LAFAYETTE IS SHY.
The Foot Ball Club Prefers to Rest
Upon Their Laurels for u Season.

Easton, Pa, Oct. ga conference
was held at the Pomfret club In this
city this afternoon to consider the ad-
visibility of Lafayette and the UNI
versity of Pennsylvania playing an
other foot ball game this season. Those
present at the conference were q. L.
McAvey, manager Of the Pennsylvania
team; Manager Bishop and Coach
Parke Davis, Of the Lafayette team,
and Professor F.. \. March, jr., Judge
Howard Reeder, James Fox and John
Maxwell, representing the Lafayette
alumni athletic committee. At the
conclusion of the conference it was
announced that another game will not
be played between the two colleges
this season. The Pennsylvania repre-
sentative was very anxious that game
should be played, offering one-half Of
the gross receipts for one game.
When asked the reason why Lafay-
ette would not play. Professor March
said. this evening: 1.-THE Lafayette
athletic advisory committee decided
that. with the present schedule OF
games, it would be unwise to arrange
for another game of such great impor-
tance. The only inducements were
financial and these the committee con-
sidered of minor Importance. Lafay-
cite Athletic association is not run
with the object of making money"
The Lafayette boys have not yet
gotten through with celebrating the
victory they won on Saturday over
Pennsylvania A parade was held this
evening, in which all the students In
a body, and number Of others took
part. After the parade all repaired to
the campus, where bonfire was light
ed and speeches were delivered by Pro-
fessor March and Parke Davis. The
dormitory building was beautifully IL
Illuminated.

can. believe the reading Of Mr. Bry-
ans Chicago speech in every court
house in the United States will do won-
derful good I thank you very much
for the interest YOU manifest In the
campaign"

The Alleged "NO. ''Of Phoenix Park
Murdcrers Lands in New FORK.


New York, Oct 26-P. ]. lyman. the
alleged "No. 1" of the Phoenix Park
murderers, arrived on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Saale this evening
from Cherbourg.
Mr.. lyman was seen at quarantine
by representative Of the United AS
ly hesitated to talk for publication
any utterance by him might compro-
mise others, and perhaps those who
had been kind to him. He refused to
discuss the purpose of his visit to Eu-
rope, but emphatically stated that his
mission was entirely successful. He
ridiculed the reported cleverness of the
Scotland yards detectives. and said he
had been under their noses q number
of times without being suspected. He
had also visited Gibraltar. He said it
was owing to some carelessness while
in certain city that the detectives
began to suspect him. He refused to
say what city he referred to. His
treatment IN the French prison was
exactly the same as that accorded 9TH
er prisoners, but he had the privilege
of sending to the canteen for his meals,
etc. The sub-prerect and all the at
tacheS were very much interested in
him and warmly espoused his cause
After his release he went to Paris for
short stay 10 recuperate. His health
Is good. He looks to be about 4S years
of age, clean shaver, except for q Jet
black moustache, and talks with the
air of an educated man. He will go
at once to his home in Audubon Park
to see his wife and eight children.

was receiving in 1892 50 a day, and the
dollar in 1892 woud purchase almost as
much of the necessaries of life as 81 would
in 1873. A sharp illustration Of what has
happened since 1873 can be found in the
experience Of the railroads. cite the New
York Central because 1t Is our state road,
traversing the commonwealth from one
end to the other. and its conditions are
more familiar to US than any other In

since 1S90-we are receiving for the car
riage OF the products Of the farm only
One-half the rates we received In 1913.
This enormous contribution comes from
capital to the consumer and from capital
to the producer. We are enabled to live
at all only because the progress of In
vention permits us to do the work cheap
er than We did in 1873, but not cheaper In
proportion to this tremendous reduction
freight. While, however, the returns to
capital by this reduction have been cut
from eight to four per cent. the results
to labor Of the conditions under the iniquit-
GUS gold standard since 1873 have been
directly the reverse. In 1873 the locOmo-
tive passenger engineer on the New York
Central received $50 per month, and now
his average earning Is $3.50 per month; the
freight engineer then received $50 per
month, and now he averages 500; then the
tlremen received $40 per month, and now
Sl5 in the passenger service and $50 in the
freight service: then trainmen and brake
men received $50 to $35, and now they re-
ceive $40 to $50; the trackmen, who consti-
tute the great body of labor, received S1ia
cents day in 1873, and now they get $l.35.

DESPERATE BURGLARS.
They beat Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony
Monaghan in n Shocking Manner.

Girardville. Pa, Oct. 26.-Early Sun
day morning burglars broke into the
Rappahannock hotel and sandbagged
the proprietor, Anthony Monaghan, and
his wife. They then forced their way
into the bar room and commenced to
crack the safe. Mr.. Monaghan and
wife recovered and rushed into the bar
room to fight the masked burglars off
II possible. as the safe contained $1,000
In bonds and other valuable papers.
The burglars turned on them and beat
both in q shocking manner
Thinking they were dead they cast
their bodies into another room and
locked 1t, after which they blew open
the safe and took the contents. They
spread feast in the kitchen and un-
cCrked several bottles from the bar,
after which they looted the bar room,
taking almost everything in It.
Mr. and Mrs. Monaghan are in a seri-
Gus condition today and may not re-
cover. The burglars made good their
escape. There Is no clue to their iNsn-
tity.

BULLETS DO NOT HARM HIM.

Feels None the Worse for II.

Toledo. Ohio, Oct. 26-Eenry Ramm
attacked his wife and a party of ladies
who were going to church with re-
volver. He shot at his wife, but miss
ing her, the bullet struck Mrs. Schmidt
in the arm. Mrs. Ramm fled as Mrs.
Schmidt fell to the sidewalk. The
maddened man pursued his wife two
blocks, firing at her constantly. She
escaped into neighbOr's house. Ramm
then returned and began another fusi-
lade on Mrs. Schmidt, after which he
turned his attention to his stepson and
fired several shots at him without eff
feet, also turning his weapon on the
crowd that had collected.
Ramm then walked across the street
and taking off his hat fired bullst
into his own forehead about an inch
above the right eye. Ramm was taxi
en- to the police station to die, but
later he got up and walked about the
room and asked for a paper to read.
The physicians are puzzled.

was made by two woodsmen at the ho-
tel at Morris yesterday. Had it not
been for the bravery Of two women
cooks at the hotel the prisoners would
have gotten away.
When taken into the dining room at
noon yesterday Constable Hart removed
the handouts from the prisoners. A
woodsman in the plot to lberate the
men called Constable Hart to the door
Just then his confederate threw open
a rear door and yelled. Here. boys.
is your chance to strip" the four
prisoners arose, but trc next instant
the two women cooks slammed the
door shut and locked it until the men
were re-shackled.
From the amount of dynamite powder
and other explosive paraphernalia
found on the men when arrested II is
believed that they are of the gang
which has been burglarizing depots In
Northern Pennsylvania and Southern
New York for three weeks past. The
prisoners are now in Jail here.
