PARIS, July 20.-The chamber of dep
uties rejected the proposal made by NJ.
De Freycinct, president of the council
and minister of war, to grant the sum of
100000 to the Ecole Polytechnique. AS
q result, the session OF the chamber was
suspended and cabinet council was
summoned to consider the situation. 1t
was reported that NJ. De Freycinct had
decided to tender his resignation, but it
was afterwards learned that members
of the council of ministers have per-
suaded M. De Freycinct not to resign.
The cabinet ministers have represented
to M. De Freycinct that the rejection by
the chamber of deputies of the credit
asked for did not imply want of conf
dence of the government. When the
ministers returned to the chamber the
session was resumed, but was immedi-
ately afterwards closed.

Objections to n Bridge Over East River

When the plans for the Brooklyn bridge
were first presented to public consideration,
strong objections were made to their adop-
tion on the ground that better results
could be obtained from tunnel built
under the East river. The opponents Of
air and sunshine had n good deal to say
concerning the advantages of subterranean
transit, but they were quickly overruled.
1t was even said by some that the Brooklyn
bridge might fall down or blow over,
whereas tunnel would be perfectly
secure.-New York Sun.

AFTER FOUR YEARS.
A Cripple Who Absoonded with
Railroad Funds.
He WAS MINUS AN ARM AND LEG

Yet with This Disadvantage He
Managed to Keep the Detectives
Puzzled Until the Guarantee Com
pany Gave Up Hope of Ever Find
ing Him.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2o.-A. r. Sabine,
resident secretary of the Guarantee
Company of North America, COG Walnut
street, has received news tina. ]. G.
Cullinan, an absconding agent Of the
Chicago, st, Louis and Pittsburg rail-
road, has been arrested after a four
years chase.
The case is a remarkable one for two
reasons Cullinan was almost helpless,
having but one arm and one leg, and
detectives all over the country were
looking for him in order to gain reward
of 1000. Yet he escaped arrest.
The Guarantee Company of North
America went on his bond for the rail-
road to the amour of 81 900. J. Culii-
nan was then freight and ticket agent
at Globe, Ills. He continued there for
some time, but suddenly Secretary
Sabine received information that he had
disappeared, being S576 short in his ac-
counts.
Considered Him an Extra Safe Risk.
The Guarantee company had consid-'
cred Culllnan one of their safest risks,
for 1t seemed absurd to suppose that he
would attempt to abscond. His right
leg and his left arm were good, but the
others had been amputated. In fact. he
could not get about at all unless as
sisted by some other person. Conse-
quently Mr. Sabine, although greatly
garprised at the disappearance, felt con-
Gdent of at once making the capture.
Ihe usual means were taken. The po-
lice of all the cities were notified and de-
scrlptive circulars were sent all over the
land. Then the Guarantee company of
ficers paid the railroad company S516
and waited for their man to be brought in.
a week passed, and q month; the
season slipped away. and still the detec-
tiyes were on the alert to get 81 900 by
capturiDg~a man with the left leg and
right arm gone. Police in Boston, New
York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago,
st. Louis and all the other big towns, as
well as little ones, kept their eyes open.
But one year, two, three and four years
passed and no word came.
Captured at Last.
Ihe Guarantee company had about
given up all expectation of getting their
man when Mr. Sabine was informed by
his pjttsburg agent that Cullinan had
6etn located at last. Then came tele-
gram from Toronto that the ex-ticket
ASant was cap ured.
"Of course we were immensely
pleased" Mr.. Sabine said, "and Gulf
nan is now jailed up there at Toronto.
We haven't decided what to do with
him yet. Where he could have been
secreted and how he could elude arrest
all these .years is wonderful to me. I
suppose he confessed to some friends
that he was short and would have to
clear out; and that they started to help
him. Certainly he couldn't have run
away himself. for ! don't believe he
could walk alone. But this case only
proves that it is almost impossible for a
man to elude arrest in this country"

Francisco club. The victory was an
especially great one, considering the fact
that the Los Angeles club played its first
game together, whereas San Francisco
has been playing the same team eight
months with the exception of Speer, who
is playing Swett's position. The victory
was due to no one player. Every man
played the game OF baseball, and each
man on the local team did something
during the game worthy of special men

The day was perfect California one,

Everyone seemed to have good word

Baseball club of Los Angeles gained a
brilliant victory over the San Francisco
club. The Los Angeles Lacrosse team
triumphed over the Riverside club. The

won from Santa Monica. The Olive
Football club defeated the University at

herself proud. A fact worthy of mem

close and exciting, and gave universal
satisfaction to the patrons of outdoor
sport.

corking hit down toward second.
Hulin made break for the ball, stopped
it with his left. fell down, then made
q beautiful throw to first in time to beat
Clark, thus retiring the side. 1t was at
this stage of the game that young Mr..
Huen became favorite.
In the fifth inning Los Angeles took
the ginger out of Blauvelt. Knell got
first on Peoples error, and stole second.
McAleer and DUNCAN got in singles, and
Hulen a double. The result was four
runs. and the game remained s to l
until the eighth inning. Then the crowd
became excited when Cartwright drove
the ball over the left center fence for
four bases. Sharp and Smith had
already touched Knell for singles and
walked in ahead of their big
captain. The excitement was now
at fever heat but Frisco failed to
score again hisinning. DUNCAN thought
the score dangerously close, so he led
off with double: Hulen senthim home
with another. After Lucas had been
disposed of, Goldie raped out double.
Holiday hit for single but Goldie was
caught at the plate. San Francisco

single run was the best that could be
done. and the game was over, Los An

but that method is more trying and is
not nearly as effective as throwing.
The ball is now in dangerous proxim-

passes the ball to Culbert, who puts it
through the goal to the delight OF the
admirers of the home team.
The first game lasted exactly min

THE SECOND GAME.
After the usual intermission of ten
minutes, hostilities were again resumed.
Every foot of ground was hotly contest

endeavors. 1t was hot and heavy for
some time. The visiting team were
struggling hard to even up matters with
the local team, but the fates were not
propitious. McCarter dashed the ball
through the Riverside goal. Caps and
lacrosse sticks were sent into the air by
the jubilant members of the Los Angeles
team.
The time of this game was IL minutes.
THIRD GAME.
Los Angeles looked all over the win

grounds with the feet-footed athletes in
pursuit. The dexterity of the players
