 Shortly before o'clock last evening Anderson R. Lamburth, M.

 When the car reached the corner of Baldwin street Lamburth, without mo- tifying the motorman to stop the car, jumped from 1t while it was in motion. Tn jumping he slipped in the mud and in order to save himself from falling he put out his right hand. Unfortunately forhim he placed his hands justzover the rail and immediately in front of the car wheel. Y.e
 The accident occurred in less than a second and it was impossible to stop the car, and the wheels passed over Lam burth's right wrist, cutting it so that the hand hung only by shreds to the arm.

4 FINE IMPROVEMENT
Tn East Rock Park-The Hickory Grove
 Trimmed Out.

Tn East Rock Park-The Hickory Grove
 Trimmed Out.
 A very pretty improvement has been recently completed at East Rock park, which will be appreciated by all lovers of nature. During the last decade or two grove of hickory trees has sprung up on the north side of the hill leading to the Downer place in Hamden, but owing to the scrubby appearance of the young trees the grove has been rather unsightly but Superintendent Beebe of the park has recently trimmed out all the lower branches and carried away the underbrush so that now the grove presents very attractive appear ance and will continue to be more and more an ornament to the park It is certainly very creditable piece of work. One of our public spirited towns men offered a short time ago, if per- mitted, to have this handsome grove trimmed at his own expense, but Su- perintendent Beebe has anticipated his desire for this nice improvement.

OBITU4RY.
Death of Mrs. Samuel Betts.

Mrs Harriet Butrick Betts, aged seventy-four, wife of Samuel Betts and mother of Insurance Commissioner-elect Fred A. Betts died at her home, No. S5 Greene street, yesterday, All that the best medical skill and loving affection could do to prolong her life were un- availing. She was a most estimable wife and mother--a wife and mother beloved, and was a devoted and con sistent member of the First Baptist church, of which church she had been for many years a member and when strength permitted she was very active in good works. Peculiarly touching also is the sad fact that her husband is an invalid unable to leave the house owing to a paralytic shock The de- ceased leaves two sons, r. A. Betts and Samuel D. Bette, the3latt clerk with Spencer & Mat iheWs.

REPUBLICAN CLEAN SWEEP.
ALL THE OANDIDATES IN PHILA-
 DELPHIA WEKE ELECTED.

They Received Greater Majority Than Ever Given Before to Similar Officers on
 Local Issues-The Campaign Was a
 FierceIy Fought One.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 19-Elections were held in every city, borough and town ship in Pennsylvania to-day and re- turns tonight indicate that the re- publicans in every case have either held their own or increased their ma- jority.
 Philadelphia to-day elected the can- didate of the republican party by a majority of from 45,O0O to 50,000. The election was for mayor, receiver of taxes, councilmen, police magistrates and school directors. The republicans made clean sweep and elected their candidate for mayor and receiver of taxes by a greater majority than was ever given to similar officers upon local issues
 The candidates of the republican par ty for mayor and receiver of taxes were City Solicitor Charles F. Warwick and William J. Roney, respectively.
 Ex-Governor R. B. Pattison and Colonel Sylvester Bonaffon, jr., were the candidates of the democratic party for the same offices.
 Seldom in the histoy of local politics has campaign been so fiercely fought as the one which closed tonight. The democratic papers made violent as- saults upon MT. Warwick and his ass sociate on the ticket The republican papers retaliated in kind. While the republican papers more or less made the campaign upon national issues the democrats conducted their canvas upon the ground of local interests. The situ- ation was complicated by a supposed disaffection in the republican ranks. If a split ever really existed in the republican ranks 1t has been healed and no evidence of "knifng'' of the candidates of the party is visible in to-day's vote.
 A great effort was made by the democratic managers to array the ir- dependent vote of the city against MT. Warwick and up to to-day it was thought that they had been to cer- tain extent successful.
 The republican majority in the city councils will be greater than ever.

 Against the Game. Boston, Feb. 19-At a meeting of the Harvard faculty held this afternoon it was voted as the opinion of the body that 1t would be we'll for the ath- leic committee to put an end to inter- collegiate football. The faculty further decided that it's opinion should be sent to the corporation with the request that they forward it to the athletic committee.
 This vote of the faculty, though it will dolb tless have considerable weight with the athletic committee, is merely an expression of opinion The final action in the matter; in fact the entire decision of the question rests with the committee. The athletic committee is appointed by the corporation consists of nine members; three members of the faculty, three graduates and three un- dergraduates.
 The present committee consists of the following men:
 Faculty, Profs James Barrags George A. Bartlett and William Davis; gradu- ates, Edward H. Bradford, William Hooper and Perry Trafford; under- graduates, P. w. Whittemore '95, J. c. Fairohild '96 and R. H. Stevenson '97.
