The game was a stubborn, hard- fought contest, and the two teams were most evenly matched in every y. Neither side was able to go through the opposing line to any great extent, while gains around the end, with a few exceptions, did not give any mere ground than going through the center. Two twenty-five-minute halv were played, and, although the ball w several times in ‘a dangerous position, a lucky run or a fumble would give the other side the advantage, and the consequent gain of a few yards. For the Potomacs Sears and Duff: quarter-back and left half-back, remarkable playing, and were res for most of the spirit which the wearers of the Princeton colors put into the game. Both bucked the line in good shape, and the gains around the end were mostly made by the little left half. Clark, the full-bac! the ved a pretty around thi Brown, Tindall, end were added features. Geoghegan and Avis did the work for the Orients, and put up an emely_ good game of foot ball.

Sheriff Pillard Collared Fits and a Brother Officer as Well. Sheriff Dillard and deputies of Miller county, who left Texarkana yesterday af- ternoon at 3:30 o'clock, succeeded in bagging the pugilistic game they were after. Fitz- simmons and his trainer were arrested by them and taken off their train at Fulton. A special train was telegraphed for to bring the officers and pugilists back to Texarkana and at 5 o'clock a train left for that purpuse. They arrived about 7:15 o'clock, and the sheriff and his deputies, with Fitzsimmons and Julian under arrest, left Texarkana last night for Little Rock. They took this route to avoid any trouble that might arise at Malvern if the Iron Mountain route was used. The Associated Pre: terrogated Fitzsimmons and Julian while were at Texarkana.

They de- clared Corbett was not in condition now, and hence they tried to put it off. Fitz said he was in fine trim, and felt con- fident of easily knocking out Corbett. He had trained continuously and was never in finer form. Fitz and Julian will claim the 2,500 forfeit today if they can get through to Hot Springs. Both appeared in good humor, although under arrest, and said it was useless to fret over such a thing, as it was unavoidable on their part. The trial of their cases, un- der warrant issued by Chancery Judge Mar- tin at Little Rock, will be held today. Sheriff Houpt of Hot Springs, who sought to carry Fitzsimmons and Julian through to that city under the guise of arrest, was lost in the shuffle when he disputed Sheriff Dillard's authority. The latter arrested him on the Iron Mount- ain train, but when the crowd got off at Fulton, Houpt remained aboard and got off at Hope, the next station above, where he telegraphed Dillard that he was not trying to get away and would come back on the first train and give himself up. Sheriff Dillard was assisted by the deputy sheriff of Little Rock, and every move was made according to written instructions from Governor Clarke. The governor ordered Sheriff Dillard and Deputy Heard to get a big posse of men to take Fitzsimmons at all hazards and at any cost and produce him before Judge Martin at Little Rock as soon as possible after arresting him. THE COLUMBIA CARNIVAL. Many Additional idences of Its Proxpective Success Submitted. Additional evidences of the vigor and spirit with which the members of the Co- lumbia Athletic Club and the general pub- lic are entering into the purpose to make the carnival in December a success were presented at the regular meeting of the executive cormittee held last night at the b house.

Steinmetz, Ale ander Shaw, Howard Perry, Edwin B. Hay and Dr. Wm. R. King. Mr. Hay reported that over 150 ladies had already signitied their pleasure to assist at the carnival, and requested other members to secure additional volunteers. He also an- rounced that a meeting would be called shcrtly at the Arlington Hotel, when the ladies’ committee would be organized. The’ following gentlemen were added to committee: W. E.

Bran- denburg, Alexander P. Shaw, J. Barton Miller,. M. Hatmon and Harry C. Mosher. The refreshment committee was abolished and its duties given to the committee on booths. Upon the recommendation of Dr. W. R. King of the entertainment committee it was decided to appoint special nights for the reception of the various mili cial and athletic organizations of this city and Baltimore, including the mili compa- the boat and athletic clubs, and Grand Confederate Veterans, the Saenger- 1, the Elks and the Ariel Boat Club of 3altimore and the Baltimore Athletic Club. It was also decided to award bicy- cles to the lady and gentleman ‘Hing the la t mumber of season tickets to the carnival, and Mr. Shaw, who made this stggestion, also recommended a system of voting to be used in connection with such tickets. Chairman Hibbs of the pre: reported upon the progr b werd the publication of a nightly paper Curing the carnival and announced that it would be known as the Winged Arrow, and that Mr. Clusky Cromwell had been invited to conduct it.

The feature of the meeting was to be the pres- ence cf United States Senator David B. Hill, who was to make a long address. The meeting was presided over by Charles Tracey, a personal friend of President Cleveland. Waile the secretary was read- ing the usual number of regrets, Senator Hill caused a sensation by reading this one: if “EXECUTIVE MANSION, “WASHINGTON, D. C., Octover 30. “Gen.

GROVER CLEVELAND.” When the vast audience of over 3,000 peo- ple had recovered from the surprise that the telegram seemed to cause there was a cheer that very nearly rent the building in twain, and this continued for some -nin- utes. Senator Hill smiled and joined in the ap- plause with a hearty good will, and this seemed to encourage the audience to renew it again and again. Senator Hill was reczivel with vociferous applause when he arose to speak. In a great measure he repeated his New York speech upon the issues of the campaign. SE Launching a Pingree 1900 Boom.

The Public Has the Right, He Says, to Know Whether a Practitioner is Competent Under the Law. This morning in the Police Court Judge Miller announced that he was ready to decide the tooth-pulling case, in which Dr. Frank Burke was charged with en- gaging in the business of dentistry without being registered or having a right under the law to practice. Dr. Burke had charge of the infirmary connected with the Na- tional Homeopathic Medical College, and during the summer he extracted teeth. When the case came up Mr. Campbell Carrington, who represented, the defendant, said that the directors of the college de- sired to be heard, for the reason that they believe the fight is being made against the college and not against Dr. burke. At the trial of the case Tuesday morning it was shown chat Dr. Burke had not registered because he had not taken the full course of three years as required by the law. His application ade to the board of den was refused. Mr. E. B. Hay, who appeared in the case with Mr. Carrington today, told the court what he knew of the pi e in other colleges and universities. se Miller rcad the law in the case and red to the terms of the charter. Un- the terms of the charter the judge could not give degree in dentistry. The charter, he mentioned nothing of a chair of den- said he thought the colleg a said he knew that other col- had established den- having their charte mended, and he they were conferrin. degrees. Dentistry, argued the counsel, is an adjunct to medicine. Jndge Miller, commenting on the*case, said the most important question in the case is whether or not this is a dental col- lexe. Under the law, he said, a physician may practice dentistry, but the law gives a ph jan’s student no such right. The que n of Dr. Burke’s competency does not figure in the case. He may be the most ex ed and efficient dentist in the city ill have no standing in the law. If $s the right to persons to prac- timed, then a man with two day: €xperience could cpen an office as a stu- cent of some reputable dentist and prac- tice on his own hook.

Notwithstanding the ridicule and opposi- tion, he seems to have brought about some very good results, and as an evidence that the citizens appreciate his efforts the papers emnounce his renomination by an over- whelming majority.

It is probable that the success of mu- nicipal ownership of the street railways in Toronto, adopted a couple of years ago, has had its influence in Detroit, as it doubtless will elsewhere when public attention is at- tracted to it and kindred subjects. As further illustrating the public benefits of this system of municipal ownership, I call attention to the fact that while we pay $146, and until 1894 $152.50, per year for electric are lights of a nominal 1,200-candle power (really not over 700), in South Nor- walk the municipality has built its own electric plant, and, according to the official report for last year, after paying interest on its cost, the entire expense of oper- ating it and allowing 5 per cent for de- preciation, they furnished are lights of from 1,400 to 2,000 nominal candle power at an average during the past two years of $61.91. There are today over one hundred towns and cities in the United States which own their electric Nght plants, with results equally beneficial to the public, and yet the magazines and papers published in the interest of corporations are tilled with articles by pald writers attempting, by cooked-up statements, tc prove that a mu- nicipality cannot furnish the public as cheaply as the private companies. The time is approaching, however, when an intelligent public will no longer be fooled by such statements. The principal want is an investigation by the public, and ing public. One of the features of the ag- gregation, and which is changed nightly, is the cake walk. This part of the show never fails to draw out the enthusiasm of the audience.
