THE COLLEGE BOYS ARE WINNERS.
They Defeat the Cottage Fellows I'm
an Interesting Game.


an Interesting Game.
twenty-five students OF Richmond Col
lege, who are climbing up the ladder OF
fame with a pigskin under one arm ana
a Latin grammar under the other, met
on the Broad-Street Park gridiron yes
terday afternoon and gave a practical
demonstration Of the game now being
the subject OF SO many communications
to the daily press. The athletic seekers OF
knowledge had hoped that the exhibition
would be witnessed by some Of the law
makers, as IL is alleged an effort Will be
made to legislste against this great col
iege sport. but II Is supposed they had
games Of their own to look after, as not
a Scion was present.
The contest was between the Blues and
the Reds, the former being representa-
tiyes OF the college proper, while the Red
fellows had the cottage contingent 20
whoop them along. The bleachery crowd
was pretty evenly divided. and the way
they yelled would have been creditable
on the Fourth OF July or 24th OF Decem-
Der matinee. An advance instalment or
Christmas tin horns was everywhere In
evidence. and Il was also evident that
some frog-in-the-throat iozenges would
be wanted for the next day or two by
the rooters. Arnica ana ldudanum VIII
suffice for the players.
The afternoon was not an ideal one for
football. nor was the ground in excel
lent condition for the sport. The glada-
torial arena, with its 5-yard white marks,
was In better shape for a skating per-
formance. This. however, did not seem
TO affect the plans OF the fighters, and
the battle began. The Blues won the
TOSS, and, being somewhat heavier than
the little Reds. naturally took the east
ern. or down-hill. goal. Mr.. Kaufman
kicked of. and the "scrimmaging' was
on with all forty-four feet. In the first
pie-up Mr.. w. Mcneil. he OF baseball
fame. got his ankle mixed with the
bodies OF dozen or 50 Blue men. ana
he retired on the arm OF a friend
In the next down Mr.. Bloxton gave an
exhibition of his spiriting abilities, going
around left-end for 30 yards. Then Mr..
Frayser followed suit. only he saw Box
ton a little better. and made touch
down. Captain Omen kicked goal. ana
the only six points OF the day were
marked down. The Red kids then took
A reef In their armor. and proceeded TO
make Il blue for the Blues. Several OF
| their men were winded, and the water
boys had chance 20 get In the game. as

In three downs being 30 close that q
measuring tape had to be used. When
time was called for the first half the ball
was near the centre Of the ground.
In the second half some very pretty
work was done by Mcneil, Frazier,
Bloxton. and Shaw. Punting was In

also figured conspicuously. In a return
of a punted ball Mr.. Graybills head col

CITY SUED AGAIN.
Mrs. 8. A. Ragsdals Asks $4,000
Damages on West End Property.

Mrs. 8. A. Ragsdale has, through
her attorneys, Edmonston & Cullen,
taken action against the city of Mex
leo to recover $4,000, alleged damages
to property on the corner OF West
Liberty and Depot streets.
In the petition the plaintiff says
that In the fail of 1894 she was and
has since been the owner of property
abutting on the streets named above.
She, states that in the fall of the year
mentioned that the city raised five-
foot grade and made bitches along the
side and front Of her property. She
alleges that the grades thus raised by
the city causes water to flow on and
over her property at this point and
that the deep ditches at the side al
low water to stand and stagnate,
thereby shutting off egress from her
property. For this she asks judg-
ment for 81 900 damages.
The second count in the petition is
the same with the exception that the
plaintiff alleges careless and negligent
raising of the grades and digging of
the bitches; for this she asks for
$1,000 damages.
The case will come up for trial be-
fore the January term of Circuit Court.

ing relatives, amid all the comforts
that tender hands could administer,
Mrs. A. D. Jackson passed away about
4 Eo'clock Thursday afternoon. The
death was not unexpected. For near
