The latter ran thirty yards with it A sharp contest for tbe bounding piece of leather fuliowed. The best play of the day was made at this point by the Yale team, which played a fine block game Beecher, the quarter back, losing only ten yards at each third down of the ball. Yale's team finally succeeded in fighting its woy up to the south side of Princeton's goal, although every inch of ground was contested stoutly by tho Princeton men. Yale claimed a touch down, but the referee refused to allow it, upon the ground that the ball had not been put in play properly.

Bloomington, November 21 At o'clock this morning Judge Scott granted the supersedeas in the Anarchists' case. Messrs. Black, Swett and Salomon started at once to Ottawa to have the clerk issue the order in pursuance to Judge Scott's instruc tions.

The effect of the order for the super scdas will be to stay the execution at least until tho full bench of the Supreme Court has passed upon the questions raised for a new trial. It is estimated that in the ordinary course of procedure a hearing aud decision cannot be reached for six or eight weeks, and that even though the lower court is sustained. the sentence cannot be carried out until some time in March or April. Judge Scott's order granting the supersedeas is purely formal. Without going into any particulars or giving any reasons, he simply certifies that in his opinion there is reasonable ground for granting the writ." The news was received by the condemned men quietly with some expressions of pleasure, but few of surprise.

They treated the supersedeas as a matter of course, and said little except to intimate an increasing belief that the Illinois Supreme Court would grant them a new trial. STRIKERS START A RIOT.

The final moments wero marked by convulsions, but to night the features of the dead wore a calm and peaceful expression. Mr. Brooks carved his own way to fortune. Born at Portland, Maine, January 31, 1815, he was but a child when his father died, and the family was so poor that, at the age of eight years, he sought employment in a Boston grocery store, and obtained the rudiments of education at an evening school. Then he learned printing, aud before ho was 21 published a newspaper called The Yankee, nt Wisenssett, Maine This earned him enough money to pay for a course at Brown University, which he left to become principal of a school at Haverhill, Massachusetts, and editor of the Haverhill Otizette.

He was one of the earliest Washington correspondents, writing letters in lUi to New 1ork and New England newspapers. Soon afterward he and his brother James established the New York lir.press, publishing morning and evening editions. Originally a Whig paper, its proprietors subsequently made it an advocate of the Native American party. When Know Nothiugism died they Joined the Democratic party and carried the Kxoress with them. In 1853 aud 1S.VS Erastus Brooks was elected to the New York Senate on the American ticket, and his strong support of a bill divesting the Catholic bishops of the title to real estate held by tho Church, brought him into a controversy with Archbishop Hughes thnt was one of tbe notable features of tho Know Nothing assault upon tho Church.

In 185(1 he was tho defeated candidate of tho party for Governor of New York. His last public service was as a member of the commission appointed in 1S72 to revise the Constitution of the stale. In 18SU ho sold the Krpress to Cyrns W. Field, who combined it with the Mail into the present Mail and Express, He then retired to private life and the enjoyment of the wealth which he had accumulated. A NEW WAY TO SETTLE A STRIKE.

The Knights of Labor and the Dissatisfied Bristol Weavers.

The sum he asks is and of this he states he is willing to allow $20,000 to remain on mortgage. The idea of co operation as a satisfactory solution of the labor dilliculty and as a safe investment of some of the money of the order has long exercised the mi nds of some of its most prominent members. At the recent convention in Richmond the matter was fully considered, and it was then agreed to appropriate annually a sum of 10,000 from the general fund to be used for the purposes of co operation should an op portunity nrlse. At present the General Executive Hoard aro at their respective homes, but It is anticipated that the oiler of air. Jones win ne miiy considered at a meeting to bo held lor tho purpose next week.

Meantime all the members of the District Assembly, No. 1. have spoken favorably of tbe scheme, particularly as trouble is brew ing in ine hosiery trade in the city. Yester day James Hayes, secretary of tho District Assembly's Executive Board, stated that tho scheme was an excellent one and allorded a splendid opportunity of testing the value of co operation.

Russia's Candidate for tbe Bulgaria Throne Opposed by the Regency and England Increasing Gravity of the Crisis in France.

Berlin, November 25. The Reichstag was opened to day by Herr Von Boetticher, Minister of tho Interior, who read tbe speech from the throne, in which the Emperor says: "The object of the policy of tho Empire, which enjoys peaceiul relations with all States, Is to exert in favor of the maintenance of concord among all the powers the influence which accrue to Germany from her love of peace and from the nniversal confidence reposed in the Empire owing to the fact that Germany is not concerned in pending questions and from the Em peror's close friendship with two neighboring courts." The Emperor announces that a measure wlll.be introduced to raise the effective strength of the German army, which is Justified by the increasing of the armies of neighboring States. Tho measure is indispensable to Germany's security. The resources required will be raised by increasing matriculntory contributions and applying them to the public credit. The Emperor also mentions a measure to extend workmen's nceident insurance.

The government abandons taxation reform until the people more clearly recognize its necessity. Concerning the Beptennate bill the speech says "By the law of May fl, 1880, the peace effective was fixed until March 31, 1888. Our military System therefore renuires rennu inn nn a legal basis. The army is a guarantee of lasting protection and of the blessings of peace. Although tho policy of the Empire is always pacific, Germany, in view of the development of the military establishments of neighboring Slates, cannot longer defer increasing her defensive force, especially the peace effective.

A bill, therefore, will be submitted providine for an increase In tnba effect from the beginning of the new financial year. The Emperor, in accord with the federal governments, feels confident that the necessity of the demand, which is indispensable in the interestsof national security, will be recognized with full determination by the whole German people and their representatives." 1 he pacific tone of the SDeech has strength ened the Bourse. There was largo buying today of Austrian, Russian and Hungarian securities. It is expected that the septen nnto bill when presented to the Reichstag will be immediately referred to a commission of twenty one members, thus postponing the critical debate on the mensnrn until January.

JOHN D. EAGGIO'S FURNITURE FACTORY ENTIRELY DESTROYED. Supposed to Have Keen Caused by Spontaneous Combustion Eighteen Dwellings Damaged A Man Burned to Death in a Stable. John D. Raggio's furniture factory, near Fourth and Rued streets, was entirely destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.

He places his loss at $57,000 and insurances at about 28,000. The cause of the fire is supposed to have been the result of spontaneous combustion. About a dozen small houses adjoining were badly damaged by fire and water. THE FACTORY FIRE. A Total Loss A Number of Dwellings Badly Damaged.

When Caspar Gable, the old sexton of St. Alphonsus' Catholic Church, at the southwest corner of Fourth nnd Reed, climbed the beltry stairway at twenty minutes before four o'clock yesterday afternoon itwas with quickened step, and when he caught the rope he pulled it with renewed strength. In stead of ringing the usual vespers the bell was wildly clanging. Flames were breaking from the windows of Raggio's big furniture factory, in the centre of the block, and the old man lost no time irr alarming the neighborhood. The north end of the building wns on Rule street, running west of Fourth and aouth of Kced street.

The southern wall faced Wilder street, a small thoroughfare north of Dickinson street, and its front was on Raggio street, a little highway east of Fifth street aud extending thclength of the inanuiactory, from Rule to Wilder street. A SCENE Oi' WILD CONFUSION. On every side the burning building was surrounded by modest dwellings, and a wild scene followed the alarm. From most of the houses on tho three llttlo streets women and children kept wildly rushing in and out of their homes as the llames burst through the huge banks of smoke. Feather beds were being dropped on pavements below to escape the streams of the hose and be soaked by the steady and copious shower of rain: clothing quickly gathered in bundles nud handed out to volunteer assistants and chairs, tables, bedsteads and household utensils of all kinds piled on the pavements around the corner or borno to neighboring nouses, rom dwellings on wilder street.

by the side of the burning mill, two stoves with red hot. tires in them wero carried into a neighboring alley by a number of excited men and women. When Charles Turner rushed through the thick banks of smoke into his house at 420 Wilder street he fell over his wife, who had fainted In the kitchen. Ho soon carried her into a shoe store on Fifth street, below Wilder, where the women and little ones were being gathered together by the police. The wind at first was from the southwest nnd the llames shot against the rowof pretty six roomed houses on the north side of Rule street.

While the tire was burning the rear of lOS, 410 and 412 Rule street a score of people were trying io empty ine nouses through me front doors and windows. As soon as goods were handed out they were carried Into the rear of St. Alfonsus' Church, on the opposite siue oi ine sircet. ne nremen wero turning the stromas on the Rule street houses when llames leaped out of the southwest cornice of the church roof. Instantly the fence ou the side street was torn down and a dozen men ran into the church.

Before the fire on the roof was cxt uuruished evervtlilnsr had been removed from the altar to a safe place in the adjoining convent. The streets wero densely filled with smoke, when, shortly be lore 3 ciock, there was a Dig gust oi wind and almost instantly the south wall of the mm len into wilder street, crushing tnc upper story of two of tho uouscs on the lower side and breaking through the roof of 409 wnaer street. FIGHTING WIND AND FIRE. Then the wind quickly veered around to the northwest and blew the smoke and flames across Wilder streets circling tlio tin roofs of half of the row of two story houses on the south side and igniting their cornices and shutters, whllo the heat of the llames cracked the windows and blistered the paint on the front of the fourteen two story brick bouses on the west side of Raggio street. In tho house of Engineer Watson, back of the factory, and In the rearof 412 iiule street, there was a frantic scone when the factory wall toppled over.

His granddaughter was lying sick in bed, but ihe houso seemed doomed and the sick girl was placed on a sireiencr anu norne to a nouse on incKinson street, west of Fourth. After two alarms had been sent out the fire continued to burn fiercely and a special alarm was sent for the new chemical engine of the Sixth and Minor streets station. The heavy rain which was fulling saved much of the adjoining prop erty anu was a migniy ueip io tno nremen in their fight witli the wind aud flames. A sneak thief was in the act of looting one of the endangered houses on Rule street, when ho was caught in tlio act and given to a Seven teen district otlleer. While Seeon District Policeman Harrington was making his wav through a dark ullev near the tire ground, he came across a man acting in a suspicious manner in tho yard of a frieht ened family.

He was William R. Malone, of iijo lore street, auu wns put under arrest. THE FIItE UNDER CONTKOL. The flro was under control shortly after o'clock, but it continued to burn until a late hour last night. The destroyed factory was a five story brick building.

It was 105 feet long on Kngglo street and had an aver age width of 45 feet. The main building was built in 1880 and the two end wings have been erected since then. The first floor wns filled with planing machines and other ma chinery. A cabinet shop was on the second Moor. TDo third lloor was used by cabinetmakers, carvers and finishers.

A Notable Gathering of Fashionable Folks and Costly Equipages A Long Bun in the Rain After a Fine Iireakfast The gentlemen of the Radnor Hunt, which had a roat breakfast, followed by a fox hunt at the kennels, two miles from Bryn Mawr, yesterday, do not go spinning over rough country and fences in pink coats and spurs so much from sanguinary motives ns for recreation, and eugnge in this sport, so popular among American gentlemen a century ago, not so much to shed Reynard's blood ns to stir up their own. It is "live and let live" with them, and if they can get active livers without a dead fox, so much the better.

There arc now four fox hnntiug clubs and of these, the Radnor, with 120 active members nnd many more trying to get in, is the largest. It owns forty threo acres purchased over a year ago and the addition to the club house, in which the breakfast yesterday was given, has Just been built but is not quito finished. Half a cord of wood blazed in the enormous hearth of tho mess room, with a terra cotta of hunting scenes above the rotten stone fire place, and threw such a radiance out over the merry array of red coated huntsmen that the polished wood wainscoting nnd ceiling seemed to mirror a fiery fox chase with a flaming red tail in every angle. the meet. In the early morning, when the meet took place, it was a gray day, such as artists love, and the soft misty atmosphere made everything look hazy and subdued.

The road to tlio kennel, which lies near tbe junction with Darby creek, goes by the trim hedges nud thickets of Whitehall and Wootton, and Mr. Childs' famous country house peered out like some old English manor ou the left. Before 8 o'clock the red coats and dark riding habits were on the road. The country about here is not only English looking, but there is a good deal of vigorous English physiquo among the people, among whom the names and blood of good old English fox hunting ancestors are still preserved in lamines. There was a great yelping of hounds Iu front of the club house and stalwart Jack Maher, the whipper in, was going auout trying to put me aogs in goou behavior, which was nard, for whenever a red coat came galloping up it was the metadors scarf to the bull in the Spanish arena.

After the breakfast, which was tempts ing aud savory, bad been finished and good luck glasses clinked in the mess room, Mr. Rawle, the president, standing on the porch, made a pleasun Rpeecb of welcome, in which, among other things, he thanked the ladles for their interest and said hewasglndso many of them were members and promised that for all who did not care to ride the club was going to get up walking parties and other means of promoting sociability. A BHIG1IT GALAXY OF GUESTS. There was a bright nnd interesting galaxy of guests at tho breakfast. Mrs.

A. J. Cas satt was on horseback in her thick woolen habit to wave encouragement to her handsome boy, "Neddy" Cassatt, whoso pink coat forged to the front of the foremost flyers, and there was a gallant troop of horsewomen, matrons and maids, besides, who followed for a short distance, until the break ncck hunters spurred, perhaps, to needless daring by the fair eves looking on began to bob over tbe fences with a hoop in, rew objects aro more cnarming in a landscape setting, even on a muggy day, thau a group of bright faced girls in the saddle. Bright and stirring as was thcspectaclo of the oft going huntsmen nnd speckled hounds, it would have been incomplete without them. Miss Giiscom and Miss Win sor were among the young ladles who looked cnarming in their habits ana roao well.

There were many other ladles at the breuk fast and lookers on nt the start, some of them relatives of the riders, who mostly came iu conveyances from country houses near by, accompanied by gentlemen. SOME NOTALHE TURNOUTS. Tho finest looking turnout was a "spike" team (two horses abreast and one In front), which contained Mrs. Edward T. Steel, Miss Grant, her Bister, and Miss Steel, and was driven by Mr.

Steel, the handsome president of the Board of Education. They drove all the way from Germantown nnd were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Ellis nt their lodge near by, a rambling stone building on a lil 11, partly hidden by trees. Clement A.

Griscom, of tho American Steamship Company, more ruddy and robust, than ever from the morning drive, had Mrs. Griscom and one of his daughters in his drag closely muffled in rugs and wraps. Two l'hiladelphiabelles and beauties, Miss Bessie Ellison and Miss Donaldson, in slvlish Eng lish ulsters, were iu a high dog cart, driven by Miss Klllson's brother, J. B. Kllison, Jr.

"Jack" Ellison, as his college chums all call hiin. Mrs. Clement B. Williams, whp is a great lover of the conn try aud country sports, looked unusually well In a cape ulster of light tan broadcloth and black and white hut, and wns driven from Germantown by Mr. McCulluin.

0T1IEH PROMINENT ON LOOKERS. Among others who were nt tho breakfast but did not rido in the hunt were Mrs. Charles M. Reed, tho widow of General Reed, of Erie, a lady worth several millions Mrs. James Rawle, Miss Pettlt, Mr.

and Mrs. Winsor nnd Miss Wlusor, Mrs. Geyclin, Mr. Merrell, Dr. and Mrs.

E. W. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Rodman B.Ellison, Mr.

Sharpless, brotherof Harry and Charles Sharpless, Mrs. Sill, Mr. and Mrs. Walbaum, O. Tafnell Starr, Miss Slter and Mr.

Siter, Mr. and Miss Parke, Louis Garrett, Tryon Lewis, Mr. Holland and Mr. Lichteubcrg. Several of these aro members of the club who live iu tho neighborhood.

Quite a number of the most active members were present, but for one reason or another did not ride, among them E'dwin P. Thompson, who is iu mouruine for hiB father; Charlton Yarnnll, whose horse was unfit; Frank Mauran and a number of others. John T. Dohan and Samuel Riddle, owuer of Glen Iliddlo and a tine rider, both of tho RosoTrco Hunt, engaged In the start, but as they had como iill the way from Media and hud to ride back in time for their Thnnksglvlng dinners, they switched oflaiid lei Mr. Fox alono.

FOX AND 1IOUNOS. Fox hunting in this country is not what it is In England and never can be, aud the sport, if it ever becomes national, will have to bo modified to suit the difference in climate and the people. To begin with the foxes arc dlllercnt, and the English hounds have had to be crossed with tho American bred hound to get greater speed, and have been crossed in the process in more ways than one. Tho fox hounds of tho kennels here are uglier In disposition, ns a rule, nnd haven pluckier fox to deal with. Just ns the pugnacious Knglish spnrrow drives off other birds lie English red foxes brought in great numbers by tho early Pennsylvania bunting 'squires, have nearly exterminated ine native a merioau gray tox so that It Is a rarity now to see ono In theso parts while tho red ones aro very abundant.

Tbov have developed a white tug to the end of the bushy red tail that makes them picturesque gamo seen on (he run. Several finely mounted specimens adorn the Radnor Club House. It is a flno pack of hounds of which Hnrnco B.

Tho finest hound in he lot has lost a leg by an accident and hnd to be tied to be kept from following the hunt. RUNNING IN THE RAIN. They started off well yesterday and did their work well, starting a fine fox and after chase of over throe miles running him to cover.

The horses wero non English, nlso, mostof them being only three quarters thor oughbred, as It has been found that tho real English hunters do not do so well hero. Many of the young men who went out In tbo English rig of black high hats, fancy pink coats and lino linen, with nice horse shoe pins, wished they had not done so, for nil hough It was only a mild drizzlowhen they started, nt ton o'clock, it mined heavily later and they were all drenched when they came back. Several had "croppers" nnd wero left behind or enme back bndly used up. A son or A. Riley wns cut by brandies the woods and had to turn back; Frank Hnmuel was I brown early, but got up and eaino In fourth, and Hitrrv Pratt Mckean.

a tine rider with a splendid horse, hnd a una mil. it was a plucky piece or business throughout, to ride three or lour hmim over such country In such a rain with slippery ground. TUB HUNT. Nearly a hundred men, most of them In full pink nnd fairly mounted, started to the bugle after the pack and wore soon out of sight. They rode ovor ton miles In all, quite circuitous and much through woods.

They rodo nenrly five miles before Ihcy started a fox. From Haw Mill HIM they struck into "Tbe Barrens," a wild waste of underwood with clusters of chestnuts and onks, nnd It wns a llttlo beyond there, in YuruiiU's Mill, thnt the hounds discovered the scent and gave cry. Undoubtedly if It bad not been for the unfavorable day they would have routed one In "Tho Unrrons," which Is full or them. He was run to rover after a throo mllo chase, with tho splendid rider, H. J.

Lycett, Willie W. Fotterall, the steeplechase rider, nnd Jack Mnhcr, tho whlpier ln, in front, but by direction the whipper in "railed off" lbs dogs and would not allow a "kill." Among the notable riders wero Mr, Rawle, the Dresidout; a as it The Heavy Team From Massachusetts Kick the Ball Home Twenty Eight Times and Gain Third Flaco In the Inter Collegiate Series. Between 2,000 and 3,000 persons crowded into the University athletic grounds yesterday to witness the foot ball game between Harvard and the University teams. Harvard won the game by a score of 28 to 0, although the University team struKe'cd hard to save being white washed. Harvard gained third place in the inter collegiate series.

KICKING THE BALL. Harvard's Heavv Team Too Much for Pennsylvania. Philndelnhia's vouth and manhood of an athletic turn were out in lorce, and Haver ford and Swarthmore Colleges, even rrinco ton and Columbia, had sent their delegations to unite with Pennsylvania and Cambridge in cheering ttao contestants. All Pennsylvania graduates, who cared an ace for their alma mater's athletic honors, faced the chilly nor' weste that swept across the athletic field, but their patriotism was rewarded by a very easy victory for the visit ing collegians, who rolled up a score of vs, while their opponents failed to win a point. At 10 o'clock referee Alfred Baker, of Princeton, put the ball in mid Held and the teams lined up for the fray.

As Harvard's heavy rush line got into position it was evident that in beefsteak at least the homo players were decidedly wanting. Captaiu Graham, of the Pennsylvania eleven, had won the toss, aud chosen the eastern goal to avail himself of the wind. Harvard had the kick off and Brooks was but a moment in putting the ball in play. Sears started with a run, then another followed which, with fine work by Holden, brought the contest to the twenty five yard line. Harvnrd's weighty forwards at once began to tell and slowly but steadily theeastern goal was approached, Holden doing the most effective work for the wearers of the crimson.

The latter repeatedly butted his way through the opposing rushers and finally made his point by scoring a touch down not far from the boundary line. No goal resulted and Graham had the kick out, which was returned by back Peabody, of the Cambridge eleven. Cobb secured a free kick, and shortly after the ball was called down by Dewey iu Har vard's field. Wood made a clever run for the visitors, cut short by Cobb's brilliant tackle, and Church downed Holden after a telling run. HOI.DEN'S FINE PLAY.

The latter did superb work for the Cam brensians, and, with Remington, "Wood and Sears, made the most notable plays of this period of the game. Ho was tackled by Beck after one of his longest speeds, but with plucky determination he kept at it and within a very few minutes had earned his second touch down. The try at goal was unsuccessful, but Harvard kept the ball. Sears was the next man to distinguish himself, and after ono run, brought to an end by Uraham, ho duplicated his play and a touch down was the result. No goal was kicked, and after the kick out the ball came into Mann's hands.

A free kick was allowed. Tunis, Church nnd Graham here did excellent work, the latter bringing Wood to the ground after he had made oiie of the finest runs of the afternoon. Harding then appeared to carry oft' the visitors' honors. Relieving Holden, whowas somewhat disabled in a hard scrimmage, he bore the brunt of half back piny and a little later scored tho fourth touch down of the inning. The goal followed and then time was called, with the score standing 18 to 0.

During the greater part of the first half tho ball was in Harvard's hands, the home players making the mistake of kicking whenever the prize came to them. Ground was thus lost and Harvard's weight given the greatest advantage. NEW TACTICS FOR PENNSYLVANIA. When play in the second half was begun a umereni policy was adopted. The I'ennsyl vanias held fast to the ball and their oppo nents' scoring was correspondingly small.

A dribble to Mann put play in progress and codd ionowed with a superb run, which carried the contest fifty yards towards Har vard's field. Dudley attempted to trip up the runner and was rewarded very justly by the referee, who disqualified him. His place was taken by Fletcher. Not long after tho very same tactics were adopted by Falkner and he, too, had to leave the game. After good work bjfclteck and Mann, resulting in great gains for Pennsylvania, the ball was iwi in narvnru ami ine uue set in again propitiously for the visitors.

Peabody punted to Graham, who attempted to return the favor. The hostile rushers, however, were toocloseupon himnnd theball.which should nave inKen wing over their heads, struck tho back of one of them nnd rebounded, itemington was quick to avail himself of iue opportunity and a touch down followed. it was very careless play on Captain Graham's part that bad such a disastrous outcome. The goal that Harding kicked brought nc Biuic hi if. nil men icit me neta ana Hulme took his place at half back.

The plucky little irluir the few minutes that followed this change did the prettiest running of th3 afternoon. Receiving the ball four times in quick succession, he each time made his way by clever head hunt wirougu inemiuaieoi tue UK) pound ji.tiviiru metiers una orougnt out over wueuuuig encers irom tue ramer down uearica on iookers. TWENTY EIGHT TO NOTHING. Before time was called Harvard had made her sixth touch down. Peabody kicked the Dan to cooo.wno attempted to return it, but, fniling, lost it to the Cambrldgo rushers.

Holden then had little trouble in making tho touch down, which would havo resulted in a goal but for Downs cleverly putting him self in the way and stopping tho ball. Tho nnnl score was 28 to 0. The game, if not closely contested, was bard fought throughout and was withal ono of the most gentlemanly displays that has been seen on the nthletic grounds. The teams wero in tho best of humor and tho cheers set up at the end by tho opponents were given with a hearty will. The best maying inr Harvard was uone hy Holden.

Harding, Falkner, Wood nnd Remington, Cobb, Almin, Church, Reck, Tunis and iewey were me most prominent workers ior ine nome team. The teams were: IfAUVAIMi l'fnlirw! fn 1 J.ojvilll, Bears, Holden, l'erry, half backs; Dudley and Kletcher, quarter backs; Brooks, Harding, Knlkner, Burgess, Wood, Remington and Alll.lt ItlHIIClB.

The field was In a terrlblo condition and lino plays wereinipossihlo. Tho game was stopped before he full time hnd expired owing to the rain nnd darkness.

The attendance was the largest ever seen on tho Princeton grounds, about six thousand persons being present. Tho spectators came principally from New England, New York. Pennsylvania and Now Jersey. Tho Penn sylvania Railroad Company ran special trains for the accommodation of those who enmo to witness tho game, but it was a lute hour before all the spectators had left Princeton. Tho special trains wero run in sections and wero tilled principally with Princeton nnd Yalo students and graduates.

Pin nokton Rushers, H. Hodgo, Moore, Cowan, George, Irvine, Cook and Wagon liurst; qtiarter bnek, R. Hodge; half backs, Ames and Price; full back, Savage (captain). A long delay in starting tho game was caused by the refusal of Tracy Harris.

'88, of Princeton, to net as referee. Ho refused to fill tho position because of want of experience. The members of tho Yalo tenm positively refused to play unless Mr. Harris was the referee. A flora warm discussion, which lasted two hours, Mr.

Harris consented to tnko the thankless office, and the two teams entered the field amid ringing cheers aud col lego erics from ho spectators, Princeton won tho toss and took the eastern goal, with a stiff wind in her favor.

A REMINISCENCE OF 76. Why Mr.

Tiiden Dceided to Fursne a Conservative Course. Washington, November 25. General John M. Corse, who has been in the city arranging matters preliminary to his taking charge of the Post Office at Boston, to which ho has been recently appointed, while hero met many friends aud talked over old times. Ho served with General Sherman during the war and his close relations with Mr.

Tiiden, subsequently, placed him in possession ot much valuable information concerning the unwritten history of the critical times of the election of 1876 and the extra constitutional settlement of that controversy. The facts presented by General Corse throw some light upon Mr. Tilden's actian at tho time. After the result was announced aud it appeared that ho had a prima facie title to the Presidential ollice, General Corse was one of the confidential agents of Mr. Tiiden to visit Washington and sound the heads of the Republican administration and ascertain what course they would pursue should there not be a formal declaration of tho result by March 4, General Corse met certain Republican Senators and Representatives in an incidental sort of away and was not long in making up his mind that tho Republican managers were determined to see their candidate inaugurated if it were in the power of parliamentary ingenuity, legislation or any other method which circumstances might determine.

The friends of Mr. Tiiden wer equally determined to sustain what they re garded as his indisputable right to the Executive office. From this quarter he turned his attention to the army. Ho felt no hesitation In ap proaching his old friend, General Sherman, Ho asked the General what he would con. sidcr his duty in event of a fniluro to elect a President March 4.

General Sherman promptly replied: "Down to tho 4th of March my duty and my pleasuro would be to obey the orders of the President of the United Slates. After thnt I would have to take things as I found them. As General of the Army it would be my undoubtedduty and loyalty to the people to preserve order pending tho settlement of a selection of a uinei Magistrate and tnc raising oi me in tcrrcg num." This position was In the lino of the viows of the President, who denied the assumption by certain Senators that he should continue in authority until the doubts were re moved or a new election nati. ne naa announced taut his term of office would expire miner tue constitution on Jiurcin. Ait that he would be simply a citizen, but would consider it his duty to assist in main taining oruertiniii tno question oi his successor was constitutionally and legally settled.

This attitude was reirarded bv General Corse as indicating a determination on the part or President Grant aud General Slier man to preserve the status in quo until a legal solution were reached. Therefore any attempt to force the Insinuation of Mr. Til den without some other form of title than a prima facia case but an uncounted vote of tno Moctorai college, as required by tno Constitution, would be antagonized by the organized power of the government. Thero was no doubt what might bo expected in tills quarter. Thero was no intention to force Haves intotheolllce.

Iu facta maioritv of Republicans would have preferred to have tnrown iiimoveriioardontireiy.il possible. without Increasing the complications. Gen eral Corse returned to New York and had a coufereneo with General Hancock, who was in command ot the ueparlmentof tho Atlantic in which the national capital was situated. General Hancock, without hesita tion, lnuicateu tnai in tnc nnseuccoi any legal authority he would consider it bis duty to support tne claims oi Mr. xuuenas lie had the prima facia title.

As soon ns the state of mind of the powers in control was ascertained Mr. Tiiden. General Corse admils, resolved upon a conservative line of action. The inllueuce of the business men and interests was paramount with him. The gratification of his ambition was secondary to the peace and order of his country.

The final solution of the question by Congress was acquiesced in. NO JOBBING CONTRACTORS. "It's Square Ridding Now Tho Plunderers Sent to the Rear, Navy Washington, November 25. Tho absence of all tho old naval Jobbing contractors and their army of retainers was most conspicu ous yesterday, when tho contracts for the new cruisers were awarded. One of the most prominont Republican ship builders of tho country, whoso integrity made him unsuccessful under the Robeson and Chandler management of the Navy, said to your correspondent this morning, "It's square bid ding now thinRS have greatly altered about tho Ivavy Department.

In former times when large naval contracts were to be awarded, favorite contractors were privately posted by inside clerks nnd insldo nnd outside Jobbers were thick ns the lice of Egypt, all of whom had to bo subsi dized by contractors. In many instances, the largest contracts wero given out without competition, and tho contractor, whllo seeming to get lnrgo prices, was robbed at every turn while ho was robbing the government. It is all changed now, and the legltl ninto Americnn shlp bullders like Cramp Sons of your city ana liko the Harlan St Holllngsworth Company of Wilmington have fair chance to prove what our ship builders can do. The ono noticeablo feature of Washington under tho Cleveland administration Is the entlro absence of the professional Jobbers nnd lobbyists nbout the departments. Corruption and Jobbery were In the air of Washington for many years, and business men, as rule, had to pay tribute to professional strikers to get anything done; but it is now well known thnt the way to defeat anything in any of tho Departments, is to have it iu the bands of ono who has the flavor of tho plunderer.

It is honest government nil around nnd honest business has a fair chance at everything tbe government wants dono. Killed by an Injured Father. Jersey City, November 25. Pntrlek II ay den, a well known politician and liquor dealer, was shot this afternoon In his snloon by James Cavanagh, nn oil peddler.

A Foolish Western Hensntlon Washington, Novomber 25. A report ranched Washington to night from tho Wost thnt an attempt bad been made to kill the President to day, but np to 11 o'clock nil was quiet nnd serene at the White House, nnd the first Intelligence of the attempt upon the President's life wns conveyed thero Iu the report from tbe WoaU by being dribbled to Price, of Princeton, who made a short run with it.

Ames, of Princeton, secured it aud made two short runs with It. The Princeton team, which had the heaviest men in it, made several desperate rushes with the ball and forced the Yale men back some distance. Yale's crew fought stubbornly and in turn forced the orange and black team down the field. There were several pretty struggles over the ball, which went forward and backwards over the mud for some time. It was finally downed at Princeton's ten yard line.

Watkinson attempted to kick a goal and failed. Yalo secured the ball later on a fumble by Savage aud Wallace made four points for Yale by making a touch down. It was then ralnimr in torrents and was too dark to watch the movements of the ball, and game was called seventeen minutes before the end of the required three quarters of an hour. Because the full time was not consumed this left the game a draw. At the conclusion of the contest the 8.000 spectators, including a large number of muies, irampea oaca to toe village tnrougn the mud.

I would like to take degrees conferred by medical colleges and doctor them. I would confer them upon the mothers M. maternal doctors. Some say they would not call the old people back if they could but I would risk it.
