THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, 'SATURDAY. DECEMBER' '26, 1891? If WON IN GREAT STYLE. The Pittsburg Football Team Defeat the Younsjstown Eleven. SOME VERT BRILLIANT PLAYING. Interesting Shooting Contests and Other Local Sporting fcrents. XEW AMATEUR BOXING BULL'S 1 Fully 1,000 people were at Exposition Park yesterday afternoon to witness a foot ball came, association rules, between the ' Pittsburg and Youncstown teams. With- out any exaggeration it was one of the i finest games ever seen in or about Pittsburg. ! The local team won by coals to 0, and the i victory was pained entirely br superior . plaving. and the plying was, indeed, of a brilliant kind. j from start to finish the enthusiasm of the spectators was Tery great, and when the 1 Pittsburgers scored lond cheers rent uie air. J, Youngstown had a capital team on the fy ground, but they were outplayed and out generaled. The contest only went to show how undesirable it rti to have the trouble in the Football League that caused the ithdraal of the Tittsburg team. The work of the latter vesterday was certaiulv cf a kind to place them ahead of any associ ation team in We-'tern Pennsylvania. Their combination work was first-da', and the visitor could not keep the ball from them. In the first halt, nttcr a fine exhibition of football, O'Brien one of the local forwards, kicked a coal in magnificent style. Shortly afterward Wardle, another of "the forvards, kicked another coal. Xo more points were scored in the first half. Tn the second half Waldron kicked a goal for Piiti-bnrc, and O'Brien made his second coal in the game. Some cood play followed, but neither team could score. Several times the visitors had the ball with an ap parently clear course ahead of them, but the local players were too active, and like lightning rushed up and took possession of , the ball. 1 The same two teams will play at Youncs- I town to-day, and on Xew Year's Day the ' Pittsburcs will play the Hast Liverpool , team.

No News Bas Tteen Received From Captain Hardie in That Time. SEVERAL STARTLING REPORTS Ttiat Have as Tet Been Jfeither Confirmed Xor.Contradicted. GARZA G1TES AWAY SOME OF HIS PLANS fSPEClAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 23. The only information received at military depart ment headquarters here to-day from ihe scene of Catarino-Garca filibustering and revolutionary troubles along the Kio Grande border was a dispatch to Assistant Adjutant General J. R Martin, from Captain John B. Johnson, of the Third Cavalry, which stated that he had just returned to Fort Brown, after a three days' scouting trip up the river on the Texas side, in search of the revolutionary Mexi cans and offenders against the United States neutrality law. None of the Garza men were encountered, and none are believed to have crossed over into Texas from Mexico along that portion of the border -within the past few days. The startling report which reached her-i last night, from Ft. Mcintosh, that Captain Francis Hardie, of the Second Cavalry, and his detachment of 50 men hail met an armed force of Garza's followvrs near , Carrizo, Texas, vesterday, and that in an engage ment tliat ensued 41 of the United States soldiers were killed, had, up to a late hour to-night, received no official confirmation at department headquarters here. No News Frotri Hardie Lately. General Stanley expectantly awaited some word from Captain Hardie all day. No communication has been had with him for three days. It is known that he is in pursuit of a "detachment of revolutionists, and if the Moody event occurred as re ported, it is believed at the post here that lie must have been drawn into an ambush and his men massacred. In a telegram to General Stanley last night, Captain John G. Bourke stated that Garza recently made a speech to his follow ers at Los Angeles, Tex., in which he as serted that the present campaign would be completely successful, and after he had overthrown the administration of President Diaz he would then insist that part of Texas be added to. Mexico. He has also told his men that theV cannot get supplies anywhere else in Texas unless they can- capture i ort Jtmggoia ana nnu plenty. Dr. Plutarco Ornelas, the Mexican consul here, recelve'd a dispatch from the Mexican Consul at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, stating that a force of Garza's men and a regiment of Mexican troops met some distance below that place yesterday and the revolutionists maiie a stand, but were defeated with a loss of four men. Mexico. Rushing to the Frontier. The Mexican Government is rushing troops to the.frontier, ahOut 6.000 Mexican soldiers being stationed along the border between Nuevo Laredo and Matamoras. Among'this number is President Diaz's fa Torite reeiment. the Fourth Cavalrr, which js pronounced the best regiment in Mexico. VJUC1UUI xiou iw-ua. ecuk a uciiiuiuicut of rangers to the scene of the troubles, and they will aid the military authorities in suppressing the uprising. It is reported at Brownsville that Garza has made a bold attempt to capture Fort Kinggold. The report says .that one of his band was pursued bv Mexican troops near Catnargo. The bandit, giving spurs to his horse,- swam to this side. The Mexican troops went after him. The fugitive ran into F.ort Ringsold while the United States soldiers were at dinner and reported that Garza was behind him. "Boots and Saddles" were sounded. The men went out to meet Garza, but soon dis covered that the men were Mexican regu lars. They rushed" back" to Fort Kinggold and found the fugitive had tricked them, and that Garza was coming in at the other end to take Fort Kinggold. The soldiers got backjust in time to save the fort from being sacked. The whole earrison is now underarms. 'The United States telegraph operator has pistols on his operating table for emergencies. Mexican Officers Reported Deserters. The report hasalso reached Brownsville, that several Mexican army officers are join ing Garza's band, apd that a compsny of Mexican regulars had revolted after haying had a fight among themselves.' , A dispatch from Laredo, Tex., says: A report was .current yesterday evening that Catarino Garz4 was killed in an engagement with Captain Hardie's command between Laredo and Carrizo, but nothing authentic can be ascertained. The commanding officer at Fort Mcintosh at a late hour this even ing had received no official confirma tion of the report. There can be no doubt that Garza has been receiving material aid from the Mexican ranches On this side of the Bio Grande, in the vicinity of his re cent encampment, in the counties of En cihal and Duval, where he recruited about 2o0 meu, and that Pena station has been the point where he has received his supplies. The special train bearing two companies of United States troops arrived over the In ternational Bailroad last evening, and they will be forwarded at once to the scene of Garza's disturbance in the vicinity of Bio Grande City and Carrizo. General Diaz on the Matter. General Stanlev has received a letter from President Diaz, dated Mexico City, December 19, which says: "I have seen the general information which you had the kindness to give Plutareo Ornelas, Mexican Consul at San Antonio, em bracinc in it the reports made by the "military authorities of that portion of the frontier which comes under vour iuris- diction, and I give you my most sincere thanks, improving at the "same time this opportunity to manifest to you the pain that has been caused me by the alterations in my telegram sent in cipher to Mexican Minister Romero in Washington, which suffered in publication, transmission and translation. "Its meaning was almost: wholly changed Tiy this want of exactness and by the failure ot the translator to interpretthe'significance of the words, making'it,read just the oppo site what 1 intended to say and what I actually did say.

CHICAGO'S CHRISTMAS RIOT. A PUBLIC STREET IS IMPROVISED AS A RACE COURSE. The Officers Enter a Saloon to Qnell a Fight and Are Locked Up by the Mob Help Arrives, and a. Running Battle Fol lows. Chicago, Dec. 25. A riot, -which at one time threatened to be a most bloody one, took, place this afternoon. A crowd of several hundred males and females,, white and black, assembled on Custom House place to celebrate. The street was turned into a race course, a shot from a revolver being the starter's signal. Two races in quick succession had been run and a third was being started when a squad of policemen arrived. At the same time a general fight began in a neighboring saloon and bullets came crashing through the windows. Two officers in citizens' clothes gained entrance to the saloon, and, being recognized, the cry went up, "Lock the doors and kill the officers.," and ""at the same time the key was turned in the lock. Backing into a corner the officers drew their revolvers, faced the 'ugly crowd and threatened to shoot the first man who moved. Their nerve paralyzed the crowd for a moment, and by that time other offi cers burst open the saloon door and rescued their comrades. The crowd was determined not to leave the saloon, but after a desperate struggle the officers emerged from the.place, each witli a fighting, struggling, desperate prisoner. A patroj wagon was waiting nearby, and despite the eiforts of the crowd in the street, whose sympathies were with the prisoners, the officers succeeded in landing their men. in the wagon. AVhile not a shot was fired by the officers, they were forced to keep up a running fight while in the neighborhood, using their revolvers as billys. As the wagon was moving away a burly negro named Robert Johnson sprang forward and shouted to the crowd: "Come on; lets take them away and kill the coppers." . He was knocked down by a blow from a revolver and unceremoniously thrown into the wagon. With drawn revolvers tbe way was cleared for the wagon, the prisoners constantly struggling for freedom. The whole crowd followed the Matron to the Harrison street station, but despite a last desperate struggle the wagon load of prisoners were'safely placed behind the bars. Other officers arriving, the crowd dispersed.- ' . TEANSFEEENCE OF THOUGHT. Professor T-odgo Is a Firm Believer in Mys terious Communication. Youth's Companion. A great deal of interest has been awak ened by some remarks made at the last meeting of the British Association for the Advancement o'f Science by' Prof. Oliver J. Lodge. Prof. Lodge holds a high rank among men of science in England. What ever he says is, thereforejtentitled to re spectful consideration. Speaking of the limitations of man's knowledge of nature, he referred to the phe nomenon known as "thought transference," and after recalling the fact, which of course everybody knows, that a thought can he- transferred from one mind to another either by the agency of sight, as in writing, or of sound, as iu "speaking, he uttered these, re markable words: "Is it possible that an idea can be trans ferred Xrom one person to another by" a pro cess such as we have not- yet grown accus tomed to and know practically nothing about? In this case I have evidence. I as sert that I have seen it done and anxper fectlf convinced of the fact." Prof. Lodge, who has devoted particular attention to this subject for a number of years, suggests that the ether which per vades space and conveys the waves of light? electricity and so forth may serve as a me dium of communication between mind and mind. In this way many mysterious and apparently miraculous phenomena could be explained without resorting to supernatural agencies. AGAINST THE LOYAL LEOI0N. The Wax Inaasnrated by the O. A. R. In Milwaukee Will Spread. Chicago, Dec 25. A dispatch from Milwaukee says: "There is every pros pect'that the war inaugurated against mem bers of the Loyal Legion by Robert Chivas Post, G. A. R., of this city, will spread. Posts all over the State, are taking sides in the controversy;- anl Chivas Post has been indorsed more' than it 'has been de nounced. "The action of Robert Chivas Post was practically to demand that a boycott be de clared against the ex-officers of the Rebel lion by the ex-privates and non-commissioned "officers. "-The ground was taken that the officers maintained a select organization called the Loyal LegioD, to which only officers were eligible, while the "Grand Army was open to all who had served their country. Jfor the last 25 years the officers have been getting the cream of the political offices, say the Chivas Pest men, and it is high time the privates had a show. To achieve this they call on G. A. R. men to boycott the Loyal Legion men at election times." SCHTV ATK , the Arctic explorer, write for THE DISPATCH to-morrow a descrip tion of a cold day. The thermometer went to 71 degrees helow. MEKTH0L CONE EOS GEIP. A Doctor Recommends Its Use for the Pre vention of the Disease. A rather good thing to have abont one now that la grippe has become so prevalent is a menthol cone, says n doctor in the St. Louis Gldbe-Daitocrat. One medical au thority has stated that it is a preventive of the disease; and,-whethcr that be the case or not, it is certainly benefficial and, ofcourse, harmless. Sniffling it at intervals alleviates any soreness in the mucous membrane of the nose, and, in addition to that, helps to kill the germ which is the cause" of the grip. Bv small precautions of ibis kind a good deal can be done to lessen the danger which is alreodv in our midst. When the menthol is used "by a man with a mustache it is advisable to rub the.mnstache well with it, for the breathing will gradually draw it into the nostrils. COMETS C0HP0SED OF GOLD. Possibility of Celestial Visitors Made Up of the Yellow Mela!. Youth's Companion. Some comets have 6hort bushy tails bend ing sharply backward from the direction of the comets' motion. These tails, it is thought, may be composed of the molecules of iron. Probability is lent to this view.by the fact tliat meteorites are largely com posed of iron, and there is an undoubted connection between meteors and comets. A few years ago a comet appeared whose tail presented such a peculiar curvature that it seemed to be composed nf particles heavier than tile molecules of iron, and it was suggested that, in this case, gold was the element concerned!

Though 5ow in the House of Lords, He Is Still a Unionist Chief. BULGAEIA IS ADVISED TO YIELD. Lord Falisbnry Pears the Quarrel Will Ex pose Soiled Ljnen. SETEKAL SWEET SOCIETY SCANDALS tCOPTRIGHT, 1891. ET THEWEWTOBKASSOCtATID FRESS.l London, Dec. 25. The position of Lord Hartidgton as the leadlr of the dissidents will, remain unaltered on his going into the House of Lords. The papers teem with speculations as to whether Joseph Chamber lain or Sir Henry James will become the virtual head of the party. The question, however, was really settled long ago during the illness from which the late Duke of Devonshire recovered. Under the con currence of Lord Salisbury, who was vainly negotiating for the absorption of Lord Hartington, by the Conservative party? it was determined that Lord Hartington would retain the actual leadership, Mr. Chamberlain taking the lead in the House of Commons.. Sir Henry James declined" even to place himself in competition with Mr. Chamberlain. The old Liberals are forming a strong wing of the dissidents who distrust Mr. Chamberlain's tendency to radicalism. The Conservatives continue to be shy toward a politician with whom they" have little in common except unionism. Tories Idke'Thelr Unionist Ally. But the Tory leaders have tested Mr. Chamberlain's willingness and cananity to work in unison with them. Conservative members generally admit his frankness and integrity as a co-worker, while the Union ists equally recognize his powers as a debater. His less -known qualities as a tacticcian, and his personal courtesy and mental alertness, however, make him the only possible commander of the party in the House of Commons. Lord Hartington, on assuming the duke dom, obtains the Garter which Mr. Glad stone obtained for the deceased Duke and which is thus inherited in succession. Such an ' honor is most unusual, but Lord Salisbury, owing to the existence of his ministry to . Lord Hartington and being unable otherwise to repav his ser vices, is desirous that the new Duke shall accept the Garter. Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to Lord Hartington, expressing regret at the death of his father, Jhe Duke of Devonshire, and recalling their long period of political friendship. A number of eminent Glad stonians will attend the funeral of the Duke, though Mr. Gladstone himself and Mr. Morley will be unable to be present. Salisbury Advfses RuUjaria to Yield. Sif William White, the British Am bassador at Constantinople, while passing through Sofia yesterday, had a short inter view with Premier Stambuloff. Lord Salisbury is reported as having advised the Bulgarian liovernment to go Jar in satisfy ing France in the present juncture. It is the belief of a high official of the Foreign Office that Lord Salisbury, taking an iso lated course, is urging Premier Stambuloff to submit to the demands of M. Ribot, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, al though the Berlin Government is known to be advising the opposite policy. The reports of Mr. O'Connor, the British agent at Sofia,sho w that itwouldnotbe advis able to expose the Stambuloff regime to the scrtitmy wbich would arise from a joint deliberation of the European powers on Minister Ribot's charge of violation ot capitulations, wholesale arrests and pro longed imprisonment without trial, and a savage system of torture to compel con fession. A Tacit Threat or Pro-Russlantsm. Other illegal expulsions, besides that of Chadouine.accompan,y Premier StambulofTs despotic rule, so Lord Salisbury aims to settle the trouble out of court. M. Stambu loff threatens to resign unless the unstinted support of England be accorded to him. As his successor in this event would be M. Stolloff, who would adopt a pro-Prussian policy, the prospect mar compel Lord Salisbury to change his position in the mntter. M. Ribot, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, wanting to force an exposure of the new Bulgarian atrocities, has brought M. Chadouine to Paris to coach him in regard to them. Vienna papers are trying, to ridicule Chadouine as an "ex-waiter and cafe singer." He really served a three year's term in the French army, and afterward became a private secretary to Prince Alexander-of Battenberg when the latter was Prince of Bulgaria. He fol lowed the latter's fortnnes for a long time after his abdication, but subsequently re turned to Sofia as an unpaid secretary of the French diplomatic agencv there, and a correspondent of the Havas News Agency. In fact, he knew too much for M. Stam buloff. Captain 0borne Thlevlntr Wife. The disgraced Mrs. Captain Osborne, who stole and sold jewels of Mr. Hargreaves, is now somewhere in the south of France. But - for her being Sir Henry James' goddanehter, she would now" have been lying in prison awaiting trial for perjury and theft. Relatives of the woman are arranging a settlement of the jewels.and Spinks' claim for the 550 he paid for the stolen pearls. These have been restored to Major and Mrs. Hargreaves, who have now returned to Torquav to quietly lionize in society. Engelhart s position toward Mrs. Har greaves is explained as that of an old friend of the family. The stories of his impe cuniosity are denied. The stables over which he lived indicated wealth instead of poverty. They are model buildings, fitted up with every luxury of a man devoted to horses. The quarters of the grooms are ideal bachelor chambers. He owns both hunteis and trotters. The Worst Society ScandVil to Com,". The next society scandal will be. Lord Howard de Walden's petition for a divorce from his wife. The case, however, will be divested of much of the public interest which would otherwise have attended it, by the withdrawal of certain shocking charges which" the wife desired to plead as the grounds for a sep aration from her husband. The Earl Rus sell case operates to restrain the counsel from permitting the scandalpus allega tions to be made in open court, unsupported by sufficient prool. Efforts to have the case heard in camera have been defeated, and the public will now h treated to a revelation of the domes tic Uf!of aristocrats, in which drunken as saults and indecencies unworthy the lowest rowdy figure largely. Earl Russell as art" Evangelist. Earl Russell has appeired in a new role. He now reads the lessons in the family church at Wimbledon on Sundays. For saking agnosticism, of which both his lather arid mother were avowed advocates, he has become a broad churchman and an earnest Evangelist. The whole of the Prince of Wales' family are celebrating Christmas at Marlborough House. Thfe members of the Prince's Sandringham household and the tenants on the estate were given a'dinner at the hall to-night. Thev will be banqueted to-moN row as well, and to-morrow night a ball will be given for them, at which the Prince, of Wales himself promises to be present. Preparing for .the Royal Nnptials. The Duke of Cambridge is credited with endowing Princess "Victoria Marv with 5,000 yearly. Despite the expenses at- tacnea to nis morganatic lanmy, nis own savings and his annual income of 30,000 have enabled him to be generous to his favorite niece. It has been decided the dresses to be worn by the bridemaids of the Princess will be of white and silver,-trimmed with May blossoms. They will wear veils and wreaths, but their toilets will have no trains. The corporation of the city of "London will'present the Princess with a silver din ner service and a diamond necklace, and the Duke of Buccleugh will give her a diamond bracelet. The members of the nobility are vieing with each other in the costliness of their gifts of jewelry and plate to the young couple. FOR A TAX BILL.

"My disease crew steadily worse as time passed until the're was not an hour or a mm nte in which I did not suffer from it. My head hurt me all the time, and it appears to me I bad pains all over me.

Mrs. Margaret Perrjf, cor. ktreets. Ann and MoultrU This is the way Mrs. Perry tells her story: "For five years I had suffered from sovere headaches and such pilns over the eyes tbae I could not give attention to my household duties.

This aggravated my headaches and tended very much to the confusion of my idea". The doctors whom I consulted said lny trouble was neuralgia. Thongh they treated me faithfully and did the best thev could the sickness continued, "This was my condition when in May. 137. at tho request of friends I consulted Dr. Byers.
