For five lunings fato seomed against the visitors. In the scoond inning the home team got two tallies. Shiebeck got the first on Fields’ bad throw and stole second, karlo got to first base on balls wnd both advanced on Strauss’ sacrifice, and soorod on Morrissey's siaple.

Fields scored ou Walsh's sacrifice, Iu the very next inning the visitors contin- ued to be gluttons. Atter Wright foulod out Day got a single and stole sccond. McGlove ot a single and Dungan flow out. Day and MeGlone stole ahead and scored on MeClel” lun’s pop-up, which Nicholson muffod. All this time and till tho end of the game the Huskers were knittiug their brows and passing resolutions, but they could not hit tho ball or despatch any business whate vor. Luck forsook them.

OMANA'S PROSPECTS, Chat About the ¢ lub and the Outlook for the Season. The Wostorn association is now hard at work on & four club basis, and will undoubt- cdly finish the season in this form. Tho Omaha's will roturn Thursday morning from oux City, and in tho afternoon meet the Kansas Oitys in tho first of a serios of four gemes—the 27th, 25th, 20th aud H0th. On September 1, 2, and 4 Denver will bo hore aud on the B6th, 6th, 7th and Sth the Sioux Citys. Until Saturdav Manager Leadloy without pitehers, but s Hart and Stein, and ha considers the team s strong ns auy ' in the association. Until recently the boys have teen hitting well, and it was only poor work in the box that lost them so many games. In the last two games, however, the twirling nas beou superb, and there is but little doubt but what the Lambs will quickly pick up in their stick work azain, Anyway It is safo to guarantee good ball, aud the publie, who ave 1010 or less interested in the club's fortunos for anothor year, will likely strain a point in civing it good support for tho balance of the son, In Manager Leadloy Omaha has a manager she.can feel proud of. He is an cducated, cuitured gontloman, and ranks high i the estimation of the base ball world, Another season and as fine base ball as has ever been seén in this city wil bo forthcom ing under his competent management.

Ordinarily this would not be remarked as a circumstance worthy of special mention, siaco tha line in question is simply a short link forming a connection bo- tween certain castern and western roads. But considering the stir that was recently occasioned by the alloged manipulation of through rates via this connecting link, a peculiar significance is given to the event. A few months ago some of tke Chicago lines began to protest that rates wore not bong maintained by cortaln of their com- petitors. The reason given was that the great bullc of through freight betwoen the Missouri river and eastern points was bemng divertod to the Peoria route, via the Indiana, Tilinois & Towa road. The lattor line, being in & position to exact a division of the through rate both from its eastorn and its western connections, was found to b recerv- ing at least double pay for the service it performed. The complaint was that it used @ portion of this mone to influence shippors, thereby securing bu noss by the manipulation of rates, Not be- ing o mewber of any association it was not subject to the rulds and regulations that govern other roads, but Chairman Midgloy 1ssued an order to 'the westarn connection of the Indiana, 1llinois & lowa directing them to cancel their joint tariffs with that line on Missouri river traffic. Tho roads chiefly affectod by this order wero tho Burlington and the Athison. Both refused to obay it. An appeal was takon to the board of commissioners of tho Western Traf: fle association of which theso compauies aro members, and the question was partially considored af the meeting of August 11. It is to come up for (inal action at the next moociug of the commissioners, Septombor 4, and thore bas been o question up to this timo as to what the decision will be. The question to bo decided 1s what divisions shall bo made with roads not members of the Western Froight association in_cases where sueh divisions ave not within tho jurisdiction of tho joint commission. Ioresccing the out- come of this ngitation, the Indiana, lowa & [llinois has_ taken steps to become a member of the association and s0 avoid the threatened punishment. There 1s littlo doubt that it has been advised to do this by the Bur- lington and Atchison and perhaps by the Chicago & Alton, those being the three rouds interested. Resorting to LOSTPONED ACTION. The joint committeo of the Trunk Line and Central Traflice associations has issued a cir- cular announcing that the reductions in the enst and west-bound freight rates, broviousiy authorized on account of the chango atGrand will not become effective September 1, the dato originally announced. The ma- jority of the Michigan lines, however, have alroady issued their tariffs, to go into effoct 1 that date and il probably not consent to the delay. Chairman Blancliava has calied a meeting of the iterested lines for tomorrow.

Mespims, Tenn, Aug. 24.—A dariog attompt was made to wreck a train on the main line of the [llinois Central road yester- day. Had the northern bound accommoda- tion train from Water Valley to Grand Junc- tlon beon going ten miles an honr faster thore would have been an awful disaster. About saven miles north ot Hoily Springs, carpentors were repairing o briage. As tho north-bound train come iu sight of tho bridge the eugineer noticed that one rail scomed to o unduly elovated. He quickly applied tho air brakes, and roversed his engine. It was well ho did. As the ongine went on tho bridge 1t was discovered that a piece of iron, known as o sticeup among bridgemon, had been securely fastened to tho rail and would have thrown any train from tho track. Luuckily oty tho front trucks of the engiua left the rails Word was soon sont, along the road, and s00n after a posso of men, with M. L. Brewer of Holly Springs at their head, went in pur- suit of the perpetrators of the deed. In tho oxcitement of the narrow oscapo from boing thrown with his train from the bridge into the water below, the engiueer noticed two negroes sneaking away through the bushes. Suspicion was directed toward them, Tho posse heard of the negroes being seen in the vicinity and an accurate descrip- tion was securea of both. Aftor a chase of several hours Mr. Brower caught the two negrocs. They gave their names us Will Frost and Will McDowoell Tuey wero separated by the posso, and each suid enough to implicate the other. Thoy wero confronted by witnesses and contessed to havine dome the deed. I'rost said Me- Dowell had a large axe, which ho intended to us for breaking open coaclios in case of wreck The negroes wero taken to Holly Springs ana jailed. Both have the reputation of being hard churacters and it is thought that thoy intended to wreck the train for tho pur- posd of vobbery. k and Rob LET THE BRUTE DIE. Keeping Almy's Name Before the Public. Haxovew, N. H., Aug. 24, —Miss Joannette Thomas, n reiative of Prof. Pattea, whose connection with the Almy case has often beon veforred to, tells a story of a midnight visit veceived from the murderer July 15, two days betore the murder of Christie Warden. This night Miss Thomas slept in tho room usually occupied by Christie Warden when sho stayed at the house of Prof. Pattce. Sho was aroused in her sleep by a noiso in tho room, when she sat up and asked who was thero. Her throat was instantly grasped by a hand aud « votee whispered: “Keep still; D'l nov injure you." ‘The intruder then asked her if this was not Christio Warden's room, and where Christio was. Miss Thomas told him Christie hud left the house in the afternoon. Hodemanded 0 know Miss Thomas’ identity and then said to her “Lam tho lover of Christie Warden, Her parents aud sisters oppose my suit aud 1 can- not see ber at howmo.” Ho then said to nzr: *Dou’t ever mention this night's work to her or anybody. You see how it s, If it were known that any man fiad entered her ehambor at might_her ropu- tation would be blasted forever. You would not want to have that oceur, now would you?’ ho usked with a sareastic laugh. ~ He then pressed » pistol against ber breast and made hor swear never to betray him. He then said ho bad been in tho room bofore, and asked if tho door was fastened. Miss I'homas knew by this that to was lying, as the door has no fastening on it. He then forced an obje into her_hand which proved to be a 4i-cali- bro revolvor eartridgo. Fle told her to guard it cuvefully and let it always be u reminder of her oath, for if she ever breathed u syllable of this affair he would kill her. The intruder then departed. Miss Thomas' stury confirms a theory that had long obtained amou those wterested in tho case, but was withiheld from the public, Almy was wildly jealous of Prof. Pattee, and this jealousy was of the most cracl and un- just suspicion born, involving tho professor and Miss Warden. This undoubtedly counts for the midnizht visit to Patteo's house, where the murdercr hoped to find sub- stantial proof of his suspicions and went armed with his two revolvers prepared to kill both suspected porsons. e Labor Troubles, Muxscie, Ind., Aug. 24.—-Ceneral Manag Bradbury's ordor for the striking trammmen on the Lake Irie & Wostern to go to work or be discharged did not bave the desired offect aud the company has discharged the meu and is advertising for others.
