Milwaukee, Denver.... St. Josenh.... Les Moines. .. Denver 8, Omahba 7. There are many queer things in base ball, as most people have probably observed. It ia a8 full of surprises and disappointments as a cocoanut is of meat and as uncertain as death. . The Omahas came home yesterday after the most successful trip of the season, never having lost a single game, and the game won at Sioux City Thursday made their eigh- teonth straight, but the time had arrived for them to rall, and in the afternoou thoy went out to the park and made a present of a bail to Dave Rowe's brawny sluggers. It was ladies’ day, and the first game for three weeks, and as a consejuence there was a large crowd on hand to clap and cheer the ‘White Sox on to victory, and while they clapped and cheered all right, hollow-eyed defeat was thewr reward, Daa Clarke pitched, and for the nonce this * most excelient twirler forgot his cunning and his speed. His spicycioids seemed to have lost their witchery—and the Mountain- eers hit him hard when a hit was most needed. But Clarke didn't lose the long ways. His conferes had after cbance to clinch vie- but they lacked the snav and the And then, too, Umpire Hurst had un off day, and it looked a8 if he had it in for the home team. Once he made a move to clean out both teams, during a dispute over one of his decisions, which unquestionably gave Denver the game, but be changed his mind and vented his wrath in shoving them about the diamond. Hurst is fine umpire, and there 18 no doubt but what ke always means right, but his conduct terday was unbecoming the dig- nity of his position. But et that pass. How could Omaha win on Friday and the 13th of the month to boot! Yet the Omahas and their hundreds of friends in the stands were never more confi- dent of success, and particularly was this the ©ase with Manager Sel who wore a smile just before the gong sounded that said as lainly as words: “Now watch me wipo ave Rowe from the face of the eartn.” Another man who wore an oroide smile was a party by the name of Darnbrough, the Denver pitcher, His grin was decorated and festooned with swift balis and deceptive curves, especially when & hit was needed to give Omaha the game. Beveral persons noticed the imp's grin, but the closest observers were the nine white legged young men who belong right here i Omaha,which 18 in the United States of Ne- braska. But this is how the catastrophe overtook us, The Omahas were retired in ono, two, three order in the first, then Denver came in made six big, full grown runs, How sad! Papa Dalrymple opened up with a safe one 1o right, but was forced atsecond on Gen- eral “McClelland’s hit to Walsh. Mac stole second and galloped home on Treadway’s three sacker. White then hitto Andrews, who essayed to throw Treadway out at the plate but failed, and the batter perched on first. He went to second on Rowe’s out, from ‘Walsh to tirst, to third on a wild pitch, and across the plate on Kirby's single. Right here Walsh made a bad throw to first of Shores’ grounder on which Kirby went to third and Shores landed safe, and both came safling in_the next moment on & splendid home run hit by Darnbrough, Twineman’s out ended the foning, but Omahs had been enveloped in quite a frost. In the third inning the White Sox made three scores. Canavan got his baso on balis. He stole second, and Clarke got to first on an error of ‘White. Canavan tricd to make third on the blunder but was nipped. Cooney followed with a base on balls, and Messitt droye both runners home on a lovely threo bagger, scoring himsclf a moment later on Crooks’ hit. In the fifth Treadway made a home run, and Omaha followed up in the sixth with two more, No more runs were made until the ninth, W;Jgu Omaha cawe iu to @o or die. They died, After Strauss’ out, Jack Crooks smashed out a home run. Then Walsh made a three bagger and followed Juck across the plate on Andrews’single. And then you ought to have heard the mul- titude yell. * Everybedy was so glad, you know, But the joy was short lived, for the Den- vers in their half knooked out a victory quicker’n you could say scat. MeClelland made a bit and so did Tread- wz, @ three bugger, and the day was lost, ere is the score, OMATIA, B R 1B 624 514 491 443 443 A4 880 game, > = Cooney, 8b. Messitt, m Strauss, rf.,.

Cuicaco, Sept. 13.—In the case of Gustavus F, Swift, of the meat packiog firm of Swift & Co., against John B. Sutplin, the mayor of Duluth, Mina., for $7,500 damages for failure of contract, Judge Blodgett rendered an interesting decision to-day. Sofe time ago the plwintiff and defendant entered into & partnership whereby the defendant was to receive dressed meats from the plainuff and sell on commission over his salary. Much meat was shipped to the mayor, but the lat- ter bemg informed of the law of Minnesota, which expressly stipulates that all meats sold in the state must be in: ted at least twenty-four hours before slaughtered, re- fusing to handle the shipments, alleging his fear of the law. The claim for damages was set up therefore because of the loss accruing 10 the plaintiff. Judge Blodgett held that the law was unconstiLutional, as the meats had been iuspected here in Chicago before belug slaughtered. Heo awarded damages to the plaintiff in the sum prayed for. e Phtbisis in France.

She testifled that sho had signed an afdavit charging Kingsley with soduction, but that she did it at the in- stigation of Billings, and because he fright- ened ner into it. She said she never admit- tea that Billings knew that she and Kinga- ley had had jmproper relations with each other, and said that she voluntarily mude a statoment exonerating Kingsloy of the charge which Billings induced her to make. At ono time during her testimouy she burst mto tears and nearly fainted, E. W. Risdon o justice of the peace, testi- fled that Billings told him that Kingsloy had seduced a younw lady, and that he had been rotained to settle the' matter. Ho said thay Kingsley must execute a_mortgage to him of all his property, including his salary, and pay some money for support of the child.

Last Wednesday he called at Mr. Barton's house and asked for a few blank checks, saying he had s0ld_somo stoves over in Missouri und some of tho purchasers might want to_givo their checks. He was furnishea with thres Llank checks and started south. Shortly afterwuard Mr. Bar- ton observed him returning north. This aroused his suspicion and he followed to Blockton, where he found that a check for $62.50, with his namo signed to it, had just been cashed, and that Blankeuship had taken the hack to Bedford. By taking a different route from the one taken by the hack be ar- rived first and was in readiness 1 make the arrest. Neither Koad Satisfled. Des Moixes, Ia., Sept. 18.—[Special Tel- egram to Tue Bee.|—The railroad commis- sioners rendered a decission to-day in what is known as the Maurice Crossing case. It refers to & point in Sioux county where tho sioux City & Northern road wants to cross, at grade, the Chicago & Northwestern road. The case involved many questions as to the probable effects of high water, ete., and the commissioners spent much time n investi- gating it, They have decided that the Chi- cago & Northwestern shall change its grade, and the Sioux City & Northern shall nake an over crossing, each to meet ils own expenses in 80 doing. As the decision was nov what cither road wanted, it is thought an appeal to tho courts will be made to test the power of the commissioners in a case of this kind. Oaught in a Fly Wheal.

A Fonr Days' Suocessfal Exhibition Closes thie Third Annual, OneruiN, Kin.,'Sopt. 13.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Hex, | —The third annual fair of Decatur county | closed this evening after a four days’ sucoessful exhibition of her fine hords of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs. It was decidedly the best represented exhit- tion of the produets of the soil ever held westof the sixth principal . meridian, and was the admiratiowf not only of the Decatur people, but also thy many harvest excursion- ists who came jn_ on the Burlington road from Towa, Illols, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Missouri, The display of live stock, farm and garden products, fine arts and ma- chinery, reminded the crowds of what they had witnessed in older states, and the groat wonder was that so newly an organized county as Decatur should make such a dis- play as she did. Thero were 1,433 entries in the secretary's books, and this, 100, by Decatur county farmers, mechanics ana business men, The exhibition of pure blooded short-horned Aberdcens, Galoway and Holstein cattle, as well s the various breeds of draft horses and roadsters, Berk- shire and Poland hogs was no doubt the best ever held at a western courty fair, The corn, oats, wheat, rye aud flold and garden products could not be excelled, go where you will. Ears of corn twelve to fifteen inches long, well filled and guaranteed to husk sixty bushels to the acre. Spring and winter wheat that threshed ull the way from fifteen to thirty bushels per acre, rye, barley and oats equally good, and potatoes, cabbages of the best and largest varieties were among tho many exhibits. Floraland Fine Art halls were well filled and tastefuily arranged, and were among the many attractions where the crowd would linger long und gaze with pleasure at the fine display, To Mrs, Isano Clark and Mrs, L. U McBride and their lady ~assistants is the credit due for this fine exhibition. Tho display of home grown fruits, such as apples, peaches, plums and grapes, though small, tell plainly that Decatur county, like her older sisters, is o good fruit county when thoroughly de- veloped. The racing and other legitimate amuse- ments were very interesting, and both farmers and journeymen went away with the satisfaction of knowing that under_the management of President M. E. Mix, Vice President M, W. Clark and their able assist- ants each and all will be fairly and honestly treated. The parade of something over one nundred and fifty of tho biooded horses, mules and cattle just before the close in front of the grand stand will long be remem- bered by the thousands who witnessed it as one of the best exuibitions of live stock ever looked upon.

Cmrosao, Sept. 13.—[Special Telogram to Tk Bee.] - A sensational sequel to the cele- brated trial and conviction of Mrs, Josie Gurley for the kidnapping of little Annic Redmond is in hand. Yesterday Harvey Gurley, her husband, was, arrested for big- amy, the charge being that he married a young lady named Bohn in June last, after bhis wife nad gone to the penitentiary. When Mrs, Guriey and her husband were first ar- rested for stealing the Redmond girl, in Fob- ruary last, they told contradictory 'stories. Mrs. Gurley ciaymed that the whole affair was a put up job to railroad her into prison 80 that Gurley could marry another woman, while nor husband said sho alone was re- sponsible for tho whole affair. Gurley’s re- cent escapade lends polor to the wife’s story, and the belief 1s gaining ground that Mrs. Gurley’s incarceration 15 the result of a con- spiracy. BALTIMOR.

Touza- lin, prosident of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern railway, died at his residence hero last night. He had been in bad health, but iniproved from offects of mountain air, and at supper time felt better than for many months. Hemorrhage of the lungs set in and he died at 11:50, Mr. Touzalin's Caroer. ‘The news of Mr. Touzalin's death was a great surprise to his fricnds in this oity, Not even his nephew, Mr. Alfred Touzalin, of the Nebraska National bank, had heard it until informed by a Ber reporter. It was understood by both the bank and the Bur- lington officials that he had greatly im- proved in health. In fact, the bank has a letter from him written the fore part of this week at Bennington in which he eaks of feeling much better. A. E. Touzalin first saw the light of day at Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies, forty-eight years ago and was the youngest of four brothers. He came to this country whilo yet a small boy, was educated on Long Is- land and entered upon his career in the rail- road business as clerk in the general freight office of the Lake Shore road in_ 1865, One year later he came west to Des Moines and ecamo chief clerk under his brother, D, V.

A Norwegian Servant Girl Dies For Lack of Medicine. New Youx, Sept. 13.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bek.|—Martha Olson, a Norwegian servant twenty-four years old, died at 205 Sackett street, Brool'yn, early this morning under circumstances which necessitated the action of the coroner.

Dr. Iord said her symptoms gave stiange evide: of typhoid fever and lefc & prescription. The girl refused to take the medicine pre- pared and still declared she would trust in no one but the Lord. Late last night he was hurriedly summoned to the house and arrived to find Martha dead. An autopsy showed that death resulted from typhoid fever.

Glowing Description of Omaha in the Newark Daily Oall. The fame of Omaha is already boginning to be spread abroad 1n the land and the af- fairs of the city are attracting much atten- tion. Some time ago Building Inspoctor Whitlock sent a copy of the annual report of the Omahia board of trade to a newspaper friond in Newark, N. J. Yestorday he re- ceived a copy of the Newark Daily Call, which contaius nearly a column write-up of this city and its advantagos, as compared with the New Jersey town, The Call relates that Omaha 18 one of the best cities 1 the United States as regards street paving, dwolls at length upon the system of waterworks, mentions the fact that in four years South Omaha has grown to be a city of 10,000 souls and compares the (contemplated) postofiice buildings. White Newark's government building will cost but £320,000, the value of the Omaha structuro will be nearly $1,000,000. The plan of hav- ing but few wards 18 especially commended. Arter reviewing at leugth the many indus- tries of the city, the article ventures the prediction that inside the mnextten years Omaha’s population will be not less than 300,000, A singular case was on trial in police court yestorday afternoon. John McElhatton and wife, Albertine Deffkom and wife.

Hence General Smith and Assistant Crowell, who represented the city in one case. were made attorneys for the defense in the others, while Attorney O'Connor occupied the same unen- viable position. The row was over a cow, which.all the partics clainied the right to milk at once, and in the argument as to prestige clubs and brickbats were freely used. The scrimmage was followed by a shower of warrants. At the conclusion of a very interesting and extremely salacious lot of ‘testimony Judge Berka fined McElhatton, Mason and Harsh $5 each and costs, and put McElhatton under a bond of $250 and his wife under a bond of $150 to keep she peace, Q A Mother at Fourteen.

About the year 1839 my grandfather was an insiaé superintendent of the Nes- quehoning mines, near Mauch Chunl, says a writer in the Philadelphia Pr At that time anthracite coal mini was conducted on a rather primitive scale as compared with the operations of to-day, and instead of the present improved safety lamp, tallow candles were used by the miners. One day during the noon hour a number of men, among them my grandfather, had gath” ered together at dinner. One of the men had stuck his candle in some man- ner fast to the wall, not noticing that immediately below it stood a large open keg of the heaviest.blasting powder. Unsuspicious of danger, the men chatted and ate their dinners. Sud- denly, without a second’s warning, the candle fell directly into the keg of powder. Lvery man threw himself on his face, expecting to be blown into atoms. But the explosion did not come. For a few awful seconds they awaiting death with hearts. Finally my ¢ **Boys, I can’t stand this any longer. am going to get that candle out of there. All of you lie just as you are.” He sprang to his féet, rushed to the keg, and there- a sight met his eyes enough to shuke the stoutest nerves, Sunk deep into the powder, but bolt uyright, stood the can- dle, with the flame a short balf-inch from the powder. Bringing all his re- maining nerve to bear, he reached down into the keg and carefully lifted the candle out, It was some time before the men could realize that they were ont of danger, but when they did they awoke the distant echoes of the old mine with their cheers. However, like the sturdy Inglishman that he was, ho pooh-poohed thom back to thewrdinners again, and said any one of them would have done the same thing, giving as his reason for doing it - that he was the nearest man to the keg. hitaldbdd S A Hawk and Snake Fight.
