The proposed intercollegiate eight-oared race between Pennsyivania, Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Columbia still hangs fire. A member of Pennsylvania’s rowing commit- tee said yesterday that he did not think Yale would cofve in. Acvording to Prof. H. S. White of Cornell there will be two races, one on June 26 be- tween Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cor- nell and another between Harvard and Cor- tell. This is not the popular impression. It has generally been believed that a four- crew race was pretty certain, and a race, including Yale, was hoped for. There is talk of a race between Yale and Oxford, but it fs nothing but talk. The great trouble in arranging boat races with English university crews is that the for- eign crews go out of training immediately after the Oxford-Cambridge race at Easter. Toe ask them to remain in training several months is considerable. It is a fact that many university oarsmen keep themselves in condition to row in the Henley regatia in the latter part of June or early in July, but the two university crews do not. The undergraduate sentiment at Yale, it is said, is in favor of a five-crew race, but the alumni wil! likely again overrule them, as they have done before. During the holi- days a man prominent in rowing matters at Penrsylvania interviewed the captain of Yale's crew. Yale's captain expressed him- self as willing and desirous of going into the race with the other colleges, but said that those in athletic authority at Yale viewed the matter in a different light and peated disinclined to enter into the con- est. Every preparation has been put in readi- ness for the Cornell crew, who began train- ing yesterday. Courtney has put the ma- chines in readiness for the men as far as the appliances go, and is much pleased with the ready response to the call for can- didates for the freshman and ‘varsity crews. Never was there such an abund- ance of good rraterial as they have this year. Of the Henley crew five are back in the university. Of the Henley substitutes there are Hamilton and Bentley, both port men. Only two men of the Pough- Keepsie are out of college this year. The captain of the crew, F. W. Free- bern, "97, is one of the best oarsmen Cor- tell has ever produced. The Pennsylvania University crew will commence training January 20.

Five Inter-University Games to Be Played Between the Two Colleges. Final arrangements have been made by Mr. F. W. Moore of Harvard and Mr. J. J. Elliot of Princeton, president of their re- spective base ball associations, for a series of. five games, to be played next spring. Since the breach with Yale, Harvard has looked to Princeton in completing her Schedule, and some weeks ago took the in- itiative in arranging for games. The Prince- ton base balk management decided to re- duce the number of their games with minor colleges and gave Harvard five of their open dates. The following is the schedule: May 9, at Princetcn; May 30, at Cambridge; June 10, at Princeton; June 18, at Cambridge; June 27, on neutral grounds in case of a tie. With five games scheduled with boch Yale and Harvard Princeton has every reason to look for the most brilliant season in her atheletic history. The team will be com- posed Jargely of veterans and promises to be especially strong in the box, with Alt- man, Wilson, Easton, Jayne and Bradley to work the points. The present agree- ment with Harvard is one of the several results brought about by the Yale-Harvard imbroglio, which has operated to Prince- ton’s advantage. Horse Owners’ Hard Times. From the Baltimore Sun. Several persons who were interasted in the running races which have just ceased in Wirginia near Washington, D. C., have come to Baitimore. They say it Is going to be a hard winter, indeed, for the horse owners there, as money is very scarce among them. The gates of the Alexander Island track are sald to be locked by order of the superintendent, and owners would not be allowed to remove their horses even if they had the money to do it with, for attachments for feed and other bills are said to be flying tiickly around. Those who have watched the racing said it was suicidal for owners to have gone there unless they were so ‘yell fixed finan- claliy that they could race for fun. The purses ruled at about $100. By the time this was divided into three parts and the jockeys were paid even the race winners were virtually losers. There nas been such a scarcity of money that a twenty-dollar bet would give the bookmakers a chill and CSS suspicion toward the horse that was Many of the horsemen still have faith in their horses and are positive that they would retrieve their falien fortunes if they could only get them to St. Louis, Mo.,where @ race meeting is in progress, but even were the stable doors left open and the herses released from attachment, so far as the stranded owners are concerned, the races may as wel: be in Japan. Y. M. C. C. WON TWo. Three Games Bowled With the Cairo Team. A friendly set of tenpin games was bowled last night between the Arions and the Y. M. C. C. on the Cairo alleys. The Y. M. C.

The Fight Between the Brewers and District Assembly 66. The oily change in the situation as re- gards the fight between District Assembly No. 66, K. of L., and the brewers since the close of the report as published in The Star of yesterday is that the owners of the various breweries have been notified by the executive board of D. A. 66 that unless the difficulties were settled by noon today and the locked-out men taken back into the employ of the companies, the union en- gineers in the breweries would be called cut. As the trouble was still on at that hour, it is supposed the threat will be car- Tied into effect this afternoon. Brewers who were spoken to on the sub- ject said that their statement of the con- Uition of affairs was given in The Star of yesterday and morning papers of today, and that they are willing to now let the} public be the judges of the entire matter. The Bakers’ Drivers’ Assembly at their meeting last night unanimously indorsed the action of D. A. 66, K. of L., in their contest with the brewers. The officers for the ensuing term were installed and the initiation fee increased. The following officers of Lathers’ Assem- bly, K. of L., to serve for the ensuing six months, were installed at the meeting held last night: Master workman, George Sloan; worthy foreman, Edward Raynor; worthy inspector, John Betty; financial secretary, John Ainsworth; treasurer, William Horan; recording secretary, D. D. Hall; statisti- cian, William Clark. SSS AWAY BELOW ZERO. Coldest Weather Ever Known in Central New York. Central New York suffered the lowest temperature in its experience yesterday. In the central portion of Syracuse. the thermometcrs sgreed at about 82 below zero. On College Hill, where Syracuse University is located, the mercury touch- ed 36 below, and one or two reports have Indicated 88 below. All through the sec- tion about the same temperature prevailed, and much suffering has been experienced. The coldest weather in years was experi- enced at Catskill, the mercury falling from 16 to 22 degrees below zero. The Hudson river, which had reopened on December 23, is again frozen over. Not an inch of snow, all told, has fallen to date. The mercury fell to 15 below zero at Kingston, with a strong northwest wind blowing.. The schools were closed on ac- count of the cold. There is no snow, and farm crops are in danger. This is the cold- est weather without snow known in many years. The river is tightly frozen over from shore to shore, the ice being several inches thick. ‘The Homer Rardall line of steamers laid up last night for the winter, thus ending the season on the Hudson. a Fatal Factory Explosion. The fertilizer factory of the United States and Canada degressing works, Williams- burg, N. Y., blew up yesterday. There were over twenty-five men employed in the fac- tory. Some of them got out safely, but half an hour after the explosion it was be- lieved that there were at least five bodies in_the ru‘ns. Two men were taken out unconscious and removed to St. Catherine’s Hosplral. The list of killed and injured is as fol- lows: An unknown man burnel beyond recognition; Wm.Miller, badiy burned about the face, head and body by boiling cil; Geo. Miller, lacerated wounds of the scalp and face and severe shock; Alfred Parker, fore- man, severe scalp wound and shock. The injured wil) recover. ———— Uprising of Navajo Indians. Intelligence of an uprising of Navajo In- dians near Flagstaff, Ariz. reched Albu- querque, N. M., yesterday afternoon. The news was brought to Flagstaff by a cow- boy, who said the Indians had revolted against the whites and that a band of twenty-five of the redskins had a gang of cowboys corralled at a trading post forty- five miles east of the town. He believed that if assistance was not sent at once the whites would be massacred. Sheriff Cameron at once organized a posse and left Flaggstaff for the scene.of the trouble. The Indians claim that the cowboys have been stealing their ponies and disposing of them at Flagstaff.

Carne suggested that a register be placed in the new rooms, and that all strangers be requested to register. Mr, A. D. Brockett wanted to know how, under the present fire alarm system, a citi-~ zen was to know where the fire was when the bells gave the alarm, and suggested that the league take some action, and have an improved fire alarm system placed in the city. Mr. Ruben suggested that the league recommend te the city council that instead of buying another steamer, that a chemical engine be secured, as that would save the citizens hundreds of dollars annually, owing to the damage done to property by water.

Judge Hagner’s Decision im the Mat- ter of Mrs. Breese’s Will. Judge Hagner, in Equity Court No. 2, to- Gay decided that under the will of the late Emma L. Breese, the Children’s Hospital and Garfield Memorial Hospital are en- titled to receive from the estate the sums of $5,000 and $50,000, respectively. Mrs. Breese died at Philadelphia July 30, 1802, and her will appointed her sisters, Charlotte Bostwick of Philadelphia, and Anna Matilda Maulsby, of this city, to be executrices in trust of the estate. This will was dated March 20, 1888, and in a letter addressed to her sisters, Janu- ary 12, 1891, Mrs. Breese declared that $5,000 should be given to the Children’s Hospital for its endowment fund, interest only to be used, and that $50,000 should be used for the construction and endowment of a free Gynecian hospital for poor and destitute women, to be bullt on the Gar- field Hospital grounds as a branch of that hespital, and to be known as “The Louisa Lovett Fletcher Free Gynecian Hospital.” Mrs. Maulsby and Mrs. Reese died the same day, Mrs. Maulsby dying a few hours after her sister passed away. Mrs, Maulsby be- queathed her estate to her sisters, Mrs. Breese and Mrs. Bostwick, making them executrices. Mrs. Bostwick declined to serve, and Louisa D. Lovett and Ida Car- son were granted letters of administration. The executrices received in course of time, it Is said, three sums from the estate of Mrs. Breese, $12,793, $12,500 and $13,418.64, respectively, and the two hospitals, the Ist of last August, petitioned the court to t™make the respective bequests to them charges upon the estate, and that the ex- ecutrices account to them for such sums and for any others hereafter received. The executrices, through their attorney, Mr. John Ridout, demurred to the petition, contending, among other things, that the petitioners had not therein shown them- selves to be entitled to the rellfef sought by them. Judg> Hagner overruled the de- murrer, sustaining the contentions of Mr. Reginald Fendall and Mr. Jos. K. McCam- mon, counsel for the hospitals, in a decision which, after reviewing the circumstances of the letter and its intents, concludes as follows: “The contentions that the provisions of the letter are merely precatory cannot be sustained. The subject is certain and the object is sufficiently certain. “As the prayer of the bill is merely for relief as to such sums as the defendants, as administratrices ¢. of Mrs. Maulsby have received, and may receive from the estate of Mrs. Breese, with knowledge of the pro- visions of the will, and of the letter, it was defendants appealed to in the present case as to what they have done and permit- ted, and a decree against them will be lim- ited to the amounts they have received and may hereafter receive. “I will give leave to the defendants to plead over or will decree relief, as may be desired by the defendants.” ——_—-—— MORE LIQUOR LICENSES.

Enthusiastic interest was taken in the work, and the unusual spec- tacle was witnessed of one portion of the chorus applauding the other. -The ladies clapped the male voices after they had sung the dirge of Hebrew mourners, and the compliment was returned when the ladies’ chorus was sung. Dr. Frank T. Howe, vice president of the society, and D. G. Pfeiffer, chairman of the finance committee, made short talks to the members in explanation of the proposed pians of the board of directors. It is thought advisable to have a series of papers on musical subjects read before the society by musical authorities, not only to increase the-interest and information of the members of ‘he society, but to form a nucleus for a musical library, which it has long been the desire of the board of direc- tors to form. The plan received the hearty approva: of the members, and steps will at once be taken for the inauguration of the scheme. ————_. The National Rifles. The National Rifles faced the targets at the gallery range, ‘National Guard Armory, last evening. The shooting was at the 200- yard range, ten shdts each. The total scores made by each contestant were very creditable, indeed, for new beginners, a majority of the company making more than 85 out of a possible fifty, and several reached the very creditable score of 46. Prior to going to the gallery to shoot the company had a short drill at its armory, which was witnessed by Paymaster Gen. eral Stanton, U. 8. A. a veteran member of the National Rifles, and Senator Shoup of Idaho, both of whom made a few pleas- ant and encouraging remarks to the com- pany, and, in return, received the well known “Hi! Hi!” yell of the rifles. They then fell in with the ccmmand and were escorted to the National Guard gallery range, where they became interested spec- tators of the company’s practice. On the return of the rifles to the armory, a meet- ing of the recently elected board of di- rectors was held and duly organized by the election of the following officers: Pres- ident, James F. Oyster; vice president, Wm. P. Boteler; secretary, Edward P. Hai rington; treasurer, Henry P. Simpso. financial agent, George W. Evans; exec tive committee, George W. Evans, chat man; Thomas A.
