1t Was Recorded.

During certain sea voyage the mate OF
the brig Y, who usually Kept the log"
was found one day to be unable to attend
to the duty, because Of inebriation, and the
work was done by the Captain, whose last
entry was, ''The mate was drunk all day"
On the following day, the mate having re-
covered from the effects of his indulgence,
resumed his former attention to the '1og"
entries, when he discovered his superior's
record, and Immediately demonstrated
with that officer, asking
"what was the need, sir, Of making that
entryf"
Wasn't it truer demanded the com.
mander, in stern voice.
"Yes," replied the delinquent, "but I
don't see any necessity for making record
Of it there"
"well," rejoined the Captain, rs 1t is
true, it had better stand; It had better
stand.D
At the close of the following day, whom
the Captain examined the log-book, he was
astonished and provoked, finding entered
thereon, ''The Captain was sober all day."
Summoning his subordinate officer, he
fiercely demanded
"Why did you make this entryf"
''why, sir, said the mate, 'ft was true,
was it mott"
"Of course it was true, but am I not
sober every dayf" asked the now enraged
Captain.
"well," replied the mate, ''but as 1t Ia
true, it had better stand; it had better
stand;" whereupon he turned on his heel
and left the Captains presence, but had
not taken many steps when he felt q cur
rent of air caused by rapidly moving
marline-spike passing in dangerous prox-
unity to one of his acoustic organs, having
been hurled by the angry Captain.

We were sitting on the yeranda of a

one on my left, and presently he got up
in an excited way and walked about. After

asked:

didn't take him over three minutes to do

helped Godkin up and observed:
"You didn't wait long enough, guess
''Say! That's where made miscuep
he replied. "I see now that ought to

$50 years old. The old devil is all of 20

My method is to draw the animals head

and fasten to the top; then, having
previously melted onehalf pint of lard
placed in bottle while warm, / pour ii

and all the more violent the better, as the

The East End Association Team Wins
Good Contest at Superior.
The football match, under Association rules,
between the Eureka Football Club, of ALE
gheny, and the East End Recreation Club
Football Team, came off yesterday afternoon
on the ground OF the Superior Athletic Club,
Pleasant Valley. The weather was most favor
able, and there were about 800 spectators pres
ent. including several ladies, who enjoyed the
game immensely.
The first half Of the game was very interest
ing. and good play was exhibited on both sides.
The East End boys secured two goals III the
first half, and the Eureka one. In the second
portion of the game the Eurekas tried hard to
e0ualize matters, but their over-anXiety ex-
cited them, and was the means of allowing the
downfall OF their citadel for the third time.
This reused the Ire of the home team. ami bv
sheer pluck they managed 10 gain point, which
evidently put them in better humor.
But the East Enders were not 10 be denied
and after a magnificent run by Dunn r. Lid
dell and J. Llddell a fourth point was scored.
Time was now nearly up and the Eureka put
on mighty squirt to retrieve their fallen fort
uneS and Just A. time called they managed
to notch third goal. The game thus ended in
favor Of the East Eud FOoJball team bv to g.
The Eureka Club. composed mostly of English
men. possesses several brilliant players
notably Goldley and Baldin. but they lack com
bmatIon. and This Is partly the cause of their
defeat However, they Will soon remedy this
by practice. The East End club is a repre-
sentative American-Scotch one They
have fine combination and are deadly at goal
After the game the Eureka boys quite eXcelled
themselves in their generous and hospitable
treatment of the strangers.

News of the Day.

A large Thanksgiving crowd attended the
Association football game between the teams
OF the Eighteenth ward and the Allegheny
Athletics at Exposition Park yesterday af-
ternoon, and judging from the enthusiasm
displayed the game was greatly appreciated.
The contest was one of the best ever seen
here. The first half of the game was un-
productive OF goals for either side, the ball
being sent from goal TO goal with great
rapidity, and it was only through the fine
back play of Horn and the goal keeping of
Nourse that the Three AS goal was kept in
tact. On changing ends the Lawrenceville
team Immediately assumed supremacy and
almost in as little time as 1t takes to write
it they had put on two goals by the good
passing of the forwards.
1t was now the Three AS turn to have a
look In and Moore gave the finishing kick
10 what proved their first and ouly goal. A
rally was made by the Eighteenth ward,
but really grand goal keeping on the part
OF Nourse was their only obstacle and
eventually he was beaten again. Just on
the call of time Llwrenceville was success
ful in scoring another goal through Horn
missing his kick Too much praise cannot
be bestowed on Nourse, the Allegheny goal
keeper, for his admirable defense. Horn
played even better than he did last Satur-
day, but sadly missed his partner, Hendy,
who was unable to play. A great deal was
expected from the new half back, Smith,
but either through lack of practice or lack
OF knowledge OF the game he was not equal
to his position. Dawson played well in the
first halt, but weakened toward the close,
and Childs and McEwan were the pick of
the forward line. Ga the other side Brown
hill and Hudson at full back were always
prominent as were alse Wardle and Hall
in the front rank, the last mentioned pair
being responsible ior most of the goals.
Following were the teams:

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.

A Young Englishman Dies at the West Penn
Hospital From Injuries Received Under
Suspicious Circumstances-Locked Up
Twenty-Four Hours Without Medical
Attention.
William Coltman, young Englishman,
died at the West Penn Hospital at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, under circumstances
that lead to strong suspicion of foul play.
He was coal miner byoccupation, % years
of age and was employed at Wilson Grove
station on the Panhandle Railroad. Last
Monday evening he was found unconscious
in a box car, near Willow Grove. His
right eve was blackened, his left shoulder
dislocated and there was an ugly wound in
the back OF his head. He was taken to
Mcdonald station where he was placed in
the lookup.
There he remained until Tuesday night,
when, not having returned to sensibility, he
was sent to the West Penn Hospital. He
never regained consciousness from the time
he was found.
Coroner Mcdowell was Immediately noti-
fed of the case aud he ordered a
post-mortem examination held, which
resulted in the finding of fracture
at the base of the brain, the injury
having evidently been inflicted by blow
with blum: instrument, although it would
have been possible for such an injury to re-
suit from fall. The bruise over the eye,
however, had evidently been caused by
blow, and looked as ii had been very
heavy blow from a fist.
Alter the post-mortem examination had
been held the body was removed to the
morgue. Shortly afteIward an old gentle
man called who gave his name as William
Coltman, and said the deceased was
nephew of his. According TO Mr.. Coltman's
statement. his nephew was seen in company
with two men from Mcdonald station early
Monday evening. Mr.. Coltman could not re-
member their names, but said he would
hunt them up at once. He said the young
man was very steady, temperate and had no
bad habits. He worked every day and sent
his money to his parents in England. Mr..
Coltman and the deceased were the only
members of the family in this country.

BISMARCK, n. D., November 27.-
Buffalo Bill arrived this afternoon, accom-
panied by his old pard, Frank Powell,
known as "White Beaver" and r. H.
Haslan. known as "Pony Bob," who once
rode 1OS miles ir hours and 10 minutes.
Special conveyances with relays were en-
gagged to take the trio to Standing Rock
Agency.
Buffalo Bill has commission from Gen.
eral Miles, which is believed to be the most
i'm portant Of any issued since Sitting Bulls
surrender. The party will go direct to Sit
ting Bulls camp on Grand river. 1t will
be remembered that Sitting Bull did not
come in on Saturday, the regular ration
day, but sent word to Agent Mclaughlin
that his child was sick. 1t is believed that
Buffalo Bill is sent out to get at the bottom
of the Messiah craze, with almost unlimited
authority to act. This is Buffalo Bill's first
visit to this section since the Custer mas
Sacre.
