''The one side was freedom and the cause of human liberty; on the other, slavery and oppres- sion. On the side was the enjoyment of equal opportunities by all; on the other, the hopelessness of human bondage and degradation. On one side education con- tended; on the other, ignorance. Noble sacrifice and spirit of absolute devotion of the north, while black selfshness and desire for aggrandizement at others cost egged on the people of the south. It was above all things, war of principle, and it is matter of devout thankfulness to the divine providence that justice and right eousness triumphed." MT.

Forth came the volunteers from the sacred desk, the halls of justice, the beds of the sick and dying, the counter, the counting room, the bank and all the thousand walks of human industry. With rare spirit of devotion they went to the front, glad to lay all on the altar of their coun- try, and singing as they went those hear stirring words:

 It is becoming in the people of Orange to appreciate the acts of those who died and bled for them.

PRINCETON AND COLUMBIA.

The Local Team Makes Good Stand
Against ''the Tigers
The Princeton team, with few exceptions
the same that lined up against Yale on Thank
giving Day, on Tuesday played the champion
Colu mbia Athletics Fully 1900 people as
sembled at Capitol Park to see the "Tigers''
at play. The crowd resembled that of Thanks
giving Day, for behind the lines were large
turnout of the coaching parties, several tally
hos, and buses. Washington is haven of
Princetonians, and on this occasion the black
and orange of that college were as conspicu-
GUS as the red and blue of the local team.
Though the Princetons did not have all of
their regular rush line, they had IN their
places men who are almost as good and who
next season will occupy the positions. The
spectators saw football that was football
when team work combined with strategtic
moves accomplishes more than the brute
force or rough play. The Princetons
lined up strongly, while behind the
line they were the same as they have been
the whole season. They were under the cap
taincy of Phil King, of this city, whom the
best football writers of this country have pro-
nounced one Of the best quarter-backs IN
America. He fully maintained the record
made on other fields. He is the true embodi-
ment of football player, being sprinter of
no mean ability, agile, and able to dodge
right through the big fellows, while his guard
lnS anu luterleIlnS is aS perfect as Lney can
be. He is great player, and that the people
were proud of him was evinced by the applause
that greeted his movements. Behind the line
Flint and Bergen gave an excellent exhibition
of buczing and running, the formers race
with and downing of Townsend being one of
the treats of the game. Bergen also sprinted
In great shape, while Roman's kicking and
punting was the finest ever seen here. Vre-
denburg, the great sprinter of the New York
Athletic Club, alright end, played good ball,
and once grabbing the spheroid in the centre
of the field gave an exhibition of his fleetness,
as he distanced the whole team, though Town
send tried vainly to overhaul him. The score
was % to 0, which, everything considered,
was very good showing. Yeasey, though
somewhat disabled played fine game, his
punts especially being good, while Burroughs
got in some very good runs that made the
little half-back many strong friends. Bob
Church's tackling was about the best feature
altogether on the part of the G. A. G. Charley
Boynton officiated as referee, a position he
filled so admirably last year. The Princetons
were here under the management of Mr.. Nc
Kenny, son of the clerk of the Supreme
Court, and one of the jolliest liveliest, and
best "Tigers" in the college.

Beat His Wife and Children.

John Scanlan last night went to his home,
2429 1 street northwest, in a state of intoxica-
tion. He began to abuse his children, and
after driving them from home turned his at.
tentlon to his wife and started in to give her
thrashing. While this was going on his son
Dennis entered the house and seeing the
danger his mother was in, rushed to her de-
fense, grabbing hold of his father to prevent
him from striking her. His mother ran out of
the house and then the father started 10 to do
up his boy. He grabbed foot-stool and
using 1T rather freely soon had the young man
beaten up in bade shape and would had
murdered him If the police had not arrived.
The boy was carried to the Emergency Hos
pital where his wounds were dressed, two of
which were deep abrasions of the scalp, one
on the arm and two on his ribs. The father
was locked up.

of the District are dwelling together, and this

1t will be remembered the Amateur Ath-
etic Union championship at baseball ended
in q dispute last season between the New
Jersey and Detroit Athletic Clubs, and in
order to right the trouble the A. A. U. now
propose a series of games in the spring to
settle the affair.
Willie Day, the greatest cross-country
sprinter that ever ran in America, has an
nounced that he will again compete and will
run under the New Jersey Athletic colors.
The Columbia Athletic Club will inaugurate
its ladies' days on Tuesday afternoon next
from . to O'Clock. These reunions last
season became social events, and the thou
sands OF young ladies who attended remember
them with a good deal of pleasure There
will be the usual exhibitions of high-junp
ing, vaulting, trapeze, sparriug, fencing, ETC.,
in which all the prominent athletes will CON-
pete. Admission will be by card only.
Hereafter there will be no individual tug
of-war contests at the A A. U. meetings.
This is the right thing.
Gregg, the clever vaulter OF the c. A. c., is
nursing very sore leg, having injured it
while playing half-back on the football team
of the High School.
The Y. NJ. C. A. boys will give series OF
entertainments at their house this winter. They
have fine set of athletes, and ought to give
first-rate exhibitions.
President Howard Perry, of the A. A. u, is
now achieving glory, as the papers are dub
bing him Perry Howard, Howard Porter,
Howard Potter, and everything else but plain,
everyday Howard Perry.

THE CONVICTION OF LIE Co1NTE.
Not Much Chance That a New Trial Will
be Granted the Prisoner.

Not Much Chance That a New Trial Will
be Granted the Prisoner.
The jury in the case of George LIE Cointe,
indicted for shooting his wife, Edith LIE
Cointe, after being out all Friday night, came
into court yesterday morning with q verdict
of "Guilty as indicted" A motion was i'm
mediately made for new trial by his attor-
neys. The case has attracted much attention.
Those who expected to hear or read racy tes-
timony or the exposing of family skeletons"
were sadly disappointed, as Judge Bradley re-
fused to allow the defense to go into any de-
tails. The motion for new trial will hardly
prevail, as it is all based on exceptions to the
judges rulings and charge to the jury, and it
is expected that La Cointe will get the full
extent of the law when Judge Bradley comes
to sentence him, as he. is very hard on all
parties who handle firearms in a reck-
less manner. There is another charge yet
pending against LIE Cointe, that of assaulting
Charles Frost with intent to kill. AS the sec
ond case is decidedly more direct than the one
just finished, it is likely to go hard with the
prisoner. Miss Grace Eaton will come to the
front more strongly, and the proof of direct
conspiracy to ruin Mrs. La Ceinte will be of
fered. There will be new and important wit
nesses in this trial, and it will be more inter-
esting and racy than the first case, as Mr..
Frost desires a vndication.

ATHLETICS.

The Potomac Athletics will hold their regu-
lar fornightly entertainment on Tuesday
evening, Dec. IS, at their clubhouse. Besides
the usual musical features, there will be sew
eral sparring encounters between promising
amateurs and another one between those two
champions, Moore and Jones. Admission is
by card only.
The three clubs of this city, Analostan
Boat Club and the Columbia and Potomac
Athletics, at meetings held last week unani-
mously passed resolutions indorsing Mr..
Oscar p. Schmidt of the Potomac Athletic
Club, for the position of secretary of the
National Association Of Amateur Oarsmen,
made vacant by the resignation of Capt W
H. Gibson, Of the Columbia Athletics. Cap
tain Gibson has been a valuable officer and
has reflected credit on this city by his admin
istration, and if the association calls Mr..
Schmidt his friends predict he will make just
as successful an officer. The unanimous
choice Of Mr.. Schmidt by the clubs of this

A Young Man who Interfeared Between

crowd soon hurried to the spot man and
woman were seen running off toward Rock
Creek, but no one thought It necessary to stop
them. A young man was found lying on the
pavement, and officer Passeno, who was at
trscted by the firing, summoned the
patrol wagon and had the wounded
man carried to the station. DR.. Kleinschmidt,
after an examination, found the youth had re-
ceived three shots, one in the mouth, one in
the left arm, and another in the right hip. He
extracted the balls from the mouth and arm,
but the one in the hip could not be taken out.
The man was carried to the Freedman's Hos
pital. Before his departure he gave this state

THE EXCISE BOARD.
Still wrnngling With the Applications
for Liquor Licensc.1


Still wrangling With the Applications
for Liquor License.1
The excise board met yesterday morn.
ing at IL o'clock.
The first application taken up was
that of N. Corrigan for q saloon at the
corner Of Commonwealth and Seventh
avenues. Several witnesses appeared
against the application, and it was
turned down.
The board adjourned about 12 o'clock
and met again at 3.
j. Ill. Cameron, Is Norfolk avenue,
made application. He said he had once
been fined for selling liquor on Sunday,
but this was case in which there was
no evidence against him. Some one had
come in on Sunday and got bottle of
beer off the table. The police testified
that Cannon kept an orderly place, and
tho board granted his license.
Hariston 81 Chambers, colored. made
application for license in Charlie Mo-
tens old stand. They had several wit
nesses to prove the good order of the
place, but the board voted down the ap-
plication. Mr.. Buckner stated that he
would not vote for any application on
Railroad avenue between jefferson and
Henry streets. He was determined to
break those dens up.
h. t.. Huddleston made application
for a license at 139 Norfolk avenue, but
Was disapproved by the board. The
case will, however, be re-opened to-day.
N. Corrigan at last gets his license.
Being refused at two places in East
Roanoke, he found an opening at the
lower end of Railroad avenue at Ran
dolph street. The board voted unan-
imously for granting him license at this
point, as no one had raised objections.
e. Oppenhcim Il Co., gets license at
the Old Senate saloon, and A. l.. Moon,
at 101 Norfolk avenue.
Mrs. Mary Robinson mado application
for license to sell beer day or two
ago, but was laid over. The case was
taken up again yesterday, but laid over
for consultation. After the board ad-
journed Mrs. Robinson appeared in per-
son. She declared she would never sell
any more beer on Sunday, and ogled
the board in a cunning manner. Mr..
Buckner cxacued many promises from
the old lady. Mr. Miller finally de-
cided to vote for her, and Mr.. Eckloff
said woman was more to be considered
than a man.
E. w. Spangler was granted license
at II Nelson street, and w. Ii. Vain
wright's case was referred on motion of
his lawyers, Messrs. Hardoway and
1loge. After hearing evidence COM
mending the character Of Mr. Vain
wright the board granted his license.
