Wpsn the New Ravens appeared upon the

the balls with ease and several times when
he was left alone unprotected he rushed out
and blocked the opposing rushers. For the
visitors the best work was done by Roberts

his knee in the fore part of the game the
SCORE might have been closer.
The feature of the game was the making of
the fourteenth goal. The two Springfield
rushers had Reed all alone, but "Stub" was
equal to the emergency and kicked the ball
out to Phelan, who passed to Newcombe.

THE ANDOvER CONTROvERsY.
Findings of Ex-Governor Robinson
Favorable 60 Professor Smyshe.
SALEM, Mass. Jan. 20.-The findings of
Ex-G Governor Robinson, special commissioner,
in the Andover case was made known this
morning. It is not, in terms for or against
either side but merely reports what the COM
missioner considers the facts as proved.
These are chiefly that Rev. Eustis was not
personally hostile to Professor Smythe, that
he was not subject to undue influence from
outside, that he was intelligent and conscien-
tious and gave heed to all the evidence to
the end that he might render just decision,
but on the other hand he expressed his opin-
ion on the merits of the case before hearing
the evidence. OF this point the finding il
that after the charges against Professor
Smythe were filed and before the final hear
ing Dr.. Tustis discussed the subject with
several different persons sometimes at great
length, expressing the opinion that the An.
dover professors were fundamentally hereti-
cal and their views could not, by any fair
construction, be reconciled with any avowed
belisf In the Andover creed; that he opened
conversation on this subject with promin-
were pending, speaking in an exciting tone
professor could not conscientiously sign the
creed, denouncing their conduct as insincere
and unscrupulous; that during the same
period he showed a printed brief in the case
to lawyer and told him that the Andover
professors were teaching contrary to the
creed and were being prosecuted for 1t; and
that, while the Case was pending, he told q
bookseller in New Haven that, in his CDR.
EustisD opinion, the Andover professors
were unfit to hold their positions.
AS to whether the facts, as found, were
such as to disqualify DR.. Eustis for acting as
Judge at the trial, the report does not ex-
press an opinion, but it is considered by
Professor Smythe's friends to be favorable to
him, inasmuch as 1t sustains the points on
which he most relies.

The Purchase OF -Four Per Gents. to be
suspended-The Bank OF Es gland.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2O.-The heavy
purchase of bonds during the past week,
amounting to nearly nine millions, has re-
suited in a reduction of the available treasury
surplus to about twenty millions. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury has, therefore, decided
to suspend the purchase of four per cent.
bonds until further notice. The purchase of
four per cents. will be resumed shortly, as 1t
is estimated that the surplus will he increased
to forty millions by the first of April. The
Secretary of the Treasury has under consid~
GRAFTON the question of the further purchase
of this class of bonds in the reduction of the
amount Of public funds held by national
banks, and the issuance of another call on
the banks for an additional surrender is
delayed accordingly. The matter will be
settled, however, in few days, probably
this week.
A private telegram received in this city
this afternoon from New York says that adj
vices have been received there from London
that the Bank of England is about to exercise
it's right, never hitherto exercised, to use sill
yer to the extent of one-third of its reserve
and to issue one pound notes in silver against
it. The bank is said to have purchased e3,-

this action. No credence is given the report
at the Treasury department..

UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.

A Trial ON the Issue OF Facts In New
York City.
New YORK, Jan. 20.-The mandamus pro.
ceedings to compel the commissioners OF
public works to issue permit to the New
York Underground Railway company,
allowing them to prosecute the work of
excavating the roadway, came on for trial
on the issues of facts, before Judge Truax
and jury this morning in the Superior
court, Part I. The city authorities oppose
the suit, alleging that the charter rights of
the company have lapsed by non user. This
claim also forms the basis of a quo-warranto
proceeding now pending in the Supreme
court, whereby the encouragement seeks
to have the company's charter revoked.
On the other hand, the company claims
to have made beginning upon the work
within the period required by law, and
to be entitled, therefore, to the full en-
joyment of its rights under the charter.
This isans, however, was not reached today
till after the recess, tho attention of the court
during the morning having been devoted to
an extended argument on the motion of coun-
sci for the commissioner to dismiss the pro-
ceeding on the ground Of variance between
the company's charter and the alternative
writ under which ii now seeks the use of a
part of Broadway for its roadway. This
motion, however, was denied by the court.
The trial will occupy several days.

A SNOW BLOCKADE.

Fifteen to Thirty Feet Deep - snow
Plows Stalled - The Worst In Ten
Years.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-The snow block
ade on the Central Pacific railroad in the
vicinity of Truckee and Emigrant Gap has
become very serious. Since Tuesday last no
eastern mails have reached here as no east
ern overland trains nave been able to reach
a point further West than Colfax. The east
bound trains are at Sacramento, Colfax and
Shady Run, while those coming West are at
Emigrant Gap, Truckee and Reno. At
Truckee the depth of snow ranges from three
feet to drifts of twenty feet. The railroad
company has several hundred men at work
shovelling East On the West the road is
blocked with drifts from fifteen to thirty
feet deep.
About thirty engines and snow plows are
stalled at different points. The snowbound
passengers are quurtered at the hotels by the
railroad company. Yesterday afternoon it
began showing again heavily, and reports
from the blockade trains at Emigrant Gap
showed that the cleared portions Of the track
were again filing fast. The officials declare
that the present blockade is the heaviest and
years.
Tho Western Union company has large
force of men in the mountains clearing the
wires of snow. Telegraph lines in some
places are entirely buried under the
drifts, Notwithstanding that the wires
are strung on poles thirty-6ve feet
high. The report that the snow-bound
passengers are suffering for want of food is
denied by the railroad officials. Abundance
of food is supplied them, and the trains are
at no point where It would be impossible to
reach them. The situation is equally as
the northern part of the State.
PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 20.-For some
days past there has been heavy snow block
lines between Huntingdon and Portland.
There have been no through trains for nearly
a week past and consequently no eastern
mails. Bitter cold weather has prevailed
most of the time, accompanied by heavy
winds and binding snow storms. Five or
ak trains, both east and west bound, are
blookaded somewhere between the Dalles and
Baker City.
The same condition of affairs have prevail
ed over the Southern Pacific, and in the north
srn part of California, trains are blockaded
in the Suskyou mountains 30 that communi-
cation has been entirely cut off. No trains
have arrived at Portland from San Francisco
or left here for that point in nearly
week. No trains are expected to
reach here before the middle of this
week. Heavy storms both east and south
have Frustrated the wires, and telegraphic
communication has been interrupted most of
the time On the Northern Pacific, how
ever, there has been very littls interruption.

DANBURY, Conn, January 20-All the
hat fnishers in fourteen out of sixteen shops
here numbering twelve hundred men, will
be locked out tomorrow by order OF the
Hat Manufacturer Association. The dia-
Guilty Is Of nine months standing. In O. 81.
Merritt's shop three boys are employed in
helping in the finishing department. This,
tho Journeymen's Association, claims Is
violation of rule as the boys are neither
registered nor apprentices. Mr.. Merritt
claims that there IL no violation a. what
the boys do is not part of finishing.
According to an old agreement between the
two associations, the matter must be decided
by . committee. On the contrary the men
at Merritt's shop were summsrily called out
Saturday night. Mr.. Merritt proposed that
the three boys in question be suspended
pending the Investigation of the committee
on arbitration. This proposition the finish
CTS combination rejected by vote Of 81 TO
81. On account of the violation of the old
agreement by the fnishers association the
manufacturers agreed to suspend all work in
the finishing department of their respective
factories till the fnishers of Merritt's shop
are permitted to return to work without con-
dition. Several shops TO- morrow will close
down entirely.

REDUCTION In WAGES.
Engineers and Firemen ON the Central

HARTFORD, Jan. 20.-Eight of the ''long
run" engineers and as many fremen on the
Central New England and Western railroad
have grievance which, unless the officials of
the road settle amicably, may terminate in q
matter of more or less seriousness. The
grievance grows out of reduction in the pay
of the eight engineers and the eight fremen
who run through from this city to Peugh-
keepsie and Campbell Hall. For this run the
engineers have previous to Saturday, January
4, received 50 and the fremen 81. There are
two through trains daily, one leaving this
city at $3.50 in tho morning and arriving at
Campbell Hall at 2 O'Clock In the afternoon.
The engineer and fireman leave Campbell
Hall the next day at 1880 in the afternoon,
and arrive in Hartford at $3.50 in the evening.
For this run. which takes two days time, 1.-The
engineer and fireman have had their pay cut
down in the one place from So to 81, and in
the other case from 81 to S. so. The authori-
ties of the road have been appealed to with
the prospect of q satisfactory settlement.
