A Review of tlio Games Flayed With the Omaha Club and a Comparison of tho Flay and Management Weak Spots tn the Kauea City Club The Blues were defeated aguln by the Ontahas yesterday iu a game they should have won hands down They made more base hits and at more opportune times than ihe malms, but Sow-ders was as wild as the old man from Borneo and the team played a ragged game behind him, Fiukett making three errors and Sudih and Foster oue each, all of which let in runs. That is the story of the game aud a sad yarn it is. There is no dcnyiug the fact that Manager Muuning aud hu' meu are not plnyiug tiic tame that they are getting paid for or the iud of ball that they are capable of.

It is a sorry sight to see an aggregation of ball players like the Blues suffer an unbroken line of defeats at the huuds of Omaha. Eight straight defeats from a team that is costing but a little over halt what the Blues1 pay roll amouuts to are inexcusable. Some of the fans about town arc laboring under the impression that the Blues are not being liberally paid for their services, wheu the fact is there is not a man ou the team but is receiving more money than the player holding down the same pusitiou ou the Ouiahu team, and hus been treated with more consideration than any player in any other club iu the association. They cunuol possibly have any kick eoming to them on their treaunent by the manage ment, aud it their loose playing is premedi tated it is a sad aoniuitmury ou the gratitude of the average ball player. It is hard to believe that the Blues have been playing poor ball intentionally, us they appear to leel as badly over their defeats as any fun in town, hut the fact remains that their work has been of the careless, muiffer-ent order that is the result of a lack of disci pline.

The Omaha dub management is strikingly in contract with that ot the Blues aud is doubtless due in a large manner to Mauager Shannon's executive at ility aud complete control of his men. 1 hey are required to report regulurly for practice every tuorninc and the player wnose appearance iudicates that he has not had needed rest is reprimanded and subsequent indiscretions arc punished unsparingly. Ou the tieid he is in absolute command and the result is that team work follows. He is a base ball general, firm but not a martinet, and is looked up to us a leader whose orders are issued to be obeyed. If men are on bases they play ball and the succeeding butters use every artifice to advance tiie base runner home, in the field they are alert and closely watch the signs given them by tbewutciiful captain aud the battery, instead of going into a trance, as do the Biues ireqtieutty.

They do not giue themselves down to one spot in the field, but move like a piece of muehincry at the will of the three players referred to in silent auswer to the signs given them. They return a ball to the infield promptly and without any nonsense or unnecessary funny work and consequently there is no running down to second on a slow return of the ball through the high gras as was permitted by Foster in one of the OtnoliA games. Shannon hit single and when he saw Foster jerk the ball along the ground he knew its speed would be retarded by the gruss and sprinted down to second. This same dangerous return of the ball is also applicable to others of the Biues. The Blues are also listless in backing up the buses and some of them will not attempt to make first base if they drive a ball through the infield anywhere near a fielder, and Stearns, Wilson and others of the players have been thrown out at first after a ball has been fumbled or thrown wild; in consequence.

THK ARMY OP PITCHERS. The army of pitchers under contract is also detrimental to the working strength of the team. Sowders, Swartzcl and Harnborougb should be aide to do the work and by pitching regularly would not be so wild and irregular in their delivery and would become better acquainted with the weaknesses of the opposing batsmen. nils hi is weak as the receiving end of a battery, being slpw in his movements and excitable when men are on bases, and the stolen bases that follow do not encourage the man in the box. Gunsnn should be played regularly as long as he is fit on account of his knowledge of the players and for his hitting ability.

Hoover's right field play has thus fur been a big disappointment. He docs not cover the ground he did last season, mutls easy fly balls and fumbles grounders, and is not hitting in his 1890 form, if be is incapable of doing better he should be retired, but if carelessness and indifference are bis ailment a suspension without pay is the only proper course to be pursued in bis case. THE OMAHA CUBS FI TTRF. The Omaha club in spite of light patronage plays hard winning ball, and is well in the lead for the championship. Uncle Dick McCormick threatens to sell out the team and would doubtless be justfied in so doing.

The club has been a steady drain on hirn this season and the business men of-Chimba cannot blame him if he declines to advertise that town and keep it before the public at his own expense. The disbanding of a club in a major league that is in the front for the pennant has no precedent in base ball history, nnd it will be a shame and disgrace to Omaha if the chib is permitted to break up before the dose of the season. bat will become of the Omaha club is a mere matter of conjecture, but shrewd observers of th base bull weather vane would not be surprised to see the cream of the Omaha club go to the American associations Washington team. Miannon has been ottered liberal inducements to jump to the Washington club and Fade Hick hiving wearied of base ball would not hesitate to give his players an absolute release under favorable conditions, and the players would then be free to sign where they pleased and would doubtless follow Shannon's lead. This view of the ease is an alarming one to the Western association as it would leave a gap in it that would be hard to fill and lose from its ranks some of the best players in it, THE NBRIES Jt'RT ENDFD.

But to return to the Oaaha-Kansas City series just closed. It was woefully disastrous. Conway, Sowders, Bwanzel And Husted. They were all hit hard. The Omahas made 57 runs, 54 base hits and 9 errors.

The Blues scored 22 runs, 34 hits and 17 errors. The story is simple. It was lack of team work.

MltrliHs, tt dnffln. pf Mh SHIP, lb 14 I TwttrMl, in pnnntllr, 3b. I 4 Waith. I larks, I Tfttsti 9 IS fi JOHN BARDSLEYS CONFESSION SUPPRESSED by the Pledger. It Wat a Bomb That CouLtlued Tow Much Dynamite to Bull ith Conservative Mr Chililo, and lloLatd It Gontly Away tu Ilia Olttco Safe Philadelphia, July 10.

Rumors have been prevalcut for several days that a coa-fessiou, written and sigued by John Bards-ley, the defaulting city treasurer, had been submitted for publication to a daily paper of this city, but had been retained and suppressed in consequence of the fact that more tliau oue man of national reputation was implicated iu the statements therein made. It turns out that there is more truth than fiction in this story. The paper to which the confession waa submitted is the Fublie Ledger. The coufessiou is a long document, telliug pretty well all that Bardsley kuows and also including some sensational features which he had gathered in conversation with Gideon W. Marsh, the defaulting, absconded president of the Cheatuut street bunk.

Bardt-ley sent it to the Ledger iu the belief that as an independent paper, haviug no affiliations with any of the political parties iu Philadelphia, it would be safer in iu hands than in those of any of the party nubUcations. while it was also his opinion that its publication in the Ledger would free both it and that paper from any charges of political bias. The managing editor of the Ledger who was out of tow when the document was received, was telegraphed to return, and did so by the uext train. ith two other members ot his staff', he carefully went through the confession from beginning to end. Ilaviug done so, it was the unauunous decision that it would be better that the confession bo suppressed.

The reasons therefor are officially stated in this language: The dot'll meut was repetition of accusations and scandals against reputable persons upon uo better authority than oi two w.tnessis wholly unworthy of credit, John Danlslcy and Gideon Marsli. A large portion oi it was, however, hearsay Wstuuony. It is the habit of tho Lntjer to dee. me to publish scandalous attacks upou individual character upon any such testimony, consequently its publication Was suppressed and the document impuuuded. This extraordinary statement has set everybody asking two questions: First, what are the accusations and scandals, and second, who are the people who are indorsed by the editor of the Ledger as "reputable persons? Taking into consideration the manner in which Johu Bardsley was smuggled into court before the regular hours of business to be sentenced, the manner in which he was smuggled back to jail, and the fact that not only have newspaper men been refused access to him but he ims been refused ail opportunities of communicating with the outside world, there is on almost unanimous demand on the part of the people that the content of the impounded document be made public property, uo matter wbom it may hurt.

GIDEON MARSH BOND The governments claim on the $20,000 bail bond given by Gideon W. Marsh, the fugitive president of the Keystone bank, with William II. Wanamuker and J. II. Joues as sureties, was filed in the United States district court yesterday by Attorney Read, A dispatch from Washington s-tys that the recent request of the nmyor of Iluladelptiia to the state department that all United States cousuls be requested to keep a lookout for Marsh has been complied with.

The sukpiena, issued by common pleas court No. 1, directing II. II. Yard to appear bciore the investigating committee this afternoon, was served upon Yard yesterday. His counsel appealed tront the order to the supreme court, and until the court makes a ruling all proceedings will be stayed.

fllLL HAND IN HAND TtITII GRAY. The New York Governor Has tt Nlgn Brant Interview Willi an Indiana Ed tor. New York, July 10. A morning paper says that Scott Ray, editor of the Shelbyviiie, Itemocrat, is in New York on an important mission. For several weeks he has carried the name of Governor Hill at the head of the editorial page of his paper ns a candidate for the Presidency.

Mr. Kay was not exactly sure whether this was approved by the governor. Mr. Kay said last night that the governor had pleaded pressure of business as an excuse for lading to answer letters of inquiry. So he canto East nnd saw the governor, lie says, in Albany the other day.

He claims that Governor Hill said that be could con tinue to publish him as a President, al candidate. Mr. Ray, to a reporter last night, prefaced his remarks with the assurance that what he said was official. Here is whut he said: came East from Shelhyville to see the governor as an authorized agent of ex-Governor Gray, to learn just where Mr. Mill stands on the Presidential question.

Mr. Hill told me he was in it and would have the New York delegation beyond a doubt. You may tell Governor Gray, the governor said, that he should see to it that the Indiuns delegation is instructed for him. We will do the rest, added the governor. Whut does that mean, Mr.

Ra? "Why, that means that the Democratic ticket in 1892 will be Hill and Gray. Mr. Kay asked Governor Hill where he stood on the silver question. The governor, he said, was surprised that everybody did Dot know what his opinions were. Why, didnt you read my Brooklyn speech? asked the governor.

Mr. Kay said he did. and printed it in his paper. Governor Hill said that it wasnt good policy to eome out i'ust yet on the question, but his policy would ie satisfactory to the Booth and West. Does that mean free silver, Mr.

Raj? Well, thats what 1 inferred. NO MEETING IN JIT.Y. The Proposed Industr nt Conference Postponed Until Wnihlnfffons Birthday, 04 New York, July 3a General Master Workman Iowderly issued yesterday a circular to all local assemblies of the Knights of Labor on the proposed industrial conference which was to have been held July 29 to take up the platformof the Farmers Alliance and join hands with the third party. The proposed conference has received so little encouragement aside from the Knights that Mr. Powderly has decided to declare it off for the present and to hold a meeting on Washingtons birthday, 1H92.

in the cireuiar Mr. Powderly says that hut three officers of labor organisations other than the Knights of Labor have signified a willingness to co-operate In such a convention. Mr. Powderly continues: The federation of agricultural and industrial organisation has been formed, is ip successtul operation, and has adopted a declaration of principles to be voted for at the polls. He says it would be a waste of time to rail the same men together particularly since the confederation already formed has agreed to meet on Washington birthdny, Jh92, and prepare for ths coming struggle in selecting the best parts of the vnrioos platforms and engrafting them in a short and comprehensive declaration of what the industrialists would have at the 'masthead in a political campaign ALL I OK CtM ELAND.

Forbes, state entomologist, is experimenting with a few of the lurvtc of a parasite supposed to be destructive to the Iiessiau fly. A considerable number of Hessian Hies and the larvie mentioned were put in a box so closed that they could not escape or other insects get in, and thus the experiment was begun. The larvie have hatched aud are flourishing. They are almost microscopical and seem to have been created solely to prey upon the Ilessittn fly. The parasite is already tornied, wasp shaped.

Wiih unerring instinct it finds the place where the Hy 1ms hud its eggs under the busks or straw, and boring don into it the parasite lavs its eggs inside Ihe eggs of the fly. There it develops into a giub, consuming the egg of the fly and destroying it. This is an outline of what has been proved by the experiment made. The parasite was first discovered committing its depredations upon the Hessian fly iu the wheat fields of Southern Europe. It lm9 uot been found in this country.

Frof. Forbes has another interesting ex Eeriment in progress, which may turn out to very important to producers. He has been trying on cabbage worms, the eflcct of the fungus so destructive to chinch bugs. A few days ago fifty worms were placed where they would get tne fungus on their bodies. They are nil dead now.

The fungus grew with incredible rapidity on the bodies of the worms, sending down delicate roots, so that the worms were a network of fine fibers when they died. A MORMOX I A THE It MOLLiXGER.

The women who witnessed tho miracle testify to the truth of this story.

8TARTL1G IP TRUE. A Tate of Cannibalism From llrnil Which Strongly Recalls the Wichita Kom Hires. New York, July 10. According to the morning papers, a newspaper has been received here from Chilhimhua, Brazil, which publishes a pleasant little after-dinner tale of the arrest of a man named Clement Vierra at Salinas, Brasil, for practicing cannibalism.

orter Merrill Te'I Good Story on the Old Cuuipniguer. Many are the good stories told about Father Bill Daly, the veteran turfman, but the following told by J. B. Merrill, now starting the gallopers at Washington park, Chi cugo, is entitled to the palm: Old Bill was training a horse for an under done angloiuuniuc, said Mr. Merrill, and us the horse had bad legsitwas necessary to keep him standing in a tub of hot waterforanhour in the uioruiug to get the intlauiinaiion out.

The dude along one day just as Daiy had put the horses forward legs in the hot water, and pulling off his glove he stuck his fingers in the water and pulled them out blistered. Mr. lhtly! Mr. Daly! he yelled, you wilt sculd this horse to death! its cruelty gross cruelty to animals to subject a horse to such torture and I want you to understand, Mr. Daly, that 1 think you are just horrid to do such a thing.

Father Bill sized him up very slowly and said: Young man, you are full of prunes. '1 hat water is uot too hot. Ill bet $10 that I can hold my fopt in it for five minutes without a murmur. The dude skinned a twenty off his roll and laid it down on the straw, and Father Bill put a double eagle ou it to bold it down and stuck his artificial leg in the tub. At the end of five minutes the young man walked away disgusted, and as Daly folded up the bill and returned the double eagle to its place in ius purse a little colored boy who had been ou tlie verge of an explosion while the bet was being decided, said: For de Lords sake, Mas' Daly, why didnt you bet him more than $20 when you knowed you had a dead sure thing? Twant no dead cinch, says Father Bill, and twenty is all Jli bet on my memory its gettin so uncertain of late years.

Sposin Id a forgotten and stuck the wrong leg in the tub? THE HENLEY KEG ATT A. The Flual Result of the British Rowing Clubs Contests, The English regatta at Henley closed yesterday.

THE WIFE OF GENERAL DE PEYSTER SEEKS A SEPARATION. 4Cruel and Inhuman Treatment Alleged, by Which Is Believed to lie Meant tbs General's Terrible Tongue Lead-is of New York hociety New York, July 10. The Four Hundred were profoundly surprised to-dny when they learned that preliminary steps bad been taken by Mrs, Lrielle Livingtone DclVystcr for a suit agaiust her husband, General John Watts DePevster, for separation. The proceedings were begun at i'oughkecpsie.

Ibe ground set forth in the complaint is cruel aud inhuman treatment, In May of last year the couple celebrated (heir golden wedding The occasion was made a great social event and accounts of it and a description of the numerous presents received were printed by newspapers all over the country. General DePeyster fairly revels in revolutionary ancestors; in fact he is descended from leading colonial families ou both sides. His paternal great-grandfather was John Watts, sr.f who succeeded Governor Tryon, and nearly all of his forefathers have in some way distinguished themselves. Hu is a son of the late trcderirk DePeyster aud was born in this city in 1621. Jn 1855 he wns adju-tunt-geuerul of tlie state and during the war he was made brevet ninjor-genernl ot the state for meritorious services reudered to the national guard and to the I'inted Buitc.

Hi revolutionary ancestors were mainly Torfes, hut so sincere were they tn their loyalty to the crown thHt they lost little social prestige on this account. It was in IM 1 that General DePevster married Mis K'teile Livingstone, who has a colo-ninl lineage nearly if not quite os long as his own, and during their fifty years of married life they have lived in (his city and been recognized as social leaders. Intimate friends of (he family were not greatly surprised at the news, "ihe step taken by Mrs. DePeyster was not taken in a moment of anger, said an old friend to-diy. You must understand what a terrible thing it is for a person of her age to seek the assistance of the law courts for relief, especially in the face of the fact that for over half a century she has lived with her hnfthaud and the fact that she has reached the Biblical limit of human life three score years nnd ten.

THE OKNKRAlR TERRIBLE TONOt'R. While the complaint filed in Poughkeepsie nys that the general was cruel and inhuman, voii mut not think that he used physical force in his cruelty. Jl was even worse than that. The general has a habit of talking, and when he geta angry and talks he says tome very bitter things, Just what the specific charges made by Mrs. DePeyster are 1 do not know, but when the eompiaiut is mads public you will find that the generals terrible tongue, his arrogant manner and the combination of the two have something to do with the ease.

"The culmination of a long period of patient endurance came early this spring, and I have been given to understand (hat there was a terrible scene in the 1 wenty-first street house, in which the general found what worn out patience means, and the result was that the house wss rloeed, the servants dismissed and the general and his wife left town. They went to Tivoli, where they have spent the summers for ftmie years past, and it was there that Mm, DePeyster refused to longer live in the same house with her husband. Hbe went direct to the residence of her brother, Lewis Livingstone, and has resided there ever since. The question ot money or allowance has not entersd into the osse, I am sure, for the general Is wealthy and Mrs. DePeyster has even more money than the general bdi in herown right, DePeyster will not return to tbs sity until her ease le settled, and the house on Twenty-first street will he closed.

Hho is reprssented by llackett A Williams of Poughkeepsie, sod Henry M. Tsslor of th same euv appear for the general, 1 be complaint wifi not be made public at present and Ihe general has sent word that he will not return to the city for some months. Mr. and Mrs. DePeyster have bad four children, three sons and one daughter.

The sons were J. Watts, jr Frederick, and Johnston L.j who were respectively breveted colonel, mayor nnd lieutenant-colonel during the war. J. a its, died of a disease contracted during th war and Johnston L. was ths first to hoist tho Union flag over Richmond after tho entrance of the Union troop Ihe daughter married Mr.

Toland, ft Philadelphia financier, and died some years ago MtrKYSTRRi POTOMAC General DePeyster is somsthing of literary man in hie way. He refused to believe ail that the historian wrote and ftndertook at this 1st day to vindicate the character of that much-abased Personage, James Hepburn, fourth Lsri of Both wr II, and be suocedad to his own satisfaction. But tlie general's crowning delight for ft nnmber ei years has been hie annual dinner, which he enil Ihe "Army of Potomse dinners, sod which are nlwavs given on his birthday, May 9. At these banquets each gnest is given every possible title on the primed menu, and honors are easy. Pneh designation ns "soldier, negotiator, author and journalist and representative ef the whole world are common.

W. COR. 11T1I 31 A IX. ATTACKED BY A UOSV1LT. Assistant Prosecutor Elliott of Chicago As sonlted in Joliet Prison Chicago, July 10.

Assistant States Attorney ft Elliott of this city narrowly escaped death at th bands of a desperate criminal while visiting Joliet prison Tuesday Mr. Elliott has been very vigorous in bis prosecution of th habitual criminal element Last October, II. ft Wagner was sentcuccd to twenty years imprisonment under the habitual criminal sot, for a burglary in which he endangered the life of an entire family by chiorotorming them while asleep. leaving the court room tie swore that he would kill both Judge Altgeld and Attorney Elliott if ever sn opportunity offered itself. Tuesday at Johct, he struck down the attorney with a marble slab while the latter wss pissing through the stone cutlers ward with Vardea Dement.

Mr. Elliott, speaking ot the assault, said: 1 stopped at one of the tables to peak to a convict and found that Wagner was working opposite him at the same table, 1 remembered his threat, and instinctively dropped bock. I wss none too soon. He rushed behind me, and, ss I sprang forward out of his war, I received the blow on the head. Had not jumped undoubtedly hft would have fractured mv skull.

As it was. the blow fell short, and 1 was onlv stunned.1 The warden and deputies rushed forward and secured ths ruffian before he couUMbtfow up the attack. Mr. Elliott received a painful sculp wound and for a tune concussion of the brain whs feared, but his physicians now think that a short rest will bring him around all right. POLUEMEX ABOVE LA IF.

The Inference to Re Drawn From Raigeanl Jackson Gae To The Star: Four weeks ago lari Thursday night I'olice Sergeant John J. Jackson, while in a bouse of ill fame for sn immoral purpose, shot with his revolver Jotis Geary, wbom he was visiting, and severely wonnded her. Police Captain MrOinniis and Police Bcrgcsnt Lyons knew of this occurrence! the time It happened. Why was uot Jackson arrested for thli hy has ht not been indicted for shooting with deadly weapon, with inleut to kill or do bodily barm? by have not McGiunUs and Lyons beea suspended for failing to do their duty ia at resting Jackson? Ritpnose, instead of being lordly police man, Jurkson had been only ft common eiti-sen; would he uot have been arrested hy Me Ginniss and Lyons and thrown into jail? Would he uot have been indicted ami tried? Is there one law for (he policemen and another for ths other eitinns? It looks ss if ft policeman could with im punity transgress ths laws of this great and commit serious crimes without even an inquiry about them by the eourts of justice. The only question naked, it seems, is shall Jackson be continued in his positiou as an officer of the law? A question the authorities seriously hesitate to answer io the only way in which it ought to be answered.
