The foot ball game between the teams of the University of Georgetown and the Uni- versity of Virginia at Charlottesville, Saturday was awarded to the former by 10 to 0. After twenty-two minutes’ play the Virginians refused to accept a decision of the referee. The trouble arose over a forty- yard run to a touchdown, made by Murphy of the Georgetown team. Virginia claimed that Murphy was off side. The referce said that after leaving Fullback Ke foot on a punt the ball struck one ot ine Vir- ginia men, and so put the whole George- town team on side. News of the result reached here about 7 o'clock Saturday evening, and when the train drew in at 11:2) about 500 studenis were in waiting with a brass band and a coach for the Georgetown team. The rector of the college made the players a cordiat spech of congratulation.

We do not believe the receivers defaulted in the payment of interest, except under most dire ne it nd so ng as there was no de- fault in the payment of interest on your bonds, or in the performance of the other a undertakings of the mortgage, there was pt any attack on t integrity of the mortgage apart from any defwult, and the complications of the present receivership, as well as the novel suggestion of a ‘neu- tral’ tru ted necessity for constant ind Vigorous ection.” The rumor printed a few days ago in some papers that the receivers of the Balti- more and Ohio had secured a controlling terest in the Wilmington and Northern rail- read, with which line the Baltimore and Ohio has had a traffic arrangement for many has proved’iunteue, and the official announcement wes made a day or two since that the Phi ing Railroad Company bas obtained con- trol of the Wilmington anid Northern rail road by purchase of a majorityiof the stock of that company. fn For several weeks past it has been ru- mored that the holdings af Col.
