GOVERNOR HAsT1NGs' ADDRESS.
Tells Changers That Farmers Duty Does
 Not End in Paying Tax.

Hastings, Pa., Nov. 11.-A public re- ception was held at the opera house this afternoon in honor of visiting members of the National grange. Gov ernor Hastings delivered an address of welcome, in the course of which ne said Public taxation is a necessary incident to all government and the far mer will uncomplainingly contribute his share But his duty does not end with the payment of the tax. He is equally responsible for it's expenditure
 If you do not want your share of the public burden of taxation to be frit- tered away in useless expenditure, it is your fault if you do not stop it. If your capitol building should be destroyed by fire and could be rebuilt with the ex- pendture of half a million dollars you should not be taxed millions on mill lions to aid a delusion which might only enrich some favorite contractor. You had better rise in your might and drive from place and power those who misrepresent you and your interests"

SHOT 4 CONSUMPTiYE.
Edmund Elliott Puts Five Bullets Into
 Mrs. Leavitt's Body.

Belfast, Me, Nov. 11.-Edmund Elli- ott, treer in the Belfast shoe factory, shot Kitty, the wife of Charles Leavitt, on the street near the lodging house where they both lived just after noon to-day. He fired five shots, four of which entered her body. The woman was not killed and three doctors were soon in attendance probing for the bull lets. Elliott, after the shooting, ran along the streets waving his revolver and bowling for the police. He entered the Revere hotel and called for City Marshal Norton, who came and arrest ed him. At the lookup he appeared ex- cited, but refused to make any state ment. His actions led to the belief that he was crazed by drink.
 Elliott is native of New Hampshire and is about forty years of age. Mrs. Leavitt is thirty-fve years old, a con- sumptive, and her husband is 8 clerk in the Commonwealth hotel.

FREAK OF THE WIND.
Blew n Box Car Over Onto Main Track
 Causing Serious Wreck.

Louisville, Ky, Nov 1.-The passen- ger train on the Louisville, Henderson and St. Louis road, which left St. Louis lats evening and which was due in this city at 7;30 o'clock this morning. was derailed and entirely consumed by fire at o'clock this morning near Lewis port, Ky, ninety-eight miles from Louisville. No life was lost and, so far as is known, no one was seriously injured.
 The accident is attributed to a freak of the wind last night which over- turned a box car standing on the Lew isport siding. The car fell directly across the main track and near sharp curve on the road. It was not seen by the engineer of the passenger train un- til it was too late to stop his engine and the train crashed into the obstruction, overturning the engine and tender and the combination car.

HARYARD REGAINS CONFIDENCE.
Belief in Teams Ability to Win-Hard
 Fight Expected.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. Tiff liar yards confidence of victory over Yale on Saturday received a setback after the Yale-Chicago game, it is fast recov- ering, and tonight the college, while not certain of the game, has regained it's belief in the team's ability to win. There is no doubt that Harvard's hopes are more sober than they were a week ago. and there is little of the feeling which prevailed for a week after the Cornell game that Yale would have no show whatever.
 On the contrary, Harvard expects a hard fight. but good judges are now firmly declaring that in the crimson teams defence Yale's trip-hammer plays will run against a far stronger wall than any that they have hitherto kept up with impunity. On the other hand, Harvard's formations, though more slowly executed, can be fairly counted on to make many yards round the Yale ends as we'll as through her tackles The coaches have succeeded admirably in working the team up to it's top notch at the critical time. Much of this is due to Trainer Lathrop, and to-day not man has gone stale, while nearly every one is in such fine shape that there is no likelihood, barring ac- cidents, of any of the eleven being ex- hausted before the critical period in the second half
 The progress of the Yale team has been closely watched throughout the season. and the strong points of the New Haven eleven are fully realized That Dibblee is easily the superior of any Yale half-back seems to be ac- cepted on all sides, while Harvard has a reservoir in the strength in the rush ing of Bouve and other line men. While in the other positions Yale is somewhat stronger, it seems to be the general opinion that it is not quite sufficient to counterbalance Harvard's superiori- ty. The practice of the team to-day was as usual in secret, and consisted of signal work, kicking and falling on the ball. There was a gratifying snap during the entire play.
 There was a rumor current last night and published in a morning paper that two Yale spies had been caught insidd the enclosure yesterday.

ATTORNEY FICHLIN INSANE.
Not Convicted of Forgery Because Note
 in Evidence Were Stolen.

in Evidence Were Stolen.
 Charleston, H., Nov. 1.-The sensa- tional case of Attorney Alfred Flcklin was brought to dramatic close this afternoon by his being sent to the in- sane asylum. Fcklin is the son of the late Orlando B. Ficlzlin, who married a of Georgia. Among other things Flick lin acted as a broker for some rich peo- pie, lending their money out and pay ing the interest as it became due. After long time it was learned that the notes for several thousand dollars were forgeries. The grand jury found fif- teen indictments against Ficklin, and the cases came to trial this week.
 The first case was proven clearly, but by blunder of the state attorney in copying the indictment the judge or dered a verdict of acquittal. The next case was called and while it was in progress the state attorney made the astounding statement that he had been robbed in open court and all of the forged notes stolen. No one was able to find the notes and the case on trial went the way of the first. Then with eleven indictments left the state attor- ney obtained continuance until the January term. MT. Ficklin was then tried for insanity and taken to the Kankakee asylum.

RESPITE FOR DURR4NT.
Warden Hale Instructed Not to Carry Out
 the Execution.

the Execution.
 San Francisco Nov. 11.-Willam H. Theodore Durrant will not be hanged in the San Quelin prison tomorrow, the supreme court of this state having granted a respite at the eleventh hour. Up to o'clock this afternoon when the news came from Sacramento that the court now in session thsre had granted a writ of probable cause and instructed Warden Hale not to carry out the exc cution of Durrant until further orders there was apparently no further hope for the condemned murderer, as his attorneys had made a futile effort to secure another writ of habeas corpus in the United States court and had not been granted permission to appeal.
 Meanwhile, however, Attorney Dupuy hastened to Sacramento and applied to the state supreme court for a writ of probable cause for the purpose of stay ing the proceedings against his client upon the grounds that no official knowl- edge of the action of the supreme court of the United States in the mat ter of Durrant's appealing from the decision of the federal court had yet been received; that the superior court had acted too hastily in sentencing Durrant to be hanged tomorrow as the law required that he be given at least sixty days grace.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOT YAWL.
swarthy Seaman in Charge Who is Put
 Down as a Cuban.

Providence, Nov. 1.-The mysterious sloOp yawl Maggie is still at her moor ings in Walkers Cove, Bristol, detained
 by the fact that no sailing master can
 be obtained. A number of suspicious looking boxes were taken aboard yes- terday, and the townspeOple have be- come convinced that they contain car- tridges and rifles. The same air of se- crecy is maintained by the swarthy sea- man in charge of the craft, who is nat urally put down as Cuban by long shoreman and inquisitive visitors. He refuses to tell the destination of the
 vessel or discuss her cargo, and to this reticence is attributable the fact that he is unable to secure men to sail her.

WANT FRINGE GEORGE TRIED.
Torpedoes on Greek War-ships During Re-
 cent War Were Useless.

cent War Were Useless.
 Brindisi, Italy, Nov. 11.-Letters re- ceived here to-day from Athens say that the torpedo scandal continues to be the sensation of the Greek capital. It has just been ascertained that all the cartridges fitted to the torpedoes during the war between Greece and Turkey were not provided with pereus- sion caps and illuminating mercury. Therefore if the torpedoes had been needed they would have been perfectly harmless. The committee of investi- gation appointed to inquire into the matter decided that two officers, Cap tains Rastopoulo and Anasti, must be tried by court-martial on the charge of culpable negligence.
 Captain Rastopoulo, who is now be- ing tried, has asked that Prince George of Greece, who commanded the torpedo flotilla during the war and who was previous to it a great favorite with the masses, be called as a witness. The court has refused to do this, and the Greek newspapers are publishing wig orous articles on the subject, one going so far as to demand that Prince George be tried by court-martial. The prince is known to be deeply affected by the scandal

Church to Brides House.
 St. Petersburg, Nov. n.-A terrible accident has occurred near Bielostok, Russian Poland, resulting in the death of thirty-eight persons.
 A wedding party of that number were returning from a church to the home of the bride. All were in one wagon, a huge vehicle drawn by eight horses. The road along which they drove cross es the railway track on the level, and the driver, either through carelessness or ignorance of the train schedule, pushed his swiftly moving horses upon the crossing just as the express was coming up. The locomotive struck the vehicle squarely, killing many mem bers of the partw outright and mang- ling others so that they soon expired in frightful agony. Not a member of the party escaped.

THE TWO TEAMS COMPARED
Y4LE SEElLS TO HAVE ADVANTAGE
 OYER HARVARD AT TACKLE.

All the Men in Perfect Condition-The
 Eleven and Substitutes Go to Boston This
 Afternoon-Walter Camps Opinion of
 Yaie's work--The Line Up for To-mor-
 TOW.
 Being fearful of injury the Varsity eleven were given very light work yes terday afternoon, in fact they did not line up against the second eleven, but spent about three quarters of an hour in secret practice. This was entirely devoted to practicing signals and per fecting the interefence in few minor details. That Yale will play the open game of good straight football in the contest with Harvard tomorrow is weeks practice.
 In Mcbride at full back Yale has quite an advantage over Houghton, es- pecially in line bucking and interfer- ence breaking. He in fact combines the cShibS ol IlOuSliloii lo punt e'AAL OL Warren to buck the line. His ability to punt will be given thorough trial as kicking game is to be Yale's style This will be of much qualification to the spectators because of the advant- age of being able to see the method of carrying out each play.
 The comparative strength of the two elevens can hardly be estimated but several of the best football authorities in the country have in their opinions concurred that Yale has shade the stronger team. In the three center men the contest is expected to be very even while at tackles Yale is the stronger, though only by a narrow margin. Captain Rodgers knows more football than Donald, his Harvard oppo- nent. Donald is perhaps his equal in defense, but Rodgers is more aggres- sive and a better ground gainer
 Swain and Chamberlain, the opposing tackles on the other side of the line, are about evenly matched. The latter is just as strong and considerably quicker than his opponents. Harvard has more experienced men at ends than Yale. Both Hall and Hazen have been playing brilliant games at end the past week. The formers right shoulder has given him some trouble during the past two weeks, and he may not be able to last the whole game. In event of his injury, Connor will be substituted. At Quarter DeSaulles and Garrison play similar style of game, but De- Saulles uses more judgment. The half backs are about evenly balanced, all though Dibble is the peer, perhaps, the superior, of Benjamin.
 In regard to the present condition of | the Yale team, MT. Camp made the following statement: "The team has made marked progress in the last ten days. The game with Chicago was immeasurably better than the one ex- hibited against West Point. The football squad, with the coaches leave here this afternoon at 1:45, and will arrive in Boston at $40. A spec ial car will be attached to the train for their use.
 The lineup of the teams in to- morrow's game is:
 Harvard. Yale. Cabot (Capt). ........... Hazen Teft Tackle

 Hanover, N.

Harvard, being on her own grounds, seems to stand a better show of winning.
