 |, THE YALE-HARvARD GAME.
 The New York Evening Sun of yester- day sums up as follows concerning the coming big game: The event of the week is, of course, the Harvard-Yale game. which is played at Springfield on Satur- day Not for many years has such an uncertainty in regard to the result of the contest existed. Though there are many who declare that Yale is going to win, the experts have been very careful to make no prophecy.
 The reason for this uncertainty is that no one except Harvard herself knows just what Harvard can do. She started out the season with the manifest inten- ton ofskeeping her prowess from the public, and she has fully succeeded in doing so. In her practice game she has shaken up her eleven so assiduously that the Yale men have beeen unable to get a single line on her.
 This naturally discomforts the blue, for she does not know what she is going to meet. The Yale eleven Is not satis- factory to the coaches DeWitt's and Greenway's forced retirement from half back and right end, respectively, have weakened the eleven appreciab1y. Jer- rems, who will take DeWitt's place, is by no means his predecessors equal, either in offensive or defensive play. while young Hinkey, who Is slated for Ereenway's place. is hardly ftted for

TRACED TO THE OYSTERS.
What Secretary indsiey Says About the Fever Cases in Middle.Own,

What Secretary indsiey Says About the Fever Cases in Middleton
 Dr. c: A. Lindsley, secretary of the
 state board of health, in an interview
 last evening, stated that he was satis- fled beyond any doubt that the typhoid
 fever epidemic at Wesleyan was caused by raw oysters eaten at the banquet
 in Middletown, October 12.
 He has personally examined the prem
 ises in the vicinity of Mansfield & Sons
 oyster beds and Health Officer Wright
 has also. They found that the beds
 where the oysters are fattened are sur-
 rounded by unsanitary conditions.
 Dr. Lindsley is now making experi-
 ments on some of the oysters and will
 make known the result in about week, On the night of October 12 there were
 six society banquets held by Wesleyan students in Middletown. At three of
 them oysters were served on the half shell and raw. At the three others the oysters served were cooked.
 The oysters used at the three ban quets where they were served raw were, it appears, sold by F. Mans field & Sons. The cases of typhoid fever at Wes- leyan have all been among these stu dents who attended the banquets where F. Mansfield & Sons oysters were eaten raw. This has been carefully investigated
 F. Mansfield & Sons. among others
 bring their oysters up the river and put them in the fresh water. The firm states that it is fully 300 feet from the outlet of their private house
 sewer to the spot where they put their oysters to fatten. Dr. Lindsley
 states that he should not think it to
 be over 300 feet, but that that is i'm material, and that if the distance was 1000 feet the conditions would not be
 better, owing to the fact that the tide
 rushes up and down and would carry
 any germs or poisonous matter to the
 oysters.
 Oysters were taken from this same
 place, and are now being carefully ex- amined by bacteriologist at Yale: The. result is awaited with considera-
 ble interest, but Dr. T,indsley states that the board of health simply expects that
 this part of the investigation will sim ply bear out the conclusion to which 1t has already arrived namely. that the typhoid fever germs were trans- mitted from the house where two cases existed k through the comparatively short drain pipe to the oysters, which lay in the water not far away. He states that the oysters would quickly receive these germs.

Varsity playing. But Yale could. per haps, overcome this loss were it not for her weak center. That Is the point which is really bothering the coaches. McCrea. stillman and Hickok, all Of them did badly last year. At the be- ginning of this season 1t was decided that they would have to go. But no new material could be found, and for that reason they have been retained.
 Though more attention has been de- voted to them than to any other mem- bers of the eleven, 1t is admitted that they have improved but little. Still mans failure to do better is easily ac- counted for by the fact that he was never cut out for that position. With McCrea and Hickok. however. the case is different.
 Both of them, and McCrea In par ticular, have demonstrated that they can play football If they only will. The trouble Is that when they are not hard pushed. they will not play to the full extent of their ability. Thus much valuable ground is lost to Yale. Generally speaking. so far as 1t Is possible to judge, from what little has been seen of Harvard's real work, Yale will be stronger back of the line, es- pecially at full back, while Harvard will have the better line. The experts all agree on one thing, that whichever team wins 1t will win only by narrow margin.
 Word comes from Princeton that Ward has now taken Poe's place al | quarter back. This should prove ad. vantageous to the Tigers. Aside from the lamentable weakness of their full back at the Trenton game there was no position in which they were so weak as in that of quarter back. | Poe passed wildly, even at short range and when a long pass was required he was absolutely unequal to the occa. sion.
 | Princeton should also find substitute for Cochrane, her full back.

 Meriden, Nov. 19.-County Commis- sioners John l.. Lindley, James ,Rey- holds and A. B. Durham came up from New Haven on the 1o:4O train this morning and held a session in the town clerks office for the purpose of grant ing licenses. They adjourned for din- ner at 12:30, having granted seventeen licenses -
 The price this year is $500 for liquor and $200 for beer licenses, the bill being the same for old and new applicants. For a number of years new applicants have had to pay $100 more for their first years license than those who had been in business one year or longer. This year the commissioners decided to make the licenses uniform in that particular.
 Prosecuting Agent Danaher sat with the commissioners, and Town Clerk Hess also assisted. The commissioners returned to New Haven on the 2:56 train. They Will be here again next Monday.

BEEFING ABOUT BEEF,

During one of the breathing spells at the
Union Stock yards yesterday number of
commission men, buvers and butchers.
brought up the question OF Swift shipping
dressed beef to WichitS from st. Louis.
The dressed beef dealers of this city were
rather warm about the butchers buying
of Swift, but the butchers thought that
they should not be blamed for buying at
the lowest prices. Tue wholesalers on
the oiber hand claimed that they
have been selling at as low price
As auyons could without los
ing mouey, and they proceeded to
demonstrate that Swift was losiag money
with the hope of making n corner on the
market by driving out local competition.
In answer to this the butchers asserted
that they could 90 TO the country, buy
c.trie. slaughter them, aud undersell
Swift In case he should attempt TO force
nriees. Those of this view claimed that
Swift'S coolers We're over-packed aud this
was merely means of emptying them,
and that when that was once done Swift
wouid be seen no more
Tne general opinion was that the action
was detrimental to Wichita and some sng-
eested placing n license on foreign beef
brought to the city while others laid it to
the butchers ana said that the butchers
will have 10 take care or the packing
house, here, who must Kill some beef, will
star, retail shops down town IN order u
sell their beef cheaper than Swift's beef
can be sold.

GEORGE W. MARTIN IN Town.

Hon. George W. Martin of Kansas City,
Kan. candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation of governor, spent several hours in
the city yesterday circulating around
among our people. He would not consent
10 an interview for the benefit of the
EAGLES readers, at least he showed dis
inclination TO talk politics. but for man
whose history and sentiments are SO
familiar to the people Of Kansas q general
talk wou ID have had no particular signifi-
canoe. His whole life has been spent in
interior Kansas and he knows the convic-
lions and desires of her people as well AS
any citizen OF the state, private or public.
Mr. Martin Is not only man OF very
pronounced convictions but one who has
the courage to act as he believes. In
speaking OF his candidacy and chances he
talked not only with confidence but enthu-
siasm. His own county. with the largest
delegation in the state, goes to Topeka
solid for him.

Another called meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held last night with Mayor Cox in
the chair, and all the councilmen present
except Mellinger.
After roll call Mayor Cox presented the
following veto:
To the Honorable Council OF the City of Wichita:
/ herewith express my objections TO the
contract awarded by you To K b. kepley
al our last meeting on March 70, 1884 for
the building OF permanent sidewalks as
provided in Ordinance No 1223 The
statute In such cases providing for the
making of improvements which amount
to 500 that the city clerk shall advertise
for competitive bidding and receive sealed
bids for said improvements. In this case
sealed bids were received but X. p. kepley,
to whom you awarded the contract bid
separately. One bid being at 1874 cents
per square foot on Main and Market
streets for vitritied brick and $40 cents
per square foot for hard burned brick for
the sidewalks on Douglas avenue and
Williams street. The contract as awarded
was for the construction OF all OF the side
walk at 10 cents per square foot, when
IN fact X. Is. kepley did not have any bid
at ) $40 cents per square foot Tor the con-
sf-uctiou of the walks on Main aud Mar
ket streets, but he made an oral bid IN
council for said walks on Main and Mar
keG streets at $40 cents per square foot.
vide that said bids must be received at the
clerks Office on or before ) O'Clock p. N. OF
Monday. the 26t b day of March. 1894 All
the other bidders were required To have
their bids in at that time. Now IL this
contract is awarded to Il. b. kepley at
$40 cents per square foot IL is either done
without his having a bid at said price
upon Main and Market streets or else it is
permitting him to orally bid after the
time for receiving sealed bids was closed.
This, il seems TO me, is not in strick COM
pliance with the law governing such eases
and for said reasons / cannot approve said
contract but will refrain from signing the
same and hereby enter my veto to the
same Most respectfully yours,
l.. NJ. Cox. Mayor.
On motion OF johnson the veto was sus-
tanned unanimously.
The mayor asked the further pleasure
of the council, and Councilman
johnson moved that the clerk
be instructed 10 advertise for bids for
stone, cement, vitrified brick for all uu-
finished sidewalks. After some contro-
versy as to what brick should be used, the
particular kind of stone aud cement, etc,
the motion was adopted.
