Newark. N. j.. October 16-The following
was given out today: cat meeting today
of-the executive committee of the Princeton
club of Newark, one of the largest of the
alumni associations of Princeton, it was
unanimously the opinion that the time has
come when Princeton should assert her in
dependence in the face of the effort which
Yale and her supporters are making to die
tate to Princeton the champion team of
1888. when, where and under what condi-
tions 1t should play the annual game with
Yale. 1t was the unanimous opinion of the
committee tand the committee firmly be-
lieves it's opinion is the exact expression of
the sentiments of all Princeton men in this
locality that the efforts of Yale to abandon
the Thanksgiving day, the day which has
become historic in football annals. is a
niece of impertinence and assurance not to
be tolerated tor.a single instant by Prince

Augusta. October 16.-The Governor
and Council met in the council chamber
at the State House this afternoon, at
O'Clock, there being present Governor
Cleaves, and Councillor Simpson, King,
Clark, Harrington, Downe, Atwood and
Pettengill. All the routine business was
transacted. 1t was voted that the elect
ion returns be opened and examined
during the present week by the COM
mittee on elections, Messrs. Pettengill,
Clark and Downes. These returns, with
the exception of those for governor, are
opened every state election by commit
tee of the executive council, who are ap-
pointed by the governor. The returns for
the gubernatorial candidates are opened
by each legislature.
A petition for the pardon of William
Cafran of Sanford, who is in the state
prison for forgery, was brought before
the meeting. The petition is based on
the ground that his service in jail before
he was indicted by the grand jury, was
su tGcient punishment. A petition was
also broug mtg before tine meeting for the
pardon of James D. Goodwin, who is
serving a sentence in Bangor Jail for
burglary. Goodwin has consumption
and will not hive. Both of these cases
were referred to the committee on par
dons.

SPLENDID SEA BOAT.
The Maine Given Warming up Spin
Yesterday,


New London, October 16.--In the face of
a southerly gale that made all coasting
vessels within reach of this port scurry to
an anchorage here under well shortened
sail the battleship Maine went ont for a
warming up spin this afternoon. The
engine trial board took data of the perform
ance of the machinery to famillarize the
members with the duties of their stations,
and the main purpose of the run was to see
that everything worked smoothly in view
of the latest changes in adjustments. The
tests made indicate that in general way
the probability that the results of the
official trial will be satisfactory to the con-
tractors from pecuniary point OF view,
and gratifying to the Navy Department in
he capacity of the machinery supplied by
the sQuintard Iron Works. The ship left her
anchorage and proceeded out into the
Sound about two, under easy steam heading
the westward into the teeth of an .eveI-in-
creasing sssblow, and went ahead at great
speed. The brisk wind blew the spray in
clouds over the vessel. A turn was made at
the lightship, and she came back before the
wind and in little more than an hour Was
anchored again off Pequoit landing. Even
in the lumpy water kicked up by the gale
the Maine was steady as was remarked of
hel on the previous trips and also noted
and spoken of by the members of the board
busy below decks. Unofficial tests on this
trip at three ten minute periods showed 124
revolutions of the propellers per minute,
and 145 pounds of steam pressure and both
averaged approximately. This result is
seemingly satisfactory to the members of
the board, who, however, only expressed
themselves pleased at the outlook for the
real trial Commodore George W. Melville.
the chief engineer of the Navy Department,
gave scant attention to the scene on deck,
and soon went below to see what was going
on in the heart of the ship. His tour
through the engine room was punctuated
with inquiries which showed his interest in
the work. President Triggs of the Rich
mond locomotive works, and other. guests of
the Quintard and Palmer were on board as
interested onlookers Chief Melville expects
to go out on the official trial tomorrow, and
will probably have look over the torpedo
boat Erisson.

A LAMP EXPLODED
And Caused Fire that Destroyed
Half Million.

Several Lives Were Lost in the Flames-A
Catholic institution Burned Out-Sis,
ters and Invalids Perished
Huston, Tex, October 16.--Early this
morning fire was dicovered in the
San Jacinto boarding house on Frank.
lin and Jacinto streets. Before the
flames were gotten under control, two
lives, and possibly four. were lost, and
$500, 900 worth of property destroyed.
The flames quickly spread to St. Joseph's
Catholic Infrmary on franklin avenue,
despite the. efforts of the fireman, and
the building WAS totally destroyed. Two
sisters of the institute, named Jane and
Drodel, pe-ished in the burning build
ing. two Patterns lying in. the upper
story of the dormitory, are missing, and
is feared they were burned to death.
Another sister named Clothilde was
frightfu1lyE burned about the head and
shoulders, but it is believed she will
recover. From St. Joseph g Infirmary the
flames spread TO Alexander's lodging
house, and thence to adjoining stores.
The fire lasted from 2.45 until 4.30. and
in that time over dozen buildings were
destroyed. The following is partial lisl
of the losses: st. Joseph's Intirmary.

losses will bring the aggregate up to
half million. This is partially covered
by insurance, but the exact amount can
not be learned. The. origin of the sre is
supposed to. be due to the explosion of an
oil lamp. =

Haverhill, Mass, October 16.-This after
noon about O'clock, Alfred A. Ordway of
the committee on buildings, found dyna-
mite bomb of large size under the urcoin-
pleted Pentucket club house. The bomb
was placed under Handsome portico re-
Gently finished, and was of such a pattern
that any forcaful contact with other objects
would cause an explosion. Mr.. Ordway
threw the bomb into the river. Who placed
the bomb in position or with what motive
is mystery. The police will investigate
the matter.
