SCHOONER MAGGIE ABBOTT.
Went to Pieces in the storm Yesterda

Went to Pieces in the storm Yesterday.
 New London, Nov 5.--The schooner Maggie Abbott, which has been strand ed on Watch Hill reef about two weeks and had withstCod the weather and tugging to get her off, finally went to pieces to-day in the severe storm which has now been raging on the sound for twenty-four hours. There is hardly a vestige of the ship left. The craft was on her way through the sound loaded with lumber when she went aground
 She was owned in Boston. Wrecker Scott made desperate attempts on four or five distinct occasions to get the Abbott off the reef. but gave up the task last week. Captain Scott has been informed of the stranding of the little schooner Edward Mclaughlin at Pot ter's Field, Hart's island, but he said tonight that he would not go to the rescue, as it was too near New York. The Mclaughlin is owned by Henry Gardner of Milestone Point, Conn. It is expected that she can be saved.

Official From National Republican Com
 mittee

New York, Nov. 5.-M. A. Hanna, chairman of the republican national committee,gav out the following state ment at 2 p. Tn. to-day:
 Sufficient returns have been received to satisfy me that the following states have been carried for Mckinley and Hobart without a doubt:
 .Calif )rna, 3; Connecticut, 6; Dela- ware, 8; Illinois, 24; Indiana, 15; Iowa, B; Maine, 6; Maryland, s; Massachu- sets, 15; Minnesota, 9; Michigan, Ii; North Dakota, 3; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, 32; Rhode Is land, 1; South Dakota, 4; Vermont, A. West Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12; Wyo- ming, 1. Total, 265, which insures their election by majority of S1 in the cleo toral college, if every other electoral vote goes against us.
 Another most significant feature of this victory is the fact that Mckinley and Hobart's election has been secured by plurality of over 100000 of the popular vote-the largest ever given.
 q am confident that we shall secure the other two electors in Wyoming and 13 in Kentucky. North Carolina's Il votes are in doubt
 'tThe importance to the country of this result cannot be overestimated, and it is a matter of congratulation to ali loyal and patriotic citizens of the United States. Incendia.y utterances and pretended claims which question the accuracy of this statement should not disturb the public mind

WILL CONTEST.
The Contestant is Mrs. Emma J. Hine of
 Milford.

The Contestant is Mrs. Emma J. Hine of
 Milford.
 Among the cases which were return ed to the superior court last Tuesday was an interesting will contest which emanates from Milford. The contest is over the will of the late Elnathan Bald win, who died there on September 30 last. He was eighty-four years old at the time of his death
 The contestant is Mrs. Emma J. Hine of Milford, the only child of the testa- tor. The principal beneficiary under the will is her step-mother, who was something like forty years younger than the late MT Baldwin.
 MT. Baldwin married his second wife, who was a Mrs. Whitcomb, about sev- en years ago. He owned a farm and something like S10,O0O in addition. Three years after Mir Baldwin had married his wife they had a disagreement, which resulted in a separation, and an application for a divorce on the part of Mrs. Baldwin. The case was heard, but the divorce was refused. A reconcilia- ton was then effected, and Mrs. Bald win went back to reside with her hus- band When he married Mrs. Baldwin he made a will in which he gave every thing to his wife, and cut his daughter, Mrs. Hine, off with only $100
 It appears that subsequently, he made three other wills, and in each he revok- ed all previous ones When the recon- ciliation was affected he deeded to his wife all his real estate in Milford. If anyone of the three last wills were still in existence the daughter would have shared with her step-mother in the per- sonal property, which is supposed to be worth $6,000.
 The first will has been presented at the Milford probate court, and has been formally admitted to probate. Mrs. Baldwin was been appointed as eNecu- trix.
 Arvine & Hubbard appear for the contestant and Mrs. Baldwin will be represented by Hall & Johnson of Bridgeport.
 Undue influence on the part of Mrs. Baldwin is alleged as the ground for the contest.

Yale Against Brown at Providence
 Princeton Plays Harvard at Cambridge
 and Pennsylvania Lines Up Against Car-
 lisle at PhiladeIphia-Con of the
 Elevens-Chances Are for Princeton
 FincSe Will Captain Yale's Team at
 Providence.
 The Yale team will leave tonight for Providence, where it will play Brown
 tomorrow. During this week Captain Murphy has been giving his team short
 secret practice each afternoon this
 week and has several new plays to spring on Brown. Most Of these plays will be practiced in the hall of the Mar
 ragansett Pier house in Providence to-
 morrow forenoon. The plays consist of
 close formations and quick revolving
 plays designed against the tackles.
 Fincke will probably captain the team during the Brown game, as Captain
 Murphy intends to go to Boston to wit
 ness the Harvard Princeton game and get points on PrInceton's new plays
 that he may be prepared for them
 November 21, when Yale plays Prince ton. Benjamin and Van Every, the Yale backs, will also probably attend
 the Boston game and nearly ali the
 Yale coaches will be there.
 The two football games to be played tomorrow at Cambridge between
 Harvard and Princeton, and at Phila-
 delphia between Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indian school will perhaps be the most interesting of the season thus far. From present indications Prince tons chances seem to be the better for
 the Cambridge game, as her men are all in good condition, while some of
 Harvard's regular players may be un- able to take part on account of in
 juries. Among these are Honold, r. Shaw and Wrlghtington, while Wheeler
 also will probably not recover in time.
 Princeton seems to have the advantage at center, both tackles, left and half
 full-back. Harvard's s men are stronger at right guard and right end. The
 other players are well matched
 Both teams have gone into secret practice the past week, and both are | expected to exhibit some new forma- tions and styles of attack that will
 prove very puzzling. Much interest is | manifested in the success of Prince tons revolving tandem that worked such destruction against Cornell
 Much of the probability that Prince ton will win the game rests on the fact that her backs are far superior to Harvard's. Although Harvard's line held against the Indians. there is big Princeton. Smith, Princeton's quarter is speedy and tackles with great suc-
 cess. Church and Hildebrand at tackles
 are playing a magnificent game. Cap- tain Cochrane at end is steady, but | Brokaw at the other end is not so cer- l tain. rtf
 Captain Wrightinton of Harvard was out Wednesday in football uniform for the first time since he was injured three weeks ago. He will probably be- gin the game tomorrow
 PENNSYLVANIA'S CONDITION. Boyle and Wharton of the Pennsyl- vania team are the only members of the eleven who are doing satisfactory work. Gelbert, Molice and Minds fail to cover their man in interfering and blocked kicks abound. Many friends of the Philadelphia eleven fear that the Carlisle Indians will win the game to- morrow. Pennsylvania has gone into secret practice to prepare for the con- test.

A Large COcOanut Plantation.

A Yucatan correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record describes larg @
cocoanut plantation of New England
mar down there. "On tract of 1000
acres (purchased from the Government
at the rate of four cents per acre) he
has set out 10000 trees and expects
in due time to make princely fortune
therefrom. 1t requires six years for
the trees to begin to yield returns,
and it is estimated that in ten years
from the time of planting the grove
will be worth at least 81, 900, 900, on
which it will yield an annual income
of ten per cent. A full grown cocoa
nut tree will mature from sixty to lou
nuts every year. Another American
is experimenting in this neighborhood
on ramie, or vegetable silk, and de-
ciares that it's cultivation is to become
an important factor in cloth-making
materials. Ramie is member OF the
bromelia family, here known as silk
grass, and grows wild in the hot sands
of the coast. To-day it is worth 95
cents q pound in Manchester, Eng
land, while the demand for it is i'm

SEA LION TRAPPING A GULL.

dered how this animal manages to se-
cure its favorite food, wild sea fowl.
Sea gulls are so wild that it is diff
cult even for man to get within guR-
shot of one. The seal seems to realize
that it would be waste of time to at
tempt to crawl up upon the gulls as
they rest upon the water end catch;
them unawares. So he watches until
the gulls are soaring slowly through
the air close to the waves Then the
seal dives into the sea and swims un.
dernesth the water for some distance.
By the time he has managed to swim
hundred feet the gull has forgotten
the presence of it's enemy. This gives
the seal his opportunity. He eau
tiously rises to the surface Of the
water at some distance from the roint.
at which he dived, and allows merely
the tip of his great nose to appear
above the water.
Remaining in this position. he gives
his enormous body rotary motion 30
that his nose describes a circle on the
surface of the ocean. he does this 80
skilfuIly that to the gull his nose looks
like water bug at play. This catches
the gull's eye, and it at once darts
down with the speed of an arrow, aim
ing straight for the little dot. The
seal sees it coming and sinks few
inches, and as the gull strikes the
water with tremendous force, the
seals jaws close upward and the gull
disappears.

three or four deep gashes and was
smeared with blood. The oil-cloth
apron thrown over his shoulders was
dripping with the red fluid and the
surgeon was ready to begin sewing up
the wounds.
His assistant was feeling the pulse
of the wounded man, and in the back
ground stood the comrades Of the in
jured men, calmly smoking and gazing
into the camera.
The reproduction ofthe photograph,
given herewith. is not as ghastly as
the original, and yet it may not be a
pleasant thing to look upon. The en-
cuse for printing it is that it repre-
sents what happens twice week at
this dwelling house, which stands on
the banks OF the Neckar River, op-
posite the town and the castle. Every
one who has visited Heidelberg has
taken occasion to write of the famous
duels, in which the students are so
padded and protected that they can
only chop each other on the cheeks
or across the forehead.
The young man in the photograph
has received so many slashes that the
surgeon has stopped the fight, and is
now stopping the flow of blood:
The young man will be confined to
his room for several days, and then ne
will venture out, his head wrapped II
heavy bandages, and resume MS place
at the beer table with his comrades.

around with him the remainder OF his
life. Be assured be would not have
any one of them heal and disappear
for q thousand marks. While he car
ries the scars they say for him: u

my duels."
It is no exaggeration to say that
three-fourths of the students encoun-
tered in the streets and gardens OF
Heidelburg carry the purple CROSS
marks and long, ragged seams across
their faces. The student never has q
sure standing among the "corps" bod
les until he has been wounded at least
once, and, strange as it may seem, the
awkward duel1st who is slashed the Of
tenest seems to take an especial PRIDE
in the number and the redness OF his
scars.
Occasionally there will be seen a
student whose face is 30 deeply ban
daged that he has difficulty in getting
his cigar into his mouth.
One day in the garden adjoining the
old castle a.student came in led by two
friends, who wore the colored caps OF
his "corps." This young man could
not see through the several bandages
that were laid across his face, and

Strange Rabbit Freak.

Miss Bertrand, young lady living

rabbit that differs from any other rab.
bit mentioned in zoology. This par.

that one is located directly on top OF
it's head and is about twice as large as
it ought to be.
Miss Bertrand's father is a hotel
proprietor, and the odd-looking rabbit
is q great pet around the hostelry.
According to the San Francisco Call,
the rabbit must have known that he
was different from other rabbits and,
therefore, entitled to some considera.

When chased he did not run away,
but hid in a clump of bushes and re-
