Yes, that happens a lot, but not here. Emanuel Lasker and Showalter played a match in 1892 and this is one of the games from it. Emanuel's brother Berthold was a strong player, but this isn't him. Emanuel's (possibly) distant relative Edward was born in 1885 in Germany, so we can be pretty confident this isn't him either.

February, 1893, p. 89

<"On December 12th [1892] commenced the meeting of the Indiana Chess Association, at Logansport, and he [Lasker] was present at it. The great attraction of the gathering was his two games with Mr. Showalter, of which each won one, but the deciding game of the little match was not played, owing to Mr. Lasker's indisposition, and the prize of $100 was divided between the two masters.... From Logansport Mr. Lasker proceeded on to Philadelphia, to enter upon his engagement with the Franklin Club of that city.">

May, 1893, p. 215:

<"After finishing his course of mathematical lectures at Tulane University, Mr. Lasker gave a final peripatetic performance at the New Orleans Chess Club. He then proceeded to Kokomo, Indiana, to play his long talked of match with Mr. Showalter, for $1000 a side, and with a time-limit of eighteen moves an hour. The match, which was to consist of ten games up, began on April 15th, and the score at the time of our going to press was: Lasker 3, Showalter 1, drawn 1.">

June, 1893, p. 259:

<"Lasker won his match with Showalter at Kokomo, Ind., by scoring 6 to 2, and two draws. This reckoning includes the three games previously played between them at the Indiana Chess Association meeting, which it was agreed should count as part of the match. The original conditions were for ten games up and $2,000 a-side, but these were afterwards cut down to six games and $500 a-side. Neither master seems to have played his best, and the American champion was said to have been suffering from an influenza attack. It is stated that Herr Lasker will take up his residence at New Orleans as a regular professor of mathematics at Tulane University.">

<"Showalter and Lasker agreed not to play the third game, but to divide the purse. A banquet was tendered by the Logansport players to their guests and members of the Indiana State Chess Association. The project of a set match, five games up, between Lasker and Showalter was discussed. It will probably take place some time next month at some Western city. It will be for $750 a side.">

<KOKOMO, April 9 – The long-expected chess match between Jackson W. Showalter and Emanuel Lasker, which has been three times postponed, will commence here tomorrow. The rules and conditions of the match have been agreed upon. The victor will be the winner of the first ten games, draws not counting. He will receive the purse of $2,000 and be considered champion of America. The match, however, is virtually only nine games up, as the games played between the contestants at Logansport last January will be included in the score. Each scored and lost one game. Charles O. Jackson of this city, President of the Indiana State Chess Association, will act as referee. H. Brown of Anderson, Ind. is the stakeholder. Games will be played every day, Saturday and Sunday excepted. The time limit is fixed at fifteen moves an hour. If after four and a half hours of play the game should not be finished a recess will be taken, and two more hours in the evening devoted to play. The rules of the fifth American Chess Congress will govern. Each player has the right to excuse himself three times from playing on notifying the referee and his opponent – The New York Sun, April 10, 1893.>

So from what I gather there were 2 matches but the score of the first match carried over. But since the score of the first match was tie it's really irrelevant whether it carried over or not, it's kind of weird that they would even make a point of carrying over an even score. It's like a baseball game being rained out with the score 1-1 and they start a new game the following day with a 1-1 score, what's the point?
