vast number that had gathered at
Pine's bowling alley to witness the
game between the Crescents and Orients.
These teams are the leaders in the tourna-

out to cheer them on to victory
The game was full of excitement from
start to finish and at times it was diff
cult to judge as to which would be the
winner The teams were evenly matched
until the second frame when the Orients
began to lose courage and the standard
of their playing was lowered to such an
extent that it became evident that the
Crescents were the winners. The latter
team finally won by 80 pins. The follow

Rockland, December 14.-Rockland
suffered her first defeat in the home
rink tonight, Portland winning in the
hardest played game thus far this sea-
son. The home team was greatly weak
enee by the absence Of the captain and
first rush Campbell, who is laid up tenn
porarily by injuries. Portland put up
a splendid exhibition Of team work, the
Dawson brothers playing together like
clockwork. Aliens stops in the goal
were numerous and all of the most diff
cult character. Even in their disappoint-
ment the Rockland enthusiasts gave him
an ovation.
In the last period, L. Jason, local
player, went in as second rush and put
up very creditable game. The home
team made desperate effort to pull the
game from the Goals, but Portland had
too much Roadway. The summary:

THIRTEEN PERSONS KILLED.
A FATAL ACCIDENT IN A COLO-
RADIO SILVER MINE.
Many Others are Entombed and MAY
Die Before They can be
Rescued.

Nicor, Col, Jan. Am accident oc-
Cured about noon to-day at the Anna
Lee mine of the Portland Co, on the
Battle mountain. Nine men were
caught in a big caye-in, and four who
were on the cage when the ground
gave way, are all probably dead The
others who were in the mine are also
supposed to be dead.
The work of rescue was started at
once and great efforts are being made
to reach the men, 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if this can be done in time to save
them on account of the general char
acter of the disaster. The cave-in be-
gan 35 feet from the top of the shaft.
1t is believed that it will take a week
or ten days to rescue the entombed
miners. AS the shaft on the Anna
Lee is about 900 feet deep it can be
readily seen that great amount of
work will be required not only to clear
the shaft in order to make a passage
way to theleyels but also to make wav
in the stations and the slopes which
are included in the cave-in.
The cause of the disaster cannot he
definitely stated but it is known that
the timbers were insufficient to sustain
great weight, both lateral and perpen-
dicular to which they have been sub
jected.

swer to questions, say that the presi-
dent of the Board had completely ig-
nored me and that had done the best
/ could under the circumstances.
Saying nothing about the testimony
of other professors / shall now give
the testimony about which so much
has been said-that of DIR.
j. +. Dillinger, the professor in
Chemistry. For years this professor
and myself had been friends. His tes-
timony was, therefore, looked upon as
the strongest possible evidence of my
unfitness, he having given private tes-
timony on a former occasion to certain
members OF the Board. Dur
ing his testimony, which
was bitter and more or less personal
in its nature, ! asked the Doctor
whether he had ever expressed any
dislike to me or accused me of being
tyrannicai before he heard that had
said that he had paid fifty dollars to
suppress the proceedings in the bas-
tardy case of Maggie Haynes. Instead
of answering my question directly,
which was intended TO show the ami
mus which prompted his conduct, he
replied that ne had been blackmailed,
and that ] had advised him to pay the
money, and that although he had
looked upon me as a father, yet had
seized this, my first opportunity, to
damage him. This unwarranted and
unexpected false statement liled me
and / replied by saying, that ] had Sc
cured and delivered to him some years
ago very damaging letter written by
q young lady TO him, charging him
with seduction and abandonment. To
this he retorted that nc knew wo-
man that would say that the woman
referred to had accused me to her of
attempting an outrage on her. This
statement is such a common resort
that ! shall dismiss il without com
ment further than to say that there
is not shadow OF truth in the charge.
If there had been the doctor would
have told me of it long ago. This is
the whole of the matter, except as to
the concealed birth of the infant,
about which / now have nothing TO
say and about which / said nothing
before the committee, except in reply
to the charge that / had wrongfully
sent girl away from school. / did
not mention or allude TO any promi-
nent Baptist preacher nor did ! seek
the scalp of anybody. 1t was my
scalp and position that was sought.
Now as TO the intimacy Of mine
with lady student. 1t is utterly
false and does not deserve notice, as
both the committee and faculty well
know.
II regret that it is my painful duty
To make these facts known to the pub
lie in vindication of the reputation
which ! have endeavored to establish
for myself and children. / have sought
to do my duty faithfully and con-
scientiousIy to the State and TO my
race. ] am perfectly willing, if the
committee desires it (and ] have said
this before to several members of the
board) to give them my resignation
upon just and reasonable terms, if
they deem such course necessary; but
| believe the decapitation business will
have to extend good deal farther
down the line than the presidency, in
order TO bring the institution into
popular favor with our people"
