WORLD OF SPORTS.

Thursday the newly elected off cers of the League of American Wheelmen of this state assumed their offices for the ensuing year. The chief consul will be transferred to Hartford, the home of A. H. Schu macher, the newly elcted candidate tc that office. There are 2,675 L. A. w members in the state, but the tota vote did not exceed 4SS. The polls closed November IA, and as there were no candidates opposing those nominated by the board of officers the election was very quiet one. The system of voting is something like the Illustration ballot system, and ITS ballots were rejected because of failure to place cross beside the names.
 The Portland Express says: Lachance was not released but suspended thanks to the keen foresight of Manager Garrity. The latter saw that Lachance was too valuable man to release outright. So the big catchr was suspended. Now if any other team in the league is desirous of his services in '93-and several area practical illustration of the value of Mir. Blaine's plan can be worked. Reciproc- ity is a good thing in more than a single line. Portland, by letting La chance go, can get good player in exchange.

GROUND UNDER CAR WHEELS.
John Kelly, Aged 12, Fatally Injured in
 the New England Road Yards.

John Kelly, Aged 12, Fatally Injured in
 the New England Road Yards.
 An accident occurred in the vicinity of Matthew Kennedy's coal yards, this morning, that will probably result in the death of John Kelly, the twelve year-old son of Mrs Kelly, who lives at 610 Bank street. The boy, in company with several companions, has been in the habit of "bobbing" freight cars on the New England road, and illustrating for the benefit of their. more timid com panions how easily they could board trains while in motion. About 10 o'clock this morning the New England yard switcher was "kicking" two cars into the siding near Kennedy's yards, and Kelly and few companions were near by watching the work. Suddenly the lad made a jump for the platform of the first car, and missed his hold. He tried to get out of the way but was too late. The wheels of the second car passed over his left leg and arm. He \ was removed to the baggage room at the New England station. After some time an ambulance was called and the lad removed to his home, and Drs Mum ger and Benedict summoned.
 The left leg was cut off almost to the knee and the left arm taken off nearly | to the elbow. The back of the head was badly cut. and he is cut and bruised about the left eye. When Drs. Benedict and Munger arrived they found that the primary shock was so great that the unfortunate boys vitality was being rapidly exhausted. They decided to allow some time for him to rally before operating. It is a question whether he will sufficiently recover to admit of any operation. The doctors made him as comfortable as possible under the cir cumstances.
 The boy lives with his mother, four sisters and brother in the New Eng land hotel block on Bank street. He has father living in Taunton, Mass.
 Just how the boy was thrown under the wheels is in doubt. While one re- port says he was thrown while boarding the train another is that he was hanging on to the moving cars and was struck by a car on another track and thrown | under the wheels.

WAITER.

KELLY says there is 8 dark horse to the water question. It is the artesian we'll svstem. He offers the following nine reasons for supporting it:
 1st.-The cost for driving wells and get tino them in operation would be less than half the first cost for getting water from east or west.
 2nd.-The expense for operating would he considerably less than the wear and tear on piping between the city and the new reservoirs. IT, :,
 tory question.
 lthlIt would save that summer resort known as Quassapaug, which is the only breathing place for our working people within sixteen miles.
 5th.-It would be more reliable in dry weather. as it would not depend on sur face water.
 6th'-Nine-t enths of the contagious dis eases of the world have been traced back to impure water. Artesian we'll water is always pure, because it is not exposed to any impurities until it reaches your table. fth,-It is not a new experiment. be- cause every factory, in the city is using them and knows what they are.
 Sth.-We are already equipped with pumps and machinery, leaving only the one cost for drilling to furnish us all the water we need.
 9th.-This will give us the opportunity to move our pumps from Mad river, because if the fig ures of some of our local factory engineers are correct there won't be water enough left after Sa s get NoW s%PPeS Ps S t wheat flour because new flour is coming In, and KELLY'S opinion is that you will never buy Flour cannot be- produced at a less cost than now,

EGYPTIAN OBELlSKS.
How the Ancients Cut and Erected Thel
 Great MOnoliths.

How the Ancients Cut and Erected Thel
 Great MOnoliths.
 The obelisks of the Pharohs are made of red granite called syenite. In the quarries at Syene may yet be seen an unfinished obelisk, still adhering t, the native rock, with traces of work mems tools so clearly seen on it's sur face that one might suppose they ha6 been suddenly called away and intend ed soon to return and finish their work
 This unfinished obelisk shows tn, mode in which the ancients separateO these immense monolithS from the na- tive rock. In a sharply-cut groov, marking the boundary of the stones are holes evidently designed for woodeI wedges. After these had been firmly driven in o the holes the groove wa filled with water. The wedges grad ually absorbing the water, swelled anG cracked the granite throughout tn, length of the groove. The block, onct detached from the rock, was pushed forward upon rollers made from tho stems of palm trees from the quarries to the edge of the Nile, where it was surrounded by a large timber raft.
 It lay by the river side until the next inundation of the Nile, when the rising waters foated the raft and conveyed the obelisk down the stream to the city where it was to be set up. Thousands of willing hands pushed it on rollers ur an inclined plane to the front of the temple where it was designed to stand. The pedestals had previously been placed in position and firm causewaJ of sand covered with blanks led to the top of it. Then, by means of rollers levers and ropes made of the date palm the obelisk was gradually hoisted into an upright position.
 It speaks much for the mechanica accuracy of the Egyptian masons that so true was the level of the top of tn, base and the bottom of the long shaft in no single instance has the obelisl | been found to be out of the true per nendicular. Chicago News.

Futnres-Ihe course Of all the markets
today would seem 10 verify To some ~,
tent the report telegruphed from New
York that the bulls had stopped buying
nggressively. There was an absence IN
Liverpool Of the demand at the opening
which has been so pronounced feature
OF that market for many days ana me
first loss of 1854 was not recovered III
spite Of many fluctuations ana the CLOS
ing shows prices I-G4 below those on
yesterday. Spots were neglected by
spnners and prices were marked les low
or with sales OF only 1000 bales. Our
market has shown the greatest steadi-
ness of all and closes only I lower on
the DAY. The reason for this is no
doubt to he found In the fact that mid
ding cotton. after being marked on
1-Sc today Il still az o 1t-1G. while cotton
for May delivery can be bought here
within few points of that figure, This
was liquidation day on November, and
1t was II curious fact that the honse rep
rcsonting the largest bear element de-
mundcd aud received about 5000 to
$500 bales on November contracts from
the house leading the bull contingent.
One sale Of November was reported this
afternoon as high as Zoe. .
Receipts at all ports today are $1,000
bales against 10000 bales last year.
Tomorrow New Orleans expects 10000
bales against 10000 bales last year, end
$1,000 bales ut all ports. The general
impression prevails that the cotton
brought out 10y present prices and the
active buying In the interior during the
past week will make itself felt at the
ports In heavier receipts.
