Thfl Harvard Eleven in Bad 9hape From
Its Game With Yale—Five of Her Best
Players Borne From the Field During
the Progress of the Game—But for an
Oversight by the Umpire She Would
Have Been Shut Out.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 29.—Over
*1 ulmed, broken, and shattered, but light
ing desperately to the last, Harvard went
down before Pennsylvania this afternoon,
] a score of 18 to 4. The precious four was
wrenched out of the jaws of defeat by des
jn-rate p laying and a reckless disregard of
]if, ; or limb by the wearers of the crim
son. Harvard was defeated, but no dis
j. attached to their overthrow, as they
played a magnificent game from start to
finish, and the loss of five of their best
inrn from injuries weakened thorn when
their help was most needed. The Harvard
men showed the effects of the terrible
struggle they went through at Springfield
on Saturday last and in almost every rush,
some one of their bruised and battered
pi,tvers would remain stretched out help
less on the turf.
Early in the game Harvard suffered an
irreparable loss in the injury and retire
ment of Capt. Emmons, and before the
game was over, Fairchild, Charlie Brewer,
Hallow 11 and Frank Shaw were borne
from the field.
Pennsylvania made her first punt three
minutes before the call of time in the first
half, when Gilbert threw Hayes across
the line after catching a punt for a safety
touch-down. In the second half Pennsyl
vania scored three touch-downs, from
two of which goals were kicked, making
the total score 18. Waters made Harvard's
one touch-down about the middle of the
second half, but Arthur Brewer failed at
the try of goal, and Harvard did not suc
ceed in scoring again.
But for a palpable oversight on the part
of the umpire, Harvard would probably
have been shut out. The ball had been
punted into Pennsylvania’s territory, and
striking on the ground, one of the Harvard
ii u rushed and kicked It against Brooke’s
body, and it bounded back and a Harvard
man fell upon it. The umpire gave the
ball to Harvard, though it was clearly an
off-side play, and then it was that by a
series of fierce plunges through Pennsyl
vania's line from the twenty yard line
that the crimson carried the ball up and
over the goal line of the red and blue.
The fine condition of the Pennsylvania
players told as the struggle progressed,
and from the middle of the first half till
the end of the game, with the one excep
tion of when Harvard made its touch
down, the piay was mostly in the crimson
territory.
Though Pennsylvania’s play lac ked the
fierce rush that overbore Princeton, still,
a* the certainty of victory grew brighter,
the red and blue played with greater and
greater ardor, and toward the close of the
game they were sweeping Harvard be
fore them almost as the dust is carried
before the winds.
Though Harvard’s list of casualties was
large, it was due only to the hard game
that w r as being played and the poor con
dition of its men, for in marked contrast
to the Springfield game, there was no
slugging or brutal playing indulged in by
cither team. Only good, hard, clean foot
ball was played by both sides, and
throughout the game the best of feeling
wa > shown by the players on both sides.
Pennsylvania to-night is fairly revel
ling in the delirium of joy, for through
long years of defeat and disaster they
have struggled on to victory and they
dosed the season of 1894 with an un
tarnished record of victories. The Penn
sylvania boys claim that they are fairly
entitled to the honor of the champion
6hi:> of the college foot ball world, as
Tale has refused to meet them, and as
th y have defeated Harvard, Tale's great
antagonist, by a larger score than the
blue- made. Pennsylvania now aw’aits anx
i'jusly the result of the game with Prince
ton, which Yale plays on Saturday, and if
the Tigers should down the New Haven
Is Pennsylvania will have a clear title
to the championship.
*' “ver was there a more perfectly ideal
'*!>■ for a foot ball game. The sky was
| !'> idless and the air bracing, but mild.
The gridiron had been resodded from end
*<j end and was as level as a board and as
■ rr n and nearly as hard as an asphalt
pavement. A board fence, four feet in
h>ght inclosed the grounds, and beyond
this again was another fence completely
encircling the first one. Back of the
°nd fence, rising tier upon tier high
into the air. were four stands, enclosing
'he field. Two immense stands on the
j ;’h and south ran the length of the
b and two smaller ones ran across the
! lon the east and west. The north sta
’ n was Harvard’s and the south Penn
sylvania's. All the stands were prettily
draped with the colors of both colleges.
'I he gates were throw’n open at noon

Pennsylvania held a consultation. What
ever was said was most effective, for
from this time on there was more dash
and spirit in the play of the Quakers
A few minutes later Fairchild, in catch
ing a punt, was downed and badlv hurt.
The doctor and rubbers worked with him
for some time, but finally decided that
he must leave the field. The gritty boy
refused to go, and he was dragged off
with tears rolling down his face. Dunlap
came on In Fairchild s place, but Char
lie Brewer went to full back and the
last comer took the curly-haired half
back's position.
The play was now becoming fast and
hard, and the strain was now beginning
to show on Harvard. Bull, in a scrim
mage, hurt his hand, but after having it
bandaged up resumed.
Charlie Brewer was the next man to be
crippled. In a savage tackle with Knlpe he
hurl his injured leg, and like Fairchild
he was dragged protesting and crying
from the field. The curly-haired Hayes
came on at full back and Dunlop to half
hack In place of Brewer. The advent of
Haves Into the game was a costly one for
Harvard, for he cost them Just twelve
points. Knipe was hurt in bucking the
line, but continued play after a few min
utes’ intermission.
At exactly 3:20 o'clock, an hour and three
minutes after play had been begun, the
whistle sounded for the call of time for
the first half without either side having
scored.
Play was resumed at 3:39 o'clock. Har
vard now had the east goal and the sun
in its eyes. Waters kicked off. and five
minutes later Wagonhurst had the ball
behind th" goal posts for a touch-down.
Brooke kicked the goal, and the score was
8 to 0 against Harvard.
The adherents of Pennsylvania never
ceased from this time forward, except
when Harvard made a touch-dqwn, to
cheer and sing songs indicative of their
joy. Pennsylvania was now playing fast
and furiously, and in a mass play on the
tackle Hallowed's unfortunate nose came
In for another bang. Hallowell was
stretched out by the blow and again he
was helped to his feet, he reeled and
staggered off the field, gesticulating and
throwing his arms wildly about. He was
laid down on the ground, beside the other
cripples, but before long he became de
lirious and was carried into the dressing
room at the corner of the field.
As defeat and added disgrace of being
shut out loomed before them the Harvard
players became imbued with a savage
energy, Hayes, WhUtipore, Waters and
Dunlop plunged irresistably through Penn
sylvania’s line. Still they could not avert
their fate. The ball was on Harvard’s 40-
yard line. Again it was passed to Hayes
for a kick and again he fumbled the ball
and Knipe picked it up, ran with all speed
towards Harvard’s goal. Arthur Brewer
was close upon his heels, but he could not
gain upon him, and when Knipe was but
three yards from the Harvard goal line
Brewer with a last despairing effort fairly
hurled himself through the air after him,
and got him by one foot and brought him
down. Before Knipe could roll over the
line, Whlttmore was upon him. Brewer had
knocked the'wind out of himself In his
effort to stop Knipe, but resumed after a
few minutes Intermission. Gelbert made
two yards through the line and then Knipe
went through tht enter for a touch-down.
The touch-down >‘.Vs made far on one side
of the goal and Brooke kicked out to Wil
liams. Williams made a fair catch, but
Brooke failed to kick the goal, the ball
striking the posts and bounding back.
The score was now twelve to nothing
against Harvard, with only ten minutes
more of play left.
The ball was kicked off again by Har
vard and Pennsylvania again carried it
up to the crimson’s twelve-yard line.
Brooke made a feeble effort at goal from
the field, but came nowhere near it.
Hayes kicked to Pennsylvanias 35-yard
line and the ball, bounding on the field,
struck Brooke and Cabot fell upon it.
The ball should have clearly been Penn
sylvania’s for off-side play, as Brooke had
not touched it, but the umpire probably
thought he had, and gave the ball to
Harvard. The ball was now on Pennsyl
vania’s fifteen-yard line, and here Har
vard made its most desperate rally. Wa
ters and Hayes bucked the line like mad
men. Pennsylvania was unable to stem
the onslaught and the ball was carried
up and over their line for a touch-down by
Waters. Arthur Brewer failed at the try
for goal the ball striking the posts and
bounding back.
From this time on the game was en
tirely in Pennsylvania’s hands and Har
vard could only oppose to their advance
the desperate resistance of a brave but
shattered team. Frank Shaw was hurt
and Doucette took his place. Brooke
made another miserable try for a goal
from the field, and Osgood made another
wonderful run of sixty yards around
Harvard's right end to the crimson ten
yard line. Wharton and Knipe plunged
through the line to within three yards of
Harvard’s goal and then Osgood went
around the right end for another touch
down. Brooke kicked out to Williams,
who made a fair catch and Brooke again
kicked the goal.
In five minutes more time was called,
at 4:50 o’clock, and the Harvard players
left the field with bowed heads and tearful
faces.
As the referee’s whistle sounded the
crowd swept over into the field, and pick
ing up the victorious Pennsylvanians on
their shoulders, bore them away to the
training house, a square off.
Over in the Harvard dressing room the
scene was really a pitiful one. The men
were broken-hearted and terribly bruised
and battered by the hard play. Emmons,
Hallowed, Frank Shaw, Charlie Brewer,
and Fairchild were all unable to walk,
and were carried out and placed In the
carriages that were waiting for them.
Hallowed did not seem to be seriously In
jured, and had recovered from his de
lirium. . ......
To-night the two teams attended the
theater and If any one went there with
the Idea of knowing anything that was
going on on the stage, the howling col
legians In the audience speedily dissipated
this notion by drowning the performance.
The followers of Pennsylvania are having
a veritable saturnalia of rejoicing on the
Streets to-night, and ad the usual scenes
that' follow a big college foot bad game
are being enacted.

Two 25-minute halves.
Of the five injured players of Harvard’s
team Hallowell was the only one who suf

nose, which had been broken was in
jured again and he dropped from loss of
blood and exhustion. He went to bed
early to-night and will probably be all
right in a day or two. Emmons re

A ROUGH AND TUMBLE GAME.
The Columbia Athletic Club Defeats
Georgetown University.
Washington, Nov. 29.—T0-day was a per
fect foot ball day and about 4,000 people
witnessed the annual game for the cham
pionship of the District of Columbia,
played between the Georgetown college
eleven and the Columbia Athletic Club
team. The Columbia boys will keep the
handsome silver trophy for another year,
winning by scoring 20, and shutting the
college boys out. The game was very
rough and four men were carried from the
field. Harder, the clever little Columbia
quarter-back, broke his collar bone in the
first 15 minutes play. It is feared that
“Shorty” Baher is internally injured.
Shields and Callahan distinguished them
selves, the former for his brilliant all
round playing, and the latter for his un
necessary roughness and slugging, re
ceiving a black eye from Dickinson. At
no time was Columbia’s goal in much dan
ger, and when time was called in the first
half, the ball W’as on Georgetown’s 1-yard
line. The Georgetown boys were plainly
out of condition, as shown by their nu
merous accidents and the fact that all
scores were made in the second half, the
Columbia boys standing the rough play
much better than their opponents. The
teams weighed just about the same.
The score was as follows:
C. A. C. Position. G. U.
Shields Full Back Murphy
Lewis Right Half Back Bahen
S. Johnson ..Left Half Back Mahoney
Harder Quarter Back C. Carmody

Penton Right End Boyle

linesman.

VIRGINIA DOWNS THE TARHEELS.
The North Carolina Boys Beaten by a
Score of 34 to 0.
Richmond, Nov. 29.—Fully six thousand
people attended the game of foot ball
plp.yed here to-day between the Univer
sity of Virginia and the University of
North Carolina teams. From an athletic
standpoint, the game could hardly be
called a success, as the North Carolinians
were clearly outclassed at every point. It
was observed that they went into the
contest with grave fears of defeat, and
ten minutes after the struggle began, it
was still more evident that their appre
hensions would be realized. The Vir
ginians won easily by a score of 34 to 0.

Baker succeeded Burlingame In the last
half and before the close of the game
Graham war substituted for Baskerville,
who sprained ljis knee, and Baird
wrenched his hip ,and was succeeded by
Guion, who In turn was succeeded by
King. The effects-of the careful train
ing to which :he Ytirglnla lads had been
subjected ’were evidenced In all their ac
tions and -.their tpam work was, ex
cellent. The players composing the elev
en were nearly all experienced, while the
North Carolinians showed lack of prac
tice and a degree of weakness which was
unquestionably the result of their Inexpe
rience and want of training. To make
the superiority of the Old Dominion even
more manifest they (considerably out
weighed the “Tar Heyls" and broke
through their lines with facility. What
the "Tar Heels" lacked In skill
and strength they more than made
up In pluck and determination. al
though these qualities served for but lit
tle against the odds that handicapped
them.
The game was clean played through
out and wai freq from the slugging and
many other disagreeable things which
have heretofere put the sport In disfavor
In Richmond.
It was generally conceded that for tlie
time they had played together the North
Carolinians did splendid work. In the first
half they came near scoring, but Sharp,
when running with a clear field, stumbled
In the grass before making the touch
down and the Virginians sooi forced the
ball back to the east end. The Individual
work of the North Carolina boys was ex
cellent, but they were not solid In team
work. Pope made the superb record of
kl.-klng goal five times out of a possible
six. The time that he missed, however,
was the easiest score to make.
After the game a brilliant reception was
tendered the two teams at the Common
wealth Club by the Richmond alumni of
the university. The guests, numbering
pernaps 600, ladles and gentltmen, were
received by a committee of ladles, assisted
by Gov. O'Ferrall and several Of the resi
dent alumni.

TUSCALOOSA DOWNS AUBURN.
Tbe Score 18 to 0 and the Game Free
From Ruffianism.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 29.—About 4,000
people witnessed the game of foot ball
played here this afternoon between the
Agricultural and Mechanical College of
Auburn and the University of Alabama
team of Tuscaloosa. It had been looked
forward to with considerable Interest,
caused by the Intense rivalry between the
two coleges, and there were people In at
tendance from all over the state.
Before the game Auburn made a protest
against Tuscaloot I'a playing outside men,
and In consequence two former University
of North Carolina students were de
clared out. Another protest was filed
against Shelly and Abbott of Tuscaloosa,
It being charged that they are each paid
a salary. This was denied by the Univer
sity of Alabama . epresentatlves, and the
mutrlculatlon of ' ue two men was shown
to be regular and they entered the game.
In the first 35-mlhute half Tuscaloosa
made a touch down and kicked a goal,
and in the last half two touch downs
were made and two goals were kicked
by the University, while Auburn failed to
score, thus leaving the scoie 18 to 0.
This makes honors even, Tuscaloosa
having suffered a defeat at the hands
of Auburn last year.
Not a single man on either of the
elevens was Injured and the game
throughout was free from slugging and
ruffianism.

Macon team. About 3,000 people saw the
game. No serious accidents occurred, but
there was some slugging. The betting
was three to one on the Macon team.
Several thousand dollars changed hands,

surprise.

LAND SLIDES INTO THE BAY.
Many Lives Lost by a Novel Disaster
at Tacoma.
The Strip That Slipped Away 1.400
Feet Long and 100 Feet Wldt—lt Was
Composed of Made Ground and Had
Nothing to Hold It in Place—A Man
and a Girl Known to’ Have Perished
and Heavy Loss of Life on a Fleet of
Small Craft Probable.
Tacoma, Washington, Nov. 29.—Shortly
after 11 o’clock last night forty-five feet
of the south end of the Puget Sound ware
house of the Northern Pacific railroad
on the water front, including the office
of the road, the cattle sheds and the pump
house for the hydraulic work of filling In
tide lands, sank Into the bay. John Han
sen, a watchman, was In the pump house
and has not been seen since. He Is be
lieved to have been drowned.
Close by the south end was the boat
house of H. H. Alger, built partly on
made land and partly on piles. This
turned over completely. A family of six
persons were asleep In the boat house
at the time. All were rescued except a 15-
year-old girl named Emma, who Is miss
ing. At an early hour this morning the
land seemed to be still slowly slipping Into
'the bay. Whether It was caused by
some convulsion of nature, or merely the
slipping of the made land Into the oay
remains to be seen. What appeared to
be a tidal wave was observed by Sergt.
Harris at Old Town, more than a mile
away. Several ships parted their cables,
but were secured before sustaining any
damage.
The length of the strip which caved In
Is about 1,4(8) feet and the damage done
extends back In places 100 feet. The ground
Is all made, that is, filled In, and com
posed of loose rock, earth and debris of
all kinds. This has never had anything
to brace It or hold It In place, and the
recent heavy rains have undermined It,
causing It to slide forward Into the bay,
carrying everything In its course. This
Is the generally accepted theory as to
the cause of the accident.
The whole water front at this point was
anchoring ground for what Is called the
“Mosquito fleet,” made up of small craft.
Many of these vessels have disappeared,
and thus far no trace of them has been
found. Many of the boats served us
sleeping apartments for their owners,
and for this reason It Is thought several
lives have been lost besides those of Han
son, the watchman, and Emma Stubbs,
the 15-year-old step-daughter of Mr. Al
ger.
A diver will at once search for the
missing property which lies at the bottom
of the bay. An estimate of the damage
to property Is hard to give, but It will
be over $50,000. Much freight, some of It
perishable, was standing on the wharves
and stored In the warehouse which col
lapsed. Some of this merchandise can be
readily recovered, but much of It will
prove a total loss. A small army of work
men are already at work moving freight
and saving goods which He within reach.
No bodies have been recovered.

FALL OF PORT ARTHUR.
Two Thousand Chinese Killed During
the Cannonading of the Place.
London. Nov. 29.—The correepondent of
the Central News at Toklo telegraphs as
follows: “Details off the fall of I'ort Ar
thur are now beginning to arrive. The
number of Chinese killed In the engage
ment was about 2,000, most of whom were
slain during the cannonading of that
place on Nov. 30. The statements that
there was a further excessive slaughter
of Chinese, although It would have been
excusable In consequence of the mutilation
and torture of Japanese soldteis, are ab
solutely denied by the Japanese officers
in command. During the attack upon
Fort Arthur a large force of Chinese from
Foe Chow, and beyond Kin Chow, at
tacked the latter place, but the Japanese
garrison repulsed them after severe fight
ing, with a heavy loss to the Chinese. The
Japanese loss was 20 killed and 60 wound
ed, Including several officers."

that the Japanese army under Field.fc.ur
shal Yumagata has passed through the

forty miles from Moukden.
A dispatch to the Central News from
Tlen-Tsln says that Viceroy LI Hung
Chang has postponed his trip to Pao-Tlng-
Foo, ami has gone to Taku to Inspect the
forts there.
The 1 'ally News will reproach Japan
again to-morrow for continuing the war,
saying: “There is no clear, open, avowed
issue between the Chinese and the power
which revels in the luxury of hitting at
them when they are down. No war in our
recollection has been continued on such
terms.
The Standard says: "If the United
States succeeds In its praiseworthy ef
forts toward the negotiation of peace It
will deserve the thanks of humanity. Wo
advise Japan to stay her hand. She can
retire from the contest with unstained
laurels and with the maximum amount of
advantage that external forces will per
mit her to reap. The Idea of a gigantic
line outside of the war indemnity Is a
mere Infatuation.”
Shanghai, Nov. 29.—1 t Is announced that
as a sop to the foreign residents In
China Nankin and one of the ports of the
island of Hainan will be opened to trade.
The Mercury says that the British and
other naval officers who v*“F?i Fort Ar
thur assert that It must have been cap
tured without much difficulty, as only the
eastern forts resisted. No Japanese ex
cept the gunners, fired a shot. The whole
place was intact. The officers confirm the
report that the Japanese commander or
dered hts men to give no quarter, since
in marching from Tallen Wan he found
eleven bodies of JapaheSe soldiers horri
bly mutilated.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 29.—The Novoe
Vremya to-day says the lrreconcilible po
sition assumed by Japan renders it encum

DESTRUCTION OF DERELICTS.
England Not in Favor of an Interna
tional Conference.
London, Nov. 29.—The admiralty and
board of trade committee, which for some
time past has been considering the subject
of the destruction of derelict vessels, does
not advise the adoption by the government
of any scheme for the destruction of aban
doned vessels, or the holding of an inter
national conference on the subject. It
does, however, recommend the better re
porting of derelicts as to their character,
location, etc., and the periodical publica
tion of such reports.
The committee further says that the
danger of disasters resulting from collis
ion with derelict* Is probably greatly ex
aggerated, as the number afluat at one
time In the entire north Atlantic has not
exceeded 19. The publication of the Infor
mation In regard to derelict Vessels given
In tho charts Issued by the United States
would, the committee states, be Impractic
able, and Its use would be likely to mis
lead mariners and needlessly alarm them.

The Monroe Doctrine Involved in the
Nicaraguan Flurry.
A Fruitless Discussion of Forty Years’
Standing Would Be Re-opened by
Yielding to the Contention of Great
Britain—The New Order of Control at
Bluefield’s Tacitly Agreed to by Great
Britain for Several Months Past.
Washington, Nov. 29.—The present con
dition of the Nicaraguan Involvement ap
pears to be this; The United States dis
tinctly refuses to reopen the Mosquito
question at the point where negotiations
were proceeding a year ago, when the only
law In the disputed territory emanated
from Chief Clarence, and the filibustering
supporters he had gathered around him.
The reopening of the question at this point
appears to be what Great Britain desires.
It is held by the United Stutcs that thw
new government established by Nicara
gua at BldsOelds Is admittedly a vast Im
provement upon the Irresponsible rule of
an Ignorant half breed, and that Great
Britain, In common with the United States
and other countries In the Interest of
commerce, should now be willing to up
hold an organised government for thet
maintenance of order and for the protec
tion of foreign Interests In that sparse
ly settled country. YVhlle to some extent
the negotiations which England herself In
vited under pressure, looking to the abro
gation of the treaty of Managua, involved
the threshing over of much old straw, tho
Indisputable facts remain that Great Brit
ain has known and tacitly agreed to tho
new order of control which has existed at
Bluefields for several months, that Great
Britain has been fully aware of the ap
proval extended by the United States to
the Nicaraguan assumption of responsi
bility for the preservation of lnw and or
der there, and that Great Britain has re
frained, until goaded by the expulsion of
ex-Consul Hatch from rehabilitating tho
claims of an ancient tribe of Indiana
whose present members consist of Jamai
ca negroes, half breeds and law-resisting
whites of various nationalities.
Under the circumstances the United
States could hardly do otherwise than re
sist an attempt tc return to the old order
of things. For forty years not the slight
est progress had resulted from the con
tinuous and exasperating negotiations
growing out of the Clayton-F.ulwer treaty
with Its voluminous correspondence, unttl
Nicaragua secured complete and final con
trol over the Mosquito territory last Au
gust, The valuable time consumed by tbe
great statesmen of thin country and of
Great Britain In the exchange of Ideas
resulted In affecting the convictions of
neither In the slightest degree, and with
the recollection of this condition of hope
less discussion of a question) forced upon
the present administration It Is regarded
as certain that the United States will not
be Induced to again throw opep to profit
less discussion the principles of the Mon
roe doctrine, which are now held to he
firmly established beyond any possible
friendly contention by a foreign power.
Notwithstanding the natural desire of
naval authorities to disclaim any menace
to a friendly country In the announced In
tention to maintain unusually large fleets
on both coasts of Central America this
winter, It Is not denied that the ships are
held In readiness to proceed under tele
graphic orders, nor is It regarded as at
all probable that the fleets, while cruising
near Nicaragua, Panama or Venezuela,
will even passively encourage any disre
spect for the American flag In those wa
ters.
London, Nov. 30.—This morning's news
papers do not refer editorially to the re
qorted differences between the United
States and England In Central America.
TRAGEDY AT A GUN CLUB SHOOT.
Two Men Fatally Wounded and a Third
to Lose His Sight.
New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 29.—8 y the
accidental discharge of a gun during the
Thanksgiving day shoot of the Eastslde
Hod and Gun Club this afternoon two
men were fatally Injured and a third so
seriously wounded that the surgeons say
he will lose his sight. While the shooting
match was In progress Henry McCauley, a
member of tbe club, was standing with a
party of friends, loading a gun, prepara
tory to taking his place at the traps. After
placing the loaded shells In the gun he
closed It with a snap. As the butt of the
gun barrels struck the breech both shells
exploded. William Griggs, aged 28, *. shoe
manufacturer, who was standing nearest
to McCauley, received almost the entire
load of shot from one shell In his right
temple and fell to the ground without ut
tering a sound. George Hotzworth, 28
years of age, a ship captain, who stood
near by, was also wounded in the right
temple, and William Hoover received a
part of the load of the second shell In the
face, several of the shot entering his eyes.
The wounded men were removed to the
Wells hospital, where, at a late hour,
Griggs and Hotzworth were said to be
dying, and that Hoover, If he recovered,
would be blind. The accident caused much
excitement among the crowd of about 1,000
persons present, ami several iadlee fainted.
No arrest has been made, and McCauley,
when he saw the victims of the accident
In the hospital, was much overcome with
grief and wept as though his heart would
break.
