One of the handsomest and most COM
Portable private cars said ever to have
been made In this country, says the
Buffalo Express was turned out of the
Wagner shops at East Buffalo, recently.
The car was built for the use of Mr..
William K. Vanderbilt and the other
directors of the Lake Shore railroad.
1t was sent to New York on the train
which left Buffalo at 6 p. N. 1t will be
taken to Florida, for use by Mr.. Van
derbilt on his return from his tour of
the world.
The body of the car is sixty-nine feet
long. The windows are OF double plate
glass, something new, and are
especially designed for cold-weather
travelling. The windows in the
parlor of the car are SKA feet, and those
in the observation room are 4X5 feet and
3X4 feet. there being two of the latter
size. Six-wheeled trucks are used, with
thirty-siX-lnch paper wheels ana aXles,
made especially for safety and durabil-
ity.
In one end Of the car is the observa-
tion room, finished in quarter-sawed an
tiuue oak, deliberately carved and hand
somely finished. The interior finish
throughout the car is IA mixture Of Louis
XIV. and Renaissance styles. Next to
the observation room are four sleeping
IOOIllS, JNO lSlltu III sOuu lJOlllnBO
hogany and two in antique oak. In two
of the rooms are stationary beds and
one berth which, when closed, appears
to be only large plate-glass mirror;
also bureau, wash-stand and
other conveniences. In each CT the
other rooms is the usual section.
The parlor in the central portion of
| the car is fourteen feet long and is fin
ished in mahoganyDthe- carving being
very elaborate. Atone end OF the room
| is large sideboard.l The lower portion
is of solid panels, and above the custom

| doors of which are sihall mirrors of dou-
| BILE plate glass in Persian brass frames.
| At the opposite end Of the parlor are
| two small cabins with doors of bevelCd
plate glass, which are lined with blue
silk, producing pleasing effect. I'm
| der the cabinets are, two sofa beds, ad-
| joining the parlarare a layatory, por-
ter's berth, the heater room, and IN the

latter being supplied with every house

| The ceilings are elegantly decorated
| That of the parlori is a dark gray, stud
ed with gilded stars and bordered with
| light shades of blue and old gold. The
upholstery throughout is one OF blue
frieze of the finest grades. The window
shades are of silk tapestry and the drap-
cry is OF heavy figured, light blue silk.
| Wilton carpets of subdued colors match
ihe decorations and draperies, and the
trimmings are OF Persian brass.
Under the center of the ear.is large
refrigerator with ice boxes at each end
rnd other small ice boxes variously ar
ranged, and in which Superintendent
Bissell declares can be slowed provi-
sions enough to last during a trip to San
Francisco. The car, though not as ex-
pensiye as few others in the country,
is declared to be as elegant, and is one
which will no doubt reflect great credit
TO the Buffalo shops OF the Wagner
company.

FIRST CAME OF THE SEASON,
Omaha's Ball. Team Shows Itself
to Be a Hummer.
THE SCORE STANDS 10 TO
Only One Error Made BY the Local
Players-Burdick and Cooney Prove
a Formidable Battery-Big
Attendance.
Dubuque Entirely outmatched.

The baseball season of 1888 was opened in
n most auspicious manner at the ball park
yesterday afternoon by the Omahas and the
Dubuques. A beautiful spring day, fine
grounds and faultless game, 80 far as the
local team was concerned we'll repaid the
ten or twelve hundred enthusiasts who were
on hand.
The crowd was very demonstrative, but
impartial in the bestoNval of its applause
While the visitors showed up lamentably
weak in fielding, batting and base running,
the homo team created the very best inn
preston, playing with vim and and fault
less accuracy that wins ball. Burdick and
Cooney make formidable battery, and
while the former evidently did not let himself
out, he made a splendid record, striking out
nine men. There isn't much doubt about
Burdick's being strong in the box. He has
great speed and fine balls, and besides
fields his position admirably He is
not afraid TO leave the box, and backs up
every position when there is a chance for II
wild throw. He is a thoroughly earnest
player, and a fairly good runner Cooney
supported him in great shape, catching
throughout the entire game with but single
error, made when it looked as if IL was next
TO impossible for the Dubuques to score a
run. II was i'll the ninth inning. Bishop hit
out to Burdick, but Lear was given his base
by being hit by a pitched ball Tredway
then came to the bat and famed the air three
times in succession, but in his over. confidence
Cooney missed the third strike, but recovered
the ball in time to have extinguished the
runner at first, but he threw low, striking
Trcdway in the back, and he reached the
base in safety. Gandolfe then scored a two
bagger to left, and Tredway came home, Lear
having been put out III an attempt to steal
bird. Gandolfe, however, was put out on
his hit, having run over secondhand being
caught by Burns unerring throw in. When
it is recorded that this was the only error
on the part of the Omahas nothing
more need be said in commentator of
their magnificent playing They worked
like machinery, clear smooth and in perfect
harmony O'Connell and Burns led at the bat,
the former getting two two-baggers and two
sing es and the latter two two -baggers and one
single The error column OF the Dubuques
Is sufficient reason for refraining from elab
crate mention of their playing. They evil
IDENTIFY lack practice, but are an earnest,
hard working set of young fellows, and be-
fore the season ends will probably put up a
very creditable game The only double play
of the game was made by Gandofe and Glen
alvin, Bhrns and Annis being put out neatly
in the first inning
Appended will be found the score:

A Bit of Romance.

DEs MoINEs, Ia, April 7.-lSpecia TO tn
BEE Richard Wilson, prominent mer-
chant of Butte City, Mont, and Miss Lulu
Ryan, late leading lady Of Harry Montague's
speciality combination, were married in this
city to-day, and after avoiding tour through
the east will make their home at Butte City.
While Mr.. Wilson was seeing the sights of
the metropolis in 1885, at the risk of his
life he rescued Miss Ryan from drowning in
the East river. His head was badly cut by
the paddle of stern wheel steamer, but the
plucky western man succeeded in keeping the
actress above water until assistance came
from the excursion steamer from which she
had fallen. Wilson was taken sick, and Miss
Ryan nursed him through long illness. The
wedding to-day is the sequel.

purilistic Poinfers.

The "Blacs Star is on starring knock
out tour through Illinois and Inhiana.
Jere Dunn, the famous sporting man, says
that he is ready at any time to .atch Demp-
sey TO fight Mitchell or Kill lin for any
amount up to $4,000, London prize ring
rules.
John l.. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell are
both giving exhibitions throughout England.
Sullivan's hand seems to be on the mend,
and il his intention to return 10 America in
April. Mitchell and Kilran will return soon
after.
The latest is the proposed meeting between
Jake Kilrain and Jack Ashton. They met
some time ago in Ridgewood park and Kill
rain won. Ashton, who has been boxing and
travelling with Sullivan, has taken on weight
and is much improved, and if they meet on
their return to America it certainly should
be good mill.
Patsey Cardiff, the well known western
fighter, has been keeping very quiet since his
meeting with Sullivan when tine latter was
unfortunate enough to break his arm. 1t
now transpires that he is TO be married 10
Miss NJ Hail, of Minneapolis, and intends TO
leave the prize ring forever. He says he
is now in good business and has quit
fighting.
Joe McAuliffe, the San Francisco pugilist
who recently knocked Paddy Ryan out, Is
now on the war path. He has issued chal-
lenge to fight any man in Ant rica, with or
without gloves, for $500 side.
Jack Day, of this city, and Johnny Larkin,
of the Bluffs, are both painting for fight,
and Colonel Beck thinks a match can be ar
ranged between them in the near future.
Tommy Miller has not been heard of since
he left for Peoria. Tommy Is probably rest
ing on his laurels, though scant they be.
Since the American Hercules John l.. Sui
liyan has met his match IL the form of
Charles Mitchell, many of th sporting fra
ternity are at a loss to know whom to center
upon as the representative champion. While
the Boston slugger has many admirers even
now still there seems TO be an opinion gain
ing ground TO the effect that the champion
ship faurels are not far from the reach of Pat
Killen, the we'll known heavyweight, now Of
st. Paul, MINI.
Killens gentlemanly ways lad his loyalty
To his friends has resulted in him gaining
a warm place in the hearts OF many fanciers
of the prize ring. That he is a hard hitter
and is cat-like in his movements has been re-
peatedly demonstrated. Out of the fourteen

An effort is being made by Colonel Forbes,

The Standard Oil Investigation.

WASHINGTON, April THE house commit
tee on manufactures resumed the investiga-
tion of the oil trust to-day. David Kirk, of
Bradford, Pa, member of the Producers
association, said that the association was or
ganized as protection against the Standard
+. oil trust. 1t had 1000 members. After its
formation 1t was found that great deal of
capital would be required to build new sys-
ten, lines, etc. So negotationsywere opened
with the Standard and an agreement reached
by which the Standard was to give the asso-
citation the profits on 10000 barrels il the
association would agree to cut down the pro-
duction 1880 barrels per day and refrain
from opening new wells. The
first act of the association after
this was to set aside the profits of 1000, 900
barrels for labor affected by the shut down.
Then they went back TO the Standard and
squeezed another 100000 barrels from it for
the same purpose. There had been daily
average reduction of 25, 900 barrels since the
contract had been in force. The Standard,
witness said, threw every passable obstacle
in the way of competitors.
Representative Smith asked the witness If,
when the association was formed, they
thought they could by legislative enactment
in Pennsylvania compel the Standard Oil
company to carry oil to everybody.
Witness said: "Yes, we were suckers
enough TO think so. l certainly thought they
should regulate monster they have
