Chicago, November 4.

A disgraceful scene occurred in the Coo net 1 chamber to-day when the Aldermen met to elect a successor to Carter II. Harrison. Rivalry for the chairmanship was so intenso that ft number of fights begun in the Council chamber almost immediately after the session opened. TheConncills almost equally divided politically, the Republicans having a slight majority. Added to this, there has bcon ft fierce factional quarrel among the Republicans, the followers of Alderman George B.

Swift, who boat Alderman Martin It. Madden for the Republican Mayoralty nomination, being accused by the Madden men of indecent haste to force Swift into otlice. The control of the administration patron-ago and prestige in the coming election has added fuol to the fire. A large number of Judges are to bo elected and extraordinary interest attaches to the result, owing to the contest being made by Governor Altgeld's friends against Judge Gary, who presided at the trial of the Hay market Anarchists. THE ROW BEGINS.

Alderman Mt-Gillcn (Democrat) and Alderman Hepburn (Republican) wero nominated for chairman of to-day's meeting of the Council, and at the call of the roll the clerk announced that McGillen was elected. He rushed to the Speaker's chair and seized the gavel. Bedlam followed. Among the shouts Hepburn, who is an adherent of the Madden Republican faction, mounted tho Speaker's chair, and the clerk attempted to throw him out. Both Aldermen claimed the election, and each called for the reading of different resolutions.

Hepburn, tho Republican, Insisted that ft resolution by Madden be heard and the latter began to read while the clerk started to read a Democratic resolution. Madden handed his resolution to Hepburn and the clerk jumped upon Hepburn, seized the resolution and tore it to shreds. In an instant Alderman Swift, tho Republican candidate for Mayor, had run to the Speaker's desk, leaped over the rail and alighted on Clerk Neu-mcster'sbaek. The Democrats rushed to the front. Alderman Carey threw oil' his coat and leaped at Hepburn's throat.

Both sides ran to the aid of their men. "Police!" "Police!" was the call. Officers ran in and tried to eject Hepburn. They also grappled with Carey and made him put on his coat. "For God's sake, act like men!" shouted Alderman Campbell from his desk.

TRIED TO MAKE PEACE. Alderman Swift, Republican, rushed to the Speaker's desk and shook hands with Alderman McGillen, Democrat. Police Inspector Ross stood behind them. Take your seats," shouted Alderman McGillen. "One at a timo.

The chair will recognize you in turn." "I demand to be heard," said Alderman Hepburn. Uproar followed. Excited cries rang from every part of the chamher. The police were kept busy stopping scuttles. Finally Alderman Swift secured the floor.

"I recognize you as chairman," he said, addressing McGillen. I ask my friends to do so. I will put it to a vote." "No," "No," "No vote," went up the cries. I am chairman." answered McGillen. I am a man not addicted to unfairness.

I will treat you right." The meeting quieted down for a moment and Alderman Madden presented a resolution providing for the selection by to-day's session of a temporary Mayor. Alderman Tripp had introduced a similar resolution and in the attempted discussion which followed another disgraceful scene of disorder ensued. POLICE STOP THE FIGHTING. The police were called upon to restore order and the howling Aldermen were forced to take their seats. Alderman Tripps resolution was finally passed and Swift placed in nomination by the Republicans, while Mc- Gillin was nominated by the Democrats for Mayor pro tcm.

Tho balloting resulted in 34 for Swift, 33 for McGillen and 1 blank, and the chair ruled "No election." The excitement in the corridors outside the Council chamber was intense during the row. Special details of officors were called and with difficulty handled the crowd, which wildly surged back and forth in an endeavor to gain an entrance to the meeting. The ruling was denounced In a bitter speech by Alderman Campbell as Illegal and revolutionary, and when a second ballot was ordered the Republican Aldermen arose in a body and marched out of the Council chamber. The police tied to stop them on orders from Chairman McGillen, but as the Aldermen showed fight, Inspector Ross throw open nie uuuib aim perm i Lieu tuoir peaueiui Qe- parture. REPUBLICANS TAKE COUNCIL.

Then they gathered in the hall for confer ence. They were advised by Ex -Corporation Counsel Miller that Alderman Swift had been legally elected Mayor pro tem. by a plurality vote over McGillen and that he was entitled to the office. Chairman McGillen, balked in his attempt to imprison the Republican Aldermen, ordered a secoud ballot to be taken, but re membering suddenly that there was not a quorum present, he ordered the Council ad journed till Monday at 10 A. M.

Before the balloting for Mayor oro tem. was begun a resolution was unanimously adopted declaring the office of Mayor vacant and directing the city clerk to call a special election to be held on the third Tuesday in jsovemuer. This was a partial triumph for the Madden Republicans, but the chairman of the Council goes to the Democrats, who, as a result of the bwift Kepubiicans' help, to-day are in alliance with Swift and lie may ultimately tri-nmph. It was rumored in the Council chamber that Alderman Swift has taken the oath of office, but no one seemed to know who administered it. Alderman Swift was seen this afternoon and denied that he had taken the oath of omce.

He admitted, that his bond, $10,000, aaa oeen eignea. Passed Counterfeit Coin. Wilmington, November 4. The police today arrested Stanislaus Bolnlskl, a Pole, charged with passing counterfeit coin on Homer 8. Allen, a storekeeper at Eleventh street and Pullman Place.

Tne Kmbattled Rnshcrs Slip and Slop Abont on tbe Sodden Tnrf and Can not Snow Tbelr Finest Work Tbe Italn Conies Down on Pretty Girls and Old Collrge Graduates Pennsylvania Lost for Want of Better Ova Used OfHener. Princeton, 4. iiuvcrsiiy or t'ennKyivanla, O. It was all done In the first fifteen minutes.

Princeton won the toss, chose the ball. started off from the east goal with the Cor nell flying wedge, which gained twenty yards, and seemed driving fast down tho right side line when the ball was fumbled and Simmons fell on it. Then Pennsylvania put her wedges, both mass and revolving, into play, and the ball was back across tho middle of the field when Princeton stopped tbe advance. -What next? A fumble, an exchange of puts, ground lost on fierce assaults on Princeton's centre, and there was a pass to Knipe back from the fifteen-yard line. Big Wheeler broke through, and blocked the kick, and Princoton was only three yards from the line.

A smash at left guard and she was through. King missed the goal. Princeton had started the scoring. Then every man about that field said: "With the wet grounds, a heavy ball and backs on both sides that are known to fumblo wo shall see a kicking game throughout and a heavy scoring game. Now it's Pennsylvania's turn.

Watch her go down the field." Vain error. Absurd delusion. From that time on until the end not another point was scored, and the greater part of the time the ball did not cross the thirty-yard lines. It was smash, smash at the line, the hacks thundering heavily through the marsh underfoot, to find themselves rolling under a desperate mass of squirming rushers; it was away for the right end or the left end, the interference breaking up of its own momentum on the perilous foothold, and a line man or full-back darting through to carry down the runner in a smearing, slithering tackle which sent the mud and water high and from which the players rose begrimed as though they had been fighting the flood on a Holland dyke or a Mississippi levee; it was punt hish or punt low, the ball soaring down the field and falling into a nest of mud-beplnntcred wild Indians who jumped at each other's midrl-vajwl loins, slammed themselves down on the ball, or made futile efforts to start for a run to find their soaring ambition cut short as usual in the deep end of a six-inch puddle it was scuttle and heave and fret and swear and vainly strive toward tho goal posts which Jupiter Pluvius and the clerk of the weather had sternly decreed that day should be virgin. When the huge mass fell down over a eoutre play the reek and steam arose to heaven.

Men jumped upand wiped the rain and perspiration oil' their brows and got into the line panting.dripping raw infuriate, utterly darned regardless. It was a great game. It was magnificent. It wasn't scientific foot-ball, for it couldn't he, but it was an open game, full of go and change and lifo, not to say wickedness, and it pleased the spectators all the better. Until it began to be evident that work as they might neither side could score again, tho spectators who braved the rain and the wind and the raw, cold edgo of the prevailing unpleasantness from the north went through as many moments of delicious agony as have been supplied by any foot-ball game within memory.

It was a great game of seesaw, and when it was all over there wasn't any doubt why Pennsylvania had failed to catch up and pass thatone lone touch-down that in Jersey minds was the antidote for Camp's last year. WHY PENNSYLVANIA LOST. Pennsylvania lost, or rather did not score, because she did not play more of a kicking game. It was a mistake not to play Brooke iu tbe first place. And even after he came on, time and good opportunity were wasted in attempting centre plays which invariably failed to gain.

Pennsylvania kept her end up as sho did on accouut of two things, Brooke's kicking ana usgood dodging, and with tho ground all against the other Pennsylvania backs the want of generalship on the part of the home team was glariirgly apparent. That Princeton deserved her win is unquestionable, tor though her touch-down was not entirely earned, being tho result more of her opponent's fault than her own strategy and strength, still she showed the better team work. Wanting a lull-bat-k to compare with Knipe, let aloue Brooke lor Knipe is a line-bucker, nut a full-back she yet made a good bold stand against Pennsylvania's overwhelming superiority in this regard, and her own strength in the line, in centre attacks and in delense, was most effectively applied. And Princeton fought harder than Pennsylvania, no doubt about it. Her tackling was not only stronger and better distributed, but surer.

Her backs dragged themselves along the slimy ground with the red and blue tacklers hanging to them when the Pennsylvania backs could not squirm forward an inch after being thrown. Her line worked together magnificently, her ends were like lightning down tho field, her quarter-back played as if he had the force and the cunning of ten and her full-back, with all odds against him, did not for a moment lose heart, partly, indeed, because he was so splendidly protected. And most of all, sho found Pennsylvania's weak point and played hard at that. Pennsylvania, on the other band, weakened in the line by Woodruffs disqualification, was utterly unable to make headway on the centro and mass plays she so incessantly tried, her interference was simply nil, and her line buckers found no holes made for them to go through, but a stone wall that would not he persuaded. Plunge as he might, Knipe could not gain more than two or three meagre yards at the best of times, and even at those best of times Wheeler, Taylor, Lea or Holly had broken through before ho reached the line.

And yet, though outplayed at every point save one, Pennsylvania kept Princeton from scoring after the first fatal fifteen minutes, and her pnuting being aided by penalties for Princeton's Aside play, she made the fight in Princeton's territory during the entire first half, and for a good half of the second. With the verdict so close and the game so stubbornly fought, it seemed a pity that Princeton was not made to put forth even sterner efforts by working the full-back as he might have been worked. VERY HEAVY WEATHER. When morning broke it seemed almost impossible that the game could be played at all, so fiercely did the storm rage, but by 11 o'clock the rain had held off and the streets were already full of foot-ball cranks. It was generally recognized as better weather for Contlnned mm Elgbtb Page, THIEVES IN JACKSON PARK Costly Exhibits Stolen Despite the Vigilance of Guards.

World's Fair Grounds, November 4. Expert thieves are at work in Jackson Park, and are getting away with some costly exhibits, in spite of the guards, secret service officers and official regulation. The biggest theft since the Fair closed occurred yesterday in the Manufactures Building. A fancy inlaid upright piano, valued at $1,500, which had been packed ready for removal, was taken out of the exhibitors' pavilion under the noses of the guards by the thieves, who presented a forged permit to take it out.

Fine Candles and Cheeelatee for Whole- MS. OeorxvMlUer A Pensioner Who Was Relieved of His Quarterly Stipend, About 9 o'clock last night Patrolman Dean, of the Secoud police district, found a man in an unconscious condition lying in the entrance of a narrow alley on Lombard street, above Front. While on his way to the Pennsylvania Hospital he partially regained his senses and in a rambling way gave an account of his condition. He gave his name as Jamos McCauley, 58 years old, of Beach and Laurel streets. He is a veteran of tho late war and says that he receives a pension of $30 per month.

After drawing his quarterly stipend yesterday he started out to see the sights and wound up at 113 Lombard street, a house known to the police of that neighborhood as "The Bum's Hang-up." While there he claims the hangers-on forced him to partake of copious libations which flavored very strongly of drugs. He remembers nothing more beyond having a fnlnt idea of his friends amusing themselves by playfully smashing empty beer bottles on his head. Besides having his face battered almost out of all human semblance McCauley says he was relieved of a valuahle gold watch and chain, besides $100 in money. The police are not inclined to give much credence to the robbery story, although they do not entirely disbelieve it. They will look up the case to-day.

DRUGGIST ACKER'S DEATH The Coroner Undecided as to Whether it Was a Suicide or Not. The death of Charles W. Acker, who was found unconscious on the floor of his drug store at Green lane and York pike, on Friday night, is being investigated by the Coroner. While there is no direct evidence indicating that Acker committed suicide, yet the Coroner has decided that the circumstance surrounding the case justify a post-mortom examination, which will be held this morning by Dr. Sidebotham.

So far as' is known Acker had no cause to end his life. His family relations were pleasant and his financial aflairs were in good condition, for Friday afternoon he was in good spirits and attended to his business in the drug store. Shortly after 5 o'clock his assistant wont to relieve him and found him lying unconscious on the floor. A physician was immediately summoned, but nothing that he could do was effective. Mr.

Acker died, within a few hours. The fact that he had been drinking of late gave rise to the rumor that he had committed suicide. No bottle was found to indicate that he had swallowed poison, however, and until the examination nothing can be positively known. FOUR HUNDRED CONFIRMED.

The Inhabitants of the Fever-Stricken Town Losing Hope. Brunswick, November 4, Fourteen new cases of yellow fever were reported to-day, six of whom were whites. The ratio of mortality among the whites is 13.S and among the blacks 2.5, a total of 0.7, Mongolian 1. There are still no indications of frost and the infection, fed by the balmy atmosphere of the day and misty fog by night, continues its onward course. With nerves strained to their utmost for weeks past and systems undermined by the constant drain upon their resources, tho whites of all classes are now becoming easy victims.

There is nothing encouraging to base hope upon and despair is written in the faces of all. The physicians, worn out by their days and nights of weary watching at the bedsides of their patients, the ministers tired from their continual exertions and the gen eral masses troubled over what may be in store for them have lost tho cheerfulness so plainly assumed some weeks ago. Nothing can be done for Brunswick now by those not within her limits. The outside public have done their duty. Those hero wnit the end.

When it will come nono can tell, but hopes revived by the recent cool weather have been dashed to pieces by the unfavorable change. Sir Andrew Clarice Sink London, November 4.
