The Washington students Treat varsity
toa surprise.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Nov. Is.
spoclal.-Virginia met with something of
ID surprise I'm the team from Columbian
College here to-day. The team from Wash
ngtOn had been reported very Hsht anu
much weaker than 10 proved TO be. AFTER
The first few downs ID was plain that VIZ
ginia would be forced TO play hard Tor 81
good score against the Visitors. Inc game
was scheduled for haif-past ., but II was
4 o'clock before the Nashlnston boys put
i'm am appearance After some dispute
over a mistake as 10 the length OF the
halves the game siarted.
Nirginia's play was very slow and
ragged for several minutes, and II was
well into the first half before she got
down 10 systematic work After forcing
the ball down 10 the Columbian twenty
five ward line Captain Morrison went
back for try at goal from the field, but
Referee Kelly. ON very questionable ue-
cision declared it 10 goal.
To the majority of the coaches ana tlme-
keepers il looked safe. but the decision OF
the referee was adhered 10. After a rev
minutes play liill carried the Dill over
the line for toucn-uoNh. Lat'I III t,4e
half Nirginia was given quite scare by
the line bucking of Lewis, the star fun
back OF Columbian. who carried the ball
10 the twenty-yard line OF the nome
team. The ball went over on down, how
ever. and after that virginia soaI was
Comparatively speaking the work Of the
visitors was superior 10 that OF virginia.
Lewis played the best game on the field,
his tackline and line bucking being OF the
very HIGHEST order. Tindall and Louchs
also PLAYED brilliantly for Columbian. At
no stage of the game did Virginia play IN
her usual form and the backs were gen
orally slow. although In the second half
they warmed up and played hard pail.
For Virginia Captain Morrlsoh' carney,
Hill and Collier played the pest game.
Nirginia's second touchdown came after
six minutes of play In the second mar.
The game was called ON account or dark
ness after only thirteen minutes OF play
IN the second half.

Chicago, December 16-James Letter
intimated Thursday that he would pay
cash for all the wheat delivered to him,
and that he would ship it by all rail
to Buffalo, New York and Boston.
Armour thinks that there is an excel
lent value in wheat and anticipates that
all the wheat obtainable will be re-
quired in the end. Thursdays market
presented a regular holiday appearance,
although the quietness was accompan-
led by considerable strength. The
principal bull factors consisted of re-
ports Of continued damaging rains in
Argentina, and ed advance at Liver
| pool. Northwest receipts were mod
crate. and 127 cars of the 357 received
at Chicago were of contract grade. Ad-
dition to the contract stock amounted
to 225OOO bushels, and New York re-
ported 100000 bushels taken for e1-
port yesterday. Late advices from
Rosiaro claimed that damage to crops
in Argentina was insignificant. Late
in the session buying movement de-
veloped. December wheat sold up to
$1001a and May to 92Ac. Corn and
oats were inclined to weakness with
moderate liquidation in each market,
while provisions were firm on light
hog receipts. Realizing caused de-
cline, however.

An easier feeling developed under pres

action caused fractional declines
throughout the list. The market
lapsed into dullness and the balance
of the morning was spent in Irregular

New York, December 16.-There was
lack Of bear news during the early
session Thursday, while bull traders
were on the alert and at every oppor-
tunlty utilized any factor favorable to
their party. However, despite the fact
that this element is apparently in the
minority they seem to have a little the
best OF the situation AS to dividends
Tor certain stocks, within year prop
critics that had never paid dividends
ana many that were out of the divi-
dend paying ranks for years, have
again become pro rata distributors of
prohts, with every promise that they
will continue d deinitely. In this cate,

The Chester Times says:
"A large store room in the Black block

Company and business will be- commenced
In n short time. Agents of the concern
have eanvassed this city, and IL issaid that
eighty merchants have already signed tho
contracts. though number of tho leading
storekeepers have refused to have anything
to do with the system, denouncing it as u

A member of the business Mems Asso

But DR.. Wagner Lost His Case Against
Frederick County, Md.

Baltimore, Dec. 4-Dr. Harrison
Wagner yesterday lost his suit to re-
cover nearly 100000 from the county
commissioners of Frederick county.
Judge Norris in the United States
court, before whom the case was tried
without a jury, decided that there was
no prima facie evidence of the validity
Of the 1000 magistrate judgments
against the county commissioners upon
which DR.. Wagner had based his claim.
A verdict was accordingly rendered for
the commissioners.
The certified copies of the alleged
judgments filled q trunk. which DIR.
Wagner had sent to the court from
Washington. These judgments purport
to have been obtained before the late
Justice Haynes, Of Frederick county
Each is for 800 and S1.s0 costs, aggre-
eating $l,1l4,300, the interest making
up the sum Of s1,s75,915 claimed by DIR.
Wagner.
DR.. Wagner, who took the result of
the trial very quietly, returned to
Washington. He was formerly q manu-
facturer Of proprietary medicines In
Frederick county, but now lives in
