Charlottesville, Oct. 17.-TomorrOw the
University OF Virginia will meet the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania on Franklin Field.
The virginia team last year was second
to none in this part of the country. 1t was
one OF the only two college teams that were
able to score on the University of Pennsyl-
vania-
The game which won the yirginians their
title TO the championship was that with
the University of North Carolina, played
on Thanksgiving Day. When Virginia met
Princeton week ago In Baltimore she was
beaten SO TO o, there being only ore old
ma n on the team, the rest being substitutes
or new players. The reason for this was the
slow return of last years players TO the
university.
The only old player who lined up against
Princeton was Penton, the famous guard,
Since that game, however, Taylor. Mudd
and Birmingham have returned and have
been getting into shape fast, and Will un
dOubtediy play in Saturdays game. Fen
ton is the captain OF the team, and has the
reputation of being one OF the best guards
now wearing the canvas and moleskin.
Back of the lire virginia is very strong in
her pair OF backs, Jones and DrOner In
tue line on the other side of the ball from
Pcnton is big Poiudcxtcr, who is very
much the same type of man as Wharton, OF
the Pennsylvania eleven He is similar both
in size and build. For the position back
OF the center rush the Virginia team has
Horton, the champion gymnast OF the south,
who is a clean Irisser and an excellent
tackler.
This will he the first game that the Viz
ginias have ever played In Philadelphia.
and they will endcavor TO make good
impression there by putting up the best
football they are capable OF playing.

Supposed TO Have Caused "a Wreck on
Long Island.
New York, Oct. lS.-A construction train
on the Montauk extension of the Long
Island Railroad was wrecked at Napcaque
Beach, three miles east of Amagansctt
yesterday. Six men were injured, two OF
them probably fatally. The list is:
Harry Rhodes, conductor, badly cut about
face and body; Patrick Collins, of East
port 4 water boy, terribly cut about the
body-it is believed he will die. Charles
Bennett, a carpenter, skull fractured; Thom-
as Bennett, Il carpenter, Harry Payne,
fireman, and a. James, an Italian. They
were all cut and bruised:
There was Il car loaded with rails stand
ing on side track, and the caboosc of
the construction train struck and upset
il when tie collision occurred. The acc.-
dent was caused by an open switch, which,
il is supposed, was disarranged by one OF
the Italian woTkmeD emplc ycd on the
new extension in a spirit of revenge.
A riot occurred at Napcaque Beach on
Tuesday when the pay car arrived. 1t is
said the men did not receive their wages
and threw stones at the car. Several shots
were fired by angry workmcn at the rail-
road officials.
Since then threats have been heard. and
il was feared the men would commit some
violence out of revenge for their alleged
wrongs.

DIDN'T BELIEVE IN WITCHES
Old Woman Accused Of Witchcraft
Is Maltreated and 0stracised.
She Appeals to the La W, and Jury,
Which Was Not Snperstifi0us,
Gives Her 5000.

Pittsburg, Oct. 1s.-Mrs. IreDa Oles, an
alleged WITCH OF Washington, Pa, pleaded
for relief from public ostracisn in COM
mon pleas No. court yesterday afternoon.
She is sixty years OF age, and supported
herself and daughter by nursing the sick
and selling home remedies. She lives in
a neighborhOod filled with superstitious
people. Among these is family named
Newman, which has Il boy fourteen years
old. In November, 1888, he was seized
by peculiar nervous maiady. He be-
came delirious, and in his deliriun he re-
pcatedly told them to keep Mrs. Olcs
away; that she had put something in his
mouth.
Neighbors heard these remarks and, see
ing the boys condition. rumors began to
circulate that he was under the evil spell
of the Oles woman. DR.. Irwin, the fam
lily physician, pronounced the boys condi-
ton the result OF serious nervous shock.
He might have been frightened by Mrs.
o!es. A local newspaper took the matter
up and published SO much about il that
Mrs. Oles was stoned and bumiiiated by
her neigbbors. She was pointed out as
witch. People refused her services rs Il
nurse: She WAS driven from house to house
and practically forced 10 hermitage.
She sued for damages. During the trial
the boys father and mother testified that
Mrs OIcs had been al their house just be
fore his illness, and that the boy had aided
her down the steps and part OF tie way
home. On The contrary, Mrs. Olcs testified
that she had never met the boy, never had
been escorted aDyv here by him and had
never treated him. Mrs. Oics told her
story in such SYM athletic way That the
Jury gave her n verdict for $500.
During the boys illness much excite
mcnt prevailed. One person cane to Pitts
burg TO find n cure for the alleged be
witched boy Shortly after he recovered.
The peculiaritieS Of his afflict ion, which
We're alleged 10 be the barking like dog
and new ing like cat, disappeared, and
he became apparently well. These re-
suits were said to lave been accomplished

ute detail have now been completed for the

Ness Park tomorrow, and Il big Gro wd, and
splendid racing is looked for.
There have been no changes made in the
way of officers or other important details
from those published by The Times on
Wednesday. The races will be run off III
the order then given.
The handicaps in the two-miie race and
the half-mile race were arranged this
morning. In the two-mle race they are as
follows:

yards; e T.. Smith, 30 yards; c. j. Ronsa-
vile, 10 yards; &. s. Ball, no yards;

Fred Scbade gets a pretty stiff task in
both of these events, blt his riding recently
iustifies it, and he does not complain. His
trial at the track yesterday indicates that he
can Ia he up the handicap with a very fair
show for winning In both.
There is renew ed interest felt in the
one mile paced race for the track record,
since il las become known that many Of
the very hest riders in the District have
gone into it. Among these are schade,
Wood, Smith and Claggctt. Schadc's
friends seem 10 think he has cinch on Ibis
event, but the friends of the other entries
named are confident he will be given
merry chase for the honor.

entries. and they are SO divided that there
Will be good field Of starters in each race.

Decided Incompetency.


Chicago, Oct 1S.-Prof. Albion W. Small,
professor of sociology and Prof. Nathaniel
-Butlcr, director of the university extension
department of the University Of Chicago,
are ont in a letter indOrsed by President
Harper, replying to the charge OF Prof.
Benis, that the freedom OF teachers in the
university is bampered by the influence OF
wealthy bcnefactors of the university.
The charge is denied in toto. No ohiec-
ton TO Prof. Bcniis' teachings III the uni
vershy, 1t is said, was ever made or dis
cussed.
He was only requested 10 exercise care
in his statements made in an outside capac-
ity before q miscellaneous audience at 4
time when agitation was deemed impru-
dent.
The real ground for Prof. Bemis' removal
was that the university extension work, in
which he was engaged, fell off SO as TO be
unprofitablr, and. 1t is alleged, that this
was due to Prof. Bens' incompetency as
lecturer. The university offered TO retain
Prof Bcmis as Il lecturer If he would as
sumo the financial responsibility.

When "Blnck America comes to Con-

Mr.. Salisbury many weeks to get the people
together, and almost every city in the
South, commencing with Washington, was
invaded. In Richmond party of about
forty had been engaged. but they post
poned their departure because they wanted
to attend cake walk. Their railroad
tickets had been purchased and everything
arranged. But the darkies declared the
cake walk was of more Importance than
all the shows in New York.
Nevertheless they gave up their cake
walk and went To New York. Why they
did so didn't leak out until they arrived
North and told n wonderful tale about
rabbits foot which the agent who con-
tracted for them had used with persuasive
effect. 1t is a fact that q Southern
darkey has about as much fear for
