Since the interference of the B. and O. officials with the attempted connection of the Tenleytown Company's tracks with their Water street elevator barge and dock branch, as reported in The Star last week, nothing new has developed, further than the tearing up of a part of the road- way north of the Water street track, pre- parstory, apparently, to the laying of on independent track to the wharves, the goal of the Tenleytown Company. The only au- thority that has been given the Tenley- town people for ther operations, as far as the records go, is that contained in the fol- lowing permit, dated September 21: “The Georgetown and Tenleytown Railroad Company has permission to lay a single track from the end of their present track on 32d street to the Potomac river along or near ¥2d street. Provided that nothing in this permit shall be ccnstrued as to au- thorize the erection of any additional over- head wires.” The sand wharf that the company desires to reach is located at the foot of 33d street. Funeral Services. The services yesterday over the remains of young Edmund J. Gorman, who died at the college here on Saturday morning, were impressive. At 9 o'clock mass was cele- brated in Dahlgre Chapel by Rev. Father Richards, the president of the university, assisted by Father Shandelle as deacon and Mr. Lauterbach as subdeacon. The students filled the chapel, with the dead boy's father, who arrived from Providence yes- terday morning early, in their midst. Father Richards’ remarks over the body were deeply affecting. He took his founda- tion from the book of wisdom. Death comes to all, he said, and no one knows how and when he will strike. It was therefore dezply important to be al- Ways prepared to enter the great beyond. The reverend father highly eulogized the sterling qualities of the deceased, who was one of the exemplary students of the uni- versity. The tone, words and manner of the speaker brought teafS to the eyes of, all in the church. It was ‘an affecting scene. About the casket were floral contributions from the various classes ‘of the college. The bedy lay in the chapel until 2 o'clock, wren it was borne from the college through a double line of students, with un- covered heads, extending to the outer gate. Therce it was borne to the depot, and in cae of the father taken to Providence, While young Gorman’s death was unex- pected, he had come to the college sick, thinking his illness would soon disappear. Even up to a few hours of the death stroke he was bright, and no alarm was felt. The end came through congestion of the lungs. . es $500 for an Imagination.

HARVARD SHOWS IMPROVEMENT SNAP Princeton's Line Put Up a Mag- niticent Game. MIDDIES AND THE CADETS ‘The Harvard foot ball eleven defeated Amherst Saturday by 24 to 0. The crimson eleven played with a lot of snap and dash and acted thoroughly wide awake for the first time this year. Aside from that the game did not indicate any great advance during the week. Off-side play was fre- quert, and wa3 about the only way Am- herst gained any ground. There was scarcely any attempt at following the ball, azd when there might just as well have been nine or ten men after it there would be one or two. Fumbling was the regula- tion thing. Amherst wes so weak that there was little chance to judge of Har- vard’s strength on the dcfensive. Unless Harvard was off side Amherst lost about five yards on every down. Capt. Brewer wrenched his ankle and Whitney of Am- herst tore a ligament In his shoulder slight- ly. Both men thought it best to leave the game, though neither was seriously hurt. Harvard. Positions.

A Foot Ball Player Deliberately. Fells an Opponent to‘the Ground. The foot ball game between Northwestern University and Beloit College Saturday came near resulting in a riot. Although this was avoided by prompt action the bit- terest kind of feeling was engendered be- tween the friends of the opposing teams and there were a number of personal en- counters. Northwestern had the ball and it had just been advanced fifteen yards by Potter, when Thorne, the Northwestern left guard, ran around the line to where Baker, the Beloit half-back, was standing, and deliberately struck him a tremendous blow in the face, breaking his nose and stretching him out unconscious on the grass. The attack was apparently entirely un- provoked and in an instant Thorne was surrounded by the entire Beloit team. At- kinson, the Beloit captain, was beside him- self with anger, and made several attempts to get at Thorne, from whom he was sep- arated by the mass of spectators who had crowded on the field. President Rogers of Northwestern happened to be on the field and ran up to the prostrate player, de- manding an explanation of Thorne. By this time the two teams were sur- rounded by 200 half-crazy students from both colleges, in the. midst of whom the large police detail, which had been sent to preserve order at the game, were utterly powerless. The field was cleared after a wait of fifteen .minutes and the game pro- ceeded, Thorne having been ruled off. Baker was carried»to his hotel, where he received the best of medical attention. He had been severely injured early in the game and was too weak to stand the ter- rifle onset made on him by Thorne. Y¥ALE-PRINCETON FOOT BALL. ‘The Game Will Be Played on Manhat- tan Field November 23. Manager Arthur E. Foote of the Yale foot ball team says that a*contract with the management of the Manhattan Field has been agreed upon and that the Yale-Prince- ton game would be played there on No- vember 23. It had been supposed that the game this year would be played on Colum- bia Oval, at Williamsbridge. Manhattan Field is much more accessible and its se- lection will give general satisfaction. CAMBRIDGE BADLY BEATEN. Yale Won Eight of the Eleven Events Saturday.

Frank Ives the other night gave a won- derful exhibition of skill at balk-line bil- ards in New York. In one run he scored between 700 and 800 points. Unfortunately, an exact count was not made, and the total of the break can only be approximated. Ives sald it was undoubtedly the largest run he had ever made at the balk line. In view of the fact that he has played billiards only a few times since last winter his performance was astonishing. Tuesday night while practicing with “Tem” G lagher, he played little better than Galla- gher, and declared himself in need of a iot of practce. Two days afterward he sur- passed all of his previous best efforts. He and Daly started to play a practice game. Daly won the lead and began with a run of 7. Ives followed with 102. Daly's sec- ond inning realized a cjpher. Then the big run began. For an hour and fifteen minutes Ives counted rapidly. He did not have that ex- traordinary control of the cue hall that he displays when in good practice, his ‘“dead- ball” ‘playing being far below his vsual standard, and as a consequence he had to resort to more open play than usual. While the greater part of the run was accom- plished at the head of the table, on numer- ous occasions the balls got into bad posi- tions, only to be brought back by superb drives and cushion ghots, The run combined! almost every descrip- tion of shot incident, to balk-line billiards, and demonstrated more conclusively than anything he has ever vefore done what a thorough master ofthe game the “Young Napoleon” ts. Aftef fle miss had finally come, and the spectators had congratulated Ives upon his extraordinary work, Maurice Daly found a chance to remark: “f am still 79. That settlés the balk line. Mc- Devitt killed the push, Schaefer killed the rail, and you have killed the halk line. The lines will have to be extended, and only one shot allowed to get ithe balls out of balk.” Ives laughingly feplied: “I want two shots—one to shape;them uj and another to get_them out.” ac About the Ist of November Ives expects to sail for Europe,: with his friend and backer, A. J. Levy, Who contemplates a tour around the world: India will be the champion’s objective point, an Indian prince having extended higé.an Invitation to visit Kapoorthella. Ira Dupn and Foulis Win at Newport. The first meeting of the National Golf Association closed at Newport Saturday with professional fours for a purse of $200. The contestants were Willie Dunn of Shinnecock Hills and Foulis of Chicago against Davis of Newport and Campbell of Brookline. Dunn and Foulis won with a score of 177 to 180 in a very close match. It was for strokes, four rounds of the course or 36 holes. Foulis’ long drives were the features of the game, and his putting at the home hole was the most brilliant play of the week.

INTRUDERS T0 BE EJECTED FORCIBLY United States Statutes Amply Cover the Case. INDIAN COMMISSIONER'S VIEW Commissioner Browning of the Indian office has taken prompt and decisive steps to prevent the Corbett-Fitzsimmors prize fight taking place in the Indian territory. He has prepared a letter of instructions to Agent Wisdom at Muscogee, Indian terr!- tory, directing him to see that the laws are enforced, and to eject forcibly any intrud- ers who may enter the Indian country for the purpose of creating a disturbance or of ergaging in anything that may be detri- mental to the Indians. ‘The commissioner says that the statutes of the United States are ample to cover the situation and to prevent the fight. The agent will have at his back not only the Indian police, but all the United States troops necessary to eject the fighters. The statutes give the United States authority to keep out of the Indian territory all persons whose presence would be detrimental to the peace and prosperity of the Indians. The commissioner says there !s no doubt that the presence of the prize fighters and the gang that would follow them into the Indian country would be very detrimental to the Indians, and that it 1s, therefore, the duty of the Indian office to keep them out. He says that the agent at Muscogee has not got as much authority as the agents on reservations, but, nevertheless, has enough to prevent the fight taking place in the ter- ritory of the Five Civilized Tribes. The commissioner intends also to notify all the governors and head men of the Five Civilized Tribes that they must not allow the fight to take place and must assist the United States authorities in preventing it. Comniissioner Browning was asked if the admission of Corbett, Fitzsimmons and others connected with the fight to citizen- ship in one of the tribes would make any difference in the authority of the govern- ment, and he said that it would not change the conditions in the least. The govern- ment has the power to expel a fullblood Indian from the territory if the peace and good order of the Indians required it. The government will be able to exercise a great deal of discretion in the affair. The United States marsbals, or the Indian agent and his police, backed by the United States troops, can remove the fighters as intruders and keep them out, and then answer as to violation of the law after- ward. It is not a case where the fight might take place, and the fighters then be called upon as to whether they, have vio- lated the law. The government will not even wait for the affair to progress that far. The prin- cipals and others connected with the tight will be unceremoniously hustled off the Indian lands on the ground that they are intruders, whose presence is undesirable. If they make any complaint about it, the courts will have to determine the rights of the matter, and, it is believed, the prob- abilities are that the power of the United States government will be broadly inter- preted. ‘What Gov. Altgeld Would Do. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, October 7.—Gov. Alt- geld, when asked what course he would take in case an attempt was made to pull off the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight on an is- land in the Illinois river, near Henry, IIl., said: “I don’t know where the island is, nor do I know of any projected prize fight, but if it is on Hlinois so!l we will do all in our power to pfevent any prize fight taking place there. The enforcement of the law rests primarily with the local authorities, but if it becomes necessary for the state to take a hand, you may say that I will use every effort to prevent the fight.” CLEVELAND TAKES THE THIRD. ‘The Orioles Failed to Hit Young’s De- livery. Cleveland made it three straight at Cleve- land Saturday in the wind up of the games for the Temple cup in that city. An im- mense crowd was at League Park long be- fore the hour set for the beginning. of the game. At least 12,000 people were in the stands, on the field and perched on the fences surrounding the park. The day was a trifle cool, but the air was clear and the sun shone brightly. The crowd was en- thusiastic, but there was not a particle of disorder. The game was won by the Cleve- lands by superior playing. The visitors were unable to hit Young effectively, while McMahon was pounded for seven singles and four doubles, three of which would have been three-baggers at least but for the ground rules.

Didn’t Think Yale’s Victory Would Be So Sweeping, Though. LONDON, October 7.—The Globe, allud- ing to the defeat of the Cambridge Uni- versity team by the Yale athletes, says: “Their defeat was hardly unexpected, but, so entire a Yale triumph seemed altogether out of the question. If America cannot prove her claims on the river she, at all events, is vastly superior to England on the track. If we wish to attain the Amer- ican standard there must be an altera- tion in current theories here.” The Pall Mall Gazette says on the same subject: “Until both sides are willing to devote as many months of training as they row do weeks the Americans will always win in America and the Englishmen in England. The St. James Gazette scouts the idga, freely exoressed here, that Oxford Was lucky to beat Yale in 1894, and adds: “Cambridge’s win over Oxford in 1895 was very fluky, depending entirely upon Men- delson’s unexpected win in the long jump.” The Globe’s remark about America’s ina- bility to prove her claims on the river un- doubtedly has reference to the aquatic de- feats of Harvard and Cornell tn England. It should be remembered that the English oarsmen sent here to the centennial re- gatta were beaten by Americans. Lord Dunraven May Try to Defeat er. Capt. John Barr of Howard Gould's 20- rater Niagara has returned to America. “We left the Niagara,” Capt. Barr said, “laid up for the winter at Fay’s yards in Southampton. Some of her crew have gone to their homes in Norway, and the rest have returned to this country. Mr. Gould will sail for America very shortly. “We éxpect to return in the early spring and race the Niagara another season in English water. “I found some difficulty at first with the tides, for I had not sailed there for seven years and I bad a pilot for three days, but sailed all the other races myself. “A skipper needs considerable experi- ence in English racing, because the courses in the 20-rater class are usually sailed three times around. They average about thirty-three miles in length. It is for this reason that in Encland the yachts are seldom interfered with by excursion boats, except sometimes at the start. The boats are seen several times as they sail round the buoys, and the excursion steambcats never follow the yachts over the course. “We had a very duccessfu! season in England. We started in fifty-two races, and won thirty-one first prizes, eight sec- onds, and one third. “There were two Herreshoff boais sailing in our class, the Isolde and the Dakotah. “The Isolde is a sistcr boat+of the Ni- agara. She started nineteen times against us and beat us twice. The Dakotah defeat- ed us three times, but we could easily beat her in a good breeze. “If the rumor is true that Dunraven has ordered a 20-rater from Herreshoff, he 1s probably getting her to defeat the Niag- ara. The Niagara will be a year older then, but I will give him a good stiff race.” Another New Record. BUFFALO, N. Y., October 7.—T. T.

Arrest of Don Farden for Embezzle- ment. John Don Farden, alias T. J: Franklin, has been arrested !n Baltimore for stealing $16,000 from the office of the Adams Ex- press Company, at Terre Haute, Ind. Farden was formerly employed in the Treasury Department in this city, and afterward was an examin-r in the pension office. He was first employed by the ex- press company about three years ago. He is married to a daughter of the late Gen. Rutherford of this city, and it is said that his wife and little daughter have been in the city recently at the house of a relative. The arrest was brought about hy Pinker- ten Detective Zohn R. Saville, who has been working on the case since the larceny occurred, September 6. The detetive said Farden was employed as cashier of the ex- press company, and that on the date nam- ed he put a package containing $16,000 in his pocket and disappeared. He was trac- ed to this city and then to Baltimore. Farden admitted that he had takep the money, and said he was willing to return to Terre Haute without the formality cf requisition papers. Detective Saville will Probably leave for the west with his pris- oner today. - Farden said he lost money on the races and became short in his accounts. He was expecting the arrival of the auditor of the express company, when he knew that ex- posure would be inevitable. Me began drinking, he said, and finished by going off with the package of money, which was left at the office for transmission to Cin- cinnati. Farden said a ticket agent for one of the western railroads, who also was short in his accounts, left ‘Terre Haute with him, —— CORCORAN SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL.

The Secretary of Agriculture has issued regulations for the enforcement of the act of Congress providing for the inspec- tion of meat prepared for export. These regulations will take effect January 1. It is ordered that all beef offered for ex- portation, whether fresh, salted, canned, corréd or packed, shall be accompanied by a certificate of an inspector of the Agri- cultural Department, showing that the cat- tle from which it was produced were free from disease, and that the meat was sound and wholesome. And in order that it may be deiermined whezher all beef exported has been so inspected and found free from disease and wholesome, it is fur- ther ordered that the meat of all other species of animals which is packed in bar- rels, cases or other packages, shall be legibly marked in such manner as to clear- ly Indicate the species cf animals from which the meat was produced. Meat which is not marked and which is not sccom- panied by a certificate of inspection will be subject to unpacking and examination, in order to ascertain if it is uninspected beef. Notice is given to exporters of beef whether sald beef is fresh, salted, canned, corned or packed or otherwise ‘prepared and to owners and agents of vessels upon which said beef Is exported, that no clear- ance will be given to any vessel having on board sald beef uniil the provisions of the new order are complied with. ———_—- 2+—_____ Mystery story on page 14. .

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., October 5, 1895. The negro building at Atlanta’s big ex- Position gives an interesting evidence of the progrcss of the negro woman since the war. The various schools for colored youth throughout the south are, with one excep- tien, coeducational, arid every exhibit here shows the work of the women in the schools. The institutions are all on the in- dustrial liree, and although the exhibits are crude in many respects, they- reveal the fact that the negro woman is fast growing to b2 skillful in needlework, dressmaking, millinery and in other practical industries, and that in very many ways she is fitting herself for higher usefulness. The paintings and drawings shown are, judged from an artistic etandpoint, very Poor, and the subjects are always of a tragical and ivrid nature; but in modeling several wcmen have attained fair succeds. A bust of Carles Sumner by Edwina Lew- is, a women now married to an Italian, is really a masterful piece of modeling. This woman is now living in Italy, and the ne- gro man who showed the bust to me re- marked, with a twinkle in his eye, that she “now disclaimed her African blood; but, anyway, the bust was done when she was @ negro. . A number of statuettes and bas-reliefs by Mattie Williams, a girl seventeen years of age, are shown in the exhibit from the In- dustrial College at Montgomery, the most noticeable amcng them being a panel show- ing the figures of three little newsboys, dusky ana ragged, the study being from life. In tris clay modeling it is interesting to note the forms and decorations which the women Fave chcsen. They very much resemble fhe Indian and Egyptian styles ‘of decoration in pottery, and it seems that the best results, in an artistic way, are to be gained by the negro in this line of liberal arts. The Hempton (Va.) Normal and Agricul- tural College has done a great deal of emi- nently practical work toward the education ofthe u-gro women of their race. In this School they are taught all things apper- taining to cooking, to house cleaning and practical, domestic work. They are also given a course in agricultural products and practical farming, “‘because,” said the ex- hibitor in speaking of the work, “our coun- try is agricultural, and we think the wo- men should know everything about the ground that their husbands have to till.” A number of women from this college have taken up the business of floriculture, in which they-have been very successful. It was always a saying among the white women in olden days that a negro seemed to have a magic for making flowers grow, and their success with them has ever been wonderful. In Fairmount, where the Hampton School is, there has been established, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., with John J. Smallwood, the international lecturer, at its head, a co-educational school, at which wo- men are learning telegraphy, shorthand and typewriting, dressmaking, scient‘fic cooking and all the wage-earning industries. It {s an interesting fact that this school is sit- uated on the spot where the first slave was sold in America. ‘The Hampton School was established in 1868, and has an endowment fund of half a million dollars. The wife of the orator and educator, Booker T. Washington, was educated there, as was Prof. Washington himself, and it was largely through her able management and inteliigent direction that the school which he founded at Tuskeegee, Ala., has attained such prosperity and suc- cess. This school Fairmount has a sort of annex for Ind girls, there being 120 in the school whose education is paid for by the government. It was the first school of its kind in the country, and has fifty separate buildings. Besides these schools there are a number of others, all of them showing exhib‘ts of woman's work. In the exhib:t from a Mem- phis school there is an interest'ng case of African curios, brought from that country by Georgia Mather Lee Patton, and also quite an extensive exhibit of stuffed birds ond animals done by the female scholars, as well as the males. They are most excel- lently done, too, and certainly there ‘s no art in which the negro ought to excel more than in taxidermy. His familiarity with wild birds and beasts of the wood amounts almost to a kinsh‘p, and he surely ought to know them better than any other people. The women in charge of the various in- dustrial exhibits are young, educated megresses, who were born after the war, and really know very little of the past. There is an exception to these, however, to be found in the Spellman Seminary depart- ment. This is a school founded in Atlanta fifteen years ago. The old mulatto woman who has charge was in the ante-bellum days a servant of the late Governor Joseph E. Brown, a distinguished figure in southern political life. This school has grown for fifteen years until it is now the greatest school for wo- men in the world. “They didn’t just begin with the young ones,” she said; “they began teaching the mothers, and that was the right wav. Many women my age would cook and wash and iron all day and go there and learn at night. They taught them how to take pride in themselves and their homes, how to sew and keep things neat about them; and, then, the school was founded on such noble principles." She showed the work that the girls in the school had done in embroideries and fine needle werk on linen, which is really the best exhibit of its kind in the building. The school makes a specialty of training nurses, and has sent from its doors man’ faithful servitors whose kind hands willing hearts have ministered to the sick with a patience and fidelity that has never been excelled by the women of any other race. “I told my people when any of them seemed to be losing interest in having thei ~ race represented here,” she said, “that if they did not work for this thing they would lose the opportunity of a lifetime. W4 don’t pretend to have much to make a show; our civilization is very young; but God has given us this chance to show that we want to Le a people. God’s mill grinds slow, but I see some light before us. I feel as if we who are struggling for the enlight- enment of our race are just a little hand- full to ourselves against a vast majority of ignorant people. But God is working out His will through us.” pe Mystery story on page 14. plemdatieS Their Ranks Are Thinning. From the Bridgton (Mfe.) News. The 1805 death-roll in the G.A.R. was 7,368, a percentage of 2.06 against 0.9 in 1886. The next ten years will deplete the ranks of the veteran organizations very per- ceptibly.
