Hing to the Position.
PRINCETON, Dec. 8.-[Spscial 1-At
meeting of the University football team,
held in Witherspoon Hall tonight, Philip
King, '93. was elected Captain Of next years
eleven. The result of the election is re-
ceived with great satisfaction. King is one
of the best players that Princeton has had
in many years.
Last season he played half back, and had
the reputation of being the star of the team:
During the season that has closed he filled
the position Of quarter back and acted as
field Captain. Kings ability to fill salts
factorily the responsible position to which
he has been elected is doubted by none.
There will be no change in the personnel of
next years team unless some better players
enter the class of '96

ALLIANCE, Dec. S.-Last night the store
Of p L. Vollnogle at New Waterford, was
entered about $50 o'clock, and watches and
money amounting to $500 were stolen. A
portion of the money belonged to the
Adams Express Company. This morning
an Alliance officer, while inspecting several
cars, spied a bareheaded man. He was i'm
mediately arrested and searched. On his
person were found IA gold watches. SIS in
money, revolver and razor. This after
noon he was taken to New Waterford.
Considerable excitement was created when
he gave the name of Fitzsimmons and his
home as Pittsburg but it is not thought that
it is the original Fitz He is young man
and very short. In the place of the lost hat
he wore a red bandanna handkerchief on his
head, which gave him very desperate ap-
pearance. He refuses to give anv explana-
tion. except that another man had raised the
window while he got in. The booty was
probably divided, which accounts for other
watches being missing.

There was recently taken from small
creek near Springtown, |. t., a genuine
curiosity in the shape of petrified horse.
which had beyond doubt been lying in
the bed of the stream for many years.
The creek, which Is known as Mason's
Ford, has been dwindhng away for sono
time, owing to the failure of the springs
by which 1t is fed, and it is now but a
shallow rivulet. and number of Indian
relics, human bones, ETC.. have been
taken from its bed.
The horse was nearly covered by de-
posit of sand and loose limestone. and
was discovered only by chance, some
boys wading in the creek catching sight
of portion of one leg. Examining this,
it was found to have turned entirely to
stone, which led to the whole being dug
out and carried to shore. The horse, a
large. white one, seems to be the work
OF cunning sculptor. so completely has
the petrifaction been, even the hairs of
the name and tail being converted into
stone.
In the neck and piercing one Of the
largest veins is an arrow, in all probabil-
ity the cause of its death, and which
probably struck it as it stood on the
banks of the creek. into which it rolled
in its death agony Its sides still show
the marks of saddle and its hanks are
cut as by spurs used with desperation
but no brand or other mark gives a clew
to its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken off, but
with this exception it is perfect. 1t is
now on exhibition in Stringtown, but is
shortly to be presented to the Smithso-
nian institution, though several agents
for dime museums have endeavored to
secure it for their enterprses.-Cincin-
