PRINCETON. N. J., Oct. 3O.-Princeton
defeated the strong Dartmouth team in an
exciting contest on the varsity gridiron to-
day by a score of 80 to 0. The game was
marked by it's ferceness and the fact that
the Tigers goal was dangerously threatened
in the first half, a touchdown being avoided
only through an unfortunate decision OF
the referee who gave the ball to Princeton
when on the hfteen-yard line for holdins in
the line. Princeton's interference and team
work in the first half was extremely ragged.
and individual playing accounted for the
three touchdoWns made.

WEST POINT. N. Y, Oct. 30.-The cadets
had it up their sleeves for Yale to-day, and
had it not been for run by one of Yale's
speedy backs the score would have been s

according to Walter Camp. 'Yale's defense
is thing of the past" They could not hold

TWO CHILDREN ARE TERRIBLY
MANGLED By A BOMB.
It Was Intended For John O'Meara,
superintendent of the Moonlight
Mine-Filled With Dynamite,
Brass, Lead and Glass.

Butte. Mont, Aug. 2.-What was evil
IDENTIFY fiendish attempt to blow up
the house of John O'Meara, superin-
tendent of the Moonlight mine, came
near resulting in the death Of three
children today. What appeared to be
a Roman candle was found alongside of
the O'AIeara residence on East Broad
way by Mamie Benson, a girl of 5
years Mollie O'Meara, aged 8, and Ar
thur and Clarence Terrill, also children,
asked her for it and she gave it to
them. While playing with it, one of
the children struck it with a piece of
iron. It exploded with a report, indi-
eating that it was filled with dynamite.
The O'Meara child was literally pep
pered with fragments Of brass, lead and
glass, evidently part Of the contents
of the bomb. Her condition is serious
Clarence Terrill was also terribly cut
and viii probably lose an eye. His
brother was slightly hurt.
The Benson child left before the ex-
plosion and escaped injury. The hole
torn in the ground showed that the
bomb was charged with dynamite. Sew
eral attempts were made on O'Meara's
lie heretofore, and the supposition is
that the bomb was intended for him,
but the fuse expired before reaching
the contents.

NO SILVER DOLLARS COINED.
Treasury Thinks the Supply Sufh-
Gent For All Needs.

Washington, Aug. 2.lThe monthly
statement issued by the director of the
mint shows that during July, 1897. the
coinage executed at the United States
minis amounted to $670,S50, as follows:
Gold, 1891, 600; silver, $26O,O00; minor
coins, s23.S5O.
No standard silver dollars were
coined. 1t is stated, however, that
there is no significance in this. All of
the minis were closed from Is to %
days during July for repairs to ma
chinery and the annual overhauling
and in consequence the coinage was
unusually light.
In explanation of the fact that no
standard dollars were coined, it was
said that the supply on hand is suf-
ficient for all needs ard further that
the stock of minor coins has run very
low. In order to meet the present and
prospective demands of trade, the
minis were occupied in coming sub
sidiary silver and probably would so
continue through the month of August.
In addition there has accumulated a
large stock of uncurrent subsidiary
silver which must be recoined as
promptly as possible. During the
month of August the large accumula-
ton of gold bullion at San Francisco,
which now amounts to about S4,50O000,
will be worked off as rapidly as the
ca opacity of the mint will permit The
coinage of standard silver dollars prob
ably will be resumed about Sept 1.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 2-George H.
Eldridge, of the United States geologi-

Salt Lake to examine the Utah gilson-

TO Utah TO preserve its great and grow
ing fleet of war vessels, now blowing
every sea under the sun. Submarine
animals that attack the bottoms Of
these vessels have caused the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars by the ma
tons of the world. If it can be Demon
strated that there is sufficient of the
mineral in Utah, Uncle Sam can coat
the bottom of his vessels with the sub
stance and his ships can keep the seas
for years, and thus become the most
menacing power on the oceans.

with pain from the whipping, grappled
the irate woman and wrenched the
whip from her grasp and threw it into
the gutter.
The trouble arose over family mat
tiers. 1t seems that Stanley has
stopped at Nichols house during Wis

ing formerly lived here and his family
being on intimate terms of friendship
with the Nichols family. He was
charged nothing for board. Last spring
Stanley invited Nichols and his wife to
visit him at Ogden. They did so and
remained a month After returning
home, Nichols received a bill of $50.
He did not pay it, but when visiting
Salt Lake as delegate TO the Trans
Mississippi congress, Stanley sued him
and recovered the money
Last Friday night Nichols and Stan
ley came to blows overe the matter,
and today Mrs. Nichols created the
sensation. The whipping was witnessed
by hundreds of pedestrians and is the
talk of the city. Mrs. Nichols is
prominent member of society here and
Stanley occupies a high position in
Ogden society. No arrests have been
made.

TOBACCO PRIZE PACKAGES.
No Seizures to Be Made Until Some
Questions Are Settled.

Washington, Aug. "A modification
of the recent circular of instructions
TO collectors of internal revenue has
been made and will be sent out today.
These instructions declare that all the
packages of smoking tobacco, fine cut
chewing tobacco or cigarettes contain
ing articles prohibited by section 10 of
the new tariff act or having such arti-
cles attached or connected Herewith,
or advertising any promise or offer of
gift, reward or prize, contrary to the
provisions of the new act, are subject
to seizure. The new order directs that
all violations of this section of the act
be reported to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, but no seizures shall be
made without specific instructions
from him.
Some question has arisen of the
power of the department in the prem
Uses. The contention is made that con-
gress has TO power to fix by law reg
ulations governing the packing of ar
ticles subject to internal revenue, I'M
less in some way the power or conven-
fence of the government in the collec-
ton is affected. Also that this pro-
vision is in restraint of trade and in
terferes with legitimate business. I'm
til the department has determined, no
seizures will be made under this pro-
vision of the law.

LAKE OF PURE PETROLEUM.
Cheap Fuel For the Alaska Mining
Camps.

San Francisco. Aug. 2.-While the
whole world Is excited over the gold
discoveries in the north, sight has been
lost of another discovery that promises
to be Of great Importance III that sec
ton. Some months ago a lake of al
most pure petroleum was discovered
and samples were sent to Seattle for
an analysis. The assayer's report on
these has just been made public, and
the find is reported to be of incalculable
richness.
A company has been formed in
Seattle to handle the product. and trav-
elers from there say that the company
intends to put it on the Alaskan market
at once. The lake is of unknown depth,
several miles wide and five to six miles
in length, and the quality of the petro
leum is said TO be of the finest. It is
fed by springs. and the hills surround
ing it are said to be rich in coal and
asphalt The lake is only two miles
from the ocean, so that the difficulty
o. transportation is reduced TO a mini
mum. 1t is the expectation of the
owners of the lake TO take its product
into the mining camps of northern.
Alaska wherever the waterways Will
permit.
