They were tolled in the dust to the tune of 63 to 0, and nre only just beginning to realizo that they are no longer the champions. In tho first place the Omaha boys were badly crippled in haviog both of their half backs done up, one of thewm not being able to play. However, they went at it pluckily and had it not been for the far greater welght of their opponents, would have given them a hard struggle. Omaha's boys aver- age about 148 pounds, while their opponents wero at least fifteen pounds heavier. ‘Without a doubt the Ashlands put up a great game and would do credit to a town of four or five times the population.

LOST TO THE UMPIRE. State University Tean Hornswoggled by a ig Fuil Back from Kunsu: Taxcons, Neb., Cet. —[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee,|—A disputed decision is all that stoo between Nebraska and a bril- liant victory in this afternoon’s foot ball match between the State university eleven and the team from the Baker university of Kansas. Befora the game commenced the money of tho enthusiastic Lincoln sports was simply put up against the wager that the husky Bakers would not allow the Nebraska boys to score. The Bakers were sanguine and they bousted {reely that the Nebraska eleven wouldn't even bein it. The State university boys aliowed Toomey, the full back of Baker's team, to umpire the game. They now claim that if this had not been done the chumpion- ship held by the Kansas men against the Kansas and Missouri elevens would have wrested from them. As it was the score_resulted in a tie, 10 to 10, In the first balf Baker made one touch down. After the ball had changed hands several times, Heller, Baker's right half, made a run of sixty yards around theleft end, scoring @ toucn down. The Nobraska team then started with the double 1lying wedge or checkerbourd play, and made twelve yards. Then Flll)]wn made twenty- three on a run. The Nebraska team then lost the ball, but soon regamed it, and by steady work made a touch down. Crawford mwissed an casy goal, and the first half ended with Baker two points ahead, the score standing 6 to 4. In the second half Nebraska mado a touch down and goal and Baker a touch down, Nebraska had the ball within two fect of another touch down, but the umpire gave it to Buker on an impossible foul. The game ended, the score breaking even, with tho oads docidedly in Nebraska's favor. K. U, AT DENVER, * Beaten Champlons Try 1 Queon Uity Athletios.

New Yorg, Oct. 23.—As Thanksgiving day draws nigh, the interest in the game of foot- ball grows apace. The reports from the dif forent universities in the intercolloglate state league are now watched closely by all enthusiasts, and the forthcoming contests betweeu young giants of the various col- leges are awaited with eager expectations. The eastern championship season opens this afternoon, when the Intercollegiate as- sociation begins its games at Manhattan field, New York. The great 'varsity clubs. composing tho association are: Yale, Princeton, Wesleyan and University of Pennsylvania. The schedvle of games is as follows, ending with the great Princeton- Yale Thanksgiving day game in New York: Octoher 28—Princeton vs Wesleyan, at Man- hattan fleld, New York, November 4—Princoton vs University, nsylvania, at Philadelphia. Yalo vs leynn at New Haven. November 11—Yale vs University of Penn- sylvania; place not vet selected. Novenber Wesleyun vs University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelpni Thunksgiving Day—Yale Manhattan field, New York. Pennsylvania, by defeating Princeton last year and by the game played against Yale, demonstrated the fact that no reckoning up on the championship this year can be sound unless the Philaaelphia team taken into account, and the arrangement of a final Thanksgiving day game with Harvard make: a foot ball gala day for them of little less note than that of New York. . A number of Princetons, namely, King ‘Ward, Holley and Tllrlor, have been on the sick list lately; but it s thought they have recovered sufficiently to take partin the day's contest. - Attitade of the College Faculties. A meeting of the representatives of Yale and Columbin and those of Princeton has been hold to discuss the plan of changing in the future the Thanksgiving game from Manhattan field to the Columbia oval at Williams Bridge. For several vears past there has been a growing dislike to the field by the players themselves. But the main reason for the change is the objection offered by the faculties of Yale and Prince- ton. The latter have been rogarding with increasing disfavor each year the manner in which the game has boen degeucrating from true sport to & mere financial scheme. The squabbles over the entrance receipts which have become so public have also annoyed them to a great extent. They bro- pose to put the game on a more thoroughly college basis, or_elso stop the team from playing in New York at all, According to the decree of the faculties, the tickets must be controlled exclusively by the University Athletic club, or there is nogame. This is the first move, and removes one of the ob- Jectional features. Then there was a move not only on the part of the members of the faculties of Yale and Princeton, but also by many of the alumni of those institutions, to have the game played on some college ground, thus giving a more college tone to the whole af- fair. Obviously, Columbia oval, the ath- letic grounds at Williams Bridge present the best faciiities. To this end private negotia- tions have beeu going ou for some months past, but on Wednesday night the tirst meet- g was held. 1t will be impossivle to get the grounds ready and in (it condition for this year, but in the future the great game will be piayed on Columbia’s grounds. Suap for the Tigers. NEw Yorg, Oct. 28.—The foot ball mateh at Marthattan Field today between Prince- ton and Wesleyan drew about 2,000 people. In a minute after play began Taylor touchdown for Princeton and ‘King kicked goal with ease. Wesleyan did them pretty bard with a wedge when the ball was brought out and gained about five yards, but the advantage was only temporary. ISing promptly caught a punt and in another halt dozen minutes Princeton had scored another goal and made 12 points.s Captain Gordon received s bad sprain in his right leg and he was replaced by Man- dell, who had been in the game but a few moments when he went dow, a crush and had 1o be helped to the dressing room. Kent was his substitute and he managed to stay tothe end. In the lirst half Princeton made 44 and in the second 82. ‘l'otal: Princeton, 76; Wesloyan, 0, Yonnsy Had it Easy. Puizapeiemia, Oct. 28, — Pennsylvania today defeated Lafayette, scoring 82 points to 0. Nearly 4,000 people were in ntiend- auce. ‘The collegians showed a remarkably stroug defense, and at no vime did their oppouents have the ball near their goal ‘Ihe line and ends were also strong, and Nippoy' playing was one of the phenomenal order. Williams' play at quurter back was a surpriso, and he is a worthy successor of Vaile, Lafayeite, in the face of the big score being piled up aganst them, never weakened and kept up & strong fight until the close.

In 1883, for the first time, did a horse travel in 2:10, it was ola Johnston, the pacer; in 1884 Jay EyoSee trotted in 2:10 and Maud S in 2:00% and sniso 2:001, and Johnston, not to be outdone, paced in 2:0014, four miles during the year in 2:10 and better. In 1885 Maud S trotted tho only mile of ar better than 0, in 2:08%¢. Up he close of 1800 no other horse entered the 2:10 list, but Roy Wilkos, 2:0815 and Cricket, 2:10, In 1801 only six horses d the line in 2:10 or better; Nelson, :10; Allerton, 2:001; Nancy Hanks, 2:00; Palo Alto, 2:08; Sunol, 2:08%; and Direct (pacer), in 2:06. In 1802 only seven horses trotted in 2:10 or bettor, ‘while seventeen norses paced in 2:10 or better, and the close of 1892 saw both trotting and pacing records at 2:04. During 1803 fiftven horses have trotted and twenty-seven have paced in 2:10 and better without lowering 2:04. These forty-two horses have traveled this year 126 heats of 2:10 or better. Six of these forty- two horses have traveled fifty-five of the 126 heats, They are Mascot with thirteen to his credit, Directum with eleven, Flying Jib with ten, Robert J with nine, and Manager and Nancy Hunks with six each. The writerisnot a horseman, never at- tends a horse race, because he only cares to see the very fast ones, and they do not come to Omaha, but loves a good horse and to watch the marvelous development of speed and endurance that hus been seen during the past few years. He began in 1874 to keep records Lelow 2:18; he has dropped a second or two a year till now he is at 2:10, but this list now contains fifty-eight performers and is too cumbersome.

Mr. Harrison was in the diniog room, which opens onto the rear end of tho hall. Hearing the man ask for him he rose and stepped 1nto the hallway and walked toward Prendergast, who, by the time he caught sight of Mr. Harr! had advanced about ten feet from the doorway. Without saying a word Prondergast drow his revolver and commenced to fire. He pulled the trigger but three times and every bullet hit the mark. One ball shattersd Mr. Harrison's left hand, another passed into the lower right site of the abdomen, making a wound that would have been mortal within a few days, and the third entered the chest slightly above the heart. This bullet was the imme- dinte cause of death. As soon as Prendergast began to fire Mr. Aarrison turned and walked rapidly toward the dining room. He walked through the door across the dining room and passed into a butler's pantry opening off the room. where, weakened by loss of blood, he fell to the floor. Prendergast did not follow up his victim or makeany attempt to ascertain how deadly his aim had been. He replaced his revolver in his pocket with tho same deliberation that had marked all of his actions, and started toward the door. Just us he was passing through the doorway Willlam Pres. ton Harrison, the mayor's son, came tearing down the stairs from the upper portion of the house, justas Mr. Harrison’s coachman ran into the rear end of the hall. Escape of the Assassin. The cries of Mary Hansen directed the son to where his father lay, but the coachman was after other game. He had a rovolver of hisown, and as quickly as he realized what had occurred he leveled his weavon and sent a bullet after the disappearing form of the murderer. A second time his revol- ver spuke, but both bullets went wild. Run- ning to the door the coschman was prepared to continue hestilities, but several people were entering to learn the cause of the shooting and by the time the coachman had reached the sidewalk Prendergast had baen swallowed up in the darkness. Across Ashland boulevard, directly oppo- site the residence of Mr. Harrison, is the home of W. J. Chalmers, the wealthy maker of mining machinery. Mr. Chalmers was standing on the front steps of his residence when the shots were firca. He bounded down the steps and dashing across the street, met Prendergast almost out-of the gate. *‘What is it?” asked Mr. Chalmers, The man walked rapidly north on Ashland avenue without replying and Mr. Chalmers hastened into the house. He reached Mr. Harrison’s side at almost the same instant that William Preston Harrison had found where his father 1 “Are you huri?” asked Mr. Chalmers, as ho and the son of the dying man strove to raise him. His Last Words. “I've got my ded#i} Chalmers,” responded the mayor. Noticing a spot of blood on Mr. Harrison's waistcoat. Mr. Chalmers said, “I guess not.” “T'm shot in the'‘heart and am a dead man,” was the only feply. A moment later hé Suid with a voice which was rapidly losing’stfength: “Unbutton my vest, Chalmers.”’ There's where the trouble is.* i i By this time the sificken man had been borne to & couch in an adjoming room, and, as quickly as he spoke, Mr. Chalmers gently opened his waistcoat. The front'of his shirt was soaked in blood, which welled rapidly from two holes, one just above the heart, the other 1a his abdomen, “Iv's through the heart,” said the mayor again, his voice now scarcely above a whis- per. A moment later he sank into uncon- sciousness and in twenty minutes after re- celving the wounds Mr. Harrison was dead. When young Mr. Harrison came running down stairs to learn the cause of the shoot- ing he passed a burglar alarm. He reached out his hand and turned in an alarm, and even before he had reached his father's side a patrol wagon fillea with officers from Lake street statiou, a third of a mile dis- tant, was dashing tovards the mayor's home. By the time the officers had arrived all traces of the murderer had been lost and even before the mayor had breathed his last officers from every station in the city were on the outlook for a small, smooth-shaven years of age. Every possible offort was made to sccure medical attendance for Mr, Harrison, but when Dr. Liman, the firsy physician to ar- rive at the house, reached the mayor’s side he was a dead man. Drs, I'homas K. Foster and Wasburn followed in quick succession, but they were unable to do anything, and soon left the house. Surrender of the Murderer. About twenty-five minutes after theshoot- ing Sergeant Frauk McDouald was standing in the office of the Desplaines street station. Every available oficer had already been hurried out to work on the case, and Ser- geant McDonald, wha had just come in from other work, was prepariug to follow. The door was pushed gently open and in walked a small, smooth-shaven man, poorly dressed, and carrying a revolver in -his hand. shooke like a man with the plsy, his face was white and drawn, geeat drops of per spiration chased each other down his face, and his tottering limbs scemed scarcely able to hold him upright. He walked up to McDonald, who is a powerful fellow, six feot tall, and looking him suraight in the eyes, said: 1 did it.” “You did it?" asked McDonald. “Yes, Tdid 1t.” “Did what?” said.the ofiicer as he laid one hand on the fellow’s shoulder and with the ouher quietly took the revolver, “I shot Mayor Hyrifdon and that's what I shot him with,” wag tfie reply as Prender- gast made a motiow with his hand toward the revol af **What made you do {t7” asked McDonald.

He spoke of his crime as though it was nothing out of the ordinary and a matter entirely to be exvected. He was trembling so ho could scarcely staud and the ofticers led him 10 a chair and asked a few move questions, to which Pren- dergast had but one reply: “He said he would make me corporation counsel. He did nos,and I shot him. I meant to shoot him and I went thore Lo do i.” He said that after leaving the Harrison house he had taken & stroet car and started toward Des Plaines street station with the object of giving bimself up. “The car did not go very fast,” he said, “or I would have been here sooner.” As the station where he gave himself up 1s just four blocks over ome mile from the Harrison residence, he scarcely had time to do otherwise than he saud. Wild Scoues Belurs the Station. The cell door had hardly clanged shut behind the smurderer when excited crowds began Lo gather about the Des Plalnes street He | 1893—~TWENTY station. Patrol wagons rattled up to the place, their bells clanging as the ofMcors Jumped from their seats and rushed into the station. Cabsand carriages came by the score and their occupants crowded and pushed their way up the steps and 1nto the ofice. Personal friends of the dead mayor, city officials and the ourious crowded over and against each other in a wild endeavor to learn if the story of the shooting was true. An immense throng gathored on the side- walks and in Uhs streets about the place. Laboring men going 1o their homes swung off the cars as they reached the orowd, and when the cause of the disturbance vecamo known, added their voices to the subdued threats of vengeance, for Mr. Harrison was povular with the masses. The streets wero soon filled for blocks, and the officers, as they looked out of the station windows upon the surging sea of angry faces, became alarmed for the safety of the prison. A hasty conference was held and it was decided to move Prendergast to the cen- tral station in the city hall. The trembling prisoner was led between stalwart officers to a rear door and hurried away in the dark- ness, Cnme with & Shock to the City. Meantime tidings of the murder had swept like an electric shock through thecity. The telephone wires fairly burned with service as inquiries and confirmations flew over the circuits. City oMcials. politicians and busi- ness men dropped their evening papers as the startling news came to their homes and hurried to the center of the city to swell the erowds that clusterea about the central station. Bulletins were posted in prominent down town places and about them crowded the throngs, Nowspaper offic were besioged by eagor questioners and down town business was for a time at a standstill. Before the prisoner had reached the city hall, news of his coming had been communicated to the crowds about the street and the place was surrounded. The murderer was rushed through the throng 1nto the dark courtyard and hurried throvgh a private entrance into Chief of Detectives Shea's office. The doors were barred, offi- cers even hurried from adjacent stations to guard the windows, doors and corridors. A few detectives and police officers were called into the chief’s oftice and the examination of Prendergust began. Palsied with Fear. The prisoner, as soon as he had reached the office, sank exhausted into a chair, his head fell back and his livid face and staring eves presented a ghastly picture. He isa slender man, perhaps 24 years old, with Dbeardless and cadaverous face, and a stupid, almost idiotle exvression. His attire was that of a laboring man and not even cleanly. For a time the man refused to answer any questions. Ina scarcely audible voice, he said: “I'm sick, I'm sick."” Chief Shea at length reached over, placed his finger on the man’s wrist and told him it was a doctor who questioned him. Why did you kill the mayor?” asked the chief. “Well,” the man responded feebly, “he told me he would make me corporation coun- sel and he did not do it, so I shot him. I went to his door and rang and I went in and shot him. I just shot him, that's all, I shot him.” “What is your name?” tive. “Prendergast, Patrick Evgene, or Eugeno Patrick, it makes no difference which. The last name is Patrick."” “Where do you live?" “Idon’t know, don't krow where. Around here somewhere, I guess,” and the man raised his head to make his answer more emphatic, “butT don't live at the railroad tracks, I tell you that,” and no amount of in- quiry could induce himn to give his place of residence. asked the detec- His Stupld Answers. Chief Shea asked him if he had ever been a lawyer aud Prendergast responded he did not know. “Then why did you expect *to be made corporation counsel?” asked the ofticer. “The mayor promised me, that's all,” was the answer, In attempting to learn the man's means of livelihood the officers experienced great dif- ficulty. His replies were incoherent and rambling, but at last the examiners became convinced that he had heen a newspaper carrier, whose route was nlong Ashland boulevard and in the vicinity of the mayor's home. For several hours the examination was continued, but nothing of importance was developed. Other witnesses were examined, including the seruants in Mr. Harrison's house at the time of the shootingand people ‘who had arrived soon after the murder. The prisoner was fioally placed ina cell under the city hall and additional policemen stationed about the building for the night's vigil. All night long crowds came and went about the place. A bitter feeling against the murderer was manifested. Signihicant but subdued remarks about convenient lamp posts and swift revenge were freguently heard. At one time during the evening as a car- riage drove rapidly down the streev a young man pointed his umbrella at the vehicle and shouted: ‘“I'nere he goes!"” There was an immediate rush for the re- treating carriage, but some one shoutea that Prendergast was still in the chief's office and the crowd stopped and began looking for the man with the umbrella, An officer, towever, had rushed the man away and he was apparontly glad to escave, Stories of the First Arrivals. W. J. Moran of 612 Jackson boulevard and E. R. Robiuson, a young medical student, were passing the house just us the shots were being fired, They rushed through the door & second after Mr. Chalmers had en- tered, “We hurried into the dining room a quickly as we could,” smd Mr, Moran, “but we were unable to do anything more than help raise Mr. Harrison onto a couch. We did not think he was badly hurt at first, and when the little gentleman (Mr. Chalmers) sald he thought he would getover it, the mayor said: *No, my heart is hort and T am a dead man. 1 can feel the blood flowing inside and I cannot last long.' “We did what we could for him, but he sank rapidly and in a few minutes was dead.” “T'he whole thing was so quickly doze,” said Mr. Chalmers late tonight, “that I really don’t know & thing about It. I was standing at my steps when [ heard the shooting, and about the nextthing I knew Iwas in the house and helping young Mr. Hacrrison to care for his futher, I expressed to Mr. iarvison the hope that he was oot badly wounded, but he said: ‘I am a dead man; I have got it through the heart' He repeated this several times and sank so rap- idly we knew there was no hope for him.

His articulation was not distinet at tuat time, but that is whatl think he said I really don't know anything about how the occurence took place. I was devoting all my time to Mr. Harrison." Peendorgast is Crazy, “‘That man Prendergast is erazy.” said Corporation Counsel Kraus, who was per- haps the closest friend Mr. Harrison had “I know him well and have seen him several times. He called at my office twice and told me he was going to be appointed as my suc cessor and that I should resien. 1 laughed and told him I was ready to quit at any time, andaf he would let me know when he re- celved the appointment I would gladly lot him have the place. The man was 80 palpably out of his mind that I did not consider it worth while to talk seriously with him. 1Ispoke to the mayor at one time about it and he saia he had received threatening letters from the fellow, but paid no attention to him, as the man was insane and there no use both- ering with him. I never thought of the mat- ter again until I received two postal cards from the fellow a fow days ago. They were both written in red ink and gave me the in- formation that he was ready to have me ro- sign and step into my position. I alwavs knew Prendergast was insane, but I never thought he would do such an awful thing as this." Mr. Kraus was well nigh inconsolable over the mayor's death. When the news reached him that the mayor was dead he was in his carriage going to a ball. He at once ordered his coachman to drive back to his home, where he removed his dress suit and then hurried over to Mr. Harrison's residence, arriving there 4 short time after the mayor's death. What the Conchman Saw. Peter Reicheise, Mayor Harrison's private coachman, made an effort to kill Prendergast. *“Whon I entered the house through a rear door,” he said, “1 commenced taking off my overcoat. Suddenly I heard three shots fired very rapidly, one after the other, and I hastened at once to the front of the house. As I stepped into the hall I saw the man walking towaud the front door with his revolver in his hand. 1 did not, see Mr. Harrison, for he had by that time entered the dining room again. Idrew my olver and fired four shots at the man.. I was so excited that my hand was unsteady, and although only a short distance scparated us none of the shots took effect. The man fired one shot at me and then turned and started to run. I shouted to him to stop and also called the police. As he ran up Ashland avenue he turned east on Adams street. When 1 arrived at the corner I could not see him and I returned to the house.” CAKTER H. RARRISON, His Life and Decds—A Short Blograph the Assassinnted Mayor, Cnicaco, Oct. 28, —Carter H.
