e o i iy 2 SUAMMED THE SOUTHENDERS Tcm Bermiogham's Oonventions Put An® other Defeat on the Champs. POOR FIELDING AND MILLER'S PITCHING Nonparella Made Many Errors and Didn't Bat & Littlo Bit—Just the Other Way for the Victors—Details of the Game. VIERY enthusiastic crowd assembled at Nonpareil park yes- terday afternoon to sec Major Tom Bermingham's Con- ventions and the Nonparefls try con- clusions again. And all that took the trouble to make the trip were not & bit sorry for they o witnessed ono_of tho most exciting contests that has taken placo on these famous grounds for many & day. The afternoon was just right for the sport, with a leaden sky and just enough broeze to make things pleasant. The battle began promptly at 4 0 1n the language of Mr. Gladstone, 1t was a Hly. Captain Shanahan’'s pets wont into the struggle with the very best motives, indeed, but they quickly discovered that Berming- ham's lambs wero ouly so many sheep in wolves' clothing. They not only used the stick with effect, but played a game that outshone Spud Farrish’s diamond—the one he lost in Wash- ington. Russ McKelvey, the old Alleghanian, umpired after his usual faultless style and there wasn't a kick in the entire game. J. Lycurgus Miller, the Sencgambian twirler for the Brummgem boys, pitched a superb gamo. Jellen was good too, on an average, but the Bermingham family got his range just at the right time. Artie Creighton, Little Stoney. Mickie Clarke and Tichnor fairly plastered themselves with mud and glory. But in this exuberance of praisc I _must not overlook that young talian, Patsey Morarty. He was in the thickest of the fight from the opening gun to the last dying wail % The balance of the Southsiders were a bit marigold in color. But the late phenonenal downpour had left the grounds something like a custard ie, and they should not be judged too arshly. Bogan the Play Prottily. Stoney was the first to toe the scratch. He tapped down a little one to Jerry Ma- honey and Jerry slammed him out at first. Then Creighton and Adams did preasely the same thing, and a murmur of incipient discontent began to ooze through the varti- sans of the Northenders. But say, Jer id his pal, Sam MeAuliffe, were very much in that inning, weren't they? Between the two av’en, they retired the side. Andw was more remarkable, there were only three balls pitched in the inning. The 'Pareils came in li conquering he- roes, but Lycurgus quickly knocked the starch out of them. Stoney threw Jerry out at first, Miller took care of Brad's pop-up, and Tichnor “Usabbled Jellen's foul Jellin started the second by socking the ball about a foot into Mr. Yapp's ribs. He went to second on Kennedy's sacrifice and after Jack Robinson had flew out to Frank Mahoney, he scored on Mickie Clark's .clean single. Tichnor perished thoe hands of Jerry and McAuliffe, yev the crowd looked glum. 3 They evidently wanted Shanahan’s people to do the scoring. But thoy couldn’ McAuliffe and y were both fired out at first by Stonoy, and Captain Dave playe “Papa Buy Me a Bow-wow" with the v Then another hand was dealt to the ‘ventions, and it looked as if it came from a cold deck. To commence with Lycurgus took a little of his own medicine, that is, Jellin struck him out. Then Jerry made a miscue on Stoney's easy one and the boy was safe. A groan went up from under the willows. But to show that yellow playing, like the yellow fover, is catching, Jellen followed up Jerry's blunder with another horse p Creighton hit a soft one down in the mud in front of him, and in trying to head off Stoney at second, Jell came within an ace killing a blue jay in the maples back of center fleld. Stoney ambered on to third, where he was nailed a moment later, how- ever, by a quick throw of Bradford's on Adam'sground Lacey followed up all this mess with a bad throw and Artie scored. Then Bradford made another and Buck fol- lowed suit. So there were two runs in with- out the sign of a hit, The atmosphere was growing very sulphur- ous when Jellen switched Kennedy off by a quick throw to fivst, In their half the "Pareils laid another egg, and how happy the Northenders were. Two Doubles In n Hurry, Jack Kobinson came up smiling for tho fourth. Jellen, after taking a good look at him, aimed the sphere at his lower vest button, but instead of hitting the mark it landed against the kid's club. The concussion sounded for all the world Jike a peanut sack when a small boy blows it up and sits down on it. And while M Jellen was still wondering what had hap- pened the ball had landed 'way out smong the sweet potato vines in right field, and Rob was blowing like a porpoise on sack No. 2, You ought to have heard Tom Berming- ham's mad shouts at this exploi 1t soundud just like somoebody tearing off a tin roof. Clarke followod with a neat single, which the ghh\e‘ kid was trapped at the plate. He thought he was a sprinter, but he wasn't on to Count Moriarity's good right wrm, and he reached home only to be punched in the ribs with the ball in Lacey's hand Wot's de madder wid ye, kid?" cried a gamin on the bleachers, “You couldn’t run & hundred yards in a mouth.” But Clurke reached second on the throw- in, and then skated home on Tichnor's drive, Tich, himself, making second on the throw from the field to head Clarke off at home, and scored when Jellen tried to uail him at home on Miller's tinid grounder, Shanahan threw Stouey out to MeAu- liffe and the 'Pareils came in for another omelet. The fifth was a bl on uk for the Conventions, ly little run for tho MeAuliffe sent one like a shot to deep cen- ter, a regular kisskadeo, in the language of Colonel Van Arnam. Miller's ervor ticketed him Lo second, Shanaban's sacriice ninety feet further and a passed bail home. ‘That wus all there was in it, still the South Side went all but dait. It was 50 nice to see their around the base: There was no nlore scoring until the when both sides counted, but I inust not fail to mention that in the eighth Josephus Ly- curgus Milier struck the side out, Frank and Jerry Mahoney und Bradford - That was pitehing, wasu't ivt In the ninth Stoney was dead-headed to flrsy, but in trylug to make tnird on Artie Creighton’s single he was turned down. but ~abatio reached ysecond on tho killing. On Yapp's it the big catchor scored and that was Bermingham's farewell So0n Settled the Game. In the 'Pareil's half things grow exceed- ingly interosting. Jellen opened up: with a clean one, and on sacrifices by MoAuliffe and Y.acey in succession, was epabled to reach the oyster. Captain Dave had his good eye on, aud he waited patiently until Lycurgus sent in four wide oues, then he walked down. The Italisn was the next man up. "gnw. Macaronl, kit her out,” yelled Irish oe.

The Kinney Brothers, avho have control of the fair grounds, are making preparations to give Omaha a big running meeting, probably on tho 4th, 5th and Gth of July. These dates may not be exactly correct, but sure It is thatthe Fourth is to be included in the program, and it may be that the races will open up on this holiday. That the venture will prove a splendid success there 1s but little if any doubt. A running meeting 1s something that this city has been longing for years, and now that there is a prospect of its lopes bemg ful- filled, every encouragement should bo ex- tended to the enterprising gentlemen who have determined to make tho venture. The biz running meetings all over the country are patronized daily by thousands and tens of thousands of people, and Omaha can well afford to sustain a session of her own. There isno nobler or more_thrilling sport, nor more attractive, and it is to be ardently hoped that the coming meeting is but the inaugural of thosport on a first-class basis in this city. The Kinneys have the assurance of a big field of horses and they will spare neither labor nor ex- pense in making this starter a credit to themselves and the cf The business men and all others interested in the progress of the city, should combine to help the project on to a successful issue. Particulars will be forthcoming in a day or two. Great Shooting Promised.

Frank Crane Addres & Mass Meoting of Lenguerson “The Big Church.™ The Epworth league state convention has come and gone and the delegates will nearly all depart for home today. In some respects the convention was disappointing to the Ep- worth leaguers, while in other respects it was a decided success, The attendance was not as large as had been anticipated and the deliberations of the convention failed to bring to the front many new workers or new methods for the promotion of the work in which the league is interested, the chris- tianizing of the entire people. But there wasa good deal of enthusiasm manifested by those who took the lead, and in fact by nearly all the delegates, and there can be no question as to the beneficial results of the convention upon the league work over the state. Some of the leading features of the pro- coedings were the changes made in the con- stitution, which, in the main, were very much needed and one of which enlarged the local league representation in state conven- tions from two delegates to three and an- other was the decided stand taken upon the question of opening the World's fair on Sunday. The dolegates wore universally well pleased with the entertainment provided for them by the citizens of Omaha and went home with pleasant recollections of the days spent here. The time and place of holding the next annual convention was left with the board of directors. The delegates who remained over Sunday 1 Omaha attended church at the most con- venient house of worship or anywhere else that thoy desired yesterday morning, as the league convention was not allowed to inter- ferc in any way with the regular se the morning hour. Several of the vi clergymen and laymen filled pulpits yester- day, but the two leading events of the day were the mass mee held at the First Methodist church in the afternoon and even- ing at which Rev. Frank Crane and Dr. Lasby spoke. Sirong Sermon by a Layman. The league work is calculated toemphasize the fact that some of the most effective ser- mons preached ave delivered by liymen. Yesterday morning at the First Methodist church Mr. B. L. Paine M. D, of Lincoln, delivered an addres: vhich was very much enjoyed by tho audience and was overflo with good thoughts along the lines of Chris- tian work. He touched upon the tendency of the Methodist church to grow m staid and conservative upon the matter of¥haking religious zeal manifest and said that there were hundreds of people in the church who had been converted at camp meetings or at an old-fashioned mourner's bench, but were ashamed to admit it because they thought that such methods of revival work were growing unpopul He believed in_the old- fashioned camp moeting revivals and he saw no harm in_excitement where there was a genuine spirit of religious zeal behind it. Rapped Card Piayers and Theater Goers. The speaker was of the opinion that too mauy professed Christians wentabout shirk- mg their plain duty. “I have known people when they first struck a town,” said Dr. Paine, ‘10 spend several weeks trying to find out which church had the smallest debt and into that church they went hopihg to escape helping carry a burden for the good of the cause thoy professed to be interested in.” He believed that it was the duty of all Bpworth leaguers to take hold manfully and help along with the financial affairs of the churches they belonged to and not become mere hangers on. Touching the subject of theaters and card playing thespeaker said it iwas o stiamo that so many young Christians wero impressed with the idea that they could mot go in good socioty unless thoy played cards and went to theaters. *“We ought to hift the Christian life up so high,” said the spealer, ~that instead of the young Christians trying to climb over the fence into worldly pastures the worldly people would be trying to climbover into the church in order to enjoy life.” He struck fashionable society several very hard raps that provoked laughter in the audience. He also expressed his disapproval of that, which is known as “Christian Science.” Being a physician himself his remarks on that par- ticular subject were of especial interest. ‘“They call it Christian science,” said Dr. Paine, and then he stopped and Shaking his head solemuly sald, “‘the devil,” in a way that told the audience exactly where he stood on the subject. *It is a misnomer,” he continued, “‘for I have noticed that when- ever this peculiar craze gets hold of people they soon cease to work for the Master.” He related several rather amusing incidents in connection with his practice as a physician bearing directly upon the so called “Chri - tian science” method of healing. In closing tho speaker exhorted the Epworth leaguers to be more aggressive and zealous in the cause they had espoused and to make them- selves useful at evory possible opportunity in helping the poorand the unfortunate and in drawing people away from every form of sin into ways of righteousness. Held o Mass Meoting. ‘The mass meeting in the afternoon was largely attended. Rev. Frank Crane de- livered an address on *‘The Big Church,” the great outside world not included in any of the Christian churches. The “Big Church” was a powerful organization, ho said, and one in which there were many con- sistent peopls, The lived for the world and usualiy got what they wanted. The big church was a liberal church. When people of the world wanted anything they were willing to vay for it. They attended to the meuns by which thoy wero kept in the big church, They believed in attending the theater, the gambling den or the horse race with a good deal of enthusiasm and in large numbers, Nothing went by halves in the big church, Contrasted with this there stood the little chureh, or the people who believed and pro- fessed Christianity, Many of them were in- consistent. Whilo protending to be living for Heaven and the good of the human race they were laying up their treasures on earth, While pretending o desire to sea the whoie world Christianized they ouly guve at the rate of one sixteenth of one per cent of their income to the supportof missions. If Chris- tian people of the United States would give but ove cent apiece for the support of for- eign missions it would awmount to $37,000,000 per annum whereas last year they only gave 8,000,000, In this strain the speaker went on show- ing the littleness of the Christian church in every wiy until he had his audience com- pletely plunged inw pessimistic blues. He pictured the triumphs of atheism and nfi- delity in glowing language, closing with the victory of the anti-Subbath observers in opening the gates of the Worla's rat Cnieago, It really looked though the speaker would predict the entire extinction of Christianity before he closed. But after he had held the dark side of the picture up to his audience about as long as 1t could be silently endured he turned on the side lights of his hope, and there came a change that approached the dramatic in effect and brought applause and tears in liberal quan- tities. He pictured the strongholds of Chris- tianity surrounded by the enemy, the atheist, the Sabbath breaker and the devotees of greed and worldly pleasure. Only a few more ramparis remained to be taken and the hope of the Christian would perish frow oft the face of the earth. The old guard, com- posed of such people as Bishop Ninde, Frances Willard, Dr. Crafts and othors, now manfully holding the fort against sin, intem- ‘auce snd Sabbath breaking, were almost ady Lo give up the fight, when they noticed @ strange movement in the distance. There seewed to be a commotion aloug the horizon and it was soon discovered that there were large numbers of people coming toward the besicged garrison of Christianity. Were they friends or foes! The fleld glass was orought to bear upon this approaching urmy and it was scen to be that of the Epworth loague and on the banner of the army were the words, **Look up, Lift up.” The usual quiet of the sanctuary was broken by the sound of enthusiastic applause when the speakes rounded this graceful and THE 6MAHA DAILY BEE;, MONDAY, eloquent climax of his discourse. Tn con- clusion he said that al h the conflict bo- tween the big ohurch znx the littlo one, be- twoen the world and Christianity, looked somewhat discouraging he would nover lose hope as long as there was & solitary man in America_who trustedpin God for the final result. He believed that the kingdom of God woula come and -he belicved that the Epworth league was golng to bo one of the most potent agencies ¥ bringing about the results so devotedly wisted and prayed for. The closing event in, connection with the convention was the address of Dr. Lasby of Lincoln, at the First clitirth last night. The address was eloquont and interesting and formed a pleasing and appropriate ending for the convention, WILL NOT PUT UP THE OASH. South Dakota Wants More Rallroads HBat Others Must Do the Bullding.

DAMAGE WILL REACH INTO THOUSAND3 Stroets Washed Out, Bulldings and Dwell- Ings Flooded and Walls Collapsed— Nome Instances of the Raln's Work In the Olty, The ruin wrought by the rain storm of Saturday night was even greater than firt reports indicated, and yesterday morn- ing there was scarcely & street in the city that did not show traces of the water's work. Many of the ungraded streets were very badly washed out and much damage was done to the curbing dn many places and sewers on the ungraded streets sufferod heavily. In the wholesale district many of the basements of warehouses were filled and considerable damage caused. The Chicago Lumber company suffers to the amount of 20,000 from the flooding of the cellar of their warehouse and the ruming of a large amount of lime and cement. The large warehouse of the Dewoy & Stone Furniture company, under the Tenth street viaduct, was badly damaged. The water that rushed down the railroad tracks poured over the walks and weakoned the walls of the rear portion of the building. At 8:80 o'clock the wall on the south side col- lapsed, tearing down a portion of the roof. The point at which the wall fell was used for unloading cars and but little furniture was near the entrance. Tho rain poured into the opening for a time, but the damage to the stock was very light. That section of the city west of Sixteenth street and botween Castellar and Mason al- ways suffers from heavy rainfalls and the storm of Saturday night did the usual dam- age to the barns, outhouses and small cot- tages that are built along the gorges as rap- idly as they are built up after cach storm. Hustling Repair Work, Street railway travel proceeded vesterday as if there had been no storm on Saturday evening, trans starting on time and there being no interference with the regular schedule. The drift that obstructed the tracks in many portions of the city was cleared away soon after davlight, the water having receded almost as rapidly as it rose. It was not a moment's job. however, to re- air the damage done to pavingand sewers, and a large force of men will be occupied with that for several days to como. Neither could the damage done to privato property in invaded dwellings and store building be repaired in a da; and although the water promptly deser the quarters that it had temporarily claimed for its own, there are saveral families who will not be able to again occupy their homes until the wagons of tho graders shall have carted away the inch or two of refuse and dirt that was doposited by the flood on their floors. The scene of the water’s invasion on the north side, atong the line of the old North Omaha creck, presented far from a pleasing appearance teraay. In the carly morn- ing an immensolake coversed o large part of the territory, but 1t had drained awa; afternoon, except in the low pl where 1t had to remain until could settle into the drenched earth. Grace street near Twenty-second v filled with sidewalk in twenty foot section: and Clark street near the same point was a wobbly sea of paving blocks. T'wenty-fourth street along Kountze Place was also very much unscttled as to the condition of its paving blocks, which lay in ridges along the motor tracks. Experience of Many Families. Furniture hung out to dry was a common sight, and in a number of houses the oc pants were doing their house cleaning with a shovel instead of & mop or a broom. The residence of Mr. G. C. Place, near the corner of Lake and Fifty-fourth streets, was struck by lightning Saturday night during the fierce thunderstorm. The chim- ney was utterly demolished and the cornice of the house considerably damaged, but uo one was seriously injurcd. Mrs. Bodling, who lives at 821 South Sev- enteenth avenue, had a little taste of what lightning can do when it tries in the V. scaving people. She was in a_room with her daughter during the fury of the storm, Sud- denly there was a cracking in tho room, and thena great sheetof flame shot out from the walls. With a seream, Mrs. Bodlirg fell in a faint. Others rushed into the room and saw the flames vanish through a window, leaving a much heated sulphurous tasting at- mosphere behind. No serious damage was done the building, and the lady only suffered from the fright. SOLDIER DROWNED, Private O'Kooffo Loses His Lifo In an Open Sewer Near the Fort. The body of William O'Keeffo, a private in company F, Second infantry, Fort Omaha, was found at 9 o’clock yesterday morning at a point several hundred feet below Fort street by Charles Gruner, a 12-year-old boy. When discovered the face of the dead man was downward and covered with the mud in the small creek which drains the Fort grounds. The deceased was a native of Ireland and had enlis.ed for the second time in the army. Coroner Maul held an inquest in the af! noon which developed that O'Keeffe had been drinking heavily on Saturday evening in company with a fellow soldier. He left the latter in a saloon, and as near as could be determined fell from the sidewalk across the sewer on Thirtieth street into the little ek which at the time overflowed its banks and the walk, so that it was perhaps ix feet in aepth. here the body about half a mile to the it was found after the sided, and he: body floated down stream and _in coming in contact with stones or some other substance on the banks.

FauL River, Mass,, June 4.—Joseph (or Jose) Carreiero, suspected of tho horrible murder of Bertha May Matichester, 18 under arrest here charged with homicide. That he really committed the murder there ap- pears to be little room to doub in view of the developments made in the avestigation Carreloro gave himself up to the police las ning and from 6:40 p.m., until after mid- night he was on the rack, At first his story was a good oue, then came a change. Con- tradictions ard falsehood followed and he was rrest. After the inves- tigation the following statement of the sus- pect was made public: On the night of the murder Carreiero en- tered & shoe dealer’s store near the south end of Sagamore mill and asked for a pair of shoes. He pulled out of his pocket a silver wade dollar, apparently brand new. He also ulled out a silver half dollar with a hole in These pieces answer the description of the part of the money taken from Bertha's bureau drawer. Bertha's sister testified that the trade dollar came into Bertha's possession four- teen or fifteen years ago, and an examination disclosed the fact that it bore the date of 1578, During the investigation Carreiero denied he had ever offered a silver half dol- lar with & hole in it to the shoe dealer, but & Portuguese who acted as iuterpreter with the storekeeper stated positively that he had. The shoe dealer said that Carreiero had what appeared to bea lady's puu'.::l» book aud that he took money from The pocketbook was taken from Bertha's room. Testimony was also introduced to show that a man answering the Portuguese deseription was seen running in the direction of tho Mauchester farm. The, authoritles say there is additional evidence of such strength that the polico have not yet worked it in the }\rnpl‘r shapoe to give it out.

There will bo a grand street porade this morning on the principal streets in the heart of the city, which everybody is invited to attend. The outfit was caught in a cyclone while showing at York, and was damaged to some oxtent, but with its customary prompt- ness, the management has already gotten everything pertaining to the circus in ship- shape. Ringling Brothers have earned and hold a deserved popularity as circus men. With a small beginning, they have fought their way to the top of tho iadder, moeting with a success that i3 phenomenal, yet to which they are entitled, and they now stand the foremost showmen of the day. All this, it may be added, is due to the fuact that they advertise nothing, promise nothing, that they do not fulfiil to the very letter. Today's performances will be given on the grounds at Twentieth and Paul strects, and it will be well for all who attend to go as early as possible, a8 tho mere mention of Ringling Brothers always draws a great crowd, and the attractions offered by them aro unusually excellent, including sides tho great menagerie, ho and museums, a la number of high-s aried specialists in various lines of the p fession. Among these may be mentioned the Bedouin riders, the Japanese equilib- rists, the Walton brothers, who give an amazing acrobatic performance; the Brothers Vernon, aerialists; the Reno sisters, eques- tricnnes; Charles W. Fish, the great bare- back rider, and Si Hasson Ben Ali's wonder- ful troupe of Arabs Ringling Bros. will not visit Omaha again for some tume, so don't fuil to see their per- formances today. - HOLDING THEIR OWN, Rio Grando do Sul Revolutionlsts Continu B to Defeat Govornment Troops.
