AGAIN WE LOSE Hat it was a First Rate Game. A very small attendance was out. yesterday to witness the Y. M. C.

Bioomsburg State Normal School foot ball game and they witnessed one of the closest games played here this season. Tho Bioomsburg men were a very gentlemanly lot of men and played a stiff snappy game from mart to finish. The Aldinger brothers, Albert K. and Harry, are members of this team and itheir work yesterday was gilt edge. Captain llockmaji lost the toss and tt.oomaburg chose to defend the west goal.

Manifold kicked off for 35 yards to Johnson; Smythers got 3 yards and Burns 5. Then they went to pounding the tackles for very material gains. On the 20 yard line Burns fumbled, but saved the ball. A. Aldinger got 6 yards.

Then a feint was made at centre, both teams plied up and H. Aldinger skirted lelt end for 15 yards and a touchdown, and York had fallen a victim to the same old quarter back trick which Sam McCall has worked so often for good gains. Although the goal was an easy one, H. Aldinger misled it and the score was S. The ball went to Smythers, who got 35 yards, A.

Aldinger got 20 yards and was finely stopped by Leber. Burns fumbled and York got the ball. Leber got 3 yards and Manifold 5. Ten yards were given York for off side piay. York's backs got 10 yards and the ball was finally goJten on Bloonisburg's 10 yard line.

Here tney braced up and the ball was lost by York on downs. Koctcamp stopped -the next play without gain. Then on a fluke A. Aldinger got round right end for a 90 yard line and a touchdown, from which II. Aldinger kicked a goal.

The kick off went to Smythers. Three attempts failed to irain and 1 i. Aldinger kicked to liartzier, who sot back 20 yards, Manifold got through, left tackle for 25 yards, buft Umpire Small's whistle had sounded and but 15 yards was allowed. Leber got 3 yards and then Manifold got by Hockman for a 63 yard run, being thrown within 3 yards of the goal by Bray. Har'tzler only got a yard, but Leber went over for a touchdown.

The goal was a very difficult one and the itriaJ suit wide. Hartzler got the kick off, which was returned 25 yards and the half ended on York's 25 yard line. In the second half the kick off went 'to Har'tzler, who made a pretlty return of 3) yards; Manifold got 5 yards, Leber added 8 and York was given 19 yards for off side play. Manifold kicked to Burns. Short, hard rushes took the ball to York's Senator Penrose and John Wanamker.

In a speech a few weeks ago Senator Penrose Intimated that John. Wanamaker prior to the failure of the Keystone bank had knowledge of an over issue of the bank's stock and knowledge of a demand made by President Marsh on City Treasurer Bardsley for an additional deposit of city funds. He (Penrose) said it was to the interest of Wanamaker that Marsh sluould not come back to Philadelphia, The Senator said he had been in communication with Marsh and that the. latter would probablj' soon come back and tell all he knew about the looting of the bank. Mr.

Wanamaker has been vigorously opposing the Republican State ticket and especially aiming to defeat the re-election of Senator Quay to the United States Senate. On October 14, a few nights after the speech of Senator Penrose, accusing Wanamaker of having inside knowledge of the Keystone bank affairs, the latter delivered a speech at the Academy of Music, He denied thtr truth of Senator Penrose's statements and called upon him to hasten the return of Marsh, if the Senator in any way could so. He said he would like the truth to be told about the Keystone bank matters, and said none coidd clear up the affair better than Marsh himself. In the course of hi9 upeech he said: 'There is nothing that will please me so much as Mr. Marsh's return, and I welcome the opening again of every Look and paper of the bank to public gaze, even as I aid years ago.

If my foe will bring this man, doubtless more Binned ajrain than sinning, into court, ami he will tell the truth I will use my utmost endeavor in securing all the leniemcy nonsible in his sentence and after he haa finished it I will aid him In re-establishing himself and family in l'ife. 1 will publish this to the world, hoping he will Bee it. wherever he is, ami I add to it that I have friends who will put in the hands of Quay, Penrose and Andrews whatever -money is needed to pay expenses of Marsh's return, as they seem to know where he is. One of them claims to have been in recent correspondence with hicn. If the prxr man.

nlio can -yet redeem his life, who must have been ciazed when he ran away (poor Hopkins unwisely killed himself' under similar circumstances) will send me word where he is as soon us these words bear him the message of these dastardly a-sKaultn upon -tne, I will come to him in person in-any-part of he world and ucoompany him back." Wlien Marnh was asked today what induced him to return, he answered: "Mr. Wanamaker' speech at the Academy of Music. I read it it. the newspapers. Yes, it certainly did cause me to come back.

I -consummated a desire that had been in my mind for a long time. The desire to protect my children, and the thought that my return would revive a state of affairs that would bo a wandal and most painful to them is the only thing that kept me. away. Recent developments convinced me tha- the affairs of tho bank had been so thoroughly ventilated thai my coming home would add very little to the publicity of the, present tstate of. affairs.

I then and there decided once for all that I would end on intolerable existeuce and here I am." United States District Attorney Beck, when questioned as to what previous knowledge he had that Mr. Marsh would return, said: "I had no previous knowledge on the subject until within a few hours of his surrender, and Mr. Marsh has returned witihout any condition. promise of understanding whatever fi'om the government. Ho became a fugitive at the time Mr.

Read was United States 15 yard line, where H. Aldinger tried a place kick for a goal from the field, but failed. The kick off from the 23 yard line went to Barns, who s.ipped and fell, then tried a pass to A. Aldinger, but the pass was forward and the ball was York's in mid-ueld. Here the boys seemed to wake up and rushes by the backs gained the necessary 5 yards, and Bioomsburg persisted in playing off side and 10 yards were three 'limes given York.

Finally on the 10 yard Hue lianuler was called no go through centre. Both teams piled up, but Hartzler kept his feet and dodging and squirming, he got free of the ruck and was away for the sucond icouchdown. The gual was an easy one, but unfor'iu-natfciy ilartzlvr's kick fell short aud the score was 11-10, where it remained. The ball was York's nearly all the rest of the halt and they made some good gains, but darkness prevented any hopes of more scoring. For York Hartzler and Jacobs played excellent games, and by their fine tack ling stopped many plays.

A. Aldinger and Bray did the best work for the visit ors. The Normal team is a good one and have fine team work, but have a ten dency to off side play thai cost them many yards yesterday. The game was cean and free from acci dent, and the Bioomsburg iteam are a most gentlemanly get of players. The line up was; 1.

Marsh admitted bis identity, but made no Ktatement to the district attorney haul was asked no questions, THE KEYSTONE BANK. The closiing of the doors of the Keystone Hank on March 20, 1891, caused a profound sensation. A run had been made on the bank a few nvontba prior to that date, but the crisis was tided over and the public was taken by surprise when the fuilure became known. Subsequent investigation showed that the bank had practically been looted and that there was little loft for depositors and other creditors.

City Treasurer Jno. Hardaley had loaned to the bank 'several hundred thousand dollars of tho city funds and on these loans he had been drawing interest for his Individ5 ual profit, ltardsley was arrested and his trial resulted in a sentence of fifteen years' imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary, several years of which he served. He was finally granted a pardon by the State Board of Pardons.

He said he often lontretl to come back to Philadelphia, but was deterred through a desire to protect his children from Kcnndal. He felt that to return wouki revive a state of utTairs that would be a scandal to his family. Mrs.

Marsh, by the. way, obtained a divorce from the fucitive about a year ago on the ground of desertion, she making affi davit that she hao recived no word from her husband since the day of his a bsence. EFFECT OF HIS REAPPEARANCE The news of Marsh's return, when it became generally known late in the day, became almost tthe sole topic of conversation on the 6treet, at the hotels and clubs, and in fact, in all cirrlee.

It is believed that neither of them will accept this obvious challenge. But should they do so. Great Britain can never be more prepared than now, and especially in view t. the poaslble arrangement of an American understanding and in view of the fact that Ithe Marquis of Salisbury's government has the support of ail the political parties in Great Britain.

In the report of the summing up of the work of the Union Lutheran church in yesterday's Dally there was an error in the amount of contributions during Rev. Dr. M. J. Alleman's administration.

Instead of "$12,500.00 for other objects," it should have read $2,500.00, making a total of Jo. 112.23, instead of J13.U2.23. The erroi was caused by one of the dollar mark strokes standing close to the figure 2 in the $2,500.00. The Revival Chorus, of Trinity United Evangelical church, under the direction of Geo. V.

PROPOSITION. That is What is Expected frcm Spaniards. Washington, Nov. 3. By way of preparation for what may happen at the meeting of the peace commissioners in Paris tomorrow it may be said that the officials here have no idea that Ithe Spanish reply will be an unconditioal acceptance of our last proposition relating to the acquisition of the Philippines.

On the other hand they do not expect an equivocal rejection. What Is likely to occur is that tho Spanish commissioners will come in with a counter proposition, the basis of which will be probably a considerable increase in the sum of money to. be paid 'to the Spanish government for the Philippines. This will open a way to negotiations on that subject, and. Inasmuch as the commissioners spent about six weeks considering the sections of the protocol dealing with Cuba and Porto Rico it is reasonable to believe that at least a.

fe days may be properly allowed for the discussion of the Philippines, In short ft may be said that the officials here not expect a final breach of relations between the commissioners to occur notwithstanding the comments of unfriendly European newspapers in that line.

Wm. A. Stone, the Republican candidate for Governor, tonight addressed three largely attended meetings in the lower section 01 thlB city, after which he boarded a train for Norristown where be sioke at anoUier Republican mass meeting. At each of the meetings in Philadelphia Mr. Stone spoke but a few minutes and confined his rental ks entirely to the effect a Democratic victory hi the gubernatorial election might have upon Republican success in the coming Presidential campaign.

Mr. Stone referred particularly to a prophecy made by James G. Blaine In 1890 when the distinguished statesman announced that if Pennsylvania elected a Democratic Governor that year tt meant a Democratic administration to follow. The truth of this, Mr. Stone said, was shown in Cleveland's election in 1SS2, following Robert E.

Paulson's victory In 1890. Today is Pension Day- The aldermen, justices of the peace and notaries public will be busy to day fixing up pension papers of the oid soldiers aud sailors of the late war. It has been a general practice heretofore to fix up the papers on the rd instead of the 4 th of the month, which is contrary to the. law. The presence and warning of a detective of the pension department has broken up the practice of taking the acknowledgements of the pensioners the day previous.

At the Opera A large audience greeted the Bur-rill Comedy Company at the opera house last evening. The play was the great drama, "The Octoroon," and was well presented and in many instances the enthusiasm of the audience was uncontrollable. The specialties, iwhieh were interspersed throughout the play, were of the most eutertaining character. This company is the best repertoire company which has been tiere this season, and the liberal iatronage accorded them is well deserved. The bill for the matinee this afternoon is "True as Steel," and this evening the company will present "Rip Van Winkle." A CLOSE CALL.

Wayne, It appears, was out making a night of it when about 2 o'clock yesterday morning he ran up against the Chief. His first demand was for a chew of tobacco. The Chief very politely told him did not use the, weed.

Wayne then made a. demand for the Chiefs mon ey and he gat it right between the eyes. Wavne droDted. but in an instant was on his feet again and then came a tussle, the outcome of which proved that the Chief was the better of the two men.
