rsrXCIM. TEI.tORAMTO THE DIEPATCn.
Philadelphia, Xov. 27. The football
season of 1891 at the University of Penn
sylvania is now a thing of the past. The
team Lad a most successful season financial
ly and iu team standing. The game with
"Weslevan was n surprise to many, as Penn
sylvania was expected to score 24 points at
least. According to precedent this was
"Wcsleyan's year to win, as each college has
heretofore won alternately. Xow that the
season is over, there is nothing to do but
make conjectures as to next year's team.
SchofT, the sreat end-rusher, who has been
declared by competent judges to be one ot
the greatest ends in the country, was chosen
captain for next year at the last meeting of
the team, held at the Sturtevant House
Bfter the "Wesleyan game on Wednesday.
A. Popular Tonnjr Man.
He is Tery popular with the team, as was
shown by his unanimous election on the
first ballot. He is heavy, strong, and in
every way qualified for the position, and
the alumni and undergraduates are well
satisfied.
Itowir.g will now take the place of foot
ball, and the candidates for the 'Varsity
crew i ill go on the machines at once. A
very promising candidate is "Wetherill,
stroke of 94 college crew; A. I. Harris,
'PJ, will strobe asain this year, and Ellis M.
Jlawey, '93, medical, will'acain captain the
crew and row number 5. Some of the other
candidates are Church. '32. Captain of this
year's football team; Thayer, '02, fall back
on the tran; Schof. '93, and Branson, '92.
Ellis. Ward ill again train the crew.
Jtowing his been given a new lease of life
at the Varsity on accouut of the Inter
collegiate Itovir.s Association, the new or
ganization. Yale and Harvard have not
joined yet. but it is thought they will later
on. The TJniversitr of Pennsylvania was
one of the prime mo. ers in organizing the
association.
More Football Game.
The class football games will be played
n?xt week for the championship of the col
lege. The ontlook now i very bright for
!'T college: 'P5 college will enter a heavy
team, but they lack experience; '92 college
nnd '91 college are about evenly matched.
The games will be hotlv contested, and
whoever becomes custodian of the silver
cup for this vear will have had a hard fight
for it. The "Mask and Wig,"the dramatic
organization of the University, which has
attained such success in the lavt two years,
lias isi-ued a circular requesting all those
who wish to trv for the cup tohand their
names to the Secretary on Monday, Novem
ber ."0. A preliminary plav will be given,
in which onlv new talent will be used, and
the bct will be chosen for the new play
row being written bv McMichael, '90, and
and XeiHon, '90, which will be given in
conjunction with "Miss Columbia." Tte
learsals will begin immediately. ,
nrCLTJNG WELL PLEASED.
The Yale Captain Thinks Tint Princeton
Played a Great Game.
New Toilk, Nov. 27. A smile of happi
ness radiated through the deposit of mud
which ooaied the features of Captain Mc
Clung as he was carried to the dressing
room of the team after the football game
yesterday. And the reasons for his joy are
partly explained by a short conversation
held with him while" a brawny rubber was
puttinc life into him He said:
"Princeton men have reason to be proud
of their icam, and I think there is little
doubt that they put up a more scientific and
cleaner game than Harvard. Ihavenothad
time to realize that the months of training
und plannirgare over. For themen who have
worked so dcvotcdlv to play football for old
Yale I am very glad that thev can go out ot
training under the most joyful of circum
stances." As Captain Warren was leaving the field
lie was not too rauch occupied with bad re
flections to talk over the content with a re
porter. "Yale clearly outplayed us," he
said, "because they Mere able to keep up
their hard play st'-aigh: through the con
test. Our men were "raw at the beginning
nf the season, and while another week of
practice would have increased our abilitv to
hold Yale down to a considerably smaller
f-core, 1 do not believe our team could have
"been got into championship shape if we had
been given an extra two weeks or so for
work."

SOMETHING ABOUT K'GUNKIGIX
A Rumor That lie May Not Return to
Manage tlie Team.
Quiet rumors were in circulation in local
baseball circles yesterday to the effect that
Manager McGunnigle will not return to
this city to manage the club. A gentleman
in a position to know something about the
matter said last evening:
"The local directors to-day asked Al
Buekenberger to try and get certain players
for them, but be refused in consequence of
his having a letter from Von der Abe assur
ing him of a position in the Association.
Yon.der Ahc states in his letter that the
Association affairs will all be settled by
December 1. Buekenberger declined to
work-for the local directors, fearing that by
so doing be was mining his chances in the
Association.
"But even Mr. Buckenbenrer is inclined
to think from what he has heard that Mc
Gunnigle won't return. What the trouble
is I don't know."
None of the directors could be seen last
CTening to confirm or deny the above; but
it is likely that ono or more new players
maybe heard from to-day, as the wires were
put into operation last evening.

Corbett and make the final arrangements for
their fight. Mater and Corbett each have
51,000 posted with the Herald for the match
and each will deposit the $4,000 more neces
sary to bind the match. In speaking of the
matter Madden said: "I will make the
match for a purse of $5,000 a side and the
best purse to be offered by an athletic club,
the contest to be decided under London
prizi ring rules. I prefer the latter rules,
because I think thev will be the fairest for
the men to fight under, and neither man
will have an advantage."
Before Corbett left for the West he said
that it would suit him as well to fight un
der London rules as Queensberry rules, so
there is now no doubt that the men will be
matched.

Service by the Hallways.
James E. White, General Superintendent
of the Railway Mail Service, has submitted
his annual report to the Second Assistant
Postmaster General. It shows that at the
close of the fiscal year the mails were car
ried on 159,518 miles of railroad in the
United States. Postal clerks were em
ployed in the distribution of the mails on
140,736.74; service on the remainder,
namely, 18,781.26 miles, having been per
formed by means of closed pouches carried
by lines upon which no distributing is made
by postal clerks. The total number of cars
under control of the department is 2,891.
At the close of fiscal year -under review
there were 1,088 railway postoffice lines in
operation on which postal clerks were em
ployed in the operation and distributing.
There were also 37 steamboat lines. A
total of 5,565 clerks were at work on these
lines. ,
There was added during the year 4,738.65
miles of new service, being an increase of
3.06 per cent. The lines upon which service
was performed by postal clerks show an.
increase of 3,172.62 miles or 2.31 per cent.
Increase of the Matter Handled.
The mileage of 'lines covered by closed
pouch service was increased to 18,781.26
being an increase of 1,'566.03 miles, or 9.09
per cent. The annual mileage of this class
of service shows an increase of 1,475,349

837 miles, or 5 per cent in distance traveled
in the performance of duty and 698,462
pieces, or 8.9 per cent in quantity of mail

Mr. "White says: "A large per cent of
those who have been appointed to railway
mail service under the provisions of the
civil service rules have been men of good
intellectual capacity, but unfortunately
many of them have been deficient in stam
ina and physical endurance, and therefore
could not withstand the hardships incident
to an occupation requiringcontinuoug phys

Enoch Ardenlsm and Breach of Promise
. Figure in a Cincinnati Case.
Cincinnati, Hov. 27. The preliminary
steps have been taken in a suit that has
created a great sensation. The principals
are Charles O. Hall, of 'the Hall Safe and
Lock Company, and Ada Belle Anderson
Hall, daughter of a Baptist clergyman, of
Iowa. The hitter's story is that after re
turning from Europe she met and married
a newspaper man, whose name she does not
wish to divulge. Thev separated after a
year, and a month later she read a notice of
his death. A year later she met Mr. HallT
and was secretly married to him in Chicago,
in the presence of friends of both, and came
with him to this, city, thoutrh at his request
the marriage was kept a secret here.
Several months ago she was horrified to
find that her first husband was still alive,
and she quietly obtained a divorce. Hall
heard of it, and, being free, declined to re
marry her, though he still supported her.
In the meantime Mr. Hall has become en
gaged to a belle in Utica, N. Y. Yesterday
he was practically sued for breach of
promise by Mrs. Anderson-Hall, but was
given until noon Saturday to accept certain
propositions. Mr. Hall admits the mar
riage, but says that being now free he does
not desire to remarry the lady, but will pay
her reasonable damages. Xo one suspected
that Mr. Hall was a married man.

Two Booms That Vanished.
Ivanhoe people are disappointed. A few
days ago it was stated that a glass manufac
turing company had purchased ground from
Wood, Harmon & Co., and intended the
erection of a factory at once. Wood, Har
mon & Co. stated that they wished it was
so, but that they knew nothing of the mat
ter. Doubtless the site will be utilized ere
long. There was talk of a distillery being
started just east of Ivanhoe, but nothing
has been heard ot the project lately.

SWINDLED B7 A FRUIT TBEE XAK.
Allegheny County Farmers Bite on the Old
Promissory Note Scheme.
Some people in the southwestern portion
of this county are at present disposed to say
with the Psalmist, and not only in haste
but at leisure, that if not all men are liars a
wonderable percentage are.
More than a year ago a man sold various
bills of fruit and shade trees to a number
of fanners, among others Samuel Groom
and Nicholas Nolte. He took their notes
for a year promising that they should have
three years' time if they wished at 3 per
cent annual interest, but the rate was not
specified on the note. As prices were as
cheap as those of nurserymen generally
and interest low the inducement to buy was
strong and the man met with great success.
The year expired a few weeks agoand the
debtors were astonished on learning that
the till seller had discounted the notes in a
bank in Erie, and on a basis of G per cent
interest.- As tho bank is an innocent
holder, some of them have decided to sub
mit to their fate and pay, but it is said that
Jlr. Kolte and some others will contest, be
ing able to prove the verbal contract.
Mr. Groom paid his note. Nolte's is $350,
so that he will be ont $31 SO if he cannot
bring the agent to time, and Mr. Groom
seems to think there is small chance of do
ing so. The dodge enabled the seller to dis
pose of many more trees than he would other
wise have been able to do, but he has killed
his field of operations in that section, and
some patrons are put to great inconvenience f
by being forced to raise the money two J
years sooner than they had calculated on.
Some of the victims are comforting them
selves with the reflection that the Pyth
agorean philosophy of a future state has
never been disproven, and that when rein
carnated they may be able to witness the
atonement of the man who has done them up.
