Word by wirc from a friend in Chicago yesterday afternoon furnished a cluo to the informa- tion subsequently gathered, and the public can rely upon the autheuticity of the matter treated upon, Late in the afternoon the presidont, secre- and_dircctors of the Omata base bull ssociation held a secret conclave, just where is of no particular moment, but that much that is of importauce and interest to base ball patrons is certain, A lengthy communication from Messrs. Conant and Billings, of the Hoston club, and Manager Frank Seloe, of the Omaha foam, who are now at the Grand Pacific, Chicago, received by President MeCormick sterdny morning, at once scrved as an abundant fund for discussion. Kubodied 1n this communicgtion was a proposition from ihe Boston triumyir, the exact nature of which had been furnished Tue Bee through the source above mevtioned, and which runs as follows: For a handsome sum, running way up into the thousands, Boston virtually agreos to buy the entire Omaha team, but after selecting as many of the men as they deem of use to them, out of the thirteen now on Omahw's roster, tho balance areto re- main the property of the Omaha club, to form the nucleus of a team for next year if the management here sees proper to continue tho venture, Further, out of the thirteen men constituting the Omalia club, the BoSton pacties agree to hold out eight, leaving Ouaha u bulance of five without cost. At the close of the Westorn association cham- pionship season at Milwankee next Sunday, the proposition further specifies, Manager Sclee is to tuke the entire team intact to the Hub, and the _selections will then be made after the Dboys have been sized up on the fleld “I'he price offered by Conant & Co., could 1ot be ascortained, but it is of such empung dimensions that the Omaha contingent deemed it foolhardy to ignore, and aftor thoroueh canvass of the matter it was de- cided to dispatoh Sceretary . O. Brandt to Chicago this evening for a fuller aud more “tomplete understanding with tho proposed purchas He leaves this afternoon at \:45, and is moi only autnorizod to confer withi and close the deal with Boston, but to g0 on to the Hub and be present when the eight men are selected. If this deal 18 con- summated he is further instructed to pro- ceed to Brooklyn and other eastern cities and dispose of the remaimng five mon for whatever prico can be obtained for them. Mr. Brandt is to keep President McCormick posted a8 to the result of his meeting with Canant and Billings, and not_to close the deal until he receives the final order from Thus it will be s for base ball next The directors here advance the argument that they have been induced to take tnis .step for the sole reason of the wsufficient BUpNOTt the team hus received here this sea- wson, and the fact that next season, from the outlook, means a big loss of money, inas- much us new grounds must necessarily be eoured, new buildings erected, and enorm: us oxpense incurred to even give the ven ure the faintest color of success, In lieu of coming out ahead this season, the sctule- ment made yesterday, clearly demonstrated that somebody must go down iu their pockets 10 break even. The receipts foll far short of those of last season,and without more tangible encourngement than i3 being at present ad- vanced by those who shouid take u uctive intorest in the maintain- ,onge of Omahw's base ball club, the management say they do not ‘feet justitied in proceeding further with the enterprise, They also complain bijterly that the corporations deriving big revenue by the way of transporation and other means have not shown the proper spirit, and they are tired of fattening the coffers of partivs who refuse o make any concessions or the slichtest reciprocity of favors. While the ‘Omaha ball club lost money, the cable line has reaped a bounteous barvest. This will be most unwelcome news for the Jovers of the great natioval sport in Omaha, but is inevitable unless uffairs assume o dif- rent |)&umo within the bresent weck. If the oston deal 18 mude Omaha can Dot expect jany base ball next year at least. The fran- chise will have to be purchased by other par- ties, and the arduous work of banding to- Rother a new team gone through with before there cau be a resumption of the sport here. Who is there among Omaba's monied men who wants to gointo such aspeculation in the Fuce of the present team's past two_ seasons experience? Can anybody answer? Just now At would be a dificult matter to name a sin- gle one, Base ball to-day is as much a vusi- ness as any other cluss that goes to make up *ho " great’ mercantile world. Men invest thelr money in base ball nowadays like they o in stocks or real estate, with the expecta- tion of realizing on tho investment, and not for the purpose of furnishing u few hundrads & couple of hours’ sport every afternoon or 80, and settling up ut the close of the season at about the individual rate of 5 a eawe or more. That becomes irksome. 1ase ball has made many a wan and broke many an- other.

It will simply bo a transfer to new sets of directors who will conduct afiairs in a more liverat and advantageous manner.

Des Moixes, Tn., Sopt. 21.—|Special Tele- gram to Tur Bre.]—Some recent erroncous statements have been sent out from Fort Dodge in regard to tho grave of the well- known showman, “Yankoo Robinson.” A letter from Jefferson, la., gives the true facts in the case.

Upon his arrival at Jefferson he ‘was very ill, and he also ascertained that his 80n was not in Jefferson. “Yankee' was taken to the Head house, and, without monay and without friends, the outlook was very sor- row!ul for him.

Thomas Cole, pastor of the st Dallas Street M. Ei church at Houston,is in thecity attending the colored Sunday school conventjol, says the Galveston News. Rev. My. Cole is the victi:n of a very peculiar fucuk of nature, and from a black man is rapidly turning white. He says the change began to first mani- fest itsolf in 1883, when he was work- ing for the late Dr, McClanahan of this city. It fivst wppeared in a little white spot on his wrist. Since then the vhite surface has begn to enlarge and spread all over his bory:in spots of various di- mensions, from . soven inches in length to three or four inches in width down to spots not larger than the circumfer- ence of u large 5izp bird shot. He says his body is stpiped like a zebra. His hands ave neargr white than black, and his face is beginning to turn, making him & very conspieuous object. He being naturally very black in cotor, the contrast is all the more strik- ing. As he is attracting a good deal of public attention, and being avoided as a leper, he called at the News office last night to ask that the statement be made that his physical peculiarity is the re- sult of a freak of nature, and not caused Lioss. nest Welling- was killed by a Branch to-uight. when Branch king his ueck. by any diseass, He has always been perfecily healthy and has never suffered the least physical inconvenience in con- sequence of this pecular freak that nature is playing upon him, B Tt A Magnamiaois Thief.

Another meeting will be held this morning, at which it is expected qhat an agrecment w be reachied by which Contractor Coots may continue his work at once. The special committee appointed to inv tigate the complaint of J. A. Naugle & C charging Chairman Balcombe, of the board of public works, with being too badly preju- aced against cedar bibek pavement to fairly inspect the same, preseated n report. The document is as predicted by Tag Ber at the closo of the inve: gation last week, und finds that 80 far us the personal charges against the chairman are concerned they are mot sustained as his actions were approved by the board. The committes considers, how- ever, that the instructions of the board to the inspectors are too severe in justice to both coutractor and taxpayer, and recom- mends that the board of public works allow the contractors to use all good blocks that are now on the track 1n cars already sawed 48 the committee finds that not more than 10 per cent. of them at most should be rejected. The roport _was adopted after some dis- cussion, Mr. Lowry alone opposing it. He wasn't -on_the committee and wanted the whole matter rehashed and rehearsed befor e the council us a committee of the whole.

Mr. Boyd feeling the necessity of dowg something to cement his imagined cinch of the labor vote introduced the followiug, which was adopted ; Resolyed, That no one but skilled and competont mechanics be employed in the construetion of the city hall builaing to do mechanical work thereon; the question of skill and competency 1o be determived by the unions of the wechanics in Owmulia 1n tho line of mechauical work proposed to be pe formed by any such mectianics; and that the uumber of hours coustituting a day’s work be regulated by the rules of said ucions respocuvely, A The board of public works was instruct ed to advertise for bids, for two weeks, for the paving of Thirtieth street from Bristol north to the city limits and Twenty-fourth and Twentieth streets from Vinton south to the city limits. These streets were loft out of the original advertisment for paving in the various aistricts ordered paved. Mr.Counsman offered & sweeping resolution instructing the street commissioner to make all of the unpaved streets in the city limits passable. The resolution was referred to the committee on grades and grading. Street Commissioner Kent reported the expenditure of §707 on street work for the week enling Saturday, september 12.

B, H L, for furnishing coal for the city officos. The contract with Ed Callahan for grading Twonty-second street from St. Mary's avo nue to Loavenworth screet, was rescinded on account of a lack of funds. A protest against_the proposed grading ot Park streot prevailed and proceedings in that direction ordered stopped. Tho proposed opening of Twenty-first streetto Grant was considered too expen- sive for indulgence at present and was in- definitely postponed. Two ordinances woere presanted for the croation of a third polling precinct in the Sixth. ward. One of them places the oast boundary of the proposed procinct at Thir- tioth stroeot and the other proposes to start it at Thirty-third streot. This question of boundary has been the cause of considerable contention among the Sixth ward voters, The council did not feel equal to the emer- gency and reforced the matter to the Sixth ward delegation, Ordinances were passed ordering the pav- ing of Twenty-sixth avenue from St. Mary's avenue to Halt Howara street, ordering the grading of Smith, Reed and Burton streets, ordering lot 7, block 8, Parker's addition placed “upon the tax list for 1889, cancolling the tax of 1838 against the Omaha oil and paint company, declaring the necos- sity of oxtending Thirtoenth street to the city limits on tho south, ordering the paving of Twentieth street from Vintoa to Van Camp’s addition with cedar blocks on sand and plank, - JENNY LIND'S GRAVE, The Simple Monument Which Marks the Nightingnle's Linst Home. Mr. W. J. Florence, when heard from day or two ago, was at the Springs, Malvern, among the beautiful Glouces- tershire hills, says a London corres- poudent of the New York World. He was in glorious health, and on the firsy day of this month he visited the grave of Jenny Land,in the quiet cemetery of that retired country village. The last resting place of the Swedish Nightin- gale 18 marked by an unpretentious monument only six feot high and sur- mounted by a simple granite cross. Just below tho cross is a white marble medallion, a foot in diameter, in which is cut a winged lyre, encircled by wreath of roses. The motto “Lxcelsior” stands out in raised letters from the up- per stone of the pedestal. This is the inscription on the monument: In Loving Memo JENNY MARIA Lixn, Wife of 0110 GOLDSCHAIDT, Born at Stockholm, Oct. 6, 1820, Died at Wynde Point, Malvern, Nov. 2, 1887, The clogely eut grassof eme: 1s inclosed by a low iron fence feet square.

The latest *“‘drop-n-nickel-in-the-slot” machine to make its_public appearance is a device calcuiated to make the unen- lightened observer believe thaf the evil oneis behid it, says the New York Times. Itisa neat little nickel-plated instrument set up on & polished wooden pedestal, and will tell any man’s age— nd any womin’s too—with an invaria- ble nccuracy that is startling. The in- strument itself isabout twelve inches in height, and in its.face are set six verti- cal rows of figures, running in an un- even, jerky way from #ve to eighty. Over each column is a sort of little pis- ton rod, with a flat metal top. The printed directions tell you first to drop your nickel in the slot, then pross your foot hard down on a little pedal that projects from the base of the ped- estal. This dono, you ave instructed by a printed slip that pops out beneath tho fizures to press with your fingers the piston rod over cach of the colums which contain two figures in your age. Thus, if you are twenty-six years old, say, you find that number in one of the columns and press down the rod. Im- mediately there pops into view the fig- ure 8. You look for another column with twenty-six in it, press the rod and the figure i0 comes quickly out. Then you find another 26 in anofher column, bross the rod and 8is the vesult. Add 8,10 and 8 together aund you discover that you are iwenty-six years old. It 1s very simple, and if you ave houest with it the machine vever fails. The arvangement of the figures so that the age of a guesser may be discov- ered is a very old scheme. but it has never before ‘been mechanically devel- oped. e Dr. Hammon i's Gaveer, A poetical story is that of the of the retired surgeon-general in Wash- ington city, says the Boston Globe. A little over tweuty-five years ago Dr. Hammond was uppointéd to that im- portant post by President Lincoln on the recommendation of General MeClol- lan and the sanitary commission, He had been opposed by the secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton, aud for three years Mr. Stanton was hostile. At the end of that time Dr. Hummoud wus charged with excecding his il au- thority, which he did do and admits having done, and with not exercising due care to prevent contractors from defrauding the government. A court martial acquitted him, but another one wus recommended and the doctor was convicted, sretary Stanton fought him continuonsly, but at his death-bed he said he had ‘done the surgeon-gen- eral a great injustice, and would rein- state him if he could. Congress author ized President Huyes to reopen the ease. This was done and Dr. Ham- mond was reinstated, The finding w Rheumatism, BEING duo to the prosence of urio acidin the blood, is most effectually cured by the use of Ayer’s Sursapa- rilla.

This question of pay was disoussed in congress. The bill retiring the doctor had passed the house; in the senato objection was made that Dr. Hammond wanted merely the salary of his position. I1toscoe Conk- ling &purned the msinuation for his old friend. All that the surgeon-genorat wanted was vindication. He said, in 1864, that ho would be back in Wash- ington in twenty-five years, Ho is. Dr. Hammond’s yonrly income from his practice is about” 875,000, and he has perhaps 85,000 a year earned with his pon for pin money for Mrs. Hammond, He sold his house on West Fifty. fourth stroet 1n Now York to Chuunce M.
