SOMETHING is WRONG.
Another Case of More Votes Counted
Than POlIed.

The Election Commissioners found an
other state of things yesterday when they
started in canvassing the returns from the
Eighth Precinct of the Thiriy-frst Assem-
bly, District. a hastY examination Of the
tally-sheet5 showed that a number OF
votes more than were pOlled had been
counted for Sheriff and Clerk. A mouse
of this dimension was not hard to smell.
and it was decided that the canvass would
be postponed until some of the precinct
Ulcers were summoned and the particu-
lars investigated.
The list showed that 213 votes in all had
been cast, but the count for County Clerk
showed that go had been tailed, while for
Sheriff 224 had been counted. The vote
counted was: County Clerk-Curry 1872.
Haley 50, Van Guelpen Is, sea ttering 4;
for Sheriff - Archibald 6, McNab 81,
Ruddick 81. w helan 70. Maloney l.
P. T. Kelly. George f. Poulsen and Tom
Dougherty, election officers, were sum-
mOned, and their examination took UP
most of the afterno on. Each witness
testified that he knew nothing about the
matter, that be had only Tailed as the
votes were called out by Murphy and
Kelly, the Democratic and Republican
judges, and that they had nothing TO do
themselves with the tally-sheets.
An order was made by the Commits
sioners that the two judges be brought
into court this morning, when their eX-
plantations viii be heard.

A FOOTBALL GEAR
How Players Practice in
the East.
An Apparatus Which VIII Answer
the Purpose of Kicker and Can
Be Used Indoors.

Football players east Of the big mountains
are at all times experimenting for something
new in the way Of apparatus for training pur-
poses.
This year decidedly novel methods have been
intro duced for the purpose OF strengthening the
muscles of the neck and arms In tackling
OF course, everybody knows thai the object
of tackIing is to bring down the man who is
running with the ball. Not only must he be
downed. however, but he must be downed in
his tracks. Anybody can grab runner wher-
ever he can get hold and eventually bring him
to the ground. But il the runner can run five
yards after the tackler just gets hold of him,
there is little object In stopping him al all. For
IL the side having the ball can gain five yards
on every rush, IL can hold the ball indefinitely
and eventually make touchdown. In fact If
five yards are gained IN every three rushes, the
side having tile ball still retains possession.
1t follows therefore, that when tackler lays
hold on a runner he must down him In his
tracks. Various expedients have been tried to
drill tacklers TO perfection In this work. The
chances that ordinarily come TO any individual
in big game are not numerous enough 20 give
the requisite practice. For that reason foot
ball coacners in tue big coleg 5 SET 10 work TO
get some machine which could supply the place
of the man running with the ball. AT first the
scheme adopted was actually to take some
player and set him TO running while the tackler
chased after him and threw him. Obviously
this was too hard on the poor fellow who had
TO submit TO being tackled

LAND DIDN'T PAY.
Failure of the Brothers
Frisbie.
They Purchased Big Tract in Ore.
gon From Senator FELTON, and
Then Defauited.

The failure is announced OF E. G. and W. B.
Frisbie, two brothers, who filed their petitions
In the insolvency court yesterday. Both fall
ures are for nearly the same amount, and has
been brought about by the same cause.
The petition of Z. q. Frisbie, described as a
medical prscti Toner. ascribes no reason for the
failure. The debtor places his liabilities at
S64. ia 43. made up Of two Items only Ex-
Senator Charles N. FELTON, appears as a creditor

Senator's favor May l6. 1885. The law firm of

The petition of the brother n. B. Frisbie,
described as law SUDDEN, is almost precisely
similar. Senator Feo claims sos, 314 43 on
similar Judgment. and Reddy, Campbell q
Nelson $500 on similar noie, while there is

The personal property amounts o $40, and
consists of books worth S25, clothes $50 and a
bay colt valued at $50.
The cause OF the failure of the brothers
Frsbie is extremely simple. Some years ago
they went into a land speculation 10 Oregon,
ana purchased big tract of land from Senator
FELTON,. They gave the Senator mort gage on
the pro erty, but as the speculation turned out
a failure and the Interest was not forthcoming,
Senator FELTON, foreclOsed ana The amount now
claimed by him is for he deficiency between
the amount of his original claim ana the price
for which the land was sold.
Reddy Campbell s. Metson were the attOr-
neys who transacted all the business, and their
claims are for attorneys fees.

a machine has been invented which gives just
the necessary practice TO the tackler put In
wolves no injury to anybody.
The tackling machine provides TO give men
practice In overcoming momentum by its
weight. IL a tackler can abruptly stop 200
pounds when swinging back and forth he Is
pretty sure to be able to down a half
back who weighs no more than $50 or 100
pounds.
There are in all four different quarters from
which a tackler can down his man. He can
catch him straight in front as he charges down
the field; be can down him before he gets
started, or get him from the side or close in on
The hardest and most dangerous mode is
taekling straight in front. This is not often
done If the runner Is going at full speed. The
tackltng machine affords DO means OF training
for this. The 200 pounds of wool closely
packed would be liable TO Injure a tackle Sc
verely. For that reason taekling the dummy
directly In front is not attempted.
But there Is good opportunity TO get the prac.
tice of downing runner in his tracks. The
dummy Is left hanging perfectly still; the tick.
Ter makes dive for 1t, catching 1t low, well be.
low the projecting shoulder. An attendant
who has hold of the rope by which the dummy
hangs lets the rope go loose. and the tackler
this is not so satisfactory as 1t would be to
tackle an actual man, for the man would make
struggle. But the dummy weighs enough
more Than halfback, so that the mere resist
ance OF weight makes 1t difficult to throw the
dummy.
Training in tacklng for the side Is also easy
W oDtdlu' L nc mummy is set 10 Swinging IN

until he brings ii to a standstill. The more
quickly be does this, the better is considered
his tackle.
The only other mode of tackling is to catch
the runner from behind. For this the dummy
swings back and forth directly toward the
tackle, instead of across HIS path. He lets
the machine swing toward him, and as il goes

his own body on the ground, III order to over

on The whole, the most satisfactory test that
can be had from the tackling machine.

NOBODY WANTS HIM,
Carson's Vain Effort to Break Into a
Penitentiary.

CHICAGO. Nov. 26.-It now appears that
the efforts of Samuel Carson to break into
the penitentiary at Jefferson City, Mo-.
may prove futile. Although he surren-
dered to the authorities last Friday night.
and the penitentiary authorities were mott
fed, Carson is still at the Harrson-street
station and the officials at Jefferson City
show no disposition to call and collect one
escaped convict.
1t will be remem bered that Carson gave
himself up. stating that he had escaped
fifteen years ago from Jefferson City and
had been so haunted By fear Of arrest that
he decided to surrender. Carson refused
to leave the station and seems quite wor-
rled because he has not been sent for.

Fees.

Fees.

investigate the charge brought by the Gen.
tral Labor Union against United States
Judge Augustus J. Kicks. began its inquiry
here to-day. The subcommittee consists
of Representatives Joseph t. Bailey of
Texas, chairman; Edward Lane of Hi
nois and Charles Broderick of Kansas.
The charge made against Judge Kicks is.
in brief, that while acting in the capacity
OF special examiner in some forty patent
cases he failed t. turn over about $500 in
fees belonging to the Government. II is
alleged that after Ricks was appointed
United States Judge he approved his
own accounts as special examiner in the Sc
cases.

Green for the prosecution, who read the
charge made by the labor union. Hon.
Virgil p. Kline replied for the defendant
at length. He stated that Judge Kicks
had, in 1898, made full report of the
matter at issue aud had received assurance
from the Department of Justice
that bis statement was satisfactory
and his accounts correct. Hon.
Arnold Green, for the prosecution. ad.
mitted that Judge Kicks had rendered his
report as stated. but that he did not do SO
until ten years after the fees had
been collected. He charged that Judge
Kicks had only made his corrected
report, and RENTED the fees al
that late time to avoid any possible
scandal. He said that Judge Kicks had
received information in 1893 warning him
that the matter would be investigated, and
that his supplemental report was made
under his pressure to cover any discrepan-
cies which might exist
