They did not look as if they had stopped to wash their faces and hands either. Their uni forms were such as Sirs. Jennets Miller recommends for little girls not old enough lor corsets. Each man wore a chemiloon like a com bination Test and trousers over a flannel shirt. The Yale men wore blue shirts and stockings, and the Princeton boys wore striped garments of those two kinds, so that the colors ot both teams showed on their arms and legs. In front of each shin the men wore what appeared like half a corset, their old, patched and dirty canvas breeches were padded so that halt the men looked as if their leg bones were broken and pro truding. And here and there a man had a great black leather cup fitted over his nose. "Whether they were muscular men or mere spindle shanks done up in cotton bat ting there was no'hing in sight to tell. That any of tliem could ever be washed and dressed to look like a gentleman seemed a preposterous fancy. Around the edge of the field sat a lot of such men who were not in the game, but were ready to take the places ot such as might be tilled or man gled. Pictures or the Side Line. The writer of this thoroughly untcch nical report, never having seen anything like them except in South Sea Island nicturcs, studied them with interest. Their hair fell over tbeir foreheads like the thatch on a Devonshire roof. Tlrey liad five hob nails on the sole of each shoe, everv one larger than the largest that Alpine climbers use. Some had their heads bandaged as it their skulls had been broken and had been glued and tied up as women mend broken china. One man had his ear deftly set into a thick circlet of flannel and cotton, like it is not a pretty simile but It is the best one a corn plaster. Any one of half a dozen ot these ambassadors from our chief seats ot intellectual activity could have got S25 a week in a Bowery museum as a Fijii can nibal, without a touch of grease, paint or an alteration ot any sort. The game of football having been called it began in earnest at once, like a tussel be tween a bull moose. All the queer, mis shapen canvas figures stood in a group with their heads together and tbeir broader ends describing an oval. Between their knobbed and disjointed legs could be seen the ball which, from that moment, monopolized the attention of every man as if it were an eternal iortune that the god. would give to vthoever could catch it and get off with it. The Way They Flayed the Ball. The man with the ball wabbled and fum bled if nervously, and the fellows on the ends of the oval pushed and punched and shoved one another in a way that seemed purposeless at first, but was really an im portant part ot the play. At the right mo ment, or at all moments, it distracted the attention of the man w hose side had not got the ball and impaired his usefulness. Finally the ball waslet go, somebody got it and ran, somebody else caught him by the seek and flung him down, and, quicker than Bowery photography, ail the 22 were atop of one another. Some had their legs in the air, some had tbeir legs out straight, some had their legs bent under them and some seemed to hare no legs at all. It is useless for one who does not understand the game to attempt to describe it in detail. A ievr notes of what occurred during its progress will serve to bring out in strong lights the impressions it produced. It was only twice or perhaps three times that a player who got the ball succeeded in running 20 vards with it. His opponent seemed to spring out of the earth, whoever had it and wherever he went. When they got up to him they flung him in various ways to suit each occasion. The commonest wav was to book an arm about his neck and fall and drag him down with the impetus of two men weighing 170 pounds and running at full speed. , Some of the Fecnllar Methods, A clever way, much in favor with the Yale men, was to run up against the man and carom against him with a terrible butt of one shoulder. Thereupon the man who nas butted lost his equilibrium, staggered and went down like an ox. Phil King, the Princeton Captain, had a method all his own. In the first half of the game, at a time when Laurie Bliss was making a bold dash in the open with the ball at his right breast, Ivinc came to him diagonally with the speed of a greyhound and while 10 feet off lurched forward, lifted his feet from the ground and flung him like a bullet, bang against Bliss' ribs. Sometimes tbe two sets ot oung Senecas would rush against one another with such a crash tnat a hiss accom panied tbe impact, as the breath was knocked out of a drzen at once. The whole 22 tore over the field this way and that, leaving it all tufted behind them where their hobnails had torn up the turf. Now and then not teldoni, but often when a bunch that bad been wriggling on the ground like eels in a box rose to their feet and passed on, they lelt what looked like a dead man on thefield. "Who's that hurt?" was the cry that ran around the amphitheater as the people saw the form ot a man on his back, pale, with his mouth open, pulling his legs up and don n as if he had been hurt in the stomach or clutching the grass like a man who is suffering. Laurie Bliss "Done Up." Laurie Bliss was one of these victims and saw the last part of the game while being led around, muffled up like a squaw in mid winter with a lriend at each elbow. He was hurt more than once. Two or three others know how it feels from the same day's experience. When a man was hurt, it several times 1 appened that a player ran toward the umpire with his hand up, as if to reproduce the scene in the Roman Coli Eeum, when the signal with the thumbs ot the peonlc up or down, settled the fate of the -vanquished. To judge from the atti tudes ol the players, their thumbs might have gone down as readily as up, for they invariably drew ofl to one side and talked and laughed. Never more than two, or at the outside four, stopped over the injured man or clus tered around him. Attendants with pails, sponges and mysterious valises always ran from the edge ot the field on such occasions and swabbed the boy's face with cold water, while some one else rubbed the part that he said hurt him, or patted and spanked his breast to encourage his breathing. At one time, after Bliss was hurt, two men lugged a white canvas stretcher on the field, but nothing was done with it Al ways in less than three minutes the injured fellow was on his ieet, usually with a cry of "I'm all right." Soon Forget Their Harts. At 21 to 25 years of age their bones are soft, and the exercise tbey get makes them so supple that they are not easily hurt. Of course there will be a bad hurt on the field some day. If it is a death, it will also be the death of public football, for the resem blance to Rome does not go as far as Albany or even the Common Council chamber. The hurts that are commonest, however, seem to be twists aud sprains got in falling and the results of being under a mountain ot other lellows. As fast as a fellow was knocked out an other man took his place, so that the game is more like a battle than a prize fight If 22 ordinary men were to imitate one such rush as these fellows make, they would have to be picked up in hand baskets, but the Yale and Princeton men have reduced the art of falling to as great a science as the trick of throwing down. They are like cats though "like druuken men" is a bet ter parallel They fall so loosely, curled up and rounded in such ingenious shapes that they might as well be so many balls for all the hurt it does them, seven times out ol ten. Now and then a fellow was seen wiping blood lrom his face as fast as it flowed, but these hurts were nose bleeds. The vim of the men was so intense and they were so active that through the biting winter wind the prespiration rolled oft every man of them. If they did not show concern over injuries they were certainly most consider ate of one another where a chill was threatened, when tuere was an inter J mission, or a wordv wranele. or man hurt. Ltbe fellow's on the sides of the field stripped off their overcoats and ran in and bundled up tbe players as eagerly and gallantly as ever men guarded sweethearts. JtJLIAX RALPH. THE BATTLE IN FULL.

New Yoke, Nov. 24. AH the hubbub preceding the game was dwarfed into in significance as tbe blue sweater of tbe first Yale player made its appearance at the little gate in one corner of the oval. Yale's eleven was the first on the field and was quickly followed by Princeton. The coin was tossed. Captain King called the fall correctly. He chose the northwest goal, thereby securing the advantage of a stiff breeze. The teams lined up as follows: PBISCETON. Name. Position. Weight. TtindolDh Left end ICO Age. 24 Lea.

On an open play, the line being spread out and then wheeling into inter ference, Laurie Bliss made nine yards run ning to the left He was brought down by Trenchard. "Pop" Bliss made five through left tackle, being thrown by King. Then Laurie Bliss made tbe run of the day.

Another fumble In the Princeton center and then Poe went through left tackle for three yards, being followed by Lea through right tackle for three more. Tho Tigers were playing a hard and a snappy game. Morse gained three yards throuch the center and Homans tried to drop kick a goal from the 25-vard line. He failed. McCorniick" gained seven on the wedge from Yale's 25-yard line, and Pop Bliss went around right end for three yards, be ing, thrown by Trenchard. Batterworth kicked to Princeton's 45-yard line.

Prince ton lost ten yards through Homans' slow ness. Butterworth went through right tackle for five yards and Laurie Bliss tried center, but lost the ball. The Tigers Fight Hard. Poe jumped lor, but missed a wild pass from King, and Greenway fell on the ball cleverly. Pop Bliss' signal was given, but Trenchard broke through and downed him for a less ot five yards. Then Lea broke through and threw L. Bliss for a loss of five more. Then Yale was awarded five yards for holding by the Princeton forwards. Butterworth made two yards through right tackle. The Tigers forwards were break ing through and tackling hard. Butter worth made three yards through right tackle, and L. Bliss followed in the same direction tor five yards. The ball was hovering around midfield. Butterworth kicked to Princeton's 35-yard line, where Homans caught the ball in the face of Hinkey's charge. Morse dove through left tackle lor a three-yard gain. Then Poe, Lea and Morse failed to gain ground through Yale's line. Homans punted up the field to Princeton's 50-yard line where Butterworth caught the ball. Laurie Bliss went around the right end for a 15-yard gain and Butterworth went through right tackle for five yards, being slowed by Pop Bliss for two yards more in the same' direction, King bringing him to earth. The ball was now on Princeton's 30-yard line. L. Bliss went around right end for four yards, and Bandolph threw him. But terworth plugged away at the center and gained two yards. Pop Bliss tried the lelt tackle, but Harrold uailed him before lie could gain. Balliett was bothering Still man, and a fumble in the Yale center oc curred, but Pop Bliss saved tbe ball by dropping on it Then Pop made a plunge at Princeton's center, but Wheeler brought him down before he could gain a yard, and the ball was Princeton's on the fourth down. Back and Forward With the BalL King passed to Poe, who passed to Homans, Hinkey tackling the latter for a loss of five yards. Yale at this period was plaving a trifle stronger and facing the play. Homans kicked to midfield and Laurie Bliss muffed the ball, but saved it by falling on it He redeemed himself by a nine-yard gain in right, which was terminated by Poe's tackle. Butterworth plugged the center again for two yards. L. Bliss went through right tackle for two yards. Princeton was awarded the ball for holding.

Bliss' signal was given, but King broke through and dashed him down, causing a loss of five yards. The plucky little Yale halfback took the ball from the next line up and made four yards around the left en1, being brought down by Bandolph. Butterworth made a short kick, in fact, only ten yards, aud King made a free catch in midfield Poe went through the center for five yards, Mc Cormick bringing him down.

No More Score This Halt "Pop" Bliss lost two yards through King's great tackle. Butterworth punted to midfield where Greenway brought Ho mans down. Morse started for right end, but gained onlv one yard, as Hinkey grabbed him. Then JMorse went at lelt tackle and gained, three yards. Homans made a good healthy punt and Butterworth caught the ball within ten yards of Yale's goal line. The ball, however, was brought back to the spot of the last scrimmage and given to Yale for holding in the Princeton line. "Laurie" Bliss made five vards around right end before Lea and Bandolph nabbed him and "Pop" Bliss and Butterworth failed to gain ground. Butterworth punted to Princeton's 30-yard line, where Poe made a free catch "iust as time was called. The score was 6-0 in Yale's favor and the E laying had been fairly even. The Tigers ad broken through quickly and tackled bard while Yale's work had been below their usual form. The teams stayed in their dressing rooms for the full 15 minutes of intermission and both tbe Yale and Princeton coaches talked to players. Yale came out first and at 3:12 the ball was put in play by Princeton. A regulation close wedge was formed and Morse was given the balL The wedge opened and let him out on striking the Yale rushers and Morse gained 11 yards. On the line up both teams seemed to be more aggressive than in the first half. Johnny Poe aimed for left tackle and was downed by Wallis with one yard gained. Lea started for the opposite "tackle, but Winter jarred the earth with him and the ball was not ad vanced an inch. Morse tried the center, but Stillman stopped him with no gain. Homans was forced to punt and kicked 20 yards out of bounds, Butterworth falling on the balk Tale Tries to Bush the Line. Yale forced the ball 20 vards on rush line plays. Wallis and Winter each gained five, Lea and Morse stopping them. C. Bliss left nothing at left tackle, and Butter worth was given the signal three time in succession for 3 and 5 yards through the center and 5 yards in a mass play on right tackle. The end men then worked successfully. C Bliss was interfered for by McCormick, and Winter skirted Trenchard's eud for 19 yards and was caught by Homans. Butter worth was pushed two yards in the effective mass-or-tackle play, and "Laurie" Bliss re peated his favorite act by getting around the right end and going 30 yards, the pro tection by Wallis, Butterworth and Mc Cormick "being notably fine. Hall finally threw him heavily, and the Yale half back strained bis knee severely, but re sumed playing alter five minutes. Only 15 yards of this run was allowed for holding by Yale, and Princeton was given the ball on her 40-yard line, Hinkey broke through and tackled Morse with a loss of five yards. Then Homans tried a lake kick, but was awfully slow, and was thrown in hi stracks by Hinckey before he had started to run. Homans then punted in earnest, and L. Bliss caught the ball. On the next down he skirted the right end for a 15-yard gain, being thrown by King. But terworth squirmed four yards on a mass play and eight through the center. Watter batted four yards through the line, and Winter took his turn. He fumbled the ball and picked it up, but was put to the earth by King, with no gain. Homans Makes a Bad Kick. Butterworth also fumbled trying to punt and ran three yards before Harrold nabbed him. Princeton took the ball on four downs on the 40-yard line. Poe tried the right end and met Hinckey before he could gain. Homans faked a kick, ran a few feet and then punted. Butterworth made a fair catch on the Yale 50-yard line, and got five yards for interference by the Prince ton ends. The long-suffering Butter worth ploughed through for three and five yards in masses on right and left tackles. "Laurie" Bliss scored one yard after a long run for the right end. Butterworth gained four yards in a center shove and the ball was given to Princeton for holding on her 35-jard line. Poe made a gallant attempt to buck the line but was stopped short. Wheeler pushed through for three yards and then Homans was forced to punt. It E roved to be the most disastrous kick of is career. Stillman went through the lusty Balliett like a flash, and McCommick was right with him. The ball struck big Stillman with the boom of a bass drum, and bounded away down the field and across the white line of the Princeton goal. Still man ran as his dearest friends never be lieved he could sprint, with Philking just ahead of him. Behind the goal posts King dove for the ball, missed the ball, and the Yale center was on the pigskin for a touch down and glory enough fur the rest of his life. Butterworth kicked the easy goal just 22 minutes after the half was called. Score: Yale, 12; Princeton, 0. No Further Score Was Made. During the remainder of the half nothing more was mane, aunougn tne Princeton men fought like tigers. They forced the ball into Yale's territory, and made her act on the defensive for a good part of the time. King worked like a Trojan, and was ably supported by his men. Trenchard was slightly hurt, but he would not give up. Homans made an unsuccessful attempt to kick a goal from the field. The Bliss broth ers made good gains for Yale, and pushed the ball downward by a yard toward Prince ton's goal. Time was getting short and every inch of the ground 'was stubbornly contested. Princeton confined her efforts to keeping Yale from scoring azain and succeeded. When time was called the ball was near Princeton's line. A mighty shout went up as the teams lined ofl the field. The work ot Laurie Bliss and Phil King, who had only two Sood 1"S between them, cannot be too highly spoken of. King especially played through the contest with locked jaws and evidently suffering excru ciating pain. The Yale runners who had safely passed the striped line and who had the goal within reach found King in their path and stopped. At least two touch downs were saved by King's fierce tackling, and one of them, on Princeton's ten-yard line, was of the finest order; but the poor fellow collapsed from the pain in his leg as soon as time was called. $ r - " , vi Aiiss a. oireet, ait. i una Airs.

They Say,That.Tale Didn't Play the Game Bight Charges Thatthe Umpire Showed Favoritism for the Other Colors How Princeton Took Its Defeat New York,"Kov. 24. Special When the whistle of tho referee sounded and he shouted "Yale wins!" Little Johnnie Poe, the left half : back of the defeated team, turned away with bowed head. His brother, the famous ex-Captain Poe, caught him in his arms and together the brothers started for the clubhouse. As they walked the head of the younger bent lower and lower. At last his hands covered his face and he began to sob. "It's all over; don't make a fuss," said his brother. "No, it's not all over," was the answer. "This year's game is gone, but next year we will fight again." So it was with the rest ot the team. They felt their defeat keenly, but with their disappointment came a resolve that next year Princeton should not' lose. Captain King l:mped into the dressing room with his brother, Colonel Sam King, of Washington. He sat down on a bench in a corner and for five minutes recognized no one. His elbows rested on his knees and his face was buried in his hands. They Faced Defeat Bravely. Across the room sat Johnnie Foe. Morse and Homans stood together by the stove. Big Hall and "Beef Wheeler limped up and down with set teeth. Harold, Trench ard, Bandolph and Lea talked over the game in low tones. Balliett sat alone be side the door. When asked later about the game Cap tain King Baid: "I want to let the men know that I believe they did tbeir best Tale scored both her touchdowns on flukes. Take tbe first touchdown. Yale began work quickly and kept up the pace. Bliss weut through our left end. Luck was with Yale throughout the remainder ot tbe game, for she had no such chance to get through as when Bliss had the ball that time. The second touchdown was made by the block of Homans' kick. I tried to get tbe ball as it rolled back of the line, but it was two of Yale to one of Princeton. Yale held us right through the game. Her tackles caught and held me time and again. The umpire, it seemed, did not see Yale hold. Bnt if you notice it Yale got five yards several times for alleged holding by us." Shephard Homans, Princeton's full back, said: "We were beaten by flukes. I think Yale was surprised at'our game." Center Bush Balliett said: "Yale held us in the line a great deal, and it seemed the umpire could onlv see our arms." Big Hall said: "I played for all that was in me. I am not hurt, and the game was not very rough. They beat us by having luck with them. They held too much for fair football" Tale Held. Too Much. "Beer Wheeler was uncommunicative. He said: "They beat us. We played our best, but they held us. I am not hurt" Poe said: "Yale did not play her old time aggressive game. Luck was against us, too. Yale's men held us a great deal. But I do not complain. We were beaten." Half Back Moore was plain spoken: "Yale's rush line held us so much that it was hardly fair lootbalL Our men held very little. Yet the umpire always saw us aud never saw Yale." Harrold, Bandolph and Lea voice the sentiments ot Poe. Trenchard, with his face cut and bloody, smiled and said: ".bunny how they held and were never caught Tbeir touchdowns were on flukes." The general opinion of tbe eleven, al though no man would assume the responsi bility tor the statement, is that Yale's score was smaller than either team expected. Light was thrown on Princeton's defeat by the University of Pennsylvania by informa tion received last night The Pennsylvania team knew Princeton's signals almost as well as their own. They anticipated every plsy. How they got their knowledge was a problem that puzzled Princeton tor some time. Their watching of team play or even close observance of the eleven's work in match games would not have enlightened them. The leak, it is said, was at Prince ton. The Games of the Past Seventeen games have been played by Yale and Princeton. Ot these Yale won ten and Princeton six. The game in 1877 was a tie. The first game between the universi ties was played in 1876, and Yale won by 2 goals to 0. Neither team scored in 1877. Princeton was victorious in the following year. The orange and black scored n touch down to her opponent's nothing. For three years after Princeton also won bv 5 safeties to 2, 11 safeties to 5 and 3 to a The Rugby rules were introduced in 1883, and then Yale made up for her defeats by winning three successive games from Princeton. The latter team won in 1885 by 6 to 5, but in 188G Yale beat the orange and black by 4 to 0. Princeton did not pose as a victor again until 1880, when she defeated Yale by 10 to 0. Yale has 'been champion ever since. Last year she won by 19 to 0. PITTSBURG'S DELEGATION To the Great Taie-Frlnceton Game Larger This Year Than Ever Old College Grad uates, Renew Their Youth Thousands Leave the City. Every year Pittsburg's delegation to the Yale-Princeton game in New York becomes larger and larger. This year the rush was greater than ever; every person who had the means and time was in the metropolis to witness the mighty contest between the great athletic giants. Bailroads were taxed to their utmost to carry the crowds. Berths were engaged weeks in advance, and the tardy ones who left that duty till the last were disappointed. Business men who had to leave the city on the spur of the moment were either compelled to take undesirable trains or pass the journey in a common coacu. Of course college graduates were in the majority in the crowds that left the city, but the representation of business men and their families was by no means small. The college boys left Pittsburg with the inten tion ot having a grand old time. Each one supplied with the paint pot of opportunity and a well-trimmed brush of experience of many previous Thanksgivings, it is need less to sar that they got what they went after. Bed indeed is a delicate color when compared with the hue with which New York was decorated last night Mauy of the college men, who were unable to get off from business in time to witness the game, have cone on for the after effect Tnis is one ot the features of the game and is of varied duration, in some cases, the men not recovering for a month. Yesterday was a fete day for some of the order of benedicts who are college gradu ates. It is the one time during the year that their wives waive their strict ideas of temperance and allow tbe men to be boys again. The grand keeper of the cupboard was not with them yesterday to limit their quaff from the flowing bowl. If you ob serve a great number of people "on the street going through tbe sign language do not be alarmed and think that an epidemic of deal and dumbness has come among us it is only the people who have returned from the game, who, is their wild enthu siasm, have shouted and yelled until they have lost their voices. A New York special says that there were over a thousand prominent Pittsburgers there yesterday, most ot whom saw the game." As instance the great number of Pittsburgers in New York at the various hotels. Following is a list of some of those at the Fifth avenue: Mr. and Mrs. Bell, Mrs. William Clark, Miss Clark. Charles S.

Pennsylvania's University Eleven Bolls TJp the Biggest Score Yet Philadelphia, Nov. 24. ISpeetAJ The Wesleyan football team was defeated to-day in the closing game of the Inter collegiate championship season in Pennsyl vania by the score of 34 to 0. This is the worst drubbing the Middletown boys have ever received from the Pennsylvanians, the highest previous score made against them by Pennsylvania being 14 to 0 in 1886. The game this afternoon was played on the grounds of the Germantown Cricket Club, where Princeton also met with defeat this vear About 8,000 people were present, but as hardly more than a score of them were partisans of Wes.eyan,the enthusiasm was rather one-sided. Captain Smith won the toss for Wesleyan and chose the west goal with a strong uind in his favor. Pennsylvania started a rush game and Wesleyan's weakness on the line quickly developed. Pennsylvania quickly advanced the ball rapidly, but as it neared Wesleyan's goal bad fumbling caused them to lose it Good runs by Fordyce and Page carried the ball to Pennsylvania's ten-yard line, but Wesleyan could make no gains against Pennsylvania's line and the ball went to the latter on four downs. After 35 minutes' play by hard rush and Pennsylva nia carried Thayer over Wesleyan's line for a touchdown. Thayer failed to kick the goal and when time was called the four from Thayer's touchdown was all Pennsyl vania had scored. A few minutes after play began in the second halt Fordyce by a fine run of 40 yards carried the ball to Pennsylvania's 10 yanl line, but Wesleyan could "not advance, and the ball went to Pennsylvania on lour downs. Pennsylvania's goal was not in danger again during the game, for after this effort Wesleyan went to pieces and Penn sylvania scored almost as it pleased. Camp made three touchdowns, Thomson, M. Deckey one, and Thayer one for a total of 30 points before time was called in the second half. The teams lined up as fol lows: Pennsylvania. Position, Wesleyan.

Special Leases of coal lands in Bethlehem townT 'ship, recently- made to Brown & Co., of Pittsburg, will be made a matter of con tention in the courts. According to these contracts, lessees 'were to have 60 days after acceptance of tho leases to make the usual surveys, deeds and first payments. It is alleged by the original land owners that the options expired ten days before Brown & Co., by attorney, tendered first payments on some of them, within a lew days cast. The money was refused in most cases, and the company's agent or agenti declared on these refusals that the tender was according to the terms of agreement, and they would appeal to the courts for redress. In the remarkable impetus recentlv given to the development of coal lands ail over the western part of the State there is no necessity for options going begging, and this matter has been complicated by some of the lands on which Brown & Co. still claim to hold options being reoptioned to other parties.

Ellis a Having Lunatic CHAINED DOWN IN A PADDED CELL He Chases Imaginary Train EotberB Across tbe Continent. A PAIR W0MAS IS ALWAYS IN HIS PATH Dime novels have turned the brain of John Ellis, and he is in the Allegheny General Hospital a raving lunatic Ellis' home is at Export, Ind., and last Wednesday he came to Allegheny. .He was picked up on the streets as a suspicious character. When he was placed in the lockup i( was seen that he was crazy. Ellis imagined he was a great detective. His mfsty mind made him think he was shadowing a daring train robber, who had .sought cover in Pitts burg or Allegheny. There was a woman in the case. Ellis portrayed her as a lovely female, who was following in his wake, trying to throw him off the track. He thinks himself possessed with wonderful mental and physical powers. As a detective all the sleuths ot the land can not compare with him in his estimation. Ellis still has a great regard for Sullivan, although the former champion met his Waterloo when he encountered Corbett The deluded boy thinks, however, that he can worst John L., and is only waiting for an opportnnitv to challenge him. Yesterday Ellis was examined by Dr. Hazzard and it was thought best to remove him to the hespital. When he was taken there he attacked the physicians and tried to killDr.Corbett,because he bore the same name as the man who defeated, Sullivan. He fought all the attendants. The great trouble with him is that the nurses are detaining him in his great detective achieve ments. He became so violent that he had to be placed in a padded cell and straight laced. He soon managed to rid himself of these jackets, and finally had to be chained. Last night he worked him self into an awful frenzy, and the hospital rang with his yells. He reviewed all the wild Indian stories he had ever read. One moment he was chasing the red man across the plains of the Far West, and the next hot in pursuit of his visionary train robbers. ONE OF MURPHY'S CASES. The Bobbery Trial of a MCillvale Merchant Promises a Sensation. Greensbxtbg, Nov. 24. Special The Sitman-Carnaban robbery case will be de cided in th Criminal Court here to-morrow. The case is one of general interest in this part of the State. Six months ago John Carnahan, a wealthy bachelor near West Newton, was robbed of J6,300. P. J. Murphy, of Pittsburg, was engaged by Carnahan to do detective work in the case. The detective secured an alleged confession from one Jacob McNally, employed on Carnahan's farm, stating that he and his nephew, Frank McNally, stole the money, and that Harry Sitman, a prosperous merchant, doing business in Hill vale, was a party to the robbery, having planned the 'robbery and received the portion of the moneythat was in gold and silver after the raid had betn made. According to the theory of the prosecution, Sitman was to get half of Jacob McNally 's share of the money. The implication of Sitman was a veritable thanderbolt to tbe community were he is known. Sitman swears that he was an in nocent, holder of apart of the money, it having been given him by the .McNaliys for sate keeping, and the argument of the attorneys for the defense is that when the McNaliys were entrapped bv the Pittsburg detective they implicated Sitman in the hope of shielding themselves, Jacob Mc Nally turning State's evidence. The money, or a greater part of it, was recovered from Sitman. The Pittsburg detective, Murphy, has not appeared at the trial.
