FOOrB BALL.
CaledOniaiis and Celts Played
YESTERDAY.

Yesterday.
The match between the above named
clubs took place at kcnilworth grounds
yesterday afternoon. The kick oil was
at 3 p. M, instead OF $50 as advertised.
In the first half nothing OF particular
brilliancy was done by either side, and
a see-saw game was all that interested
the spectators until half time was called
On the change of ends the Cets scored
their first goal, Clarke making splendid
angle shot.
The ball was scarcely started from
centre again until another goal was
added towards the Caledonian's defeat
which was kicked by Otter as straight
and sure as an arrow.
The Celts were the leaders throughout
the fight, being kept on the Caledoniar
end OF the goals nearly all the time
though Johnson and Simpson, of th'
Caledonians, did some good playing
and they at one time had the ball with
in hairs breadth of goal.
When time was called the most inter
esting portion OF the game was on, ant
the spectators were sorry for the game
to stop.
These teams expect to play anothe
game in the near future.

that on Christmas day as the train passed
his house some one on the train fired a

who fired it is unknown to him, as the

Made the United states some
Sort of "a Christmas Present That
Is Acceptable.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 26.-There can be
no doubt of the desire of officers OF the
state and navy departments to allay
any apprehensions of war between the
United States and Chill that may have
been caused by alarming newspaper pub
lications. Secretary Tracy this morning
said
"The talk of war is all in the news
papers"
The secretary further showed some i'm
patience at the reteration of the warlike
stories, and SAID emphatically that they
were without foundation, and that there
was nothing in the situation to warrant
their acceptance. He called attention to
the fact that the United States steam
ship Boston, which had just arrived at
Valparaiso, had sailed promptly for San
Francisco, and he repeated what Assist
ant Secretary Solcy had previously said
that mot a single vessel OF the navy is
now under orders to sail for Chill
Soley was subsequently asked to eX-
plain the departure Of the Charleston
from Honolulu for Valparaiso on the
18th as reported from Hawaiian islands.
In reply he said that he did not believe
that the Charleston had taken any such
course and that he was sure she was not
going to Chill.
Officials at the state department were
non-communicatiye, but took such an
optimistic view of the situation as to
warrant the belief strengthened by
the fact that Secretaries Blaine and
Tracy have been today in consultation
with the presidenD that some news
of most reassuring character has been
received from the American representa-
| five in Chill

SOhhCCtGus
In allowing fire works within the city
limits on Christmas, the permit was
given with the understanding that the
celebration Herewith was to be under
proper restrictions" No restrictions
seem to have been exercised, however. In
certain portions of the city on Christmas
night. and the night before, the reckless
use of fireworks endangered property in
its vicinity. Notably was this so on South
Main street, where a pitched battle took
place between people on each side of the
street, firing off Roman candles and
other explosives to the great danger oi
the buildings. An awning did take fire
and was destroyed. and a man had an
eve seriously injured.
But the worst feature was that some
excitable or malicious persons from the
upper stories of the buildings on the
east side of the street fred guns and pis'
tolls promiscuously. The noise was deaf
cning, besides the danger from the bull
let's, one of which entered and penetrated
the side Of Sorrel's bar, injuring a val.
uablc picture. Another bullet struck
and shattered the glass in the Methodist
church steeple.
A prominent insurance man says that
if a fire had occurred ON South Main
street during Thursday night no insur-
ance could have been collected.
The police were on the ground, but
did nothing to stop the dangerous fool.

There is circle drawn around the hos

the departure of Capt. Grossly, of the Sew
enth cavalry, with four troops for Beaver
creek, seven miles away. The circle is
drawn to the north and east from there
to Col. Henrys command; from thence to
Col. Wheaton's; thence to Col. Stapford's;
thence to Col. Wells; thence to Col.
Offiey's; thence to Gen. Carr's; thence to
Col. Whitnsy's on the Wounded Knee bat
tie ground, and from there back to the
agency. by this arrangement the Indians
are practically hemmed in. AT the prin-
cipal railway stations along the edge of
the reservation state troops are quartered.
The line is drawn between the Indians
and the Bad Lands.
Col. Forsythe Relieved.
In accordance with instructions tele-
graphed from Washington City Gen. For
sythe has been relieved of his command of
the Seventh cavalry, pending investiga-
ton of the Wounded Knee affair. Maj.
Whitesides succeeds to the command of
the regiment. Maj Whitesides says the
affair was an accident, that few mo-
ments before the fighting began the
squaws were merrily pelting the searching
party with bundles of rags. The accepted
reason for Gen. Forsythe's relief is the
manner in which his troops were placed
in the fight.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Lieut. Col. Corbin.
Acknowledgement of the division of the
Missouri, left for the Pine Ridge Agency
last evening. He is to be chief of staff of
Gen. Miles at the latter's headquarters in
the Indian war. The order transferring
Col. Corbin to this important position ar
rived by telegraph during the afternoon,
and within few hours Col. Corbin was
on his way to Pine Ridge agency. The
fact that Gen. Miles has determined upon
forming a regular staff Mt the seat of the
troubles, with such an experienced sol.
der as Col Corbin in charge, would seem
to indicate that the Indian fights will no
longer bear the character of skirmishes
and disconnected engagements, but bear
the dignity and seriousness of war-a
regular campaign.
