Senator Currie of Sargent commented on this fact while in the city for a bMef visit this morning. Ho stopped here enroute to his home from Omaha, . “Fusion leaders fn Custer county have held frequent conferences during the last two or three weeks," sald he, “for the pur- pose of devising some plan of destroying the middle-of-the-road movement. It will be remembered that the mid-roaders were pretty strong in Custer county last year. The vote was not especially large, but it attracted some attentioh just the same. It Is doubtful whether the conferences will have the desired result. The mid-roaders do not seem enthusiastic about rejoining the fusion forces. There has been some talk lately of soclallsm among the mid- ronders, but the prosperity of the county will prevent that movement from gaining any headway. The mid-road element forms a pretty serious problem to the fusionists and 5o far as the general public has been able to observe they have not been able to arrive at any solution.” Had Heard of Carrle.

Two of the hits were for two bases, one for three and the last for four. TiI that time the | Omahans had been able to get only four hits during the entire previous six innings Five thousand people saw Pitcher Payne make the hit that rendered possible this Erist of tallies and probably won the game. Calhoun had opened the inniug with a two-bagger, but Reid and Toman fol lowed with outs. There was little hope | then, but Gonding took his base on balls and Payne was to bat. He did just ex actly what was wanted, sticking to deep right for two bases and scoring both run- ners. | That gave Omaha a lead of two and the | perspiring crowd was happy. But it was not to stop there. Genins, who had al- | ready made two hits, followed with a three- bagger to left, scoring Payne. nost anything was expected then, and it came. | Captain Stewart pushed the ball clear over | the left field fence and he and Genins walked home. That was All in that in- ning, but in the next Toman, who has been rather weak at the stick lately, put in his oar for another three-bagger and scored on Hemphill's error in misjudging a fly ball from Gonding's bat seventh tie, the Owaha | runs over its op- Springs yesterday were not allowed another | on, although the locals the cighth, making the inning, Home Ran Coants One. | | | | The one run of the visitors, meanwhile, was also a home run and it was altogether the greatest hitting day that has been seen here for weeks back. Shafer, the clever third baseman, did this and won the four bases strictly on merit, for he runs like a flash and it was his speed that got him there in time. | Payne, who twirled for Omaha, more than satisfied his admirers. He struck out four, gave one base and allowed but seven hits, thoroughly scattered. Gaston, for the visi- tors, also did wonderful work till the fatal seventh. His record was three bases on balls, one strikeout and nine hits Tim Donahue, the famous ex-Chicago catcher, was not in the game with the Colo- rado people and thereby hangs a tale. Tim left Chicago to take a half interest in the team with Billy Hulen, But Father Rourke was quickest with his claim list and long before Hulen or anyone else had thought of claiming Tim, President Hickey recelved formal notification from Rourke that he had done so. Now Rourke says that he later sold his claim to Hulen for $100, thus letting Tim g0 west, but the money was never paid. Rourke's letters and demands for satisfac- tion were unnoticed, he says, 8o he wrote Hickey. The latter finally wired yesterday that Donahue should play no more tiil that score was settled. With 5,000 people wait- ing for the game, Rourke put the proposi- tion to Hulen yesterday just before time for the game to commence. The latter flatly refused to pay any money, saying that he had never agreed so to do. Then Bill eaid that Tim couldn't play otherwise. Hulén Offera a Blam. Hulen sald that Tim would play or the | team wouldn't, and dared Bill to send the great crowd home. Rourke answered that he would do just that, and said the catcher would never go in the game till his claim was paid. The visitors put their bats in the sack and donned their jumpers. Mean- while the crowd had gained an Inkling of what was going on and a storm of protests went up, everyone demanding a game in spite of any little trivial technicalities or financial differences. Rourke remained obdurate and the Mountaineers started for the gate. Hisses and angry remounstrances came In a storm from the seats. Then Um- pire McDermott got busy, and the end of it as that he persuaded Hulen to stay with his team, leaving Donahue out. So Law was moved from first to catch and Ream put on the initial bag. Both did flawless work all through. No one felt worse about the trouble than Tim himself. He maintained all along that Rourke was unjust, but offered the Omaha manager $30 from his own pocket to let him play. He said he didn't want to pay Hul- en's share of it, but would pay his own as half owner of the team. It was 4:05 when the game finally commenced, and bitter teeling between Rourke and the visitors was displayed all through, Donahue says that no game will be played today. Score OMAHA.

Plainview, Hay to reach New Haven, he looked up the railway time tables and arranged for an early departure so that by 9 o'clock Sec- retary Hay was on a Pennsylvania railway train speeding toward New Haven before many of his friends in Washington knew of the calumity that had befallen him. As soon as the president learned of the news he dispatched a telegram to the chief of his cabinet to overtake him in his jour- ney northward, expressing in the kindly and which characierizes president’s communications in such cases the depth of the sorrow he felt for the bereaved family. Secretary Hay's col- leagues in the cabinet followed this example and Secretary Long also sent a personal letter of sympathy and condolence. The cabinet officers will attend the funeral of Adelbert Hay if [t is feasible for them to do so. Oficials All Call. After the secretury's departure and when the news had spread through the city by the morning newspapers, friends of the Hay family and officials began (o call at the Sixteenth street home to leave their cards. Assistant Secretary Hill was first among the official callers and later there were many others. Later in the day all official Washiogton had left its tribute of sympathy at the home Adelbert 8. Hay was the ecldest son of the secretary of state and was born while the latter was living in Cleveland, 0., about years ago. His second name Is Stone, which he bears in memory of the late Awmasa Stone, bis maternal grandsire. He was educated in the private schools of Cleveland and prepared at St. Paul's academy at Concord, N. H., for Yale. At the university he was a popular scholar, for though outwardly reserved In manner he was capable of warm and steadfast friendship and was of charming manners. At Yale Adelbert gave much time to ath- letics and thus splendidly developed his paturally robust frame, so that he stood at 21 tully six feet high, with chest and limbs of corresponding proportions. The stal- Wart figure of young Hay, with the look of reserve power in hia face, undoubtedly went tar toward securiug for him the respect and consideration which are mot always ex- hibited to one of his yeal Courage with H ength. With this physique went a degree of per- sonal bravery that, though never recklessly or boastingly evidenced, was still mani- fested on more than one occasion. An in- stance of this was shown at Gibraltar. Young Hay was on his way out to the Phillppines, a passenger on an army trans- port carrying a volunteer regiment to Manila. At Gibraltar the men had shore leave and when the hour for salling arrived half the volunteers were not aboard. The company oficers rounded up those o Gib- 543 | Grand Island, Hoffmelster and | 2. ~(8pe- | 4016 T raltar proper, but they could not go in uni form in chase of the rolsterers, who had |4 tound a welcome hiding place among nw|., Spanish drinking house keepers across the | border Adelbert Hay volunteered to | as provost marshal and he soon emptied | the dives and dragged out the skulkers and | | drove them down to their ship An’extended public was scarcely | possible for one of his years, yet in the short time that elapsed between his grad uation from Yale and his death he hea! caree h achleved A reputation worthy of emulation. | y Upon his return from the Philippines trip | for some ’ | | | | above referred to he cast thing to do. Hin South African K | The situation in South Africa tracted his attention and ft | impulse that led him to to Pretorfa to replace It was realized here that | be besieged and that an official status would be IMttle protection againat this | phase of war. Then the expenses of livell hood in Pretoria were far in excess of the | salary of the consulate, so that he who took the place served his country at a por- | sonal loss. These considerations did not | g deter young Hay and he went forward to his post and there succeeded in discharg fng as a simple consul diplomatic duties requiring the exercise of the greatest tact | and good judgment. The Boers recelved him with suspicion, knowing of his some- | . time residence in England when his father | was ambassador at London. But’ this he |, | soon dispelled and in the end the Boers |y learned to trust him and they showed their gratitude for the many kindly offices young Mr. Hay performed for their sick and wounded comrades on the other side of the lines. On the other hand, the Britieh prisoners who filled the Boer places of detention in the early stages of the war owed many | necessities and many Iittle luxuries to the | American consul. Fever was epidemic in | Pretoria, too, and the consulate work was | ¢ exhausting, but not until the wave of war | had passed over the place and the city was | again safe and quiet did Mr. Hay feel that he could leave his post. Long before he actually started away from Pretoria he had recelved permission from the State depart ment to return to the United States on leave of absence Charity H Debtor, He left South Africa last November and | returned to the United States by way of London. Soon after reaching Washington ho tendered bis resignation as consul at Pretorfa. It had been for him an ex pensive employment. In a year he had spent his father's salary and his own. Of course much of this disbursement was in the way of private charity, fthe | calls on which in the siege and afterward were simply irresistible. Since his resignation Mr. Hay had entered into no regular employment, though he had de- voted himself in part to aesisting in the conduct of his father's personal business However, by the irony of fate there had | just come to him one of those golden op- portunities that he had seized upon grate- fully and was about to apply himself to it when his untoward end came. It had been the proudest recollection of John Hay | life that he had served Abraham Lincoln as his assistant private secretary. So it was to be the lot of Adelbert Hay to serve Willlam McKinley in a like capacity. He had beer offered and had accepted the posi- tion of assistant secretary to the president, a place now held by Major Pruden. The latter, after many years' service at the White House, has heen made a paymasier in the United States army. He was under orders to report to the paymaster gencral January 1 next. when Mr. Hay was to have succeeded him. EXPLANATION OF HAY'S FALL Most Acceptable One ia that He Dozed While Smoking in a Window. about perience, had at- was his own volunteer to go Consul Macrum Pre lu m i te NEW HAVEN, June 23.—When Adelbert S. Hay was found dead at the New Haven House this morning balt a dozen physiclans were summoned, but were unable to do any- thing, and the body awalted the orders of the coroner's deputy, Medical Examiner Bartlett. That officlal pronounced it a case of accidental death, and so reported to his superlor, Coroner Mix. The body was removed as K0on as pof sible to the rooms of a nearby undertaker, where it awaited instructions from the family. Repeated efforts to locate Secretary Hay by wire were futile until the early morning hours, when a request from the father reached Mr. Seth Mosely, the pro- prietor of the hotel, to take care of the hody until the members of the family could reach town. Meanwhile the sensation occasioned by | the tragedy continued. Every movement of young Hay was traced in an effort to pene- | trate the uncertainties of the awful affair. It was learned that the young man on May | 20 left Washington with his mother and two sieters for Newburn, N. H., the summer home of Secretary Hay. Last week he left New Hampshire for New York, where he spent some days. He arrived in New Haven Iast cvening in time for dinner, and went immediately to the New Haven House, where he was assigned to room No. 47, third floor, front, directly over the Chapel street entrance to the hotel office. Young Hay was one of the vanguard of the academic class of Yale '98. He had come to his old college town as a member of his class triennial commlittee and ar- rived early to assist his colleagues on the committce In preparing for the festivities of commencement week in general and for the class supper in particular. He took | dinner with some of his classmates and at § o'clock hurried to the Hyperion theater, where he witnessed the evening perforw- ance. He spent a quiet hour in the hotel | corridor and smoking room after the theater and shortly after midnight retired | to his room, remarking to the hotel clerk | that he was sleepy and leaving a call for | o'clock this morning. Laborer Sees the Pall, & He was not seen again until his body came whirliog through the air to its de- [ & struction (wo and one-half hours later. The hotal where the unfortunate young man was quurtered faces on Chapel street, the principal thoroughfare of the city, and is | almost under the eaves of the university of which he proudly claimed as his alma mater. There was a solitary spectator to the terrible tragedy, a laborer on the city streets. At the hour mentioned the work- man saw the form of a man falling through space. An Instant later the body lay di rectly in front of the main hotel entrance. The horrified laborer rushed to the spot and his shouts brought others. The usual crowd gathered In it were several be- lated Yale graduates. They bent over the body. One of them, Julian Mason, & son of the late Edward G. Mason of Chicago and a classmate of young Hay, drew back and, horror stricken, cried: “My God it's Del Hay." By this time the hotel clerk had reached the scene and made the identification com- plete. The body was clad in pajamas. Ono the window sill of the room occupied by young Hay was found a partly consumed clgarette. Ou the floor near the window was a ring worn by the vietim, His clothing had been neetly arsgnged and the bed clothes were drawn back. The bed, however, had not been occupled. Here the mystery becomes intangible. The popular theory seems to have it that the young i man. having prepared for bed thought to indul, in a “'good night smoke,” that he chose the cool of the window, possibly dozed, lost his balance and fell from the window. The presence of the ring on the Boor, owever, gave rise 0 the fadcy that!
