Wnlbrldge, Lafayette's gteot half back, did not discover until after the battle that his nose was bro ken. The whole team suffered from ovcr-conlldence, even though some of the best players were crippled. Cor nell's dash took Lafayette completely lj surprise, and not until tho second half did the Knston collegians wake up to the situation. Then It was too late. Parke Davis, the Lafayette roach', deolars that Cornell's touch down was not fairly made, and that an unjust ruling by the referee de prived Walbrldge of n sure touchdown. The Cornell men. on the other hand, declare that Lafayette's touchdown was a fluke, and that they would have surely won had tho came been played at Ithaca. As it is, Cornell's, stock is booming nnd tho enthusiasm nt Ithaca is Increasing. The Lafayette players will rest nearly nil this week so as, to bo fit for the game with Pennsylvania next Saturday. WILKES.BARRE VS. SCRANTON. High School Foot Hnll Elevens Will Piny Horn Saturday. The Scranton and Wlkes-IJarre High school foot ball elevens will play at Athletic park Saturday afternoon. In view of the natural local strife between tho two cities and the same spirit that exists between the two teams, a bitterly-fought contest may be antici pated.

WORK ON THE BIG SPRING BROOK DAM Water Company Has Begun lis Glgaollc Undertaking. AT HEADWATERS OF MILL CREEK Stnrngo Ilcnorvolr Will Ho of Im incuso Hlzo unit Cnpncity-Tlio Mn sonry nnd Intensive Knrthworks Ucrinlritie tho I.nbor ol Hundreds ol .Men--Tho Dnm NcnrinB Completion Work Is progressing on the massive storage dams of tho Spring urooK Water Supply company. Tliclr great size and capacity nviy bo ii'allzed from the following which oppcarcd in the Plttston Gazette: Tile reservoir will be ono of tho great est In the country, and an Immense amount of work is squired to get it In shape. Tho work has been In pro gress slnco early last spring. At pre sent tome 300 men are employed on both stone and earth work, and the scene presented Is on of tho greatest activity quite a contrast, Indeed, with the surrounding mountainous country, where but few people arc to be found and where the ch'araetetlstle quietness of tho virgin forest prevails. The val ley through which How the- headwaters of Mill Creek Is, however, far from un interesting, and that particular portion In which the water company's opera tions ure located lylnc. as It does, tit th' frot of noble Hald Mount, on the east side, nnd which on tho west side a mount from which PltUtcn can be plainly seen affords a most delightful prospect, and one which nt the present time is thoroughly enjoyable, the P'r fect nutumn weather adding to the va ried natural charms of the spot. MOUNTAINOUS REGION. Quite a number of Plttston people are employed on the reservoir, nnd they make their wny out by a rather rough road which passes through Yatesvllle, joining the mnln road nt the entrance to the big stone culverts of the Lehigh Valley's mountain cut-off. The most desirable road for teams, however, lies through Miner's Mills, from which the dnm Is about four miles distant, and this Is tho one used by the water com pany's teams for the transportation of materials used In the work. It was along this road, mldwny between Miner's Mills nnd the cut-off culverts, that "Red Nosed Mike" und his gng murdered young Paymaster McClure and Mr.Flanagnn while the cut-off was being built, and a heap of rough stones at the side of the road marks the spot where the first victim was found. The road Is In splendid condition nt this season nnd no difficulty is experienced in getting along rapidly until after the Kresgevllle school house Is reached. Here tho road branches, that to the dam leading past the Fisher farm, and tho wny Is rather rough. Oscar Lance, of Plymouth, general manager of the Spring Hrook Water Supply company's operations, has gen eral charge of tho operations, while his brother, Dellaven Lance, of Plymouth, and William Davles, of Wyoming, di rectly supervise tho work. Worden's creek runs through the val ley in which the dam Is being built, this being one of tho two main creeks which join a short distance below to form Mill creek, the other being known as Gardner's. It Is a mere rill at the pre sent, but the water is of the purest and the company olflclals say that the wat ershed Is so extensive being seven miles long and four miles wide that during the wet season the creek quick ly rises to large proportions, so that they do not anticipate any lack of water, even for tho large territory to be supplied. That portion of the valley which Is intended to be used for storage purposes covers nn area of about 100 ncres and con trasting Its bare aspect with the sur rounding mountainous country fur nishes some idea of the Immense amount of work which has been re quired to complete the transformation, Naturally the land was covered with a stunted tre growth, besides hundreds of thousands of dead roots. All of these have not been removed, the roots not being burned, but actually grubbed out by machine and hand. All of tb leaf mould has also been removed, leaving the 100 acres In a most desir able and healthful condition for uso as a storage reservoir. So far as se curing healthful conditions is concern ed this company is leaving nothing un done. MASSIVE MASONRY, The masslveness of the masonry at tracts attention. The main dam that upon which the pressure of water will ocme direct, Is In tho centre of tho val ley For throi months, we nro told, a large corps of men were nt work pre paring for the foundation, which is laid In the solid natural rock bed. Up on this the dam is now being built, nnd, looking at It from above, It lias the appearance of work that no body of water however vast, could over-enm.-. The masonry Is first class rub ble work, pea conglomerate of fine quality found on the ground being us ed. Up to a week or two ago the stone was quarried from tho mountain side a few hundred feet from the dam. Th, supply recently ran out. however, and it was necessary to open a quarry on the mountain side nlout a mile down the valley, the stone being lirought to the dam by moans of cars, which, pull ed up to the quarry empty by horses, run back loaded by gravity. The railroad, superintendent Lanco said, was built In an emergency, bilng laid out nnd constructed all within a, week's time. The entire length of the stone work Is 1.200 feet. The main dam wall Is 200 feet In length, nnd the width runs from fifty fet at tho bottom to eight feet at the top. The wall has a pitch of eight Inches from the foot to within twenty-four feet of the top, thence gradually changing until the last eight feet of the wall Is perp-'ndlculnr. Tho work on the main dam is nbout two-thirds finished, but Is being push ed as rapidly as possible and It is hoped to complete It bofoie winter sets In In earnest. Three steam derricks und threo Boperate corps of min are nt work on tho main wall. Two other steam dewlcks are In operation on oth er portion?, of the work, and the alxth will be placed In position 4n a few days Extending from thi main dam, on ench side, are what are known ns core walls. These nio walls with earth em bankments protecting each aide. Spec lal pains are being taksn in construct ing tho em'baakmont on the Inside pf the core wall. Pure earth is used, nil roots and etoncs being picked out, and each layer of twelvo inches Is roll ed with a three-ton roller. Tho core will bo further protected by wing walls on each side. The embankment readi es to within three feet of tho top of the core wall, which will be the maximum height of tho watr in tho dam. the spillway In tho centre of tho dam being IPO feet long and three feet high. (The core wall are nearly completed, and work has been started on tho wins; walls, SOON HE FINISHED. "Without doubt twxt spring will find tho dam in use. with a billion irallons of pure mountain water ready to sup ply tho people of Willtes-Uarre tho year round. Tho water will run through tho creek from tho storage dnm to an In take dnm now belnc built two and a. half miles down tho valley, nnd thenoo will bo piped six .alias to tho county scat. UK WAS Till: Y'OUNC.r.R. Hut Ho round Thnt Distinction Had Its Drawback!". D. W. Caldwell, the late president of the l.ake Shore, and John V. Miller, general superintendent of tho south west system of tho Pennsylvania, were fi lends nil their lives, but there wns one thing on which they could never agree, nnd that was as to which was the older. One day they were driving up to Caldwell's country homo In a buggy. "John," saMd tho Lake Shore man, "you havo nlwnvs Insisted that I nm older than you." "Why, of course. I wus born in" "That's all rlKh't, John; it you are younger than I nm suppose you open tho cate." Without n word Mr. Miller climbed from the buggy, (ipened tho gate nnd Mr. Caldwell drove through. And then he did not, stip, but went on to tlu house, leaving Mr. Miller to follow through tho dark and mud ns best ho could. When tho house was reached the soil was scraped off Mr. Miller and nothing moro was sr.ld. He had prov ed that he was tho younger man of the two. Chicago Tribune. WAIT. Until Thursday.

Some points on the brewery combine nre rontnlncd In nn Interview with a Wllkes-Unrro member of tho trust, who says: "You newspaper men have a wrong idea of tho brewers' comblno.,1 think I am posted on the denl nnd I know that the brewers havo not Bold their plants. The combine wns formed by the brewers simply for mutual pro tection, nnd In tho future tho manage ment will be In tho hands of ono or two men. The combine will protect tho saloon man nnd the brewer nllke. "It will not sell a drop of beer to any speak-easy, picnic, ball or public party. It will In time attempt to dr.lvo out all tho spenk-easles now existing In spite of the law. It will fight them In tho courts and before grand Juries. Tho combine will come into court nnd with a representation of millions of cnpltnl. "Then again the man who has been in the habit of buying beer and run ning an account and then going to an other brewer will find that he cannot buy until he has settled all his ac counts. "This brewery combine," said a rail road man, "is going to hurt our busi ness. There will be very little shipping of beer from ono town to another. Wllkes-Barro will drink Its own pro duct and the Scranton brewers will confine themselves to this city. It will bo the same In Plttston nnd Carbon dale nnd Honesdale. Tho result will be the loss of several thousand dollars n year In freight to railroads. Tho railroads now net twenty-four cents for every barrel sent to WUkes-Ilarre or Carbondale and nine cents on the return of tho empty. There will bo a big falling off In freights and the rail roads will feel it." NEW GAME LAW. It Oilers Plenty of Opportunity for. Prosecution. Sportsmen, especially gunners, who wIfIi to uphold and enforce tho new game law of Pennsylvania will have plenty of opportunity If they wish to exert their privileges. The stringency of the new act is revealed In the fol lowing extract: "It shall he unlawful for tho propri etor, manager, clerk or agent of any market, or any otlisr pet son, firm or corporation, to purchase for the pur pose of again selling the same, any elk, deeer, fawn, wild turkey, pheasant, grouse, quail, partridge or woodcock killed or entrapped within this com monwealth. Whoever shall offend against any of the provisions of this section shall be liable to a penally of tino for every elk, deer or fawn so taken, purchased or sold, und $25 for every wild turkey, pheasant, quail, grouse, partridge or woodcock so taken, purchased or sold, or by Imprisonment In the county Jail for a period of a day for each dollar of penalty Imposed." It is true that outside of this state game may be purchased and brought here and sold, and In this way Penn sylvania game may be mixed up with It, and It may be hard to detect the fraud, but If a careful watch is kept on any offender prosecution will be easy. Merchants are selling game but they claim it is purchased from New York and the West. TEN TALES OF THE TIME. Prom tho Argonaut. That was an excellent nnswer (Admir al Jouett once remarked) nn able seaman gavo to a landlubber visitor on a man. of-war, who asked: "What do you sail ors do?" "Well," responded tho Jolly tar, "wo docs about what wo please until we aro told to do something else, and then we does that putty d quick." Dr. Coke, nt ono tlmo chaplain ol Greenwich hospital, wns (according to James Payn) "a churchman of the tawny-port-wlno school." When called in to minister to ono of the patients on his deathbed, and finding him perturbed as to his ghostly welfare, he comforted him by saying: "Don't concern yourself about that, my dear fellow, that's my affair." Walter Savago Landor, though he often handled his fellow men somewhat rough, ly, hated to see an old tree felled, and even shrank from plucking a rose. Ono morning ho collared his man cook and Hung him out of tho window. Then, suddenly remembering on what "bed" in the garden tho man would fall, the flow er.lovlng Landor exclaimed: "Good heavens! I forgot the poor violets." Lord Ligonler's death was onco er. roneously announced In tho newspapers, und ho was eager to prosecute them. His lawyers, however, ussurcd him that he had no case, having suffered no damage. "There," ho said, "you aro very much mistaken, for I was going to marry a great fortune, who thought I was but Vt. Tho papers said I was 80, and now sho will not havo xne." Frederick Locker-Lampson, In his re cent autobiography, tells of a patient In an English hopltal who ono morning told his servant that ho was sure his last Ill ness was beginning: "I'm very III. Go for tho doctor; I have lost my appetite; 1 'can't get through my penny roll." "Well," said John, much relieved, "when the baker came this morning, all the penny rolls was gone, sir. so I gavo you a two penny roll." Tho Duehesso de Moilly, who was one of tho ornaments of the court of Louis XV., came late Ino church one day. and had to dcrnngo several persons before gaining her seat. "What a fuss, and all nbout a eatln!" (cocottes were so called In thoso days) exclaimed n querulous old gentleman. Tho duchess turned toward the censor, and gently said to him: "Mon sieur, since you know mo so well, do me tho favor to pray for mo." Ono day Thomas Carlyle went Into a tobacconist's shop In London and asked for a certain brand of tobacco. Tho shop, man, not having tho kind asked for, and not knowing who he was dealing with, produced another sort, which he thought might pass for that desired. Carlyle took tho tobacco In his hand and examined It: then, looking ni tho shopman, he said: "Deal In the veracities, sir deal In the voracities," and stalked out of the shop. At assizes held In a small English coun ty town, whero tho courts wero Incon veniently near eaeh other, tho door be tween them being left open, the loud tones of Sergeant A.

To tho Editor of Tho Scranton Tribune, Dear Sir: I was quite surprised to read this morning In your report of yester day's meeting of tho Presbyterian cleric that "the recent attack mado on Prince ton university by tho Voice was consid ered." It wns not referred to until the cleric had ndjourncd. Although nil tho meetings of tho cleric aro delightfully Informal, this question could not have been said to bo "considered by tho cleric." 1 wbb still moro surprised to seo the statement that It wns tho "gcncrnl opin ion 'that tho criticism of the Voice was not warranted." Although I do not wish to bo understood ns approving of or en dorslng tho position of "Tho Voice" In general, yet as my nnmo appears In tho list of thoso who nro supposed to hold tho opinion above stated, I desire to ex press my belief that If tho statement In tho Voice Is true, that thero is an open bar nt tho Princeton Inn where the editor found ono evening, "week berorc Inst, forty-ono students drinking nt mid night, nnd that two or threo professors of Prlnceiton university signed a petition asking for a llcenso to thnt bar to sell liquors, it is an outrage upon the trust reposed In Princeton university by the parents who send their children there to bo educnted, Yours very truly, Charles K.
