PREsHIEs WON TIE DAY.
stevens Institute EEas ITS Usuaz
TuxsIe for tie Cane

Tussie for the Cane.
The members of Stevens Institute. Eo-
boken, yesterday afternoon aocked 10 ths
St George Cricket Grounds, TO witness
the annual cane spree Of that institu~
ton. This contest takes place between
the freshmen and sophomore classes, to
decide which class shall be allowed to
carry canes for the ensuing term.
A cane is placed on the ground. The
members from each class. stationed at a
given distance. on signal from the ref
cree rush for the cane. The side that IS
able to wrest the cane from the other
is the winner, AS can be imagined, there
is a very lively tussIe before the win
ming side captures the cane.
But Stevens has adopted a much less
rough way in deciding this point between
the two lower classes. There are three
men from each class selected and they
are divided into three classes-light me-
dunn and heavyweight. The lightweight
from the freshman class and the light
weight from the sophomore class grasp
the cane If the freshman IS able to
wrest the cane from the sophomore
there is one point in favor Of the fresh
men class. Then the two middle weights
fight it out and finally the heavy Vyweights.
The class that gets two points OUT OF
three is the winner.
In the contest yesterday the freshrner
class won by securing the first and third
points. The freshmen had as their mascot
a big1 six-foot negro in boomers, while
the sophomores had a young kid which
may some day become big goat. II the
sophemores don't kill it for failing To
make them the winners.

Sound Money Democrats Organize at
Newark for a Contest
Special to the Jerscu CitU Nears.

NEWARK, Oct. 1O 1se6.-The National
Democrats of Essex County, N. j., have
determined to make a vigorous fight
against the Congressional nominee of the
Democratic Party in the Sixth New Jer-
sey District, Joseph e. Beeclher The Ma
tional Democratic Committee organized
last night. General E. P. Meaney was
elected chairman. Whether to nominate
a full ticket. OF to nominate only Sena-
torial and Congressional candidates, was
not decided. There was a strong feeling
that the Assembly and other minor can
didates should be Endorsed. Finally the
whole matter was referred to the Execu-
tive Committee. Should the Assembly can
didates be indorsed, their names will be
printed on the Palmer and Buckner tick
cts.
When the choice of a candidate for
Congress was discussed, Judge Gottfried
Krueger's name met with general appro-
val, and the Executive Committee will
consider it.
The report in morning paper that the
candidacy of Augustus w Congress, sill
yer Democratic nominee for Congress in
the Fourth District was not to be OPP
posed by the National Democrats is not
true The National Democrats of that dis
trict determined not to put up a candi-

10 Meet on the 2Ie7.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1S96-On the
2lst instant the Board of Trustees of the
Catholic University will meet in this city
to select three names to be submitted to
Pope Leo XIII, who will designate one
Of the three to besthe successor to Bishop
Keane whose summary removal as rector
OF the University has occasioned so much
comment, and has ELECTED SO many ex-
presslons Of sympathy and respect from
Catholics and Protestants alike. The
trustees of the University are.-Cardinal
Gibbons, Archbishop Williams of Boston,
Ryan Of Philadelphia, Corrigan of New
York, Ireland of ST. Paul, and chapelle
of Santa Fe, Bishops Macs of Covington.
Foley Of Detroit, Spalding of Peoria and
5ortsman OF Cleveland, Vicar General
Farley of New York, Father Lee of St
Matthew s parish, Washington. D. C. and
as lay members, Michael Jenkins, Balti-
more; Thomas E. Waggaman, washing
ton, and Joseph Bannigan of Rhode
Island. Bishop Keane, the deposed rector,
IS also one of the trustees.
W1nat these rs gentlemen, or SO many
of them as may choose to come to WASH
ington, Will do when they meet ON
Wednesday week, what names they will
select 70 lay before the. Pope, whether
keane, may not be one of the three
chosen, il is of course impossible to pre-
dlct With any pretense of accuracy.
1t Is stated with much positiveness and
as emanating Indirectly from the new
Papal delegate, Archbishop Martinell that
the Pope's wish is that the new rector of
the University should not be high dig
nitary of the church but one holding no
higher ecclesiastical office than that of
secular priest. 1t is believed that the
potent influence of the Papal legation will
be exerted to secure this result, the OBJ
Ject being to step outside of all the con-
troyersies between high dignitaries of the
church which are now menacing the
progress of the University.

largely the attention of our people, the
work of advancing sound financial ideas
and the labor of enforcing the lessons of
public and private honesty and morality,
