THEY PULLED TWO HOURS AT THE STICK Program Arranged for This Evening at the Athletic Clab—Pugs Coming to See the Ryan-Wilkes Fight— " Sporting Gossip. The pull at ‘‘the stick” between Farmer Burns, the athlete, and Henry Kilmurray, a packing house Hercules, at South Omaha Saturday night, ended in a draw after a con- tinuous tug of two hours and thirty-tive tminutes, The men wereso evenly matched hat it was impossible for either to gain the slightest advautage, and after the prolonged struggle tho principals and backers agreed upon & draw. Tho arrangements for the event were very poor, no admission being charged, and as & consequence the small hall was crowaed to suffocation by a howling mob, which would nave prevented a successful termination of the contest under any circumstances. WRESTLING BOUT TONIGHT, Melnerny Before the Owmnha Atnletio Club. The Omaha Athletic club management has madae preparations for a big crowd this even- ing, the occasion of the Farmer Burns and John Mclnernv catch-as-catch-can wrestling mateh. The club hangs up a purso of $300, the winer of two falls out of three to take all. The attraction is a good one, as tho Farmer, in his class, is the acknowledged catoh-as-catch-can wrestier of the world, and Mclnerny, who must not be contused with Tom Melnerny of Cincinnati, is said to be & comer. Heisaman of wonderful muscle, and lis eagerness to wrestie for the wholo urse attests to the confidence he has in imself. 1t is the sporting editor's ovinion, however, that he can’t throw tho Farmer in & hundr ed years. There are other events on the evening's card, including an exhibition by Tommy Ryan, the welterweight champion, who meots Jack Wilkes next Saturday night,ia sparring match betweon Teddy Gallagher and Conny Murphy of St. Louis, and several lessor performances. May End It Some Day. The Morse base ball club visited Fort Omaba yosterday afternoon and engaged in & gamo of ball with the Second infantry nige, that s thoy were in the game with the soldiers for five wholo innings, and most of that time they spent in the field chasing home runs, threc-baggers and singles, and Buarns and " 560’ tjred were they at the end of the fifth inning that they conoluded to quit. The Soldiers did not treat them at all mee, and did not have a purtic e of compassion on their youth and innocenno of base vall matters, but kept viling up runs until tney had amassed @ total of twenly-nie, giving the Morses 1n the meantime only four. It was a great game while 1t lasted, but the exercise was altogether too violent, and as the day was warm the other four innings will be played at somo future time, in strict confi- dence and seclusion.

Iu a few minutes the entire building was a sheet of flames. From this ouilding the fire was communicated to the other buildings in the block, all of which were brick and occupied by Pelter & Con,, groceries; the socond story of this building was occupied by the re- corder’s office, and owned by W. I, Chalfant; Seland & Crouch, hurdware; B. F. Berry & Sons, groceries; Pxvo Bros., noton store; Coombs and Gruzéuverry, eroceries; Wilcox Son & Co., bankers; Seibert’s baroer shop, Isaacs’ saloon, Jacksou’s saloon, Willis & Sons, furniture, and the Coffey building, the first floor of which was used as a store room for furniture, the sccond floor as the Repubiican office. The burned district takes in all the bulldings on the south side of the court house square east to a including Wilcox, Son & Co.’s bank, and from there south on’ the west side of Main street to the southeast corner of the block. Every building 1 the block is more or less damaged and some of them totally destroyed. At this writing, 4:80 p. m., the five is still burning, with a fair prospect that every building in the biock will be a total loss, as sorvice from the water works 1s giving out. The loss of property will not be less thun $100,000. Most of those burned out are cov- ered purtly by insurance.

Comments of a Canadian Papor on the Proposed Retallation Scheme. Tonoxto, Ont., July 24.—Commenting on the proposed retaliation measures of the Uaited States government against Canada 1n the matter of canals, the Toronto News (llberal conservative newspaper), in an edi- torial headed: ‘‘Give Blow for Blow,” says it should be the policy of the Dominon government to con- tinue business relations with the United States, “‘but it is good tounderstand that this is not to be brought about oy lving down and allowing the Americans to walk over us. They have deliberately set about carryng out measures intended to an- noy and injure this country; they bave re- fused seainstresses living in Sarnia the right to earn their hving in Port Huron; they bave tumbled French-Canadian immi- grants from a train at the border; they have pug linemen in jail who have crossed the frontier for the purpose of making repairs on international telegraph lines, they have re- fused to allow cur sailors to seek emplo; ment on their lake vessels without first foreswearing allegiance to their mnative land; they are now endeavoring to turn’ the Grand Trunk ticket agent out of Buffalo because his family resides in Can- ada, and they threaten to impose an almost contiscatory tariff on Canadian vessels pass- ing through the Sault Ste. Marie canal. “Very good. It is the duty of our govern- ment, under the ciroumstances, to return blow for blow.

H. Cross and A. J. McDanlels, charged with being' principal and nccessory 10 tho famous Moffut robbery. caused much excitement and talk today. David H. Moffat; the president of the kirst National bank, who suffered by the robbery to the extent of $21,000, visited the jail this afternoon to idontify, if possible, the man Cross, As Mr. Moffau once before identified a suspected man as being the rovber and the latter was afterwards proven to be very iunocent, ho was today very reticent whethier or not Cross was the robber. Chief of Detectives Sam Howe rather ridicules the idea that Cross or McDaniels were connected with the hold-up. Tbe arrest of the man was made on the strength of an investigation made by Private Detective V. T. Sawyer. Sawyer is confi- dent that he bas made no mistake und de- clares that in due time ne will produce evi- dence showing that he has the right men. Cross still denies that he was in any way conuected with the theft. Cross is a native of Illinois and says he has relatives living eighty-five miles from Chicago, but refuses to give the name of the town. He, however, sald that they lived on the Galena divisiol but vot at or near Wheaton, Ill. McDaniels maintains a complete silence and isof a surly disposition.

MILLIONAIRES 1§ JEOPARDY William K. Vanderbilt and His Guests Almost Lose Their Lives at Sea. THEY ARE TAKEN FROM A SINKING YACHT While at Anchor in a Thick Fog Vander- bit's Pleasure Yacht 18 Cut Down in the Atiantic Ocean—All Were Rescued, Bostox, Mass,, July 24. —~The steamer H. F. Dimock of the Metropolitan Steamship company arrived here from New. York about 8 o'clook this ovening, haviog on board the occupants of W. K. Vanderbilt's yacht Alva, which the steamer ran down this morning. The Alva, under the command of Captain Henry Morrison, left the harbor at 4 o'clock Saturday evening, bound for Newport, R. L, having on board the owner and his guests, Frederick Vanderbilt, Georze De Forest, Louls Wehb, Wiufleld Scott White ana Prank Rigas, all of whom are sumniering at Newport. Barly this morning u thick fog sot in and it became s0 denso thav Captain Morrison deemed it impradent to run farther, as the vessel was then in the track of coasting vessels. Cume to Anchor. Atter makiug Pollock Rip lightship, anchor was dropped. Whistles aod horns wero blown at frequent intervals and every possible precaution taken to warn other vessels of the whereabouts of the Alva. The owner and his guests were all sleeping in their berths, when ata few minutes past S they wero aroused by @ heavy crash, accompanied by the tearing of the lates of their vessel, William Vanderbilt was the first on deck, closely followod by Mr. Riges. Looming up through the fog they could see the dark huil of a large steamer backing away from the yacht. The steamer was tho F, Dimock whose stem had penctratea the sides of the Alva, staving in the forward bulk- heads. The crew of tho yacht hailed the steamer and informed the captain that the yacnt must sink. Deserted the Yacht. Captain Coleman of the Dimock, after re- ceiving an affirmative answer to the question whether the boat remnined _intact, told the people on the yacht that he would lay by until they could be transferred to his ves- sel. A steam launch, four row boats and a naphtha launch were then lowered from the Alva, which was rapidly sinking, and 'the owner and passengors, with the twelve men, soon afloat and rapidly pullingsaway from doomed craft. Their exit was none wo =oon for when they were avout a cable’s length from their vessel she made a violent heel to port and righting amin plunged down, bow first, and nothing butthree masts sticking oui of the water indicated the pres- ence of the magnificent ocean rover they had deserted. Safely Landed, Tho party were all safoly landed on board the Diwock, which anchored and remained until about 12:40 o'clock In the afternoon, when the fog litted and her course was set for Boston, arriving at tho dook of the India wharf about 8 o’clock this evening. The Dimock was gowg ata greatly re- duced speed at the time of the collision, otherwise she would probably nave run right over the Alva and a frightful loss of life would have been the result, owing to the fact that all the passengers and one-half of the crew were soundly sleeping av the time of the zccident. She Was a Floating Palace. Tho Alya, as Mr. Vanderbilt stated in a fettor at tho time of her launching, was not built. for speed. Safety and comfort were tho first requirements. She was n floating valuce and yachtsiaon pronounced her the finest vessel of the kind ever coustructed in this country. ‘Monoy had : been expended lavishly by ber owner and it is sufticient to ¢ he was fully satistied with She was a screw steamer with barkentine rig. The Amer- ican list gives her custom houso tonnage a8 1,143 and her gross tonnage at 600.55. She 1s 285 feet over all, 252 feet 1 the water line, 32.3 feet wide and had a draugit of eighteen feet, Tbe enzine was a three-cylinder compound direct-acting type. A powerful dynamo engine supplied the olectrio lights with which the yacht was lighted throughout, She was supplied with steam-stearing wear and a steam windlass. She was built by Harlan & Hollingsworth at Wilmington, Del., in 1886, Her designer was St. Claire Birnen of Laverpool, Eng. She is vaviously estimated to have cost ,000 to £500,000. . The Dimock sustained some slight injuries to her stem and bow, but they were made temporarily safe by her crew, whilo she was waiting clear weather. So hurriealy were the ocoupants of the ill- fated craft obliged toleave that they were all, with the exception of the watchman, scantily clad, — - HOT WAVE NOTES, say that his vessel.

JULY. 25, 1892, ROBBED THEIR LAST STAGE Mob Justice Meted Out to Two California Road Agents. HANGED ON AN IMPROVISED GALLOWS Cruel Murder of an Express Messenger Avenged—The Murderers' Attoruey and Sentimental Women Hasten Thelr Fate by Silly Action Reopixg, Cal, July 2.—John D. and Charles Ruggles, the two brothers who robbed the Redding stage near here soveral weeks ngo and killed Express Messengor Montgomery and woundea the driver and a passenger, were taken from the jail about holf past 2 o'clock this morning and hanwed by about forty armed and masked men. Tho recent sentimental attitude of a number of women toward the prisoners, as well as the line of defense adopted by their counsel, who has been avidently endeavoring to implicato Messenger Montgomery as a party to the crime, had boen denounced by a number of persons in the county, and it is believed that the lynching was due to these causes. About 1 o'clock this morning a body of men, who had evidently rendevouzed some distance from the town, marched through a quiet street to the courvhouse. The sherift and deputy were asleep at home, but the men roused the jailer and compelled him to accompany them to the sherfP’s ofice and forced him to divulge the fact thut the keys of the jail were in the sheriff’s safe. The men spant nearly an hour openinf¥the safe. Finally they secured the keys and went to that part of the building ocoupied as the jait, The cells of the two men were opened aud the elder one, John Ruegles, asked the crowd to be lenient to his brother, saying he was innocent, The brothers were handeuffed and their hands tied behind their backs and were led from the jail. The party walked several blocks and stopped near the railroad com- pany's large woodshed, where a cross beam was suspended from two pine trees. The enas of the ropes, which had besn placed around the necks of the two men, were tbrown across & beam, and the men were told’ they could make » statement. The prothers had little to say. The older one said the younger one was fnnocent. One moment later, on a signal from the ieader, they were suspended about four feet from the ground.

Two Cowboys Bear Marks of De Mores' Marksmanship. “Did you ever hear how the Marquis de Mores ‘winged’ two bad men in Cheyenne?” asked Jack Frazier of Council Bluffs. **No? Well, it is not much of a story, but it’s a good ilfustra- tion of the man’s nerve and quick thought. “I was in the cattle business in 1885 and became acquainted with de Mores in Denver in the month of May. He was a very polite man, but rathed in- ciined to be offish, as we say in the west. About a month after that I met him at Bartow’s ranch, about twenty-five miles from Cheyenne, He was mounted on a vicious broncho, and appeared to have a good deal of trouble to keep his seat. A couple of cowboys who had been loading up on tanglefoot were whooping and howling in front of Bar- tow’s shanty when the marquis rode up. Their ponies were tethered, and they were running footraces, and for no reason on earth yelling like Comanches in a war dance. “‘One of them began ‘0 guy th:marquis on his horsemanship. Heo made nore vly, but Im{n on talking vo me. Find- ing he could not be provoked that way the cowboy nicknamed Broadback Mor- ris, becaise of his unusually broad shoulders, mounted his pony and with a dig of the spurs begun to show the Frenchman how to ride. His compan- ion followed his example and in a cotiple of minutes they were circling around the marquis, firing off their Winchesters, and using the most insulting language. Whether the marquis did not under- stand what they meant, I do not know; at all events he rolled a cigarette and laughed at it. “*Drop that, you tenderfoot!’ roared Morris, pulling ‘up his mustang with a jerk. ‘Drop that, or I’ll clipiv out of your mouth.” At the same time he lifted his Winchester. **De Mores turned half wuy in his snd- dle, took a deep inspiration and blew out a cloud of smoke. As it cleared away the wboy took deliberate aim and fired. The cigarette was sent flying in different directions. **Before 1 knew scarcely wh-t had happened DeMores had drawn his long- barreled French revolver from his belt and pulled the trigger. The Winches- ter dropped out of Morris’ hands. He had been shot through both wrists. The howl he let out could have been heard a quarter of a mile. ““I'he other cowhoy was on De Mores’ flank. As soon as ne saw him pull his gun he grabbed his rifle, but had not time to raise it before the marquis fired the second time, just as his broncho guve a lunge and a buck. The bad man tumbled off with a bulletin his shoulder, 1t might have been meant for his head, for all I know. “What did De Mores do then? He rolled another cigaratte, Hp,:htud it, and continued the conversation.” et e Boston's New Pavement.

Nonanton Men Quit Work. An unlooked for event came as a result of tho blazing weather. Four of the nonuaion men shut up inside the mill inclosure could stand the virtual imprisonment no longer and made their escape into the town. The ad- visory committeo of the strikers took them in hand and reported that the four claim to have had no idea that-they were to bo kept continuously away from all intercourse with the outside world, even taking meals and sleaping inside the works.

Hongstean, Pa., July 24.—This wns the aquietest day Homostead has experienced siuce the inception of the labor troubles. There was some talk of troublo in the event of ademonstration if Hugh O'Donnell is re- leased on baill and returns to Homestead. Militiamen beliove troule would foliow & roception to O'Donnell, but the workers are not apprehensive of any such danger. A delegation of employes of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company, composed mostly of brakemen and froight hands, called on the advisory committee durine the day and had a conference on the situation, with n view to determining what course tho railrond men should take in the matter of handliog the product of tho Carnegie mills while operated by nonunion men. No docision was renched, but members of the Ad- visory ~committeo say that the del- ogation will probably servo notice on the company within forty-eight hours of the intention of the employes of the company who are members of union organizations to go out on u strike if an attempt is made to make them handle or serveon trains en- gaged in transporting produots of the Home- stead works. The meeting lasted until nearlv 1 o'clock, but no conclusion was reached and another meeting will bo necessary to decide the question. Superintendent Wall informed the committee that called upon him that the company would insist upon the hauling of the freight. TRAINM N THIE ATENED, Attempts Made to o Them *Into the Strikers' Ranks—A Cruel Rumor. Pirrsnune, Pa, July 24.—The trainmen at the Pittsburg, Virgi & Charleston railroad, which runs through Homestead, are now holding a meeting to decide whether to refuse to run the trains if Carnegie's product 1 carried by the company, or to continue work and take the risk of bodily injury from the strikers. The trainmen claim that thev have been threatoned with aonihilation 1f they did not takesides with the strikers, and that when a committee called upon the advisory committee 10 in- form them of the threats they reccived no satisfaction. The matter was then laid be- fore Superintendent Watt of the railway company. At midpight the mesting was still in session. A story has been in circulation connecting Hugh C'Donnell’s mission to New York with the attempted assassination of Frick. When O'Donnell returned he stated thau his mission had been successful, and that dovel- opments of the next| fow days would settle tho strike. The story receives no credence, as Mr, O’Donnell is not regarded as the kind of a man that would countenance an act such as Bergman’s, Another Account of Bergman, New Haves, Conn., July 2f.—Alex Berg- man, the man who made the attempt on Mr. Frick’s life in Piltsburg yesterday, worked in this city as a compositor sbout three vears ago. ~He was known here as an ardent advocate of anarchistic theories.

Grant rode up to McGinnis and said: “Will your men go up that hill?” “They will go through hell, if ne sary.” was the prompt reply. right,” said Grant, “they will” have a chance to do it after a while.” The re mark was made in a matter-of-fact way, and in a few minntes the order came to advance. It was a worse assault in point of mortality than that on the guns of Bulaklava, for four-fifths of the ad- vancing union column went down in killed and wounded, and after it was over Genorals Hovey and McGinnis and Cclonel Spicely *eried liko children” at the loss of their men. But the sacri- fice saved thousands of other union lives and drew the enemy into a trap, putting the city at Grant’s mercy. e Arizons Camel Application will soon be made to the government to protect a herd of wild camels that roams over the desolate country in Avizona, between Yuma and I'}hrunf‘;erg and Wickenberg and the Colorado river. The originul wild camels were brought to the far west during the eivil war to transport sup- ples ncross the desert. They were found useless because pebbles and gravel made them footsore. Fivally they were turned loose and have sub- sisted ever since in this region which is visited only by Indians and prospestors. The Indians were afraid of camels and didn’t molest them, s0 that now they number uver 100.
