Xy THE OMAHA ‘DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, ‘MARCH 13, 1300 IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. Dingloy Passes Reading and Loads by Three Laps. FRIDAY NIGHT'S FISTIC EVENT. the Ball Cleary Coming—MeHugh the Brooklyn Handicap, Miscellancous Gossip, aek —Mike ixplains nd Affairs at Dingley Takes the Lead. ‘There was an unlooked-for chunee in the standing of the racing bykers at the Coli- sotim lnst, night, and the outcome of the strugglo is now nighly problematical. All day Reading suffered from dizzinoss snd cramps, which grew out of his fall the night vefore. 1o was compelled to dismount sev- eral vimes and during thess intervals Ding- ley redoubled his exertions and pulled up even with the soldier. The Minneapolis man feols confident of coming out ahead. He safid lust night that he told his backer when he was lumenting his il fuck of the first day that the race wasn't over yet, and that the tremendous exertions Ioading had been making were sure to tell on him, and so they have, and this morning Dingley will start on a little bettor than even terms with him, Jack Kinneman, Reading's trainer, romarked the fiuish last night that Reading came in in better shape than he bad been during the whole day, To- Tuorrow, he says, he cxpects him to be all right again, and predicts that he will soon take a commanding lead again. There are but few, however, who share in Kinneman's sanguine opinion, and the prevailing idea seems to be that Dingley will yet pull out the victor. “The attendance is increasing every even- ing and a good crowd is assured from this out. The score: Miles. Laps. 156 6 456 9 Reading Dingley After a Date with Peter. The Coliseum management are negotiat ing for the “Parson” Davies pugilistic com- bination of which Peter Jackson, the Au- straliun, is the star. If a date is made, it will be for some time during the last weok of the present month, At the Ball Park. The ground tender has everything at the ball park looking as bright and clean as the proverbial new pin. Every vestigo of rub- Dish has been cleared away, all the rents in the fences, bleachers and grand stand ro- paired and everything will be 1n apple-pie order for the great game with Cleveland April 2. Thereare some additioaal improvi ments to be made, but none that will delay the opening of the season. 1t wouldn't be & Dad idea to give the big, ponderous roller a few engagements in the vutfield of the park. 1t is a trifie rough and uneven in some places yet, and should be attended to at once. Mike Cleary Coming. Mike Cleary, the blg middleweight, is in St. Louis and will be the guest of Omaha frienas several days next week. Cleary is in great condition, so kis friends say. While he has donea goud deal of fighting in the heavyweight class, he is only a large pattern middleweight, but'a man whose science and cleverness compares favorably with any pugilist living. He has no fights arranged and will probably only be too glad to test Juck Davis' prowess. = At any rate an effort will be made to arrange & €0 between them. ntam McHugh Explaias Cixeisyats, 0., March 12.—[Special to Tug Bee|—Frankie McHugh, the local bantam pugilist, returned from New York tonight. He denies the report that he got out of New York to avoid o mecting with Dixon, or Kelly, the Harlem Spider. Ho asserts they would not fight in New York, and his bickors refused to let hin go to Boston. ke says further that Dixon will have to meet him before the spring wanes.

A New Baseman. The Omaha management has finally suc- ceeded in purchasing the release of Kearns, the London, Canada, second baseman, and the necessary funas to close the aeal were forwarded yesterday morning. Kearns has not signed with Omaha as yet, but there is no danger of his not doing so, as he 18 anxious to play here. A coutract was also for- warded him and he was notified, in the event tuat ho was satisfied with the erms offered, 0 sign and roport here March 4. ‘The signing of Kearns moauns that Canavan will be seut buck to his home position, that of left-field, which will be welcome news 10 all the fans, because he is regarded o the greatest ieft-flelder in the association, dines will fill the middle garden, and either ‘Willis or Strauss the right. Koarns, the prospective new man, is o great one, being not only a secona_baseman, but a fine catcher and all-round player. He 1s bound to become a favorite. He is a grand field fust baso runner and a good cateher, and so altozether the local team has made a ten-strike in his securement. Dad Clarke writes that he will reach Omaha wbout Thursday of next week. Presidenty McCormick, Manager Leonard aud players Cleveluna, Willis and Abbey, together with Omaha’s new pitcher, Bays, took a turn at Hart and Kilgalion's hand ball eourt ‘Tuesday afternoon. Hays gave a sample of his pitching to Charlie Abbey’s cutohing. aud the general verdict as to his capabilities in this line was extremely favor- able. Ho has lots of speed, tolerable good eurves, but what 18 more than all, fine con- trol of the ball. Elmer Cleveland thought particulurly well of the young man, and says b thinks he will make a good man, Manager Leonard has sent notifications to all the Omahia players to report here on or before the 25th, Morion Usptures Meyers. Catcher Moyers has signed with Minne- apolis, and the ball cranks up there are in high feath Morton has been trying to get hold of Meyers for a long time, as have also several other clubs, especially Von der Ahe, who has offered almost every induce ment to securo the groat catehor, To Billy arroll belongs the credit of securing him r Morton, Meyers and_Carroll are great friends, and were desirous of playing to gether. Meyers played with Buffalo in 1855 nd 158 a8 backstop for Galvin, In 187 and 1588 he was with Minneapolis, catching Burdick ana Hoyle. ~ He is a fino catcher and an excollent_all-round - player, and will be paired off with Duke for the coming sea- won. Moyers signature cost the Minnespolis club just #1,000, The Dalv-Monr, Ml Dan Daly, of Bangor, Mo., and Dick Munro of Omgha meet for a twenty-round contest in the squared circle at Germania hall, South Omaha tomorrow night. The Dattie will bo for & $200 purse and the gate reccipts. Hoth men are in great fighting fig, aud 4 rattling mill will bo the inevitable i result.

The Wall Street Wizard to Wed a Young Widow. New Yorxk, March 12.—|Spocial Telegram to Tix Bee]—The semi-official announce- meut is made of the matrimonial engage- ment of Jay Gould and Mrs. Maurice B. Flynn. The gossips have for several woeks been wuiting for official confirmation of what appeared to be a'surprising rumor, and which has now sssumed the form of actual- ity. Those who know both Mr. Gould and Mrs Flynn, who by the way 1s the daughter of Theodore Moss, were surprised to hear that the financier and the contractor's widow were even acquainted, but the more intimate fricnds of Mrs. Flynu’s family have known of the acquaintance and of the vari- ous sorvices that Mr. Gould had performed for Mrs. Flynn since her husband’s death, and were therefore not 8o much surprised at tho possible outcome of the situation. Maurice B. Flynn died last year and tho aftairs of the estate wero found after his death to be in a_somewhat discouraging and unfortunate condition, He had got inter- ested in the streot raiirond system of Rich- mond, Va., and had invested a good deal of money down there. It is said that at this time Mrs. = Fiyon went 1o Jay Gould, with whom she was taen well soquainted, and asked him for advice and couasel rogarding what she haa better do, and he took up the matter personally so that her affairs in Richmond are declared now to be in a very satisfactory condition. Mrs. Fiynn is still a fine looking woman, with flashing dark eyes and rather wavy hair. She is probably twenty-five or twen ty-six years of age. She had one sister, tho wife of Arthur Wallack, who died about eighteen months ag Her father, Theodoro Moss, 18 well-known both in Wall street and theatrical life. ['or years he was associated in business with the late Lester Walluck, aud is now the lessee of tho Star theater, and is understood to be interested finan- cially in Palmer's tneater. His veutures in Wail street, which were originally suggested by Willlam R. Travers and Leonard Jeroa.e, arc said to have always been singularly for: tunave. When Mrs. Flynn came down from ner house at Irvington she rented handsome apartments near Central park and is to be soen driving out every pleasant day. The Story Lenied. Nuw Yonrk, March 12.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bee.)—This afternoon Theodore Moss, father of Mrs, Flynn, denied emphati- cally that there was any truth in the story. Jay Gould and George Gould are in the west making a trip of inspection over the lines of the Missouri Pacific. Mr. Edwin Gould is 1n town and declarcs that there is no truth in the rumor that his father is to marry Mrs. Flynn. - FELL DEAD AT HER FEET. A Despondent Man Suicides in the Fresence of His Wi Wirkessanne, Pa., March, 12, —([Special Tologram to Tue Brk. | —Good-bye, “Jenuie; 1 must leave you. Do the best you can with the chiidren,” So spoke John B. Pettibone to his wife last eveaing, kissing her as he spoke. He then walked back u few feet, placed a pistol to his head, firea and fell forward dead at her feet. It was the closiug act 1o a struggle of some months against want, inability to provide for his family, despondency aud despair. He died without one cent in the world, yet his immediate relatives, his father, his uncle and his aunts, are people rich 1n this world’s goods, with wealth greater than they can ever use. John B.

SOMETHING MUST SOON BE DONE A Fearful Upheaval Predicted if the Pohicical Rights of the Colored Man are Not Protected, The South Today. Hon. John L. Webster, who has fust re- turned from the south, was sought for an interviow yesterday. He was asked for the impressions which the peoble und the cities south had made upon him, and for a frank statoment of the true poliuical conditions which prevail in the land of Dixie. “My trip to the south was an interesting one to me,” began Mr. Webster. ‘It gave me an insight iuto southern life and southern politics that could not be gathered from newspaper reading. “The cities of Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta have about them an air of growth and prosperity that compares very favorably with the northern cities of like size. Chattanooga is destined to be- come & very large city. In the opinion of many southern gentlemen, in will become the most important of the inland commervial and manufacturing towns in the south. Muny northern people have invested capital in Chattanooga and Atlanta. The percentage of increase in population and in wealth in these cities since the war has been more than in any other southern city, with possibly the oxception of Birmingham, Ala, Northern people have created and wre carry- 1ng on a real estate hoom about Chattanoogs, and have laid out new town sites and built 1ron furnaces as a nucleus for towns_to such an _ extent that the valley between Lookout mountain and Mission Ridge 18 practically covered over by one city, The landscape views from Cameron hill and Lookout mountain are the finest that I have over seen. About two hundred delegates to the Republican League convention took the trip from Nashville to Chattanooga, ‘The citizens of Chattanooga gave us a reception that was in every way commendable. A public meeting was held in the opera house in the afternoon, and addresbes of welcome were made to us. The house was filled with ladies, as well as gentlemen, The Nebraska delegation alone went to Atlanta. We were there received by & committee of citizens, who drove us about the city, to_show us all points of interest, and tho sights of the battle fields uround there. In the afternoon we wero taken ‘1o the resi- dence of Colonel Buck, who iovited in a large number of ladies and geiitiemen to re- cewve us, and we were hospitably entertained with an elegant luacheon.” Atlanta compares very favorahly with Denver. ‘The business houses are comparatively new and the stroets are solidly built up with brick struct- ures. - “The country between Chattanooga and Atlanta is uninviting. Tae ling of railway between the two cities runs through an al- most coutinuous_ line of battle fields, where were waged the tierce contests of General Sherman upon the federal side and General Joseph E. Johnson upon the confederate side. Itis an historic country, but the soil is poor and the hubitations are very few. THE POLITICAL QUESTION ‘Tho political condition of affairs in Georgia is startling to a nortbern man, “There is only oue question considered, and that is: Shall the negro be permitted to vote and have his vore counted ! In the one sense itis purclya race question. The colored people are all republicans and want to vote the republican ticket. Nearly all of the whites vote the democratic ticket, mensure it is & social question. 1 can no better describe it than by suying, in sub- stance, what a_few leading men s2id to me. “General Lewis, who isa retired army ofticer, living at_Atlanta, said that where a republican meeting was called that it was monopolized by the colored peonle. The colored peonle would elect their chiirma the colored people would do the talking, and would serve on the committees. Ihis was not because the colored people had any anti- pathy toward the whites—but simply be- cause they were in the - majority in such ' meeting They did no more than the white people do in the north, where the white peopie are iu thé mujority and the colored people in the minority. The tendency of this thing was to arive the white pcople away from the republican ranks, The democrats usa this ns a_means of disgusting the white people with the colored supremacy. If & white man partici- pated in any such meetings, the dcuiocrats would seek to ostracise him, and his wife and daughters, from society. This bitter feeling is carried to such an extent that many white republicans are afraid to take an active part in politics for fear their wives and daughters shall be excluded from social life. The resultof thisis that there are many white men in the south, who are re publicans at heart and in sentiniont, who do not dare give public expression to their opin- 1o In a Upon the other hand,the democrats do not wunt any of the colored people 1o vota the democratic ticket. They give as a reason that it a portion of the colored people should vote the democratic ticket, or meot iu the democratic assemblies, that then the demo- cratic party would be subject to the same criticisms which are hurled at the republi- cans, ‘U'neaim of the democratic party is to array the whites, us a mass, against tho col- ored voters. It the opinion of General Lewis that if the colored vote could be di vided, then the dificulty would be solved. He is in favor of having republican organ zations, composed entirely of white men, and thereby scek to divide the colored vote, and that thereby bublic menliu{n ‘may be held, in which the white people of the republican party might have the whole control,and thus force the democrats, likewise, to'associate with the colored people in the daemocratic meetings, and thus destroy or neutralize tho race discrimnation. “Colonel Buck, who is the United States Marshal for Georgia and a man of high re- pute and unquestionable reputation, 1s of the opinion that unless some steps shall soon be actively taken to secure the right to the colored people to vote and o have their vote counted, as_ cast, that their will bean up- heaval in Georgia, Alabama and the Caro- linas that will be fearful to contemplate. ‘The reason for tnis is the fact that the dem- ocratic party has the control of the party machinery, the polls and the ballot boxes, and either latimidate the blacks sp that they are atraid to vote—or if they do vote—that their votes are either throwa out or not counted. The colored people know this fact. When they shail become a litule further ad~ vanced in proverty, wealth and education, 80 a8 to have a higher appreciation of their constitutional right to exercise the elective franchise, in the same manner that the wiite people excrcisa it, they will rise up and assert that right, by physical force, “Colonel Buck went so far s to say that he would not recommend a republican from the north to come into that locality to live, if he had daughters to raise and educate, for fear that they might meet with this destruct: ive social and political force, before tneir life should be ended, He further stuted that, notwithstanding the fact that he had the personal respect of the dewocratic party that, nevertheless, if the democrats came Lo feel that Lis presence necessarily interfered with their power to coutrol the eloction: that they would put him out of the wuy. He said that his life had been threatened on more than oue occasion, and thut it required more courage to go through the politioal contests that he had gone through in the state of Georgia, than was required of him to go through o battle as colonel, commuud- g bis regiment. “Tnero are other republicans in the south who &0 along as loaders of the republican party on strictly party ‘principles, who do not ‘huve any settled convictions as to the linerof policy to be pursued to save that portion of "the country from impenchng trouble, “The executive committee of the National league was obliged to meet this auestion and 80lve 1Y, 1n & measure, a8 between two oon testing delecations from South Carolina. Mr. Brayton, who is chiairman of the repub- lican central committee of the state of South Carolina, and who is also 8 member of tne republican national committes, represented the radical side of the republican party, in principle and sentiment. He is the teader of Whe republican party in South Carolina, l regardless of the color lime. Auother dele- gation, headed by Mr. McLain, represented what they callod the ‘independent republi. can’ party—which means nothing more nor less than the ‘white mun’ republican party. “Investization disclosed the fact that the republican party in South Carolinn, as woll a8 in Georgla, is whvided. One branch of it is in favor of leaving the blacks and whites in the same clubs and organizations, and the other branch of it is in favor of clubs con- trotled by the white men. ‘w'he reasons for this division are tho same as those heretofore “From all r} information tiat I could wather from talking with a large number of people, I camo tr-the conclusion that there ©XIStS 10 personal antipathy botween the two races; that,” strictly speaking, there is no race question tn the south. The real aim on the part of “the democratic Darty is to keep control of ¥e politics of the south, and to do that the demooratic organization ro- sorts to threats and intimidation toward tho colored people—and murder whero neces- sary, Finally, when 1t is actually found that the republicad vote cast 18 large enough to change the result the republican votes aro thrown out and election frauds practised. *‘Thero are no leading republicau papers in the soutn, and the result is that the whole truth touching these election frauds is never reported to the northern people. Citizens of Atlanta said to me that if they had a repub- lican papor, established on a strong financial 80 that it could bear tho burdens of financial losses until it had become thor- oughly established, apd conducted by an editor who would tell the truth about these election frauds, that it would come nearer to working a revolution in republican sentiment throughout the country than any other means that could be resorted to. “It {8 my ovinion that this trouble can never ba settled right, and with perfect safoty to the lives and homes of the people liviog in the southiern states, until it shall become an established fact that every citizen in the south, as weil as in the north, shall be permitted to vote as he pleases and to have that vote counted as cast—so that the rulers shall reprosent the will of the major- ity. This is asking nothing more nor iess than the protection to each citizen of his constitutional right to exercise the elactive franchise. No state or country can remain republican if the votes of the majority are fraudulently suppressed. 1f the people of this country do not come to seo this thing in this light and to act accordingly, it mo” not be a generation until life and liberty may be subjected to anarchy and bloodshed in some of the southern states,” peaect o IO, WATERS RAPIDLY RISING. n by (lnnur.ig Lawis The Peril Afong the Lower Missis- sippi Greatly Increased. Sr. Louvis, Mo., March 12.—Flood news from various points along the Mississippi river and other streams this morning is that the White and Black rivers in Arkausas are overflowing the country on each side for miles. As heavy rains continue to fall a general inundation is looked for. At Fort Smith, on the Arkansas, a rise of over eighteen feet took place in twenty-four hours, and at last accounts it was gaining at the same rate. This ~ ereat rise adds to. the minor toods coming out of all the small streams below Fori Smith and will greatly increase the peril of the lower country along the Missis- Sippi river. All the railroads m the vicinty of Fort Smith are Suffering serious wash- outs or lost brid@es, and trains are aban- doned temporarily.” At Arkansas City on the Mississippi the witér from Sappington Hook has inundated a portlon of. the town and the back country i being flooded. It is not thought, however, that any great damage will result from 'this break, as the bayous and the interior sttéams are capable of car- rying the water L rapidly. Engineer Young's Warning.

The chargos made against the captain in this re- spect wero true. The witness described how two men were tiea up to a ladder and were left 1n that position for four hours. The commandor had directed him to keep the men continually at work about the ship. Regarding the ussault on Fireman Walker witness related substantially what alroady has been told in these dispatches, Cross-examined he said they had an unusual number of bad men on board the Enterpriso. He never knew 80 much Jiquor to be smug- lea on board a ship as on the Knterprise. 1o described various improvements for the comfort of the men which McCalla inti duced when he assumed command of the ship. Lieutenant Fichbohm of the KEutorprise confirmed many of Iugersol’s statements. Lieatenant Chumley said there was a lack of system rather than any particular system of discipline on the Enterprise, One day an apprentice boy by the name of Myor hesi tated when ordered to o into the coal bunkers.

St e LOTIERY BILL DEFEATED, Fails to Gt Enough Votes to Pass Over a Veto. St. Pavr, March 12.—The Louisiana lot- tery legislation proposed in the North Da- kota legislature at Bismarck received its quietus today in both houses. As anticipated some days ago a second at- tempt to adobt the measure was tried today. Yesterday was set as the day, but the sud- den death of Superintendent of Public In- struction Mitchell and the consequent ad- journment of both houses, postponed action until’ today, and this the last day the measure could be taken up, and curried, fical adjourfment being too near. The first attempt made in the senate proposed a new bill offering the state £50,000 for a franchise and an annual tribute of $150,000. Its opponents moved to lay it on the table, but the motion was defeated by 11 to 18, however, as a test vote, it sealed the fate of the bill, for it developed the fact that in the senate, where the measure was con- sidered the strongest, the two-thirds neces- sary to pass it over the governor's veto was not forthcoming. The bill met with the same fate in the house. The lottery bill came before the senate in the report of the seed wheat commission, one of whose members 18 ex-Senator Spen- cer, a representative of the Louisiana lot- tory. The commission submittea its report which declares all recent. legislation on seed wheat unconstitutional and _ submits a proposition from George K. Spen cer, the responsible agent *of var- ties .behind mim,” who in consideration of certain franchises asked offer to furnish the needy farmers 250,000 bushels of wheat without intores, to be returncd after the crop was harvested, bushel for bushel, and if the crop failed the debt is to be cuncelled. ‘The commission expresses the belief that the acceptance of Spencer's proposition is the only possible scheme by which the needy farmers can be provided with seed, ana rec- ommends the acceptance thereof. The ‘*‘certain [franchises” referred to are the lottery powers set forth in the former lottery bill, amended as men- tioned in these aispatches last night. The report of the commissioner with the proposal of relief from the lottery, was then taken to the house, where a motion to lay it on the table was carried ana adjournment taken until this evening. At tho evening session a motion was made by Stephens to re- consider the vote by which the now notorious Sandager bill was indefinitely postponed, and the previous question being ordered, the motion was lost by a vote of 23 yeas to 81 nays. The vote was something of a surprise, the opponents of the measure in the house having under-estimated their strength, al- though claiming enough votes to win. In an lnterview Governor Miller says ar- rangements have beeu almost vompleted for abundant seed wheat supplies, The Taulbee Inquest.
