me Delaware REID Club Fails to Score
In u Game With the Y. NJ. O. A.
Eleven young men from the Young
Mems Christian Association foot ball
team went out to Riverview with a de-
termined look in their eyes on Saturday.
They wore the white jersey and canvas
abbreviated breeches characteristic of
the football field. They were conf.
dent of victory at the outset, aud labor
ing under the observation that Chris.
tianity invariably wins, they had no
hesitancy in declaring that their oppo-
nents would depart completely
vanquished. The opponents were
eleven knights of the pig.skin from
the Delaware Field Club and il was
owing to the inability of the latter to
penetrate the opponents centre tackle
and properly interfere when the backs
secured the ball that lost the game to
tho Christians and rolled up the score
OF "a to O. In fact the Field Club men
were sadly lacking in the art of inter-
ference, tackling and getting through
their opponents rush line, while both
teams fumbled the ball mercilessly. 1t
was the first time this season the Field
Club men had had hold of the ball,
NY NcIS aoSOlulely WITHOUT pTdCLlCe.
They will come to the front later in the
season, however.
The Y. NJ. 9. A. was much stronger
in the rush line which demonstrated
their superior work in making large
gains through the centre whenever they
got possession of the ball. Rice played a
splendid game at full back and his long
runs around the ends for big gains and
his clever lodging were the features of
the game. Mahaffy also played good
game at quarter while the work of
Pierce at half-bach was noticeable and
his tackling was frequently greeted with
applause.
For the Field Club LIE Maistre at left
end ran and tackled well, while despite
the fambling of Jones at quarter, he
put up comparatively good game. The
Field Club was weak at centre while the
work of the men behind the line was
creditable. Two halves of 25 minutes
each were played. The men lined up as

So far only one man has declined office

county clerks and sherifis, cannot settle
their accounts for a generation. Fees are
charged, but sometimes never collected.
Only a short time ago David GOoding of
Greenfield, who was marshal for the Dis
trict of Columbia under johnson, was re-
quested to pay up to the government
8. 800 and the district attorney was or-
dered to bring suit against Gooding for
collection. OF course GoOding did not
owe the government a cent, but the rec
ords showed that certain amounts
of fees were taxed against individuals
and the government presumed that
the fees had all been collected by Good
ing. The fees are charged against the
officer whether he collects them or not.
The same is true with the pension agents.
Col Zoliinger's account with the govern
ment as agent under the first Cleve-

agent pays pensioners in checks. and

ANNIE wAoNER's STATEMENT.
She Tells Practically the Same story TO the
Coroner.


She Tells Practically the Same story to the
Coroner.
Coroner Beck. accompanied by bis stem
oRrapher, Miss Kate Allen. and an inter
prefer. called at the jail last night and
took the statement Of Annie Wagner.
Under oath she told substantially the same
story as has already been published in THE
SENTINEL. She said she was born
near koenigsberg. in eastern Prus-
sia and came TO this coun-
try five years ago, accompanied by
her sister, Mrs John Burgmau, who re-
sides on S. Tennessee-st. She first went
to work at Mueller's clearinghouse on $.
A!abama-st., where she remained nine
teen months. She denied the story of the
paris green being found in the salt-cellar,
and said she lett the place because
Mrs. Mueller objected TO her going TO
church. She next worked for Her
man Francis, and from there went TO
live with her sister, afterward taking en-
ployment at kossters' home. In speak
ing of the deaths IN the family, she said
that Mr.. Koesters' father had been feeling
badly for some time before he was taken
to bis bed. The eight-year-old daughter
Mary, wss feeling badly for some time
and had not eaten anything on the day
she was taken sick She came home from
school and ate quantity of cheese. which
she Annle) thinks was poisoned and
caused her death.
She emphatically denied that she had
purchased any Rough on Rats" AZ Borst's
drug store and said the only poison she
ever purchased there was sOme insect
powder, which she got to kill bed bugs.
She said that she was not in the store at
all on the day in question and that if
Borst was catholic he would not say
that she was Upon being asked why she
did not inform the officers that
the rat poison was in the house
she said that she had forgotten
that it was there and that she did not
fully understand what the officers were
searching for. She still insists that her
sister gave her the poison three weeks be-
fore Christmas. and now her sister comes
forward and says that she did give her q
box OF rough on rats. Upon being asked
why she did not say so when the officers
asked her, the sister. Mrs. Burgman,
stated that she misunderstood the ques-
tion, and thought they wanted TO know
whether she had poisoned the girl or not.
which of course she emphatically said she
did not do.
The statement was given in a straight
forward manner and without hesitation.
There is one peculiar thing about Annie
Wagner; when she fully understands the
questions asked her, she at once makes an
answer. and does so in way that makes
her listeners believe that she is telling the
truth.

and that he would say they were unnatur-
ally preserved. He did not know whether
they contained poison or not, but adj
mitted that there was a suspicious look
about them and that such might be the
case
Undertaken Fitzhugh. who has made a
careful study of the action of poison on
the human body, said that the stom achs
and intestines had that peculiar metallic
luster which is seldom seen except In
cases Of arsenical poison.
Annie Wagner, the girl who is accused
OF poisoning the five people, is still pris-
oneT, and so far no effort has been made
to secure her release. Her indifferent
manner is gone and her time is now spent
In crying and reading her little prayer
book which some of her friends gave her
a lew days ago. She has scarcely slept
any since her confinement and all night
long her PRAYERS and sobs can be heard
ali over the place. Her sorrow and con-
hnelnent is beginning TO tell ON her and
her friends say that she has changed con-
slderabiy since her arrest Turnkey Col
Inns, fearing that che would become seri-
ously Ill, sent physician in TO see her
yesterday morning and he reported that
her condition was good and he thought
there was no danger of her becoming i'll
enough to take TO her bed, She now
takes her meals regularly with apparent
relish. She still denies the charge
against her and tells exactly the same
story as the one on the day che was ar
rested

Strange and startling developments
were brought TO light in the Koesters
case last night and it is now a known fact
that the death of at least two members of
the family was caused by poison. 1t will
be remembered that on the morning of
Jan. 6. the thres-months-old baby was
found dead in bed. 1t was given out at
the time that death resulted from natural
causes and the child was buried without
an investigation being made by the coro-
ner. 1t nov turns out that the child was
undoubtedly poisoned. as arsenic was dis
covered in the stomach last night in sufIi.
cient quantities TO cause death.
When the stomach wasIsubmitted to DR..
Eisenbeiss yesterday afternoon for exami-
nation he at once took it to his Office and
began work. 1t had an unnatural appear
snce ana compared with the other por-
tions of the body was in an unusually
good state OF preservation, a fact which
led the physician TO suspect the presence
of arsenic. DR.. c. L. Barnes called while
the analysis was being made, and with
the aid of a microscope discovered the
unmistRkable traces of arsenic in the
child's stomach. In fact it was so plain
as TO be discetnible. The doctor is an
expert in this particular line and could
not have been mistaken. This leaves no
doubt in the minds OF tine physicians.
The Koesters family was poisoned by
someone, but whether Annie Wagner is
the guilty one or not is question for the
coroner and police to determine. Circum-
stantial evidence is certainly very strong
against her, yet there are many people in
Indianapolis who are inclined to believe
that she is innocent.

En- Route TO Richmond.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 29.-The train
bearing the remains of Jefferson Davis, en-
route to be reinterred at Richmond, arrived
here today and the body was coveyed to the
Alabama capitol building, where Mr.. Davis.
years ago, took the oath president The
scene today was memorable one.
Every window. balcony and sidewalk along
the route was thrOngeo. The capitol
was decorated outside with bayonet plant and
magnoliAs and inside with pro!usOn of flow
ers. The bells Of all the churches tolled as the
procession moved from the depot to the
capitol and again the return. Miss
Letitia Tyler, who raised the confederate
state flag over the capitol when Mr.. Davis was
inaugurated in Montgomery, Feb. Is, 1861, was
among those present She is daughter of ex-

THE BODIES ExHUMED.

Chemical Analysis to BE Made of the stom-
achs-Suspicious Indications.
About $50 o'clock yesterday morning
an unusual scene might have been wit
messed in the German catholic cemetery
which is situated about a mile south of the
Belt railroad on the Three Notch road. At
that hour Constable Cook, accompanied
by three colored grave diggers. entered the
cemetery for the purpose of exhuming the
bodies of four members of the koesters
family, all of whom are supposed to have
been poisoned by Annie Wagner. the
young German girl who is now a prisoner
in the county jail charged with the crime.
The men set immediately to work and
in a very short time the coffins were taken
from the graves and by the time Coroner
Beck, accompanied by Drs. Eisenbeiss,
Carey, Young, Ryer and Sphinx. Peter
Ohler, Undertaken Fitzhugh, Charles and
Frank Koesters and George Borst. the
druggist who sold the box of rough on
rats to Anna Wagner on Monday before
the crime was discovered, arrived. they
had all been removed and were resting
under the shadow of the little chapel.
The first coffin opened was that OF the
babe which was found dead in bed on the
morning of Jan. 6. The body was
much decomposed. and it was with tho ut
most difficulty that the autopsy was held.
The stomach and its contents were re-
moved and placed in jar brought along for
that purpose. The body OF Mary NJ. A. .Koes-
ters was next examined. She died Feb. 27.
II was found to be in terrible condition,
even worse than that of the babe. A
peculiar thing was noticed about this
BODY. While il was in q terribly decom-
posed condition the stomach was found TO
be in the best state OF preservation. This,
the physicians state, is evidence to show
| that the stomach may have contained
arsenic.
The bodies of Frank L. Koesters, aged
seventy.four, who died Jan. "a and Clara
| Koesters, were next examined. They
were found to be in about the same con-
/ dition as the others, with the exception of
the latter. Her body had been embalmed,
and the physicians were very careful so
as not to get any of the poisonous EN-
balming fluid mixed with the contents of
| the stomach. Each OF the four stomachs
were sealed up in glass jars and taken in
| charge by the coroner after which the
bodies were reburied, and the party left
| the cemetery.
The stomach OF the child was given TO
DR.. Eisenbeiss and he will analyse il as
soon as possible. He will then examine
the others and make his report as soon as
possible to the coroner.
In speaking Of the affair yesterday DIR.
| Eisenbsiss stated that the stomachs re-
| sembled those he had already snalysed

LONDON, May 29-Jim Hall met Frank
Slavn at the National sporting club to-
night for 3, 800 a side and purse of
$500, and knocked him out ia the seventh
round.
The fight was disappointment to the
spectators. SlaYin was the favOrite in the
betting up to the opening of the first
round. but from the beginning he made
poor showing. lie was com pietely out
generated st every point by Hall, and was
unable to offer even enough resistance to
make the contest exciting. When time
was called Slayin face wore peculiar,
dazed expression. He luTched heavily
twice as he left bis corner and was Gener-
ally unsteady in his gait. After spsrring
for few seconds he walked directly up
TO Hall. and was received with stagger-
ing right-hander, which almost hoored
him. Throughout the round be never
closed his glove. and when tims was called
went to his corner amid the Missing and
grOsning OF the spectators.
In the second round Savin showed no
improvement He lurched about stuUidly,
giving Hall several chances to hit him as
of his opportunities and the round closed
without any heavy work on either side.
The third round opened with some light
sparrng. In the middle of the round
Hall landed both right and left on his op
ponet's head, then gave him a stinger on
the Jaw and stood awav. The men then
fooled about the ring, missing repeatedly
when they came 10 close quarters. At the
end of the round the referee warned
them that If they did not fight there
would be no purse for them. The warning
had little effect.
The fourth round was ascrambling one.
Not single telling blow was struck and
the fooling of the previous round was re-
peated until the spectators hissed and
jeered.
The fifth round was somewhat better.
1t ended with Slavin going down from
right handler on the Jaw.
Nothing was accomplished by either OF
the men in the sixth round.
The seventh round had hardly opened
before Hail foored Slavin with his left
Slavin was soon up, but hearing some
body call time. he turned toward his cor
ner. Hall instantly shot out his right.
The blow landed sQuarely on Slavin's Jaw
and sent him down for good.

carried 10 his corner. disappointment
and dissatisfaction with the fight are gen.
orally expressed. SlaYin was seconded by
