Haudiboe started in to piteh but was knooked out of the box in the fourth inning and Vickery was substituted. He pitched great ball, and his lucky homo run drive virtually won the game. Vickery was fined ten simoleons by Jack MceQuaid and warned that he would be taken out of the game if ho didn’t behave himself. The batting of Newman,Graham and Shei- beck was the feature while Bobby Westluke and Dixon both caught beautiful games. Shoibeck’s work ot short saved many base hits, Hard on the Pitchers. ‘Lhe locals got three runs in the second fnning on two bascs on balls and Graham’s * arive over the fonco of the first ball pitched. in the third two ruus were scored, but stupid buse-vunuing prevented any more, Newman made a triple and West was given his base.

Vickery, with his wind- tho-clock motion, went in and won the game, oniy throe hits being made off bis delivery, Carroll driving the ball over the fence in the nth inning. Swarltzel was effective for two inuings, but for the remainder of the came Rowe's mon batted nim ail over the lot. A home run by Huyes, a base on balls and two singles in the bird gave the visitors threo runs. Threo more buttons were gathored in the fourth a hit by pitcher and tbree consecutive sin- gles. ‘I'wo hits wers made in the fifth, but £ood fielding kept them from scoring. Vickery Fooled 'km. In tho s1xth the gamo was won. With two out as a result of a double play Hayes was given his base, The grand stand offeced to bet that Vickery wouldn’t hit the ball, while little Westlake asserted that he would smash it over the fence. Vickery verified West. lake's prediction by makiug a homo run and tielng the score. Then Sheibeck laced out a double, Gilks bit to Grabam and Papa West tangled him- self up while Sheibeck tore across the plate with what proved to be the winning run. Visner got to third in the seventh and Shei- K to sccond in the eighth, but the dn’t get around. ‘I'he two clubs play again tomorrow.

CLARKSON'S PLAN TO NOMINATE BLAINE President Harrison Tolks Candidly About the Situation—The Offce Must Seek the Man—More of Demoos racy's Woos, New Yong, May 27.—~The rumored con- | ference given outto oe held atthe Fifth Avenue hotel by the advocatos of Blaine's nomination has boen abandoneg, so far as & formal conference is concerned. Confusion prevalled among the political leadors and the appearance of a large gathering was zealously avoided. It is nevertheless under- stood that the plan by which 1t is hoped to capture the Minuoagolis convention for Blaine hus been decided on. 1tis stated that every effort will be made to force Biaiue's nomination, but that he will not be consilved as to whether be will permit his name to be used. \Word has been sent to the faitnful that the most pronounced supporters of Mr. Blaine among the Minneapolis delegates shall cast a vote for thelr favorite on the first b lot. The balance of the uninstructed vote will be thrown to favorite sous, ana the filibustering will bo kept up until it is definitely setuled that a nominavion is impossible. Then, when all hope of nominat- ing Harrison or settling on any other candi- date 1s abandoned, Biaine will be called on as tho only person to break the deadiock and he will be nominated with a hurrah. This is the alleged program. Wil Conter at Minneupolls, Of the expected anti-Harrison conference the Tribune says: “A great deal has been written of o conference of party leaders which it was said would be held before Mr. Blnine's departure. No such meoting was held, neither wiil one be called in tuis city. The plun was considered and Mr. Clarkson favored such a conference thut the situation could be discussed fully and frecly by rep- rentative men of the party trom ail parts of tho country. But this was proposed without the slightest reference to Mmr. Blane’s pres- enco here. When Mr. Clarkson reached Washington, be found it would be impossi- ble to get up such a meeting, Many of those who wanted to attend could not _come and so it was decided to_postpone 1t until the lead- ers gather at Minneapolis. Then all the states will be reresented and a conference will be heid that will be attendad by almost every prominent leader of the party. This meeting will be held in all provability June 4, at the West hotel. Chairman Clarkson is expected here today. Mrs, Blaine's Ambition. Ex-Governor Ames, it was stated, had an interview with Mr. Blaine. A Tribune ro- vorter saw Mr. Amos and e said he had met Mr. Blaine casually and_bad a short talk with him. “In that short conversation, ho said, “polities were not mentioned.” “Do you think he would accepti’ was asked, “Mr. Depew told mo vesterday that ho understood that Mrs. Blaine was anxious to nave her husband accept, and he considered that as pretty good evidence that she thinks him strong enough to endure the campaign.’ Depew Thinks 1t's Harrison, The Times prints the following: Chaun- coy M. Depew’s attention was called yester- dsy afternoon to a published statemebt that M. Blaine had reconsidered his “I-will-not- be-a-candidate” letter to Mr. Clarkson, and was now willing to accept the nomination for the presidency. “Waoll, I spent an hourand & quarter with Mr. Blaine yosterday,” said Mr. Depow, “and ho did not talk that way to ne. I don't think that there will bs any such message sent from Blaine to the convention.” Do you still adhere to your opinion that, Mr. Harrison will be nominated “Yes, I am still of that opision,” said Mr. Depow, and after a slight pause he con- tinued ! *I would be a Biaine man if he were a candidate, but he has not placed himself in & position whore he can be 5o considered. If the copvention nominates bim it will have to tako the risk of his declining. { do not be- lieve that Blame will accept if nominated.” In reply to a question as to whother Mr. Blaine’s physical condition would,permit him w0 enter on tho strain of a bresidential campaign, Mr. Depew said: “He certainly looked well enough yesterday.” Preside arrison Talks. The World_this morning prints an inter- view with Prosident Harrison held by its Washington correspondent in which the esident is reported to have sald : ‘I do nou believe that individual disup- ointments will control the convention at Minneapolis.” The prosidont never appeared in better physical health than when, seated in his cool, pleasant cabinet room’ at the white house, he expressed his feelings as regards tho republican convention to make a nomina- tion for the presidency. President Harrison is slways calm and judiclal when ocisoussing public questions. On the present occasion, when, in accord with a request of the cor- respondent, the Trulden'— explained his own position as rogards the nomination, his man- ner was peculiarly earnest and impressive, inalcating deep fecling. He contmued: Disappointments Will Not Control. ‘*L am too well acquainted with. the mean- ing of theoftice of president of the United States not to understaud the importance of tho work to be done at Minneapolis, For myself, T am not, to use a homely expression, a young robin with a widely open mouth ready to catch everything that comes. 1 have spent more than three very active years in tho discharge of my [:umlc duties, during which poriod of time I have acted conscien- tiously and solely out of regard for my con- ception of the exigencies of the public serv- ice. 1 have made appuintinents as nearly as I could in accordance with my views of what, was fitting. Of course there have been dis- appointments. Disappointments sometimes cause discontent and discontent may maai- fest itself openly.” It was ut this point that President Harri- son uttered the epijrammatic sentence that leads this dispatch: *Ido not belleve that individual disappoiutments will control the convention at Minuneapolis.” He Could u Tale Unfold, “Were I disposed,” contiuued the presi- dont, o oxplaiu Low many of theso disap- polniments ana to subtoquent discontent ave occurred, the narrative would be inter- esuug, yas, very interesting.

Brickell, vroprietor of the Columbus Evening Dis- paten, was seen at the Fifth Avenue hotel today, and in regard to the letter recently published, purporting to be from General Grant to Roscoe Conkling, relating to the latter’s effort to make General Grant a can- didate for the presidency a third time, said: “Last May Mr. George Shepard Page of 69 | street, New York, visited Columbus as t of Mr. Ernest MacMillan, president of the Columbus & St. Louis Gas_company. Duriug bis stay i Columbus, he was & frequent visitor at the Dispatch office, ana during one of his calls showed in the oftice a lotter which he claimed was an original and genuinerena from General Grant to Roscoe Conkling. Those who were in the oftice recall having seen tho letter, and as near as all could judge, from the signatures of Grant under his picture, concluded that the letter was geuuine. “Mr. Page allowad a copy of the letter to be made, but insisted that it should not bo published at that time. *When asked how he came by the letter, Mr. Page replied: ‘By a combination of luck, stratogy and questionable methods,’ and that was the one reason Wijy he did not want it made public at that {imej He added that if it was ever pubiished the public would con- demn the questionble yhethods employed. The letter was copied and handed back to Mr. Page, and the cqpy put away and almost forgotten, until my return from New York, when in' looking for some other papers, I came across it. As Mr. Page was now dead, I thought there could be no objection to the letter being made public, and without & thought as to its political vearing, I con- cluded that it should be published to round out the life of General Grant. No politicians 'were consulted in regard to its publication; and as for Mr, Koraker, ho knew nothing about1t. Mrs, Page, vow living at Summit, N.

IRVINE'S PART IN THE TRAGEDY She Flirted with Montgomery and Lincoln's Exclusive Soclety Sot Knew of It— Estimatos of the Two Men—De. velopments at Lincoln. LixcoLy, Neb, May 27.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bk, |—The excitexzentover the tragedy which occurred in the dining room of the Hotel Lincoln yesterday morning has practically died away, although the matter still forms almost the solo topic of conversa- tion. 1Itis easily to bo scon that the tide of is rapidly spttiog in for Irvine, although the dead man's friends are numerous. The latter make no attempt to deny his - guilty connection with the womau whose disregard for her marriago vows lod 10 tho tragedy, but they publiciy assori that her liaison with Montgomery was not her first indiscretion, Attoruey Doty of the firm of Atkinson & Doty, retained to assist the pros- ecution, stated to Tne Beg this morning th ‘wheon the case camo to trial they were pro- pared to prove that Mrs. Irvine haa veen in- timate with other men before her affair witn Montgomery and that they would introduce letters and telegrams to prove that Mont- gomery has tried to avold her.

He Lived a Tragedy. Tho story of W. H. Irvine's life for the Dpast ten days is fraught with unusual intor- est. A week ago today ho started east trom his home in Sait Lake City to join his wife in Chicago. When he began his journey he had implicit faith 1n his wife. Not a suspi- cion of her guilt haa reached him. He ar- rived in Lincoln Sunday afternoon at2:15, intending to stop over with a friend until tho next day. As ho loft the depot to walk 1o his friend’s home he mot an acquaintance on tho streot who thoughtiessly poured into his ear the first intimation he had ever heard against his wife's honor. Without waiting to bear more he turned back to the Burlington dopot, and two hours later was again speeding eastward to learn the truth from the lips of her whom he had always cherished. This is the story told to Irvine by the man who met him on”the street: The man re- ferred to nhad himself been a passenger on the tram to Chicago early last February. With anotber friend they passed through the train in search of acquaintauces. They found Mrs. Irvine. At Omaha Mr. Mont gomery boardcd the train and later joined Mrs. Irvine. The four sat together. A deck of oards was produced and the tedium of the journey beguiled by a number of games of high five. Mr. Montzomery and Mrs, Ir- vine were in the best of spirits and seemed to enjoy each other's company. Such was the story told Mr, Irvine. It wag not much of a story, but it led to yesterday morning’s tragedy. From Her Own Lips, Reaching Chicago Monday, Mr, lrvine at once sought his wife and questionea her closely as to her journey to Chicago with Montgomery. Little by little the womau related the story, reluctantly admitting facts in answer to her' husband’s quastions, until at last the whole terrible truth lay bare. Mrs. Irvine confessed that she bad met Montgomery on the train at Omaha: that to- gother they jouineyed to Chicago; that they occupied a suite of rooms at the Curtis hotel 1in Chicago, the rooms connecting by a door; that on Kebruury 6 she was soduced. This story Mrs. Irvine told her husband in tho presence of her mother. Then her con- fession was reducea to writing and signed, with her mother's name as a witness to the signature, ‘The wronged husband lost no time in re- turning to Lincoln. He gave up a pleasure trip which his wife was to share with him and with the written and attested proofs of her infidelity in his pocket took the Hirst train back to the home of her betrayer. Hoe ar- rived here yestorday morning at 5:20, Ho firest sought bis attornoy. Not finding him he walked down the street to his former bhome where he and nis wife had lived so happily, It may be that the sight of aonce happy home, now ruined and blasted forever, nerved him to do the aw/ul deed for which he now occupies a felon’s cell, Walting for His Prey. At any rate he proceeded at once to the Hotel Lincoln, where he knew the man he sourhl was to'be found. Ascending to the dining room he looked over the room half filled with early risers, but notfinding Mont- gomery he walked the length of the cor- ridor, entered the parlor and sat down. Those who saw him state that he picked up a newspaper and begaa to read. Again he approached the dining room and again his eyes scanned the faces seated at tbe table. This time the man he looked for was there, With one step forward he was face to face with him who bad wronged him, and there, with & hand nerved to stoadiness by desperate resolve, he lifted his weapon and an instant later two reports rang out and death was the portion of the man who had balf arisen from his seat with a band ex- tended in welcome to his slayer. Coroner's Tnquest Continued, The adjourned session of the coroner’s in- quest assembled this morning. Coroner Crim stated that last evening he had made a moro careful examination of the wounds which caused Montgomery’s death, Im- bedded in the left ventricle of the dead man's heart he found a broken, twisted link of the watch chiain which had been broken by tho builet, After leaving the broken link in the heart the bullet pussed on through and loaged near the spinal colump. It was this wound which caused death, the other not boing necessarily fatal. B. D. Smith of Kearnoy was the first wit- ness called, but his testimony developed nothing that has not already been told. C. W. Barnoy of this city testified that after the shooting he ran to Montgomery’s assistance, and asked hun if he had any last words to say. The dying man made 1o re- sponse, and evidently did not recognize him. C. C. Upham took the parers from the hand of the man who did the shooting and identified nim as W, H, Irvine. Chiel of Police Otto exbibited the weapon used by Irvine aud stated that when searchod Irvine had §352.63 in his pockets, besides hive oertitied checks for 500 each.

G | Omuhn Boe, ti | L e S under arrost, stated that the latter had to be supported on the way to the station. Severai times he begged the officer to kill him. Verdict of the Jury, Aftor the 1ast witness had been oxamined quite a discussion arose over the advisavil ity of demsfnding from Irvine's attorneys the papers taken fror him when ho was placed under ari Several of the jurors insisted that the papers should be piaced in evidenco. “I'ho attorneys representing the state held & whispered consultation at the end of which District Attorney Snell stated to the jury that it was neither vecessary nor desirable that the papers be turned cver to them, but that tho evidence admittea that one of the documents contuined & confession from Mrs. Irvine and that the confession was datod since last Monday, With this explanation the jurv retired. In the jury room the same question arose and for soveral bours the juty hung on this point. It was not until 4 o'clock that a ver- dict was finally detecmined upon. It was of usual form and to the eftect that C. K. Montgomery camo to his death by gun shot wounds inflicted by a pistol in the hands of W. H. Irvino, ho funcral of C. E. Montgomery took place this afternoon from the residence ol his sister, Mrs. B, H. Polk, at_the corner of Sixteenth and L streots. 'I'he sarvices condueted by Rev. I3, H.

Thero have been devolopments in the Irvine's attorneys have per- sistently refused to give out the papers which all aro so eager to see, but they admit that the outline of the confession as wiven in Trr Ber is correct even as to the dates and places. Attorney Strode, who was today re- tained by tho defeuse, bas charge of the case, ana stated to Tne 'Brr_ropresentative this evoning that from this time on he should declino to discuss tho caso and would studicusly refrain from rushing into print with statements in regard to tho affair. At- torney Abbott, who 1s also connected with the defenss, is confined to his room by sick- ness and cannot be seon. The friends of Montgomery have engaged Atkinson & Doty to assist District Attor- ney Sneil in the prosecution of tho case, ‘I'ieir policy 1s exactly the reverse of that of the attornoys for the defense, ‘Thoy are perfectly willing to talk and have today made some ussertions in regard to tho past conduct of Mrs. Irvine. The Lincoln press uphold the public sentiment in favor of Ir- vine. Both evening papors tonight charao- terized Montgomery’s conduct as worthy of the punishment he received. William A.
