 We'll! Well! welll Didyou ever see such . routing as the Meridens got yesterday ? They came over with their professional team, Gruber and all, and came with money too, but alas, what fall was theirs. Mir Gruber's smile, which was a confident one Tn the start, was the sickest looking att tempt at a smile before the game was over. It was the Acmes day and what day they made of 1t. The rain did not scare them fora cent and they banged the ball for keeps. Bergen distinguished himself with a homer clear to center field fence, when the bases were all full and Joe Thiesen got weary chAsingit. George Harrington will lose that box of cigars as consequence. The new man, Smith. played well on second although one error is credited to him. Coughlin on third can not beat Will Fox in that position. His throwing Is away of. That left handed twirler klob- edauz had the Meridens at his mercy. He Is all right All in all they put up great game and won hands down. Following i- the score:

How can We find employment for the people whoarc compelled to live on short al- lowancr: By extending water pipes on the new streets, that you contemplate laying water pipes when you get the new water supply. or replacing the old cement pipes with iron, that you will be compelled to do next summer This can be done without laying special tax, because the city has power to borrow half million dollars to furnish the people with water.

When the two begin operations-well, no one likes to write down in cold American letters what he thinks of the pair. The two, especially if reinforced by a couple of glasses of beer, can make life miserable for a whole section of the grand stand.

They are continually insulting passers by, especially ladies. As rule they are very tame about the time an officer is expected along, but just as soon as he is out of sight they are at their capers again. An example should be made of some of them.

CoSsTABULARY CONTROL.
The Dublin metropolitan police is to continue

five years, until the Irish administration will
guarantee that an adequate local police system
has been organized.
The royal Irish constabulary, while it exists.

GOV. CROUNZE'S EXPLANATION.
A Special Message on the Failure of til
Capitol National Bank.

A Special Message on the Failure of the
Capitol National Bank.
Gov. CrounZe has sent special message TO the
Nebraska legislature explaining the connection
Of the state banking board with the failure of
the Capitol National Bank. After stating the
fact that S265, 900 in state funds were on de-
post, and how the banks bonds were approved
the governor says:
1T transpires that the banks books have
been manipulated SO to deceive tine most vigi-
liant bank examiner, and would have defied
detection even if the state had undertaken by
experts to investigate its solvency for itself. 1
am credibly informed the further investigation
and examination of tine record will disclose the
fact that the state treasurer, BARLEY, has been
post which were turned oS6r to him by his pre-
decessOysn Office were fraudulent evidence of
money deposit which had no existence.
1T is impossible at this time to ascertain
whether the failure of the bank will involve
the state in any loss. The assets, however,
of over 100000 as represented by the books,
together with the assessments. for which the
stockholders are liable, furnish reasonable
guaranty that the states loss should not be
great ultimately. 1t remains for the legis-
lature to take sucn action as it deems wise
to ascertain the exact condition of the bank
and to fix the responsibilities of the parties
question whether the bondsmen of ex-Treas-
urer Hill were released whsn he paid over to
his successor the fraudulent certificates Of de-
post and whether the new treasurer assumed
any responsibility by reason Of his assumption

which Mr.. Edward ]. Redmond addressed the
meeting of the Father Mathew Total Abstinence
Society last evening at the hall, corner 5th and
G streets northwest. The speaker said: 1.-THE
day has gone by for any one to argue seriously
that the traffic in intoxicants as a beverage is
right. An industry that is q benef. is en-
couraged and never restricted No one thinks
Of compelling the grocer or clothier to pay q
heavy fine tor the privilege Of selling goods to
the community. An increase in tine number Of
such dealers is considered an advantage and
never a menace to society. As preventive Of
the business licensing is q failure. If an in
crease OF the license fee has had any effect it
has been solely to intrench the traffic
more securely - give IL sort OF
vested right to remain, and enable saloon keep
srs to say, I'VE have paid for our rights and
We insist on having them. As il right could
be bought! Rights are inherent and are not

MIR. LOWELL DENIES.
He Denounces the Charges Against Him as
False and Malicious.


False and Malicious.
John W. Lowell, who organized the United
States Book Company, has been ousted from
the vice presidency, and Lawrence and Warner
the lawyers of 120 Broadway, have been in
structed to bring action against him Edward
Lenge resigned his Office as treasurer of the
concern, and the state of affairs developed at
the meeting on Saturday shows that there is
much bad feeling among the publishers, whose
combine" in July, 1870, with a capital of
s3,250,0OO, was regarded as Cheap novel
trust"
Creditors, whose claims aggregate over
$500, ZOO. have begun proceedings against the
company.
At the meeting Saturday the directors de-
cided to declare the office of Vice President
Lowell vacant, because of his non-attendance at
the meetings end for other reasons. Mr..
Forbes was elected in his place as vice presi-
dent and general manager. In instructing the
lawyers to bring various actions against the ex-
vice president, the directors charged mall
feRsance in Office. and blamed the present con-
dition of the corporation upon Mr.. Lowell.
Horace y. Thurber is the president of the COM
pany.
Chas. ". Gould has been appointed receiver.
Mr.. Lowell, after reading the charges made
against him, sent the following card to the
newspapers:
The malicious and unfounded statements
which have appeared in the press in regard to
my connection with the United States Book
Company cali for absolute and prompt denial
on my part.
1.-The business of the company has required
almost continuous absence from the city during
the past eight months. On Friday last the
directors were informed that Was III Troy to
have the attachment of the Manufacturers Ma
tional Bank withdrawn ard | made an arrange

by the directors, would avoid all subsequent
complications.

ton on the business OF the company. and there

the Other attachments and the unwarranted
and unjust action of the directors regarding
myself

the protection of the stockholders and creditors
of the company and compel redress for the
wrong done myself. Yours. respectfully.
