FOOTBALL CHAT.

There Is now an excellent chance for
New Workers. to see the Princeton-Penn-
sylvania match played In this city. Mr..
John c. Bell telephoned from Philadel-
phia yesterday that no formal agree
ment had been made to play at the
State Fair Grounds, near Trenton, N.
j., as at first reported. Pennsylvania
drew such n large crowd of spectators
in this city last Fall that she is anxious
to play here again. and as Yale has
declined to meet the strong Quaker
team again after last years sad eX-
perience. this Is Pennsylvania's only
chance to get a match in this vicinity.
Princeton positively refuses to play in
Philadelphia this year. and Pennsyl-
vania does not ask IT, Both sides ad-
nit that a game at Trenton will not at
tract one-half the number that would
flock to see these two ancient foes
fight their nnual battle in the metropo-
lis. over 1000 saw Princeton narrow
ly beat Pennsylvania on the Mannheim
grounds, near Philadelphia last Novem-
ber. and fully as many would attend
a game at Manhattan Field, where
both teams are willing to play this sea-
nation of such a plan Is the assertion
that the Princeton Faculty objects to
the Tigers playing Pennsylvania in this
city. But as President Patton, Dean
Murray and other authorities at Prince
ton are entirely willing to have Prince
Day. doubtless the Faculty will yield
to the wishes of the teams and the
desires OF the patrons and admirers OF
the two institutions.

The novelty OF a telegraph operator
who can scarcely hear Il locomotive

sented at a telegraph station near this
city, says the Pittsburg Commercial.

COLORED LAD LYNCHED.
A Boy Who Killed Two Persons Hanged by
an Ohio Mob.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 12.--Roscoe Par
ker, the colored boy who four weeks ago
last Sunday night brutally murdered
the aged Mr.. Rhine and his wife, was
hanged by mob of citizens Of Win
chester and adjacent points in Adams
County at 10 o'clock last night about
four miles from Winch ester. The muir
der was for money, and only $40 was
obtained. Parker, the murderer, was
l6 years old and had worked for the old
couple. The boy confessed. Lynching
was threatened and Parker was taken
to Portsmouth for safe-keeping. Mean
time the spirit of vengeance did not
sleep. Secret organization was had.
1t was learned yesterday that Sheriff
Dunlap, on his way from Athens, would
bring Parker to Athens County for
a preliminary examination and would
keep him over night in the West
Union Jail. Messengers were sent
out and a band of 400 men met
at the Panhandle crossing and rode to
West Union. The mob forced the door
and soon had Parker and was on the
way toward Winchester. A rope was
around the lads neck. He rufused to
pray and was hanged after one or two
efforts by the somewhat unskillful exc
cutioners, who left him after firing sew
eral bullets into his body.
