published in early issue. The performances
marked with an asterisk are those in class Of
test for which the A.A.A. have never quoted a
record.
The walking of IT Curt,s the am ateur cham MON
last year was one of the leading features of the
athletic season: He made three new records on
three successive Saturdays. On July he walked
two mile in 14:2 2-5: on ulv H. one mile in 6:3j.
and on July IS, eight miles in III: 1-5. Th ese
records have, however, to be confirmed by the
Records Committee of the A.A.A.. who will hold
their annual meeting shortly.
The action of this committee in the matter f the
reputed records of Cary and Queckberner will be
awaited with interest. Cary was timed doing
los. for l0O-yard race at little meeting in the
North, and Queckberner has shown record
achievement in hammer throwing and weight
throwing. but in exhibition only. Sponsors for
these records may be hard to find, and their rejee
ton Will not greatly surprise us.

ALLIANCE, Feb S.-[Specidl 1-Silas
Lampson, farmer living near this place,
came into the city Saturday. A well
dressed young man called on him, and drew
from his pocket one of those toy money
making machines, used by practical jokers.
The young man showed Lampson that by
placing piece of white paper between two
rolls and turning crank, brand new money
could be turned out of any denomination.
Lampson has son in Pittsburg who in
jest had told his father of the phenomenal
money-making machine shown him by a
hotel clerk, and the elder Lampson's eyes
opened when he saw the> miracle with his
own eyes. Lampson offered to buy the
machine, and was told its price was 81, 900.
$500 to be paid down and the balance when
he received a consignment of the proper
paper The $500 was paid over at once and
the stranger left. Yesterday young Lamp
son came down from Pittsburg and jokingiy
told his father he had wonderful machine,
at the same time drawing one of the toys
from his pocket. The elder Lampso1 then
told how he had been victimized and they
started after the stranger, who had hired a
rig and escaped into the country.

BUCK EWING NOT TO BE BENCHWARXER

The Linden Club carried off the bowling
honors last night at the its club house for
the Hostetter cup. The real contest was
between the Bellefelds and the Lindens,
their respective scores being along so close
that the enthusiasm was manifestly shown
by the usual aristocratic spectators present.
From the manner in which the Bellefelds
opened the ball they looked like easy win
ners, but the Linden gentlemen kept up a
steady pace and finished handily ahead OF
both competing clubs
The series of games last night were the
best and most exciting since the contest for
the cup began two months ago.
The grand total of the Lindens exceeds
any before made in this particular event.
The remarkable scores of Mr. Slocum, of
the Lindens, and Mr.. Ruch, of the Belle
fields, were the events of the nights enjoy
ment The latter's score of 6S3, as a total,
leads any previous record in the triangular
match, while that of Mr.. Slocum's, with
645 to his credit, makes him the lion of the
Lindens' admirers. The following is the
total score, with individual strikes and
spares:

ERIE, Feb. S-A few ev enings since the
trustees of the State Normal School at
Edinboro held meeting and summarily
dismissed the principal, Prot. j. A. Cooper,
but the latter refused to accept notice of
the fact, having been employed for year,
and this morning refused to deliver up the
keys. Prof G. A. Langley, who was ap-
pointed principal pro TEN, was refused the
principals chair.
Trustees Lewis and Haskins fastened
to Erie, and an exciting time is expected at
the chapel hour tomorrow. Prosecutions
are threatened against the trustees, who are
bank officers, for conspiracy.
The trouble was commenced last week
through the issue of number of executions
against Prof Cooper on claims trumped up
by enemies but which were promptly salts
fed by Cooper. 1t is alleged the failure to
have Cooper sold out and ruined led to the
action of the trustees. The students at
tending the school are up in arms, and all
stand by their Principal

Sad Case of Domestic Infelicity Is Now
on Trial at Carlisle.

A Sad Case of Domestic Infelicity Is Now
on Trial at Carlisle.
CARLISLE, Feb. S-The Newville vitrol-
throwing case occupied the attention of the
court for almost the entire day, and has
proved to be far more sensational than an
ticipated. Cora Frey, q comely woman,
aged "a, is on trial for pouring vitrol upon
her husband while ne was in bed asleep, and
the offense is admitted. 1t is the result of
three years domestic infelicity. They were
married in Camden, n. j., years ago. They
separated and then compromised their diff
culties. In September the husband left
home, going to the home of his father
That night she asked her father to take
her in, but he refused as he had compro-
missed the former difficulty. She went at
once to Frey's home and asked to stay for
the night, and was permitted to room with
her husband. That night she asked him to
forgive her. He refused, and she then
poured into his face an ounce of vitrol she
had purchased the evening before. He was
severely burned, but has since recovered.
The woman is subject to hvsteria, and the
defense is that owing to her infrmitv and
the great provocation, she is not responsible
for the rash deed.

BUCK MUST PLAY BALL
If He Wants to Draw a Fat Salary and
Remain in the Club.

w
Remain in the Club.
NEW YORK, Feb. s.-[SpeciaI buck Ewing
is credited with the statement that he thinks
he will be able to go behind the bat next
season, and that it would be advisable to en-
gage John Reilly to play first base. If
Ewing made the remark, and there seems no
reason to doubt its authenticity, it is full of
significance, and furnishes strong evidence
that the willy Buck is laying plans for
another season of ease and luxury on the
PLAYERS bench.
There is good ground to believe that Ew-
ing will be unable to do the constant and
hard throwing required of a catcher, while
he might get along at first base without
trouble. As a catcher he would be of no
value to tine team whatever, but at first base
the nine would have the constant benefit of
his abilities as a field captain and batsman.
we'll based opinion exists that Ewing
will give full value for his salary next sea-
son or else retire from the club. The days
of drawing a fat salary in return for sitting
on q bench are over, so far as the New York
club is concerned. A statement has been
going the rounds that Ewing salary is guar
anteed. There is no truth in it. Welch is
the only player who has that sort of an ar
fangement with the club.

ONE CENT A DOSE.

Nobody likes being sick, vet many are
willing to be 80 rather than face a heavy doc
tors bill. But what's the use of suffering at
all when relief and cure may be purchased at
the rate of one cent a dose, by using Bur-
dock Blood Bitters medicine that is guar
anteed to cure OF relieve all diseases of the
stomach, liver and bowels. Two great
sources of disease are Dyspepsia and Con-
stipation. They cause Headache, Bilious
ness, Dizziness, Palpitation and Impure
Blood, which in turn causes pirnples, boils,
blotches, tumors, scrofula and similar dis
eases, thus affecting the entire system. We
guarantee Burdock Blood Bltters, il faith

Dyspepsia and Constipation and all diseases
springing from them, and will refund the
money to any sperson not satisfied after

graduate subscription of about 5000. The re-
mainder will be partly borrowed from the

sumed by the new treasurer as has been
the custom previously. The launch is
in very good repair as regards her ma
chinery, but her hull is weak, and she
leaks badly, and she cannot keep up

for New London is almost necessity.
The quarters at New London are in good
repair, having been refitted last year.
