There is a general feeling of regret throughout base ball eircles in this city that the local management intend to sell what- ever member of the home team they can get thew price for. So far Crooks is the ouly man who has been absolutely disposed of, unless the rumored sale of Cooney yester- @ay turns out to be true. However, the Owmaha management are not deserving of uny censure in this matter. They put up their good hurd cash to sustain theolub here, and what have they received in turn? It is unbecoming in those who have sat back to talk about what they wvould do uader the cir cumstances, when the managzement reforved to wern the only ones to do the'r share to. ward giving the city first class ball. Now they are pe willing to divide the responsibility and profits with any other capitalists or enthusiasts who sc roper to put upa little of the stuff.

Edward Kiosterman keops a grocery nnd saloon at the corner named and claims that at 1 o'clock this morning his wife was awakoued by & noise and saw & man walking toward her bed without shoes, hat or coat. She screamed, and Klosterman and his bartender came upstairs, They found a strange man ou the landing. Alexander Hunt, who was also in the saloon, came up after them and told Klosterman 1w turn the man over to him. This was done, and Hunt beat the stranger, who proved to be Captain Slattery, most brutaily, winding up by throwing him'down stairs. They then followed him out ou the street and beat him in @ terrible manner there, and when they had pounded him sufficiently took him to the police station, where the ~sergeant imme- diutely recognized him and sent for a physi- cian, who pronounced Lis injuries very dan- gerous. All parties concerned have boon placed under arrest. The assailants “claim that Slattery never spoke to thew bufore Hunt began to beat him. Slattery’s nussing clothes wero brought homo this morning. Klosterman claiming to have found them 1w the stréet. A diamond ring and _pin valued at 81.500 are missing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—[t has been aunounced in print several times during the past week taat Arclibishop Corrigan has been sum- moned to Rome by the pope. Mer. Preston was asked tius eveulng as to the trata of these reports. He replied: “You may use my name, and I8 am very glad to have it used as your authority for saying that there is 1o truth in the reports. According to one report the archbishop hus been summoned to Rome in_connection with the old case of Dr., MeGlynn, That is false. Another report says that Archbishop Corrigan has been re- quested to come to Rowe because hie does not want to sit in an American ccelesiastical tribunc said to have been appointed recently by the holy futher to try local cases, because Cardionl ~ Gibbons, of Baltimore, and Archbishop Ryan, of Dhiladeiphia, are the other members of the ' tri- bunal. It was sud that Cardinal Giobons ana_Archbishop Ryan entertained liberal views, while Archbishop Corrigan blindly adhered to the ruling of the collese of the propuganda. Therefore it was said the arch- bishop desired to be relieved of his minority place in the tribunal and was called to Rome toanswer for his _disobedienco. This is interesting, but not true. 1t is there muy bo established country a tribunal to try cases. This course may be in n|l|ll‘ t t the necessity for saling to Rome may in many cases avoided. The tribunal has not veen pointed as yet, and it is not known here, far as [ know, who may be the mem of it. ‘Tue arcuinshop has not monstrated at auy prospect that he way be appointed a member. So far as Cardinal Gibbons is coneorned added Mr, Preston, “the archbishop's views do not differ materlally from his, und as to Archbishop Ryan, he and Archbishop Corri- gan uro warm personal f What ma be the motive for spreading these false rumors 1 cannot imagino.

TIN IV THE BLACK fllLlS It Exists in Abundance and Is of Excollent Quality, ENGLISH CAPITAL COMING IN. A Milllon and a Half Alroady Ad- vanoed By a Syndicats kor the Development of the Harney Peak Proporties, Tin By the Ton. Cusrer Crry (vis Rapid City), Oct. 6.— |8pecial to Tur Bee,|—Pennington and Cus ter countics strotch across the Black Hills from east 1o west, and Harney's peak, the most lofty olevation in the Black Hills, is on the border between the two. - Surrounding Harney's peak are found” the tin deposits, which are the subject of the present letter. Northwest of the peak is Hill City, south- wost of it is Caster City, while Etta, where alone tin has been practically worked, lies to the oast of it. Custer City is situated sixty- five miles south of Deadwood, forty-five southwest of Rapid City ana some forty milos southeast of Noweastle. French cresk runs through Custer southeasterly and empties into the South Cheyenne river. Early n 1875, the miners who had been ariven out by the military ocume back in juads and soon 1,500 log houses, many of which still remaim, were crected and the population of the placo rapidly grew until 6,000 peoplo haa gathored there. The dis- covery of wold in Deadwood gulch depopu- lated Custer more quickly than it had been oceupied. This is the most, beautifully situ- ated place in the Black Hills. It lies 5,400 feet, over oue mile, above the sea on a nat- ural “open” awong the mountains which, covered with pies, surround it on every and; and in every direction lio innute able parks leading into one another for many miles, i which already are thriving farmers with an abundance of all kinds of crops ex- cept corn. All these heights are immes y rich in mineral wealth—gold, silver, copper, iron, mica, etc.—while tin, which bad been sought for in yain on our continent, 1s found in overy direction, on hill-top and at the foot of ravines, encased evervwhere with elit- toring mica in forms of surpassing beauty. In 1884 tin was found in Pennington county, and they Ktta mine was stocked in New York and about $100,000 were expended on & stamp mill and operators. A year later Mr. H. P. Moore, of St. Louis, found tin in Cus- ter county, and he obtained 1,530 ponnds of ore, which was smelted in New York and produced 8.53 per cent of white tin, amount- ing to about seventy pounds, ~Subsequently further discoveries were made. notaoly on the Tenderfoot, north of Custer City. Drifts wore made on the veins, and it may be suid that preliminary work Was gono. steadily on since that time, at last reaching the whole distriet fifteen miles from Custer north to Hill City. The lodes are generally massive and well defined through their whole length, with large and in u very rich_out- crops. ‘The Tenderfoot vict” is one of phenomenal richness on the ten or tweive veins which have been examined, and there are about Hill City numerous locations: of rarc promise on which a great deal of work has been doue,including expensive machinery and buildings that are now under construc- tion. In 1887 the Harney Peak Tin company was orguuized, only after the existence of Black Hilis tin’ had been fully demonstrated by thie best practical American and Boglish ex- perts. From that time nothing in the way of production has been done.” Thoroughiy satisfied with the results attainea with the imperfect machinery, tue company has de- voted itself to the work of acquisition and development, They some time ago shipped $,500 pounds in_one lot to England. ‘the company is now putting up reduction works ut Hili City costing $150,000, and will erect liko works at Custer City the coming season, which with the Kttamines will ba connected by a uarrow gauge railroad reaching all its locations. ‘The linghsh syndicate, of which Mr. J. Baving Gould 18 the head, have ad- vanced $1,500,000 for the development of the properties. ‘Tney are dowg permanent work —such us constructing tunnels aod erecting machinery for reducing the ore—at_ten dif- ferent points, and are actively carrying on development work at a great many other lo- cations, and already employ over three hundred enginoors and skilled workmen. On the Tenderfoot group, to take an ex- ample, work is advancing rapidly. The dif- ferent veius are bewg uncoverad, in some cuses 1o u considerable depth, and the com- pPANY Are puttin s up pormanent works at oue point. Two tunnels have been begun at Tin Reef, and two on tue Tenderfoot, where alsn the muchivery for power drills is beng put in pluice. It developments g0 ou a8 they have begun, plants for the reduction of tin ore wil be opened up, and vin will e produced early the coming season at this locality and av Hill City, Tho use of th drills will great expedit operations, These drills, like those described in my letter from the Newcastle coal mines, will effect a vast saving of time, labor and money: oue of them will drill ten feet per hour, cqual to the labor of ten skilied work- men. The principul mines on which operations are now beginning aro the Coates, Cowboy, jor and February, near Hill City: the e, and the Tin Reef, s and Dorman's, near Custer City. A visit to any of these veins will convince the most skeptical of the exi of tin alike in quantit ity and acc The veins ar vical fissure veins: e is white, muking a marked contrast with the accompanying slates, The walls are smooth and the ore is separated from the velts by clear partings, One vein which I saw was from fourteen to fifty feet thick, and it can be traced two miles, in some plices extend- ing fiftcen feet above the surrounding surface, I'he company nave 1 the course of their experiments manufactured n great doal of metallic tin, equal to the best foreign tin, beiug absolutely free from iron, arsenic and tungsten, which are the bune of the Corn- wall tins, The amount of ore obtained in the ir experiments has been elose to 4 por cent, while the English Blue Books give that of the Cornwall mines as a fraction loss than 2 per cent mens of the ore were stupped from the Tenderfoor two months ago to the Paris exposition that weizhed from three to four tous, and which are esti- muted to coutain from 15 to 20 par cent of pure tiv. In England tin_ore as low us 3 per cent is woried at a profit. The veins lis on the slope of the foothills, from 50 to 300 feet above the bottom of the canyon and they can bo worked for a num- ber of years with very littlo machinery for disposing of wator, wnd at but slight ox- pense for fuel, This peculiar location on the slopes will aiso uid in collecting the ores from the Duimerous mines at centrai mi points by meuns of a systom of gravity similar to those which are scen in the c of Pennsy|vania. tin ove is first crushed and is then con- centrated to separate the black tin frow the gorgue; the resulting mass is then mel cctly iuto bar tin, ~ Uhe best material for welting 18 a coal which gives quick, intense heat, aud prevents tho loss of tin by volatili- zation. The coal in the west side of the hiils at Neweastle is, 1n its natural state, the best possible material for reducing the block tin o & melted condition. Its coking quality will render it iuvaluable for this purpose. Prof. Builey, of the Kapid City, Dak., school of mines, when he was geologist for the ter ritory of Wyoming, made no fewer than cight hundred tests of Wyomug coals for coking purposes, and he informs me that the coal trom Newcastle gives the best coko he has anywhero found—silyer-white in color, hard and capable of sustaining any necessary weight in the furnace and carrying o high percentage of fixed carbon, and therefore of @ high reducing power, one part of Now- castle coke being oapable of ~reducing 24 310 parts of lead, while from 23to 28 is the range of the best reduc ing cokes, The Newcastle coke is also very freg' from sulphur, @ud contams but & small percentige of silica. The importance of this coke to the Black Hills minwg indus- try cun hardly be overestimuted. At Galena, at Carbonate, at Ruby Basin, ut Ball Mouat- ain, at the Uncle Sam, at Silver City, and at the Box Elder districts are lurge quantitics of smelting ores, and many of ‘the mines have spont thousands of dollars in develop- ment, At bota Galena and - Carbonate large smelters have beeu erected and have been successfully run, but they have been ‘com pelled 10 use Connelisville, Pa., coke trans- mrt«! fiom tha ovens to the end of the nll- road in the E and then hauled fifteen or twenty miles ¥y wagon to the smelter, and costing at that point from $35 to £33 per ton, The production therefore of oheap cokes almost withinghe circle of the Black Hills, and their trati€pottation by railroad to the smeltors, meanssn development unrivalled even in Colorado. It means, too, a saving of the vast supplies of wood, which are becoming nearly oxhaustod. Tha @reat minos at Load City have now to haul their enormous sup- plies of wood for fuel twenty-five miles over arailroad built solely for that purpose. With proper facilitiés ‘for transporting Newcas- tle coke into the,Hills, thecoming five years are destined to mark the beginning of A new era of develbvident and industry. There will bo the thonstinds of skilied ‘workmen and their families to be housed and fed, and all the trafiic and trade incident to the estab- lishment and maintensace of iarge settle- ments of people. Industries will spring up— tin-plate and other manufactures, the erec tion of rolling mills, with the puddling m chinery, tho blast firnaces, otc., which will ultimately ejve omployment to tens of thou sands of akilled workmen in allied and ad- ventitious branches of labor, Thero are, basides the tin around Harney Peak, scattered all through the hills as far Lead City and Newcastle inexhaustible quan- tities of low grade gold ores, of high grade refractory gold ores, of silver carbonates, of auriferous gravel, of mica, of copper and iron, while there is south of Custer City. around the hot springs, a great variety of marbles, which only await the coming of @ raiirond to be produced extensively and cheaply. —— GROWING NEBRASKA TOWNS, Rockville's Present Prosperity and t Bright Prospects, RoCKvILLE, Neb,, Oct. f.—|Special to Tae Bin. ] —Rockville is situated in the Middle Loup valley, in one of the richest farming countries west of the Missouri river.

The train ran on & special schedule arranged permancatly for Tre B flyer, and left Fremont promptly on time, Just'west of this point a freight train laden with Saturday evening’s edition of un Omaha paper intended to be the people for Sunday \as passed aud loft moping behind tar in the rear. North Bend and Schuyler reccived theit morning Bk, and woro passed before Go'clock. At Columbus another e xhilerating scene was witnessed, a large crowd having assembled in recognition of Tue Ber's stroke of enterprise, and the huge bundie of papers disappeared in a twinkling of the eye. Here coal and water were taken, and on flew the iron horse. Central City received her papers on the fly, and no other stop was made until Grand Island was reached at 8:17, the inter- modiate stations being supplied by large bundles tossed upon the station platforms, and eagerly seized by expectant throngs. Here J. K. Knapp, THE BEE'S agent, took charge of all packages destined for all points betweon this city and North Platte, and pro- ceeded on westward by the Colorado fast freight, serving Kearney with her morning BEE three hours ahead of the regular train, At North Platte the paper was delives at 8 o'clock, nearly four hours earlier th th ary time, ik Reg flyer thes St. Joe & Crand Island raiiwa arriving at her destination, 20 miles fr Omaha, at 9:15, on time to the second. The papers were quickly grabbed up here, | the spectacie about the depot being an ani- mated one. The citizens of Hastings were not uccustomed to having Tne Bee taid at their doors at such an hour, und attested their appreciation of such a boon by a lively scramble to secure a copy. At this town all the bundles intended for points cast were transferred to the B. & M. No. 2 and were thercby dehvered from an bour to tiwo hours and_thirty minutes ahead of the regular train. At Hastings the vaper was distributed seven hours ahead of other Omaha papers. This is the first time any Omaha news paper, or in fact any newspaper west of Chicaro, has ever performed such a stroke of enterprise as delivering its Sunday morn- ing cdition by special train at a distance of 170 miles, and thab that achievement was abundantly appreciated was attested by the anxious crowds that awaited the fiyer at all pounts along the line.

Moses Morrill, a_ Baptist missionary, in 1584, down to the presont day. The history of the Baptist de: nomination begins with the Rev. William Leach, who came hero s a missionary in 1855, and carned most of his sniary by pra g dentistry. Other churches wero es- tablisted by the various denominations, but they did not grow in proportion to the in. crease in population. Since tho estab. Lishment of the first actual settler on Ncbraska soil in August, iS5, the vopulation of Omaha incroased to 180,000 while the churches have increased very slowly. There aro only sixty-two church buildings in Omaha, with a seating capucity of about 17,000, The Baptist church was first organized in 1879 by the Rev. A. S, Barnes, of New York, who, with his own hands put up a small frame building. In 1866 the church was ro- organized under the Rev.W. J. Kermott, ana a frame building was erected on_the présent site. The present building was compicted 1 1850, when Dr. Jameson was paster.
