2 THEY MISUSED MR. LAWLER Oliristian Ball Tossers Morrily Swat Tom Bormingham's Ohange Pitoher. HIS OWN TEAM H BACK ON HIM Tielding of the ConyenMons Was Something Remarkably Awlal—Batting of i taln Abbott's Men Conpled with Krrors Wins the Game, .ho Christian hosis jumped onto the Brummagems yesterday afternoon with both feet and they never let up until they had driven them way up into Egypt somewhere near the source. It was the third game for the city cham- plonship and makes the second bunch of cuels Captain Abbott has dangling from his belt. And of courso he Is correspondingly happy. The socret of the whole affair was the utter inability of the brawny North Enders to connect with Rector Conuer's Weeping Water slauts, that is at the right time, ‘while on the other band, the boys of the tri- angle swatted Lawler hard and opportunely. They took the lead in the second inning and were nover headed. “Lost again, Artie!” yolled a bleacher to Captain Creighton, as Stoney tapped Lawler on the wishbone in the ninth innmng and ended the fray. “Yes," responded Artie,” but you know that old gag about the blackest cloud hav- ing a Germun silver lining, don’t yout Well, wait till next Saturday." But this is the way it happened: Opéned Like n 1 Game, The first ball pitched Paddy Dolan pushed ont to. McKelvey nnd was sidetracked at first. Lawler made a single, went to second on a wild piteh, and stayed there, for McKel- vey threw Artie out to the Cherub, and Old .ll’lck Carrigan beat the ethereal black and Iue, For the Christians Stoney sent a bashful little grounder down to Robivson, and Rob- inson seized it by the slack of the pants and fired it o rod or two over Boman's head. When a messenger boy brought the ball back Stoney was on third. Still 1t was hardly time for any hallelu- jahs, for tho next three men, Tufeld, Abbott and McKelvey, were retired in speedy succession. The second was another blank for the Conventions, but a windfall for the Young Men's Christian associations. or Conner smashed the sphore for two sacks, and after Angel had reached first on balls, that littlo Wilkins boy hit her for a couple himself, Then everybody shouted, for on this grand swat both the Weeping Water representa- tive und the Cherub came home. A moment later Mr. Wilkins joined them, as Mike Kelloy Robinson made another at- tempt to throw the ball out of the lot. But It Availed *Em Naught. From this on to the close Captain Artie and Lis sturdy Brums were on the defensive. They fought inch by inch for the ground the furious and repeated onslaughts of the indomitable Christians compelled them to give up, but they made but feeble attempt to regain the ground lost. That 1s until the last inning, when they made a brief but fierce rally, and in a measure checked the onrush of the hosts. Up to this juncture the score stood 9 to 8 1n favor of Captain Abbott's band, and it looked as if it was all over but the shout- ng. Elll right here Lysic missed Kelley Hobin- son’s third frantic stab, and Mike saved his bacon by a speedy run to first. He stolo sec- ond, but immediately developed symptoms of paresis, for a moment later the Rector caught him napping. Then Bomun hapoened along with a two- cushion punch, Kennedy with asingle, Davis with another, and so did Miler and Dolan, 100, and tho result was thres runs for the Brums, and an awful scare for the wayfarers . in the narrow path, “And that was all.

NAVAHOE OUTSAILS THE CALLUNA, Race for Yachts Above Forty Rating Set- tled Between Two. Loxpoy, Aug. 5.—A race open for yachts above forty rating took -place today under the uuspices of the Royal Southampton Yacht club, The course covered a distance of forty-two miles. The Calluna and the Navahoe were the only starters. The Nava- hoo at once took command. Then com- menced a stern chaso which lasted all day. For time the Calluna appesred to hold her own fairly well, butas soon ns the vessels came on & wind the Navanoe bogan to draw away perceptibly. The latter, howaever, was not iearly so stf as the Calluna, which stood up like a house, while every little puft laid the Navahoe we.l down to her rail. The timo when' each roundod the mark boat of Lyminguon - was as follows: Navahoe, 12:80:30; Calluna, 12:39:18. It was now a free race toward the Warner lightship. ‘With sheets eased well off, the two yachts made rapid headway under hosvier canvass Kvery! g admired the way the Navahoe was handled, “Throughout the race her sails stood like boards and never had a quiver in them. The time on rounding the Warner lightship was: Navahoe, 2:35:35; Calluna, 2:40:00, " It was now a dead beat to Nettley. Both made two or three tacks under tho shoro, with n freshening breeze, working westward very fast. At every board they made, however, the Navahoe gained rapidly and lengthened out herlead. By the timo the flag boat was reached the Navahoe had greatly incréased her lead. The time at the finish was: Navahoe, :12; Calluna, peeive "Tho Navahoe had two minutes and forty- two seconds to take, so she had pleuty of timo to give away. PRIZE FIS DS IN DEATH, “Sallor Kid" Taylor of Denver Dies from the Effects of Last Hattle. Dexven, Aug. 4.—As the resuli 0fa brutal prize fight at the rooms of the Ramblers' *Cycling club last night Bobby Taylor, the “Sailor Kid," died this afternoon. The tight lasted twenty-two rounds, at the end of which it was declared a draw. The “Sallor Kid's” opponent was “Kid" Robinson, o negro whom Taylor had defeated in a pre- vious fight.

OF DYING LEADVILLE [CONTINUED FROM FINST PAGR. | in round numbers the sum of' 81,000,000 wore drawn from the banks, and all by the miners. While these men with money left the coun- try, there aretoday many hundreds who have not a cent in the world and must be- come objects of charity before the beginning of winter. Iven at this time they are liv- g on dry bread and the berries which thoy ather in the valleys along the rivers and small streams. Very Liberal Miners. Right in this connection it is due to the miners tosay that they are not beggars. They are not men who prize a dollar very highly and willdivide their last loaf with any person who is in need. While they may be upon the verge of starvation, they will not visit the back door and importune the house wife for a cold tunch. and a hand out. Such being the case, it is a matter of justice %0 state that i the relief camp at Denver, ‘while the occupants are branded as miners, but few, iiany of them, belong to the vast army.of men whohave spent yearsin dig- ging the . precious ores from -the bowels of the mountans. As the revenues of this city are indirectly derived from the income of the men who work in the mines, the outlook for the fu- ture is very dark, for with the mills and mines closed no taxes can be levied and col- lected, which means that the municipal and county governments must bs abandoned; that the schools and academies must close and that the churches must do away with their preachers, who for years have been expounding the word of God to their little flocks. Not only does the present condition of affairs mean alt of this, but it means more. It means that unless the mines onen within a short time the entire population must move away and leave, syhat will be the ruins of fortunes that it has taken yeurs to accumulate. But just mow the question of whero to'go 15 ofie that is boing debated. Some of the people have relatives or friends in the east who will help them in their troubles, but the gréater por- tion of them are not so fortunate and noth- ing is left them but to begin life anew, stari- inf( at the bottom ot the Iadder and gradu- ally working up to the top again.

Two different committees, representing a meeting of taxpayers, have been at work for some time ch ng up the business trans- actions of the eity council and the Board of Education during the last threo or more years. Tho committee selected to report on the action of the city council is Ed Johnson and John J. Ryan. They have thewr report all read, It isa lengthy one, covering forty E:gl!n of legal eap paper. This _report is to read in public some time during the lacter art of next week. John Doe, John McMil- an and Dave Anderson are the committeo controlling the report. It is said the report contains some_spicy reading, although it is not belleved that the city dads have done anything that will complicate them seri- ously. The school board is being looked into by J.J. Breen and Frank scnonm Haynes Bros., expert accountants, have been looxing over these books for the benefit of the board as well as the committee and will be ready to report soon, They found the city treas- urer's books correaf. ko a nickel, but some shiftless figuring lx)s\{:ccn done by the dif- ferent secretaries of the board. While noth- ing crooked is developed the reckless manner of keeping the books shows how easily it would have been toxob the city if any one hud been inclined tb do so. All theso reports; will be made public in a few days and it is. guite likelv that a new process of bookkflfi ipe will be inaugurated by the school boaj 5 and perhaps the city council will see its way clear to follow a new line of proceedure”in’ settling the different propositions that come before it. Strange Street Scone. The old man mopji¢d the perspiration from his wrinkled brow,and uttered a slight moan as he carefully took from his shoulder a small white coffin aud set it on the edge of the sidewalk at thecpier of Twenty-fourth and M streets. He had'no sooner placed the coffin.on.the walk-when an independent and tired young miss of wbout 8 summers planted herself on the coftin; jabhed her albows into her knces and her fingers in her mouth. A few fcet away stood an aged lady and another girl a fow years younger than the one on the casket. Officer Thomas stood watching the party and was interested to know what was in the cofin. He approached the old gentleman and made inquiry, *‘We are all right, Mr. Officer. I can't af- ford to hire & team to carry us; that's all. The baby died and we are just going home to bury it. There is no harm in that I hope.” Being assured that poverty was no crime in the eye of a South Omaha cop, and espe- cially right now, the little family of mourn- ful people moved on toward their little home in the vicinity of Twenty-second and R streets, and the big hearted policeman went on thinking what a fine thing it was to have a pay day oace a month, even if a man did have to do police duty for $60 a month. An hour later the same little party was seen following the father, who bore in his arms the same white coffin and the baby corpse. This time they were on their way to the buryiug ground. Prospects of an Aibright Motor, “*There will be an electric motor line run- ning between South Omaha and Albright be- fore the snow flies again,” sa1d & man Fricay evening who does very little talking through his Stetson. ““The company that is operating this line now is not making a fortune, as every one knows who watches the travel. It costs about $300 a month to keep the horse cars going and after the wires are stretched ana the poles placed it is said it will not cost much more to put on and operate the elec- tric cars than it does at present. In addi- tion to the convenience in speed ana comfort of the motor cars over the mulo trains we now have, it is believed that the travel will more than double. 1t is safo to say that Mr. Markell is figuring with the Omuha Street Railway company to supply his line with eleotricity, and it is not at all unlikely that they will come to an agreement on terms,” Mra.

Pt HERMAN COHEN- ARR :STED, Attempt to Sell u Disreputablo Shect on the Streets Suppressed. Herman Cohen was arrested last night by Officer Dotiine on'the charge of selling a disreputablo sheet, known as the Sunday Sun, on tho strects. Thisis the first ap- pearance of this so-called newspaper on the streets of Omaha since it was most effectu- ally suppressed by the passage of an ordi- nance several months ago prohibiting its sale. Cohen reccived 500 copies of the paper this week, aud, as agent for Preston, the man who prints the sheet ina back room at 315 Dearborn street in Chicago, began to offer it for sale through«small newsboys who were ignorant of ' the fact that they were violating ~ “the law in selling it. Two or .three little fellows were crying out the name of the paper and Officer Donahue was, ordered to confiscate their stock of Suns and try and find out where they got the papers. One little fellow was arrested but on stating that Cohen gave him the papers to sell ne was released and Cohen arrested. Several copies of the paper were taken to the station as evidence against the prisoner. When Cohen was searched a letter signed' “The Sunday Sun” with a rubber stamp, was taken from him. This letter stated that 500 copies of the paper had been sent to him. The letter further stated that the Omaha department in the paper would be given great prominence on the }give the country a first page and would be written so that the agent would have vo difficulty in selling the papers. The lotter.was addressod to Cohen and intimated that this city would be given a “turning over.” STOLEN FROM A SUICIDE, Some Busy Thicf Helps Himself to Carl Stelimacher’s Effects. The officers vho have been working to solve the supposed mystery concerning the death of Carl Stellmacher report that there is nothing to warrant the belief that the man met with foul play. At first there secmed to be some circumstantial evidenc but ail clews were followed to the end with- out results. ‘When Stellmacher’s goods were evicted by Constable Dingman some person or persons stole a case of very fine surgical instruments which were presented to the unfortunate man when he was an ofticer in the Prussian army, A privatg drawer in one of his desks was also robbed of some papers of more or less importance. ‘The oficers have made a thorough search:for the missing articles and have visited all the pawnshops, but were unable to locate them. [t is thought that the stolen property has been removed from the city or has been carefully concealed by the thieves. . It is now agreed that Steil- macher committed suicide while in a fit of despondency. PYTHIAN SI1STERS, New Temple lustituted Last Evening— Names Ofoers-Elect.

AGAINST THE SHERMAN ACT Junior Benatsr Announots His Attitude Plainly. SENATOR PALMER IN FAVOR OF REPEAL Mlinois' Does Not Think There Will Ba Any Great Speed Shown In the Revision of the Taril—Buck” Kilgore Agnin on Deck, WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Senator John M. Palmer of Illinois has arrivea here from Springfield. The senator talked freely concerning local and national pol- ities. ‘“The first thing to be done, of course,” he said, “'is to repeal the pu chasing clause of the Sherman act. I am for the repeal without any condition attached. After we got repeal thero will bo time to talk of something to take the piace of the Sherman act. 1 have made it a principle of my life never to swim a river MI[ [ get to it. The dis- oussion of substitutes for the Sherman act can only complicato the question, and we want to get rid of the main evils before getting into any complications. One thing is sure, I do not believe in a return to state banks asa means of in- creasing circulation, It issuggested that we allow national banks to issue notes up to the full amount of their bonds. In foct, every man who comes to Washing- ton will have a financial scheme to pro- sent, and I have concluded to wait and look at the schemes instead of advo- cating one.” Tho senator was asked if he antici- pated a speody revision of the tariff. “I am afraid,” said he, ‘‘the countr will be disappointed in not seeing much speed in anything. It is not generally aporeciated that the silver states have sixteen votes in the senate. This is a tremendous powor in delaying otion on the financial, tarift or any other meas- ures. The great states of New York, Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania, with an aggregate population of nearly 20,000,000, have not as much voice in the United States senate as these little silver states with an aggregate popula- tion of about 2,000,000. This should not be forgotten by the people who expect that congress is going to do something right off.” In due time I oxpect 10 soe a careful revision of the fariff and the financial distross of the country will probably complicate and delay: the work."” Congressman “Buck” Kilgore reached town last night, and at once began buck- ing with his customary cvergy. Ho is the champion filibusterer of th¢ house, and he says with frankness that he ex- pects to top off hisrecord as a filibusterer by fighting to tho last ditch against the repeal of the silver \uu‘clmso olause of herman law. Kilgore comes from xas, where he has a free silver con- stituency. Ho said today with much Texas biuster that he did not'care what Cleveland wanted. His constituents wanted free silver or the present Sher- man law retained. Ho proposed, how- ever, to exhaust every device of parlia- mentary obstruction before permitting the repeal to pass. He wus confident that the democratic house could not adopt a cloture rule, us they had 8o long denounced ‘‘gag-rule.” And without cloture Kilgore smilingly asserted that he would be able, with the assistance of a few other filibustering silver men, to very interesting spectacle of delayed legislation. Four Conspicuons Facts. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Four facts are conspicuous in the statements of all the congressmen who have arrived: 1. That thoy are unwilling to commit them- selves definitely as to the course which they will pursue with regard to silver legislation until they shall have read the president’s message. 2. That it is-in- evitable that tariff as well as financial legislation must be considered. 3. That there is little doubt that the extra ses- sion is simply the beginning of the regular session of the Fifty-third con- gress and that it may be expected to continue certainly until next May and possibly until noxt August. et e Good Prospects for u Strike, EVANSVILLE, Ind., Au —There 15 a pretty good chance for all the tr men of the Evansville & Terre Huaute road to go out on a big strike. Trouble has Dbeen brewing for some time since President Grammer expressed his inten- tion to order a general reduction of wages. The cut has never been enforced, as the moverent met with unanimous disfavor when the matter was first men- tioned. The officials of the road met with the men one night this week and came very near convineing them that the cut was absolutely nocessary. The road had been paying fair wages to its employes, but since the financial stringency and the reduction in rates it is argued that wages will have to be cut to muke things even up. 1t was learned last night that a com- mittee of railroad men had been sent to Evansville from Terre Haute to consult with the local employ Whatever passes between the ¢ mmittee and the ocal committee will not be known un- less a strike is declared. No definite action is likely to be taken in the mat- ter, should things develop unfavorably for the men, until Sunday, when Mes jugene Debbs and Bugene Howard with other railroad [eaders will be here to address the workingmen, CHICAGO, Aug. 5.—An Osceola, Ia., man writes to the Inter Ocean a plan to solve the vexed question of bimetallism as follows: My plan would bea coin consisting of pure gold worth 50 cents, 188 grains of pure silver worth 50 cents, which, amalgamated, would make a dol- lar of 200 grains. This should be the standard dollar or unit of value and a full legal tender, which would bo nearly the size of our present half dollar, Free coinage should be authorized in this proposition, nearly 16 to 1, which would establish bimetallism in fact and not in name only, Our present output of $33, 000,000 of gold per year would thus ab- sorb an equal amount of silver, and thers is no reason why such_coins should not pass around the world, Doubled, a $2 coin would still not be as big us the present silver dollar, which could pe re- tired. This would beat the Sherman experiments and could easily be made to differ in appearance from the present coins.” LR Mooushiners fiescued. WHEELING, W. Va., Aug, 5.—Stephen Welch and his wife were arrested yes- toeday at Alexander, 100 miles south ot this elty, for moonshining. Waelch es- caped from the officers and Mrs. Welch was captured and confined in a house in the town. Later a mob of her sympa- thizers surrounded the house and kept up a fire on the guards. Over twenty shots were exchanged before the officers surrendered and the woman was re- leased. Three of the mob were injured and were carried away by their friends. More trouble is expected. e —-— Statement Verifled.

DURYEA'S VISIT, How Ho Has Boon Received, and How e Nas Romembered Old Faces. Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Duryea, who 18 now pastor of the leading Congregational church in Omaha, whero he is much beloved, as is known is on a summer visit to one of our Long Island seaside resorts, and at the time supplying the pulpit of tho C avenue Presbyterian church, of which he was tho first pastor, says the Brooklyn Eagle. His presence in this city has been the signal for tho gathering of hosts of his old friends to hear him, and to greot him with their cordial expressions of wolcome. On Thursday ovening, Decomber 26, 1867, Dr. Duryea, having rosigned the pastorship ©of the Marble Dutch Reformed church, New York, was fustalled pastor of tho Classon avenue Presbyterian ochurch, Sorvices were at that time hold in tho chapel on Monroe stroet. On Docembor L of the following yoar tho cornor stone of tho present handsome and snug edifice was laid, Rev. William H. Booth of New York, Rov. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler and Father (3leason harticipated fn the exercises, urye In 4870 Dr. was somewhat im. paired for lack of neaded rest, felt compolied t retire. Circumstances led. him to accept a call to one of the leading and wealthy Con- gregational churches in Boston, under a romise that his pastoral duties would bo ight. This deprived the peoplo of this city of much instructive proaching and lecturing at the hands of ono who was to thom a veri- table schoolmasier. When worn out by domestic affliction in Boston Dr. Duryea was ready to abandon scenes and assoclations which nad all boen_pleasant to him, and so when Omaha stretehed out its hands to him , whose health with an_earncst und unanimous call to come over and help thom, he - ac. cepted, and has now for a numbor of years boon rendering valuable. sorv- fco indoors and_outdoors in_that Nebraska flold. _At the closo of the Sunday servicos during his temporary stay in this noighbor- hood he has boen the recipient of ovations. ‘e congregations, despite tho intonse heat of the weather, havo boen largo and atton- tive. The sernions have been eloquont, ear- nest, sympathotic and full of _oducative power. Old parishioners from New York have been to hear him and to speak with him, and it has been an interesting spectaole for 'an obscrver to witness the friendly Juick identifications, the splon- did memory of faces ovinced by tha preach- er. Young people become mature have bean most. readily recognized by the pastor of their youth. Then there isan exchango of remenibrances of events in which all wero mutually interested long ago. Thero has been the kindly, fervent words of consolation ses where bercavement had done its Old men who bave grown older haye ulso flocked around their former pastor to test nim, but the names are on his lips the instint hands aro clasped. Mothers have introduced their sons and daughtors, whom Dr. Durycs baptized, und these young people have shared with thoir parenis tho happy reunion with tho pastor of their in- . Dr. Duryea never manifests hurry. He sooms to_onjoy the friends who have the longest stories to tell him, and he listens to reminiscences with a gusto which shows o onjoys His present visit has surce of great joy to hundreds who whom he has seen us wel who have taken their departu n h loft the city. Dr. Duryea has boen taxing his out door preaching. and as a result voico is strained, and be has been a, after the services of today, to close his mouth for some timo to come, and to remain perfoctly quiet, and subscquently to bo more moderate in the ex- pen diture of his speaking powe The con- tact of Dr. Duryea with his old frisnds has been a very refreshing speotaclo to those who have seen 1t, without having vreviously Iknown him, With the exception of being a little gray, the doctor appears but livtlo ch d from the times when his fu form were famidar in our streets. ‘The im- pression made by this visit and b; puipit | mimstrations during the last three Sun L { of July is a wholesome one, and_has given birth to a longing for a Brooklyn rounion of amore permanent and lasting character.
