That gentleman said today that no meeting had vet been called, and that no roads were concerned in the fight except the Pennsylvania and Central. He believes the l'ennsylvania forced the cut on west-bound rates by shading' eastbound grain rates.

He says that, although no agreement has been signed. the Ontario Western and all the other roads will follow the Pennsylvania and Central Roads if they advance rates, but under no circumstances will the differential rates be given up. Vice-President Thompson of the Pennsylvania Road. who arrived here yesterday. had a long talk with Chauncey M.

Depew and told a friend that rates would be restored in a day or two. Plerpont Morgan had not arrived at his nice at a late hour today. and was said to be in conference with his lawyers, who are at work on a formal agreement which all the trunk line officials will be expected to sign. J. Hord Wright and the other members of Drexel, Morgan decline to make any statement in regard to expected conferences between Plerpont Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and President Roberts.

Public Ledge in tomorrow's financial article will say: "President Roberts and Vice-President Thompson of the Pennsylvania Railroad went to New York and spent Tuesday evening with President Depew of the New York Central. The interview developed that instead of there being friction between the New York Centril and Pennsylvania systems there is now every disposition on the part of the managements to work in harmony. The interview terminated with a reasonable hope of the New York Central advancing the west bound rates to about their original standard. a movement in which the Pennsylvania Railroad will heartily join and cooperate. The Central Traffic Association meets tomorrow at Chicago to ascertain what can be done to advance the east-bound rates.

The policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad at that meeting will be to approve an advance of the east-bound rates, provided it is made general on all classes of traffic and that no company shall be brought under an obligaticn to maintain these rates beyond any time that they may cease to be maintained by their competitors. and that all reductions of rates hereafter shall be made open and puntie."

The General Managers of the roads in the Central Traffic Association will meet at Chairman Blanchard's office tomorrow to try to settle the east-bound freight war. No meeting of managers has been held for several months.

as it was thought useless to attempt an adjustment of rates until some plan had been arranged whereby the maintenance of rates could be secured. The opinion has been gaining ground that under existing circumstances no agreement the Central Traffic Association roads could make would stop rate cutting, and that it would be necessary to unite the Central Traffic with the Trunk Line Association to insure the maintenance of paying tariffs, as the trunk lines virtually own or control most of their Western connections. But the affairs of the Trunk Line ASSOCiatiOn are in a more demoralized condition than those of the Central Traffic Association, and consequently joint action at the present time is an impossibility. Consequently Receiver MeNulta of the Vabash and other managers in the Central Traffic Association whose roads have suffered severely on account Of the low rates that have prevailed for nearly a year, in the absence of any recognized authority to call a meeting, took it on themselves to get the managers together and issued a call. All but three of the managers replied that they were desirous of having the meeting in Chicago tomorrow.

The three who objected were only opposed to the day that was suggested for the meeting and they have since signified their intention of either attending personally or sending representatives. No efforts are to be made to bring about a reorganization of the association. That will be left until a plan for the amalgamation of the Trunk Line and Central Traffic Associations can be considered. Tne special business to be considered will be In reference to advancing east-bound freight rates. especially on grain and provisions.

An effort will also be made to advance rates on dressed beef and live stock, which are now less than one-half what they were last winter. The principal difficulty will be to get all the roads to agree on an advance in grain rates. which are now only 20 cents, Chicago to New York. The Pennsylvania lines are the principal objectors to an advance for the reason that if rates are made higner an opportunity will be given weaker lines to cut the rates and make a profit, thus depriving the former of a fair proportion of the traffic. It is the opinion of the Pennsylvania that without a strong agreement to which all roads are parties rates cannot be maintained.

Still, owinz to the general desire on the part of all othsr lines to have the rates advanced. the Pennsylvania lines may waive their objections and consent to an increase. lint they will, no doubt. insist on steps being taken to prevent weaker lines from cutting. That such pledges will be given there can be no doubt.

but it is not probable that they will be adhered to for any length of time. and consequently an advance, if made, is not likely to last more than a few weeks. 9 2.640 2. 1SS 2, 04s 1 1. S46 3.443 3,101 2.

Nov. is every indication that a passenger rate war between the lines running to Chicago is about to be inaugurated. The representatives of all the lines, other than the Burlington, reached an agreement yesterday, which was submitted to Mr. Kenyon. General Agent of the Burlington Northern.

One of its provisions stipulated that no commissions should be paid by any of the lines party to the agreement except on contracts on steamship tickets. Mr. Kenyon this afternoon notified Secretary Rockwell of the St. Paul Minneapolis Passenger Association that be could not sign the agreement as it was framed. The objectionable feature of the agreement was the clause relating to commissions.

About 200 collegians accompanied the footballists, and intend to support their team with the wild enthusiasm of university life. They will be assisted by many sedate graduates. GOSSIP ABOUT THE GAME.

The team that is to encounter Chicago's young men are stout-looking young fellows whose average weight is 165 pounds. Their heaviest man, Mr. Prettyman, 192 pounds, plays centre. Their lightest man. Mr.

Smith, 140 pounus, plays quer- 1 terback. They have been playing the game all fall and have scored four victories and no defeats. They defeated the Detroit Athletic Clue 14 to 0: Albion, to Notre Dame, 10 to Notre Dame at South Bend, al to O. The Chicago team is composed of young business-men who have played in tne football elevens of Yale, Princeton, Harvard. and Columbia.

They have won one game against the English team of Chicago residents and have played a practice game against the Ilarvard school. They lack team work and training. The Michigan meu will wear white canvas jackets and knee-pants. dark blue stockings and caps. Their rallying colors for the spectators are blue and yellow.

The Chicago men's uniform is as varied as Joseph's coat. They will wear blue. crimson, orange, an black and white cauvas jackets, dark knee-trousers, and magenta stockings. Each will wear a cap to match tne jersey. The rallying colors will be those of their own and other colleges, and their cries will be the yells of the savage.

refined by a collegiate course. The receipts will be given to the Geneva Fresh Air Fund, and with fair weather will be large, as there is not a farthing of expense and HOE a deadhead will be admitted. A silver cap. the gilt of popular subscription started by O. F.

will oe presented to the winning eleven. The cup is a handsome simple silver bowl about eight inches in diameter and fifteen inches high. Ott one side are the initials C. U. C.

F. On the opposite side will be engraved the name of the winning team. THE GAME OF The game of football is one of the oldest of the outdoor sports of England. Ireland, and Scotland. In the United States it is not played to any great extent except by university men and schoolboys.

Outside of educational institutions the clubs are chiefly composed of Englishmen. Canadians, Scotchmen, and Irishmen residing in this country. The game is one in which a player requires strength, activity. courage, and pluck. There is no Oleo's play about it and delicate young men do not fare well when they indulge in it.

There are three sets of rules. Under I-Zugby rules "everything goes." and kicking. wrestling, and trapping are tine points. The English Association rules do not pei-init slugging or carrying of the ball, which must be kicaed about. the opposing players in the meantime being obliged to respect each other and indulge in no violence.

The association rules make the game too tame for American university bloods. who have a set of rules of their own, known as the Inter-Collegiate rules. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wesleyan, and the University of Pennsylvania compose the Inter-Collegiate Association. A game of football between other than university teams will attract about persons to the Polo Grounds, New York. An inter-collegiate game played at the same place will draw from to 20.0d0 spectators.

Football as played by collegians is decidedly vigorous. Compareu to it prize-fighting is a mild sport. In a prize light each participant has only one opponent to face. In a football game a Weyer who gets possession of the ball may be attacked by anywhere from one to eleven men. A prize-lighter is supposed to not mind a pair of black eyes, a broken nose, the loss of a few teeth, or a few fractured ribs.

A good man on a collegiate football team is supposed to mind not even a broken neck. He must take all chances and happy if broken in pieces anu carried oft the field in sections. Siugging is not allowed, but tack-hug Is. A tackle, as described below, is a delightful and exciting point of play. Usually the intercepting player makes the tackle when running at full speed.

He throws himself on the man with the ball, and from the force of the collision they go up in the air a few feet, like two game roosters taking a fly at eaten other, tow then down they go sprawling on the ground. The man who is tackled, if game, will endeavor to hold the ball while the members of both teams will try to form a mountain on top of hum Spectators may think they are witnessing a free fight. but it is only play, and a referee is present to see that the rules are not violated. For the benefit of those who do not unnerstand the game a few points are presented. The game is played by two teams.

eleven on each side. These are divided as shown in the list of players. The grounds are 31.) feet long and 160 wide. At each end is placed a goal. The game is played in two halves of forty-live minutes each.

The points of the score are 0 for a goal obtained by a touchdown; 5 for a goal kicked from the field; 4 for a touch-down on which a goal was not secured; and 2 for a safety touch-down by the opposing side. The number of points scored la the two halves decides the game. 53 53 711 31 10 7S 3S 43 tri 9 165 2 17 57A 0 33 512 I os 35 40 48 51 tss 259 164 C7t) 53 sr, 3415 67 69 '21t9 69 5SA 4,4 61! 33 71 1113 33 OiL Inopecting a Georgia Line.

The Joint Conference Committee of Eastern and IVestern Roads, called to arrange percentages and divisions on interchange traffic from the Mississippi River and beyond to seaboard Points, adjourned yesterday after a three days' session. Previous to adjournment the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: No agreement can be reached by this committee in regard to revision of percentages or rules, except as to Rule 6 of Circular No.

4. effective Feb. I. therefore be it 6Leso1red. That further action in regard to Circular No.

4 and applying to business from the Mississippi River points Or east thereof be deferred to some future meeting. to be called by the Chairman of this committee at the request ut three members of the committee; and WHEREAS. Action taken during the first three days of the session of the committee has been confirmed by a unanimous vote; therefore be it "Lesolved, That tne action in regard to business from Points west of the Mississippi be referred to the respective associations for confirmation." No difficulty was experienced in on the division of Dante from points west of the Mississippi River. The rates On that traffic will be based on 116 per cent of the Chicago rate from all Mississippi River points, and the division between the Eastern and Western roads will be made substantially on a mileage basis. This equalizes the rates via the various junction points between Eastern and Western roads, and will prevent discrimination in favor of Junction points west and southwest from Chicago.

On business from Mississippi River points proper. however, it was proposed by the Eastern members of the committee to use the Percentage basis in effect last summer, which varies from 116 per cent at St. Louis to '122 per cent at Upper Mississippi River points, and consequently would favor the Southern Mississippi River points and be against Upper Mississippi River points. The Western roads running from Upper Mississippi River points to Chicago would not assent to this and hence the failure to come to an agreement so far as tue traffic originating at Mississippi River points is concerned.

Although the rates on packing-house products from Missouri River points to Chicago have lately been reduced from 'Ai cents per 100 pounds to 12 cents, and the rate from Chicago to New York was reduced from 30 cents to 3. which mites the combined through rates from the Missouri River to New York only 37 cents. yet it is reported that some of the roads are now making a through rate of 34 cents. The NVestern lines lay the blame for the cutting on their Eastern connections and the Eastern roads accuse the Western. The Western Freight Association.

it is understood. is now investigating the charges in order to tind out whether or not the Western roads are responsible. It is also reported that the Milwaukee 6: St. Paul and one or two other roads are seriously cutting rates on live stock from the Missouri River. If these charges can be substantiated the Northwestern intends to put into effect a five cent rate from the Missouri Rwer to Chicago.

It intended to take such step about two weeks ago but was induced to postpone action for thirty days on the promise that rates would not be Cut below those then in effect, and that in the meantime efforts would be made to bring about a general restoration of rates. i I I ARIA TtAN -I 2 7.7 2 Va 1 I 1. 1 Notes.

7, Art. 22. of the Election law it is provided that within ninety days after each Presidential election such Election Commissioners' board shall revise and rearrange the precincts on the basis of the votes cast at such election, making such precincts to contain, as nearly as practicable, 31)0 actual voters, measured by the vote of such election; but where the votes cast at any precinct at any election equal 450 there must be a rearrangement so as to reduce the vote to the standard of as near as may be." In accordance with this section the Election Commissioners commenced yesterday to rearrange the city NV ard precincts. One additional precinct was given to each of the first four wards, and two additional to the Fifth Ward. Other new Precincts will be added in those wards.

The chances 'will add greatly to the expense of elections. The registries will have to be retranscribed in every case of a change. Voters will be confused thereby and may lose their votes. There is really no necessity for the changes made yesterday. It is not at all probable that the vote in any of the precincts will for four years to come reach that cast Nov.

6, and the judges and clerks had no difficulty in taking in and recording the ballots at the last election. The law ought to be amended so as to make 450 the standard average and 600 the minimum for necessary change. The election expenses for the year have already exceeded the appropriation by .20.000 for Lake, Hyde Park, Lake View, Cicero, and Jefferson alone. The changes now being made will double the estimated expenses. I 1 19! 4t11 13 45 14! 4: 11S 271 1 14 221 t11: 431 itt-d 3s 118 49.

Concerning the alleged Anarchist tableau said to have been given at Lincoln Turner hail Sunday night Capt.Villiers of the Hyde Park police has this to say: I was present at the exhibition. It began In the morning, the gymnastic exercises continuing throughout the day until 10:30 p. m. Two or three thousand people were there during the day mostly good German eitizens.

The tableau comprised a bust of Spies in the ceutre. Back of that was a young woman dressed like the Goddese of Liberty, with a limn torch in ona band and a sword uplifted in the other. Another woman represented Justice. She held a pair of scales, beside which was a little giel, intended. I thought.

for Molly Pitcher. The only other living figures were those of three men. One. decked out in red, was stabbing another who wore a black gown. Whether the black mask was meant for law I can't say.

The other man was strutting about. I didn't see him trample any flag. In fact. I saw no American hag at all. Red lights were burning.

and I wasn't in a good position. I got only a foreshortened view of the two figures hanged in effigy. I supposed they represented Anarchists. I didn't take one of them to be a policeman. I started to go nearer when the curtain rang down.

I came to the office, Made a sketch of the tableau, and when I returned to the hail a half hour later a dance was in full blast." Have you any evidence from others that the American Hag was insulted?" -Yes. Euouga good people have told me so to warrant an investigation. tint I have spotted the supposed offender and have him under watch. If I can get proof I'll have him. But they are all close-mouthed." Will you permit the Socialistic Turn Verein to give another exhibition in Lake View?" Never!" was Capt.

Villiers' answer. At the societils headquarters. Lincoln avenue and Halsted street, the members were ready to talk on the subject. Gus Miller said he stood on the steps leading to the stage. The ruan hanged in effigy was not a policeman.

Ile was dressed in the uniform of a French soldier. Mr. Miller denied that the society was less Anarchistic. Were purely a social and gymnastic body. We're a member of the National Turnbunci in good standing, and have a constitution exactly like those of the Aurora and Vorwarts branches.

We support a day turner school and a Sunday-school, at which no anarchy is taught." George Machmert said: I was one of the persons on the stage in the tableau, and would have knocked any man down who had dared tramp on the Stars and Stripes. This whole thing is spite work on the part of some members of the Liucola Turn Verein." Hartung is supposed to be the man who swung the alleged ax and did the alleged trampling. lie is the teacher of gymnastics and also the Sunday-school lit the society's hall back of Rachau saloon. He said the ax and flag Incident must have sprung out of nightmare. The first principle of our society is that every member must be a citizen of the United States.

It would be unnatural, with that requirement, for us to outrage our own flag. The truth about the tableau is this: Were of foreign birth or foreign parentage, and in the old country a turners' exhibition is always accompanied by historical masquerades or tableaus. This custom our society adheres to. Regarding the French revolution as a tit triumph of liberty to represent, our committee determined on a tableau giving some of its scenes. The man in the black gown who was stabbed was the priesthood of the last century.

The man hanged was a French soldier of Louis XVI. Liberty held the torch of light and the sword of truth. What about the Spies bust?" "That was the only thing that any one might not like. But it was put on solely because the poor people among us remember gratefully Spies' work in their behalf." At 8 o'clock last evening the Socialer Turn Verein held a special meeting at tneir hall. About 100 members were present.

A TRIBUNE reporter was admitted. A picture of Jahn was the only prominent ornament of the The President of the society. Hans Jansen, the liquor dealer at Larrabee and Vedder streets. occupied the chair. The speakers fairly boiled over with indignation at the current reports.

A large number of members testified that they saw the tableau through, and that there was no American flag on the stage or anything done or inteneed to offend existing Government. Resolutions were passed branding the report about the ax and flag as false and expressing the allegiance of the members to the United States and local governments. Capt. Villiers says there are as many Anarchists in Lake View as in Chicago. The district formerly known as Nickersonville, extending from Fullerton avenue, Clybourn avenue, and High street back into Lake View and including the headquarters of the Socialer Turn Vereln, contains, he says, several hundred who are only awaiting an opportunity to organize again.

EVA MITCHELL'S MURDERER. S. Le Mr. Doolittle Submits a Minority Report Mr. Peek's At the meeting of the City Board of Education last night a communication was received from the Sons of America asking permission to donate American flags to the principal public schools.

Referred. A petition from about fifty Hollanders living in the neighborhood of Blue Island avenue and Eighteenth street for a night school for the study of English was also referred. It was decided to close the public schools today. Mr. Doolittle read a minority report from the .1 udichiry Committee on the subject of compulsory education.

He said: "I do not regard the Compulsory Education law of Illinois as either invalid or inoperative. I have believed that if there were enough schoolhouses it would not be found a bard task to get the children to attend. The Legislature should confer on the board and the City of Cnicago the power to condemn the fee of land required for school buildings. By this means alone can suitable sites be ootained in certain crowded localities. I will therefore make the following suggestions: (1) That the board cause a notification to be published in the press in all the languages spoken in the city of the requirements of the law and of its purpose to enforce the same.

(2) That a department of compulsory education be created under the Superintendent of Schools; that tile city be Oivided into four districts. and that an iuspector be appointed for each district whose duty it shall be to investigate and make daily reports of all cases under the law in his district. (3) That an assistanattorney be appointed to prosecute oft tenses under the law. (4) That school books be supplied to indigent pupils. (5) That relations be established with the Board of Commissioners of Cook County looking to the supnort of pauper children.

(tl) That the board assign the necessary teachers to all eleemosynary institutions in the city where requested so to do." The report was ordered published and referred. Mrs. Mitchell read a communication from the Wornans Club asking that the board take steps to enforce the compulsory law. On motion of Mr. Peck the Committee on Buildings and Grounds was instructed to inquire into the advisability of building schoolhouses on the Belden and Sheffield avenue school sites.

He afterwards amended motion so as to instruct the Committee on Buildings and Grounds to bring in a report at the next meeting as to the numuer of schools required by the whole city the next year.

report of the New York. Lake Erie Western Railroad Company for the year ending Sept. 30, showing a loss of nearly in operating the lines of the New York, Pennsylvania Ohio, caused a sensation in railway circles in this city. President Kings statement that a modification of the lease is necessary. and hinting that.

if it is not brought about, it is a grave question as to what action should be taken by the stockholders," has aroused the liveliest speculation here. and it is believed by persons in a position to know something about Erie and New York. Pennsylvania Ohio affairs that the former is anxious to get the lease off its hands, or else force such a modification as will make its continuance no longer an object to the Nypano management. The New York, Pennsylvania Ohio is leased to Erie for ninety-nine years from the 1st of May, laSa, at an annual rental of 35 per cent of the gross earnings. This was modified in 1SS7, when the rental was fixed at 32 per cent of the gross earnings up to one-tenth of I per cent on each over that sum up to and one-third of the gross earnings if they exceed the latter sum.

For the last two years the Erie has earned a small surplus over the rental, and while it was expected that there would be a falling off no such decrease was anticipated. Vice l'resident John Tod of the Nypano said this evening: "I am surprised at the amount of the deficit and can't understand it. I have beard nothing of any contemplated attempt to throw up the lease by the Erie, and hardly believe that It will be done. The present arrangement is advantageous to the Nypano. and I presume our people would tight a move toreall the lease.

resident hitehead is in New York and has not advised me of any such scheme. There have been some extraordinary expenses on the Nypano this year, but this was largely due to the fact that the lessees had permitted the property to run down. We have spent a good deal of money ourselves double-tracking the Mahoning Division and buying new equipment. I am not prepared to say what we would do if the lease should be abrogated." Erie officials in this city were at a loss to explain the situation. and are rather nervous.

fearing a radical change of some character. A Vanderbilt official said this afternoon: I believe that the Erie Is preparing to give up both the Nypano and Chicago Atlantic, and devote itself exclusively to business through Buffalo. It has a splendia line between New York and Buffalo. and could make traffic aereements with the Lake Shore. Michigan Central, or Grand Trunk which would be fully as advantageous as its present arrangement.

This would also remove a disturbing factor in east and west bound -rates and the Pennsylvania, Vanilerbilts, and Erie would work together more harmoniously. Things are drifting this way now. The train service between Buffalo and New York is being improved, while that on the Nypano being cut down. Several of the, Erie'a fast freight lines are now going over the Nickel Plate and the Grand Trunk." What would become of the Nypano under these circumstativea is hard to say. It cannot begin to earn its fixed charges and would be in bad shape.

About is required to pay rentals. hire of cars, interest on prior lien bonds and taxes. and it is doubtful if it could realize that amount helped out by special traffic arrangements with other road. Developments will be watched with interest here. TIIE GAME EXPLAINED.

Kick offThe game is started by kicking the ball from the middle of the field. After each goal the game is renewed at the middle of the Held by a "kick-off." TackleOccurs when a player of one side runs with the ball under his arm and is intercepted by a player of the opposing side. Heldls called by the tackler when he has the runner secure. DownIs called by the runner when he is firmly held. A scrimmageFollows a down.

It is putting the ball in play. The centre forward of the side having the bad down kicks the bad back to the man behind him. Snap backIs the kick that puts the ball in this man's hands. Quarter backIs the man who receives the bail from the centre forward. To puntIs to kick the ball by tossing it from the hand and kicking it before it strikes the ground.

A drop kickIs to kick the ball as it rebounds from the ground. In a drop kick the ball should be kicked the instant it strikes the ground. Free catchIs where an opponent catches a kicked ball on the fly. A free catch is given where a player is interfered with making a free catch by an opponent who is "off side." 011 sideA player is off side when he is between his opponents goal and the man on his side who kicks the ball. He is put on side the instant an opponent touches the ball.

Safety touch downIs when one side is obliged to touch the halt to the ground behind their goal line. There are two kinds of "safeties." Where the ball is kicked over the line by the opponents the poirrt counts nothing. though it indicates an advantage to the opponents. NV tere the opponents force the other side to carry the ball behind their goal line and touch it to the ground two points are given to the opponents. Touch in goal is good where the ball is out of bounds behind the goal line.

It is the same as a safety touch down. A safety touch down allows the side that made it to take a free kick twenty-live yards from their goal line. A touch downIs where an opponent carries the ball over the goal line and touches it to the ground. A touch down counts four points, and the siQe that made it takes the ball in tront of the goal and takes a place kick at the goal. The goal is composed of two posts.

twenty feet high, eighteen and a half feet apart. and a cross-bar trom post to post ten feet above tne ground. To make toe point called a goal the ball must be kicked over the cross-bar between the posts. A goal resulting from the place kick allowed oy a touch down adds two points to the touch down. A goal kicked from the ileid.

either from a place kick secured by a fair catch of a Hy or by a drop kick. counts live points. FoulIs to throw the ball. bat the ball. touch the ball when off side.

interfere with a lair catch when of side, to tackle around tne neck or below the arms at anytime. to tackle or hold player wbeg he has not the ball, or to strike or trip an onponeat. A foul stops all play. The ball is taken to the place where the foul occurs. Many fouls occur during a game that are not claimed because the side making the foul would thereby gain ground.

An opponent only can claim a foul. be called at uny staze of the game and at any place in the Lehi. When play is resumed the ball is put in play at the place it was down at the calling of tune. except at the close of the first half of the game. At the beginning of each half of the game the ball is kicked off." He Is Still at LargeThe Police Working Hard.

The pelice spent yesterday in chasing new dews in the Eva Mitchell murder case. An anonymous letter which Capt. Hunt received led to a protracted search for a certaia La Salle street real-estate agent. but when found he denied all knowledge of the girl, though circumstances justify the conclusion that he was with her but a short While before the accident. Mrs.

Mitchell was seen yesterday in regard to the Courtright letter published in yesterday's TRIBUNE. She was indignant and claimed that it did her great injustice. She said that Eva's stepmother was a sister of the writer's wife, and an ugly. quick-tempered woman. Evas father married Ler on short acquaintance tie-cause he had children and wanted them cared for.

She pretended to be an angel, but was always cross to the cliiitiren She said she did not know anything about the grandmother's will. The stcomotner used to slap Eva and always treated her harshly. and Oliver always took Eva's part It was untrue that the trouble began when Irene Wilson went to Eva's father's house. Eva was working out at the time they were married, as she could prove by many witnesses Eva always thought well of both Mr. and Mrs.

Mitcliell and they of her, Mrs. Courtright did not like Mrs. Mitchell because the rest of the family did, 11 ti she wrote what she did to cast a slur on tnem. She said that Oliver Mitchell could not get the property anyway, because he was only a half-brother of Eva. Jr.

regard to Lady. she said be always did all he could for Eva. Ile wanted to buy her some clothes at the time of her death. The reason Lady never married was that he might take care of his mother. Speaking of Airs.

The bride wore a Directoire costume with diamond ornaments. Grinnell and Sebaack Say It Was Undoubtedly Sebnaubelt. Judge Grinnell was seen last night and was asked what he thought of the statement of Chleboun in his testimony to the effect that Hronek had told him that he bad thrown the bomb at the haymarket massacre. He did not throw it." said the Judge. Schnaubelt Is the man that threw that bomb, and no one else.

I have had hundreds of letters from different persons, all claiming to have thrown the bomb. In regard to that statement, however, I knew of that last sunimer. Ifroneit might have told Chletioun that he had thrown the bomb, but it was said merely for the sake of a little cheap notoriety." The Judge spoke jocularly of and gave not the least credence to the matter. Capt. Schaack was seen by a reporter yesterday evening and asked if he had any faith in lironek's alleged statement that he had thrown the bomb at the haymarket" No; I do not.

We have Proved who threw that bomb. Schnaubelt threw that bomb and we shall do nothing in the matter until be comes back." "Have you proof outside of that developed in the trial of the other "Walt until Schnau belt comes back. He threw the bomb. I know it. I Ciin prove it.

I will prove it. I ant not going to take the statement of every crank that comes up in court accused of anarchy. or any other seeker of notoriety, that he threw the bomb. How many men do you suppose have made that boast and called it a confession? When we get hold of a man that talks that way we lock him up a couple of days until his delirium tremens or insanity develops." With this criticism of the Anarchist's plea the Captain dived back into a trunk full of letters, papers, and documents, which he seemed to be minutely examining. A surreptitious glance disclosed the fact that it was testimonybags full of Ittestimony and newspaper accounts of the haymarket riot and Anarchist meetings He was minutely examining all of it.

Was be going to prove to the court that Schnaubelt wag the eome-terower or is he inclined to believe the awry about Lirooeit? 24 3 2-2M ii Blaze in a New Building. George T.
