oA ONAMA STILL IV SUSPENSE Not Yot fettled Whether the Coming Cham- pions Will Remain Here, PROMISE THAT THE TEAM WILL STAY. Bome Reason to Believe that the Club Will Fe Kept Intact—Lincoln Won from Kansas City With Ease, Citizens intorested in the maintenanco of Omaha’s baseball team will have 1o be pa- tient for a fow hours longor, but they can rest assured that the enemies of the great sport stand a good chanoe of getting left at every turn in tho road. All sorts of obstacles have been thrown fu the way of a speody settlement of tho * embroglio, but the proper parties are taking a lively interest just now and the prospects are good for un amicable adjustment in spite of all adverso scheming. There are a thousand and one reports afloat, but one thousand of them cut no figure in the case, Therc is no player in the Omuna club going to deliberatoly cut his throat Still there aro many phasos of the situation to be carefully considered, but with the ar- rival of President Krauthoff here the aftairs of tho elub will receive & speody disentan- glement, and there is a good chance of the club’s eontinuing right hers, The best men of the city are awakened to the necessities of the case, and it is reasona- ble to suppose that th will work out a happy solution to the wholo question. If they fail it will b their own fault Business men wbo hope for tho retention of Omabu's one great summer amusement and still greater advertising card should move promptly and in unison and the club will_remain, and on a basis that will bo a credit to both plavers and m: nent. One prominent and wealthy business man declared yesterday that ‘“thero would be more money taken in at the gate undera new and popular managoment than has been realized during the entire season so far." If the citizens are successful and raise tho funds to keep tho club, the players will leave tonight for Denver, whore they aro scheduled to play tomorrow. If not. the present champions of the Western association will be seen for the last time on the local erounds today when thoy will play a game against the Fden Musee for the bencfit of the former team. Kaxsas Crry, July 15,—President Kraut- off of the Westorn ball association left to- night tor Omaha where he will consult with Meossrs. Morrison and Garneau concerning ~ the transfer of, the Omaha club from the management of Dick McCormick to that of the former gentleman, There were many wild stories afloat horo today regarding the disbanding of the Omsaha club and the sale of the players to the various clubs in the American asso- ciatlon. President Krautoff was wter- viewed just bofore he left tonight on the status of the ‘club. Flo said most em- hatically that the club had not been dis- banded, and he thought it would not be for the rcason, ho said, tho asso- ciation could not afford to lose Omaha from tho circuit, and everything pos- siblo would be dono by the association 10 keep the club intact. He had anticipated, ho said, that McCormick would attenpt to disband the club and soll the players and, under the rules of the association, he had ro- served the playors for the association and they could not” o to another association until the Western waives its claims upon upon them. Mr. McCormick's plan to refuso to disband and soll tho men did not succeed. President Krautoff today recoived notico from the Denver managemeot of toe salo of Right Fielder Curtis to the Cincinnati league club. The Kansas Citys today released Pitcher Cohway. B Whether or uot the move to rohabilitate the Omaha base ball team is successful, the boys will have a bonofit performanco at the grounds today. A picked nina, strenzthened by an Omaha battery, will try to make tho game interesting. Jim Corbett of San Fran- cisco will play first for Omaha. The teams will be: Omaha. Position.

A resolution was introduced authorizing the committec on buildings and property to proceed wit the repairs as recommended by tho superintendent of buildings. “Has the committee not already the power to proceed with theso repairs?’ asked Mr. Morrison, “Tur Ber says the committeo hasu't, erowled Wehror. *“Tng BEE is usually right,” rotorted Smythe, and the laugh went 'round the room. Mr. Poppleton was opposed to tho dele- gating of authority to expend in- definite amounts of money. Mr. Babcock, Mr. Smythe and others were also opposed to the idea of granting committees power to expend monay for mat- ters the cost of which had not been recom- mended definitely to the board, but as these matters recommended by the superintendent of buildings wore evidently necessary they were in favor of delegating the authority, in this instauce, to the committee, The resolution was adopted. ho following persons applied for positions : Katherine M.

The committee on claims recommended the payment of bills for repairs amounting to about §240; adopted. The same committes also recommended that Bell & Berlinghoff, the architects, be paid $1,100 as part payment for the plans for the Kellom school. © Mr. Smythe said that ho should like to know why the board should pay this money before the building nad been begun. He called for the reading of the original proposition by Bell & Berlinghof. The proposition was read. It stipulated that thearcnitects should furnish plans for the new building for 3 per cent of the cost price of the building and tho firm also agreed to superintend the erection of the building for 1 per cent of the cost of the building. The architects were granted the $1,100 partial payment on the plaus. ‘The fivst breeze of the evening was created by Mr. Coryell when he offered a resolution to appoint Mr. Hamilton as superintendent of the erection of the Kellom school building. Morris Morrison and Charles Wehrer woro opposed to the appointment of Mr. Hamilton for this special work, Tuey thought he had 00 much work on hand to give proper atten- tion to this important new building. Mr. Hamnlton was finally appointed as the supe inteadent of the Kellom building with no ad- ditional salary. Superintendent James was_allowed §30 for the purpose of visiting St. Louis to investi- gate the kindergarten schools of that city.

The bond was the same as that presented two weeks before and rejected ou the grouud that the bond contained no local suretics. Mr. Pop- pleton, Mr. Smythe, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Points vigorously opposed the accoptance of the bond, with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas investment company as surety. They coutended that good local suretics should be demanded. © All other members present seemed to think that the security offered was amplo und the bond was approved.

One of the railroad oficials who will bo present at the meoting said “The chief subject discussed will bo the jolut agency plan for the distribution of competitive business. This plan vas recommended at the moeting two months ago and the commis- sioners were ordered to draw it up in dot and decide upon tneallotment of percenta; I have received a copy of the plan drawn up by the commissioners, Other matters to bo discussed ave likely to take considerable time and the mecting will consume at least tw days and probably more.” “The gentleman refused to say whether a copy of tho allotment of percentage was sont out'with the plan or_not. The moeting will take place at the Windsor hotel. Mossrs, Stuyvesant, Fish and Von Rensallner, who were prosent. said thoy did know what the proceedings will be, Sudney Ditlon smd he would attond the mceting. He did not expect to see Jay Gould at the meeting beeause that gentleman was out of town, Among the roads that will be represented are the following: Rock Isiaud, by Presi- dent R. R. Cable and Benjamin Browster; orthern Pacific, by President T, I, Oakes] Denver & Rio Grande, by George C. Coppell, chairman of tho board of the directors; St. Paul, by President R. C. Millor and Samuel Spencer; Contral lowa, by RRussell Sug Atchison, by Pro: Y | aud Georgo C. Magoun; Northwestern, by President Marvin Hughitt and Albert Keep.

P, Huntington, who will probubly represent the Southern Pacific at the meeting, aid not como to this city today, remaining at his Westchestor residance, but he said last week that he would certainly atterd. Somo of the officers named do not look for the adoption of the joint agency plan, as they think the effort to wipe out all existing agencies would be too great for the associa: tion to attempt. As a general thing the representatives of the various roads are reticent in speaking of the weeting and the | hAs been plac for investigation probable results are decidedly uncertain. sl Business Tro Syracvse, N.
