CRANKY COLLEGE COMBAT.


Cane Rush Between Columbia Freshmen
and SOphOmOres.
The students of Columbia College in New
York, turned out recently to witness the cane
rush between the freshmen and sophomores At
the Manhattan Athletic grounds Twelve
freshmen took hold of stout hickory nickel
headed cane, and about 60 of their classmates
formed III dense mass around thom. One
hundred feet away stood So yelling sophs.
r fierce W. Moore warned the belligerents that
Is minutes would be allowed for time, and if
the cane broke the rush would be called Il
draw. When he called out "Ready" the
S phomores bounded out like savages, and pre-
cipitated themselves upon the heads OF the
freshmen. Crawling over the mass Of heads,
they seized the cane, and the stampede began.
The terrific yels brought in some policemen,
who were promptly mobbed, and neither
permitted to blow their whistles, or
leave for help. The struggle that ensucd
WAS a savage affair, and di graceful spectacle.
Clothing was torn off, he ds battered, pins
stuck in each others backs, fallen men stamped
on and some Pretty painful injuries given. One
student, who courageously held on to the cane
from first to last, was pounded to a jelly, and
was carried away very much used up. Many
of the stu 'ents emerged with their clothes in
rags, and scarcely shirt remained whole.
When time was called eleven men had hold
of The cane. 1t was signal victory for the
sophs, but they had organization, trickery and
experience. The grounds were str,wn with
clothing, and other classmen divided their gar
ments with the participants.

VERY NICE GIRLS.
The Misses Larson, of Wisconsin, Cross
the Continent on Horseback.

The Misses Larson, of Wisconsin, Cross
the Continent on Horseback.
Miss Emma Larson and her younger sister
of Wisconsin, arrived in Cheyenne recently,
after having crossed and recrossed the western
poltion of the continent on horseback. These
two adventuresome young ladies left their
home in Wisconsin early in the spring of 1888
to ride to SIN Francisco and back They
passed through Cheyenne in July Of last year
on their journey West.
The peculiarly interesting feature Of this
cross-!he-continent trip by Miss Larson and
her sister is the fect that neither of the young
ladies has been su spected of desire to attract
notoricty. Miss Emma Larson is plain spoken,
and, while educated and refined, has all of the
peculiar freedom of expression that her trip
through the Western wilds would have given
her language. She is perfectly at home with
the horse and revolver, and yet she has all Of
the reserve that could be asked OF any young
woman. Her sister is few years her junior
and very independent young lady.
Miss Emma Larson will have ridden about
5000 miles in all her trip when she arrives
at her home agaa. She has been gone nearly
eighteen months. She rode a faithful horse
westward, and still rid her. The colt that
ran by its mothers side when it was in Chey-
enne last has grown to be a pretty big animal,
and makes a comfortable ch,nge from the two
horses the Indies generally mount.

BOSTON IN 1862,
How Judge Russell stole tho Emanot-
patton PI oolamatiOn,

There are some very triiing events in the
makeup OF local history, but which are yet
not without certain degree oil importance, 1t
is possible that the first public read ng OF
President Abraham Lincolns emancipation
in Boston may rank itself in this category, and
the following is the history ei the TACT; On the
evening OF the day in which the proclamation
was issued ut Washington a copy thereof came
by telegraph to tho Boston Josraai office, and
on the same evening meeting OF Free Sellers
had assembled in fremont Temple. While
the night editor Of the Journal was engaged
in preparing the dispatch for transmission to
the composition room, Judge Thomas Russell
entered the editorial sanotum, all out of
BREATH and inquired as to the truth of such a
proclamation having been promulgated by the
president, and was shown the dispatch sheets
on which it was written. He begged the loan
OF them for n quarter of an hour, but
this was refused as being against all rule,
The judge then seized them and ran
with all speed from the editorial room, followed
by the night editor in pursuit, but was not
caught, lie reached the platform of the Ire
mont Temple, interrupted the speaking, and
read the proclamation, when scene of excite
ment followed which battied description. Some
talk was had about the proprietor of the Jour
nal (Col. Charles o, Rogers) having Judge
Russell arrested for the theft, but this did not
take place, This was the first time the procla-
nation was publicly read in Boston.

Since the Washington Navy Yard was trans
formed into naval arsenal the employees in
the foundries and shops have been engaged IN
the const, uction Of guns for the armament o
the new cruisers For nearly two years work
has been progressing steadily, and fourteen
guns are in various stages OF completion. These
weapons are Of the most approved designs in
steel rlle-boro and wire-wound cannon. Of
the fourteen guns in course of construction two
are ten-inch, four are eight-inch, six are six
inch and two are iive-inch. The two L. nch
guns are part of the Miantonomoh battery and
are to be followed by the other pair as soon as
the steel for the tubes, jackets and hoops can
be prepared. The four eight-inch, the six six
inch and the two five-nch guns are nominally
for the Chicago's lattery, though they may be
mounted on the Boston or Atlanta and others
made for the Chicago. 1t should be added tina,
the six-mch gun and carriages designed for the
Dolphin havo been finished and forwarded to
New York to be placed on her deck
