The White Sox were out dallying with the prohibitionists again yosterday afternoon, running away with thew by a score of 18 to 7. They will go out and do it some more this afternoon, It was ladics’ day, and as a consequence the attendance was good The game, however, was a bore. Hart was in the box for the visitors, and he received a fearful lambasting. ‘The boys it him just when and where they pleased. Sixteen hits with a total of twenty-seven bases, and eight bases on balls, is the size of his afternoon's achievement. And Captain Macullar said he would beat us. But Captain Macullar is a prevaricator of the deevest dye. Willia opened up as Omana's delivery end of the battery, and did fairly well, barring his wilduess. ' He allowed the children from Towa's capital but four hits and struck out seven, Ho gave seven of them bases on balls, however, and the fifth Daddy Clarke relieved him, But one run was scored of Dad—a aues- tionable homer over the right field fence by the descendaut of the mau who discovered Virginia. It was foul by a hulf foot, Hurst didn’t think so. This made Clarke hot, and he told Tim that he was evincing the primary symptoms of docomposition. Tim smiled blandly and cautioned Dad to }((‘cp busy or the grand stand might fall on . Then the game went on, Dad knocking them out as fastas they toed the score will tell the story oMAMA.

A LIST OF THE CANDIDATES. Nhnr!n‘l‘n Members of the Salvation Army Arrested and Jaited at Covington—Many Burge laries in the State. The Second District Vacanev. Hasrives] Neb,, August 21.—(Special to Bk |-~The remains of Congressman James Laird have been resting intheir final depository but forty-eight hours; but the contest for his vacant seat in congress has alroady commenced, Nearly every county in the Second congressional district has its own favored son, and the wires for the ap- profiching campaign are being lnid thick and fast. The list of candidates embraces the names of N. V, Harlan, John M. France and Judge Post, of York county; J. W. Dawes, Judee Morris and Gear H. Hastings, of Saline county: Judge Norval, of Seward; Seuator John B, Dinsmore, of Clay; John Jausen, of Pillmore ;Secretary of State Laws, of Red Willow; G. R. Chwney, of Webster; Smith Calawell, of Nuckolls; Judge Gaslin, of Harlan J. W. McNinny, of Webstor. Tee names of some of the men above men- tioned may be disposed of in a brief sen- tence. Unless the course of political events takes a sudden and alogether unexpected turn, the names of France, Post, Dawes, Morris, Jausen, Caidwell, Dinsmore, Chaney, Gaslin and MeNinny may be wi from the slate at once. The real ¢ will in all probability be a triangular one, between Harlan, of York, Hastings, of line, and Laws, of Kked Willow. All three of these gentlomen have strong claims upon the consideration of the people of the dis- trict. or six years York county has had a candidate for the congressional nomination, In 1584 France was pushed to the front and kept thero until the Laird men demou- strated their strength. In 1856 Post was sclected to carry the banner of York iuto the convention and he, to, suc- cumbed to the inevitable. In 1888, unothing daunted by the defeats of former campaigns, York entered the lists with another candi- date in the person of Judge Harlan; but Harlan withdrew on the eve of the con- vention. Now that Laird is out of the way York county sees an_opportumty and will do her best to seizoit. Harlan will undoubtedly be the first choice, with Post as a conven- ient second. Between George H. Hastings, of Saline county, and the late Congressman Laird, the warmest friendship existed. In the con- vention of 1856 Mr. Hustings was selected by Mr. Laird as temporary chairman, and in 1588, 1o Hastings was entrustod the' letter of acceptance prepared by Mr. Laird in lieu of the customary speech. There has long been & tacit understanding between the friends of the two men that when Mr, Laird was content 1o decline further congressional honors, Mr. Hastings was to be the heir of his political estate. Now that death has in- tervened it remains to be seen how strong this bond of friendship was. Another point whieh will be urged in favor of Hastings is tho fact thatlast fall he veremptorily de- clined to be a candidate for attorney general and threw his eatire strength to Lecse, the people’s favorite. This action of Mr. Hast- ings made him many friends over the dis- trict. ‘The western counties feel that they are entitled to recognition, and they will come into convention for Laws. At present writing the situation is rather chaotic. H. Hostwick, chairman of the con- gressional central committee, has been in New York for sevesal months and has oot yetreturned. J. W. Stark, secretary of the committee, will hardly call that body to- gether until he hears from Mr. Bostwick, who is expected home every day. A great deal depends, 0o, upon the decision of Pres- ident Harrisom.in rezard to a special session of congress. If congress is called in October a speciil election will be calied. If not, the successor to Mr. Laird will undoubtedly be chosen at the general election in November. Outrageous Treatment. Daketa Ciry, Nob., August 21.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—One of the greatest outrages which has been perpe- trated as yet by the Covington authorities— and they are noted for the lack of justice ‘with which they enforce law even as they interpret it—was committed at that place last evening by the incarceration in their calaboose of sixteen men and three women, members of the Salvation Army, who were on their way to their hall in South Sioux City to hold a meeting. As they were ing through Covington they were arrested by order of several of the members of the board of trustees and placed in jail, consist— ingjof a steel cage with three cells, In one of the cells was a thief and & drunken bum, the women were placed in another, whilo the sixteen men were placed in a cell 12 by 16 feet and there remained until 10 o'clock to-day. There was nothing between the cell occupied by the woman and that occupied by the men but bars, which divided the apart- ments of the cage. When the news of the arrest was carried to South Sioux City sev- cral of the citizens of that place went to Cov- ington and offered to give bond which was good for $15,000 if reguired for their appear- ance, and usked for their release, and were not only refused but were abused even to blows and driven from the town. The offi- cers who arrested them and put them in the calaboose nsed language which men would not be called upon to listen to. They were tried this wmorning upon the charge of u breech of the peace in Covington. They were all acquitted. Even Covington people, who can stand a great deal, condemn this outrage.

The Ex-Deteotive Thought to Be On the Verge of a Confossion. SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF INSANITY. | The Doubt and Anxiety ot His Pres carions Position Proving Too Much For Evon His Nerve. Another Confession Expected. Ciicago, - August 21.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bek.| ~Thoro is considerablo ground for the bolief that Dan Conghlin, who has all along been regarded as tho man with the most backbone awong the Cronin suspects, i on the vergo of u confession. In addition to the fact that the imprisonment has told so soverely on Couzhin'that he is daily losing flesh, the wental strain upon the man has be. came 8o obvious that those who have daily intercourso with him believe that he is bor- dering on insamty. He is mghtly the viem of terrible dreams that causo him to start up from nis sleep with oaths and sometimos With shrieks upon his lips, In the daytime ho is moody and taciturh, and spends most of the time alone in his cell. But cven more important aud significant than this is the fact that on no less than three occasions did he suddenly call his warden to his cell door and tell him to intorm States Avw terney Longonecker that he wantod to see him, = On ull these oceasious, however, Coughlin changed his mind and countor- manded his order before the warder hud time to convey it to Mr. Longenecke: *“There is 1o doubt that Coughlin is on the voint of making u clean breast of everything and throwiug himself upon the mercy of the state,” sid a gentloman who hus been prom- inently identified with the prosecution, “lue doubt and auxicty of his precarious condition is proving too wmuch for him, sad the attitudo of tho stutes attorney, who has left him wione ever sinee his imprisonment, and of whose plans aeither he nor his coun- sel have been able to learn anything, has put him in a condition of almost unbearable ap- prehension.” But there is a more poteut influence than the sweat-box, or solitude, or meatal agony, or even than fear of the scaffold at work upon \oughlin’s iron nerve and stony heart, and that is the influence of his wife. 1uis stated upon excellent authority that Mrs. Coughlin has for some time been pleading with her husband to make a full confession 2o upon the stand s . witness for the state and thus save bis neck from the noose. Itis said that the woman nas told Coughlin that it is necessary in oraer to save her life, as well as his. that he should take this course, and this, more tnau anything clse, has con: tributed to break down the clansman’s nerve and bring him within a measurable distance the state’s to use husband, ey told M herinfluence under a promise thatif she succoeded b would bo given immunity, could not be as certuined to-day, for Mr. Longenccky refusdd to speak in rogatd to this point 1t is still believed that when the case is called by the state on Monday next the de- 1L appeal for a_ postponement until 1 on the ground of insufliciont prepa- ration. It is also said that efforts ure being made 10 secure th of prominent castorn lawyers in behalf of somo of the ac- cased men.
