- CHRISTIAN KICKERS BEATEN. Cmaka Athletic Olub Win from the You Men's Obristian Asscciation Team, STRONG GAME OF THE ATHLETIC TEAM. ] lowa and Karsas Indulge in a Hard Tussle at Kansas City— Lincoln Wine from Doane Easily: The Omaha Athletic club and the Young Men’s Chiristian association foot ball teams met in sanguinary battlo at the ball park yostorday afternoon in tha presence of a nien crowd of enthuslastic lovers of the game The Athletic elub boys played a snapr vigorous, ageressive game, and by dint of tremendous exertion succeeded in shutting out their opponents to the tunc of 16 to 0. The game ovened with the Young Men’s Christian associations having the ball. They gained about four yards by full back comin out from the end of tho V, after which thes tined up and mado a number of short gains around the ends. After they had forced the ball to_the twenty-five vard live, they lost the ball, on the fourth down, to the Athletic boys. Tufeld was given the ball and by the clever blocking off by Brainard, Cook and Wilson, gained several vards by s brilliant run around the right end. After several un- successful attempts to buck the center, tho ball went to the Young blen’s Christian sociation cohorts on tho fourth down, the Omaha Athletic club team having recoverca its lost ground, with a vard or twoin addi- tion. Sheldon made repeated futile attempts to forge through the center, by grace of Thomas’ blocking off, but finally resorted to a play around tho left end, gaining several yards thoroby. Ihis, however, was all thoy could nccomplish, and after their downs resorted 10 kicking the ball, ¥'uil Back Foreman tfia ing a beautiful kick of thirty yards, but lost the ball to the Omatia Athlotic ciub. After this the Athletic boys lined up in better shape, and pl the game with much more vim, cach man attending to his duties in o way that was highly creditable, cousidering their meager trainiug. Athletic €lub Scores Captain Wilson ana his men from this on torced the ball steadily down the field by ‘magnificent short rusties, until the twenty-five yurd line was bridged, when they took (o the wedge, playing 1t with rapidity and success. Lieutenant Wright, who was playing right Dnalf back, got possession and by au elegant sprint scored the first touch down. There was no delay in bringing out the ball aguin and Tufeld kicked a goal, leaving the score 6to 0 in favor of the Omaha Athletic club. Several scrimmages followed, the ball was agaln forced intothe Young Men’s Chris- tian association’s territory, wten Fred Proston, tho reforee, and who by the way is @ Yale graduate and foot ball player, callea time tor the first half. Ten minutes rest ana the two teams wero at it hard agam. A trifle piqued the Young Men’s Christian association played with even greater zeal and detesmination than ever, and for ton minutes neitser side could gan any advantage. Finally, however, by su- erior skill and team worlk, the Omaha Ath- etic clubs forced the ball down tne ficld. The V was again brought into requisition for these trials without a vantago being at- tained, but on the fourth trial they gobbled up at least seven yards, but could get no further, and on the fourth down the Young Men’s Christian associations ook the ball. At this juncture Referec Pr Young Men’s Christian associations filteen yards for off-side play and foul tackling. They tried strenuously to increase their van- tage by savage rushes through tho center, but invariably met with aefeat. Aftor the third down. Foreman kicked the ball, scoring fully thirty vards. Tuffield made a splendid pick-up and carried the ball back fully fifteen yards before he was downed. Eosy from This Out. At this point the Omaha Athletic club worked the old V with great success, and made good runs around both ends. When tho ten-yard line was gainod a number of the Young Men’s Christian association cloven, under the impression that Cooke had the ball, started after him, while Hoagland with Lieu- tenant Wright and Tuffield blocking off for him, scorea the second touch down. Wilson failed to kick a goal. Scoro: Omaha Athletic club, Men's Christian association, 0. After a number of exciting serimmages, in which® the success of the rush lines was about equally balanced, the Omaha Athlotic club forced the pal! down the field, and by the aid of surprising team work, Hoasiand succeeded in making another touch down, the blocking of Cooke, Redick and Patrick in this play resombling that of old profession- als. The ball was then orought out, an Tufela kicked a goal, making the score | t0 0. ‘The Young Men’s Christian association after this played with tho energy of wild men, but their most superhuman efforts all ‘went for naught, for when time was called for the wind-up, tho bail was well over into their domain.

[Copyrigh'ed 1891 by James Gordm Benne!t.) Parig, Dec. 4.—[New York Horald Cable Special to Tar Bre|—The pivot of Kuropean politics is still the vatican. The moderate attitude of tho pope in tha matter of the French hishops has attracted- much attention. Count Kaluoky's femark tothe Hungarian aeputies that the Roman question was reopened has alsu not escaped notice, and sinco yesterday's sitting of the Italian chamber it is 1mpossible to doubt that tho Roman quostion is indeed once more on tho tapis. 1t 15 woll known that the triple alliance s not'in harmony on the sibject of XHome. There are differences, notably between Italy and Austria. Leo XIIL, who is a groat diplomat, takes advantage of thase misun- derstandiugs to wring concessions ot form from Italy while he makes concessions of fact to Austria. ‘I'he papal nuncio in P’aris has done his best lately to arouse M. Ribot to a seunse of tho temperate bearing of the pape with regard to tho bishops, and to convince the Krench minister of foreign affairs that this bearing was all the more deserving of acknowledg- ment, if it was romembered that the foes of France were making advaunces to the vatican. Tn support of this he mentioned the speech of Count Kalnoky. The French government has not been much affected by these appeals, It remains cold and will stick to the policy it has adopted. But there is renson to expect more excited action oo the part of Italy, who loses her head whenever tho vatican is meutioned. There oxists in Italy a strong party which thinks the law of guarantees that was drawa up in 1870 is useless. The party would take aavantago of the tirst European complication to tearup the laws and recapture Rome. Where France is Found. Ior two days past the diplomatic world has been much oceupied by papal questions. The pope acd his adversaries move slowly, but the more steadily. It must be mentioned too that in foreign affairs France, who has been called “the eldest daughter of the church,” is compelled to side with the vatican, She cannot afford to act as if Gambetta’s famous cry, “Le clericalismo voila Dl'enemie,” could serve beyoud his frontiers. The pope would err, however, if he fancied that he will wring any concessions from France in purely homo questions. Public opwion here is opposed to any such thing. Any weakness on the part of the eovernment might lead to a sop- aration of church and state, and who could say whether the cause of religion would gain by it! There ave plenty of people who pro- fess to think tnat it would solve the great in- ternal problem. As for tho external problem, that will bo solved on the dayof the grand reckoning, which the pope is trying so hard to postpone. The news which reached us from Germany all tends to prove that when the reckoning does’ come, delays will have only made it more effectual. Jfi('qr?* Bt CeRe, VICTORY OF ZTRE EARL End of England's Most SNensational Divorce Case. Loxpoy, Dec. 4.— Developments in the Rus- sell case Wednesday whetted appetites of the scandal lovers of London and the court room was crowded again today. The proceedings today were enlivened by a tilt between counsel 1n regard to the Roberts incident. During the argument tho presiding justice said he intended to get at the root of this matter. He declared itouglht to have been put into definite shape as a criminal charge or a charge of gross indecency. The earl’s re-direct examination was ro- sumed this morning. He said until the Wil- liams’ girl incident was brought out 1n court the story of his connection with her was not known at Teddington, where she lived, ex- cept by members of her family, She is still living at Teddington and no public reproach had attached to her. This closed the earl's testimony. Shephard, the earl's foouman, testified he never saw the countess crying. Tho eavl had always treated her as a gentleman should treat his wife, Sir Charles Russell theu summed up for tho defense. He said the case should never have been brought 1nto court, supported, us it was, by so many cases of grossly untrue evidencs : Sir Edward Clarke's address was charac- terized by the great emphasis he laid upon the tellng points in the evidence for peti- tioner. He declared, however, the evidence subwitted would have no effect upon the reputation of Prof. Roberts. The object of Countess Russell in faising the action was not to obtain money. Her chief reason was she wished to relieve herself of the obliga- tion of liviog with a man whose treatment nad led to their separati Reterring to entries in the earl's diar iv Kdward said they wer m favor of the . The earl admitted himself to be in the wrong. Sir Edward said he was glad that Earl Russell had an apportunity to deny the imputations connecting him in & disgraceful way with Prof. Roberts. 1t had been made quite clear by the evidence of himself and Prof. Roberts that there was no ground for the suggestion of improper re- lations between them. Sir Edward main- tained Sir Charles Russell wos responsible for bringing the story out. The count, had desirod 1t not to be mentioned. It was only when sho was pressed by questions put to her by Sir Charles Russell, on her cross ex- amination, that she connectod certain in- cidents with stories she had heard from members of the car's family and wrongly coustrued them, Justice Butt then summed up the evidence, occupying an hour and a quarter. Ho stated he did not ugree with Sir Charles Russell, thal the suit was only Instituted with the object of obtaining an wllowance, The case wus then given to the jury, who returned a verdict iu favorof Earl Russell. When the result was announced the ecarl's friends 1o the court room sprang to their foet and cheered heartily. Countess Russell was condemned to pay the costs of the action, which ara very heavy.

It noeds no special aiplomatic sagacity to perceive the Fronch government's game, Russia has declared hor intention to hold. aloof from any interference, but her uropean ally, acting for her, aims toinvolve England in hostile treatment of tho Chinese government, with which, ere long, England may find it advisable to concert comrmon ac- tion against a common, enemy. Lord Salis- bury replied to M. Ribot that there was no necessity for joint or any other interference in China. A committec of the cabinet, consisting o Mr. Balfour, Lora Ashbourne, Mr. Goschen and Mr. Jackson, is shaping the Irish local government blli.” Auother committee, includ- ing Mr. Goschen, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Balfour and Mr. Ritchie, presided over by Lord Salis- bury, is considering the proposed English laad bill. ' T'his system of cabinet committees is superseding the formal cabinet councils. “'he land bill will be ready for presenta- tion when parlisment opens. As 500 as the honse of commons opens the opposition will demand information as to whether the government will adhere to tho practice, established for a century, of dis- solving parhiament at tho end of the session or whether it will insist upon taking full advantage of the septennial act. If the ministars refuse tostate their intention tho liberals under the assent of the leaders will carry on obstructive tacties to the furthest possible extent, Mr, Goschen will not promote the bill giv— ing effect to the gold reserve scheme unless assured that 1t will pass without much oppo- sition, and the pian will be dropped unless it meets with general and speedy acceptance. T'he cheers with which the vevdict in the Russell case was received inside and outside the court were due to a revulsion of public feeling against the countess, as_unjustly try- ing to brund Earl Russell and Prof. Roberts. A number of college chums of tho earl crowded around and congratulated him and Prof. Koberts, who, judging from_the sceno presented by the exchange of cordialities, is heid in high esteem. The countess left be- fora the jury returned. There was a gencral impression during the trial that the countess, though of charming presence, was difficult to get along with as a wife. Resolutions before the Labor commission, anent barmatds’ hours of work and terms on which they are employed, are to the effect that many omployers make it a condition of the employment of barmaids that they shoula encourage immodest advances, Speciliccases were referred to wherd girls were oblized to choose betwetn immediate loss of place and submission to impropyr overtures from em- ployers. ‘I he whole tendoncy of theevidenco is against the employing of barmaids, except under strict legislative control.

Two brothers named Rissman became involved in a quarrel with a neighbor named Trobilet, and finally ouc of the brothers called Trobilet a Prussian, The litter was angry before, but calling him a Prussian threw him intoa frenzy, and the result was a terrible row. Trobilet's wifo and children saw he was gotting the worst of the unequal struggle and they rushed to his aid. Kuives were drawn on both sides, and when the gendarmes stopped the fight it was found that tho two Rissman brothers were badly cut.

PENSIONS—WIIO ARE ENTITLED. Soldiers—All soldiers of the United States who incurred disability of & permanent na- ture, whetner wound, injury or disease, while in the service or line of duty, are entitled to a pension at ratos varying from $1 to 72 per month, according to the nature and severity of thedisability. ADDITIONAL, Soldfers who draw a_pension for one or more disabilitics, ana are at the samo timo sufforing from other disabilities incurred in the sorvice and line of duty, may obtaiu ad ditional pension therefor, INCREASE UNDER OLD LAW. Soldiers pensioued at less than &0 per month, and wholly disabled for the perform- ance of manual labor by reason of disability on account of which they are pensioned, are e titied to fucreaso of pension to that amount per month, and if the disability is such that they reguire the regular aid and attendance of another per- son, they may obtain pension at the rate ot 2 por month. Any ponsioner under tho old law, whose disability has increased since date of the issue of his last pension certiticate, may ob tain an increase of pension proportionato to the incroase of his disability. ADDITIONAL NEW LAW, Soldiers pensioned at less than $12 moutl for disubility mcurred in the servi who are also suffering from otker disability of any nature, not dug to vicious habits, may obtain aduitional pension under the new aw. This pension commences from tbe date of filing the claim aud cannot exceed $12 per month, The new law is of special ad- vantage to this class of pensionors, for the reason that if they have a disability other than that for which they are pensionad, they may obtain additioual relief from date of fil- ing claim, and 1f, in the future, the disability for which they were orighally pensioned underthe old W Increases to sucii an extent as to_entitle them to more than $i2 per month, they may surrender their pension under the new law and resume the pension under the old law at sucn increased rate s may be proportionate to the degree of dis- ability at that time. Peunsioners at less than $12 per month, de- siring increase of pension, will find it to their advantage to apply under both the old aad new law, for the reason that any increase up 1o $12 per month will date from the day the claim is filed in the pension bureau, whereas a claim for increase under the old law, will secure increased pension auty from the date of examination, which, on account of the work in the pension buréau bemng very much delayed,is usually some moaths alter the date of filing the claim. INCREASE OF NEW LAW PENSION. Auy invalid pensioner undor the new law receiving iess than $12 per wonth may obtaln an increnso of pension whenever the disabil- ity on account of which he is pensioned in- creases fu severity toa material extent, or he may procure additional pension up to §12 per montn on account of aay new or edditional disability which ho has incurred since his last medical examination or which is not m- cluded in his present pension cortificnte. NEW Law. Any soldier of the United States who served ninety days or more in the war of the rebellion, and was honorably discharged, may obtain pension under the uew luw if now suf- fering Irom any disability of a permavent ne- ture, not due io vicious habits. This pen- sion will commence from date of filing the claim, and the rate of pension is from 8 to $12 per month, according to the degree of dis- ability for the performance of manual labor. Title to the pension is solely dependent upon a service of ninety days, an honorable discharge and the present existence of a disability, physical or mental, not due to vicious habits, which causes a partial inabil - ity to perform manual labor as a means of live- hihood, equal to the degree of disability re- quired to entitle a_pensioner under the old law to a pension of & per month or more. It @005 not matter what the disability is, if not due to vicious habits, whether wound, injury or disease, nor is the time and place of the origin or incurrence of the same in any way material, Title to pension under this law is nuo way dopendent upon the soldier’s pecuniary oi cumstances. The fact that heis able to per- form skilled or professional labor 1o such an extent as to enable him to earn a comfor able support, or the fact that he bas an in- come sufficient for his support, has no bear- ng upon his title to vension under this law WIDOWS, The widows of soldiors wio died from ais- ense, wound, or injury weurred jn the United States service are eatitled to #12 per month, aud 81 additional for each child under the agoe of 16 years, to date from the day of tho soldier’s death, oxcept in cases where the death occurred prior to March 10, 1585, when the rate is 85 per month up to said date and #12 per month thereafter. WIDOWS' NEW LAW. nThe widows of soldiers who served ninety days or more in the late war and were honor- ably discharged are eutitied to pension under the new 1w at the rate of $ per month, and #2additional for each child under the age of 16 yoars; provided, that the widow was mar- ried to the soldier prior to June 7, 15%), and is now dependent in whole or in part ou ner own labor for hor support. ‘This pension commences from the date of filing the application therefor, aud is payable whether the soldier's death as o aused by diseaso or injury incurred in the United States service or not. Widows may obtain pension under the new law peuding the settlement of thelc claims to pension under the old law without losing any rights which accrue to them under the oid law. If a widow recelves a pension under the new law, aud afterwards establishes hor right 10 a pension under the old law, she will recelve pension for the who e period from the date of the soldier's death, less th sion which bas been paid to her in the mean- time under the new law; in otber words. she will receive an aaditiousl $# por month for the whole of the period during which she drew pension under the new law, and in addi- tion thereto, penslon from the date the sol- dier died to the date of the commencemout of the new law pension, cHiLDRE Whenever asoldier or sailor of tno late war dies from causes originating in tho sery- ice und line of duty, leaving 1o widow, his children under sixteen yecars of age are en- titled to all the pension to which the widow per PAGES soldior's death, provided they have not suf cient income from sources other than their own lubor for their comfortable support, ex- cept that tne ponsion doas not commenco until the date of filing a claim therefor. PARENTS, The paronts of soldiors whodiod Inthe servico or aftorward from disease or injury, | orany cause originating in the sorvico and | lino of auty, may obtain_pension at tho rato of 812 por month. Provided, that the soi- dier loft no widow or child surviving bim, and that the parent is now wholly ¢* vu part dependent upon his or ner own labor for sup- port. The remarriage of thesoldier's mother does not bar bor from ponsion under the now law, if her husband 18 for any reason unable to support her comfortably, The fact that the soldior did or did not contribute to the support of his paronts dur- ing his lifetime, and the fact that the paronts were or wero not dependont upon the soldier at the time of nis aeatn, has no vea ing upon their titlo to pension undér the new lnw. DEPENDENCE, The dopartment has hold that & widow. child or paront is ‘‘dopendent” within ti meaning of tho law, 1f obliged to labor in any manual capacity for the purpose of obtaining a living, or 18 not in receipt of an income of #4100 or more per year from sources other than their own labor, The new law provides that the ponsion of childron who are parmanontly holpless shall contiaue during the poriod of such_helploss- ness, or the lifatimo of the child. This pr vision extends to cases of children who aro already on the ponsion roll undor eithor law. MEXICAN WA, Survivors of the Mexican war who were employed 1n the military or naval service of the United States for a period of sixty days, Or Were actuaily ¢ngaged in any oattie in said war, and honorably discharged, and who are now over the age of 63 years, or are subject to any disability for the performance of man- ual labor are entitled tow pension of §8 per month. Widows—The widows of survivors of the Mexican war are also entitled to pension at the rate of 8§ per month, provided that they bave not remarried, and are over the age of 02, orif under that age are suffering from any physical or wental disability, ov depend- ent upon others for support.

If there be no widow, or if the widow has re- married and her huspand is now living, title to the above bounty land warcant will vestin the children who wareeminors ot the $d duy of March, 1855, There are thousands of ex-soldiers, widows of soldiers, chiidren of soldiers, and purents of soldiers who are entitled to pension under the provision of the proseut pension laws, which are mora liberal and more generous than at any time horetofore. The claims of such will receive careful and diligent atten- tion, and may be prosceuted to settlemont with the least possibie delay by Tite Bee Brreav oF CLaiys, Beo Building, Omaha, Neb. HOW 7O FOR PENSIONS. Tue BEg AND Exasuxenr Braeav or CLaivs was originally organized for the special pur. pose of affording claimants vuder the Indian depredation act of March 3, 1801, the means of relief from the exhorbitant charges of un- scrupulous agonts and attorneys who had been charging their clients from 31 per cent to 50 per centof the amount of their claims, but so many ex-soldiers and the widows and orphans of soldiers offered their claims for prosecution that it became evident that the field of usefulness of the bureau was not confined to the interests of claimants on account of the depredations of Indians, and the scope and plans of the bureau have been cnlarged to micet tho constantly Increasing demand for its services iu behalf ot the sol- dier public. The bureau does nothing by halves, and a soon as it was decided that the claims of sol- diers and their heirs mustoccupy a largeshare of its attention an effort was made to secure the services of an expert and thoroughly re- linble attorney to whom could be safely en- trusted the delicate and important interests of its soldier clients, and whose work wi meet their expectation. In this the bu has been eminently successful, huving cured the services of Mr. Carroll D). inte special examiner of the pension bureau, med his official position under the government to take ~harge of the pension claim businessof Tt B2 Brreavor Craivs, Mr. Judson has speac nearly half a life- soldiers and of the Buroau the fruits of many ence in the prosecution of thei a thorough know'edge of the practice and methods of the pensiou bureau gained through his ofMcia position thorein.

If the applicant then desires the servicos of the bureau in the prosecution of his claim,he will execute the papers sent him accoraing 10 nstractions, which will be mailed there- with for his guidance, after which he will return them to the the office of tho bureau, and upon their arrival there the claim will be promptly filed in the proper department and prosecuted to completion at the carliest practicavle date and with the utinost care and diligence, No charges will be made in any pension claim until the ullowauce of the samo, and then only the legal feo tixed by law.

FOUR TRAINS IN ONE HEAP, East Thompson, Conn., the Sosne of a Most Sivgalar Collision, CARS CONSUMED BY THE FLAMCS. Three Men I Their Lives and Number Are Badly Wounded — Threillin thy Passengers, a g Kxperience of Provinexce, R. I., De 4.—A most ex- traordinary accidont occurred at Iast Tnompson, Conn., a station on the New York & Now England wain lino just beforo ¥ o'clock this morning. Four trains, two freights and two passengers, were piled up in indescribable confusion within loss than five minutes and threo lives lost, whilo sov- oral persons were seriously injured, one of whom may die. Tho passenger trains wero the Norwich Boat train and Long Island & Eastorn States express. The freight trains wore the local Southbridge and the through east-bound Boston, Both the engineor and fireman of the Long Island express were killed, the engineer being decapitated. Tho other atality was that of an unknown passengor on tho train, who was burned to death in ono of the Pullman oars. At East Thompson tho local Southbridge freight mado up as usual just before 7 o'clock this morning and had come to a standstill on tho west-bound track when thers was a shrick trom a locomotive, and in avother iu stant there was a crash, aud Lwo engines were mixed together, while a long pile of freight cars blocked both the cast-bound and west-bound tracks. It wasa special froignt, oast-bound for for Boston, on the west-bound track that had struck the tocal freight. The damage thus far done was comparatively slight, but tho men had scarcely reachdd their foot when there was another locomotive whistle, and in an instant another crash, This tine it the overduo Long [sland express, Plunged 1nto the W reck. The engine struck the wreckage on the track, bounded in the air and fell over on its side. All tho cars of the train remaived on tho track, The engincer, Harry Tabor, had evidently scen the wreck, but too late. Ho had reversed his lever, but that was his last act, for his headless body was found besido the ruins of his engine, and that of his five- man, Jerry Filzgerald, lay near by. The boat train ordinarily gots ahead of the express, being due at Boston ten minutes earlier. On account of both trains being late, however, and us the express goes througn without a stop, the bout train was held at Putnam soveral minutes and then pormitted to go by, There was no delay after the ex- press had gone. When the express struck the one of the train bunds snatched a flag and ran up the track, Tho engineer of the ooat train dia not see the man until within 100 fe of the wreck. Quick as thought he reversed his engine, put on the air brakes and with tne fireman, jumped for his life. Tho engine of the boat train went quarter wiy through the Pullinan, whilo the tender teloscoped the baggage car behind. ‘Lhere were but fow passengers on either train, twelve on the express and about: twenty-five on tho boat train. All of these escaped excopt one. ‘The Pullman **Midland’’ was the last car of the express. It had four passengers. Three of them got out quickly after the skock, oae escaping through a window in his night shict and drawers. The fourth man, it 18 undaerstood, started 1o go out but for some reason turned back. That was the last seen of him, for a few seconds later the engine of the boat train crashed through the car. A piece of skull, an arm bone and a gold watch was all that was found in the debris of the car, Immediately after the last collision flames broke oat from the Midland, which was about the center of the wreck of the four trains. The Midland was entirely destroyed. as were soveral box cars with their con- tents, was wreck some d. of Killed ana Inju HARRY TABOR, Island express.
