YALE BEATS PRINCETON,
xaa BOOBS 19 TO O AFTER a hard
FOUGHT GAME.
An Enormous Crowd Out to Be© the
Contest and $50,000 Taken In at the
Gate— Not a Point Scored by Either
Side for Forty-five Minutes.
Manhattan Field, N. Y., Nov. 26.
The blue floats over the metropolis and the
orange and black is trailing low. Yale beat
Princeton in the athletic event of the year
for the foot ball championship by 19 to 0.
Thirty-seven thousand people, who paid
about $50,000 admisiion, witnessed the con
test, and every one got his money’s worth.
It was a magnificent game, and Yale’s in
vincible team bad to do the hardest
playing of which it was capable. In
the flrst forty-five minutes’ play
neither side could score, and when the first
balf ended with blanks for each side Prince
ton’s supporters oheered wildly, but it was
short-lived, for in the second halt Yalo
went in desperately and won by sheer
weight and force, her older men standing
the racket better than Princeton’s greener
bands.
A LIVELY SCENE.
The scene was euob as can be witnessed
only at a hotly fought contest. Blue and
orange and black flags floated everywhere,
and men and women wore the college
colors, while some had almost entire cos
tumes of a hue resembltug the university
colors. A number of tally-hos loaded
with born tooters drove into the grounds
and with it all it was the liveliest and most
animated spectacle of the year, while
the blare and noise which greeted every
good play was enough to rattle windows
blocks away. College cries and songs were
omnipresent and irrepressible. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Wesleyan. Trinity,
and n few of Harvard men cheered for Yale,
while Rutgers, Swarthmore and several
Pennsylvania colleges answered them on the
side of Old Nassau. The grounds were wet
and soggy and rain fell occasionally, but
the crowd never bulged. Brooks of Har
yard was referee, and Coffin of Wesleyan
umpire.
OPENING OF THE CONTEST.
Play opened with Prinoeton having the
ball, and for forty-five minutes the ball
was up and down the field, through in
Princeton's territory more frequently. Me-
Clung, Yale’s captain and one of her baoks,
made some fine daring rushes but hard
tackles by Prinoeton men, especially Vin
cent, anew man, who played magnifi
cently, cut short some of these.
Bliss and McCormick also made good runs,
but between those runs would come failures
on which Princeton would gain the ball.
Flint and Poe did the running for Prince
ton, but old Nassau’s rehauce in hard straits
was full back Homans. He knew his busi
ness, and each time made fine punts that
sent the bell twenty-five to fifty yards down
tbe field, from which Yale
would have to work it back.
Big Heffelfinger tried rushing for Yale,
but Kiggs held him iu. McCormick punted
tor Yale but was not Homans' equal, and
moieover fumbled several timet and got no
opportunity to kick on other occasions. In
this wuy tbe first half went goose egg to
each side.
PRINCETON OVER-CONFIDENT.
Princeton was over-confident when the
second half began and Yale desperate.
Yule formed with big Heffelflnger in front
and with mighty rushes pierced Princeton’s
center steadily, and with onslaughts on the
ru l h line made a touch down, securing four,
the goal being missed. After tbe ball again
got in play at Princeton’s 25-yard line Mo-
Clung made a run past Princeton’s
right end to the 3-yard line and
quickly another touch down was forced.
Homans was again punting, but the wet
field and ball prevented his doing good
work. One of tbe surprise* of the game
came next, when the ball was snapped back
to McCormick by Yale, and he from the
30-yard lino added 5 to the score, making it
13, by kicking a goal from the field. Prince
ton made a fine rally, but the ball finally
went to the Yales.
THE STAR PLAY OF THE GAME,
It was passed pack to Bliss and be made
the star play of the game. Heffelflnger ran
by his side and by fine interference and his
tremendous strength kept off Flint, Poe,
Homans and King from the running halt
back , who went seventy yards and scored a
touch down, from which McClung kicked a
goal, the game ending 19 to 0.
TROUBLE WITH NEGROES.
An Attempt to Make an Arrest Re
sisted bv a Mob.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 26.—A special
to the Ornette from Guerdon, Ark., says:
The wave of excitement is at its hight in
this place. Town Marshal J. J. Huffman
proceeded to arrest a negro on a obarge of
stealing SIOO from Robert Parker, a laborer.
A crowd of negroes overpowered the mar
shal and released the prisoner. The
officer summoned a posse and a general
slurmish ensued. The whole town came
out in force. Guns, knives and revolvers
were freely used. Balls from Winchesters
flew in every direction, but as far as learned
no damage was done besides the killing of
one man, whose name could not be learned,
and the wounding of a negro named New
ton Bradley. Tbe negroes are thoroughly
aroused and it is feared that they will make
a general attack upon the whites during the
Right.

SAMOANS STILL IN A STEW.
Mataafa Doing His Best to Wrest tbe
Kingship From Malietoa.
sJn Francisco, Nov. 26.— Among the
passengers on the Mariposa from Samoa
was United States Land Commissioner H.
C. Ida, who was sent down to Samoa to
straighten out the land titles, in conjunction
with the English and German commission
ers. Mr. Ide was compelled to resign on
aocount of illness in hts family.
Speaking of affairs in Samoa
he said: “The native people
regard the taxation to whioh they have
beeu subjected as oppressive. Hostilities
may be expeoted at any time. The natives
look to Mataafa to redress their wrongs,
real or imaginary, and the latter chief
makes no secret of bis ambition to succeed
Malietoa. He says he is the rightful king
of the Samoans. He argues that in tbe Ber
lin treaty the powers laid down that Malie
toa should be king until his successor
be elected. He demands that an election
take place. He has tbe people with him,
he claims, and is therefore the rightful
king. When the news of his warlike atti
tude reached Apia a council was called by
Malietoa, and a proclamation issued order
ing the ohiefs to disperse. The latter re
fused to obey, and their lands were de
clared forfeited to the government and
they themselves were declared rebels. This
was the condition of things when I left
Apia, and if the powers don’t interfere it
looks as if war could not be averted.”

STANFORD'S BTEBDB.
The Senator Bure They are Capable of
Still More Wonderful Records.
San Francisco, Nov. 26.—The Evening
Poet this afternoon prints an interview with
Senator Stanford on tbe subject of the
recent performance of his trotting hones on
the Stockton “kite” track. Senator Stan
ford said : “Racing is over as far
as the Palo Alto horses aro concerned,
for ail tbe trotters here have been retired
for tbe year. Sunol probably will be sent
east in a few days. 1 am confident that
Palo Alto, thoroughly conditioned and free
from lameness, can make a better record
than he did when he trotted in 2:08%. His
season in stud did not end until tbe middle
of July, and as a consequence be
was not thoroughly prepared. Sunol
was also lame and was laid up
two months in the middle of the season. I
don’t think she was in as good condition as
she might have been, and I am firmly of
tbe opinion that at her best she can trot a
mile in 2:05 or better. Arion eclipsed tbe
expectations of all. I had great hopes of
him, but did not look for him to be tbe hero
of so wonderful a performance as 2:10%
as a 2-year-old. Ido not pretend,” said the
senator in conclusion, "to put a limit to the
degree of improvement in horses, because
we may constantly look for the best strains
and qualities of each parent to develop in
their progeny, so that the progeny will con
tinue to be better than either parent.”

A DUEL AVERTED.
Dr. Nlco’aon Retracts Bis Reference to
Dr. Tbofite*
Atlanta, Qa., Nov. 86.— The ioglo of
the redoubtable "touchstone' has served to
avert more than one modern duel. Last
night it was known that l)r. Julian P.
Thomas, whose encounter with Dr. Mr lillam
Perrin Nlooiaon on Sunday afternoon last,
the falling out being tbe result of a discus
sion of professional ethics, which has been
the sensation of the week, had consulted his
friends with a view to submitting a
formal proposition to Dr. Nicolson. To-day
Dr. Thomas’ friends consult'd and deter
mined to demaud a retraction by Dr.
Nioolson of oertain language which he pub
lished in a card in the l|ar on Telegraph,
aud it be declined to do so to then ask him
to meet Dr. Thomas. But before anything
definite was done Dr. Niaals in's friends ap
peared with a writteu retraction of the
language made voluutarfly by Dr. Nicol
ion. Of oourse this endl the conference
of Dr. Thomas’ friends, fnakmg their de
mand unnecessary.
THE RETRACTION.
In his note of retraction Dr. Nioolson
says: "t said that Dr. Thpmos, in his state
ment that I had Btruok him in the dark,and
without warning, had stated what was an
’unmitigated lie.’ since that time, and at
tbe trial, and on bis oath, he has made a
somewhat similar statement, and I write to
say that as I believe that under the excite
ment of the moment he was not able to
judge accurately of my position, and as It
would have been neeeesary for him
to have made tbe statement knowingly
In order to have been worthy of the form
as applied above I I retract the offensive
epithet, and do so through tbe same medi
um that I published the original. Dr.
Thomas does not desire, I am sure, that I
surrender my conviction that 1 was in no
way taking advantage of him in position,
and I aocord to him the right to hi- belief,
to which be ha* sworn." Wherefore the
blood has faded from the face of the pale
faced moon.
A BIG CROWD AT AUGUSTA.

Sort hundreds left at various stations. Fully
3,000 gathered In the exposition building.
Tbe Carolina state offioers and general
assembly were in attendance. Hon. John
Temple Graves delivered tbe address of

on the part of visitors and exhibitors to

ment has the matter under consideration.
If it is decided to prolong a week a feature
will be Editors’ aud Printer*’ day, when it 1*
believed that the great Swooess of the Au
gusta exposition will give*iror tut to Geor
gia’s having an exhibit at the worl&'l fair.
MR. GRAVES’ SPEECH.
Mr. Graves, in his speech, said: "Surely
four states are gathered iu this congress of
industrial i pro wets and over all their
products, whether they oome from the
LoweH of the south or (from the Lowsll of
New England, floats as a pledge of union
and fraternity the flag of our oountry,
white with peace, orimson with kindred and
radiant with stars that speak of hope and
promise. Surely never Thanksgiving day
dawned upon a fairer pioture of
domestic peace, of plenty, of
Sromise and of properlty than where
lassaohusetts meets her ancient enemy
under the shadow of its own palmetto;
where Connecticut challenges Georgia to
industrial rivalry; where Virginia and
Vermont, and Indiana and Texas and
Tennessee sit together in prosperous plenty,
and the star spangled banner floats in com
mon condition over all. I love my oountry
more and more as my owq beloved soutu
forges neck and neok with the north and
east and the jubilant west in the great raoe
of development.”
PIERCED BY A BULLET.
Blunner Dumas of Mllledgevllle
Wounded, Probably Fatally.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 2<. —Thanksgiving
day was marred ia Milledgeville to-day by
an accident by whioh a prominent young
man of that city will very probably lose bis
life. Business was entirely suspended there
to-day, and many of the young business men
took the day for sports of different kinds.
Blunner Dumas of T. L. McCowle & Cos.,
in company with several friends, started
before day for Crawford’s mill, where they
expected to spend the day flshiug, hunting,
etc. Upon arrival at their destination, as
they were getting out of the wagon, a
Winchester rifle was accidentally dis
charged, the load passing through young
Dumas’ body just below the chest. He suf
fered intensely and at last accounts the
physioian had no hopes of his reoovery.
Young Dumas was one of the brightest
lads of the city, and the tragedy is of pe
culiar sadness.

AWOMAN’SSTRANGETALE
BHE THINKS THE VATICAN HAD A
6PY IN SALISBURY’S HOUSE.
A Claim That the Premier's Major
Domo Had Guided Her Through the
Papal Residence as a Prleet—The
Man Disappears Between Buns After
tbe Alleged Recognition.
London, Nov. 96.—A curious story has
just been made public which appears to show
that the vatioan has had an emissary in the
very household of tbe Marquis of Salis
bury, tbe prime minister, of oourse, being
entirely ignorant of the fact. The inter
esting and rather startling intelligence
comes from a lady who was recently a
guest at Hatfield house, tbe residence
In Hatfleldshlre of the prime minister.
In a letter written by the lady she says:
"Tbe last time 1 was staying at tlatfleld
house I was Btruck by the faoe of a man
who was employed in the capaoity of major
domo of tbe eetablisbmeut. The features
of the man haunted me as those of someone
I had seen before. While trying to remem
ber where and wben 1 had seen him Hooked
at the man rather frequently. Ue notioed
me observing him and seemed somewhat
disconcerted.
THE puzzle solved,
"Suddenly I remembered where we had
met before, and he instantly saw the rooog
nltion iu my countenance. It was in the
vatioan, over part of wlllch place, while on
a visit, he had conducted me, garbed in tbe
robes of an Italian priest. He used fluent
English in describing to me various things
of interest whioh he pointed out
during our tour of too building
and appeared to me to be a most affable
man. When 1 had discovered the identity
of ray former guide I at once resolved to
tell the facts to Lord Salisbury at the first
opportunity tho next morning, but found
upon arising the following day that my
quondam friend bad decamped during tho
night, taking his belongings with him.
CAUSED CONFUSION.
"The news of the sudden disappearance of
tho major domo has oauaed considerable
confusion in tbe premier’s household. I told
tbe marquis all 1 knew about the matter,
and ho appeared to be very much put out
by tbe intelligence wbiob I Imparted to hint,
but had little to say in regard to toe strange
occurrence. Members of Lord Salisbury's
family,however,thoroughly discussed all tbe
facts of the case and the conclusion arrived
at by them after everything bad been con
sidered. was that the missing major domo
was a Jesuit agent and that be had in
sinuated himself upon the premier’s family
for the purpose of discovering secret
matter concerning f, he Vatican.”

A VICTIM OF KLEPTOMANIA.
The Story of a Texas Society Girl Now
In a Lunatic Asylum for Treatment.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 21.—The RepublU
correspondent has Just learned, from good
authority, of a remarkable case of klepto
mania, tho subject of which la note confined
in the state lunatic asylum at Terrell. Tlia
young lady’s name is Bertie White. 8b
was quite a society belle and belongs to one
of the best families of Rockwall, a county
adjoining Dallas.
It seems that the girl’s mania to be pos
sessed of rlobes has led her into numerous
scrapes, but the prominence of her relatives
and prompt payment for all goods or tba
return of all money taken has always kept
her depredations from the publio.
Last summer she fell iu love with a young
man at Rockwall, who, it is said, gave her
to understand that it was his intention tc
marry her. With this idea in her mind she
came to Dallas and presented an order al
the store of gauger Bros, for a bridal trous
seau to cost several hundrod dollars. The
order was acoepted, but while the milliners
were engaged upon the oostly outfit the sus
picions of tbe firm were aroused. Inquiry
developed the fact that the order was a
forgery. Tbe girl’s relatives were notified,
and the matter was settled without furthes
trouble.
Miss White has sine.) been Implicated in a
number of like difficulties, but not until he*
last escapade was she confined.
A few weeks ago sbe was visiting at ths
home of a wealthy unde in Kookwall
oounty. Another unde came to take her
home. The young lady announced herself
ready to go as soon as she wont upstairs.
She weut upstairs and while there struck
several matches. As soon as the girl had
gone her aunt told her husband to go up
stairs and Bee what Bertie meant by strik
ing matches in tbe daytime. The uncle
went upstairs and found his money trunk
in flames, though it was looked. An ex
amination revealed tho fact that the
girl bad bored augur holes in the trunk,
aud after abstracting (2,100 set it
on fire by thrusting burning paper through
the holes. A horse was procured aud tbs
buggy containing the girl overtaken. As
soon as she saw her uncle she knew her deed
bad been discovered. She jumped out ol
the vehicle and ran to a neighboring spring
house where she tried to hide the money,
but she was captured and the money recov
ered. Tbe fire in the trunk did muob dam
age, destroying deeds, notes and other busi
ness papers! Tbe girl’s parents then decided
to send her to the asylum for treatment.
SLOWLY DYING FROM LOCKJAW.
Caused by a Man SO Years of Agra
Trying to Cut a Tooth.
Auburn, N. Y. f Nov. 19.—William Pang,
bum, a resident of Savannah, Wayna
county, and a traveling salesman for the
Osborne company, of this city, is reported
dying from lockjaw, resulting from a most
singular cause. Although he is CO years ol
age. two weeks ago a large tooth made i I
appearance in his jaw, cutting through the
gum at the extreme eud of the jaw, back oi
his wisdom tooth, on the left side. Tha
cutting of the tooth was attended by the
most intense pain, and when it had forced
Itself through the gum, Pangburn’s faoa
began to swell. The paiu continuing, Pang,
burn went to a dentist, who made a vaie
effort to extract the tooth. These efforts
aggravated the pain and soreness.
Pangburn’s face continued swelling, and
it now measures more than a foot across.
The tooth continues growing, and Paug
burn cannot open his jaws, which are
tightly pressed together. All the nourish
ishment he receives is what he succeeds in
sipping between his teeth. His sufferiugi
are terrible, and uuless he oan soon be re
lleved iu some way, his physician says, il
does not seem possible that his life can U
saved.
