LEWIS KILMER, while plowing some
old soil at his East Lee (Mass.) farm a
few days ago, unearthed an old can
non, which has quite an interesting
history. The cannon was once owned
by several young men in East Lee, and
was the envy of the uptown boys AT
the time of Gen. Buffers election to
the governors chair the cannon was
stolen and used to celebrate the event.
During the great melee which followed
on election night the cannon was re.

fear of detection, it was buried deep,
and its sudden disappearance was soon

theme are hundreds, of charming localities
pre-eminenty fitted for summer homes
Nearly all are located on or near lakes

ACCIDENT THEORY ACCEPTED.
Yonkers' Bomb Explosion Mystery
viii Probably Never BE Solved.

Sonkers, y. Y, oct. 2e.-TEe attempt Of
Coroner Miles TO sClve the mystery of the
Arlington Chemical Works Tomb explosion,
Which resulted in the killing of Harnlin j.
AndruS, now seems TO have fallen flat.
Even the Pinkcrton men who have been at
work on the case confess they are all
at sea, and ii is believed Will drop the
whole matter.
For several days Coroner Miles has had
detained at police headquarters Louis Nc
LeOd, the sixteen year boy, who worked
In the office of the chemical works up to
October 3, when he was discharged. This
morning the coroner notified the police
that he no longer desired Young Mcleod
held, and accordingly lie was permitted to
go free.
ltis generally understood thatthe hoy was
detained because of certain knowledge he
had concerning the building of wires in the
Arlington works. For some III ysterious rea-
son the line Of investigation followed to
ascertain who constructed these wires, has
been suddenly dropped, and it now appears
that an effort is Icing made to drop the
whole murder investigation and establish
the theory of Chief of Police MIngin,
who believes the explosion was the result
OF an accident.
Tue inquest is set down for tomorrow,
but it is likely to tie postponed in order
TO give them time TO work out an ac-
captable accident case.

Mr.. Andrus was experimenting with the
bomb to protect the safes in the office
against burglars when il exploded. Accord
ing to the son, the father was reading his
morning mail when the explosion occurred

QUAkERS IN BETTER FORM.
Browns We're Unable to Score
Against the Pennsyiyaniaus

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S.-PennS ylvania de
fcatcd Brown this AFTERNOON l6 to o.
Tue active New EnglandcrS opened up with
rush and for il time it looked as if they
would carry the ball over for u touchdown
by the rapidity and spirit Of their play.
They carried the pig skin inside Penn
sylvania's twenty-five yard line by sharp
running and fumbling by the Quaker line.
Twice Pcnns ylvania had kicks blocked on
their twcnty-yard line and once MOriCc
made a fluke kick. Brown got as far us
tue Quakcrs' fiftcen-yard line, but here
stopped, and the tide turned.
For tue first ten minutes the Quakcrs
played spiritless game and only opposed
a half-hearted defense TO Browns rush.
With the ball on their fifteen yard line and
tue encouraging shouts of 1,5O0 OF their
fellow students ringing in their ears, Penn
syivania braced up, and from that moment
Brown was never in the game.
Fine runs by Colbert, Morice and Minds
around the ends and line bucking by
Wharton and Farrar carried the ball up To
Browns goal and Colbert went through
left tackle for touchdown. Woodruff
kicked the goal and no more scoring re-
suited in this halt.
In the second half Pennsylvania had
Brown on the defense the entire time.
Morice. by run OF thirty yards around
RrOwn's right end, scored a touchdown and
Farrar plunged rhrougn tn. rIgnt side ut the
line for fifteen yarSs for another. On one
OF the touchdowns only was goal kicked
For Brown Wheeler played a fine game
at guard and Fultz. Gannons, Colby and
Han did good work in the back fielding,
barring their weakness i'll catching puEt>.
While Pennsylvania play was far su-
perlor to their work against Lafayette
there was still fatal tendency To tumble
and slowness in putting the ball in play.
Woodruff went back to his plac,"us guard
from fullback and MoricG went on full
back. Fortesque, one OF the scrubs, played
quarter and did the best work of the sea son
for Pennsylvania in that position. TIE
