THE DANGERS OF FooTBALL.-With-
in week two young men have died
from injuries received while playing
football. So dangerous has the game
become that players in recent games
have adopted guards for their faces
and one young man is said to have
used a steel corset. A player with
these appliances looks more like an
insurgent ready for battle than q young
American dressed for sport. The
truth of the matter is that football is
more dangerous and is the direct cause
of the loss Of more lives than prize
fighting. The element of jeopardy
makes it attractive, just as the perils
of a bull fight draw thousands who
would not attend a game that would
Re safe to life and limb. 1t is unde-
niably great sport in its excitement
and picturesqueness, but surely the
civilization of the latter half of the
nineteenth century should be worthy OF
something better than professional
rough-and-tumble, with occasional
smuggling, and enough casualties to de-
mand the constant watchfulness and
attendance of surgeon.

Anarchist Meeting.

CHICAGO, Nov, l4.-Some 200 people
almost entirely German, and among
them many women, gathered in Aurora
Turner Hall last night to hold mas.
meeting as was announced in the print.
ed invitation, "In Honor of Murdered
Martyrs for the Workingmen's Eman-
cipation, Nov. IL, 1887" II. Nelson
presided and Lucy Parsons occupied o
place on the platform. Samuel Field,
Ell, the first speaker, paid tribute to his
dead comrades in much the usual fash
ion and there was not much demonstra.
ton. When Oscar Neebe, however
spoke in German, he seemed to strike
the keynote of feeling in the audience
and received very cordial signs Of
approval both by voice and hand
Neebe, after eulogizing the dead in
Waldheim, advanced a new theory as
to the death of Lingg. He claimed that
Lingg was taken out of his cell and that
the bomb with which he destroyed him
self was furnished by the guards in the
shape of a cigar. August Lott, baker
of recent arrival, advocated anything
to destroy the capitalistic class.

Ayirginian's Complaint.

Mr.. Harry V. Snead, of New York,
a prominent member of the South
ern colony there, was held in $500 bail
yesterday on the charge of carrying a
concealed weapon. Mr.. Snead was ar
rested last Thursday as a suspicious
person, and when the officers in the
station searched him they found in his
pocket revolver. He was arrested
just as he was about to pawn some art-
cles, and, according to the young mans
story, he was brutality treated. DIR.
Snead said yesterday that he would
prosecute tine two detectives who ar
rested him, and who, he alleges, beat
him. Judge Roger A. Pryor has inter:
ested himself in young Snead's case,
and there promises to BIZ good deal of
litigation over the arrest and treatment
of the young Virginian. Dir. Snead is
son of General Thomas l.. Snead,
who was member of the Confederate
Congress from Virginia, and came into
some prominence in New York az the
inventor of parcel express system,
based in some respects on the drop
in-the-slot principle. The company or
ganized to push the invention was not
at first successful, and Mr.. Snead him
self lost considerable money in the ven-
ture. Last Thursday, being in need of
ready money, be put into bag lot of
silverware, which ne intended pawning.
The detectives thought the bag looked
suspicious, and they arrested Snead,
who would have been released but for
the discovery offs revolver in his peck
ct later on. He claimed that he was
not only cuffed and beaten by the de-
tectives, but that they also read private
letters addressed to him and otherwise
heaped indignities upon him, They
refused to send message to his friends
when they found out be had not the
money to pay messenger for that ser
vice. Mr.. Snead threatens the detect
ives with suits as soon as he is free.

Rank Robbery.

WALLA WALLA, Nov. IA daring
bank robbery, with an attempt to muir
der the president of the Bank of Milton,
occurred at Milton, Oregon, ten miles
south of this city, yesterday afternoon.
At 9 o'clock, when few persons were
on the street, three men, without at
tracing any special attention, rode
leisurely into town and dismounted at
the door of the Bank of Milton. Two
entered the bank while the third stood
guard outside and held the horses.
President A. Hopson, Cashier n. A.
Davis and Assistant Cashier William
Hopson were in the bank at the time.
The first intimation of the coming OF
the robbers was when two shots were
fired by the intruders before making any
verbal demand. Both shots took effect
in President Hopson's body, inflicting
painful flesh wounds and telling him to
the floor. The revolver was held so
close to the head of Cashier DAVIS that
the conclusion knocked him down.
The robbers then demanded money
from William Hopscn. He handed
them a tray of counter change con-
tanning $944.25. Taking this they left
Immediately without an attempt to
get the cash in the vault. The noise
of the shots spread the alarm and with.
in five minutes an armed and mounted
posse was in pursuit, but all traces
were lost after short distance. The
weather was very foggy and it was i'm
possible to see more two hundred
yards. One of the robbers was identi-
fed as one A. McCarty.

A DOC ScATTERs ANARCRIsTs.-One
mad dog had 200 people on the wild
run down Lake street, Chicago, on Sat
urdsy afternoon. The brute, with
foaming mouth, dashed from an alley,
and by single look dispersed the
crowd which had assembled in front of
Grief's Hall to march to Waldheim, to
attend the services in memory of the
dead Anarchists. The big Newfound-
land dog was more terror than pla-
toon of police, and men and women
scrambled psll NELL for seclued spots.
Six blocks away tho dog vas cornered

THE PHILADELPHIA Record says the
cause of the recent overwhelming DEM
ocratic defeat in Ohio was the simple
fact that "this year the republicans
went to the polls and the democrats
didn't" Truer words were never spok-
en-, and they apply just as well to the
democratic defeats in all the other
States and, what's worse, the fact that
half the democrats in Kentucky and
Virginia didn't so to the polls would
have had like result in those States
also, II the republicans therein had have
turned out. Why the democrats did
not 90 to the polls any where else ex-
cept in New York city, where they in
creased their majority, is plain to every
body save the people at the White
House and those who are familiar there.

The Minister is lying at his rooms in

says his condition is not serious, but
necessitates a fortnight's rest. The

A Card from MIR. Fryer.

TO The Editor Of Tie Alexandria Gdsetfe:
You will do me great favor by Civ
ing me space sufficient to say that the
current reports, concerning negotiations
for the purchase Of the steamer Howard
Cassard, through New York agents for
the Brazilian government, give me far
less satisfaction than people would sup
pose, for the reason that have already
nearly completed arrangements for get
ting the Cassard fitted for service in
local waters, where the advantages Of
her system of construction can be APP
preciated, through means of which mo-
ney can be raised for the construction
of standard ocean steamers, for ocean
passenger service as originally contem-
plated by the company l represent.
Moreover, / do not believe that the
Cassard, al her best, would serve very
great purpose as cruiser, as she is but
four-tenths the scale of our standard
vessel and lacks in her make up many
of the desirable features that would be
found in our regular sized vessel, or one
that would be designed for combination
purposes. With many thanks to you
and other newspaper publishers who
have made prompt and kindly mention
of the possible disposition of the Cas-
sard to the advantage of the Arrow
Steamship Company, ! remain
Yours with resOect.

The Presbyterian Alliance of the District,
league between the various churches of
that denomination here held its annual
meeting in the Eastern Presbyterian
Church, corner of Maryland avenue and 9th
street northeast, last night.
considerable amount of interesting and
important business was transacted, reports
OF various sorts were made and the officers
for the coming year were elected. Rev. DR..
w. c. Alexander, pastor of the West Street
PreSby terrain Church, and Rev. DIR. Thomas
c. Easton of the Eastern Presbyterian
Church addressed the meeting. Dr. Alex
ander took as his subject "A Minister in
New Role" saying that although it was not
the duty of minister or a wise thing on
his part to NEEDLE in politics to any ex-
tent, it was his business to keep himself
informed on all public questions and affairs.
Moreover, he should not hesitate to preach
upon Secular matters from the pulpit or to
protest against public acts which he deem
ed wrong and immoral DR.. Alexander al
luded to the part the ministers had taken
In overthrowing the power OF the New Jer-
sey race tracks and alluded to the public
school question in New York state, quoting
somewhat from Monsignor Satoln in that
regard.
DR.. Easton spoke principally of the new
church enterprise of which he is the head,
and said that although some had thought it
an unwise and too costly affair such a
and 1t was as imperative to provide a
church In that locality, where the rich
might not be ashamed to worship, as to
gather in the poor.
