An Explanation from l)r. Ilolinc* nf Ills Meunlm:
In the Line* Which ('nusetl the llupture-A Tulk
With Princeton’* Venernble Prealilent.
New York, November 16.—The dispute
which seems destiued to shake the rela
tions between Harvard and Princeton, as u
result of the poem of Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes and the utterances of James Rus
sell Lowell, on the occasion of Harvard’s
celebration a week ago, was brought to
the attention of Dr. Holmes lost evening.
Ho declined to be interviewed, but over
his own signature in a letter to the editor
of the Boston Post, he says:
“To the Editor of the Boston Post—Sir:
The only reference to Princeton in my
poem was these two lines, which were
written and read exactly us they are found
in the printed copy published with the
Atlantic Monthly:
-“•O'er Princeton’s sand the far reflections steal
Where mighty Edwards stamped his iron heel.’
“The ‘stars’ In the newspapor copies of
extracts were only to separate the independ
ent paragraphs, unless some of the papers
may have seen fit to strike out lines which
they choose to leave out for reasons of
their own. I cannot believe that the ex
cellent and venerable president of Prince
ton would take offense at the suggestion
that a ray or the reflection of a ray, from
Harvard, which lighted the first torch in
the wilderness, and has certainly been one
of tile centres of illumination for two cen
turies and a half, has blended with the
other lights which made Princeton brill
iantly conspicuous among our educational
institutions. The ‘sands’ of New Jersey
were only a geological reminisoeDoe of a
recent visit to that state and reference to
Edwards was intended to typify the pro
found impress with which that extraordi
nary man left on the intellectual world in
which he moved, and over which he still
exerts a commanding influence.
“Yours truly, O. W. Holmes.’’
A World correspondent said to Dr.
McCoBh yesterday:
•‘Doctor, I wish to ask you a few ques
tions about your recent visit to Havird.”
“Well,” said bee, “the paper by James
Lowell was a very beautiful
Russell 1
l and a
erv
-very wise one. He urged the same objec
tions that I had done against the indis
criminate elective Bystem of Havard and
the omission of Greek as a subject requir
ed in order to confer the B. A. and M. A.
degrees.”
“Was there not a peculiar reference to
Princeton in Dr. Holmes’ poem?”
“I heard what he said, but oi course I
•did not take it down. I am anxious to
have an authenticated record of what he
said about Princeton in his poem, but
until I do, I am not prepared to say any
thing.”
“Was not Princeton snubbed in the con
ferring of degrees?”
“I have written to the secretary of Har
vard University, but am not prepared to
f ive that letter at present to the public, as
hope that explanations will be given
which shall clear up the whole subjeot. I
■did not expect or wish a degree for myself
as I got an LL.D. from Harvard when 1
came to this country. But I think it
rather strange when degrees were scat
tered to the colleges around us—Yale,
•Columbia, Pennsylvania and Johns Hop
kins, six to Yale, three or four to Colum
bia—that no honor was bestowed on any
member of the Princeton college. I have
Teported to the professors here and And
they are bearing it calmly and believe that
tho public will understand it.”
The lines in Dr. Holmes’ poem, which
caused the venerable president of Prince
ton college to leave the Harvard celehra 1
tion and shake the dust of Cam bridge from
his feet are ae follows:
“As once of old tom Ida’s lofty height
The flaming signal flashed across the night.
So Harvard’s beacon sheds its unspent rays
Till every watch tower shows its kindling blare.
Caught from a spark and fanned by every gale
A brighter radiance gilds the roofs of Yale ;
Amherst and Williams bid their flambeau shine.
And Bowdoin answers through her grovc-s of
pine;
O’er Princeton's sands the fav reflections steal.
Where mighty Edwards stamped his iron heel;
Nay on the hill where old beliefs were bound
Fast as if Styx had girt them nine times round,
Bursts such light that trembling souls inquire
If the whole church of Calvin is on fire.
Well they may ask for what so brightly burns
As a dry erecd that nothing ever learns?
Thus link by link is knit the flaming chain
Lit by the t,rch of Harvard’s hallowed plain.”
A WIFE’S PERFIDY
Causes tho Murder of a Family—Ilor Own Wretch
ed Life Taken Along with the Others.
White River, Ont., November 15.—For
.some weeks past a large Inumber of em
ployes oi the Canadian Pacific railroad
have been engaged about here in prepar
ing the track for the winter, which is just
setting in. Among the force there was
one, Richard K. O’Brien, a handsome
young fellow about 30 years of age and a
.general favorite among his companions.
He hailed from somewhere, so he said, in
the maritime provinces, and had traveled
extensively. When first he came here to
work he met Mrs. Charles Williams, the
wife of a country storekeeper, and from his
acquaintance trespassed until he had
worked up apparently a position in the
family circle which only most intimate
friends might attain. Living in the same
family with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams
were the father and mother of the hus
band, as well as three small children oi the
For the past six weeks Will jpms has
suspected his wile of infidelity, and _ laid a
trap to catch her. Taking the train yes
terday for Chaplean, Ont., he left word
that he would be absent over night, but in
stead of going on to his destination he took
the return train from a way station, and so
arrived at home about 7 o’clock last night,
when, proceeding to his home, he opened
the outer door*with a latch key and en
tered. Going to his room lie found there
his wife in bed with O’Brien. Taking a
heavy walking cane which he carried, he
dealt the intruder a blow upon the face as
he was rising from the bed. O’Brien
quickly recovered himself, and, catching
his pants from the foot oi the bed, drew a
revolver and shot Williams dead, the
noise attracted the other occupants of the
house, and to shield his crime 0 Brien
shot the father as he was entering the
room partially dressed.
Having no more cartridges as the old
lady put in an appearance and screamed,
startled by the sight of her husband lying
weltering in his life’s blood, the murderer
seized a heavy chair and struck such a cruel
blow as laid her senseless before him. io
conclude the devilish work begun, he beat
her until her head was reduced to a pulp
with a heavy stick of stove wood procured
from an adjoining room. Two of the three
children were then disposed of with the
same club- which ended the existence ot
the old lady. The little boy, the youngest
and only eighteen months old, was spared,
as he could bear no evidence against the
murderer. __ __
All the remonstrances of Mrs. Williams
were unavailing. She was threatened witu
instant death if she did not keep quiet, and
after the murder the wretch went agmn to
bed and remained there for some hours
with his paramour, when he arose, and,
taking a clasp-knife from his pocket, stub
bed her four times about the region of the
heart and left her for dead. He then fired
the house and left hurriedly. Attracted
by the flames, neighbors came to the reliet
and sucoeeded in removing the bodies ot
the killed and Mrs. Williams and the in
fant from the burning building. Mrs.

Williams lived long enough to make a
statement of the affair to the authorities,
and then expired. The officers of the law
were quickly iu search of the assassin, and
he was arrested about twenty-five miles
from the scene of the tragedy. He denied
the crime, and claims to he able to prove
an alihi. 1’uero are, however, many cir

BASE BALL.
I In* Heir Rnlrs .1 "ioptort ll) the Nullonnl l.rnaui-.
Chicago, November 16.—The ruleB com
mittee ol the National League and Base
Ball Association resumed its session early
this morning. The following changes
were made to-day: The high and low ball
system of delivery has been abolished, any
ball now being considered fair that passes
the player between his shoulder and knee
and that passes over the plate.
Bunching in future will not be allowed.
Any obvious attempt to make a foul irit
will be considered a strike.
The club will not toss for choice of posi
tions in future, the right of choice invari
ably resting with the home club. Five-
bolls and four strikes will be allowed, in
stead of six balls and three strikes, as here
tofore. When the batsman takes his base
on bails, he shall be credited with a base
hit.
A batsman shall take his base when
struck by a pitched ball. Any motion
whatever on the part of the pitcher made
to deceive a hatter shall be considered a
balk. If in running to base the runner
touches and detaches the base bag without
being touched by the baBemau he will be
pafe. Captains of clubs only can question
any decision of an umpire.
The old rule requiring a runner to re
turn to his base on a ruu when a foul hit is
made was changed. Hereafter a runner
can walk to his base. No runner can have
substitute run for him in cuse of an injury,
but if hurt must retire from the game. A
batter is out on the fourth strike under the
new rules, whether the ball is dropped or
passed by the catcher.
The question of having two umpires and
a referee was brought up, but the majority
of the committee voted againBt the scheme
and it was dropped.
Modification of the umpires’ rules of
both organizations was adopted. The
pitcher’s box was shortened to live and
one-half feet, and the pitcher will be re
quired to keep his forward foot firmly on
the ground wneujaboutjto deliver the ball.
His other must be on the back line of the
box, and he will be allowed to take but
one stejp when delivering. The ball must
be held in plain view of the umpire. The
pitcher cannot, as heretofore, deliver the
ball to the batter after making a feint to
throw to first base, but must resume his
position in his box.
Only two coachers will be permitted,
and they shall have the right to talk to
base runners only. For talking to a bats
man coachers will be reprimanded for the
first offense and be forced to give up his
coaching and another man put in his place
on a repetition of the fault. In scoring
when a batter is (given his base on called
balls, a hit is credited to the batter ana un
error given to tho pitcher in the summary
only. All batting errors are charged in
the summary, as are earned runs, two and
three-base hits, home runs, double plays,
base on balls, hit by pitcher, passed balls,
wild pitches, time oi game and name of
umpire.
The pitcher will be given no credit for a
strike out.
In place of total bases, the record of
stolen bases will be kept.
Any at empt made by a player to steal
bases must be credited, whether an error is
made or not, if the runner is successful in
reaching base.
The committee also required each asso
ciation to appoint a joint rule Committee
at eaoh annual meeting, they to act fee the
year. All clubs under the jurisdiction of
the national agreement must abide by the
rules adopted, which are known as
“National Playing Rules of Professional
Base Ball Clubs.”
Many of the more important changes in
corporated thus far have been at the sug-
g cation of the advisory board, composed of
aptains Anson and Ward, Oomiskey and
Swartwood, who it is believed are carrying
out the views and wishes of a great major
ity of players iu both the great organiza
tions. Perfect harmony seems to exist be
tween the committee and tiiis board, and
the work has been greatlyl simplified and
rendered far more effective by the admis
sion of the players as representatives to
the council.
A number of base ball magnates and
others prominent in the affairs of the
national game arrived this morning, and
others will reach here to-night aud to
morrow morning. Among the late coiners
are Frederick Steams, president of me
Detroit club; John B. Sage, ex-president of
the Buffalo club; John S. Morrow, presi
dent of the Southern League: Manager
Watkins, of the Detroits, and Clift'Carroll,
of the Washingtons; President Hewitt aud
Manager Gaffney.
A. S. Denny and E. Wise, of Boston, and
representatives of the Kansas City and St.
Louis teams, will be here this evening.
One of the important matters to come be
fore the league meeting to-morrow is the
completion of the league circuit for the
following year. The president of a league
club stated to a reporter this morning that
ho believed the question of the circuit
would be settled before to-morrow night.
Pittsburg will be represented here to
morrow, and the delegate is now here,
though where he is could not be ascer
tained. League officials say nothing when
questioned as to the matter. It is rumored,
however, that' Kansas City will be dropped
and Pittsburg will be added to till the
vacancy.
Two (JupstioiiN for Mr. George.
New York World.
Here are two questions which we should
like to have the supporters of Mr. George’s
land theory to consider:
First—If‘‘the value which attaches to
the surface of the earth by reason of the
growth of population belongs to society at
large,” as they affirm, docs not society at
large owe compensation to those whose
land suffers a decrease in value by a loss
of population?
Sec -nd—If “society at large,” repre
sented by the government, sells its natural
right to the soil for $1.25 an acre to a poor
but industrious settler—as the greater part
of the western lauds have been sold—and
that settler, after working hard for twenty
years, more or less, finds that the “growth
of population” has overtaken him and on-
hanced the value of his purchase, would
it be fair for “society at large” to insist
upon gobbling up his profits trom the lee

Miss D >vis is simply payings visit to a
family friend. Her father and Dr. Emory’s
father were on most intimate terms, aud
the doctor himself was a surgeon in the
confederate service. Miss Davis has not
been at all nervous about her reception in
the north. In Syracuse Dr. and Mrs. Em
ory have friends enough to make her stay
pleasant, and they have not found it nec
essary to ask any one to receive her. The
fact that they are iu tnou.'i’ing precludes
their usual partiuipnlion t.i social events,

attend a few receptions during her visit, it
may be stavod that the purpose of her com

A constitution was adopted, of which
the principal provision is that none hut

national congress.
The main object of the congress is to
organize among the various beneficial
orders a system of mutual information,

number of business and speculative com

would lead many persons to believe them

is desired against these companies.
Among the fraternities represented by

New York, November 18.—The volume
of business on the stock exchange to-day,
was seriously affected by the interruption
of telegraphic communication, especially
with Chicago; granger stock showing a
marked falling off in the amount of busi
ness done from that of the lost few days.
On account of the favorable negotiations
now in process leading to the settlement
of the existing disputes, and also the
recommended advance in freight rates,
more attention was directed toward the
trunk line shares, and they were much
more active and stronger, especially
Erie, Lake Shore and Canada. South
ern coal stocks were much quieter.
An attack was made upon Richmond and
West Point just after the opening, and
several stop orders being uncovered its de
cline amounted to 3 per ceut. before sup
porting orders enough could be executed to
rally it. It remained strong, however,
throughout the remainder of the day,
finally closing with n small net advance.
Bituminous coal stocks were again strong,
Hocking Valley being the principal fea
ture. Some of the specialties conspicuous
for the advances made were Joliet Steel,
Memphis and Charleston, Virginia Mid

this morning was active but gener

showing declines of from J to j per cent,
from last evening. There was some other
slight losses in the early dealings, but the
market soon rallied and became strong
throughout. The slump in Richmond and
West Point and the strength in Ohio and
Mississippi, and Hocking Valley being the
special features of the morning hour. Tho
market then quieted down but remained
firm with several slight reactions until

Indian Money.
Enquirer-Sun: Specimen collecting is now
very popular. Not long ago I received fVora
Washington territory a nice box of real Indian
money. The lady who sent it to me says years
ago her husband was an Indian trader, and
while among the Alaska Indians he collected
this queer currency, and now, having no use for
it, sent it to me. The Indian money, or wampum,
as the Indians call it, is a rare sea shell an inch
or more in length, twice the size around of a
large knitting needle, tapering slightly, bent and
hollow. The value of each piece to them was
j four cents. I have much more of this Indian
| money than I need for my own collection, and
j will say that any one who would like a specimen
of Indian wampum may have it and welcome by
sending a stamp for postage.
