Los ANGELES. De. 26 The great sport.
ing event of the season, the contest between
the Stanford University and the Los An
geles Athletic Football teams, brought cut
an immense crowd to the grounds. They
came decorated ia the colors of their fayo-
rites, the crimson of Stanford being dis
played perhaps a little more moderately
than the futtering orange and red of the
local team. Before the game tile general
opinion seemed to be favorable for another
victory for Palo Altos champions, while
the betting, though light, seemed to make
tn is fact palmer, noticeable odds being Of
-fered on the students from the north.
The cars kept unloading crowds, and By
the time the brawny contestants entered the
field fully 5000 people were on the ground, a
good third being ladies. who in their bright
.coi0rs gave the stands fine appearance.
The game commenced promptly at 2:15
o'clock after short preliminary practice.

would end. The boys from the north
showed the effects of their superior training
and won easily hands down, the locals
being unable to make any Roadway against
them.
The game lasted an hour and twenty
minutes, forty minutes for each half, and
resulted in victory for the Stan fords by
the one-sided score of 81 to o.

HORSE ON HANLEY.
A Man Charged With Stealing Steed
Worth One Dollar and Ten Cents.

The Hanleys and the Russells, whose
homes are near the intersection Of Folsom
ana Twenty-eighth streetssno longer speak
as they 60 BY. Their relations, once so cor
dial. have been severed. and so intense is
their hatred that their innocent offspring do
not deign to make faces at each other as
they 60 to school. 1t is q sad state Of af-
fairs, brouoht eabout by an unobirusiye
horse. a harmless specimen of his noble
race, whose projecting bones as he goes
upon his weary way suggest the immortal
Rczinante.
The name OF the owner Of this matches
| steed is unknown.
The horse was captured and taken to the
pound few days ago. where he was seen by
| John Russell of Manchesiepsstreet. who
| gave his wife 81 10 with which she bought
| the beast on the day of the sale at the
pound. Mrs. Russell secured the Roz-
inante. whose color. or all that was left Of
| IT, was bay, ana took him TO her humble
| home. Her husband. whose besettng sin
| is horse-trading. was Of the opinion that
there was something in the animal, which
showed thathe was aperson OF extraordinary
discernment, as every one else who gaZed
upon the beast decided that he was suffer-
| ing from chronic emptiness.
| On Sunday afternoon Lemuel Hanley,
| brother of Blocker" Hanley, was arrested
| for stealing the remarkable horse from the
1
| Prison, and by this time has made the ac-
| quaintance of several buDdied cock
reaches and many other interesting citizens
| OF the insect world that inhabit th at inter-
| esting place.
| BLOCKER" called to see his relative last
night and declared with great emphasis
/ that the prisoner was innocent Of The awful
| crime imputed TO him.
This is how it was" he said. "The
| horse is a plug about twenty years old,
| knuckled in one OF its front feet. rs
| curiosity, that's what il is. My brother and
my br0ther-in-law bou ght il from Mrs
| Russell for SIS so. She mPde about 200 per
! cent profit on her investment and should
| have been satisfied. They took the horse
! home thinking that they would make some
! thing out OF him.
Mrs. Russell called in the afternoon
| saying that her husband would not consent
1 to the sale. and returned the money"
Meanwhile Russell had sworn ont a war
| rant and the judge Of good horsefiesh had
| been arrested.

Alameda,

The City Trustees will hold their regular
meeting tomorrow evening, and canvass
the school bond election returns.
Yesterday was observed as holiday in
Alameda. All the business houses on
Park street were closed. and the street had
the appearance it usually presents on Sun
days.
Municipal politics is already engaging
considerable attention. There are two
Trustees to he elected, aud at least a dozen
names have been mentioned in this eonnee-
ton.
Alameda is fortunate city in its free
dom from fires An alarm is not turned in
once month On an average, and large
sized fire has not occurred in several years.
The city has a weil-equipped fire depart
ment, but the Insurance rates continue as
high as ever.
Complaint is made by the local bakers
that bread left at private residences early
in the morning is stolen, and the police are
on the lookout for petty thieves.
Charles johnson, driver of THOMPSON
Hook and Ladder Company, is dangerously
i'll with pneumonia.
Several accidents have occurred lately
which make keenly felt the need of re-
ceivDg hospital in Alameda. Injured per-
sons have to be taken to Oakland, aud the
time consumed in carrying them hitler is
considerable, while if they received prompt
attention their lives might be saved.

TO TRY HER GUNS.
Settling the Dispute Over
the Vesuvius.
DYNAMITE CRUISERS IN WAR.
Arranging for a Practical Test of the
Destructive Power of Ships of
the Novel Type.
Special to The MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The Navy De-
partment has mapped out most exhaustive
trial for the dynamite cruiser Nesuyius
and her guns. The trial will take place at
Port Royal. S. c.. about January 10.
Though not quite appropriate to the season
of peace and good WILL" the Navy Depart
ment says that the plan embraces q most
exhaustive programme for the trial OF the
Vesuvius and her guns. 1t is the de-
sire Of the department to determine
once for all just what may be
expected of this craft in time of need.
Shots will be fred at moving and stationary
targets, and with the vessel moving at vary
ing degrees of speed. The most interesting
feature of the trial will be six shots, each
loaded with SEQ pounds Of high explosives,
fred at a moving target consisting of con-
densed bulk. This it is supposed will give
q practical illustration of the ability of the
Nesuvius to carry out the purpose for
which she was built. namely to sink the
ship Of the enemy at the distance of mile.
EiEhty-four shots in all will be fred. sixty
six blanks and eighteen loaded with emmen-
site aud gun cotton.

Police on the Trail of a
Missing Girl.
PROBABLE CASE OF ABDUCTION
Two Young Men Detected in Trying
to Smuggle Opium Into the
City Prison.

The disappearance of Maria Buchanan,
14-year-old girl, from the residence Oh
Isaac Lamb, Forty-fifth street and San
Pablo avenue, has been reported to the
Oakland and San Francisco police. to the
Sheriff and to DR.. Carpenter OF the Humane
Society.
This was done by the mother, Lamb and
his wife remaining inert about the matter
and talking mysteriously when asked about
it,
The mother, who has been staying at the
Chabot Home, and who was also dlsncilned
| to talk at first, now explains the lassitnde
of the Lambs ON the ground that the child
has been abducted by her divorced husband,
and that they assisted in bringing II about.
She now believes that Maria is in British
Columbia. and that she was taken away and
sent there by man named Stanly, who
came from Liverpool as an agent OF her
husband for that purpose.
She says that Stanly and the hired men
were traced to San Francisco and that she
reported it to the police and to the District
Attorney, asking for search warrant. IL
was denied, the reason being that the girl
was IA years old and had right to choose
her own guardian.
The mother was appointed legal guardian
by Judge Harris of Fresno. but the recovery
of the child, they said. might be useless.
since she had manifested a preference to
leave and could at once apply to have a
guardian of her choosing appointed.
The mother had to rest with this eXplaDa-
ton. The Lambs, in whose charge she
left the child, will offer no reason whatever
for her disappearance.
A daring attempt 10 smuggle opium into
the City Prison was made early yesterday
morning. Patrol-driyeT Frank Ball saw two
young men attempting TO scale the high
fence in the rear of the prison, and at his
approach they retreated. During their hight
through the City Hall grounds they dropped
small package, which was found TO con-
tain prepared opium.

the Receiving Hospital, was crazy all day
yesterday with deliTium tremens. He fell

leg had 10 be amputated. ! Yesterday he dis
arranged the bandages and came near
bleeding TO death. DIR. johnson put him in
strait.jacket and gave him glass OF
whisky. while Steward Larson stood by and
muttered to himself, "This is merry
Christmas for me, now, amt it ?'
The big ferry-steamers crossed and re-
crossed the bay every half hour yesterday
with not enough passengers to pay the ex-
penses of the coal for each trip. That. at
least, was the way it was expressed by
doleful Southern Pacific official who got

His SurpIice Caught Fire.

There was a most sensational incident
Sunday night during the Christmas services
at the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton. Oakland. Rev. Father King, one of
the best known priests in Oakland, stepped
GDon the altar. and had just announced his
text, when his surplice caught fire from the
altar lamp.
ln an instant he was enveioped in flames
and there great excitement throughout the
church. Men sDrang TO their feet and
women shrieked IN terror.
Finally four members Of the congregation
rushed forward and rescued Father King
by smothering the flames with their coats
The priests hands were badly blistered,
and be received severe burns about tbs face
and body.
When several ladies started forward he
calmly waved them back and quieted them
with part Of his text: Weep not over
me, daughters of Israel, but weep over your
SINS" Soon the excitement abated. and the
service was concluded without further in
terruption.
