THE FACULTY FORBlSS.
The following special from the JniNer-
si.y OF Virginia 10 The Times last night
explains itself:
"The faculty Of the University have
declined TO allow the football team amy
further absence from lectures this year.
This Will. therefore. prevent the cone
tc.t which had been arranged between
the Hampton Athletic Club team and
the Varsity for Saturday next, in Hich-
mond The reason given by them for
this objection TO the game is that IL is
entirely contrary to tho rules or The
University governing athitucs, winch
saw that the teams shall not engage n
any athletic contest off the college
grounds. except with regular college
Gibbs.

She bIushed. It was the right thing
to do. She looked better that way.

No Damages for Butte.s Explosion.

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 9.-An important
ruling by Judge Mediation virtually
knocks out score or more of suits for
damages for death and injuries caused
by the great explosion a year ago,
when ffty-eight persons were killed
and several hundred wounded. The
case on trial was that of Joseph Mil
ano VS.. the Keoyon e Connen Com
mercial company and L. j. Connell
and w. R. Kenyon, trustees, for per-
sonal injuries. A motion made by de-
Tense for non-suit as to the trustees
was sustained. This leaves redress
against the company only, and the
company is now il the hands of the
sheriff under the attachment by the
creditors and is virtually bankrupt.
The aggregate amount sued for in all
the cases is $3.50, 900.

a syndicate composed of Drexel & Co.,
Gilman, Son & Co, and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Trust Company.
The deal is perfected by the purchase
of about 81, 500, 600 of the preferred
bonds of the company. The road will
at once gain entrance to Kansas City
and st. Joseph, and new line will be
built from Pattonsburg to connect
with the Omaha and st. Louis road.
A new line will also be built from
Quincy to Decatur, paralle1ing the
Wabash, and connecting with the In
dianapolis, Decatur and Western.
This will make another through trunk
line from Kansas City, Omaha and

GOLD COMING IN.

Country Bankers Send Large Amounts
to New York for Safe Keeping.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-It is learned
from number of prominent banks in
this city that they have been re-
quested often in the past few days to
open gold accounts These requests
have come from customers, including
some banks in the interior. The
banks, however, have invariably re-
sponded in the negative to such re-
quests, citing the fact that they would
not be jutified by their Clearing House
agreement in opening gold accounts
The result has been that banks with
large vault room have received good
deal of gold in the last few days
which they are now merely holding as
safe deposit agents for the account of
country banks.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. &C. w.
Tourge. ex-postmaster at West Will
Mansfield, Ohio, and the present chair
man of the Ashtabula county Repub-
hcan committee, was arrested by the
United States authorities and brought
to this city and placed in Jail The
specific charge against him is having
large sign displayed in front of his
store, with the words post office
upon it. This is considered by the
postal authorities to be one of the
gravest offenses that can be COM
nlitted against their laws. Mr.. Tourge
was appointed postmaster at West
Williamsfield by President Harrison
and was removed two years ago by
President Cleveland. He continued,
however, to operate a postoffice, sell
ing stamps and collecting mail, which
he delivered to the mail trains. Mr..
Tourge claims he was ignorant of the
fact that he was violating any law.
He was arrested on complaint of the
regularly appointed postmaster.

The vacant Seat.


1t is cold December evening. The
leadess trees throw a network of shad-
ows on the walk. Leaden. clouds are
scudding over the sky, and a myriad of
tiny snowfakes float waveringly on the
frigid atmosphere and then fall unheed-
ed upon the shoulders of the two men
who have been standing on the curb for
the past quarter of an hour, waiting for
an up town car.
The varicolored lights Of the APP
preaching car ct length appear in the
distance, and as the car itself ultimate
ly slackens speed at the crossing the two
shivering figures on the corner, stimuli
taneously observing that it contains but
a single vacant seat, hasten forward
with the common intention of securing
it.
The fat man with the ford face
reaches it first and drops heavily into it
with grunt of mingled triumph and
satisfaction.
The thin man grabs viciously for a
strap and remains standing in front of
his more fortunate fellow passenger.
Fixing his eyes savagely upon the placid
countenance beneath him, he remarks
in voice husky with emotion, 'tHuhy
this company ought to charge its pas
sengers by the pound ~
Settling back more comfortably in his
seat, the fat man observes, with an un-
rufded visage and in tones quite audible
to the eagerly waiting passengers,
"Humph, if they did, they would never
stop to pick you upi"-Life.
