—a WVEY'S TOELY HOME RUN New First Basoman Lifts the Ball Out of tiie Lot When Needed. Omaha’ FOUR RUNS WERE SCORED ON THE HIT Jameson Had Lost the Game but the Bat- ting of the Home Team Pulled it Out d Onco by the Rourke Family, They have won a gafe, After presenting the Lineoln aggregation of base ball players with six sucenlent tallies yesterday afternoon the Omahas maliciously went to work and batted out a winning. Jameson was in the box for the home team and pitched a very effective game outside of his wildness in the first Inning, which netted the visitors three unearned runs, McVey,Man- ager Rourke's new acquisition, made his ini- tial appearance on first base and signalized his debut before an Omaha audience by smashing out a home run with the bases full. He put up a good fielding gams, too, and is evidently a ball player. The locals fafled to score In the first, Seery took a base by virtue of his ability to distinguish good balls from bad ones, and Munyun struck out. McVey's ground hit to Pequigney afforded a double play, which re- tired the side. Then the Capital City aggregation came in and scored three times without a hit. Me- Carthy hit a hot one to Rourke, who let it 80 through his fingers, and a wild pitch ad- vanced him a base. A quartet of bad balls sent Johnson to first, and Jameson's wild throw of an easy bunt performed a similar office for Mertes. Another wild pitch ad- vanced every one a base, while McCarthy crossed the plate. Ebright got a base on balls, and Johnson was thrown out at the plate on Speers' hit to Rourke. Sullivan went out from Rourke to McVey, but another run was purloined on the play, and Law- rence retired the side on a.long fly to Moran. This was bad enough, but when Mertes litted one of the Swede boy's curves over the left field fence in the second inning, bringing in another trio of runs, the fans doned a disgusted look and gave it up. But in the third inning the Omaha crowd showed unmistakable sings of returning animation. Boyle got a base on balls, but Jameson's long hit fell into Lawrence's basket. Then Mr. Seery injected a littlo enthusiasm into the game by a clean two-bagger. A base on balls for Munyun filled the bases with one man out. At this juncture, McGreavy accidentally propelled the sphere over just that portion of the plate where McVey likes to seo them. He will know better here- after, for Mac took one turn on his heels and ‘smacked the leather clear over the street car tracks. Four runs came trund- ling over the plate, while the crowd took occasion to stand up and yell for fear it wouldn't get another cheno In the fifth Omaha made it binding by adding three runs on hits by Munyun, McVey, Wood and Fear, abetted by a couple of errors on the part of the visitors. They scored once each in the sixth and seventh, and in the eighth Munyun added another by the third home run of the game. Lincoln was unabla to score more than once after the second inning. In the elghth McCarthy got a base on balls and it Johnson’s long hit brought him home. The score: OMAHA. AB. R. BH. TO. A. B Be6ry, M.oa il iereoss o4l 1 Munvun, 2 HARERETY A MeVey, ‘1b.

KANSAS CITY, April 28—Kansas City won the game from Minneapolis today by sheer strength at the bat, Klusman alone making a single, two doubles and two honre runs in five times at the bat. Minneapolis made ten runs in the third inning, through McGinty's wild pitching. Darby then went into the box and that settled “the visitors for the rest of the game.

Incineration Has Become an Every-Day Affair in This Country, Some months ago there died in New York o romantic German, who bequeathed his body to the flames and his ashes to the winds. To heighten the effect he ordered that his incinerated remains be scattered to the breezes from the top of the Liberty statue. His requests were followed, and his ashes found a resting place in every clime, carried on the decks of vessels and on tho waves of he Atlantic like a ghostly messenger to all the points of the compass. The incident created but a passing notice says a New York correspondent, for crema- tion has became an every-day affair with us. Since 1885, when five bodies were incinerated at Fresh Pond, L. I, over 1,000 crema- tions have taken place there, and of these the Germans claim at ieast 600. From 1881 to 1894 the cremations in Amer- ica number almost 2,000, and today there are in this country sixteen incorporated crem: tion societies, with crematories at Fresh Pond, L. L, at Detroit, at Roxbury, Mass., at St. Louis, at Los Angeles, at San Fran- cisco, at La Crosse, at Baltimore, at Pitts- burg, at Troy, at Waterville, N. Y., at Ger- mantown, at Buffalo and at Cincinnati. One curious inconsistency has developed in the agitation for cremation of the dead. A host of great men and women have declared themselves unequivocally in its favor, but at death few have left directions for incinera- tion. Among those who were outspoken in their views were Phillips Brooks, George Willlam Curtis and Prof. Joseph Leidy. Of these only the last named was at his own re- quest_incinerated, the services taking place May 5, 1891. The rules governing cremation are inter- esting, those at Fresh Pond, L. I, being as follows: Each application must be made by the person haviug charge of the disposal of the body or his representative; a blank form prepared by the company must be filled out nd filed in the office of the company. On the fllling out of this application blank, pay- ment of the incineration fee, and the pres entation of the physician's certificate state- ing time, place and cause of death, an order directing the incineration is given the appli- nt. To this order the undertaker in charge of the body must have attached the customary certificate of the Board of Health, ~ Every incineration must be at- tended by some relative of the deceased or rcpresentative of the family. Tho price of incineration is $35. This doos not Include transportation or under- taker’s services. Children under 10 years are cremated for $25. No speclal preparation of the body or clothing is necessary. The body s always Incinerated in the clothing as received. The coffin In which the body Is carrled to the crematory Is never allowegd to be removed from the building, but is burned with the body. In every instance of death from contagious disease no expusure of the body is permitted. Incineration may be as private as the friends of the deceased de- sire. On the day following the incineration the ashes are deliverable at the office in a receptacle provided by it. Among recently compiled statlstics con- cerning cremation, those of Fresh Pond, I L, have a peculiar interest, in that they giv the nationalities of the incinerated. The following birthplaces were given for 1,038 bodles cremated there 26 United States, 347; England, 37; Austria, 22 Switzerland Franc Hungary, Ireland, 10; Italy, 8; Scotland, 4; Belgium, 3; Holland, 4; Ind 4; Cuba, 3; Australla, 2; Canada, 2; Wi Indies, 1; Asia Minor, 1; on Mediterranean, 1; unknown, 1. Classified as to sex and age they were: Men, 674; boys, 56; women, ¥ girls, 33 In San Francisco from November 12, 1893, when the crematory was put in operation, to February, 1894, fifty-nine bodics have been incinerated In St. Louls the cremations last year num- bered sixty-two. Fhi'adelphia has & record of sixty-eight cremations ta 1893, 1; Denmark, 6; Russia, 3; PLAYING FOR A PRIZE CUP| Omaha Cricketers Begin the Season's Contest with a 8hort G:me. BOWLERS WERE ENTIRELY T0O STRONG | Batters Made but Little Hendway Agninst the Steady Work of the Vanghans, Mar:hall and Doyle -Battered by the Sudden Storm. ther was so wintry ers turned up at the Place to make a v the season had so One week ago the w that not enough cricke ground out in Kountze game possible. Yester far advanced that not only did a full com- plement of players appear, but the game was then very nearly stopped by a regular summer storm. Fortunately, however, the storm was a little too far to the east to do any real damage. About 4 o'clock a very promising start was made, although none but the cricketers who were cricketers and nothing else were there. Base ball and lawn tennis were each of them very powerful counter attractions. The teams were the ones chosen some two weeks ago for the opening day, although the opening day had been postponed for a week. They were captained by the president and the vice president of the club respectively. President Lawrle took his men to the wicket first, and the side stuck together fairly well until a score of 84 had been put together. Six months without a bat in one's hand seems a long time when the oppor- tunity comes around again to take up the “willow” and try one's best to best the howler. Additional care was taken by all the players yesterday by reason of the fact that the records of the day's play were to count toward the averages for which cups will be presented at the end of the season. Bowling has always been a strong point with the Omaha cricketers, and with four of the best bowlers of the club in the fleld it is not to be wondered at that the runs were not more_plentiful. F. H. Marshall and A. Gavin opened the innings of the president’s side, but did not make a very promising start. Marshall was very soon out for a paltry two by a ball from orge Vaughan that hit him on the foot and bounded off onto the wicket. Georg Wilson, however, made a good stand against the bowling of ‘the two Vaughans, and it seemed that they would never get a ball past him. When W. R. finally got Lim out of the way there was not much further opposition. Lawrie, who went in third wicket down, was Qispos:d of by a very pretty catch by William Henry Smith, late member for the Strand di- vision. He never in all his life collared a ball so effectively. It really scemed as if there was no possible escape for the little cricket ball, once it came within range of those big hands of the said W. H. S. Dr. Young went in tco late to do much in ths way of real tall scoring, but he tied with W. Vaughan for the second highest total of the match, and moreover he carried out his bat. Just as the last man of the side had gone in the wind began to blow sand across the piteh in such clouds as to make any more play for the time being out of the question, and preparations were hastily made to leaye the field to the elements, which seemed to have something very unpalatable in store. For some time it had been evident that rain was falling very heavily in lowa, and it seemed that at last the shower had crossed the river and that it was going to take possession of the cricket fleld. But it did not, that is not just yet. The inning was finlshed, the men were placed in the field for the opening of the other side's innings and W. Vaughan and Taylor took their places at the wickets, Doyle sent down a ball. That was all. Rain drops the size of silver dollars began to fall. Every player made a bee line for the stops of the neighboring church, the nearest of them, that is. When the rain finally censed and the sun came out In the west and smiled across the river gt the rainbow on the other side, the game was quickly brought to an end and the players went home satisfled with the first day's cricket of the scason of 1804, The Presidents had won by 34 to 20. The bowling averages below speak as elo- quently as any words of the excellence of tho bowling. But the fact that the winning side’s score was obtained without the aid of a single extra should be noted as evi- dence of the good flelding of the losers. Scores: & PRESIDENT'S TEAM. . H.

Pugilist Arrested as a Vagrant CHICAGO, April 28.—Lem McGregor, otherwise known as the “St. Joe Kid," was arrested last night on a vagrancy warrant. The police claim that McGregor has been living in Chicago for some time without visi- ble means of support, and that they wanted to discourage idleness.

On the contrary, the champion has avoided all THE SWELLS, Up the the forms of notoriety vsually assoclated with the prize ring and has shunned also, much to their disgust, the usual gang of sports who expected to constitute his retinue The result is that the great fighter has be taken up by an entirely different class, who aro making a social lion of him. Men of position and wealth, Who have learned that he is a gentlemian boxer and not a bruis and blackguard, have entertained him clally this week for every hour he has been able to spare. The champion has been in vited to breakfast, luncheon and dinner daily by men who would not think of as:ociating with such pugilists as Sullivan or Mitchell. Corbett appreciates these honors keenly, for he makes no secret of his desire to prove himself a gentleman in spite of his occupa- tion. The absence of the rough element in his audienca is being recompensed by an fn- creasing attendance of such classes of lndes and gentlemen as ordinarily visit Drury Lane theater, so that the financial success of his visit is assured. He Is laboring now under an embarrassment of offers, A large music hall has offered him $2500 weekly for the summer, which he will be probably unable to accept on account of engagements in the provinces, Ireland and Paris. T SWEET AND SERIOUS. The Conductor's Little Deadhead Passenger Had Found IHer Mother, One cold, dreary morning—there was a keen norther blowing—the northbound train pulled out of the San Antonio depot, says the Texas Siftings. As the train sped on its way the conductor made his usual tour to collect fares., There were not many passen- gers on board, and in the last car there was but one. A thinly clad, ragged little girl, with a pinched, white face, occupied one of the seats. She was so busy talking to a rag baby that she was oblivious to the kindly faced conductor, who looked at her with surprise and amus>ment, “Where are your folks, sissy? ‘Who came with you to the train?" “Dolly came with me,” she replied in a matter-of-fact manner, holding the doll at arm's length and_erifically examining her toilet. “What's your nne? “My name is Fanny, called me ‘Little Pet “Where is your tonio?" “I don't know where she Is, but me and dolly are going to find her. Mamma went aw, s o but mamma always mamma—in San An- When did your marama go away?" “A long, long time &go. They put mamma in a long box when ghe was asleep and she went away on the cars; but me and dolly will find her.” : The couductor sat’down on the seat op- posite to his little deadhead passenger and by further questioning satisfied himself that tho child’s mother bad died and the remains had been taken to seme other town for in- terment. “But you don’t knpw where your mamma went.” he sald. . ., “Me and dolly will find mamma; she told me so last night” - « “But you told me just now that she went away a long time ago."” “I know; but she came back last night. Mamma kissed me, just like she did before she went away. She looked so white, just like she did when they put her in the long box The conductor took one of the child’s emaciated hands in his own. Her hand was hot and there was a feverish flush on her wan cheek “You are not well, sissy. Fll back to San Antonio to your papa.” The next moment two thin arms went around Lis neck and the child was pleading and sobbing. “Don’t send me back. Let me go with you and find my mamma. That woman will beat me again. Don’t send me back and I'll give you my dolly.” The conductor understood it all. The little half-starved walf was running away from some brutal woman, possibly a cruel step- mother. It was only after he had promised not to send her back that she released her hold on his neck. The conductor fixed her up a nice bed with his overcoat and left her happy, chatting with dolly about ‘‘mamma,’ but two tears rolled down his cheeks as he left the car. Several times during the trip he looked into the car and saw his little deadhead passenger sleeping peacefully, hug- ging dolly to her breast. At last the northbound train crossed the long bridge over the Colorado river and halted at the Austin depot. The southbound train had already arrived, for here it was that the trains met and the passengers got dinner. The conductor hurried to the dining room, and in a few minutes returned with a cup of coffec and some delicacies for his little friend. Just as he was entering the car he was halted by the conductor of the southbound train, who held a telegram in his hand. “I say.

The strikers show no signs of weakening and are hopeful of the ultimate result. In the Huntington district overything is at a standstill. The East Broadtop and Hunt- ingdon and Broadtop miners are out fo a man and say they will remain out until th strike is settled.

There is already some talk of a compro- mise and it fs belleved that an understand- ing will be reached between the miners and the operators without consulting the presi- dent of the United Mine Workers associ- ation. BARBOURSVILLE, April 28.—It is glven out herz today on gocd authority, coming from the miners themselves, that at least 200 of the 300 miners at the Jellico mines in this county will resume work Tuesday under the old contract and scale of wages. to be that the WATCHING AND WAITING. Nelther Side In the Great Northern Strike Making a Move. ST. PAUL, April 28.—The Great Northern strike situation today was one of quiet wat<h- fulness on both sides, %o far as appearances went. It is probable that much was being quietly done by the company but there was no sign of it. No trains, either freight or passenger, were moved in either of these cities and so far as heard none were moving along the line to the coast. It Is a complete tie up of the 4,495 miles of track in half a dozen states. The other roads in this city who use Great Northern tracks for terminals, were allowed to switch with their own train crews, but no regular switchmen were at work. The men avowed themselves as in- tending no violence and seemed to do all in their power to keep others from injuring the company's property. The brotherhood men have apparently not joined the strike actlvely, further than to refuse to work without regular switchmen. President Hill has claimed to have plenty of men ready to work, but no trains went out. He said to- day that he would make no move until he was ready to start a train through to the coast and that he was preparing for that time. President Hill today received a telegram from Superintendent J. D. Farrell of Spokane saying: “All your engineers, firemen, con- ductors and brakemen here are ready to go to_work when you call on them.”’ Mr. Hill says he has more than enough men to go to work. The engines for brauch line trains were standing in the union depot yards today waiting to be attached as soon as the trains had been backed down. They had been brought out of the round house without any difficulty and were manned by old engineers and firemen in the Great Northwestern serv- ice. The cars, however, were not there, and thelr absence was explained by the fact that nobody would handle the switch engines to move them from the yards. In the yards there was no appearance of unusual excitement, A number of the regu- lar switchmen were on hand ready to work, but as there were no yard engine crews they had nothing to do. It was impossible to crtain how long this state of Inactivity might continue. Mr. Hill Is, however, busily engaged in completing his plans to operate the road. Not a freight car is moving on the Great Northern line from St. Paul to Seattle. Pas- senger trains are running irregularly to Grand Forks and back. The track was torn up two miles east of Devil's Lake, N. D., today and the train is held there. Reports from Minot state that 140 feet of track there was washed away. Tonight at 10:40 o'clock Colonel Swayne received a call from Marshal Cronan of North Dakota for the assistance of troops and four regiments of the First battalion of the Third infantry, under command of Major Patter- son, have been ordered for Grand Forks at 6 o'clock in the morning. DEVIL'S LAKE, N. D, April 28,—Pas- senger train No. 3, carrying the usual quota of deputy marshals, in charge of Marshal Cronan, was coming along at a good gait towards Devil's Lake this afternoon when it was signalled by a farmer. The train was stopped and it was discovered that some one had removed the rail, spiking it down again in such a manner it would have ditched the train had it not been discovered. ST. CLOUD, Minn.,, April 28.—Another desperate attempt was again made by the company to send the freight train on west, but it proved absolutely fruitless, and the engine has been returned to the round- house. Many crews were Palled without avail. CHICAGO, April 28, — The Labor will fake a hand in the great ern strike. The general executive ‘board today ordered the men out, and Grand Master Workman Sovereign left for St. Paul tonight to give his personal supervision to the initiation of the Kuights part in the general strike. COAL MINERS STILL SOLID, Knights of North- and More Men Quit » Break ln the Line Work. BV VILLE, Ind., April 28.-At a meet- ing of the coal miners last night, it was decided when they leave the mines tonight to not re-enter them until they recelve or- ders from the headquarters of the Natlo Mine Workers unlon. This affects about 600 men here. The mines along the Evans ville & Indianapolis railroad and the Louis- ville, Evansville & St. Louis railroad are idle. The 600 factories in this city are threatened with a shutdown, as there is not a week's supply of coul on hand. The men seem determined to remain out to the end. JELLICO, Tenn., April 28.—A meeting, at- tended by hundreds of miners at Coal Creek this evening was addressed by several organ- iz'rs and al the conclusion the men agreed to come out May 1 T. LOUIS, April 28.—The coal miners strike reached Belleville, I, today. A party of men from the mines south of here came into the city and stopped at Maule mine, where 100 miners are employed.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 28—The miners at Ansted met today to consider the proposal of a committee of Ohio mincrs that the men go out and they decided not to go by a vote of 256 to 6. There are now only four mines closed in the entire Kana- wha valley and the strike is regarded here as a failure. PITTSBURG, April 28.—The endeavors of Colonel W. P. Rend of Chicago to induce the local coal operators to hold an immediate conference by which the miners’ strike could be settled, seems to be futile. The majority of the mine owners arenow re- conciled to the strike and are willing that the mines remain shut down. They claim they have plenty of coal on hand and that the market will not feel the strike for several wecks. CONNELSVILLE, Ta., April 28—On Monday the Oliver Coke company will begin a wholesale eviction of the Hungarian fam- ilies occupying their houses. There are over 300 families, and they are the most desperate in the region. They say they will not leave the company houses, and bloodshed is ex- pected If the sheriff attempts to force them out. The sheriff says that nxet week wil! see hundreds of families of the striker: thrown out of their homes. SCOTTDALE, Pa., April 28.—The delegate convention today was attended by sixty-four delegates, representing fhe entire region. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the original demands of the national organiza- tion and demanding recognition of their lahor organizations. The convention then adjourned to mect again on Monday, when a conference committee will be appointed. WOULD NOT WORK WITH SCABS. Secret Scheming of the Company Foiled by gineers' Loyalty. SEATTLE, April 28.—It has transpired that the Great Northern has a well laid plan to break the strike on this end of the line, but it was foiled by a clerk in the ranks of the strikers. The incipient break arcse from appeals to the loyalty of engineers and trainmen to their brotherhoods which came from the east. Being promised recognition of brotherhood men by the company their enthusiasm for the strike began to cool and they announced themselves as ready to go to work. At a conference with the local officials the engineers, conductors and brakemen wero promised concessions if they would go to work. The engineers and train- men promised to accept, provided that the firemen, who were not present at the meet- ing, would assent. I was arranged that the train should go out at the regular hour this morning. The firemen, however, refused at A secret meeting to accept the conditions and the engineers rofused to go out with scab firemen. As the firemen were a unit on this question this disposed of the forces of the strikers. All operators on the line have received rders from Chairman Jones of the Order of Railway Telegraphers to return to their duties, as the strike was not ordered by the order. The telegraphers last night replied to Chairman Jones' dispatch, saying they sympathized with the American Railway union and would stay with the strikers ROAD'S CHARTER IN DANGER. ings to Comp to Run Ity Trains. HELENA, Mont.,, April 25, were begun in the supreme court today on behalf of the attorney general to compel the Great Northern to operate its lines within Montana.

The court has taken the application under consideration, ST. PAUL, April 28.—Regarding the Hel- ena suit to compel the G t Northern to operate its lines in Montana, Sam Hill, pres- ident of the Montana Central railroad, a oranch line of the Great Northern, and son of the president, says: “There is nothing in it. I do not see how it can affect the com- pany adversely and regard it merely as an attempt to injure the company in the minds of the public. It will fail cntirely in its object.” He further sald: *“We merely want the public to know that this strike wos undertaken after two propositions for arbitration had been made by J. J.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., April 28.—All the employes on the Bast Minnesota division of the Northern Pacific have gone out in sym- pathy with the Great Northern strikers and the tmmense yards are as quiet as on Sun- day. It is rumored that flour handlers at the docks will strike, but this is not believed as the men are receiving good wages and have been idle so long. All attempts to start trains are abandonc Strikers are holding meetin; At ) tonight a message was received by H. L. Grant of the machinists and D, B, Lantry of the engineers on the eastern Min- nesota division, saying that the schedule of last year had been signed and telling them to return to work. A regular messuge was received for the firemen. The men will not go to work, however, unless the scheduls is signed with the brakemen, section men and others of the American Railway union, and wired to St. Paul to that effect. They received a message from President Debs telling them not to go to work unless they heard from him. Not a wheel moved on the road today. Financial Status of the Strike, GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 28.—TIn re- gard to the financial status of the strike Chairman Rober of this city says that the strikers have enough money on hand (o stand a six weeks' sioge and enough has been subscribed to last through many months. A telegram from the Amalgamated smol- ter men 37,000 has been placed in the American National bank at Denver to aid the American Railway union in this strike. Wabash Men Settle Their Grievances. ST.
