The greatest football game ot the season will come off to morrow afternoon at Eastern Park, Brook lyn. The cates will be opened at 11 o'clock in the morning. Extensive arrangements have been made to care for the crowd, more liberal in fact than at any previous games between these colleges. From the time the referee, "Billy" Brooks, of Harvard, calls "play," until the final call of "time" there wiirbe a continual cloud of Yale blue and Princeton orangeand black hovering around the grounds. The Yale contingent will oc cupy the "bleacheries" on the western and the Princeton students and sympathizer!, will be on the eastern side. The rival teams are quartered at the St. George Hotel, Brooklyn, arjd are anxiously waiting for the supreme moment to come. It is generally thought by the knowing ones that Yale will win the game, but by a very small score. TOE WILL BE THEEE. The Princeton eleven have about recovered from the injuries indicted on them by the University of Pennsylvania bruisers and will feel much more confident now that it is au assured fact that their mainstay, Captain Poe, will be back of the line. Princeton men concede that Tale is stronger in the line than they are, but with Holcomb out aud Syrnmes playing against Lewis it is au even question as to which eleven is really the stronger. The giants of the teams. Henelfinger aud Kiggs, will buck up against each other and the two lines may be considered about equal at that particular point. Thomas will iace S. Morrison, aud here again will be a struggle. 5o much for the center. The two Yale tack lers, lthoucs and AVallis, are certainly more than a match for Spcer and Lewis, who will play against them. At these points Yale will probably have a great advantage. Crosby will probably be superstded at the richt end by Moyle or Itidgway, as his work in the Harvard game was not of the best. Hartwell will play the other end and will have Furniss against him. Furuiss, although a player possessing rare pluck, is liable to be outplayed by the Yalensian. rjlISCETOX'S GOOD TOISTS. Behind the line Princeton is undeniably the stronger. Poe at quarter back is the best in the country and is iar superior to Barbour. Spicer and King play like clock work together, and are lully as good as any half backs that Yale can produce. It is a question whether 'Williams will be well enough to play or not. If he does not play Blisswill help McClung out. The latter is considered an excellent running and kick ing halfback. Homans is fully as good as Harvey at lull back and is much better than B. Morrison, who will probably play for Yale. The teams will probably line up as follows: Yale. Position. -Princeton.

Until last Saturday everyone was croaking about the great walk-over Yale was going to have. Since the Harvard-Yale game aud the decided brace up the team took last ueek. the croakers are silent, and everyone feels confident of victory. So great did the enthusiasm become this morn ing that a banner, fully 25 feet by 16 feet, was swung across Nasau street. On it were the words, "Inter-Collegiate Football." Below was a tierce tiger appealing with jaw open and teeth protruding, carrying a lone hlack streamer, or whirh weie. Princeton-Yale." Below this again, in large letters, the follow leg words were beautifullv wrought: 'Rah! 'Rab! 'Rah. ""Tiger, sis boom ah, "Princeton." Captain Poe is very confident of victory, and to are the other members of the team. Captain Poe kept his men in their rooms all day. He gave them over two hours1 drill on the signals aud tricks which are numerous this year. No regular practice game- was played in order to ge the men a rest lor to-morrow. Great crowds of students left hero on the noonday and afternoon trains. EK EOTJTE FOE THE STRUGGLE.

University of Pennsylvania Football Team Scores n Great Victory by Vigorous Tlay Ing Captain Slayback Makes a Great Bun. 1SPLCTAL TELEGttAK TO THE msrATCIM New Yoek, November 26. Two thousand football enthusiasts saw tho University of Pennsylvania defeat Wcsleyan ny a score of 16 to 10, at Washington Park this afternoon in a game that was remarkable for tho brilliancy of a run in the second half by Captain Slay back, of Weslcyan, and the rough tactics pur sued by Captain Church, of the Pennsylvania team. It was a very even contest, which might have resulted differently had Hall. V eslcyan's great full back, been able to last the came out, but a weak ankle forced him to quit in the early part of the first half. Slayback was weak in the first half, but he played great football in the second half. Moore also played a good game for Weslcyan; and Newton, through his great weight, w.-ib invaluable in backing tho center. For the University, Camp anu Schoif were head and shoulders" above their associ ates. Duncan Edwards, of Princeton, was umpire and Walter Camp, of Yale, releree.

President Frank Robison, of the Cleveland National League team, has returned from New York. Mr. Robison is a member of the Conference Committee with Mr. Spalding, appointed at the League meeting to consider the proposition made by Al Johnson to sell his interest in base ball for&S.dOO. Up to yesterday Mr. Johnson's chances for securing a big bonus were ex cellent, but there is now a strong probability that he will he badly ieft in the final settlement of tho Players' League fiasco. Mr. Robison has always been a warm friend of Johnson's in spite of the latter's connection with baseball, and it is mainly owing to bis ef forts that Johnson received any recognition Irom the League after tho downfall of the Flayers' League was assnred. Johnson is now quoted as saying that the National League has ncicu in Dau xaitn wun mm and mat Messrs. Robison and Spalding have been trying to throw him down. Mr. Robison said to-day; "I have always been friendly with Johnson, but when he ac cuse me of bad faith I don't think it is my place to do anything further for him. If there aro any other gentlemen in the National League who are disposed to deal any more generously with him than Mr. Spalding and myself, he had better find them at once." Mr. Spalding writes that he is disgusted with the whole affair and feel like letting it drop. The directors of the Cleveland National League team met last evening. President Rob ison laid before them a proposition from the National League to pav Johnson $2), 000 and re questing Cleveland to pay $5,100 as its share. A resolution was passed declining to stand any assessment for tho purpose of reimbursing Mr. Johnson, all of the directors voting for this ex cept President Robison, who still stood out for a settlement. The other directors expressed themselves as satisfied with the situation. Johnson and the Players' League, they sav, are incapable ot farther mischief, and as it has cost them enough money already they do not pro pose to help Johnson nut of the hole into which be bas put himself. Boston and Philadelphia will be given Association franchises and Mr. Johnson left to shift for himself. NICK VEEY THANKFUL. President Young Expresses His Gratitude for Some Baseball Blessings. Washington, November 26. There is no happier man alive these days than President Nick Young, of the National Baseball League, and he is doing a vast amount of complacent hand shaking with friends who are' anxious to congratulate him upon the success ful tcrmiuation of tho fight that at one time threatened to defeat the old organization of which he is the head. A Star reporter added to bis store of felicity yesterday on meeting the genial baseball magnate in the White House grounds. "It has been a glorious vindication of the old league and its methods," said Mr. Young, "and the game is now in good shape for anuther sea son and a great many more. Tbe war has done both good and evil to the sport. It has hurt it in that the public were made j ust a bit disgusted with ball players and their ways. It has helped it by bringing out a great many new men, who have strengthened tbe game by their playing. There is now less star work and more good work, fewer high salaries and more sober men. There is not the least trouble now in mating up a first-class team out of the general market, which is really overstocked now that the Play ers' League has collapsed. Next year' will'be a great season!" And the man who had steered a sinking ship into port and bad repaired her so that she; was ready for her longest cruise went on to' his work, very thankfnl for the baseball blessings. LOCAL BASEBALL A7FAIBS. A Club Official Talks Plainly About the Presidency Difficulty. The stockholders of the local baseball club expect to hold a meeting some time next week to get the club thoroughly organized. As far as the presidency is concerned, a feeling is growing favorable toward electing ex-Mayor McCallln to the position. A gentleman inter ested in the matter said yesterday: "The only way we can act so as to end all un pleasantness is to elect Mr. McCallin to the cilice. If this is done, neither Mr. Niinick nor Mr. O'Neil will have anything to tight about as far as the election of either is concerned. I think that Mr. McCUin will see that it is for the best interests of tbe club that he should consent to act. If he does not there will al ways be more or less trouble." BILLIARD EXPERTS AT DENVER. Magillio Outplays Carter In the Beginning or Their Match. Denver, Col., Novembcr26. The firstseries ot 500 points in the 1500 point, 11-inch balk line game of billiards, between Franc Magillio. the Southern champion, and Eugene Carter, of Chicago, was played at the Collander. late last night. It resulted in an easy victory for the Frenchman, who finished 12S points ahead of his opponent from the Windy City. Tlie game was attended with brilliant plays, but was rather a surprise, as in practice Carter had always outplaced his opponent. Both averages were light, Magillio scoring a trine over seven, while Carter fell a point behind. Forty-two was the higuest ruu made, which the Frenchman pulled off. He clearly outplayed Carter at all points. Among tbe spectators were Catton.of St. Louis. Charlie Coil, of this city, officiated as scorer.

The Discovery Confirms an Old Story of a Miser's Double Murder. SiMMESPOr.T, La., Kovember 2G. The skeletons of a woman and infant were yes terday discovered by workmen employed in cleaning out an old well on what is known as the Richardson plantation, lving a few miles out of town on the Baton Rouge road. The skulls of both were broken. Tlie arms of the woman were still so tightly clasped about the child that they could not be loosened, and the two were reinterred as they were found. About the neck of the woman was hung a silver chain, to which was attached a small gold crucifix, both quite black, however, with slime and nge. The latter, on being cleaned, was found to be inscribed on the back with the initials A. 1?. 1?., and the date May 10, 1803. The Richardson place lias lain fallow ever since the w.ir, when, on the death of its owner Colonel Maurice Richardson it became the property of a gentleman living in Cuba. Prior to its purchase by the Colonel the plantation was owned by a French gentleman named Fougeron, who, in turn, inherited the property from a relative of that name, who, the older settlers say, was unmarried and lived the life ol a miter and recluse. He was said to have an octoroon daughter, a most beauti'itl young woman, to whom, he was devotedly attached, but that she disappeared one day, and to the few who ventured to question him about her absence he declared that she had run away with a young man employed By him as an overseer. As this man was also miss ing, and the girl and he having been seen frequently together, this explanation was accepted, but many did not scruple at the time to say that the old man bad murdered them both. ITS BONES RATTLE. An Old-Fashioned Spook Terrifies tho In habitants of an Eastern Village. "Westeeley, E. I., November 26. The quiet little Rhode Island hamlet of Sayles ville has had a Teal, old-fashioned spook this winter. The ghost frequents a wooded strip ot land leading .from Crossman street to Eagley street, appears nightly, glides over tbe ground with a fantastic, grave yard gait, and some people that have met tbe spook aud whose hearing is acute think they heard its bones rattle in its white habiliments. The citizens of obscure nnd lonesome Saylesville avoid the ghost's walk and take a short footpath around the Cross man wood alter dark. The spook has appeared to more than half a dozen people, but most of them were too scared to let it come very near to them and see how it looks; but the other night the Rev. Mr. Calvin, with his two daughters, strolling nonchalantly through tbe haunted wood, saw the ghost at short range. A figure clad in white suddenly rose up out of the brush or ground and flashed with the quickness and elusiveness of a fire-fly past them. The young ladies were very much Irightened, but as the apparition dis appeared almost instantly they regained their courage, and the party went on borne. All three persons had a good look at the phantom, and aver it is a genuine ghost. They have told the story of the encounter to a hundred people. Some of the brave young fellows of Saylesville propose to lie in wait for the ghost at night. THE "WRONG WOMAN. now Mary Blake Passed Herself OS as a Widow. Dekyep., Col., November 26. Suit has been commenced in the District Court by F.J. Jones, of Chicago, against Mary Blake, ol this city, to recover 56,009, alleged to have been obtained on false pretenses. In 1887 J. B. Blake died in Michigan City, leaving an estate of 512,000 to his widow, Mary Blake, with whom he bad not lived for .several years. Jones was ap pointed executor, nnd after a couple of years' search found a woman who to bis satisfaction proved herself to be the Mary Blake wanted. She succeeded in getting 56,000 and came to Denver. Some time alterward the. true widow of the testator ap peared and demanded the money. Mr. Jones immediately came here and demanded the return of the cash, but was laughed at. There is property valued'at probably 2,000, which has been levied upon. EVENTFUL LIFE HISTORY.

Heirs Fiehtins Over the Wealth of a Deceased Bonanza King. A QUESTION OP ADMINISTRATION. Estate ijgrffratinff Over $12,000,000, in Both East and West. THE DEAD CEffiSDS WAS A HARD CASE Helena, Most., November 26. On March 11 last, Andrew J. Davis died rather suddenly, and hardly had rigor-mortis been noticed before tbe scramble for his millions began. Al his deathbed there were very few who could reasonably hope to share in the distribution of his millions. They knew his possessions represented millions, but how many? Thqf was a point upon which his most intimate business associates were left to wonder. Those in the "West knew he had money in the East, while those on the Atlantic Coast, especially in New York, knew he had large mining interests in the "West. So a guess was all that any one could hazard as to his wealth. Some of them had watched the process of accumulation without even making an estimate of the value of the properties, willing to accept any crumbs that might fall to their lots in the final distribution. Two days after Mr. Davis' death the public heard that fully ?j,000,000 had been left by the dead man, and a genuine sensation was created when it was announced that no will had been left. SCRAMBLE BEIJIXS AT ONCE. Many persons were positive that a will had been drawn; one or two of his business associates expressed si willingness to swear that they had heard Mr. Davis say he had made a will; but no one could say that the contents of the document had ever been told by the millionaire. So there beganan immediate scramble for the position of high distributor of the worldly wealth, with its accustomed percentaga in such cases made and provided. Tne public curiosity was aroused when John A. Davis, brother of the deceased, made application for letters of administra tion. This was the signal for opening to the public gaze all the chapters of the rather eventful history of a bachelor who had not entertained orthodox ideas of virtue. So every man who knety, a bit of personal his tory was brought to the witness-stand and his story given to the public, with pretty bits of sensational gossip attached as facts. The brothers testified that Millionaire Davis had not married, and that no children could claim him as parent But befoye the hearing had progressed very far children bezan flocking in, accompanied by mothers, who readily acknowledged the children in the hope of obtainins a portion of the money left by the millionaire. THE PRIZE GEOIVS IN VALUE. Certainly more of the sensationalism was added in this way than was necessary, aud so brazen were the claims that the women succeeded in bringing themselves into con tempt without' substantiating tbe claims made. As witness after witness was called, the total of wealth was swelled until the estate reached the handsome figure of $12,000,000, and established the fact 'that with the excep tion ot Marius Daly, the business partner of Senator Hearst, and J. B. Haegin, Mr. Davis was the wealthiest of Montana men, and in the personal history of the rich men of this State not one biography presents more illustrations of self-denial and moder ate living than does that of this apparently parsimonious millionaire. The opinion handed down to-day relates solely to letters of administration. The Dis trict Court of Butte appointed John A. Davis, a brother of tbe deceased millionaire, administrator. Henry A. Hoot, of New York, a nephew, who represented the East ern relatives, was also an applicant for let ters and will move for a new hearing, alleg ing that John A. Davis was not a proper person, alleging incompetency, bv reason of drunkenness, improvidence and want of un derstandine and integrity. TV AST A SET ADMINISTRATOR. Evidence was introduced in support of the allegations, as well as evidence to show error in tbe defense of respondent against the allegations. This second class of evi dence relates First, to the alleged insufficiency of the evidence to justify the findiuz of the court against the alleged causss of incompetency, and Second, to errors of law alleged to have occurred at the trial and been excepted to by appellant. As to the alleged disqualifica tion by reason of drunkenness, the opinion finds no error in the ruling of tbe court be low. The question does not turn upon the lact that intoxicating liquor was used to some extent. The drunkenness contemplated by the statute is that which follows irom excessive, inveterate anil continued use of intoxicants to such an extent as to render the victim ot the habit an unsafe agent for the care of property or the transaction of business. It is admitted by appellant's counsel that the evidence introduced to establish tbe incom petency of defendant by reason of drunken ness is rudager. No witnesses were willing to testify that John A. Davis was unable to transapl business by reason of drunkenness, nor did they testify to other facts from which this court could draw such conclu sion. - SOME COUNTER-CHARGES. Testimony for the respondent shows, on the contrary, that he is capable of, and had been aitend'ing to, important business, up to the time of this hearing. In the same way the charge of improvidence is not sustained by proving that since 18So, and after a legal separation from his wife, the appellant has not supported her and his minor children. He has no estate, and at the advanced age of 60 years he is not possessed of property. "Want of understanding and integrity is, in the same way, held to he not sustained by the evidence. On this point the evidence is reviewed very iullv. as ii the alleged error in exclud ing certain proffjred evidence. It is urged that the fact that the respondent has a son with claims against the estate should dis qualify the respondent from acting as ad ministrator, because he would be likely to favor his son's claim. "This fact," says the opinion, "has no bearing upon the question of Johu A. Davis' integrity." The opinion concluded by ordering that the judgment of the lower court be affirmed, with costs. Judge Blake, in his dissent, makes no objection to the finding of' the lower court in respect to a non-competency by reason of drunkenness, but goes into the question of the intesrity of the respondent exhaustively. He finds that on that ground the motion lor a reversal of the finding of the lower court should have been sustained. He also finds that the lower court was in error in refusing certain testimony tending" to further establish a want of integrity and a conspiracy. ' LEGAL DOCTORS DIFFER. His opinion touches on the fact that A. J. Davis, Jr.. the son of the respondent, has a claim of 665,000 acainst the estate; that Erwin Davis, the brother of the respondent, owes the estate $536,000, and that these two have always stood behind the respondent in his fight with other claimants. Further more the respondent on July 25, 1890, filed a petition asking that the order which ap pointed him administrator be revoked, that a will just found be probated and anew order issued appointing him administrator. Although this new will does not ad mit the claims of A. J. Davis, Jr., nor the debt ol Erwin Davis, these two are still with the respondent in his fight. The mat ter will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The later estimates filed bv those interested value the estate at S12, 800,000. The JiHIl recently presented, dated in 1866, is pronounced a forgery by ex perts aud will not figure in -the coming trials. The legal controversy has, by this decision, been fairly opened, and a multi plicity of suits for the estate trill ensue', A HEAVY FAILURE. TWO BANKS IN THE CITY OF DULUTH SUSPEND PAYMENT. Stringency in the Money Market Causes II. II. Bell to Close Up "With Unbllltles That Aro riaccd at Over 8700,000. Duluth, November 26. The suspension of the bank of H. H. Bell was announced this morning by a bulletin placed on the door stating that owing to the tightness of the money market Mr. Bell was at present unable to meet the bank's obligations, although every dollar of liabilities" would be met in due time. An assignment of all Mr. Bell's property to Clinton Markell was filed early this morning with the Clerk of Courts for the benefit of all creditors of the concern. The bulletin further stated that a full and exact account of the bank's assets and liabilities would be furnished to the public at tbe earliest possible date. V. "W. Bilsou, the bank's attorney, said : "The failure was occasioned simply hy the iact that the line of discounts and re discounts, which the bank was carrying proved to be too large for times of such ex treme financial stringency. On account of this striugency, aggravated perhaps by misgivings in moneyed circles with reference to the magnitude of his business as com pared with his capital, his rediscounts were suddenly and generally called in and Mr. Bell found hinuelt unable to care for them. Mr. Bell has, I suppose, been justly con sidered to be worth 5300,000 and this entire fortune will, so far as necessary, be applied to cover the shrinkage in his assets that may follow the fact of his failure. I have no reason to doubt that all creditors will be paid in full." It has been known among the bankers of the city for some time that Mr. Bell was in financial difficulty on account of the pinch in the money market, which was perhaps made doubly stringent owing to the fact that Mr. Bell has to larsejy carry the For restal Bros, contracts since their failure on account of beinc their heaviest bondsman. The associated banks of Duluth have ad vanced Mr. Bell money several times and tided him over during the worst pinch. A considerable aniount.of his loans have been called in also, but it was impossible, how ever, for him to get in sufficient funds to meet his obligations, for cash depositors were obliged to draw heavily on account of strin gency in their own obligations. As nearly as could be learned this fore noon from semi-official sources, but not from authoritative ones, the liabilities of tbe bank are about $715,000 and assels 700,000 on short loans, mostly for 60 days; 5250,000 rediscounts, 550,000 advanced lor the city to carry Forrestal Bros., and private prop erty of Mr. Bell, 5300,000, making the total assets $1,300,000. The West End Bank, of H. H. Bell & Co., was also closed to-day and all the funds removed from its vaults to those of tbe bank up town early this morning. It is not be lieved that either the county or city will be much affected by the assignment, as the other banks have signified their willingness to honor all orders which may be civen by the city or county authorities. The Bell & Fyster Bank was the only city depository and also a depository of 5100,000 of the St. Loui county fuuds. At present the city has $79,865 06 of funds deposited in the bank, and the county has S36.000 to their credit in their banking accounts with the same depository. The bank gave bonds to the county in tbe sum of 5200,000. LIABILITIES OVER 85,000,000. Discouraging Statement of the Assignee of CM. Whitney & Co. New Yor.K, November 26. A statement of the assignee of C. M. Whitney & Co. shows that the firm's liabilities amount to $5,235,211, and that its assets are 54,124,112. It is not stated whether these assets are actual or nominal. The statement adds that about 53,300,000 of the liabilities are secured debts owing to bankers. The Inrcest cred itor is Mrs. M. Li. Whitney, of New Orleans. Her claim is for 51,900,000, which is prac tically unsecured. The assets may be largely increased by the avails of securities belonging to the firm, upon which it js impossible to put a value. At present they have accordingly been treated as possessing a nominal value only. AN ARTIFICIAL HAND. Ingenious Invention of a Father Whose Son's Arm Was Amputated. Norwich.

SPOILED A WEDDING. The Employer of tho Bride Drives Minister and Guests Away BY USIKG AN ANCIENT NSTUL. Printed Invitations Issued and Prepara tions Complete. OBJECTED TO LOSING IIIS SEETAST Camden, N. J., November 20. A wedding was announced to take place last night at 7 o'clock in a house ou Seventh street, above Ferry avenue, Camden, but tbe man in whose home the ceremony was to have been performed at the point of, a pistol ordered tbe guests to depart, intercepted the minister, and iorbadc him to proceed, pre senting the weapon at his head. The couple who were to have been wed were Itoger George "Washinstqn Welsh and Mrs. Annie Smith. Tbe invitations had been nicely written and circulated among the friends of the prospective bride and bridegroom for over a fortnight, and when the hour arrived there were lully 20 couples present, provided with all kinds of presents. As the guests had passed many mile 6tones in life's journey, they had se lected presents more useful than orna mental, and the bearers were considerably fatigued as they sat in the kitchen waiting for the ceremony. CHANGES niS MIND. The intended bride was housekeeper for John Orr, at whose home the company had assembled. Mr. Orr is a pairiarchal look ing man with a long white beard, and while sitting with the guests an objection to losing the services of his housekeeper flashed upon him. He left the room abruptly and soon returned with a long navy revolver and astonished the guests by exclaiming: "Well, I have decided the wedding will not take place, so vou may all leave as soon as pos sible. The man that was to marry my housekeeper has proven to be a mean rascal, as I have discovered that he has deceived Mrs. Smith by presenting her with a rolled gold ring valued at 25 cents for a good wed ding ring." The guests were astonished at the sudden turn ot affairs. Some had come from Ger mantown, Frankford, West Philadelphia, and other places in Pennsylvania and New Jersey towns. Alter they bad got on the outside he lollowedtind said: "I guess I will go and hunt the minister." WAYLAYS THE MINISTER. As he flourished the old weapon they feared he would do harm and followed. He went to Broadway and Van Hook streets and bid behind a tree. Presently a car came down the street, and when it reached "Van Hook Hev. Charles D. Sinkinson, pastor of the Memorial M. P. Church, who had been engaged to perform the ceremony, alighted. When he reached the sidewalk he was surprised by a man jumping from behind a tree with a large navy revolver, which was forcid under his nose with the exclamation: "Hold onl Hold on here!" The minister was startled and asked what he had done. Mr. Orr informed him he need not be alarmed, no one would be hurt; but the wedding could not take place at his bouse, and that he nad started out to inform him that he could take the car and return to bis home. MR. ORB'S EXCUSE. The reason he gave was that an effort had been made to secure $5 as a foe tor the min ister, and when that sum could not be raised he had decided to prevent the cere mony. The minister asked Mr. Orr to be kind enough to lower the weapon from his nose long enough to allow him to put the mar riage certificate in his pocket. When this was done the minister backed into the street until a friend arrived. Mr. Orr lowered the weapon, walked to his home to find it crowded with people. When he opened the door he found the housekeeper aud Mr. Welsh missing.
