¢ OMAHA'S NEW BALL GROUNDS Park fite on the Towa Side Finally De- cided Upon and Leased. WORK ON THE BUILDINGS SOON BEGINS ocation @ all Park Preople Detailed Deseription of the Arrangement of the New —Some Words to th Concerning the Clw OCAT bass ball affairs have finaily reached a point jus- tifying the publica- tion of a complete roview of tho situa- tion, which it is pleasing to state in tho outset is most felicitous, President John W. Speas of Kansas \ City was here Fri- day, and in con junction with Manager Rowe completed the final deal for Omaha's base ball for 1502, and in all likelinood a long serios years to come. In the first placo new grounds have been secured, by a five-yoar lease, across the river within just s1x minutes’ ride of the corner of Douglas and Fourteonth streets. The site, which is located directly east and abutting the Council Biuffs = waterworks property, on the south side of the boulevard, has been designed by nature, apparently, for a baseball park. It includes a tract of meadow land 450x600 feot, nearly as large again as the ola park north of Lake street, 1his city. Owing to their natural adaptation but littlo grading will bo necessary to make the new grounds as level as a floor. They will, however, be plowed up and rolled, tho outtield, which is now covered with a healthy growth of blue grass, needing put Jittle pre- liminavy preparation. With palatial new grand stand and acces- gory accommodations completed, the park will be one well ulated to please the eye- s1ght of both player und patron, An tmposing Grand St Tho grand stand, for which elaborate spocifications are being drawn, will be an imposing structure compared with the old cuoand will bo situated iu the northeast cornor, semi-circular in form, with two stories. a turret for the scorers and private boxes for those who wish to indulge in the luxury. “I'nis building togother with the dressing rooms and minor structures, in the way of Lleachors, board walks, fences and so forth, will en‘ail an expenditure of possibly 1,500, und work upon the same will be commenced imm ediately. The position of the grandstand, the bleachors, diamond and tield will be found to tally materially with the following dia- vam ; nd, Motor Lino Open § > 5 3 8 H 3 3 : & s arrangement faces tho batsman toward the southeast and in a great measure relieves the fielders from annoyance by the sun. A twonty foot board walk, with railing, ‘will be buiit from the motor platform to the main entrance gate, a distance of probably soventy-five yards, and for convenience and easy nccoss, the park will not bo surpassed by any in the coun Amplo Transportation Factlities, Tho location of the grounds across the river need give no apprehension to patrons of increased car fare, as arrangements cov- ering this will be made, the purticulars of which will come hereafter. I'he whole plan is an admirable one and cannot fail but be popular, as well as unqualifiedly successful. I'he additional benefits that will accrue to 1he management will be almost countless, as tho games will draw to & much greater ex- tent than evor before from Council Bluffs as well as from tlis city, and evervone will readily recoguizo what' this means. Two citios " to draw from, and while the club remuing distinctively an Omana in- stiution, both will derive much Food from the park being located where it is. "Tho Blufts people have already mauifested a yigorous interest in the scheme and will aid in u solid way toward making it the groatest oase.ball success ever achieved here. As s00n as the citizens on this side of tho bix bridgo become familiar wita all the new couvenionces, tho speedy and pleasant trip ucross tho river, and the admirable facilities for witnessing the games, 1t is predicted that the week day attendunce will be fully double that of last or any otner year. And on Sun- duys —well, if the huge park is equal to the throngs which will assuredly flock thither on these occasions there will be little causo for complaint frow any source, Biendorff, the architect, is now busily en- guged drafting the plans and soecifications Tor tho grand stand and other buildings, and within the coming five weeks Mauager Rowe, who is throwing all his energies iuto the declares he will have everything in reudiness for preliminary practice. very effort. will be put forth to complete the job at the earliest possivle moment, and when' this 15 once nccomplished, it 18 safe to say, Omaha will bavo one of the linest ball parks in the whole country. Some Cold Cash Needed, 5o much for the work thus done. What is noceatary now i for the citizens, especially the business eloment, to attestaheir appro- ciation by a hearty co-operation with the as- sociation in the way of raising the amount the eity will be modestly called upon to ruise. Tovery business man who can possibly afford anything, whether he be a base bali enthus- iast or otherwise, should cheerfully und promptly respond with whatever be deems jusuified in contributing, let it be however small 1t may. Omaha is having a healthful howe industry crusade, and if the new base ball project does not come under this head, it .would bo gratifying to know does. The city has buse ball us her single summer divertisement, in which ine out of every ten men, women and bildign, whether they are able to attend Fames or not, are iuterested, and that, wo, all over the entire country. A oty can secure for itself no better advertising medium, and in the new ocircuit forming the Western league tbis year Omaba will be thrown into futercourse with a uew list, inoluding Indiau- upolis, Columbus and Toledo, live cities which beretofore have had but little ex- change In the way of exther social or commers olal amepities. ~ The national game will oring about & happy chauge, and every day, almost, from this on until fall, the nows' paners of these cities above mentioned, to- pether with St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwau- koo und Kansas City, will give the Gate City whe benelit of favoravla mention. No Cut Throat War This Year, The close relationship botween the west. arn wnd the big league is another thing that mu‘n.wo Omaha renewed prestige, and that, Hance itis tue absolute duty of her busi- I'HE ness mon to aid and puch forward her club's interests to their fullest copacity. President W. I, Bechel will be the full custodian of all funds subscribed, and swhile a committeo will bogin canvassing the city tomorrow, contributions will be received in tho president’s name at the Omaha National bank. Another thing must be borne in mind, and that is that Omaha is the only city in thn en tire circuit to which the league guarantees tho running of the club. The league is put- ting up the buildings, leasing the ground and assuming all oxpense and liability, and all that the citizons of Omahna are asked to do 1s subscribo liberally to the small bonus to which the leaguo is cortainly entitled. As quito an outlay of ready cash is ‘necs- sary in tho start, the finance committee of the lenguo requosts that our business men respond at once. They will not be callod on a second time, and promptitude will refloct $0 much thoe moro to thoir credit. That baso ball in tho Western leaguo this year will be much more than a_self-sustaining enter- priso is a fact that will admit of no ndverse argument, NEARLY KILL BILLY GIBBS, Strangling of a Former Man in a Wrestling Mateh, Bravronn, Pa., Feb. ~At the Wagnor opera house last night Billy Gibbs, who is known as the Kansas Doemon, but was for- merly a hackman at Omaha, and Dennis Gallagher of Buffalo engaged in a wrestling match that came near ending in & tragedy. The match i best two in three falls, Graeco-Roman style, strangle hold not parred. The men were in prime condition and the first bout ended the coutest. The strugele lasted twenty minutes with honors even. (iibbs got a stranglo nold on Gallagher, but the Buffalo man, by the ox- orcise of wonderful strength, broke the hold. In the subsequent effort to obtain a fali, Gallagher got his man by the neck and tried t placo his shoulders 'upon tho carpet. Gibbs got partly out of the bad position he was in and then Gallaghor clutched him about the neck for a handhold. With the florceness of an Bvan Lewis he squeczed Gibbs' windpipe until the 1atter, with eyes protruding and black in the face, mado o guttural sound like tho stifled roaring of a Ho was strangling. ‘Don’t muvder him, him,” and other exclamations horritied spectators, Billy Baker, Gibbs' second, attompted to rescuo his man from Gallagher's clutches, but Referco Atherton neld him back. Gal cagher continued his choking until Gibbs be adme unconscious lay upon the floor in nearly lifeless condition.” flo was carried ©0 his homo by two men, and after working ver him fora long time, the wrestier was Tevived. The match was awarded to Gal- lagher, although he did not throw his man, The strangling of Gibbs was the most brutal spectacle that has ever been witnessed on & stage in this city.

The volice stations were attacked in several parts of the city. While the guards marched through Unter den Linden a polico officer was pelted with stones and forced to take shelter from the infuriated mob in an ad- joining house, Several thousand unemployed workmen massed themselves in front of the castle today. Seeing them thore the emperor came out, wearing the full uniform of the Cuiras- siers, and followed by the wtole of his staff proceeded through Unter den Linden on horseback at a foot pace. He was choered, but several disturbances occurred while he was passing. Since last night the transmission of all telegraphio messages in cipher has been stopped, and it is impossible to know what caused the disturbances in question, K'rosh riots are feared for tonight. The police de- tachments have been reinforced; troops and police are massed in the castle, and at the prefecture tho police have been authorized to use theirarms if necessary. They had done this aireagy, though, without waiting for instructions whon charging tho mob near the castle, and many peoplo have boen wounded. Rehable information confirms the gravity of last night's events inBerliu. The present movement seems carefully organized. Cir culars aistributed at various meotings plained that the opportunity had come for pillage. Tho police found this out too late to provent the partial success of the plan. Maay of the shops were sacked, the greatest suf- ferers boing the tobacconists, bakers and publicans. They Hooted the Emperor, Thero has been no interruption of the riot- ing all day. The police wero compelied to make a charge along Unter den Linden in order to clear tho approaches to the emper- or’s residence, and only partly succeeded in effecting their purpose. Demonstrations oc- curred, too, in front of several of the banks, and more particularly the Bank of Dresden, but the most serions incident took placo at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when, on his re- turn from o ride, the emperor was loudly hooted at by several huundred rioters. The wounted gendarmes charged and drovo the erowd into the side streets. . Heavy losses have resulted from the pillag- ing of the shops and the municipality will have to pay 1,000,000 marks damages. One Jeweler had everything in his window stolen, Twenty thousand cigars were stolen from one tobacconist, Nothing like thoese disturb- ances has ever been known in Berlin. The agitation whicn was at first confined to” the unemployed workingmen has spread to the rest of the population. In London and Paris grave intoruational complicatious are dreaded. Iv is feared that 1f the disorders last much longer the emperor will attempt a diversion by declaring war against—whom is not stated. Riots similar iz character o those in Berlin have taken nlace in Dantzis and Brunswick. Others are feared in Vienna, whero the misery of the poor grows greater daily. The situation altogether is alarming. Germany seems to huve come to the end of her fortunate period. Events may at any moment tako a turn perilous for tho peace oi Kurope. With a monaveh like William all things are vossible. Carnot Has Found a Premier. Wo have not advanced . stop toward tho solution of the crisis since yesterday. Last nigot M. Bourgeois had agreed to make an effort to form a cabinet. Today %e aban- doned the idea. In despair M. Carnot ap- pealed to M. Loubet, an 1llustrions nobody, who represents the department of the Drome in tho semate. It would appear that M. Loubot has been luckier than his predeces- sors, Late tonight 1t was announced that a cabmet had been formed with M. Loubot as premer and M. de Cassagnac as minister of commerce. M. de Freycinet and M. Ribot are, it scems to po in tho minstry besides M. Burdeau and M. Viotte. But M. Constans goes out. M.

Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the emperor, left the eastle and drove in an open carriage through the Unter den Linden. He was loudly cheered by the dense crowds that moved up and down the As the day woro on the riotous element evidently tived out by theirlong and repeated efforts to mako as much troublo as possiblo for tho polico, began to disperse and make thew way to their homes. At this bour, 7:30, tho crowds have thinned and the streets are gradually taking ou their normul appearance, Would Not Allow Them to Meet, Late this afternoon the crowd attempted to hold a meeting on the streot in frout of the Dresdoner bauk, but the police dispersed them without much trouble. Numerous crowds gathered throughout the' afternoon in the central parts of the city. As s00u us they gathored they were dispersed by tha police for the most part with little re- sistance, in o few iustances serious en counters occurred and a number of persons wero injured. The newspapers warn the people against overestimating the imporiance of the dis- turbanices, which, they say, are duo to roughs who aro always ready to com it sutragzes. Tho Tageblaut says the disturbances senseless and without social significance Tho Boursen Courler expressed the belief that the rioters were not the persons who at- tended the workmuan's mecting. ‘Dhe sociulist paper, the Vorwaertz, in an article on tho troubles disclaims, on benalf of the socialist leaders, any connection with tha rioters, The puper declares the mew- bers of the mob belong to the lowest dregs of the city's population, The damage done yestorday aniounts to thonsands of marks, Ambulances were kel busy all the afternoon and evening convey- ing the wounded to the bospitals, 5 Pollce aud Roughs Fight, Conflicts between the police and a mob of 3,000 roughs continued in the Kose, I'heatre strasse, until 10 o'clock tonight. The poli attackea the rioters with their sabers, strik- ng with the flat side of the weapons. The mob was at length routed and dispersea into the side street: Tomorrow is the regular pay day for work men here, und there is grave dauger that the meon, being supplied with wmoney, many of them will ludulge in drink, and Lhat being iflamed by liquor they will grow uncon- rollable and thus greatly iutensify the dis- orders. Stroug feeling is mauifested by the publio io regard to the state of affairs existing in this city. It is claimed that precautions ought to have been adopted earlier to sup- press the outbreaks, und the E&wplo are - dignant at the laxity which tho authorities displayed at the outset of the troubles in al- lowing themselves to be taken by surprise, and by permitting whole streets to be given up to the wob without resistauce. When the riot in the Michaelkireh strasse w at its neight & policeman drew bis sword for the purpose of preveuling some rioters fromw lootiug a shop.~ This act seemed 1o greatly eurage the mob. and at once there were loud cries of “drown the hound!" and the crowd rushed on him on masse.

Suppressing the Facts, LoNpox, Keb, 20.—The Berlin correspond- ent of the Times declares that the laxity of the government in Berlin is due to an at- tempt to minimize the extent of the disorder in the oyes of the publiv. The correspondent further says that all telegrams describing the rioting offending to the eyes of the German press ceneorship have beon refused transmis- sion at the telograph oflices, and that no ac- counts of tho later excesses of Thursday could be wired.

Tho men weighed in at 145 pounds each. Betting shortly before the fight was at 20 to 14, with neaick the favorite. The purso’ was 500, When time was called for the first round somo light sparring was followed by Peck- ham dropping on his hands a couple of times near tho ropes in evading Kimmick’s right. In the second round Peckham landed both hands on Kunmick’s houd, who stopped him with hands down. Peckham hugeed the opes, but made a number of left leaas for Kimmick's chest.

Thirty-six brothren had traveled the dovioys paths from the Lodge of Perfoction to the Consistory, having started upon their jour- ney toward the heights of tho ‘“double eagle’” on Wednesday, and in honor of theic investituro with the 325" a banquet was given last evening at Masonic hall to which the wives and sweethearts of the followers of Albert. Pike were biddon. Tour long taoles, bosides innumerable smail tables, placed along the walls of the blue lodge room, were ocoupted and the old- ©ost Mason present could not recall o largor banauet given by tho order in this eity. 1t wus an unusual sight to sa0 so raany peoplo present at a secret socioty aftair, but the oc- casion warranted tho presence of tho guests, for it is not very often that thirty-six men take upon themselves tho vows of the degroe of Master of the Royal Secret (322) at one time. A very pleasant featuro of the second an- nual reunion was the music furnished by a quartette composed of Miss M. Amsden, Mrs. W. H. Wakefield, Mr. A, J. Van Kuran and Mr. J, F. Barton, with Mr. Mar- shall as organist. Throughout the secrvices thoir voices were heard in gloos, chants and congs of exultation as the postulant ad- vanced toward tho light which is not on lana orsen.

Tt must bo a cold heart indeed that would not bo warmed with patriotio fervor by such scenes as wore prosonted at the Grand opera house last evening.

Tri-colored ropes hung fu thick, 1n- torlacing fostoons from balcony, chandeliors and other coigns of vantago, whilo small flags wore crossed against tho panels of the boxos And tho walls of the theater, The occasion of this elaborate docoration was the production of an entertainment called the National Pageant. It consists of eloven tablenux illustrating important events and epochs in Amorican history, and nearly 800 persons took part in their nroduotion, It was a splendid conception splondidly exo- cutod, and it moved a great audience ropro- sentative of Omaha's richest and bost to rap turous demonstrations of onjoyment. Tho tableaux wore presented with a wealth of de- tail and a muniticence of staging that were overwhelming in their effect. _ 'The ontertainment represonted four pertods in Amorloan history: Tho discovery, colonial, revolutionary times and vhe reformatory ora, Proceding each tableau a historian stopped beforo the curtain and gave a short expiana. tion of tho sceno to bo presented. Mr. Hans Albert and his orchestra embellished the stage piotures with appropriate sentimental and patriotic airs, and filled out tho intervals botween scones with choice selections. The musio was ono of the strong features of the entortainment, ana Mr. Albert and his asso- clates received repeated recognition from the appreciative audience, Tho various historical and allegorical char- acters were prosented in corroct costumes and posed with caroful study for cffect. Beautiful stage pictures wero sot before tho audience, and the porformers could not have asked for heartior evidences of an approcia- tion of thoir efforts, Tho entertainment was for the benofit of the Woman's Christian association, and iv will be repoatod this afternoon and evening. ——— capado of n Lenox Capitalist, Ia., I"eb. 20.—[Special Telegram to Tk Bek, [—W.
