry Miller, W. J. Le Moyne, Charles Wol- cot, Girace Henderson, Mrs. Wolcot, Louise Dillon, Mrs, Thomas Wiffen and Charles Dickson are players who fill to its fullest bent their ideal pleasure. It is a story of domestic_misfortune exposed in subsequent incidental revelations, seasoned with a suffi- cient amount of the Spice of every day Lifo to keep an audience thoroughly enter- tained, and these artists handle their 8o very sallfully the iterest at a high tension from beginning to end, It would be @ hard matter to select from the whole any of the characters for special mention, be- cause they are so closely allied, so important to each other and all so well acted that the performance can with justice be taken: only in its entirety. True, Herbert Keicey and Georgie Coyvan as John Rutherford and Helen Truman, re- spectively, are the central figures around which the others rotate, but in no sense do they overshadow Matthew Culver, the vil- lain, as presented by Nelson Wheatcroft, or Robert Gray, the unfortunate lover, who is portrayed so well by Henry Miller: nor the mayor, Homer O, Put G. A. R. of W. J. LeMoyne; also tl clever work of Mrs. Charles Wolcot as Mrs. Ives; Louise Di'lon, as Kitty Ives, her daugnter, and Grace Henderson as Lucille Ferrant, the desperate woman. Miss Cayvan is an artist of such sweet grace, ease and naturalness that it is unpossible for an audience notto admire, and Kelcoy makes such a manly character of John Rutherford as to elicit the groatest admiration, It is a model play in the hands of a model company. Consequently they combine to vroduce a model performance. John Russell’s new farce comedy, *“The City Directory,” was put on for the first time in Omaha last night, at tbe Grand. ‘With such well known comedians as Charlie Reed, John Gilbert, bignatio Martinetta, William Collier, Harry Standish, and a host of pretty comediennes, headed by Helen Reimer and Yohe, it succeeded, considering the strength of a counter-attrac- tion, 1n drawing a good audience, The piece is 80 new and unfamiliar that many bad breaks were noticed in its presentation, but when the artists get their business down flne it will be a Mr. Russell characterizes his oreation as. a comedy of errors, All the characters are named Smith, and through the action every- body chases abpdy else.

SULLIVANITES AT OGDEN GROVE, Resolutions Denouncing the Murder Passed by Both Bodies—Intense Feeling Shown by the Doce tor's Partisans, Two Bitter Rivals. CnroAco, August I5.--[Special Telegram to Tum Ben. |—~1he two great rival Irish vicnics were given at Ogdon's Grove and Chéltenham beach to-day, the forufer under the auspices of the adhereats of the old Clan-na-Ciael “Triangle” and the latter con- ducted by the Horsonal Rignts’ leaguo and friends of Dr. Cronin. The money derived from the Cheltenham beach affair will be turned aver to the Cronin investigating com- mitteg, to be used In aiding the prosecution of the assassins, while the funds gathered at Ogden’s Grove will be sent to Mr. Parnell, The rivalry between the pienics to-day was not started by Dr. Cronin's death, but the feeling of the difforent factions of the Clan- na-Gael was bitterly intensified by the trage- dy. ‘The two mienivs business dates back to the eplit in the Ancient Order of Hibernesns, which fimally led to the factional fight in the Clan-na-Gael The mutual dislike of the parties in control of the different picnics to-day 1s very strong. The Ogden's Grove people think that the men who originated the Cheltenham beach affairare trying to fasten the crime of Cro~ nin’s assassination on the whole Irish people here and abroad and they feol very angry at the imputation. The Cheltenham beach folks accuse the Ogden’s Grove men of being in secret or open sympathy with the conspi- rators who plotted Cronin's murder, and they are more bitter than the others, if that were possible. . “You're s traitor w the race and cause,” says the Ogden’s Grove man to the Cheman-. ham beach man. “‘You're & sympathizer with a murderer and an adherent of Alex Sullivan,” is the retort, The Cheltennam beach picnic was ad- dressed by John Devoy, of New York, Luke Dillon, Congressman Foran, of Cleveland, W. J. Hynes, Dr. McCahey, of Philadelphia, LMA‘J. Ryan and Thomas P. Luite, of De- roit. The crowd began to gather at Cheltenham beach errly in the day. The first train went, down_ at 8 o'clock. Eacly in the forenoon anumber of Irish nationalists, with their wives, daughters and sweethearts, were bask- ing beneath the spreading onks in Ogden’s Grove, eatitg ice croam or drinking beer, as their funcies dictated, but it was not until 2:30 o'elock that the picnic was at its height. At that hour the Clan-na-Gael Guards, bril- liant with their bright regalias and green plumes, thie Hibernian Riflss, with their mus- ketry and habiliments of war, and the An- cient Order of Hibernians in full dress uni forms swept through the gates and took pos- session of the grounds. Then the fun began in earnest. Everybody was in the best of humor and looking for a good time. From the tall flag staff at the entraace of the grove the star spangled banner flouted in the breeze, and as is usual in such cases, the flag of Ireland had been run up to keep 1t com- pany. Inside the grounds little American flags were every where to be seen, and by the side of each ‘was the green banner, on which was painted the harp of Erin. There was a force of seventeen policemen -under command of Lieutenant Arch oa the grounds to see that the Irish patriots’ zeal did not overrun their judgment, but the number of policemen in citizens’ clothes could hardly be counted. ‘The principal features of the two demon- strations were the resolutions, or ‘‘ad- dresses’” adopted by each. At Ogden’s Grove the dddress issued by the executive committee and adopted by the assemblage says: “1t has been asserted by those instru- mental in covering us with defamation that we wish to screen the murderers of Dr. Cronin. We meet here to-day, smong other reasons, for the purpose of vehemently de- nouncing his atrocious murder in our capac- ity as American citizens; but we hold that as Irise-Americans there is'no more reasou W hold us responsible for that foul atracity than there is to hold any other element of our body politic for crimes committed by persons to whom they are kindred. We de- voutly hope that the officers authorized by law will succeed in bringing to justice the ussassius of Dr. Cronin.” “‘We repudiate, both as American citizens and as Irish-Americans, the claim made by the enemies of our race that the Irish ole- ment bas any desire or any purpose to make the soil of America the theater of acts of vengeance because of the feuds, factions or disagreements growing out of political dif- ferences or personal heart-burnings. Wo re- turn our sincere and most grateful thanks to Hon. John M. Thayer, governor of Nebraska, for his magnanimous defense of the honor of our race against the reckless slanders of a society of professional foreigners.” ‘The Croninites’ platform says: “Pledged tothe maintenance of law m this land, we cannot see two sides on which law-apiding people can stand. Those who are not with the authorities in the execution of the laws are against them and are dan- gorous citizens. We cannot apologize for crimes and be law-abiding Fuo le; hence we deem it the duty of YJW abiding citizens to denounce with all the ve- hemence of their nature the most heinous crime of the nineteenth century, the mal 10us assassination of the patriotic, christian citizen, Dr. P. P. Cronin, Wealso denounce with no less vehemence tho attempt to place the responsibility for that assassination upon the Irish people by defaming the honorable reputation of our murdered fellow citizen. Here, in our midast, in the garden city of the republic, was conceived, planned and exe- cuted this most heinous of crimes; hence it is meet and proper that here in our beloved home, and by this immense demonstration of her penevolent societies and assembled citi- zens, who come together to bear witness to the character, patriotism and virtue oft our murdered brother as well as to place on rec- ord the indignation of civilized humanity at the commission of an atrocios crime, ‘Wae declare that the men who conceived these crimes are infamous beyond description; and we demand for them punish- ment in accordance with the degree of their crime, and that the law be fully vindicated by the rigid execution of the same. “Fellow citizens of Irish birth or extrac- tion we have an additional duty to perform. While the world is satisfled that the Irish people, as a people, had no hand in the atro- cious crime, we cannot close our eyes to the mistakes of our people that led up to this crime. A few years ago union and a broth- erly self-sacrificing spirit of patriotism pre- vailed among our people, To elevate our country among the nations of the earth, to call 1nto its service the able, the competent, the honest men of our race was the ambition of all lruoxnlriun. In an evil hour the ma- lignant, selfish and erime-stained offspring of the enemy, with sleek and bypocritical faces, clothed in the garb of Irish patriotisin, came among us. Thbey showed deflance to the enemy and gallantly waived our own imn- mortal green 4,000 miles away from the *red.” With seemingly earnest words and glittering generalities thoy diverted us from our tried and faithful guide, substituting the modern patriot with one eye and both bhands on American office. They filled us with promises and at the same time filled English prisons with our patriotic brethren, In the name of Ireland they rent into factions every patriotic Irish society in America. In the name of Ireland they set brotber against brother. In the name of Ireland they called for your money. In tho name of Ireland they failed to account for it. In the name of Ireland they betrayed Irshmen into the hands of the enemy. In the nume of Ireland they attempted to in- vestigate these great orimes. In the name of Ireland they their criminzls and dupes to the Carlson cottage and murdered Dr. Cronin, the name of Lreland they wouid bury hll?)o&v in Lake Michigan and bhis memory Inlum&/.

Was ever a people so discraced! Was ever a people so cursod! Was ever & people so stupefied the artifices of cunning and criminal arrogancel Was England ever better 1 Was ever Irelan: ately betrayed!” At Ogden's grove ex-Congressman Finerty made a ring Speech in which he do- nounced the Chicago pross for its partisan. ship in the Cronin mattor, intimating that the papers in their demands that the mur- derer be hunted to justico were really at. tempting to make the Irish odious with the !lixml of the Cronin murds t Cheltennam beach the sensational feature of the day was the denunciation of Michaol Davitt and Patrick Egan by John Devoy. This ntleman in a long and 1m- passioned specch ofulenged not only the mottves but also honesty and pateiotism of these well known Irishmen. Mr. Egan, the United States minister to Chill, was de- nounced as a sympathizer with the gang who instigated the murder of Cranin and with huving ased the prestige of his position to blacken Cronin's character. Congressman Lawler in a vigorous speech denounced Finerty as a har, poltroon and scoundrel, 80 deliber- MINING IN TH MISSOURL Gold Found in the River Bed at Townasnd Mont. Herexa, Mont., August 15.—[Special Tele- gram to Trm Bee.|—The dry season in this region is benefitking the peoplo of Townsend, ‘where the Missouri river is crossed by the Northorn Pacific railroad. The river is so low at that point that a large avea of the river bed is exposed. Townsend people re- cently began ground sluicing for placer gold on the exposed portions of the river bed and have struck it rich. The first experiment vielded 87 to $10 a day to o man. It has long been known that gold deposits were plenti- ful in the upper Missouri, but they could not bo worked profitably unloss during low water periods. The Missouri will probably soon be lined with gold miners for fifty miles each way from Helena. ot~ S Attend the Omaha Fair September 2 to 6.

Shelany’s orchestra furnished music. After congratulatious, dancing commenced, which added much to the pleas- ures of the evening. The tablo being spread with an abundance of palatable ana inviting edibles, Mr. Charles Singer called the friends to order, and in a_short, neat speech stated what haa brought the friends to- gether and introduced the Rev. Father D. W. Moriarty, who, in a few well chosen words, stated the feelings of admir- ation for and confidence in Mr. Rafferty, who in his public capacity as a local legisla- tor had demonstrated his friendship and his right to be regarded an honest and upright man. As a tokem of esteem he then pre- sented Mr. Rafferty with a very fine gold headed, ebony cane, inscribed: *‘Presented to ex-Councilman Daniel Rafferty, of South ©Omaha, Neb., 1889, by friends.” Mr. Raffer Francis Boyle will start lE‘dgny afternoon for County Armagh, Ire and.

Thursday afternoon Cornelws Fitzgerald came very near being crushed by a large stick of timber. As he was driving along, one of the large timbers was being raised and a team just in frontof him stopped, prevent- ing bim from gome on. Just then the fastenings broke, letting the timber fall across the center of therear part of the wagon, coming within a short distance of crushing him. Birthday Party. Two score of the little friends of Emma Jetter, aged ten years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Balthas Jetter, gathered at their ploas- ant home, Twenty-eighth and Q streets, Thursday afternoon.

Duplechein, about four miles from here, for the purpose of regulating a mulatto woman whoso conduct did not_exactly suit their ideas. The woman was taken by the crowd, and as she was being carried away Duplechein came up and made an attempt to shoot, but his gun failed to fire and the mob seriously wounded him, filliog him with buckshot. Duplechein fired sfter he was shot and cavsed them to release the woman. A hat was found which was recognized, and the impression is that the guilty parties’ will be brought ta justice, us it is understood the woian can 1dentify some of the party. e The Irrigation Committee.

SITTING BULL WOULDN'T SIGN., He 1a no Warrior, Only a Modicine Man and a Paffed Up Old Fraad —~Extra Session Talk—The Speakership Race. 518 FouRTzRNTH STRUET, Wasnmixarox, D. C,, August 15, A special from Oakland,” Md., to-day, re- ports that Major-General Crook arrived there yesterday to join Mrs, Crook and tnat he was ready to talk about the Sioux ques. tion. “'Sittine Bull,” saild General Crook, “would not sign the treaty. He i8too buffed up with his own importance. It'ls a wonaer to me how so great a fraud as Sitting B.11 could be made such a hero of. Why, a white woman from the east actually went out'to tho reservation and ' proposed marriage'to him, which he discreetly declined, as he had already sovoral squaws who would probably make 1t uncomfortable for her. She s not the only woman, however, who has given' the fellow cause for tis concet, for many orders come for his photographs,” “But did he not really aisplay great brav- ery in the Custer fight? " ‘No,” said the general, “ho showed fthe whito feather, ran away, una afterwards got all the glory among tho whito men, With the Indians Sitting Bull has no reputation as @ brave. By them he is considored a medi- cive maan." General Crook safd he had done a great deal of traveling sinco the 7th of May, when he started for the Sioux reservation. He says tha Sioux reservation is us long e the stato of Indiana, and is occupied by more than 2,500 Indians. The tract 1s too large for any practical'purpose. They can not cul- tivate it, and much of it luys in tne lund of the Dakotus, & pecularly rich section. There are soven agencies which - own the reservation in common. What the govera- mont desired was that each agéncy should take a reduced reservation and own ft inde- vendently, and then sell the land lying ba- tween the seven reduced reservations to the vernment at a moderate price. The In- ians objected on the ground thatif they should sell part of the little land left them the whites would after a while take it all. General Crook is of the opinion that the Inaians had been bribed not to sell, but by whom he had no knowledwe, but thonght the cattle men or railroad companies might have had a hand in it. ' AN EXTRA SESSION. It isnow generally conceded ou all sides that there wiil bu an extra session of con- gress. It is believed that the president has at last made up his mind aefinitely to eall boch houses together by the first week in November, Those who pretend to know the 1nside workings of the president’s mind say the one thing which made him hesitate ao long before coming to a definite conclusion was the uncertainty which existed as to th position which might be assumed by soma of the southern republicans in the orgauization of the house. There is no longer any doubt. on this score, if there ever was any at all, Each and every republican from the south- ern states has been heard from. Every man among them has expressed his determina- tion to stand by the caucus and to vote for the caucus nominee for the speakership. THE SPRAKERSHIP OUTLOOK. While the preponderance of opinion - here is that Mr. RReed has a long lead speakership race, no one thinks he has se- cured enough pledges to yet scoure his clso- tion, Some of the friends of Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, say that he has developed a great deal of strength in unexpected quar. ters recently and that there 18 more reason for Mr. Reed to fear him than avy other man. The impression is gaining ground thaw ' Mujor McKinley does not care very muck whether he is elected or not, and thas in fact he would prefer to withdraw volun: tarily from the race rather 'tham ' ‘to run the risk of defeat. McKinloy undoubt- edly expects that in the event of his failuro to secure the speakership he will got the chairmanship of the committee on ways and means, and there are many reasons why this place would be more pleasing to him than the first place. As to the other positions, thero is nothing to be discovered as yet. The south will without doubt be given ooe of the 1ast, probably the speakership, not that this office is in itself more desirable than a clerk- ship or the position of sergeant-at-urms, but there is more patronage attached to iv than all the other places together. THE CONTESTED ELEOTION CASES, There is hardly a chance that the con- tested election cases can be settled before the holiday recess, but the first committee appointed will be the committee on election, as usual; after that the committee on rules has been nawed. By the time that the house organizes the public printer will have all the papers and testimony in priat, and noth- mg will prevent the early consideration of the contests. But the democrats have al- ready announced their determination to #li- buster, and uuless there aro radical changes in the rules of procedure, the filibusterers will be enabled to prevent final action for many weeks, and perhaps they may ba able to keep some of the contests on the docket during the ontire session, in spite of the extra days which will by gained by a call for the meeting of congress in November, HART LESITATES, W. H. Hart, of Frankfort, Tnd., who was recently offered the position of third auditor of the treasury, after Mr. Hurley declhined, arrived in the city last nighv and visited the third suditor's office Lo-duy in company with Congressman Cheadle. Mr. Hurt has not yot made up his mind whetheér or not he will accept the place, and will probably wait un- til the return of the president and Treasurer Huston before reachiug s determination. Mr, Hart was a candidate for the pension agency at Indianapolis, and his reasons for hesitating to accevt the place which was given hum are purely of a domestiocharacter, He does not care particularly for life in Washington, and hesitates about bringing his family here. If n¢ shall conclude to sot aside his preference for life in Indiana, ho will probably take hold of his new office early next week. NEW NEURASKA POSTMASTERS. Abbey, Hooker county, Alice S.
