PORT DEPOSIT. October, 25, 1895.
The football season was opened here on
Saturday last by game between the Tome
Institute eleven and the Baltimore CITY Col
lege reserves. The visitors showed the
effect of better pra:tce and experience and
won after Il closely contested game. Con-
sidering the fact that the Tome Institute bows
had never been able to secure men enough
for two elevens in practice, the showing
made was creditable. The team should make
an excellent record before the season closes
The marked feature of the game was the
gentlemanly conduct and style of play of
the two elevens. The rowdyish bulldozing
exhibitions characteristic of visiting teams of
last year were entirely absent. City Colleges
touchdown was made after four minutes of
play. Tome won the toss and chose goal
giving c. C. the ball. Tome fumbled wretch
edly, allowing G. c. to secure the ball. After
few downs Wagner broke through and
touched the ball behind Tones goal posts
Tagg kicked goal. After this Tones playinp
improved considerably and they held their
opponents in the center of the field The
lineup was as follows:

DISAPPOINTED In LOVE.
A Young Farmer Attempts to End His
Life at Calvert.

Earl Reynolds, aged about 25 years, son of
Granville Reynolds, a prominent farmer
residing at Calvert this county, attempted to
end his life early Monday morning, by shoot
ing himself with a pistol. The ball entered
near the heart, and the physicians in attend
ance, Drs Slicer and Richardson fear fatal
results. He gave as the cause of his act that
he was tired of living. He had been attentive
to young lady who had recently transferred
her affections to another young man, and it
is thought that this caused Reynolds de-
spondency.
The ball struck rib and passed through
one lung and lodged in his breast. He seems
to be paralyzed, not being able to move his
body except his hands. He shot himself once
and was preparing to shoot again when his
sister hearing the first shot rushed to his
room and grabbed the pistol as he was about
to fire again, and threw it out the window

AVENGED A MURDER.
The Negroes Had Killed a Young
White Farmer.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April GA man
who arrived at o'clock last night
from Greenville, Ala. 40 miles south of
here reports that five negroes were
lynched near there Saturday night.
just before his train left Greenville
the sheriff of the county came into
town and reported that in passing
Buckalow plantation, miles from
town, he had found the five negroes,
three men and two women, hanging
by their necks to some trees, their
bodies cold, evidently having been
dead for some hours.
Saturday night news reached Green
vile of the brutal murder, near But
Ter, in that county, of Watts Murphy,
popular young white man, by the
negroes. Murphy was a prominent
young farmer, being nephew of the
late Gov. Watts, of this city. After
numbering him the negroes placed his
body in a brush heap and burned
the heap. The debris was ex-
amined and the teeth, liver and
heart of the victim were found.
The balance of the body had been con-
sumed. An investigation was insti-
tuted. Three negroes were arrested.
Finally Yesterday one of the negroes
gave way and confessed the crime, i'm
plicating two other negro men and
two women. The officers secured and
were closely guarding the prisoners
when last heard of Saturday night.
The report last night does not give the
details of how the mob secured the
murderers. except that they were taken
by force. A telegram from GreenYille
confirms the story.

BROOKLYN, April 22.-As the outcome
of feud, a battle was fought in the
Eastern district and two men are in
the Eastern district hospital fatally in
jured and seven others are under ar
rest. A girl was also shot during the
fight. The men are all Italians and
the feud has been of two months
standing. About two months ago,
John Orse1lo, aged 3S years,
heard that scandalous stories were
being circulated about his wife and
daughter by Car1nino Sossa. Orsello
secured last night Winchester rifle
and started out after his wife's SLAM
derer. He found him sitting near the
window of his home on North Second
street and fred. The bullet struck
Sossa in the left arm. A number of
Sossa's friends in the house came to
his aid, armed with pistols and guns.
A fusillade followed and one of Sossa's
friends, Luigi Deprisco, % years
old, received bullet in his
body from Orsello's rifle or from
a pistol in the hands of one of the
others, who had followed. Sossa was
again shot in the abdomen, but by
whom is not known. In the midst of
the shooting Annie Decker, 10 years
old, passed by and bullet struck her,
passing through her thigh. Sossa and
Deprisco, who were removed to the
Eastern district hospital, are believed
to be fatally injured, and Coroner

! ANTITRUST LAW A MOCKERX.

The Meat Combine Stronger Than the Gov
ernment-ConcIusiOns of the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The interest
Secretary Morton has shown in the ad-
vance of meat prices is spreading to
the other mem bers of the cabinet. The
president and Mr. Morton have had
several conferences on the subject.
Saturdays cabinet meeting was de-
voted almost wholly to it. Attor-
.fuey-General Olney expressed serious
doubts whether any case made
out under the antitrust law would
stand the tests of the courts. In this
opinion he was joined by Secretary
I Carlisle. Both these officials stated
that the law was so loosely drawn as
to be practically va1ueless for the pur-
poses intended. Postmaster-General
Wilson, who was a member of the ju-
dietary committee at the time the bill
was under discussion in the house,
stated that Judge Culberson then pro-
nounced it worthless, but that owing
to the fact that the session was about
to close, amendment was impossible.

meat sold to consumers through their
own agencies in large cities. They
also control to a very great extent the
means of transportation through their
ownership of refrigerator cars,
in which carcasses are carried
from the Strengthening houses
to the markets. From the sta
tistics gathered by the secretary
of agriculture there is reason to be-
4ieve that gross discrimination is prac-
ticed by transportation companies
against small dealers and in favor of
localities and the large shippers. The
question was discussed at the cabinet
meeting whether proceedings to break
the com bination should not properly
begin through the medium of the in
terstate commerce commission, in the
nature of q suit for infractions of the
interstate commerce law.
kilograms from Chicago indicate
that the packers are becoming alarmed
over the situation against their COM
bination, and have made an arbitrary
reduction in the price of cattle on the
hoef, giving as their excuse that an
enforced reduction in the price of
dressed meat, due to the action of the
agricultural department, compels them
to pay lower prices for cattle at the
stock yards.
