2 CHRONICLE OF THE DIAMOND Whioh Telleth How the Foo from the Sonth 8ide was Vanquished. KING SHANAHAN DEFIETH LYSIC THESTOUT And the Young Men of the Chosen Wax the Everiasting Stafing Oat of the Tosts of the Over Confis dent David. ND IT CAME TO pass on the second day of the ninth month, Anno Dom_ ini 1808, Anno Mundi B80T, And Lysic said unto all the people: Now shalt thou see that T won't do a thing to David, meaning Shanahan, king of the Non. pareils. And thero was a_great cry throughout all Omaha, such as thero were none like unto it, nor shall b like unto it any more. And all the people came from without the city's walls, aye, even unto many from Coun- cil Bluffs, with bolied shirts and other costly nd assembled within the amphi- theatres that boundeth Sportsman’s park on the south, and with breath bated, and eyes eager, did await the dark brown voice of Umpire Haskell to set the battle in array. And Lysic further spako: But against any of the Young Men’s Christian associa- tion shall not a dog move his tongue, that all may know that the Lord doth put o difference betwoeen the boys of tho long hair and those who follow David, the Shanahan. Then Bukkl Wrought Mightily. Then Bukki Stoney, son of Jogli Stoney, of the tribe of Dan, maketh ready his bat of willow, and shaketh 1t like a lion doth his mane at Nabal Miller, the son of Ham, who becamo frighted, and Bukki reached first by walkiog on his two fect. Zelophehad Dolan fumbleth the carcening sphere and Bukki continueth on to second: furthermore t0 third, by Caleb Camp's sacrificial offering, thence home on a hay-eating erratum by Adonizedic Gatewood, the Jebusite. And a loud shoutini arose, in ull the land were reigned the children of Tsracl. Much elated thereat, Lysic lifted his cedar of Lebanon into the air and, smiting thrico at the erratic wiuds, went out with an high hand. Aund Iv came to pass that Anhithophel McKelvey unto himself did also likewise, and loud murinurings of rejoicing arose from the cohorts from neross the Jordan. And wlien the Shanahans spat the juico of the Yucatan upon their ushen stafls and begun to smote the sphere, the children of Lysic lifted up their cyes, and thoy wero sore afraid and cried out in toncs that piercoth. Lysle speaketh with Good Cheer. But Lysic said unto his men: Bukki Stonoy, Anbithophel McKelvey, Caleb Camp, Abishai Rustin, Jephthah Lowry and all of e that bo, fear ye not, stand still, hit hard and run flect and see the salvation up the sieove of Zebulon Conner, which ho will show to you today, for the Shanahans whom yo have seen today, ye shall see them again, Labor Day, when' thou shall chuck them into their little tombs, and yo shall seo them again no more forever. “Then Zelophehad Dolan lifted his rod and swatted Zebulon Conner, knocking one of his curvatures through the pillar of cloud, onewhich mighty swat reached he first. “There was fear in Zebulon's thoracic de- partment, and he hurleth the globe with much forco against Adonizedee Gatewood’s ribs, and tho Philistines parclied on bags | and 2. . s At Which AllL Marvelleth Greatly. In this epoch and at this time, King Shan- ahan, from his throne on tho bench, called Doeg Jellen to take his stick and go forth and lambaste one of Zebulon Conner's pret- zels until its teeth did rattle. And Doeg did what the King commanded, ouly the per- verse sphere went straight as the dove doth fly into Abisbai Rustin’s shovels, and Abis- hai casteth iv pack away from him into Shammah Angel, on the first cushion, and low and behold! both Adouizedec and'Doeg ‘were doubled up like twin juckkuives. Even this did Doeg do before the whole tabernacle, and the jaws of the congregation did emit in concert an allfired loud noise! But a dark cloud, like unto a wet blanket, sottled over the jubilant hosts. a moment thereafter when Shammah Angel let Gerry- mander Muhoney's crack get away from him, on whict did Zelophehad Dolan flec swiftly home, and the score was tied—in a doubls bow knot. Sihon made unto himself_another goodly swat, but it counted naught, for Hoham Bradford could only hoista small fungo to Ahithophel McKelvey, So His Nume Was Praised. Thus did Abithophel save Tsrael that day out of the hands of the Second ward Philis- unes, aud when tho people saw that the Shanahans were all out they feared Ahitho- phel and believed in him, and one vearded patriarch spako: “Oh, who is like unto Ahithophel M- Kelvoy, among the gods, with the burden of old age upou him, glorious is he with the stick, fearful with the Jaw, doing wonders, He streteheth out his tree and buse hits il the air liko unto the stars in the wilky way, and he opencin his mauleys and grabbeth everything, even unto the infusoria, that flyeth in tho aie!” Iy was then the fruit of the Plymouth Rock and the Bramah, until the' fourth clo, when the Shanahans didst compass anothier big fat tally, It was here that the Philistines did most maltreat Lysic's relat and there were loud lameutations in the grand stands. “They were filled with auger aud vlaced the toes of Lheir running guiters ugainst tender portions of Zebulow's anatomy, aud brought him 10 o lovel with earth anit ‘bound him as with fetters of brass, and the women and the children and the old men of tho Young Men's Christian association dowinion did grind their teeth as the farmer grindeth his meul. But out of it all Sihon Lacey wus the ono Tarrier to cross the platter, Yes that wits good enough for the Shana: hans. and they gathered themselves to- cuher, aud Davia, the king, us i burnt offor- ng o the gods, 1ita clgaretie, and then they dud all vejoice with loud demostration, Lysiv Dotieth the Foe, And Lysic lifted his voice, with the uid of a dereicis, and spake: The Shanahans are upon the, oh children of Israel, awuke from thy stupor, while 1, as I have ofttimes be: fore on Lhese grounds, go out and shake my- sell. Aud Lysic wist not that he had, like Sumpson of old, lost his hair. And the Philisunes didst continue to mock him and make sport, even unto the sixth epoch of the game, when the Young Men's Christiun Associations prepared that which they hrought in and it was thrice as wuch as they had gathered 1w any other ioning, 1u the buginning Lysic spake children, even unto Zerminh Lowry, fill their shoes with feet, and ye shall “know that Zobulon's good right apmi buth brought you from cut the land of Egypt, and at even ye shall eat the flesh of the spring chicken, with the spring extracted, and yo shall be regaled with the bread called cake, and ye shall know that Zebulon is prince of all the twirlers. Then straightway they enclosed the Shanabaus roundabout, and chased them, and trod them down with ease. and pushed them over against the fence toward the sun- setting. And it came to pass, when the clouds haa been pushed —not shoved—aside, there were 8 quartet of obeso tallies loomiig up in the ohronicles of Lysic, to two for the Shana. hans. In the following three cycles there was a famine of base hits in the laud, even unto Luysic's followers, as also unto the wyrmidons of the king from across the travks. Shavahay, the King, Was Sore, And there were thunders and Lightoings in Davy's brain, and & thick cloud upon his heapt, and a8 Hobam Bradford, Goliath Let all me Kennedy and Nabal Miller, the son of Ham, toyed successively with the soughine zephyrs, he cried aloud: O, great Zebulon- ite, I pritheo, let thine enemy gloan and gather a fow poarly swats with their ashen | clubs | N Then as Sethur Flynn and Nabal Miller again found the brow of eventide with their migity clubs, in large disgust, he uttereth: | Surely it would take one of the tribe of Shanaban, the great, longer to make a safe swat than it took the Lord to maka heaven | and earth, the sea, and all that in thewm is, T | verily believe, and 1 wot thay would cut'a betteérfigure in a chop house, or a brickyard, than on a fietd of base ball! | And King Davy reclineth his throbbing head upon his hands, while Zebulon Connor | respondeth: 1 will do unto thee, Great Shauahan, that which is right in_mine own eyes, and that 1s to keep putting forth rid- dles'to youin the shape of my choicest Weeping Water slants; if yo, any ope or all, ean certainly declare it mo within the three swats I give ye, and I find it_out, thon will I | give yoa clean pairof socks and several pieces of silver. But if you cannot declaro it me, then shall you give me the socks and silver. Sethur Mocketh Zebulon, And Davy, as alast cha sent Sethur Flynn up to’ garner theyprizo, and as Sethur stood fornenst the plate, he eried: Now | send off your riddle and I will rend it as & would a Tipe custard pie. And Zebulon cut them loose. thrice, and Umpire Haskell ¢ loud and far reaching: “You're out!"" But Sethur told not his father or his mother what he had done. Here the adjudicator held the game while Lysic strode out on the green sward, and mot Zebulon, and did_obelsance, and kissed him, and they asked each other of their welfare, and Lysio gayeth on parting: ““Come Zebulon, when the shadows deepen, to my mosque in the New York Life and i will have o V awaiting thee," And 50 it came to pass that the Young Men's Christian Associations “win” again. And .when Jethro, Lysics father-in-law, heacd of all he had dono for the Young Mew's Christian Associations, he sent him a Waterbury watch, and thero was much merriment in Lysic's heart thereat, for he felt that Mrs. Lysic could never maintain n very accurato tab on his_nocturnal outgo- ings aud incomings by a Waterbury, and he sent thanks unto his father-in-law.

Governor Matthews Empowers the Militia tu Stop Dominick O'Ma'ley’s Fights, INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2.—When time is callod for the mill between Griffo and Lavigne at Roby next Monday night it has been ar- ranged that the state of Indiana shall be represented by from 200 to 400 of the state mihitia, armed with rifles. Governor Matthews has ordered them out, and Adju- | tant General Irvine Robbins will bLave charge of the expedition. The governor's spécific orders have been given, Theso orders are that he is to stop the fight or pre- vent it, even if it takes powder and ball to do it. The club would probubly have been al- lowed to run but for the fuct that the lust wwo events at Koby, which have been marked by disgraceful riots, were followed by the announcement that the club was pre- paring to import a hundred or more Pinker- tons, o thing expressly forbidden by the laws of the state. The recent riots have convinced the governor that the Roby in famy has reuthed such a stage as to justify his use of troops o suppress it, and he in- tends 1o wipe the Roby crowd off the face of the earth. * Murder Done und Con One of the principal reasons which have led Governor Matthews to declare war against the Koby gang is the utter luwless- ness which attended the fights After the Smith-Goddard fight a man was murdered within 100 feet of the cluband to this day the public doesnot kuow who he was, Whether his fricnds took him away or the murderers dumped the body into Somo of the swamps thatabound in the neigh- borhood will probably never be learned. Ho was killed and that-was the end of it. Nothing has been done toapprenend the murderer and it would boa practicul impossi- bility to find him now. 1t would be easy, however, to drag a mur- derer out of the Koby scrapping pen, for of any of the villainous gatherings which have o polluted the soil of Indiana the riff-ruff which hus gathered at_the Roby ringside haye been the worst. The scum of northern Indiaua has hung around the outside and the brutal blackguards of the Chicago leveo hover on the inside. The only differenco had been that one gang of ex und prospective jail birds had “de price” and the other had been unable to borrow it or steal it before the fight began. The decent citizens of this state have at last brought such a pressure to bear on Gov- ernor Matthews that he h: decided to chase them und their following of mis- creants out of the state, O'Malley has claimed he will have his fights conie off in spite of everything. If ho tries it next Monday he will see the biggest fight of his lifetime, and it will not be for dollars either, AL LEAGUE GAMES, Marey Wright's Men Keo'uso to Lot ( Second Piace.

REPLIED T0 THE RAILWAYS | State Board of Transportation Files Its Auswer to the Last Oharges. SOME CHARGES AGAINST THE COMPANIES N8 Shat the Former Petitions Were Filod i the Wrong Court—Lack of Jurisdiction Alleged —Some of the Statements, Ata late hour yostorday afternoon the State Boaxd of Transportation, assisted by its attorneys, jumped into the ring and filed its answer in the cases against the Union Pa- cifie, the Missouri Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railronds, three of the corporations which some time ago brought suit tofdeclare the provisions of the Now- berry maximum freight bill, passed at the last session of tho legislature, null and void As a whole, the answers are almost iden tical with those filed by tha Chicago & Northwestern, the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Railway companies, claiming that have mtermingled their freight and nged their rates in order to evade the provisions and the intent of the law. In the answer to the Union | however, some new features are pre the board allegring that in the vear 1862 the company was chartered by the government of the United States to_ construct o line of road from Omaha, on the Missouri river, to apoint on the Pacific coast. On condition that the company would do this and have the road in operation within a certain lemeth of time, the government, free of cost. granted it land which aggrogated 13,000,000 acres, sides the rught-of-way along the entire line of rond, where the samo passéd over and through the public domain, This is not all that the government did for the company. for according to the allegations contained in the answer, subsidies aggregating $27, 513 were given, drawing interest at the rate of & per cent, payably annualty, Subject to Stato Laws, So far as the road is concerncd the board alleges that a large share of it trafic is through tho stato of Nebraska, and that for if for wo other, the road is sub- aws of tho stato, and cons quently 1s governed by the tormsof the Newberry bill and not effccted by the laws | of any of the other states through which the | road passes, Its general offices are in the | city of Omaha, where the president und zeneral managers and other officers reside, thus malking this city its general head: quarters and the point from which all orders issue, Touching upon the question of capital stock, the answer in the case sets forth the fact that the capital stock and the bonded deby exceed by a large amount what it would cost to reproduce and cquip the 1o The general claim i made v large blocks of the can- ital stock was watered and that other large blocks wero issued as bonuses to parties who had performed labor for the road and its management. In the aggregate, tho cd alleges that at the cnd of the 802 the funded debt of the rond $110,031,607, or an amount mwuch oxcess of what it originally cost, rding this matter, it is alleged in making its figurcs, the road has no it to baso its caleulations upon these ious amounts and t/ the_ profits avising from the operationof the road should not be estumated on this valuation, but wpon the actuai cost. The excessive freight rates which the road has peen charging, the bourd avers, is not only in violation of the provisions of the Newberry bill, but also in direct violation of | the interstate commerce laws of the United States. Another allegation is to the effect that on account of the United States having granted tho subsid: heretofore mentioned, mone of the | rights of tho state of Nebraska to legislate over the affairs of the road have been abridged. If thereis any question about the main lines of the Union Pacific road, the board alieges that there can be none regard- ing the branches within thestate, as they. begin and end within the boundaries of ‘N braska and consequently must be governed by the provisions of the maximum bill.

The Rock Island lines, which aro within_the state, the board alleges, are subject to the terms and | provisions of the state laws.

Evidence from Mrs. Blackburn Whicl Help Miss Pollard’s Suit, LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 2.—Facts o come to light in connection with Miss Madeline Pollard’s suit against Repre- sentative W. C. P. Breckinridge which will have an important beuring upon the result. It seems that soon after an in- terview appeaved with General Duke in a Louisville paper he received a lotte from Mrs. Blackburn., Owing to the close relations that General Duke had with the late Governor Blackburn, and the no less cordial friendship which had always existed between Mr: Biackburn and himself and family, s} felt justified in addressing him on deli- cate subjects. She told him that had he known the facts he would not have | undertaken to defend Colonel Breckin- ridge. She went on o say, in substanc that the latter had told” her of his en- gagement with Miss Pollard, had | placed Miss Pollard under her chaper- | onage and had especially requested Mrs, | Blackburn’s kindest consideration for Miss Pollard, on the ground that sho would soon become Mrs. Breekinridge. appears also that Senator Joe ackburn, who was half-brother of the nor, became acquainted with Miss Pollard, and when he heard how M Blackburn bad been impo ed on he ae- clared on several oceasions and without secrecy that he intended holding Breck- inrridge resvonsible for his conduet, Should the case come to trial during the life of Mrs. Blackburn she will prove an important witness.
