Spansy, 434 7th St. REPULSED THE MOB Attempt at Lynching at Tiffin, Ohio, De- feated. Two of the Mob Shot by the Jail Guards—Militia Ordered to the Scene by the Governor. ‘ An attempt was made to lynch Lee J. Martin, Police Marshal Shultz’s slayer, at Tiffin, Ohio, early yesterday morning. A mob, composed of the worst specimens of law-defiers that any community could pre- duce, attacked the jail. Whisky had been indulged in until they were more like wolves than human beings. Two of the mob were shot dead by the guards. At {0 a.m. Governor McKinley, who had reached Columbus, was awakened in his car by parties bearing a message from Sheriff Vannest of Seneca county that the jail there was surrounded by a mob that was threatening to lynch Martin. He at once directed Sheriff Vannest to order out the company of militia at Tiffin and send further particulars. When the sheriff sent further informa- tion Governor McKinley ordered other troops in readiness. Adjutant General J. Cc. Howe was at his home in Kenton, and ordered out cf bed to Tiffin. Col. Bunker of the sixth regiment, composed of com- panies in the neighborhood of Tiffin, ha pened to be visiting in Columbus, and was hunted up and was soon in communication ith the governor. Soon after he had his regiment under mare The troops were he S till yes- terday, whea Governor received werd that the mob ref: Heve that Martin had been transferred to a jail in an adjoining county, and that it was becom- ing more threatening than ever. The sheriff wired that the crowd threatened to blow up the jail, although three different com- mittees of their own selection could not tind oner in any of the cell: feared then that the mob would become incensed because the pri been spirited away and the purpo: lynchers thwarted. Then the militia from Fostoria, Kenton, Clyde, Freemont, four companies, were ordered to Tiffin, Last night Governor Mc- Kinley received advices from Gen. Howe and Sheriff Vannest that the four com- panies that had arrived, together with the Tiffin company, were able to protect the jail, but it was still feared that there might be trouble. The Attack Repulsed. About 1:15 yesterday morning six men gathered on the lawn about the jail and thirty others joined them. Then a whistle was heard, and out of an alley on the op- posite side of the street, and a little to the west, rushed fully three hundred more, the leaders carrying a rope and several sledge- hammers, with which to accomplish their work. As the mob made the rush toward the jail they yelled like savages. A squad of policemen stationed on the steps were whisked to one side as though they were so many straws. The mob went direct to the side entrance. When entrance was gained there was a wild rush and the hallway was filled with excited men. Sheriff Vannest appealed to them to dis- perse. The entrance to the corridor is §rst protected by a heavy sheet-iron door. The Ieck was broken off with a few blows, and there remained the heavy grating. Then it was that the guards, who were in that portion, began to fire. The guards said no shot was fired by them until the attacking party fired. Henry Mutschler, the first man killed, was the one who carried the rope. Then Christian Matz received a bullet through his heart. This awed the would-be lynch- ers, and they left, cursing wilder than ever. Vic Vindone, a young Italian, left with the intention of getting dynamite, but he never put in an appearance afterward. While in the midst of the attack Vindone rushed upon a daughter of the sheriff and threatened to kill her. Another fellow held a revolver close to the heart of Andrew Greer, a one-armed son-in-law of the sheriff, and pulled the trigger, but it missed fire, and the next instant the one fist of Greer felled the would-be assassin to the floor. The sheriff's family were upstairs, and one of the mob seeing them at the head of the st. rushed viciously at them, but some one threw him headlong to the bottom. Between 3 and 4 o'clock, after the mob had movcd further down the street, the prisoner was taken through a side door and then to a side alley, where a carriage was in waiting. Police Captain Falkner and Officer Sweeney took him to Sandusky county as fast as the horses could carry them. ee The Board of Trade. ' The annual meeting of the board of trade will be heid, in accordance with the by-laws, the evening of Monday, November 11. At this meeting the officers will present their reports for the past year, while a summary of the work done by the several standing committees and the!r recommendations will is ‘ore the members. In view of t has been impossible hereto- nnual meeting, the board ors have decided to dispense with om this year. Such reports will, be care fully considered by the di ‘> ana brought before the board of le at subsequent meetings. One of the most important features of the meeting will be the election of ten directors of the board of trade to serve for the next ensuing term of three years. The by-laws require that nominations for directors must be posted on the bulletin board in the board of trade rooms, Ames building, 1410 G street, at least ten days prior to the meeting. aes Admission to the Bar. The examining committee of the District Bar Association examined Saturday forty- three applicants for admission to the bar of the District Supreme Court. The exam- ion was held at the rooms of the civil ion, and it is understood that a great majority of the applicants passed a S| ful examination, THE BOWLING LEAGUE It Has Organized for the Coming Season. WILL CONSIST OF ‘THREE CLUBS Pre! minary Games Have Already Been Played. MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL The District Amateur Bowling League has been reorganized for the season of 1895-96, and third annual tournament. The ieague, as now organized, is com- posed of the Carroll Institute, the Young Men’s Catholic Club and the Washington Athletic Club, and the officers and dele- gates are: Francis A. W. Van Reuth, Y. M. Cc. C., president; Charles Howison, W. A. C., vice president; Anthony F. Rice, C. I., sec- retary-treasurer. Delegates: Carroll Insti- tute, Anthony F. Rice, Albert Schulteis and Jeseph Brazerol; Young Men's Catholic Club, Francis A. W. Van Reuth, Jos. F. Hill and Bernard Lehman, and the Wash- ington Athletic Club, Charles Howison, Fred Litchfield and James Martin. The season's schedule calls for forty-e’sht games, and the contest will open Tuesday evening, November 19, at the Young Men’s Catholic Club with the team of the Carroll Institute as the opponents. ch magch will consist of two games an evening. The bowling rules of the previous tourna- ments will be observed with but one slight innovaticn, and that is this: In case a howler does not make a “strike” or a “spare” in a “fram he will be allowed to roll only two balls in that frame. As a matter of fact, this rule is of little or no consequence to an expert bowler, or even a fairly good bowler, for if he succeeds in making in each frame (ten in all) a strike cr a spare he | nothing whatever. Itis in the frame in which he “breaks” where he stands to lose the pins left Standing after rolling two balls. A good bowler in prac- tice will not average more than two or three “breaks” to a game. The league has made an important and business-like -amenament to its by-laws, which is to the effect that hereafter no bowling team will be admitted to the league which does not represent a bona tide club, properly organized in every par- ticular, and the members of which must have the exclusive use and control of its club all For this season the league does assured- ly start out with bright prospec All the clubs will have preliminary con- tests to determine the personnel of the teams, which will continue for two or three weeks to come. These contests are show- ing up in a more spirited manner than ever before, It is safe to predict that sev- eral teams will have- one or more new bowlers on each to face the “foot line” on opening nigh’ ‘The preliminary contests now going on at the Carroll Institute are decidedly in- teresting, as the aspirants are numerous and enthusiastic, and well they the institute has just completed a of up-to-date alleys.

He Took Third Money Out of Fifty- One Entries at Baltimore. The members of the Capital City Club of this city are congratulating themselyes over the fact that one of their number tinguished himself in the recent bandicap shoot at Baltimore, killing of the 25 birds in that event. In this event Gilbert of Iver Lake, Tow and Chas. Macalester of Philadelphia, P: killed all of their birds—25.

Wm. Wagner of the Capital City Gun Club and Mes Brewer, King and Coe tied on 24 out of 25, and were ordered to shoot off th ie, to de- cide the ner of third mon ). Brew- er and King soon dropped out, and the race for the third place between Coe and Wag- her not decided until birds had been killed. Wagner killed straight and Coe missed his fifteenth bird, which gave Wag- rer third place and the mone ‘There were fifty-one entries in the cham- pionship event, embracing the best live bird shots in the country, and Mr. Wagner's victory is a creditable one. During the turnament he shot at 127 birds and killed all of them but 8, giving him an average of over ® per cent. STRONG They Show With the Prince- ton and Yale Elevens. The most notable feature of the present foot ball season is the strength shown by the athletic clubs. Neither the Princeton nor the Orange Athletic Club were able to score in the foot ball game at Orange, N. J., Saturday. Princeton did not have out her best team, but the players strug- fled hard against the strong Orange team. Notwithstanding a fumble or two, young Poe did great work at quarter, and his gain of twenty-five yards in the second half on a clever little double pass was the feature of the game. Rhodes and Hearne did some great tackling, and here, too, Poe got in some fine work. Neither Yale nor Boston Athletic Asso- ciation were able to score at New Haven Saturday. Yale was outclassed by an average of twenty pounds in the line, but stopped the flying interference well. Her interfereuce on tne offensive, however, was badly broken up. For Yale Chadwick, Jer- rens and Benjamin put up a star game, and Anthony, Curtis and Bert Waters did the hest work for Boston. Yale gained more ground than Boston Athletic Association, and should have scored, the game ending with tne ball on Boston's one-yard line. Cornell went down before the heavier and stronger Harvard eleven Saturday by a score of 25 to0. Cornell was badly defeated, but they made a game fight and played pluckily from start to finis It was a clean game, without slugging or brutality, and the new rules; on their first real trial of the year, worked like a charm. The University of Pennsylvania foot ball team defeated the Lafayette eleven Satur- day at Philadelphia by the score of 30 to 0 in two halves of thirty and twent minutes. In the first half the red and blue scored 2) points on three touchdow goals and a safe two touchdowns and one goal. The tendance was 1,000 persons. Yesterd. game was decidedly the hardest the s old Pennsylvania had had to play, and they were less fit to enter a hard battle than at any time during the foot ball season. Other saturday Games.

Atlantic AssdriAtion to Be in the Field Next Year. There will be 2 new minor league in the field next seasdf,"the Atlantic Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs. President Young of the national board has granted protection to thé mew-comer for certain ter- ritory for a stated period, and the work of organization will be rapidly pushed. An eight-club jeague is under advisement, but it is probable.that when the season is opened six clubs will be on the roll. New- ark, Paterson, Jersey City, New Haven, Wilmington, Camden, Trenton and Bridge- port are the towns among which the fran- chises will be distributed. The Atlantic is being backed by prom- inent western managers who are willing to put up their money on the chance that the cities named want first-class twenty-five- cent ball. D. A. Long, manager of last sea- son’s Toledo club; G. E. Ellis, owner of the Grand Rapids club, and W. S. Wright, inan- ager of the Grand Rapids club, are the prin- cipal promoters. Sam Crane, the famous ex-player, has been elected president of ihe new organization. CROKER PAYs #25,000 FOR A HORSE. Purchase of Lucky Baldwin's Famous Rel El Santa Anita. It is announced in St. Louis that Rey El Santa Anita, owned by “Lucky” Buldwin, has been sold to Richard Croker of New York for $25,000, This statement is made by W. B. Sink, jr., Baldwin's trainer. FUN AT A SMOKER. A Delightful Entertainment at the Columbia Athletic Club House. .There was a large attendance at Colum- Via Athletic Club smoker Saturday night and an enjoyable program was given by scme talented people. Secretary Alex. Shaw presided in the absence of Dr. W. R. King and announced the numbers. Those who did the entertaining were the Dixie Quartet, composed of Messrs. Wallace Orme, F. H. Poston, John Tyler and George T. Cox; Mr. Elmo Jasper, the tenor; Mr. W. F. Morrow, the pianist; Mr. George O'Connor, in character songs, and Mr. Rob- ert Bruce, in a monologue sketch. It takes rothing from the enjoyment these gentle- men affcrded to particularize Mr. Samuel Ireland’s appearance as the feature of the evening. This rare raconteur and admir- able mimic kept the party in a roar with his ellent stories and humorous recita- tions. Earlier in the evening the press commit- tee held an important meeting, at which all the preliminaries regarding the Winged Ar row, which will be published nightly during the December carnival, were completed and its management and scope virtually decided cn. The committee on music and entertain- ment also held a meeting and made further arrangements for unique and attractive features during the carnival.
