run up against the lads from the Tar Heel
state. Trinity won the toss and took the
ball at the start and put 1t up within
few feet Of VirRinia's goal, but IL was
taken from them and carried back with but
few downs. IL was seen in the beginning
that Virginia was too strong for the Tar
Heel boys. The game was particularly
characterized by wiry passing of the ball on
the part of Trinity aud splendid center rush

team made frequent runs around the ends,
however, and their playing was excellent

extended far beyond the capital He died
OF pneumonia in the United States insane
asylum. To all prominel 10 congressman
and senators, and many others in public
life, the name and claims Of "Col" Pinch
over were familiar. He was German by
nlrth, and at one time a prosperous busi-
ness man Of Baltimore, but reverses
wrecked his fortune and his intellect.
He believed himself heir to millions and
that conspirators we're keeping him from
taking possession of his property, and he
carried around with him a circular tin box
containing numerous papers to establish his
claim. For long time he was regarded as
q harmless crank and his quaint figure was
a source of amusement around congress,
the departments, and courts. Il was quite
easy to get rid of him by making a pretense
OF indorsing his papers and referring him
to some prominent public man, who he
would Immediately start In search of, aud
those who thus amused themselves
generally gave him some small gratuity
upon which he managed to live and
pursue MS claims" from day 10 day. At
last however, his threats began to take
specific forms, being chiefly directed against
two of the district judges and Sem
Randall, chairman OF she House committee
on appropriations. He gradually settled
down into the opinion that Mr.. Randall
was the chief conspirator against him un-
til his demonstrations against the dis
tingulshed Pennsylvania became so vio-
lent that it was found necessary to send the
poor crazy "oolonep to the insane asylum.
There he died two days ago at the age of 73.
