CORNELL AN EASY CONQUEST. PENNSYLVANIA BEATS HER BY A. SCORE OF 4 TO The Ovmreigbted anil Outplayed at Evfry Offensive and DclenstTe Play Field a Sheet of Slippery Game Free From Slagging or Brntnlity. The IJay Overhead a Beantlfol One. The Game Watched by 16,000 Peruana.

Philadelphia, Nov. Franklin field this afternoon, amidst the cheers of 16.0 people, Pennsylvania closed the second season of unbroken victories in football by overwhelmingly defeating the Cornell College eleven. From start to finish Cornell was never in the game, and and when time was called they had but two solitary points to place against fortysix for Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania scored seventeen points In the first half and twenty-nine in the second. Cornell scored its two points on a safety touchdown from Broke fumbling the ball'when it was passed to him for a kick.

Throughout the entire game, with the exception of a few moments in the first half, Pennsylvania's onenslve and defensive play was as magnificent an exhibition of fast, scientific football as has ever been seen in this city. Over weighted, outplayed and swept away before the furious onslaughts of the Quakers, the Ithicans fought bravely, but it was in vain that their backs hurled against Pennsylvania's impregnable line, or attempted to skirt the ends, and toward the last it only became a question of time for the red and blue to score touchdown after touchdown. The field was sinrply a sheet of slippery mud from recent rains, and before the game and between the halves it was necessary to cover it almost from end to end with sawdust to enable the players to retain their footing. Although a haru-played game, there Were no objectionable features in the way of slugging or brutality, and but two men were badly enough hurt to have to retire. The umpiring and refereeing of the game was of the highest order, and so fairly did both sides play that not more than three or four times were the officials compelled to penalize either team.

Pennsylvania has defeated every team they have played this season, and as they are the only one of the "Big Four" to do this, they claim they are justly entitled to the championship of the college football world. Overhead the day was a beautiful one and the air was almost balmy. Two immense stands accommodating 6,000 people each rose tier upon tier on cither side of the field, and as the hour of 2 o'clock approached they were a moving mass of people. Upon either end of the field were packed ten deep four thousand men and boys. Pennsylvania had the south stand and before and during the game the enthusiastic adherents of the red and blue cheered and cheered and sang their college war songs to the encouragement of their battling warriors of the gridiron.

Cornell had a section of the north stand and some 30U or 400 followers of the red and white strove to hearten the Ithicans with their cheers. The Cornellians in the stand, however, were lost in the thousands of frantic, yelling Pennsylvanians who surrounded them on all sides. Pennsylvania made it appearance upon the field at 2:10 o'clock and the cheers that greeted them were still splitting the air when the Cornell boys trotted out. The Ithicans ere given nearly as warm a greeting as the home players. Referee Laurie Bliss, Umpire Paul Dashiel and Capts.

Wyekoft and Williams held a short consultation in the center of the field. Williams won the toss and choose the west goal and gave Cornell the ball. The wind was barely strong enough to ruffle the hundreds of little flags that were being waved around the field, and throughout the game nelthei side gained any advantage from this source. Ritchie, for Cornell, kicked off at 2:20 o'clock. Throughout the game Pennsylvania opened up the Cornell line almost at will, and their backs were dotvned before thev could get fairly started.

Against such a game as Pennsylvania put up to-day, however, the greatest team In the country have had desperate work to make headway against them. The Pennsylvanias were sore and dissatisfied against the showing made against Harvard, and they went into the game to-day to do or die. Where every man acquitted himself well it is invidious to single out any one for praise. Minds. Gelbert, Woodruff, Wharton, and Bull all did great work, but again the laurels of the game were carried off by Brooke.

This goat fullback bucked the line like an avalanche and carried the ball for great gains, but as a punter he again stood preeminent. Some of his punts were tremendous, and Pennsylvania constantly gained from ten to thirty yards on the exchange of kick between Brooke and Wyckoff and Richie. When the game was over the crowd surged out into the field and carrying Brooke off of his feet raised him lipon the shoulders of shouting men and bovgf in triumph from the field. For Cornell, Wyckoff fully sustained his reputation as one of the finest quarter-back players. His passing was quick and accurate and he got off his punts in marvellously quick time.

Beacham, Taussig and Lisle- also played finely. The line up was as follows: Pennsylvania Position. Cornell. Gelbert left end Lisle Wagonhurst left tackle Fitch' Woodruff left guard Bull center Schoch Wharton right guard Rodgers Farrar right tackle Dickson right end Taussig Williams quarter back WvckolT Blair left half back Beacham! Minds right half back Cool. and Starliuek.

The Georgia Beaten by a Score of 16 to 6. Atlanta, Nov. Auburn, college team defeated the University of Georgia here to-day at foot ball by a score of 16 to 6. Thirty-five hundred followers pf the Orange and Blue and the Red and Black sat impatiently waiting the start of the game between Auburn and Georgia for nearly two hours to-day. There was plenty of time for pent up enthusiasm to escape and finally the delay became tiresome.

The trouble it seems was regarding the selection of the umpires. The Georgia boys wanted Sexias and Auburn desired Taylor. Finally both Sexias and Taylor were called into the game. Lieut. Heavey was referee.

The betting was Btos. in favor of Georgia. At this there were not many takers. On the line up the advantage seemed to be with Auburn in weight. On the loss Capt.

Shafer Auburn won and took the south goal, with the wind blowing straight across the field. With a snap and vim the game was begun, and, despite the almost perfect Auburn, Georgia quickly had the hall, and was pressing toward a touchdown when a decision by the referee sent the ball over when he seemed to be clearly in the wrong. Mr. Sexias, umpire, was very positive that Lieut. Heavey a decision was not a correct one.

Georgia line was unable to hold the Auburn boys and Shafer, the Auburn full back, broke into the line with marvelous success, always gaining from three to DUKE Cigarettes if- -V- £5T W.DukcSons £3Zy THE AME fVJ RCCIMOR jjgjr DURHAM, NX.

The North Carolina Eleven Shut Out After Long Wrangle. Richmond, Nov. University of Virginia foot hall eleven defeated the eleven of the University of North Carolina here to-day by a score of 6 to 0. The big foot ball park was crowded with spectators to overflowing at 2 the hour for play to begin, but it was half an hour later when the canvasgarbed the arena. The Carolinians ware the first to put In their appearance, and as they rushed out on the gridiron and commenced kicking the ball to and fro, the rooters decorated with blue and white, who were in evidence on all sides, fairly went wild.

The Virginians, led by Capt. Penton, made their appearance shortly after the Tar Heels, and the enthusiasm with which they were greeted was almost unbounded. The large crowd apparently rose en masse, and for several minute) the. atmosphere was filled with WOarse yells. In' which "Could be distinguished a slight mingling of the shriller cheer of the female rooters, who were out in great numbers.

As soon as possible the captains got together and selected the officers of the game. John Poe of Princeton was chosen for referee; J. E. Lloyd of the University College of Medicine (of the city) and Beaumont (of the University of Pennsylvania) were appointed umpires; and Messrs. Baskerville of the University of Carolina and Allen Potts of Richmond were made time keepers.

Capt. Gregory of North Carolina won the toss and chose the west goal. At 2:30 o'clock play was begun. The playing during first half wafs pretty much all against Virginia, the ball being almost constantly in her territory. At one point the umpires awarded a foul against North Carolina, and the ball went to Virginia.

Penton rushed for two yards and Lambert followed with, a similar gain, advancing the leather two yards more. Jones did likewise, graining another yard. He was tackled and lost the yard he gained, going outside the bounds. The umpires disqualified Jackson for slugging and a dispute resulted. Capt.

Penton was loth to lose his man, and contended that right end, Merritt, had been guilty of the same offense charged against Jackson. The umpires decided to rule both men out of the game, and Capt. Penton being satisfied with this decision, substituted Bullitt for Jackson, and Field was put in place of Merritt. Play was resumed and after some playing the ball was snapped back to Lambert, and he kicked it 2(1 yards. Collier of North Carolina, Interfered with him and attempted to make him miss the kick and Umpire Beaumont rushed up and grabbing him by the arm ordered him out of the game, him with having slugged Lambert.

Collier stoutly denied the charge and number of the by-standers, among them the newspaper ipen, asserted that the charge was unjust. Umpire Beaumont declined, however, to move from the stand he had taken and said that Collier must leave the game'. Capt. Gregory declined to allow Collier to leave the game and said that if the umpire did not rescind his action and permit Collier to play he would take his men from the field and stop the game. A number of Carolina players crowded around their captain and besought him to adhere to his decision not to play if Collier was taken out.

and, though he nearly weakened twice, he maintained his contention that his man should remain or that play would be stopped. Several professors from the University of Pennsylvania attempted to bring the disagreement to an amicable end, but Gregory held out, and finally the umpire decided to let Collier remain in the game, if the Carolinians would forfeit the ball to Virginia, and sacrifice fifteen yards. Gregory agreed to this, but Penton declined to play with Collier in the game. He was finally persuaded to accept the compromise, and the game proceeded, after a delay of about twenty minutes, during which time the crowd had encroached from the field, and, monopolized a great portion of the space reserved for the players. All attempts to put them back were futile, and they were left as they were.

When time was called for the first half, the score stood: Virginia, North Carolina. 0. The second half was called at 4:30 just ten minutes after the first half had closed. During the intermission, the field had been cleared of the spectators, and the players had plenty of room, and the spectators on the bleachers and grand stand, had an opportunity or seeing the game. In this half, the Carolinians fought hard, but the Virginians fought the better, finally scoring a touchdown, making a goal and winning by a score of 6 to 0.

The line up was as follows; Virginia. Position. North Carolina. Simms center White. Morris left guard Hurley.

Davis left tackle Wright Jackson' left end Gregory. Weist right guard Collier. Penton right tackle Baird Cocke right end Merritt. Hoxton quarter back Whitaker Jones left half back Stephens. Lang full back Butler Lambert right half back Moore Steele.

Abbeville Nov. reporter of the New York Sun recently stationed himself at the crossing of two "main traveled roads" In Nebraska and interviewed ten of the scores of emigrants who were leaving that state. The tale they told of suffering from blizzards, drought, despoiling winds and cruel winters was pitiable in the extreme. One ceases to wonder that they are deserting such a country, but he does wonder that they do not all flock to this beautiful southland where the winter scarce chills and the sea breeze fans the cheek of summer. When one seeks a reason for the great rush to the west in the last few decades, he soon finds one In the active, alert and aggressive policy of the railroads who have offered every inducement for the immigrant to settle along their line.

They have sent their agents to remote corners of the old world to bring in people. Millions of money have been spent in advertising; beautifully tinted pamphlets and booklets have been written by the ablest of pens painting In the most glowing colors the great attractions of the west. All this has had its legitimate result, and where only a few short years ago was the unbroken prairie, are cities, which are the marvels of the world. Another thing which has prevented many of our northern and western friends irom settling in the south has been the fear of social they would not he cordially 'received here. Politicians for their own selfish ends have flaunted the bloody shirt ad nauseam.

But all this is being rapidly dispelled. A few venturesome spirits crossed the line and were welcomed open arms! and open hearts. Enthusiastically they wrote back to their friends; others came and more followed, until now the stream is swelling to a mighty tide. Perhaps the greatest advertising agency in the south to-day is the new city of Fitzgerald in Irwin county. The uniqueness of this colony movement immediately arrests attention.

Founded by the Boys in Blue in the land of the Boys in Gray, this city is a standing monument that the war is indeed ended, that old animosities are in the deep bosom of tiie ocean buried, and that yankee pluck now combines with southern courage to build up such a country as our continent has never known. And what a golden thread of romance runs through it all. The very spot where Jefferson Davis was captured now forms a part of the colony possessions. This marked the closing scene of one of the greatest dramas, which had for its active participants some of the rarest genuises of modern times. Even the streets of the new city mark the era of good feeling and brotherly love.

Those north of Main street are named for federal offlers, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Logan, Meade and Hooker, ending with the namp of "The cheese-box set on a the Monitor. The streets south of Main are named for southern soldiers, Lee, Johnson, Jackson, Longstreet, Gordon, Bragg and Hill, ending with plucky little the Merrlmac. The city allotments have all been made. Twenty-five hundred people of brains, grit, push and go and many of wealth, are on the ground, clearing land, grading streets, building houses and bringing wild nature into beauty and bloom. Thousands more are coming on and it is estimated that 10,000 people will be here before March 1.

"Will the colony succeed?" is sometimes asked by a timid few. Why, certainly it will succeed. When we think of the pioneers of the west, clearing the forests and building homes a hundred miles from a railroad with every condition against them, except the one only of a fertile soil, and in a few short decades to make a country which is the admiration of the world, what should hinder such men from being successful here, where every condition and all surroundings are in their favor? The whole policy of the south, now so suicidal, be completely changed. The great stream of money which is constantly pouring out wilt be kept at home. Our grain and meat will no more be bought in the west.

California fruits will cease to adorn our shop windows. Boston will send to Georgia for cotton goods, the furniture man will buy from us the manufactured article, instead of the material. We have all the natural resources and all we ask is people to come in and help us develop them. The Grand Army of the Republic colony is a big starter.

Coir, Sole Boeton, V. 8. A. SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK TOGETHER. In his able work, entitled published a few years ago.

Dr. John Gardner of England, predicts that a vegetable agent will yet be found that shall so retard those changes that bring about old age as to prolong human life much beyond its present limit. Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced -by this thought, many eminent physicians have called from time to time upon the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to inquire of them concerning the secrets of medicinal plants, in which these sincere, simple-minded and God-fearing people are known to be wise and skillful beyond all other men. The Shakers willingly told what they had learned, and in return received from their visitors, much valuable information about disease; which they at once made practical use of.

The most important point was that if a genuine and certain remedy could be found for indigestion and dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out of it, a long step would be taken In the right direction. Old age, said these physicians, begins in a failure of the digestion, and so do most diseases at any and all periods of life. The result of these consultations was the discovery by the Shakers of the desired specific, made wholly from herbs, and now known as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its action is magical and worthy of Its origin. Where there is distress after eating, heart-burn, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth, biliousness, weakness and weariness, cold hands and feet, aversion to food, nervousness, or any other symptom of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove its curative virtues.

Behind it is the reputation of a people who have never defrauded or deceived their fellow men. In order to test whether this remedy is adapted to your case, at practically no cost, you may procure a trial bottle for ten cents of almost any druggist. TOUGH ON THE TALENT. Only One Favorite Won a Race at Yesterday. Baltimore, Nov.

Not until the last race did a first choice catch the eye first, and then the decision was hissed by a great number. Eclipse was the odds-on favorite for the concluding event and had the race won in the stretch. As Simms pulled the favorite up nearing the wire, Mahon on Phoebus came with a rush and to many it appeared that Phoebus won by a.

neck. The decision saved "Mike" Dwyer many thousands which he had bet on Eclipse. The longest shot of the day was James Premier. He had hut sixty-seven pounds up and beat Levina, Ina and others. The other favorites were bowled over by second and third choices.

The Uglrlhariira lo Recover a Relic of War One of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry's war flags has been found in a box of old papers in Cincinnati, and will be returned to the company as soon as it3 Identification is complete. The flag is now In the possession of Mr. B. F. Clark of Rome.

Ga. In a letter to the Morning News Mr. Clark gives a description of the flag and how it was found. He says the flag Is of blue silk feet. On one side is inscribed the legend, 1..

Sept. 28, surrounded with a wreath of cotton bolls, blooms and leaves. On the reverse side is the coat of arms of the state of Georgia, under a half circle of eleven stars. I'nderneath these words are printed: "Captured at Savannah, by the 2d 20th A. Dec.

21. 1864." Capt. R. T. Coverdale was formerly army quartermaster on Gen.

Sherman's staff and master of transportation while in Savannah. When the military left the state, this flag was packed by someone In a box of his papers, and shipped to his home in Cincinnati, where it has remained without his knowledge, until a few days ago, when he found it. Capt Coverdale came to Rome this week and turned the flag over to me, with the request that I return it to the proper owners. This pleasure he would have taken himself years ago, if he had known of its existence or where to send it. When shown me, I at once decided it belonged either to the O.

I. of Augusta or the O. L. I. of Savannah.

Capt. Coverdale is now an old man, and an allwool democrat, and believes in the preservation of these mementos of the past. 1 will take pleasure in forwarding it to whoever is properly authorized." LOOKED MUCH LIKE TROUBLE. A Thanksgiving Arrest That Recalled the Vtinincrair Riot. There came near being a small-sized riot at the corner of South Broad and East Broad streets yesterday afternoon, between 4 and 5 Policeman Kay, who was off duty, was called upon to arrest Dick Palmer, a negro, who was cursing in a loud and boisterous manner.

He did so, and carried him to the nearest and sent in a call for the wagon. While waiting at the box with the prisoner a crowd of drunken negroes gathered around, cursing and threatening the officer. Encouraged by their presence, Palmer drew a pistol, and shoving It into Fay's face, snapped it twice. Fortunately for the officer, the pistol did not explode. Palmer then managed to break away from the officer, and ran in.

an easterly direction. Policeman Crosby had arrived with the patrol wagon by this time and joined Fay in his chase of the fleeing negro. Palmer ran down past the Tybee depot, through the fields east of the city and across the canal Into the Gullmartin field, where he was caught by Crosby, who is something of a sprinter himself. When Palmer was brought back to the box the crowd of negroes again gathered around. Sergt.

Baughn and Policeman Mendel, both of whom were off duty, arrived In time to help quiet the crowd. Besides Palmer, Barrett Morel, Mary Nobold, James Jenkins and James Edwards were arrested and carried to the barracks where they were locked up. THANKSGIVING AT THE FAIR.
