Secretary Smith yesterday rendered a de- cision in a land case which gave title to a claim over thirty years old. In 1862 Chas. Thompson was given a certificate to lands in Washington state, but four years later, by executive order, the lands were em- braced in a tract set apart for a military reservation. Thompson’s claim was sus- pended in the general land office. The Sec- retary decided that Thompson was entitled to the land, and his patent could not have been affecied by the creation of a military reservation which included his claim, and directs that a patent be issued to him: —__-e—______ Placed on the Retired List.

FIRST FOOTBALL GAMES OF THE SEASON Close Call for the New Haven Men. GOOD WORK OF THE TIGERS ——_+—___. The Princeton teem played its first game yesterday afternoon, and foot ball enthusi- asts from all tHe colleges were on hand to Get a line on the Princeton play. The game was against the Elizabeth (N.J.) Athletic Club. The cranks were treated to a gen- ulne surprise by the fine, snappy game put up by Princeton. Two twenty-minute halves were played, and Princeton scored 14 points in the first and 24 in the second. They lost the ball on downs but three times. The touch-downs were made by Rosen- garten (5), Bannard (1) and Rhodes (1). Goals kicked—By Brokaw, 2; Baird, 2; Wentz, 1. The line up: Princeton. Position.

Linesmen— ane Munna (Princeton) and Knapp (E. - C.). Yale, 4; Brown, 0. Yale met Brown on the gridiron at New Haven yesterday afternoon in a_ hard fought contest and when time was called at the close of the second half four lonely points were all that tie large crowd of svectators had with which to content themselves. The game was perhaps a fair one for so early in the season. The play was snappy and hard, but the tackling was uncertain and there was little or no in- terferenze. Brown openly stated before the game that she expected to score and one of her players remarked after the contest that she had played a kicking game in the first half in the hope of securing a touch-down against the men whom Capt. Thorne sub- stituted in the second half. In this the Providence men were considerably dis- appointed, however, as they did not get as near the Yale line as in-the first half, when they were once within twenty yards of the coveted goal. ‘There was some little misunderstanding in regard to the rules, but not enough to interfere seriously with the game. Two fifteen-minute halves were played and it required twelve minutes for Yale to score her first and only touch-down, Thorne carrying the ball over the line. In the second the ball went from one side, to the other upon downs and kicks and time was called with Yale having the ball cn Brown's fifteen-yard line. They lined up as follows: Yale. Position. Brown. Bass. -Left end. -Dennison Left tackle. M’Farl'ne,Sutph'n.Left guard. Cross.. ...Center. Chadwick. -Right guard. Rodgers, Morris..Right .tackl L. Hink’y,Gr’nway.Right end.

There will be no prize fight at Dallas Oc- tober 31 between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. This fact was settled yesterday afternoon by the Texas legislature in exactly three hours by the watch. The two committees —one in the senate and the other in the house—gave an audience to the Dallas at- torneys all the morning to ascertain their objections and protests to the passage of the law. After hearing tht gentlemen until noon the two committees adjourned. When the two houses met at 3 o'clock both commit- tees were ready to report, and the senate bill was very promptly considered. From the time the bill was placed before the sen- ate until it finally passed it was exactly fifty-five minutes. During this time Senator Dean opposed the bill, and Senator Lasker spoke in its favor. These were the only two gentlemen who spoke on the bill, the balance satisfy- ing themselves by voting. The vote on the final passage of the bill was 27 yeas and 1 ray, Dean being the negative voter. The bill was immediately sent over to the house, and at 4 o’clock tha: body began discussing it, substituting the senate bill for the house bill, After several gentle- men had spoken of the bill and the emer- gency feature pro and con, a final vote was reached at 6 o'clock precisely, and the bill passed the house by a vote of 110 to 5. ‘Thus, within three hours, did the Texas legislature forever put an end to prize fighting in Texas. May Take Place in Mexico. Said Dan Stuart to an Associated Press reporter last night: “The contest will not come off in Texas. We have proceeded so far under the law. We did not touch a stick of timber till the highest judicial tribunal of Texas in crimi- nal matters decided there was no law against glove contests on the statute books. The legislature was called in to remedy the defective law, and that is an end of it.” ‘The representatives of the Florida Ath- letic Club have completed arrangements with the owners of a bull pen across the river in New Laredo, Mex., for an eption of eight days’ duration, the object being to secure a place for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. All that now remains is the approval of the governor of that state, Tamaulipas, who is now being communicated with. CRICKETERS SAIL, Captain Mitchell Says the Boys En- joyed Their Visit. ‘The fourteen university cricketers from Oxford and Cambridge sailed for England on the American liner New York yester- day. The straw hats, with light and dark blue bands, which identified them on their landing a month ago, were still prominent as they grouped together on the side of the liner. Capt. Mitchell expressed himself— and spoke for the fourteen other young ericketers—as entirely satisfied and greatly pleased with his reception in this country. Broke a 100-Mile Record. BUFFALO, N. Y., October 3.—William E. ofthe De Dal broke the 100-mile record of the Frie-Buffalo bicycle course, covering the distance in five hours and twenty-eight minutes. The best previous record was by Jake Linnemann in five hours and thirty- seven minutes, CLEVELAND’S GAME. Young Outpitches McMahon im the First of the: ple Cup Games. It was a plteh¥rs’ battle at Cleveland yesterday, this first game between Cleve- land and Baltimore for the Temple Cup. Clevelarid won it because McMahon showed distress more jn ‘the ninth inning than in the eighth inning. better game than Bal- Fielding by McKean and Young timore. was magnificent., The former was the bright star of Cleveland’s game. Jennings played wonderfyl ball for the visitors and McGraw deserves\four-fifths of the credit of the good showing that his team made in run-getting. He was the only Oriole who could bat Young with safety. Two of his hits seemed to Verge on the scratch order. Cleveland made the first run in the fifth inning. McGarr hit for_a single to left field and Young bunted. The ball got away from McMahon and two men were. safe. Burkett sacrificed and McKean hit a’ high fly to Gleason. “McGarr took a desperate chance and scored from third base after the fly was caught. In the sixth inning Baltimore tied the score. McGraw hit for a base and went to second on Keeler’s out. Jennings flied to McAleer. A grounder from Kelley’s bat went squarely into McGarr’s hands and as quickly out again, for he could not hold the ball. McGraw scored. * In Cleveland's half, with a hand out, Oliver Tebeau hit for a base. Zimmer fol- lowed with arother and Blake with a two- bagger. Had it not looked as though Kel- ley would catch the ball Zimmer might have scored as well as Tebeau. McGraw began the eighth with a hit over McGarr's head. Keeler died at first, but McGraw went to second. Jennings sent him home with a single to left field, Kelley singled over second base and was forced out by Brodie. .If McKean had been able to make a double play on this hit Jennings’ run would not have counted. The throw was a trifle slow and Brodie got to first without trouble, but no. further. : Oliver Tebeau started the fun when Cleve- land came to the bat with a two-bagger to left field. Zimmer died on a line fly to Kel- ley, but Blake hit over second base for a single and Tebeau scored and the game was again tied. - In the ninth with a hand out Robinson hit to right field for two bases. Then Mc- Mahon went out. McGraw again rapped the ball in the nose and his two-bagger sent Robinson home, When Cleveland came to bat it was grow- ing dusk. Burkett hit to left field for two bases. McKean sent him hcme with a line single past Jennings. That tied the score again. Childs hit to left for a base. Mc- Aleer bunted the ball and the bases were filled. Tebeau forced McKean at the plate and then..Zimmer came to the bat. His grounder forced Tebeau at second. But Gleason could not get the ball to Carey in time to retire Zimmer and the game was over. g . BALTIMORE. wae AE, R.H.O.AE.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West—The thousands upon thousands of people who attended Buffalo Bili's Wild West show last night and yesterday afternoon left no doubt in the mind of the owner of that well-known name as to his popularity in this city. The great oval space was packed from end to end, and even with the immense space which had been provided ‘or seating the audience there was hardly room enough to turn around in. The bright electric lights made the place a brilliant spectacle, har- monizing with the glittering costumes of the cavalry and the picturesque trappings of the Indians, cowboys, Cossacks and Arabs. The regular features which charac- terized the show in the past were all pres- ent and thoroughly enjoyed by the vast as- semblage. The stage coach was beset with Indians and saved by the cowboys, the im- migrant train was treated in the same manner, the cowboys gave an exhibition of how they do things on the great western plains, and some magnificent shooting was indulged in. The Indians in their war paint and feathers showed that they knew how to handle horses as well as the rest, and the exhibitions which they gave were novel in’ the @xtreme. The feature of the show, however, was the corigress of rough riders. The different squads of the cavalry troops of the several nations, the Cossacks, In- dians, Arabs, cowboys, all assembled in line, while Col. Cody announced them. Then commenced the daring competition as to which group could outdo the other in feats that were hazardous and thrilling to ray the least. : Each squad had their own different style, and it was a difficult matter after the con- clusion of the act to say which should have first laurels. The cowboys and Cos- sacks, however, seemed to stand ahead of the rest, and the feats which some of the more daring participated in made the ma- jority of those in the audience hold their breath. The center of attraction in this was the United States cavalry troop. As they rede down the line cheer after cheer sounded on the air, the enthusiasm being kept up by the forty-odd cavalrymen who had Secured leave from Fort Myer to at- tend the show. The sixth cavalry, now stationed there, was with the show at the world's fair, and they and the performers in the aggregation are old friends. They renewed old acquaintances last evening in the most approved fashion and kept up a continual rattle vf applause whenever any of their particular friends did anything out of the usual run. It seemed as though every performer tried to outdo all his pre- ylous acts on account of the show being at the capital of the country, and also be- cause of the great number of army men present. Col. Cody was given a reception at the Army and Navy Club last evening, at which old acquaintances were renewed and new ones made, many of his old friends whom he had been associated with in the west being present. A number of promi- nent personages were in the audience yes- terday afternoon and evening. After the two performances today the show will leave for the south, where it will gradually work its way to the Atlanta exposition. “Miss Jerry.”—The picture play, “Miss Jerry,” drew a very good-sized audience to Metzerott's Music Hall last night. A great number of those who saw and heard it last season were in the audience, and they were as much pleased with it as they were at the furmer presentation. It is a story told in a charming manner, pro- fvsely sllustrated, and the pictures were those of real characters in the play of life. Mr. Alexander Black, the author and pertrayer of “Miss Jerry,” is writing an- other picture story, the scenes cf which will be laid in Washington. He intends revisiting tkis city a number of times in the near future in order to get material for the work, and it is expected that he will be able to get it into shape by the convening of Congress. He intends to make the scenes &8 contemporaneous 4s Possible with the presentation of the new story, and the opening of Congress will have a purt iat it.

The heat which has-prevailed in England during the past ten days has culminated in a drop of 25 degrees in the thermometer. This was followed by a heavy gale, which has already caused much damage along the coasts. A dispatch from Deal an- mounces that two steamers have been driven ashore on the treacherous Goodwin sands, and the news of other disasters to shipping is constantly being received. A telegram from Ilfracombe, on the coast of Devonshire, at the mouth of the Bristol canal, announces that six life-savers have been drowned while attempting to rescue the crew of the Ketch-Arabella, which was ashore in a dangerous position off that coast. Dispatches from Liverpool say that the gale there was accompanied by a blinding rain, and that a number of ships in the river Mersey displayed signals of distress. The same state of affairs is reported from other parts of the country, and all along the coasts the lifeboat men were kept busy throughout the night, succeeding in saving many lives. Dispatches from various points show that many ships in distress were deserted by their crews. The full extent of the rav- ages of the gale will, naturally, not be known for some days to come, but there is no doubt that the shipping interests have suffered considerably. No damage to Amer- ican shipping has been reported up to the present. HALL'S HAIR RENEWER RENDERS THE HAIR lustrous and silken, gives Yt an even color, and enables women to ‘put it up in a great variety of styles, 3 AN AUSPICIOUS OPE: Stylish Wraps. Suits and Fall Fash- fons Displayed at McKnew’s. It is in the spring that a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and it is in both the spring and fall that the fancies of young—and middie-aged—women turn to thoughts of style and fashion. To such, therefore, the present season is replete with happiness, for the enterprising mer- chants have filled their establishments with novel and attractive things dear to the femi- nine heart, and those delightful occasions known as “fall openings” are numerous. One of the most conspicuous of these events occurred today at the popular house of Win. H. McKnew, No. 033 Pennsylvania avenue, and at all times the commodious sales rooms and exhibition parlors were crowded by an interested throng of representative Wash- ington women. The reason for this \-as evident to any one who walked through the establishment and saw the many beautiful articles exhibited. On the second and third floors, where the cloaks and wraps and the finished suits are displayed, there were rare exhibitions. House dresses and street cos- tumes, ready to be put on at once and worn with effect, were on every side in rich pro- fusion, and the street costumes, consisting of a skirt and handsome and stylish jacket, with which any sort of a silk or woolen waist may be worn, were particularly no- ticeable for their variety and elegance, while the prices, ranging from $9 to $30 a suit, were remarkable for garments made according tothe best art of men tailors from the latest and most fashionable fabrics. In the cloak and wrap department, on the second floor, the same elegant assortment was noticeable. Rough cheviot coats in natty designs, particularly suitable to young ladies, were noticeable, and the vel- vet capes, with fur trimming and exquis- ite designs in jet, worked from collar to hem, presented a fine assortment, from which the most refined taste could have no difficulty in making a selection. In a word, Mr.. McKnew’s stock of tailor-made gar- ments comprises everything suitable for femininity, from old age to babyhood. The display of silk, cheviot and other woolen waists was greatly admired, and on the ground floor both men and women were able to find everything in the way of un- derwear, laces, ribbons, hosiery, neckwear and faney articles. Especially noticeable was the stock of Dr. Jaeger’s famous man- ufactures, of which Mr. McKnew presents the only complete line offered in Washing- ton. The corset department has been re- moved to the third floor, and there is a fitting room connected with it, an innova- tion the ladies will be quick to appreciate. Altogether, McKnew’s establishment is one that may be visited with pleasure and profit, because there it will be found easy to solve the preblem of dressing in ac- cordance with the demands of fashion at an expenditure far below what 1s custom- ary in such an instance. SOUTH TAKOMA Raises a Serious Objection to the Street Extension Plan. Attorney John Ridout, on behalf of Archi- bald Greenlees and himself, late yesterday afternoon filed’a petition for a writ of man- damus against the District Commissioners, to compel them to inaugurate condemnation proceedings against certain Takoma Park property. The petition was presented to Judge Cole, who directed that a rule, re- turnable the 15th instant before Judge Brad- ley, issue requiring the Commissioners to show cause why the petition shall not be granted. The petitioners state that they own in fee simple the subdivision known as South Ta- koma, save lot 8, block 1, and lots 4, 5, 6 and 7, block 2. At the present time, they‘claim, the streets of this suburb are Birney avenue, Blair road and Sligo Mill road, graded and used as public highways. ‘The petitioners state further that in sec- tion 1 of the approved plan of street exten- sion the Commissioners have dispensed with Birney avenue and altered the Blair road, so as to deprive the residents of such use of them as they believe they are entitled to, by the extension of North Capitol street and Kansas avenue. Section 6, say the petitioners, of the act In question provides that within thirty days after the filing of the plats the Commission- ers must take steps to have condemnation proceedings instituted against all highways in existing subdivisions, in order that they may be altered to conform to the plan of extension. This the Commissioners have, it ts alleged, failed to do, and the petitioners claim that this failure has resulted in great loss to them. . ——_—-—__ r Intent to 5 David Tibbs, a young’ colored man, was convicted yesterday in Criminal Court Ne. 2 with assaulting Louisa Martin, a colcred girl, with intent to kill, on the 24th of last June.

Death of Mra. Ann Tolliver Recrlis Historic Incidents, Mrs. Ann Tolliver, colored, who was per- haps, one of the best known women of her race in this city, died at her home, No. 508 Colfax street, Howardtown, Sunday even- ing, and her funeral took place from the Third Baptist Church, corner of 5th and Q streets, yesterday afternoon, Rev. James H. Lee, pestor of the church, officiating. Mrs. ‘folliver was ninety years old, and just after the close of the war she figured in a street incident near the United, States treasury which caused considerable comment and congressional actica. In those days there were cars known as “white” and “colored,” and no colored per- sons were permitted to ride in the “white” cazs. But Mrs. Tolliver broke the rule, arfl the trouble she experienced was fol- —— the next day by the breaking of the we She stood on the corner for a long time, Waiting for a car, but all those marked “colored” were crowded, and becoming im- patient, she got on one of the “white” cars and held on, as she was anxious to get to the other end of the city without the trouble of walking. But the conductor objected to her being a passenger on his car and proceeded to enforce the rules of the company by at- tempting to eject her. In this he did not find an easy task, for Ann Tolliver was a powerful woman, and she held tight to her grasp on the car and at the same time screamed for assistance. Her screams were not in vain, for on the car sat at least two Congressmen and as many army officers, and it was due to their protests that she was permitted to retain her seat and ride to her destination. The next morning the newspapers took up the matter, and, although it was during the clcsing days of the sessign of Congress, one of the Congressmen introduced a bill, which was passed, and after that Ann Tolliver and all other coloreg persons were permitted to ride on the “white” as well as the “colored” cars. ‘Ann had two sons who fought during the war, and she has since: drawn a pension. With this money she purchased a piece of und near Howard University and had several houses erected. She had occupied one of them for a num- ber of years, and the rents from the others were cnough to support her and pay for the employment of a nurse during her latter ys. The deceased leaves property worth about $8,000, and in her will she left a portion of it to her church, made several other chari- table bequests, and what is left will go to her sister, Maria Lyies, who lives Ta Alexe andria, She is more than eighty years old. ee Marriage Liccnses.
