Asan exhibition of good foot bail, however, the | game could not be designated asa signal success. A contest of strength between a locomotive anda pony would be as equal.

Mr. Joseph W.

Buckey is also away from his office much of the time on account of bad health, and cases that should be tried before either of the two are now sent to Washington. THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. Owing to the absence of so many of the mem- bers of the first subdivision of Associated Char- ities the annual eleetion of officers did not take place at the Inst meeting, but was postponed until the first Friday in December at 4 p.m. A RELIC OF ONE OF THE FATHERS. An antique razor, with rusty blade and brokén back, and bearing on an inlaid silver plate the name “J. Threlkeld,” came to light a few days ago and is now in the possession of Mr. Charles Trannell. The evident owner of this ancient “‘scrape,” who was one of the fathers of Georgetown, owned the tract west of Fayette street, now known on the maps ns Threlkeld’s addition. The razor is of English menufsctare, and wae turned out by Clark & FUNERAL OF MRS. MARY MILLER. Yesterday afternoon the funeral of Mrs. Mary Miller, who died of paralysis, took place from her late home, 1625 High street, at Oak Hili, where the body will be finally interred. A vault yer- terday received the remains. Owing to the low condition of Mr. Maller, husband of the de- | ceased, only one member of the family could leave his side to attend the funeral.

McCullough and Mrs, McCul- lough have returned from the meetings of the Maryland Baptist Union and froma visit to friends at Baltimo: Ran Inte the Local. The Baltimore express train which left this o'clock ran into the rear end of the local way train at Beltsville, about nine miles from this city. No one was hurt, but the baggage car of the local was demolished and the engine of ‘the express badly crippled. It is difficult to piace ths responelbity for the accident. ‘Ths ex. train bad orders to pass the local » short Gistance the other side of Beltsville. - Both were running on the same track. At Belteville the local train wus delayed, and when it started the express was close behind. Engineer Stevens of the express train enw the rear ear of the Hensley led the singing and Miss Mamie | Jocal as bis train rounded a curve and instantly | applied the air brakes. The train was going at cube rapid rate that before it could be checked it had crashed into the rear end of the local. ‘The accident causeda delay of two hours.

Albert Stannard’s pool room, on 16th street northwest near M street, was raided Saturday night and games of cards and “craps” were in operation. Policemen Bell and O'Brien swore out the warrant and bad charge of the raiding party, and they took possession of the gambling paraphernalia and made, several arrests. The appearance of the officers caused a stampede among the players, who attempted to get through the windows and every available open- ing. Stannard was arrested and charged with setting up a gaming table. - The case was called sel demanded « jury trial. until tomorrow. There are twenty-six wit- nesses for the goverment. Later in the day Stannard and, plead guilty. Lawyer Sillers for the defendant aaked that the court impose a fine in the case, but the court said that gambling business was not to be lieensed in that way. A sentence of ten days in jail and a fine of $50 was imposed. | psi teatl AT THE ER FRONT. ARRIVED. Schooner Shining Light, Georgetown, D. C., Capt.

THE NEW YORK NAVY YARD. PROPOSITION FOR A LARGE BASIN, 80 THAT INTEREST AMONG OFFICERS IN TUE WEST POINT-ASSAPOLIS FOOT BALL MATCH. Corcespondence of The Evening Stor. - Navy Yar, New Youx, Nov. 5, 1892. | Werk is going on as usual on the building | ships, some of the smoke pipe armor of the | Terror and Puritan having been recently re- ceived, and the work of shifting the strats for | the shafting of the Maine is nearing comple- |tion. The battle ship Maine bas occu- | pied the stone dock tor a long time, jand all vemels to be docked must occupy the Simpson wooden dock, where the Italian crniser Bausan is having her bottom scraped and painted. The need of more dock- ing facilities is keenly felt, and the work on « new wooden dock in the eastern part of the yard will soon begin. There isa great ad- vantage in completing building vessels in a dock where all parts of the hull are accessible, and it has been advocated to build a large basin where the an ree e eee from keel to truck and the only I woul be to flood the basin, which would do away with ail thé probable accidents in launching vessels by the present method, and wouki give the great odtentnge of Givvlng then to oun onaneven keel, whereas now they must be built on an incline to give them an impetus in launching. The training ship Portemouth is undergoing repairs prior fo her winter cruise in the West Indies. The Miantonomoh, Philadelphia and Atlanta are also receiving some repairs. The latter ship will be ready for sea by the middlo of the month, when it is probable she will sail south for the winter. The Chicago is expected in from St. , Where she is now, and the Bennington is soon to return from Europe for extensive repairs, especially to her electrieal plant. ARMY AND NAVY FOOT BALL. A groat deal of interest is shown by the offi- cers here in the Annapolis-West Point game of foot ball game to be played on the 28th of this month at West Point. This will be the third game pleyed between the cadets of the army and navy. It will be remembered that in November, 1890, the Naval Academy team defeated the ‘West Point team at West Point by a score of 28 to0. This decisive victory of the naval cadeta caused the West Pointers to use every effort to improve their team, and they em- ployed an ex-Yale player as a coach, and in the game last Thanksgiving at West Point defeated the midshipmen by a score of $2 to 16, thus nearly equalizing things. All during the past year the two teams have been practic ing and training; the West Pointera have an Lex-Yale player as a coach and are as well trained as could be expected considering the studies and drills that take up most of their | available time; while the naval cadets have been couched ail the season by Crosby of Yale, and Prof. Dashiell, who for years played on the Johus Hopkins University and Lehigh Val- ley teams against the naval cadets. ‘The splen- did discipline at the the regularity of drills, studies and calculated to keep the cadets alwa; dition.” The and the point of age in their favor, but the ex- perts say they play aslow game and ate not altogether solid in team work, while the mid- shipmen are quick at this work, good at inter- fering and strong in their ruth line. Compari- sons are not always good prophets, but one com of recent scores particularly favorable to the midship- men. In the first place West Point layed the Weslevan team 6 to 6, Prince- ton then played Wesleyan 60 to 0, while the Princeton team only beat the Annapolix team 23 to 0. thus giving the naval cadets the ad- vantage by comparison of 32 points. Next Saturday the naval cadets will play Rut- gers, which will give another chance for com- ison, as the West Pointers defeated Stevens Tictvectty tecee & to 6; a5 Stevens detested Rutgers 22 to 6, so the naval cadets must play a big score against Rutgers to be up to the West Poiat score. | rcised is OFFICERS WILLING TO DRT. The naval officers are quite willing to bet on the game and seem quite confident of success, but the army officers are not #0 confident and have offered many excuses to prevent « game which leads many to believe that they lack con- in their team. The latest excuse offered by West Point officers ix that these games tend to create bad feeling between the two acade- mies, but it ix hardly probable that fair com- petition in a healthful athletic game could on- ender bad feeling between the two branches of the government service, and if the wishes of the majority of the officers of both services are heeded, the game will be played on the 26th, with a large probability of the naval cadets redeeming their defeat of Inst year, and it seems only fair that the West Pointers should offer the naval cadets a chance to in their laurels. A great deal of interest is felt in the teams by the graduates of the academies and the naval cadets got kind words and money from officers out in China or South America or. the Pacific, who had “been on the team when they were at the navy school,” while the West Point contributions come from the army sta- tions along the coast and the forts on the fron- tier; but everywhere the game is popular and in their alma mater cannot be repeated now. PREPARING FOR THE CIXCIXNATI LAUNCH. The Cincinnati, which was to have been launched next Monday, will not be launched until Thursday, as the time first set being the day before the election the large delegation coming from Cincinnati to take part in the cer- emonies would not have time to vote after their return from the launching. All the shores and have been removed and the vessel ly painted, the launching ways are all ready, and on the stand erected at the bow the Secretary of the Navy and the mayor of Cin- cinnati with a large delegation of citizens from that — sit. The vessel is to be christened by Miss Mosby, the handsome daughter of tho mayor of Cincinnati. The Philadelphia, At- Janta, Misntonomoh and Vermont will’ have large parties of visitors aboard, an ex- pected that s great many people will witness the new cruiser’s launch. The Cincinnati's fine lines under water and her sh: bow and stern would suggest the idea of speed to anyeye, but there are naval con- structors who lvocate more beam in a war ship than bas been given to her, but her large horse power (over 10,000), combined with the smali beam and fine lines, are ex- ge give her a speedo} }wenty-one knote, or as faat as any vessel of her size in the world, and the young lady who is to name the Cinchnnati will sorely look with pride on this greyhound warrior, which could steam to Liverpool side by sido with the great parser ger liners.

News That Comes From Some of the Dis- tant States. Associated Press dispatches give the follow- ing information: The campaign in Wyoming bas been marked by few torchlight processions and greater per- sonal work. The invasion of the state last April by an armed force under the direction and participated in by cattlemen has been a } most important issue in the campaign. The democrats have charged the republicau admin- istration with connivance with the invasion, and although the republicans have claimed that it was not « political issue they bave been forced to meet it to acertainextent. The dem- oorats have conducted an aggressive campaign, assisted by the ple’s party, with whom a coalition was effected by the democrats sup- porting the Weaver electors and the populists wing their strength to the democratic state ticket. Non~ tisans are of the opinion that the contest will be very close. ‘he ari nd bill of Benator Warren ‘has been the principal issue between democrats and republicans. WASUINGTOX'S FIRST ELECTION. ‘The coming election will be the first ut which the voters of Washington state have been per- mitted to vote for a presidential ticket. They will also vote for a full set of state officers and two Congressmen. The main interest centers on the contest for governor owing to the position | of the two candidates on the Lake Washington | eanal question, J. H. McGmw, republican can- | didate, favoring the scheme, while J. H. Snive- | ley, the democratic candidate, opposes it. Re- publicans confidently claim the state for Harri- | son by 8,000 and for the state ticket by 5,000. The democrats express themselves confident of carrying the state by asmall plurality for Cieveland and the state ticket. 6 democrats are charged with the intention to trade the national ticket for votes for Sniveley, the demo- | cratic nominee for oes and for the legis- | lative ticket in the hope of obtaining control of | the state offices and electing a democratic United States Senator. ‘The republican and demoeratic authorities estimate the people's party vote at 18,000 out of « probable total of 95,000, The prohibitionists will cast about 2,000 votes. THE CAMPAIGN IN IDAHO. ‘The campaign in Idaho draws to a close with great uncertainty regarding the result. The democrats and republicans both claim the state, while the populiste aro scarcely less con- fident. ‘The democrats withdrew their electoral ticket and indoreed the people's party electors, making the presidential fight squarely between the republicans and fusionists. The probibi- tionists also have an electoral and state ticket. The issues in the campaign have been the tariff and silver questions. THE FIGHT IX INDIANA. The state fight in Indiana is a close one. The candidates for governor are Claude Mat- | thews on the democratic ticket and Gov. Ira J. Chase, the prosentincumbent, and who is also a minister of the gospel, on the republican ticket. Chase is aaid-to be particularly strong with the religious clement of the state and Matthews is credited with strength among the farmers, hav- ing once been identified with the Farmers’ Alliance, | Tue people's party and prohibition inte also have tickets in the field and will bea very uncertain elemont in determining the ro- sulé. The republicans have made some capital out of the new democratic tax law, which in- creases the assessmentall over the state. A stub- born fight is being waged in ail tho doubtful congrossional districts. It seems almost inev- itablo that the democrats will lose some of tho distriots gained in the political landslide of two’ years.ago, though they will probably retain a majority of the delogation from the state. 1% NEBRASKA. Since the secret meeting of the Nebraska demo- ratic state committee two week» ago, at which it was agreed to support the Weaver electors, there has been a great denl of disappointment i a meeting at Exposition Hall, Omuha, which was intended to be a love feast, closing the | campaign. Dr. George L. Miller presided, and | in opening the meeting took position against fusion. He argued that there was nothing to be gained from trade, and urged his demo- cratic friends to vote the straight ticket.

This has culminated in | *i Several days ago Stephon Andrews of York- town, Pa., quarreied with his wife. He accused her of flirting with a man in the village store, | ‘and when she indignantly denied his charges he became-very sulky and left the house. Later he returned in an intoxicated condition and renewed the quarrel. Mrs. Andrews, who is a handsome woman and has always been looked upon by ber neighbors as a model housewife, then told her husband that she would go home to her parents, This vo angered the man that he dealt her # heavy blow in the face and beat hor into in-| sensibility.
